Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so hopefully at least another two or three years.
Speaker 1: So great things I had and great things happening at
Speaker 1: CSU as well.
Speaker 2: Right, I mean.
Speaker 1: Again, they literally got robbed or they should have been
Speaker 1: in that sweet sixteen game last night. But yeah, bright
Speaker 1: sports future in Colorado at the moment, and I mean,
Speaker 1: you look at the Broncos, right, and this isn't going
Speaker 1: to be a sports show as much as we'd like
Speaker 1: it to be. But you look at the Broncos, who
Speaker 1: suddenly have you know, the wealthiest ownership group in the
Speaker 1: NFL and a superb ownership group, so all sorts of pluses.
Speaker 1: You just have to love this KUSA story talking about Colorado.
Speaker 1: The Democrats in Colorado now expanding access to driver's licenses
Speaker 1: for people in the country illegally.
Speaker 4: Some people have lived in Colorado for years without a
Speaker 4: driver's license. It's particularly hard to get one for people
Speaker 4: in the country without proper documentation.
Speaker 2: For some it was it's impossible.
Speaker 3: But it was very difficult, and now for nearly everyone
Speaker 3: it's going to be so much easier.
Speaker 4: Mariaveldez is a senior driving instructor at American Driving Academic
Speaker 4: Such looking forward to a new law relaxing requirements for
Speaker 4: people in the country without authorization to get driver's licenses.
Speaker 3: Well, one of the requirements was to live in Colorado
Speaker 3: for a minimum of two years.
Speaker 4: This law eliminates that two year requirement.
Speaker 2: Think about that for a second.
Speaker 1: Okay, so what the Democrats in Colorado are doing is
Speaker 1: actively inviting people from around the world to not only
Speaker 1: come to the USC legally, but to come to Colorado.
Speaker 2: And here's the big incentive.
Speaker 1: You get a driver's license here day one, no vetting,
Speaker 1: no criminal background. You get a driver's license, day one.
Speaker 1: And when I say that, no vetting background, it not
Speaker 1: the way you would if you came to Colorado from
Speaker 1: Nebraska and said I'm going to be a Colorado resident.
Speaker 2: I want to get a license here.
Speaker 1: Remarkable that they're incentivizing this, but wait, it gets worse as.
Speaker 4: A requirement to provide an income tax returnal or Social
Speaker 4: Security number.
Speaker 2: Valdez says, it's a game changer for her driving.
Speaker 1: Right, So now you don't have to provide a social
Speaker 1: you don't have to show your pain texts anything like that.
Speaker 1: They are going to the most extreme links they can
Speaker 1: think of to attract people to come here illegally.
Speaker 2: Why do you think they're doing that?
Speaker 4: Students like Elma.
Speaker 2: Baysaena k in Colorado ra.
Speaker 4: Jul Stress Baysa says, for three years she's had to
Speaker 4: rely on uber to get her family around.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: And the story goes on from there. But here's something
Speaker 1: you're not seeing in the headlines. And this I pride
Speaker 1: myself on a little bit because I actually read these
Speaker 1: laws like in and dig into them and dig into
Speaker 1: the fine print. This law that police and the Democrats
Speaker 1: just you know, enacted, it actually just became active. This
Speaker 1: law says that the ID produced So you just heard
Speaker 1: in the story. Now Democrats have said, you can come here,
Speaker 1: seem to get a license. You don't have to show
Speaker 1: a social or taxes or anything like that. The ID
Speaker 1: that you produce can be expired for nine years, and
Speaker 1: Jared Police's Colorado will still take it.
Speaker 2: So why do you.
Speaker 1: Think they did that. Okay, you got to give us
Speaker 1: an ID, but it can be expired for no more
Speaker 1: than ten years, so you can actually have an ID
Speaker 1: that's expired for nine years, three hundred and sixty four
Speaker 1: days expired, and they'll still take it.
Speaker 2: Why do you think they did that?
Speaker 5: And what's to stop these illegal immigrants? It needs to
Speaker 5: be said, because it's not set in this piece, Dan
Speaker 5: from just registering to vote while they're there getting their
Speaker 5: driver's license without being vetted.
Speaker 1: I think, And again you go to ad Dan Caplis
Speaker 1: on Twitter, you can see it. Bennett and Higgeleoper are
Speaker 1: pushing a bill that says ICE cannot detain illegal immigrants.
Speaker 2: At voting boosts at the polling place.
Speaker 1: I don't think they're being at all subtle about what
Speaker 1: they're trying to accomplish here.
Speaker 2: So it's just, yeah, the question is is this going
Speaker 2: to be enough?
Speaker 1: Is this going to cut through in this twenty six
Speaker 1: cycle when the GOP is going to have a candidate
Speaker 1: for governor and they're going to have a candidate for
Speaker 1: the US Senate, Is this sort of stuff going to
Speaker 1: cut through?
Speaker 2: And you would hope that it would right And to me.
Speaker 1: You know, as a guy, my whole professional life, forty
Speaker 1: years of it now, my old professional life is representing
Speaker 1: people who are in the worst spot of their entire life.
Speaker 1: Loved one's just been killed or some devastating injury, you know,
Speaker 1: because somebody did something reckless on the road. And to me,
Speaker 1: it's always seemed fundamentally immoral to support any policy that
Speaker 1: causes people to suffer that kind of ultimate harm at
Speaker 1: the hands of somebody who shouldn't even be here, right,
Speaker 1: because that's just to me, so fundamentally unjust.
Speaker 2: And it's no comment on people south of the border.
Speaker 1: There's so many great people who come in here illegally
Speaker 1: along with because of what the Democrats are doing, a
Speaker 1: lot of people who are criminals because the Democrats decided
Speaker 1: they want to open it up and not vet.
Speaker 2: But there are a lot.
Speaker 1: Of great people who come here illegally. But even the
Speaker 1: great people who come here illegally, every time you put
Speaker 1: an additional vehicle on the road, you increase the danger.
Speaker 1: And how could you justify doing that to the citizens
Speaker 1: of the United States When I'm sure everybody listening has
Speaker 1: experienced or knows somebody who has lost a loved one
Speaker 1: in a car crash or some huge injury. And of
Speaker 1: everything in life, and we can think of a few exceptions, right,
Speaker 1: but of almost everything in life, it's the thing that
Speaker 1: is most immediately life changing and devastating because nobody sees
Speaker 1: it coming, nobody plans for it, but it completely destroys
Speaker 1: lives in a heartbeat.
Speaker 2: And to support policies that you know, that you know
Speaker 2: are going to expand that terrible death and loss.
Speaker 1: To me, that's just fundamentally immoral. But that's what your
Speaker 1: Polis and your Colorado Democrats have done, gone out of
Speaker 1: their way to attract more people to come.
Speaker 2: Here illegally and get on the road immediately. That's what
Speaker 2: they've done. Ask yourself, why, and what's this business about?
Speaker 1: Yeah, the ID can be expired as long as it's
Speaker 1: not expired for ten full years. Why do you think
Speaker 1: they went to that kind of bizarre link? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he text here It says Dan, why even require a
Speaker 1: license anymore? This is stupid, And I said reams. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that means Sheriff reams or not, but
Speaker 1: it is. It's insane, and it's suicidal. It's societally suicidal.
Speaker 1: So I can't think ran And plus they've pretty much
Speaker 1: acknowledged it implicitly.
Speaker 2: At this point.
Speaker 1: It's just an obvious play by Democrats to get illegal
Speaker 1: immigrants to come.
Speaker 2: Here and vote for them. Correct. There's no other explanations,
Speaker 2: no other.
Speaker 1: Explanation for it other than listen. The far left obviously,
Speaker 1: when you talk about the secular left that runs the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party, it wants to obviously destabilize America, undermine America
Speaker 1: so that so many more people are dependent on government
Speaker 1: and then have to vote in their minds for the left,
Speaker 1: because it's the left that's setting up this, you know,
Speaker 1: quasi socialist state. So that can be part of the
Speaker 1: play as well, but the most immediate play I think
Speaker 1: in Bennett Hickenlooper, I think acknowledged it with their bill.
Speaker 2: It says, I.
Speaker 1: Cannot detain any legal immigrant at the voting booth. Wow,
Speaker 1: why would you want to protect somebody here illegally while
Speaker 1: they're at the voting booth?
Speaker 2: Glad you're here?
Speaker 1: Three or three someone three eight two five five text
Speaker 1: d an five seven seven three nine. Hey, when we
Speaker 1: come back, under what circumstances should kids that see you
Speaker 1: Boulder other universities in Colorado and other places in the
Speaker 1: country have their visas pulled and be deported for their
Speaker 1: activism on campus. Big issue now because the administration has
Speaker 1: thrown out hundreds and the administration has an approach that
Speaker 1: you may well support. But where do you think the
Speaker 1: line should be drawn. You're on the Dankapla Show.
Speaker 6: And now back to the dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 4: Some people have lived in Colorado for years without a
Speaker 4: driver's license. It's particularly hard to get one for people
Speaker 4: in the country without proper documentation.
Speaker 3: It wasn't impossible, but it was very difficult, and now
Speaker 3: for nearly everyone, it's going to be oh much easier.
Speaker 2: Maria.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can come here illegally your first minute in
Speaker 1: Colorado and get your driver's license, and you can use
Speaker 1: an ID that's been expired for over nine years.
Speaker 5: I know this infuriates a lot of our listeners as
Speaker 5: much as it does me and maybe you. But this
Speaker 5: whole notion that they just forgot their documentation somewhere. They
Speaker 5: just came here without documentation. Oh man, I left it
Speaker 5: on my encounter back at home and just let me
Speaker 5: go get it. They came here intentionally illegally. They know
Speaker 5: they're here illegally.
Speaker 2: I don't see. And I was talking to you about
Speaker 2: this during the break.
Speaker 5: Why we should reward that behavior, that illegal action with
Speaker 5: a valid government issued driver's license.
Speaker 2: This is insane to me.
Speaker 1: Well, it's because of your worldview, and your worldview is
Speaker 1: the sane in correct worldview. But the worldview of Jared
Speaker 1: Polus and the Democratic Party in Colorado is that each
Speaker 1: and every one of these illegal immigrants is more important
Speaker 1: than you are, correct, And each and every one of
Speaker 1: these folks here illegally is more important than any current
Speaker 1: Colorado citizen. I mean, that's their view and their logic.
Speaker 1: Their logic is that, Okay, the current Colorado citizens already
Speaker 1: know who they're voting for, and each and every person
Speaker 1: that Polists and the rest of the Colorado Democrats succeed
Speaker 1: in attracting to the state is likely to be an
Speaker 1: additional vote overwhelmingly in their favor. That's their calculation, and
Speaker 1: that's why they are literally passing these laws that they
Speaker 1: understand are terrible for the people who are already citizens
Speaker 1: of Colorado. But they've already got the votes from those people,
Speaker 1: and some vote Republican, but they know they've already got
Speaker 1: certain percentage locked in for them, and so they are
Speaker 1: now adding these additional votes. They're importing vot votes, even
Speaker 1: though it will increase the number of Colorado citizens who
Speaker 1: are killed on the roadways, it'll increase the number of
Speaker 1: Colorado citizens who are maimed on the roadways, it'll increase
Speaker 1: the number of Colorado children who are killed on the roadways.
Speaker 2: They know all that, but.
Speaker 1: They're happy to sacrifice those lives to get additional Democrat votes.
Speaker 2: That's what's driving this.
Speaker 1: Now there's another part of this on the left right,
Speaker 1: same analysis, but the primary motivation is just destabilizing society.
Speaker 1: But the primary of motivation is is the votes.
Speaker 2: As proven by HICKL. Leuburn Bennett pushing a bill.
Speaker 1: That says ICE can't detain any legal immigrant at a
Speaker 1: polling place. So that's what's going on here. And they're
Speaker 1: betting and do you think it's a good bet? Ryan,
Speaker 1: And I'll go to calls and texts. They're betting that
Speaker 1: Colorado voters aren't going to punish him for it.
Speaker 2: Correct.
Speaker 1: And they've seen a voting pattern in Colorado which has
Speaker 1: caused them to conclude that that no matter how they perform,
Speaker 1: no matter how much crazy stuff they do, no matter
Speaker 1: how much it increases crime in the state and traffic
Speaker 1: deaths in the state and cost of living in the state,
Speaker 1: they will get elected overwhelmingly at the state level. So
Speaker 1: that's their calculation. Yeah, it's Dan, you're killing me. Make
Speaker 1: that lady's voice stop. Who's he referring to their Ooh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, Yeah, I think referring to the story
Speaker 1: we just listened to.
Speaker 2: Dan.
Speaker 1: After nine years, people can look so different. They can
Speaker 1: be using someone else's for eternity. That's clearly part of
Speaker 1: the motivation. We're talking about one of the most revealing
Speaker 1: parts of this new law where Polis says that if
Speaker 1: you're coming here illegally, you get a license in Colorado
Speaker 1: the first day, even if your ID has been expired
Speaker 1: for almost ten years. It can be expired for nine years,
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty four days, and Polis will still
Speaker 1: accept it. And we ask the question why, and obviously
Speaker 1: it's to make it easier for people to come here
Speaker 1: illegally and get licenses, even if they're the person in
Speaker 1: the ID or not right, because again, the whole point
Speaker 1: of Polis in the left, we don't care who they are.
Speaker 1: We don't care what they've done, where they've done it,
Speaker 1: in the country they've come from. We don't care how
Speaker 1: many people they've killed on the roadways, in the country
Speaker 1: they came from. We want them here because they're additional
Speaker 1: Democrat votes, and so yeah, that's why. Yeah, your ID
Speaker 1: can be nine years and three hundred and sixty four
Speaker 1: days old and they'll still take it. And I think
Speaker 1: the texture is exactly right. So somebody looks at the
Speaker 1: photo and it doesn't match so well, that was me
Speaker 1: ten years ago.
Speaker 2: Oh you're good, Yeah, go out on our roads. Yeah insane.
Speaker 1: How about this text, which is really really really early
Speaker 1: on target. Where the heck did it go? I know
Speaker 1: it's hiding here somewhere because you have no way of
Speaker 1: deleting tech. Expect there right Ryan. Once Oh, I'm joking.
Speaker 1: Once it comes in, it has to stay there. How
Speaker 1: about this one? Yeah, this is the one I was
Speaker 1: talking about.
Speaker 2: Dan.
Speaker 1: Will the States supply and send an interpreter to the
Speaker 1: site of accidents?
Speaker 2: Or do I have to get my own? Oh my gosh, steaming. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know why.
Speaker 1: That's such an important point. Here's a tactic I'm seeing
Speaker 1: commonly these days. Because I spend much of my time
Speaker 1: representing people who are survivors of those killed in truck
Speaker 1: crashes or seriously injured in truck crashes. What I'm seeing
Speaker 1: is this pattern where you have a Spanish speaking driver
Speaker 1: and this horrible crash happens.
Speaker 2: I resolved, I settled.
Speaker 1: One a couple of months ago, and I'm litigating one
Speaker 1: right now, and in fact took testimony on it in
Speaker 1: jail yesterday. And what you're seeing is the driver immediately
Speaker 1: says to the trooper who arrives no Oblain Glass, I
Speaker 1: need a Spanish speaking officer. And I think what the
Speaker 1: companies and drivers know is that it's going to take
Speaker 1: a long time to get a Spanish speaking person to
Speaker 1: the scene so that they can give a statement.
Speaker 2: So I think it's a tactic.
Speaker 1: Now, I've seen it last two cases with Spanish speaking drivers.
Speaker 1: The first thing they say is I need a Spanish
Speaker 1: speaking officer, And I think it's.
Speaker 2: A legal delay tactic. Yeah, well that makes perfect sense. Yeah,
Speaker 2: buys them time.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, how do you mirandize somebody that doesn't
Speaker 5: speak English.
Speaker 1: I think it's personally, my constitutionally protected opinion. I think
Speaker 1: there's a tactic going on out there.
Speaker 2: Totally agree.
Speaker 1: But yeah, and so, But then you bump up against this.
Speaker 1: Under federal motor carrier safety regulations, it's a violation for
Speaker 1: a driver to not be able to speak English. Well,
Speaker 1: enough to engage in normal everyday conversation.
Speaker 2: How can they read road signs exactly?
Speaker 1: And even if somebody could read a road sign, you cannot,
Speaker 1: in my view, you safely operate a semi a commercial
Speaker 1: vehicle if you can't converse in English, if you can't
Speaker 1: read and write English.
Speaker 2: Because Ryan, there may be certain.
Speaker 1: Road signs all of us know, right, the octagon, right,
Speaker 1: everybody knows that's a stop sign.
Speaker 2: But there are more complicated road signs. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So anyway, Federal motor Carrier Safety rags, they are right
Speaker 1: on point there. So listen, we've got a crisis, that's
Speaker 1: an understatement on our roadways in Colorado and across the
Speaker 1: country when it comes to truckers. And it's not limited
Speaker 1: to truckers who don't speak English. There are some truckers
Speaker 1: who don't speak English who tend to do a very
Speaker 1: good job often. But you still, you cannot operate a
Speaker 1: motor vehicle. You cannot operate a semi safely on our
Speaker 1: roadways if you're not conversing in English. But yeah, we've
Speaker 1: got a crisis overall. And Poliss made it much worse
Speaker 1: for Colorado.
Speaker 2: When he stepped in. And you have this this reckless truck? Right?
Speaker 1: Who just killed all these people on the roadway? I
Speaker 1: remember all the flaming wreckage, all the dead bodies and
Speaker 1: sentence convicted first degree well, pardon me, convicted vehicular homicide,
Speaker 1: multiple counts, sentenced to one hundred years. Kim Kardashian whispers
Speaker 1: in Polus's ear. Polus cuts the guy a big break.
Speaker 1: He'll be out in just five years. And what do
Speaker 1: you think that message is? What do you think that
Speaker 1: message is to truckers all over America? What you can
Speaker 1: get away with in Colorado?
Speaker 2: Here on the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 6: You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 2: That's the point, there must be.
Speaker 5: Oh, nothing's going to stop these illegals now from getting
Speaker 5: the driver's license.
Speaker 1: Yeah, talking about the Colorado Democrats, Jared Poulis, and it's
Speaker 1: in effect right now, you know they and we played
Speaker 1: a story on KOs they kind of glorifying it. But
Speaker 1: this total madness, right, because where are you in the
Speaker 1: most danger you will ever be in your life unless
Speaker 1: you're listening to this show as a member of law enforcement,
Speaker 1: are firefighters or the US military. The greatest danger you
Speaker 1: will ever be in in your life is when you
Speaker 1: get in your car or while you're in your car.
Speaker 1: Right now, that's just the reality. And not only is
Speaker 1: it the greatest danger you'll ever be in, it is
Speaker 1: the most immediate.
Speaker 2: It is the.
Speaker 1: Most devastating kind of danger because it happens in a heartbeat.
Speaker 1: You know, you got your kids waiting for you at
Speaker 1: home today, maybe your kids are three and five, and
Speaker 1: you have this beautiful young wife or handsome husband, and
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you're not going to come
Speaker 1: home tonight because some reckless driver blows.
Speaker 2: That light you're coming up on.
Speaker 1: And so the chances of that happening, and that just
Speaker 1: compounds the horror right for everybody involved, the chances and
Speaker 1: the fundamental unfairness and the morality of it.
Speaker 2: The chances of it.
Speaker 1: Happening are higher today than they were yesterday. Police knew
Speaker 1: they would be. But he doesn't care because these are
Speaker 1: more potential Democrat votes coming in. So he found the
Speaker 1: biggest magnet he could get, which is, hey, you want
Speaker 1: a reason to come ilegally to the US and particularly Colorado.
Speaker 1: The first day you show up here, we're going to
Speaker 1: give you a driver's license. Wow, And your ID can
Speaker 1: be expired for almost ten years and we'll still give
Speaker 1: it to you.
Speaker 2: So if that picture doesn't match, don't worry, just say, hey,
Speaker 2: that's how I looked ten years ago. Yeah, so that's
Speaker 2: what's going on.
Speaker 1: It's led to and some related conversations have led to
Speaker 1: a lot of great text and so dan English is
Speaker 1: the official language of the United States. Can't we enforce
Speaker 1: English speaking rule with commercial drivers? Listen, I'm here to
Speaker 1: tell you if there's one thing that needs to happen
Speaker 1: in America to day before the end of this show,
Speaker 1: and everybody from all political parties should be able to
Speaker 1: support it, and if they don't support it, they're just
Speaker 1: confirming they don't care about you. Is we should have
Speaker 1: a one hundred zero issue in America that nobody can
Speaker 1: drive a commercial vehicle and sure as hell, nobody can
Speaker 1: drive a semi unless they can read and write English.
Speaker 2: Well, isn't that something we should all be able to
Speaker 2: agree on.
Speaker 1: And we have a federal Motor Safety Carrier reg that
Speaker 1: says that. But you want to look for enforcement, and
Speaker 1: don't blame the great men and women in law enforcement.
Speaker 2: This has got to be federal enforcement.
Speaker 1: This has to has to be strengthened state laws we
Speaker 1: should all be able to agree on that.
Speaker 2: But that's not what's going on. That's not what's going
Speaker 2: on right now.
Speaker 1: And listen, we see a lot of carnage from American
Speaker 1: citizen drivers who speak fluent English and read fluent English.
Speaker 1: We have a really odd situation in the trucking industry.
Speaker 1: We have great American heroes who are truckers, because we
Speaker 1: can't live our lives without truck drivers, people willing to
Speaker 1: do that tough job, people doing.
Speaker 2: It really well.
Speaker 1: We can't live our lives, we can't have all the
Speaker 1: we rely on. And those people are heroes who do
Speaker 1: it well.
Speaker 2: It's a tough job.
Speaker 1: And then we have the other side of the industry,
Speaker 1: which right now is just carnage on wheels, and it's
Speaker 1: getting worse by the day. And then we have a
Speaker 1: segment of that which is non English speaking, which compounds
Speaker 1: the problem. So it is a clear and present danger
Speaker 1: each and every day in Colorado, in America, and there
Speaker 1: needs to be drastic action on it. And Polus has
Speaker 1: gone out of his way to make it worse in Colorado.
Speaker 2: So I want to get to some of these.
Speaker 1: Other dan President Trump just said only one language exists English.
Speaker 2: I am hopeful and optimistic.
Speaker 1: In fact, we're going to try to get Sean Duffy
Speaker 1: on dot hopeful and optimistic that Trump is going to
Speaker 1: take dramatic action on this. You would think that he'd
Speaker 1: be highly motivated and would want to and it's something
Speaker 1: that so obviously needs to be done. And I think
Speaker 1: Ryan would have even broader support in America than the
Speaker 1: support right now for deporting people criminally here illegally committing
Speaker 1: other crimes, because let's face it, every single driver on
Speaker 1: the roadway, every single driver on the roadway is afraid
Speaker 1: of semis. And so if you are able to make
Speaker 1: the semis on the roadway today, sayer instantly.
Speaker 2: By enforcing the law that says you got to be able.
Speaker 1: To read and write and speak English to operate a semi,
Speaker 1: that's going to be a very popular thing in America.
Speaker 5: What I always try to do, Dan is view it
Speaker 5: from the other side and try to argue the other side.
Speaker 5: This is a classic technique and debate, and I don't
Speaker 5: understand where anybody could come down know they shouldn't have
Speaker 5: to be able to read and write English and recognize
Speaker 5: our road signs, warning signs, SPEEDLM, all that sort of
Speaker 5: thing that that should not be a required component of
Speaker 5: operating a vehicle in the United States of America where
Speaker 5: English is the official language, and it needs to be mentioned. Dan,
Speaker 5: I'm seeing this time and again, and I'm seeing it
Speaker 5: on the likes of CNN, MSNBC. It's not just illegal
Speaker 5: aliens who are here commit other crimes. Americans buy and large,
Speaker 5: by at least a sixty to forty margin and maybe
Speaker 5: two thirds, favor deporting all illegal immigrants, those who are
Speaker 5: in the country illegally, period.
Speaker 2: And you're right about what the pull show on that.
Speaker 2: You're sure right.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is, though, if Trump's looking for eighty
Speaker 1: twenty ninety ten issues, then enforcing it strictly among commercial
Speaker 1: drivers in America right now, and particularly semi drivers. You've
Speaker 1: got to be able to speak, read, and write English.
Speaker 1: That's going to be a ninety ten issue in America
Speaker 1: and it's going to save a lot of lives overnight.
Speaker 1: Ryan asks a good question, Okay, what's the counter argument
Speaker 1: to that? Well, from the Democrats, you know, they just
Speaker 1: want every single person they can get in the country
Speaker 1: illegally to come in because they see them as voters
Speaker 1: for them, right, and they see it as a destabilizing
Speaker 1: influence in America, which is what the secular left wants
Speaker 1: to do. Now, you've got something else going on here, Ryan,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, and from a bunch of these trucking
Speaker 1: cases I do, I think you've got certain and I
Speaker 1: don't want to generally.
Speaker 2: Put this on anybody.
Speaker 1: You have certain commercial interest in America that are so
Speaker 1: desperate for enough trucks on the road to deliver product
Speaker 1: that they're fine with that. And to me, that's absolutely
Speaker 1: a moral because there cannot be this acceptable casualty rate
Speaker 1: because we need more truckers on the road. No, what
Speaker 1: has to happen is we have to make the adjustments
Speaker 1: in the free market necessary to get more good truck
Speaker 1: drivers onto the road. Regardless of what race, color, creed,
Speaker 1: that doesn't matter. They just have to be safe drivers.
Speaker 1: And they have to be drivers who can speak, read,
Speaker 1: and write English, because you cannot be safe if you don't.
Speaker 1: So I really hope Trump dives into this, and we're
Speaker 1: going to try to get Sewn Duffy on the show
Speaker 1: and have that conversation with him as well, and hopefully
Speaker 1: this administration will get after it.
Speaker 2: Dan.
Speaker 1: A driver's license is a privilege, not a right, and
Speaker 1: that doesn't matter to the left at all, right because,
Speaker 1: and again I don't want to get too philosophical, but
Speaker 1: what's so hard for a lot of Democrats to understand?
Speaker 1: Right Because I grew up as a Democrat. Virtually everybody
Speaker 1: in my extended family is a Democrat. Joe's a very
Speaker 1: active conservative and carolines their own woman Josichromam, which I
Speaker 1: respect the heck out of. But almost everybody in my
Speaker 1: extended family is a Democrat. And so what so many
Speaker 1: Democrats who are really good people, they're not these psycho
Speaker 1: lefties who own and operate the party. What they don't
Speaker 1: appreciate right now is the people who own and operate
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party have a profoundly different view of human life,
Speaker 1: and not just in the abortion context. And I don't
Speaker 1: say just because abortion is the mass killing of it
Speaker 1: is a human life. But they don't view each human
Speaker 1: life as having its own dignity, its own value, it's
Speaker 1: in own importance. They don't view it as coming from God.
Speaker 1: They view human lives as expendable except their own. And
Speaker 1: so when they pass these policies that are going to
Speaker 1: benefit them by bringing in, say millions, more here illegally,
Speaker 1: even the unvettative committed horrible crimes in other countries. They
Speaker 1: don't even think about the value of the human lives,
Speaker 1: the innocent lives that are then going to be raped,
Speaker 1: then going to be killed, going to be maimed. It's
Speaker 1: not even on the radar because they don't view human
Speaker 1: life the same as we do. And there are so
Speaker 1: many Democrats who don't realize that yet, and as they
Speaker 1: come to realize it, they're going to be a lot
Speaker 1: less likely to vote Democratic. But in the meantime, hey,
Speaker 1: they see Republicans as, you know, the bad things they
Speaker 1: see Republicans as, and they're just going to habitually vote Democratic.
Speaker 2: But that's what's happening because.
Speaker 1: You could not do the things Polists and the Colorado
Speaker 1: Dems are doing, not most in many way, if you
Speaker 1: had any respect for the inherent value of human life.
Speaker 2: You're on the Dan Caplas shop.
Speaker 6: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast Academy.
Speaker 4: She's looking forward to a new law relaxing requirements for
Speaker 4: people in the country without authorization to get driver's licenses.
Speaker 3: Well, one of the requirements was to live in Colorado
Speaker 3: for a minimum of two years.
Speaker 4: This law eliminates that to your requirement, so you can
Speaker 4: show up same day and get the license Dan.
Speaker 2: And then what you know I've found reading the bill.
Speaker 1: Itself, is your ID can be expired for up to
Speaker 1: ten years and they'll still take it right, because they
Speaker 1: want you to get a license here even if you're
Speaker 1: not the person in the ID. So you can say, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's just how I look ten years ago.
Speaker 5: Can I follow this twisted logic of this obviously woke
Speaker 5: reporter who refuses to use the term illegal immigrant or
Speaker 5: illegal alien or the here illegally If they're here without authorization,
Speaker 5: how can they be authorized to have a valid driver's
Speaker 5: license in this country?
Speaker 1: Well, because it comes back to sanctuary state, right, because
Speaker 1: you've got certain states and certain cities that have said,
Speaker 1: we're not going to adhere to federal immigration law or
Speaker 1: to the spirit of federal immigration law.
Speaker 2: So we are going to go.
Speaker 1: Out of our way to attract people to come here
Speaker 1: illegally because we want them here, says Jared Polis, And
Speaker 1: through his actions not his words. We want them here
Speaker 1: because they're going to be additional votes for us. We
Speaker 1: want them here because they further the political aims of
Speaker 1: the left, and we know that more of our citizens
Speaker 1: are going to be killed because we attract them here.
Speaker 2: But we don't care.
Speaker 1: How can anybody argue that that's what's going on. It's
Speaker 1: clearly what's going on. Three or three someone three A
Speaker 1: two five five text DN five seven seven three nine. Dan,
Speaker 1: having an official Colorado driver's license gives the legal aliens
Speaker 1: a level of credibility towards being an American citizen that
Speaker 1: is false. People would be less likely to question their
Speaker 1: citizenship status, absolutely right, Yeah, all of that is true.
Speaker 5: Dan.
Speaker 2: This is what I don't understand.
Speaker 1: How some people can go after gun manufacturers and law
Speaker 1: abiding citizens, but we cannot go after the state when
Speaker 1: they legally give somebody a license and it causes an accident. Well,
Speaker 1: here they are legally doing it. I mean, the state
Speaker 1: has made this decision, which is obviously horrible for the
Speaker 1: citizens of Colorado, but it's made this decision to benefit
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party at the cost of innocent lives. Right,
Speaker 1: But these will be legally issued licenses. Now, as I've
Speaker 1: said for a long time, you want to end this
Speaker 1: sanctuary city madness.
Speaker 2: Immediately pass laws that.
Speaker 1: Allow people who are physically damaged by someone here illegally
Speaker 1: to sue sanctuary cities and states, and it will end
Speaker 1: in a week, guaranteed, It'll lend in a week. That's
Speaker 1: all it would take. And we should have a law
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, why don't we? I think the question
Speaker 1: answers itself, right, three or three? Someone three eight two
Speaker 1: five five The number texts d an five seven seven
Speaker 1: three nine Dan. I've been gone for a bit, so
Speaker 1: this driver's license tobacle is already in effect.
Speaker 2: What can we do?
Speaker 1: And how did this happen without a citizen's vote? Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it was passed fairly, routinely became an effective jeez, I.
Speaker 2: Think a couple of days ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, But again, this comes back to the media too, right,
Speaker 1: because there are noble exceptions, but most of the media
Speaker 1: right now is an extension of the Colorado Democratic Party
Speaker 1: in the National Democratic Party. And so, you know, something
Speaker 1: this harmful and bizarre you would think would get of
Speaker 1: saturation coverage from the day the bill was introduced, But
Speaker 1: that didn't happen in Colorado, so the vast majority of
Speaker 1: people did not know what was happening. To the Texter's point,
Speaker 1: young Ryan, you being a math whiz. What do you
Speaker 1: think the numbers would be if this was put on
Speaker 1: the ballot constitutional amendment against issuing driver's licenses to folks
Speaker 1: here illegally.
Speaker 2: What do you think the vote.
Speaker 5: The ballot measures you described would be to vote for
Speaker 5: the restriction of driver's license to those here relations.
Speaker 2: So a yes vote.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've got to be here legally to get a
Speaker 1: license eighty twenty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it'd be about that.
Speaker 1: Now, what the left knows is it takes what easily
Speaker 1: a couple of million bucks to get something on the ballot.
Speaker 1: But you know, I know there are some folks in
Speaker 1: the audience. We have such a phenomenal audience, just great people.
Speaker 1: A lot of great people who don't have any money
Speaker 1: in the bank, and a lot of great people who
Speaker 1: have hundreds of millions in the bank. Some of you
Speaker 1: folks with hundreds of millions in the bank, just bankroll it.
Speaker 1: Bank roll a ballot measure and the life you save may.
Speaker 2: Be your own.
Speaker 1: Three oh three someone three eight two five five text
Speaker 1: d A N five seven seven three nine. So we
Speaker 1: got that going for us right home, my lord. There's
Speaker 1: so much going on in the world right now, but
Speaker 1: so much to be happy. About two because the Democrats
Speaker 1: right now, you know, they're kind of self destructing. And
Speaker 1: we expected this to happen because they've just been living
Speaker 1: a lot right about who they are and what they
Speaker 1: stand for. And once Americans felt free to speak the
Speaker 1: truth and see things truly and be able to acknowledge
Speaker 1: that without fear of being canceled, that the Democrats are
Speaker 1: spending They they don't know how to get any traction,
Speaker 1: and that's why we get gifts like Governor Tim Walls
Speaker 1: of Minnesota, who's now clearly trying to run for the
Speaker 1: presidential nomination. Tim, keep running, run hard, and say things like.
Speaker 2: This that our strength is our diversity.
Speaker 7: We've been talking about this for years as a country
Speaker 7: of immigrants, and we let them define the issue on immigration.
Speaker 7: We let them define the issue on D and I THEI,
Speaker 7: and we let them define what woke is.
Speaker 1: Wait a second, what does he mean that we let
Speaker 1: them define it? All we did was tell the truth,
Speaker 1: the undeniable, provable truth, the irrefutable truth. So how is
Speaker 1: that letting us define it? Well, yeah, because they want
Speaker 1: to lie about it. And he goes on, it gets better.
Speaker 7: We got ourselves in this mess because we weren't bold
Speaker 7: enough to stand up and say, you damn.
Speaker 2: Right, we're proud of these policies, we're gonna put them
Speaker 2: in and we're going to execute them.
Speaker 1: Well, I guess you really couldn't lose much worse than
Speaker 1: they lost. But what do you think it would have
Speaker 1: looked like on election night if they got up and said, no,
Speaker 1: we want four more years of the same, We want
Speaker 1: the borders open the same way they were for the
Speaker 1: whole Biden administration and people flowing.
Speaker 2: In unvetted from all over the world.
Speaker 1: What do you think would happen if they did what
Speaker 1: Tim w But clearly he's running for the nomination in
Speaker 1: twenty eight And that's the beauty of the totally broken
Speaker 1: Democratic Party right now, right is that you've got to
Speaker 1: go further and further and further left to get the
Speaker 1: money you need to win the nomination. The big money
Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party is on. You can't call them
Speaker 1: psycho because they're highly intelligent people with horrific ideas for
Speaker 1: this country.
