The intelligence report marked and done every morning at 6am pacific times, Monday through Friday. The intelligence reports march and on every morning at 6am Pacific time, Monday through Friday. I want the people to know that they still have two out of three branches of the government working for them and that ain't bad. 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, 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, the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Just 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. 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 sake. You've given government control, threw you harm, so they could burn down churches and seize the family and keep our country. Put men of God in jail, harass your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit their children. The 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, ones 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. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, but we have ourselves to blame. Or even now as tyrants trampled each god-given right, we only watched him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. 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? turn seaboard once again, oh, Smokey Mountains, eastern side of the country. That's right, the Smokies, the Blue Ridge, all the way, project. Party on the beach on Saturday, party on the beach on Saturday and a, on Sunday, a on Sunday, on the sunshiney day. But you know what, wow, we've been talking, wow, what a surprise. Mainly clouds to the south again. There'll be out there otherwise, attention, weather shift out there in the least. Don, because of weapons Wednesday, we're gonna have a subject, so we've been a mix of things including the PTR rifles and where they went with that and how that's looking but trying to give you solutions so that you know where to go and what tell you what that 1911 we're creeping up we're not creeping up where this is August we're almost to the official anniversary of a particular handgun and you're only there would have been the year actually well leading up to 1911 the US military had been testing many many different pistols anyway and actually there was a great deal and weapons questioning that was going on through design. The original Colchley and a 9 millimeter, although they called it a 39 millimeter type were successful. They actually functioned quite well. But they also had another kit. Everybody that used it seemed, and it was in a large, almost half inch diameter. Killer load would eventually become known as the 1911's, you know, it's the 1911's chambering 45 automatic cold pistol. And it proved itself in combat where Many people picked up the trip to the 1911 and used it either in the Chinese Boxer Rebellion slash the fight for Peking or they used it down there in the Philippines. Those guys in the Philippines down there were a little unique weren't they? Oh yeah, they were put into history you guys. Even onto today there is... And by the way, once it makes point of contact, most livered against the target. That was the point where it's like, oh, I guess you're not going any farther after that one guys. Think about it. And in that time frame there were also, it's again, it's the other thing we say. Just ask both. You can go back over to that. Throw a, we have that 2-2. This example, like Adam, or do you want to throw some out the challenge? Let's let them in the N-R. Bring about a common caliber after the end of that. It was noticed that militias brought, you might have seven for the, you know, militias. Go in in the background. Oh, if you got, that's gonna be kind of a little bit of a mark. You've talked about this 2-3 militia. If we do that, they'll just choke off that caliber. Okay, send all these guns over there commonality talking about now that's going to be something that moves you forward that's going to be something when when you look over and say hey Frank talk to me a magazine it's probably going to fit in your gun that's a good thing isn't it Marc? especially when you look at the future and where tennis guys these are all tools we're going to need you know your knowledge is power well I hear the music knowledge of the fact that we have to go to break Don hey it's the first break in the last hour of this I don't need to tell you that the world is headed down the wrong to serfdom and slavery. But I doubt that you fully understand how bad it might get for you. Our once wonderful government has been hijacked by gutless globalists that are committed to a world government where everything is under their control. Every person will be catalogued, tracked, stamped, and microchipped. And they fully expect most to go quietly into this slaughterhouse like a mindless, captured all the key positions of power and control most of what people think and do the walking dead we will have a revolution at some point even they know this but only those of us that are fully prepared to protect and feed ourselves and our families long term will ever see the end of this evil time right now Just every bite of food you take is vile. Manipulated, cost-bred, inbred, unnatural, and lacks any nutrition. The answer is to start growing your own healthy heirloom vegetable garden. The first bulk heirloom seed company, exclusively for patriots like you. Now a lot of copycats have followed me. Pretenders and slick marketing companies. But nobody on earth can match my offer to you. 50 varieties of heirloom vegetables. Over 10,000 nutritious seeds that will produce an unlimited supply of food for you and your family. Some now keep the rest in my time caps for the days of great trouble. I'm Big John Lipscomb and my solution to overcoming the new world order is Bible-ist food insurance against tyranny. I ain't giving up. I hope you don't either. formula there. One of the interesting things here about our situation is, you said it may not work three ways, look what's happening half a country away. Just with how extreme and variable the conditions and situations are. Depending on where you are, determine, think you're going to need to be able to reach for them to have to adjust their toolbox accordingly. One other thing, on this note, I got to remember before I forget, that 1911 you're carrying down, it was an excellent article and I was thinking about reading it. It's rather lengthy though, but it's actually put up on James Rawls you know survival blog dot com you know what is what is it with all these people not carrying full-size weapons as field weapons there's no reason not to specifically compressing it is that forty five that real standard frame the knockdown power of a full caliber weapon is what you want and get used to the idea that there are ways to carry it people are getting and what this thing happened remember the rancher that got shot people get a little lazy guys I don't need to carry the gun, I'll put it on something and let something carry it for me. And because of that, it was not able to soothe his hand and result. Toolboxes and also different conditions when you're the mechanic. You'll think about it. Survival. We're looking at, you know, whether or not you're willing to survive, whether or not you're willing to defend yourself. I mean, some people want to just lay down, hey, don't be too close to me. Or step up front there. I want me to carry you. Yeah, well one of the things about the step up front part is if you want to be the first casualty Please go right ahead that want everybody else to watch this because they all have this movie idea of how things are gonna work and After you get to see what happens when somebody just figures. I'm just gonna lay down peace love dope Yeah, okay. Well watch how the garbage machine works here in the meat mulcher. Is that bad? Okay, well we got call is this. Oh, yeah, of course. Hey guys So another one that you can just shoot your hand gun at them. Nice thing is the bullet down a traditional policy of engineers in Russia, one of the things about not wasting a moment's worth of factory time. If something was not quite as snuff, but there was a mistake that was made, or something was busted or cut down, it was milled down the rest of the way and it was used in the next process. And that's why their bullet diameter is consistent, and of course the AK. So the bullet would be connected. What's the material on the chamber, on the cartridge chamber insert? Is it stainless or is it standard carbon? It's standard blue stuff, that's all you gotta do. I'm calling them to help you right back. Hard to imagine when things are going reasonably well. Just how quickly things can change. But what would it take? Economic collapse? Massive crop failure? Chemical or biological attack?

The guy who did build Supervel years ago started here actually a combination of Michigan and right there in Pennsylvania. And what he did is all of his hollow points were designed so that no re-engineering of the weapon would have to take place. If you're using, you know, for instance, the reason for the throat of 45 is if you're using competition, you know, slash wadcutter. A lot of guys were using that to tighten up their loads and for competition purposes in the pistol matches. In the hollow point, it's because of the pitch and bevel of the project. You've got to remember, you've created this big open space. Winchester came up with a couple of different bullets over the years that basically overcame any feed-ews that might occur. It doesn't happen all the time, but again as we know we don't want feed failure to happen at all. And we've got the people with the skilled trades to do it and they came forward, they stepped forward and looked at the problem and they developed things accordingly. The big thing is that typically there's a little bit of a roll over the cart in front of the bullet. And what that does is it ensures that there's no jagged or sharp Plus the taper of the bullet itself so that around that edge never can make contact with any edge of the barrel to begin with is the balance. That's where the balance difficult. Super-Vels were not cheap. In their day where the prints, if you wanted an Ultra-Hawk, you went to Super. Everything from 25 automatic, 45 ACP, and everything in between. And they guaranteed double expansion. Whatever the bullet diameter was, basically Super-Vels came as close to double expansion. as possible. Mushrooming, you know, the bullet right out and delivering all the energy in that bullet against the target, the kinetic energy. The Winchester solution, I haven't, you know, that's a good point. I have not seen them in bulk like that, but I know, I'm sure they still come in the, you know, the hundred count bullet boxes as a issue. You might be able to find them though if you're lucky from one of the bullet companies, especially the manufacturers, Winchester, not sure if you're here for that. And there are seconds. gone to the spears and there's a whole big warehouse off to the side where assed runs or oddball, you know, bullets or big boxes combined quantity. Less and less of that with the interest in ammunition guys in the last year and a half so that the area of the wear leveled off and it's not quite as high and I like to mix the mag. And I know we get a call out but one of the things is the initial contact and this is why soft point or hollow points are a good option for your first part of your magazine load, the target tip is going down. But If things happen, you miss. Guess what? The next round's got to get through stuff. Now it's got to get through stuff and that's where the ball ammunition will penetrate and still offer good energy on the other side. Another caller, who do we have? Marcus, again, I apologize for missing you all on the break. You got a CV 55.45. I'm not giving you a prescription. You know, but I need to do something with it to be denied, but there are guys that did it on violent active duty years ago. Remember, peace guys. 200 and they were selling for $199.95. Get them on sale. and they even had a few for $179. You could buy the 410s for $179 at that time. And what we did is we pointed out, guys, there's the cheapest magazine-fed shot market. Once they started using it, everybody started liking it. Where we have drum, they goes out there, guys. The only thing I would ask is this. Now, I know we've got this, Marcus. We've got guys out there listening. You know, Don, they called in. We've got guys in machine shops right now. And they're wondering, what kind of project could we pick up? Well I'll tell you what you do guys, I like the drums that they built, or like the Mitchell drums of the 90s. They went with a clear plastic bag. Now I'm going to tell you historically, these will run fine for a period of time, but don't be surprised if something happens. You know, down the road. It's going to be a malfunction because it's designed as a, you know, it's in polymer. For our guys that have the machine shops, at see and seeing all of those parts, that's where again, what we're looking We've got machine shops. Well, the thing is that the Sega one that's out there now is fairly compact and I looked at the specs on it, some of the close-up imagery. The best solution for this would be to do just like you see with OC Chopper. So that guy does those custom parts, have him program that whole hole, and then step back and watch the machine go meeep, meeep, meeep, meeep, meeep. Wow. Instead of some goofy motorcycle part, well actually you could tell him, what is it? It's a rear view mirror holder but it's armored because they had to put the hollow cavity where the mag plate is. Face that mirror. Yeah, but I'm paring. That's right. Don't have to worry about it. The cover plate could be done in metal also. Again, it could be stamped. The idea behind this is that the first time I saw when they did this motorcycle chop shop stuff is like, how many 45 frames can you... Or how many slides could you... Or what else could you make with... I mean, my first motorseaver. Yeah, my first motorcycle custom wheel would be about 10-45 frames, one after another after another in a circle. And that would just sit on the shelf. What a great way to conceal putting lots of weapons parts on the shelf and having them wait. Wouldn't that be neat? And then all you do is you just cut off saw the front of the frame, cut off saw the base plate on them. You got to do it where the connecting points aren't going to affect the operation of it or it could be milled out the rest of the way by hand with a rat file. Just think about it. You could have frame frames. frame frame. Wow, those are really cool spokes. It looks like a gun. Yeah. Yeah. Never put it on the bike. It just hangs on the wall. Oh, it's just custom, man. I just thought it'd be cool. Then when the time comes, you break out the hacksaw and go, oh, one for you. We got, hold on guys. We got eight more. Just step back, step back. Where are your parts? That's exactly how people should be doing stuff. What could they say? No, dude, it's a motorcycle wheel, man. As it is, the old KQ Ordnance does it basically that way. Nice paper weight. Yeah. There's again solutions, not just one men thing about the problem. At that time, the, it's not been demilled, it's not, they got it on the, so guys, auction, that means they know you, but guys, you go to the government is selling them, they got a huge auction mark, you might know it, but. I think it's govauctions, auctions.gov, I'm gonna check either way. In fact, I think it's setupions.gov at 10,000, that's what an interest bid, that's what they used to do when you were doing large format sealed bids with vehicles. One of our guys, we all got together, in fact, it was one of the last big piles of M151 Ford month Jeeps. and we paid $14.50. We paid $14.50. We bought 420 of them. 420 was an odd number. And the only problem is we had to disassemble it. You take everything off, cut it. They told you to cut it. You had to cut it. Now, you could cut it any way you want. You could cut it with a torch. And the finer the wheel, the easier it was for the tub to go back. And the frame, the wheels came off. You had industrial garbage bags, you had industrial cargo bags. Disassemble the Jeep. Everything came off and the bag was numbered. And literally, it was a refabrication plant at the other end. The thing was this, the original tubs, we made it and all the guys did, they were welders from Tarkom. What we did is they turned right around and we had the back on the jig. The rods were better than the original metal, than the original sheet metal. These guys were so fast I could not keep up with them. I mean, I'm looking at them and it's like, man, this was a waste of... The government wasted our time is what they did. Because we got the things for 14.50. It took us, we headed down to a science. We could break down an M1514 mud in about 28 minutes. Even as we were, you know, when I say 28 minutes, half of that was the other crew stepped in. So we were already on another vehicle in less than 40, had Jeep ambulances, you know, the extended rear pull. And what we did is we... That was back in the day when we were buying a lot for $25 on the rims, so we got them all out, except for maybe I think a statement, we can't let you have those because there was something that they wouldn't let us have. Gear, and then they finally let us come. The same is true with this brass. You had to have an interest bid. What is, you have to show interest. So it's usually a certified check. You don't actually give them the money. you give them an insurer and that's all that you need to get into the bid. Take it, you make it, whatever minimal bid balance in some cases. Typically they might claim to have a minimal bid. Whatever bid you put in, and another rule, always make it like, let's say, $1,600 and $0.55. $0.35. Yeah, exactly. $0.35, $0.45. And the reason for that is, whatever it is, even though they don't like it, they will, it should be even dollar amounts. No, they gotta take any penny you offer. a lot of men who got a lot of equipment that way through the DOD, Donative Destruction Auctions by seal bidding that extra, you know, five cents or 45 cents or 25 cents or whatever. I did. I mean guys, we were buying, we've got whole units here outfitted with M7-15s I bought for $60 a piece. $60.85, $0.32. I put out my early POs. It's like, well, you got the 30 cents? Yeah. P-O-P-E-S, shrimping, Mark, you're selling the, those, The modular sleep system sleeping bag? Yeah, basically $110. Especially where people are looking for a stream weathered bag or for a utility bag that's going to last, there's a solution. That's the best one. The bivvy cover works 50. Sometimes you have to say $45 to $75 just for the bivvy cover. But you can put any sleeping bag in it and stay dry. Excellent. We're going to let you go, sir. Thank you. God bless you, guys. Let's say, of course, ladies and gentlemen, Franklin Speacons, count on X. Don, your number for Night Vision. Three, one, seven, nine, six, four, five, eight. Very good, ladies and gentlemen, weapons Wednesday, but hey, broadcasting continues here on Liberty Tree and also on the Bicor effect. You stay tuned right here. Don't you change that dial. Check tomorrow at the same time. Got some of the Republic, seven. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is in the run, but we are on the run. Okay, and hoorah! Thank you, Don.
