Summary
Mark Koernke discussed preparedness measures including water storage, food procurement strategies (emphasizing canned goods and lima beans over freeze-dried options), and fuel management. He promoted Axion red-blue-green rifle sights and monoculars as $25 donations. The show covered Michigan militia organizing efforts, including formation of a new light mechanized unit called the Green Horse Company, and detailed discussions on vehicle modifications for evacuation readiness, including spare tire mounting, fuel tank configurations, and field repair kits. Callers contributed information on copper pennies, rhodium metal value, and tire repair systems.

You know, the right to bear arms is because that's the last form of defense against tyranny, not to hunt, to protect yourself from the police. Anybody that wants to disarm me can drop dead. Anybody that wants to make me unarmed and helpless, people that want to literally create the proven places, innocents are killed, called gun-free zones, we're going to beat you out of office or suck on my machine. Time Worlds. Politicians. Look, okay, just get any blunt objects together, alright? If you get cornered, bash him in the head, that seems to work out. Kick together, stay sharp, and follow me. I had a dream the other night that, well, I didn't understand. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land is 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 state. You read about the current news in a regulated press. And you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm. and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be. 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? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic and each God-given right. And pray to God, keep the torch of freedom 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 still the land of the free? Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. This is the first hour of the afternoon in intelligence for Portimark-Korky. 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 central. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on libertytreeradio.4mg.com. Liberty Tree Radio on satellite and we are on AM and FM microstations, CB base stations, and UltraNet, Hallmark, and Golden Spike Technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. Good afternoon to all of our friends out there in Lower Fortean, including the great state of Jefferson along with Colus, the Outline Two States territories to end the clock, 5.09 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Is it Thursday already? Yes, it is. It's Thursday. It is the 17th of June. It is the 13th year of open Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K 2021, old earth calendar, 2021 battle for the republic, the dance of swords. And let the dance begin. A bunch of stuff happening all over the country. We've got a FEMA cluster up in the Saginaw Bay City area and over towards the middle of the state. But we also have other deployments around the state that everybody is monitoring and photographing right now. Video taping and photographing. And we've got cameras on station. Those little ice cubes and little micro cameras coming off the hand of you. Just walk by, put them where you want them, and don't act like you're taking pictures. Pick your nose, tie your shoes, leave the camera behind, and then keep right on going. So we have 100% monitor on at least 12 different locations here in Michigan right now. Of course, we are headed towards the weekend. But this is tied into federal and with all the other stuff that we've seen around the country and everybody else is talking about pay attention. And this is why top off your fuel tanks, make sure your water reserves are at eat, do whatever you can to add more water to your water supply. Now it's summertime, boys. And that means that you're going to need more moisture, right? And if power goes off, how much do you really have in reserve? If you empty out, like right here in front of me right now, I've got an Arizona tea bottle. If you empty out a bottle of tea, it's a plastic container. You paid for it. You got city water, that's really fantastic. That stuff's going to be in the pipes forever, but it's especially going to sit in that bottle already prepped with chlorine and purification and sterilization and the water's dead. But it's great because you can pull it out of the tap, fill up a container, and put it on the shelf. If you need to further purify it later, not a problem. You can always pass it through a commercial filter, or you can build a filter, whatever you gotta do. But you've got the water in hand. And if the power goes out, or if they shut the power off intentionally, or they do a... If the Israelis nuke a location in the US, when the Israelis nuke a location in the US? When the Israelis and the traders in America nuke a location in the US and try to start up whatever they're gonna do, Water is going to be life. It is summer time. Now the only good thing, it's been actually contrary to the BS and propaganda, the hottest year we'll ever have. It's like, no it's not. Hell, we've been at 53 degrees at night for the last couple of nights. Great sleep and weather, great work and weather outside too by the way. But during the day in the 70s. It's June. Now, this is normal, I would say that. We have roller coaster weather in Michigan in June. We always do. In fact, we have roller coaster weather all the time in Michigan. Part of that is planetary alignment. It really is serious. That is part of the gravitational effect. Location in the solar system with regard to our overall condition dictates the different long-term weather patterns, and these have been going on for as long as man has existed. So that's one thing you've got to remember. Just if you stupefy everybody and they don't know how to look up at the sky, they won't know how to read the planets and the stars, not because I'm an astrologist, but because I look at astronomy and how it is tied into geology and weather pattern, because that is part of being a weather crow. The other thing, water, obviously food, I can't stress enough, best price for most stuff nowadays. There are some deals on things that are being discontinued that you might find in the store, but Dollar Tree for main course items for the largest can for the least amount of money. Chili, there's swans and stuff, and the one we have here right now, there's a variety of other, well we got Lima beans, I can't stress enough again, I've mentioned this many times. One can of lima beans is like eating meat. Just heads up on that. Butterbean, lima beans, the big beans like that, those are the most valuable food stuff beans. That's why you don't see as many of them. The Brits, of course, used to be called limis. Well, guess what? One of the foodstuffs that was a core foodstuff was what? Lima beans. For what they are, they offer a vast amount of nutrition. Are they real exciting? Actually, I like them. I can eat them every day. We might have to, but in this case, between all the different items that are there, remember, I've been going out and buying a C ration for $3, an MRE for $3 for a main course without the rest of the meal. How much you do a dollar can, you get 15 ounces worth of food, anywhere from 12, which is about the same as the MRE bag. or you get, you know, 14, 15, or even full 16-ounce cans of food stuff, which is more food that you get for a lot less money. You can get three of those cans for the price of one retort pouch MRE right now, and guess what? Which way I'm going. Go to Canvas. Now, here's another thing. Those pop slip cans are a problem for long-term storage. So there's pecking orders to everything that we do. If you're going to give stuff to troops to carry in the field or run out in the field with, and they're going to go out and take off for a bit, you got them on a patrol, they're going to be gone for two, three days, you're going to visit Aunt Molly and bring her back to the retreat, the Ziploc cans are what you give them. That way they're used, you got to use some food anyway. So whatever you're going to use, whatever combination, remember minimal, not gross, it's going to be minimal food intake now because you're going to have to start rationing. The zip cans are your travel cans. Just like, again, the MREs, your freeze dried food is the last you eat, the freeze dried food is the last you eat, the freeze dried food is the last, not the first, it's the last. Why? Because it will last longer. Don't use the freeze dried food first. Use the canned goods first. Freeze dried last. You don't know how long you're going to have to live off of your storage systems. The freeze dried is great. I have a combination. When the freeze dried stuff was cheap, we bought the hell out of it. Okay, when the MREs were cheap, you know, some of you that are listening right now went in with us on a truckload of MREs a couple times over. Why? Because I could get a great price, so I just bought every last thing in one they had. But right now, I'm not telling you to do that, am I? So common sense is take and use your money where it makes sense and apply it accordingly. And there's other sources. In fact, here's another one most people might have if you're lucky. If you do, you're lucky. If you have a distressed food store where they get trucks, where the truck is abandoned or a truck is in a wreck, the food stock on board can't be sold. Usually it has to be sold as surplus. And it's written off through insurance. Well, there's stores, there's one up towards Saginaw like this, where everything is pennies. Problem is for when you drive up there, I mean if you did, I'd have to fill the truck up because I want to make it worthwhile. But it is worthwhile if it's in your backyard. $0.10 for a can of this or $0.10 for a pouch of whatever or a box of real rice arone, which is really the prices they were charging, is worthwhile. So if you've got something like that in your backyard, take advantage of it. But again, those zip cans, by the nature of what they have to do, the way that they're bonded, they're only going to be good for about, I would say, 1 third the lifespan of the other cans. If not shorter, depending on your environment, how wet things are. Because oxidation, as we said, tries to take everything back to the soil. Those seal systems aren't that good. So we need to prioritize. Now, I'm not talking about the side-kin like the meat cans like the corn beef. We're not talking about that. We're talking about these top-top zip-top cans topside. Those are prioritized for first use in your long-term food cycle when the time comes. I heard a voice I think, caller who do we have? Just in case. I won't leave anybody out. Okay, very good. Now... It is 517, it is Thursday, and we're going to do a, I'm going to do a shift here real quick because I want to get this a couple times into the program here and the next hour. We're going to do both the Axion red, blue, green rifle sights. They're going to be a $25 donation. You can get as many as you want now, but you have to do it now only in that I can't guarantee however many we're going to get in the long run. So I want to compress this. Our priority, if you had a choice and you need the Axion and you want to save the rifle sight, but you also want a monocular, but the monocular, you know, you have to buy one less of the rifle sights, there are more of the monoculars available than there are of the rifle sights. I would prioritize buying the rifle sights now. And then if you have to save up a few pennies to go after the monocular if you want to experiment with it. That should be secondary for the moment. Now it doesn't mean that you can get both, get both. Whatever combination you feel you want to do here. I just want to explain that in advance because every time we get these, it's almost a one-time deal. And I know the background on why we're able to get these right now, and it's very rare to see a follow-up on these. Very, very, very rare. So I'm going to do this, and we're going to try to grab every last one that's left on the shelf. I want our people to have them is what it comes down to and these are the axion red blue green or the 3d PX model I believe DP XD MP actors The combination letters varies depending upon on minor variances right in some cases I'm I Didn't rattle it off on you know memory block here for a reason. I know it's not it's the 3d SMP, I think. And again, I'll correct myself later. However, it is a very simple unit. It has three different shades with regard to each color, as far as intensity. And there are ones after another after another and also it's a dial-up. You go from the red to the blue to the green. When you go to the red, you have red base and then you have one, two. Then when you go to third, click. that's going into the blue. When you do that, you have one, two more, and then you're into the green, and then one, two, so you have three variations in intensity with each color. Otherwise, there's power switch, there is adjustment for, again, obviously point of impact with the dot, and these are fully adjustable. The units themselves, they do have cover caps for front and back, which is great. So they're simple and they're well thought out and again it's kids keep it simple stupid make it work fast. That's the bottom line. For those of you who have got them, if you like them then we do have some more because if you want to put them on other rifles they're great on .22s. They're great on again ARs if that's what your niche is with regard to the Red Dot systems. Other people prefer other types of short optics or middle optics. But in this case, these are a decent little unit. That's the only reason I couldn't even offer them. First, I had to look at them. And even when I went to look at the test model, remember last time, a big chunk of the inventory was eaten up almost immediately. So this time around, we're going to work fast on this. If you're going to do it, you can go to liberty at provide.net. You can send me an email, let me know how many you're actually ordering. If you can do that, that would help me just as a sidebar. You don't have to because I do get the notification when you go to www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. That's www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. That's www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. When you get there, go to the donate key and there is, when you go to the donate key, there is a notation section. If we're going to mail these to you, I need a mailing address. And obviously, the plan is, you're going to send us a donation, we're going to send you a gift for donating and say thank you. That's what we're doing here. So, again, a $25 donation and we'll shoot it out in the mail as quickly as we possibly can. I don't want them hanging around. I don't want them all piled up in one place. And it's like a lot of other things. Remember, the situation is unique by the day and we're better off making sure it's in the hands of the people who would need it if they have to use it. That's the attitude on that. So, again, Axion, red, blue, green. It's a rifle sight. It can be used. Again, I haven't had feedback on the shotgun, but it's supposed to be able to handle that kind of recoil. And with an auto shotgun especially, you've got a longer stroke with regard to the energy applied and it passes through the scope system in this case. So there again, feedback on that one. But for the ARs, for the Mini-14, even some people are putting these on carbines. I've already seen that. Kind of looks weird only because for me the carbine with iron sights is normal and the optics are cool That's what you can if you want you if you're putting them on your gun thumbs up. Congratulations Whatever it is. You're putting them on it's your choice and you guys who worked out your system So again, that is the axion red blue green rifle site $25 donation go to www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com and If you want to put a notation in there also, red, blue, green, red, blue, green, red, blue, green, can't make any mistake that way. Red, blue, green, red, blue, green, red, blue, green, and then make sure your address is in there. That way I'll know beyond the shadow of a doubt what it is you want. Now, if you're going to do the monocular, everything is exactly the same, and it's going to be a $25 donation also. And by the way, that's probably the best price I think in the country, period. But for the axion mono, just put mono, easy to remember. Mono, mono. Oh my god, you kissed her and she's got mono too now. You know, mono. See, it's easy to remember that way. I remember that. Oh, the guy at school, one of the guys at school had mono. Anyway, mono. And I'll know that that particular element is for the monocular. Now if you're going to do monoculars and red, blue, green, I guess I could ask you to do two separate, but I think if you're actually using the notations right, you can list the number of, would you want one, two, or three of the red, blue, greens, or do you want one, two, or three of the monoculars? So this is to help support the network. It was a really good return and result. Everybody's happy all the way around. That's why I like to do this so that everybody is satisfied. It's the old story, good trade. And we'll do our part, get everything moving as quick as we can as it is. We've got inventory that's already available, so I'm going to be popping them out as soon as we get them in. And in addition to that, remember you can get multiples right now. The rifle sight should be the priority if you have limited in funds, but you wanted the rifle sight for more than one gun. I would prioritize that for your first purchases. And if you have to wait a little bit, it is more likely that we will have a quantity of the monoculars available over the rifle sites. The rifle sites are a much lower number, and I don't see them lasting very long. So we're going to do this as quick as we can. And you guys, that's how you guys make the decision. You know, where to go, which way to go. If you're going, nah, I don't want the rifle sight, but I want the monocular, I understand. Okay, so just work it out. Remember, red, blue, green, how many of those do you want? And mono, how many of those do you want? We can't get that confused that way. If I said, well, it's an axion. Now, if you do that, then you can put axion and then we can have confusion. So let's just go red, blue, green for the rifle sight. And mono for the optic for the monocular. There we go. Anyway, we're almost to the bottom. And I'll tell you what, Edward, if you could, bottom of the hour music break. A little long, but if we could, Curse My Name. Okay, Blind Guardian, Curse My Name. Now, if we can, what I'd like to see, like to hear, is the Blind Guardian slash Curse My Name cover piece that was done, my god, I forgive me, the red-headed lady. She'll show up in the picture. She does a really good version. Both are excellent. The original is obviously the master. But whichever one pops up first, Ed, if you could, let's do that as a bottom of the hour music break. Guys, we're going after the bad guys. They're coming after us. We aren't picking our houses up and putting bad heads on them. They're coming to us. And so we are going to protect our home, our family, our country, our future. He tells us that we've got to wage war effectively. So your job is to make sure that you do it and do it right. When the time comes and you win, there are no apologies to anyone. That's that craft that we've been living through here where you need to apologize for adjusting and you need to apologize. You don't want you can take that stuff with us. You're our sideways. In fact, I'm going to take an eight foot, eight foot two by four and do that to you first. Eight feet wide and only about four inches. And I'm going to get it up there for you. Oh, you thought I was going to do the narrow side. Ah, no, no, no, no, no. In fact, it'll probably pop out one way or the other. So again, for everybody, it is Thursday. And that is if you go to libertytreatradio.foremc.com, you go to the Donate Keys, and then you can follow through from there. Another thing. I haven't had a chance to be, we weren't able to hook up to the videos with regard to Washington DC, forgive me, or talk to our friend who sent them, I appreciate you guys with referencing. It's not a surprise and in light of what we're seeing, remember we had plenty of tells and detailed information that told us what was going to happen before 9-11. The powers that be have screwed up the entire system intentionally, not accidentally, it's part of a little big plan. The big plan, of course, means that you get the short stick, you get the bleed, you're the ones who starve if they have their way and if you're caught flat-footed. And you're the ones who are going to be, well, in the crosshairs with indiscriminate random violence by the police state, the UN, and whatever. One of the things that's going to happen here is if they're vacating the capital, one of the other things they have to tie in is UN cooperation. So that is why they're doing the anti-patriot thing heavy right now. This is the same garbage they did with Carter. It's the same garbage we saw with Bush. and with Clinton, and it's now being kicked in high gear, you know, just like it was before, only farther on, you know, up the scale in terms of where they are with their accomplishments and why it is we have to stop them. And there's no compromise, and there's no negotiation, and there's no discussion on this. But everybody needs to be squared away accordingly. So let's get our eyes dot and our T's crossed. Again, I can't emphasize enough right now. Keep your fuel tank topped off. Fuel cans loaded, you've already got additional burden there because they've jacked the price. That's not an accident. That's part of the whole game. They can't do the cards. Flip the card all at once because you're all armed with the teeth. Any time before they've done a money collapse, they do a gun grab. Any time in recent times or when the communists show their colors, which is really what happened with America, the communists, FDR, the communists, made his move with the quote-unquote banking crisis and his little Jewish mafia buddies, the banksters, all perpetrated an attack against you, the American people, to turn you into bonds. Well, it worked to a degree and then it didn't because they realized they only got so many people to go along with the scam and a lot of other people were so pissed they were ready to shoot their ass. If you think about it, the scammers at the CDC, you know, the liars, excrement and filth. Acknowledge that well only there's seven out of ten people haven't gotten the murder death kill shot Well my my point on that one again is as I've told you many times who did get that? Well mostly people who are we in the enemy's camp or not really a spine. You know don't really have a spine to begin with So guess what they're not really people that would be of concern or interest to us would they I mean under the fact that they're in the enemy camp But what's fascinating is in reality what they're whining about is that the murder death kill shot is only hit their people a Very very small percentage of people that are of interest to us have taken the murder death kill shot seven out of ten have not Well, why haven't they because they're the thinking Americans? And that means majority. In other words, we have the majority. I've told you before, we've got enough to kill their ass, but you've got to get your act together and make sure you focus on it so that the majority kills their ass when the time comes. No hesitation, no wait, no think twice about it. And that's where we are right now with this situation. They've got to try and create an incident. Then they go after the guns. And of course they make travel illegal. They're going to do a bunch of other garbage simultaneously. The same old new old order crap all over again. And then of course then they can get you to a war. And while they got everybody's butt dragged overseas, then they clearify the country the rest of the way, pet it out the rest of the way. All the rest of the things you saw and flipped the card and go back into shadow with in the last two years, they will pull out, well, three years now. They will pull out in spades while you're busy dying overseas for a bunch of kiddo queers who hate you, who flat out hate you, told you they hate you. They want to burn your country. They want to kill all white people. They want to kill black people too. They actually want to kill everybody. But, you know, they figure the white people are in the way. So guess what? We are. You're right. We are. Oh, we are in the way. And we're not only going to be in the way, I'm going to hunt your stinking ass down and I'll find every last one of you on the other side. And that better be the attitude of everybody out there listening right now. Anyway, I don't know if Ed caught it. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't, but if we could, Blind Guardian Curse My Name. If we could pull that up, that would be the bottom of the hour music block. Again, Blind Guardian, curse my name. If you get the Red-Headed Ladies version, that'd be great. Forgive me, I can't rattle her name off right away and I should, but it's been a little while since I pulled the video up. And that, of course, is Blind Guardian. Yes, they are a metal band. But you know what? These metal bands are all made up of people who are phenomenal artists. And if they actually want to apply themselves, as they do with much of the stuff these guys play, It is amazing. In fact, Blind Guardian is multilingual. Blind Guardian, most of their songs are actually played in Portuguese, Spanish, German, I mean played by the musicians. English, Russian, I don't know if they've done Chinese. It's kind of funny to do like what is basically a medieval piece with Chinese. That would be kind of weird, wouldn't it? We've had a cool everybody tried to respond speaking Klingon No, it sounds more like a drawer full of silverware being dropped on the kitchen floor after they were turned upside down Anyway So, let's see. Again, we have the bottom of the hour music break. Well, we'll see what happens. Again, Blind Guardian, Curse, My Name. Anyway, do we have any callers? So before we get farther, any questions? I don't want to leave anybody out because I've been doing that enough. And again, if you'd like to call in, or if you'd like to, if you do have any questions, go ahead and jump in right now. Star six to unmute. There we go. Yep star six to unmute if you're listening by amia There we go call or jump in there. Hey, it's stars it I want to issue a correction on the copper penny issue that was mentioned by the caller the other day the Excuse me the year that they switched over from copper to zinc was 1982 and it was about halfway through the year so technically some 82 pennies are copper, but the only way you can do it is by minute scale grain scale type of thing really not worth the aggravation So, 81 and you're welcome. You know something, hold on, before we part of this, something that you just brought up that we need to remember. Guys, the government isn't perfect and the Treasury is no different and so this is something you do need to watch for. If you were to find a copper 84 or 85 penny, you've probably got something worth a lot of money. In fact, always pay attention. You know, you do this, I know you guys, I mean myself, even with pennies, you immediately can tell the difference in weight. But, you know, obviously you drop it, makes noise, you can tell real quick. If you run into a coin that you question, and it's a newer coin, and it doesn't have that copper wash look to it, and in fact has actually weathered, you know, it doesn't make any difference if it would be weathered a little bit. In other words, in use. If it were actually copper, it would probably be highly collectible. Now people sometimes go, well how could that happen? Well remember that they do either blank up slugs or they do existing expansion rounds. There's a couple different ways you can do coins and they have the ability to change out the machine as needed to do what's necessary if you've ever seen the penny machines and the coin machines and how they work. The coin production machines. If there was a bag of something or a pallet of something you found in the back corner, They wouldn't stop and hesitate. They would just throw it in the mix and it would go, kachinka, jigga, jigga, jigga, jigga, faster than I can say the kachinka. And it would just be out there. So we've never mentioned that. But a copper penny newer than the cutoff date would be worth a small fortune, kind of like a double strike coin. And that's something to think about. So thank you for bringing that up there, because that is a money maker. That would pay for a few AR-15s. Your penny would pay for probably more than a few ARFs. I went through college. I paid for my college. That would pay for a rack of ARF 15s, Mark. Yeah. You get a rack of 20 out of that easily at ammo. And magazines. And I'll throw it at the net. There you go. But the thing is that I paid for my college through cash. I worked my ass off. And of course, that scholarship. But I saved those, saving that back. I saved that back and used what I collected. I took a percentage of the pennies I collected from decades earlier. I just took them out of their little, actually, here's where I stored my coins. I took a layer of tissue paper, a little piece of tissue paper, and then I laid the pennies down. I didn't stack them in rolls. But as soon as they filled up the bottom of these old first yogurt cups when they first came out with yogurt, these are the original earliest yogurt cups that were plastic. Wash them out because they're free. And then I took the tissue and I laid the coin and when I bedded them, I put another layer and then bedded them again and put another layer. So these things were pillowed and many of them were like new and it were excellent, very good to, you know, very good, excellent, not an issue. And I turned around and marketed a bunch of those and got really nice cash for my pennies. Well, not all of them, but a lot of them. And in fact, a couple of yogurt, let's put it this way, a couple of yogurt cups paid for tuition, just to give you an idea. Now you figure out how to, and yogurt, Dan and Cy's yogurt cups, but it wasn't Dan and these was a no name brand from Myers. So anyway, don't tell me it can't be done, but in this case, that's a good point. And again, because copper is a useful tool in many ways. That's why copper is valuable and medicinal. My argument is if you look at the three metals that make up currency, understand that if you're a homeopath especially, you know the value of gold, you know the value of silver, and everybody knows more about copper now, don't they? Right? Now think about it. And nothing about currency, it's self-sterilizing. Currency, as in gold, silver, and copper, they're self-sterilizing. Go ahead, jump in there, caller. What do we have? Yeah, that's my... I just want to have my notice. I don't know if it's anything, but when you find the pre-82 or 82 pennies, the real copper ones, you know, they don't tarnish and go and get, you know, as like the new ones, the zinc ones. I mean, it... They explode, the new ones, yeah. Yeah, the new ones, they turn black and corrode. I mean, they turn... they really corrode really quick. Now here's what sounds weird, but what's going to happen on that, and this is another weird thing about currency. Because of that and because of the lack of durability and circulation, some of those pennies will actually be worth as much as the others as collector's items, provided they're preserved. Problem is this. It takes more to preserve them. Because you have to absolutely keep them in a dry condition, you have to keep them isolated. And for that reason, all the rest, as you've said, I just picked up a penny here the other day, I just noticed a round coin. Well, it looks like it might be a nickel first. And then you get closer, obviously, to see their penny or dime. Well, it was a zinc penny. Like you said, it's oxidized, you know, had part of its compromise. And it's black. And the copper is not even like greenish at all. It's turned black because of the cross-contamination of what little copper there is there and the zinc and how the zinc oxide works. Yeah, and again, go ahead. And another thing I've noticed is that all of the earlier, after 82 pennies, They seem to stay, you know, this comes down to, like you always say, the penny pinchers, you know, they're always cutting somewhere. But the earlier pennies, when the Zinc pennies don't tarnish as near as fast as like the ones they're like just a few years old. So they must have did better preserving or something. You know, one that's fascinating, I know this is weird, guys, but you know, I was thinking about this today, rhodium. is one of those metals that's going to disappear and it's interesting because what you do is rhodium. Well rhodium is actually quite durable but rhodium is actually used to polish gold. That sounds weird but it's actually used in a filament material that they make. Rhodium is used to that but rhodium by itself has a gold appearance. And what's interesting, well of course it's really not any cheaper, it's about the same, everybody goes, well it's not cold, it's rhodium. Have you priced what an ounce of rhodium is? What it costs? It's rather fascinating because we don't consider it as critical a metal, but to be quite honest, you could have made rhodium coins and maintained both the intrinsic value and they would have been very, very, very durable. In fact, they'd be less likely to be retired than the silver coins. as far as getting down to the point where they'd be considered junk silver or junk, you know, rhodium or junk copper. Because at a certain point they fall from a numismatic table because the fascia is worn off, the date is hard to read if it's legible at all, because a lot of coins stay in circulation or traditionally used to because, guys, a nickel is a nickel. A nickel wasn't something, oh, I don't care about that. Back in the day, you could eat with a couple of nickels. And because of that, that's why you see a lot of this older silver that's called junk silver, where it's been in circulation because it was used. That's how a coin should die. A coin should die looking like the ones we see in the quote unquote junk silver category. Go ahead, color, jump in there. Rhodium closed at $19,300 an ounce today. See what I mean? Yeah. So it's also gone up, okay, but there should be a grass there. So check that out. And here again, rhodium, it's one of those, it's like, well, everybody snubs rhodium. Well, how much was that announced again? Think about that. This is where I always wonder, when you talk about propaganda, okay, and or disinformation, Consider how many other metals are on the periodic chart and what their value is and what's fascinating is that they're actually quite accessible. Okay, just something to think about. In gold and butt, but I will go back to what I said from the very beginning on this. Why is gold, silver, and copper into the depths of time, why did it have greater value than these other metals which were already known? And this comes back to medicinal and needless to say, microbial safe when it came to, okay, if you got to handle wells and you have to have something durable, you need a material that is going to not transfer. You know, it's killed, you know, germs, bacteria, bugs, because, oh, it's a horrible world out there. We got the black plague and way before the black plague, which by the way is a spring chicken, by comparison, there were other diseases like that back in the day, guys. And Mark Gold, Rhodium Silver, and copper relate to it. Five years ago, Rhodium was at $575. Which means also, and it's presently at what spot? Ask is $19.3, or buy is $19.3, sell is $21 something. So you're telling me my jar full of little rhodium nuggets that I got from work from machines? I'm gonna tell you, I did this. I actually have a quarter, I got a mason jar of rhodium slugs. You're a wealthy man. And so we went from, oh god, that's pounds. I have pounds, I don't have ounces. You're a wealthy man. Well that means, awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww It almost beats looking at 1980s through the copper penny. I still be looking for that, but you know. I remember back in the day when I used to do the auctions, they'd have rhodium jewelry come through. Right, all the time. I would bid on the silver, but I wouldn't bid on the rhodium because I thought it was junk metal. Now I'm learning you went different directions. Well, it was comparable at that time to the, like I said, comparable to gold, a little less. And typically, again, like I said, rhodium in the past, there was a complaint about it because you see, well, although again, it's a very stable metal. Guys, if you ever had anything that's rhodium, it doesn't break down. Rhodium is a very durable metal. In fact, here's the thing. It's durable and harder in the hardness scale. It is a much more rigid metal or tensile metal for a lot of other work, like for a watch. You know, everybody, I want a gold watch. Well, actually, the rhodium watch is going to be around a lot longer. If you had a rhodium hull with gold embossing, and then your internal workings, whatever would be best choice in this day and age, needless to say, stainless would be a good choice because stainless has been perfected, then you'd have a hell of a piece of machinery there. And again, most important is the hull couldn't distort. The hull would take more impact, more damage. So that's just something to think about there. And so here's another interesting thing. If the price scale has shifted that much on it, there's two things to consider. Number one, who's controlling it? Let me tell you who probably is controlling rhodium right now, the Chinese. Remember that discussion about all of those semi-precious metals? that the Chinese were piling up in big hoarding, they were grabbing everything, everybody was stupid enough to let go. It's true of scrap the same way with metals, all metals, not just, I mean we're talking base metals. But I would be willing to bet that either the Russians or the Chinese have the dominant market on that. Now the Russians may have it because like titanium, Russia has 80% of the world's titanium reserves. So it might be Russia that has 80% of the rhodium reserves. And again, that would make sense because of where that metal ends up on the periodic table laying next to, say, titanium. Because remember, when you're looking at this geologically, it's like Michigan, like I told you. Guys, a certain band of metals Although again, I know you do get rhodium from the Upper Peninsula too in whatever quantities. Whenever you're doing high metals, remember you do get different veins or it's usually overlaying straight of different materials. And they consider many of those non-viable because of the ore quality. In other places like in Russia, if they have 80% of what is the accessible and easily identifiable titanium, it's probably true that in the same range of metals in terms of where they stand in hardness, etc., would probably peak with the others. So just something to think about. I'd be curious now you got my curiosity. Now I got a project tonight. You gave me homework. I want to find out because rhodium is one of those things that is still out there and about and most people would not probably realize it ergo at a lot of yard sales. Guys, if rhodium has gone to that level, then it exceeds the value of gold, right? What's the spot for gold right now? And at one point, gold is down around 1775 today. But last week gold was 1900 today. I think it closed at 1775 there about you're talking about eight times the value It's eight times the value of gold at least Basically, I don't see a little more than that. Yeah, we you're a little more than that, but we'll say eight headed towards not 11 times Yeah, well 19. Okay, forgive me. Yeah 9. Yeah would actually be nine times and again, that's the thing about a memory is the is the ask price the sell price is like 2000 there's probably more. Right now so at this point if you have a rhodium necklace that weighs half an ounce you got a $10,000 necklace pick that up in a yard sale for a dollar and a half. Well no where till the next party and everybody goes what is that oh it's a rhodium it's about less about $10,000 there was a gunshot somebody grabbed her neck next thing we knew the necklace was gone. Yeah, convert that something done into food and ammo and weapons and motor supplies and everything else we need. Think about it. And again, guys, this is why, and seriously, the estate sales, not everything is up to, you know, not everybody's up to track on this. And it is very likely you are going to find with the age, the average age of the people that are out there, you're going to find exactly what Daria just mentioned, rhodium, jewelry, a wristwatch, a 70s 80s wristwatch. Yeah, that was like a 70s 80s thing, I think. I think that was a 70s 80s timeframe when they did most of that. And the people, and think about that, that's how many years ago. And think about the age of the people who either are passing away, Or, most of them are running into you right now, the estate sales are not dead, they're going to assisted living or they're going to cash in on all the things they collected and they're moving to another location and find a nice house in the middle of BFE and that's where they want to be. And of course, usually next to family because that's necessary. So the advantage here is that you can run into some pretty decent, in fact, even a resale stores right now. I do own a vet. I can think of two right now that I'm going to have to peruse where I'll probably run into a lot more than, well, amazingly, I know it's there. I just cleared out one of the, well not just now, I just cleared a bunch of the optics from one of the companies here, one of the retail stores here a little bit ago. They just, nobody was interested in the binoculars and the monoculars and I've got a whole pile of Zeiss and also upper-end American made binoculars for five and ten dollars a piece. Guys, optics. and priceless. And when you're talking pennies, this is stuff that down the road you simply will not be made unless we make it. Unless we do, and here's another thing, remember in the past, guys you didn't buy binoculars. It used to be as part of your, Americans were more math oriented and more mechanically oriented. You used to make your rifle sights. You used to make your scopes at home. Scopes, there weren't any scope companies out there in force. But Americans had enough wherewithal to produce brass or bronze-tubed, micro-adjustable, varying magnification, rifle scopes. In fact, I have the prints for several of them. So they were lesser scopes. They're not as sophisticated as stuff you're seeing right now. But with what we know how to do now, you would apply it if you were building your own in this day. Well, binoculars used to be built at home the same way. In fact, one of the companies I'm dealing with has a phenomenal collection of World War II brand new in the box binocular components for two or three of the standard naval and Army Air Corps binoculars. And that's half the battle is the critical parts. All of the lenses. We used to build lenses at home. My oldest brother ground lenses as part of his high school science class. That was one of the things they did. They ground the lenses themselves. They were taught how to do it. And then they made their own telescopes or monoculars or in some cases binoculars. Because I grew up with that. I mean, seeing it, in fact, everybody was like, wow, that's really cool. And the idea is that it purely matters how sophisticated or how cool you want to make them, it was a matter of what kind of money you had to spend on the finish. But PRAST looks pretty cool, as it is. I don't see as much of that as I used to, as far as finding it in sales and such. And everybody's scarfing you up, because if it's pre-1920 or whatever, it looks like it, it's going for a higher price now. But remember, if you do run into those, they're glass optics. Those are not polymer. And when you look through them, you're going to wonder, why is this so clear? Because they're glass. That's why. And if they were taken care of, and most people, back when optics were a lot thinner, there were fewer of them, people took care of what they had. I'm going to go buy another one. You know, how much that one cost? I was lucky to get that one. Or, well, I got out of the Navy and we figured since they were going to decommission the ship, we might as well just take everything that wasn't nailed down. And we did. That's why you run into these naval pedestal binoculars out in the middle of nowhere, especially in the Great Lake area here. Because guys came back from service World War I. They brought back, like I've told you, if it wasn't nailed down, I deserve it because, hey, you tried to kill me. And so every, you know, I was at war for, you know, in the trenches. So a lot of the optics that came back were just like nothing anybody's seen. German trench periscopes, fully adjustable binocular type, range finders, anything and everything you can think of. All of that is viable today. There's nothing that's outdated in the optics. Nothing. It's just a matter of quality. It's like I said, I appreciate these monoculars and I know what the limits of them are but and what it is, but it is worthwhile. It's useful. I got a chance to experiment with it and it's one of those tools you keep right there at Army Reach or like near the kitchen sink or maybe by the back door. So if you got to go back outside because the dogs are woof woof woofing or you hear the woof woof woof. probably is a little too close. Well, you want to spot them, see if you can figure out where they are. You have one person that monocular, they confirm the target area. You've got the rifle, the rifle finishes the job. In fact, you use the monocular with that sunspot, so it distracts the critters in one direction while the rifle crack comes from another. That's the one thing I do like about use. Go ahead, caller, jump in there. Yeah, I just, real quick, If you go to the library in the bolt rifle file, there is a how to build a tube scope in that file. Yes. That was extremely common place back in the 50s. They take simple objects, even old eyeglasses. Oh, no glass? No, because that was precision glass. That did not go to waste. You're absolutely right there. Yes, go ahead. Yeah, it was a simple tube and a simple thing and actually a fairly simple little lathe that if you wanted to get that fancy is what they used for that. Yeah, that was actually a commonist snot back then where people just built their own scopes. Now, I don't know about... Hello? Go ahead. Yeah, no you're good. Go ahead. Yeah, I don't know how they used as far as the mounting and stuff goes as I haven't actually seen the file for a while, but I just went to the to the index and then the bolt rifle file there's actually a set of plans for a Making your own tube scope, and I just wanted to bring that quick to your attention Excellent. And again, we've been recopying that. In fact, it's being donated. It's being borrowed for the moment so they can make another hundred copies. Okay, now are they making copies of everything that's in the library? Yes, they are. Yes, they are. Okay, okay, okay. I was just curious. Oh, no, none of that's going to waste. Some people are being a little selected because there are certain things they want, but like I told them, you have at your fingertips everything you need to deal with what you might discover down the road. I'd take it all if I were you. So that's why I got everybody motivated because we need that library in a million places, not a thousand places. We are at the top guys. And for everybody out there, God bless our republics. Except for the new world order. We shout for their ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. And we are on the March of both day and night. And if you find that 1986 copper penny, run to the numismatic purchase agent near issue and see what he'll offer. Oh, and you can really look it up. If you're sure it's copper, you can put it like copper, it looks like copper, then hang on to it and you will talk. Keep it sitting in your hand. But you want to get a little bit of a pricing evaluation there and then you can smile. So, if you want a break, we're going to take you grab a cup of coffee or go use the bathroom or grab some water, whatever you're going to do. And we'll be back right here with a second hour of the Intel report. It is Thursday on Liberty Street Radio. Constitution, you know the right to bear arms is because that's the last form of defense against tyranny Not to hunt to protect yourself from the police anybody that wants to disarm me can drop dead Anybody that wants to make me unarmed and helpless people that want to literally create the proven Places where more innocents are killed called gun-free zones. We're gonna beat you We're gonna vote you out of office or suck on my machine. Yeah, why all the dishes? No, okay, just get any blunt objects together, alright? If you get corners, bash them in the head, that seems to work out. Kick together, stay sharp and follow me. I had a dream the other night that, well, I didn't understand. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But 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 state. You read about the current news in a regulated press. and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. This number you traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm. and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children 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 will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and eat God-given right, and pray to God, keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as fire and trample each God-given right, we only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, dill the land of the free? from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make them all yourself. Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen this is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report time our quirky one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines and occupied territories southwest north Northeast and South. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, Liberty Tree Radio on satellite, good afternoon, evening, or morning to all of our friends across the Pacific. And we are on AFN microstations, CB Bay stations, and UltraNet Hallmark and Golden Spike technologies, east and west of the Mississippi. along with Alaska. It is Thursday. It is the 17th of June. It is 607 PM Eastern Standard Time, 13th year of open, obvious, and in your face Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with the K. 2021, Battle for the Republic, 2021. Guess what? In your face, we're probably going to war. And again, it's not an if it's just one. You can see the fumble screen going on with the Idiot Stick, Pedo, Sniffer, Meat Puppet, and of course the Back Alley Bar Hore with the Scuff Knee Pads. Being run by Obama, by the way. When you're watching this, remember, Obama is the next tier. And then there are the characters with their tentacles up his arse and running that creature. They're all from the same pitiful, sad, experiment pile. Yes, the dung heap. And they operate the District 2 criminals. What a surprise. So it's Thursday. And before we go any farther, I'm going to do this now because I want to do this bottom of the hour break last hour. But Ed, if you could, blind guardian and curse my name. And if you can, if you can. If we can find the red-headed woman, forgive me, I didn't have time in the middle between the break here, there's a cover piece done by another group, medieval looking in terms of the video, which is cool because it is appropriate. But if we could, Blind Guardian, curse my name, whichever one pops up first, and FSC acoustic, that's fantastic. Blind Guardian does just fantastic work anyway. I can sit back and listen to a lot of their music for a very, very long time and in repetition. So if you haven't checked them out, Curse My Name is One, Harvest of Sorrow is another really great piece, Harvest of Sorrow by Blind Guardian. Take the time, check that out. Also, as was pointed out by Tom yesterday, amoman.com. They do have a few things in inventory. A couple things that yesterday were parallel there were eaten up pretty quick last night. They're gone. But don't worry, there's other stuff. Apparently there's still stuff on the horizon by company names you've never heard of and I don't know where the hell they came from because I've never seen them. But again, so is the case with others who have been shooting for a long time. It's okay. Does it have a primer? Yes. Does it have powder? Yes. Does it have shell or I should say a body? Sure, because it's obviously got in the box. Well, then the bullet there or the pellets probably will do their job. So... If it's a good price, take advantage of it. If it's questionable, but it's what you've got to do to get a few boxes on the shelf, then you have to make a choice there. Amomand.com, not the only place, but with Amoman, if you're going to do any quantity, if you do $100, in other words, if it's any kind of case slot, it's free shipping. So what you see price-wise is it. And that's something to think about when you look at the case slots. when you balance out against other companies where you have to go to the end of the checkout to find out what your shipping is. And it's already there. It's already mapped out. So if the other place is maybe a hair cheaper or the same price, remember that if it doesn't say free shipping in those other sites, then you still got that tacked on, which is going to be $15, $20, $30, $40 more. Because the case is pretty heavy. It's a lot of lead and brass and primers and powder. and cardboard boxes that they're in. Okay, it all adds up. So anyway, as it stands, if you get a chance, take the time to go over to not just Amelman.com but AIMS Surplus, they did get a little more preview partisan in. They're good for preview. And that's, you know, the preview partisan boxer prime non-corrosive heat annealed. So if it's something that's useful to you, I think the carbine is gone, but if they, it looks like they might have gotten some, instead of ball, the head ball, it might have some soft point. I'm not excited as much about that. I prefer ball and a carbine, but you know, you take what you got and run with it. The way I used to do with the soft point is usually lead off with one round on the top and everything else ball. Why? Well, if you're shooting at somebody after that first one or two rounds, they're taking cover probably, and you want to start chewing through things, and the carbine is a light round, so you want to have more thud, thud, thud that's going to start eating through objects to get things. But the first round, hey, if you were doing your job, that first round is probably going to hit something soft and chewy. And you're happy. That's good. But it's just a personal combination. The things you can do are things you think out over a period of time because, well, what you see. Now formulas. Anyway, other things going on right now. Washington, DC, again, there's some really cool videos out there showing the government buildings that are offline right now. Now, one of the things I have not had a chance to do, and I would emphasize doing this, is look to see if there is any, if they have any web pages that have scrolls, and go back through and see if there was some form of confirmation for building change-out, just to see if they have an excuse posted, and it will be backlogged. Now, that could be an altered database, but... It's good to look there because it might lead to where did they move to. Yes, they're out of that building. It's a big building. It's a big government building. But they've been told to go somewhere else. Well, it'd be nice to see if they made an announcement and told everybody where they went. If they completely left Washington, DC, and there's halfway across the country, maybe even a footnote there where they think nobody's looking, it'd be a good idea to find that out. Because I just will tell you where to look to see where they've piled everything up. Just a heads up on that one. And again, each one of these departments, HUD, OSHA, Take Your Pick, EPA, I mentioned them yesterday, all of these have their own places, have their own little boxes, their own empires, and they like to sometimes brag about what their empires do. So most people actually always do. Usually it's a lie, but they do brag up. Sometimes you can find a kernel of useful truth in there amongst all the BS and political correctness that they're spewing out. And so that definitely is worthwhile. I mean, worth the attempt. I guarantee you're going to result. We can try. In addition to that, real quick here, as I mentioned, with all the other stuff that is going on like that that is now presently now a heads up, Make sure that you again keep your fuel tanks topped off, check your oil on your vehicles. If you haven't changed out the oil, you know, you're close to, that'll be a good time to do your oil change. Everything, have it up to peak and ready for either evacuation mode or for fighting and for again, security use when the time comes. The other thing here real quick, if you're with one of the MEC units, We are organizing another squadron here in Michigan with the Michigan militia at large and In addition to the second and third raider, we're probably going to end up with a the green horse slash the it's a light mech unit, but it'll be the green horse company and That is in motion right now, too So we've got some people are going to cap shoulders and kind of bring everybody into the fold The green horse unit will be light neck and is probably going to be the first to benefit from the ferret knockoffs that we're doing. So we're going to be organizing that and centering it around a fast attack in-house construction. And we're not probably going to be going outside to surplus circles for what it is that we're going to be using. It's kind of fun because the next thing somebody is proposing, they've been looking at some of the stuff that's being done out there as raw construction, we already have two of these that were homemade. They're actually a knockoff of the Hetzer. But instead of track, they went with six wheel suspension. And they really look very sci-fi. The Hetzer was a little bushwhacker tank based on the checked their Model 38 and widened the hole was wide. It's a really cool little vehicle. The armor is sloped all the way around. And it looks modern even today when you show somebody considering some of the other stuff that's out there. It still looks very modern and could be upgraded. But basically that silhouette but wider still, a little wider, and with a lot more defense potential internally, and a little better exit for all crewmen in terms of the basic design, allowing for evacuation of the vehicle, which really is kind of critical. It's the crew that's more important than anything else. The skilled labor, running the machine, you just got to make sure you make more machines. But you need to preserve the skilled labor. Let's get a heads up on that one. So some of the things that we're looked at with the original Hetzer have been designed into, the features that were needed are designed in. And it's a neat little design we might actually start producing more of. One of the things I've tried to explain to everybody when you're building armor or even fast attack vehicles is you create a variable geometry fixture for wherever you're going to apply weapon systems. Why? Well, because you can scavenge off other equipment laying around on the battlefield and improvise, adapt, and overcome with the flame wrench and a man with a wherewithal. Now, the one thing we have as a big advantage today is plasma cutters. And with plasma cutters going where they, or having gone where they are now, it can be an in-the-field modification to be able to take, say, a fixture on a vehicle and pull it like a tooth off of a wreck and sculpt everything accordingly so that it will drop right into the existing roof fixture space. You even scavenge part of the other vehicle's armor, depending upon the size of the turret. Now, understand something. Somebody asked me this the other day. Well, with turrets, there's a lot of BS going along with that. True, but it is kind of nice to have the ability to move or remove that gun 360 degrees and elevate up to 70 because all of the light armored vehicles we've been building, and one feature that we've changed is they all have air defense capability. They all have the ability to contribute to air defense potential. And that means elevation. So you've got to make accommodation inside. And you have to remember, you have to watch for obstructions. You have to remember that if you're going to move the gun 360 degrees, there can't be any sub obstructions down below inside the basket area or beyond the basket area because you've got feed mechanisms, all kinds of the fun stuff, most electronics, that have to be accommodated. Not much, but you have to make sure that you think ahead. Prior proper planning prevents fiscal performance. However, here's something to point out. If all else fails, you make it a Sturmgeschutz kind of gun. Better to be able to fire forward and have some variance with the gun manlet as opposed to maybe not having that superior or unique firepower you can gain from a wreck. So dropping it in and ignoring all the hydraulics, in fact, pairing all the hydraulics off, you don't cut them. Disconnect everything that's not relevant, throw that weight off, throw it in the spare parts bin, so to speak. And you take advantage of having a bigger, heavier gun that can be used in a very unique way. And the operator, just the gunner, has to coordinate with the driver to get the job done. But again, improvise, adapt, and overcome. That's something that everybody needs to have in the back of your head constantly. Actually, it needs to be the front of your head. Whatever weapon systems are out there, first rule. We scavenge the weapon systems, the optics, obviously the support feed mechanisms. If we can't do anything else, you strip as much as you can and that's what the, well, the flame wrench I mentioned, the plasma cutter, but more importantly is pneumatics and heavy wrench, you know, heavy socket sets in bulk because you're going to go through, but you're going to go through tools. This is why I'm talking about collecting everything you can in the way of tools because we're going to have, in fact, the most important aspect of the earliest phase of this battlefield situation is the recovery teams. recovery and reconstruction in the field slash builds in the field because as quickly as we can we have to turn around and press everything back into service. It has to be turned around as quickly as possible. If that means recovering a wreck or series of wrecks just like you talked about building one rifle from a couple of wrecks, then that's true. It can be done. Again, you already have to have the forward area recovery unit ID in place. It means that construction crews that are have, you know, guys who have construction companies, they have the pickers and everything else we would need to make a recovery combat forward area unit work. And that's one of the things that we've been coordinating for the longest time with these guys that actually, if you're, if a guy owns a construction company, that's combat engineers. So the first choice would be for you, if you're, if you're listening right now and you want to contribute to the Patriot effort, If you have a construction company, the best thing you can do is be ready to apply the machinery you have towards the combat engineer mission and orient your troops accordingly. Combat engineers are heavy infantry. They come with a lot of boom toys and a lot of other equipment that is very, very, very, very useful to stopping everybody else. So just a heads up there. My favorite is even when you have dump trucks, guys, if you're loading up a dump truck with sandbags, the engineers are taught what you do is you line the bed first, you lay the bed flat, use the box to throw everything, you throw the bags up inside, then you line the sides and you improve the armor. You've already got a dump truck box. It's not bulletproof, but between that and two or three or four layers of sandbags, if you're traveling, you don't have necessarily overhead cover, but you can even build that if you know what you're doing. And you're talking about going down the road and being able to move troops with something that offers pretty damn good protection. But here's what happens. You get to the other end, you back up to where you want that fortification, and you dump the sandbags and the equipment right there. Obviously, you let the troops get out. And everything they need has now been dropped into place. So if the other part of the engineering unit with backhoes, whatever, do a quick fix to get everything pretty well scraped and moved to a degree. Then the Armstrong crew, you know, the regular guys, infantry or the combat engineers, can finish up the difference. And by the time you're done, you can have a very, very well-fortified network in place in a very short period of time. But you have to think ahead. You're not just thinking at the end of your nose. Again, the bags are already fulfilled. You're going to use fill and material. You bring long, empty bags and all the other fun stuff. I shouldn't have to explain that. But the idea is that in instant fortification, understand when we talk about history, we talk about Bunker Hill, actually it was Breed's Hill, Bunker Hill and Breed's Hill, remember that what really unnerved the British is one day that little isthmus, that little peninsula was not occupied. And one morning, the next morning they wake up and it's a fortified position overlooking Boston Harbor and commanding the area. It forced the British to actually sortie out for the first time since. I mean, they had little probes and things like that, which you never see in movies. But they did probe and they also did a regular series of pressure contacts during the siege. But the reason that Bunker Hill, that's how you know it, Bunker Hill, took place is because everything had been pre-engineered. They went out and in the cover of darkness with everything blanketed and pillowed and covered with canvas, they rolled out and dug the positions, dropped everything that was prefabricated like that dump truck dumping all those sandbags, dumped everything into place and before the next dawn, a reinforced Patriot fighting position had been established with a reserved position beyond it farther inland. Now that forced the enemy to come out and because of it, remember Bunker Hill, yeah, they lost the first fort. They lost the first part of the fort, which by the way means technically the British occupied the fascia of the peninsula. But at what cost? It's like the British said afterwards, a few more victories like this and we'll lose the war. Because yes, they did move the patriots back from the position, not from the whole of the fortifications, just from the first one. Do the study on what happened. But because of it, how many British soldiers, how many regulars, frontline troops were lost in the cost? It would including officers that was the big hit because you know you're trying to find more officers to come you know by commissions and You know the order for them to you know have an interest you the survivability rating needs to be decent Well, it wasn't looking good in the colonies if you were going to show up as an infantry or cavalry officer Your survivability rating was looking pretty grim okay Not that it was great with the colonial with the forgive me the the Continental Wars But it was worse here, and they knew it So just a little heads up. Remember, the engineers are valuable, very, very valuable. Anyway, I don't know if we have Ed right there, but if we could, I'll try this again. We're almost to the bottom of the hour. Blind Guardian. Blind Guardian and Curse My Name. We could do that for the bottom of the hour break. Whatever it hits, I will shut up. But in the meantime, and I don't care which model, whatever hits the base first, I don't want a live version though. Although if it turns out to be one of the foreign language models by accident, I won't care because I've kind of mentioned, flying guardian is multilingual. Okay, so just a little heads up. Do we have a caller? Go ahead. Yeah, I've got a rhodium update. Did a little bit of research. Apparently rhodium is mostly used for plating jewelry. It's so brittle that they don't actually make jewelry out of it. So if you've got rhodium slugs, you've got the real beast. Then I've got the core stock. Well, what this was used for is some kind of offset in the older motors. There was a series of different pieces of material that are used in the older. They're actually like a connector for the different relays in Otis elevators. And here's what's cute is if they looked like they were silver, they were silver. If they looked like they were gold, they could be rhodium. But they were also gold and they weren't plated. But gold was cheaper back then. And when I say old, I mean, we've got a couple of it. Here we go. We're going to break. We're going to line the Guardian. The two, the cup, they played on every radio. 633 in the afternoon, headed towards the evening. We're in the between right now. Probably out there. If you're headed home, be careful. Pay attention. There are two groups out there the ones still wearing the face mask or forgive me now two face masks the body shield the body condom the face shield the body condom rubber gloves and they're holding the steering wheel like they're clutching to the last and vest the vestiges of life itself and they're traveling 40 miles an hour randomly depending upon what conversation they get into with themselves about the fear of the coronavirus while they're chewing on their toenails while one foot, the other foot's running the pedal. Yeah, maybe. On the other hand, they slow down, they speed up, they slow down, they speed up. Fear is in their heart. Traveling is a labor unto itself, but they should not attempt, but rather if I had my way And I would tell them they should hide under the bed and stay there until hell freezes over, but get away from us. The other half are the cell phone drivers, which show God. First we're at 55, 60 miles an hour, then we're at 40 miles an hour. Then we're at 55, 65, 70 miles. Oh, no, not quite 70. We'll never get to 70. And then back down to 3840, 38, oh, oh, oh, I'm driving, that's right. Oh, the cell phone is so much fun. It's so important until the semi rolls over them, okay? And that's not a good thing. You also stay away from the cell phone when leaving the bank. It's a fascinating car accident just around the corner from where I was sitting the other day. And the guy stepped down because he was probably busy doing too many things including the cell phone and he stomped down on what he thought was the brake and he aimed for the accelerator pedal. Oh, what a sleigh ride that was. Yeah, prior to rubber funding, just for the performance and pay attention. Do one thing, drive. Drivers, you have a skill, use it. Well, I hope you have the skill. Anyway. Otherwise, a couple things here I got to do at this hour. Guys, we have the Axion red, blue, green, rifle site, weapon site, again available. I want to try and do this as quickly as we can, if you didn't hear about this in the last hour. Again, the idea behind this is there are only a handful, a couple hundred of these things available, and that sounds big, but it's not with these things. Itís probably a return is what I believe what theyíre explaining so Iíll get more information when I talk to them here. Theyíre going to let me know what else might be available on the horizon in optics. But so far we do have the Axion-1-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-3-2-3-2-3 Red, blue, green, rifle slash weapon site available. It's a $25 donation. Remember, if you're going to write down a notation, we want you. We need this. I don't want to confuse you because I'm going to mention also the monoculars in a minute. The red, blue, green, I want you to put red, blue, green, and quantity, one, two, or three. How many do you want? Red, blue, green. In the notes, you're going to have to paypal through Liberty Tree radio through the donate key. Now, again, remember, we also need to make sure that in the notation you include a mailing address. I've sent emails out and I only got one response. The others apparently don't care or they donated the money for the sake of the network. I appreciate that. But a reminder, check your emails. If you were in the drawing the last time, and I have, again, we've got packages that are in motion. So there's a couple we had addresses for, and others declined the gifts. They just wanted to donate money to Liberty Tree Radio, and they ended up in the drawing. So that's OK. But if you are going to get these sites, I want to get them to you as quick as we can. I don't want to minimize the time on this. So again, go to libertytreeradio.4mg.com, go to Liberty Tree Radio, then go to the donate key. When you donate, it's $25 per unit and of course you can order multiples right now. I would recommend if you need multiples, don't order anything else other than the sites and get more sites if that's what you want because I don't know how long they're going to last. And they are a good little unit. If you like red dot systems, and these have the red, the blue, and the green option. And we talk about that after we're telling this whole thing. Remember that this is a nice little package. It's as simple as they could possibly be axion for their basic models, especially. Don't make anything confusing or complicated as far as I can see so far. And again, obviously, it's a Chinese, I assume, a Chinese-made part. Could be made Vietnam. You can go to your jet album or a Cambodia. But as it is, the units work well. Everybody's tried and has been satisfied with them. Even if you didn't get them from us, it may be yours. So in this case, we have an opportunity. It's a short window. I recommend we do this quick and as many as you can. And again, for quite some time, it'll probably be it. I don't know if it'll have more, if it'll be accessed more. I showed an interest and so I got the notification which is cool. I just happened to be shopping and perusing and, oh look at this. And we do have a number already in hand that we're going to shoot out right away. And again, you can do quantities, but it's $25 donation per unit. And we need you if you're going to do the red, blue, green rifle sight. In your notation, put red, blue, green, dash, and then the quantity you want, like one, two, three, four, whatever. And that's fine. The big thing is, the sooner we do it, the more we can get in our hands as opposed to them going to some vendor or something like that. OK? And that's, again, at www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. That's www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. Go to the donate key. When you do, remember, you obviously donate the amount. It's $25 per unit. Plute shipping. And we'll turn around and... However many you ask for, the big thing is that I need you in the Notations, in the Notation area to put red, blue, green, dash, and then the number you want. Now, needless to say, I've probably figured out if it says red, blue, green, and I see a dollar amount there, I'll know what it is, okay? But if you could, in the Notation, do that, and I need a mailing address. Make sure you have it complete. and confirm it. Place you want to go. It doesn't have to be where you are. It has to be where it can be picked up and you know you're going to get it. That's what we're more concerned with than anything. Okay. Next is we do have the monoculars and I've chosen to go with those as an option also. Some of you will want to do maybe one of each and if you do it's again for notation red, blue, green and the number for that and then put mono. We can't get confused this way. The rifle sight is red, blue, green. The monocular is mono like oh, you got mono he kissed Mike is Sally. Oh my god He's gonna fall off right mono Okay, and then put dash number that you want one two or three or war whatever I do whatever the number is you choose As far as quantity goes the big thing here is again if it was a choice and you only had so much money And you were, well, I'm not one of the monoculars, but I need two or three of the sites, but I can't afford that many right now. Buy as many sites as you can afford. Personally, I think we'll have the monoculars available longer. I recommend you go for the rifle site first. If you needed two or three, and you were going to do just two because you wanted to spread the wealth, so to speak, you wanted one of the monoculars. Don't get on fire for the monocular yet, unless that's what you specifically want. But if you're having to make a choice money-wise, I would get the sights first and get more as you needed them as opposed to getting monocular. That's just me because I know the rifle sight is more of a priority. A lot of you, if you're doing this, you want the same sight on several different guns. That way you pick it up. It's the same no matter which one you use. I understand that. And so these are only going to be available for whatever window. However long they last, it's going to be short. I know that. We'll get, you know, whatever we get, I'm going to tell you when we have to cut it off and it'll be the first thing I mention on the air. But right now, let's grab them while we can and it's the Axion Red, it's red, blue, green for the site and mono for the monocular. Now, if you don't care because you only get one of each, then again, make sure you subdivide and you didn't know you want one of the red, blue, green and you want one of the mono and then I need the address. Make sure you have the address there. And we can't get it to you if you don't have any. And that is $25 donation. $25 donation. You're happy, we're happy. And this will support the network and make you happy. You're invested. You're certainly getting to hear us. That's an investment. You're getting something, we're trading. But this is another way that I like because everybody gets a benefit out of this that is tangible. And it makes a big difference. So also, up the quality of our forces, you guys get what you need, we got what we need. So www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, go to the donate key. When you get to the donate key, enter in, again, the usual information. It is a $25 donation per item. The items are A, the red, blue, green rifle sight, and B, the monocular with illuminator. And I've tested both. The unit, as a matter of fact, I'm going to keep several back. I can because I know there's more of those. But I'm going to keep a couple back at least for myself right away. But anybody who's ordering them, you're prioritized. So we'll get that squared away. And a couple of you did respond with larger orders. Not a problem. Do it right away. We'll take care of it. We'll again, in order, but we'll make sure that you get those as quickly as possible. So another thing on that note with regard to sites, all before I forget, this is going in another direction, but separate from this, not us. If you go over to gunpartscorp.com, gunpartscorp.com, they have random things that they put in their sales and clearance section. Right now, they have a couple of AR-15 iron sites that are relatively cheap. One of them is a mag pole. Problem is it's only the front. It's the angular sight, so that you can offset. In other words, you're normally at the 12 o'clock mark for your regular optic, like the red, blue, green. But a lot of people are mounting the oblique front and rear sight. Well, we get a really great price on the front sight. But they don't have the back one that I've seen. However, I could have caught it before they posted the other. So if you want to, go over to gunpartscorp.com. Go over to the clearance and closeout section and take a look at what they've posted from, again, before the AR-15 parts, pieces, and assemblies. And you have to go through every page because it's eclectic. There is no subdivision. And searching is horrible. It works, but you get a lot of their extraneous stuff. So I'm just telling you, if you go to the clearance section, just go through every page and see what they have there. They do have a bunch of other magpole stuff that's cheaper than anybody else. That is, four grips, pistol grips, and even some butt stocks. Half the price of what they're going for in the market. So there's another place to get more AR-15 stuff to build another AR-15 or more than one if that's what you're looking to do. And those iron sites were definitely, I think, under $10. Again, if you have a source for the back site, the front site, you're saving a lot of money on it, as far as I'm concerned. So that's another solution. It may or around should be Polymer. So if it's made by them, but we'll, you know, again, we'll find out more. And there may be something in the information. It just jumped out at me because a lot of guys like that site setup. And the only thing is it would be nice to have both in one stop shopping, but that's not the case. Before we get any farther, do we have any callers? Let's make sure we're not leaving anybody out. And just in case. Okay, very good. Now. Another thing, I haven't mentioned this in a bit, but I'm going to remind you again, guys, if you have a primary vehicle that's an evac vehicle, and for all of your vehicles, if you can find a second wheel spare tire, your wheel, rim, and put together another spare tire, I highly recommend that. No matter what you've got to do to store it with trucks, it's pretty straightforward. You can actually use the truck storage, tire storage underneath. Superbends, Explorers, anything that's an SUV has that basic storage. But then, as I've pointed out many times, a cheap way to actually add rubber baby buggy bumper safety to the front of your truck, beyond maybe the push bumper that you already have, is to mount another tire forward the way for the longest time everybody traditionally did for cross country work, if you were driving long. A lot of guys had campers. The camper slid on the back of the truck which would make it where the storage normally was, which you had a connector on the inside of the box and usually the tire sat upright inside the box. Well, that didn't work when you had a slide-on camper. So you took that out and typically when you bought the camper you grabbed yourself a cattle bumper for the front and or just the frame. It came up like a couple of, you know, like a snaggle-tooth dog teeth from below. and you mount the tire up front. I recommend you do that again. If you can figure out a way to do it quick, fast, and re-economically, maybe somebody's got a flame torch, or go and see who's got something out there in the system for sale, that puts another tire on the truck. It offers more protection to the radiator. And here's a neat little trick. You can take and where you have the center ring or the center connect point for the rim to the frame. Cut yourself a piece of eighth inch or quarter inch steel have it, you know cut finish it paint it make it look pretty and Use that as like your big washer that holds the tire in place and bolt that down with a couple of now Here's another thing about that before I go any further. You know when you bolt that tire down If you can if you're going to build it, here's a recommendation Use the studs that you normally use for your fixtures, we know the tire, and also buy two or three extra lug nuts. And don't just use one lug nut to hold that on the frame. Try to get the longest stud that you can and stack a couple of lug nuts on both of the keeper bolts that are holding the spare tire to the frame in front of the radiator. That way if something happens where you lose something, guess what? You're carrying the spares that you need right there where they're easy to find. Oh, a wise person would also grease those. And if you're just using carbon steel, paint them a little bit. It's not a big deal until you need them. And if somebody gets a little crazy talent or does some really stupid stuff, it will make you so that you can't get away. You know, they take, you know, say, the lux off of one tire. Now, I can always scavenge off others, but if I got to spare or something, you know, weird happened where you didn't know why, but, you know, the tire came off the way, you're lucky, maybe they just weebled off because you weren't paying attention. And maybe you're stone cold tired from three days being up. Well, guess what? You ate a boo-boo, but tire's gone, can't find it. However, I have the spare. Oh, and look, there are the lug nuts that I need. At least four of them. And that'll keep it on the wheel this time because you can park her down. And if you're smart, you might even have a shoe in your repair kit, your spare kit, off the clunkers you took off when you put new ones all the way around on your tires. This might not be a bad idea right now. Don't throw away the old. Just keep them as spares, either both on the vehicle and in your reserves in the garage. or your spare parts bag and spare parts can for each of the vehicles you've got. But the advantage is you're back on the road pretty quick. So just a heads up on that one would probably be a really good idea. Another thing with regard to tires and we talked about patch kits, but I got a receipt from Joggy and Buddy's Memory and some of your new patch kits. There are a number of different really great systems out there. But once you got it patched, if you're out in the middle of nowhere, How do you air it back up? Oh, that's not a problem. It would be a good idea as part of your battery of tools on board. I just watch yard sales to get a cheapy little 12 volt air pump to put in the truck in each vehicle. Not just the truck. In the trunk of any vehicle you have and on board with each vehicle that you have. Why not? It only costs you, I've last couple of my buck, cost me $1 or $2 a yard sale. you plug them in and you got the tire filled back up. See how that works? So it is kind of beneficial to have the proper tools in the toolbox even if they're not great. Well it's cheapies, yes they are, they're cheapies. But when they're $2 a piece I can afford to have one in each vehicle. Now they aren't $2 if I buy them retail. But if you watch yard sales, especially again, I can't emphasize enough, strip these estate sales of all the tools that you need. Well, the last estate sale, I got a couple of folding camp saws. I got a couple of different, for instance, Sierra Cups. I got a stack of six Sierra Cups from one sale for 25 cents. Because Sierra cups aren't as in vogue, I guess. I don't know. I think in the camping world, they are. But Sierra cup is kind of like the canteen cup of the civilian side of the camping market. Not as big. I think the regular canteen cup does more work for you. But the idea is that it's balanced out with the Sierra cup. If you're going to make it for just doing light, warm, something to drink, you're only making something for yourself and you're trying to be conservative in your consumption. Me, in the field, not so much. I am going to ration stuff, but when it comes to fluids, oh, dump more in the system, trust me, no matter what it is, coffee, tea, whatever you've got, okay? Even just more water, you've melted from the snow. Well, I need more of that. Bigger and a lot more. Yum, yum, yum. So anyway the art sales and the right now especially and the estate sales are we're gonna find a lot of what I'm talking about here now the patch kits you want to invest you want to go to any number of different sources and You want the plug patch systems especially the ones where you can come in from behind and that will also do from inside the tire you're gonna have to yes you're gonna have to repair it in the field you're gonna have to basically make sure that you got yourself your flat bar and A couple of hammers would be a good idea, not just one, because things break. And you've got to be able to pull that tire to release access from the inside. You put that full plate patch with the side risk material. You poke that through with the gook on it. And the pressure helps to keep the seal up. And what's good is that they make a lot of these patch kits that will do side walls. Side walls used to be up. Well, if you took a hit there, you're screwed. But that's not the case now the traditional push type kits anything is better than nothing to have patch technology on board Mark so another thing nothing keep an eye on his yard sales for when grandpa got rid of his garage there and there's patch kits sitting right there ready to go to the older style simple group and Strand those are fighting to go ahead call jump in there, please Yeah, I just want to say something which talk about you know the tire, you know, on the radiator and okay, maybe it protects, maybe, you know, if you have the tire... You'll still need to spare. Yeah, you'll still need a patch. One spare under the truck and one inside and I think with this, okay, in my case it's next to the barn, five gallons of, time is of the essence. When you look, it takes the put, why not, by say, all the way down it goes into You know, a little, maybe you've got to talk about that, probably 50 gallons or 30, you know, the 500 gallon fuel, 30 minutes. Right, as a matter of fact, the gravity feed system like that, now remember guys, we don't go drilling on things unless we have to detach the fuel tanks and make them go away, away from flame and spark. But that technique, what you do is, guys that if you don't hook up the tank and have a lever with a tank option, you go one to the next. If you're going to do the gravity system, what you do is, and what a lot of guys have done, is they put the tank in the back in the box, upright, more like the older style reserve tanks used for carrying out and filling other equipment up. And you can either do it as just a line that you have that you can have on standby and then just plug in to uncap and then let the fuel feed as you go. But the trick, the best trick, is drop the fuel tank, take the connection spout, drill a quarter inch or a three-eighth inch hole in the side. run your copper line down and paper that a little bit too by the way so that it works down not just 90 degrees. And then you put everything back together like you said and when you hit that cock on the side you just hit that lever, the valve, your gravity feeding to the fuel tank that's already in motion and you can be doing that on the move. Especially if you have more than one person in the vehicle because remember, so one person is working as like the vehicle crewman engineer and the other person is the driver. And the one person has got the red knuckles on the wheel, the eyeballs are wide open and they're focusing on driving. The other person's job is to assist and take care of all the little things that need to be done while the driver is doing his job. Good point there. Again, there's all kinds of neat little tricks. I'll tell you what, one of our guys has the older dodges like the M880s we were buying. Guys, the old Dodge trucks used to have the fuel tank inside in the back wall, remember? Yeah, I was just going to bring that out because I borrowed years ago, I borrowed one of these and I did not realize the time and tank because I stood there at the gas station for hours. I kept thinking, had a whole lot to take. Forever, it turned out it was special, you know, early 80s. It wasn't just... Right, this is where there's... Go ahead. So he was hand filled it all up. I said, yeah, I guess so. When you're in a Y-roll, the last thing in the world you want to do is be standing on the side of the running vehicle. At that point, you want to go there. You don't want to be stopping in towns. You don't want to be going to a gas station. You want to map out way ahead of time exactly how many miles it is, how many miles you've got, and your vehicle got that. You have enough, even if it's only you get there. That's all you need. That's the whole point. Another thing is this. It's a one-tenth with the wires going to primary battery. You go up to an inside cab and you just fill your vehicle. Right, a parasite, a parasite comes to you. A parasite comes to you, it's priceless. You can pull security doing this. in the gas and you're another. Real quick on that note, remember you're a flying lighter the more fuel you carry and one of the things that one of our guys did, that's why I mentioned that, he bought the Dodge with the standard cap on the driver's side up by your shoulder, up by your behind, you know, where your seat is. Then the tank of course was behind. He then, because I was buying all the spare parts for these Dodges, And I was buying Dodge Rex too from the government. The saddle tanks on Dodges went both ways. They would be left and right and they also made front and rear. So they were both either on the same side or they were saddle tanks in the first model which would be left and right like a saddlebag would be. Well what he did is he took both of the saddlebag models first and mounted them. Then he got the third tank that would be with the newer model on the left side. and cut the hole, welded everything in place, and he had four tanks on board. Now to do that, you have to have two different switchers going to a third switcher because you've got four tanks for an option. So you can't go one, two, three, four. You have an AB tank and then a CD tank. And then, depending on which side you want to draw from, what he did was kind of like you said, an aircraft aviation control. Then you have a master control to take from either the left side or the right side. Whichever one progressively runs out, then you switch over to the next. But you then have an unlimited range. I don't even know what the calculated range on that truck was because you had, I think it was 16 or 18 gallons behind the seat, if not 22, depending on what year. And then you had the saddle tanks, which constituted another, what, 70 gallons. And then you had the third tank, which constituted another 21 gallons. So the only thing is if you got hit like I told him I said well the good thing is we can drive a long ways The bad thing is if something does catch fire. We better get the hell away from this truck We're at the top oh my goodness we're set five minutes after guys. We got to get out of the way here We should be here music appreciate Mike calling and guys got blessed the Republic We're going to be back in an hour, a little less than that now. And meanwhile, Ed's taking over Memorial TR coming up. And again, stay focused, pay attention, prep everything you need to, guys. Make sure you fuel tanks are topped off no matter how many you have. God bless. Bye bye.
