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 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 and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free, the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to 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. Taking Satan's 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 the family farm. and keep our country deep and dead. 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'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, 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 to torture freedom burning bright. As I awoke he'd vanished in the mist from whence he came His words were true, not free But we have ourselves to blame For even now his tyrants trampled each God-given rite We only watch him 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? Still the land of the freedoms called Callers are muted and they can unmute themselves. And gentlemen, this is the intelligence report. Our party is here to victory for all brothers, actors, behind the lines in occupied territories, southwest, central. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on thetreeradio.4mg.com, also on AMIC and micro stations, CB stations, and ultra. and Golden Spike Technologies west of the Mississippi, afternoon and evening to all of our friends way out there on the western side of the country. I still have to remember what you guys are. You're four hours behind us. West of the nation, 49 to include the lower with the regard to the Central Union. Evening for most of you. The Civ, which is the border, the Fars, in other words, the BS, it's going on just like it always has. Organized crime in Washington and organized crime in hyphen Tel Aviv pushing opium on America the southern border to vomit out of the country of course the outlying states and territories along with the 24-hour clock some of you are getting up early and going oh Mark's on the radio and in the summer going oh Mark's still on the radio and they're staying up late and then there's a bunch of you're just fortunate you're in the right place right time you turn hit the switch and you're here with us during this broadcast hour It is clear and it is going to get up here in the heights of Michigan tomorrow, but if it is, I don't know where it's coming from and I don't see it even on the horizon. In fact, it's looking like it did all. You can see it for a Milky Way is dominant. You know, anything is, we got a bright moon tonight, of course. So, well, if you get caught up, we'll see it on the horizon before it gets here with the moon and lunar activity. And for all of you that are listening again, today's date is the 17th of October. It is the 10th year of Open Stadium socialist in Soviet Socialist occupation of America with a K 2018 old earth calendar 2018 year of conflict Europe storm and this is a benchmark date for those who may not have heard already during the day Donald betcher Yankee D has passed away this afternoon it was a very good fight that he put up just the physical problems that he had He was thinking of all of you, every step of the way, and again, what he could do. He was a guy who was hands-on, and he definitely was a highly motivated patriot, great guy, as we've said, a gentle giant, in the patriot effort. And he is gone now. We'll take him down the stairs of his new house that we just built, I mean, literally just built, and we're able to walk him down him. He only used him once, that was to leave here. Again, for everyone, Don Betcher has passed away. If you would like to send cards or letters, you can do that by sending it to Debbie Etcher, D-O-E-T-D-C-H-E-R, or Deb, D-E-B, if you want to just use Deb. 21890, 21890 220th Avenue, 338. Again, that's Debbie and Donald, if you'd like to address with, you know, Don, he's here in our hearts and minds. and Debbie Metcher, B-O-E-T-T-C-H-E-R 21890 220th Avenue 338. Debbie Bet-90 220th Avenue 338. For everybody in the family, we've had many friends that stopped by. I want to say thank you again for those that I might have missed during the day because you weren't able to listen, but you listen typically to the 8 o'clock program. Thank you for stopping up and assisting in all different ways. For some of our friends that were just able to stop in and passing, and of course the logic was that they'd be back tomorrow because we had a little bit of a get-together that was planned. That may be changing and I really can't even tell you at this moment Debbie is beside herself right now and rightly so because this is a double hit for her. And we're trying to make some of the other decisions, need a little bit of a leeway, a little break so we can get everything organized. And we will let everybody know in the morning and in the afternoon about the get together in remembrance of Don. Still have to make full funeral arrangements. We do not have that complete obviously. Don did prepare in several ways. Way before this thing became apparent. Good thing in that he already been planning ahead just to make sure it would be less of a burden. That's how he was with everything that he did. Trying to be less of a burden of everybody else around him. Especially his wife. that is something we still have to go through all the administrative work that's Debbie's gonna have to, but she's gonna need some help because right now she is rather overwhelmed. Where everybody's pitching in however they can. I wanna thank you to all of our local Patriot ladies who were bringing food over and helped to feed the helpers and the family and pitch in however they could. We've had Patriots out there that helped clear the wood here and clear the land. A lot of you guys, you know who you are. We had a lot of ladies that cooked meals and dropped them by and want to impose on the situation But they did help many hands make for life work all of that assistance was greatly appreciated God bless each and every one of you for your help in whatever way for support and what Debbie would like to say thank you to all of you is what you who offered prayers and Those were felt Don would say the same thing. I will point out Don never wavered in this state in fact We understood full well that you know there's a point at which we don't get to choose and it happens. And we do everything we can. We're gonna fight, we'll fight, we'll try to beat the odds. But again, if it does happen, we have to accept that. We need to work with it. So there's a lot of great people out there that are stepping forward to get changed. I'm very happy with pretty much all the work that was done even today. We were right in the middle of the process of finishing some of the other elements of the house up for Don and Deb. But even with all of us having to deal with this, it hit kind of an unexpected window. I guess that's the best way to describe it. I think we lost Don last night. We were helping him with some of the things that had to be done. And Joe called out. I came in and grabbed Don. They actually were holding Don up. and we had no vitals. But for whatever reason, as I pulled him up and stood him up, system, we finally got a pulse moving again for, you know, you hear weenis here a little bit longer with us. And I gotta say also, Joe Hobart did a phenomenal job. He was very, very professional, even though he wasn't, he's not a professional. He's not a nurse, but I'll tell you what, there's any other I've seen. Because of him and other individuals that were here we were able to go 24 hours non-stop for the last several days. Repeat, repeat, repeat. All of us were having to deal with certain problems and I think also clothes were changing, you know, the things and such that need to be dealt with so much. Of course where the subtle point is that it's now we're in a dead point literally that he's cast away but you know you're in that blank point afterwards where all of this work was just just was very intense. The noise is, this is not the first time in the last three, four years a week, dealt with this type of situation. And there's some of you people listening, our friends have dealt with the exact same situation with other good friends who are not going to the exact same way. A lot of work and it takes a lot out of everybody in the process. So just had a part of our tag team leave, another group in fact, are down the road only an hour away. They're going to be showing up. I've got security here. I want to say thank you to the We're doing militia corps, putting troops on the ground here. We're patrolling right now. We actually just have some security going on because we know how the enemy works. And the guys who I've been told, we actually have confrontation. I don't have any problem dealing with this the way we need to kill. Everybody is ready for that. And thermal technology. So these guys are all thermal the night vision up right now. Also keep an eye on the homestead down south the same way as well. I said, hey, thank you to Jonathan and the crew who are doing security around our property too. And again, if we catch up, on the ground. Just keep around long enough for that to come and talk to them and we'll find out who sent them. This will be their case. We hunt them. Another statement again I made during the tour of Boca de la Rida again. We're going to reorganize the first company. In fact it's going to be the Don Venture Company with the Raiders. Because of that there's going to be a ceremony where I'm going to talk to Nancy. We're going to after you know construct a new unit flag and it's going to be the Don Venture Company. So that's part of the ceremony we've done in the past. Of course, we have the Don White Company for one of our friends who suffered the same illness and went through the same process that we just did with Don. And the guy is in northern Jackson County, did a great honor. I talked to them. They knew him for a long time. He actually trained a lot of the young men. They're handsome dudes. Now those guys are growing up. They're teaching other people and they've built a militia that's pretty like a militia company. 183 men and women. medical support, their infantry, they have mechanized, they're very well armed, they're very well trained, and a lot of what Don taught them, Don White taught them, sank in, and then they've gone beyond their teacher's expertise, and they're now their masters of... So there's an example of a tiny effect people have. Our Don Betcher, Don, and we've got a lot of Don's past, but Don Betcher, the same thing. There's the young 10 men here just found out. very, you know, kind of upset. You're not used to this. Don was a teacher to a lot of people. A couple of guys up here, he taught them a lot. They're actually in competition fighting. They just found out that one of their mentors, their significant instructors, you know, that put them on the path, is Don. He was ill because he'd been out of state. So this is happening a lot. This is a surprise. But it's all the different people that Don have been through touched. He's always a good teacher, he's always been a great guy to talk to, sit down with, enjoy having a great time with him, and get persnickly on occasion, everybody does. Again, like I told the guys today, all the other guys, hey, the best thing you can do is honor him by, again, reminding everybody who it is that taught you once in a while. Well that's something I have to talk to someone about because we were in the lurch on something there and I've got to make sure that it's taken care of. We had an individual who just, you know, effective stuff is here right now. So I think I'll have that, it'll be passed on either tomorrow or the next day because we've got a lot of different militia units that we're acquiring technology from, you know, from Dunn. And the other thing is I still have to talk to the people he was dealing with at the other end for him. We were kind of looking at, okay, what is it we still have to do to close all of the doors there and dealing with the companies that manufacture. And he didn't want to leave them an alert or a few things we needed to get back to them. There was some information that they needed because he was constantly in contact with these people. And actually, guys, a lot of what is in the night vision technology A lot of the little things that we talked about on the air, we actually influenced the companies that were building. It was rather interesting, but that's because Don would sit down for hours on end with these people. And he would go back and forth and mull over some of the stuff that we'd actually reviewed. The Colonial Marine Militia that's here up in the northern part of the state, the 11th, Don had worked with at different times. And because of that, they field tested a lot of equipment. which is now not just being carried by infantry, but where we have mechanized, we've integrated all that technology and they provided us with the machinery to do it. We could figure out what works best. So good things, a lot of great things happening. And some of this stuff is gonna save people's lives. We get into a war, we have to fight. Some of the stuff that Don Betcher's done is already in place to save people's lives and keep us in business, keep us on the task. So we will not forget him. There's so many other things that I know we can do, but you know, there's only so much time of the day we're going to have to settle on certain points and focus on them. I was hoping to get more of Don's image in the can for another video, but we've had so many things that have pulled away days or weeks from our schedule, well, what we were hoping to do as opposed to what we had to do. right here right now. There's other things that, you know, there's a dozen other things probably need to be accomplished. But the most important thing we need to accomplish is to be where we are right now. And again, I want to thank all the guys that are ready to shoot someone, signing if they've messed around with my, you know, downstate with our people for the same reason that we have people sitting here right now. They're warm enough and comfortable, but we know how the bad guys act. That's why we're getting ready to deal with them. In fact, if we were to get hold of them right now, I think they would be very pleasurable. Hello? Hey Mark, I know it's not weapons-intensive, but this is an honor of Dom. I'm your security officer. And as a matter of fact, exactly how it should be, everybody must have the same attitude, should have the same attitude. Now, we don't have any of Dom. When he do that, heavy weapons wouldn't have a member of that. Yep, that's another thing. Most people don't realize exactly what kind of a master shooter he was with a .50. But guys, he worked with some of the top riflemen in the country, actually formed the .50 caliber, you know, mechanism that everybody knows today in terms of competition or whatever. The guys that laid the groundwork and determined the rules and, you know, how things are going to be set up. And Don had a lot of fun with that and I wish we could have gotten him even, you know, more often out on the range, out with these guys, because he traveled the country a bit. Edward traveled with him a little. More than though, actually, they did a couple of excursions together. And I just now, we just now, in the last hour, again, the word spreading. We just heard from some of the guys way out west at one of the 50 caliber ranges and, you know, manufacturers, and they sent their condolences. So, you know, there's a lot of people. The night vision kind of overlapped into the 50 caliber, you know, your experience. I was wanting to get him in a situation where he could just see how far can you hit that? How far out can you go to hit that target? Let's see what we can do. There's some places out west I wish we could have sent him and we should have. I mean this is where you'll, you know, it's out of regret because hey we did what we could do. Great bunch of people we've written with, wouldn't trade him guys. We're gonna go to break, we're gonna be right back here at bottom of the art break. All of them by the way, of his father. Most people don't know that. And it was what he did was basically his dad's favorite hymns and tunes and the music that he grew up with. So that was the reason for him actually recording that piece and many others that are part of that album. So history there. I spoke with him and he was putting that album together and spent a little time with him on the road in many, many different parts of the country. We had a lot of interesting conversations. Not too long, depending on how much time we had, because again, once you're out there, you're in a speaking engagement environment where you're talking to people, everybody takes a piece of your time, and everybody was starting to realize what kind of a phenomenal artist the Patriot Movement had here, and this gentleman that stepped forward, that was Steve Boss, not was, but is Steve Boss, okay? So again, we just passed the bottom of the hour in case any of you came in late. And again, I want to remind you today is the 17th of October. It is the year 2018. We will remember this with honor for the day that Donald Betcher passed this mortal coil. He will be here today in the afternoon. And as quickly as we could, we began informing people and all of you of the chain of information, the ways and tools we have, we're able to get the message out. I would ask you to help me with something here. I don't care who you are, don't just assume, even if somebody else did it, I don't care. I want you to, this is something you can do. If you go to Google, and let's see if they mess this up, or they might, I mean, the enemy's listening all the time, and when they realize we're gonna use them as a useful tool, they don't like that, okay? But if you go to Google and you search Donald Betcher, B-O-E-T-T-C-H-E-R, yep, there's gonna be pictures showing up with Don in there. Some of them, like the one where you see the flags and there's a trailer for a podium, that was at Frank Stasa's, Camp Stasa, a militia training facility, and that was a Patriot rally. Edward, Nancy, Don, many other people that you know in the Patriot effort were there. and there's an excellent picture there with Don in the foreground and it's actually a good piece of photography, guys. It is complimentary and typical of the style, you know, how you might run into Don when he was out there, you know, amongst the Patriots moving about. So there's a picture you can pull and post along with a memorial. Donald Betcher has passed away today on the 17th of October 2018. a fellow patriot, a warrior, a good fan, and post that everywhere you can. Twitter, Facebook, Google, I don't care, anywhere, everywhere, Pinterest, anywhere you can, do that for me, please. I don't care if somebody else has done it. It only takes you a minute to pull a picture down, to make up a quick file, and then post it in the social media everywhere that you can, please. Now the reason I bring it up is because that's not the only picture you're going to find of Don if you're always wondering what Don looks like or, gee, I'm curious, I hear the heard the voice but I don't get a good image. There are a number of pictures with Don and myself together. That's how you can figure out when you see him by himself who he is. That's when we were speaking down in Texas. In fact, there are several images of Don up there that you can use. Do a little collage. Or just pick one and blow it up to a really big size so it's easier to figure out who that good looking guy is there, that barbarian. Really cool dude. And say something in your own words, please. That's the best thing that you could do tonight. I mean, unless, again, we're going to give you the information now so you can write a card and, you know, or a letter to Debbie. She's kind of the sole survivor here now with what happened. Her son, of course, passed away here. while we were attending to Don and so at first she lost her son just a short day ago and then she lost Don today. So this is a hard one. It's something you get in your text but we'll make sure she's okay. There's other friends here, really close, good people there, stepping up to first of all, like I said, let's do Don Betcher honor in every way we can and let's be joyful about this because he was a great man, a great warrior, just a regular guy. Nicest regular guy, you want to sit across the kitchen table, follow him, have a cup of coffee, and I can talk and forget what time it is, and before you know it, it's three in the morning, and you still aren't really worried about that. The guy was fun guy to be around, neat guy to be around, unique guy person to have around. He was just cool, okay? And if you would like to, if you would like to pitch in another way, it's not a big thing, but it's big for the people at this end and for Debbie. If you would send a card or a letter to Don and Debbie Betcher, Don and Debbie Betcher, B-O-E-T-T-C-H-E-R 21890 220th Avenue 49338. Again, that's Don and Debbie Betcher, B-O-E-T-T-C-H-E-R. I know he's gone, but he's not. Okay, this is Mr. Betcher's home. And 21890 220th Avenue, Michigan 49338. One more time, that's Don and Debbie Betcher, B-O-E-T-T-E-C-H-E-R 21890 220th Avenue, Michigan 13, oh, you know, full, tired, 9338. Not that tired, we're going to act together. Anyway, hold on. I'll take you to patrol to the east. Just take that with you. Okay. Anyway, as it is, again, for everybody out there, if you can send a card or a letter, take the time and do that. And it's your choice. Again, you personal discretion, figure out what it is you want to say. There's a lot of other friends that are, again, going to be here. We just had some of our friends leave. I know we've got people that are already on the way. Some are just down the road. Some are right here amongst us. And what we're going to be doing is making sure if there's anything that she needs or anything that needs to be done here, it's taken care of. We still have to. We will announce the funeral service information the moment we have it. I'll pass it on to Ed. And we'll start passing down through the social media too to all of our many, many friends out there. For Tom P, you want to say thank you. Appreciate, again, your support. Also Dave and the crew and all the rest of the gangs out there that are you know, well, they didn't expect it some of course hadn't heard completely what was going on and They kind of ripple through the system real fast. I'm not being overwhelmed or anything In fact, everybody's being very courteous as is typically the case with our friends in the Patriot effort That's the wonderful thing about the group of people we have there with us guys that ride with us Everybody is on the same page. So again, a great fellow Patriot has passed away Donald Petcher Don Yankidi, bet you're. And I'll tell you what, Ed, if you want some pickin' up... I'll tell you what Don loved also. This is one of the many songs by Steve Voss. Steve Voss' rendition of The First Pangled Banner. And I know why. Because if you've ever been up here in this neck of the woods and you watch a sunrise or a sunset where it's just the air is so clean and these... You know what? The well that he has, this is the water that Nestle's is stealing, guys. Couldn't ask for a better glass of water out of the well at Dom's house. And in fact, let's put it this way, you pay money for it. The water you get, I can already. And it's not filtered, there's nothing. It is the finest well water you could possibly pull out of the ground. But we'll raise a glass again in memory of him here tonight still. Just wondering or whatever somebody's drinking here and there'll be some people that'll be here a little later and I'm sure that they're gonna raise a beer to him or again there again had a few other things to say but he loved the song because it's just the way you could probably imagine if you've ever been on a ship Don was Don was a diver by the way, you know why I mean mention that you know Don was a qualified stupid diver guys very qualified We had done it quite some time because, of course, so many other things to do. In fact, I've been collecting diving gear for him. I've got tanks, all kinds of new equipment, by the way, that other people are getting rid of. And I was hoping that this last year, this last summer, which has passed, that we'd get him in the water. And of course, timing is everything. So many other things piled up on us, and some of those having to do with health issues. So he was a very competent diver. But one of the things he talked about is, you know, when you listen to the Steve Voss version of the Star Spangled Banner, understand how quiet it is to be on a sailing ship, sitting there, off, you know, a sailing ship. Not a motorboat, guys. A sailing ship. And that's the feel that he got from listening. Everybody said the same thing, though. They have experience like that. That's the feel you get. Steve Voss captured that. So, Ed, if you could, Star Spangled Banner by Steve Voss, and we'll play it before we get to the top here so everybody can hear it again. And always, Don got really quiet when he listened to that, too. He would stop and listen to this song. Again, heads up on that. If you'd like to call in, jump in there, guys. Does anybody else like to make any comments or any memorials? Again, Don Betcher. And again, the gang for the crew up here. Again, Right now everybody's just kind of quiet. I mean like when they find out it's the same thing you don't know what to say. And of course first thing is to try to console Debbie and then we tell them about what's happened here in the last couple days and then they have to step back. And because they have a hit. But they don't leave. Some people would bulk it. You know having to deal with something like that. They don't do that. None of you guys have. Good call. Good way. We appreciate that. We're at 846. Well, let's see, what else should I cover? I guess one of the things we were discussing this morning, we've got the Mariachi convoy that's coming from Central America, and it went all the way through Mexico, and it's heading from the U.S. border. It's like, yeah, you know, yawn, I wonder what they're going to do? Nothing. They're going to let them cross. They're going to get over here, they're going to suck off your Social Security and screw everybody. It's the big plan. It's a great distraction. The worthless turds in Washington are just that, worthless turds. The big spying industry that's rat on America. We already have socialism in the United States. It's called the US government. The way it is right now, it's not our government. It's the corporate government. The socialists are already there. It's just that they want to go the next step to the other element of Fabian or Soviet socialism, the way that they planned and screwing us the rest of the way. So that's not a surprise. I would remind everybody there was ever a comment about dealing with the problem. There are a couple things that could be done. I will remind everybody. I had an extensive conversation on this whole thing about the idea of the Minuteman Project. Just put it this way, there are some people who are in the shooting circles, especially that have businesses, some that deal in optics that would even provide material to the Patriot Movement if they were willing to go down to the border. And not a small amount either. There's a lot of other Americans who understand that the betrayal from all what's going on with the border goes right to Washington and beyond to foreigners destroying, you know, from within and without destroying our country. And Don had already been in conversation with a couple of these companies and they were already stating that they would be willing to, if not give, they could loan out equipment. and that they provided for the deployment of say a Minuteman III type project. That was something that I was hoping that he'd be able to bring forward to help you understand the attitude of people out there. Now I know how to battle the government with BS too. You talk, you know, yeah, put the enemy in one direction while you're busy working in another and that's what these guys have been doing. We all know who's betraying us. We all know who the traders are in Washington, D.C. and across the country. So again, something to take into consideration. There's a lot of other work that can be done. There's a lot of good people that are ready to roll on this. We need to get into a dialogue. We've got a few things to take care of here, but securing the border could be done just like the Miniman 1 and Miniman 2 project, only to an even greater degree. Better technology, better communications, better observation and surveillance technology to plug in so that our people are even better protected. The bad guys know that all this stuff is off the shelf. The problem that they have is, again, they're terrified, so they try to do everything they can to, you know, play the terror card against the population to prevent them from dealing with the threat in a very straightforward and simple way. All of these problems have simple solutions. Oh, it's so complicated. It requires a magic crystal ball. No, it doesn't. We can handle it. We can take care of it. On that note, again, We have a policy as Thursday We've got over the weekend. I do not have the schedule in front of me. I and forgive me I also do not have the award information for the new shooters last weekend that were the top shooters Especially about one but I don't have the information on the rest so I can't say anymore But hopefully by tomorrow maybe by the 8 o'clock or at least for the five or six o'clock program I'll be able to put that information back out there where it belongs It's just it's not accessible to me for the moment. And again, we still have more shooting competitions going on. I think we got light rifle and cadet shooting going on. In other words, youth shooting competitions. This weekend with militia family members, I'll let you know. We'll bring you up to speed there. And again, more of the cavalry is showing up while I'm talking. There we go. Our infantry are in the headlights, guys. Step off into the brush. There we go. I watch this happen all the time. It's like, no, don't get curious. I'm curious. So some of our friends are falling in even as we speak. And I'm, oh, actually, although it is almost the top of the hour. We're in that after something like this going on where everybody is, for me, we already, it's first person. I mean, there's several people, the handful of specialists are dealing with this day by day. It's not, we don't have to, it doesn't, we don't have to worry about sinking in. We're there when it happens. But for a lot of people are kind of thinking and realizing that they're thinking when they pull up in the driveway or they stop here that we're gonna see Don coming to the door and he's gonna be waving and more than one of us said the same thing. It's like, you know, the first thing I expected to see was Don right there and Don's not gonna be there anymore. Again, we'll say a prayer for him. And we'll lift a glass tonight. Hey, you've been to the glass of Don like milk. And he loved this water here, by the way, too. Well, if you want to raise a glass of wine or a beer to a friend, remember a great patriot, a fellow traveler, a fellow soldier and warrior, best man you could have behind you or next to you in a fight, because you know he'd still be there no matter what, and you didn't have to spot check to see if he was there. You just want to spot check to make sure you're covering his back the way he was covering yours, because he wasn't going to knock down or he wasn't going to step back from the fight. Just that simple. That's the fun part. Anyway, we're off. towards the top, hopefully I'm still connected. You're good. Good, thank you. I'm just staring at us here, guys. I'm kind of in a century post while I'm watching the guys, just kind of keeping an eye on them while I'm doing the program. And when the guys that we've trained operate the way they've trained, they were trained. And the guys that we got here were trained, we worked with Don for a long time, and they're very capable, very competent. Younger guys, the ones who are passing the baton on to younger guys. You know they're hellions the kind of hellions we need for the next the next round Do we have a caller call or jump in there, please don't hesitate if you want to yeah, just a show we got Europe for get time stuff Yeah, I hear just hoping you get it, but I see you. You know you here to look at you and mark marking you know Mark you and on and you know in a way you guys were like a two-man rifle unit you know you guys are always and you know communicated things day in and day out and got the job done. And I just wanted to say thank you to you yourself and Don. I know you're listening. Thank you for day in and day out being a leader, leaders for all of us out here. And like a friend of mine, I can't quite put it, it's such an expect we thought we were going to grow old listening to yourself and Don. And I just want to say thank you. You know, I think this opportunity is an opportunity to say thank you to yourself and Don and God bless to Don and you're always going to be with us. So thank you Mark. I'm one of the new ones. Thank you. Don't worry, we're all meet up. We're all on the same team one way or another. Even if we leave here, we'll all be together down the road. That's it. That little Johnny Cash song. That's why I love it so much. Further on up the road, Deesinger, when it comes to that song. But Johnny Cash took that piece of music and he put it right into, he drove it right into the heart of where it needed to be. Just the sound, the feel, and the effect he expresses. I wish y'all would be thinking further on up the road, guys, don't you worry. Everybody do your part. Everybody man up. Everybody, let's fight for our liberty. And up for our liberty. Look, we're righteous men. We have a righteous indignation. I'm tired of all these characters pissing on us. And then laughing or hiding it off and you know, and again destroying us destroying our country or destroying our friends and our people We need to stop that we're gonna have to put the kibosh to that. It's all there is to it and you know The sad part is we built him a house here. We've been working at this for the last year plus We got him at least into the house. He was able to enjoy it not for very long but got the heat and everything in with a house looks pretty and We got the front dot, we got it before he was too ill. I had, you know, guys, we came in step by step, my middle son and a bunch of the guys got together and we, the outer, down so to speak, the deck, and even got the rails on, we got to see that. Like I said, the only bad part is, sad part is, we got the steps forward and those are the steps he left the home in. In fact, we worked real hard to get him done so he could. He spent another 20 years here. But you don't get to plan that. And we are trying real hard because he deserved more comfort. You all deserve more, more comfort. And don't be ashamed about that. I'm not talking about being, you know, hedonistic. I'm talking about comfort it is and being able to rest and relax. You all deserve it. After you work for as long as you do, and you guys that are younger, you do deserve it. You know, don't ever apologize for that. All these socialists want to try and make you think you need to apologize for existing. That's why my attitude is we need to shoot their ass out of this country. Gave up what he needed to as he needed to to help others' time and resources and you know he had to make do with what he had. Ain't none of us rich, but you know what? We're wealthy beyond compared by our enemies. By the nature of the friends that you do have. And the kind of people in the Patriot Movement. If you really want to honor Donald Betcher, Start, you know, appreciate and find the people that are like-minded or the Patriot oriented and rally them guys, rally them. It's the thing that needs to be done. Don did that in so many different ways, not even necessarily because, you know, he brought people in the Patriot movement the way you should where he would deal in many other areas and he'd ask them questions. You know where he got that from? It's his teacher. What I do, I got from my teachers. From all the examples I have, or you know that I grew up with that hopefully made me the right person I needed to be. Okay? Every one of us stumbled, humbled, and made mistakes at different times. You can't look back on that. You got to build on that. And it's just that, man, I wish we'd... There's so many things that we... You know, we also, because we don't have enough time, there's only so much time in this life. Even if you're working on one thing, you find that there's something that just takes your time. You don't have any choice. Some of these things are just obligations beyond any other that you have. It's like coming here to hip with Don. There's nothing else we could do. We had to be here for him. And he knew that. He hated that. I'm going to tell you something. He hated the idea that he was imposing on us. That's how he... I know all of us like that to a degree. It's like, no, I can do for myself. We're an independent breed, we're an independent core. And when it comes to it, it's like he just did not want us to have to do anything for him. When he was ill, it's his nature. I can do for myself, take care of myself. I don't want you to have to do that. I had to keep calming him down about that because it's just like he expresses with his arms and his hands, he's trying to tell you what he wants and what he wants to do. He wants to do it. Now, you don't need to do it for me, I want to do it. Always remember Donald Betcher. Never think bad about him. Always remembering when he was just funny as hell. A lot of, you know, goofy would be around sometimes. And a hell of a threat if you decided you wanted to cross him or he thought that somebody else was gonna hurt someone he liked. Which is how life should be and how you should be in your life. So everybody out there again. We're at the top. We've got to go, we're gonna go for now. But for everybody before we do, God bless Donald Betcher. Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is in your hands now. All the friends that we've known that he hasn't seen in a while. Like you said, Skip Talbot, he's probably having a hell of a conversation with him right now. A heavenly conversation with him right now. All of a lot of friends that we've all known for years. Each one of them have taken their turn. They've sworn his lessons. So we will all meet up again.
