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've fought a revolution, dear our liberty. We wrote the Constitution shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, 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, 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, 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 the read about their current news in a regulated press, And you pay attacks 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 Satan's number and you've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seasonally farm and keep our country Put men of God in jail, harass 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 can 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 will fight to save? Or do you wish your children live in fear? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic in each God-given right, and pray to God to torture freedom, burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist for 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 him 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 if he called out from the grave? Build a land of the foot. Afternoon intelligence report. I'm R. Krunky. And I'm Don Bechter. Closer to victory for all of- the lines in occupied territories, listening to us on, and we're on AM and FM microstations, CB base stations, Walmart and Golden Spike Technologies, east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. Very straight, numerous dimensions just to the south. Eh, the Chinese are kind of there. You know, there's Mongolia further. And then the peninsula, I always love you gotta have it, that's on risk. It's in a risk game, remember? But it's real. Peninsula. It's that other place they could have turned into kind of like a Korea and you know then we had a forever war there too but they didn't do it. They kept it in Russia. It's been rainy on and off a little bit not real bad but enough to keep the plants happy and thank goodness because I got some great vines I'm working on right now. That's still a side project. We didn't get done today. Probably because, well, the rain was there. But I really could have used that with the plants on the ground. So hopefully it'll be doing a little bit of that tomorrow once we're done. We're doing nipping and tucking right now, guys. Cement is flying even as we speak. The rock is being sealed. The liquid rock. Yeah. So we got a whole bunch of work going on there right now and looking good. Excuse me. Oh my goodness. Out of the blue there. As a matter of fact, everything looking pretty good in general guys. So, yeah, a little bit was an all night thing. We had a bunch of the stuff going on up north and out west. A lot of questions being asked, routed some more material support and committed a pod of equipment I've had on standby for about 20 years. So, for everybody, again, appreciate the help and the pitching that took place there too. Don, real quick here, what's the day today? What does it look like up there in your neck of the woods? Well, it's jumping off the wall, please. Hey, it's a great day if you like clouds and less sun than I talked about this morning when it was, you know, a bit of sun over there and mostly clouds and now the clouds have moved in and the wind hasn't slowed down. Well, it's a chilly wind, but hey, it's the 28th day of Year of Our Lord 2016. I have to say, God bless John Moses Browning. When you pick up a 1911, it's one of those guns, if it's sitting on the table, it just has that look and it reinforces it when you pick it up. You better leave that alone, boy. Don't pick that up, boy. You know what I mean? If you do, you gotta be serious with it. Exactly. for doing man's work. But again, hey, 1911 in one hand with an empty magazine well and a full magazine in the other hand, we're going to solve that problem and that problem too and we can tell you there's one in the chamber and that's a hot gun and oh it's my gun and I'm not going to bother to try to prove it to you but it is a Weapons Wednesday and hey, you know, let's run this one. Hey, it's a Weapons Wednesday. How secure is your perimeter? And if you keep pulling the lever on that reloader, you can tell yourself, well, As you tap off this magazine here, there's plenty more where that came from to help protect. We are now secure. We can offer equal opportunity, coercive force, weapons Wednesday. 1911 mags have been on the creep up for whatever reason. So is everything else, by the way. So it's obviously a devaluation of the currency thing that's not being talked about. But interestingly enough, there are some new company names out there. It came out of the SHOT Show earlier this year. that are producing some larger capacity by one or two rounds. Eight or eight routers seem to be the big push again. That was true every decade this happens. And some larger 10s and 11s which are all cool. I don't care what you commit to and more is better and by the way I'll buy some too. so when the time comes, I'm not getting rid of my other mags. Guns are for buying, not for selling. If you've got, if you had, and this is one of the things I had a little debate with, When Patriots arriving the coming collapse James Wesley rolls we were talking back and forth on this and there was a point about the Preparation of the group when they were talking about well they all had seven around 1911 mags and they decided to you know buy eights and so they committed to everybody buying eights and they sold the sevens and it's like I had to point out like well No, because you see remember all those cash a you were talking about you know you're gonna put a cash together and you're gonna bury things and Well, why not put the seven rounders there? They are paid for! Yeah, unless you really, really needed the money just to get the eight round magazines. But it's a good point. You're right. Your door is better. Your magazine capacity, more is gooder. Yeah, and again, the idea is that if you're changing out, it's the same with anything if you have an older weapons system, and maybe it was your starter kit. Now you might just want to say I'm going to give that to one of the kids. They've got a nice little simple AR-15, got some basic gear, a handful of magazines, let them tell them hey, invest more, this is what you do and now I'm going to tell you what to do and when to do it and we all do it together. But the basic rule is more mags and more mags. Chances are by the time you get to your cash, if you had to go to any one of them, I'll bet you there's some empty magazine pouches on your combat rig. Probably. I'll bet you. That's a winning bet. No question about it. So because of that, you're going to drop stuff, guys. It's just that simple, and more is better. The seven rounders still work in your guns just like they always have. Now, there is an interesting thing happening. There are a series of guns out now that have an eight round mag capacity, and they've set the gun up basically because of the way the front step is until you take a little bit of the chin of the base of the front of the grip out, you're not going to drop a seven rounder in there because of the standard magazine steps that's at the front of the magazine. So that's not a positive thing. As far as I'm concerned for the cost in machining, uh... knock it out that much farther and that's a standard policy because the big selling feature of the nineteen eleven is a hundred years worth of parts guys all-year you run into world war one makes you can drop in a little standard nineteen elevens and guess what pop pop pop pop pop they'll work just like the one you bought yesterday could stand on the corner reading a newspaper and somebody walked by and you go anybody you got any make you eleven mags you could yeah yeah i'll be right back yeah they're my grandpa I was wondering if somebody would want to buy them. Ah, we'll do that in a heartbeat. Always ask at yard sales for the same reason, guys. Hey, any gun stuff? Magazines? Parts? You know, anything? Guns? Ammo? Etc. Etc. And when you find out it's a yes, hmm. Well, maybe it's not something you use, but maybe it's something like Don just said. You can trade that or sell that. If it's something you've got, then your weapon will take it. It's better that you have a lot than little, okay? Of everything. Ammunition, clean solvents, brushes, I don't care what it is. Those are all the consumable perishables. Before we go any farther, I'm gonna throw some ear candy in here. I played it this morning. You weren't with us quite yet, Don, but for everybody out there, uh, little Merle Haggart! guarantee they don't really want to play this in the control country stations or anywhere else. Again, a little ear candy for our friends and a little later Merle Hager with a little bit of attitude and you might figure out the name of the song if you've heard it before but you haven't heard it for a while and any of the new radio stations here we go or the control ones for that matter. I'm sure it's on the no playlist. Here we go. We hear that on your local radio stations. A couple of that's from, well let's just make sure I get the cover here right, yeah there we go. Willie Nelson, Merle Haggart, Ray Price, Last of the Breed is the album and I'm a white boy. I hope that's not a fortune telling thing. This thing Ray Price, I don't know if Ray Price is still with us. Willie Nelson is. Did he pass away in the last few days? Not that I know of. I don't think so either. So we're pretty good there. Now Merle Haggart, I didn't even have to check on that here most recently. I'm pretty sure Merle's gone now. Hey guys? Yeah. Yeah, Willie just released a brand new album and it's dedicated to Ray Price. I think Willie Nelson is well pickle-fied with the use of certain natural grain weeds that is keeping him on the mark. Of course, I think Merle was doing that too. Well, hey, time catches up with us all. I've also come to find out that when Willie was just first starting out, he was a for Ray Price's band before he broke out on his ass. Oh you mean before he messed cut his hair? I don't know. You might remember like Willie when he was an angel flying too close to the ground. He looked like somebody out of Sunday school. Oh yeah, his early career back in the 50's and 60's, yeah he was a high and tight kind of haircut guy. Yeah. Okay guys, I'll get out of your way. I just thought you'd be interested to hear that. Very good. Thanks. And Willie Nelson at it again, so we'll have to dig a few of the songs off that particular album too. Oh, and I'd like to run some day as the High Women. That's a good song. I like that. It's a... that now future kind of thought. Well I'm working on another one right now that we're definitely going to do a video of this one because we've actually been putting some footage in the can for this. We're going to move the wreckage in fact tonight a little bit for some of the other close ups and stuff. Interestingly enough again guys, music is a weapon. The bad guys use it. In fact there's a whole cycle to the music process in the controlled media. And there are points for you just like, man, they're just producing absolute garbage. That is not an accident, by the way. That is part of the larger sine wave of music production and how it works. And I would point out that this has been a consistent issue for a long time. I've been watching this long enough and I used to do a lot of different research, or again, like all of us, different points in your background, interesting things you've done. And right now we're in a muddy period for music, but that's not an accident. The idea behind it is... you create junk so that you can then go, wow, look, we'll put some mediocre up there and anything that sounds better than some of the stuff you've been producing. Now, there are some unique bands that have done some really good stuff. I've been playing some of it here recently again. As far as dynamic stuff, there's ProPatriot too, especially with the Ron Paul window of activity in 2008 and 2012. There were a lot of people that stepped forward that were musicians or are musicians and did some very, very focus music that was pro-patriot and addressing the issues of the problems behind the screen. It's really kind of cool. There's a lot of good stuff out there. Take the time, round it up, and make your own collection. I'm serious, I mean a physical collection. If you got it on digital, it can be lost so easy it's ridiculous. It doesn't mean someone can't burn your books and destroy your records and frag your tapes and do whatever. But the more copies, especially physical copies we have that can be transferred back over to whatever medium, or, you know, exit stage left or right, depending on what you have in the way of technology, it's more likely the musical survivor be there when we need it. And that's why, again, I highly recommend getting stuff over on the disc. CD or DVD, whatever you want to do. Hell, even VHS. VHS audio quality. Guys, remember why magnetic tape was built? It was built for the computer age so that... Yeah, and it was clarity. The idea is they needed clarity. So the one thing about magnetic tape, yeah, eventually they got video on there. But more important was the audio potential. Clarity, the overwhelming clarity of it. uh... that's why uh... the uh... sound systems were so phenomenal it's why for radio guys we used VHS to record uh... Republic Radio International's rebroad, you know, rebroadcasting or you know any broadcasting we're going to do with it after the live uh... we used VHS and there right now I've been running into uh... boxes of or batches of here and there of uh... what are red case, red trim it's commercial these are the industrial tapes that ran you know TV stations uh... they were available a lot of people bottom and put them off to the side or a certain people are in the industry collected and were using them for their own purposes to make masters or whatever they were doing and the quality is is exceptional in fact yet to put your passive digital in several ways because it is analog of course anyway Pretty cool technology, simple and straightforward. Whatever you're gonna do, save it on something and back it up and get it away from wherever your primary collection is. Separate your collections. I recommend that also. They copy through the stuff, so you've got stuff to play and keep one set as a master somewhere else. We had a caller, who do we have? Yeah Mark, how much, you know, give me your arms that when Will is riding around in this bus, he's tuned into Mark Karky and And from the Trenches Reel Report and the Bible Hour, I guarantee ya, he listens to your show. Interestingly enough, he was in contact with us in the 90s. And I think one of the reasons is because, again, we supported the farm aid. We kind of kept that history alive, too. But there's a lot of artists behind the scenes or quietly were able to give us a wink and a nod and give us some pretty good ideas of what was going on in Hollywood or in Nashville. That is true. That sounds weird, but it's not. A lot of these guys actually do a pretty good idea of what's going on in or paying attention to the environment because it affects them the same way. A lot of them are very, very serious about the fight they're in. Willie Nelson was viciously attacked, remember, by the government because of the first farm aid project. They did everything they could they tried to take everything he owned and you know the whole nine yards And meanwhile you've got goofs and pieces of trash right now that this this regime Doesn't even go near a touch that have done far far far worse Well the reason because there was a plan to attack and destroy the American farmer That's what Willie Nelson was talking about a lot of other people that were standing there with him and a lot of the farmers that were stepping forward and they were right Absolutely, right So just keep that in mind. Again, there was Fire Maid 1, Fire Maid 2, and Fire Maid 3. In each case, they kept going back and kicking them back in the other direction. They didn't like that because, well, he should have just rolled over and fallen on his back, and he didn't. You know, there's a real old and somewhat humorous story it's told about Willie. Years and years ago, one of his houses, one of his nicer homes, was cut on fire. When the fire department and it showed up, all of a sudden Willie was standing there and he started thinking, oh my gosh, and he started to run back into the house. And they said, hey, whoa, whoa, wait a minute, you can't do that. I mean, you'll burn up. He goes, look here, dude. My house is insured. I want to cure my possessions, my guns. They're all insured, but my weed isn't insured and I'm not going to lose it. I'm worth going back for that. That's Willie. the special wine. Remember the case of special wine sir? Remember that's how it is. Yeah most all I can replace but there's those two cases over in the corner. We ain't never gonna get any more of those. Only this case wasn't wine but that's the best thing for some people so what can I say. I think the story also goes that his guitar trigger was also in the house. He had just just purchased a Martin Cadgette That's the way he also went in there for me. He hid the weed behind the tree. Well, the guitar is my dad years ago when he was playing. He went down to Nashville because we had a lot of connections. That's the old days, guys. Everybody was a lot smaller. They weren't as big and... It was interesting. He went down and wanted a good guitar. He went down to Nashville and tracked down one of the top custom builders. The guitar that he had, he played, I knew it was a good guitar. But he took it back down there to the back down in Nashville a couple years ago. In fact, a year and a half, two years ago almost. And a little longer than that, two and a half years. Anyway, let's just say that that guitar, the only thing that would have, the only model of that guitar that he bought that would have been more valuable, the guy said, if you had just waited one more year, it'd be worth another $40,000. Now, when he bought that guitar, it wasn't that expensive. But let's just say who the guy who built it, he doesn't make any more. And whatever's on the planet, all there is and in fact when he brought the guitar in there were people that started when virtually came from across the street one person came in from across the street another guy was on the sidewalk and as soon as he pulled the case of the gun the guitar out of the case is just like it was there was just everybody there And he's happy. Well, he was happy with what he got. He'll take care of mom and he'll take care of other things. Not that he's bad, it wasn't bad off or anything, but it is nice to be comfortable and be able to take care of problems. That's 45 things and put things away. And again, in the process, enjoy it. I'll tell you what, guys, it's been a long time. We used to have everybody in the family play the instrument and or sing and usually do both. And it's been a long time. Of course, most of them are gone now. But we'd have up to 50, 60 people. Everything from steel guitar to a organ, a piano, every kind of instrument you can imagine. Violin, viola, saxophone, flutes, every kind of country instrument you can imagine. I mean, it would just, everybody get together. In fact, two of my aunts actually cut quite a few records in Nashville. And we're in the middle ratings for the longest time. And both are still alive, although they're not down in Nashville no more. Of course, they wrote actually from up here, and they never did have no accent like this. But they were, they had beautiful voices, and they were in the country. And New Patsy Kline, all the girls, you'd recognize all the names. I mean, everybody that they ran with, it'd just be in the right place at the right time. A lot of fun. You have a lot of fun if you just focus on it. Meanwhile, still keep up the fight too. We've had a great time with all the people we've known. I will not trade anything that's happened. They can't do it anyway. I always remember that. Well, don't you regret saying no? How can ya? Wow, what hell of a life we've had. Think about it, guys. Think about what's coming. We're going to have a hell of an exciting time. We're going to fight our way all the way to Liberty. Isn't that exciting? I think that's a lot of fun. I'm going to look forward to it. Yeah, packing and chopping our way and kicking teeth all the way. Butt stroke and bayonet. Oops! Remember, you might have to get a little lighter rifle, but I still like walnut. And again, there's some beautiful ash stalks out there for that purpose if you don't want to mess up the collector stuff. You know what I mean? Put that ash stock back on that rifle son. You're going to be using that for real this week. Oh, okay. Remember, ash grade 2 on all the military rifles is considered acceptable since 19, what was it, 52 but 55 officially. So you're okay. It'll work just fine. That's a good tooth buster. That's right. I'm the bayonet. Anyway, I'm going to play another piece of your candy here where we got down with us and for everybody out there. Johnny Cash, I had two more requests for this song. this afternoon, so guys and gals for everybody. If you want to make a request, liberty at provide.net. Liberty at provide.net. Take the time, plug in, and you can send us a request. Some of the stuff is quite unique. Most of everybody has been pretty cool. They've actually been sending a link to wherever it is. We can find the music. And in this case, this is off Johnny Cash's last album, and I'll be quite honest. Bruce Springsteen did this song. I just can't even listen to it. Bruce Springsteen, it's garble. Johnny Cash did this song. He pulled this music together. He pulled the meaning, the value of this song together. I'm glad you hear this one. Yeah, if you listen to what you've heard before, but it's interesting. See, go find the Bruce Springsteen version and go, oh wow, let's jump. And then you listen to Johnny Cash and go, whoa, dude, find wine. Anyway. Guys, you know how to think, you know? Anyway, here we go. Also, how to put some meaning or expression into it. It's all a matter of meter as much as anything else, guys. Here we go. Johnny Cash, further on up the road. For all you infantry? Further on up the road, boys. It's on the grave. That's what I... It's gonna be fun. Funny feeling, ain't it? Every morning and every night. I don't think anything's gonna grow over there. He probably... He was... It was one of the generals that was fired by Bummer. And he... What was the comedy made? He goes... A bummer said, you probably want to piss on my grave. And he said, Mr. President, I promise that if I ever left the military, I'd never stand in line again. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha On that note, Shamoon Parade has to wait. Yeah, thank goodness. Another one of those turds need to be gone. Yeah. You know, and again... They'll probably shoot you if you were standing and lying there though. Yeah, well, you know how that... Yeah, in general, but don't worry. It's like they'd like to do it to us too. They just want to... They want a bigger central location so they can go piss on the rest of the planet. They've been doing everybody for a long time anyway. Yeah, it's all those pieces of trash you're good for over there piled up in one place. As it is, again, here we are. It is so many days away. Well, actually, we've got to get through October, but that ain't that far. We're looking at one month and several days to the mock or fake election. That's a farce. It doesn't mean anything other than whatever they're going to throw at us or how they're going to piss at us. And with regard to the regime and the fabrications or the next wave, Hillary the Hutt, the Trump Act, but either one. The real, the overlords, one of the several from behind the scenes, came across and told them both what to do last Sunday. So that tells you jigs up as far as that goes. Just be ready for whatever's gonna happen. It's Weapons Wednesday. Organize, arm, equipment, train as militia. Square your technology away. Be ready to fight. And be ready to fight well. That means you need to train. Mark? Go ahead, caller. Why did they get rid of the military, get rid of Smith and Wesson 45? No more. You mean the S&W 45? Yeah, just right at the other day, they don't need it no more. Well, yes, as far as the Smith and Wesson, 45, their version of it, they do different contract runs like that. Ruger, you know, it's Weapons Wednesday. Ruger had a number of, I won't say micro, but smaller contracts. That has happened over the years with special warfare units or special technology units. Ruger used to have a bunch of security, like the Speed 6 and Security 6 were issued. I don't know if they're still in the system. Usually they don't get rid of them that fast and the Rugers don't wear out. Those old beastie, they were brand new back in the day. But the Ruger revolvers made during the 70s and 80s were built like a brick doghouse. You could beat somebody to death with that gun and they have no effect on it. I mean, no effect. They're a log of metal is what they were and it was a good idea. I liked that aspect of the Rugers. Price was not bad. They're K frames and they're equivalent to a little under an end frame. Both those guns were decent. They're big end frame Red Hawk. There's a beastie 44 and still is out there and everybody likes him. But the Speed 6 and Security 6 were a micro contract. They got a lot of money out of that to kind of keep them going. Savage got a few contracts like this that came and went. The Savage over under survival gun. Originally it was, you know, they call it a game getter, but it was a .22410. Well, remember they put those on bombers for part of the survival kit. There's a myriad of small guns like that. There were special contract guns, typically over-under guns, uh, skeletonized frames. Uh, there's the M5, the M6. Remember the AR-7 made by Armalite. And the little .22 semi-auto all goes into the bus dock. That was a micro- Yeah, and it floats. That was a micro-contract. Same with the Smith, I believe what they were doing with those, either military and police got some, but I know that they went to the special warfare units. And that was their way of resurrecting the .45. Now they're still bringing the .45 back. They aren't going to get rid of it. They aren't going to get an option on that one because the only thing they might do is push the 10mm, which is another, again, it's an odd man out cartridge. Back in the 80s when they were fighting over whether it was going to be 40 Smith and Wesson or 10mm, Well, 40 Smith and Wesson went out in the cop shops. There's still some departments out there that buy it because they already were committed to it. And the Fed has 10 millimeter, but as far as what they're carrying, it's arbitrary. I mean, it varies. The contract and bid system is pretty inane. You know, it's a matter of do you really want a government contract and all the BS that goes along with it? Well, if your company needs a little extra production, it's a good thing because it keeps your tool and die people, keeps all your machine people running. Which is the only reason you want a government contract. When I used to talk to all the magazine producers, they told me that was the only good thing that gave them the opportunity by having the government contract for magazines. They made no money. Where they made their money was on the excess guns they could sell, or in this case, magazines they could sell. I'm sure that Smith, the reason Smith got the contract initially, you know why they canceled it now? This is a politically correct bunch of bastards. Remember, Smith originally was a total whore to the Clintons and was talking about doing the robot gun, the electronic gun, you wouldn't be able to use it, you had to have it and they were going to make it mandatory. Remember, Smith prostituted out and went along with that and nobody else in the industry would do it. Well, everybody said the same thing, well piss on it, I don't need a Smith & Wesson then. And it's like I've said, what happened is Smith & Wesson changed hands and the new guys were like, well we didn't sign that contract, that BS with the government, we aren't part of that. And so they've been, what it is, is the government's pissed because the anti-gunners, which are in power right now, which would include Bush, didn't get what they wanted from Smith and Wesson. So Smith's contract was canceled for that reason. It has nothing to do with performance of the gun or anything like that. It has to do with the fact that they probably, the original contract rolled in with the OY boys and the whores that were trying to grab the gun. So they were going to give them a doggy treat. and the characters that were in charge of Smith at that time were absolute prostitutes and give a squat less than about any of America. What happened is then everybody said, well I'm not going to buy a Smith. And let me jog everybody's memory. They were telling people, well if you're a Smith distributor, you've got to buy a Smith. You've got to buy our guns. You've got to buy their guns. The government was telling everybody this and it's like, well no we don't. When you're a Smith & Wesson distributor, here's what they do. They have a portfolio every day or every week where the guy either calls you and says, hey, I got so many of the K frames, I got so many of this, I got so much of that. I got one of these two of these five of those. Do you want it or not? If you don't want it, somebody else does. And every week, I'd have to select how many Smiths I wanted to buy because we were a Smith & Wesson, a Colt, and a Browning distributor plus, oh well, two or three other companies. Come on. Weatherby, we're a Weatherby distributor, and they all do the same thing. They ask you what you want. Oh, Smith was a bugger. I mean, and they were just absolutely arrogant and always were under the old, under the, not the original regime, but under the European regime. And that's the group that betrayed us all in the 90s. And when that happened, everybody's like, well piss on you, I don't need a Smith. And so they were trying to tell you that if you were a distributor, you've got to buy their guns. No, I just have the option to buy your guns. And you know what? I get to spend my money where I want. And since you've decided you're going to screw America, I'm not buying it from you. Now, I've mentioned that over the last couple of years that uphill battle for the Smith and Wesson owners because, you know, things change hands. But people in the gun industry are like myself. I do the same thing. Once Kmart became anti-gun, I just didn't go to Kmart anymore. I put Kmart out of my mind. It's like, what's the other company? In fact, it's out of my mind. Target, okay? Piss on Target. There ain't nothing I'll ever buy from Target again. There's Target stores and they're like, they might as well not exist. They're like, out of my brain. I do that. I will discipline myself to do that. And Smith had the same thing happen to him because gun owners, gun people especially have a long memory. They've got an elephant memory. But the problem is whether or not the information gets out. This is where they really have to work the shows, like the trade shows, like the shot show. It's like, hey guys, new management, different group of people. No, we're not going to go along with the, you know, the get the gun scam or the electronic gun scam thing. We're not doing that. And so what it is, is in the long run, they'll be punished. And that's probably what's going on right now. They're being punished. We aren't going to do any of that, no. Well no, because these new guys won't go along with the contract the old guys signed. But it was a private regime thing, guys. It was not a binding agreement for the company. It was where the peckerwoods that were betraying us got into a private agreement on their own. That they were going to help to screw America and they were going to... We can come up with a smart gun. Now it wouldn't be reliable. It wouldn't work well, but that was the agenda. That just was announced two days ago. Yeah, it doesn't surprise me. But again, it's also somebody else got some government money is what happened. Either somebody is a quadriplegic homosexual, Eskimo preferred, so we're going to get a gun, probably like an Israeli weapon. We don't need some pistol that really wasn't necessary and not essential, but we've got to have that because the OY boys are telling us what to do. It's happened more than a few times. Or again, at least help the American industry out, or because its standards change, then that's like it used to be. Well, we need a different weapon for a different package. We decided the performance of this particular gun isn't what we wanted. Here's what we want from the new weapon. Here's the weight restrictions. Because if it's an aviation gun, weight restrictions are always the issue. Gotta meet weight restrictions while still having certain features like double action, single action, staggered magazine. They even spec the size for the gun in general because it's gotta fit into a space where they want it for, you know, again, and they, you know, pilot use, that kind of thing. If it's special warfare, obviously combat sites, perhaps trigicated, perhaps not. Staggered magazine, not staggered magazine, alloy frame, lighting it up, you know, all the other specs are there. and the Smith 45s, as far as I know, basically there's two models. One is more of a 1911 than anything anyway. So whether or not they decided that there's enough contract 1911 goes, because that was what they were announcing a few years ago also, that they were really going to be pushing back towards the 1911 frame. And since you've got double action variants now, they can move in that direction. On the other hand, maybe Sig's, you know, stuffed some money in somebody's back pocket, the Pentagon, so maybe we're going with Sig, who knows? It's a matter of who got bribed with what, you know, nowadays. I just hope that when an infantry man goes into the military and he gets, you know, he's given all of his equipment, I just hope all of this stuff is American made. I hope... Oh, most of it isn't now. Japan isn't now. Yeah, but most of it isn't now. That's right, most of it isn't now. His boots are Chinese made probably his uniform is Chinese made probably all the mama ray is probably Yeah, all of that dress uniform stuff. That's what like I said, I'll tell you what you want to know who's making it go over to the Chinese May Day Parade. Remember I mentioned this many times. The Chinese girls that march in some kind of goofy looking uniform. They got a real great mini skirt going. Yeah. Yeah. And of course that's when you notice the ratio was about 100 to 1. There's like, there's a battalion of girls go by and they're in the pink outfit. I'm joking, I'm not joking. They just kept playing that same thing, you know, for the whole thing just about. They had one or two other pieces, but. But understand this parade went on for what, six, eight hours? So you're hearing this. rest, you could march them into the sea forever. Not just the troops in front of them with the PASGAT helmets and the digital uniforms. Look at the Class A uniforms that they're wearing. Why? Because they make ours. This is another reason why we ask you and urge you to study and lay out ranges and places that you're going to be familiar with. Because you might be looking one day at a uniform that looks real familiar and you're trying to range on it and you're ranging on a six-foot van but... That guy isn't 6 foot 4. He's 5 foot 2 to 5 foot 4 on an average. Yeah. And the thing is that from a distance all those officers in the grandstands have got the same saucer hat and the same in that same sage green that is standard for our class A's. All their class A's are the same. They've got class A uniforms just like ours. Same cut, same button, but you get close. Obviously it's going to be communist Chinese regalia instead of the American eagle. But, from anything up to point blank range, the average person could not tell the difference. That's my point. Is that why? Well, because they're already cranking the snot out of it and they've got a contract with us and they're doing ours. That's why our Class A uniforms, even the Marine Corps uniform, looks chintzy. You know, that's the new, the new, it's not a new cut. It's the material and the quality of the material. I've got an eye for that because if you've done enough clothing, first all of our buttons used to be gold, then they went to rhodium, and then from there they've got to whatever pot metal it is now, which is still probably rhodium, but it's stamped. Used to be two-tiered buttons that were actually quite precise and very detailed. There's a whole history to this, guys. But it's now punk junk stuff. And you can see it. If you really know what you're looking at, the uniform doesn't lay right. Why? Well, it's being generally cut by a whole bunch of slaves that, you know, two bowls of rice, you know, and some fish heads every day. And congratulations, maybe, you know, a $10 bill at best. And that's the kind of, you know, environment they're in. Well, the quality of stuff, they're also chancing out and the government's letting it happen. The Marine Corps uniform is one that really jumps out at me and the Class A's especially. Because you can pay better, you go up and buy your own uniform, you need a darn nice uniform. But for the average Joe or G.I. Jane take a pick of service, the quality of the stuff has gone in the basement. In fact, what really jumps out, and I've had this happen, in fact even when I was in service, see I had all the Vietnam era issue equipment. uh... at the end of the war and you you go around your traveling around and i would you get back you know because in the quality of the equipment as opposed to the step down the took place progressively well the farther you get away from that the more obvious it is but everybody used to the chance so that becomes the standard well if you're the deal there's a popular looking uniform it's a thinner it's lighter the we've is off the colors different Cut's not necessarily as good in general and typically isn't and the cloth doesn't lay right on the body. Whereas the older uniforms, again, American Standard, American Quality, Herringbone, Twill Weave, everything was triple stitched, the whole nine yards. That doesn't the case nowadays. And that's the stuff that we're yard troops are getting. So, let's talk about that guy for a second. Many, many years ago when I first started bowhunting, somebody gave me their lucky pair of camouflage pants and don't ever take that lucky dollar bill out of that pocket. So I haven't. A year or three after that I'm standing in a meeting, the first time I've been to this meeting. This guy comes over to me and he sticks his elbow in my ribs and he says, he looks at me, he looks at my pants, he says, you're not that old are you? That man was Andy Kellerman. He was looking at a pair of the marine reversible pants that went ashore like a Guadalcanal and later the beach. pattern on one side and you take him off and you turn him inside out and you got the jungle pattern on the inside he was looking at a pair of those and he knew what he was looking at I've never met this guy before he comes up sticks an elbow in my ribs and says you're not that old are you? over a pair of pants but he knew what he was looking at Mark Yeah. You know, you guys, I know Mark does a lot of traveling and, you know, so do I. And, you know, sometimes I'll go into these trucks, a pile of truck stops like North Carolina, for example. And there'll be three chartered buses sitting out there. And, you know, and so 150 infantry come out of the buses and they all stop and get food at the truck stop. And it's almost embarrassing to see what they're wearing because exactly what Mark's saying, it looks like they're wearing cardboard fabric. I mean, it doesn't even look... It's really cheap type of material and even the boots aren't even all that hot. I mean, I was really... I was checking them out and I was saying, you know, all the equipment was like third-rate. It wasn't even... It's kind of embarrassing, you know, if you look at it real quick. It's because the specs and the standards have been altered intentionally. Their logic is, again, they've been allowed to charge the same amount. I mean, they're still charging the same for a uniform, pretty much, as they were before, even though the quality has gone down. And there are varying contracts. Some of these are from Guatemala, but they're actually Chinese. That was the big thing. What was it, Guatemala and the other one? A couple of the Caribbean states. I think it was Dominican Republic as a contract. But it's Chinese run. All the carabiners run by the Chinese. So it's Chinese sweatshops and mostly, again, where's the cloth made? Is the cloth made in the United States? There's a cloth made overseas. Now there are a couple of companies, in fact there's only one that really does any, there's only one American company that does any of the greater contract runs, or some of them, I won't say the greatest, but they do some of the contract runs as part of the overall procurement But they're a minority. They're not the majority of what's going on with what's being purchased. So you actually, a lot of the stuff we have because we can cherry pick, like I've said, and buy surplus the way we have, we're buying from a different era and we're buying in many cases brand new. And then we pick the new stuff with the old stuff and use what we can so that we can afford to, you know, again, put an army together for a whole lot less, but it's still perishable. We're going to end up using the other junk. inevitably no matter what. The problem is, is the other junk isn't going to last. No, you won't see a pair of these current issues 50 years from now like a lot of canal pants. You won't see it. No, there'll be dust in the dust and ash. You find them in a drawer and you lift them up and they rip. I'll give you a dime, do you? You can lift them up in a drawer 50 years from now and you go to lift them out of the drawer and they just come apart. Let's do this. Can you stick around or you gotta go? I gotta go Mark. Okay, let's do this. Night vision technology, you have it. Bring everybody up to speed again on the Thor's because people were asking what you were talking about there and all the contact information please. Oh hey, the Thor's, that's thermal night vision you guys. You don't have to use it. When we talk thermal, we don't have to talk night vision. You can use it 24 hours a day. Now the one problem with that is, well, if it gets to be about 98 degrees around your house in the morning and it gets a little hotter, if it separates from that, then you get that separation of that 98 degrees in your screen, you know. So even thermal has some problems that, well, green screen doesn't. And we've talked about that before, but we were talking about different levels of vocation from like one and a quarter to, there's a four that'll go out to 50 power. Now that's a lot of amplification, a lot of magnification on top of a rifle. I'd like to see that rifle on a bipod, wouldn't you? Because that's going to show you, man, that breeze that goes by and wiggles a few hairs in your nose, that's going to show you those hairs wiggling in your nose if that gun's up to your shoulder and you know that's a bit of an exaggeration. But that 50 power will allow you to recognize a human being. Not Frank or Ralph, not recognize. He needs a shave or something. But to know that that's a human being at 1500 meters, that's just short of a mile, you guys. That's the top end for. Bottom, the entry level for at 1.25 to 5 power. will recognize a human they're saying now at 180 yards and detect that human if he turns and starts to walk away at 400 yards. That's meters. I'm sorry. So, that's entry level. Now, that 400 meter detection, that's better than a second generation gun sight with no moon. That's better than a lot of, depending on the background, Depending on the camouflage, if the guy's standing there with good camouflage out in the open against a good camouflage background, at 400 meters you probably won't see that person. If again, he's not contrasting his background and not moving, you probably won't see him with a third generation piece unless you look right at him and study him and all of a sudden your brain says, oh I know, hey that's a person isn't it? But with a piece of thermal, you're going to detect that. It's gonna be insistent, it is not light level dependent. Hey, the phone number is 231-796-8458. If you go over to the website, you'll need that phone number to reduce the prices. You know the website, ydpoe.us. Thank you, Martin. Very good. Why are you dealing with a stranger? Don Vetcher's available. And again, guys, if you have any questions about the technology, take the time, give him a call, ask the questions. If he doesn't have the answer right there, you'll get all the people who build the stuff. Find out exactly what's going on. Yep. God bless the Republic. Death to the New World of Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen, the Empire is on the rocks. We are on the March of all day and night. Doo-rah, Doc, your number for night vision web patients, take us out for the hour, please. A to number two, three, one, seven, nine, six, eight, four, five, eight, the website, ydkoe.us. Thank you, God bless you, God bless you, man.
