Summary
Mark Koernke and his co-host Don discussed themes of comfort, preparedness, and resistance to government overreach. They explored how Americans have become dependent on modern conveniences and how this comfort has made them vulnerable to losing freedoms. The show featured extended commentary on preparedness, self-sufficiency, and the importance of standing up to unjust policies—including anecdotes about refusing to show ID for ammunition purchases and challenging corporate policies at retail stores. Callers shared experiences with government agents and corporate employees overstepping their authority, with Mark emphasizing that ordinary citizens can resist through principled non-compliance.

His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat and, speaking low to me, 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 brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. The 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, 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's 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 in shame. You've taken some trade in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seemingly farm and keep our country deep. 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 leave 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, freedom bright as Iowa keyed vanished in the midst of whence he came. His words were true, not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God given right, we only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep, what would be your answer? He called out from the grave. That's why you need to visit mainmilitary.com. Mainmilitary.com carries everything you need.

He took off his three-cornered hat. We've fought a rebel from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave is the land of the free. The freedoms we secured for you, we'd hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave to the free that permits to travel and permits to own a gun. 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's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. and your Christian values. According to this, 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 comes in control. You pay for crimes that make our nation from god and shame. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seemingly farm our country deep Put men of God in jail, harass your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oath they've sworn. And your daughters, this is so they're children. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores. And send your sons to slaughter, fighting other people's wars. And our pain to 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 what you'll fight to save? Or do you wish to kill those sons of the Republic? Arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and eat God-given right. As I awoke he vanished and missed for once he came. His words were true, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. As he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep. Rancer, he called out from the grave. and FM micro stations, ebay stations, ultra, network hallmarks and golden spike technologies east and west of the Mississippi afternoon to all of our friends out there on the... I don't want to tell you what, Don, it's been a perfect day. We've got some construction done outside as we speak. I once or twice hear during this hour, but I'll let you know if that happens. Otherwise, what's the life in your neck of the woods? What's the day today? We're shutting off the wall, please. Well it is a beautiful day, this is the 18th day of August, the year of our Lord 2016. The breeze is great, the treetops of the trees are wiggling. My little wind indicator down there at ground level says 1 to 3 with a peak of 6. But I think up there in the top of the trees I think it's moving a lot faster than that. Oh it's up to 4 now. But again, hey, it's not a weapons Wednesday so I'm not going to, you know, put one in the magazine and fill it up. up the chamber and all of that, you know, with the magazine well. But we could talk about the wind for a while, or we could talk about politics, which way the wind blows. We might have to play that someday. You know why? Because how does it go? The pump don't work. The bandos. It would be great. Something has been on my mind here for a while, and it's part of that wheel of you move from slathem and then you're back into slavery again. Many of you, if you've been in the picture movement for a while, have seen that. you're most familiar with it. I've seen you pass it out in different ways. You drive that three quarters of the mile to the store and then you come back home and you start watching the football game again. Able to, you know, save that time and not have to watch. It's such a wonderful thing and comfortable and be able to save that time. Getting the car stuck on the gas and man in a moment, you got that pizza and you're right back here, right? Pretty comfortable thing. You know, a beach going out and having to slay the mammoth or the fight the saber tooth. I try to do it at least once a week. I unfortunately run out of mammoths in this area. You know, that's, you know, from to go to unto, what is that phrase? From the sub-line to the ridiculous. Oh, it's a good comparison, it's just that I haven't been able to explain it man-lessly. I know, I got a big, big gun for that mammoth. It's a little half inch hole right between the eyes. It would be painless to the old bull. In that time frame, man, you dropped a mammoth, you know you weren't going to go hungry. My point is here, we could ramble on about this. We could talk about the roof over your head. Which is what's pondering on this has brought me to this bit of little diatribe from Don. Roof over your head. You know slaves had roofs over their heads. A sea of comfort, doesn't it? How, whatever you allow yourself to rise. I put a roof over my head. And then it reminds me of that song, My Roof's Got a Hole in It. It makes you think of all kinds of funny movies. They're putting pots under the drips. And the bigger pots under the bigger drips. And that gets uncomfortable trying to go to sleep, listening to all those pots ringing. Now in the middle of the summer, we've posed that question, I'd say, dang, I never want to do that again. That was the worst experience. And there are people that are living this right now. Could you spend a week in the desert without turning on the air conditioning? Trying to find shade in the shade of, well, the geography, or the few sparse amount of trees, or the geography? Could you do that for a week? That's a blister, ain't it? Talk about each side of that coin. Kill you if you're not ready for it, if you don't have the spirit to get through it. And that ready thing, that's preparation, isn't it? There's a couple of things that jump into my mind. Audio displays in a video fashion. You know, the pull the rug out from under them. And you've seen it in a number of movies, be it Charlie Chaplin or whoever, the Three Stooges or whatever. They grab the end of the rug and they pull the rug off the guy and he does that almost head over heels and he lands on his back or he lands and he's not very comfortable because he has the rug pulled off him under him, literally. It's going to happen to a whole bunch of Americans. No matter how it's targeted, we've talked about this in so many different ways. living by a stream or you're walking through the woods and you hear that running water and you want to sit by it and listen to it for a while. It's human nature to be comforted by that running water because why? I shouldn't have to tell you. When you hear that running water, you know you don't have to go fire to get a drink. That's in your great, great, great, great, great granddaddy's. It was in his, probably, that you're here today. Again, it goes over to comfort. We've gained so much comfort that we've traded other things for it, haven't we, Mark? That's another point to be made here. And there are those that have talked about freedom, and if you're willing to trade freedom for comfort and security, you can deserve neither, and you won't have that freedom to be made here. We've grown so lax at keeping our government under heel. We've grown so lax that even... How many people, I know a number of people who work throughout the summer and into the winter and they don't want to go outside in the winter because they might go outside to throw another log in a fire that they've worked all summer and in the spring and the fall together all that winter would. So they don't have to pay gas. So they don't depend on someone else. It's about the number of ways that's been tried to be made illegal by your federal government as of late. Seeing the rug out from those who... independent, even working hard. You know how hard it is to gather enough wood to keep a big average size house warm through the winter? You're talking about work. If you've ever done it, you know you're not in your head. You're saying, yeah, that's work. You trade your work for something else, don't you? Not having to pay the gas man, the gas bill in this instance, not even for hot water. And there's hot water, you know. I'll tell you this, I haven't bought this for the hour in a long time. But in the middle of the winter you go outside, you're doing this and that, and you come in and man, you're cold, and it's the end of the day and you want to take a shower and knock all the days work off you. Every time I get in the shower, I thank God for that shower, that particular middle of the winter, that hot shower, thank God. I do. It's just a comfort thing. It's a habit. It's a credit where credits do things for those of you that understand it, for those of you that don't enjoy the hot shower anyway. So think of that while you're standing there. How easy that is. You don't have to go stoke the fire, you don't have to go fill up the water tank with the big pump and pump water up into the water tank so it gravity feeds down there into the water heater and then it gravity feeds over there to the shower head and then you have hot water. You don't even have to do that. All you do is walk in there and turn the things, adjust them to your comfort level and stand in the shower or the bath if you want. You take so much for granted. I could go on and on. I could talk about food. Now food you guys, most people, most Americans don't understand because there are three and four generations removed from the farm that well you know filet mignon doesn't come from back behind the counter when the butcher walks through those swinging doors and all the filet mignon is back there and all of the cans or cans of food come from the grocery store because that's their visible source that's what they believe. disconnected from reality but they're comfortable going down there and getting what are we going to have for dinner tonight or tomorrow. Some of them are so comfortable that they got four or five days worth of food at home. Four or five days mind you. They're comfortable with that. They're comfortable with that because they don't know. Many of you listeners have four or five weeks or months or a year or more worth of food don't you? So we'll flip the corner. You're uncomfortable with the situation when you look around. Talk about those that are just la vida and living like you know the bear with his head in the jar. Oh, he's got that honey, he's doing fine. Like the drunk who doesn't want to change. A drunk doesn't have a problem until he wants to change. That's a basic choice. Have you ever thought about that? I haven't brought that to the hour in a real long time. But you know, a drunk doesn't have a problem until he wants to change. Ours and wreck house, burn houses down, cutting women, leave them left and right. Doesn't have a problem until he wants to change. It was comfortable. doing that because how does that go? I'll steal something from somebody else. He was comfortably numb. We trade other things to gain comptowers for a hand. Earlier in the hour, slaves were mentioned and we've talked about what a dollar's worth today versus what it was simply back in 1973. Your hours for a handful of dimes. You get to go home to your house and you don't like slaves but they're just enough food, enough clothes to get you to next week, to next month. to get you, here's another one, a lot of ways people are living, to get you to the next income tax check. When that comes back, man, I'll get my head above water, for sure. How many of us live like that? We could go on and on about this, but what if we traded for being comfortable? And again, plenty of us are living on the edge of that bubble, comfortable and looking at the really shiny blue spot, right before, you know it's gonna burst where the shiny blue spot is. Oh boy. Not to mention the external threat. We can talk about this. I'll talk for another one minute at the most, and then I'll yield to you, Mark. But let's go back to that gas, electricity, and water, and talk about the external threat. It's generated, or just a thing from the get-go, but more and more I have to believe that, you know, the way America's going, people around the world have been kind of Pavlov dogs trained to hate us over the last few generations. Hate America, ring that bell, death to America. You don't even have to ring the bell. We don't have to, we could talk for the next hours and hours about that. And electricity and water, the natural gas or even the propane delivery system. It's not the middle of the winter yet. So on people's minds it's not comfortable all summer because by this winter the federal government might say you can't eat your house that way. And that's the people who don't have any comfort in anything and they're not going to do it because they've already talked themselves out of it because it's going to be a law. How comfortable would you be? And I'll quit with this. But how comfortable would you be turning in your gun if they made it law that all guns are illegal? Hand guns, long guns, you have to turn them in. You have to take them down to your local police officer's office and you just have to throw it in the back of the truck and they'll give you a lollipop or a popsicle, your choice, and you can walk away. How comfortable would you be with that? How comfortable would you be? And if things work right, you stick to your guns. Oh, I used that statement and I used that old phrase. to come and take your guns while they're gone. I feel comfortable saying that. With that in mind, I'll be quiet now. Thank you, Mark, for this. For a problem, as a problem, and the rest of the time you have on this planet will be yours. Which is amazing. And the important thing is that any field that your time is there. So getting rid of them really isn't a bad thing at all. A convenience issue. That is one of the things that people gauge whether or not we're going to go into the stony. They'll be advanced presently in Joes on a daily basis, originally built watch a do-dad whirl with the blanks. You know, what about pornoam before the age of electronics? It's already being brought about, well, you're going down the shopping list trains. Tricky guys. Electricity to run steam. The single electrical component was necessary for the steam age not only to function, but everything that you use in the way of fire repellents were made. Development of the switchover mechanically to and become quite common. It wouldn't be that hard and I would point out people say, well what about cars? I always hear that one. You mean you've never heard of the Stanley Steamer? Not a vacuum cleaner. It's not something that's going to come out and clean the ducts in your house. No, as a matter of fact, viable steam cars had already been developed. They really didn't want them in play. They wanted to sell oil. But they would have been heating steam. Bring your torque. Once the water and the steam is in prop from water to steam, pretty well is self functioning with just assisted calories to temperature. These days you can preheat an electrical thing and as you go out almost like your car today, on another log or the first log into the fire or turn on the propane for the fire and drive away. When they were built, guys. That's amazing. Put more energy than they needed actually with that simple engine that was produced. Again, for most of what's done, diving at 35, sure as hell doesn't put us back in the Stone Age, does it? Actually had to build from the look around you, as I've said before, technology would be lating, you know, just wading in the wings, just Mad Max things. even doesn't make a whole lot of technology, you better start any technology, you better start saving what you got because it's all you got until you can get factories up on production in some way. How long do they last? Like the movie The Road Warrior, did they have some factory back there or something that I missed? So could not afford to let the mechanical object break down to the point of total worthlessness. Let me give you an example. Breakpads. Have you ever seen how breakpads wear down? Is that right, Dom? You couldn't afford to do that in a post, is that? As long as you have the basic components, the to hold the definite pair of the pad to be replaced and there are a number of options there, not the least, which is to go metal on metal. Something we've done before. Think about it when you see that road warrior, especially the newest one. Yeah, nothing would be left as wreckage or debris anywhere. Why? Because everything would be of value. There wouldn't even be the holes of vehicles left behind. Do you see an iron mill anywhere nearby? How do you think about that? And that's why we have to be, again, thinking ahead. Comfort. In fact, this is the selling feature for getting people motivated to work. If you wish to be a tad more comfortable, we need to be a tad more effective at working at what we're doing here, at finishing what we're doing and making it work right. We want to be comfortable. We want to be comfortable, don't we? Hint, hint, hint. It's one of the rewards of freedom, isn't it? It's one of the fruits of freedom. Hey Mark, go ahead color. Yeah, you were just, uh, Don was just talking about the propane tank and I heard it a couple of days ago in a microfiber. Um, I just had the summer fill on my propane tank and the guy literally couldn't figure it out, was coming in glued, was interrogating my wife because we have both propane tanks, but we don't have any lines hooked up to the house. And my wife consistently told him, well he filled his own propane bottles to keep the stock tanks watered out. He goes, yeah, but where are they at? She goes, well we bring them inside for the summer and we leave them out. And even though there was livestock running around the guy, he still couldn't believe it. Like, it's some sort of crime to have propane tanks without them hooked up to the house. I just don't understand what is going on with this. Well, this is a pettiness. Hold on, I'll tell you what's going on. It's the same thing everywhere else. You have people who have a minimal paying job, are all of a sudden being told they're giving classes, and the drivers in this room have a minimal paying job, but this is where everybody gets to be with Homeland Security. And all of the numbskulls, idiots, and small brains out there, they're being told they can have some power. because they can manipulate people. They don't care about terrorists or anything like that. But they play on this. The regime and the system play on this. They know that the small brains will eat up the idea that they can have some power. That's what they did in East Sherman with the Stasi. Okay, all the parts of the rat population that you had to have shot with everybody else and they should have shot when they got back together. All these rats and skunks and the parasites are worthless. I've talked to people who have been over in Germany. These Germans have all been totally kosher-fied, Jew-fied, slash, you know, they're all rodent types. And they're just horrible. They don't work. They don't want to work. All they're doing is getting on the dole. They typically are trying to, you know, in fact it's funny, the police state isn't quite there like it was, though the East and West Germans are trying to catch up now, now that they're all Germans. And so they're all, secret police want to be again. They want to be, well, we can't be able to pay. I can spy, I can spy. They really like that. I mean, people, German people, they don't tell me, yeah, these punks are really, really, really so far gone. They're not savable. And that's the kind of turd you're dealing with there. He said, I gotta find help. They told me I got some power. I'm sick with squal-o now! And that's exactly the kind of P-Brains that you hear. You know, this is, England ran on this with a snitch system in the, in the Star Chamber. Okay? After you get the information, oh, I'm, I'm interrogating you all, but I have a right to because, oh, you're buying stuff from me. It's like, really? Maybe I'll find another supply? Well, you know what? Isn't there somebody else? Is there another propane company here? What? Well, that's all you need to do. It's like, oh, so you don't want to deliver? What? Well, apparently you don't want to deliver. Why are you asking any questions? We just use the stuff when we're done and we use it on a regular basis. What's your point? That's how you settle this real quick. Is there another propane company? You know what their number is? Why from them? I don't care about you. They sent out a... Apparently you do great with whoever you work for and you're apparently that non-employer of yours, Homeland Security or whatever secret police... shop operation you're trying to suck up to? Well, you go suck their crotch, but meanwhile you do it not at my time. In other words, I'm not financing it. So why don't you just leave? Don't you have a card for your company's section? I want to talk to your boss. Yeah, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. Seriously, that's all I treat them. Oh, really? Well, time for you to leave. No conversation. There's nothing you're going to do. No matter what you say, Any brain is either going to make something up or it's what prostitutes and all the rest of these whores do. When they're making garbage up, they do this all the time. So the only thing, your best bet is to cut everything right there. Hey, it was great knowing, I'm sorry I called you out, great seeing you. You have a good time, you take it easy, goodbye. Boy, I thought you wouldn't, no yeah, there's other propane companies out there, aren't there? You got, you be good though, take it easy, love ya, wanted to do business with ya, won't ever again. Now you know, let me give you a- I gotta mention this while I'm at it. Has everybody noticed that Target is trying to do damage control now? They're gonna spend millions of dollars on private bathrooms? It's like, really? Well, I'm not coming back to your store anyway, you rotten pigs. You know, the same scenario. It's like they suck up to these Twilight Zone agendas, and then while they get kicked back and everybody's like, why don't you just shove it up your hind end? All of a sudden, oh look, we've changed! Remember what I told you guys? How they do this? And that's exactly what they're doing. Oh look, we're changing guys. Come back, look, you aren't any different than when you told us you wanted the pedophiles in there. Exactly. You care how they do it in France? Because of what you're doing, I don't want to cross paths. And it's interesting, they thought that they were told that the faggots were going to bolt, were going to prop up their business. That's what they were told. That's what I guarantee. It's like, like I said, it's like a cop shop gun shop. How long they last? Well, at first they're there, it's like a general gun shop and the cops gravitate there. They're bawling customers and they start puffing up whenever anybody's there. And of course, guys say, oh great, the cops love me. And the guy, the income poo, if he's stupid, he's an FFL, what he'll do is he'll start sucking up to the cops and he'll start talking down or looking down on the neck like, I'm one of the boys, I'm one of the buds. And of course, he'll drive away his clientele. And then within about a year to two years, the gun shop will go out of business. Special guys, they, me, they don't love you. And about a year and a half out, you'll see the for sale signs with the, you know, again, special clearance, you know, 10%, you know, off, then 20%, then 50%. Two days before we got out of business, 90% off what's left in the store. And then they close up the doors. But over and over again, every gun shop that has done the special and the cops love me and not you, that we last want them to spend everywhere from Ann Arbor to have salinity is gone. Of gun shops. That is the warning. And again, it's the same as all the shirts and all the same. Really? That's great. Do you think that the handful of people that are showing up are going to pay your rent? All of a sudden any hiccup takes place in business or maybe they decide that there's nothing. They've got a source. So one thing I forget, cops with the department. often that happens is a matter of how the chief or the sheriff feel about that but when they do they can cut them in on the deal to buy some items at some really good prices. Well they don't need to go to a gunshot for that then do they? Just a heads up all of these variations on what we're talking about we've all seen before. I don't see it changing all right now I think it's going to continue to be exactly way we've been experiencing it. But the propane handlers like that, they do this and you know it's funny because you see I've got three places I can buy propane that are really close. Two of them I won't even go to. Why? Because they're just total tin kids. The other one, everybody's cool. I've known everybody at different points over the years. They're all local farmers and such which is really neat. You know, it's an everybody knows everybody situation where, well I'm not going to piss with you because I don't want anybody pissing with me and you're pretty cool. What's interesting is that you'll find it's part of this next wave of the Homeland Security slash the peckerwoods in Washington trying to massive this thing is that's what it's all about. I just haven't given them their shirts yet. I just came out of Mill Street with Mark over at Kato, black box primer, the benchrest primer, all the larget powder and then I walked up and as soon as you get to the register they go I need your ID. I'm like I'm not I'm not showing you ID. Well, this is ammo. Well, there's no law saying I gotta show you an ID for ammo and I'm not showing you my ID. And then you look at the people and go, I'm sorry, but they're gonna detain you while they wanna argue with me, because I'm not showing my driver's license. And I'm not gonna engage in your corporate policies, and as you try to tell me, it's law. And it's like, next thing you know, you're going through the manager and the assistant manager and the general manager, and it's like, I don't care, you can deny me the sale, and I'll call your board members up. Because after all you got the car readers because of me and you want to start that kind of can of worms. Oh by the way, you know, you only got $700 with Mathieu on the counter. You want to tell your board members you walked away for a $700 sale. You know, why do people, and I asked the guy behind the register, second time I've done that in the store. Can I ask the guy, does anybody else do this? He goes, no, you're the only one. So how many so-called patriots, why are you showing them your ID? That's just it. It's not law. This is all garbage that somebody has pulled out of their arse because they're trying to be politically correct. They're making points with either the queer agenda, and even with the ammunition. That's all part of this baguette slash queer slash kosher agenda thing. And if you dig back through it, you'll find that this came from some character that's trying to make a political statement, trying to make brownie points with this little minority click. to where everybody else is like, I have no interest in this. But because nobody stepped up or said anything within the business, then they proceed with it. That's where the problem is. So in the end, did you buy the ammunition and primers or not? Oh yeah, I bought it all because, you know, I told the manager that generally you need to change your policy because I'm not going to play your games. I don't work for your corporation, so I don't need to abide by your policy. Right. It's policy enforcement and I'm not part of your policy because I'm not your employee. And then they commenced to apologize and profusely. All the customers that were chuckling like, ha ha ha, this crazy guy, now they don't know what to say, because I'm walking out of the store with all this primers and powder. And the guy behind the cash register apologized and profusely, because they're all realizing, wait a minute, I'm engaged in something that's complete BS. And it only took one person to expose it, or one man. It's like what we did at the airports when they told everybody to have ID. And it was policy, it was not law. And so we would stand in the line, same thing you did, and everybody would be like, what we did, we actually did this, we were very mean. We would be there half an hour before the plane was, you know, the dock was opening. And we'd wait, we'd be at the back of the line and we'd go, oh wow! Oh, John, I think I forgot my ID. Remember, we can't get on the plane without ID, and you'd watch everybody in front of you, and everybody would go, ahh! And then one woman, she's almost in tears. We left her, my person got all of our ID, and it says our guy! That's over across the expressway from Metro Airport. And we got the whole place upset, and it's like, well, while you're looking for ideas, okay, if we go forward, okay, we go forward. So we got up there, and it's like, hi, how you doing? And they're like, well, we need your ID. And it's like, no. And it was like Star Wars. Remember with Obi-Wan? No, you don't need to see our ID. Well, yes, we do. No, no, you don't. It's policy. This is not law. Everybody who's digging in their wallets and digging in their purse and looking for their ID, all stop. It's an EF Hutton moment. And immediately, the woman who's the supervisor behind the counter brushes the girl aside. She goes, he's right about that. You don't need ID to get on the plane. As soon as we said that, and we and she said what she said, the whole place got dead quiet right there. You ever been in Metro in the old, in the, well no it's the new, now it's the old, but the new, in the new ticket area? Guys, it's like a big cavern. It went through or rippled through the whole place and everybody went stop? And like, what? But then she said, oh but we are gonna have to x-ray your luggage, and the first thing I said was, you're gonna do that anyway because we told you, it wouldn't have made any difference once we made any comment. You were told behind that wall there where I can't do anything about it, you're gonna x-ray our stuff anyway, right? He goes, well, yeah, that's true. I said, you're gonna x-ray everybody's luggage anyway, aren't you? Well, yeah, that's true. It's like, so in other words, you're trying to threaten me with something that's not relevant because you're gonna do it anyway, aren't you, when I can't control it? Oh, oh, oh. Because that was supposed to be the bargaining chip. You know, we can, we're all x-raying, we're gonna go to your luggage. And it's like, uh, okay, you're gonna x-ray all of them, aren't you? And then everybody's like, oh, so there wasn't anything they could do. It's like, everybody else is like, oh, well, it took one quarter of the time for everybody to get on the plane. And everybody did the same thing. Of course, the woman who was in tears because she was like seven, eight people behind, she's virtually crying because she's like, we gotta say, my mother, she's sick. And then as soon as it happened, she shut up. Everybody's quiet. And they're like waiting to see what's going to happen to us because you know, the knuckle dragging secret police are going to come out and drag us away and execute us, right? just a reverse happened. I martyred, the water separated, we went right across the Dead Sea. Like you just did, same thing. Just the thing, all over there it was people were hopeful, they were, it was this pregnant posse, because nobody likes what they're doing at the airports, nobody does. And not now, definite or fool, absolute dupe could say that they like being groped, unless, well, maybe they're not getting enough of anything. They might enjoy being groped in at the airport, I don't know, but it's a guy, you know, groping a guy or by TSA too, chuckling while he's mumbling girls all day. Same thing you did right there with everybody standing there in your case, oh yeah, they're gonna get him. Yeah, they're gonna get, and then they're all standing there like, huh? You probably had people who stayed there just so they could try to, you know, they could do the ridicule thing, right? Yup. Oh, yeah, the first time I had a cop. He was gone. I don't understand why you're doing it, they got you on video camera. I said it's not a matter of them getting me on video camera, it's a matter of principle. Oh, he shut the hell up on that one. Yeah, you know, if everybody stood on that, then we'd be in pretty good shape right now, we wouldn't have the problems we've got, but oh, wait a minute, you guys don't do that, he's in those black uniforms, do you? I tell you the more I see, you know, what gets me about this is that again it's so easy to do, but what it is is they seem to think that if they parade a committee of monkeys in front of you or another chair of something, you're supposed to be impressed. And it's like how much do you make a day? What? What's your hourly wage? That's the person you can ask if you want to be mean. It's like, okay, you're behind the counter, you're the ticket girl. Yeah? How much do you make? Blah blah blah. Well, I make more than you by about twice. And the next person steps forward, hi, you're her manager? How much do you make a year? Oh, I make twice what you do. What do you mean? Well, I can find another supervisor. Yeah, well, he might almost make what I make a year. What grandiose title do you have? I'm the checker in charge of the ticket girls. Oh, wow. Are you getting a new black uniform? Are you wearing a Darth Vader helmet or something? Your point? And it's the same with the cashiers there. All this is this monkey screw like, you know, we're gonna give him some power. We're gonna be able to mess with people, man. We'll be able to mess with people. That's really what's going on in all of their little pee brains. And that's what's really sick about it. This is the kind of stuff we shot out of this country. We did. It's these varying levels of flunky, lackey, and British royalty. Or again, international monarchy. Or, oh, I have a title you don't. Well when I'm here, we have special policies! Special? Ah yeah, well the speciality. In fact, you don't look like anybody I'm really going to be subject to, so watch your point. But, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, So then how do the turds go along with that? I'm sorry, jump in there please. That same, the chain store two years ago, I had a $9,000 purchase and I went to use my debit card because I didn't have a card reader. Cashier, a young girl said I need to see your ID. And I'm like, I'm just talking about ID. He goes, well I have to protect you. I'm like, I don't need you to protect me. I'm pretty good at protecting me. I probably need to protect you. I'm probably better arm than your across the board and more confident with any weapon I might choose. Including the pencil in your pocket there. So they got the assistant manager, the general manager, and they told me, unless you show an ID, you're not buying anything. And I said, oh, okay. And I walked out of the store, and I just left it all sitting there. And I called the board members, and the corporate headquarters, and I got to hold the president, vice president, board members, and I told them what had happened in the conference call. And all I kept hearing was, oh my God, they did. And I'm like, yep. I said I got the biggest truck in the park, a lot of them, 50,000 security cameras, more security cameras than I'm actually in prison. And you want me to show you an ID, but I don't need to show you an ID. This is not East Berlin. I'm not gonna play your game. So either you're gonna take what I offer you, or I'm just gonna rack up a bunch of stuff, go to your cashiers, and walk out of the store, and I'll go buy it somewhere else. And within two weeks they had card readers to accommodate, facilitate my desires. So, it doesn't take an army. One man is just not gonna put up with the garbage. It ends very quickly. You know, it's just like these child protective services people. When they realize you'll just hunt them down and kill them with a dog, well, their garbage stops instantly. They'll make statements like, oh, we'd never do that to you. Oh, what the hell, maybe a whole lot different than everybody else. In fact, you can all do it.

The other night, a figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat and speaking low to me, he said, we 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 lengthy 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 the free, you buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one.
