and and all the rest of our good friends on the Pacific side. Turning back to the east, we sweep across the plains over the Mississippi and land in the Smokies. We're the restaurant crew and consortium of retired telecommunications workers. Bring us Anna, tell you what, Don, we got a dusting of snow, we got gray, but now we've got the clouds breaking up and the sun coming out and we don't have frozen ground here. So while it's cold enough to freeze things up as far as, you know, in the air. Probably this is gonna melt off real quick again guys, but it's a warning order for the south. What's it like up in your neck of the woods? What is the day today? What's jumping off the wall up there? Sun's shining through the window right now so you don't hear me complaining again on the rubber bands. Right now praying to Allah, we got the morning prayer going on. And the camel's back. Of course they're facing... Not any rocket work done, but hey, they're very politically correct. And the rubber bands work flawlessly, sir. Yeah. Well, you know, that's a bit of an understatement because they're driving that little thing around on Mars and whatnot. I think actually it's a Canadian frontier, but you know, when you use a rotoscope lighting and everything, you can get away with anything you want. You know, that little guy driving the VW, you know, sand beetle over there on the far side of the background, they got caught that one day. They make sure they X that out and the files have been burned. So don't worry. We still think he's on Mars. little things. the pan, the tubular stock, and the lease stenciled with new glorious name of Ruvatistan, Ruvapistlan and Semyonov or Semyonov or Semyonov, many air manufacturing. We originally also invented bicycle and potato, remember that, especially the potato. Russia invented potato and of course potato whiskey. You call it webcam, what the heck. They really are like that guys. It's kind of like, you know, it's like the Chinese, the Russians are, the Russians though are more bellicose about it. Really that's what's fun. You know, the Chinese, they never saw a patent they wouldn't violate, right? Well in Japan, they never saw a patent they wouldn't violate. But they never do the, you know, what they do is always the sideslide thing. It's like, oh, this is a moral world. These are making me mauve-ro. Okay, so the M is upside down. Well, M, W, what difference? You know, like mauve-r. You guys buy mouses when they say wow, then what's wrong with you, right? Yeah, mauve-r is with wow factor. Yeah, mauve-r is purple. You've not seen mauve-r in purple before? And they do that. They really did. If you see the why we fight, one of the reasons, John, for why we had to go to World War II, because they were making copies of our AC spark plugs. Oh, yeah. That's right in there. Why we fight. Yeah. And razors. Everything! They were making pencils that were copies of ours and we had to kill people because they were making copies of our pencils. And we needed to kill people because they were making copies of our AC spark plugs. And most of all we needed to kill them. Now you gotta think about this. We had just been killing Americans through prohibition by using their... We were killing them for copying models of... Yeah! We had to kill the companies. Yeah, that was why we had to fight because they were making copies of American liquor. Yeah. Would you of course all have Jewish company names on them? What you're not supposed to notice, you ever think about the names of all these companies and do a background on them? The ones that were allowed to continue? And all the other people, what their names were of the companies before prohibition that were put out of business? Isn't it amazing who was allowed to survive? I wonder where that Kessler name comes from. Yeah. So after all, once they got the monopoly on liquor in the United States, lo and behold, here are these Japanese fellows and what are they doing? Those buggers. They're making copies of our liquor! Kill them for making copies of the fire water. So again, the Russians, they just wouldn't do that. This is ridiculous. Yes, it is obvious the bottle of liquor that we produce is Lavosky-Mazitnya liquor. that the American flies have made a copy of what we have invented in our glorious state of Kentucky, Stan. Not to mention, we told you the story of a gun when it went to... I mean, the Gatling gun that really wasn't named Gatling when they were done with it, right? Oh, a hundred of them were shipped to Scullin before they went to the gun that said Gatling and all of the specimens and everything. You guys, you can see him in his like-like at Mount Creek. And he had another brass clack put on the back of the guns that suffocations wouldn't... It must be true that they own as... So you see, that's the difference between having fun with the Russians and having fun while the Communists back in the... But before that it was a start, I mean really nothing had changed there. Ah, the mindset. And again, remember, they invented the potato. Now the Irish would challenge them on that. That's the one thing I was guessing, it's like, I think the Irish would have something to say about that. And nobody really knows where the... Do they? The potatoes, sir. It's a natural thing. No, no. The Russians pushed one day and discovered it and said, well, you invented the potato. So just something to think about. And I'm not joking about that either, by the way. We're joking about it right now because it's funny. But I'm not joking about how they wrote about it. It's the nature of the world and how it really works. So I wanted to, recently I brought a couple of different things up here this morning. This whole thing with the aircraft carriers. Just as a sub-note for you guys who want to have some fun with history. About converting things. Well Mark, they couldn't do that. What good was that? Well, when you have nothing and you need something, you make something because something is better than nothing. Look at the technology and let's shift ever so slightly. They would airplane. They could every footing. It was called, yes, for the technology. He's had a torpedo bomber technology. In fact, if you take a look, if you remember, I'm going to do the way back on everybody. How many of you built a model of the Nautilus? model of the Nautilus. You might recall, depending on the year that you built that Revel model or that Aurora model, that there's a little tank on the back of the, right behind the conning tower. You may also notice that the Rims took the same idea to heart and they used an air-ore rocket system, all cruise missiles. They were too modern a way ahead of us. No wonder we all, we should just give up right now. But we met back in the 50s and early 60s. The same concept, just like Don's talking about, the idea for that and the concept of how to do it was actually first research based upon what the Japanese had perfected, hangers that could be operated, you know, could be sealed up, operated underwater. The aircraft would be on standby and they came up with an entire quick rig system Now think about that. Now just take that the next step and go, hmm, rocket, air breathing rocket, quick assembly, and away they go. The other thing to point out about aircraft carriers, and we've advancements of technology. You saw the fleet, Caratoga was a mate, the catapult was in the time that was, I don't want to particular, the changeover is better. The time they were launching a shorter deck to do that. The time they had perfected that system, that cable hook system, a lot of those in the Pacific and the that made the Atlantic crossing submarines work. And remember these were extemperate. There are bridges to the thing about that and we're planning the seat for a reason because I've been referencing a lot of the other historical components. What if you get there first? Instead of waiting till, my God, we're in desperation. But with desperation came inspiration. Well, that's true. But how about we take the inspiration and jiggle it, say, earlier into the timeline? and it becomes a viable component with enough time to reach fruition, to reach the common goal of victory. In World War II, a lot of airmen were taught before they went out to fly off those other improvised aircraft carriers, rocket carriers we had. They would learn at Great Lakes Naval Air Station. We're here in Michigan. Great Lakes Naval Air Station is right there next to Chi-Cago. Okay, Chicago, bottom of Lake Michigan. You can still number those airplanes. didn't quite make it. But we did have aircraft carriers in the Great Lakes, guys. We had to take the time, you can do a search on the Great Lakes. And you might want to subcategorize that at Great Lakes Naval Air Station. What you will see are what look like, especially when you first glance, oh, those are a couple of aircraft carriers, which is obvious. They've got a flight deck, you know, Connie Tower, the whole nine yards. But then when you look closer, you might notice something. Wheel, paddle, way mark. of the airmen that fought the Jack across the Pacific started by training to land and take off in their advance. They would be out first, they would teach them to fly a plane, teach them to land on a regular piece of ground. Then they'd take and put them, you know, say hey let's try landing on this postage stamp on Lake Michigan. And they did. Train many a torpedo bomber and fighter pilot to move off the decks of the Saratoga, you know, the big E. Okay, think about it. So again people go, well, what good would it do for you to fit? Well, I'll tell you what, it's like the stupid statements. Here's the thing about propaganda. The Chinese built a Moscow class in the middle of their Great Lakes. Stupid, you see how dumb the Chinese are? They put them there in the middle of one of their lakes. They built a copy. This is what's really amazing. I guess when you have money, unlike America, which, you know, we're not the place state, but China. They've got enough money and they've got manpower and their manpower is cheap enough. They built a one-to-one copy of their aircraft carrier trainer for ocean-going operations. They just rebuilt. Behold, they've got a trainer that's full scale. I like this off from fresh water in a controlled environment where if anybody makes a mistake, they know right where they are. I don't lose. Here's why that's a big thing. Guys are nervous. People make mistakes when they're early in their education track. A lot of money in those pilots. a lot of time and if they're good enough that they could at least land most of the time, they're better than a pilot that can't land there at all. So maybe it'd be a good idea to preserve your manpower strength that you're perfecting and developing skill with because those men become the trainers of the next group. You see how that works? It's building up an... It's like every aspect of man's endeavor. We are screwed in this country because They have intentionally mucked up the education system and the tradesmen that we had, it took us 200 years to build up the machine technology of America. They have intentionally been betrayed. The college stupid system helped to make that happen. The high schools have had all the trades work taken out of them and the mechanical work so that we are failing massively there. We had a manpower pool capable of our and or feeding the work because we had the skills. Now, don't laugh at somebody else if they're perfecting and building and they're building a man car and they know how to preserve it. The advantage of working in the Great Lakes was the same way as the Chinese and what they're doing with building up their care. He's right here in this general area or he ain't nowhere at all. And by the way, the nice thing, if need be, he can land in a corn these guys did. What's in the northern end of, uh, left and right of Chicago and up around the west side of the state of Michigan, guys? If they had a problem, the idea was not to take her in the water. The idea was to find a piece of pavement or a piece of cornfield to get your plane on that ground. Save every piece. It's only a training plane! Yeah, and it's one of five, the only five we have. The rest are out in the Pacific getting shot down right now. Because that's exactly what happened to them. See how that works, guys? In fact, when my dad went through Great Lakes Naval Station, because it was the earlier part of the war, the thing they did, they trained with wooden rifles. Their qualification at Great Lakes was with a .22 caliber rifle and they were there 40 rounds. I guess we weren't winning the war, were we Don? Yeah, hey, you better try to get the most. Yeah, those .40-22 rounds. Like I said, he shot more rifles and killed more critters and wasted more, well not wasted, but used more ammunition in his life up to that point than the whole stinkin' unit had seen while they were on the rifle range getting their .40 rounds worth of .22 down range. And other than that, everything was a they had was either out to the coast, the militia units that were active, the Pacific, and half of that was going to the bottom. We were sending it to the British, darn it. And by the way, you can dive on wrecks in the Atlantic. Right now, where you'll see wrecks and wrecks and wrecks of the weapons that should have gone to our troops. But you know where they went? They went straight down because we were sending them to the British. And the Germans, well, they were pretty good at what they did. Okay, so just something to think about there in advance those aircraft carriers you can find pictures there's some great imagery I don't know about the history I know that there are there's there's an air club around Chicago just like there is we have the Yankee Air Force and That has now taken over the bomber plant and it's why any of the old will run bomber plant They now have it guys But here's the sad part about that little history weird history things they built the B-24 bomber at willow run and the air group that runs it have a B-24. Now they've got two PB4YBs that I found. I'm bragging about that one because I always do every once in a while. The only variants of the B-24 that they have, and one of those planes that came from this factory are planes that I found. Now I didn't find them and I didn't put them where they were. I paid attention and listened to the information that was passed on and we found out where the wrecks were sitting out there around Crater Lake. And I told the guys where to go, what to look for, and lo and behold the wrecks were right where they knew they'd be. So those planes were recovered, brought back to Willow Run, and that's where they are now. Yeah, because at least they've come full circle back to where the birds came back to roost where they were hatched. Anyway, but the Navy model has a single mono wing instead of the dual rear stabilizer built so they had greater observation capability for the torpedo depth charge aircraft that they turned them into. fire fighter aircraft and that's how they ended up out in the middle of the forest in the middle of nowhere. Now Great Lakes Naval Station is also a lot of other information when I was talking about well what is pilots as a qualifier. There's a lot of really cool pictures and newspapers back in the day where you know French mid-lap thought he had enough fuel and was gonna make a deck landing and Tom wouldn't quite do it. He did get the plane back to ground but you know there's several images that are pretty dramatic where the It's obvious that either she's a hangar queen or there's going to be a lot of wrenching done to try and put her back in online, but at least he got her back, you know, back to solid ground in one piece, kind of. So a lot of history there too. Anyway, we're headed towards the bottom of the hour here before we do that, Tom. A couple minutes, yeah. Your number for night vision, please, and what do we have available before we break? Tom won't be available half an hour, but write his number down and contact him. Go ahead, please. Hey, I've got that first generation gunsight. My phone number is 23176. 5'8". I hear the music. We're gonna go to break here. You guys, you're gonna hear our sponsors phone number. You should probably write them down. If you're catching the interest in anything you're offering, give them a call and purchase their product. We'll be right back.

We follow that song every time it was aired with the, that guy can't follow the dichotomy of the rock and roll world. That guy over there, no I can't dance. Landing on aircraft carriers. If you look in the right touch and you see it, you know, your version of like a F4. safety net control tower with one trying to make that guy waving the paddle and that plane tower there and that guy who's standing there you wonder where he ran to when that plane came to land on an aircraft carrier. It says you know it's another thing that all the different designations as well beyond and on board the USS when the tail granted some of the things you're seeing the guy coming back with one one gear down that was probably combat damage. Designers say the train is capable of when it comes to interesting thing too that I've noticed the Russians were doing this a few years ago just jogging everybody's memory they were selling but everybody laughs at that or goes well that's really why those are stupid and North Korea for instance bought a number of these well the one thing to remember guys you've got cheap labor slow economy so it's not a big deal to buy the technicians that you need to do the grunt work the hyper technicians that are needed for specialized development control them. It's a matter of where do you want to focus energy. The advantage of having the systems in place at all means it's like we've talked about before with planes. You get training time. Just like the aircraft carrier issue like Dom, you know, no matter how you look at it guys, all stick to experience every hour flight, field flight in any direction. It's just, it's like driving a car. You think even twice about 90% of what you used to do when you were a teenager and dad said, I'm going to ride with you and we're going to see how you drive. Think about it. You know, progressive, perfect. The reason I bring this up is because, again, there's a lot of areas when we train, if you look at a lot of training films, I'll point this out, guys, we use a lot of the old military, you know, old military equipment for a reason. The best stuff we don't put the additional miles on. We've got stuff that we train with and we've used, we're very familiar with. of the vehicles we could afford to put a whole bunch of stuff in the field. When you see a handful like 6, 7, 8, or 9 of something that we've used, there's a reason we can do that. We've got them on the cheap. Now, we're completely familiar with how to use the equipment, the technologies, etc. Step over into the brands to surprise. Or, once you have a concept of how to implement something, the basic motion factor to include real physical scale especially critical with regard to that education and development arc and with regard to experience increases your performance level. Well, the idea is prior to proper planning prevents this poor performance. So getting into the field and training with trucks. You know, well, every country did this. They used to again, when they were talking about Germany, well, Germany was turning with cardboard tanks. So applied with tanks. So were we coordination with the Japanese air force. See guys running the clock. Yeah, to give you the idea, again, the perception of, once you understand where it should be in the formula happens, it's prize or, and here's the key word, the rice paddy. If it's there to help you, see this is another thing, and I know movies have to do this, you have these, you know, there's a little of some kind of goofy blower, you know, I don't care what it is, sci-fi, science fiction, vampires, or even supposed to be a battle. It's there and they're having this like love conversation. Okay. Or this, you know, this direct contact and oh, it is this angling moment where they're looking at each other and they're like, look guys, that's time wasted where your life's at risk and you don't have time for that. Congratulations. Well, it's kind of that way when you see like these guys where they're looking up and they see this plane low flying from behind them over them and down range. Now, you know, or where they're startled or they're, you know, it takes them, it takes them unaware. Well, So that's something that in reality if you focus on your dimension of the battlefield, granted it's a pick me up. But the idea is to condition your people so they focus on their job because every second, every minute counts. Your mission, total annihilation of the aggressor. To do that, just expect that hey, have we happened to have a combined arms team and all of a sudden off to my arms that fighter trainer that's got the hard points that we've improvised the ordinance on, my boys just dumped something on the bad guys. to follow up immediately, not hesitate, not be staring at the plane, not be watching what the ordinance does. Take advantage of what just happened. Yeah, your job is because we just shuck and jive them the way they thought they were going to shuck and jive you, you know, that shock and all BS. This is an equal opportunity, shucking and jiving. Uh, gee, take advantage of move, and that means every second, every minute counts. Somebody just committed their life, their life, to provide you with something you better take advantage of. Not a movie production, not a book. Okay, or not a story, shall we say. It's a real life situation. So, most important is that, again, we stay focused. To stay focused wins. Part of the reason I bring this up is because now I'm gonna tie, you know, what I always harp on, logistic trains. Guys, in World War II, somebody had decided to commit to a less expensive piece of equipment sooner, standardization on equipment sooner. Higher formulas for the war would change. And in reality, in some ways, that actually did happen. on our side or on the Russian side or even on the Japanese side. At a given point somebody committed to a piece of technology, however, what they didn't do is look beyond it. Or again, because of the math formula they boxed themselves into, they were stuck in a particular track or line that could easily have been changed but they failed to break. This is the other aspect of, again, flexibility but also simplification wherever possible. KISS, keep a KISS principle. they should apply to everything you possibly can. The more complicated and intricate the technology, the more difficult it is to make more when the time comes. Wherever you can simplify something in one area, then you have the advantage to spend time in production in another. Everything from the idea of when we talked about the Sten gun being brought into service right away or a variation on a mass production weapon, much simpler than pretty much everything that's in service right now, would not be hard. but you don't do it when you're finally in your last gas and you're down to your last case as a mammal. What if you do it right from the get-go? You do it right from the beginning. Now you're not down to your last case, but you're producing more arms. You have them at the focal point where it's needed. Here's another scary thought that nobody ever really wants to talk about, and they always try to downplay it, but it's because they have to re-engineer your brain math with World War II. At the beginning of World War II, we could count all our combat vessels and a little under a hundred effective in the beginning of World War II after Pearl Harbor. You go to the end of the war and I want you to look at how many ships were put out of commissary attack. When my dad came back from Palau and he was one of God knows how many thousands that were coming back across if they get five miles an hour fleet of that were coming back that were kamikaze and almost virtually gutted or destroyed numbered close to 70 ships of all classes. My dad came back from mid-ocean on the Kitkin Bay. The Kitkin Bay was one of those we were talking about earlier. And it had been gut combination of shelling and, mostly, they got caught by shells from an unconventional battleship. There's cargo ships that were all limping back on one, taken out by anywhere from one to pilots who suicided into a ship. and the number of ships destroyed there, or damaged critically, those were just the criticals, there were just as many, if not more, sunk. We don't think so, everybody's studying Iwo Jima the last couple of days, I've noticed. I want you to go look at the number of ships lost, and why it is they say the destroyers, the reason the destroyers took a hellacious beating is because they were used in radar picket like my dad's ship, and that's why he was almost killed. As far as I saw him, he said, hey, better that than nothing. So they went in, They may not have, in some cases they were lucky it took time for the ship to go down, but in other cases, not so much. The destroyers went to the bottom guys. Well, let's do the math here. Imagine if 100 righteous Japanese airmen had decided at the beginning of World War II to make a battle wagon. Yeah, every time that they attack any any ship just want you know, they're a designated men Our job is to protect you and your job is to be on target You've got 500 pound bomb on board go for kamikaze Campaign starting Navy later than all of the other one now another man from it because everybody says well mark We shoot them down guys air defense concept on board ships in 1941 and 42 so we had at the end of the war Oh, yeah, have you ever built a model of the battle wagon arrows? I'm using this because a lot of you guys grew up with stuff like this. Take a look at an image of the battleship era. Then take a look at her sister ship, the Pennsylvania. Understand that if everybody had decided to, if the Japanese had decided to sacrifice 300 committed and experienced officers. There we go, that's crazy, really. You're all told about Bushido, commitment of the Japanese officer to follow orders, right? And if you know an uncle or a dad or a grandpa, given orders to charge machine gun positions. Oh yeah, you know, they will. Have they changed that philosophy at the very beginning of the war and when they were at the core fee they just said every one of them. Any way to stop that from happening. You're right. McCarthy campaign started. Did the aircraft carrier bombers and and dive bombers? Or at the very least. Had everything and everybody they could find because, well guess what, it's world had changed. If you don't realize it, see here's the other problem. What happens if there's no survivors? One of the other things to consider is that what if you have a land action, or say a naval action, and the Japanese come in and you have a 7 or 13 ship combat force that fights a supported, superior ship, and they wipe everybody out. Literally wipe everybody out. Nobody's allowed to escape. The attitude is cripple everything and whatever is crippled and dying, the land flees in and finishes, the surface fleet comes in and finishes. air fleet cools or breaks the mind of everything that's there and it would have been possible. Pilots? Well, here's the other thing. The Japanese were unscrupulous and not stupid, especially the imaginations, and they did know who their better pilots were. Consider that if a flight on. That's where you hear these people, now why do I bring this up? Well, I'm going to jog your memory on something. Back when 9-11 took place, there were these idiots, and I said this, I said, you know, these guys that are suicide bombers that are over there in the Middle East, they're stupid! Really? I'd say they're about as brave as you can get. If they're, you know, like, they're willing to fight and they're, you know, they're gonna die for the cause. Try to kill somebody. They're not there to be pop-up targets for you. Well, you'll remember they tried to do the propaganda and what they did is they said, oh, the Japanese did this, but it was great retribution. And I pointed out right away, it's like, you know, this is what's called Stupid Public Fool System logic. Because I just mapped out for you. Just imagine, I mean, how much Different with the outcome of the war event it would have been monstrous Consider them the math formula. Let's think about one thing right off the bat. Let's talk about Midway What if the Japanese that had a kamikaze policy at Midway? One aircraft carrier could have went when any attack took place if every plane had said you know what we're gonna send that carrier to the bottom if every plane instead of trying to deliver a bomb and get away Whoever gets there first and bust them up, the rest of you, you've done your job. Drop the bombs after we break their spine. Right. That's in the water to almost death. Yeah, now you can bomb the snout out of that carrier and guess what? We only had one. What were the numbers? What was the ratio? Go do some history on Midway. Imagine if at that point the pilots had all agreed, you know, we're probably all going to die on this, aren't we? Hey, look at it like this. If the Japanese pilots knew that they didn't have aircraft carriers to fly back to, what do you think they would have done? That's another equation. And don't think American pilots didn't think the same way, by the way. Because there are American pilots that did. That's something that he don't talk about. Well, that suicide thing is crazy. Well, let's see. I crash in the middle of nowhere, nobody knows where I crashed, and I've seen what happens to pilots eaten by sharks. Hmm. If I take the organs I brought along with me and I deliver it into the belly of the beast, I end up dead anyway, but at least I died for some purpose. That's kind of why I came out here and put a uniform on. Yeah, another portion of the equation. 350, maybe closer to, by the way, not the time. And again, changing the math formula, guys, we had an Atlantic fleet and you gotta remember because of our losses, we had to start stripping the Atlantic fleet and bringing stuff old to the Pacific. Talk about how we were getting Germany to fight a two front war. We were fighting a two front war. And everybody goes, whoa! We would have just come over here and take them if you take it from the Atlantic fleet you then have that resource unavailable for another front, don't you? Strategically, the entire world has changed. So when somebody makes some goofy statements, step back and think for a minute, well wait, wait, that suicide or kamikaze thing was dumb. Really? Somebody in the Japanese command had figured this out early. A lot of our family members would never have come back from that war and that it died close to So when everybody, when they do, the idea is you're not supposed to use your brain, you're not supposed to use metal processes. Because again, you don't even have to tell me about, well, as soon as they start doing this and we did figure it out, we'd have changed things. Yeah, but what could you have changed? In the early stages of the war, here's the problem. You would have done what you could to fix it. But guys, we could only produce so many ships so fast. And we weren't into the mass production that we were before 1943, 44. In that early stage of the war, had that happened, the possibility of replacing the combat losses, we would have had to have withdrawn our defensive, you know, grid appropriately. Hell, the Aleutian Islands campaign, which was supposed to be a distraction from both sides, suicide for whoever isolated. In our unfortunate case, the Japanese were the ones who got left on the short stick. But if all the rest of that math formula changed, the group in Alaska, they wouldn't have come back. of men that went out to war, you know, already we saw this with Wake Island, the Philippines, there would have been extended versions of that. All because with low tech, they would have defeated high tech. Say, well, we had the plans and we had their technology, the radio, well, of course, you know, their radio signal, you know, you know, code. But what if all that could be thrown out the window because of a simple direct application? It really couldn't be. There's nothing you could do to change it. It's not in the early stages. Now, progressively, you do this. You make the decisions that we did. World War II to add more guns. Why? Because Willa Jeffees were pulling planes up there, dudes. We want to shoot them down. So the Navy solution on the surface was put more bullets in the air. Junk in the air, which is what they did by putting more guns on the ships. And again, compare 41. Pennsylvania, 1944. My dad said that the name they gave for it was the Ugly Fleet. That was where all the old capital ships were running in a group because they were in the same era, so they were all the same steam And Donnie said, yeah, we escorted the ugly fleet several times. Everywhere they could. And you'll see that if you take a look at it, he goes, man, he goes, they had, you know, five inch boxes everywhere. They really didn't fit where they put them, but it was modular. Like I've told you before, guys, upgrade. What do you do? Modular. Think the same thing with vehicles. You want to see modular? Go look at all the fighting going on in the Ukraine and in Syria and in Libya. And what do you see? Oh, that's right. They take those modular guns and put them on the back of one. Pick up the truck. But that's not a combat vehicle. It is now. Yeah. Oh, but remember earlier they were all laughing about that when we were talking about it. You know who's doing that? The shills and the moles that are for the government? Exactly. Because I've told you about this for years guys, this is stuff we've talked about. You arm up everything and it will make you better. And guess what? Well I guess it wasn't so crazy after all because I can see three wars where they're fighting like this right now and they haven't stopped fighting like that, have they? Right? I hear the music, we are at the top. We're gonna be fighting at night, Don. Your number for night vision, please. If you want to see in the dark, I steal it from Joe. Give me a call. My number is 2317968458. Goggles or gun sight screens, screens or thermal, 2317968458. Got it. Let's do Republic. Death to the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. But we are on the march both day and night. Step back and think. Well, What decisions would you make that would improve your situation and minimize your losses? Well, it's a matter of looking at history, finding the solutions are there and the ideas are there to get that to apply them to our time. On your number for night vision and closes, Jeff Bennett coming up next. Oh hey, we're gonna stay till the bottom of the hour. Are you in on that? Oh, I don't know. Oh, what's wrong, Don? Oh, we're gonna stay till the bottom of the hour. Are you aware of that? It's the top? Oh, we are? Yeah. I was made aware of that. Oh, I didn't know that. Oh, well, Jeff Bennett. Yeah, okay. Jeff Bennett will be here in the bottom. We're going to pretend to be Jeff Bennett for a little bit. How's that sound? There you go. There we go. Sorry about that, guys. We'll be right back.
