WEBVTT - I'm Lucky Today! 0:00:07.830 --> 0:00:11.670 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the 0:00:11.690 --> 0:00:13.670 George Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:13.750 --> 0:00:17.489 Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:17.650 --> 0:00:23.220 And now, here's Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:32.459 Tony Romo. He's made tens of millions in his second 0:00:32.500 --> 0:00:34.140 career after the NFL. 0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:35.220 Where are you coming from? 0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:36.919 The golf course. 0:00:37.340 --> 0:00:41.370 But this on-camera performance near downtown Milwaukee back in July 0:00:41.690 --> 0:00:44.949 put his future in TV on hold. A strong odor 0:00:45.070 --> 0:00:50.159 of alcohol. Feet together. a poor execution of field sobriety tests. 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:50.839 So what am I doing? 0:00:51.050 --> 0:00:54.170 The father of three boys pleaded no contest to charges 0:00:54.230 --> 0:00:58.450 of driving while intoxicated. This public apology followed. Romo said, 0:00:58.930 --> 0:01:02.750 multiple back surgeries left me with constant debilitating pain, a 0:01:02.790 --> 0:01:05.770 dependence on pain medications, and my efforts to get off 0:01:05.810 --> 0:01:09.310 those medications led to an over-reliance on alcohol. 0:01:11.810 --> 0:01:13.000 Can't drive drunk. 0:01:13.190 --> 0:01:13.729 You just can't. 0:01:14.260 --> 0:01:17.190 No, and you shouldn't, and it's bad, and people get 0:01:17.250 --> 0:01:19.910 killed because of drunk driving, but the way we treat 0:01:20.030 --> 0:01:23.990 these things, I don't get it. I mean, if this 0:01:24.090 --> 0:01:29.250 is his fifth time or whatever, it happens to lots 0:01:29.310 --> 0:01:31.920 of people. Like, do you just, I'm sorry, we can 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:35.160 no longer be friends, Jim, for the rest of our lives, 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:36.860 or you can't work here. 0:01:36.980 --> 0:01:39.460 Or whatever over. 0:01:38.860 --> 0:01:41.340 That one, he was golfing with friends and had more 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:43.890 to drink than he realized or whatever. I don't want 0:01:43.910 --> 0:01:46.030 it to not be a crime or anything like that, 0:01:46.069 --> 0:01:50.550 but we don't cut off. But for celebrities, we have this, 0:01:51.090 --> 0:01:53.330 they're found to be a child murderer standard. 0:01:54.090 --> 0:01:54.360 Right. 0:01:54.390 --> 0:01:58.380 We've, as a society, decided on a sanction for this crime, 0:01:58.940 --> 0:02:03.660 and it does not include necessarily public, like, humiliation. You're 0:02:03.700 --> 0:02:06.640 going to be embarrassed, but it's not like an orchestrated 0:02:06.700 --> 0:02:09.100 campaign of humiliation and loss of career. 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:09.640 Right. 0:02:09.660 --> 0:02:11.910 Show me where that is in the statutes. It isn't there. 0:02:12.310 --> 0:02:12.910 It's interesting. 0:02:12.930 --> 0:02:13.010 Yeah. 0:02:13.500 --> 0:02:16.960 Yeah, and I tell you what, alcohol is underrated as 0:02:17.020 --> 0:02:20.360 a painkiller. When I'm dealing with either chronic pain stuff 0:02:20.620 --> 0:02:26.070 or injuries, that's when I want to drink. Because, man, 0:02:26.169 --> 0:02:29.150 it's the best painkiller on earth. But it's a bad habit. 0:02:29.190 --> 0:02:30.109 I don't know if you've heard that. 0:02:31.830 --> 0:02:35.190 So we didn't talk about this, I don't think, at all. 0:02:35.210 --> 0:02:40.079 A couple of weeks ago, there was a big announcement 0:02:40.139 --> 0:02:44.790 that two Pennsylvanians had died of the measles. And the 0:02:45.030 --> 0:02:49.350 portrayal of the story and the roundtable discussions on cable 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:52.040 news were all about how, and you know the direction 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:52.799 this is going to go. 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:54.420 RFK Jr. 0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:58.480 because he's anti-vaccine, has caused lots of people to not 0:02:58.540 --> 0:03:01.880 get vaccines, and now a disease that we mostly had 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:05.160 under control like measles is making a comeback. In fact, 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:10.580 Josh Shapiro, the governor of the fifth largest state in America, 0:03:11.060 --> 0:03:14.600 held a press conference to announce two measles deaths. And 0:03:14.620 --> 0:03:16.609 that's one of the things the free press is on 0:03:16.650 --> 0:03:19.970 about today is, why is the governor of a big 0:03:20.090 --> 0:03:24.950 state taking time to announce the deaths? It's a relatively, 0:03:25.210 --> 0:03:29.270 it's rare. It's both rare and common. What is the 0:03:29.310 --> 0:03:30.060 right term for that? 0:03:31.020 --> 0:03:31.899 It happens. 0:03:32.419 --> 0:03:34.820 People get measles now and then and die from it 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:39.400 and have measles. all through the vaccinated period of measles. 0:03:39.900 --> 0:03:42.340 It doesn't happen very often, but it does happen sometimes. 0:03:42.700 --> 0:03:45.300 It's not a shocking occurrence if it would happen. It's 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.460 not the sort of thing your governor goes and has 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:51.470 a press conference about. And then the added layer, and 0:03:51.510 --> 0:03:54.910 you know exactly what's going on here, but the added layer. 0:03:54.650 --> 0:03:55.240 Of this is. 0:03:57.170 --> 0:04:02.840 The CDC has not confirmed these as deaths from measles. 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:07.080 The media immediately went to, oh, look, the Trump administration 0:04:07.140 --> 0:04:09.630 trying to pretend, trying to cover up the fact that 0:04:09.650 --> 0:04:14.070 they're anti-vaccine. The free press says, looking into this, there's 0:04:14.130 --> 0:04:15.930 no confirmation whatsoever that. 0:04:15.750 --> 0:04:17.180 These are measles deaths. 0:04:18.250 --> 0:04:20.810 What it looks like to the free press is these 0:04:20.870 --> 0:04:24.570 are people who died of– it's exactly the COVID thing. 0:04:24.930 --> 0:04:29.410 They died of other things and had measles. It's like 0:04:29.470 --> 0:04:32.260 the did you die of COVID or from COVID thing. 0:04:32.700 --> 0:04:35.279 With COVID. With COVID thing, yeah. Did you die from 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:38.360 COVID or with COVID? These people, did they die of measles, 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.550 the measles, or die with the measles? And it looks like– 0:04:41.820 --> 0:04:43.300 One of them died with the measles and the other 0:04:43.380 --> 0:04:45.490 one may not have had measles at all. And it's 0:04:45.550 --> 0:04:48.430 perfectly legitimate, according to Free Press, who does not have 0:04:48.970 --> 0:04:52.409 either Trump derangement syndrome or stand up for Trump syndrome 0:04:52.610 --> 0:04:54.930 at all at the Free Press. It's just saying this 0:04:55.029 --> 0:04:58.920 is replaying the whole COVID era nonsense. 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.040 The media and the Democrats and the New York Times. 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:07.960 Tried to make this exhibit a of the anti-vax hysteria 0:05:08.260 --> 0:05:12.400 of jrfk jr causing people to die from measles and 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.849 um and then there's a cover-up and it goes back 0:05:15.890 --> 0:05:17.510 and forth and everything like that that we haven't gotten 0:05:17.550 --> 0:05:20.770 any better than we were back during the covet era 0:05:21.290 --> 0:05:21.669 on this. 0:05:21.570 --> 0:05:26.390 Story let me let me give folks a hint folks 0:05:26.430 --> 0:05:29.909 on the left especially the new york times hey When 0:05:29.950 --> 0:05:34.070 you try to prove your case with crappy evidence, trumped 0:05:34.170 --> 0:05:38.120 up evidence, you weaken your case. You don't strengthen it. 0:05:38.170 --> 0:05:40.510 You weaken it. Try to stop doing that. 0:05:40.710 --> 0:05:41.480 But I know you won't. 0:05:41.830 --> 0:05:44.479 I'm glad you mentioned that. That's one point that this author, 0:05:44.500 --> 0:05:46.089 I should figure out what their name is and mention it. 0:05:46.100 --> 0:05:48.000 But that's one of the points they make here in 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:52.580 this article is all it does is discredit the whole 0:05:52.779 --> 0:05:58.279 thing more to where people don't believe either side of it. 0:06:00.220 --> 0:06:04.179 because it becomes so political so fast, their main point 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:09.880 is the governor having a press conference to announce two 0:06:09.940 --> 0:06:12.280 measles deaths is ridiculous. 0:06:13.500 --> 0:06:14.460 That's not a thing. 0:06:15.180 --> 0:06:18.020 Yeah, well, much like when Gavin Newsom makes an ass 0:06:18.060 --> 0:06:21.320 of himself semi-regularly trying to elevate his national profile, that's 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:25.110 what Josh is doing. He was just profiled in the 0:06:25.130 --> 0:06:27.030 Wall Street Journal today, I think it was, as an 0:06:27.089 --> 0:06:32.360 example of A persuader in politics who helps people who 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:36.500 are undecided see the real story. And he's the opposite 0:06:36.620 --> 0:06:39.180 of a like a rabble rouser that just fires people 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:42.020 up and gets them to the polls. He's an ideas guy. 0:06:42.100 --> 0:06:43.400 So ironic timing. 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.820 Alec Berenson of the Free Press. Did measles kill two 0:06:46.860 --> 0:06:52.060 Pennsylvanians or not? And says it's perfectly OK that the CDC. 0:06:53.420 --> 0:06:56.739 is investigating this further before they declare these measles deaths, 0:06:56.779 --> 0:06:59.860 because it's very squishy as to whether that's. 0:06:59.730 --> 0:07:00.260 True or not. 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.110 But all the news outlets, including the New York Times 0:07:03.150 --> 0:07:07.330 with splashy headlines, jumped on it immediately. We are exactly 0:07:07.450 --> 0:07:10.550 in the same conversation as we were during COVID. 0:07:11.150 --> 0:07:13.210 There are a handful of topics, and this is clearly 0:07:13.290 --> 0:07:17.090 one of them, where it takes so much work to 0:07:17.130 --> 0:07:20.710 get past the dishonest brokers. and the ideologues and the 0:07:20.850 --> 0:07:25.330 evidence twisters, the whole vaccine thing, and people who believe 0:07:25.350 --> 0:07:29.710 whatever wackadoodle website they favor. It's one of those stories 0:07:29.750 --> 0:07:33.240 that I've– here's my talent, Jack, my secret talent. I 0:07:33.270 --> 0:07:34.720 look at a topic and I think, all right, I 0:07:34.740 --> 0:07:37.300 can guesstimate how much of my life is going to 0:07:37.340 --> 0:07:39.920 be spent trying to get a handle on this thing. 0:07:40.620 --> 0:07:45.070 And on that topic, I've just decided, no, no. I'll 0:07:45.150 --> 0:07:47.200 focus on 50 other things. 0:07:47.580 --> 0:07:49.400 That's probably why it didn't come up on the show 0:07:49.460 --> 0:07:52.280 when everybody was talking about these measles. 0:07:51.980 --> 0:07:54.820 Deaths as being a. 0:07:55.280 --> 0:08:00.090 Harbinger of things to come in the RFK Jr. health world. 0:08:00.990 --> 0:08:03.750 Thanks to the free press for looking into it and saying, no, 0:08:03.770 --> 0:08:05.310 it doesn't even look like it is the measles. 0:08:06.290 --> 0:08:09.100 I got the world's worst memory in 2015. You're not 0:08:09.340 --> 0:08:11.620 a ton of help on stuff like this because neither 0:08:11.660 --> 0:08:14.490 one of us have that encyclopedic. Oh, yeah, that was 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:19.370 Congressman Jones back in 84. Anyway, Alex Berenson, wasn't he 0:08:19.410 --> 0:08:24.250 the less famous half of the Jake Tapper book when 0:08:24.290 --> 0:08:24.950 that came out? 0:08:24.980 --> 0:08:26.010 No, no, no. 0:08:26.380 --> 0:08:26.760 Different guy. 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:29.059 Yeah, he was he was the co-writer of something big. 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:29.280 Yeah. 0:08:29.300 --> 0:08:30.720 All right.

So the non-war with 0:11:42.620 --> 0:11:46.500 Canada coming up in a couple of minutes. Let's see. 0:11:46.540 --> 0:11:48.990 What else do we have that's exciting? Oh, my God. 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.329 This might be my favorite story of the day. A 0:11:51.530 --> 0:11:57.410 Ukrainian influencer infiltrated a Russian Zoom meeting about drone production. 0:11:57.690 --> 0:11:58.270 Oh, I love that. 0:11:58.870 --> 0:12:01.220 And, oh, did he dick with them. Sorry for the 0:12:01.250 --> 0:12:03.760 frank talk. Oh, so good. 0:12:04.140 --> 0:12:07.000 The war with Iran seems to be back on, and 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:08.839 we'll talk to Mike Lyons at some point about that. 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:09.320 So stay here. 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:21.250 Armstrong and Getty. 0:12:21.309 --> 0:12:23.189 The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:12:26.630 --> 0:12:32.170 We discussed A.I., We discussed global imbalances where the Canadians 0:12:32.230 --> 0:12:37.040 have been very strong. And we discussed how do we 0:12:37.260 --> 0:12:40.319 put the trade situation back together. And I think that's 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:41.979 going to have to be done at the leader's level. 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:46.920 Scott Besson there, the U.S. Treasury Secretary, who's now like 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:51.219 the de facto half a Secretary of State, half a 0:12:51.300 --> 0:12:53.719 Secretary of War. He seems to be the lead guy 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:57.800 in a handful of things. Talking about the... ongoing talks 0:12:57.820 --> 0:13:00.110 with Canada over trade and tariffs and the rest of it. 0:13:01.580 --> 0:13:04.000 I'm not a big fan of what's been happening so far, 0:13:04.220 --> 0:13:07.990 and neither is the Prime Minister of Canada, who's only 0:13:08.050 --> 0:13:10.969 the Prime Minister, and the Liberal Party is only in 0:13:11.030 --> 0:13:14.070 power because Trump messed with them, and they got the 0:13:14.110 --> 0:13:16.349 chance to show how tough they were. They were about 0:13:16.370 --> 0:13:18.770 to get swept out and change Canada for the better. 0:13:18.870 --> 0:13:20.609 But anyway, here's Mark Carney. 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:27.250 And when the Americans stopped doing memes, stopped throw in shade, 0:13:27.790 --> 0:13:31.100 stop trying to be tough, and start being serious about 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:34.640 having those discussions, we can have those discussions. But it's 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:38.250 not constructive, but that's their democracy. 0:13:39.130 --> 0:13:41.050 It's hard to pay attention to the guy unless there's 0:13:41.130 --> 0:13:41.930 music behind him. 0:13:43.910 --> 0:13:49.050 And when the Americans stop doing memes, stop... thrown shade, 0:13:49.570 --> 0:13:52.929 stop trying to be tough, and start being serious about 0:13:52.970 --> 0:13:56.830 having those discussions. We can have those discussions, but it's 0:13:56.910 --> 0:13:58.290 not constructive. 0:13:58.309 --> 0:14:00.580 That's their democracy. 0:14:01.260 --> 0:14:04.040 I believe the humor there with Trump accompanying him on 0:14:04.100 --> 0:14:08.860 the recorder, whatever that thing is. So it's like that 0:14:08.900 --> 0:14:09.620 he's a whiner. 0:14:10.100 --> 0:14:11.979 Is Trump up on the corner of the video playing 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:13.490 that instrument? 0:14:13.590 --> 0:14:14.230 Something like that. 0:14:14.290 --> 0:14:14.710 I don't know. 0:14:15.290 --> 0:14:16.970 Hanson was trying to tell me what he was speaking 0:14:17.010 --> 0:14:24.860 in riddles. Anyway, so Besant suggested that Prime Minister Carney 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:27.720 was to blame for the current political shouting match between 0:14:27.740 --> 0:14:30.280 the two countries because the keeping the fight alive was 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:32.350 good for his poll numbers. 0:14:32.370 --> 0:14:33.490 Yeah. 0:14:34.180 --> 0:14:37.260 Let's see. He was asked if his country is in 0:14:37.300 --> 0:14:39.300 a trade war with Canada, and Besson said, well, I 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:41.200 don't think you can be in a tit-for-tat with someone 0:14:41.220 --> 0:14:43.840 that's 13 times larger than you are. I mean, we're 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:45.540 not at war with Canada. How are we going to 0:14:45.590 --> 0:14:47.210 be at war with Canada? What, are they going to 0:14:47.250 --> 0:14:50.170 take their two submarines from the Edmonton Mall and sick 0:14:50.210 --> 0:14:53.830 them on us? Oh, that's not helping. 0:14:53.990 --> 0:14:54.450 No. 0:14:55.190 --> 0:14:59.070 That's the throwing shade part. Why are we picking fights 0:14:59.110 --> 0:15:02.650 with our closest allies? Explain to me how that helps anything. 0:15:04.130 --> 0:15:04.610 Yeah. 0:15:04.730 --> 0:15:05.190 Lord. 0:15:05.210 --> 0:15:13.460 I came across this. Trump said this yesterday. 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:13.760 I don't. 0:15:15.220 --> 0:15:17.200 Know if I can find it real quick, but it 0:15:17.260 --> 0:15:20.360 was about how much money, how much money we'll save 0:15:20.460 --> 0:15:24.850 by winning this trade war. And most economists don't seem 0:15:24.890 --> 0:15:26.229 to think that that is accurate. 0:15:27.410 --> 0:15:30.340 Well, he's had like three different pretexts for why we 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:34.500 need to hammer Canada. First, it was the laughable fentanyl claim. 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:37.920 And then it was something else. And now it's that 0:15:38.060 --> 0:15:40.040 we have a trade imbalance. That's because we buy their 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:42.479 oil because it's good oil for us to refine. 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:43.860 We don't need their product. 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:45.800 So if we cut off trade with that country, we 0:15:45.820 --> 0:15:48.490 just made $ 40 billion. You do a few countries like 0:15:48.500 --> 0:15:50.130 that and we become a big money machine. 0:15:52.710 --> 0:15:55.430 A number of economists have reacted that saying that's not 0:15:55.470 --> 0:15:56.130 the way it works. 0:15:57.370 --> 0:16:02.690 Yeah. Carney pulled Canada's negotiating team in late August after 0:16:02.730 --> 0:16:05.580 the U.S. team introduced, quote, last-minute changes that the government 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:08.920 deemed unfair and uneconomic. He is a punk, by the way, Carney. 0:16:08.940 --> 0:16:11.000 He's a waste of skin. He shouldn't be in office. 0:16:11.180 --> 0:16:12.760 A waste of skin? That's an insult. 0:16:12.780 --> 0:16:13.160 You heard me. 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:19.130 Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Manitoba Premier Wah Bikinu have 0:16:19.170 --> 0:16:21.670 both pushed back against Trump, with Ford inviting the U.S. 0:16:21.710 --> 0:16:23.980 president to, quote, kiss my ass. We remember that one. 0:16:24.540 --> 0:16:28.120 And Mr. Kinu comparing Trump to an over-the-hill band playing 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:32.640 out their last days in a casino, which, as shots go, 0:16:32.980 --> 0:16:34.020 is a pretty good shot. 0:16:35.820 --> 0:16:36.280 Yeah. 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:36.840 All right. 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:42.330 All right. Yeah. And then Besant said, I think it's 0:16:42.350 --> 0:16:45.590 very unfortunate that Prime Minister Carney has turned this into 0:16:45.630 --> 0:16:48.390 a political shouting match. He came to power on an anti-American, 0:16:48.430 --> 0:16:51.150 anti-Trump agenda. That's true. He was 20 points behind in 0:16:51.170 --> 0:16:53.650 the polls, and then he started this. No, Trump started it. 0:16:54.450 --> 0:16:58.460 All right. All right. I'm sick of this. I don't 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:02.140 think we're a little tense at the big G20 finance 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:06.200 ministers pre-meeting in Asheville, North Carolina. I guess, by the way, pretty, 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:10.420 pretty snipey among us and our allies. So I pay. 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:12.649 Very little attention to the trade wars. I pay a 0:17:12.730 --> 0:17:13.910 ton of attention to the. 0:17:13.910 --> 0:17:15.170 Actual war wars. 0:17:16.390 --> 0:17:21.510 Russia, Ukraine, us and Iran, hopefully not China and anyone, 0:17:21.550 --> 0:17:22.330 anybody soon. 0:17:22.710 --> 0:17:24.490 I don't think you were here last week when I 0:17:24.510 --> 0:17:28.449 was talking about this think tank guy I. 0:17:29.950 --> 0:17:32.270 Was listening to making the. 0:17:32.310 --> 0:17:37.129 Point at people who talk about Iran, Russia, and China 0:17:37.190 --> 0:17:38.380 as being kind of an axis. 0:17:38.430 --> 0:17:40.160 And then some people say, well, they're not really. 0:17:41.220 --> 0:17:46.620 They are working together more in these wars than Japan 0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:49.659 and Germany and Italy ever worked together during World War II. 0:17:50.450 --> 0:17:53.350 That's an interesting way to put it, especially with the 0:17:53.410 --> 0:17:56.580 news that came out yesterday. Well, you saw the president 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:59.320 of Russia sitting down with the president of Iran and 0:17:59.380 --> 0:18:01.420 Russia saying, we'll do whatever we can to help you. 0:18:01.820 --> 0:18:05.310 And then a news story broke that they're supplying them 0:18:05.350 --> 0:18:10.230 with some super fancy missile technology and everything like that. 0:18:10.830 --> 0:18:15.350 These countries are working together, China, Russia and Iran, in 0:18:15.390 --> 0:18:16.510 a way that's very troubling. 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:21.290 And Russia is lashing out at Europe for their military 0:18:21.310 --> 0:18:24.990 and financial support of Ukraine through these gray zone attacks, 0:18:25.050 --> 0:18:28.050 cyber attacks, mysterious bombings, that sort of thing. That sort 0:18:28.090 --> 0:18:29.450 of thing could easily spread. 0:18:29.850 --> 0:18:31.270 And we're going to talk to Mike Lyons a little 0:18:31.290 --> 0:18:33.230 bit about all this coming up in just a moment. 0:18:33.590 --> 0:18:33.890 Stay tuned. 0:18:35.710 --> 0:18:36.919 Armstrong and Getty. 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:42.340 The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:48.360 The United States unleashing a series of airstrikes against southwestern 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:52.920 Iran overnight. According to CENTCOM, a variety of IRGC targets 0:18:53.220 --> 0:18:57.450 were hit, including air defense sites, radar systems, maritime assets, 0:18:57.790 --> 0:19:01.869 mine laying capabilities, and communication sites. President Trump told Fox 0:19:01.910 --> 0:19:04.850 News overnight, if they do respond, they'll be hit much harder. 0:19:05.070 --> 0:19:07.270 This is a very big hit today. If it goes 0:19:07.330 --> 0:19:09.570 a third time, they're going to be totally wiped out 0:19:09.670 --> 0:19:10.270 as a country. 0:19:10.630 --> 0:19:13.910 And then you got the... President of Iran sitting down 0:19:13.950 --> 0:19:19.320 with the president of Russia, Putin, yesterday, sitting together, doing 0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:23.720 a little news thing. And Putin said, we stand with 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:28.950 Iran in support and specifically said that they're going to 0:19:29.390 --> 0:19:31.790 work very closely with them in trying to beef up 0:19:31.830 --> 0:19:32.990 their air defense systems. 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:38.400 Lovely. So we've both got a narrow focus, a series 0:19:38.420 --> 0:19:41.060 of questions for military analyst Mike Lyons, and we'll go 0:19:41.100 --> 0:19:43.460 a bit broader. But Mike, how are you, sir? Welcome. 0:19:44.650 --> 0:19:44.869 Hey, guys. 0:19:44.890 --> 0:19:45.270 Good morning. 0:19:45.290 --> 0:19:45.930 Thanks for having me back. 0:19:46.730 --> 0:19:50.150 What are your first thoughts on the re-engagement with the... 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:51.740 kinetic action between. 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:52.100 Us and Iran? 0:19:54.460 --> 0:19:57.460 Well, it's still not to the level that is really 0:19:57.480 --> 0:20:01.480 going to matter. It's still, to me, somewhat responding back 0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:04.419 and forth. I think the attack that we made at 0:20:04.460 --> 0:20:07.830 that Lark Island was, uh, you know, a target of opportunity, 0:20:07.869 --> 0:20:10.290 so to speak. It's, it's the main threat of them 0:20:10.770 --> 0:20:13.969 having this capability to use coastal batteries and close in 0:20:14.030 --> 0:20:16.510 weapon systems to knock out some of those ships that 0:20:16.530 --> 0:20:19.770 are going through there. Um, you know, they go after Jordan, 0:20:19.930 --> 0:20:22.150 we use air defense systems to go back. So I, I'm, 0:20:22.470 --> 0:20:24.620 I still don't think we're, we're at that point yet 0:20:24.700 --> 0:20:28.159 where it's, uh, where it's a full on military, um, 0:20:28.260 --> 0:20:28.840 adventure yet. 0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:30.240 Well, good. 0:20:31.020 --> 0:20:34.140 Um, what did you make of, uh, Putin sitting down 0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:36.090
