Join Mark and Tom for Weapons Wednesday, where you'll learn how to use everything from your bare hands to your average AR-15. Is the fourth gauge autoloader? Sure. The 45 long slide, yep, with laser siding. You betcha. Oozy 9mm? Yes sir. Phase plasma rifle in the 40 watt range. What are you, crazy? Wrong. Ah, okay, we'll talk about that too. So whatever question you have, about whatever weapon you have, call Mark and Don on Weapons Wednesday. And remember, your mind is your first best weapon. Dream the other night that a figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat and speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the freaking home of freedom. The freedoms we secured for you, we hope that 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 and home 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 this 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 Number traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the 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 so their children will be. 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 what you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic in each God-given right. And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom. as Iowoki vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, 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. 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? Afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, this is the first hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Kornke, one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, southwest, east, northeast, and south.

Couple things here real quick first of all Cinco di Amo Day it is Friday the fifth day of the week where you need to buy ammo and Again, ammo man dot com ammo man dot com ammo man dot com UN ammo dot com UN ammo dot com UN ammo dot com and if you're looking for those orphan cartridge Solutions, aimsurplus.com. And I should mention that more. I've had a lot of questions in different emails and spikes about, in fact, even messages over at Messenger Facebook about certain calibers, you know, like, hey, where can I find this? And I understand a lot of you guys have grandpa's guns or dad's guns that you inherited. You got a certain amount of ammunition. Well, it's not bad. Dave, first of all, Dad left you some really cool stuff. But one that I keep getting requests on is 8mm Lebel. There are, and were, a lot of these French rifles laying around. They're not bad guns. The French may have surrendered more often than they fought, but when they did fight, they had good weapons to fight with. The Lebel is not a bad weapon. The Moss is an excellent firearm. Actually, both guns are more than serviceable. There was no significant issues with the firearms. It had to do mostly with management and how they commanded the troops they had available and fumbled the ball. That's what the French had a problem with, okay? Management. But anyway, the Lebel rifle, the only thing I'm going to point out is you are probably going to need, if it's not a modified gun, the French military did things, you know, progressive like everybody else through the last 150 years, and if you have the Lebel rifle, it may need a Lebel stripper clip. Now there are a dozen different models of Mann-Lincher stripper clips that work with the Lebel that are for the Lebel. or a variation on it. The grass rifle was before that, then the labelle family of rifles. Overlapping you have the Moss family, which was the pre-war upgrade. Then the Moss rifles came out in the surplus, remember back in the 80s and again in another wave in the late 90s and early aughts. Good firearms, I wouldn't have a problem shooting it, it's just understand that 7.5 French as opposed to 8mm Lebel. In reality, it's a .30 caliber rifle if it's 7.5. But the weapons themselves are very serviceable. Now, if you need stripper clips, first of all, you're going to have to confirm, if you look, there should be nomenclature on the side of the receiver of the rifle. If you look and go into a number of different solutions such as Smith Small Arms, get a copy of Smith's Small Arms of the Worlds. If you have an extensive collection anyway of stuff like this and you inherit a lot more, maybe Uncle Fred gave you some stuff too, it would behoove you to get a copy of Smith's Small Arms of the Worlds. It's still probably, I think, one of the best utility reference guides. The only other thing that's above would be as good is James from the 60s or 70s. The 70 series books cover stuff all the way back to World War I and before, in fact they cover pretty much every firearm on the planet. If you get Smith's Small Arms, they do. If you get a James, Firearms of the World, they do. If you get the military version, they do. Okay, the military, military Small Arms of the World, James. There's different books. They printed a wide variety. They are valuable and priceless now. And I would point out there is another place you can go, and that is to, for instance, Gun Parts Corp. catalogs. There are several of the other companies that were old gun companies that used to have, you know, parts inventories, but Gun Parts Corp. still has a beautiful manual of arms slash catalog for their company, but you have to pay for it now. It used to be they'd shoot you one like a series of robots. Now you have to pay for it, and it is printed up, but what I would point out Inside that catalog, they have the exploded diagrams of every firearm they have parts for, for the most part. And there's some they don't even have in that catalog that are probably brand, brand, brand, brand new that you have to call and find out about. Now, in there, they have examples of the mats, the labels. The shoe show I mentioned the other day, you'll find semi-dometic guns, the Type 50-56, Type 49, Type 56, you name it, it's in there. Not just French, but everybody else's. So you can kind of look at the image and then compare notes. How many rings? Is it a carbine? Is it a full rifle? For basic receiver issues in the stripper clips, that doesn't make any difference. The big thing is that some may carry a 3, some have a 4, and some have a 5 round stripper clip. The 3 is very, very common in the earlier days of the rifle, but there are progressive modifications and quote-unquote improvements. Now they even did modified Lebel's. They do have an internal magazine. To be quite honest, they're actually quite collectible by comparison to the other rifles. So if you do have one, And if it's not critical to your collection, you probably could turn around and sell the rifle for a pretty penny and buy a lot of other things that you might need for the other guns you keep. Just something to think about there. But it's a matter of is it Dad's collection, or is it just a pick-me-up bunch of guns that somebody grabbed and he'd just say, hey, you know, I bought all these things back years ago when they were cheap. Not really critical. Well, you bought them so you could sell them. So if he didn't sell them, you can. But a personal collection idea, you remember you might just want to keep some of this stuff around. Would I use it? Somebody is saying right here a little, what would you use? One of those? Yeah, I would. You throw me a LaBelle? I've shot them enough. I know the nuances of the rifle. They have French sight, number one. First of all, don't expect national match Springfield or, you know, Grand, M1 Grand, uh, uh, sights on these rifles. These are European-centric guns, okay? Their philosophy of sighting systems, uh, was very different. Uh, the only, the only country that improved on their sighting mechanism, uh, those that spoke English, and that was the British, and that's with their British Enfields, although they did have micro-adjustable peep sights on a lot of their Lee-Metfords. They improved and then dropped in the bucket a little bit. It's really weird. There was a roller coaster on site. But the British built more guns with intricate, highly adjustable iron sights over anybody else in Europe. The Swedish Mausers are beautiful weapons and they have a good sight system. It's just not very sophisticated by comparison to what you could find out for the same year on a 1903 Springfield. And I, you know, so just heads up, the Euro guns, like the French, they are crude, well, I won't say too crude, but they're crude-rude and they work. They're just very simple, they're very robust, and they work. But as you reach out farther, you're going to find that you need to know the performance of your rifle by shooting a little bit to determine how much on target you're going to stay with those iron sights at greater and greater range. And by the way, look at the range that they do optimistically propose. I would remind you that back on the Lebel, the Springfield, the 1917 Enfield, the K-98 Mausen, the British Enfield came into service. There was a philosophy of using volley fire at 1,300 yards. You used plunging fire with rifles. I don't care what it was, either Lebel or the Mauser or the Nagant. You used them like a whole unit machine gun. Everybody fires on the target, you pepper them at, you know, 1,300 yards. You don't want to stand up and wait for the next bullet because if you catch it with your beener, you're finished. And still, 1,300 yards, those big, big main rifle, you know, main battle rifle calibers will kill you at those ranges. You will die. You will get hurt. It will not be good, okay? Another thing about the Labelle, I recommend using ball ammo. But there is sporting ammo available. You may even have I've seen them. You may have a sportorized scoped LaBelle It's not likely but they're out there because I've seen them I even sold three or four of them over a period of time where I bought them fixed them up they were already set up with B-square scopes and Since I didn't really have an excited interest in them. I sold them to somebody else who was very happy with the rifles They wanted them. So again, they are out there. You may end up with something you're looking at it. What the hell is this gun? Well, there's French on it. It's there's only a handful of guns that you typically will find like I said the La Belle is dominant the later rifle again Well pretty much out there in good force now and then remember that with the Later French rifles if they're not in 7.5 French remember that there was a company here rechambering a lot of the guns to 762 by 51 NATO Now you can't do that with the 8mm because, you know, 8mm will bell. That's just a... It's a milk model kind of cartridge. It is a rimmed cartridge. AIM Surplus has it, and in fact right now I believe AIM Surplus still has some in inventory. So enough on the French rifles, but I did want to emphasize that because I have been getting a lot of interest in them. And I'm not surprised because, I'll give an example. One time I stopped over at a friend's house right here in Dexter. Hey, okay, well, you know, go get something out of the well house there. So I went to the well house and there's like stacks of rifles. There was like probably 90, 95 rifles all stacked up in the well house. And I asked, what's that? Well, my uncle had a bunch of stuff and, well, he wanted to sell it. Go, yeah, yeah. Well, it turned out like probably about a third of the guns were Lebel rifles. They're cleaned up. They were in pretty good shape to begin with. They just had them stacked up because they didn't place put them. They want to get them out of the weather because they just moved the estate. And so there was probably about 33, 34 Lebells, there were Moss rifles, I would say three or four, and then the rest were Swedish Mausers and K98s and a few Carcanos. All those guns paid basically about $6, $7 a piece for. Are they all serviceable? Oh, hell yeah, they're ready to kill somebody when the time comes. I don't have a problem with that. Everybody goes, you cork, oh, yeah, I tell you what, I can play Lee Harvey Oswald all day with those. And I've had a lot of fun. In fact, Edward has too. Had a lot of fun shooting those guns over the years. They are very fun to shoot. So they do work. And AimSurplus, www.aimsurplus is where you want to go. You have any of these rifles or anything like them. When you go to AIMSURPLUS, the PREVIE PARTISAN, they're the best price and they have the greatest or most consistent volume of PREVIE PARTISAN ammo of anybody in the system that I've seen. Whether they're first come, first serve, you know, it's kind of like Maine military. Guys, I'm going to jog your memory on this. Remember when the PTR-91s first came out? The main military had every model. Do you remember that? Now why was that? They had them first thing because they were just down the road and the owner knew the other owner who created the PTR-91 company. And he had gotten in right from the bargain basement with them and so he made all kinds of deals. He was able to take whatever he wanted when he needed it. And the rest is history. It's now become they've become very dominant popular guns and because of that They're not as cheap as they used to be Well, the reason he could do that he knew these guys or he had good connections inside logistics trained available Aim surplus seems to be the same way. They got a good contract wrong there. They're high on the list with preview partisan and So when the stuff comes in a wave they seem to get all of it, you know everything I mean they get all the inane and you know odd odd cartridges Another thing that I'm finding everybody is starting to run into, but I would point out a bunch of these did come in about, what, nine years ago? Smith and Wesson K-frame revolvers, typically victory models, a lot of those went to South America and Central America as hands across the water guns, if not during World War II, after World War II. Well, these guns are coming back in, and a lot of people brought them back from World War II, and there were still some of the guns around in World War II and a half, which was, yeah, that's right, the Korean War, okay? Because of this, if you have a 38 Smith & Wesson, I would not re-chamber it. I wouldn't. Okay, you could. It's just too much hassle. Some of the things that were done to, if it was already converted over, then leave it, okay? But... If you have a 38 Smith & Wesson designated revolver, it could also be what, .380 for the BRIT models, they're stamped .380. Then the 38 Smith & Wesson round is what you need. It's available over at AIMSurplus.com. Good quantities. It's boxer prime, non-corrosive, standard factory production, and the price is right. In fact, it's almost about the same price as buying a 38 special. So, there's no sense. I mean, I can cut down 38 special cases. I can make a virgin or, you know, first time around 38 Smith and Wesson. It's not 38 special. 38 Smith and Wesson. Is the cartridge effective? Yeah, it'll kill you. I don't want to get in front of it. Is it a Dirty Harry Magnet gun? Nope. Never was intended to be. That wasn't its mission. But very common with police departments for the longest time, I would point out. and a lot of them, 1695, for instance, 50 round box, 38 Smith and Wesson, we'll see if they, I'm sure they have it in stock. I want to make sure they have it in stock. Yep. And it's 145 grain lead and it's standard factory, what you'd expect from a military load. So take the time and if you need to plug in, there's a solution for you guys that got, you know, here's a couple of boxes of ammo for your granddaddy's pistol. Yeah, remember that, red dawn. Works the same with these other guns. All of them. If you have a pistol like that, you should have a case of ammunition on the shelf. You should have a can of ammunition at least. Okay, a .30 caliber can, fill it up with the ammo you need. .38 auto, you know, Super Auto, .32 ACP, .32 Long Smith & Wesson. Okay. That's another neat one. That actually is a biting round. It's a pretty hot little beast coming out of the muzzle. Nothing fancy as far as when you're looking at it, but everything looks like a sewer pipe, even if it's a 25 when it's pointed at you. So these guns work, and this stuff, this is the place to go. AimSurplus.com. Okay, cover the ammo. That should be good for the, for a little bit. We're at 25 minutes after the hour. Another thing real quick is Midwest USA And also, Sportsman's Guide have a couple of really good buys. We're trying to find a little bit more about some of these gun parts that have popped up. And we mentioned yesterday, if you want to read the CDN and the sports, CDN and Sports. Let's get over there. And if you go, let's see if they've changed their deal. If they have, the price may have come up on these things. Anyway, email special. Well, it looks like... yeah... it looks like they've changed everything, so chance... nope, well, still there. Hey, that's buggy! Anyway, still on the page. They have changed up and they've got a bunch of other handguns in the sales section. They always do this every weekend. They also got a mix of shotguns. A couple of them are the ones that were there yesterday. I was going to mention, I figured, ah, don't worry about it, you'll find them. But the FNS 9mm or .40 We're looking for bare frames and the reason is that for whatever reason, FNS, 40 caliber long slide, 40 Smith & Wesson complete conversion, $140, that's the slide, the barrel, plunger and spring, and a spare magazine for $140. They also have for $120, they've got the 4-inch, basically the standard pistol, heel, hip pistol or under cover. Again, slide, barrel, plunger, spring, and a magazine for $120. Now then, the next thing they have for $40 is the FNS 40 Smith & Wesson and 9mm complete lower parts kit like new. $40. The conversation we had yesterday was, well, this is something here where maybe they were making the guns, had problems with them, and chopped them up. More likely, because it says like new, is that these were cop shop guns. There's a couple of departments that have been told, you catch all the guns. We have to be anti-guns. So what they do is they wheel around that. They disassemble the gun, slide all the parts off and put them in bags. and chop up the receiver and technically they've destroyed the gun. That happens a lot. It happens more than you'd be surprised actually when you find out about how much money's wasted like that because they put a gun to your head for that tax dollar so they can buy those stupid things. Anyway, and they don't get anything back. So as it is, the FNS 9mm or the FNS 40 Are there any frames? We're asking everybody if they can, to scour the system and if you can find them, and if they're under a hundred or a couple, even if they're a couple hundred dollars apiece. This is still not a bad buy. Probably about a hundred to a hundred and fifty would be is what I would expect. Of course it is a polymer frame, I assume, because it looks very glockish to be quite honest. And again, it's from that window of time where we are right now. So, you're looking at what I would do personally, I do the FNS40 shorter slide for 120. I would buy one of the $40 kits for all the internals, for everything else that goes in the frame. And you find a frame for however many dollars, hell, you're looking at maybe $300 for a pistol or $200, $200 some dollars for a pistol by the time you're done. If anybody makes FNS80%. frames, which there are so many companies making stuff out there, it's hard to keep up right now and again, there's no guarantee that they've maintained production. But an example for everybody goes, well, no, they only do 45s and they only do glocks. That's not true. And in fact, not too long ago, They actually had one of the companies doing SIG P226s. Why? Well, in Canada, there were a whole bunch of these cop shop guns, just like what we're talking about here, and the Canadian, you know, anal retentive control, freak, fruit loop, nutcase, you know, kosher mafia, POSs that are in charge now. Well, you can't sell those guns, so they disassemble them, like we're talking about. They made up all these kits from all the parts. And they were ridiculously cheap. They were about a, for a SIG P226, the kit was about $129, if you remember. I tried to get people to buy these years ago. This has been quite some time now. Well, because those kits came out, one of our sponsors actually started making Polymer 80% SIG P226 lowers. And the rest is history. Of course, they bought out everything, and however long, however many kits they had, once everybody found out they had them, everybody swooped in, grabbed all those 80%. There's a pile of SIG P226s out there that are just like those no-name-brand Glocks, and they work just fine, okay? If we can find that the FNS solution is comparable, I'd recommend that, although I would say this. If you're listening, and you have an FNS, I would buy that $40 kit yesterday. And I'll tell you why. Every part that could possibly go wrong in the frame is there. The trigger, which has the dual pushrobs, which are typical for the kind of guns we see nowadays, stuff happens. Okay, those are not a real heavy part. In fact, to be quite honest, of all the parts that I'm looking at here, there are two. One is the flimsy release system that they typically put on these and I don't care what gun it is and the other is the trigger. So you've got both parts assemblies here and basically just to help you understand why we bring up the trigger is the cant and angles of the push rods that are on the trigger. What's fascinating about these is that it's a math and science to it thickness versus pitch and angle and taper of you know of the Individual little butterfly rods are typically stamped sheet metal. They may be more sophisticated, but I guarantee these are not because this is more modern. And minimizing machine time, etc. is what their plan is. Of course, they temper the parts, but how long has the government in service? You may have a point where you have restress, restress, restress, and you end up with fractures or cracks. These guns are new, okay? This is something I've always tried to explain to people about having a complete spare parts kit like this. May not be the greatest, but you know what? If it does break, you've got another part right there ready to replace it. And if it took you, oh, seven, eight, ten thousand rounds to break it the first time, okay, so you know you got seven, eight thousand rounds before she goes again. Good enough to put it as a security pistol in somewhere and is at least likely to be a malfunction issue for quite some time. And again, it's a cash gun, who cares? It's going to be buried until you bring it into service and then the meter starts running on the pew pew, pew pew pew pew, pew pew pew pew pew, okay? You know, ding ding ding ding, working with 8,000 rounds, ding ding ding ding, ding ding ding, you know, like a cash-o-meter. Or a one-armed man and lost wages. Anyway, that's over at cdnnsports.com. Go to email specials. and it's the FNS pistol. Now I don't see the gun and it was mentioned that they had some toothing problems with the gun which, you're amazed if they maybe cannibalized the whole inventory. That's possible. But I haven't seen anybody else with the parts and this happens with CDNN. They make some pretty good connections. They're a long on the tooth company. They've been around for a very long time. They know how to operate, they have all the connections, and so when they, they were the ones that had those SIG kits before, tried to get you guys to jump on them. Might recall a few years ago here, they had Smith and Wesson, 40-cal, M&Ps, same way. They had all the parts, pieces, and assemblies. Cop shop, somebody chopped them up. Price was right. In fact, with all the MP40s laying around now, the military and police models in 40-caliber, you'd make it out like a bandit. So just a heads up on this one. Anyway next shopping list here. Okay, we're good with CDNN. We again one more time AIM Surplus is where Preview Partisan has pretty much rested. Everything's there that you can imagine. You got to go through to see who hasn't bought something out yet because some of the stuff sells out pretty quick. But they do have it listed. So you have to go through the scroll and find the caliber that you're interested in. See if they have it on the shelf. Now, let's see, going over to other interesting things, you know, for the moment as we say, okay, there we go. Come on, we'll make it and we get away from there and over here, there we go. Next on the list of things to do as they say, and for some reason everything, you know, I don't want to, I want you to leave. I just want to leave, close the program. Come on. Anyway, well, this is interesting. So anyway, As it stands, there's again a couple of other really decent buys out there in terms of technology, but with regard to trucks, everybody, while I do, I've been writing a bunch of articles on armored trucks. You've probably seen some of those of you looking at the social media recommendations. I will reinforce again what I've been talking about armored trucks here and even there, is when I talk about you guys building them. Now some of you guys have flame wrenches. Okay, you can do a great job of chopping any piece of metal you want. And you got all the cutters, graters, whatever else you want to do. If you want to build an armored car, do it. Look at what else is out there. Look to see how they built it. Take a look at some of the simple designs. The Moags, of course, are really cool. And if you want, go that direction. But what I was talking about, now, reinforce again, is you can do casual armoring on standard trucks that are utility trucks. No one's going to know the difference. No one's going to think twice about it. But by the time you're done, you're impervious to the Fruit Loop, Nutcase, Loon cops who, well, like when they were looking for that big, like, six foot, what was it, five inch tall black guy that weighed 300 plus pounds. He was a cop that, you know, they pushed off the force and apparently he was going after the characters that were undermining his career. And they remember there were two little Mexican ladies. They were under five foot, looked like they were about five foot, or five foot two, okay? They were in a different truck, totally alien, wrong color, doesn't look anything like unless you welded those two mamacitas together. Those two women were, again, half the guy's height, or at least close enough that you wouldn't know the difference. Their heads barely could get over the steering wheel, well not even that, they were looking through the steering wheel but it looks to me. But if you pay attention, look at the truck that they were driving, which by the way was the wrong make, the wrong color, wrong design, and the people didn't fit the description. The women did not fit the description of the big black guy they wanted to shoot. Well, they shot the snot out of that truck anyway. And if you pay attention, like I pointed out many times, go find a picture of that. Take a look at where they were firing. They knew that if you ducked out, they'd been taught to go after you where you're sitting in your seat. You all understand that, right? So when the swine make a mistake like this, when the bottom feeders, the shoe size IQ characters, just blaze away on something. Trying not to be a victim when they're, when idiot sticks are doing what they're doing best, which is being idiot sticks. It's not going to help you if you don't maybe improve your defense posture a little bit. Okay? No, Dan, but you got to remember that was California. You can't profile people there. You have to treat those short, with men like they could be the 6 foot 5 inch. And besides, they may feel that they're 6 foot 5 inch tall black guys. Actually, there were two women who were delivering newspapers, remember? That's the worst part. It's like, yeah, they were making multiple stops. Maybe because they were pulling up and they were dropping off a newspaper and then they went to the next house and they were dropping off a newspaper and then they'd You know how stupid these people were? Seriously, okay, I just want to point that out But if you look at the truck, take a look at what they did. It's like at Waco, pay attention. Everybody goes, what were they doing? They were shooting through the walls at the people If you pay attention, this is why they had to burn the place down because they didn't know everybody was. They just started blazing away at where they suspected people to be through the walls. And I've warned you about this many, many, many times. Invest in body armor, okay? With the truck as I pointed out if you back panel armor the inside of the of the crew compartment You need to write a very back wall That's where you put your first piece of quarter inch steel on the inside you have it cut and you do standoffs with bolts just Barely, so you give you a little bit of distance You don't need it smacked up. You know tucked up right next to the outer plow to sheet steel Then the next piece of plate you do if you're gonna do any right away is inside the truck box on the back of the truck box up towards the cab. If anybody asks any questions, it's, oh, let's lean a little up and move a lot of steel and two by fours and man, I'll beat the hell out of my other truck. I'll just figure out by myself here a couple of steel panels. I'll put them, had the boys put them in. That way when I run my steel and stuff, I just throw it in there. Don't hurt nothing. Now in reality that's true, it's actually a great bumper plate if you have a truck. But what its real purpose is, is stopping bullets. Okay? Now, is any one of these going to stop every bullet coming through? Nope! I'm going to tell you right now, I didn't say you were buying a homogeneous armor plate. You'll probably just be buying quarter, twenty, you know, quarter inch, quarter, twenty. Quarter inch steel plate, that's fine. Or maybe three eights, that's fine too. It's no matter how much weight you're willing to add to your truck. On the inside of the cab I do ¼ inch. On the back bumper plate inside the cube, the box closest to the cab, 3 8's. You can do 3 8's there. Now here's the thing. You can also, and this is a really good idea, is put a cap plate on the back of your gate on the inside. So when it drops down, you have a reinforcing plate. Now that you want flush with the metal. But you also want to make sure that the screws that hold it in place or if you're going to weld it you weld it But I personally would actually use screws And do flush surface screws you have to do a little more machine work there not a big deal You should be learning these things anyway, but the idea behind this is that again. It's a drag plate Don't want to be too excessive, but whenever you're moving stuff around you can use the same excuse for that panel as you can for the inside of the box and Now, the other one, no one's going to have a clue. And if you do it right, paint it up. Don't leave it bare steel. Paint it up to match the color of the interior or the body of the truck. Always do that for the interior panels. There's a reason, number one, is it reduces oxidation issues, you know, durability, guys. You want to make things last. And again, it's not likely it's going to get real wet or damp inside, but how about a precautionary? Now, the big thing about this, if you do some math, just what we've added here, to the back internal panel, I got a quarter inch. On the external box panel, right outside the cab, I've got three-eighths of an inch. At the back of the truck, with the gate, I can put eighth inch, quarter inch, whichever way you want to go, and whatever you got money for. Now, you got that folded up. That's eighth of an inch or quarter of an inch that the bullet has to pass through, plus the body of the vehicle, which is not much, but everything creates resistance. The second panel inside will probably stop most of what you're going to experience, but just in case it doesn't, that flipper panel on the inside should finish off the difference. But let's say that you're still plowing through. Well, I'm going to go over to the idea of getting those nice little cheap British Northern Ireland occupation flak vests for $34, $35 apiece right now. Or no, $36.40, something like that. Anyway, free shipping if you buy two because free shipping on anything over $49 is Sportsman's Guide, right? And body armor is heavy. We ordered a pile of that stuff and if I had to pay the shipping on that, oh my goodness, in the last couple of months, actually last couple of weeks, it would have been more than the cost of the product. But as it is, not so much because free shipping and they're trying to sell stuff, which is good. I like that. So anyway, you take one, if you got that bucket seat front end, which is what you see on most of them, or at least a split seat on the front, you still have a fold down like for, you know, arm cushion, whatever in the middle, it becomes a back when you put it back up. You take those, take the Kevlar vest, open up the Velcro, slide it over the seat like you're putting it on a person. Cinch it up, make sure the armrests, okay, forgive me, the headrest, your anti-whiplash shield, you know, bumper, that headrest, into the rear, pull that out, put the vest on, then take the prongs or the plate, depending on which system you've got, slide it through where the neck hole is for the vest, you're all done. Now you've added more soft armor. By the time you're done, you have a pretty stinking decent Rear area protection shield. I mean look at how many layers you got popping through So when you duck down in that truck or if you have flipped down or flip up armor in the very rear or slide up armor You can actually put another panel in there and have it so you pull it up and it locks in place and that covers the rear windshield Now you want it behind the rear windshield. You don't want to in front the rear the rear window what? The glass is ballistic too All your safety glass is ballistic glass. You do understand that. Now, was it bulletproof? I didn't say it was bulletproof. Well, hello, listen. All of it has ballistic defense potential. In fact, this is one of the reasons, remember that swine that shot that girl at point blank range with a whole magazine from her, his gun, where he jumped on the girl's car and they tried, he tried to claim he was, the wife was at risk. He was lying, like they all, they all lie. But he jumped off from the side, out of the vehicle, and stood there and shot her at point blank range in the face 16 times. Right? Well, he was trying to, you know, he was concerned about whether he'd be able to penetrate that windshield, which by the way, if you're firing on the windshield at a normal, you know, parallel surface, the first few rounds may deflect quite well, depending on what it is you're using. And that includes ball ammunition. by the very nature of the way the glass will flex and compress in between the two safety shield panels front and rear that the glass is ensconced in. Okay? It's already been proven. There's more than enough videos on the subject where cop shops are trying to explain to their people, especially when they were using 9mm Parabellum. that, uh, guys, you're firing at a car, you think you're gonna be going through the windshield and your scut, bullets are scutting up over the roof and heading off into, you know, galaxy world somewhere, they're in orbit and landing somebody else's backyard. So, uh, again, all of what you have, or you add onto the vehicle, in the doors, uh, you know what, let me consider this. Okay, what's a quarter inch piece of steel cost? How much does it cost for one of those vests? 36.40 a piece? You know, you could take one of those vests and it really, depending on the size, will almost fill up the door panel area in front of the roll-down window. Because you've got to remember, you've got a window coming down. And you could install two of those vests on each side and stipple tape them to the inside of the door. Inside, you know, take the cover panel off, roll the window up. Work the panel into the outlying area against the outer panel of the door. And you've got a double layer of Kevlar. $36.40 a door. Let's start. If you're worried about, you know, steel or you're having a problem with metal and adding, you know, you're going to add weight no matter what. Always remember that. This is why we've talked about using trucks. Now, SUVs are good like Suburbans, Escalades. Take a pic. There's a whole bunch of stuff out there, okay? Bigger bodies are better because they're also rated for more lift weight, lift capacity, which means you've got more room for adding supplemental armor like this. Now, whenever you can, let's say you're building a rough and ready truck, well, you start stripping stuff on the inside. You take all the interior finish garbage off just to take pounds off so you can put pounds on in addition to the pounder, the weight that the vehicle can carry. Now the troop capacity and troop carry weight is not listed in your tonnage rating for a vehicle. Remember that. If you have four seats, they have to figure the average weight of the customer plus the weight of his passenger and all the passenger stations have to be able to accommodate a full-size average adult. And then there's the lift weight of the truck, which is half ton, three-quarter ton, one ton, one and a quarter, two ton, whatever. Okay? So just something to think about there, if it's a six seater or if it's a six place crew cab truck, it's got to be able to accommodate six adults and still carry half a ton, three quarters of a ton or one ton. Just how it works. So you've got a lot of leeway there to add the additional armor that you want and end up ahead. And again, this is a casual armored vehicle so it's not obvious. Now, when you start doing the breaking out the flame torch, oh, then you can go to town. Then whatever you want to do. Take as much body material off first. Decide whether or not you want to use the existing box and say the stripped cab area. Plus you want to shuck everything off the front. You're going to lose the hood. You're going to lose the fenders. You leave the basic frame and unibody in each of the components in place. and you use that as the foundation for how you're going to add and what the taper and angle will be for your panels of armor. See how that works? You already know what your maximum width will be, you know what your performance ranges will be with regard to, you know, clearance, and use what factory already provided for you. If you're wondering, go ahead, caller, jump in there. Yeah, I know you're talking about something very important, but I just wanted to add something real quick. You were talking about the FNS. Yes, go ahead. I know that there's a 1911 80% on the market, there's the Glock 80% on the market. From what I'm finding that Glock deal that I shared with everyone yesterday is still a pretty damn good deal. There is a SIG, you did mention the SIG and I actually wasn't aware of that, but there was actually a hole several days ago that there's still SIG kits on the market. They're in the upper $500 to $600 some dollar range. Those locations are still available. I have, I cannot find any FNS frames whatsoever, even from places like E-Gunparts. But I have put some feelers out, but I haven't got anything back. I'm going to find out who makes the poly frames. and see if somebody wouldn't be interested in making up a polyframe die and maybe make a few and offer them into the system. A lot of these manufacturers out here, they would produce a small production run if they thought they had a market for it. Yeah, exactly. So I've put a feeler out. Odds are it's not going to pay out, but I'm at least going to go ahead and do that. Now I do know this, the FNS9 and 40s, they did have some problems with them. And they had some problems with frame cracking. So some of the parts that may be out there didn't come because they scrapped them, they scrapped them because the frames were bad. Well, that's what I'm wondering about because it says like new. They may have gone through and evaluated a run. The sponsor I was talking about who did the 1911 frames, some of you guys have been listening for a long time might remember, had him up on the air on a regular basis and they had a boo-boo run of 45 frames where he was in a hurry, he had a big contract run for 10,000 blanks. you know, basics for a contract gun company that makes regular pistols, makes licensed pistols. And he was in such a hurry to meet the deadline that, you know, he did the assume thing and he ended up with many, many, many, many, many, like he ended up with thousands of frames, not the spec. And this has also happened before with factory guns. It doesn't happen very often, but it can be a material's failure if they do an infusion casting, which some guns are infusion cast, and it's like an 80% infusion casting, and then they do final finish work. This was notorious with the Sterling, one batch of the Sterling pistols years ago. Not the Sterling submachine gun, the Sterling handgun. They made a 25 ACP, a 32 and 380 auto, and they made a 9. They had a problem when they went to the 9s with their infusion casting around the trigger guard. And they had to recall the number of guns because it looked good until you got it into the field. And then when you started shooting it, you could use, there was a stress crack that would develop that you would see because there's wiggle factor. so it could have been something like that with a polymer i can see the same thing happening i don't want to with the f n s a was that a polymer gun or was it a uh... an alloy gun well far back until it's a polymer gun yeah okay that's um... there was supposedly i don't know enough about the f n s to tell you about from what research i've done that you actually ask a question about finding the frame uh... i've got a little bit of research and there it developed a crack around the rail area somewhere So it could be a design flaw. There's also a flaw in it for not wanting to eject the mag very well. And I do know this, the mag is super high. You can buy three Glock mags or three about any mags for the price of one FNS mag. Well that's just it. They had them for $15. They had a good price. It's the same batch right there. That's why I was surprised. I agree what you're saying. Everywhere else they were expensive. This was a block of something that CDNN made a deal on, is what it comes down to. They made a heck of a deal because eGun Parts for a used mag gets $57. Yeah, I know, that's what I'm saying. $53 for a 12 or 13 round magazine. That's a deal. Yeah, the biggest problem is again, it's like you said, it would probably, it's going to end up being a more desirable situation is for anybody listening who has the pistol already. If you haven't had problems with it, you've shot it, you're satisfied with it. I'd buy one of each. I'd obviously buy a pile of mags. I'd be quite honest, I'd buy the 40 caliber. If you had the 9, you're getting a 40 caliber conversion. You get all the spare parts for the pistol and general 9 or 40 caliber. And $15 a mag right now for 40 caliber mags. And when you buy the one kit, you get a mag with it. You get a mag with both of the slide sets. What's that worth by itself? Just like you said, if it's $57 a mag, And you were if you didn't have the mags that they have in their batch, that's what you're paying for the mags. Otherwise, okay Well mark that gun sells for roughly three hundred and fifty dollars used and it's about five hundred dollars new So there we go So when you look at the price when what you can buy there for parts and you consider the high price of a new mag If you can buy a mag for fifteen dollars or for mags included If you're a purposeful you're paying a hundred whatever dollars it was for one of the kits and there's a magazine in it, half that value is worth the mag. So actually anybody that's got an FN S9 really needs to pick up those kits. But as far as frames, I cannot find anything anywhere in the system. That doesn't mean something doesn't exist. But the thing that gets me is all of the stinking Glock stuff out there. It was kind of funny, you cannot buy hardly any parts for an AR-15 off of like eBay. If you go on eBay and look for Glock parts, there's thousands of them listed. You can buy slides, trigger parts, everything. In fact, I'm trying to find a source for Glock frames by themselves and the 80%. Because if a guy can, because well it's like I shared yesterday, there's that one company that sells the frame and the kit, 80% frame in the kit with the tooling for $96.99. That's one of the lowest prices out there, period, by a good $50 for that one item. But if you could buy those frames and then have that jig and then go on like eBay and pick and choose little parts, you might be able to get, oh, I think it's very possible to actually build a new Glock for less than $400. But if you can pick up some used parts and you're not afraid of using say a barrel from like Bear Creek Arsenal that's $42, you might get a Glock down there to that $300 range, maybe $325, $350 range. So I mean the probability is there, but I can't see these things lasting much longer because this, you know, when you can basically build a Glock for less than $400 or so, you know, I can't see them allowing that happen forever. Well, it was cheaper still when they first, again, when they first came into light, you actually were looking at a couple hundred dollars, 250, 260 at the most, with the original frames coming out for 60, $70, even at Bud-K. And that was the intro. Of course, we all knew I warned everybody else. We knew it was going to happen. But still, like you said, They've kept the Glock ridiculously high for what the pistol is, and they're very happy with that idea. They don't, in fact, that's one of the reasons I think even with the 80%, they were told, push the price, push the price up. Because once you get going in a production run with polymers like that, guys, you're talking, well, it's why the Austrians built the Glock. You're talking $68 a frame is what it comes down to. If you were to calculate labor time, robotics, the chip itself, all the garbage, your overlaying expense is what you have to calculate into it. What did it cost for the machinery that you're trying to get paid for? Now, once you get that dollar amount in, understand that the dollar price goes down even more. Once you've made the cost back on your machinery, well then everything else is gravy after that and that's what you're looking at with polymer pistols my thing is about my thing about with polymer pistols i've said many times this you can tell me you can make a clock to put a steel insert and you can make a brass frame that'll do the same thing you know that's what the confederate did during the civil war when they couldn't produce enough iron but by god there was brass all over the place and see there are even like 1911, 80% aluminum frames out there. Oh yeah, well, you know, there's some brands out there that I actually have a video on it. You can actually, it depends on the designs of the fire control. It's actually very simple to make some frames. I mean, literally, if you got a router jig, the jig set up, you can make a frame out of a piece of aluminum. But, Anyhow, Mark, I wanted to let you know I kind of floated it out there. I actually don't know who in the country makes these polyframes, but I don't know if it's worn or multiple sources, but I want to see if I can't find an FNS frame or maybe a source for it. Odds aren't very good, but I think it's worth it. But one quick thing, because we're getting close to top of the hour. You mentioned the Lobel. You know, the Lobel rifle used an early single base nitrocellulose powder and it was called like powder beer powder blanche and I've always amazed I'm really surprised that somebody in the Patriot community hasn't figured out how to way to make a simple single base nitrocellulose to the rifle we already have you been to Florida okay now have you been to Florida have you heard me say that No, okay. Well, it's a little hint. There's a we have a Florida disc It's a really good disc. I'll have to confirm because we'll have to make more copies again But there's a real there's a tongue-in-cheek joke. You'll find out why we say have you been to Florida? It's a Florida vacation disc. Look what you've got in the mail But yeah, let me put it let me put it this way, okay before World War one and through World War one every ordinance officer had to have the skill to build a munitions plant in the field from scratch. This is a holdover from the American War for Independence and it was a standard for the Ordnance Department up until World War I. They had manuals produced which gave them all the tutorial, all the instructions, all the blueprints, the schematics, the layouts, the formulas for doing a wooden powder plant from scratch. to do nitrocellulose, do celleum, it was a core cellulose, flake chip, and it was, the entire operation was standard. Every man who graduated from the Ordnance Division, the Ordnance Branch, received a series of manuals and instructions on the process. It was part of the course. The idea is they could drop down anywhere, and if they had to fight a war, They literally, if it was a long, long haul, they literally could be ordering and pulling the locals together and start cranking out powder, which traditionally we did as militia. That's some of the stuff that isn't in the movies for obvious reasons. Once in a while somebody brings it up, but they don't want any of the real history about how we fought the American War for Independence or why we stayed independent for so long. because we understood the desperate need for manufactured goods and we made up for that as quickly as we could. Now we're screwed on it again. Well, we've made sure that we've distributed tens of thousands of those. And I told everybody right off the bat, you print out the books themselves and those go somewhere else because you don't need electricity. The whole idea behind this is the basic knowledge predates the electric age. We had smokeless powder before the country was electrified. Electrify people. Yeah, see the original powder B wasn't long term stable but they used calcium carbonate to stabilize it. Well now that's basically cum. That's just an an acid. Well, at a rate of a half a percent for volume. One of the first things you do as an ordinance officer and all of you, you better be paying attention to this, is you know where all your pig, cow and chicken farms are. because most of your chemicals are going to come right off of the sewer pits and the manure piles of every one of those farms. I have a question for you Benji said that. I raised talks for 28 years, had cattle for 36. Do you think that the reason that they pushed the small farms out of business could have been to take that option away? Well yeah, I mean if you look at it, subsistence farms, you know, living on five acres, now people argue, well you need ten. Well not if you know what to do with five acres, but in reality the government used to buy components from, raw materials from all of the farmers, of course, now remember used to be hip-proof farms, hip-proof farms with limestone slash cement, foundations and base or indigenous rock and cement. Now you've seen this yourself when you've had cow manure with bedding piled together against a cement wall. You ever pulled that away from the wall and see that funny white crystal stuff that shows up there? Well, that's one of those things they used to pay the farmers big money for. And back in the day, farmers used to know how to collect it and produce it and force, because it was another way to pay the taxes, and nobody knows about that. These are one of the many ways that farmers stayed out of the bankers' hands. And yes, it was one of the reasons they wanted to get rid of the farmers, because independence, everything that we need from one end to the other, everything, the cow, the chicken, and the goat, or the pig produced, we used everything. You take that white stuff and some granulated white sugar and some rust and you have another substitute. Oh, it burns through everything, Saudee, it burns through everything. Hold still, this is going to hurt a lot, but it will take time, don't worry, you'll see it coming. You know, basically, I used to work for a guy that had a barn that was built around 1900. And you know, that was built a particular way, was concrete footing, and they were raised up. Not only that, but typically they were triple thickness and tapered. Our Michigan hip roof barns here that were done by the Germans. They understood slippage where I've noticed that with some of the other, you know, there's an argument. If you had an English farm, it was pretty, but you didn't produce much. If you had a German farm, it didn't look as pretty, but you crank stuff out. It was a working farm. That's the difference between the two. The German farms, if you look, you'll notice that they did tapered foundations and intentionally oversized the foundation, providing them with more lime and material to use for what we're talking about. Yeah, because the barn that I'm talking about is designed just exactly how that is. The fact to give you an idea of how heavy the taper is on the foundation, Like a 4020 John Deere or an International or a 930K, something like that, you actually could not drive that through the barn. Yeah. Because it was tapered so heavy at the bottom of the base that you couldn't get a 100 horsepower tractor through it. You could drive a little 8N4 or a little... cover or something which couldn't get anything big to it. Well that was pleaded because again remember too typically also revetted it into the hillside so the upper floor from one side or the other would be accessed from you know ground level on an angle and then you still have the advantage of to a certain degree ground thermal protection for the cattle and livestock who are always in the basement. You know, there was a whole science of intelligent science process to building the hip roof barns that, you know, people don't even... Well, they wouldn't think about it. I mean, most of the average person wouldn't realize there was a total ecology during harsh winters. Everything was self-contained. Well, you just described the barn that I've been in for years as a kid, putting up hay and stuff. And I never figured out why. And you just explained something to me that I've been... you think, Neil, that I've never thought of for over 50 years. Well, the thing I was able to watch out was those damn, excuse me, those hay shoots, the bail shoots, I always thought, damn, they go all the way to the roof. If I was the, I used to stack that stuff up to the peak, right? I always thought, man, if I took a step back at the wrong moment, I'd be like all the way in the basement before I had time to think about it, right? Yeah. It was like, yee-haw, that hurt. Anyway, we are at the top. And we're way past the top. We should be hearing the music here in a minute. Like right now. I thank you for your time. I thank you. Well, thank you for bringing up, actually appreciate the follow-up because if you guys have an FNS pistol, guys, you can't beat the price on those parts. But if you don't, and if it's not out there, well, we can't do anything with it. You gotta have a gun to make it work. God bless the Republic. Death to the New World Order.

Dream the other night that, well I didn't understand. A figure walking through the mist with a flintlock in his... His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three cornered hat and speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of three at home. The freedoms we secured for you, we 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 and home 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 attacks you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. Number 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 so their children will be buried. 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, be a slave? Both 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. Pray to God, keep the torture freedom as Iowa keep vanished and missed the ones he came. His words were true. We are 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 to 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? One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories southwest northeast east and south Ladies and gentlemen you were listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, Indiana Freedom Talk Radio.com, and we are on AM and FM micro stations, CB base stations, and alternate hallmark and golden spike technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. Good afternoon to all of our friends in the Lower 49 which includes the Great State of Jefferson, the rest of the CONUS which is the 48 traditional CONUS locations slash independent states. Part of these United States, the two outlying states, territories, and the clock are also part of the system here. It is 16 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. It is Friday. It is Cinqwity, Amity, and Quartermaster Friday, the 8th of November, the 11th year of open Fabian, the Socialist, and the Soviet Socialist occupation of America with a K-2019 Old Earth calendar. 2019 year of conflict, year of betrayal, year of miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii and stretch that rubber band out. My God, they're going all the way to year four without getting Jack squat done. Isn't that amazing? You see how they fiddle-fart and play with everybody. First you got two years where the Democrats and the Republicans were going to each other, but the Republicans had the House, the Senate, and the presidency, and they couldn't do Jack squat with them. They had no clue how to manage a victory. or they intentionally let it fumble screw through their fingers. By attitude, they intentionally let it fumble screw through their fingers. Now here we are headed towards the end of 2019. Oh, MPs! Holy, where's their argument? Oh, Russia! Oh, yeah, and both sides fiddle with us the same way and dink with us the same way. So any minute now, Hillary's gonna be, any minute now, Hillary's gonna be, any minute now, Hillary's gonna be, yeah, well, you know what? It's to the point where it's kinda like being in a Charlie Brown cartoon. Wah-wah! Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah-wah-wah. and we got it there go ahead and jump in there you heard that bloomberg's talking about running today throwing his head in the ring because he thinks he's the only one who can beat trump well what a surprise boy i'm telling you before we we we had chills now we'll just have right up in our face that's not to me that's expected and again uh... Well, the other option is they think somehow they're going to do an independent. We could, but I don't know. Again, do we spend the money on that or do we spend the money on guns and ammo and food? To be quite honest, I vote for food and ammo and guns, tools, everything you need to continue to function and to function better. You know what, when it comes to elections, all we gotta do is get out there and vote. If we have the numbers, you're gonna get out there and vote. Any of the other fiddle farting around where, Nick sends a line, yes Nick sends, okay, somebody came up with a song, everybody's spending money going to rallies. We don't need that rally, I'm an adult. I figure whoever it is that I'm for, and anybody else who's an adult should be for, I don't need a rally to try and angle me towards whatever. I think I'm already up to speed. In fact, it's a great way is what they're doing. It's a great way just a fiddle fart with keeping us busy while they're doing the rat wheel, you know, round and round and round and round and nothing being accomplished while we get the pedals more heavily entrenched. The common core, that's the biggest joke. Now, wait a minute. I was told a year and a half ago that Trump had gotten rid of common core and common core was going to be gone. Does anybody remember those listings and postings and Common Core, you know, the, okay, let's think about this. The woman who was hired from Michigan, by the way, she's from the other side of the state, okay, they were supposed to get away with, do away with, beat down and eliminate all of that garbage. And we were told that, you know, in fact, what happened to the magic pen? We were, you know, it was real good for showing you how to use that initially and then all of a sudden they just all went into brain fart and stopped. So which we are I guess I'm a little good. No, I'm not. I got a pretty good understanding how we're being lied to and betrayed. Okay, but the latest numbers that everybody's now talking about, you know, it's the word the deepest hole we've ever been in where you're not going to fix those people you did that to. I'm going to tell you what's going to happen. Are they leaning towards being pedophilic? Are they queer as a $3 bill? Were they taught by the Common Core system? The other kids who are homeschooled, they're not going to be given teaching jobs. The ones who are queer as a $3 bill have purple and pomegranate hair, hate their parents, hate America, or wrap themselves in the UN rag. they're going to get the job as teacher. So they're not going to be teaching anything better, but in fact, sinking deeper with the next generation that the ones right now are coming out of the public fool system teach. You're going to get the product exactly as they expected to throw it in, only it's going to be the next generation. This is why, like I said, you can't let this go any farther. And as it is, we're going to be in an uphill fight for the rest of our lives, stabilizing the country and building what needs to be built. But to do it, We're gonna have to... Well, the public fool system needs to be gone. It's of no use to us. It serves no purpose. Period. Do we have a caller? Who do we have? I'm sorry, I was unmuted, but this is Fluffy and I have a movie report if anybody would like to hear it. Uh-oh. What did we go... What did you go to see? Or was it something at home? I got a trip to go see the new Terminator movie and the Addams Family animated movie. Oh, the new Terminator. We hate men just like Ghostbusters and all the other movies. Not quite that bad. All men must be... Well, wait a minute, now I'm gonna do a spoiler, I saw a little bee. So apparently the Terminator apologizes and gets into anksi mode. You know, the original Arnold Schwarzenegger character, and they just go visit him. He's busy hermeneing somewhere, right? Well, no, he... After he fulfilled his mission of killing the kid, John Connor, he had no further orders. So he went off and learned how to live as a human. And actually... had a family, shockingly enough, an adopted family. But the girl who was sent back from the future had Terminator parts in her, but she was still mostly human, sent back to protect the Hispanic girl who would be the behavior in the future. Right, right, John Connor, no. But the one I really loved was the Addams Family movie. It was so fun. It was much darker than the original TV show. Is it animated? Yes. Okay, is it based on the original cartoon scene? Yes, much closer to the original cartoons than the TV show was. Right. Well, I mean, also in the characters, whoever the artist was. I haven't seen any of the images of this, but I was just curious. Go ahead. Yes, it's much more dark than the TV show, not so clownish, but it was so much fun. They had things going on in the background of the scenes that were funny to watch too. It was filled with what you call Easter eggs. My favorite character I think is still Lurch, but... Oh, me! Really fun movie. Not PC at all. They had these characters who were redoing a town and they were like, Ah, you and me, we can all be just alike. And they were the bad guys. The anti-individualists were the antagonists. I recommend it totally. Actually, I recommend both movies, but the Adams family movie was totally fun. On the other hand, everybody was Sarah Connor. All of them were women, all of them, everyone, and only Arnold was allowed to be, of course he was a family man now. He was wearing an apron too, so. But they got him in there, at least, right? They worked him in. That's part of the movie. If they end the Terminator series with this movie, it would not disappoint me. It was well done. Much better than the last one, which I still didn't think sucked. Well, circles within circles, plans within plans. We'll see what happens. So anything else jumping off at all there? Nothing. Just maybe a report for anybody who is entering. I was thinking I was seeing either one. They're both enjoyable, but especially the Adams family. Excellent. Very good. Thank you, sir. And again, for everybody out there, reminder. Let's see, we're heading to the weekend, looking to see if there's anything, nope, nothing that's making me scream here, but as a matter of fact, I had a comment on the Terminator movie, I can't do it out in the air, I can't say that in the air, I'm sorry, but I appreciate that, yes, the new one, this is the latest one that's out there. Anyway, next, let's see, we covered the FNS pistols, I wanna make sure I touched on that. Next on the list is body armor. I have been harping on this all week. Go over to Sportsman's Guide, www.sportsmansguide.com. There are, you can go through the clearance section. What has happened is some of the stuff, maybe they're running by a computer, I know they are probably funding wise. Obviously, as far as to determine what it is, it's next up on the list of things to move for cheap. But there are now about six different vests that are more than serviceable enough for basic defense. And especially since several of them are tactical rigs, they have both the body armor, neck cover, a double shoulder protection, and they have a magazine pouch system attached to them for the AR, and half of them can do AK also. The big thing here again is the price is right. Okay, well body armor most everybody tells me like you can afford it now basic plate armor This is the difference between the two and in fact why I would recommend if you're talking about buying plate armor Then that's your core that goes under everything You put the vest that we're talking about especially the ones that have the tactical system attached to them Over top of that and you're pretty well covered across the board now. Are you having to carry more weight? Well, first of all, I'm going to remind you if you haven't carried the steel panels before You need to go try those now when the time comes you're going to use them and you'll get you'll get over it real quick Especially for defense purposes in a defensive situation. It won't be bad Anyway, your mobility is limited if you're you know defending a house or a property or structure area Depending on the defense grid you've set up Most important is going to be stuff coming in from all directions. But even if all the steel panels are good, but guys, they don't cover that much. And while the upper torso area is the area that needs to be protected, angles and tapers and side points, guys, bullets come at you, fragmentation, shrapnel, junk off your building, stuff that took a hit and becomes a billiard ball secondary projectile at three quarters of the velocity of the bullet. I'll remind you that like Billiards, if another piece of material gets hit at 24 to 2600 feet per second and it's relatively dense, it's going to be coming at you at a comparable velocity. Maybe losing a few hundred feet per second, well let me put it this way. A 1911 round comes in at just a little under or over supersonic depending on how you load it. And it's pretty stinking lethal. There was a basic rule which is part of the pop-up targets, you know, originally when they started doing the pop-up electronics, most everybody still uses those that I know of in the military. If you hit in front of the target and a pebble came up or a rock, you know, scutted up off the ground and hit the target and knocked it down, that was acceptable as a hit. And the reason is what I just described, equal and opposite reaction, remember? If your projectile, your 55 gram bullet, is doing 2,600 feet per second, plus or minus, and all of a sudden it smacks into a fairly dense piece of granite or another chunk of metal on the ground, and that proceeds downrange after it's been hit, it's probably going to be zeroing in on you at anywhere from 1,900 to 2,400 feet per second. And it might weigh even more than the original bullet that would have probably tagged you. Ooh, it's kind of embarrassing, isn't it? Well, guess what? Its potential may be different based upon its trail or travel and its orbit while it's moving through the air towards, you know, trying to snag you. So this is again where both the shield armor, the steel armor or plate armor and soft armor come in because the way that the energy translates upon hitting the target, you, The Kevlar is all that may be necessary to deflect the round. It's going to, again, as it's depending on how it's orbiting in the process of its path towards your objective. When it makes contact with the surface area, whatever part of your body that's maybe hopefully covered with Kevlar, that may be sufficient to deflect and move it along the lateral direction of the path of attack. and the energy is dissipated in a number of different ways. You know, the math is pretty straightforward, even though it's too intricate to talk about on the air. It comes down to basically the cloth, the Kevlar, breaks down and does what it's supposed to do to dissipate the available energy over a wider area, and the energy then, of course, while it's also being directed, is pulled in a particular way because of the way that the object snags. and it's cut off in another direction and doesn't complete its path through you. Okay? This is why it doesn't, you know, everybody goes, well, what level is it? Oh, I figure even if it's level one, I'm gonna wanna wear it. Okay? But if it's level one, level two, level three, especially if it's level three, it's gonna offer as good as anything that anybody else is wearing out there right now. And I'm sorry you're not, you know, John Wick. You don't have the new super suit armor, which to me still would be kind of self-defeating because if I keep stabbing you with a quarter inch piece of steel that I can stop it, but all the energy still passes through and it quote-unquote hurts, I'm creating black and blue marks all over your arse. After a while, those are cumulative and they really, really, really, really add up and you're not Superman, okay? Just that simple. Just something to think about there. A neat idea to try and get people into the eye, that concept, and not thinking it through. If you, you know, he who fights and runs away, well, he who wears Kevlar and fights today and gets hit, probably won't be fighting as fast the next day. No matter how hard you try, no matter how hard you try, it's still gonna hurt. It's still gonna give you boo-boos, okay? This is where, like I said, you think about this, the steel plate either above or below, there's a personal flavor choice on that one, by the way. But if you do the core steel, remember that's protecting vital organ areas, heart, lungs, arterial cluster, upper organs such as the liver, etc. Your basic plates, front and rear, help to reduce dramatically damage to those areas. Now, you add that outer layer of Polish Kevlar I've been talking about, especially the combat Kevlar, you've totally changed the formula. You are now a very, very different creature on the battlefield. You also are going to be carrying a lot more weight between the two. That's the only thing I keep emphasizing. Remember, You know, it's not even ultra light. It's just whatever the weight is, it's what you got to put up with. And some of these vests and some of these plates, you're talking a bag of dog food. So if you want to experiment, grab a bag of dog food, start running around with it in the house today. Now granted, you can wear it over, you know, put in the backpack. Now, when you're wearing armor, one of the big things that I need to remind everybody about is that you are wearing a vest. So it's distributed quite nicely over the body. That's good. And also it's snugged up which creates less fatigue or wear and fatigue on the muscle system. If you're wearing floppy armor, let me point out that your body has to keep compensating and breaking in ways that you might not necessarily realize right away. But let me give you an example. How many of you are skiers? I was a skier. I've water skied pretty much as quick as I could get in the water. We used to live in a lake. So as soon as we get in the water and as soon as I was old enough to be able to get out of basically two skis, I used to ski. Well, no matter how much of a spring chicken you are, the first season, the first part of the season when you start up, all that you get upon those skis, you feel great. You roll around, you're banking. I used to have great time and after that first day though, at the end of the day, about 9 o'clock you go, oh, and the next morning it'd be even more, oh! Because all those opposing muscles that you don't normally use, you have to use to ski. Well, let me point out when you're carrying body armor, it works the same way. Okay? This is why, let me give you a little hint, in the past you might recall, well, let me give you a... ...Denithor. Okay? Lord of the Rings! Oh, God, Mark's gonna use the Lord of the Rings reference. Ignore the BS with the movie. It was garbage. And most, I mean, that's a sad part. Remember that the Lord of Gondor surprised everybody. It was like he seems to be quite spry for his age. That's something they left out. Well, at a certain point, he parts his cloak and he states, yes, I'm wearing my armor, I've worn my armor and slept in my armor for pretty much all of my life. And in fact, he was completely... This is what made the demise of him so sad and so frustrating if you read the book, ignore the movie, because he was competent, he was capable, and he allowed the enemy's mental games to defeat him, to destroy him internally. He was physically capable even at the point where his country was being attacked. Well, this is something that people don't talk about. If you live in the armor, you sleep in the armor, you work with it all the time, it becomes a second nature. It becomes a part of you. It becomes responsive. You become automatically responsive to it. But there are tricks. And like I've said, you cinch up the armor. In this case, If you're going to be operating with body armor, understand you can't have it flopping around. What happens is it creates, first of all, muscle fatigue to the areas where you impact and move, and your steel armor is especially an issue with this. So you've got to make sure that you actually have it snug and properly adjusted to your physique. Now, this is an issue with women. I've got to point this out. We unfortunately don't have that much in the way of ladies' armor. We have some. And every once in a while, like KeepShooting.com, they had some ladies undercover armor, and I've stressed trying to get it. But because of the nature of the way women are built, obviously we like that. If you're men, I hope, in fact, I hope you're liking men, or women, if you're men, you should be liking, you know, women. You know, it should be the negative, you know, the reverse. Well, the problem is because girls are built differently. Again, this is an issue with regard to how the armor rests on a person. Okay, and unfortunately the physiology of the women is such that you do need those little contour areas up in the upper part of the chest to properly feet the armor. We can work with what we've got, but if we do, there are a few other tricks that we, I can't touch right now because we're almost done with this already, we still would take part of a program to explain that to do it on the radio, okay. But the basic rule here again is The plate armor is first of all not accommodating the female torso. Okay. Then the soft armor is pretty well going to create, you know, another, well the only good thing is it might actually offer more protection because of the laminate situation you're going to create. However, women don't have the upper body strength of the average man. They have the overall body strength, but it's oriented differently. Legs, lower body, etc. for obvious reasons. So... One of the problems is this weight variance, okay, and structural variance. With you guys, you need to keep the armor snug. Now you can loosen up, okay, I'm going to tell you there's some tricks there because a lot of the armor, like some of the vest you see that are Polish, you have first of all a you have a core zipper and buckler and I mean boy I'll tell you what the Polish rigs. They have three different connecting systems to keep that front snug and closed. Okay, because they have both an over, a type of you pull over your head and then you adjust the Velcro to the sides. The other models have both the closure and also medical grab Velcro panels on the side. There's a reason for them being set up the way they are. Somebody does get hit, bullets do get through. You got to be able to rip the Kevlar open to get to the soft chewy spot that just got hit. But more important is it's for adjustment. Okay, so step one, loosen everything up, get the vest on, zip the front, and then adjust the sides accordingly if that's how the system is set up. Now you might recall with certain systems like many of the American PASCAP model 1s, it's size specific and you don't get a whole lot of variance there. There are later models, in fact there are several different models that are very size specific. The stuff that was built during the Korean War and that was used in the Vietnam. It is size pattern specific. So again, you don't have, you have to search out and find if you're looking for that particular system or you're using that system, you want to make sure that the right size is being worn by the right person. Now on the other hand, consider this. I know guys that wear two vests or wear two vests of that period or were wearing carrying them, they've probably upgraded a little bit. A smaller vest that's the proper size and then the next one, the next size up which is oversized means you can wear the two vests, one on top of the other. And then we do insert for instance titanium panels and all kinds of other fun stuff. Armor or body armor, there's a massive variant in how it's been built over the last 70 years. And don't poo-poo any of the stuff from the World War II era. The stuff that we're willing to spend the money on is as good as anything in the steel armor that you're seeing right now. We have not gone better on our steel. We're not building better, okay? We're holding our own, but we're not building better. In fact, the carbon steel, for instance, if I were looking at, you know, if you told me, Well, I got an older vest here from 1941. That was probably more likely made of virgin carbon steel than the stuff that we're using now, which granted we can recast, we can remold, we can re-temper. But you know what? If you do Rockwell tests on the material and consistency in the Rockwell test of the surface areas of the homogeneous armor plate you're using like that, that stuff from World War II grades out by about 20% over anything we build now. The thing is, it all went out of vogue. Oh, you got steel plates? That's stupid. Guys, I remember this. It is steel plates. It's antique. We got Kevlar. Now, of course, the big thing is, oh, you got Kevlar. Oh, we got steel plates. It's like, give me a break. It's a fad thing, okay? And it's good. I mean, all armor's good. I am not ridiculing what you bought. If you bought steel plate, thumbs up, double plus good. Wear it. The big thing is, don't leave it sitting on the shelf. Get it out and wear it. I've lived in Kevlar, okay? When you saw me out and out and about, second nature, guys, I was wearing armor all the while. I was out speaking to everybody and got a number of different needs. One of the things we had was a very friendly, you know, second chance. They gave us all the latest stuff that they had at one point or another. I got a chance to feel some of the stuff that, what do you think about it? It's undercover. It's the new stuff. Like it. Works well comfortable enough. Here's where I had a problem I didn't really have any problem with it for me I can put up with because I understand well, I'm not whiny. Okay, first of all, so that's why maybe I've not great for as a tester in that respect because for me as long as it's not galling and it's not biting and it's not stabbing Hey, you know guess what get used to the extra weight But there's oh there are newer Kevlar You know laminates that were made that they started working within the 90s that worked really well and shaved off a few pounds. Okay, and we really wouldn't notice them for the most part. I'm sure that the president gets the nicest, investest available that we don't even see, okay, and other people that are around him. Anyway, for us, we just got to deal with what we got. On the market right now, there's not a glut, but there's a good selection. And I would point out, though, if everybody were to go after body armor right now, when they get serious here real quick, this stuff's all gone. There isn't that much. There's examples. In fact, I'm kind of, you know, you almost get pampered because I can go away and go here and look here and look here and look at all these different ones that are here at Sportsman's Guide. If Sportsman's Guide had a serious push on body armor, it probably wouldn't last two hours. all take us a few thousand people and it's gone and there wouldn't be any replacement either. It's like gas masks. Well there's lots of gas masks around. I can even go to Bud-K and I even point you at Bud-K. Yep, there is. And the moment that we hear about Schmidtlap, Burgastan, Flapper, or Vergenberg being hit with gas, all you're going to see are dust bunnies and tumbleweeds on the shelf. Why I have seen this before we have seen this before Nancy has seen this before we have watched this There isn't enough to go around and again as I pointed out and it's funny because I started conversation one of the little Sidebars with a chat room and and once I said whether there are three basic technologies that are simply Special tech and there's never enough of night vision gas masks and body armor You know, body armor, you didn't take it with you. Traditionally, it was in the theater of operation. And when you were done, you dropped your armor off and you went on down the road. Hell, it used to be guys, even your field jackets were like that. Most people don't realize the comings and goings of the supply system and how they've worked and the nuances of ain't over attentive control freaks, okay? But with the body armor it was theater, you know theater maintained. I have been pointing this out for quite some time You know, we got some really neat armor out there. The steel plate armor is really cool But I will point out again as I've mentioned many times on the air guys. There was a malleable armor It was designed as rifle armor specifically to deal with a 7.62x39 or any MBR type rifle route. It was malleable putty The panel is the width from your right nipple to your left nipple would go down from just about where your throat is. The panel went all the way down to about your belly button, just a little lower. It was like a cake pan. Inside it was about an inch and a half of silly putty. That's what it looked like. And I swear to God, I think that that's really what this stuff was. Because where did silly putty come from? Okay. Now the interesting thing about this is I've seen rounds, in fact one guy brought one back and I, like I said, I kicked myself in the rumpus. He had his, I got one, I picked one up for $60, one of these vests. I had a guy keep begging me for it. He goes, man, I was in a recon unit, blah, blah, blah, Vietnam, 1971. I'll give you 300 for it. I paid $60. Okay. Not only that, it was a friendly, so I didn't have a problem with that. Well, we lost touch because in all the comings, goings, and movings, and he went out west. But the vest that it had had two 762x39 rounds plugged into it. That had been stopped. The guy brought it back. He said, this is the vest that saved my life. And he said, well, you really want to sell it? It's like, well, you know, my wife want me to, you know, I've always had these conversations on the air before. My wife wants me to sell all my war stuff. And it's like, you really are not going to want to want to have done this. You really do know that, right? Yeah, man. But blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And of course, then the wife divorced him anyway. So it's like, he leaves him. Okay. So it's like all that stuff you should have kept. Well, I got that. I got the vest. And again, the front panel was, there was still the regular Kevlar built into the shoulder area, the back area, the side panels, but the front panel, just picture a big cake pan in the dimensions I'm explaining with a rolled rib and even the edges were a Kevlar type material so they actually were ballistic. Now the idea behind this is if the bullet hit the trough, it would scud sideways into these other backup panels and it was absorbing energy and that ball round would not leave that pan that the thing would fall into. Now it's the only way to describe it although in reality I guess trough might be another term that would be correct too. So don't say we had this stuff from Vietnam, we're talking 50 years ago. And it was off the shelf, it was available and it was both an XM, the first fest I had was a standard. The second vest I had was an XM, which means it was the first 500 vests that went over to Vietnam for whatever reason that they gave out. They didn't give it out to all the troops. They typically gave it out again to front or, you know, particular key exposed positions. And by what I understand, point men in the special warfare SF units ended up, you know, with this stuff being issued out. And you would rotate it. In other words, if I'm the guy in the front and we're going to change point men, although most guys like being point men, contrary to which you might think, and they would trade out the vest and it would be transferred to the other guy in the unit when he'd move into the point. And this would be as they travel, stop, reorganize, check their unit, check the people, etc., etc. So the vest itself probably estimated weight, I think, was 26 pounds. But that included all the rest of the Kevlar, not just that front panel. So we already had something that was stopping 760 by 39 dead in its tracks. Ball rounds. I mean, the bullets literally stuck right into the... It was like... It was like a sci-fi movie. The bullets were stuck with their little... By about a... I'd say a sixteenth of an inch of the projectile lodged and exposed, you know, sitting... You could go, there's a bullet right there. It wasn't buried in the material even. It was literally stopped before it got through the material. So you tell me what that was and tell me that we can't make it. Okay, that we can't, no, we probably can if we figured out what polymers they were using, what the hell the process was. But again, it felt like silly putty. having grown up with Silly Putty and you know, oh that's really cool and you lay Silly, you spread Silly Putty out, you get it over in the five and dime store for a nickel a container and an egg, you take it home, you open it up and you could have like, you could take it and lay it on newsprint and it would take and suck the paint off and you'd have a stretchy copy of whatever, a reverse copy of whatever you laid it on and laid it down and rubbed it on. You know, rubbed it on, just rolled it on. But that was the composition of the material that made up that body armor. as far as that trough, that front panel area. Makes me wonder if we can get enough silly buddy to mix it all together into a slab and try it. Right, or whether or not it would be possible to get a volume of comparable material and experiment to see what it does. See, again, if it's stopping 7.62x39, I don't know what it was doing with 7.62x51 NATO. but it certainly was able to stop and I like I said I've seen more than one and the only example I've seen in a book which was referencing Vietnam materials that particular vest had one 7.62 by 39 round stuck in it. It was slow down to the right at least. Well and again here's the thing you have that and then you go since steel plates are now socially acceptable and back in vogue I mean, consider this, when World's Field Plates first showed up, they were being used pre-World War I and then in World War I. And yeah, they were heavy as sin. But the present ones are heavy as sin. Okay, there's no change. Difference. They were dealing with .30-06, 8mm Mauser, 8mm Lebel, and heavy MBR rifle cartridges. By the time we get around to steel nowadays, we're looking at 762 by 39, 545 by 39, 556, 223. That's considered to be the norm. So that's what we're defending against. But back in the day, those steel panels were expected to, and in fact, we're performing and blocking standard ball out six rounds, if you were willing to make them heavy enough, and if you paid for the laminate processing and proper, again, proper development making true homogeneous armor plate panels. And that's a process unto itself, hammering and tempering. So, just a heads up. This stuff would work. And again, I bring this up because you might see one of these guys. If you run into one of these, don't laugh about it. In fact, just to reverse, shut up, don't tell anybody. For a period of time, there were actually, there's certain things where they didn't really want it out and about. And one of the things that the guys were paranoid about is that, well, they didn't want anybody to know we had these. So it's like, hmm, well, that's rather fascinating. So eventually in the history books and all the stuff that I've seen, the information on this technology has pretty well disappeared. Why? Well, it means that probably there's some other polymer that is a malleable material that would work just as well and could be utilized in conjunction with the new Kevlar's which are lighter. and other alloy panels, for instance, why go steel when you could go titanium? I've asked everybody this on the air many times. What happened to titanium plate? I mean, I'll pay the extra money. Everybody says, well, what's your money? Life worth, I'll spend whatever. Well, you know what? My God, titanium plate, we already know it works. We built chicken plates out of it for years. But if you'll notice, the chicken plates are now, they've been leaning towards either just compressed Kevlar or heavy steel plate, steel gauge, whatever, whatever size plate they want to. And they dip it in rubber so that it doesn't beat up your cloth. That's not a new idea. That's been around for decades. But titanium, you could still insert panels of titanium all over the place. Think about this, if you have a pocket, why not have a rounded titanium panel cut or see what's on the market? and insert those everywhere that you can. You're building up a, basically you're making a baby tank out of yourself. But you know, for everybody that's talking about, well, how could we upgrade or what's that vest worth, what's its rating? Well, here's the question, if you get it really cheap, like $36 for a vest, what can you do to upgrade it so it works kind of like a mini plate carrier? Example, that British vest I'm talking about for 36.40 a piece, $36.40 each, there's a front pocket right there at heart level. Well, go look at the insert panels that are available that could go inside those pockets. Right off the bat, you've upgraded to whatever the modern standard is for core armor. Oh, you weren't supposed to think that way. What if you got carry pockets? Why not slide a panel, have a panel cut, and round it out, dip it yourself with whatever rubber material you want to use or coat it with, whatever, and then insert that inside a pocket. If it's a pocket and it's designed to hold something, there's a number of ways you can retain it. You can even have the girls break out the stitching, the sail pins, sail needles, and congratulations, you could even cut another piece of panel material and put a sleeve inside there with a slip pocket for whatever dense, however thick the material is that you choose to have as an insert. This is all stuff that's simple. I mean, so simple, it's ridiculous. Uh oh, and I have to point this out, this just happened today. Attention, attention, attention, we're almost to the top. Polymer 80, FS9, Glock 1722, serialized, stripped frame, standard grip texture. Uh oh, this might be not an 80, well, we'll see, it says Polymer 80. Hold on. Does it require an FFL, or does it not require? Nope, it requires an FFL, it is a serial numbered complete frame. Eh. but still $85.09 a piece if you're a sportsman's guide aficionado. By the way that includes the inserts and all the slips, everything that needs to be in there to make that framework. Showing a picture of it right there, it's on the front. $85.09. If you want to do a paper glock from scratch, there you go. Polymer 80, F.S. P.F.S. 9, Mark will get it right eventually here. PFS 9 Glock 1722 serialized strip frame standard grip texture with a gripped texture. $85.09 a piece but these are not 80% these are finished frames so they do require an FFL but that's not too bad if you're wanting to go you know one piece at a time because you're like Johnny Cashie. It will cost you more than a dime but you can do it in pieces. Another thing that they do have, the very thing I was talking about, right now clearance sportsman's guide, bluestone safety level 3A Kevlar body armor, soft armor panels. I assume the base price is 93.19 a panel. So there's additional inserts, supplemental inserts like I was talking about right there. Bunch of other stuff, sportsman's guide, it's Friday, they should have a whole bunch of other things on clearance. Look to see what they have, check their prices out, see if it's worthwhile or if it makes sense for you. It's got to fit your budget in order for you to use it anyway. Bunch of the snow camel items coming in. Again, remember we are heading to the winter months. If you can, if you can find it, best price cheapest. Like I said, invest now. Italian military surplus snow camel gear, there's a bunch of it coming through. And it's cheap. For complete suits, complete sets, etc. Are we ready to win it? It's winter up here already. Yeah, Michigan, well, have you got snow? We got a lot, we got about six inches maybe a little bit more. Well you're up in the high country, yeah. So we're just, we're not there yet but you just cursed us. Oh well, okay, oh man. Well I'm working our butts off, I just split the last of the wood that needed to be, that was chopped and lopped, that was on the pallets from the beginning of the season. and trying to get all the other overhead cover and additional or supplemental winter buildings for what's going to be a blast winter this year. We'll have overhead cover and channels. I've got all the frames, everything here. I just need to take a day and screw everything together and I ain't going to be hanging out in the wind if I don't need to. Moving from building to building even. So that'll be done. It was 8 degrees at 3 o'clock this morning up here. Well, we've been getting the chill air. Not as bad, but we have been getting the chill air to the point where, again, with the greenhouse is the only thing I'm trying to work for the season. I'm going to see how long into the winter we can keep it running. So far it's been looking good. A warning, though. Here's a warning. Eat your water running. So don't sleep. Well very good. Thank you for the Doom Report from the northern part of Michigan. We're doomed! Well no, it's winter time almost. It's what happens guys. God bless our Republic. Death of the New World Order. We shall prevail ladies and gentlemen. The Empire's on and around. We're in a march. We're gonna get out of here. Uh, uh, militia town hall meeting coming up next. All you guys can participate.

It's just a little bit past 7 p.m. Eastern and 6 p.m. Central. We're going to open the program with a prayer as we usually do. Dear gracious Heavenly Father, we thank you Lord for letting us be here another Friday, for being able to open up our airwaves to our listeners and our callers. for watching over and providing for us as we move forward into the new year. We ask that you continue to watch over us as we get closer and closer to that next year rollover date. We ask that you continue to watch over our friends and family members as they travel this weekend and they head to their destination. We ask that you watch over our friends and allies that are in the hospital and that you help guide them with your plan. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen. Total raised is up to $383.06. It's a little more than showing on the main website right now. I've got an update I've been working on for that and hopefully we'll get that up and running here this weekend. We did have a problem yesterday which kind of delayed that because I was trying to figure out what was going on with it. We had a problem with the SAM cloud feed. I'm not sure because I haven't been able to get a confirmation on that. I think the problem actually had to do with the server in California losing power with the power outages that they've had going on there in California with the forest fire. So fun. And of course those are man-made power outages. Not a mistake. But fortunately, the MRS speed, I believe that server is in Seattle, Washington. And I see we got a... Bunch of posts going on in the discord. Thank everybody for that We've got a couple of posts that are talking about body armor the last hour the intelligence report I see seven posted some stuff on silly buddy for armor and some other liquid armor Posted about UK scientists so you guys want to go over and check that out or if you want to continue that discussion You're more than welcome to This is your hour. This obviously is not mine. I am kind of semi-prepared for today's program. I got a couple of subjects I wouldn't mind touching on, but I haven't researched them enough to really go into them. So this is your program. It's not mine guys You want to call in the number of seven one two four three two zero nine zero zero room number nine five seven four six four in the pounds fine again, that's seven one two four three two zero nine zero zero room number nine five seven four six four in the pound sign You can come up and let us know what's going on in your neck with us. You've got two callers are a muted One of them. I recognize that number there for Michigan and the other one I'm not sure about So if you guys want to come on up And let us know what's going on in your neck of the woods or let us know about a training exercise or Operation rally a protest Ours theirs or you know everything knowing up here You're more than welcome to do that. This is your hour to put the information out there where people can hear it if there is a bit of news or other information that is being talked about locally where you are, but we are not hearing about here and That you haven't heard about here on any other mainstream media outlet or Alternative outlet that you think needs to be brought to the forefront. This is the other place you guys can do that guys Call it going on and we will Get the information out there. I know we've got Tom on the line and I can see he's unmuted But I don't know if he's right there at his phone Yeah, it's going up. It's going yes. I can see you talking and I can't hear you Let's try that again. Oh, yeah, there we hear me now. Yeah, I can hear you now I couldn't hear anybody on the conference line because the button was muted Sorry about that You have a training exercise or not you yourself, but there is a training exercise coming up in your area December 4th of the Michigan Yes And I've been really super busy having been able to get out, but I will as soon as I can. Now that winter hit, I've been trying to keep up with the snow. Yep, I got a feeling that everybody up there is going to be like that. I had to find the last bit of my winter clothing. I would say definitely recommend bringing your winter gear if you guys are already getting weather like that. But of course it is the Upper part of the lower peninsula and you guys usually get snow before the lower part anyway So shouldn't be too big of a surprise to many people Well when I lived in the UP we got a lot of snow too though Uh-huh And a week from today is rifle is rifle deer season, the star of rifle deer season All the snipers are gonna get to go out and practice on live targets that actually try to get away from you live moving targets Yep So, you don't have all that information for the training exercises at your fingertips, do you? I know it's... No, but I can hunt it down and... Alright, well, I know we gave it out last week and I have some notes on it, but I don't have the location written down. It's going to be December 14th, Michigan Training, Michigan Defense Force is hosting, correct? Oh, maybe he's already going to look for it. Okay, what? It's the Michigan Civil Defense Force and I'm looking at it right at the moment. Sorry, I took me a little bit. Well, that's good. We want to make sure we put that out there until the event has come and passed. Maybe we can get an update on how things went after the event. I want to say thank you to our guys in Oklahoma who called in and reported on what was going on there with the open carry. Again, they give out a website for other updates, which is ok2a.org. Ok2a.org, that's Oklahoma's Second Amendment Association. I'm not sure. That is a website. I've got it in my notes. I haven't been there to check it out today. But so far, Nobody's gone crazy. It hasn't turned into the Wild West. They're in Oklahoma as far as we're aware of. In fact, the rally and protest rally slash demonstration of their rights. I shouldn't say protest in the Capitol went off without a hitch despite what they were saying about it being a very dangerous dangerous law. It's going to be wild west in Oklahoma. Well, so far. It seems like everything's a little piece fuller, you know Anyway while Tom is looking for that information I will give out that number again. It is 7 1 7 1 2 4 3 2 0 9 0 0 room number 9 5 7 4 6 four and the pound sign and once you're there nice lady will tell you to announce yourself and then she's going to tell you that you're muted so Unless they fix the order of that, you know Just wait until it's all done the star six yourself to unmute and you can come right up on the program Wait for a break or if it's urgent interrupt us. We don't mind If there's something you know that needs to immediately be brought to the forefront guys Oh and attention attention attention, you know do that and that'll get our attention Go ahead Dom. All right here. It is the Free training afternoon the Michigan Civil Defense force is sponsoring a training event in December 14 2019 from 10 a.m. Until CoB which is closed closed of business Training is located to the west of Matt and Michigan near near Wataka. Wear what you want, but prefer it as a uniform and load-bearing equipment. No firearms. Bring a substitute such as a pellet, rifle, or airsoft. This event will be outdoors. Please dress for the weather and layers. Bring a canteen filled with water. Water will be available. And this morning here it was 8 degrees. So yeah, bring cold winter gear. And also rain gear because it could turn rain. It could be anything. It could be sunny. It could rain. It could snow. Now if they bring in an airsoft weapon treat that what treat the airsoft as a real firearm I'm sure the instructor is gonna tell you that but we will remind you up front This is not for airsoft play and even if you are doing airsoft play You should treat the weapon as a real weapon and only pull the trigger when you are shooting at the target you intend to hit We're looking for accuracy over volume fire. It says please RSVP to private message So that I can get a head count. Now the guy that's putting it on his Facebook name is Francis Marion. Or you can contact me and I'll send him the message. You could text me. My number is 231-430-434-2057. Again, that's 231-434-2057. You can text me. I'll send him the message or send him the text. But if you don't have Facebook or you could... I haven't seen the information come to me in email yet, Tom. Have you sent that to me? No, like I said, I've been busy since it's really fast. Knowing you, I'll get that done. I've been running rapid. Not only have I been dealing with the snow, I did something to my back. It's really been putting me down, so I haven't done much of anything. Again, please RSVP through private message so I can get a head count. Those that reserve and are sure they are attending will be given the address the day before. Here's a list of clashes that we will be conducting 714 as time allows. Main training, move as a member of a fire team, move on the direct fire. Supplement classes react to indirect fire while dismounting. React to flares, select temporary fighting positions. If time allows, then we do refresh your training on evaluating casually and putting on a tourniquet field dressing. And then the thing, also, if you do, if you want, There's no camping around his path people if you come on my property again if you if you guys want to come up you guys can't Camp on my path because I guess to meet up I guess they're gonna meet up here But the person who's hosting is gonna come here and pick me and whoever else I can get here up and I guess this will be the Rally point. Yeah the rally point and then bring a can't If you need snacks, it is on you to bring them. We will provide a garbage bag for trash. You need to bring your own water container campaign. A five gallon water can will be provided. If you do not like sitting on the ground, bring a stool or camping chair. And then just bring a note pad and pen to take notes. But again, it's the Michigan Civil Defense Force. The thing, the training is December 14th, 2019 from 10 a.m. until COB. Again, his name is Francis Marion on Facebook. F-R-A-N-C-I-S-M-A-R-I-O-N. He took that name from the Swamp Fox during the Beverly Tree War. Or you can contact me. My name is Thomas, 231. 434-205-7 and as soon as I send the email address or as soon as I send the email to Eddie and Mark, they can provide the email address. Yeah, if you could when you send me that email, include a link to his Facebook page because I'm going to copy and paste that right into Discord. So it'll be available for anybody just to look at through that system. I know you're taking care of the Yahoo group for me. You should do the same thing over there post a link to his Facebook and all that other fun Stuff that way people can just go look at it and click on it. Yeah, I'll do that. I'll do a link to his Facebook page as soon as I get back as soon as I get on a laptop I'll do that. Good. What do we got here? Whoo Oh reminder that the Tulsa Oklahoma Gun Show is this weekend and thank you for posting that because I lost my flyer. I had it right here and I don't know what I did with it but that is November 9th and 10th 2019. More than 4,200 tables. 65 years of fine shows at the Tulsa Expo Center at the fairgrounds or Expo Square at the Tulsa fairgrounds. For more information you can go to their website which is www.tulsaarmshow.com. That's tulsaarmshow.com. Again this is in Oklahoma and guys they've got open carry and this is one of the largest gun shows in the US so If you're in this neck, if you're in that neck of the woods, I say this neck of woods because I'm in the panhandle of Texas. If I could, I'd get over there tomorrow, but I know I'm not going to be able to because we got other stuff going on here this weekend that I am involved with. But again, looks like a really big, big show. They got a little screen caption of it up there with the flyer that Warhead2 posted. Thank you for posting that. I see Seven posted a couple of videos and I posted some stuff on Armistice Day slash Veterans Day. I don't want to say everybody forgets that it's Armistice Day because obviously some people remembered because they mentioned it in the articles I posted. But yeah, what was Armistice Day commemorating? The end of the word end all wars. Are you guys going to be live Monday? We should, as far as I know, we should be. Again, that's going to be up to the individual show hosts. I have rebroadcast ready to go if we need to do it, but I'm pretty sure Randy and Mark will be live. And in the morning, we've got Mike. I didn't hear him say anything about not being live, so I'm running under the idea that everything's going to be up live. We'll see if that's how it goes. We should also have Tech Comm, which is moved to Mondays. between the hours of the intelligence report, so we've got a whole solid block of programming for that window Monday through Friday now. I haven't talked to BC in a while. We need to get in touch with him, make sure he's doing okay, and see if he has any plans of coming back to do the Liberty Bible Hour anytime soon. I know he told me to talk to him again in November. We're about halfway through and I haven't had a chance to call him yet. So maybe he's listening he can buzz in and let us know what's going on with his situation and We can see what we can do there we did have a Caller who called in During the what actually it was the last Wednesday that Joshua was doing his program on the Oh, on the Wednesday hour after the intelligence reports were over, who tried to start their program on LTR? I would be interested if you want to contact me if that person is listening. What station are you doing your program on? And would a rebroadcast be possible or would you be interested in it? Now, you obviously... Listen to Liberty Tree Radio. You do your own biblical programming from the sound of it. So we always wanted more than one chaplain in the chaplain corps. B.C. has just been at the forefront of it because he was willing to put his sermon out there. And guys, again, the chaplain's corps implies that we have more than one chaplain. And we do. I would love to get more of you guys out there to come up and do a programmer service on Liberty Tree Radio like that. Now weekends are kind of off limits right now because I'm doing stuff on the weekends. I cannot be here to run live programming all the time for Saturday and Sunday. Sunday has always been my traditional day off, day of rest. It gives me a chance to rest, it gives the computers a chance to rest. We can do maintenance and stuff on that day if we have to. Saturday, it depends. I might be able to work something in there if somebody wants to do a program on Saturday. But again, I will say doing it during the week when we have other programs that are already lined up, either at the beginning or start. I would have said put it in the middle, but I think we filled up all the middle slots now between the intelligence report, which is a really good place to put a program, which is what I told Joshua when he started Tech Comm. Although I think the early, earlier hour on Monday may end up be a little bit of a problem for him. We'll see how that goes. If we move him again, I'm going to talk to him about, you know, giving a little more warning than what we did last time. I went with what he said, but next time we definitely need more warning to let people know where the program's being moved to. Anyway. We're at the bottom of the hour. We've got a couple of videos that were loaded. This one is supposed to be a Veterans Day tribute by the sound tank. I don't know how much audio is there for it, but we can play this real quick since we're at the bottom of the hour. It's a short piece. See how well this comes over. The destruction includes painted messages against the military and the war in the Middle East. Three teens were picked up in the early morning hours after an incident. Wait, where did he go? Grandpa, something wrong? Some people sure have short memories. And those who are too young to know need to be taught. Come on, I want to show you guys something. Twenty-five rangers jumped off a pretty man from the bottom of these cliffs. One hundred and twenty-five came here. After two days of fighting, only 90 could still bear arms. These are the boys, Flangelova. These are the men who took the cliffs. These are the champions who helped free a continent. These are the heroes who helped end a war. The men who looked for lives, for life, and the vivid air signs. Your honor, the name of God is my word to defy gravity. The one in my family, I lived in the belly of a beast. I fixed hearts and monsters. I became a form of the monster. For God and God, I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I fought for you. I think, though, if I was doing it, I probably would have, you know, got more people to fill the movie theater in that, but I think they're trying to make a statement on, you know, a lot of people have forgotten the veterans who served. Seemed to be the theme of that more than anything else. Anyway, we're back. You're listening to the militia town hall meeting, and we're live. If you want to call in, the number is 712-4320900, room number 957-464 in the pound sign. Again, the 712-4320900, room number 957-464 in the pound sign. Reminder too that Veterans Day is coming up on Monday. Also used to be known as Armistice Day. If you guys want to know more about that, you can look it up. There's a lot of history on Armistice Day for World War One Which was what did the November 11th holiday of Veterans Day was originally about now It's more about all veterans of you know foreign wars So anyway, I checked hey we got BK it actually worked this time and you're and you're clear and I don't even hear a buzz or hum or anything in the background No, he's perfectly clear. Yeah. I had to redial and refresh the dialer several times to get it to work, but it sounds like it's actually functioning. Yeah, it gave you that you can't get through the firewall message. Yeah, that even when you don't have a firewall up. Exactly. Any failure to connect, it says, well, it's a firewall, even though it's itself screwing up. I got that message so many times I went until I tried to find out what firewall was actually blocking me and it turned out that you know the ports that it's using are the same port that I use for gaming so they're open all the time you know when I'm gaming anyway so it does It shouldn't be blocked, but it gives you that... It's not blocked. It's obvious that there's some sort of bug in their code or their back end or something. And anytime it fails to establish a connection, it just gives us that message. And the developer just sort of assumed, well, it must be a firewall. It's like a 404 error, you know. It could be many, many, many things, but rather than saying it's many things, it's just a... Anyway, you're coming across loud and clear and I heard we got fluffy there too. Is there anything going on in your neck of the woods BK that people should be made aware of? I'm just all cranky that the daylight savings ended because I have an online battle that happens in 25 minutes and it used to be after quartermasters corner and I could do it and now it's not and I have to miss it on Fridays. Well that happens. Unfortunately. Or fortunately, you know, Daylight Saving Time, who was it? Benjamin Franklin tried to get that implemented back when we won our independence from the Crown. Well, he was trying to get us to help us save on our power bills. Well, it wasn't about power bills, but yeah. It was more about daylight hours for businesses and commerce. A lot of stuff back then was about being able to run your business and produce some money that way you could have a living and all that other fun stuff which people forget about. Now it's like, oh, it's just because it's darker. Yes, it is because it's darker, but it didn't really have anything to do with the power. You know, you could change your business hours seasonally, but even back then, people got in these grooves and they got all rigid about things. Well, you know what? Back then, because remember, it didn't actually come into place. I think it didn't actually. We didn't get a daylight savings time. I could be mistaken until after the Civil War. It wasn't implemented until after the Civil War. I'm pretty sure. I could be mistaken on that. I know I have to look it up. I had always assumed that was associated with electricity, which would be 20th century. Well, a lot of people know that it was Benjamin Franklin, so they think it was from the inception of the country, but it wasn't because he proposed it. He was the first person who officially opposed it and not opposed it. promoted it in our nation's history and tried to get it, make it law, but he failed. He failed ethically several times. But yeah, we're dealing with the time change, you know, everybody's getting used to that. But hey, you could live in one of those states like, I think, what is it? Illinois and Arizona are two of the states that don't have a daylight savings time switch. They actually do it. We were just talking about where the businesses just change their open hours. Anyway. I have no place to go right now guys, so whatever you want to talk about The airwaves are open the number is 7124320900 Room number 957464 in the pound sign again that's 7124320900 Room number 957464 in the pound sign I did hear we had floppy on the line and I actually wanted to ask a question if he's there still There still All right. I heard you went to go see a couple of movies now. I'm gonna ask you a question Did you see a trailer for the new Star Wars movie that's coming out? Yes, it sure did. Okay. So what... Now, I'm gonna ask a serious question of everybody on the line here. If you saw The Last Jedi, what cliffhanger are you possibly wanting to go see the next movie from Disney and the Star Wars saga to, you know, fill or answer any holes? Or would you even trust them to at this point? I saw The Last Jedi and it was so forgettable that I can't tell you the plot. Yeah, that bloke's exit was kinda cool, but no, I guess I'll see the movie if the same person takes me to the movies we did today. But no, it's not like, no, I've gotta go see the Star Wars nonsense. that Disney completely destroyed the continuity of? Well, there's stuff from the cartoons and stuff they're patching in there and what really pisses off a lot of the fans of what they're calling the... Oh, come on. The Legends content now. What used to be the, you know, what used to be canon that George Lucas approved of being written after he had done Return of the Jedi and all that stuff. We're exposed to ignore all that and that's not exposed to exist anymore. And then they come out and they do a movie like that and they say, well, if you really want to know all that stuff, you have to read the books. Well, you guys just got done telling us that the books had nothing to do with it. Of course, what they're talking about are their Disney line books, the books that have been approved by Disney now. They want you to go out and read the new extended universe. And there's a lot of people... myself being one of them. It's like I remember reading all the old books and this whole BS about, you know, Star Wars has never been for women. Star Wars never had any strong women. Boys, you guys have never read any of the books that came after Return of the Jedi that Lucas approved. Because like half of the main characters were females. You mean those funny things with squiggly marks on them and stuff? Uh-huh. They've been teasing names like Mara Jade and... Oh. Yeah, Mara Jade. Yeah, Luke's wings please. Yeah, yeah. She was supposed to be Luke Skywalker's wife in the books afterwards. Of course, if you follow the books, they're bringing into the storyline the quote-unquote hand of the emperor, but that's what Margie was supposed to be. It was a hand of the emperor and she was not really on the good side when Luke met her. But anyway, you're supposed to forget all that and if you haven't read the books, it doesn't mean anything to you But for a lot of the fans, you know who are looking for Star Wars content We went to the books and stuff and we read all that I read the entire X-wing series which I thought was really good had a lot of great characters come out of that and Besides More explained the bowels afterwards. You were kind of hoping at least something like that would be mentioned in the new movies and But of course... No. No, nothing. It's almost like some good... There's lots of good Star Trek movies. They went back in time and... Oh, no, no. That never happened. Well, it's not even that they went back in time. They retconned it. Because it wasn't written by Disney, it wasn't really written by Lucas. Lucas had approved this stuff. So, to a point I can understand that. But then, their excuse for how the war ended... After the Emperor died, you know, you end up on this rat hole Jakku and you'd never even hear about what happened to Coruscant because that whole Republic, they blow up in the first movie with the super planet-sized Death Star isn't even Coruscant which was the, you know, center of the Republic before. It's a completely different system. It looked a little bit like it in there, but if you get if you read a little bit of the books I'll tell you oh, no that wasn't Coruscant so they could still take you back to Coruscant for whatever reason they want to but They did just totally jack that up, but I was just curious if anybody was really seriously like ooh a new Star Wars movie I want to go see that Not so much. I would I would probably watch it out of a morbid curiosity, and that's about it at this point Just to see what they're going to do with it. Like I said, if the same person takes me to see it, I'll watch it. I did like JJ Abrams and what he did with the first movie to a point. It was a lot of nostalgia-bating. Unfortunately, the people who were making decisions are still there. So even though you have the director that people kind of liked, coming back to finish out this quote-unquote trilogy and if it was a real trilogy you would you would have a clear beginning middle and end point there obviously when you watch from the force awakens into the last Jedi there was obviously zero collaboration between the two directors and the story writers with those movies And now you're going back to the first director, so I've got the sneaky feeling that what's going to happen is we're going to get a jump and the first director's story is kind of going to continue and try to patch up what the middle director did and story writers. Don't pay any attention to that man behind the curtain. He's not really there. It didn't happen. Well, it's gonna kind of become don't pay any attention to that last Jedi thing. It's like we've In a couple of groups online. We've been joking. It's like yes The third movie will start and it'll be Luke Skywalker waking up and it's all gonna be a Force vision the last movie When they didn't kill JR It'll be yeah exactly you'll be the soap opera trope of you know it was all just a bad dream And I was like when when writers mess up there are three things that usually writers go to when they've messed up a storyline There's it's a dream time travel and What was the third one alternate universe? Yeah, alternate universe there we go Ultimate Universe can be fun. It can be. The JJ Abrams Star Trek was kind of fun except for the fact that Sulu, who the character of Sulu in Star Trek was never gay. Remember he was all he actually had a couple of girlfriends in the original Star Trek series. In the JJ Abrams universe he is gay, married, and the daughter that they have is God knows how they got that thing. Well, I can probably clone creatures in that future. That was just a side step there. I was actually looking forward to the next JJ Abram Star Trek, but for those of you who don't know what actually stalled that, the guy who played Chekov in the new series of Star Trek passed away. He died in the car accident. Yeah, he didn't just pass away. I don't know, I like the term died of stupidity. His own vehicle crashed him when he apparently failed to put it properly into park and it backed up on him. Yep. Well he apparently was a really good friend of G.J. Abrams and he just can't bring himself to do another movie in that franchise without the guy who played Chekov. Which is like okay. Which is stupid. Actors are replaced all the time, but yet they can do they can Find stock footage of Carrie Fisher and try to hack together a storyline where Carrie Fisher is still alive for the third Star Wars movie Well, that is like a little bit more intense emotional involvement than is normal Yes, if only they had killed her off instead of the other parent I kind of applaud them killing off Harrison Ford. He's a schmuck Oh, by the way, I looked it up while y'all were talking. Daylight Savings first went in right after World War I. World War I. There we go. Four-time shortages. Well, here's the deal. And then it went off and on and off and on and they've been fighting over it and so on and it got standardized in 1966. very recently and they've they've still been bickering over it and changing the dates and fooling around and stuff and other countries are doing the same thing they they turn it on and off and they move dates around and all this kind of stuff Yeah, all those different things. I thought it was after the Civil War, but it's more recent than that even then. It's a concept that was started by, well not started by Benjamin Franklin, but promoted by Benjamin Franklin. I can't remember who suggested it. I think Franklin is the first suggestor, but I may be wrong. I don't like turning my clock back. Well, he was he was he suggested it because it was something that was already being done in some European countries Well, it had been done like in Babylon, but you know It wasn't the time that was changed they they just decreed business hours changed, which is a sensible way of doing things And then there was a big push in 1895 that didn't go through and then Britain in the US and a bunch of other countries of Germany too all right after World War I when they had all these coal shortages and stuff. That was to save energy and then it went on and off and they've been bickering ever since. Interesting. Like I said, I thought it was farther back than that but World War I, yeah, that's That's a lot closer than I thought it was. It's a lot closer than you thought it was. That's uh... interesting. Well, I thought it was electricity related and turns out it is. Mm-hmm. Having to do with the wartime rationing. Yeah, actually sort of the post-war shortages and you know industrial demand and all that kind of stuff. Yeah. Well, we've got about eight minutes, guys, and there is still time to come up. I see we've got several people on the line. If you want to star six to mute yourself, you can come right up. Join us on air, add to the topics that we've been talking about, or take us in a completely different direction. We've been all over the place today talking about training, movies, Veterans Day, going back over some of the stuff that we talked about last week, and Oh There was something else I wanted to cover where did I put that? I'll say it again the Adams family movie It was fun. It looks I like it very in a political incorrect I like cartoons just for that matter fact a lot of cartoons. I slip a lot of politically incorrect stuff into Especially if you're keeping your eyes open for it were going on in the background during the movie. Well, I know they own the question I yeah, I know they own Lucas films they own Jim Henson's intellectual properties my Google strong tonight March 20 2019 March 20 2019 2019 Yes, so this year. Yes, it wasn't I thought it was longer than that, but okay I was going to say, because I was seeing stuff with The Simpsons and they were dressed up as Disney characters and Marvel characters and Muppets and stuff and they were using them to promote the new Disney streaming service that everybody needs to get on these new streaming services because everybody needs to pay for a streaming service. I still remember when we had stuff that was when you paid for something that was for free and you didn't get any ads. In fact, about the only one that is still like that that I'm aware of is Netflix, which is the way cable companies used to be. You pay for the service, and because you're paying for the service, you don't need to get the ads because you're paying for the service. Even Netflix is talking about starting ads. Now Netflix has become very off. politically oriented, you can tell that somebody there is pushing the LBGQT, whatever agenda, whatever you want to call it. I mean, they start adding so much stuff onto that group and what they, it starts extending out and it loses its meaning for what it was in the first place anyway, not that I would have gone along with it, you know. I don't mind if they do it. They do it in the privacy of their own homes and whatnot. It doesn't need to be forced on everybody else, but man, they do force it on you over there with that. Really, nowadays, it'd simply be quicker. It'd be easier to say anything that straight people aren't. Yeah. Well, I don't know. You see, here's a question with all the multiple sexes and California claims that we have. Wouldn't there be like some of those sexes that mash up where they would be quote unquote, you know? Hetero because it's a man with a woman or a woman with a man or the equivalent thereof I know that's kind of messed up, but you would think that would be the case eventually, right? Hey, what was it Jenner who Got woman of the year. I still can't believe that one passed. That was the most incredibly stupid thing Most beautiful woman in the world no no no no no no no no no no So not Anyway oh Well that looks like we got four minutes guys we're four minutes from the top of the hour closing thoughts closing ideas any last-minute statements before I can mute you? What is everybody like to shoot most? Me? That is the Thoron, not whatever you like to shoot. I actually like my Carcano. It's got a nice kick. It's hard to operate so it's a really good Works my arm muscles really good to fire that gun and then it keeps you like a mule. You can't whip off three rounds in what, four seconds or something? Not with that thing. But Oswald did, they say. I think that's why dad bought me that gun you know just I'm sure if you can otherwise obscure you know it is obscure it's a neat collector's piece and like I said that gun kicks like a mule and the action is so tight it's hard to move it really does work your arm muscles and it shoots magic bullets too right I wish I had the magic bullets I can't now my groupings with that thing are so far apart I'm even better with my AR that's messed up. So it made more patterns than groups, huh? Yeah. And that's more because... But surely one of these days you'll get it down into that two and a half, three second range, right? I don't think so. I can do that with a .22 though. A little Vultec in .22. Pop a cantaloupe at a hundred yards and a moving target, right? I have no idea if I could do that with that gun. But Lee Harvey Oswald did they say why it fires a pretty decent round I'm sure I could clip the buffalo, but I'm not sure I could just you know take it out one shot. Maybe if I'm lucky Well next year or next we'll go out shooting at moving targets Yeah, Michigan you guys got hunting season starting there or rifle season right? Bow is already going on right you can go You can bow hunt through rightful season and muddle in season up here. Yeah, but bow hunting season is already going on. It's already started. Oh yeah, that's been since October 1st. See, that's more my style of if I'm going to hunt something that's alive, I want to hunt it sneakily and then shoot it to where it never knows where it came from. I like that idea. That's the only time I ever went deer hunting. That's idiot. My dad's M1 Grand wouldn't be any good for hunting deer. And I just told him that, well, it was pretty damn good for hunting men. And he went on and on about. Then he started betting me money. I got up to 200 bucks before I said to him, well, you know where to go. And you got the license and all that. Get the license, we'll see. And then the idiot bitched about me shooting the deer in the head. Why? Oh, he probably wanted to stuff it, huh? trophy hunter. I guess maybe but I only thing I replied was it's dead, right? You didn't want to run to me. Yeah, I'd hunt with an AR-15. Hell, it's good enough for the combat field. I'm sorry. If it will kill somebody on the battlefield, it will kill an animal. You can hunt with it. I know Michigan's got a little anal about, you know, the crossbow. You have to prove that you're disabled to hunt with a crossbow in Michigan unless they change that law. Okay, great. I always wanted to go in there with somebody blind and get them hunting. It's been changed because everyone can hunt with a crossbow now in Michigan. Oh everybody can? Oh, that's good. That's fun. Yeah, because I do. I used to do it anyway. I'd like to have a crossbow. Alright, we've got the... That crossbow's nice. We've got the intelligence report coming up next with mark and BK stay tuned guys We'll be right back after this short break. Say good evening.

I dreamed the other night that well I didn't understand. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his head. 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. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But Tyrant flavored 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 and home 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... 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 god and sh... 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 will be. 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? O sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic in each God-given right. And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke he'd vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled, 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? Is this... Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is the Evening Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Cornke. And Butter Knife. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories southwest, east, north, and southwest. Ladies and gentlemen, you were listening to us on... radio.4mg.com. We're also on AM and FM microstations, CB base stations, and UltraNet hallmark and Golden Spike technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. And just a quick reminder, one of our Golden Girls from South Cleveland who helped to set up the original UltraNet technology, the hallmark net base, was in the hospital. We thought she might be in the hospital for a little bit there, but it turns out everything went well. They had her in and out in one day. She's home and the girls, of course, just gave us a thumbs up. Everybody's fine. But when you're in your middle 90s, things happen. So again, they're being cautious rather than taking any chances. Our goal, live as long as you can just to frustrate the government because they hate it when all you people who are thinking live longer. So That's the mission. That's what we're trying to do. Anyway, BK, what's it like in your neck? What's the date today? It was jumping off the wall over there in the middle of the country, right off the big muddy Mississippi. It is 8 November 2019. It is Friday evening. It is the last hour of the day and the week for the Intelligence Report. And that makes us Quartermasters Corner. And what's going on around here? It's cold. I don't like it. This is early November and it's really feeling like well into December at this point. It's supposed to have thought out over the weekend and I'll be happier. But, man, we go back and forth between days that are super windy and there's nothing. I'm kind of looking for a middle breeze and I'm not getting it. When the winds are suitable for other stuff, it's raining. Dang, you know, and the weather reports aren't much better. I look at all, you know, three or four of these weather sites and say, oh, okay, great. It looks like it's going to rain tonight, you know, this evening. I'll go out this afternoon and pack up all my stuff and I go out in the driveway. It's raining. Dang it. I mean those guys. Yeah, what? They don't even get correct conditions correct. That just drives me nutty. There's something wrong with this. Maybe they're farming it out to India or something like that and they've got no data feed or whatnot. But this is actually kind of crazy. It's a little bit disappointing to see infrastructure that used to work better and no longer works as well as it did. On the other hand, I imagine the Romans experience the same sort of thing during the decline of their empire. You know, they would remember things that worked better than they do in their own adult lifetimes and just kind of watch it deteriorate. That's actually become kind of an archetype. I used to read tons and tons of science fiction back when my eyes were better and we didn't have an internet. I would read these things called paperbacks. They seemed to be going out of fashion. nowadays. But an awful lot of these things would be set in the universe where there's an ancient technology that worked wonderfully and nobody knows how it functions and sometimes the devices are still functional and sometimes they're dead. They find things in archaeological sites and say, wow, this glow lamp still works after 3,000 years. There's a couple of dead ones and so on and so forth. The concept of deteriorating infrastructure is not a new one, but I wish it were a thing of fiction, not of real life. Oh, well. There's a couple of items here that I want to trot out in front of people, even though you've heard it before. And we'll just keep hitting them while they're alive. You can still get that case of 45 filters at gunpartscorp.com for the low, low price of $164 for a case of 45 filters. This is the bargain of this decade and probably the last bargain we're going to see in chemical protective gear, probably ever. These are 60 millimeter filters and they fit the fin gas masks and the Canadian seat, the rees, and probably a couple of other variants and so on. They do not fit your NATO mask. Your NATO mask is a 40 millimeter ring. These are a 60 millimeter ring. I don't really see much point in having changed that one way or the other. It seems a little bit silly to change the standard. They both work fine, it's not like 40 versus 60 restricts your airspace or anything like that. I don't see the point in it. But they did it. At any rate, if you have a 60 millimeter mask, you can with an adapter use the 40 millimeter filters, but not the other way around. So strangely enough, we're in a situation where buying the obsolete equipment actually gives you something a little bit better and more versatile than the current equipment for as long as you can actually get filters for the obsolete stuff. And obsolete does not mean it doesn't work, it just means it's not the current stuff. In this case the m9 the fin masks, you know that you go knockoffs that kind of stuff The Canadian c3s all of those use a 60 millimeter filters and that's what these are $164 and anything over $100 gun parts Corp is free shipping. So that's that's really a bargain gang $164 for for 45 of these things and That's just a hair over $3 per filter. Compare that to what they want for the 40mm filters. You can still get them. We don't know how many of these cases they still have in stock. They went a little crazy on the price a while back and I'm sure they sold zero units at that price. So they brought it back down to reality, not quite as low as they had been in the past, but reality. So you can still get them, and I recommend that we get them and we not just let them sit on the shelf for Antifa to collect, okay? We ought to have them instead. Mark? Yeah, as a matter of fact, there are a number of masks that quickly and easily utilize the 60 millimeter, so that's what you're focusing on. There are a number of the Nokia masks, the Finnish issue masks that are winterized automatically. They come that way. So if you're looking at the northern climes like where we are, and by the way, BK, you're, if you look on the weather map, the wind is coming down across the plains north of you, coming straight down, hits you, goes across and wings around a big J hook and comes up underneath and hits us. So whatever you're getting we're going to get and then when it changes we're going to get the change too. Yeah it's a big cold smear that came down from the Kanukas Thanyans are sending us their nasty old cold air. Gee guys what did we ever do to get well we did it. No. Who'd have blamed the Canadians? Blame the Canadians. We know that. That's Canada's fault. So anyway, the big thing here again is the Nokia masks are set up for winter operations. Those are the finish masks. The others have winterization kits, but all you have to do is take a look at the front. You'll see the difference in the voice mitter and the air transfer area for exhaust. And there's a reason for that because of actual icing and buildup that takes place. There are winterization kits for the M17 mask and there are some for the M40s and even the M9s, but you've got to find a company that carries them. One of them does have a lot of the knickknacks, so you'll get an understanding of what I'm talking about, is Gun Parts Corp., where the gas mask case filters are, where you have a full case, go through the rest of their chemical protection technology there and you'll see what I'm talking about. with regard to add-on or supplemental or replacement part pieces of equipment for gas masks. There's a number of different models available. Also, for a 30-some box, you can get a fin mask in the metal can. I've never seen that anywhere else. Most of the places do you the marvelous service of ripping open the metal can. Gee, thanks, guys. These guys will offer you one for, you know, 30-some boxes. It's got a mask and a filter and so on. So they could see what was inside. Not that they didn't know, it was instructed on the outside. But that happened. So again, the big advantage here is for the price, you're ending up with a lot more change out, which is something you need to be looking at. And by the way, if you have been watching, There's an interesting batch of sci-fi pieces on YouTube. There are short stories, some as little as 067 minutes, but apparently the new movie track for Little Windows is about 11 to 15. So you actually get some intricate imagery going on. One of the amazing things that is an ongoing theme with several of these future, you know, horrible condition disaster. We don't know what happened but it's after the holy you know cost slash you know terrible storm slash nuclear war slash you know rocks from above. The person hunting for filters or constantly at least looking for filters. Now it's kind of interesting because again we've pointed out many times that you know spares nothing lasts forever but in Hollywood usually it does. only when they need a plot complication does something finally work the way it's supposed to and have the longevity that would normally be expected for anybody with any experience. Just little heads up there. But in these new theme pieces, it's the old story going from one location to the next and... Almost, but oh wait, but there's a case of filters in this old abandoned rail car and oh look, there's not a bad... Oh, there's a good one. You know they take the old one off and screw the new one in and they're breathing like Darth Vader again Okay, so there's but there are several that as an integrated theme now, which I think is rather fascinating It's something that hasn't been you know the critical issue idea, but First you got to have all those filters out there to be able to find them in all those caches Which means we need to get buying And chances are we wouldn't be just leaving them laying around. Let's remind everybody of that too, especially since we know the value of the technology. pretty much way ahead of the curve before everybody else. Let's point that out too. That's something that we think about. It's kind of a pain to cut open the old ones and replace the interiors with new activated carbon and you never know whether you got it in properly and all that sort of stuff. You can do it, but for $3 and something to pop, just get a whole case full of factory made ones. Come on, don't steal it. And carry spares in your backpack. Remember that. Carry spares with you. There's no reason not to. Especially when you get them for the right price like that. That's the other part of the math formula here that everybody needs to remember is reasonably priced means you can afford to have that case on the shelf. Now another thing to take into consideration is again with the especially group purchases is if you've got 10, 12, 13 people or more I would say by two cases simply because again something we're just talking about is progressive change out but also cashing material in other locations. Today I just made a hell of a deal on something that was really unique. It's actually going to be used for NBC defense but rubber gloves and it was at Menards basically $1.29 a set And with the return, it's $1.29 for the, they cost $1.29 for a 10 pack. And you get $1.29 back in refund. So, doesn't that make those like kind of free? I would recommend if you have a Menards in the area, you might want to do this. Menards does these things where they have promotionals. And you have to still get a little slip at the checkout area. There's a hundred different codes, thousand actually. And you get the little slip of paper, you mail in your receipt, they send you Menard's cash slash a credit card type system or well a debit type card. And you re-spend the money. Well, in other words, you're getting this stuff for free. Yeah, you gotta go through 30 sub, what was it? 50 some cents worth of postage. Big deal, I can handle that. But the idea is that these can go into your kits and you're not out anything. Like I said, any place where we can get free or almost free, you know, cheap as possible, we need to be taking advantage of that. We need to do this. In this case, these are the gloves or replacement gloves that you're going to be chucking after you, let's say you do a decon. One of the last things, by the way, that you take off. You're going to be folding these into themselves, rolling them into the decontamination bucket, and they're going to be the last thing that gets peppered with chlorine bleach, and then the lid gets put on it, and now it's bio waste. You're going to need replacements, spares. Filters are the same way. You're going to need spares. You're going to need replacements. So with BKers, you know, harping on this, we're all harping on it. You know that. It's not like we're trying to be mean. We're trying to... Save your lives. Okay, we're not gonna probably be around when you need to breathe. You know what I mean? We're not gonna be there probably So it would be good if you continue to breathe. We think it'd be nice if you're listening. You're probably a friend This is why we're bringing these subjects up. Okay? We're not trying to keep as many of our people alive as possible. Another thing real quick, and it's on the NBC category so I'm going to throw this in. The first items we were talking about, including checking out some of the other technology that I've explained down the air, but it's available at GunPartsCorp.com. GunPartsCorp.com www.GunPartsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorpsCorps Go to the top of the page and the little to the right on the upper header there You've got the different subjects and of course you can go to clearance closeouts But also you've got military surplus and such and there's subcategories There's a whole subcategory for gas mask and NBC protection equipment personal protective gear. Okay? Next though over at Sportsman's Guide And if you need chem suits that are like dual purpose, remember most governments do this, the fins, all of their, because they're in the Arctic Circle, all of their decon and chem gear is also cold weather and wet weather gear. They figure one and the same. You're going to use it for whatever, when the final time comes, and you use it for chemical. Again, you'll either be decontaminating the outer, you know, plastic shell or you're going to chuck it, one or the other. Well, you need more. What? Protecting your body from a hostile environment is protecting your body from a hostile environment? What a novel concept. Yeah, and remember, the sticky stuff that you just got in your arm, you may wonder why starting to scratch and the skin is turning purple and then black and fingernails are falling out. Probably a good idea to have your butt covered so you don't you know touch and bathe in this stuff Well, we've been another sci-fi subject for a long time, but also part of the you know themes with a lot of the no Pocky clips and post Pocky clips warfare situations They have over at Sportsman's Guide and by the way for any of you needed to rain gear, okay? Mil-tech waterproof rain suit. This is Basically Mil-tech is I think an extension of Rothko still But MilTech does what are duplicates and good quality duplicates, good enough to be serviceable, of basic items that we see in the system that usually become so pricey. This is, you know, China Sport makes the stuff. MilTech's the company name that does the contracting. $16.19 for rain suits. Now this is a very good price because these are in tactical, they are tactical rain gear. It's basically a copy of the standard U.S. and present NATO rain suits, pants and coat type. They're not Gore-Tex. These are apparently the nylon striated Plastine, same as the Poncho material. The big thing is that it comes in a couple of different, well first of all in sizes it comes from small, apparently mediums are all sold out, small, large, extra-large and extra-extra-large. So if you're a big person, there's big sizes. And I've said before, that's kind of rare. You don't find that very often. However, they do have up to 2X and they have Fleck-Carn camo. Now they only have the Fleck-Carn in extra large and smaller, but Olive-drab, black or Army-digital, in fact let's see what Army-digital happens here. Let's see if we can go to, yep we can. So you got basically the ACU, black or olive green for all sizes. 2x, that's going to be as big as you go. That's the colors you have to go with as far as for the big, big size. But that is still a good price. Go with the olive green. Now, by the way, these make chem suits. If that's what you got, that's what you got. And these do have an integrated hood. So if you do not have a chem hood for your gas mask, remember, you bring the thing up over, you don your mask. You bring the hood up over the mask and you cinch it. You bring in that cinch strap and bring it right down underneath the chin and that will seal up basically most of the area around the head. That'll deal with the problem to get you through the situation. But most important is 16.19. $16.19 a set is probably the cheapest price I've seen for these in any time, you know, for quite a few years now. I've bought tonnage on this stuff. In fact, before Swiss got burned out, I bought all of their flick-turn that they had left in bins. In fact, just after I got it, some of it I shipped to the guys up there in Oregon for the standoff. Some of it got shipped over to the Bundy Ranch. In fact, several pallets to one, several pallets to the other. It was cheaper than this but only because it was blend. It was the odd stuff coming in. This is a good price for new out of the box, brand new in the package. You're going to be the first one wearing it. And it can be used as rain gear or it can be used as a chem suit and it does come in camouflage. So you have an option of black, olive drab, digital. And in anything other than extra small, in other words, extra large, large or small, you can get fleck tarn. And if you're using the fleck tarn pattern for your unit, a lot of people are. Or if you just want a green camel pattern because you want to keep that shade range in play, then the fleck tarn would be your choice. Of course, it's only going to be extra large and smaller, which are still pretty good size. Remember, rain suit is designed to go over all the rest of your junk. Always remember that. It's designed to go over everything else you wear, including your coat. So it's going to be big, should be big, just as a heads up. But the 2X, a lot of you guys need 2X. Grab it in the olive green or grab it in the Army Digital if that'll fit for your area of operation and you're ready to go. And that's it. Remember the radio rules. Say again the vendor. Yep, it is SportsmansGuide.com, www.sportsmansguide.com. That's www.sportsmansguide.com. The item is MilTech Waterproof Rain Suit. That again is MILTEC Waterproof Rain Suit and the item number is WX2-706025. Again that's 706025. One more time WX2-706025. And definitely a good buy if you like the Flecktarn. And it is a good pattern. The biggest problem has been finding in any good quantity. And again, in numbers. Any company that has it. Bill, the ones I've dealt with at wholesale, as far as getting more replacing in any good quantity, well that was back at the end of the Cold War and into the Otts. That's about the latest where we saw the big, big, big batches of stuff. Everything comes to an end, guys. You know what I mean? There's only so much water in the bathtub. So, now the new stuff or the replacement stuff is being marketed out to supplement because of the interest in the product. But this is a good price. $16.19 a set. And then remember, if you spend $49 at Sportsman's Guide, shipping is free after that. So it doesn't take much if you go into the clearance section to find all those other goodies that are out there. They just put these on sale. These weren't on sale a few days ago. So they've just now been put into the market. And again, they might even come down if we eat a little bit, but I'd be willing to bet the bigger sizes, the extra-largest will dry up first. Simply because you can always put a bigger size suit on a smaller person, but not the other way around. And that's how supply sergeants and preparedness people are looking at the gear that they're putting on the shelf for spares. Remember the rule of thumb, the quarter master only has two sizes, too big and too small. You approve it too big. Yeah, because getting two pairs of small won't be any good. So we need to make sure if we can pick up bigger stuff, pick up what you can while you can and take advantage of these deals and clearances. There's other companies, but Sportsman's Guide has been doing some really Goodbyes in the last couple of weeks. I've been having to mention they still have some of the body armor They will have more of that come down right now the British surplus police ballistic vests are down to $63 apiece Those are the you've seen those like in hot fuzz Any of the British police mysteries overseas like from the BBC? The cops are wearing the black outer armor. It's like an anti stab ballistic vest That's the vest that's come down to 63. It was quite a bit more earlier on. In fact, they didn't get it that long ago, but they're probably down in numbers. That's usually why they bring the price down. But there are other vests, and again, body armor, better, you know, any body armor is better than your butt hanging in the breeze. It's that simple. Everything helps, and some of this helps more than you might suspect. So... take advantage of it while you can and go through all the rest of the deals and clearance sections for oh, they just brought another one down in price. German police surplus level one protection, forgive me, protective vest with Kevlar of course, $145 which it's like new, appears to be new. Probably again, new old inventory, that's something we've been talking about. It's the most common situation with the stuff that's been coming out where there rotating inventory accordingly. Anyway, BK jump in there. Go ahead sir. What else you got? Yeah, I was going to comment. You know, the popular view, the outdated concept is that the British bobbies of course have no firearms and you know everybody's just compliant and all it takes is a badge to you know order people to cease and desist from their disorderly activities and we're all very genteel and all that sort of stuff. One wonders why they might possibly be upgrading their potty armor and that stuff. Wouldn't have anything to do with a swarm of locusts arriving from the Middle East would it? No. So we can benefit from their upgrade programs. They're getting rid of the old stuff. Again, much of this has been new. The stuff that we've already gotten in, I would say, I would rate most of it as excellent slash unissued. Only in the percentage that's used that we've gotten so far in the armor, as far as out of the batch where it says it's all been used. Nine out of ten are new, and the tenth one, there's very little use. You can tell the difference. You'll know that, especially with the Velcro. So, just little heads up there again. The, uh, uh, the... I imagine the ones that were heavily used have gone home with somebody. Well, you know, I'll tell you what, they're having a problem, they've already come down and priced them, but they don't have an... Oh, yes, they do have an amount of clearance, but they're expensive. Uh, is the UN gear. The UN vest... are worn. Okay, they've got spots in them that are worn, okay, but they just did, obviously if you were stuck in a UN unit, by God, you better cover yourself with body armor, somebody wants to shoot you. But it's interesting that the surplus blue, you know, UN blue vests are the ones that are beaters, and they're also more expensive because they are supposedly a little better armor, but I don't know, the carrier is half the battle. If the carrier is not holding together, the armor is not going to be where it needs to be down the road when you're using it. Plus it's in the UN blues, so for camouflage, yes, all there was to blend in if you were trying to go through a checkpoint. And you do have that Star Wars lived in look because of the way they're beat up. But for the money, like I said, the ones we've been mentioning on the air are your first best choice. For art, you know, as far as like the Polish gear, there's none of the Polish vests that I've seen so far that if they were used, it was basically taken out of the package, put on the shelf, maybe one or two were guard duty and guard mount worn, but the kind of wear is where somebody just had them on. You can tell when you've had them in the field where you have dirt and mud and crud and you wipe it back off and they'll do an arsenal cleanup on the stuff. I've seen too many millions of pieces like that. And I mean, I've lost count. As far as this kind of equipment, it's real easy to see because remember you're using that nylon shell and or nylon and you know, it could be Cordura. But the bottom line is that plastic wears in a certain way and it's very apparent when it's been used, washed, used, washed. None of this stuff looks like that. So it's a brand new batch of inventory. The Hungarian ceramic armor, I should mention that, it's still full price. But well, I've seen five of those now that one of the one of the guys picked up for the whole unit They all bought ceramic armor the Hungarian camouflage. It's brand new I mean it literally you know it is the labels are crisp. Nothing has been touched You did the little threads, you know little excess threads are still where they should be Because there's always a little over over cut when they do the threading They're excellent. They are literally just brand new out of the box slash old inventory and those are rifle stopper vests. Those are designed to do everything everybody thinks they want from a vest now. They're not bulletproof. There is no such thing as bulletproof, but they are a high protection, high density armor and they're good. So any of these so far, I'm like I said, I wouldn't have any problem wearing myself. So it's just a matter of what do you have in the way of a budget and what can you choose to move on and pick up. I did bring this up yesterday and I'm actually going to bring it up now. There's one other item, it's not body armor. My kids all grew up with these though because we were buying them when the Russians, first we were buying tons of them when the East German came out. For those of you who are probably familiar with the old Russian Yershanka hats, Right now the Chinese are bringing some in. They have them in clearance over at Sportsman's Guide. But the only size they have is small, okay? Apparently. That's what they have left. They're in the navy blue and it's Chinese military surplus Ushanka hats. But if you've got kids, these are perfect kids hats. I mean really, they've got the big furry ear drops. They've got the large forehead fur pad. $7.69, okay? Plus they look cool. Everybody loves them, okay? So the big thing is that you can also reenact, let's see, the Christmas, you remember the Christmas story? Remember you'll shoot your eyes out. Take a look at the hats the kids were wearing. It's not hard for you to say, dude, it's retro, man. And everybody will go, oh yeah, yeah, you're right, oh, retro, yeah. But, for what they are, they work really well. They are a sub-zero weather hat. Like I said, my kids grew up with them. I've always had them for as long as they've been alive because I started buying this stuff in tonnage like this years ago. And I had some really good connections for the cold weather, the extreme Russian and East German cold weather gear way back when it first came in. So, they are definitely worthwhile. Then they do have others. They've got the Czech military surplus Ushanka hats. These are again the extreme cold weather hats. Two pack, they're like new slash new, and I've had these, they are like new. $15.29, so basically that's $7.50 a hat, which is not bad. Those are in OD green and loam for the first. So that's a good pattern. Again, same basic hat, but from another country. and they are excellent cold weather gear plus the Czech are in full-size range so well actually no forgive me they're out of the largest already man they'll sold out today well cold weather right BK you get you Missouri got hit with cold weather cold weather gear need to be bought that's how it works and we're getting hit the same way they do have small and mediums in those so if you've got a medium-sized head which is probably on seven and a quarter they should fit just fine. So that's another solution, not just complaining about the problems. Go ahead, please. Okay, again, another item that we've mentioned previously, but it's still available, and you guys should be sucking these guys up at B-G Micro. BravoGolfMicro.com. Go ahead and just punch into the search mechanism the word battery. and you will find that they're offering the CR123 batteries in lithium. These are primary cells. They're not rechargeable, but they're just the thing that some of your high-tech flashlights, but especially your night vision gear, wants. They are offering these batteries at 79 cents a piece. Take a look on Amazon, which you can buy these things for anywhere from $2 to $4 a pop. These are, they say they're 2021 and beyond dated, which means that they've been on the shelf for quite a while, you know, since the dates are always 10 years out on lithium batteries. But the date on lithium batteries, or all batteries for that matter, is an estimate of when they hit the 95% capacity threshold. And, you know, 5% down is not a huge thing. but for getting within a year or two of five percent down, you're getting two-thirds off or more on the cost of these batteries. So take a look at BG Micro, that's Bravo Golf Micro, and don't buy two or three of these things. I mean, they've got a flat rate, you know, $7 shipping deal. They have always been very, very fair on the shipping. They only charge you the actual shipping cost. They're sending you one of these postal boxes, priority mail. It costs them $6.95 or whatnot, and they charge you $6.95 for it. So they're just charging you the exact shipping cost. They're always very, very fair about that sort of thing. If you don't need a whole box full of these batteries, there's lots of other odds and ends that are useful there. their spotty they're not nearly as comprehensive as the other electronic sources but you know they have some deals once in a while uh... right at the moment they're offering ten percent off on all the electro mechanical that's uh... you know switches knobs relays all that kind of stuff so if you need some of that that's not a good time to grab some of those fill up the rest of the box but you know my my thought on this at seventy nine percent of peace you know don't buy two or three by fifty of them If you don't need that many, well there's going to be some character out there that's got fancy second, third generation night vision gear and he's only got two batteries. You know, you just have to knuckle your forehead and think, what are these characters thinking? But you know it's going to be the case. It's like these people that have thousand dollar rifles and they've got two boxes of ammunition. You know, people don't change. The consumables are not sexy, so they don't like to think about this stuff. But it matters. An awful lot of the commercial night vision will also accept double A. So, you know, that's useful. But, you know, they don't have the same shelf life as the lithium batteries. So, you know, lithium is a really different battery. Plus, more of the lithium batteries will die, but they don't leak. So, you know, whereas the double A's, you don't want to leave double A's in your expensive equipment because when they leak, they leak sodium hydroxide and that's very toxic stuff and it can be very bad. So, you know, if you don't want to do that, if you're leaving the battery in there, you're not supposed to leave the battery in there at all. But if you can do it, do it with a lithium battery. But, you know, lithium batteries have a lot of poop through the weight, and, you know, they provide a nice high voltage at 3 volts instead of, you know, one in its order. Anybody out the door, because they'll try to sneak out. Okay, sorry about that. We got somebody, we got, Cap Monahan's here as a matter of fact. Yeah, we heard an open mic, you know, a little bit of cap management there. But, you know, at 79 cents a piece, you're not going to be able to touch this. So, you know, Bravo Golf Micro, BGmicro.com. And just let these guys dry. They go in and out of stock on this sort of stuff. So don't just assume it's going to be available in a month. This is a good item and these haven't been in stock for a while. They're in stock now. Grab them while you can. My advice is get 50 of them or what have you. It depends on available resources. Just have a stack of them sitting on the shelf. Because even if they're dated, say, 2021, and you get to 2021, they don't turn to powder on that date. That just means they're a little bit lower in capacity than when they were brand new in meeting spec. That's all there is to it. Lithium batteries will last longer than your alkalins. Your alkalins will last a lot longer than the date specs, as I've talked about that before. I'm burning up my alkalins that I bought that are 2009. you know i got him cheap in l.a. and and some of them are still good now i'm using them because they are dying you know if you had a time but uh... you know the lithiums are much much better on shelf life so you know grab these guys uh... while you can this is this is an opportunity uh... real quick one of the things that i was going to mention is over at b c micro they have a light l e d fixture uh... it is uh... Actually what it is, is the individual round modules, the make up letters or make up a configuration for being able to do X's, whatever. Or I guess go, no go. Anyway, apparently these are brand new or like, if not brand new, they're like new. And their variable output, they are listed there for a ridiculously cheap price. I think it was like $3 a unit. Are these the green, yellow, etc. guys from Japan? Yeah, they're over in the light section and forgive me for some reason I'm trying to load up BC Micro and it does not want to cooperate at all and I've been there and I know... Bravo Golf Micro. BravoGolfMicro.com. There's why I'm having a problem. That might be okay. Anyway, hold on a second here, one of the things about these, and I don't know why I've got, my mic keeps popping up, see, there we go, well, kind of hiccuping still. In the, not power, hold on, I'll pull it up here in a second, tools, wire, cable, connectors, clearance, let's check the clearance section out real quick. They did have a number of other things like LEDs, diodes and capacitors, guys, for those of you who are looking for replacements for certain things to have on standby, You might want to go through their inventory there. Let's see if I've got anything left in my cart that might help me because I put it in my cart, but it looks like... Oh, it is good. All right, here we go. LED cluster module. Oh, forgive me. The overall order was $3. It's $0.35 a unit for these. These are self-packaged, contained, waterproof, $0.35 a unit. What I was doing is $3.50 for $10. And in fact, I'm going to boost that to 40 units. But the LED clusters are BG part number LED1054. Yeah, those are the ones that from from sign modules and yeah, exactly there's some yellow green ones Yeah, and if you use if you pair a red and a yellow and a green and run them all at the same time You're getting something vaguely approximating white light, you know, I mean kind of sort of but these things are Conveniently packaged in little plastic cylinders so you can use them right off the bat No fooling around or soldering or anything and they run on 12 volts. So that's very convenient also Yeah, the sign is saying a 288 module, so they got 288 marketable pieces per sign, which are these little kits. Let's see, 12 to 15 volts, they draw 90 milliamps. If both sets of LEDs are hooked up, they're easily mountable in a number of different ways with regular screws. All the information is available on the page here. So they're basically half price. They were 69 cents now, they're 35 cents a piece. For what these are, these make great utility like emergency lighting. By the way, if they are in green or in red, those are both good colors. Green would be preferred with night vision around. Red will still show up, of course, when you're using night vision, but Either way, for reducing light damage for normal night vision, these colors are both desirable and useful for what we're normally doing for blackout lighting. Now, of course, brightness will vary depending on how much, the more power you put into them, the more they're going to hook up on you. And the brighter they're going to be, but you can regulate that. And in fact, these are a very useful Project light for a number of different activities depending on what it is you choose to do so and what you might be playing with so it's over at again BG micro.com and the item number is LED 1054 LED 1054 There were one or two other items one of them is a 3 DB cellular whip antenna 10 inch from the base to the top and Those are 348 a piece which makes them ridiculously throwaway price. And the other, which is rather interesting, of course there's the 123 battery that was mentioned or the Duracell, but there's also a 3.7 volt 670 milliamp rechargeable proprietary battery. Now, there's not a whole lot of places everybody would necessarily need this, but for demolitions or for booby traps and whatever else you might have that'd be interesting or maybe something you want to illuminate. 35 cents a piece and these are rechargeables. Now here's the interesting thing. I don't know and I've got them sitting here but I got to dig them out of the box. I've got to double check my power supply on these golf yanks because if they take a 3.7 volt battery and the dimensions aren't too far off, I know for the battery itself, this is a trim line battery by the way, fairly thin. Might be something that could be adaptable. I'm gonna have to look at it to see I haven't a chance to play with these It's 1 3 8 inch wide 3 16th inch thick to 2 inch 2 and 1 16th tall, okay, so basically 1 3 3 8 by 2 and 1 16th So it's not very large at all. That'll fit almost any no small battery space but There are adapters and all kinds of pre-connectors and reconnectors you can get for little or nothing. So this might be something interesting to experiment with. Just a heads up because they were $3 a battery and they are rechargeable. Now they're $0.35. Right now these guys are fairly thin Yeah, I haven't pulled apart a Balfang battery pack because I haven't worn any out I expect two or three of these things would probably fit inside there They are 3.7 so they would probably charge to the standard, you know charger base But you'd want to stuff two or three in there if you could and parallel them up so that you know They're all running that would be a bit of a ghetto rig but it would work and you know if you can If you can rehabilitate one of your radio battery packs for a dollar, they're only 670 mAh, so they're not going to run all day. But for a dollar, come on guys. It'll make noise. Okay, the thing is, remember, the other thing is that there's other items, I'm going to find out what this is. It could be only one or two applications, but remember, it is a lithium-ion battery. So it's not a bad battery. It's a decent little unit for 35 cents. Figure out what to do with it. It's what it comes down to. Where can we apply it? And remember, with a wall wart and a few other throwaway items from other sources, I mean, not necessarily buying them, but just stuff you find, you could set up a little lighting system or you could set up an alarm system, whatever you want, and you've got a decent battery to work with right from the get go. with a little solar panel charger attached to everything, a little bit of regulation, during the day it's off, during the night it's on. Yeah, take a look on eBay. You can find little modules for a couple of dollars that are charge controllers for lithium-ion batteries. Yeah. Because they're twitchy beasts and you don't want to just apply a flat 4.2 volts to the things, you know, open circuit, unless you're sitting there watching it in person. Right, we don't want it boiling, cooking, or creating new fire experiences for you in your little workshop. That's one of the most important... Yeah, they do enough of that when they're not under charge, you know, when it's just being used. But, you know, you can't beat the power density yet. We would really like to be able to beat the power density on lithium ions, but that's the technology that we've got in the field right now. And there are a few standard flat sizes like this, and this is one of them. So, you know, this will fit in a lot of things. Even even when we're talking okay, the picture isn't very big, but it's big enough to read caution risk of explosion dispose of properly, do not short circuit warning danger, crush or dispose of in fire. Do not put this in a fire. Well we try not to do it with any batteries anyway. And of course it's made in Kineade. That's not a surprise because again this is a proprietary battery. This was built for a particular project. It could be a smaller FRS radio because like I said I picked up a set the other day for two dollars that are still in the blister pack and I've never seen any this small. But they're like about the size of two and a half Biclighters side by side. You know, if you put two lighters side by side, that's the size of the thing. And it comes with onboard chargeable batteries. I haven't even opened the back. I haven't taken it out of the blister pack yet. But it is proprietary. The batteries are unique. So it's a one-time deal, maybe, or a long way charge. When they stop charging, Probably wouldn't be keeping them online unless I could come up with another power source either an outside, you know battery holder or something like that I imagine that these were production run for tablets cheap Chinese cell phones Something along those lines. Yeah, and again, well for we keep talking about this stuff. It's over at BG micro.com and again, they're Phone number, oh yeah but put the phone number out there too. 833-2464276. 833-2464276. Well yeah, 833 B.G. Micro, like they say. Yeah. And hold on, let's see. Do do do do. I'm trying to see if there's anything else. And B.G. Make sure that nobody makes that. There we go. Another thing real quick, go through all the other stuff they've got on the shelf. There's a bunch of odds and ends. There's all kinds of unique things, wire connectors, cables, covers, surplus, brand new out of the box, old inventory, new inventory, you know, bulk items. So if you take a look, they're not a big bulkier, but they do offer quantity prices. So you might have something in here that's useful for a project you're working on. or something where you need, like I said, spares or replacements for something because you've already figured out what you need, now you're trying to find it. Go through these little companies like this and you never know what's going to show up. I've got to go through their connectors. I haven't had a chance to do that yet. One of the things I'm always interested in are adapters. Try to buy one of everything. Why? That way when I run into something, I will have it when I need it so I actually can put something together. That's been our trick for being in the field and doing field radio for 30 years. Whenever we go somewhere, I've got a little bat-trick bag that's the size of two shoe boxes and cables, cable connectors, every kind of power supply connector you could possibly imagine. every size of adapter down and up and multi-prong to single prong 3.5 millimeter mono to you know stereo to take your pick whatever you never know what you're going to have to pull hook up to when you get to the other end in order to get the the field connection so we can go to the network where edward is and that's something that we've always been prepared for so we don't get caught flat-footed but there's a lot of other situations where you may run into equipment And it's good to have, if you see them laying around even, just watch yard sales. Somebody's got a whole bunch of electronic junk sitting there. There's a whole bunch of adapters or spare little mini micro plugs and such. If they're in the free box especially, snag them all, put them in those little sandwich bags, little snack sized ones. Keep them clean, keep them separate, and itemize them so you know where they are. Put them in a carrier. And when the time comes, that one time use it will pay for all the other times it's set on the shelf and stared back at you. Just that simple. And again, useful tool. Yeah, and the five different things you bought that you didn't need, the one that you do pull out of the box and you need it, it's worth everything, the cost of everything else. Exactly. A lot of little penny items and multi-penny items too there, especially for you guys building up micro-FM radios. You're going to want to go through their components section, but their clearance section right now, there's a bunch of stuff they've got. They're in quantity. Penny's an item, two cents here, nine cents there, or a dollar or 50 cents for dozens of. So if you are looking for particular useful components, where you make your, you know, your prototyping up is with this technology. You use this stuff to get your bass going and then if you can buy a better deal, you go to the better deal, but if you got the best deal right here with this company, buy them out. Okay, we've done that before. Transistors, by the way, one of the most expensive items that you will have to replace with a lot of older sound equipment are transistors. and amazingly enough they've got a lot of transistors. Not all the most sophisticated. The big quarter and quarter packs. Those are a little hard to find and there's now a big sliding scale price wise on those. But a lot of the other transistors just aren't out there like they were. So if you see a little bundle here or a little pack there, pick them up and put them in your kit. You never know. Those are something that can go wrong, go south. Diodes are another thing. Diodes are the most susceptible to EMP and microwave attack. Bear in mind that you can rig a P-channel FET to serve as a diode and it's a much, much higher current device than a conventional diode. So, you know, go ahead and Google for that, you know, P-channel FET, diode or rectifier. That's an old trick that people can use. If you use a P-channel FET and wire, you know, two of the connectors together, that thing acts like a diode and you'll be astonished at the very low on resistance of the things. They outperform silicon diodes tremendously in the past. They've been horribly expensive. They aren't all that expensive now, especially if you buy it, you know, from an outfit like BG Micro and they're running a special. So P-channel fats and, you know, look it up. It's not an obvious thing, but some people noticed that years ago and they've been using that. That's that's a cute trick. Yeah, as a matter of fact, before I forget, there are some aircraft lamps and lighting for some of you guys that need air spec. You might want to check that out. Again, like I said, go to this page. We've talked about it several times. They've got some neat little IR illuminator packs, you know, plates that can be hooked up in a number of different ways. You guys all have night vision, right? So we're at the top. We're going to have to take off here in a minute. Panasonic transducers, by the way, too. I hear the music. God bless our republic. Death to the New World Order. We shall prevail ladies and gentlemen. The Empire's on a run. We are on a march both day and night with all of our spares and batteries and stuff. Ah, it burns! Yeah, but it burns so good. We'll be back Monday same time. BK, thank you for being there sir. You're welcome. For everybody out there, guys, pay attention. We gave you some resources. Hopefully you wrote them down. Remember, they are in the archives. Ed, taking over, more LTR coming up. Don't you touch that dial. We're taking off for the weekend. God bless. Bye bye.
