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 land of the free and 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 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'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 and shame. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and see and re-farm and keep our country. 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 can meet. 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. Both sons of the Republic arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of plan, preserve our great Republic and eat God given right. We pray to God to torture freedom burning bright. As I awoke he 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 trampled 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'd fought to keep, what would be your answer? He called out from the grave, dill the land at the sea. They're hitting us with here, which is as likely as not. We have, I mean, it's a very good round us, north of us, probably about half a county, less than half a county away, south of us. Southwest, getting rain for sure. Southeast, getting rain for sure. Talk to people. They said, yep, it's raining here right now. People just left a few months ago. It's raining south and southwest of us right now. So the force field or the radiation they're hitting us with to kill us here, whatever it is, seems to be doing a good job of giving us the ability to continue to work when other people can't, which is great. It is, of course, a middle of the weekday. So Dom, the day today, what's it like in your neck of the woods? And what's jumping off the wall, please? Hey, it's raining over here on this, the 12th, 16th. Great day. I don't think I could point out the sun in the sky right now. I think it might have quit raining for a minute Mark, but it'll get back to it the way it's been going. Again, the 12th day of October. It's Columbus Day. Chinese will tell you they were here first. Way over there, other side of the world. At any rate, down the middle of the week, you know how it works. 9-11 in one hand. You can look right through it when the magazine well is empty. Full magazine in the other hand, well, we just solved that problem. Hey, I went into the chamber too, now we can tell you that. It is a weapons Wednesday. The perimeter is Sical, it needs some attention off this magazine. If you keep pulling that lever on that reloader, you can tell yourself, much as I am right now, there's plenty more where that came from. And then the magazine goes back. And that means we can offer equal opportunity, course, and force. Yup. Now for everybody out there, again, how are we carrying that? Well, there's a number of different options as far as cowboy carry or whatever you're doing guys. And what I mean by that is whatever cowboy style you want, cross draw, hip draw, low hip hanger, shoulder holster, whatever you're going to choose, just make sure that you get used to using it and that it's accessible. Remember that depending on the conditions and situation, some holsters work in one instance but not in another. The most universal is the shoulder holster in whatever form. Military pancake, a number of different military or off-the-wall production type vehicle operators holsters, which by the way are either attached to your assault gear or are free and independent hangers. The World War II was popular and still is pretty popular with a lot of people, myself included, for field work because it's a simple design, it's easy to fix. This is something most people don't realize about leather holsters, especially the World War II patterns. I challenge you to unmap it and look at it and realize it's one piece of leather. If you ever pay attention to how things are constructed, you might want to look. The World War II holsters, well actually the pre-World War II holsters, the standard hip holster everybody loves so well, seen so many movies, is a single piece of leather with one or two small leather attachments. In other words, you've got the little bumper like reinforced piece, that's an add-on. But the primary holster is a one piece cut, making it the most efficient design. Here's a really interesting thing. You might also notice that the way the design was cut It works to the cut of the other slab if it was reversed. You mean to say that when they were cutting for one holster they were automatically cutting for the next one too? All you had to do was fold it the other way and hit those rivets that way. And away you go. Isn't that amazing? And again, thought through. So the important thing is that while no, it's not necessarily a super dirty hairy speed holster. And again, it's a matter of conditions. What are you using the thing for? If I was carrying a 1911, a franking carry, a 1911, and a jackass rig, a horizontal carry, because I'm kind of big chested. OK, I'm a big bone boy, in that respect. I'm not as big as some other people where they might be even heavier than me and also a little bulkier and even taller and they can comfortably carry a you know a full-size 1911 horizontally in a hanger rig and you wouldn't even know it's there and I know a lot of people who do myself If I carry something like that in a jackass rig it was either a star staggered Brigadier or or it was a short slide, well, commander slide 1911, which is again one of the custom guns that I've had for a couple of decades, thanks to one of our listeners who was a master gunsmith. And his guns are all custom guns. If I carry the Jackass rig, the reason I like the Jackass rig, something we have talked about many times. The action may not work well in the holster, But I swear to God I can pull the trigger if I just get my hand on the gun and I turn my body, I can put one bullet in you and I ain't going to worry about taking that coat off. Right. Or worrying about the gun clearing anything. The jackass rigs were designed to be kind of like a holster bra. If you take a look at the design, they hang the animal again over the, they cross over the shoulder and they're a figure eight and a really long taffy figure eight. So they go up under the armpit and have a counterweight by having carrying whatever magazines you want to carry. If you have a Brigadier, The Star Brigadier before all these other guns came out was really a big gun when it came into service because a lot of cop shops like there are cops who want to carry it because it's a large magazine staggered, you know, large magazine capacity 45. Double action and single action. It's kind of like a Model 59 Smith & Wesson on steroids. Okay. A good gun, light, a lot lighter than the 1911 in that respect, which of course for the cops it always will shave the weight off and do whatever. A good gun, but I still like the 1911 better in general for most everything in way of performance. and the short slide fits comfortably under the armpit in the hanger like that. Two magazines in the counter hanger but some of them actually made a quad mag so you could actually carry two mags and two mags. One hanging down the inner part of the side of your chest under your armpit. Comfortable to carry in that configuration. You're not going to do jumping jacks or a whole lot of special stuff. Remember it's a gravity hanging system. And it's designed to be casual defense. You know, for administrative or casual environments, party environments, that kind of thing. Or event environments. It's not a combat rig. Not designed for, you know, the other end of the battlefield where we are, which is go out, beat the snot out of stuff, get beat on sometimes, jostle around a lot, and don't lose what you're carrying. Which means that the system you choose for field use not only has to be accessible but it also needs to be able to protect the weapon, its farmering and patting and protecting the weapon, and yet they'll retain the weapon. There's something embarrassing about having that really cool holster that when you go to reach for the gun there just doesn't seem to be a grip there and then you realize it's because the gun's not there. And then you realize it's because the keeper that was supposed to hold the gun wasn't really as well made as everybody thought it was or tried to promote it. And it's so embarrassing because maybe the buddies in the next platoon have your pistol now. You know, because they're the follow-up platoon behind you and somebody goes, hey guys, look! I found a pistol! Yeah, it's looking brand new! If you're lucky they might be friendly and go, oh, that's Carcay's gun. Oh yeah, we'll find him. He's up ahead. Pack radio up, tell him we found a pistol tree back here. They're giving them away for free. Think about it. So again, there's the balance. You have to make sure that the system retains what it is that you're putting into it. This is especially critical. The other part about that is also magazine carry. So on the one hand, you can, you know, there's very convenient, but very convenient in a field situation. It has to be balanced against, again, basically rugged ability. how rugged is the system? Can't handle dings, bounces, jumping in and out of vehicles, moving in and out of aircraft, running across fields, running through jagged and, shall we say, turned environments. That's why the system, they get different application, different carry system. Again, the shoulder system is still probably, or at least a front chest shoulder system is probably your best choice. And there's two reasons for that, because I got boo-booed on my right arm and I've got a thigh sling, but I need to get to my handgun because my boo-booed arm had the rifle. The rifle isn't my boo-booed arm anymore because I can't do anything with a boo-boo arm. But, uh, Ching-Li and his buddies are fairly close and think they want to do harm to me. Perhaps I would like to do harm to them before they kill me. Yeah, they would like to do great bodily harm. So, being able to acquire that second firearm with that left usable hand is part of the formula and calculation and it needs to be readily available. So here again, in the shoulder holster where you can pivot your arm inward and actually achieve control of the gun and faster, that is a better choice. Also it's in the upper body carry station and I carry both by the way. I carry two pistols typically. And I'll carry the other gun in the combat harness on the pistol belt on the right side. in the traditional station with six magazines on the rig somewhere. Depending on which system it is, six magazines side by side. Okay, you're side by side by side basically. Beyond that, and remember I'm carrying the same gun, a 1911 in a shoulder holster and a 1911 in a hip holster. So the, and what do you carry all of those guns for? Well, Daddy Mark almost always has had to experience the, I lost this. And like I said before, I would much rather have a person who might be, oh, shocked for a minute because all of a sudden they're not able to fight, but all of a sudden you being able to shove something into their chest and saying, point that direction and do some damage. See, that's one of the things about team leader, being a team leader or platoon leader or even a company commander, guys, all the leadership is supposed to be motivating and moving the troops. not prima donnas posturing for photo images combine that with a thought earlier in the day we're just about to be overrun on that section make it over there and take one of their guns one of their long grab whatever he's got this is corpse head corpse in corpse corpse a five hand over there yep because whatever it is it obviously was shooting at us yep and you just made him he you just made him dead I'll bet you it still works That is the first priority. But the thing is that you see it's like gas masks. And I have had first hand with this using gas and deploying gas. It's the reason I learned to carry a second mask. It's not for me, although it's nice to have the second mask and I'll use it in a heartbeat. It's that guy that stops, does everything right and then reaches into that gas mask bag just like the other guy a minute ago reached for his pistol. and you hear that call, my gas mask is gone. Now there's a reason that normally they probably have better discipline, but that wall of piss yellow or that wall of dirty gray that's heading towards them usually creates a bit of, shall we say, panic about respiratory distress. The reason, because, well, once you've trained everybody with gas and they've experienced it, people go to gas chambers, things like that, they realize that there's really a purpose for carrying a gas mask. And so when they find that their gas mask isn't there, as I have experienced firsthand with people, they tend to get a little panicky. Having that second mask to shove in their gut, put it on. Don't try to put it on them. Don't try to baby them. No, shove it in their gut, put it on. The person did exactly, I watched this happen. The person did exactly what he was supposed to do. Went through the numbers flawlessly, which is amazing because we used to call him chainsaw, okay? That was not a complimentary statement. Again, the same is true in that yourself, you might need it. I'm a firm believer in more firepower. If you want to carry a Barrett into the field, I'm going to be right there to help you out. I'll be there to thumbs up, support you, and give you moral and physical support. Give me 20 rounds, I'll carry 20 rounds for you. Yeah, I'll carry, yeah, exactly. I'll carry some more weight. You want to know why? I know what that kind of van damage that thing's going to do. Oh, yeah. You see, and especially if you are capable of everybody, see, the other part about this is with handguns, with your rifles, your personal firearms, all categories, we should be thinking heavy infantry. everybody should be thinking heavy infantry i don't care if you're hop light response units going in and i've said this many times like with the body of the money ranching came up we had mike up you know the yesterday and i would point out again the same thing we're going into a situation where there is a high probability of contact or combat it could also be that the escalation is already taking place and you're now responding to what everybody's been expecting that war that was just around the corner guys you cannot assume that what you need will be at the other end when you need it. The other issue is, again, you've now changed from garrison or peacetime to actual combat slash conflict activity. Consumption levels now become real. You're not going to the range to plank. You're fighting and you are trying to survive the battlefield. To do that, you have to be better equipped, better trained, perform better as a team. Whoever understands logistics into this wins. And I will use my favorite example of bat faggots. They pump themselves up. They train for a year. Now I know they're going to try and do better than they did, but the problem is when you're on attacking infantry, a secret police unit, You're forced to be mobile and at some point you got to get away from those vehicles which means even if you brought spares along You only got so much to carry when you're offensive Okay, that O word offensive So when they come across the field there the moment you can get them to start burning ammunition It is like a video game except there's no re-hit button for reload Just think about this two gone five gone ten gone 30-God magazine change. That's one. What is their standard for magazines? Mine, like I said, everybody actually asks this several times, 22 mags if you can. You will drop them initially if you can. And again, this is, well, there are several processes here, but I want to finish the first one. Again, the idea here is that you are constantly looking at resupply. You advance your supply forward, you drop it in the area of activity as a defender or if you're in a relief unit and then you squeeze the enemy between the fighting forces that you have. Whatever method you perfected or whatever method your unit team leaders choose. But whatever it is you're going to do, you've got to be able to go pew, pew, pew, or boom, boom, boom, a lot more than they do to win. You've got to put firepower where it's needed, but accuracy, along with sufficient firepower. In fact, if it's a choice, I'll take accuracy every time. If I hit him once, I don't have to miss him another 499 times, do I? Exactly. See the issue there? I got one. Yeah. Well, and here again, now the next part about this is accuracy. Okay, one of the things about our combined arms team like we've said, some people are better at it than others, some people just love that spray and prayer, love that saturation thing. It's one thing if you're working up against inexperienced troops, but it's another thing if you have experience and or you have worked the discipline, you know, the discipline into the troops to face the action and to respond, not react. See, that's the problem the other side has. They've been pumped up that they're going to do the shuck and jive routine and everybody's going to be so awed. And you see in the movies, they reinforce this all the time with the, woo hoo! Well, how about if you get, you know, again, once you're methodical and you just stay focused, have you ever hunted deer? Just think of it the same way. Greatest range out, though, and you start putting bullets on target. Not only are there fewer of them, but remember if they continue the advance, whoever you put on the ground, their supply chain stops right there. That's that much more firepower in terms of whatever sustained firepower they had that isn't advancing with the offensive element. So the more you can, the more people you can bleed farther out, They're not going to go, oh here, Val, take my other ten mags and run with them. That ain't going to happen. You want to know why? Because if Bob the Batfaggot is back there at 300 yards still bleeding, he's worried about the idea. So, man, if they got this good, in the back of his mind is I got to be able to defend myself. So unless you put a hole in him to the point where he's, you know, as we say, out of the game, can't think for himself, And even then, they're probably not going to think about the traditional, again, paracommensural or unconventional policy of, if a man goes down and he's totally incapacitated or dead, strip him of all his gear that you're going to need that's perishable. In other words, ammunition, pyrotechnics and grenades, and then certainly food if it's even longer haul. And anything else that's useful for that matter, you're not going to throw anything away. That doesn't go on the ground. That goes to all the men around you because whoever it is that died it took calories to get that equipment to that point on the battlefield calories you didn't burn which means you did you got it it's a it's not the nice freebie the nice freebie is taking it off your enemy you're finding it you know or overrunning a cash or you know overrunning an enemy position and acquiring their goodies. Oh let it a Rolex. Yeah exactly. Oh have you watched the video I recommended Doug? I haven't seen it yet. No I couldn't help but bring that up though. Oh look, a roller. Somebody got a really nice watch and had to put it in a video. I'm surprised. But then again, I don't think it's paying attention. I think it was the mind wandering thing. This is fascinating to me. Anyway, yes, whatever it is you find. And by the way, timepieces, I'm looking right now at buying a tray of timepieces from one of the wholesalers. All the same watch, all the same model. all wind up. Try and find wind up watches out on the market. Nobody thinks, oh electric, I'm on electric. It's like, no, I want wind up. And I want them all the same. And the previous, all from the same tray. So, Bao Chu, Bing Bong, Pao Bong will probably be the guy that put them together. And Choo Choo Bao Nui, who's now named Rockefeller, because that guy's heart's in Rockefeller's chest right now, probably was the unsuspecting next donor for this year. Anyway, the wind-up watches watches in general because time pieces timing is everything Logistics is you know again the getting the energy there then timing to make it happen Timing to apply what you have available Okay. Now another thing is we were in going back to weapons and you say it's weapons Wednesday Had a couple questions about a couple other firearms one of them I didn't I don't have any information on it's one of the turf pistols that came in somebody I had a friend pick one up, one of our allies, with a doctor's battalion down here. It's now a battalion. They are well over 600 and some organized militiamen. They're here at the bottom end in the middle of Washtenaw County. And a bunch of them are doctors. There's hate, the regime. I have never heard such venom automatically distributed by a person's lips. asking about this because they, well what do you think about it? I said I really don't, I haven't had the time, you guys are going to be doing the research. So here's the thing, we're going to have a little more follow up on this because these guys bought a couple of these pistols and so far they've taken the range once and they said, oh they've cycled fine, they're just, you know, they're nothing to write home about. They're crossed, like I said, between a SIG and a Beretta. Very much the Beretta feel on the base because some of these guys are, you know, like the doctors are, you know, former military and personal sidearms with most of those officers had guys, you know, pistols, 92s, Brether 92s, and they said pretty well feels the same, shoots the same. So we'll have more information on it, but like I told them, I said, find out about parts. They said, so far they haven't been able to find anything out at all. So I got the suspicion about most, like, mechanics. You know, the mechanics have come and gone. I don't know if there is a parts system support for those guns. Certainly they're being sold and the company name exists in the United States, but as far as what's going on with it, that's a question mark I'm going to find out more about by tomorrow. In fact, it'll be tomorrow during the day because it does make me wonder also. It's like, this is interesting. Now the other thing about it that I also brought to my attention is a mixed bag. The one thing the doctors also use are AK-74s. They bought tons of them back when I told everybody to. They bought pallets of ammo. Have no problem with the ammunition whatsoever. No problem with the weapons they bought. It's a mixed bag, mostly again, the kit guns that were put together about three, four years ago. Pretty good shape in general. Gray-Matte Re-Finished, Gray-Matte Re-Parkerized, we'll take a Vanette. But they're saying that they're definitely seeing some differences in some of the mags. Once again, there's a couple of the No Name Brand AK mags that they've had one they had a problem with. Now, as I pointed out, the first thing you look at on all these guys, and I don't care if they are plastic or if they are metal, disassemble your magazine. And the first thing you do is look for sharp edges on those big long ears and trails on the follower. Why? Well, think about this. Metal is a lot softer than you realize. And if you have a sharp edge and you have whatever grade of steel, pot metal steel they're using for the mags, it's still good steel. They make sure it's not total junk. I mean, I shouldn't say pot metal, but it's not 41, 40 chromoly, OK? And what happens is, if there is a sharp edge, you will dig or bite into the metal and it works like a break. Now what's interesting is, well, Mark, you said the plastic ones. I said, yeah, well, here's the thing. The plastic is a matter of mold trimming. Now if you don't know anything about that, ask somebody who's into plastics and they'll explain to you, oh, yeah, it comes out of the mold. It doesn't look like you see it. There's actually a little brushing and finishing that's done. Usually it's all like almost grinder polisher work. Sure enough, on the one, it was molded plastic. It sounds almost like it was a Tapco. He said, no, but it's not a Tapco. These are an off-ball mag that is no-name brand generic. They got them for about $7-8 apiece. The first thing that they did is looked at the followers, like I said, and sure enough, for whatever reason, they compared one to the next. The follower made it through the inspection or made it through the bench without being properly ground and polished the rest of the way. It doesn't look like it's ground, it's just polished. That's why they have that nice smooth shiny surface. You can change out followers but most of the times you don't have to. I know Magpul makes phenomenal followers for everything and I have no problem. I have not seen a Magpul follower fail yet. Not that I know of. In fact the very first ones they made, it's nice that they've made newer models, but I wouldn't change out if you already got the first one that they made because that's what they made their career on. So it's mold. It can be trimming on the follower or it can be sharp edges. With the sharp edges, break out the Dremel tool. Don't go ape crazy on this guys. If you're with your fingers, be careful. Don't cut yourself, because yes, some of these are actually sharpened if you get a boo-boo. So what you want to do is get that sharpness off there. It's actually part of the whole polishing and buffing process when you're tuning a gun up. When you want to make competition mags, that's really where you get the more expensive mags. They just assemble those things. They might inspect every mag, and then they tune every mag, just like they tune the guns. OK, we had a caller. Caller, jump in there, please. Yeah Mark, how many rounds does a semi-auto 74 shoot? Standard 30 round mag. The AK-74 and AK-47 both use standard 30 round mags. They make a 40 round mag that works for the RPK. Either the RPK-74 if it's an AK-74, or a 40 round mag that was supposed to be used by the gunners of the regular RPKs in 7.62x39. The one thing that I can't find, and I still, I put the word out, I'm kind of asking I guess anybody watch for this, there's a couple of people and I assume they probably took regular AK-74 steel drums and they've modified them for the 74. But somebody's got some 75-round steel drums that fit the AK-74. And those are very few, not much of anything came into the country. Whatever they've got they have kept. And pretty much when they got to the 74, they did not promote the drum in that gun the way they did in the regular RPK. So if you're a squad gunner in a Russian unit or an East Block unit when the AK-74 came out, they just expected you to carry more 40 round mags. Now, my problem with the AK 40 round mag, as I said, it's a cool mag. I've got probably 300 of them because I bought them back when they were $1.35 apiece. or $1.10 if you bought $100 at a time. They're East German or they're Czech or they're, well not Czech, forgive me, they're East German, Hungarian, Yugoslavian, whatever. The only thing is they're tall. If you've got a 40-round mag underneath your AK, you've got to stretch those elbows a little more when you're in the prone position. Okay, so what I recommend is like I said, you carry the 40s. If you use have 40s, you carry them for travel magazines. In other words, when you know you're not necessarily going to make contact, you couldn't afford a drum or you didn't want to carry a drum, but you put a 40-rounder in there, and if you have to spray and pray, that's the first mag you use, then you drop it. You don't save it, you drop it. And then you go to your next mags, whatever they are. Just like a drum. If you got a drum and you're in an ambush, dump it, fire it up. burn it out, dump it, then go to your other mess. And my next question was, what's on a 74, what's the, how far out will it reach? Same as the 7.60x39 and the 5.45x39 pretty much have the same range performance, but once again, and I know there's been this argument that, well, it's a little hotter, to get it to do what they want it to do finally, they went from the original lighter bullet all the way up to a 70 and I think what they've got a 74 or 78 grain is the latest one they're testing. So we're right back up to you know this like the 223 to get the 223 to do more they had to go with a heavier bullet, they had to go with a bigger bullet. They're both basically in the same performance range if I had units out there I wouldn't really differentiate if I had a squad of AK you know carriers that showed up I treat them no matter 74 or 47 I treat them the same. I give them the same jobs. Because it's the volume fire and the basic design of the weapon, the potential weapon is consistent. You know, M16, Mini-14, AK-74, AK-47, those guns are light rifles. That's how you have to think of them. They're our light riflemen. Now, then we got our main battle rifles, you know, M1 grands, FALs, you know, HK-91s, etc., etc., anything in a big caliber. They would be our heavy, you know, those are heavy riflemen, heavy infantry. The light rifle will still be on a heavy infantryman because the heavy infantryman is... the best way to think about a heavy infantryman is like a Hessian. All German forces that came to America were heavy infantry. In fact, that's why they were so happy, Don. Remember, we attacked somebody on Christmas, didn't we? Right across the river there. Here's vittles boys, let's go get them. And not only that, but they knew when they took one. In fact, it's not the only action. In three actions afterwards, there are specific comments. They were like, they always were impressed with how much booty they could get from the Hessians. And they weren't all Hessians, it's just the most common were from Hess. But the Hessian forces or the German type forces had every personal weapon you could imagine and in strength. They carried a personal sword, they carried a personal knife, they carried a fighting knife, they in many cases carried pistols or pistols in addition to a musket. And of course they all had bayonets. So they were heavy infantry. They were equipped with everything they could possibly be given to them. And it was one of the complaints because they were well-burdened. On top of that, their uniforms were quite restricted because they were more of a dress uniform like the British. They weren't a working fatigue uniform, but they created a lot of fatigue. Okay? And that was the con... Yeah. So we took their weapons, but not so much their uniforms. You get me, Driv? Yes, because they were quite well embroidered and very heavy and they're great for winter gear as far as winter clothing goes. If you get off a corpse, you take whatever you can find. But heavy infantry, that's what we should be focusing on. And that means, again, heavy on the support for the weapon systems, bayonet, personal fighting tools of all types. You can always set it down in a cache. you can always lay something down but you sure as hell can't pull it out of your arse if it's 50 miles away back home. That's one of the things I always argue with people, I don't need my E-Tool. Yeah, until you need it. You know, put it on your backpack. When you dump your backpack it stays there if that's what you think. Me, I carry my E-Tool on my left rear butt cheek and I always will. Yeah, that does not come off my gear. And there's a reason for that. It's got a nice sharp blade on it. Okay? Makes for a nice shovel too. I'm going to It's just, the perspective here is again, all these light rifles work, the 74 works, that's why I've never, somebody's asked about the Mini-14 like they were expecting me to ridicule and it's like, no. I know a lot of guys that will run circles around many people who think they're experienced with their ARs and AKs, and they've been using a Mini-14 since they came out. And I feel confidence in them. If that man was behind me, I wouldn't say, change up the gun, I know what you're gonna do with that. No, just a reverse. I've seen the man shoot. I don't know he's capable with his weapon. The only thing I ask is whatever you embrace, embrace as a master. If you think it's the next best thing since sliced white bread, I want you to show me how it works. Make a commitment to it. Yeah, exactly. Yes, you should be in front of the television doing immediate action, practicing, dissembling, disassembling. Yes, you should be in front of the television loading and unloading mags and cleaning weapons. You can do multitasking, you have some entertainment while you're doing what you're doing. Just focus enough to make sure you don't make any mistakes in the process. But any time you can, yes, you should be carrying and you should be handling the firearm. Now, if your mission as an adult to make sure that nothing stupid happens with it. But then again, I consider you an adult and while I might remind you, I'm not going to harp on you if you and I were standing there. I'm just going to ask once, you know, clear or unclear, you know, what's going on with it. And I'm not going to tell you to empty the magazine because it will feel safe. See, that's one of the other things. What are you going to do when we're in a retreat situation and all of a sudden you tell everybody everything's live? One before everybody was used to the paranoia. Oh, I can't have a little bit of a kilon. Oh, I can't have a magazine. Oh, I can't. You know, I go right down the shopping list. Whereas on the other hand, at any moment you could be set upon by, you know, any scallywags or government, take a pic. So you've got to be in the curve now. And with what we're seeing on national television, guys, look at just some of the garbage. that they're generating here in the last couple of days with Trump, for instance. And it's like, this is not new, except that they're focusing on Trump. Guys, they did this to everybody else out there. And the only thing that really bothers them is that Trump takes the same attitude I've argued for years. Oh, you don't like me. Oh, you didn't like me before. And if I bet over and lick my own hind end, you'd just laugh and still wouldn't like me. So why don't you go piss off? You see how that works? Your enemy is never going to be your friend. But boy they like you to be stupid enough to think that you need to appease them in some way. This is the problem with our country right now. These people are your enemy. If they have their way, what's the thing Nancy brought up the 50% inheritance tax that they want to try and stomp on everybody with? Now only the communists want that because they haven't stolen enough from you so they want to take pretty much everything they can. And there's a lot more, again, with regard to the tax. This is just the part that everybody's got an idea about. The WikiLeaks information has told us a lot more. But this situation, no matter how you look at it, it is not going to get better until we make it better. And in order to do that, we need to be really good at what we do. We are not like that. Those poor kids in Iraq that all our troops are laughing about because they never fired a weapon maybe in their life or didn't get a chance to maybe fire two or three rounds in some kind of live fire before they had to go in as guerrillas and fight the US forces. We're not in that situation. And the idiots on the other side really can't wrap their brain around that either, that if we have to fight the police state, It's not like you're fighting some poor guys in the sandals wearing granel grandpa's underpants because they're so stinkin' poor. That's right. We've been doing this all our lives and you know what? Transisting over to putting those crosshairs on the target is preferred right now. It needs to happen. There isn't a person out there you can't talk to. This is the other thing. It's like the numbers, guys. Oh, everybody, the only people are upset with, and you hear this in all of the supposed conservative talk radio. One of the guys were doing some work here, and we're listening to some of the AM, you know, FM talk radio today. And I'm listening to it. We don't listen to them hardly at all. But it's funny, they're, they're, they're, all the stuff that we told everybody about. Oh my goodness, they did this. Oh my goodness. Oh, you mean the stuff the Patriot movement talked about in the 90s. Oh my God, they're doing this and they're doing that. Oh, you mean the stuff we all told you about? Miats. Oh you mean everything that we told everybody about, that the Patriot Womba told everybody about, that all these lip service to the New World Order click, you know, when they were licking their rumpus because they thought there were two sides? Now they've discovered? Now again, it's like, well better late than never. No, because you see, they want to try and get it back to where it was so they can still piss on the average American that isn't up to speed and, you know, be able to settle in there and enjoy some power. But it's very obvious that somebody doesn't plan on sharing, except with those neo-cons that are the fellow communist travelers. And everybody else, they don't. Well, if they have their way, you either aren't going to have a job or you aren't even going to have your life. You see? Just look at the arrogance. It's like, oh, it's so close. Hillary won this, or Hillary has just got so much where she got support. Right now we're neck and neck. We have six signs. If I drive off of this property and I go down the road, we've got a big Trump sign down the road. It's a four by eight sheet of plywood one of the farmers put up and nobody's going to be stupid enough to touch that, okay? We got another Trump sign down the road with another house. Then we got a big four by eight sign with a Hillary sign in town on the way towards the expressway. And one more Hillary sign, small one out there. Then there's one Hillary and one Trump. That's it. I'm in the communist Ann Arbor area, guys, and it's tit for tat. Right now it's one for one. I was just pointing out to Nancy, it's like one big one. Other than that, there's nothing out there. And anybody you talk to hates Hillary the Hutt. When this garbage about, it's so close, the only thing that they're doing, it's the same. It's just like what happened when they did the BS before the debate. The same 50 monkeys, the same 50 neo-cons that were backstabbing everybody before jumped up and said, oh, oh, Trump needs to leave now. Oh, this is so outrageous. These were republic rats, guys. Fake ones, rhinos, you know what I mean? But it's the same bunch over and over again, the neo-cons, who, by the way, have no problem. In fact, they're pushing to get Hillary the Hutt in, your enemy. That will push their apple cart a little farther down the road. Hopefully, Donny will upset it. Yeah. Would be nice. I don't care if you bust a wheel off and throws it over in the ditch and just sits there in the middle of the road. Yeah. That's fine by me. Yeah. We've said for years, you know, no action is fine. This whole thing, well, they're not going anywhere. Good. That means they're not stealing from us. Well, they're still stealing from us, but they're not stealing more from us. Okay? Go ahead, caller. Hillary, you know, she's lazy. She wants a world government so she doesn't have to work. And she also wants a corporate run world corporations rule. She's a real piece of work this woman. And she's half dead. I don't even know. I just don't understand. It's mind boggling to think anybody would even vote for her. Have you heard the latest out on the road with the radio you're listening to? I mean, you're listening to us, I know that. But the comments today, they're talking like they want to cancel the third debate. No, I can't see why. And again, see, this is what's interesting, as we pointed out. You know, Reagan and Bush, that was one of the primaries, went tooth and nailed at each other. That's why you don't see reruns of them because if you want to see a dog fight or if you want to see a couple of pissed off people that are trying to not look like they're pissed off but can't help it, watch the debates between Reagan and Bush. They're the most entertaining and that's why you don't see them in the news. Now, there's not a time that I can think of where anybody, unless maybe I've got a lapse of memory, but does anybody remember ever canceling any of the debates in the past? Nope. And I can recall. Once you schedule it, people were expecting it, and after all, how hard is it for these two swabs to show up at a third spot and stand in front of a bunch of people and yap their face back and forth? Throw them mother together, yeah. See, in fact, it's part of the, what's expected as part of the Dog and Pony show for the elections. Okay? She's getting her ass kicked. She doesn't want any more to be. I think the declining health issue is such she can't even stay. Before I remember, she had to sit down within 20 minutes of being up there on the stage. I think they realize she can't even handle that in the next loop. Whatever it is that may be so debilitating, again, some person has said, one person said, well, you know, all the symptoms are syphilis, like in stage. Yeah, in stage, because especially with the sores and everything that people were bringing up. I don't know what it is, but there's a whole lot of things you can die from on this planet because people do every day. Remember that. Right now, as we speak, somebody's leaving their mortal coil. But some of them are nastier than others. It doesn't necessarily have to be a venereal disease. It can just be, hey, you went where? Didn't you read the warnings? Well, you know, Hillary's got that massage midget strap through her chest. You know, that's a lot of weight. She can't deal with that. Yeah, well, the tentacle up her arse, that's why she can't walk very well. Remember that bum hole gets stretched after a while from that tentacle, that Israeli tentacle. And if it loosens up or slides out at all, it's like the spine is gone. Like I said, first they flummox out their spine and that tentacle shoved up their arse. You need to be a bit of a rounder to help her into the truck. Yeah, because remember, squid out of water really isn't all that tough either, is he? You know what I mean? That's basically what these railways are, squids out of water. Unless they can get somebody else to kill people for them, you know, like us. So anyway, the whole thing with her is it could be, because otherwise, I mean, they got What's the difference between them one time standing up there and flapping their yap and all these other dog and pony show trips out and around the planet? In fact, it's of greater value to both candidates to be in one place where 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, or 100 million people could see you, theoretically, as opposed to going to one place where maybe 400 or 500 people will see you, or in Trump's case, several thousand. Okay, with Hillary, maybe 20. See, that's why for her it makes no sense to not be up on the stage. But if you can't even stand up there, then needless to say, that's not a good situation. And I believe that's really where we are. Her illness is catching up or moving to whatever level. They know it. They also have to catch it. Here's the other thing. What they did is they kept her out of all other activities before the second one. And remember we've talked about this. It's a sine wave. There are days when you feel good, there are days when you don't feel so good. When you don't feel so good, you don't get anything done. But you see if you catch it, and you don't know what days those are going to be, so if all of a sudden you get the low end of the roll, Well, she won't look so good being out there on a gurney with an IV stuck in her arm, will she? Yeah, this is cool. Yeah, she won't even, she takes her, you know, she can't even take a bus anymore. She's got to get in a corporate jet. She'll take a corporate jet just for 300 miles, Mark. Well, that's an isolation and a speed. Yeah, that's again, if you've got the, if the person is a medical basket case. You can keep everything you need on that. The only people who are going to know anything are who's in that aluminum prison tube that you've created, just like government does with TSA. Okay? The other point to be made here, you guys, is there probably had to be a great sigh from the Hillary camp when Donnie said you'd be in jail or when he talked about bringing up a special investigator, put her in jail, and the crowd clapped. Perhaps the replacement for that one backstabber of Bernie fears that they could not bear doing that on national television again. Here's the thing, after that first group left, don't you think they're talking to people and telling everybody what really happened in the auditorium? And remember, what you heard was only a chicken scratch of what actually was going on. because they were they edit that just like i told you it's like in congress they edit every moment guys so then a bunch of people go to all that wasn't any knowledge what do you think about all the laughter what well they will laugh that all we were laughing but you must relax but it was just one of your help water near any of that you see how it works you know that i want to watch it and that is that it is in cooper that that's why i'm going to get clap moderator I mean, good lord, talk about sticking a shill in the debate. Well, again, like we said, he's an old CIA. Actually, he's not too old. I don't know if he's as old as I am. He's got naturally graying hair and it's consistently gray like he might have decided. Well, it's halfway, so why not dye it all the way that could be. I know people who have done that in broadcasting. Remember, well, Mr. Phelps. Remember the guy who played Mr. Phelps in Mission Impossible? He was gray most all of his life. First he was blond, then he turned like silver gray. Full head of hair, you always had a full head of hair, but he was gray forever. So when he started to get old and had a few more wrinkles, people didn't notice as much because they were already used to that visage. They were already used to that persona, which is kind of interesting. The thing about it is that the character is CIA. He spooks and kooks just like the rest of them are. CNN had a little more credibility when it first came out, but very quickly started to reel in and demonstrate its contribution to the propaganda element of government. And it's now to the point where it's beyond, I would say, government, so not so much that is, again, the regime slash the internationalists. And they're pumping it left, right, up, and down. And then they're trying to do damage. It's funny how they're trying to do damage control and it's already way too late. Even before this thing with Trump, people already had this attitude about CNN. You know, they're cackling back and forth and lamenting now. Everybody, we've talked about him forever the same way. We've never changed our position on the Communist News Network. Ever. Yeah. It's just that now it's, like we said, what has changed is the level of absolute stupid arrogance. Oh yeah, braggadocious, yeah. I, I, that to me is the greatest blessing, guys, that could possibly happen for us. That gold series on this, it's the best possible thing that could happen. They have signed their own death warrant because, like I said, it's called bravado. Bravado and bravura. Well, the idea is you puff yourself up like this and you hope you can baffle everybody with the BS. But, of course, still you've got to have that arrogance flavor in there, like, you know, you're better than everybody else. Their feces doesn't stink, yours does. Well, what says that more than the FBI director coming out and announcing to you that her feces doesn't stink, yours does? Which is exactly what they did. You just go right ahead. Whatever she's doing, she's doing it to you. I've got to say something real quick. I didn't see this until just now. And I know you might find a good price out there in other places. But it looks oh well, how they okay? They've got some real tree tactical tack light long sleeve shirt real tree These are a really nice shirt really good camouflage pattern eight dollars apiece, but they're only in medium. That's all they have left It's at air rattle calm. It's the real tree commercial pattern and it's in the real tree extra that's X dash TRA and long sleeve full neck and regular, I guess, looks like square bottom with a tuckable shirt and they're $8 a piece which is a pretty darn nice price for the real tree pattern so that's your forte, that's your area of interest, there you go. That's off. Don, can you stick around or you gotta go? I gotta go Mark. Sorry. Well, I'll tell you what, before we go any further guys, why are you dealing with strangers on night vision when Don Betcher is around? I'm gonna ask you to give him a call, please.
