The grassroots activists launched a counter offensive against the prevailing liberal economic and political order of the 1930s and 40s and grew into a powerful force in American politics. In those years, conventional wisdom considered New Deal liberalism and even socialism to be the wave of the future. Conservatives started small study groups to educate U.S. citizens about the evils of communism and then were prepared to rally for Barry Goldwater's campaign in 1964. Dr. Critchlow shows how Ronald Reagan's victories were based on a coalition of three groups. The fiscal conservatives who backed Barry Goldwater the anti-communist activists and the social conservatives who came into the political process in the campaigns against the Equal Rights Amendment and Roe v. Wade. This is a fascinating story. I urge you to read this book and join in the conservative movement. This has been a Phyllis Schlafly report from Eagle Forum.

I've just been handed an urgent and horrifying news story. And I need all of you to stop what you're doing and listen. www.themicroeffectlive.com Do not be distracted by the beautiful celebrity. Themicroeffectlive.com Welcome to the internet my friend. How can I help you? Ooh, could that be email coming my way? You have 1200 messages. It is a bit above average. Your connection for information on hosts, advertising, promotions, sponsorships, and much more. www.themicroeffectlive.com I've got the truth! The Micro Effect Live.com You will never find the more wretched hive of scum and villainous. www.themicroeffectlive.com We're welcome to America, amigo. Koo-ah! 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 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. But 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'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 use 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 will 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'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave. O 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, and pray to God, 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 his parents trampled each God-given right. We only watched him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If 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 if he called out from the grave, to build the land of the free and home of the free? the boxing back and forth and we have to be sharper and faster at dealing with this it is something we have done in the past but is also something we need to keep reminding our people of and to do this we also need a more efficient communication system in place in areas where before it hasn't necessarily been plugged in so pay attention take a look at the scenario that's being played out and watch for the telltale signs especially when you have certain city council or state meetings in the House and the Senate on safety and of course firearms. That's the flag right there. I hear the music. Say what? We're going to go to break. This is the Intel report. Donna Mark, Donna should be with us any moment now and we'll be back in about three minutes here on the micro effect in the morning. You built confidence. K.T.

The intelligence report, Mark and Don, every morning at 6am Pacific Time, Monday through Friday. The National Rifle Association says it's not guns that kill people, it's maneuvers. None are men. You should arm yourself. The intelligence report, Mark and Don, every morning at 6am Pacific Time, Monday through Friday. I want the people to know. that they still have two out of three branches, the government working for them, and that ain't bad. I've not yet begun to file myself. And ladies and gentlemen, we are back. This is the intel report live and it is Tuesday. It is a quality day outside here at Michigan just a reminder to make sure you take your ring gear with you because yes it is getting wet and good morning not an if it's just a whim we're gonna get rained out here oh I heard a voice in the background we have a caller yeah yeah this is Joe McNeil from Idaho oh no no go ahead Joe jump in there regular caller I have to make an apology here, man. We just got up on the air. Believe it or not. Uh oh. Well, it's okay. We've been having all kinds of strange things. You don't have to explain. What was going on? Well, we had... We have some equipment failure here a few days ago. Okay, so I rerouted everything through our backup system So we're running on duct tape and you know, I'm stuck to the phone again my ear. I can't feel my ear And what happened is a switch that news usually switch, you know Look for example in the morning if you don't get here on time it switches over to another feed well I didn't bypass the switch which has nothing hooked into it at this time and apparently there was enough silence there to just kick the switch out and there was nothing to switch to. Therefore, and Retro Sprag blocked anything else that would have been taking place because there was nothing to feed it. So my apologies to those out there listening here this morning. It's Tuesday. Well, that's okay. We actually the after the after the holiday too, which is a oh come on I have four-footed friend helping me constantly here too good key the One thing to remember is it's been a busy it has been a busy weekend for all hopefully you guys had a good time Well, yeah I tell you what, it's been, I don't know, it looks like it's going to start off this week as well. I don't know, I hope this backs off here pretty soon, but last week for us here at the studio was the week from hell, and that's the best way I can explain it. And apparently we're kicking off to a good start here. I took a day off yesterday and then first thing this morning. Usually when I roll out of bed first thing in the morning, I turn the satellite feed up and make sure we're on the air and everything is working good. And then if I hear that silence, usually I wait for the backup system to kick in but like I said we had some equipment go down last week and I had to bypass I had to use my backup system to get everything back up on the air so we don't have any backup anything right now and because of this other piece of equipment here that Actually is doing its job, but it just didn't have anything to switch to so Did we do we need a replacement right now? Is there something we need to take care of there? Well actually Yeah, there's about a $300 piece of equipment bin that went south on it, so I don't know what... It's a nightmare, man. And I can't complain because these pieces of equipment that I've been using, they're good pieces of equipment, but they were made like back in the late 90s. All right, I have two of them. Well, now I have one. The unfortunate part is you can't send them off and have them repaired because they're outdated and they were such a good piece of equipment when they were built that I don't know I contacted a Barringer and Asked him do you have you know an update on this a new model or anything? No? No, we just not going to make those anymore. It was too good of a product. I Thought well, what does that mean? Too good of a product But so anyway, the only way well, it was too long. Yeah, it comes down to well the only and the only ones that you can find obviously are used ones and you don't know how long they're going to last. So now I'm trying to find something equivalent to what I have and you know, it's a little bit of a journey, you know, seeking these kind of things out. So all I can do is keep fishing so like I said we're running I had to unplug everything man it was a nightmare I went you know jumping wires over here and over there but the nightmare isn't here yet because when I have to realign everything if we you know get us a new piece of equipment I have to figure out what we have for air. So let's see if we can have you know what we'll do is anybody who might have any possible assistance. I'm going to I can't get here any faster than that. So that's why we had the silence on the air here this morning folks. I just want to do apologize. Nothing I could do with that one. Everything was running great. I heard Phyllis Shafley and then the commercials and then we're done. Well, let me see what we can do. We're going to try to find out. It's not a getter. Which system do you have tonight? Is it a getter? Well, what it is, it's a compressor limiter is what it is. Oh, okay. Let's see if we can come up with a solution to this. I really don't want to mention the model number on the air. Right, that's okay, don't worry about that. Anybody who has an interest in supporting this might want to give them a call. We have a Joel call right away. We can come up with a mechanical solution for this. It may not be that far away. A lot of guys out towards the western half of the country running either stations or little subnetworks might actually have the system sitting there on the shelf. But, they may have gone to something else. Of course, they use it as their backup. But, for the primary network, this wouldn't be bad because typically, we're always hunting for these anyway. The Dayton Hamfest just took place. Sometimes, you never know what wobbles in there. Somebody might have picked up a pile or a box or something that might be useful. Because, what's useful for us is... somebody else's junk at this point in time because they are going to the latest and the greatest. Well, don't argue with them going to the latest and the greatest. Just get all that they've got and carry it home. That's all we want. If somebody out there is needing a piece of junk, I have something I can send you. There we go. It's toast. Actually, we're rebuilt. That is another consideration. And let me check on that too, because at least we can send that one out and have that tested up to see what's going on with it. Yeah, well, that's the problem, Mark. I've already been through this one time a couple years ago. There's nobody that can fix these things. So when they go, they're done. They're done just throwing the garbage can. No, don't do that. Wait, wait, wait. It's not trash yet. OK, well, I hear the music. I say what we're going to do. We're going to go over the top of the hour. Joe, anybody can call, 888-747-1968. You'd like to give them a little assistance here right now this morning? Again, the sooner we do this, the better off we'll be with the network in general. I hear the music, you're listening to the Microwave Effect in the morning. It is now almost seven o'clock on the left coast. Y'all better get up and grab that cup of coffee. We'll be back in about six minutes. God bless the republic. Death to the new world order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The empire is on the run. We're on the march. God bless and we'll be right back. I believe in Life Change T so much that I want to show you my loyalty by taking a punch to my face by heavyweight boxer, Bruno Tyrone Intense. They nicknamed him the Enhancer. Yes. Go ahead bro. Life Change T is... Pfft! God that hurt. Life Change T is so... Pfft! I don't know if I can do this. Life... Life Change T removes... Pfft! Cut! This isn't a crit. I can't even drink my tea. My lips are swollen. Your loyalty will not go unnoticed. It's easy to get healthy. It's not that hard. Just drink the tea.
