For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press. And you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken 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 seize the family farm. and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children will be born. 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 what you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the supreme law of the land. Preserve our great Republic in each God-given right. And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As Iooke 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 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 if he called out from the grave? Is this... DIL the land of the free. And all of you listeners, I had the nicest thing happen to me yesterday. As you gentlemen were doing the morning intelligence report there that last hour, I ran into town to the grocery store. And in the checkout lane, I got paid high compliment. Lady there was like, my son listens to your husband. He says, well, he listened to me for about an hour this morning. because I had stepped in, Mark asked me to step in and talk a little bit about the psychotropic drugs. We had a caller that was a retiree from Eli Lilly at the time and she said, you know, you guys keep up the good work. You and your husband both. You're doing a great service. And I've never had that happen in the city here other than with patriots. This is just a local housewife. So to me that was a great compliment. We out there were still making a contribution and waking people up that before were perhaps not staunch people against us. But at the same time they weren't for us either. And that the local populace was waking up and seeing what's going on. and beginning to understand a little bit about why we do what we do is a good thing. So I wanted to share that with you and with our listeners. We are making an effect, woohoo, even in this very liberal neck of the woods. So thanks for all that you do, Don, because honestly when Mark was gone I could not have carried on and done everything that we continue to do without your help and your support from, goodness, four and a half hours drive away, you and your wife's patience with me. calling at all hours to touch base with you and make sure that we're on the same page. So I appreciate that. And there's so many times when things like this happen and it's just kind of up in the air and you've got to change things on the fly. So... It's like the best laid plans every general knows. As soon as you lay a plan and put it into action, you need plan B and C and D. Right. Yeah, you gotta be ready to put you gotta stay the course. Yeah. Yeah stay in there and get things done and it's Goodness. Hide to the wheelhouse so to speak There's a storm coming. That's one way to see it, you know. Yeah. Lash yourself to the wheel because things are gonna get rough. Yeah, and it's it's fun again. I've experienced that too and it's a it's a it's a good it's a It's a warm feeling to get that gratefulness expressed. It is. It doesn't happen often. We get folks in the chat room and regulars that are calling to the program. But when you get into your local community, especially when you live in a neighborhood like this, where you've got so many flaming liberals, yeah. It's a pleasure to hear the response, to know that you're making an effect at home as well. It's out there in cyberspace somewhere. So yeah, that was way cool. Let me throw in here one thing. You guys, I've put this on here before. When I was a youngster, before I got my first C card, my certification dive certification at 14, I was a certified diver at 14. I still brag about that because I wanted it so bad. But before that, I was a snorkeller. In the timeframe from about 11 years old to prior to that 14, I was just at the right place, right time. There's a little kid over there who needs some help. I saved three children's lives. my nephew in my pool so that hardly counts because his father was right behind me. It would have mattered not had I not been there, you know? But there's no feeling like that. No. You can't... I couldn't imagine... I have no experience with heroin. They say heroin is a one-time hook. It must be such a good feeling. But, you know, sex, drugs, and rockers, there ain't no feeling like that saving a child's life. I had that experience when I was young. That was a gift from God. It really was. Maybe it's one of the reasons why I stand in here. Maybe it really is because, you know, that person that thanked you, no doubt in their mind somewhere, it's, you're doing this for me, you're doing this for my children. Well, this is the lady that's been in the community for many years. I work at the local grocery store. I have here downtown and she's been a customer of mine for 35 years now. This is the first time she's ever said anything. I know why I'm sorry. It just hits home. It's like, oh, okay, good. Thank you. I know I make effect out there for other people. I've stepped in and I've helped people that have been in bad situations that are fighting the government in their state, in their town, in their municipality. Many, many hundreds, if not thousands of miles away. But to know that I'm making an impact right here with people that I know, it makes them more tangible, I guess. Going back to that, ain't no feeling like it. Somebody called in to the hour a number of years ago, and he's listening right now, I'm pretty certain. And he called in and talked about, he was, you know, he'd been a tough guy all his life. He'd been in fights and this and that. By listening to the intelligence report one day after, and listening to Mark and Don, you know, one day he decided, well, I think I better find God. That same feeling right there. Yep. And he knows, and you guys heard it on the air if you've been listening for a while. You heard it. There are reasons why we do this. That's it. I know who you're talking about. He comes and visits me regularly. He makes a trip from where he lives to come out and say hi. We don't have to mention any names. It's like the Centurion. You don't have to come to my house. All you have to do is say so. Oh my goodness. But yeah, it was gratifying. But, you know, that aside, for a thank you, that's not what we do it for. What we do it for is to be there to help people. And that's our mission here. We help our fellow Americans. to wake you up and be aware of what dangers are around you. Because if you are not aware, you cannot prepare for them. And there are many that are out there. So it's to be on board and be alert not only for yourself but for your family to prepare for the future. We have many in this nation. We used to be called survivalists. Now they're calling us preppers. I grew up as a prepper because my parents grew up during the Depression. When that happened from 1929 to 1930, it slipped through that time from fall to spring. Everything dried up. There was nothing there. We were talking about this last hour about the gentleman that called in with the trucker. There's beef everywhere, but there's a shortage here in the marketplace and you're paying a premium price. Where is that beef going? It's going overseas because they're buying it overseas because their devaluation of our dollar has been so high. It's actually cheaper to raise a cow here, kill it, or put it whole, kill it, and send it overseas. It's actually cheaper on that for the valueless dollar. Right. When they're talking about slaughtering it here, freezing it, sending it to China, having them process it there and ship it back, it's not going to be cheaper. We're seeing our... Just look at your clothing prices. Okay, and I realize not all of that is in the actual production class but in shipping class. But even the shipping has decreased so much for the importation of a product into the United States. And this is something you want to talk about. It's Weapons Wednesday folks and this is something that you need to think about. Cottage industry, being able Not necessarily to sell from your home, but being able to make your own cloth. Whether you're raising flax and turning flax into linen in the north, that's certainly more viable than trying to do cotton. Or you can only raise that in the south. It is a hot climate product. Flax is not. Hemp is not, but these are things that can be grown and turned into clothing, cloth goods, even into paper. Being able, it's going to get to that point. I'm looking now at Some of the clothing manufacturers, all we had left 10 years ago for clothing industry in this nation was t-shirt factories and those are clothing down. The mills that made the cloth to be made into clothing have left the nation now. They've been turned into condos. Right. Condos will not clothe anyone. Right. The mill and store, oh my gosh, you used to be able to, you know, write away, write to the companies and get swatches of the end runs of cloth that were a quarter to one yard lengths for two bucks. You could get a whole box full and you make quilts this way. I got a number of things when the children were small, send away for that so I could make shirts for them. I would make their clothing. but t-shirts, I can make their t-shirts all day long with stuff that I would get from the mail end for a couple of bucks through the mail out of Texas. I knew it was Eagle Mills in Texas there. That was the name of it, Eagle Mills. And you sent away for a box of scraps, basically. They're scraps, but it was enough, small enough pieces, they were big enough that I could make shirts. I could mix and match colors for sleeves during the time when the sleeves were solid or striped and the base was a matching color. But I did that and made their clothes on the cheap. And this is stuff that you can still do today, but making things, however, the mills are no longer here. They're overseas. So for you to, you know, contact this mill or that mill to get the in lot so that you can create things for your family. It's going to be hard. You're going to have to send out of the country to do that now. You're talking about international purchasing and that gets to be problematic. What's the problem with something like this? Look at Ding Mao. He wants to send a sample. That's the problem. $42 shipping. Yeah, and that's it. The shipping will be three times as much as what the product is worth. Yeah. And you know, being able to take little swatches and be able to do this and that. Now, you know, you see making little booties and stuff out of these little end pieces. But gosh, I mean, I saved a lot of money on their clothing growing up by being able to do stuff like that. Sent to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania for notions, buttons and zippers and, oh gosh, laces, you know, to embellish the clothing that I was making. I know there's a lot of stuff that I could get very, very cheaply and to be able to make what few dollars we had stretch. And these are kind of industry things. You can do them. You can actually turn around and make them and sell them locally at your farmer's market, be it kitchen items or whatever, for a little extra income on the side. But even now with the, There are so many rules and regulations and codes and whatnot that you have to adhere to there. It's crazy. It's crazy the regulatory system that has jumped into place in these arenas where it used to be a place where you could go and you could make a few extra bucks to help get by and help save for things that you wanted to buy for your family to take care of and it's getting harder and harder to do these kinds of things. It's just crazy. It's crazy. But these things are, they're possible to do and to be able to know how to do them, to take care of your family and be self-sufficient. Being able to card and create your own clothing. It's an old world technology, but one that we may need to get into to secure our home, our families. By golly, if you get good enough at it, be able to sell the excess to at the farmers market or into business. I mean there are those that have done so and it can certainly be a way for us to maintain not only our families, our communities, and our way of life. It's just another cartridge in the box, so to speak. The inch to a mile thought on this, and we might have some callers waiting, but is There are those that say if things if we don't have electricity will be cavemen will go but well gee you won't be it Let's do it like this if you don't have access to a generator that you know even Generators have to have things in them if you want to run your computer to smooth out the waves So your computer doesn't like surf all over at any rate if you don't have electricity Oh my gosh, we're gonna be cavemen. You're only cavemen if you're sitting around doing nothing that's civilized as momentarily described like making fabric or because you can sit and panic you can sit and say I'm a caveman there cavemen did nothing no cavemen by the saber-tooth tiger if he did nothing well keeping it was you know lead follower get out of the way and nothing is to to take charge this goes over to and you've you've I'm sorry. No, go ahead. This goes over to the thought line and you've heard it said on this hour before, you know, the more you can do for yourself, the more independent you are, but the more you can do for yourself, the more you can do for other people, the more valuable you will be to the caveman. I hate to relate it like that for the person who, I can't do this, I don't know how to do that. Show them once. show them again and if they haven't learned by the third time, you know, Mark has brought up the thought line where medics, you know, corpsmen who are basically real good at applying tourniquets or the blood clotting agents or telling a man, we'll get you out of it. And maybe that's the last thing he hears. Mark was talking about a surgeon teaching corpsmen how to do appendectomies. Right. They said watch, watch again, and then they would do it, being over watched. And then they do it all by themselves so that the surgeon could go on to more important things like saving lives instead of doing a standard appendectomy. You know, just slide that over a little bit to what Nancy was talking about. You know, that's pretty standard. If there's nothing coming into the country and the mills are down, that's pretty standard to learn how to weave, you know, how to make cloth. It's pretty standard. Let's go in another direction. This will fit into today. Do you know the basic formula for making even black powder? Most of the stuff is at hand here or there. You kind of dig it up out of the ground. And if you know what it is, Don, do you, even if you know the recipe, do you know what it really is? Because you're talking about most of the time people who know it, they know it as the chemistry book recipe. They don't know the materials that are used to get those from the chemistry book. Right, either in sulfur. Right. Yeah. Yeah, but again, how do you collect saltpeter and how do you collect sulfur? Yeah. Now that's knowledge that you need. Or where it can be obtained. Yeah. How do you solve the problem? And again, the more you know, the more valuable you will be to the people around you, the more help you will be to them. You've heard that said many times on this album. That's correct. It'd be more and more of a generalist. You need to be able to do a little bit of everything. The old adage, many hands make polite work. Well, in this case, knowledgeable hands make for self-plainer work. Yes, even productive work. Because if somebody cannot do the job and attempts the job, many times you're worse off when he takes it all apart and can't put it back together. I have to laugh because we have this one machine that breaks down, I swear. They come out, they repair it, and then with five minutes they've left the building and it breaks down again. And I have threatened to do just that. It's like, you're going to come in one morning and you're going to find this machine. It's going to be broke down. I won't steal it. I won't break it, but I will break it down and they can come back and put it together where it will work right. There you go. I didn't vandalize it, I just assisted them with their basic work program. Yeah, they needed to be taken apart and taken care of. Yep. Well, they've got to replace it now. Hey, you know, once we did a Weapons Wednesday while Mark was in the monastery, you know, Nancy, his words not mine. Sure. We basically did the basic teardown on a 1911. And then when I do that I have to say, God bless John Moses Browning. More and more I have to do that. But we started at the beginning of the hour, go get your 1911 and we'll take it apart. You know, we won't do that today, but you guys, this goes back over. You know, that's no one's fault. We talked about tools earlier in the day about the difference. You know, even a hammer is a tool, an ice pick is a tool. You could hurt somebody pretty bad with an ice pick or a hammer. Same goes with a gun. The right people in the right time can be a blessing instead of a curse. For example, you know, an old dies instead of a whole family. That's a blessing. In fact, you know, let's do it like this. Let's take it because some states are starting to recognize that. Even Michigan, after they created a concealed carry on demand, Michigan created a board to review specifically the shootings from concealed carry people. Now if the shooting is considered justified by this investigative board, independent of the state police and other things, you know what? That crook who got made a leaker, well he might have leaked until there's nothing left to leak, so he might have been wounded or killed, cannot sue you for his doctor bills. If he dies in the commission of this criminal act, that the Michigan Board has reviewed and termed, deemed a justifiable shooting. His, the family of the crook, cannot even sue you because you shot him, you should have shot him in the knee! And no argument like that can come up. You should have shot him in the hand! How come you shot him in the... Huh, you killed him, he was just wanting to steal from you? He was just wanting to take everything you've gotten, perhaps your life? So even some states, Texas is like this now, Florida is like this. And even, let's talk about Florida specifically for the one case back there where that cute little fellow in the hood was shot dead. Well, that was a concealed carry permit there. And that should have never gone to trial. Without you never heard anything about the Florida board investigating that shooting did you that immediately went to trial Oh even the Florida even governments will over procedure if it's not politically correct And again we go back to that let's show them it Let's show these folks a picture this this fellow when he's 12 years old Instead of when he's 18 or 19 and all tatted up and the go to hang it out gangster looking so again you know we talked about media earlier in the day and I was told a long time ago, and it wasn't in such nice words, that you have to sift through a lot of doo-doo. There was another word there before you get to the truth. I hate it when you have to sift through a pound of salt to find the one grain of sand of truth. Yeah. Thanks. You made that a lot more of the same statement a lot prettier. Thank you. I've had to do that with certain individuals that call here with information. I'm to the point now, if I've got to sift that hard to get the truth and sort out all the innuendo, the rumor in what they're telling me, it's not worth my time anymore. I used to do that with them and I don't do it anymore. I've got one person in mind specifically. I don't even take his calls anymore. I refuse to do it. because he does it consistently and comes up with grandiose crazy things. That's another thing altogether. Our time is a commodity and it seems to go by faster and faster as we get older. It just seems to blur. It's a blur. I can't believe we're in June. We're almost to June here, folks. The year's nearly half spent and wow. You know, it'll be a couple more years might I interject a couple more years I've been doing this with mark for 20 years Just in a couple more years you guys yeah, like the blink of an eye It seems that way like a firecracker Mm-hmm. Yep. It just it goes by so quickly so very quickly But to what I was saying To be prepared to be able to We were talking about the book The Patriot and the coming of the collapse and what to do, how to prepare and preppers. Being self-sufficient the more you can do for yourself. If you can spin, if you can card, if you can grow a crop and make clothing from it. To make the fabric, cut the cloth. I mean this sounds like the little red hen story, right? Even if you can reload until you run out of all of the commercially available product that you have, your heads and shoulders above the people who can't. They'll come to you. Hello, dog. Hey. Hey, this is Russ. I was talking to you about putting your night vision on my 12 gauge. Okay. There was a time in America when we prided ourself on being self-sufficient. We knew how to swing an axe and add, we knew how to use a saw, draw knives, spokeshaves. Nowadays, one of the things I came up against trying to teach my children and now my grandchildren is they want power tools. And I keep telling them, power tools are for repeating a process over and over and over again to get a standardized part But what do you do when you need a part you can't obtain? If it's a one-off, that's what you have to live with. That's it. And you know, the history of firearms, you know, you ferment feces with cement, ashes, strong urine, you get salt meter. Okay? These are the things that were lost. They're not really lost, people just don't want to look at it. They don't want the inconvenience. They don't want the odor. They don't want the mess. We have become a generation hooked on 7-11 convenience. Look at the price now. Instant gratification. Yes, ma'am. Yeah, and we're going to debt for 20 years to pay for a house that isn't worth one year's wages. Okay? I'm explaining these things to my kids and they're starting to pick it up. And now my grandson is there over here all the time every day. And we will never listen to Mark and you guys. And my one grandson is always asking questions. What is he talking about grandpa? And I explained it to him. And I have to break it down so he can digest it, sort it out, and order it in his little mind. But we have lost the art, not we. Preppers I think, Basically we want to raise good kids because that's the future. We want to teach them things that will make them survive no matter what the situation. Strike a fire with flint and steel. Showed my grandsons how to use a bow and a drill to make fire. Things like these. How to sharpen a knife. How to sharpen an axe. People don't want to take the time anymore to instruct the generation coming up. You don't have a grinding wheel to sharpen the axe on? I have a disc grinding that I use when I do it real fast. But I use a file and a wet stone. And I can put that edge on a hand axe that you can damn near shave with. Oh yeah, you can use a piece of paper for certain. Certainly. It's the same thing with the machetes and our knives. We make knives. We make our own tomahawks and stuff. They were brought up at rendezvous camping out. All the traditional stuff. Boy Scouts used to do this. They don't anymore. Now they have to be politically correct. They have to allow all the different minority factions into the leadership and they have lost the flavor of being an American. Okay? Yeah. And I got one for you. You're a fan of 1911, so am I. God created man. Samuel Cope made him equal. John Moses Browning created superiority. I like that. You take it, you use the hell out of it, buddy. I like that. I have this fun with my grandkids. We don't do cocoa puffs and that stuff. We do rice or oatmeal. I tell my graders, if you want to be strong as a horse, eat oatmeal. That's right. That's some raisins, different looking brown sugar, and my god, that's dessert. People don't. Recognize the thought that we, you name the centurion, when he talked to Christ, you know, that's one of my favorite passages. He recognized authority. Well, Americans fail to recognize this as an American. We are the authority. We are the authority. Not the government, not all these cock idol institutions that people have given up for convenience sake. We are the authority. And that's a hard one for Americans to wrap their mind around anymore. You try to tell us about sovereignty. Just try... Going to a school board meeting, it was a shock that people realized, they knew it in their head, but they couldn't wrap their mind, as you said, they couldn't wrap their mind about it until someone stood up, myself, and told the superintendent, you don't get it. You work for me. I want an answer by the end of the week. I don't work for you. And they stop and they look and it's like, she's right. They band together and made a committee to make sure that the problem that we were talking about was taken care of. And it happened in short order. You know what it's a false name? I'm quite a bit older than Mark. I've got a whole pile of grandkids for kids. Every once in a while a state trooper will come by and I look at these young kids and my father was a peace officer all my life. Okay? Good man. Best man I ever knew. I look at some of these young kids and when they go to walk away I say, excuse me officer and they'll turn around and they say yes. And I say, does your mother know what you're doing? They say yes. And I said, well, it's a good thing. I hope she's proud of you. There you go. Okay? But I'm appalled by the change that I have seen in my America. Let's get it back. Thank you. And it starts in the home with what you're talking about. The home was a foundation. The home was a foundation. Amen. Right. In the old days on the farms, Mom and Dad were working the fields making soap. Weaving, standing, carding, the whole nine yards. Grandma and Grandpa were in the home. Job was to teach the kids how to read and write, maintain the home because they were too old or whatever. We didn't ship them off to a boneyard somewhere. They were in the homes instructing the children, helping with the housework. The young ladies learned to cook from Grandma or Mama. But those are the things that we have lost and we've lost the flavor of our country. I know Mark has talked about this in the past, a multi-generational home where grandma and grandpa are there and children are not shipped off. They don't get married and move out. They get married and live on the farm somewhere, maybe a separate house, but still there. Everybody helps everybody else out in the family with family farms. Now you have to go to school, you have to get your college degree, and all this other, go out and get a job, and try to get a job, and make it out in the world on your own. Make something of yourself. Right. Well, part of that is make something of yourself. If I ever told my dad I was bored, he had about 100 jobs I could do. Oh yeah. His favorite phrase was, Earn your beans, make yourself productive, get to it. And if you didn't, by God there were consequences, but you know what? We learned. And in a multi-generational home, they get to see the aging process. They get to see the grandpa slowing down. They get to see on the end of life. That goes over to You've heard it said on the hour before, when young men and women turn 18 in this country, we are so removed from the farm, that when a young man or woman turns 18 in this country, they literally, they should be sent down to the slaughterhouse and they should work that electric probe or that air bolt for about a half an hour until they go out and puke. It'll teach them a lot more respect for life. Yeah. Right off the gift. We used to help out some friends who were really poor. They had a fire acre place but they raised all their own corn, they raised their eggs, their chicken, all their poultry. We'd go down and help them slaughter hogs. They did it with a butcher knife, no bolt. They tied off that hog. They cut off the food a day early so the bowels would be clean, lots of water, and they stuck that hog. I can still remember the hog squealer. But in two hours flat, that hog was dressed. We had a big pot fire going. It had been scraped. We cleaned the pot again. In with the Mexican outfit, they made chincharonis, lard, chorizo. They were just all on peppers. That pig was processed, not in a day or two, it was processed in about three hours. We used the intestines, stripped them. Put a hose in there, stripped them. That was the casings for the chorizo and the sausage. There are people that heard that that didn't know it just now. That natural casing folks, that's what that means. Yup, yup. It's like politics and sausage making. Oh my. We have lost so much because everybody's so busy chasing a buck, they forget about their kids. Well, I'll buy the kid this to keep them busy. You'd be better off throwing that wap mat out in the middle of the street and having a carter run over it, buying a handy handy tool set and start teaching it. Yeah, increase that hand-eye coordination. Yes, and who knows, you might really go into a nice wood carver, a cabinet maker. These are the things that have been disappearing in our society and our industry. You know, that everybody wants instant furniture. Cheap. That's why they go to Walmart. Keep losing things for the sake of convenience and it's not convenient when you I mean it's trash It's it's junk. It's nine times and it's pressed. It's pressed sawdust You know that the compressed wood with a plastic coating on it to buy a wood grain coating of plastic. Yeah, it's not real No, it's not real this last Christmas. I had my nine-year-old grandson help me build little wooden tanks Okay, they did them upgrade, black bogies and road wheels and stuff. Made them a couple of wooden guns. Well, they kind of had a big wrong train set. Made them a steam engine, you know, a coal car and flat cars and a caboose and all that. It's all handmade right here in my front row. And they don't really cherish it because they have the Walmart toys to compete against. But my 9 year old grandson came in and said, you know Papa, that plastic stuff don't last. And I said, no it doesn't. You got a good talker truck, find the oil and tape ones that were metal. And anyways, but he's asked because I made him a Thompson out of wood and some aluminum tubing and stuff, a wooden gun. And he abused it. I mean he broke it all the time. I repaired it four times. yesterday he said, you know, why aren't you making me wooden guns anymore? I said, because you don't take care of them. When Hoppe gives you things, I expect you to take care of it. I want to see it last. Maybe you give it to your son. But the comment out of his mouth is those plastic toys are really cheap. Oh, you and I are both old enough to read it. If we got something for Christmas, we were, you know, little puppies and it said made on Japan. It probably did last until the end of the day. Right. How old are you? My next birthday, I'll see 60. Well, I'm 65, so we're in the same vintage and like I told you, my first regulator was two hosapala. Yup. And with that, I'll cease running my gums, okay? Thank you very much. You're welcome. I brought up with pertinent. I tell you, I'm in my country, but I don't like what I'm saying.

Oh my god, miss him around soon as you got them half he stood back and she They never told me. They're good. Let me think of the sheetrock, you know, drywall. It came from China and they installed it into Florida. It rotted all of the copper out of the house. Yeah, right? Houses? Yeah, it was a mess. Well, it not only did that, but it made the people ill. People sick. It sucked the copper out of their bodies. Wow. Yeah. So now you're deficient in blood somehow for certain? Well, copper is vitamin K. It's a blood coagulant. Your natural blood coagulant is vitamin K, which is copper. Well, no matter how you look at it, it looks like these folks are out and other. Yeah, as many ways as possible they throw at us. And even our pets. Even our pets, you're right. Yeah, another, another, I don't give my dog any of that. The dog will go through a tome bag of carrots. Wow, thank you very much. Yeah, God bless and we're getting short on time, but do we have any more callers? Star six will unmute you Doesn't sound like it. Okay, you know what done.

Green screens or thermal. Offer that first generation gun sight at $375 right in your mailbox. So if you're looking in that direction, my number is 231796. Thank you Nancy. I think you're done. It's been a bit of a crazy couple days here, lots and lots and lots of rain. But the things are growing crazy, crazy, crazy. I think it's a grass jump six inches overnight. Seems like it. I know what you mean. No, literally two days ago before the rain we had just cut it and it's a good Oh, six, eight inches tall now. Oh, one thing I would mention, if you're in the Michigan area or if it's across the nation, if they grow in your area, it might be morale time. Oh, yeah. And you guys, I was cutting the lawn the first time the other day. And the reason I mentioned this is I was cutting the lawn the first time the other day. And because I'd let it go and it rained and I'd let it go and it rained and you don't want to cut it when it's wet and I let it finally dry. So it's a little bit tall. I have a push mower. I'm pushing the mower and I'm looking behind it because I'm going real slow. I lock the top off a morel right there in my front yard. Never seen before in my front yard. I look around and I pick a cereal bowl. I filled a cereal bowl with morels right from my front yard. If you see those, my goodness. dried at the grocery store they go like $16, $16, $17 a pound. Yeah, yeah, you can turn that into quick cash at your local restaurant. At any rate keep an eye out for them. Rinse them off in salt water. They're hollow. Rinse the inside too. Sometimes there might be a bug in there. Rinse them out, open a little butter and you can afford it. Well, if you have to fry them up with bologna, it's better than but I'm told they're real good with like, you know, beef, you know, like what's for dinner? Oh yeah. Yeah, it's, they're very tasty. Another one that we see down here in this area is what's called a maitake mushroom. It's a very lacy kind of fungus. But the restaurants down here just, oh boy, this time of year they can't get enough of it. And again, it's a very expensive one for them to purchase. and to get them fresh. They will pay a premium price. So this is another thing that you can do if you know what you're doing to go out there and check with your local restaurateurs to see if it's something they might want to purchase. Yeah. I mean if you have to have those... This is like I said, this is an affluent area. So there are some restaurants that are high end. So you can actually go on the back door and say, hey, look what I got. You want to buy some? Yeah. Watch your eyes get big. Yeah, you have some. Oh my god. Yeah, I think last year they were getting like $32 a pound for the Mytaki. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. And there was like a bushel of them. So yeah, I'll make my day. The other thing about Morell's is You guys, you might look for years and years and never see one. But after you've seen your first one, it's like killing giants. After you've found your first one, Morell, they seem to jump out if they're there. Right. They have a tendency to like orchards too. And there's a lot of orchards here in Michigan. They like the wet wood. Yeah, this was deep wet grass, yeah. But it had dried enough to cut. But keep an eye out for them, you guys. They're tasty. And as pointed out, if you can come up with a substantial amount, it might put some money in your pocket. You could. I think Ethan found two of them just walking through the parking lot. They brought in new mulch. And in that wet mulch, there was a couple that came up. And the two of them, they were a half pound each. Wow. Yeah. I mean, they were big. They were as big as my fist. Wow. Each one of them. Yeah. So, there are ways out there to increase your income if you keep your eyes and ears open. Or just have a tasty snack along with your slice of baloney or your hunk of beef. There you go. Something you can put away. And again, they dry very well. And here they sell as well dry as well as fresh. So it's not something that, yeah, you gotta sell right now, it's the blood of them now. But next fall, there won't be. As always. It's the end of the program, folks. As always, God bless the Republic. Death to the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Cedar! Live 365. Did you know one in three adults is at risk for kidney disease? If you have high blood pressure or diabetes, you could be the one. I was looking in the newspaper and saw an article that said if you have symptoms for kidney disease, you should see your doctor. And I really didn't expect anything because I felt healthy. I didn't worry about my borderline high blood pressure. Turns out it was silently inflicting kidney disease. When you know, it's almost too late. Visit the National Kidney Foundation at kidney.org.
