Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Dan Kaples, and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Kaplis Show. Please be sure to
give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every
single day on your favorite podcast platform. Living through history
together that demand that is so exciting to me, And
you know, it's one of the things I'm most grateful

(00:22):
for on air is just all the big moments in history. Now,
I think every day and I'm guessing you're like me.
I think every day is big, you know what I mean,
just life, precious, all of that, I truly do. But
then you get those landscape shifting moments, right, these big
moments in history. And there are some awful ones, right Jesus.

(00:43):
I mean it seemed like yesterday I was anchoring the
KWA coverage the night of the Columbine Horror or nine
to eleven and all of that, All those big awful
moments on air, but so many good things. And which
way do you think today's going to go? Are we
gonna have the Anchorage Accords or the Anchorage Discord? Excuse

(01:06):
me not getting emotional. That's peanut butter three or three
seven one three A two five five. The number TEGs
d an five seven seven three nine, so we may
find out together. Now Anchorage is by my calculations, two
hours behind us, so it's about what seven minutes after
two in Anchorage right now. This didn't start that long ago.

(01:30):
I'm sure you've probably seen some of the video of
the pomp and circumstance and just classic Trump, right. It
was beautiful with the pole, you know, the pole handshake
pulling Putin into him, and Putin was ready for that.
One turned in a little hand wrestling match, and then
of course the Trump flex with the B two and
some fighter jet escorts flying pretty darned low over their heads.

(01:52):
And so even put you know, and he is Satan, right,
he's the devil on Earth mass murder. Even Putin, you know,
just couldn't resist looking at the B two, and you
know that every bone in his body was saying, don't look,
don't look, don't look. But he could not because it's
I've seen one fairly close. So I was flying back

(02:12):
from a case on the East coast one day and
I just happened to look out the window, and they
must have been just kind of having some fun. I
think we were over Missouri, but a B two came
up pretty darn close to the passenger commercial passenger jet.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
But Putina he couldn't help. You have to look at it.
So classic Trump, all in a good way. Three oh
three seven one three A two five five the number
text d A N five seven seven three nine And man,
this this could be historic. Now. You can't trust Putin
on anything, right, So I think President Trump is aiming
for a ceasefire agreement today, wisely minimizing expectations, you know,

(02:53):
talking about I'll hope to get a second meeting, and
we'll get Selenski there, et cetera. But I don't think
this is happening today unless the President has been given
some real reason to believe he might be able to
come out of there with the ceasefire. Then we get
to the definition of ceasefire. Devil's in the details and
Putin's the devil. So what are the terms? But we

(03:13):
will find out, and we cannot be sure this right.
If if Putin screws Trump, if there's any kind of
bait and switch or double cross or anything that could
be taken as any kind of slight of Trump at all,
well you are going to see a rapid response from
forty seven, So very important time three h three seOne

(03:34):
three eight two five five text d an five seven
seven three nine. Want your predictions on this. What do
you think is going to happen short term like today?
What's going to be announced? I think we all believe,
right and if you disagree, think you will take that first.
But I think most, if not all of us believe
President Trump does not make that trip, doesn't put himself

(03:55):
in this position unless he has really strong reason to
believe he's going to come out with the ceasefire or
something very very significant to then just a matter of
whether putin keeps a short term long term what do
you think the result is. So would love your predictions
on that. And then beauty of this timeslot. Right at
the end of the day if you're listening in colorado't

(04:18):
even know it's four to six, is that there is
a lot of news that happens towards the end of
the day, and so we can just go straight there
live and we will certainly do that if the joint
presser or anything else important happens during our show today.
But again, you know, if I'm betting you in my car.
I'm betting that it probably comes down after the show,

(04:41):
just because Anchorage is two hours behind us. Other stuff
want to kick around today. It is a Friday. We
try to lighten it up on a Friday. We've never
actually done that, but we do try. And there's a
news story you probably heard it at the top. I
think it's a fascinating story about the guy who's working
in the Ford plant back in twenty fourteen and loses

(05:02):
his wallet, and then some guy, you know, I think
he's doing a filter on his forward flex ends up
finding the guy's wallet sometime recently and calls in facebooks
and returns it to him. So I think that leads
us into what is the most valuable thing that you've
lost that you've had returned to now? If you want

(05:23):
to go poet a Ka, we're good for that too.
Write it could be oh, I lost my heart and
it was given back to me when I met my wife.
A beautiful story, and happy to take those, but it
might be might also be good if it's like, hey man,
I lost my great watch and then somebody returned it
even though they had no money. And we're starving, you know,

(05:44):
because a lot of those things do happen. A lot
of those things happen, and I think that I think
you hear those stories all the time, in part because
I don't know Ryan. I think that I think that
when folks don't have a lot of money, and sometimes
when folks don't have any money, you know, there's an

(06:09):
easier time, there's a greater appreciation for what really matters
in life, you know, virtue, those core values, things like that.
So I think that's one reason you see a lot
of these stories where, hey, you know, the guy or
Gail who is dead, broke, sometimes living on the streets,
or turns something of great value to somebody who lost it.

(06:31):
I know that doesn't always happen, but I do think
it happens a lot. What's the most valuable thing you
have ever found and returned? So we'll kind of mix
that in during the show today as we talk about,
you know, really a historic day one way or the other.
I mean, it is historic that these two leaders are meeting,
particularly under these circumstances when Putin has proven himself truly

(06:54):
to be among the most evil people in our lifetime
and way beyond. So this meeting has historic significance. No
matter where it goes, but the potential for something really
valuable to come out of it. And there is so
much bloodshed now, right, and as just typical of evil,
that's kind of the definition of evil is just no

(07:17):
regard for human life. There's just no regard for the
dignity the value of each human life. And so how
does a person like Prutin, and maybe you have some
thoughts on this, how does a person like Prutin, any
human ever get to the point where they just have
no empathy, no feeling, no understanding of the value of

(07:39):
each human life, where where they don't look at like
Putin has probably slaughtered what two three hundred thousand at
least of his own citizens children. He's probably at at
least two or three hundred thousand mothers, two or three
hundred thousand fathers suffer the ultimate nightmare of losing their

(07:59):
child child because of Putin's evil. And listen, I'm not
expressing any sympathy here for Russia. You know, Russia launched this,
Russia started it, Russia needs to end it. But I
also understand that that here, that means Putin. Here, that
means Putin, and that's not to in any way excuse

(08:20):
any of the completely unjustified killing being done by anybody
on the battlefield for Russia. But the point is simply
being realistically, very few people there had a choice. This
is evil Putin's war. And so how does a human
get to the point where where there's just no concern,
no thought given to that young life that all of

(08:42):
a sudden the whole future extinguished, the parents, the ultimate heartbreak,
all the ripple effects beyond that. I mean, he's that
kind of monster, and what would cause that kind of
monster now to be willing to end this? Yes, so
this day's going to be historic no matter what. And
I have no doubt that if Putin pulls a bait

(09:05):
and switch, because Trump wouldn't be there without some assurances,
there will be a major, major whacking coming for Putin.
Three or three someone three eight two five five text
d A N five seven seven three nine. What's your prediction?
What's going to happen today? You're on the Dankapla Show.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
And now back to the dan Kaplas Show podcast in.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
The Office with President Trump on Air Force one, heading
in what's your initial feeling?

Speaker 3 (09:32):
How how are you feeling.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
About what you're going to get? Out of this. I
think we're going to do very well.

Speaker 5 (09:37):
Our country is doing very well. We're setting records economically.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
Like we never have before.

Speaker 5 (09:42):
Slowly, the sock markets are all at a record high.
We're taking entridions and trillions of dollars with tariffs. We're
going for a meeting with President Booton in Alaska, and.

Speaker 6 (09:52):
I think it's going to work out very well.

Speaker 5 (09:54):
And if it doesn't, I'm going to head back home
real fast.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
I mean, if it doesn't, you walk, I would walk there. Yeah, well,
we're going to find out together. Right, Maybe not during
the show today because it's two twenty one in Anchorage
right now. They haven't been in there that long. Trump's
a night guy, too, right, I mean, as long as
they remembered the diet coke. I just have never seen
anybody like him, let alone a president just indefatigable, as

(10:20):
they say. I'm not sure they say it that way.
I've always struggled with that word, but you know what
I mean. So we'll keep an eye on it. If
anything big happens, we'll just go straight there. Three oh
three seven one three eight two five five. The number
text d A N five seven seven three nine and Dan,
what is your prediction Anchorage accord or Anchorage discord?

Speaker 4 (10:37):
If I may just interject, because I got eyes on
the prize here and Fox News, the assembled reporters have
now gathered in a press conference room with two podiums,
and we are awaiting a news conference with both President
Trump and Russian President Vlnimer Putin.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Well, that would answer all our questions right.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
Well, the fact that they would be appearing together on
the same stage, Dan, it would have to be a
good sign.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
Well, unless the purpose is for Trump to whack him
upside the head like the Three stooges, He's not going
to show up for that, right. Other than that, right, No,
I listen. If they're gonna have a joint presser right now,
my prediction is they're going to announce a ceasfire deal.
And so you know that would kind of confirm the
belief that there was one already agreed to, and this

(11:23):
was to stage the announcement, which would be a beautiful thing. Listen,
And then then the question would become what's the definition
of ceasefire? And above all, you know Putin can't be trusted,
So where does it go from here? But to Trump
pay all the credit in the world if he can
come out of there with that well.

Speaker 4 (11:39):
And just that alone, Dan, you put it in good
perspective that we can't put the cart before the horse
here and we're not even close to all the way
down the path to piece. However, this would be a
significant first step. It is much further than Joe Biden
ever got because all he did. Now you do this too,
but you understand that if you're going to get this guy,
an evil dictator, to the table, you can't just start
calling him these things, disparaging names like Joe Biden did.

(12:01):
In an order to get him to the table. You
got to coax him a little bit. You got to
finesse him a little bit. Joe Biden had no finesse
when it came to Vladimir Putin, and Trump has that
in spades. And this would be a remarkable accomplishment if
they get even as far as you just said, well, right.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
And you know, it could be I mean it ending
this quickly but with a joint presser, could be that
it's it's short of that, right, and it's just an
announcement that okay, there is now going to be a
meeting involving Zelensky, if Zelensky will will participate, so it
could be that too. All I'm saying is short, because
I mean there wasn't enough time to order a pizza.

(12:37):
Short with the joint presser means some kind of meaningful progress,
and I think it'll be either scenario A or scenario B.
But hey, as long as it happens during the show,
you know it's for our positive. Yeah, it's a positive.

Speaker 4 (12:53):
But Dan, further break that down for us, if you
would please, because I know that Ronald Reagan caught a
lot of flak from a lot of people early on
because he wanted to sit down and have these constructive
talks with Mikhail Gorbatshaw that turned out to be very
fruitful and led to the demise of the Soviet Union
and our victory of our nation and our way of
life over theres In this instance, though, I know you

(13:14):
have a very negative opinion of Putin, and it's well
deserved that Donald Trump was able to maybe thread this
needle and even get this meeting to happen, the summit
in Alaska. What that says about him versus presidents of
the past.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Well, listen, I mean I think we all agree right
that it was that the weakness of Joe Biden that
that invited this evil to happen, right, I mean, evil
praise on weakness, and that's why we what have we seen, Right?
We saw Putin go in and take CRIMEA under Obama,
didn't go in while Trump was in office in his

(13:46):
first term, and then went right back in when Biden
was there. So yeah, I just think with Trump, you know,
we're just looking at one of the greatest presidents in
American history and is so it's it's just an amazing
thing to be able to live through and watch. And
that's not kind of prejudging what happens today. I just

(14:06):
like the boldness and trying to make something happen. But
going to your earlier point, Ryan, I think that what
we saw as classic Piece through strength, and he was
nimble because he started out with the good cop approach
and Putin essentially kicked him in the nut pardon me,
kicked him in the groin, right, and then Trump decided, Okay,

(14:30):
I'm gonna get Piece through strength, and Trump started to
ratchet it down, and I think that's what led to this.
I mean, you were mentioning, you know, the sanctions on India,
during a break. I think it was during a break,
things like that, right, So I think ultimately it took
it took the strength. The carrot wasn't working. Trump pulled

(14:50):
out the stick. And if there's one thing that enemies know,
Trump is a big stick and he will use it.
And so you know, ask Goron as Sola mony let alone,
you know that the recent bombings. So I think it
was strength ultimately that brought whatever progress we're going to
see today, whether it's the smaller or the larger.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
And I anticipate here just update our listeners in real time. Dan,
it seems like I saw the NBC reporter of Peter
Alexander doing a live hit.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
Most of the.

Speaker 4 (15:20):
Reporters, I think are in the room right now. There's
two podiums set up American Russian flags there. The backdrop
is blue and it says pursuing peace at the top
of it. So the messagings there, the optics are there
to have a positive result for this presser and gathering
with both men on stage, and I anticipate we may
be getting to that on the other side of our
bottom of the hour break here.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
Yeah, well, obviously there was some kind of deal in place.
Going in, which, which again is great. I expect it
will be a step forward in some meaningful way, and
now we're going to find out together soon what it is.
But it also brings us back to I think kind
of the magic of this moment, and the magic comes

(16:04):
from Trump, and I do think, as we talked about
after he, as we predicted, overcame everything that could be
thrown at somebody to triumph and to escape the jail.
Literally that the Democrats are trying to force him to
die in and return to power. But the point is

(16:25):
returning to power with more influence than he ever would
have had without having to overcome all of these unfair attacks.
So he comes in with this swagger, with this credibility,
with this aura, all very hard earned, and now we're
seeing him parlay that into these dramatic successes. And whether

(16:48):
today's success is going to be dramatic or just meaningful,
we'll find out together. But we're seeing so much success
in a hurry is I think a big piece of
that is what he overcame on the way and the
extra firepower that gives him. Let's go to our friend

(17:11):
Jack and Cheyenne. You're on the dan Kaplis show Welcome.

Speaker 7 (17:14):
Jack.

Speaker 8 (17:16):
Hey Danny, I my phone's not that good, But let
me say it a little shorter than you did. I
think the whole world takes Trump seriously, and I don't
think that Putin has that same U has that same ability.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
Well, you know, Putin is obviously a sociopath, so I
don't think you're right. I don't think we can assume
that he's going to perceive, or process or function normally
at all.

Speaker 8 (17:42):
But I think world opinion okay.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
Yeah, I think the only thing that evil regards it
all is strength, because it's a threat to evil's existence.
So I think Putin may be operating on kind of
an Amba like level, right. I mean, he's self, he
understands that the strength that is now aligned against him,

(18:07):
and I think he's probably responding to that kind of
a survival mechanism. Thank you, Jack for the call. I'm
not sure the Amiba is the best example, but you
get my point. Three all three seven, one three eight
two five five textda in seven five seven, seventh three nine,
will go will go straight live to Putin and Trump

(18:28):
as soon as that joint press conference begins. You're on
the Dan Kaplis Show.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.

Speaker 4 (18:38):
So if you were to paint a picture of what
perfect looks like coming out of Alaska today, and what
does that look like in your mind.

Speaker 5 (18:47):
Look, it's not for me to negotiate a deal for Ukraine,
but I can certainly set the table to negotiate the deal,
and our next meeting will have President Zelenski and President
Boot and probably me.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
I'd like to.

Speaker 5 (19:04):
Focus on doing our country, but you know, I get
these interruptions. I've solved six wars in six months when
you think about it, and that's from Pakistan to India
that was going to be a terrible one plane's being
shot down that was getting ready to flare.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
And then nuclear powers and so many others.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
It really is remarkable but understandable how much the president
has been able to accomplish internationally because he has that credibility, right,
he has the strength that it takes to forge peace.
And we'll find out soon together. Apparently this press is
going to start soon. You know what the deal I
won't say was reached today because obviously whatever deal there

(19:47):
is was reached before today and confirmed today. And I
think it's going to be one of two things. It's
either going to be a cease fire deal pending direct
negotiation betwe Putin and Selenski, you know, or it's going
to be the agreement to have that three way meeting Putin,

(20:07):
Zelenski and Trump. I think it's going to be one
of those two things. What's your bet? Is your bet
that it's the ceasefire or the agreement to have the
next meeting three or three seven, one, three A two
five five the number or some wild card d A
N five seven seven three nine one way or the other.
An important step forward right because Russia, I thought your

(20:28):
bump was great. Run when you know the if the
Russians love their children too, I don't think there's any
doubt they do. But I don't think they have a
choice here. I think this is Putin's war, and Putin
I think is a sociopath. I think he's a demonic
mass murder and I think he's only acting now out
of self survival. Because when Trump makes it clear he's

(20:51):
going to put the hammer down, well, Putin has no
reason to doubt it, because Trump has done it elsewhere
see Solomany, see so many there's three O three seven
one three eight two five five d An five seven
seven three nine. We're also mixing in this lighter topic,
spinning off this story of the guy who returned the
wallet that was left in the engine of his forward

(21:13):
by a factory worker. Were returning it like six years later.
We've got a texture, Ryan Dan. Two stories. Lost my
wallet with four thousand in cash and Walmart was turned
into customer service by a teen employee, nothing missing. Another time,
I lost my wallet in king Soupers with three thousand

(21:33):
in cash. An employee turned it in. When I asked
him if he knew there was three k in it,
his reply was, it wasn't mine. I didn't look that
from a listener in Loveland, stop carrying cab, How do
you carry that much cat, that's a big wallet.

Speaker 4 (21:47):
I would be nervous, Dan carrying that much cash in
any situation, I would go right to the bank and
deposit it.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
Yeah, use a credit card, use a debit card.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
You know who spent years in jail in part because
of how much cash they were carrying. You'll never guess.
It's not a fair question. Oh, I don't know, Mike Tyson. Yeah,
you know that trial, remember, Oh, and I covered that.
I covered that live and he was convicted of raping
Desiree Washington in his penthouse suite. She have a very

(22:19):
young lady at the time. She was of legal age,
but very young, and she had naively gone up to
the suite just thinking she was going up to the
suite where Tyson had already If I remember right, it's
been a few years since I covered the trial. Tyson,
I think, had slept with three or four women already
that day, and so all Tyson was thinking about was

(22:43):
for four or five or whatever. So Tyson really believed
and in his mind, I think that she was consenting.
I am not defending that primitive and illegal point of
view at all. I'm just telling you from the trial
what I think his state of mind was. But she
did not consent, and clearly it was a rape, and
clearly he should have been convicted. But there was testimony

(23:06):
a trial. The prosecutor, Greg Garrison, got this in. There
was a maid on the stand testifying to you know,
a certain condition of the bed, et cetera consistent with rape,
and this was a rape. And then Garrison slipped in
this question of how much did he tip you? And
I can't believe the defense didn't stop it, but she's

(23:29):
some small amount for the tip. And then Garrison got
in the evidence that Tyson had like thousands in cash
on him. So that's why I say the big wad
of bills probably worked against Mike Tyson with that local jury.
But they had so much, so much evidence, I think,
with which to convict him. Three oh three seven one
three eight two five five text d an five seven

(23:52):
seven three nine. So we wait together for what should
be one of the more interesting press conferences is in
a couple of decades at least, And we'll cover it
live right here on the Dan Kapla Show. And that'll
be across the affiliates, Is that right, Ryan, We'll be
able to.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
Just that'll be a have discretion of each of our affiliates.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
Yeah, oh, the discretion of our affiliates. Well, what, I'm
sure our affiliates view it the same way we do, right,
I mean, what could be more important? What are you
going to cut to? Good point? Right? Like a Cleveland
Browns preseason game or something? And should he isn't playing
this week? Why not? Yeah? I mean, I'll admit I

(24:33):
had him on a side screen when we were doing
a show last week because last week we were doing
a show and I think his first drive started at
like five o'clock. But because I really wish him well,
hope he does great, but I think he's hurt this week. Yeah,
that's uh. Who are we going to, Ryan Shay in Denver?

(24:55):
You're on the Dan Kapla show. Welcome, Oh, j like
j Cuttler even better. I hope it is Jake Cutler.
I've always wanted to ask Jake Cutler, how do you
go out to a really nice country club and not
wear a shirt? And I'm not trying to be elitist here,
It's just don't you have to at least wear a shirt?

(25:16):
Welcome to the show, Jay, and if you are Jay Cutler,
please explain that to us.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
No, I'm not Jake Cutler, but he maybe has the
body that can carry it off. Maybe he's had that
kind of response from some of the club members.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
Interesting. Interesting, what did you call about my friend? Jay?

Speaker 2 (25:36):
A couple of observations about the what do you call
it the summit today?

Speaker 1 (25:46):
The accord an anchora.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
Yes, first of all, it looks like Trump is antagonized,
I think, but as he was standing at the plane
on the on the up on the ramp there or whatever.
He didn't do his usual fifth bomp. He had an
open hand like a hand wave, which indicated to me

(26:12):
uncertainty or not the usual Trump bravado. And then secondly,
Putin got in the car with Trump. I couldn't believe that.
I can't. I can't imagine anybody in Putin's position getting

(26:32):
into a car, a Cadillac with with uh with Trump. Now,
one thing no one's ever, no one's ever brought up,
is whether or not Putin uses body doubles. And I
think he does. I personally think he does.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
So you think this is a body double? Yes, I
mean brother's starting the weekend.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
Yeah, right. But you know, there were and there were
speculations that Putin was dying of some horrible disease, and
there was feedback from the Ukraine or whatnot that Putin
had fallen down.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
And I'm so sorry to interrupt, my friend. We've got
to pop this break on time so we can come
back and start that presser. But in terms of Trump
not looking as confident, you say, my goodness, man, he
came up. He he almost pulled Putin all the way
over with the handshake, and then he flew a B
two right over his head. Trump looked like in pretty
good fleximo to me, to David, thank you for the call,

(27:44):
grateful for that. We're going to pop this so we
can come back and get into that joint press or
you're on the Dan Kapla Show.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
And now back to the Dan Taplas Show podcast earlier.

Speaker 9 (27:56):
This week, that boot would faced severe consequences if you
get the sense from he's not interested.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
What do you mean by that?

Speaker 10 (28:02):
Economically severe? Yes, it will be very severe. I'm not
doing this for my health, Okay, I don't need it.
I'd like to focus on our country. But I'm doing
this to save a lot of lives.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
Yeah, very severe, boy, and so many lives need to
be saved. Right, we all know where this is going
to end, right, we all know where this is going
to end because Europe won't put boots on the ground.
And it's not that I want a war, a bigger
war or World War three. I don't want the opposite.
But obviously with evil it's peace through strength. And so

(28:33):
once Europe showed it wasn't willing to put boots on
the ground in Ukraine, well then then putin you know,
evil can do math too. Putin knew that he would
eventually be able to get territory. Don't blame Trump for that,
Blame Biden in his weakness, and blame Europe in its weakness.
The great people of Ukraine have fought heroically. But yeah,
now you're dealing with raw evil, and so Trump's just

(28:56):
stepping in and I think he will succeed in saving
a lot. So now we'll find out together soon, right,
whether this deal, which was obviously reached and advanced and
confirmed with a handshake, you know, whether this deal is
going to be for another meeting with Selensky involved, or
whether it's going to be for a temporary ceasefire while

(29:16):
they scheduled that other meeting. So we will find out
that bit of history. It's either going to be meaningful
history or really big history, and we'll we'll find that
out together. So the truth is, even if it's what
you know I think all of us pray for, which
is a ceasefire agreement, we won't really know what it
means until some time passes, because again dealing with Putin.

(29:39):
But credit to Trump, credit to Trump for taking action, right,
just taking action and putting himself out there as he's
been willing to do at every turn with an awful
lot of risk, and you know, many good things have
come from that. Three OL three seven one three eight
two five five The number text d A N five
seven seven nine. So we just saw Marco Rubio and

(30:03):
others Pete, Hegseth, etc. I think is there as well
get in place, So that should signal that this is
about to start. I don't think they would make the
Secretary of State wait very long for this to go.
So our game plan, we've got about four minutes left
till break. We'll take it obviously the second it starts,

(30:26):
and then then we'll make a call during the break.
Let's say it starts while we're in our top of
the hour break. At that point we'll probably listen to it,
but freeze it and then start it from the beginning
when when you rejoin us. Well, hopefully you'll stay during
the break, right, So we'll start it when we come

(30:46):
back from that break, if that's the way it comes down,
because I would expect the most important stuff is probably
going to be at the beginning, right, I mean, we're
going to find out pretty quick in this thing. Yeah,
they're walking in right now. Now Ryan, can you go
there all at the press conference? Can you take us in? Yeah?

(31:06):
They just get this to move on. Yeah, here come
the leaders. I'm interrupt to General. Let's go live to
the room here the two leaders.

Speaker 11 (31:23):
Let them reprove and down, mister President, Ladies and gentlemen,
unless did you go there our negotiations?

Speaker 12 (31:31):
Do you mean you have been helping.

Speaker 11 (31:32):
Your constructing the atmosphere of metroits up? We have buried
zorrow negotiations.

Speaker 12 (31:39):
Wa proposal to travel out here to the last.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
You said.

Speaker 11 (31:48):
We've met here because our country, gentlemen, separated than close
neighbors there today.

Speaker 12 (31:57):
So when we've met, list.

Speaker 13 (32:03):
The rush list Malta, dividit us usually zushi and more
uh building of pli rais Americans.

Speaker 12 (32:35):
She paid to lement the emptiness of ice.

Speaker 11 (32:38):
However, the pilots of both countries did everything to bring
close to the victory. They reached their lives and they
gave it all for the common victory. I was just
in in the city of Magadan in Russia, and there
was a memorial there dedicated to the Russian the US pilots.
And there are two flags, the U. S flag and
the Russian flag that I know that here as well,

(32:59):
there is such an immoral There is a military burial
place several kilometers away from here. The Soviet pilots that
buried there, who died during that dangerous mission, were thankful
to the citizens and the government of the US for
carefully taking care of their memory.

Speaker 12 (33:15):
I think that's very worthy and noble.

Speaker 11 (33:18):
We'll always remember other historical examples when now where countries
defeated common enemies together in the spirit of battle, camoraderi
and allship that supported each other and facilitated each other.
I am sure that this heritage will help us rebuild
and foster mutually beneficial and equal ties at this new stage,

(33:38):
even during the hardest conditions.

Speaker 12 (33:41):
It is known that there have been no summits.

Speaker 11 (33:45):
Between Russian and the US for four years, and that's
a long time. This time was very hard for bioledal relations,
and let's be frank, they fallen to the lowest points
since the Cold War. I think that's not benefiting our
countries and the.

Speaker 12 (34:01):
World as a whole.

Speaker 11 (34:04):
This is apparent that sooner or later we had to
amend the situation, to move on from the confrontation to dialog,
and in this case, a personal meeting between the heads
of state has been long overdue, naturally under the condition
of serious and painstaking working, and this work has been done.
In general, me and President Trump have very good direct contact.

(34:26):
We've spoken multiple times. We spoke frankly on the phone,
and Special Envoy of the Present Mister Wiko, traveled out
to Russia several times. Our advisors and heads of foreign
ministries kept in touch all the time. And you know
fully well that one of the central issues was the

(34:49):
situation around Ukraine. We see the strive of the administration
and President Trump personally to help facilitate the resolution of
the Ukrainian conference, and he strived to get to the
crux of the matter. To understand this history is precious.
As I've said, the situation in Ukraine has to do
with fundamental threats to our security. Moreover, we've always considered

(35:13):
the Ukrainian nation, and I've said it multiple times, a
broadly nation. Power is strange, it may sound in these conditions,
we have the same roots, and everything that's happening is
a tragedy for us and terrible wound. Therefore, the country
is sincerely interested in putting an end to it. At
the same time, We're convinced that in order to make

(35:36):
the settlement lasting and long term, we need to eliminate
all the primary roots, the primary causes of that conflict,
and we've said it multiple times, to consider all legitimate
concerns of Russia and to reinstate a just balance of
security in Europe and in world on the whole, and
agree with President Trump as he has said today that

(35:56):
naturally the security Ukraine should be insured as well. Naturally,
we are prepared to work on that. I would like
to hope that the agreement that we've reached together will
help us bring close to that goal and will pave
the path towards peace in Ukraine. We expect that Kiev
and European capitals will perceive that constructively and that they

(36:18):
won't throw a ranch in the works. They will not
make any attempts to use some backroom dealingson to conduct
provocations to torpedo the nascent progress. Incidentally, when the new
administration came to power, bio ledal trades orady to grow.

Speaker 12 (36:39):
It's still very symbolic.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
Still we have the.

Speaker 12 (36:43):
Growth of twenty percent. As I've said, we have a
lot of dimensions for joint work.

Speaker 11 (36:48):
It is clear that the US and Russian investment and
business potential. Corporation has tremendous potential. Russia and the US
can offer each other so much in trade, digital, high.

Speaker 12 (37:01):
Tech and in space exploration.

Speaker 11 (37:04):
We see that Arctic corporation is also very possible and
our international context, for example between the forests of Russia
and the west coast of the US. Overall, it's very
important for our countries to turn the page to go
back to cooperation. It is symbolic that not far away
from here the border between Russia and the US, there

(37:26):
is a so called international dateline. I think you can
step over literally from yesterday into tomorrow, and I hope
that will succeed in that in political sphere, I would
like to thank President Trump for our joint work, for
the well wishing and trustworthy tone.

Speaker 12 (37:47):
Of our conversation. It's important in both sides our.

Speaker 11 (37:50):
Results oriented, and we see that the President of the
US is a very clear.

Speaker 12 (37:54):
Idea of what he would like to achieve.

Speaker 11 (37:57):
He sincerely cares about prosperity of his new Still, he
understands that Russia has its own national interests. I expect
that today's agreements will be the starting point, not only
for the solution of the Ukrainian issue, but also will
help us bring back businesslike and pragmatic relations between Russia
and the US.

Speaker 12 (38:17):
And in the end, I would like to add one
more thing. I'd like to remind you that in twenty
twenty two.

Speaker 11 (38:23):
During the last contact with the previous administration, I tried
to convince my previous American colleague.

Speaker 12 (38:32):
Should not the situation should not be.

Speaker 11 (38:37):
Brought to the point of no return when it would
come to hostilities, and I said it quite directly back then.

Speaker 12 (38:43):
That's a big mistakes.

Speaker 11 (38:47):
Today when President Trump saying that if he was the
present back then there will be no war, and I'm
quite sure that it would indeed be so.

Speaker 12 (38:55):
And I can confirm that, Philom.

Speaker 11 (38:58):
I think that overall me and President Trump have built
a very good, business like and trustworthy contact and have
every reason to believe that moving down this path, we
can't come and the suited better to the end of
the conflict in Ukraine.

Speaker 6 (39:17):
Thank you, thank you well, Thank you very much, mister President.
That was very profound, and I will say that I
believe we had a very productive meeting. There were many
many points that we agreed on. Most of them, I
would say a couple of big ones that we haven't
quite gotten there, but we've made some headway. So there's

(39:40):
no deal until there's a deal. I will call up
NATO in a little while, I will call up the
various people that I think are appropriate, and of course
call up Presidents Olynsky and tell them about today's meeting.
So ultimately up to them, they're going to have to
agree with what Marco and Eve and some of the

(40:02):
great people from the Trump administration who've come here Scott
and John Ratcliffe, thank you very much. But we have
some of our really great leaders. They've been doing a
phenomenal job. We also have some tremendous Russian business representatives here,
and I think you know, everybody wants.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
To deal with us.

Speaker 6 (40:22):
We've become the hottest country anywhere in the world at
a very short period of time, and we look forward
to that. We look forward to dealing. We're going to
try and get this over with. We really made some
great progress today. I've always had a fantastic relationship.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
With President Putin. With Vladimir we had many, many tough meetings,
good meetings.

Speaker 6 (40:48):
We were interfered with by the Russia Russia Russia hoax
that made it a little bit tougher to deal with,
but he understood it. I think he's probably seen things
like that during the course of his career. He's seen
it all. But we had to put up with the
Russia Russia Russia hoax. He knew it was a hoax,
and I knew it was a hoax. But what was

(41:09):
done was very criminal. But it made it harder for
us to deal as a country in terms of the
business and all of the things that would like to
have dealt with. But we'll have a good chance when
this is over. So just to put it very quickly,
I'm going to start making a few phone calls and
tell them what happened. But we had an extremely productive
meeting and many points were agreed to. There are just

(41:34):
a very few that are left. Some are not that significant.
One is probably the most significant. But we have a
very good chance of getting there. We didn't get there,
but we have a very good chance of getting there.
I would like to thank President Putin and his entire team,
whose faces who I know in many cases otherwise other
than that, whose faces I get to see you all

(41:56):
the time in the newspapers. You're very You're almost as
famous as the boss, but especially this one right over here.
But we had some good meetings over the years, right,
good productive meetings over the years, and we hope to
have that in the future. Let's see the most productive
one right now. We're going to stop early five, six,
seven thousand, thousands of people a week from being killed,

(42:18):
and President Putin wants to see that as much as
I do. So again, mister President, I'd like to thank
you very much, and we'll speak to you very soon
and probably see you again very soon.

Speaker 1 (42:29):
Thank you very much. Vladimir next time in Moscow.

Speaker 6 (42:34):
Oh that's an interesting one. I'll get a little heat
on that one, but I can see it possibly happening.

Speaker 1 (42:40):
Thank you very much, Vlatimir, and thank you all. Thank you,
thank you, thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (42:48):
Well.

does that mean? Where does it go? From here. Let's
break that down on the other side. You're on the

From the University of Colorado, thirty years.

Speaker 1 (48:06):
In the rain fighting for truth, justice and the American Way. Yeah, So,
what's your take on what just happened? This is fascinating
to me. There was much less in that announcement than
I expected. But my best guess is that where we're

(48:26):
at is that there have been some meaningful agreements reached,
but President Trump needs to first discuss it with President Zelensky,
with NATO et cetera, just as part of the protocol,
just to maximize the chance that there's buy in for
the agreements reached today. That's my take. What's yours? Three

(48:47):
or three seven to one three A two five five
the number text d A N five seven seven three nine.
Now the President's going to be on with Sean Hannity
at eight o'clock Mountains. So my guess is we'll learn
a bit more than at least some hints. What do
you think, right well?

Speaker 4 (49:03):
What really stood out to me and I got in
your ear and said wow, was Vladimir Putin coming right
out and saying that, yes, he agrees, if President Trump
had been in office rather than Joe Biden, there would
not have been a war in Ukraine. And I found
that fascinating, and I'm wondering what your thoughts are on them.

Speaker 1 (49:20):
Yeah, you know, my thought is, hey, Putin's evil. He
started this. He has raped and pillaged a nation that
he invaded. So I don't put any stock in that
or anything else. He says. I think that, you know,
first of all, I think it's true, right, I mean,
and we've said it all along. If Trump had been

(49:42):
in office at the time, there would not have been
an invasion, just like there wasn't an invasion during Trump's
first term. But the way Putin tried to play that,
you know, by suggesting that Trump would have given Putin
what he needed with regard to Ukraine. Yeah, I think
just kind of another slimy moved from Putin. I think
the reason that Putin wouldn't have gone in if Trump

(50:03):
was in office was the same reason he didn't in
this during the sixteen term, right, because Trump is strong
and he's not willing to take the risk with Trump.
So I think they reached some kind of significant agreement today,
but Trump has to make sure to get buy in
from the folks he needs buy in from before it's announced.

Speaker 4 (50:26):
Also, Dan, what would what did you think towards the
end there, Leonimer Putin chimed in and said he wanted
on a summit in Moscow, and then Trump's like, oh,
they're gonna.

Speaker 1 (50:34):
Get mad at me for that one.

Speaker 3 (50:36):
Like what did you make about it?

Speaker 1 (50:38):
Yeah? I think it was face saving, you know, because
Putin traveled to the US for this one. Right, Okay, yep,
what do you think?

Speaker 3 (50:45):
Well?

Speaker 4 (50:46):
I think what you saw, what you heard if you
were just listening with the sounds that we provided for you,
was a person who respects the strength of Donald Trump,
whether it was him just putting words out there that no,
there would not have been a war in Ukraine if
Trump were president. I don't think that's just him genuflecting.
I don't think Putin's like that. I think he does

(51:08):
respond to and respect the strength of Donald Trump, the
fact that he wanted to have a summit in Moscow.
I think what this does, and a lot of people
out there that are critics of Trump would say this
is it puts Putin on the same stage with Trump.
It gives him that standing that he was not going
to get with Joe Biden. And you might say, well,
that's a good thing for Joe Biden, but it's not.

(51:28):
Because we were at an impass. Unless this war was
going to end with Ukraine being victorious somehow expelling Russia
out of Ukraine, which was not a realistic goal or option,
there needed to be some kind of compromise like hopefully
we're working toward here that Putin views this as you know,
I have a fair shot with Trump. I respect him,
I think he respects me. And the next step, if

(51:51):
this is going to be a successful summit here in Alaska,
Dan would be what Donald Trump just said, He's going
to call the leaders of NATO, He's going to call
the leaders of Europe, and then of course, watermer' Zolensky
and if he can get Putin and Zelensky in the
same room with him as an arbiter, I believe that
he can get this done.

Speaker 1 (52:07):
I have that faith.

Speaker 3 (52:08):
And he's done it.

Speaker 4 (52:08):
He's shown us that he can do it. He's done
it already in his second term. He said, I think
it's stopping six different conflicts, and he's right.

Speaker 1 (52:15):
That did happen well, And it's a practical matter. I mean,
you know, President Trump will need buy in from NATO
in the European capitals, right because it the only kind
of leverage excuse me on President Zelensky at this point,
you know, to do a deal that involves giving up
territory will be if the European capitals want the deal,

(52:39):
because obviously Ukraine is completely dependent on financially on the
US and the European capitals. So I think that's the
phase we're in now. Yeah, Okay, we're going to take
a break to make up for that time we lost
when we stayed with that presser. Back soon. You're on
the Dan Capitli Show.
