1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,240 Speaker 1: Man, if you don't get chills, there's something wrong with you. 2 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: It's one more thing I'm thing, or you're very center state. 3 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're going to play the new military recruiting ad, 4 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 2: which fits in with our buddy Mike Lions, who said 5 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 2: on our show last year sometime they're talking about recruiting 6 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,439 Speaker 2: being way way down, is that they need to bring 7 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 2: back the whole you know, being proud of yourself, be 8 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 2: all you can be. I mean, that's that's what inspired 9 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 2: young men to challenge themselves, not the crap that we're 10 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 2: doing now. But anyway, we'll get to that in a 11 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 2: second before we air that new ad for you. 12 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: It's been too long since we talked to Mike, by 13 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: the way, Yeah right. 14 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 2: We got warn peace going on every freaking day. 15 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,840 Speaker 1: And semi war. This from thee. 16 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 2: This is from the New York Post, which New York 17 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 2: Post is a weird newspaper. It's it's everything from completely 18 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 2: laughably stupid to take that with a grain of salt, 19 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 2: to hardcore news reporting nobody else is covering like earth 20 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 2: chattering news that they get right and nobody else does. 21 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,639 Speaker 1: Right tough reporting because they don't run with the media 22 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: herd in a very admirable way. Plus stewartis fired says 23 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: my booves were too big, or or they make a 24 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: story out of Internet hates blah blah blah, and they 25 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: pick out three tweets and build a story around it. 26 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: I wish they wouldn't do that. Lessens the impact of 27 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: the real news stories. That way, when they say Hunter 28 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: Biden's laptop is real, all the people that dismiss him 29 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: as a tabloid get to ignore it. But anyway, I 30 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: didn't mean to get on that. We got this headline 31 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: from the New York Post three city killing asteroids could 32 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: strike Earth within weeks, generating a million times more energy 33 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: than the Hiroshima atomic bomb. It's a little misleading in 34 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,279 Speaker 1: the headline. While it is true that they could strike 35 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: within weeks, they also could strike a year from now 36 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: or a thousand years from now. They don't have the 37 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: slightest idea, that's the whole point. But in the you 38 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: have no idea would include right now or the most 39 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: sweet meteors of death. Didn't see that come? 40 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, this was in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics the 41 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 2: other day. It turns out there's a whole bunch of 42 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 2: asteroids out there that we don't have the ability to 43 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 2: see until they get quite close. And they've just learned 44 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 2: that for a variety of reasons, they're hidden behind other 45 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 2: planets and gravitational this and all kinds of different things. 46 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 2: But we didn't know that we can't see these pretty 47 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 2: decent sized asteroids. They're not giant giant, but they're big 48 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 2: enough they would leave a crater. 49 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: We killed them in. We called can I have Take two, Michael? 50 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: We call them in viceroids. I'm thinking of a fifties 51 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: horror movie, gliban sci fi movie. 52 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 2: The crater would be two miles wide from these size asteroids. 53 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 2: And again if the power of a million times more 54 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 2: energy than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroschma, so not 55 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 2: a minor deal. If it hits Los Angeles, in fact, 56 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 2: it would kill everyone probably well. 57 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: Then the shockwave from something that could achieve that level 58 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: of destruction would have to level buildings for many, many miles. 59 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 2: So there's no reason to think one's going to hit 60 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 2: like and within a couple of weeks, like the headline suggests. 61 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 2: But there's there's also mathematically no reason that it couldn't 62 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 2: without us seeing it until it was too late. So 63 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 2: that's an interesting development in the world of asteroids. 64 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd say it's hard to know how seriously to 65 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: take this, because that's kind of a staple of tabloid 66 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: publications and websites and the rest of it is an 67 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: asteroid is coming to kill. 68 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 2: You, right, And I got to believe if it was 69 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 2: fairly likely, it would have led other news organizations, as 70 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 2: it would be a pretty big story, right indeed. 71 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: But I think we can all agree that a woman 72 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: forced to leave her field of employ because their breasts 73 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: are just that large is unfortunate and unfair. 74 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 2: So so the Pentagon for quite a few years has 75 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 2: miscalculated in thinking that as they lowered standards and crowed 76 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 2: about lowing standards and became more inclusive to a variety 77 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 2: of lifestyles that would increase recruitment. You've got lower standards 78 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 2: and you're including more people that you used to ban. 79 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 2: It has done the opposite. It has taken a whole 80 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 2: bunch of young men who I mean, this was the 81 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 2: reason I almost I came very very close to joining 82 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 2: the military and high school. I had the recruit at 83 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 2: my house and paperwork holding and as I often say, 84 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 2: I don't even remember why I changed my mind, but 85 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 2: I was going to join the Marine Corps, and it 86 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 2: was all about the challenge of, you know, seeing I could, 87 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 2: if I could do this. It wasn't the oh, I'm 88 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 2: glad they include uh trans people and they've lowered the standards. 89 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 2: That's not what was motivating. It was like I. 90 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 1: Could get to fight alongside a woman with skinny arms 91 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: who can't lift anything. 92 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 2: Or everybody can assume I got skinny arms and can't 93 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 2: lift anything because everybody knows the standards are so low. No, 94 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 2: you wanted to come out of the military having, you know, 95 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 2: feeling like a tough guy, and everybody I've ever else 96 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 2: feel like you're a tough guy because you've got to 97 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 2: be tough to do it. You a tough guy, a 98 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 2: strong guy, a resilient guy, all sorts of stuff, right, 99 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 2: And Mike Clins, who's our military analyst, if you don't 100 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 2: know that, said that's what he thought would bring recruiting 101 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 2: numbers back up, making it seem like a challenge to 102 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 2: young men, which. 103 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: Brings us to this new commercial video. I guess what's 104 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: a commercial these days? It goes viral on the web 105 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: and people see it, so nobody's buying sixty second spots 106 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: for this. Everybody who's watching it because they want to, 107 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: but it was recently put out by the Pentagon. You 108 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: will recognize the voices of Pete Hegxeth and Donald Trump 109 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: in particular. It's ninety seconds long. The visuals are terrific. 110 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: It is as you would expect, men of action and 111 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: high training and capability using the very most awesome, cool 112 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: and advanced tools of war, from attack helicopters to night 113 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: vision gear. Some great pictures of training. It's really beautifully produced. 114 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 1: Visually speaking, here's the audio. 115 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 3: No more distraction, no more electric tanks, no more gender confusion, 116 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 3: no more climate change worship. We are laser focused on 117 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 3: our mission of war five. 118 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 4: We will measure our success not only by the battles 119 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 4: we win, but also by the wars we end, and 120 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 4: perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into. It 121 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 4: go peace through strength. 122 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 3: You look into the eyes of these young Americans who 123 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 3: are giving up the best years of their lives in 124 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 3: a uniform to. 125 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 2: Serve their nation. They are incredible. 126 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 4: Through our power and might, we will leave the world 127 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 4: to peace. Our friends will respect us, our enemies will 128 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 4: fear us, and the whole world will admire the unrivaled 129 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 4: greatness of the United States military. We will replenish the 130 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 4: pride of our armed forces and the recruitment crisis. 131 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 3: We don't fight because we hate what's in front of us. 132 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 2: We fight because we love less behind us. 133 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 4: God bless you, God bless our enforce, You, God bless 134 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 4: our men and women serving overseas, and God bless the 135 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 4: United States. 136 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,119 Speaker 1: I've act. 137 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 2: Much more likely to recruit a young man who doesn't 138 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 2: know what he's doesn't know what his plans are for 139 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 2: the future than the other approach without a doubt. 140 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, by Miles and Miles and Miles. It 141 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: wasn't Churchill, and it might have been Orwell who said 142 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: something similar. But people sleep peaceably in their beds at 143 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: night because rough men stand ready to do violence on 144 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 1: their behalf. Not We'll take anybody and you can see 145 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: interesting places. Right. It didn't work. It's terrible, it's stupid, 146 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: it's woke. 147 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 2: My thirteen year old's pretty hell bent on joining the military. 148 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 2: But he's thirteen, and I know, you know, based on 149 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 2: my story, can change your mind many times before you 150 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 2: get to grown up age. But I highly encourage him. 151 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 2: I think it's a great path. My brother, his uncle 152 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,559 Speaker 2: made a career out of it. My son, my thirteen 153 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 2: year old, who is I've talked about this on the 154 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 2: air a lot. He's he's been like a thirty year 155 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 2: old his whole life. He always has been. And I'm 156 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 2: not the only one who says that. Every doctor, therapy, teacher, 157 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 2: everybody says he's like talking to a grown up. I know, 158 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 2: I don't know why he's that way, but anyway, his 159 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 2: thing is when I after twenty years, you retire with 160 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 2: the pension, I'll only be thirty eight. I'll have my 161 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 2: whole life out of me. That's not the way I 162 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 2: looked at thirty eight when I was a kid. Thirty 163 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 2: eight was you might as well be seventy eight, right, 164 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 2: But that's his the way he looks at it. So whatever, Yeah, yeah, amazing, 165 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 2: but that is true. You put in twenty years in 166 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 2: the military and then get a decent sized check in 167 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 2: healthcare the rest of your life. You're thirty eight freaking 168 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 2: years old. You can do anything at that point. 169 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, you're a young man, you know.
