Dan readily admits he's not an authority on giving market advice, but he'll follow his own example and intends to invest in the markets after the Dow Jones reacts to Trump's tariffs with a second straight day of losses.
Valdamar Archuleta, former president of the Colorado Log Cabin Republicans, joins Dan with his thoughts on why Democrats seem to be hi-jacked by their far-left base on lunatic fringe issues like trans-ing the kids.

This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast

fighting for the American way. It's Donald Trump. And that's
why he's willing to endure this pain right now, because
(00:21):
think about it, what has been the biggest threat to
the American way? I mean, obviously, no outside enemy is
ever going to conquer America. That the only way America
falls is from the inside. And so this insidious lawfare,
you know, where the Democrats were trying to abuse the
legal system to jail a political opponent they could not
beat at the polls. One of the greatest threats to
(00:43):
America ever. But the only reason President Trump is not
wrongfully ending his life in jail is that the working
people of America saved him. And he is obviously determined
to save the American middle class to say, the American
working class. And he can see it, he can see
(01:04):
where it's going on the current arc right now. If
something dramatic doesn't happen and reasonable people can debate whether
it should be tariffs, but if something dramatic doesn't happen,
how is the working class saved?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
How is the middle class saved?
Speaker 1 (01:17):
How do we do anything on this current arc other
than become a nation that makes nothing that everything we
rely on is made somewhere else, and all we do
is provide services and push paper and pump gas and
have bud tenders, et cetera. How do we become a
nation anything other than that? And then who loses out
(01:38):
and all that, it's the working people of America. Trump
sees that anybody's paying attention can see it. The difference
is he's willing to suffer political pain to try to
fix it.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Are tariffs guaranteed?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
What is guaranteed? Can you name one thing on the
face of the earth other than death and taxes that
are guaranteed?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Right?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
So, so Trump has the courage to step in and
try to do that to save the middle class. Now
this panic selling in Wall Street that obviously the media
is feeding, at least as to.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Private individual investors.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Yeah, because you know what, the media, which is the
Democratic Party most of it, they are scared to death.
These tariffs are going to succeed. They're not worried about
it failing tanking the markets. Do you really think any
of these elected Democrats now want to see the market
do well? Want to see the economy do well?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
They want maximum economic pain for the American people for
their own political gain. But no, they're terrified this tariff
play is going to work. That's why they're trying to
cause so much panic, so much pain, so quickly that
Trump isn't allowed to play it out.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
That's what's going on right now.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
That's why me and I'm know stock advisors so do
the opposite of.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Anything I suggest.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
But what I'm going to do personally is I'm absolutely
going to take advantage of this as I see it
and get some money.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Investor, I'm going to be kicking myself.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I'll come Monday morning, Ryan, when the markets start rising,
and listen, maybe it's Tuesday instead of Monday or whatever.
You could never time the market. But the point being
that who in the right mind just step back logically,
kind of like you know we did during COVID, my
wife and I when we were making decisions for our
own little investments. And you step back during COVID and
you look at the pig drop, and you just say,
(03:21):
but wait a second, whether it's a month from now
or whether it's five years from now, this is coming back.
America is coming back. So I'm very fortunate we decided
to make a commit, a real commitment there, and that
worked out great. This is, in my view, even easier
right now because with COVID right there were so many unknowns.
This is entirely within Trump's control, and anybody who's thinking
(03:44):
this through knows that he is not going to allow
this economy to fail.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
He's going to play this out. I'm not saying it's
going to get.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Better in a week, but he is in control. He
can change course any time he wants to if he
thinks he needs to. I don't think he's going to
have to, because I think he's going to exceeding getting leverage,
which is going to allow him to cut deals, which
is going to leave America in a better position, and
then things are just gonna They're not only going to
come back to where they were before this ten percent drop,
(04:11):
but they're going to go higher than that.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
So yeah, I just I just think.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
This is politically motivated panic right now in America, and
that's why We're looking at these headlines on CNN. They're
just obsessed with Trump out playing golf right now, and
they're running old clips of Trump saying, you know, of Biden,
there's the right time to play.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Golf, in a wrong time to play golf.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I'll tell you this, right now, this is the very
best time for Trump to be playing golf because it
sends the right message. There is no crisis. This is
a manufactured crisis. This is a media manufactured crisis. Yes,
there's going to be some pain, obviously, we're making a necessary,
(04:52):
you know, systemic structural adjustment, but.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
There is no crisis.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
So I think you should play thirty six today, Ryan,
I don't know it sounds like me, but it's seventy
ten already in Florida, so maybe seventy two, why not?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah, why not?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
So anyway, I really admire them for being willing to
take on this pain to try to try to change
things long term, because on the current track, lind, where
do you think, where do you think that working class
in America ends up ten years from now if something
doesn't change structurally.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
You're exactly right. The same old, same old just wasn't
getting it done. There were massive trade deficits. I know
that the pro market people out there will say, well,
that's because we buy a lot of foreign goods. But
the system is not set up at this point to
make us competitive in the world markets because of the
tariffs that are put on us. And what other way
are you going to get there than to use tariffs
as a cudgel. And we think eventually to get other
(05:46):
countries to lower their tariffs against us, and then the
tariffs that Trump is implemented, I'm sure they'll go away,
but only then.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
And it's exactly right.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
The people are reacting to this dand far differently in
the Upper Midwest, the rest Belt, the autoworker state, Michigan,
et cetera, that a lot of the rest of the
country is.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
And to your point, it's such a good one. Where's Trump.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Trump's not going to be out there panicking out front
when he thinks this.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Is going to work, and this is part.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Of his plan.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I love his message today. It's a great time to
get rich. Yeah, I love his messages to America. Scott Jennings,
I do hope he runs for Senate in Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
He's just so good. CNN last night, what.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
Is true today, was true for Joe Biden and every
other president that came before either of.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
These two guys.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
If people feel like their economic trajectory is on the upswing,
they will give you political leash. And if they feel
like their own trajectory is on the downswing, they will
punish you. You go back to Ronald Reagan, and even though
there were hard times in that first Reagan term, people
felt like the country was getting back on the right track.
(06:50):
They were willing to give him time because they believed
in his program. They believed in the confidence that Reagan
was projecting about America. That's what Trump has to do
here to the people that you think are going to
be impacted in the short term, and they may well be,
and Trump has acknowledged that he has to make them
believe that the long term implications for this and their
communities is worth it, even if they're experiencing short term pain.
(07:12):
So the political implication, abby, I think, all goes onto
the trajectory do you feel like things will go better
in the future, And that is the sales challenge.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
And what a great point there, because people forget and
I understand a lot of people listening probably aren't old
enough to remember it. But there were some tough times
during the Reagan years before those policies started to work,
and then we had this great surge.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
So it's an excellent point.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I understand we're a twenty four to seven cycle right now, right,
and so there's a different dynamic out there politically. But
I think this comes back to the way I open
the segment, which is, think about the timing.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Okay, this is the window.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Trump knows it because you get to the end of
this calendar year and then you're heavy into that dead
midterm year, right, You're heavy into that midterm year. So
I think that he's got this window now. But it's
another reason why I'm so confident. You know, he will
have his deals cut or many of them, and he'll
clearly have this thing trending the right way by the
(08:12):
end of the calendar year. Trump obviously wants this economy
to thrive. Obviously he does not want the Republicans hurt
in the midterms. You think he wants a Democratic House
that's going to then spend the next two years trying
to impeach him again. Now, so he's highly motivated. He's
in control of the timing. That's why I think all
this panic market selling right now is psycho stuff. We'll
(08:35):
get to some more great sound on this as we
go through when we come back out of this next break.
You'll enjoy this because anybody who who like me thinks
there is a chance there is a chance for the
Republicans to break through statewide and these offices in the
twenty six psycho because the Dems are so whack. Here's
their latest dropping today, Colorado lawmakers introduce a bill to
(08:57):
expand protections for quote undocumented immigrants. Why can't they say
illegal immigrants? I mean, it's just like abortion, right, It's
no personal offense to somebody who's here illegally to say
they're here illegally. It's not disparaging, it's not insulting. But
the reason they can't say it is like abortion, you know,
now they have to call it reproductive healthcare or something
(09:20):
like that. Talk about the opposite of true, right, Yeah, yeah,
abortions to healthcare is you know, kidnappingess to childcare. But
the reason they can't say the honest word is because
at that point they know they're defeated if they admit
the truth about what they're doing. People are going to
oppose it. You know, that's why they make up these
(09:41):
words that are the opposite or at least way short
of the truth. But when we come back, I'll give
you the details on that. And it just it gets
so much more whack. You just wonder, are they trying
to lose?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I think they believe they're electorally bulletproof. Now will police
sign this? Trying to go around now pretending like he's
Tom Homan after he creates Colorado is a sanctuary state?
Do you think he'll sign this? Details on Senate Bill
two seventy six when we come back on the Dankapla.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Show and now back to the dan Kaplass Show podcast
the Yummy.
Speaker 7 (10:19):
Days, there will be complaints from the globalists and the
outsources and special interests and the fake news always fake news.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Will always complain. But never forget.
Speaker 7 (10:29):
Every prediction our opponent's made about trade for the last
thirty years has been proven totally wrong.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
They were wrong.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
About NAFTA, they were wrong about China. They were wrong
about the.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
Transpecific partnership, which would have been a disaster if I
didn't terminate it, if I didn't turn that terminate that
United Auto Workers. You would have had no jobs in
this country. You would have had no jobs. I was
all going to other countries in my first term. They
said tariffs would crash the economy. Instead we built the
(11:03):
greatest economy in the history of the world. And again,
I have great respect for presidency of China, great respect
for China. But they were taking tremendous advantage of them
of us, and I commend them for that. I say, hey,
if you can get away with it, that's okay. But
you know, they understand exactly what's happening, and they probably
(11:24):
most of them are saying it's about time they did something.
But and they're gonna fight, and they're gonna fight for
everyone's going to fight.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
You know.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
It's like I say to the leaders, look, you got
to take care of your country, but we have to
start taking care of our country now. We can't do
what we've been doing for the last fifty years.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Boy, that is so true.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Can anybody really argue that the status quote is sustainable? Hey,
now you think Paulus is going to sign this thing?
Colorado lawmakers introduce bill to expand protections for quote undocumented
immigrants SYS from the Denver Posts. So normally when you
see a bill like this drop this late in the
session as the support of leadership, it's a top priority.
(12:02):
They're sneaking it in late so it doesn't have as
much time to seep into the public consciousness. They've got
to know the people this date are going to say,
are you psycho? And we all know the answer to that.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
So the Dems in the General Assembly Dan are just
trolling Polis at this point, knowing that he wants to
run for president and trying to derail that.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
I think that's a really fair question. I think it's
more obviously they just don't care about him, right, I
mean because at this point, I mean, look at how
radical so many of the Dems are, right, I mean,
we played the sound yesterday we had the Representative An Jefferson,
where you've got Democrats down there in these public hearings
saying no, we're not going to confer with parents groups
(12:43):
on bills that would say a parent's going to get
harmed in a custody fight if he insists his boy
is really a boy instead of a girl like he's
being told at school. No, we're not going to confer
with those parents' groups because they're the KKK. Comparing them
to the KKK, that civil rights legislation you don't confer
(13:03):
with the KKK. I mean, that's how far gone they are, right,
So people like that aren't going to care about Jared Polis, right,
because Polis now is trying to pull this con politically
nationally of him being some kind of quote moderate.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
So they don't care about Jared Poulis.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
And then he had the audacity Ryan, you may recall,
I'm sure we have the sound here, right, he had
the audacity, in a rare moment of candor, to speak
the truth and say abortion is bad. And so at
that point, yeah, yeah, if you're willing to speak the
truth and abortion, then most of the left at that
point will will never trust you or care about you. Again,
(13:41):
so clearly they don't care about Polis. But it'll be
interesting to see what he does with this. I cannot
imagine he would sign it, right. He spends so much
time now after he saw it the election results, trying
to pretend that he's been this immigration hawk.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Yeah, everybody here illegally committed in other crimes.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
They should run out while he signs all these bills
that to make it so hard, if not impossible, for
that to actually happen.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
So here's another one.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Now, some of the stuff in this bill that may
get your attention, and I'm quoting from the bill summary,
the official Legislative Bill summary of the Protects Civil Rights
Immigration Status Bill concerning measures to prevent the violation of
the civil rights of persons in Colorado based on immigration status.
(14:30):
How about the civil rights of citizens who are the
victims of crimes?
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Right?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
We all know that there are plenty of people who
committee legally who are otherwise great people. But there are
also a lot of people who committe legally who are
the worst of the worst. But obviously that the legislature
and the governor just don't care about them the victims
of them. So under current law, says the bill summary,
a person who does not have lawful immigration status must
(14:57):
submit an affidavit stating they have either applied for lawful
presence or will apply for lawful presence as soon as
they are eligible. When that person is applying for in
state student tuition classification or an identification document issued by
the state. Pursu into the Colorado Road and Community Safety Act.
(15:20):
The bill repeals these affidavit requirements. So think about what
the Democrats are doing. You don't even have to claim. Now,
you could come to Colorado illegally tomorrow and you don't
even have to sign a document saying that you've applied
for lawful presence or that you will apply for lawful
(15:40):
presence as soon as you're eligible. You don't even have
to sign one of those documents to get in state tuition.
You don't even have to to claim that you're going
to try to become lawful here. That's what the Colorado
Democrats are saying. If you want a state issued ID
in Colorado, you don't even have to that you intend
(16:02):
to gain lawful status. Now, why would they do that
other than to attract the largest number of people possible yep,
to come here illegally with no allegiance to this country
or to the state, no intention to stay here.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Why else would you come up with the provision like that.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
It's a large literal vacancy sign that is a magnet.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
You've made this point before, Dan, Come one, come all.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Illegals from the world round, come to Colorado and we'll
set you up here.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
Right.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
But they're not even pretending now to say, oh, come here,
and become part no part of America.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
No, come here and gain legal status.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
What they're advertising is come here and you don't even
have to say you want to gain legal status. Come
here and live separately, operate separately, no intention to gain
legal status, and we will.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Reward you for that. That's Those are the folks that
are actively recruiting.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Now remarkable, but it does show right they think they
are politically electorally bulletproof because nobody had thought otherwise. Would
ever even dream of letting a bill like that become public?
Well we'll find out together if they're right. Three or
three someone three eight two five five text d an
five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
It's a Friday.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
I got a lot of different topics, go and invite
you on any of those. But when we come back,
I want to play really smart guy Victor Davis Hanson.
He's been on the show a ton, but I want
to get some Victor Davis Hansen on the issue of tariffs.
Well worth hearing. You're on the Dan Kapla show. Three
or three someone three A two five five the number
(17:44):
text d an five seven seven three nine and join
great textures like this, Dan, you say Trump is in
control but he certainly isn't going to be accountable. He
will blame somebody else else if this goes wrong. Why
would people think this guy who's overcome everything, he's overcoming
at all the success he's had, is some kind of idiot.
(18:06):
He knows when you're the president, there's not going to
be anyone else you can possibly blame if this doesn't work,
which is why we can be sure it's going to work.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
You're on the Dankpla Show.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
It's so obvious who's going to win here, right? I
just don't understand the momentary nuttiness. I get that reasonable
people disagree on tariffs and that there's a risk, etc. Okay,
I get all that. I respect that, But A we
all know the status quo isn't going to work long term,
but more importantly, most immediately for the market, et cetera. Politics,
Donald Trump's in control of this. He levied the tariffs,
(18:47):
he can do his deals, pull the plug, etc. On
pretty much whatever timing he determines. So why would any
rational person believe that he's going to allow this to
tank the GOP politically, to tank his own presidency, let
alone to tank the economy. Yeah, that's what I don't get.
(19:08):
But hey, let's go to the vib Peylon. We always
enjoy talking to Valdemar R. Chiletta, former Colorado log Kevin
Republican President, and we've had a lot of different guests
on the latest really extreme craziness from the Dems at
the legislature, the anti parent trans bills, the latest HB
twenty five thirteen twelve. For those keeping score at home, Baldemar,
(19:30):
how you doing, my friend?
Speaker 3 (19:32):
I am doing great. How are you doing?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
I am living the dream Chili one today. I feel
bad for all my friends out at the home opener today.
I was taking some trial testimony and could not make it. Plus,
I don't know if you watch the game, but I
hear unfortunately not only did it go into extras, but
the Rockies dropped the game.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
But Valdemar, what do you.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Think we're talking motives today, what do you think is
the driving motive behind these extreme trans writes bills, including
this latest flagrantly unconstitutional, flagrantly anti parent bill that says, oh,
by the way, if you're a mom and you try
to tell your daughter Jane that she's really Jane and
not John like the people at school are trying to
(20:16):
tell her she is. Well, then that's going to get
you hammered in a custody fight. What do you think
is the motive behind that kind of lunacy.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Yeah, that's an interesting question, because I believe that the
majority of the people, even Democrats, would oppose this bill.
If they presented this bill to the public on the
ballot in November, it would failed because even Democrats are
not that crazy. I think the problem here in Colorado
(20:48):
is that in the Democrat Party, the Democrat voter base,
they're normal Democrats. The average Democrat does not speak up
and they do not hold their representatives accountable. The only
people in their party who are holding representatives accountable are
(21:08):
that far less part of the base, which is a
minority of the base. Why don't so vocal? I don't know.
It's irritating to me because last year I ran for
Congress in Denver. So I campaigned in Denver, and most
of the people I talked to just when I went
out to different events, festivals on the street, they agree
(21:30):
with so many of the Republican principles and the Republican
things and I believe, you know, that's why Donald Trump won,
because Donald Trump speaking to the majority of the country,
especially when it comes to the trans issue. You know,
you know, I get it. You know, some people are trans.
We want to support them, we want to care for them,
we want to you know, be there for them. But
when it comes to children, people understand that. You know,
(21:54):
children go through different phases. If a child has some
kind of gender dysphoria, mean they're going to be that
way their entire life. And the majority of everyone knows that.
And so to do things to a child that will
change them or affect them for the rest of their life,
the vast majority of Americans do not want that to happen.
Same thing when it comes to female spaces and sports,
(22:17):
people don't want that. But for some reason, the Democrat Party,
and especially here in Colorado, they are not backing away
from that. And it's because they do have more fear
of that small part of their base than the majority
of their base. And I don't know why the majority
doesn't speak.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I think I do.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Valdemar, let me bounce this off you because you're a
Democrat or not. I was a Democrat for many years before,
but I think that that the majority is terrorized, that
the majority thinks it's not worth it because the minority,
the left and control, they will lie about you, they
will cancel you, they will try to harm you in
(22:56):
every way they can without committing outright crimes.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
And so I think that's what hasn't petrified.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
It's the same reason that so many parents and come on,
what does anybody love more than their child? So many
parents would not rise up against the left and say,
wait a second, you cannot put a man on the basketball.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Court with my daughter. She's going to get hurt.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
They wouldn't rise up against the left for fear of
being run out of civilized society and the child and
the family banished.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Yeah, you know, you're correct. They are afraid of that,
of being called it. Like, there's so many people who
are afraid to be called a racist or to be
called homophobic or transphobic. And I feel like the Democrat
base needs to step up and say that this isn't okay. Now,
you know, like libertarians, you know, us Republicans, like we
(23:53):
are openly saying these things, but we really do need
moderate and average Demo crats in Colorado to grow a
backbone and step up and say something because they don't
want this. Nobody wants this. But you were saying it
will pass. They will attempt to pass it. I hope
it doesn't dish, but maybe it will. And it's because
(24:14):
they are afraid of being called me. I don't want
anyone to call me mean.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
And I think the left goes beyond that. And I
admire your courage in standing up to the hard left
on lots of stuff. Baldemar Archiletta, our guests, Baltimore. You
know what I think it's going to take for the
Colorado Democratic Party is and I understand you know they're
going to win a lot of races for a while,
but I think they're on a trajectory where eventually that
spell is going to get broken, but by a certain
(24:41):
kind of GOP candidate. But on your side, I think
it's going to take a truly moderate, common sense, really
strong willed, articulate, compelling, powerful in multiple ways woman candidate
who is going to rise up and for the very
(25:01):
first time win one of the high offices in Colorado. Right,
because the Colorado Dems, for all their holier than DAO stuff,
just keep colecting, boring old white guys to most of
the top jobs. Yeah, so I think you're going to
see that dynamic truly more moderate woman, you know, rise
up into one of the top jobs and just kind
of start to moderate that party. But short of that, yeah,
(25:24):
they're just it's just going to go further and further crazed.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Yeah, it is getting pretty bad. And I think this.
You know, I'm not a fan of our Colorado legislative
session because it seems like it's horrible thing after horrible
thing that is presented to us and it's just like
a nightmare for one hundred and twenty days. But but
some of the things they're pushing this round, I really
do think Republicans in twenty six need to be taking
(25:52):
note of all this stuff happening right now and remind
people next year what they were trying, whether they're successful
or not, this is what they tried to do. This
is what they were pushing out there, because no parents
going to like this, and especially you know when we
have a large Hispanic population the state. I guarantee you
(26:13):
the Hispanic community is not gonna like this. Yes, yes,
the community is not like the same man Asian community
is not gonna like this, it's gonna like it. Community
don't like this bill. No one likes this.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Yeah, No one with kids is going to like this bill.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Yeah. And if it's the only people who want to
like put themselves on a pedestals like I am the
compassionate fighter for the trans community. You know a lot
of people the trans community are not even gonna like
this bill.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Well, if you're compassionate, this is the last thing you're
going to do to kids. You know what they're doing
through these bills. But Baldemar, are great of you to
join us, and I hope we talk against soon.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Yeah, thank you, it's good chatting with you.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Thank you, my friend. You take care of Valdemar. Archie Letta.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Hey, Texter, Dan, I've never heard Victor Davis Hansen on
your show. Wow. I hit him on so many times
and then Ryan, did you hear the story of why
he stopped coming on? Yeah, he used to come on
all the time, and then a producer ticked him off.
Not me, and no, no, this is before the Ryan
Schulling era, of course, but a producer ticked him off
(27:19):
and I didn't. I did not blame Victor one bit
for that. And I called him up. I tried to
paper it over.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
But now, because he's a big time guy.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
What did the producer do?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
I'm trying to remember the details. But but but.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Victor had every right to be angry, you know, because
first of all, you know, the way you treat people,
the way we all treat people.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
I don't care if somebody's a.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Homeless guy who we were going to have as a
guest on the show. You treat everybody with respect, Victor
Davis Hansen, big timer.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Yeah. And then you know, I think what the.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Producer did was some last seconds scheduling change for no
good reason, and then didn't communicate with him. And you know,
VDH got ticked and I didn't blame them, but oof,
but I I was not able to to save that.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
One, which is rare.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
Let me see what Kelly and I can do.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yeah, no, hey, that would be that'd be worth we
used to say. In fact, I think to that producer,
we used to say, that'll be worth a six pack
of keystone.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
But do they even make keystone anymore? They do, but
nobody buys it. Yeah, yeah, why don't they make people
buy it?
Speaker 1 (28:23):
And speaking of which, hey, when we come back and
this won't be the only topic.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
We have a bunch going on in the news today.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
But I've had some great texts and suggestions about something
that has me really excited, which is, if I'm going
to get this cyber truck, you know, to stand up
to the Tesla Terris, what what kind of art to
wrap it in? And I've had some great suggestions and
would really appreciate hearing from folks on this. I've just
started to pay attention to this whole wrapping wr api
(28:52):
INNG world for vehicles. But it's unlimited. Anything you can envision,
you can print, you can wrap a vehicle in. And
so if any he has any thoughts, I'm starting to
really concretize that you're on the dan Capla Show.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
And now back to the Dankaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Glad you're here. Some great text rolling in as well.
Supposed to be better weather starting tomorrow, right, I think
across the Front Range and most of the states, So we'll.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Look forward to that. Let's see. Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
my lord, by.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Tuesday, going to be seventy two of our songs to
the Front Range.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
That's the great thing about Colorado, isn't it? Weather like
today growing up in Chicago and I had the greatest
child at ever. But yeah, this year're going to look
at for four or five months. Colorado might have it
for a day or two, Dan says a Texter. Take
a look at that night navy night camo pattern sent
with loud effect.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I will do that, thank you.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
As we talk about the best wrap for a cyber truck,
somebody a great suggestion. They actually called my office and
left the suggestion, which I sure appreciated, which was a
bear rap. And there are some really really cool animal
raps if you just look online, which is my new obsession,
and just some amazing art you can do with these
(30:10):
car raps.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
But I think you'd have to do it just right.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
I've been looking at some of the Quantum you know,
they were on the show yesterday looking at some of
these patriotic raps, and some of them like you saw
the one with the bright American flag and then the
picture of Trump rising up against the assassin and Butler.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
But they have some very subtle.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Versions out there where you'll have what looks like just
this really nice colored car, but then there's this subtle
imprint of the American flag and maybe of the Declaration.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Of Independence something like that.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
That's really cool, Dan, Take a look at all the
Democrat terrorists now that they're burning other Democrats Tesla's because
they don't like Elon Musk. Yeah, and I don't think
America big fans of that right now. And that's why
I'd be very interesting to see the president's approval. Don't
(31:02):
be surprised if it's higher than you would expect given
the Democrat Party slash media driven panic and gloom and
doom effort right now across the country, which is obviously
having an effect on the market, which I believe will
be a very short term and is kind of ludicrous, Dan,
(31:23):
And some of these are just too long, my apologies.
This is intriguing, Dan, Rich is when you have a
five car garage and your Ferrari still sits out in
the rain. This goes back to a conversation where having
earlier and my mom was so incredibly wise, and one
of the things she said early to us is the
key to happiness is understanding the right definition of wealth.
(31:46):
And she's so right about that right and just absolutely brilliant,
because those who define it as money, how many of
those actually end up happy? I would think that's a
pretty small number. So I suggest this text was a
tongue in cheek. What do you think, crying, Dan, Democrats
are in favor of drag shows for children, body mutilation,
(32:08):
and pornographic books.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Democrats are sex perverts, you know, Big.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Win today we had them on this start the show,
Dan Snoberger U superintendent of Elizabeth School District, and they've
been on the show this week reading excerpts from these
really awful books they want off their shelves. Acl us
suing to put them on the shelf. Big win today
in the tense circuit Court of Appeals which issued a
stay of the trial court's order and has said no,
(32:34):
these these books do not have to be put on
the shelves at this point in the litigation.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
And as we often see with these very critical.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Pieces of public safety, public interest litigation, you know, it
takes a long fight across multiple levels, and when it
comes to Colorado often you know, all the way to
the US Supreme Court. But so respect Elizabeth for taking
on that fight for their kids and really extension for
all the kids.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
Were you surprised Dan by the Tenth Circuit, which is
all Democrat appointed justices I.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Was not surprised personally.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
I was not surprised because I just don't see and
if you're new to the issue, we don't have time
to really detail it here. But basically, there are these
books excerpts are read on air, just horrifically obscene stuff,
some of it blatantly dangerous, you know, a book just
talking about different ways to commit suicide. And I just
don't see the winning argument of the ACLU as to
(33:31):
why a school should have to keep those.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
On the shelves.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
So I was not surprised, and hopefully this bodes well
for the next steps.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
They're floating it.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
Mister Snowberger said, under the guise of it's an LGBTQ
author or it's a black author, and if you shut
it down then you're discriminated.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Yeah, but if you're going to win that case, you
have to be able to show that similar books written
by say Caucasians.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Yeah, sure are on the shelves.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
And that's something we covered in the discussions on the
show this week. They tell us there aren't, and I'm
sure they aren't correct. Yeah, So how does the ACOU
win that case? So I know, Yeah, I honestly was
not surprised the tenth Circuits stepped in and was glad
to see they did and hopefully that bodes well. Hey,
you have a tremendous weekend, my friend, the sun will
(34:19):
be out tomorrow. That will look and feel so good.
And Kelly, you're gonna have a very very cold husband
and daughter. Tonight they bravely went out to the Rockies opener.
That's a tough ombres there, and a tough ombre. But
enjoy the weekend.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Please join us Monday on The Dan Kapla Show.
This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every
single day on your favorite podcast platform. Tell me who's
fighting for the American way. It's Donald Trump. And that's
why he's willing to endure this pain right now, because
(00:21):
think about it, what has been the biggest threat to
the American way? I mean, obviously, no outside enemy is
ever going to conquer America. That the only way America
falls is from the inside. And so this insidious lawfare,
you know, where the Democrats were trying to abuse the
legal system to jail a political opponent they could not
beat at the polls. One of the greatest threats to
(00:43):
America ever. But the only reason President Trump is not
wrongfully ending his life in jail is that the working
people of America saved him. And he is obviously determined
to save the American middle class to say, the American
working class. And he can see it, he can see
(01:04):
where it's going on the current arc right now. If
something dramatic doesn't happen and reasonable people can debate whether
it should be tariffs, but if something dramatic doesn't happen,
how is the working class saved?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
How is the middle class saved?
Speaker 1 (01:17):
How do we do anything on this current arc other
than become a nation that makes nothing that everything we
rely on is made somewhere else, and all we do
is provide services and push paper and pump gas and
have bud tenders, et cetera. How do we become a
nation anything other than that? And then who loses out
(01:38):
and all that, it's the working people of America. Trump
sees that anybody's paying attention can see it. The difference
is he's willing to suffer political pain to try to
fix it.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Are tariffs guaranteed?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
What is guaranteed? Can you name one thing on the
face of the earth other than death and taxes that
are guaranteed?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Right?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
So, so Trump has the courage to step in and
try to do that to save the middle class. Now
this panic selling in Wall Street that obviously the media
is feeding, at least as to.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Private individual investors.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Yeah, because you know what, the media, which is the
Democratic Party most of it, they are scared to death.
These tariffs are going to succeed. They're not worried about
it failing tanking the markets. Do you really think any
of these elected Democrats now want to see the market
do well? Want to see the economy do well?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
They want maximum economic pain for the American people for
their own political gain. But no, they're terrified this tariff
play is going to work. That's why they're trying to
cause so much panic, so much pain, so quickly that
Trump isn't allowed to play it out.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
That's what's going on right now.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
That's why me and I'm know stock advisors so do
the opposite of.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Anything I suggest.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
But what I'm going to do personally is I'm absolutely
going to take advantage of this as I see it
and get some money.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Investor, I'm going to be kicking myself.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I'll come Monday morning, Ryan, when the markets start rising,
and listen, maybe it's Tuesday instead of Monday or whatever.
You could never time the market. But the point being
that who in the right mind just step back logically,
kind of like you know we did during COVID, my
wife and I when we were making decisions for our
own little investments. And you step back during COVID and
you look at the pig drop, and you just say,
(03:21):
but wait a second, whether it's a month from now
or whether it's five years from now, this is coming back.
America is coming back. So I'm very fortunate we decided
to make a commit, a real commitment there, and that
worked out great. This is, in my view, even easier
right now because with COVID right there were so many unknowns.
This is entirely within Trump's control, and anybody who's thinking
(03:44):
this through knows that he is not going to allow
this economy to fail.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
He's going to play this out. I'm not saying it's
going to get.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Better in a week, but he is in control. He
can change course any time he wants to if he
thinks he needs to. I don't think he's going to
have to, because I think he's going to exceeding getting leverage,
which is going to allow him to cut deals, which
is going to leave America in a better position, and
then things are just gonna They're not only going to
come back to where they were before this ten percent drop,
(04:11):
but they're going to go higher than that.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
So yeah, I just I just think.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
This is politically motivated panic right now in America, and
that's why We're looking at these headlines on CNN. They're
just obsessed with Trump out playing golf right now, and
they're running old clips of Trump saying, you know, of Biden,
there's the right time to play.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Golf, in a wrong time to play golf.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I'll tell you this, right now, this is the very
best time for Trump to be playing golf because it
sends the right message. There is no crisis. This is
a manufactured crisis. This is a media manufactured crisis. Yes,
there's going to be some pain, obviously, we're making a necessary,
(04:52):
you know, systemic structural adjustment, but.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
There is no crisis.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
So I think you should play thirty six today, Ryan,
I don't know it sounds like me, but it's seventy
ten already in Florida, so maybe seventy two, why not?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah, why not?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
So anyway, I really admire them for being willing to
take on this pain to try to try to change
things long term, because on the current track, lind, where
do you think, where do you think that working class
in America ends up ten years from now if something
doesn't change structurally.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
You're exactly right. The same old, same old just wasn't
getting it done. There were massive trade deficits. I know
that the pro market people out there will say, well,
that's because we buy a lot of foreign goods. But
the system is not set up at this point to
make us competitive in the world markets because of the
tariffs that are put on us. And what other way
are you going to get there than to use tariffs
as a cudgel. And we think eventually to get other
(05:46):
countries to lower their tariffs against us, and then the
tariffs that Trump is implemented, I'm sure they'll go away,
but only then.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
And it's exactly right.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
The people are reacting to this dand far differently in
the Upper Midwest, the rest Belt, the autoworker state, Michigan,
et cetera, that a lot of the rest of the
country is.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
And to your point, it's such a good one. Where's Trump.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Trump's not going to be out there panicking out front
when he thinks this.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Is going to work, and this is part.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Of his plan.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I love his message today. It's a great time to
get rich. Yeah, I love his messages to America. Scott Jennings,
I do hope he runs for Senate in Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
He's just so good. CNN last night, what.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
Is true today, was true for Joe Biden and every
other president that came before either of.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
These two guys.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
If people feel like their economic trajectory is on the upswing,
they will give you political leash. And if they feel
like their own trajectory is on the downswing, they will
punish you. You go back to Ronald Reagan, and even though
there were hard times in that first Reagan term, people
felt like the country was getting back on the right track.
(06:50):
They were willing to give him time because they believed
in his program. They believed in the confidence that Reagan
was projecting about America. That's what Trump has to do
here to the people that you think are going to
be impacted in the short term, and they may well be,
and Trump has acknowledged that he has to make them
believe that the long term implications for this and their
communities is worth it, even if they're experiencing short term pain.
(07:12):
So the political implication, abby, I think, all goes onto
the trajectory do you feel like things will go better
in the future, And that is the sales challenge.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
And what a great point there, because people forget and
I understand a lot of people listening probably aren't old
enough to remember it. But there were some tough times
during the Reagan years before those policies started to work,
and then we had this great surge.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
So it's an excellent point.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I understand we're a twenty four to seven cycle right now, right,
and so there's a different dynamic out there politically. But
I think this comes back to the way I open
the segment, which is, think about the timing.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Okay, this is the window.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Trump knows it because you get to the end of
this calendar year and then you're heavy into that dead
midterm year, right, You're heavy into that midterm year. So
I think that he's got this window now. But it's
another reason why I'm so confident. You know, he will
have his deals cut or many of them, and he'll
clearly have this thing trending the right way by the
(08:12):
end of the calendar year. Trump obviously wants this economy
to thrive. Obviously he does not want the Republicans hurt
in the midterms. You think he wants a Democratic House
that's going to then spend the next two years trying
to impeach him again. Now, so he's highly motivated. He's
in control of the timing. That's why I think all
this panic market selling right now is psycho stuff. We'll
(08:35):
get to some more great sound on this as we
go through when we come back out of this next break.
You'll enjoy this because anybody who who like me thinks
there is a chance there is a chance for the
Republicans to break through statewide and these offices in the
twenty six psycho because the Dems are so whack. Here's
their latest dropping today, Colorado lawmakers introduce a bill to
(08:57):
expand protections for quote undocumented immigrants. Why can't they say
illegal immigrants? I mean, it's just like abortion, right, It's
no personal offense to somebody who's here illegally to say
they're here illegally. It's not disparaging, it's not insulting. But
the reason they can't say it is like abortion, you know,
now they have to call it reproductive healthcare or something
(09:20):
like that. Talk about the opposite of true, right, Yeah, yeah,
abortions to healthcare is you know, kidnappingess to childcare. But
the reason they can't say the honest word is because
at that point they know they're defeated if they admit
the truth about what they're doing. People are going to
oppose it. You know, that's why they make up these
(09:41):
words that are the opposite or at least way short
of the truth. But when we come back, I'll give
you the details on that. And it just it gets
so much more whack. You just wonder, are they trying
to lose?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I think they believe they're electorally bulletproof. Now will police
sign this? Trying to go around now pretending like he's
Tom Homan after he creates Colorado is a sanctuary state?
Do you think he'll sign this? Details on Senate Bill
two seventy six when we come back on the Dankapla.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Show and now back to the dan Kaplass Show podcast
the Yummy.
Speaker 7 (10:19):
Days, there will be complaints from the globalists and the
outsources and special interests and the fake news always fake news.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Will always complain. But never forget.
Speaker 7 (10:29):
Every prediction our opponent's made about trade for the last
thirty years has been proven totally wrong.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
They were wrong.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
About NAFTA, they were wrong about China. They were wrong
about the.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
Transpecific partnership, which would have been a disaster if I
didn't terminate it, if I didn't turn that terminate that
United Auto Workers. You would have had no jobs in
this country. You would have had no jobs. I was
all going to other countries in my first term. They
said tariffs would crash the economy. Instead we built the
(11:03):
greatest economy in the history of the world. And again,
I have great respect for presidency of China, great respect
for China. But they were taking tremendous advantage of them
of us, and I commend them for that. I say, hey,
if you can get away with it, that's okay. But
you know, they understand exactly what's happening, and they probably
(11:24):
most of them are saying it's about time they did something.
But and they're gonna fight, and they're gonna fight for
everyone's going to fight.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
You know.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
It's like I say to the leaders, look, you got
to take care of your country, but we have to
start taking care of our country now. We can't do
what we've been doing for the last fifty years.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Boy, that is so true.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Can anybody really argue that the status quote is sustainable? Hey,
now you think Paulus is going to sign this thing?
Colorado lawmakers introduce bill to expand protections for quote undocumented
immigrants SYS from the Denver Posts. So normally when you
see a bill like this drop this late in the
session as the support of leadership, it's a top priority.
(12:02):
They're sneaking it in late so it doesn't have as
much time to seep into the public consciousness. They've got
to know the people this date are going to say,
are you psycho? And we all know the answer to that.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
So the Dems in the General Assembly Dan are just
trolling Polis at this point, knowing that he wants to
run for president and trying to derail that.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
I think that's a really fair question. I think it's
more obviously they just don't care about him, right, I
mean because at this point, I mean, look at how
radical so many of the Dems are, right, I mean,
we played the sound yesterday we had the Representative An Jefferson,
where you've got Democrats down there in these public hearings
saying no, we're not going to confer with parents groups
(12:43):
on bills that would say a parent's going to get
harmed in a custody fight if he insists his boy
is really a boy instead of a girl like he's
being told at school. No, we're not going to confer
with those parents' groups because they're the KKK. Comparing them
to the KKK, that civil rights legislation you don't confer
(13:03):
with the KKK. I mean, that's how far gone they are, right,
So people like that aren't going to care about Jared Polis, right,
because Polis now is trying to pull this con politically
nationally of him being some kind of quote moderate.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
So they don't care about Jared Poulis.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
And then he had the audacity Ryan, you may recall,
I'm sure we have the sound here, right, he had
the audacity, in a rare moment of candor, to speak
the truth and say abortion is bad. And so at
that point, yeah, yeah, if you're willing to speak the
truth and abortion, then most of the left at that
point will will never trust you or care about you. Again,
(13:41):
so clearly they don't care about Polis. But it'll be
interesting to see what he does with this. I cannot
imagine he would sign it, right. He spends so much
time now after he saw it the election results, trying
to pretend that he's been this immigration hawk.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Yeah, everybody here illegally committed in other crimes.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
They should run out while he signs all these bills
that to make it so hard, if not impossible, for
that to actually happen.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
So here's another one.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Now, some of the stuff in this bill that may
get your attention, and I'm quoting from the bill summary,
the official Legislative Bill summary of the Protects Civil Rights
Immigration Status Bill concerning measures to prevent the violation of
the civil rights of persons in Colorado based on immigration status.
(14:30):
How about the civil rights of citizens who are the
victims of crimes?
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Right?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
We all know that there are plenty of people who
committee legally who are otherwise great people. But there are
also a lot of people who committe legally who are
the worst of the worst. But obviously that the legislature
and the governor just don't care about them the victims
of them. So under current law, says the bill summary,
a person who does not have lawful immigration status must
(14:57):
submit an affidavit stating they have either applied for lawful
presence or will apply for lawful presence as soon as
they are eligible. When that person is applying for in
state student tuition classification or an identification document issued by
the state. Pursu into the Colorado Road and Community Safety Act.
(15:20):
The bill repeals these affidavit requirements. So think about what
the Democrats are doing. You don't even have to claim. Now,
you could come to Colorado illegally tomorrow and you don't
even have to sign a document saying that you've applied
for lawful presence or that you will apply for lawful
(15:40):
presence as soon as you're eligible. You don't even have
to sign one of those documents to get in state tuition.
You don't even have to to claim that you're going
to try to become lawful here. That's what the Colorado
Democrats are saying. If you want a state issued ID
in Colorado, you don't even have to that you intend
(16:02):
to gain lawful status. Now, why would they do that
other than to attract the largest number of people possible yep,
to come here illegally with no allegiance to this country
or to the state, no intention to stay here.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Why else would you come up with the provision like that.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
It's a large literal vacancy sign that is a magnet.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
You've made this point before, Dan, Come one, come all.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Illegals from the world round, come to Colorado and we'll
set you up here.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
Right.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
But they're not even pretending now to say, oh, come here,
and become part no part of America.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
No, come here and gain legal status.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
What they're advertising is come here and you don't even
have to say you want to gain legal status. Come
here and live separately, operate separately, no intention to gain
legal status, and we will.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Reward you for that. That's Those are the folks that
are actively recruiting.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Now remarkable, but it does show right they think they
are politically electorally bulletproof because nobody had thought otherwise. Would
ever even dream of letting a bill like that become public?
Well we'll find out together if they're right. Three or
three someone three eight two five five text d an
five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
It's a Friday.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
I got a lot of different topics, go and invite
you on any of those. But when we come back,
I want to play really smart guy Victor Davis Hanson.
He's been on the show a ton, but I want
to get some Victor Davis Hansen on the issue of tariffs.
Well worth hearing. You're on the Dan Kapla show. Three
or three someone three A two five five the number
(17:44):
text d an five seven seven three nine and join
great textures like this, Dan, you say Trump is in
control but he certainly isn't going to be accountable. He
will blame somebody else else if this goes wrong. Why
would people think this guy who's overcome everything, he's overcoming
at all the success he's had, is some kind of idiot.
(18:06):
He knows when you're the president, there's not going to
be anyone else you can possibly blame if this doesn't work,
which is why we can be sure it's going to work.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
You're on the Dankpla Show.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
It's so obvious who's going to win here, right? I
just don't understand the momentary nuttiness. I get that reasonable
people disagree on tariffs and that there's a risk, etc. Okay,
I get all that. I respect that, But A we
all know the status quo isn't going to work long term,
but more importantly, most immediately for the market, et cetera. Politics,
Donald Trump's in control of this. He levied the tariffs,
(18:47):
he can do his deals, pull the plug, etc. On
pretty much whatever timing he determines. So why would any
rational person believe that he's going to allow this to
tank the GOP politically, to tank his own presidency, let
alone to tank the economy. Yeah, that's what I don't get.
(19:08):
But hey, let's go to the vib Peylon. We always
enjoy talking to Valdemar R. Chiletta, former Colorado log Kevin
Republican President, and we've had a lot of different guests
on the latest really extreme craziness from the Dems at
the legislature, the anti parent trans bills, the latest HB
twenty five thirteen twelve. For those keeping score at home, Baldemar,
(19:30):
how you doing, my friend?
Speaker 3 (19:32):
I am doing great. How are you doing?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
I am living the dream Chili one today. I feel
bad for all my friends out at the home opener today.
I was taking some trial testimony and could not make it. Plus,
I don't know if you watch the game, but I
hear unfortunately not only did it go into extras, but
the Rockies dropped the game.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
But Valdemar, what do you.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Think we're talking motives today, what do you think is
the driving motive behind these extreme trans writes bills, including
this latest flagrantly unconstitutional, flagrantly anti parent bill that says, oh,
by the way, if you're a mom and you try
to tell your daughter Jane that she's really Jane and
not John like the people at school are trying to
(20:16):
tell her she is. Well, then that's going to get
you hammered in a custody fight. What do you think
is the motive behind that kind of lunacy.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Yeah, that's an interesting question, because I believe that the
majority of the people, even Democrats, would oppose this bill.
If they presented this bill to the public on the
ballot in November, it would failed because even Democrats are
not that crazy. I think the problem here in Colorado
(20:48):
is that in the Democrat Party, the Democrat voter base,
they're normal Democrats. The average Democrat does not speak up
and they do not hold their representatives accountable. The only
people in their party who are holding representatives accountable are
(21:08):
that far less part of the base, which is a
minority of the base. Why don't so vocal? I don't know.
It's irritating to me because last year I ran for
Congress in Denver. So I campaigned in Denver, and most
of the people I talked to just when I went
out to different events, festivals on the street, they agree
(21:30):
with so many of the Republican principles and the Republican
things and I believe, you know, that's why Donald Trump won,
because Donald Trump speaking to the majority of the country,
especially when it comes to the trans issue. You know,
you know, I get it. You know, some people are trans.
We want to support them, we want to care for them,
we want to you know, be there for them. But
when it comes to children, people understand that. You know,
(21:54):
children go through different phases. If a child has some
kind of gender dysphoria, mean they're going to be that
way their entire life. And the majority of everyone knows that.
And so to do things to a child that will
change them or affect them for the rest of their life,
the vast majority of Americans do not want that to happen.
Same thing when it comes to female spaces and sports,
(22:17):
people don't want that. But for some reason, the Democrat Party,
and especially here in Colorado, they are not backing away
from that. And it's because they do have more fear
of that small part of their base than the majority
of their base. And I don't know why the majority
doesn't speak.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I think I do.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Valdemar, let me bounce this off you because you're a
Democrat or not. I was a Democrat for many years before,
but I think that that the majority is terrorized, that
the majority thinks it's not worth it because the minority,
the left and control, they will lie about you, they
will cancel you, they will try to harm you in
(22:56):
every way they can without committing outright crimes.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
And so I think that's what hasn't petrified.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
It's the same reason that so many parents and come on,
what does anybody love more than their child? So many
parents would not rise up against the left and say,
wait a second, you cannot put a man on the basketball.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Court with my daughter. She's going to get hurt.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
They wouldn't rise up against the left for fear of
being run out of civilized society and the child and
the family banished.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Yeah, you know, you're correct. They are afraid of that,
of being called it. Like, there's so many people who
are afraid to be called a racist or to be
called homophobic or transphobic. And I feel like the Democrat
base needs to step up and say that this isn't okay. Now,
you know, like libertarians, you know, us Republicans, like we
(23:53):
are openly saying these things, but we really do need
moderate and average Demo crats in Colorado to grow a
backbone and step up and say something because they don't
want this. Nobody wants this. But you were saying it
will pass. They will attempt to pass it. I hope
it doesn't dish, but maybe it will. And it's because
(24:14):
they are afraid of being called me. I don't want
anyone to call me mean.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
And I think the left goes beyond that. And I
admire your courage in standing up to the hard left
on lots of stuff. Baldemar Archiletta, our guests, Baltimore. You
know what I think it's going to take for the
Colorado Democratic Party is and I understand you know they're
going to win a lot of races for a while,
but I think they're on a trajectory where eventually that
spell is going to get broken, but by a certain
(24:41):
kind of GOP candidate. But on your side, I think
it's going to take a truly moderate, common sense, really
strong willed, articulate, compelling, powerful in multiple ways woman candidate
who is going to rise up and for the very
(25:01):
first time win one of the high offices in Colorado. Right,
because the Colorado Dems, for all their holier than DAO stuff,
just keep colecting, boring old white guys to most of
the top jobs. Yeah, so I think you're going to
see that dynamic truly more moderate woman, you know, rise
up into one of the top jobs and just kind
of start to moderate that party. But short of that, yeah,
(25:24):
they're just it's just going to go further and further crazed.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Yeah, it is getting pretty bad. And I think this.
You know, I'm not a fan of our Colorado legislative
session because it seems like it's horrible thing after horrible
thing that is presented to us and it's just like
a nightmare for one hundred and twenty days. But but
some of the things they're pushing this round, I really
do think Republicans in twenty six need to be taking
(25:52):
note of all this stuff happening right now and remind
people next year what they were trying, whether they're successful
or not, this is what they tried to do. This
is what they were pushing out there, because no parents
going to like this, and especially you know when we
have a large Hispanic population the state. I guarantee you
(26:13):
the Hispanic community is not gonna like this. Yes, yes,
the community is not like the same man Asian community
is not gonna like this, it's gonna like it. Community
don't like this bill. No one likes this.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Yeah, No one with kids is going to like this bill.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Yeah. And if it's the only people who want to
like put themselves on a pedestals like I am the
compassionate fighter for the trans community. You know a lot
of people the trans community are not even gonna like
this bill.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Well, if you're compassionate, this is the last thing you're
going to do to kids. You know what they're doing
through these bills. But Baldemar, are great of you to
join us, and I hope we talk against soon.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Yeah, thank you, it's good chatting with you.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Thank you, my friend. You take care of Valdemar. Archie Letta.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Hey, Texter, Dan, I've never heard Victor Davis Hansen on
your show. Wow. I hit him on so many times
and then Ryan, did you hear the story of why
he stopped coming on? Yeah, he used to come on
all the time, and then a producer ticked him off.
Not me, and no, no, this is before the Ryan
Schulling era, of course, but a producer ticked him off
(27:19):
and I didn't. I did not blame Victor one bit
for that. And I called him up. I tried to
paper it over.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
But now, because he's a big time guy.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
What did the producer do?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
I'm trying to remember the details. But but but.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Victor had every right to be angry, you know, because
first of all, you know, the way you treat people,
the way we all treat people.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
I don't care if somebody's a.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Homeless guy who we were going to have as a
guest on the show. You treat everybody with respect, Victor
Davis Hansen, big timer.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Yeah. And then you know, I think what the.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Producer did was some last seconds scheduling change for no
good reason, and then didn't communicate with him. And you know,
VDH got ticked and I didn't blame them, but oof,
but I I was not able to to save that.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
One, which is rare.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
Let me see what Kelly and I can do.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yeah, no, hey, that would be that'd be worth we
used to say. In fact, I think to that producer,
we used to say, that'll be worth a six pack
of keystone.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
But do they even make keystone anymore? They do, but
nobody buys it. Yeah, yeah, why don't they make people
buy it?
Speaker 1 (28:23):
And speaking of which, hey, when we come back and
this won't be the only topic.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
We have a bunch going on in the news today.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
But I've had some great texts and suggestions about something
that has me really excited, which is, if I'm going
to get this cyber truck, you know, to stand up
to the Tesla Terris, what what kind of art to
wrap it in? And I've had some great suggestions and
would really appreciate hearing from folks on this. I've just
started to pay attention to this whole wrapping wr api
(28:52):
INNG world for vehicles. But it's unlimited. Anything you can envision,
you can print, you can wrap a vehicle in. And
so if any he has any thoughts, I'm starting to
really concretize that you're on the dan Capla Show.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
And now back to the Dankaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Glad you're here. Some great text rolling in as well.
Supposed to be better weather starting tomorrow, right, I think
across the Front Range and most of the states, So we'll.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Look forward to that. Let's see. Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
my lord, by.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Tuesday, going to be seventy two of our songs to
the Front Range.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
That's the great thing about Colorado, isn't it? Weather like
today growing up in Chicago and I had the greatest
child at ever. But yeah, this year're going to look
at for four or five months. Colorado might have it
for a day or two, Dan says a Texter. Take
a look at that night navy night camo pattern sent
with loud effect.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I will do that, thank you.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
As we talk about the best wrap for a cyber truck,
somebody a great suggestion. They actually called my office and
left the suggestion, which I sure appreciated, which was a
bear rap. And there are some really really cool animal
raps if you just look online, which is my new obsession,
and just some amazing art you can do with these
(30:10):
car raps.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
But I think you'd have to do it just right.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
I've been looking at some of the Quantum you know,
they were on the show yesterday looking at some of
these patriotic raps, and some of them like you saw
the one with the bright American flag and then the
picture of Trump rising up against the assassin and Butler.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
But they have some very subtle.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Versions out there where you'll have what looks like just
this really nice colored car, but then there's this subtle
imprint of the American flag and maybe of the Declaration.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Of Independence something like that.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
That's really cool, Dan, Take a look at all the
Democrat terrorists now that they're burning other Democrats Tesla's because
they don't like Elon Musk. Yeah, and I don't think
America big fans of that right now. And that's why
I'd be very interesting to see the president's approval. Don't
(31:02):
be surprised if it's higher than you would expect given
the Democrat Party slash media driven panic and gloom and
doom effort right now across the country, which is obviously
having an effect on the market, which I believe will
be a very short term and is kind of ludicrous, Dan,
(31:23):
And some of these are just too long, my apologies.
This is intriguing, Dan, Rich is when you have a
five car garage and your Ferrari still sits out in
the rain. This goes back to a conversation where having
earlier and my mom was so incredibly wise, and one
of the things she said early to us is the
key to happiness is understanding the right definition of wealth.
(31:46):
And she's so right about that right and just absolutely brilliant,
because those who define it as money, how many of
those actually end up happy? I would think that's a
pretty small number. So I suggest this text was a
tongue in cheek. What do you think, crying, Dan, Democrats
are in favor of drag shows for children, body mutilation,
(32:08):
and pornographic books.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Democrats are sex perverts, you know, Big.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Win today we had them on this start the show,
Dan Snoberger U superintendent of Elizabeth School District, and they've
been on the show this week reading excerpts from these
really awful books they want off their shelves. Acl us
suing to put them on the shelf. Big win today
in the tense circuit Court of Appeals which issued a
stay of the trial court's order and has said no,
(32:34):
these these books do not have to be put on
the shelves at this point in the litigation.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
And as we often see with these very critical.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Pieces of public safety, public interest litigation, you know, it
takes a long fight across multiple levels, and when it
comes to Colorado often you know, all the way to
the US Supreme Court. But so respect Elizabeth for taking
on that fight for their kids and really extension for
all the kids.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
Were you surprised Dan by the Tenth Circuit, which is
all Democrat appointed justices I.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Was not surprised personally.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
I was not surprised because I just don't see and
if you're new to the issue, we don't have time
to really detail it here. But basically, there are these
books excerpts are read on air, just horrifically obscene stuff,
some of it blatantly dangerous, you know, a book just
talking about different ways to commit suicide. And I just
don't see the winning argument of the ACLU as to
(33:31):
why a school should have to keep those.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
On the shelves.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
So I was not surprised, and hopefully this bodes well
for the next steps.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
They're floating it.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
Mister Snowberger said, under the guise of it's an LGBTQ
author or it's a black author, and if you shut
it down then you're discriminated.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Yeah, but if you're going to win that case, you
have to be able to show that similar books written
by say Caucasians.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Yeah, sure are on the shelves.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
And that's something we covered in the discussions on the
show this week. They tell us there aren't, and I'm
sure they aren't correct. Yeah, So how does the ACOU
win that case? So I know, Yeah, I honestly was
not surprised the tenth Circuits stepped in and was glad
to see they did and hopefully that bodes well. Hey,
you have a tremendous weekend, my friend, the sun will
(34:19):
be out tomorrow. That will look and feel so good.
And Kelly, you're gonna have a very very cold husband
and daughter. Tonight they bravely went out to the Rockies opener.
That's a tough ombres there, and a tough ombre. But
enjoy the weekend.
