Speaker 1 (00:00):
KRFX HD two Denver khow Denver they SKW Denver's talk
stationheart radio station guaranteed human Yeah, in the American way
is we uh, we out our scoundrels. We admit our mistakes.
We do everything we can to make sure we never

(00:22):
repeat our mistakes, particularly our enormous mistakes. And one of
the reasons America has survived and thrived the way it
has is because of this Greek gift. The founders gave us,
this gift of self governance, the ability to go the polls,
throw the bums out. You know, we have been able
to fix a lot of our big mistakes, not all

(00:42):
of them, but you look historically, now, a lot of
people had to be willing to fight and die for it.
But this, uh, this ultimate mistake of slavery, you know
that that got fixed in America at the cost of
great bloodshed and commitment, but it got fixed. Depriving women
of the right to vote, that horror. It got fixed

(01:03):
through that. The democratic process never should have had to
get fixed, like slavery never should have had to get fixed,
But it got fixed. That this true demonic business of
separate but equal blacks not able to use the same
bathroom as whites never should have existed, but it got fixed.
Abortion not fixed yet. There will be a time, hopefully

(01:27):
not long from now, when people look back on abortion
the way they look back on the air of slavery
and said, how could we have ever allowed that? But
we fixed. Right now, we have to learn the lessons
of and fix what happened during COVID. And there are
more revelations today with the revelations that Fauci privately was

(01:48):
talking about risks to pregnant women from getting the shot,
the mandated shot, by the way, but never talked about
that publicly. And we've already talked a lot of evidence
that Fauci was a liar and inflicted a lot of
harm on this country just to glorify himself. But we've

(02:08):
got to make sure that gets fixed. Now. How do
we do it besides just kind of outing Fauci. Many
people believe he needs to be criminally prosecuted. I'm not
clear what statute that would be, maybe a state statute somewhere.
Maybe he committed perjury in one of these hearings, But
for committing that the worst mass act of medical malpractice
probably in world history, I'm not sure there's a crime

(02:31):
that applies to that. So what else can we do
to fix it? Three oh three someone three eight two
five five, d an five seven, seventh through nine. You'd
like to sit here and hope that you know, it
gets fixed at the ballot boxes fall with anybody who's
up for election, you know who, which is pretty much
all the lefties, all the Democrats who parroted that line

(02:51):
punished children and if people lost jobs and everything else,
and the Dems were all in on that, you'd hope
the voters will remember, but they won't. I'm not knocking
the voters. I'm just talking about the reality of these,
you know, election cycles that that's not likely to rise
to the top. This socialism thing will be a factor,

(03:12):
probably not enough to make a difference in Colorado this cycle,
maybe at a real close race, but nationally, and we're
talking about the latest in Michigan because that Senate seat
could be really important, but even bigger than control of
the Senate. And that's saying a lot right. Is just
America stepping up now to resoundly reject socialism, including in

(03:33):
a left leaning place like Michigan, which which I believe
will happen. But it's a long time between now and that.
So we're talking about all that. We're also talking about
self driving cars. You may be in one now. I'd
love to hear from me if that's what you do.
I was talking about Amy, real close friend who she
just get four counds down to our place. Things like that.
She never touches the wheel, She just you know, points

(03:54):
it and goes. And we're talking about it in the
context of Kyle Shanahan, Colorado guy, Cherry Creek kid. He
was and he is the son of Mike Shanahan. Really
good guy from everything I can tell. I don't know
him personally, and a great coach. But he made a
mistake and he drove across the center line and he
caused a crash and he got hurt pretty good. And

(04:16):
you'll hear in these comments he's suggesting maybe a self
driving carmel functioned. It did not, And you'll hear just
from his description of what occurred that the chance that
the carmel functioned at the very moment that he happened
to turn around and go fishing in the backseat for
his phone, yeah, very very small chance. But it does
bring up this interesting topic of self driving cars.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Colin, Are you mad at yourself for getting getting in
the situation?

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (04:43):
I mean anytime you caused an accident that just could
be avoided, you'd feel pretty stupid.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
By the way, And I have no beef with it, Shannon.
Don't you think because Shannon Scott you should write a book? Man,
and Shannon does a lot of big time sports production.
That's a plantid question, right, I mean so many questions
at press conference, political or sports are planted questions. Kyle
Shanahan wanted that question, and there's nothing wrong with that.
But does that sound like a plant to you? Shannon

(05:08):
is is nod in, Yes, when are you writing a book?
He's a soft spoken type because we're not hearing you,
or maybe it's me. Maybe maybe this is all a dream. Well,
you would never do that. Was just bragging about how
you produce all these big time sports. Yeah, you should
write one. I'm seriously fine. I would buy the first copy.

(05:31):
It was something like that would maybe get bounced off
with the PR people first. Oh, that didn't be no fun. See,
that's a problem a guy like Shannon, if he's going
to write a book, he can't have any lawyers involved.
Shanahan question. Oh, the Shanahan question. Yeah, the good question.
The PR Department was I wonder I'm made aware of that.

(05:52):
That's a good question. Do you think he has to
go through the I would bet you in his situation
he does not have to because it's what it's Kyle Shanahan,
John Lynch, another great guy, John Lynch, one of the
great guys ever. Oh okay, yeah, truly one of the
great guys ever. And now he's a GM of that franchise.
I my guess is Kyle doesn't have to clear it
with anybody except maybe he and John talk about it

(06:14):
a little bit. But but in any case, all right,
he made a mistake. We all make mistakes, and God
the person he hit didn't get hurt, and that he
didn't get hurt worse. But it does raise this interesting
self driving card thing here here's where he gets into that.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
I mean, especially when you have a chance to hurt
someone else, and so like I think you get mad
when you get a ticket.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Oh that's yourself.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
So it's kind of the same. You know, things that
you know, I think everyone's done to a degree what
I've done, but you know, dropping a phone and falling
all the way to my back seat where I have
to fully take my eyes off the road.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Now, it's something that I normally want to do.

Speaker 4 (06:53):
I've had autopilot for nine years, so I'm pretty comfortable
with it. And you know, who knows what happened when
I try around, whether it malfunctioned or whether I knocked
it off.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
What a coincidence that would have been. And he's been
so stand up about it. Don't don't start backing up
on that. But what about it? What about the whole
self driving car thing? Getting some text on that as well, Dan,
driving and operating and automotive means is truly one of
the most enjoyable activities. I will never own a self
driving car. You can text Usdan five seven seven three nine, Dan,

(07:28):
I would never trust a self driving car. Why because
you're placing your trust in an electronic circuit which can fail,
just like my television did the other night while I
was watching my favorite program. If you're smart, you keep
your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel.
That from Jim, and I'm solidly in both of those camps.
I love driving. You're probably the same way, right, I

(07:50):
just love it.

Speaker 5 (07:51):
Now.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Maybe there's times you're probably stuck in some rush hour traffic. Now,
there may be times or maybe fatigued at the end
of a long day, where you'd love to have that
option of just as long as it was reliable pressing
a button and letting the car drive itself. But you
tell me, I think I would like to have that option,
you know, the car and driving right now, probably my
favorite car ever bought it, used, have had it for

(08:13):
ye t So I know expensive stuff is going to
start to happen. So I am looking for something else
right now. And I have thought about, I have thought
about do I get one of these self driving things?
If there was a self driving thing I loved, i'd
probably get it, just so I would have that option
if I really really needed it. But I do love driving,

(08:33):
and I just I love the power. I love the roar.
I'm not sure I could do the electric thing. And
so many of these self drivings are electric, not all
of them, but yeah, yeah, I'm also in that camp
of folks. And this is what I do for a
living and have for forty three years now going on forty four.

(08:54):
Is representing victims in these horrific death and injury cases. Man,
the idea of not being in full instant control of
that vehicle when that crazy thing happens, right, and you
know from your own experience it happens, And the next
one's comment that would scare me a little bit, And

(09:15):
you know, the liability standpoint, that's one thing. I mean, listen,
you're still liable. You're behind the wheel, and something happens
with that car and somebody gets hurt or killed, You're
still liable. And you're not going to be able to
just blame that on the decision your car made or oops,
my car missed something. No, it's no, you're still liable.
But I'm sure much more important to you like it

(09:35):
would be to me. Then the legal liability is just
your conscience. And I'm so grateful for so many things.
And one of the things I'm really grateful for is
that I have never seriously injured or injured or killed
somebody behind the wheel, And because it can happen when

(09:57):
it's your fault, and I think that's a very very
very hard thing for seeing people to live with. It
can happen when it's not your fault, and it's a
very very hard thing for people to live with. So
I'm very grateful it's never happened, and I just think
there's a better chance it doesn't happen if I'm just
in full control of that vehicle. Doesn't mean I'm perfect,

(10:17):
I'm not. I'm trying to be a real good driver.
I think I am, but I'm not perfect. But man,
I would just hate giving up that ability to instantly respond.
Three h three seOne three eight two five five d
an five seven seven three nine. Hey, when we come back,

(10:37):
we'll continue those conversations. But want to talk to you
about the latest proof that lane splitting. You know, this
craziness where motorcycles are driving between lines and moving traffic,
lanes of moving traffic. Now that's not legal in Colorado,
but everybody understood that when the Left made lane filtering legal,

(10:59):
which means you can do it when the cars are stopped,
that you are essentially legalizing lane splitting. And so we've
got the latest tragedy from that. Come back and talk
about that, and then what are you doing as a
driver now to try to protect against you being involved
in one of these lane splitting tragedies a driver of
an automn And what do you think we should be

(11:21):
doing with our laws and with enforcement to just shut
down this awfulness of lane splitting. You're on the dan
Kapla show. Drew Brees Hall of Fame.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
On my seventeenth birthday, Christ came into my heart and
changed me forever. I felt protected, connected and directed towards
the path that God have for me. He would equit
me for the journey which led me to places I

(11:59):
never could have affected. Thank you to Pastor Sean Mitchell,
Miles McPherson, Rob Wilton, and Troy Martin for your Christian
mentorship in my life.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
Well a great flipping hume and Drew Brees. What a
great man and happy to hear him say that, Sintrians.
I saw him in airport once in San Diego. I
was coming back. Our son, Joe, was a high school
quarterback then. He'd been playing in a competition out there,
and this guy's just waiting for playing. He's got this
big old jug of water, like you know most athletes do,

(12:32):
and he's standing there and I figured I'd be that guy.
And that just went up and I said, hey, hey,
mister Brees, that you know our son plays, he's quarterback.
Can I can I ask you for any advice? And
his face lit up and he would have talked all day,
very very cool guy, and gave some great advice. Yeah,
he just said, hey, just takes one person to believe
in you. And he talked about how he'd been benched

(12:53):
in high school, was never going to get a chance
to play until starter got hurt late and he got
to and then there was one coach who believed in him,
just one and that was a coach and if I
remember I Purdue, I think Perdue. Anyway, very cool guy.
Drew Brees three or three seOne three eight two five five,
d an five seven seven three nine. Speaking of the

(13:15):
faith thing, you know, I happen to be Catholic. I
don't know what it is if you're Catholic. Maybe you know,
maybe it's happening in your church if you're not Catholic.
But Amy and I were talking about it the other day.
Starting it seems like, and crowds have been good consistently
for a long time, but it seems like, starting maybe
two months ago, it just started exploding. Like you know,

(13:38):
I told you we got that cabin in the mountains.
We go to church there, huge crowds, you know, we
go to church on here, huge crowds. So I wonder
what that is, because it's it's very obvious, and normally
in the summer, I know people are traveling, scattering, get
a parking spot easier, spread out in the pew a
little bit. Now, it's just holy cow, we had to
walk for a block and a half to one mass

(14:02):
up there a few weeks ago. So what do you
think it is? And is it happening you know in
other churches? Three? I wouldn't be at all surprised if
it is three or three someone three eight two five
five d A N five seven seven three nine. Texts
are not happy with Todd Blanche getting confirmed today. Dan,

(14:22):
congratulations to Todd Roy Cone Blanche on his swearing in
his ag. He's amazing, worked a super sweet out dear
a deal for Glenn Maxwell and rudely dismiss the actual
victims of Epstein while protecting the molesters. And then he
goes on from there take shots at me and the
Catholic Church and everything else. Listen, I don't think we

(14:45):
ever heard from this guy when Biden was president and
the Democrats were in charge and they had full control
of quote the Epstein files whatever they are, and I
never heard that kind of griping then, and listen, I
can't sit here and tell you that everything has been disclosed.
It should be. I have no way to know. I
don't get to look at them. But we just didn't
hear that kind of griping when Biden was in charge,

(15:09):
did we? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (15:11):
It?

Speaker 1 (15:13):
And for all I know, there is stuff in there
that should be revealed. I think whenever you're talking about government,
first of all, they work for us, So we should
be airing on the side of disclosure. And it should
be very very little. And there are some things right
that government's secrets in this and that, but it should
air on the side of disclosure. Colorado, you know, legislatures

(15:35):
swinging the other way. And I think that's happening in
DC too, and that's too bad. And with somebody like
Epstein straight out of Hell Epstein and all those victims
out there, so many more than we even know about
right now, and so many purps who've gotten off the
hook here. Yeah, we should be airing on the side
of disclosure. Now, that doesn't mean that everything in those

(15:58):
files should be disclosed unless you think that. Let's say
you have somebody in there and it's clear they didn't
do anything wrong. They were just doing business with Epstein.
Should all that be disclosed. But my bigger point about
that guy was just that I'm not sure we heard
from them when Biden had those files. Yeah, But as
to the Blanche thing, I think there's a bigger point

(16:18):
here as well. If there's ever been a president who
deserved to have an attorney general he is comfortable with confirmed,
it is Donald Trump because he was the target of
a coup attempt. I called it that at the time,
and now people see it in the rear view clear
that was a flat out coup attempt when he won

(16:39):
the first time around, and when you stop and think
about it, because remember in the beginning there was a
goofiness with Matt gets as his AG would have been entertaining.
But the point being, and I said it at the time,
because Trump had been the target of a coup attempt,
and one of the few people in government, one of
your appointees who could take you out even though you're

(17:01):
completely innocent, is your attorney general. I think Trump has
every right to want to have somebody he has total
trust in as is AG. Now, there would be some
line out there somewhere you couldn't cross in pursuit of that,
But I don't think Blanche crosses that line. Yeah, Trump,
Trump has a right to have somebody trust because think

(17:21):
about it, you're sitting there as president. Which of your appointees,
assuming you're completely innocent of wrongdoing, which of your appointees
could end your presidency to your attorney general. I'm trying
to think anybody else in certain situations your VP pick,
But in terms of appointees, it's it's really your attorney general.

(17:47):
So once they say, oh, I've got to step aside
here for you know, an independent prosecutor or what I mean,
there are so many ways your own ag could take
you out, even if you are completely innocent. So I
don't blame Trump for on somebody he has confidence in. Hey,
a lot to do. On the other side, we're going
to continue the self driving talk. Have you driven one?
Would love to hear from you. Would you drive one?
This spinning off of Kyle Shanahan saying, hey, maybe a

(18:09):
self driving vehicle malfunction that's why he crossed the center line.
I don't think that's what happened, and Fauci hiding information
about the effect on pregnant women. Royce White, former NBA
basketball player.

Speaker 5 (18:26):
You know, right right now, I'm just having a blast
in my feminine era. I never thought that I was
a woman, you know. I've always trusted the science, and
I thought I was a man my entire life. But
you know, after further review, I, you know, look a
strong look at my personal preferences, it would appear that
I am indeed sometimes identifying as a transgender woman. And

(18:48):
I think it's only fair I'd get a chance to
play with with some of my queens here in the
twilight of my career, my athletic prime.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
I love this guy. Do you remember Royce White? I
obviously don't, but I looked him up and looks like
he was taking sixteenth overall in the twenty twelve NBA draft.
But then he had generalized anxiety disorder, particularly a severe

(19:16):
fear of flying, so he wasn't able to fly on
the team plane and grounded his career. But it's about
to get resurrected in the good old WNBA, where W
doesn't mean what you might think it means. So yeah,
so this is it's just such a beautiful thing to

(19:37):
watch right after Freedom Canter came out last week as well,
and he was an NBA star and declared for the
WNBA Draft, And obviously they just want to show the
dishonesty of the league in claiming that, oh, it's all
about inclusion, protrans this and that right, which which causes
so much harm around the country, because the message is
that your daughter's grade school team, middle school team, high

(20:00):
school team, she should have to lose her spot to
a boy or a man, she should have to share
facilities with them in some sports, they should get to
see her naked and you know, or they should have
to play against a man in their sports. So that's
the environment the WNBA is pushing, which is vicious and

(20:20):
cruel and completely phony, because you can be sure they're
not going to let it happen to the women in
their league, which they should not. They should not let
that be done to the women in their league. And
I don't think either of these former NBA players wants
it to be done to the women in the league.
They just want them to stop being so dishonest and
causing so much harm across this country. These phonies trying

(20:44):
to shame girls in their parents all over the country. No,
you got to let that boy play on the team
because it's all about inclusion. Yeah, but when they got
skin in the game in the WNBA, no, there's no
way they're going to let the guys play. So, you know,
the commissioner sends out this memo about how this is
such a complex and nuanced issue. Where's the complexity, where's

(21:05):
the nuance? Yeah, it's it's a boy or it's a girl.
There are only two choices, and and God decided which
it was going to be and nobody can change that.
So this is beautiful and it's going to be so
much fun to watch. What do you think the ultimate

(21:26):
We know what the resolution is going to be. The
WNBA is not going to let men play in the
WNBA and then they're going to try to find a
way to have their cake and eat it too and
still be able to say it's all about inclusions. So yeah,
little girls in high school girls, you should be subjected
to men playing in your games, just not our big

(21:46):
girls here in the WNBA. So how do you think
they get from here to there? I'd love your take
on that. Three oh three seven one three eight two
five five d an five seven seven three nine. Now, hey,
if you're the WNBA and what you can about is
if your top priority is making money, let these guys play.

(22:08):
I would watch. I greatly respect girls and young women
and women of every age who for all the effort
they put into their sports. But I don't watch the
WNBA because to me, it's it's not interesting because they
can't jump. That's that's no reflection on them. Still admire
the effort, but you start mixing in some guys out there,

(22:30):
you know, in the midst of all these phonies talking
about inclusion, this and that, and you start mixing in
some guys out there in the midst of the beating
that you know Caitlin Clark's been taking into. I would
watch How would you like it if Kaitlyn Clark's enforcer
now is Royce White? And I admire the heck out
of Sophie Cunningham. But what if for enforcer now is

(22:51):
Royce White or Freedom Canter? I would watch that. Maybe
you end up with all hybrid league now where it
has a comedy of men and women. So this is
going to be fun to watch, be interesting to see.
We know where it's headed, but how the league tries
to get there when they know they're living a lie,
because that's been you know, these kind of them up

(23:13):
someday maybe third, maybe thirty years on air that I've
been blessed with. That's always one of the most fun
things to expose and then watch when you've got people
or institutions that are living a lie. Like the whole
legalized abortion movement has been built on a lie. And
the lie was that's just a blob of tissue, and
then ultrasounds finally disproved that lie, and then they shifted to, yeah,

(23:37):
it's a baby, but the mom should have a right
to kill it, and so the support is steadily decreased,
not fast enough, but yeah, So this is another one
of those living a lie. Everybody out there who says
a man can be a woman, they're living a lot.
And when it's the man himself, that's a really sad thing.
And I've known some people. One of the people I

(23:57):
admire most in the whole world a man who believes
he's a woman and still admire the heck got him.
But for other things, it's just really sad for those individuals.
But for those people who try to turn it into
a political issue to accomplish their own goals, No, they're
just peddling a lie, and they're just trying to force

(24:20):
you to bend the knee and to say that you
will agree that what's false is true so that you
can get X not canceled or this job or whatever. Yeah,
it's sick and we got to stand up to it.
And thank god people did in the last election three
oh three seven one three eight two five five, d

(24:40):
an five seven seven three nine and Aaron Lee and
all those people back in the Protect Kid Colorado Amendments,
they're standing up to it too, because one of those
amendments is you cannot be butchering these kids while they're
still kids. It's really sad that it's legal to do
it to adults, but it should not be legal in
Colorado to do it to kids. And that should go

(25:04):
without saying, right. So it'll be very interesting to see
the campaign against it. And why do you think the
left is willing to put tens of millions into defeating
that so that these doctors and the left can still
cut the breasts off healthy young girls and the penis
is off healthy young boys. Why do you think they're

(25:26):
so motivated to do that they'd spend tens of millions. Yeah, Hey,
I need your help and you know, whenever I say
that it is true, I've never said it once in
all these decades when it has not been true. But
I do need your help. I'm trying to figure out
what is going on with our dog, Kelly. Kelly is
thirteen and she's I call her a white golden. Somebody

(25:50):
said she's a golden cream or whatever. But she's the
sweetest little dog in the world. When Jet our golden
passed away at like twelve, it came at a very
hard time. The kids are traumatized. I went online to
find a dog, and a true miracle that, you know.
I see this picture of this this white looking retriever,
and I order it up and it's going to be delivered.

(26:11):
I hate the next day, what are the odds it's
actually a white dog in that crate? You know, it
could have been anything, but we got lucky and it
was a great dog. And now thirteen years later, as
she's she's not on her last legs. You know, she's
slowing down pretty good. But here's what I'm dealing with.
Amy's back helping Joe get moved in. His first job

(26:36):
is out of state, and she's helping him get moved in.
And I'm taking care of Calli, and all of a
sudden she's starting a freak like I'll be in the bathroom,
like literally in the bathroom part of the bathroom, and
she'll jump up and she'll start pawing the door to
open it and come into the bath And that was
a nuisance. But then and I take her out at

(26:58):
the movie, she's said no nothing. Then I go to
grab a shower and she's jumping up on the shower
door all freaked out. And I'm looking around to see
are there ghosts or something? But I guess you wouldn't
see those. And then she forces her way into the shower.
So then she's she hates water. She's in the shower

(27:21):
with me getting drenched. What causes that kind of behavior? Past,
I've asked for your help because thunder freaks her out,
but there was no thunder whatsoever. I wish we had
a big storm, we need it, but there wasn't one.
So what do you think is causing this for a
dog to force her way into the shower with me

(27:42):
when she hates water? And what is the fix? You're
on the dan Kapla show bill, Maher.

Speaker 6 (27:54):
And finally near old Donald Trump has told one trillion lies.
But when he says the Democratics sosts of America are
actually communist, that's not one of them. And it's not
hard to prove it just by quoting the DSSA and
their candidates. Dat E Vance was on the show and
I told him that if the Democratic Party keeps going

(28:14):
in the direction of the dssay, my vote was in
play and all I heard all vacation is oh my god,
you're a Republican. Now.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
No, that's not what I said. I said in play.

Speaker 6 (28:26):
And here's why, because not a week goes by where
I don't read about some newly chosen, exciting, new face
in the Democratic Party, and then when that face opens
its mouth, the communist Manifesto or some other crazy.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
Shit comes out. Again. Let's just read the quotes.

Speaker 6 (28:45):
The DSA platform says your work, you work as much
as you are able, and no more than needed. If
that was any closer to Karl Marx's dictum from each
according to his abilities, to each according to his needs,
they'd be sued for plagiarism goes wrong.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
But it's such a fun moment. We're living it because
Democratic Party is eating itself and it's eating itself, not
a real division of socialist and others. It's eating itself
because you have the out of the closet socialist versus
the ones who want to try to hide it. And
they're a handful of people in the Democratic Party who

(29:25):
are truly moderate, but they're rare and they're a vanishing breed.
And so now it's a beautiful thing to behold because
now it's going to start to cost empower. Not here
in Colorado yet, but I think sometime in the very
foreseeable future, but certainly a very important Senate seat like Michigan.
That's not a done deal yet. Democrats could still win it,

(29:46):
but Democrats would be a shoe in with a normy candidate.
That's still pretty weird, right because the normy dem right
now is so much further left than many you vote Democrat,
But now that they've got this open radical socialist, anti
semi to campaigns, it's one of the most hateful people
on the planet, Hassan Piker, as malt Kiros did repeatedly

(30:08):
in her campaign, Then yeah, in a place like Michigan,
he's probably gonna lose. We haven't indeed sound from him today,
have we we need some every day just to give
us hope.

Speaker 7 (30:19):
So, if you are elected and make this push, would
you need to increase taxes?

Speaker 2 (30:24):
As I've said across this campaign, I am for taxing
billionaires there wealth.

Speaker 7 (30:28):
What about people who make less? For billion less than
a million dollars? Though doctor el said, what about people
making less than a million dollars?

Speaker 2 (30:36):
So for the average person, and you look at your
W two if you're if you're an employee, he gets
paid every two weeks or four weeks.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
After you pay.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
Your taxes, the next biggest check that comes off the
top of your your your pay stub is to your.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
Health insurance company. So imagine instead of paying that to.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
Your health insurance company, who CEO makes twenty million dollars
a year. Instead you you paid a little bit more
in taxes or health care that you wouldn't lose if
you lost your job, or turn twenty six, or got
married or got divorced. I think all of us would
be a lot more interested in that kind of a
system if we knew that our healthcare would be free
at the point of care, and would be free without

(31:14):
having to worry about losing.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
But it's not free. You're paying for it. You're just
paying the government instead of a private health insurance. How
many people in the right mind would trust the government
to deliver it well sing it in general.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
So there's an opportunity here, I think, to trade what
we give to a big corporation, who gets to decide
who we get to see and who we don't for
a little.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
Bit much out there of the government decide that.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
But more paid into FICAM. And I think that's a
trade that's worth making. I think the broader public understands
that that's a trade worth making, considering how many people
are holding medical data third of all Michigan households right now.

Speaker 7 (31:48):
Just to be very clear, you're describing this trade off,
you are effectively acknowledging that people making less than a
million dollars could see their taxes go up.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
I just wouldn't be very clear, is that.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
I yes, I'm saying that we'd be paying for health
care in a different way instead.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
Of right through higher taxes. So good job Kristen Welker
pinning him down there and listen. It's one thing, you know,
these policy discussions that expose him as a socialist, But
then you get to the other part of this, which
is his extreme radicalism and anti semitism, and by the way,

(32:24):
bringing it back home to tumolot Kiros in CD one,
I'd still like somebody to explain to me how somebody
who is calling for the state of Israel to be abolished,
We're not talking about policy changes or fight differently in
Gaza or something like that, to be abolished. How can

(32:44):
somebody want that and not be anti Semitic? Or have
you ever known anybody who wanted that who wasn't anti
Semitic and didn't have other really serious clues of being
anti Semitic, like not being willing to admit the person
who firebombed people at the Boulder March to support Jewish

(33:08):
hostages was anti Semitic. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:12):
No.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
And the beautiful thing about all this, it harkens back
to me to the night of that great Horror of
Columbine and I was called in to host the national
coverage off KOA next door, and I had as a
guest that night then Archbishop Charles Shep Pew, and we
were talking about that age old question of why does

(33:34):
this good and great God allow evil? And then we
were talking about free will and the principles behind free will.
But then Archbishop Shep Pew made this great point that
God always causes good, God never causes evil. That that's
a matter of the free will we're given, and people
abuse that free will to commit evil. But God always

(33:57):
causes good to rise up against evil. And that's what
we're seeing happen right now. Because this socialism stuff, it's evil.
It's just evil. Not everybody who votes for Socialist is evil,
Some are just misguided or whatever, but the people who
practice it and pursued his public policy, that's just flat evil.

(34:17):
And you're seeing good rise up against that evil, even
within the Democratic Party though a lot of those people
are just motivated by hey, don't say the quiet part
out loud, we want to keep winning elections. But you're
seeing this good rise up against this evil. That's a
very positive thing. Yeah, so a lot to look forward to,

(34:38):
right Shannon Scott doing such a great job behind the glass.
Appreciate his help tonight. One of the things, among many others,
we're planning on talking about tomorrow with AI exploding the
way it is, these big data centers and would you
want one in your neighborhood? I bet not? And what
kind of restrictions should we have on those, you know where?
Should they be allowed? Because I mean, you look at

(35:02):
the disaster that ensued from first allowing the legal pot,
but then allowing all these marijuana stores in the middle
of neighborhoods and everything else, and all the harm that's cause. Okay,
we'll talk about that more tomorrow. Thank you, shann and Scott.
Have a safe evening. You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
