Be sure and say that you heard it on the micro effect. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, We've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You vie permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press. And you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control for those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children will be born. leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. You regain the freedoms for which we fought and died. Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great republic and each god given right To torture freedom bright As I awoke he'd vanished in the mist for once he came His words were true But we have ourselves to blame For even now as tyrants trampled each god given right We only watch him tremble too afraid to stand and fight He stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep And wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep What would be your answer? He called out from the grave I'm Mark Corneke and I'm Donald Betcher. and you can tune your satellite dish into the micro effect 24 hours a day. Well, today what is the date to date Don? It's the... Hey, it's a brand new month you guys, it's second birth. We are here into September and the schedule is running all kinds of events this month, but of course we just finished the Jim Monahan antique engine and alternate technologies fest which... I'm really sorry I missed that. I turned that wrench forever. But the transmission is in now, right? Oh yes, I was told. All the knuckles are bandaged. I got through that pretty well. What was fun is we got over there and we had, of course, usual steam equipment, gasoline engines, and mini board motors and steam giving idea. A couple of them that were there, they were so so wonder how they work. But again, the sources that are available when you got people that are thinking, you know, with mines and have engineering skills, lo and behold, they put everything together. So anyway. interesting thing Don. Of course we had samples of different cars. The moped conversion was there while he was there. Pretty good. And of course getting out into the people we drove him around on and off every so often to show everybody how they work. The most interesting thing though was an 80 year old electric car. Now most of you have heard about them. But what gets me is this. Have you noticed it's a tough technology. We're having a hard time. We can do it all. It's going to take a lot of research, Don. How many billion governments will you give me? Lots of research. Lots and lots of research. Meanwhile, here comes this burgundy car, 80 years old, full restoration. This thing looks just like it came out of the factory showroom. But here's the thing. They're telling you, oh, until we do the hyperplastics and we got it. This thing is 80 years old. Guy drives around town, drove it from where he has it parked straight over there. Now, you lift the back end, because that's where the motor pack is, guys, and there's not a whole lot to this. I mean, basically it's the same concept as the Model A in many of the cars. Just a hair younger, not much, but just, I mean, just, excuse me, a hair older. But the whole idea is that this thing, you know, standard canopy, the way to pick out the electrics is that they had more of an arched roof from front to back. But otherwise, in its sports class, this vehicle for especially in town or around the city area or whatever, going from one town to the other, it is noiseless. But when you lift the back end, it's marine batteries. Modern technology where the modern technology would be awfully handy. These newer batteries, of course, we're supposedly improving our storage cell technology every so many years. Well, congratulations. We don't even have to build something new. This whole system, it's a comfortable four-seater, actually five-seater. You put three people in the back seat. It's a four going on five-seater car. You sit upright. It doesn't shake and sound like plastic going down the road because it had to be made ultra light and this and that and the other. So that's all nonsense. Absolute BS. Now of course we can go to another sore spot for a lot of eco freaks. Yeah, you know remember the day that Al Gore jumped in front of the car crusher when they were destroying all of those electric cars? He chained himself to the car crusher so that they wouldn't destroy them and we'd save the ozone and we wouldn't have to worry about carbon credits because we'd have electric cut. Such commitment I have never seen before. I think Al was off chuckling and rubbing elbows with the other oil freaks when, or was he writing his paper on how he could scam us out of our air. You see how that works? In other words, Igor, here we had another, now here's the only thing that I've argued for years, it's like okay, With all of this technology, I don't care. We've already done it with a combustion vehicle. In fact, the last model you saw with guys, how many of you remember the last Caprices that came out? The last of the Caprices that were built in the US? They look like bathtubs. I mean, they had cool aerodynamic design, but they look like rounded bathtubs to a degree. But they were big. The cool thing about those Caprices is that they could get, and of course they would have gotten better mileage had it not been for the fact that they intentionally were manipulating the consumption of the vehicle by making sure that a non-efficient carburetor or injection system is on board. Oil companies are cooperating completely with that in half the years. Everybody knows it. And I'll tell you the reason is I have had too many vehicles that were half year, literally half year model cars, and the only two significant changes in the vehicles were A, the carburetor and B, the transmission. Well think about this, even if the Caprice only did as well as say, the average smaller size car from the uh... say eighties but here it is in the into the nineties the caprices remember where as big as it if they had the fuel efficiency of a of a lower and mid-sized to say upper small-sized car you were able to drive driving in something that's like a four-man sardine slash casket system but instead actually sit back and relax and enjoy the ride on a highway where you have to go hours and and hours down the road. You'd rather be sitting, you know, a pilot in a cockpit, and I'll get on that in a second, driving down the road in your living room where you have your legs stretched out, your real little rumpus is comfortable, neck is properly supported, and you can actually stretch out if you're not driving. In other words, you can move around, which is critical to actually the comfort because you can readjust your body position. Sold us on this billet beam and charged us more these smaller and smaller vehicles. Interesting, taking, just think, I'm laying the premise for this this way. Here we have the Caprice. And then here we have this 80 year old electric car. Now what if we take the 80 year old electric car concept technology which is no special thing to rebuild. Nothing new to construct. It's all sitting there. And put it under the hood of something that's been lightened by half its original weight. See the Caprice's weighed about two and a half tons, remember when they were in peak production back in the 70s. And progressively, guys, what did we do? We kept pairing weight off, we've lightened and gone to other technologies with plastics. OK, fine, we did. We've learned to stress the metals differently, or at least they finally went that direction and they've thinned up the sheet metal. They lightened and tapered the angles of the metal, and also the tapered the glass. And so we've got this aerodynamic bullet that still is big enough that you can be comfortable in. And then we can turn around. And with 80-year-old technology, put an engine system under the hood, it would run off electricity right now. Well done. Well what about charging it? Well guys, we already worked out all of that technology. How would you like to charge it? What do you want to put up around the house? Let's see. Wind generator, everybody's bragged about those. What about solar panels? Buy those off the shelf and what flavor do you want now? Oh, by the way, do you guys exercise? Because somebody told you you should be eating Cheerios and lots of wheat, which remember you grain feed cows and then you get cows bigger, you'll fatter. Remember they did that in the 80s and told everybody you need to switch over to pasta and legume. You need to switch over to more wheat and this and that and the other. In mass quantity, whole country got heavier. So now everybody has to exercise. So let's see, do you have an exercise bike? Would it behoove you perhaps to while you're running the exercise bike or the jogging machine or the Swiss climber or whatever it is? that that's hooked up to a power pack so that when you're using it you're charging the car. Oh, your legs are actually making your car move. How close to Flintstone is that? Now Mark just went through a whole bunch of silly little, in fact, little subnote on that. People are going, well how could we do that? I'll tell you what, how many of you ever watched the old World War II movies or even pre or post World War II movies? So it's the Pacific Theater of Operation or it's over in China. And here's this poor guy, and you know, this guy on the radio, he's the commander or the guy in charge and he's talking, oh, hello Pearl Harbor. And meanwhile, over in the corner, there's this poor guy who looks like he's grinding on something. It's like a big bicycle peddling. Arms are moving really slow. Well, they're moving slow for a reason, because even if you wanted to move faster, you could a little bit. The gear system and the throw cycle plate that's in there, sure that the machine runs consistently because that is a jet grinder type jitter and we take the handles off. That shaft is the handle goes on and we put ourselves a pulley. We take that pulley wheel in a frame and we mount them to that exercise bike. That's what we got. We got ourselves an output system that has variable output. I could charge everything from a 1.5 volt battery all the way up to charging your truck battery and everything in between. exercise because they told me that I ate too much of my Wheaties and ate too much of the Cheerios and ate, you know, again, too many of the pastas. With each fat they created in the 80s and 90s was designed to create an overweight population. That's what it was. I mean, bottom line, guys, I remember like that with that like it was yesterday. Oh, you just got to eat lots and lots and lots of wheat. And then they tried. We just don't know how this happened. We just don't know. How could this have happened? And I'm a Chinese jet pilot. Well anyway guys, electric car is really neat, but it's just the idea. 80 year old technology, it's driving on the road now, and that's 80 years ago plus when it was built. That's what's really fascinating. You can go down the road and it goes down the road in comfort. Now of course, The electric cars at Al Gore saved from destruction, I keep doing that, I forget. I see this image of Al Gore dressed up as that nutcase on top of the pyramid in Apokolipto, only leaping in front of the electric cars, first of all giving bad juju to the operator, Don, and then with an obsidian knife and the heart in his hand, throwing himself against the electric car crusher, and then telling his other assistant priest to chain him there to save the car save the electric car never happened all that division fades off to again fade that vision off to another shot of allegor rubbing elbows and sopping up some booze while he's laughing about the fact that he helped to get the electric cars crushed oh goose will never figure it out oh can you picture that i can so anyway point our technologies because the technology is cool we're working on it anyway And again, I just walked you through what a lot of other people are doing. The biggest problem we got, guys, is that the other system, the powers of beat know that this creates an independent population. Oh, I know then people would say, well, but the stuff has to be built. Well, of course it does. But here's the thing, you can also select who you buy it from. You know what? There's a lot of other companies out here that are in the United States. that right now are being hurt badly by the traitors in Washington who have destroyed our controls at the border. Now why am I going to deal with some scumbag from overseas when I could go to one American company or another that's a little guy and buy what I need from him making a better product that keeps Americans employed and then helps to build up our economy again? You see? Now we did this before, we did a little project called the Michigan Truck Project, the Michigan Truck System. And my argument was that you could take off the shelf without even going to the big three other than maybe for one or two items. And by the way, the big three or the big three and the other three, you know, Citi's, Benz, Honda, and Toyota, the other big three, the other three and the big three do a lot of side projects or have a lot of systems that you don't see or hear anything about. They're not exactly fancy. Usually they're older design systems and they market them from a number of different projects. Well, in some cases they actually have let those things go because there were other contractors that they could use. These contractors built axles, trains, and systems. Let me give you an example of how independent contractors work just for the cars that you drive. How many of you have electric seats? Does everybody know that it doesn't make any difference if you have a Chrysler, a Dodge, or a Ford? You all have the exact same electric seat in your car? Manufacture. That's right. It's all the same guy building it because he does a better job off to the side. The same is true with, for instance, smaller motor packages. There are motors that are built out there that are American made motors that are not made by Ford. They are not made by Chrysler. And they are not made by GM. Now, if we were looking at building a real, I don't care who does this, because anybody who does it, I'd be proud to see, hopefully we planted a seed. Think outside the box. Now you could go to Ford or whatever for certain products, because again, you can buy them cheap, cheap, cheap, and you can buy something that they wouldn't perceive as a threat right away. But you build a quarter ton or a half ton pickup that is a bare bones, old style pickup truck. I don't want it to have a 50, you know, like I don't want, I don't need a Corvette engine under the hood. I don't need a Mustang engine under the hood. Okay, I'm sorry, we're not going to be doing Formula One racing with my work pickup, right? So number one, the motor pack needs to be something that's stable, good torque, and about four cylinder for the small truck. And maybe a six inline or a little V for the half ton, okay? Simple frame construction. Straightforward box that must be able to handle an 8.5 by 4x8 sheet of plywood. Okay? Think about that. Remember how we used to build trucks for the longest? Actually useful. Yeah, it was called a work truck. Why? You take that 4x8 sheet of plywood, you lay it between the two buckets for the wheels, and it laid there comfortably and you didn't lose your fingers. whereas now you angle them or you gotta lay them on the... In other words, they've gone full circle. Years and years and years ago, you had trucks that were like what we're seeing right now because the average size of the vehicle, the vehicles out there, is what they based the truck box on. Finally, you might recall in the late 60s, early 70s, everybody started realizing, hey, there's guys want construction vehicles, plus the Army wanted these too, by the way, which is why they actually came into existence. Lo and behold, all of a sudden you had wide axle and standard axle, vans and trucks. Remember that? It had a Chevy wide body, a van, and it was priceless because you could lay construction material in between the wheel wells and you didn't have to worry about stuff dancing around and visiting your toes or busting your fingers and all kinds of stuff. So the basic criteria is that the truck box has got to be straight, up and down, nothing fancy, with lots of tie downs. Here's another thing, lots of tie downs and bolt points and bracket points so that you can use it. And it doesn't have to look pretty. And I don't want this thing to be, in fact, if you want to make it pretty, you make it pretty. Here's how it works. The box and the cab are all flat slab construction, all very simple bolt-on, add-on systems. where safety features are required, that's where you spend your money and nothing else. The thing to be so simple doesn't even have a radio. Has a rack for a radio, but guess whose job it is to put one in? Not the companies. You see how this is? You realize we could knock a vehicle down to about four or five thousand dollars at the max and still maybe making a profit on that vehicle. I mean a comfortable profit. You ought to be getting it out first. Go to the most common wheel configuration possible with regard to the lugs, with regard to wheel rims, because it's not the razor, it's the blade that gets you. It's not the core system, it's the perishables that are attached to it. These lights, if they aren't something standard or all kinds of difficulties, now the thing is to make it omni-connective. In other words, the base system can plug in LEDs, you can plug in standard lights, you have options for fixtures. But the inside of the cab, for instance, is nothing more than like when I used to jump into a pickup truck in 1968. The color on the inside of the truck was the same as the color on the outside of the truck. That's because it was all painted everywhere. I don't want a truck that looks like a 1999 or 2008 or 2010 Corvette or Mustang on the inside. I'm looking for... Or something that looks like you're hanging out in the French Quarter and new... Me too. That's right, exactly. I don't want it to look like a Pimp Mobile, I want it to work. Now tell me that a truck like that would not sell. Because right now you've got all kinds of, oh yes, they look cool, but they don't have any of the functional features. Let me give you another example. Straightforward I-beam bumper front and rear. Designed and pre-drilled with all of the holes for any of the configured fixtures that you're going to need from tow hooks and clamps. through to a power winch front or rear. Now here's a fun one. Standard, a Reese hitch already mounted on board and automatic as part of the truck. Oh and by the way we'll offer it with a pin-pole ball combination hitch that goes with the truck when you buy it. That'll be the one special feature we'll sell you right away. Look at that. We got ourselves a work truck. In fact it would also be a very good military application combat truck. and Do you know what the average Dodge M880, now this is the Dodge Ram truck, that's all they did. The regular Dodge M880, built in 1975, 76, middle of the gas, suppose a gas crisis, right? What was the sticker price on that for your tax dollars at that time? About $3,000. Actually, a lot, well, depending on what model, it could be that high, but the average vehicle, the M880, which by the way was four-wheel drive, five quarter-ton truck. In other words, it's one and a quarter ton rated, which means all military trucks are half rated, which was, say, it was a two and a half ton frame. However, it looked just like a Dodge Ram, which became the Dodge Snow Commander in commercial circles, by the way. That was $1,790 to a little under $3,000, depending upon whether or not it had the radio package and all of the other dampening systems on board for signal communications. And the difference in price wasn't the cost of the truck, it was the cost of the add-on features that were required to put the truck online. Now granted, that's in 70's dollars, but consider, we're looking at $1,790 on an average for an M880 four-wheel drive, ready to fly with all the blackout gear, all the other goodies that the military needed. And it came right off the shelf. Now today it would probably cost about 4,000 or 5,000 maybe 6,000 off the shelf. However, let's think about this, we're right here in Michigan. We had the Flint truck plant, you know, until GM went over to China. Well, they still have the truck plant there. Anyway, even after they stopped making those Squarebox 70 series Chevy pickup trucks, they were still building them up there in Flint because the Cuckeby, which a lot of you soldiers have driven at one time or another, with a standard diesel engine was built there long after they stopped offering that body to the civilian population. Just per unit was about $4,800 to $5,003 and they were some were cheaper and they were four wheel drive diesel engine off the shelf. Now let's do the math guys. And they were building these the same time they were building the Humvee. Let's see $4,800 for a CUCV or $54,000. How many of those cuck fees can I buy for the price of... ... seven, eleven, twelve... Wow! Now you see the problem with this is that the Humvee when they tried to push it, it was going to be like the Jeep. It's not the Jeep. It doesn't even fit into the niche of the Jeep. The Jeep is a quarter ton weapons carrier. What the cuck fee was is what the old... Remember here's you World War II vets might remember this. Remember the three quarter ton Dodge? That's what the Humvee was supposed to replace and did to a degree, but then they tried to call it a Jeep. It is not a Jeep. Look at the size of that beast. It doesn't fit any place you want it to most of the time, guys. Come on, think. So the idea is that these pickup trucks, and here's why I bring this up too, from a Battlefield situation, what does a rat pack care if one rat dies? If you have to spend $54,000 on a Humvee, and every time you lose one, you lose $54,000 plus a lot of goodies on board. Think about 10 trucks distributing even more material over a wider area. If you lose one of the pickup trucks and you can get 10 or 12 or 14 of them for the price of that Humvee, how much equipment still got to where it needed to go? 90%. Yeah, and how many more troops were properly equipped when the time came? You see the problem with it? This is where the bean counters get involved. because the Committee of Monkey Syndrome applies and all of a sudden money is spent in the wrong ways. Now the Humvee is great as an attack weapon system. Look at the way it's set up with that turret on the roof. It's supposed to offer a platform for heavy weapons. That puts it in the weapons category, not in the weapons systems category, not in the transport category, which is where those pickup trucks come in awful handy. Well the same is true for industry guys. Great pickup truck. Cost you $58,000 with a Corvette engine under the hood. Other pickup truck works. You scratch it, you don't go, oh my god, the paint, I can't match it. Instead of break out the 99 cents, break in. There we go, we're fixed. What do you mean? Yeah, you want to paint it some more, go get some more cans. And you don't worry about scratching it, and you make everything heavier gauge. You make it heavy where it counts. You put the workstations on it where they need to be. Like I said, tie downs, wrap arounds. All the stuff, the hooks and goodies that are needed because it's a work truck. Now tell me that an American truck like that wouldn't sell, guys. Would you buy one? I'd go with pancakes, yeah. That's right. And not only that, but keep it affordable. This whole BS of these vehicles costing $20,000, $30,000, and $40,000 is ludicrous. And again, not necessarily gaining anything. I shouldn't, and I don't, I shouldn't be, if it's a supposed work truck, be worrying about whether or not she's going to be doing sixes, eights, or you know, whatever on the quarter mile or the... or whatever. Anyway, just ideas we're throwing out there because we had a great weekend. You guys, thanks for showing up. Those who were listening, we're going to go to our break here at the bottom of the aisle with the Intel report.

When his engine wore, they called the highway thunder roll. Sometimes into Asheville, sometimes Memphis town, the revenue was chasing, but they couldn't run him down. Each time they thought they had, his engine would explode. And you know you guys are the rumors that you probably, some of you probably spent over that that was basically kind of birth of man. I was on the back roads throughout even the Midwest and you know trying to escape the revenuers there. Digital banjo chase music guys. In fact, you know, it's interesting, we had a number of different types of vehicles running here on gas and by the way, alcohol and also on one of the other individuals there was working on the hydrogen system also, which is really cool, and a brown gas idea. And that's taking hold in a lot of places. That kind of runs in cycles. We've seen that about say 15, 20 years ago in the 50s, by the way, too, by the research they did in the early 90s. We had a lot of people who were running talking about, well yeah, there's this hydrogen system that my grandpa told me about. I did it years ago in the 50s and stopped using it because we changed the cars and the gas got cheap and I got made more money and you know, duh, duh, duh, duh. Well, taking more money in this country, people, you know what I mean? So everybody's looking at the idea that yeah, we can come up with solutions. Plus, Americans are getting PO'd anyway at the manipulation. So what was cool about this weekend is we did get a chance to see a lot of different systems. Both old and new, the antique systems are, you know, again, are being preserved. can be mimicked. At least look at the older technology and start asking basic questions. What could you do if you wanted to take that and make it? Now one thing that Jim didn't tell me about until we got over to one of the shops is that, lo and behold, Don, we have another steam car model in motion. Now the whole steam engine, to include the little boiler and everything, guys, the size of a four cylinder. Simple, I mean, this is where Gary is. And I'm not going to give away what he's just done. We are going to make a video of this and what it just like I've been saying about the electric car technology guys It's purely a matter of how innovative you are if you think the thing and behold we're talking so simple It's ridiculous purely again a matter of you want to build safety features in you're gonna spend more money on just doing some addition putting additional safety Better cool, but I would recommend I mean I think it'd be ways to make the thing look cool and in the process I'm looking at, again, whatever possibility there is, getting run over by a semi-truck. Well, there ain't too many parts to worry about anyway. But if you get hit, you've got to look at how do you create blow-off and things like that, which are already in place because the steam technology, 100 years ago, already had to deal with these issues. But in reality, Don, what was really neat is we're talking about the fire pot being about the size of a bread box exactly as I originally proposed. and we've been in discussion on this for years and all the other systems already fabricated, all he's got to do is drive unit to the motor unit and everything is pretty open online. The frame was already built and I sit there looking at it every night and went, wow, okay, this is where we want to go. We're going to have to be helping him with that. The new shops are up, plugged in. Even have our own foundries, guys. We can build the parts we need if we have to. Give us scrap metal, we'll make what it is that we need. It's already there. That's what gets me, it's already there. People are not, people are to a degree, some people are just plain lazy. Some people are just like, well I'll gripe and complain about it, but they won't do anything about it. Yet they have skill. Now what we need to do is we need to bring people together in a couple different ways. Number one is thought processes. Start thinking. Alternate solutions. Why? Through diversity. Oh, there's a term the other side likes to use. Through diversity we will have strength and we will maintain our liberty. If you can't walk up and cut one switch off and buckle the knees of the country, then you can't manipulate with all the other BS and try to pull the rest of the rubber buddies eyes because they're not frustrated and worried about running on the rat wheel that much faster. They can make somebody else go by the way is producing the product for less than pennies on the gallon. Okay, in fact, less than when I say less. Most people think it would cost 17 cents. No, that's after profit, guys. And you know, 16 cents, 14 cents. When you're talking, producing stuff by the millions or tens of gallons, you're able to bring the process down to its absolutely lowest tweaking level, okay? And most people don't think that way because they think personal consumption, volume that they use. Well, you know, and I do understand, okay, here's the other thing. From the industry end, without being greedy, they still have to take into consideration, and we all should, that somebody has to deliver retail, a level one retail hub, and then goes out into retail distribution, which is the semi-trucks that you see up to the gas stations and going and dropping so many thousand gallons into a holder tank that you then take advantage of. So it takes time and we understand that and I accept that, but the problem is we've been tracking this for years and I have a sheet here that is nine, it's actually a packet, it's nine pages long, small print, no space, half spaces between each line. And what it is, guys, it was the listing of refineries before Y2K, before 19, it'll be at the beginning of 1999, showing both the where they were located, the name, where they were located, and which ones were being shut off or shut. It's not an accident. One of the other parts about what's going on right now is they intentionally shut down and shut off refineries for the purpose of manipulating the price. not that we do not have the ability to do this and it isn't that we don't have the technology and the technicians to do this. They intentionally carved off a percentage of the industry shutting off systems in some cases that were only a few years old so that they could create the fiction of it, oh it costs us so much and refining us so hard. By the way, how many times are you hearing this mantra which tells you that Now another thing from communications. How many of you have dealt with radio in the industry? Raise your hand. Alright, see if there's a mic. Oh, look through the microphone. Okay, I know a lot of people have not been in a radio station. Now years ago, the radio station used to have the API, UPI reports. And there was a teletype. You've seen these in the movies, you know, k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k They didn't want any variations. They wanted everything. In fact, what they used to do is they would have you or a lot of guys highlighted the critical stories or the ones that were going to be up in your face, even though there was a lot of other news that was in that printout. They wanted you to make sure that the re-regimented story for the day was heard by people over and over and over again from many different voices. So it sounded like it was urgent. In reality, there were many more stories that were much more urgent, but the political agenda was being moved by a very narrow bunch of people who were pushing this out through the teletype machines, through the printers. Now, years ago, actually in the 90s, I told everybody, hey, go to your local radio station, take your kid with you, your children with you in high school or in junior high and tell them, hey, I'm doing a report on radio and how it works, you know, on radio industry. You know, can I get a sheaf of those news reports, those news reports from the API, UPI? A lot of people did this and they used the excuse that we're getting them for school. That way nobody, there were no flags that went up. People were gasping. They were like, oh my goodness, I can't believe this. It virtually showed how things were engineered. Now they don't have to do that, guys, because now you have Big Brother's 1984 keyboard. Now it comes over on a computer screen with deniability because there's no hard copy. When they want to talk about the crisis with gasoline, they'll go in that direction. Well, another thing that you're hearing about this crisis and how many times you're hearing the exact mimicking words over and over again, drilling in America, drilling in America, drilling in America, no matter what it is, well, if they just let us drill in America, they are drilling in America. Don, we just went down through Texas. What did we see down there around, let's see, what is it, College Station? oil wells guys how many oil wells did we see don, could we count them all? I can't remember how many we saw, I couldn't count them and most important is the fact that they had a whole bunch of machines that were mobile units and what were they doing don? Drilling more rigs weren't they? and everybody we talked to down there said oh yeah they've been all over the county they're drilling every day they're actually been bouncing all over the place so my question would have to be Now, then, you've got to remember, there's two different types of rigs. One of them actually relines the system. They've got it with existing well because of corrosion. I know oxidation. Just pull it or just cap and just run next to it. But the point is that most of these, 90% of what they were doing down there right now, around College Station, find it on the map, College Station. That area, all north and south of it, all the way up to the Arkansas border, from there we counted hundreds, dozens, depending on where you were, and you could see them for as far as you could see, and you could see the new driving units there. So this whole mantra is not something where, wow, that announcer's really smart, he pulled that out of his hind end, and he's just so broke. No, he didn't. If you listen, you'll hear Rush numballs, you'll hear all the rest of these characters repeating the same BS. Now, I don't have a problem with that if, supposedly, they put the screws on America and driven the price up, right? Well, I'll tell you what, you're gonna drill in America, it comes to America. Drill in America, let's start this one up. Oh, you're right, but here's the thing, let's do to them what they do to us. Call into every one of these goofy radio stations and put it this way, if you drill in America, It comes to America, not to a foreign country. If you drill in America, it comes to America, not to a foreign country. If you drill in America, it comes to America, not to a foreign country. You know why I'm doing that three times? Because that's biblical. But because all of you have to do that over and over again to them, and that's going to be a brain screw. Why? Do to them in the same way and use the exact same words. If you drill in America, it comes to America and does not get shipped to another country. If we drill in Alaska, it comes here. If we drill in the Gulf, it comes here and it stays here. Anything else is treason. Because what they've done is they've put the screws on. How many of you are paying three times what you paid for gas four years ago? Now, remember we went to this Gulf War BS because we were going to murder Iraqis and we were murdering Arabs so we could steal their oil? And in fact you're paying more. Now here's the thing, and now the excuse is, well this is why we need to drill for oil here. Well good. If we're going to do that, we have beautiful modern technologies. We've changed in many ways in that industry. And they can do a fine job of drilling for American oil to give to America, to us. Not to Mexico, not to Canada. not overseas to, you know, Bangladesh, not overseas to Bungahida, not down the road to Indochmidia, okay, I don't care where, all those other places on the planet are wonderful places, you know, Bangladesh, you know, Indonesia, they're all wonderful places, okay, love the people there, let them spend their money, drill for their oil, and get the job done. We are paying through the nose, these can then turn around and drill the oil and sell it to somebody else. Here's the problem. the goofiness of the Alaskan pipeline. Oh, they were lamenting about this. By the way, the elk herds are alive and well. Everybody catch that. Remember the eco freaks? You see guys, we remember all these arguments from years ago back when they were going to build the Alaskan pipeline. Oh! The elk herds will be dead in man days and there'll be nothing but the dried bones of the dead elk. Well, there won't be the dried bones because there's porcupines and things like that. And by the way guys, you won't even find the bones. But the point is that the elk herds are still running along doing what they've always done. The deer are still bouncing around the way they always have. Just as with the man-made object, which by the way they can get under, they can get around, they can do whatever they're going to do. But what would happen if that would be the end of fill in the blank? No it wouldn't. How about a major land fault chain? See anything drop off the planet like that and everything just die off accordingly? No it doesn't. Plants and animals adapt. OK. So that's all BS. That's all these again, the other half of the manipulative process creating expense. Because the excuse will be theo-thesis, anti-thesis, synthesis. Most of the eco-freaks are manipulated so that the industry can do a little bit of fighting and then estimate the additional cost and then throw that on the bill even though the actual additional cost doesn't exist. See how that works? And the eco-freaks, a bunch of them that are leading them, like Al Gore. know that what I'm saying is it would have cost you one-fifth as much and still been safe if the eco-freaks hadn't been allowed to dance their dance up on top of the pyramid. But by being allowed to do that and manipulating the population as part and financed by the oil companies that supposedly they're protesting, though they don't want to talk about that, they then create the pickle, smoke, and mirror machine that allows them to drive up the cost five, six, and seven times what it was Oh, and tack on some additional, don't forget those research dollars, Don. Yup. Don't forget those research dollars. Boy, they probably got government grant. Oh, they did get government grants. Left and right. Wait a minute. You mean they wouldn't have done the research on their own if you told them they had to do it? You had to give them money too? Would they really have to go that far into the industry to figure out what to do? No, they wouldn't. So this is right out of Anne Rand's Atlas Shrugged or Out of the Fountainhead where she talks about the pole peddlers and the rockets that they set up and how they scam everybody. Oh it's for the people. It's for Chippy the Woodchuck. Oh look there he is. Poor Chippy. If we hadn't spent a billion dollars that rodent wouldn't be here today. Yeah okay. And by the way, if you watch the video just after they showed Chippy coming out and he looks so healthy and he looks so happy about the eco, the eco environment and the balance. But in the next second after the camera drops away, that hawk comes down, rips him out of his little hole and takes him off and chews on him. So much for Chippy, okay? By the way, he's a rodent. They breed like rabbits, guys. is Okay, we're going to get up. Oh, there you are. I bet it's going to be a shuffle into the kitchen. My wife's shaking her head. You guys knew better. You were supposed to be up already, but yeah, you'll learn your lesson. It was a long week. So there's the cup of coffee. Oh, oh, just regular coffee. Wait a minute. Oh, that's got a little almond smell to it. Uh oh. Wait a minute. Almond. Oh cyanide smells like almond. What did you do this weekend? Well it could be just almond. It could be an almond amaretto thing. Okay, well take your chances. Here we go. Yeah, I think it's almond. Well if it's cyanide it'll at least be a good cup of coffee before I go. Fingers are tingling. Well that could be the cyanide working or the caffeine, one or the other. Okay, anyway now you're awake. You're getting ready to go to work. I want you to talk about this when you get to work. Please, you know, bring this up as a subject. Hey. How is it we had electric cars 80 years ago and now all of a sudden we need to spend billions of dollars to figure out how to do that again? We're going to make a point and by the way when we get the video up on YouTube I want you to watch this because Ed did a great job of documenting down all of these items that were there and this electric car, it just looks sweet. In fact, you know what would be fun? This really would be bizarre too. I've always thought about this. There was a guy in Michigan here over just one town over it's Chelsea, Michigan. He took the Pinno frame and he built first a Model T. I saw this thing done years ago. Now this is not electric, but this gives you an idea of image. He built this Model T on brand new Pinno frames that he bought from Ford. He bought the chassis drivetrain system and he put his body on that frame, on that system. And when that thing went by, my friend of ours has a Model T that he's had for probably, what, 60 years? I mean, he was this easy original owner. And it went by and I thought, man, what's wrong with that car? It's so incredibly quiet. And then I realized, wait a minute, I recognize that engine. I've got one. That's a Pinot. Well, it turned out this guy built a whole bunch of these. He sold thousands of them. And that gave him money to make the cord. He made like a 2-3rd scale version of the cord. And it, the same thing, looked beautiful, ran down the road, very fuel efficient. Well then he did something that Ford bought. Before you saw the Mustang too, which was remember nothing more than a pinot chassis with a V8, he took the pinot and he built a Mustang, looked like a 67 Mustang on a pinot frame. Ford saw that and he built them and he cranked them out all over the place. Ford saw that and in the next two years, all of a sudden instead of the 73 balloon Mustang, All of a sudden you had the 75 Mustang II, which was the head of the Bobcat. The reason I bring this up is let's shift that. Somebody would really be smart if they could just do nothing but rebuild the electric car you're going to see in this video. Because it could be done just exactly as it is now. It's in a beautiful burgundy color. It really looks nice on the inside. You could do that right now and put it on the road and it would sell. There are two reasons it would sell. Number one, it looks classic. I mean, it's like, man, you're getting an antique car, but you're not getting an antique car. You're getting a brand new electric car that would drive down the road and would get you to and from work without any problems at all. And you know what I thought right off the bat? You know the only change you make? That curved roof that you got on that vehicle, guys, is all solar panels on the roof. Uh-oh. In fact, you do just the centerpiece where the main piece of leather was on the leather tops, although they're leather and metal, but they're steel. The idea is that centerpiece just out of sight because the way the roof arches, you make that all solar panels on the roof, and now you've got constant charging at your discretion with an onboard control system. You're going down the road and you're recharging your batteries even as you're using them. And it doesn't have to be 100%. It's the idea. It's assist. This doesn't have to be a cruising, like I said, this is not a touring car for going all the way across the country, though you could. The idea is it's your commuter car and it's something unique that people would talk about. Well here's another little thought line before we top off the hour, you guys, little gas tank joke there. Well people bemoan the oil companies for their profits, but do you know the government, federal government taxes more and actually profits more on a gallon of gas than the oil companies? Now you want to think about that while you're driving down your decrepit roads or crossing a bridge and wondering, am I going to make it to the other side? The quarter last year, their profit was almost 12 bills. That was just one of the companies. And imagine the government making more money than, where does that money go? Those bridges in Iraq? Yeah, Iraq. Yeah. And water systems that they blow up the next day. Yeah, while America's bridges and America's road system falls to hell with the only hand cart. Well, it depends on where you are. I will say this about Texas. They're secondary roads guys who drive 70 miles an hour. And down there they don't have freezing fall like we do up here. But the problem is that every one of these states is making twice what they need to operate. So where's that money going? does all that money go when the states are raking in cash like that. So it was hypocrisy when you see those congressmen sitting there in that committee railing on those oil companies. Oh yes. Absolute hypocrisy. Some of the biggest wasters and individuals that are crooked are sitting there in front of a bunch of other people who are demicrookets, the oil companies, and they're going back and forth with each other. You know, it's the pot calling the kettle black. There's the problem. Both of them need to be looked at a lot closer, but it needs to be by true Americans, not by sellouts in Congress, and certainly not by international businessmen who don't care about this country, but are trying to figure out how to crack the border. Both of them need to have a crack side to head. And we ain't talking to the drug guys. Well we are at the top of the hour. Thank you for listening. Hopefully we woke you up. You guys all got to get to work. It's Tuesday. It's kind of like Monday here now because remember you had a three day weekend. You all wake up. Come on, we're going to go to work too. I got some construction outside. It's got to be dealt with. God bless the Republic.
