Summary
Mark Koernke discussed spring driving safety, particularly motorcycle visibility, and drew parallels between attention to detail and constitutional rights. He criticized Republican politicians for failing to maintain ground on the Indiana Religious Freedom Restoration Act after initial passage, calling it fake opposition and evidence that political solutions are ineffective. The show featured Quartermaster Friday with Don Betcher discussing night vision technology sales, and included caller reports of clearance deals on camping gear, fishing hooks, and clothing at retail stores. Koernke also covered survival preparedness topics including cooling vests, fishing equipment, and upcoming events like Freedom Palooza and the Tulsa Arms Show.

Live 365. advance to the sound of the drums and the small arms fire, prepare to engage. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, this is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm R. Kornke. And I'm Don Betcher. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, west, southwest, east, and north. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, Indiana Freedom Talk Radio.com. We're on AM and FM microstations, CB base stations, and alternate hallmark and golden spike technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. I'll tell you what, Don, it's been a nice day today, although the weather's been up and down, cloud cover has been mixed, it's springtime. Remember March came in like a lion and out like a Siamese cat who pretended like it wanted to be bedded only to bite and scratch the snot out of you. And then it's still around for April! Oh wait a minute, I just thought it works. Aw little kitty, it has me needing a double. So the Siamese cats are... Well I can't say all of them are like that. We had one named Chang. My mom had a tendency to raise cats pretty cool. And for a Siamese cat, Chang was just about as cool as you could get. Well, actually, there's a few others, but that was probably, you know, again. There's several that she had Siamese cats. It was just she liked them. The girls liked the Siamese cats. I like Hello Kitty. If we could find a cat that looked like Hello Kitty, oh, wait a minute, we have one like that. It'd be okay, too. Anyway... It's that pink AK. Yeah, with the little AK. Got a little matching AK, and I've got one for her now. Little tiny one. Gotta get a little bow on the head, you know, hello kitty. Hello kitty says, don't mess with the US. At least be a free part of the US, not the slave end. Anyway, Don, what's today today, sir? What's jumping off the wall up there in your neck of the woods, please? Hey, it's the third day of April, year of our Lord 2015. It's actually brighter now than it was at the beginning of the five-hour, you know, pre-hards have opened up, allowing more light to come down here to part of planet Earth where Don is residing, but hey, you don't hear me complaining. Again, the, uh, and then 15. I want to touch on this. It's springtime and it's, there's a bit of bragging in here and whatnot. I was talking with my father yesterday. He's actually in the Detroit area. Well, he's talking about breaking her foot and that's what he would be moaning because, well, I don't want to have to spend another week here. Tell me, talking about his wife. Tell me, Don, tell me she's not going to say we have to stay another week here. And that's something I can't determine, Pop. I don't know. I can't see the future. And it went on and on for a minute. And then he changed his subject. Mark, he said, you guys, you have to understand resides in that there. Oh, what does he call it? You know, that city in Arizona that's actually like he calls it. I think we all like to call it tuxon. It agitates the people that live there. At any rate, my father is still riding his motorcycle, you guys. A week ago or two weeks ago Thursday, I wasn't here on the hour because I was at my father's surprise birthday party over there in, well, the upper, Detroit, for his 80th birthday. He still rides his motorcycle, and it's a Harley. It's not no little dinky little ... It's a man's bike, full-size motorcycle and all of that. He does abide by some rules like he tries to avoid riding on Friday night because well that's when you know things are a little crazier because of well paid payday and the bars are open on Friday night. My father still rides his motorcycle at 80 years old and he one of the comments he mentioned Mark was a man these guys they got their motorcycles out down here again referring to yesterday in the Detroit area like it's summertime. My father's used to like riding in a hundred degree weather. Most of these guys in Michigan, if they make sturges, they might see that 100 degree weather. Or if they make some of the other runs out west, they might see that. But 100 degrees here in the summertime is a rarity. But it's a wet heat, so 80 feels like 100 in Arizona. But he was surprised that they're out riding in 50 and 55 degree weather. And they're all bundled up. But he says, oh, they've got to be careful. It's the brand new season. And that is true, you know, out west they might ride a lot more and if it's a cold day they might not ride. They'll ride year round compared to here. I know a few people here who in the Detroit area who ride year round you guys. Where in winter they ride their motorcycle. Well you can't believe these guys, they're out like it's summer time. Now this goes over to what you're acclimated for, what you're used to and this is why I bring this to the hour. But I also want to remind you, it's spring time and the motorcycles are out. keep an eye out for them because you know it doesn't take much to hide a motorcycle behind that A post also known as you know most when you refer to a post in the car most people don't know what you're talking about mark you know it's it's that pillar on each side of your windshield that's your A post whether it's a Chrysler Chevy or a Mercedes Benz you can hide a motorcycle in that A post if your head is in just the right and the cars in just the right and that motorcycles are heading at you. This is one of the I saw him officer excuses to pull out into an intersection and that's got to be a sick, you know, motorcycle hit your car and immediately afterwards squishy stuff hit the motorcycle then hit your car. It can be avoided if you keep looking around. We've told you, you guys, in many, many ways, keep looking around. Check your six, you know. If you're sitting at a red light or if you're slowing down, While we're talking about the road and you look in your rearview mirror and you notice that the guy behind you, he doesn't have one of those brand new Mercedes that will automatically break or that brand new big Chevy that will automatically break in an avoidance detection. And you're slowing down and this guy just doesn't appear to be slowing down. Well, it wouldn't. It might be better to run the red light if you think you can get through it or make that right-hand turn into the ongoing traffic rather than be rear-ended by that guy. That's another example of keep looking around. And that's an extreme one. That calls for immediate action, doesn't it? And that calls for action in a number of directions, doesn't it? Because you're judging the threat from behind. Do I really need to get out of his way? And while you're doing that and making that conclusion, you're looking for a place to go, aren't you? Sounds like America right now, don't it? to get out of the way of the jug or not, but there ain't no place to go really. It's do we step to the left of the bull or to the right of the bull? Think about it. And this ain't no bull, but you know that's what the matador thinks is the bull is charging him. Am I going to move to the left or am I going to move to the right? At the very last instant, how do I deceive this threat to me that would run me over like a locomotor? Think about it. But before we move too far away from that particular thought line, you guys, keep an eye out for motorcycles. It's just a practice. And when you start looking for motorcycles on the road, it's a lot easier to see the car that, oh man, I pulled out in front of that car, I never saw him. But if you start looking for them, it's a lot easier to see the car. It goes over to paying attention to the finer things and then the bigger things get easier. So, you know, we aren't just talking about motorcycles and driving here. Paying attention to the little things makes attention to the bigger things easier. Because the little things are what make up the big thing. And we could talk about this, like the little thing like, well the Constitution is done you guys, let's show it to America and tell them this is it. And it's almost like let's ram this down their throats. Because all the Constitution was was a structure of government, how government runs. And what is expected from this part of government and that part of government. Then someone said, hey look, and they basically pointed that out. We're not going to agree to this unless we can run up some defenses for your average citizen in this model of government. We've got the right to become known as the first ten amendments. Again, there are those that say that, well, That's the biggest portion of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, because the rest of it is just how the government is structured and how the government is supposed to operate. But without the guarantee of rights in there, see those little things like just those. Compared to the rest of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights goes out on a couple of pages. In your pocket Constitution could be written on one page, college-lined notebook. Without it, the rest of it wouldn't have worked, because there were people that said, all this is. is the mechanism of government. It's not enough. And someone said, well, what do you want? And someone said, well, we need to pay attention to the little things like the people's rights. Because if we don't, we'll end up back in the same place we were in like 1765, 1767, and 1775, and 1776. Only they were saying this in 1788 and 1789. So, you know, we talk about learning from the past. And that's, you know, that's a blink of in the long run. When you think of, well, the war started in 75 and now we're drawing up our own papers of freedom in 88, 89. That's a blink of an eye. That's in all of that action in one young man's life. And when it's done, well, he's older, but he's still basically a young man. So again, you know, we, it might seem like, Well, Don, we know this. But you guys, you know, you can look, you can take and look at one thing and study it for a while and find out how it compares to so many other things. As example, paying attention to that motorcyclist is going to make it a lot easier to see that green car coming up that road that's lined with pine trees. Okay? The thing even smaller, weren't you? And paying attention to your freedom paying attention to what's going on around you sometimes comes down to looking at the dinky little things because it's like, hmm, or was there more change in that bucket or did that bowl have any change in it when I, I know it did but it's empty now. And that's just a dinky little thing, a little handful of change. To use that word different, wouldn't that change your opinion about the person who was sitting there? I don't think I can try paying attention to the dinkiest little things, you guys. 47 cents in a bowl or something along that line. You know, we've brought this as example. A good way to test a group of people is to put something on the table that might have interest to most of everybody there and leave it there. And someone eventually will ask the question, hey, who's is that rubber band or who's is that dog? Who owns this dog collar or who owns this rifle? And if you don't say anything, It could be your rifle. And again, we did preface this. This is a good test of a group of people. And if you don't say anything, you just look at the crowd and somebody might mumble and somebody else might say something. And then they go, oh, and you hear it. I don't know. I've never seen it before. And then the next time everybody's there, whose gun is that? And by the third or fourth time, so, oh, that's mine. I forgot all about it. And you know for certain, because it was yours to begin with. And there are those that would say, well, Don, that's entrapment. Oh, no, it's not. It's more like enlightenment. Because if it was his gun, he'd have said, yeah, that's my gun, right away. And if he coveted it, if he wanted it, he'd have figured, oh, he'd have sat there for a while and oh, nobody's claimed that gun. And now this is the second or third meeting or time we've been here and nobody's claimed that gun, I'm thinking. And the thought goes through the crook's mind. I wonder if I can get away with it. Nobody said it's theirs. And the third or fourth time, oh yeah, I left it here last, yeah, yeah, I forgot all, that's mine. When you know who's gun it is. So there are ways to even weed to figure on who's a little more honest than everybody else in the crowd because generally that's going to bring about gregarious kind of crook. It's not being sneaky to say out loud, oh that's my gun! Audacious, isn't it? So again, we can look at a bunch of little things and we can take them and pick them apart or we can say, man, I can take that and I can apply it like a blanket across some great big things or I can take some of the great big things that we're seeing and apply it right down to like who stole the change in that jar. And I just use that as example, you guys. It comes to paying attention. It comes to looking at the little things and by looking at the little things and it's easier sometimes to see the big things coming. From time mark, I yield to you, sir. Well, one thing real quick here, because we know we're going to lose you in a minute, well, in a few minutes we don't want to take and let you be silent. Well, we're all full circle and almost back to the bottom of the hour. Technology being what it is, night vision technology is your forte. That is what you get your mission here, Don. Well, one of many. And because of that, guys, if you are in need of night vision technology, this is Quartermaster Friday. There's a bunch of technology that is coming gone in night vision, ideas that people did come up with. They actually work, but for whatever reason they're out of vogue in terms of design. There's only so much you can actually do with optics to begin with. But what we presently have available, barring first generation pretty well being bumped out, of course, other than the digital white, We've got some major changes that have just taken place. Don put you ahead of the wave. A lot of you right now are smiling because you paid a reasonable price for a product that now can't be accessed. That's kind of cool. In other words, in reality though, you see the problem is since it can't be accessed, there's nothing that happens. The price on the ones that are available that are left goes up, which it has. So, you're already ahead of the curve because you listened to Mr. Betcher here. And that means that you guys have your ear to the right rail. Now, Don, you still have night vision technology available when we're looking at second gen. We are going to be researching the first gen digital guys. We're going to be putting it through every conceivable pace we can hear very soon. I've got uniforms, equipment, gear, everything queued up and we're going to be dragging down out into the woods. But we're going to also demonstrate by using another piece of equipment how it is that we need to deal with securing that new digital technology so that it does not become a detriment. It can be used but we're going to have to come up with a solution. We're going to be doing research and experiment and see if it fails or flies and then, you know, again go on to the next idea. Now Don, you've got it, it's available, how can we get ahold of you? What do we have? And what are the changes coming up, please? Well, a second generation gun sight, throw away capable. You guys, you'll see it advertised out there, done it like this, and I'm matching somebody else's price here just so... I'm looking for a reaction to the Guile Price Match at 101%. Second generation night arrow. Again, .308 capable. It'll thumbscrew down to your 7.8s or your 1 inch, your Weaver or your Picatinny rail respectively. You're going to need that rail on your gun. I don't offer, I've got as much a source for rails as anybody listening. I don't offer rails, but if you've got a rail on your gun or can mount a rail on your gun, you can mount this night vision, onsite, rifle scope. on your rifle. $55, that's $1,140 plus $15 delivery right in your mailbox and that's cheaper than laser king and cheaper than a bunch of other people and don't tell anybody that price. If you're looking, give me a call. My number is 231-796-8458. I say that facetiously if your buddy's looking here at here, but call me on the telephone. My number is 231-796. go to the website, don't let the price scare you. Again, that's my advertised price. If you call, I can do better than that. And in fact, it's not I can, I will better than the price that's advertised there. My number is 2317968458. And again, that second site you guys write in your mailbox, 2POWER308 capable, $55, $1,155. And if you look around, that's the price for that device right now my number is two three one seven nine six eight four i heard another dang maybe we have a or with a question you you okay interesting you know real quick here and i think you've probably seen the the uh... pieces we effect was on that this morning about the uh... pizza story and uh... indiana that uh... basically said it's not going to be uh... catering to the poofters And needless to say, the interesting thing about this is with the addendums and all the other attachments, basically the panty waste, rubber lip, rubber schnozed, suppose that what I know you can't even call them rhinos because they're all they are just the other leftists after they were all motivated and they get everybody behind them and they passed the law the way they did now they've all flip-flopped apparently they pulled out all the pictures of these characters with you know as pedophiles or in homosexual bath houses or whatever and they've added so many dimmums that basically it's like why did you bother writing this because it neutralizes whatever was intended Well, of course, the Puftehs are still pissing and moaning with the people who decided to stand up to the queers, who of course are trying to urinate in everybody's backyard, front yard, or demandings eventually to pedophile your children once they get their way here in the next few years. And they almost got it last year. They came close. And now the Puftecor is attacking the pizza store. Well, the problem is a lot of other people are stepping forward and apparently they've got about half a million dollars in support for the pizza parlors. So it's like, well, with that kind of money, you could even move to a different location or build a bigger store. In other words, go to another location and build a bigger store. But as it is, the core component of this story from pretty much every direction is the same. That the rubber lip, no spine, all you hear whenever anything gets serious is the two oysters plopping away from their groin area and they hit the floor. And from that point forward they're oyster-less. You know what I mean? And I mean, typically they are anyway. They're spineless. How can you stand... The boys need up three actors? Yeah, they all of a sudden they all join the Vienna, let's see, the Republican Vienna Boys Choir. Because none of them know how to hold their ground and none of them know how to deal with a fight. They're all limp dinks across the board. And this has happened so many times. So why bother with these fools? Seriously, what needs to happen is people need to get away from the idiots and get into creating a new party or something. If you're thinking about party politics, everybody should be talking about getting into new party politics because these characters have never held their ground. They don't have any intestinal fortitude whatsoever. They're as limp weenie as the poof is on the other side, or except the poof is on the other side. They just don't surrender anything as far as ground goes and they demand everything. non-stop. So gee, what a surprise. So as it is, I mean, it's to the point where ad nauseam, we've seen this one, two, three, four decades now that I've lived through, and it's always the same BS. We're going to fight, oh, Sam Adams, oh, oh, the founding fathers, and it's going to be like a revolution, and we're going to dig our heels in, and we're going to fight this and fight that, and it's the moment that the bad guys, the enemy, looks at them, and they are their enemy. The moment their enemy looks at them cross-eyed or just mildly like starts to cross their arms, there's these blubbering sounds from all these rat politicians. And it's, I didn't mean it, I wasn't doing it. That's exactly how these characters are looking. No intestinal fortitude whatsoever. And again, why are you supporting these people? Well, they did all of this and they did all of that and then they got right up to the finish line and in reality, here's what gets me done. They got the house, They got the Senate passed, the governor signed it, and then they all pissed their pants and defecated in their drawers and flopped over sideways. There's an example of the ring knockers and the real world and how this thing is working. It's all fake opposition. absolute, farcical, fake opposition. Whenever you hear one of these politicians start to flap their yap about, the Founding Fathers and we're gonna fight, start laughing out loud. I am serious. Start laughing out loud at them. You rubber-lipped, big schnosh muck. You're not gonna do jack or squat. Even if you win, you'll lose. I mean, this is a hands down, I mean guys, everybody always said, boy, if we can get it past the House and the Senate, the big fight is to get it through the governor's office. Well, they had all three, and then look what the panty waste do. My God, it's like you won. You literally won, and so it was like, oh my God, oh, the queer poof does, the poo-bahs, all the rest of her tells you weren't supposed to win. You know, that wasn't part of the script. So now after you've won in the House and the Senate and you had the governor's office, it shows that the whole thing is a lie. I hope everybody understands, throw the cartridge box forward. Ignore the ballot box. It's a joke. So everybody did all their hard work and they all fought hard and they were there for all the committee meetings and boy we got all these guys in there and you know he's got a three-piece suit and he's got that nice plastic smile and wiggles his shoulders back and forth just like when he says I'm gonna be working for you you know and he takes the tie off and buttons the suit and takes it all off and he fake rolls his arms you know his sleeves up on his arm window dressing yes exactly I'm just disgusted by this because here's an example. For everybody who thinks that there is going to be a political solution, there is not. And there's the best example. They had everything. So why did these idiots go to catatonic brain fart and then flop over on their backs? They literally had it. Majority, majority, majority. Have you ever seen the the demikin slash the communists do that where they take in your law? We want all but we're just gonna roll over on our backs. Have you seen that ever? It's only with the fake opposition with the Republic rats that this happens and it's all because it's supposed to be window dressing and it did. Oh my god, we actually don't Oh little back up now and and what is the explanation? You see, well, we had to clarify, it was clear as it is. We send a resounding message, this is what it means, and yes, those people don't have to count out of your queer ways. What's your point? That's why people are backing, I said this this morning, and I'll just say, guys, what more can you do when you, victory, victory, victory, because the governor's office signing it is a victory unto itself. That's the rare thing. So the governor did sign it. And then all of a sudden everybody pissed their pants and it was like, well, throw their hands up in the air and immediately just overturn everything that you just passed. In other words, completely undermine and subvert everything they just passed. Did the Democrats and Republicans do that with the gun grab in Connecticut? Or are they just holding their ground and just standing there? They're just sitting there right now. They didn't back off, didn't rescind it. They froze. Of course, they learned that they'd get their arse shot if they proceeded. So how is it they can understand that part with the gun grab thing, but it doesn't seem to sink in with the rest of this here? Isn't that amazing? All because people are putting their faith in creatures, again, rubber lip, plastic, big plastic schnoz, Groucho Marx type schnoz, and it's always the same routine. And they're just flabby, soft. That's the most important element of this that needs to be understood. It's not all the rest of the garbage afterwards, you know, oh, they're raising money for this. No, that's not what's relevant. It's the idea they won. And they couldn't even hang onto a stinking victory with a total, with 100% total. So tell me how the ballot box is gonna work for Jack squat with these kinds of, with what is offered to you by the hack politicians. This is the best example for anybody who opens their mouth is shut them up with this. Well, what about Indiana? all year we did this and then they turned right around even though they won one one day lost lost lost turn around and handed the defeat renal right over to the enemy tell you some anyway i want to point that out because every time look at it this is so disgusting it's like anyone who i want to see the slops and then if you don't don the one thing is all the one that the republican rat uh... governor was you know yap it about what presidential run why it is an example of of the future of this this piece of your feces and the rest of the package runner on the place by polls morsel than bill clinton did exactly Oh, oh my goodness, all of a sudden they've turned an eye towards us. Time to defecate in your drawers and hand everything over. Please, how many of them ain't constituents? Can I surrender to Cthulhu, the Soul Eater? Yes, and did you want their children to pedophile too? Oh, no problem. See, because that, and I'm not, this is not even a joke anymore when I'm bringing that up. That's not an if. That's now on the plate, guys. Does everybody understand that? That is on the plate. And the first person I hear that tells me, well, I didn't think they'd do that, I'm gonna smack them right in the head. When that next phase, when that next foot hits, there's gonna be these people who did the, well, I didn't think they, okay, well, now they have. You ready to shoot their hangin'? You should've been before, to be quite honest. Because I don't think that eight-year-old's gonna recover from whatever they're gonna do to him, you know what I mean? And don't forget that mambla quote, which is why I bring up that eight. Because they weren't, oh, we're looking for consenting teenagers. No, they're not. These are perverts that are looking for children. Mark, I have this grant. I know. You've got to go, Don. And again, Don's going to be taken off now. But remember, guys, Quartermaster Friday continues. Don, we can get a hold of you. How do we do it? Two, three, one, seven, nine, six, eight, four. Again, two, one, seven, nine, six. They're gun sites. Green screens are thermal. One, seven, nine, six, eight, four, five, eight. And again, be careful on road down. Oh yeah. I got a muffler. I'm a lot less liable to be pulled over now. You should have put a bigger bore muffler on telling them it's a dry yet. You got it from the store. Which you did. It just didn't have anything to do with the muffler being bad. I've seen some of these new sewer pipes are putting on the diesels. Which are about the size of a stinking football. I don't know if you've caught that. You'll take a football to plug them out. Yeah. And it's, you know, everybody's under racer when they... That also covers up the rod that's getting ready to go. Anyway, okay, you be careful. I'll tell you what, we're headed to the, oh we're past the bottom of the hour, could have a bottom of the hour break here if Ed wants to, and that would of course help us to bring up our sponsors, just in case. And I know Ed's probably, ooh yeah, he's right in the middle of hooking up more equipment, he's going, oh no. And so we're just past the, there we go, we're gonna go to break, we'll be right back here, just pay attention to our sponsors, Liberty Tree Radio, support them, they're supporting them, it's why we were able to get, help out those people.

A dollar a piece, brand new of course. And in the mossy oak and in the straw pattern. For a dollar a piece, woodland camouflage and swift camouflage type, long sleeve T-shirts and thermals in camouflage. Dollar an item. Pants were $3. Other camouflage shirts were $2 a top. So check them out, get to the stores, watch for the sales racks. Hey, OD green, earth brown, and the other colors should be grabbed too, along with the grays. Why? Hey, for a dollar an item, brand new sweats, top and bottom, a dollar a top, a dollar a bottom. You can't meet them people. And again, I know it's China Sport. And the idea here is at the very least, you can pack this stuff up and somebody shows up and they're bare butt naked. or they get wet, they get dirty, they gotta have change of clothes. You can give them the clothes and say, keep them. That's kinda cool, isn't it? Oh yeah, just take them with you. Don't worry about bringing them back. Be yours now. Congratulations. for a whole $2, $1 top, $1 bottom, you can't beat that. So watch for that and other seed. Well, they're really not out of season yet, but the artificial intelligence has told the people because they have the idiot machine now doing the bookkeeping that they need to get rid of their product right in the middle of the season where the stuff would be used. Well, that's good. I don't want them to change. We're profiting from that. We're benefiting from that. We're getting cool equipment and material that we need from that. So grab more, don't hesitate, don't wait, carry it home. Just that simple. I ain't worried about them fixing their machine. That's their problem. They broke it. We didn't. The other thing there again is take advantage of the many other pieces of technology that are out there too that seem to be on the markdown end. Or we're seeing a little bit of price from some of the big stores, which is kind of rare because usually they've been just no different recently. from one location to the next. But the small duck box radios, a couple of different places that were mentioned by Bill in the morning program, I would point out again, check the different chain stores out. The only problem is they may have the radios, but they may not have any antennas, which I think is really bizarre, but hey, part is better than none, and we can track down the rest. If need be, we can even build our own. I mean, we have done that in the past. We just haven't had to because China support's been available. Well, it's obvious that they're catching on that we're taking advantage of the inexpensive items, so they're IDing the fact that while we're cleaning out certain products, and then they're not restocking. Not just at the by the way not just at the retail end as far as retail stores But I'm talking also with the suppliers that do the jobber work or even do like the deal extreme type of sales You'll see stuff. They completely buy sells out. It sells fast It definitely was you know hot on the market But no replacement and no replacement on the horizon and not taking backwards so very interesting in and of itself But as we know there's a lot of things that come in as final industrial surplus especially in electronics where if you see it and you think you like it, you better grab it. A little quick note again, as has been the case, dealextreme.com guys, I joke with our people out of Wyoming, they bought two of the new 15 watt FM microstations from Deal Extreme. One's black, one's silver. The silver cost $1.67 more. There is absolutely no difference between the two machines, except the one silver, the one black. So apparently if you order black, it's like, you know, Ford. You know, you can have any color as long as it's black, and you get it for a flat rate. But if you ask for any other color, silver, which is the only other color you can get, you have to spend two more dollars. It's like, I think I could suffer with black and take the two dollars and spend it on ammo, magazines, something, batteries. Just something to think about there. So always look at the models and it's like, oh, the big difference of Model A is a black and it is $3.49 for this handheld radio. The silver one, oh, the silver one, it's $5.25. You get much better because it's silver. Well, they look like the same model. Oh, they are. We just paint over the one with silver. And then we charge you big money. Big money, almost twice the price of a dollar or something more, almost twice the price of the original product. What does that tell you? Not that that's an extreme amount, but hey, for that kind of price, when they're cheap, you can buy more of the same radio. Just buy them in black. Then you get lots more radios. The same is true with other equipment. Pay attention to that. And of course, also watch for the group of bulk rates. SteelXtreme does have large bulk rate prices on 12 radios, 18 f***ing gang packs, and more. So you want to check them out. Remember, your savings is not going to be as great as the jump you see from 1 to 3 or from 1 to 3 and then to 6. But it will still be a savings in general because they do give you a bulk price and quantity price the more you pick up. If you look at the packages, and not everything is built into those multi packages like that. But the handhelds, apparently because obviously, cop shops, cop shop wannabe sites, other police operations, businesses, factories, you know, needless to say they need more than a few radios. And so they're buying them in lumps. Well, that's why these packages have been put together. So they're definitely worthwhile. Do we have a caller? Hey, Mark. Go ahead, caller. Who do we have? This is Rich from Utica. Go ahead, Rich. Yeah, I was just calling to tell you that I got your message about I wanted to think in the morning. Oh yeah, we got the address correction and we're good. Oh, okay. Because I just said that. That was right. Yeah, it was how it was written down. You probably gave it to him right, but it was just a little miscalculation there. It should be good. Hey, and I was going to say I was at Meyers today, and over on Hall Road in, like, Macomb County there. And they had blow-up mattresses, twin-sized mattresses, right, like $35 on clearance for $7. Excellent. And which one was that again? On Hall Road, M59 in, I think it's Sterling Heights. Excellent. Well, if you have them on one, they may have them at the other two. So Hall Road and M59, and that's at the Meyers, thrifty acres. They have the Elmanters. They had six of them. How many? I had to pick up two. There was six of them, so now there's four, but. Okay, there's only four left at that one. Well, maybe we're lucky we'll find them at the others too, but that's an excellent price. We had fishing hooks for like 34 cents. Yes, that's what I was saying before. So they finally put them on sale there too? Yep, I called for it. Well again, that's for the other miners. See the one that we have near us, we already cleaned them out. I think they're a little late on it here. Yes, but still that's a great, again guys, we don't know which stores. This one telling everybody to keep an eye out. Watch for this. because you're talking Eagle Claw, there's a number of different brands. They had treble hooks and standard hooks, and then they had many sizes and standard hooks. I tried to get as many packs as I could. I only had a few dollars in my pocket and a bunch of change. But when it was only like 17 cents and 32 cents, and the other one, I think the bigger packs were 59, well hell, you got a big pile of fishing hooks for a handful of dollars, a few dollars. So take a look. So the good thing is we didn't ship it out and then have it come back because you got to pay to have it, you get it back from them. You have to ransom it back because they pay it out, they charge you now for shipping it back to wherever it came from. In the past it used to be direct ship and that's it. And if you failed, then they failed. So just a little heads up there and again thank you to Rich for the follow up on that. I would also point out that that double mattress is really cool because those are air inflatable like emergency devices if all else fails. Not the first choice for some people, but hey, a big square floating air block. It's kind of nice to be able to get across the water obstacle on, or at least move cargo on. The neat thing is I've got several of these that I've picked up, or that are brand new in the box, because people have picked them up, and then they've really decided not to use them. And every one of them works. Every one of them has a self-evading, or motor-invading, and motor system, and a hand pump that comes with them too. So if you have electricity, if you don't have electricity, Congratulations, you got yourself a ready-made bed, which is kind of nice if we have a bunch of people show up and we need to put more people into quarters. That's why I haven't gotten rid of any of the ones I picked up. I've got three of the larger ones and then one or two of the single bed type, which is cool. Those are not as common, really. The doubles are more likely. Anyway, Myers 50 Acres and they may have some fish hooks left and some sinkers, you never know. Also, check the other stores because of that. These mark downs where they do this down to 10% of what the original cost was, that's the artificial intelligence telling them that you just couldn't possibly sell those fishing hooks with the upcoming fishing season, right? So you need to get rid of them all because, well, that way the other fish hooks can come in that are just like the fish hooks you sold at bargain basement price. See, if you were a business with intelligence, you wouldn't be doing that. But because of artificial intelligence goofiness, they are. So again, grab it while we can until they go out of business and then can't do it anymore. Because it's not an if, it's just a when that will happen. Anyway, a couple of things here on that note with regard to survival kits. Fishhooks, something we just brought up. Fishhooks and sinkers. And then if you're going to go with fishing line, cheapest to go just with the strength line. But if you can find the Kevlar line, there's a couple of reasons. That's really desirable. Now it's tougher to cut than everything, but it can be done easily if you use the right tools with you. A snipper is really the best way to do it. But I would point out that again, the Kevlar line, what's really cool is great for snares, great for again using for other projects where you want something that isn't going to break, you know, is unlikely to break. The neat thing is that the Kevlar line is still out there, but watch Distress Stores, you know, like secondary merchandise stores because some of the stuff has been sitting on the shelf, they routed it back off the market, and now it's showing up in the Distress Merchandise Stores. That's fine. If you can find a place that's a resale shop, we have a couple of, we used to have really big industrial ones that were in Napoleon and Jackson, Michigan. There's just the south and the west of us. But the one closed down and had a big fire. Whether or not there was Hebrew lightning, we don't know. But unfortunately that fragged a lot of the inventory. The other went more industrial and is kind of shied away. Originally it was open to the public and store sales. Then it went to private sales as in for a distributor, you know, as a distributor, and then kind of disappeared. So I don't know if they kind of, you know, cut their own tendons and destroyed their business or not, more if they shifted on to another location. But these places float around and they vary as far as access goes. So if you run into one, make a point of checking on them because a military surplus shows up just as likely as not. One of the things that I was able to get from the one site that was, again, that's changed its modus operandi, is the summer mesh military shirts that were made for, well actually made for winter or summer, but they're the cotton wool blend in a large mesh, a little bigger than the normal sport shirt. These are some of the best extreme cold weather and extreme hot weather vests you could run into. What you normally do if it's hot weather, soak them the night before in advance. Let them, you know, again, sit out in the cool, you know, the cool air, but soaking up the water, they're literally in a bucket of water. Ring them out, put them on, put the t-shirt over that, put the rest of your gear on, and in summer, in the summertime environment, a natural convection cools the body. Now, since then, there's been the sucker t-shirts, which everybody, you know, here actually sucks the moisture away from the body. You can actually hear it going, It's a fiber that they developed here. It's a new poly fiber. It is sewn together up in Lansing, Michigan and other locations used with undergarments that the military buys. There are several other solutions, but crude, rude and effective, the hemp vest or in this case the cotton wool vest work the same way, the mesh vest. They're designed basically like a sleeveless or lightly sleeved, short short sleeved t-shirt with a mesh body. But it's in a cotton wool so that it's absorbent. When you soak it with water and then wring it out to the point where it's still lightly damp and you put it on, you become one being giant. It becomes a canteen cover over you, the big bag of water. In other words, it works the exact same way that a canteen cover that's wool that is wet uses convection to cool the canteen water inside even though there's no refrigeration per se going on. It's amazing how warm water can be cooled right down to a very palatable temperature simply by being inside the canteen cover which is soaked in water itself and can be carried for a period of time and bring the temperature of the water that may be recovered down. Some of the thing about there, well it works the same with you. We're, again, we're mostly big by Remember that Star Trek episode? Yeah, next generation. Well, it is true. So again, this is a trick that works. Notice I mentioned hemp vest first. The hemp vest was the norm, and in fact, before we got into the anal retentive control freak nonsense, a lot of people knew about the hemp wool or the hemp cotton vest. of this type 120 years ago. It's one of those many tricks of the trade that kind of disappears behind the scenes because nobody's there, you know, taking notes or passes on to the next generation everything that they learn. And eventually it comes out in the wash from another angle and everybody discovers it and then it's re-embraced and only to be lost again in the the dim twilight of the ages as the days pass on. So again, you can use the sport shirts, but basically those are a nylon. You'll notice those do not hold water very well, if at all, and have a tendency to dry up pretty quick. They're designed to wick moisture away and then allow it to bleed off because it's typically an exposed surface. The idea behind the convection vests, slash the mesh vest, is that they work in the same way as a small micro air conditioning system. In that the moisture actually pulls, doesn't just pull, but also helps to transmit and reprocess the calories and break things down through a real refrigeration step-by-step system. Well, it's a cooling system, I won't say refrigeration. You aren't exactly gonna see steam rolling. I should say mist rolling off you when you open your shirt up. The refrigerator in summer. That's probably just sweaty steam off you because well eventually you do get hot again. Anyway, we are almost to the top of the hour here. A reminder again, if you can donate to Liberty Tree Radio, but thank you to the people who donated, stepped into the drawings and helped us out because we have again been able to upgrade. Also, this is because of one of our long time listeners who also has donated a significant amount and again did what he promised to do. and stepped into the breach there guys so between everybody we're getting the job done patriot would is kicking in a high gear our friends down there i don't know what it would get all the guys are supposed to be around spartan berg there filming at one of the memorial so they were a couple days ago but they may be all over on the coast now uh... can again the word to get all the b c c disease back there and uh... you know not too far from spartan berg uh... the next This group is out in northern, actually, central California on the coast. They're actually filming on the ocean right now. So we're going to have some really cool footage, and we will be filming live in Colorado for weeks, for weekends out. We also have Freedom Palooza coming up. We will be there. And we're going to be at Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot. That's coming up also, guys. So all points of the compass. A lot of running around still to do and all of you need to make a point of passing, you know, spreading the word about how to get there and what's happening. Again, we've got to bring more people into the fold. We need individuals to, you know, get up to speed as quickly as they can, make personal decisions about how best to prepare and act on those, you know, those choices. Make sure that, again, they follow through. One more thing before we go, the Tulsa, you know, Wanamaka's Arm Show, the Tulsa Arm Show, Wanamaka's. April 11th and 12th, that's two weekends out. This weekend coming up is one and then there's the other. And that's Expo Square, Tulsa Fairgrounds, Tulsa Oklahoma. Go ahead, caller. If you could get me the contact information for our Canadian winner of the Bible, I'd like to mail that out. Oh, Ed has it right there. Ed would be the one to talk to. I'll tell you what, will you guys come up? Well, he would just email me that information and I'll get it in the mail Tuesday when the post office opens up. very good and ed while they want guys you're going to be taken over here just a minute we should be here in the music as we are at the top right now uh... militia town hall meeting becoming a next ed we need to pass that information on the b c and uh... with us i'll be getting all this stuff in the mail again a number of other letters going out guys everybody watch mailboxes uh... You know what you're going to get in the way of surprises because we got a bunch of other things that were provided and even though you may not have won, you might have won something anyway. We'll see what happens. Anyway, uh oh, it's probably flipping switches. He's got wire between his teeth. He's got, well, the needle nose had poked him in the face twice from getting too close to the board. He's working on there and I think his fingers are singed on the left hand there a little bit, but that's okay. That's what grounding to a short will do to you. So anyway, eventually God bless the Republic.
