Speaker 2: right kind of weather today for good Friday, Right, it's
Speaker 2: just kind of gloomy and sad. And then tomorrow, Son,
Speaker 2: I'll be peeking out probably by midday or so, at
Speaker 2: least in the front range in Colorado. And then Sunday, Yeah,
Speaker 2: should be just a glorious sunny day. And I know
Speaker 2: you may look at the temperature and say sixty one,
Speaker 2: but listen, we know here if you have been a
Speaker 2: live in Colorado, you know sixty one if you don't
Speaker 2: have a lot of wind, is like a perfect temperature.
Speaker 2: But the big thing is blue sky, sunshine for Easter.
Speaker 2: Sunday should be dried out. Then I think for kiddies,
Speaker 2: if any of them are having like outside egg hunts
Speaker 2: or something like that, we're doing our egg hunt inside.

Speaker 3: or eight people or twenty five people praying for them,
Speaker 3: and they survive some very dangerous circumstances. And later the
Speaker 3: missionaries were back on furlough, they were in a church
Speaker 3: and said, we were the we survived this, and we
Speaker 3: were the missionaries there and the reason why we were
Speaker 3: not killed is because the bad guy said, we were
Speaker 3: surrounded by these huge gentlemen, and we didn't want to
Speaker 3: mess with them.

Speaker 9: And what it was we had fansized particles that we
Speaker 9: were heating.
Speaker 10: Up to.
Speaker 8: Not between nine hundred and eleven hundred degree fahrenheit, and
Speaker 8: it acted like fluid. And it was supposed to be
Speaker 8: the whole thing was supposed.
Speaker 9: To be under vacuum, especially when.
Speaker 8: We were opening it up to take a test of
Speaker 8: what we were burning in there, and it was under
Speaker 8: pressure and the cap exploded off and it was spewing
Speaker 8: out what looked like lava. And I was shouting at
Speaker 8: my other lab techs, get back, get back, but I
Speaker 8: was the only one in front of it, and one
Speaker 8: little fansized particle was all that hit me.
Speaker 11: Wow.

Speaker 12: It burns the.
Speaker 8: Soles of my shoes when I was, you know, trying
Speaker 8: to get them make sure everyone else was safe.

Speaker 2: you doing?
Speaker 13: Hey Dan? Good?
Speaker 4: Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So I'm a police officer of twenty two years. Sorry,
Speaker 4: I choked up every hell.
Speaker 2: Appreciate your service.
Speaker 4: And uh, this is just in my first few years
Speaker 4: on and uh, I was working swing shift and we
Speaker 4: had the serial robbers that would come out every so often.
Speaker 4: This is usually you know, late at night, ten thirty
Speaker 4: eleven o'clock, they go out hit a liquor store when
Speaker 4: part of town, and they would go across town hit
Speaker 4: another one, knowing that a lot of the cops are
Speaker 4: going to be tied up over at the other scene.
Speaker 4: Check in the area and all that. So they did that.
Speaker 4: This robbery call comes out at this liquor store, and
Speaker 4: this other officer decided, well, I'm going to sit tight here,
Speaker 4: and he goes to the nearest one kind of hides
Speaker 4: in the shadows, and sure enough, these guys come out
Speaker 4: and he starts chasing them. They run into this apartment
Speaker 4: complex where they ditch their car and they take off
Speaker 4: on foot. So tons of cops are going into this
Speaker 4: apartment complex and I had over there, can't even get
Speaker 4: in because of all the police cars blocking it and everything.
Speaker 4: So I'm just right on the kind of the perimeter
Speaker 4: of the complex and there's this brick wall that surrounds it,
Speaker 4: and me and a couple other officers are standing there
Speaker 4: kind of figuring out where it is that we need
Speaker 4: to go, and one of them just says, well, man,
Speaker 4: I just can't believing he couldn't have gotten too far.
Speaker 4: And I had one of those gift of fear moments
Speaker 4: that you've ever read that book, where it was just like,
Speaker 4: holy cownt. I grabbed my flashlight and shined it over
Speaker 4: where the wall kind of came to a corner, and
Speaker 4: it was real dark, and there was the guy that
Speaker 4: crouched down done ten from safely got him into custody.
Speaker 4: So I go home after ship that night and I
Speaker 4: don't sleep a wink. So I'm laying there and the
Speaker 4: next morning, my wife wakes up and cuddles up next
Speaker 4: to me and you know, says, you know how you doing.
Speaker 4: And I relay the story to her and keep in mind, shoot,
Speaker 4: at the time, she's pregnant with our first child. So
Speaker 4: she's going to bed at like eight thirty every night,
Speaker 4: and like, I tell her the story and she's like, well,
Speaker 4: what time was that. I said it was about eleven
Speaker 4: thirty last night. She's like, oh my gosh. I was
Speaker 4: lying in bed. I couldn't get to sleep and I
Speaker 4: felt God say you need to pray for your husband.
Speaker 11: Wow, she said.
Speaker 4: So she gave a quick prayer and said, wherever he is,
Speaker 4: keep him safe.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 4: And she said that was at eleven thirty last night,
Speaker 4: and then she rolled over and went to sleep right afterwards.

Speaker 2: one of mine. And you know, as as you'll see,
Speaker 2: like with so many of our callers, there's no other
Speaker 2: explanation than proof of God. You're on the Dan Capitlas Show.
Speaker 14: And now back to the Dankaplass Show podcast.
Speaker 2: Okay, proof of God. Those moments in your life. I'd
Speaker 2: like to share a couple, but I'm not going to

Speaker 2: Let's go to Brian in Fort Collins. You're on the
Speaker 2: Dan Capitalis Show.
Speaker 12: Welcome, Hello, Hello, Fie, great show, Thank you, thank you. Yeah,
Speaker 12: I'd like to listen to you.
Speaker 2: Appreciate it.
Speaker 12: I have five and a half years ago, I had
Speaker 12: a poof of God's story. I was in the military.
Speaker 12: I haven't ran since I was in the military, and
Speaker 12: I've had a sit down job for the last thirty
Speaker 12: two years. And I was obese. I was about two
Speaker 12: hundred and ten fifteen pounds and I'm five seven, I'm
Speaker 12: fifty six now. I'm fifty six now. And I went
Speaker 12: to the doctor for my checkup and she goes, Brian,
Speaker 12: you're obese. You're gonna start getting health issues if you
Speaker 12: don't do something about it. And she looked me straight
Speaker 12: in the eye and told me you got to do
Speaker 12: something about it. Well, months before that, I was having
Speaker 12: dreams about every other day, twice two three times a week,
Speaker 12: and of the Peloton tread and it was specifically the
Speaker 12: Peloton tread. It wasn't any just any tread. Yeah, the treadmill.
Speaker 12: And I couldn't figure out why am I having dreams
Speaker 12: about the tread Why is this? So I was walking
Speaker 12: out of the doctor's office and I was like, Oh,
Speaker 12: I got to do something, and that's popped in my head,
Speaker 12: that's why and having the dreams. So before I got home,
Speaker 12: I called Peloton ordered to tread and I been running
Speaker 12: ever since. I lost about sixty five.
Speaker 5: Pounds that I've kept off for the past five and
Speaker 5: a half.
Speaker 12: Years, and I think it's saved my life because all
Speaker 12: my I don't have to tick blood pressure medication anymore,
Speaker 12: all my levels and everything are down nice.
Speaker 4: And that just proved to me what.
Speaker 12: I already knew any new knew anyway, But it just
Speaker 12: it was my proof of God moment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, man, appreciate the call. Thank you for that.
Speaker 2: I personally believe very deeply in guardian angels. That sounds
Speaker 2: like a Guardian angels sing to me. Let's go do Pat.
Speaker 2: You're on the dan Kaplas Show. Welcome Pat.
Speaker 11: Hey, mister Dan, how you doing? Remembering? Yes, I text you.
Speaker 11: I left your message one time about your PSA. You
Speaker 11: left when I went up to an intersection and you
Speaker 11: always say look both ways before you go through a
Speaker 11: red light, even if it's green. Right, And I'm sitting
Speaker 11: at the intersection. I start the head out and I
Speaker 11: stopped and remember what you said. I look both ways
Speaker 11: and this lady came sliding right through the intersection.
Speaker 2: I brought me Wow.
Speaker 11: And it's all because of what you said. Not do
Speaker 11: it every time I make my wife do it, and
Speaker 11: I appreciate it. I'm still puddling up about it.
Speaker 2: Man, you just made my year like my whole life.
Speaker 2: Thank you for that. No, I thank you for seeing that,
Speaker 2: and I'm glad you're with it.
Speaker 11: I'll never forget you.
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you Pat. That side, Amen to that, Amen,
Speaker 2: thank you Pat. That just that makes my That makes
Speaker 2: my life right there. And what Pat's talking about is
Speaker 2: is often on the show. I just say to people,
Speaker 2: please tell your whole family tonight and remind him a
Speaker 2: couple of times a week when the light turns green,
Speaker 2: look both ways before you go. Because so many people
Speaker 2: are running red lights now at high speeds. You cannot
Speaker 2: trust that green light. You gotta look both ways first.
Speaker 2: So how cool have Pat to call in and share
Speaker 2: that story. Let's go to Dennis in Morrison. You're on
Speaker 2: the Dan Capitlis. She'll welcome Dennis.
Speaker 7: Hi Dan, Happy Easter. Thanks being my call. I'd like
Speaker 7: to tell a quick story about my mom. We all
Speaker 7: grew up with the best moms. I know you did,
Speaker 7: I know I did. My mom was a police officer
Speaker 7: in nineteen forty five. She worked for PASTENAPD and she
Speaker 7: later married My father was He worked for the District
Speaker 7: Attorney's office in LA and she had seven kids. My
Speaker 7: mom was very religious. They sent all seven of us
Speaker 7: to Catholic school. Back in the fifties and the sixties.
Speaker 7: My mom passed away fairly young, and I had to
Speaker 7: go to an Italian member of our parish who was
Speaker 7: supposedly connected to get my mom. My mom's services at
Speaker 7: her church of fifty years and buried in Forest Lawn
Speaker 7: up in West Comina, California. Well, everything happened.
Speaker 11: Well.
Speaker 7: My wife and I were driving eastbound at sixty five
Speaker 7: miles an hour on the ten Freeway. We were going
Speaker 7: right by the gates of Forest Lawn. It's a big,
Speaker 7: big cemetery, and we were talking about my mom. I
Speaker 7: looked when I left my wife will look to her left,
Speaker 7: and right outside my passenger window was a white dove,
Speaker 7: oh man, flying with our car. And I'll never forget it.
Speaker 5: And and there she was.
Speaker 7: There was that word that my mom made it and
Speaker 7: uh uh yeah, I thought to share that with you.
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you man. That is so awesome, Thank you
Speaker 2: for that. Appreciate that. I mean, how do you explain that.
Speaker 2: I mean, one of the chances there's a white dove
Speaker 2: riding with their car, there is that is so incredibly cool.
Speaker 2: Let me try to squeeze in Tracy and long mantre
Speaker 2: on the dan Kaplis. She'll welcome Tracy.
Speaker 11: Hey, what's going on there?
Speaker 14: I dream?
Speaker 2: How about you?
Speaker 13: You know what I mean? They call it that. You know,
Speaker 13: there's a lot of dreaming going know. I A'm saying
Speaker 13: your country song in a long time? He please do
Speaker 13: which which one you want to hear? You get down
Speaker 13: the field, and you get down the boat. You kick
Speaker 13: off your shoes and you throw them on the floor,
Speaker 13: dance in the kitchen till the morning like Louisiana Saturday night.
Speaker 13: And then here I'll tell you about.
Speaker 5: Yes, why well, I tell you what. If you drive
Speaker 5: to the.
Speaker 13: End of Louisiana Avenue there in Denver, it ends at
Speaker 13: the Arts Diocese, the Catholic Arts Diocety of Denver, and
Speaker 13: if you look over the sanctuary, there's the try and
Speaker 13: I that's on the state Silver Colorado. And we discussed this.
Speaker 5: That that well you know that this is the proof
Speaker 5: of God.
Speaker 4: He well, yeah, well, you know Nile.
Speaker 13: Sin New mean nothing without providence and the watchful, careful
Speaker 13: eye over all the.
Speaker 5: God's creation and and and what this state.
Speaker 13: Was established for in the neglect that's going.
Speaker 5: On when this state it's actually a shame. You know,
Speaker 5: when when.
Speaker 13: People notarize documents and everything, you know, they really should
Speaker 13: give recognition to what the power of the State of
Speaker 13: Colorado really represents. It as a Roman FASCII own it.
Speaker 13: There's many symbols on that they give recollection to the church.
Speaker 13: And then I wanted to say something to you about
Speaker 13: that Pat Benatar song that he was playing.
Speaker 5: Also, all right, well we belong to the father you know,
Speaker 5: Rome was.
Speaker 13: Actually called the Fatherland, and so you think about that,
Speaker 13: and you think about this establishment of the church and
Speaker 13: all these things.
Speaker 5: So there's much dimention about.
Speaker 3: You, Tracy.
Speaker 2: We really really appreciate the call, because Tracy I couldn't
Speaker 2: believe it when he told me this. Remember that call, Ryan,
Speaker 2: when he said, the state seal of the State of
Speaker 2: Colorado nothing without God. Wow, And look how far we've
Speaker 2: fallen from that, right, I mean you look at you
Speaker 2: look at how secular, how hostile, to openly hostile to
Speaker 2: God that the powers that be in Colorado are right now,
Speaker 2: not all of them, of course, but you look at
Speaker 2: the Democratic Party in Colorado, how openly hostile to God
Speaker 2: and to faith it is. And there are some people
Speaker 2: within the leadership of the Democratic Party who they're believers,
Speaker 2: but look at what the party itself as doing. I mean,
Speaker 2: obviously the US Supreme Court season, how many of these
Speaker 2: key landmark religious liberty cases now do they take right
Speaker 2: out of Colorado because of as the Supreme Court has
Speaker 2: an open the open hostility towards Christianity. Hey, want me
Speaker 2: come back more of these great proof of God's stories.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you one of mine. You're on the Dan
Speaker 2: Kapitla Show.
Speaker 14: You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 2: I've got a couple of my own. I'll squeeze in,
Speaker 2: but I don't want to take the call time. I
Speaker 2: do want to go to the VIP line quickly and
Speaker 2: welcome back to the show a tremendous parental rights advocate
Speaker 2: Aaron Lee and eron. You were just published in the
Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal, right, Hey, Dan?
Speaker 15: Yeah, I just actually stopped at King Supers and picked
Speaker 15: up my copy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I would frame that. I mean, that's a
Speaker 2: big deal because you know, I think I think the
Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal has become very liberal in the news pages,
Speaker 2: but still a conservative and extraordinarily smart in the editorial
Speaker 2: pages most of the time. So for you to get
Speaker 2: published there and the words of Joe Biden. That's a
Speaker 2: big blanken deal.
Speaker 15: Very exciting and excited to be have my friend Aaron Friday,
Speaker 15: a mom from California who basically has an identical story
Speaker 15: to mine, to be able to do this together.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And if you would give people who haven't heard
Speaker 2: you yet just a kind of a quick feel for
Speaker 2: your story which is so terrifying, but you fought so
Speaker 2: hard for your child, and then tell them a little
Speaker 2: bit about this piece that's published in the Wall Street
Speaker 2: Journal today.
Speaker 4: Yeah, four years ago, my daughter was secretly.
Speaker 15: Transitioned in a confidential gender and sexuality club disguised as
Speaker 15: an art club, and convinced that she was born in
Speaker 15: the wrong body and that she should not tell her
Speaker 15: parents about it, taught how to medicalize without my knowledge
Speaker 15: or consent, and it took us almost a year to
Speaker 15: rescue her from this cult, this mentality that she had
Speaker 15: been born wrong, and it was a dark, very year.
Speaker 15: And so Aaron Friday from California, she and I have
Speaker 15: exactly the same story, and so we wrote this op
Speaker 15: ed for the Wall Street Journal about just how insane
Speaker 15: and egregious this house Bill thirteen twelve here in Colorado
Speaker 15: is well, and.
Speaker 2: It's entitled A journal may have put the headline on
Speaker 2: Colorado's totalitarian transgenderism bill, but obviously to get published in
Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal. They see the enormity the importance
Speaker 2: of this issue, and you wrote very well to it.
Speaker 15: Well, thank you. Yeah, we have the tagline. It would
Speaker 15: deem us both child abusers, and it's an all out
Speaker 15: assault on the freedom of press, the freedom of speech, businesses, churches,
Speaker 15: private schools, our First Amendment rights, our parental rights. It's
Speaker 15: an all out assault on Colorado. And then it has
Speaker 15: ramifications that you know, extend to other states if parents
Speaker 15: can get here with their kids.
Speaker 10: If this bill.
Speaker 15: Passes, we will be a total lockdown state where no
Speaker 15: other court orders or laws or custody agreements will be
Speaker 15: relevant here in Colorado. So we truly have already become
Speaker 15: the trans sanctuary state for mutilating and transitioning children, but
Speaker 15: this would just triple down on that status for the
Speaker 15: state of Colorado. We are just off the rails this
Speaker 15: session in the legislature. It's almost like maud Red Guard.
Speaker 15: You know, they're enabling our kids to determine the parameters
Speaker 15: of how parents will parent them. You know if they
Speaker 15: choose a different name and pronoun, we as parents will
Speaker 15: be forced to go along with that and transition our
Speaker 15: kids or else risk losing them to the state.
Speaker 2: You can't even wrap your minder on that, but I
Speaker 2: know it's real because I've read the bill. Explain the
Speaker 2: part where all of a sudden you become a child
Speaker 2: abuser if you tell your son that, hey, you're really
Speaker 2: Joe and not Jane.
Speaker 15: Yeah, it defines misgendering or dead naming, and those are
Speaker 15: new terms for a lot of people. Dead naming is
Speaker 15: using your child's given name, real name, the name that
Speaker 15: you gave them.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 15: If you were to do that, the state is defining
Speaker 15: that as coercive control or child abuse and enabling the
Speaker 15: court to determine that your abusive in custody situations. And so,
Speaker 15: of course that affects parents who are divorced or split
Speaker 15: up and are going through custody hearings, but it also
Speaker 15: affects this could be used against two loving parents like
Speaker 15: my husband and I who said, no, we're not going
Speaker 15: to call you by that name and we're not going
Speaker 15: to use those pronouns, and that's not what it's best
Speaker 15: for you, because we your parents act in your best interest.
Speaker 15: And you know, we were faced with that decision, and
Speaker 15: we acted out of love and care and concern for
Speaker 15: our daughter. And if we had not refused to use
Speaker 15: the new name and pronouns, we're not even sure she'd
Speaker 15: be alive. It was so all encompassing, the darkness that
Speaker 15: was caused by this impossible pursuit to change her sex,
Speaker 15: especially at such a young age, when she was already
Speaker 15: so vulnerable. So it's really scary to think that the
Speaker 15: state is trying to force parents like me, good loving
Speaker 15: parents to harm their own children knowingly or else lose them.
Speaker 15: And I know we've talked about the suicide myth before, Dan,
Speaker 15: where we were bullied with that. You know, do you
Speaker 15: want a living son or a dead daughter, You must
Speaker 15: go ahead and transition them or they will kill themselves.
Speaker 15: And now the state is adding to that, you must
Speaker 15: transition them or else the state will take them.
Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you this key question, Arin, why
Speaker 2: are they coming for the children? I mean, you had
Speaker 2: it happened to you, you fought to save your child,
Speaker 2: you succeeded, you defeated them, But why do they keep
Speaker 2: coming for the children.
Speaker 15: Well, you know, as we said in the article, it
Speaker 15: feels to palitarian. It feels like we are under complete
Speaker 15: Marxist control, where the state truly believes that they own
Speaker 15: our children, that they act in the best interests of
Speaker 15: our children, and that parents are considered abuse of until
Speaker 15: proven innocence. Truly, the state, in so many ways, not
Speaker 15: just Bill thirteen twelve, but las of bills preceding it,
Speaker 15: have been subtly stripping away our parental rights for years,
Speaker 15: and the state is in this position where they truly believe,
Speaker 15: at least the radicals who are running our state the legislature,
Speaker 15: believe that they know better than parents when it comes
Speaker 15: to our children.
Speaker 2: Well, Aaron, I hope that you or somebody else can
Speaker 2: pin Michael Bennett, since he's the presumptive Democrat nominee at
Speaker 2: this point, can pin him down on thirteen twelve. Does
Speaker 2: he support thirteen twelve, because that that alone should disqualify
Speaker 2: him for the office of governor. But somebody needs to
Speaker 2: pin them down. They need to pin every Democrat down.
Speaker 2: We're soon going to know about Polis right.
Speaker 15: Right, well, and you know there's a lot of stuff
Speaker 15: guards that we still have. This has not been introduced
Speaker 15: in the Senate, so they rammed it through the House.
Speaker 15: They tried to rush it through without us noticing that
Speaker 15: it had even been introduced. And so now it's being
Speaker 15: held by the Senate. It's not been read over the desk,
Speaker 15: and so it's clear that our pressure is working, that
Speaker 15: the Democrats in Denver are scared of all the heat
Speaker 15: that's been brought as a result of this bill. And
Speaker 15: we've even heard rumblings that the Democrats their own side,
Speaker 15: is trying to kill this bill behind closed doors, that
Speaker 15: national orgers like Glad and p Flag are trying to
Speaker 15: kill it because they recognize the juice is not worth
Speaker 15: the squeeze, that this bill is so radical and has
Speaker 15: guarnered so much negative attention that it's not worth it
Speaker 15: for them to continue to pursue it.
Speaker 2: Well, keep up the great work. I mean, first you
Speaker 2: saved your own child, now you're saving other children. And
Speaker 2: I have to believe that most people across party lines
Speaker 2: want to save all the children from this, but that's
Speaker 2: not going to stop the left. So keep up the
Speaker 2: great work. How can people follow you?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 15: I go by air and four Parental Rights up on
Speaker 15: us all social media, and I also run an organization
Speaker 15: called Protect Kids Colorado. To Protect Kids Colorado dot org
Speaker 15: and we'll be running citizens VALLID initiatives this summer to
Speaker 15: combat these horrible bills.
Speaker 2: Love it, love it, Thank you, Eron, you take care,
Speaker 2: Thanks for having me, Dan, Thank you. That is Aaron
Speaker 2: Lee just doing such great work. And when you think
Speaker 2: about it, like Lindsay dot go out and Jeff co
Speaker 2: and you think about all of these people, and they're
Speaker 2: not all women, but many and most of the most
Speaker 2: successful grassroots organizers who have really had a major impact
Speaker 2: on events in Colorado are women, and they've risen up
Speaker 2: and they've just saved a lot of kids. And you know,
Speaker 2: I mean, it reminds me of my mom, who was
Speaker 2: kind of the same way, mother of five south side
Speaker 2: of Chicago, on the Southwest Side, and she just she
Speaker 2: got right into the heart of some big community issues
Speaker 2: and made such a big difference. And yeah, it's Hey,
Speaker 2: it's the best, right, it's the best of who we are.
Speaker 2: On this Good Friday, we're talking about proof of God,
Speaker 2: proof of God's stories from our listeners and our callers.
Speaker 2: I have one I want to throw into the last segment,
Speaker 2: but but we'll open up the phone lines again to
Speaker 2: that will squeeze them in on text as well. So
Speaker 2: three or three someone three eight two five five text
Speaker 2: d A N five seven seven three nine your proof
Speaker 2: of God's story. You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 14: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 2: A Proof of God show that we do on Good
Speaker 2: Friday and some other days. And these stories are so powerful,
Speaker 2: right because so often there's no explanation for what happened
Speaker 2: other than God. I'll give you a quick one and
Speaker 2: then we'll go to the lines. And it was it
Speaker 2: was early in my long career, and I was representing
Speaker 2: this wonderful, amazing young mother who had just the perfect
Speaker 2: little boy, single mom. And this perfect little boy, Danny
Speaker 2: Gibbons was I believe he was a first grader when
Speaker 2: he was killed outside of school on an icy street
Speaker 2: and he was killed by a motorists, not the motorist's fault,
Speaker 2: because the city had been warned over and over and
Speaker 2: over again that that street was icy and dangerous and
Speaker 2: had not been sanded. You know, there was after I
Speaker 2: took the case on, we found multiple nine to one
Speaker 2: month calls warning the city you got to get somebody
Speaker 2: out there. And then the city claimed they had, but
Speaker 2: they hadn't, and so I took that case on and
Speaker 2: I'm representing Laurie and we've gone to trial, and at
Speaker 2: the beginning of the trial, I think from everything I
Speaker 2: could tell, the whole town was against us, because you
Speaker 2: know that the reporting at that point no fault of
Speaker 2: the press. I think they'd just been fed bad information
Speaker 2: by the city. The reporting had been very inaccurate about
Speaker 2: what it is. What happened. Little Danny was in the crosswalk,
Speaker 2: properly crossing the street when he was killed because the
Speaker 2: city had failed to stand the intersection. So we go
Speaker 2: to trial. Odds are against us, and it's you know,
Speaker 2: it's just me and so and Lori and so we
Speaker 2: get through the first day of trial and very intense
Speaker 2: put on a ton of witnesses. I'm going to have literally,
Speaker 2: I think I put on eighteen to twenty witnesses the
Speaker 2: second day. So I'm up very late at night early morning,
Speaker 2: hours before that second day of trial, and I've got
Speaker 2: some staff folks who are down in a conference room
Speaker 2: down the hallway, and my office has at that time
Speaker 2: had these big windows in there. So I'm working as
Speaker 2: hard as I can. I can remember it like thirty
Speaker 2: seconds ago, and and I just, you know, got to
Speaker 2: about two in the morning, and I just face planted
Speaker 2: it right onto my desk. I was just out like
Speaker 2: a light. And there's not a lot of sleep, as
Speaker 2: you imagine, preparing for trial. There's a lot of people's jobs,
Speaker 2: there's not a lot of so I'm just out like
Speaker 2: a light. My staff doesn't know that. They're down the
Speaker 2: hall in a conference room getting some paper or some
Speaker 2: exhibits ready for the next day. And then all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, there is this boom. Man, it is like
Speaker 2: a bomb went off. And I remember just waking up
Speaker 2: thinking a bomb had gone off in the office. Everybody
Speaker 2: comes running down the hall, what the hell happened? And
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, there's a Black Slaw Dictionary,
Speaker 2: which is this ginormous Bogus's biggest book you can picture
Speaker 2: at that time, Black Slaw Dictionary, which had which had
Speaker 2: literally flown at least six or seven feet from the
Speaker 2: credenza next to my desk all the way across the
Speaker 2: room and slammed against the window. And that's what had
Speaker 2: created the big boom. And you know how it is
Speaker 2: sometimes when something wakes you up in such a way,
Speaker 2: you're just full of adrenaline. And I was full of
Speaker 2: adrenaline and just stayed up the rest of the night
Speaker 2: and all through the next day. God willing, it was
Speaker 2: a tremendous next day, and the jury got it right,
Speaker 2: and this mother won a great victory to help protect
Speaker 2: other kids. But all I'm telling you is, there is
Speaker 2: no explanation whatsoever, no earthly scientific explanation for how that
Speaker 2: Black Slaw Dictionary gets from that credenza across the room
Speaker 2: and slams against the window. And yeah, so I still
Speaker 2: gives me chills when I think about it. Let's go
Speaker 2: to Joe and Arvada. You're on the dan Kaplas show.
Speaker 10: Welcome, Okay.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I was in the.
Speaker 10: Marines eighty to eighty three, and actually I was, of course,
Speaker 10: I was with the Airwing. And the joke amongst Marines
Speaker 10: is swing with the wing. And you know, other than pilots,
Speaker 10: when you're in the Marine Corps, if you're with the
Speaker 10: Air Wing, you got it made. I mean, it's nothing
Speaker 10: like being attached to, you know, the combat arms. But
Speaker 10: I was a corporal two years in and there came
Speaker 10: up a billet for three months. TDA temporary duty assignment
Speaker 10: to Oaka. Now, and this is no splassified information, but
Speaker 10: there's there's several ships that are always sailing the globe
Speaker 10: that are loaded with you know, material for war, right, tanks, artillery,
Speaker 10: this and that, and so once a year they come
Speaker 10: to oak and now to Naha Harbor, right, and we
Speaker 10: offload them and mostly the tanks, some of the artillery
Speaker 10: and other things. You know, they have to be serviced,
Speaker 10: change the oil, make sure everything's.
Speaker 4: Good, blah blah blah.
Speaker 10: And so this one particular morning, this one ship. So
Speaker 10: when we're offloading these vehicles, this one ship, there was
Speaker 10: like a hard right turn to get to the ramps,
Speaker 10: so the tanks could offload and you know, go into
Speaker 10: the harbor. So we'd have to direct them, right, we
Speaker 10: have to direct them. And I did that, I don't
Speaker 10: know two and a half three hours, and at some
Speaker 10: point the first sargeant comes up and he says, I'm
Speaker 10: not going to say anything. He says, you know, take
Speaker 10: a break. We're going to send in corporal such and such,
Speaker 10: and like thirty minutes later there's all this commotion. I'm like,
Speaker 10: what the hell, Well, the tank that he was directing
Speaker 10: and offloaded, slipped on the ramp, crushed him against the bulkhead,
Speaker 10: which if you don't know what bulked, it's just the
Speaker 10: side of the ship. Yeah, and you know he was
Speaker 10: killed in You know, I'm thinking, man, that very well
Speaker 10: could have been me. I mean, it would have been me, right, So,
Speaker 10: and it's still it's still I don't want to say
Speaker 10: haunts me, but it still kind.
Speaker 2: Of sure yeah sure. Oh man, Well, hey, thank you
Speaker 2: for your service and so glad you made it, and
Speaker 2: feel horrible for you, you know, for your brave colleague
Speaker 2: who did not And man, Brian, we never got to
Speaker 2: your proof of God moments. Well, we'll do the show again.
Speaker 2: We don't do it on that side.
Speaker 16: I mentioned the hospice nurse who called earlier. Yeah, I
Speaker 16: think there were definite moments during that caretaking from my
Speaker 16: mother where I felt God's presence and I went to
Speaker 16: church that morning, the morning of my mom's death.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's yeah, No, you're right, those moments, right,
Speaker 2: those moments like the caller we had earlier, who was
Speaker 2: moved to tears remembering on the way past the cemetery
Speaker 2: and this white dove running down stuff like that and
Speaker 2: flying right next to the car. Yeah, yeah, so many
Speaker 2: great calls today. Appreciate everybody on that. And we'll do
Speaker 2: this segment a bunch and then just talk about, you know,
Speaker 2: some of the big world events where obviously there's no
Speaker 2: scientific explanation, but hope you have a tremendous easter. Sun's
