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 --> 00:00:14.359 single day on your favorite podcast platform. 6 00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:17.399 How lucky we are to be alive right now? 7 00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:20.399 To paraphrase Hamilton, though, I think that's verbatim, What a 8 00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:23.039 time think about what we're living through, right And it's 9 00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:26.000 exactly what we talked about when Trump announced the quote 10 00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:28.160 tariff play. Though it's much more than that, and it's 11 00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:31.719 unfolded just as we predicted it would, which is really 12 00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:34.520 not that hard to predict, right because you look at Trump, 13 00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:37.119 it's always been the art of the deal, and you 14 00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:40.759 need leverage to make the deal. And he sees smart, 15 00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:44.799 he's successful, yet you know that he is going to 16 00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:46.840 win one way or the other. So when he needed 17 00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:49.119 to pivot today, and I think he did, I think 18 00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:51.399 he pretty much admitted that he needed to pivot today, 19 00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:56.079 needed to have some tariff relief in order to politically 20 00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:58.719 keep enough people on the reservation, et cetera. 21 00:00:59.119 --> 00:00:59.719 He did that. 22 00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:03.240 And that's why from the very beginning I've said brilliant play. 23 00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:05.719 Use the leverage. We're going to come out better than 24 00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:08.319 where we started. It's just a matter of how much better. 25 00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:10.879 And we can trust Trump to adjust along the road 26 00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:13.840 as he needs to. And that's what we're watching unfold. 27 00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:15.760 Love your thoughts. We have great text as well, the 28 00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:18.359 d A N five seven seven three nine. We'll go 29 00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:20.159 back to the phone lines in a second. Three oh 30 00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:23.480 three seven to one three A two five five the number. 31 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:26.480 And again, you know, I think we called this one 32 00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:28.799 right from the very beginning in terms of what would 33 00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:31.680 likely happen in the market, and that's unfolded. 34 00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:34.799 Nobody could be precise on the timing, but the flow 35 00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:35.200 of this. 36 00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:39.280 Yeah, but hey, I think there's going to be chop ahead. 37 00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:39.680 Right. 38 00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:42.640 You've still got China out there, You've still got this 39 00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:47.280 trade war I want to call it that with China. 40 00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.640 It needs to be fought, and Trump's the guy to 41 00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.079 fight it. But that isn't necessarily going to end painlessly. 42 00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:55.159 So I'm not saying we're going to see every day 43 00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:57.680 is going to be an upday on Wall Street. The 44 00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.719 futures right now are up a tick across the board, 45 00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:02.439 but I don't read anything into that. I wouldn't be 46 00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:06.120 surprised if tomorrow's a down day, if tomorrow's an up day, 47 00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:07.120 if tomorrow's a mix. 48 00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:07.719 All. 49 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:10.439 I'm saying that overall because I think that's what most 50 00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:12.680 people invest for, right, is not day trading. 51 00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:15.479 Overall. Trump's in control here and for. 52 00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:17.840 All the reasons we've discussed, this thing is going to 53 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:20.039 land well. And then there are going to be other 54 00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:24.080 major events as a backdrop for this, including Aron. So 55 00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:26.439 we'll talk about all that and some important local stuff. 56 00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:28.919 Let's go to Jim in Denver. You're on the Dan 57 00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:29.680 Kaplis Show. 58 00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:32.919 Welcome Jim, Hi, Dan, how are you. 59 00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:36.280 I'm living the dream, and thank you for calling earlier. Normally, 60 00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:38.840 Jim Cole, we love Jim. He calls to disagree, but 61 00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:41.360 normally it's at like five point fifty seven. So we 62 00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:44.120 have thirty seconds left, so laid on me. 63 00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:44.439 Brother. 64 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:50.080 You know two things that Donald said at the Republican 65 00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:54.759 dinner last night. I thought we're just utterly disgraceful. He 66 00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:01.240 said that by using our towerff threat, but we were 67 00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:04.520 going to be able to start ripping off these countries, 68 00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:07.319 and that those were his words. 69 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:09.960 He's ripping off, We're going to start. 70 00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:10.759 Ripping them off. 71 00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:14.360 Okay, Okay, I thought that was that in full context? 72 00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.240 Is that in full context? Full? Unfair? 73 00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:21.080 CONTI they've been what he said was they've been ripping 74 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:24.840 off us off. Now we're going to start ripping them off. 75 00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:29.719 Okay, that's just looking up because your enthusiasm is so admirable, 76 00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:32.120 but it's led you to be a not so reliable 77 00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:33.520 historian at times. 78 00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:37.159 Jim, So, I just want to check that, all right? 79 00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:38.479 And you got a problem with. 80 00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:43.919 That, oh Dan. I don't want us to rip anybody off, Okay, 81 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.919 I want a fair deal. That's all ripping off. I mean, 82 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:50.280 if it was wrong for them to rip us off, 83 00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:54.039 it's wrong for us to rip them off. What We're 84 00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:56.560 the richest country in the history of the world. What 85 00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:59.439 do you want to rip off countries poorer than us? 86 00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:02.520 My friend, my friend, it wouldn't be my choice of words. 87 00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:06.080 But did the president define ripping off? Because here's where 88 00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:07.719 I think your premise is flawed. And I'm trying to 89 00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:10.960 find the quote right now. What Trump has often said, 90 00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:13.879 right is, Okay, China's been ripping us off for years, 91 00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.319 and I don't blame them if they can get away 92 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:18.279 with it. But I'm not going to let him get 93 00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:20.920 away with it is normally what he says, and he 94 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:24.680 normally expands on his belief that nations have a right 95 00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:26.720 to act and their best interest. I mean not talking 96 00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:29.759 about wars but starting wars, but nations have a right 97 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:33.759 tect and their best interest. And that's normally even his pitch. 98 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:37.319 He doesn't fault the people out there, other nations who've 99 00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:40.120 been ripping us off, but says it's time to stop 100 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:42.480 that and we need to start acting in America's interest. 101 00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:46.959 Where his comments in that context. 102 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:51.319 He didn't confine it to China. He says the EU, 103 00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:54.680 the Europe has been ripping us off for years. He says, 104 00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:59.120 Canada's been ripping us off. He says Mexico has been 105 00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:03.199 ripping us off off. Yeah, you know, and so anyway, 106 00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:05.560 the term ripping is off. I don't want to see 107 00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:07.600 the I think you can agree you don't want to 108 00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:09.439 see the United States off. 109 00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:11.759 And I'm still trying to find the quote, my friend, 110 00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:14.040 and I'm not saying you're wrong, but I can't find 111 00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:15.160 it anywhere. 112 00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:17.480 It might very well be there. 113 00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:18.120 We'll see it. 114 00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:21.519 Yeah, yeah, but listen, when we come back to like, 115 00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:25.000 Trump's a disruptor, right, so sometimes he uses language to 116 00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:28.839 get attention. If he uses typical economic jargon, then is 117 00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:31.199 Jim talking about it on some radio show. 118 00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:32.279 So listen. 119 00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:34.800 If the idea is cheating people, no, we don't cheat. 120 00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:37.079 That's not who we are as Americans. If the idea 121 00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:40.000 is we're not going to be cheated and we're going 122 00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.319 to make sure that we act in this nation's interest. Yeah, 123 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:45.360 and I think that's what he's been all about. 124 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:50.160 But he said on something even worse than to my mind. 125 00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:55.800 He said these countries. He said, I announced the tariffs, 126 00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:00.199 and now all these countries are looking to negotiate. They're 127 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:06.319 all trying to kiss my ass and they say, hey, sir, please, sir, 128 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:10.040 could you please give us these tariffs? And I mean, 129 00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:13.000 he was mocking them. And he's talking about Japan and 130 00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:17.399 South Korea and Vietnam, these countries that have already, you know, 131 00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:21.680 tried to negotiate some kind of settlement on this, and 132 00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:26.360 he's mocking them in a really vulgar way. He's humiliating them, 133 00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:28.680 and I think it's disgraceful. 134 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:33.439 Well, let me ask you what's more disgraceful Trump using 135 00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:36.959 language like that or the other countries doing to us? 136 00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:37.759 What they've been doing. 137 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:42.639 I have no idea I have. 138 00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:45.439 Oh you do, Jim, you just don't want to admit it. 139 00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:50.639 You know that the actual actions, rather than some rough words, 140 00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:52.879 are much more disgraceful. 141 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:54.480 And we can all agree on this. 142 00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:58.879 Right If Donald Trump talked like every other politic ever, 143 00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:01.879 would have been president and the good things he's doing 144 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:05.000 would not be happening. Now, it's not the way I 145 00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:07.680 choose to talk. But last I checked, I'm not president. 146 00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:09.759 Ryan may correct me on that sometime soon. 147 00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:13.920 But but no, I don't mind. I don't mind some crudity. 148 00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:17.480 I don't mind some rough language as long as the 149 00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:22.000 underlying actions are doing good and stopping evil in a 150 00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:24.439 perfect world. Would you love to have that without anybody 151 00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:25.639 ever saying a curse word? 152 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:26.480 You bet? 153 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:33.839 I just don't think humiliating our allies, you know, would crude, 154 00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:39.000 schoolyard bully language. Is that any president should do that? 155 00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:42.439 As what he's saying, we're going to take your lunch. 156 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:45.720 Money, Well that's not what he's saying. What he's saying 157 00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:47.759 is he wants a fair deal for America. But what 158 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:50.839 I think is so revealing, Jim, and this isn't meant personally, 159 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:54.360 just actually is that you're unwilling to condemn the underlying 160 00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:58.040 conduct of the allies who've been taking advantage of us. 161 00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:01.120 I mean, what do you think a trade deficit is 162 00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:01.800 with France? 163 00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:06.120 I had no idea. 164 00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:08.720 It's big, it's it's very big in Japan. 165 00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:11.759 I love the Japanese people, But what's the trade deficit 166 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:12.319 with Japan? 167 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:17.360 So you know you finally got a guy. Oh, it's 168 00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:18.680 not a problem. Problem. 169 00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:23.959 Oh, okay, power kind of our wealth. We have a 170 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:28.680 lot more money than to take myself from us. 171 00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:33.600 Let me ask you, my friend Jim, and I'm only 172 00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:36.080 interrupting because we're up against a heartbreak. Let me ask you, 173 00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:38.399 do you get to spend much time in the Midwest? 174 00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:40.759 Do you get to spend much time in those areas 175 00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:44.639 of the country that that are doing pretty poorly right now? 176 00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:46.279 Where you've got a lot of towns that have been 177 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:49.320 hollowed out, You've got a lot of opioid addiction, you 178 00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:52.360 got an awful lot of problems because so many of 179 00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:55.200 our good and best paying jobs average manufacturing job paid 180 00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:57.840 about one hundred and two thousand with Betty's so many 181 00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:00.799 of our best jobs have now gone over to our allies. 182 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:03.440 I think you need to spend some more time in 183 00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:05.879 those parts of the country because we have paid an 184 00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:11.159 enormous price for the wealth of some of our allies, and. 185 00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:16.000 We out manufacture every single one of our allies. China's 186 00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:19.600 the number one manufacturer in the world. The United States 187 00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:20.480 is number two. 188 00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:24.879 But you're not basing that, Jim. I'm sorry interrupt, but 189 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:27.360 you're not basing it per capita. You got it, base 190 00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:29.080 it on per capita. Yeah, we have a whole lot 191 00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:32.039 of people. So when you got a whole lot of people, yeah, 192 00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:34.600 maybe the top line number is we're doing more of that, 193 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:38.000 but when you break it down to per person that 194 00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:41.440 there is no denying, Jim. There's no denying the six 195 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:45.120 million manufacturing jobs we've lost. That manufacturing is about a 196 00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:47.600 third of what it used to be. How well most 197 00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:50.960 of those jobs, there's no denying all that, Jim. So 198 00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:54.080 all I'm saying is, let's have a heart. Let's have 199 00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:57.639 a heart for the American people first, That's all I'm saying. 200 00:09:57.879 --> 00:09:59.799 Doesn't mean we mistreat the rest of the world, but 201 00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:02.240 I'd love to see the same kind of passion and 202 00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:05.919 concern that you have for our allies directed to our 203 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:08.799 American brothers and sisters. Hey, Jim, you're welcome to hang, 204 00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:10.200 but I got to hit this brake.

I think 298 00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:05.000 a lot of people probably have to balance that issue 299 00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:08.759 at home with politics and relationships. So I would guess 300 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:12.559 probably about eighty percent of the people marry somebody politically 301 00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:16.000 aligned just happened to be my soulmate had different political views, 302 00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:18.120 and yet we've been able to thrive. 303 00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:20.440 Thank God, let's go to Mike.

I'm older, I'm not in my age. 310 00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:38.639 And when they say we're the richest nation, do people 311 00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:41.799 out look at this street? We are out the riches 312 00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:45.480 around everywhere nations because there's space as you can go 313 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:47.960 and I've been there, they don't have to say atm 314 00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:51.519 they're not ATMs that stood out though, not say for 315 00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:55.240 money that's been made up seven of all?

I think 318 00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:04.159 they're still time to collect on some of that. So 319 00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:07.360 now we've got a president that's trying to bring it 320 00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:11.360 back to America. People don't want to give him a chance. 321 00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:14.879 He'd been a chance even in his life. They want 322 00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:17.919 to cut him down. Are they afraid to be able 323 00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:19.600 to say, maybe we were wrong? 324 00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:22.799 You know what they're afraid of, Mike. They're afraid, as 325 00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:26.000 I said, from day one, they're afraid the tariffs will work. 326 00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:29.120 They're afraid that Trump's power play will succeed. 327 00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:30.720 That's what they've been afraid of. 328 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:34.480 That's why they've been generating this panic porn, hoping that 329 00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:36.200 it would force Trump to stop. 330 00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:37.279 That's what they're afraid of. 331 00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:39.600 Hey, Mike, where where can you go where there's gold 332 00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:40.799 coming out ATMs? 333 00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:44.759 That's got to be our next feel really? Wow? 334 00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:50.960 Yeah, some of the some of the areas, uh you know, 335 00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:54.039 some of Asia, different places in Asia. 336 00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:58.200 Yeah, it's for good, you know, you. 337 00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:01.440 Go and there you put in because it's not so 338 00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:02.399 much money. 339 00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:02.799 Wow. 340 00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:05.559 I'm not saying we're we're not the parish, but we're 341 00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:08.039 not the richest. And look for all the countries we 342 00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:10.720 help out all the time. That's these people see that that, 343 00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:13.960 like you said, I think what it is they're saying 344 00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:16.920 it it is a chance all working already. So that's 345 00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:20.119 time to knocking dollar, the time of not sucked down. 346 00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:22.880 How's anybody going to do anything if you don't give 347 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:24.839 them a chance and get rid of some of these judges, 348 00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:28.359 federal judges that don't only have the rights in their state. 349 00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:30.359 They have the right to say something, but how are 350 00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:33.720 they going and saying, oh, why are here in Colorado, 351 00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:36.480 but you've got to buy my state wife of fifty. 352 00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:39.480 No, hey, I might appreciate the call. Thank you, my friend. 353 00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:41.240 The music means we've got to hit our break, come 354 00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:43.960 back and talk to everybody else filling our lines. 355 00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:45.759 And I do want to get some time. 356 00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:48.640 I mean, we're in the middle of this major play 357 00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:50.279 by Trump, so that might have to wait a day 358 00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:52.480 or two. But the US Supreme Court stepping in and 359 00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:56.559 starting to decision by decision make it clear how it 360 00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:59.920 views the role between you know, different district court judges, 361 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:01.599 pellet levels and the Supremes. 362 00:18:01.880 --> 00:18:06.519 Here on the Dan Kapla Show. 363 00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:18.640 You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. 364 00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:22.839 The second Trump announced Liberation Day and the left launched 365 00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:26.359 its panic porn because it's scared to death that Trump's 366 00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:28.880 going to succeed with this play, which has been labeled 367 00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:31.559 a tariff play, but it's broader than that. It's about 368 00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:36.440 economic justice for the United States of America across the globe, 369 00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:38.880 and tariffs are a tool to get the leverage you 370 00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:41.440 need to cut the deals you need to cut, which 371 00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:44.440 are broader than just tariffs. So that's what we're in 372 00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:46.920 the middle of. And the reason on day one, I said, hey, 373 00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:49.960 this is a smart play. Trust Trump. It's going to work. 374 00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:52.920 Is because Trump's can control and he can adjust as 375 00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:54.839 we go along. And as he said today, Hey, he 376 00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:58.359 needed to adjust today. So what he did today he 377 00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:02.119 left the ten percent tariffs in place most places across 378 00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:05.440 the globe, but he brought down some of the extra 379 00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:08.720 tariffs for a ninety day period. 380 00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:10.000 So people could come and cut deals. 381 00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:13.759 And he did that because he had some Republicans getting shaky. 382 00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:15.759 And that's what he said today when he said that 383 00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:18.160 some people were getting yippie. So that's why from the 384 00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:20.880 beginning I felt that this was going to be a 385 00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:24.640 very successful play, and that it was at least in 386 00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:27.960 my mind, you know, save to layer some more money 387 00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:30.640 into the market, because Trump would be in control of 388 00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:31.039 all of this. 389 00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:34.599 So, hey, do I expect every day to be like today? No, 390 00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:35.359 of course not. 391 00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:37.880 I expect there are a lot of ups and downs 392 00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:41.720 ahead as Trump takes on the big Kohuna, which is China, 393 00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:45.960 the Communist Party of China, the big cheater, and it's 394 00:19:46.039 --> 00:19:48.759 not going to be as easy to hammer out that deal, 395 00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:52.920 but it will get done. So yeah, a brilliant move 396 00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:54.400 by Trump, one way or the other. We're going to 397 00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:57.400 come out far ahead of where we were when we started. 398 00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:01.559 And the only issue is how ahead, because you know, 399 00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:03.759 you rarely get one hundred percent of what you're after. 400 00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:05.839 But it's going to be a lot better than it was, 401 00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:08.200
