WEBVTT - Whiz It Out 0:00:02.120 --> 0:00:06.360 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.480 --> 0:00:11.000 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Ketty arm Strong 0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:17.840 and Getty and he Armstrong and Hetty. 0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:30.000 Find out what happened when and you know what orders 0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:32.120 were given. I think all the all the particulars. You 0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:33.519 want to know what the facts are, and then you 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:36.040 want to compare that with the relevant and figure out 0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:43.800 you know, procedurally, you know what's the you know the 0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:46.320 correct lawful way to do things, and determine whether or 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:47.560 not that everything is followed. 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:51.520 Of course, we're talking about the second strike on the boat, 0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:55.000 turns out second, third, and fourth maybe strikes on the 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:57.920 boat off the coast of Venezuela, and whether or not 0:00:58.000 --> 0:00:59.120 Pete Hegzeth. 0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:02.560 Ordit it or not, and exactly what was ordered, when, 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:04.640 by whom, and whether it was legal. It's worth noting 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:06.760 that the voice you heard was Senator John Thune, the 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:08.480 Republican leader of the Senate. 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:12.160 The very last is from the New York Times, citing 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:18.440 five US officials today that Hegzeth called for the original 0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:22.520 strike but did not specify what should happen if survivors remained. 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:25.560 And then Admiral Frank Bradley, who you've now heard his 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:29.240 name a lot, ultimately signed off on the initial strike 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:32.280 and several follow up strikes that killed eleven people. 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:36.360 Okay, interesting to gain a little perspective, we've invited on 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.280 the terrific Mike Lyons, military analyst who is also I 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:42.560 was happy to see writing for Real Clear Defense, including 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:46.200 a great piece about the possible Ukraine deal, which we'll 0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.800 touch on in a minute. But first, Mike, welcome, How 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:49.880 are you hey? 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:51.200 Good one, you guys, thanks for having me back. 0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:53.760 Trust you and the family had a great Thanksgiving? Could 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:56.080 do talk to you? Yeah? I was good. 0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:58.120 I didn't have my son home or my daughter home, 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:00.000 but hopefully well get him a Christmas time at this point, 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:01.040 so we're looking forward to. 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:04.320 Yeah, onto that part of life. Yeah, so, Mike, let's 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:07.040 talk a little bit about your impressions of the you know, 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:10.720 what is known thus far about the alleged targeting of survivors. 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:11.480 What do you think? 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:13.800 Yeah, you know, so I've voided this story for a 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:16.080 while because I just a lot of it as one 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:19.440 hundred percent politics. That video that was released, I guess 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:21.639 you know ten days ago, almost two weeks ago, by 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:26.359 the congressmen and senators over you know, not fine, not 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:29.400 not obeying legal authors. I thought that pierced this veil 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:32.480 between the military and the civilians like I've never seen 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:36.320 before and set this path on to where I think 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:39.120 we are today. And the fact that this mission is 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:42.400 being so scrutinized because I could give you multiple examples 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.680 of previous missions that and people have testified in front 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.359 of Congress about these kinds of double taps that we've 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:51.040 done in the past, but for now it's now reached 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:54.680 this hyperbolic boiling point over what's going on here. 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.120 Well, let's let's make sure we understand what you're saying there. 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:00.040 Are you saying the sort of thing that is being 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:01.519 alleged here happens regularly. 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.799 Well, no, first of all, nobody in the military is 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:08.000 committing war crimes, which is where this has gone to. 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:11.360 It's gone to, you know, we're murdering people that are 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:13.400 hanging off of you know, ship parts in the in 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.560 the Caribbean or the Pacific or whatever the mission was. 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:18.519 I mean, you know, it's not like Robinson, Caruso or 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:20.320 Rose hanging off the side of the Titanic here. I mean, 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:24.040 it's insane that we're still having this conversation. This is 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.520 a military target that the initial target was approved legally, 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:32.360 and the target is to be destroyed and destroyed means destroyed. 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:35.920 And so if the first target hits and there are 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:39.480 still survivors and there's still a target in the water, 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:42.640 well those survivors were still part of the original target 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:45.640 to begin with. So they are legal targets as well. 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.280 So so, but this is all about context. It's all 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:51.880 about what, you know, what what people want to view 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:55.040 and they want how they want to see this, And 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:58.640 from from my perspective, it's it's a shame. Now we've 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:02.320 seen the Secretary of Defense throw us over to SOCOM 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:05.480 commander and this addal now will testify in front of Congress. 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:09.560 But these missions go on all the time. They're approved legal, 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:12.240 and once they are approved legal and they start, it's 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:14.119 pretty hard to bring that health fire missile back. 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.480 So there's a pretty good history, including the Nuremberg Trials, 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:23.200 of prosecutions for targeting survivors of an attack on a 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:26.239 ship who no longer posed any threat. Are you saying 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:28.520 this doesn't apply here or that's wrong or what? 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:31.040 Yeah, I don't know enough about it. I'd have to 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.920 see a lot more. But sure, we're not going to 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:39.840 target sole survivors waving their hands in the water, let's say, right, 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:42.159 especially with the health fire missile, and again I don't 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:45.880 know what visual is on them, and we're with seal 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:48.160 Teams six close to them. I mean, there's just so 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:51.160 much information that needs to come out that would figure 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:54.320 out whether or not. I mean, I saw this one 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:57.839 report that said maybe they thought that there was another 0:04:57.880 --> 0:04:59.680 boat in the area and this boat could have came 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.640 and picked up some of the cargo of this ship. 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:04.600 I don't know. Again, I haven't seen the battle damage 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:07.479 assessment or anything, but all I know is that so 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:11.440 many different opinions are being layered into this contextually that 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:16.200 is now clouded it to the point of we don't 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:20.080 it's going to get this mission accomplished. Of stopping what 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.279 they're trying to do. I think it's a pure political 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:24.960 situation that Democrats don't want anything to do with what 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.120 Trump is doing in the Caribbean. I think he needs 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.240 to say what that strategy is. I still don't know 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.480 what that is as well, but this is not the 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:33.960 way to do it, to use the military, because basically, 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.479 if he's going to accuse hex at about war crime. 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:38.200 If you're going to accuse him of war crime, you're 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:40.000 acusing everybody to pull the trailer all the way down 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:41.400 to who fired that missile? 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.000 Okay, just for the record, obviously, you know, we're not 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:46.920 engaging in hyperbole or trying to cloud new waters. In fact, 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.160 we're trying to do just the opposite and help people 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:52.000 understand what are the actual issues going on here. 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:54.279 Yeah, so yeah, no, I don't think you are. This 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.720 is again I avoided this just for this reason. I 0:05:56.760 --> 0:06:00.159 think it's more political. I think it's a shame that 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:03.480 we're at this place that now the military is going 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:05.800 to be questioned about this going forward, We're going to 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:10.120 drag this admiral and into this political hearing, and this 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:13.480 is all about getting secretary heccess, frankly from my perspective 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.440 and interesting. So it just just seems too close to 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.000 the video that was released ten days ago to have 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:20.400 this situation come up right now. 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:23.520 Yeah, we wondered about that yesterday. The timing seems pretty 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:24.560 suspicious exactly. 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:28.120 And then the initial Washington Post article now has proven wrong. 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:30.760 When the New York Times is throwing the Washington Post 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.000 off under the bus over there, then you know something 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:33.839 is up, so. 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:36.440 Is your take, And I just want to make sure 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:40.839 completely understand what you're saying is that we are entering 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:45.200 into getting way too loyally on this sort of thing, 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.880 or much more lawyerly than we usually are in reality, 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:51.159 you know, in a war situation. 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:54.919 Well, my take is that I think they decided that 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:59.880 these are legal targets, and they are the military targets 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.559 as they've been declared narco terrorists and enemies of the state, 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:09.479 and each one is evaluated separately with regard to how 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:10.800 they're going to take it out and what they want 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:13.240 to do, and what the definition of destroyed means. And 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:17.080 I think that once the initial shot was fired then 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.960 and if that was determined legal, then any shot fired 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:24.480 after it is determined legal as well. Again, I got 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:26.720 to think there's not a video and audio of Haigs 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:28.920 that's standing up saying kill them all and all these 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:30.760 other things that are coming out of this. I mean, 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.320 it's just not the case that the people, you know, 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:35.200 I had a chance to talk to some of the 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:37.640 former Jay Sock commanders the last few days, and they 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:40.080 wanted me to reiterate to everybody that the people that 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:43.280 are on these missions are professionals, and they're doing things 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:45.360 exactly by the book. And if they thought for one 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:48.080 second so that was an illegal target or they were 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:52.200 there were survivors, and the fact that they thought that 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:55.120 that the target wasn't destroyed, they wouldn't have fired again, 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:57.120 did Why did in a couple of weeks later we 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.000 turned two people back over to this to the host county. 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.000 What did that happen? Well, they must have thought that 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.200 situation was different from this. I'm sure that will be 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:07.800 explained in the Senate Armed Services Committee. But the professionals 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:10.560 in the military are looking at every single aspect and 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:12.560 there's just no way they were going to fire on 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:13.800 a target that wasn't legal. 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:16.440 All right, well said, we'll wait for more facts to 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:21.760 come out. Now to your piece about the still taking 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.120 shape Ukraine deal, I thought the way you framed it 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:27.080 was so interesting that it's not exactly a peace treaty. 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:30.440 It's more a Korean style armistice or freeze. Tell us 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:30.880 about that. 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:35.280 Yeah, it's a freeze, and you know, you know, it's 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:37.920 a classic trading land for some kind of freedom or 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.320 immediate relief from stopping the war. We all want the 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:44.720 war to stop, but there's no guarantees of what specifically 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:48.240 what that means without NATO being involved. For example, I 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:53.000 still don't believe Russia will accept anything, any peace agreement 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:55.600 or any agreement that they come to right now anyway. 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:58.960 And I'll kind of put this out preemptively because it's 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.440 going to forest United States to try to create more 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.000 leverage at some point. But if they did accept what 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.439 what's currently on the table right now, all it does 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:08.080 is going to set up Round two at some point. 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:10.480 I mean, it's appeasement to try to stop a world 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:12.440 We're you know that nineteen thirty eight. Let's say that 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:14.520 was kind of appeasement to try to keep a war 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:17.400 from happening. This is the flips it on it's head. 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:20.080 It's Korea nineteen fifty three in the same regard. That 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:23.120 will create a DMZ, and we'll create this line, but 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.760 it can always be restarted. And I just don't believe 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.959 this is good for the long term of Eastern Europe, 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:31.440 and I don't think it's in the long term interest 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:32.120 in the United States. 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:34.480 We were wondering yesterday, why would Putin quit? 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.199 If you're a Russia with Russia's goals, would you keep 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:39.920 prosecuting the war exactly. 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.360 Not for one second would I quit. So that's the thing. 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:45.720 And there's the battlefield math has not changed. There's nothing 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.320 differently on the battlefield. In fact, the Russians have caught 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:51.000 up with the Ukrainians when it comes to their drone technology. 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:55.040 It's incredible the fiber optic drones that are being used 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:59.680 right now, and they're tethered, and they're ubquous to the weather, 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:04.520 and and they're not impervious to electronic warfare. You know, 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:06.720 we need to be paying close attention. I know we 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:08.800 are at the military academy this because we've got a 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:11.839 leaf fraud this technology. We can't be satisfied with what's 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:13.640 good enough on the battlefield right now. We've got to 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:15.760 be looking over the horizon and figuring out what it's 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:17.839 going to take, what the drone technology looks like on 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.760 the next battlefield, because because right now it's very very 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:23.040 advanced right now, and the Russians have caught right up 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:24.000 with the Ukrainians on it. 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:26.760 Right and final point on the comparison with Korea, the 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:29.040 thing that bothers me is somebody who's been standing up 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:32.080 for Ukraine is that unlike the Korean deal where you 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:35.040 got your demilitarized zone, but then everybody's armed to the 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:37.839 teeth on both sides of it. Yeah, this is calling 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.760 for Ukraine to more or less disarmed, to weaken their 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:45.120 own military and become a just It wouldn't take ten 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.280 minutes for Putin to violate the agreement and beat the 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:49.960 hell out of the Ukraine, take even more land a 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:51.080 year or two hence, so. 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:54.640 Exactly they would have interior lines. They would take land 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:57.680 that they haven't conquered yet. You know, in Korea we 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:01.920 poured in forty five thousand troops. There's ten thousand artillery rounds, 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:04.160 you know, targeting each other right now, that's a tinderbox 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:05.920 on some level. And we've talked about that and before. 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:10.200 But this, this in particular, would be it would clearly 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:12.840 lead to a round two at some point unless NATO, 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:17.440 for example, provided an air defense umbrella over Ukraine that 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:20.400 guaranteed all missiles coming from Russia would be shot down, 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:22.400 perhaps a no fly zone, although a no fly zone 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:26.040 is technically an active war. But and what are the 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.240 troop where do the troops come from? So NATO has 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:30.120 to be in the game or the or NATO countries 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:31.840 have got to be in the game from a security 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:34.959 perspective or to execute your point, they would roll right 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.800 through Ukraine once this they were disarmed. 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:41.840 Military analyst Mike Lyons will post his piece forrom Real 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.200 Clear Defense at Armstrong and getty dot com. Mike, really 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:46.080 interesting perspective. Thanks so much for the time. 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:48.840 Yeah, great guys, Thanks for having and thanks for having 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:51.120 this kind of conversation. I'm not sure where other people 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:53.240 are having it. And I think it's important to recognize 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:56.720 that our military is professional and not murdering people in 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:58.200 the water. I just think I just want to make 0:11:58.200 --> 0:11:59.000 that that point clear. 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:01.360 Yeah, we probably we'd be better off pandering, but we're 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:03.480 too stubborn to do it. So anyway, Thanks Mike. 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:06.120 Great to talk to you, great guys, great out here. 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:09.959 So do these two things go together, though, that our 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.559 military is professional and we're not in the business of 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:17.880 murdering people in the water, and things aren't quite as 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:22.520 delineated as you think they are in TV shows or 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:24.360 whatever around these issues. 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.120 Well, and to what extent is a drug cartel an 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:31.080 enemy force? And to what extent where are we at war? 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.840 Because that's there's an underlying set of questions before we 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.040 even get to the specifics.

Have 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:07.720 you been into the turmeric or whatever? Pre pregnancy? 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:11.000 I was, but then I kept reading all this stuff 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:14.000 about how it's just they're not regulated and not good 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:15.480 for you, so I steer clear. 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:20.120 Came across this piece from our friends Jason Rantz and Seattle, 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:24.120 who's a terrific radio guy and a good guy. New 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:28.160 independent lab analysis may make every Amazon shopper I think 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:32.960 twice before buying another supplement from the world's largest online marketplace. 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:37.119 A consumer health testing platform purchased forty four of Amazon's 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:41.040 most popular supplements and put them through ISO accredited labs. 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:45.640 The results were alarming. Boy fifty two out of the 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:49.680 forty four failed to meet their label claims for what 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:53.200 were in them, and even more stunning, of those twenty 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:56.080 two that failed to meet the claims, twenty of them 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:59.160 virtually all of them had zero to three percent of 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:03.080 the main ingredient an amount claimed. That means half the 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:07.120 supplements tested were effectively fakes, and many of them contained 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:11.000 none or almost none of what the label promised was 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:15.760 in them. So Amazon's marketplace has become a huge magnet 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:19.840 for low quality, foreign manufactured deceptive supplements selling. But did 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:24.640 they work? They cured the PLACEBA almost right away. 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:27.240 I had quite a conversation with my niece who's in 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:30.160 medical school right now for Thanksgiving about PLACEBIA. 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:31.400 Now I'm all for it. 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:33.440 If I think it works and it made me feel better, 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:35.240 one hundred percent, I'll pay for it. 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:38.640 So the folks who sponsored this, who I believe are 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:44.560 a domestic supplement maker, they discovered that every single overseas 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:49.280 registered supplement they tested failed testing, including six from mainland China, 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:53.480 delivered none of the claimed potency. Plus you get your 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:56.520 opaque seller identities on Amazon. I've fallen pray to that 0:16:56.560 --> 0:17:01.320 once or twice, two third party sellers. Anyway, fuyerviewer go 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:03.720 with known domestic brands. 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:06.439 Yeah, and one thing that I've seen I can't remember 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:11.119 where I saw this report, but these especially the Chinese manufacturers, 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:15.920 will pay people to review the product, so then it'll 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:18.480 show the product is having a higher rating because you 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:22.399 know they've they've obviously planted all these these reviews and 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:23.360 then people purchase. 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:26.800 How about these giant, giant vitamin stores that they have 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:29.120 in strip malls or whatever, those are probably legit, right 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:30.240 if you go into one of. 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:33.640 Those, uh will I would again, I would check the label. 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:40.520 Maybe go with the better known supplement brands. Yeah, I mean, 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:44.720 maybe taking turmeric or whatever the hell is today's hot 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:48.800 hot mineral magnesium a good idea or bad idea, but 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:51.840 you might as well get what you're paying for. Yeah, 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:53.960 and then whiz it out because your body gets plenty 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:58.520 of it just from regular diets like most things. That's correct. Yes, yes, 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:01.000 wiz it out, sweeze it out. 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:04.480 How much time do we got, Michael? We got to 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:07.440 talk about that field goal from last night. Yeah, if 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:09.439 you haven't watched the video, why did they send me 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:10.600 out to kick a field goal? 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.679 That was a mistake. We got a lot of stuff 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:16.720 on the way. I hope you can stay here Armstrong 0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:17.720 and Geeddy. 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:23.520 Forty seven yard trying now by young Way Conny stumbled 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:28.000 Killen gets swallowed up Patriots ball. 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:32.080 I don't think I've ever seen that. Yeah, look like 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:35.480 he just stubbed his foot right into the turf. Here 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:35.880 it is. 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:42.040 There was. 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:45.879 They're laughing. So here's what happened. 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:49.480 The field goal kicker who is like me, he runs 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:50.560 up to kick a field goal. 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:54.879 It's like two feet from the ball. He gets jams 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:59.040 and foot into the ground. Yeah. Yeah, he never contacted 0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:03.000 the ball, come within a foot of contacting. They speaking 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:05.320 as a guy who kicked a thirty five yarder on 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:07.960 the air. I would like to point out that was 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:11.040 a I've never seen anything like that. No, it's just 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:14.120 going through a whole any level of football, not high 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:15.760 school football. No, no, no. 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:18.560 If you do that in junior high everyone would laugh 0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:20.960 at you and they would wonder why did you ever 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:22.360 think you could kick a football? 0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:27.200 Understand again, he planted his plant foot, he swung his foot, 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:29.480 he hit a foot foot and a half behind the ball, 0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:34.719 never even scared the ball, I mean, and the holders like, 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:35.679 what the hell do I do? 0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:35.960 Now? 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:37.600 He picks the ball up and gets the hell beat 0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:38.080 out of him. 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:44.080 I was just going through a whole bunch of social 0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:47.600 media stuff from various NFL players through the years who say, 0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:50.920 I have watched eight million of games, I've never seen 0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:55.359 anybody do that before. Yeah, it's hard to imagine the 0:19:55.440 --> 0:20:00.199 equivalent of it. I mean, like, if you're shooting a 0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:02.080 free throw and you turned around and faced the other 0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:04.000 direction and tried to put it in the other basket, 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:08.120 or are you hitting yourself in the face with it, right, 0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:12.159
