His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat and, speaking low to me, said, we've fought a revolution here, our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free, 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 this. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life 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 can burn down churches and seize the family farm. And keep our country, keep men of God in jail, harass your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear? Arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great republic and eat God's given right and pray to God, I'm bringing Christ. As I awoke he vanished in the mist from which words were true. But we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God's given right, we only watch in tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. He stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep. What would be your answer? He called out from the grave. I ended the... California has three dollar bills. Yeah, they want to leave. But you know what's really funny, aren't they the ones that are also pissing and moaning and made up this whole story? They're part of what made up the story about Russians are the problem. Ones who are leaving San Francisco. And that when the time comes. It's opened up an operation of all places in Moscow, guys. These are the people who are complaining about the Russians? Embassy in... Oh, this is part of that many tiers of bizarreness. And I mean tiers of lying as in tiers of stuff. amazing. Well we don't have a problem. We want to boot California, the name California, out of the country. And we've got Jefferson, the great state of Jefferson. We need to change the flag. Everybody's happy. We can encapsulate Los Angeles and San Fakcisco. We're not going to give them San Diego. Into that, all of our good people. Come on out, because I know this guy's listening. They even call in from the LA area, from around the Ocon groups of San Fakcisco. And you guys are going to have to leave. But that's not a big deal. We will be able to help you. You can come out with your resources, leave them behind, and we put and we keep them in the side there and then we go over to Minneapolis, St. Paul, grab a bunch of the turds there and throw them over the fence. From a bunch of dribble down there going on, the most California Gators in California. Tacoma, big chunk of the turds there, either need to be pushed into the Pacific with a rock or they need to be dragged down and thrown in San Diego, San Francisco. It needs to happen and we understand it, but Austin gets to the middle. That's a three breath fall. Hard right. Yeah. Oh, if you've ever got to tell you what, right now over the Mississippi River guys, go to nowhere off the bridges because of the poor maintenance in St. Louis. I need to take pictures of them. And anybody out there listening right now, pictures and show everybody those like 20 story and 10 story right now over the river. All you got to do is just route it. You just make a lot of it better make sure there's a robot or else you know again don't tell the drill you can reprogram their GPS's yeah Turn right now Turn right 100 yards. Yeah, all right. It's time to turn Marla. Okay increase speed Yeah, yeah, I think somewhere right yeah, you got something so worried make sure you get that showing going the other ways They'll start piling up down there even if they're hitting the water and you know what's funny that just happened to us else you were driving with and their Tom Tom wasn't updated. Turn right now, turn right. That's what we just described. You know, there's a lot of things that's unbelievable but for somebody in a situation like that, listening to a a piece of electronic equipment instructing them what to do. Guiding them in their dome. Right. Well, what was that guy up in New York, man? He ended up in some parks and we're driving down bicycle trails with a semi man. Are you kidding me? He was like surfing, dudes. And everybody got right out of the way. Right. We have the same thing happening. Okay. We've got a, uh, and Don knows, cause down the street here, we have this done by the, you know, the reason it was put in whose mansion? was mentioned overlooks. He was the guest what's called Dexter. He was Judge Dexter. One woman went over the train tracks and the horse panicked and wouldn't move it like in a steam train ran the woman over with her carriage and killed her. The judge decided he wasn't going to have that happen ever. He paid to have this thing put in little carriages to go side by side. Probably two models. Beautiful days are OK. Read about every couple hours here. Now we have a semi truck go by. I see guys we don't have these nice neat. We've got our And then once you're in that slot, there's no place to go, so traffic starts to back up. Four, and then three. It's only got like an only one-inch overcut, too much in medicine. He's listening to that indicator, and boy, he'll hit that at about 45 miles an hour. The average cut of a big box nowadays, he'll make it about a quarter of the way down his box before the truck stops. They probably cut the stator Peter built and stuff that are out there. You gotta remember, it's kind of like two train tracks. and then some. The thing is, they kind of get wedged in there real good and it doesn't want to come back out. You're out of the tires. Yeah, and even then it's like pulling and shucking and bending. Everything always gets exacerbated, but every so many hours or at least every other day, depends on how busy they are. When his land navigator told him this is the truth, and to be quite honest, he was probably following the correct instructions. You're not for that stinking bridge. That's where common sense is required. Well, he will never do it again because I know you and I both know I mean guys anybody's a driver It's amazing what kind of a memory you get after a while. It's like you're every old country's your backyard Well, it goes over to common sense too because you didn't put any height stickers on the truck feet eight inches or anything So you couldn't match appearance on the bridge. That was his argument. What this thing is not going to fit You need a minimum of 14 feet because all trailers, you know stacks everything that's up in the air is 13.6, that's the limit. Wait a minute, that's not true because when I watch these trucks go through, they're all of a sudden all 11. Yeah, mandatory reduction. You know what, let me share this with you once. I was out in California, I was trying to get back into a dock and it was really, really, really, seriously difficult. And the trailers were so close together, man, I mean to tell you. It required that I get out of the truck, walk back there, and do a visual of what I'm doing here as this guy was standing on the dock watching me do everything that I did. And this went on for a few minutes. And I'm twisting and turning. And all it would take is this guy to lift his arm and say, you're OK, come on back. Something along those lines. So anyway, I'm out there for at least 10 minutes twisting and turning trying to get this trailer into this dock. And I literally had about four inches on each side. That's how much clearance I had. And when I got to the point where I could open the trailer doors, I pull it straight out of course and I go back here and open the doors. And I walked up to the dock. I said, do you work here? He says, yes. I said, I don't know, man. You look like you have at least a college education. He said, yeah. I said, well, I just wondered how stupid somebody had to be to stand there and watch somebody back into another trailer without saying something. Yeah, I never did touch the other trailer. But I couldn't believe this guy couldn't make a motion, you know, like, you're okay or something. It'd be better for me to keep it jumping in and out of the truck. Thank God you weren't drowning, Joe. He didn't talk to me anymore. I was a stupidity. Anyway. just something that came to mind. And for little bridges, you know, there's even some they have, you know, it would be like hanging on a chain. It'll be a warning guard. And if you felt that chain, you know, of course, it's going to swing into the air, you know, just like a and what you should hear is a big bang. I've watched some film footage, man, that didn't play a role in anything except damage before you got to the bridge. like lighting the fuse. computer technicians you know, big bucks blah blah blah and then they flood the market with big bucks computer technicians and then nobody gets paid anything because there's so many out there they don't need anymore. Well we need nurses, RN nurses, you go to school, go to college and then they flood the market with that. Well when it came to the trucking industry you had things like JB Hunt, Snyder and a few others that they were sending people to something that never existed was truck driving schools. And believe me, man, that's when the proverbial fit hit the shan on the highways, man, because it was terrible. I mean, it was so bad, in fact, if you can believe this. There was an accident outside of Madison, Wisconsin one afternoon. where this guy, he graduated from truck driving school, you know, two or three months before, whatever. And he came up on a construction site at, you know, at a high rate of speeds. And of course the lanes narrowed down and everybody got lined up. And he realized that he was going too fast and couldn't stop because the vehicles were stopping. Unfortunately, it's a sad situation, but he ended up running over a car with a family in it and ended up out in the media. Well, when they came down to investigate, this is the kind of stuff that government produces, my friends. When they came down to investigate, he explained to the guy at the newspaper, that he literally, the instruction that he received at his truck driving school was that if he were to see that he was going to have an unavoidable accident, that the sleeper was the safest place to be in the sleeper. So what happened here is when he seemed that he could not avoid hitting that car, he unfastened his seat belt and climbed back in the sleeper while that truck freewheeled right over the top. There was two or three kids, a wife. The only one that survived was the father. And the truck came to a stop out in the median. But he actually told the newspaper that he was instructed, and I'll tell you right now, man, the sleeper is not the safest place because in a major accident, that's the first thing that comes off, man, because it's only held in four spots. It's just a box sitting on a couple of bolts and that comes off. That is the kind of production, if you will, I could sit here and go on for hours about all the things that started taking place in the trucking industry after the government got involved with their government's, you know, sub sedation and, you know, they like in JB Hunt's case, they paid for, you know, like on weekends, they pay for half the fuel, they pay for the driver, they pay all this. These people could go out and afford to haul freight for 50 cents a mile because they're being compensated over on the other side for the fuel and the cost of the driver and all that. So, you know, how could the American trucker compete against 50 cents a mile? That's not even enough in most cases to pay for the fuel that you're going to be burning to wherever you go just to keep the truck running. Yeah. And it used to be that they'd say something like, well, at least it pays for your fuel. Oh, well, let me see if I got this right. I'm out here to pay for fuel that benefits other people and doesn't benefit me in any way, shape or form. I'm going to stay busy all weekend. Man, it's stupid. But anyway, that's some of the results of government involvement with employees. And I know you guys have heard me say many times, man, do it for yourself. getting a job. There's nobody out there offering, you know, people would want, oh, we're losing all our jobs. So the industry is moving out or the corporations, really, we need those corporations to leave this country and give the entrepreneurs, the American people the opportunity to throw the chains off our backs with all the restrictions and fees and everything. Just trying to open up a little mom and pop store. Yeah. And that's the riches of America, our own production. Not going to work for some factory and producing. Well, you know, we talked about it in recent times. Mass production, production is so high right now that you can produce a month's worth of goods in less than a week because of all the machinery. Where's all the money going? Well, let's not know you're over here getting minimum wage. You're getting minimum wage while these corporations are making money hand over fist. That's the money that America needs to do herself. Anyway, I'm on a roll there and I did. It's just going... Well, let's continue that in an ever so slightly different direction. You know, they couldn't. Basically, Obama said it's something from the past. It's an antiquated system. It's with the city. The people's interest. Now everybody wants... You guys, I walked into the... So I had to move some earth here. So I walked in there and lo and behold I find out that the trailer alone with the vice that's going to go on the trailer weighs six, so 8,000 pounds there to talk with the heart. So these took a moment and took this device over here trying to arrange getting it back. And I'm talking with the guy behind the counter, the guy's a cook. Well, maybe I can get Adam, a friend, to get back tonight. I said, maybe you know him. And I mentioned his last name. And yeah, I went to school with him. Now this fellow here, And now here he is running his own business, a rental place. You can rent everything from a torpedo, all the way up to a big back hole. And everything in between almost. And his schoolmate that I've referenced, he's over there, automotive repair shop. Cars are lined up together. He can't, he's so busy. But the point here is, Don can ramble and ramble, but point here is, in the cities, you can struggle and maybe you can find a job in the country You kind of have to make your own job. It can be a pretty good job if you're good at it. This goes over to the other point that you were making. If you find something that you love that you're good at, steep in it like a bag of tea. Folk it up. Do it to the best of your ability. Be a good, that's all you are. There are so many things this country is missing. And it's all been crushed by corporations. Yeah. Everybody going to, you know, money is the, uh, what everybody is running to, Oh, I'm getting good, good deal at Walmart or Kmart or Target or what, Oh, they got a good deal. Oh, when I moved here 20 years ago, now show two mom and pop stars by the Myers and the Walmart. Right. One of them had been here since the operator was a young man come back from the cold, reen war. you out there listening let me tell you this if you have any kind of skill or love for something I don't know maybe you like to fix vacuum cleaners or something it doesn't matter it doesn't matter whatever you can do you know usually people start off with some I don't know like like in the garage here you know I get people come from everywhere to have us do stuff on older vehicles because we're most familiar with older vehicles. I'm not going to try to get out and compete with the newer vehicles because you can't. They're all computerized and you have softwares and programming. I got a car sitting back here. There's nothing wrong with the car. It just won't start. And the reason it won't start is because the anti-step software engaged and it's a done deal. the car will never run again. I call the manufacturer, the dealer, and they'll tell you, oh, we'll give you a thousand dollar trade-in if you want to get another one, but there's no fixing it. There's no changing the computer. You want another one of those? Yeah, right. As a matter of fact, there is another one. It's about seven or eight miles from here that did the same thing this one did. And he got the same answer. We'll give you a thousand dollar trade-in on that. So, you know, Common says, this is where Common says to play a role. You know, carbureted, you know, everybody's, oh, it's fuel mileage, man, it needs a fuel mileage. Well, I'm not gonna argue with that fact. Everybody would like to have good fuel mileage, but would you rather spend $300 on a little electronic component because your car won't run or be able to buy a $20 fuel pump and then start comparing your dollars towards parts and see if that fuel mileage is gaining you anything at all. while this course of your running your new vehicle takes place. Truly, if you are able to functions and have common sense and can read all of those things and have a lousy carburetor and consider necessary carburetor, I'm going to rebuild this carburetor and getting that done. That is how you take things back into your control. You have control over it. You want control over your life. You have to buy things that you can control. Electronically, whatever cars, you have no control over. Nothing whatsoever. If you bought a car today, all computerized and everything, and five years from now, they designed that software and that car just to start creating problems. You are forced to come and deal with their computer BS. On the other hand, if you just had some older vehicle and I'm saying 1987 and down, you will not be held by the throat in your transportation requirements because they have no control over it. You have the control. All you need is a little bit of understanding. I know lots of people that, everybody knows how to work on the old stuff. Everybody's battling with the new stuff because it's untouchable. Real quick on that note too, see there's two paths with that pre, you know, the 80s and 70s vehicles, two paths to go. Run with the part to go back one step farther because typically if it's the earlier engine packs, the 351s, the 350s, the 302s. But it's still being used today. But the parts are all available to switch back, friendly, easier to do maintenance on, to change out. Example, sitting here brand new on the bottom, is I made sure I double sealed like the seals I might still have to models and the electronic fuel tanks instead of the in the first models it's a cover plate for a pump used to go yeah it's still there guys everything though there the blocks are your basics are still the same you can take a new engine that has pistons and cams and crankshafts and off it's the same one as they're putting in the new ones only they're like Marcus saying they're covering up the holes and putting a different intake on it you can pull all that stuff off and start over and you still got it For the current, how you can hold the cool injection. There's another one right there. The line here is if you're going to replace the carburetor, distributor too, because that's run by a aforementioned name brand, there is a front cover that will allow you, the timing cover, cam chain, that will allow you to install a distributor there. And then you could go back to that primitive system known as point and condenser. That nobody has control over. Right, but you. And for the other guys, we're going to bottom the outbreak. John, take us out, sir. Hey, just dwell on that problem. Hey, you guys, if you want to see in the dark, go, I should steal that from you, Joe. Go website, ydtoe.us, and look at parts. And if you want to reduce the price, give me a call. My number is 23179. Your sponsor's number, you know how it works. You should write them down.

Silver has long been used throughout history as a way to disinfect and prolong the freshness of water and food, as well as utilize for its beneficial healing and anti-disease properties. From the Greeks, the Romans, and the Phoenicians to the Middle Ages, from the first settlers in America to its preventative use against infection during World War I, silver was always known for its health benefits. Hippocrates wrote extensively about the healing power of silver, and in the 1920s, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the use of silver solutions as antibacterial agents. So what happened? Why aren't you hearing about silver these days? For those seeking your alternative to the big pharma products and their side effects, International Health has what you've been looking for. Super Silver is an engineered silver nanoparticle solution created using the unique and patented silver technology process of International Health's biotech labs.

How can you say Merry Christmas in the Hawaiian? I just had that this morning. Oh, come on. Oh, I can't get it to you fast enough. We heard it the other day. Actually, I just played it. I played it this morning here. Hold on a second here. I got the little drummer boy queued up. As a matter of fact, everything they're doing is from Karen Carpenter this morning. What was the last time you heard it? Oh, hey. I forgot. We got a caller on the line. What do we have? We got George and Texas there. Sorry about that. George flipped away. Hello George. You didn't hear me? I had to take a stop. Yeah, now we can hear you. Alright, you know the thing is Merry Christmas. I don't care how many people you offended saying that joke. I'm here to offend everybody. Well, you know, talking about the cars, I know like Volkswagen and some of the car makers. You know, even if you replace the battery on your car, It's more like, well shut off the engine until you get a dealer, a battery at the dealership which is loaded. You know the one I like most is the one you have to take the inner fender well apart and dig up in there and get this little, you know, battery, looks like a little motorcycle battery, those are really impressive. Also too, you know, on my car, you know, the alternator is down at the bottom, which you gotta take the CV axle off, and the starter, take the alternator off. Good God. What kind of car is that? you deserve that man you should have bought American. Wait a minute isn't that killed in action? K.I.A? We always joke about that because we go by the Kia dealership all the time and it's like yeah they're a deal little cars. They really are. First of all they weren't thinking about a military market right? Just remember the good deal that you got. You're not driving one of those are you? Well think about it man. I remember when they first broke here in northern Michigan you could buy a Kia and get a Kia free. Honestly You could. They use that for about a year and a half. Just to break the mark. The American television industry and then makes an automotive. Kind of like this, sign this audio today. For sale, parents buy one, get one free. What about, you know, I thought now you could probably get a Hugo for free now. You can't hardly find him under a roof. Oh, you know, they're gonna make a Hugo station wagon. They're gonna call it off the bridge. But you know the thing is, once communism balls in Cuba, I'm going to go buy one of them cars from the people. You know, because those engines, I mean those 57 Chevy's, I mean I'd gladly take that, trade that for my, trade my Kia for that. Well there is a culture, believe it or not, there's a whole culture out there of people resurrecting old vehicles. 5'5", 55, 56, 57 Chevy's. Every one of them with a different look. Did you know that? It was funny because in 57, one of the guys used to go to school with the county and walk home. It was uphill both ways. Actually, it was a nice walk, you know, a couple miles. But anyway, the other day, he probably had six different motors in it while I knew him. Because it was a Chevy. And a friend of mine had a TGA5, same thing. In 57, you had so much room you could drop anything under the hood. Anything if it was a Chevy engine you could make it work and he did you know what we do all that We did that at the shop right here in town and at school. We did an auto shop I do that today right in we had lifts the whole nine yards without an engine in about Oh eight hours, you know non-stop if you really worked on it and they'd let you come in on Saturdays and open the auto shop on Saturday We could come in and they paid a million dollars for the auto shop and then shut it down They did and they had it for like maybe open for three years initially the was expanded. It was like literally going to a new technology and of course it all got ripped off by this gangster. Well if I was going to make a point, the only point I would make is quit buying this electronics junk. Yeah, you might be getting 30 miles to the gallon but when it gets to the other end of the spectrum, man, you'll pay all that back for maintenance. Joe, you know the thing is, I was sitting there thinking about, you know, what we don't need computerized. Like I said, we don't need computerized refrigerators. We don't need computerized voting, Joe. We don't need computerized self-driving cars. No, because... Well, that's how they're... See, that's how they're stealing the fruits of your labor. That's how they're doing it. They are producing a throwaway society. They're well into the making of it all. and you are going to replace this, I don't know if it's a freezer or a car, if it has any sort of electronics, computerized, whatever, I know they look really cool, or they do some cool stuff, but you, the wealth of the country is being vacuumed out by doing that. because they don't want you to be able to repair your refrigerator, your toaster, your vacuum cleaner, your car, your television or anything else. That's why you don't see any repair shops. It's all throw away. And they designed it. They know exactly how long that vehicle is going to last. I'll tell you straight up. Today, your vehicle is good for about 200,000 and then you need to get rid of it because it's going to start coming unglued. And the gas mileage, if you were to, you know, people have, and they know this, people have a love for the automobile. They do. It's a given. Just like back in the days of old, people have that love for their horses and carriage. Their e-book transportation. Yeah. But today, They are producing a treadmill product that you have to, you can drive from unit there and then you have to throw it away and buy another one. Things that used to last 10, 15, 20 years, now today last five or six and then you've got to go buy a new one. This is their creation. there is no longevity being produced anywhere. So if people in America would start, let's say we have a guy that understands our refrigeration or what have you, anything about mechanics, whatever, and started putting the pieces together and selling those things with some longevity, knowing what it requires and what it needs and getting rid of the electronics, we could get off this treadmill. We could get away from the throwaway society. But that's another thing that these corporations have done to the world. Not just to America, they've done it to the world. These greedy bastards want your money and they're going to tell you how long it's going to last and then you'll have to buy another one. Well, Joe, you know, speaking about, you know, computerized stuff, and you know, China junk up, how many coffee makers have you probably went through in five years? Well, I'd like to answer that question, but I don't drink coffee. Because you know coffee makers don't last that long if I last about six or eight months, and you got to get a new one Yeah, well there you go that that's what I'm saying. You know what what happened to the old? Curculator the regulator you know you just set it on there put coffee in it well You were lifetime if you don't drop it 30 years from now. It's the one with the black bottom on it and You know that's a great coffee maker. Yeah, I still have mine I just bought one the other day. Well while we're on the subject, let's delve a little deeper. How about the Volkswagen? You mentioned, somebody mentioned Volkswagen. How about the Volkswagen scandal? This is that long ago. You know, the clean laughed at for years. Clean diesel. Ha ha ha. Clean diesel. And would have you believe it. And computers believe it. Completely, yeah. It was complete fabrication because they controlled the software. That's it. Yeah. So, you know, as long as people keep... And that's where, again, California and all these other idiots went right along with it. Because after all, they're bobbleheads. It's just another battle for you to get yourself involved in. Understand the circumstances and your surroundings. It's just like putting up Patriot Radio, doing your part. Maybe you're not involved in banking anymore. Maybe you went, I don't know, resurrected a 1968 Chevy. This is all part of the battle. It's all trying to stay out of what they have produced. This is what they want you to do. And as long as you keep participating for every nickel, dime, dollar, whatever you spend on their junk, you can't complain, man. You can't complain because every dollar, nickel, dime, whatever you spend on it is in support of what they're producing. So the idea is, you know, we can sit here today and say, uh, buy American. And we used to say that, right? Buy American, but the American resources are so slim at this point. They're very hard to find. And then when you do find them, they're a little bit more than that. Good deal that you could get down there at Walmart. It has come to such a point that a foreign manufacturer building trucks here. Which is BS. It's the, uh, it gets almost all of its aluminum castings out of Mexico and transaxle. much like Walmart. If I can buy a thousand of these fasteners that I'm going to need to build these for $10, I'm going to... What they'll do, and this is what's funny how they play the game, because we're in Detroit, you know, we're in the auto industry's pub and the way it played out. What they would do is they would let the suppliers compete like that to the point where it was almost like, well it was just like what happened with China. China will offer stuff at low cost and take a bite period of time until they run their competitors into the ground. they ratchet the price back up. And they did the same thing. They would brag. We had three companies here that did faster. Like I said, screws. Nutz bolts and screws, guys. Screw machines are American made. These were World War II production machines, all cranking stuff out left and right. And they would go back and forth and offer them this contract like General Motors would. And then they'd tell them, well, yeah, it's this prospective six years. And they would get them to sometimes you have to have special, you know, you make something with threaded stock, but they're a fixture, they're not a nut and bolt. They developed how to do it, they made them figure out how to do it, and then what they would do is they also have priority on the design, and for prior to, for prior to control over the technology and the copyright, they let the company do the work with a two year contract and an open year for beyond that. Guess what, they never got that for. They did all the research and all the development and did all the work and then GM would everything sideways to another bidder, he's taken out of the country, had an American company into the ground. And they would do that guys, over and over and over and over again. It's like the GM engineers are actually Ford engineers who are actually Chrysler engineers. Guy I used to ride with all the time, he used to do a lot of things throughout the road, drove a lot of miles. His dad was in, of course he was in the military, automotive engineering. Everybody said, well he's a GM here. Yeah, and he was a Ford engineer two years ago, and before that he was a Chrysler. That's why these cars always change out and they seem to look the same. Why is it that car from that year looks the same as those cars from that year? Because the whole group would get fired or they'd lay them off. Oh, as an example, you know that classic car that some people say is one of the most beautiful cars ever drawn on a window Corvette? Drawn up by a man named Larry Shindoa. Larry Shindoa. Did you know he also drew up the 1970... iconic car nineteen sixty three another iconic item i shouldn't use that word nineteen seventy mustang for staying freaks nineteen seventy is it video that's very soon we'll go through what both of those cars designed them both from nothing but you know it's kind of funny to must that today's mustang in a dark charger don't look too much different depending on the year or for that matter here's a fun one look at the nineteen uh... or to the forgive me the two thousand three I've got one. Okay, I've got a newer truck actually, a new 2001-2002. If you look at that, and then look at a Dodge Dakota from 1992, one of those. Limsite, you know what I did? A couple times I joked, I said, yeah, there's my small Chevy and there's my big Chevy. That one says Dodge. But from a distance, the silhouette, the lines, even what I like to call the mean look front end lights are the same. In contrast, the other Silverados have the flat line, but if you notice you've got head lighting. One on the front has the flat line. If you look at it, look at the 92 and the 89 Dodge Dakotas. Guys, it looks like it should be part of the Chevy line. It's like, wow, that must have been the little version for that year. Another example, if I say Shelby, what do you think of? What's that? What did Shelby do with the way? When those vipers were being made, we'd have 50, 60 of them driving by the front yard here every couple days. And Ford still passed by, so what about the new Tesla cars? We have a ton of them here, and they even have the Tesla accommodation points, like the Meyers, Shiptures here. Not all of them, but it's around Ann Arbor. And over Michigan, there's a lot of the Tesla fleet cars out there. This city, because we have the University of Michigan, back when they did the four U of M, like about, I think, 100 of them. 90 of them back almost right away. The biggest problem with about this, warranty and liability, they have to replace battery rack. I know this because people are doing the maintenance on them. The Tesla car is a little different design. Liability and warranty. Three cells go out, change out the battery, which by the way, if you're smart, you'd be a guy investing in those battery packs, covering them and then rebuilding them and offering them down the road when they stop making them. Right. Because they're not regular. In fact, what they the minivan version. You see that whole front to rear from the front way to the back wheel well. You get it up on the hoist, you have to have a special fixture and then they drop the back, slide it sideways out. If any three cells out of hundreds, I think there's a hundred and some, I gotta double check the number on that, but who cares? It's like a hundred and some cells, but each of those individual battery packs has to be pulled out. Here's the interesting thing, initially they didn't want anybody to get a hold of these, so they were destroying them. As a rebuilding them, they were Think about the cost of it. They're like thousands of dollars. It's the biggest expense, obviously. It's like a motor pack. It's like a second motor on the car. Electronic, so the motor packs themselves aren't that expensive. Well, once again, you know, they're producing a product that is destined to fail. It's why it didn't go anywhere. On the other hand, remember, GM did build a successful electric car, and I keep pointing this out on the air. Guys, you can watch the videos. What they did to make sure that they had control. Well, the first batch they sold and they couldn't get those back. Then they realized they didn't want to do that because they were pressuring to get rid of the mandatory build the electric car that works program. So what they did is they leased most of them out. The blind share of the fleet was leased out. Well guess what? When they wanted to destroy that car because it, and GM did this guys, everybody had these cars raved about them. They were more successful than any other electric car that Tesla has put to shame by these vehicles. Well what did they do? They, every last, for the ones where people were paying on them because they had the right to price. They finally got those too by conniving and all kinds of scurrilous stuff that they did or they bought big bottles and they said hey. Then they took the vehicles all out literally, literally to the desert so they could take control and they destroyed every last one of them by crushing them and shredding them. No one to see the design they did. This is where again, right in your face and of course even the story itself is now fading back into history. But this is because it was something that not only worked, but worked really well. It was serviceable, it was easy to maintain, everybody loved the vehicle, so it does not require any maintenance. Be patriotic, do something for yourself. Take control of your life and everything you invest in your life. Yeah, but if you don't have to do maintenance, then they don't have any control over you. It's like they can't, at least from that end, you don't eventually have to do maintenance on something. An example is, I had a 1970 Maverick, I had a 170, you know, the guy's smallest Maverick engine ever made, or for that matter, the smallest Ford, you know, six cylinders. Guys that had an experimental car, I was doing 27 and 31 miles per gallon with that car. They only made it for half a year and they made it disappear. They made that engine pack disappear. You could stand that car and it's here. It had the great, perfect horsepower, weight ratio for the vehicle, for a little six banger. That thing had put up with Mustangs. And they made that car, it was only a half year model I had that kicked myself in the arse, it's a collector's item now by itself. But that engine, that whole combination, not only was it fuel efficient, around like a race date. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen, the Empire is on the run. But we are on the march, both today and night. U-R-A-K, kick them to the flat, beat them down hard if they try to get back up. Kick them ahead and beat them down again.
