of molesting his own two children who are now adults and say it never happened. The son, who was nine years old at the time, was questioned alone for months until he said he had been abused in order to get the detective to leave him alone. The daughter, who was then age five, said she talked to the detective only after he gave her ice cream. There were many other violations of due process in Spencer's trial, such as prosecutors withholding medical exams that showed no evidence of abuse, and his court-appointed lawyer failing to prepare a defense. But the judge nevertheless sentenced Spencer to two life terms in prison plus 14 years. Spencer was five times denied parole because he refused to admit guilt. That's a customary parole practice that is maliciously designed to save face for prosecutors who prosecute innocent men. And I do think that rule ought to be changed. It's time for the American people to check up on their local family court. It would be a good idea for a local group to establish a monitoring committee to watch what is going on in their local family court. This has been the Phyllis Schlafly Report from Eagle Forum.

The intelligence report mark and dawn every morning at 6am pacific times Monday through Friday. As the national rifle association says it's not guns that kill people it's maneuvers. The intelligence reports mark and dawn 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. I've not yet begun to file myself. 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. 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 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 state trade 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 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. Your 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 will 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, freedom bright, as Iowocke vanished in the midst for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. Or 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 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. for the big network in the morning or also on liberty tree radio dot four m g dot com micro station c b bay station knowledge is both east and west of the mississippi along with seven in central a lot or the hallmark network on the eastern seaboard from the top of main to the bottom floor from the bottom of the floor across the ark of the gulf of mexico headed towards louisiana texas oklahoma choco debrasco let's not forget uh... the third of wyoming then iowa slash iowa Then over the Mississippi again, back towards the east. Oh, that's right, the Golden Spike Project running across. Slice the smoke, I'm pretty darn busy there. You've got to admit that it doesn't get any exciting than running and fiber optics. And they do a lot of wireless technology too. So all of these systems and more are being incorporated into, and we're making it happen. Now, that's to replace the internet when the time comes, because the bad guys are all talking about shutting this down and that down. Go ahead. They make more enemies and friends and more people come into our camp than ever before. So we really do shut down whatever. That's just that might be going to help to problems that the other sides create. It'll be a lot of fun too. Anyway, it's beautiful. This time, it's raining kind of. Okay, we had a bit of a downpour. Not even a downpour. The regular piddle was maybe 10 minutes and then after that maybe 20 minutes and then after that it's been kind of on enough little biddly spots here and there. here and there so it's going to be kind of a blah day here in Michigan. Be careful on the roads because this is the worst kind of driving. I'll explain in a second. Before we go any farther, what is the date today? You all know as well as I do. It's August 18th, the second year of Fabian Socialist and the socialist occupation of a mirror also means something else, doesn't it? What is that something else? Oh, that's right. It's weapons Wednesday. So we're going to be covering arms a little bit here. Well, more in a little bit. It'll be for the whole two hours. Paul Gohrzer might be other things need to be picked up on. Really critical. Now, since you might be out and about here, it's 909. 909. Ooh, symbolism there. I mean, boom, boom, boom. Stick the numerology up there. Anyway, here's 909 way out on the left coast. Well, here, if you're going out on the road, guys, remember, it's going to be warm weather. And we had just enough rain to pull on the creek and let it float up on top. So if you try to step on the brakes, like a lot of people are doing down the street here, just down the road, they're finding out that it takes a little more time to get those brakes to hold, you know, the tires to adhere to something. So brakes are working. See, we can't see the brakes don't work. That's not how it is. The brakes are working just fine. The tires, nobody ever says it this way, the tires aren't working, the tires aren't working. Because you see that's really what's happening. The brakes are working fine. You may note that at a given point you decide to press down a little too much and you lock those brakes right up and forward momentum continues. Now why is that? Oh, that's right, because that oil creates a lock between the surface your tires which normally apply some form of resistance as you slows you down. Well in this case for momentum energy forward is still applied but there's nothing there's no adhesion to help break the car. So the brakes are working fine it's just the tires aren't working for you. Okay there's a bad but never will you hear anybody scream tires have failed us. Blame the brake. How does that tell you about you know again misdirection and by people and by other people of course with the way they've engineered words. all work that way with other things too uh... real quick here by the way contrary whatever it's kind of hope is in motion and now hanging in the wings of the senate uh... we need to pay attention to this because of the least likely day is the most likely day they're going to try and get this thing run through and then of course it applies to the united states now be during a non-business day look at what we've seen in the pecking people with regard to fire everyone non-business day There's a minimal number of people voting on the colors in ladies' rooms of the house. Mostly, of course, because they need to get it through the Senate. Special, you know, and not only that, but probably also to, you know, to vote on what type of toilet blocks they should use for the urinals, etc., in the men's room. That'll knock out some of the other women right off the bat. We have no interest now whatsoever, unless they just want to be in the housekeeping, okay? And most of these characters, they don't do that. But there'll be a handful of people standing there, two, three, four, or they might even start the session of the very... going on what's going to happen as you and i both know what they're going to do is then bring four people into the room and they are going to pass all of the nonsense we're talking about and have been talking about for quite some time this is not going to make very many people happy but uh... depending upon how it works in with the timing for all the other nonsense overseas what's going on south of the border it's a the idea is that in a confusion state out of chaos saying would create order for is again the lower slow business however what what is more important is to watch to see who is who is there that normally wouldn't be we have to remember that the four people that will pass this legislation at the uh... senate level are going to be people who are rabid anti-gun and they'll just seem to linger around on a day when they shouldn't and normally wouldn't be there on her time for this i'll let you guys decide the uh... color of the uh... new uh... toilet paper dispensers for the ladies from another problem the bar at the park hall instead they're going to hang around and they just don't seem to be talking about the subject but they're catering a lot of their eyeballing all of the competition watching the feet to make sure everybody leaves the room the shyster bangs the gavel opens the session uh... for a whole whopping two or three minutes as they railroad how they develop a skin and remember there are key people to watch you can even do this in c-span to a degree guys because remember you've got c-span on the senate keep an eye on the no idea what's being fed through the senate also there's another problem we really don't have an eye that is truly and on the senate non-stop they like that shift out other activities especially when they know that the one i think the one activity is uh... something they don't want the population to see until after the fact and then we'll never see the actual video of the action that's just not going to be allowed through a warning order there things have not slowed down with regard to the attack on firearms they've just tried to be very quiet everybody's been told that though other things happening out there always try to offer solutions there's a nice little package and if you remember we've uh... offerings with regard to magazine uh... pouches things like that that are available hopes and other companies uh... ninety nine cents apiece if you buy one or if you buy a whole bunch of more you buy cheaper there how about an AK to go with the AK mag pouches? It's one of those, shall we say, utility rifles in the toolbox that for the price people just couldn't pass it up. Now, the $200 or $179 AKs are gone. Well, yes and no. Most people when they were buying those AKs for $179, does everybody remember that that was back in the, like, 90s? You know, and, or, well, actually early 90s through to the 90s. And, The currency has been devalued, people. Everything has doubled. Cheap handguns that were $79.95 or $100 apiece are now $219 apiece. Weapons such as the DK that were about $200 apiece are now about $400 to $450 to $500 apiece. do the math on the money devaluation over the last, oh that's right, middle 90s is 15 years ago now. This is the year 2010. And just like when grandpa used to talk about the nickel cokes, or my dad used to talk about the nickel baby roots that were three times the size of the candy bar you get in the store now, truly. In fact, the big candy bars you see on the shelf are what you used to get for a nickel. Think about that. Well, you're now experiencing it, but with other physical items that it really, it becomes very, you're part of the import process. overseas. Even dollar stores are not dollar stores anymore. I mean most cases they're becoming you know dollar 25 stores, dollar 45 stores. But what were they 40 years ago? Do you remember what they were? They were the five and dimes. Now the five and dimes were hanging on its five and dimes back then 30 and 40 years ago. 50 and 60 years ago five and dime stores were the dollar stores and typically when you went to the five and dime there was a lot of stuff imported from all this from china there was stuff from taiwan there was stuff from bengledesh there was stuff from africa there was stuff from south america you name it there was stuff from all over the planet and uh... well in the dollar store category with rifles the a k quality and for its reliability has become but i come with uh... if you want to reasonably uh... price right for what's going to work well that your choice the other advantages as you know and we've guided everybody towards and we've cleaned out whole category thank you for the given us here with the Intel report in the past because you can pretty well validate step by step as we've cleared up and he's not telling you do that today but some people are still looking for an American a care looking for a nice a k-47 to pick up and classic arms does have a bowl of weapons from right now they've got a package with the a k doc I'm not excited personally I prefer the fix some people want the folding stock not going to change your direction on that. I understand. And if you have one, don't throw anything like that. Just remember that you have a backup in place because the tendency to get sloppy. Just the way they work, guys. It's something you can't help. If you're going to carry the weapon, and you're going to use it, then you're going to experience some problems down the road with the folding. It's nice to have another backup stock in place ready to replace the thing. Now that's not that expensive, and there's a number of different directions you can go with regard to the type of standard stock you want to put on the weapon. on hand. You will find down the road that the folding stock isn't exactly yours for your mission. Some people, yes. Mechanized forces, yes. Drivers, want to keep something out of the way, yes. Their weapon is primarily a defensive weapon where they're just trying to put around range to get the heck out of the way of whatever is trying to steamroll. They're trying to contribute to the fight while other troops are, they're normally doing the job. They've been tied up and they need a little extra help. So the folders do have an application, or in many cases you'll see even as you scroll down on classicarms.us you'll scroll down and find that they even have AK pistols. And it's like, oh okay, well, there are American answer to the Krenkov, which is again an army variant that originally showed up with a BMP, that's in one form or another because it was designed as a vehicle, designed to go into a particular ground inside the vehicle, allows the fighting station to contribute to the battlefield while on the armored vehicle. The rifle we're talking about here is a short-barreled weapon and full-size AK using standard AK-47 magazines. But it comes with all the other goodies. Comes with an AK magpouts, clean, comes the oiler, comes the cleaning kit, comes the bandage, two magazines by the looks of it, and the rifle itself which has a folding stock. So you actually start a bad little package, prices $450. I'm eliminating the nickel factor because it's $449.95. Yeah, okay. Well throw that nickel in there right off the bat because one way or another you know it's going to get spent so $450 for the rifle and it's not a bad package by the looks of it This thing is typical Romanian spare parts gun. It's on it. It's a mix mishmish as we say and Typical of the rifles that you're going to be running into that are in the AK family right now another thing $100 less Traditionally the SKS's were almost 2 to 1 or 3 to 1 against an AK. At the low end they were remember $70. And then the AK's were about $179. You know, read that $180. SKS's you bought an AK. And even though there are SKS, people aren't selling them either. Most of the countries or nations that are using them don't want to get rid of them. There's a reason for this. A nice rifle because it's a fixed magazine. so he doesn't really spray and pray. Hopefully he'll aim a little more. Here's the whole idea behind the carbine to begin with. Which, by the way, everybody's reading as a rifle now. I like how the, I think it's cute how progressively, okay, the S-CAS rifle has worked into the, visits the S-CAS cardinal fly with the Russian and with the Chinese inventory. It is not an MBR, not a main battle rifle. Carbine slash carbine, okay. Well anyway, there are some Yugoslavian SKS, this is with this bigger grenade launcher, bad everything's there, ready to rock and roll. You're looking at about $330 per rifle. Do at least have one or two little options. You got a sling, whoo-hoo! You got the barrel jag, drive down through the barrel, pull back, clean the gun, right. And you got a double SKS. Now that wouldn't be a cheap affair right now. I mean to actually build. So the leather double mag pouch is kind of interesting. I do not know what kind of loop it has in the back. That's just a gimme thing. That's like a, hey, by the way, we got these that came with the rifle. Congratulations, you get one. Probably they got more than one with a weapon, but... And then they're gonna sell out the difference at the store. There is ammunition in the SKS stripper clips available right now. Now before we go to the father, I guess I better finish this up. The Yugo SKS plastic arms. The quantity of the standard that came in. We have one rifle. Actually, they have some that are a little less than excellent condition They're good to very good condition. No accessories. Just a good solid rifle ready to fire $300. Oh if you want to save how much again? Oh, yeah, if you want to save about $30 and not worry about the sling or the Right, you know, I guess well, you know what? I think I'd go to the 30 I'd go the used one for good to very good condition. That would work just fine $300. There you go. Don't worry about the rest. You can patch it whether you know other options for three hundred dollars for the uh... regular good to have just fine should be sure there was some more about they also have one or two other s k s is lifted in their inventory seem i want to check that out see what they have available you're gonna have to go through and surgery may have to give them alcohol and again uh... no they don't want to the program or anything but if we see something useful bring it up to your attention because you know obviously people who need to be armed better and equipped better a lot of your looking for certain things just can't find it 39 that we mentioned 39 and there is some ammunition available through a surplus 10 10-round stripper clips go check out a surplus dot com when it comes up right off if you want to get hold of classic arms gee Mari Slatmark and a head here might help you out a little bit if you can give them a call 70468 classic arms LC PO box 125 Indian Trail North Carolina 28 079 and of course they've got a little cute little logo there which is a centurion with an ak-47 roman with an ak-47 what a combination that would have been anyway uh... also be fun to look at the page of pro christian and they don't make any bones about it's right there for every page and they'll let you know about it too look cool there again one more time if you want to give them a call on those sk there are many other weapons www dot classic arms dot u.s w w dot clap arms dot u.s seven zero four Most everything else guys Hand guns something again. Oh, wait a minute. Don't tell me Robert De Niro was born today. No, you born yesterday Hmm interest born in 1943 17th of August 1943 away. Well, he's about the age of my middle brother kind of like my middle brother, too anyway One thing that's noticeable and this I will reinforce again is inexpensive handguns one of the things that I was watching for if we could find any of the better aftermarket J-light revolvers. For you ladies out there, the J-frame also fits the average lady's hand or weapon. Some of you have bigger hands than others, but the average girl has tinier hands in general. Five, they can handle a six, but the J-frames are comfortable and reliable, easy, and then a good knockdown is 38 plus P-load or a standard 38. It's really devastating. That's a target load, yeah. A semi-wadcutter in a standard 38 does some really monster damage and all the energy is delivered against the target. And so for a people stopper, especially from people who want to rape, kill, pillage, and burn, it can be at a very effective tool in the right place at the right time, and you're willing to carry it. Now, the reason I was looking for revolvers, and the only company, and this is interesting, I mean, I have gone all over the place. and some say that they have stock and then when you get to the actual company they don't have anything. I wanted to bring up basically what we call a safe for a lot of you combat troops. Now one thing about handguns is you can put a handgun on a rig and nobody needs to know that it's there. uh... wall i need our combat holster you made before you will you have more for sixteen or uh... beyond key you know six twelve jackass you know rigor whatever a bla bla bla bla bla well no actually one of the best ways to carry your personal defense handgun if you want something that you know we'll smaller than the average bear is to put it inside of a pouch guys uh... and with molly gear this was interesting is molly gear offers some interesting options with the five of the mag pouches So let's say that you have, for instance, that J frame in a, well, we'll go a three inch barrel, because you see that's basically a snake charmer. A lot of guys, or then gals, have carried a J frame size, or the biggest it goes a K frame with maybe a two inch or a three inch barrel. Three to four is the optimal, the K. And average is a four, as we know, because a four inch is standard. But anyway, a three inch barrel, basically the one called a camp pistol, easy to use, quick to bring to the field, little more barrels, you get a little more energy, it's not so much of a flamethrower as it is a bullet spitter, and it's not too large, so it can fit into a lot of locations in mag pouches that are conditioned for the pistol. And what I mean by conditioned? Well, you see in the past I would use like an M14 mag pouch, or again later on, they made a few extra-wide m sixteen mag pouches which were really cool that were after they were kind of like an aftermarket but a well-made aftermarket pouch that we carry four and sixteen mags well the neat thing about that is it's got that nice little squeeze release clip on the front which is very convenient and on the inside you take whatever holster or rig you can find that you want to cannibalize and you stitch that into the mag pouch in the normal station where it would be if you were, for instance, carrying a holster. So you twist it around, lock it into the back panel of the mag pouch. Now, the front panel of the mag pouch, or the front part, you stitch in a couple of speed loader loops. In fact, you can do either that or divider. Just make sure that it's, again, accessible. Your fingers can reach down in far enough to get to the other speed loaders, and you can stack through. four five sometimes even six people orders uh... inside the bank which was really cool now the loops were a better choice but basically what we would do is either him with a uh... to winch a snobby and uh... mount that inside the magazine pouch stitch in the holster you know stirrup no like little saddle inside the little hole in little uh... contact point where would keep the weapon from flopping around but still make it accessible from the top yet to leave it open top don't worry the flap on the magazine project to protect everything inside just like it would have had bags but the front if you stick to the loops the speed lowers were set up so if the uh... could i be uh... the release knob is of course also what you control the speed loader with typically was going to be sitting up so you simply like with the HSK speed loaders grab the the control knob first pull the weapon pop pop pop a magazine opus is forgive me cylinder open dump your empties pull out the next speed loader which of course is upright and inside the mag pouch insert the rounds twist the HSK release pull forward pocket the speed loader close cylinder simultaneously with your fingers bring your hand back up to control weapon and pop shot or pop one more perfect now the neat thing is we've always been molly pouches all got the skic I just got a limit just matter of what weapon do you have now there's another thing to remember is that we just as easily with that larger m16 mag pouch or with a smaller m16 mag post depending what you have you could use automatic and uh... you know in a pocket like that uh... there were little couple little uh... automatic kind of nice the uh... empty backup in three eighty auto with about three for mags in mag pockets so on inside the mag pouch and then of course the man the uh... uh... holster stationed up and to the top of the mag pouch you know inside so that didn't put the weapon down in and uh... convenient with little finger gouge the whole nine yards so that when you will reach them there you're able to and you had your finger pretty much on station ready to pop because if you go to the hand gun you're in desperation anyway you're in trouble something happened your primary weapon either you're out of ammo or out malfunction took place so you need to be able to access the weapon but the other advantage of this is that your handgun was nondescript and that's a big advantage because people under s when they don't that can be an advantage a great advantage especially when it's assumed that you are unarmed instance or that you may not have all these characters aren't carrying any weapons ha ha ha reality or at least your weapon might be slingarm when the handgun is fully accessible and any number of different quickens could be attached to the pop you know it's purely a matter of choice traditional m16 but guys used velcro used any number of different combos snap types them so they'd be a little more secure it was a natural motion just like using a regular holster this technique works quite well but remember with molly pouches you have bigger pouches more You can put rigid walls on the side to hold the molly pouch open. You can stitch, you're going to stitch the holster inside. And by the way, if it's a military surplus holster like a Macarof, dozens of different cheap that can be cannibalized. You don't even have to make a new holster rig for it. All you're going to do is cannibalize the existing sitter out there for a couple dollars or six dollars or eight dollars apiece. Engineer them accordingly. Stitch them to the back end of the molly wall pouch. of the molly pouch. Now you have a station for the pistol. And if you're carrying extra mags, well common sense, you want to use loops so that you can separate the mags a little bit so they're a little easier to pull from the loop and to access the grip with your fingers when the time comes. Truly a matter of innovation and design. You have to come up with the idea of giving the basic, but it's a very convenient way to conceal one, two, or three handguns. Now, you can go smaller, and I know guys that have carried Beretta jet fires, special forces troops, a lot of guys, in fact, let me give you an example, First of all, forces over on the Cambodian border, any given time they had 15,000 to 20,000 firearms in their arsenal that were unaccounted for because they issued weapons out constantly to the Montagnard, to the other villages, to the force popular forces, etc., etc. and uh... every once in a while somebody drop off a shipment of arms and you know one of the uh... armory's a government come by to one of the uh... teams that was sitting there in the uh... main yarder get ready to you know step out hey guys want to try one of these and it could be anything you imagine one day they came by and they had a whole case full of baby brownings not a cheap little pistol but a very small twenty five automatic and despite what everybody says bottom is like sure I'll take a couple sure I'll take one sure yeah give me some yeah thank you no accountability nobody you know tracking where they came from or where they went they were just you know about everybody got one why because they were free and of course pop it somewhere in a pocket with extra mags and you know pick up more mags progressively and you had a little dog barker You stick six rounds into somebody's face at a point where you need a few extra rounds to get out of trouble or at least make some noise. You know, if you're barking like a dog with a 25, you're not doing a whole lot of damage necessarily, but you know what? It does make noise and there's lots of flash. There's no doubt you got a weapon. So if your other primary weapon is malfunctioning and the other handgun is no longer in action, this is still yet another backup. It might get you that last rifle you need off the body of the character you just created. You know, pop, pop, drop dead. And then you take what he had. At the very least you've heard him badly enough that you can now take what you want with a little more fight. You know, a little more energy expended but a lot less than you probably would have to otherwise. So that was one of the little tricks. You can take little 25s and stick them in a, you know, like a N1 carbine mag pouch, etc., etc. There were a number of different techniques. But in this case, the molly rigs allow you to pick and choose. Now, Macros are one I mentioned. They used to be the 6995 pistol guys, remember that? Macros used to be $69, $79, $80 a piece, $89 a piece, whatever, you know, eliminate the dollar factor or the nickel factor. And very rare magazines were 50 cents a piece. They aren't anymore. 50 cents a piece. The more you bought, the cheaper they were. In fact, they were down almost, well they were down to 45 cents a piece if you bought 500 plus at a time. Think about that. 45 cents for a military magazine, eight shot, in a 90 millimeter macro, and how many thousands do you want? Now, if you've invested that money back in the day when we told you to, all you have to do is spend, oh, sell a handful of those mags and the rest are all freebies. take a look at the price of a macaroon mag right now on the market and you tell me gee for a few dollars spent initially for retirement package every so often you want to go to McDonald's take family out grab three magazines sell them and uh... go have some fun well you got only have four hundred and ninety six mags to go out of your five hundred fun with all that money or anyway of the point is that you're gonna find military systems usually there's server mags spare to make this project work so be creative if you have a pistol maybe that grandpa me grandpa guy gave you a box full of guns uh... not just rifles but handguns and you may have a whole bunch of neat stuff that he collected well you know take a look at some of the options there and consider those weapons for each of the family members and if there's a fixtures left over and what what what they're doing a mag pouch uh... combo package One of the nice things about this is you can unhook it from your rig and put it on somebody else's anytime you need to or reconfigure a rig so you could continue to carry that. But shaving down weight and still worry about undoing this mag pouch, undoing that fixture, trying to figure out where to put the whole picture. No, it's a whole mag packing all ready to go. There are some examples of this that we're probably going to be photographing and because it can, plus items are out. Not necessarily in leather, and I'll tell you there's some nice Corduro holsters out there that are one of the standard weapons. Another example of this is something I mentioned the other day, Monday, about, for instance, like with the U of M. They've got boxes full of P226 rigid police holsters. Now, I don't necessarily need the rigid police holster for anything that I'm gonna do, but a package like this, the back plate, the screw points, and everything that I need to take that SIG holster and stick it inside something like this or for instance also the one place for these rigid holsters coming handy too for car mounts. If you want to do an under the dash mount, if you want to do an under the seat mount, if you want to, you know, there's any number of different options. You can actually have the holsters in place. You don't have to have the guns there, but you can have the holster in place. You can station the gun wherever you want to accordingly when the time comes. But the example is again, taking that rigid holster by for eight dollars six dollars whatever and use that as the premise for all slash mag pouch system we're talking about one of the advantages of that is that the way it's molded the only disadvantage is molded specific to the handgun you know in other words if you don't have a cq two twenty six this pretty do you a darn bit of good it is not universal it is weapons but the nice thing is it has a quick release and it's well secured when the weapon is inside that rigid rig inside the mag pouch Again, it offers a little more protection, conceals the weapon so that it's not obvious you have a handgun, and is quick and easy to transfer from the rig from one system to the next. Start looking at the idea. Think about what you could do, or how could I build this and make this work for me? Now, remember too about MOLLEGEAR, guys, is with MOLLEERIGS, you can station that mag pouch wherever you need to on your combat rig so that it will be convenient to use. In other words, you don't have to reach up in an odd place. You put it where it's going to be common sense that if I were to take my hand and disconnect this latch and pull the flap up, as I pull the flap up, I let it slide with my thumb, I push it away, my hand reaches in, reaches around and grips the weapon, and I start to extract the weapon from the holster, my thumb then engages and wraps around, as I bring it up and I align it and pop, and I align it, pop, wait a minute, there's one more little t-clay for all I need, he's still twitching, pop, pop, there we go i'll keep my hand got active while i died that but he was planning on killing me with to rifle maybe they can't could be a fake could be whatever and mine now that works the weapon to make sure i didn't shoot it and shoot him there we go now i can secure my handgun and i'm switching over to a rifle pop pop want to upgrade i do not want to use harsh language i would better be better off using pointy object If I can, rather than the sharp-pointy object, I should be using a handgun. Now, when I say sharp-pointy object, that includes per- If I have a handgun, I should be aiming towards picking up a rifle. Why? I want my enemy as far away from me as possible to drop and not get up. That doesn't mean I can't do well with a pistol. I know how to use a handgun. But, the idea is, I'm trying to switch up and range out because that rifle has greater penetration, a lot more energy than the handgun will. No matter what anybody says, you never know. Soft skin vehicles, trucks, things like that might pop up and my handgun won't do what an MBR or what any kind of battle rifle will that I could probably, I can dump more rounds into the target, I'll probably get better penetration, and I'm gonna hurt something inside the vehicle if I have to. Handgun, not quite as reliable for that. That's just one of many examples of why you want a rifle. I want to reach farther, I want to be more accurate. I want to save my handgun ammunition by using that rifle so that when I can show you how Billy bad but I can be with a handgun, it will only be when I need to. Not because I go, I'm gonna carry a handgun. They're 400 yards out. Can you hit it with that pistol? You're not contributing to the battlefield, at least not to the greatest range possible. That's what we're interested in doing. We're interested in reaching as far out as we possibly can with the weapons we have available. from blade to pistol to battle rifle if in anywhere in between you can expedite to rifle if the knife will get your rifle congratulations if the stick will get your rifle congratulations if the if harsh language stop or i'll show stop again will get your rifle it would be a miracle yeah there we go anyway it is six forty six all my goodness you've been listening to mark and i have been talking on and we get past the bottom of the are you probably have to get to work it is wednesday Did anybody notice this? Oh yeah. Oh, and while I've been talking, what a surprise. We got more rain outside. It's Michigan and it's summer. Yeah, but it's a wet summer. We have, it has been a wet, damp. We had the hay machines out in the north fields running all yesterday and this rain has slowed down the second cuttings that we were going to get here a couple of days. We got half of it. Now, we're going to have to set for a day or two with some sunshine and then we're going to start collecting again. Get that next cutting off of the uh, elf elf and also off of the clover we've got out back here so, in fact to the south now, the south fields are next. Anyway, 47 out there, supposed to wake you up, you're getting up and out of bed right now, no, you're not calling in sick. I don't think you got probably as bad of weather as we have here and people will be waking up right now and going, man, I'd like to call in, but I can't, I gotta save the sick days. Well hold on here, let's do this. You picture those poor Ethiopian coffee bean pickers sweating on the bag. at night, their body oils permeating the green coffee beans. Don't worry, they reuse the bag. Coffee beans long before you get there. After all, where do you think they sleep at night? Do you think they got someplace to go? And the coffee beans are warm for being brought in during the day in the sun of the nation of Ethiopia. Now they're not warm everywhere and not ever at night all the time. And at night in the desert, you get cold. So they're huddled up on your coffee beans. They've put all of your inspiration into your coffee. It was shipped all the way across the world perk this morning and oh. Ethiopian toenail clipping coffee blend. Oh, yeah, that's right. Don't forget. They got to do body maintenance somewhere. Might as well be in your coffee beans. Anyway, are you awake? You all awake yet? Oh my, oh, well, well, well, well, well, well, yours was sitting around for a day or two. Look, there's a special coffee stirrer in there. Yeah, it looks like a cigarette butt. Mm, nicotine and coffee at the same time, eh? Well, that's one way to wake up. Hold on. It's like, cool. And Ethiopian blend together. It is a beautiful morning there. If that didn't wake you up. Anyway, one more time. You get out of bed, you get to work, and while you're doing that, we'll continue the program. Let's see if we can find something cool. You never know. Maybe I can. Mark's working on it. But it has been a very, very busy week, by the way, on Wednesday. This isn't going to slow us down, guys. In fact, just reverse a little bit of rain here. We're going to wash a few things off, so it will be a lot easier for them to go together. We do have some rain activity this weekend. Camp Nega, Hitchum, the doctor, will be in. uh... that's been accurate fifty caliber kit uh... fifty caliber designs the uh... the a doctor himself of the boys are out west i understand their in wisconsin right now the special militia meeting there uh... in central wisconsin guys are working to put together as much as they can as quick as they can uh... with things looking the way they are so the new uh... he seven uh... a and uh... b model the b model having just a little longer peril understand they've changed up parts the design recommendation anyway. Some automatic breed. It's actually the base of the kit based upon the 50 caliber 106 spotting rifle only with a standard 50 caliber round instead of the 50 caliber spotter round and the AR15 chain feed that was used on the, well originally on the AR10 and then also built for the AR15. The tubular, tubular receiver feed using M250 caliber links. And this is really neat. They have a shoulder-fired model. It's using a large, comically common on the 50 calibers. They have used both the M250 caliber barrel, machine down, enlightened, but also ventilated. They've put a rib on it. And spiral. This is something interesting, too. They were experimenting with different machinery. As long as certain tooling is out there, why not take advantage of it? So rather than just a conventional circular cut of ventilation systems, long-storation cut has become the most popular. They're experimenting with a corkscrew design that is, it's not a deep cut, but it's designed to offer a simple tooling process for lightening up the barrel, still keeps the barrel from the state, for E7 is only configuration, and rightly so, you only carry so much ammo, guys. The doctor will be at Camp Maggie-Hitcham this weekend here in Michigan, and what's going to be really cool about that, we're going to be joined there, and we'll be participating together. I understand too that all ranges are open. There are no changes in that. All are open this weekend here in Michigan. Our friends, be they all down here at the bottom towards Monroe or over in County, over on the other side of the state or all the ends in between from Ogama all the way up to Mount Marancy County and beyond. Well, there's a lot of work going on right now and a lot of people pretty well got some nice weather. We have no forest fire in the upper part of Michigan. I'll repeat that. There's no forest or forest fire threat. It's a low level. So small arms fire, taking advantage of this every weekend, we can still do this. Sometimes certain ranges, fire brought down to minimum, and we're talking about small arms fire, because of fire complaint, you know, that again, the, like a tinderbox. Well, this year, that hasn't been the case because of all the moisture. So the cool thing is, as long as the ranges can be open, they will be. I don't see any change in that now. By the time we're finished, what's left of all of them are looking at the rain season forget that you've got to get done if you thought the summer was wet or another thing there to hearing eye protection make sure you take that we do this weekend and remember that each of the respective sites here has one or possibly two microfms stations to listen into on the way to the facility and they will be operational all weekend while the facilities are open starting typically Friday at 9 a.m. and closing down the ranges at approximately sunset of Sunday. That varies because some night fire takes place, training phases do not end at sunset, move beyond into the nighttime hours depending upon what part of the year it is. Now we're starting to lose the daylight sooner so needless to say it'll be a little earlier for night fire than was say one month ago. Act accordingly make sure you get your night vision with you too and ensure that you have your rain gear and at least one cold weather items such as the commando sweater or a field jacket liner You're gonna have spikes and temperature changes now. We anticipate the worst and that way we won't be disappointed Remember when you get wet well actually moisture pull and radiates calories out of your system guy. That's why we use water to cool. No way anyway, we are at the top just about we're in that direction uh... will remind you to guys the micro effect uh... joe has pointed out we need assistance here guys so i mean i hesitate that if you can get over there to the uh... uh... chip in page is the micro effect dot com you can also uh... call in eight eight Give them a call there. If you can donate right now, they've got the ability to take credit cards and whatever else is necessary. Anyway, I hear the music. Remember guys, always check your fix. Watch your backstop. You ever hear that term? What it means is when you're shooting at something or somebody, pay attention to what's beyond what you're shooting at. Most of the weapons you're carrying will shoot through that target. Whoever's behind it, they get to be number two. And if it's a friendly, that's not a happy situation. So focus and make sure you know what's beyond the target. Watch your backstop. Anyway, God bless the Republic. Death of the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run and we're on the march. We'll be back in about six minutes. We'll close here with some Johnny Cash. That's right, Ryder. Guy?
