Mark Koernke discussed the 2016 election aftermath, focusing on allegations of Russian hacking and the death of a Democratic National Committee staffer. He criticized the Obama administration's response to alleged Russian interference, arguing that the claims lacked credibility and served as a distraction from documented security failures and misconduct within the Clinton campaign and DNC. The show featured extended discussion of operational security failures, classified document handling violations, and Hillary Clinton's email server practices. In the second half, guest Don Betcher provided detailed technical information about thermal imaging equipment, night vision technology, and preparedness solutions, including product specifications and pricing for thermal gun sights and related gear.
I had a dream the other night that, while I didn't understand, a figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat and, speaking low to me, he said, We've fought a revolution 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. 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 is 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. Number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize family farms and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be burned. 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 and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic in each God-given right. And pray to God, freedom burning, as Iowoc he'd vanished in the mist from when his words were true. I'm free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now, as tyrants trample each God-given right, we only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Well, the plan did. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first hour of the afternoon. Intelligence report. Our current victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories. If you're listening to us, come. Indiana Freedom Talk. and we are on AM&FM Microstations, CBE, Baystations, Technologies, E-CIPI, along with Alaska. Our friends way over there on the far side of the planet, I mean after all, at some point it is morning somewhere and even as we speak, yep, it's a happening. We got Don here with us. Don, what's the day today? What's it like up in your neck of the woods and what's jumping off the wall, please? Hey, there's that rhyme about 30 days and whatnot in December isn't one of those days, so We got another one after this one, but it's the 30th day of December, year of our Lord 2016. It's like it was going to snow and the clouds came over and you could hardly see the sun there, and everything's going over there. Hooray. Again, on the Friday of the year, the 30th day of December 2016. Did you ever see that movie, the Russians are coming? Whiddaker Waltz. Hello Walt, Whiddaker. Whiddaker Waltz. You remember that, don't you? Emergency emergency everyone clear from the street I couldn't help but bring that up. Maybe jars a couple people's memory banks there But it's uh this fellow we talked about this together and I've talked about this with my father and my father How come you didn't tell me this? Well, I we've talked about some other things but like to bring to everyone's attention again that guy who ended up with two bullets in them back of his head there, one of those people in the big big in the Democratic Party, a young up-and-comer who apparently found out some things that disgusted him and disappointed him and he decided that he was going to bring this to everybody's attention and got a whole bunch of emails out before the two bullets in the back of his head stopped that. Now, you know, you have a whole group of people blaming the Russians for this young man's actions. He gave his life for it. Think about that. Now two bullets in the back of the head, you probably didn't see that coming. So he probably had an idea that maybe I'm playing in, maybe I'm swimming with the big sharks and the alligators around here have extra teeth. Maybe he was thinking that, but two bullets in the back of the head, he probably didn't even see it coming, you know. But the people around Hillary and Hillary, you know, we can talk about the trail of 187 dead. This was before this political campaign began. This was roughly the time when the Clintons left office when Bill wasn't president no more. Another glorious moment in American history. But the 187 dead in the wake of the Clinton political machine. What's another? Oh no, what would be the Clinton response to that? What difference does it make now? Well, at any rate, let's continue with this narrative because it's not a story. Comes across a whole bunch of things that he doesn't like inside the Democratic Party and it decides to make it public. And gets these things out and then is shot dead. But these things are out and they gotta figure, well who can we blame? What can we do? We gotta cover this up somehow after all. Some of this stuff is disgusting beyond belief. Did you ever see that movie, Mark? The Russians are coming? This is what they did. on the Russians. After all, we've been talking about the cyber war for years now. And after all, people have been talking about the corrupt voting for a while now. It's becoming more and more common knowledge that you can't trust the dipole machines. Let's mix that all together. And that's what they did. And now we have 17 national security companies and agencies and others that we don't even know of, but only one of them. They will name the CIA that says that it was the Russians. The Russians did it. The Russians are coming. Everyone gets off of the streets. But where are the other 16 American spy companies and agencies and departments departments and whatnot. They don't mention any others, do they? But that seems to be the number they're throwing around. Why, we have 17 official agencies and groups and government think tanks and other... Well, this is what they're telling you, but, well, we could tie so many things into this, like the CIA and Hillary and Benghazi and what happened there. Because they didn't know that wasn't happening in that time frame and they didn't know that that wasn't going to happen. They did not know that that wasn't going to happen. There's a double negative there but you understand what I'm saying. Oh it's the CIA, they know everything don't they? They know how many answers and my aunt go out, back out there. That might be a stretch, that might be. Where are the other 16? Mark, they don't want to name them and this all runs into the network, doesn't it? As far as, well, let's see here. believe that a Kennedy's plane fell out of the sky through purpose, not by accident? How many people inside the company, sometimes referred to as the Central Intelligence Agency, how many people inside the company knew what happened in that moment? How many people were aware of what was going to happen for maybe 25 or 55 or 140 minutes before that? So there's all that connection and all that tied up. Well this gets back down to, again, from the inside you had people that were totally disgusted or maybe they were agitated because they didn't get the brownie points, the pat on the head, the attaboy, whatever it was. But as is the case, a disgruntled or... Disillusion, there's the term we should be using a lot. He was a disillusioned DNC person who said, let's tell them all. So in reality he wasn't hacking. This is something he kind of pointed out this morning. Guys, that's where somebody just literally is in the loop, has the information and just shovels it out the door to somebody else. Now, on top of it, what I was told a few minutes ago here, again, one of the other things they're now making public, what they're claiming is, well, Don, the Russians supposedly hacked by calling up and saying they were tech support for the government agencies or the people that were doing whatever, and they fooled them because they said on the phone that they were tech support. So they gave them the information, the numbers, like open the line. This is the whole process of this. Guys, this is what we were talking about with operational security. What have I said months ago? Months and months ago about this. Okay, here's how it works. You have cover, we used to have cover sheets. First of all, you don't pull any from a record or a file that you aren't immediately going to use. And when you're done with it, you are religious about putting it back, right? You don't do electronic signals and whatever you do, you have a whole series of verifiers that must be made before you possibly would use electronic signal systems of any kind. What you have is gross, gross, gross, idiocy, and incompetent. And that's what they're trying to cover their arse about. And criminal operations in all directions, not the least of which is, as we know, the pedophilic lesbian queer slash DNC Jewish mafia. I mean, after all, if you take a look at that kid that got the two whacks to the back of the head, I might point out he looks a little on the Jewish side than me. First time I saw him, I was like, hey, who's that Jewish kid? And then I'm reading the article about, whoa, he got whacked, eh? Well, he was with one group of power mongers, and he didn't like what happened, so he kind of bit the hand, and then they found another hand to come out and put two bullets in him. And didn't even do a good job. There's an arrogance to this hit, because They didn't take his watch. I mean, if you're in a big city, the best way to cover it is do what, guys? Do a quick snatch and run. Grab the watch, grab the phone, grab the wallet, and everybody will go, oh, it was a robbery. Except that the problem... The first thing the police have to do is wonder who it is and how do they do that? All the identification is gone. Right, so that buys time for getting away and also for even connecting any dots. It takes time to have to go through the, you know, again the NCIC to run the prance or, you know, again throw a picture of the corpse up there, which not everybody would like to see if you got shot in the back of the head, you know what I mean? Anybody know what this guy is? No, maybe that cheek. Is that part of the bridge of the nose over there? Yeah, I was going to say the nose off to the left or the chunk of nose off to the right. What are you talking about, sir? The problem with this is that the whole step by step really comes down to totally failing at operational security. Every element of these people's operations, which means a whole day in hell that they should be near anything in the way of our government. See, there's the first part that nobody brings. It's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, the Russians. Well, if the Russians did do this, the level of idiocy and incompetence had to be on a level par with, well, actually, I think third world countries would do a better job. There's nobody that would insult, well, you know, you can't say, I bet you Bangladesh does a better job than these dweebs did. And I'm not just talking the DNC. I'm talking the whole stinking mechanism here. But, idiocy got rewarded. Stupidity got rewarded. Yes men get rewarded. People who know their job get pushed out of the way and fired. Don't think so. Look what the pentagram did with all these officers and personnel that they've gotten rid of who are the movers, shakers, and Americans and the ones who keep their jobs are the ones who don't love you. And they don't, they're not reliable for the country. They're not useful. They're not part of our country. And that's why they were kept. Let's just keep that in mind. They're part of that next group coming up that are supposed to be like the snowflakes, only vicious with no moral restrictions and no honor whatsoever when it comes to our country, because they're globalists and internationalists. And for that reason, well, everything we have has to be wide open so we can just walk through it like apparently they did with all of these activities leading up to the election, right? Because that's what we got out of the deal. Isn't that amazing? And let's not forget that this is the first time this has been done. This is the first time where they got caught with their arms so deep into the cookie jar it was up to their armpit. And then the lights came on and there they are standing around the chair, next to the counter, with a cookie jar, up to their armpit, screaming out, who, me? Republicans did it. The Russians did it. The Republicans did it. The Russians. Yeah, and the Russian thing. Let's tie that in. It's called Pickle Smoke and Mirrors. I've told you about it. Remember the Wizard of Oz? You know, Green Pickle Smoke. Mary had the Green Smoke. And mirrors. Pickle Smoke and Mirrors. That's where the term comes from, guys. Okay? Now, the thing is that when a magician does this, you get the other fanfare activity going on around you, and then you throw your hand out with the pixie dust. And the glitter dust is supposed to dazzle you for a minute and go, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, What's going on over here I don't want you to see because it's part of the fake. So look over there. And all of them, all the dog and pony show and all the circus monkeys are chiming right in. Isn't that amazing? Not to my circus and those aren't my monkeys. We get a call, what do we have? America is so damn brainwashed for the most part. You don't have to take it too far. As far as the guy being a hit, My guess is one of those, you know, two shot auto pistols, the ones that have the slot fire for two shots and stuff, and yeah, that's a ticket. And it happens all the time. I mean, that's probably what happened. As far as airplanes, they drop out of the sky all the time too. That's why I drive. That's probably what happened with Kennedy and that. You know, the thing with the fuel line got caught up, little chunk of this, or they had debris in there and, you know, into the Atlantic, you know? Yeah. A plane flew above it, about 15 feet above it at Mach 2. Just blew it into pieces. Yup. Don't you mean to Russian yet? Russians did that too, yes. But Yuri, Yuri, I tell you this, he's an original Russian dog. Exactly. He was actually 27. Anyway, no, somebody just threw something else at us. Yes, I agree. I can't put it on the air, but go ahead. Anyway, dodge over there. Well, again, you know, that's, that's, that airframe would fold up if something, so to speak, buzzery, high speed. Now it would be, uh, to people along the coast, it would just be, oh, crack a lightning or a, what was that? Was that a sonic boom? At any rate, you know, the, the local news is doing the, the review of the year. And, uh, and we have to go a little bit farther back. We're looking at such an administration now, look at the things he's doing to try to make it hard for Trump. As example, the expulsion of the Russians. Now, progressing, what does he expect Trump to do after he takes the office? If he overturns all kinds of things that he's done by executive order and then they get overturned by executive order in what, 22, 24 days, once he catches his breath from the party, you know, think about it, it's Trump. At any rate, relationship with Russia is going to have to go on. Either that or how does that phrase go, Mark? We're lobbying ballistics at each other, you know, and well, that isn't fruitful in for anybody, is it? He's going to have to try to normalize things, but The Democrats are going to look at it like, look, he's just playing with his friends who helped him get the election. See, this is what Trump, this is what Obama's doing right now to emphasize, to magnify that to the extent that they can really throw that card on the table and a lot of people will believe it. So much, the Russians are coming, clear the streets, the Russians are coming. They're here, they're in your computer. I've got one in my calculator right over there, I can just tell that little bastard he's hiding in there. I just know he's in there though. But they want you to believe. And there had to be a Russian in every dive boat machine, even if they did change the name, Mark. Don't you know that, right? There had to be a Russian in every one of those machines. In fact, interestingly enough, the whole tempest in a teapot is designed to distract us from the fact that, again, we're looking at gross incompetence, criminal activity, perversion on a level that all we have to do is read what's been made available. And again, I really don't care who sent them. Let's put it this way. They were too honest. They showed you stuff we weren't supposed to see so we could lie about it. These were hacked emails. That's one of the defenses. These were stolen property. These were hacked emails. It doesn't matter. That's not a defense. Look at what they are. It's like when they talk about, when the Jewish Mafia talks about the learned elders of Zion, they don't say it's a fake. They say the copy is a forgery. Now let me ask you something about void play with a rabbi. What is a forgery? It's a copy. An exact copy of the original. So is the... so are the rabbis lying to you? They're not lying if they use the word that word. Oh, it's a forgery. What do you mean? None of you were supposed to see it. Somebody copied it and put it over you. All could see it. You ain't supposed to see it. That's what they've done. So here we have, so these are all fake emails that were generated. See, if you're an espionage, you throw all, you don't throw just anything out, you've sculpt and create an engineer and you'd be able to go, no, this isn't real and this isn't real and no, they can't do that. This is one of the things that's been brought up about WikiLeaks across the board. WikiLeaks has gone to court many times. Do you know that they have not had to rescind anything yet? Which means in other words, this is all true time data. That's what we used to call it. True time data. If I'm in a battlefield situation, I need real time. I need true time data. I need stuff that's online right now. I need it timely. I need to know that it's, you know, the window of activity for it. Is it useful or is it outdated and less useful? You see, this is true time. And that, in and of itself, is all that you need to know, to be quite honest. I don't care who, but, you know, the communist Chinese probably got some. Like I said, I think everybody hacked them. In fact, it wasn't even a hack. It was almost like just walking in the back door through the screen. In fact, the screen wasn't even a good screen. It was a Walmart, low end, cheapest one available, and that was their defense. In fact, the guy in charge of Hillary's network, her server, didn't have any clearance at all. Along with the people who were receiving and sending it. So there's an avenue in right there. That's been a proven that in many, and remember this came out with all the other data. You know, you've got, first of all, what did I say before? When you're handling classified documents, you only handle a document that you are going to need. You might have a whole filing cabinet full of stuff and you're going, wow, I got a big job for the day. I got to go through this, this, this. You don't walk over there and pull file A and file Zulu and file Zulu Tango and then, oh, I got to go to the second door. Well, there's two more files, and no, you don't do that. You have a schedule of use. And the only thing you pull out of that file, you look at the clock. You calculate the time to whatever break in activity that's going to take place. And the only thing that you pull out is what you're immediately going to use, even if you may have a schedule of things within the next two hours that need to be done. Once you're done with that activity, and all the while that the material is being used, it is covered and it is blocked. If you have electronic data, It is used in an isolated piece of equipment, literally like you might as well just have like a laptop locked in the cabinet. It is not hooked up to a database. It isn't hooked up to anything else. And it's basically a reader, because you might have something in a data stream of whatever kind. There are any number of different older technologies that were used for this very purpose. And present technology, but it is never hooked up to a system. If it is finally hooked up to a system, there are a series of handshakes and all kinds of other things that need to be accomplished before any data streaming is going to take place. These people violated, this is why that twit, Hillary Clinton, in no way, shape, or form, should be in or any position. Already she qualifies to be told kick rocks and get on down the road. She could not go into any government post again. Not for what she's done in any one of these activities. Other people who I think are far more valuable to this country have been pissed on by this government for a whole hell of a lot less. By pure accident they are still persecuted by the pencil pushers in these dweebs, but all of a sudden the same parasite, pencil pushers, and dweebs seem to have this really bizarre double standard where you've got this gross malfeasance by an incompetent who has no business being near anything with his authority involved. I can't be... I can't say enough expletives to explain how low this turd is only because of all the other good people who may... Oh, well, there's no excuse! Ignorance is no excuse under the law, or it may have been an honest mistake, but the letter of the law! How many times have we seen that BS? How many times you in the military have seen that BS? And this... A piece of trash here? Oh no. Like I said, the worst piece of gutter snake filth we could possibly throw out there. And she had a whole gaggle of incompetence and idiots working for her. Or people who, they weren't really incompetent when the maid is told to go grab those papers off of the printer and they're all classified documents. Well, she's just following orders. Of course, if you were some foreign power, who would you make sure Hillary hired? And who would, or for that matter, the mage that you have, it's like, hi, how are you doing, Chiquitán Quereno Conchita? How would you like another $40,000 a month? See? Well, you just make copies of that before you take it over to Hillary. We understand what you're doing. Just anything you do, we don't care what it is. We don't care what's on the page, just print it and bring it to us. You see how that works? And again, how would they know? She didn't even have any kind, she wasn't even in the loop for a security operator, a security element, you know, say command and control review because she didn't have any kind of clearance or any documentation whatsoever. She could have been just easily ripping everything. Here's another source for whatever it is. Only because again, she might even have the brains to think about doing it, but somebody else will walk up and say for $40,000 a month, you're gonna be looking pretty good. Let's do this. I can do that. I can do that real good. She's very good at ice. She gets into fits. When she's in a fit, I will take everything out of the room I want to. This is what's bizarre about this whole thing. How many layers of stupid and over-incompetence have laid again and again and again? Figure it out, guys. As you know, prior to planning, hell, it didn't take very much. It didn't take the entire spying network of the Soviet Union to get over defeat them. The government of Chad, third poorest country on the planet, could have done just as easily. And then made a lot of money selling it to everybody else. Why not? Makes sense to me. And by the way, we have seen this before. Layer upon layer plans within planned circles within circles. And then it's the Israelis who end up being caught at the very end of being involved in the whole process. I'm going to vote for against my veto. You didn't vote against my veto. Don, we're at the bottom of the hour, so let's do this. You're available. It's Friday, guys. This is the last day of the year that you will hear from us. You're not going to hear from us until a year from now after we're done with the 8 o'clock program. All the information, how everybody can get hold of you, what do we have available through the page, and especially with regard to thermal technology, what is it we have we can use day or night out there that you can pull off the shelf? What's the best solution for the guy who maybe has a shallow wallet? Go ahead. Well, in reverse order, we could talk about the Thor Gun sites. They're all thermal. They're .50 caliber capable. They'll live on top of your .308, no problem. 22, you're 22, 250, you're swift, you're 308, I mentioned 308s, didn't I? Not to mention you're 50 caliber. A range that it will perform in depends on the front lens and the pixel stack, how fine is your picture, and that's the different ways you can upgrade. Also with the cyclic rate, 30 cycles or 60 cycles, and 30 cycles gathers a good bit of information, you know, taking half again as long. percent again is long to that information and then present it to the screen. If you're panning, if you're looking at something that's moving, if you can keep it right in the frame, in the right spot in the frame, you'll be able to track the main portion of it. You might lose a portion of a leg or something as it gets faster and faster. 60 cycles will take a lot of that away because it just, you know, could boom as far as what one might call frames per second. Two ways to upgrade the right or from base 30 to up to 60 but again each has its advantage. You can upgrade the screen you're looking at. A lot of people when I hand them a piece of thermal they're looking at the rubber boot you know that keeps your eye on the screen and helps. The sky's a good portion of that light coming out of the device called wash. For boot when they bring it up to their eye they see a rectangular image and inside the thermal gun sight. Rectangle image is pretty standard for thermal. You can double the fineness of that by going from 240 to 480 for the height of the stack and 320 to 640 for the width as far as per millimeter or rather per inch. I'm not certain. Double the fineness of that picture and because you're doing that, that will help you. Something is at range. representing something with a pixel. So you can upgrade with the cyclic rate if that's your choice. Each has its own advantage. Or you can upgrade the screen that you're looking at, or you can go up in the lens size. Now the lens size, the standard lens is 19 millimeters. That'll allow you to 150, almost 300 meters. The heat from a car will disappear around 400 meters. You won't see a car. You'll see the horizon beyond it, you know, that big shadow of a building or whatnot. But you won't have thermal detection. It's the entry level. If you go to the other end of the scale, you've got a 100 millimeter lens and you've got 60 cycles and you've got the array. And now that will allow you to look and determine that is a human being. I'm certain that that's a person at 1500 meters. That's, you know, I'm skipping a jump short of a mile. So somewhere in between, if not the entry level or all the way up to the top, there's a piece of thermal in there for you. We can do it like this. If you're looking for green screen, the scale, the entry level thermal now falls roughly halfway between a second generation gun sight, third generation gun sight. Now the scale moves up and by the time you get to the third generation gun sight, I think you've moved past two or three. Well this one has a bigger lens and this one has a bigger lens and lines. So you can move up through the category. There's a 19, a 25, a 50mm and a 100mm front lens. And again, the 100mm front lens would be the one that allows you to determine that is a person. I am certain that that is a person. 1500 meters, just like a hair's breath of an understatement, short of a mile. top piece over there at the website ydtoe.us.yankie delta tangle oscar echo price on that and if you call me at 231-796-58 I'll give you a code and you enter that code and you can make that purchase and save enough money to get you one of them zeta ARs that's a complete rifle and if you look around probably a case of ammunition to boot in that top of the line in sight that will allow you to see you know short of a mile. It's come down, you'll see that, well I can't offer that much off on a product that you know is like $179. I'd be sending you four of them and you know you'd be sending me a, or something, I don't know. At any rate, you understand that as the price gets less and less, the discount is you know, not as big, but it's still many times for quite wide, T-O-E dot U-S. You'll see again viewers, you'll see a viewer and two digital gun sites, that's entry level. You move up, you'll see the green screen stuff, second, third, and fourth generation. You'll see binoculars and gun sights and monoculars. You'll see basically those same bodies and a couple of others in third generation and fourth generation. Now, overview of green screen situation right now. Someone tells you they're selling you a second generation American tube. It's either been on the shelf for a long time or it's used. because it was about eight years ago, maybe, it might have been 10 years ago, I'd have to go back on my notes when we told you that, hey you guys, ITP started up their second generation line again and they're building second generation, well, PVS sevens and other things and they did that for a few months and then they went back to building third generation stuff again. It's not much of a change, it's just let's add this or let's take away that and, you know, let's go even finer in the lines per millimeter. all ITT made the last of the American brand new second generation green screen tubes. And I hate to say that out loud because what that is telling us now is that they're almost exactly all gone. The green screen American market now is totally involved in third generation. If someone tells you they've got a first generation American, it better be a PBS2. That's going to be a device it's about. most of 20 inches long and about 5 inches in diameter and weighs about 6 pounds. And even then it might have been refurbished over the years with Russian tubes. Mind the second generation tube I offer now is a Belgian tube. Now we can go up there but that tube is like a 5000 hour tube compared to what was a 2500 hour American tube. The second generation that came off the ITT line or 10 years ago, had about 2,500 hours life expectancy. Looking at the entry level now, it's a Belgian tube and it's 5,000 hours minimum. So the device which the American device is one manufacturer saying nine, the other saying 10,000 hours. ITT years ago, I don't think this tube is still burning, but many years ago I could add, had a third generation tube burning on the bench, you know, in test condition for 35,000 hours. So that's three and a half times what they tell you to expect out in the field. We tell you not to point your device at the moon or street lights if you don't have to. If you're in the backyard, tail lights aren't real good either. Head lights aren't much behind tail lights. There's a lot of loonums there. At any rate, we've talked about screen discipline, but if we back up a little bit, you guys, that green screen that you can only use in the daytime for maybe a few moments depending on the light level and well it just isn't real secure so I got every once in a while I got to make sure it's still on otherwise the device is just going to shut off. Alternate to that is either a digital entry-level device you can use it all day long and into the dark but when it gets dark enough you're going to wish you had a second third generation green screen or you want to turn on the illuminator that's supplied. But if you go up in the scale, again, between second and third generation, we're talking about now at the entry level, 50 caliber capable, recognize a human being at most of 300 meters, well you could use that in a daytime too. We've talked about this before, each has its advantages. The digital, you can use it in a daytime and into the dark. Now that's something you can do that you can't do with a green screen, but just wait till it gets dark enough and the guy with the digital, he'll be wishing he had that green screen because you're looking around and you still haven't turned on your illuminator. to read like a billboard, other things and recognize faces a little bit better with a green screen. Thermal not dependent on light. If you look at a billboard, you might not make anything out on it. The big signs along the side of the expressway, a billboard, you might not be able to read anything off of it or the numbers on the door of the truck. So each has its advantages and disadvantages. We've talked about this one. You're moving through an area and you look over there. and you wonder what it is and you bring up the green screen and well because well you're looking into some shadows you still don't get a whole lot of information but the next guy up brings up the thermal on the same area you've indicated and he says there's something 98 something back there in the degrees department five meters to the left of that tree about two meters to the left of that rock where you wouldn't even see it, but he's almost in the open, just you hear. And then he hands you the thermal and you see things that you didn't see with the green screen. So each has its advantage performance over the other in some ways. We talked about that mixing of a team. If you've got a green screen and the thermal, that's a hard team to beat because each is going to shine compared to the other man. Look what this does. When you look man, look what this does. It's changing them back and forth. that You'll see gun sights in thermal, and gun sights in digital, and gun sights in green screen, and other things like binoculars and binoculars in various categories. But if you have any questions about what this or that will do, or what is the real price, give me a call. My number is 231-796-58. Again, 231-796-58. Goggles or gun sights? Yeah, I'm the guy with the night vision goggles. The phone number is 231-796. Thank you Mark. Waiting for some of this snow to turn into fog again in the morning so I can experience that. Look at the fog. If you're used to the green screen for years and years, that looking through the fog, that's almost like, wow, this is in the movies. Over to other current events, it's New Year's Eve coming up. try to stay home, try not to get in trouble, try not to be revenue or you know what I mean. Because well if they can't get this guy they'll try to get you for anything that they can. And then they'll plea bargain you down to whatever they want or that they think they can get away with. So I couldn't help but bring that one up. questions also again you're bringing up fog. Again density we're looking at variations in how well we can see material such as burning material it would be have to be actually active to probably protect more effectively. So we've talked about burning tires, active thermal piles, off-saved flaming aircraft wreckage, burning buildings. Needless to say the plume off that's going to work as kind of a screen slash a wall, correct? It's going to block the imaging beyond that point because it's going to register that first, right? Right. It's much like the green screen and the human eye. Your eye will adjust to the brightest field of view. It has to go down to a pinpoint or open up to your iris is seemingly the whole of the floor of your eye. It doesn't work wonderfully, but that would let even more light in. The green screen works the same way. It will adjust to the brightest image in its field of view because it is working with light. Thermal, we tell you, don't look at a fire with the green screen. It's not good to look at a fire with the thermal either because it is registering a lot of heat there. It is kind of revving the device up. At the very least what it is doing is running your batteries out quicker. You guys, you will be astounded. We should go and this will be one of the final words on night vision for the year. got a piece of thermal or if you've got the digital gun sight you can get an external for that. Poly battery that you can charge through a USB port. Now this is 2300 milliamps I think. That's a little bit more stored energy than 4 AA lithium which is what they'd like you to burn and if you don't well they tell you you might have the device because thermal just It's like Niagara Falls when it comes to the battery power, eight or nine hours out of that. Or lithiums, and those are like two dollar each batteries. High performance device, and you know, if you want to drive a big block, you gotta put a big carburetor on it. If you got a big carburetor, well, you know, where the gasoline goes, right? Well, you know, you can understand, you know, what I'm trying to say. Man, thermal sucks down the batteries, that's the bottom line. That in mind, that external battery pack, you can charge it hundreds of times. Now, you can even get, you say, well, it's so charged with a USB port. Well, hey, as long as we're civil, you have acorns almost that plug into 112 volts and then you can plug right into it. Now you're charging whatever has to be charged with the USB port. If you look on television or in particular catalogs, you'll see portable generators. This one will start like 20 cars, Mark, without a battery in them. And it has a USB port. Now, I imagine if it'll start that car, drain 20 times, you might be able to charge that device and put it in your backpack. If you had two batteries and one was charging and the other was running that night, because one of these batteries will certainly get you through a whole night. We're still in the winter time, you guys. If I stood out here all night with a full, let me see, it's dark now, it will still be dark at this time tomorrow. That's 12 with an 8 hours worth of batteries or maybe 9 hours worth of batteries. do the math. Battery Pack, if you buy, I'll get you that battery pack. To the website you'll see that there's the cost and if you call me I'll give you, you can recharge that over and over and over and over and over and pretty soon it will have paid for itself. Let me see, $2 a battery and $4 a per, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, it will, I'm glad we moved over to the thought line about batteries for a moment because thermal just drinks the juice out of the batteries. It just, hey, give me more, give me more. If you hook me up to your 12 volt car battery, I'll drain it in just a little while. Again, you know, it's a high performance device and it's cutting edge of technology and boy, I wish they could on the battery intake there. It doesn't matter as far as, well, if you're looking at an entry level Thor or the Thor If you have any questions, I'll quit with this. If you have any questions, give me a call. My number is 231-796-5888. If you want to see parts, go over to the website. That's ydtoe.us. Very good. And again, while you're dealing with a stranger, when Don Betcher is available, guys. And it only takes a moment to call. And if you have any questions, find out what's going on. And whoa! You can contact him. You know it's pretty bad when a four-foot shark is eaten by a grouper. Must have been a big grouper. Really? Yeah, I know. The reason for that is that it's a four-foot shark. That's some kind of Jewfish. It didn't ask for any crackers. It didn't go up and then said goodbye. Somebody shot that to me there and said, hey, check this. Here we go fishing. I caught a shark. I caught a... Oh, no, you didn't. No, and you didn't get the grouper either, by the way. Oh man, it's like, you know, you're gonna, oh, they're gone. It's all gone. Wow. Now, as a matter of fact, real quick, on the, again, don't forget, we've had some pretty interesting Christmas items that have been kind of left over on the shelf. And rechargeable batteries can be found in a number of different objects for pennies right now because like big lots is now into their Christmas is all over, so we need to get ready for springtime. In Christmas, they're selling off Christmas stuff and of course it will get cheaper and cheaper as the day goes by if it doesn't move. You've got to keep an eye on that and keep a close eye if you're going to take advantage of the really super discounts that will take place. Okay? But batteries, rechargables, are a number of different things. If it has a solar cell, probably get a battery. If it has a charging wall wart, it's a rechargeable, obviously. It can't just be an alkali. Always remember, if something's busted up or something's damaged, Don't just throw that piece of equipment away. Those batteries are priceless for your purposes, guys. And since there might be a rack there internally, and I'm sure there is, and there is a wall wart slash a DC converter, the charging system, maybe you want to see if you can figure out how to pair off all the extra debris and just use that unit as the charger for the batteries because you know it was built for them to begin with, right? Hey, improvise, adapt, and overcome. Now one thing that I just found that you might find at big lots around the Midwest here, real quick, it's a heads up for all of you, all their Christmas lights are marked out. They have a really interesting solar powered light set that is very cheap. And as a matter of fact, with like 35 of the medium bright white LED, they do I guess have another color, but the white one seemed to be what's left over, which is cool because that's what I want. And for about $5 to $7 depending upon what the markdown is right now, a good emergency lighting pack that can be utilized in many, many different ways. The big thing is that again, the solar cell itself is well sealed and well molded to prevent moisture from getting into the solar pack where the battery is. I'm going to use these in actually some internal locations where it's going to get plenty of sunlight, but I'm going to be using it for peripheral lighting in other ways. So kind of cool because the price is right. And I'm going to experiment, but I'm probably going to go back and buy every last one of them that's on the shelf. Just tested it tonight. Works exceptionally well in the happy camper situation. Don, you might find something up your way too. I will take a look, but if you're going to buy multiples, Mark, here's some advice. Pay attention to how you open the first box and if you can leave the array of lights in there and bring the cord out, you can power that and use that for one big light. I saw that many years ago done with Christmas lights left in the box. and the array of lights in the box was pretty cold when it was lit up and hung on the wall. Oh yes, as a matter of fact, well one of the things I'm going to do with this is for doing an overhead, like, micro street light. Take a piece of sheet metal, drill holes for the 35 or 40 Christmas tree lights, which are LED lights. push them through and make them directional. And what's cool is there's about a good 2.5 to 3 foot of utility wire that doesn't have any lights on it, which gives you the ability to whittle it around through, move it through a pipe, clamp it to a particular fixture, and you've got yourself a directional light that you can use in a number of different situations, but for area lighting outside, a poor man's street light. and totally solar, it's plug and forget. That's the nice thing about this. Now here's what's really cool, if you pay attention and look around, for those of you who are worried about a lot of moisture problems, eliminate the moisture in the snow problems by watching for some of these other bubble plastic shields off of other packed items and put it right over the whole solar shield. Cut it to the spec of the tube, the pipe, or the 4x4 you're hooking it up to. And that's a poor man's solution. You can apply with staple gun and a little bit of sticky glue. so that you can create an air seal. And what you have is a bubble where light will still get through, it's clear, it's probably going to be good for one season, but it's a quick solution until you can find something nicer that somebody's throwing out. I've got a bunch of these absolutely clear hemisphere shields off other items that people always watch for stuff like that. I need it for propping for some of the other stuff we're doing with the theater productions too. But there's all kinds of different things you can do just to seal or cover it up so the snow is going to come down. Michigan we got rain and snow. You want to protect from moisture. That's the first thing you want to do with solar equipment outside. If it's not sealed up, go get yourself a tube of bathtub caulk and very carefully bead around all these little solar panels like on your outside lights if they're the little dollar store lights. I've got some here that have been running for now almost four years. Paid a dollar for them. You think I got my money's worth out of them? Never change the battery on them, didn't do anything other than just make sure that they put that little bead of plastic, that little bead of bathtub caulk on the top, just enough and it's clear so that it's not going to block and pretty much what little of the solar cell is going to touch and cover, that light is going to go right on through. So there's all kinds of neat tricks we can do to get that kind of lighting in place and I'm expanding the perimeter. Another thing you've mentioned, you know if one of those fails, It might be the light emitting panel that fails, it might be the solar panel that fails, but those are rechargeable batteries inside, aren't they? Oh yes. There's only three small critical components, the LED, the circuit, which is only one resistor, and of course the battery fixture and the solar panel itself. So between the cell and the LED and the other part of the circuit, Hey, you can actually disassemble and reassemble and mix and match if something fails, figure out what failed and make the other two work for you. With other derelicts. I'd never throw a little solar light away. I've got all kinds of projects we've done with them. Anyway, we're at the top, guys. And Don, you'll be able to stick around, you gotta go. Got a struggling mark. All good, old friend. Well, for everybody out there again... Well, this is the last time we're gonna hear Don, cause it's Friday, so Don, we're not gonna hear from you until another year out or so. Aw, man! Well, God bless the Republic! We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen, the Empire is on the run. We are on the march, both day and night. Hurrah! Kick him to the slats and beat him down so hard that they wish to God they never showed up. Then find the fools who sent him. Repeat the process until we clean the country out. Don, you're number for night vision on the web page so we can get that done. Hey, the phone number is 231796. It's Y-D-T-O-E-U-S. Hold down. Thank you, Mark. God bless you. God bless you, America. Because it's going to be for us. Politicians don't. But what are you doing here? With that guy.
