Speaker 1: This is Dan Kaplis and welcome to today's online podcast
Speaker 1: edition of The Dan Kaplis 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. Lots on the
Speaker 1: agenda Locally, we're talking about some accusations within the GOP
Speaker 1: regarding Representative Weinberg. We'll circle back to that one to
Speaker 1: get you taken a few things in particular nationally talking
Speaker 1: about Jeffrey Epstein. This cannot be allowed to just die.
Speaker 1: America deserves answers, has to be done in a fair
Speaker 1: way where the innocent aren't destroyed, but others America.
Speaker 2: Needs to know the truth.
Speaker 1: So we're talking as well about this idiotic leftist move
Speaker 1: under the guise of their green ideology to now permit
Speaker 1: this lane filtering motorcycles driving between cars, which they knew,
Speaker 1: of course, would turn into full lane splitting at full speed,
Speaker 1: which again shows a lack of respect for human life
Speaker 1: and has caused a lot of unnecessary carnage on the
Speaker 1: roadway and anxiety for other drivers. So covering all that,
Speaker 1: always a privileged Thursdays at about five oh five to
Speaker 1: go to the VIP line. Welcome doctor Catherine Wheeler. And
Speaker 1: doctor Wheeler helps us zero in from a medical perspective
Speaker 1: on some of the key issues surrounding abortion. And we
Speaker 1: talk often, obviously about different policy positions, and I've been
Speaker 1: privileged to play.
Speaker 2: A small role in the right to life movement for years.
Speaker 1: But doctor Whiller brings that medical perspective which is so helpful,
Speaker 1: and she has a special credibility because she used to
Speaker 1: perform abortions and is now very active in saving lives.
Speaker 1: So doctor welcome back to the Dan Kapli Show.
Speaker 3: Thank you Dan for having me back.
Speaker 1: We'll always look forward to it. And today's I think
Speaker 1: is highly timely. And that is the issue from a
Speaker 1: medical perspective of this argument that, hey, this cutting government
Speaker 1: funding now for planned parenthood, says planned parenthood will affect
Speaker 1: the safety net of essential women's healthcare. Can you address
Speaker 1: that from a medical perspective.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we talked a little bit about that last week.
Speaker 3: The fact that actually they're not providing the majority of healthcare.
Speaker 3: They're primarily an abortion industry. And so this what's being
Speaker 3: stirred up is this fear of more women are going
Speaker 3: to die if we don't have this safety net, which
Speaker 3: actually we do have in federally healthcare federally qualified healthcare
Speaker 3: clinics and rural healthcare clinics in Colorado, that's our safety net.
Speaker 3: They provide all of the medical care that women need. So,
Speaker 3: you know, this fear of women dying, that's really been
Speaker 3: the drum beat behind all of the legislation promoting abortion
Speaker 3: and the biggest, really the biggest narrative that gets people
Speaker 3: to vote for abortion because nobody wants women to die.
Speaker 3: But the truth is it does not increase maternal mortality
Speaker 3: to have unrestricted abortion. It actually goes the other direction probably,
Speaker 3: And so you know, probably the most important thing for
Speaker 3: people to know is that in the United States, we
Speaker 3: actually don't know how many women die from abortion, so
Speaker 3: we don't have a comparison at all. And in fact,
Speaker 3: abortion deaths are actually in most states, including Colorado, are
Speaker 3: rolled into maternity deaths, not separate, so they actually increase
Speaker 3: what maternal deaths look like, and we don't know how
Speaker 3: many of them are abortions. So we actually have to
Speaker 3: go to countries that have universal health coverage and can
Speaker 3: then follow outcomes of women comparing child bearing to abortion,
Speaker 3: and so these would be like Finland, Denmark, and what
Speaker 3: we know from those countries is that mortality is two
Speaker 3: to four times higher if a woman has an abortion.
Speaker 3: Then if a woman bears a child, and that goes
Speaker 3: from one hundred and eighty day through the pregnancy and
Speaker 3: end of the pregnancy through one hundred and eighty days,
Speaker 3: it goes out to twenty five years. So this is
Speaker 3: a significant impact. It goes up with every abortion she has.
Speaker 3: It increases mortality increases the further along in the pregnancy
Speaker 3: she is when she gets to the abortion. So if
Speaker 3: it was true that abortion actually decreases maternal mortality, we
Speaker 3: would expect that mortality would have gone up after Dobbs,
Speaker 3: but actually it went down twenty percent, which is fascinating.
Speaker 3: And when you compare it, you know, if it decreased
Speaker 3: mortality with maternal mortality, we'd expect United States to have
Speaker 3: a very low maternal mortality because we have expansive abortion
Speaker 3: rights all the way to the do date. But actually
Speaker 3: we're significantly higher than every other country that's developed, at
Speaker 3: least three times to four times. When it is in Europe.
Speaker 3: There's nothing in the literature that says it decreases mortality. Instead,
Speaker 3: it suggests it actually increases mortality to have unrestricted abortion.
Speaker 3: I think the last thing I'd say is thank god.
Speaker 3: The maternal mortality is actually incredibly rare. So in the
Speaker 3: United States, your risk of dying from child bearing is
Speaker 3: point zero one point eight percent. So you know, I
Speaker 3: can remember with my first pregnancy thinking, oh my gosh,
Speaker 3: I'm going to die because it's all.
Speaker 2: Over the news, right right, right, the two tenths of
Speaker 2: one percent.
Speaker 3: Yeah, extremely rare. So you know that's not an excuse
Speaker 3: for elective abortion. Every maternal death is an absolute tragedy.
Speaker 3: But again, thank god, it's very rare.
Speaker 1: Well, and it just comes back to and you thank
Speaker 1: you for documenting it from a medical standpoint, but it
Speaker 1: just comes back to the fact that the abortion industry,
Speaker 1: really from day one in America, has been based on
Speaker 1: a series of lives, right the original live matter, And
Speaker 1: I'm just talking medically here, medically disprovable core arguments in
Speaker 1: favor of legalized abortion, starting with it's a blob of tissue,
Speaker 1: it's not a living.
Speaker 3: Human exactly, and you know it's hidden in darkness. That's
Speaker 3: why they don't want data. So you know, especially like
Speaker 3: here in Colorado where it's completely unrestricted. They don't want
Speaker 3: us to know what's going on. It's all hidden. There's
Speaker 3: no regulation in Colorado. We don't know what happens in
Speaker 3: those facilities. There's no safety measures. And then that the
Speaker 3: creation of a procedes need this whole idea that women
Speaker 3: have to have an abortion availability in order to participate
Speaker 3: fully in society. And what kind of a society is that?
Speaker 3: You know, the alternative would be to step in and
Speaker 3: provide support if there's not a man stepping up to
Speaker 3: the plate. And that used to be our structure within
Speaker 3: our family and our churches and our communities. And wouldn't
Speaker 3: it be lovely to go back to that and really
Speaker 3: step into helping these women.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just as the argument used to be, oh, wait
Speaker 1: a second, we have to have slavery, we have to
Speaker 1: treat human life as somebody else's property in order for
Speaker 1: those landover owners to be able to fully participate in
Speaker 1: the economy. Right, That used to be the argument in
Speaker 1: favor of that, which is just as much a lie exactly.
Speaker 3: And you know, an economy is the right way to
Speaker 3: think about it, because you look at who is actually
Speaker 3: benefiting from abortion, and it's the abortion industry. And it
Speaker 3: may be people, including some men, who don't take responsibility.
Speaker 3: It includes corporations who say we'll pay for you to
Speaker 3: travel for abortion because we save money, but we won't
Speaker 3: provide a safety for you with three months of being
Speaker 3: hold with your child. You know, if you follow the money,
Speaker 3: you see who's benefiting, and it's not women.
Speaker 1: Doctor Catherine Wheeler, our guest in our final minute, Doctor,
Speaker 1: and again look forward to Everyday segment at five oh five.
Speaker 1: You made the comment earlier nobody wants women to die,
Speaker 1: which which reminded me of something that I don't think
Speaker 1: people focus on enough, which is the fact that the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party now, which is completely chained to abortion on
Speaker 1: demand through labor and delivery, the entire abortion industry, all
Speaker 1: those with the financial motive you just mentioned, they do
Speaker 1: want women to die. That they literally, they literally build
Speaker 1: their political party around policies they know will lead to what,
Speaker 1: on average, seven to seven hundred and fifty thousand females
Speaker 1: a year being killed in America. And so those who claim, oh,
Speaker 1: we're pro women, we're pro abortion, they are deliberately facilitating
Speaker 1: and advancing that the killing of seven hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: thousand females a year. How's that pro woman?
Speaker 3: You know, I have to think back to being a
Speaker 3: physician doing abortions, and I wonder how much in our
Speaker 3: political landscape is the same where you truly believe you're
Speaker 3: helping women and you don't think about that. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: so I don't know that they're intentionally wanting women to die.
Speaker 3: It's just they're not thinking through what abortion is. We
Speaker 3: talk about it as being choice. We don't talk about
Speaker 3: what an abortion is, which is the intentional taking of
Speaker 3: life of a human being. And so as long as
Speaker 3: you can call it choice and you'll have no mental image,
Speaker 3: you know. I think about Kamala Harris hitting the news
Speaker 3: because she went to a planned parenthood facility. Did she
Speaker 3: go in the back and watch an abortion? Absolutely not
Speaker 3: right now, all respectful when she does that.
Speaker 1: Well, you make such a great point, and it's one
Speaker 1: of the reasons I'm so hopeful and certain that that
Speaker 1: life is going to win in the end. Is it's
Speaker 1: winning and trending right now, and that is you have
Speaker 1: so many well intentioned people who support abortion on demand.
Speaker 1: When I made my comments, I'm thinking of the elected officials,
Speaker 1: political activists, people, the profit side of the industry.
Speaker 2: They know exactly what they're doing.
Speaker 1: But you have a lot of people supporting legalized abortion
Speaker 1: with this shallow, well intentioned thinking where they never even
Speaker 1: allow themselves to go deeper and think about points like
Speaker 1: my last one. And that gives me, you know, just
Speaker 1: this eternal hope which I think we see being fulfilled,
Speaker 1: that you're going to be able to persuade people to
Speaker 1: switch their position on that.
Speaker 3: Well, I do think the lies are finally being exposed.
Speaker 3: I mean we're seeing like an explosion of things being
Speaker 3: exposed this year from the harms of drug induced abortion,
Speaker 3: you know, finding that eleven percent of women are actually
Speaker 3: having serious side effects that not even including TATH that
Speaker 3: isn't included in that number, and the call that the
Speaker 3: FDA is probably going to look at that and actually
Speaker 3: deeper research. And you know, we're seeing the parenthood being defunded.
Speaker 3: And what we're going to see in the next years
Speaker 3: is people are going to be referred to true healthcare facilities,
Speaker 3: they're going to get real care. Mortality is not going
Speaker 3: to go up, they're going to get better care. So
Speaker 3: I think the lives will keep being exposed.
Speaker 1: I'm very thankful for that, well said doctor, and look
Speaker 1: forward to next week.
Speaker 3: Thank you very much.
Speaker 1: You take care of that? Is that doctor Catherine Wheeler.
Speaker 1: You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 4: And now back to the Dan Taplass Show podcast.
Speaker 2: Just one of my all time favorite songs. That's great.
Speaker 5: Yeah, soa staying at Red Rocks not that long, agobout
Speaker 5: a month? Really, it's still incredible.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how's the walker working of?
Speaker 4: You know he was holding it together pretty well.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: You know, singers of a certain age lose that high
Speaker 5: register and that snow exceptional wasting, but still all they lose.
Speaker 2: But it Yeah, No, I love that.
Speaker 1: I always, yeah, think of my wife when I hear that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's fantastic.
Speaker 1: Three or three someone three two five five the number
Speaker 1: text d A and five seven seven three nine. Thank
Speaker 1: you again to Sheriff Steve Riams and Heidi good All
Speaker 1: for filling in while I've been out fighting all the these
Speaker 1: legal battles. I happened to be a trial lawyer and
Speaker 1: we just had an awful lot of trials going on.
Speaker 1: And I just as somebody had asked in a text, Dan,
Speaker 1: why so many trials?
Speaker 2: I love it. I just love it.
Speaker 1: It's a privilege, it's an honor and to be able
Speaker 1: to go in there argue a righteous case to a jury.
Speaker 2: That is a real high.
Speaker 1: But going to be with you for probably six solid
Speaker 1: weeks here before we start a month long trial on
Speaker 1: September second, So looking forward to that time together. Three
Speaker 1: three someone three eight two five five text d A
Speaker 1: N five seven seven three nine. Here's what we're talking about, though.
Speaker 1: If you have something on your mind, fire at will locally. Hey,
Speaker 1: we're talking about these allegations against GOP Representative Weinberg, as
Speaker 1: he had been vying for a leadership position. And so
Speaker 1: we'll cycle back to that at some point, talking about
Speaker 1: the Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 2: Situation.
Speaker 1: And again I feel it's vital that would not just
Speaker 1: be dropped and that America get the truth about anybody
Speaker 1: involved in anything nefarious. And then the challenge is protecting
Speaker 1: the innocent and all of that right, but it cannot
Speaker 1: just be allowed to drop. I think first is a
Speaker 1: matter just of justice, but second of confidence in our
Speaker 1: justice system. So I threw out some ideas how we
Speaker 1: could come up with a fair process, and for me,
Speaker 1: it boils down to, hey, let's get two or three
Speaker 1: highly respected former law enforcement officials and put those people
Speaker 1: in charge of going through all the files and determining
Speaker 1: what should be publicly released and what shouldn't be, starting
Speaker 1: of course with what can be legally released, and then
Speaker 1: going to what would be fair to release, because if
Speaker 1: somebody had an otherwise innocent contact with them, like a
Speaker 1: business deal, you don't want to destroy that life. If
Speaker 1: you've got somebody who's names in there because they were victim,
Speaker 1: obviously they need to be protected if they don't want
Speaker 1: their name released. And if you have somebody who went
Speaker 1: to the darn Island, then I think the assumption should
Speaker 1: be that's going to be released. Three or three someone
Speaker 1: three eight two five five. Also talking about this insanity
Speaker 1: on our roadways right now, right where we talked about
Speaker 1: it at the time. The Left forced this law through
Speaker 1: under their green ideology of allowing motorcycles to drive between
Speaker 1: lanes of cars. And you experience it probably every day
Speaker 1: like I do, or at least every other day, and
Speaker 1: it's pure insanity, and it's inflicting all this unnecessary stress
Speaker 1: out on the roadway for everybody, unnecessary death and injury.
Speaker 1: And I know you get ticked off, like I was
Speaker 1: coming back from meeting in the Springs today and I'm
Speaker 1: in the express lane coming back up to Denver, and
Speaker 1: I get somebody on a bike.
Speaker 2: Cutting between me and the car in.
Speaker 1: The left hand lane of North Found twenty five and
Speaker 1: he's got to be going one hundred and ten. And
Speaker 1: first you get ticked, right, But then the second thing
Speaker 1: you think is that's somebody's son. You know, that's somebody's son,
Speaker 1: and that person might be dead two miles away, and
Speaker 1: it's just it's tragic, and it's wrong, and it's unfair
Speaker 1: to drivers. It's unfair to drivers to be inflicting that
Speaker 1: kind of additional danger and stress. And who does it serve?
Speaker 1: Because you know, I used to ride before a crash,
Speaker 1: and I know we have a lot of professional, responsible
Speaker 1: riders in the audience. Who does this really serve? And
Speaker 1: I get the lane filtering, true lane filtering. If you're
Speaker 1: stopped at an intersection and you don't want to be
Speaker 1: you don't want to be on your bike stuck between
Speaker 1: two cars where you might get rear ended and crushed,
Speaker 1: so then you just want to filter when it stopped,
Speaker 1: you know, those few feet up between the cars up
Speaker 1: to the crosswalk. I get that safety maneuver, so then
Speaker 1: you're protected from being rear ended. I get it, but
Speaker 1: that's not what we're talking about.
Speaker 2: And the left knew that.
Speaker 1: They knew once they passed this kind of lane quote filtering,
Speaker 1: you'd get this full lane splitting we have right now.
Speaker 1: So what should we do about that? Yeah, he's here's
Speaker 1: a text I don't even understand, so I can't read it.
Speaker 1: Here's another one I don't understand, so I can't read it.
Speaker 2: Is this me Ryan?
Speaker 1: Or is this a couple of textures? Maybe it's the
Speaker 1: same person. Those last two texts we got, What do
Speaker 1: they mean? Well, this one says Dan. The lane splitting
Speaker 1: issue has not changed. The crazies have been doing it
Speaker 1: for years and will continue to do it. It is
Speaker 1: illegal and carries great risk. It is self regulating as
Speaker 1: the practitioners die or are disabled. Wait a second, my friend,
Speaker 1: the texture it is dramatically increased since the law was
Speaker 1: changed to allow lane filtering, at least where I'm driving,
Speaker 1: and I'm driving most places around the state. Ryan, Is
Speaker 1: this a figment of my imagination?
Speaker 5: No, and I knew this would happen, and you knew
Speaker 5: this would happen, and we talked about it when it
Speaker 5: first implemented. That people aren't going to look to, you know,
Speaker 5: parse through the fine details of what's what's filtering, what's splitting,
Speaker 5: what's the difference.
Speaker 4: You can do this, but you can't do that.
Speaker 5: All I'm seeing are these cross rockets and these bikes
Speaker 5: going through, not the hogs, not the Indian motorcycles, right,
Speaker 5: not the harlest right. And they're just like you said,
Speaker 5: one hundred and ten miles an hour. I see it
Speaker 5: all the time.
Speaker 1: Too, yeah, yeah, And it's so interesting. So many of
Speaker 1: the cars you see out there right now going over
Speaker 1: one hundred weaving in and out of traffic, those are
Speaker 1: our cars that probably cost somebody four hundred dollars, right,
Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to be a leitist or anything.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm just being realistic about a problem we have
Speaker 1: going on out there right now because the left's undermining
Speaker 1: law enforcement, doesn't support them, and we have less enforcement.
Speaker 4: You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Texter Dan, Yes, all in caps, please reverse the insane
Speaker 1: motorcycle lane filtering law. It's crazy enough watching for distracted
Speaker 1: drivers wandering in their lanes. Now we could be ambushed
Speaker 1: by a motorcycle. This is a danger to the motorcyclist
Speaker 1: as well as drivers not paying attention. Thanks for addressing
Speaker 1: this crazy law, my pleasure. It's insane and you know,
Speaker 1: as a driver myself, listen, it wouldn't matter that it
Speaker 1: wouldn't be my fault. Obviously. If I don't see one
Speaker 1: of these crazy lane splitters, that's somebody's child who's going
Speaker 1: to get killed in that crash. So it's just so
Speaker 1: much unnecessary stress out on the roadway, totally unnecessary, and
Speaker 1: it just comes back to the left. They don't just
Speaker 1: care about human life. This is such a waste of
Speaker 1: innocent human life and just adding so much more danger
Speaker 1: to the roadway. Let's go to Justin and Littleton. You're
Speaker 1: on the Dan Kaplas show.
Speaker 6: Welcome, Hey Dan. I think we talked about this probably
Speaker 6: a year, eight months, nine months ago, Brobab the last
Speaker 6: summer you have the same topic. I don't even say
Speaker 6: it's lane splitting. I think it's lack of law enforcement
Speaker 6: the roads. And I would boil down to the not
Speaker 6: the cops on the road, but their management. But it's
Speaker 6: just nobody enforced. It's the speed limits cars, motorcycles, it
Speaker 6: doesn't matter. I think that's the key problem here.
Speaker 2: And what causes that?
Speaker 6: Well, I guess said the management stay politics. I mean
Speaker 6: that's the root cause, right, Hey.
Speaker 1: It's politics, yeah, because I mean listen, as you know,
Speaker 1: and I know for my dad being a cop for
Speaker 1: thirty years. Anybody who signs up for law enforcement they
Speaker 1: want to serve and protect and so when you don't
Speaker 1: see them doing that, it's almost always because the politicians
Speaker 1: are handcuffing them. And so what do you have right now?
Speaker 1: You have a situation where the lefts in charge in Colorado,
Speaker 1: the lefts in charge in Denver, the lefts in charge
Speaker 1: in a lot of places, and the left would make
Speaker 1: a human sacrifice of a police officer in a millisecond.
Speaker 1: So what does that mean If you're an officer out
Speaker 1: there and you want to make you want to make
Speaker 1: a stop, Well, every time you make a stop, now
Speaker 1: you put yourself in a situation where you may become
Speaker 1: a political human sacrifice to the left.
Speaker 2: You know, if somebody accuses.
Speaker 1: You of this or that, or you're facing this sudden
Speaker 1: danger and you have to use your weapon. So between
Speaker 1: cutting back on funding, understaffing, and not supporting law enforcement,
Speaker 1: it makes it very very hard for there to be
Speaker 1: any enforcement on the roadway.
Speaker 6: Well, Dan, my brother is one month in are about
Speaker 6: at last? Oh wow, yeah you so I have family
Speaker 6: and it too, and I'm actually thinking about joining them.
Speaker 2: Oh cool.
Speaker 6: You know what I'm worried about is that I would
Speaker 6: not be able to restrain myself from their policies. They
Speaker 6: have no chase policy. I think you have to commit
Speaker 6: a dangerous felony, something really bad for them to even
Speaker 6: chase you. And I get the chase laws. They're kind
Speaker 6: of dangerous for everybody in the road.
Speaker 3: I get it.
Speaker 6: And you know, they can kind of make this better
Speaker 6: by having those grapplers or putting a stop stick in
Speaker 6: front of the car when you pull them over so
Speaker 6: they don't run. There's a lot of different things you
Speaker 6: can do. But I still think that the states headed
Speaker 6: for disaster even in the next ten and twenty years.
Speaker 6: What changes the dynamic, I don't see anything that does.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I hear you, justin loud and clear. Thank
Speaker 1: you for that. Well, the only thing that can change
Speaker 1: the dynamic is electing more Republicans and fewer lefties, right,
Speaker 1: because the left in Colorado's a perfect example, is just
Speaker 1: ferociously anti cop and they show it in a thousand
Speaker 1: different ways. And guess what the only reason that we've
Speaker 1: had a society a prosperous society. Well, I can't say
Speaker 1: the only reason, but one of the key reasons has
Speaker 1: been men and women who are willing to risk dying
Speaker 1: to enforce the law and protect the rest of us.
Speaker 1: So when you get a crazy when you get a
Speaker 1: crazy party like the Democratic parties becoming Colorado, and they
Speaker 1: come in and they say, Okay, who's our enemy going
Speaker 1: to be? Well, it's going to be the men and
Speaker 1: women who's willing to risk their lives to enforce the
Speaker 1: law so we can have a society. Yeah, they've they
Speaker 1: have made cops their enemy, and no society can survive
Speaker 1: that long term. And look at the price Colorado's already paying.
Speaker 1: And the example we're talking about today is on the
Speaker 1: roadways where you have far less enforcement, and we all
Speaker 1: know what that has led to. And don't blame the
Speaker 1: officers because they're still out there risking their lives.
Speaker 2: Blame the politicians.
Speaker 1: But is there any doubt, Ryan, is there any doubt
Speaker 1: in your mind you're on the roads all the time
Speaker 1: that there is very very very little enforcement.
Speaker 4: I don't see it, and I'm on most of the
Speaker 4: major arteries.
Speaker 2: Most of the time C.
Speaker 4: Four seventy I twenty five I seventy. Rarely do I
Speaker 4: see a car or.
Speaker 5: Motorcycle pulled over by law enforcement that could be just
Speaker 5: surely a numbers game. I'm sure you know there are
Speaker 5: people like Sheriff Steve Rings that might be able to
Speaker 5: speak to that as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you can compare it to your experiences before, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, we've all been driving these same streets. There's
Speaker 1: a lot less enforcement than their works was ten years.
Speaker 5: I can tell you I rented a car upon my
Speaker 5: return home to Michigan for Independence Day and that holiday extended.
Speaker 2: And I know.
Speaker 4: It was a holiday too, but there are a lot.
Speaker 5: Of speed traps by the Michigan State Police set up
Speaker 5: on I ninety four as such.
Speaker 1: And I don't know Michigan well, but but I know
Speaker 1: the left, you know, state level and Denver, et cetera.
Speaker 2: The left that controls things.
Speaker 1: They are anti cop, sure right, anti cop means anti enforcement. Hell,
Speaker 1: they don't want the sex assault laws enforced everywhere. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's madness from the left right now with some
Speaker 1: of the stuff you see with them cutting penalties for
Speaker 1: people committed of you know, people who commit sex assaults,
Speaker 1: et cetera. Not in every case, but in way too many.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's madness. So don't blame the cops, you know,
Speaker 1: blame the politicians. But it's caused a lot of unnecessary
Speaker 1: carnage and it's going to keep doing that, which brings
Speaker 1: us back to the age old question in Colorado? Will
Speaker 1: it ever get so bad that people start electing Republicans.
Speaker 2: Statewide and not Democrats?
Speaker 1: Three all three someone three eight two five five the number,
Speaker 1: Text d An five seven seven three nine text her, Dan,
Speaker 1: get your wife to vote gop l L.
Speaker 2: Listen.
Speaker 1: My wife is a strong, intelligent independent person. I mean
Speaker 1: John McCain. His folks asked her to host a town
Speaker 1: hall for John McCain, a televised town hall. She did
Speaker 1: that because she supported John McCain. She wasn't going to
Speaker 1: be caged by any political party, Dan Crouch.
Speaker 2: Rockets only get caught if they want to. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Interesting, And I think like the one that lane split
Speaker 1: today on northbound I twenty five. That guy had to
Speaker 1: be going one hundred and twenty or so. And what
Speaker 1: do you think the life expectancy is there?
Speaker 2: Dan?
Speaker 1: You can't catch a bike doing one hundred and fifty. Okay,
Speaker 1: obviously you've got some people out there who are riding
Speaker 1: that way. And as Ryan said, this isn't the true riders, right,
Speaker 1: These aren't the people on the hardleys, et cetera. It's
Speaker 1: usually the crotch rockets. Dan, did you catch the trucker
Speaker 1: that just about killed your daughter? Thank you for that
Speaker 1: follow up? We have not yet and a quick up.
Speaker 1: Do I have time for the update? Yeah, here's the update.
Speaker 1: The twenty second background on the story is that, you know,
Speaker 1: as you often hear me say on air, I'm always
Speaker 1: preaching to you when the light turn screen, don't go
Speaker 1: look both ways when the light turns green. Because of
Speaker 1: this lack of enforcement, you know, because of these politicians,
Speaker 1: we have so many people running red lights at full speed.
Speaker 1: Nowt don't go automatically when the light turns green. So
Speaker 1: we've drilled this into our kids also. So we've got
Speaker 1: the video. My daughter is stopped and the light turns green.
Speaker 1: She doesn't go. Like two full beats later, a full
Speaker 1: eighteen wheeler, fully loaded, fully loaded, blows that red light.
Speaker 1: A solid red blows that red light. I couldn't tell
Speaker 1: the speed off the video, my daughter said she thought
Speaker 1: going probably seventy five and forty and if she'd gone
Speaker 1: when the light turned green, she was going to be dead.
Speaker 1: So our challenge has been tracking down that truck because
Speaker 1: the video you cannot read the dot and the rest
Speaker 1: on the side of the truck. So I turned it
Speaker 1: over to our experts because I do a lot of
Speaker 1: semi cases and even this most advanced technology cannot cannot
Speaker 1: pull the identity off the side of the truck. So
Speaker 1: now we're pursuing other means to try to track down
Speaker 1: this trucker. But thank you, thank you very much for
Speaker 1: that follow up, because you know, we don't want anybody
Speaker 1: else to be killed by this person, and that company
Speaker 1: needs to know about it. Dan lane splitting and no
Speaker 1: helmet law dumb Coloraden's listen the no helmet I get
Speaker 1: the arguments there, but lane splitting, I don't get that
Speaker 1: at all. If you've got an argument in favor of
Speaker 1: lane splitting, I want to hear that lane filtering if
Speaker 1: it's truly limited. Lane filtering just within a few feet
Speaker 1: of an intersection, completely stopped traffic so the bike's not
Speaker 1: subject to getting rear ended as it sits behind a car.
Speaker 1: I get that, but that's not what the Left was
Speaker 1: after here in Colorado. They were after full lane splitting,
Speaker 1: and they knew that's what they were going to get.
Speaker 1: Why do you think they wanted that? Anyway, I'll get
Speaker 1: to some more of these texts here on the Dan.
Speaker 2: Kapla Show.
Speaker 4: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Yeah, problem is they're inflicting a lot of danger for
Speaker 1: innocent people. We're talking about this insane lane splitting going
Speaker 1: on in Colorado right now, where you have just this
Speaker 1: explosion of motorcyclists, you know, who are driving between lanes
Speaker 1: of traffic, moving lanes of traffic at high speed. So
Speaker 1: talking about all that, and it's always gone on to
Speaker 1: a limited extent, but with the Left passing this law
Speaker 1: allowing lane filtering, meaning driving between carrs when traffic stopped,
Speaker 1: what we've had is the explosion of lane splitting. You've
Speaker 1: experienced at I experienced it almost every day and it
Speaker 1: is insane. And yeah, okay, so the biker wants to
Speaker 1: risk her life for his life, but they're endangering so
Speaker 1: many others in the process and it's wrong. And you know,
Speaker 1: we've always got to throw the qualifier in there. I've
Speaker 1: never seen it. Ryan, You've never seen it. We're not
Speaker 1: talking about the serious, responsible riders out there, right, We're
Speaker 1: talking almost always about these crowch rockets. You're not seeing
Speaker 1: the Harleys, the Indians, et cetera. You're you're seeing these
Speaker 1: crowch rockets, and it's it's leading to so much tragedy.
Speaker 2: Tim and Westminster.
Speaker 1: You're on the Dan Kapla show. We don't curse the darkness.
Speaker 1: We light a candle. What's the fix?
Speaker 2: My friend?
Speaker 7: Well, gosh, hi Dan, I'm a little, you know, nervous
Speaker 7: about being, you know, with you here. I listen to
Speaker 7: you all the time. I'm a native of Colorado. I'm
Speaker 7: a boxer, a coach, a martial artist. So I got
Speaker 7: that in touch with you. So because of that, I traveled.
Speaker 7: I'm a referee, and I traveled, and I go from
Speaker 7: one corner of the state to the other. And I'm
Speaker 7: just gonna so let me just before I say this,
Speaker 7: I'm going to say that right before I called you,
Speaker 7: you were talking about the splitting and the filtering, which
Speaker 7: I have no idea where it came from. I don't
Speaker 7: remember any of us ever having it on a ballot
Speaker 7: because I'm a registered voter, and we never voted on this.
Speaker 7: To me, seems like part of californication or californication. So,
Speaker 7: uh but let me just let me just backtrack here. So,
Speaker 7: so I was driving down the road here, I'm driving
Speaker 7: down Evans and I look over and there's a dirt
Speaker 7: bike and a kid on a dirt bike. I don't
Speaker 7: know if he's a kid, because I can't tell. He's
Speaker 7: got a helmet on, he's got the pads on the
Speaker 7: shoulder pads and the plastic armor of a dirt bike guy.
Speaker 7: And there's no license plate, and there's no blinkers and mirrors,
Speaker 7: and he's sitting at the stop light. He's going to
Speaker 7: make a left. I'm looking at my you know, does
Speaker 7: this guy pay for his license plate and pay the
Speaker 7: taxes to be on a road that we pay? They
Speaker 7: keep the potholes free, you know, you know, right? And
Speaker 7: and so that's what that's what I was like. And
Speaker 7: then what what caught me was is the other day
Speaker 7: I've seen these runningade motorcycle people and they're not even
Speaker 7: like on these dirt bikes even they're like, I don't
Speaker 7: even know if they're When I was a kid, we
Speaker 7: called them tote goats, and they were like these homemade motorcycles,
Speaker 7: and and there are all these these running guys and
Speaker 7: there's there's no license plates on them, and they're they're
Speaker 7: little small bikes and they jump out on the road
Speaker 7: in front end they boys out and there's no license
Speaker 7: plates and all. And I'm like, what is this. That's
Speaker 7: what prompted me, you know, to call you yeah, right right,
Speaker 7: And then so so I can said, I travel for
Speaker 7: my work. And I was on my way home from
Speaker 7: Pueblo a couple of weeks ago. And this is probably
Speaker 7: midnight because the things I do, and probably at eleven
Speaker 7: o'clock twelve o'clock at night, and and then I have
Speaker 7: to drive back to the Metro. And I got right
Speaker 7: past maybe I guess, Castle Rock. And I don't know
Speaker 7: what these cars. I'm gonna call them fast and furious
Speaker 7: at cars or drifters or something. And as I got
Speaker 7: through Castle Rock and I was headed up the monument
Speaker 7: there whatever the pass is right there or whatever from
Speaker 7: Castle Rock or not Monument or whatever the little hill
Speaker 7: is from there, these lit up cars just went past me.
Speaker 7: And I'm doing seventy eight, almost eighty because it's seventy
Speaker 7: five and they blazed past me and I was like
Speaker 7: wow and okay, and then immediately ten to fifteen of
Speaker 7: these frock rocket bis like you're.
Speaker 2: Talking right in between me.
Speaker 7: And then we're all going seventy five and these we're
Speaker 7: going ninety one hundred. One of those guys goes down
Speaker 7: and I swerved to evade there, and I hit another
Speaker 7: car and that kid, that car's got a mom with
Speaker 7: a baby.
Speaker 3: In and in over here, and you know, so, I guess.
Speaker 7: So My thing is, Dan, is, how did how can
Speaker 7: this be where we none of us got to vote
Speaker 7: on it. I have relatives in California.
Speaker 2: Yeah, can I jump in for a second because we're at.
Speaker 3: The end of the show and Rode, Yeah, gotcha, I
Speaker 3: got you.
Speaker 7: You go go, Dan, Hey, thanks foring me talking.
Speaker 1: Hey, thanks man, appreciate the call. And what Tim's talking about.
Speaker 1: You've probably experienced right where you get these big packs
Speaker 1: and it's we did vote for it. Unfortunately, when when
Speaker 1: we not we, not you, not me, not Tim, but
Speaker 1: but when Colorado elected these lefties to office because they
Speaker 1: are anti cop, they are anti law enforcement, and what
Speaker 1: are you going to get? Then you're not going to
Speaker 1: have the law enforce because they're undermining the police. And
Speaker 1: what's going to happen then you're gonna have this breakdown
Speaker 1: in order that we're seeing in so many different ways,
Speaker 1: and this is one way that it manifests with this
Speaker 1: craziness on the roadway to the point where because of
Speaker 1: the lefties who rule so many places around the state
Speaker 1: and the state, you have these wild mobs that take
Speaker 1: different forms and in this case on these bikes. And
Speaker 1: we're not talking about responsible motorcycle riders or anything like that,
Speaker 1: or responsible big motorcycle groups, but we're talking about these
Speaker 1: lawless mobs. Yeah, that's what we get.
Speaker 2: And the only way we can change it.
Speaker 1: Is electing people who support law enforcement, and not just
Speaker 1: law enforcement officers, but the actual enforcement of the law.
Speaker 2: It's insane, man.
Speaker 1: But it'll be interesting to see at what points the
Speaker 1: people of Colorado say enough's enough. You know, we just
Speaker 1: we're not going to just keep electing these same crazy
Speaker 1: lefties every time.
Speaker 2: Ryan, great to see again, my friend.
Speaker 1: Thank you for holding down the Ford share of Steve
Speaker 1: heidie ganall as well while I was off at my
Speaker 1: latest wonderful courtroom adventure. Kelly, you're the best and Delokford
