The American way 6 00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:18.960 is to fight that, and the American way is to 7 00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:23.760 protect others. And I have this right now, this combination 8 00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:26.359 of emotions going on I don't think I've ever had 9 00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:29.640 at the same time before, and it is a combination 10 00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:37.359 of incredible gratitude and unfathomable rage. And I have him 11 00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:38.920 at the same time, and I've never had him at 12 00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:43.280 the same time before because I have gratitude all the time. 13 00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:45.840 My mom taught us that every morning when you woke up, 14 00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:47.840 since I was a little kid, every morning when you 15 00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:49.840 wake up, think of the five things. 16 00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:50.799 You're grateful for that day. 17 00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:54.280 So I've always had that gift from my mom of 18 00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:59.759 gratitude and extreme gratitude. But I've never had that emotion 19 00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:03.200 at the same time. I felt this rage where I 20 00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:05.319 don't know if i'd trust myself if I've got my 21 00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:07.680 hands on this guy. Maybe it was a woman, but 22 00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:10.760 I'm ninety nine point nine percent sure it was a guy, 23 00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.359 because he almost killed my daughter. And I'm going to 24 00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:17.200 find him, and I'm going to find him with your help. 25 00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:20.760 And I'm going to give somebody a big fat reward 26 00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:24.120 if they can help me find this guy. And so 27 00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:26.200 here's what happened, right. You know, we talk about on 28 00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:29.959 this show all the time. We say, Hey, one thing 29 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.120 I've learned over the years doing the kind of law 30 00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:38.640 I do is when the light turns green, look both 31 00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:43.439 ways before you go. When the light turns green, do 32 00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:48.920 not drive forward. Look both ways. Because Colorado right now 33 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:52.560 has become so many reckless drivers right who are just 34 00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:56.439 running red lights. Sometimes they're drugged up, sometimes they just 35 00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:58.799 think they can get away with anything. But you've heard 36 00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:01.400 callers to this show, Hey, Dan, thanks so much for 37 00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:05.239 saying that, because I did that and then I would 38 00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:06.959 have been killed if I got out in the intersection. 39 00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:08.960 We had one of those calls last week, right, Ryan, 40 00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:12.599 somebody who called and said that. So what I've suggested 41 00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:14.520 on air is talk about it at the dinner table. 42 00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:17.960 Tell your kids, don't go when the light turns green, 43 00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:20.199 somebody may be running that red light. 44 00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:21.479 Look both ways. 45 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:26.400 So our wonderful, amazing daughter, she is at a red 46 00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:31.280 light and the light turns green, and she doesn't go 47 00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:35.639 because we drill it into her at dinner. You know, 48 00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:38.759 don't go when the light turn not every dinner, but 49 00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:42.240 we bring it up and then I tell these stories from. 50 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.479 The show when people call and say it saved him. 51 00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:47.520 So anyway, she calls me up and she, you know, 52 00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:52.639 very composed kid, very sharp, handles situations real well. 53 00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:53.520 She calls me up. 54 00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:59.479 She is extremely upset and she says, I could have 55 00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:01.639 just been kicked old. I said, what happened? She said, 56 00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:06.680 the light turned green, and I waited a long time 57 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:12.639 and I didn't go. And as I started to go, 58 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:18.199 here comes this big semi barreling down Bellevue. 59 00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:22.840 She said, probably sixty or more miles per hour, right 60 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:24.520 through a red light. 61 00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:28.199 So she has a green light and this semi blows 62 00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:32.360 left to right, right through the red light, and it 63 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:34.719 would have absolutely obliterated her. 64 00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.000 It would have killed her instantly. I know. 65 00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:40.479 I do those cases all the time, so I've been 66 00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:43.000 on a mission to try to get to the bottom 67 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:47.319 of this. So the good news is we finally have video. 68 00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:50.960 We got video, so I've got a picture of this 69 00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:54.319 truck in the angle I got the video from You 70 00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:58.800 can see the light that our daughter had, solid green, 71 00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:04.080 solid green, and you can see this semi coming into 72 00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:08.680 that intersection while she has a solid green light. And 73 00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:10.840 I don't care if that was a Volkswagen bug coming 74 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:11.639 into the intersection. 75 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:13.199 It's a lethal weapon at that point. 76 00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:18.800 But this is an enormous eighteen wheeler and it's carrying 77 00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:24.040 all this heavy equipment. That son of that driver, that 78 00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:28.079 driver knew, absolutely new they. 79 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:29.720 May kill somebody, and they did it. 80 00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:33.000 Anyway, when you're driving anything, let alone a semi through 81 00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:35.439 a light a solid red. Because the way this light 82 00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:40.399 sequencing works, for our daughter to have that solid green light, 83 00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:45.480 that trucker, that westbound trucker on Bellvue had to have 84 00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:47.959 a solid red light for a long time. And we're 85 00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:52.160 pulling the exact sequencing of that light so we will 86 00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:55.560 be able to show how long how long that light 87 00:04:55.639 --> 00:05:00.360 was solid red for let alone yellow, solid red, And 88 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.920 I'm going to post I'm going to post the photos 89 00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:08.000 so everybody can see solid green light for our daughter 90 00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:11.040 and this semi blowing right through the intersection. 91 00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:14.920 First practical question is on everybody's mind, including my own. 92 00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:18.079 First of all, thank God, Caroline's okay, and thank god 93 00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:21.079 she feeded your advice, Dan, because I do it too. 94 00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:22.120 I do the same thing. 95 00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:24.040 Reminder of that, like you. 96 00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:26.279 And like some of our colors, I've witnessed the same thing. 97 00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:29.279 Yeah, like you pause, Here comes a car, right, a 98 00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:30.759 clear red light not orange? 99 00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.240 Oh yeah, no, so no in the video. 100 00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:35.959 Yeah, you're way ahead of me on this, I'm sure. 101 00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:39.639 But for the listeners out there, are you able to identify, 102 00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:42.920 zoom in and clarify the license plate on the truck? 103 00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:44.480 Here's here's the challenge. 104 00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:47.160 It is a side angle, which is great in the 105 00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:51.720 sense that it you can see the solid green while 106 00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:54.160 the truck enters. Okay, so you have that angle. That's 107 00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:56.879 going to be very good for law enforcement. But it's 108 00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:59.879 a side angle, so you don't have plates. Now, as 109 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:02.959 you know, it's a semi so it's dot right, so 110 00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:04.839 you're going to have all that on the side right. 111 00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:07.399 The problem is the quality of the video we have. 112 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:11.560 Now I'm sending it to a former FBI analyst and 113 00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:14.399 hopefully they can use their technology to get us a 114 00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:18.279 clear read on that. But in the meantime, I've got 115 00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:20.839 to get people's help to try to identify this trucker. 116 00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:23.360 And my hope is that just wanting to make the 117 00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:27.439 world safer, plus a little financial sweetener will will help 118 00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:30.120 help because somebody, somebody is going to be able to 119 00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:32.600 look at that and say, yeah, I know that truck 120 00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:35.879 because the cargo, the load, Ryan, it was a semi 121 00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:39.240 eighteen wheeler with the full cab and then it has 122 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.439 the flatbed and it's carrying a bunch of heavy equipment 123 00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:44.639 and machinery on the flatbed. So it's going to be 124 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:46.839 the kind of load that somebody out there is going 125 00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:47.800 to be able to recognize. 126 00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:49.800 It's just not another trailer. 127 00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:54.839 I know how doggedly you fight on behalf of your client. 128 00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:58.879 Stand Biden Man, you put Caroline Man in the equation. 129 00:06:59.079 --> 00:06:59.959 Yeah, my good. 130 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:03.480 Whoever you are, I'm going to find you. I mean 131 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:05.800 that it is only a matter of time. Now. 132 00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:10.279 I'm going to find you, and I am going to 133 00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:13.279 work within the system. But I'm going to work within 134 00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:15.759 the system to make sure you can't hurt anybody else 135 00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:19.800 out there. I mean, and that driver is really really lucky, 136 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:24.279 right because that driver right now easily looking at vehicular 137 00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:27.079 homicide charges if she had simply gone when the light 138 00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.839 turn green, right, if she went, when the light turn green, 139 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:30.720 she's dead. 140 00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:33.240 It's that simple. 141 00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:37.199 So a driver like that, a driver like that needs 142 00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:40.399 to be fully prosecuted. Now we got this big gaping 143 00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:43.160 hole in Colorado law when it comes to traffic stuff. 144 00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:46.079 So there's only so much you can do to somebody 145 00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:48.800 like that, correct, But they got to be fully prosecuted. 146 00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:51.600 That company has to be investigated. Maybe it's the one off. 147 00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:54.600 Maybe it's a great company, and you got a one off, 148 00:07:54.959 --> 00:08:00.879 reckless driver who easily could have killed somebody there, could 149 00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.519 have killed you know, and obviously we're talking about our daughter, 150 00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:04.920 most important thing in the world to. 151 00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:07.160 Me, could have killed a family of eight. 152 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:08.920 If it had been a family of eight that it's 153 00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:11.680 simply gone when the light turned green, they are all dead. 154 00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:15.000 Might have George Brockler join you today, Dan, because he 155 00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:18.360 just got a conviction on a somewhat similar case trunk 156 00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:21.120 driving at a gas station at like a seven eleven. 157 00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:24.160 But just one final thing, because I go full detective 158 00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:26.800 mode on stuff like this true crime. You can't see 159 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:29.920 the plate you mentioned dot, You mentioned the green equality 160 00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:33.960 of the video, but aren't there marks on the side 161 00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:36.679 of the truck that should be able to identify it 162 00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:39.200 if you were able to read it like number. 163 00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:40.799 Definitely all of that. 164 00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:43.519 And again that's a clue in and of itself, right 165 00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:46.840 because we can tell this is a late model cap 166 00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:50.399 So we can tell this is a company with resources 167 00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:53.080 and it's got You can tell because you can't. 168 00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:54.480 Read it, but you can see all the lines. 169 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:57.759 So they follow dot, They've got their dot number, They've 170 00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:00.559 got all the other identifiers you can see Ryan by 171 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:04.120 virtue of the type of equipment that they have. Everything else. 172 00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:06.720 This is this is likely, and it's an important clue. 173 00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:12.320 This is likely a larger This is likely a larger operation. 174 00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:14.840 So that helps us right out of the gate. 175 00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:16.480 So I have a question. 176 00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:20.720 Were there other cars around her that actually went no 177 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:21.720 and had a garage? 178 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:25.200 Thank god there weren't. She was she was. I'll ask 179 00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:26.919 her if there's anybody behind her. But she was the 180 00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:29.320 first car and line. Oh wow, she was the first 181 00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:31.440 car and line. But I'll show you, guys, I'll show 182 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:32.039 you guys. 183 00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:34.919 The picture during the break.

You're on the Dankaplas Show. 238 00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:16.360 Welcome, Hey, Dan, how you doing. 239 00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:17.519 I'm glad your daughter's. 240 00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:20.159 Yeah, thank you. Oh man, I'm still shaking. 241 00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:20.320 Oh. 242 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:22.399 A big question for me is if you've already done 243 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:23.279 a police report? 244 00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:26.399 No, no, are you going to do one? 245 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:26.600 Well? 246 00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:29.360 Yeah, as soon as I can identify as I've got 247 00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:31.759 a former FBI guy trying to use some of their 248 00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:35.720 technology to get to be able to read the side, 249 00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:38.240 read the dot, read everything else on the side. 250 00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:40.759 Because the video we have is low quality. 251 00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:45.440 Yeah, it doesn't matter on you know what. I've been 252 00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:46.799 in law enforcement about. 253 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:48.559 The same amount of time as your dad has, wow 254 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:49.600 and or had. 255 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:53.720 But to get it to local law enforcement and get 256 00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:56.240 it out to crime stoppers. And when you have a 257 00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:58.679 route like that on Bellevue, even if it's going from 258 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:01.159 east to west, it's going to have other cameras in 259 00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:03.840 the area that are going to be more functional, more clear, 260 00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:07.279 maybe be able to enhance them a little bit. And 261 00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:09.399 even if you get it to law enforcement, there are 262 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:13.799 different Like you said, your FBI buddy can throw it 263 00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:18.960 out there, and there's difference church engines that can clear 264 00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:19.840 up those numbers. 265 00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:20.360 Awesome. 266 00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:23.240 So just I think it's important that you get into 267 00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:27.600 law enforcement first. You don't want to have digital anti 268 00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:30.120 out there. All your fans love what you do. 269 00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:31.320 And what you do for. 270 00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:35.360 People, and our Catholics in the community. I think it's 271 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:38.200 just a good idea to start first because they can 272 00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:42.080 probably do just as much as anybody else. And once 273 00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:45.559 it gets out there on crime stoppers, that's crime solved 274 00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:46.120 all the time. 275 00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:47.720 That is a great suggestion. 276 00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:51.600 Mark, sure appreciate that, man, Thank you, Sure do appreciate 277 00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:53.080 that you too, Thank. 278 00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:53.559 You, my friend. 279 00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:57.080 And and like most people, we're fortunate to have very 280 00:13:57.159 --> 00:14:01.200 very good law enforcement in our city, so Texter says Dan. 281 00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:03.679 If this was in a Repo County or Terry Hills, 282 00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:06.200 if you know any officers, they have a tool called 283 00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:09.240 force metrics that they might be able to look at 284 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:13.519 different phrases, quote semi running red light to find it. Also, 285 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:18.039 flocked safety has license plate readers and those police agencies 286 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.240 might have flock LPRs at various places close to that intersection. 287 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:27.399 That from Alexa, Thank you Alexa. That is great to hear. Dan, 288 00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:29.519 truck or pee here. I've been in the industry almost 289 00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:31.440 thirty years, and I've seen the quality of truck drivers 290 00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:32.159 go way downhill. 291 00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:33.399 I believe it's due to a lot of. 292 00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.320 Unqualified and illegal drivers being hired by desperate trucking companies. 293 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:39.679 I operate my rig is if every other car on 294 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:41.399 the road had one of my family members in it. 295 00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:43.720 See that's why I say that you got a lot 296 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:45.879 of hero truckers out there, right, the people who do 297 00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:48.679 it right, because that's a hard job, and the people 298 00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:49.919 who do it right are heroes. 299 00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:52.360 And the ones who don't. We talk about this all 300 00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:54.000 the time, you are in more danger. 301 00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:56.440 We were just talking about that two days ago, right, Ryan, 302 00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:59.399 that everybody listening to this show, you and your family 303 00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:02.840 members are probably in more danger from reckless truckers than 304 00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:05.919 anything else in your life right now. And the great 305 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:11.759 ones heroes, the reckless ones menace to society. Dan, get 306 00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:13.639 a dash can for all your cars. I've been saying 307 00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:16.080 that forever. I know for mine, I was trying to 308 00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:19.000 get one through the dealer because just knowing me, if 309 00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:20.879 I do it after market, the whole damn thing's going 310 00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:24.039 to blow up. Right, So now you are a thousand 311 00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:26.919 percent right. We've talked about that as a family see, 312 00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:30.200 we got lucky here because when you see this photo, 313 00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:32.840 and I do I appreciate the good advice of our 314 00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:39.720 caller that, yeah, I didn't realize. I knew my former 315 00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:42.759 FBI guy might be able to access some technology to 316 00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:45.639 read it. I didn't realize law enforcement might be willing 317 00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:48.679 to take this on. My assumption was since we didn't 318 00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:50.240 have an actual fatal wreck, etc. 319 00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:51.639 But if law. 320 00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:53.799 Enforcement can crack the code, or I can get this 321 00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:56.679 through a former FBI guy, you know, we'll do it 322 00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:57.159 that way. 323 00:15:57.279 --> 00:15:59.480 Are we dealing with Greenwood Village police? In this case, 324 00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:01.799 it'd be Cherry Hills? 325 00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:05.559 Okay? Yeah, it was on the Cherry Hills side of Bellevue. Okay. 326 00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:08.799 So another question is, because there's a chance you never 327 00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:10.879 know that one of our listeners might have been near 328 00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:11.919 that intersection at that time. 329 00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:13.240 What day and time did it take place? 330 00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:16.159 You never know? You never know. It was a week ago. 331 00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:19.639 We just got the video, so yeah, it was a 332 00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:22.879 week ago today, and I'll get the exact date and everything. 333 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:24.559 I want to make sure I don't mix that up. 334 00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:27.240 But we've got the precise time because we've got the 335 00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:30.960 precise time off the video time code, so we know 336 00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:33.879 the precise time. But yeah, no, that's a good suggestion, Ryan, 337 00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:37.159 because this is this is not. 338 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:38.159 Your typical semi. 339 00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:41.879 Not your typ It is a full sized beast of 340 00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:44.799 a semi, but it's a flat bed loaded up with 341 00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:48.120 different kind of equipment materials, so it would be more 342 00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:50.879 recognizable and more memorable texture. 343 00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:53.960 Hey, down, we just had a caller he could not 344 00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:57.399 stay on. But he's also a trucker and he says 345 00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:00.240 that if you know the color of the equipment, you know, 346 00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:04.480 you will be able to basically know the trucking company 347 00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:10.880 because everybody's equipment is different, whether it's Sunstay or United 348 00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:12.720 Rentals or all of that. 349 00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:15.440 If you have a picture of the wed the collar, 350 00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:18.160 we've got that. It's a red cab. We've got the color. 351 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:20.279 And to the previous callers point, that has been a 352 00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:20.960 trucker too. 353 00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:22.640 I bet if he sees. 354 00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:24.440 It or some of his associates see it, they'll be 355 00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:25.359 able to pinpoint it. 356 00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:25.759 Yeah. 357 00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:28.240 And then the question is, you know, if it's an associate, 358 00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:30.400 are they going to be willing to come forward? Right, 359 00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:33.119 because that's not going to make you very popular with 360 00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:36.160 your own company. Yeah, but that's why we want to 361 00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:41.480 add some kind of tangible reward here, so thank you, 362 00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:44.039 we will. I think I'm going to take that caller suggestion. 363 00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:47.359 I should know by tomorrow if my former FBI guy, 364 00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:48.960 because we work with a lot of those guys in 365 00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:52.079 the law practice, you know, on gals as well, and 366 00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:55.160 they've got all that great expertise and access to resources, 367 00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:56.960 and if they can't crack the code on this, then 368 00:17:57.000 --> 00:18:01.119 we'll take the next step with with law enforcement. But 369 00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:03.720 one way to the other, I will find this guy. 370 00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:05.119 I will report to you. 371 00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:08.359 I won't do anything outside the bounds of the law, 372 00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:10.640 but I don't do everything evenly possible within the law, 373 00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:13.720 not out of vengeance, but to protect the public. And 374 00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:17.359 the simple reality is if our daughter, most precious thing 375 00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:19.240 in the world, right to everybody is their children, if 376 00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:21.200 she had gone when the light turned green, she wouldn't 377 00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:21.559 be here. 378 00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:32.799 You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. 379 00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:37.160 Want you think Vladimir Putin wants peace?

I 383 00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:48.559 think because of me, he's not going to do that. 384 00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:50.279 Do you trust him? 385 00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:52.359 I think? Do you trust him.

I think that here. 396 00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:19.559 Let's say he respects me, and I believe because of me, 397 00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:24.200 he's not going to take over the whole. But his decision, 398 00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:27.160 his choice would be to take over all of Ukraine. 399 00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:29.440 Ok, it's the war that never should have happened. 400 00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:32.319 See this is so beautiful, right, and it really helps 401 00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:35.079
