WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.520 This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast 2 00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:05.759 edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to 3 00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:08.240 give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind, 4 00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:11.599 and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every 5 00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:16.399 single day on your favorite podcast platform. Knway is worth 6 00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:18.920 fighting for, right, and that's why Trump's going down this 7 00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:21.800 tariff road. Now. I'm no expert on tariffs, but I 8 00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:25.920 trust Trump on this for lots of different reasons, including 9 00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:30.120 the fact that the present trajectory is going to crash 10 00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:34.840 us and the American way depends on making stuff here 11 00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:38.159 and not depending on other countries, let alone some of 12 00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:41.960 our enemies. So what we're doing now isn't working. So 13 00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:44.880 I think this is worth trying. So let's go back 14 00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:48.000 to the phone lines. It's been fascinating, just an explosion 15 00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:51.719 of tremendous callers. Not all agree, obviously, that wouldn't be 16 00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:55.039 any fun, but boy, I can't wait for this call. 17 00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:57.960 Let's go to a Dan in Denver because the rumor 18 00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.600 on the street is that this is Dan Johnson who 19 00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:04.840 sold me and I'm still grateful for it to this day. 20 00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:08.840 The amazingly beautiful Corvette that I had for too short 21 00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:13.120 a time because our too small garage required it to 22 00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:16.200 to go away so my wife could park inside. My decision, 23 00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:21.519 not hers, Dan, is this you it is? How the 24 00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:22.239 heck you doing? 25 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.239 I'm doing great? And I sold that corvette to a 26 00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:29.359 dear friend of mine in Austin, so it's it's home. 27 00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:31.799 Oh. I am so glad to hear that, curly one 28 00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:34.920 of the most beautiful pieces of art I've ever seen. 29 00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:37.760 Not even get into the car thing. It was just 30 00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:39.959 beautiful to sit there and look at My wife was 31 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:44.359 the same way. She loved looking at it. It's just amazing. 32 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:45.840 Does your buddy still have it? 33 00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:46.719 Oh? 34 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:48.959 Yeah, yeah, I talked to them all the time. He 35 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:49.359 loves it. 36 00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:52.040 Well, I hope you understand. So my wife and I 37 00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:54.359 sat down together, we came up with that color scheme 38 00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:57.200 and everything else because you were so kind to allow 39 00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:58.519 us to order one from you. 40 00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:03.000 Yeah, and I don't know whether you remember, but you 41 00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:04.640 had a Tahoe from me too for. 42 00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:08.319 Well yes, oh well, and more than that. More than that. 43 00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:10.240 That doesn't just a couple of them, you know, one 44 00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:13.319 of the greatest cars. And I know this sounds unbelievable, 45 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:15.800 but true. We talk about it all the time. That 46 00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:19.319 Traverse that we had from you was one of the 47 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:20.960 yes cars we ever had. 48 00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:26.520 Yeah, I forgot about that. And yeah, yeah, you're talking 49 00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:29.800 about the tariffs, and I'm no expert either that I 50 00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:34.039 understand that Mexico and Canada isn't affected right away, which 51 00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:38.840 is probably good for you know, the you know, because 52 00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:41.199 a lot of General Motors and Ford I think the 53 00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:45.400 f one fifty Rions cars built in Mexico. I think, okay, 54 00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:50.800 and you know, hopefully that's not affected too badly. Uh, 55 00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:53.800 you know, but we all have a lot of stock 56 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:57.199 right now, so you know, it's a hopefully it'll even 57 00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:00.479 out and it's a short term problem that you know, 58 00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.599 I don't. I don't know what to think. It's it's 59 00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:03.719 very interesting. 60 00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:06.280 Well, I know you're an expert and I'm not. And 61 00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.879 now I assume you're still withll In Lyle. I am, 62 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.039 and I just want to put in a plugged everybody, 63 00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:15.960 not a paid plug, but len Lyle Chevrolet out and Aurora. 64 00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:19.759 Where As Dan mentioned, I've had the Tahoe, the Corvette 65 00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:21.960 had that Traverse for a while, and I know there 66 00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:25.599 were more just a phenomenal My experiences with the dealership 67 00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:29.560 always phenomenal, So Dan on the tiff. Then for people 68 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:33.080 sitting here today saying, Okay, the headlines say twenty five 69 00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:39.000 tax on foreign imports, you're saying it's more complicated. 70 00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:43.560 Than that, I think. So, Yeah, there's so many parts 71 00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.400 that are built here, there and everywhere that you know, 72 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:51.280 go to Mexico, go to you know, wherever. You know, 73 00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:57.039 we have cars that come from Korea. We have two 74 00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:59.599 of our smaller cars that come for Korea. Not when 75 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:01.599 I'm a little worried about because I don't know how 76 00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:04.439 he's going to handle that, But yeah, it's going to 77 00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:04.960 be interesting. 78 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:05.080 Man. 79 00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:07.639 General Motors hasn't really talked about it at this point 80 00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:10.759 what they're going to do. I'm sure I'll hear something 81 00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:13.560 in the near future, but I guess we wait and 82 00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:14.080 see him. 83 00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:16.319 Yeah, well, i'd love to have you back on as 84 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:19.519 this becomes reality and we see the impact on the ground. 85 00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:22.959 Well, you're welcome to call me anytime, Dan, You have myself, 86 00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:25.120 so yeah, tell me anytime. 87 00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:27.560 I will do that, my friend. Thank you, thanks for 88 00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:28.319 being on today. 89 00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:30.759 You bet take care, you take care. 90 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.360 Thank you, Dan Johnson. I've got to tell you just 91 00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:36.399 you know, I have never met a better person in 92 00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:38.560 the car business. Is separate apart from the car business. 93 00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:42.160 You talk about a solid guy, always good to his word, 94 00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:45.240 always going out of his way. Yeah, yeah, real deal 95 00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:45.879 right there. 96 00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:49.639 Just to clarify, although I respect that Dan thinks that 97 00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:52.040 I drive a Ford F one fifty, I wish it 98 00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:55.240 is actually a Ford Focus manufactured in Michigan. 99 00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:01.120 But your focus is on the F one fifty. Okay, Yes, 100 00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:02.279 so we're clear. 101 00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:03.439 That's exactly to tell you. 102 00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:07.560 I absolutely loved my F one fi. Yes it is. 103 00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:09.600 It's the original pickup truck. 104 00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:13.480 And I'm trying to remember why I got rid of it. 105 00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:15.439 I can't even remember why I got rid of it, 106 00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:18.920 but I absolutely loved it, and everybody in the family 107 00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:21.480 loved it. There was no downside to that vehicle. Let's 108 00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:23.759 go to Dean and Arvada. You're on the Dan Kaplis, 109 00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:24.360 so'll welcome. 110 00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:29.759 Hey Dan, good afternoon. Uh. I just I guess I'm an. 111 00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:35.519 I don't understand how people think the reciprocal TEARFF isn't fair. 112 00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:40.680 You know, the guy from Kentucky Ram police put us 113 00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:41.279 in a recession. 114 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:45.279 Yeah, but how how is it then that they put put. 115 00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:48.279 Two hundred three hundred percent tariffs on us? But that 116 00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:49.600 didn't put them in a recession. 117 00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:51.680 M hm, I mean don't. 118 00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:55.600 There's no explanations or like if we're going to collect 119 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:58.279 the same amount of tear of money from them, and 120 00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:00.720 we are kind of like the big bully on the playground. 121 00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.319 We should be able to dictate our economics to the 122 00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:07.240 countries that need us. I mean, I think the USA 123 00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:12.079 could be self sufficient without any trade partners. I think 124 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.160 they need us more than we need them, especially like 125 00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:18.240 in Vietnam. I mean we kind of could bully them around. 126 00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:20.800 I mean, I hate to use that terminology, but you know, 127 00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:25.879 we do have the biggest wallet, and you know it's okay. 128 00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:28.319 I think if we can dictate some of these terms. 129 00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:31.079 Deane appreciate the call. Thank you, my friend, trying to 130 00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:33.639 get everybody in. You know, I'm glad Dean mentioned Rent 131 00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:35.920 Paul because I have a lot of respect for Rent Paul, 132 00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.480 and I take his concerns seriously, and I have no 133 00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:41.560 doubt they're sincere. On the other side of the ledger, 134 00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:43.959 you have Dean's point and everything else we've been talking about, 135 00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:47.000 and clearly what we're doing now is not working, and 136 00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.040 we are on a trajectory toward a very, very bad 137 00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:54.199 place on multiple levels, right, whether you're talking the deficit, 138 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:57.319 the debt, whether you're talking something that I think is 139 00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:01.639 even more important, which is the cohesion of America. Because 140 00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.120 to have a cohesive America, and it's never going to 141 00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:07.160 be all puppies and rainbows and unicorns, but to have 142 00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:11.839 a cohesive enough America, right, we cannot have this ginormous 143 00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:15.920 gulf between the economic haves and have nots. And we 144 00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:20.800 are trending toward that. And so I trust in Trump 145 00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:23.680 on this, I really do. And I understand there's risk involved. 146 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:26.800 But can you think, in your life, or in America's life, 147 00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:31.480 has there ever been anything great accomplished without enormous risk. 148 00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:34.079 I'll take it a step further, Ryan, I challenge you. 149 00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:36.800 I challenged Kelly for an example. Has there ever been 150 00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:40.560 anything great accomplished without significant pain? 151 00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:43.439 No? 152 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.000 I mean this is going to be something that will 153 00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:49.319 be studied for history many years from now, Dan, and 154 00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:52.360 that it's really unprecedented, certainly in this century, and I 155 00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:54.360 would say even going back to most of not all, 156 00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:57.560 of the twentieth century. As to whether this tariff policy 157 00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:00.680 will have its intended effect, whether Trump will win on 158 00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:04.240 this bet on himself, I mean This is his analysis 159 00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:07.319 of the world trade market and America's place in it. 160 00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:09.480 And I have to agree with all of our callers here, Dan, I. 161 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:13.120 Don't see how it's unfair for us to reciprocate tariffs. 162 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:15.160 I might add, many of these are not as high 163 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:16.839 as Donald Trump wanted to go. He wanted to go 164 00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:19.360 tit for tat you tariff as fifty percent, will teariff 165 00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:21.519 you fifty percent. But he went down the list. He 166 00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:25.439 had a sign a poster and it was about half. 167 00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:29.399 So whatever China tariffs us, we're tariffing about half in return. 168 00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:31.399 And I think that kind of tips his hand a 169 00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:33.279 little bit as to where he wants to go with this, 170 00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:35.879 which is not he doesn't want to have these tariffs 171 00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:40.080 last forever. They're intended to bring down the tariffs that 172 00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:42.759 other countries are putting on us. And this is the 173 00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:45.960 best tactic, bully tactic that he has arrow in his 174 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:49.120 quiver to make that happen, to force that to happen. 175 00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:51.840 No, I appreciate that, and I expect a little more 176 00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:55.399 credit from my philosophical point about but what great things 177 00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:57.919 in life ever happened without some pain? I think it's 178 00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:01.600 built into it's built into kind of the human condition. 179 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:03.960 I mean, what's the greatest thing that happens in life, right, 180 00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:06.919 the birth Ryan Schuling, the birth of Kelly Cusera, the 181 00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:11.559 birth of everybody listening. Well, those things don't happen without pain. 182 00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:15.039 And so I'm just glad we have a leader. Whether 183 00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:16.840 this works or not, and I think it's going to 184 00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:19.480 or he wouldn't be doing it. I'm glad we have 185 00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:23.200 a leader who's willing to suffer some political pain for 186 00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:27.480 himself to try to break the cycle we're in, because again, 187 00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:30.519 the cycle we're in does not end in a good place. 188 00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:32.919 But I would also predict to you, and we could 189 00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:37.600 bet another Tomahawk, and I would predict to you that 190 00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:41.720 this is this victory is one much faster than people expect, 191 00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:43.960 because I think there are going to be a lot 192 00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:46.519 of deals cut because of what our last caller referred 193 00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:50.039 to the economic might of America. And once Trump commits 194 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:54.039 to okay, I'm willing to suffer some political pain in 195 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:57.000 order to get fairness for the American people. Well, the 196 00:09:57.000 --> 00:10:00.159 American might is going to be such economically that you're 197 00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:02.360 going to get a lot of actors who then cut deals. 198 00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:04.879 And and so I think the gain is going to 199 00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:08.960 be quicker than people expect. How about Mike in Beautiful Denver, Colorado. 200 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:13.120 You're under Dan Caplish. Oh Ryan is ordering a break, Mike, 201 00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:15.279 I'm sorry, I just work here. Three or three someone 202 00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:18.080 three eight two five five text d A N five 203 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:20.120 seven seven three nine. 204 00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:28.600 And now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. 205 00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:32.639 Nobody wants pain for their constituents. I don't want pain 206 00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:33.679 for the people of Florida. 207 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:36.720 Donald Trump said, there will be. 208 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:35.399 But. 209 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:37.519 You are. 210 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.440 But you are making an assumption without knowing the details. 211 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:44.279 I'm not making the assumption. Donald Trump himself said there 212 00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:47.200 was pain, and you're making an assumption. 213 00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:50.559 You are making an assumption, an economic assumption. Right now, 214 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:54.399 Let's be very clear. The real pain economically has been 215 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.960 the massive blow inflation coming from bloated overspending here in Washington, 216 00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:01.399 d C. That is the real pain that the American 217 00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:04.120 people have felt the last four years. Well, what President 218 00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:06.720 Trump is trying to do now is bring industries back 219 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:07.799 to the United States. 220 00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:10.120 Boy, he is good and he's going to be a 221 00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:13.000 great governor of Florida. Byron, Donald's glad you're with us. 222 00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:15.919 We're talking about tariffs. I don't claim to be an 223 00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:19.000 expert for the reasons we've talked about. I trust in 224 00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:22.519 Trump on this and believe me, I share his goals 225 00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:26.919 and the current trajectory we're on, Yeah, n ain't gonna work. 226 00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:30.159 So let's have the conversation tying into that twenty five 227 00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:33.879 percent tariffs on American non foreign cars. Pardon me, as 228 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:37.480 of tonight, so we're talking about the best American made 229 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:40.559 cars in different price categories. Thank you Ryan for the 230 00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:43.159 bump music on Broncos. I can tell you we absolutely 231 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:46.679 love our Bronco, which must be what two years old 232 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:48.320 now because it was one of the first to come 233 00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:50.519 off the line and it must see it must be 234 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:52.399 about two years old. But we love it. We've never 235 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:55.840 had a single problem with it. A text rass before 236 00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:57.600 we go back to the phone lines, if you want 237 00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:00.080 to call three oh three, seOne three A two F 238 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:04.080 I five have had tremendous callers today and text D 239 00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:07.399 A N five, seven, seven through nine, Dan says a texter. 240 00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:10.279 Why do you think Trump didn't do this tariff thing 241 00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:13.440 in his first term? Well, one initial two times see 242 00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:17.720 and see the coup and COVID right, he's up against 243 00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:20.320 a coup attempt in the Russian hoax, and then of 244 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:24.360 course we had COVID. But but yeah, if you're gonna 245 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:26.279 do it, this is a perfect time, I think, and 246 00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:30.639 opportunity to do it. Where are we going next? Young Ryan? 247 00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:33.360 Is it Mike in Denver, Colorado? You're on the Dan 248 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:34.480 Kaplis Show. Welcome? 249 00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:36.320 Yeah, how are you doing this? 250 00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:37.919 Then? Live in the dream, my friend? 251 00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:41.080 All right, I have to say, see, I'm on the 252 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:44.879 down people. I guess the Democrats think, I don't think, 253 00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:48.039 or what the American people don't think. But I'm sure 254 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:51.759 these other creations truf saying, hey, we're gonna do a 255 00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:55.159 little shift. I know we got probably share that they 256 00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:58.480 have to have too. You know, we may need products, 257 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:01.679 but wish you all that you're chaffing us, so we 258 00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:04.320 don't care if you the stuff you need to So 259 00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:07.679 you either you want your stuff from us. You're gonna 260 00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:09.759 be fair with your chair. We'll be fair with our chair. 261 00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:13.759 And I don't know why of the American people or nobody, 262 00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:16.039 maybe I'm the only one. I think the people who 263 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:18.679 listen to this show, they know your taking just listening 264 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:23.120 to people weren't hearing, but definitely fair. I'm going to 265 00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:24.600 do to you, the same thing you're gonna do me. 266 00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:26.159 You wanna be thair of me, I'm gonna be thair 267 00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:28.480 to you. But Trump's even taking on one step further. 268 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:31.320 He's saying, look, I'm not gonna hit you full blessed. 269 00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:34.759 Yet he didn't say that, but he's saying, I'm giving 270 00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:37.360 you a chance. So how are we going to do this? 271 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:40.519 Are we going to be fair with each other? Or 272 00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:43.159 do we have to renegotiate some more? And that's really 273 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:43.679 not all I have. 274 00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:48.000 Hey, thanks, Mike, appreciate the call. We've had such tremendous 275 00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:51.120 callers today. And listen, we all understand, right, there are 276 00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:54.120 a bunch of foreign countries now that don't need our 277 00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:57.639 stuff as much as we need their stuff, in part 278 00:13:57.720 --> 00:14:01.399 because they make stuff a lot because of cheaper labor, 279 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.159 and also because America has lost so much of our 280 00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:08.559 manufacturing base. Now, I know there is some stuff we 281 00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:12.080 make here people desperately need. I'm talking more broadly. Trump 282 00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:15.279 obviously is taking bold action. That's what he was elected 283 00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:20.080 to do to try to reverse this decline in American manufacturing. 284 00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:22.840 And you talk about a worthy goal on lots of 285 00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.279 levels and the economic Yes, it's enormous, but also for 286 00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:29.840 the cohesion of this nation, the need for a very 287 00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:34.080 very strong manufacturing base because of the type of quality 288 00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:39.320 jobs and the benefits and enduring jobs that that provides, 289 00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:43.120 and that goes to just the core stability of our society. 290 00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:45.519 Because I guarantee you this, and you know it's true. 291 00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:49.240 If we keep going down this road and there's this 292 00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:54.519 enlarging separation between the economic haves and the economic have notts, 293 00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:57.960 that's horrific for the cohesion of this nation. That's not 294 00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:00.440 going to work long term. That's going to lead to 295 00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:03.519 a lot of very very bad things on a societal level, 296 00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:07.919 a political level, an economic level. And it's also not 297 00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:12.600 consistent with most people's faiths. So no, I really appreciate 298 00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:14.840 what the president's doing. I don't claim to be an 299 00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:17.320 expert in it all. I trust him on this. And 300 00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:21.039 the other point is, wait a second. This guy he 301 00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:24.320 wants to win, right, He defines himself as a winner. 302 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:28.600 It is his very persona and personal identity, and so 303 00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:31.080 he has such an easy option to all this that 304 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:34.679 he's not taking. He's only doing this because he's convinced 305 00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:37.039 it's best for this nation and that it's going to succeed. 306 00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:40.480 I think he's earned the trust in that, and Lord knows, 307 00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:44.279 his political opponents have earned zero trust on any level. 308 00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:48.080 They're incompetent liars, most of them three or three seOne, 309 00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:50.919 three eight, two five five text d An five seven, seven, 310 00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:57.159 three nine. Let's get to us some more of our texters, Dan, 311 00:15:57.240 --> 00:15:59.600 Why do so many people think Trump is stupid and 312 00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:04.320 wants to fail. I don't know if there's anybody who 313 00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:07.240 truly believes Trump is stupid. I don't think there's anybody 314 00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:09.679 who truly believes Trump wants to fail. I think the 315 00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:13.799 Democrats are hysterical about the tariffs, not because they think 316 00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:16.759 they will fail, but because they think they will succeed. 317 00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:20.440 Because Democrats know the math. Once people start making seventy 318 00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:24.039 five thousand dollars in this country, they vote Republican by 319 00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:28.799 a significant margin. So Democrats are terrified. Tariffs are going 320 00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:32.039 to work. Trump is going to and the Republican Party 321 00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:35.120 extend its support among working people. And at that point, 322 00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:38.960 our biggest question is when do we plan the electoral 323 00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:43.720 funeral for the Democratic Party? Dan, You got to correct, 324 00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:46.320 all auto parts are foreign made, majory majority of auto 325 00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:48.840 parts until we get American companies to make them. Six 326 00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:51.279 months two years is how long we pay twenty five 327 00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:53.960 percent plus more for parts we normally get. Here's my 328 00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:58.480 big point that I think you're going to see deals 329 00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:04.000 cut quickly. So just for example, when it comes to 330 00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:07.400 to be I pick any foreign manufacturer of automobiles BMW 331 00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:09.200 is a bad example because they make so many cars 332 00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:12.599 here already. But you know we don't have to wait 333 00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:15.440 two or three years until they have their plants built 334 00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:17.519 here and everything else. I think Trump is going to 335 00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:22.000 cut deals and in exchange for this assurance that they're 336 00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:24.200 going to build this, this, this, this and that in 337 00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:27.960 America and some way to you know, verify and confirm 338 00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:30.240 and hold them to all that, you're going to see 339 00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:36.000 the tariffs lifted soon in exchange for those guarantees. I 340 00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:38.680 think that's the sort of thing that you're going to see. 341 00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:41.880 And so I don't think it's going to take all 342 00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:47.400 that long for this to succeed. Brian, my friend, sir, 343 00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:49.559 I know we only have a few seconds before this break. 344 00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:51.799 Then we'll get back to our calls and textures. But 345 00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:57.200 if the car ferry waved a wand right now and said, Brian, 346 00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:00.119 you have been a great citizen of this country and 347 00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:03.920 a superb iHeart employee. Wow, you can have any American 348 00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:06.000 made car. You have to choose it in the next 349 00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:07.720 five seconds. What would it be. 350 00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:11.640 Nineteen eighty two Chevrolet Corvette as driven by Tom Sellek 351 00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:12.400 and Magnum. 352 00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:15.200 Pi taker of a frat. 353 00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:17.039 Giddy. 354 00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:19.400 Well then I'm wrong, okay, but that's the car I want. 355 00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:21.799 That's okay. Well, I don't blame it. You're on the 356 00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:23.359 Dan Capla Show. 357 00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:35.960 You're listening to the Dan Kapliss Show podcast. So it's 358 00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:37.000 not so much pain. 359 00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:41.720 You might have some temporary adjustments in our economy, but 360 00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:44.240 that is for the growth of the American economy, long 361 00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:47.319 term stability and jobs over the long term for the 362 00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:50.519 American people and American workers. And that is actually a 363 00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:53.319 good way to take our economy as opposed to following 364 00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:57.119 the same terrible policies of the previous administration and the 365 00:18:57.119 --> 00:19:03.000 Democrats written large of just subsidizing industries and raising the 366 00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:05.880 debt of the United States. That is not the way 367 00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:08.519 that you that you actually build an economy. 368 00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:13.000 Byron Donald's talking about tariffs, and we've had a lot 369 00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:16.200 of great callers on tariffs. Obviously, a lot of different perspectives, 370 00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:18.680 but would love yours because it's real today, right. Trump 371 00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:21.200 put them on, as you heard in the newscast, ten 372 00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:25.640 percent generally, but China I think thirty four percent, Japan 373 00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:28.440 twenty percent. And then within the tariffs, you know, there 374 00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:33.759 are some different permeations there as well, so but generally speaking, yeah, 375 00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:36.319 it's on now, So I want to get your react. 376 00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:39.119 The reason Ryan's playing this great American car music is 377 00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:42.480 because we've had this big tariff put on foreign cars, 378 00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:45.519 and so we're talking about the best American cars, the 379 00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:49.039 best American cars for the money and hopefully and it's 380 00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:51.400 a big, big purpose of the tariffs, right is to 381 00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:56.359 bring back manufacturing to America. Car manufacturing front and center 382 00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:00.759 along with other categories. So yeah, talking about best American 383 00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:04.400 cars for the money, other issues pertaining to American cars 384 00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:07.480 as well. And you know, in the Denver market, we 385 00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:11.319 just heard a Sean Hannity spot for something called burn 386 00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:17.039 Up by RNA, which is a non lethal alternative. It 387 00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:21.119 essentially is a sophisticated is it pepper spray kind of gun? Ryan, 388 00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:22.480 I'm just looking at a. 389 00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:25.759 Non lethal gun for self defense, yes, yeah. 390 00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:28.039 And can you remind me let's make that a talk 391 00:20:28.119 --> 00:20:30.640 topic for a different day. I know we're doing tariffs today, 392 00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:33.440 but I'd really like to have that conversation because I'm 393 00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:35.480 going to go ahead and order one. And yeah, I've 394 00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:38.559 got my array of firearms, and if you saw me 395 00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:41.000 right now, i'm broadcasting remotely, I've got one sitting right 396 00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:43.680 here next to me. But I really don't want to 397 00:20:43.759 --> 00:20:46.000 kill anybody unless I have to. And I would guess 398 00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:49.960 ninety nine point nine percent of the audience agrees. And 399 00:20:50.119 --> 00:20:53.079 so if you're in a situation where a non lethal 400 00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:56.279 option will get the job done, I would very very 401 00:20:56.359 --> 00:20:59.519
