That's free for five days at Live365.com slash VIP. Live 365. I had a dream the other night that, well, I didn't understand. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood here by my bed. He took off his three cornered hat and speaking low to me said, we 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. But 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 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 will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch in 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'd fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? And good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, this is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report I'm our corny a nightmare soda one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines of occupied territories west southwest east and north well ladies and gentlemen you're listening to us on liberty three radio dot four m g dot com indiana free talk radio dot com running about the micro stations cb base stations and alternate technologies east and west of the mississippi along with alaska were the hallmark network from the top of main to the bottom of florida from the bottom of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico headed Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both 3rd, 5th, Pitt and our friends, the 12 sisters on the left side of the state, Colorado, the recall state, the great state of Jefferson out there on the left coast, way out there on the water side and keep that up Jefferson, Jefferson, Jefferson, not only use your Jefferson silver, which is, you know, again, already the circulation, but let's not forget those Jefferson nickels. One dollar Jefferson coins and two dollar bills if you're going to be working the state of Jefferson saturate the environment with the image. There's no reason not to. And by the way, the Federal Reserve wants those two dollar bills off the shelf so the banks really can't complain at all, even though they'd like to. Well, turning back to the east, we sweep across the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi land and the Smokies. or the restaurant crews, grandma teams, OK teams, and mob build grandma consortium, bring us the golden spike. It is changing it again outside here in Michigan. We've got as much clouds as we have blue sky, but the storm front doesn't seem to have won. It seems to have pushed a little to the south. So we'll see what happens there. What's it like out there in Arizona, and what is the date today? 2 July 2014. Very good. And temperatures out there are what now? They've dropped a little bit. Yeah, I think it's about 100 and 8, 109 or so. They were predicting last week that it was going to hit 113, but I'm just not seeing that right now with this wind shift. Very good. And again, for everybody out there, as we were talking about dress accordingly, as far as desert warfare equipment goes, hey, you can spend whatever you want on clothing and camouflage and styles. One that does seem to be coming in which was not available before multi cam is one that everybody's been kind of raving about The other smoke patterns are out now which are almost full circle back to where we were back in the late 60s with the homemade homespun camel, but something else, vegetato Italian vegetato. This is going to be showing up on the commercial market from the wholesalers very soon. It's already out there. But this is actual military Italian military uniforms. And the stuff actually has a similar color range to the multicam. It has a similar strike and spot pattern to the multicam, but it is a little different again. So if we're looking for something to blend into another area based upon the rock, based upon foliage, etc. This is one that we might look at. They've already got the rain gear, actual Gore-Tex rain gear. It's stupid price though, but even though it's stupid price numbers it expensive wholesale it's still cheaper than multi-cam uh... but in addition to that the uniforms brand-new of all go all the way up to three acts That's not just for girth, but also for like what we have here that are guys that are almost like, you know, 6'10", 6'11". In order to get something that fits and to properly proportion it, they need that size. I've got one guy, in fact, 3x. He's almost 7' tall. There's two of them, actually. And the 3x, at least, is what's needed, although ideally we need to go a little bigger and we always have to check the arm length to make sure it's proportional. because the guy just can well tell you what it was a boxer he outdo you he did you couldn't get near him split that he just puts his arm out just keep smacking in those anyway and can you be halfway there with your arm anyway um... that it's not so is the pattern check it out while you can look it up if you want probably two places to go haciampa camo has got a pretty good example slash a listing showing the different patterns So you can compare it to multi-cam and compare it to the other patterns that are coming out right now that are the next family of designs that everybody thinks they need. The vegetato is not new. It's not a new pattern. It was already issued and used in the Middle East. And it's also been used in the Italian boot by the regular Italian army. So it is going to be seen out there to a degree. Certain companies have it, others do not. What I'm seeing right now is typically the groups that are getting it are the companies that are associated with the Swiss. That seems to be consistent. I don't know why, but they obviously right next to Italy there they've got a good connection. So keep an eye out for that. Headgear, I don't know. That's one thing that seems to be weak in the equipment, for instance, I've noticed with the DPM Desert. We can get every pattern of pant every pattern of shirt we can get the windproof coats I get you the Gore-Tex tops and bottoms, but headgear Yeah, you're spending almost as much for a hat in that pattern as you are for a coat That's the problem. There's no Surplus in those head in the headgear that we're seeing over here for whatever reason It just hasn't gotten to the side of the water. Whatever you're gonna buy is new and at retail price So, that's the plus and minus in that area. It's not hard to find some else that will work. The other thing is that with regard to the rain gear, there's pretty much everything is Gore-Tex or Sim-Tex, which is the other, that's the Euro version of Gore-Tex. And so you're going to find you're going to be spending more from this point forward for rain gear. It used to be you could make ends meet with buying some of the other standard rubberized slash the American issue stuff or even the Euro stuff. There's still some Austrian coming out but not very much. The rest is pretty much going to be in the Gore-Tex, first and second generation. Stuff came in back in the early 80s and was pretty well coveted and kept by the armies respectively. They haven't been releasing very much of this. But now the OD Green Gore-Tex, the Sage Green Gore-Tex, just give you a heads up, this just started to come out. It's Austrian and Italian. It has more of the field colors that might be adaptive to the areas out there in Arizona, New Mexico, or even West Texas. Actually, it's good wearing clothing to begin with because it's number one in good sizes. Well made and it's reasonably priced because it's not camouflage. It's just a flat single color. There's enough of the camouflage flooding the market now. that the green and the standard flat colors are becoming more reasonably priced across the board. So just a heads up there, the Italian and Austrian, one third the price for as good a quality as anything else you could buy in Gore-Tex right now. That's what's on the table in the surplus industry that's going to be cropping up. So we're going to keep an eye out for that. At least that way you got some good wet weather gear for all your people that can't afford as much. And it will work just fine. You can make it work. Let's put it that way. Go ahead. Anything else? Jump in there. What else we got today? Well, you know, that's one thing that you bring up the Gore-Tex. And you know, I was in Army. They gave us that UBORI stuff. It's like wearing a sauna suit. And it wasn't very good. Those of you who are thinking about Gore-Tex and you're a little bit pricey, you're having to choose between a top and a bottom, I would go ahead and put your priority on the bottoms. what will happen, at least in the southwest desert. What will happen is you'll see the plastic over top of you while the rain comes by. Then after you see the plastic away and then continue your mission, then you're going to come in contact with all the lower chaperel, the creosote bushes and stuff like that. you're going to get wet from. If you have the bottom on, then when you come in contact with the lower brush, then that's going to repel the water and you're not going to get that sticky type of feeling. Remember today, Weapons Wednesday, your mind is your priority. One of the things too that you mentioned, the last hour, UN ammo. I've got the address and phone number if you want, but if you want to just steer them towards the UN ammo so they can check the inventory. One of the things on Sunday, I like tension, there's Derby Guns dot the lady that runs the shop, and she has a on Sundays, I think it's from 10 to 11 or from 11 to 12. It used to be just from noon to 2, but so when they do this, now they've gotten back on the air and they've bumped for It's a 1,000 watt radio station. It's 1,100 a.m. and it covers pretty much the whole state. You can get it over in some of the surrounding states too. So it's 1,100 a.m. talking guns. And also in the afternoon it has to be nice when she would start at noon and go to two and then from three. There's a guy named Toh and he's a lot about the prefects and they understand now they've got a key to be guns. and I don't know, you most likely can go to DerbyGuns.com, search their inventory and see if it, because if you see something that you want, you can find that they can always acquire it, so that most likely would be more the half of Arizona. A lot of efforts are cheap. One other thing heard all about the me of that, about get everybody interested in sex, and they won't talk to radio stations, and that's one thing, but you just find it odd that shooting from the helicopter in southern Arizona. regulations and rules of engagement and everything. Influx of all is coming up here, so I just find it odd. So why don't you pay the Border Patrol to do the job that they were hired to do and then they wouldn't have to be asking the taxpayer up another $2 billion to house all these. You know, what we could maybe do is you're talking about people jumping up. We just need to get a bunch of trampolines on this side of the fence and have them angled so when they jump over then they land on the trampoline and it goes boing. So, that might be a good billion dollars of water. Tennis racket effect. There you go. It's a catapult, a big trampoline or something that runs in that direction. Those are just some of the deals about the vortex, about the pay cut, your mind, your primary weapon, getting the people interested in sex and sorts. And it's something that we've talked about before. If I can use the term preaching to the choir, it's okay that we can sit here and talk amongst each other and share what's going on in Michigan or Montana. But then there's sometimes that we need to call up the radio stations and say, hey, I'm a helicopter here in the side of Arizona. I could really less about the abstract story that what you're trying to tell us all about this World Cup if I want to listen to what the world and switch over to the, oh, there's a guy just to kick the field goal over here on the Hispanic radio station, the play-by-play about all that and everything. But they're not talking about what's really, those are just kind of some of the things that I'd like to. Back to this Mexican helicopter, right? I'd seen one news article and they had a picture of a helicopter and I don't know if they were just so sharp and it didn't lie to me like a, not an HH-50 Super Jolly Green Giant with the three. that and it's like well what i don't think the particular that's problem that's why we're hoping that they'd be uh... again the expansion on that the problem is like you said that they're a good if people are ready with the camera this is one of the things we need to be doing we're going to deploy and guys with all the throwaway type cameras you go to a pharmacy right now and by in fact one of the guys did a whole video of this entire workshop on one of these twenty nine ninety five cameras at the pharmacy three usable The present one for $29.95 comes with a stick, a memory stick. you can replace it as many times you want each one will record two, three, five hours. Not only that but it has sound recording capability just like your cell phone but it's just a... all it is is a the the camera and the microphone pickup guts of a cell phone in a handheld unit that's about the same size, a little bigger, a little more like a an older calculator in terms of you know thickness and dimension. The thickness of your little finger So it's small, fits into a pocket, but guys there's no reason not to have a camera with you of some kind. And I'm going to tell you the quality of the imagery with this is good enough to actually make a decent video for YouTube if need be. So as far as carrying it in the field and having one with you, now there's also these little airsoft and paintball. I've already got these cameras out there in force, they've bled over into the shooting circles now. so you can not only mount a laser in your favorite flashlight, in your whatever else you want can opener, you can also add a camera for little or no weight and that again is another documentation device. If we can get some imagery, and there's no reason not to nowadays, the cell phones cops will try to grab. In fact, I carry a cell phone that's totally irrelevant. has nothing to do with me. Doesn't really, if they want to power it up and pedal with it, fantastic. Go to town. But the idea is that that's what they're typically looking for. If you film us, why do you hate anybody like that? Why don't you use your cell phones? Oh yeah, wow, dude. Of course, the last thing you expect is you actually have a camera-committed system. That's all it does. And that's something that we need to be stressing with everybody, especially as things are developing here. There's no reason for every aspect of whatever starts to kick off this war to be completely filmed. Not in this day and age. This isn't 1993 or 1983. This is the 21st century. China Sport, all the slave labor have built us all this spy sport junk that the government has in force. Well, guess what? We can buy it too. And it's the latest is reasonably priced. Not even the latest. Two generations back is still more serviceable enough when it's reasonably priced. Go ahead, Carl. Yeah, I think a real good thing that a lot of consider is buying a truck stop. and buying a dash cam, you can put it on, you section the thing to your windshield, and whenever you get in your car, you push on and you're taping until you push off. It's all digital, you can tape up to, you know, you know, how to, you know, track those over and over so it loops. You're catching whatever in front of that car or in back of that man, whatever way you want to point it, and now you've got, no matter where you go, you're taping what's ever going on. dealxtreme.com, www.dealxtreme.com. They have so many stinking variations on those car cameras. They run off 12 volt. They'll plug into an ashtray lighter, hint, hint, hint, a motorcycle battery, a PVC pipe, and one or two or three of those turned into an iPod. A recording pod for security operations would be a cheap way to monitor a whole lot of piece of real estate without having anybody to be there 24-7 or let's put it this way, you could spread them out so you have more eyes on the ground. Like you said, these things will film for an indefinite period of time. Some of them have a fixed loop. They'll run for three, six, eight, 10 hours and then they'll rerecord. They'll rerecord over themselves. They'll wash their own digital memory and they'll start re-recording. So as long as you've got power, you've got something being recorded. Which is, you know, again, really cool. Go ahead. A digital camera mounted to your windshield is number one priority to equipment. Exactly. One of the things here again, too, is as pointed out, we might see something that you definitely want recorded, guys. Right. You know, in other words, well, I saw this on the road while not only did I see it on the road, but I've got it on film. See, in the past, it's been a problem because cameras were not cheap. uh... dvhs cameras uh... even we got down eight millimeter uh... you know eight millimeter and demi digital they're still fairly good-sized and they were pricey uh... the slave wage china sport slash you know spy industry uh... has expanded because that's all anybody does now in the greg government that's all they're good for they don't build things that are you know again for the people there you know rat spies well to make it cheaper for them they've offered stuff into the market and This gets them into the arena for a lot less payola. We finance our own demise, so to speak. Well, in reverse order, we can also use it to document theirs when the time comes. So this is definitely an issue that everybody needs to take into consideration. The thing is that there are so many sizes, too. In fact, not only that, you point out about facing front and back. Guys, you can buy systems that will cover both front and back simultaneously. Or, in fact, one of the things I've pointed out is, it'd be kind of fun, you could actually record four points of the compass with some of these systems the way they can be stacked. So you can have a single memory pod, and it collects all two or four signals from the units that are deployed. They're still hardwired. Although they make wireless even now. They make the equivalent to a Wi-Fi unit that's only operating inside the vehicle. So it doesn't go anywhere, signal goes right to the recording device. But I prefer a hard wire for a number of reasons because things can be interfered with. And hard wire, you know, other than somebody blocking the windows or running over your vehicle and squashing it flat, something's going to be recorded, including your vehicle being run over and squashed flat for that matter, you see. So as long as that little memory stick survives or that digital onboard processor, you're going to be able to recover whatever was filmed. And it's not gonna be that bad in the field. The big thing is that we can have backups. You could have a gun camera mounted on the weapon. Hell, you could be like aliens nowadays. It's not even a significant weight if you're wearing a helmet or a safety helmet, like a bike crash helmet. There are some pretty decent ones out there. Or for that matter, the paintball knockoffs of the military helmets simply to have a bumper so you don't bounce your head off something. You can mount your night vision to that, obviously, but you can mount a camera system just like you saw in aliens and there'd really be no difference. That reality is now with us. It's now the 23rd or 25th century. It's here. Now, it wouldn't want to send anything. You can do that if you wanted to do that. But most important is it's recording for your benefit, especially if it's training operation or field security operations, whatever. Go ahead, jump in there, guys. If you want to buy one or if you're interested, I just direct your local press office and just stand there while they're correct. type of equipment there, you know, the ones that have been filtered out, the good ones from the bad, only to get stuff sold there. Right, it's already gotten bounced around and it doesn't break in easy. Right. Yep. Very good. And that's also true of the radios, by the way, guys. The herd is pretty well narrow, but at least you know if you grab it out of the box there, it probably works. So that's a plus plus why you're there do it great getting your camera. Don't forget buy a CB radio buy a CB radio buy a CB radio That'll be your holiday purchase for the weekend. How's that sound my CB radio and get a camera for the car? Yeah, it's for 250 you could walk out there the brand new CB with a brand new dash cam You know, right out of the box, if you got that kind of money and you don't want to pour it around by looking for them on the web, you can walk into any truck stop. For under $250 plus tax, you're walking out with a CV and a real good dash cam that will take you, you know, that's all digital and it'll come with the the interface wire that connects your computer so you can transfer the images to your computer or your smartphone and instantly email off to your lawyer or whoever or Mark Horkey or Don or whoever. So they can see it. You can have that stuff transmitted from your dash cam to Mark or on the website over there in less than five minutes. That's how easy it is. Exactly. I appreciate that. Anything else? Go ahead. That's about it. That's the step that we use because we're on the road all the time. You've got to have protection. You've got to have video protection. If you're driving a car these days, man, you're showing out for fuel and road taxes and registration, give you a fool not to have one. It's just one of those things where you had to stand good protection. The cop... She's at that camp. He should have a whole new attitude on how he approaches you and how far his hand is from his holster and all that good stuff. That dash cam will affect how that... If the cop knows you got one, that's gonna affect the way he approaches you. That's a big deal to me. Because I'm the type that gets real argumentative and I'll get all pissed off. If he comes to me calm, then I'm calm. If he shows any kind of It kind of, you know, bullshit, cop, I just crap hole, then there's gonna be, I'll probably end up in jail. That's the kind of person I am. So that's how I'm gonna keep my temperament down and all that, you know? Right. You know. Go ahead, go ahead, Mike. No, I was just gonna say it kind of works both directions. It calms him down and calms you down too. Yeah, right. Very good, appreciate that. Anything else? Yeah, I got something I kind of want to talk about a little bit. That's uh, it's hit more and more. I mean we're seeing it's It's I'm one of those guys that can't legally carry a gun and it's just really You know, it's really I drive a I drive a truck I'm all around hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of produce and meat and all kinds of garbage, you know All kinds of garbage that I got to worry about it. I can't even have a damn gun in the truck I think that's going to come to a really quick call. I know a lot of guys do carry. We're reading more and more about drivers now getting shot on the side of the road while they're sleeping. They're getting robbed more and more. I've got to find something that I can... I know what I want. It's just how they know. The cops really can't go into your truck unless they have a warrant. They say that they can, but I don't get into a truck. That's where you live. It's like a house. I've got to talk to somebody and how I can get around that little problem. I've got to have some protection man out there. I can't be naked out there. It's getting too dangerous. I've got to get it with somebody to give me some ideas. I want a pistol grip AK, but that's kind of the larks I have inside that truck. I'll tell you what I like, and although it doesn't offer a lot of penetration, but it's a, a dozen of it has the check ammo, or the little scorpion pistols. 32 ACP, they're actually pretty manageable. They were built with a support stock. You don't see them now, again, they actually brought them in at 9mm. They came in with even a larger capacity magazine, which was a part of a research package that Chex did before they split, you know, the Chex and the Slowbox. The Scorpion and its later model actually had a Tri-Stack magazine. They're stupid priced now. God knows what they are at this point because there aren't any more that are available. They haven't brought any more in. The ones that are in here are like chicken teeth. So it would be an interesting design. Otherwise, the other consideration about restrictions is black powder pistol. Yes, most everything. There's no restriction on black powder pistol for carrying and transporting because of all of the variations that are coming back to the GCA 68. and pretty much every state, us included, although open carry has always been legal here in Michigan. I've emphasized that for years. Everybody picked up on that over the last 15 years or so. They've rediscovered open carry without any permits, you don't need any paperwork, etc. But what most people don't realize is that black powder is even more, has greater lateral motion in general. So you take a modern Remington stainless steel or a modern Ruger cap and ball and there you have the same performance as anywhere from a plus P38 to a 357 Magnum load. I wouldn't load them that hot. But you can load them up hot. They're modern metallurgy. They're well built. They were made by a standard pistol factory and the guns are durable. Also reliability is purely a matter like anything else taking care of the weapon. I know guys that carried him for years back during the 68 riots. My brother used to work in Detroit and they would be before the 68 riots took place and even after, he got everybody to start carrying black powder, cat and ball pistols in the places where they worked. They couldn't say anything about them. Everybody was armed and they didn't have the problems everybody else had when that took place because everybody knew that everybody was armed. They weren't going to be victims. Hey Mark, I made a big difference dimension wise. Go ahead, call the gym in there. Me and Edith are real quick. One thing that we've dealt with similar situations and sometimes you need to have something concealed. One thing that we've been doing is without making it too obvious just in case if people are listening. Use your imagination and magnets because pistols are generally metal, at least part of a mark, the slide at least, and magnets, if you mount magnets in various locations with a gun, they've got these rather strong magnets out there. This costs you maybe $10, the rarer magnets. or somewhere that you have to actively reach up under or maybe you put it in some kind of a container that's been secured somewhere and you can easily access it. So we've been using magnets to make guns very accessible. If you don't want to carry them on you or you can't carry your monuments. Exactly. At 380, Bodyguard with the late Palmetto stayed on and it comes to magazines. It's a 6 plus. unless you go with a wall pin and they're only like nine. Very good, appreciate that. Well, this is media real quick. The Supreme Court ruling where they ruled the Pennsylvania guy with the straw purchase to his uncle who could legally own it that they said it was a purchase and using a violation of a law. They did carve out and did say specifically that gifts are not. So gifts are not considered a straw purchase. Just wanted to clarify that. People who were in the know were arguing and pointing out, you know, you pass this garbage, they're going to turn this around and flip it right on its head, which is exactly what they tried to do with this. And they're still pressing the envelope under the logic. They've stupefied people through the public fool system. That's why they tried to push that elephant through the, you know, the keyhole. And, back years ago, all of these things were argued, you know what, they're going to try to do all that crazy. They won't do that. Okay, they're going to try to again make everybody crazy. Oh, let's talk about crazy. Everybody will have some kind of psycho-babble BS because that will be the latest priesthood, the latest high worshippers everybody's going to have to bow down to. Lo and behold, what do we see? All this stuff that was argued about not passing the GCA 68 because it was a skank operation from the get-go We need us we need to turn around and find somebody some of these people need to go out and apologize to them because they're dead and gone now They were sages that knew what they were talking about and they were absolutely right So again, go ahead jump in there. This is I had the question about decent 380s and I can personally recommend both the Grendel 380 which is no longer made, but you can still find them at gun showers and the Kel-Tec 380. I've shot both with both ball and hollow point and they've been 100% reliable and they're still relatively inexpensive. The Grendel, I remember when it came out, I didn't know they stopped production on it. That's an interesting pistol to begin with. Then Kel-Tec, pretty much everything they make, while some of it's very unique or it's often its own category, everything Kel-Tec makes, not only do they build it well, but it's backed up. Something goes wrong. They're good for following up like Ruger used to be. Go ahead. Yeah, actually the Grendel company went out of business and a bunch of the same people went to Kel-Tec. The Kel-Tecs are basically the same design as the Grendel. First Grendel actually used a stripper clip and loaded from above, but that wasn't popular. The one I have uses a 12-round magazine. Right, the first was mimicking the nine millimeter stier pistols and the bramhandle mouser. That was what they were doing. They were trying to reinvent the wheel there and maybe we can get this to work, which it did work. It's just the idea that people weren't thinking well, if it's a pocket pistol, you're trying to minimize the size, which was the whole idea behind using the stripper system. And it was already figured out how. That was done 120 years ago. Think about it. It's already figured out how to use it. We didn't both Steyr and the Mauser pistols used top feed stripper clips and the Steyr pistol guys was a the magazine well was in the pistol grip the broom handle It's obviously magazine well to the front but both of those worked and both of them were very reliable. Go ahead. Yeah, but I still have my Grundle and shot a Kel-Tec 380 I've got the Kel-Tec 9mm and 40mm and those have both been totally reliable. I like the fact that they're an American company and make a good gun. I've got something else to report that a good friend of mine saw today at the Social Security office down here in Mississippi. There was a 72-year-old man whose check was almost a month late. He was down there and they were essentially telling him, uh, tough teddy. Uh, they weren't giving him any help at all and unfortunately the man got angry. They said, of course he was just venting when he said that he wished he could blow the place up. Well, apparently the local, uh, uh, shouldstoppel, the, uh, Gestapo, uh, was close by and somebody called him. I saw a short section of video. Those boys loved putting their boots on that 72 year old man's head and their knees on his back while they zipped at him hand and foot while he was begging them not to hurt him. He's facing five years for, if they can possibly do it to him, for venting when those scumbags weren't helping him. Well, you know how that works That was my that was a relative. We don't know how we'd have to deal with that Don't worry. They might have fun hog time to 70 or 72 year old But there's a lot of people especially down that neck of the woods too Well, that might be the last time they zip tie a 72 year old man It's like shooting a girl four times and through the windshield, you know an 18 year old. Let's right there on video It's like yeah, you probably get away with that for the moment But don't worry You'll all be alone at some time. You'll all be alone and that's it Everybody needs to take that attitude risk. Remember there's a long list of things to do when the time comes and they'll all be alone Oh mark. I'm so looking forward to it. I just it's I've got a I'll be busy and away from doing pretty much everything for a bit because We all know exactly what we need to do and it's gonna have to be done. Right? Hey, that's simple well Thank you, sir. And again, we still, I'll tell you, we're almost to the top here. Anything else down there from the border before we go any farther? Yeah, you know, you were talking earlier when we were talking about dash cams and battery sources, and it kind of made me think of one thing, and it's a problem that occurs, especially in some of the remote areas, if you have a cell phone with you, that when you get out in the way of, from the cell phone tower, it's going to continue to ping and it drains your battery real within an hour or so. Your cell phone goes dead. One of the things that we have found illegals that see to do is they'll get a lantern battery like the square 6 volt lantern battery and then they'll get their cell phone cable part that plugs on and then the long and then they'll cut into the wall and then that'll have theirs on the inside. A black one, a black one is universal negative and the white one is the positive. So you put the black wire onto the battery. You put the white one on the positive terminal of the battery and you plug it into your cell phone and it charges right up. For those that have problems when you're out in the way and running down the hill, your cell phone or something, that's an alternative for cell phones. In the field you use a lantern battery in your ear. And not only that, adding one more step, go to Harbor Freight. They do have a number of different solar panel cheapies that are like anywhere from $6 to $15. and they work exceptionally well in places where you have lots and lots of sunlight. And for the price for what they do, they're priceless. Remember they trickle charge. They're not going to beat charge something. So normally a not rechargeable battery, if you're patient and you're paying attention anyway because you're going to husband your equipment, you can get it to work for you. That's one of the things that is most critical. As you pointed out with small batteries, China Sport Motorcycle or China Sport Longmore Batteries. They're small. They're designed again for either starting a moped or whatever. Those are available. There's any number of different power sources. Those little black block lantern batteries. Reasonably priced, easy to use. You're not out much, but they actually are going to hold more than enough charge for that radio, for the cell phone system. The one thing too about these other units we're talking about is rechargeable batteries, rechargeable batteries for everything if you can. That's something that we need to emphasize going over to in every category because the first thing there was limitations about was we're going through batteries, a lot of batteries. Of course, we don't know how many were pilfered, but we know that they were going through a lot of batteries with the Bundy deployment for all the people that were using electrical equipment, radios, etc. Well, so we told you so. We warned everybody about this. The addiction to the alkali battery is great for companies, but looking at the long run, being in remote locations, not being able to run back and get things, you need to start looking at recharging, re-energizing, and again, recycling wherever possible. Use it till it can't be used no more, and ideally, what we need is a situation where we're using material and equipment that enhances longevity and service. Whatever money we're spending, we want to minimize. Real quick here, a couple of the companies on the left coast have both the British, they just got these in, again, these are wholesalers, so we'll keep an eye on this and see what they get in the way of inventory. Their British desert combat boat, standard military issue are coming in right now, and I'm looking at the sizes, I was trying to get a size range here. Looks like the average size ranges are going to be 8.5, 10, and 11, which are actually the middle sizes. So I'll have more information on those. Those have come in and they're going to be showing up on the market in, you know, well, probably right about now. Another thing is, boy, I don't know how excited, I mentioned these the other day. These are Italian IRS Gore-Tex coats. They actually are a pretty good cut. They're in the sage green and they're about $14 a unit and they go up to double X. which is not bad. Actually, hold on here, they might go up to 3X. If they go up to 3X, it means they do. Oh, they go from large to 3X. Obviously, there are really big Italian IRS agents over there in terms of pot belly stokes, but the cool thing is, if you want a little extra room, these are in excellent condition. They have two pistol pockets built into the coat and the liners. which come with the unit and the unit price is $14 plus whatever shipping. So just a heads up if anybody needs any, it's a Gore-Tec raincoat. It's got a zip-in liner, has pistol pockets built into internal vest, pistol pockets built into the coat, the Gore-Tec unit, and built into the liner. So I guess if one wasn't enough, you got another one for backup. How do you like that? I guess maybe you can do double secret police pistol packing. But anyway, actually I'm very familiar with these. I talked to the guy who brought them in. The interesting thing about these is like the East German, Romanian, and the Polish combat uniforms. They have slip pistol pockets built in the same way right into the front of the coat that a lot of people miss typically. But it's also a convenient way. to carry one of those little pocket pistols we were just talking about a little bit earlier because typically the PPK and Makarov type or about that size range handgun was common for issue uh... in this case it's the Italians who knows what they were carrying I'm gonna have to look at these things to see what they're like but for the Italian IRS only the finest Gorotex We'll find out more about those but the size part size is right and I like the cut of it and not only that I can get it for the girls would love these because they have liners and Their Gore-Tex will keep them dry and we'll keep them warm. Okay, it's that simple Not that we need that in 180 degree weather down as far as the warm part goes but for the 108 degree weather also The the other thing as I've said before socks and headgear uh... in surplus guys movies warzer eating this stuff up socks are going in the extra take another stupid jump in the wholesale and they shouldn't but they're going to all the surplus inventories have been eaten up and now we're looking at newer inventories number one and whatever is really mil real military not some aftermarket thing real military inventory especially in the cold war stuff is twice three times what it used to be. In headgear, it's just non-existent. It's hodgepodge bits and pieces. And even there, it's the extreme large, extreme small, but none of the standard or mid-size range stuff at all. So as we can find it, we can get brand new aftermarket or brand new made in, you know, China Sport, made wherever, but you're also paying brand new prices because of the re-indexing with the devaluation of the currency. That's the other problem. Surplus is not what it used to be in many ways. They never thought they'd run out of e-tools and never thought they'd run out of ponchos. And guess what? They've run out of both. As far as the cheap cheap, well I can get a real European e-tool for, you know, five dollars. A real one, not a copy. Now they're making copies in China of the German, the Swiss, and even the Italian e-tools to supply the surplus market so it looks like you're getting surplus when in reality you're not. Just to give you an idea there what the you know the Chinese slave labor is doing for him right now and that also in the Vietnamese slave labor So just a heads up if you see it and you got something your area where somebody's get rid of stuff at yard sales grab it especially if it's while my brother was in Desert Dust 1. Well, if he's got a bunch of cool gear there like we did the other day of yard sale over here in Chelsea, Michigan, we got a whole pile of gear for pennies on the dollar. Well, if they want to get rid of it, they'll usually be buying it later because it'll be, oh man, I wish I had my hat from Desert Storm 1. Oh, I need to find one now. At first, they'll listen to their wife who tells them to get rid of everything. And then after a while the nostalgia sets in and they wish they hadn't burned their clothes or given their clothes away or sold them. So they have to go find a variation thereof, etc. etc. I've seen this over and over and over again. Well, if they want to get rid of their stuff because they're being pushed to do it, grab it. Don't try to talk them out of it. Don't try to talk them out of doing it. The hell with that. If you walk away and all of a sudden they'll get their panties twisted from another direction, then they'll do it again. So grab it while you can. If it's cheap, grab all the spares. We're trying to outfit troops. We're trying to get something so we can wear it down and save our better equipment for later when the time comes. Again, use what you got. Use it until it can't be used no more and then put it on a stunt dummy for later. Oh, by the way, don't forget, Coleman's Abrams tanks, available, $300 apiece. Yeah, you remember those silkscreen dummies that were full-size? They've got them brand new in the box never issued So if you need a pocket Abrams for a little project here and there and from 100 yards out you can't tell the difference and 18 inches deep 7 feet tall and 10 and a half feet wide. Hey Abrams tank for $300 can't beat the price Anyway, that's at Coleman's. And we actually have a picture. See what I'm talking about, guys. This is part of the deception process and countermeasures was done back during the Cold War. Ideas people came up with and they applied the idea. So again, your tax dollars at work. And we can get some pretty cool trinkets out of the process. We could actually deploy an Abrams down there on the border with you. That workout. Okay, too. As long as they don't turn sideways and look at it. I didn't know the Abrams was only 18 inches deep. Yes, it's the economy model. What can we say? It is dehydrated. It got left out. The sun too long. Yeah, don't worry. That water will get bigger. Well, we are at the top. We're going to hear the music and we've got, let's see, we should have Craig from Forbidden Knowledge coming up next, guys. Stay tuned. I don't know if Craig's going to be live or if he'll be a can because I know he's traveling around the country. He's been busy with the different shows. Anyway, pay attention and don't forget Craig has Copper Rounds for the best price in the country. Copper Rounds, including the Minuteman Copper Round available. 20 count rolls available through forbiddenknowledge.com. God bless the Republic. That is a new world order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. And we are on the march, both day and night. Thank you, sir. We're going to take off for now, guys. Ed's taking over. Craig's going to be up next. And then we'll be back 8 to 9, even the intel report. Bye-bye. Your mind is your primary weapon. Yes we are the sons, yes we are the sons, the sons of liberty. And for which I will sweep next at all.
