WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.520 This is Dan Kaplis and welcome to today's online podcast 2 00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:05.759 edition of The Dan Kaplis Show. Please be sure to 3 00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:08.240 give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind, 4 00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:11.599 and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every 5 00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:14.240 single day on your favorite podcast platform. 6 00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:17.320 Oh, that was the American way on full display today. 7 00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:20.079 Truly one of the most extraordinary days in the history 8 00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:23.920 of the American presidency and a profoundly. 9 00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:25.039 Important day for the world. 10 00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:28.440 And hey, coming into today, I did not see that 11 00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:30.480 one coming, right. I mean, we had planned to talk 12 00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:33.719 about the President meeting with Selensky, getting the mineral rights 13 00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:37.280 deal done, et cetera. But what we saw on fold 14 00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:41.759 today is going to shape events for many many years 15 00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:44.520 to come, and shape them in a very positive way 16 00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:47.119 in ways far beyond I think what's being talked about 17 00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:49.679 right now. So looking forward to getting into that with you. 18 00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:52.640 Three or three seven, one, three eight, two, five five 19 00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:56.079 the number you can text us d An five seven, 20 00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:59.159 seven three nine. Of course, today's sound is king and 21 00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:01.520 we have a lot of sound to play for you 22 00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:04.640 from what unfolded in the Oval Office. If by now 23 00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:07.359 I'm sure you've seen some clips, you've heard some sound. 24 00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:09.640 Hopefully heard Ryan Schuling's great show if you're in the 25 00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:12.799 Denver market, he does it two to four every afternoon. 26 00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:16.840 What I did once I saw this story unfolding is 27 00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:22.120 I went back and I watched the entire Oval Office session, 28 00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:25.560 because most of these clips come from about ten minutes 29 00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:28.280 worth of action at the end, and believe me, every 30 00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:30.120 minute of it is worth it. Two you, and one 31 00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:31.599 thing we're going to do at some point in the 32 00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:34.719 show today, hopefully earlier and later, is we're going to 33 00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:37.760 play you the full ten minutes uninterrupted, which is a 34 00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:40.519 little challenging given our clock, but we're going to do 35 00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:45.439 that because there's something about watching it just unfold in hole. 36 00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:48.280 But I watched the entire I think it was about 37 00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:52.079 fifty five minutes of Zelenski and Trump in the Oval Office, 38 00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.280 and there was so much in there that's important. It 39 00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:59.000 helps explain what came at the end. But anxious to 40 00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.719 get your take and give you mine. Three or three 41 00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:04.040 someone three A two five five of the number text 42 00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:06.760 d A N five seven seven three nine if you 43 00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:10.240 have no interest in this life changing event today, truly 44 00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:15.639 unprecedented in the history of the American presidency. Then some 45 00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:20.000 local news of note it looks like Michael Bennett, Senator 46 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.120 Bellow is thinking about running for governor. I assume, from 47 00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:26.439 the fact his staff leaked the story to Ernest Learning, 48 00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:31.240 very respected political reporter, expect at this point that Bennett 49 00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:34.000 is probably getting into the race. So we'll talk about 50 00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:36.560 that later. Raises a lot of interesting questions. What's the 51 00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:38.560 play here? So you're going to leave early and then 52 00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:41.479 Paulus points himself to his seat or appoints somebody else. 53 00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:43.960 But that will have to wait for another day because 54 00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:46.840 what happened today is going to, I think, have such 55 00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:51.000 a dramatic impact on the world right now. It's going 56 00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:54.280 to have a dramatic impact on the Republican Party nationally. 57 00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:57.360 Whether it carries over to Colorado, I don't think anybody 58 00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.759 can tell at this point. But let's start with some 59 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:03.319 of the key sound. If you've heard it already, then 60 00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:05.240 you want to hear it again. If you haven't heard it, 61 00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:07.400 you really do need to hear it. 62 00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:10.080 And I play this just for kind of funny background. 63 00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:13.120 This is a cut one, uh, President Trump having a 64 00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:17.280 little fun with President Soelenski's appearance when Selensky showed up 65 00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:24.400 at the White House today. 66 00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:30.960 Yes, he's all dressed up today. 67 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:34.479 Yeah, so President Zelensky had showed up rather than in 68 00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:36.439 the T shirt, it looked like a similar garb but 69 00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:37.520 kind of a black sweater. 70 00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:39.159 I know some people have an issue with that. 71 00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:42.240 I've never had an issue at all with Selensky deciding 72 00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:45.199 to not wear a suit while his country is at 73 00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:46.800 war and in a combat mode. 74 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:48.960 I get the point. I don't think it's disrespectful. 75 00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:52.199 And I thought the questioner of Zelensky on that today 76 00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:56.240 was disrespectful and that was out of place. Overall, I 77 00:03:56.680 --> 00:04:01.159 thought that Selensky went way over the line, and Zelensky 78 00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:07.159 was extraordinarily bizarrely disrespectful to Trump in a way that 79 00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:10.240 he had to know could not serve his people well. 80 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:12.960 Which is really sad because you. 81 00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:15.719 Know, in my short lifetime, you know, outside of our 82 00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:20.120 amazing American armed forces, it's very hard to point to 83 00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:23.000 people around the world. You'd have to put, you know, 84 00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:26.720 the Ukrainians right up there with the Israelis, obviously with 85 00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:32.240 the Americans, etc. In terms of their ability and willingness 86 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.279 to fight bravely to the end. So the Ukrainian people 87 00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:38.160 have been among the elite in the world, you know, 88 00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:41.319 as fighters, and they deserve everybody's admiration. And one thing 89 00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:45.319 that's getting missed here is President Trump in the earlier 90 00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:47.839 stages of that fifty five minute meeting, the ones that 91 00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.800 aren't getting much press, you know, he went out of 92 00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:53.680 his way to praise the bravery and courage. 93 00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:55.040 Of the Ukrainian people. 94 00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.920 He was extremely polite that way, which made it even 95 00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:02.759 more bizarre that Selensa he then decides to do the 96 00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:06.120 unthinkable and really self destruct because he went out of 97 00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:08.079 his way. When you watch the whole fifty five minutes, 98 00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:13.160 Selensky went out of his way several times to try 99 00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:18.720 to directly criticize Trump and contradict Trump and take Trump bonds. 100 00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:21.720 So as we start to get into the more complete sound, 101 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:23.480 one of the things I think we have to keep 102 00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:27.560 in mind is the very real possibility that Zelensky came 103 00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:33.639 into that meeting intending to resign the presidency before this 104 00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:35.879 peace deal is signed. It may very well be that 105 00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:39.519 Selensky had decided that he was not willing to sign 106 00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:43.639 a peace deal which would give Ukrainian territory to Russia, 107 00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:47.360 and that he was going to resign before that deal 108 00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:49.639 was entered into, and that he was going to use 109 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:52.160 this stage today to go after Trump and to go 110 00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:52.759 after JD. 111 00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:53.199 Vance. 112 00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:56.000 Because one thing that really struck me as I watched 113 00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:59.160 the whole thing is Zelensky appeared to me he planned 114 00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:03.319 it looking to go after Vance and then he's addressing 115 00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:07.519 Vance as JD and addressing Vance in a very condescending 116 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:11.480 kind of way. So that appeared as I watched it unfold, 117 00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:15.160 very pre planned. So don't be surprised if that's the 118 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:19.560 ultimate play that Selenski wanted to go out today taking 119 00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:22.639 shots at Trump and JD. Vance, which is really twisted 120 00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:25.079 when you think about it, because it's Europe, as I've 121 00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:27.879 been saying for many months on this show, it's Europe 122 00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:32.560 that abandoned Ukraine, and everybody should be upset that raw evil, 123 00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:35.560 I mean, he's satan. Putin is satan. That raw evil 124 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:38.079 is going to win here to a certain extent and 125 00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:40.800 is going to get territory when Putin in fact, should 126 00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:44.279 be tried on war crimes and imprisoned for the rest 127 00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.120 of his life. So it's sick that Putin's going to 128 00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:50.480 gain anything here. But don't blame Trump. Trump's playing the 129 00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:54.000 hero here by ending the bloodshed. The reason that Putin 130 00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:58.360 satan on Earth is going to win here is because 131 00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:02.079 of Europe, because Europe would not stand up for Ukraine. 132 00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:04.959 And as I said in the very beginning, it was 133 00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:08.319 obvious the only way that Ukraine was going to be 134 00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:11.240 able to defeat this evil, no matter how valiantly it fought, 135 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:14.360 and it has and it still is, was for Europe 136 00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:17.120 to prove it was willing to put boots on the ground. 137 00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:19.839 And Europe made it very clear early on that it 138 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:24.199 would not. And so what do we have, As somebody commented, 139 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:28.600 you know, Ukraine needed warriors and it got cheerleaders from Europe. 140 00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:32.199 So this was Europe's chance to stand up and protect 141 00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:35.680 its continent from the evil in Putin. Europe was unwilling 142 00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:38.120 to do it. That's why Putin is going to gain 143 00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:41.040 in this agreement. But do not blame Trump. None of 144 00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:44.920 this is Trump's fault. So when Zelenski today tried to 145 00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:50.720 start blaming Trump, tried to start lumping Trump in with 146 00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:54.319 Obama and Biden, because remember Putin didn't go into Ukraine 147 00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:57.480 when Trump was president. No, he went in when Biden 148 00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:01.000 was president. He went in and took Ukraine. Biden was president. 149 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:03.680 He went in and took Ukraine when Obama was president 150 00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:07.639 and he went after Crimea. So it was so intellectually 151 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:12.920 dishonest and bizarrely self destructive for the people of Ukraine. 152 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:17.519 For Zelensky today to try to blame Trump for Crimea, 153 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:25.079 that was weird. And so I'm so impressed with Trump, 154 00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:26.399 so impressed with JD. 155 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:26.800 Vans. 156 00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:30.000 And that's another takeaway from me today, and that is 157 00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:34.519 that Trump did so much to advance world peace today, 158 00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:37.799 not just in Ukraine. That's going to happen right for 159 00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:40.639 the reasons we've discussed, not just in Ukraine but around 160 00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:44.919 the world, because think about the polar opposites. Evil around 161 00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:48.480 the world has been feasting on the Biden presidency because 162 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:51.519 we didn't have a president, and so they've been feasting 163 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:54.120 on that. It was even worse than not having a president. 164 00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:56.440 We had a president who they knew would not fight back. 165 00:08:57.080 --> 00:09:00.799 And so you go from that to Trump, who today 166 00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:04.039 not only took all the right positions, but Trump I 167 00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:09.720 thought was so in control. He had such a range, 168 00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:15.240 he had such a range of emotions, of abilities, of gears. 169 00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:17.279 Was you know, I talk about trial lawyers this way. 170 00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:19.519 I try a lot of cases. You have trial lawyers 171 00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:21.320 who are kind of one trick ponies. You know, they 172 00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:22.960 have one gear, and it may be a great gear, 173 00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:25.519 but they got one gear. And then you've got people 174 00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:28.159 who have multiple gears and they can handle a lot 175 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:32.360 of different scenarios very well. Trump had multiple gears today 176 00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:37.480 in a very demanding situation against a very determined opponent, 177 00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:40.360 and Zelensky made himself Trump's opponent today. Trump didn't make 178 00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:43.639 Zelensky his opponent. And Trump was able to stay cool 179 00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:46.679 when that made sense, he was able to get angry 180 00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:47.720 when that made sense. 181 00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:50.200 He was able to be articulate throughout it. 182 00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:52.960 So if you're one of these many evil leaders around 183 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:55.799 the world, and if you're one of our allies who 184 00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:58.399 runs and hides when they think it's better for them, 185 00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:02.000 you look at Trump today and and you're thinking you 186 00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:04.399 don't want to mess with him. And Jade Vance, by 187 00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:06.440 the way, took a big step I think toward locking 188 00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:09.519 up the nomination for twenty eight. Anyway, we're gonna come back, 189 00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:11.559 dive into the sound and just to get your take. 190 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:14.559 Three or three someone three eight two five five text 191 00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:18.000 d A N five seven seven three nine You're on 192 00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:19.120 the Dan Caplas Show. 193 00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:23.639 And now back to the Dan Kaplass show podcast. 194 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:26.519 I'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to 195 00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:27.840 end the destruction of your country. 196 00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:30.200 Yes, but if you have a president. 197 00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:32.240 With respect, I think it's disrespectful for you to come 198 00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:33.919 into the Oval Office to try to litigate this in 199 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:36.279 front of the American media. Right now, you guys are 200 00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:39.960 going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because 201 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:43.120 you have manpower problems. You should be thanking the president 202 00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:44.639 for every to bring it into this. 203 00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:46.039 Company, let them into Ukraine. 204 00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:48.639 That you say, what problems we have? I have been 205 00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:49.200 to you. 206 00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:52.720 Come on, I have actually I've actually watched and seen 207 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:55.919 the stories and I know what happens is you bring people, 208 00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:59.080 you bring them on a propaganda tour. Mister president, are 209 00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:02.440 do you disagree that you've had problems? What bringing people 210 00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:03.159 in your military? 211 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:03.559 Bro? 212 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:06.039 Do you think that respect alants to come to the 213 00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:08.679 Oval Office in the United States of America and attack 214 00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:12.039 the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of 215 00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:13.120 your kind of a. 216 00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:15.639 Lot of questions, Let's start from the biggest or fist 217 00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:19.879 of all. During the war, everybody has problems, even you. 218 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:23.159 But you have nisos and don't feel now, but you 219 00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:24.120 will feel it. 220 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:28.080 In the issob? What an sob? I'm sorry, listen. 221 00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.799 I have ultimate respect for the Ukrainian people, ultimate respect, 222 00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:36.080 and Putin is satan. But what Zelensky was doing today 223 00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:39.399 had nothing to do with serving the Ukrainian people. This 224 00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:42.120 had to do with serving Zolensky. And I don't know 225 00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:44.720 if he's planning to get out right now, like in 226 00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:48.240 the next week or two or three, But this was 227 00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:53.039 all about Zelensky after the presidency, right, It's all about 228 00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:54.799 when he goes and lives wherever he's going to live 229 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:57.159 in Europe and goes on whatever book tours he goes 230 00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:00.480 in on whatever career he goes into. Next was z 231 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:04.879 Lynsky coming into the Oval Office of the United States 232 00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:08.720 to try to humiliate the president and Vice President in 233 00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:11.879 front of the world, to blank that guy. I'm sorry, 234 00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:14.399 and that has nothing to do with Ukraine. The Ukrainian 235 00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:18.399 people deserve our utmost admiration and the Ukrainian people deserve 236 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:21.240 better than what they're going to end up with here. 237 00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:24.360 But that's the fault of Europe. Europe would not stand 238 00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:27.000 up to Putin and there shouldn't be a single American boot. 239 00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:27.320 On the ground. 240 00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:30.159 Money fine, as long as the money, has a plan 241 00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:33.879 to win, but that's never what Biden was doing. And 242 00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:37.120 so yeah, the people of Ukraine deserve much much better. 243 00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:40.159 But President Trump's being a hero here to stop the killing. 244 00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:43.240 And when you watch the full fifty five minutes of 245 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:45.720 this today, one thing that really jumped out at me 246 00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:49.200 is that that Trump has this sincere concern and he 247 00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:52.120 mentioned the parents of the kids who are dying. You know, 248 00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:55.360 he has a sincere concern for all the parents on 249 00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:59.240 both sides whose children are dying two thousand alone last week. 250 00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:02.360 This is not an equivalence in my mind. You know, 251 00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:06.080 Russia is evil here and Ukraine is the innocent victim 252 00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:07.240 being raped and pillaged. 253 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:09.919 There's not an equivalence. But that's not. 254 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:13.200 Trump's fault, and Trump is in a unique position to 255 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:16.840 try to stop the killing. So what Zelensky today did, 256 00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:19.799 I think was one of the most selfish things I've 257 00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:22.960 ever seen any world leader do, because all he did 258 00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:26.759 was hurt his own people so he could make himself 259 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:29.840 into some big, tough guy for his next career. 260 00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:31.279 That's sick stuff. 261 00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:34.559 But I'll tell you so impressed because you know, you 262 00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:38.039 think about how Trump and Vance performed in that situation. 263 00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:42.720 That's not easy, and they did it extraordinarily well. And 264 00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:44.399 it was great for the United States because if you 265 00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:47.279 had allowed Zelensky or anybody else to come into the 266 00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:51.480 Oval office and attack and in very dishonest ways to 267 00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:55.159 attack our president and vice president and get away with it, 268 00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:59.399 that would have invited so much more war. That would 269 00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:03.679 have that would have undermined peace through strength. But they 270 00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:06.440 were tested today, Trump and Vance, and they passed the 271 00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:09.000 test brilliantly, and the world's going to be better off 272 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:10.879 for it. And the world will be better off when 273 00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:14.879 Zelensky is off the stage, because the Ukrainian people deserve 274 00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.480 so much better than Zelenski. Eight five five or zero 275 00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:21.440 five eight two five five text d A N five 276 00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:24.200 seven seven three nine. Let's get some more of this 277 00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:25.840 hot sounding and then I think what we're going to 278 00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:28.639 try to do. We're going to try to you maybe 279 00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:31.720 the five oh six segment, to play the full minutes 280 00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:34.919 at the end together, because there is so much impact 281 00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:38.200 there that I really want you to hear. So as 282 00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:42.440 Trump jumps in, Trump jumps in, let's go to cut five. 283 00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:45.840 Let me tell you Putin went through a hell of 284 00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:46.440 a lot with me. 285 00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:49.200 He went through a phony witch hunt where they used 286 00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:52.799 him in Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia. You ever hear of 287 00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:53.200 that deal? 288 00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:54.039 There was a phony. 289 00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.960 That was a phony Hunter Biden, Joe Biden scam, Hillary Clinton, 290 00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:03.720 shifty Adam Schiff who was a Democrat scam, and he. 291 00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:05.240 Had to go through that, and he. 292 00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:06.039 Did go through it. 293 00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:08.679 We didn't end up in a war. And he went 294 00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:09.000 through it. 295 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:10.480 He was accused of all that stuff. 296 00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:11.840 He had nothing to do with it. 297 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:15.679 It came out of Hunter Biden's bathroom. He came out 298 00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:21.960 of Hunter Biden's bedroom. It was disgusting. And then they said, oh, oh, 299 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:26.399 the laptop from Hell was made by Russia, the fifty 300 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:29.399 one agents. The whole thing was a scam and he 301 00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:31.320 had to put up with that. He was being accused 302 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:32.240 of all that stuff. 303 00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:36.279 And then Trump goes on with Selensky cut six. Please 304 00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:37.559 r All I can. 305 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:40.720 Say is this, he might have broken deals with Obama 306 00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:44.080 and Bush, and he might have broken them with Biden. 307 00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:45.399 He did maybe maybe he did. 308 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:47.799 I don't know what happened, but he didn't break them 309 00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:48.039 with me. 310 00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:50.240 He wants to make a deal. I don't know if 311 00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:51.080 you can make a deal. 312 00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:55.240 The problem is I've empowered you to be a tough guy, 313 00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:58.480 and I don't think he'd be a tough guy without 314 00:15:58.480 --> 00:15:59.279 the United. 315 00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:02.480 States are very brave. But you're either going to make 316 00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:03.919 a deal or we're out. 317 00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:06.399 And if we're out, you'll fight it out. 318 00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:08.240 I don't think it's gonna be. 319 00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:10.480 Pretty, but you'll fight it out. 320 00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:13.080 But you don't have the cards. But once we. 321 00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:16.360 Sign that deal, you're in a much better position. But 322 00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:18.039 you're not acting at all thankful. 323 00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:20.559 And that's not a nice thing. I'll be honest, that's 324 00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:22.600 not a nice thing. Yeah. 325 00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:25.960 And one of the things that was weaving throughout all 326 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:31.399 of this today is Lynski was publicly insisting that the 327 00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:34.440 US give a security guarantee as part of the mineral 328 00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:37.399 rights deal, meaning hey, we're gonna have US troops, We're 329 00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:40.039 gonna have US troops on the ground in Ukraine. And 330 00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:44.120 Trump was not willing to go there right now. And 331 00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:46.639 so yeah, and then that part, and we'll play it 332 00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:49.919 again in the next segment where's the Lyinsky then starts 333 00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:54.039 lecturing Trump and dvance because Trump says and said today, hey, 334 00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:58.559 we've got this ocean between US and Europe, and so 335 00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:01.799 it's it's you know, NATO, and NATO needs to step up. 336 00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:04.680 The European countries need to step up. And then Selinsky 337 00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:08.359 starts lecturing Trump in dvance on oh, you think you 338 00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:11.319 have your ocean and I'm paraphrasing here, but your ocean 339 00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:13.880 isn't going to protect you, et cetera. And that's when 340 00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:17.160 Trump really jumped in and fired up, as he should have. 341 00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:20.480 So again, what do you think grind My premise is 342 00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:24.759 Selinsky came in today knowing that he is not going 343 00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:27.839 to be president for long, probably intending to never be 344 00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:30.240 the one to sign the peace deal, and that he 345 00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:33.359 was just trying to position himself for his next career 346 00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:37.279 because what he did today was not intended to help 347 00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:39.880 the people of his country, the great people of his country. 348 00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:43.079 Yeah, I have to agree or analysis is sound. It's 349 00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:45.079 the only thing that really explains it, because why else 350 00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:46.920 would he go in there behave the way that he did. 351 00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:49.559 He's on our turf, he's a guest at our White 352 00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:53.119 House with our president, and he kept interrupting President Trump. 353 00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:57.160 It was really beneath the office of President of Ukraine. 354 00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:01.039 And I thought Trump, all things considered, measured himself and 355 00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:03.599 kept this cool rather well, and even when he was 356 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:07.039 ursed with Zolenski. He was very pointed and specific about 357 00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:09.680 what his problems were there, and I just don't know 358 00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:11.880 why Zelensky felt the need to hash all that out 359 00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:13.839 on camera in the public eye. 360 00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:16.839 I think it goes back to my theory that none 361 00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:20.000 of this for Zelensky today was about helping the Ukrainian people. 362 00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:24.240 I think it was about positioning Zolensky on the world stage, 363 00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:29.160 elevating him among Trump haters, elevating him in Europe, at 364 00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:32.640 the cost of the Ukrainian people, And the Ukrainian people 365 00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:36.319 deserve a lot better than that. Three or three someone 366 00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:38.279 three eight, two five five more that sound when we 367 00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:40.680 come back on The Dan Kaplis Show. 368 00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:47.359 You're listening to the Dan Kapliss Show podcast. 369 00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:49.720 What a day literally never. 370 00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:53.839 A day like it an American presidential history, one of 371 00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:57.359 the finest days in American presidential history. And how great 372 00:18:57.440 --> 00:18:59.400 for the American people to be able to see that 373 00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:04.279 on fold and be able to see just how sharp 374 00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:07.720 and strong and adept both Trump and JD. 375 00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:08.680 Vance are. 376 00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:12.079 I think that's going to make the world a safer place, 377 00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:14.559 and I think it's really going to help the GOP 378 00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:17.960 and its candidates, and the other way it's going to help, right, 379 00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:22.039 is that Democrats can't help themselves. So Democrats are already 380 00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:24.599 out there calling this one of the worst things they've 381 00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:28.960 ever seen, which will further distance the Democrats for American people, 382 00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:31.759 because I'll bet you eighty twenty in America, whether they 383 00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:34.279 admit it or not, the American people love this today 384 00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:37.440 in part because guess what, this issue was litigated in 385 00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:41.240 the last campaign. The American people do not want war 386 00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:44.720 in Ukraine. The American people don't want an ongoing war 387 00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:48.359 in Ukraine. Trump ran on that clear contrast with the 388 00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:50.519 Democrats of wanting to bring peace now. 389 00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:53.880 And so yeah, this is a great, great day for 390 00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:54.559 the world. 391 00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:56.680 In many ways, and really good to be able to 392 00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:01.079 see the real Zelenski, which is such a disappointment because 393 00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:02.680 the Ukrainian people. 394 00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:04.160 Deserve so much better. 395 00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:06.920 Three or three someone three eight two five five text 396 00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:09.759 d an five seven seven three nine. Before we go 397 00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:12.200 back to the sound, and I assume you've already heard 398 00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:14.400 some of this since it became big news in a hurry, 399 00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:16.720 but we'll replay a lot and then one thing we're 400 00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:19.359 going to do that you have not had a chance 401 00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:22.599
