And we are on CV base stations and Ultra Net Tech Mississippi along with Alaska. Hallmark network from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida. From the bottom of Florida across the arc to the Gulf of Mississippi, Texas, off to the top of the mountain. Whole bunch of Wyoming to include us the planes, banks of the Mississippi land in the Smokies slash the Blue Ridge where the restaurant crews gravity means in the model Grandma Consortium over retired telecommunications workers bring us good for light work a million junction operators to function one no my goodness in the studio there yet for all that in the outhouse America itself patient of America a 2004 calendar or most of us goon calendar if you were listening to that a why bother listening what's going on otherwise just hand your goodies over to somebody else because the bad guys on the other side anyway it is Thursday again www.dx.com deal extreme calm also if you need radio parts on www dot guys single communications especially critical cell phones are gonna go off but they're not gonna go off yeah what do you mean by that well I'm gonna remind you again guys I don't want the cell phones off That's a great way to track you and do everything they want to with regard to watching and monitoring your little computer's sad cell phones that you're all carrying now. But they're not gonna work. You won't be able to talk to each other. Hope, because the power grid would kinda still be on. And so, in fact, you've even got people full of conditions. Think about this. that we have cell phone chargers that are part of the emergency battery kits. My God, if I have my cell phone charged, I can sit there and look at my games and stuff, but my phone just doesn't seem to work for any reason. Oh, it's working all right. It's working as a leash to follow. Do whatever. Don't our pinging goes. Like we've said in reverse order, all of these secret police units guys have massive blocks of communications technology, but other technology they're carrying. All of it gives off of radio signals. I don't need to hear what they're saying to know where they are. Does everybody understand that? I don't need to hear what they're saying to know. And I don't really care to hear what they're saying, since we're gonna eventually be in a war with the police, you know, slash the globe. Because every one of these stinkers, let's point something out. Well, Mark, it's not a police state. It's not an international police state, really. So when the cops come to your door and they got a piece of paper from your town and it says, you and building zone control UN building ordinance UN say you know schmidlaff township it says under United Nations and they all get puffed up about that it's like mmm oh you're dead why well you're obviously not from our neck of the wood you're part of the UN you know they told them now we're UN building codes and we're pow you see all these skanks in uniform all love and sociopath gravitate to these positions. We had this problem in 773. We shot them. I told you about this. It's Lani, Michigan when they have zone building code violations, zone codes, it's all UN-LATION! This is it's Lani, Michigan guys. Right here in our backyard. We already got, you know, they send notices out. They give you that. UN-M... Oh, you mean the stuff we told everybody about that we were crazy about, right? You've already got the globalist police state BS in your face. So you have to clean that out and get rid of them. It needed not to have building zoning stuff in the first place. They're all warned about it, but a lot of people did the zombie-esque thing. Bigger cover, my dear. More thing here, real quick. Oh my goodness. Well, anyway, I'm just reading up. Kentucky? Well, thank you. From the trenches, meat of missing people served in many small restaurants. Army stationed in Quietta, Pakistan. Oh, you know, uh, it's a special old pork. the grade A pork and the beef and the grade A chick china and when they don't even have to put the name on it they turn it into some kind sometimes soiling but you see green eggs and ham you won't eat but you will eat soiling yellow and soiling you don't know who you're chewing on. You got here a bell? Do we have a caller? This is David and Eric. Go ahead sir jump in there. Yeah this is David, built your ball 9 inches tall footprint piece of web here yeah I'll tell you the best place back let me do this right now help you out Go to www.rap4.com Again, that's www.ep4.com Now, they're not a sponsor or anything and there's other airsoft and paintball companies that have these things. In fact, there's two companies you can go to check out but the paintballers are the better choice for these types of items because they use tank carriers, you know, for air, triple pouch, or and, what I do, like I've always told you, Then go to clearance and when you get to the clearance section, they've got pretty much, not only do they have the pouch, it'll probably be in the size you need, but they've got clearance on, for instance, clearance accessories, clearance guns and makers, clearance on miscellaneous helmets and equipment, and then they've got clearance. Now the soft goods are your mag pouches, utility pouches, et cetera. And the cool thing is, since you're down in Arizona, you might want a certain color pattern. I don't know how ACU works down in your stretch, down on the very bottom of the border. ACU works really, you know, the guys are deployed. They can, they've got any number of different colors. So it's really interesting, you can pretty well pick what you want. They wear up, it's the same stuff that Sportsman's guys buy, the suppliers go and everybody else. It's just from one of the paintball, or in this case, you know, paintball is supposed to airsoft. Both of them work. We've abused the snot out of these pouches. They're as well built as anything else. Are you looking at carrying fluid or just carrying dry goods in it as far as the container? It shouldn't be dripping or anything. You might even, of course, not as far as armored pouches go. There's a couple different places you can go with camp or supplies too if you're looking to protect it. The Berkey, there's a little Berkey that's about the size of less than a We're all about like a half gallon of milk. And we have one of those. They're the first of the little mini burkeys that they made. It's all stainless. They're an exact copy, but scaled down to the big burkeys. And I found an armored power, a little darker, but it's, and it can be carried. It has a shoulder strap. Like you said, a couple of connectors for a shoulder strap, but it also has a belt. And it wouldn't be carrying it on my combat gear, but I'd be carrying that particular unit on my backpack. And if it's a gravity filter system that you found, remember you can use it while you are in motion. In fact, your motion helps to agitate the thing and move the water. Anything else I can do. I'm looking right now, see there's a number of different pouches. Typically, if you know what you're looking for, number one, go through and see what they have. Go to wrapfor.com, then go to clearance, then go to again, clearance soft goods. There's many, many different pouches they've got marked down right now. You should be able to find something, but the cool thing is, then what I do is I give them a call and say, hey, I'm looking at this item. Here's what I've got. This is how big my item is. I want to fit it in there. Will that work? They're going to be real cooperative because they like to sell what they've got. And the clearance items, again, you're going to be saving them. Usually it's about a third the cost of what it normally would be. If not a third off, maybe more, half off or whatever. The other thing is they have an armored power. Now what I mean by armored is it'll be just padded and that'll protect your water system in and of itself because water is life. That's the first rule. You know that. You're down in the state where, hey guys, don't leave home without it. Very good. Kind of interesting. In a shell and at the bottom fire that'll take out all the straight down into it. Be ready to think. Exactly. We got a great negative pressure. Squeeze the bottle and all that. Go ahead and give that name out again a couple times so everybody knows what they're looking for. Okay. It's a YL. Very good. And again, one of the things to point out now with that system, coming into another container system, you can be carrying an inch, then you take two more side by side thing units, camouflage, they're velcro, cinch it down so it doesn't, and that would be an excellent solution for what you're dealing with there. Full pod pouches. You don't want the horizontal one, you want the vertical ones. Both, they make a horizontal, which would work actually, it wouldn't be a problem. They make a horizontal one that's four pockets, side by side, two on one side, two on the other. and they open up left and right and they fit basically back where you strap them on your gear like on your combat gear that's how they're designed to go with a pod with a pod system for the shooters and that would allow you to carry three water containers and that's another option. You can go the vertical inside but you can ask the guys about that at the very least they are set up to be carried on a belt or carried part of a molly rig. So I'm on the water. The other option is also check the paintballer the airsoft again a company I mentioned the other day www.airsoft-club.com and then go to specials and look to see if there's a pouch there that you might like or you know get a series the regular page has a whole lot of stuff on it and most of the airsoft and paintball companies what they've done is you know there's Alibaba and a couple other companies that are the the the importers from overseas Well, you go to the company and they'll make any camouflage for you that you want. And typically these companies are offering 14 to 20 different camouflages with any one of these paintball companies. So if you're in any part of the country, guys, and you want to flex iron or Austrian or whatever you can imagine, virtually all the wet gear and all of the clothing is available in that pattern. So if you already have some of it, but you don't have everything, you could actually round out a tip in whatever camouflage pattern you think works in your area best. And in any pouch size too, all the pouches we're talking about, so you can match up your gear self-away quite well and it works. The stuff works well. We've actually beat the liven snot out of a lot of the stuff intentionally. We like to test the destruction and the stuff held up. So it works well enough for what it is, looking for bug out to get to another location or if you're in the field. with water purification like you said having another container any container will do gallon jugs like you said work fine one of the things that I like to use or recommend is a change in the juice containers most of the acid juice like you know orange juice citrus juices they can't be in as as easily a biodegradable container so the cool thing is you're getting a container that could take a lot more abuse longer in the field in general to have a lip, a wider mouth so this or better a wider mouth that typically is reinforced with a white solid plastic, but again a high chip polymer. They have a pretty good size cap so they're easy to handle. And the containers are robust material to begin with, usually with chip in it, you know organic. They're a good choice and they're in a good size. You can get them pretty much any size you want, one quart, two liter, whatever size you think is best. And the neat thing is most of them are squared for shipping purposes to save space. on your person, they're very efficient in terms of design. A lot of the stuff that's in the throwaway industry, in reality, it can deal with your issues. You get the power of the companies you're looking at. Use the juice containers for your water storage, because again, they can be the right length and the right size, and they'll match up with the size of your unit so that when you're using the pouch thing fits, everything's snug, everything is tightened together. Just pretty cool. Just an idea. Again, the orange juice ones, they're usually clear. with green and orange cat, excited about orange so I kind of watch for the green ones. I've noticed that some of the companies though have cheaped out in the last year, in fact in the last six months. They may look like the same container but when you take the cap off the reinforcing lips are gone. So guys if you see the older ones or the other brands that have those reinforcing lips, all this is money that the companies are spending. They're trying to figure out how to cut back and how to save money even more. So a lot of the standards and quality that you saw in the past are going to be gone, even with a throwaway chunk. So just something to think about there. Did you find what I was talking about? Yeah, I did. I did find the pod pouches. Excellent. Very good. So again, call them because you've seen now there's different sizes. One nice thing about the pod pouch is that it's got a long upper Velcro closure. Depending on what you want, what else you want to stow in the same kind of pouch. They're really cool for doing 40 round 8K mags. Nobody's really thought about that. Remember guys, that's the odd man out. A lot of guys have the big AR mags or the big four-pound AK mags for the RPK. The pod pouches carry those AK mags real fine. And so that's also a solution for the guys who bought the big mags because they were a little cheaper for a little bit there. And you can use them for a lot of other items too. Water storage. Water transport like you're talking about. If we can, I'll look around for that because you got me on the subject now. The armored pouches are nice, but typically you'll find them in other industry applications. If you can find them, typically again grab those for your water. For the water purifier itself, I try to armor it even if it isn't armored, that pouch is not armored. A little trick there, watch for the rigid packing dense foam and line the container, line the pouch, make your own armored container for it. And that way it's, you know, again offers a little more protection. It's a priority item. Water is life. Sounds like a good system. Have you used it? Have you already had a chance to use it in the field? Uh, no. I'm waiting on it to arrive, but I did a lot of reach practical. Yes, I don't have to make noise out of the bottle. I mean, there's a one-way valve that winds up making a goofy noise. Talk about one of the things about the little burkeys is that they're small. They're just a small gravity version. So it does take operate whereas with a compression system like you're talking about the other time to application. That's why what I was saying before if I was using the little gravity system, what you do is like what the Vietnamese used to do with rice. You take a certain amount of rice, put it in the water in the container that you're going to be using, you know, to stow the rice or to, you know, to stow other material. Put the stuff together, you put it in the pouch and you carry it natural agitation while you're walking. Plus just the rice sucking in the moisture rehydrates it and preps it for cooking. The same is true with a gravity feed system if you're carrying it. You know, your natural motion helps to agitate the system and works the system. But the gravity feeds do take longer. That is one of the biggest issues. Anything else, sir? Yeah, one quick question about a price on a rifle. I'll tell you what, can you stay right where you are? We're gonna go to break bottom of the hour guys grab that cup of coffee smell Hey, oh, yeah, there we go. It's so in the morning a lot. We'll little put head on your chest Oh girls, don't worry.

Please, to us, the United States covers a tube to the Microascent Broadcasting Network. camera supplies now camera industry has changed because of digital but they're still trying to keep up with the trends remember older out there was designed for high-end camera equipment and typically you can find it marked medical equipment your night vision etc camera bags as well for creating chargers batteries okay we were cut up right at the beginning what's the model of the rifle again sorry it's a galil okay good rifle Actually, how much for it again? 1,200. Okay, it's a serviceable AK. You know how I talked about the Israeli stuff. Okay, Israeli stuff is not the most expensive, but typically again, not everything they did was the best. However, they worked, number one. You're getting so many mags with it, which is a good price. These right now are on the mark available. For the price, it's a good weapon as far as it's an AK action. It's in 223. But if you can find something, I'd say a little more Americanized in some ways, you'd probably be better off. It's up to you. The Galil, if you're going to commit to it, a couple things you got to remember. Firing Pin and Extractor number one are very unique now. I mean, they're out there, but they're pricey. The magazines, let's see, right now, I think Dash, Sark has mags. I've also noticed that a couple other companies to include, I believe, CDNN Investments. CDNN Investments have spare mags. If you're going to commit to it, you want to buy those mags and here's another solution. You can buy 8KDesigns.com. Now they just changed their names, so even as I tell you that, I just remembered they've got a new Cushing. They're a part of you. I'm going to write this down and check them out anyway. Your 223 Galil has a unique magazine system. Wouldn't it be nice if you could take your Galil and use AR mags in it? Of course it would. You and I both know that. If you go to www.com, and I'm going to do it first and I'll give you the new address here, www.tansisacdesigns.com, their new address, let's see if it links up, I think it does, it goes from Texas, AK Designs, TANIS, 9-9-W dot C-A-N-I-S-E-S-I-G-N-U-P dot com. They have an adapter that allows you to take, what it does is it locks into your galil well, and allow you to use AR15 mags in it all day. Make it for any of the 223AKs that are out there. Plus, if you get a 223AK, this allows you to use AR15 mags. Now, that doesn't mean I throw out those 35 round Galil mags, because the Galil mags do work. But the problem is, the cost. You can buy a whole lot of AR15 mags cheaper. And even if I did buy more Galil mags, if I had a Galil or a 223AK and I was building right now, I would buy one of these adapters and put it in my combat kit. And for the time being, I'd use the factory mags that come with your rifle. I might need to improvise. Maybe my mags are missing or maybe I lost all my mags. Well, that doesn't mean my rifle goes bare. Take the AK adapter, the 18 magazine adapter, plug it into your Galil, and away you go. Now the price for that, for that Galil, is actually pretty decent because they calculate out, that's the only thing about Galil. Even 223AKs. The 223AK mags are more expensive than a regular 8-0 8K 70-47 mag by far. Usually at least again, getting as much in terms of cost. The Gileal mags used to be up to $60 a piece, but right now I'm pretty sure they're down less than that if you find the right company. Get more mags, that's the big thing. Another thing about the Gileal, we're also offering 12 round mags, factories that are coming from someplace, I don't know where. And they're cheap. They're actually pretty cheap. I'd buy a pile of those. That everybody goes, oh, good as a 10 round mag. Hey, it's better than harsh languages. Throwing rocks and single bullets at a time and loading. And as long as I've got a certain weapon, you know, since the Galil is a special niche firearm. In 308 or 223, it does take unique mags. It does have, you know, again, unique issues to, you gotta make sure you give your spare parts as well. But as far as a serviceable weapon goes, it works. It puts the bullet down range and it's an AK design. Basically, the Israeli just took the AK and made it there. This is what they did. I forgot to mention a couple things. He's in New York and everything on the gun is pre-man. He'd be selling it in New York. It's the earliest rifle that came in, so it's a pre-man weapon that whistles on it then. Yeah. So the lower reset, is that all the glioseps have in their sheen lower? Well, the Galil was funny as I pointed out, there were two different ways that they went with machining. Number one, they did the infusion casting. I'm not excited about that, but it worked. But the biggest thing is I saw that there were pock marks. The split machine models, it's kind of like the history of the AK-47s started out machined and then they went to the same. The Galil, they went, they did both just like the pins did the same thing, the Velmays. The pins went to stamped and then went back to receiver. You still have stamped parts on the AK no matter what. Your upper dust covers, big chunk of your parts. going to be stamped but it's you know again you know multi-tongue presses going kachunk do is ninety percent of the form and then they machine out the difference that's not a problem a forged part is a strong part uh... there's all kinds of little tricks in the trade you know as far as how you can all make a piece of metal forge it and then you can see how the stronger it is when you're done it was made if it's a pre-ban it's an earlier rifle it's going to be stronger in general take a look at that little receiver you can if you look at it you'll see that whether or not it's cast You know, there's different ways they did this. Infusion, cast, and then machine, because you always still have to finish machining it. The other issue is a forging, or if it's machined from billet, you'll be able to tell by the tooling, take a look at the receiver itself. What's the fit? And if you're satisfied with that, it looks like it's a billet. It's an AK. The Galil is an AK. It's got, again, the lighter, typically the lighter barrel. In that respect, the Galil It has more of a line of the AK-74 because it tries to lighten the weapon up and do all kinds of other special things to modernize the AK design as a few minuses. The big thing is, again, if you've handled an AK before, you've got the Pivot Magazine system. I've kind of talked about that the other day. You need to train and train and practice so that you get that in place. But it's true for that matter. There are a number of different stock systems. Is there a solid stock or a folding stock? There's an all metal folding stock. stock that's real to take it out of the unfolded. Yeah, it's a positive, okay, it has a positive lock like the Velmé. Positive lock stock, that's what that is. It's aware into itself. Different stocks that they, probably to give you an idea, I believe if you go to this Canis design group site, they've got some pretty good little photo essays showing the weapons that they put together and how they're working with different ideas that they've come up with. I would invest in an AR magazine well for that. That's messed up, is it? Is it a shame? especially for being pre-ban and he's up in New York. I'm sorry, repeat again, your whole stop got me there. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, the finish doesn't seem to be wearing off anywhere, so it's probably some sort of chemical finish and not just paint. And it's just, and everything you figure. I'm talking back a little bit if you could, you know how that works. If it's pre-ban and also again, it sounds like it's one of the high production models. Of course, the money, the mags with it, any other accouterments. Talk out any other accoutrements or anything that goes with it. Is there ammunition coming with the weapon? First thing, he was just trying to sell it and I was just giving him some expertise on it. He's using the money to fund a trip down to Arizona. Again, here's the other question, does it have the scope site rail built into the side of it? Because some do, some don't. I don't think the lower was made in the US. Okay, well it could be an as it either is an IMI You're going to again you have to make affection on it you're gonna are you see bringing it with him coming down Well, he's gonna tell it in New York Because it should be worth more money being pre-banned and well for people who've already committed to the go wheels And there's a lot of guys have bought them back in the 80s there for more because they we know again It's like we said trying to keep your arsenal to your arm were consistent And you might want another weapon another part another family How many goodies can you get with it? Do you get any ammunition that calculates into the mass with the numbers? And then it's just a matter of figuring out or deciding where it is you want to go with a person-to-person thing. Because if you're going to go that way, I would, like I said, look for firing pins and extractors right away. I've discussed this with any weapons that we have. And the Galil is not an orphan, not a man-out rifle, like the AR-180. They're great weapons. They function well. They function well enough. the thing is that you want to make sure reasonably priced. The farther you get away from the production dates on these things, the more expensive parts become, which is something you want to avoid. So you get to save where you can now so you're not spending as much later than you spend your money on the things you need, like wanting to put down range. I just figured out another giant question. I don't know. No, that's OK. Remember, when you're asking a question, other people are probably asking the same question. Go ahead. OK. I personally committed to a platform. turn back the hands of time in an AK-74. I really enjoy it in the medium range platform. The AK-74 functions versus an AR-15. It seems to be more durable for ammunition, slightly harder hitting ammunition. Reasonably just as accurate as an AR with 500 meter, 800 meter range AK-70. One of the things that would never get rid of the AR since it's... Here's the rule, number one. Lots of ARs out there to have that AR-15 in your inventory. You know we've talked about cal... Have a 40 caliber pistol and you don't want to spend $500 on another pistol. And now you got a pistol in 40 caliber so if you run into 40 caliber ammunition laying around 45 and you're out of 9 millimeter, you got something that eats the 40 caliber ammo but you're not... it didn't eat up your wall. You see what I mean? Your AR-15 system, two options. Number one, to take advantage of or to create up an... or weapon for long-term use. The AR-15 lends itself towards logistic compatibility because you can go to 5.56 and also get an upper receiver without changing that weapon at all. You get a complete upper that would be in 4.5 by 39. I would buy another upper in 7.62 by 39. And then I would buy another upper, for instance, 300 Blackout if it was cheap right now. That's because you've already got the rifle. As far as the AK-74 goes, yes, in general everything that you said is true. If you'd committed just to that or if you're right now we're looking for a rifle reasonably priced. The 74 is reasonably priced, cheaper for you. They used to be a Kicer $100 and 47 because they were centered on the 40-53 grain bullet is still the cheapest bullet out there on the market even with a Russian man for shooting to take to the range sculpting your purchases in the last several years. Example, a lot of guys have 7.62x39 rifles but the AK-74 round is cheaper. I recommend buying a 74 not only because of all of its positives, as far as knock down power, what it does on the range, but because it was cheaper to take to the range to shoot to train somebody to use an AK. Positive feature there. Down where you are in your neck of the woods, UNAMMO.com, they're not the only company and there's other ammo companies around, I know that. But UNAMMO has some pretty good prices on 53 grain and other loads in 5.4, 5.0 by 39, even now. Would I dump the AR completely? Well, I keep the AR in your inventory and I keep everything right where it is, but just freeze your purchases. I would turn around then and start looking at about looking at us. If you're going to look at a 74, commit to start looking for the best price for mags because it used to be we were buying mags for $2 apiece, then $5 apiece, and they went to $7. Now they're up to where that's even an AK regular AK mag. They got eaten up. The originally when the East German mags came in, we were buying them for $1 apiece, but there were no rifles. Everybody wondered, well Mark, why are you buying AK-74 mags? There's no rifles for those. And I said, well, don't you think eventually they're going to be? And lo and behold, you know, the fact that you just, you know, you just explained, guys, they're a part of the environment now. With regard to the design itself, it's an AK. That's simple. It's gas, it's gas system is so forgiving and the weapon itself is so forgiving for maintenance. You're in a dusty environment and a gritty environment down there in Arizona. It's just the nature of the desert, of the AK just environment in general. It doesn't mean that we abuse it. See here's the sign so that when the potato farmer or that rice farmer or that person who doesn't really think too much about cleaning things, if they didn't clean it, though the particular of his weapons is. The rifle would continue to function even if the character didn't have any cleaning supplies and didn't know how to deal with the weapon, but because we have the ability to do all the maintenance. necessary so that AK should be a multi-generational rifle no matter how poorly made it is and not poorly made it's just the idea that if it was tired once we get hold of it we know how to do proper maintenance we're going to do cleaning we have lubricants we know how to take care of it with the PLL products top of the line all of our AKs and AR should run like singer sewing machines problem is that AR takes a lot more maintenance to keep it and yeah that's a quick example of one of my magazines I mean I had a wrench handle back Oddly shaped pieces, thin plastic, that somehow got into the magazine to pollute. And I have to say, I have confidence in the weapon because if a pistol group comes off, I lose the defense pin in the spring. If the stock comes off, it's the same thing. If I lose the one cotter pin in the bolt, then the gun doesn't work. That's part of the problem with the integrated Stoner system that even Stoner said that's why the rifle was not supposed to go to the infantry. Remember the AR-15 was meant for the Air Force. They were not going to take their weapons apart. They barely shoot them. And they would be good security weapons. That's what originally Stoner designed that rifle for. And all the things you just pointed out are points that he made back in the early 60s about why it shouldn't go into the field. You know why it wouldn't be the weapon of first choice for the infantry. Unfortunately, Max Camaro and the boys that were running Alcoa aluminum, they pushed it hard. And that's why we got it. So, the AK on the other hand, like you said, much more forgiving. Anything else? I'll see what I'm going to let you go. I'll let you want to stick around a little longer. It's up to you. Well, I'm good. I appreciate your expertise, Martin. Thank you for all you do. Okay, and now make the wheel. Again, if you are going to commit to it, firing pin extractor right away, that's your first purchase for that gun. And we are in the top. God bless the Republic. That's the new world order we shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We're in a march. And now we're marching into the third hour coming up here on The Rock. It's Thursday. the T.
