Mark Koernke discussed a New Hampshire child protective services case involving two boys still in foster care after their sister was abused, despite both parents being cleared of wrongdoing. He provided contact information for state officials and judges to demand the children's return. The bulk of the episode focused on Quartermaster Friday preparedness topics, including home food production (canning, freezing, and drying berries and fruits), making fruit leathers, growing and storing root vegetables through winter, and making inexpensive soups from dried peas and potatoes. Callers and co-hosts discussed textile production skills including knitting, crocheting, spinning wool, and using vintage sewing machines for self-sufficiency. The conversation also covered CPS financial incentives for child removal, background check requirements for school employees, and the loss of American textile manufacturing.
Live 365. this, 15th of October, 2010, the second year of enemy occupation by the Socialist Scum and DC. Oh goodness! Well, for those of you that are just tuning in, we did have an update on baby Cheyenne, the family there. A quick overview there. Cheyenne was returned, as you know, last night. About 20 minutes before the end of the hour, we found that she had been returned to her mother and father. However, there is a state gag order on any feelings with the court and CPS. So the parents are forbidden to talk about it. However, Stephanie Taylor's two sons are still in the same foster care home that where Cheyenne was abused. Understand this. What we do understand is that Jonathan Irish, his father had domestic violence charges against him, I guess when Jonathan was like 11 years old. And they're saying that they They had the wrong person. They figured that this was John Irish, not Jonathan Irish. John Irish being Jonathan Irish's father. That's not a junior. So there is a bit of difference in the name. And I guarantee you, different number in the Social Security number, which they had to have in order to process the insurance information at the hospital. Also, it would be different information when it came to they didn't check obviously didn't check driver's license Didn't check addresses didn't check Social Security numbers for matchup so across the board CPS failed to double check their paperwork and make sure they had the right person before they filed any of this these charges against Jonathan in relation to any charges brought. So this is a failure across the board and the court did not make demand to see this before they put a warrant out to have this child taken away when they knew that they had a Jonathan Irish and a John Irish being that Jonathan was taken from his father at age 11. That was 13 years ago. That's still on file. I don't know the difference. I'm having a real hard time buying that folks. Real hard time. That this is just an oopsie in the paperwork. Not even. And for the child to be abused this way and for the two brothers to still be in the same foster care that the sister was abused in. An infant. This is wrong across the board. I am going to give out the New Hampshire Child Protective Services main office number. That number is 603-271-4326. Again, that's 603-271-4326. And the director of Child Protective Services for the state is 603-271. 1110. Again, that's 603-271-1110. Okay, and there is an 800 number, but only for the people of the state of New Hampshire. This is an emergency number, and as far as I'm concerned, this is an emergency as far as these boys are concerned, because they are at risk. If their sister was abused, in that foster home then they are at risk. Therefore it is not out of the realm here to say that this is an emergency. That number is 1-800-852-3345. Not only that ladies and gentlemen, Stephanie Taylor and Jonathan Irish have both been cleared of any wrongdoing. Therefore, those boys should go right back to mom. There's no reason for the state to be holding on to these boys at all. And that number again, 1-800-852-3345. District Special Judge Susan W. Ashley, a direct number to her office is 603-333-23515. Demand that she return those boys to their parents. It's absolutely, absolutely unconscionable that they would return these boys. would keep these boys in the home where his sister was abused. Just not right. We do have the fax number also of the Department of Child Welfare and that number is 603-271-4729 and that would be the Department of Child Welfare For the state, the fax number is 603-271-4729. Demand an investigation into both Merrimack and Stafford County CPS as to what, how did they mess up so badly that they didn't know the difference between father and son of the Irish's. Jonathan, which they had in their system, taken from John Irish 13 years ago. How did they mess this up so badly and allow this foster family to abuse little Cheyenne? And then to let the brothers be kept in the same house with the foster family that abused her to begin with. Just not acceptable. Not acceptable at all. Again, that district special judge Susan W. Ashley is 603-332-3515. I am going to open the lines up here this Friday. This is, of course, oh goodness, the 15th of October. We're halfway through the month, folks. That call in number is 218-844-8060 and the room code is 437-9296 and hit the pound sign again, that's 218-844-8060 and that the code number is 437-9296 and hit the pound sign when not the teleprompter prompts you to do so. Goodness. This is Friday, which typically we talk about supplies folks making sure you have enough of everything. Quartermaster Friday. And we were talking about food, food production. For most, a lot of people think about this time of year is winding down in the canning, home canning, home production. It doesn't need to be. It does not need to be. You can ask Ed all through the winter. I will continue canning actually for some of the stuff that gets really, really, really hot. I will take berries and stick them in the freezer. Wash them good, stick them in the freezer. And then on these cold winter nights when I come home from work, take the berries out of the freezer and turn them into jams and jellies or pies. It's something that I will do all winter when it's uncomfortable in the summer to get in there where I don't have an air-conditioned kitchen. And the cross-breeze is almost non-existent there. It gets really hot and bothersome. So, you know, take care of processing my fruit and freezing it quickly. and then canning it later, which is something you can do, especially if you have a large production of berries, fruits and berries, which we have seen with huckleberries in the past, where we'll pick six, seven, eight gallons of huckleberries at a time. And it takes maybe four cups. to make a batch of jelly. It would take a long time to go through, it would take a good 8-10 hours to go through all the berries if I were to continually make jam from them. So, rather than do that, I would take a gallon bag, rinse them off, stick them directly in the freezer. There's nothing more that has to be done with them. You can do the same thing with strawberries, blueberries, any of the berries. The other things that we like to do with berries is we like to dry them. Stick them in that food dehydrator and I don't have any special. I don't have one of those three to $800 food dryers. It's not something that I do. I can't bring myself to spend that much money on a 14 square foot drawing surface that will sit on the counter and take up space. So I opted for a Betty Crocker 5 5-trade dryer. That's 30 bucks. And you'll be able to find those quite a bit. You can still find the Jerky Maker, which is basically the same design type of dryer. So you can make your jerky, you can make fruit leathers, that's something else that you can do with your pumpkin too. Cook it, puree it with your sugar and spice. Spread it thin on either saran wrap or many, many dryers will come with a plastic tray to spread a thin layer of puree on to make your own fruit leather. Much like the fruit roll-ups that you would purchase at the store for kids for lunches make your own You can use applesauce pureed berries Any fruit that you like? and you can spice it or sweeten it to taste. And you can go all natural. You can use prune juice or pear juice to sweeten things. Or if you want to make a vegetable leather to sweeten that, you might want to put a carrot in. That is something that you can do as well. And again, this makes really good survival food to pop in, to dry, roll it up. cut into strips and put in your backpack just to take out and munch on. It changes your diet up folks and again as we've said before this does not decrease the nutritional value of the food that you're eating. When you dry it, it's being dried at such a low temperature all the nutrients are there. They're not being boiled away. One of the things you can do too is if you want to pop it in the microwave real quick just to soften something up, to mush it up, to put it, to make a paste out of it for fruit or vegetable leathers. This is something you could do very easily, very quickly and generally doesn't pop it in there before you go to bed at night, get up in the morning and it's ready to go. I believe we have a caller. Hello. Do we have a caller? No, you have a patient listener. Hello, Michael. Hello, Michael. We're just talking a little bit about Quartermaster Friday and some of the things that you can do at home in home production. I'm just getting in. I'll sit back and listen. Thank you, Mike. Oh, goodness. But that's one of the things that you can do. Other home production things that you can do if you have not gotten into Sewing I would I would urge you knitting sewing crocheting. These are skills you're going to need to get by Okay And the thing is with knitting and crocheting those old sweaters might get a little whole or frayed around the edges you can actually pull those apart unravel them and Use them again that that may sound cheap, but you know what? When push comes to shove, to be able to reuse what you have, recycle, as the term is commonly used, recycle what you have. It has been mentioned you can take the sleeves off of old sweaters. They may have the elbow out, cut them off at the elbow. Finish the edge, sew it inside your coat sleeve to keep cold air from coming up your sleeves. that or make wrist warmers out of them by taking, by making a couple of stitches through part of the ribbing on the end so that it covers the back of the hand and up the side of the thumb, but still helps to keep the hand warm the wrist, especially those that are getting older and have a little problem with arthritis in the wrist and movements. Or simply starting to lose the circulation in their hands to keep the main part of it warm will actually help to keep the fingers warm as well and doing things like doing the knitting and crocheting. Being able to use the fingers but still keeping the main part of the hand warm so that that circulation issue is less of a problem. too, if it's if it's if they really have a bad circulation problem, then that can be worn over top of regular gloves outside again to help keep The heat in when you have that circulation for those that have a circulation problem Works much like the old leg warmers that we saw back in the 70s. Oh my goodness But is helpful in keeping those joints moving and warm and just generally overall. There are many things that we can do, many ways to recycle what we have. A lot of people will toss out old shirts as rags. Don't throw them away. If you use them as a rag and what you can do with them is cut them up. Crow into oh half inch to one inch strips using a large crochet hook and you've got yourself a mat For the back door for people to wipe their feet on that's absorbent to catch up any water That can be used that way same with the grocery bags the plastic grocery bags are can be very durable, cut into strips. This is something I was going to do the other day. We've got some colorful bags that are coming out right now for Halloween. They're all orange. I was going to cut those up into strips. Mark gave those to a local recycling area type store. Habitat for Humanity folks is where he gave them to. So I don't have those right now, but I'm sure I'll collect up more. before the end of the month and try to get a rug out of that for people to wipe their feet on and have that to show here on the UStream so that you can see. It can be done, it can be simple and Colorful and not look bad, you know once you're done with your project that can be done with bread bags as well Making making just a simple doormat made out of out of scrap plastic That would normally go into the landfill can be cut into strips Crocheted together or even braided together knotted and braided together in order to make a a doormat very cheaply, well cheaply, it's something you would normally toss out folks, let's be honest and Given a varied colors that you can put together from from bread sacks of the different varieties that are out there They can be attractive as well and when you're done with it gee you're gonna put it in the landfill anyway guess what? There we go you have then something that you were able to reuse and reuse and When you're done You didn't put any extra money out into that you paid for that when you put picked up the product You know cost maybe a half a cent for the the company to provide that To put to the product in but this is something that that can be done very quickly The other thing is for those of you that have gardens out there, you don't have to bring those carrots in right now. Cover them with a good at least 8 to 12 inches of straw and you can be out there picking your carrots in the middle of winter. cover it with straw, maybe even cover that with with black plastic to keep even more heat in there and Just go and pull your carrots out as you want any of your root vegetables pretty much will do that your turnips, brutabagas and carrots potato I would pull because those typically you've got they're bigger and you don't have the tops to pull from They're generally by now. They're the frost just hit them and the tops have The plant has fallen off off from away from the roots So dig those up get them in make sure you dry them off Let them dry a little bit before you bring them in and get them in a root cellar I know what they're with our root cellar here. I can I can take 50 to 100 pounds of potatoes in, we'll use them, and they will stay good in the root cellar right through February. So that is something that you can do. It's a good investment. I know if I make a little trip north, say up around the Midland area, Potosky area here in Michigan. There's a lot of potato farms up there, a lot of vegetable farms. I can go up there and get potatoes and carrots and onions, 50 pound bags for about 10 bucks or less. There have been years where we've gotten 50 pounds for $5. and put them away. So $10, that's 100 pounds of potatoes. It'll last us through, right up in through February for a family of six when we had everybody home. It's a cheap way to eat. You can always make potato soup. If you want, put the onions and potatoes, a little bit of celery, and some meat in there for flavoring, be it kielbasa or ham. makes for a quick, easy meal. Very, very inexpensive way to feed a family when times are rough, and right now they're rough. They're rough across the board for most people. There are a few out there that are still raking in the box or beginning to get some federal funds to start up new businesses, but beyond that, most people are still hurting in this economy. So these are these are things that you can do. We had talked about going to the feed mills. Peas, if you can get English peas that are dried whole ones work just as well as split peas for doing split pea and ham soup. All you got to do is break them up once they start to cook and let those let them soak overnight and boil them up. with your ham, your carrots, oh goodness, carrots, onions, and a little, a bay leaf, salt and pepper folks. Very simple, easy meals that you can do very quickly and a little bit goes a long way. I believe we have a caller. Hello caller. Do we have another caller? This is Georgia, Texas. I was calling back. I put it on mute. Ah! How are you? I'm doing okay. I just want to know if there are two kids that are still in custody with CPS. Do you think it's possible we all can file a writ of habeas corpus and send them to the clerk of court? That is something the parents would have to do. What's that? That's something the parents would have to do, I believe, get the habeas corpus to get the children before the judge. But the children haven't been charged. They are simply, they've been taken into custody away from the parents, even though the parents have been cleared. This is why we need to get a hold of the judge and have them demand that this judge return them to the family immediately. Let me give you her number. Judge Susan W. Ashley, that number is 603-332-3515. And that's to demand that Cheyenne's brothers that are still in the foster care where she was abused be returned to her parents who have been cleared of any, any wrongdoing. Okay? Go ahead. down in Clearwater, Florida, Pinellas County. She was arrested for following false affidavits. And his case was one of them, and they didn't clear him and give him his gift back. Oh my. See, they'll probably have seen in the past that they'll hang onto these kids as long as they can. The thing is, we need, as the public, to make pressure. upon the judge. The judge can rule they can go back to their family and demand that that, you know, and make that ruling that they go back. And the pressure needs to be kept on this judge, the district special judge, Susan W. Ashley. And we have got to keep the pressure on her to return these boys to their mother. She's done nothing wrong. Those boys should not be in the foster home where their sister was abused. They've got, they, there is an investigation going on on the foster care parents there. They did take them in for questioning and then released them. However, there is still an investigation going on. Therefore, with those people being under investigation, why are these boys still there? They need to go back to their parents who have been cleared of any wrongdoing. Any. So, no, we don't need to be doing this. They don't need to be, you know, putting these boys at risk. And that's what I see happening here. Those boys, every hour that they're there, they're at risk. to go back to the constitutional form of government, there will have to be trials, there will have to be arrests. And a lot of these people will have to be put on trial because the first thing, because the priority is you don't mess with children. And I learned too in the prison system, a lot of the prisoners are foster, former foster children and They've gone to a life of crime and that's one of the reasons why they killed child molesters in jail because they've been abused in these homes. This is a sad thing that we're seeing in America today is that the pedophiles are going to where the children are. They're becoming the foster parents. They're becoming the teachers in our public schools. And even in some of the private schools, so that needs, we need to address that issue. It's something that we really, I'm sorry, but when you go into foster care, maybe more mainstream families need to get involved there. You have your own children, I understand that. small children, especially those that really can't defend themselves, be it physical or mental capabilities, they really need a good, stable home. And when you leave it to these other people that are not right in the head, I'm sorry, there's no other really way to put it, that are drawn to children to use and abuse this way. We're leaving the door open for them. don't have a scrutinizing background check. In the state of Michigan, in the state of Michigan there is. If you want to be a janitor in the state of Michigan schools, you have to go through a background check. You can have no felonies whatsoever in your background, period. If you don't disclose a criminal record, you don't get hired. And that, you know, even unto, with the exception of traffic violations. And, I'm sorry, that is included, of course, if you are going in to be a bus driver. They, you know, that's definitely a need to know thing. But here in the state of Michigan, oh yeah. You most definitely get a background check done on you before you can be hired by the intermediate school district to do any any kind of job in the public school system whatsoever. Yes. Hello Dave. Dave, you need to speak up. You gotta speak up or change your headset again. Okay, I brought how they're, is this better? Yep. The hapius, you're right. A habeas could be filed on behalf of these two children because a habeas is usually filed in the purpose of show cause. By what cause are the children being held? So therefore, yes, a rutahabeas can be filed, but it's knowing how to do it and proper filing. It has to be done by next of kin to bring those children before a judge. The problem is, do the parents have sense enough or intelligence enough to do a writ of habeas? Do they know how? And if they depend on an attorney, an attorney won't do it. Well, you know what I found here when I filed the writ for Mark? That the judge did not know how to file a writ. The attorney that was hired didn't know how to file a writ and if you if you look at the form it's very self-explanatory The judge actually before she would sign it had me take it over to the district Attorney's office and make sure that it was filed correctly before she would sign on oh Yeah, so I'm serious. They have not they haven't been taught how to do it Absolutely run you ragged on a habeas very seldom does the habeas ever get heard or Get the first base usually they're thrown out by the clerk or on some technicality Hmm that was interesting Thing that he was speaking of here what you brought up of interest Nancy was these children being held in case you would like to know Child Protective Services pays $12.87 upwards to $38.08 per child depending on the age and the child's circumstances under which the child is placed into foster care. So there's a considerable amount of money that can be made here holding two kids. That means at least 25 bucks a day. They got money for... For that upwards of over $65 a day that can be made for holding these kids. That's only what the foster parents make of the kids, not what the Department of Children's Services make. They even make a bigger hunk of change. Which is the parents will be charged for. this time. Oh no, Michigan that is par for the course. You want your children back? Well gee, now that you've won, now you get to pay, you have to first before you can get them back, pay for the time that the state had them. Oh yeah, yeah. Are you familiar with Mike Gibson from our investigator for CPS? I've heard of the name, yes. Well, Mike has now published a list which I have. I'm going to be putting that to the internet tonight. And I may post this also on my website. Mike has posted an instruction sheet on what parents need to do when approached by CPS or if one of these silly investigators come to your home, what to say, what not to say. First of all, folks, never let them in your home. Never. Unless they got a warrant, they don't come in because their whole purpose, they are felony criminal investigators. And their purpose to step inside of your home is to collect any kind of evidence they can to be used against you for the grounds of seizing your children. If they see a gun laying anywhere in the home, you're going to jail. Right there, right there. Because they got all sorts of laws about leaving guns in close proximity or the reach of children in a whole bunch of states now or if they see drug paraphernalia or if the house is an absolute mess anything that they can use against you remember Miranda everything you say can and will be used against you anything these CPS investigators see They will use against you because they're getting paid to snatch the kids. It's profitable. They don't just pay the salary. They get a percentage of the take for every kid they snatch. Now, I'm not sure where I was. Well, this used to be here in the state of Michigan every time they start a new case. Every time. They generate for the new case $20,000 goes from the state to child protective services for that child. So when they move, you know, you hear about children being moved frequently, every time they move the child, they open that as a new case. So every time that child is yeah, so it makes it makes CPS more money and again like you said that dead then that caseworker, you know every time that that child is moved as then Gets a percentage of that twenty thousand dollars. Oh, yeah, state of Florida a judge gets a dollar twenty-five to five dollars and twenty-five cents depending on the case per child per week for every kid he puts in child protective service custody. Other states vary but Florida is the, as Mike Gibbons says in an article, Florida is the model state. They were the first to put up CPS and all the other states have copied the model. The model is everybody's scum bucket out there and they're living off of your misery. the more miserable they can make you, the more money they make. And that's a pretty sick way of doing it. But I'm going to post that tonight to Facebook. I'm probably going to put it to my website. My website is up as of last night, Nancy. It's SirDavidAndrew.com. Thank you David. SirDavidAndrew.com. Oh, thank you very much, David. Appreciate that. There are several articles on law posted there. We'll try to see how much more we can get up. Dave, I got a question for you. Dave? Yes, sir. Yeah, in the state of Georgia, I heard Dave repeal the 14th and 15th Amendment in that state. There has been talks of those types of things, but I have no idea whether there's been any action on that. I don't know. Also, too, there's even a new bill in the Georgia Senate. It's Bill 875. You go to the search engine, you type in Georgia House Bill 875. It talks about restoring the right to travel without having a license. That would be cool. There's ways in which that can be done, but it's right now being challenged in the state of Tennessee. It's been challenged quite successfully. I helped work on the project. that is working in Tennessee. Over 200 people right now do not have a state license in the state of Tennessee and have not since the first of this year. And so far, nobody has been arrested for driving without a license. We're seeing where this project goes. By the end of the year, we'll know how much farther the project's going to be able to be moved. Nancy, there was something else too. You've talked about the stripping out of wool. Two weeks ago, I was at Oktoberfest here locally. A couple of ladies brought in their spinning wheels. One had a really nice fancy wheel, and the other one had just a very simple, small spinning wheel, something that was really cheap, but was still very effective. And that is something that people ought to consider, is actually investing in a spinning wheel to be able to make your own thread or yarn. They were giving the demonstrations, trying to teach people how the yarn is spoiled. And they made it, both of them made it look real easy. They're just combing and pulling the wool and spinning it. And they also gave a class instructing on how to strip out old sweaters or any cloth material. And one of them actually has a loom as well. I personally own a loom. So I can make the cloth here if necessary, but I still do not have a spinning wheel. And that's very important. because now that all the textile mills have been closed down in America and cloth is being imported from out of the country, folks, if we go to war, they shut down the borders and nothing's coming in, where are you going to get cloth? You've got to remember folks, there are things growing in your area that can be used for spinning, not just wool. Okay, wool is generally in the farming communities as readily available from the sheep. The more expensive stuff, the llamas. You have rabbits, alpacas, a rabbit, the rabbit fur, better known as, oh gosh, I just drew a blank. That's what the one lady was doing, Nancy, she was spitting rabbit fur. Oh, so soft, oh my gosh. And she raises her own rabbits, who was making cloth from rabbit fur. And I thought that was very unique, because I hadn't seen it done before. But very few people that were at Oktoberfest even paid attention to these women. The majority of the people there, really I don't think cared what they were trying to show and teach. Which is silly. Here in Dexter, there is a spinning club. The ladies get together. a couple times a month and they spin their wool. A lot of them have their own sheep and shear the sheep for the wool and use that, spin their own yarn, sell it, and use it for making clothing for their family. and they've been doing this for, oh gosh, 15, 20 years now that I know that I've been aware of this spinning club. So look in your area. If you look in crafts, also look in your newspaper for different clubs and meetings, check with your churches, and you will be amazed at what you can find. Because there are folks out there doing this, folks. If you want to understand how to do it, Get you know start off simply there there are spindles that you can actually take run it through the spindle and basically you drop the spindle and twist the yarn and you the The wool or the other fiber and you get your yarn There are things as simple as that that work And, you know, basically handheld about the size, oh goodness, of this mouse here. As far as the spindle goes for making yarn. It's that simple. There are many different ways of doing this. It's a shame because this country, goodness, the making of nylon, polyester, this is a country where that was founded. Folks, those materials were chemically made, are fire retardant, rayon, nylon, polyesters. You know, they're very tough, very strong, very durable material that we no longer have in our country to make cloth with. And let me tell you, that's a loss. Rayon is probably the least durable of those being that they, it disintegrates during the washing process. Not as good as nylon or polyester. polyester being tough enough if it's spun with cotton will actually cut through the cotton. So very durable things but again the process of doing it high temperatures, chemical process for the nylon. The polyester is basically a high spun plastic that is spun through, is put through a very thin tube and put out into thin strings and then spun together to make to make a thread that can be woven or can be used as heavily used in the quilting process to make sure that those stitches don't come out when you're doing all that hand stitching to come up with a beautiful product. But that's something we really that needs to come back folks because we had the technology here. And the technology is probably still sitting around. And if anybody in this nation has the gumption to get together, I think there's still one sock maker left in the country. And they're down in Alabama. I met a gentleman at a gun show. His family still runs that sock company. But they make socks for it. You think you're getting special socks when you go and buy these name brand socks? They're all being made out of one plant in Alabama. One family makes all the socks that you're seeing from the dollar store to the jail Hudson's of the past. The Albertsons, the Lord and Tailors, the, oh gosh, I'm trying, Polo, any of these specialty brand names, they're all made out of the same material, out of the same factory. just with different specs that they were given to make them with. Folks, understand that. There's only one left. And they're getting up there in age. And gee, if the next generation doesn't want to do it, guess what? We won't have that either. Two other things I think that are very essential. Besides the, you mentioned about the various grains. You were starting a little bit on that. Yep. Yep. Could be able to get the flour. You've got to be able to grind it. And I'll tell you what, doing it with a pestle is going to be hard. Doing it by pestle and mortar is going to be really tough. You know what I'm saying? Ever tried it? Don't make it. Well, that's why the Indians and The Mexicans for many years, you know, they made the flour tortillas. They made single single Individual size because to make more than that it was really really labor intensive It was easy to grind the core last year, which I'm really I bought me a white sewing machine Oh Wow, nice us made wonderful. Oh, it's even better It was manufactured in 1901. Oh, is it is it a treadle? It is a treadle in mint condition. Beautiful. And then I went back a month later and the old lady dug out a box of stuff. She told me she had a box of bobbins. Oh, wonderful. Well, she finally found the box and it wasn't bobbins. It had a whole bunch of pieces of scrap metal in there. She said, I don't know where all this stuff is, but I'll let you have it for 20 bucks. And I said, I ain't going to question you. It was 15 different attachment foots of all sorts. Wow. With embroidering, zigzagging, everything. On a treadle machine. Wow. A white treadle. 15 different heads for that machine. The foot pedals. That box apart is probably worth more than I paid for the machine. That's very unusual for the age. That had to be a commercial machine for doing like gloves and stuff. My mother, my mother. Yeah. Yeah. Back when you, ooh days. Yeah, oh gosh out of New York. Wow, that had to be from the fashion industry of that day. Oh my, what a find. That's terrific. Yeah, and the thing is, that machine should be able to handle light gray leather. Oh yeah. I think so. I think so. I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... I Yeah, I see Tommy from Brooklyn gave me his mother's machine, which was a commercial heavy-grade It's electric mind you but it it's oh when he told me about it Don't you dare get that to anybody you he was talking about putting it out to the road for the trash. Oh, no, you don't You're doing gonna come down and hurt you But no a BK Oh goodness Yeah, Butter Knife actually was over that way and brought it. They loaded it up in his truck and he brought it by. So I have that machine. Oh my goodness, yes. And it's heavy duty. There are very few safety features because it was a commercial machine on there. But we'll do light to medium weight leather as well. Yeah, I am. I forget this thing would even be able to sew a tent. Oh yeah. It'll do Canvas. That'll do Canvas. Oh. I was mainly concerned because it was such a heavy duty machine. I said, there's something I can now sell Canvas with. Canvas, upholstery. I mean, if you wanted to start your own little upholstery shop, you got everything to do it with right there, hon. Oh, yeah. No electricity needed. Right. Yep. And that's a thing. That's awesome. Wow. Yep. And the bobbins? The bobbin's that go in this thing are huge. They're about an inch and a half in diameter. Oh, that's a round once? Yes. Oh, okay, that's a little later because it used to be the ones that I would say they're about an inch and a half long and maybe a third of an inch across, but they're like a spindle that drops down in into almost a bullet shape. More than twice the size of a regular bobbin in diameter. Just because it's a commercial machine that way you don't run out of thread as fast. That was what I figured too. Absolutely. Being able to work on a longer cloth, on a longer piece of time than you would. Well, in commercial ventures like that, you're going from piece to piece and you're not even breaking the thread between the pieces. You're just doing one seam and then the next person takes care of the next step. And that's all you're doing. Stiffing that through there. We're at the top of the hour.

We'll be back at 8 o'clock with the evening edition of the Intelligence Report with Mark Kornke and Don Betcher. Oh, not Don. It's Friday night, I'm sorry. Butter knife.
