Summary
Mark Koernke discussed tire engineering and winter driving safety with a truck driver caller named George, covering tire tread design, polymer chemistry, and the dangers of driving in freezing conditions. The show then shifted to behind-the-scenes radio network politics, including conflicts with Alex Jones' Infowars over broadcast hours and the shutdown of WTPRN in Austin. Koernke emphasized the importance of patriot unity against a common enemy rather than infighting, criticized election fraud and the need for election system reform, and discussed stripper clip ammunition loading techniques with callers. The episode included music requests and announcements about Liberty Tree Radio schedule changes and year-end giveaways.

But this last couple of years I've noticed something that they now have a, it's cheaper for the bill, but it's a less aggressive tire. You'll hear that term constantly. Well, they're starting to delineate that again. Whereas for the longest time, the idea was all tires have to be aggressive. For instance, if you're in a state like Michigan, The less aggressive treads would be sold like in the summer states where you have like Florida, Georgia and there you have heat. So they have to again, they have to compensate in another direction with greater surface contact and less airspace between the tires, but they still need cooling. So there's a whole process with regard to the tire tread working also like a machine gun fin. helping to cool down the tire in a very different environment where the highway can be 110, 120 degrees. It's out there in the sun all day. You can fry pancakes on it or you can fry eggs. So with that being the case, remember your little tires can't have them melting on you. So there's where the balance is with the organic because all petroleum products, real quick before I go any farther, all POL are organic products. Always remember that. Petroleum oil and lubricant products are all rated as organics. And especially when you're dealing with a tire, it's got to be almost like an AK-47. It's got to be able to work under both conditions, extreme cold and extreme heat. So that's where there's virtually, I think there's over 700 or 800 polymers for tires alone that can be used. And or tar slash tire, polymer, plastine, base, whatever it is. And although 700 options are within the parameters I just described, it has to be able to handle the heat. and it has to be able to handle the cold without fracturing, rupturing, displacing itself. It gets too cold. It's more glass-like and it breaks the seal and you lose the tire. All these issues were a real problem years and years ago before World War II. Progressively, the auto industry and the tire companies improved the conditions, which means that you don't count the distance you drive and the number of tires that you have to change every trip. But that's how they used to count it. and used to have repair kits on board the car. If you want to go a long distance rather than go by train in the earlier days of automobiles, my grandfather said it was a 29 tire change to go from here to Port Huron to visit family up that way. One way. 29 times, there would be a tire that would be poked and bumped and flat and they would patch it and they would pump it back up and keep right on going down the road. We know it's kind of weird with the, I know they had the controversy with the stone tires. But today, you said the Firestone tires only failed on Ford Explorers. It didn't fail on the normal cars. Well, that's purely a contour. You've got to remember half of this is, you know, when you do fleet vehicles of any kind, there's an agreement or arrangement between what is either a separate corporate mechanism or as in each case, remember, each car company had its own flag tire company at one time. They kind of are still affiliated but like all these other spin-offs, you know, like at Saturn and everything else, in order for them to play the game with taxes and, you know, pulling the business out of the country, they disenfranchised themselves or lost, you know, majority interest intentionally, not accidentally. But originally when a car design was brought forward, there was typically a tire design that was brought forward as a part of the fleet project. Specifically designed. In fact, where the research was all done is right down the road. I've got Chrysler Proving Ground southwest of me. It's only six miles, seven miles away. Straight as the bird flies, maybe eight. I've got Ford Research to the northeast of me. And we've got GM Proving Grounds. And by the way, there's two Chrysler Proving Grounds here. One is 18 miles to the east. They're all right here. And where all that work was done, I've talked to the people who used to do it, build a car from scratch. And the tire is as critical a component. The wheel base of course, all those factors. Wheel base combined with tire configuration. Some things work, others, it looks like they go into brain fart and somebody gets stupid, bean counters take over, and then you have failures. And GM has done that more than a few times, so has Ford. And everybody's taking their turn, as a matter of fact. Hold on, we had another caller there, I heard another voice. This is me, Mark. Go ahead, call in there. You want to watch the temperature. You got to pay real close attention to what the temperature is outside in the winter when you're driving. Anything under 32 degrees, you're going to be slipping the slide. You can count on it, especially if there's participation. I guess I'm talking to George right now, George. You got to watch the temperature, man, when you're driving on ice. Because black ice, you know, anything under, you're going to have a lot of black ice that are 32 degrees outside air temp. Anything under that, you got to be real careful. In your state, I mean, in your occupation, I think driving on an empty trail is more dangerous than a loaded trailer in these conditions. Oh yeah, oh yeah. Empty trailers are dangerous. you know, is all get out. Semi-empty trailer, you're looking at 36,500 pounds, fully loaded, you're looking at 80,000 pounds. So, you know, do the math. I mean, the more weight on the ground, the safer you are, theoretically. But you want anything under, you got to watch the temperature real close. Anything under 32 degrees outside air tap, you're going to have problems. And then, most important, is then there's a transition because you do eventually have vapor processes that take place where you literally are seeing the moisture redistributed or rolled off of the surface. You get down to an extreme cold dry, and the ice issue becomes less significant because it's less likely or least likely that there's going to be any surface material in place over a period of time. That's the cool thing about getting into the middle of winter. By the time you're done, that dry, crunchy snow is actually, again, a good formula for driving. But it's the transition phase around that, hanging around, freezing, most dangerous. And this is what we're having a problem with right now with some of these drivers, I think, because we're hovering on freezing right now. But we had a bunch of wind that came through that 60, well, 50 degree weather we just had. We didn't get 60, but it melted a bunch of stuff. Then we had a good breeze to take all that moisture and suck it away. Now we've dropped down just on the edge of freezing. The good thing, we had that wind the first. If we hadn't, we'd have accidents and booboos all over the place right now. Yeah, and like you said before, people are in a rush. You gotta slow it down. That's the main factor in staying alive out here doing this for a living. You've got to slow down. Well, wait a minute. Let's remind them. OK, here's the thing. There are other speeds on the transmission. You may have noticed that they're there for a reason. Oh, yeah. And with a big truck, you've got range. Also, you can go upper and lower and more, depending on the truck and the trans, depending on what you bought. As a speed dipper, the transmission automatically changes everything. You've got to slow down. That's the game out here. Slow it down. There's participation under 32 degrees. You've got to slow down and you're going to... I see trucks laying upside down all the time out here. When there's water on the road and it's cold, you see a lot of trucks on the side of the road upside down on their sides. Unbelievable. Guys have been driving for 30 years. You get to place it at speed. Speed is a killing. I'd like to know, even when you stop, do you still have to check your air brakes, moisture and cold weather? Because I know they have automatic release on it, but you still have to occasionally pull the string to get the water out of the brake system to follow the line. I don't put too much alcohol in the brake system. I try not to do that. But yeah, just pull the string, pull the wire, and bleed it out. But guys before we go any farther we've gone past the top of the hour. This hour went way too fast and gone into the next one. So Ed don't worry about visitor from the past and of course now we are being picked up by the micro effect again guys. So we got to kind of watch our benchmarking for the hours also because we have other affiliates that pick us up too. But for a reminder for everybody listening this is the second hour of the Intel report. It is, well, as a matter of fact, let's re-bench the date here real quick. It is the 27th of December. It is the 8th year of open Fabian, the socialist, and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K. It is 612 Eastern time. For all of you, a little ear candy. We're going to interrupt here for a minute, but we'll throw some ear candy up because, yeah, Blind Guardian. There's several different versions I've played. The acoustic version is in the request here, so cool. We'll do the acoustic version. Blind Guardian, Harvest of Sorrow. And this is for Canny. And also, oh, wait a minute, hold on. I'm trying to find her name here. There was another girl. I guess, whoa, I could have played Eric Clapton. I was even thinking about that, and I just saw the name. But that wouldn't have been right, because the music they asked for was this song instead. So here we go. Liberty at Provide.net, if you'd like to make your music request. This will be a little belated benchmark for the top of the hour and it is Tuesday on Liberty Tree Radio. put it together with all the languages included in the one playing, which is kind of interesting. From one language to the next to the next. Really well done. Anyway, for everybody out there, I'm Guardian, harvest of sorrow. Go ahead, call Happy New Year. Hey, look, Guardian, and it will be the final, and I believe this hour too. Now, I'm going to have to double check that, but what's happening is there's somebody who wanted to broadcast on the East Coast. So we're cutting an hour back in the morning and we'll be starting from 9 and going to 11. So it will be 2 hours in the morning and it will be 3 hours in the afternoon. So we're going to cut back technically, I mean also on the Liberty Tree radio hour so it will get a little more rest. Now you cut 3 hours in the evening. Oh, we'll still be doing our regular 3 hours in the evening. It will be good. But what will they be picking up? They'll be picking up the 5 to 6 and probably the 6 to 7. They might even be deciding to pick up the 8 to 9. Probably they're jumping around a lot for them and they have programming for Micro Effect. I've got to find out because we're still working on some new broadcasters and Joe has been talking to some other people who wanted to come up. Why don't you talk them in and just go ahead and do the whole thing? It's a personal thing because each of the networks has financial issues where they can sell the programming. And there are people that are coming up to do that. Ours is an agreeable situation. They needed our help. And so we did what we did because of the morning drive program idea. And this other person, apparently they wanted to do the 8 to 9 window. the I did a lot of volunteer, well actually they asked, can you come and do an hour on, forgive me, We the People Radio Network, WTPRN, remember them? Out of Texas, out of Austin. I knew the politics was going on because there would then be a third network down there in Austin, Texas. All of them were vying for each other's listeners. And the one that wasn't really worried, just waiting for people to fill in and thought it would be nice to have our programming up and on here. So I did an hour with him. Well, then the guy came back, the gentleman who was running the network, came back and said, Can you do two hours? And it's like, okay, we can do two hours. And we'll do two hours, plus we're doing all of our regular broadcasting on Liberty Tree Radio that we've always done. And well, you don't need to do that now. See, this is the most common two things you hear. You don't need to do that. You just need to do everything for us. And it's like, no, no, no, no, no. I don't have a problem helping you. But we have our own network. We've done this for years, and we're going to continue to do it. Well, I've got this really great engineer that can do everything and he really wants to do that. I'm sure he's a great engineer. He can run your puppy until it becomes a full-size dog. But we'll still be doing our things separate from that. We are still going to continue to do LTR. That's a safe way to go. Well, here's why. I'll walk you right through it. Because what happened is they then wanted a third hour. Well, this network was being run through Alex Jones' board. other network, which we didn't know right away. Well, actually, originally it wasn't, but here's what the guy did. They knew that this guy was setting up this other network. So they got the guy to be the engineer, to be a warm, fuzzy, friendly person, to get really close to the other guy who was building this new network. And then he started talking to me, well, you know it'd be a lot easier because I work for Alex if I just go over here and do your network from his equipment. and it became a little bit of or part time to full time. And then the first thing that happened is now I did three hours because he asked me to do three hours. Okay, this is the kind of stuff that we deal with guys when you hear about this network issue. And it was like, well, all of a sudden Alex wanted another hour and he didn't want just any hour. He wanted the third hour that I had. like he was going to start some kind of pissing match or some kind of problem on the air. And it was funny, you always get this call, and I've had this call three times now from three different people and three different networks, always the same way, well we need to talk. Have you got some time? You hear my voice? You can hear that. Well we need to talk, and they're worried that somehow there's some kind of an eagle thing going on here and you're like, well, I hate to tell you, but you know, Alex wants one of your hours. Oh, okay, cool. What? Oh, cool, okay. And it's like, well, no, we're cool. He really absolutely needs that hour. Go ahead. Not a problem. I volunteered to do that hour for you because I'm already doing my radio, remember? I'm just doing this to help you out. So it's like, cool, it's fun, it's great. I enjoy doing it. I can figure out how to make it work. And you know, it was really great and he really really wanted that hour because he wanted to create conflict. I was supposed to throw my hands up in the air and go, oh you savages, I'm so insulted, oh BC, I'm just going to leave, oh my god. Now the reason I was asking was I thought it would be really cool to see Joe's show and my show to get the extra. Yeah, not a problem. No, no, no, no. We're hoping we can do that. I just, I don't know. A couple of programs are in the evening. I have other stuff in that spot. Yeah, that's what I don't know yet. That's why I can't answer for him. But I would think that they might want to check. They may be doing that. Because his plan was, and he already asked me, is it okay if we fill out this time? Now let me point something out about this. I want to finish this story because understand that when I said okay, it was no big deal. I'm doing two hours. That's fine. Is it okay? Yeah, it's okay. All of a sudden, number one, Alex didn't want that hour. He was over broadcasting with him, but he had to come in. They actually had to pick up the mic to actually do it. So he threw his hands up in the air, and then the next thing he did, hit the switch and shut all of WTPRN down. Why? Because rather than keeping the eggs diversified, The guy let the person who was the engineer drag everything over to Infowars and when the time came they just hit the switch, unplugged all their phones, unplugged everything and WTPRN ceased to exist. That's why you don't ever... I've had a similar scenario. 25 years ago I used to pretty much The worst part about this is, I'll tell you all, so guys, this is the excitement of the behind the scenes radio, as I rewind the person several dozen times. I'm told, no, no, no, no, no, there's great love and there's great understanding and then there was a great power outage. I'm not laughing at the part, because he was fiber gassed at first, he called me right away, like the moment it happened, he's like, everything's off! I said, well, I'll tell you what, here's what you can do. uh... you can piggyback over to ltr you might have noticed that we every time i do the program guys i mean for anybody who say they can't find us what do i do at the beginning of every hour and i have to reinforce this communications tuesday this is something to do as a radio operator by the way people are going we're being insulted no it's the rule of numbers you repeat the data and information every time you start a new cycle because, and for a number of different reasons, because broadcasting, well just because we run two hours solid here on Liberty Tree Radio when we do the five to six, the very reason that we're talking about here, some people only do the first hour and then they have to switch over because they've got somebody doing broadcasting on the next hour. So the reason that we benchmark each hour officially, and do visitor from the past, that's been our tradition, is that some people only pick up the five to six, Other people that are listening now in the six to seven don't hear us in the five to six and they don't hear us at the eight o'clock hour. They simply hear us during this window of activity. So you have to remember that's how radio works. You know, we get used to casual radio. People are jumping in, they can do whatever they, you know, they do. We're more liberal on this than anybody else. People are picking up the line and talk on the air because it's the way we do things. We are not commercial radio in that respect and we would be heavily poo-pooed for that. We don't have screeners that are going to block everything. Now, it will lock somebody out, knock somebody down if there's some goofy stuff going on, but it has to be really Twilight Zone. That's the difference between us and maybe sitting on the phone waiting to be brought forward and never being brought forward all the time you're waiting for the host to bring you up, which has happened to a lot of people, and even commercial radio. In fact, they'll do that intentionally because They figure they're doing mechanical monetary harm to you so you won't be able to call in and cause problems and bring an alternate view to that station. They do that. It's very, very much a common practice. It used to be more so because a lot of people would call in long distance and they'd just keep letting the phone line run and run and run and they'd never get up. Well, all of a sudden they got a $15 phone bill, you know, for one charge, for one call. corporate radio call in operations. They wouldn't say, no we're not taking calls. No, I'm not going to take your call. Oh no, they'll let you just sit there and sit there and sit there and you're running up the long distance tickle meter back like in the 70s and 80s and early 90s. And it was an ouch, but there was no benefit. So eventually you're supposed to give up and throw your hands up in the air and go to hell with it. That's the whole purpose behind that. Anyway, the thing is that With all of our allies, in other words, if we all just took the attitude that we're all pointing in the same direction, it's kind of like army groups. triangular group down in Austin, two are always against one and then one jump sides and then the other two are against one and then the jump sides again and this actually works out to about a year and a quarter cycle. Every year in three months they've gone full circle where the two don't like the other and then the other two don't like the other and then the other makes an evil alliance and they go round and round and round wasting a tremendous amount of Patriot energy. And that's something I had a great discussion with the people down there years ago and like I said, we didn't get into the Tempest and the teapot thing. But I also don't have a Rolex on my wrist either. Know what I mean? Oh yeah. It's just like you don't see that in almost any community like in the Christian community. You're going to have different sayings about this, that, and other things, but what's actually being accurate. And then something else, our faith is part of the core personal element. When we are looking at a mutual fight, we can all debate the 5%, 6%, or 8% later on once we get ourselves out of the liquid effect that is on fire. You know what I mean? You're standing here in a Klingon saying, only a fool fights in a burning house. Okay, well, only as in why are you fighting amongst yourselves, there's a real serious situation going on. See, this is one of the biggest problems, or usually how you can tell who the people are that are either not genuine in the cause or they're there to disrupt the cause. Because, especially at this point in time, guys, and this is something I've been repeating over and over again, the enemy by no stretch of the imagination is done with their dirty deeds. Okay, they are in motion right now. There is no doubt we are getting ready for the next wave. We might have that breath before the plunge thing, but whatever's going to happen, well, again, as we know, the next benchmark is next month. And there's no doubt about it. If there's elements in the page we want to do nothing but so... This here's how it works. pushing people towards the fight. Exactly. See this is one of the other things for everybody. I don't care who it is. Even the ones who are having problems. Here's how it works. Show me how you work. Show me how you work. Don't tell me what other person is having a problem. What are you doing? How are you contributing? What is your part of the fight? What is your expertise? What is your niche? See, because that's the other part about this. Every element of the Patriot movement right now should be dumping rounds downrange so hard they should be, you know, it's kind of like my dad said, when you run a quad gun, a 40 millimeter quad gun, you always see in the movies, you see that boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, and there's four barrels instead of two. A twin was bad enough. He said, but a quad gun, man, you're loading that thing from the top. He goes, your loaders are going to town five rounds in stripper clips and they drop them in, and initially you've got ammo stacked up all around you. But you know what? Eventually you start running out and one gun goes dry. And another gun goes dry. You see, well that means you're doing your job right. He goes, but there again, that's why you don't have time to think about anything else. You should be dumping rounds to the point where you start running out of ammo because you've been using it up. where you're dumping it down and she goes dry for a minute but that's only because you gotta get the ammo from where it's in your stockpile away from the gun to where it's at the gun and where the loader can handle it. And he goes boom, boom, boom for you. He pops more in and you go boom, boom, boom five more times. Mark. That's how it could be with everything that we're doing, guys. Just focus on the enemy. We got my facts. Here's the thing. We should be, every dirty word or any insult should always be pointed at our enemy. Period. I don't understand otherwise. Is it safer and braver to bite at each other? No, it's just... Well, it is. No, no, I'm stating a point because it is true. It is safer. You see, because if I want... I'll tell you flat out, how many times you heard this on the air and especially this year, I'm going to shoot their hind down. I'm not going to be polite about it. There is no polite. We're into the poor, into a... A life or death struggle, and I really don't see any solution. There's none out of this that's going to be peaceable. The bad guys at some point, if the actors are real, at some point as we have seen historically, they will try to murder those actors that are real. If it is a fake, then betrayal is inevitable and the true colors of whatever pirate flag they're flying from whichever click of pirates they're with will also be shown. But either way, we should be doing only one thing. Dumping around is down range on the enemy. Building up our personnel, building up strength. I don't care what everybody says. We've been doing this for years. Yeah, I guess I should be frustrated because why haven't people stayed the course when they should? See, some people don't stay the course. Probably can't count. That's an inevitable thing. You have losses just by attrition from age. That's not a give up. That's not even a give up the ghost. The ghost is just going somewhere else. That's all. That's spirit. That is an inevitable thing. The other part about it is, and again, I ask this facetiously because we know the answer already beforehand. It's like, again, are you trained as an adult? An adult has to be able to focus on adult task and understand that it will consume time. And then as an adult, follow through to the end result to produce a pie. I heard one more voice. Hold on. Who else did we have there? Make sure we don't leave anybody out. Before we go any farther. Speaking of George, I should say Georgia, since I could fit that in that way. Actually, it's not just a request. I do this as a rub in. Because, hold on here. Man, I didn't mute this thing. What the hell happened to my technology? Well, for everybody out there, you may be in the South, but you aren't going to hear this anywhere but on a Patriot network. In fact, most of them are whoopies. I don't care what anybody says. Whoopies? Because they will not, under any circumstances. Oh, I want to be politically correct for my enemies. I'll piss on our enemies. The hell with them all. I plan on kicking them in the face, beating them down so hard they wish to god they didn't show up, right? In the meantime... Whoopies? Oh, whoopies. Down south here we go again for everybody well not just down south for all of our friends that appreciate the attitude and because you won't hear it in your local radio station I gotta play it for you and I'm a Northerner I'm from Michigan my goodness son what the hell is this for all of you down there again the battle flag flies and it flies proud no version I heard that on a southern radio station was in a place I often mention because Dasta Georgia We're stuck in the Chevy parking lot down there, Chevy dealership again because Friday in the afternoon, the Pistons drove through the head of the brand Chevy engine that we had in the truck. Around in the hood, we watched, I was sitting here, it was happening, right? We had to be told over there in the morning. The radio station, very first thing it would play, coming back off auto broadcasting for the one. And we switched the other and it was only on during the day. That tells you how far back this was. And in both cases, why the very first song you'd hear and the very last song you'd hear would be Dixie. Yes, there'd still be the Star Spangled Banner at the end of the day, but then right after that, they'd play Dixie. I don't know if they still do that down south, anywhere. Anyway, go ahead, caller. Hey, it's George from Pennsylvania. I know Mark the Driver heard of this place, but last time I heard he's taking you on a radio. It's a place down in southern, mid-southern Florida called Yee-haw Junction. If anybody heard of Yee-haw Junction. Yee-haw! Yee-haw Junction. Yee-haw! Oh, that's kind of like the traditional battle cry. So that would make sense. But how many years has that been? About 30 years. See what it means? You know, you... For anybody else, Kentuck, I heard your voice. Do they play where you are? I heard him there. I thought he did. Well, I think you heard me, and this is Fluffy. Oh, Fluffy, okay. They don't play it anywhere in Mississippi that I have. And I listen to. You see the problem with that? I'm a little, you see, you had to listen to that. Look at where that song came from. It came from up here in Soviet socialist Michigan. And in the middle of that, see, persnickety people do persnickety things. Isn't that amazing? That's just fascinating to me. This is something we talked about this morning in the morning program. We bounce around on a lot of different subjects. We're in the middle of a fight for our lives and a fight for this country. You've got to ask yourself if you're afraid to play a song, how are you telling me you're going to jump up and get in the fight when the time comes? Part of this is this desperation because the enemy will call you a name or something. Well, I guarantee that no matter what, the enemy is calling me names no matter what. And so, you know, really, we all tell you what most people have told me. And this is true of all my conversations. It's like, you know, especially what everybody is concerned with is the idea that everybody, you know, like, well, if you aren't going to step forward and speak up, are you really going to probably fight? And a lot of people aren't speaking up right now or are speaking up, but they're within their own circles and the attitude is they're just waiting for the trigger to be pulled out. And whenever the first cap goes, everything goes with it. So just a little heads up there because the quiet, actually, can you hear the quiet? There's not a whole lot of raving or screaming or drama or histrionics from our side because we're a very different group of people. And it's like I said, it's why Trump was not elected because of the election process. Trump was put into office because they could hear the silence. Know what I mean? That really is how it works. They could hear the silence. A lot of people, I don't care what you're going to do, it's obvious you're going to try and do something to us. Well, you just go ahead and do that. And I guess I've expressed it on here the same way. Hillary, good. Go ahead. I think we needed it anyway. It tells me that they realized they need to buy themselves time. And they have by giving us Trump. We didn't give ourselves Trump. It didn't happen because of the election process. It happened because they had to let the election process ride in a particular direction. And even then, we know the level of voter fraud, we know the level of air fraud, we know the level of illegal fraud that's so massive that with those people who did vote, Trump won. Okay, but they create this illusion and still use the term landslide. You're talking about a few percentage, tiny percentage points most everywhere in the country. That is not a landslide. That's just a bare nose. That's slide by by the skin of your teeth. That's what that is to me. Now any win is a win and this is something we've talked about for years. It's like fighting this battle in general. I don't need to beat the enemy by a whole lap. I just need to beat him. In track, you don't have to be a whole lap ahead of everybody. You just need a nose, and again, the toes and the nose ahead of the guy next to you, and you win. It's just that simple. And that's really all we've had to stay focused on. But they try to create the illusion that that's the case with what's been happening. And that's where I really am tired of it, because that illusion is not mechanically possible. It is not by the law of averages possible. And yet it's been happening repeatedly over and over again. Now, what do we have to deal with that? Number one, again, we need to keep talking to people about, and I hate to use voter election or vote reform, because it's so, it's such a pass a term and it's so irrelevant. The place needs to be cleaned out. So the thing needs to be addressed is this whole system is totally corrupted. It has been completely violated. The people that are doing it are totally disingenuous. uh... the system cannot be trusted now how do we fix that we have to you know again get people acknowledge now this whole thing is screwed up it's all farce it's all fake now how do we fix it what do we do to make the election truly an honest election well first of all it's like a lot of other things have been talking with people today slow down i don't need to know tonight who won the election i don't even need to know tomorrow who won the election i want to accurately know who won the election and that means everything gets slowed down everything has greater accountability. Don't worry, you got another 362 or 63 days in the process for still running government and in fact it won't stop running because there's an election. Right? And typically, since, okay, let's think about this, about slowing down. What date did we have the election? What date does the president get sworn in? So, since we have that big gap between the election and where they get sworn in, why do I need to have that instant count like some two-year-old child saying, now, now? You know, like I'm holding my crotch and I rotate hands and then I stick that, you know, those fingers in my mouth and I take the other hand and put down a crotch and feeling, you know, the instant gratification and joy, joy thing. You know what I mean? We're adults. And as adults, we should be slowing things down and there should be no doubt about the end result. And if there is, and there's a significant question, which right now there is, then we have a problem. And it cannot be fixed. There's no quick fix to it. There's nothing that's it. It means that all through the whole system, the watchman need to step forward and we need to deal with this. And if we don't, all the rest of it is irrelevant by comparison. Well, it's not the only thing. And here's the, that's the sad part about this. It goes right back to the core components that make up our forms of government, what it is we're trying to accomplish. First rule, as we know, is that minimalist government is our first best choice. And that is something that they simply will not release. They simply will not let go of. And that's the part of not being a negative. It's just, you're seeing it in the way that they act. You're seeing it in the level of arrogance they're committed to. Now, There you have to ask the next question. All the people who want to participate or are involved here is like, well then what do we do? Remember that line? What do we do? What do we do? So we got all that from Dixie? Well, there's a lot more to it than just Dixie there, guys. Anyway, let's see, a couple of other things. I will check, if I can, real quick and confirm with Joe what hours are being picked up from Liberty Tree Radio. That's an internal thing amongst allies. And it's not a negative thing. Just a reverse. I am very, very flexible and change is good anyway. Change up is cool. So the whole idea of the schedule changing in the morning is not going to, I don't think it's going to hurt us any. I don't believe so. And in the process, we're double tapping with the afternoon, I should say triple tapping, which is another good thing. And let's not forget Indiana Freedom Talk radio's out there. And from the Trenches World Report, guys, there's a whole bunch of other Patriot Broadcasting employees that everybody pretty well is knowledgeable of and we acknowledge. There are many more, some of which we don't necessarily comment on here. A lot of cool productions and operations that are in motion. All of them should have a common goal. Again, you have to use the sifter for that one. You guys are going to have to make a personal choice. What do you think is apropos? In other words, appropriate. I use apropos, that this French won't do. Oh, he's French again. Oh, my goodness. Oh, I did it again! Oh, my French. Any second now my shirt sleeves will spring upwards and I will attempt to surrender because of the spring-loaded uniform that will, you know, oh wait, no I don't have that. French do. Anyway, excellent piece by the way for everybody out there. Really? Somebody just sent me something I can't put out on the air. Too many expletive deletives and it's understood. Anyway, for everybody that's listening, if you want to remember, we do have the end of the year bill still got a little bit of time to go. We are going to be doing the drawing next week, not this week. Now, there's no sense in rushing it again. We can take our time. But for all of you, watch your mailboxes. We've got boxes going out constantly, some faster, some slower. I don't know what the pattern is even anymore. It used to be if it was headed out west, Denver was the choke point. It appears that there's a lot of rerouting around Denver because it has been such a busy hub, so not everything goes. Not all roads lead to Denver anymore. Some of the stuff we've sent out has been there almost the next day, which I think is neat. I've got email responses on that. And if you can, if you get it, remember Liberty at Provide.net, it's when your box comes in. Just send, drop us a little email and say, hey, the kitty food showed up in the mailbox. Go ahead, caller. Yeah, that's it. My box, I normally don't look that. And I noticed that they did show up. Good. Okay. Well, yeah, I want to make sure you got them. Yeah, I don't know how many days they were in there. At least while you got a big mailbox, that's good. It was just stay dry, right? Right. We did the same. One thing in our mailbox was the doom of many mailboxes here. I'm sleeping so it works out pretty well. You fade out reading and you see you remember more. That's what's really cool about when you read at night. Most people don't realize that. You actually retain a lot more doing that. You read about it. And then he fell deathly asleep right in the middle of the banach. Mark, the thing is when I read reading at night, I was reading like Charles Dickens, Christopher Carroll and all that stuff. Which is far more better the book than watching any of the movies. I recommend you read it than watch the movie. Right. Well that's always true. The books are still the better choice. I just got the conversation again with another person about Dune. But there again, I didn't have to say too much. Let me put it this way. When you run into a person whose dog is named Fade Raufa, you know that person is a Dune fanatic. Okay. You don't want to know what is better. I mean, they promise you're trying to fit too much from a volume into a, like we've always said, a one and a half to two hour movie. Maybe a multi-event evening special in the last two or three Michael miniseries. That's like, oh, come on, The Stand. Remember, The Stand was done. That was done multi-episode. And the other one was The Clown. They just re-did it. Of course, they got a lot of people almost killed here with the latest clown, scary clown thing. Claws never scare me because the 12 gauge usually defeats the scary clowns. I think everybody agrees on it and was like, oh that's a really stupid thing. You're threatening people. You're trying to scare people out in the country. They're more likely to be people with rifles that don't call the police, you know. There's a guess. There we go. Nope, go ahead. The name of the movie was It, though. Yeah, It. You're right, exactly. It. Yes, but he was a clown. Yeah, but that's kind of like a deep sea creature where it's got the little dangly thing, the lure you in. And then in reality, you got the big face with the long, translucent teeth that hopefully eat you, that kind of thing. That's basically what he was trying to describe. Hey Mark, go ahead, call her. We're almost on the top, by the way, guys. Go ahead. Yeah, you know, at the next hour, you come on, can you... Do me a favor and talk a little bit about stripper clips. I was watching, I was talking to BC, he stalked me into getting them. But I'm watching a YouTube video on stripper clips and the guys that are in the videos can't even make them work. They're consternating trying to get the mags loaded. I mean, they're pushing real hard and they're not going in. Well, that's only because they're afraid to boo-boo their thumb. See, I'm looking at my thumb here and I have those nice stripper clip grooves on the side of your thumb on the outboard side. Because when you grab the mag and you push down, those little strips of metal have a tendency to, you know, and after you, you know, I, hell, I get a picture. If you look at one of the, one of our videos, you will see a picture of me loading stripper clips. You'll notice that there are cans in the back of that truck. Let me point out, you see all those cans in the back of that truck? Those are all ammunition that was on stripper clips that were loading into 20 and 30 round magazines. And we loaded every one of those. We unloaded every one of those cans. Every one of those cans. Thousands of rounds. And you know what saved us time? Crap. Knowing how to use the stripper clips. Yeah, it's not hard. In fact, it depends on the weapon. The only one, see with the PTR-91 slash THK and with the FAL, you have to go with the stripper clip guide on the magazine. With the M14, you can either use a stripper clip guide on the magazine, but if you pay attention, look at the top of your rifle, you'll notice there's a stripper clip guide built into it. Now with the M16, you have to use a stripper clip guide. Why? Because there's no quick access to the top of the receiver, the chamber of the magazine well. So you load it up off of the table. You actually load it up wherever you are. The big thing there, again, is they require, A, a little grip. or creativity. You can use a flat board surface. If you've got something where you've got an edge and you can push the magazine towards the ammunition on the strippers, that's an old trick, especially as your fingers start to get really tired or bleed your thumb. It's not a grand thumb, guys. It's just stripper wear, thaw, wear. And it's on my right hand, not my left. OK, you can actually still see the scars because you do enough of them and that little piece of sharp metal there or semi-sharp metal wears. And I've done that with 8mm Mauser, 308, 556. Hell, there are stripper clips that were made for the 55 boys and I've loaded those. Imagine five round stripper clips that you have for the Springfield of the M14 but for 55 boys. And they came in bad lairs. We used to buy that ammunition by the hundreds of rounds. Now somebody did out of Canada, somebody did but it wasn't me. And we would load those up for fire on the range and boom boom. I have yet to find a YouTube video where the guy pulls his stripper clip out and loads some mag with ease. I mean he's always sitting there trying to get it in, can't get it in, and then he calls his friend over and he can't get it in. Good Lord, what's going on with these strippers? They have to practice. It's that they see, what did I say before about those radios? Remember what I said earlier guys? You gotta take the radios out of the package and you gotta try them. When you have stripper clips, you have to practice, practice, practice. And that's what people do. They go out and they figure, oh, I'll just use it. You've got to work on this. Mental muscle memory, it becomes a subconscious auto action, where you just simply go through the routine and it's second nature. Uh, stripper clips are unique and as you do load the weapon more depending on, or the magazine more depending on what it is, yes there's more resistance also. And that's why that last stripper clip is always, ugh, and you get it all in there. And then you pull that stripper clip out and take the guide off and you put it in the stack and you look at the other 25 to 40 mags you still have to load and you go, oh god. But it's still easier than one round at a time, one round at a time, one round at a time, one round at a time. And even there, that's kind of tough on the thumb and the fingers because you see mostly the thumb. Because those magazine lips on the top, they're not too friendly either. And your skin gets a little tender after a while. So the stripper clips are actually a much better choice because you've got that one piece of brass you're pushing on. The important thing is to apply pressure back into the base, but everybody's afraid to get their little thumbs boo-boo'd. Okay, the only good thing is at least it's not like Grand Thumb where you got 9 pounds of rifle hanging on the end of your, you know, of your thumb and you're wondering why it is the guy screaming so loud. Then you realize, oh god, and everybody jumps to save the guy from his rifle. Supercomps don't do that to you. See, that's kind of cool. Anyway, we are going to cover that, but we're going to be heading out here. Ed should be bringing up the music because we got Joe from the Carolinas coming up next. Bless the Republic. That's the New World Order. Ladies and gentlemen, the Empire's on the run. Remember, investments are low. Some guys who just give that job behind you and you're busy dumping grounds downrange create a sustained cycle. That was...
