Speaker 1: This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast
Speaker 1: edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
Speaker 1: give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
Speaker 1: and to subscribe, download and listen to the show every
Speaker 1: single day on your favorite podcast platform. What a profound
Speaker 1: moment to be alive. I mean, just think about it.
Speaker 1: Is what is about to happen on the world stage
Speaker 1: going to reshape, fundamentally transform the future for your children,
Speaker 1: your grandchildren. I believe that it is, and I believe
Speaker 1: there's about to be a much, much brighter future for
Speaker 1: so many people in the world, including so many Americans,
Speaker 1: and has nothing to do with our election. I haven't
Speaker 1: even gotten there yet. And that's fundamentally transformative. What I'm
Speaker 1: talking about is what's going on right now in the
Speaker 1: Mid East and today. I don't know if you've got
Speaker 1: a chance to see those images, but those images of
Speaker 1: hundreds of missiles, These are ballistic missiles raining down on Israel,
Speaker 1: launched intending to kill and destroy, launched by one of
Speaker 1: the most evil regimes in the world, one of the
Speaker 1: most evil regimes in the history of the world. And
Speaker 1: Israel sitting there and taking this pummeling. Now, nobody killed
Speaker 1: at this point, but that's due to the ingenuity and
Speaker 1: organization and brilliance of the Israeli government and the toughness
Speaker 1: of the people of Israel. But the evil, deadly intent
Speaker 1: of the enemy is unmistakable. And all I'm suggesting is
Speaker 1: that we take a step back and look at this
Speaker 1: big picture for a second, because it's so easy to
Speaker 1: get caught up in the fine details, right, No, it
Speaker 1: is so often those big currents, those big forces that
Speaker 1: dictate what's going to happen. And that's what I've been saying.
Speaker 1: In the American presidential race. Wait a second, it's a
Speaker 1: lot of wailing and of teeth over the media is rigged,
Speaker 1: and Harris has four times more money and everything else,
Speaker 1: and that's all worth thinking about. But you look at
Speaker 1: our presidential race, look at the big picture. America is
Speaker 1: not going to elect a San Francisco radical, a person
Speaker 1: who is so obviously flawed as a presidential candidate that
Speaker 1: she couldn't even get to the Democratic primary in Iowa
Speaker 1: is not going to be elected president. So we look
Speaker 1: at the big picture. Now, we look at the big
Speaker 1: picture when it comes to Israel. Anybody who doubts that
Speaker 1: what I said yesterday is true? Who doubts that after
Speaker 1: today maybe needs to change their drinking habits, Because is
Speaker 1: there any sane person who thinks that Israel as a government,
Speaker 1: as a people is going to sit back after watching
Speaker 1: those hundreds of ballistic missiles fall on their country at
Speaker 1: night today and say, oh yeah, yeah, Now let's wait
Speaker 1: for the next round, the nuclear round. Yeah, let's wait
Speaker 1: until those missiles have nuclear tips. No, it ain't gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Israel's going in. Israel's going in, and they're going to
Speaker 1: take out those nukes as they should. And it's too
Speaker 1: bad they don't have help from Biden. But they're going
Speaker 1: to go in and take out those nukes. So whether
Speaker 1: it be this week, next week, six months from now, whenever,
Speaker 1: it's going to be the brilliance right now, Huff of
Speaker 1: the Israeli military net and Yahoo should not be questioned. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there was a mega failure on October seventh, right, but
Speaker 1: look at everything that's happened since then. No, they're going
Speaker 1: to go in, they're going to take out those nukes,
Speaker 1: and it is going to be such a better world
Speaker 1: for it. The great people of Israel having the existence
Speaker 1: and the security and the opportunity to further prosper that
Speaker 1: they deserve. The people of America, who the Biden administration,
Speaker 1: the Democrats will not protect from this evil force, but
Speaker 1: Israel will protect us, and our tremendous military would if
Speaker 1: Biden would let them, but he won't let them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're all going to be better off. But think about
Speaker 1: all the people in the Middle East who will be freed,
Speaker 1: that the people of Iran who will be freed from
Speaker 1: their captors, which is the regime that they're hostages of
Speaker 1: that regime. So I think there are tremendous things coming
Speaker 1: for the world because of what Israel is doing and
Speaker 1: is about to do. I also think there are tremendous
Speaker 1: things coming for this country in the world because of
Speaker 1: the impending Trump victory. And it's not guaranteed. Nothing is.
Speaker 1: He could still lose, but he'd have to give it away.
Speaker 1: But assuming Trump wins, I think there are much much
Speaker 1: brighter days ahead for the US and by extension, the world.
Speaker 1: And think about heading into this debate tonight. My goodness,
Speaker 1: you know JD. Vance was in great position to begin with.
Speaker 1: Now you have this horror today in Israel, and there's
Speaker 1: nothing Walts can say in return. There's nothing the most
Speaker 1: skilled debate or the Democrats have ever had could say
Speaker 1: in return when Wall stands up there and says, this
Speaker 1: didn't happen when Trump was president, because it's true, and
Speaker 1: everybody knows it's true. Everybody lived it. It was peace
Speaker 1: through strength. The opposite is happening now. The world on
Speaker 1: fire because of the weakness of Biden and Harris, and
Speaker 1: it's just going to get worse with Harris just going
Speaker 1: to get worse with her. I don't think any honest
Speaker 1: person doubts that. Okay, hard turn right now because I
Speaker 1: kept a caller over from the last hour and want
Speaker 1: to keep my promise. We've got this really important local
Speaker 1: topic going Colorado pedestrian fidelities. Fatalities increase one hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty one percent over the last ten years. This a
Speaker 1: Lauren Pennington piece in the Denver Post. My question to
Speaker 1: you is why and how do we fix it? I
Speaker 1: have my answer, Russ, what's yours? Thank you for hanging
Speaker 1: on the Dan Kapla show.
Speaker 2: Just h and by the way, our invisible president said
Speaker 2: that Israel should stop.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, taking his advice. Yeah, just go to the beach, right,
Speaker 1: That's that's Biden's solution for everything. And Harris is go
Speaker 1: out to la party with the rich people. You know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's her solution.
Speaker 2: Has anyone seen my orcas in the last three months anyway,
Speaker 2: Let's go to our local issue. Yes, I don't disagree
Speaker 2: with you necessarily, but the one thing that I think
Speaker 2: we need to add to the consideration is technology has
Speaker 2: so many people distracted driving day on that I think
Speaker 2: that a good number of those increases in that percentage
Speaker 2: probably have a lot to do with people having their
Speaker 2: head in their lap instead of on the road. But
Speaker 2: that being said, I like I open with the other
Speaker 2: issue is definitely it's a factor.
Speaker 3: No doubt.
Speaker 2: I would like to see those numbers actually for get
Speaker 2: and run incidents in that increased statistic and see what
Speaker 2: that percentage is, because in my mind, there's no doubt
Speaker 2: that a huge percentage of the hit and runs are intoxicated.
Speaker 1: Oh come on, thank you for that great point, Russ,
Speaker 1: As I've been saying for years on there and listen,
Speaker 1: this is my real job, right, This is what I
Speaker 1: do around the clock, seven days a week. Often is
Speaker 1: I deal with death and catastrophic injury. Representing the victims
Speaker 1: of that often from mvas, from motor vehicle crashes, so
Speaker 1: many of them of them rather are pedestrians or the
Speaker 1: survivors of pedestrians who've been killed. So I live this
Speaker 1: each and every day, and Russ is right. There's no
Speaker 1: one explanation for why it's up one hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: one percent, but there's an overarching cause, and an overarching
Speaker 1: cause that extends to many other forms of harm as well.
Speaker 1: Think about what happened ten years ago. Come on again,
Speaker 1: big picture. Ten years ago was legalization of marijuana. It
Speaker 1: makes absolute common sense that if all of the sudden
Speaker 1: you're going to green light the use of marijuana in
Speaker 1: Colorado and it's going to infuse the population, then what's
Speaker 1: going to happen. You're going to have more people killed
Speaker 1: on the road, including more pedestrians. So I don't think
Speaker 1: there's any question that's been a factor. And I think
Speaker 1: only a fraction of the deaths and injury caused by
Speaker 1: marijuana use are actually eventually prosecuted. And that's not the
Speaker 1: police fault. That's the system's fault, in the left's fault.
Speaker 1: But yeah, he's right. Rus is right, and I see
Speaker 1: it every day in my practice. It's when I talk
Speaker 1: to a jury about it, I describe it accurately as
Speaker 1: driving blindfolded. And that's what happens. When people are staring
Speaker 1: at their electronics and not at the road, they are
Speaker 1: essentially iving blindfolded. There's no difference. Sure, that is part
Speaker 1: of it, too, We've got another big part of it,
Speaker 1: And so much of this is traceable to the Left.
Speaker 1: Certainly the legalization of marijuana is, but also undermining law enforcement.
Speaker 1: The left is undermined law enforcement, so you have less enforcement,
Speaker 1: so you have more thunder dome on the roadways. And
Speaker 1: then when you come to hit and runs, absolutely, yeah,
Speaker 1: the vast majority, if not all, of the hit and
Speaker 1: runs right are people who are under the influence. They
Speaker 1: are intoxicated, whether by drugs or alcohol, impaired by drugs
Speaker 1: or alcohol. All I'm saying is this, we have a
Speaker 1: true crisis, and we have a massacre, a massacre going
Speaker 1: on on the roadways. I haven't even gotten to the
Speaker 1: paralyzed people yet, the people losing limbs, the people crippled
Speaker 1: for life. We have a friggin massacre going on on
Speaker 1: our roadways. And it's not getting a fraction of the
Speaker 1: attention it deserves, you would think any sane society but
Speaker 1: would at this point make it an absolute top priority.
Speaker 1: Stop the maiming, stop the killing. So many children killed
Speaker 1: and maimed. Stop all that to the extent we can.
Speaker 1: You can't wipe it all out. But there's so much
Speaker 1: more we can do. But the Left gets in the
Speaker 1: way of so much of that. It just needs, it
Speaker 1: needs exponentially more focus for all of the devastation it's
Speaker 1: inflicting on Colorado. You're on the dankaplas.
Speaker 4: Show and now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast
Speaker 4: Blata mccasco MSNBC.
Speaker 5: I'm just a little worried about the expectations game at
Speaker 5: this point. I think people, Yes, Jadie Vance has said
Speaker 5: some really I think disqualifying things about women and how
Speaker 5: he views people and their role in life, like what.
Speaker 5: But he will be articulate and he will be prepared,
Speaker 5: and he will be better than Trump was. And I
Speaker 5: think it's it's really going to be a challenge for
Speaker 5: Tim Waller.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and obviously the left turn to lower expectations for
Speaker 1: Walls and listen, Walls has done it himself, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: as Scott Jennings on CNN set. He comes across as
Speaker 1: a buffoon, so expectations are low for him. He will
Speaker 1: exceed those expectations tonight. He will act like the quote
Speaker 1: moderate Democrat congressmen that he pretended to be for so long,
Speaker 1: and so he'll be better than expectations. But Vance is
Speaker 1: very good. Vance has the truth on his side. Walls
Speaker 1: is living a political lie, so I expect Vance to
Speaker 1: have a clear win tonight. Not trying to lower expectations
Speaker 1: on Vance's side, Fox just put this up from his
Speaker 1: debate prep team. Vance is quote prepared to wipe the
Speaker 1: floor with Walls, so they're not trying to lower expectations there.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the phone, Lenzer and Fuego,
Speaker 1: if you just joined us, thank you for that. And
Speaker 1: we've were covering obviously starting with the horrific attack on
Speaker 1: Israel today and where that's now headed to the big
Speaker 1: debate tonight. Also locally, a couple of big stories. One
Speaker 1: is Denver post port that a well done story that
Speaker 1: pedestrian deaths up one hundred and sixty one ten years
Speaker 1: oh coincidentally legalization of marijuana back then, And the last
Speaker 1: lesbian bar in Denver is closing I was just shocked
Speaker 1: to hear it's down to one lesbian bar. And why
Speaker 1: is that? Why is it down to one lesbian bar.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Carol in beautiful Denver, Colorado. You're on
Speaker 1: the Dan Caplis.
Speaker 6: You'll welcome.
Speaker 1: Hi, Carol, my Dan.
Speaker 7: Hey, I want to get your opinion. I'm sure you've
Speaker 7: heard recently that George Soros has bought up over two
Speaker 7: hundred radio stations in our country. Yeah, that's one of
Speaker 7: the ways, other than through you know, Fox News, that
Speaker 7: we conservatives get true information since we're you know, we're
Speaker 7: up against the phony mainstream media. Are you concerned at
Speaker 7: all about the fact that he just buying these radio
Speaker 7: stations up and preventing us possibly from yes, yes, that
Speaker 7: we need.
Speaker 1: I'm very concerned Carol and the administration, Buiden administration rushing
Speaker 1: it through. I'm very concern And it ties into what
Speaker 1: I've been talking about for a long time on the show. Listen,
Speaker 1: that the left is as smart as it is evil
Speaker 1: at times. Right, and so the left understands it cannot
Speaker 1: win the debate. It can't win on facts, it can't
Speaker 1: win on logic, it can't win on morality. So the
Speaker 1: left is about censorship now, and you're not allowed to
Speaker 1: put people on your show if the left doesn't like
Speaker 1: what they have to say. You know, it's all about censorship.
Speaker 1: And the ultimate censorship is buying up these radio stations
Speaker 1: and throwing the conservatives off. And my concern is you've
Speaker 1: got so much money on the left that Okay, they're
Speaker 1: buying up these two hundred stations and that will cause
Speaker 1: real harm. But what's to prevent the left from then
Speaker 1: buying up a lot more stations and just siling see
Speaker 1: this voice of troops?
Speaker 7: I mean, can they be stopped? I mean, do these
Speaker 7: owners of these radio stations just have to say yes?
Speaker 7: Can they just say absolutely not? It's not for sale?
Speaker 1: I mean, well, what's not for sale? In the business world,
Speaker 1: what's not for sale?
Speaker 7: I mean when they know it's.
Speaker 6: Related.
Speaker 1: Hey, listen, if you're a publicly traded company, let's start
Speaker 1: with that example. Okay, if you're a publicly traded company
Speaker 1: and you have that obligation to your shareholders and somebody
Speaker 1: comes in and offers just a crazy amount of money
Speaker 1: for your company because they have these political motivations and
Speaker 1: the left, they can put together as much money as
Speaker 1: they want to for whatever they want to, right, and
Speaker 1: you got this obligation of the shareholders, you're probably going
Speaker 1: to sell.
Speaker 7: So there's no bylaws or anything written into these companies
Speaker 7: that say no under these circumstances.
Speaker 1: Carol, great questions. Not that I know of it, And
Speaker 1: what I'm not sure of because I haven't researched it
Speaker 1: and it's not my type of law, but I'm not
Speaker 1: familiar with anything. Is whether the government, and obviously this
Speaker 1: administration loves seeing this happen. They're rushing it. But I
Speaker 1: don't know that the government would have any basis to
Speaker 1: stop those sales based on political point of view, just
Speaker 1: as let's say a conservative trillionaire came in and maybe
Speaker 1: Elon Musk before too long came in and decided they
Speaker 1: wanted to buy up every radio station to promote conservative thought,
Speaker 1: and they were going to buy up and there aren't
Speaker 1: a bunch of lefty stations because there's no market for it.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 1: Almost almost everywhere they try it, it fails. But a
Speaker 1: guy like Soros and whatever consortium, if any is behind this,
Speaker 1: they don't care if nobody ever listens to these stations,
Speaker 1: would be my guess.
Speaker 7: Right, Okay, Well, thank you, great question.
Speaker 1: Hey, I wish I could offer better news. Right, I'm
Speaker 1: a positive guy, but above all, I'm a truth seeker
Speaker 1: and a truth teller and uh and that's that's where
Speaker 1: I think we're at right now. And then the free
Speaker 1: market's gonna have to take advantage right that. Then you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to the Ryan Shulings of the world step
Speaker 1: in and create and buy and do everything else a
Speaker 1: bunch of stations to keep conservative voices out there.
Speaker 4: I'll do what I can. Then, Thank you, Keith.
Speaker 1: You're on the Dane Kaplis Show.
Speaker 9: Welcome, hey, Dan, to your to your comment about the
Speaker 9: driving uh deaths and all that increasing some of the
Speaker 9: uh legalization of pop. You know, I hear this from
Speaker 9: a lot of people that I know, this idiotic perception that, uh,
Speaker 9: that marijuana is so much safer than alcohol. Well I don't.
Speaker 9: I don't see anybody drinking and driving. But I drive
Speaker 9: down the road every day almost oh yeah, and I'm
Speaker 9: behind to behind, next to in front of somebody smoking
Speaker 9: marijuana in their car and reprehensive.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 4: Amen.
Speaker 1: And then you see the window come down, you see
Speaker 1: that smoke come out, right, and listen, drunk driving is
Speaker 1: insidious and it's destructive and it's a major killer. But
Speaker 1: when is the last time you saw somebody drinking behind
Speaker 1: the wheel. To your point, now, we have way, way, way, way,
Speaker 1: way too much drunk driving. It just happens before they
Speaker 1: get behind the wheel. But for all these these people
Speaker 1: you see smoking marijuana behind the wheel, how many more
Speaker 1: are smoking marijuana before they get behind the wheel, or
Speaker 1: eating marijuana in the car, or eating marijuana before they
Speaker 1: get behind the wheel. It's it's a.
Speaker 6: Killer, exactly.
Speaker 9: And there's and there's no enforcement. I don't see any
Speaker 9: enforcement of it.
Speaker 6: I see people.
Speaker 9: I don't see people walking around in the park with
Speaker 9: drinks in their hands, but I do see people walking
Speaker 9: around the park smoking pop right, which don't people outside
Speaker 9: on the street doing it? But which is You're right,
Speaker 9: it's insidious and I'm sick and tired of basically it
Speaker 9: never being enforced.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, said Keith. And that comes down to the left. Right,
Speaker 1: don't blame law enforcement. It's the left undermining law enforcement.
Speaker 1: Of course.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: Page one of the left's political agenda is legal drugs.
Speaker 4: You know, get.
Speaker 1: Everybody hooked, because the more drugged up a population is,
Speaker 1: the more dependent on government.
Speaker 6: It is.
Speaker 1: That's why they do all that? Eight five five for
Speaker 1: zero five A two five five text d A N
Speaker 1: five seven, seventh through nine. When we come back, let's
Speaker 1: talk about the debate. Am I the only one interested?
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna talk about it.
Speaker 4: You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 10: I'll tell you what that ad they was running during
Speaker 10: the football game this weekend claiming the vice president supports
Speaker 10: funding gender transition surgeries for all president mats and migrants
Speaker 10: in the US.
Speaker 4: That was nuts. I don't know if it wouldn't say nuts,
Speaker 4: but that was crazy.
Speaker 3: That was funny.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 10: I don't know if it was the backdrop of football.
Speaker 10: But when you hit the narrator say Kamala support a
Speaker 10: taxpayer funded sex changes for prisoners, that one line, I
Speaker 10: was like, hell no, I don't want my taxpayer dollars
Speaker 10: going to that.
Speaker 4: Definitely say that he did that.
Speaker 1: App Yeah, and that's that's on Charlemagne's show. So wow,
Speaker 1: that is impacting And I hope they run it over
Speaker 1: and over again, just saturate the Swing States. We we
Speaker 1: never see it here, right unless it makes it into
Speaker 1: like a football game some national broadcast, but Swing States. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I hope they're pummeling them with that, because, as I've
Speaker 1: been saying forever, right, that's the kind of thing that
Speaker 1: can cut through the noise. That's the kind of thing
Speaker 1: that can cross the usual party lines and leaners. And
Speaker 1: how about this this new Trump ad. I want to
Speaker 1: play it for you before you go back to the
Speaker 1: phone lines and text, and it's really well done visually,
Speaker 1: and you picture it's sort of like out of one
Speaker 1: of the Naked Gun movies. They start in one room
Speaker 1: and they show you a scene of Communist Party of
Speaker 1: China military officials looking at a screen with Biden and
Speaker 1: Harris on it. Then they go to another room and
Speaker 1: you get that appears to be depicting hamas terrorist. Then
Speaker 1: you go to another room other bad guys. They're all
Speaker 1: watching these TV screens with Kamala Harris up there.
Speaker 8: Like us, China also saw their weakness, so did putely
Speaker 8: that he invaded Ukraine. Hama saw Harris anti Israel statements
Speaker 8: and we'll use it as a green light to keep
Speaker 8: murdering Israelis. And Iran thinks Harris is so incompetent.
Speaker 3: New Intel shows they're trying to help Harris win the election.
Speaker 3: America doesn't need another TikTok performer. We need the strength
Speaker 3: that will protect us.
Speaker 6: I'n J.
Speaker 4: Trump and I improve this message.
Speaker 1: Wow, it is so powerful and in part because it's restrained,
Speaker 1: but the biggest impact is it's just obviously true.
Speaker 11: Right.
Speaker 1: So yeah again Trump, We've been talking about it. As
Speaker 1: we go back to the phone lines. Trump has historically
Speaker 1: been a great closer, and he goes into this stretcher
Speaker 1: run in a much stronger position than his first two races.
Speaker 1: So it's his to win. Right now, Let's go to eerie.
Speaker 1: Mike kind enough to call us again. You're on the
Speaker 1: Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 6: Welcome Mike, Thank you, Dan. Hey, I just I just
Speaker 6: have to push back a little bit. And you mentioned
Speaker 6: that jd Vance has the truth.
Speaker 7: On his side.
Speaker 6: Yes, I mean the guy is a blatant liar and
Speaker 6: he even admitted to making up inventing the story. That's
Speaker 6: a lie in Springfield the dog total lie.
Speaker 1: Mike, Why would you lie to us? We like you,
Speaker 1: We enjoyed disagreeing, but don't disrespect us by lying, especially
Speaker 1: not lying about someone else lying.
Speaker 6: I'm not lying, okay, Mike.
Speaker 1: Hey, here's the deal. Are you a meat eater. Okay,

Speaker 1: you cannot produce documentation to back up your claim that
Speaker 1: jd Vance has admitted to lying about They're eating the dogs,
Speaker 1: they're eating the cats, they're eating the pets in Springfield.
Speaker 6: I don't know that I can give you a document
Speaker 6: I can tell you. During an interview where he was
Speaker 6: trying to defend his position, he said, I don't care
Speaker 6: if I have to make up or invent a story
Speaker 6: to get.
Speaker 1: You can listen to my friend. If you're right and
Speaker 1: you're wrong. If you're right, then there's going to be
Speaker 1: some story out there, and you can bring me a video.
Speaker 1: I am winning so many stakes these days. I'm getting
Speaker 1: tired of winning. Still, you can bring me a video
Speaker 1: anything you want to do. Bring me the proof, because
Speaker 1: it does not exist.
Speaker 6: It absolutely does.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well then then it's going to be easy. Then
Speaker 1: you are about to get my friend. Do you know
Speaker 1: the price of a Tomahawk? I can't buy my own time.
Speaker 1: I mean I could, but I would feel too guilty. Yeah,
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty bucks for Tomawk's steak. Michael, You're
Speaker 1: about to be one hundred and eighty bucks Richer. If
Speaker 1: you can bring me that proof that does not exist.
Speaker 6: I'll text you the YouTube video.
Speaker 1: Okay, wonderful, wonderful, my friend will appreciate the call. Eight
Speaker 1: five five for zero five A two F if I
Speaker 1: five the number. Let's go to a gym in Wellington.
Speaker 1: You're on the Dan kaplish'll welcome. We'll get to our
Speaker 1: great text.
Speaker 12: Heres, Hey Dan talking about traffic and accidents and stuff
Speaker 12: in Colorado. I would just like to plead with your
Speaker 12: listeners to just slow down, take some time. You do
Speaker 12: not need to get to where you're going in record
Speaker 12: amount of time. Three years ago, in August, I was
Speaker 12: traveling on Highway fourteen toward alt at seven forty five
Speaker 12: in the morning and sixty five miles an hour. My
Speaker 12: cruise control set and just really quick I looked to
Speaker 12: the right. I saw some cars slowing down coming from
Speaker 12: a county road and I was concentrating on oncoming traffic
Speaker 12: because there was a car in semi making sure they
Speaker 12: weren't going to turn in front of me. And this
Speaker 12: person slowed down, but Ryan the stop sign tried to
Speaker 12: shoot the gap. I on them at sixty five miles
Speaker 12: an hour, and it was a small suv and it's
Speaker 12: devastating because at the last second everything turned to black
Speaker 12: and white. I was going in between the doors and
Speaker 12: I will never forget this. I was there was tinted windows,
Speaker 12: and I was hoping and praying there was not a
Speaker 12: car seat in the back door. And my second thought was,
Speaker 12: I'm glad I just paid my life insurance because I
Speaker 12: paid yearly at a time. And as I saw my
Speaker 12: hood start to crinkle, the airbag went off. So people
Speaker 12: just need to slow down, be cognizant, and take their time.
Speaker 12: And I would like to thank your firm for representing me.
Speaker 12: That's unpaid spokesman.
Speaker 1: Thank you. I did not realize during that call. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but thank you for telling your story.
Speaker 12: Because things things happened so fast, you just don't realize it,
Speaker 12: and you've got to just take your time. It's not
Speaker 12: worth dying. It was several hours and I'm in the hospital.
Speaker 12: The other person went to the same hospital. It was
Speaker 12: several hours before I found out if that person survived
Speaker 12: or not. Because I hit that car so hard it spun,
Speaker 12: it went off to the side, hit a telephone pole
Speaker 12: and a telephone box, and no doctors or anything would
Speaker 12: tell me. The actual police officer was the one that
Speaker 12: told me that the person survived and was in terrible
Speaker 12: condition because it took them forty five minutes to cut
Speaker 12: that person out of their car. And of course I
Speaker 12: had major injuries too, But people just calm down, slow down,
Speaker 12: take your time. It's not worth dying.
Speaker 1: And man beautifully said thank you for that. Jim, thank you,
Speaker 1: and thank you for the kind words. Whow I you
Speaker 1: know there's so much power and value in Jim's story
Speaker 1: because I can tell you as a guy who's been
Speaker 1: doing this for forty years having the privilege of representing
Speaker 1: folks like Jim. One of the things that goes I
Speaker 1: think unrecognized is among the many different harms to people
Speaker 1: who get seriously injured in these bad crashes, like Jim,
Speaker 1: is the emotional toll of seeing what has then happened
Speaker 1: to the person who caused the crash. Because we're all human, right,
Speaker 1: and okay, that person just made a terrible mistake and
Speaker 1: causing the crash and injuring this innocent person. But then
Speaker 1: the innocent person is often emotionally traumatized by what happens
Speaker 1: to the person who's at fault. I mean, there are
Speaker 1: so many layers of harm caused by this madness on
Speaker 1: the roads. And I'm just telling you, as a society,
Speaker 1: it is suicidal insanity that we haven't made this a
Speaker 1: top five alarm fire priority to try to dramatically cut
Speaker 1: down on this carnage on the roadway. Because you think
Speaker 1: about your own life right now, what do you care
Speaker 1: about most in life? What do you absolutely live and
Speaker 1: breathe for. It's going to be your children, It's going
Speaker 1: to be your wife, it's going to be your husband.
Speaker 1: I mean, that is your life. That's what you work for,
Speaker 1: that's what you live for. And you you don't walk
Speaker 1: around paralyzed by fear, But that's if you have one
Speaker 1: dominant fear. It's that something happens to them. And the
Speaker 1: danger they are in on Colorado roadways right now is,
Speaker 1: by far, unless they're serving in the military and a
Speaker 1: combat zone, it is by far the gravest danger they
Speaker 1: will face any time. And that danger just keeps going
Speaker 1: up and up and up. And as a society, we're
Speaker 1: not pushing back, We're not waging war on carnage on
Speaker 1: our roadways. We're letting these drugged up, drunk screen addicts,
Speaker 1: all of these these reckless people, just destroy lives, take
Speaker 1: children away from parents, fathers away from children. We're just
Speaker 1: letting this happen and the number get worse and worse
Speaker 1: and worse, and we just sit back and say, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's just life, right, that's just no. There's no acceptable
Speaker 1: casualty rate. And a lot of this garbage can be
Speaker 1: traced to the left, but not all of it. We
Speaker 1: just got to do better. This is insane eight five
Speaker 1: five for zero five eight two five five. But this
Speaker 1: stat coming out today, great job by the post. Pedestrian
Speaker 1: deaths up one hundred and sixty one percent in ten years.
Speaker 1: Guess what happened ten years ago. Legalization of marijuana. That's
Speaker 1: not the only cause, but it is a significant cause.
Speaker 1: Eighty five for zero five A two five five text
Speaker 1: DA N five seven seven thirty nine. When we come back,
Speaker 1: I don't care if everybody turns off the radio. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about this debate tonight. I am stunned at how
Speaker 1: few people are interested, but I'm very interested. So I'm
Speaker 1: going to come back, give you my prediction, hope somebody's
Speaker 1: here to listen to it, and then I want to
Speaker 1: hear from you. You're on the DAN Kaplas Show.
Speaker 4: And now back to the Dan Kaplss Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Wo usn't scared of Kamala Harris. I wonder what is
Speaker 1: your message to Hesbola and its backer Iran.
Speaker 8: Don't don't, don't, don't, don't.
Speaker 4: Come across the border, don't escalate this war. That's right.
Speaker 2: What's the message to Iran don't?
Speaker 12: As President Biden said, just don't.
Speaker 2: Exactly one word, pretty straightforward.
Speaker 1: Wow, can't believe that didn't work right? No, In fact,
Speaker 1: now even the Biden administrations had to confirm it. Iran
Speaker 1: is actively backing Kamala Harris in this election, hacking Trump
Speaker 1: and providing the information to that the Harris campaign. No
Speaker 1: evidence they've used that information. But obviously, if Iran wants
Speaker 1: a certain candidate to win, the nation should elect the
Speaker 1: other candidate. And Iran, for clear reasons, wants Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: to win because look what happened to Iran when Trump
Speaker 1: was president. You know, the drill. It was bad for
Speaker 1: Iran and great for this nation in the world. Boy,
Speaker 1: this Scott Jennings, I hope he runs for office some days.
Speaker 1: He's a conservative. On CNN, here's this line of his
Speaker 1: A couple of minutes ago. North Carolina is underwater, Israel
Speaker 1: is under siege, the supply chain is under threat from
Speaker 1: a union boss, and the people think we have a
Speaker 1: void of leadership in the White House. How is the
Speaker 1: doctrine of quote don't working out right now? And that
Speaker 1: obviously puts Walls at A. Sash Harris in an even
Speaker 1: worse position tonight, right because what happened today, two hundred
Speaker 1: plus ballistic missiles rained down on Israel happened and it's horrific.
Speaker 1: And all Vance has to say is this didn't happen
Speaker 1: when Donald Trump was president. And then he'll expand on that.
Speaker 1: Of course, Russia didn't go into Ukraine. We didn't have
Speaker 1: October seven. It was pieced through strength. We at the opposite.
Speaker 1: The world's on fire right now, and we're heading toward
Speaker 1: potentially a World War III because of the Biden Harris weakness.
Speaker 1: And that is a clear, true message that I think
Speaker 1: no honest person can dispute. Now, Ryan, I make this
Speaker 1: point with great hesitation because it's so sad, but it's
Speaker 1: also very true. I think the stakes are higher tonight
Speaker 1: also for JD. Vance than they would normally be because
Speaker 1: of what we've lived through together here this horror of
Speaker 1: multiple assassination attempts on the president, and I think you
Speaker 1: have many, many more people thinking, yeah, hey, we are
Speaker 1: not going to give in to evil. We're not going
Speaker 1: to reward the evil that's trying to kill President Trump.
Speaker 1: I hope that it is engendering and solidifying support for Trump,
Speaker 1: but clearly you have more and more voters thinking that
Speaker 1: these evil people, including nation states like around trying to
Speaker 1: kill Trump, are not going to stop, and it causes
Speaker 1: them to think more about who will step in if
Speaker 1: evil succeeds in harming President Trump. So I think it
Speaker 1: puts more importance on JD. Vance's performance tonight. The good
Speaker 1: news is I think he's going to have a very
Speaker 1: strong performance.
Speaker 11: It also follows in the wake of the comments and
Speaker 11: the observations you've made repeatedly, Dan about what the fallout
Speaker 11: would be for Donald Trump personally and for his family
Speaker 11: when he took out General Solomonie for Iran, and Don
Speaker 11: Trump Junior just confirmed with Maria Barbaromo yesterday that there
Speaker 11: is intel that they've shared with the Trump family from
Speaker 11: American agencies that Don Junior, Eric the other family members
Speaker 11: they are being targeted by Iran as well, not just
Speaker 11: Don Trump Junior, Chris Senior ether No.
Speaker 1: And It's what I've been saying for years. It shows
Speaker 1: the physical courage of Donald Trump and the commitment to
Speaker 1: this nation that he would put himself in that kind
Speaker 1: of jeopardy and be willing to put his family in
Speaker 1: that kind of jeopardy to protect this nation. So it
Speaker 1: just shows his depth of commitment and his effectiveness. Right
Speaker 1: some Texters, Dan, I couldn't agree more with your crucial,
Speaker 1: urgent comments about Colorado roads. I've been driving here for
Speaker 1: decades and I am paralyzed by fear because of experience
Speaker 1: with accidents, personal and statistical. I pray every time I
Speaker 1: get in the car. Amen to that, and it's getting
Speaker 1: worse by the day. Part of the problem is the
Speaker 1: left undermining law enforcement in so many ways, starting with budget,
Speaker 1: which cuts down on actual enforcement and just causes more
Speaker 1: and more of this thunderdome stuff out there. Text or
Speaker 1: Dan about traffic. Can motorcycle drivers please please do not
Speaker 1: do this lane splitting. I've seen them actually cutting lines,
Speaker 1: rushing around the sides of vehicles, weaving in and out,
Speaker 1: and it goes on from there again, more leftist madness
Speaker 1: under this umbrella of greenness, this insanity of They call
Speaker 1: it lane filtering because they say, oh no, the cars
Speaker 1: have to be stopped for motorcycles to be able to
Speaker 1: do this. This is not a Kny knock on motorcycle riders.
Speaker 1: I have been one for years until a bad crash.
Speaker 1: I represent tons of people heard in motorcycle crashes, just
Speaker 1: like anything. You have this great group of really responsible
Speaker 1: motorcycle riders, and then you have some of these people
Speaker 1: who are just bad out of hell lane splitting. But
Speaker 1: this comes back to the Left legalizing this and it's
Speaker 1: insanity out there. And then Dan, I'm going to fire
Speaker 1: up a big joint and watch the debate, just kidding
Speaker 1: about the joint. That would probably make it more enjoyable.
Speaker 1: I wonder what that would be like, never having consumed THHC.
Speaker 1: What do you think it'd be like, Ryan, to watch
Speaker 1: this debate while impaired by THHC.
Speaker 11: I think you would have Tim Walls turn into Chris
Speaker 11: Farley in real time before your very eyes.
Speaker 1: That's tempting, but I'm going to resist that. Apologies to
Speaker 1: those who didn't get through. I hope he calls tomorrow,
Speaker 1: though much of tomorrow show will be devoted to a
Speaker 1: round by round breakdown of this particularly important VP debate tonight, Ryan,
Speaker 1: thank you for your usual great job. Kelly Ray of
Speaker 1: Human Sunshine, I think I'm going to have to start
Speaker 1: doing this show with shades on. Please join us tomorrow
