Speaker 1: This is Dan Kaplis, and welcome to today's online podcast
Speaker 1: edition of The Dan Kaplis Show. Please be sure to
Speaker 1: give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
Speaker 1: and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every
Speaker 1: single day on your favorite podcast platform. Well, there's no
Speaker 1: doubt that's what Trump is fighting for. I think the
Speaker 1: question is whether you agree with his methods. Now. I
Speaker 1: understand a lot of people dispute the premise, and we
Speaker 1: certainly welcome those calls three or three someone three eight
Speaker 1: two five five text d A N five seven seven
Speaker 1: three nine. So, of course, you know, overarching everything else,
Speaker 1: mixed in with everything else, we're going to keep talking about,
Speaker 1: you know, the latest, you know, with the with the
Speaker 1: stock market, the economy, but above all with politics, right because,
Speaker 1: as we talked about on the show Friday, that almost
Speaker 1: all of this is politically motivated and fueled. It is
Speaker 1: panic porn, panic porn from the left primarily. There are
Speaker 1: some really credible, intelligent voices on the rights saying, hey,
Speaker 1: President Trump is doing it all wrong right now, and
Speaker 1: those people deserve to be listened to. Doesn't mean you
Speaker 1: have to agree with them or that they're right, but
Speaker 1: they should be listened to because they're credible folks who
Speaker 1: in the past have shown a balanced approach to things.
Speaker 1: But there are also a whole bunch of folks on
Speaker 1: the other side. He said, no, this needs to happen.
Speaker 1: This needs to happen right now because the status quo,
Speaker 1: the path we're on, it is not sustainable. It is
Speaker 1: leading us off the edge of a cliff. It's gutting
Speaker 1: Middle America. And so hey, I don't think there's any
Speaker 1: question Trump is extremely well motivated. He's got a great
Speaker 1: track worker when it comes to US economy, and we'll
Speaker 1: continue that conversation today. So glad you're here. A very
Speaker 1: fun part of the conversation will come at five oh six.
Speaker 1: I mean, there'll be a lot worth your time between
Speaker 1: now and then. But at five oh six, Rosskamitski, who
Speaker 1: does a great show over on our little sister station
Speaker 1: eight fifty KLA. Congratulations to them, by the way, Ryan
Speaker 1: for being not Station of the Year, right Colorado Broadcaster Awards,
Speaker 1: suggest everybody say a prayer, light a candle for him,
Speaker 1: because the last time, if my memory is correct, it's
Speaker 1: been a while, but I think the last time I
Speaker 1: won a Colorado Broadcaster of the year. I think Craig
Speaker 1: and I won Show of the Year the year our
Speaker 1: show ended. Oh wow, but it was a great way
Speaker 1: to go out, right, great way to go out. You
Speaker 1: know you got that going for you, as Bill Murray
Speaker 1: would say, and Caddy sheck. But all's well, that ends well.
Speaker 1: So congratulations to KWA on that and to Dave Tepper
Speaker 1: does a tremendous job running that station. And we'll hopefully
Speaker 1: keep my key card activated. And then then yeah, Russell
Speaker 1: joined us at five oh six. Ross is what's the
Speaker 1: right word, ferociously relentlessly opposed to what President Trump is
Speaker 1: doing right now? So well worth a listen and we'll
Speaker 1: have that conversation at five oh six, says, you know,
Speaker 1: I have a different take. Don't claim to be the
Speaker 1: world's experts on tariffs or anything else, but I know
Speaker 1: a little bit about this or that, and what I
Speaker 1: do know is and it will be my first question
Speaker 1: to our esteemed Colleigue Ross, who I'm sure will hear
Speaker 1: of it before we take care. But none of this
Speaker 1: is meant to be gotcha. Is the current status quo acceptable?
Speaker 1: Is the path we're unsustainable? And if not, what's the alternative?
Speaker 1: Fix to what the president's doing, because the whole idea
Speaker 1: here isn't to win the argument. Yes it is, but
Speaker 1: the idea is to find the right fix three or
Speaker 1: three someone three eight two five five text d an
Speaker 1: five seven seven three nine. And so far nobody's been
Speaker 1: able to show me that Trump is on the wrong
Speaker 1: path here. I mean, when in any of our lives
Speaker 1: has any big important change overcoming something really big and negative,
Speaker 1: When does it happen without pain? When does it happen
Speaker 1: without sacrifice? That that's just not the nature of the
Speaker 1: human condition. Well, so lots to talk about there. Hey,
Speaker 1: Jenna griswold Rum, Ryan, I think you were right. Maybe
Speaker 1: it was Kelly. Somebody was right when they said she
Speaker 1: was not going to run for governor. I thought she was.
Speaker 1: I at this at this point, she's a well, congratulations,
Speaker 1: Too bad you didn't bet up steak out.
Speaker 2: Oh I should have drawn even with you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh my goodness. It would have taken more than that.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, it would have been a good
Speaker 1: start in erasing the bet deficit. Right, erase the bet?
Speaker 2: I mean, how many time hawks one?
Speaker 1: Oh my lord, one, you got half the cattle in
Speaker 1: Colorado accounted for right now with all the reps we've had,
Speaker 1: but it's not. But anyway, yeah, so my guess is
Speaker 1: that that it obviously she wasn't going to get the
Speaker 1: support that she needed or she would be in the
Speaker 1: governor's race because nobody would rather be attorney general than governor.
Speaker 1: And so I don't know whether it's Bennett pushing her out,
Speaker 1: but the way you read the leaves right now, not
Speaker 1: that anybody cares because one of the most striking things
Speaker 1: to me, as a guy who's been on air for
Speaker 1: most of not all, most of the years between nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety one and today in Colorado is just a total
Speaker 1: lack of interest to the point of ultimate boredom with
Speaker 1: any talk of the coming governor and Usner races. I mean,
Speaker 1: it used to be not so long ago, like last cycle,
Speaker 1: where people would really be fired up about those races
Speaker 1: early on. But again, I think folks assume the GOP
Speaker 1: can't win, and whatever Democrat happens to have the most
Speaker 1: money therefore win the primary, you know, will end up
Speaker 1: in that office. I am not so sure myself, But anyway,
Speaker 1: Jenna Griswell couldn't hack it in the governor's chase. Apparently,
Speaker 1: and will now be their AG candidate. Scary thing is
Speaker 1: she could well win. So I think the only way
Speaker 1: she's in the AG race at this point is if
Speaker 1: some sort of backroom deal, in my opinion, has probably
Speaker 1: cleared the path and there won't be any meaningful challenger
Speaker 1: to her, and so she will be their nominee. So
Speaker 1: one question I want to throw out for you is
Speaker 1: who among the good guys and gals can beat her?
Speaker 1: Who should our nominee be? Now? I was hoping we
Speaker 1: would have George Bruckler on the show today because he
Speaker 1: would be my obvious answer, right, But there may other
Speaker 1: will and there may be some other very good talent
Speaker 1: out there, and I have no idea whether George has
Speaker 1: any interest in that race.
Speaker 3: To you, well, he's mine before Dan, So I mean
Speaker 3: on that basis alone, you gotta believe that he thinks
Speaker 3: he could win or should win.
Speaker 2: Well, he ran a great race, he did.
Speaker 1: And he would be a great Attorney general, There's no
Speaker 1: question about that. I think the question is if things
Speaker 1: changed enough in our landscape, you know that he would
Speaker 1: be able to win in the midterms. If he even
Speaker 1: has any interest. I don't know if he has any
Speaker 1: interest at all, But we will ask him that when
Speaker 1: he joins us tomorrow. Right, so we're already teasing tomorrow's
Speaker 1: show now locally and before we get back into Oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, Ryan, do you think anybody's just going
Speaker 1: to voluntarily send me a percentage of their gains since Friday?
Speaker 1: Because wasn't it me On Friday? You said, Oh, everybody's
Speaker 1: talking about Black Monday going to be a stark stock
Speaker 1: market crash, et cetera. Didn't quite materialize, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: if this was the Black Monday that Kramer and others predicted.
Speaker 1: Now that I think we're in pretty good shape.
Speaker 2: And the Nasdaq actually closed, I'll tell you I bought today.
Speaker 2: What'd you buy it in?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Just slightly, right, just slightly. I have to tell
Speaker 1: you I'm going but I want to support Tesla. I
Speaker 1: want to stand up to the Tesla terrorists. I'm kind
Speaker 1: of debating between buying the cyber truck or investing in
Speaker 1: some more Tesla stock. I don't want to bore people
Speaker 1: with this story, but I had a bunch of Tesla stock,
Speaker 1: very proud of myself because I've had it for a
Speaker 1: long time. And then I had a bunch of retirement fund.
Speaker 1: And and they you know, and the person who manages
Speaker 1: the retirement fund called up and said, you know, it's
Speaker 1: in a retirement fund, so it can't be that risky.
Speaker 1: So you have to sell off some of your Tesla
Speaker 1: in there and get some of this and this and that. Well,
Speaker 1: while the Tesla went to the moon, and I still
Speaker 1: kept some in that retirement fund, the other stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: my dog might as well have eaten it. So but
Speaker 1: this might be my chance to regain some of that
Speaker 1: on Tesla because it's hurting right now. So studying Tesla overnight,
Speaker 1: almost got some of that this morning. But the amount
Speaker 1: that I did buy and by the way, I'm not
Speaker 1: talking about big stuff right, but big to me and
Speaker 1: to my wife. But the amount that I did add
Speaker 1: today was all in Apple. What and I understand Apple.
Speaker 1: Have you heard of it? No?
Speaker 2: I know that. But you said you put all your
Speaker 2: chips on Apple? Is that what you said?
Speaker 1: No? No, no, no. The additional stuff I bought today because
Speaker 1: layering back into the market, it's what I did during COVID, right,
Speaker 1: And again anything I say about stocks to the opposite.
Speaker 1: But during COVID, you know, when we had that kind
Speaker 1: of V shape thing going on. Well, while it was
Speaker 1: on the left prong of the V and people were
Speaker 1: really scared, you know. I started to layer in, just believing,
Speaker 1: for the reasons we've discussed, it had to come back
Speaker 1: up pretty quick. And I believe even more strongly about
Speaker 1: that now. So I'm just starting to layer in. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying the bottoms in or anything like that, but
Speaker 1: just starting to layer in because nobody can perfectly time
Speaker 1: the market, let alone me. But yeah, no, my first
Speaker 1: move in was Apple, and I understand there's more pain
Speaker 1: a head for Apple, right. The iPhones aren't coming from Greeley,
Speaker 1: you know, the iPhones are coming from China, so there's
Speaker 1: more pain ahead for Apple. I just think, hey, it's Apple, right,
Speaker 1: and it is going to come back, and it's going
Speaker 1: to come back strong eventually, So please don't take this advice.
Speaker 1: But that's the additional buying I did today, And I
Speaker 1: think my wife and I are going to talk about
Speaker 1: it tonight, and I think we'll probably move some stuff
Speaker 1: around and do some more buying in the morning, not
Speaker 1: that we won't see dips. I wouldn't be surprised if
Speaker 1: we had a number of additional three to five percent
Speaker 1: dip days things like that. I just think that that
Speaker 1: I want to start getting some war back in now
Speaker 1: three or three someone three eight two five five, text
Speaker 1: DA and five seven seven three nine. So anybody who
Speaker 1: made money on my non advice Friday because I said
Speaker 1: do the opposite of what I do, which is what
Speaker 1: I say again today, feel free if you want to
Speaker 1: make a contribution to just where should they send it?
Speaker 1: Ryan to you? Or maybe maybe let's say their favorite charity,
Speaker 1: Let's say that Cherios. Yeah, yeah, three three someone three
Speaker 1: eight two five five text d A N five seven
Speaker 1: seven three nine. And then when we come back, I
Speaker 1: do want to touch on this Mayor Mike Johnston in Denver,
Speaker 1: his plan to save the mall isn't going to work.
Speaker 1: You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 2: And now back to the Dan Taplass Show podcast and others.
Speaker 1: We have a couple of senators here.
Speaker 4: I just don't particularly like them, so I won't introduce.
Speaker 5: Over the course of this amazing season the members of
Speaker 5: this team.
Speaker 1: It's a pest. That's the Dodgers in the White House. Yea.
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was that big a deal like
Speaker 1: Washington for their world series. Wow talk about a power
Speaker 1: move and uh yeah, so you know these ceremonies normally work, right,
Speaker 1: And so the senators from California, Padia and Schiff are there,
Speaker 1: and that's what President Trump had to say about him.
Speaker 1: But I can't fault the guy. Listen. Can you imagine
Speaker 1: having been in Trump's shoes, and you've got a guy
Speaker 1: like Schiff who's who's trying to put Trump in jail
Speaker 1: for the rest of his life. He wants to see
Speaker 1: Trump end his life in disgrace and prison and see
Speaker 1: his businesses and his family bankrupted. I'm surprised Trump even
Speaker 1: let him in the room. Three or three someone three
Speaker 1: eight two five five text d A N five seven
Speaker 1: seven three nine. And the other centator from California sure
Speaker 1: wasn't standing up for against talk at awfulness. Right, let's
Speaker 1: go to the phone lines. We'll start in Golden Colorado'll
Speaker 1: talk to Eric. You're on the Dan Kaplis Show.
Speaker 6: Welcome, Hey, Dan, I've been enjoying the program.
Speaker 7: I think we need to come up with.
Speaker 1: A good name for this terrace supposed by Trump, because
Speaker 1: you've shaved in our country. Now, yes, what would you
Speaker 1: come up for it? I'm guessing you have one Eric,
Speaker 1: and I don't want to steal your thunder.
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, I'm calling it the Trump slump.
Speaker 1: Ah. I want wow wow, that could be just devastating
Speaker 1: to the administration. Yeah, yeah too, Bet, Eric didn't take
Speaker 1: a victory lamp on that one. I don't see that
Speaker 1: one catching on. Do not see that one catching on?
Speaker 2: So about Trump bump.
Speaker 1: You're welcome to call back, Eric. I love that. I
Speaker 1: love that. I mean, not at the moment. But again,
Speaker 1: that's the point, right, I mean, the reason we're not
Speaker 1: better off than we are right now in America is
Speaker 1: because so many of our current leaders on both sides
Speaker 1: have not been willing to incur the pain, the sacrifice,
Speaker 1: which may mean losing their own power, in order to
Speaker 1: do the things America has to do to be where
Speaker 1: America should be. Right And then when you look throughout
Speaker 1: the course of American history, who are our heroes, Who
Speaker 1: are the people who save the country. Who are the
Speaker 1: people who then after that saved the country from going
Speaker 1: away or other forms of devastation. They're the people who
Speaker 1: were willing to endure pain, pain for the nation, but
Speaker 1: for themselves too politically, and sometimes pay the ultimate price
Speaker 1: to do what had to be done, and that's been
Speaker 1: the formula for success in America since our birth is
Speaker 1: a nation. But Trump is one of the rare ones
Speaker 1: right now from either party willing to go out there
Speaker 1: and do that. And so I can't sit heer and
Speaker 1: say for certain that his approach is the one that's
Speaker 1: going to work. But I can say for certain this
Speaker 1: status quo wasn't acceptable, and the path we were on
Speaker 1: was one to economic disaster. And to me, what he's
Speaker 1: saying right now and what he's doing makes some sense.
Speaker 1: And bottom line for me, as I've said before, is
Speaker 1: I trust him on this stuff. I trust him on
Speaker 1: this stuff because he succeeded before economically for the nation,
Speaker 1: for himself personally, and he has such a personal vested
Speaker 1: interest in success. I just can't believe he'd be doing
Speaker 1: this unless he had a plan that he was extremely
Speaker 1: cont fit in about a plan both economically and politically,
Speaker 1: because the two are obviously as closely linked as any
Speaker 1: newly weds. So three or three someone three eight two
Speaker 1: five five text d A N five seven seven three
Speaker 1: nine That last reference Ryan meant for you, thank you
Speaker 1: for the invitation of the wedding. I assume somebody couldn't go.
Speaker 1: Are you guys doing RSVPs already?
Speaker 3: Well, we're setting out the evites, which I guess is
Speaker 3: how it's done. Now it's a little bit more convenient
Speaker 3: for those receiving.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, it's it's very cool, very cool and
Speaker 1: cannot wait. Cannot wait be the social event of any season,
Speaker 1: I'm sure. Yeah, I do want to get to this
Speaker 1: business of Mayor Mike Johnston and what he has proposed
Speaker 1: for the Denver Mall. And now I understand that you
Speaker 1: may well be listening far far away from Denver. You
Speaker 1: may be in another country, you may be in Beautiful
Speaker 1: for Collins, whatever. But if you happen to live anywhere
Speaker 1: in Colorado, then then what happens in Denver doesn't stay
Speaker 1: in Denver, right. And so the notorious pri problems of
Speaker 1: the Sixteenth Street Mall, particularly since the legalization of marijuana
Speaker 1: in Colorado, and I call it the legalization of hard
Speaker 1: drugs in Colorado, right, because obviously the old leaf two
Speaker 1: to four percent did an awful out of damage and
Speaker 1: as the industry intended, the drug dealer industry intended, you know,
Speaker 1: they intended to turn that into a very hard drug
Speaker 1: very quickly, which is what they've done with this eighty
Speaker 1: ninety ninety percent plus thac so since the legalization of
Speaker 1: that form of hard drug in Colorado and Denver proudly
Speaker 1: declaring itself to be the epicenter of the marijuana universe,
Speaker 1: you know, the Sixteenth Street Mall has been totally in
Speaker 1: the tank. So what the mayor is proposing is, let's
Speaker 1: see Ryan. You like courses, right, sure, yeah, yeah, mounted patrol.
Speaker 1: I'm big on mounted patrol. Love mounted patrol. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: Remind me to tell you the story sometime of how
Speaker 1: my dad stopped Riot in Chicago with the mounted patrol,
Speaker 1: but mounted patrol, ten member foot force, bicycle and motorcycle,
Speaker 1: five private security officers, etc. And a Kiosk downtown. Then
Speaker 1: Sixteenth Street Mall staff by police, all of which I
Speaker 1: think are excellent ideas. I have no problem with any
Speaker 1: of those ideas, and I like the direction they're going
Speaker 1: with those. I don't think it goes far enough in
Speaker 1: terms of numbers, staffing, presence, etc. But it's a good
Speaker 1: step in the right direction. But here's the big question.
Speaker 1: What are the rules of engagement? You know, Denver's finest,
Speaker 1: the great men and women of the police force, you
Speaker 1: put enough of them out there, you let them do
Speaker 1: their thing. Yeah, that mall is going to be safe
Speaker 1: to go down to again. But I can't believe for
Speaker 1: one second that Mayor Johnston and the hard left in
Speaker 1: Denver who run that city are going to put enough
Speaker 1: down there, or most critically, are going to let them
Speaker 1: do their thing. What are the rules of engagement? So
Speaker 1: as these restaurant owners who have really they've walked the
Speaker 1: talk right, They've invested in downtown Denver, their lives, everything,
Speaker 1: and they've said that things fallen apart around him under Johnston.
Speaker 1: You know what they've made clear is we talk about
Speaker 1: the homeless all the time, which we should in part,
Speaker 1: but it's the addicted. It's the addicted, because Johnston and
Speaker 1: the Left have made Denver and Colorado the drug capital
Speaker 1: of the world. It is the addicted, just the throngs,
Speaker 1: the armies of walking zombies, who all of them are
Speaker 1: somebody's child. There's somebody's daughter, there's somebody's son, There's somebody
Speaker 1: who had a future and that future now is just
Speaker 1: consumed by these drugs and related mental illnesses. So, in
Speaker 1: the left's pursuit of a dependent population through legalization of drugs.
Speaker 1: You have all these lives wasted and they end up
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of them wandering around downtown Denver. So
Speaker 1: tell us Mayor Johnston. Of course, he doesn't have the
Speaker 1: courage to come on the show. How are these great?
Speaker 1: And they are great men and women of DPD going
Speaker 1: to make a difference if you want to allow him
Speaker 1: to engage the way they need to. Are you going
Speaker 1: to tell them when they have drug addicted people they
Speaker 1: can move them off the mall? I doubt very much
Speaker 1: you're going to do that. Let's see if we can
Speaker 1: get an answer that question. Three or three someone three eight, two,
Speaker 1: five five text d an five seven, seven through nine.
Speaker 1: What is the fix for the Denver Mall? I've got it.
Speaker 2: You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 8: Today Denver may Or may Johnson announced a new downtown
Speaker 8: safety plan. It includes increased police outreach resources to try
Speaker 8: to increase public safety. It's meant to address safety concerns,
Speaker 8: particularly those along the Sixteenth Street Mall.
Speaker 3: Over the last five years, that area has struggled through
Speaker 3: the pandemic era, shutdowns, damage from rioters, and long term construction.
Speaker 1: Work. And they'll take some calls and text on That
Speaker 1: is why you can text DA and five seven seven
Speaker 1: three nine. Each of the individual components make sense, right,
Speaker 1: I mean they need to take it much further, but
Speaker 1: more police on the mall, check a kisk in the mall. YEP.
Speaker 1: Mounted horses, yes, absolutely, absolutely has been proven very effective
Speaker 1: law enforcement on horseback and these mounted patrols. All of
Speaker 1: that good ideas, None of it is going to work
Speaker 1: unless the great men and women in blue of DPD
Speaker 1: are given the rules of engagement they need. But they're
Speaker 1: not going to be given those rules of engagement by
Speaker 1: this lefty mayor and his city council. So it's going
Speaker 1: to be hands off drug addicts, it's going to be
Speaker 1: hands off other homeless. It's going to be hands off.
Speaker 1: And don't blame the men and women in blue for this.
Speaker 1: This is going to be the politicians. And it was
Speaker 1: the legalization of drugs that sank the Saints Takes Sixty
Speaker 1: Street mall. And it's the fact that the left is
Speaker 1: still committed to legalization of drugs and won't let law
Speaker 1: enforcement do its job, which is going to render these
Speaker 1: otherwise sensible steps largely ineffective. Three or three someone three
Speaker 1: eight two five five text d An five seven seven
Speaker 1: three nine. Let's go first to Eric in Denver. You're
Speaker 1: on the Dan Kaplis Show.
Speaker 6: Welcome Eric, Dan, let me get you all speaker.
Speaker 1: This is our favorite actor.
Speaker 7: Hey, you're great Americans.
Speaker 1: I get somebody ever says that better? Well, nobody ever
Speaker 1: says I.
Speaker 7: Call it like it is you Ryan and Kelly. All right,
Speaker 7: great Americans.
Speaker 1: I could see that. I could see that maybe on
Speaker 1: the side of a cyber truck or something. But what
Speaker 1: are you thinking today, my friend?
Speaker 4: Everybody loves you guys and you know it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're just looking forward to meeting them.
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, here we go, dan.
Speaker 4: On, hands off.
Speaker 7: This lady.
Speaker 4: That's she's the director of the organization for She's the
Speaker 4: director of United We Dream. And it's an illegal organization.
Speaker 4: You probably heard of.
Speaker 1: Its woman who went national over the weekend saying I'm
Speaker 1: I'm illegal and I'm proud of it. Is that you're
Speaker 1: talking about.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right, she said I'm queer after the end.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we'll play that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, you're absolutely right.
Speaker 4: Crisia Rossa Martinez that's her name. And okay, I found
Speaker 4: out that that's an illegal organization, United Redream and My
Speaker 4: point is, young man, shouldn't Pam Bondy, Tom Holman and
Speaker 4: cash to tale just.
Speaker 7: For the heck of it.
Speaker 4: Investigate them.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you, my friend, about the two pieces
Speaker 1: to this one that the woman who stands up and says,
Speaker 1: I'm here illegally and I'm proud of it. At that point,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if Tom Holman paid her a
Speaker 1: visit and changed that status. But what what about.
Speaker 7: The guy, Because I got one black guy when they
Speaker 7: say I love Obama and he let me do that,
Speaker 7: that Haitian and remember Tom Homer went and got him
Speaker 7: what they now?
Speaker 1: Tell me? What what about the organization itself? Do you
Speaker 1: believe is illegal? Oh?
Speaker 4: They're eighty and a betting illegals in that organization.
Speaker 1: Well this is such as always you bring up these
Speaker 1: really interesting questions. So what is the aiding and a
Speaker 1: betting part? Because obviously, listen, if you've got folks here
Speaker 1: illegally and they're hungry, they're homeless, et cetera, and you
Speaker 1: decide to feed or clothe them as they.
Speaker 4: And homie, you doesn't look hungry at all.
Speaker 7: Man, Come on now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Eric, Eric Eric is steinied me stymied with that one.
Speaker 1: But but talking about an organization as a whole, what
Speaker 1: what are they doing that you would considered to be
Speaker 1: violating an actual criminal statute.
Speaker 4: Because she's associated with giving heads up that ice is coming,
Speaker 4: she's in charge, you know, she's betting.
Speaker 7: With people of her that il come.
Speaker 4: You know, given heads up.
Speaker 1: And I know nothing about the organization, but you raised
Speaker 1: such an interesting question. Let's say that you had an
Speaker 1: organization that was that was focused on thwarting law enforcement efforts,
Speaker 1: obstructing their efforts. You know, might there be a criminal
Speaker 1: offense in there? I mentioned that there could be, depending
Speaker 1: upon how they did it. If if that was you
Speaker 1: said that, well, well, big fella, I'd have to see
Speaker 1: the specifics right next to the law to be able
Speaker 1: to say that. But I could see where there might
Speaker 1: be something there. If somebody's just feeding and clothing people
Speaker 1: here illegally, I don't consider that eating in a batting well.
Speaker 4: And you know, I'll let you go because I know
Speaker 4: you got millions of listeners that wants to call in.
Speaker 7: But I'm label the Great Donald J.
Speaker 4: Trump as the tariff shrif.
Speaker 1: Oh that is pretty darn good. I have another one
Speaker 1: here too, that is that is really good. Somebody else
Speaker 1: texted Dan Trump's financial endeavors are terrific. So that's good too. Hey,
Speaker 1: thank you man. Appreciate the call. Appreciate the call. And
Speaker 1: by the way, Ross Kominski does a great show over
Speaker 1: an eight to fifty k way. He'll join us at
Speaker 1: five oh six. He is ferociously opposed to what President
Speaker 1: Trump is do we now, so we'll get that other
Speaker 1: perspective at five zero six. Let's go up to beautiful Cheyenne.
Speaker 1: Talk to our friend Jack. You're on the Dan Kapla show.
Speaker 1: Welcome Jack.
Speaker 9: What you said about Kaminsky is exactly what I would
Speaker 9: expect him to say. There's a real brain trust right there.
Speaker 1: Hey, No, Ross is super I mean we just agree
Speaker 1: about some stuff, not others. But he's a super smart
Speaker 1: g and very informed. Yeah.
Speaker 9: I don't think you were talking earlier about the stock market. Well,
Speaker 9: I work on my stock portfolio all the time. I
Speaker 9: spent about that my time work, and I'm very, very successful.
Speaker 9: But what I'm going to tell you right now is
Speaker 9: something that every smart person knows. Where the market is
Speaker 9: at right now. Where has been pushed down on the
Speaker 9: fear of these of these terrorists by Trump is the
Speaker 9: greatest buying opportunity. That's the stock market that's ever seen.
Speaker 9: And call me coach months and tell me I.
Speaker 1: Was wrong more than COVID.
Speaker 9: Well, COVID depressed everything. I understand that. But what I'm
Speaker 9: talking about is I'm talking about the price drops on
Speaker 9: everything because of the care of the terrorists. It's gonna
Speaker 9: it's gonna triple. And if you've got to be in
Speaker 9: the right secret now you can't. You can't buy bitcoin
Speaker 9: if you were real.
Speaker 1: If you're buying one stock right now, what would it be.
Speaker 9: Oh, I've got many of them. I've got okay, dan
Speaker 9: without several of the Okay, two or three of them
Speaker 9: are headquartered in Denver, by the way, members, that's some
Speaker 9: tremendous company's headquarters. I've got one of them. I've got
Speaker 9: one of them. It's an oil stock. It pays me
Speaker 9: eleven thousand, four hundred dollars every three months in dividends alone.
Speaker 9: And that's never mind the appreciation value of the stock.
Speaker 9: I'm not prowight when it comes to this stuff, but
Speaker 9: any smart person knows that this is a buying opportunity
Speaker 9: right now absolutely.
Speaker 1: Is okay okay? How soon is it coming back.
Speaker 9: I don't know exactly. My biggest question right now is
Speaker 9: how long is it going to be depressed? Because I
Speaker 9: want more time to do more buying. I mean, I'm
Speaker 9: afraid that the window is going to close too quick.
Speaker 9: So what basically answers your question is going to it's
Speaker 9: going to come back too soon? Evaluations.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, Jack, well ahead, appreciate your call. Be safe
Speaker 1: out there, go make a lot of money. I getn't
Speaker 1: hear a name on that stock that did it right?
Speaker 2: He doesn't want to give away his secrets.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, But if you would think he would,
Speaker 1: so everybody else would buy it and the price would
Speaker 1: go up.
Speaker 2: But maybe it's a good point.
Speaker 1: As we always say on this show, do the opposite
Speaker 1: of what I do in the stock market. She'll be
Speaker 1: very successful though, though you know it just that we
Speaker 1: do that with Jim Kramer. J Just like right today
Speaker 1: was going to be black Monday, right was that, there
Speaker 1: may well be some more three to five percent drop
Speaker 1: days ahead. All I'm saying is is this is all
Speaker 1: coming back, and it's all coming back strong, and it's
Speaker 1: all coming back better than it ever was, or at
Speaker 1: least right now. The other thing is. I think we're
Speaker 1: roughly about where the market was in August, right, so
Speaker 1: it's not like it was the end of the world.
Speaker 1: Three or three someone three A two five five text
Speaker 1: d A N five seven seven three nine. I think,
Speaker 1: as I said on Friday, that in the through in
Speaker 1: middle of all that, that that much of this is
Speaker 1: just panic porn pedaled by the left and the media
Speaker 1: arm of the left right because they're terrified not that
Speaker 1: these tariffs will fail, but that they will succeed. They're
Speaker 1: terrified of that because if Trump's plan works at that
Speaker 1: point where Democrats gonna win, they'll win a few places,
Speaker 1: but they won't win that many. Two or three someone
Speaker 1: three eight two five five text d A N five
Speaker 1: seven seven three nine. We'll come back. I'll give you
Speaker 1: my fix for the sixteenth Street mall now that Merrick
Speaker 1: Johnston has offered you his and then A Russ Kaminski
Speaker 1: joins us at five oh six, and he is opposed
Speaker 1: to the core to the death to what Trump is doing.
Speaker 1: Right now, you're on the Dankapitla Show.
Speaker 2: And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 1: I think you're even in the market at some point,
Speaker 1: you're unwilling to tolerate this idea of a Trump. Honey,
Speaker 1: they're a freshold. I think your question is so stupid,
Speaker 1: which I've admitted.
Speaker 5: I think it said I don't want anything to go down,
Speaker 5: but sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something.
Speaker 1: And we have such a horrible We.
Speaker 5: Have been treated so badly by other countries because we
Speaker 5: had stupid leadership that allowed this to happen. They took
Speaker 5: our businesses, they took our money, they took our jobs.
Speaker 5: They moved into Mexico, they moved it to Canada, they
Speaker 5: moved a lot of it to China.
Speaker 1: And it's not sustainable. We're not going to do it. Boy,
Speaker 1: He's right, it's not sustainable. It'll be interesting going to
Speaker 1: talk to Ross Kaminski from eight fifty koa at five
Speaker 1: oh six, who is ferociously opposed to this path that
Speaker 1: President Trump is on right now, so we'll get his
Speaker 1: take on that. Obviously, I think the current path is
Speaker 1: in fact unsustainable, and we're headed toward a cliff, and
Speaker 1: that the US is being taken advantage of, and that
Speaker 1: something dramatic has to happen. And so look forward to
Speaker 1: that five oh six conversation and then I do want
Speaker 1: to throw it out there for any callers, textures, et cetera,
Speaker 1: who have a guess what our trade balance is with
Speaker 1: different nations around the world. So Ryan, let's say that
Speaker 1: there was a Ferrari on the line, brand new, whatever
Speaker 1: model is, ross, whatever model you wanted right now? What
Speaker 1: is our current trade balance with Algeria?
Speaker 2: Algeria that I don't know?
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's see deficit of one billion, four hundred and
Speaker 1: forty seven million, and then a bunch of other numbers.
Speaker 3: Wait, hold on, I want to follow here along with
Speaker 3: the listeners. So I'm talking about a Ferrari Testarosa that's
Speaker 3: an Italian vehicle. But you're telling me is it manufactured
Speaker 3: in Algeria or no?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no no no. I was just offering you
Speaker 1: a prosekite, which which no sane human could have gotten
Speaker 1: that right. But since you mentioned certainly a wonderful company
Speaker 1: in a country pardon me, Italy and a wonderful company Ferrari.
Speaker 2: And a wonderful prime minister Georgia Maloney.
Speaker 1: No, I've never owned one. Yes she is. What is
Speaker 1: our trade deficit right now with Italy?
Speaker 2: Italy one point four billion?
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's forty three billion. Wow,
Speaker 1: millie hundred and sixty four million. It's a lot nation
Speaker 1: of Italy. Now, on the other hand, Jamaica, where do
Speaker 1: you think we're at with Jamaica? That even trade surplus
Speaker 1: of a couple of billion dollars right there? And as
Speaker 1: I go back to the phone lines and text what
Speaker 1: about Japan? Our great online Japan's our what's our trade balance? There?
Speaker 3: I would say is one of our larger trade deficits
Speaker 3: because Japan doesn't buy a lot of American goods or services.
Speaker 1: M Where would you put that at?
Speaker 2: I don't know, many billions.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's a good guess. Sixty eight sixty eight billion,
Speaker 1: right there might have been, friend, And then a trick
Speaker 1: question that there is no precisely known, accurate answer to Vietnam.
Speaker 3: Well, they don't have I believe, close to zero trade
Speaker 3: tariffs on our goods, but they produce a lot of
Speaker 3: goods I think as an alternate to China, for instance,
Speaker 3: like assembly line production of T shirts, stuff like that.
Speaker 2: So we're in pretty good shape with Vietnam. I would
Speaker 2: I would think.
Speaker 1: Nobody can get everything right, my friend, we are in
Speaker 1: the whole twenty three billion dollars a year. And now
Speaker 1: a lot of people think, of course, as you just
Speaker 1: alluded to, that China, in addition to the massive trade
Speaker 1: deficit with China, that China is running a lot through Vietnam,
Speaker 1: so that China's trade deficit, our trade deficit to China
Speaker 1: should actually be higher. So China, what do you guess
Speaker 1: that's at?
Speaker 3: Uh, that's Trump's number one target, right, so I would
Speaker 3: believe it have to be the highest.
Speaker 1: Yes, well, yes, I mean it's formally listed at two
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety five billion in President Trump believes it's
Speaker 1: closer to a trillion because of China cheating and running
Speaker 1: it through Vietnam, goods through Vietnam. It's so anyway, let's
Speaker 1: go back to the phone lines. Talk to Razor in Denver.
Speaker 1: You're on the Dan Kaplis show. Must make it tough
Speaker 1: to get dates. How you doing, Razor?
Speaker 6: When I was younger, it's really easy with that hairdresser.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay, Well that that helps soften it.
Speaker 6: That's straight hairdresser. And the city of Denver is a great.
Speaker 1: Thing to be oh I can imagine. Yeah, yeah, So
Speaker 1: what do you think of here? Is that what we
Speaker 1: called about No.
Speaker 6: This is totally separate. Our bonds paid through property taxes.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the question is our bonds paid through property taxes? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think it depends on the bond.
Speaker 6: Well, so my big question is we just paid off
Speaker 6: a bond, the mayor says, so that we can extend
Speaker 6: that bond to do his vibrant Denver bond. But if
Speaker 6: that failed, would property taxes go down?
Speaker 1: Okay, this wasn't on the bar exam. So your your
Speaker 1: question is if Johnston's ballot initiative that passed had failed,
Speaker 1: would property taxes go down? Because you're wondering whether this
Speaker 1: new money from this new bond is then paying for
Speaker 1: something the property taxes had been paid for previously. I
Speaker 1: doubt very much that it that it was. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to think of bond measures funded by property taxes.
Speaker 6: I total, we had just paid off a bond and
Speaker 6: that's why, Yeah, bragging that it won't raise taxes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry, my friend, I just don't know the particulars
Speaker 1: of that one. What do you think of his plan
Speaker 1: for them all?
Speaker 6: You know, if they don't get rid of the homeless
Speaker 6: people down there and the open drug use his plan
Speaker 6: has worked with?
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, that's exactly right, exact name. Yeah, thank you,
Speaker 1: my friend. The music means I've got a bell right now,
Speaker 1: Rais are good to meet you. Yeah, that's exactly right. Hey,
Speaker 1: the more men and women in blue we can have
Speaker 1: the better Denver's Finest. That's a good move, including the
Speaker 1: amounted patrols. But it's the rules of engagement, you know.
Speaker 1: It's the drug addicts created by this this drug pushing,
Speaker 1: drug worshiping, drug legalizing lefty government. And if if they
Speaker 1: won't let him deal with those folks, the rest isn't
Speaker 1: going to matter. Ruskominsky next,
