Speaker 2: Handling this surprise attack from Zelensky. Here's what I want
Speaker 2: to do, though, I want to go straight to the
Speaker 2: full ten minutes, the really hot ten minutes at the end,
Speaker 2: so you can hear it all together, and I think
Speaker 2: you'll find real value in that. Let's start it now.
Speaker 3: Let's say, Hi, Vladimir, how are we doing on the deal?
Speaker 4: That doesn't work that way.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm not aligned with anybody.
Speaker 3: I'm aligned with the United States of America and for
Speaker 3: the good of the world. I'm alive with the world,
Speaker 3: and I want to get this thing over with. You
Speaker 3: see the hatred he's got for a putin. It's very
Speaker 3: tough for me to make a deal with that kind
Speaker 3: of Hey, he's got tremendous hatred and I understand that.
Speaker 3: But I can tell you the other side is exactly
Speaker 3: in love with you know me. There so the question
Speaker 3: of alignment.
Speaker 4: I have to I'm aligned with the world.
Speaker 3: I want to get the things that I'm aligned with Europe.
Speaker 3: I want to see if we can get this thing done.
Speaker 3: You want me to be tough. I could be tougher
Speaker 3: than any human being you've ever seen.
Speaker 4: I'd be so tough. But you're never going to get
Speaker 4: a deal that way.
Speaker 5: So that's the way it goes.
Speaker 4: One more question, Hey, I would respond to this.
Speaker 6: So look for four years of the United States of America,
Speaker 6: we had a president who stood up at press conferences
Speaker 6: and talked tough about Vladimir Putin, and then Putin invaded
Speaker 6: Ukraine and destroyed a significant chunk of the country. The
Speaker 6: path to peace and the path to prosperity is maybe
Speaker 6: engaging in diplomacy. We tried the pathway of Joe Biden,
Speaker 6: of thumping our chest and pretending that the President of
Speaker 6: the United States's words mattered more than.
Speaker 4: The president of the United States's actions.
Speaker 6: What makes America a good country is America engaging in diplomacy.
Speaker 4: That's what President Trump is doing. Can I ask you sure? Yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 7: So he occupied our big parts of Ukraine, parts of
Speaker 7: East and Crimea. So he occupied it on twenty fourteen.
Speaker 7: So during lots of years. I'm not speaking about just Biden,
Speaker 7: but those times was Obama, then President Obama, then President Trump,
Speaker 7: then President Biden, now President Trump and God bless now
Speaker 7: President Trump will stop him. But during twenty fifteen, nobody
Speaker 7: stopped him. He just occupied and took He killed people.
Speaker 7: You know what the contact twenty fifteen, twenty fourty, So
Speaker 7: would he.
Speaker 2: Kills that here?
Speaker 7: Yeah, but exactly right, yes, But during twenty fourteen till
Speaker 7: twenty twenty two, yeah, what the situation the same that
Speaker 7: people have been dying on the contact line.
Speaker 4: Nobody stopped him.
Speaker 7: You know that we had conversations with him, a lot
Speaker 7: of conversations, my pilateral conversation.
Speaker 4: And we signed with him, me like, can you president?
Speaker 7: In twenty nineteen, I signed with him the deal I
Speaker 7: signed with him. Macron and mer Kill we signed cease fire,
Speaker 7: cease fire. All of them told me that he will
Speaker 7: never go. We signed him with guess contract. Guess contract, yes,
Speaker 7: But after that he broken this is fire. He killed
Speaker 7: a white people and he didn't exchange prisoners.
Speaker 4: We signed the exchange of prisons, but he didn't do it.
Speaker 7: What kind of diplomacy Jgus became about.
Speaker 4: What what do you mean?
Speaker 6: I'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to
Speaker 6: end the destruction of your country. Yes, but if President,
Speaker 6: mister President, with respect, I think it's disrespectful for you
Speaker 6: to come into the Oval Office to try to litigate
Speaker 6: this in front of the American media. Right now, you
Speaker 6: guys are going around and forcing conscripts to the front
Speaker 6: lines because you have manpower problem.
Speaker 4: You should be thanking the president.
Speaker 7: For trying to bring it into this content into Ukraine
Speaker 7: that you say, what problems we have.
Speaker 4: I have been to come long.
Speaker 6: I've actually I've actually watched and seen the stories, and
Speaker 6: I know what happens is you bring people, you bring
Speaker 6: them on a propaganda tour. Mister president, are do you
Speaker 6: disagree that you've had problems like bringing people in your
Speaker 6: military hemp?
Speaker 4: And do you think that respectful as to come to
Speaker 4: the Oval Office of.
Speaker 6: The United States of America and attack the administration that
Speaker 6: is trying to try to prevent the destruction of your country.
Speaker 7: A lot of questions. Let's start from the beginning, Sure
Speaker 7: Hills to Wall during the war, everybody has problems, even you,
Speaker 7: but you have nice otion and don't feel now, but
Speaker 7: you will feel it in diffusion.
Speaker 4: I'm bless you.
Speaker 3: I'm blessed you're not. Don't tell us what we're going
Speaker 3: to feel. We're trying to solve a problem. Don't tell
Speaker 3: us what we're going to feel.
Speaker 4: I'm not telling you because you're in no position to
Speaker 4: dictate that. That's exactly what you're doing. You're in no position.
Speaker 3: Didn't dictate what we're gonna feel. We're gonna feel very good,
Speaker 3: feel influenced. We're gonna feel very good and very strong influence.
Speaker 3: You're right now, not in a very good position. You've
Speaker 3: allowed your sleary to be in a very bad position
Speaker 3: that he's apples to be right about.
Speaker 5: The very beginning of the war. Not in a good position.
Speaker 5: You don't have the cards right now with us. You
Speaker 5: start having.
Speaker 4: Coding right now. You don't your plays on bread.
Speaker 3: You're gambling with your lives, and millions of people see
Speaker 3: you're gambling with world War three. You're gambling with world
Speaker 3: War three. And what you're doing is very disrespectful to
Speaker 3: the country.
Speaker 4: This country. It's back you.
Speaker 3: Far more than a lot of people said they should have.
Speaker 4: Have you said thank you once that meeting, no in
Speaker 4: this entire meeting. You said you went.
Speaker 6: To Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in October. Offer
Speaker 6: some words of appreciation for the United States of America
Speaker 6: and the president who's trying to save your country.
Speaker 7: Please, you're seeing that if you will speak very loudly
Speaker 7: about the war, you're.
Speaker 3: Just not speaking loudly. He's not speaking loudlin. Your country
Speaker 3: is in big trouble. No, no, you've done a lot
Speaker 3: of talking. Your country is in big trouble. I know
Speaker 3: you're not winning. You're not winning this. You have a
Speaker 3: damn good chance. We are okay because of the president.
Speaker 4: We're seeing you know what, countries staying strong. From the
Speaker 4: very beginning of the war. We've been alone and we are.
Speaker 7: Thankle I said, thanks, you haven't been skipping it around.
Speaker 3: He gave you, this stupid president, three hundred and fifty
Speaker 3: billion dollars.
Speaker 2: You will.
Speaker 3: We gave your military equipment. You and you met a
Speaker 3: brave but they had to use our military one of you.
Speaker 4: If you didn't have our military equipment, invited me.
Speaker 3: You didn't have our military equipment, this war would have
Speaker 3: been over in two weeks.
Speaker 4: In three days, I.
Speaker 7: Heard it from putting in three days this is how
Speaker 7: maybe less in two weeks.
Speaker 4: Of course, yeah, it's gonna be a very hard thing
Speaker 4: to do business like this.
Speaker 7: It's gonna tell you to say thank you.
Speaker 6: Except for American except that there are disagreements, and let's
Speaker 6: go litigate those disagreements rather than trying to fight it
Speaker 6: out of the American media when you're wrong.
Speaker 4: We know that you're wrong.
Speaker 3: But you see, I think it's good for the American
Speaker 3: people to see what's going on.
Speaker 2: I think it's very important.
Speaker 4: That's why I kept this going so long. You have
Speaker 4: to be thankful you don't have the car. You're buried there,
Speaker 4: your people.
Speaker 3: That die, tell you you're running low on soldiers. Listen,
Speaker 3: you're running slow in soldiers. It would be a damn goodness.
Speaker 3: And then then you tell.
Speaker 4: Us I don't want to see spire.
Speaker 3: I don't want to see spire.
Speaker 4: I want to go and I wanted this on.
Speaker 3: Look, if you could get a ceasefire right now, I
Speaker 3: tell you you take it. So the bullets stopped flying,
Speaker 3: and your ment stuff courting kills.
Speaker 4: Course, we want to still the war. But they're saying
Speaker 4: you don't want to see you.
Speaker 3: I want to see spire because you get.
Speaker 4: A ceasefire faster than any great color of people of
Speaker 4: all its final what they think there wasn't so many.
Speaker 3: That wasn't with me. That was with a a guy
Speaker 3: named Biden who is not a smart person.
Speaker 4: But that was your excuse me.
Speaker 3: That was with Obama, who gave you sheets, and I
Speaker 3: gave you javelins. I gave you the javelins to take
Speaker 3: out all those tanks.
Speaker 4: Obama gave you sheets.
Speaker 3: In fact, the statement is Obama gave sheets.
Speaker 4: And Trump gave javelins. You got to be more.
Speaker 3: Thankful because let me tell you, you.
Speaker 2: Don't have the cards.
Speaker 3: With us, you have the cards, but without us, you
Speaker 3: don't have any cards.
Speaker 2: To hear that full student, the attitudes have to change.
Speaker 3: Breaks the.
Speaker 4: What are you saying? She's asking? What if Russia breaks
Speaker 4: the ceasefire?
Speaker 3: What if they what if anything? What if thebamb drops
Speaker 3: on your head right now? Okay?
Speaker 8: What if they broke it?
Speaker 3: I don't know they broke it with Biden because Biden
Speaker 3: they didn't respect him. They didn't respect Obama.
Speaker 4: They respect me.
Speaker 3: Let me tell you, Putin went through a hell of
Speaker 3: a lot with me. He went through a phony witch hunt.
Speaker 2: We've got that clip. We'll come back to that after
Speaker 2: the break. Thank you Ryan for playing at full ten.
Speaker 9: And I think real quickly because the listeners couldn't see it,
Speaker 9: but I just did what Trump just said.
Speaker 10: What you just heard.
Speaker 9: They didn't respect Biden, they don't respect Obama, they respect me.
Speaker 9: Even Zelensky in that moment his facial expression he kind
Speaker 9: of went, well, yeah, he's got.
Speaker 10: A point yep.
Speaker 2: He nodded his head and and thinks, you know, I
Speaker 2: think it. What you could really hear when you're strung
Speaker 2: the ten minutes together is this all went off the
Speaker 2: rails when Zelensky attacked JD. Vance. I mean, Zelensky was
Speaker 2: looking to go after Vance. But if you watch the
Speaker 2: full fifty five minutes, which I'll try to post on
Speaker 2: my ex account, you can see that Selensky several times
Speaker 2: earlier in the fifty five minutes was criticizing tru I'm
Speaker 2: contradicting Trump, and Zelensky was wrong when he did etc.
Speaker 2: And Trump was very patient with him. And then Zelensky
Speaker 2: clearly had a plan and then he goes fans and
Speaker 2: that's when it escalates in that last ten minutes. But
Speaker 2: I want to come back get your take on that.
Speaker 2: I know we have a lot of calls and text.
Speaker 2: Grateful for that. You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 10: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 2: Truly unprecedented in the history of the American presidency what
Speaker 2: we saw today in the Oval Office, and it is
Speaker 2: a great thing. It's a great thing for world peace
Speaker 2: because every enemy of civilization has to be very afraid
Speaker 2: of President Trump after watching his ability today which was
Speaker 2: truly outstanding to deal with this surprise attack from Zelensky
Speaker 2: and then JD Vance as well. And so I think
Speaker 2: a great day for the presidency, a great day for
Speaker 2: world peace, a great day for the Republican Party. And
Speaker 2: so now we take some folks who disagree with us.
Speaker 2: I hope there'll be a mix three or three someone
Speaker 2: three eight two five five text d A N five
Speaker 2: seven seven three nine. If you just joined us, thank you.
Speaker 2: We just played the full ten minutes as a whole
Speaker 2: where it really got hot at the end. The entire
Speaker 2: session was about fifty five minutes, well worth a watch.
Speaker 2: Let's go to the phone lines. Let's start with Mike
Speaker 2: and Fort Collins. You're on the Dan Kaplis Show.
Speaker 8: Welcome, Hi Dan, thanks for having me. I'm sure I
Speaker 8: was wanting to circle back to your the conversation you
Speaker 8: had of the kind of character assessment of Zelenski, and
Speaker 8: one of the examples that you put on the table
Speaker 8: was that he did a Vogue shoot, right, and therefore
Speaker 8: that you know, the kind of indication that he might
Speaker 8: be someone to put himself above the greater good or
Speaker 8: I can't remember how you worded it exactly. Am I
Speaker 8: being there to say.
Speaker 2: That, oh, you're not trying to be unfair, but I
Speaker 2: was more thoroughly. But go ahead, my friend, please with
Speaker 2: your point.
Speaker 8: Well, I'm just going to bring up a slightly current
Speaker 8: event but slightly off topic. Would you tell me what
Speaker 8: you think frump strategic move or was it a vanity
Speaker 8: move when he posted a video of a gold statue
Speaker 8: of himself in Gaza where there's probably currently limbless children
Speaker 8: walking around and fresh blood on the ground. Do you
Speaker 8: think that that was a vanity move or do you
Speaker 8: think there was like a strategic move there?
Speaker 2: No, I think it was Thank you for the good question.
Speaker 2: I think it was a very strategic move because all
Speaker 2: of those children with the broken limbs and blood, and
Speaker 2: I'm sure that your heart breaks as much for the
Speaker 2: children of Israel who were put into ovens and dismember
Speaker 2: before their parents' eyes, et cetera. But Trump is not
Speaker 2: responsible for any of those deaths. If he had been
Speaker 2: in office, none of those deaths would have happened. October
Speaker 2: seven would not have happened. So Trump's point, which is,
Speaker 2: look at what we need fresh thought here, you know,
Speaker 2: we need to look at something fresh for Gaza that's brilliant,
Speaker 2: and that is a common trait among history's greatest figures.
Speaker 2: Now that doesn't mean you're going to end up with
Speaker 2: a Trump Gaza. But Trump has always been very creative
Speaker 2: in capturing people's attention and getting them to think about
Speaker 2: things differently. That's what that was. Getting back to Zelensky
Speaker 2: and the Vogue shoot, my guess is you cannot justify
Speaker 2: Violinsky Zelensky posing for a Vogue shoot just a few
Speaker 2: months into the war. My only point is, and I
Speaker 2: have praised Zolensky in the past when he's deserved it,
Speaker 2: And I've said repeatedly Putin is Satan on Earth. And
Speaker 2: Putin invaded a sovereign country, he raped it, he pillaged it.
Speaker 2: He doesn't deserve to get a single inch of land
Speaker 2: but he will. But it's not because of Trump. Trump's
Speaker 2: a hero stopping the bleeding. It's because of Biden, and
Speaker 2: it's because of the European leader abandoned Ukraine by refusing
Speaker 2: to put boots on the ground. Know, all I'm saying is, listen, Zolensky.
Speaker 2: He has an ego. He's a young man, he's a
Speaker 2: former performer. I think what you saw today was a
Speaker 2: performance calculated, deliberate at the expense of the people of Ukraine.
Speaker 2: Zelensky is looking at his next twenty or thirty years
Speaker 2: on the European stage, and he wants to go out
Speaker 2: as the guy who came into the Oval office and
Speaker 2: took on Trump, no matter how badly it hurts the
Speaker 2: Ukrainian people. I think that's what we saw today.
Speaker 8: So you're just to kind of summarize all that stuff
Speaker 8: he just said. Is you think that Trump posting a
Speaker 8: video of himself with a gold shrine and a current
Speaker 8: blood spat with this brilliant, strategic what kind of funny
Speaker 8: joke or no? And then you don't need.
Speaker 2: To summarize it. I summarized it. I summarized it.
Speaker 8: It is Trump without your summary was twelve times longer
Speaker 8: than my question. I don't think that's a summary.
Speaker 2: I think, well it was a great It was a
Speaker 2: great summary to a fair question. No, the point is
Speaker 2: that Trump is not responsible for the death in Gaza.
Speaker 2: If Trump was in office October seventh, never happens, And
Speaker 2: the people of Israel had a right to defend themselves
Speaker 2: when they went into Gaza. The horrific death of innocence
Speaker 2: in Gaza is on Hamas, it's not on Israel, and
Speaker 2: it's not on Trump. Again that Trump is trying to
Speaker 2: get people to take a fresh look at what can
Speaker 2: be done in Gaza, and so sometimes he uses humor,
Speaker 2: which has been very effective.
Speaker 8: So you think that that's that really landed, and you
Speaker 8: think that was a pretty funny thing to kind of
Speaker 8: summarize all the rape and suffering that happened recently. There
Speaker 8: annoying it dunk joke.
Speaker 2: No, you've got to think I'm an idiot. No. I
Speaker 2: thought it was funny because it was a funny way
Speaker 2: to get people to think about something fresh in Gaza.
Speaker 2: And I haven't heard you once talk about the children
Speaker 2: of Israel put in ovens, or the children of Israel
Speaker 2: dismembered before their parents. I haven't heard a word from
Speaker 2: you on that, not a single word, So don't try
Speaker 2: to twist my words. I'm talking very precisely and clearly.
Speaker 2: So where is your sympathy, where's your sympathy for the people.
Speaker 2: I want to hear it. I want to hear it.
Speaker 2: Tell me Hamas butchered children, Hamas is evil, Hamas is Satan.
Speaker 8: Say those words Hamas is evil. Well, I can't talk
Speaker 8: when you're kind of ranting.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm not saying I'm not saying a word. So
Speaker 2: go ahead, say the words, Hamas is evil, Hamas is satan.
Speaker 2: This is all Hamas's fault.
Speaker 8: Amasa is evil, Hamas is Satan. This is all Hamasa's fault.
Speaker 2: Praise the Lord, God, Praise the Lord. We had a
Speaker 2: kumbay A moment, my friend. Let's just take the.
Speaker 8: Ever disagree with you. You just assume that we disagree with
Speaker 8: each other, because that's like your free program to just
Speaker 8: make your slam dunk talking point. And it's not worry
Speaker 8: to joke about it by putting up a gold shrine
Speaker 8: on a it's not a funny thing to joke about it.
Speaker 2: I disagree, I disagree. He was not joking about dead
Speaker 2: children or anything. Else, he's a guy trying to find
Speaker 2: a solution. Who did you vote for in the last election.
Speaker 8: I don't think that's related to this.
Speaker 2: Okay, So yes it is, because obviously you're so biased
Speaker 2: against Trump that you can't be fair to him.
Speaker 8: Have you ever voted file public consistency? What if LEI
Speaker 8: was making a joke, which that I can come up
Speaker 8: with a million times more of a charitable interpretation of
Speaker 8: what he means?
Speaker 2: My brother? Please tell this audience, Tell this audience. So
Speaker 2: your theory is Zelensky was making a joke today, I
Speaker 2: didn't think so. Hey, thanks for the call. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: you go back and read it. Nothing joking about it. Hey,
Speaker 2: appreciate the call. I hope you call us every day.
Speaker 2: When we come back, we'll play more of this really
Speaker 2: historic sound today and start to talk about the fallout
Speaker 2: and who's running for governor in Colorado. I think you'll
Speaker 2: be really surprised to hear it. You're on the Dan
Speaker 2: Caplis Show.
Speaker 10: You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 4: You don't know that God bless You're not blessed.
Speaker 3: You know, you gotta don't tell us what we're gonna feel.
Speaker 3: We're trying to solve a problem. Don't tell us what
Speaker 3: we're going to feel. I'm not telling you because you're
Speaker 3: in no position to dictate that.
Speaker 4: Remember this, you're in.
Speaker 3: No position to dictate what we're going to feel.
Speaker 4: We're going to feel very good, feel influenced.
Speaker 3: We're gonna feel very good and very strong will feel
Speaker 3: the influenced. You're right now not in a very good position.
Speaker 5: You've allowed you to be in a beginning that he's
Speaker 5: happened to be right about from the very beginning of
Speaker 5: the war.
Speaker 4: We're not in a good position. You don't have the
Speaker 4: cards right now with us. You start having going cards
Speaker 4: right now. You don't wear your play.
Speaker 3: You're gambling with the lives of millions of people. See,
Speaker 3: you're gambling with world War three. You're gambling with World
Speaker 3: War three. And what you're doing is very disrespectful to
Speaker 3: the country. This country exactly to you, far more than
Speaker 3: a lot of people said where they should have.
Speaker 2: Boy, I'm so glad Trump did that, and we played
Speaker 2: much more of the sound earlier. But that was in
Speaker 2: response to Zelenski mocking Trump, who had said several times
Speaker 2: in the meeting, the wait a second, there's an ocean
Speaker 2: between us and them. Europe should be helping you more.
Speaker 2: And boy, I'm so glad that Trump did that, and
Speaker 2: we've had a lot more to say about it today.
Speaker 2: Before I go to the jam phone lines, I want
Speaker 2: to get to this text among many, It says Dan
Speaker 2: speaking of children. I've been hearing about thousands of Ukrainian
Speaker 2: children being kidnapped and taken to Russia. Yes, another example
Speaker 2: of how Putin is satan. Putin is wraw evil. Putin
Speaker 2: shouldn't get a single inch of Ukrainian territory. Putin should
Speaker 2: be tried on war crimes and probably executed. And so
Speaker 2: it's sick he's going to get any additional land. But
Speaker 2: that's not Trump's fault. Trump's being the hero here. Putin
Speaker 2: wouldn't have gone in if Trump was president. The reason
Speaker 2: that Putin is going to have a victory here, which
Speaker 2: is sick, is because Europe refused back Ukraine. The only
Speaker 2: way Ukraine could have been fully saved was for Europe
Speaker 2: to put boots on the ground, and Europe refused to
Speaker 2: do it. Let's go to the phone lines. Let's go
Speaker 2: to uh. How about Justin and Littleton is held the
Speaker 2: longest you're on the Dan Kapitla Show, Welcome back, Justin, Hey.
Speaker 11: Dan, I forgot about me. So what I was saying
Speaker 11: with Zelenski is not, you know, the bad guy everybody
Speaker 11: thinks he is, that he handle it right. I don't
Speaker 11: think so. I liked Trump probably before you did. I
Speaker 11: liked him before even he declared in twenty fifteen. So
Speaker 11: I'm not going from that side, I think, and I hope.
Speaker 11: Let me ask you, this is Trump playing seventy chefs.
Speaker 11: I sure hope he is, because it's on Putin's terms
Speaker 11: or in right, either Europe goes in boots on the
Speaker 11: ground to give him the fighter playing, or it's on
Speaker 11: puon SERMs. No, So is he kind of making Lenski
Speaker 11: the bad guy a little bit?
Speaker 2: No, my friend, No, no, my friend, all good questions,
Speaker 2: but no, it's not so d chess that this is
Speaker 2: just one dimensional. It's very clear where this is headed.
Speaker 2: Once you're made it clear it would not back Ukraine
Speaker 2: at that point Putin was going to win. It's as
Speaker 2: simple as it gets. Trump's just trying to, as he
Speaker 2: said repeatedly today, save these young lives. So no, and
Speaker 2: your assumption, and I understand why you say it. Your
Speaker 2: assumption that Putin's going to get everything on his terms. No,
Speaker 2: And the reason that's not going to happen is because
Speaker 2: Trump wants his success Trump. Trump wants some kind of
Speaker 2: resolution here that's going to look like a good resolution
Speaker 2: to the world. And if Putin just comes in and
Speaker 2: gets everything Putin wants, then Trump doesn't look good. And besides,
Speaker 2: I think Trump is a fair person who wants a
Speaker 2: fair outcome. Now, a truly fair outcome would be Putin
Speaker 2: convicted of war crimes and executed in terms of this deal. No,
Speaker 2: Trump's not going to want to look like a patsy
Speaker 2: with Putin getting everything he wants, all.
Speaker 11: Right, So I agree. And at this point, what they've
Speaker 11: lost a million people, Russia has four or five thousand tanks.
Speaker 11: They could have made a little bit if they want to,
Speaker 11: you know, never less, you know.
Speaker 2: Justin, we're having a problem with your phone line. I'll
Speaker 2: have to bail. Not because of you, thank you for
Speaker 2: your great call, just a problem with your phone line.
Speaker 2: And listen that the anger you sense for me right now,
Speaker 2: it is anger at two things, and righteous anger on
Speaker 2: two different fronts. One is at Putin because he is evil,
Speaker 2: he's raw evil, and the fact that he's going to
Speaker 2: get a deal that is a victory for him makes
Speaker 2: me sick. But it's not Trump's fault. Trump's being a hero,
Speaker 2: and I'm angry. I'm angry at Zelensky, who I praised before,
Speaker 2: but Selensky today for his own personal reasons, his own
Speaker 2: future career, sold out the people of Ukraine in attack
Speaker 2: Donald Trump and JD Vance in the Oval Office in
Speaker 2: an obviously premeditated way, and that makes me really angry.
Speaker 2: The people of Ukraine have fought very bravely. They deserve better.
Speaker 2: Let's go to Dean in Arvada. You're on the dan Kaplas.
Speaker 2: She'll welcome.
Speaker 12: Hey, Dan, just want to let you know I'm in
Speaker 12: the Ukraine back twenty years ago alignement. My wife's Ukrainian,
Speaker 12: so she grew up there and we were married six years,
Speaker 12: so I finally met her parents. Blah blah blah. But
Speaker 12: when I was over there, I see how corrupt it
Speaker 12: was at that point I was twenty years ago. People
Speaker 12: were knocking on doors with ak's, police were shaking people
Speaker 12: down on the freeway, on the roads. So Lensky played
Speaker 12: Biden like a fiddle. And I don't know what kind
Speaker 12: of dark money deals they made with money laundering. I'm
Speaker 12: not going to say that happened, but from what I've heard,
Speaker 12: Lindsay's going to come out of this a pretty wealthy man.
Speaker 12: For him to sit there in insult Trump in vance
Speaker 12: in the White House, that's pretty pretty low life.
Speaker 11: And we know that he would.
Speaker 12: He was pushing Congress around and he was pushing Biden
Speaker 12: around manipulation. So basically what Trump did today I have
Speaker 12: a big applaud for because guess what, we pulled the
Speaker 12: rug on his money and I shouldn't say American money
Speaker 12: and military. He's got nothing there. You better come back
Speaker 12: to the table crying and begging for mercy because he doesn't.
Speaker 12: You're it's going to have to protect him, and.
Speaker 2: They're not going to do that. I could say, ye,
Speaker 2: appreciate the call, thank you, Dean. Europe's not going to
Speaker 2: do it. And that was the turning point in this
Speaker 2: war early on, is Europe made it clear it wasn't
Speaker 2: going to back Ukraine, as somebody said, Ukraine needed warriors
Speaker 2: from Europe. They got cheerleaders. At that point, Putin knew
Speaker 2: he had it won. Now now Biden and I'll disagree
Speaker 2: with Dean a little bit on this. Biden didn't give
Speaker 2: Selenski everything he wanted. Biden wasted a lot of them
Speaker 2: American money and undermined Ukraine by not in a very tactical, thoughtful,
Speaker 2: timely way getting Ukraine what it needed when it needed it.
Speaker 2: Biden slow rolled things so that Ukraine couldn't get a
Speaker 2: too strong as Biden tried to strike this quote balance
Speaker 2: in his own mind. So Biden wasted a lot of
Speaker 2: American taxpayer money while also undermining Ukraine in his own way.
Speaker 2: And remember it was Biden who was going to hand
Speaker 2: a victory to Putin in the first three days. Biden
Speaker 2: was going to fly Zelensky. Biden wanted to fly Zelenski
Speaker 2: out of Ukraine, offered him that the flight out, and
Speaker 2: Zelensky said no, and I prais Lelensky at the time
Speaker 2: for that. So yeah, but Biden messed this up in
Speaker 2: a bunch of different ways. Trump is just trying to
Speaker 2: end it on the best possible terms for Ukraine because
Speaker 2: the reality is Russia is going to win a long
Speaker 2: term war because Europe won't back Ukraine on the ground,
Speaker 2: and there should not be a single American on the ground.
Speaker 2: Let's go to Mike Duncan, mayor of Johnstown, on the
Speaker 2: Dankapla's Show. How you doing, mister mayor? Doing good?
Speaker 3: Dan?
Speaker 13: How about yourself?
Speaker 2: Good?
Speaker 7: Hey?
Speaker 2: Do you want to hold it till after the break
Speaker 2: so we don't get cut short?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 13: We can or I can just give you a little
Speaker 13: sniff kind of firewall Trump Trump's exchange exchange with X
Speaker 13: with the Zelenski mirrored the nineteen ninety three stream teams dominance.
Speaker 13: You know how we didn't dominate the world stage in basketball.
Speaker 13: I think that kind of set us up to dominate
Speaker 13: the stage and let people know America is back. And
Speaker 13: it's just bringing us back to the stage where America
Speaker 13: should be, you know, because you know, we weren't respected,
Speaker 13: and uh, I think that exchange just kind of set
Speaker 13: the tone that we're not we're not to be messed with,
Speaker 13: and you know, we're here to do the right thing
Speaker 13: for folks. But you know, I think Zelenski kind of
Speaker 13: played his hand there a little bit by kind of
Speaker 13: showing what he was really there for and a debate
Speaker 13: with President Trump on the stage. Yeah, and I think
Speaker 13: lead their strength and then unison, it shows that you
Speaker 13: have a vice president and a president who's on the
Speaker 13: same team. It kind of reminds me of that dream
Speaker 13: team aspect, But everybody kind of came together to kind
Speaker 13: of put America back in the forefront where it should be,
Speaker 13: not in the back seat. No, I appreciate that.
Speaker 2: Thank you, mister Marhor appreciate that. Look forward to the
Speaker 2: next conversation. Yeah, today was a great day for world peace,
Speaker 2: because without a very very strong American president, then evil
Speaker 2: around the globe goes on the march. And Trump today
Speaker 2: not only showed strength, he showed Please to watch the
Speaker 2: full fifty five minutes if you have time this weekend.
Speaker 2: He showed such sharpness. He was very adept, he was quick,
Speaker 2: he had a lot of different gears, he was very measured.
Speaker 2: And then when Zelensky kept going at him and finally
Speaker 2: just laid down the gauntlet and mocked Trump and taunted
Speaker 2: Trump and corrected Trump, Trump had no choice and then
Speaker 2: he handled it perfectly. I think. So a very good
Speaker 2: day for world peace, for respect for America, a good
Speaker 2: day for Republicans, and also because Democrats will now be
Speaker 2: criticizing Trump and most voters will be saying, what what
Speaker 2: you want this war to continue? You're on the dan
Speaker 2: Capla Show.
Speaker 10: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 3: Your country is in big trouble. No, no, he's not
Speaker 3: a lot of talking. Your country is in big trouble.
Speaker 3: I know you're not winning all You're not winning this.
Speaker 3: You have a damn good chance of winning out Okay,
Speaker 3: because of the President.
Speaker 7: We're staying in Yawa country, staying strong. From the very
Speaker 7: beginning of the war, we've been alone and we are thankful.
Speaker 7: I said, thank you. You haven't been the cabinet.
Speaker 3: All and he gave you, through said stupid president, three
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty billion dollars.
Speaker 4: You will. We gave your military equipment.
Speaker 3: You and you've met up braves, but they had to
Speaker 3: use our military one of our If you didn't have
Speaker 3: our military equipment, if you didn't have our military equipment,
Speaker 3: this would have been over in two wee.
Speaker 2: Boy, if you just joined us. I hope you get
Speaker 2: a chance to go back and listen to different parts
Speaker 2: of the show, including the opening where I think I
Speaker 2: nailed what was really going on today and the ten
Speaker 2: second version is I think that Zelensky really let down
Speaker 2: the people of Ukraine today. I think he's looking toward
Speaker 2: the rest of his career outside of Ukraine, and I
Speaker 2: think he wanted to be known as the guy who
Speaker 2: took on Trump in the Oval office. And I think
Speaker 2: it ended very poorly for him in multiple ways, but
Speaker 2: most importantly very poorly for the great people of Ukraine
Speaker 2: who have fought so bravely. And I think we're let
Speaker 2: down by Zelensky today. So I think this if you
Speaker 2: look at the full fifty five minutes, Trump was so
Speaker 2: good with Selenski, but Selensky kept criticizing Trump, contradicting Trump,
Speaker 2: and Selensky clearly was not going to get out of
Speaker 2: there without a fight, and I think that was about
Speaker 2: building his next career in Europe. And how sad for
Speaker 2: the Ukrainian people who have been raped and pillaged by
Speaker 2: one of the most evil people in world history Putin
Speaker 2: and Trump's being a hero. Trump is stopping the bloodshed,
Speaker 2: trying to get the best deal he can. But really
Speaker 2: unfortunate performance by Zelensky today. I think the silver lining
Speaker 2: is that it is tremendous for Trump and JD Vance
Speaker 2: and peace through strength that evil around the world can
Speaker 2: see how tough and sharp Trump is, and I think
Speaker 2: it will be secondarily great for the Republicans politically. Let's
Speaker 2: get to some of our great texts today. And I'm
Speaker 2: going to try to post the full fifty five minutes
Speaker 2: because I think you would find it more interesting if
Speaker 2: you have fifty five minutes this weekend than anything else
Speaker 2: you might watch, because Trump was so good throughout it,
Speaker 2: and Zelensky, like I said, he just kept coming at him,
Speaker 2: some obvious, some subtle, but just kept coming at him
Speaker 2: and then ignited it in the end when he went
Speaker 2: out of his way to go after jd Vance, probably
Speaker 2: thinking he could get away with that major miscalculation. All right, Dan,
Speaker 2: what a blanking blankety blank. You are delusional? How does
Speaker 2: your wife stand you? You know what's interesting? I checked
Speaker 2: out this person's Twitter. They follow one person? Who do
Speaker 2: you think that is?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Literally, they know they followed two people. One of them
Speaker 2: is the Joe Biden archives. So who would follow the
Speaker 2: Joe Biden archives? But thank you and honored.
Speaker 10: Isn't Joe Biden himself an archive?
Speaker 2: Dan, That's that's a great point. That is a great point.
Speaker 2: Let's see. Oh, we have so many here, but so
Speaker 2: many are so long, Dan, Trump is so threatened by
Speaker 2: letting others speak, he just will not allow anything negative
Speaker 2: about Russia to be spoken. He wouldn't let Selensky speak
Speaker 2: the truth. Trump's a coward and a bully. I wish
Speaker 2: you'd call the show Texter, because you're so provably wrong.
Speaker 2: I'd ask you to look at the full fifty five minutes,
Speaker 2: and what you will see is Trump was so patient
Speaker 2: with Zelenski, and Zelensky pulled a stunt that that really
Speaker 2: is not typical for a setting like that, and he
Speaker 2: brought in photos. Now I have no problem with this,
Speaker 2: right because Putin is evil and he has raped and
Speaker 2: pillaged Ukraine. And Zelensky brought photos of Ukrainian military who'd
Speaker 2: been tortured by Russia, and he pulled them out and
Speaker 2: he made Trump look at them in front of everybody. Now,
Speaker 2: I can understand that kind of passion when your soldiers
Speaker 2: are being tortured by by evil, but it's still, you know,
Speaker 2: was something that Trump could have become upset about, but
Speaker 2: he handled with great grace and with great calm. So
Speaker 2: Trump had allowed Zelensky to say everything Zelensky wanted to
Speaker 2: say for what forty six minutes right, and then even
Speaker 2: a couple of shots Zelensky had taken earlier, Trump let
Speaker 2: him slide, but at a certain point Trump wasn't gonna
Speaker 2: take it anymore. And that is a good thing.
Speaker 12: Real quick.
Speaker 10: Dan An update.
Speaker 9: Brett Barehead Vladimir Zelensky on his show tonight, Yeah, and
Speaker 9: asked him, do you think your relationship with President Trump
Speaker 9: after today can be salvage? Zelenski replied, quote, it can be. Yes,
Speaker 9: of course. This is very very important and we are
Speaker 9: thankful and sorry for this.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know, one of the really galling things
Speaker 2: to see is all these European quote leaders now backing Zelensky.
Speaker 2: Wait a second. The reason that evil there is succeeding
Speaker 2: in Ukraine, that Putin is succeeding in Ukraine to the
Speaker 2: extent he is, is because the European leaders abandoned Ukraine.
Speaker 2: Ukraine needed boots on the ground, and they wouldn't give
Speaker 2: it to him. And so Trump is the guy who's
Speaker 2: trying to stop the bleeding. But the Americans get it.
Speaker 2: Americans get it, And so Ryan Monday shifting gears. We're
Speaker 2: going to have a very courageous person with us. She
Speaker 2: is the mother who's fighting to get her young daughter back,
Speaker 2: the fifteen year old who's been targeted by a teacher
Speaker 2: at Columbine when the kid was just fifteen. Very people
Speaker 2: support of home, great student, great athlete over twenty four
Speaker 2: thousand texts, and then people in authority at the school
Speaker 2: signed forms to have the kid declared homeless so she
Speaker 2: could move in with a teacher. That mother will be
Speaker 2: with us on Monday. Please don't miss that. Thank you Ryan,
Speaker 2: Thank you Alexa. Great to have you with us. Alexa,
Speaker 2: join us Monday on the Dan Kaplis Show.
