A figure walking 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. He was 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, the brave, the freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free, the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values keep taught according to the same. You read about the current news in a regulated press. And you pay attacks you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seemingly farm and keep our country But men of God in jail harass your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit so their children and labor leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedom for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children in fear, the Republic? 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, as Iowoki vanished in the midst of once he came. His words were true, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now, as tyrants trample each God-given right, We only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. He stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep. What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? He did much earlier and then went to muting again. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the report I have, R. Korky and Don Don Betcher. One day, Cory, for all investors, mow behind the lines in occupied territories west, Southeast, you're listening to us on... ...treeradio.4mg.com, IndianaFreedomTalkRadio.com, and we're on AM and FM microstations, SEED base stations, and Ultra Net Hallmark and Golden Spike Technologies, east of the Mississippi along Alaska. Good afternoon to our friends, the great state of Jefferson, of course, the Aleutians and Here we are, it is a beautiful, beautiful wet and rainy. It's just plain, piddly, stopping for nothing. We have water standing outside right now. I mean, a lot of places. So, moisture coming down, fresh water collecting, the wealth of Michigan and the nation. What's it like in your neck of the woods? What's the day today? What's jumping off the wall? Well, it is the 30th day of March, year of our Lord 2017. And, well, it's been overcast and it's been raining off and on and at least the ground has taken it here better. I guess maybe it isn't raining as much, but the puddles aren't so deep, I'm guessing. But again, the 30th day of 2017. Don't you hate a sore loser? Don't you hate someone who just mumbles as they walk away from the chessboard or the board or kiddly-winks or ouch, mumbly-peg? Don't you hate a sore loser? Even if marbles, the Democrats lost almost all the marbles, didn't they? And now they're exhibiting that they've lost their marbles. Because, well, you know, I don't mean to double talk you, but I had to do that, Mark. It's just how much time is being wasted on this big, big investigation, and there are those that are saying, well, Don, let Mark talk. We know all about this. And again, this only exemplifies it. But how much time is being wasted in Washington now, trying to figure out, what are they going to do? Go out and ask people, did you vote for Him or her because, well, the Russians told you to? Now there's the great accusation, Mark, the Russians loosed more than a thousand hackers to spread disinformation and steal information and spread it as lies. And the flying Jewish monkeys sent out a hundred thousand. What's your point? Yeah. But see the double-talk in there? To steal information and spread it as lies. Yeah, but it was information and you spoke it and it was your words. Yeah. Well It's the truth because well, but they don't like it. Well, don't you hate a sore loser? It's almost at a point where we're gonna have to shoot him because I was I was thinking about this as I was out moving around in the world today that that it's it's you guys throw him out and on the pretense that the Russians influenced the election. Now what will they do if they do that? Do you think that they would allow the vice president to ascend to the presidency and appoint a Rockefeller or somebody else to the vice presidency and then maybe knock off that guy? Well, that's all speculation. But as you pointed out many times, Mark, if and they've tried to point this out already, the clucking hens, Well, if he's not a legitimate president, nothing he does is legitimate. See how that works? But they're stealing the line from Obama. There's that psychiatrist and transference thing again. Because unto this day, you know, Obama could do nothing wrong. And it was just a wonderful thing that Obama brought us. National health care. The economy. If they remove him from office, where do you think that's going to take the nation? This is much like the speculation that, well, one of the reasons why they voted in, Bama Lamadindong was he wasn't your average old white guy and they had that particular button to push if they chose to treat him like they did Kennedy. Well, that would have brought a civil war to the nation. We're looking at the same actions versus consequences right now. What do you think would happen if the Democrats, let's label that, the commies that hate, the commies that hate, yeah, I did say that, the commies that hate, the guy who wants to take a little bit of money and try to make it into more money, the capitalist. Now we've got people who address this and say nothing but, he lies, he lies, that's that joy there. on the viewer, the talk, the view I think. He lies. He's a pathological liar. He lies. And then she'll sit there and tell you that I lie. She'll sit there and tell you I lie. Her. But he lies. And the other thing is, you know, they have to address this, this group of clucking hens, none of them are politicians. One of them used to work for the Bush White House. So I guess that gives her a bit of, you know, a toe in the water of politics, so to speak. But they'll sit there and tell you I'm a comedian Much like what's her name the the whoopee did today? I'm a comedian and if you're supposed to pay attention to comedian when it comes to political views Let's run over to the other one and and just you know drop the drop the pronoun or drop the the sexist comment he why Why why so, you know We could run this one into the ground because it is apparent that they're working as hard as they can to get this guy out of office as soon as they can. Did Obama face anything like this other than, here we go again, someone who stood up and said to him, boldly, Mark, I yield to you, sir. You can't say that. Who stood up there and said that right on the open? You can't say that. You can't say that. Yeah, he did. Like I said, you know if that guy had said, you know, let me point something out. And again, I don't even recall the guy's name for the moment. You want to know why? I'd recall the guy's name if the next day he said, damn right I stood up and said he lied. Well, the head of the Republrat Party says, you got to apologize. Well, the hell if I'm going to apologize, he's lying. Well, this is Washington. You have to count out it. I ain't dancing for anybody. Now you know what I remember that man's name and I'd recommend you make him president. Yeah First he did the right thing that needed to be done right there in a place where they couldn't edit it I just stood up. I wouldn't have just said it. I just stood up and looked right across me What are you gonna say to me? You're a liar from a house of wires You're lying sack of poop Well walk on the sensor you can sensor all you want that ain't gonna change the truth That man would have been president the next time they'd run for a... run the presidency. And I'd have stopped the gong on that one because for a change you found some Republican raft that might actually have a spine. But what did he do the next day? He said the right thing. He found his intestinal fortitude in the best possible place you could in the most public forum where it couldn't be stopped fast enough. But then he lost his spine. And that is where our problem has been for quite some time. Until we find people that want to be in politics that actually stand for what it is that they state, then you're going to continue to see the fall of this country the way we are now. Created from the district of criminals by a minority of individuals who have no real right to govern because of their failure to properly act. Crownly from the founders, guys. Think about it. Far cry from the founders. Pretty sad. There again, it's the nature of the beast, nature of the creature. Whoever steps forward and finds your intestinal fortitude first, oh yeah, they've let Trump go so far. I will point out again though that Trump was allowed to go in there only because they know we'd be, here it is, the end of the month for March. What did I tell you five months ago? Hillary the Hutt were in there. By this point, they would be in full gear. Because they'd still have to wait for Bummer to step down and Hillary the Hutt to go in. And everybody agreed, because everybody was talking the same way. I've had three or four people I haven't seen, and the only reason I think I just saw one of them is because, well, as long as I'm stopping by or driving by, hey, uh, wow, what do you think about? Well, be a bit fearful, okay? Because, you know, you see some people only once in a while. But pretty much everybody has to agree. And they already have the attitude, it's like, well, you know, this isn't going to be settled by, you know, conversation. It could be, provided that conversation was as stern and as focused as the invading enemy that's trying to kill you. You know, if the fight were equally, you know, forced, you know, pressed the way it should be, so that you're really... Yeah, you're really buttonheads. Not this panty-waist, half-harsed, you know, kind of gets up there in a moment. All they've do is call these idiots a name. anything. This doesn't mean there's what it is and their spine just falls out their hind end. Butt cheeks open up and you hear that meat silophone. How can you stand without a spine? Well, fact of the matter is, the rest is history today. So, here we are. I don't know if it's true or not, but if you know, somebody quoted this and went out there beating the gong on it. If Donald Trump has gone to the golf course 16 times since he's been president, I have no respect for him at all. I'm serious. I have not seen that Seaco's... So you've got to be aware of some of this stuff. If he has gone to the golf course even once, piss on him. So there's something... I was thinking about this one. It would be kind of fun. Calling the White House information desk. It's like, hi, how are you doing? But you're calling to make a statement or a team. I just want to know how many times has the president gone golfing since he's been president? Now if I hear zero, I'd say fantastic. You mean to say that you can't put your, if it has, if it is, and this is where the problem is, I haven't been able to verify, the comments been made and they've coded a number. But you know, you mean to say you can't stay away from the stinking toys. 90 days or for maybe six months and focused just on. The dirty turd we had to leave was to me playing at a time when this country is in the situation and this country is floating along but this country is already lifting badly. There is no game. There's no golf. You know, it's like you say, go down to the basement, find out what the other presidents are installed. There's a bowling alley there. There's a swimming pool somewhere. you know peddle your hind end back and forth on that you know throw some bowling balls do something, leave whatever's there, don't touch anything else and you don't, that's just to break things up because it's understandable you've got to break away from things but this golf course BS, that's a ring knocker BS symbolism that I just have no use for because that's all they're doing oh you know that two-ball cane thing just to let you guys know you know oh yay, oh yay, oh yay Hell, for that matter, the announcement might have been some ring knocker number. You know, he's been golfing 16 times. Oh, yay. Oh, yay. Oh, yay. He's golfed 16 times. You know, it's like the two balls in the golf club. That's what you think it is. You ever see that little pin? That's a little ring knocker code piece that represents two-ball cane. If you don't know who two-ball cane is, go look up the Old Testament. Find two-ball cane. Then you'll understand the tongue-in-cheek laugh-your-ass-off joke that's all about. Again, we get a lot of work to do, not just lamenting about the boneheads. Like I said, it's the 90th day of this year, approximately. We're heading into the end of the month. We need to probably do a drawing again here pretty soon. I would say we do have people who have donated also. I want to say thank you. We appreciate that. We've got the donations. I have to acknowledge that. We've got some manuals headed out to Arizona, by the way, and also we needed to send some night vision discs out that way, so I'll talk to Ed about that. Ed's got the copy. In addition, we also, of course, like I said, need to look at improving. I still have not gotten a window that we can use for shortwave. And if we get it, we get it. If we don't, oh well. Notice I'm not going over the telephone here, over the radio mic, okay? That ain't gonna happen. I'm not whining about it anywhere. I'm not going out back and screaming, LIE! LIE, DON'T THEY HAVE SHORTWAVE? Well, if we don't have shortwave, it could also be this. The piss-willies have stepped over and told them, YOU CAN'T PUT HIM UP ON THE AIR! Because that's what they did before, guys. So why would we not expect to see it now? Seriously. And meanwhile, the people who, of course, are out running operations just lie through their teeth and claim it didn't happen when they then, later on, admit that it did. So, a couple things that we can do. Number one, micro FM stations, of course we always talk about, but we're going to rub it in again, dx.com, dx.com. For public address and also in the event we have some kind of psychological warfare operations we might want to present, pile up those little boom boxes, run off C and D batteries. And even the small ones that run off a big, you know, little gang of double A batteries. Time comes you might need to make some noise. Kind of fun to be able to use a micro-FM transmitter and have 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 rebroadcasting boom boxes making noise for you. There's a number of different ways that creative tool can be very, very handy. So just little heads up on that one. Also, one of the other things that I'm fascinated by And again, we've been looking at this, the inventory of Ozzinins hand cannons, it's not Weapons Wednesday, it was yesterday, but you know what, every day is Weapons Wednesday here. I had a couple people asking about the Ruger. There was a question, it was a rumor thing, I'd never saw anything substantiated with the P-85 Rugers. with supposedly a safety issue. I did not see anything on that personally, but I know people who, because of the brag up, where this came from was a big brag up that Ruger wrote about their new safety system on board their pistols. For whatever reason, I think one person even got shot. Okay, shot himself. arguing that his pistol was the safest pistol on the planet but unfortunately the safety was not engaged the way that he assumed it was and he put the gun to his head to show just how effective the safety was even if you pulled the trigger. Well, the only thing he demonstrated was the efficiency of the firearm when the safety is off. You get my drift? Wow. Yeah, it's like, no that's not, in fact if anything if you ever do that aim for a tow. Okay, but don't, this person literally put the gun to his head and well, he just evacuated the argument from, you know, shall we say, any discussion at the table. Yeah, he didn't have much to say about Ruger after that. Yeah, exactly. So here again, rule number one is, I have full confidence in the system. I just don't have confidence in people engaging it necessarily. You get McGrift? In other words, first, brain gears need to be attached. Hint, hint, hint. Number two is, no, we don't put the weapon to our ear and show people just how much confidence we have in that interlock safety in the way it... Whoa, boom! And then we inspect the fire and we find out the safety was never engaged. So, prior to our planning prevents piss poor performance. The Ruger, otherwise, nah, they don't jump on him a whole lot for the same reason they don't talk about, you know, say, SIGs. or even Beretta. It's not that they're out of our mind completely, but my God, I can spend more on that Beretta than I would on my AR-15. I like the, you know, guns. I like old guns. There's no firearm you couldn't throw in my hand. I can't make work, right? But when the pistol costs $7,800, $9,000 per gun and I can acquire other American arms or I can find weapons for rifle. Yeah, I can buy two AR-15 systems at the price of one Beretta. If I shop around I can build almost, or let's put it this way, I can build a complete AR-15 by the 20 mags I've told you about and still have money left over for cases of ammo. Yup. Okay, for the price of the Beretta. unless we find these military and police trade-ins. The one thing about military and police cop shop trade-ins, guys, they never fired, they're not fired that much, you just carried all to hell. And not all of them are. There's a certain number, if you, you know, departments are like anybody else, that have big inventories of things. They buy 20, 30, 40, 50 cars. They have so many in reserve. They have so many that are constantly used that if they're smart, they're rotating them. But very seldom does that actually happen. So out of a fleet of 40 vehicles you got a couple of dogs because they've been running them, you know, three, four hundred thousand miles. They've been going, they'll keep them clean. Then you got a bunch that are medium used, then you got some. Man, it looks like that thing never came off a lot. Oh, it didn't. Look at the tires, you know. There's nids on the tire. Yeah, I know. Well, the same is true with police trade-ins. When a cop shop buys a bunch of guns, they buy more weapons than they have typically personnel. and the percentage of those guns, they're not hangar queens because they don't work, they're just hangar queens because nobody ever got issued them. And then there'll be a percentage that got limited carry. Typically those are reserve officers that get them and they carry them on occasion. They take them out for qualification. They carry them when they're there for the county fair or there's some kind of natural disaster. Then the gun goes back on the rack. Not there, not the department's rack, just in the closet with whoever's got it. Then it gets turned back in when they're going to go to a new gun and that's where you see this mix of finishes or conditions. Now some guns Oh, they get carried and carried and they get worn and whipped around. They get moved around in the holster. When I say to wear, I'm not even talking, oh, he whipped it out, he had to use it, and then he put it back in. He whipped it out and he shot six more people and he had to use it. No, it just gets burnished. Yeah, it's just rude. In and out to go to the donut shop. In and out to go to the donut shop. In and out to go to the donut shop. Oh, and there's some stops and things they do too. You see? So that's where the wear takes place and it literally, like he said, like Dom just said, it polishes. You actually, it just rubs the nylon or the leather just rubs and rubs and rubs and all those leading edges get shiny. That doesn't bother me. It's when I can work the action and see that it's crisp, you know, there's a crisp engagement. It's got a good solid lock, the weapon, you know, prints well. Well, these Rugers I'm talking about are like that. They're not pretty. Many of them, it's a mix. Some are, some aren't. Most of these look to be probably a combination of foreign military or some department that was really, you know, running these dogs, okay? They didn't beat them down, but they did polish them up, so to speak. So they can be refinished with a paint job, which is what I would do. Some people would just want to, it was blue, red blew it. If it's parkurized, maybe you got somebody who has a phosphate-finish plant and they'll just, you know, reparkerize them for you. And we have guys down the road that used to do that, the one plant's gone. The other one is much farther away because it moved and it moved over to Jackson County. But they're there, so it can be done. OK? Anyway, they're Ruger P89s. They're conditioned externally fair as far as finish goes, but it's a mix. Some are better than others. And mechanically sound, and definitely a good choice at about $200. And as far as mags go, plenty available. So there's a solution there. I got something today, I just want to mention this. This is probably the neatest prize I have gotten in recent time. I was checking to see where somebody is getting rid of stuff and I was looking and there was this mechanical thing. I always would, we know what happens guys, I already told you when I see mechanical things, I got to figure out what it is. I don't care, might be broken, I still got to figure out what it is. So I turned this mechanical device over and it's got four screw points. four corners of the box, not four points of the compass, not noon and six. Corners of the box, but it's a circular surface. And I turn it over and it's a clock. It's a wind-up clock. It's a really old wind-up clock. It's a Swiss. It's a French military aviation clock. Wind-up. It is obviously, I'm still looking up to find out what's going on, what it is, can't wait, what it was used in. I'm pretty sure it was a navigator's precision clock for aviation support. There are two things that better work really well, the compass and the clock. Guys remember with the navigation it's flight time and distance, right? And what's the best thing about this thing, it wound up, it had been run out, it wound up very quiet. I put it to my ear. The thing is, it was originally in a black crinkle finish. Older pattern pre-World War II or pre- could even be pre-World War I. Forgive me not pre-World War I, but World War I. Could be World War I. I think it came from a cruise-served aircraft. Got it for free. Works, functions flawlessly, holds perfect time, and it's a beautiful movement, but it's obviously for official use, by the way, only. Property of the Air Force. Probably the French Air Force. What's interesting is it's got one little tick and what I'm thinking it could even be taken out of wreckage by some servicemen overseas during World War II. You know, hey I'm going to take something back from the war. Hey guys, what is that? Well it looks like a clock. Took it off, put it in their pocket, brought it back home. It still functions, it still works, it's amazing. It's at least World War II. It may be pre-World War II. But it is a beautiful piece of equipment. Guys, That was headed for eternity. I just had a couple times I just had to look at it and just think about, you know, God knows where this has been, but anything you see like this, here are all these families. They have treasures. They don't even know what the treasures are. They have no appreciation for any kind of quality. That's a sad statement for our people. Overseas, even with all the Chinese knick-knack crap that's out there, they still understand and appreciate, I mean, and especially the farther you go into the third world, nothing like this would ever have been disposed of. But here in Nittwood America, with no knowledge or working, no education whatsoever anymore, no finesse whatsoever, you know, a piece of, probably family history. I'll guarantee it, because everything else is from the World War II that I found, that I have with this, including silver, Knives, I got a quantity of knives today, all for free. They were all for free. And it's all from the same era window of time and I can pretty well tell by the way it's Mark, how it's wrapped. This is all part of somebody's private collection of stuff and what it is is grandpa died or dad died. Well piss on him, I don't know what this is. Is he, is he a case? No. He's showing up. Not even having any working knowledge about what this stuff was. It's good. As long as I can catch it, it's good. But you know, this is happening all over the country and it's an example of stupidity that's been created. Ignorance that has been created. Ignorance that didn't happen by accident. It's disgusting. I'm going to talk about the people who just got rid of it. I'm going to talk about the fact that somebody had it. It's like, you know, I can picture this happening. The battlefield of France in 1944. Guys are moving across. A lot of French equipment was used by the Germans. They knocked down a French plane maybe or they over ran a runway and there's a bunch of equipment there. And he goes, check that out. That's got a little ding. You know what, give me a screwdriver. You got that screwdriver, Ralph? Yeah, hold on a second here. Wait a minute. Oh, oh wait, let's get rid of that problem first. Ah, you know, okay, no, somebody else can deal with it. You know, let me get this out of here. And then it slid into the guy's, you know, gear, and it might have walked across Europe. I've had too much stuff like this. Mortars, anti-tank weapons, and I'm serious, guys, mortars. You know, there's a window where mortars, we were getting mortars left and right. Mortars, not shells, mortars. All the same model. How did this happen? The guys went across the Pacific or they went across Europe and it's like, I'm taking something home. I want something big. These guys carried this stuff back. Not the biggest. We're talking platoon and the squad mortars. Same is true with anti-tank rifles and anti-tank weapons and stuff. You know how much that stuff was laying around? It's still laying around out there. Most of these people don't have a clue. Now, fortunately, in many cases, we were the person who was getting up here in years, he was smart. He just said, hey, let me show you something. And so, now it's been taken care of. But once I see something like this, this is, it's the quality, you know, if we went into, everybody yaps about the Third World War. And, or, you know, post-World War apocalypse, you know, what would it be like? Well, I'm gonna tell you right off the bat, that stupid clock I just picked up, Ain't no one waiting how any of you know how to build it if anything like this happened. We just think about all the stuff around you. But I looked at that and it's like, you know, I want there'd be no way in hell the precision and the quality of something as simple as this. Now back in the day, I should point something out. When we weren't flush and junk, and most of it is junk. See that's it, we'll go do something like that. That's what the younger person would do. We'll get something like that, yeah, some China sport, Mickey Mouse piece of trash made by some slave who didn't quite do it right so they dragged her out behind the plant and blew her brains out and took her kidneys and put them in Rockefeller or something, right? Yeah, right. You mean that thing? We're talking quality by craftsmen and skilled tradesmen. The metallurgy that went into it alone, we can't match. Okay, appreciation. What did it take to make it? What did it take to make it? And could you even possibly come close to it within our generation if we were given the opportunity right now? I mean, if we were to sit down right now and we'll say, World War III, everybody got cleaned out, we all know, all of a sudden you're on your own, what would you actually be able to produce? What would be the level of your performance? What do you think you could crank out? This is why historically devices like I said, when planes were especially coming into their own, there are two devices, well three actually, but two that were really critical if it was any kind of distance aircraft. And like I said, the compass, they spent money on aircraft compasses, guys. They spent money on timepieces and certainly the radio equipment that went on board. Weapons? Not so much as you would think. That's what's fascinating. Oh yeah, they put some good stuff on different aircraft, but you know, it's everything else had to be tensed out, lightened up, thinned out, less, you know, again, even the radios, like I said, I've got radios from the liberators, I've got a radio from a B-17, and one that was off an A-26, an A-26, not a B-26, an A-26, an intact ground aircraft. Those radios have to be ultra light. They're still excellent quality, make a mistake about it for their day especially, considering that they're an analog mechanical system. Guys, they work just as well as they did the way they built, so even they're a testimony to quality. But those timepieces and that compass determined whether or not you landed on your aircraft carrier or never found the aircraft carrier. During World War II in the Pacific, how many stories do you read where the guys calculated and tried to get back to their flat top and what happened to them, Don? They didn't. It's a combination of things. Sometimes it was just, you know, again, it was acknowledged the navigators screwed up. They miscalculated. Time and distance, guys. Time and distance and direction, of course, that center point direction, but then time and distance. Time determines or helps you to calculate distance. flight time traveling at 230 knots north by northwest positive compass. Okay, now how long will it take? That's what that guy's doing on that little scratch pad there. And he's also calculating at that however many knots, how much fuel am I consuming? I might want to get there But how much if I proceed at this speed, how much fuel I consume? If I ratchet back my speed, can I increase my efficiency? If I can increase my efficiency, we might just make the objective. Which in this case will hopefully be going home. On the other hand, there weren't many people planning on just going one way and suiciding out. Okay, just little heads up there. If it happened like that, most of the time it was one of those, oh man, I should have known better about this one. Anyway, so again, fascinating A neat find. I'm going to actually give you a little more information on it when I know more. I guarantee I can find this. It obviously was bumper secured to the body of whatever it was like, probably the navigator station or the bulkhead of the aircraft it was a part of. and it was bolted into place in four points for security and I'm sure it was again, everything was also softened for resonance and harmonic vibration guys. Something I talked about the other day, I got a book on notes, a follow up to many other books I have and I've just read the first chapter on that by the way. I was going through it while I was... sitting in one location, at least settling for a little bit. Take whenever you can, whenever you can do something like that, try to fill your time up with something useful. One more thing about this with timepieces, by the way, most people don't think about it. In your 510 program, if you can find, and you're probably going to end up only buying China Sport on this, you can find wind-up watches. I highly recommend you put those in your inventory. If you go to Deo Extreme, they have all kinds of China Sport. wind up watches. Well Mark, why not electric? If you want to do electric, that's fine, but is there a battery store out there in the field I don't know about? Everything or every place where you can use something else that does not require a battery source whenever possible for tactical operations, you should try to incorporate. We need the batteries, we're going to carry batteries for things like what Don provides. Well, we're going to have to, you know, again, limit, or try to limit. We still need a timepiece, we still need a compass. Compass don't run on battery, they run off that magnetic field that encompasses us. So that's not a problem, right? But we are going to have to carry batteries, but let's minimize that. So a wind-up watch, five or six or ten of them would be a good idea to put in your inventory because when you want to coordinate an attack or a motion or a rendezvous, it would be kind of nice if everybody's on the same page. And most people will not think about having a watch. And by the way, don't tell me you've got a clock on your cell phone. You do all understand one of the first things that's going to be gone from our inventory the moment anything kicks off is the cell phone, right? Well I brought this... Oh hey, let me see that. Battery one way, pilot junk the other way, and your point? You mean you brought that transponder with you? Oh, that's nice. So anyway, whatever we're gonna do. Let's work this in because we've got time and I don't want down to rush. Outside, wet and damp. Still gonna get dark tonight. When you hear that splish splish splish through those mock rice patties called the back fields of Michigan, well, it might be nice to know who's making the splish splish splish splish splish and then they freeze and stop and realize somebody's paying attention. So Don, how can I get hold of you? What technology do we have? Tell us how to run the web page and again, how can we see in the dark? Thank you Mark. Hey, if you go over to ydtoe.us, you'll see thermal and green screen and digital and... Well, it each has its own application and each will do something that the other won't and, you know, the right tool for the right job or entry level or top of the line, you know, a couple of different phrases there, but you'll see, again, digital and green screen and thermal. Now, we've pointed out as of late that the United States military is going to thermal right down to your average boot, right down to the... individual person. Now that depends on there could be some good and bad things with it because you know the cheaper you go and again this goes over to who got the bid right the cheaper you go the less distance you see. So we can well they won't be able to look to the horizon with that ability you know you can even with a first generation piece of green screen you can make out something at the horizon. Another thing about thermal and this is it might be hard to understand but I can see to the horizon with a piece But I don't have any detection ability as example beyond about 500 yards or 700 or 1500 yards But I still have that image of the horizon But if you know gods and gods of army were coming over the horizon beyond that 1500 meters They're beyond my detection zone, but that green screen I can look to the so again each piece has its abilities and encumberments that the other ones don't. It's just trade-off, this or that. But if you want to see thermal or green screen or digital, you know, the digital is replacing the first generation now and it's about 90% of what first generation used to be. This is why we tell you if you see a green screen, a first generation gun sight someplace, and well, it's particular if it's new and you're going to get a warranty and it's a reasonable price, you're going to do better than buying the digital right now. And there's a whole lot of people that won't tell you that because they want to sell you the digital. But it'll work in the daytime where the green screen won't. So there's people who are going to tell you, well that's the advantage right there. And it is the biggest advantage. But if you go over to ydtoe.us, again, Yankee, Delta, Tango, Oscar, Echo, you know, us, US, you'll see the digital and green screen and thermal. And if you have any questions like, what will this do compared to that or what is the real price, because I can't advertise for less than what you see there. Now if you look around, I'm told Planet Optics is running up 10% off. Well look at their 10% off to the list price and then go over and look at something at ydtoe.us and give me a call if you want another real price. And I'm pretty certain, excuse me, I'm pretty certain that most of the time there I beat that 10% off considerably. So I had to bring that up because well, I'm not supposed to advertise for less than that. There's a great big advertiser that's doing it. We haven't got any response from the company about changing policy. Again, if you want to reduce the prices over at ydtoe.us, give me a call. My number is 231-796-58. Again, 231-796-58. We've got a couple more minutes here. This kind of keys into what was going on in the last hour of the morning but send out a couple of happy birthdays here to Clapton. 71 years old and he's still around and uh oh Tracy Chapman remember that that simple guitar lick and you know just the ding ding ding of the guitar and talking about somebody else's fast car she's uh 51 today so happy birthday to you guys i appreciate a bunch of the songs you've done hooray couldn't help but do that. I don't know when Frank Sinatra was born, but someone out there could probably tell us, but it's not a major concern. So don't punch it into the computer and there you go. At any rate, the other thing we could run out is what was going on today. The Clucking Hens had that David Axelrod on with them on there on the view. He's just jumping up and down and everybody else is just having so much fun because one of their commie friends is there. And he's talking about how the Trump administration will tell you one thing and do another. I mean this is the, what was he, the press guy, what is that? What do they call that guy? Press relations or whatever. The suck, press suck. You're right, you're right. but that's what he was for obama for four years but this is the same guy that you know stood there and listened to obama say that well what what one of the first things we'll do is uh... get rid of the uh... patriot act and then the sunday before the election he reaches down and unclicks the chain and that dog on the chain known as axelrod ran out there and said on sunday morning before the tuesday election for the president said that, well I think we're going to keep that Patriot Act because we might need it. And as you pointed out many times Mark, you know, they did that on Sunday morning when a lot of good people are in church and a whole bunch of other people are sleeping off Saturday night. You know, you voted for Obama because you thought he might get rid of the Patriot Act. Well apparently you missed that Sunday morning, right? And then here today, the 30th day of March 2017, so what's that? You know, eight years plus later. Oh, and the election, eight and a half years later now, he comes out and talks about how the Trump administration is so unorganized that they can't do what they say they're going to do. Trying to do something that you say you're going to do is worse, is probably better, rather, saying you're going to do something and saying you're going to do something and then all of a sudden just saying you're not going to do it. I'll leave that up to you. You can make your own choice on that. I'm here till the bottom. Oh, very good. And again for everybody out there, it is, well, it's Thursday already. Does it seem like it should be Thursday already? Me. I'll tell you what, days have been busy. Real quick, because it is raining, we're going to see flooding, high water points. I'm sure they've got the barriers up in the middle of the county here. Our coal barts are doing their job, and our drainage ditches are doing their job. Right now we have a little water barrier between us and the south 40, down the edge of the south 40, so that's kind of cool. Like I said, can't get to anything over here without going splish splish to the Michigan rice paddies. Break out the rubber boots though in the muck boots if you get a chance. Don't forget to have those ready. If you're in anywhere around the country where you have a tractor supply, guys, tractor supply does the quarter End of the quarter, we've got to change the inventory sales. Better clearance sales non-stop. We've talked about engineer and pioneer equipment to have on board your vehicle. Right now, they've got bolt cutters for about $5 a pair. They've got pin guides with either ratchet or variable head, like a crescent wrench type head. On the one end, a pin guide handle made out of solid, you know, Ford steel. These are really, really handy. Any time you get a time to put a rees hitch on, you know, you got to quite make it. The pin guide is tapered in the handle. The whole handle is a guide. So you can turn it around and shove that in there and jiggle those holes so that those two pieces of metal line up. Then you run your lock pin through the way you're supposed to. Also, if you're running a bolt through, guess what? It's got a ratchet with two different size ratchets, one on each side. of the head of the device and typically they've got a hammer built into them, a hammer head for tapping. All the things you typically need if you're back there in the rear end of the vehicle, it's raining like it is right now, you're trying to hook up a trailer, you're getting wet, you're not happy, right? Ah, I gotta go grab a hammer sucker, doesn't want to quite go in. Everything's on board these things and they're running as little as three something a piece. I bought three of them Last year at this time for $1.95 a piece. Now these suckers, you can't even, there's not one part of this you could make for that. But this is China Sport, you know, where they're flooding the market here in America. Well... These are throwaway items, but they're not really throwaway. They're items that when you use them, you use them well. They're really handy when it's a combo tool. Any time if you're going to have an engineer kit, when you can make every tool do something, you know, more than one thing, that's especially valuable. Okay, it's kind of like a little baby Swiss Army Knife concept. In this case, the with the variable head wrench and little hammer mallet surface, or with the ratchet head and the hammer mallet surface and then the pin guide making up the handle. You can also get a cheater bar on there. If you've got that thing set up and you're using the, you have to use that for, say, taking off lug nuts. The nice thing about it, it's got a natural tapered handle. It's made out of forged steel. It's going to handle the torque. It's not going to snap on you easily. You can get that extra oomph going with that extra leverage by throwing on that three-quarter inch pipe. that you also keep in your engineer kit to give you that extra how many more inches of, oh, Mr. Leverage. Okay. A lot of other tools, but sockets, for instance, right now. Bunch of stuff like this. Get a set of the larger size socket sets for $3, $4, $5 a set. Orange camouflages what they were pushing this last season guys actually this is a holdover almost from last hunting season And this is the this is the 30-day forgive me the 90-day mark for the first quarter So they're moving this because they got more stuff coming in in fact in many cases They're marking this down and the exact same product coming in the door for 12 $14 apiece $20 apiece, whatever Take advantage of this. All of your tactical vehicles, every one of your vehicles are normally in sale. You can afford that. Guys, you can buy three or four for the price of one right now. Every one of your vehicles should have these pioneer tools in them. One time that you use those bolt cutters. No, they're not the high end bolt. I'm going to tell you right off the bat, they're China Sport Bolt Cutters. But if they do one job and it saves somebody's life, Rather than you trying to chew on a piece of metal because somebody's got something stuck in their arm and they're jammed into a wreck and the wreck's on fire and you need to get somebody away from that. Well, it would be kind of handy to go snip just once and get that piece of rod that's still stuck in them but now they're not in the vehicle and you can pull them out and get them out of the way or whatever. Or you can dispose of whatever it is, disconnect whatever it is, not by trying to unplug it, you just cut it. Whatever the hell it is that's messed up, remember whatever possible, if you can cut through it, it's a safety tool. It's a utility tool. You forgot the keys. You've got two trailers that need to move because there's a standoff taking place. Now, we don't have flame wrenches, but we do have a pair of bolt cutters. And for that matter, some of you may have a small set of oxy-setylene tanks with you. You can buy them in the store. They don't have to do a lot, but if they can do one cut before they run out of gas, Yeah, might save your life or save somebody else's life if you're in a fighting situation You need that trailer with that ammo or you need that tactical trailer that's loaded up with everything needed to you know Go in and resupply a group you made a mistake. You're a little behind schedule time to break out the alternate tools So these are pioneer tools. Definitely. They've got they've got little sledgehammers all kinds of stuff You can actually go right down the shopping list of what they have sitting there on the lion's share of it You want to put into a kit? that you can throw in the back end of that car, the back end of that tactical truck, the back end of that van, and it's on board when you need it. Here's the other thing, it's not the most expensive. You're not going to cry if something happens to it. Now this is where I always hear, oh I can't do that because it calls so much. Well, this is the stuff you put where just in case you need it you got it, but if you lost it, you're not going to cry. I prefer not losing anything. But if you're, you know, logic is, well somebody could steal it or something. Well, you know what? Oh well, I guess they got the China support tool of their dream. Yep. Oh well. Meanwhile, my SKs are locked up. Right? So, as it is, again, ideas not just complaining about the problems, also keep an eye on the big lawns, places like that. Now, the new thing is really funny. When they had Christmas, they were selling all the light bars, the LED strands, whatever. And now the big thing is to have those for your summer back porch parties. So, yeah, so what you gotta watch, because they've already started bringing that stuff in right after Christmas. Big Lot is like a lot of these other places, they're letting the computer run them. We've got strings, in fact I'm looking at one right here, I've got a solar powered LED light. Light string, we paid like a dollar something for the fancier one. LED light strings or LED strands in the cable guide like they used to use in the theaters, the emergency lighting. 50 cents, a dollar something, a strand. $3 for the most expensive and that's like 20 feet long. Guys, there's your underground tunnel lighting where the time comes. Remember those bunkers we were talking about making? Or those chambers using the really cool spas? Well, you need some LED lighting. There you go. Again, watch for this stuff. When they're doing it, they're doing it in waves. They've now learned or decided to do like sliding scales. Today it's 10% off. Tomorrow 20, next day 30, next day 50, next day 90% off. Yeah, but you've rolled the dice. Whether it's somebody else or a little, yeah, it's before you. Because to a certain point we'll just say, oh hell, buy them all. Yep. Because we do the same thing. So that's where the heck you said, you gotta roll the dice. You gotta decide what it is you're gonna spend your money and how much. We're at the top of the house, gonna be with us when we come back. God bless the Republic. We shall prevail ladies and gentlemen the Empire is on the run, but we are on the march of day and night. Hoorah! We'll be back right here in a few minutes. Dining number for night vision. The web pages take us out, sir. Death number is 331796-8458.
