It's just too nice a thing for totalitarian government to help take the food supply away. Well, let's not forget that there was containment in the past, but guys, one of the agreements been here over the last 10 years, progressively, China has dropped all of the barriers to transfer foodstuffs from the United States to China. They stripped out a lot when they created the coronavirus virus scam. Massive amount of pork was stripped out of the United States and shipped over there. In reverse order, there are 100% of several of the different name brands, or at least close enough that won't make any difference, are being brought back in supposedly from China. And I said this right from the get-go. Well, yeah, you might be sending your grade A chicken over there, but that doesn't mean you're getting the same chicken coming back here. Think about it. Well, this is exactly what, especially with the globalists, why did we need to ship the pork bellies all the way across to the other side of the world for processing? And how does that make any intelligent economic sense? Or how is that good for the carbon footprint of the planet? Think about it. It's asinine. In fact, it's insane. But it's the kind of wicked tactic that's been used in the past. It's like why or why did we stop using grade-a American oil grade one and go to grade three Russian? For the last year and year and a half think about that one that again. How is that economically sound for this country? It's not cheaper, right? Anybody see it cheaper out there prices were already going up of course as everybody knows way before the the fake Russian, you know routine the war that's going on over in the the yuck crane So now we have this situation where they're finally admitting, well, we're getting all of our most, if not all of our oil from Russia, or at least a big chunk of it. Well, why? We never have in the past, nor did we have any need to. There actually was no reason or excuse for that. And in fact, again, the carbon footprint on the carbon footprint. Let's talk about that one. Tell me how shipping oil from Russia to the United States is more economical than processing a higher quality product on site and at the very least using it ourselves. That doesn't make any sense at all, does it? We know better. So again, we're being betrayed. The biggest thing here again is The race to see if they're going to baffle everybody with bullshit, especially if they touch off some nukes, which is really, to me, again, as I've said, the probability of the Russians doing it is zero, just about, because they don't really have an interest in it. And the only way that it may happen in the theater over there is because they're on their front porch, and an enemy combatant is at their door, so they're going to use all of their cards. Every game piece is going to be used and they haven't used their best yet contrary to the lies That they've generated with the press. I hear music. I believe sorry I had a button. Oh, okay. Well, it's gonna say cuz we are just at the well a little past the bottom of the hour break here I'm surprised anyway Take into consideration that All of these actions do nothing but detract from America. Well, we end up with the lowest quality products and we're paying the highest price. Anybody figure that one out? Consider what we're paying per pound, you know, what they're doing. We're ending up with China's leftover slash B grade product, which is what they're shipping back. It's all going overseas. Needless to say, when it's come back, they've cross-contaminated by accident or intent. Does it make any difference? It's still criminal. By accident or intent, we now have, because of the lack of restraint and controls that existed 15 years ago, or 20 years ago, or 25 years ago, but do not exist now, because of the betrayal by Washington, D.C., against the American people, while favoring the Communist Chinese regime. That's how this stuff has gotten across the water. And all of the restrictions, progressively, step by step by step, were relieved for them But increased for you in virtually every category across the board is something to think about there I wanted to touch on one of the things here real quick, Bear Creek Arsenal. A lot of you guys love the AR-10. I've had discussions on this and even though somebody said, well what do you know if it was a, which rifle, which 308 rifle would you pick of the military types that are out there? And so I did point out that, you know, again, I would get to the AR-10 and more than a couple of times I've had people completely ignore everything else I said and just grab an AR-10. which I don't have a problem with, okay? Because again, guns are for buying now for selling. Just go ahead and buy that and then buy something else too. Anyway, over at Bear Creek Arsenal, this is a total rifle, .308 20-inch 416R stainless SOCOM barrel, 1 in 10 twist, rifle length gas system 15-inch M-lock split rail, new M-lock side charging Gen 2, Rifle engraved lower no magazine Mmm $700 now everybody goes roll $700 well considering that the average is up around 9.950 For something basically in this configuration and they're saying recommended sticker prices $999.99. Well, I mean $1,000. I just said $1,000 But if you were looking for an AR-10, this is a complete rifle platform It is over at Bear Creek Arsenal dot com. Go over to their deals den. And it is listed there right now. And again, does that come with a magazine? That's only agitates me. He's like, well, wait a minute. If I buy a rifle, I would kind of expect the magazine to be with. Maybe that's just something crazy about, you know, Uncle Mark here. But this is something we saw several years ago. But apparently it's something that more than a few companies are doing that are doing production guns directly from the plant. rather than distributors, etc. This is Bear Creek Arsenal that you're dealing with, the actual manufacturer. Now there are more than a couple of other three-o-weights that are in the same price range, $700 a unit. So you may want to take a look and see if there's something there that floats your boat, makes you happy, but seems to be consistent across the board price-wise. 18 inch, 20 inch, whichever you go with you will end up with a $700 price tag, which I think is rather fascinating. And I believe they might even have a left-handed shooter. I could be wrong, but you might want to check this out. If you're a lefty, they actually may have an on-sale, an AR-10 type platform in a 760 by 51 NATO, $700. There are several variations on the rifle available that are in the sales section for this few days, however long it lasts. So you're going to want to go check that out and see if anything there makes sense. If you already are committed to that weapon and you're looking for more AR-10 type rifles to flesh out a unit, this probably is about the best price for a 7.62x51 NATO .308 AR-10 type rifle that you're going to find. I would go with a 20 inch barrel, not the 18. If first I would go with a 20 inch first because of the same price. Two more inches of barrel for the same price means I'm buying the bigger barrel, by the longer barrel whenever I can. Now there are a couple of variants on what configuration. You're going to want to read all the information and cherry pick what you think makes the most sense for you. And yes, they do have one in 6.5 Creedmoor also. If that's something you might find be more significant. So that's over at BEAR, B-E-A-R, BEAR Creek Arsenal dot com. And they do have, of course, conventional ARs, and they do have the 762x51, or for, no, for correction, correction. 762x39 upper, heavy barrel, AR-15, CAR-15 slash M4 configuration, traditional charging handle for $214 right now. probably 214.95 so we'll just say $215 again. That is just the upper but that's with the bolt carrier with a charging handle ready to snap out of whatever gun you've got whatever lower and that is a useful solution so you may want to check out check that out and get into it asap and that's over at Bear Creek Arsenal dot com Also, you know, we were talking about nuclear preparedness, we always do. In fact, we've been way ahead of the curve, even though everybody was told that we're never, never, never going to have to worry, worry, worry about World War III ever again, Larry. Now they're telling us they want World War III. Isn't that amazing? I would never have suspected this. We know they are liars, and they have always been liars, and they are always going to be liars. Now, since we understand that, One of the other things to take into consideration is that with water storage is volume But you can't just have water going in guys if you are going to prep a location you need to make sure you have effective drainage And since you're looking at a an issue with regard to water goes in it's got to come out you'd better be looking at again some form of water evacuation system for sewage and wastewater now This is something that is not hard to deal with, but most people seem to just forget about it. And two weeks in a position, you need to be prepared to either A, evacuate the material. There's a number of different techniques that are cruder and rooter. But if you're going to build a position right now, you need to be thinking about drainage and or processing of waste material. Now, cans and containers and whatever else aren't hard. In fact, I'm going to remind you, if you're using food in a bunker or in a fallout shelter or whatever, remember what I've said, water goes into the can. Everything, juice, liquid, anything is going to be, you're going to drink it, you're going to put it into the soup, whatever you're going to do, but you're not going to leave anything in those cans. Cans go inside, cans go inside, cans go inside, cans. Remember it's the old Chinese puzzle routine. Everything is designed so that, or everything should be handled so that you minimize volume. Don't crush the cans. Cans are a tool. Down the road you may need them for something else. So the important thing is that you prevent mold, mildew, and infestation. It's not likely you're going to have big bug problems, but you can still, again, depending upon humidity, remember closed space, you all sweat. The air mix with regard to humidity is going to go up. It's just the way it is. Plus, underground, typically, no matter how hard you try, you have a certain amount of moisture transfer that takes place. It's just the nature of where you are and what you're going to be doing. So you need to think these things through now. Evacuation of the waste, gravity sucks, don't forget, you know, out on the left cold on the right and feces don't flow upstream. So in other words, make sure that you know where your gravity point is and if you haven't built something, you need to build either a septic transfer or a system that will drop everything out and away from where you're located. The other consideration, I know this is horrible for most people, I like God mark, but you know what, if your fluid's coming out, if it's coming out from one direction, no, it's not great, but water purification can actually recycle a lot of it. Not great, but... Remember, there are conservation methods that are going to be necessary. Not necessarily for drinking, but remember, there are some simple filtering systems that can be used that can bring down the urine to brackish level for flushing, for instance, a wet toilet system if you have it. Now, one of the reasons for that is, I don't know what your water reserves are. Everybody thinks about using a lot of the modern conveniences, but you have to remember what volume of material is required to operate a modern convenience. It's kind of like regular furnaces in a house. A furnace in a house sounds really great. It's really a convenience. But understand that it's operating potential, the way that even the new programmable ones are actually not very efficient when it comes to waste of materials. In other words, the consumable fuel, whatever it is. They still have to maintain the site at a particular temperature no matter whether it's occupied or not. In this case, you're obviously going to be occupied. Everything is centered around a two-week plus cycle of survivability in whatever you build. So you have to remember a couple things including keeping people busy. Don't forget that. Stupid things. Games of any kind. The more road games and the non-electric games and things that you can put together and spares of, I always love it when somebody says, we have a bomb shelter there, right? And we will have one chess board. Do you know that in the experiments that they did, in fact this happened World War II, people would get into fist fights over playing the chess, playing on the chess board. Okay, one chess board doesn't do it. One thing doesn't do it if you have a lot of people that you're having to manage. And it's a good idea because it's another way to keep people distracted. You're trying to eat up two weeks worth of time in a limited environment. How do you do that? You distract the mind. A lot of people have a tough time with this and we have a lot of drama queens out there too. Don't forget that. Look at how effeminate all of the populations, especially the male populations become. This in and of itself has created a lot of other issues. that weren't an issue, say 30, 40, 50 years ago, with people who were planning for the same problem. What has the public fool system produced in the way of a creature that wanders the earth now? Okay, it isn't pretty. And it's not all, but it's enough that that's constantly part of the formula, especially if you have a lot of tagalongs. You know, everybody's had this discussion, okay, remember, you know, Martha, you and Bob were the only ones gonna come. Oh, I just had to bring my cousin and this and this and this, like, well, this is the problem with not really incorporating adult discipline into the process. And again, remember those other people, they don't have, typically don't have any discipline. They weren't prepared for the issue. They, of course, are expecting to suck off you the way they've sucked off society. Don't forget that one. and it's going to be something that has to be addressed beforehand and then you have to remember that for that reason you may minimize contacts and potential individuals that may be coming into the fold when the time comes because they will have, they have no discipline beforehand and they'll have no discipline where it is especially required for what is a relatively short window. Now, amazingly enough though, here's what's fascinating. It's just like with real criminals. Most of the population has actually got what I decided is the real criminal mindset. And in many way cases, everything from just doing a simple work task to even maintaining a job. The logic is somebody else is going to do for you, okay? If you had 14 days to survive, it's guaranteed within 10 or 12, there would have to be some kind of drama queen event that would develop. because the deadline is known for the area for the activity it is interesting that the drama queen types if you know another if you had to go 10 feet they'd be there'd be a drama queen event within eight feet if you had to go 100 feet there would be a drama queen event within you know within 80 feet of traveling doing whatever think of it that way that's exactly what kind of of infantile mindset you have with people, but it's also a rule, it's a, to a degree, a lazy and yet also criminal mindset. And it's something that we've seen before. Okay. So you've got to be ready for that problem on top of everything else. Good call. Jump in there. Yeah. This text makes, uh, I don't know if anybody, I've only been listening to this hour. I don't know if anybody mentioned that today, uh, is Patriots day, April 19th. And we... Go ahead. It's a special day for us and for them. Yep. It's the day the shot was heard around the world. April 19, 1775. Remember, that's the actual... I don't do 1776. Have you noticed, guys, have I signed things? It's Liberty 1775. Why? Because that's when the war started. They tried to get you to detract from that. You know, Spirit of 76. Yeah, okay, that's true. I'm really motivated by the Declaration of Independence. But we started our war on April 19th, 1775, and we decided to go to war. We the people against against the regime and we were very successful Contrary to all the you know once they try to re-engineer it to try and make you believe that you just couldn't have done it without Big Brother or somebody's Big Brother, you know the French or whatever The fact of the matter is that we won the war period we did if we hadn't gotten up off our haunches and done something and started it They would have just carried on and on until they had ooze their way over. It's just like the garbage they're doing right now or trying to. You know, across the board, Patriot's Day is our day. Now again, April 19th of 1993, they tried to flip it. It failed. In fact, it had just a reverse effect and they know it. So then they, of course, waited two years and then the Israelis and the ATF and FBI did the Oklahoma City bombing, fabricated the entire propaganda wave, some fools ate a drank of Kool-Aid, most everybody else was pretty well smart enough to figure it out that had no brain, no brain between their ears and head on their shoulders. So, again, the third benchmark date, the Oklahoma City bombing failed as originally hoped yet again, and it was an act of desperation by the Ringknockers there, too. So, we're on the cusp of whatever else you're going to try. And for that reason, we have to embrace our heritage. April 19th, 1775, that is the benchmark for us saying we own ourselves. Now everybody's gonna have to make a decision on that now to do you own yourself? Or do you believe that you are property of the state and go along with that scam if you do? Well again a slave you shall be and carry on But we will not be we will not join with you in that slavery. We're going to end up again dealing with the problem It's gonna have to happen Anything else Tex-Mex jump in there, please. Oh Yeah, I guess this we're on it. We're having we've got some apple seeds finally back up in this area Over at the curvil range curvil, Texas range For the I do believe is the second weekend. No. Yeah second weekend in May So it's two days 75 bucks for both days And if any of y'all are in the area, come and check us out. I think there's still some slots open. If you go to appleseedinfo.org and you can look up the schedule. And we're in Kerrville, Texas. Excellent. At the Hill Country Range. Now, do we do have a web page? Is it part of the regular schedule for the Apple Seed? Yes, yes, if you go to the main page and it'll say events and look it up and you can click your state and it'll tell you where to go. We found a range, we've been missing out on a range here. We kind of lost the range, we kind of got booted out actually. But we were able to find this one and we feel real happy that we got this one. Excellent. Well the new range is What what if the effect is it is an open range or is it closed range? Nobody's a pride? No, it's open. It's a public range. Yeah. Yeah It's actually an Olympic range for mostly shotgun, but they have They do have a private. We do have a private Bay for us to use Excellent. Very good. Now. Okay real quick. Yeah, somebody's asking go ahead and give out the website three times Go slow talk clearly and everybody's got their pen and paper ready. Go ahead Okay, it's apple seed info dot org. Apple seed info dot org. Okay. No, no, it's okay. Repeat it again. Go right ahead, please. I'm pretty sure it's apple seed info dot org. And if I didn't get it right, I shouldn't, I should have been memorized by now, but in case, uh, and if you want to hear about 1775 and what all those regular old regular people did you can you can find out right there and That is the correct website by the way Huh? That is the correct website Okay. Yeah, find out what what what the? what though what people did to gain their liberty and Will show you how to hit a man-sized target of 500 yards with the 25 yard range excellent Well again, one of the things, the purpose behind this is to bring in new shooters. So, you know, you're looking for all ages, right? Yes, we have, we've got some, we've seen them as young as seven. I mean, that's, so... Any younger might be a little bit too young, but you know, because they got to be able to hold the rifle up, you know. Right. We use 22. 22 is the 10, Ruger 10-22 is the number one if you can, if you've got one, if not bring anything you got. But yeah, we really love it when we see the kids, then the kids come in. They're our future and I mean and even so we've even had older people I mean Barely able to to get down on the in prone position, but they came and they and we made sure they had a good time Excellent then again, that's the whole idea guys remember. This is this is not a Master range competition. This is not a a DCM match shoot. This is designed to be a user-friendly event where you are familiarized with the weapon and you're given the opportunity to develop skill, right? Yes. Which is what you're there for. That really should be your, at this point in time, get as many people out there as you can, sit them down behind the weapon, take your time, remember, be patient with your student. and everybody needs to be brought to the same level of performance which they can be. So you guys all have to help make that happen. And the Apple Seed program, we've had several people asking about it and I even got several emails, in fact we've got them in front of me right now, I'm gonna be answering after we're done with the program. So guys, for everybody out there, take advantage of the page. You may have something going on in your area you didn't even know about, which is fine, now you do. and you can get into the program and bring a few extra people along. Question, do they buy and can you buy ammunition on site? Do they provide a limited amount of ammo like in 22 or do you have to bring everything with you? You should bring everything with you, but the instructors, since we're all volunteers, everybody that works to shoot is a volunteer. A lot of volunteers will bring extra ammo to, you know, if you don't have any, we'll sell you some. And we even have loaner rifles. You know, a few, we have a few instructors who will loan you a rifle. And we've got a deal with our the man that runs this this shoot I don't run this one meet another man runs it and He has a deal with a place called stand one armory here in Texas and they provide They will provide any 22 ammunition for any children that show up that do not have or you know under 18 Who don't have ammo they will provide ammo Excellent. So again, for everybody out there, there's no reason not to attend. And again, the loader rifles can be any number of different weapons, but again, remember guys, the idea is to get you out there with the, you know, cheap weld, shoulder weld, trigger squeeze, side alignment, everything we're supposed to be, you know, you're gonna start perforating paper. Remember, where's the muzzle? Downrange, always downrange the enemy, right? We are at the top, God bless our republic. We are the sun's yes we are the sun's the sun's of liberty
