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 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. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. Invist 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 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 and dead. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. and your daughters visit doctors so their children will be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic 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 fought to keep what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Dill the land of the good evening ladies and gentlemen. This is the evening intelligence report. I'm our corny One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the line. Occupied territories West Central East and South. Ladies and gentlemen you are listening to a... On LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com IndianaFreedomTalkRadio.com We are on... AM&FM micro stations, CB base stations, and ultra-net technologies east and west of the Mississippi, along with Alaska Hallmark Network from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida. From the bottom of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico, headed to Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both the third, the fifth, the pit, and our friends in the recall state of Colorado, waving to the left coast, where we have, that's right, the great state of Jefferson. Oh, Jefferson, Jefferson, Jefferson. Nichols, dollars, and two dollar, two dollar bills, yeah, coins and two dollar bills. And reinforcing that with silver Jefferson currency. And it is a beautiful, well, it's a wet day out there. Have we got Don with us? Yes. and it finally rained. About the time I was doing the middle of the two hour block, we had moisture coming out of the head. We were out in the air and taking care of tools, but everything is secure. The kittens are in the kitten cage and everybody is happy. So, Don, what's it like in your neck of the woods? What's jumping off the wall up there and that stretch of the planet? Well, that natural phenomenon is rain falling from the sky. On the side bar there, they mentioned that over the last week talking about water. How can you have any value to it? It just falls from the sky. To hear this on the 21st day of Year of Our Lord 2014. Let's see, it might be raining before the end of the hour and it looked like it wanted to and then it got sunny again and then it left Michigan and sometimes it is raining up in the air, Tuscical, Michigan. Again, the 21st day of August. Things are going on. circles, mark, not, try saying that a few times twice or three times fast. There were people from New York, there were people from California in suburb there, there were people moving in, you know, what one might call agitators or, you know, demonstrators or communist agitators. There's another way to put it, you know, you've probably heard that in some kind of film from some, you know, redneck sheriff somewhere. We can't let these foreign countries into the county or in this case, you know, market. It just might be ISIS. We can't have ISIS in there. They already showed us their sign. Yeah, you know, the cardboard and paper and Crayola. Israeli, Israeli. I'm sure there's a synagogue around there somewhere. So it's probably true that Israeli, Israeli is right there, peeing in the pool or even as we speak. Oh, they were. They were. Yeah, otherwise yes, will the horn ever end? Will the terror never sweep? No. As in yawn. I think the biggest most interesting thing about this this whole thing is we've gone from a local protest to the latest in Israeli international terrorists who attack everybody but the Israelis. You know I kind of asked this you know, let's ask a basic question here of everybody. If ISIS is going to be in the United States, then pretty much all these open targets like synagogues and Jewish schools, I mean they're just upright for hits, aren't they? If you compare it at all to any action in the Middle East, why the domes should be falling, the little spikes should be zooming off like rockets and smoke should dinky little mushroom clouds not because it was atomic just because of the amount of force and how hard that that's what makes a mushroom how hard that explosion jumped up off of the ground. You're not seeing it are you Mark? No I'm just confused about that but of course they're talking about shopping malls being attacked of course it was brought by George. Others have been sending emails out especially the regimented operations that are out there are as well as israeli israeli so uh... well i'm sorry it's supposed to be the muslim terrorist group will the navy but now all these uh... israelis and uh... jewish people with reckless abandon if they were inside the u.s. why would they bother with the shopping mall i mean come on a running man it's your clean on their little clean on saying you're a man who's with a thousand throats in one night And, I mean, what would be stopping them? If ISIS is in the US, they should be slaughtering the Israelis and the Jewish population here because, well, that's really who they're in with. You see them surrounding Dearborn there, don't you? Yeah. That little enclave of Arabia and Dearborn. And what's fascinating about this is overseas it's the same way, though. I'm so confused. ISIS, you know, Israeli-Israeli, they attack everybody but the Israelis. And yet there's supposed to be this radical Islamic slash anti-Jewish faction that the Jewish mob are always flapping their yap about. But it's strange that the Jewish mob aren't the ones being attacked by ISIS. Everybody else is, but not the Jewish population. Why is that? I wonder. I'm just totally perplexed. Maybe not. Get my drift. So, yeah, any moment now, any moment the Israelis will attack. Oh, I'm sorry, was it that Israeli-Israeli? You know, the ISIS sponsored by the Israelis organized by the Israelis? No, no, Mark, any moment now there will be a real mushroom cloud in America and the Israelis will say that, oh, it was ISIS, Iziz. It must have been one of the ones we left over there from when we were there in Iraq. They must have found it in a Humvee. in a little box. Yeah, and everybody missed it. It was over in the corner there because they got hold of that building that was supposed to be where everything was, but if they got hold of the building, it's like, you know, again, it's the structure. But it was one of those facilities. Big deal, what's your point? It's called a warehouse. And if it was, we did basically tear it to pieces looking for one of those weapons of mass deception. didn't we? Are you telling me that now all of a sudden after these years we invaded Iraq, murdered all kinds of Iraqis, but then we just happened to go blind and stupid and didn't know how to do our job and completely missed this? It was over in the corner, it was that big red box with the yellow X's on it and the, you know, the radiological symbols, but we all missed it because we were so busy looking for something that was more deceiving. Don't you know? You see how stupid that sounds? Yes, the whole point. We've gone from a cop and some character on the street, and the argument may not have even happened anywhere near the way it's claimed. I would argue instead that guys it's simply as we said two individuals this happens all over the country stupid garbage, thugalicious on one side, thugs in uniforms on the other everybody got into a pissing match and then the game players manipulated accordingly it's not hard to accept we've seen it for years we've watched this for decades why would it be any different now oh no no no now they're just doing play acting no they don't have to why? Hey, do you really think if they wanted you not to know about this, do you really think you'd even know about this, it would be so contained, it would be like there never was a helicopter from Mexico machining gun American soil? Yeah, it's like the, well, it's like you've got a case with the black cop shooting the white unarmed kid in Utah. Absolutely no coverage on it at all. Several people have brought this up. Has anybody talked about it? No, other than the independent media slash on the internet. Is there film? Yep. Can everybody watch it over and over again like back into the left with the assassination of John F. Kennedy? Yep. Is it being screamed from the rooftops? Hell no. You have to dig to find it. Not even brought to the forefront, is it? Yeah, that's why, as we've said, it's not that they have to fabricate. They just have to wait for the... In other words, it's like... Winston in George Orwell's 1984, remember when he was making up Ogilbie, the war hero? And he's going through pictures and he's, oh, and there's the one, he finally likes the picture of this guy and he's looking at the record and then he's faking out the record and the whole action that never took place. It's not that the person didn't exist and it's not that he didn't die, he just went through the available names and the available incidents and then re-engineered it accordingly. The incident takes place. The rest of the activity around the incident is stirred up through fiction. See, that's the part where everybody goes, everybody's making some of this too complicated. Now Sandy, Crooked Hook, yeah. That, there's too many indicators. But everything is all of a sudden supposedly play acting and it's like, no, no, it doesn't, just a reverse. Listen to the old thing about don't let any crisis go, go with it on used, it's useful, it's an exciting event, it can be manipulated, it's playtime. Think about it. It's not that hard. On the other hand, again, the border was interesting to yap about for a bit until everybody started getting serious, the border disappeared and everything's gone to Pimpleicious here, to this one dot on the map. Isn't it amazing how they've you know, just like Josh Agabore's movies in the you know in the television screen Josh Agabore slaps a cop What was the picture in the news for three days a picture of her getting out of the car with her breasts almost falling out of her blouse? Whoo, what a combination Think about it and that's where she was older too But it was the idea of Josh Agabore the idea that it could distract everybody and point everybody towards some silly event or some my you know myopic event while larger, more important activities were taking place. Think about it, same thing we're seeing right now. And of course then on the have the spin-offs, it's like the weapons of mass deception scam. Which by the way, look, we're plugging right in again. Now when the Israelis attack us, everybody needs to be ready to point out that the Israelis attacked us, because that's who's going to do it. If anything comes out of this, it's the Israelis. It's that simple and it will know it's ISIS again. Why would they bother with us when the Israeli if somebody had a nuke and Israelis are a lot smaller and just getting it into the ballpark is all you need You know like generally and it would do all the damage necessary Why bother taking it all the way around the world? Yeah, you see Which would serve more of a purpose? I mean after all if something happens over here the ground army That's been going and attacking our allies. You know the Israeli created the Israeli financed the Israeli demanded Is is that we were supposed to fight side by side with to kill Syrian Christians? That's all overseas guys They're interested in over here Now the Israelis are for stirring the pot because then they can get the dunderheads to do the knuckle drag like they did, you know, they figured 9-11 all over again. You guys gonna kill IS IS? You mean the guys you were supposed to fight side by side with or another bunch? What? I don't think about that. I don't think about that. I don't think about that. I don't think about that. I don't think about that. I don't think about that. I don't think about that. I don't think about that. I don't think about that. I don't think about that. I don't think about that. I don't think about that. I don't think about that. I don't think about that. I don't think about that. I don't think about that. I don't think about that. I don't think about that. I don't think about that. I don't think about that. I don't think about that. I don't think about that. I don't think about So apparently the Israelis are gonna try and pull something off after they've gotten it across the border or already smuggled in with you know diplomatic you know, Technology diplomatic pouches. Oh, wait a minute mark. We're in the preseason football now. They can't interfere with that. Besides we should be we can be it would be a communist plot to interfere with football and not only that but the but it's an demonstration of their homophobia against football. because we're waiting for the first preseason game expo where all the players stop and are going to be you know, tongue-ing each other this time. We already had the queer football players last year swapping spit and you know, rubbing lips, you know, doing the big rubber lip thing. So it's tongue time now. We're going to get to the next step and open sodomy. And you know, sodomy football. So, not an if, and I'm not making this up. You know what I mean? Just so remember, so you can get the game, hopefully get the queers whipped up. Of course, queers are in the middle of this, but, oh, oh, did you see that? We had the big opportunity here. Look, Queerdom was gonna make us a big step forward. It was all interfered with. We need to go kill ISIS. Did you see what happened? Interfered with the number one queer game, the big one, the opener, and we had all kinds of special events planned. Oh, the queer cheerleader rats were the guys with the chaps only and their butts hanging out, all done in rainbow stripes under each cheek. I can't get that picture out of my mind. Doing it all to the village people thing. Macho macho man. And then the guy with the football player with just the football armor up above and the chaps on down below with all the body parts dangling out. He's doing the disco type dancing routine. Of course it's done in the group that choreographs. You got six-year-old and then you actually got a full football team. There we go. They got the upper body arm, it's all rainbow painted. They've got rainbow on the helmet, big rainbow with the Hello Kitty on the side. Stop, please stop. Hey, I'm going to turn the channel, Mark. No, you won't be allowed to turn the channel because it's a dynamic opportunity for football to go the next nine yards. There you go. Go for the first down. Go for the first down. Go ahead. Go for it. Yeah, we got it. I bet the new rules, whoever loses has to bend over first. Yeah, I don't want to be the center of that game. You know what I mean? What's the center do? Oh, you don't want to know. So we'll lead to the proverbial. What is that eternal question? What are they doing at the bottom of that pile? That's right. And there wasn't even a football over on that side of the field, sir. Yeah, yeah, I know. I don't think I'll ever watch football ever again, Mike. I think you cured me. It's the Dallas Queer Boy. It's the Dallas Cowboys. It's Dallas Queer Boy. You know, cheerleaders. You know, chubettes. We'll call them the chubettes. What's that going, Tex-Max? Oh, oh, not mine. Just... I just had to add that one in. Since I got you guys on the line, I've got one of the polymer AR lowers. What I was wondering is, is there any way to cure the sticky aluminum bag deal? Like the mag pools and all the plastic mags and you know, they run straight through but the metal ones have a little adhesion Yeah, I mean because it's tight that's all because Remember the finish on your metal mags is either you know an anodized, you know phosphate Well, it's a phosphate finish in one form or another but the anodized finish still has a rough crystalline structure to kind of simulate You know park rising That's what they originally did. That's what that spec was. It was to match up with the military. It had three colors, light, medium, and slight black. When they came up with that finish, that's why that finish was required. How many mags do you have? Sometimes we strive to practice proper English. How many mags are in your possession, sir? Oh, so there you are? Not enough. I need to get more. If you've got four and maybe you've got a buddy who bought four in the springtime and has been cycling them through, what Mark's trying to point out is the hard finish against the hard finish smoothest thing. Smooth is, that's a high form of English there. Smoothes things out the tops of that finish. And if you're trying to put brand new mags in, that might be why there's such drag on them. But if you knock that shina off, just bumping it in and out of a real metal well, just knocked a whole bunch of other magazines into shape, so to speak. I tried some mags at a gun show in it. They were ex-military and they were pretty well worn and they still stuck a little bit. They could get them out real easy but they just didn't drop free like the tabcos and the magpoles and stuff. You're just saying this takes a little time. There's going to be a little adhesion because it is a metal, it's a crystalline metal finish. And it's just the way it works. Again, typically you do a sweep with your hand anyway. When you do the release, it's convenient that it drops with gravity, but remember your left hand should be doing a sweep to drop the mag. Just not the practice. Yesterday you talked about a website, it's called airsoft-dash. www.clu.com. And only about as little as $889 a piece and the most expensive one, well, there were some that were up to $100, if you want to spend that. I don't think so. But they had a couple, most of them were between $889 and $13 on sale. And you go to www.airsoft-airsoft.com. club.com and then the fourth line from the bottom of the category section says specials. Go to that and there's three pages of specials. It's the best price for a shoulder bag utility bag you could find for you know like a ditty bag for making up for any of your weapons for just going out and patrolling the yard or you know like if you want to go walk the back 40. You can carry water, you can carry food, you can carry mags, ammo, pyrotechnics, poncho, everything right there. When you're done, get back up on the rack. Go ahead, caller. This is Pluffy. I have a suggestion about the sticky magazine thing, which I did on both a set me and my AR with a synthetic receiver. But as magazines weren't really sliding easily, or as easily as I thought they ought to, so I got out a candle. I smoked the magazines where they go in and out, the fiction points, and once I established where they were pretty much all rubbing, I got out some 1000 grit emery paper and basically just did some polishing a little bit at a time. Didn't really take away hardly any of the material, but it sure did make them slide in and out easier. Yeah, again, the idea is that's tuning where you're tuning up the magazine well, which works just fine. Again, very slow, very patient. It's called lapping. You only take enough to actually clear just a little and then back to test and do it again. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Sneak up on that one. But it's true. It's true. Another question I had was, what about web gear? I'm looking for some suspenders. I'm looking for some extra suspenders. What's the best place to look for Alice gear? Because, when you look back into that magazine well, you don't see any marks from sandpaper. You don't see anything like swirl marks, do you? It looks polished, doesn't it? Yes. I started with 400 grit emery paper on the highest points. Then I used 1000 grit. It's quite smooth. If you do that, again, To start with the 400, that's a confident man there. He knows what he wants to do. You've probably done something similar to it before, even just to play with different grits of paper. If you do that and you leave swirl marks in there from sandpaper, you're leaving drag for a magazine. That's my point. If you get up to that 1,000 or 2,000 grit, that will shine when it's done like it just came out of the mold. and offer no drag, no points of huge valleys or crests to grab any little hunks of the magazine as it slides in or slides out. One thing I did try, just to see if it would make a difference, I used a magazine to see if the rounds under compression from the spring would make the mag bulge differently. There's very little difference in these synthetic magazines. I, a change, surprisingly wasn't stupid enough to the magazine deal that they had. I forget where now. I got the knapsack full of magazines. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That, uh, come on. Yeah, but the, uh, the fully loaded magazine did not bulge really any differently. So that would still be something that might be worth trying in case somebody wanted to try the same thing, lapping the, uh, max. Nope. Thanks for bringing that up. but cdnninvestments.com and those are the ones that had the backpack full of magazines, AK or AR, which was a good buy. It was an excellent buy. Right time, right place, everybody took advantage of those and ended up in pretty good shape. I'm looking, and I'll tell you what, I looked under suspenders, and I'm going to look under Alice gear here, hold on a second, I was looking at keep shooting Oh, let's see, Alice Gear. Let's see what they have. They're listed under Alice Gear. It should be something other than Alice. Nope, nothing there. Okay, well they have suspenders, but unfortunately, mostly what they have in suspenders that keep shooting is, in fact, pretty well all the pre... Well, you know, like the post-World War II, but, you know, pre-Alice Gear stuff. Maybe for the European rigs. Czech, Austrian... They do have some Norwegian army suspenders, but I don't know if those are effect hold on here I'm gonna look real quick the French ones French yoke suspenders These are a copy of the US Vietnam era 8 suspenders that we talked about They're five dollars a set, but I'm pretty sure if you look around just kind of look through all the sales sections We should be able to find Alice why suspenders out there if we're at least this price if not cheaper But $4.95 a piece. Now the FAMAS ones are well made. There's nothing fancy about them. They're in the canvas, not in nylon typically. Although the later ones, the last ones in OD Green were nylon. I know that. The FAMAS stuff came out in force here about 10 years ago. And it was the original web gear to match up with the new FAMAS bullpup. The web gear itself will work with the other US pistol belts etc etc. So that would be one solution, but it looks like if I'm right. Oh, yeah, this is cool I'll tell you what you may not be used to these But they have the six point It's Norwegian Army field gear suspenders, but this is in the World War two six point pattern the two clip connectors to the front and A set of Y, it comes to an X in the back, in the middle of your back, and then it has two connectors to the rear. Their hanger hook clips, typical of what you see on the Vietnam and Alice gear. $5.95 a set for those, and that's not a bad set of suspenders actually. It doesn't have any hanger points or connect points up on the shoulder, but it would be another solution. Again, they don't have any Alice, but I mean, I've been knowing, I don't... Don't have maybe the right coordinates. I need to find another search mechanism. KeepShooting.com. KeepShooting.com. You might want to check them. That's one. Also, coalmans.com. Check coalmans.com and see if they have any suspenders there. They were a drug in the market. They were everywhere. Just the regular pistol belt for your standard regular Odie Green belt. We had the matching suspenders and I've recommended those. In fact, they had them in bulk even where you can buy them quantity and buy them cheap. But it doesn't look like they're jumping out at me here off the counter in the last couple of days and I haven't aggressively looking for them. So whoever finds them first, we need to pass the information on anyway. So I'll see what we can find. And I'll even call a few companies tomorrow because I have had an interest in them and there's people been asking like yourself. And we need to track them down. So everybody start looking. In fact, in the chat room, you might even have somebody that's already gone, Mark, I found some. Now, the other place to look? Uh-oh, wait a minute. www.mplus.com, one of a kind and close out items. I love surplus. You know that. Of course, one of a kind might not be good. Anyway, no, I don't see suspenders. Well, they've got the Bianchi chest harnesses there. But I would point out that Sportsman's Guide. Look to see what Sportsman's Guide is. And of course, the one company I really don't like at all, but you never know, they might have something decent because they do buy surplus junk, is Cheaper Dirt. Yeah, dirt as we should call them. The reason is, since they bellied over and flopped on their hind end as quickly as they could when they were trying to grab the guns, I have no use for the person. I'll try not to do business with them and I'll try not to give them any business. That's something I'll never forget. Somebody does stuff like that, we cannot forgive them anymore in that nonsense. Gottlieb did the same thing. I've noticed he's flapping as yet, but he's pretty well stayed in the background. We got it, we just ran to ourselves, they're going to take off. What a pain. And you know, that's, you know, same thing again. Oh, you pointed this out yesterday, recording yesterday or today of Pat Robertson talking about a need for the R word there. What are you talking about, riot? Yeah, I wasn't talking about riot, but he was talking about a revolution. We need a revolution. Of course, my problem is that he uses that word. It's like a lot of these people, they want to use that word and show pictures of the colonial fighting. But then all of a sudden, oh, so you mean we really do need to get rid of them. Oh, wait a minute. I was just being figurative. Well, then be figurative, but don't use any of these analogies. Don't use any of these references. Show some limp, you know, dink weenie slash Hello Kitty creature. Well, actually, my little unicorn thing would be appropriate. Because otherwise, don't tell me about how you're going to be fighting this and aggressing because it just didn't happen. It's not in the stars, as they say, with these creatures. Mark, I've been looking all over, but it just seemed too expensive. Some in camouflage color, but it's a wet weather Parker with pan not OD green but in camouflage What were their parka? Well your best bet is Gore-Tex in fact I was going to mention something here by the way on ponchos Heads up for everybody. I know that a batch of German or forgive me Austrian Nylon ponchos just hit the country guys. They've been completely out of those things. It's hard to find them in general but they just had a quantity come in the average wholesale price is about six dollars. That means that your retail price will be probably around twelve to fifteen dollars. But these are not these are not foreign copies these are an actual military Austrian OD ripstop poncho copy of the US military you know they embraced the same pattern. So these are, they just hit the market, they are going to be out there around the country here pretty soon at all the different locations. And again, the price will probably be whatever the wholesale is, it always doubles. So if they're like $7 or $6 wholesale, there's only two or three carriers that got these. And they've already come in, they've already got them out of the cans, and they've already got them listed, they just had to get a fly gun this last night. So we will be seeing some ponchos. Now in the reindeer, the Gore-Tex, German Simtex, or the Austrian Simtex and OD grain, the Woodland Camouflage Italian, not to be confused with Vegetata, the Woodland Italian is coming in, and there's also some, oh we'll see what was the other one, Gore-Tex. Well, there's Fleckturn, there's Fleckturn Gore-Tex, that's right now in country and it's in force. Prices, though, are going to be a lot more expensive than just plain old rain rubber suits, but the Gore-Tex lasts longer and works better. So that would be your choice, probably in the Fleckturn. It depends on the camouflage you're already standardized on. Mark, what you know the thing is, I'm making a statement this November. We really want to look for it because around November going down to Matagorda County and going to do some turkey shooting on some wild turkey. I thought you were looking for government employees. No, but I don't want to buy my turkey from Auschwitz Farms for some Monsanto plant. Great. The turkey that doesn't look like a turkey, it has such a large breast. In fact, it all looks like it's nothing but a breast. Yeah, scary. Well, Mark, another thing like this week I quit smoking. It's like on my fourth day and I'll tell you one thing I feel like that guy in airplanes say this is a bad day to quit smoking and it's like I felt my biochemistry go out of whack, Mark. Well, every day is a bad day to quit smoking. Well, anyway, don't worry. My dad, when he quit, he just quit everything all at once. Of course, he only had one lung since World War II. He smoked for at least 20 some more years after World War two guys and by the way He's remembered 92 years old this year actually last year, so he's heading towards 93 now Just to give you an idea. I don't know if he dies now what the smoking got him Well God promises everybody 70 years, so he's 20 something years over it. Yeah, exactly three score and ten and if you are a lot fortunate for score That's how it reads Because the reason I'm stopping smoking is because I know when he asks the fan to have the tobacco when the time comes. Use it for a burger? Yeah, I have tobacco here. I have tobacco canned away. I'll be there in a little while, Mark. Yeah, he does. Dude, he's got a can of tobacco. No, I mean a number 10 can. You know, we can can up our own stuff. I have cans that are packed up just like the old army A, B, and C units they used to make for the platoons. And one of them has, for instance, the little pints of liquor. And it's a mix of brandies and inexpensive vodkas and stuff, depending on what it is. Again, what I picked out at the moment. And the other is tobacco. And what I did is I took roll-your-own pouches, roll-your-own paper, matches. Everybody always forgets matches. Guys in the prison system, everybody I've ever... Hey, hey, let me get a light. Yeah, exactly. And because of this, like, no, how about a pack of... You know, that's what most smokers finally figured out. A pack of matches, simple paper book matches, guys, costs about like a dollar 17 if you buy it from the prison commissary. And it's the same one you buy out here for whatever price at the dollar store, you know, a dollar an item. Well, it's cheaper to go here. Why don't you just take a match rather than giving somebody else a suck off your cigarette to light theirs and you keep losing tobacco. See how that works? And nobody ever thinks to invest in matches or something to burn stuff with. So I would point out that that's one of the reasons that when you do pack up the stuff, put matches, Bic lighters, everything you can think of, the accoutrements that go along with the cigarettes. And that's how we pack up the cans and then these cans are sealed. They're not like just plastic lid top. We've got an actual number 10 canner. And so we hand crank them shut and they're CO2 or vacuum sealed depending on which system we use. And... What's weight? How much tobacco can you get? Oh, you can do two, well you gotta remember you gotta make sure you put rolling paper in there but that doesn't take up much space. I don't know, two full pillows will fit in a number ten can. Two regular rolling, you know like, well what, they gotta be... Some bags, some people burn in a week. Yeah, well, but they'll learn real quick not to. Let me point that out. You know, that's another thing, is a lot of people waste tobacco, not so much now than we saw maybe ten years ago. But I would point that out about tobacco. Like in prison, when you know that you can't go to a store to buy something because you only get store every two weeks, you learn very quickly to discipline your tobacco usage. You ration it and you guard it. Yeah, yeah. The key part is actually those two aren't tied in. Number one, rationing for your own use. Number two, make sure everything's locked up because one of the first things you'll find missing is the tobacco. and then all your soap. Look across the way there and here's somebody grinning while he's looking at you smoking a big fat cigarette. He didn't know what I did. Exactly. So again, common sense, the tobacco issue, you may not smoke, but think about this, you already know how it is to fiend about stuff like that. I would also recommend, and this is something to get more value for the tobacco as far as usage, but it doesn't satisfy as many people, is pipe tobacco. Now, I would point out that anybody and everybody that needs a, that wants to smoke and is beaming and just can't quit and just... They're not going to turn their back on pipe tobacco. No. And it's a lot cheaper. Good point to be made. Another point to be made here, but we're getting close to the top and I didn't mean to interrupt your mark, but George, have you ever quit before? No. Okay. How long have you smoked? Oh, since I was 12. I didn't ask, that doesn't answer my question. How long have you smoked? Are you 17 now? Five years? 27? I'm 37 now. Okay, okay. Everybody that quits says, oh, I'll never start again, but I've had people around me all my life that can smoke like six or nine cigarettes a year. And someone will pick up a cigarette and it's the first one I've seen them smoke in like three months. And then they don't smoke another one for a month. And I figure, oh, I can do that. But if you get all the nicotine out of your body, you guys, many of you that have quit before know this. When you pick up that cigarette out of celebration or frustration and I just need a cigarette right now and you smoke that cigarette, feel that nicotine, feel that weight in your body and then think to yourself, do I want to be subject to this all the time? because George, it comes out over a few days. You don't feel that weight lifted from you. But if you were to pick up a cigarette tomorrow and smoke it, you'd feel that nicotine in you. You would have that sensation because you're clean of it now and you would recognize it. After you've been smoking for three or four days, you're just used to it again. It just drags on you. Don't start again. That's the advice here. And for many of you who've started, smoking and then quit and then started and quit. It's like heroin, I'm told. I've quit smoking a number of times. I quit smoking once for two years. I quit smoking once for 30 days on a bet, once for a summer, the same reason. Every time you quit, it's harder. George, again, think of it like fire. You don't want to go there. That's the advice in that department. You can say, Don, I'll never smoke again. But many people have said that so that the advice here is you know bear that in mind and when you take that first cigarette and smoke it feel that weight in you because you'll know what it feels like if you haven't smoked in a week or a month you'll recognize that nicotine in you and Feel that sensation and say do I want to live with this all the time? The answer should be no. Well Don you know the first case I couldn't harvest I had a major headache. Oh, it's miserable. Yeah, it's miserable. Caffeine or rather nicotine withdrawal, they say, is as hard for some people as quitting heroin. And even quitting heroin gets harder and harder, I'm told. Well, it's hard to help you. I'll tell you what. An old doctor told me years ago one time when I quit on one of those 90-day things, I told him, I quit smoking. He says, don't say you quit. Say you There's a different mentality to work into your mind there because you can quit a job but go back to another one. I quit working there instead of I stopped to myself. Don, guys, when you quit smoking, does the food taste so much better? That goes over to how long have you been smoking. To a certain extent, it will improve, but to a great extent for smoking for 20, 30, 40 years. You guys, you've destroyed a lot of your old-life senses there. You have basically killed them. One of God's most fascinating gifts, your sense of smell, your sense of smell invokes so many is keyed to so many different parts of your brain. You guys, smoking destroys that. It does. Most of your sense of taste comes from smell, George, and if your dinner is tasting good, I'm happy for you. walked out. I really think it's just a shade because there's plenty of things you can invite Governor Perry on and take him to jail, but they protect each other. It's a iffy. You're right. They're more an old boys ball together and it's just they're being twins fighting over one toy right now. Are they done? Yeah. I was just reading, I think it was on the They also took his concealment license and for the two indictment they took away his concealment license. He can't buy a gun and he can't buy ammo. He's under indictment. They go to the felonies. Right. He's got an army around him, unlike you or me. See, that's the thing. It's just like all of this. is awfully reasonably priced notoriety to set everything up for the next election and all of a sudden we're all supposed to go, wow, you know that guy that was usually dining with the Mexican president about every other month, actually every month in the gubernatorial mansion, you know that guy who had no problem leaving all the restrictions on your second amendment in Texas, like how about the open carry issue that everybody's talking about? which he hasn't jumped in and said, boy we need to throw out that restriction on open carry. No, he's all just, it's plastic. He's always been plastic to me and he's plastic right now. Yup, that's the thing. Anything counts, it's a lie. This play acting here is pretty cheap because the guardsmen, you've already heard today, if you read the articles, The guardsmen have already been told they can't carry their personal weapons even when they're off duty. Now we're going to send them down where the cartels are and where the cartels want to threaten people or where they buy people. And then we're telling them that well when you guardsmen after we have you in uniform up there on the border, out there on the border you can't carry a gun when you're off duty and you're at the hotel or you're at your home. This means we might find you tomorrow only as tall as the distance from your chin to the top of your head. Exactly. And you won't be saying much. Because after all they're gonna they've already said that they're gonna prosecute or you know again slash persecute guys. This is what I was talking about before with the Arizona Guard when they were put down on the border. They disarmed them while the guys quietly carried their own weapons. And then afterwards there was a rumor that they did and they were threatening to, you know, Article 15 and Courts Marshall and send them to prison and all this other garbage to try and tear it. It was all these pencil neck pieces of trash, all these plastic pieces of filth that are in the bureaucracy. And that's what's running this operation down on the border. It's going to be no different in Texas than it was in Arizona. And the only thing they're going to do is grease the tracks to get more infantry in country as quickly as they can while everybody is, you know, led to believe something's being done. This is no different from when they said they're going to build the wall in areas, you know, the rest of the wall that was going to go across the border. And then they stopped it and said, oh, we're going to do the Israeli virtual wall, which means the Israeli drug trade would be supported without stopping it, which it did. And then even the virtual wall disappeared. So they never did anything. It was all fictional BS from the get-go. Playing it out like a big long rubber band, stretching it as far as they could. And I don't think it's any different right now with regard to what they're doing. As far as him, hey, if you and I got busted and first of all somebody was threatening us and you know that they're supposedly this cartel thing was after you, and you got screwed like this, you really would be screwed. You'd have to decide, well, do I take the chance and arm myself and then be persecuted later? Well, you'd have to, which then put you in a double-edged sword constantly. And once again, they put you between the drug cartels that are the government and the drug cartels that are the shysters out in the field. And that's what they're doing. That would be anybody else. With him, it's like, oh, so he can't do this and that. But look around him. Does he have an army that guards him all the time? Yes. Do you have an army that's going to guard you all the time? No. No. You see, we're all peasants. That's the difference between royalty playing this scam and wasting our time because it's all drama. I personally think it's part of this soap opera south of the border stuff. It's playing for two sides, not just for our side. This is also play acting for the other side too. hotels down there you know i mean i i think anything is more like personally you know apart national guard commander and i couldn't my troops could not be equipped and have it about arms or anything i would i would arrest and court martial that pencil like bureaucrat well the thing about it is you know i was thinking about this story had the hour break as i'd get some work done but you know one of the things we had really talked about is here's here's what's happening number one the economies in the toilet isn't it guys pretty much. Now, you got a whole bunch of what they did with this thousand men as they asked for volunteers. Now, a percentage like the cops that have the cop shop, you got to remember they're double dipping when they go for the guard. Because what they'll do is they'll tell the chief, yeah, you know, well, I got to go do this. Now, I've worked as a guard rep, you know, national, well, not national guard, but reserve and guard rep when I worked at the U, because I was also a Union Stewart, remember? I've talked about this many times. And the way it's supposed to work is when you go to drills, if you go for your two week mobilization, no matter who you are, young or old, you're supposed to be paid if there's a discrepancy. There's two ways they do this, depending on the states. One is you get paid the difference that you're not paid. In other words, the government pays you so much. But it's not really, it's typically not near your regular paycheck or whatever job you have. Like soldier pay. Yeah, it's soldier pay. Because you're working 24 hours a day. In reality, that's what they're telling you when they're mobilizing them right now. Well, the thing is that they typically have an arrangement where you file the paperwork and then they make up the difference through your employer. I will guarantee that if a cop is volunteered to go to this whole thing with the guard deployment, he's going to get full guard pay. He's probably an E5, E6, E7. He's probably got anywhere from 12 to 22 years service time. At a minimum, he'll be 12. Maybe he's got a couple tours, who knows. But the average is going to be up around the three-quarter mark for close to retirement. They're going to make massive retirement points. They've been authorized. You've got to think of all the things you're going to benefit from here. They're going to get massive retirement. They're going to get massive promotion points. They're going to be mobilized for however long they're going to be mobilized. And on top of that, he's still going to get his pay from the cop shop. Now, the average person that's volunteering, though, which I would say is probably going to be about 80% to 90%, are regular guys like you and me that came out of the military. They're in the guard. They've got a job, but it's $10 an hour job and they're only working part-time because they don't hire full-time. And all of a sudden somebody said you can get a payroll check from the Army to go from the Guard, which is to Army pay scale, guys. Think about it. It's going to be active Army pay scale. In addition to that, because if you're married, let's say you've got two or three children, you're wanting a couple years out of service, you spent a full tour overseas, maybe two. Your retirement points are really high. Your payroll is pretty decent. And because you have a wife and children halfway across Texas, you've got to remember you get transport pay. You've got housing stipends, all those things that are part of what is going to be coming in during the mobilization. Plus your travel pay. Oh, the formula, by the time you're done, the cops are going to be making out like bandits. But anybody right now, this economy the way it is, the guy is probably about 800 out of the, maybe more, could be up to 900 out of the 1,000. They're actually going to be making some money this month. That's why they're willing to bite the bullet, pardon the pun, and that, oh, you're not going to be armed. Oh, by the way, we're lying to the population. You're just going to be out there pushing paperwork and holding the illegal's hands, and you're going to help to get them to the bus station faster. Try not to get caught. Yeah, don't worry. Eventually, we've already given you the classes on how to turn around and lick your own hind end and apologize for being American. You've already had your political sensitivity classes, right? Because they already said they were that's what they were giving them a little bit two weeks ago See so this whole thing is a scam. Sorry I mean, but it's it's it's it's understandable that the guys aren't gonna say anything either because it's like man I just want the money dude, you know, cuz if you're on the other end of Texas, you got to remember you get paid by the mile Everybody know you know think about that your your family's gonna get housing for the month or if they're out mobilized for a month and The families, you're going to get housing for your family, housing allowance. You're going to get your pay for dependents. They probably have got, for the time being, they've got whatever the equivalent to Champas is now. They've got some, they change the name for the medical every what, six months. So whatever the civilian, your dependent healthcare thing is, they've got that for a month and that means you can run the kids into the dentist. That means you can run the wife into the dentist. and you can go to the military post there at Fort Sam Houston and get all your fixings done there one after another real quick. And I'll guarantee before they even volunteered or while they were talking about it, there were guys already calling Sam Houston to schedule. See how that works? See, this is all the stuff they don't talk about. It's because they'll level the cost on this thing. Oh, they're going to just go through the roof on this. But that's why I could said they're waiting for a there. They're still gonna be somehow and I'll guarantee they're working on it There is this big government tit that's gonna drop from the sky right in front of their face here See how that works anyway, we're at the top talk about how we got a clock dropping in front of us Don your number for night vision, please.
