He took off his three-cornered hat and speaking low to me, he said, We've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations this legacy we gave. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money is spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken snumber. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm. And keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors, so their children will be. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores, and send your sons to slaughter, fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God-given right to torture freedom burning bright. As Iowoki vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God-given right, we only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Dill the Land of the Free Government scum that are listening. Freedom Talk Radio and they are broadcasting live in this hour and the next, the Intelligence Report. Well, hey, it's the 21st day, isn't it? Might be the 22nd. Let me check that piece of paper on the wall there. It's actually, hey, it is the 22nd day of April, year of our Lord 2016. And sometimes it's good to have a paper brain someplace, but it's a wonderful day. The sun is out, the intermittent clouds in the sky, and well, it rained through the night and it's dry now. It's just a wonderful day. The laundry on the line is drying. And you don't even have to run the dryer. How does it work? At any rate, you guys, it is again the 22nd day of April, 2016. Mark will be with us in a while and we'll deal with it. How does that go? Will Adapt and Overcome and you know all of that and Proceed forward. But Mark will be with us in a little while. Conversations today here about that guy, Wood, Keith Wood. We'll talk about that in a little while. But I gotta say, uh, You know, on occasion we bring movies to the hour. We'll bring this example, or did you see that, or we joke about treat them like a zombie, you know. The, all of the options to the zombie movies, you know. Treat them like a zombie, you know. You gotta shut them off, you know. Like that one sheriff said, you know, they're dead, they're all messed up. Or if you have to treat them like a zombie, don't feel too bad about it. Again, you know, bringing that reference from movies. The other day we brought up that Ip Man. That guy's the guy who trained Bruce Lee. One of the people who gets the most credit for training Bruce Lee. Ip Man. That's I-P. Ip. Last name, M-A-N. Now, the Ip is a family name. That's how the Chinese do it. They put the family name first. There's been a number of movies about Ip Man. We've talked about him. over the years. The number three came out out of sequence. They had to put a number on it to put it into the sequence of the earlier three. So there was a one and a two in the final fight. Now there's a one and a two and a three in the final fight. But I'm bringing this to the hour for a reason. The number three movie about Ip Man talks a lot about his home life and the relationship with his wife and his going out into the world and carrying on like well fighters do and teachers do. the contest of, your kung fu is very weak, my kung fu is stronger. You know, you might have heard that in a number of different references, even to computer abilities, my kung fu is stronger than yours. In the real world, there's that comparison. Teachers, masters, you know, Sufi, sometimes they have friendly fights to establish rank, literally to establish rank. A little bit away from the subject here, but I wanted to talk about that number three for a minute, because You guys, there is a scene in that movie. And of all of the Ip Man 1, 2, 3 in the final fight, this is the most beautiful scene in this movie. And I'll describe it to you. We talked about it briefly the other day. But now, the scene goes something like this. There's Ip Man and his wife sitting at the doctor's office, and they get up to leave. She has cancer. And they're just walking away from finding that out to be sure. They know it now, before it was we think. But now they've got the bad news. And they're walking away from the office and they're on the fifth floor. We talked about fighting in an elevator and on stairwells the other day, didn't we? But I want to elaborate on this on a more personal level. Man and his wife, we don't even have to put a name to it, but it was It Man and his wife Wei Xing. And they get in the elevator and just before the grate on the elevator, you know, the collapsible safety door, it kind of is like the door for your dog at the top of the stairs or your child at the top of the stairs, you know, it collapses. Before that closes and the big solid door swings closed, a hand grabs the door. And he looks at the hand and the hand opens up and he's looking right at the eyes of the man who's looking right at the eyes of his target. The guy coming into the elevator has been hired to kill him. away ever so slightly and as he watches this man, this man slips off his sandals. That's a pretty good indicator because well people who are trained to fight barefoot, they like to fight barefoot because that's how they're trained. You know how does that go? Train like you'll fight, fight like you've trained. Watch as this, this man's discarding his sandals, he moves his feet ever so slightly and his sandals are off as the door is closing, handing a package to his wife. dangling on a piece of string, all bound together, moves his hand ever so slightly, and his wife, knowing what's about to take place, you should have seen her face when this man came into the door. She knew something was going to happen from her husband, and as the door closes, the man turns and his first attack is a high kick, and the high kick is directed into the wall, and his wife moves behind her husband. And they move around in this elevator, and he's always trying to be between and his wife, always trying to protect his wife in this fight while they're in this dinky little small area of an elevator. In fact, in one instant he drives his opponent to the far wall and works him over there on the wall for just an instant, but because he's got his back to the wall, he extends his arms and pushes his opponent, if man, back toward his wife to the opposite corner, he spreads his arms and catches his hands and elbows on the corners as he's moving toward being thrown literally toward the corner that his wife is standing in trying to stay away from the fight as much as possible. He doesn't touch himself there. He doesn't even touch his wife. No interruption, no damage, no hurt. That was the intention there. He spread his arms wide. He left himself open to his opponent rather than hurt his wife. He's back in the fight. That instant right there. Just that instant in that fight that says so much, demonstrated there. What was that that was shown? He's not going to hurt his wife. He's going to give himself up for an instant of vulnerability so that he doesn't hurt his wife. Why do we fight? It's demonstrated right there in that instant of that whole fight. It's a horrific fight. He fights until he bends this man's knee to the ground. And like you're taking a chicken apart, you hear the of the knee joint. And no doubt it's not real. It's Hollywood. That was a sound effect. But it looked rather convincing. And at the same time, he lifts his knee up off and opens that earlier mentioned grate and fights pushes this guy out into the hallway. Now as the door closes, his wife is standing in the elevator watching the door close, watching her husband out there getting ready to fight this guy who wants to kill him. Because that's what he was paid to do. The elevator goes down, it sinks, and the fight goes on. And we described this fight the other day. It's across flat floors. He's driving his opponent down the stairs, literally. He fights him over to here, and he fights in such a way that all of a sudden his opponent's back is to the stairwell. And he kicks him down the stairs. And then they're fighting in the stairwell. And then they're fighting on another portion and he's lower than his opponent, Ip Man is. And a kick comes up to his head and he grabs the foot and turns the foot. So now the opponent is taken off his feet and he drags him down the stairs. And when he's on the floor and tries to get up, he kicks him again and he slides over to the wall. And then they fight some more. And then, and I'll tell you this, they get to the bottom of the stairs to the garage level floor. And he works hard, it's really hard to work the same technique on someone, an opponent back to back in a fight. Because generally they don't allow that. They've seen it once, they don't allow it to happen again. He's got his opponent against the wall. His opponent works his way off the wall. He levers his head, his hand and his foot all at the same time. And his opponent is thrown over there about four feet away to the ground. Now he steps out of the stairwell. and his opponent gets back up and starts a high kick into the kick. So the kick runs beyond him. He lifts the kick to his shoulder. The foot is past his shoulder now. He does the same technique on the person. Moving the head, moving the hand, and striking the foot. Only this time very viciously. You see, it's not like Hollywood, you see this guy take this attack and he's thrown about seven feet away and lands on his shoulder. Now that had to be very painful. It didn't look like there were mats on those marble floors. Things like this, don't we? We don't necessarily train for high kicks and close quarters combat in a particular... you, or under a certain name. Karate, or, or Akido, or Taekwondo, or, or Yip-shogutsi, or whatever, or over there in Israel it's that Krav Magog, which is stolen from everything else. But we don't necessarily train under a particular umbrella of a name. But why do we train? We don't train. When we first start to train, many of us train, we think about this, I want to be better. I don't want to take a beating anymore. I have trained with black belts who have never been in a fight in their life. Never been in a fight in their life. Not their whole life! But still they train, then gain that rank and try to gain more and train more and get better and better. Now sometime in that training you come to the point that this is not just for me. What do you mean by that Don? This is not just for me. There is another scene in the same movie where Ip Man is sitting with his wife Wing Shin. She poses the question, the statement at the same time. She says, there's an old saying that your life belongs to you but it does not belong to you. And she elaborates, she says, for a long time I did not understand that, but now I do. She's looking at her husband who is basically a pillar in the community for right. He's not a hired fist, he's stood up against a number of them over the years. Well respected in the community for his ability and his defense of the innocent or the defenseless. She says to him again, There's an old saying that says, your life belongs to you, but it does not belong to you. And she continues, she says, for a long time, I did not understand that. She says, but now I do. Your life belongs to you. It also belongs to this family. It also belongs to this community. Now, plenty of people's lives don't have that extension, don't have that ability to grow beyond themselves like that. to have other people depend upon them. You can understand that training now, you can train to the point that this is not just for me. And again, when I say that that fight scene, horrific as it is, most beautiful scene in all of that quad, not trilogy, that quad story, that four movie story about Ip Man, when I say that it is the most beautiful scene in all of those movies, It is for the qualities of the man. It is for the abilities of the man. It is for that demonstrated selflessness. I hope you understand that word, selflessness. Even to someone that you would love so much as your husband or your wife. In this instance, this man's wife. I would leave myself defenseless for an instant so that I don't hurt her. I'm under on that for just a moment. Now I'll tell you that. To the extent that I've stood and watched some of my friends because of the conditions or the circumstances, I've stood and watched some of my friends fight. Because, well, I've been in that situation myself. I've talked myself into a fight and I kind of deserved a fight in that moment. You know what I mean? It is the nature of the word, isn't it? But I have stood and watched fights have been brought to people unjustly and I have intervened in those. Why would you join a militia? Why would you do that? Well, I want to live through this. Well, when you get there and you've been training with these men and women for a while, if you're truly doing this, if you become dedicated to that team, if you become family, like husband and wife, I'm not talking about in any disrespectful way, I'm not talking about touching, I'm talking about that love and that respect and that dedication. If you become family, all of a sudden you run up into a wall like a paddle flaps you on the head and you realize that you're not the most important person in this team. You realize that I am just as important as everyone else in this team, but I'm not the most important person in this team. When you realize that, that's one of those major steps toward that aforementioned sadness, isn't it? That's one of the major steps toward giving for the team until it hurts. Isn't it? Until it hurts. You don't have that mindset. You're denying the rest of your team. If you don't have that mindset, you're not all that you can be. If you don't have that mindset, you're a liability to your team because they will be covering you instead of working as a team. is what gets through, is what makes men do superhuman things, things that I couldn't believe that happened. He ran through that hail of bullets. I can't believe he didn't even get hit. Just the want to do that. Why? Because I don't want any of my friends, any of my family to be hurt. When you've trained and trained and trained, eventually you come to the point, and this isn't just martial arts. How do you think that groups of people like, well, the 82nd Airborne or whatever, how do you think they gain that dedication to each other? And without it, do you think they can call themselves a team? Do you think that would have survived some of the things that they'd been through? Whether it's this man in it now or the man that was there then? That's selflessness. You'll be so much more valuable to your team than 10 men who just care about themselves but are there because I'm here because I'm going to get myself through this because I want to survive. There's a lot more in the world than that. A lot more in the world than that. And I would say we were sitting here talking earlier today and talking about that. Well, you know, I think we can beat them with paper. This was talking about the jury nullification and Keith Wood. fellow here in La Costa County, we're going to see if we can move and help him in some way, shape or form. Because he's still got some more court dates. You know they dropped the felony charge on him. The $15,000 bail has been, uh... But you know, simply this is an example of that selflessness. I want other people to know about their freedom and how to contain it, how to keep it, how to hold it precious for themselves. That's what he was doing. passing out pamphlets about jury nullification. In charge with the felony and and well eventually like I mentioned they dropped the felony but you still got to go back to court. And we're going to see if we can get some more local people here to be in that courtroom on those days because you know there are people coming to the courtroom here in McOsstah County from Wisconsin, from Ohio, from Illinois because this case they're trying to set a precedent here. can shut up if they can turn off jury nullification or any way to talk about it legally. That's a major battle of one for them, isn't it? And you have to think, did you know that Keith Wood, did he know that by passing these pamphlets out in front of a courthouse that they would arrest him? Charge him with a felony? Let's go way, way back, and I'll just touch on this, but you know, Daniel knew when he prayed. He knew there was a lion's den. He knew the king wasn't going to like it. there would be people that would tell the king's men. He knew that. What he was driven to do. It's just one person, Don, and that's self to the nth degree. Truly it is. In that instance, it wasn't like he was saving the nation by his actions. He was simply defying the king by his actions. You won't tell me how to worship. And sometimes you gotta go forward whether you know what, you like what's around the corner or not. Sometimes you're gonna have to, you know, drive right into it. dive right into it, take that, open the door and walk right in. Well, whatever phrase you want to put there, sometimes you're going to have to take a bigger bite out of it than you can chew. Why? Because if you do that, the rest of the team is going to win. The team is going to be assured of victory, selflessness too, willingness for the greater good. Oh, there's one of them phrases, they work a lot for the greater good. You know, they'll tell you they need to take all of our guns for the greater good. Do we need to address that? We don't really, for the greater good it would be better that most anybody who wanted to have a gun would be able to have one. I am certain that most everyone here would agree. And on to the greater good argument. Let's go back to Keith Wood there. Because, well, we're sitting here talking about this and we're going to make, we'll make some inroads. You know, his lawyers down in Lansing have to come all the way up here to attend the court dates and whatnot. But at least he's got a lawyer that is willing to fight in this instance. I'm not certain how much a lawyer is going to want to fight another lawyer over one of their greatest advantages. Who is not paid by the court system, well maybe, maybe not. It comes to this, but we will make efforts to help to bring relief to this fellow if he is willing to. And we can change the subject ever so slightly and talk on this because you know, we've brought it to the hour before. And you might not be able to relate to it, but you know, when you look at the state of the nation and where we are, and you think about how much help is needed, or that again, you know, a drunk doesn't have a problem in the world until he wants to quit drinking. It's a basic truism, isn't it? A drinker, someone who, you know, likes to be...ebriated doesn't have a problem in the world until they want to quit. because they'll deal with all of their problems turn up the bottle, turn up, sure I'll have another beer, I'll have another shot, whatever, sure you're buying, sure, you know? They don't have a problem in the world until they want to quit. It's basically the same way with most of the, most of the civilians, isn't it? Most of our citizens, they don't have a problem with, with our government until they want our government to stop doing something to them. Then they've got a problem. Only it's not them that wants to quit. They want someone else to quit doing this to me. Or why are you doing this to me? But that drunkard needs to be replaced, doesn't he? The world until he wants to change. And it is as if great portions of the nation is drunk and doesn't have any ability or need or want or see. And we've worked on that. We've talked about the more people you wake up and we can elaborate on that and go out and ask you to talk and ask you to even just put How about that in the morning, microeffect.com? Or how about that Liberty Tree radio? I ask you to do that for years, haven't we? Why? Because, well, some people are going to tune us in and listen for 10 minutes and then they're going to turn the channel because, well, that's all goofy. And some people are going to tune in and listen for 20 minutes and they're going to say, well, that's all goofy and there's nothing we can do about it. And some people are going to listen for a while and say, man, this is crazy. I never heard it put that way before, but it's true, isn't it? And some people are going to listen to Mark and say, man, how long has he been talking like this? And when he mentions prepping for the New World Order, or, you know, those go back to the 90s. It's not like, well, I just discovered this and I'm doing this on the radio today. It's not like that at all. But you have to think that there are plenty of people out there that are waking up today or yesterday or tomorrow. And just because, wow, I got a closed pin in my eye now, I can see a little bit, doesn't mean that that solves all the problems. That means you just opened the door and stepped into a whole other world, didn't you? Look about that, the shock of trying to bring someone in and that denial and whatnot. But you know, once someone has that, man, I know you're right, agreeing with you, thought line, a whole bunch of things that need to be done after that because It's one thing to agree with a person and it's another one completely to work with them, isn't it? I can agree with you, sure Frank, and turn around and walk away. I can agree with you, sure Frank, and what can we do about it? And you know, that's been one of the things that, again, it was brought up today, sitting right here. I used to listen to him, and then I listened to him, and then I found out about you guys and I don't listen to them anymore because you guys don't sit and just talk about the problems, you offer up solutions. You know, I would say that even the difference between Mark and I, you know, there's certain things that are very mechanical and certain things that are almost untouchable. Like that selfless, that ain't a mechanical thing. Something to strive for. We've addressed it many different ways, obliquely and, you know, at 45 degrees and sometimes almost directly. Sometimes we address it when we, I haven't done this in a while, and I'll have to go down to the library and I'm... the Big Green Book, you know, I call it the Big Green Book because it has a kind of a green on it, kind of earthly, but there's a black print on it that talks, it's the record of the congressional of them. And we'll read about General William Dean seen by his command, what to do in helping remove wounded when he was overrun by the Chai Coms in Koe-Ria. Now that's one thing by itself, that Koe-Ria, that's how my father says it. He says it a little bit derogatory, and that's how Don says it too. I know it's Korea. But when you're talking about the war in Korea, that's how Don talks about it. Removing wounded from the battlefield when he was last seen by his command being overrun by the Chinese. Right in the thick, right on the front lines, bullets flying around him, captured and thought dead. He was given the Medal of Honor for those actions. Or, well, kind of ended, you know, that war never really did end. But when they decided not to, you know, do it day to day by day, North Koreans released prisoners. They were amazed when that general was also released. He lived through the capture, lived through the torture, and lived through the captivity, awarded to him directly instead of posturing. They didn't even know if he had survived, that the combat was that thick. They didn't, they weren't certain if he was killed, captured, or just blown to smithereens, was doing his duty to the nth degree. He was being being the leader many many leaders wish they could be. Something more important than just me and it needs to be done right now. That selflessness of that general exhibited, I can't offer a better example right now, plenty of examples in that gritty awards of Congressional of medals of honor. It's not the Congressional Medal of Honor, it's just the Medal of Honor. Plenty of examples of the guy who jumps on the grenade and saves you know his rifle squad. good portion of the seven or twelve men around them, that willing to sacrifice. I'm not telling you that you should plan on this. I'm not telling you that this is the end all and the be all. It's teams. It is what allows the end for a man to look over at that other man with the utmost respect for what we've just done. There are times, you know, I've seen people and I have done this myself. When you get around Easter time, it's easy to get people to be riled up to start to pay more attention to the sacrifice. There are those of witnesses, I've said this myself. For me? Almost with a tear in my eye. For me? I don't deserve it. For me? But at the end of the fight, when you see that guy did this and that guy did that for me, for the team, for him, for me, can you say that I did this and that and the other thing for the team just as well? That's the example of that selflessness I'm trying to bring to you here. I'm trying to offer up. There's that word too, that phrase, offer up. Because we're going to get through this and it's going to cost us a whole lot, but we're going to get through us and it's only going to hurt for a second. But you think and you wonder and some of the accounts out of the book, how could someone do that? How could they stand up and run through that hail of gunfire? Whatever needs to be, how could they jump on that grenade? Oh, and that's the end right there, man. It's over. Roll the plug, stick a fork in it. Whatever phrase you want to use. But again, that goes over to, we're going to get through this even if I don't. selflessness that makes teens most successful. That's that selflessness that gives you the trust in your brother over there and over there and hopefully they have in you. Though I'm not saying just stick your head up and look around. I'm not saying walk into the teeth of the dragon and the grown men make decisions sometimes and they know the cost, the price thereof and they do it willingly. Trust this. and we think, what's this worth? What's my house worth? What's the car worth? Do I want this? Do I want that? What's it worth? We pose that question to all kinds of material things, don't we? But how about that ethereal? Something as priceless as, and literally, as priceless as your life to you or my life to me. And then you say, well, I hope that guy would jump on the grenade for me. closer to it than me and I hope someone would do that for me like I would do it for them if need be but I really don't want to that's why you dig that little pit and that that little that pit in the bottom of your foxhole or in the bottom of your your slit trench that's a good you kick that grenade in there hopefully before it goes off stuff your feet How do you do that? Well, you put your shoulder against one side of the hole and you put a foot against the other side and then you lift that foot that's still on the floor. And hopefully when that explosion goes off, the metals will be driven that way and the only thing that comes up to you will be a lot of dust and dirt. And you might be choking for a minute, but you won't be bleeding. And that beats the hell out of jumping on a grenade, don't it? For planning, a grenade trench, a little grenade pit in the bottom of the trench or in the bottom of the off onto the side. of that foxhole. And that's just one little thing. I'm missing so many different directions, you guys. You know, let's talk about... On occasion we use aircraft, as example, and we've used Tommy Lynch and breaking his own rules. Fight with your wing tanks on, never fight low, never fight at low speed, and he broke all three and it cost him his life. But he expounded, he preached those to those around him, and because of that, they were bad, bad boys in the air. They knocked down many Japanese pilots because they listened to their leader. And for one instant, he forgot when he was trying to help someone else. That selflessness again. For one instant, he gave more than he could give, more than the machine he was riding in could do, trying to save one of his team. I hope that man would do that for you one day. You would hope he never has to for your mistake, the mistake that led to that. And it was a mistake that brought about the death. But let's continue that thought line from the air. You know, one of the things that they would do in the later parts when they still call it the Army Air Force in the war, after they would run protection for the bombers and the Germans weren't coming back up that much anymore, they would run ground interdiction. They would go down in strafe, then aerodomes, you know, airports. and other areas of military value. Now depending on how much time you spend fighting the Jerry up in the air, you know, the Hun from the Sun, you might not have that much ammunition left to go down there and shoot the boiler out of that steam locomotive. Those are some dramatic films. You may remember seeing some of them and, you know, the Mustang or the Thunderbolt or the P-38 flying right through the big steam ball and all the wreckage that's coming up and look, oh there goes that engineer's glove. It's a morbid thought to laugh at and I did laugh didn't I but he gave all didn't he? But you know what? There are plenty of recorded instances of two planes flying in to attack a ground installation and the other guy's flying in and he's out of ammunition. He used it all there upstairs fighting the airplanes upstairs or he ran it out the last of it. beaten up that flak tower or that ground installation or that locomotive that they attacked moments ago. Now he's flying in on the wing of the other guy who's still got ammunition to draw fire away from him so that he might complete his mission. That selflessness again and again and again. We can bring so many examples of it. How do you make this team work? How do you drag it forward? How do you push it forward if need be? brought many many examples over the years, haven't we? Plenty of airmen, plenty of flier, thanks God for that guy flying in next to him. He ain't got nothing left. He doesn't have a single bullet, not a rocket under the wing, but he's flying in next to him to draw fire off of him. Think about it. It's what makes a winner. That's what makes a winning team. That's what makes a winning day. That's what, bottom line, if one plane is flying in, Instead of two men, they've cut their targets in half. There's a lot more concentrated on that one plane. He might not come home that night. But if two planes are flying in and they're moving targets and they're going as fast as they, they've cut that fire, haven't they? They've doubled their odds, haven't they? That's teamwork and that's that selflessness. Again, I'm gonna do this for you because last week you did it for me and I expect to do it for you again next week because we're gonna continue doing this until Well, it's a good day today because we don't have to because it's all over. There are things to look forward to and there are things to try to avoid but sometimes cannot be avoided. And I'm not saying step out in front of the bus. I'm not saying I'm going to be the... You know, there are these little... there are these dinky little fish. And other fish swim up to these stations and these little rafts, they'll swim in and out of the fish's mouth, be it a shark or be it a grouper or whatnot. And they're eating the little things that are caught in the fish's teeth. And they'll swim into the gills and they'll eat the parasites and the fish's gills. And then they'll swim back out and swim away. And all the while, this predator might even be hungry. They don't eat the fish that's helping clean them, that's doing the things that they cannot do. And I'm not exactly certain why I brought that to the hour. There's that teamwork and it's completely disconnected. The only thing they have in common is they're fish. One of them might weigh a ton, the other might weigh an ounce. But that bit of cooperation in there gives one food and helps the other's teeth last longer. And I'm not exactly sure if that's a great example. But I did bring it to the hour, didn't I? You'll find as you train and you train with people and the same people over and over again and for a good long time, you'll find that you come to a point where you're not training for you. It becomes bigger than you. Sometimes you go in and you're training for you and immediately you know that you're training for your family too. And that's why you do that. And that's why you've joined that militia for your family. And that's that spark of selflessness right there. That's that spark of willingness to give. You've trained with this team for a while. They start to become, and they start to feel like family. And you start to know what they will and won't do for you. Or what you can and cannot do for them. Your place in that team. And make it stronger. Why? Because you bring the things that you can do to that team. The armorer, and that's just the other day, over there. When he's not a militia man, he's a doctor to have him on our team. And we're going to do everything we can to keep him alive, just like he's going to do everything he can. Because that armorer over there taught him everything he knows about guns. Took him six months. Still doesn't know everything. He's a doctor. He's smart enough to know that he can still learn something. Things on the hour, we hope you soak him up. And when you come to the hour, we hope you come with an open heart and an open mind so that, well, Some of the things that are talked about, you know, this isn't how to clean your gun day. That right? When you can gain that, that ability to give to the team, you'll be so much more valuable than 10 stumblebumps. 10 or 15 wannabes or 80 people that would... They just shot that guy, I guess we're gonna pack up and go home now. Everybody else disrespects them at leaving. While the game's over, they shot him. I don't want that to happen to me. I guess I'll leave now. That is so selfish. That is beyond Don's understanding. I can relate to it, I can talk about it, but I can't understand it. Much beyond that. I hope you do too. But they shot him, so I'm gonna go home now because I don't want that to happen to me. In reality, we're witnessing right now, isn't it? And let's go get as many of them as we can. You know, you're gonna have to make up your mind about something someday. No question about it. You know it as well as I do. You're gonna have to make up your mind about something someday. You wanna sew up the gas tank? You want chocolate milk or white milk? Are we having pizza tonight or chicken? Are we gonna live free or die? And even that is a question because are we gonna live free or just die? Or are we gonna live free or die trying so that the rest of us can live free? See how that works? You can be sold a small number of words and you can believe them. Or you can add on for yourself and be even stronger. Now that works. That selflessness and you'll have the respect of your team beyond your belief. And straight that selflessness and perhaps you will never be forgotten. Not in my lifetime. Not in theirs. Written down in a green book, I know that. You guys, we're getting to the top here, but I'll tell you again. You're going to have to make a choice about something someday. and it won't be about what's for dinner. Now, them things will come easy, they'll come natural. There won't be no, what if? And maybe I shouldn't. But in the instant, something needs to be done. And you guys, we can ponder all kinds of things. We can wonder where our next meal will come from. But that's not really of value, is it? Think about this. Ponder. Ruminate on this. What value am I to my team? It's the movie tonight. Or, dad, can I borrow the keys? If you're looking for a piece of night vision, go over to the website. That's ydtoe.us. I hate to act like a salesman here. If you're looking for a piece of night vision, I got some good prices. If you're a few, go over to the website. That's ydtoe.us. If you have any questions about anything you see there, like, what's the real price or what will this and won't this do, I'm happy to answer questions. And somebody's going to be happy, a number of people are going to be happy because that, oh, the state police are walking away from a mobile home up someplace north of here, and they've recovered. You know, an outhouse full, there's a different word for that, an outhouse full of stolen guns. And hopefully all those guns will go back to their rightful owners, but if that happens, a whole bunch of people will be happy to get their guns back. I thought I'd mention that because that's happening on the local news right now. Pick up the next hour. Hey, you know, how does that go? When we do it in three sentences, it's old school. It's how it happened for a long time. Maybe some of you have been listening to remember the three sentences, and maybe some of you when I say, bless the Republic, to the New World Order, we shall prevail, and then tell you that's old school. Maybe you don't under-keep training. Keep trying to get better. Keep trying to push yourself and your team. We should music any I'm only a second now and I won't leave till for dead air so two one and one and two and three I thought that was something coming up but that was WB wasn't it? Yes sir that's me. For Eddie I'll just start a statistic. 843. Sure. Under the age of what I'm always saying 2014. Okay and it's probably gotten bigger since then. Yeah I haven't found any further statistics but that's okay. It's one child every ten and a half hours. I wonder how they get away with it.
