He took off his three-cornered hat and speaking low to me, he said, We fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free, of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken snumber and 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 the family farm 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 leave. 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 and each god given right. And pray to god keep the torch of freedom bright. As Iowoke vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each god given right, we only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, Dil the Land of the Frick? other stuff that, well, when people were copywriting and when they were patenting things and when they were doing all kinds of records, it passed. How much of it posted the agreement? In one case, what is it, 60-1923, 1911? And they all, wait a minute, there's that crazy math formula that supposedly Ollie Einstein put forward. So I wonder, hmm, was it in the copywriter? Which patent office could the- oh my goodness! This is why we discuss. Side knows what we're talking about. I've already now just did it. Well, this is golf on and you're doing whatever. People that are like mine hitting you so you can't do it. I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy. See, that's how they are. Okay. Apologizing to your enemies for existing sounds really stupid. I'm talking about coins. If you're, if you're to the things that I'm seeing with ring out there with the bad guy, here's how it works. That's the 10M9 gas mask. Does it except, oh by the word, that long-term, you know, prior product, we're truly believed that you're not from the black market. You might want to go back and recollect what happened to More if you think you want to get north away. However, like we just saw with these banks, they're selling you gas and you see this with stores. If you got wands or change, we're kind of... Everything's locked up. It's Sunday. We need more. We need more if you can help us. Imagine that on steroids. Yep, catch. Can I jump in here real quick, please? Yeah. Go ahead. There's two items that I'd like to bring to you that Southern Ohio Gags on sale, $6.95. $20 or more. Five. Magazine. It's an AR-5th magazine. Black. Looks like it's just a plastic one. They got them severely discounted right now to $4.95. Just on the front page of their home page is where I found it at. Pull down below. It's AR-15 ones. Okay, it's right beside it, right across. Give you the number. It's an SKU. It takes 20 of them to buy the $5.95 price. Paper rolled for $3.00 on the deal that you just shooting .com 15 bandoliers. You know, with just the sewing machine. Yes. What I've done is I've purchased bandoliers years and years ago and I just copied it's what I did except I used velcro on the flaps instead of a snap and 50 cents of a gun things now I do fudge a little bit because how to make a bandol of the defense military magazine appears do not work with PMAGs because the PMAG has a wider base and you can't it's two magazines together inside the pouch and and be able to close the flap so what I did is added five to my overall length of my material. So now I can close, uh, T-Mags in my band of leers. It'll cost me $3.50 a piece to make them. These magazines for $4.95, that's the cheapest country right now. Those Plinker magazines, those are the magazines you train with. Those are the magazines that if you wear it out or they burn it, you know, then save your good magazines, uh... you know, when your life depends on it, sort of. Exactly. One of the other things, too, remember is if something does break, remember you've still got a magazine spring. You've got a base from us, the mag. Remember, you put it in your clunker box. Down the road, another mag, different. You take the two, assemble them, and there's serviceable mag back. Yeah, this is something that use up when they're farther away, use up to finally drop all that extra junk and thing a tad more interesting. Well, guess what? Now you're from the mag out of the front bit rig to your weapon. quick thing here if you don't mind please. You know you made a comment about like you know if you're on a breakout situation where you're going to be dropping mags to save that second. You know the truth is you can make a magazine dump pouch out of a pant leg. Oh yeah. And all of this is just a little list a little bag you know no pair of blue jeans. My wife sometimes doesn't understand you know questions why I cut all my blue jeans up and save the pant legs. Well you sew two of them together and you got a gun sock. But you can take a pant leg and sew the end of it together and then flip it over and put a little drawstring on it and make just a little loop that fits on a belt. And what you have now is a magazine dump pouch just as a way to dump your empty magazines as you're, you know, moving through. And that's a really low cost way to create something just using scrap and something that's already kind of durable and ready to go. It's just a matter of sewing a couple of ends on. Or you've got a building. That's why we took people who are going to another part of the country. They're not anything with them. That's all going, that's all going, that's going. Useful for another, in another totally different environment. Totally different. Even, even things like simple, soft, you know, you can make a lot of things out of blue jean material. You know, they may not be a tactical color, but you know, if you're in an escape and evasion process, you don't necessarily want to be in woodland camo. You know, something that, you know, you always talk about, well, if you just don't have nothing. Well, if you've got some old torn up clothes that you can't repair, or can't continue to patch up, think about making dump bags, think about making ditty bags, think about making soft-sided... All of this stuff can be made with some of the stuff that you have on hand. If you actually look at what some of the Kurds and some of the fighters are using within the Middle East, they're using some very low-end, unsophisticated equipment, and some of it's just stuff that they've on hand. Yeah, look at the web gear some of the time. You better take a little cake. You know what a cardigan, that big headscarf that they use over there? I've actually seen people tie cardigans to where they make a backpack like a shoulder bag. And you know, we think that we have to have the greatest and best stuff. If we get into any type of battle of attrition, I mean literally, if we're down to the close in the back and a few rounds of ammunition, we're going to have to use whatever we can scratch. and scavenge up and finding news. A little bit of ingenuity can go an extremely long way. But I think we're going to have to adapt along those lines. Now, years ago, I contacted the Wright Dye Company and asked them if they had a formula for a, you know, like a dark green or a camo green. And, you know, something like an OD green or a camo green. And they told me if I took their blue and their dark green and camo green, combine those together, I would create a forest green. Forest green is about ammo green. You know, if you've got something that's faded, you can always just buy your own equipment. Resuscitate it. Finding out if you lose a new one, which, here's where they started doing your manuals from fixing whatever is the, you know, nobody else, not many in the country, doing overseas, close your eyes and say, now if you can come up with, you probably read it a hundred times. They were telling you what they like right now and you needed to come. In fact, I got kind of coming down and they're all fermented and they're hitting the road and it looks like where that tree went, I finally realized that I'm getting more trees like, oh, going through my brain pad, what am I looking at here? Because when it first hits, this stuff has a ruddy brown red, like, okay, I never heard of that. Just when you read through it, think about that. You've given, you've been probably three months, but one time you told me about a homemade bandolier that was being made by some, someone up in Michigan, and you sent me to a video to look at it. What you had there looked like a 12 ounce sailcloth M81 Chinese type chest rig for your loader and your oil. Just gave me an ideal about the walnut hulls. You know most snow type camouflage gear isn't pearly white. That means you could literally take and make a chest rig like that and take a couple of walnut hulls and just randomly rub them in there in a couple of places. And beat it! I have a neighbor one time took an old shotgun next to me. and put leaves and laid it on it, painted it, and people thought it was some kind of custom phone. Check it out, give me a night.

Guys, there's all kinds of stuff you never know what's gonna show on the line during the range fires, guys, during the live fires. Muzzle Blast magazine, you written about this 12 years ago. Well, it's in that walnut juice, but it works good as it's in the wild. The example, you know, hey. A few of them, but he likes to wear a keg. Well, one of the things I pointed out, if it's not the right shade, what we're discussing here about culture when we were picking up from Toronto, can $95. match anything you'd see as a normal military. Just something to think about there when you're looking at fate or if you've got a bunch. Just let it wash. It's off of one laptop and you can use these laptop cameras and plug them right into the USB and there's a video on it. I saw that actually. It's showing where you're cannibalizing the cameras off of. Right. And you can find them early cheap because of the people re-encycling or tearing apart and selling those parts online so you can find them there too. The other thing is, won't you be making a fire piston by putting your AR-15 into a wooden butt? I wonder why my cheek's getting warm and then I'm spelling walnut burning. I'm twisting because, think about P-44, 44 was a wooden stock with no lining, no tube lining. It was just that what they did to the wooden stock. Ever heard about a stock kick? The other thing is, what about making one of those shaker flash-like battery charging devices with that buffer tube moving back and forth? Could you charge some devices? No! Hopefully it's that sound. But no, that's not wrong. You have to get energy in another way. It's impossible. And as you're marching around, you'd be generating some electricity too for your night vision and stuff like that when you're not firing it. A jiggle work. Yeah. The last thing I have is everybody needs to look around and they need to have discretion on how they spend their money. Right now, a lot of the banks, there's a couple of them are offering up to $200 back, a credit card for instance, you get $200 back if you spend $500. And the discretion is, only buy what you have money to pay off. And there's some really good credit card offers. Also, one of the banks, if you have direct deposit like Social Security, something like that, they're offering $200 for you to switch to them. So there's a discount for buying your gold and silver and stuff like that. So check out the deals at the banks and the credit cards and at the most, some of them you only have to keep the card for six months and there's extra points. But if they're giving you a bonus like $200 for spending $500 in three months, I mean, shoot, I'm gonna be buying a rifle with it. Get extra $200 off of that. Yeah. Oh no, by the time you're done, hell, that's half of it. Yeah, and if you're looking at buying some property, one place, you know, you spend $3,000, they're going to give you $600. So if you're going to buy property anyway, $3,000, you might as well take that $300 and put it towards the rifle and stuff. So that is our silver or whatever, you know. But check book around, guys, and you'll be able to shave a little more money off your best buys and discounts by getting a credit card and just use your discretion and don't go hog wall and spend more on your got. And that's it for number four. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Appreciate that. No deals going on. I'm from the one end. Grie, were you benefit, careful, and have a plan? As we've said, always every disk for some of the cool things that were brought up in the in the conference. One place, we can spend those dollars in another and now you're that much better. Patience real quick, we're at past the company, but DX for bundle buys. Several, we all know what's going on. We could kill more China bops. We got some great church doors here. The average one is a lot bigger than that because it handles both the... And it was like you were carrying a little What did you need in that mobile office? Oh, that way, more armor. And then pockets on the outside with more armor. So if you're really smart, you take the side where you have the armored bag and you get yourself a piece of coat foam or, or, frinkly foam. You know the kind where you don't have to cut it out? It has all the draggetty from one end to the other. You take two pieces of that and you put one on the one side, put it on the other. You don't have to use two of the same thing we're talking about here. And you take those, you make, you figure out what you want to fit in that. And you map bundle bag. At least for what'll fit in that bag size. How's that sound? I'm up with a random number. I have room for the antenna to be on there. It goes in there. And then I need to store chargers until I need to use them. Oh look it, I've got all this other space and egg. And then I decided, like Mark told you to do, why look, I've got here with little slips and I... Three, four, five, six, isn't that a little pouch? Or for your power cord, which you're not gonna record some more on that in a minute. I nubby antennas for a junker. I went to a yard sale and I found some more of those barges in there. And I've got my time I'm done in my little computer bag. I have a... and I can get another one to do the same and I can get another one to do the same and I go, oh wow! This is like a little combat package. In fact, if I do sets of radios, although it would be ideally I need what? I want to go, what do I do? Fibrate internally. It's in there, which by the way, once I start charging things, those are one using the kits and the other radio bag, the signal communication, this one color. It's got the yellow, yeah. Uh, if you could, very quickly, and that was a request, as we know, Doc, this is a music request from that direction, so. Here we go, we're gonna have burn. Taking my place for a minute. We'll be back. Vigilance and the Balfaun radios. It doesn't have to be a Balfaun radio. There's some of you who use old motorolas, old G's. I wanna make sure you have a decent set of Reddit moles. I wish him the best. Yeah, I know I've got a... The only number you mean, the phone number, you hold it on? So it's Y-D-T-O-E. It's websites. 231-796. Phone technology. Much cleaner, stronger across the board. Problem with a lot of the phone. 34. Spade most to the top. Pretty well... Well, what are you supposed to be doing? rather than, you know, sift it around or try to figure out what, what, you have a utility up one section, need to work with the... Now you've got your send button as a key comes in there, code, that's right. We'll take the story of this and we'll run with that puppy. Why it is you need...
