1
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Ketty arm Strong

3
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: and Getty and he Armstrong and Hetty.

4
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: Find out what happened when and you know what orders

5
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 2: were given. I think all the all the particulars. You

6
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 2: want to know what the facts are, and then you

7
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: want to compare that with the relevant and figure out

8
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: you know, procedurally, you know what's the you know the

9
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: correct lawful way to do things, and determine whether or

10
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 2: not that everything is followed.

11
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 3: Of course, we're talking about the second strike on the boat,

12
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 3: turns out second, third, and fourth maybe strikes on the

13
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 3: boat off the coast of Venezuela, and whether or not

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 3: Pete Hegzeth.

15
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: Ordit it or not, and exactly what was ordered, when,

16
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: by whom, and whether it was legal. It's worth noting

17
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: that the voice you heard was Senator John Thune, the

18
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: Republican leader of the Senate.

19
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 3: The very last is from the New York Times, citing

20
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 3: five US officials today that Hegzeth called for the original

21
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 3: strike but did not specify what should happen if survivors remained.

22
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 3: And then Admiral Frank Bradley, who you've now heard his

23
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 3: name a lot, ultimately signed off on the initial strike

24
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 3: and several follow up strikes that killed eleven people.

25
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: Okay, interesting to gain a little perspective, we've invited on

26
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: the terrific Mike Lyons, military analyst who is also I

27
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: was happy to see writing for Real Clear Defense, including

28
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: a great piece about the possible Ukraine deal, which we'll

29
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: touch on in a minute. But first, Mike, welcome, How

30
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: are you hey?

31
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 4: Good one, you guys, thanks for having me back.

32
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: Trust you and the family had a great Thanksgiving? Could

33
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: do talk to you? Yeah? I was good.

34
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 4: I didn't have my son home or my daughter home,

35
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 4: but hopefully well get him a Christmas time at this point,

36
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 4: so we're looking forward to.

37
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, onto that part of life. Yeah, so, Mike, let's

38
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about your impressions of the you know,

39
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: what is known thus far about the alleged targeting of survivors.

40
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: What do you think?

41
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, so I've voided this story for a

42
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 4: while because I just a lot of it as one

43
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 4: hundred percent politics. That video that was released, I guess

44
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 4: you know ten days ago, almost two weeks ago, by

45
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 4: the congressmen and senators over you know, not fine, not

46
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 4: not obeying legal authors. I thought that pierced this veil

47
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 4: between the military and the civilians like I've never seen

48
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 4: before and set this path on to where I think

49
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 4: we are today. And the fact that this mission is

50
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 4: being so scrutinized because I could give you multiple examples

51
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 4: of previous missions that and people have testified in front

52
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 4: of Congress about these kinds of double taps that we've

53
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 4: done in the past, but for now it's now reached

54
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 4: this hyperbolic boiling point over what's going on here.

55
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: Well, let's let's make sure we understand what you're saying there.

56
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 3: Are you saying the sort of thing that is being

57
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 3: alleged here happens regularly.

58
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 4: Well, no, first of all, nobody in the military is

59
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 4: committing war crimes, which is where this has gone to.

60
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 4: It's gone to, you know, we're murdering people that are

61
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 4: hanging off of you know, ship parts in the in

62
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 4: the Caribbean or the Pacific or whatever the mission was.

63
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, it's not like Robinson, Caruso or

64
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 4: Rose hanging off the side of the Titanic here. I mean,

65
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 4: it's insane that we're still having this conversation. This is

66
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 4: a military target that the initial target was approved legally,

67
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 4: and the target is to be destroyed and destroyed means destroyed.

68
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 4: And so if the first target hits and there are

69
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 4: still survivors and there's still a target in the water,

70
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 4: well those survivors were still part of the original target

71
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 4: to begin with. So they are legal targets as well.

72
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 4: So so, but this is all about context. It's all

73
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 4: about what, you know, what what people want to view

74
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 4: and they want how they want to see this, And

75
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 4: from from my perspective, it's it's a shame. Now we've

76
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 4: seen the Secretary of Defense throw us over to SOCOM

77
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 4: commander and this addal now will testify in front of Congress.

78
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 4: But these missions go on all the time. They're approved legal,

79
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 4: and once they are approved legal and they start, it's

80
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 4: pretty hard to bring that health fire missile back.

81
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: So there's a pretty good history, including the Nuremberg Trials,

82
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: of prosecutions for targeting survivors of an attack on a

83
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,239
Speaker 1: ship who no longer posed any threat. Are you saying

84
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: this doesn't apply here or that's wrong or what?

85
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know enough about it. I'd have to

86
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 4: see a lot more. But sure, we're not going to

87
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 4: target sole survivors waving their hands in the water, let's say, right,

88
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 4: especially with the health fire missile, and again I don't

89
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 4: know what visual is on them, and we're with seal

90
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 4: Teams six close to them. I mean, there's just so

91
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 4: much information that needs to come out that would figure

92
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 4: out whether or not. I mean, I saw this one

93
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 4: report that said maybe they thought that there was another

94
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 4: boat in the area and this boat could have came

95
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 4: and picked up some of the cargo of this ship.

96
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 4: I don't know. Again, I haven't seen the battle damage

97
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 4: assessment or anything, but all I know is that so

98
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 4: many different opinions are being layered into this contextually that

99
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 4: is now clouded it to the point of we don't

100
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 4: it's going to get this mission accomplished. Of stopping what

101
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 4: they're trying to do. I think it's a pure political

102
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 4: situation that Democrats don't want anything to do with what

103
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 4: Trump is doing in the Caribbean. I think he needs

104
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 4: to say what that strategy is. I still don't know

105
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 4: what that is as well, but this is not the

106
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 4: way to do it, to use the military, because basically,

107
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 4: if he's going to accuse hex at about war crime.

108
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 4: If you're going to accuse him of war crime, you're

109
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 4: acusing everybody to pull the trailer all the way down

110
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 4: to who fired that missile?

111
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: Okay, just for the record, obviously, you know, we're not

112
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: engaging in hyperbole or trying to cloud new waters. In fact,

113
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 1: we're trying to do just the opposite and help people

114
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: understand what are the actual issues going on here.

115
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, so yeah, no, I don't think you are. This

116
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 4: is again I avoided this just for this reason. I

117
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 4: think it's more political. I think it's a shame that

118
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 4: we're at this place that now the military is going

119
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 4: to be questioned about this going forward, We're going to

120
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 4: drag this admiral and into this political hearing, and this

121
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 4: is all about getting secretary heccess, frankly from my perspective

122
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 4: and interesting. So it just just seems too close to

123
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 4: the video that was released ten days ago to have

124
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 4: this situation come up right now.

125
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, we wondered about that yesterday. The timing seems pretty

126
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 3: suspicious exactly.

127
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 4: And then the initial Washington Post article now has proven wrong.

128
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 4: When the New York Times is throwing the Washington Post

129
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 4: off under the bus over there, then you know something

130
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 4: is up, so.

131
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 3: Is your take, And I just want to make sure

132
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 3: completely understand what you're saying is that we are entering

133
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 3: into getting way too loyally on this sort of thing,

134
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 3: or much more lawyerly than we usually are in reality,

135
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 3: you know, in a war situation.

136
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 4: Well, my take is that I think they decided that

137
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 4: these are legal targets, and they are the military targets

138
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,559
Speaker 4: as they've been declared narco terrorists and enemies of the state,

139
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 4: and each one is evaluated separately with regard to how

140
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 4: they're going to take it out and what they want

141
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 4: to do, and what the definition of destroyed means. And

142
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 4: I think that once the initial shot was fired then

143
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 4: and if that was determined legal, then any shot fired

144
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 4: after it is determined legal as well. Again, I got

145
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 4: to think there's not a video and audio of Haigs

146
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 4: that's standing up saying kill them all and all these

147
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 4: other things that are coming out of this. I mean,

148
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 4: it's just not the case that the people, you know,

149
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 4: I had a chance to talk to some of the

150
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 4: former Jay Sock commanders the last few days, and they

151
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 4: wanted me to reiterate to everybody that the people that

152
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 4: are on these missions are professionals, and they're doing things

153
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 4: exactly by the book. And if they thought for one

154
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 4: second so that was an illegal target or they were

155
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 4: there were survivors, and the fact that they thought that

156
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 4: that the target wasn't destroyed, they wouldn't have fired again,

157
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 4: did Why did in a couple of weeks later we

158
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 4: turned two people back over to this to the host county.

159
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 4: What did that happen? Well, they must have thought that

160
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 4: situation was different from this. I'm sure that will be

161
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 4: explained in the Senate Armed Services Committee. But the professionals

162
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 4: in the military are looking at every single aspect and

163
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 4: there's just no way they were going to fire on

164
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 4: a target that wasn't legal.

165
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: All right, well said, we'll wait for more facts to

166
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: come out. Now to your piece about the still taking

167
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: shape Ukraine deal, I thought the way you framed it

168
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: was so interesting that it's not exactly a peace treaty.

169
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: It's more a Korean style armistice or freeze. Tell us

170
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: about that.

171
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a freeze, and you know, you know, it's

172
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 4: a classic trading land for some kind of freedom or

173
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 4: immediate relief from stopping the war. We all want the

174
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 4: war to stop, but there's no guarantees of what specifically

175
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 4: what that means without NATO being involved. For example, I

176
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 4: still don't believe Russia will accept anything, any peace agreement

177
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 4: or any agreement that they come to right now anyway.

178
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 4: And I'll kind of put this out preemptively because it's

179
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 4: going to forest United States to try to create more

180
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 4: leverage at some point. But if they did accept what

181
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 4: what's currently on the table right now, all it does

182
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 4: is going to set up Round two at some point.

183
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 4: I mean, it's appeasement to try to stop a world

184
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 4: We're you know that nineteen thirty eight. Let's say that

185
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 4: was kind of appeasement to try to keep a war

186
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 4: from happening. This is the flips it on it's head.

187
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 4: It's Korea nineteen fifty three in the same regard. That

188
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 4: will create a DMZ, and we'll create this line, but

189
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 4: it can always be restarted. And I just don't believe

190
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 4: this is good for the long term of Eastern Europe,

191
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 4: and I don't think it's in the long term interest

192
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 4: in the United States.

193
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: We were wondering yesterday, why would Putin quit?

194
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 3: If you're a Russia with Russia's goals, would you keep

195
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 3: prosecuting the war exactly.

196
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 4: Not for one second would I quit. So that's the thing.

197
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 4: And there's the battlefield math has not changed. There's nothing

198
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 4: differently on the battlefield. In fact, the Russians have caught

199
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 4: up with the Ukrainians when it comes to their drone technology.

200
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 4: It's incredible the fiber optic drones that are being used

201
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 4: right now, and they're tethered, and they're ubquous to the weather,

202
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 4: and and they're not impervious to electronic warfare. You know,

203
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 4: we need to be paying close attention. I know we

204
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 4: are at the military academy this because we've got a

205
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 4: leaf fraud this technology. We can't be satisfied with what's

206
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 4: good enough on the battlefield right now. We've got to

207
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 4: be looking over the horizon and figuring out what it's

208
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 4: going to take, what the drone technology looks like on

209
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 4: the next battlefield, because because right now it's very very

210
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 4: advanced right now, and the Russians have caught right up

211
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 4: with the Ukrainians on it.

212
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: Right and final point on the comparison with Korea, the

213
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: thing that bothers me is somebody who's been standing up

214
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: for Ukraine is that unlike the Korean deal where you

215
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: got your demilitarized zone, but then everybody's armed to the

216
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 1: teeth on both sides of it. Yeah, this is calling

217
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: for Ukraine to more or less disarmed, to weaken their

218
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: own military and become a just It wouldn't take ten

219
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: minutes for Putin to violate the agreement and beat the

220
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: hell out of the Ukraine, take even more land a

221
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: year or two hence, so.

222
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 4: Exactly they would have interior lines. They would take land

223
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 4: that they haven't conquered yet. You know, in Korea we

224
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 4: poured in forty five thousand troops. There's ten thousand artillery rounds,

225
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 4: you know, targeting each other right now, that's a tinderbox

226
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 4: on some level. And we've talked about that and before.

227
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 4: But this, this in particular, would be it would clearly

228
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 4: lead to a round two at some point unless NATO,

229
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 4: for example, provided an air defense umbrella over Ukraine that

230
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 4: guaranteed all missiles coming from Russia would be shot down,

231
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 4: perhaps a no fly zone, although a no fly zone

232
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 4: is technically an active war. But and what are the

233
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 4: troop where do the troops come from? So NATO has

234
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 4: to be in the game or the or NATO countries

235
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 4: have got to be in the game from a security

236
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 4: perspective or to execute your point, they would roll right

237
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 4: through Ukraine once this they were disarmed.

238
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: Military analyst Mike Lyons will post his piece forrom Real

239
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: Clear Defense at Armstrong and getty dot com. Mike, really

240
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: interesting perspective. Thanks so much for the time.

241
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, great guys, Thanks for having and thanks for having

242
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 4: this kind of conversation. I'm not sure where other people

243
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 4: are having it. And I think it's important to recognize

244
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 4: that our military is professional and not murdering people in

245
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 4: the water. I just think I just want to make

246
00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 4: that that point clear.

247
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, we probably we'd be better off pandering, but we're

248
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: too stubborn to do it. So anyway, Thanks Mike.

249
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 4: Great to talk to you, great guys, great out here.

250
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 3: So do these two things go together, though, that our

251
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 3: military is professional and we're not in the business of

252
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 3: murdering people in the water, and things aren't quite as

253
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 3: delineated as you think they are in TV shows or

254
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 3: whatever around these issues.

255
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: Well, and to what extent is a drug cartel an

256
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: enemy force? And to what extent where are we at war?

257
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: Because that's there's an underlying set of questions before we

258
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: even get to the specifics. But a quick word from

00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 5: I was, but then I kept reading all this stuff

311
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 5: about how it's just they're not regulated and not good

312
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 5: for you, so I steer clear.

313
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: Came across this piece from our friends Jason Rantz and Seattle,

314
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: who's a terrific radio guy and a good guy. New

315
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: independent lab analysis may make every Amazon shopper I think

316
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: twice before buying another supplement from the world's largest online marketplace.

317
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,119
Speaker 1: A consumer health testing platform purchased forty four of Amazon's

318
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: most popular supplements and put them through ISO accredited labs.

319
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: The results were alarming. Boy fifty two out of the

320
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: forty four failed to meet their label claims for what

321
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: were in them, and even more stunning, of those twenty

322
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: two that failed to meet the claims, twenty of them

323
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: virtually all of them had zero to three percent of

324
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: the main ingredient an amount claimed. That means half the

325
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: supplements tested were effectively fakes, and many of them contained

326
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: none or almost none of what the label promised was

327
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: in them. So Amazon's marketplace has become a huge magnet

328
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: for low quality, foreign manufactured deceptive supplements selling. But did

329
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: they work? They cured the PLACEBA almost right away.

330
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 3: I had quite a conversation with my niece who's in

331
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 3: medical school right now for Thanksgiving about PLACEBIA.

332
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: Now I'm all for it.

333
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 3: If I think it works and it made me feel better,

334
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 3: one hundred percent, I'll pay for it.

335
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: So the folks who sponsored this, who I believe are

336
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: a domestic supplement maker, they discovered that every single overseas

337
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: registered supplement they tested failed testing, including six from mainland China,

338
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: delivered none of the claimed potency. Plus you get your

339
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: opaque seller identities on Amazon. I've fallen pray to that

340
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: once or twice, two third party sellers. Anyway, fuyerviewer go

341
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: with known domestic brands.

342
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, and one thing that I've seen I can't remember

343
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 5: where I saw this report, but these especially the Chinese manufacturers,

344
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 5: will pay people to review the product, so then it'll

345
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 5: show the product is having a higher rating because you

346
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 5: know they've they've obviously planted all these these reviews and

347
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 5: then people purchase.

348
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 3: How about these giant, giant vitamin stores that they have

349
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 3: in strip malls or whatever, those are probably legit, right

350
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 3: if you go into one of.

351
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: Those, uh will I would again, I would check the label.

352
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: Maybe go with the better known supplement brands. Yeah, I mean,

353
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: maybe taking turmeric or whatever the hell is today's hot

354
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: hot mineral magnesium a good idea or bad idea, but

355
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: you might as well get what you're paying for. Yeah,

356
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: and then whiz it out because your body gets plenty

357
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: of it just from regular diets like most things. That's correct. Yes, yes,

358
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: wiz it out, sweeze it out.

359
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 3: How much time do we got, Michael? We got to

360
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 3: talk about that field goal from last night. Yeah, if

361
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 3: you haven't watched the video, why did they send me

362
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 3: out to kick a field goal?

363
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: That was a mistake. We got a lot of stuff

364
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: on the way. I hope you can stay here Armstrong

365
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: and Geeddy.

366
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 3: Forty seven yard trying now by young Way Conny stumbled

367
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 3: Killen gets swallowed up Patriots ball.

368
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever seen that. Yeah, look like

369
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: he just stubbed his foot right into the turf. Here

370
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 1: it is.

371
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 5: There was.

372
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: They're laughing. So here's what happened.

373
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 3: The field goal kicker who is like me, he runs

374
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 3: up to kick a field goal.

375
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: It's like two feet from the ball. He gets jams

376
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: and foot into the ground. Yeah. Yeah, he never contacted

377
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: the ball, come within a foot of contacting. They speaking

378
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: as a guy who kicked a thirty five yarder on

379
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: the air. I would like to point out that was

380
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: a I've never seen anything like that. No, it's just

381
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 1: going through a whole any level of football, not high

382
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: school football. No, no, no.

383
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 3: If you do that in junior high everyone would laugh

384
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 3: at you and they would wonder why did you ever

385
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 3: think you could kick a football?

386
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: Understand again, he planted his plant foot, he swung his foot,

387
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: he hit a foot foot and a half behind the ball,

388
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:34,719
Speaker 1: never even scared the ball, I mean, and the holders like,

389
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 1: what the hell do I do?

390
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 2: Now?

391
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: He picks the ball up and gets the hell beat

392
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: out of him.

393
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 3: I was just going through a whole bunch of social

394
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 3: media stuff from various NFL players through the years who say,

395
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 3: I have watched eight million of games, I've never seen

396
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 3: anybody do that before. Yeah, it's hard to imagine the

397
00:19:55,440 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 3: equivalent of it. I mean, like, if you're shooting a

398
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 3: free throw and you turned around and faced the other

399
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 3: direction and tried to put it in the other basket,

400
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 3: or are you hitting yourself in the face with it, right,

401
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 3: It's amazing how there was a play like this in

402
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 3: the World Series where somebody dropped a pop fly.

403
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: Basically, how professionals who.

404
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 3: Are the best in the world at it can make

405
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 3: the you know, I am a sucky athlete, thirteen year

406
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 3: old mistake sometimes.

407
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 1: Well yeah, but to drop a fly ball is one thing.

408
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 1: To stand there and have it like go four feet

409
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: away from your mitan that would be the equivalent to this.

410
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure he'll be out trying to explain that guy

411
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: was just cut by another team and he caught on

412
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: with the sucky Sucky Giants. Oh boy boy, I'm like,

413
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: oh the barrel now, I'm just picturing what his teammates

414
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: must have said to him as he was walking back

415
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: to the bench.

416
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 3: Would there be nothing to say? You don't need to

417
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 3: say anything. There's nothing you could say. The guy knows

418
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 3: what he did. His foot hit not even closing the ball.

419
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 3: He probably about broke his ankle.

420
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll tell you. There's one thing you could say,

421
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: hope you catch on with another team, buddy. Sorry, maybe

422
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: Carr's Gonza. That's what I'd have said to him. Car insurance.

423
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 1: You ever thought about that? People need car insurance? Be

424
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: that way to make a living.

425
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 3: Be that guy at Costco that says to people when

426
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 3: they walk by, hey do you have vinyl sighting?

427
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: Be that guy you know if he's got a smart agent.

428
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: He's trotting him out right now with some sort of

429
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: sometimes just swinging miss badly. And that's when you call

430
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: service master or something. I don't know, something escape anything.

431
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 5: Apparently the quarterback was on the sideline, Jackson Darty.

432
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: You could see him lipping in the camera. Oh my god,

433
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: I saw that. I saw that. It was just oh

434
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: my god. He turns and then he turns and says

435
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: what and then the mercifully his said has turned. Yes, Yes,

436
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: you got to lean into it. That's exactly it.

437
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 3: You gotta be on Kimmel tonight, and and you know,

438
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 3: do something ridiculous and become a household name for that,

439
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 3: and you'll make your living pitching various products the rest

440
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 3: of your life. You'll make more then you were ever

441
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,479
Speaker 3: gonna make as a second tier kicker. Right, you need

442
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 3: to become a household name for the worst kick in

443
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 3: NFL history.

444
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: Going turn and ads for one of those divorce lawyers.

445
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: I'm I'm young, ho ku did you did you swing

446
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: and miss on your first marriage?

447
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 3: They get a fair settlement, Jason lawyers bet in a

448
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 3: car wreck?

449
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 1: Right? Why this was a car wreck, wasn't it? And

450
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,479
Speaker 1: they show the tape. Yes, if you've been in a

451
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: car wreck, call Joe good if they fight for you.

452
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 3: We posted that at armstrong in getdy dot com because

453
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 3: you got it. If you haven't seen the video of

454
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 3: the Giants kicker missing that field goal, you think we're exaggerating,

455
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 3: We're not.

456
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: We're we're not doing it justice of how bad that is.

457
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: Missing the field goal hardly is that's really inadequate to

458
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 1: describe what happened. The ball didn't get off the ground.

459
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 1: If I you know, the ball wasn't even juststled. No,

460
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: the ball didn't get off the ground. The ball was

461
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: not assaulted, the ball was not contacted. The ball has

462
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: nothing to do with this. It was not part of

463
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 1: the play. All right, thank god for that. Coming up.

464
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 1: Two things. Number one, it may be the greatest scam

465
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: ever perpetrated in terms of the dollar value, and it

466
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: was perpetrated against the people of Europe. I will explain.

467
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 1: And also this, this is so good. The question and

468
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: who is asking it? The question is if I am

469
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: really turned on by a woman's bare feet? Is showing

470
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: me pictures of a woman's bare feet pornography? And who's

471
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: asking it? The irs? I'll try to get past.

472
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 3: The because I think feet are disgusting and I just

473
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 3: do not under stand people who are turned.

474
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: On by feet. I'm foot neutraled or handy for walking certainly,

475
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: But so I'll just try to ignore that that you're

476
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 1: a freaking weirdo if you're turned on by feet, and

477
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: just accept that some people are. You know, I'm not

478
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 1: going to go too deep in the Getty playbook, but

479
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: a nice foot rob is, you know, it's a nice

480
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: it's a good thing, right al or anti that you

481
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: refuse to indulge their or what I mean, you don't

482
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: have to getting or giving giving. I'd rather not. I

483
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: think feet are gross. Wow wow wow, Katie high Seval.

484
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: You can sigh heavily enroll your eyes, or you could

485
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 1: step up to the mic, your idiot, jack. Feet are

486
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: just disgusting. They should always be covered. Do you look

487
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: at yours every day and go ew keep them away

488
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:54,479
Speaker 1: from people? But the coming up the irs wants to

489
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: know if feet turn you on? Is that porn?

490
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 3: I know somebody I know a woman who became aware

491
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 3: of the fact that one of her male co workers,

492
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 3: if she were if she was barefoot in like you know, uh,

493
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 3: attractive footwear at work, that that male coworker stared at

494
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 3: her feet all the time, oh boy. And it kind

495
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 3: of became people and the people. Other people became aware

496
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 3: that man, oh boy, he's really going to be checking

497
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 3: you out today, Like you know, if she showed up

498
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 3: in open toed sandals of some.

499
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 1: Sort, man, everybody with some sort of quasi lesbian look

500
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: from then on and go hiking boots and sick woolen

501
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: sucks every day.

502
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 3: Because apparently he was obvious about it, that other people

503
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 3: in the workplace were aware that, oh boy, Jim's going

504
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 3: to be staring at your feet today, you know that sort.

505
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: Of Oh that's uncomfortable. Yeah, that's that's terrible. But it's

506
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: well for us.

507
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 3: For somebody who's like in defeat, it's the equivalent of

508
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 3: wearing you know, a tube top or something, I guess

509
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 3: for somebody who's in the battle.

510
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, yes, please, it's not your fault, all right.

511
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: So I will explain that that confusing story coming up

512
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: after a brief break. But our friends at Prize Picks

513
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: want to remind you that Prize Picks is the easiest,

514
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: most fun way to get into fantasy sports. You see,

515
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: all you do is pick two players and you can

516
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: combine sports if you want. Your lineup can have a

517
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 1: basketball player and a football player, for instance, and you

518
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: just pick more or less on the stat projections for

519
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: at least two players.

520
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 3: For instance, did you go more or less field goal

521
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 3: kickers who would kick into the ground three feet from

522
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 3: the ball. I actually don't think they had as an option,

523
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 3: but if they had, you might have done.

524
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: Well. Yeah, the more or less could have been the

525
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:44,959
Speaker 1: ball and move one inch. It didn't anyway. Prize Picks

526

Speaker 1: score free throws, made field goal attempted at even turnovers.

528
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: A couple of players really stack up their free throws.

00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 3: So the whole Pete Heggzeth guys in the Boat second

537
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 3: Strike thing. We talked about it early in the show.

538
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 3: Then we had Mike lions On talking about it, and

539
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 3: we've gotten so many texts about it. We'll maybe get

540
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 3: some of those an hour three. Seems to be a

541
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 3: hot topic for y'all.

542
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess, wow, Okay, Yeah, I'm surprised. I thought

543
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: we dealt with it just plenty, a lot of plenty

544
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 1: and a half. But people are crazy into it.

545
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 3: Fair amount of partisan breakdown, and I think that's true

546
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 3: in the media also, like Mike Lein said that, you know,

547
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 3: there's a lot of Democrats that would just love to

548
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 3: get a scalp with Pete hegseeth having to resign. That

549
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 3: would I've never understood this kind of partisan ship where

550
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 3: if you make somebody from the other party resign, like, Wow,

551
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 3: we've really got them, now, don't I don't understand that?

552
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, what do you think Trump's gonna point AOC

553
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 1: to the post Now He's gonna point another hardcore pro

554
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 1: defense Republican.

555
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't. I don't understand that level of politics.

556
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 3: But anyway, we got that a lot of other stuff

557
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 3: on the ways to hear our three, We're gonna talk

558
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 3: to someone covering the Luigi trial. That scumbag murderer I

559
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 3: did just re saw the video. God, that guy needs

560
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 3: to if we had if we're gonna have a death penalty,

561
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 3: that guy should be executed.

562
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 1: But he's handsome, and some people are unhappy about their

563
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: health insurance, so we should murder young dads, say people

564
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: who ought have he denied the effing vote immediately morons? Anyway,

565
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: So remember when Trump promised to exempt tips from taxes

566
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: to win Nevada. It was a clever political ploy and

567
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: then it was passed into law. This past summer creates

568
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: a number of challenges though, uh, the tax break does

569
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: not exempt tips from taxes entirely, but it's incentive for

570
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: people to earn more of them obviously lost pass and

571
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: people adjust their behavior to them tax laws especially, that's

572
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: one thing liberals never get anyway. To avoid some sort

573
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: of giant economy wide shift of earnings into tips, the

574
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: IRS and the Treasury have imposed some limits. Only people

575
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: who work jobs that have customarily and regularly received tips

576
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: can claim the deduction, like talk show hosts. Exactly, yeah,

577
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: we've started to go fund me. No we haven't anyway,

578
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: so on a list of nearly seventy eligible occupations under

579
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: the IRS list detailed in a proposed regulation in September

580
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: where digital content creators, entertainers and performers and dancers categories

581
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: that are to be a boon for America's sex workers.

582
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: Everybody's thinking, yes, all these tips that I get online

583
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: are now tax free.

584
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 3: Oh, I didn't know what administration. Yes, I didn't know

585
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 3: what you meant by digital content creators. I thought that

586
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 3: those people get tips. You mean only fans people.

587
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: Among others. Yeah, okay, well there's a hell of a

588
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: lot of different digital content, but sure, yeah, but the

589
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: Trump administration then added the tips for prostitution or pornographic

590
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: activity quote unquote would not be entitled to the new

591
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: tax break. Okay, so obviously that was a disappointment, or

592
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: at least or a head scratcher too.

593
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 3: People post, hey, that's some nice fornicating. Here's twenty percent.

594
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 3: I'm disappointed in that fornicating. I'll give you a fifteen

595
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 3: percent tip, but try harder. Well, that's that's how it works.

596
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 3: That's precisely how it works for the online performance.

597
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: You call it. Take for the coins are well, I

598
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: try to understand stories before I launch into them. So anyway, Oh,

599
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: so where were we? Oh? Okay, So people who post

600
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: sexually explicit or even just sensual comments on platforms like

601
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: only Fans where users leave tips aren't quite sure where

602
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: to where this is going now. Performers in the adult

603
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: entertainment industry already face difficulties accessing basic financial services. They

604
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: know idea, but that's another difficulty. It certainly is. But

605
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: nobody's sure how restrictions on pornographic activity would actually work

606
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: because the IRS, like the rest of us, has not

607
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: yet elaborated on which activities it would consider pornographic. It's unclear,

608
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: for instance, whether strippers could claim the tips deductions. How

609
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: about exotic dancers who just lose their top. How about

610
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: those who take off their top in their bottom? Plenty

611
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: of activity, an accountan or tax lawyer could argue is

612
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: merely titillating and not pornographic. Where's the line? How about

613
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: some girl who does yoga in a bikini? How about

614
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: some gal or guy who just shows their feet to

615
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,479
Speaker 1: people who get super turned on by feet. They are

616
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: getting sexual gratification from it, yet is it pornographic? And

617
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: can you deny them the right to deduct those tips

618
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: from their taxes? Ought somebody do yoga and tights and

619
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: giving them tips? You know?

620
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 4: All right?

621
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean I realize you'd like to write some

622
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: sort of ironclad list of what you should be turned

623
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: on by and whatnot and publish that as some sort

624
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: of bible. I find the tax what is porn? Question

625
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: to be more interesting? But whatever? All right? Moving along?

626
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: Perhaps the greatest scam in the history of mankind. The

627
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: people of Europe, those poor bastards. They've all got to

628
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: learn like three four languages. What we've changed subjects? I

629
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: was not dragging. We're on a different subject here, yes, yeah,

630
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: on a different topic. European politicians told their voters, we

631
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: go with this big green energy thing. We'll have green

632
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: jobs and cheap, abundant solar and wind energy, also a

633
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: sharp production in carbon emissions, and the poor Euros, having

634
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: learned three or four languages, got screwed. We're two decades

635
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: in and energy prices have skyrocketed. They've caught their they've

636
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: cut their carbon emissions. Great, yeah, China and India, like,

637
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: that's cute way to go, idiots. Yeah, they've cut their

638
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: carbon emissions by more than any other region, thirty percent

639
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: compared to seventeen percent for US. But listen to their

640
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: energy prices, which you and people who pay high energy

641
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: prices in the US, you think you're getting hosed. Now,

642
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: granted these are national averages, and somebody's getting hosed. That

643
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: does count as pornography if they're doing yoga. I'm not

644
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: sure certainly the US. In the US, we pay and

645
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: this is an average. So if you're in you know, Oklahoma,

646
00:33:56,600 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: it's different than California. You pay eight point one CeNSE

647
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: per kiloodd hour eight cents in the In the UK

648
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 1: they're paying thirty four cents.

649
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 3: Wow a kiloodd hour I that it was crazy high

650
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 3: because of their zero policies.

651
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 1: I didn't know it was that much, so it's quadruple.

652
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: Italy's a little behind that at twenty nine, Germany twenty seven,

653
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: Poland twenties five ish, France twenty one ish. But yeah,

654
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: unfreaking believable. Charles Seacook of National Review. He's from England.

655
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 3: He regularly talks about how much cheaper everything is in

656
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 3: the United States, and people in the United States.

657
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: Don't realize it.

658
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 3: It's just so much cheaper just to live compared to Europe.

659
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, Germany now has the highest domestic electricity prices in

660
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: the developed world. There's also industrial energy prices, which complicates

661
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: this a little bit. Well. The UK is the highest

662
00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: industrial electricity rates. Average electricity prices for heavy industries in

663
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 1: the European Union remain roughly twice those in the US

664
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 1: and fifty percent higher in China. No wonder their economy

665
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: suck and energy prices have grown more volatile as the

666
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: share of renewables increased, so they skyrocket up and down,

667
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: crippling industry, hobbling Europe's ability to attract key economic drivers

668
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 1: like AI, which requires cheap and abundant electricity. They just

669
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 1: got ripped off, defrauded.

670
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 3: So I got a question, Yeah, so is the Trump

671
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 3: administration arguing for more of those places to count as

672
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 3: tips or fewer of those places of activities to kind

673
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 3: of tips like the person doing yoga and stretching on

674
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 3: camera for people who want to watch them do yoga.

675
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 3: Are they trying to get that included or trying not

676
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 3: to They're trying to guess, I would guess they're trying

677
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 3: to minimize the number of people who could deduct tips,

678
00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 3: just for revenue reasons, like any deduction. I thought they

679
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,720
Speaker 3: were going to try to broaden it just to include

680
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 3: as many people as possible, but they already you know,

681
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 3: he's not running for election again, so he doesn't need

682
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 3: to do that again.

683
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: Right right, So now you make these political promises and

684
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: the IRS has to figure out and you know, a

685
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 1: more mundane example of it is, all right, what is

686
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: a work expense? Is?

687
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 3: Are there going to become court cases like trying to

688
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,479
Speaker 3: figure out whether or not somebody's showing their feet?

689
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: If people are turned on, they will have to be right,

690
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 1: A judge will have to decide right, Uh, yeah, unless

691
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 1: the IRS goes super liberal on that sort of stuff.

692
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 1: But yeah, absolutely could end up in court. Wow, I

693
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: have shown one breast your honor, one breast less. Is

694
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: not porn. This is not porn. That is really anatomy.

695
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 3: We get a lot more of the way if you

696
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 3: miss a segment or now or get a podcast Armstrong

697
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 3: and getting on
