Happy Tuesday to you. Always extra special on Tuesday because
at this time we get to talk to Daniel Davis
for the Daniel Davis Deep Dive. You can find the podcast.
Just search for it. You'll run into it. Retired Lieutenant
Colonel Daniel Davis, Welcome back to the Morning Show, my friend.
I've been looking forward to this one extra special since
the breakdown on Friday.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah, was there something that happened? Maybe I missed it.
I years under a rock and maybe I still hurt something.
You know, I just have to observe.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
From a political perspective, when did the Democrats become the
party of war? This is kind of a strange political
twist that we had.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
You know, you used to see, you know, all the
Vietnam pachests and all the get piece of chance, and
now they're the ones that first of all the last
four years, that's all they wanted to do was fund war.
And now then they're mad at the Republicans for not
doing yet more war.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
So it's a bit of a head scratcher.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
I often wonder that, well, I maybe they're trying to
hide something I had my last guest in studio. We're
talking about this and Ukraine, hotbed of corruption and money laundering,
and maybe there's some suggestion that I don't know, they
don't want to have revealed what might be revealed, but
we won't speculate on that today. Let's talk about the
deteriorating situation. Donald Trump just said he's cutting off funding.
(02:19):
There was supposed to be a mineral deal sign which
would have benefited both Ukraine and the United States mutual
financial benefit there. If those minerals are extracted, of course
the Ukrainian people are going to have jobs and money,
and we, of course, by investing in it, are going
to have get some money and maybe bring some stability
to the region. It at least put American interest in Ukraine,
(02:40):
which usually serves as a mechanism to require defense of
American interest if they get attacked see anywhere in the world.
So all the incentive in the world to do this,
and it looked like he was going to sign on
to it. All the indications were that he was. But
what happened, he didn't do it, and he got kind
of feisty with with the bit the hand that.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Feeds him, you know more than just a little puzzling.
There was an outright agreement had already been reached, and
that's why they all had up that set up the
big tables, the signing tables, and the deal after this
meeting was supposed to have taken place. It was agreed
to by everybody. And I really think that National Security
Advisor Mike Wallas put it best the next morning when
(03:23):
he said, listen, we got to ask does Zelenski even
want peace? Because it doesn't look like and if you
go by what people do rather than just what they say,
it's it seems to me crystal clear that Volodimir Zelensky
did not want to sign that deal because he did
not want it to move in the direction of peace.
He wants to keep fighting because and I'm just I
(03:44):
honestly believe this. I think he his brain has become
deluded to the point he can no longer see reality,
and he still has these delusions of thinking he can
win the war if I just get a little more stuff.
And so he's going to sabotage any chance for peace
and then go to a very friendly Europe and say, yeah,
keep giving me more stuff. And honestly, what the Europeans
(04:05):
are doing is the equivalent, in my view of a
guy who's a cokehead crack on living on the street,
shooting up heroin whatever and saying, oh, you, poor guy,
here's more drugs. All that's gonna do is get him killed.
It's not gonna help him. That's not what he needs
right now, it's not what his people need. But I
think that that's where he's wanting to go, and it
looks like President Trump is not willing to go there.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Well, and I certainly understand that. Last time I check
Daniel Davis, we're broke, you know. I mean, we keep
digging ourselves in a bigger, bigger hole. We're gonna be
in a death spiral here shortly with our currency. But
I don't want to get into broader problems like that.
But Brian, you look, I think that's a big point.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
I want to go on that we are already cutting
hundreds of thousands of government positions because we are in
this big deficit spending. That's why he's cutting all this stuff,
in addition to some inefficiencies, but also we just don't
have the money. Now, what sense does it make to
say we're gonna cut American jobs and then get money
indefinitely for somebody else to fight a war that can't
(05:03):
be won. He's not gonna do that because he really
does want to cut spending and sees where things aren't
working well.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Back to Zelensky's delusions. Is he not aware of the
stacks and stacks of bodies of his people that are
piling up and that he's running out of in order
to continue to fight that war?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
He is delusional on that.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
He's either oblivious to it or he's just convinced himself.
And I hate to make these analogies, but there is
some consideration to Hitler in the last days. You remember
that when the Red Army was rolling in towards Berlin
and he just would not stop, and he kept giving
orders to non existent divisions to block this and to
penetrate here, and it was all just delusion and he
(05:44):
could see well around him it wasn't true, but he
kept going. And I think Zelenski's in a similar spiraling
dynamic right now, and it's going to take somebody from
the outside, President Trump to cut.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
That off well, and most notably another parallel can be drawn.
I guess they're going to start recruiting twelve year olds
to fight the war like the Nazis did.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Yeah, well, I mean there are some thought right now
to drop the age down to eighteen, which has parents
panicked all over the country. And I've got some reports
from inside Kiev saying that there is a mass Acctidust
where people are literally risking their lives to get their
kids out of fearing that that is coming.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Well, is this maybe in part a face saving measure
because I knows LUNSI doesn't want to see any territory,
which you and I both know in order to resolve
this conflict that's going to have to happen.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Well, it's more than that. It's not just you're going
to have to see territory ended. The territory is gone
past tense. The question is are you going to continue
to hold out for something better and lose more land?
That's what this is about. Is it here or is
it going to be much further to the west. Because
there's an Austrian Colonel Marcus Reisner did a piece video
(06:56):
a week or so ago, one of the absolute best
analysts in all of Europe, and he showed on a
map what happens if you don't agree to this deal
right here, and you forced Russia to take it by force.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Then it's all the way to the Danepa River around Kiev.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
But then it circles back around and goes all the
way to Transnistria, which means there's a tiny rump of
Ukraine left.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
That's what will happen. It's Zelenski continues to be.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Allowed to fight this war because the Russian onslaught will
eventually just swamp over them.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Now, I'm not overly or entirely familiar with the system
of government they have there, but Zelensky's coming across as
sort of like an autocrat or a dictator. It's like
he has the final say on everything. Is there no
political structure around him that could sort of stop him
or talk some sense to him and say, listen, lad
you know it's not our night. We need to get
the hell out of here or we're going to have
(07:47):
a real problem on our hands. Along the lines of
what you just said, Daniel.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
No, there's not.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Because of the martial law. They be declared when this
thing started. That trumped everything else in his constitution. Now,
even though they went past the election, there's no plans
for another election. He has literal dictatorial powers. You saw
the new Director of National Intelligence, Tulsea Gabbard, was on
Fox a couple of days ago, and she pointed out, look,
(08:12):
this is not democratic, right. You can't get rid of
your political parties about the newspapers you don't like it
at all, and then say you're democratic because there is
no democratic actions regardless of what words anybody uses.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Well, I mean he may be setting himself up for
some sort of coup.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Then there is there is some concerns on that, and
I think they're valid, and it could come from any
number of sources. It's not even just one, because eventually people,
the Ukrainian people aren't going to want to just commit
suicide by continuing to fight a war that they know
they can't win, and people may take action into their hands.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
It's happened a lot in history.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
It certainly has. And you know, the other component of
this that can't be left by the wayside is the
practical reality that you and I have talked about many
times over the past several months, that there are large
swaths of Ukraine that are all rights, they're ethnically Russian,
they align themselves with Russia and they're not unhappy about
the Russian advancements into their particular regions. They're quite comfortable
(09:08):
with it.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Well, there are and you know, in along those lines,
there is increasing evidence that there could be a twenty
thirteen twenty fourteen style uprising on the Ukrainian side of
the Line of contact about some ethnic Russian saying we're
tired of all this, and then they may rise up
and create new partisan warfare kind of stuff all over
(09:30):
the France in World War two, which could you know,
be the final death nail for all this. We'll see
if that manifests, but there's growing evidence that there's a
preparation for that.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Well in the European Union seems to be willing to maybe,
and I know it's a sort of a theoretical choice
for them because they have to ramp up their own
arms production, which they all sound like they're going to
finally start doing something. Trumply pushing for them back in
his first term. Listen, you guys got to learn to
defend yourselves because we can no longer shoulder the burden
of being your police force. So there may be some
(10:02):
positive that comes that we can take away from this.
Maybe we can withdraw some of our military presence and
save some money by no longer policing Europe and defending
Europe from the existential threat I guess of Russia or something.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
And you know, towards that end, if you look under
the headlines.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
One of the big things from Keir Starmer when Zelenski
came to visit him over the weekend was I'm you know,
here's a new one point six billion dollar package for
any aircraft missiles and all this LLM missiles are called.
And it was great, wonderful to help you fight until
you look at the details. These are things that most
of that money is going to be spent in Great
Britain building their jobs, et cetera. But the missiles won't
(10:40):
even start coming off the line until twenty twenty seven
to twenty thirty, so not quite in time to help
their crumbling frontlines right now. So that just shows you
that that's all about Great Britain. They're using all this
to say, hey, we're gonna build up our own arms industries,
and that's part of his two point five percent raising
the GDP, et cetera. But he made it heridage, we're
(11:01):
helping Zelensky, but it's not gonna help Youlynsky, It's gonna
help Great Britain.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
What a crazy world we live in, Daniel Davis. Absolutely insane,
and you just kind of wonder where some of the
decision making are. What drives some of the decision making.
Is it delusion? Is it corruption? Is it supporting the
military industrial complex? I don't know all of the above,
Daniel Davis. I think it is. I you know, you're right.
I mean, that's the point in my life where I've
(11:28):
just completely concluded that that is what it is. Daniel

TO CALL THE GECKO: follow me on https://www.twitch.tv/lyleforever to get a notification for when I am taking calls. I am usually live Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays but lately a lot of other times too. I am a gecko.
