1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 1: The Armstrong and Getty Show. Over the past several hours. 2 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:11,399 Speaker 1: The governor of Chernihiv, that's that city just northeast of Kiev, 3 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: that the Russians conceded that they would be They claimed 4 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 1: that they're pulling back some of their forces from there. 5 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,919 Speaker 1: The governor of that region says that shelling continued in 6 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: that city overnight, and that shelling continued in the outskirts 7 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: of Kiev. Of course, President Zelinski saying that the fighting 8 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: continues in other parts of the country. The shelling continues 9 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 1: in Harkive in the northeast and as I mentioned, in Mariople. 10 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: So that feeds into this skepticism that you know, many 11 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 1: Ukrainians feel that this is just a repositioning of Russian forces. 12 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 1: Is Russia actually backing down from their earlier goals or 13 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: just repositioning and uh, they're lying to the world once again. 14 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: I saw some new drone footage of Mariopal that was 15 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: just incredible. It looks like when the those F five 16 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: hurricane or tornadoes hit a town on just level everything, 17 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: like you can see the foundation. It's amazing. So to 18 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: discuss the question negotiations and a number of other interesting topics, 19 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: please welcome to the show. Major Mike Lions, decorated member 20 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: of American Armed Forces, sought after commentator on cable and 21 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: broadcast networks, etcetera. Mike, how are you, sir? Hey, come 22 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: on you guys. Great to be back. Uh, indeed, great 23 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: to have you. So, given what you have observed from 24 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: the Russian military, the Ukrainian military, the stalemates, etcetera, and 25 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 1: the promises of negotiation and pullbacks, what do you make 26 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: of the current situation, both militarily and diplomatically. Well, first 27 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: and foremost, who cannot believe a single thing that the 28 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: Russia leadership says, not, not in any level. This stuff 29 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: about drawing back out of Kiev, going north to Chernobyl, 30 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: to me, looks more like a reorganization kind of in 31 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: a regroup in order to do a counter attack. They're 32 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: getting away from a very competent guerrilla force that the 33 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: Ukraine military is put together, small units eight to ten 34 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 1: individuals with javelins, with the kind of support that is 35 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: just absolutely wreaking havoc on Russian military units there. And 36 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 1: they've just said enough and so they they've got to 37 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: get out of there now. They're going to give up 38 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: places that they've taken with blood and treasure, which is 39 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: just again unheard of that a guerrilla unit is able 40 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 1: to do this to the Russian military. So what's happening 41 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: up there? I think think it's just kind of a 42 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: reset to try to get those units offline because they're 43 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: doing so poorly in the south. Mariopo remains their primary objective. 44 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: They have to have it in order to kind of 45 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: complete that land bridge that goes from Crimea to the 46 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: rest of the Russian Federation. And and maybe when they 47 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: take that, maybe that starts some kind of negotiation as 48 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: an off ramp or so. But I wouldn't believe a 49 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: word they're saying about scaling back any military operations. Well, 50 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: if it just continues militarily, how do you see this 51 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: playing out over the next weeks, months? How long do 52 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: you think it lasts? I think it goes from months 53 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: and it plays out until Russia says enough in that 54 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: you know, it feels it can say face. Let's say, 55 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: maybe you can try to um, you know, continue to 56 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: pound down the Ukraine civilian but it just doesn't look 57 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: like that's going to happen. And it just gets back 58 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: to that old expression about you can you know pound 59 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: people into submission. But unless you're gonna be successful taking 60 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: it on the ground, it's not gonna work. And they've 61 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: just not been successful with the military units that that 62 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 1: are there. You know, for example, they're they're not able 63 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: to have what's called interior lines in the military, and 64 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,679 Speaker 1: with that are that is is the capability to reinforce 65 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: units within poorly worked operations. All those units that are 66 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: in the north and to the east right now can't 67 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: help the units in the south because there are five 68 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: miles away. They couldn't possibly get units and troops and 69 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: equipment there with any kind of speed or urgency unit 70 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: to affect the battle there. So so Russia has failed 71 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: from a strategic perspective. On the military side, however, they're 72 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: going to claim they're gonna try to claim victory some way. 73 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: And if they claim it by taking that south in 74 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: those cities, along the ball along the Black Seat, and 75 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: maybe that's it. Well, we know you're not just a 76 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: military analyst, you're a student of history, and it just 77 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: seems like surrendering that territory to Russia sets a moral 78 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: and practical example. It's just repugnant, just tough to take 79 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: it does. But what it'll do is it will redefine 80 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 1: now a new boundary, and I think that's what's going 81 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: to be most important. UM. And at least stop the fighting. 82 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: It will stop the killing, so that there's a positive 83 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: aspect to that. UM. But you know, the West is 84 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: going to move in very pretty quickly once it's safe 85 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: to rebuild Ukraine, and that's going to be now hard 86 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: border between you know, Russia and the rest of the world. 87 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: And let's hope that Europe and the rest of the 88 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: world now creates the pride that Russia needs to be 89 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: and doesn't do business with them. I mean, again, there 90 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: was no deterrence to keep Russia from invading Ukraine. This 91 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: whole liberal idea of these countries getting together and if 92 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: we're all tied together economically, they won't wage war on 93 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: each other. It just didn't work out here. The Germans 94 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: now we're gonna look for different ways to to supplement 95 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: their energy. They're not going to buy from Russia anymore. 96 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 1: And now Russia will get it from someplace south to 97 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 1: India and China. But but the bottom line is, I 98 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: think they've got to really do a tremendous job isolating 99 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: Russia for a long time for years until their leadership changes. Uh. 100 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: New York Times is talking about the question they're asking 101 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,799 Speaker 1: in the Pentagon is, how did we misjudge the Russian 102 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: military so badly? Do you have any idea? Yeah, a 103 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: couple of reasons. First of all, it's not in our 104 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: interest to over you know, to undersell what they are, 105 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: because that doesn't buy us weapons and the Pentagon that 106 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: you know, so so we have to make sure that 107 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: we overestimate what their capabilities are. But all of the 108 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: other factors that went into this, the fact that they're 109 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: using conscripts, the fact they don't have good leadership, the 110 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 1: fact that they've not been able to really do AirLand 111 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: battle or blitz Creeg by synchronizing forces from the air 112 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 1: and the ground. Um. We and they all bring mass 113 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: to the table. They say, at the end of the day, 114 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: they still brought two d thousand troops into Ukraine. And 115 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: that alone that we're watching them throw these troops, you know, 116 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: literally into the fodder and just having them killed for 117 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: no reason. But um, but we're going to continue to 118 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: underestimate our enemies as as a as a matter of fact, 119 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: in order to overestimate our Pentagon budgets. I think that's 120 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: a big part of it. That's interesting. But we all know, everybody, 121 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: I mean, miss miss uh under overestimated Putin. I mean, 122 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: we all had this view of him being this crafty 123 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: KGB genius three dimensional chess and it doesn't look that 124 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: way at all. Well unless, though, unless his goal all 125 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,799 Speaker 1: along has been the land bridge along the south, along 126 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: the coast, I don't know. Yeah, I think he would 127 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: have liked, you know, to take keep change the government 128 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: and thought that possibly was going to happen, and and 129 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: given the distances, I would have thought that they would 130 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: have been more successful in the north. They were, they 131 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: were prepositioned in Belarus, they had less distance to travel. 132 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: They still couldn't get fifty miles into the into Ukraine 133 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: and take the city or even even really threatened. They're 134 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: only been threatened by the strategic weapons. So there's another 135 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 1: colleagues at the Modern War Institute, John Spencer, who's an 136 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,799 Speaker 1: expert on urban conflict, and we're talking about the Surban 137 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: conflict and I'm like, John, it's not happened yet. We haven't. 138 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: We don't have it yet. All all that they've done 139 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: is surround the city and they're selling it from artillery 140 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: and cruise missiles. That's not really urban conflict yet. I 141 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: would have thought by now you'd have tanks in the streets, 142 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: you'd have fighting, you'd have a lot more things happening 143 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: inside Kiev, and it's just just doesn't happen yet. Well, 144 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: explain to people what a big deal it is. An 145 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: NBC is now saying nine Russian generals have died. How 146 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: how unique is that in the history of warfare and 147 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: heard of? And and that's because these guys are coming 148 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: down to the execution phase of what's happening. And I 149 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: mean they're literally directing traffic. I mean, I guess, I 150 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: mean the fact that they're so close to the fighting 151 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: they are likely being targeted. I want. There's one thing 152 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: we're providing in a way that's not talked about now 153 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: is level of intelligence to the Ukraine military that is 154 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: probably in real time and likely a lot of it 155 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: has to do with where those generals are. As we 156 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: know where they are based on our satellite technology and 157 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: we could read main tags and foxols down to the 158 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: ground there, right, So, so I'm sure that we've passed 159 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: a lot of that information onto the Ukraine military and 160 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: it's it doesn't surprise me that the special forces operators 161 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: within Ukraine, our targets general officers on purpose. Now again, 162 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: the fact that there's have to be so close to 163 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: the fighting just shows you how inefficient their military is 164 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: because you know, they have to feel that they have 165 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: to lead that far. I just just beyond the pale 166 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: to think that they've got to get down and literally 167 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: almost direct traffic on on things that are going down there. 168 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: Major Mike Lions last question for me anyway, Mike, we 169 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: came across some really interesting and troubling analysis of the 170 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: strength of the German forces that we talked about last week. Boy, 171 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: you talk about a paper tiger. They're only one of 172 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: one out of three warships is actually ready to sail. 173 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 1: For instance, what is the state of NATO forces and 174 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: and do you think there's a chance to whip them 175 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: into shape anytime soon? Well, you bring them all together. 176 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: If you're tied all on the bow, it looks big, 177 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 1: and it looks great, and it looks good. The problem 178 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 1: is it's just not in one spot and it wouldn't 179 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: do anything. So let's say he attacked the Baltics and 180 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: they were there, it would take NATO six months to 181 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: muster the force to kick the Russians out of the 182 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: Baltics or to defend or do anything like that. The 183 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: German military in particular, Yeah, the German military in particular. 184 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: The Russians have lost more tanks than the German military 185 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: has operational right now. It's just beyond again crazy to 186 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 1: think how far Germany has gone. And you remember the 187 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: last guy, the last president said, you know, Germany needs 188 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: to step up and get with the program. Well they're 189 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: finally doing it. And it took this threat from Russia 190 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: to do it. And these are two cultures that have 191 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,719 Speaker 1: been at war at some point for the last you know, 192 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: d two hundred years. So it just surprises me over 193 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: this last generation with you know, angling Merkel about their 194 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: reliance on Russian oil. They outsourced their energy to their country, 195 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: and then still now they recognize the fact that they 196 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: could be overrun in fifty or sixty hours. Now again 197 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: the military and the Russian side has shown us that 198 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: they're probably not all that, and you know, and there's things. However, 199 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: Russia has capacity, they have capability to shoot cruise missiles, 200 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: they could land in Berlin and can land in London. 201 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: They could land in Washington d see anytime they want. 202 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: Major Mike Clients Military analyst, Mike, thanks so much for 203 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: the insight. We appreciate it absolutely. Uh. You know, to 204 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: that point, it's been extraordinary to see public opinion in 205 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: Germany change from their you know, naive Unicornian pacifist everything 206 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: will be fine stance to the German people waking up, 207 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: I mean in waking up in huge numbers saying we've 208 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: got to build a military, we gotta be strong. It 209 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: went from fifteen percent to in terms of supplying arms 210 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: to Ukraine in February to now. Meanwhile down the road 211 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: in Poland, I just read enrollment in Poland's equivalent of 212 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: the National Guard. It's a volunteer force of citizen soldiers. Uh. 213 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: Volunteers for that have sept coupled seven times as many 214 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,839 Speaker 1: droves and droves of Polish citizens are saying, hey, train 215 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: me up, get me ready. If you ever need me, 216 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 1: call me. Well, I would hope that would happen. If 217 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 1: that were happening on our border, I would join up. 218 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: You look at you know, you have the ability to 219 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: turn on the TV and see what it's like for 220 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: these people in Ukraine who have lost absolutely everything, maybe forever, Yeah, 221 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: if you're not willing to stand up and fight for that. 222 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: So to a very large extent, I see the countries 223 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: in NATO waking up in a way that's really encouraging. 224 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: Mildly question in the modern world is attention span? Yeah? 225 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: Does that wisdom last? What if a movie star slaps 226 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: a comedian for instance,
