The higher 47 00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:21.240 rates are for nations the White House considers bad actors 48 00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:22.280 on trade. 49 00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:24.080 Who are those bad actors? 50 00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:27.639 Added, duties will be thirty four percent on China, twenty 51 00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:31.120 four percent on Japan, and twenty percent on the e 52 00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:36.039 U auto tariffs So Ryan, just a small window now 53 00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:39.400 for that Bugatti auto tariffs will take effect to night. 54 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:42.960 Trump said he's imposing twenty five percent tariffs on all 55 00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:44.879 foreign made autos. 56 00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:46.919 As of midnight, US DOC. 57 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:51.080 Futures declined in post close trading, reflecting fears the tariffs 58 00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:55.319 will slow growth, boost inflation, and further ratto. Global markets 59 00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:59.520 indexes drop between one percent and three percent, and popular 60 00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:03.439 stocks such as Wow not the only ones I own, Apple, 61 00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:08.919 Amazon were among the Larchester traders, dropping four percent or more. 62 00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:11.159 You like Dan Kaplis, buy American. 63 00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:13.520 Cars the That is a great thing. 64 00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:15.840 I mean I have bought some foreign cars for sure, 65 00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:22.080 and yeah, but that's a great conversation for today as well. 66 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.759 You know, with these tariffs, now, what are the best 67 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:25.680 American cars? 68 00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:26.280 You know? 69 00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:30.039 And hey, well you know I was just going to say, hey, 70 00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:33.280 I'm not gonna lie I drive a foreign car now too. Also, 71 00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:37.039 but I'm trying to figure out whether I have, and 72 00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:39.080 I think it's one of the safest cars in the world, 73 00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:42.240 and it's a really fun car to drive. I have 74 00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:49.520 a Mercedes coup Suv and it but I'm trying to 75 00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:51.879 figure out whether it was made here or made there? 76 00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:53.319 And Dan, is this the one that you have to 77 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:54.759 take the shop every other week? 78 00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:56.919 It's in the shop half the time, That's what I mean. 79 00:03:57.439 --> 00:03:59.479 Literally, But when it and the guys at the shop 80 00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:01.759 are great, don't blame them right now, you know, blame 81 00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:05.199 whoever built the darn thing. But but the point being 82 00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:07.639 that it is such a great car and it's so safe, 83 00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:09.759 and I'm a little hyper sensitive to that, since that's 84 00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:12.520 what I do for a living, is catastrophic injury cases. 85 00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:15.479 You know. I just look at all the stuff and 86 00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:17.839 listen to all the experts we hire and cases and 87 00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:20.480 everything else, and I figure, it's just the safest thing 88 00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:21.279 that I. 89 00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:21.920 Can be in. 90 00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:24.000 And if I could, if my whole family would ride 91 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:25.720 in them, I'd eat dog food if I had to 92 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.399 get my whole family in them, but they won't be 93 00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:32.480 seen in it. So but yeah, I'm just trying to 94 00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:34.800 figure out whether it's made over there or made here 95 00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:37.439 or made half there or half here because so many 96 00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:40.399 of these foreign cars, now right, they make some of them. 97 00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:42.199 Here or some parts of them here. 98 00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:44.759 Well that's a different critic, right, that's why. And I 99 00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:47.000 don't know how that where where do the tariffs have 100 00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:48.560 the cutoff on that? 101 00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:50.839 That's like if fifty one percent of the car is 102 00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:54.399 made over there and it's hit with the tariff if 103 00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:55.079 it's made here. 104 00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:56.480 Yes, So we'll get that figured out. 105 00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:58.920 But I would like to get everybody's take on the 106 00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:03.279 best made, safest to American cars truck Dan, which I 107 00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:07.639 have owned and loved my friend absolutely and and you know, my. 108 00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:11.800 Favorite car ever was at Corvette obviously.

What's some 129 00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:17.160 in turn right there in the United States of America. 130 00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:19.720 That's what the Trump tariffs are going to do. 131 00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:27.480 Crash the economy, which has been happening since January twentieth. 132 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.639 Of this year, and the. 133 00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:37.480 American people are taking note really of it. I intrommunity 134 00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:40.839 in the poles after community after community. 135 00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:43.399 Does he sound like even believes what he's saying? 136 00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:45.160 And a lot of pauses there. 137 00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:49.480 Now you know, I'm no doctor, but I would prescribe 138 00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:53.800 jeffine for him, right or is he is he trying 139 00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:54.920 to affect something here? 140 00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:57.600 But come on, he's got no credibility. 141 00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:01.120 The Dems, you know, outside of Blue Pocket, have no credibility, 142 00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.560 but you know, hey, what has come down to and 143 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:05.720 it's always what you want ryan Right, Like when I 144 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:09.480 used to play softball. Okay, I was a decent softball player, 145 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:12.120 and I used to feel like and we'd play until 146 00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:13.839 I got married. We'd play one hundred games a year, 147 00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:15.959 and I used to feel like, Okay, if I go 148 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:17.879 out and have a great game, we're going to win. 149 00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:19.120 Now that wasn't. 150 00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:21.759 True, but I always like to feel that way because 151 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:24.800 I felt that, Hey, if I'm really on, if I'm 152 00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:26.839 really doing my thing, we're going to win that game. 153 00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:30.399 And I think it's all about Trump right now. It 154 00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:32.839 is all about Trump. It's all about the Republicans. The 155 00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:37.839 Democrats are irrelevant. It's all about whether the Republicans deliver, 156 00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:41.839 whether Trump delivers. And that's one reason that I sleep 157 00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:43.920 easily right now, even though I see my four oh 158 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:48.120 one k bouncing around. Is I just trust Trump on this. 159 00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:50.920 I know he's human, every human's fallible, but I trust 160 00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:54.639 Trump on this because you know he wants to succeed, 161 00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:58.079 right and he could have had an easy first class 162 00:07:58.120 --> 00:07:58.519 trip to. 163 00:07:58.560 --> 00:07:59.120 The top here. 164 00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:02.120 Just keep spending a ton of money, don't do anything risky, 165 00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:05.120 and just ride this thing right to the top of 166 00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:09.160 popularity in four years. But he's he's making a big 167 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:11.560 move here because he truly believes it's going to work. 168 00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:12.920 And I'm going to trust him on that. 169 00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:15.079 And his expertise. 170 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:18.439 Dan I talked about this his background obviously in business 171 00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:21.759 and industry and real estate, and he was talking about this, 172 00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:25.120 going back to his appearances on the Oprah Winfrey Show, 173 00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:26.839 that if he ever ran for president, if he ever 174 00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:29.079 became president, what would he do differently? This is what 175 00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:31.240 he was talking about, Dan, this very issue. 176 00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:33.440 Yeah, and you know what I'd like to hear from 177 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:36.759 people on this too, which is I think he has 178 00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:41.720 as much or more of a commitment to working people 179 00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:47.440 in America as any president in my lifetime. And I'd 180 00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:49.919 be hard pressed to point to a single president in 181 00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:54.960 my lifetime who's had a more obvious, overt commitment to 182 00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:58.759 working people in America. And I think where that's where 183 00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:00.960 this whole tariff things come from. I think he believes 184 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.840 in it on other levels as well. But for the 185 00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:07.639 working people of America, you know, those are the folks 186 00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:10.720 who have the most to gain, and so America has 187 00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:14.159 the most gained because America without that you know, strong 188 00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:17.480 working you know class in America, that strong middle class 189 00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:18.320 in America. 190 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:20.080 You know, America is not going to be America. 191 00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:23.000 And we saw some of the people in attendance at 192 00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:26.879 his address today, Dan, we see this kind of realignment politically. 193 00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:31.120 Sean Fain, the very far left Democrat president of the 194 00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:34.679 UAW came out in favor of these tariffs. He had 195 00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:39.000 a longtime autoworker from Mcombe County in Michigan talk about 196 00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:42.360 fighting for like you said, the working class, the auto workers, 197 00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:45.759 for fair trade rather than just outright wild West style 198 00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:51.000 free trade. And there's an interesting shift and the dichotomy 199 00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:53.799 of American politics and the Democrats they don't really know 200 00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:56.440 how to react right now because the working class, the 201 00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:59.200 blue collar, the unions that represent them. You look at 202 00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:01.720 the teamsters as well, with Sean O'Brien, I mean, they 203 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:03.600 are very much aligned with Trump on this. 204 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:04.879 So what do the Democrats do? 205 00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:09.840 Hope for the Republicans to fail, right because they have 206 00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.480 no answer and they've been exposed, They've been pansed and 207 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.600 tied to the goalposts. They have no answer. Now it's 208 00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:20.200 about the Republicans. All about the Republicans, you know, will 209 00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:23.200 they succeed or will they fail. I believe they're going 210 00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:25.200 to succeed, but I'd like to get everybody else's take, 211 00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:27.120 and then we'll play a lot of sound different takes 212 00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:29.559 on tariffs and other big issues of the day. Three 213 00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:31.799 or three someone three eight two five five text d 214 00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:34.200 A N five seven seven three nine. 215 00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:35.519 You're on the Dan Caplis Show. 216 00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:44.399 And now back to the Dankapliss Show podcast. 217 00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:48.879 Little concerned we all are. At the end of the day. 218 00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:52.480 We got to have faith in our leadership. Our country 219 00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:54.519 is going in our wrong direction thirty seven tree and 220 00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:56.639 in debt. We've got to get manufacturers back to the 221 00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:59.919 country we go back to work. Better way to do 222 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:02.840 that is tariffs. So let's give it a shot and 223 00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:03.639 see what happens. 224 00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:07.480 Boy, I think Tommy Tubberville just nailed it, right, former 225 00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:10.320 football coach now senator from the great State of Alabama. 226 00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:11.600 I think he just nailed it. 227 00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:14.679 And that's kind of exactly the way I feel too. 228 00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:17.639 Without claiming to be an expert on tariffs, right, And 229 00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:19.399 I don't just say that to give myself an out 230 00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:22.639 if they don't work. I just I'm not an expert 231 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:25.559 on tariff's but I do trust Trumpet. 232 00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:26.480 And you know, it's interesting. 233 00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:29.200 There's a legal concept to and it ties into hearsay 234 00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:32.759 exceptions and everything else. But when somebody is saying things 235 00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:36.720 against their own interest, then that's a hearsay exception, often 236 00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:40.000 because they don't have any reason to make it up. Right, 237 00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:46.159 President Trump here, he has no reason to be doing 238 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:49.440 this unless he is convinced that it's going to work 239 00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:52.879 and be best for America, because it's so risky for him, 240 00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:56.279 and he has such an easy alternative to high popularity 241 00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:59.360 and cruise through the term playing golf and getting adulation. 242 00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:02.759 So I just have that trust, and then you combine 243 00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:04.360 his financial expertise, etc. 244 00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:05.440 I do. 245 00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:08.120 I can tell you though, my attention at the moment 246 00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:11.480 is divided between the issue of tariffs and the future 247 00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:16.679 of America and my excitement over getting my vehicle wrapped, 248 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:19.799 whether it's a cyber truck or what. Because Ryan, did 249 00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:22.519 you see that text come in? We have a text 250 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:25.559 come in from Doug at Quantum Raps in Canyon City 251 00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:28.039 because oh wow, we've been talking on the show in 252 00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:30.879 connection with the Tesla terrorism. And I hope they round 253 00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:33.440 them all up and they prosecute them to the max. 254 00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:37.039 And I'm confident they will. But I've been talking about 255 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:39.639 wanting to get a cyber truck just to stand up 256 00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:41.320 to the terrorists. And then I said, well, I want 257 00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:43.320 to get a wrap because I don't like any of 258 00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:47.639 the current collers. So Doug, we should get him on 259 00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:51.720 for a segment sometime. But he offered to do the 260 00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:54.120 rep for me. Obviously I'd be pain in full, but 261 00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:57.639 he sent me his website. Unbelievable what they can do 262 00:12:57.679 --> 00:13:01.879 with wraps, and like I said, this cheap that has 263 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:06.639 this really artistic, cool faded American flag on the hood, 264 00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:10.320 but then on the side it has a US Constitution. 265 00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:14.240 I mean, you can do some really artistic stuff. They 266 00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:17.600 have an American flag repped hardly it's and then they 267 00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:18.720 have some commercial stuff. 268 00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:18.960 Right. 269 00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:22.000 So this whole concept of being able to turn your 270 00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:24.360 vehicle into a piece of art beyond the color and 271 00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:26.679 shape is really exciting to me. 272 00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:29.279 I'm going to reach out to Doug here via text 273 00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:30.919 and I can do that and see if you'll join you. 274 00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:31.840 Maybe for the next segment. 275 00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:34.919 Oh, anytime, anytime, because this opens up a whole new 276 00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:38.080 world for everybody listening to us, right, Because I have 277 00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:40.559 to figure if you're nice enough to listen to the show. 278 00:13:40.679 --> 00:13:44.000 Chances are pretty high you're in the car. You were 279 00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:47.080 in the car or truck or suv or something sometime today. 280 00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:52.000 So for everybody listening, you know, there's this opportunity to 281 00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:56.919 turn your transport into this work of art, into this statement. 282 00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:00.840 It can be a political statement, artistic statement, combination of 283 00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:03.480 the two. Now, hey, the caveat right. I have no 284 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:06.960 idea what this costs. It may be prohibitive, but it's 285 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:10.240 at least an interesting idea. And then what would you 286 00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:14.720 put on the cyber truck? Like somebody texted me, let 287 00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:17.879 me get this, So I quoted verbatim on the cyber truck. 288 00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:23.159 He was talking about Dan, wrap it in the second 289 00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:25.159 Amendment vandal deterrent. 290 00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:29.360 And then it said, and you might want to conceal carry. 291 00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:33.159 Which of course I wouldn't, but but yeah, he says, 292 00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:35.600 wrap it in the second Amendment is vandal to turn. 293 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:38.039 What do you think the odds are if I get 294 00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:40.919 that cyber truck that it will be vandalized? 295 00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:44.360 Depends on where you drive it, Dan, Well, okay, pick this. 296 00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:47.960 Where's the safest place you can imagine other than the 297 00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:51.639 church parking lot? I would say, any which is safe 298 00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:53.440 when everybody's leaving mass. 299 00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:55.679 Weld County with Sheriff Steve Reems tailing. 300 00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:58.159 Yah, yeah, yeah, no, that would be that would be 301 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:01.480 pretty burned safe. Yeah, no doubt about it. 302 00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:04.279 But what do you think theats are of the old 303 00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:05.399 cyber truck getting Vanda? 304 00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:08.480 Are you going to go downtown Denver because I got 305 00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:10.080 to live your life? Well, I would say it's in 306 00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:11.000 the seventy five percent. 307 00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:12.519 Do you know what's really sad? 308 00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:16.159 Like I had to go downtown Denver for a deal, 309 00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:19.679 and then I had to turn around, drive home, take 310 00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:22.919 the valuables out of the car, put them in the garage, 311 00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:25.639 and then stop back at home on my way back 312 00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:26.480 to the office. 313 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:28.200 I mean, that's sad, right. 314 00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:31.320 But because our office, we have offices in a bunch 315 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:33.480 of places, but we've got this main office in the 316 00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:35.960 Tech Center. But I actually had to go home and 317 00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:39.200 put my good stuff away so I could drive down 318 00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:40.679 to a meeting in downtown Denver. 319 00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:45.279 Wow, that's sad. Do you think that's an overreaction? 320 00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:48.759 I just almost being prudent, very prudent, because there's certain 321 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:51.879 stuff like okay, you take my golf clubs that'll hurt, 322 00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:54.639 it'll help some homeowners. But you know, you can you 323 00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:56.840 can go out and good bye another golf clubs, but 324 00:15:57.000 --> 00:15:59.039 if somebody pulls a computer out of the car or 325 00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:01.399 something else, you can't have that happen. 326 00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:04.960 Yeah, I think you heard on the side of caution. Okay, 327 00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:07.960 smart move. So we'd love to hear from people. 328 00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:10.360 By the way, we're talking tariffs if you can tell, 329 00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:14.720 and the president putting twenty five percent on autos starting 330 00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:19.519 tonight from foreign countries. So let's talk about American cars. 331 00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:22.440 What are the best made, what are the safest you 332 00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:24.840 know what for those people who may normally buy a 333 00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:27.960 foreign car, you know, what are the best American alternatives? 334 00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:30.519 So I think we should have that conversation three or 335 00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:31.919 three someone three eight, two. 336 00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:34.720 Five, five the number. You know. I'm kind of with Ryan. 337 00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:38.960 My my favorite American cars have been probably well, the 338 00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:42.080 Corvette number one favorite car ever of any kind. The 339 00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:46.799 F one fifty just a tremendous machine, you know, the 340 00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:47.720 F one fifty. 341 00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:50.840 You know, So what are and like, what is the 342 00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:52.480 best American car out there? Right now? 343 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:54.679 Let's say you have somebody listening and they're just uber 344 00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:57.840 rich not like, well, you know what, how much do 345 00:16:57.960 --> 00:16:58.960 uber drivers make? 346 00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:00.320 It? 347 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:03.799 Depends on the way. They'd be literally uber rich if 348 00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:05.839 you drive and tip Uber drivers. 349 00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:08.960 Depends on the length of this drive. 350 00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:10.880 I mean, you know, three to five bucks is a 351 00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:12.599 nice cup. I think for the most part. 352 00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:15.519 Well, they may be uber rich from driving Uber, or 353 00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:18.680 they may be uber rich from owning Uber. But let's 354 00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:21.079 say somebody is uber rich in the audience right now 355 00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:23.880 and they just they're not going to buy a foreign 356 00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:26.880 car because of the tariffs are moral objection. What's the 357 00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:29.680 very best American made car they could get. Let's say 358 00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:33.960 that you've got somebody there just isn't discretionary income right now, 359 00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:36.920 and they just have to get the best possible American 360 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:40.359 car that they can afford, and it's going to be 361 00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:43.680 lower on the price scale.

Ryan. Is the Bronco we 375 00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:19.119 have now better than the F one fifty. Huh. 376 00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:23.079 It's a great talk topic.

We're talking about 382 00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:50.160 that and so much more as we dig into tariffs. 383 00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:53.880 Let's start that digging in beautiful Highlands Ranch of Colorado. 384 00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:56.200 We'll talk to Carly. You're on the Dan Caplis Show. 385 00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:56.920 Welcome Carly. 386 00:18:57.359 --> 00:18:57.920 Hi, Dan. 387 00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:02.759 As Kelly agrees with me. And I'm just calling to 388 00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:07.160 ask you what am I missing? If it's not harmful, 389 00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:09.240 because I've been paying as much as attention as I 390 00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:12.519 can of this. But if it's not harmful, in fact 391 00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:17.119 beneficial for other countries to charge the US tariff, and 392 00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:20.079 why in the world shouldn't we reciprocate with tariff's of 393 00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:22.839 her own. I don't get it. What am I missing? 394 00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:26.680 It seems like solid logic to me. Admittedly, no expert 395 00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:29.079 on it, but it seems like solid logic to me. 396 00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:32.079 Obviously. The concern, right is, I mean, what kind of 397 00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:33.200 TVs do you have in the house. 398 00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:36.519 Oh my gosh, I couldn't even tell you right now 399 00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:37.039 because you. 400 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:39.440 Have so many, right, because they're low priced. 401 00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:42.880
