Keeping in mind 9 00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:24.920 and my mind, at least she's a child rapist. What 10 00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:27.480 do you think would you make that deal? Three oh 11 00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:29.760 three seven one three eight two five five the number 12 00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:33.520 text d an five seven seven three nine. We're also 13 00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:37.280 talking about, and I think this far more important. We're 14 00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:40.679 talking about this killing field that the Colorado roadways and 15 00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:44.159 highways has become, in large part because the Left has 16 00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:48.920 undermined law enforcement and so there isn't much law enforcement 17 00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:52.320 on the roadways anymore, in part large part because of 18 00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:56.679 the legalization of marijuana and the green lighting of drug use. 19 00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:59.719 And now on top of drunk driving, we've got this drugged. 20 00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:02.640 There are other reasons as well. I'd like your taking 21 00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:05.959 the reasons, but this we know it's happening, right, It's insane. 22 00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:08.959 And what's even more insane as we as a society 23 00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:11.120 seem to be willing to sit back and just say, oh, 24 00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:16.000 that's an acceptable casualty rate. Screw that. I mean that, 25 00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.760 that's a society that's begging for what it gets. No, 26 00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:20.959 we got to stand up to these killers. And they're 27 00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:23.959 no less killers because they're using a car instead of 28 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:27.120 a gun. They're no less killers because they're killing your 29 00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:29.560 wife when she's on the highway as opposed to in 30 00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:32.599 your bedroom. They are killers. And we got to get smart, 31 00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:34.200 and we got to stand up, and we got to 32 00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:36.760 start fighting back. We got to put them in jail, 33 00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:39.400 We got to take away their licenses. We got to 34 00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:42.760 do something dramatic in a hurry. What should that look like? 35 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:45.120 So a question I have on the table for you 36 00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:48.239 is do we start This is in menace a silver bullet, 37 00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.079 but you gotta start somewhere. Do we start by saying 38 00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:53.959 we're going to have a magic number one hundred and 39 00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:56.439 no matter where you are, if you go over that, 40 00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:59.840 then you're going to automatically lose your license. You're going 41 00:01:59.879 --> 00:02:02.879 to automatically have to do at least a day in jail. 42 00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:05.840 And that assumes nobody gets hurt. Do we do something 43 00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:09.759 dramatic like that. Now, obviously, if we're talking about in town, 44 00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:12.960 those penalties should kick in at a much lower speed. 45 00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:15.400 But do we have that magic number. We had a 46 00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:17.560 caller who said, in Texas they used to I think 47 00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:19.719 it's past tense. You know, they used to have a 48 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.319 lawwear if you did that, they impound your car and 49 00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:24.960 crush it. Now I haven't been able to verify that story, 50 00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:28.360 but that would get people's attention. So we're getting a 51 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:31.120 lot of intelligent text and calls on this. Would like 52 00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:34.479 your take, because this needs to happen and the Left 53 00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:36.319 isn't going to do it. In Colorado, the left shot 54 00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:41.120 down just this relatively mild increase in penalties for reckless 55 00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:43.439 driving this year, because the Left is pro criminal of 56 00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:48.120 every stripe. But in terms of a ballot measure, you know, 57 00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:50.439 in terms of people running for office on hey, I 58 00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:52.199 want to save your life, I want to save your wife, 59 00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:54.639 I want to save your kids. Yeah, I think that's 60 00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:56.439 going to get a lot of traction in a hurry, 61 00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:00.560 pun intended. So let's look at it. A couple of 62 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:03.759 text on this, some really intelligent stuff. Because if there's 63 00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:07.199 one thing we're all experts in, right, it's what happens 64 00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.039 on the roadways, Dan, if you looked at the features 65 00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:13.240 new cars are required to built in over the next 66 00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:15.719 few years after Biden's term. And then it goes into 67 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:20.159 how I'll shorten this up AI, other tech, etc. Monitoring 68 00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:22.400 a lot of car behavior, etc. And it leads this 69 00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:26.240 text to an interesting question in the interest to public safety, 70 00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:30.560 would you accept a law if it was constitutional, where 71 00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:33.000 cars were just monitor on the roadway and they got 72 00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:36.680 over a certain speed, They're automatically be recorded. There'd automatically 73 00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:39.039 be a ticket. I'm not advocating that, but I'm throwing 74 00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:42.360 the question out there, Daniell, your law should be a 75 00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:45.400 percentage of the speed. Thirty five and twenty five is 76 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.080 like one and ten and a seventy five. Really good 77 00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:50.960 thinking on your part, but I still think we need 78 00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:55.560 something clear, understandable. Every kid in high school knows it. 79 00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:59.479 Everybody knows it. You drive over X, you know you're 80 00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:04.319 getting punished severely. You drive over why in town you're 81 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:08.199 getting punished severely? What should that number be for in town? 82 00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:08.960 Ryan? 83 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:11.159 What would you're in town number be? I think we're 84 00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:14.360 in agreement on one hundred, though we've both done it 85 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:19.240 in situations we think we're safe. But what what should 86 00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:21.079 the number be in town? You go over that number, 87 00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:22.639 you're losing your license. 88 00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:24.519 In town on the freeway on twenty five or seven? 89 00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:26.759 I thank you, good, good question. No, I'm just talking 90 00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:30.639 about off highway surface streets in town, anywhere in a 91 00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:35.279 and you could define it anywhere in a residential type 92 00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:35.959 area for. 93 00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:38.519 This ultimate punishment that you're advocating. 94 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:40.639 Well, just an automatic. It's not ultimate to be the 95 00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:43.720 death penalty, right, but I'm talking about an automatic loss 96 00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.360 of license, automatic to do a day and some kind 97 00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:47.720 of jail. 98 00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:51.920 Someone certainly thirty over is egregious, you know, you get 99 00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:54.639 into I don't know. It depends on the speed limit 100 00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:57.040 of the residential area. If it's that way, then it 101 00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:58.439 might be a little bit lower. I don't know. 102 00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:00.759 Well, I got to tell you driving town on Bellevue, 103 00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:03.279 it has to be in Bellevue's forty five, right, it 104 00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:07.360 has to be at least once a week. Somebody's blown 105 00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:09.000 by me doing at least eighty. 106 00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:13.399 Really, Oh yeah, not like that, Oh not on Bellevue. Well, 107 00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:15.199 and I do travel on Bellevue quite a bit like 108 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:15.399 you do. 109 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:17.839 Well, that truck that would have killed Caroline if she'd 110 00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:20.759 gone when the light turn green. So thank you Lord. 111 00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:23.240 She listened to me and she didn't go when the 112 00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:26.079 light turn green. You know, she thinks that was going 113 00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:29.519 sixty five to seventy five and that was a semi Yeah. 114 00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:31.399 I think we got a lot. And again, doesn't it 115 00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:34.720 come back to because the left has undermined law enforcement. 116 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:37.040 There isn't much enforcement on the roads. 117 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:40.959 Correct, Yeah, I don't see hardly any even like state 118 00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:43.720 patrol on say four seventy or the wide open freeways. 119 00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:44.959 I don't see a lot of enforcement. 120 00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:48.120 Yeah, because they don't have the support, they don't have 121 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:50.279 the money, they don't have the money from the Democrats 122 00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:52.920 in the state. And then on top of that you 123 00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:55.600 got the left undermining law enforcement to the point I mean, 124 00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:57.519 if you were in law enforcement, I know we're blessed 125 00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:01.480 with many listeners who are to be really hard to 126 00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:04.959 initiate any kind of contact with any stranger out there 127 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:09.519 that isn't absolutely required, because you know, you've got leftist 128 00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:13.120 prosecutors all over the place, leftist elected officials just waiting 129 00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:18.519 to make you a human sacrifice. Yeah, it's boy, Texter Dan. 130 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:20.480 One of your texts at a good point going one 131 00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:22.959 hundred and five on the highway in a new Corvette 132 00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:26.079 that has made to go that fast, has speed rated tires, etc. 133 00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:30.160 Is safer in that car is than somebody driving a 134 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:32.240 big truck going one hundred miles an hour not made 135 00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:35.600 to do that. All fare points, right, all fair points. 136 00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:40.120 My only point is I do think we need something 137 00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:44.199 that's clear and applies to all and in Colorado, you 138 00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.920 don't do this or you pay a big price. That's 139 00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.360 not the total solution, but it has to start, and 140 00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:52.399 then we've got to add to that. Right, if it 141 00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:56.800 ends up being an injury crash, then that automatic penalty 142 00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:58.879 has to go way up. If it ends up, god forbid, 143 00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:02.279 being a fatal, automatic penalty has to go up again. 144 00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:05.480 If you disagree with the concept, you know, I'd love 145 00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:07.800 to have the conversation with you, because honestly, I don't 146 00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:12.399 know how anybody could. And maybe you don't think it's 147 00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:15.160 as big a deal as I do, which I'd completely understand, right, 148 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:17.279 because unless you have the kind of job I have, 149 00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:22.240 and unless you're looking at this stuff all the time, yeah, 150 00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:27.000 normal people would have no way of knowing how incredibly 151 00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:31.839 irresponsibly soft our laws are. When it comes to traffic carnage. 152 00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:34.519 But you know what you're experiencing on the roadway, right, 153 00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:37.959 and you know it's psycho And you know, we're not 154 00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:40.160 talking about the people on the Harleys and Indians and 155 00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:43.600 everything else, as Ryan points out, but this explosion, and 156 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:47.360 it is that right of the crotch rocket riders out 157 00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:50.199 there going one hundred looks like one hundred and ten, 158 00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:52.959 one hundred and twenty, some of them weaving in and 159 00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:56.480 out of traffic. And I know that the you know, 160 00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:58.439 common thought probably for a lot of people as they 161 00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:00.720 blow by, is they're going to get what they deserve. 162 00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:03.240 But but I'm sure there are a lot of people 163 00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:04.920 who look at it the way I do too, which is, 164 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:07.720 you know, my mom, I've mentioned this before, but it's 165 00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:09.639 one of the things I remember from when I was 166 00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:14.000 very very young, is, hey, that's somebody's son, that's somebody's daughter, right, 167 00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:16.560 no matter how stupid a thing they're doing or whatever. 168 00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:21.560 And then you know the cars, You get somebody out 169 00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:25.439 there driving crazy things like that, and then then a 170 00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:28.920 car ends up perfectly innocent car driver ends up killing them. 171 00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:32.879 That weighs very heavily. I'm that innocent driver who you know, 172 00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:35.720 had no chance to avoid it, but still somebody's dad 173 00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:38.000 right in front of them after a collision with their car. 174 00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:40.840 We've got to do something here. Why do you think 175 00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:45.080 something hasn't been done already? I'd really like your take, 176 00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:47.600 not only on the fix, but why do you think 177 00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:51.279 something hasn't been done already. I've got a theory on 178 00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:53.559 that I want to run by you, But the focus 179 00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:55.320 is on the fix. Three H three seven to one 180 00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:57.879 to three A two five five the number text d 181 00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:00.679 A N five seven seventh three nine. We're also mixing 182 00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:05.240 in the Glen Maxwell topic, which is really heating up 183 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:07.840 right now after these two days of meetings with DJ. 184 00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:12.000 Would you consider a pardon or a commutation for Heelan Maxwell? 185 00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:15.159 Is something I haven't thought about it really, As I 186 00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:16.120 recommend you had. 187 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.279 Something, I'm allowed to do it, but there's something I 188 00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:19.120 have not thought about it. 189 00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:19.879 I wouldn't do it. 190 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.279 I'll tell you right now. There will not be a pardon. 191 00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:25.080 There should not be a pardon. It would send such 192 00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:30.440 a horrific message to pardon somebody who's been responsible for 193 00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:34.080 so much child rape. No, can't do it now. What 194 00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:37.679 would you think of DJ doing a deal where she 195 00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:42.840 stays convicted, but her jail sens is reduced or maybe 196 00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:50.240 eliminated in exchange for names support successful prosecutions. And how 197 00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:54.080 many how many of these child rapists would she have 198 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:56.240 to help put away to be able to get that deal? 199 00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:57.879 Where do you come down on that? You're on the 200 00:09:57.960 --> 00:09:59.039 Dan Kapla Show. 201 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:05.600 And now back to the Dan Capless Show podcast torture 202 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:05.759 in me? 203 00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:07.799 Thank you? Now I know who my friends are. 204 00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:09.799 Hey, you has a moment. 205 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:11.879 Beautiful time in life. What was that about? Eight months? 206 00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:14.879 I had that Corvette car I've never had. Oh, it 207 00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:15.919 was such a beautiful thing. 208 00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:17.840 And you're very selfless to turn that in. 209 00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:20.679 That's why I'm telling the story. Thank you. Yes we did. 210 00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:25.559 We don't have the garage space because came and then 211 00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:27.919 it's either the corvette in the garage or my wife's 212 00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:30.000 car in the garage. That was an easy call. 213 00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:33.159 Here's what I know. You're Dan Capless. If you wanted 214 00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:35.639 to create more garage space, you could make that happen, 215 00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:37.320 right or do you not have a building permit? 216 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:40.639 I appreciate your confidence in me, but no, wait, it 217 00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:42.399 would have been give him house a cookie, give him 218 00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:44.559 house a corvette and then okay, now you need a 219 00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:46.600 new house because you need more garage space. Now we 220 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.080 just couldn't do that. But what an amazing car that 221 00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:54.039 was then, Lyles Chevrolet. You're original car, American sports car. Yes, 222 00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:55.919 text or in lines on fire. I want to get 223 00:10:55.919 --> 00:10:59.360 to those two. We're talking about how to actually step 224 00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:02.519 up now and like men and women and protect ourselves 225 00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:05.120 from these killers on the roadway who right now have 226 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:07.320 their run of the place, and don't blame law enforcement. 227 00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:09.399 They're doing all they can, but the left is undermine 228 00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:12.240 law enforcement. Dan says a Texter. I work as a 229 00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:15.080 law enforcement officer in northern Colorado. Within the last month, 230 00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:18.000 I wrote a seventeen year old a ticket for how 231 00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:23.879 many points would you guess? Five? Seventy three? Wrote a 232 00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:27.919 seventeen year old a ticket for seventy three points. Come on, 233 00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:30.879 And then it goes on to say I routinely stop 234 00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:35.600 drivers going over one hundred miles an hour. Yeah, we 235 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:37.200 need a law and that's what we're talking about. We 236 00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:39.360 need to get tough in a hurry. We need to 237 00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:41.919 have a magic number. You go over that you're losing 238 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:44.360 your license. All sorts of other bad things happening, and 239 00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:47.559 then that's just one of many tools we need. Brent 240 00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:49.519 and Aura, you're on the dan Kaplis show. 241 00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:51.320 Welcome, how you doing. 242 00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:53.159 I'm also a retired law. 243 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:55.159 Enforcement as you're serious, Thank you. 244 00:11:55.279 --> 00:12:01.080 I'm also I'm also a professional truck driver. And I 245 00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.519 say this all the time, but I've talked to a 246 00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:08.039 lot of law enforcement and because Colorado passed a law 247 00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:13.639 where law enforcement is now responsible can be personally held 248 00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.840 liable like the twenty five thousand dollars, a lot of 249 00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:19.080 them don't even want to take the chance even stopping 250 00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:22.559 any amen. Amen, And I think that's part of the 251 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:23.399 problem right there. 252 00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:26.120 You bet you, you bet you, you nailed it. And hey, 253 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:28.080 thanks for your service as a truck driver, because I've 254 00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.320 always said that the true professional truck drivers they're great 255 00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:34.320 public servants. The bad ones that there are a few 256 00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:37.039 things is dangerous in society. But thanks for what you 257 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:37.639 do out there. 258 00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:38.399 Yeah. 259 00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:40.600 The other thing too. I drive all the way I 260 00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:45.559 seventy out the middle of Kansas. Routinely the truck that 261 00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:47.960 I drive will tell me how fast people are going. 262 00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.639 And I routinely have people like one hundred, one hundred 263 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:53.919 and twenty miles an hour over. 264 00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:54.480 To speed women. 265 00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:56.080 Man, that is insane. 266 00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:58.679 And the thing is, if I could call it in 267 00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:02.039 in Colorado because they're so little law enforcement available. Yeah, 268 00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:05.320 they very rarely get stopped in Colorado. In Kansas, they 269 00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:08.360 get stopped within ten to twenty miles. So somebody's going 270 00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:08.840 over on her. 271 00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:09.440 I call them in. 272 00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:11.919 Yeah, yeah, I'm glad you do. I'm glad you do. 273 00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:13.759 My friend, I'm calling nine to one one all the 274 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:15.879 time on reckless drivers. Hey, do you do anything in 275 00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:17.320 the mountains? Do you drive west at all? 276 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:19.919 I have, but not recently. 277 00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:23.320 Yeah, yeah, good man. That has to be so brutal. Hey, thanks, Brent, 278 00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:26.159 appreciate the call. James and Pueblo. You're on the Dan 279 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:26.879 Kapitalist Show. 280 00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:28.840 Welcome, Hey Dan. 281 00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:31.519 Hey, I was just listening to all this stuff going 282 00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:36.080 on with all these drivers this last weekend. This guy 283 00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:37.840 going one hundred and forty killed a woman and her 284 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:40.320 fourteen year old daughter over here just in town. 285 00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:42.679 Oh yeah, yeah, no, I know what you're talking about. 286 00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:43.919 Just pretty evil. 287 00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:45.360 So what needs to be done? 288 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:54.559 Okay, here's my idea. When there's been reckless driving and 289 00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:58.120 somebody's killed that person, once they get out of the hospital, 290 00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:01.120 they should hold over those bodies in the Morgue and 291 00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:03.840 force that person to go look at those bodies and 292 00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:06.600 see what they did, and then they lose their briving 293 00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:09.080 fledges for a year at least one year in jail 294 00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:11.440 and then another year of probation on top of that. 295 00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:15.440 Yeah, boy, James, appreciate the call. We've got to do 296 00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:19.960 something really, really dramatic. I was just as James was talking, 297 00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:23.159 I was picturing that one of these thoughts that just 298 00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:26.559 haunts me and always will is I was representing this amazing, 299 00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:31.399 amazing single mom and her beautiful, beautiful six year old 300 00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:35.919 son just killed on the roadways and we eventually went 301 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:38.480 to trial in that case, but she was so courageous. 302 00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:39.919 But just. 303 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:46.399 Her having to leave his body in the hospital and 304 00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:53.480 walk out of that hospital with him dead on that table, 305 00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:56.080 I mean, it's just it's something you can never ever 306 00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:58.480 ever get out of your head, and no parents should 307 00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:01.320 ever have to do that. And the fact that we 308 00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:05.000 have these killers on the roadway, all ages, shape sizes, 309 00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:07.919 they just don't care about other life. We got to 310 00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:10.639 stand up to them. And if you knew, if you 311 00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:14.120 knew how soft Colorado law was on these killers right now, 312 00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:18.360 it would make you throw up. So lame the legislators. 313 00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:20.480 It all goes back there. We got to change that. 314 00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:24.559 We got to empower police instead of undermined police, which 315 00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:30.080 is what most politicians are doing now. Dan, to your question, 316 00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:33.039 why hasn't something been done already about excessive speed and 317 00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:35.399 reckless driving, it's because it's a hard decision to make 318 00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:37.919 and you have to hold people accountable and Democrats are 319 00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:40.039 not good at that. Texter, I think you're being way 320 00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:43.440 too generous what we have right now in Colorado with 321 00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:46.639 the left. They are pro criminal and there was a 322 00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:51.600 very mild increase in punishment for reckless driving bill and 323 00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:55.720 the legislature this year that they shot down. They shot 324 00:15:55.759 --> 00:16:02.559 it down. They are so habitually reflexively pro criminal. Yeah, 325 00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:05.519 it can only happen in Colorado one or two ways, right, 326 00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:10.720 It can only happen with starting to elect Republicans, you know, 327 00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:14.240 to enough offices or through a ballot measure, because the 328 00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:16.399 Democrats that control the state they are not going to 329 00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:19.679 do it, which is so insane, right, because they and 330 00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:23.000 their family members, etc. They are just as much at risk. 331 00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:26.720 And I understand the hypocrisy we get from these high 332 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.080 level elected lefties who say you can't have your gun, 333 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:33.759 or you can only have so many bullets in your magazine. 334 00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:37.799 But then they've got all this taxpayer funded security. I 335 00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:40.919 understand that hypocrisy, but don't these people realize when they're 336 00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:43.200 out on the road. When they're out on the road, 337 00:16:43.320 --> 00:16:45.080 they're in't as much danger as the rest of us 338 00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:48.480 and their families and as much danger as the rest 339 00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:51.120 of us. But it comes back to that the far 340 00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:55.919 left has reached the point where their devotion to criminals, 341 00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:59.639 whether it's folks here illegally you've committed other crimes, or 342 00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:02.039 just folks who commit all sorts of crimes, their devotion 343 00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:05.839 to criminals is more important to them than their own 344 00:17:05.880 --> 00:17:08.640 life and safety and the life and safety of their family. 345 00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:11.359 How do people ever reach that point? But that's the 346 00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:15.039 point the left that runs Colorado has reached. A Texter 347 00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:17.799 says Dan. We drove back from the Springs last night, 348 00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:20.119 and all along I twenty five there were many people 349 00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:23.240 speeding excessively and changing three lanes at a time, etc. 350 00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:26.400 It was a mix of trucks at Anne's, SUV's, motorcycles, 351 00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:28.839 et cetera. I'm with you, my brother or sister. 352 00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:31.000 You know, I've had a. 353 00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:33.319 Bunch of trials down in the Springs recently, so I'll 354 00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:35.640 be making that trip back. But it doesn't It all 355 00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:38.519 come back to the left undermining law enforcements, so there 356 00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:42.240 isn't much enforcement. So it's like some sort of psycho 357 00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:44.640 video game where you've got a lot of drivers who 358 00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:47.480 just know the chance of actually being stopped is so 359 00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:50.920 low they're just going to do whatever they want. And 360 00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:53.799 this Ryan, this Texter brings us to an important point. 361 00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:56.880 We have these psycho killers who don't care at all 362 00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:59.039 about other life that we focus on, and we should, 363 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:02.519 but because of the left undermining law enforcement, we now 364 00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:07.519 have another layer developing normally responsible people who just feel 365 00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:09.720 as if there isn't any enforcement out there, so they're 366 00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:14.119 going to do dangerous things they otherwise wouldn't do. It's 367 00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:16.000 a brutal mix. We got to do something. What do 368 00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:19.680 you think we should do? You're on the Dan Capless Show. 369 00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:29.480 You're listening to the Dan Kapliss Show podcast five. 370 00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:32.039 Point thirty six. Glad you're with us. Just reading a 371 00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:35.759 text from one of the toughest people I know, happens 372 00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:40.119 to be a state trooper as well. Dan listening to 373 00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:43.000 the show and getting my blood boiling traffic safety has 374 00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:45.400 been my life's passion and work. Nothing in less than 375 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.920 a second changes the life so negatively. Yes, jail and impound. 376 00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:51.599 The vehicle drivers hate the five hundred dollars payment to 377 00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:54.799 get their car out more than anything. The car is 378 00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:58.000 built to handle it. The driver is not trained for it. 379 00:18:58.119 --> 00:19:02.200 That's the problem, not the car driver. And this is 380 00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:04.160 this is a great human. I wish I could say 381 00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:08.039 more about him, but he's out there. He's out there 382 00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:10.799 in the trenches trying to protect people, and that you know, 383 00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:12.759 it's it's funny because my dead a cop for thirty 384 00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:16.799 years in Chicago, and obviously I admire law enforcement, but 385 00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:19.640 I've had many many officers say to me, the toughest 386 00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:24.240 job out there is state patrol because you you see 387 00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:27.200 all of these horrific things that you can never get 388 00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:30.200 out of your head. Right, all these teenagers, let's say, 389 00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:33.920 who were alive two minutes ago and now they're dead 390 00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:38.119 because somebody did something reckless and stupid, or the families 391 00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:41.160 killed there, all these horrible things that that state troopers 392 00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:43.480 have to see that they can never get out of 393 00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:48.240 their heads. And then state troopers don't have the don't 394 00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:50.839 have that the the support structure. I mean within state patrol, 395 00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:53.759 they have a superb support structure. But just you know, say, 396 00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:57.319 if you're a Denver police officer, you have that, you 397 00:19:57.440 --> 00:20:01.599 have that city, you have that, that family, you know 398 00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:05.400 of fellow officers in this common area of terrain State patrol. 399 00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:08.720 You're off and out on these long stretches of dangerous 400 00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:11.759 road alone. So that is a tough, tough job. Three 401 00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:13.799
