a teacher that I had. Now I only, I went through the seventh grade, I went to the seventh grade. I left home when I was ten years old because I was hungry. I used to do this, I'd work in the summer and I'd go to school in the winter. But I had this one teacher, he was the principal of the Harrison School in Vincent, Indiana. To me this was the greatest teacher, a real sage of my time anyhow. He had such wisdom. And we were all reciting the Pledge of Allegiance one day. And he walked over, this little old teacher, Mr. Laswell, what's his name? Mr. Laswell, he says, he says, I've been listening to you boys and girls recite the Pledge of Allegiance all semester. And it seems as though it's becoming monotonous to you. If I may, may I recite it and try to explain to you the meaning of each word. Me an individual a committee of one pledge dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self-fitty allegiance my love and my devotion to the flag our standard Oh glory a symbol of freedom wherever she waves There's respect Because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts freedom is everybody's job United that means that we have all come together States individual communities that have united into 48 great states 48 individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose all divided with imaginary boundaries yet united to a common purpose and that's love for country and to the Republic, Republic, a state in which sovereign power is invested in representative chosen by the people to govern. And government is the people, and it's from the people to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people, for which it stands. One nation, one nation, meaning so blessed, my God, indivisible, capable of being divided. With liberty, which is freedom, the right of power to live one's own life without threats, fear, or some sort of retaliation and justice. The principle or qualities of dealing fairly with others, for all. Which means, boys and girls, it's as much your country as it is mine. And now, boys and girls, let me hear you recite. the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Since I was a small boy, two states have been added to our country and two words have been added to the Pledge of Allegiance under God. Wouldn't it be a pity? If someone said that is a prayer and that would be eliminated from schools too. 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 tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free, the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper, so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. 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 born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores, and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God given right we only watching tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Dill the land of the free there's nothing worse than being a disarmed Ukrainian having to throw a gasoline bottle because your government confiscated guns, ammo, and put your gun owners in jail. We're not gonna go there, and we're not gonna let that happen here. Be prepared for an American war for independence, which really is needed, because it's the only thing that's gonna fix the problems that are before us. Everything else is spinning your wheels and rearranging dick chairs on the Titanic. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the First hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Kirk. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories. Southwest, West, South and Northeast. Ladies and gentlemen, you were listening to us on... www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org, and we are on satellite virtually across the globe for all of you guys listening and rebroadcasting that are in the Merchant Marine and also contact with God knows how many islands in the West Pacific especially where we have a big listenership right now. I want to say hi and greetings to all of our friends that are listening across the planet in that mode. Also, we are at a plotter of other communications technologies to include UltraNet Hallmark and Golden Spike technologies. Which we have built the Patriot movement free and separate from the conventional internet because that is virtually enemy territory. Now we'll use it, we're using it right now. But we understand because we already saw what happened in Canada. You've already seen what they did with playing with Russia. You know what they have planned for here. They just know that if they do it, a lot of people are gonna be really pissed. And it'll help push a lot more people in our camp than are already here. We got a lot of people. So anyway, it is Weapons Wednesday. It is the 27th of April. It is the 14th year of Open Obvious and Pissing in Your Face, Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with the K 2022 Old Earth Calendar 2022 Battle for the Republic, The Dense of Swords. Weapons Wednesday. The 6.8 program. I had a conversation with, I've actually been talking with experienced machine gunners. Guys who are service personnel I worked with or we've had experience that best randomly other people you've been the military. Yep Never use a m60 or a mag 58 or any of the 556 saw guns whichever model you go Yeah You ever haven't you know have them stretch the case on you? Well all the time I said Think about this new round this new case that the idiots have come up with and think about this They want to make that the automatic rifleman's the Saw Gunners munition. And it's like, how the hell is that supposed to work? I mean, just common sense dictates knowing what we've seen with what happens, no matter how hard you try. The only way that the government, let me point this out, let's jog everybody's memory. We had the M16 E1 and A1 rifle, and the Kar-15 came in there with that. They had safe, semi, full auto, you know, murder magazine, okay? Government's answer to us eating too much ammo and the pencil heads in Washington and the district of criminals in the pentagram decided that the American soldier could not be trusted with fallout on fire because we would just, well, spray and breathe. So what did they do? They came up with the M16A2 and we got a poor guy dying there. If you're going to die, just if you can't gasp out your last name and your location and we will send the mortuary. Darn, so soon? Anyway, what's interesting is the M16A2, what was the solution? You have kind of full auto, you get three round burst. So it was safe. semi and three round burst Now why did they do that? There are some other issues actually heating up The weapon is one of them but you can't do that with an automatic rifleman and I would point out Let me give you a little remind you some of you guys are Marines The m16a1 was in service with the Marine Corps longer than it was with the US Army and probably we slid a bunch of a ones over to the Marines But they dropped the m60 scrub it from the system. Everybody did simultaneously. God knows what we did with it. We probably scold them to the Israelis and the Jews, sold them to everybody else at a major killing because they got it from us for free. It's usually what happens. kosher mafia always rips us off. But anyway, what's fascinating is the Marine Corps then wanted to dump their M16A1s and got brand new M16A2s. This was a wonderful idea. They're getting a new gun. No, at least it's not a rebuilt from 77, right? Which was originally a service rifle from Vietnam era. Well instead what happened is all of a sudden they didn't realize that nobody, now think about this, the pentagram has spent trillions of dollars every year. The Marine Corps billions of dollars every year, whole big think tanks. You know what they did? They literally ejected all automatic weapons, full automatic weapons fire from the inventory of the Marine Corps. Do you remember that? Well, the new machine gun wasn't out yet. Yeah, that's the whole point. The new saw wasn't out yet. The mag 58 wasn't available in whatever variant, R258, whatever, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, you know what we had? The Marine Corps had no automatic fire, no volume fire. Do you remember what they did? What they did is they took a bunch of M16 A1 uppers and built an H-bar upper with a bipod fixture. It was heavier and sin. Anybody remember this? It was actually it showed you something that the AR-15 could be used as was intended back in the late 50s and 60s with the philosophy of the squad gun would be nothing more than a beefed up extension of the standard rifle. And guess what, that's exactly what they did. The emergency purchased and built a whole pile of these uppers that made a standard M16A1 lower into, you know, created an automatic rifle, a saw gun in 5.56. So it did satisfy the cooperative ammunition need. You know, in other words, the saw gunner was gonna get a 5.56 chain fed gun. But for the time being to get him up to speed and because they didn't have anything to issue anything, they had to turn around and take those A1 lowers with the new modified upper and that was the squad gun. It did bridge the problem and eventually the government, very rarely does this happen, guys, you might remember this. because of the Marine Corps, they were able to sell those as surplus, the uppers, because they weren't select fire, they're just beefed up AR-15 upper. Now, M16 upper in this case with an M16 bolt. And what's interesting is those things got sold. Some of you listening might have one of those. And if you do, by the way, it's quite a collector's item. Some of them are even stamped USMC. It depends on when you got them, where they came from. Now the contractor that built them was able to do an overruns, so a bunch of those showed up. Why am I offshooting on that? Well, because these are ideas that after, when you screw up, and by the way, you're worth trillions of dollars and you screw up because not a single person figured out that the Marine Corps was gonna have this happen. Do you know that? All the dumbasses for all the idiot sticks all the officers piled one on top of the other all the way up to generals Guess what not one of them looked at the schedule and realized well We're just gonna completely gut the automatic firepower of the Marine Corps and they did They were so anal retentive about getting those guns get those guns get those Dersirculate those guns get those guns back to the our armory Get them back to the arsenal get them back to the you know to the cold storage Although most of them are probably cut up, you gotta remember this is back about the time of Bush won the idiot stick slash the traitor. And Clinton, the idiot stick slash traitor and those two worked hand in glove as anti gunners. So they destroyed as much as they could actually. Now, during that time, the first concern was, again with 556. Even with 5.56 is that with those automatic rifles, they were seeing an extension of issues with regard to super heating with the receivers. Now, remember that they did fix that because they beefed everything up. They gave the barrel, I'd say about a third yet again, the weight of an H bar. They also ventilated it. And it was rather interesting, some of the stuff they did, but they also again increased and added a lot of weight. They used a phenolic plastic foregrip. with a vertical grip that could be added or and of course a bipod option. The bipod could be disconnected easily. And it was really a cool idea. To be quite honest, we'll probably duplicate the thing down the road. It would be the fact it would be intelligent to do it now. But they still have a problem with elongating cases and especially with sustained automatic fire, which by the way, the squad gunner is supposed to do. So every person I've asked about this new 6.8 idea is going, did they test this? And I had to repeat, well obviously somebody did, but wait a minute, let's think about what I just told you about the Marine Corps. Do they care if they're disarming America? Does CIG care if they're disarming US military or going to hamper the US military? Hell no. Do the idiot stick globalists and the pentagram care whether or not they're going to get people killed? Hell no. Yeah, that one, the punk we got, Miley Cyrus said, oh so happily, he was gonna tell the Chinese if we were coming. He was gonna betray everybody through the entire chain of command. Cuz good old Miley Cyrus there, old Miley, Miley is the chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Which means within the uniform command structure, the guy who's in charge of all you guys in uniform, was gonna butt screw every last one of you and get you killed. And you know, a lot of more every Democrat, every communist clapped for that guys for two days after he made that comment. Do you remember that? So don't think they're working for you. Go ahead, jump in their car. The gun works perfectly well on the computer. Yeah. Yeah, this is a number that used to say it works. It works great on paper. Well, now we're going to hear. Well, I'm sure okay. Here's what's interesting is again sustained fire because that here's the thing that we have to remember Phase one is that they're gonna have this brand new battle rifle. Okay Phase two is that that's also gonna be the solution for the automatic weapon the belt fed or magazine slash however They're gonna do it. Apparently they're gonna push the RPK idea that it's not going to be a chain fed or it's supposed to be, I mean in theory, but you know they may do the RPK, we're all that the RPK is a Taffy stretched out AK, longer barrel, Beaver board, the reverse Beaver board club stock to the rear and a 40 round magazine or if you were lucky maybe a 75 round drum. Now, all those things have been worked out, but I just don't have high confidence in any of the assets buying American. So, either the BetaMag, the Titsadoom magazine, that's available. You have the different 50 rounders being made by established magazine manufacturers who know their product works. These guys can all be tapped, but do I have confidence in a communist? And a whole pile of communists with stars on their shoulders doing the right thing for the American soldier? Hell no. We all know better than that. They're traitors. They've been traitors. They brag publicly. We have never seen this. I have never seen this in my life. And I'm not that old, but I'll tell you what, there's old repeal of each and the same thing when they heard what happened, when they saw what happened. It's like any other time in our history to walk up and put a bullet in his ass. And I've said a million times to all you guys about good old General Miley, his ass should be in Leavenworth and they should be pumping light and air to his ass. But instead, he's in charge of all you guys in uniform and is ready to screw your hind end so fast to make your head swim. The word sacrifice is on his lips, on his mind, every minute of every day when it comes to what he plans on doing to the American military. He's itching to scuttle up with them. They're Chinese get a whole bunch of Americans killed He said so because he'd have to give them the information so they could kill you guys that are being sent to fight Yeah, I want that guy in charge and by the way all the rest of monkeys with him. They're not not my circus and those aren't my monkeys Those fools know so anyway This is where the, I believe, well, mark my word on this, there's two ways they can go and it's really common. A is they're going to do what they did with the grand, which wouldn't be a problem if the physics work, is ratchet back the load by maybe 10%, 6 to 10%, which would knock down the pressure of the chamber. And in the process, allow them to use brass. Now, the other option is, cuz they'll claim that they don't want to drop the energy down, is they're gonna go to a full bi-metal or slash steel case, whatever variation they come up with. And that'll be a panic buy. It'll be quietly done in that they'll just shut up and you won't know about it. But they spent all the money for the dual peace case, which is a failure case. And then they'll get us into the rest of the disaster. So anyway, enough said on that only in that we are working on a 6.8 project. We can pretty well work any of that math in. I believe that we can have an AR-10 first model, a prototype within a very, very, very short period of time because it isn't a big deal. The biggest thing is just getting whichever barrel maker finishes first, a 6.8 government barrel. We're gonna make our specs as far as the external specs on the barrel. We're not matching their crap We don't I don't give a squat about most the garbage they come up with this committee of monkey solution usually again Doesn't get anything done and by the way, it's sick. It's expensive. They won't be sick barrels That means that they'll be as well as well built but will be one quarter of the price of whatever the government's buying at least God, Godly knows what they're actually spending and how much they got. First of all, God knows what they got, slid under the table, all these peckerwoods to betray America and buy another foreign gun, number one. Number two is God knows how much we actually have given the turds that are fiddle farting with this project in terms of over-the-counter money, side projects, sub-funding that had to be done, supplemental funding for rebuild project A, B, C, D, E, F, G, et cetera. So I ain't holding my breath on that one. It won't be a big deal to find them if they're on the battlefield. I mean, come on, time comes. Don't worry, you just carry ammunition. Wait for the guy who is carrying the rifle to die, who will pick up the gun. Remember, it's like Stalingrad. Pretty simple. Well, we don't plan on being in that situation, do we? No. American, buy more ammo. Also, we are interested in the less expensive 30 out six. I know that that man's got 30 out six for up around $50 a box. I would point out that classic firearms, although I've not checked this afternoon, classic firearms, they didn't have 60, 50, 40 or $30 a box, 30 out six have none. Now, if they've restocked of something, it's not gonna be cheap probably, it would be great if it was. So for all you 30-06 operators, I'm going to remind you of something. You should already be reloading, but then again, every one of you listening, 556-762-39, 545-39, 7mm Bouser. I don't care what you're using. You better buy a set of dies today. That should be one of your project list items. Get the dies. You can always get something to reload with as far as the machine, but you need the dies. So get the dies. For what is your shooting? Okay. Good call her chip in there. Yeah, John from Maine. I looked at a picture of that case and I don't know how you're going to join two dissimilar pieces of metal together at those pressures and not have a separation. Right. Hold up. The gunner tips. Go ahead. Go ahead. Yeah, that just boggles my mind. I don't see how you can do it because I won't mention names, but there's, I saw yesterday in the shop, there's a semi-auto handgun that shoots 22 magnums, and apparently the manufacturer's ammo is too hot because what it's doing is it's blowing the cases at the end. And that's a uniform piece of metal. That's not a bi-metal. Right, and one of the things about this is we've had this technology, this is has been reintroduced and reintroduced and reintroduced with failure each time in the last, oh, let's see, this is 2022, so 60 years, in 60 years of ammunition development, the only thing you can do which grossly overcomplicates the round is A, you're certainly going to, they're going to be bonded by heat. I mean, the brass is One way or another, there has to be a bonding process there, it just doesn't make sense. But what's most likely is a micro ledge. And I have not looked closely at what they've come up with in the way of an idea. But even with the micro ledge, all that is is a point of failure waiting to happen. Because in sustained semi-automatic mode, I'm probably not gonna be an issue. Even light automatic load, not gonna be much of an issue. But in the sustained automatic fire, which realistically, here's the only way you're gonna stop that. You're gonna put a, what are you gonna do? Put a thermal sensor on the gun? Are you gonna bollocks the damn thing up by matting more junk that makes no sense and does nothing but add weight to the weapon but does not perform? But it doesn't perform the spec the way they claimed it would. Cuz that's the only thing you could do, is you could limit the gunner. You do that with a GE minigun by the way. That does actually exist because you have a thermal control. When your gun gets to a certain temperature, you'll remember you hear, what's that? That's the barrel spinning cooling. It's doing looking just like it's shooting, but it's not. What's it doing? It's cycling to cool the weapon down. When you hear that, or a beep every once in a while or. What's happening is if you're trying to do the I'm gonna shoot the whole jeep full of, you know, jeep curler full of ammo at once, the gun is regulating you. Because otherwise, it literally is a kinetic energy machine. Number one, it'll start to go taffy on you, and I ain't talking the cases, I'm talking the barrels. And then at some point, you know, because it is a moving object, something is gonna give. So they already figured that one out, but that's a weapon that is much more intricate, not too sophisticated by comparison to some other guns. But still has issues that because of its volume, massive bottom of fire. Now these squad guns are supposed to do the same thing. So I think they're getting set up for a failure. I think they're setting us up. I think it's treason. I believe it's the same gobbledygook we've seen before. The same person who told you that he'd betray America to the communist Chinese in a heartbeat. is the person who helped make this happen. And is lighting his pocket. Yep, on top of that, yeah. Yep. So I have a quick question. I'd like to change the topic real quick. Looking at thermal rifle scopes, and I've kind of decided on the Thor LT, because I don't need anything huge or bulky or anything. What are your thoughts on that, on a 308? Oh, I should work without any problem. Actually, remember, Don had his mounted on a, well, actually put it on drag enough that we had up there, but he had his mounted on an M1A, the one that we used for filming and fire, and I'll tell you what, it functioned flawlessly. We didn't have any issues with anything coming apart. The only thing is, down the road you might want to change the color on it. I mean, depending on which model you get, they're either going to be in that gray green or no, it's kind of a green black. And then the other is it's in the like the Savannah tan slash coyote brown shade, depending on what you got, you know, where it was, you know, when it was put together. But otherwise, I wouldn't see any problem with that. An AR-15 will run forever. I don't think you're gonna bust it up in any 308 rifle you got and somehow you'll get have a longer recoil stroke than others So it's just a you know, it's a flavor choice I actually most all of the all of the Thors would work With the 308 round. There's not one that I think would fail you I'm just looking at the weight savings and Wondering about the reliability because I look at those night vids on Gun Parts Corp that you've mentioned a couple of days ago, the Russian ones, those suckers are over six pounds now. That's the weight of an AR-15. Yeah, by itself, and then you put the AR-15 on, now you got 12-14 pounds. Right? About the AR-15 on top of the scope. But I was looking at the Thor LT and it's very reasonable weight, very reasonable length. I don't want something gone from one end to the other, the rifle, and I just thought that would be good. I just curious about the quality of it, so you've answered that question. And I've got a night vision binocular, so I don't really, I would rather have thermal because it can see in anything fog or smoke or whatever where night vision gets kind of iffy in fog or smoke. But, you know, so, and another quick question, how is the Florida CD coming, by the way? They're finished, I just got to get it in hand. I've got to get it to me. There are actually two, yeah, two county ways. No, no, no, I did that, no. Actually, what I did today, I would probably even, if I had had the time, I made a connection on uniform pants today that was just unbelievable. And not only that, but we'll incorporate some Dicky combat pants brand new these are brand new I'm gonna buy them out but buy everything I got can't say where it is can't can say anything after I get them but I made a deal today with the corporate and We are going to have a lot of pants for the hardest thing to find anything decent in and I just made a I just by chance I stumbled across something I didn't know was going on and they had a great price. It's obviously want to move everything so I said hey, how about if I were to take all of them. And he said, oh, and well, I think we can, yeah, make a deal. And then he went back and made a few calls. He said, oh, yes, yes, you have a deal. So that is a donation item. Well, that's just it. We might. The thing is the the biggest problem is finding, well, of course, I don't care what whether they have four or six pockets. I'm looking for additional pants because we're just going to wear them out. And at least each person should at least have three sets of something to change into when the time comes. At least, and even there, you've got to be scrounging right away for clothes. Guys, cloth is outrageous. Prices have all gone up because the Chinese control the mills. What little is left in the US is expensive because of all the other costs that the government has burdened them with and additional taxes to try and help the communist Chinese to put our American mills out of business. And what I'm doing is I'm actually table scraping because I'm not really, this is not a brand new production run like we did with one of the companies what three years ago. I bought one company out, we did. We bought it, well I found it and it's like guys, I don't have that much at the moment for all of those, but we did several thousand sets. It was a company that had sets of uniforms. They were awarded, is what they are. And it was everything from extra small to extra large, so it covered all the size ranges. If I find something like that again, we'll do it. But right now we have to cherry pick. You gotta go here, gotta go there. Battle blouses and tops are everywhere. Battle blouses are cheap. You can go take a look. It almost be cheaper. You know, this sounds weird, guys. If you needed a pair of pants and you have somebody who could sew, right now it would be cheaper to buy the 3X shirts that are out there in 50-50 cotton polyester blend and have your seamstress. Put a pair of pants together for you that way with two or three shirts because I can get shirts for 253 dollars You know in bundles in quantity brand new and as I pointed out they've been in fact up to 5x 5 5x, you know That's a yard more of you know of cloth Think about how much space there is just on the back of a 5x uniform a blouse, okay It's cheaper for you to buy that shirt because it's the last ofs for three four dollars and buy everyone they had Then it would be free to go out and buy The uniform material on the bolt and you know, what's really cool. You know what I do cannibalize the pockets are already made and Use those to attach to the pants. No mark. I do you've got another dollar on there I'll let I'll let him on don't forget about that metal leave either So you take some of your salt and I'm gonna hop off. Thank you for reminding me of that too because that was just brought up by somebody last night and I Promised that I would get with them today. So we're gonna do that after the 9 o'clock. Okay. Thank you, sir. Wait. Yes, you're late. Thank you. Go ahead and jump in there, please Hey Marcus Todd there Orlando. I don't know if the other caller just called is still listening but He has brought up the 18 Thor and they do have a newer model out. It's a 640 resolution, 50 Hertz, 12 UM, which is very, very high quality. And they want for the 640 resolution, which is the highest, they want $3,999, which is a fair price. Let me say this though. Number one, This thing is 9.3 inches long and it's two pounds AGM makes one called the rattler call it a TS 35 It's the same quality 640 resolution and It's the same I see it on eBay for about $300 less But the main thing about it is is it's only six inches long and it's half the weight So that's a big deal. I mean if you're gonna put this on a you know, a bolt-action rifle, that's one thing. But if you wanted to get something to use as a lightweight monocular to look at everything around you and something to be small and have it be half the weight, the AGM Rattler TS 35 would hit the belt. And it comes with a QD, American Defense Manufacturing QD. mount whereas the ATN doesn't. I'll tell you something else about the ATN. Everybody says the same thing. If you have something wrong with your unit, it is atrocious customer service. And if you send it in, you might get your problem resolved in three months. And with what we've got coming down the pipe, to me, if I have a problem and I call customer service, I want a human to answer the phone. And that's not the way it is with ATN. So, go ahead. simply being consumed because of foreign, you know, allowed foreign intervention into the stock piles we had here in the US. And the other thing was, like you said, because they were trying to build so much, they were also anything they had that was being brought back in under a trade, under a warranty. They were not rebuilding your unit. They were giving you a brand new unit and taking the other unit back. And then what they were doing is troubleshooting it, taking it apart troubleshooting and then offering it as refurbished or rebuilt. Because they were so behind, or at least at one point they were quite a bit behind, especially with the thermal. And it's just a problem. The problem is keep up keeping up just like you're saying it's now catching up with all the rest of the country the availability of the supply chain and The other half is just there's only someone hours in the day to build what you got with what you got in the way of production You know if it's the society is what it comes down to go ahead jump in there, please Well, I was gonna say, you know, people are thinking about some kind of of something The site mark 4k Many is Available right now and they ran out of stock for like three months, but they're back on the shelf and You know who knows how long or how many they've got in stock at this point But that one is only $800 and yes, it's digital and we've had this conversation before that In an urban environment if shit hits the fan and you still have the lights on It's an excellent night vision device because it will, with just a little bit of ambient light, you can see pretty much everything around you. But then it comes with an IR light, which you can use for auxiliary light. But that's 800 bucks. Yeah, it's not thermal. Thermal's way better. But, you know. It comes at a price. Now, if people don't know this on thermal, there's different resolution settings. The worst resolution is 160, which is not bad. And you can get a 160 resolution unit for below $1,000 or right at. Then it moves up to 320 or 384. And then after that, you've got your 640. And a 640 resolution, you can tell what something is. at 1200 yards easily. Like the XP50, that thing, I've seen videos and it's like, is this a cow or a sheep or a coyote? With 640 resolution, you can see exactly what it is out to 1200 yards. So for observation purposes, You're gonna know exactly what it is if you spend the extra money for 640 but 384 is not bad out to like, you know, three four hundred yards and you can get a 384 resolution AGM Rattler for you know about about 20 22 $2,500 which is a fair price for thermal thermal is It's expensive, but it's worth it So, but keep in mind something about thermal. With thermal, you cannot see through glass, okay? And with thermal, you cannot see things like infrared light or infrared lasers, infrared designators or illuminators. You can't see that with thermal. It's a different type of device. Also, with thermal, you can use it during the day. Even if it's, you know, the sun is at high noon, you can still use the thermal and see things out to, you know, 600, 800 yards. It's not going to be as clear because you still have heat radiating off the ground and it does cause a kind of mirage which, you know, affects your field of view. You can't use night vision during the day, of course, and you wouldn't need to. But the thermal is very useful. It's just you know, people who want to get something put on a rifle, if they get night vision or if they get like a PBS-14, it's still necessary to have thermal because even if you have Gen 3 night vision, there's going to be things that thermal sees that your night vision won't see. So if you wanted to get the, you know, like if you had, say, a couple thousand dollars to spend, you can get a decent Gen 2 Plus analog night vision device and it would be good. But for a couple thousand dollars you could also get a Sike Mark 4K mini and spend another thousand dollars and get some kind of thermal device that you can see. You can look through the monocular and see what's going on. You see something. And then you've got the best of both worlds. They may not be the best resolution, but you still have two different types of devices in your loadout. One of the things to remember is, that's okay, I'm still here. One of the other things that you want to consider, guys, is also, again, amongst a team, if you have a 10-man squad, each fire team should have at least one thermal in the unit, and the rest could all be conventional night vision or conventional optics, depending on day or night. The big thing is, as you can upgrade or improve or increase the number of technical pieces of equipment, obviously you can enhance points of the compass control with less time lost. Remember, the basic four quadrants, that's how you should be thinking. More bodies, you can do a better job. With two devices, each person covers a crescent, an area of control that's designated. or to their front, obviously, to move with and protect the motion of the fire team, each fire team having one thermal device. Everybody else running with conventional green screen or whatever for night operations, you overlap, which is really not a bad thing. Another thing, too, don't forget is with the thermal. As you pointed out with glass, it's not just glass. There's a lot of other ways to deceive thermal that pretty well have been perfected and the system doesn't want to talk much about because they prefer everybody stay, you know, in the condition they're in. It makes the tools more useful. So this is where basically mylar, uh, shram material and other equipment. I noticed there's been a bunch of videos and I'm going to tell you something. I wouldn't normally say this. There's a bunch of videos on YouTube don't trust where they claim, I put a thermal blanket under a pod show and it doesn't do any good and it's all if you'll notice they did real crude crappy. In other words, to try to make it like your Beauford and you don't have a clue how to be refined or how to build anything. And they're just sliding it on and you're like they're acting like you're stupid. The fact of the matter is that the government uses this technology. It's again why government bought so much and has used mylar in so many different scientific and military projects, okay? What they don't want you to know about is how to layer and how to again distribute using both cover and concealment as you normally would in a battlefield situation. Guys, you're not supposed to be in the middle of the stinking field. Do you all understand that? You know, I'd have to walk out and beat a little snot out of some fool who's stupid enough to expose themselves like that to create a bullet magnet for the rest of us. Does everybody understand that? You know, whenever you see a lot of the junk that's done, it is not, well, let's put it this way. Remember they say, well, you're going to, you know, know the science. Well, okay, then let's study the science here. And let's do it a little more realistically. The fact is that any reduction in your signature, both for night vision and for thermal specifically, is a high priority, not just because me with a scope across the battlefield. But I will remind you again of something that bragged up for years is the eyes in the sky That's really where the thermal issue should be our preponderance of defense should be thinking in that way Okay, which they don't want they want you to believe it's people resist you can't you know, you'll be absorbed and there's nothing you can do it all bullshit That's all I that is seriously though. I've already described many times the different techniques that can be used. Right now I'm saving every piece of mylar I can get. What? Yeah, food wrappers. I'm grabbing all of the, how much mylar you get of different grades that you probably throw away in a day. Doesn't cost you anything to store it. I mean, it's mylar, okay? But if you're going to do scale or if you're going to do, you know, shramming, What you want to do is you need those little pieces and you're going to modify them even more. We're going to demonstrate this. Chafe did this with radar. Think about how Chafe worked with radar. Does everybody know what Chafe was? Guys, do you remember what Chafe was that was used just against radar? What is Chafe? And by the way, it's to you. Yeah, basically, or in back of the day, here's what's really cool. It was aluminum confetti or well, actually aluminum streamers. They made it in several different configurations. What was its purpose? When major formations of aircraft were in motion, the idea behind the chafe was to literally deflect the energy of the ping of the radars. And it works the same with visible light and any other forms of light when it comes to shramming an image. We got another caller. I keep hearing a voice there. What do we have? This time I want to let you know that Gungeon Gadget, the latest warning is ATF makes two use areas in your rule. That was done 15 minutes ago, it's 8 minutes, 2 seconds off. And then the other one is Florida, I'm still so scared. But pulling it up and what you can do to DOA, that was done 9 hours ago. And then yesterday, well that's 21 hours ago, Madison, Caulk, Call from problem of this one. Yes, a text by the again. I caught that one. I mean, uh, no, go ahead. Good fighting new HDS. Now I think it's big and doors that was done one day. And so the doors of the latest for on judging the ad will do ads right there. The one that I think we will play is the most recent one. It's eight minutes long. I have enough time to fit it in for this hour and I know we're on a subject but Let's go ahead and throw that in here because that'll tag it and get it in the first hour cycle.

Welcome back to the channel, I appreciate your time, thank you for watching. Yesterday, the ATF's new rules on the frame and receiver definition, the ghost gun rule for Joe Biden that was rushed and even led to the acting ATF director being demoted. I was officially published yesterday in the Federal Register. Now, if you are a member of the channel, you hear regularly, you might have noticed that I put out the rule when it was a draft, when it first came out, I was actually doing a live stream, made a post the next day that I was still going through it, and then I kind of went dark on it. And there's a reason why I didn't say anything else about this new, well, at the time, the draft, now the new rule. Because it was filled with errors. A lot of gray area, but there are two specific things that I want to bring to your attention that the ATF handed us a win and they don't even know it in two areas and the reason I didn't say anything was because it was still a draft and it could be addressed while it's in the draft stage. It can fix errors before it goes to publish. Now that it's published in the register, this is it, right? This is their rule and the new rule takes effect August 24th, 2022. So now we have Everything's etched in stone in the Federal Register. And again, there are two big problems. A third is a lot of gray area. But the first one you're starting to see people talk about now. And that is the fact that I'm going to put it on screen here. Under the executive summary in section A where it says summary of the regulatory action, we're going to go to the third paragraph. And I quote. In the past few years, some courts have treated the regulatory definition of firearm frame or receiver as inflexible when applied to the lower portion of the AR-15 type rifle, one of the most popular firearms in the United States. Thank you, ATF. Thank you for saying that and putting it in writing and in black and white. Why? Well, you remember the Heller decision. The Heller decision says, Justice Scalia said that A firearm that is in common use by us is protected by the Second Amendment. The ATF just said the AR-15 is one of the most popular firearms in the country. Thus, it's in common use, right? Protected by the Second Amendment. That's unconstitutional. It's as easy as that. Thank you, ATF. Thank you for rushing this rule. Thank you to Joe Biden for having them rush this rule. And not heeding the caution that they were being told, we can't rush this. We gotta make sure we cross our T's and dot our I's. Biden didn't wanna have to wait. forced it and it's fraught with errors. That's the first one. Thank you. AR-15, the most popular firearm, one of the most popular firearms in America, thus protected by Heller. As my friend Hannah Baron would say, appreciate y'all. Thank you ATF. Way to go. The second one, I talked about this with Rob Olson, who is a GOA attorney, when the rule came out, the night that it came out. And this one was great too. Why? Because this one directly affects the new coming rule in August about pistol braces. Yes, it does and it's fantastic. I did a video last June, it's floating above, I'll try to remember to link it down below as well, about ATF's new form that they created for pistol stabilizing braces, Form 4999. And I talk about how it's a setup, it was a trap. because according to their worksheet on scoring all kinds of things about your pistol stabilized firearm, you know firearm with a stabilizing brace that there was no way you could pass this because there were all kinds of gimmes and attaboys and gray area where they were going to use a point system. Remember that they want to use a point system. We're going to go right back to this new rule. Now to see this great work of art, we're going to go to the department's response. And this has to do with comments that were made by people. And this, they say right here, look, the department, ATF, also disagrees with the point system recommended by one commenter because it does not explain how the point value is reached. and why fire control components in other portions of the assembled weapon were not assigned any points. It would not address firearms that do not house all Fire Control Group components with a single housing, or which have a remote trigger outside of the weapon. In sum, this alternative would fall short of addressing all technologies or designs of firearms that are currently available, or may become available in the future, does not address potential changes in firearm terminology. So they don't like point systems there, but they want it to institute their own point system, which... is a whole big jumble of vagueness that they want to use to make you and I felons for possessing something that is totally legal and has been for a long time. Hmm. Thank you ATF for saying that a point system is not a good option because that's exactly what you're going to roll out in August with the new rule for pistol stabilizing braces. So thank you ATF for Admitting that the AR-15 is one of the most popular guns in America and thus it's in common use and protected by Heller well protected by the Second Amendment and Supreme Court law under the Heller decision Thank you for that win and thank you for undermining your next rule by saying a point system isn't valid Because it's vague. That's that's that's thank you. Thank you very much. That's awesome and then if you read this or other areas that weren't fully addressed and that's It's looking good. Thank you. Let me know what you all think about this. Have you read the rule? Are you going to read the rule? And what do you think about the two major slip-ups in this rule by the ATF? Couldn't happen to a better group. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your time. I appreciate each and every single one of you.

You can also help the word get out by hitting the like button and sharing it with like-minded folks because the attack on the Second Amendment is real. It's never ending and we all need to be in the same boat so we can all fight back. Guys and gals, to each other again, be safe, stay vigilant, carry a gun to keep you, your friends, your family, your community safe. I'll see you on the next one. Take care. Okay, if you went back to Twitter, post it over there. Let's see how it goes. It should be fine, right? I mean, after all, it's just a video that's already posted on YouTube. Shouldn't be problem putting it on Twitter now. In fact, everything and anything in the way of information and database like that needs to be slid sideways over to Twitter. We need to expand the database. We're not worried about whether we're having any conversation. We're just gonna get done. Go ahead, call the gym in there, please. Hey Marcus, John from Kentucky. How you doing? Very good. How are things there? Great. Hey, back to your bi-metal cases. A company named El Tech made a 9mm bi-metal case. Yes, they did. It's aluminum back end and a steel tube. Matter of fact, the ammunition was available. I remember I mentioned this AIMSurplus.com. AIMSurplus.com. They actually had that 9mm in stock. I don't believe that would be a problem because again, what you're doing is you're taking a straight case, number one, most important, and it's not an over pressured round. It's a NATO standard 9mm. So there's nothing unique about it. What they're doing, my biggest problem with this, A, they're putting it in a a weapon that is going to be under extreme stress by the nature of the fact that they want it to be a full auto, now a full select fire weapon, and it's going to be used in the, in fact the big brag, it is supposed to really be built so it can especially be used both in the standard rifle, but especially in the squad gun. And the squad gun is the select fire suppression fire gun. So where they've brought in and they've increased and gone beyond normal cup pressures for a cartridge of its size. To try and compensate for a short barrel but still end up with full rifle barrel performance. What gets me about that and you know think about it is why not just go two inches more with the barrel and get the weapon to perform. For two more inches you get a whole lot more performance out of the cartridge We've already learned that a long time ago in fact for all of the argument that we you get the same accuracy with a 16 inch barrel AR that you do with a 20 no no you don't that you have specific spread and drop off the farther out you get and because you didn't have that extra four inches you lost energy when it left the muzzle. Now within the what are the military parameters for engagement 220 yards everybody can hit with that with every gun you got I don't care what it is 20 inch 10 inch everybody can reach that 220 yard mark and kind of pattern where they need to. So, the big thing about this is that the Germans played extensively with this. If they could have, they would have. You know what I mean? Because the Germans are the first ones to acknowledge that if we went into another war, in fact, they went into another war. In World War I, when they fought World War I, they started out with brass cases. Within a year, they were over to steel because they have good steel production, but they have a big problem with all of the lesser but high metals to make either brass or whatever. and copper being a priority in any war. When they got into World War II, they already had steel case production ready to go. And when they got into World War II by 1940, 41, end of 40, early 1941, steel case was already back into production, not just with pistols, but also with all the rifles, which Germans also did with their 8mm World War I. Well, because of this, they started to look at the idea that they needed something that could hopefully be across because they felt that they could probably maintain wartime production with a limited amount of brass, but still steel as the core component. Every test that they did, they have the same problems we're talking about. Now, some of the problems can also include, and think about this, case rupture but not failure. What I mean, that is a failure. But my problem is gonna be case failure because of extraction and separation. When that happens, you're gonna end up with a tube stuck in the chamber. That tube probably will have even extracted to a degree away from the chamber throat. And because of that, when the next round comes in, it's gonna get jammed forward, slammed real hard, and by God, if you couldn't wedge it in better, I don't know how. You see, but here's the other thing that could happen, is a crescent failure on the brass, not the steel. The steel is resilient enough that it'll handle any energy that's there, so what's gonna happen? Gases and water and electricity follow the path of least resistance. And so what would happen if you've ever seen a case blowout from overpressure as extraction takes place, you'll have these crescent moon cuts that blow out the base of the case. What would happen instead of it being at the base of the case where the steel is, it would be where the bonding point is and it will be a crescent blowout, which means any available energy that's still in the barrel as the bullets traveling is going to blow back into the operator's face. It's going to blow back into the operator's area of activity. And that's most likely. I think that's what's going to be as common as any case, total case failure, except with the automatic weapons where total case failure will become a consistent issue very quickly. In semi-auto fire or pistol fire like we're talking about, well, I guess they should have a submachine gun. You're not going to enough energy, you know, downrange, you know, to build up, you're not going to shoot it enough to build up enough heat to create issues with case softening, which is one of the problems. Yeah, but I agree. No, no, you're absolutely right. In fact, I think it was a cool idea in the nine millimeter. It was something that everybody's talked about. I know that they've done it. I'd be willing to bet the Germans if it was the Turks built those, I'd be willing to bet they got the thing from the Germans. the idea, the project. You know, this company, L-Tech, is located in Kentucky. Oh, very good. Well, gee. And I know where it is, and I know where, I know some people that work there. Well, what do you want to bet? Ask them to say, ask them if. You know what? If they've already got experience in this. Has the government looked at in-country contracting of munitions because they're already into the project, so I mean the idea of how to do it. You mean in the in the rifle caliber? Yeah. Okay, I'll ask you. Just give about that because it would, well of course, you know, here's the thing. I'm thinking as a common-sense American taxpayer, we're talking about the pentagram for their first rule is pissed on America. So the piss out America types would not be looking for an American manufacturer to begin with. Yeah, they got they got sick gave them a big brown envelope. I think SIG's the only one who could truly do this right. Can you imagine the bullshit with the with the military personnel coming up in front of Congress? Yeah, I know that we should be buying American, but you know, yeah. Anyway guys, we're at the top. We got to take a break here for a minute. We... Okay, thank you sir. No, thank you for bringing it up because that is true. Okay. And again, anybody shoot it, I'd also like to see some of the cases. We're gonna go to break though, God. He took off his three cornered hat and speaking low to me he said, we fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations this legacy we gave. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone. Your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught. According to the state, you read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay 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 trade it 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 born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he 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 tyrants trample each God given right we only watch in 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? Second hour of the afternoon intelligence report, I'm R. Kurnkey. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters. Both on and behind the lines in occupied territories. Southwest, East, Northeast, and South. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on... www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org, and we are on a myriad of communications technologies both inside and outside these United States. It is It is the 27th of April. It is the 14th year of open obvious and dissing in your face Fabian, socialist and Soviet socialist. Occupation of America with a K 2022 old earth calendar. Give it all she's got, Captain. And 2022 battle for the Republic, the dance of swords. Real quick, over if you have an Ollie's, O-L-L-I-E-S, Ollie's, it's a Distress, yeah, it's a Distress merchandise store out there, okay? I bought every last one that they had at the store that I found them at, but this is interesting because this camouflage is one I like. It's a dirty, it's the dirty oil camo. This is one of the ways to describe it. In this case, it's a green shade. This is a Gorilla Grip. Write this down and go look for these because these things were put out there as one of those face mask solutions to keep an alternate to a face bra to keep the germs from getting away and collecting in front of you and your face and building up and becoming mold. But anyway, these are a Gorilla Grip 6-in-1 face mask. It's a balaclava. Just a tube balaclava is all it is. It's in a very lightweight, stretchable material typical for these face masks you've been seeing. This particular, these are over at Ollie's. They have been for 99 cents apiece. You can't beat this. Well, the first thing I looked at and thought is, wait a minute, depending how much material's there, that's an awfully nice helmet cover. If you wanted to just cut it down the line, if you want to make a square of material that you then could format your helmet cover for, you know, use it as the material for your helmet cover, this is a really good camouflage pattern. It's detailed enough that it creates proper disruption at close range, and it is foggy at greater range because of the light-dark contrast. You probably have seen it in what we call the, it's a coyote brown range of dirty cloths. Originally the way they actually made this stuff, guys over in Afghanistan, the guys took regular coyote brown, smudged oil onto the cloth, rolled it into the local silt. And what you got were denser areas where the oil stuck and the camouflage worked exceptionally well. This is how we used to make camo, by the way. We didn't, you know, because, and again, the system has been horrible for maintaining, you know, supply to the troops. Troops get pissed out always. There's nothing new. There's always some hack slash kosher mafia piece of trash, stealing your money out the back door along with the gear that they were supposed to get to the troops. It always happens. And in this case, everybody typically we've had to improvise, adapt and overcome. So that's exactly what happened. Now what happened though is somebody looked at that thought, man, that'd be a good camouflage if we just make it. And somebody did. So it's veil camo, B E I L, veil camera, veil camo, that's the pattern and it is copyrighted, it's trademarked, et cetera, et cetera. But in reality, the pattern is decent. It's 99 cents worth of material, but it is a balaclava, you know, a simple face mask design. You can put it over your head, you can use it as a neck gator, you can do all the fun things they tell you to do a section one. Basically though, at the very least, it's a quick way with a good pattern to cover all that either flesh tone or medium brown skin or dark skin you got, which is almost always shiny. I don't care what color you are, you reflect light. And we are oriented to pray, friend foe, predator pray. You don't realize how it is people pick you out. It has to do mostly with your subconscious mind doing a better job than your conscious mind to try to keep you alive. Okay, it's that simple. So again, this is a quick camo solution. It is a decent pattern. They didn't have any of the color, but the green range, but this is a green and extreme light green, a black. This service is provided in high definition by free conference call hd.com. There are 14 participants in the conference. The recording has started. Please announce yourself. There's only a couple of sci-fi books that actually address that. Okay, if you have World War III and you really go into a real bad nuclear exchange, nobody's making any more food for a while, unless they're thinking ahead, which we are, most people aren't, which means everybody will be trying to kill you for what you got. But clothing, just simple clothing. You see all these movies and they're all wearing all these really cool duds and everything, it's where those come from. Any any any lamb, any wool laying around anybody planting a cotton this week? Yeah, you can produce polyester, but you got to have oil for that. What's going on with your pumping stations? How's your how's your oil field running with the radiation field? You know the fallout dropping into the area where the guys were going to work. Yeah, see nobody talks about that. So again, prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance. It's kind of like, well, I'm not gonna worry about what happens to the farmers cuz I buy all my food and cans. That's my favorite story from a dad when he was a kid when the depression hit with the lady talking about to the grocer about, well, I'm not worried about what happens to the farmers because I buy all my food and cans. Yeah. So anyway, this is really cool for what it is. It's an Oles. You may find it with some of the other distress stores. I did not check Big Lot. Now I would ask, guys, it's a Gorilla Grip. It's a shield skin from the sun and wind. Comfort stretch fabric wicks moisture, washable, 100% polyester. And again, a quick solution, but it eliminates, gets that face covered up. Now we know about plastics and other technologies. So remember that everything there is an advantage sometimes not so much of an advantage with other technologies. But first and foremost is get yourself out of the away from the eyeballs. Get out of the notice by the common human eyeball. After that everything else well that's icing on the cake. Do better with better technology as you acquire it. Anyway it's over at Ollie's. They're 99 cents a piece. They may get more, but I doubt it because this is all stuff they purchased for the Corona Beer Virus scam. And what's left is probably what's left. They're not gonna take and spend more of their capital on a dying interest. That religiosity is gone, okay? Because of that, these things will be back up to regular price as a hunting or tactical item. So, by the way, check Walmart, might find them there too. And again, that is Gorilla Grip and it's Vail Camouflage. It is a 6-in-1 face mask and it's nothing but it's just tubular. It's a tubular bollock lava type cover is what it is. Just doesn't have the pullover on the head part. But you know, there's an interesting, if you pick up two of these, ah, on that note. If you'll notice to make most of these more recent balaclava type patterns, everybody loves a ninja type, those are actually two pieces. You do know that, right? You have the head wrap, and then what you do is you bring the tube up, and that brings it up to where just below the eyes and covers the bridge of the nose. And then all you've got is a little face-lit front, and that's it. Everything else is covered with a camo. So two of these for 99 cents take care of everything you need to do. Now one will work, but two would be better if you want to look cool. Don't look ninja cool, okay? I'm not worried about looking ninja cool, but I'm worried about, or try to make sure that I do everything I can to look more like the background behind me rather than stand out like the orange sticker in front of me. Oh, that is one more thing. Sadly enough. There's a little orange sticker at the bottom that's printed on. It says, you will want to take a black Sharpie and take the orange that's there. It's about four fingers wide. finger and a half tall and it's the gorilla grip symbol with a gorilla head. Yeah, we want to make that disappear. But I'm not worried about that. I think you would figure that out. I don't think I'd have to tell you. And the Sharpies are a miracle tool. They're machine washable and don't come out. But do some brown, do some green, mix it up. Make the orange disappear. It's a little bit, it's a very small amount. You can even leave it as this and you just tuck that down into the shirt where it belongs and you'd be fine. So anyway, again, try to help you come up with solutions that are budget friendly rather than, you know, crazy town. Also, let's see, on that note, I mentioned AIMSurplus.com. I will remind you, AIMSurplus does have SKS parts. I had one of our friends send me a message from Nebraska. Hold on here, Nebraska. Yep, Nebraska. And again, I don't know what they have left. They don't have much, but over at AIM surplus, they have as cast parts. They're not the only people I would still check and go through ApexGunParts.com, Sarco, and GunPartsCorp.com. Those guys all have as cast parts. But in addition to that, I know a place that most people won't look is AIM Surplus. and then punch in as a search SKS parts and a whole listing pops up there. So you might find what you need. And again, depending on what rifle you got, more than you expected. Okay, so that's one thing. And also AIM does have a number of different preview partisan PPU loads. They do not have any 30 out six that I know of, but double check because They have been bringing preview partisan 30-06 in on a regular basis. So if you're listening and you're one of those people trying to find 30-06 and not spend an arm and a leg, go to AIM surplus and constantly check there to see what pops up in the inventory. Eventually what you want will be there, provided they keep doing what they've been doing. Go ahead, color. The cheapest full metal jacket, 30-06 Springfield ammo I found. I'll mention the name. We don't like them, but we'll mention them anyway. Cheaper than dirt. $1.50 around. So it's $29.89 a box. I think that's the cheapest formula. Like I said, that's not $5 around because that's what, you know, do the math guys. $2.53, $4 around. When you're looking at $50, $60 a box, you're looking at a big chunk of change for something that shouldn't cost that much, but it can. If it's If they built a custom and it's a match or big game load, I understand why the price is where it is. They're charging what's expected. It's silly or below. Silly billet? Yeah. Okay, well that's good ammo. 150 grand, it's silly billet. The big thing about the S&B ammo is they're rebuilding for the Beretta Grants. Everybody understand that? So they know what they're doing. They actually do know how to build. I mean, it's not like they were doing a crappy out six load. They were actually, I'm sure that Italy still has some. I mean, everybody always, nobody ever sells everything, whatever they've had. And the poorer countries like Europe, they don't dump everything no matter how hard they try. So again, at least that's a good quality product to begin with. I don't have any problem. Siller below ammunition anything I got wouldn't think I have women would I have I mean we've been shooting that nation back with nobody knew what the hell it was Where'd that come from? Oh a strange exotic land called Europe Silly billet and by the way, they do some in South America though, too. Just as a heads up I don't know if they do 30 out six there, but they may See what else and on the out six and all ammunition in fact Here's a solution on trash day watch for people getting rid of the big mouth like three gallon Kitty litter buckets the Kitty litter jugs Those are cream milk plastic. They have a big mouth lid They you can put hot six any car rifle cartridge in there when you want to get them out You don't have to cut the container. You can turn it over and dump stuff out That is the cheapest, fastest way for you to put an empty brass container together. All you're worried about right now if you don't reload is save everything anybody is stupid enough to leave behind. Does everybody understand what I just said? If you go to a range and somebody leaves 22, grab it. We're at the point where people are starting to acknowledge that availability is shrinking in several areas. It has several times, but right now, It's been a very quiet wave. And there's no discussion because people are kind of open. Well, nobody realizes and I'll get mine and we don't want everybody to panic. Well, it's not so much panic because I'd rather have the shelves clear that have all the ammunition sitting on the shelf and everybody feeling warm and fuzzy. And then the feds coming in and shutting the doors. If they've only got so many hundred FFLs, thousands or thousands, actually, it's not hundreds, thousands of FFLs to lock up. That's a lot easier trying to go door to door or out to, you know, your house. Step one is they go to the FFL dealers and they shut their doors and they put guns to their head and tell them let's see the papers and you know they want to see the forms and they want to see all the information on customers. It's that simple. So and by the way nothing will be getting off the shelves. The ammunition will be gone, the guns will be gone and the owners of the FFLs will be gone. Well unless they're real suck-ups and even then they won't live for long because the system won't doesn't want them. They don't need them. All the fools who think they can make a deal are making a deal with the devil who lies. But the stupid people will do that. So just be ready. I'll be ready for it. Don't be surprised. Just it's expected. It's the nature of the nimwit. Anyway, the big thing here is again, these containers are perfect. You can even separate them. The one cool thing, if you got a lot of shotgun shell casings. You can even store those kitty litter, those big kitty litter jugs are perfect for doing the same thing with shotgun shells. If you can, I put a big black magic marker, put 9mm and put nothing but 9mm cases in that one. And then put like 7-9-0-9-2 if you're doing Mauser or 12 gauge or shotgun in general, and then you can sort it out later. It'll all be used. But the big thing is save it if it's you go out there in the range and it's not gotten wet Especially you guys collect everything that's there 22 cases get all put off to the side We'll either a reload them as 22 cases though, maybe maybe not but we will use the brass either for melting or We will use the 22 caliber cases to make 55 grain two two three rifle jackets Which has been a very successful project. It's just something we haven't talked about as much and it is a great way to again put a utility flat service round together that minimize is minimized in cost Okay, we can use we can use recovered lead from the ranges Then recast that use that to create the weight inside the swaged 22 to 22 caliber Empire case and approximate with a combination of a trimmer and a swage the standard 55 grain spitzer 556 round. Not difficult at all and it can all be done with a 22 caliber case as the foundation for that as the jacket and they work okay. Remember prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance. Another thing is powder if you were to if it's weapons parts Things you can put away that are worth gold right now. 80% receivers, if you're not gonna build them, at least grab them. If you can find them, number one. Number two, barrels, I have mentioned this a million times. AR-15 barrels, AR-10 barrels, any barrels, but AR barrels especially, we're going to need more. Yeah, you're going to eventually if you're if you're you know live long enough and you should if you really you know work at it You may have to shoot out a barrel and want to change out and tighten a gun up But I would invest in Bear Creek Arsenal barrels Cheapest for the mostest whenever they put something on sale go take advantage of it That is a but it's money well invested ammunition. Don't be a Ukrainian The Ukrainians before this bullshit war started that the Ukrainians helped instigate They all we were dog. We're but not shut up. We all know what actually happened because the Ukrainians aren't running their government Foreigners are running the Ukrainian government the Ukrainian government's poor and they've been used as a ghost or a shill For all kinds of other scurrilous and wicked activity behind the scenes a lot of their country liked it So I really think is rather fascinating, considering it's supposed to be a 98% population. The population is Christian Orthodox and the difference is either Muslim or the smaller group are Jewish and the Jewish operation is 100% of the government. So they were confiscating guns, confiscating ammo and putting gun owners in jail, in prison. Under the UN Small Arms Treaty Agreement, they were trying to meet. and under the NATO de-escalation of arms slash confiscation of arms policy that they have. Don't be a Ukrainian. Buy more ammo, buy more mags, make sure that you've got everything you need to keep your weapons running for the longest period of time. That includes spare parts, firing print extractor and injector, and be ready for what it is that's gonna come. It's not an it's just a when. Let's understand something about the bat faggots their lie and they will continue to lie and they've always lied It's not something new. Oh just at this last 10 20 year all BS You know what really gets you tired? I know a lot of people why they don't even say anything because they're tired of this this record replay over and over again And then people go oh look this is totally new and we've discovered it's like oh no no you're wrong They've done this always. In fact, they build up and they build a propaganda, they lie through their teeth. And then they're told, they're coached on how to lie. Remember how they said, they got these rules and the rules are not telling anybody about? That's part of their lying process, people, and they've always done that. And they know that, well, I think what he has there is illegal. I think, I think. Well, is it? I think. Well, I'm in theory. We're gonna charge him and we'll figure it out later. Oh, by the way, it was totally fictitious. It was totally wrong. It was a fabrication or a construction on the part of the bat faggot. But they went ahead anyway. Why? Because the horrors that are the prostitutes are working hand in glove with their pirate mercenaries that they hire and put into fed uniform. And those are pirate mercenaries. Okay, long as you understand that under the War Powers Act, you're doing fine. But the most common mistake is thinking in any way, shape, or form these are legitimate operations and they're not. In no way, shape, or form have any legitimacy except in the eyes of a foreign alien court operating for the purpose of occupying and destroying the liberty of the United States, of these United States. That's their purpose in life, period. Anyway, couple of the things here real quick. In the 6.8 government cartridge, We need to be looking at building a solid brass counter projectile, ideally for penetration purposes, something to experiment with. But there was a discussion about that. In fact, I got into a little thing, two nights ago, in fact, you guys, some of you are probably involved in it. We had a quick discussion via the entire net. And we're going back and forth on the whole idea of best choice of materials. One of the things that we could do, is a artillery type, a machined rifle projectile. Now what I mean by artillery type is a series of layered baffles, basically if you look there from the side it looked like the thing had a sine wave on both sides, they have to be consistent because it's gonna be a cylindrical band. Now this is done to reduce friction and adhesion contact to the side of the rif- to the rifling but also to the side of the barrel internal obviously surface of the barrel. What this does is it still enhances and again allows for the full benefit of the rifles lands and grooves to do their job. But the other advantage is again the bullet for the bullet to break free cleanly and in a more consistent fashion when it gets to the muzzle crown of the barrel. Now, if you're going to be machining penetrator rounds to begin with, then doing this would not be a big deal. And basically what happens is these particular equivalent like a series of machine gas checks, what happens is that these would only be below the cantalourer line. Remember on each of your bullets, if it's mill or civilian spec, you have a cantalourer line, which is basically where the edge of your case should rest when you're loading, if it's a brand new load or reloading. Now the cantalourer, typically on most of the cases you will see, forgive me, the cantalourer trough that you will see on a projectile typically also is serrated. You may notice this, go look at some of the bullets you have. Now it can be smooth or it can be serrated. If it's serrated, the purpose behind that was to actually identify type of projectile within the family of manufacturers, you know, the family of manufacturing, the company itself. There are advantages because it creates a surface or a corrugated surface grip area, but if it's smooth, it was designed to allow you to identify a specialized projectile. Traditionally with military configuration. Go ahead call her chip in there. I know it's a little past the bombing. The bomb on the other side is a huge revolution by poker safety. Calling for a revolution. Okay, I'll tell you what, we can do that. It is bottom. We are at the bottom of the air. Although, well, Ed's probably ready. I'll tell you what, we'll play in a minute. But first Ed probably got his finger on the trigger. It is Weapons Wednesday. Let's play our traditional bottom of the hour Weapons Wednesday break. Hey! A combination. This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. It's useless. Without my rifle, I'm useless. I feel true. Me who is trying to kill me. Before he shoots me Before God my right country We are the man, we are the... You may ride a good late speed, you may know a stern a master You forward march with speed, but you'll learn to back much faster When you meet our mountain boys, and they'll lead our journey start Glad you make up little noise and always hit the mark Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands we'll prove no trifle Maggie no graves at home, back across the briny water And Giddy must come, like bullets to the slaughter But if we the job must do, then the sooner it is begun If Lyndon's figure hold the buck through, the quicker it will be done Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands we'll prove no true rifle Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands we'll prove no true rifle And we are back. And for everybody out there, it is Weapons Wednesday. We are, of course, 25 minutes from the top of the hour. Got a little time? Well, yeah, we got enough time. We'll probably play another music piece here in a moment. In the meanwhile, real quick, it's Weapons Wednesday. Are you carrying a sharp pointy object in your pocket right now? I've mentioned this many times, but the country has been castrated and lobotomized by the police state mindset of homeland security and all the rest of the wretched turds that have no business being in our country right now and serve no purpose but self-aggrandizing a bureaucracy that hates the American people and would wish to kill most of us so that they can join the globalist, you know, utopian society, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, which is why we're going to have to get rid of their ass. But, one of the things that they've done, conditioned you to, and I'm holding in my hand here, a pen knife that is probably maybe another, oh, I think it's about another decade older than I am. It has three blades. Some of the pen knives have two, some only have one actually, but two typically. You have a small manicure slash cleaning blade or utility blade, and you also have a larger cutting blade, which is typically a drop point or a little Bowie type configuration. It varies. In this case, this is a Booker, US made. pen knife and pen knives exactly originally were everybody carried a pen knife. The keyword with pen knife that larger blade is designed for actually cutting, taking a quill pen and you know cutting a pen knife, right? See, that's how does it make sense? Anyway, it was a utility knife that was automatically assumed everybody's going to carry but because of the swine, the pigs, the yootie trash, the filth and the excrement. If you go anywhere, they're trying everything they can to disarm you to make sure that you are a disarmed peasant. And of course, they know you're not a gangbanger or anything like that. They don't care. As a taxpayer, you're a pushover for the cops, for the police state mindset. So you're evil, bad, and terrible for having everything. And of course, they're important, you're not. There's one city's been, you go home safe. You're the one that's supposed to be the write up for the corpse casualty of the day. That's just how they, again, it's the nature of that low end royalty mindset. But the pocket knife of this type, you should all be carrying one of, at least. I carry sometimes two, it depends. Like today, I've got, I think, two, and I'm carrying another blade on top of that. But these are a small utility, just tool blade. A Swiss Army knife would be in that category. And why aren't you carrying one? Another thing that I will point out, are you carrying a source of fire? in your pocket matches, you have a lighter, maybe a Zippo, are you carrying one? Well, I don't smoke, well, that's not relevant. Okay, the idea is fire is one of those things that, especially the civilized man, advanced man, okay, today, well, advanced man is basically a weenie boy wearing purple hair, Trotsky glasses, and pisses their pants at the moment of the instant they see a folded pocket knife. Oh my God, and they wet their pants, and they probably poop themselves too. For all of you out there, you get used to the idea of carrying an edge weapon constantly. Any blade will do to provide you with some form of support. I mean granted, I don't want to go out somebody with a one and a half inch blade, but it would be better than nothing if I had it out and I would have it so I could employ it to the best of my ability if I looked on a threat that was somewhere nearby. But as much as anything, it's also get you into the martial spirit and to remind you that you're a man, you have rights, you're a woman, you have rights. We are Americans, we have rights, and personal defense, but also just living every day. We have rights. And this is part of our heritage and part of our, in fact, in the past, you wouldn't have gotten away with the stuff that you get away with, the idiot pigs that we have right now, the U.D. trash we have, you know, like at the airports. Oh my God, you've got a pen that you need to throw over here in the box. We could charge you. You know, you just want to take a stick and just beat the living snot out of a cur like that. But that little jackass has gotten away with so much because everybody's become so paddy waste that it just gets worse day by day. You know, what really makes me sick is you could actually go to the auction sites. I was just looking at one of the sent to me the other day and it's like it's like nine five gallon containers. of stuff confiscated from my homeland security slash the TSA at the airports. For one airport, and now it's only for so many days. And it's all these little pocket knives and nail clippers and any stupid thing you can imagine. But it's nine five gallon pails. Now, that's disgusting to me because what it is is people are allowing themselves, this little minority of quadriplegic homosexual Eskimos with pedophilic tendencies. whether they're spiffy little uniform KGB uniforms to steal how much property from people and then they turn right around and they sell it. The rotten piece of filth that government turns around and sells it. Well, Bill, no, they should never have taken it in the first place. You know what gets me about this? You know, the after about the box cutters with 9-11, which is a crock, guys. They sold everything at the airport terminals. When you were at the, if you were standing around in the gantry areas like in Detroit or St. Louis or whatever, they used to have, I don't remember the psychedelic green and psychedelic orange, you know, the safety green, now they call them safety green, safety orange, used to be the psychedelic green, psychedelic orange, you know, translucent blue, and there were all these different little folding knives. You can buy them, and they're in rack. right there. They weren't in blisters even. They were just in the usual racks like you see at a five and dime ripoff in like a 7-11, you know, a Slurpee store. And nobody thought twice about it. You can buy Swiss Army knives in the blisters as a take-home gift to take to the kids or, you know, because, oh, God, I forgot. And it was sitting right there amongst everything, dozen other things that nobody cared about. But once you got the anal retentive control freak soccer mom bullshit going with regard to these ass hats and these control freaks and power turns that we have now Well, all of a sudden it just we're doomed if we have the ability to protect ourselves Don't you or for that matter just to know sharpen a pencil or clean your fingernails, which is what really, I said the one blade on like these pen knives is personal maintenance. That's what it's for, to clean your fingernails. Would it cry? Did you clean your fingernails? Oh God, I didn't do that. Go scrub your fingernails. Or you were supposed to take that little pen knife and do real quick, you know, finger maintenance and get rid of all that gunk and junk because you're out back working or in the garage working or you just came home from school and you're piddling around with something in the meantime. Before you came to the table, you were supposed to take that little pen knife and do some body maintenance. Yeah, that works. And by the way, that's not the only thing I carry in the way of a blade. But this is something all of you should automatically should be second nature should be like it automatically just goes in the pocket. Part of being a man, part of being a man in America, not one of these wussy pieces of trash we've got out there right now that just doesn't know, you know, there are bars from a hole in the ground. Well, actually they treat both the same actually. They got a woodchuck, got help him. They treat him the same way they would somebody, well the other guy's bung hole. But, no, that's just, anyway, because they were taught, because they were taught in the kindergarten, first or second grade to be a pedo slash queer, they were taught in the third grade, fourth grade and fifth grade. Thank goodness government's there to make sure that they can clarify the kids from third grade on. That make me feel on the land of the sea and the home of the slave. Play ball. Oh with Fauci in the stands because you can't be there. Oh, that's right. I remember that. Jog, you remember me there too. That's why I have no use for these idiots in sports. Anyway, a couple of things real quick. And also this has to do with reloading his bullet molds. I should mention that. Our friend, conduct was just talking about 9 millimeter Guys, although it is typically jacketed, 9mm can be done in lead and it's not a big deal for your gun. But I would remind you that if you can, get a bullet mold for your whatever you've got. 44, 45, 9mm, 40 caliber, whatever it is. 38 special, 357, 41 Magnum. Okay, whatever you got, get bullet molds for those basic pistol. Just one, even if all you can do is get one. You don't need to get 20 different ones. Get one. Everybody doing that, times however many shooters we have, quantifies our ability to produce at the lowest tactical level, but provide what we need for all of our tactical needs. Okay? And they'll make more. That's right. And they will make more. The more we buy, the more they'll make. The big thing with the bullet mold is, now here's what I want you to do is have some fun. Just to give you work. Mark always gives us work and homework assignments. It's always a lot of work. Okay, I'm gonna give you some fun homework assignments. Go over to YouTube and go punch in homemade copper plating machine. Homemade copper plating device, okay? Go check out all the neat things you can do with an aquarium. And by the way, this is why I told you never throw away coffee crepes. Let anybody else do it so you can get them for free. You need those scientific laboratory glass containers for all kinds of future products like projects like what we're talking about with going to Florida, okay? And they're very common and easy to pinch eat at the stores, too Right. Well, usually I get them for free because the people get them put them out the under coffee machine It goes in the recycle bin out by the road grab them The places that you donate stuff to, walk those machines without even putting them out for sale over and put them in the trash. I've seen it a hundred times. All those crepes are scientific thermal glass. Those things can be used for a lot of other projects. When you take a look at what some of the people are doing with plating projects, you will appreciate all of this cheap material that is easily used when we need it. If we're gonna build powder, and if you're gonna do, for instance, laboratory work for just building black powder, and doing other things like that, having all of those coffee pots, those crepes, the ones that are usually put in like a Mr. Coffee machine, Guys, that's all scientific glass. That's stuff that we can use because it can handle the heat. Also, correllware and corningware and corning cookware. Why? Well, the state for the space program ain't no heat that it can't handle. But what's really important is when you have to heat the element or bath that you're using for finishing, You could use the glass for the particular, you know, again, containers that you need to stand off, heat up one material, stand off, heat up the other material, pick up the containers, bring them together, bring it all to a boil in the process or at least mix at temperature because you may already have a temperature that's going to be in a neutral pan. You're then going to stir the pan. You're then going to allow it to cool. You're then going to allow the crystal structure of the material you're trying to build to collect because that's what's going to happen when you brought the alpha element and Bravo element together and the final product you're going to then screen and filter and then dry, prill. And you're going to make what it is that needs to go boom to make your rifles work. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Okay, prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance. Okay, and again, most important is if you go over to YouTube, you don't have to reinvent the wheel. Bunch of people have already been having a lot of fun before you got there. So go take a look at all the cool solutions. I love what they're doing with coffee makers, microwave ovens obviously, that's a critical tool. But also a lot of other steamers and other products that are out there that create an energy, a heat source for and a consistent flat heat source for certain types of processes that you're going to want to be able to develop that allow you to continue to make your boom toys go boom. It's not a big deal making the powder. The biggest thing is having the components, the build components available. You'll eventually see why you don't even want to get rid of the coffee makers because typically they have a heating element for the pot. Just keep it warm. In fact, it can also be graduated in temperature. It has a variable rheostat there. It's all kinds of fun stuff. In fact, older is typically better. because it's heavier built and grossly over engineered, which is why you don't want to get rid of those, but you do want to box them up and secure them. And you need to watch you don't lose your glass to dropage and you know, digging, banging, etc. from you know, moving stuff around. Remember, prior pepper planting prevents piss poor performance. Another thing here real quick, and this has to do with also pay attention, a lot of the different pieces of equipment we've been talking about, if you've taken notes, If you can't physically access it yourself, remember there's a whole bunch of videos out there on YouTube, specifically on night vision, to at least give you an idea of what we're talking about. Thermal, needless to say, is a much more expensive proposition to get into, but it is money well spent. And the big thing here again is remember it ain't the razor, it's the blades. All the perishables, all the breakdown parts, all the spares that you think you're gonna need, you need to accumulate in advance. Once you've got a piece of equipment, don't forget power is the next issue. Most common with all these is a one, two, three battery. I've noticed we had one company that actually had 100 count boxes of one, two, three batteries on sale. and they were upper end copper top type. Well, they're actually better than copper top, to be honest. But they were, again, in that category. They're a very, a much, you know, more consistently manufactured, better material, final product consistency, where it needs to be. And what it was is they were, you know, getting closer to date. They weren't outdated, but they were getting closer to date. Well, if you have a whole bunch of people that you are working with, those 1, 2, 3 batteries are in your lights, they're in your night vision, they're in your thermal. Hell, there's a lot of equipment you wouldn't want it to be in because you're using those batteries in places where they're not as essential. Again, I would remind you if you're going to be getting into the electronics, the 1, 2, 3 batteries should be prioritized for thermal and for night vision. Everything else should be double A, triple A. If at all possible, double A. Because you can always, if you have a bigger casing, I can always take a couple of AAAs and gimmick them and make them work. But I can't stuff a AA into a AAA tube. Okay? So always think about it this way. You want to try and go up a little bit, you know, into the larger format. Granted some stuff you can't do that with. But if you can, remember that the AA are your better choice because then you can use all those AAA batteries and AA batteries and even some other stuff that's laid out there that's made for the smoke alarms, by the way. So we can improvise adapting over Kumbo. We've got to have the space to do it. Another thing here real quick is lens maintenance and care, something we haven't talked about again in a little bit. If you have optics, and I do not care what kind of optics, you do not want to use paper made with wood on your finished product lenses. Pretty quick, they're going to get a little brazed, and they're going to be more brazed, and eventually they're going to be scuffed. So you want to make sure that you invest in lens care technology. It's not expensive. In fact, everybody, almost every place sells any kind of glasses, lenses, or even Dollar Tree has lens care equipment on the shelf, lens care packages on the shelf. The big thing here again is think ahead. a Ziploc bag everything Ziploc bags are your friends. Okay, they keep everything clean dry and separate one item from the other which is especially cool. So you don't necessarily you know keep pulling the same junk out over and over again and you know manhandling something you didn't need to. Prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance on that note. But optics maintenance, not just because of the $3,000, $4,000 piece of night vision or $3,000, $4,000 piece of thermal, but a lot of your conventional glass is not cheap out there too, that you've spent money on. And even if you haven't, you don't need to wear out the less expensive piece of equipment faster just because you got spares. This is where, again, you need to husband your resources. We may have to, instead of using that spare scope, We may not be able to rebuild your gun because we may need it to that scope for another rifle that's going into service. Our spears very quickly will become maybe all of our frontline technology. We have to do that, we have to do that. But if we have it on the shelf, we need to be able to maintain what we have so that it lasts longer while it's in the field. We need to become religious about that. That's your religiosity if you want to have some religiosity and you want to go out there and preach to the fuzzy was these Guess what? There's there's the preaching that needs to be done for our proper planning Anyway, a couple of things With regard to GunPartsCorp.com, they still have the gas masks available. Oh, don't forget, because we are coming up on the next hour, so I don't want to rush on this, and I want you to hear it clearly. We need to clear off the copper rounds that are on the shelf that Craig has a forbidden knowledge, okay? Now, Craig needs to sit down and figure out what it is, for as an equitable price, he needs to offer those for, but guys, I'm going to ask all of you listening to invest in our treasury. This is why you have gold. This is why you have silver. This is why you invest in coinage and even paper currency to be able to have a cash capital mechanism in play. But our cash capital mechanism is going to entail a full understanding of trade and exchange. So copper, silver and gold. Must be part of our integrated mental processes and mark comes to to currency. Okay, and we got in there go ahead I know you're sitting up for Craigslist program and tell people to tune in board I'll have a replay in the next hour. I've not been able to get a whole crack today Okay, very good. Well, if he does call in then take advantage of it if it is a Again, if you have to do a replay, then well, we'll have to wait till next Wednesday. But, guys, the copper rounds that he has, he's got a really cool one that is a militia medallion copper round. I recommend it. It is a useful tool, but it's also a consistent one ounce, you know, 999 proof copper round piece of currency. That's how we're going to be using them. Again, using uniform weights and measures. So that's part of the program. There we go. Anyway, we are at the top almost, not quite, but almost. Last but not least, it was a really hard time hearing the music. It was only about one tenth of there. Okay, if you as long as you hear me okay, we'll continue on then. This is Craig, forbidden knowledge, live, if you're listening on August the 10th. 2016, or live, Wednesday evening, August the 10th. If the celebrity in my connection is bad on your end, Ed, you'll have to call me back or something, because I could not hear hardly any. Okay, great. I could hear you. The music was extremely terrible. Okay. Well, here we are on a Wednesday evening live. I've been trying to get these done more often than not, because I was missing a lot of shows in the past. Trying to get these done. Here, I guess I'll start off by saying the website is forbiddenknowledge.info. Just having done a show in Michigan for the first time in a long time and this weekend, no show. As far as I'm aware of, I'm not doing any show this weekend, so I'm taking a little break, although I got plenty to do. I've been replenishing stock, been doing things to better the business the best I can. I guess I do have some. If you've ever been to my table at these shows, you'll see that I have a lot of things that aren't on the website. Of course, the website I'm talking about, now ForbidKnowledge.info is only about basically about the TV show. It's not so much about selling products. If you're wondering about the type of products I sell, you go to theprepperstop.com. Theprepperstop.com. Stop as in a stop sign. Theprepperstop.com. And, but you also find that if you come to my tables, you'll find out a lot of things that I don't have on theprepperstop.com. I've got things like mylar bags, vacuum sealers, I can bring a freeze dryer with me to the shows, the prepper shows that is, not the other types of shows. Things like you probably see me have wind up radios, wind up flashlights, various things that I have not put on the website. And coming up, I have some new items that will be coming too. One of the things I'm working on here this week is procuring more items that might be interested in the prepper type people, solar panels, various type of storage battery banks, windup radios. That's shortwave, Kobe shortwave radios for 12 bucks in person, not on the website. Lots of different things that are offered for sale. You'll have to check out not only the prepperstop.com, but check out my tables wherever I may be and to find out wherever I might be you would go to forbiddenknowledge.info. The next show that I have coming up that I have listed there, whether or not I do that show, I'm still in my positive. Another show in Michigan, Gibraltar Trade Show in Mount Clements, Michigan. And then we're off to Lawrenceville, Georgia. for a prepper show on the end of August in Lawrenceville, Georgia, which is in a suburb of Atlanta. You're in that area, you know what I'm talking about. And then, of course, the famous Dragon Con the first week of September. This week in a September, Dragon Con, the world's largest science fiction show. Also in Atlanta, downtown Atlanta in this case. And anyway, if you go for Biddin' Dolls Without Info, you can find all the places where I'll be. For those of you who did not take advantage of the mountain house sale that I've been talking about for much of this year, this is basically your last chance for the most part, the pouches especially. Well, before I get into this, let me back up a little bit. I don't think I talked about this last week and it was big news, at least in my business, and Mountain House itself. Mountain House, you don't know, is freeze-dried food. The oldest freeze-dried food maker in the country. They have 45 years under the brand name and 50 years of experience with the parent company. So Mountain House has been around for at least 45 to 50 years. And they made an announcement last week stating, so if you have Mounthouse food at all, it was made since 1986. This is retroactive to 1986. They are now stating, the Mounthouse company is claiming that their products will now be rated at a 30-year shelf life. That includes cans and pouches, both. So if you have any Mounthouse food that's quite old and you're wondering if it's still any good, check the date. If it's made in 1986 or later, it's still good. Yep, 30 years retroactively to 1986. Now this was just an administrative decision based on their years of experience. There wasn't any changes made to the pouches or the food. It was just based on their years of experience. They decided to unilaterally declare administratively that all their pouches and cans are now 30 years. Now before the cans were stated at 25 years and their pouches were stated as 12 years in the last year. But actually before that, if you go back in time a little over a year, you're going to find that they changed that from seven years. So their pouches, if you have some old pouches, they probably have a seven year date on them. Well, they increased them to 12 years and now they increased to 30. So I presume this is largely due to some competition from companies such as Wyze and other companies that I offer Wyze as well. Mounthouse generally people try both products. People ask me all the time, which is a better product? And since I saw both of them, I'm not going to necessarily downplay either one of them. However, I'm just being honest with you about this. If you've tried both of them, anybody that's tried both Mountain House and Wise, side by side, something rather equivalent, if you can find something very equivalent, it's not that easy because frankly, most of Wise's stuff does not have real meat in it. It has something called TVT. That stands for texturized vegetable protein. That's basically a soy pretending to be a meat. So for in other words, their products that would be like a beef stroganoff is actually called savory stroganoff. It's not called beef stroganoff because there's no beef in it. Savory stroganoff would be the equivalent of beef stroganoff at Mountain House. And if you taste both side by side, most people will pick the Mountain House and eat a better bread. Just be honest with you about that. That's what most people that taste both of them side by side. Most people think Mountain House is better because I get that question a lot and I have a YouTube video about that. If you go to YouTube, you go to forbidTV and I talk about this and many other topics on YouTube. So yes, people pick Mountain House and Mountain House is more expensive. There's no two ways about it and it has real meaning. That might be part of it. Mound House has a huge advertising campaign. Sometimes people come looking for, I'm sorry, Wise has a huge advertising campaign where Mound House does not have nearly as big of an advertising campaign. So sometimes people come to the table specifically looking for Wise because they heard it about on whatever, Glenn Beck Show or whoever sells it these days, but just about everybody selling it seems online. Anybody has some kind of a TV or radio connection that seems like they're selling Wise. Well, I saw them too, but Mound House is Most people think mama's a better product, but frankly, you know what, if all your neighbors are eating bugs and grass, you're not going to be complaining about the wise. It has a little bit of TVP in it. I don't think anybody's going to be bitching about some TVP if you're eating, when nobody else is eating, you know what I'm saying? So don't put off any food storage program necessarily, any type of food storage, because you're going to be very glad and very fortunate to have food at all. When maybe others do not or else they have to kiss the boots to feed them in order to get a meal So anyway, so the mount house announcement is 30 years on pouches and cans retroactive to 1986 except for the ice cream Okay, the ice cream still have a two-year red shelf life including stuff from this last week on In other words, because of the higher fat content, it's harder to store higher fat in a freeze-dried product. So they're still maintaining a two-year shelf life on their ice creams. And typically, I do sell a lot of ice cream. In fact, ice cream sandwich, the Apollopin ice cream, they also have one called New York Cheesecake Bites. All those have a two-year shelf life skill. And frankly, when I saw those, I typically figured they're not even going to leave the building. So I guess it doesn't matter as much, but ice cream is harder to store long-term because of the higher fat content. We're going to try to, and I'm doing some research on this, been looking into a, I guess I could do a whole show about this and I guess I'm not ready to yet, but basically give you a heads up on this. And anybody else who has ideas, I mean, welcome to the ideas. I have this freeze dryer that I take around the shows. I've used it once just to try it out. I have not used it much other than just to try it out. I tried it out on about 15 different things and I gave it some difficult tasks, things I knew it would fail on just to see how it would react because of what I've read about in the past. I don't have a way of really doing this, using this device because I'm on the road all the time basically. I don't have a home and I don't have a place to plug in, that kind of thing. And I don't have a kitchen in order to prepare the food, get it ready for freeze drying, etc, etc. It's very difficult for me to use it at all. But I'm trying to take a week off when the paw paws are in season. Now, paw paw, for those who don't know, you look it up because a lot of people may have heard about it, don't have any idea what it is. It's an actual, it's a fruit. It's native to North America. It's in fact the Indians, it was a staple fruit of the Indians for quite a long time. And we just sort of... It grows all the way from all the way north of Michigan, all the way south. It is like North Carolina, all the way to the east coast, Atlantic Ocean, all the way towards, probably just a little past the Mississippi River. It grows in a big area of the eastern United States, native. It's a very large fruit. It's, in fact, the largest native fruit to, I don't want to say North America, I want to say the United States. It's the largest native fruit to the United States. And it's kind of people describe it as a, it's very large, it's like the size of a, like a big mango or like a big papaya. And in fact, that's sometimes people compare the taste to that, they compare the taste to either a, well, some say banana, some say mango, some say cantaloupe. and some say papaya. So it's kind of a mix of all those, I guess, if you will. It's got large black seeds, almost like a watermelon seed. And it's very soft. It's like a custard type of soft. The fruit, when it's ripe, when it's ready, when it's ready, when you pick it, you have hours to use it. You can't really pick it green and ship it across the country. And that's why commercially you don't ever see it. You can't pick a paw paw, put it in a case with a bunch of other paw paws and ship it across the country and expect it to be any good. Basically the only way you could do that would be to freeze them to ship them distances like that. It's very soft for one. You don't even really see it in the farmer's markets. You might get lucky to find it in the farmer market, but they're very hard to find there. They have to be eaten fairly quickly. Certainly within days, they almost immediately begin to ferment when you pick them. So, and it's a very, it's very nutritious. I can't remember the vitamin C and vitamin A or something. I can't remember what's a very nutritious fruit. Anyway, look it up. It's spelled different ways, but you can sell it PAW, space PAW or PAW PAW. So, I might also sell PAU. W, I believe. There's way different ways of spelling it. It's too soft to ship and it ripens too quickly, so that's why you're not going to see commercialization. And not only that, if you ever have seen a paw paw, basically when they're ready to eat, on the tree they're a dark green, but when you pick them, when they're ready to eat, basically they're almost, they turn black, splotchy black. They look ugly as hell. And so, You probably will never see them commercially for the most part because they're too soft They look ugly and they ripen very quickly where you need even quickly but for freeze drying That those do not present a problem So there and there's other fruits and vegetables that may be the similar nature that I'm not even aware of and not this where I'm looking for some suggestions here in fact frankly Depending where I am in the country and depending on what my schedule is is Possibility if you have these good ideas you want to try using the freeze dryer For some of these exotic fruits or vegetables or other food items that might be extremely unusual, contact me. You might be willing to come to your area as I'm going through. If I'm going anywhere near your area, you might be able to sidetrack a little bit and go through your area and spend a day at your house. Let you try out the machine. There's some exotic fruits or vegetables. See how it turns out. It takes about an old day of the actual cycle of the machine. But anyway contact me because it may have to be some preparation of all that of course I have to do some adjustments my schedule not promising this I'm just suggesting that maybe come up with different ways because just like the pawpaw Most you probably never tasted a pawpaw. You've never even heard of it, and yet it's very it's a it's an extremely Interesting fruit and nutritious and history behind it in this country if you're listening in any of the several states We've seen several eastern states, about half the country. It was a staple food for the Indians. But we've lost complete track of it because it's not very easily commercialized. So they could be picked. And in the case of paw paws, what will have to be done, in my case, I'm working with a farm that has some trees. I'm going to get probably several bushels of it. We're going to try. There's experiment because I've never seen anybody do this and they've never heard of anybody doing this either the freeze drying pop-up and personally any fruit or vegetable could be freeze-dried and then it'll have a In case of mountain health they're saying 30 years But anyway, you'll have a decades-long shelf life without refrigeration on the shelf to give you any time And most fruits you can just eat pretty much just right out of the package You don't even need to rehydrate them necessarily. You just put them right in your mouth and eat them Some very common ones out there are peaches, strawberries apples I think some other ones that are very popular, bananas, as freeze-dried, shelf-stable without any refrigeration for long periods of time. Some fruits, let's say, let's take an example, losing my cramp out here. Banana, for instance, you freeze-dried banana, you've had a banana chip in the grocery store. Banana chip basically is dried, it's not freeze-dried, it's dried, very crunchy. They usually have to sugar coat them to make them taste very good and they don't even really taste like bananas a whole lot, right? Well, if you freeze dry a banana, cut it with a banana and freeze dry it, put it in the freeze dryer and get it done and it's basically, it's about one fourth the weight of that dried banana, that banana chip. If you put it in water, it pays for it and put it in your mouth, it turns soft like you just cut a banana and put it in your mouth, essentially. So it doesn't it's not crunchy at all unless you put your mouth immediately start chewing it It's not crunchy at all if you let be soaking water for just a few seconds Then it's uh it turns off just like a fresh cup banana because that's what it is. It's a fresh cup banana just freeze-dried So and not only that for the freeze-dried process maintains about 97 to 98 percent of its nutritional value versus canning which only maintains about 60 percent of its nutritional value. And dried only maintains about 40% of its nutritional value. And canning and dried don't have as nearly as long as shelf life either, does it? You talk about dried, usually you're only talking about six months to a year. Canning is certainly years, two years to 10 years, depending on what it is you're storing. But freeze dried, decades and decades. So if you have an idea, run it by me. Again, not making any promises. You would have to do a lot of preparation before the freeze-dry-rive. In other words, for the paw-paws, what will have to be done, because they ripen in a short period of time, it has to be processed very quickly. Basically, they have to be cut open, the inside's taken out, in this case, custard-like. It's hard to slice these things and peel and slice them, it's more like spooning it out, depending on how hard it is, time. And then they'd be frozen. immediately frozen, normal freezing like your normal chest freezer, it's not your freeze dryer, just frozen and they could be freeze dried later. That's the way probably whatever you may have an idea for in freeze drying you'd have to do. Now if there was, if the crop came in little at a time you could just put them directly in the freeze dryer and do them that way. But when you have a big crop, a whole lot. And the freeze dryer only has the capacity to freeze dry about, the freeze dryer have anyway, only has the capacity to freeze dry about two number 10 cans worth. In other words, these large cans you see like the Mountain House for instance comes in number 10 cans. Only by the time you get all the food out of there, it only fills up two number 10 cans. That's about as much as it will freeze dry at one time. So, in the case of harvesting some fruit or vegetable, typically you're going to have a whole lot more than that on time, so you're going to have to freeze them, prepare them and freeze them, and then freeze dry them later. It's not a difficult thing to do. It doesn't hamper the ability to freeze dryer to do its job. It's just a way to move it along because the freeze dryer is going to be the weak link in the process unless you've got another type of heat freeze dryer that has a huge chamber where you can do lots at one time. That's the way you're going to have to do it in a more home type based situation. By the way, if you're a caterer or a restaurant owner, this is an ideal way to keep you from wasting food. If you're in those businesses, you know all the amount of food you throw away, you could freeze dry it, have it decades later. Of course, sell it. This freeze dried. and then people could store it for decades before they need to use it. Freesawing is very interesting and it's an interesting process and for things like top off, it might be about the only avenue out there. And maybe the same true for, again, I'm looking for ideas. Various fruits and vegetables that you don't ever see in the grocery store and or the farmer's markets for one reason or another because they look ugly or they don't store or they don't ship. or whatever the reason, freeze drying may be a process to consider. So contact me for midknowledge.info if you have some ideas. Again, I can't promise it. It has to be working in my schedule and depending where I'm in the country. And I don't have my freeze dryer with me all the time, not the gun shows, for instance. only preparedness expos is where I generally bring it. However, I just obtained a new, well, new is a relative term, I can't afford new vans, but I bought a different van and this one is bigger and with space I've been needing badly, I've been needing more space badly because essentially when I'm on the road I sleep in my van with all the product in the van. That's the way I have to do it. Without a Social Security number, it's not really possible for me to get hotel and motel rooms like most of you can because of one of the first things any, certainly any chain places. Other places might be allowed, but frankly, I don't make enough money to be able to do it anyway, even if I could afford it. Or I'm sorry, even if I could do it because of the lack of a Social Security number. Yeah, think about it folks. Without a Social Security number, you can't rent a car. Because without a Social Security number, for instance, you can't have a driver's license. That's for one right there. That'll kill the car rental, besides the fact that you're going to need to fill out the forms and they're going to ask for a credit card. See, that's part of the problem with the motel rooms or hotel rooms. They need a credit card. Whether you pay with cash or not, they'll still need a credit card. All the chain places will. You need a credit card in order to rent that room for the night. So because of the fact that I'm Social Security number, they don't have any credit cards, can't rent the room for the night even if I could afford it and I basically what I do I cannot afford it anyway. You know, not mostly you would be very shocked to see what my bottom line is, what I do at these shows. It's expensive to be on the road and expensive to be renting a space for a weekend at these shows trying to sell your goods and services. Also, what I started talking about before I talked about the 30-year shelf life of Mountain House, basically if you're interested in this, the big sale I got going on that I've had for almost the beginning of this year at 3500 pouches of Mountain House for sale at half price. That's almost over with now. Frankly, this show that I'm doing, the next show I'm doing, go to forbidden, I'll just add info. The next show I'm doing, that'll pretty much be the end of the pouches. There might be a couple flavors left, odds and ends, but I may have about six or seven flavors left out of the 20-some that I had to start. And I'm down to about six or seven, and frankly, I worked it down, so I only have about one case of each of those, or most of those, so they're gonna run out very quickly. So, and with his 30-year pouches now, remember pouches 30 years retroactively in 1986, 30-year shelf life half price unprecedented, nowhere in the country are you ever going to see that kind of price again. And that's going to end this next show that I'm doing, which may or may not be one in Michigan. So, that's about it. I only have about 15 cases left, like about 100 pouches, less than 100 pouches. So that's it. Number 10 cans, I sold a lot of those at the 45% level, 45% off. Sold a lot of those at 600 cans of those, sold all those out a couple months ago actually. Although I am offering a sale still on other Mountain House cans right now, 25 to 30% off depending on how much you buy. Now you're not going to see this special online. In fact, I can't put those prices online. I would lose my contract with Mountain House. This is only presented to you in person. So you're going to have to go to Forbid Knowledge. I didn't go find out where I am to take advantage of these sales. 25 to 30% off on Mount House Cans. And the only reason I'm selling those, I'm taking a hit on those. Big, big hit because frankly, they've changed their label style again, the design of their labels. And when that happens, it makes the things on the table look pretty goofy with two very different. can label styles and pouch labels. They change the labels of the pouches and labels of my cans. And so now I'm just trying to sell off all my old style labels. That's the only reason I'm selling those shapers. They're only one year old, two years old, whatever these cans, but they're offered between 25 and 30% off. As long as those old labels last, now I have about 100 cans or less left of that, those will be on sale too only at the shows only in person at those prices. I have the modern labels too, the brand new labels, but those are for now are full price. You see, I can only run a sale four times a year with prior written permission from Bownhouse and then I can't even exceed 25% anyway just by our contract. So I'm not going to be able to put that online. It's only for the listeners of this radio show who come in person or people who come into the gun shows or preparedness expos or whatever type of show you might find me at. Hi, this is Craig. You're listening for Midnowledge. We're going to talk about some other topics here in the lesson. I haven't heard anybody chime in yet. A very hot day. Probably people often about doing things. One of these people don't call in. Been watching the price of gold and silver the last couple months ever since the Brexit. Seems like that was kind of the impetus to get this price of silver and gold to rise. It grows pretty quickly from around $15 to around $20 an ounce for silver. And it's about $100 rise on gold as well. And it seems to have stayed there. It's fluctuating up and down in that same narrow range, around $20. So it was really surprising to see that happen. Just a quick jump in the state up there. That's surprising because typically you watch gold, it's over and it goes all over the place. But no, in the last couple of years, it's been hovering in the neighborhood of $15, plus or minus a dollar, pretty much all it's been doing for the last couple of years for silver we're talking about here. And then gold, the range was also very narrow in the mid 1200s. hovering within about 30 to 40 bucks within for the last two years and then all of a sudden it took a jump. And now silver is around 20 bucks an ounce and has been for the last month or so fairly stable up and down a little bit but looks like gold and silver may be there to stay for a while. because the investors who are worried about the Brexit seem to still be worried as much as because, frankly, there's no change and probably won't be any change for a long time with what's going on with the Brexit. This is going to take a long time. So in the meantime, things are business as normal, but people are apparently, the investors are apparently a little jittery and people have flocked a little bit to gold and silver apparently. And the demand apparently is still up there. Watching the election, of course, Trump continues with his foot and mouth syndrome. He basically every time he veers off his teleprompter, he puts his foot and his mouth, and he's done it again with guns. I'm sure you've all heard this, probably, they've been talking about it on this network. But the thing about it is everybody on this network that is listening to my voice right now probably understood exactly what he was talking about. And that's part of the problem. Guy's probably been away for politically, for political purpose. You can't just put out there what's on your mind or what we might actually be thinking. But that's actually what he does a lot of times, but he veers off the teleprompter. That's what he does. He speaks his mind of something from the gut, from the heart, that politicians are not supposed to say. Like, if you don't know what I'm talking about, you probably do. There's been a big news the last couple of days. He basically said, I don't have a direct quote in front of me. Well, I might have a direct quote in front of me, actually. But I look a little bit here. Unfortunately, they're not in order. Or maybe they are. Let me check here. I haven't gone down to the bottom of this list. I have a list of the amazing things that Donald Trump has said. I also have some of the amazing things Hillary Clinton has said. Well, even though Trump has foot and mouth, Clinton said some pretty stupid things too. And I'm going to go over some of those here. Basically, it was about guns. And he basically said, and I'm not direct quoting him here, but just that it was, If Clinton gets in office, she's going to appoint enough, offset the balance enough for the Supreme Court appointees to offset the balance of guns to be in favor of the gun grabbers, or in his words, to abolish the Second Amendment, I think is the words he used. It's a little over dramatic, so I'm sizing it. But anyway, if Bill Murray gets in office, she could appoint some judges that would offset the ballots because we're basically in a split right now. But if you think about it, the Supreme Court's justices' jobs, if they're doing a job, is not to abolish any such thing. It's only to render an opinion. And so they can't abolish the Second Amendment nor can Clinton. Takes a lot more than that. Anyway, and then he followed up by saying that maybe those Second Amendment people can do something about that. And although he's kind of backpedaled on that statement in recent hours, because it changes all the time, he basically said he might have been referring to people that what they could do politically or what they could do... to the NRA or some other organization. But he was not talking about, as the press immediately jumped on it and tried to spin it out of control until he was suggesting that people start taking up arms against the government and up the arms and or arms up against Clinton. And supposedly even the Secret Service were taking notice of what he said. But yeah, but he had to backpad a little bit on that. But I think we all understood exactly what he meant. And that's why the Second Amendment is there, after all. The press can just say that once or twice. That's why the Second Amendment is there. If our government got out of control, we can do something about it. That's what it's there for. Of course, I'm not running for president. I can say that directly. And that's what all of us think and say amongst our friends, but we can't say that. And Trump can't say it either without taking a pounding by the press. But so far, all the pounding he's been taken by the press for all these weird statements he's made, he's off the cuff statements because he's got foot and mouth disease. He has been putting his foot in his mouth and the press attacks it no matter which way it wants to be spun. They'll spin it whichever way they want to spin it to get him to look like he's saying an outrageous statement. But frankly, some of them aren't all that outrageous. I got a list of them here. Some of them. I'm going to go over some of them. But yeah, the press was a little lost about it once in a while and thought, tell exactly what the second amendment was about. Then that would have been an extremely outrageous quote actually. People who understand about the Second Amendment understood what he meant first time around. We didn't have to read anything into it. We just sat back and said, he's right. But we're not running for president. Well, of course, Trump started this whole thing out and this is one. Trump's by quote. An extremely credible source has called my office and told me that Barack Obama's birth certificate is a fraud. Of course, that's years ago. We've been through that back in 2012. Here's one, Bob. Let me skip over this one here. Ariana, here's a quote. Ariana Huffington is attractive both inside and out. I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man. He made a good decision. That's not something politicians say. Another quote. You know, he really doesn't matter. I'm sorry. You know, it really doesn't matter what the media write, as long as you've got a young and beautiful piece of ass. Yep, that's something he said. Here's the wall one quote. I will build a great wall and nobody builds walls better than me. Believe me. I'll build them very inexpensively. I build, I will build a great, great wall on our southern border and it will make Mexico pay. I'll make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words. And the quote, I don't think anybody believes that Mexico is actually going to do that. And whether or not he's going to build a wall or not, that's going to be questionable too. Cause there's already a wall in a lot of places. Doesn't make any difference unless you change immigration policy. The wall's probably not going to do anything. But anyway, next quote. Oh, when Mexico sends its people, they're not sending the best. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're bringing rapists. And some, I assume, are good people. And the quote. So they're trying to claim he's disparaging all Mexicans. Another one. Quote. Our great African-American president hasn't exactly a positive impact on the thugs who are so happily, openly destroying Baltimore." End of quote. Here's another quote. This is a fun one. If I were running the view, I'd fire Rosie O'Donnell. I mean, look at her right in that fat, ugly face of hers. I'd say, Rosie, you're fired. End of quote. That's something you want to say when you're running for president. Even though some of you might be thinking that. You don't say that when you're president. You see, you've got foot in mouth. Quote, all the women on the apprentice flirted with me, consciously or unconsciously, that's to be expected. Then a quote, another quote from Donald Trump. One of the key problems today is that politics is such a disgrace. Good people don't go into government. And a quote, why is that outrageous? It's outrageous because the politician and folks say that because of course, they're part of the problem as well. Trump's trying to point him to present himself as being not a regular politician, which obviously isn't because he's got foot in mouth syndrome, for instance. And most people would actually agree with that, they know a little bit about what's going on in the world. I'll quote that one again. One of the key problems today is that politics is such a disgrace. Good people don't go into government, end of quote. And I think a lot of American people would actually agree with that. Excellent. The beauty of me is that I'm very rich. That's his quote. And that might be true. But delivery is very rich too, but I'm sure she's not going to say that. Excellent. Well, it's freezing and snowing in New York. We need global warming. Next quote. I said, if Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her. Let me quote. Okay. Next quote. Quote, my fingers are long and beautiful as it has been well-documented. Our various other parts of my body. And the quote, very well-documented. Okay. Where's that documentation? Excellent. I have never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke. And there's some proof of that, partly because of the aspartame that mimics sugar and you put your body. Starts craving sugar after drinking those drinks. We talked about that before. Next quote. I think the only difference between me and the other candidates is that I'm more honest and my women are more beautiful. Okay. Women are a possession, Donald. They can't belong to you. Uh, see here, he's called somebody disgusting. There's another one. The point is you can never be too greedy. And the quote, uh, see, well, my Twitter has become so powerful that I can actually make enemies, make my enemies tell the truth. That is, they could be a reactionary like you have been and go on Twitter without putting a lot of thought. into what you're actually tweeting. Again, foot-in-mouth syndrome. Next quote, my IQ is one of the highest and you all know it. Please don't feel stupid or insecure is not your fault. End of quote. Don't worry, we won't. Next quote, I have so many friends, so many fabulous friends who happen to be gay, but I'm a traditionalist. And a quote, traditionalist, that would exclude being gay, wouldn't it? Excellent. Oh, the other candidates, they went in, they didn't know the air conditioning didn't work. They sweated like dogs. How are they going to beat ISIS? I don't think it's going to happen. Next Donald Trump quote, look at those hands. Are they small hands? I'm talking about Mark Rubio here. And Mark Rubio referred to my hands. If they're small, something else must be small. I guarantee you there was no problem. I guarantee. Okay. Here's one that got him in a big trouble during the Republican debates. Quote, lying Ted Cruz, just use a picture of Milena from a shoot in his ad. Be careful lying Ted or I'll spill the beans on your wife. And that's where Ted Cruz went off the handle and never returned. Excellent quote. I was down there and I watched our police and our firemen down on 7-11 down at the World Trade Center right after it came down. And the quote see here next one the only card that we talked about Hillary Clinton the only card has Is the Hillary Clinton has is the woman's card? She's got nothing else to offer and frankly if Hillary Clinton were a man I don't think she'd get 5% of the vote the only thing she's not going is the woman's card and The beautiful thing is women don't like her and the quote and of course there are a lot of women who don't like her There's another one, quote, number one, I have great respect for women. That was the one that really broke the glass ceiling on behalf of women, more than anybody in the construction industry. And I quote. And then of course there's the one that he did just a couple days ago, it's getting me in trouble. How about Hillary Clinton though? Hillary Clinton? They don't go through some of these quotes, they completely, everything that Clinton, everything that Trump says, they dwell on, dwell on, dwell on, and it's news for days. And then it goes away and he has to, because by then he has something else he said. How about some things that Hillary Clinton has said? All right. Now, some of this needs to be set up, but I'll just, I'll do the quote and then I'll have, I may have to set it up sometimes. Hillary Clinton quote, I'm undaunted in my quest to amuse myself by constantly changing my hair. End of quote. Talking about, was just changing hairstyles and cheese. An annual attempt to make herself seem more human and less esoteric or less robotic, I should say. Sometimes she tries to make a joke and that was her version of the joke. I quote, I'm undaunted in my quest to amuse myself by constantly changing my hair. Next quote by Hillary Clinton. We are going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good. End of quote. Of course, there's a whole lot of truth to that one. because that's exactly what socialism is all about. Let me say that again. This was during her 2008 presidential campaign attempt. Hillary decided to let the general public know exactly how she would fix the economic mess that Bush administration dragged the country into. She said, quote, we are going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good. End of quote. Probably a poor choice of words, but that's exactly what Democrats and Republicans are wanting to do. They can't say that, but she said it. How about this one? Direct quote from Hillary Clinton. Quote, who's going to find out these women are trash? Nobody's going to believe them, end of quote. Now, this has to be set up, and what we're talking about, of course, the women like Paula Jones, Michael and Squee, all the women that were coming forward that were supposedly involved with her husband, Hillary Scroft, at the notion that these accusations would be taken seriously. And then she said, quote, who's going to find out these women are trash. Nobody's going to believe them. And the quote, well, of course, millions of people did believe them. And it was found he was lying and he got impeached. Actually, people seem to forget that. I've mentioned that impeach word on the Democratic National National National. They didn't say it one time. Another quote by Hillary Clinton, quote, God bless the America we are trying to create. And the quote. As opposed to America has already been created. There's still a few pieces missing from that puzzle. Socialism in action here. Again, let's repeat that quote by Hillary Clinton because they talk about Donald Trump's quotes all the time. Quote, God bless the America we are trying to create. End of quote. Socialism in action. Another quote by Hillary Clinton. Quote. My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. You know, I just don't understand it." End of quote. Now, this was needed to be set up, I guess, a little bit. She was struggling to accept that Barack Obama had walked the Democratic nomination during the 2008 campaign. She managed to offend not only the Kennedys, But elections, voters, elections, voters, and Bill all in one fell swoop by saying, and I'll say that quote again, quote, my husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. You know, I just don't understand it. End of quote. You're just joining us. We went over a bunch of the silly comments Trump's made. In his very short political career, what about a year for the most part, and the things he said within the last year, of course, Hillary Clinton's got a lot longer time to stumble without a teleprompter. There's another quote from Hillary Clinton. This is from 2004. I have said I am not running and I'm having a great time being a first-time senator. End of quote. Of course, she wanted to run for president. She likely figured the GOP would steal that election too, so she decided to sit out in 2004. Next quote by Hillary Clinton. That was during your 2008 campaign. I'll say it again. Quote, we have a lot of kids who just don't know what work means. They think work is a four-letter word. End of quote. I could think of some other four-letter words, but I try to stay away from that stuff on the show. End of quote by Heather Clinton. Quote, I believe that the rights of women and girls is the unfinished business of the 21st century. End of quote. Someone supposedly is educated or served, maybe lost track or a teleprompter. Apparently some of the country grammar infiltrator, a sentence she made important statement about gender inequality in the country. And apparently, she's not as far as she thinks she is, because she said, again, I'll call it here, quote, I believe the rights of women and girls is the unfinished business of the 21st century. Okay, next quote from Hillary Clinton, quote, the American people are tired of liars and people who pretend to be something they're not, end of quote. Well, it's an erotic thing for her to say. That's an actual quote from one of her many anti-G.O.P. speeches. Wouldn't it be a case of hot calling to Ken O'Clock, would it? Again, I'll quote that statement by Hillary Clinton. Quote, The American people are tired of liars and people who pretend to be something they're not. End of quote. I'm not making this up, folks. Next quote by Hillary Clinton. If I didn't kick his ass every day, he wouldn't be worth anything. End of quote. That of course, you probably know what they're talking about there. Hillary all but the smith or husband's political achievements. Shaking credit where it didn't belong. And I quote again, quote, really Clinton quote, if I didn't kick his ass every day, he wouldn't be worth anything. And the quote, and probably either would you Hillary just saying another quote by Hillary Clinton. I have to confess that has crossed my mind that you could not be Republican. and be a Christian." End of quote. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of Republicans who aren't Christian as well as many Democrats. Generalizations like this so large, there's a reason why the general public doesn't like you nearly as much. You think you're adored to be by your husband. Again, I say the quote, I have to confess that's crossed my mind that you could not be Republican and be a Christian. End of quote. Quote by Hillary Clinton. When Trump says something about a Muslim, he gets attacked endlessly, but you haven't heard that quote before, haven't you? Another quote by Hillary Clinton. This is about Brian Williams, actually, the same he made. A quote by Hillary Clinton says, quote, I remember landing under sniper fire, end of quote. Yeah, that was relating to Barry Williams. The only major public figure who made up colossal whoppers while being under enemy fire overseas. In 2008, Ann Adilah Hillary calls that an event that didn't happen during the trip in Bosnia in 1994, where she said, quote, I remember landing under sniper fire, end of quote. Too bad we can't suspend politicians the way NBC can suspend Brad Williams. Okay, another quote, and I can't say a famous quote by Billy Clinton, because you probably never heard of most of these. Another quote by Hillary Clinton, quote, he ran a gas station down in St. Louis. No, Mahatma Gandhi was a great leader of the 20th century, end of quote. Now that has to be said, of course, it was during a speech, he featured a quote by the legendary peacemaker, Mahatma Gandhi. Hillary Clinton apparently confused civil disobedience. with self-service stations, which she made her major spoof, her major goof spoof. And I say that again, quote, he ran a gas station down in St. Louis. No, Mahatma Gandhi was a great leader of the 20th century, end of quote. So Gandhi achieved peace in India by refusing to sell gas to the British then, right? Another quote by Hillary Clinton. Well, I'm not going to have some reporters pouring through our papers. We are the president." End of quote. Do you hear that? Let me say that again. We are not going to have some reporters plying through our papers. We are the president. Now that was during the height of Ken Star's overreacting investigation into Lewinsky affair. Hillary took a strong exception to the news media demanding paperwork regarding whitewater and Bill's various affairs. And she said, quote, I'm not going to have some reporters plying through our papers. We are the president. And that's why I call her Billery today. Another quote by Billery Clinton. Oh, I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas, but what I decided to do was fulfill my profession which I entered before my husband was in public life. That was in 1992, through a time delayed bomb into Bill's Candace campaign. She made a remark about many people the wrong way. So, some of the, we've spent equal time here, Donald Trump makes a lot of stupid things because of his foot and mouth syndrome, but as you see, Hillary has done so as well. Before I go, I wanted to briefly say some breaking news, which may or may not be something more to this or not. I'm just going to get some headlines as I start looking into this. Unfortunately, this is a developing story about Julian Assange. Now, Julian Assange, of course, as I stated last week on my program, you're seeing all this clipping off from... Trump and all the things that happen in his campaign that seems to be putting them down a couple of notches here and there. Well, the same thing is going to happen with Clinton because that's what they have to do. They have to create the illusion that there's a difference between a Republican and Democrat. They've got to keep the race kind of even so to make sure you still follow this race. It's all just a dog and pony show. So they have to lower Clinton down now a little bit or raise dramatically Trump, you know, statements like the the war war veteran at the Democratic Convention where the guy stands up there and says read this Constitution Donald well maybe Maybe he said that in the wrong place because of course Clinton hasn't read the Constitution doesn't know what it says either Doesn't follow it doesn't have any intention of following it's pretty ironic that they would pick a statement like that on their own convention because Bill or he has no intention of you either but of course now I haven't said that I'm surprised he didn't mention that but anyway Assange there's a there was a murder in DC A few weeks ago, right before the Democratic National Convention, let me do a brief synopsis of this. I don't have much time to get over this, but somebody named Seth Rich was murdered. Let's see, which is what you're talking about. Because this happened a few weeks ago, and I kind of missed the headlines because there may be a lot more to this. Such Rich, 27, was shot and killed while walking to his Washington, D.C. apartment last month, and his killing remains unsolved. Julia Sauns suggested this week, without evidence, that Rich played a role in leaking emails that showed Democratic National Convention officials disparaging the presidential campaign of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, the weak lead of, of course, the resignation for several DNC leaders. Now, Trump and others were hinting that it was the Russians that did it. And now, here comes Assange saying that it was this gentleman, Seth Rich, and maybe that was a reason for his murder. Now, the family is kind of up in arms about this. They're saying, stop spreading conspiracy theories about the death of our son. There may be a lot come up, because Julia Assange has stated... that he's going to release information about Hillary Clinton that could knock her down a few notches. And that's what I was getting at here. Well anyway, check out, watch this story. It's going to be developing over the next few weeks, possibly, into something much bigger. It's been Craig, Forbid Knowledge. Forbid Knowledge.info is the website. Thanks everybody for listening. So long. And speaking low to me, she said, We fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free, the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught. According to the state, you read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. 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 harass 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 Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he 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 tyrants trample each God given right we only watch and tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free and home the communist Commissars have taken the chickens out of your house All of the other animals are still inside, but look at what the communist commissars have done for you. You now have twit her to go dance around in and make a little noise. Meanwhile, the communists fret and nash of teeth, rinse of hair, and they have all the rest of the machine. It's kind of like the fake election. You can't fix the voting after you've trashed the voting machine and destroyed the foundation. Once you destroyed that, it's gone. The only thing that's gonna fix it, American War for Independence. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is the evening intelligence report time, our current game. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, southwest, north, northeast, and central. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org. And we are on satellite, we want to say hi to all of our merchant marine across all of the planet, the whole globe. And we are in a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside the United States. We want to say hi to our friends over there in Romania and in Serbia tonight, although it's waste night for them. And again, we have a number of micro FM stations that have been in service for quite a long time who pick us up during our hours here, especially in the evening hours. But it's much, much, much, much later for them. Actually, I guess earlier almost. But anyway, it is a beautiful. Weapons Wednesday, it is the 27th of April. It is the 14th year of open obvious and pissing in your face, Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist occupation of America with a K. 2022 old earth calendar, 2022 battle for the Republic, the dance of swords. A couple things I wanna talk about real quick here. You know, everybody wants a big hit. I mean, when it comes to weapons, everything is too much movie, not enough real life. Cumulative damage counts. And although it'd be nicer if you could have bigger and better, a lot of little does make a big difference. One of the things that was argued years ago is which would you rather be in? Let's say closer to intermediate range. M1 Abrams or say an M60A3 or a M113 packaged Vulcan minigun, air defense system. The 113, the Gavin was quite highly automotive, had good performance, still does. It's as good as any other vehicle on the planet, maybe better than many right now. But have you ever thought about what the whole package of 20 millimeter Vulcan hammering on a tank would do? It's like a bunch of maybe they're midgets, okay? But guys, tank guns can't take hits, do you know that? Everything that is on the inside and outside of a vehicle just like an aircraft is important. One of the things to remember is that a bunch of hits with lesser weapon systems, and I mean a bunch as in everybody's carrying something that goes boom, okay? We'll do just as much damage as in many cases, you know, a gun on target main gun round. In fact, maybe more. Optics, radio communications, and even the gun systems themselves, the barrels are totally susceptible to all fires. Nobody's taught you that, okay? But I want you to think about something. Have you seen a Vulcan mini gun, a Vulcan 20-millimeter air defense gun fire? The idea was if you were set upon by an MDT main battle tank, would you try to run? Well, yeah, probably your commander told the driver turn, turn, turn, turn, but there's no sense in thinking you're gonna move faster than that main tank gun. So you're better bet if you were at intermediate or close range, you'd be just to wing that barrel around and dump everything you've got on that tank. might not even have to do that. In fact, it's most likely the gunner would have to actually take a short breath in between a few bursts simply because of the amount of debris, junk and detritus and damage being done. You kind of got to sort it out to make sure you can stay on target. You don't want to spit any bullets over top of anything. You want to keep it in, you know, that just center of mass. You want to virtually pepper the turret area. You want to do damage to anything and everything that makes the vehicle work. Can't talk to somebody else if there's nothing left on the roof that hooks up to the radio. Optics are completely obliterated slash destroyed. Fire control could be completely destroyed. And a 20 millimeter round through a gun tube, she's finished. Don't pull the trigger. You'll find out you do more damage internally than you will ever do to anybody down range. Now, this is something that's never talked about because as people resist, we're all gonna die, etc, etc. When I'm talking a cumulative example is, for instance, it's actually antique, the RPG-2, okay? But what if instead of the idea of just getting rid of stuff, you just hang on to it and give it out to the troops, utilize it no matter what? Rifle grenades, 40 millimeter grenade launchers, those aren't real super powerful, but everything hurts. And the idea is hurt and move, hurt and move. But what about 200 men? What about a company, 150 men? All of them with a rifle grenade launcher, every rifle has, every one of your M16s does have rifle grenade capability. Probably don't realize that. If you have 150 people with an Energa or even just a lighter duty, but armor penetrating capable rifle grenades, not gonna go through the body of the armor of the tank, we don't expect that. But it will chew stuff up. If you have everybody engaging a target with everything that they've got, and by the way, we're just talking shoulder fired, shoulder launch weapon systems alone. It's like a poor man's cat, Yushika, from all directions centering on a target. And the idea is that, for instance, there's a bunch of other ideas out there. Well, you know, like the different anti-tank defense systems. kosher mafia stole that from us. And of course, now they're marketing it themselves as they do everything else. They steal from the US or from Europe, especially from the Germans. But the fact of the matter is that it can be overwhelmed. Any defense system, offense or defense, there are always counter solutions. But in this case, Rather than thinking you need one really big or intermediate medium-sized whatever you use those but everything else comes in first Everything is designed to eat up or saturate Any kind of defensive weapon system that is put up there to stop you from getting in That's how you do it and not only that but everything and anything it gets in there One of the discussions that nobody has is reactive armor, for instance, and there are many variations on that. Even defense systems that are HE type, but designed to counter-thrust, say anti-tank ground coming in. At close proximity, some damage is done to the vehicle. Most people don't realize that. It's a tank, I mean the crew's safe, better than having a hole put in the side of you if it's something really big. But when you're talking about like an Energa, or you're talking about even mortar routes, you dump everything on target, you throw everything at it you got. Now, this is the traditional American anti-tank policy that existed throughout World War II. We've always joked, you see that saving Ryan's privates at the end where the Tigers coming at him and he pulls up that 45 and he starts just keeps fighting. He keeps fighting, he keeps fighting. What good is that 45 gonna do against the tank? Well, the vision slots and everything else, everybody was taught. This was the philosophy that again is not reinforced by any discussion except with historians. Is if you could put a bullet on target, know where to put the bullet and if you had something bigger, use it. Get out of the way, use it, shoot and scoot, shoot and scoot, shoot and scoot. Continue to constantly decimate, harass, fracture, break. Continue to do damage. Cumulative damage with any kind of system. It's worse if you're in the air. That's what air defense is all about. But with anti-vehicular or anti-armour, the idea is to plan ahead but constantly embrace the idea that you have weapon systems, use them. But use them in force. Provide them in force. You know who doesn't want you to provide what we want to be provided with stuff. It's like Ukraine government giving its troops 10 rounds or whatever. Is the bean counters who have stolen all the crap from behind the bookkeeping. And the money that should have gone to your ammunition or gone to all of your weapon systems and gone to your army has been stolen by a bunch of yamical wearing pieces of trash behind the lines. And the equipment, the money never gets to where it's supposed to be and the equipment never gets to the troops. That's just happened with the Ukraine. Nobody, of course, nobody else can talk about it, but it's the idea that that's exactly what's happened. And it happens all the time. The whole idea we've talked about before about the idea behind reducing your firepower, your consumption, because it costs money to buy bullets for your troops. So let's figure out how to, well, give you less of an ability to be able to project that strength. Now granted, there's also philosophy and discipline involved and understanding and knowing how to take advantage of the different abilities of the different people that you have, which is what a whole combined arms team within the squad and the platoon is all about. But everybody, everybody, everybody is an anti-vehicular slash anti-armor operator and should be. not just with a mall like a dragon or any of the other stuff that's out there right now, not just with a tow or hellfire. Those are used too, but rather a complete and deep spectrum of anti-vehicular slash HE and AP type weapon systems that progressively do more and more damage to the equipment. Small breakages add up. Like I said, in fact, as we pointed out, in this day and age, For all of you having to deal with the armor threat, the fire control box on the roof should be the target of anything and everything that has any armor penetrating potential whatsoever. Here's one thing I would point out too. Our optics and our sighting systems have supposedly improved. So in reality, we have the equivalent to, for instance, the main gun on a Bradley. is confused almost like a sniper rifle at 1000, 2000, hello, even to 3000 yards if the gunner's had time on his gun. If he had time on the equipment, he can pop off one, two, or three rounds and actually keep them within a human sized silhouette quite comfortably. Which means that taking the same firepower and pointing it at something critical, much like we did, which is unspoken things that aren't talked about in Desert Dust One, for instance. Personnel were sent out with the advance or forward elements with Barrett 50 caliber rifles with depleted uranium 50 caliber rounds. What was their purpose? To literally spike by shooting the barrels of resting artillery pieces that were part of the forward artillery batteries that had been deployed by the Iraqis. No, they didn't use artillery all the time. They didn't need to. In fact, this was much cheaper. And with the possibility of gun crews who were taking cover during threat periods, not knowing that the gun tube had been compromised, which means when they pull the lanyard and the gun goes off, that's the last time that gun crew worries about anything in this mortal coil. Boom, right there where the gun rests. This is something they don't wanna tell you about. You can't shoot their gun, that's not fair. But if I can do that with an Iraqi artillery piece, can't I also do that with an American or a Russian or a German gun tube on a main battle tank? If I find something resting, wouldn't it make sense if I had the armor penetrating capability of a number of different weapon systems that I would focus my fires so that I would eliminate the ability of that vehicle and do harm? It could still move. Still has a coaxial gun. I mean it could do some 762 damage. You can do some 50 caliber damage off the roof. But guess what? My next admission after I knock out or can perforate or do damage to both the main tube fire control optics would be the attachment or the ancillary weapon systems that are on board. In other words, I'm going to dump more stuff in that area where that M2 or that 50 caliber remote gun is on the roof. I'm going to do damage to it. It will cease to be an issue. I might have a dinosaur running around on the battlefield and it can do die. I don't want to get hit by it. Don't want to get run over by it. Generally, I want to get bumped by it. But guess what? It's if it's a blind dinosaur, it can spin around in circles all at once, but it's not exactly the threat it was before I engaged it. None of this is things that they want to teach you or they throw in the movie. I can't do that because they don't want you to think that way. But Our onboard fire control and our optic, the performance of the optics that we presently have on so many weapons systems would certainly allow for this to be done. Make it possible. Also again, with multiple formations of infantry combined with light armor and MDTs, in other words, a combined arms team with also supporting indirect fires. This type of this technique especially utilizing every infant remand as an anti tank gunner With what with every and any and all types of systems available is Devastating which is they can't argue they can't argue and it's true. It's just bottom line You just beat the system by numbers and I I guess the best example just for for frame of The thought process you're framing your mind. I think the most Dynamic action I saw in Desert Dust 1 or 2 was something that nobody wants to remember. The lie that we didn't lose any Abrams is one of the biggest lies of Iraq 1 and Iraq 2. Okay, but especially Iraq 2 because they kept pumping that garbage up. They needed more tread heads. We need more people to sign up, go to their deaths. So to do that, you have to lie to people. And of course the line like care about the thing with Ukraine. All the Russians are losing everything and all the Ukrainians, we don't need to know what they've, why aren't losing anything? Yeah, and I'm a Chinese ship pilot named Lao Zi. So it's the same lie different day. But let me point something out. There was a, when the Battle for Baghdad was taking place, this is where we've gone across the bridges. We, they were the biggest battle. They didn't want to talk about it all. The Battle for the bridges. We got our ass kicked there. And they don't wanna tell anybody about it. And we lost a bunch of Abrams there. But that particular, that was conventional where you had tank ambushes, three, four Abrams in a row killed one after another after another. And well documented by the way, photographed and videoed. The photographs speak for themselves. Three Abrams, one after another after another, each about three tank lengths apart, all three dead in the street burners. Burn to burn to the to the drive drive track. Okay. So anyway, there's a scene and it's the typical highways over highway overpasses like you see everywhere in the world in this case This is one just outside on the edge of the downtown area of Baghdad and this Abrams turns around and does one of those fast skid zero G turns that the driver normally wouldn't be allowed to do and tears the shit out of your tracks and And he goes running down to this intersection because obviously they've reported that there was some infantry, Iraqi infantry down there. And the Abrams comes right up to what looks to me to be about 100, maybe at the most 150 feet away from the bridge, big mistake. But the logic was they're driving a big dinosaur, they're impervious, it's a funeral resist, you're going to die. And for whatever reason, there was a kid down there, and I don't know if he was the guy my age or he was some kid. I can imagine it being a highly motivated younger soldier, which would really be the kicks. And when that Abrams came in, the gun elevated and you saw a book in the front of the of the Abrams, something hit it. And what it was is the kid down the other end, who knows what he had on his shoulder, but it was a he was an anti tank gunner. And it was not something carriage mounted. It wasn't that big. It was foot carried and he fired and he it was a kill shot on that Abrams. Dust and smoke in the front typically is generated even if it's not a penetrating hit, but this was a penetrating effective hit. Obviously, maybe near the turret ring, could have been again by the gun itself. But what happens is the Abrams starts belching smoke. The commander's cupola, how many of you remember this? Maybe some of you saw this. The commander's cupola pops open and the commander sticks his head out, it doesn't look right. And the commander turns and he's got a chunk. Now imagine a chunk of steel or something twice the length of your hand. Lay your hand flat, but as tall as your hand and it's stuck into his head and the helmet. And it's like it's lop, it's to the right side of his head on a really weird angle and it's jammed right into him. It's like somebody chopped him with a hatchet or like a samurai sword and lost a chunk of the big, big, big blade. The commander crawls out of the hatch, rolls over the back of the turret, sits right there for a second, then rolls, you know, then crawls over to the edge of the back of the Abrams and then falls to the rear and then plops himself down right in front of one of the tracks in the rear of the track and sits up there and passes out. Meanwhile, the loader, when apparently also maybe the driver, has worked because the driver is either he's dead or he's eventually going to work his way out. But another crewman comes up through the loader's hatch. And he rolls over the back and he rolls to the back of the vehicle and then he turns and he tries to help the commander. Obviously he's trying to see if he's still alive. And they quickly fade to another, they quickly shoot to another shot after this, because of course it was supposed to be a glorious kill by an Abrams. And it ended up being a complete burner kill with an infantryman, or again, an anti-tank operator. with a shoulder fired man portable weapon of some kind and he put it in the right place at the right time and that Abrams went down. And in fact that Abrams progressively was consumed. It was burning internally, munitions, equipment, whatever it was that he got it going, it just kept right on burning. But we didn't lose any Abrams in Iraq, don't you know? In Desert Dust 1 or 2, don't you know that? We didn't lose any Abrams, but I can recount and watch. I physically remember myself watching all of the footage because of all the embedded imagery and they wanted to show it because it was supposed to be glorious victory. And instead there are a lot of images that they did not repeat because it didn't show glorious victory with no losses instead it was the real world. Yeah, I remember when they claimed that. And the big thing about it is again, this is you know, it's unrealistic. But it's the kind of thing that people who don't have experience love to hear, okay? The real world is tit for tat on the battlefield. I've always told you before this, first of all, remember is the fickle finger of fate. Protects you sometimes, tags you in others, and sometimes it's when you least expect it. For you, you're just in the right place the wrong time. Accept that instead of this gnashing of teeth and running of hair. What I've always thought about when I watch it is the way that kid probably felt after he fired that shot and did what he planned on doing. You can do that and you don't get the end result you want and he also probably lose your life. But maybe he did die, might have been the last thing he did. He might have nailed that Abrams. And then it's like, dude, I'm out of here. And that's it, something else got him. But they sent that big butt, big ass, 70 ton MDT after those infantry, cuz it'd be fun to hunt them down. And it turns out they had some teeth in return and did their job. Well, fickle finger of fate works that way. So it's not futile to resist. And again, remember, it's purely a matter of you getting motivated that determines how well you'll do in any situation, but especially in a fighting situation like this. You may not have the best, but as long as you know how to apply what you've got, you can get the job done. You can accomplish the mission. So again, one of the things I've recommended is your should be your goal is understanding and the use of rifle grenades. understanding and the use of and what bothers me is that we're in the 21st century. The CNC technology has gotten to the point where things are just dirt cheap. I don't know why we don't have an M203 40 millimeter grenade launcher under every every M16 out there. There's no reason not to and it would be again imagine. And I imagine the biggest problem is remember when you've got a bunch of boyboys trying to steal you blind They've got a trillion dollars coming in they're gonna spend a few billion on you The other rest of that trillion goes into their back pockets and ends up in Haifa Tel Aviv or Beijing as somebody's private bank account but otherwise 40 millimeter grenade launcher times 150 some men in a unit Anytime that you need to call on with basically is like pocket artillery slash poor man's cat yusuka a poor man's saturation bombardment. Think about that. How devastating would that be? Lamar, we can't have 40 millimeter grenades, but we can have 37 millimeter flare launchers, right? Well, that's for the, yeah, that's for us civilians, for the peasants, you know, but there again, for the military, that 40 mill is the norm. My point is that again, just looking at the, looking at this from the modern perspective, this is the 21st century. Of course, don't tell me about lasers and ray guns. I don't need to hear that. But the weapon systems that we're talking about, they've been perfected. Production has been brought down to the least minimal cost. And there's no reason for all this to be available. But rifle grenades are, again, you combine that with the other weapons that you have. and mortar fire and yes, all the other modern anti-tank weapons, this enhances their condition. You don't want this to be a real simple dance. You want this to be as intricate and complicated as possible for your enemy when it comes to them having to run, dodge, and jump to try and get out of the way of whatever you're doing. By doing that, you create more difficulty in them being able to perform their mission and in the dance of swords, because that's what it's all about. The idea is that with your combinations, you make the kill. But I don't care what it is. I mean, the same idea. This is a trick, by the way, that the SF taught everybody years ago. Raider units understand two full magazines of ammunition and two grenades. When you attack the whole unit attacks and you expend two complete magazines, just burn them. Anything that looks like a target, you dump rounds on. You throw a grenade or you launch a laws rocket. Then you fire another magazine, then everybody, you throw another grenade or you launch another laws rocket. Times one, two, three, 400 people or maybe I would say a battalion of irregular infantry. You absolutely command the environment for a set amount of time because it is just absolutely overwhelming. Now you're not taught that. Everything is conservation. I do have believe in conservation. We don't waste munitions. But understand that if you are going to go in against a particular threat, the idea is to be so devastating. What have I said before? You want to be so devastating that nothing but a rumor of the destruction of your enemy returns to where it came from. Be it you engaging a garrison. a security point, a supply or munitions point, whatever you're doing when you go in. Again, that kind of vast weapons support all at once, that focus of energy all at once, is a stunning blow in a combat operation. And it's been successful time and time and time again, which is why you're not supposed to be thinking about it. Now it doesn't mean that, well that's all you got, no I am, oh and if you didn't make it, it's time to turn around and run. No, it means that that's your initial blunting, that's the initial blow that blunts the ability of your enemy to respond. Then all the rest of your actions are surgical. And then depend upon fire team leaders, squad leaders, and the management of the platoon commander to get those fire teams and squads where they need to be. And to instruct the individuals who are the NCOs and the junior officers, so that they can manage and exploit on their own targets of opportunity. The dynamics of being able to win, first of all, has to do with attitude. Then obviously training, and you will train as you will fight so that you will fight as you have trained. And you will accomplish the mission, you will succeed, okay? Not necessarily gonna find out with the crappy garbage we see nowadays from most of the militaries especially ours going you know pink panty waste the way it is but Guys, that's not us. So I'm not worried about that problem from for from their perspective with us We need to be looking at solutions. One of the things to remember again We're not changing our munitions. We're adding to the inventory this 6.8 government round We should have everything about it understood before the military gets it. This is America, we're better than, first of all, we got the thinkers, the government got the stinkers, okay? So with that being the case, there isn't any aspect of what we're looking at here that we can't improve upon. And right away, we don't want the bollocks to up-sig garbage that's been generated. We need to simplify and we need to solidify. The design that meets our specifications and serves our purpose with regard to productivity, reliability, and final performance, and again, execution of action. So, got a lot of work to do. And that's one of those little projects that now is in motion, it's gonna happen. It's fun, it's kind of a race. I guarantee we will have an operating equivalent, but superior to and simpler than the punk and junk piece of crap that the government's probably gonna spend. I don't even know what they're spending per rifle yet on that thing. If the Marine Corps is spending $3,000, $200, $300, $600 per weapon for the Marines, When we have been buying an AR-15M16 type platform for how many years for how many hundred dollars? Are we getting better because of this? No, no, we're just we're just getting screwed. So I can imagine that since this is a SIG rifle, we're really getting screwed. So my assumption is here right off the bat, we'll probably be able to build five to six to seven, 6.8 government pattern rifles for the price of one of their SIG Punkajunks. And they'll function just as well. And we'll have it before they do and we'll have it in comparable numbers if we choose to Which I don't know that I'm not excited about the round But again, there are better or there are better performing rounds out there that will that are not as complicated And get the job done just as well with existing and simpler weapons platforms weapons designs And that's what we need to be focusing on right now. So anyway on that note, I will remind you again I've got to do this for this hour too. I've got a lot of requests about SKS, especially what is it, the Model 66, in whatever configuration doesn't make any difference. As far as parts go, because I know some people have little widget parts that were kind of tired, first I would go to and check to see what might be useful if you have an SKS and you're needing parts. And I'm answering some questions, some of them came in as emails. go to aim surplus dot com aim surplus dot com a I am surplus dot com then punch in when you get there as a search s cast parts you will find a bunch of different parts that pop up I don't know what they have left it's if people have been buying there from there for quite a few years but they started out with quite a collection and they still have some pretty good prices and they still have some useful parts there something you might need okay the next step Next place I would go to, excuse me, is gunpartscorp.com, gunpartscorp.com, gunpartscorp.com. Now some items are sold out with the Nascast parts there completely and have been for a little while, but not everything. So you want to go check Gun Parts Corp. Now one of the more aggressive parts acquiring companies out there right now is Apex Gun Parts, Apex Gun Parts, apexgunparts.com. They have a mix of stuff out there in the inventory including replacement magazines, most of the smaller parts, and a lot of the widget parts that not everybody carries. Example are springs and or some of the levers slash pins that are for the for the odd small parts out. A lot of people are eating up that inventory, but Apex has been collecting a lot of stuff recently. I don't know who they're contracting with as far as who they're picking it up from. I assume the Israelis for some of the stuff, but some of the stuff has come out of the Western Pacific also. And I think Ethiopia, Ethiopia still has a ton of stuff that's even dropping into the market and the US government's letting it come in. So that's another solution. And then of course, Sarco. And Sarco does have a lot of different stuff in inventory. You're typically, look at the basic postings, but understand they do not list everything they have. Sarco is a big, but parts company. They have tunnels full of stuff. Caves, tunnels, you know, old mine tunnels, they have storage all over the place where that business is located. And every once in a while, they move stuff around and they find something again. So if you're looking for particular parts, you may want to get through to them by email and you tell them what you want and get in a conversation. And of course, if you're lucky, they'll let you call like they used to and they'll be out in the parts inventory looking for the stuff and you'll hear them rattling around and looking through things while they're talking to you. Okay. And that's Sarco. How good they are about that now. I don't know what the boys have done since I think it was taken over by another part of the family. But you can try them and see how things work out and again the SKS is a fine rifle carried heartbeat You give me one I'll use it and I'll make it work right because I know how to use it Okay, and it won't be well. You something else. No you give me that SKS somebody else seems to have a problem with that you give me this case I'll take that It'll work just fine. Okay But anyway, the 66, the Yugos are the latest. There are many other SKS types that are out there. But the most common for the spare parts are for the 66, as far as for weapons specific or weapons centric for that particular design. Because there are a few parts and pieces on each of the SKS's that are a little different. Doesn't mean that most of them are not interchangeable, but there are variations on the build, okay? So next, cover the SKS. Also, over at Bear Creek Arsenal, they got a couple of things on sale, you know how they do that. BearCreekArsenal.com and also Palmetto. I haven't mentioned a little bit again, but Palmetto had a couple of really good deals on uppers and also complete rifles. I think both of the companies have done this. They've come up with about a 350 to $360. air 15 16 inch barrel carbine length gas system M lock front you know for grip with a some kind of optic usually a red dot on the roof but right now Bear Creek Arsenal has one that they've got listed in their in their special section and Palmetto State Army has some armory has something similar Palmetto State Armory Again, this is with an alloy lower receiver. Both of them have an aluminum lower, aluminum upper, and they work. So they're definitely serviceable enough. Also, one other question here. Go ahead, Connor, we got you. Just a question I wonder about. Have there been any SPS produced here? I don't think any... Nobody has done one that I know of, there was a discussion about doing it. Well, I'll tell you when the last discussion took place, and they were really serious about it, is when they blocked the SKS's from coming in, but they let them cut them up. Now, when they first did that, what they were doing, remember the Chinese SKS's that came in in the last waves were literally brand new guns built from existing inventory parts. This is why, if you remember guys, when the Chinese SKS were coming in in the later stages, about 50% were pinned to barrels. The reason is that literally the Chinese, the Chinese had finished production of the SKS, they just had millions and millions of them in inventory. They'd given millions to Africa, and they'd also sold quite a few of them to other countries. But what happened is when America put such interest in the SKS, the Chinese started several of their factories up to build parts. And since they did this, the first thing that they did is they ate up all of the inventory of existing rifles, which is why you saw screwed barrels and pin barrels. You also saw mixed part but with proper serial numbers because they were both machined and and stamped parts on what should have either been a milder stamped gun. Well, they're military production and the countries don't waste things. But in this case, they just did it on the fly. And what's interesting is those guns are not incorrect. They're not parts guns that we made. Most everybody makes or some people have made that mistake. I've noticed with some of the latest writings. A lot of those SKS's were put together when the big companies that were importing the rifles, one of them was Midwest right here in Michigan out of Detroit. They did millions of SKS's. They were one of the people that broke the door and got in in the early stages. And the cost on those rifles was $9 to $11 apiece, their cost. You think about that. And that was for virtually a new rifle. Remember when the US cases first were offered they were painted blacks over the a case they had to cut the bayonet log off They were painted black because they thought that's what Americans wanted were black rifles When everybody was trying to find their Vietnam vets were trying to find the weapons that were copies of what they were up against in Vietnam because they wanted one They couldn't bring one back during the war, but they could probably find one and pick it up and put it on the wall Yeah from the Chinese. Well, the Chinese learned real quick that we didn't want black painted rifles So they then start bringing their conventionals first the used inventory and then they start going through the warehouses when the guys went over there they went to the factories and Because of that the first wave were if they weren't finished weapons They were being literally built right in front of the guys while they were you know in reviewing what they were purchasing So a lot of your SKS were virtually new. Now, when they stopped doing that, we still could have taken and grabbed the rifles for $9 to $11 apiece, guys, depending on which factory, well, which communists you bought them from because they're different industrial districts. But if you bought enough of them, it came down to $9. So you think about it, you could have bought, done like they were doing with all the rest of the parts kits, you can buy a brand new SKS for $9. Make an American receiver over here Bring that SKS in have them take all the parts off chop up the receiver who gives a shit about that and For $9 you have all the finished parts for an SKS But the next thing the Chinese realizes that we were buying these guns with serious play in other words yet We were playing with them, but we were buying buying them to get ready to go to war Now in the hands of some unskilled individual doesn't have a clue what to do with any weapon that wouldn't be a big deal But with us we take our firearms seriously here very different world And they just upgraded our arsenal and inventory dramatically without us spending hardly any money at all in the process. They shifted a significant military presence They didn't like that So all those SKS parts that were still sitting there that could have been purchased as kits or the SKS rifles were frozen and the rest is history. But for a very short time when they stopped bringing the full rifles in as FFL items that you could sell, the argument was to buy the rifles, cut them up, cut up the receivers, take the brand new barrels and the brand new everything. And there were three different American companies that were looking at making the SKS. What killed the project is that they finally froze exports of the SKS from China. The rest of the way, had they not done that, we would have had a couple of American made, probably CNC produced, all machined from billet SKS receivers that all those parts would have gone on. The projects were in motion. The problem was just the economics. If we had to make every part here, the weapon, as everybody said, would cost $3, $4, $500 a gun, at least. Instead, we were buying them for $56 apiece, and they were virtually brand new manufactured in many cases. It could be used. It got used as cases for that price too. But the last batches that I bought, which were 30 rifles to a case, Half of them were the tropical stocks, virtually brand new consecutive serial number with the chest pouches, the slings, the oilers, everything was in the case. And we paid $56 a rifle. And I think we bought six, seven cases of those one after another. So think about it. Again, had they blocked it in that way, the American made receiver would have been the solution, but it would have been bad ass because they could have even incorporated. One of the proposals was even to incorporate and machine into the receiver a rail type slide scope mount like you see on the SVD and now all the AKs have. Had they done that, it would have been a really neat American feature. And it just didn't happen because the parts just faded out. So it doesn't mean you couldn't get some, just couldn't get what you wanted to justify a production run is the problem. Once it got to the lower numbers, it was not considered feasible. So yes, the people wanted to very, very much. And it would have been kind of neat, an American made 41. Yeah, that would be great. I bet we could have brought that price down a bit less than that. $400 or $500 with our manufacturing technique. So, well, yeah. Well, the big thing is there are things we would have done that would have made it a lot simpler. I mean, I would not have put any plastic on it, but they're even proposing some parts could have been made in plastic. In theory, the magazine could be made in a ballistic plastic. The 410 round standard folder. That was actually where everybody wanted to go initially. And if you wanted to change it out, you could. And again, the logic behind that is that no matter what they tried to come up with, the SKS with a 10 round mag wouldn't fit any of the other restrictions that were popping up because of the Gun Control Act and everything else that had been passed by the communists. Yeah, with the Clintonistas and Bush promoting it too. So, it's one of those things where it would have been an interesting package, especially with the scope mount fixture. That would have made it a little, like I said, we did build up a bunch of SKS's, made them what we call baby dragon offs. No, they're not super long range, but they did look cool. Skeletized stocks. 20 inch barrel, we used it in one of the stretch, they don't have them, they don't bring them anymore, but it was the long basket, looks like an M14 type basket, attachable flash hider that went on the SKS. And needless to say, you've got the Chinese dust cover type machine to scope mounts, and by the time you're done, it's a nice little package, it's a nice little counter rifle, and good for coming all three, 400 yards. The cartridge is not as tough, but guess what? It still work. It did work. We've got a bunch of them. We built a bunch of them. But with that scope mount fixture built in, oh, there's all kinds of neat things you could have done with that that would have been apropos with the AK junk coming in. So it would have been a lot of fun. Anyway, ideas, not just complaining about the problems here, but history. Another thing is, Again, if you're gonna build an AR, I recommend you do it sooner rather than later. Everybody heard the guns and gadgets piece we played during the two hour block. Hopefully, if not, go to the latest guns and gadget video with regard to going after the 80% receivers. May, of course, do ruling, which as we know, it's communist, it's illegitimate, but the communists are in power. Which means Obama and his crew It's not very very Satoro is the one doing this not not bite biteness a turd. He's an idiot and basically a meat puppet Okay, he's not he's not been running this they run the show since he got in there It's Obama and it's been Obama that's been the problem and the calling with the kosher mafia out of northern Chicago and the kosher mafia out of Israel That's what's causing our problems here right now and has been for a long time and the Chinese are pitching in so The big thing here again, if you're gonna do the 80 percenters, find what you can, but a lot of places have already dried up and have eaten up their inventory and they're gone. And I don't see any solution. Nothing's gonna be replaced on the horizon because the companies that are still have inventory, they have no problem selling what they've got. So it's gonna be catch as catch, Ken. However, I will still tell you, and I'll repeat this many, many times. Your best investment is upper receivers right now and whatever, take your pick, whatever you want to invest in. I recommend that if you got a 5.56, get a 7.62 by 39 and get a 300 blackout. If you have a 300 blackout by God, get a 5.56 upper receiver for that rifle ASAP. Cheapest for the mostest, but the idea is it's like golf clubs. You just pop two pins and you can switch the gun out. The advantage, you'll be able to cover more calibers. which means you're not likely to run out of ammunition. I don't have any problem with the 300 blackout. I don't have a problem with any gun that shoots. Even the government garbage coming out, if it was some sidebar project, who'd care? But the fact that they're screwing America, they know they're screwing us coming through the door with this piece of SIG tripe there and they've come up with its junk. It's a foreign gun, what a surprise. We had no business buying it, but we worked our stuff. How much would you guess that they're going to be charging for that SIG? I'm thinking at least five grand. Well, at least three because we know that that's the market range that they accepted with the, you know, the HKAR that the Marine Corps bought. So at the very least, you know, 32, 38, maybe more. There's already a bunch of other guns that are available in theory might have been able to handle the, you know, the issue of, you know, the new round, but The new round is, you know, an answer to a question that was not asked. Or it isn't necessary. That's the thing that gets me about this. What you have are people doing it's for the sake of grossly overcomplicating something. And in the process being able to pocket and steal more money from the American taxpayer. That's what this is all about. It has nothing to do with superior performance. It has nothing to do with being a better weapon system. And in fact, it's a crap. Ooh, 21st century is what it is. Hey Mark, huffy. Go ahead, call her. Yeah, this is Tex McSay, but don't forget, Sig did give us that sweet deal on the M17 and M18 side on that pistol, that plastic, you know, basically a Glock. They beat out Glock for that and they supposedly really undercut Glock, so they gave us a good deal on the pistols. Yeah, what are we paying on a pistol? Well, they'd be blocked. That's all I know. Yeah, right. It should be about a, okay. It's plastic and metal and mostly plastic. They've had the molds for decades. Uh, the basic idea for decades. The gun should cost us military about $68, 110, maybe 110 member lowest bidder, $110, you know, because we'll, we'll allow for them making a, they'll make a profit. They'll make a profit in the long run no matter what, but You know that ain't the case. You know what's fascinating to me is if you look at what we have paid for specific shoulder fired weapon shoulder arms, you know, and what happened here, I'd love to see the graft, the graft, the graph, not graft, graft and corruption. I'd love to see the graph on cost per individual arm. We have spent good money and on highly effective performing weapon systems at different times. The Springfield was a vast step above its counterpart, Mauser. And mostly where the big change was in the firing pin and the idea that we had a detachable front firing pin step so that we didn't have to replace the whole firing pin, but rather just the striker assembly in the front. In addition to that, the sites, the sites were everything. That's where we spent the money. And the 1903 Remington that I have is a three-time governor's match winner here in Michigan. It is a standard 03 straight, but it's the last of the 03 straights built 1942 by Remington, January or February, right after Pearl Harbor. The quality of the weapon surpasses any of its counterparts, anything for that era. And yet, already we were going to the Garand. But we got our money's worth, so to speak. And it was an American made weapon and we employed Americans. And the money stayed in America because we spent it on an American company. This garbage here just flat out treason by all these these phlegm heads slash tutu wearing red Dorothy slipper parasites that we have in the Pentagon. Not one of them pretty much deserves the job except if deserve means that well they Qualified by stating that they'd betray the American people in the US military to the communist Chinese and that's their qualification Well, then maybe they did qualify under those standards, but that's all And ain't nothing nothing we could wealth. Not only we can do is save ourselves We can save the country, but we have to not count on those who have betrayed us to do anything other than wage war against us, which is what they're planning on doing. So you would best be ready to save your family, save your country, save our liberty and freedom by being willing to fight an American war for independence to get the job done. And kill the Chinese will be right behind them, cuz they're gonna be riding with the Chinese by the time they're done. That's not an if, that's just a win. Or for that matter any other foreign power because one of the things I will say is guys don't forget We've talked about the three different tiers of perception what you think is going on is tier one Oh, we're fighting the Russians No, not really and then tier two is where you find out about these rook type moves where you have you think that you're selling you know You've got this really super wonderful idea weapon, you know or technology and it goes sideways and to the left and then back to the right and And all of a sudden it turns out that the stuff you built and invented is in the hands of your enemy and being used to kill your dad or your brother or your cousin. Step three is where they throw all the veil away and you get to find out that those Germans will stand right next to the Russians, will stand right next to the ring knocking American skanks that are the traitors, and they will all help to kill you. standing side by side though 15 minutes ago they were told that we're all war and you're gonna be killing everybody that's scam that they've played for years but we're on the edge of the next game and that's why we need to be ready for it way ahead of the curve here there's no reason to get caught flat-footed by the way don't forget you got to go to Twitter and get back on if you haven't been on Twitter before go get on Twitter and just load that puppy up with all the information on how to go somewhere else I have full confidence in the freedom of the yuck yuck yuck Twitter scam. Instead, let's treat it like the red-headed stepchild that's always been and still will be, along with the rest of the fake-ass, you know, supposed conservative media that isn't. And work accordingly towards a goal. And the goal is to save the country. Also, by the way, we need to close the southern border. We all know that. And I'll always comment on that area if we can. We're at the top here. Everybody got blood?
