full of all sorts of fraud. The Treasury reported that $110 billion in EITC payments were given out during the past decade to people who were not qualified. Legislation to raise the minimum wage would raise many low-wage earners above the income threshold that qualifies them for benefit, and thus ought to result in reduced welfare spending. This has been the Phyllis Schlafly Report. Double digit unemployment has been blamed on the economy, outsourcing of jobs to foreign countries, illegal aliens taking U.S. jobs, illiteracy, free trade, and Washington's misguided stimulus bill. At eagleforum.org, we want to hear your opinion. Join the blog conversation with Phyllis Schlafly at eagleforum.org. Thanks for listening and join us next time for the Phyllis Schlafly Report. He took off his three-cornered hat. Speaking low to me, we fought a revolution for liberty. A shield from Tyre. For future generations, this legacy we take. In this, the land we secured for you, we hope always keep. But Tyre and Slavored 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 this estate. 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 Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seasonally 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 So their children, 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, be a slave? Those sons of the Republic arise. Take a stand. To defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republican each God-given right. As Iowa key vanished in the midst of whence he came. His words were true, we are free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God-given right, we only watch him 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? He called out from the grave. emerging banks of the city of mister p.m. and the small piece of the records grab a few okay king's model for the first of the and soviet so and or mine crazy town calendar and it is no way uh... what element if the 13th of february birthday the thirty-five absolutely nothing on and you know in other words disaster numerology the kabala so we ate only a anyway you have some night to keep in what we got, screaming across the snow, all that fish, water, wealth out there. Look at all that money on the ground there. Look at all that. Anyway, we have a caller. Who do we have caller? Jump in there, please. Good morning. Who do we have? Go, Dave. We got you. Jump in there. Go ahead. I just wanted to give a quick supplier update. I think she bought some mags from Royal Tiger Direct, the Royal Tiger imports. I bought the G36 mags and Of the stuff that I bought, most of it looked pretty good. There was a mix of the aluminum bags with some of the steel. The steel was pretty rusty, but the aluminums were beautiful. A few dents and dings, but overall pretty good. The one problem I had with that company is I also ordered some AK mags with the mag pouches. And they first didn't send me the mags in with the thing and then they called and about a day later they got back with me and then they finally sent the mags out. And this is just, you know, usually beware, of the eight mags that I got, seven of them had the followers rusted in place. and I've contacted the company or tried to and they won't return my calls now. So just a heads up to anybody wanting to buy stuff from there. I don't know if anybody's had success or failure, but this is just one man's report. Okay, now the G3 mags all came from Sturm and they'll be a mix of condition. And what they are, they're not really super pitted rusty. What they've got is storage patima on some of the steel ones. And there's millions of them. Let me tell you, nobody's going many of them. They're not sorted. The magazines, the steel and aluminum mags are all just piled up, one on top of the other and there are millions of them. That's why they're the cheapest mag in the market right now. So some are in the plastic, some are in the paper. Did you get any in the plastic? No, the G3 mags, so when I said, I think you misunderstood me, I said AK. It wasn't HK. is AK mags. Right, no, no, you got both, right? You got HK-9, you got HK-91 mags, and you got the AK mags. Now, I'm curious because you see, those sound like they came from the same place and they haven't had AK mags for a while, so now you've got me having to pick up the phone because I need to find out. There are some grade two mags, or they may not even have told anybody. You've got to remember, the render revolution companies are scurrilous. They're notoriously so. Good bananas on the top and so-so bananas underneath. and one of the other i've got the problem with the other yeah you go to the other work i'm serious i've done this before i've i end up with a whole uh... bunch of a k mag before work though the biggest thing about the eight k mag uh... for those of you all disassembled your mags i hope uh... you have to slabs on either side to you know help the follower to stay in in both junction it doesn't she can't ship the three-naught possible to ship okay but because of this if they There's abrasion on the area and it creates bare metal. And as we know, when we have bare metal, we were used, which I've seen crates and can't do thousands, if not hundreds of thousands there. Sold them out on the market knowing that somebody should have done. So what was the price on the AK mags though? It was pretty reasonable. It was the, I bought two pouches and I think it came to like $59. So that was then, you know, eight mags. Four mags per pouch? Yeah. Okay, that's the pouch. It's busted tight, so it's basically scrapped. Well, no, no, no, the thing you need to do with those, first of all, go and I have some of this right behind me, as a matter of fact, because I use it on a lot of other stuff. There's a couple of different penetrating oils. I really pick out whatever you want from the auto store. They'll recommend one. This is the best one used. Everybody has the best one that they like the most. Take and just inside the top of the mags. They're not junk. Take and inside the top of the mag, put a little bit of penetrating oil right along where the follow around the left and right is, because that's really what you want to concentrate on. You can put a little on the front and back, on the narrow sides, but the broad sides are where you need to go first. Let them sit upright. Sit them up like bananas, sitting side by side somewhere so that the material permeates the metal. Then take a little piece of a wooden dowel, small enough that it goes between the feed lips, the side of a hammer, and tap, tap, tap after a few days. In many cases, in the first day, you'll probably just, if you do a light tap, and how they come loose, typically what it is, The whole side of that follower does not abraise. Only a couple of contact or raise points because of the way the material is stamped, okay, locking up. Then when you disassemble them, obviously you want to inspect those. You might want to deburr because typically all of them that were made during the Cold War by being paid minimal wage or gas services. You can take and dress those and clean them up. As long as you're going to have to clean some oxidation off, what I do is I take are probably number one. There's not very much of a surface. It's like a little razor blade. Number two is that there's more oxidation. Clean off those surface areas there. Wet them with some oil to see how much oxidation is left there. Don't grind because you've probably got bluing or you've got parkerizing on the follower. If they're really bad, I've taken some that were gray, disassembled them like this, and put them in the bead blaster and bead blasted everything out of policy. Then the follower and the magazines and then repaint them whatever you want to do uh... personally i i get now you got hard coat right to a hard coat for the uh... work or i go have a chrome cost money we have coming plants here because we still a little bit of industry left uh... flat black just so they can then once they've been for you know if you use like for instance engine paint that's another tricky to mop cook assemble them i put a fine just with my finger put a bead on there and then rub it all the side slabs of those mags they'll come apart they'll come apart if they're not rusted solid on the outside are they flaky rusty There's a few that are a little bit, have a little bit of, most of it surface observation. I think what happened with some of these, I think, you know, Somalian pirates, they got a few of these. Exactly. Because the followers are rusted deep out inside, like where the screen's already fully compressed. So I think what they did is they just left them out, they got wet, and they rushed it in place, and then they just shake the bullets out. Because there's no tension holding them. That's exactly one of the things to remember is that a couple different ways that can happen too. Sitting in mag pouches or in leather. Remember you've seen this, a lot of the older equipment, and even the stuff, a lot of it in Africa and the stands, they love leather because they got lots of cows and critters are killing. Leather is cool, but as far as leather is good durable material, but if you're going to carry anything in leather it promotes or pulls moisture. It seals moisture in too. It does exactly kind of like a canteen, you know like a sack of butt canteen made out of leather. For that reason, as I've said before, with handguns and whatever magazines you need to pull them and clean them, a lot of times they just let stuff sit. And like I said, the point we've seen how their guns look It's like you couldn't find a 99 cent can of spray paint and release touch them off. I mean I can't believe that. That demonstrates, that makes you wonder about the mind. You know what I mean? Yeah. Because it's like to me it'd be like well I think I could skimp a meal if I had to you know save up a whole while. Because over here it's a dollar can of spray paint. Guys over in Somalia. Or get some oil from a car that you changed the oil with. Yeah at least yeah. Put a reservoir together and dip a minute once in a while. You know what I mean? What's the big deal there? But of course you gotta remember it's such a poor country they're fighting over that oil coming out of that crankcase. Because your dirty oil is going to be the oil in my car because I had your dirty oil the last time and I'm going to use your dirty oil again. Your oil might be dirty but it's better than the oil that's in my engine right now. It's still a problem with poverty but it's just the idea that a can of spray paint over there would be probably 25 to 30 cents. Not even that. Probably if it's a dollar store can of paint like we get here it would be a fifteen or twenty-cent can of paint over there but that's like spending five dollars over here i would skip to me skip why because i want that weapon functioning follows now granted the eighties of forgiving weapon but it's down to basically no maintenance in general and uh... the other thing is the more equipment you buy guys the more critical of it more important schedule of maintenance becomes you know that or you get everybody to pitch in because everybody has an assigned weapon and uh... you know i could be at five ten program everybody pitches in and you have a day where you have maintenance on the weapons every month of the magazines. Now the way to do the magazines, and you know thank you for bringing this up, the way to do the magazines is 50-50. A lot of people ask me well how many mags you have loaded? Well your combat load, guys, should be loaded up. But it should be, that should be 50% of your magazines that you have in inventory. Now what you do is you, every month, you pull all the rounds out of the mags, You disassemble the mags, do a maintenance inspection on the ones that have been sitting, double check again all of your contact surfaces, properly dust it all the other 50 pack into your combat, other mags, rust and not rusting. You know, obviously rusting can happen if you're not paying attention, but this is another reason that I would also recommend, and you know, this is something that right now, in fact I'll tell you the best price, the best price for a large capacity, uh, ammo can. if you're going to do it, you might as well buy some other stuff from them but it's www.colmanscom and I've seen these before and if anybody out there listening needs a deep ammo can in fact these cans are big enough that you could actually, they're mortar tube cans they're available through colmans the neat thing is that they obviously are their standard military can but they've got the best price in the country on these things it's like ridiculous like to the point where you couldn't afford not to buy them But if you're going to buy one and have it ordered, you might as well buy some other stuff from their sales section or whatever. Because... Let's see, I'm trying to get hold of... Let's see, where are the ammo cans? Let's go to containers here. The reason I say this is because, for instance, you're making important equipment like this. If you can, if you put them into cans, guys, you alleviate a good portion of what creates oxidation, which is contact with the air and humidity. It's bad enough as it is, just there's enough humidity, enough moisture in the air. with H2O and that oxygen is what helps to create oxidation. If you can put them into 20 millimeter cans or 30 caliber cans, anything and everything that you can store like that will be better off in the long run. It looks like they've sold out of these. I hope not because I wanted to go pick some up and we were going to drive to Pennsylvania to do it. Anyway, I'm going to have to search around here, but they have a can that's about $11, $8 to $11 that is a dog ammunition can. They are readily available and they're reasonably priced. In fact, they're cheaper than a .50 caliber can. For magazines, the 20 millimeters or the 30 millimeter cans are great. And once you got them cleaned up, again, if you do anything to do storage maintenance, don't put any ammunition in them if you're going to be lubricating them up for storage. Remember, lubricants, preferably, we use zero to so little that you could barely measure it. A minimal amount to make sure that the material does not oxidize. The HK mags, the steel ones, the cool thing is they sent you a mix of aluminum and steel just outright. Correct? It's probably about 90% of them were all the aluminum mags. And actually, those were, I've been going through them and just cleaning up the residue inside of it. The dust, yeah. them a little bit and then reassembling the mags. That's why they've been down good making sure they're all proper function. That dust came from the factory warehouse that they were seriously. When they came in brand new when they came in out of the containers there was very little dust. The building that they store them in was an automotive factory that was behind the main warehouse. It's a quarter to half of that building up with those magazines. I think most of it looks like powder residue inside. It's right near the front lip of the feed rail. Oh, you mean as far as what you're seeing in the way I did, you want you to look at close inspection. Okay, very good. Because there's dust all over all of them. Yeah. You'll see like a white patima, like a little bit of a, you know, it's usual. It's the dust ages. It went down to Mexico, and the company, the wholesaler that these all come from, and the gas masks are all gone. which is why I've been telling everybody buy them, buy them, buy them, you're never going to seem any cheaper than now. And while we quit, because I bought those for 50 cents a piece when they first came in. That's what they were going for. And I've got no, I've got no complaints about the, uh, the AKs. It's the AKs we're worried about. And that's where I'm going to find out. We need to find out where those came from too, because of course they aren't importers. They may have made a deal and they took what they could and as is but when you do disassemble it might be willing to, like I said Beth, either you're going to have a line of abrasion around the edge of the follower or you're going to have a straight like almost looks like a little music video sine wave along the base from the bottom of the follower up through the center and that area will have been abrased from use where the magazine follower goes up and down it was left oxidized and when we say rust it doesn't have to be big flaky rust doesn't take a whole lot for it to lock something together just because you don't want to beat on them either. That's what everybody you know it's like man it's a fine it's a it's not a fine piece of machinery but it's a piece of machinery and we know better than to beat on stuff. Okay so number one saturate it with a lubricant with a penetrating oil a good one just a little bit it'll take much and then take a wooden dowel if you want you can even take a one of the things I've done is taken a one by three and sand it down so you create a uniform striking face on the follower you can sand it and sculpt it will be just enough energy to break that lock free and then tap it a little more to get it to move and then have you ever got the springs out of these? No I mean I took two of them apart and then I'm going to have to do exactly what you recommend I'm just going to have to soak them in penetrating oil because I was only able to get one mag apart and the rest of them are I pulled the spring out and it just kind of like stuck in it. It's like, well, don't want to pull that too hard. Right. Yeah, you want to wait until you get it out the rest of the way and then apply lubricant to the other end too because the springs do nothing but loosely face on the follower, but that means that mag was obviously sitting upside down. You're built up with the mag inside of the follower inside and that spring is, you know, oxidized in a little bit. Or, now there are some that have hangers. that you won't be until you get out are depending on the one who won't have a hair on the uh... on the uh... the follow-up okay have actually hooked into the the follow-up yeah and that's the and nowadays because he's mags have had twenty or thirty different owners you'll have anywhere from you know every every manufacturer on the planet comes together we're going to work with the pirate the Somalia or the army of bratislava you know depending on who we're backing in the way of uh... you know the is the villagers of the village for the moment And so these mags all come together and it can be from every country on the planet that ever made an AK mag. That's the other thing. You might see a standard type in general. It can be from Bulgaria, Romania, China, those AK mags that are steel. They've gone out around the world and I won't be surprised to see those coming back to the surplus down the road. We have millions of them out too. It's not just the eastern block that sent out AK mags. That's one of the other things to watch for is types and variants. Sometimes they're actually even stamped. Most of the times, one thing about AK mags is that they really don't offer a whole lot of information on where they came from. You have to virtually look at the construction and evaluate it based upon reference in cars design. They could be from anywhere too. And even from, they could be battlefield pickups from Somalia. You never know about it, but we really aren't. Anyway, what else you'll put up there? The mag pouches look good? Yeah, mag pouches look good. I also got a couple of the AR-15, the 30 round steel. And those end up being manufactured by Colt. Those are nice looking mags. So other than that, I mean, my only gripe was the AKs. But just wanted to give a... And also maybe even ask, just to see what kind of a hesitation you get when you're dealing with a lot of the surplus ones that are coming into the country right now then. A lot of times these companies buy all from the same place. That's why I know the products. And if one guy got them, he's not the only one that got them. You weren't supposed to know about that. Oh man. Well, appreciate that. Anything else? That's it Mark, thanks, I'll drop off, have a nice day, I'll talk to you guys soon. Thank you sir, appreciate the feedback. I'm timely feedback to you, so we are at the bottom of the R and R. Ah, here's that train showing up, we ain't jumping on that long black train.

Looking at a couple of solutions here. By the way, I mentioned this storage, especially volume storage, guys. For everybody out there, most ammo cans are running $29, $30, $40 for the really big ones. Coleman's.com, Coleman's.com, Coleman's.com, if you're within driving distances, the Mortar ammo can, M120 slash M121, $9.95 a piece. These are the M120 dash M121 cans. They're 32 inches deep. eleven inches by six inches in terms of upper dimension top dimension now one thing to think about what do you have this thirty two inches if you're building up a five ten program you want to store things in a real like a remote location if you were taken air fifteen and you were to top of the pins but put that and if you were to take uh... couple of battle for two to three ammunition in the it fit right in there with the rifle would make In fact, not only that, but you could probably stick in a Zola, a couple of year 15, Mollie Bandoliers from any one of the different sources that are the cheapest. And each one of those could have six mags in it, and it would fit right into that can too. In fact, you'd still have enough room for probably a little bag pack that you could roll up tight and you could pack the thing full of all kinds of other gear and equipment or material until it's full. And you have an air retreat where it could be secure, you could have the weapon lubricated, sealed up in its own bag to begin with, its own grease. Everything you need there, including solvents, all the other support equipment, bags, everything so that's, you know, again, kept from being compromised. But you could actually have an entire pod in a can that costs $9.95 and is designed for, well, keeping mortar rounds safe. That might be a solution. Anyway, we have a caller. Who do we have? Callers, jump in there, please. on the ground there in texas way uh... i don't know that much i don't want the local news but i wanted to call back and give you that info and this is one bookstore all time other books and again for everybody out there the lindsay publications i know that he i believe we go to his page i have not had a chance but some of our people who have the link to the went to it now also did mention that he was you know again retiring i've got believe is what the comment was but he's already retired and I got a little email talking about how he's going to retire at this date and then start buying a bunch of books but nobody did and he got tired of waiting for everybody to wait till the last minute and then he just sold. Now for everybody out there listening again we specialize in Lindsay's now and that big pile of books I know that he sold a lot of stuff out and didn't necessarily reprint right away but for everybody listening I highly recommend that you go price list massive amount of information that he collected. As you can see by the listing off to the side here, let's see Save on the Series, let's see Aircraft, Alcohol and Soda Pop. Woo hoo, we're all of you out there interested in making a business up after the collapse. Boats, Boilermakers, Boys Books, Charcoal, Chemistry, Coffin Making, Drilling, Electricity, Electroplating and Electroplating, there you go. Engines, Gear, Hand Scraping. Hands scraping forgive me Has Lux work handbook series inject that handle scraping book is pretty good machine shop machine works at magazine projects Magnetism mechanics metalworking materials and techniques engine model engineering full-time machinists phonograph photography miscellaneous power sources radio science experiments screw cutting which by the way is one of the one of them that I would highly prioritize. The screw cutting series, yes. Thing you can on that, that is something everybody is, everybody's assuming the nuts and bolts are always gonna be there guys. And it used to be when I went in a machine shop, that was one of the first things that we did. When we did one of our little projects, or when we started doing a project, I just did a box, you know, a simple toolbox. Every part on the toolbox was made by hand. and we did not use any off-the-shelf nuts or bolts to do the work. Our own square plate nuts, we made a made amount of stock, iron stock. We threaded the stock that we had, slotted or we made standard box. There were a number of different techniques we were taught and when you were done you ended up with a simple little toolbox which I still have out in the garage to this day. And because it was built like a brick-dog house, not fancy but it does one thing and it does one thing really well. So that's one of those that really needs to be put into the inventory because crew cutting, threading, and any of the worm gears or any of the drive gears and work you're going to be needing to do in the future, guys that have the basic working knowledge on the shelf, the more we diversify our libraries and the more we spread the information out, the less likely it will be lost. Plus a book on telephony. They have some good machine shot books too. 20s that they reprinted into a hardback and it was a very good binding because as a kid in high school I wrote a print shop and it was good binding. This book was not cheaply thrown together. And again for shop equipment, actually every subject you can imagine, guys a highly-made book, eventually manufacturing, babbitt-bearing techniques. The list is long, long, long, long, long. And so for whatever your area, your forte, your area of interest, you definitely will find something that's useful here. And especially if you're looking to back up your archaic technologies inventory. And some of it goes way back. Some of it simply goes back to the last century of the industrial age. The technology is not truly outdated by any stretch of the imagination. computer on the planet, our brains, we can do anything that all these other machines are mimicking. And again, understanding how to do it in steps. Have a machine set up, it does one step. Have another, it does another step. Step by step, you end up with a final product. And the idea is to simplify so that you minimize the number of steps to final production. That's the key to success. Minimize production steps to maximize production. One other thing real quick. You know, for everywhere normal weather but they've been having pretty cold weather out here in Austin. They've been actually shutting down the freeway, turned on old TV channels and was get to the news to see if we're gonna close. Just went by this channel, I don't even know what it was, watched it for maybe a minute was a man, you know like in a movie, like almost like it was an altar and talking about how he was trying to raise the debt they're putting out as a TV about the branch of idioms wait long enough and you can throw any proceed the logic is how many years has it been we don't know we're past the twentieth anniversary of the attack on the branch of idioms and one of the things that gets me about this is uh... having talked first first-hand first-person pretty much all the survivors uh... that subject is in total fiction with regard to the shysters what they're pulling out of their arse just again if they wait long enough you see this what i've talked about specially with the shyster media One of the things that I see is that, especially the Kambalas, they pulled this stuff out of their arse and incorporated it into their holly weird BS and people just in their stupification or through ignorance and stupidity. That's what gets me about this. I believe that this is really what's happened with regard to the askew or twist of history. The deeper it is into the depths of time, the more they can baffle everybody with BS. And you're seeing a modern variation on that with what you're talking about right now. Anyway, I heard another caller and I just wanted to mainly give you that information on the books. uh... boom boom with regard firearms all right well i got around they're pretty good that we have a recall or call or jump in their police yeah roughly not uh... children jefferson here we go sir our things out there in the on the left side of the country well cold and kind of wet but uh... he's taken care of so that we're ready when the time comes pay off perhaps now whatever i could apply these either their treasure real handy what is how to create If you don't have a large, true-to-ways, a critical man with a thing that looks like a triangular-file mini-key, fresh and blue or soot, to get your high spots, and you just take off a few thousandths at a time in a little hook shape form. And a buddy of mine used to do him a born ship when in his division they'd have a... And he'd just get in there and they'd bring him a couple hours. He'd have that suck order, so like nobody's busy. Right, one of the things with hand tooling, which is by the way, now that goes all the way back to original machinists when they were brought into the trade. Originally back, say, we'll go back to the American War for Independence, the Revolutionary War. Back during that day, a machinist built his tools by hand. And that was part of his apprenticeship, yeah. That's how they learned the iron mongering, but then also learned the trade of finish work. where the machinists and the, again, like you said, the blacksmith came into play, those individuals were taught to build by hand. Now we're fortunate we have all kinds of technology to build on. The scraping technique was how they created their leveling blocks. What they did, though, what you're describing, and again, a straight line tool was done using a sun dial up. They actually would use the sun off an object, and that would create their straight edge. because they needed to have a common straight edge that they could use. And the sun is consistent. The shadow is consistent. Now, for the moment that you need it, as you benchmark it with a guideline, cut that to create your... You're gonna use that leveling tool to master all of the rest of the machinery or metalworking you were doing. So, yeah, appreciate bringing that up, because you see, everybody thinks, well, that's old technology. Did something else that was onboard ship, an isolated environment where you had to make work with what That was it. You're 2,000 miles from the nearest port and you got ships coming alongside. You need repair. If you needed to put it in, go fabricate that part. You were talking about the sand casting. It was a scuba diver. And I couldn't afford other photography. Okay, it was too expensive. I was 17 years old, 16. So I took beer cans and cast them down. Blacksmithic, a rectangular housing, machined off in a waste at all. hand threaded everything, made the glands, cast the handles. It was all made out of beer cans and strep aluminum. I think of the whole run by the time I bought fasteners and a plexiglass and some neoprene for gas. It's just stuck, the whole thing cost me about $8. Well, one of the things to point out there, you got another issue that we need to remind everybody of guys, we don't send scrap out that is critical component material. I don't get rid of copper in them. Any aluminum pans, any aluminum can, aluminum foundry. We can do aluminum, have foundry, but everything goes there from standby. Another, piling it up. It's not going anyplace. It goes into a bin that he has already set up. Anything that's fractured, anything that's crushed or bent out of the way of aluminum can be made. You can make a can crusher, crush it down, throw it in the hopper. Time comes, that all goes, gets shoveled in. Of course, you can hammer it and ship it a little bit too if you want to. You can certainly take any non-aluminum components off, cut them off, break them off, whatever you have to do. Example is like pot handles. standoff plastic that's used to bring a prevention from burning your hands on a pot lid. I'm panhandle that needs to come off before it goes to the kiln. You can burn it off but why burn why waste that energy when you can call it before it goes into the foundry. Talking about here we can build it guys. You want to reinvent the wheel somebody else already figured out how to do it was doing it for a living on top of everything else. Real quick on these Lindsay books and other thing they've got there and this is a book that again I didn't think you had any of these left over. uh... the voice of the crystal how to build a working radio receiver car but i'll build working radio receiver components are really from scratch for radio before and you need to be working at this is a good starter uh... starter project for the homeschoolers are listening out there this is an excellent solution in that direction teamwork casting paid those can all be homeschooling projects to guys Everybody needs to learn. At some point you've got to learn to make all this stuff work. And you need to start again from the basics. So here's an opportunity. You've got the structured material and information in text form. You can pull on that and use it to a particular task. Everything from photography, ultralight aircraft to, well, you name it. And the reason I bring it up is because a lot of the aluminum and or sand casting for making components for stuff that you may want to apply or you may want to drive. uh... we can build the components from scratch if need be adjusted for the moment it's not as economical because our time is distracted into other things and you know that well to jump off out there on the left coast of the editing has been uh... up as a flagger unique that we need to know about well i heard of program i listened to the local indians station here the indiginous people and you know the uh... what was the last year the air before side into the u-n this uh... you're the woman Under that UN proclamation, they want to end all domestic abuse in indigenous people. So this is worldwide. The thing that intrigued me was how completely some of these indigenous people are buying into it, especially the women. And it's just another way of the UN coming through society from every way they can. The indigenous peoples are starting to buy into it. That's kind of a scary thought. Well, the idea behind that is, again, the sugar daddy coming in from the side like that with the... Before it was, they would tell you how evil it was when we were helping out or we were doing what we were doing with the native population years ago. But then what they do is they shift it up to the international, copy it in some other flowery language, doing the exact same thing, but that's okay. It's fascinating, there's always these leftists, these liberals that are doing this BS, and it's the idea is to undermine. They would tell you how we want to let all of these people, you know, live in their own lifestyle and in their own way, and we're not going to interfere with them until you're stupid enough to cow down to us. The point, one of the things that really involves me is the vulnerability of the execution. Well, I'll tell you what, Stay with us and we'll bring you right back up when we come back to the third hour because we are at the top of the hour. You could have closed with me. God bless the Republic. Death is a new world order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We're in a march. We'll be back just a little bit. Grab that next cup of coffee and the third hour coming up here on the micro effect. It's Thursday. This is the Phyllis Schlafly reports from Eagle Forum. Mrs. Schlafly is a constitutional attorney, pro-family leader, and the author of more than 20 books, including No Higher Power, Obama's War on Religious Freedom, an important new book that exposes the undeniable campaign to secularize America by the Obama administration. And now, here's the president of Eagle Forum, Phyllis Schlafly. Let's talk some more about the incredible cost of what we call welfare and the fact that it certainly does not go only to the unemployed. It goes to workers whose wages are below a government designated figure that is supposed to identify poverty. 17 years after Bill Clinton said, we are ending welfare as we know it. Welfare spending as a percentage of our national output has nearly doubled from 2.2% of gross national product in 1989 to 4.3% last year. People who earn wages near the poverty level supplement their incomes with a long list of federal benefits, including food stamps, Medicaid, child care, and cash wage subsidies, plus school lunch and even breakfast for their kids. Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation, the country's expert on welfare statistics, has concluded that since the beginning of the war on poverty, government has spent $19 trillion on means-tested welfare. In comparison, the cost of all military wars in U.S. history, from the Revolutionary War to the current war in Afghanistan, has been $7 trillion. The war on poverty has cost three times as much as all other wars combined. Welfare pays more than a minimum wage job in 35 states, and remember welfare benefits are tax-free, so their dollar value is even greater. The EITC is full of all sorts of fraud. The Treasury reported that $110 billion in EITC payments were given out during the past decade to people who were not qualified. Legislation to raise the minimum wage would raise many low wage earners above the income threshold that qualifies them for benefits and thus ought to result in reduced welfare spending.
