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 home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this the land is a 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. 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 number. You trade it 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, deep footmen of God in jail, harass your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn holds they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children, your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedom 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? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and eat God-given right, and pray to God for freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd 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 fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? The land of the first report. I'm Mark Hernke and I'm Don Betcher. One day, sisters behind the lines in occupied territory is West you're listening to us on our website. Well, on this 28th day of November, year of our Lord 2016, we couldn't say ditto on the rain and they're telling us more is coming and they're supposed to be, we're supposed to get an inch of rain either last night or tonight, I'm not certain, but it's gonna rain some more. It hasn't hurt the mudworks out there very much at all. I'm kind of surprised, I guess, if we have good drainage out there. So this is a good thing. But, you know, I'm only here to witness that on the 28th day of November, 2016. So nothing has collapsed due to an inch of rain, so we're not doing bad, you know, playing in the dirt. But that's a whole different story. We could talk about a number of things, but let's run right into this subject here, Mark. I know you have a number of things you want to cover. I know that. But that bearded fellow down there on that little island down there, croaked. You know, Fidell. Mr. Castro, the guy who supposedly tried out to pitch for the Yankees. I don't know if that's real or legend or what, but Fidel Castro, he's dead. Now, you can look at both sides of that coin. We're seeing masses of people mourning in Cuba there. And we're seeing people jumping up and down in Miami. Now, one of the statements that I found rather odd about this, whole thing that came out of the media. You know how we point out the mistakes of the media and how they tend to trip over their tongue and whatnot sometimes? They were talking, Mark, about the celebrations in Little Havana there in southern Florida, you know, suburb of Miami there. And the radio, or rather the television common, Ktor, I did that on purpose, said that, well, the two and a half million Cubans are celebrating the death of Fidel Castro and their attempt at the population of Cuba. Now I had to scratch my head over that one, Mark, because it's like that reality thing about location, location, location. And good portion of those people that were jumping up and down weren't even born in Cuba. They were born here. So how could they be residents of Cuba? Cuban citizens. I can't figure that one out yet. Part of the population of Cuba, Fidel's dead. And you know that thing about, we've talked about one man many times. We've talked about the difference one man can make in particular places. We've addressed that. But we've also talked about, well, you know, the one man of Ronald Reagan. You've heard me say that, well, If we put, if we voted Mark Kornke in for president, no disrespect, Mark, but you notice, if we voted Mark Kornke in for president, we could be leaning on the rudder, but there would be work to be done even after he was gone. So the one man, we have to point out that power passed from hand to hand in Cuba about, what, most of 10 years ago, Mark? from, oh, Wright the brother took over Wright to another brother, Wright, who I'm told, you know, the media says, and he'll stand there in front of a camera and tell you how he idolizes his brother. I think his name is Jeb Bush Castro. There you go. Perfect. Thank you. That only underscores the thought line. Thank you, Mark. We already had GW Castro. They really tried to do that here, guys. Think about it. Despite the fact there was absolutely no luster to the quote of campaign, if you want to call it that. It was just a given for the Neocons. Well, we got Jeb here. Since Dad, Monarchist 1, and then GW, Monarchist 2, It's only right we should have kind of like a George III when they decide to collapse the country. Isn't that what they really wanted? So we got kind of like a Fidel. Only it's the younger proto version. You know, like the next big Spanish. Yeah, it doesn't have the beard. I mean, although poor, I don't know, that's kind of strange. I know a lot of older people. In fact, several that have beards, I mean even the 90s, they have beards that look like Santa Claus. That's the only thing, because you lose the color. But as far as Fidel goes, it's like, dude, you used to have a pretty hefty beard there, but it just kind of went, it's more like he didn't go bald topside, he went bald frontside. Yeah, kind of thin there. Yeah, so the brother taking over said, eh, the hell with the beard thing, it just doesn't look right. I can't do that. So the brother replacing him for the last, and he's the next to go. I mean, it's not an if, it's just a when. You call him a stylist or a Christianite. Probably a Christian because you know Christian, you know was his buddy at the time exactly Christian remember gained all his notoriety from who? Stalin Yeah, so where do you first see him in in the American media? Oh it but that shoe in hand And and telling us all about what he was gonna do to us right now. What was he planning on doing to us? Oh, we will destroy you Yeah, and then came the or in the middle or this that was prior to the Cuban Missile Crisis But you know there are those historians and those inside the United Nations that would try to tell you that that never happened. That never happened. Even though they tried everything they can to make the video disappear. It's one of those symbolic things with the East, especially the South Eastern Europeans and the Asians. Remember this incident a little while back with the shoe throwing? Yeah. And everybody got really good at that. Whoever the hell those people were, by God, they practiced. Because other than the fact that Bush was fast with his coke, he probably had a good line before he went out in front of the crowd. If it weren't for him being coked up, I don't think he'd have dodged that. Because that guy was that one was you know the shoe assassin with high velocity shoe. Oh hell yeah, it's like that's an impressive throw for an oblong tool. You know what I mean? Think about how irregular that is. Well of course now with Castro he just kind of pulled it off and just kept beating on the bench. He really you know didn't have he didn't plan on throwing anybody he just kept he used that kind of like an improvised gavel like and we will you know bum bum bum bum you know I am in charge we are in command. Well, your shoe is, sir. That's for sure. You've turned the conversation right where I wanted to go when we're talking about Cuba there. Because, you know, Castro held on to that even after... I wonder what he told all of his minions, the people around him. And I even have to... Oh, there could be numerous guesses at what he told the people during the collapse of the Soviet Union. And what he told them is to... Because the Soviet Union quit supporting Cuba. You might remember that. Venezuela stepped in. That's what happened. Now... Viva Las Chavez. Viva Chavez. Yeah. So the communist world got a lot smaller for, you know, Fidel there. I wonder how he explained that to his people and still continued along with his communist ways. But you can do that when you have, you know, great control over a people. Absolute total power. Media. Yeah. So again, if Fidel's dead, we don't have to dwell. The Cubs won the series there, but we don't have to dwell on that either. But again, for the people that are expecting some sudden change there, and all of a sudden the island's going to ride a few feet higher in the ocean and cast a wider wake and just... Wait a minute, they don't do that, do they? So that ain't going to happen. So that's about your expectation for Cuba now. Other than, you know, as one of the parting shots to, you know, an affront to American freedom and American citizens themselves, I wouldn't be surprised to see Obama run down there and be part of the Let's Bury Fidoe celebration. I mean, funeral. I yield to you, Mark. Well I think the interesting thing about this is that, again, you've got this next person. I would admit, let's consider how many ways people have tried to kill Castro. We know that they, God, the number of different ways that stuff was thrown at him, I'm sure, was quite extensive. But amazingly enough, he actually died of quote unquote old age. Two things. A, he actually got to step aside and retire. From a communist perspective, guys, there are very few, if any, actually to be quite honest, the lining of share, they could be counted on one hand. I don't care if it's Stalin, Lenin, Trotsky, but for that matter, even Khrushchev and all the rest, none of them, the only one that probably, in fact the only one I can think of in the communist regime, well there are two. One was called the Old Man, I think it was Magenta. He died. He was part of the original Politburo. Nobody bothered with him because he was like the old communist. He was like the old guy. He doesn't bother anybody. Everybody loves him. They all want him. You don't want to shoot him because they piss everybody off because he's considered to be grandpa, right? The other is one that to me was always fascinating. I brought this up, guys, because you notice they completely stopped talking about it was Molotov. Guys, Molotov died of old age. And if you know who Mr. Molotov was and how wicked and evil that bastard was, then that could only mean that the level of protection around him because blackmail and, you know, Praetorian Guard was massive. Okay? Otherwise, they might die of old age in office, quote-unquote. That just meant somebody probably got tired of their hung-in, and, you know, they really were ricketing along. Kind of like in the Senate here in the U.S. where you have medical beds in their offices in the... capital building. it completely and there is somebody with a vendetta. It's a good thing he has a brother who looks up to him and he loves him so much. Yeah. That was probably the key fact, survival beyond retirement. For as long as it was. Because granted nobody lives forever. How old was he? Look at it. That's pretty good life. Not many people around him lived that long because he killed a lot of people. A lot of people. In so many creative ways you really can't imagine. After all, let's not forget who his buddy was. You see, that's kind of like Hillary to the Hutt and Obama. Good old Che. Yeah, the guy they made the motorcycle movie out of. Yeah, it made him out to be a wanderer and a poet. A wanderer. Yeah, in South America. Causing revolution. Yeah, they didn't tell you that one of his nicknames was Machine Gun Che. Yeah. Because he, well, you see, they did the same thing. Remember the movie Reds? Have you noticed how with Warren Beatty that thing kind of was made to disappear? It's out there guys, dig it up, reds. R-E-D-S, reds. And by the way, what's the thing they tie in? The motorcycle down. It's kind of like communism, it's cool, it's like radical motorcyclism, didn't you know that? Over in communist Russia, while they were visiting, starving to death of you. The Ukrainians, you'll get on war and Beaty was having a great time touring on a motorcycle. I know a whole bunch of fighters and riders, but none of my friends are telling me that. Yeah, that's the farthest point you would find them away from. Anyway, the interesting thing here is that he died of old age in theory. Who knows, maybe somebody did finally stick a knife in him, poisoned him, but he's up there old enough that it's like, no, time probably has finally caught up with him. No matter what happens, it's credible. Yeah, it's credible. So he's probably one of five that I can think of in top communist positions that ascension, you know, first of all, ascension changed, you know, he changed hands effectively to the next person in line and then was able to die of old age. That is very rare in a communist...monarchal regimes are no different. I mean, eventually, step one is somebody usually wants to get you out of the throne. Step two, after they've got you out of the throne, they'll wait a little bit, and the, you know, the art of canley is alive and well, vendetta. And so they then get revenge for all the evil things you did while you were sitting on the throne. In other words, you know, I'm just relaxing and enjoying my rose garden, but, uh, oh, I guess that guy remembered you. Yeah. But it worked really well. Through the head. Hey Mark. Go ahead, caller. He had 20 homes, billions of dollars, 5 wives. All communists are like... This is the running joke. In communist nations in Eastern... Did he repeated like many capitalists wished to? Yeah, exactly. Well, again, see, there's no difference between communism and monarchy. I've argued this, it's a joke. It really is the biggest part. And everybody who pushes it knows what I'm talking about. Because they do know that that's what it is. It's a variation on monarchy. They just want to give it a new name because they can rewash it and throw it back at you. It's what we're a breath away from right now, as they're trying to do here. We've pointed out many times when you see the overview, the high up camera looking down on the Chinese Palette Bureau. Every person there is at least worth 10 or 40. If you're worth, if $40 million is almost what one might call the buy-in for a year. That's the chump chain, yeah. That's the intro. The bigger ones are gazillionaires. Billionaires and over and over, make Donald Trump look like a piker. Interestingly enough, see this is the other thing about Cuba, is that Cuba is not in a void. Again, as I pointed out a million times, don't forget that Mexico deals openly with Cuba every day. That's how the Cubans got into the US. The Cuban intelligence service doesn't come across that 90 miles. That's how a number of divers over the years have got a Cuban passport stamp on their passport. They fly into Mexico, dive in Cozumel, get on a boat or get on a plane and go dive in Cuba, get their passport stamped, get some beautiful pictures, big sharks come home. Back to Mexico City and then back north. Yeah, and that's one of the things, see that's why, example, something is an interesting twist. You know, it was a big thing to get Coca-Cola from Mexico. Well guys, the reason it was a big thing from Mexico is because of sugar from Cuba that was used in the Coca-Cola there. If you've been paying attention and looking at the spottles, You may have noticed that it now listed the inventory depending on where you're buying it from. It's not really worth buying anymore because there's at least no big deal. It isn't a glass bottle. It's a big difference. I mean, it really is better for you, okay? But interestingly enough, you'll notice it's now high fructose corn syrup for a good chunk of it. They have started to sluice that stuff south to push the Cuban market. So originally the reason was a big thing down in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico. Years ago when we went down there it was like, hey you can get real coke here and it tastes like real coke. It tastes like Coca-Cola used to. And it's true. You get a bottle of glass bottles, a 16 ounce bottle of coke down there in Texas, down towards the border. And yes, wow, this is just like what we used to have on the shelf. It doesn't have that flat corn syrup flavor to it. This too has changed as they say. So that means that what's happening is they're pressing the Cuban market because Cuba, that's their big export. It's not the only thing they do. And they are highly agricultural, and they do have a certain amount of industry. Cane sugar has always been notorious for Cuba. And if they couldn't push it north to us, which traditionally they had, then they just pushed it sideways over to Mexico. Now, I don't know if their market was equal. I think it was. I think they got as good of money selling it to Mexico as they did to us. And everybody always shut up about that. We've got an embargo on Cuba. Well, yes we do. That's why I don't see Cuban rum. Where'd that rum come from? Oh, the Caribbean. That is a Caribbean product, guys. As a matter of fact, all of the Caribbean. Cuban rum is much like the Cuban cigar. And the only way, again, how did it get smuggled in? Well, it goes sideways over to Mexico. And although it's not as famous right now because drugs are a more concentrated wealth, rum running from the south was just as popular as rum running from the north back in the day. Think about this. I mean, we don't even talk about it. But years ago, do you think anybody, nobody used to stare at the border. And back when the old booze line situation was going on, certainly they were watching to a degree. But it was a lot more, shall we say, casual and open. It was kind of a discussion. The big drug trade is what changed a lot of it too. The rum running, well, again, the Cubans used to take it across and the Mexicans used to, we're still making their liquor during prohibition. Guess what? It got driven just as easily north as it could be boated across Lake Michigan here, or forgive me, across the Detroit River. across the Detroit River. That's amazing. That's fascinating. It tells you just how much corruption was going on and how big it was. They're still discovering, every once in a while, guys, they discover another line, a whiskey line that was laid in copper line or iron pipe that went under the Detroit River. Now, you go look at how big the Detroit River is. And they actually laid charging lines and they didn't smuggle it by boat. They pumped it for under, on the river bed. in pipes to the warehouse district north of the Renaissance Center. Every once in a while they run into another line. So how many lines were they running? Think about how massive that had to be and then how much work it was to lay that thing back in the day and the 20 away with that. Yeah, how did they do that? Because wouldn't you think somebody noticed what those guys doing out there in the river? Yeah, that's not a telegraph line, right? It's kind of hollow. Yeah, I'd kind of be fascinated to how they did it. It's a very fresh water line under fresh water. Yeah. The only good thing about fresh water, so in reality, it's easy to run and not a risk as far as long-term maintenance. That's why the lines are still intact today. God knows what the age of that booze is that's in those lines if they were to push it from the other end. You know what kind of money is sitting in those lines? Oh, if you would run a solid wire through it and then pull a cork through, you could empty that line. pull a ball through it. Tell you what Don, let's do this because I'm going to step out for just a second. Night vision technology, you have it. Guys, of course the thermal is the big thing right now that we're able to access. It's one of those rules if you have a fire team or a squad, and again we're prepping hard time for what's going on. You need at least one piece of each inside your fire team and ideally four in your squad, two of each. That would be minimal. the green screen watches and the thermal over watches and they validate each other. So, Don, jump in there for a bit and give everybody the information about the webpage. Don't forget you got to do something special with the webpage and then we'll go from there. Go ahead. Well, if you go over to the website, the webpage, that's Y-D-T-O-E dot U-S, you know, Yankee Delta Tango Oscar Echo dot us or Yankee Doodle Textical Optical E-Equipment dot us. Either one will get you there. Y-D-T-O-E dot U-S. That's the quick one. Now, when you get there you'll see a whole bunch of printed information. I'd encourage you to read it. You'll hear a whole bunch of stuff that you've heard over the years and hear comparisons of this to that. But the general broad brush overview. And if you scroll down a bit while you're into the digital and the entry level stuff, it's about 90% of what first generation used to be. There's a couple of gun sights there, those are 308 capable and you can use them in the daytime too. Now if you scroll down a little farther you're into the green screen, you know the dedicated what we truly call now night vision and there's a reason for that. The green screen, because well you use it at night. You can be sitting there waiting for the sun to go down. Is it dark enough yet? Nervous enough? I don't really want to turn it on yet because well it's not good to have a bunch of light going into your night vision device. It's meant for low light performance. So we offer that in third and even fourth generation and we've talked about that fourth generation. You might think, oh it's fourth generation, it's the best, but I can put two gun sites in your mailbox or rather, you know, at your door for the price of one fourth generation gun site, two third generation gun sites. So that's, you know, the cutoff and, you know, right there that's a pretty good example because... Well, the fourth generation, you guys, when it's brand new, wow, it looks like you can almost stick your hand into the picture. Like you could just, you know, walk right into the picture. It's so fine. But one of the things they did to get that extra low-light performance is take off some of the protective film so you get flex in the screen. It almost is if somebody's just... scattering a little bit of pepper onto the screen and that don't go away. And sometimes we strive to practice proper English, but that don't go away. You know what I mean. So, again, the fourth generation, if you're very disciplined, it's much like when they first issued PVS-2s to guys going into Vietnam, you know, they had training about don't point it at a fire, don't look at the moon, don't look at the taillights of things, you know, try to keep it pointed into the dark. V dark, that's what it's meant to do. And then after trying to get all these guys to do this, they find that, well, we can do better. Now the PBS2 didn't have bright source protection or automatic brightness control, but eventually it had bright source protection. The PBS2 had to mount to control the brightness. So you can control the brightness, but it also had bright source protection and brightness control. So the bright source protection, if you looked at a fire, or taillights for any length of time or the moon it would shut itself off to protect itself. The automatic brightness control would control the amount of light that you're looking at. Because, well, with a PVS2 with no B on the end of it, if you look at a fire you would have a lot of light coming out of the other side. But the device would be fried in an instant. So they tried to train that discipline in. It worked to a certain extent, but, you know, It's like don't ever point a gun at somebody you don't want to shoot and still people get shot accidentally or you really think that I have to see what's there and then the fire or the tail lights or the porch lights or whatever come into view. PVS-2s had no defense against that. PVS-2B's did. They had automatic brightness control and bright source protection. Now you wonder why I'm referencing such an old piece but I bring these parameters up in comparison to like green screen versus the daylight, the digital, because you can use the digital in the daytime into the dark. But when it gets pretty dark, you're going to want to turn on that illuminator. It might be dark enough you want to turn on the illuminator, but the second generation is still buzzing along fine and you're identifying targets and you're walking along if that's what you're choosing to do. You know, navigate with a one power. or something close to one power, it's pretty hard to walk along by the time you get up to four or six powers, four being the standard for, you know, a bigger power for a gun sight in green screen. But now again, by the time the daylight sun starts to come up and you're thinking I'm going to turn off the green screen, that's when you can turn the digital back on. If you haven't been using the illuminator, and we've talked about illuminators because when you turn on the illuminator, someone else can see that with a piece of night vision. If they are looking in your direction, if they lower the device, they don't see any white light or any other colored light, they confirm that they're looking at someone that's using an infrared emitter and illuminator. So now it's kind of like walking along to the average person with a flashlight and someone over there can see you, but only it's, you know, elevated to the high-tech wall as he can see you with night vision. So you try to stay away from that illuminator. We've talked about this over the years. But again, as you're ready to shut down that green screen, the digital will work right into the daytime. So each... Now if we move up into the thermal we can talk about the advantages and disadvantages of thermal because that green screen and that digital, that'll read what it says on a billboard. It'll read particular things. Now the thermal will read things if there's enough contrast. Like if I stand real close to the though that pickup truck and I'm about four feet away from it, I can read that F-150 on the side, that big, you know, lettering on the side and whatnot, or lettering on a car, but if I get any distance away from it, or if it's painted on information on the door that's not high contrast, like black to white, so you have a high heat contrast, you're probably not going to read that. But the green screen, if the light is right, I throw that into the mix too because if the light is behind, actually like you're looking at the shadow side of the truck from the moon, you might not read what's on that. Don? Yes. You know, the thermal thing is so, we talked a little bit about this the other day, mounted on the side of a truck. What if I hit a, I got the thermal viewer mounted with a custom bracket on the side of the truck right there by my mirror, facing forward. and I hit a pothole the size of a Volkswagen, what's going to happen to that? Will that viewer, will the shock hurt any of the inner workings of that thing? How shockproof are they? They're not as shockproof like recoil for a 50, but they should survive something like that, although that can create some g's there. I know sometimes gee whiz, you know, no pun intended. You're driving down the road, and even with the air cab and the air seat, you still feel that pothole. And even, you know, if it's mounted on the door there, it's more isolated than the air seat. Right. You know, it's not as isolated, I'm sorry, as, you know, it's more firmly mounted. Right. Or it's going to feel that even more. That's a good question. I'll have to run that one by and I still don't have a price for you on that, but I will soon. Yeah, no, I know. No hurry. It's such a great and interesting concept. to mount that thing outside and get through that fog, man. I mean, when you said that, my eyes just lit up. Because that's a real big deal. I don't understand why more, you know, I mean, you might want to talk to your company about actually building something like that for trucks, man, because that, I guarantee you, you could sell 100 of them overnight. You know, it's so important to have that. I will talk to them, if not today, tomorrow. Yeah. Okay. Again, there's similar devices out there, it's just a matter of bringing them more known to market. They're getting much smaller than the bulbs that used to hang under the nose of the helicopter or even the bigger things that you would see on you. I wonder what is that on the top of a police car if you've ever seen them? Yeah, well, I'm in the business. I'm in the business and I don't see anything out there on any trucks with thermal. I mean, not at nothing. Okay, I'll have some more information for you on that real soon. We've got another caller. I think I recognize that voice. Yes, John. I hadn't thought about how the company might build it. I could build the scanning unit with a separate moniker that could mount inside, like next to the door, and of the scanning unit outside, at weather sealed. Just a suggestion to tell them. Yeah. Thank you. That way the monitor could be inside, kind of like a GPS unit mounted next to the door. Yeah. Good. Wire the door, tape on bed. Yeah. Yeah. That'd be good. Good thought. Thank you. Yeah, well a lot of the GPS units have an outlet for camera screen. Oh, OK. I didn't know that more than the new ones. Yeah. Okay, cool. Yeah, the new ones, yeah. Anyway, great idea. Yeah, most of my thermal right now will adapt to an Android system. A number of, you know, how they're lining up like, you know, either you run with these guys or you run with Apple or you go with, you know, how it is. But that's what my thermal, and that's what the FLIR systems are running with, I'm told. the Apple system if they're plumbing things outside of the device you know like a screen to another place. Right even just an enclosure you know that you could put existing unit into you know that would just make it that much more protected and safe and bolt that thing out of the side of the truck you wouldn't even have to build a new device just build a really cool enclosure. that would even shock absorb things more. I don't know. I mean, it's an idea. Oh yeah, if it were isolated to it in its own right, yeah. I see what you mean. I'm supposed to be talking with the company here in the next little while. I'm hoping to contact them today. And if not today, tomorrow. And I'll have a lot more information on where we can go with this. Yeah, great. Okay, thank you. Now you guys... Again, thank you for the questions. And if you're looking for night vision, if you want to go over to the website, that's ydpoe.us. You'll see gun sites in green screen and gun sites in digital and gun sites in thermal. And if that annoys you, I enjoy saying gun sites. So if you want to see some gun sites or some viewers or some binoculars or gun sites in three different varieties of technology, go over to the website, ydpoe.us. And if you have any questions about anything you see there, like will this gun sight work on my M1 or my FN or will it work on my ArmaLite, my AR-50 or my M82, we can cover those bases, but for the big stuff we're going to have to look at the thermal. So if you have any questions, like the other one is what's the reason, because I run up against this wall and you might not believe me if I say, but I can advertise for less than that and keep my source. You can call me and we can do a deal on the phone because that's not really advertising. That's the way I'm told and that's how we do it. We can reduce the price. You see there at the website, ydpoe.us. If you want to call me, the phone number is 231-796-8458. Again, 231-796-8458. 5'8". If you're looking for night vision, you need to keep that by your side, that phone number. I remember a long time ago there was a parody of the carpet guy selling. It went something like, keep this number, keep it by your side, and someone else did a parody of it and said, get this number, tattoo it on your liver, keep it by your side. So there's the joke for the day, but hey, if you're looking for Night Vision dead serious, I can offer you some gun sites that'll live on your .308 that'll live on top of your .50. They're over at the website, ydtoe.us. And if you want to reduce the price, you know, that's the one thing. Every purchase that has happened on the website that didn't come through me was an attack on the website because it was through three different computers and a credit card that somebody didn't even know someone else had or it was a credit card purely from someone's computer and all of these things have been run to the proper places but it tells me and it's a good register so to speak that's just another reason why because Every purchase that hasn't been a call to me has been an attack on my website. Be it for a big end piece of thermal or a big end goggles or a big end gun sight and green screen. So there have been a number of torpedoes in the water we have avoided them and again I appreciate that you cooperate because that cooperation will help you reduce the price. Again the website ydpoe.us, the phone number? on the phone. Maybe about four or five years ago somebody showed up out here and he had a pretty good sized thermal scope. At that time it was quite pricey because thermal was just coming in. I think he said something like he paid like $10,000 for it. And it was a pretty good sized scope along the lines like ANPVS2 or something like that. He had, there was like a little rubber pipe on the side of the scope and he could put the scope on a tripod. and then lift up there and then he plugged it into his laptop and then you could see the image that what was being shown and he could actually pan the camera left and right and everything like that. And so we know now that that technology does exist already and maybe for shock absorbing there's an old deal of about instead of bolting metal to metal, that what you do, you take an old inner tube and cut some squares out like postage stamp sizes out of the and then instead of bolting the metal you put the... and that'll help. And I have... this is where the question... Now I did hear it, if I heard you correctly the other day, you had said that thermal won't go through glass? Almost all of your handheld stuff, cooled thermal will look through glass. If it's a cooled piece, but uncooled thermal won't look through glass. Handheld stuff? Okay. When we were in Desert Storm, and that's when they were just transitioning from the old ANTVS7s and things like that, and now you see them quite a bit. All the guys over in Iraq and Afghanistan, they got that little flat piece of metal in front of their helmet, and then there's this little tiny, like the size of miniature binocular, but those were just coming in back, and it was basic. that were wearing them. And we had people flying Hueys that didn't have any X-Screens on their dashboards or anything like that. And that's how they were flying. And now maybe it's something, is there a difference? It's the difference between if it's a cool or a non-cool. High technology too. But again, did that have a cable that plugged into it? No, sir. While he was sitting in the seat. That was freestanding equipment. It was just like that flat piece of metal on the front of the helmet that was clamped down and you could swing it up out of the way. But the only thing that was on it was like a little cord, a little piece of miniature riser cord that would go around their neck as like a neck strap in case it came unsnapped and wouldn't fall down to the floor of the cabin. But other than that, it was all completely contained. That's just big dollars. That's just throwing dollars at dinky little parts. Talked about that as technology. You know like like how many B-2s are there and how many of those you know there's probably about you know less than a thousand of those that exist if you think about the numbers that are needed and and how many Let's let's do this how many helicopters can we put in the air at any given time all of the fleet how many? Yeah, so again, you know that there's probably enough for each crew, right? So there's your numbers right there and that's spreading it and there's probably enough for that percent reserve that Mark talks about. And if you move it over, well, there's other people that fly with them too. There's a gazillion, you know, there's an exaggeration there, but there's a whole lot of money thrown at technology that can be that light and look through glass. Yes, absolutely. It seems to me one of the pilots said they'll drop that thing. It's worth about $5,000, but that was 25 years ago and now they have them. cheap enough that they can basically issue them to the ground soldiers. to always be a misnomer on the concept, so like you've touched on very well about the difference between IR and green screen and flash. There was an instance that it happened, fly through, driven down to the area and got outside and then two Apache helicopters came along and one peeled left and one peeled right and they were, I mean, it was completely dark at night, no moon. and there were no lights on the helicopter. And then one was offset, so one would come in in a gun run, if you will. And right as he got a couple hundred yards before where we were, it kind of didn't turn on and off his landing lights, but there was a slight flicker, a yellowish type of light emitted from the helicopter, and then he'd peel off. And then about 10 seconds later, then the next one would come in. do the same thing and they can. One of the people that was there, he had pulled out his flashlight and he was flashing it down towards the ground and he had said, oh, because you see, I don't want to shine it up at the pilot because I didn't want to blind him. I had to explain that flying on thermal, your flashlight emits no heat. You are emitting light. with your flashlight but because there is no heat coming off they cannot your flashlight and there is no problem of you quote-unquote blinding the pilot of course they look they're caught in the headlight look on their face and you know that's the same thing we have some other place doing some night refuels and the Apaches were coming in halyon safety flight check off standing there with this watch enough I'm in and I pulled out my pocket camera and was taking photography of these helicopters and somebody turned around and said, don't do that, you're going to blind the pilots. And I told them the same thing. I said, you know, this flash emits no light and they're flying on thermal and the officer and he's like, you're on it. Go ahead, do whatever you want to do. Yep. I've talked that many times as far as the consistency of the range of thermal won't be affected by whether you've got a full moon or no moon. And the green screen, that's the limiter there, you guys. If you own a piece of green screen, you know the difference. And this is why I encourage you, when you purchase, take it out every night for a month. You're gonna see that moon cycle, a full moon and no moon. And you'll become familiar with what your equipment, its limitations, what it will do in the high and the low light. You'll become familiar with what we call hard shadows in a full moon that the green screen won't look into. Because, well, it adjusts much like the human eye. It adjusts to the brightest source. There goes that bright source protection again in automatic brightness control. It adjusts to the brightest objects in its field of view, the brightest light source in its field of view. If there are shadows there, you're not going to see into the shadows. But if you've got that man with a thermal standing next to you, he's looking into the shadow. But he's in... Thermals come a long way. In fact, ATM just about three months ago, we talked about it when it happened, maybe two months ago, if you own a Thorin, you haven't downloaded the next upgrade for your Thor, well, you ought to do that because it'll increase the fineness of your picture by about one month. Did you know that now when you use this, an ATM is committed to this Thor body? This is going to be like, this is going to be like an M1 in a number of years. This is going to be like, you know, the old tooth. but it will still be updated. This is one of the things, you know, I'm stubborn in a lot of ways. I hate computers. And I've told you that, but I'm communicating to you on through a computer. So I can't say I hate it and I can't say I have no use for it. But you know, computers are moving into the gun world to a great extent into big end gunsights. There's a gun site out there for about $12,000. It will compute the lead for you. Has anybody been shot? busted in with a car and then started slashing people with a butcher's knife. The only shots fired was from the police officers who showed up on the scene to take the guy out. To shoot him, yeah, right. And they're still... They're still billing it as a mass shooting incident down here. Yeah. Let's point out that one of the... It's more of a mass-niping. This is like watching Channel 7 news back in the 80s. when they would put a gun in the background and three people knifed at a party store. You know what I mean? We've talked about this for years. This is where out of desperation, it's a mess. Okay, he was using a... Well, first of all, he used two unique weapons. Number one, we've told you before, the car or vehicle is, shall we say, a very effective weapon. Connecting energy. Yeah. And then, quiet enough, the idea is hacking and slashing rules with a butcher knife. It could be a katana, it could be a short sword. I mean, come on, you can go to Bud, Kate, and buy whatever you want. Of course you can also go to the dollar store and get a pretty decent butcher knife. Take your pick about directions there. Know what I mean? So, I mean, not a fancy one. For a dollar, a dollar tree. Hey, at least you got edge weapons right there handy. Always remember, if you're looking for something to grab real quick, head for the dollar store. It's right there in front of you, sir. Head in there, go to the middle aisle. Yep, on the left hand side. Look at all those knives. At least you got a sharp pointing object to work with. In this case, it sounds like he brought his own, didn't he? You know it's another ragged Somali. Yeah, that's the thing. Well, you know why? I haven't seen anything to confirm who the person is and whenever they do that, that tells you typically it's a minority. In other words, otherwise it would be Jeff, Bob, Willy Walk. He would even have his middle name. And that white evil Caucasian. The thing that had me laughing about it is I was just talking to a couple of people down here about, next thing you're going to hear about was a drive-by knifing. I had no idea what this was until I sat down. Randy called me about it and said there was a shooting event. And I sat down during this program and I read the article. Guys, this was a drive-by knifing. I know. I thought I'd let everything come up. Really was. It's solidified. Remember guys 14 people hit only one of them was the guy they were shooting at the other ones were just the poor bastards who were nearby right another copy mass shooting question I have to ask is yeah they've already said what the guy's name is and I don't call it recall Abdul somebody or other from the local radio a yes is this this guy was supposed where did he get the tuition money to go to Ohio version he it ain't cheap plus your tax dollars Well, that's the problem with this. Again, it's like what we saw years ago with the Chinese. Give me more audio. College education instead of the party store or gas station. Right. I have a quick question. Jump in there. I'm on your site here on the ATL. Yes. It has an inclinometer. You look at the top, you look at the bottom, you touch the button and it'll give you a readout. You have to go through it. It doesn't happen automatically. It's not exactly like the Fox fighter that Clint Eastwood flew out of Russia. You have to touch the buttons and you have to do some other things, but it will range for you. It will record for you. It will record your voice while if you're talking as whatever is happening in front of you. Or it will record their voice which might be to your advantage. There are a number of big end gun sites you guys that have computers in them but even the X sites will record for you. They'll record your voice, they'll range for you even the entry level. I do believe that. I'm pretty certain too. That's bragging rights. Thank you. Good question because again, you guys I don't want this to seem like a night vision commercial. Man, there's strides forward and the technology that's being brought in, it's i can't say i hate technology you've heard me say that before but man i some of this stuff is way cool we are again remember that if you got any questions you can call down to but before we're gonna further we're gonna close this our don't use the ground you gotta go to cram mark thank you god bless their of the republic the new world order we shall prevail it is a gentleman the empire's on the run but we are on the march both day and night throughout will be a couple that the meanwhile don take a cell with our information now people get old of Well, look at the page and get a hold of you, please. Hey, if you go over to the page, that's Y-D-T-O-E dot U-S, you can scroll up and down and see gun sites, and if you have any questions about the gun sites, you see there, give me a call. Or if what's the price of this gun site, give me a call. My number is two, three, one, seven, nine, six. I have eight, again, two, three, one, seven, nine, six. We all need to prepare ourselves. You might have the food, water, gold and silver, but ask yourself, are you truly prepared?
