Live 365. 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 to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm. and keep our country deep in debt. 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 won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can 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 will 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 in each God-given right. And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free and home of the free? libertytreeradio.4mg.com, pbn.4mg.com, live 365, then go to Liberty Tree Radio. We're also on AM&FM micro stations, CB base stations, and ultra net technologies east and west of the Mississippi, southern and central Alaska, and heading towards the Aleutians. Today's date is done. It is 15 of March, Mark, and if you look on the calendar, that means it's Wednesday. So you're just about to hear one hit the chamber. The slide is closed. Out of the well is full. And now we can offer equal opportunity course for us. And what was that clunk going into there? What was that clunk that we heard? Oh, that was about a .45 caliber dropping into a 1911. You know, just a half inch bore personal defense firearm that will stop something get in his tracks if it really looks like it wants to be aggressive. And even if, well, even if it decides to be a little more aggressive, it won't do it a whole lot of good. So the one most important thing to remember about this guys is we have a lot of tools at our disposal This is weapons Wednesday one of the things I'll point out is be it a half-inch gun or a 22 some automatic or pistol or revolver in 22 and Everything in between maintenance is critical with a handgun just as it is with your firearms any other firearms your shoulder fired weapons of whatever category The reason I bring this up is because a lot of times we have seen this in the past. Guys will carry weapons in leather to the point where they forget it's there. And this can also be a nylon, but either way what happens is moisture builds up in there, doesn't it, Don? Oh, yes. Not so much a nylon, but you know, it depends on how you treat it too, but you know what, that's what oil is. That's right. That's why God gave you hands and eyes so you can take your gun out of your holster and look at it and reach over there for the oil. One way or another maintenance needs to be done on occasion and for that reason you want to make sure that whenever we're out there doing what we're doing that we pay attention to the fact that we're carrying mags in holsters, in mag pouches, shoulder holster, rigs, all kinds of stuff. it's close to your body. Then it rains like it is today here in Michigan. No, it's not a big rain. It's a dippily rain. It's a bla-la-la-la-la-la up here and there and bla-la-la-la-la up here and there. You don't get wet all at once real, soak into the bone. But what happens is your body, of course, is generating a certain amount of heat. You start to sweat. You're carrying 40, 50, 60 pounds of combat equipment plus a 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 pound or 19 pound firearm. Okay? and the body has all these this moisture that it's pushing out of the systems called sweat that has minerals in it most important and critical remember is salt okay now you can read the while and you know we talk again we talk in the coast here we're talking something else we've got a d in the wing oh no we have a callers a matter of fact we have market for Georgia pay market is going on there real quick a guy though You're talking about lubricating your firearms? I'm doing my semi-annual PM on mine and that good stuff that I ordered from that guy up there in Michigan, I'll tell you about 10 able. I'll tell you what, that stuff works. It is one of the best lubricants on the planet, period. Go ahead and tell everybody what's going on with that. And also, if you've got all the contact information, give it out again right now, please. Oh my God, you would have to ask that. Hang on, let me dig it up. Scrambling for the can. Okay, okay. It's Tim Abel, A-B-E-L, Tim Abel, 734-734-54 and it's Tim A. Alfa-Brah and he's there in Michigan. And again, go right ahead, go right ahead. Okay, you want us to address? If you got there, that'd be fine. Okay, it's 1411, that's 1411, Monroe Street, Carlton, which is Charlie Alfa Romeo Lima. Tango, Oscar, November, C-A-R-L-E-T-O-N, Michigan, 4-8. Very good. Now one of the things that should be remembered especially about Gibbs with the very thing we're talking about carrying the stuff in gear This includes magazines, but it especially includes your personal firearms which are close to your body You get rained on and guess what all that body salt oils and stuff They kind of spread out through all your other gear You don't think about it this way But what happens is everything starts to permeate all the rest of your equipment, especially when it's close to your body So open today in the rain under a poncho You still get wet. Yeah. Yeah, you sweat. Mark, one other thing. Come on, magazines. I've been taking all my AR15 and M16 magazines apart. You know, a lot of them are aluminum. And if you really check your followers, even the ones that are sealed in plastic, take your magazines apart, rub a lot of this stuff, oxidation, so your followers will slide through like Now here again any metal parts even the plastics as was pointed out by Billy when we had him up on the air He's a representative for Gibbs Bottom line is this stuff works in all categories of arms with all types of metals and plastics and woods not gonna hurt at all They would stay right where you are Marcus. We got Don this is mark Intel report weapons Wednesday And again, we're gonna give the numbers out we get back but pay attention here.

Not a globalist agenda for world domination. For more information, send a self-addressed stamp envelope to... and Marcus, we were talking about the Gibbs oil. Roger that. Would you run that in the context? Pass this again, please. Yes, sir. His name is Tim. Tango India Mike. Abel. Alpha Bravo Echo. Lima 7. 007. Say again. 71411. Monroe, like the president Monroe. Charlie Alpha Romeo. Lima Echo Tango Oscar November. That's C-A-R. N-L-E-T-O-N, Michigan, 117 or 811. And it runs two ounce bottles and little spray things like your lens cleaners, little bottle, 12 ounce aerosol can that has a variable discharge nozzle, some amount of real hard spray or you can ooze it out to put just out a little cans or $12 a piece. The little two ounce bottles are $7 a piece. and like I said, those two ounce bottles are neat because you can put them in your fishing tackle, your ruck, whatever you gotta do to carry these things with you to use them in the field. It doesn't have a real ram oil or some other stuff. My semi-annual PM on the weapons I have and like you were talking about leather, yeah I pulled a couple out of leather, even one was staying in a little tatter rust on it and going and it did knock it right off like it was nothing. I didn't have to scrub, just spray it on there, rubbed a little bit and like sort of rust just came right on off. and like it re-blued and went back like it says to go re-clean on it then just using ram oil or stuff I've used. Always good anytime you can short and still get to the same end result that's always good. I do recommend take your weapon completely apart if you're that good at it and you know your weapons take them and get in there and really put this stuff in all the nooks and crannies and it will prevent if you've got on a poncho most ponchos are rubber or plastic you will sweat your butt off and if you want to stay warm in the winter put your the sound like a good kid, he's a little younger than I, and he runs the loop, we can use all the help we can get right. Absolutely, and we're going to do what we can again, also to make sure our people, you know, the weapons and equipment are maintained, that's the critical component here. We're getting into the wet cold, and we're going to be into wet dry. Wet dry is not as bad, but you still have to consider weapons sweating. Weapons are going to be getting into, you know, being put into conditions where the metal is going to be exposed in different ways, and we got to make sure that we take care of the weapons that we have, guys, it's all we got. I don't know anybody out there made out of that much money they can be tossing firearms out the back door okay? You might hand them out the back door to the next five guys that show up to make up the next fire team. But we can't afford to see any of this stuff damaged and even if there is something you got It was picked up, it's a hand-me-down or a Liberty arm. The nice thing about Gibbs is that it helps to bring up the performance of the weapon. It's going to stop anything from going any farther if there is a little oxidation or surface problems. There are a number of solutions, especially with regard to the outer surface. First, we can paint to cover it up to prevent oxygen from getting to whatever. But all working parts need to be lubricated and they're exposed and typically they're finish wares. So that's where Gibbs comes in in every category with regard to maintenance. I can't say enough about it because I've seen it used far too long. We've used it for a couple of decades and the stuff is a high performance, high quality product that is pretty reasonably priced. Once it's on the arm it stays there. Anything else, Marcus? Yeah, one thing, speaking of magazines, I don't care if you've got a Bluth, your AR15s or aluminum magazines mostly, your L1A1s and others are steel, AK Macalite mags, it doesn't matter. Take your magazines, They have metal springs. Wipe down the springs. The aluminum magazines, wipe them down. Your followers will run smoother through them. Wipe everything down with this gage. It's an amazing thing. And like I said, I've noticed I had a couple of mags that had slight beams in them. I turned them out a little bit. You know how that goes. It didn't always work. Still didn't work. Running my weapons. They were fed in the other weapon. A little bit of your magazine well. Well, anyway, wipe these things down. Clean them out. They run well now. They cycle the 30 rounds all the way through, no problem, and that makes a world of difference. When your magazines work, a sem automatic or a fully automatic weapon is nothing but a heavy duty, per-fied single shot if your magazines aren't working. Right about that, 100%. We touched on that this morning, didn't we Mark, with the guy running with the .45 and the belt loop .45 caliber in his belt. Yeah, as a matter of fact the latest Indiana Jones movies got a lot of interesting little statements in it We need to bring it we're gonna put up on the air But what's funny is just watching the Russians chasing Indiana Jones He's running through the rafters he fires a 45 until the 45 is empty and then throws it off to the side Now how many times have you seen this condition motion you guys all throw your firearms away when they're empty don't you? Yeah, right Yeah, sure we do. But you know how many times have you seen this conditioning? That's you know, there's a mental process there. They do this constantly. Now my question is this, let me just think this through here. If I drop the slide, what? When I fire the last round is it well back to the rear and the slide won't go forward? If I don't have the ammo, does the machine have a mind of its own and I miss something? Now if the slide is locked to the rear and I hit that tab on the slide the slide goes forward If I point that at somebody do they have any clue whether or not the weapon is loaded? So if I am a revolver is empty. They don't know that's right so if I had to point it at someone just to keep him dogging and you know, you know, dawd dodging and weaving Then if I just bring it up and I give all the confidence the world that I plan on pulling the trigger Usually people will get out of the way. Okay, so throwing the weapon away would not be a good thing But conditioning people to the idea that it's like a an empty canteen in a desert movie How many times have you seen this and it's always to emphasize how bad things get? the guys trudging you across to that oasis in the middle of desert and it's seven days and boom boom boom many whites is brown you see him he starts losing stuff that he's wearing in the finally there's that last seen were always re uh... lifts the canteen up and is that last little drop the hits his parched tongue and then he looks at the inside of the canteen any looks up at the sun a rolls the canteen off to the side in Just barely, just barely, he crawls hands and knees to the next dune and you know two miles away and there he is he made it to the oasis. Now guys... He has no way to haul his water. Now you hope some caravan comes through and rescues us, but... Some camel jockey or some helicopter, right? That's right. And you know, my problem is that's not what happens. You see all of a sudden they're all right as rain and it's like, oh, I feel really great after that next seven day march across the parts sands of the Sahara. Oh yeah, and now we're here at wherever we show up and we're ready to swing from a vine or whatever. It's like, okay, that's the mental conditioning processes they do. Remember, if at all possible you have to be thinking ahead, even if you are in trouble, guys. And weapons the same way. You don't know what you're going to run to next. So the bad guys don't know for sure how many rounds you fired. They're not counting. Trust me on that one. And they don't know what you're carrying. So you don't throw your personal firearm down. You don't toss your rifle. Oh, don't forget, you have to look at it. You empty the weapon. And you have to look at it disgustingly. and then you have to throw it on the ground to put your hands up in the air like you're mincing like you're some you know poof different san francisco and like betrayed me but actually you betrayed it but by not bringing enough amble bring up animals on that's right what i thought they were going to have a better or had been i've done for training for her and i'm here to tell you you don't that one will campaign i always watch movies are laughing because would take five gallons per man and we could drink and go through five gallons a day just to keep up and running so we could move i mean tell you the fair will take it out of you right it is the driest place i've ever been in my life sucked on what he does it would near that it'll suck the moisture right out of you on it yep will get every breath you lose moisture well go back out of the corner that got blessed on a pretty good thank you marcus Don, we're heading to the bottom of the hour of break right now, ladies and gentlemen. This is the Intel Report, Liberty Tree Radio, back in three on LTI. I must shoot him before he shoots me Before God I swear it is free My rifle and myself are defenders of my country We are the masters of our enemy We are the saviors of my life until there is What fun it is to the Red Coast, what mind you madness fills in our valleys There is danger, and there's danger in our hills Oh, here you're not just singing of the view, though wild and free But soon you'll know the ringing of the rifle from the tree Oh, the rifle, oh, the rifle In our hands will prove no trite bone You may ride a good late speed, you may know it's turn to master. You forward march with speed, but you'll learn to back much faster when you meet our mountain boys. And the leader just starts glad to make what little noise and always hits the mark. Oh, the rifle, oh, the rifle, in our hands will prove no trifle. And he no grave to home back across the briney water And he must come like well it's a to the slaughter But it's the way the job must do and the sooner it is begun If Lyndon's figure hold the buck through the quicker it will be done Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands we'll prove no true rifle Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands we'll prove no true rifle Hey you guys, we're back at the Intelligence Report. You got a couple of pieces of history there. The first, the marching song, the Daniel Morgan Rifle Corps. The second, you know, I got that back. What you just heard was the marching song for Daniel Morgan's rifle and a bit of inspiration. The Marine General wrote that during World War II, Mark and the Marine thing anymore. But, you know, we could, one day I wanted go through that we've we've done that to a certain extent with the uh... visitor from the past go through it line by line and just you know little bits of this is what this true and you know this is how it's happening but uh... we might take that apart one day this is my rifle a lot of it's pretty self-explanatory you know this is my rifle again a couple bits you know what though this morning i talked about the Ken Bow which is like a little wooden sword talking about uh... improving self by knowledge of footwork, knowledge of real close. And then drawing that bow, you know, there's this story about this guy. If he could draw the bow, he could become king. You know, some men can't do to a great big old bow, but you know, the average look at like these compound bows, you might get up to 80 pounds, even more pull on that with let off. But you know, when you bring that bow up and you draw that bow back, there are a portion of the same muscles that you use for when you convert yourself to what one might call, Mark, a different weapons platform, you know, same platform, a rifle. You hold that bow, even if you're not a bow shooter, when you hold that bow at full draw, even if it's an 80 pound bow and it's 50% let off, you still have that 40 pounds of pole there. Now if you get used to that, holding up that 7 pound rifle isn't going to be a whole lot, is it, Mark? You know where I'm going with this you guys. This is exceeding the thing because you've heard it many times. We'll train as we fight, so we will fight as we've trained. There's numerous variations of that old axiom there. In this way, what you're doing is exceeding. You're taking one weapons form and working with it for a while so that another weapons form in a much lighter and less demanding physically. that whole weapons form be it a M16, AR15, M1, FN, whatever. Even if it's just a little camp nine, you will be more, let me see, stable with it. Because, man, I gotta pick this thing up. Well, you just, over time, you built up a little more upper body there. And here's something that is kind of a, I'm gonna be down the myth bust here on weapons when you and I aren't. beyond the age that we can still put on muscle mass. We're both in our fifties you guys. And if you work at it, a healthy 50 year old male, if he works at it, should be still able to put on muscle mass if you work at it right. And you know what, if not, you should probably go see your doctor because something's probably wrong with you. So when we talk about the weapons platform, we're talking about not something, you know, like granted, I'm going to sit here and I'm not going to, I'm not going to sit here and tell you that I never was a runner. I can't run from here to the corner with most 30 year olds, but I'm also of the mind that a long-distance shooter shouldn't necessarily be a fast runner. You know where I'm going with that. But again, you can be 50, 60 years old and still a grown man mark and put muscle mass on if you work. So again, I'm just trying to encourage you to maintain the weapons platform, you know, that which as that up in the top there behind the ocular imagers, your eyeballs, behind your auto sensors, or rather between those audio sensors, your ears, and all of that wondrous bit of gray matter that controls the weapons platform. That is you when you choose to live in that world. I'll be quiet now. Well, I think the big thing here too is again where we work the body in one direction especially since you are an extension of your weapon and the weapon is an extension of you. Yeah, I know that's a circle, but the bottom line is guys that your weapon system is as good as the individual holding it and integrating with it. First of all, we have the battlefield computer involved here, the mind, the human brain, which by the way is what all artificial intelligence is trying to copy, number one. Number two is we need to be physically connected to the arm and then the battlefield computer obviously is regulating the body to get the weapon performed to the best of its ability. We have to be physically capable. Now, we don't mean that you have to be able to run five or six minute miles. We aren't looking for Superman here, but we are looking for his muscle tone and being able to control the body to bring the weapon to its optimal position ergonomically for you. Now, one of the things, I don't know if you guys ever talked about this before, but settling the body is critical with rifle and pistol marksmanship. And one of the tricks, there's a technique to this, and it's hard to talk, I guess we can talk you through it on the air, but what I want you to do is this, empty your weapon, drop your magazine, make sure your weapon is clear when you get out to the range. And I want you to put your hands on your firearm, you grip the weapon the way you normally would, combat grip, okay? You can also do this offhand. If you're going to do this offhand, what I want you to do is first of all settle your feet shoulder width apart. Now you can either use the Perry stance, there's a couple of others that are out there, offhand turning your body about 45 degrees or 65 degrees to the target. The other option is to settle your body perpendicular to the target area. In other words, parallel with the range, the line of fire that you're going to be using. Now I want you to take your weapon, let's use offhand first. I want you to take your weapon offhand, properly grip it. I want you to close your eyes. And I want you then to take your weapon, extend your hand the way you normally would for offhand firing. And I want you to move your body around, forgive me, not your body, your arm, until you find what is the comfortable point for your system, for your torso, where your arm is resting, et cetera. Where does it feel comfortable? Now, once you have it where you can feel that you can actually settle your body onto your, onto your skeletal structure and where that weapon feels most comfortable, you're not putting stress too far to the left or stress too far to the right, I want you to open your eyes and look to see where that weapon is pointed downrange. Oh, it's not aligned with the target, is it? Now it might be, if you're really, really, really lucky. Remember, there's only so many degrees you can point that weapon in to your front. Now, once you feel comfortable and you identify where that weapon sits, I then want you to take your left foot, if you're right handed and you're using your right hand, and I want you to move your body and move that arm into the target area. But I want you to keep everything else as far as the upper part of your body where it is. What you're doing is you're finding the the best ergonomic position for you to use the weapon for combat You know in a combat stance combat firing either for long-range offhand shooting or if you're doing this in a combat combat stance once you do the same thing but grip the weapon with both hands as you normally would cup the cup the second hand that's controlling the firearm and Neither thumb makes contact with the pistol Now this is hard to explain, but the basic rule as I was taught years ago is a good pistol marksman doesn't have thumbs. That sounds weird, but there's a reason. Everything that makes contact with your handgun effects the performance of the firearm. Okay? So what you're going to do is cup the firearm with the thumb riding away, pulling not pulling away, but riding how your thumb naturally bends away if you're wanting to move the knuckle of the thumb. Well, that's what I want you to do. I want you to cup the weapon, and then I want you to bring your other hand up. Now I want you to do the same thing again. I want you to close your eyes, take up your combat stance, and feel where your left and right arm are not going to be stressed one over the other where in other words you get equal energy and you're feeling comfortable but you're also able to rest the body on itself. Now open your eyes again and look at your target. Oh you're not looking at the target. You're a little off by 15 degrees, 17 degrees, hey up to 30 degrees. Well here's the thing, bring your body or lower body around, bring your feet around and adjust accordingly. Now practice by closing your eyes, bringing your weapon out of its holster or out of its shoulder holster whatever, bringing it up into combat position and now see how comfortable and natural that is. Now I'm not going to say do it this way for each person as far as you know like angle, 45 degrees, mandatory no matter what. Why? Well because Don's body has had physical reactions and physical experiences that Mark's body hasn't had. You've been bent in different ways, you've been hurt in different ways, you broke body parts, you may have had a stressed out arm, you may have had ligament or tendon damage at one point or another, or you're just a different size person. or maybe you're in real good health but man you moved that 150 cal, that 150 caliber cans down that hill and into that bunker just an hour and a half ago. Man, that just kind of stretched your shoulders a little bit. Body feels a little different. You need to know, and each person's a little different in size, from extra small to extra large. And so what you need to do is adjust your marksmanship, your combat marksman stance, to fit your body so that you are a gun platform. There's the best explanation for everybody who can understand that one. You're a gun platform. Okay, yeah, your mission with that weapon is to engage the target effect. No, here's the thing. Once you've adjusted your body, lower torso, the lower part of your body and your torso accordingly, and your arms are where they're supposed to be, repeat practicing going into this stance constantly. This is repetitive training and repetitive conditioning. Now it doesn't mean that there aren't other options. In other words, if you're under certain conditions, you have to use certain stances. And for anybody who's ever done any work in exposed positions, they teach you basically become the smallest possible target you can because in a firefight, whoever it is that's out there, guys, typically they're a lot more nervous than you are. Ideally, you want to be just a hair more nervous. And the smaller the target area that you present, obviously the better. You're going to be at returning fire and not getting hit. OK? So you don't have to tell me that, but the basic rule is when you're using your weapon in a certain way, remember that the more stable the platform, the more probable the first round hit. If you can go to supported position, and in other words, in preparation to engage a target, your first round probability will also go up more dramatically. When you can take cover and return fire effectively utilizing these combinations that you will learn, you will find that you become superior on the battlefield when it comes to engaging and putting down specific targets, no matter the weapon that is being used. In other words, you make do with what you got, you take from the other guy what you just, you know, put who you just put down, what he has, and now you can do a better job with the next engagement. But accuracy, no matter what the weapon is, is critical. First round hits count. 500 misses do not constitute a cumulative hit. video game.

Not cheap mercenaries selling out to petty dictators under UN control, the colonial marines are there to protect and defend the Constitution and Bill of Rights of our nation. Not a globalist agenda for world domination. For more information, send a self-addressed stamp envelope to... intelligence report. And you know Mark, we're in the last, first hour here. I want to just touch on this here because I'm certain there's been examples of it. And you might recognize the basic thought line if you've taken the time to read all that big green book that Congress issues. You know, it's a record of the who have been awarded the Medal of Honor. We've touched on a number of ranges here of I talked about not being able to run down the road matching that 30 year old. But you know, there's a lot of Korean War veterans out there and there's still World War II veterans out here that you could well imagine one day they know that it might very well be. So I'm gonna pick up that gun and I'm gonna walk out there and I'm gonna be over the hill with the red boys. And to them, they'd be with the boys. Just them youngsters, them whippersnappers. In his mind, I'm pretty certain I'm not gonna make it home today, but I know I need to make it to the battle. So again, you have to understand The only people who pray won't be involved, be the women and children, the elderly and the infirm. Isn't that who works? The combatants that are in front of us guys there will be scallywags and pirates around us and amongst us that will be trying to do dirty deeds thinking that they can get away with stuff while other people are busy defending themselves on the frontier so to speak and this has always been the case so all of you that are listening right now you have wives you have family and friends that need to get on the range they need to shoot more I don't care what it is that you have okay But get on the range with more time and the .22 is still the best solution for the job because A, more affordable, you have more rounds that can be put down range gaining more experience progressively. You can find weapons that match your combat tactical arms pretty much across the board. And I don't care what the heck it is, you can use a .22 for training. However, I don't want to get hit with a .22, I don't care what anybody says. especially since if we understand the three round the kinetic energy concept of utilizing more than one round to engage a target the double and triple taps real That's right, you're looking at a 30 to 40 grain projectile, that means you're putting 90. It depends on who makes the bullet, by the way, and there are many different. You can spend whatever you want on 22. I better bring it up first real quick. You can go Standard, Winchester, Western, Remington, Lawman, whatever 22 is out there, but you can go right up into the $5.50 round box for 22 if you want. And you can buy pretty much any kind of load you can imagine. For those of you who are not familiar with that, do a little investigating out there. If you want a performance 22 round that's really going to get the job done, depending upon the application, you can go any velocity, you can go any weight. Of course, we're not talking hundreds of grains here. We're talking 22 rimfire guys. But we're talking variations in performance to include expansion levels with copper wash, hollow point. You've got the old yellow jacket, the stingers, and all of those that are out there. They expand up to a dramatic range. Well guys you can hit with three of those you're looking at again about a hundred grains of lead hitting you one two three Now it's it's a cumulative But this is one of the situations where when you make hits like this the shock trauma issue is part of the formula It actually is generated over several points of the target area So 22 has its application. And remember, if you've got a scallywag or a pirate who thinks they're going to steal food, take a car, RKPB, rape, kill, pillage, and burn, the idea is to put the dog down before he gets a chance to RKPB. And that could be a scumbag in a black uniform because they're hiring all types and they have been in amongst these swine for quite some time now. That's right. Take your pick. They're both the same click nowadays. People, they both have the same mindset. What's theirs is theirs, and what's yours is theirs too. Gee. So you've got to be prepared for the worst, but when you're not there, the women and the children need to be just as competent in defense, and anything and everything must be perceived as a weapon under those conditions. In other words, even if all they can do is fight hand to hand, remember, you teach them to use everything at their disposal. This is survival. This is a situation where we have some pretty nasty parasites out there who plan on destroying this country. You know, one of the things, real quick, probably the best example of this, this is a totally different direction, but it's still something I jumped out at me. I thanked for this article that was sent on. New York demands governor collect tribal cigarette taxes. Now, I don't care, the whole BS about attacking the Indians here, that's something that they've done for years. But the reason they're doing this, and they even said it right here, As let's see a new federal law strengths in New York City's case because it makes it clear that states and local governments can bring these types of lawsuits a city official said he noted the city can take advantage of this provision unlike a previous and largely unsuccessful lawsuit by a grocery store chain which argued that the tribal stores were unfairly competing by not charging taxes. Like the state, the city also must close a big hole in next year's budget and Bloomberg noted that Wall Street will owe few taxes for several years. Really? How would Wall Street be exempt from city taxes? How would any of you, do you think that any of you would be exempt from any city taxes or any state taxes if they wanted a parasite off your hind end? So, Mr. Blumboig, oh I am telling you, Mr. Blumboig, you know that pot-licking piece of bottom-feeding trash, that gutter snipe, along with this other, the latest gutter snipe they've got now, they're, they're parriciting anywhere they can. And their argument is, it's lost revenue because they couldn't steal from these people. It's not law, first of all, they don't deserve it, number one. But it's fascinating that you got a whole bunch of these other fat cats, these other scumbags that have lost trillions, stolen trillions, and we're dumping more on them guys. They're getting money. Think about this. Oh, they're going to be exempt. Why should they be exempt anything at all? What was it? Marcus at the AIG guys are going to Hawaii. Yee-haw. Yeah, well, after all, they're going to Hawaii. Yeah, the scam is in. Where do you think they got to go pay? They got to go spend some of that money they've stolen somewhere. Yeah. And you know what's funny about that is why? Okay, first of all, I always love when you do this, we need to have a business meeting in Hawaii or in Schmidlattville or wherever. Why? You're doing business. This is work. This is not supposed to be a party. If you are going to have to be isolated to figure out what to do with a business, plop your hind end down down the street at the Motel 6 and congratulations, you ain't getting a credit card to buy any floozies or pick up any liquor. That won't tell six. They've got a convention room, don't they? That's right. And congratulations. You've got computer hookups so that when the time comes you'll be able to jump right into work there when you're not busy with other processes of brainstorming. Yeah. Oh, let's run off to Vegas and discuss business and when we come back let's remember what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. So it was a worthless trip. Right. That was a wasted trip. What do you mean? Well, I can't remember a thing. What do you mean? Were we working on a job? Well, I thought we were, but there's like this force field that says, forget. Forget. Forget. Forget. So anyway, the point is that this is an example of why, again, you've got these bottom-feeding parasites that are going to be grubbing off here from every direction, people. And the bottom-feeding parasites can be just as quick to be wearing funny black uniforms or suits or whatever. They're criminals. And they're going to be sending people out to steal from you in all directions. Why? Because the butt buddies that they are swapping spit with behind the scenes in the smoke-filled rooms, they're all going to get the wink and the nod. Now you know what? Those hypocrites need to be run out of this country. Period. In fact, they need to be arrested, they need to be tried, they need to be put away. But, that probably is going to require more of a war to deal with that problem. And everybody knows it. In fact, everybody does know it. I talked to too many thousands of people this last weekend, and you know what? They all express the same thing. It's close, it's obviously going to happen. Buy more ammo, get ready for war. All of you out there listening, mom and dad, grandpa and grandma, the wife and the children, you do need to be capable and competent. No, we're not expecting you to be up there on the front lines, but you know what? While we're dealing with one problem, you don't know what's going to be happening behind the scenes, and we want to make sure that you're safe and secure. So start studying. listening, take the time, get on the range, learn what it is that needs to be done so that you will be able to take care of yourself. The wife, the daughter, the son, whoever it is, all of you are going to be mutually responsible for knowing where everybody is, who's who in the zoo, and what to do if there is a problem. I will bring this up as a case in point. We're at the top of the hour, by the way. Well, you know what? We'll talk about that in the next hour. There's something here that I'll touch on, too. We have a party on the beach this weekend guys. It's wet. It's getting colder. Make sure you bring your basic gear along so that if you do have a problem on the road, you aren't going to have a problem on the road. Know what I mean? That's how it works. Anyway, Don, as always, God bless the Republic. death to the new world order we shall prevail ladies and gentlemen the empire is on the run hope you're on the march both day and night hoo-rah. Six man ants kicking down the road taking them to the coast give them a backpack full of dipole machines and none of them talk to a couple of those bad guys on the other oh wait a minute they're not gonna make it Don I don't think they'll make it halfway. Thank you Don God bless you Mark God bless you America. The sun's just here, the sun's the sun!
