Andy, 10 00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:33.320 I know you're super busy, grateful for a few minutes 11 00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:34.159 of your time today. 12 00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:35.119 How you doing, my friend? 13 00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:37.920 I'm doing great, Dan, How are you well? 14 00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:39.840 I am doing great, And actually I know you're doing 15 00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:43.320 great because I listened to the McCarthy Report religiously. I 16 00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:46.200 recommend everybody pick up that podcast. I learned so much 17 00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:50.039 on it. But Andy, please do share the wisdom. President 18 00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:53.359 Trump's legal authority. Where does it begin and end here? 19 00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:58.079 Well, I think it begins an Article two of the Constitution, 20 00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:02.960 and as a result, I think that's where it ends 21 00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:06.959 for Governor Newsom in California, as I understand that the 22 00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:15.760 courts have already what buffed him in his attempt to 23 00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:21.400 nullify the president. We're calling it in order or proclamation? 24 00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:22.120 What have you? 25 00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:27.319 I think since the Civil War then in the prize cases, 26 00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:31.120 so I think that's you'll remember your law school better 27 00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:34.200 than me, maybe, but I think they're like around eighteen 28 00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:39.760 sixty three, the Supreme Court basically held that if there 29 00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:46.280 is a violent uprising, if there's a possibility of a 30 00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.959 profound threat to the United States, forcible threat, whether it's 31 00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:54.200 from within or without. The issue then was the blockade 32 00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:59.480 of the Southern States. But the Court said that the 33 00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:02.640 president has not only the authority, but the obligation to 34 00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:05.760 protect the United States and to take whatever action needs 35 00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:09.840 to be taken, even without congressional authorization, to suppress the 36 00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:13.280 threat to the United States. So the president has very 37 00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:18.240 broad power when it comes to things that are threats 38 00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:25.159 to national security, threats of civil strife. I'm not talking 39 00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:27.919 about like, you know, normal law enforcement stuff. I'm talking 40 00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:30.400 about the kind of stuff that we've seen in California 41 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:32.599 in the last couple of days. And I also think 42 00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:38.639 the president has very wide authority when you're talking about 43 00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:45.280 the execution of duties that are undoubtedly federal responsibilities, which 44 00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:49.280 the courts of health for a century that immigration enforcement is, 45 00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:54.199 and the president has similarly broad authority to protect federal 46 00:02:54.680 --> 00:03:01.479 facilities and federal personnel carrying out executives branch responsibility. So 47 00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:04.439 I just think that, you know, there's a lot of 48 00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:08.159 talk about trying to part these statutes, like what does 49 00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:11.520 the Insurrection Act say? And what is this section? What 50 00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:16.199 was it twelve four or six that Trump invoked from 51 00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:19.960 Title ten when he issued the proclamation. My personal view 52 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:21.759 for what it's worth is that he's got all the 53 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:26.919 authority he needs an articles of the Constitution and that's 54 00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:27.840 really the end of it. 55 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:31.319 Andy McCarthy our guest from National Review of course, as 56 00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:35.319 well as the McCarthy Report podcast. Now, Andy, in terms 57 00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:38.719 of the specific use of US marines, is is that 58 00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:43.479 more limited? Is that limited to protecting federal facilities or 59 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.840 where do you think the range of that use goes? 60 00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:52.000 Well, I see, you know, there's a difference between in 61 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.919 theory what could the president do and you know, as 62 00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:59.000 a practical matter, what is he doing? So, as I understand, 63 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:01.919 if we stick with what he is doing and you know, 64 00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:05.680 not get into crazy scenarios that that people want to 65 00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:08.879 get into, like all the Barer show scenarios, which I 66 00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:12.159 think are overwrought. What the Marines are being brought in 67 00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:15.280 to do is protect federal facilities. Anybody who's been watching 68 00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:19.160 the news knows have been under a real threat. And 69 00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:21.040 this isn't the first time. And you know, we saw 70 00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:25.480 the rioting that went on, you know, post George Floyd, 71 00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:29.639 and we had a courthouse in Portland that was like 72 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:35.639 firebombed and nightly subject to attacks. Right, there was widespread 73 00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:39.040 violence that went on for months after George Floyd's death. 74 00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:43.560 You know, everybody gets themselves in the media and in 75 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.399 the Democratic Party, they get themselves all whipped up about 76 00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:49.800 a three hour riot on January sixth, which I think 77 00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:53.920 all of us who believe that all political violence is 78 00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:56.279 wrong condemned full throatedly. 79 00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:57.199 I know I did. 80 00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:00.439 But you know, it's got to be the same not 81 00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:02.560 only the same rules for both sides, but we should 82 00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:05.800 be able to make the same kinds of assessmins. Right, 83 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:08.959 And that was a three hour riot that the Justice 84 00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.879 Department and the incumbent government came down on like a 85 00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.879 ton of bricks once the Biden administration was in And 86 00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:20.040 yet we had months of rioting, legal rioting, right that 87 00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:21.879 went on in the United States, and they turned the 88 00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:24.120 blind eye to it, which I think is part of 89 00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:26.920 the anger that you see in people. Yeah, the two 90 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:28.959 tiers of treatment. 91 00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:31.720 Exactly, exactly well, said my friend. Let me close with 92 00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:35.000 one broader question, if you don't mind, what's your take 93 00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:38.319 overall on the type of the quality of legal advice 94 00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:40.759 that the president's getting. And I know they can come 95 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:43.439 from a lot of different sources, but in general, maybe 96 00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:45.800 starting with White House counsel, what do you think the 97 00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:46.959 overall quality is. 98 00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:50.680 I'm sure that the lawyers are fine. You know, they're 99 00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:54.319 very experienced lawyers. I think Trump is a difficult client. 100 00:05:55.399 --> 00:06:00.920 He doesn't really like lawyers. The lawyers. Yeah, well, you 101 00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:03.600 know a lot of people don't like lawyers, right, You 102 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.560 and I have both experienced every thing is that you 103 00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:10.279 know he's this is he's not a neophyte. You know, 104 00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:14.680 he's now a nearly eighty year old guy. He's been 105 00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:17.959 very successful in his life. And what the lawyers are 106 00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:20.439 around for is basically to keep you on the straight 107 00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:23.519 and narrow and try to prevent you from getting yourself 108 00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:29.399 in trouble. And Trump, I think has an idea of 109 00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:35.120 what kind of trouble he's willing to live with He's 110 00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:37.879 willing to live on the edge in a way that 111 00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:41.079 I think most people are not comfortable with, and that 112 00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:46.120 makes for some interesting scenarios. But it probably makes if 113 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:48.480 I was if I still had hair to tear out, 114 00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:50.560 I'd probably be tearing my hair out if I were 115 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:51.639 a lawyer in the White House. 116 00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:55.319 Yeah, well, it has to be one of the most 117 00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:59.839 exciting presidencies ever. Last question, Andy, First, somebody just maybe 118 00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:03.120 thinking of getting started on the McCarthy Report podcast, which 119 00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:05.720 I really think is one of the top two most 120 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:09.759 valuable out there. Do you have a favorite episode, you know, 121 00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:12.800 say it might hook somebody, somebody who just wants to 122 00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:14.879 dip their toe in. I think I've heard most, if 123 00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:15.560 not all of them. 124 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:19.519 But Jerry Kind Jerry kind to you to say, we 125 00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:23.399 have a page on National Review that has our archives, 126 00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.920 and it's got for each episode, it's got a little 127 00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.839 description of what we discussed. You know, I try to 128 00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:35.279 listen to them afterwards, and I actually, I really do 129 00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:40.600 think that the ones we've done in Trump's most recent 130 00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:43.759 you know, in Trump's new presidency in this term, Yeah, 131 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:47.600 I think I think they've been as good as any 132 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:51.519 that we've done, and I always like the ones where 133 00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:53.480 I think part of the reasons of that, Dan is 134 00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:56.800 like there's a lot of emergent news. I used to 135 00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:01.040 be a nut for doing an outline for the podcast 136 00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:03.000 to make sure that, like we at least had a 137 00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:06.279 framework of things that we were going to discuss some days. 138 00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:08.720 Now because there's so much going on and some of 139 00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:11.519 it breaks right before we start to record. A lot 140 00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:13.839 of the newer episodes, we just kind of go in 141 00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:17.399 and wing it, and I actually find those conversations are better, yeah, 142 00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:20.600 than the ones that are you know that we try 143 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:22.600 to say too faithful to an outline. 144 00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:25.160 Yeah, And what I really like about it we recommend 145 00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:30.639 to everybody listening is it's like going to law school 146 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:34.559 that's geared to real life, and you learn so much 147 00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:37.200 that's directly applicable to the big issues of the day, 148 00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:39.600 and you just walk out of there smarter. You know, 149 00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:42.480 whether you have a high school degree or you manage 150 00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:45.120 to go to law school or some other school, everybody 151 00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:48.159 walks out of there smarter. So appreciate that, Andy, and 152 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:49.399 appreciate the time today. 153 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:53.039 Thank you so much, Dan, I appreciate the kind words. 154 00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:54.600 Thank you, my friend. Take care that is. 155 00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:58.279 Andy McCarthy truly is a national treasure when it comes 156 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:00.960 to this legal stuff, and we appreciate his time. Three 157 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:02.960 all three seven and three A two five five the 158 00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:06.840 number text d an five seven seven three nine And 159 00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:09.480 as Andy said, yeah, the federal judge didn't take long 160 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.039 to have slapped down Newsome on this effort to reign 161 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:15.519 in Trump's power. It's so clear Trump has this power, 162 00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:17.840 which is why this is such a beautiful moment. 163 00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:18.039 Right. 164 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:19.799 I wish none of this was happening. I wish it 165 00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:24.279 wasn't necessary. But Trump is going to win and the 166 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:27.720 Left just can't handle that, which means the left's just 167 00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:30.240 going to make it worse on itself, which means it's 168 00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:32.639 going to be a bigger victory for Trump, which is 169 00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:34.200 going to be great for this nation. 170 00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:35.799 You're on the Dan Capla Show. 171 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:40.159 And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast. 172 00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:43.039 Really a little broken hearted the fans going out to 173 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.039 the Rockies game tonight. I've got a project do at work, 174 00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:47.960 so I will miss this trip. But we went to 175 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.879 our first game on Saturday night, first game of the season, 176 00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:52.399 and it was a blast. 177 00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:53.919 I mean they lost seven to one, but it was 178 00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:55.480 still a blast neet the Mets. 179 00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:58.879 Yeah, hey, hey, listen, I'm telling you I I think 180 00:09:58.919 --> 00:09:59.960 that's a good Mets team. 181 00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:02.159 It's a very good They seem to have a good chemistry. 182 00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:04.519 I mean, yeah, truth. 183 00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:06.639 You know, I'm not a big sports gambler or anything, 184 00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:08.360 even though I'm really good at it. 185 00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:11.080 I mean, little little bitty stuff. But I did. I 186 00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:12.919 went out put a couple of bucks in the Mets 187 00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:13.960 to win it all. 188 00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:16.799 Ye of little faith? Oh you mean to win it all? 189 00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:18.480 Not just Thick in the game against the Rockets. 190 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:18.960 Oh goodness. 191 00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:21.480 I wouldn't bet against the Rockies in a game. No, no, no, 192 00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:24.039 that's karma, man. No, No, I'm talking about the Mets 193 00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:26.399 to win the n L and then win the World Series. 194 00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:27.399 It's an interesting bet. 195 00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:30.679 I think that's the team. Kind of a sneaky, smart 196 00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:32.320 bet on the Mets. Yeah. 197 00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:34.279 Yeah, just having a chance to watch him in action, 198 00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:36.960 and you know, I'm so big on the chemistry, the vibe, 199 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.080 everything else, not just the talent level. 200 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.360 Have you watched might Detroit Tigers. 201 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:44.279 I have missed them so far. I didn't the Cubs 202 00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:45.519 kind of wiped the floor with them. 203 00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:46.440 Absolutely not. 204 00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:48.879 That's a fake news. The Tigers took two out of 205 00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:51.440 three from the Cubs. Are you use Chicago? And I 206 00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:53.960 should have known better. They did split with your white 207 00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:59.159 Sox though, I know because the white socks are terrible. 208 00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:03.360 I know, Dan says a text to da in five, seven, 209 00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:05.200 seven through nine. I'm sorry to hear Andy bring up 210 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:07.639 how the Dems ignore the twenty twenty riots versus a 211 00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:12.320 three hour January sixth event twenty twenties, over five hundred 212 00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:15.360 riots with billions of damage, et cetera. A great text, 213 00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:18.039 and Andy McCarthy made the point as well that this 214 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:20.960 is part of this underlying anger in America that is 215 00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:23.879 righteous anger and is doing real damage to the Democrats. 216 00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:26.279 This two tiered justice system where. 217 00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:29.360 The left, I mean Polis went into hiding essentially told 218 00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:31.240 the left by going into hiding, do whatever you want. 219 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:36.080 And yet Conservatives, you spent on the sidewalk, you're probably 220 00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:38.960 going to do five years. So yeah, people don't like that. 221 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:42.360 They shouldn't like that. And remember, for eons prior to 222 00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:44.679 election day, I was telling you it's one of the 223 00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:46.600 many reasons Trump is going to win. Even a lot 224 00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:48.759 of people who don't like them, We're going to vote 225 00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:50.480 for them because they don't want us to be a 226 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:55.159 two tiered Banana Republic, Dan says a text, it sounds 227 00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:57.399 like Trump has the full authority and even more importantly, 228 00:11:57.480 --> 00:12:00.679 the obligation to send in the troops. Absolutely, and I'm 229 00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:03.679 sure he probably regrets not doing it during those George 230 00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:09.240 Floyd riots, but he absolutely does. And it's such a 231 00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:11.559 no brainer form right, it's so good for the country, 232 00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:14.120 it's so good from politically. And then the question is 233 00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:16.720 how long is the left going to drag this out? 234 00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:21.759 Because every minute this goes on is horrible for the left, 235 00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:24.519 good for Trump, and good for the country in terms 236 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:27.679 of sending the message out there. No whether it's Polis 237 00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:30.720 or Johnston or Hickenloop or Bennett or any of these lefties, 238 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.679 you're not going to get away with being insurrectionists. You're 239 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:37.559 not going to get away with defining and ignoring federal 240 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.320 law that you don't like, ie immigration law. So very 241 00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:44.799 important message for the country, Dan, did you change your 242 00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:48.480 mind about the cyber truck purchase? Many of these texts 243 00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:51.039 cybertruck purchases. 244 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:53.039 On hold, on hold. 245 00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:55.039 I have a feeling these two are going to get 246 00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:58.120 back together, and it will be a very good thing 247 00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:00.600 if they do. Very important that you. They have a 248 00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:03.720 lot of that musk money. Did you ever wear musk? 249 00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:06.480 Do you remember that old scent musk? 250 00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:08.039 Yeah? And absolutely not? 251 00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:12.639 Okay, okay, no, nor did I? 252 00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:13.240 Dan and Ryan. 253 00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:14.799 I'm not certain of this, but I would be willing 254 00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:16.679 to bet Dan's on her proposal. Amy as a news 255 00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:18.960 anchor during the live news broadcast is one of a 256 00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:20.600 kind of current set from Andy. 257 00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:23.559 I don't think so. I think there were some copycats 258 00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:24.519 after that. Maybe I'm wrong. 259 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:29.519 Maybe it wasn't uh news reporter on anchor, legal anal, 260 00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:32.240 you know, maybe it was like sports stuff, But. 261 00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:33.559 I think there were a bunch of those on. 262 00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:36.799 To me, that's not even close to the same, Like 263 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:40.320 somebody doing the proposal on a jumbo tron, which I'm 264 00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:42.559 here to tell you a lot of ladies don't like that, 265 00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:46.600 Oh they don't. Uh, but yours was the five o'clock news, 266 00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:49.080 but it was white hot spotlight. 267 00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:49.639 Yeah. 268 00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:50.960 I've been on a TV set. 269 00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:54.639 Yeah, there's a lot of pressure, regardless it's you, it's her, 270 00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:56.200 it's everybody watching. 271 00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:59.639 It's I can't even wrap my hat around that moment. 272 00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:00.919 Dan, Yeah, nor can I. 273 00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:01.720 How did you do it? 274 00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:03.120 How did you do it? Well? 275 00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:06.480 I was in love, okay, and I wanted her to 276 00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:10.320 marry me. Yep, I wanted the world to know that 277 00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:11.919 I was in love with her and wanted her to 278 00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:16.360 marry me. And at that point that all seemed very positive. 279 00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:19.600 And if if you live like life, just afraid of failing, 280 00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:22.399 it's going to be a pretty miserable life. 281 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:26.080 Well that moment, you, I mean, you wore it well, 282 00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:28.799 but you exhibited zero fear. 283 00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:31.120 You just jumped no parish to you. 284 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:35.080 You got to yeah, once you're through the door, Yeah yeah, 285 00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:36.679 you just block everything else out. 286 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:39.480 I on the prize. 287 00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:42.279 Incredible, truly incredible moment history. 288 00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:44.720 Oh thank you, Yeah no, and thanks for pulling that sound. 289 00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:45.480 Oh yeah. 290 00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:48.480 Now, this is a tough turn because this is a 291 00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:52.679 sad story and one we predicted. I'm not even sure 292 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:54.399 there's time to do the full setup right now, but 293 00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:56.080 I want to give you a taste. You remember when 294 00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:59.440 we talked about how this lack of respect for human 295 00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:02.519 life the left takes so many different forms. Obviously, we 296 00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:04.759 talk a lot about abortion, because they kill so many 297 00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:09.679 millions of innocent children before abortion, before they're born. But 298 00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:13.399 we talk also about how the left just this disregard 299 00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:16.639 of the inherent value of human life affects a lot 300 00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:18.960 of people who've already been born. And one of the 301 00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:21.879 examples he've been talking about are these new laws regarding 302 00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:25.320 motorcyclists and how Polish in the Left had to know 303 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:31.679 that this lane splitting would lead to carnage right where 304 00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:35.159 they are telling motorcyclists, yeah, you can drive down the 305 00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:37.279 middle of a lane. Now the traffic's supposed to be 306 00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:40.120 stopped and everything else. But everybody with a one IQ 307 00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:43.960 understood once this law passed, there was just going to 308 00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:46.879 be full speed lane splitting and lots of innocent people 309 00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:49.399 are going to die. But what the Left doesn't get, 310 00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:51.360 or they do get it, they just don't care. 311 00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:54.519 Is that that that means. 312 00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:57.480 You're going to have a child sitting at home and 313 00:15:57.519 --> 00:15:59.320 they're going to be waiting for their dad to get home, 314 00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:02.799 for Morkanes ever going to come home. That they they 315 00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:05.399 don't care about any of that. They don't care about 316 00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:09.039 the human loss, the ripple effect of the human loss. 317 00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:13.480 They just don't have the same respect for the individual 318 00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:16.039 importance of each human life. They're looking at their big 319 00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:19.080 green agenda and everything else, and the rest of us 320 00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:23.200 are anacceptable casualty rates so that's a setup for what 321 00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:27.480 we're seeing now since this whole lane splitting came into effect, 322 00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:30.120 And there are other examples as well, and we may 323 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:31.200 get to it in this segment. 324 00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:34.200 But remember we talked a lot. 325 00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:37.559 About this insane new law, again born of this whole 326 00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:41.759 Green New Deal mentality, this insane law that in some 327 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:46.320 circumstances allows cyclists not to stop at stop signs bicyclists 328 00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:49.919 things like that, Oh yeah, what could possibly go wrong? 329 00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:54.559 But again, because the Left doesn't value individual human life, 330 00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:57.240 they're not thinking about that child who's not going to 331 00:16:57.240 --> 00:16:59.279 come home to their parents, or that mom who's not 332 00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:02.320 going to come home to her family. It's all an 333 00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:05.240 acceptable casualty rate to them. So the broader point is, 334 00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:07.640 and then we'll play that story after the break, is 335 00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:11.720 just that that there are really severe consequences for society 336 00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.720 in so many different ways when you have one major 337 00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:21.400 political party whose power. People literally just don't value individual 338 00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:23.880 human life unless it's their own or one of their cronies. 339 00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:26.559 So when we come back, we'll play that story and 340 00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:28.400 talk about, Okay, what do we need to do now 341 00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:31.039 beyond just getting rid of that crazy law, what do 342 00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:34.839 we need to do to make the roads safer for motorcyclists, 343 00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:38.599 safer for bicyclists, obviously safer for everybody out there, because 344 00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:41.440 there's so much more we can do, and the Left 345 00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:46.039 is constantly working against that in so many different ways. 346 00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:48.799 And don't even get me started on legalization in marijuana, 347 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:50.599 because they absolutely understood once. 348 00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:52.720 They did that, Once they did. 349 00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:54.240 That, you are going to have a whole lot of 350 00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:56.200 trash kids, and you're going to have a whole lot 351 00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:58.960 of dead bodies on the roadways and a whole lot 352 00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:02.480 of mangled bodies and everything else. But again that that 353 00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:06.640 human life, it just it just isn't important to them. 354 00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:08.880 It just doesn't weigh with them. And I know, as 355 00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:12.000 you're driving home right now, you may not agree with 356 00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:15.519 that because you just can't imagine somebody's thinking that way. 357 00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:17.759 But I ask you, you know, in a quiet moment, 358 00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:20.119 to just think about it and look at the Left 359 00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:22.599 and look at everything they're doing, because a lot of 360 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:23.359 it comes. 361 00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:24.960 Back to that. 362 00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:28.559 That does the secular radicals who own and operate the 363 00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:33.359 Democratic Party simply do not believe that each human life 364 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:35.839 has that inherent dignity and importance. 365 00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:37.240 They just don't think that way. 366 00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:41.039 Two or three someone three eight two five five textda 367 00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:43.240 N five seven seven three nine. Do we need to 368 00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:45.160 get rid of that lane splitting law? What else can 369 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:47.559 we do to make the road safer and more sane. 370 00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:49.720 You're on the Dan Kapla Show. 371 00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:57.880 You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. 372 00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:01.359 Talking about we said it at the time, this insane 373 00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:07.480 new law in Colorado allowing motorcycle quote lane filtering versus 374 00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:10.839 lane splitting. Lane splitting is when in moving traffic you 375 00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:12.960 can split the lanes and go down one of the 376 00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:16.839 center lines, but lane filtering you're supposed to wait until 377 00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:18.720 the traffic is stopped. 378 00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:20.039 But of course everybody knew. 379 00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:22.160 As soon as this bill was passed and signed by 380 00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:26.000 Polis that in fact, what we would get is lane splitting. 381 00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:28.559 That's what we got, and we got a lot of dead. 382 00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:30.160 People with it. So we'll get to that story in 383 00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:31.720 a second. Want to get a call or to and 384 00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:36.559 before we go to this excellent CBS setup story, Texter 385 00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:38.319 says Dan, I put my hand out the window to 386 00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:41.160 feel the rain, and the lane splitter drove by and 387 00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:43.599 hit my hand with his handlebarers and broke two of 388 00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:46.200 my fingers and just kept driving. 389 00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:50.200 Boy talk about giving a cyclist the finger, right, I 390 00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:51.960 mean literally here two of them. 391 00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:55.240 That's horrible. That's absolutely horrible. Also a crime for the 392 00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:58.160 motorcyclists to do that. I want to get a caller 393 00:19:58.240 --> 00:20:01.880 to and then we'll go to that store. Let's start with. 394 00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:05.160 How about Sean and Lovelin'. You're on the Dan Caplis Show. 395 00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:09.319 Welcome, Hey, Dan, thanks for taking my car. Hey, I 396 00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:13.599 would like you to consider another angle on that filtering, 397 00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:16.000 if you would please. If I'm not mistake, and the 398 00:20:16.079 --> 00:20:20.079 legislator who introduced that did it for the reasoning of 399 00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:24.839 people being rear ended as stoplights. So, as a longtime 400 00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:27.799 motorcycle rider, I do that lane filtering. I don't do 401 00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:29.400
