Speaker 2 (00:15):
I think the weather's going to cooperate because it's the
right kind of weather today for good Friday, Right, it's
just kind of gloomy and sad. And then tomorrow, Son,
I'll be peeking out probably by midday or so, at
least in the front range in Colorado. And then Sunday, Yeah,
should be just a glorious sunny day. And I know
you may look at the temperature and say sixty one,
(00:36):
but listen, we know here if you have been a
live in Colorado, you know sixty one if you don't
have a lot of wind, is like a perfect temperature.
But the big thing is blue sky, sunshine for Easter.
Sunday should be dried out. Then I think for kiddies,
if any of them are having like outside egg hunts
or something like that, we're doing our egg hunt inside.
(00:56):
So I'm not too worried about in clement weather, but
just love having the sunny Easter Sunday three or three
someone three eight, two, five, five, seven, seven, three nine.
Taking a lot of calls on those proof of God
moments in your life. We're talking about some of the
big ones, right, but you know those things that can't
be scientifically explained or just very powerful reason to believe you. Okay,

Kapla Show.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Welcome Brent, Hey, good assnoon Dan. I'm seventy four years old,
but in my life mostly a veteran, but I also
come across a lot of different things. Particularly there were
missionaries that were in trouble and there were people seven
or eight people or twenty five people praying for them,
(01:54):
and they survive some very dangerous circumstances. And later the
missionaries were back on furlough, they were in a church
and said, we were the we survived this, and we
were the missionaries there and the reason why we were
(02:15):
not killed is because the bad guy said, we were
surrounded by these huge gentlemen, and we didn't want to
mess with them.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
It it's something you can't explain.
Speaker 2 (02:25):

It's Orlanda thank you.
Speaker 8 (03:46):
Yeah. I was uh, save from a fiery furnace. I
was working in Golden, Colorado and we had what was
called at fluids fluo solid roaster, which was like a
big chimney and I was a lab tech working on that.
Speaker 9 (04:09):
And what it was we had fansized particles that we
were heating.
Speaker 10 (04:15):
Up to.
Speaker 8 (04:17):
Not between nine hundred and eleven hundred degree fahrenheit, and
it acted like fluid. And it was supposed to be
the whole thing was supposed.
Speaker 9 (04:29):
To be under vacuum, especially when.
Speaker 8 (04:32):
We were opening it up to take a test of
what we were burning in there, and it was under
pressure and the cap exploded off and it was spewing
out what looked like lava. And I was shouting at
my other lab techs, get back, get back, but I
(04:53):
was the only one in front of it, and one
little fansized particle was all that hit me.
Speaker 11 (04:58):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Wow t H teddy Yeah.
Speaker 8 (05:03):
And there was sand size particles all around me.

Wow.
Speaker 8 (05:09):
And you know afterward, when.
Speaker 7 (05:11):
We're cleaning up, I was on.
Speaker 8 (05:13):
Sand, running up and down the stairs all you know.
Speaker 12 (05:19):
It burns the.
Speaker 8 (05:20):
Soles of my shoes when I was, you know, trying
to get them make sure everyone else was safe.
Speaker 9 (05:26):
But I didn't get hit. I could have you know,
been burned.

Sure severely.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Sure. Now what a great story. And Linda really appreciate that,
and I appreciate you calling from Kenyon City. We get some
great callers from Kenyon City, Colorado. Uh, let's go closer
to home. We're broadcasting from Denver today. Talked to Rocky
and Centennial three or three see three eight two five
five text d A N five seven seven three nine.
We'd love your proof of God's story. Hey Rocky, how
(05:53):
you doing?
Speaker 13 (05:54):
Hey Dan? Good?
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 8 (05:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
So I'm a police officer of twenty two years. Sorry,
I choked up every hell.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Appreciate your service.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
And uh, this is just in my first few years
on and uh, I was working swing shift and we
had the serial robbers that would come out every so often.
This is usually you know, late at night, ten thirty
eleven o'clock, they go out hit a liquor store when
part of town, and they would go across town hit
(06:29):
another one, knowing that a lot of the cops are
going to be tied up over at the other scene.
Check in the area and all that. So they did that.
This robbery call comes out at this liquor store, and
this other officer decided, well, I'm going to sit tight here,
and he goes to the nearest one kind of hides
in the shadows, and sure enough, these guys come out
and he starts chasing them. They run into this apartment
(06:51):
complex where they ditch their car and they take off
on foot. So tons of cops are going into this
apartment complex and I had over there, can't even get
in because of all the police cars blocking it and everything.
So I'm just right on the kind of the perimeter
of the complex and there's this brick wall that surrounds it,
(07:12):
and me and a couple other officers are standing there
kind of figuring out where it is that we need
to go, and one of them just says, well, man,
I just can't believing he couldn't have gotten too far.
And I had one of those gift of fear moments
that you've ever read that book, where it was just like,
holy cownt. I grabbed my flashlight and shined it over
where the wall kind of came to a corner, and
(07:33):
it was real dark, and there was the guy that
crouched down done ten from safely got him into custody.
So I go home after ship that night and I
don't sleep a wink. So I'm laying there and the
next morning, my wife wakes up and cuddles up next
to me and you know, says, you know how you doing.
(07:54):
And I relay the story to her and keep in mind, shoot,
at the time, she's pregnant with our first child. So
she's going to bed at like eight thirty every night,
and like, I tell her the story and she's like, well,
what time was that. I said it was about eleven
thirty last night. She's like, oh my gosh. I was
(08:15):
lying in bed. I couldn't get to sleep and I
felt God say you need to pray for your husband.
Speaker 11 (08:21):
Wow, she said.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
So she gave a quick prayer and said, wherever he is,
keep him safe.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
And she said that was at eleven thirty last night,
and then she rolled over and went to sleep right afterwards.
Speaker 13 (08:34):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Man, Well, thank you rockets. That is powerful. That is powerful.
Speaker 12 (08:41):

two five five the number. Yeah, how do you explain that?
Speaker 11 (08:52):
Right?
Speaker 2 (08:53):

So take up more of those calls. We love, absolutely
love that. Three or three someone three eight two five
five text d A N five seven seven three nine.
Getting some good text on that as well. When we
come back, I'll try to squeeze in. I don't want
to take callers time, but I'll try to squeeze in
(09:13):
one of mine. And you know, as as you'll see,
like with so many of our callers, there's no other
explanation than proof of God. You're on the Dan Capitlas Show.
Speaker 14 (09:31):
And now back to the Dankaplass Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Okay, proof of God. Those moments in your life. I'd
like to share a couple, but I'm not going to
take callers time. And we are in fuego on this.
Let's go to Brian in Fort Collins. You're on the
Dan Capitalis Show.
Speaker 12 (09:47):
Welcome, Hello, Hello, Fie, great show, Thank you, thank you. Yeah,
I'd like to listen to you.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Appreciate it.
Speaker 12 (09:55):
I have five and a half years ago, I had
a poof of God's story. I was in the military.
I haven't ran since I was in the military, and
I've had a sit down job for the last thirty
two years. And I was obese. I was about two
hundred and ten fifteen pounds and I'm five seven, I'm
(10:16):
fifty six now. I'm fifty six now. And I went
to the doctor for my checkup and she goes, Brian,
you're obese. You're gonna start getting health issues if you
don't do something about it. And she looked me straight
in the eye and told me you got to do
something about it. Well, months before that, I was having
dreams about every other day, twice two three times a week,
(10:38):
and of the Peloton tread and it was specifically the
Peloton tread. It wasn't any just any tread. Yeah, the treadmill.
And I couldn't figure out why am I having dreams
about the tread Why is this? So I was walking
out of the doctor's office and I was like, Oh,
I got to do something, and that's popped in my head,
(10:59):
that's why and having the dreams. So before I got home,
I called Peloton ordered to tread and I been running
ever since. I lost about sixty five.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
Pounds that I've kept off for the past five and
a half.
Speaker 12 (11:11):
Years, and I think it's saved my life because all
my I don't have to tick blood pressure medication anymore,
all my levels and everything are down nice.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
And that just proved to me what.
Speaker 12 (11:23):
I already knew any new knew anyway, But it just
it was my proof of God moment.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, hey, man, appreciate the call. Thank you for that.
I personally believe very deeply in guardian angels. That sounds
like a Guardian angels sing to me. Let's go do Pat.
You're on the dan Kaplas Show. Welcome Pat.
Speaker 11 (11:39):
Hey, mister Dan, how you doing? Remembering? Yes, I text you.
I left your message one time about your PSA. You
left when I went up to an intersection and you
always say look both ways before you go through a
red light, even if it's green. Right, And I'm sitting
at the intersection. I start the head out and I
(12:01):
stopped and remember what you said. I look both ways
and this lady came sliding right through the intersection.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I brought me Wow.
Speaker 11 (12:08):
And it's all because of what you said. Not do
it every time I make my wife do it, and
I appreciate it. I'm still puddling up about it.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Man, you just made my year like my whole life.
Thank you for that. No, I thank you for seeing that,
and I'm glad you're with it.
Speaker 11 (12:23):
I'll never forget you.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Oh, thank you Pat. That side, Amen to that, Amen,
thank you Pat. That just that makes my That makes
my life right there. And what Pat's talking about is
is often on the show. I just say to people,
please tell your whole family tonight and remind him a
couple of times a week when the light turns green,
(12:46):
look both ways before you go. Because so many people
are running red lights now at high speeds. You cannot
trust that green light. You gotta look both ways first.
So how cool have Pat to call in and share
that story. Let's go to Dennis in Morrison. You're on
the Dan Capitlis. She'll welcome Dennis.
Speaker 7 (13:05):
Hi Dan, Happy Easter. Thanks being my call. I'd like
to tell a quick story about my mom. We all
grew up with the best moms. I know you did,
I know I did. My mom was a police officer
in nineteen forty five. She worked for PASTENAPD and she
later married My father was He worked for the District
Attorney's office in LA and she had seven kids. My
(13:29):
mom was very religious. They sent all seven of us
to Catholic school. Back in the fifties and the sixties.
My mom passed away fairly young, and I had to
go to an Italian member of our parish who was
supposedly connected to get my mom. My mom's services at
(13:51):
her church of fifty years and buried in Forest Lawn
up in West Comina, California. Well, everything happened.
Speaker 11 (14:00):
Well.
Speaker 7 (14:01):
My wife and I were driving eastbound at sixty five
miles an hour on the ten Freeway. We were going
right by the gates of Forest Lawn. It's a big,
big cemetery, and we were talking about my mom. I
looked when I left my wife will look to her left,
and right outside my passenger window was a white dove,
oh man, flying with our car. And I'll never forget it.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
And and there she was.
Speaker 7 (14:28):
There was that word that my mom made it and
uh uh yeah, I thought to share that with you.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Oh, thank you man. That is so awesome, Thank you
for that. Appreciate that. I mean, how do you explain that.
I mean, one of the chances there's a white dove
riding with their car, there is that is so incredibly cool.
Let me try to squeeze in Tracy and long mantre
on the dan Kaplis. She'll welcome Tracy.
Speaker 11 (14:52):
Hey, what's going on there?
Speaker 14 (14:53):
I dream?
Speaker 2 (14:54):
How about you?
Speaker 13 (14:56):
You know what I mean? They call it that. You know,
there's a lot of dreaming going know. I A'm saying
your country song in a long time? He please do
which which one you want to hear? You get down
the field, and you get down the boat. You kick
off your shoes and you throw them on the floor,
dance in the kitchen till the morning like Louisiana Saturday night.
(15:18):
And then here I'll tell you about.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Yes, why well, I tell you what. If you drive
to the.
Speaker 13 (15:25):
End of Louisiana Avenue there in Denver, it ends at
the Arts Diocese, the Catholic Arts Diocety of Denver, and
if you look over the sanctuary, there's the try and
I that's on the state Silver Colorado. And we discussed this.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
That that well you know that this is the proof
of God.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
He well, yeah, well, you know Nile.
Speaker 13 (15:47):
Sin New mean nothing without providence and the watchful, careful
eye over all the.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
God's creation and and and what this state.
Speaker 13 (15:56):
Was established for in the neglect that's going.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
On when this state it's actually a shame. You know,
when when.
Speaker 13 (16:05):
People notarize documents and everything, you know, they really should
give recognition to what the power of the State of
Colorado really represents. It as a Roman FASCII own it.
There's many symbols on that they give recollection to the church.
And then I wanted to say something to you about
that Pat Benatar song that he was playing.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
Also, all right, well we belong to the father you know,
Rome was.
Speaker 13 (16:30):
Actually called the Fatherland, and so you think about that,
and you think about this establishment of the church and
all these things.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
So there's much dimention about.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
You, Tracy.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
We really really appreciate the call, because Tracy I couldn't
believe it when he told me this. Remember that call, Ryan,
when he said, the state seal of the State of
Colorado nothing without God. Wow, And look how far we've
fallen from that, right, I mean you look at you
look at how secular, how hostile, to openly hostile to
(17:06):
God that the powers that be in Colorado are right now,
not all of them, of course, but you look at
the Democratic Party in Colorado, how openly hostile to God
and to faith it is. And there are some people
within the leadership of the Democratic Party who they're believers,
but look at what the party itself as doing. I mean,
(17:27):
obviously the US Supreme Court season, how many of these
key landmark religious liberty cases now do they take right
out of Colorado because of as the Supreme Court has
an open the open hostility towards Christianity. Hey, want me
come back more of these great proof of God's stories.
I'll tell you one of mine. You're on the Dan
Kapitla Show.
Speaker 14 (17:53):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I've got a couple of my own. I'll squeeze in,
but I don't want to take the call time. I
do want to go to the VIP line quickly and
welcome back to the show a tremendous parental rights advocate
Aaron Lee and eron. You were just published in the
Wall Street Journal, right, Hey, Dan?
Speaker 15 (18:12):
Yeah, I just actually stopped at King Supers and picked
up my copy.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah, no, I would frame that. I mean, that's a
big deal because you know, I think I think the
Wall Street Journal has become very liberal in the news pages,
but still a conservative and extraordinarily smart in the editorial
pages most of the time. So for you to get
published there and the words of Joe Biden. That's a
big blanken deal.
Speaker 15 (18:35):
Very exciting and excited to be have my friend Aaron Friday,
a mom from California who basically has an identical story
to mine, to be able to do this together.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Yeah, And if you would give people who haven't heard
you yet just a kind of a quick feel for
your story which is so terrifying, but you fought so
hard for your child, and then tell them a little
bit about this piece that's published in the Wall Street
Journal today.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Yeah, four years ago, my daughter was secretly.
Speaker 15 (19:02):
Transitioned in a confidential gender and sexuality club disguised as
an art club, and convinced that she was born in
the wrong body and that she should not tell her
parents about it, taught how to medicalize without my knowledge
or consent, and it took us almost a year to
rescue her from this cult, this mentality that she had
been born wrong, and it was a dark, very year.
(19:25):
And so Aaron Friday from California, she and I have
exactly the same story, and so we wrote this op
ed for the Wall Street Journal about just how insane
and egregious this house Bill thirteen twelve here in Colorado
is well, and.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
It's entitled A journal may have put the headline on
Colorado's totalitarian transgenderism bill, but obviously to get published in
the Wall Street Journal. They see the enormity the importance
of this issue, and you wrote very well to it.
Speaker 15 (19:57):
Well, thank you. Yeah, we have the tagline. It would
deem us both child abusers, and it's an all out
assault on the freedom of press, the freedom of speech, businesses, churches,
private schools, our First Amendment rights, our parental rights. It's
an all out assault on Colorado. And then it has
ramifications that you know, extend to other states if parents
(20:19):
can get here with their kids.
Speaker 10 (20:21):
If this bill.
Speaker 15 (20:21):
Passes, we will be a total lockdown state where no
other court orders or laws or custody agreements will be
relevant here in Colorado. So we truly have already become
the trans sanctuary state for mutilating and transitioning children, but
this would just triple down on that status for the
(20:42):
state of Colorado. We are just off the rails this
session in the legislature. It's almost like maud Red Guard.
You know, they're enabling our kids to determine the parameters
of how parents will parent them. You know if they
choose a different name and pronoun, we as parents will
be forced to go along with that and transition our
(21:04):
kids or else risk losing them to the state.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
You can't even wrap your minder on that, but I
know it's real because I've read the bill. Explain the
part where all of a sudden you become a child
abuser if you tell your son that, hey, you're really
Joe and not Jane.
Speaker 15 (21:23):
Yeah, it defines misgendering or dead naming, and those are
new terms for a lot of people. Dead naming is
using your child's given name, real name, the name that
you gave them.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Right.
Speaker 15 (21:33):
If you were to do that, the state is defining
that as coercive control or child abuse and enabling the
court to determine that your abusive in custody situations. And so,
of course that affects parents who are divorced or split
up and are going through custody hearings, but it also
affects this could be used against two loving parents like
(21:54):
my husband and I who said, no, we're not going
to call you by that name and we're not going
to use those pronouns, and that's not what it's best
for you, because we your parents act in your best interest.
And you know, we were faced with that decision, and
we acted out of love and care and concern for
our daughter. And if we had not refused to use
the new name and pronouns, we're not even sure she'd
(22:15):
be alive. It was so all encompassing, the darkness that
was caused by this impossible pursuit to change her sex,
especially at such a young age, when she was already
so vulnerable. So it's really scary to think that the
state is trying to force parents like me, good loving
parents to harm their own children knowingly or else lose them.
(22:36):
And I know we've talked about the suicide myth before, Dan,
where we were bullied with that. You know, do you
want a living son or a dead daughter, You must
go ahead and transition them or they will kill themselves.
And now the state is adding to that, you must
transition them or else the state will take them.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Well, let me ask you this key question, Arin, why
are they coming for the children? I mean, you had
it happened to you, you fought to save your child,
you succeeded, you defeated them, But why do they keep
coming for the children.
Speaker 15 (23:06):
Well, you know, as we said in the article, it
feels to palitarian. It feels like we are under complete
Marxist control, where the state truly believes that they own
our children, that they act in the best interests of
our children, and that parents are considered abuse of until
proven innocence. Truly, the state, in so many ways, not
(23:27):
just Bill thirteen twelve, but las of bills preceding it,
have been subtly stripping away our parental rights for years,
and the state is in this position where they truly believe,
at least the radicals who are running our state the legislature,
believe that they know better than parents when it comes
to our children.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Well, Aaron, I hope that you or somebody else can
pin Michael Bennett, since he's the presumptive Democrat nominee at
this point, can pin him down on thirteen twelve. Does
he support thirteen twelve, because that that alone should disqualify
him for the office of governor. But somebody needs to
pin them down. They need to pin every Democrat down.
We're soon going to know about Polis right.
Speaker 15 (24:07):
Right, well, and you know there's a lot of stuff
guards that we still have. This has not been introduced
in the Senate, so they rammed it through the House.
They tried to rush it through without us noticing that
it had even been introduced. And so now it's being
held by the Senate. It's not been read over the desk,
and so it's clear that our pressure is working, that
the Democrats in Denver are scared of all the heat
that's been brought as a result of this bill. And
(24:29):
we've even heard rumblings that the Democrats their own side,
is trying to kill this bill behind closed doors, that
national orgers like Glad and p Flag are trying to
kill it because they recognize the juice is not worth
the squeeze, that this bill is so radical and has
guarnered so much negative attention that it's not worth it
for them to continue to pursue it.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Well, keep up the great work. I mean, first you
saved your own child, now you're saving other children. And
I have to believe that most people across party lines
want to save all the children from this, but that's
not going to stop the left. So keep up the
great work. How can people follow you?
Speaker 13 (25:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 15 (25:06):
I go by air and four Parental Rights up on
us all social media, and I also run an organization
called Protect Kids Colorado. To Protect Kids Colorado dot org
and we'll be running citizens VALLID initiatives this summer to
combat these horrible bills.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Love it, love it, Thank you, Eron, you take care,
Thanks for having me, Dan, Thank you. That is Aaron
Lee just doing such great work. And when you think
about it, like Lindsay dot go out and Jeff co
and you think about all of these people, and they're
not all women, but many and most of the most
successful grassroots organizers who have really had a major impact
(25:42):
on events in Colorado are women, and they've risen up
and they've just saved a lot of kids. And you know,
I mean, it reminds me of my mom, who was
kind of the same way, mother of five south side
of Chicago, on the Southwest Side, and she just she
got right into the heart of some big community issues
(26:04):
and made such a big difference. And yeah, it's Hey,
it's the best, right, it's the best of who we are.
On this Good Friday, we're talking about proof of God,
proof of God's stories from our listeners and our callers.
I have one I want to throw into the last segment,
but but we'll open up the phone lines again to
that will squeeze them in on text as well. So
three or three someone three eight two five five text
(26:26):
d A N five seven seven three nine your proof
of God's story. You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 14 (26:39):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
A Proof of God show that we do on Good
Friday and some other days. And these stories are so powerful,
right because so often there's no explanation for what happened
other than God. I'll give you a quick one and
then we'll go to the lines. And it was it
was early in my long career, and I was representing
this wonderful, amazing young mother who had just the perfect
(27:04):
little boy, single mom. And this perfect little boy, Danny
Gibbons was I believe he was a first grader when
he was killed outside of school on an icy street
and he was killed by a motorists, not the motorist's fault,
because the city had been warned over and over and
over again that that street was icy and dangerous and
(27:27):
had not been sanded. You know, there was after I
took the case on, we found multiple nine to one
month calls warning the city you got to get somebody
out there. And then the city claimed they had, but
they hadn't, and so I took that case on and
I'm representing Laurie and we've gone to trial, and at
the beginning of the trial, I think from everything I
(27:48):
could tell, the whole town was against us, because you
know that the reporting at that point no fault of
the press. I think they'd just been fed bad information
by the city. The reporting had been very inaccurate about
what it is. What happened. Little Danny was in the crosswalk,
properly crossing the street when he was killed because the
city had failed to stand the intersection. So we go
(28:08):
to trial. Odds are against us, and it's you know,
it's just me and so and Lori and so we
get through the first day of trial and very intense
put on a ton of witnesses. I'm going to have literally,
I think I put on eighteen to twenty witnesses the
second day. So I'm up very late at night early morning,
(28:29):
hours before that second day of trial, and I've got
some staff folks who are down in a conference room
down the hallway, and my office has at that time
had these big windows in there. So I'm working as
hard as I can. I can remember it like thirty
seconds ago, and and I just, you know, got to
(28:49):
about two in the morning, and I just face planted
it right onto my desk. I was just out like
a light. And there's not a lot of sleep, as
you imagine, preparing for trial. There's a lot of people's jobs,
there's not a lot of so I'm just out like
a light. My staff doesn't know that. They're down the
hall in a conference room getting some paper or some
exhibits ready for the next day. And then all of
(29:09):
a sudden, there is this boom. Man, it is like
a bomb went off. And I remember just waking up
thinking a bomb had gone off in the office. Everybody
comes running down the hall, what the hell happened? And
then all of a sudden, there's a Black Slaw Dictionary,
which is this ginormous Bogus's biggest book you can picture
(29:30):
at that time, Black Slaw Dictionary, which had which had
literally flown at least six or seven feet from the
credenza next to my desk all the way across the
room and slammed against the window. And that's what had
created the big boom. And you know how it is
sometimes when something wakes you up in such a way,
(29:52):
you're just full of adrenaline. And I was full of
adrenaline and just stayed up the rest of the night
and all through the next day. God willing, it was
a tremendous next day, and the jury got it right,
and this mother won a great victory to help protect
other kids. But all I'm telling you is, there is
no explanation whatsoever, no earthly scientific explanation for how that
(30:15):
Black Slaw Dictionary gets from that credenza across the room
and slams against the window. And yeah, so I still
gives me chills when I think about it. Let's go
to Joe and Arvada. You're on the dan Kaplas show.
Speaker 10 (30:28):
Welcome, Okay.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
Yeah, So I was in the.
Speaker 10 (30:32):
Marines eighty to eighty three, and actually I was, of course,
I was with the Airwing. And the joke amongst Marines
is swing with the wing. And you know, other than pilots,
when you're in the Marine Corps, if you're with the
Air Wing, you got it made. I mean, it's nothing
like being attached to, you know, the combat arms. But
(30:53):
I was a corporal two years in and there came
up a billet for three months. TDA temporary duty assignment
to Oaka. Now, and this is no splassified information, but
there's there's several ships that are always sailing the globe
that are loaded with you know, material for war, right, tanks, artillery,
(31:16):
this and that, and so once a year they come
to oak and now to Naha Harbor, right, and we
offload them and mostly the tanks, some of the artillery
and other things. You know, they have to be serviced,
change the oil, make sure everything's.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Good, blah blah blah.
Speaker 10 (31:31):
And so this one particular morning, this one ship. So
when we're offloading these vehicles, this one ship, there was
like a hard right turn to get to the ramps,
so the tanks could offload and you know, go into
the harbor. So we'd have to direct them, right, we
have to direct them. And I did that, I don't
(31:51):
know two and a half three hours, and at some
point the first sargeant comes up and he says, I'm
not going to say anything. He says, you know, take
a break. We're going to send in corporal such and such,
and like thirty minutes later there's all this commotion. I'm like,
what the hell, Well, the tank that he was directing
(32:12):
and offloaded, slipped on the ramp, crushed him against the bulkhead,
which if you don't know what bulked, it's just the
side of the ship. Yeah, and you know he was
killed in You know, I'm thinking, man, that very well
could have been me. I mean, it would have been me, right, So,
and it's still it's still I don't want to say
(32:37):
haunts me, but it still kind.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Of sure yeah sure. Oh man, Well, hey, thank you
for your service and so glad you made it, and
feel horrible for you, you know, for your brave colleague
who did not And man, Brian, we never got to
your proof of God moments. Well, we'll do the show again.
(32:59):
We don't do it on that side.
Speaker 16 (33:01):
I mentioned the hospice nurse who called earlier. Yeah, I
think there were definite moments during that caretaking from my
mother where I felt God's presence and I went to
church that morning, the morning of my mom's death.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Yeah, no, that's yeah, No, you're right, those moments, right,
those moments like the caller we had earlier, who was
moved to tears remembering on the way past the cemetery
and this white dove running down stuff like that and
flying right next to the car. Yeah, yeah, so many
great calls today. Appreciate everybody on that. And we'll do
(33:34):
this segment a bunch and then just talk about, you know,
some of the big world events where obviously there's no
scientific explanation, but hope you have a tremendous easter. Sun's
going to come out by midday tomorrow in the Front
Range area and should be sunny for everybody across the
state on Sunday, which is awesome. You need that sunny
easter Sunday, so I hope you enjoy every minute of it.
(33:54):
The Sheriff, Steve Reims, will be in the house on
Monday talking about in part we'll talk about last up
at how the left has made Colorado so much more
dangerous than what the fixes. Have a tremendous easter and
please be here Monday on the Dan Kapla Show
This is Dan Caplis, and welcome to today's online podcast

single day on your favorite podcast platform for you.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I think the weather's going to cooperate because it's the
right kind of weather today for good Friday, Right, it's
just kind of gloomy and sad. And then tomorrow, Son,
I'll be peeking out probably by midday or so, at
least in the front range in Colorado. And then Sunday, Yeah,
should be just a glorious sunny day. And I know
you may look at the temperature and say sixty one,
(00:36):
but listen, we know here if you have been a
live in Colorado, you know sixty one if you don't
have a lot of wind, is like a perfect temperature.
But the big thing is blue sky, sunshine for Easter.
Sunday should be dried out. Then I think for kiddies,
if any of them are having like outside egg hunts
or something like that, we're doing our egg hunt inside.
(00:56):
So I'm not too worried about in clement weather, but
just love having the sunny Easter Sunday three or three
someone three eight, two, five, five, seven, seven, three nine.
Taking a lot of calls on those proof of God
moments in your life. We're talking about some of the
big ones, right, but you know those things that can't
be scientifically explained or just very powerful reason to believe you. Okay,

Welcome Brent, Hey, good assnoon Dan. I'm seventy four years old,
but in my life mostly a veteran, but I also
come across a lot of different things. Particularly there were
missionaries that were in trouble and there were people seven
or eight people or twenty five people praying for them,
(01:54):
and they survive some very dangerous circumstances. And later the
missionaries were back on furlough, they were in a church
and said, we were the we survived this, and we
were the missionaries there and the reason why we were
(02:15):
not killed is because the bad guy said, we were
surrounded by these huge gentlemen, and we didn't want to
mess with them.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
It it's something you can't explain.

Yeah. I was uh, save from a fiery furnace. I
was working in Golden, Colorado and we had what was
called at fluids fluo solid roaster, which was like a
big chimney and I was a lab tech working on that.
Speaker 9 (04:09):
And what it was we had fansized particles that we
were heating.
Speaker 10 (04:15):
Up to.
Speaker 8 (04:17):
Not between nine hundred and eleven hundred degree fahrenheit, and
it acted like fluid. And it was supposed to be
the whole thing was supposed.
Speaker 9 (04:29):
To be under vacuum, especially when.
Speaker 8 (04:32):
We were opening it up to take a test of
what we were burning in there, and it was under
pressure and the cap exploded off and it was spewing
out what looked like lava. And I was shouting at
my other lab techs, get back, get back, but I
(04:53):
was the only one in front of it, and one
little fansized particle was all that hit me.
Speaker 11 (04:58):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (04:59):

We'd love your proof of God's story. Hey Rocky, how
(05:53):
you doing?
Speaker 13 (05:54):
Hey Dan? Good?
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 8 (05:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
So I'm a police officer of twenty two years. Sorry,
I choked up every hell.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Appreciate your service.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
And uh, this is just in my first few years
on and uh, I was working swing shift and we
had the serial robbers that would come out every so often.
This is usually you know, late at night, ten thirty
eleven o'clock, they go out hit a liquor store when
part of town, and they would go across town hit
(06:29):
another one, knowing that a lot of the cops are
going to be tied up over at the other scene.
Check in the area and all that. So they did that.
This robbery call comes out at this liquor store, and
this other officer decided, well, I'm going to sit tight here,
and he goes to the nearest one kind of hides
in the shadows, and sure enough, these guys come out
and he starts chasing them. They run into this apartment
(06:51):
complex where they ditch their car and they take off
on foot. So tons of cops are going into this
apartment complex and I had over there, can't even get
in because of all the police cars blocking it and everything.
So I'm just right on the kind of the perimeter
of the complex and there's this brick wall that surrounds it,
(07:12):
and me and a couple other officers are standing there
kind of figuring out where it is that we need
to go, and one of them just says, well, man,
I just can't believing he couldn't have gotten too far.
And I had one of those gift of fear moments
that you've ever read that book, where it was just like,
holy cownt. I grabbed my flashlight and shined it over
where the wall kind of came to a corner, and
(07:33):
it was real dark, and there was the guy that
crouched down done ten from safely got him into custody.
So I go home after ship that night and I
don't sleep a wink. So I'm laying there and the
next morning, my wife wakes up and cuddles up next
to me and you know, says, you know how you doing.
(07:54):
And I relay the story to her and keep in mind, shoot,
at the time, she's pregnant with our first child. So
she's going to bed at like eight thirty every night,
and like, I tell her the story and she's like, well,
what time was that. I said it was about eleven
thirty last night. She's like, oh my gosh. I was
(08:15):
lying in bed. I couldn't get to sleep and I
felt God say you need to pray for your husband.
Speaker 11 (08:21):
Wow, she said.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
So she gave a quick prayer and said, wherever he is,
keep him safe.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
And she said that was at eleven thirty last night,
and then she rolled over and went to sleep right afterwards.
Speaker 13 (08:34):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (08:35):

So take up more of those calls. We love, absolutely
love that. Three or three someone three eight two five
five text d A N five seven seven three nine.
Getting some good text on that as well. When we
come back, I'll try to squeeze in. I don't want
to take callers time, but I'll try to squeeze in
(09:13):
one of mine. And you know, as as you'll see,
like with so many of our callers, there's no other
explanation than proof of God. You're on the Dan Capitlas Show.
Speaker 14 (09:31):
And now back to the Dankaplass Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Okay, proof of God. Those moments in your life. I'd
like to share a couple, but I'm not going to
take callers time. And we are in fuego on this.
Let's go to Brian in Fort Collins. You're on the
Dan Capitalis Show.
Speaker 12 (09:47):
Welcome, Hello, Hello, Fie, great show, Thank you, thank you. Yeah,
I'd like to listen to you.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Appreciate it.
Speaker 12 (09:55):
I have five and a half years ago, I had
a poof of God's story. I was in the military.
I haven't ran since I was in the military, and
I've had a sit down job for the last thirty
two years. And I was obese. I was about two
hundred and ten fifteen pounds and I'm five seven, I'm
(10:16):
fifty six now. I'm fifty six now. And I went
to the doctor for my checkup and she goes, Brian,
you're obese. You're gonna start getting health issues if you
don't do something about it. And she looked me straight
in the eye and told me you got to do
something about it. Well, months before that, I was having
dreams about every other day, twice two three times a week,
(10:38):
and of the Peloton tread and it was specifically the
Peloton tread. It wasn't any just any tread. Yeah, the treadmill.
And I couldn't figure out why am I having dreams
about the tread Why is this? So I was walking
out of the doctor's office and I was like, Oh,
I got to do something, and that's popped in my head,
(10:59):
that's why and having the dreams. So before I got home,
I called Peloton ordered to tread and I been running
ever since. I lost about sixty five.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
Pounds that I've kept off for the past five and
a half.
Speaker 12 (11:11):
Years, and I think it's saved my life because all
my I don't have to tick blood pressure medication anymore,
all my levels and everything are down nice.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
And that just proved to me what.
Speaker 12 (11:23):
I already knew any new knew anyway, But it just
it was my proof of God moment.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, hey, man, appreciate the call. Thank you for that.
I personally believe very deeply in guardian angels. That sounds
like a Guardian angels sing to me. Let's go do Pat.
You're on the dan Kaplas Show. Welcome Pat.
Speaker 11 (11:39):
Hey, mister Dan, how you doing? Remembering? Yes, I text you.
I left your message one time about your PSA. You
left when I went up to an intersection and you
always say look both ways before you go through a
red light, even if it's green. Right, And I'm sitting
at the intersection. I start the head out and I
(12:01):
stopped and remember what you said. I look both ways
and this lady came sliding right through the intersection.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I brought me Wow.
Speaker 11 (12:08):
And it's all because of what you said. Not do
it every time I make my wife do it, and
I appreciate it. I'm still puddling up about it.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Man, you just made my year like my whole life.
Thank you for that. No, I thank you for seeing that,
and I'm glad you're with it.
Speaker 11 (12:23):
I'll never forget you.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Oh, thank you Pat. That side, Amen to that, Amen,
thank you Pat. That just that makes my That makes
my life right there. And what Pat's talking about is
is often on the show. I just say to people,
please tell your whole family tonight and remind him a
couple of times a week when the light turns green,
(12:46):
look both ways before you go. Because so many people
are running red lights now at high speeds. You cannot
trust that green light. You gotta look both ways first.
So how cool have Pat to call in and share
that story. Let's go to Dennis in Morrison. You're on
the Dan Capitlis. She'll welcome Dennis.
Speaker 7 (13:05):
Hi Dan, Happy Easter. Thanks being my call. I'd like
to tell a quick story about my mom. We all
grew up with the best moms. I know you did,
I know I did. My mom was a police officer
in nineteen forty five. She worked for PASTENAPD and she
later married My father was He worked for the District
Attorney's office in LA and she had seven kids. My
(13:29):
mom was very religious. They sent all seven of us
to Catholic school. Back in the fifties and the sixties.
My mom passed away fairly young, and I had to
go to an Italian member of our parish who was
supposedly connected to get my mom. My mom's services at
(13:51):
her church of fifty years and buried in Forest Lawn
up in West Comina, California. Well, everything happened.
Speaker 11 (14:00):
Well.
Speaker 7 (14:01):
My wife and I were driving eastbound at sixty five
miles an hour on the ten Freeway. We were going
right by the gates of Forest Lawn. It's a big,
big cemetery, and we were talking about my mom. I
looked when I left my wife will look to her left,
and right outside my passenger window was a white dove,
oh man, flying with our car. And I'll never forget it.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
And and there she was.
Speaker 7 (14:28):
There was that word that my mom made it and
uh uh yeah, I thought to share that with you.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Oh, thank you man. That is so awesome, Thank you
for that. Appreciate that. I mean, how do you explain that.
I mean, one of the chances there's a white dove
riding with their car, there is that is so incredibly cool.
Let me try to squeeze in Tracy and long mantre
on the dan Kaplis. She'll welcome Tracy.
Speaker 11 (14:52):

which which one you want to hear? You get down
the field, and you get down the boat. You kick

the Arts Diocese, the Catholic Arts Diocety of Denver, and
if you look over the sanctuary, there's the try and
I that's on the state Silver Colorado. And we discussed this.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
That that well you know that this is the proof
of God.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
He well, yeah, well, you know Nile.
Speaker 13 (15:47):
Sin New mean nothing without providence and the watchful, careful
eye over all the.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
God's creation and and and what this state.
Speaker 13 (15:56):
Was established for in the neglect that's going.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
On when this state it's actually a shame. You know,
when when.
Speaker 13 (16:05):
People notarize documents and everything, you know, they really should
give recognition to what the power of the State of
Colorado really represents. It as a Roman FASCII own it.
There's many symbols on that they give recollection to the church.
And then I wanted to say something to you about
that Pat Benatar song that he was playing.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
Also, all right, well we belong to the father you know,
Rome was.
Speaker 13 (16:30):
Actually called the Fatherland, and so you think about that,
and you think about this establishment of the church and
all these things.

So there's much dimention about.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
You, Tracy.
Speaker 2 (16:42):

Colorado nothing without God. Wow, And look how far we've
fallen from that, right, I mean you look at you
look at how secular, how hostile, to openly hostile to
(17:06):
God that the powers that be in Colorado are right now,
not all of them, of course, but you look at
the Democratic Party in Colorado, how openly hostile to God
and to faith it is. And there are some people
within the leadership of the Democratic Party who they're believers,
but look at what the party itself as doing. I mean,
(17:27):
obviously the US Supreme Court season, how many of these
key landmark religious liberty cases now do they take right
out of Colorado because of as the Supreme Court has
an open the open hostility towards Christianity. Hey, want me
come back more of these great proof of God's stories.
I'll tell you one of mine. You're on the Dan
Kapitla Show.
Speaker 14 (17:53):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I've got a couple of my own. I'll squeeze in,
but I don't want to take the call time. I
do want to go to the VIP line quickly and
welcome back to the show a tremendous parental rights advocate
Aaron Lee and eron. You were just published in the
Wall Street Journal, right, Hey, Dan?
Speaker 15 (18:12):
Yeah, I just actually stopped at King Supers and picked
up my copy.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah, no, I would frame that. I mean, that's a
big deal because you know, I think I think the
Wall Street Journal has become very liberal in the news pages,
but still a conservative and extraordinarily smart in the editorial
pages most of the time. So for you to get
published there and the words of Joe Biden. That's a
big blanken deal.
Speaker 15 (18:35):
Very exciting and excited to be have my friend Aaron Friday,
a mom from California who basically has an identical story
to mine, to be able to do this together.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Yeah, And if you would give people who haven't heard
you yet just a kind of a quick feel for
your story which is so terrifying, but you fought so
hard for your child, and then tell them a little
bit about this piece that's published in the Wall Street
Journal today.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Yeah, four years ago, my daughter was secretly.
Speaker 15 (19:02):
Transitioned in a confidential gender and sexuality club disguised as
an art club, and convinced that she was born in
the wrong body and that she should not tell her
parents about it, taught how to medicalize without my knowledge
or consent, and it took us almost a year to
rescue her from this cult, this mentality that she had
been born wrong, and it was a dark, very year.
(19:25):
And so Aaron Friday from California, she and I have
exactly the same story, and so we wrote this op
ed for the Wall Street Journal about just how insane
and egregious this house Bill thirteen twelve here in Colorado
is well, and.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
It's entitled A journal may have put the headline on
Colorado's totalitarian transgenderism bill, but obviously to get published in
the Wall Street Journal. They see the enormity the importance
of this issue, and you wrote very well to it.
Speaker 15 (19:57):
Well, thank you. Yeah, we have the tagline. It would
deem us both child abusers, and it's an all out
assault on the freedom of press, the freedom of speech, businesses, churches,
private schools, our First Amendment rights, our parental rights. It's
an all out assault on Colorado. And then it has
ramifications that you know, extend to other states if parents
(20:19):
can get here with their kids.
Speaker 10 (20:21):
If this bill.
Speaker 15 (20:21):
Passes, we will be a total lockdown state where no
other court orders or laws or custody agreements will be
relevant here in Colorado. So we truly have already become
the trans sanctuary state for mutilating and transitioning children, but
this would just triple down on that status for the
(20:42):
state of Colorado. We are just off the rails this
session in the legislature. It's almost like maud Red Guard.
You know, they're enabling our kids to determine the parameters
of how parents will parent them. You know if they
choose a different name and pronoun, we as parents will
be forced to go along with that and transition our
(21:04):
kids or else risk losing them to the state.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
You can't even wrap your minder on that, but I
know it's real because I've read the bill. Explain the
part where all of a sudden you become a child
abuser if you tell your son that, hey, you're really
Joe and not Jane.
Speaker 15 (21:23):
Yeah, it defines misgendering or dead naming, and those are
new terms for a lot of people. Dead naming is
using your child's given name, real name, the name that
you gave them.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Right.
Speaker 15 (21:33):
If you were to do that, the state is defining
that as coercive control or child abuse and enabling the
court to determine that your abusive in custody situations. And so,
of course that affects parents who are divorced or split
up and are going through custody hearings, but it also
affects this could be used against two loving parents like
(21:54):
my husband and I who said, no, we're not going
to call you by that name and we're not going
to use those pronouns, and that's not what it's best
for you, because we your parents act in your best interest.
And you know, we were faced with that decision, and
we acted out of love and care and concern for
our daughter. And if we had not refused to use
the new name and pronouns, we're not even sure she'd
(22:15):
be alive. It was so all encompassing, the darkness that
was caused by this impossible pursuit to change her sex,
especially at such a young age, when she was already
so vulnerable. So it's really scary to think that the
state is trying to force parents like me, good loving
parents to harm their own children knowingly or else lose them.
(22:36):
And I know we've talked about the suicide myth before, Dan,
where we were bullied with that. You know, do you
want a living son or a dead daughter, You must
go ahead and transition them or they will kill themselves.
And now the state is adding to that, you must
transition them or else the state will take them.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Well, let me ask you this key question, Arin, why
are they coming for the children? I mean, you had
it happened to you, you fought to save your child,
you succeeded, you defeated them, But why do they keep
coming for the children.
Speaker 15 (23:06):
Well, you know, as we said in the article, it
feels to palitarian. It feels like we are under complete
Marxist control, where the state truly believes that they own
our children, that they act in the best interests of
our children, and that parents are considered abuse of until
proven innocence. Truly, the state, in so many ways, not
(23:27):
just Bill thirteen twelve, but las of bills preceding it,
have been subtly stripping away our parental rights for years,
and the state is in this position where they truly believe,
at least the radicals who are running our state the legislature,
believe that they know better than parents when it comes
to our children.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Well, Aaron, I hope that you or somebody else can
pin Michael Bennett, since he's the presumptive Democrat nominee at
this point, can pin him down on thirteen twelve. Does
he support thirteen twelve, because that that alone should disqualify
him for the office of governor. But somebody needs to
pin them down. They need to pin every Democrat down.
We're soon going to know about Polis right.
Speaker 15 (24:07):
Right, well, and you know there's a lot of stuff
guards that we still have. This has not been introduced
in the Senate, so they rammed it through the House.
They tried to rush it through without us noticing that
it had even been introduced. And so now it's being
held by the Senate. It's not been read over the desk,
and so it's clear that our pressure is working, that
the Democrats in Denver are scared of all the heat
that's been brought as a result of this bill. And
(24:29):
we've even heard rumblings that the Democrats their own side,
is trying to kill this bill behind closed doors, that
national orgers like Glad and p Flag are trying to
kill it because they recognize the juice is not worth
the squeeze, that this bill is so radical and has
guarnered so much negative attention that it's not worth it
for them to continue to pursue it.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Well, keep up the great work. I mean, first you
saved your own child, now you're saving other children. And
I have to believe that most people across party lines
want to save all the children from this, but that's
not going to stop the left. So keep up the
great work. How can people follow you?
Speaker 13 (25:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 15 (25:06):
I go by air and four Parental Rights up on
us all social media, and I also run an organization
called Protect Kids Colorado. To Protect Kids Colorado dot org
and we'll be running citizens VALLID initiatives this summer to
combat these horrible bills.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Love it, love it, Thank you, Eron, you take care,
Thanks for having me, Dan, Thank you. That is Aaron
Lee just doing such great work. And when you think
about it, like Lindsay dot go out and Jeff co
and you think about all of these people, and they're
not all women, but many and most of the most
successful grassroots organizers who have really had a major impact
(25:42):
on events in Colorado are women, and they've risen up
and they've just saved a lot of kids. And you know,
I mean, it reminds me of my mom, who was
kind of the same way, mother of five south side
of Chicago, on the Southwest Side, and she just she
got right into the heart of some big community issues
(26:04):
and made such a big difference. And yeah, it's Hey,
it's the best, right, it's the best of who we are.
On this Good Friday, we're talking about proof of God,
proof of God's stories from our listeners and our callers.
I have one I want to throw into the last segment,
but but we'll open up the phone lines again to
that will squeeze them in on text as well. So
three or three someone three eight two five five text
(26:26):
d A N five seven seven three nine your proof
of God's story. You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 14 (26:39):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
A Proof of God show that we do on Good
Friday and some other days. And these stories are so powerful,
right because so often there's no explanation for what happened
other than God. I'll give you a quick one and
then we'll go to the lines. And it was it
was early in my long career, and I was representing
this wonderful, amazing young mother who had just the perfect
(27:04):
little boy, single mom. And this perfect little boy, Danny
Gibbons was I believe he was a first grader when
he was killed outside of school on an icy street
and he was killed by a motorists, not the motorist's fault,
because the city had been warned over and over and
over again that that street was icy and dangerous and
(27:27):
had not been sanded. You know, there was after I
took the case on, we found multiple nine to one
month calls warning the city you got to get somebody
out there. And then the city claimed they had, but
they hadn't, and so I took that case on and
I'm representing Laurie and we've gone to trial, and at
the beginning of the trial, I think from everything I
(27:48):
could tell, the whole town was against us, because you
know that the reporting at that point no fault of
the press. I think they'd just been fed bad information
by the city. The reporting had been very inaccurate about
what it is. What happened. Little Danny was in the crosswalk,
properly crossing the street when he was killed because the
city had failed to stand the intersection. So we go
(28:08):
to trial. Odds are against us, and it's you know,
it's just me and so and Lori and so we
get through the first day of trial and very intense
put on a ton of witnesses. I'm going to have literally,
I think I put on eighteen to twenty witnesses the
second day. So I'm up very late at night early morning,
(28:29):
hours before that second day of trial, and I've got
some staff folks who are down in a conference room
down the hallway, and my office has at that time
had these big windows in there. So I'm working as
hard as I can. I can remember it like thirty
seconds ago, and and I just, you know, got to
(28:49):
about two in the morning, and I just face planted
it right onto my desk. I was just out like
a light. And there's not a lot of sleep, as
you imagine, preparing for trial. There's a lot of people's jobs,
there's not a lot of so I'm just out like
a light. My staff doesn't know that. They're down the
hall in a conference room getting some paper or some
exhibits ready for the next day. And then all of
(29:09):
a sudden, there is this boom. Man, it is like
a bomb went off. And I remember just waking up
thinking a bomb had gone off in the office. Everybody
comes running down the hall, what the hell happened? And
then all of a sudden, there's a Black Slaw Dictionary,
which is this ginormous Bogus's biggest book you can picture
(29:30):
at that time, Black Slaw Dictionary, which had which had
literally flown at least six or seven feet from the
credenza next to my desk all the way across the
room and slammed against the window. And that's what had
created the big boom. And you know how it is
sometimes when something wakes you up in such a way,
(29:52):
you're just full of adrenaline. And I was full of
adrenaline and just stayed up the rest of the night
and all through the next day. God willing, it was
a tremendous next day, and the jury got it right,
and this mother won a great victory to help protect
other kids. But all I'm telling you is, there is
no explanation whatsoever, no earthly scientific explanation for how that
(30:15):
Black Slaw Dictionary gets from that credenza across the room
and slams against the window. And yeah, so I still
gives me chills when I think about it. Let's go
to Joe and Arvada. You're on the dan Kaplas show.
Speaker 10 (30:28):
Welcome, Okay.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
Yeah, So I was in the.
Speaker 10 (30:32):
Marines eighty to eighty three, and actually I was, of course,
I was with the Airwing. And the joke amongst Marines
is swing with the wing. And you know, other than pilots,
when you're in the Marine Corps, if you're with the
Air Wing, you got it made. I mean, it's nothing
like being attached to, you know, the combat arms. But
(30:53):
I was a corporal two years in and there came
up a billet for three months. TDA temporary duty assignment
to Oaka. Now, and this is no splassified information, but
there's there's several ships that are always sailing the globe
that are loaded with you know, material for war, right, tanks, artillery,
(31:16):
this and that, and so once a year they come
to oak and now to Naha Harbor, right, and we
offload them and mostly the tanks, some of the artillery
and other things. You know, they have to be serviced,
change the oil, make sure everything's.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Good, blah blah blah.
Speaker 10 (31:31):
And so this one particular morning, this one ship. So
when we're offloading these vehicles, this one ship, there was
like a hard right turn to get to the ramps,
so the tanks could offload and you know, go into
the harbor. So we'd have to direct them, right, we
have to direct them. And I did that, I don't
(31:51):
know two and a half three hours, and at some
point the first sargeant comes up and he says, I'm
not going to say anything. He says, you know, take
a break. We're going to send in corporal such and such,
and like thirty minutes later there's all this commotion. I'm like,
what the hell, Well, the tank that he was directing
(32:12):
and offloaded, slipped on the ramp, crushed him against the bulkhead,
which if you don't know what bulked, it's just the
side of the ship. Yeah, and you know he was
killed in You know, I'm thinking, man, that very well
could have been me. I mean, it would have been me, right, So,
and it's still it's still I don't want to say
(32:37):
haunts me, but it still kind.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Of sure yeah sure. Oh man, Well, hey, thank you
for your service and so glad you made it, and
feel horrible for you, you know, for your brave colleague
who did not And man, Brian, we never got to
your proof of God moments. Well, we'll do the show again.
(32:59):
We don't do it on that side.
Speaker 16 (33:01):
I mentioned the hospice nurse who called earlier. Yeah, I
think there were definite moments during that caretaking from my
mother where I felt God's presence and I went to
church that morning, the morning of my mom's death.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Yeah, no, that's yeah, No, you're right, those moments, right,
those moments like the caller we had earlier, who was
moved to tears remembering on the way past the cemetery
and this white dove running down stuff like that and
flying right next to the car. Yeah, yeah, so many
great calls today. Appreciate everybody on that. And we'll do
(33:34):
this segment a bunch and then just talk about, you know,
some of the big world events where obviously there's no
scientific explanation, but hope you have a tremendous easter. Sun's
going to come out by midday tomorrow in the Front
Range area and should be sunny for everybody across the
state on Sunday, which is awesome. You need that sunny
easter Sunday, so I hope you enjoy every minute of it.
(33:54):
The Sheriff, Steve Reims, will be in the house on
Monday talking about in part we'll talk about last up
at how the left has made Colorado so much more
dangerous than what the fixes. Have a tremendous easter and
please be here Monday on the Dan Kapla Show
