WEBVTT - Avoid the Harpoon 0:00:02.600 --> 0:00:06.840 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:11.480 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong 0:00:11.560 --> 0:00:13.240 and get Katy and he. 0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:18.000 Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:27.840 We're really trying to develop something that really puts the 0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:30.800 power back into the hands of us and our peers. 0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:33.360 You just drop whatever's on your finger is plenty onto 0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:36.800 the surface of the product, receive a notification to your 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:39.040 phone telling you if that drink is safe to consume 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:42.080 or not. And if your drink has been spiked, your 0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:45.279 live location is immediately sent to your safety network that 0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:46.400 you've connected to the app. 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:49.760 So this is like a litmus test to see if 0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:52.440 somebody drugged your drink when you weren't looking. 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:57.200 Indeed, Yeah, these young one in particular University of South 0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:01.200 Florida grad students Twenty two year old Addison Bounds, former 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:08.240 beach volleyball player. She co founded Laura Armor, a brand 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:11.760 that includes they hope to include bracelets, pendans, keychains, and 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:14.320 maybe phone cases that can alert if a drink has 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.480 been drugged. And again, not only do you get the 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:22.800 positive test, but it immediately alerts everybody in your network 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:26.559 who you designate. Hey, Addison, just got a drugged drink. 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:27.880 Here's where she is. 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:32.000 It's brilliant to me. Love it is it that prevalent. 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:36.479 Having raised a couple of daughters, one who is quite sociable, 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:40.200 it is something they think about and are aware of 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:42.280 how often it actually happens. 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:46.360 I don't know, more than you'd like as a dad. 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:51.320 Well, yeah, once a decade it would be more than 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:52.240 I want as a dad. 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:53.840 Sure. Yeah. 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:55.880 So, speaking of health that we were going through, yes, 0:01:56.280 --> 0:02:01.240 oh yeah, I was watching Fox and Trey says he 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.360 seems to think this report Reuter's had earlier in the 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:08.320 week that China's supplying Iran with shoulder fired eye tech 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:13.640 missiles is a big deal, and Trump was very angry 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:16.400 about it and contacted she immediately saying you better not 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:17.400 be so. 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:22.080 More on that later, all right, looking forward to it. 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.120 So we were working our way through nine things experts 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.639 wish you'd do in midlife to increase longevity. We discussed 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:31.839 at fair length do interval training, run errands with a friend, 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.480 which seems silly, but again, listening to the podcast, the 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.200 last segment Armstrong and Getty on demand. If you missed it, 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:39.720 you ought to subscribe. It downloads automatically, you don't have 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:42.639 to do any work at all. Number Three, eat fermented foods, 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:44.760 and I'm like, what, But they go into a healthy 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:50.519 gut microbiome, which is associated with healthy aging, closely tied 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:52.760 to the immune system, and helps to control inflammation in 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:54.880 the body, which reminds me. I read another piece in 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:58.000 The New York Times about they're discovering more and more 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:01.320 that inflammation, like is not the symptom, it's the disease. 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:06.440 A cancer doctor, a heart disease doctor, and a dementia 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:11.080 doctor got together and realized we're all treating the same thing. 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.120 But nobody's quite sure what to do about it. Because 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:16.639 certain kinds of inflammation are important to keep us alive. 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:21.240 And lord knows, there are companies making billions of dollars 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:24.760 off of poor people who hear about this and say, oh, 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:27.600 I'm going to take this supplement or this barry or whatever, 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.160 and most of them are stealing your money. 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:31.000 But you do what you want. I'll do what I want. 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:34.279 But one of the best ways to care for your microbiome, 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:37.520 for some reason, according experts, is to feed it fermented foods, 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.280 which add more good microbes to the misk the mix. 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:42.600 You could start your day with a bowl of yogurt 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.760 I actually do most days, or incorporate. And which of 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:51.960 these words am I making up? Kimchi, kombucha, kafir, or 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:53.400 sauerkraut in your diet? 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:59.720 Those are all real? I know several more than one. 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:00.920 I think I know three. 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:06.640 Long time sober alcoholics who ended up drinking again because 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:07.320 of kombucha. 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:10.480 Oh really, because it's got alcohol in it? 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:14.560 Oh it does? Or some versions have worth knowing, Yeah, 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:17.480 worth knowing. I didn't know that all right. Number four 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:22.120 lift weights, and they talk about muscle strength, and every 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:24.520 day I just daving off frail. 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.680 Te quick breaking uh. 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:30.800 And interestingly, along with the fairly obvious stuff, along with 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:34.359 it's practical benefits, resistance training causes your muscles to release 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:38.720 signaling molecules called myokines or miokines, some of which helped 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:43.679 tamp down inflammation in the body. So resistance training. Number 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:46.080 five include a little protein in every meal. You don't 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:49.000 need to go crazy, just you need protein. 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:51.920 Taking protein doesn't say how much you should get today, 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.080 how many grams or pounds, or I try to get 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:55.720 several pounds of protein every year. 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:56.800 That's a bit much. 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.560 The general guideline of point eight to one point two 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:02.680 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight. 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:07.360 Marg, I have to do math and kilograms. Oh then, 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.400 myny kilograms I weigh. 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:12.919 That translates to fifty four to eighty one grams of 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:15.520 protein per day for one hundred and fifty pounds adult. 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:21.320 So I don't know some let's see eh. 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:27.360 Number six, take the stairs, which is obviously more than 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.400 just taking the stairs. Experts talk about the importance of 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:33.200 incorporating regular movement into your day to day life, not 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:36.159 just during a dedicated gym session. Says this one doctor, 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:39.320 I wouldn't call it exercise. I would call it physical activity. 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.039 And you can get it in all sorts of ways. 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:45.039 Take the stairs instead of the elevator, walk instead of drive. 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.960 If you do have to drive, intentionally park far away 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.320 from the entrance. Over time, those steps add up and 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:53.080 can make a real difference for your health. This one 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:58.159 I didn't suspect was coming. Get the shingles vaccine, and this. 0:05:58.200 --> 0:05:59.839 Was crazy to man, I haven't done that. 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:05.039 Oh my god, my buddy Austin got the shingles. Jack Seriously, 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:08.000 it was like he was being tortured by Oh my god, 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:11.520 did you get you that tell me my headphones. He 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:15.400 got it because the shingles virus lays dormant in your 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.360 body if you had chicken box as a kid and 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:24.600 can be reinvigorated and cause you horrific torturous pain for weeks. 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:27.080 She don't get it from prostitutes. 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:31.239 Not from prostates, rarely, almost sometimes never from prospets. 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:33.560 That's why I thought it was in the clear. So 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:36.120 get the shingles vaccine. Here's the crazy part. 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:38.799 There's growing evidence that the vaccine to prevent shingles also 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:44.120 protects against dementia, OH, reducing the risk of cognitive decline 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:45.960 by roughly twenty percent. 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:47.839 Wow, twenty percent. 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:52.839 I don't trust every study that bears a little thigh 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:55.360 and gives me the com Hitler look. I like to 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:59.400 see him replicated once or twice. But other vaccines, specifically 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:03.720 the influenzal influenza, new mol cockle and t DAP vaccines 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:07.080 may also offer some benefits. Scientists don't know exactly why 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:09.920 this is, but one hypothesis is that by preventing infections, 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:13.160 the vaccines protect against major causes of here we are 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:16.520 again inflammation in the brain and body. Plus you do 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:19.680 not want freaking shingles, trust me or. 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:22.960 The tea DApp you don't want Uh? I had the 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:26.720 whooping cough which is the p and the tdapp whoop. 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:27.280 There it was. 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:31.800 Make a list of your parents' chronic health conditions. Why 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:35.320 talk to your doctor? Ask which signs or symptoms you 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:37.840 should watch out for and what you can do about them. 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:39.920 Some of them you can't do much about. Some of 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:43.960 them you can. And number nine jack this one loose? 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:48.000 Oh please, the loosest Uh. You're gonna hate this one. 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:52.920 You are, you know, folks, some days it's more. It's 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:54.720 less trouble to just go with them, you know what 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:59.760 I mean? Number nine go to bed at the same 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:00.840 time every night? 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.240 Hilarious. Getting to sleep. 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:06.760 Getting too little sleep is associated with several health conditions, 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:11.720 including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and dementia. Perhaps surprisingly, it's 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:13.240 also linked to a shorter lifespan. 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:15.880 I think I do actually go to sleep pretty much 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:16.760 the same time every night. 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:19.160 It's just always three am and you get up at five. 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.240 It's always later than I had planned, but it's probably 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:23.120 pretty consistent. 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:28.080 Interestingly enough, perhaps most important is trying to stick to 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:32.080 a consistent bedtime. One study from twenty twenty four found 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.360 that sleep regularity going to bed and waking up at 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:36.480 roughly the same time every day was an even stronger 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:40.280 predictor of mortality than sleep duration, which is interesting. 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.120 We had some sleep study while you were on vacation 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:45.720 that was all about that, the importance. 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:47.480 Of having a schedule. 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:50.040 I think most of us have a schedule for getting 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:53.160 up because you get up at the same time every day. 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:56.160 The bedtime is the hard one. But well, I slept 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:59.840 like a baby on vacation. Oh so good. Suck good. 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.679 Anyway, that's your nine things experts wish you do to 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:06.200 in midlife to increase your longevity. We will post it 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:09.000 at armstrong and getty dot com. You might get paywalled. 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:11.520 I do not know which is the hardest. Certainly you 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:17.800 think the hardest one depends who you're asking for myself. 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:19.600 Getting the exercise every day for most people, I. 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:26.400 Mean, uh, for most people probably maybe weight training. I 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:30.079 mean I lifting weights, just resistance training. 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:31.960 I am in the gym every day. 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.320 But one of the main reasons I'm in the gym 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:37.200 every day is I live in a neighborhood that comes 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:40.360 with a gym and it's within walking distance. If I 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:42.760 had to drive across town and park in a parking 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:44.800 lot and go in like every other gym I've ever 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:46.880 been a member of, you don't go near as munch. 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:50.360 So part of it is just the convenience. Speaking for 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:59.640 myself and man, I HU maintaining social relationships, making that 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:04.360 gaining friendships a priority is hard for me because I'm 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:05.439 a bit of an introvert. 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:06.000 I've got it. 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:08.960 I'm practically a zero on that one. So yeah, that's 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:09.800 the hardest one for me. 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.200 Definitely, Should I call a buddy and see if he 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:13.760 wants to, I don't know, I have a bourbon, or 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:16.000 go hit balls or whatever, or or I. 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:20.600 Could just read this book. Yeah, I'm working on it, 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:21.679 working on. 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:25.559 It because I believe the whole social relationships are as 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:28.240 important as like anything you can do as you age thing. 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:28.840 I believe that. 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:30.720 But I will make this clear, those of you who 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:33.120 do it on a regular basis because you love it 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:35.319 and you crave it, you don't get credit for. 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:38.520 That, no, none, zero credit. You're doing it. 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:41.040 Because you like it and you crave it. There are 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:44.520 other people like us. We do not crave it. So 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:47.840 it's not like constantly gnawing at me all day long gee. 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:52.400 I sure wish I could get together with somebody an out. 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:52.680 You know what, not gnawing at me all day. 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:56.040 I have a relationship with that almost exactly the same 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.920 as I and a lot of people have with getting 0:10:59.000 --> 0:10:59.640 in the gym. 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:04.280 I for whatever reason, I have a block. I don't 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:04.840 want to do it. 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:07.040 I feel like, oh, I'm nervous about it, or think 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:08.880 it'd be better just stay at home. I'll just stay 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:12.240 home alone. But every single time I do it, I'm 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:15.880 glad I did it. Luckily, I've created the habit with 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:19.120 the gym. Now, it'd be very uncomfortable to not go. 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:22.120 It would feel very weird.

Roughgreens makes any dog food better. 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:33.480 I hadn't thought about that. 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:37.760 I don't know if ever, but the fact that there 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:40.280 was a time in my life where running an errand. 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:42.880 You'd practically always do it with somebody. 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:47.280 Yeah, and it was way more fun and we're finding 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:48.760 out mentally healthy for you. 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:51.319 Yeah. Yeah. 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:55.480 I was reading the other day about how useful proximity 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:58.920 is and how and this is boy, I can tell 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:02.560 you this is true. Having kids is such a great 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:06.840 social connector. You almost would have to be like a 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:11.679 real angry misanthrope to not mix and interact and meet people, 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:16.240 interesting people, annoying people, as smart people whatever through your kids. 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:18.640 And when that goes away again, if you're an introvert, 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:21.600 it's easier to not do that. But yeah, yeah, I 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.800 look back fondly at that time as a kid and 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:26.319 I get something at the mall. 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.199 You want to come? Yeah, it was the answer, like 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:29.320 one hundred percent of the door. 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:32.720 Right, Yeah, you might go to the DMV together. Right, 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:35.240 So you're gonna hang out and talk to your appointment 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:35.720 or whatever. 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:38.080 Now I'm gonna stare at my phone. I'm gonna doom 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.440 scroll alone. That'll make me happy. 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:45.440 We'll get to the war in Iran. It is expanding again. 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:48.200 Egypt is now involved, and if China actually sends those 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:51.920 rocket launchers, that ain't good. Among other things on the way, 0:13:51.920 --> 0:14:01.959 I stay here, we'll talk Iran here coming up in 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:02.360 a little bit. 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:07.080 Iran bombed. 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:12.480 An installation in Egypt, bringing that country into the war. 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:17.800 Egypt is a top twenty military also, it's a real 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:22.400 country and why Iran would want another enemy with a 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:25.040 real military. I don't quite understand their strategy. 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:29.240 But unless they've gone full apocalypse, let's bring on the 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:30.200 Great Holy War. 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:33.520 Are you following the story of the guy who actually 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:36.080 who slipped and impaled himself on one of his hiking 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:37.920 poles and then had to hike ten miles? 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:40.360 Oh boy, I am now currently. 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:45.120 David Sefaldi and two of his friends had been hiking 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:49.040 for seven hours. That's a serious hike up Montana's tallest mountain. 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:52.520 Just a couple of weeks ago. When he slipped in 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:53.440 a rock and fell. 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:58.800 He saw one of his trekking poles on the ground, 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:00.440 but the second one was never be found. 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:01.920 I've never hiked with the poles, have you? 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:03.520 Uh? 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:06.400 No, I see people doing it all the time. I 0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:08.120 don't they sell them an ARII and. 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:12.120 Ye have snowshoed like that, But no, haven't. 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:16.480 Anyway, all of them which poles, h that's very funny. 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:18.480 So he saw one of the poles in the ground. 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:20.400 He wears my other pole. Then he rolled over. Something 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:23.000 wasn't right. Oh, it's sticking out of me. He had 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:27.000 impaled himself on his pole. The pole was jutting at 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:31.920 an angle into his left latissimus dorsi muscle. Oh, you 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:34.000 don't want that below your arm pit. You know how 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.160 they used the poles. You kind of seen that probably 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:40.080 if you hike. Ever, it went up into his armpit 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:41.160 and out through his back. 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:43.440 Dah. 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:45.840 He said he wasn't in pain and there was no blood. 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:48.560 He was able to take deep breads and could feel 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:52.960 the trekking pole through his skin. He self harpooned, there 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:54.480 was no pain and no blood. 0:15:54.720 --> 0:16:00.880 Go figure. That seems weird.

And if I'd have known this, 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:57.160 I would have crawled screaming because I'm not that far 0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:57.960 from the hospital. 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:00.840 It was three grand out of pocket.

Let's try 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:34.000 to walk out of here so I don't have to 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:37.040 pay for a helicopter bill And then hey, way down about. 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:38.600 Thirty seconds to not be light headed. 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:43.200 Six hours of walking down with that pole sticking out 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:46.720 of him, and he's okay. 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:52.600 That's when he stumbled again and accidentally sat on a carrot. 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:55.080 And that is how doctor the. 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:57.480 Oh my god, I just saw the picture for the 0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:01.600 first time.

Oh, 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:19.159 we got to post the picture. We'll post the picture, 0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:21.600 Armstrong and Getty. 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:26.239 The President was chewing out his war planners with a 0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:29.919 string of exclatives, according to a new report in NBC News, 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:35.280 who describes him as very frustrated. The Iranians just won't fold, 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:38.200 and so now the president has been presented an option 0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:42.440 by the head of sencam to go big and escalate strikes. 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:47.159 Yeah, that's in the Wall Street Journal today, And Fox's 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:51.280 take on it was was it was this Admiral Cooper 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:55.280 trying to present a plan to the president through the 0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:58.399 Wall Street Journal because apparently he's not involved in the 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:03.800 big meetings. It's uh Caine, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Obviously, 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:07.199 Pete Hegseeth the Secretary of War, and Trump are in 0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:11.000 those meetings, and somebody or a combination of those three 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:14.399 are very hesitant to go big. And this Cooper dude, 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:17.560 who's the Centcom guy, you'd think he'd be in those meetings, 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:19.600 but at least according to Fox, they don't think he's 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:23.640 getting heard. He he thinks we need to go crazy, 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.480 big bomb to live and crap out of him. 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:29.000 That's that's an interesting interpretation of it. 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:35.119 Hum I, Well, Fox as usual through this whole warn Iran. 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:37.840 They're they're they're not super pleased with the way Trump 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:39.960 is handling this. I was watching it this morning and 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:43.199 Brian kill me like, well, this hole they hit us, 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:45.760 We're gonna hit him hard. How about we just hit them, 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:49.200 keep hitting them. And they're worried about reacting as opposed 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:50.880 to they do something. 0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:51.600 We react. 0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:54.600 Yeah, how about a little more Mike Tyson and a 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:57.520 little less whatever it is we're doing. 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:03.560 Yeah. Also, the reporting on. 0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:09.800 The Chinese shoulder fired missile things, so those are the mpads, 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:13.719 super high tech piece of equipment that's easy, very mobile, 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:17.159 and apparently pretty damned easy to teach somebody. 0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:19.520 How to use. I could use a couple of them. 0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:22.960 And that's the very piece of equipment that brought down. 0:20:23.040 --> 0:20:24.879 Was it a plane or a helicopter? Remember we had 0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:27.680 the guys bobbing around in the water and we sent 0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:31.200 an ai bowed out to get him in all that right, Yeah, 0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:33.320
