A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. 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 vie 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 is 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 won't 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 which you'll 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 and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke he'd... What would be your answer if he called out from the grave, to build the land of the free? We could do a number of things. We could tell you it's the... 16th day of June, year of our Lord 2014, and it's been a wonderful day. Actually, the sun was shining. We made like 80 degrees here in the middle of Michigan, something like that. A wonderful day, the 16th day of June 2014. You're tuned to Liberty Tree Radio, broadcasting to all points of the compass and to each and every one of our brothers sisters on and behind the lines in occupied territories. You might be listening on an AM station or an FM station. My hat's off to you short rangers, I call you. Rather than micro broadcasters, the short rangers gives you a kind of a militant bent. So my hat's off to you, you micro broadcasters, also known as the short rangers. You might be listening on Channel 29 on CB. here in the middle of Michigan and spreading across the nation. You know, that should in particular be done along interstates. I know there's some stretches of interstate where there's not a house for 50 miles, so that might be kind of a, you know, stretch of the imagination and beyond true and proper, what, here's that word, demand. But our places where, you know, even a trucker would like a little relief for a while. I think I'll listen to some. Now, you might be listening on Live 365. You might be listening on libertytreeradio.4mg.com. You could be, how about that Indiana Freedom Talk radio? Because if you're listening there, hey Spike, it's off to you too. Again, you guys, 16 June 2014. I'll go out on a little twig here and say, I'm Don Betcher, and we don't have Mark with us yet. Now, I only have a couple of things I want to touch on this evening, and they're not a real great import, but they demonstrate a couple of different things. Let's talk about wheels for a little while. Because if I remember rightly, someone called into the hour recently and said that they bought a car for their mom and it didn't even have a spare tire. Or someone was... Now, I might have been talking to someone that called the house about that. At any rate, we need to drag this forward because a lot of us, your second biggest purchase is your car. You kind of try to keep it on the road. We know that there might be times when, well, you probably ain't going to be able to call Triple A. Sometimes we strive to practice proper English, but you probably ain't going to be able to call Triple A. The road service is going to be horrible even if you own a Mercedes Benz. That's why you don't see a whole lot of Mercedes along the side of the road because if it's like 10 years old or newer, they send out a truck immediately. They don't like to have their product on the side of the road. It looks real bad. Talking again with someone about spare tires, and this thought had crossed my mind. Most of a month ago, I mentioned this to Debbie. And you guys, you've heard the story of my junkyard car. I dragged it home from a junkyard and put another motor in it and the ongoing problems there, but I have a spare car. That means I've got four spare tires. And you know the spare tire in this car is the actual size. It's not one of those dinky little donut thingies that's like pizza cutter tire. You know, don't drive beyond 50 miles. And sometimes you see people on the expressway just, you know, riding down the road at 80 miles on an hour on that tire that's not meant to go 55 for more than 50 miles. and you get on because you've just filled up gas and you pulled and they just run out your gas tank on that skinny little tire. They must be wanting to get someplace in a real hurry and all of those other things. But now, the reason I'm going in this direction you guys on the intelligence report today is some of you might have an externally stored tire. And we've addressed this before. We've talked about taking trucks into the desert and carrying spare tires. We've talked about carrying cans of things like fixed a flat. We've talked about carrying on board compressors, more on that later. Now, I have this one car. It's a mid-90s Saturn. It's a little station wagon. The spare tire is in a well in the floor behind the back seat. So it's inside the car. Again, We've talked about carrying things externally and you know one of the things about the late model Ford van that carries that spare tire Externally it gets stolen a lot Because there are crooks in the world. I was talking with someone about carrying two spare tires in that well two full-size spare tires. Now you roll back the carpet and you know how it works you guys. It's like a lot of trunks these days that are a lot fancier than they used to be. You used to open up a trunk and you're looking at the outside fender well on the inside only it might have some rust proofing on it. Well, the Europeans stepped up and then the Americans had to match that. Now you've got trunks that look like little Japanese motel rooms. No joke there. You could sleep in there and you could rent it to three Japanese. At any rate, you roll back that car but you lift up that fiber board and you're looking at your spare tire. Now how much do you move in your car? And granted, if things get bad and you have to exit stage left in your car, that trunk might be full. And even if it's a nice car, well you might be, you know, piling stuff onto it, you know, tying stuff externally. But I looked at that spare tire well and I looked out there at the other car and I'm going to deflate the tire. tire in the spare tire well, a full-size tire. Then I'm going to deflate another tire and then I'm going to lift that fiber board right out of there and I'm going to put that other tire there and then I'm going to take that fiber board and cut a circle in it so it fits right around that top tire. and contains it so it doesn't slide around. And then I'm going to take that portion of the fiberboard and cut a smaller circle out of it so it fits right in that little indentation around the circumference of the wheel, the steel portion of the wheel. And then I'm going to get out my trusty heater and I'm going to heat the backside of that carpet and form that carpet until it is a little round mound. Flat on the top. It appears as if, well, there's nothing under there but a spare top. which would be true. Now if you let the air out of both tires, what's the point of carrying a spare tire? One might have asked in the crowd there. Well we did mention earlier those little portable plug-in to your cigarette lighter compressed. You know some cars, they don't even have a spare tire, that's what they give you. The new Corvette doesn't come with a spare tire, it comes with the run flat tires. A number of cars are coming with run flat tires now. It's almost like a NASCAR tire, it has an inner tire. The sidewall is so short and so stiff that you can run it for a while, not at full speed until you get some place to have it repaired. There's two different ways on that. The sidewall variant is good, but it's not real good at speed. Now, back to those two tires in the one-tire pit, in the one-tire well. Smaller, don't they? As far as stacking two tires, you let the air out until they're rim to rim. You bolt that to the bottom of the well with that bar that hooks into the bottom of the well. you cover all of that up over there on the side of the well which is pretty big you put one of those pressers that pump that plug into your cigarette lighter now you might wonder why I'm talking about this but you guys if you're fleeing an area and you come to a place where you get one flat tire you might run over so much junk in the road that you get a flat tire and back on the same side of the car and now here's a way to carry two spares full-size space and just a little more of where you used to carry a single. And if it's in the trunk of your car, granted you've got to dig all of that stuff out to get to your spares. We've all done that, or many of us have done that before. But we've talked about preparation, and this is just another thing to be ready for. If you have to get in a car and exit stage left, it would be good to have a couple of spares. We've addressed this before. Now, I just thought I'd bring that up because, you know, One of the things, it would be good, you know, your son knows how to change a tire, doesn't he? You've taught him that. Have you taught your daughter? You know, if your son is changing a tire on the side of the road, that's no big deal. If somebody stops, you'd probably whack him on top of the head with a tire iron, if need be, you know. But if your daughter is on the side of the road trying to figure out how to change a tire. and the road service is lousy, someone might just come along and take advantage of her in many different ways and forms. So again, if you taught your daughter how to change a tire just to pull herself out of an emergency, just a thought line there. I thought I'd do that. It's much like teaching your daughter to shoot, isn't it? I wouldn't tell my daughter that she could grow up to be president, but you know, and I don't do that to disrespect women at all. Don't get me wrong. It's just the place is so fixed, it looks like Hillary's going to be the next president. But now let's shift gears here a little bit. I still want to talk about wheels here. And if you can carry before we shove that project, we push it off the dock. If you can carry two spares, it is better than carrying one. And if you can carry it where it's almost unnoticeable, before we move away from that, because I told you I'd mention more about that plug into your cigarette lighter compressor. If you just toss it into that little bay where the spare be and let it rattle around, odds are it's not going to work when you need it. A number of car manufacturers aren't providing, touched on that, they'll give you one of these compressors. Many times you try to use that compressor and it's failed because it's just rattled around for so many miles. Can you say bubble wrap? We know that will induce different frequency. But you know what, if you have one of these in your car, it's frequency as far as the road shakes. If you have one of those little plug-in to your cigarette lighter portable compressors in your car and you're depending on it, it would be good to, much like you check the air in your tires, plug that compressor in. Even if you don't have to put air in your tires, make certain that what you count on will work for you when it is needed. Broad brush statement there, that we can apply that even to something so mundane as a tire inflation device. But that's across the board. This is why you keep your gun clean, isn't it? So when you need it, you're pretty certain that it's going to work. This is why on occasion we'll go to a range or we'll go, seek you, radio check. We're just making certain that things work. Now, a bunch of things we really can't get a handle on, like to make certain they work, like the mainstream media. You know, they're in their control until, well, they're kind of, what was that phrase that that old Indian used? Bubbed out. until they're rubbed out, until they're no longer, until their power is taken from them. That's a funny thing too. It's like growing up to be president because there's a commercial about children. What do you want to be when you grow up? And this one kid says, this one young man says, I want to be a media mogul. I want to influence the world. Well, you better have more than two nickels in your pocket to rub together. And you better be beyond extremely ambitious. to the point of it's not so much ambitious, it's just vicious. Change gears here ever so slightly, still talk about wheels, still talk about the media. Because we've pointed out things over the years that the media has covered and that the media hasn't. We've talked about that, we just went by that big holiday, what was it a couple weeks ago, that memorial weekend, and people sat and watched those guys go 500 miles around that racetrack, 500 miles to nowhere, they're still on the racetrack when they're done with that five and they just go round and round and round. Now, that's the highlight of a lot of people's what, memorial holiday? Granted, I sat and watched it too. I haven't watched Indy for years, I gotta admit, I sat and watched it this year. One thing you didn't see any coverage of, and maybe I was missing it, maybe I just didn't look in the right place, but we saw no coverage as far as, you know, Don looking at the evening news now and then and trying to pay attention to it in case, you know, California slides into the sea or Florida sinks or, you know, the guy in charge grows another half of a brain. They haven't mentioned anything about Rolling Thunder at all this year. They avoided it, Don, like the plague. Okay, let's do it like this, because we've brought this to your attention before. You see some fine art in the Western world. There is some fine art in the Eastern world, too, that is just white rice paper with ink on it. And many times, the philosophy there, when that man picks up that pen, that quill, that to put ink to paper, what is not on the paper is as important to him as what is. A musician would call that null space. A discerning American would look at the mainstream media and call it what it is. a lie by omission. Now that's a lot different than void, space, music or in art. But again, that just hit me today Mark. I'm sitting here thinking about where was the coverage for Rolling Thunder? You didn't see one image of a biker in Washington this year, nor did we see anything about, wasn't there supposed to be a march over that weekend? Am I wrong about that time frame? We didn't see anything out of Washington but the Navy band doing John Phillips. Mark, I yield to you, sir. That's okay. I just wondered if you stepped away for a moment. Okay, go ahead. You're going to jump away? No, I thought I just yield to you. Get your thoughts. Okay, a couple things here real quick. Number one, you were talking about spares earlier. Guys, For tactical and for retreat vehicles, we've mentioned this time and again, and I would go so far as to say something I've noticed I haven't seen with people who use bikes. Now granted, they use Spares, you know, they got spare tires guys if you have a trailer well, let me give you a piece of history Look at German trike bikes in World War two trike bikes mark. Yeah, yeah motorcycles with sidecars by the way the German ones Contrary to what you're you know what you see with the homemade ones here the German motorcycles though that Outboard wheel was a drive wheel number one But when you notice they were going cross country in the initial battles in the beginning of the war especially, if you looked at how the bikes were kitted out, you'll notice that not only did they have spare tires, but in some cases they had two spare tires on the back end on a bit of a beveled angle to the back of the, because that's the way the back of the sidecars are, you'll have two spare tires, a fuel can and rider bags, just like you have on motorcycles today guys. The whole thing is kitted out, but here's the key. Two spare rims. Not just the tires, two spare complete rims. Now the front tire takes the most abuse because it hits all the bumps first. The rear tire kind of glides along, but that front tire, you've got force torque going forward to those pickle forks up front. And that has a tendency to create a little bit of impact thrust when you bounce on something and you don't do it at quite the right angle. In other words, if it's too abrupt an angle like 90 degrees, even if it's just a curb, curbing enough speed is not going to be a little bump. It's going to be an old, there goes the rim, okay? Along with other objects. Not to mention, the other thing Dom pointed out is nails, debris. Spare tires, spare inner tubes will handle that or patch kits will help with that. Remember that damage to the rim and you're out of luck. Well you're going to be kabunk, kabunk, kabunk walking the bike along if it's a bicycle. If it's a motorcycle, not so much. OK? So since a lot of these people are pushing the trailers and you have that room on the back of the trailer, you make up an arc type frame with a couple of stanchion points crossed horizontally from left to right. mount your spare bicycle frame, you know, full rim and tire there. Now it would behoove you, if at all possible, to try and make it so that, and I know this makes the tires on the rear bigger, not a problem kids, switch out that trailer tire, that trailer rim to the same rim that you have on the front of your bike. parts interchangeability. Yep, exactly. We need to be thinking this way or if you're going to build a trailer, here's the other thing, a lot of guys are building and taking junk bikes, breaking out the cut off bars and the, you know, cut off, you know, saws and the torches and they're making a much more resilient rear trailer for their bicycle. In fact, it would be heavy enough to go behind a little bike if no motorcycle, if need be. Those little tires aren't going to go, you know, take up as much heat when the time comes, but they would work. Anyway, the idea is think rickshaw for the rear in terms of the size of the tire and consider matching it up to the size of your front tire and your standard tires on your bike. And then carrying your spare on the back frame of that so everything matches up. Still carry your spares, your inner tubes, still carry your repair kit, your patch kit, you need it. We used to measure how far we go in this country by how many times we had to change flat tires. That's the early days my grandpa used to talk about that when he was in heat we turn to the last century they are from the 19th the 20th When cars first came into play it took 36 tire changes to get from Ann Arbor, Michigan Over to the side over there towards the Zill walkie bridge 36 tire changes. That's how they measured it guys Think about that not in miles how many tire changes how many times you have to change out of tire because the inner tube would go bad on the tire That was before the age of pneumatic. Or I should say that the self-sustaining no-inter tube tire type system. Now here's another thing that's recommended by a lot of people is that you actually go with an inter tube inside a standard tire nowadays. Inside a tubeless tire, yes. Yeah, inside a tubeless tire. And that's another trick that does work and it's not a bad idea to be prepared to do because while Ace Tomato, remember her truck is in a couple of our militia videos. That truck was, she used it for supporting people down during the hurricane season down in Florida. Guys, she filled the tires with run flat. She already had them reinforced. And when they went down there, all the roofing nails were everywhere on the road. Nobody could drive for hours because the roofing nails just coated the highways and the roads like, you know, kelp crops, like darts. Well, she was driving all over the place and by after a while the truck was sounding like brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr There's something to think about there, but they did a lot of driving around. Now, needless to say, we need to be thinking through that because we aren't going to have the benefit of replacement replacement replacement. So we've got to be thinking ahead before we get into that situation accordingly. But it's true when you're out on the road, if you're looking at preparedness right now, You need to look at at least scrounge up another rim at least a full-size and ideally have two tires Matching the they don't have to be brand new but matching the tire size you presently are running if you can Go back behind these tire stores. You'll find two tires Typically, they'll be three out of four the fourth one got blowed to pieces people have more money than you do Replaced all four tires not because the other three were bad because they want to switch out something else So you grab those other three tires put the two on the rim and have the third one as a backup beyond that even Price cost of going and picking them up and putting them in the back of your trunk or pickup until you can get them home and fix them up the rest away Almost free. Yeah time it takes and that's it and that's as free as it gets because you got to spend some time to make you know Get forward, you know move forward with this Another thing is tools a T-bar for a number of different reasons. Remember there's going to be wrecks down the road, not just yours. Now it might have the same tire, but it may not have the same rim. Nor lug wrench, nor lug nut. Exactly. So we've got to have those different wretch heads, those sockets on that T-bar, so that if need be we can switch from one to the next. At least we can scavenge. Down the road we can change out. But if there's a wreck, it's all blowed up, crushed up, smacked up, wrapped up around something. But there's a useful tire there, and that tire looks nice. You get it off that car and you take it with you. or that truck depending on the situation. That's one of the things I was pointing out about these early stages like with all these actions you can tell how early it is in a war because the shoes are still on the dead, the uniforms and gear are still on the dead, and there's still vehicle tires on the wrecks. Oh! Yeah, think about it. Look at Syria. Look at the deep war that they're in now. Take a look at the pictures. Pay attention to the wrecks. You'll notice that a whole lot of parts are missing from the wrecks. Why? Any spare part in the storm, kids. Even nuts and bolts. That's right. So think ahead. Go ahead, caller. You know, you bring up a really good point. The, uh, the hungry bees got kind of a weird bolt, a tauter bolt. You know, they got a lot of bolts, and that's sucker. That hunting field's got like 10. Yep. 10. And so, you know, it might help to have a vehicle that, you know, that whatever you're driving matches their bolt wear or bolt powder. And also, well, the problem with that is because the reason they had to use that multi-lug, remember it's a self-inflating and regulating tire system. That's why they did that. If you take a look at earlier military vehicles like the 3 quarter ton Dodge, the 5 quarter ton Cuck-V, the 5 quarter ton M880, or if you look at even the new snaps and 5 toners, they're straightforward lug pattern. You'll notice that all of a sudden we got into this self-inflating heavy duty plumbing system because remember to do that, you've got to add a whole lot more plumbing to the system. and also seals and that's why that had to work the way it did. Yup, they call it un-sprung weight. Yeah. Now one of the other things about that is that yes, we need to have military lugs. I have keys for all the military vehicles. If there's a cuck-fee, I have a key for it because there's only two keys in the world for the cuck-fee, right guys? For the M880 originally there was only one but they had to do a lock change out because for some somebody lost their key Well, they got old they got tired and they didn't buy the same contract lock. They went with another key set So there are there's one and a quarter, you know, so to speak but two different keys for the Dodge M880 But 99% of them all run off the same key and I have it and everybody that I know has one Same is true for the Kukvies these Chevy square bodies. There's only two truck keys for the whole world for those And because of that guys, if some municipality or if somebody buys these things or gets them for their military operations against the population because they're gun grabbers, remember that all their vehicles, you don't have to break into them. You can walk up, stick the key in, turn it, start the vehicle up, drive it home. See, they had to do that. When they started to make these civilian lock system drivetrains, You know steering systems guys they can't have 50,000 different keys on the battlefield. Oh, no Gotta all be the same you got a key for the for the for the cuckpea guy here and everybody's carrying one on the dog tag if they're smart That way at least you can get it off the battlefield and get your people out of there See how that works on the other hand again remember with the Humvees right now by the way Thank you for bringing this up though. There's a ton and I mean there's hundreds of these One and a quarter and one and a half ton trailers guys that are designed to go behind the Humvee that are coming out right now and some of them are as new as 2010 and 2012. What year is this? They're hey, two or four years old. We're talking, I know where the brains are of the government and I really don't care. If you take a look at goblequidation.com, goblequidation.com, goblequidation.com, take a look at them. They're brand new. They will tell you the year, summer 2008. Wow, that's a whopping six years old. Summer 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012. Summer is old is, oh my goodness. 1999 or 2002. That's nothing on military equipment guys. And it's not like we don't have that size vehicle in service right now. We do. But here's the thing. If you take a look, it's got the match up Humvee tire that goes with the Humvee. So it's got the all terrain wide matte tire which does distribute weight quite nicely. It is really great for all terrain use which is what it was meant for. And those are going right now, there are hundreds of them in the auction right now. Go to Gov Liquidation. Some are in Most are, I won't say some, Most are in Desert Tan, but a bunch of them are in OD Green or in Woodland Camo. The main difference to me, they can be painted back and forth, whatever. But we are talking virtually a brand new trailer and getting it for chump change. Right, but what I was saying was like if you're in a CJ5 and you pull up to a Humvee, You're going to have a hard time putting that Humvee tire and wheel system on that CJ5. Right, the whole hub assembly is different. Right. Yeah, the whole hub assembly. What you're looking at is the diameter of the rim and the clearance in the wheel well. Right. What I was saying was whatever vehicle you might want to be roaming around in, it might be a good idea to try and match it to their system. Well, the problem with that is most anything that is is running too much money. You know, stupid price. That's the thing. Well, that's true. Yeah. The other guy is... All the tires! Well, you have to detect the spec on the tire and you could match up your rims to their tire as far as the diameter, the 16, 16, 5 or 17, whichever it is. You could match it up so your rims, you're at least carrying a tire rim that can carry their tire. That's really what you're looking for. You won't be able to use the rim, but you can at least cap it off the vehicle, throw her in the back, down the road, you can cap her off and put her back on your rim. Now you better make sure you're going to have to have matches, so again, that's why you pull everything off you can as long as it isn't burning, and drag it down the road. But you see, I would point out we should do that anyway. If you come across the wreck, There are wheels intact, the tires come off automatically, you check for glass or for pintle mounts. Example is ordnance, hard points where you have positions for mounting guns. All that stuff gets wrenched off. With a torch and a cutting tool and a few other goodies, I can make anything fit something else. But I've got you know again those piddle mounts make it awful handy for a stable gun platform for the mag 58 the saw gun and the 50 calibers which you're going to be capturing or running into in parts and if you disassemble all the parts you can make two or three wrecks into one complete gun if you're patient and That's what we're going to be doing you're going to be resurrecting everything if it's a gun part it gets carried away I don't care what it looks like If it's a belt-fed machine gun, even if it's shot or bent, you carry it away. They're conditioning everybody in the movies not to think that way. Well, of course they don't, but in real life, everything gets resurrected, kids. Hell, I even beat all the bent parts back straight, put a bunch of the bent parts together, give it a coat of paint, make them feel real uncomfortable about something in a dummy position. Have you ever watched someone change a motorcycle tire with a vise? Have you ever watched someone break a tire off of an automotive rim lowering the car onto the tire? Yep. Necessity you guys. Mark. Ok we got a call, what else do we have? Yeah, George from Texas. You know I talked to one guy who was a mechanic in Iraq. You know he sat there and said he had to change out a lot. One of the most important things people don't know about. A lot of these insurgents would, freedom fighters would shoot out the exhaust system. And you have to constantly change that out or cannibalize in his off system. Right, typically, especially in the Humvees. They never ever spare parts from the Humvees. In Desert Dust 1, half the vehicles were already derelict when they went into combat. By the time you get around to Desert Dust 2, they had plenty of time to rebuild and upgrade the clunkers and even replace some vehicles. And exhaust, while the other part about exhaust is a lot of them are snorkeling systems. And if you damage the snorkeling system, well guess what? A lot of times it'll go passive. If it's beyond the muffler, it's not as noticeable. But if you perforate the snorkeling system and they decide to ford, oh that's pretty well all she wrote. Think about it, what does the air, what's the air system do guys? Sucking and blowing, sucking and blowing. Has to breathe, car has to breathe. Truck has to breathe. Diesel or gasoline makes no difference. It's gotta breathe. If it can't push and pull, it stops. Now, if you were in the middle of a kill zone and a crossing and you're stopping and you think you're going to just buzz across but all of a sudden you're like stopped, well you also block who's behind you, which makes for again an opportunity for target enrichment. So there's all kinds of mean things. And you just constantly look for, if you're the aggressor and you're fighting an invader, you're constantly looking for opportunity targets like that. You're constantly on the program. Yeah, Mark, and another thing, you know as far as changing the tire, I remember I changed a car tire from a rim. And someone told me and I did it and it worked. He said we put a little gasoline in the tire, let a little line go down, he said there's a, he said there's a combustible, the gasoline would sort of like expand the tire. Where it would seal? Well the pressure all that will. What you're doing, guys used to do it with ether. Anything that's a high end combustible will do that. You gotta watch it gasoline too much and don't worry the tire will expand right up around and envelop the rim and it's on the outside the tire and the rims on the inside not good. Have you ever done that George? Yes. Wow. I have an uncle who used to do it all the time, but again, how did he get good at it? Well, for all the times he did it right, he had a few boo-boos where he did it wrong. One could imagine a tire jumping into the air. Oh yeah. That's why they're mounted into the tire machine when they fill it the first time. Yeah, because it will kill you dead, dead, dead. That's the only thing you gotta watch out again if you do something like that see that a lot of people have yet to be captured on film I don't really remember Years ago. Oh hell it was one of the brothers of one of the Indy race drivers guys remember that he was over the air tanks when they were bleeding and filling the tires and the compressor went it was a backwash thing because over pressure and The tank went straight up along with a tire, but the he was bent over the compressor unit the tank and and it took him about 60-70 feet in the air and then let him go. That was all caught on film. If you look back in the history of Indianapolis racing you'll see the pictures of that because it was caught on movie films. And you better have an onboard compressor with one of those tanks you use that blow the air into your yard. When they change truck tires they have to have that air tank in their yard. They blow the air into the side of the rim of the tire. and the tire just pops right on the rim? Right, you've got so much volume going in you just wiggle the carcass a little around on the rim until it catches and pulls, yeah. Yeah, very special. Another good method is a tie down wrapped around the center of the tread, a ratcheting pipe tie down. That'll pull your... Keep it down, it spreads out, it spreads out the tire, it'll reach the rim, and when you put pressure to it, The energy follows the path of resistance. Basically what happens is they go back to position and expand it, go back to its natural compressed position which should be around the rim. Mark, you know even those truck tire rims, they've got to tell you that when you go to most truck shops, they will those things into a cage. Well right, because yeah, well truck tires, especially the cage, in fact, a lot of guys used to be in a hurry and there's a lot of people that got killed by those double, those two-piece rims guys. I remember the last guy, I almost cut him in two, I can remember that one, it was just a Michigan Avenue and US 43. Yeah, he tried to do it outside the cage because they were in a hurry and guess what miscalculation will get you killed Try to get to the deadly yes exactly what mark when I first came to Texas one kid lost his head because that truck that rim boom Yeah, that's our point. Yes, exactly. That's why I again for everybody out there. I got a question for you Go ahead jump in their car now knowing from what my background is, but just kind of ask do you think Horses will play any role in the future. Yes. Oh, absolutely. Horses will travel three times the speed of a man, just like bicycles. Bicycles and horses will be as dynamic in the future as they always have been. And despite what everybody says, we remember, if you can travel faster and rest, let's think about it this way. Know the difference between cavalry and dragoons. cavalry ride into combat, yeehaw, with the Sorrow Sabre drawn, but the Dragoon's mission was to be fast infantry. The Dragoon was not a cavalryman who rolled into battle with a, you know, lance and sword. The Dragoon was a rifleman who got to the battlefield and got to critical points faster where they then dismounted and worked as heavy infantry. They still carried the sword, they still carried, again, a musketoon, two pistols, but dragoons were heavy infantry that were basically like a fire brigade. And think about horses the same way. One thing to look at, we've talked about, everybody's worried about thermal imagery, right? Okay, everybody talks about thermal imagery. Well, I've asked everybody a million times over, if you look into the back 40 of your property here right now, how many other thermal targets are out there? How many animal sized thermal targets are out there? Mark, I got plenty where I live. Everybody does. All of you right now, it's not just the men and humans that are out there, but there's a million, million other creatures out there that create a hotspot. Not only that, but they create a hotspot in concealment. So yeah, you get a register off them, but you don't get a silhouette of what they are. Horses are naturally occurring about the same size, though bigger obviously than a deer. But think about the deer population. Horses, wild horses, cattle, wild cattle, pigs, wild pigs. The population density is much larger than anybody wants to even think about. So the horse itself is actually a very user-friendly creature when it comes to field operation. Being an organic, which is kind of a good thing. The other thing is, where do you get your fuel from? Wherever that horse happens to be, right? Horses will nibble just like anything else. If it ain't on the ground, they'll go after brush. So you've got fuel and that means the animal can continue to function. The biggest thing about having horses is, just like we've talked about, motorcycles, cars, trucks, tanks, APCs and helicopters, is maintenance. You've got to know how to take care of what it is that's keeping you alive. And there's another thing about organics, you've got to remember to keep them alive. You have to constantly be thinking about them because you may not be able to run, but that thing can. Is that horse shod? If it has shoes, if it has shoes, you are taking a risk running it or even walking it briskly down a concrete road. We have got to be thinking ahead about how we are again outfitting and if we are, even with the horse, we have got to be thinking about it like we do the vehicles and the bikes and everything else. We need to have a certain amount of iron mongery with us. We need to have maintenance tools as part of what keeps the horse going. Also, health and welfare, remember it's an organic and they run in variants in age and condition. No horse is outdone, I mean completely exhausted, although there are what they used to call nags and bay haze, etc. But those are, again, even there, they can pull more than you can. Don't forget the swayback. Yes, wow, look at that, that's real easy to climb up on that one, you do that, you may bust into it too. But at least it can tow something. Think about it. How much weight can it pull that you can't? It can pull a car. That's why they came up with the principle of horsepower. Yeah, well again, the whole idea behind the idea of horsepower. Exactly. As it is, the big thing is here again, it's maintenance. It's not like you'd be ignorant. If you're talking about getting a horse, you're obviously going to be having to immerse yourself in the technology. But the horse is a lot more user friendly in terms of being able to keep functional. The farther south you are, the more there's going to be fodder constantly all year round. If you are looking at using it in the winter climb, remember that there are a lot of things you can do to enhance the survivability that we couldn't do in the past. All the synthetics to keep the animal dry and to keep the animal healthy are just as available to cover the animal. We don't think about that, but it's so ridiculous. Why not? China Sport junk makes it possible for completely changing the dimension of how we see things. We have to think outside and think into this century's box in that respect. The other thing about it is, again, for nothing else, pack animals. Now, I'm going to say something else I mentioned years ago. Lamas. I know, they're goofy pets. No, llamas are actually an even better pack animal than a horse. They will carry as much, if not more, than a horse. And they can clear ground obstacles up to six feet with cargo. Oh, you thought they were just pretty little creatures. Well, down in South America, remember, ma-pow, that's tonight's dinner. Llamas are eaten just like cows are up here, but they also serve as a pack and utility animal and there's whole groups of people that train them. The 4-H clubs here, if you wanted a llama, you can get a llama for a pretty reasonable price. Join the 4-H girls and guys that are training them and then you can actually train your animal to do everything you do. They train them to go through tunnels. They train them to leap obstacles the way they do in South America. There's a whole criteria for testing, guys. and they get their 4H credit for training the animal properly. Well guess what? You can train with them and now you've got an animal to go everywhere you can and carry 150 pounds of equipment. And carry it non-stop. Go ahead. Plus there's really nothing you can do. Huh? Are there any mounted militia? And the other issue is again long term veterinary care. If you're going to do a mounted unit, you want to make sure you kind of recruit a vet into the Corps. Or two. You remember that the Communists used to execute veterinarians as quickly as they would doctors, guys. Seriously. They understood the value of horse. And then the Communists were doing the red terror in the 20s and 30s. You might recall, for instance, as I pointed out, when the polls were executed, the criteria for execution, all doctors, all veterinarians, all national guardsmen, boy scouts, all police were executed. And the veterinarians were right there in amongst them as a priority for execution to exterminate working knowledge in the population. That's what the KGB, that's what the Jewish mob did. The best of the Goya should have their heads crushed like snakes. Mark, you know what I heard in West Texas back in the early days? That I heard they imported camels into the desert part of Texas. Yeah. Well, yeah, the camels were... Well, it was an experiment. You gotta remember, back in the day when that was proposed, there were a lot of innovative mines. The camel really would not be a bad animal for the environment. It just didn't catch hold because of... Again, we're talking about maintenance issues and... I just have to punch it when it's spit on me. Yeah, along with the llamas too. Yeah, llamas will spit. I know that. I have to let them through. Yeah, but they don't do it very often. You've got to have a persnickety fool as far as the llama. If you're working with them, they typically won't, but if they get an attitude, yes, they'll spit just like a camel. That's true. I don't particularly find the llamas either. Well, yeah, it's true. That's another thing you have to watch if you're going to have different animals. uh... the llama course so to speak would be separate but i put the llama core with infantry anyway The llamas are not a riding animal. You can use them to move wounded, but the llamas more than anything would be an infantry pack animal. They'd be optimal for moving ammunition. For wounded, think like an Indian Traverse. Exactly. What you do is the llamas can be so well trained that you could actually put a long stretcher between the two and move them that way. Wow. One thing that horses won't do without being covered llamas will go into overhead cover areas like tunnels. You can't get horses to do that easily. In fact, they have to have somebody leading the llama too. But the llamas will not hesitate. As long as they can bend over and bend their neck down and move through the area, they'll go right through pretty much any obstacle. They'll go over it or they'll go under it. So that's why again, an infantry, that makes the llama a good infantry tool. Whereas like you said, because the different animals don't necessarily work well together, the horse would be a horse, you know, horse component would be a horse component with mule, that kind of thing. And let's not forget, you know, we talk about this, but you know, sulkies and series are nothing more than a rickshaw, guys. Right. And if you got a horse that's already trained to a sulky, you've got a rickshaw cargo carrier. Think about it. The only problem is trying to keep up with the poor bugger if she gets into the trot. If you heard a gun... If she heard a gun and she's all hooked up, she might think it's time to do the circuit. You know what I mean? The once around, you might get her high stepping for a second, then she'd be on the trot and catching up with her ain't going to happen. But just something to think about because again, different animals are trained in different ways. It takes time to build a team up. Teams don't just get thrown together. That's one thing you've got to remember. What you do is you actually gauge the team. One of our people here is probably working with horses. If you have a team, you want to figure out because each animal likes a position or a station or they work better. Think of Knox dragging the cannons from the Ticonderoga to Boston. At times he employed horses and he very much liked the times when he employed oxen. The oxen were more manageable. Yes, and they hardly stopped. They just keep chugging along and they had that ox power, that diesel power. I hate to say it, the oxen were better for going cross country with the covered wagon too. Yes, exactly. And you had something to work with or breed at the other end. Or eat! One winner's worth of food when the time came so you didn't starve to death. Exactly. Mmm, steak. Yeah, better that. Well, it's like I said, I wouldn't think twice about horse. You know, a lot of people do that and I try to ask the question, why? Because a horse meat is just as healthy for you and granted, horses have more of a personality that people relate to and understand. Okay, it really is a combination of things. But what it comes down to is it's livestock. And it's not like we're eating human beings, but I would not want to kill the horse that's carrying me. But If the thing, if it's going to die or if it were a situation where it's absolutely desperate, you wouldn't think twice about going out and putting a bullet between Bossy's head. And Bossy might have been the one that dragged you all the way across the prairie to begin with like we're talking about. Did those people at Donner Pass just immediately result in people food? Oh no, they dragged the horses into the cabins first. Mark, I talked to a World War I vet and he said, yep, we ain't horse-meing all the time. Well hell yeah. Well, the French don't think twice about it and neither do the Canadians. Most people don't realize in Canada, right across the river here from where we are, they sell horse just like the Ameriul. Right there in the south. That's where all the horses go. They either go north or south. Yeah, exactly. And they ain't going there to be warm and fuzzy pets. If you want a real good example of a horse meat meal, just go to a Burger King and a New Jersey Turnpike. Yeah, exactly. That's sad, but that's true. We could have Winnie Your Way, huh? Winnie Your Way. Haven't Your Way. Haven't Your Way. What do you mean? Hey, Mark, you think Tamara can get Ed to pull up that posse meeting song? Oh, I don't know. It's a little late for that today. We'll have him do a... out because I know he's running around trying to get everything done. As a matter of fact, we're hearing the music here probably in a minute. Don, you're number is the right position before we close any further. Remember guys, any time going into the field if you can ride to save energy, that means you're stronger when you get to where you're going. Calories saved in one place means calories burned in another. Whenever you can kneel instead of stand, you do it. Wherever you can sit instead of kneel because you have the ability, do it to rest. Remember, it's conservation of calories to have what you need when the time comes to be able to endure what it is that we're going to have to to become victors. And that's our goal, to win. God bless the Republic. Death to the new world order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. But we are on the march, both day and night. Stop them in the head. Beat them down so hard they'll wish to God they never showed up where we're born. And when we're done, we're going to get on with life and leave them in the dustbin. Don, your number for night vision. Give it out a couple of times, please, and close us. That number is... 2-3-1-7-9-6-8-4-5-8. Again, 2-3-1-7-9-6-8-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9- 84580. Thank you Mark. God bless America. Hey, if you got a set of dulcimer hammers, send them to me.

Please stand by while we try to reconnect. diplomacy to be effective must be credible. The best way to win an election is deliberate deception. Same thing happened in 2000, Jordan, I know that. Let me just tell you what the facts are. After my plan is in place, the wealthiest Americans won't pay any tax at all. I created this office to serve corporate America, and that's just the people's money. is money. I want that corporate soft money. More money. I also want to get some federal money. Federal money. Your money. More money. More money is needed and I spend more money. It's money that my administration has borrowed. Loading up IOUs for future generations. You know what? We have spent the surplus. The idea is it's time to bust this economy. Let's get it done once and for all. Fuzzy math. It's fuzzy math. Fuzzy math I'm practicing fuzzy math so I've had the need to fudge the numbers and not tell the truth for diplomacy to be effective must be credible urge Congress to join me in advancing the weakening standards and accountability we will continue to produce corporate scandals I'm against working people and I also announce exports of jobs are on the rise. In this office we need to serve corporate America be right since the people's money and presidents will So I signed a law that's going to hurt our economy, take defensive measures against progress and pluralism to help wealthy people get ahead. Unemployment rising, yet it's not growing fast enough. Congress must provide the funds to punish every worker in America. My view is the riskiest of all options. After my plan is in place, all court seniors will pay a higher percentage of taxes. We've got an economy that's not as unfair as it should be. In my mind, there is no doubt. My plan is a drag on our economy. I want to empower the wealthiest Americans because they want a better rate of return. The poorest of Americans must be responsible. Much of our job growth will be found in the American military. The goal is making money. Vice President Cheney, as we gather tonight, we constitute an axis of evil. This office deserves corporate America. We're at just the people's money. And President George dubbed him personal damn to consequences. Fuzzy math. It's fuzzy math. Fuzzy math. I'm practicing fuzzy math. Go out now, we need to fudge the numbers. And not tell the truth. For diplomacy to be effective, this must be credible. Diane.
