The American Way 6 00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:18.640 on full display over the weekend. Anxious to get your reaction. 7 00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:21.160 Three oh three seven one three eight two five five 8 00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:24.879 the number text d An five seven seven three nine, Ryan, 9 00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:26.600 I thought you were going to switch that music up 10 00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:28.920 to start the show today. A little Lee Greenwood is 11 00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:31.600 what I expected, but I'm sure that'll be the first 12 00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:33.840 bomb pride, because I think an awful lot of Americans 13 00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:36.840 felt a lot of pride this weekend. I know some 14 00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:40.320 were not happy, but I think probably vast majority, including 15 00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:43.880 many who would not admit it, maybe because of political 16 00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:46.679 affiliation and things are so polarized now, but felt an 17 00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:50.600 awful lot of pride because there is good versus evil 18 00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.759 in this world. Most of human history, all of human 19 00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:57.200 history right, has been an ongoing battle between good and evil. 20 00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.479 And that's what we saw over the weekend. And the 21 00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:05.000 people who flew these American bombers and executed that mission 22 00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:08.560 flawlessly from everything we can tell, there are people that 23 00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:10.599 we should all be proud of, and I think the 24 00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:14.560 vast majority of Americans are the people who built those planes, 25 00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:19.359 the people who put the ordinances together, everybody involved, you know, 26 00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:22.239 I think Americans take a lot of pride in and 27 00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:26.040 the regime that was targeted in a very precise kind 28 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:28.760 of way. But from everything we can tell, effective and 29 00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:32.239 certainly important is evil. I mean, that's just evil on 30 00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:34.000 the face of the earth. There's no difference. And if 31 00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:37.359 there were horns and tails and hoofs and all of that, 32 00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:40.400 that's just Satan on earth. Not the Iranian people, who 33 00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:43.680 you know. I haven't been there, but certainly every Iranian 34 00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:46.120 I've known has been wonderful, and that's what you normally 35 00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:48.760 hear people say. But there is evil in the world, 36 00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:52.719 and that regime is just raw evil. So proud to 37 00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:55.599 be an American, as I've been talking about for weeks, right, 38 00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:57.879 I mean, we are far from out of the woods. 39 00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:01.519 Evil does not go down without a fight. And the 40 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:05.560 thought today that this and performative is the right word 41 00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:09.159 right for what we saw over Qatar, that's performative. But 42 00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:12.759 I don't believe that's the Iranian response I think the 43 00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:16.280 response from this evil regime is going to come in 44 00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:21.560 multiple other ways, with plausible deniability built in. I think 45 00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.000 the actions we're going to see, and I pray I'm wrong, 46 00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:26.240 but I think the actions that at least are being planned, 47 00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:30.120 Let's say, our actions that are going to be designed 48 00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:35.960 to have enough about them to want to cause the 49 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.120 administration and the American people to think they're likely from Iran, 50 00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.039 but with enough separation that it may be difficult to 51 00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:45.479 act on it. I think that's the intent of this 52 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:49.800 evil Iranian regime and their evil allies, right. I mean, 53 00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:52.800 you look around the world, and I know we tend 54 00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:54.919 to focus too much on the bad and not enough 55 00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:58.000 on the good because the bad poses the threat. And 56 00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:00.840 so you know, you look around the world and obviously 57 00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:03.599 you know you've got an ally evil in Iran, has 58 00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:08.599 an ally with evil in Russia, etc. And so access 59 00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:10.560 of evil, right, was the term that I believe Bush 60 00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:13.840 used back in the day, maybe Reagan as well. But yeah, 61 00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:16.840 I don't think this is over with Iran. But I 62 00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:19.800 think President Trump did the right thing, had to do 63 00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:22.319 the right thing. We're fortunate he did the right thing, 64 00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.639 and I think it's going to pay benefits way beyond 65 00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:29.639 what we're focused on right now. Obviously, our great ally 66 00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:33.319 Israel deserves that support, our own nation threatened by an 67 00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:37.639 Iranian nuclear program in a very direct way. But there's 68 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:39.520 going to be as I was talking about last week, 69 00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:43.560 this related benefit in terms of the President's ability to 70 00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:45.840 make peace. And that's what he is. He is a 71 00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:50.000 peace maker and his ima has always been peace through strength, 72 00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:51.960 and he's been very effective with it. But as I 73 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.000 was talking about last week, and you've seen it, right, 74 00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:59.280 he has now had both you know, Putin, and I 75 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.240 do not put Putin and Selenski in the same boat 76 00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.759 at all. I mean, Putin is the evil aggressor Ukraine 77 00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:09.560 is the victim. But both Putin and Zelensky to a 78 00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:13.400 certain extent, have given Trump the middle finger when it 79 00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:17.279 comes to his peacemaking efforts. And again the criticism goes 80 00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:22.480 to Putin, but that's the reality. And so you know, 81 00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:26.480 President Trump had good reason to wonder whether you know, 82 00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:29.199 his peace through strength approach was going to work in 83 00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:34.240 this second term, and people forgotten about Solomany, etc. But 84 00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:39.279 certainly this very necessary action, well executed that the President 85 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.759 commanded over the weekend should help restore some of that 86 00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:45.920 peace through strength leverage, because he is a peacemaker. There's 87 00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:47.759 no doubt about that. You look at his record. It's 88 00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:50.279 been very effective, and I think this will be a 89 00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:52.560 big step in the right direction, but far from the end. 90 00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:55.600 And again I literally pray I'm wrong, but I think 91 00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:59.879 I think the US is going to probably suffer. It'll 92 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:04.560 suffer at tax. Unfortunately, in all likelihood, attacks on the 93 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:08.160 soil very possible with the many How many was it, 94 00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:11.639 I think it was over a thousand right Iranian nationals 95 00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:16.480 who were actually stopped at the southern border, many according 96 00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:18.839 to reports I've seen led into the country anyway. But 97 00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:21.560 for every one of those who had stopped, imagine how 98 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:26.560 many weren't even stopped. So it's it's absolutely necessary to 99 00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:29.399 think right now that there are probably lots of lone 100 00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:32.639 Wolve sleeper sales, Iranian sleeper sales, et cetera in the 101 00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:34.720 United States right now, and to think there are not 102 00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:38.920 going to be any kind of attacks, I think would 103 00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:42.519 be unfortunately unrealistic. Three or three seven, three eight, two 104 00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:46.079 five five text d A N five seven seven three nine. 105 00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:49.920 But again, unequivocally, the president needed to do what he 106 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:53.160 did I'm glad he did what he did. And then 107 00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:56.399 the question is do you want him to do more? 108 00:05:57.519 --> 00:05:59.800 Do you believe do you believe that regime change is 109 00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:03.279 now necessary for this ten successfully? Obviously Mark Levin does. 110 00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:05.720 And I've interviewed Mark many times. They'll try to get 111 00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.920 him on on this, but Mark Levin believes that regime 112 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:12.399 change is necessary, or to paraphrase, all of this is 113 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.560 kind of wasted. Are you in that camp? I am not, 114 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:19.319 but but Mark Levin smart guy, and I've enjoyed my 115 00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:22.120 conversations with him over the years. I'll be anxious to 116 00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:24.800 get his take, so we'll work on getting him on. 117 00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:26.759 But if you're in that camp, would love to hear 118 00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:28.000 from me. I'd love to hear for me, no matter 119 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:31.759 what camp you're in. And as we look forward right now, 120 00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:36.920 but I am optimistic that this GOTSI GOTSI really well executed. 121 00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.279 No leaks, right, Ryan, I mean, and that is a 122 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.240 true test. Even back when there was all that signal chat, 123 00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:46.040 signal app controversy stuff, people could see there was a 124 00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.560 high level of competence in how the administration was executing. 125 00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:53.519 In that case, the attack on the Hohoties and so 126 00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:56.600 so impressed. No leaks there whatsoever, which means they didn't 127 00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:59.920 tell any Democrats, right, must have not told any elected democrats. 128 00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:04.120 I think before Americans were out of Iranian airspace three 129 00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:06.600 h three someone three eight two five five the number 130 00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:09.079 text d A N five seven seven three nine. So 131 00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:12.639 lots to talk about. Lots of hot sound on that 132 00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:16.680 front as well. And do you think this will help 133 00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:18.800 right now? I mean, you know, we've got thirty different 134 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:21.240 things under this umbrella, but one of those I'm really 135 00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:24.480 interested in is whether this will now help, you know, 136 00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:29.560 to negotiate a piece in Ukraine, because once Trump has 137 00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:32.079 that mad dog factor back. And I say that in 138 00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:35.519 the kind of clinical sense, because he is a person 139 00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:38.480 very much in control. I mean, it's like I told 140 00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:41.519 you that story, right. That was at a Corey Gardner 141 00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:44.639 fundraiser and Lindsey Graham was there and he was talking 142 00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:46.279 about this was in the past and not in the 143 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:48.680 current campaign, though it'd be nice to see Corey run 144 00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:52.040 for something, right, But anyway, Lindsey Graham was talking about 145 00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:53.439 how he was riding in the back of the car 146 00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:54.959 with Trump and they were on the way to play 147 00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:58.360 golf and Trump showed him this tweet that he was 148 00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:00.920 about to send out and Lindsey Graham said, oh no, no, no, 149 00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:03.759 you misspelled that word. And Trump said, I know, I 150 00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:07.720 mean he misspelled on purpose. Right, So a president Trump 151 00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:12.920 cultivates this unpredictable, you know, mad dog kind of factor, 152 00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:18.000 which can be extraordinarily effective in deterring evil enemies. But 153 00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.360 I think he's a person very very much in control 154 00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:23.240 and as you can see from the operational security here, 155 00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:26.160 the way it was executed, et cetera. So lots to 156 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:28.360 talk about, anxious to get your take, We'll start with 157 00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.279 calls and text three h three someone three eight two 158 00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:34.720 five five texts d A N five seven seven three nine. 159 00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:36.039 You're on the Dan Kapla Show. 160 00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:40.519 And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast. 161 00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:49.600 Thank you my friend. Dat music. It's amazing right how 162 00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:53.080 it works at the mind, just like transported me back 163 00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:57.480 to how old Joe Bench four years old for four 164 00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:02.120 driving him to his priests and we'd be blaring that song. 165 00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:04.440 After nine to eleven. We'd have those little plastic flags, 166 00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:07.840 remember you'd attached to the window and then roll up 167 00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:10.440 your windows and they'd stay there and we'd be singing 168 00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:12.759 that kind of on a loop. So we drove this 169 00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:17.320 seven or eight minutes to preschool each day. But in 170 00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:19.639 any case, a lot of people very proud should be 171 00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:23.679 of the Americans who executed that mission this weekend and 172 00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:30.759 the administration President Trump just releasing this this tweet. Congratulations 173 00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:33.960 to everyone. It has been fully agreed by and between 174 00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:36.919 Israel and Iran that there will be a complete and 175 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:41.480 total cease fire approximately six hours from now, when Israel 176 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:44.879 and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress 177 00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:48.840 final missions, for twelve hours, at which point the war 178 00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:53.360 will be considered ended officially, Iran will start the ceasefire, 179 00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:56.360 and upon the twelfth hour, Israel will start the ceasefire, 180 00:09:56.799 --> 00:09:59.279 and upon the twenty fourth hour, an official end to 181 00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:02.519 the twelve day war will be saluted by the world. 182 00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:05.960 During each cease fire, the other side will remain peaceful 183 00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:10.200 and respectful on the assumption that everything works as it should, 184 00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:13.759 which it will. I would like to congratulate both countries, 185 00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:17.279 Israel and Iran, on having the stamina, courage, and intelligence 186 00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:20.000 to end what should be called the Twelve Day War. 187 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:22.480 This is a war that could have gone on for 188 00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:25.559 years and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn't 189 00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:29.559 and never will God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God 190 00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:32.759 bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, 191 00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:36.919 and God bless the world. Donald J. Trump, President of 192 00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:42.559 the United States of America. So that just from the President, 193 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.039 good news. I think what you can read into that, right, 194 00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:50.320 is that with American help over the weekend, Israel, which 195 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:56.440 has operated magnificently throughout this entire mission, that Israel has 196 00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:59.440 accomplished enough to end it at this point, right, because 197 00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:03.120 Israel is total dominance, total dominance of the air, total 198 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:07.519 dominance of this war. And so that's that's what I 199 00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:10.559 take from this. And great job, great job by Israel, 200 00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:15.519 tremendous job by the United States coordinating with Israel to 201 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.120 do the certain things over the weekend that only the 202 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:21.960 US could do. And you know, mission accomplished. For now. 203 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:25.360 This this is never going to end, right as long 204 00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:29.080 as these evil iatolas and mula's are in power. But 205 00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:33.720 for now, you know, an awful lot has been accomplished. 206 00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:35.879 Three or three seven one three eight two five five 207 00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.879 text d A N five seven seven three nine. So 208 00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:42.919 first question I ask myself, and then we'll go to 209 00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:46.840 the phone lines, is does this change for me the analysis, 210 00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:50.480 the somber unfortunate analysis. I started the show with that 211 00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:54.679 we will see Iran hit back, and we'll see it 212 00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:57.919 in such a way that there's quote plausible deniability, but 213 00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:01.360 the Iatolas will want Trump to know, want Trump to 214 00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:03.240 think it was them, but not have enough to go 215 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.360 on in terms of punishing around for it. I still 216 00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:09.720 do believe that's going to happen, and I believe that's 217 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:12.720 going to happen because of the evil nature of the regime. 218 00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:15.399 But let's hope I'm wrong. Let's hope I'm wrong. Three 219 00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:17.480 out three seven three eight two five five text d 220 00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:21.720 A N five seven seven three nine. No more appropriate 221 00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:26.399 place to start the conversation this afternoon than Loveland, Colorado, 222 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:31.679 because the President's tweet announcing the ceasefire certainly full of love. Chris, 223 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:33.399 You're on the Dane capitalis so welcome. 224 00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:35.600 Hey Dan, how are you doing, sir? 225 00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:37.600 Live in the dream, my friend? How about you? 226 00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:41.039 Same thing? Great place to live in my friend. 227 00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:44.480 Marriage is awesome. Yeah, well that is for sure, and 228 00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:45.720 Loveland's pretty darn could. 229 00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:48.960 Yeah, it's beautiful up here. Hey. You know, I've just 230 00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.240 been thinking about all this and since Iran thing, and 231 00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:55.080 we I think we really need to watch our sixes. Now, 232 00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:58.480 we need to watch what's around us because just like 233 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.919 you're saying, there's so many sleep here that you wouldn't 234 00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:06.080 even realize it. Oh yeah, yeah, I think now is 235 00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:10.320 the time that, like you're saying, they're going to try 236 00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:12.919 and hit back and they're going to make it. Well, 237 00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:16.720 it wasn't us, you know, and you know that type 238 00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:17.000 of thing. 239 00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:19.879 Amen to that. You are right on target there, Chris. 240 00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:21.519 They appreciate the call. I want to try to get 241 00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:23.600 everybody in three or three someone three eight two five 242 00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:26.720 five text d A N five seven seven three nine, 243 00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:29.600 and you know the other dangerous scenario. And again I 244 00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:31.919 preface all of this with Trump did the right thing, 245 00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:35.200 He did the necessary thing. He did it extremely well. 246 00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:38.639 Obviously the military executed it extremely well. But it took 247 00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:42.000 a very gutsy president to order up the mission, and 248 00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:48.200 so it beyond the obvious value of whatever degree of 249 00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:51.200 damage was done to Around's nuclear program. And I trust 250 00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:53.639 it was a lot. I trust what Trump says on this, 251 00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:57.240 and it makes sense that it was a lot. The 252 00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:58.919 fact is it took a lot of guts to order 253 00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:02.000 the mission of many presidents would have. So we're fortunate 254 00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:04.440 to have Trump, but we have to be realistic, right 255 00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:06.759 about the nature of the evil that was struck, and 256 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:10.240 also the other evil out there, much of it aligned 257 00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:13.600 with the evil in the Iranian regime. But here's the point. 258 00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:16.639 You know that we have this ongoing danger from the 259 00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:20.879 regime were acting with what they consider to be plausible deniability. 260 00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:24.399 But we also have the danger of other evil enemies 261 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:28.279 now acting against us interest, be it abroad or at home, 262 00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:32.679 hoping that it then gets blamed on Iran. So it's 263 00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:35.759 a dangerous time. But you look at all the brave people, 264 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:38.440 all the great presidents who stood up in American history 265 00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:41.919 to take on evil, and taking on evil creates its 266 00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:49.279 own danger, and to think otherwise would be infantile. Obviously, 267 00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:51.279 you take on an evil, it's going to create its 268 00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:54.519 own danger, but you measure it out and you properly 269 00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:58.120 conclude that the danger of not taking on evil as 270 00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:00.639 far greater as it certainly is in this case. So 271 00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:04.399 kudos to the President. But I don't think we're out 272 00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:06.440 of the woods at this point. Three all three someone 273 00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:08.639 three eight two five five text d A N five 274 00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:11.039 seven seven three nine. In fact, will never be out 275 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:13.440 of the woods completely right, that that's just not the 276 00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:16.519 nature of life on this earth. There's always going to 277 00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:20.039 be evil on this earth, and then you hope that 278 00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:23.600 we and other good people will continue to rise up 279 00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:28.000 against evil and fight it and win. But it's never 280 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.480 going to be completely eradicated in this life. It's just 281 00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:34.200 our job to take it on and combat it as 282 00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:37.799 best we can. Dad, any terrorist attack by Iranian proxies 283 00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:41.120 will be considered a direct attack by Iron itself. Excuse me, 284 00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:44.960 there is no plausible deniability anymore. I agree with the 285 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:48.200 texture in the sense that this administration is very wise 286 00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:52.559 and sophisticated and and will not, if at all possible, 287 00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:57.240 allow Iran to get away with any proxy type at tax. 288 00:15:57.799 --> 00:16:00.639 On the other hand, at a certain point, you know, 289 00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:03.720 some of these evil missions can be executed in such 290 00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:07.480 a way that there's no clear link, and then what 291 00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:10.120 happens in that case we'll find out. Together. Let's hope 292 00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:11.440 I'm wrong on all of this and none of this 293 00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:14.000 even happens. Dan, I'm still not a fan of Donald 294 00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:16.519 Trump the man, but he made America great again this weekend. 295 00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:18.960 That from No Code, Dan, thank you, no Coe, And 296 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:20.559 I would bet that there are an awful lot of 297 00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:22.399 people who feel that way, a lot of people who 298 00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:24.679 vote Democrat, etc. I mean, I was at a wedding 299 00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:29.480 this weekend in Milwaukee for my nephew, my sister's boy. Wonderful, 300 00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:32.600 wonderful guy. We've tried a case together. He worked at 301 00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:34.559 our law firm for years. He's a great try lawyer. 302 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:38.679 And you know, like I said before, I think I 303 00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:42.840 don't think there's a single relative outside of Colorado who 304 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:47.519 is a Republican. I think everybody's Democrat, right, but they're 305 00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:50.159 all and I was with a large group of such folks. 306 00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:53.960 I doubt there were five Republicans at this very large 307 00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:57.600 wedding back in Milwaukee. But the Democrats in my family 308 00:16:57.639 --> 00:17:01.159 and other Democrats I know, like Midway Democrats, the vast 309 00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:06.680 majority are extremely patriotic and likely very proud of this 310 00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:10.279 mission this weekend, but would never want to credit Trump 311 00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:12.720 for it. And that's part of how President Trump got 312 00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:15.599 elected twice, Right, is Democrats voting for him who would 313 00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:18.599 never admit they voted for him. Dan, how do we 314 00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:22.720 get rid of police in Johnston? Well, governor of Colorado 315 00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:25.000 is term limited. I think he has his eye on 316 00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:28.000 that Senate seat, whether he's going to try to force 317 00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:31.480 hicking Looper out or wait until Bennett's opened up. I 318 00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:36.680 don't see him just you know, drifting off into private life. 319 00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:40.519 I think he just loves the yes man thing and 320 00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:42.720 all of that way too much for that three or three. 321 00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:45.079 He's someone three eight two five five Johnston. He's going 322 00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:46.759 to have to get voted out at some point. Here, 323 00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:50.640 TeX's d an five seven seven three nine your reaction 324 00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:51.480 to the ceasefire. 325 00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:57.759 You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. 326 00:17:58.279 --> 00:18:03.400 Our objective was a destruction of Iran's nuclear inrichment capacity 327 00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:07.160 and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the 328 00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:09.519 world's number one state sponsor of terror. 329 00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:11.559 Tonight, I can report to the. 330 00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:18.559 World that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran's 331 00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:24.319 key nuclear and Richmond facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. Iran, 332 00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:27.440 the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. 333 00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:30.839 If they do not, future attacks would be far greater 334 00:18:31.079 --> 00:18:32.119 and a lot easier. 335 00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:35.079 Yeah. I love that statement on Saturday, and now get 336 00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:38.440 in your reaction to everything, including the ceasefire the President 337 00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:42.240 just announced between Israel and Iran. It's a funny term 338 00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:44.799 for it, right, but when Israel's been so dominant, and 339 00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:49.039 I understand that Israel has suffered a lot as around 340 00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:53.200 has shot missiles aimed at civilian population's hospitals, et cetera. 341 00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:56.319 But in terms of who's actually winning the war in 342 00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:01.079 every measurable way, clearly Israel has with the absolutely key 343 00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:06.039 assist from the US on Saturday night, and more than 344 00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:10.000 just an assist, right major commitment from the President and 345 00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:12.480 our troops. So I want to read this again just 346 00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:17.880 because it's important news and it's just so unusual right 347 00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:22.599 and unique to this president tweet just a short time 348 00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:27.279 ago from the President, Congratulations to everyone. It has been 349 00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:30.920 fully agreed by in between Israel and Iran that there 350 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:34.880 will be a complete and total cease fire in approximately 351 00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:38.480 six hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound 352 00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:42.880 down and completed their in progress final missions for twelve hours, 353 00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:46.400 at which point the war will be considered ended officially, 354 00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:49.319 Iran will start the cease fire, and upon the twelfth hour, 355 00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:53.559 Israel will start the cease fire, and upon the twenty 356 00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:56.519 fourth hour, an official end to the twelve day war 357 00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:00.400 will be saluted by the world. During each season, the 358 00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:04.079 other side will remain peaceful and respectful on the assumption 359 00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:07.160 that everything works as it should, which it will. I 360 00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:10.359 would like to congratulate both countries, Israel and Iran on 361 00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:14.079 having the stamina, courage, and intelligence and what should be 362 00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:17.359 called the Twelve Day War. This is a war that 363 00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:19.559 could have gone on for years and destroyed the entire 364 00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:23.599 Middle East, but it didn't and never will. God bless Israel, 365 00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:26.039 God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless 366 00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:29.440 the United States of America, and God bless the world. 367 00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:33.960 Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America. 368 00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:39.160 So yeah, a lot of positives. I think we just 369 00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:41.920 have to be realistic, right that no matter how well 370 00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:46.599 the President, to the military, the United States Israel execute, 371 00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:50.720 you still have the reality of evil in power in Iran. 372 00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:55.319 We can obviously considerably and hopefully hopefully to the point 373 00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:58.519 that the people of Iran can successfully overthrow the regime, 374 00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:01.000 though I have no way of knowing from the outside 375 00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:06.519 whether that's feasible at this point. But I do think, 376 00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:11.480 unfortunately that there's a high, high high chance that there 377 00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:16.440 will be Iranian sleeper selves, lone wolves, et cetera, attacks 378 00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:19.839 on American interest here and abroad, and hope I am 379 00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:24.799 wrong about that. If those do occur. I won't change 380 00:21:24.839 --> 00:21:27.759 my mind about the necessity of what President Trump had 381 00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:31.799 to do, right, because we all know there is risk 382 00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:35.039 in every action that's taken against evil. There's simply more 383 00:21:35.160 --> 00:21:38.119 risk in not taking the action against evil in a 384 00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:41.160 case like this. So let's continue to get to some 385 00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:43.480 of that hot take sound. There's been so much of 386 00:21:43.519 --> 00:21:45.079 it over the weekend. I want to get to some 387 00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:49.720 of the opponents as well, because that affects what happens 388 00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:53.279 going forward, right, how the Democratic Party handles this, and 389 00:21:53.359 --> 00:21:58.640 how the voters that all the Democratic Party. Here's Bernie, and. 390 00:21:58.599 --> 00:21:59.720 I want to tell you something. 391 00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:04.839 Not only is this news that I've just heard the 392 00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:08.839 second alarming that all of you have just heard, but 393 00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:15.799 it is so grossly unconstitutional. All of you know is 394 00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:20.279 that the only entity they can take this country to 395 00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:23.640 wall is the US Congress. The president does. 396 00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:24.640 Not have the right. 397 00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:28.920 You know what an actor this guy's Yeah, and people 398 00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:32.920 talk about Reagan as the actor Ryan. He had to know. Hey, 399 00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:35.119 Bernie Sanders has a lot of horrible ideas, etcetera. But 400 00:22:35.160 --> 00:22:37.000 he had to know that every word coming out of 401 00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:41.839
