WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.520 This is Dan Kaplis and welcome to today's online podcast 2 00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:05.759 edition of The Dan Kaplis Show. Please be sure to 3 00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:08.240 give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind, 4 00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:11.599 and to subscribe, download and listen to the show every 5 00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:15.519 single day on your favorite podcast platform. Lots on the 6 00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:20.280 agenda Locally, we're talking about some accusations within the GOP 7 00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:23.839 regarding Representative Weinberg. We'll circle back to that one to 8 00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:27.480 get you taken a few things in particular nationally talking 9 00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:31.239 about Jeffrey Epstein. This cannot be allowed to just die. 10 00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:34.600 America deserves answers, has to be done in a fair 11 00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:39.399 way where the innocent aren't destroyed, but others America. 12 00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:40.560 Needs to know the truth. 13 00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:44.880 So we're talking as well about this idiotic leftist move 14 00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.359 under the guise of their green ideology to now permit 15 00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:53.159 this lane filtering motorcycles driving between cars, which they knew, 16 00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:56.399 of course, would turn into full lane splitting at full speed, 17 00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:59.399 which again shows a lack of respect for human life 18 00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:02.359 and has caused a lot of unnecessary carnage on the 19 00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:06.159 roadway and anxiety for other drivers. So covering all that, 20 00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:09.280 always a privileged Thursdays at about five oh five to 21 00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:13.120 go to the VIP line. Welcome doctor Catherine Wheeler. And 22 00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:17.920 doctor Wheeler helps us zero in from a medical perspective 23 00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:21.319 on some of the key issues surrounding abortion. And we 24 00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:26.680 talk often, obviously about different policy positions, and I've been 25 00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:28.799 privileged to play. 26 00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:30.959 A small role in the right to life movement for years. 27 00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.280 But doctor Whiller brings that medical perspective which is so helpful, 28 00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:37.079 and she has a special credibility because she used to 29 00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:41.359 perform abortions and is now very active in saving lives. 30 00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:43.560 So doctor welcome back to the Dan Kapli Show. 31 00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:46.359 Thank you Dan for having me back. 32 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:50.319 We'll always look forward to it. And today's I think 33 00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:53.560 is highly timely. And that is the issue from a 34 00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:59.560 medical perspective of this argument that, hey, this cutting government 35 00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:03.680 funding now for planned parenthood, says planned parenthood will affect 36 00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:07.920 the safety net of essential women's healthcare. Can you address 37 00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:09.759 that from a medical perspective. 38 00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:13.479 Yeah, we talked a little bit about that last week. 39 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:17.960 The fact that actually they're not providing the majority of healthcare. 40 00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:23.240 They're primarily an abortion industry. And so this what's being 41 00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:25.800 stirred up is this fear of more women are going 42 00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:29.479 to die if we don't have this safety net, which 43 00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:34.240 actually we do have in federally healthcare federally qualified healthcare 44 00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:38.800 clinics and rural healthcare clinics in Colorado, that's our safety net. 45 00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:43.000 They provide all of the medical care that women need. So, 46 00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:46.080 you know, this fear of women dying, that's really been 47 00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:50.639 the drum beat behind all of the legislation promoting abortion 48 00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:54.680 and the biggest, really the biggest narrative that gets people 49 00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:58.319 to vote for abortion because nobody wants women to die. 50 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:02.800 But the truth is it does not increase maternal mortality 51 00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:09.479 to have unrestricted abortion. It actually goes the other direction probably, 52 00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:12.400 And so you know, probably the most important thing for 53 00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:14.919 people to know is that in the United States, we 54 00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:18.120 actually don't know how many women die from abortion, so 55 00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:21.280 we don't have a comparison at all. And in fact, 56 00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:25.199 abortion deaths are actually in most states, including Colorado, are 57 00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:29.599 rolled into maternity deaths, not separate, so they actually increase 58 00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:32.879 what maternal deaths look like, and we don't know how 59 00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.560 many of them are abortions. So we actually have to 60 00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:39.360 go to countries that have universal health coverage and can 61 00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:44.120 then follow outcomes of women comparing child bearing to abortion, 62 00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:48.439 and so these would be like Finland, Denmark, and what 63 00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:51.560 we know from those countries is that mortality is two 64 00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:54.360 to four times higher if a woman has an abortion. 65 00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:58.919 Then if a woman bears a child, and that goes 66 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:02.560 from one hundred and eighty day through the pregnancy and 67 00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.240 end of the pregnancy through one hundred and eighty days, 68 00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:08.280 it goes out to twenty five years. So this is 69 00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:12.199 a significant impact. It goes up with every abortion she has. 70 00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:17.680 It increases mortality increases the further along in the pregnancy 71 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:21.240 she is when she gets to the abortion. So if 72 00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:26.360 it was true that abortion actually decreases maternal mortality, we 73 00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:30.240 would expect that mortality would have gone up after Dobbs, 74 00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:35.560 but actually it went down twenty percent, which is fascinating. 75 00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:38.120 And when you compare it, you know, if it decreased 76 00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:43.600 mortality with maternal mortality, we'd expect United States to have 77 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:48.160 a very low maternal mortality because we have expansive abortion 78 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:50.959 rights all the way to the do date. But actually 79 00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:55.560 we're significantly higher than every other country that's developed, at 80 00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:58.680 least three times to four times. When it is in Europe. 81 00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:04.399 There's nothing in the literature that says it decreases mortality. Instead, 82 00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:08.120 it suggests it actually increases mortality to have unrestricted abortion. 83 00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:11.480 I think the last thing I'd say is thank god. 84 00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:14.920 The maternal mortality is actually incredibly rare. So in the 85 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.720 United States, your risk of dying from child bearing is 86 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:22.759 point zero one point eight percent. So you know, I 87 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:25.680 can remember with my first pregnancy thinking, oh my gosh, 88 00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:27.720 I'm going to die because it's all. 89 00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:30.360 Over the news, right right, right, the two tenths of 90 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:31.040 one percent. 91 00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:36.120 Yeah, extremely rare. So you know that's not an excuse 92 00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:40.959 for elective abortion. Every maternal death is an absolute tragedy. 93 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:43.639 But again, thank god, it's very rare. 94 00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:46.399 Well, and it just comes back to and you thank 95 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:49.279 you for documenting it from a medical standpoint, but it 96 00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:53.040 just comes back to the fact that the abortion industry, 97 00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:55.879 really from day one in America, has been based on 98 00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:58.439 a series of lives, right the original live matter, And 99 00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:04.000 I'm just talking medically here, medically disprovable core arguments in 100 00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:08.279 favor of legalized abortion, starting with it's a blob of tissue, 101 00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:09.439 it's not a living. 102 00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:14.079 Human exactly, and you know it's hidden in darkness. That's 103 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.160 why they don't want data. So you know, especially like 104 00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:20.839 here in Colorado where it's completely unrestricted. They don't want 105 00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:23.839 us to know what's going on. It's all hidden. There's 106 00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:27.519 no regulation in Colorado. We don't know what happens in 107 00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:31.399 those facilities. There's no safety measures. And then that the 108 00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:35.279 creation of a procedes need this whole idea that women 109 00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:39.639 have to have an abortion availability in order to participate 110 00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:42.920 fully in society. And what kind of a society is that? 111 00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:45.920 You know, the alternative would be to step in and 112 00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:49.399 provide support if there's not a man stepping up to 113 00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:52.800 the plate. And that used to be our structure within 114 00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:56.160 our family and our churches and our communities. And wouldn't 115 00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.240 it be lovely to go back to that and really 116 00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:00.839 step into helping these women. 117 00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:03.720 Yeah, just as the argument used to be, oh, wait 118 00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:06.319 a second, we have to have slavery, we have to 119 00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:10.040 treat human life as somebody else's property in order for 120 00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:13.439 those landover owners to be able to fully participate in 121 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:15.839 the economy. Right, That used to be the argument in 122 00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:21.399 favor of that, which is just as much a lie exactly. 123 00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:23.000 And you know, an economy is the right way to 124 00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:27.000 think about it, because you look at who is actually 125 00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:32.360 benefiting from abortion, and it's the abortion industry. And it 126 00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:36.399 may be people, including some men, who don't take responsibility. 127 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:39.879 It includes corporations who say we'll pay for you to 128 00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:43.399 travel for abortion because we save money, but we won't 129 00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:47.399 provide a safety for you with three months of being 130 00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:51.360 hold with your child. You know, if you follow the money, 131 00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:53.959 you see who's benefiting, and it's not women. 132 00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:58.319 Doctor Catherine Wheeler, our guest in our final minute, Doctor, 133 00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:01.720 and again look forward to Everyday segment at five oh five. 134 00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:04.879 You made the comment earlier nobody wants women to die, 135 00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:07.959 which which reminded me of something that I don't think 136 00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:13.000 people focus on enough, which is the fact that the 137 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:16.759 Democratic Party now, which is completely chained to abortion on 138 00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:21.199 demand through labor and delivery, the entire abortion industry, all 139 00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:24.680 those with the financial motive you just mentioned, they do 140 00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:28.959 want women to die. That they literally, they literally build 141 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:34.519 their political party around policies they know will lead to what, 142 00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:38.320 on average, seven to seven hundred and fifty thousand females 143 00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:44.000 a year being killed in America. And so those who claim, oh, 144 00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:49.200 we're pro women, we're pro abortion, they are deliberately facilitating 145 00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:52.000 and advancing that the killing of seven hundred and fifty 146 00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:55.480 thousand females a year. How's that pro woman? 147 00:08:57.559 --> 00:08:59.240 You know, I have to think back to being a 148 00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:02.759 physician doing abortions, and I wonder how much in our 149 00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:05.639 political landscape is the same where you truly believe you're 150 00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:08.639 helping women and you don't think about that. Yeah, and 151 00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:11.320 so I don't know that they're intentionally wanting women to die. 152 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:15.000 It's just they're not thinking through what abortion is. We 153 00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:17.559 talk about it as being choice. We don't talk about 154 00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:20.120 what an abortion is, which is the intentional taking of 155 00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:22.919 life of a human being. And so as long as 156 00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:26.080 you can call it choice and you'll have no mental image, 157 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:29.639 you know. I think about Kamala Harris hitting the news 158 00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:32.960 because she went to a planned parenthood facility. Did she 159 00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:35.639 go in the back and watch an abortion? Absolutely not 160 00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:38.120 right now, all respectful when she does that. 161 00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:40.519 Well, you make such a great point, and it's one 162 00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:43.879 of the reasons I'm so hopeful and certain that that 163 00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:45.919 life is going to win in the end. Is it's 164 00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:49.360 winning and trending right now, and that is you have 165 00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:54.360 so many well intentioned people who support abortion on demand. 166 00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:58.200 When I made my comments, I'm thinking of the elected officials, 167 00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.759 political activists, people, the profit side of the industry. 168 00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:03.159 They know exactly what they're doing. 169 00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:06.120 But you have a lot of people supporting legalized abortion 170 00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:09.759 with this shallow, well intentioned thinking where they never even 171 00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:13.519 allow themselves to go deeper and think about points like 172 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.159 my last one. And that gives me, you know, just 173 00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:19.039 this eternal hope which I think we see being fulfilled, 174 00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:21.679 that you're going to be able to persuade people to 175 00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:23.120 switch their position on that. 176 00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:27.159 Well, I do think the lies are finally being exposed. 177 00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:31.399 I mean we're seeing like an explosion of things being 178 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:35.039 exposed this year from the harms of drug induced abortion, 179 00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:39.799 you know, finding that eleven percent of women are actually 180 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:44.080 having serious side effects that not even including TATH that 181 00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:46.840 isn't included in that number, and the call that the 182 00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:49.840 FDA is probably going to look at that and actually 183 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:54.240 deeper research. And you know, we're seeing the parenthood being defunded. 184 00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:56.320 And what we're going to see in the next years 185 00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:59.840 is people are going to be referred to true healthcare facilities, 186 00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:02.440 they're going to get real care. Mortality is not going 187 00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:04.759 to go up, they're going to get better care. So 188 00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:06.679 I think the lives will keep being exposed. 189 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:10.080 I'm very thankful for that, well said doctor, and look 190 00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:10.919 forward to next week. 191 00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:13.000 Thank you very much. 192 00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:15.759 You take care of that? Is that doctor Catherine Wheeler. 193 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:17.559 You're on the Dan Capla Show. 194 00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:21.960 And now back to the Dan Taplass Show podcast. 195 00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:25.039 Just one of my all time favorite songs. That's great. 196 00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:27.759 Yeah, soa staying at Red Rocks not that long, agobout 197 00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:30.200 a month? Really, it's still incredible. 198 00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:31.679 Yeah, how's the walker working of? 199 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:35.159 You know he was holding it together pretty well. 200 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:35.519 Yeah. 201 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:37.639 You know, singers of a certain age lose that high 202 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:41.000 register and that snow exceptional wasting, but still all they lose. 203 00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:43.200 But it Yeah, No, I love that. 204 00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:46.519 I always, yeah, think of my wife when I hear that. 205 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:47.799 Yeah, that's fantastic. 206 00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:50.519 Three or three someone three two five five the number 207 00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:53.399 text d A and five seven seven three nine. Thank 208 00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:55.879 you again to Sheriff Steve Riams and Heidi good All 209 00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:00.240 for filling in while I've been out fighting all the these 210 00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:03.320 legal battles. I happened to be a trial lawyer and 211 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:05.320 we just had an awful lot of trials going on. 212 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:08.639 And I just as somebody had asked in a text, Dan, 213 00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:09.639 why so many trials? 214 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:11.759 I love it. I just love it. 215 00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:13.879 It's a privilege, it's an honor and to be able 216 00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:16.519 to go in there argue a righteous case to a jury. 217 00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:17.759 That is a real high. 218 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:20.840 But going to be with you for probably six solid 219 00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:23.440 weeks here before we start a month long trial on 220 00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:28.000 September second, So looking forward to that time together. Three 221 00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:30.639 three someone three eight two five five text d A 222 00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:34.399 N five seven seven three nine. Here's what we're talking about, though. 223 00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:37.840 If you have something on your mind, fire at will locally. Hey, 224 00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:43.000 we're talking about these allegations against GOP Representative Weinberg, as 225 00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.320 he had been vying for a leadership position. And so 226 00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:49.600 we'll cycle back to that at some point, talking about 227 00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:51.240 the Jeffrey Epstein. 228 00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:52.879 Situation. 229 00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:55.960 And again I feel it's vital that would not just 230 00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:59.919 be dropped and that America get the truth about anybody 231 00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:03.960 involved in anything nefarious. And then the challenge is protecting 232 00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:06.320 the innocent and all of that right, but it cannot 233 00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:09.120 just be allowed to drop. I think first is a 234 00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:12.679 matter just of justice, but second of confidence in our 235 00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:15.279 justice system. So I threw out some ideas how we 236 00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:18.240 could come up with a fair process, and for me, 237 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:20.720 it boils down to, hey, let's get two or three 238 00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:25.879 highly respected former law enforcement officials and put those people 239 00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:30.039 in charge of going through all the files and determining 240 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:33.360 what should be publicly released and what shouldn't be, starting 241 00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:35.759 of course with what can be legally released, and then 242 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:38.840 going to what would be fair to release, because if 243 00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:41.919 somebody had an otherwise innocent contact with them, like a 244 00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:44.759 business deal, you don't want to destroy that life. If 245 00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:47.440 you've got somebody who's names in there because they were victim, 246 00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:49.639 obviously they need to be protected if they don't want 247 00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:52.080 their name released. And if you have somebody who went 248 00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:55.440 to the darn Island, then I think the assumption should 249 00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:57.679 be that's going to be released. Three or three someone 250 00:13:57.720 --> 00:14:03.120 three eight two five five. Also talking about this insanity 251 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.919 on our roadways right now, right where we talked about 252 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:08.320 it at the time. The Left forced this law through 253 00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:13.799 under their green ideology of allowing motorcycles to drive between 254 00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:18.320 lanes of cars. And you experience it probably every day 255 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:20.200 like I do, or at least every other day, and 256 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:25.240 it's pure insanity, and it's inflicting all this unnecessary stress 257 00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:29.840 out on the roadway for everybody, unnecessary death and injury. 258 00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:32.000 And I know you get ticked off, like I was 259 00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:34.679 coming back from meeting in the Springs today and I'm 260 00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:37.679 in the express lane coming back up to Denver, and 261 00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:39.600 I get somebody on a bike. 262 00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:43.000 Cutting between me and the car in. 263 00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:46.039 The left hand lane of North Found twenty five and 264 00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:48.320 he's got to be going one hundred and ten. And 265 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:51.360 first you get ticked, right, But then the second thing 266 00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:56.360 you think is that's somebody's son. You know, that's somebody's son, 267 00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:01.240 and that person might be dead two miles away, and 268 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:05.279 it's just it's tragic, and it's wrong, and it's unfair 269 00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:08.759 to drivers. It's unfair to drivers to be inflicting that 270 00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:12.559 kind of additional danger and stress. And who does it serve? 271 00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:17.879 Because you know, I used to ride before a crash, 272 00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:21.000 and I know we have a lot of professional, responsible 273 00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:23.240 riders in the audience. Who does this really serve? And 274 00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:26.840 I get the lane filtering, true lane filtering. If you're 275 00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:29.759 stopped at an intersection and you don't want to be 276 00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:32.399 you don't want to be on your bike stuck between 277 00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:34.919 two cars where you might get rear ended and crushed, 278 00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:37.840 so then you just want to filter when it stopped, 279 00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:41.120 you know, those few feet up between the cars up 280 00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:45.000 to the crosswalk. I get that safety maneuver, so then 281 00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:48.399 you're protected from being rear ended. I get it, but 282 00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:49.759 that's not what we're talking about. 283 00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:50.639 And the left knew that. 284 00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:54.679 They knew once they passed this kind of lane quote filtering, 285 00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:57.600 you'd get this full lane splitting we have right now. 286 00:15:57.639 --> 00:16:05.240 So what should we do about that? Yeah, he's here's 287 00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:08.159 a text I don't even understand, so I can't read it. 288 00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:14.919 Here's another one I don't understand, so I can't read it. 289 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:15.840 Is this me Ryan? 290 00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:19.080 Or is this a couple of textures? Maybe it's the 291 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:22.120 same person. Those last two texts we got, What do 292 00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:24.600 they mean? Well, this one says Dan. The lane splitting 293 00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:27.200 issue has not changed. The crazies have been doing it 294 00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:28.960 for years and will continue to do it. It is 295 00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:32.039 illegal and carries great risk. It is self regulating as 296 00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:35.200 the practitioners die or are disabled. Wait a second, my friend, 297 00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:39.440 the texture it is dramatically increased since the law was 298 00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:42.440 changed to allow lane filtering, at least where I'm driving, 299 00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:45.519 and I'm driving most places around the state. Ryan, Is 300 00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:47.320 this a figment of my imagination? 301 00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:49.600 No, and I knew this would happen, and you knew 302 00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:51.240 this would happen, and we talked about it when it 303 00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:53.360 first implemented. That people aren't going to look to, you know, 304 00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:56.840 parse through the fine details of what's what's filtering, what's splitting, 305 00:16:56.840 --> 00:16:57.519 what's the difference. 306 00:16:57.519 --> 00:16:58.799 You can do this, but you can't do that. 307 00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:02.639 All I'm seeing are these cross rockets and these bikes 308 00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:06.279 going through, not the hogs, not the Indian motorcycles, right, 309 00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:09.519 not the harlest right. And they're just like you said, 310 00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:10.960 one hundred and ten miles an hour. I see it 311 00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:11.599 all the time. 312 00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:15.720 Too, yeah, yeah, And it's so interesting. So many of 313 00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:18.599 the cars you see out there right now going over 314 00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:21.920 one hundred weaving in and out of traffic, those are 315 00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:24.640 our cars that probably cost somebody four hundred dollars, right, 316 00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:26.839 And I'm not trying to be a leitist or anything. 317 00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:29.559 I'm I'm just being realistic about a problem we have 318 00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:32.160 going on out there right now because the left's undermining 319 00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:35.759 law enforcement, doesn't support them, and we have less enforcement. 320 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:41.359 You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. 321 00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:45.920 Texter Dan, Yes, all in caps, please reverse the insane 322 00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:51.319 motorcycle lane filtering law. It's crazy enough watching for distracted 323 00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:54.720 drivers wandering in their lanes. Now we could be ambushed 324 00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:58.119 by a motorcycle. This is a danger to the motorcyclist 325 00:17:58.200 --> 00:18:02.160 as well as drivers not paying attention. Thanks for addressing 326 00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:06.240 this crazy law, my pleasure. It's insane and you know, 327 00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:11.119 as a driver myself, listen, it wouldn't matter that it 328 00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:13.839 wouldn't be my fault. Obviously. If I don't see one 329 00:18:13.880 --> 00:18:17.559 of these crazy lane splitters, that's somebody's child who's going 330 00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:20.400 to get killed in that crash. So it's just so 331 00:18:20.599 --> 00:18:25.599 much unnecessary stress out on the roadway, totally unnecessary, and 332 00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:28.720 it just comes back to the left. They don't just 333 00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:31.200 care about human life. This is such a waste of 334 00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:36.000 innocent human life and just adding so much more danger 335 00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:38.799 to the roadway. Let's go to Justin and Littleton. You're 336 00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:39.920 on the Dan Kaplas show. 337 00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:43.559 Welcome, Hey Dan. I think we talked about this probably 338 00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:45.880 a year, eight months, nine months ago, Brobab the last 339 00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:48.319 summer you have the same topic. I don't even say 340 00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:51.599 it's lane splitting. I think it's lack of law enforcement 341 00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:55.039 the roads. And I would boil down to the not 342 00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:58.440 the cops on the road, but their management. But it's 343 00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:02.319 just nobody enforced. It's the speed limits cars, motorcycles, it 344 00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:05.240 doesn't matter. I think that's the key problem here. 345 00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:07.279 And what causes that? 346 00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:12.359 Well, I guess said the management stay politics. I mean 347 00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:13.839 that's the root cause, right, Hey. 348 00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:17.480 It's politics, yeah, because I mean listen, as you know, 349 00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:19.480 and I know for my dad being a cop for 350 00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:22.599 thirty years. Anybody who signs up for law enforcement they 351 00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:26.319 want to serve and protect and so when you don't 352 00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:29.640 see them doing that, it's almost always because the politicians 353 00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:32.599 are handcuffing them. And so what do you have right now? 354 00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:35.160 You have a situation where the lefts in charge in Colorado, 355 00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:37.960 the lefts in charge in Denver, the lefts in charge 356 00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:41.240 in a lot of places, and the left would make 357 00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:44.839 a human sacrifice of a police officer in a millisecond. 358 00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:48.319 So what does that mean If you're an officer out 359 00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:51.240 there and you want to make you want to make 360 00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:54.160 a stop, Well, every time you make a stop, now 361 00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:57.759 you put yourself in a situation where you may become 362 00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:00.480 a political human sacrifice to the left. 363 00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:03.119 You know, if somebody accuses. 364 00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:05.599 You of this or that, or you're facing this sudden 365 00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:10.039 danger and you have to use your weapon. So between 366 00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:14.640 cutting back on funding, understaffing, and not supporting law enforcement, 367 00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:17.559 it makes it very very hard for there to be 368 00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:19.160 any enforcement on the roadway. 369 00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:22.519 Well, Dan, my brother is one month in are about 370 00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:26.559 at last? Oh wow, yeah you so I have family 371 00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:28.799 and it too, and I'm actually thinking about joining them. 372 00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:29.960 Oh cool. 373 00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:32.920 You know what I'm worried about is that I would 374 00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:37.480 not be able to restrain myself from their policies. They 375 00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:39.440 have no chase policy. I think you have to commit 376 00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:43.880 a dangerous felony, something really bad for them to even 377 00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:45.759 chase you. And I get the chase laws. They're kind 378 00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:46.960 of dangerous for everybody in the road. 379 00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:47.400 I get it. 380 00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:51.319 And you know, they can kind of make this better 381 00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:54.039 by having those grapplers or putting a stop stick in 382 00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:55.799 front of the car when you pull them over so 383 00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:58.240 they don't run. There's a lot of different things you 384 00:20:58.319 --> 00:21:02.759 can do. But I still think that the states headed 385 00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:05.400 for disaster even in the next ten and twenty years. 386 00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:08.400 What changes the dynamic, I don't see anything that does. 387 00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:11.319 Yeah, no, I hear you, justin loud and clear. Thank 388 00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:13.559 you for that. Well, the only thing that can change 389 00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:18.559 the dynamic is electing more Republicans and fewer lefties, right, 390 00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:22.880 because the left in Colorado's a perfect example, is just 391 00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:27.359 ferociously anti cop and they show it in a thousand 392 00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:31.240 different ways. And guess what the only reason that we've 393 00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:35.200 had a society a prosperous society. Well, I can't say 394 00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:37.640 the only reason, but one of the key reasons has 395 00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:40.480 been men and women who are willing to risk dying 396 00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:43.440 to enforce the law and protect the rest of us. 397 00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:45.759 So when you get a crazy when you get a 398 00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:49.759 crazy party like the Democratic parties becoming Colorado, and they 399 00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:52.640 come in and they say, Okay, who's our enemy going 400 00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:54.079 to be? Well, it's going to be the men and 401 00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:58.000
