Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you 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, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch and tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free and home? Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. This is the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Quirky one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, central, west, southeast, and north. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, pbn.4mg.com, and we are on live 365. Then go to LibertyTreeRadio. We're also on AM and FM micro stations, CB base stations, and Ultra Net Technologies, both east and west of the Mississippi along with southern and central Alaska. We're on the Homer Network on the eastern seaboard from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida. From the bottom of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico, headed to Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Big Chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both The pit and the third then sweeping across the plains over the burgeoning banks of Mississippi and landing on the smoky slash the Blue Ridge where the restaurant crews Gramma team do okay teams the mob build Gramma Consortium are doing their part to bring us a replacement for the internet a million petticoat junctions us we need people not just one central operation that just means you hit one switch and they're all gone Anyway, I think we might have done with us maybe Well, we have a another caller. I think I hear the ranks of individuals in the background, possibly the restaurant or wherever they are. Wow, that's interesting. Yeah, the caller is on the original conference line and don't have that page up right now. Oh, okay, caller, you're gonna have to mute up a little bit there if you can. It is, of course, the 14th of October. It is the fourth year of APA of baby and socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K 2011 old earth calendar and That means well, it's a first day of Bob Creek and better than halfway through it already So for all of our friends down there listening, we want to say good afternoon Hopefully everybody's having a great time down there Craig from forbidden knowledge has a table down there and we have other individuals from all the network that are down there visiting even as we speak and Also, let's not forget that we have a number of other activities going on to include training operations all across the Midwest, that includes Camp Emerson, Camp Wayland North, New Camp Stasa, the Ilgum Aranges, and Camp Naga-Hitcham along with Wolf and Fox. So I want to say good morning and then good afternoon to everybody across the spectrum there because we got some people that are second shift just now getting up because they're going to be the evening crew. They go to a 24 hour, 8 hour clock for everybody and that means some people are just now cycling into operations. busy resting for most of the day. 24 hour schedule on the training sites and let's not forget that Camp Emmerich next weekend, the 21st, 23rd, and 24th Camp Emmerich will be offline. Comet engineers from both Colonial Marine Militia and other militia units are there on site along with Heavy Machine Rare, at least they're prepping for next weekend. That's when the big event takes place. Everybody keep an eye out there. and remember that there is a rescheduling to find out more about that. Get hold of your team leaders when the time comes and they will inform you of changes and rescheduling locations as far as where you will be training in place of the original schedule which was established a year ago since we have a one year cycle for programs and classes at these facilities. Let's see, 15th and 16th, so of course, Knob Creek, Michigan Chutes, 15th of tomorrow, Hey, you're going to be very busy. Poker face is down there. The band should be playing. And we have a lot of other events there on the range and around the range. So if you get a chance in the area, stop in, say hi, and have some fun. And as a matter of fact, we may have done with us. Nope. OK. Well, see, we've got all kinds of other things here. You do have a collar collar. You're on the air. Go ahead. Jump in there, collar. I was on the old line, but you turned that off apparently. No, it's still running. No, the other line is silent. That's strange, because it's getting the same audio that we are on the other one right now, or at least it should be. Let's see what's going on there. Yep, that's shown they're both active. Something strange happened there. Well, let again overlapping technology in two different conference lines here, so everybody pay attention to that one. We'll see what we can do to continue with the experiment. I'll try hanging up on the other line and getting back on it and see what happens. There we go. We'll do a little experimentation actually. That's what our callers can do if we have something that's a little bit of a question. Let's see, other than that, not a whole lot that's been jumping off here in the last 15 to 20 hours that I see is really ultra critical. The BS with the Iran story is just exactly that. They have been trying to whip up and you know, something to deflect the holder case because remember holder is going into or supposed to be going before the house with regard to Operation Gun Runner, Operation Gun Runner slash Operation Gun Runner. So we'll find out more about that as we go and see how they deflect or continue to try to deflect that to you know, do their part quote unquote, ha ha ha. Oh cool, thank you guys in the chatroom here. Obama sends 100 US troops to Uganda to help kill Lord's Resistance Army. Hmm, now let's see, two days ago President Obama authorized employment to Uganda of approximately 100 combat equipped US forces to help regional forces remove from the battlefield. Forces remove, help? regional forces removed from the battlefield, meaning killer captured. Lords Resistance Army leader Joseph Kony and senior leaders of the LRA. The force will deploy beginning with a small group and grow over the next month to 100. They will ultimately go to Uganda, South Sudan, and Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of the Congo with the permission of those countries. Okay, well that just means either a mercenary corps or an SF unit of some kind take your pick. The President made the announcement in a letter to House Speaker John Bonner, a Republican of Ohio Friday afternoon saying that deploying these U.S. armed forces furthers U.S. national security interests and foreign policy and will be a significant contribution toward counter LRA efforts in Central Africa. He said although the US forces are combat equipped, they are will only be providing information. Yeah, okay, we'll throw that out the window. We know better than that BS advice and assistance to partner nation forces and they will not themselves engage LRE forces unless necessary for self-defense. Now read that there on 100 killer mission and the rest is all baffling with BS by a liar that we got sitting at the White House. I'll throw that out the window. Gah. I don't even want to breed any of the tripe like that when it's generated to croc. Anyway, I'm sorry, I'm insulting our friends that are posting it. It's just the idea that when you read the stuff and it's like, oh, they're not going to be doing anything. They're just there with peaceful, lovely, and intense, and they just want to hug people. Yeah, OK, whatever. And the other thing here, too, is that don't forget we have two or three other Special events coming up this weekend that overlap with what's going on down on Knob Creek. We do have a limited national meeting, but it's a regimental combat team leaders meeting that's taking place not far from Knob Creek and that is a preparatory. for a proposed national meeting because of new organizational structure. So for all of you that are listening that are with the CMM, Colonial Marine Militia, you guys have a very specific task ahead of you this weekend and it's all business, you know, be it play or any, shall we say, entertainment going on. So they hope to have everything done Saturday, I think by Saturday evening and then get on down the road. This is not really going to be a minor business meeting is certain business or activity events meeting this is a uh... specific event They wanted to sculpt it down because the only discussion is what part of the country to have the national in. Usually they try to centralize it, but the proposal is to have it a little more out west, possibly in Iowa this time around. That's still fairly central, but it of course means crossing the Mississippi for a lot of people. But it was because of the number of forces that are in Wyoming, Nebraska, etc. the people that are out there. And the other meetings have taken place, for the most part, east of the Mississippi and the central states to include, of course, both Michigan and Indiana, or not Michigan, forgive me, Ohio and Indiana at one point. They did have one of the national meetings here in Michigan too. If you want to find a little bit more about the history, go to colonialmarinemilitia.4mg.com www.colonialmarinemilitia.4mg.com and there's postings there of course, updates as needed. So if you have something in particular that you'd like to find out or that you'd like to pass on, as you know, if you're a CMM member, there are specific conduits to get the postings up and on the page. Let's see, do the other thing that I mentioned. Oh, you know what? And I threw that out at the end of the hour and I'm going to slap myself in the microphone again because I did find the company The dealer warehouse for our friends that are listening and hopefully Bill, in fact I'm going to have to post this again on Monday for Bill on the morning program. www.tdwsales.com Now and you go to that site that is an odds and ends company. They have some interesting stuff actually some pretty decent equipment They're not a big company, but for instance for those of you have the macro of pistol They have the macro emergency spare parts pack for $60. Okay, and again, this is www.tdw sales.com Oh, Don's there Don we got you can hear us Okay, it's just Strange he called in on the old conference line and apparently the old conference line for whatever reason is not picking up the audio We are hooked up to him though. It's muted. No, it's not muted. It's active Okay, they automatically with that when they come in they come in hot for whatever reason There is no audio going to it though apparently because nobody's saying they're hearing anything on the old line That could be where they're getting ready to dump it off though Okay, so yes right now. They're both hooked up on the same Skype system dead They're getting the same audio and there is when somebody calls in there. It's still the same way it was they're automatically active They can hear we can hear them so for everybody listening again be patient We'll have to see if we can connect with Don Well Don should know to call the new number right Real quick here again, I just want to get on the list of things. There's a couple items here that are definitely worthwhile, but for those of you, and Bill from Austin was asking about 45 ACP parts. 1911 spare parts pack, part number K1911A, $1911A. $60, and it gives a simple photograph, a picture right there of all the parts that are available from that little kit. Actually, it's not a bad little buy. with a good chunk of what you need to actually put all the trigger parts together for the weapon. They do have a slide. They had a couple others, but you guys, when I brought these up on the air, they had two other slides originally. You guys went in and bought them all. All you people who were building 45s took it seriously, went in and said, oh yeah, I want those. Talked to the guys and they said there was a flurry of purchases after we brought this company up on the air. It's been a few days since I've brought them up again. But there isn't a little package for you guys who have the Browning High Power. This is just a little game getter slash a nice little thing to have in your combat kit with the rest of your gear when the time comes. It's a 22 long rifle conversion kit for the Browning High Power pistol. Part number is K22 HP now. It's $200. Yes, it's $200 But this is a complete system the entire upper slide all of the you know including the barrel The fixtures all everything you need is in this package, and there's one magazine that comes with it It is a I don't know if they have spare mags or spare mags can be accessed We'd have to hunt them down to find out for sure and There we go now we have done yep For whatever reason, our audio, Don, on the other system. Yeah, we could hear you, but apparently you couldn't hear us. But you sounded really good. So anyway, but it would have been very one-sided for you. That's the only problem, too. Going over to the number was a needful thing. Anyway, I'll tell you what, real quick here, write this down, the www.tdwsales.com. That's www.tdwsales.com. That's Tango Delta Whiskey, TDWSales.com. This is the company I was talking about that I was trying to find. It's on the left coast. It has a whole bunch of other cool little unique items. What's most important is that they have, let's see, online ordering catalog is what you want to go to. They have Ballester Molina Parts. Now that's a 45, guys. That's a 1911 type. CZ50-70 parts, CZ52 parts, FNFAL parts, L1A1 parts, M1 carbine parts, 1911 parts, M1911. There we go. Magazines, Macarov parts, MP40 parts, odds and ends, another good subject by the way. Spare part sets and stem parts. Now if you go to the odds and ends, Let me give you an example. Now there are a few things here, and by the way for other people who have those old rifles I've talked about putting those old bolt guns on the shelf, they have extractors for a number of different weapons here and they're not really outrageously priced. Also, if you have the French Maas 49-56 rifle, they have parts too. An example is Argentine model 1891 Mauser extractor. Now guys, that sounds like lots of obscure guns. No it's not. There are a lot of model 1891 Argentine Mausers in the United States, guys. And you're looking at $10 for one extractor. However, Don, if you buy 10 extractors, they're $50. And the interesting thing about that is the Argentine was modified. A lot of people rechambered that rifle or rebarled those rifles. They're a sweet action. They really are. They were a very, very smooth action of the Mausers that were out there. And the Model 91 is unique. There was a flurry of them that came in back in the early 90s again. And then they just died out. because obviously it's only so long. You only drain the bathtub so long and they're all gone. However, they also have the French Moss 49-56 semi-auto rifle firing pins. $10 apiece or a pack of 10 firing pins for $50. Now, that rifle, you'll see me carrying that in a lot of other training videos. I have used this rifle. It's built like a brick doghouse. It is a very reliable weapon, comfortable weapon to use, so if you have one or if somebody inherited one, there's a place to find the spare firing pins which I would say buy them. If you have a bunch of these rifles piled up, some of our units have these in both 7.5 French or in .308, 7.62 NATO. If you do, there's your spare firing pins we've always talked about. Buy them while you can. A 10-pack for $50, that's $5 apiece. Oh yeah. You know, you can't get any better price than that for a firing pin, especially when you got to remember that's an all-machine component, specialized. The other thing they've got down is they have M14 combo tools. Now if guys use used to be a lot cheaper but still this is a reasonable price. They've got a 10 pack of M14 combo tools for $30. Now that's not bad, that's $3 a piece and those are US manufactured machine components. That's also the handle for the cleaning rod. But it's yeah, it's the gas wrench It's got all the takedown pin points on it and it was a very intricate combo tool that was created for the m14 Scroll down through the rest you'll find some of the other stuff there that you're in there You know people will be interested in however We get over there to 1911 parts now. They don't have the cheap slides down. They sold out of them you guys all took an interest, but they do have Brand-new GI slides these are brand new in fact a new manufacturer Commercial for the 1911 pistol, caliber 45 ACP. These slides have the series 80 firing pin block cut, but can be used with series 70 parts. Includes front sight, but not rear sight. These slides were made in Europe and are some of the best slides we have seen. The unit price is $230. I'm going to throw the penny in there because it says $129.99. So, $130, that's a far cry from, remember the last time we brought you this company they had them for $35 a piece and they had the National Match Slides for about $60, by what I recall. I found the listing for them here. They do have other 1911 parts, you've got to go through to see what it is that's useful. One of the things they do have down, they do have, as I pointed out before for you guys building those, you know, $45s from scratch, M1911 custom hammer for $15 and they also have grip safeties, you know again the more sophisticated stuff, unique stuff out there, mainspring housings, most all the pins, all of the plunger and recoil components. The little spare parts kit for the 45 runs $60. They have a 1911 three hole custom trigger for $10, brand new Virgin. That's not bad for that by the way. That's a match trigger. Other stuff to mention, they do have brand new barrels. Stainless steel, hammer forged for $80. But these are stainless barrels. In other words, it's a little less maintenance and a little less to worry about with the .45 when it comes to using the weapon in the field. They also have barrel bushings in stainless steel. So you can you know stainless out most of the gun without going over to an AMT which I think is kind of neat Again, you're building it from pieces so you don't have to spend all that money at once of course with me I'd be like yeah, I gotta have that yeah I gotta have that oh no gotta have that yeah I got to have one of those and of course they do have ejector pins things of that nature dollar apiece for the ejector pins by three a Dollar apiece by three you're gonna you're gonna use them trust me on this one that'll help cover the postage Yeah, exactly. In 1911, firing pins for $5 if you want to buy them separate. But the little kit is actually a good idea. They do have the grip springs. I'm just looking at the general list. So it's definitely worthwhile in the spare parts, odds, and ends, and also in the other weapons. Now, I have not looked to see what they have new in listings for magazines. They do have, let's see if there's anything that's going to make me go ooh. FM Browning 9mm Hyper 10 round, those are the restricted mags from the ban period. Now still $20 a piece. These are a newer magazine. They have Well, let's see mp34 mg3 magazine pout magazines with pouch sigp228 mags And that usual a mix fair what they had before it looks like we've sold out a few of the items that we would they had for you know cheap cheap cheap That was expected. I guess we ate we've eaten them up They do have some HK 33 53 slash 93 magazine 40 rounders for thirty dollars a piece these are mags that normally go for up around seventy and eighty dollars uh... fact their original price was about sixty they have that so if you have one of those h k two two three rifles uh... the the in between gun because now of course rent to the same girl for give me the uh... h k uh... Oh, come on, what are they calling the new one? It's got the oversized carry handle holding theirs. Everybody knows it. That's why they kind of jumped past this particular, the Model 93, and it moved on. But magazines are still few and far between. The cop shops that are carrying the Model 53, a lot of them do, by the way, use this magazine. And the cop shops are charged $70 apiece. I know because they're whining and complaining about not being able to afford more. Of course, I guess I could go here and buy them for half price, but I'm sure they won't do that. They probably have somebody go buy them for half price and then charge the department full price for them. That's how it's going to work. Anyway, um... So it's a worthwhile endeavor and this is a direction to head for the slide that was being asked about the bill was discussing. However, SARCO, and I didn't get a chance to call them today, SARCO definitely has a lot of 45 slides. They've got 45 barrels, both finished and unfinished. And in fact, little unfinished barrels are running I think $4.50 a piece, Don, the more you buy the cheaper they are. What is left to do to them basically do the lower you know pin pin drill across the retainer the down below for the barrel and put the put the Barrel swivel in so that's about it the otherwise there What it was is a barrel project came from one of the companies went out of business usual usual situation circle buys a lot of company stock up That's you know going down and they usually offer it for a pretty good price and that's what they were doing there. They've actually been pretty reliable. The other thing is they do have a bunch of carbine parts. I assume these came from the Koreans. And one of the things about this, for those of you who are really picky about building a carbine, that's all matching parts. They have the individual manufactured firing pins from many different companies and they're properly IDed and properly coated. So most of them are about $20 a piece. In fact, only one or two of which are more unique, the Roccolas for instance, are up around $40 now but everything else is about $20. For those of you who have carbines, it's a solution for both carbine firing pins and extractors. If you're looking just for something that's serviceable, again, just buy the more common and throw it in the rifle if it's a standard carbine. They have M1 carbine gas pistons. That is something that, actually they'll say the carbine gas piston nut. Now the gas piston is $10 and the nut is $10. Guys, this is the part. If you want to take a look at what I've told everybody about for years, remember Don, how he used to buy carbines for $60 from people. Well, they would fire up the carbine, but I asked, did you clean it? They said, oh yeah. I said, well, did you really clean it? And they go, yeah, the thing just isn't working right. So I'd say, are you sure you only want $60 for this? And I was like, yeah, go ahead and take it. I don't want to deal with it anymore. So I'd buy the weapon, and we bought hundreds of them like this, and take it out of the stock. And sure enough, the gas piston was carboned up and looked like somebody dumped a big bunch of soot down in there. And they just fired and continued to fire. And of course, it would eventually carbon up and malfunction. And the first thing you do is break out the, you could use carb cleaner or you could use scrub, you know, whatever gun scrub you want. And what you do is clean up that piston area and clean up the area around it and clean out the stock because it usually had just as much garbage as the metal parts did themselves. Lo and behold, that carbine started operating like a singer sewing machine. Well, that piston, there's a replacement for $10. You can't beat that. You can't build that part for $10. And the gas piston nut, same thing. It's a piece of threaded stock. This is all mill spec. These are all mill parts. So there you go. Those two right off the bat would be a $20 investment if I had a carbine. If you're listening to me and you got a carbine, go to www.tdsales.com. and they've got an M1 carbine category. You go to the online ordering catalog and you'll find carbines. There's a bunch of other stuff there. They've got trigger housings, hammer springs, a bunch of other stuff. It's a mix. This company does not have a whole solid line of everything, but they do have pretty much everything you need for the primary components. Firing pins and extractors from two number one priorities as far as I'm concerned. On the carbine, that is the other you know, critical part, a replacement gas piston or a spare and a replacement gas piston nut just to have them on hand. You're not going to run out at all. Let's put it this way, carving parts are not going cheaper, guys. They're just doing nothing but getting more expensive. Anyway, I know I harped on that enough and I promised and I'm going to have to do this again. I still have to do this again on Monday because I don't know if Bill got the number and the information. Hopefully he's going to follow up and give us the information on the sarco, Don. What's happening in your neck of the woods there? What's jumping off the wall? Well, it is raining on its 14th day of October and I would say we talked about little mirrors. It might have been last Friday, it might have been the Friday before and I was kind of elated to have picked up a couple of them. Well, Mark, there's two of them here with your name on them now. Oh, I appreciate that. They were $1.89 or something. There's nothing to brag about sharing with my few guys. It's the little dinky things, much like you talked a spring or a firing pin. Now while I was in that same store I was able to pick up pocket protectors. Remember pocket protectors and every nerd had a pocket protector and a calculator and others say, oh no it wasn't a calculator, it used to be a slide rule. A slide rule, in fact I kept every one of those I've ever found because guys doesn't require batteries, just requires brains. Yup, yup. There used to be other things that you'd see in that sort of like pocket protector. Sometimes you'd see little wrenches, sometimes you'd see little screwdrivers. Hint, hint. You know, little wrenches. When you get to dinky little fasteners like that, it is best. It is a dinky little screwdriver and a dinky little screw, you know, slot or Phillips head. Hold is on it. You turn it and it distorts the head or it distorts the only tool you've got to get that dinky little screw out. past tense of that fastener word, that's where you're at. You know what I mean. And hint hint, and we don't have to talk much more about it. Mark, many times you've talked about, can fix things and tools that can build tools like taps and dies. Now, with that in mind, we've talked about stones before, and stones, the ability to, what some people use a stone on top of their, when they're capping their brass for the length, rather than use a file, be how much off the sizing die? Okay, so there's a number of different stones would be good for if you're a reloader that shell in your hand that empty case and place it on a on the edge of a stone now sometimes you can get I'm not talking well we can talk about heavy stones like for sharpening blades, but you know there are machinist stones also and they look like well they look like rulers they're cut line and make their brittle they can break their flat like a like a yard stick would be even better than a ruler because the yard stick both sides now those little stones you take that stone you're a reloader you take the empty case in your hand and you hold that stone in the other hand and you turn that case in the extractor groove until you've pulled off all the little burrs there in the extractor groove wow that sure comes in handy and it kinda guarantees that the next time that claw grabs that empty case and moves backward rather rapidly it's gonna Throw that shell completely clear of the, oh, what is that called? I want to say exhaust port, but it's not the exhaust port. The ejection port, that's right. You know, kind of mixing motors and guns there. But, you guys, the right tool. And tools are going to be more and more precious. We can't elaborate on it. Mark, you've talked about that since the very first time I heard you on the radio. Probably back in like, 93 or 94. You've talked about that and not to mention the tools to build. Talk for a moment, you guys. Years ago, in 1980, there was a picture of a boy in Afghanistan and he was talking about building a 50 caliber barrel by hand. We've brought this up to the hour before, remember? Now that youngster testified that it takes about a month to make a 50 caliber barrel by hand. I don't know how accurate that gun is going to be and I don't know if he even pulled any type of rifling bullet through it. I imagine trying to cut rifling by hand way down there in the barrel. I don't know about that. At any rate, it took the young man about a month to build just a .50 caliber barrel. That's kind of determination and if you think like that, well you can build one and then go out and get one that's even better or more. But we've talked about We've talked about wrenches and other things, screwdrivers and caps and dies. But another thing that will complement a stone, you guys, to shape metal or to repair is a file. Now I know, Mark, when people think of files, they think of, you know, big flat bars could have made a horseshoe out of that hunk of metal, only they made it straight and then cut all those things in it and all of that. Those are good. And those are, you know, right tool for the right job. But Mark, back to those pocket protectors, I picked up maybe seven files today. Not one of them is wider in the cutting area than five millimeters. I think some of them are three millimeters. I think one of them has a teardrop. One of them is flat. One of them is round. I do believe at least one of them has a teardrop. You guys, when you're looking at fine work and, you know, to build a gun, what now? The K.T. Ordnance Guns that we've promoted over the last few years, I'm getting a little bit of feedback on those and you know what? It would be better to try to go to a machinist and have, you know, your friend the machinist help you build that gun than to try to build, rather than to try to drill at man, you drill that hole, that 1-2-5 hole. Now you try to put that 1-2-4 reamer other things you could even use to make a hole. But you know what, if you're trying to fix things, dinky little files in guns and other things, and sometimes you guys, we, we bought something completely different, but we're going to look along the same lines. This one guy comes here, and I got a number of people come here, and over the years they've said, well, I want to, I want to be a professional fighter, and I, but I have one. And this goes back to the, I don't remember the, the general's name difference in a hundred men, the first to be there. They make the fight and I'll paraphrase this and the other nine, well, they're the one he will bring. This guy's like that. He's one in a hundred that's been through here. He wants and he demonstrates he wants to fight in a cage and he hits hard. But going back to that, the right tool for the right job, the right end to train. Now, I'm getting a little bit off track of exactly where I wanted to go with this, but you guys, You can work this in so many different directions. You can say that, well, and I've got that and I can do this and I can do that. But you know what? When going back to the fighter, when you review things or when you're standing there and telling two different people, do this, do that, now you pose to one, how would you get out of that while you ask the other, how do you keep him there? You know where I'm going with that. So many things in situations like that immediately. Of the tree, Don's trying to get you to look at. But many, many opportunities are overlooked. I don't have to put fighter in there, do I? We could just talk about opportunities missed. And Mark, I go right back to what you said so many times. Now is the time to gather the tools around you. And you know what? Even to the extent that if you're standing someplace and you might not be a machinist, But here they're doing a closeout or over there this garage sale and and the machinist is walking away from the guy who was a machinist or or something along we could talk about any number of here's the guy a scuba diver walking away a tank and regulator because he doesn't need it and can't doesn't have the money for it and We could go over to so many different things like that things that are going to be a value You know it's pretty hard to make a pressure vessel. A whole lot of different things could go in there and that's just one example. What did we run across here in the last few minutes? Guns, scuba gear, all types of machine things, you know machinist tools and whatnot. The guy that walks away and says man that's a great deal but I just can't afford it but if you could pick up that great deal maybe you can turn it later and turn that money into more money but you know what look for just like the descriptions of maybe man that guy says that toolset's worth $400 and that guy wants $80 for it and he'd get it if he had the money and walk over there and offer him $60. Maybe he's set on getting $80 for it. Tools, much like bullets you guys, much like food. Plenty of people out there are storing up beans and rice but why is it that, well people pay for salt, don't they? People pay for pepper. I know people pay for beans and rice, but you see where I'm going with that. You know, if you've got beans and rice, but you don't have water to boil them up in, now there's an opportunity overlooked, isn't there? And we've talked about projects as of late and used the bridge at the end of my street here as example. You guys, one way to get ready for the New World Order, and Mark, you've done this a number of times and we're going to do this again, you guys. sit down and make a list and it's so simple and it's so many times overlooked. Sit down and make a list. If you want to get a good running start on that, some place on the internet there's a list that says the hundred things that disappear first in a war. And there's a parallel to that. The hundred things that disappear first in riots or something like that along those lines. But punch those in and look at that list. Look at, man, I've got those and I've got plenty of that. Oh man, I overlooked. Here's that phrase again, that two word compound. I overlooked instead of, gee, I wish I would, instead of regretting later, saying, man, I thought of that once and I never pulled it to the front of my mind again. Sit down and make a list. And look at other people's lists. Run with that. And you can make the list of everything you need. overlook, make that list of everything you think you're going to need and then go back on the list and say, I've got one of those, I've got one of those. Now that's kind of redundant because you're redundant. Why? Because you know you're trying to think of all the things that you've got now, right? And there are plenty of people who are saying, I've got everything I need. But sit down and make a list. And when you make that list, when you go back over it, look at what you have and write it down next to. This list might be pages and pages long. But if it comes to food, now there's categories of food there, you can run it out. Now if you want to go through the food groups, I'm not going to do that. But when it comes to food, you can categories it simply like canned goods and then immediately perishable. You can run it out like that, but sit down and make a list. We've called it the wish list, we've called it the dream list, mostly the wish list over the years. I wish I had one of these. And when you do that list, well gee, As you acquire these things, food first. Look at bullets to protect your food. Now when you're starting to get bigger areas of things like that, well gee, bigger areas mean you're going to have to keep this someplace, aren't you? In the top of the garage, in the basement, in the attic, all around, spread throughout the place, however you do it. Mark, I've walked into different places and one comes to mind where I walked into a house and it's 80, 85 miles from here and he might be listening, he might not. And you walk into the living room and it seems rather, you know, congenial and pleasant and like many Midwest living rooms, you know, the front room. You walk down a hall and the hall's kind of narrow because of all the foodstuffs and cans that are packed along, stored along one side of the wall. And this is not an exaggeration. You turn the corner and you go down the stairs. I don't know how he did it. He leveled out stairs and built little shelves along it. But as you go down the stairs to the basement, all along those stairs are cans of food. There's corn and beans and all kinds of other things, but there's cans of food. Now, that guy's wish list for food is completely filled. No doubt he had enough. He's still eating stuff he put away 6, 8, 10 years ago. And when we talk about things like that, cycle them through. Don't continue to bring the new stuff in and put it on top and then wonder why the stuff on the bottom is bad. You know a lot of it's like common sense. You know, if you've been listening to the hour, this hour for a while, and you look around at a lot of things that uninformed people do, it seems like where has the common sense gone? I'm certain that there are a number of people nodding their heads right now saying, yeah Don, you're right. Make a list. When you come to tools, you know, you could, when it comes to tools, You could fill pages of tools. You could have power tools and hand tools. And now we go over to, you know, when I was a youngster, it used to be common to see a hand powered drill in most everybody's garage who had tools in their garage. Now it might have been a hangover from their father or even their grandfather or drill. You know, it's got a crank on one side and like a broom handle on the top and it's in the bottom and you can put almost any size drill bit if you You've got it in that hand powered drill and it might take you a while to drill through some metal with it, but if you needed a hole there, well, you have the ability to do it, don't you? It could go on and on about this, but you know what? I'll be quiet in just a moment right after I tell you. Sit down and make a list, because much like the fighter who overlooks an opportunity to gain that win in an instant, There are many things that you're going to think in the future. Man, I think I've got everything. I'm certain I've got everything in there. I'm certain right now, Don is certain, that there's somebody listening who's saying, man, yeah, I'm all taken care of. And one day he's going to think of something, or it's going to be the demand on him. And they're going to look in there, let's do that Felix the Cat magic bag of tricks. And they're not going to be able to pull it out of there. Because why? It wasn't put there to begin with. So we can talk about, you know, you need to get this and you need to get that. You know, Mark, you talked about gun parts. You can sit down and make a list and it's probably going to fill most of the page for the spare parts for the guns in your house. Everybody that's listening. And when you've done that, you think, your only thing when you start to make that list. Hey, Don. You're distorted pretty bad and I'm not sure why. What kind of phone? No, it's probably just Skype. It's done this before. Usually it's on and off when Don's talking, that or it's a new conference line that's having this problem. I'm going to have to figure out which. I was on the moment ago. No, you're normal and you're right back to normal. Okay. Bring something to me. We wish that I got... The reason actually is interesting, this has been distorting on and off here. Something we're having a problem with. Question! Are you watching videos in there again? No. Did you have any up? No, we're not up. Well, you had something else playing in there earlier. Just wondering, cause... I'll walk out to my phone box and give it a shower with the DVD for it. Don, it's nothing on your end, Don. It's gotta be something on our end that's eating the bandwidth up. It's definitely, the way it's going up and down it's like something's tapping it. Or tapping it. No, it's something on our system that is eating up our bandwidth. We'll deal with it eventually and we'll cure that problem. We can spring light from that because you know what, Eddie has that ability. that can never be taken from him. He can be old and feeble of hand but still be able to, even if he can't do it himself, he can tell somebody how to fix it. Interestingly enough, Don, what it is is we're experimenting with a new system here and everything is stripped down to just to try and figure out where the problem's coming from. It's interesting, it's just fluctuations of the system. Of course we've had some wet weather too. We've got all kinds of other variables that are taking place. We're going to have to experiment and see what the new mechanism is, what it's capable of or incapable of basically. That new mechanism wouldn't be affected by the weather, Dad. This is just, if it is, it would be weather on their end, not on our end. And so we still got down there? Yes, we do. There we go. Talk to me, Don. That's actually, go right ahead, keep our jump in there, because then we'll be able to tweak, you know, see what's going on with the system. I can't do anything with it right now, Dad. I'm going to have to mess with it on Sunday or Saturday when I have time. We're up live right now and I can't fix it while we're on the air. Well again, you know, it'll be something that we'll take care of and it'll get better. Much like, you know, learning how to work with tools to make something better, fix it. The more I... We can't reinforce this enough, you guys. Let's do it like this. The more you can do for yourself, you've heard it here before. the more you will be self-sufficient. The more self-sufficient you are, the more valuable you are to those immediately around you, i.e. your fan or friends. The more skill sets you possess, the more valuable you will be to your community. And well, you know, you think about, well, I want to be of value to my community. Well, Ralph down the road needs that motor running, and he don't know nothing about mechanics, so He's going to come up the street and say he knows you can fix it and I know that'd be quite a job and I I'm smoking up half of that pig and I'd give you half of that if you helped me get that motor running and you know half of that smoked pig had come in real handy when there ain't a whole lot of food around. Sometimes I strive to practice proper English. Well, that's just one example. There are some things you can fix and there's some things that you can't and there's some things that have to be replaced. Yup, yup. This is true. But you know, we're not talking and I'll use another example from the old timer in reference to Eddie there. It's pretty hard to make a gas mask out of mud, isn't it? It's pretty hard to make a gas mask out of 2x4s or even the used dashboard of a car. gas mask out of that, isn't it? That goes over to, well, if you can't fix it, you're going to need another. If it can't be fixed, you're going to need another. Take everything off of that that you can take into the next piece, looking in the not-too-distant future to buy another handgun. And I think it's just going to be another 1911, Mark. Oh, well, golly, gee, all my spare parts fit into the new gun. I don't have to diversify in that respect. You know, it's a good thing in many, many ways, like, you know, a shotgun, a rifle, and a handgun. There's diversification. You know, but other things, as example, diving. But it's another skill set, isn't it? It's another ability. You know, something interesting about that, Don. You know, I was just ahead of discussion today about technology. You know, that is an absolutely custom industry. And originally, you know, people don't... It's only conventional lung diving like we see, tank diving, is really only about 60 years old at best. Yes, the end of World War II. The majority of that technology was developed really to its degree in the late 50s and 60s with Jacques Cousteau and other people in the industry, not just Jacques Cousteau, he's the French guy that everybody knows, but because of a handful of people that pressed the envelope and brought in new technologies, new metals, new research into the area. But guys, originally it was all custom built, hand built equipment. Everybody understood how the regulator worked and everybody built their own. Think about that. Just in diving, we're seeing about this today because something we're going to lose is a specialized technology. There's diving, we've got a company here in Ann Arbor that is a diver supply. But you know, in a crash situation or disaster situation, that's stuff that not everybody thinks to save. And yet, one simple diving rig is enough to save you a whole lot of trouble when it comes to recovering equipment or technology, especially in situations that might be quite unique with floodings, you know, things of that nature, or permanent flood stations. A lot of people are talking about, we're going to be up to our eyeballs in water. Well, think about just what a handful of diving suits could do to recover equipment and technology, as opposed to sitting there and having to hold your breath and dive to the distance of a rope. You see so even if we had to build it build it from scratch I was thinking about this also with regard to our old vehicles worth the top by the way I know we're gonna have to close the hour here in a second. How am I sounding to you down? I just disabled my computer I don't have a way to do a break Huh, I disabled my computer and several other computers off of the system to try and kill the load so we don't have the distortion You sound fine Mark, you do too Eddie. Well yeah, but we're still getting a little distortion a little off of you. I'm just trying to free up some bandwidth. Okay. So, uh, just keep going for now dad. I'm gonna see if I can cut a little more back to see what will happen. Let's talk about that for a moment because again we're rushing toward the top. You know, you can do things breath-held. You can relax on the surface and try to load up the oxygen again, number of deep breaths, and hold your breath and go down and try to do something. But if you really want to get something done on the bottom, it's best to be able to stay on the job like you're breathing there. The example that comes to mind, Mark, and we've talked about this in a completely different text, because, well, If you drive your tank to the battlefield in Iraq and you go out there and do whatever you had to do in your tank and then you turn around and you're coming home in your Abrams there and the Abrams is on some slippery slope and slides into the river and you're upside down in the river and you die, apparently that's not a battle casualty. But there's an Abrams underwater over there, you guys. Now, simply to gain access is going to take a little while. the ability to stay on the job is going to make that job a lot faster, isn't it? I'm not saying, you know, let's call the tank retriever and drag that thing out of there because, well, the tank retriever, it belongs to the other side, doesn't it? See where I'm going? Little things, you guys. And it's the things that we've overlooked unto today. And we are at the top. And the way to avoid overlooking things, and you might think you have everything, let's sit down and make a list. I can't do that enough. Sit down and make a list. And we are at the top, Mark. I yield the four to you sir. We may be able to build from scratch guys, but we've got to have the tools to do that. That was the discussion I had today with one of the guys about automotive, about building automotive parts. There's not a part we can't build.
