Temperature is over 98 degrees and your air conditioner simply can't penetrate your blanket where your body heat is being trapped. The bed fan's revolutionary design directs cool air between the sheets where it's really needed. No more tossing and turning to keep you up all night. The bed fan's thin streamline design is simple to install and fits between your bed and foot board. And did I mention how much money you're going to save by turning down your air conditioner overnight? Please don't let another sleepless night go by. Get your bed fan by going to bedfan.com or calling area code 210-632-8280. I had a dream the other night that, well, I didn't understand. 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 buy 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 is 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 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... Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedom 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 in each God-given right. And pray to God to keep the torture freedom bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist from 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 fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Dill the land of the gentleman you are tuned to the intelligence report has to all points of the compass and to each and every one of our brothers and sisters on and behind the lines in occupied territories by the Ready Tree Radio. By many and other various venues from CB to Use Your Imagination AM and FM and again the intel calendar here 24A Lawson. His life is lurking in the wind. Hopefully it won't be needed. Okay. You guys there's being done in particular places and because of that here we are. This obviously works if a 14 year old can follow my instruction. He's all f***ing better than I ever did. I only had 6. Well, no. You know, you catch the worms and the corn and the bread and other stuff. I caught catfish and stuff. I never managed to catch anything on a lure ever. Oh, well. Well, you know, it probably helped if there was some adult willing to actually show you how to do it. Well, I have... You might catch a piker. Showed him how to clean them on one. Flayed them out like a pro. I mean, this kid's a... many folks out there and it got him really looking so busy trying to find stuff to show him and go hey you know I have to interject because it should be hard to trip and gotta tell you guys this the tree got sick if I bow out but what do you think about everything I'm showing him my business later and there was I mean did you do that entirely by just you know looking for or did you bait him or what did you do he was in a rock pile and they come out of this rock and again you should have seen his face he come up and he fell down We got one! We got one! things This is the fellow who is talking about there being some hundreds of raccoons per square mile even in urban terrain. Urban generally has more racking areas. More raccoons, you can't bother them. They don't bother. But you know, if your free huggers are rude, they would never let you begin with. I think people feel guilty. They feel like, well, you know, we ought to feel guilty about this. So as guilty as I do. The things that you don't want to do as a child, you know, you ought to. You don't like doing them, so anything that feels bad, they are conditioned to think that, well, that's our task, that's our duty. I think a lot of people kind of buy into this crazy tree stuff, not the crazy tree stuff, because, gee, it tastes bad, it must be good for us. Yeah, but if they truly understood the wild one. Your goal is to replace some of the predators, also predators, which is a pretty good thing if you want your children to actually be able to play in the park and so forth. I've been trying to wipe them darn skulls. That's how important trapping is. You want to increase life for you, you've got to thin down them predators. I don't know if you guys heard. Thirteen in that age range, he wrestled the coyote off her and called for a medal. They gave him a big award. There was one brave man, the coyote had rabies. The other thing, for sure it had rabies because he had no matter, not enough people. You want to survive, you've got to understand the whole, all the months and what's going on. and when you do it. Like this time of year generally you leave them alone and that's where you're going to eat with fish out there. Maple mow is just amazing. Oh that just reminded me of something I'd read about. I haven't tried this because people have ads for something along that line and you want to maximize in there. Taken to hanging a little light bulb far above the wall, the idea being to attract a lot of the bugs in a certain water and that just. Nowadays we've got these little photo cells and we've got LEDs. be even easier to do. You can do the same sort of thing. You find the right ones. Once you get them trained, you know where to go. Actually, I guess you've got all of the parts you need from one of those driveway lights. If you take it apart so that the gear up in a tree where it can actually see something, and then you've got a dangling wire with a little LED on the end over the water, you'd be all set. Yeah, that's it. And that's all you get. See, people are thinking what survival is. going to have to think outside and you've got to get out there. And that's what, you know, the kid said it's really good today. He goes, you know, I'm out in the woods, the more I'm understanding. And this was in four days. Look, at night, I'm counting from them lots of attention. I'm making sure he's picking all this stuff. 14-year-olds also are natural predators. You know, they're at the point where the hands and the feet go in them places. They were down the road. You'd probably have a hard time getting his attention. He'd be chasing the girls. So over time during the week and then go camping and fishing. quality time. I'm really blessed. I just take for granted. I took them out. Before you guys call a Alicia member, you all should have that space. It's aware that the root is another part of it that is as well. I had somebody explain the energy and to build it. You guys, I do some of the ... We'll take that seed pod in there and throw it away. That's the most easy thing to the eye. There's a pot pepper that's actually edible. These are green pepper compared to the hull of a green or red pepper. I think somebody's missing his garden. Well now, sweet peas I can actually see. I'm, you know, not a big fan of peppers, so I like to tweak all the people that... Oh no, these are mild peppers. Bell peppers and red... you know, I'm apart right and take the seeds if you want to have one good hot pepper. I couldn't test that. I think eating instructions... Just eat the hull of it. ...is what they eat. Bourbon yuppies around here that think it's illegitimate to do anything about any critter. That's stuff to groundhogs and raccoons. When you mention raccoons again, I'd like to... I'd like to... once it got in and actually they called up the SID parents, it was to be careful when you're in the city, you're going to have to survive if you're going to survive at home, even if you're in outskirts and to maneuver. A situation like that can only grow if you start out with a pathological arrangement. When we were kids, this is a neighborhood with our BB guns and all this sort of stuff. Not too many had air rifles because that actually cost something. The problem with our cocoons is that the parents popped that one. You could press all that sort of natural behavior with the kids and you get these secondary side effects. Of course that's part of the whole anti-gun thing. Early teenager with an air rifle, they'd call a SWAT. Yeah, use caution and get your contacts out again. You can go to the website. I do call back. I've never done this. Now it's the time to learn. I think of a real old man in a federal regime. resources in the country. Bankers can come in one day with you in and foreclose on us. And they're going to also want to come in and take our guns, take up the food, and say come on and trade your guns. We'll give you some food and we'll pick you up in the nice warm FEMA camps. And we're not going to go. In buckshot, millions of us are going to live and be able to survive out in the wilds and have something to eat. And I'd rather buy half two than go to the FEMA camps. And we just really appreciate your buckshot. And thank you very much, sir. That's a legitimate intermediate tactic. Eventually we have to take the cities back. That's for you guys who haven't got bucks, it doesn't hurt to satisfy your trap life. The way they're hyperinflating this currency, the FRN notes are going to be worth it someday. Buckshots, knowledge, and traps are going to increase in value and we'll be able to feed ourselves and you can't put a price on that. I've got your first self or anything, I know it's out of print now, and I won't sell it for anything, I'm going to get your second book and get some more traps. Well, if Buckshot were a tricky guy, he would have held out a couple of cases of that first edition. He could eBay them one at a time, you know. Yeah, if I was just chasing the buck, I would have made a lot more selling them after they were out. I wrote the other book, so many people are begging for this knowledge. And here it is, folks. And I mean, it's $20. I think $20 today is nothing. And the knowledge in that book the other techniques I've showed in it and the basics. Just think about it. I've been trapping for 34 years. You're getting 34 years worth of knowledge on training. And then the videos and everything else. Passing this knowledge on, and that's my life goal. Get out there and do grizzly bear attacks on people. Oh, isn't that interesting? Land shark. Yeah. see how many people we can kill with the fair back to down and the world finisher well now that that's one of my longtime gripes you know back in the forty fifty sixty-six and so on you didn't have problems with their attacks because pretty much everybody you know anytime a bear met a human in the woods the human was carrying a rifle and the bears were you know even the grizzly bears are kind of ornery characters you know you try to stay out of their way anyway but uh... cuz they're awfully big and they're awfully mean but Most of the bears, if they met a human, that human was carrying a rifle. All these tree huggers and their fancy sneakers and their backpacks and their lunch basically. Be unhungry. Well, we'll get a hiker. Yeah, well, they're not really after the hiker. They're after the hikers backpacking each other. Well, you see a bear. Drop your backpack and run away. And after a while, the bears learned that there's tasty goodies in those backpacks. Walking backpacks, no hazard and there is no problem. It makes me think, Dave, you keep shark attack down. to determine different colors that these attention to. And they figured the May West at the back. I don't know if they were international orange at the time. They determined that this is called Yum Yum Yellow. Kind of like a back. Yeah, the flip side is a bright green. Currently that looks like some of the poisonous. A lot of creatures don't like it. Lime green was all the rage. Maintating Azim. Buck shot. How are these snares arranged? They set up so that there's a mechanism and craft wire or something along those lines. Does it make sense to have a one shot or how does that work? You can do it. I'm too bad. Forward to reattach cable to the latching mechanism. So you got a rough grip. That means the spool of this got a pretty good system. A buckshot SpaceX that I assume in different gauges. Right, use the 160. I could think of other uses for that. So you know as barrier uses. Don't walk there, walk this way. So did we get another beep? Do we have another caller? Someone with a question. Not a talkative one. Yeah, there you go. I don't want to make it. We can speak in the training. Texas militia. Our next one is June 19th. We're having a training exercise on 300 acres of private land at the weekend of June 19th. We have a website and center website and center live fire, meeting each other with airsoft pellets. We learned how to fight and maneuver with a rifle at previous militia. or military experience. Most men don't know the order of fire maneuver and how to fight as a group, how to fight as a group. Thank you very much. to top of the hour.
