This war, their law helped us run it to planted corn bark until the colonies were done. They looked around once and who we would be proud of. They knew that now they'd run there. But George the Third still vowed he'd rule them to the end. Anything I say, do it my way. Anything I say, do it my way. Don't you get the feeling and I'm gonna force you to all that. He taps and give them a figure. Walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat and speaking low to me, he said, we fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land 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 from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God-given right we only watch in 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? Block for all of our people in Pennsylvania who apparently at least half of them are so stupid that they do not speak English but rather speak Democrat gibberies So we hope that we are being inclusive with Democrat, you know, jibberies and then we'll continue. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the first hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I have our courtesy one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, Northeast, West, South, Southeast. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. LibertyTreeRadio.org. And we are on satellite. We'll say hi to all of our friends out there. We're channeling every ocean. Also, Harboring and Anchorage is and, it's to say, inland. So we thank you very much for that. We're also in a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside. Outside these United States CV channel 27 is active right now in another test. We have a second CB base station in the area of operation which been for Nyan now 35 plus years. I think it's actually longer than that. Before we did Patriot broadcasting in the form that we do now, which by the way, the Republic Ray was picked up years ago. A lot of people were doing CD, Patriot, rebroadcasting or broadcasting from the Sun Radio Network, S-U-N. Give credit where credit's due. I don't know if everybody remembers and I don't even know if Sun Radio Network is still out there. If somebody can correct me if it is, Sun, S-U-N Radio Network. So anyway, well, they're rebroadcasting Liberty Tree Radio now, which we appreciate. And for everybody out there, it is. It's the day after the fake election day. It is the 9th of November, 50-50 day, where every time you have an election, 50-50, 50-50, 50-50, 50-50, 50-50, and 50-50. Plus or minus by so many points to create the illusion that the scam elections in any way, shape, or form might actually be demi-functional and they're not, okay? It is weapons Wednesday. It is the 14th year of open obvious and 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 sorts. There's only a couple of places in the fake collection where the numbers were quite realistic. One of them was with the guy they want to challenge Trump to get an infighting game going so they can waste a lot of energy to send us. You actually saw a 60-40 split, my God, no way. Now, to be quite honest, if I see like 60-40 and you say, well, it was a landslide, but I'm pretty close. Closer than, the chemicals won by 51, it was a landslide, it was a tremendous, no, it's not, that's a lie. Realistically, only the, if you look, only the races that were close are where pretty much the ring knockers are trying to create conflict for, in other words, you're planning ahead. And so the DeSantis Trump supposed conflict, which may or may not be ironed out, and they'll figure out by flipping a coin maybe who's gonna be VP and who would be president, right? It should be the older but- Well, wouldn't be the first time that they did something where they put the former president. Well, this gets to be kind of tough, the former president in the backseat. But it would be kind of weird. Oh, there's all kinds of funny stuff that the ring knockers and the Jewish mob could do with that though. So anyway, other than that, 50-50 this, 50-50 that, 50-50, 50-50, 49, 49-51, 52-48. Let's see, 51-51, wait a minute, no, they can't do that. Sure they can, why not? Who would care anymore? Maybe it was 51-51, it was a tie, but that's 102%. Shut up. You vote denier, should be 125%. You just, you view bastard out there trying to expect anything other than fake elections slash scam. So anyway, that's all done. all the jigalooie and all the other garbage you're going to stretch out is so that they can buy time to figure out a stuff more balanced. how to get more of their jackass little secondary cronies and henchmen to shuffle boxes under the table. And don't forget that at every tier of reporting, all they have to do is fudge it by 5, 10% without being too crazy. And they can completely alter the outcome of the election by manipulating it at the reporting points and nobody having brains enough to challenge the overall numbers. Because you're evil if you do. You're evil. You're evil if you challenge the communists, don't you know? I think I'm a lot evil on that note. I really am. It's kind of cool. We got a caller. Who do we have? Don't forget all the dead people with boys too though. Well, I kind of expect that. We dropped a couple of bus horses by over by the, you know, a couple of cemeteries here. But it turned out the Demikins already had Antifa and BLM getting the corpses. You know, they dug them up, got one hand there, at least go through the motion, and had them sign off on their mail-in balance. I didn't have to move them even, which is pretty good. But, you know, like in Chicago, the oldest joke in the book with regard to elections, guys, Chicago and New Orleans, everybody in every cemetery votes at least 11 times in every election. Make no mistake, but now it's just all over the country. You know, go ahead. I'm pretty sure my dad voted too, even though he's been dead for nine years. I'm pretty sure he voted for Whitmer and all them. I'm sure he was another reliable Democrat voter, just like everybody else who was a Republican when they were alive. But that's exactly the way it is people as far as having any, like I told you, I ain't holding my breath on any of this crap because it's pretty much a scam. It's their stanks and it's a lie. The fact that they're doing this now the way they are, everything was 50-50. Go through, in fact, last night there were no numbers. If you've noticed something we've never seen, Growing up, guys, he wanted you to be at the television, staring at the television screen, watching the numbers change from hour to hour, and they did just the opposite. You didn't need to know anything. You didn't need to know anything. Except what they tell you at the end, once they've set up, what they've set up. Well, something, something I saw last night that I've seen a long time, Benji County, Karen Blue. really? Well, that just means that enough of the move in Jewish mob from Chicago slash also riding up from Benton Harbor or from maybe Kalamazoo, made sure they came up and properly engineered the voting booths accordingly. Everything on the west side of Michigan is right now occupied by the scurrilous kosher turds out of northern Chicago. Western Michigan is Jewish mob Chicago. Eastern Michigan is Jewish mob Toronto through their conduit in Oakland County. And Wayne County, but Wayne County is a ghost of what it was. There's still the little colonies here and there and the old Italian mob. The Italian Want Your Monterby tribe is still there in the back alleys running the casinos along with the Jewish mob. But that's how they divide Michigan up. So if that happened with Benzi County, realistically, ain't nobody getting any benefit from Shittmer. slash the pedo queer, you know, glossy one that, oh, she lost her gloss. Did you notice that? He, she lost its gloss. Why'd they do that? Well, everybody was talking about that it's a guy. Okay, so what they did, and like I said, you can always tell when they're the faggotty boy types, because they may try to look real hard like a female, but they always overdo something. So when this cross dresser came in as governor, you had the plasti shine face, the shiny face thing. Typical for, again, the Milwaukee and the Midwestern Michigan queers that we have, you know, that run the cross dressing bars and stuff. Seriously, you see them all over the place. There's the equivalent to the blue oyster club, just like in, remember, what was it? God, come on, four different movies, all cop movies. Academy, police academy, yeah. If you think that's a joke, it's worse. And it always vomits out onto the street around the area. So you can actually grade them as they're going down, rate them where you're going by cuz they're right downtown in Arbor. But again, the likelihood that everybody voted that piece of POS, no, that didn't happen. What happened is what we what we warned you about is if you don't clean up the election process All the mechanisms that were in place and by the way, what are the significant changes? What are the numbers for the Senate right now? Is it like almost 5050? No way Was there any significant divot in the in the formula? No, not at all They did it, it's like, well, after all, half the country is queers of $3 bill, pedos that are just waiting, frothing at the mouth to grab your kids and drag them off into a back alley. Didn't you know that? You didn't know that, people? You should have. So remember, acquiesce now, because after all, now that they've played you with the skank, the skanks have played you with the fake election. Now you just have to submit to whatever police state crap they wanna plug in. Because, don't you challenge looking at the election, which by the way, we're all supposed to be a part of, but they're gonna tell you that that's now gonna be illegal. Now, that's why, again, I have full confidence in that, you know what I mean? So let's vote with our wallet and buy more ammunition. Although there's a bunch of really good deals out there right now as far as certain spots. But what I understand, there may be a few of the, there's a pod of the Chinese semi-automatic AKs that have come in. I do not know where, I don't know where they are yet. I've seen a comment made about them. And you may have noticed if you've been looking at stuff on YouTube, that a bunch of the videos on the Chinese defense rifles are popping up. And of course, the beautiful thing about the Chinese AKs after the first wave, most people don't remember the first wave of AKs. When China first opened up, everybody heard, wow, they're gonna bring SKSs and they're gonna bring AKs in. Well, the Chinese did not understand the interest of the American market. So some of you, not very many, cuz usually everybody dressed them up after they got them eventually. Some of you might remember that when the SKS's and the first of the AKs came in, the SKS's came in first. But they came in with no bayonet lug. That was a negative because they didn't have the folding bayonet. And they used a black lacquer paint and they painted the stocks because they thought Americans wanted a black rifle. Since we have the air 15, you and I must all want the black rifle. Well, okay, it's the after Vietnam. Who would have the first interest in SKS's and AK's do you think? Who at that time, there was a massive number of Vietnam vets. And so everybody was gonna, yeah, I'm gonna get one of those rifles that was shooting at me. Everybody always curses being in the war during the war, they burned their uniforms or they do whatever. I've told you this many times, I've watched this cyclically over and over again. And they tell you all about how they hate this, are they gonna get rid of that? And then what happens is nostalgia kicks in, and the first thing they all want is a hat like they had. Because you can get a hat and the wife won't whine about that, okay? But they burn their hats cuz the wife- That's the latest with all the twits and bimbos that you got out there basically that are from the public fool system. Eventually, as I've had happen over and over again, I was like, oh, you know, French mid-lap. Hey, Mark, how you doing? Hi. Haven't seen you in a while. Nope. Can you get me a patrol cap? Well, what kind of patrol cap do you want? Well, you know, I was in the Rangers and I came back and my wife told me I'd get all my army stuff and... But I could really use, I'd love to find a real Ranger Hat as it was. As a matter of fact, hold on a second, let me see what I can do. And so I'd go out and find a real Ranger Hat, which basically the patrol caps you have right now that are in the military are the old Ranger patrol cap. They just wanted to give them out to everybody so they make them non-special. The army always does that. So anyway, I find that. Then I go, why do you want to find a booty hat? Well, there's all kinds of booty hats out there. You going hunting? No, no, I want a real booty hat. I want one like a hat in Vietnam. I had one of the middle war ones. It didn't have the big long brim. Oh, okay. Whoa, do you want a tiger stripe? Woodland? There weren't many woodland out there. Marines didn't use those. Not very much. So, OD green? Uh... Well, Tigerstripe would be good. Everybody loved Tigerstripe. Okay, well, I'll get you Tigerstripe on. And a real one, one made by one of the, you know, actually contractors. So, this happened over and over again. And then they start wanting other stuff. Well, all of a sudden here after the war, although most of the guys after Vietnam didn't get rid of most of their stuff, they just got pissed at the government. Okay? But when the first AKs and SKS came out, everybody was excited. They heard they were coming in. They didn't know what the Chinese were sending, what the guys were buying. But the guys bought them and brought them back over and they, what the hell is this? Where's the bad hit blood? Why is this black? Are these something? So they had a whole custom box and made it sporter. The box was sporter. And you were supposed to be real excited. It's like, eh, they didn't move. Price went down twice, three times, it moved kind of like when the Sega shotguns came in, guys. The Sega shotguns started out well over $300, dropped down at what, 275, 250, and they were down to 155, 165 apiece. And I told you, buy the hell out of them. When they got to that point, a semi-automatic rifle magazine fed for $165 during that period of time. Now, that's after the Chinese. So what happened is the black stuff didn't move. When it finally started to move, it was only because they had dropped the price. And everybody expressed the same interest. We like the idea of you bringing AKs and S-Cases in, but we want something like what we were, I want a souvenir, so to speak, that's after the fact. So a lot of guys, well, the next wave when the Chinese came in, they brought them in with the banettes attached, complete box kits, you had chest pouches, you had all the goodies. extra magazines, all the tools, and people scarf those up. The AKs were going for 125 a piece, and as we all know, $56 for an SKS. 56! 52, 53, 56 though was the average. So that's where the last batch we saw come in that were, you know, like modified heavily, doesn't sound like that's what these are, because the pictures I've seen you show what is a Type 56 rifle. with Bennett attached to whole nine yards and in original colors. So it's not like you've done some kind of support or ization on the things. They're the basic rifles. So pay attention. I'm trying to find out where these are and I really be curious what the cost is. I had a sticker shotgun, something else that you guys may not have noticed here. They're making Walter PPKs in country again. Apparently, I'm thinking Arkansas is where they're building and possibly either Arkansas or Missouri. I think it said Arkansas, but what I saw on the stamp on the pistol. Now, a Walther PPK from Walther is a nice gun. Beautiful pistol. I give it to a woman, double action, single action, you know, pull the trigger, but you don't even load it. I prefer a revolver for people who haven't had a whole lot of experience because of this point and click. But it's still not a bad little pocket pistol because it was designed to be a pocket pistol, okay? The last time I saw a batch Walthers made, They were coming in at about $365 to 400 for a Walter PPK. Right now, when American made Walter PPK, over the counter, they're talking $995 a pistol. Now, I like that little gun. Maybe you like that little gun a lot too, but I don't think I like it the price of an M1A or almost the price of, for instance, the price of PTR 91. It ain't a PTR 91, it's a 380 auto pocket pistol with 7 or 8 round magazine depending on what you put in it. Yeah, I think we need 3 for that price. That's the way I see it. Yeah, see so it's like it's a neat little idea but it ain't that, I mean considering where we are with CNC machining, I know that's what they're doing. You do two people, come on. They're programming and all this. They're trying to charge that the market will bear. Now, first of all, it's in 380 Auto, which is okay. But remember, every time that the government starts to cut the ammo off, 380 Auto is one of the first to try up. There's a lot of those guns out there, there really are. And everybody, when they finally took an interest and realized that the situation is not looking good, all it took was a few weeks and there wasn't any 380 Auto to be found at all. So that's a negative selling feature for the gun. 32 ACP was plus or minus. It lasted a little longer because not as many people were thinking to chalk up ammo for the 32 automatics. But they did, a bunch of people. Eventually it sold out because there was only so much out there. But in both cases, you know, what I'm suspecting we're going to see is that these type, you know, these Chinese defense rifles are going to be up around 1,001. I'll be willing to bet 1,125. Now, I love the AK. You throw me the AK, I'll hug you back. Okay, I really will. Telling me that my AK should be the cost, especially a Chinese one. should be the cost of a PTR-91 or a really decent AR-10 or a, you know, go right down the shopping list. Hell, how many AR-15s can you buy for $1,100 that are decent rifles? Okay, if it was a choice, I mean, no, if I really had the hots for, oh my God, I can't live without a Chinese AK. Well, I guess if that's your life, then that's your life and go ahead. But it's... knowing where they came from, and literally at what they're gonna be probably going for, which is about $1,200. That's 10 times the cost of the AKs when they came in originally. Retail, now understand, they were paying, what you were buying an SKS for, it was a little less actually, but what you were paying, when you were paying $56 for an SKS, they were buying those for $9 to $11 apiece. When you were buying that AK for 125, they were buying those AKs for less than the retail price of the SKS you were buying. That was the job or import price, about 40. The high mark, you know, there was the cheapest they got was about 42 to $43 a rifle. That's what the whole kit was. That was the magazines, the chest pouch, all the tools, the rifle, in a box, everything ready to go. About forty two to forty three dollars at the high point when they first started buying them. They were a little higher They're actually up around fifty one fifty two dollars, but only because people bought a sampling when the guys I know went back over and bought Many of them they filled up warehouses here in Detroit. They fill their warehouse up. You could walk through it sideways Then they were down to below fifty dollars a rifle And the SKS, as I already told you, same thing. If you were willing to, in fact, if you were willing to talk to them, you want to do 100 SKS, you could get a lot closer to that $11 price because they wanted to turn them around as fast as they could because they were going back to dip the well a second time, which they did. So if you were willing to buy 100 at a time, you got a much, much, much, much better price than just say $56. And I say much, I mean cut it down almost half. That's why the S-cast is not going away in this next war. In fact, a lot of people will be here. This is what you get because it's better than a sharp stick, isn't it? Oh, yeah. And that looks like it's brand new in the cosm line. Well, yeah, it is circa old inventory. So a couple of the things here real quick. And again, the S-cast is coming in are imported from a third party country. The ones you're seeing, those that's not with each those Chinese S-cast is if you look. They're stamped from country of origin. They're not, they are built, they were built in China, but they were sent out as lend lease rifles to another country. And then the rent revolution industry bought them and also the SKS is coming in right now. They're good rifles, that's wrong what I've seen. I haven't heard any complaints. Basically, it's a standard 20 inch SKS rifle. SKS carbine, Mark, slap yourself in the microphone, don't start that. It's the SKS carbine. And it is a verified rifle and I would carry it all day. If I can't make that rifle sing, there is something wrong with you as a rifleman if you have a problem with it. It's that simple. Well, I want something with more volume fire. More volume fire does not mean there are greater hits. It just means you're burning more ammo and the supply chain is being eaten up. That's all that means. So anyway, a couple of the things here real quick, magazines. They still have, as far as I can tell, I looked at it briefly and I thought I saw it right, they still have the Turkish Smoke AK-47 plastic mags at CenterFireSystems.com and it's what, five for $20? You really can't meet that price. Now if I'm wrong, if it's six, that'd be better still. Houdicount five. And again, we've seen them, they are serviceable, they'll hold rounds, they are not a soft plastic chip. You have to assume at some point they're probably gonna break. But if you want to put more AK mags away in a cache, this is the best thinking way to do it so that you all of a sudden have a whole lot of firepower already, boom, boom, boom. Now the other thing I would remind you about, cuz it was just those are cheap bags, that doesn't mean they don't work. And if you're going to build what we call breakout kits, where you stuff a bag full of mags, you're not going to keep the mags. The ones that are in the breakout bag should be your perishables. Because I think I've told you before, if you have AR mags, you take your P mags and all the other stuff that's your favorite, best, and most expensive, and put it on your combat rig. Your breakout kits are what you use first before you use the equipment on your combat harness if you are in a breakout or volume fire situation. Why? Because I'll use up the bag, I stick a mag in, I empty and drop the mag, leave it. Grab another mag out of the bag, jam it in the magazine well, hit the release end. Oh, I'm sorry, it's Pew Pew with the AR. Pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew p Or it's a heavy exchange firefight. You're designated to put volume fire down range or you need to and it's here on your power base. These mags are the mags you use first. Then when you can fire maneuver to go finish off the survivors, your best mags are still in your combat harness ready to be used. You might still have even some of the mags in one of your breakout bags. If you win, and you should, you can come back and pick all that garbage up. If you lose, you aren't gonna cry about it. Nobody will be anyway. Tell it works. If you can't come back for it, well, so whatever they tell you, they're on your cheap bags. I'm gonna use them possibly once. Do you think they'll run one time 30 rounds and these are a K mags, they're Turkish made. They do our serviceable. I've already seen them. You drop them in, load them up, drop them in. They go bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, 30 rounds. With a breakout magazine, you're gonna fire it. and drop it. Now you want to drop a trail of P mags all over the place and cry about it later. Oh man, oh man expensive mag. Okay, you may still have to do that. But before we get to that, let's have the less expensive mags ready for their one time jolly roll. And bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, drop the mag, insert the other mag, hit the release and bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. The idea behind this is If with a breakout, it's what you're doing, it's throwing your volume fire weapons. Everything you carry out in a breakout is your heaviest, most volume capable weapons or HE weapons. Example, if you had a 10 man squad in your squad, you're down to four or five men mixed between the two fire teams. All the 203s get picked up, all the grenades, 40 millimeter grades that are left go into you, you switch them over to your kit. Every usable magazine best goes on your combat load. You stuff a bag with a difference. You get a break make a breakout bag. If you have a belt fed weapon, someone's going to carry that. You make sure at least it's got one complete belt ready to run, load it into the weapon. down the mark or the whistle or the flare, you're gonna be moving out to break out of what might be a compression perimeter or again, to make it back to allied slash friendly piece of real estate, but you gotta punch through the enemy's perimeter. So the heaviest weapons and the weapons that can do the most van damage are constantly wailing away. Now remember, in this situation, ambushes and breakouts Select fire if you got it switch it over to select fire and hose the bastards down. That's the rule. Hose them down. You got a belt fed weapon. You see a target you make it hurt. But the idea is you carry that stuff. In fact, even if you have indirect fire weapons before you move out, will your tail end Charlie security team as you kick off you're already dumping rounds downrange into suspected strong points or to break into the breakout area to shock whatever infantry might be in front of you that you're going to move through. So if you had mortars or any kind of other indirect fire weapon, but recoilless rifles, you may not be able to carry them out. If you have any rounds left for them before you start to break out, the officer in charge of the senior NCO, whoever's left alive, is going to give the order to fire. You guys fire up everything that you can. And as soon as that last round is in motion, that's the kickoff. That's when the pop flare goes up that tells you everybody now You don't need to have any other any other ordinal that when you see a three star cluster or a five star cluster or an orange orange cluster Whatever color whatever a number designation. That's the mark everybody moves and Then you pound the earth with the with what you've got boom boom boom boom credit years Continue to consume especially since you're probably be initially burdened And because you've stripped everything you can, you try not to leave anything behind. So in the initial phase, the Grenadier becomes a poor man, the short range 60 millimeter mortar package, which really is where they are niche wise in the unit. They're just, they're mobile individually operated, but volume fire, volume fire and volume fire. How do you achieve that with your type of operation? Well, those cheapie mags allow you to be able to have a standby like that. And by the way, they do work. But if you want to have the showy mags, I got PMAG-BOR14 6th generation asterisk number 5. I got the special ones. I've got the Schmidlap mags. Ahhh. You're more expensive than everybody else's. Schmidlap, don't be so. Well, whatever it is you got, thumbs up. Congratulations. But break mags, or again, break out mags, but we also just call them consumables, expendables. That's what those other mags are for. So again, over at CenterfireSystems.com is where you can find the AK mags and there are a couple of buys. They had some at Centerfire. I don't know. That's what I didn't mention yet, but go back and look. They might have some of the AR black plastic mags for about $6 a piece. There was a short little burst of those for sale here the other day. I didn't mention them because Look like they were gonna run out pretty quick and they'd already restock and when that happens to go down the road to where they got them from restock and bring them back until they can't do that anymore. That's what center fire does. They try to buy close so they can if they do run out of a big, you know, gaggle of them, they just literally send a truck down, go pick up another truck full. That's it. So let's see. And we owe. Yes. Also center fire. They do have. Thank you, Bob. Center fire. They also have a quantity of surplus items in from Sturm. You might want to go through there and peruse their surplus and see if there's anything useful. They are the first place that's been carrying some of the body armor. That is surplus is not cheap for you guys who bought the cheap body armor when I told you to smile. You were very wise people. You were very smart. You did very well. The same armor that you bought for $50 or $47 or $60 is now going for $250, $300 and $400. So you were very smart. Not only that, but what I've noticed is this, they pilfered parts, the foreign countries they come from, or the contractor. In other words, the wholesaler, the importer. Stripped off some of the other armor that was the add-on hangar armor. So the new stuff that's coming in That's the old French inventory new on you know unissued but old inventory is missing like the crotch plate or the crotch hanger or the reinforcement, you know bumper pads and all the other fun stuff So whatever you bought earlier when we told you to again, you did very well Congratulations, you were very smart Anyway, I'll see next Okay, we got center fire. I want to make sure go check them out I can't I just can't keep up with that fast enough for the some of the stuff that's changing there But they are again. They've added what they can they've also cleaned up the page you have less death with us there for the moment There's stuff that's posted, but when you get to it you find out it's not an inventory They've pretty well cleared that out so what you're looking at you probably have it You still gonna have to check to make sure though obviously well you'll know when you try to go to check out Next, classic firearms. They, I believe, I think, and again, that doesn't guarantee much. Mark doesn't use it. Mark sometimes sounds like the guy from Pennsylvania that's now the supposed, wait a second, going back into my Democrat, yeah, politicies. Classic may have some more of the grants. I do not know. Somebody asked us those we were talking, somebody's asking if those were DCM. Well, the equivalent, the Civilian Marksmanship Program, CMP. I know that there are a lot of people access them that way. You can buy a number and you don't have to buy just one grand like they were doing years ago with the DCM. With the CMP, they're bringing grands in, going through with the Arsenal rehab program, and selling guns and they have different grades. So you can buy more than one grand from the CMP. Where otherwise with the old DCM, get it right Mark, the DCM you had to fill out paperwork, do a background check and you'll get butt printed and tongue printed and all the other fun stuff and you only got one rifle. So you got some really fine rifles. Many of the rifles that we got from the DCM were in actual match grade even though they didn't get to choose. It was just what was coming out. But many of the rifles that we got from the DMC were virtually pristine unissued rebuilt factory guns. Go ahead Ed, jump in there. I heard you making jokes about the betterment thing and it's like how could Pennsylvania vote for somebody who has brain damage, literally has brain damage? Well, here's what happened and a bunch of us have been talking online. It's like, well, this is why they wanted early voting. This is why they wanted you to vote in the mail because they kept their candidate in the closet again or in the basement like they did with Joe Biden. And Pennsylvania is in for some bad buyer's remorse. In fact, you know what? Pennsylvanians were already fueling buyer remorse after that debate with Joe Biden and not Joe Biden. Sorry. with betterment and Oz there in Pennsylvania. After watching his performance, a lot of Democrats were saying they wish they could change their vote. Why is it they wish they could change their vote? Well, because they already voted through the mail. Now that's one of the things with that's one of the reasons why a mail in election is no good. If you vote early and you vote often, you get what you pay for. Unfortunately, it's crap. Excuse my language. So that's dead. Yep, still there, there we go. One of the things that gets me about this, like I said, is I'm gonna have to start working on crepe ouilles so that we can speak to 50% of the population of Pennsylvania because all of these convenient elections, and I told you last night, you'll be able to tell what kind of fake election you're dealing with. Notice how all of the elections were 51, 49. or 5247. In other words, there was a percentage that was somebody else, 1%. And then it's the same crap up and down, yet back and forth. Guys, it's a lie. That tells you that- And every place where the Democrats just barely managed to hold on, it was Most of the state, if you look at them, are red. Even the state, when you look at the individual election that we're going on, okay, for the people who they say, well, most people vote straight ticket, we must be seeing it split, we must be seeing it split. They will tell you that statistically, you know, impossible to see it split that way. In fact, they tried to last night. But when you take a look at that, it's those heavy populated city urban areas that are trying to tell the rest of the country what to do. Well, again, what it is is the voter fraud. This is the kind of voter fraud that in the video I explained before, guys, it's again, vote scam. Everybody saw what they did locally. And when they called it in at the next tier, the vote was altered by 30%. Now, little less, but it was about 30%. Now, understand this is the traditional vote scam. that they're doing. They already did the extreme, although I think this is just as extreme because it's pretty stinking obvious here. The only place where there was any aberration was with the decenis scam, okay? 60-40, and maybe it's a little higher, maybe now it's 60, 62, 64 to 36 or 35 or whatever, who knows? Who cares? Because the only place that that happened is in the place where they figure that if they can cultivate DeSantis, they can create conflict with Trump. Okay, the Jewish mob runs to Santa's the Jewish mob is your runs, Florida Okay, the Santa's goes to Israel and goes over there and has sex with the demons at the whaling wall You ever watch what the rabbis are doing? If you don't know what they're doing you're having sex with the demons at the whaling wall because it's good to have sex with demons and spiritual demons of the whaling wall So either moving their groin and moving their leg their crotch instead of bowing at They're not bowing, watch what they're doing, they're thrusting, okay? Just a heads up. So anyway, what's fascinating about this is all the other locations across the board and those even that aren't done yet by the time they're done, it's so close and yeah, we just slipped in the boats here. At each chair, they add a few more. They take away and add a few more so that by the time you're done, and of course nobody's supposed to challenge it cuz, well, I thought I heard the numbers were right. They were close, but maybe I was wrong. I'm busy with other things now. My brain is shut off. The fake election event is done for the shallow hells, and they can count on the shallow hells doing nothing. Also, Republicans, like I said, they're useless. Okay, what's gonna happen? Well, I guess we just have to let it ride. So for everybody out there, the election is, this was no different from the last fake election. I don't believe any of it. And too many people are pissed, too many people, again, without worrying about, well, red wave. Too many people are getting bit in the ass that understand why they're getting bit in the ass. And what they mean, what I mean by that is real simple, the wallet, getting bit in the wallet. And it's nonstop and it's happening over and over and over. Now, like I said, you're in a very dangerous window right now. No matter what, although in this case, as far as them having to worry about whether or not they're gonna continue with their communist agenda, all they did was what? What's the numbers in the Senate? They rearranged the deck chairs on the Titanic. And when all was said and done, what are we looking at? Well, the Democrats got one more vote. One more seat. So in other words, it's 50-50 again. Pretty close. Now, at least now if they vote along the party line, they don't have to have the, you know, Camilla, the quack and duck. I say that because we have a duck that sounds like Camilla Harris when she quacks. She goes, whack, whack, whack, whack. Okay, sounds like her when she's laughing. But anyway, that's the guarantee that they have that swine, that piece of yahooty trash. to stand up there and break the tie so the Democrats get what they want anyway. Now the only thing is they don't have to worry about bringing the Harris meat puppet out because it's not necessary. They have rearranged the deck chairs on the Titanic to set everything up for whatever scam they're gonna run with in the next few days and weeks and then two years. Only two years of the presidential election, ain't that wonderful? By then they'll have entrenched the voter fraud to an even greater degree and the situation will be even worse. Boy, I just can hold my breath and wait for two years. We all just need to let the bad guys just have their way, don't you know? Yeah, the evil ones, the wicked ones, the ball worshipers, the Kabbalists, we just need to let them have their way. But for that reason, that's why I started off, you know, I already know what's already discussed yesterday was gonna happen. We just the fake election day, all day after the fake election, everything's gone as expected. It's not really a surprise. Now we can wait for them to start to pickle, smoke and mirrors garbage with DeSantis and Trump lie about it or be relatively straightforward, who knows? And in the process by the time for two more years, well, Donald Trump will be two more years older. He ate no spring chicken. So everybody's holding their breath for dawn. And by the time they're done, they'll just tell you, no, we got your prime for the desanist run by the Israelis. And the Israelis won the one side, the Israelis run the other side, and you go and just shut up and let us fix the vote the way we want. And that's especially true with Pennsylvania, cuz the Jewish mob, that's exactly what just happened there. Ain't no doubt about it. It's not just that it wasn't a matter of who actually cast votes. It's a matter of who are the vote, the vote thieves. And the Jewish mob talked about them in Pennsylvania ain't no different from New York or California. Boy give old. Don't forget to that if we have a meat puppet. Well, who was the other senator from Pennsylvania? Do you recall? Isn't it Chuckie the possum Schumer? So if you have a meat puppet, a dance dummy, kind of like the Biden thing, then you've really got only one senator and you've got the meat puppet standing next to him and whatever they want, they're gonna get those two votes no matter what, right? Yeah, cuz the other one doesn't vote, he just stands there and- I'm surprised they haven't explained that he actually speaks Huttese. Maybe he speaks Huttese and that's just why you don't understand him. Cuz you're not kuth enough. There we go. We're not sophisticated enough to understand his special language. Yeah, nobody knows the troubles he's seen. Ho ho ho, panta pudu solo. We're almost to the top by the way here too also. I mentioned this before and I am dead cold serious about this because of where we're headed. And again, if you do not know how to swim, if you are listening and we have militia units right now, we've actually got an express course going on to sidebar to get everybody in the water. But the idea is to verify 100% that everybody is gonna be able to at least dog paddle. Swimming is especially critical. We are in a water obstacle state. One way or another, if you look at what's, for instance, you're seeing what's happening with the yuck rain and with the BS going on there. Well, eventually one side of the other is going to start truly taking out bridge infrastructure. This means that, you know, in one point or another, if you have to retrograde, Being able to exfiltrate your personnel out if it's swimming a water barrier if that's what you got to do That's what you got to do So we need to have everybody copacetic 100% all of you out there listening if you in fact didn't mean as we are if you're militia or not If you don't know how to swim by God you get into some program today right now like look at the schedule for whatever you got local Get in there, get in the pool, dog paddle, I don't care what you learn, but I'll tell you what, this is another thing. There's no reason for you to have a mystery or be any mystery about this. With the videos that are on YouTube, you can find any subject you want. Swimming is covered. The basic three strokes, the breaststroke, no, you don't need to speed swim. Side stroke is another casual and anything. The traditional backstroke is another one for distance. You know the everybody wants to do the cup you know armpit You know speed swim That's only good for so many feet now granted for crossing a water obstacle and they only be so wide That's not a problem. But if you're having to tread a distance You will need a a strength stroke that's going to allow you to continue to you know Take advantage of your weight being moving through the fluid moving through the water. That's why Again, traditionally there were options with what was called freestyle competitions. Always remember that because you're usually a freestyle relay involved usually or used to. I don't know what they're doing now, but used to be three different strokes that you had to use. You had an option. One leg is you had an option, but it had to be a a strong, what we would call an extended or a long distance stroke of whatever kind you chose to get to the finish line. And again, it's been a long time since I've been in competition swimming, so I've not kept up with that sport. I have too many other things on the planet to do. But the idea is that if you have any of those mastered, For distance swimming especially, it's critical to understand. You may be dragging junk along. Example, a lot of you are talking about, well, I would have to afford that water barrier. That's so deeper than you expected. One of the things that we recommend is rafts, carrying a certain number of air mattresses, using them as water course. for your equipment. This way your equipment's not dragging you down. The other thing is a certain amount of mid grade rope. Rather than just repelling rope, a utility cargo rope of one kind or another will about 150 to 200 feet. And the purpose behind this is for speed fording where you actually use the rope to help move the people across the water barrier faster. Gives you the ability also of the safety just in case somebody panics or somebody is injured because you may be under fire or he may come under fire. Let's assume to worse we won't be disappointed. There's a number of solutions there. Something really weird just happened this week, this week by the way. I got a bunch of stuff that somebody had tossed in a way of tools and material. And then in the mix, speaking of water crossing, I got two five count bundles of stainless steel carabiners. Heavy gauge, large, what, five inch? Yeah, five inch, ready for work. Again, the cost of stainless is outrageous, especially for carabiners. So I'm very happy, but there's an example of if you just pay attention, use your eyeballs. When somebody is getting rid of stuff that's brand new in the package and putting it out, you should stop and check. You never know what the little packages are in there, okay? But carabiners also, again, with something else that we haven't talked about, is a small block and tackle system. It's not hard to find them. You can find them with plastic. You can find them also again in stainless or or in steel which will rust but What's interesting is just having a set as part of your teams combat load. It's kind of like Not everybody needs all of the engineer tools that you could possibly carry but at least having one of them in the team Designated or traded off so that everybody shares the weight. There's a really good idea Everybody should be carrying an E-tool. Carabiners, rope, cordage. One of the other things there is everything from micro, which I really love, but it's hard to find anymore, real micro parachute cord. The other is conventional parachute cord, and then needles to say going up through the different diameters in the rope. Standard repelling rope is not as easy to find as it used to be, say, even three, four years ago. Now, I did get a ton of French repelling rope, remember what, about six years ago, and that was spread out to everybody. You've got tonnage of that. In fact, I bought every last piece they had. It was a package deal. But there is little cordage out there right now. That's another thing everybody's assuming. Well, we'll just be out there waiting for it. No, that's not how it works. Most people barely are carrying matches and a pokey sharpie thing in their pocket. Let alone the idea that people have rope on the shelf. So if you don't think ahead now, you can go to Ollie's, you can go to camp outfitters, take your pick and you can look to see what they have. Yes, you can buy 500 foot spools. Traditionally, that's what we did. We were building our own repelling rope. We would buy a 500-foot spool of green line, break down the individual sections, burn off, burn, melt, tape, and have each section tested. We personally inspected twice. Then we'd roll it up, and we actually did extensive repelling courses with everything from taking the Girl Scouts and the Brownies out. And they were highly aggressive, highly motivated. It was fun to watch. But we took a group down to the cliffs down in Cleveland, the ledge is there. And that was quite a unique experience, pretty good area to train. If you guys are down there in the Cleveland area, you've got some phenomenal terrain. There's also some really great terrain up by, actually it's Grand Ledge, Lansing, Michigan area. There's some excellent terrain there. So you've got the opportunity to develop your skills, pick your area of operation. We got train trestles everywhere. I mean, especially remote ones where nobody has a clue you're even working off them. And the nice thing is typically they go into water so the water is a little more forgiving than if you have to drop on land. Oh, that hurt. Oh, his legs bent backwards. Oh, wow. So we want to avoid that. By the way, before you get on the rope, you should have some training. You do know that. And again, this is where you can develop your skills. We don't want to hear about a pop. Anyway, we're at the top. We're going to take a break here for all of you out there. It is weapons Wednesday. Your mind is your first best weapon. But by God, you better make sure your body catches up. So again, if you do not know how to swim, get that out of the way. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, we fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep the tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep Your freedom is gone your courage lost you're no more than a slave in this the land of the free 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 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 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? Most 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 Iowoki vanished in the mist from whence he came, his words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only 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 gentlemen an hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm our kirky One day closer to victory for all of our brothers And behind the lines in occupied territories, southwest, northeast, and troll. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org, and we are on satellite. Must say hi to all of our friends out there. across all the oceans of the planet this hour and in addition to that Anchorage, Harbors, sporting facilities and inland in a number of locations how you guys are hooking it up that's your unique niche slash area of expertise congratulations keep it up We're also at a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside the United States, Channel 27, of course active for this day, and it'll be backup 27. Anything happens to station primary one. The second one, of course, is online, so you guys are testing out another president radio that's been beefed up, I understand. Good work there. It is the 9th of November, the day after the fake election, and it's 50-50 day. Everything is 50-50. I always loved that. It's so comical. Because nature is like that. Everything always drops 50-50. Half and half, half and half, half and half. Didn't you know that? You honestly believe it. They're just laughing their ass playing the country. They really are. But anyway, it is... The 14th year, it's weapons Wednesday by the way, it's 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. And it's been a pretty busy week today. Well, here it is the 9th of November and I'm outside. The metal and all the equipment is being cooked, so are the buildings. And so I was doing painting outside on vehicles, military equipment, and on buildings. Because once one thing's done to a certain point, you can't paint it farther. You can go on to the next one. And by the way, scrub, add wood, change metal, bend things, had to fix a bunch of stuff that was slightly bent. And you know what? I could paint outside on the 9th of November. I haven't been able to do this kind of work for, whoa, three or four decades in November. So that probably will closer to five when I think about it. I wonder if there's a lot younger, the 70s. Anyway, so it was a good day. Hopefully, we get one more day life. If it drops after this and this weekend, maybe it will, maybe it won't. We'll see what happens. But when it does, it will. Michigan is like this. So the long cycle, the mid cycle, the short cycle, then you'll be understood. If we get another day, fantastic. If not, well, we got a hell of a gift as it is. But one of the things I will remind you, working on small and old military piece of equipment. On the one hand, working on a vehicle, you got to route, you got to work everything flat. Unless you're not worried about that. I mean, you can leave paint on if it's going to be camouflage, who cares? If it's a beater truck, it's going to be thrown away in a battlefield situation. Don't worry about it. As long as you get some paint on there to prevent the rust from redistributing, right? The paint is an oxygen barrier. But I was working on one old thing in the garage and I started thinking for a minute. I'm thinking about other stuff because I got a bunch of other building components painted and a transformer. I painted that too today and got it all bolted back together and pretty much everything ready to go. I still have to work on the cable connectors. But I was working on another piece of equipment and I had to stop myself. It's like, wait a minute, what are you doing? It's old, it's steel, it's lead paint. Guys, even the decals. Have you ever noticed when you even work on old, old military equipment, the decals don't even wanna come off? Why is that? Well, because they're made of the same material the paint is. And here's the first rule about this. If it's hard for you to get all that stuff off, leave it. It's doing its job. Besides, 16 cones of lead-based paint might save your life down the road. Think about that one. Oh, wait a minute. Yeah, that's right. Radiation protection. Oh, yeah. So anyway, I stopped myself before I got, it went crazy because I had the grinder and the sander and everything and I was thinking, man, I'm just going to stitch like, wait a minute, stop. And so I dusted up a little bit, gave it the new coat of paint, the over top, all the lead based paint and left the decals where they were. And I don't care how it looks. Actually looks pretty good anyway, it's camouflaged. So heads up on that. If you're working on old armor, this is something we've read it to before. I was beating my brains out on a on a bread and gun carrier and then realize it's like wait a minute I could count six maybe seven layers of paint on the bread and gun carrier and I'm thinking I'm gonna take this down to the metal and do it right do the vehicle right what he hadn't seen bare metal since World War II and I had to stop after cleaning up the one area that had you know that had worked on it was damaged paint was screwed up anyway so I had to level it out just a little bit clean it up After that, it was like, oh, hell no. Just dust it up with a little bit, rough it up on the outside and give her the next coat of whatever you're going to do and whatever's underneath it, it'll sit right there and stare at you for another hundred years if it's around that long. So just a heads up on that one. Don't bother trying to grind. Like if you got an M35 or an M37 or an M880, got a lot of paint on it, leave it right where it is. Why are you trying to scrape all that off now and some of them like the M 80s a lot of them are rust buckets They had a lot of rust on them because they're up here where we were Not all of them, but the ones that were rusty Those are the ones we use for training vehicles. If you look at all of our videos, I had idiot sticks You always have these stupid people Usually it's numbskulls that don't use their brains anyway But it was like, well, the old condition of the truck, oh, it's been repaired and this and that. And it's like, yeah, dim went, the good trucks are on standby and pretty well maintained. These are your training trucks, they're beaters. What's your point, fool? Well, you wanna stop them through the conversation, which you can't. But as it is, again, remember all of your used vehicles means that those much more expensive ones that are really nice shape or waiting for when the time comes turn the key and to go down the road that much farther. I will warn you about something. Your very expensive, purified piece of equipment is just as likely to be the next vehicle down the road on fire that you have to abandon because it's burning to the ground. Hopefully you got out of it. Sickle finger of fate doesn't know whether or not you bought all I'm paying money on that truck. See, that's why I don't I've told you before You're better off buying a fleet of used but good-bodied sound drivetrain vehicles for a couple thousand dollars apiece and getting 10 or 20 as opposed to $50,000 or $60,000 for one vehicle that all it's gonna take is a few hits and you're on your feet See how that works? A fleet of is better than a single bird. But my new truck is all the whiz-bang whistles. Yeah, I've seen most of the new trucks. I ain't impressed in any way, shape or form with any of the newest stuff that's out there. Eventually, we'll end up possibly owning it. It'll be the used truck down the road. But you know what I know beyond the shadow of a doubt? About 60%, but whatever's on those vehicles that right now are being made right now, the present generation. Most of the stuff on there, the bells, whistles, and half of what should be operational won't be. They've chinsed out and made so light, most of the components, that these vehicles are gonna have probably some of the shortest shelf life of an operational vehicle, short of maybe the middle, won't say earliest, but middle 70s vehicles. middle 1970s. We kept chinsing out and chinsing out, thinning and chinsing out. And they said it was for fuel consumption. That wasn't true. They were just chinsing it out and they used that as the excuse. The interesting thing is, let me mention a few vehicles. When was the last time you saw one on the road? Anybody see a Ford Granada on the road in the last few years, like last year? You might have one down the road view is probably collectible. You didn't realize that was this last time you saw a Ford Grandma Granada. How about a Fairmont? How about a world car? Yeah, world car. I mean world cars you got. Now you have many of those were made and they actually stayed. There's a window a time where they kept the design pattern pretty tight for 456 years. Just like on square body Chevy's Chevy pickup trucks. So think about all the vehicles that well man, there should be a bunch of those around. Well, what happened to them? Well, the window of time when they were still being made in America, but they were using Japanese steel. Those vehicles, well, the Japs, they weren't sending us their good carbon steel. They were sending us their scrap metal pot and pot belly stuff that they'd gotten from us. Whatever junk they collected, they scraped it, they killed it, and then they sold it to Ford and they sold it to GM. And the Ford Steel went to somebody else. Way back in the day So I like in that situation where we are now where you got all kinds of you know, really interesting You know distraction bells and whistle things on the vehicle that have no purpose or use whatsoever. They absolutely serve no purpose Don't need to be there especially for a truck. I will point that out I've mentioned this many times one of the first things we're gonna make after this war is over is we'll be making what we will call the Michigan truck I'd like to build Michigan truck company And if we were to do that, and I think we should, it would be a work truck. I'm not trying to build a pickup truck version of a Formula One racer. I need a utility truck with an efficient engine, with a universal box that I can do everything with. I can hook cargo to, I can attach additional components and all bigger stuff. Trailer package, as I say, which is straightforward with a research. But that's what we need to be looking forward to. What are we gonna do when we're done here about building real American again? And when we build real American, we're gonna build our spec, our standards, not planet crapoo. The big thing is if you build a regular pickup truck. You can add all the doodads you want, which we used to do, but most Americans have become so Prozac inclined, Prozac brain dead, that they really don't have the wherewithal to be able to put a nut in a bowl together, let alone figure out how to actually use tools. In the past, we'd make it ourselves. If I could have spoiled it, I'd need it on the hood. We'll break out the Bondo, the fiberglass, and a dustpan from Kmart. And you will have a wind scoop in one day. It'll look really cool when I'm done. And when I repaint the hood, dude, with racing. Okay, so anyway, you know it works. Anyway, for everybody out there, stop wasting time with the fake election. Okay, we'll look at a little bit more, but don't waste time, don't debate or argue. It's irrelevant. The fake election has been proven out now with what we just saw. that the election process is in the shit can, okay? It's done. It's a lie across the board. They're laughing their ass off. They've tweaked it to the Indians degree. And of course, we have election, there's no election, we have a big sale on what they call vote product. You can start out with an early purchase sale and we got the mid sale. And then we also have the buckets of votes that they fill in with after everything's done that we're under the table or in the trunk of the car for the skank that was working for the Democrats, etc, etc. And they'll count them over the next what, one, two, three, four weeks. Because we're still counting because we just don't we don't know how to run an election in a day. We still have ass hats calling in doing telephoto, you know, television conferences in government. Because it's there now so the son of a bitches are so excuse me, son of a bell, I'm not gonna say I'm sorry. These SOBs are so useless. They can't get up off their dead ass and come to one place. And if they won't do that, I wouldn't have any interest in talking to him anyway. But the system likes this because they're also voting this way. They're in person. Now they've got this whole scam set up. Every aspect of this is a skew across the board, both the operational end, but the voting process, throw it out the window, it's done. I told you before, but okay, we'll give everybody the benefit of the doubt. Well, now there's no doubt, okay? We rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic. There is no significant change and everybody goes, well, yeah, but it was just like 1212 1224 months now it'll be it'll be what? Yeah, let's see what's happening on the on the the SS America Titanic. Well, let's see. We're offering free drinks at the bar. The list I'm angley having a myself and support my weight with about a 15 degree angular list. My ankles are wet. They're popping. Look, they're popping flares outside. It must be fireworks and and the band is playing dear my god to thee. Everything's fine. Let's go rearrange the deck chairs again. See how that works? We had a caller. Who do we have? Go ahead. You're my guy. Can you hear me? Gotcha. Like I always tell people, it's like that one song, Hello to the new boss, name is the old boss. That's why I tell people that's all the election is. Actually, we didn't really even have any change here. They did exactly what we basically have discussed, the 50-50 scam, except they did break it by what, one vote. So now they've shifted it over by one vote. So now the Republicans, the Republicans are gonna tell you they can't do anything. And all of this is because the never Trump crew, Republicans who betrayed everybody across the board when something could have been done. They're now the ones that brought us to this point where we are with this garbage here. That simple. Are these republic rats, fake ass republic rats that are worthless turds? Like I told you, the ones that don't say anything, they're just backstabbing rats that are riding with the demacons towards the destruction of America and your freedom and to steal your wealth. Now, again, what we need to do is focus on solutions, organize, arm, equip, and train as militia. Establish a 510 program in your area of operation. Logistics, the key to victory. If you don't understand logistics, you will fail. But if you embrace and understand logistics complying with the employment, the deployment and properly dispersed, Access and asset cycle that you will win because you've got to get it where it needs to be. And the best way to do that is have it where it needs to be in advance of the change in motion and the dance of swords that you're participating in. Logistics, logistics, logistics. And understand that half the time what you want, where it will be, won't be where you want it. Just that simple but get over it and be prepared to improvise adapt and overcome accordingly We're almost to the bottom and before everybody farther. We got Tom here with us and the rest of crew it is 626 let's do this. I give as good as I get you do Heavy metal interesting little piece guy have you get older? You get a little melon rain, you may create some pretty interesting music. So, UDO, who do I give as good as I get? That'll be our bottom of the hour music piece. And more on that when we do come back. It's probably setting up while we're talking. Also, I want to say thank you for the donations for everybody. We do need, again, for you to continue to donate. We are headed towards the end of the year. The end of the year building is coming up. We got more drawings. If you can, send us an email and let us know when you get your packages and let us know what you think. after double check, re-review it. But it is a compilation of many different elements of probably what, 120, maybe 130 different movies if you count it. It's more than that, might even be more. But what's interesting, it's the dynamic shot of what is the main character, the antagonist or the protagonist. It could be either one, but it's this dynamic silhouette shot. And it's interesting how many times They pulled it from how many different movies, everything from a John Wayne movie to whatever, but also Blade Runner, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. You go right down through all of them, the new Blade Runner, not the, you did not even know it was the new one. But it's the idea that the image, it's rather fascinating. using it and taking what is a brain catcher image like that and repeating it over and over and over, but using it, you know, intermingling it in different ways. So I'm gonna check out, it's pretty cool. And of course, you see how many of the movies as you watch it, you'll recognize and realize, well, damn, they did use that same effect. How many movies have I watched? And it's like, oh, you know, well, wow, they just been playing the same. It's kind of like the election scam. They just, you just same basic format, changed up a little bit. It can be any era. Cowboy Western, Future 200 or 100 years from now, anywhere in between. But UDO, I give as good as I get, pretty cool. By the way, they also over-washed the original music video imagery of the main singer on that video to pay attention. There's some really cool stuff they did. It's the same song, there's nothing changed. It's just the imagery they put behind in front of the music while it's playing, so it's pretty cool. Was it behind? Because it's in front of the music background. Anyway, enough on that. A couple of things here real quick. I mentioned bayonets and a bunch of people have asked. Guys, real quick, if you're going to get a bayonet for your weapon, it does not have to be an original wire unless you're collecting. If you're collecting, you can spend whatever money you want. It's your money, not March, okay? But a lot of the weapons that are out there like the ARs, we have so many tons of them that were with many of the bayonets have been sold, but they're anywhere from for the M16A1 through A2 rifle. And you've got a couple variants in the bayonet from the Vietnam era to the later, basically a heavy survival knife slash bayonet. The problem is you're looking anywhere from 60 to 110, 120 dollars or more. If you go over to Bud K, you'll find there are some odds and ends aftermarket bayonets that are made. They do make some excellent M1 Garand reproductions. They're Chinese made, I guarantee it. If you have a Remington bayonet, I do for my 1903 straight. Okay, mine is an original early war right January 1942, just after Pearl Harbor. It's a sword bandit as you would call it the longest blade they made because that was traditional at that time for a little bit then they switch down to the 10 and the 8 inch blades Progressively, in fact, I think there's even a 12 and what they did is a lot of them. They cut them down If you go to Bud K, you can get either the full length blade or the the shorter blade As a reproduction they will fit the Springfield the grand And one or two other aftermarket weapons that were out there that were marketed by other countries. So they will fit both the American rifles and a few others. If you have the trench broom, the Trench Sweeper slash M1897 Winchester, and it has the shroud, that doesn't take the Springfield Bannette, that takes the Enfield Bannettes, American Enfield. They used to be cheap, needless to say, everything used to be cheap, really cheap. But if you have the trench gun and you want to get the right bayonet, you want the M1917 bayonet for that Winchester thumb buster, okay? But I don't see any end fields out there right now as copies or duplicates. There are two or three M16 knockoffs. There are two or three grand options. There are even some for the Arasaka. They're making copies of those reproductions, but those are not necessarily cheap. Whereas the Garand, they've made so many because of the interest of reenactors, which is why the Chinese cranked them out, that the prices stayed relatively cheap for the American copies of the American bayonets. And so for that reason, take advantage of that. When the time comes, you can carry your 70 plus year old Bennett if you want to, and there's nothing wrong with it. But if you're gonna train, again, like the magazines, you can carry your standard Bennett, but in the reproductions, you're not beating the snot out of that original Bennett, which is worth a lot more money now, okay? Plus, it's nice to have another knife out there. And if you're going to get it, why not get something to benefit you? The 1903 Springfield, there's a bunch of them. Both the 03 and the 0383, they all take the same bayonet. If you've got the garand, it takes the same bayonet as the Springfield. So, you can, there are, again, a wide range of grand bayonets. They did, later on, make, during the Vietnam War, beginning of it, they made a modernized bayonet that paralleled the same pattern as the M14 and the M1 carbine, both in length and basic configuration. However, each of those bayonets has to accommodate a different barrel and different lug system. So that's just something to think about there. Again, with the weapons that were in service at that time. The M14 being totally different from the M1 Garand being totally different from the M1 Carbine. Okay, as far as how they affix. Well, or I should say dimensions for affixing to the rifle. So anyway, budk.com, budk.com. Now another place to go if you are looking for, and you might have some Brazilian or other rifles out there you're collecting. There are a bunch of bandits available over at Centerfiresystems.com. It sounds to me by looking at the inventory like a mimic of the old SAMCO inventory. So this may be something that they made a deal on because the other people who got it maybe didn't have an interest. Maybe they finally came out of the estates, the settlement because there was a big court battle between family members. SAMCO went under because the family members inside the business started fighting and they were pretty big with a lot of inventory. It ended up being spread all over the country, but it's still because of challenges, etc. It took time for this stuff. It's been years since the SAMCO settlement was done, or at least the decision was made. But it's been taking years to test up on the property. So it's still showing up out there. The banettes are available, too numerous to mention. You want to go check to see what they have over at CenterFireSystems.com if you're looking for Mauser banettes of different types. Now before you just run up my one, you better make sure you, again, try to find out more about the rifles that you do have and you're going to have to do a little research. That way you get the right banette for the weapon. And if you're just looking for utility grade, that's fine. You don't need to be looking at... There's different grades. Very good actual condition is twice the price of a field grade banette. So, and everybody goes, do I get a bayonet? Well, sharp pony object is better than club. Actually, look at it this way. You still have the sharp pony object and it can still be used as a club. They like that. So it works both ways. But I do recommend that if you can, why not? If you're also looking at collectability, having the bayonets with the weapon are a plus. They won't be matching serial numbers, but they are the, if you get the proper bayonet, it upgrades the value of the weapon. And it increases the value of the bayonet too, to be quite honest. So, other things, and since I'm talking about old ammo, there is over at AIMSurplus.com, it's Weapons Wednesday, of course, AIMSurplus.com, AIMSurplus.com. If you have 7.65 Argentine, you know, South American 30-06 is what it's equivalent to. Everybody always asks, well, what's 7.65 Argentine? It's the 765 Mauser round, which is 30 caliber. Germany marketed three basic calibers for export. Certainly there's there are 792 by 57, which everybody calls eight millimeter. That was marketed as a common practice, but different countries had different ideas and already had different weapons and inventory. So seven millimeter Mauser is out there in force. And 765 was out there too. Belgium used it, the Argentine used it, and because the Argentine used it, other South American countries also purchased a quantity at different times. It came and went with most of those inventories, and the Argentine simply absorbed a lot of what was out there, sometimes by war. South America has not always been peaceful the way it is relatively peaceful right now the last big action we've seen in South America was the Falkland Wars but in the past Paraguay Uruguay Argentina and Brazil every once in a while get pissy and lo and behold even Peru and The northern countries Chile. It's all the Western countries every once in a while. They get into a tiff It took quite a few years for that to settle down. So yes, they built their own, they built inventories up. There's a lot of surplus out there still. The countries are poor, so a lot of the stuff stayed in country and, you know, kind of didn't go anywhere. But they have an upgrading and some of this, they're actually now in the 20th century rather than the 19th century with a lot of their equipment. Needless to say, they've been that way for a while. But the older stuff is still out there in circulation and proof of that is what you're seeing in surplus right now that's still coming out. Now those wells do not last. That bathtub is not going to be full forever. In fact, it's not even near full anymore. So at some point they're going to run and hit the wall on what's left. If it isn't destroyed, it may just be kept by the country. It's because everybody's looking at going to war. When that happens, a gun is better than no gun. Just keep that in mind. And so a lot of countries won't be disposing of unless they can make a deal because they get more modern equipment. That's the other reason this stuff is coming out. They're allowed to sell out stuff that under the UN treaty they were told before they couldn't, but now they got to try and get them to upgrade so they can get them into the war. They want to get them to be willing to fight. Well, to do that, they need to let them upgrade a little bit so they feel like they're more modern. So the big quantity they case out there, whole bunch of other Euro guns and certainly M16, that's what they're trying to move into and have moved into, but now they want more of them. And because of that, some of the other inventories are scrounging around for cash capital. The surplus is cash capital. That's how they look at it, okay? So anyway, AIM surplus does have or has Yes, of yesterday, 765 Argentine in Boseau Point and Baul. They also did get some other PPU in. Of course, now, I don't know how this is going to change because needless to say, we got the stuff going on in Serbia and especially with the issue with the Kosovo border. The EU is trying to piss on Serbia. Serbia was prepared for this. They've made a deal with the Russians for fuel. They're not going to freeze. Rest of Europe, May. Oh well, but now they're all pissy with Serbia, so they'll probably try to whip something up to get them into hot water. Well, it wouldn't be bad, not in the winter. But get them into conflict one way or another. So Serbia traditionally has been pro-Russian or has leaned towards the Russians going back hundreds of years. So to see them change is not likely, especially now that the communists are gone. So we'll see what happens as the peto queer fruit loop Jewish mobsters, you know, keep doing what they're doing over on our side and showing up that showing everybody that we're not Christian anymore. We're a peto queer state run by peto queers and purple hair, frothing at the mouth and crazy. And now with more and more politicians that we're hiring, not even able to put the language together to speak who in play. I'm working on my Pennsylvanian demicon gibberish gibberishies. Once I get that down, I'll be able to, I think I'll be able to communicate with at least half of the population of Pennsylvania, which must be made up of a bunch of Prozac idiot sticks. Either that or they're just lying their ass off. Either way, it doesn't look good for Pennsylvania. With Fedcom and the OAM talent, yeah. I'm waiting for that head to pop out the back. It could be like a hitchhiker's guide, the President Be Well Bob, right? One head's there, next minute the other head, maybe both will show up. So anyway, next is the question on revolvers. Something that somebody asked I mentioned, and I, forgive me, I didn't get a chance, I should have done this last week. I went through some emails last week. I got this in the notes here, it's one of the things I didn't catch up on the last time. I've mentioned jackass rigs, okay? I am a big fan of jackass rigs. Now, what is that? The jackass rigs was the name of a company in the 80s that was doing undercover. There's a number of different companies here. It makes a variation on these. But basically, the weapon is carried in a horizontal, it's parallel to the ground slash perpendicular to your body. Instead of a bucket or a dump holster where you know gravity sucks and it keeps it where it belongs so to speak because You hook the shoulder holster to the belt you have this, you know, leave the holster running parallel with the body which is better for concealment but the advantage of a jackass rig especially if you carry revolvers is you can shoot without getting the weapon out of the Holster and probably get you know still easily fire more than one round if it was absolutely necessary What do I mean by that? Well With a jackass rig it works like a hanging bra Okay, it does not you do have connectors that you can hook up to the belt down below But basically it lays under the armpit You don't want to be doing like a six inch barrel Dirty hairy gun a model 29 or maybe a highway patrolman 27 Although I've carried a 27 in a jackass rig and you know what for the most part because I got a big body I could do that but Traditionally with a K frame or especially a J frame the weapons are virtually invisible But the advantage is you can reach like you're crossing your arms Slide your hand into your coat and have your hand on the weapon ready to fire Now remember the nice thing is mechanical cylinder because of the nature of the mechanism All you have to do is pull that weapon back wires why you've got your arms crossed You can extract that weapon partially from the holster and even cock the weapon in concealed form without anybody realizing what you've actually been doing. In other words, if you're looking at one direction, you know somebody's actually approaching from another, you can turn your body and then just turn your head so that literally you'll be firing from under your armpit with the barrel to the back of your clothing. Oh, you're gonna put a hole in your clothing. Yeah, I'm gonna put a hole in the enemy too. So the advantage of the revolver as always is the idea of point click. And unlike the automatic, which would probably hang up in the holster, you'd have to extract and just pull the weapon. If you have an automatic practices, trust me, I thought this would practice it many times. Instead, you will extract the arm, pull the hand back away from the holster along with the weapon and fire the first round and hopefully not hang up on anything. Needless to say, you've got an enclosed firearm. So yeah, it's going to get a little warm inside the coat, but it's going to not warmer for the person who just tagged the bullet. And this is something that you might just want to think through the jackass range because of the way the weapon is horizontally stationed. It is much more amicable towards what is a casual draw that is people don't think about because people cross their arms. So you can actually be in ready position at the very least so that all you do is pull your arms straight out, bring the weapon up to site alignment and bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. Also, I don't know if Jackass is still in business. I have probably every fixture that Jackass ever made for the Jackass rigs, by name brand. And they were well built. They were all in cow hide. And they were typically also molded to the type of gun that you want to carry. So I had 45. I had Star Brigadier. I had, I have. For instance, a N-frame. K frame and J frame holsters, but now here's the thing. You know a little markings. She says it's like a bra Yes on the other side under your other armpit is where you have either like a dual a magazine pouch or a dual speed loader pouch or in line drop ammunition Ladders for 38 specialist 357 or 44 whatever you're carrying So, mostly the advantage of this thing is that it just naturally hangs because gravity sucks. It's very comfortable. They're very comfortable to wear for hours and hours and hours and hours on end, which I have. And they're run now probably reasonably priced now. There are copies and I will warn you of something. I've seen the nylon ones and we've also tried to explain to people about these. Nylon is slippery, okay? If you use a horizontal rig, you better make sure that your safety carry point is very reliable. And with the cheapy ones, they're not. What'll happen is gravity sucks. And if you move around, you may actually have the weapons slide past your lockdown with a couple of wrong moves. And so that's a consideration, which is why you wanna take a look at the product itself and decide if it makes sense for you based upon what you're doing with it. But the Jackass rigs are very comfortable, reasonably priced, they weren't outrageous. The only thing that brought them up big was that for a little bit there in Miami Mice, they were actually kind of flaunted out there a little bit and the price went stupid for a bit. Then it kind of stabilized again. So just a heads up you can find them typically in the surplus you find sometimes departments bought a bunch of them That's how I got the collection that I had because Brighton Police Department had a whole ton of them on one of the other departments how old Michigan The guy one of the people who was operating there pulled all the inventory out got it for nothing And so I got you know speed loaders Examples of all different carry system and I paid very little for it very little And it was a perfect timing situation because I needed the systems and the options depending upon what weapon I was carrying at the time traveling around the country. So again, I recommend them. Jackass is the name of the brand. Sierra makes, I'm sure Smith makes, I'm sure everybody makes a variation. And if it is a banner name, it probably works. I mean they really have a problem with you know with with the market being finicky the way it is They have a tendency to make sure that it does We have a car, what do we have? Yeah, it's text back, yeah hey I've got one of the They're calling it, it's not a jackass, but they call it the Miami Classic now because it's more horizontal where the jackass it kicks up it kicks the barrel up a little bit higher than the lower part. But Galco, Galco is making the the jackass and the Miami classic and I've got one in for the night my 1911 and like I said it's great but it's great leather extremely nice leather snaps everything works well but the only bad thing is they are not cheap. Hello? What happened a couple of times there is that, like I said, the market interest, because of a little bit of advertising and the movies, went a long way towards bringing the price up. And custom leather is not cheap, ever. It never has been cheap. Sierra, I always loved Sierra with the work they did in leather. The only problem is I couldn't afford everything I wanted, and I hit the window, like I said, with the surplus on the jackass, the jackass rigs that I've got. And I think I'm missing only one. I needed one for a Smith, a Model 59, and I never did find one. I'm sure they were made. But again, for what they are, if you're, they're not a, okay, for everybody we're normally talking tactical combat. These are good for casual wear, okay? Or casual motion with anticipation of actually having to use a defensive weapon, okay? So they are a good system. By the way, Tex-Mex, what else been going on in your neck in the woods, please? Oh, not much. I'm just going to say that I can wear mine in the heat of the summer. I just wear a t-shirt, and then I love these Hawaiian shirts. I get them from the surplus. I mean, the thrift stores, these old Hawaiian shirts, and wow, you're styling. You're styling. Yeah, all you need is the 80s action music in the background and don't forget the cool rays. Gotta have a pair of cool rays or Griffin. Remember the Griffin, oh, come on. Yeah, it was Griffin. Yeah, they gotta have one pair of the other and then you're perfect. You're right in line. And then I think about the line shirts, they're baggy and poofy so they do the job. Go ahead. Yeah, yeah, and it's cool in a summer and everything and nobody knows nothing. I walked around all day. Nobody knows nothing. They don't even have a clue. Perfect. Well, again, the other, my interest in these, especially with a J frame guys, with a person my size, yeah, Tex, you're probably a pretty good size. You're probably a good, healthy guy. The little J frame revolvers when a jackass rig, you don't even know they're there. Nobody does. I mean, they're a little two and a half inch barrel or depending on what you got, charter or Smith or Colt, if you can afford a Colt, like a diamond back. All of them fit very comfortably and are out of the way. But again, they're that little stub nose, pug ugly slash say hello to my little friend gun. The other thing here, balance of that is the other side is you want to track down the right speed loaders because they're actually you can everybody always say this would be overkill, but you can carry one of the speed loader units and because the way the hangers are set up you can actually drop a to keep your silhouette narrower. You can actually get the what they are side by side. They look like magazine holders, but they're not guys. They're actually designed for dropping either like the Sierra speed line loaders, which are like a rubber band of with circular retainers and will carry five or six rounds, depending on which gun you had. Five rounds for the 36. six rounds for your K frames and whatever. And the neat thing is that they have a little retainer so as you pop the snap on the bottom of the holder, you just zip however many rounds you want. In fact, they also set them up so you can just carry loose rounds. So the neat thing is you have two speed loaders and still have another two cylinders worth of ammunition, but it would fit nicely under your armpits and it would really dwell counterbalance the weight of the weapon when you're wearing the thing. And there is still the ability to strap it down to your belt if you want to. You can still, there are bra extenders that go straight down and lock around the belt of the, you know, your pants, whatever you're wearing. So it works out pretty well. It's hard to describe everything, but on the air I have to be a little more descriptive, obviously. But again, the company line itself, since obviously it's still made, the other one's Miami Classic. All I gotta do is gotta have that cabana music when I buy it, though. make me feel like I'm back in Miami Mice. The other thing here real quick is with other holsters, always take the time, use a gun shop as your showroom with need be before you just run out and buy stuff because a lot of places do carry a limited amount of inventory. In fact, you may only find it at the shop, a lot of stuff once it comes out. Like I mentioned, the Model 59 holster, they made it for the jackass, but at the time, trying to find somebody who had one because Model 59 back years ago was actually still laying around in good quantity. And the problem is everybody wanted them for that particular rig. And so if you see it, sometimes you just gotta bite the bullet or in this case, bite the leather and buy it. You know, do a little research on that because if the guy might have the last one, that sounds weird, but it's true because leather for guns is like shoes in surplus, boots in surplus. People think, well, surplus stores should have boots. Guys, you got to have so many pairs of boots in stock. You gotta have all sizes, you gotta have regulars, extras, you sometimes even extra, you know, like narrow, regular, wide, extra wide. So boots are expensive and they are dogs on the shelf sometimes before they move. Holsters are the same way because there's such a wide variety of guns out there. This is why people get frustrated. Well, why don't you have this? Well, if you go look at a catalog for Sierra or Smith or whoever. There are a lot of guns dudes and you know That's why to a certain degree a lot of companies do make a number of generic format like undercover pistol utility carriers Certain types of you know again for the end frame revolvers which were big in the day Those were covered pretty well, but some things were just more unique than others with the automatics You have a lot of issues because of so many different variances in the cut with the slide Not just the frame but look at the difference between a Glock and a SIG You know and then take a look at a 1911 and compare notes and the Glock You know the boxy Glock has certain issues that mean you need certain dimensions So the one it's not one holster fits all not very easily Anyway, we're at the top. We've got a subject. It's kind of clothing for guns. Yeah, it's carrying systems you are listening on Wednes I guess got back from Indianapolis yesterday, no Monday. Indianapolis, the Indy 1500 gun show. And the, it was a bad show for us vendors. And the consensus is people, us vendors, we talk, you know, how you doing, how you doing? And everybody's bearing notes and looking at the attendance coming into place. And frankly, we're all kind of coming to the conclusion. And I don't, I haven't done any gun shows in a while, but People are saying that, yeah, people aren't spending money. The economy is probably worse than they're telling us. And they won't even make attendance. A lot of people walking around and not hardly anybody spending. So anyway, I did terrible. It wasn't worth going. I would have rather stayed and worked on my army truck or all the other projects I got going that I'm trying to complete before weather gets really bad. It's been pretty nice weather. So I did work the last couple of days. I hook up various air compressor lines for the Army truck. I'm going to run back and forth to a hydraulic shop to make up hoses and get various parts to complete hooking up. The engine's in place. Just have to hook everything up, basically, and then there's things that didn't quite match from the old engine to the new engine that I had to get different fittings for. Just making up a really simple hose costs you like 50 to 60 bucks for a very simple small hose. The fitting ends typically cost around $20 to $30. So it's not cheap, this stuff. And it will help you if you have to have really big ballercoats like I need for my big machine. So anyway, working on some projects this morning, I just got really frustrated. I'm coming more and more to the conclusion that I just really don't like all the computers in our lives because I... Got messing around with a couple of those houses that I have here that I'm trying to do some work on. Had two thermostats trying to get the heating system working. Two thermostats, so two zones, it's a heat pump. It's a ground-coupled heat pump, which is an efficient way of heating a home, heating and cooling a home with electric. If you have no source of natural gas or propane, That's the way to do it. A ground-coupled heat pump. Heat pumps are good too, but ground-coupled heat pump is even better. Essentially, a heat pump is like an air conditioner, and like you place in your window, for instance, and if you ever notice when you have your air conditioner running in your window, inside it pushes cold air into the house, and outside it pushes out hot air. Well, if you were to reverse that system, that air conditioner, That's what we call heat pump. It's the opposite. It's true. Cold air coming out, going outside and hot air coming in. And when you get really cold, like zero or very cold like that, Fahrenheit, like 10 degrees, zero, minus 10, in that area, the heat pumps don't really work very well and you almost have to have a lucky backup. But that's an air-couple heat pump. In other words, the unit usually is outside in the backyard somewhere or outside the house. It's a big thing where it's several hundred pounds, the things that they like to seal, you know, and has a compressor in it and an evaporator in any way. That's your main air conditioning unit and your heat pump unit, your heat and air conditioning. But those things, they don't work in really cold temperatures and then really hot temperatures, they struggle too. So they become less efficient. But if you've got a ground couple heat pump, in other words, now instead of having that unit outside, what you'd have is a big, long tube underground outside of your house. The snakes around your house, this pipe might be 500 feet long, might be 1,000 feet long. Snakes around your house underground usually are pretty good depth. Best to have it like five or six feet deep, or deeper if you can. Or it's using water from a well, or it's going straight down and then back up and a bunch of holes drilled. The idea is to use the temperature of the earth as a moderator so that your heat pump works a lot better. Because it stays somewhere depending on where in the country you are. Your ground temperature all year round will probably only be between, say, 50 and 60 degrees almost no matter where you are in the country, the US. And that's a much better system. than the one that's outside making the noise. Plus they have a hard time stealing it because your compressor now is inside instead of in a unit on the outside. It's not underground. Might be in your basement if you have a basement, but it's not underground. But basically it's just a huge collector and an evaporator, I guess is the right word, that snakes underground. So you all look into those if you're having problems with propane. Price of propane I heard is going way up. I filled up a propane tank, a 20 pound propane tank, the other last month. And it was only $18 to refill my own propane tank here in Michigan. I took it and get it refilled instead of getting exchanged. That's what I did. I knew both ways. And then, but I was looking online today, somebody was saying that it cost them $35 in their area to refill a propane tank, a 20-pound propane tank. A 20-pound propane tank is the type you usually see with RVs, the short stubby, almost round tank. Isn't that quite round, but it's a long tank that is outside of the RVs, usually it's up on the trailer tongue area. And that's what they call 20 pound copay tank. And so the price has gone way up. I also saw somebody saying, they're complaining that number two fuel oil, diesel basically, number two fuel oil is diesel with a dye in it. It's meant for home heating. And you're talking close to $5 a gallon. Of course, diesel is pretty much over $5 a gallon in most places in this country. Without the road taxes, they put a red dye in it and they call it number two fuel oil. It's the same thing though. I think we talked about that last show. Anyway, energy is going to be a much bigger issue and being that the Democrats are maintaining a fair amount of power. We don't really know exactly. Here's my one minute blurb on the election. We probably won't know for sure for a month exactly where the House and the Senate lie, but it looks like a pretty close race and more than likely the Republicans are going to be dominating slightly the the house and the Democrats are going to be dominant or at least equal on the Senate. That's what it kind of looks like right now. We don't know because we won't know for about a month because we need a runoff race in Georgia for Herschel Walker and the other guy. And then there's a race in Arizona and Nevada that still is yet to be determined exactly. So anyway, it'll be probably a good month that we know the complete status of both houses. And that's about it. The Democrats are still going to be maintaining some power, of course, presidency, our decomposer in chief. And that means fuel is going to be a big deal here in the next two years, at least. Big deal. We've depleted our reserves, our strategic reserves. If we go to war, we're screwed. And Biden doing it just for election points, for propaganda, essentially. Today, this war in Ukraine and the Biden administration's determination to do away with fossil fuels and the Green Movement is going to, because it's largely a Democrat thing, this whole Green Movement is going to continue now full force. And you're going to see electric cars being basically mandated in by 2035, already been happening in California and other states are considering the same thing. That means you're going to be stuck with an electric car or a hydrogen powered car, which I've also been doing a little bit more study on. And it's not looking good either. Hydrogen looks even worse in electric, unfortunately. There's three different types of hydrogen cars, essentially. One is, I read a report about a V8 engine. Some manufacturers don't remember who it was. But a V8 engine that runs off of hydrogen. And it's not too hard to make an engine run off of hydrogen. That's nothing necessarily that new. fuel cells, which is essentially what they use for spacecraft, for like the Apollo programs. They had a hydrogen tank and an oxygen tank. Well, here on Earth, you don't need the oxygen tank, you just need a hydrogen tank. You can mix it with air, which has oxygen, of course. And your byproduct is just a little bit of water, condensation, moisture coming out of a tailpipe. Well, there's not really a tailpipe, but it is a drain. And that's... You're basically your choices of hydrogen cars. Hydrogen fuel cells make a lot more sense than the hydrogen engines, the internal combustion engines that are converted to hydrogen. They make more sense, the fuel cells, because you'll get more miles per gallon as you will, and it's also quiet. And of course... Some people think that has a disadvantage because you want the you want the loud noise if you want the noise to go along with an engine then you're not going to get it with a fuel cell because it's silent like an electric car. A fuel cell car basically combines the oxygen and hydrogen together or in this case unearthly air and hydrogen together and creates the chemical reaction that makes electricity. Electricity is the outcome of that. Combining those two chemicals, those two gases together and the byproduct is electricity and water. Now if you're in high school and you actually did the destroying water thing where you make hydrogen and oxygen from water, what do you do? You take water, right, regular water, you put these probes in there, you add electricity to it, and then you get out oxygen gas and hydrogen gas, H2O, two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen, right? Well, we're doing the exact reverse of that now. Those same four components you now you're putting combining those two gases together and you're getting electricity and water That's a that's the best way to describe it for those you don't understand anything about a Fuel cell that's what it is. It's just destroying water in reverse you're making water with combining water and and You're combining oxygen and hydrogen together Making electricity and water just the opposite what you put into it if you're destroying water Anyway, I've been studying a little bit more on that. Now that the greenies are going to have their way, expect these fuel pickups to continue. And it's going to be more than a hiccup. It's going to be a disaster in the end. It's going to be bad at first and just going to get nothing to get worse. If the greenies have their way, you're going to be living with exorbitant electricity rates, massive rolling blackouts, energy shortages, rationing, And you'll be forced to have an electric car if you can afford it at all. But maybe that's part of the whole point. Maybe you won't be able to afford it. And that's probably one of the key, greedy means is to do away with fossil fuels. And you're not going to do it with electric cars. And they're not going to get cheaper. And the batteries are going to get more and more expensive and rare. And you're going to need to be rich to have an electric car, to have any car. Get used to it. I don't need to make this whole thing about energy. And as somebody wants to call in about any of those topics I talked about, I'm going to jump to something else, something I haven't covered in many years, several years on this channel, on my show. Although it probably gets talked about on this network a few times. Prepping, we're talking about prepping. We talked about fuel before. And prepping is one of the better ones for storing because unlike... Well, diesel, number two fuel oil doesn't degrade either, although it can degrade some and you can start growing things in it like algae and there's different things that can happen to number two fuel oil or diesel, but it generally doesn't go bad storing for a long period of time. I know some of my diesel cars, I haven't filled them up in 20 years that I have in storage and they seem to start right up. But I do add a little bit of an additive to it that helps. There's a special additive for storage for diesel. And one of the things is it's a fungicide. It kills things that are trying to grow in your diesel fuel. But diesel for a long time. But propane stores even longer. As long as your propane tank doesn't leak, propane has basically an indefinite storage, as far as I've ever researched. gasoline, you don't want to try to store gasoline very long, especially stuff to get out of the pump. If you're getting a 10% or 15% ethanol out of the pump, do not try to store that for more than a few months. It's not going to work. If you have a generator, which you may not use very often, and you're trying to prep by storing fuel, you could convert that to propane or natural gas. You may not really be able to rely on natural gas in an emergency. Preppers don't really want to rely on natural gas much. But if your power is out, your natural gas line might be if you have natural gas in your place. So you might have natural gas when you don't have electricity, might. But you might not have either. And that's why you don't want to rely on your generators primarily as only natural gas. But natural gas and propane are basically the same type of generator. It just takes a little bit of a change in the orifice and the delivery system. And you've got propane basically has an unlimited storage time frame. and it doesn't degrade and you don't really have to worry about it. So, propane is great. Now propane tanks are generally large tanks out in the backyard somewhere and they're very visible and in a disaster situation where everybody is hurting for energy. Nobody has electricity, nobody has gas, nobody has anything. A propane tank is kind of a, well here I am, I see this big tank, I'm over here, I'm over here. And you might get somebody determined and try to tap it out in the middle of the night, some type of tripod from it. And so that's a, or even start taking pot shots at it, just because they're jealous. So that type of propane tank, it's hard to hide those things. But that's what you really need to do if you're going to rely on propane for an emergency situation for preppers. But the little five pound, I'm sorry, the little 20 pounds, they sometimes call five gallon or 25 pound propane tanks, the ones I was describing before, like the Arby's used. Those, even though it's not necessarily safe to store them inside of a garage, say, people do it all the time, and it's much more conspicuous that way, obviously. You can stack those tanks up if you try milk crates. Milk crates are a good way. Plastic milk crates, they fit perfectly inside of a milk crate and you can stack them up. You don't want to stack them too high because they can't tip over because the milk crates don't touch each other, but they help stabilize the base of them. There's other things you can do to store it to stack them. But anyway, that way is a way to store propane that nobody necessarily might know about. And you can hook those up to a generator and hook them up to little propane heaters. You can refill your little one pound cylinder tanks. The little Coleman stove canisters you can get at hardware stores or Menards or whatever. Little one pound. You can fill those up 20 times with a propane tank from an RV. And all it takes is a little, you can go online and look, YouTube has a lot of videos showing how to do this. You can fill those up easy. They cost like six, seven bucks at the store. But if you multiply that by 20 pounds, Then it costs, it's a lot more expensive than refilling them yourself. And you refill them for about a dollar. I mean, depending on the price of what you're paying for propane. You can refill 20 of those things from one of your tanks, from one of your RV tanks. And you can use them in what they call a buddy heater, big button, what do they call those things? Mr. Buddy heaters or the type that goes right on top of a propane tank that emits a lot of heat. You can fill those little one pounders up with the little thing you can get off of eBay or Amazon. I don't know how you would call it or whatever. Just put in keywords, refill propane, and you'll come up with these little, it's just a fitting that has one in the fits inside or outside, inside or outside. Those types of propane tanks that we're talking about for RVs, they have threaded inside and threaded outside. There's two different ways you can couple them together. But anyway, the fitting I'm talking about to refill your own cylinders, has that fitting on one end to go on your big propane tank, and then a fitting on the other end that plugs into the top of your other propane tank. Usually these things are green, these little one pounders are usually green. Coleman stoves, very popular use them, other types of heating devices. And it only takes a few minutes, and you can refill those things, pretty much indefinitely. Now there's some safety things you have to look at and you can do some research before you do that. But the fitting itself only costs maybe 10, 15 bucks. It's not very expensive. And you can refill your own and save a lot of money if you're using those little buddy heaters or whatever they call them. Something buddy. Mr. Buddy, I don't know. All the types of heaters that use those little propane torches, you can refill those. You get one of those little propane screw-on torches. Those types of things you can fill up yourself if you don't know if you have never seen it done go on YouTube and start watching some videos on it and watch more than one because people have different methods of doing them. They're all essentially the same way. You basically put the fittings on and put the fitting on and hook your tank up and you turn your tank upside down, your big tank upside down and then you open up the valve and that's the basic process and then when it's filled you close the valve and unhook it and it's a very simple process. Anyway, so, pumping stores good. Gasoline does not. Now, if you're going to store any kind of gasoline for a generator, make sure to get the stuff without ethanol. That's a must. Get the stuff without ethanol. That's not going to be in your pump. And at least not where you fill your car. A lot of gas stations have, and I can't remember the exact name of it, but there's a website, and I've given it out before, there's a website on the Internet that, and there's probably more than one, I think it's called Real Dash Gas, but I'm not sure about that dot com. RealGas.com, something like that. And that's basically gas that has no ethanol. Like we used to have, you know, 20 years ago. And that stuff will last about a year. It'll last a little longer if you put in some fuel stabilizers, something like SeaFoam or Stabil. There's other brands. Do some research. I use, because I did a lot of research looking into The best one overall for a lot of different things not just restoring gas but also for cleaning things and all the other benefits you supposedly get better fuel economy all that I use sea foam. That's just my preference, but there's other good ones some people swear by the Boy can't remember the name of the stuff here comes in is there like a yellow color it comes in a clear rectangular bottle Hot something I'm sorry. I can't remember anyway anyway, so a lot of people bus where by other things and I don't necessarily swear by see foam But that's what I use because I can use it in Gasoline engines and for a lot of different things not just for storage and you can extend your search But don't expect to be able to store gas for two years five years anything like that. You still need to use it to rotate it You may not use your generator that much, but you need to do it, you know at some point before the fuel gets too old bump it in your car Your car will still run on that stuff and then refill it with fresh stuff and then treat it if you want. And also use that in any small engine, your two-stroke engines especially. Make sure you're using the stuff without ethanol. Very important. You're going to ruin your carburetors and fuel lines and you're going to have a mess on your hand. You're going to want to throw away the damn machines because they don't want to stir on you. Some things that you don't use very often, such as snow blowers or lawnmowers. a lawnmower suit all winter. You might then find out your lawnmower doesn't start because you used ethanol fuel in it come springtime. Chainsaws, leaf blowers, rototillers, any of your small engines that you don't use all the time, make sure you use non-ethanol gasoline. The must. And if I was you, I'd use it in your riding lawnmower and your lawnmower too. Stuff costs more than a dollar a gallon more than gasoline though. Gotta tell you, sometimes two dollars more a gallon. But do you want to, having to replace your carburetor and have a machine that doesn't work when you need it? Or a generator? When you need an emergency, all of a sudden you find out it's got bad fuel because it's not too long. Use the regular gasoline without ethanol. When you run your generator, I leave the fuel in the generator. But if it becomes too long, I'll either pour the gas out and put it in the car or run a generator for a time. But I use a stabilizer also. And when you shut down the generator, they generally say the best practice is, especially if you're going to use ethanol fuel, make sure you do this. Run the carburetor dry. So shut off the fuel valve between the tank and the carburetor and run the engine dry. especially if you're using ethanol fuel. But you should do that with regular gasoline too. They say there's different schools of thought. Some will tell you that all that dries off the O-rings and things, and others say, well, no, you really should do that all the time. And so there's different schools of thought. That part of it might not be that important to drain the carburetor. You can drain it manually too with a little plug in the bottom of the bowl sometimes. Well, not all carburetors have that, but a lot of them do the little... Tiny little screw that on the bottom of the bowl the carburetor you can Drain the gas out that way if you want I find it easier just to run a drive Okay, so so fuel options Propane is probably your best bet for preppers for storing with the knowledge that you really can't hide the tanks and a word of caution if your garage is heated or wherever you store the propane. They don't have to be stored in the heated areas. But if you store it in a garage, it might be a little bit heated. Or if you store it, you really shouldn't store them in the house. Cross space would be better. But even then, any gas appliance in the area create a little spark. Or a lot of them have the pilot light standing anyway. And all of them have a spark when they start up if they don't have the pilot light. You could have an explosion so it's never recommended to store those inside and close buildings That's why they have the big tanks out back so many feet from the house But the garage, you know, you can get away with it But if the garage is heated just keep that in mind if you have any kind of leak in one of those tanks You could end up with an explosion. So that's the danger, but you could that's the same holds true for gasoline tunes from gas tanks could also do that and Fuel oil though number two fuel oil is much more stable in that respect You can have an open barrel of number two fuel oil, your heating oil, and you can drop a match in it, like in an open container, like a 55-gallon barrel full of number two fuel oil. It will put the match out. It won't really light. The same is definitely not true for gasoline or propane, or gas or propane anyway. So diesel fuel is stable in that respect. You can store it in 55 gallon drums, and I did this at one time as well, diesel fuel, and put the additive in there, and come back years later and it should still be good. Be aware of leaking though and also for expansion and contraction. If it's in a garage or if it's outside where the sun gets ahold of it, and you could actually burst open your container. It probably won't explode, but it could crack open your container or pop the pop the seams on it if you have it in a barrel, the heat of the sun, because it will expand some. So you almost need to just leave that... When I store it, I just leave the cap a little bit loose, a little screw-on cap for a 55-gallon drum. I just left it a little bit loose so a little bit of air can go in and out. And then moisture, that's why you have the... One of the reasons you have the stabilizer for the diesel. Let's see here, I got about half an hour left of my show, nobody's calling in. How about, let's talk more about prepping here. Talk about fuel, because fuel's gonna become a big thing now, the Democrats are still going to be largely in power, and the green agenda will continue, and you're gonna be hurting the rest of your life. You're gonna see a massive shift in energy, energy prices, energy availability, energy usage. That's a big thing in your future. How about water? Let's talk about water over there. Because I had some questions on one of my videos recently, and I was answering them. And the guy wasn't believing me or whatever. I don't know what his problem was. Well, I could use this. I could do that. I could do that. And my Berkey and my bubble. No, no, no, no, no, no. No, no. For safe water. Let's talk about surface water here first. Surface water is basically water that comes out of a stream, river, lake, pond. And you have to include, sort of, you have to include spring water with that because spring water might have been surface water 100 feet before it got underground or 500 feet before it got underground and might not be safe. Typically spring water is safe from your things that will make you sick, viruses, bacteria, those are your main ones. that will make you sick by drinking water from the surface water. Well water, as long as the well was safe before the disaster, the well water will be safe after the disaster. Your problem is getting water out of the well if you have no power. So if it's a fairly shallow well, shallow wells are not as safe. But if that's what you have and you've been using it, it's been approved, which probably wouldn't get approved today. By shallow wells, I'm talking like 20 feet, 30 feet deep. Although you can get water that way, it might not be very safe. Not as safe as the deep wells. But if you have a shallow well like that, you can use a pitcher pump. You can use a home depot and you can get them at the... and the Harbor Freight tools. Little pitcher pump and I think they probably only cost about 30 or 40 bucks. I don't really know what they cost these days. Little manually hand operated pump and get an extra package of seals, of rebuild kit. They're easier to build than these leather seals because if they break, if you have it sitting a long time and you don't use it, like sitting on a shelf in your garage, it's on the dry out and you really should be able to, you really should. haven't hooked up and use it once in a while. Otherwise, that seal, which is kind of like a cork, it tends to dry out and then it can crack easily and then your pump's no good. The pump could easily rebuild just a wrench and a screwdriver, I think, but it's something you need to be prepared for, have an extra kit available, that rebuild kit. So, shallow wells aren't as good as deep wells. Deep wells, the problem, of course, you won't be able to get water that's... more, let's say, more than 30 feet down with your standard pitcher pump. There's other types of pumps you can get. They become much more expensive. And there's other ways of doing it. Of course, you'd have a generator and be able to run your pump that way. If your generator is powerful enough, you're well pumped. And then you get running water in the house and it's not that hard. And the generator will have to be running for a minute or two and then shuts off and you've got running water for some time until the pressure tank. Anyway, well, the well water, that's one way. Another way I devised, you probably know where the cap of your well is. In emergency, when you can't run a generator, let's say you don't want to make the noise because nobody else has a generator. Because that's another possibility. You can do it solar too. Solar is a little more difficult. It needs a lot more power and a battery bank large enough to run such a large pump because those well pumps aren't small motors. Those are pretty hefty motors. So you can do it with solar, but it's going to take a lot more planning and preparedness for that. You're not going to just do it with a little thing you put out in your backyard. And you need a certain amount of current and amperage and voltage to start those pumps. But here's the way you can do it in an emergency. If for instance you don't have any more fuel or you don't want to raise your generator because you'll become a target. If somebody hears you have a generator and everybody else is out of fuel, for instance, you have to determine first how deep your well is. Give yourself some pipe. Now, there's different types of pipe you can use. A check valve is actually your, the key to it is a check valve. Check valve is probably most of you know, allows water to go in one way and not the other. Now, if you were to, put that check valve down into the static level of the water down in your well. It might be 100 feet down, it might be more. But if you put that check valve down in that water and go as deep as you can go with it and then pull it back up, you'll have water in that check valve. Now, obviously, it's not just a check valve. You've got to hook it up to something. And what you really hook it up to is a length of pipe. Let's say most people have if you have a deep well, you probably have a five or six inch pipe But let's say you have a four inch pipe going down in there You can get a two inch PVC pipe to get to a PVC check valve and the piece of PVC pipe Maybe make it four feet or six feet long something you can handle easily tie some cables to it, not just string, not just fishing line, something very stable, something that's not going to break because if it's going down there 100 feet and something happens, it breaks. When it's down there, you're kind of screwed. You lost your component down there and it's mucking up the works. But if you have, like, say a four or six foot piece of PVC pipe glued onto that PVC check valve, And you have 100 foot of, let's say, aircraft cable, a stainless steel aircraft cable, that's good news, with the proper crimps and everything to make sure it's not going to come off, drill a hole right through the PVC pipe and feed it right through, lower that down in that water, and you pull it back up, and you're pulling up probably about a gallon of water in a two-inch pipe, it's six foot long, four foot or six foot long. There's nothing but an ideal way to do it, but it's in an emergency, it's quiet, you can do it at night when nobody's looking. And you can pull up some water in not too great a time frame. It doesn't take too long to do that. About a gallon at a time. The bigger the pipe, the bigger you can make your rig. Just don't make it too big and heavy because you got to, remember, you got to not only pull it all the way up, it's got to be light enough to be able to do that repeatedly because you're probably going to want more than one gallon or maybe your system you devise can do three gallons at a time. It gets kind of heavy and tiresome, so you probably want to limit it to a one gallon or less at a time with each lift. Plus, you have to make sure your cable is strong enough if you do have a bigger rig. So that's a way to get emergency water from your deep well. Your deep well will be safe. Even if there's nuclear or more, your deep well will be safe. If it's covered, which all deep wells are, should be. then it's going to be safe from fallout. It's going to be safe from animals. You don't want, of course, you don't want anything falling in your well, because a dead animal falling in, an animal falling in your well, not being able to get out, that's a death to your well. You have to disinfect the thing, get the animal out of there. It's not a fun thing. So make sure you keep it covered. If you have city water and you have no other source of water and an emergency, get yourself And you should do this. There's different schools that thought about this. You have, right now in your house, even if you live in the city and haven't prepared at all, you have about two weeks of food storage and about two weeks of water storage. And you know that? Yes. You look in your cabinets, your refrigerator, and you start eating down your food, you'll find you have, you can go for about two weeks with what you've got in your cabinets and your refrigerator and freezer, because that's what you want to eat first. And that'll get you through. And you can go two weeks without food anyway, but it's much more fun to eat than starve. And Red Cross and all the emergency services, governmental services, they say all you really need is two weeks of the food and water storage anyway. That's what they say. So you already have it. And water storage, well, how do you have two weeks with water? Well, you got a water heater. Unless you got a tankless water heater, you got a water heater. And you've got probably 30 or 40 gallons of that thing. And that water will be safe to drink. It's been, it's been pasteurized for the last however many years. It will be safe to drink that water. You drain it from the bottom of the tank. Here's the word of the caution comes in. At the bottom of your tank you have a valve of water, a standard water heater. Whether it's gas or electric, you have a valve at the bottom. Unfortunately, that valve may be plugged with silt. In other words, if you go turning that valve on, you may get absolutely nothing come up. So what you need to do with that is, in an emergency, What you can do, you open up the, first of all, open up the valves upstairs or whatever. Open up some valves somewhere in your plumbing system at home. And have a little, it's a little garden hose sitting on the bottom of that water heater. And let's say you open up that valve and nothing comes out. First of all, you should have a little length of garden hose and a fitting to go on there so that... If the valve doesn't kick, because the problem is you get salt in that valve and it might open up, it might not close back up. Then all your water is running out, you don't have any control unless you have enough cans and bottles and jugs to catch all that water, all that 30 or 40 gallons or 50 gallons that you have, you're going to lose all your water. So what you do is you get a length of hose. That's about five or six feet long garden hose doesn't have to have an hour has to have the end they hooked up to your water meter That way if the valve doesn't close all you have to do is lift that hose up above the level of the tank and it'll stop flowing So that's your safety there if it doesn't if it if the valve doesn't close when you open it up That's your way to shut off the water right just look you just you know how to do that and your safety if If you open up the valve and nothing comes out, you probably, and if you, again, if you open up the valve somewhere else, kitchen sink, whatever, anywhere in the system, to let air in the system, take that guard nose and blow like hell on it, see if you can get it to bubble through that silt. Then if it does, if you do hear bubbles going through, then immediately put the hose down and try to drain out the garbage out of there first. where the first gallon or two is going to be nasty looking, get that garbage silt out of the bottom of your tank, and then stop the flow if it'll shut off. Again, if it doesn't shut off, you just raise the hose high enough. Simple. If you have access to compressed air, that would be a lot easier of task because you may not have the power to blow your own, with your own energy through there, but you might. The other option is, and depending on the type of valve you have, if you have the gumption to do this, you're better off putting a quarter turn valve valve on. You all know the type. You turn it, you turn the handle one quarter, turn, and it's a full blast, full open. That's a good way, and what you want to do with that valve is every once in a while, at least every year, open up that valve for a little bit and flush out the bottom if there's any silt on the bottom of that tank. More likely, even if you have city water, you might still have a tiny bit of soap down there more than likely. If you have city water, more than likely you aren't going to have very much. But if you have well water, you're going to have some. Blow that out and get a quarter-turn valve out and bucket and get a whole bucket or two out of there until it starts coming up pretty clear and close the valve. Those types of valves will open and close. pretty much without failure, pretty much. Not always, but pretty much. And if you do that every once in a while, get the silt out of your tank, then you've got two weeks of the water stored and you didn't do anything, other than make sure your water heater was going to provide when you needed it. Okay, now surface water, if you have to get surface water, very, very important, do not drink the surface water without treatment. You can treat it yourself, and there's several ways you can do this, but The one thing, if you have a Berkey or an Ocarina or a Proper or some type of water filter system, let me rephrase that, a gravity type water filtration system, which a lot of you have, do not expect to get safe water from your Lake Pond stream, river, whatever, surface water. You could have viruses present although your Berkey pro-pur and ocarin will filter out bacteria cysts protozoa It will filter out that bigger stuff. It's limited to about 0.3 microns but a virus measures between 0.005 and 0.3 microns so that virus can go through that filter the Berkey the pro-pur the ocarin I'm just naming naming the three most popular brands out there. You may have something different But those filters, those gravity-thed filters, will not remove a virus. In fact, the CDC is very clear about it. Filtration is not effective in removing a virus. That's a direct quote from the CDC. They said, oh, well, I don't like it. I get people saying, well, you chose the CDC? OK, well, then use the German version of the CDC or the Bulgarian version of the CDC, whatever. They're all going to say essentially the same thing. Filtration is not effective in removing a virus. A virus too small. Didn't you learn that about the mask thing, the whole debacle with COVID? They'll go through those masks, right? We know that. Go through a gas mask. A virus will go through, can go through a gas mask, can go through a M95. It will stop bacteria, but it won't necessarily stop. It might get tangled in there, it might stop some of it, but it will not stop, it cannot stop the virus positively. So you'd hepatitis A, anegytas, gastrointestinal, gastrointestinal, gastrointestinal illnesses, diarrhea, vomiting, cramps. You don't want any of this stuff. You do not want this stuff. And that's what you could end up getting if you just because any type of viruses are sources of viruses and drinking water for humans are human and animal fecal waste. So if you're If you've got animals doing their thing in your your surface water, which of course you do your lakes ponds streams rivers that sort of thing You have animals that are doing their business in that water and maybe humans do if things are bad enough Then you may have a virus present now Fortunately virus is typically attached to survive very long and free water a virus has to attach to something a little piece of something a little microscopic piece of dust dirt debris, whatever a carrier To last very long, a virus has to have a carrier. It doesn't last very long in air or water without attaching to something. Whether it be a piece of dust, a piece of dirt in the air, or in water, dust or dirt in the water. A virus, just a virus in water, a pure viral in water will not last very long at all. So in North America, viruses in water is pretty rare in normal times. We have a great water treatment system in this country. But when things break down in a survival situation, so does the water treatment systems. So what do you do? For viruses, bacteria, protozoa, all the things that are going to make you sick, rolling boil for one minute. Without fail, rolling boil for one minute is the most effective means of taking care of viruses or bacteria in water. It will make the water safe to drink. Now, that's assuming we're not talking about, okay, you have oil in your water or you have lead in your water or you have fertilizers in your water or whatever. It's not going to take care of those things. It's going to make it safe to drink as far as not making you sick from the biological. Got me? So rolling boil for one minute. Now if you have a Berkey or a looper or a Aquarain or one of those types of filtration systems, obviously you'd probably want to put it through that also, whether it's before or after the boiling, probably before you boil it. You probably want to put it through one of those and then boil it for one minute. Rolling boil for one minute. At a higher altitude that's going to be a little bit more difficult. boil it, because the more heat it will take longer at high altitudes. But rolling boil for one minute is one way. It's not the only way, but it is one way and it is probably the easiest because all of you can boil if you have any sort of fuel whatsoever, and we're talking maybe even wood here, if you have any fuel whatsoever, you can boil some water. That's a no-brainer as far as survival goes. You need a way to start a fire and boil water. That's like a must. You don't have those skills. You need to start developing them right away. Because that's an absolute must. If you watch these survival shows, that's the number one thing they're going to need is a fire. And then something put it in. Anything metal, metal pot of some kind, hubcap. They don't make hubcaps on metal anymore, but whatever. Something that'll hold water, you can boil water in. And it'll make the water safe to drink, aside from all those other things, and some of which you can filter out, other things you can't. Now, The next method, and this is also coming from the CDC, and sorry if you don't like the CDC, but frankly, if you want to say the CDC is lying to you on certain things like this, then you are worse than a Trump denier. You might as well go Huff-Lice-Off or whatever he was saying you can use to kill the virus from somebody, whatever. The CDC or any government agency dealing with health, If you don't listen to their advice and if you're so much in denialism, you're probably going to die. All right? So disinfection. So filtration is not effective. Rolling boil is the best. Filtration is not effective. Disinfection with iodine, chlorine, or chlorine dioxide has a high effectiveness in killing virus. But, okay, rolling boil has a very high effectiveness in killing viruses. But disinfection with iodine, chlorine, and chlorine dioxide has a high effectiveness. In other words, it's not quite as good, but it will still do the trick. So iodine, do you have iodine? I'm not talking about potassium iodate or potassium iodite. I'm talking about iodine. You can buy iodine tablets at your sporting goods stores. Coleman is one brand that makes them. Iodine generally tastes pretty bad, so the brand that Coleman makes has another tablet you put in there that neutralizes the taste. But you can still drink it. Follow directions carefully. See if there's dates on it. Because chlorine, for instance, because you can use bleach to do this. Clorox bleach, I'm not trying to advertise anybody here, but this is how everybody knows what clorox bleach is. That stuff gets old after a while. If it's really old and under your cabinet for years and take a smell to it, you're going to find out it doesn't smell a whole lot like bleach anymore. The stuff gets weak. It loses its potency. So always have a fresh supply of bleach if you're going to try to use it for that. You put so many drops of bleach directly in the water, you drink it with the bleach in it. So make sure you understand and look up online how many drops of bleach per gallon of water you're trying to treat. And that's a safe way also of high effectiveness, not very high, but high effectiveness in killing viruses, bacteria, etc. Chlorine dioxide is another compound that you can buy generally at sporting goods stores. I know the military uses it also. I have some devices that use chlorine dioxide tablets. And that also disinfects the water. Follow the directions again and look for dates, if there is any on those. The military had one that I think it's called chloroflox. That's a chlorine dioxide mixed with a flocculent, which actually It's a whole different story, but there's there's water treatment systems that if your water is very cloudy Let's say you have water that's got a lot of muddy suspended stuff in it Cloriflox and treat the water make it safe to drink and clarify the water so I'll make it more clear It clumps up the solids together and drops them to the bottom of your container So you get clear water chloroflox. I think that's a brand that the military uses a name I'm not sure if it's a brand that's what they call it in the military Okay, now there are some other methods, and before I run out of time here, I'm going to have to go over them really quickly, because I don't have much time. Reverse osmosis, not really a filtration system. The rest of these I'm going to list you can't really use very readily in a emergency survival system, because reverse osmosis requires water pressure. And they do make manual hand pumps, life rafts, where you can even use it for seawater, salt water. But you pump it for an hour you get like a pint of water is ridiculous. It's been a very expensive But anyway reverse osmosis Distillation now if you can boil water you might be able to steal it and that would take care of more than just Killing things it could also make the water more pure if you do have other things in your water you're trying to get rid of so distillation pasteurization Pasteurization, let's say you can't get it hot enough to boil it You just all you have is a sign and maybe a black container Look online and find out how long you can pasteurize like you can pasteurize milk. You can pasteurize water in 120 degree water, 150 degree water, whatever, but it's going to take a lot longer than a one minute rolling boil. So find out the formula for that. Find out how long it has to sit in that hot sun in a black garbage bag or whatever for how long, and then that will make it safe. But make sure you find that out beforehand. You won't be able to go online and find out when things are all gone to hell. So I'll find out how to pasteurize. Ozone is another one, but that's going to be another one that's going to be difficult because you're going to need electricity or an ozone supply of some sort. Ultraviolet light, although you can do it with sunlight, you've got to be very careful if you do it with ultraviolet light, that's the argument I have with sunlight. But if you do it with sunlight, okay. Or I can use UV lights, I can buy these UV lights. Well, okay, what frequency of light? You have to be able to answer all these questions to have safe water via UV light. What's the frequency? What's the lumens? How powerful is that light? How clear is the water? Is it cloudy or is it clear? How deep does it penetrate? If you put a two liter soda pop bottle that's clear in the sun, will it penetrate? How long do you leave in the sun? You gotta be able to answer all those questions before you try using UV light to do this method. Another one is gloidal silver. Gloidal silver can also kill things in the water. Again, follow directions. Hopefully your brand is good because frankly there's a lot of brands out there that aren't that legitimate, as you know what I mean. Like supplements, sometimes supplements, they're selling you garbage. Hopefully your co-oil is over you have, but that's something you could treat the water with as well. Follow the directions for it or go online to find out what the concentrations are used for how much water and how long you have to wait. But you can't just add it immediately and start drinking it. You have to give it time to work. So make sure you check that. Again, this is stuff you need to do before the stuff hits the fan because you're not going to be able to go online and find out this stuff later. Life straws are dangerous. Do not use a life straw drinking directly out of a pond, river, stream, or whatever. I know a lot of people have them. Well, look, honey, $20, we can use this thing. It will not filter out a virus. Don't use the Berkey. Berkey don't even filter as much as the other brands that I mentioned. The Berkey filter's down to about .9. .9 microns. The Ocarina and the Properp filter down to .3 microns. We're going to take out more. But the Berkey has silver impregnated and it's black. Okay, how long it goes through so fast? Does it have time for the silver to actually do its job? It's the silver impregnated. What's the flow rate on those? You know a Berkey, you're going to get about a gallon. Gallon an hour with one filter. I can't remember now with the first operating you get you're gonna get about one-fourth of that in the same time frame you're gonna be about a quart in an hour something like that depending how many filters you use Because it doesn't it filters down much finer takes longer for the water to go through In an emergency you could also use a flower pot, you know a clay flower pot the old school cloth flower pots plug out that bottom hole put water inside the inside the flower pot and hanging over a five gallon bucket or some kind of container and that's a ceramic filter. It won't take out viruses, but in a pinch you got a water filter. Let's see, your roof. Beware, rainwater is good, but off your roof is not because as soon as that rainwater hits your roof it's contaminated. Is your roof sterile? If you ever collected rainwater from a roof, you'll notice that all kinds of stuff washes down into your barrels or whatever you're collecting your cistern. All kinds of garbage. The birds do their nasties on your roof, but they do. Squirrels run around up there. It's not sterile, so the rainwater still needs to be treated just as it was surface water. Unless you're standing under the rain with your mouth open, catching the few drops that actually hit inside your mouth, you need a container of some kind and it has to be sterile. Your roof is definitely not sterile. Do not rely on rainwater alone without treatment. You're asking for trouble. Okay, well my time is up and I soon do that pretty quickly on water. We will do that some other time as well. So thank everybody for listening. I am afraid you were listening to a big dog. If you could listen to a Wednesday, she's having a nice minute to listen to some live. Thanks everybody for listening. Until next time, I'll walk you through the mist. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three cornered hat and speaking low to me he said, we fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations this legacy we gave. In this, the length 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. The number you traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize family farms 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 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 of the land of the brothers and Northwest, Southeast and 4M satellite. They had all of our friends for killing every ocean on the planet that are re-listening via a satellite handheld unit, one form or another, or a shipboard, also inland. And we're on a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. Channel 27 CB here in the state of Michigan is being tested these Second backup, we actually have a lot of other backups, CB radios for the primary. 27 has an alternate broadcasting site for emergency broadcasting beyond the 27 repeater and the area where it's been running for almost more than 35 years because it's been running since before Liberty Tree Radio and before Republic Radio International. Just a heads up on that. Anyway, it is, well, it's the 9th of November. It is the day after the state collection and we're every day and in every election it's just so close it's 50 50 49 51 49 55 that's more than 100% well why worry about that anymore but you'll still be close long as it's that makes you believe that half the population are queers and three dollar bill of bettos want to group your third grader you're fine okay well of course that's true there may be that many them up there once they're on Prozac you don't know what they got them conditioned to But anyway, it is the 14th year of open obvious and in your face Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K 2022 old earth calendar help me Spock help me good. Now to Lincoln and 2022 battle for the Republic, the dance of swords and it has been a very busy week and it's only Wednesday. Of course, it's the day after the fake collection. And like I said, every day is 50-50, plus we now have to work on the new Demikin gibberishies for the Pennsylvanians. Half of the Pennsylvanian population are dumb as a box of rocks. Obviously have their heads so far up their arse can be pulled out with a crowbar and they understand gibberishies or they prefer it. Those very stupid people dressed as they are, well. Do I really believe that it's half the population there? Well, the Jewish mob has pretty well got control of the election process there. So it's a dead issue really. It's moods like California, California gators, you know? Well, look, we might be changing a little. Don't y'all leave? We might even have a republle rat that's coming to office somewhere in California somewhere. To create the illusion that, well, maybe things are changing. No, the left coast stupid is gonna stay left coast stupid. Another thing here real quick again, be able to say we still have, we're not sure of the counter. We're having such a hard time and voting machines failing at once. To me, that's the most fascinating. It's convenient too. So, oh, so convenient. Those voting machines just all of a sudden, they'll have to be used a couple times a year, maybe only sometimes once a year. But amazingly enough, they just couldn't get them to work right. All of a sudden, machines were breaking left and right at the hands of the leftists. the rest is history as they say. Everybody apparently enjoys it cuz he's just going along for the ride and 50-50 is the name of the game. No matter what, there's just not that many of anybody out there. It's always that halfway. So you gotta put up with bull BS created by the minority, creating the illusion that there's some kind of equity. That's what that BS is all about. And of course you have to bite the bull because you just gotta be reasonable. Well, that's all we got on the shipwreck in the first place. That's why the ship's continuing to sink. So, a couple of the things here. There was a question about the M1 Grand. How many rounds did you carry for a Grand? Now this is interesting, because I know guys, most of them are all dead now, World War II, and I do know a few that are still alive from Korea. You may see this if you pay attention in images, but one of the guys, he was at the chosen reservoir. And basically what he did is he had a regular cartridge belt and this is what I saw a lot of guys doing World War II the same way. In fact, the gentleman that landed at Audidai second wave on Omaha Beach, of course he said that unlike the movies, when they jumped off of the transports, his feet never touched the sand. No movie ever does justice to what it really looked like. It was bodies from the water all the way to the that little sand sandbar of firewall that they all ran to. Everywhere in between after the first wave went in was corpses and half of the team of half the group, well at least a third of it that went in became corpses too. So but what he said is basically what he did is use standard 10 round cartridge belt, but then they would take a second one and use it like an attachable adjusted over the other belt laying a little higher. And it's kind of like what I was telling you about with the breakout kit. What you do, they carry that. Of course, they had bandoliers, which were just like cloth with five round stripper clips or eight round D clips, depending on what rifle you were carrying, because they were guys carrying the O3. Springfield as a designated rifleman weapon both in World War II, you know from the middle to the end and in Korea through the whole of the Korean War. Every tenth man in a unit typically was carrying an O3-H3 in Korea. But anyway, a 10 pocket cartridge belt with extra hangers on that because you could pick up other hangers to carry first aid or your canteens were hung on the M1910 hangers. You might be familiar with, look like coat hanger wire, only thicker, heavier. And then on top of that, they carry bandoliers, however many they felt they were willing to carry. But by carrying two of the cartridge belts, you double your capacity. However, there was a little trick to that. And it's the same thing I was talking about with a breakout kit. As several of them would say, there were cartridge belts everywhere. Guys are dying all over the place and supply always had, that's one thing supply did have piled up from the bodies and went back to medical. Is they'd have the old cartridge belts laying there. So after they fire up the add-on cartridge belt, they dump it. They just drop it. They didn't have to worry about it. They pick it up again later if it was a short contact or they would just pick up another one when they could. But what this did is it gave them two sets of D-clip near your body bandoliers, 10-shot cartridge belts, to operate off from. So it was a good idea. To be quite honest, if you're using a grand, there's no reason not to use the standard 10 pocket cartridge belt with other suspenders, for instance. Now, in World War II, there were six points of contact. or eight, depending upon which suspender system you had. And most of those overlapped from the World War II pattern. Well, they wanted to make them cheaper, they wanted to make them lighter, they wanted to make them less expensive. So eventually they went to the quad, two front, two rear, which you're familiar with, which becomes the eight suspender. Both of those work. Any of the World War II, hell, the World War I, World War II, Korea, and early Vietnam slash left over Korea 50s issue. Standard A suspenders will work with the cartridge belt. So if you wanted to, and I'd recommend this, you can get an aftermarket, brand new, unissued cartridge belt. Right now they're relatively, they're medium priced. They're cheaper than they were because they're not as in vogue for the reenactors. And they built a lot of these things. In fact, Sturm, the company that brought them in from China, still has probably 50 to 100,000 on the shelf, who knows what they got right now. But I would use that as the foundation for my tactical rig, you don't need a vest. Here's the neat thing, I've done this millions of times, I've put many troops together. We have whole grand units, they carry grands, Browning 1919s, and other 30-06 rifles, they're right, they're OTSIC units. And they own all kinds of other weapons, but they're an OTSIC unit. You take the standard cartridge belt, ten pocket, take your pick which year, World War I, World War II, Korea. You take a US set of eight suspenders, the standard one is the Type 56, 1956 variant. And by the way, more on that in a minute, there's a bunch of those over at Sportsman's Guide, cheap right now. They're the Belgian copies, they're exact copies, they are perfect. You don't need to be Vietnam surplus in order for them to work. But I take the H suspenders, which I've done many times, take a standard of 1956 Fanny Pack Butt Pack slash three-day pack, that's its actual name. Hook that up to your pistol belt, to the back end of your cartridge belt, forgive me. And there's your hangers for your back suspenders. And you still have plenty of room left and right, just like you would with your TA-56 gear with any other weapon you were carrying for a couple of US canteen covers on either side of the butt pack. Perfect combat ring. Now you want more? Here's a little trick. And I've done this and I had our seamstresses, a couple of our people up north did this years ago, just like when we did the chest pouches that had the drum pouch in the middle, which we still make. You could take one of those cartridge belts. Used to be we had tons of them that were surplus. They were $2 or $1 apiece. You separate them because they will unsleeve from the back strap, depending on what model you got. Okay? When you do that, you basically have two five pocket belt systems. Now what you do is take those and do the German paratrooper routine. You slide those, you take the front latch off your H suspenders, disconnect that, slide those up, hook them up to hook the unit up to the hanger D ring up above that's on your H suspender. You lace everything through the cartridge belt and then hook it back up to the front of the cartridge belt where the hanger belongs. Now you've got 10 pockets around the waist and you have two five pockets vertical. Now the trick is you're going to have to still stitch those, which people do it in different ways. Some use zip ties. But you can mount those so that they'll stay static and they're virtually laying up and down front of your web gear, or front part of your web gear. You now have 20 pockets and you still have all the rest of your hangers for your medical, your aid suspenders still has your compress pouch in the top left station, all the other fun stuff. And it is a really useful package. Now, you want to mount the flaps so that they open to the center of your chest. In other words, you don't want the cartridges outside, you want them both lines of pockets facing towards the center where you button your shirt. Think about it that way. The neat thing about this is it works really well. It distributes the weight better. It's not as centralized in two big lumps like with the mag pouches. And with the D-clips, you can tighten up the rig, especially wearing body armor underneath anyway, it's gonna snug up. And the thing doesn't slide around. Actually, it's pretty comfortable. Everything's where it's supposed to be, but it's also easily accessible. Not only do you have the normal 10 that are on the belt, but you have the 10 pockets up front that you can reach without hardly moving your hand, which reduces time from the pouch to the magazine well to boom. Okay, so just something to think about there. Bunch of little tricks. Of course, again, bandoliers, bandoliers, and more bandoliers. And it's just a matter of what you can find laying around out there. Now there is, there are, for the TA-56 gear or whatever other system you want to use if it uses a pistol belt. And rather than the cartridge belt, you know, you have just a regular pistol belt with all the hangers and the clip up front. Over at... ApexGunParts.com ApexGunParts.com ApexGunParts.com They have a double pocket grand pocket. It's not a cartridge belt. It's just two pockets where normally there would be the M14 mag pouch or your M16 mag pouch. It's the same idea, but just two pockets side by side. Now there's nothing that says you have to just use two pockets. two on one side, two on the other. But this was made for the Greek military. They obviously, of course, like most of NATO, had the grand at one time or another. In fact, a lot of the grands going down to the CMP are coming from Greece right now. They have some used in good condition and they have some really nice ones. I don't know what they have left and they do sell out, but they do seem to have a regular source. Obviously, probably the same surplus jobber that they've been dealing with. If you want to, check them out. Go over to apexgunparts.com. Go look in their mag pouches and field gear. They don't have much, but they do have a few things. And it may even be in the sales section. Every once in a while, we put it over in the sales clearance section as a deal for the used slash soiled. That's what I would pick up. Pretty doesn't mean anything. Functional is what counts. So you're looking at something that it's not that it's been used, it's just badly stored. That's all there is to it typically, but either way they work and so those are two solutions for you grand operators You people wanted to work with them You can use any of the mag pouch you choose But remember that those mag those cartridge belts were designed, you know for the grand deep, you know D clip or two five five round stripper clips So they work really well Now on that note, one other thing, it's weapons Wednesday, I gotta touch on this a little bit more. The BAR belts used to be cheap. Right up until even into the early 90s, the government was still pulling bales of these cartridge belts and the BAR magazine belts out of inventory. When they would come out of surplus, they came out literally in bales, like cardboard bales, cardboard When you're recycling cardboard, you throw in the cardboard compactor. When you're done, you're wired up. Imagine that size bale. And amongst the bale, there'd be so many, there'd be like 10 cartridge belts per bundle, and there were so many bundles per bale. Well, they were a dollar or two a piece, brand new, unissued. And we saw everything from World War I, M19, 18 units with the buttstock cup on the right side. Most of them have the double mag pouch for the 45 ACP pistol. And so you got sometimes you got that cup for holding it in the assault position, letting the rig actually you put the bus stock of your BAR into this cup and used it from the assault hip position to fire. Hip firing from the hip man from the hip. Yep, that's exactly what they did. But that was not the only model and it was not popular with everybody. The six pocket are typically what you find nowadays. The World War I and early World War II have five BAR pockets. They hold two magazines each, and they will hold the two 45 ACP mags in a mag pouch that's on the front left side. So you have a mag pouch in the front for the pistol, then you have two pockets for the BAR mags. Now why did I bring that up? I mentioned the M14. These, when we could not find any good quantity of anything unique that was lighter in an M14 mag pouch back in the day when we were building M14s in the late 70s and early 80s and we were cranking out a ton of them, you could get M14 regular TA-50 1956 mag pouches, two mags each. But we were looking for something a little lighter and near Europeans had it, but they were outrageous. Well, the Marine Corps had another system, PREA M 1956 Web Gear, that the Army originally had. And it had individual single mag pouch pockets. So we kind of, we did use those. But the BAR belts were $1 to $2 apiece, brand new old inventory. And two M14 mag pouches were, two M14 mags were just fine inside a single pocket. So that became our solution for dealing with trying to crank out a lot of troops using the 7.6 Qx51 NATO rifles we had, including a bunch of FALs at the time still do. But again, if you run into those, they aren't a bad solution for your M14 or, and here's another thing, they're really good because they're a little spicier for the 30 out of 6 round. They work really well with the HK 91 magazine slash the G3 mag, which you're using in the PTR 91. The problem is again, availability. They run a big sine wave up towards the 90s. They've thinned out since they were spread all over creation. You might run into them in surplus, but I haven't seen too many recently or anybody advertising them. And the problem is the ones that are out there that especially World War I, They want unobtainium prices. So it was a solution, but you might run into something if you do grab them. They're worth it. They do work and at false fails are great for just load them up with 12 M14 or 12 G3 mags and use them as auxiliary mag pouches as like mag bandoliers. which works just fine. Now I mentioned the single MAG M14 pouches that remained for the Marine Corps. Those were a snap system that the Army came up with, which really wasn't a bad idea, but the thing was trying to find pistol belts that were still made with the snaps on them. The idea behind this is that you had a snap that kept the mag pouch from sliding around on the pistol belts. He had to have snaps every so many inches apart. But, you know, all the way around the circumference of the pistol belt because we had to be able to snap all the different pouches on. It works. They worked really well, but only one in 20 back in years ago, decades ago, only one in 20 of those showed up at anywhere in the surplus as far as the belts that go that would appropriately be needed. But for putting together a magazine bandolier like we're talking about, if you have some kind of really great source and they don't want much for them, those single mag pouches would be a perfect thing to set up a 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 mags on a single pistol belt, cartridge belt, and keep them strung up, ready to roll. So if you needed something just to throw on your waist, you got more than a firepower to not just get you into trouble, but get you out of trouble. Which is nothing you have to always take into consideration. I'll tell you what, we're at the bottom of the hour, it's Weapons Wednesday and shame on Mark. Edward, if you could, our traditional bottom of the hour, Weapons Wednesday break. And Ed might have to dig it up, might take a second. Hey! This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best, it is my life. useless. You may ride a goodly speed, you may know a stern a master Your forward march with speed, but you'll learn to back much faster When you meet our mountain boys And their leader John is 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 frightful A round which may be proceeded with because now they're already, as I described, this might happen. They're yapping about possibly shelving the program because, well, we're in a war. Well, yeah. But what's interesting is one of the arguments was body armor as far as why we needed to go to the 6.8 millimeter round, which I will remind you again in reality, the civilian population of the United States has as much body armor as many weapons as pretty much the top 10 armies of the world. So when the government was buying this round or the intent behind it, it's to zero on the American people not to necessarily fight overseas. What's interesting is in reverse order, as I've told you, with all of the level four brag about armor, and there's lots of brag about about the armor, aim low, go slow. Hits count, misses don't. Guess what? Aim for the groin. No matter what, there has to be flexibility in motion. You gotta be able to move. And that means those two areas were bipeds, not quadruped, were bipedal. And because of that, if you just blow one of those pogo sticks up really bad or blow out the gonads, blow out the crotch, blow out the organs below, sever the arteries. It may take a little bit longer, but not much. But the enemy's down for the count and probably not getting up. But if it does survive, it's a lot of maintenance and support that the enemy has to provide for a casualty. They would laugh about doing this to you. Don't you even think twice about doing it to them? So again, hits count, misses down. When you hit them, now here's the thing about this, I will point out why aim low. In the pips and peaks of combat and contact, and depending on how excitable you get, if you aim low and you jerk the trigger, you respond, not as well as you should. In fact, you react instead of respond. What happens is you may still get a hit in. Well, Mark, you said his body armor rides up higher. Yeah, he's still got a hit. A tag on an enemy is still a tag. Now, if I keep trying to push through the arm or right from the beginning, I'm not doing myself any good. I blow their gonads out or blow a leg out or blow the hip out. That target is pretty well in the negative category, okay? On the other hand, if I do miss or if I miscalculate and I got a little antsy with my trigger finger, I'm at least going to get into the gut, the chest, maybe even tag the neck or the head somewhere. So aiming low is preferred. Again, remember too, if you understand how to ride an automatic weapon, you aim low and ride with the weapon in short bursts and onto another target. So you actually double or triple tap or quadruple tap a single target with a short burst of automatic fire from the weapon you may have procured. This is especially critical to take into consideration when most of you have never fired an automatic weapon, ever. So if you, oh, I need a machine gun, I need an automatic line, you don't, no, no, you don't really. But since you think you do, wait till you take it off the corpse of the enemy. Grab all the mags, make sure you grab all the support equipment you might find on the corpse. When you do use the weapon, start low. And as you ride up with the weapon, and even if you overshoot, in other words, what I mean by overshoot is not overshoot, it's overshoot the head. But if you over burst fire, I was gonna fire three rounds and I think I dumped half the mag. If you start low, it's more likely that multiple hits will engage the target and multiple strikes of kinetic energy thrust like that is a good thing. So aiming low is preferred even if you are experienced, you ride the weapon and what happens is you patter the three to four rounds of multiple strike kinetic energy knife stabs, depending on, you know, it's ball ammo, depending on how you hit them, one way or another, they're probably going down. With the old M1 carbine, oh, forgive me, slash M2 and M3 carbines, a lot of police departments, sheriff's departments, and the Michigan State Police and other departments around the country, picked up the M2s and M3 carbines as a surplus and gave them an issue about to their deputies or to their troopers. The policy with the carbine was to aim for the foot. The select fire was pretty hot if you haven't watched an M1 carbine, forgive me, an M2, M3 carbine in motion. The cyclic rate is pretty reasonable, actually a little high. So typically with a 15 round mag, which was far more reliable than most 30 round mags, If you aim around the lower part of the body and you know, aim, you know, literally just over the sights, not trying to peek sighted, but over the sights, line up with the ankle or foot area and pull the trigger. There are multiple accounts here at Michigan, bank robbers, et cetera, that were taken down in which 11 out of 15 rounds hit the target, starting with somewhere around the ankle, hitting him in the leg, the knee, the crotch, the gut, the chest, and even a couple of, you know, winged head shots. So 11 out of 15 rounds hit, but this again is with blending the whole 15 rounds go. Now there was a reason for this. The logic was that if the weapon was running an automatic fire, and since it really wasn't carrying that many rounds 15 for the sake of reliability and full function, the idea was to let the whole mag go on the target and select fire. This way the weapon was cleared, you drop the mag, you insert another mag and go to town. reactivate the weapon because it's not an open bolt gun, the carbine, and any configuration is a closed bolt rifle, closed bolt carbine, okay? Now, again, this would vary depending upon experience, but the basic rule is that if you don't have that much time with the weapon on the range, aiming low and into vital areas is a far better choice to at least ensure something gets the target. It's count misses don't always remember that just that simple another thing is also shotguns I Don't know because there was a there was a question that came in one of the emails little list of questions Actually, this one was separate from other stuff It used to be you could buy a number of different extension tubes out there in the system for almost every shotgun that could take an extension tube. Now remember that a lot of your guns have a lot of your pump guns. The restrictor is that they have a bridge that comes down and then there's a locking screw at the front of the magazine tube. And this has to be there to lock the components everything in where they belong. Mossberg, Remington, and And Ithaca, but Ithaca have to have the right model, will accommodate an extension because they have a tube cap. And what you do is you have a bridge with an extender, you replace the spring. You get the spring typically, you get the bridge jointer, and then you use your original cap to seal the end of the magazine tube on these pump shotguns. It's a good idea. In fact, you might recall you've seen some of these, some people say, that looks really goofy. It's a bird barrel with an extended magazine, a super extended magazine. And literally you have like a 30 inch barrel, 28 inch barrel with a full magazine tube underneath it. Well, that provides a lot of firepower. And amazingly enough, remember, if you know what you're doing, loading your ammunition, and if you go with what, well, you actually had to custom order some of these. Typically, IC, improved cylinder, is a relatively short tube because this is basically a straight tube. For most of your SABO shooting, the IC, improved cylinder, is still your best choice. Not rifled, but smooth bore, IC, improved cylinder. It used to be those barrels are everywhere. I don't know what's going on for whatever reason choice, fad, whatever it might be. You can still find them. But the big thing is to find a longer tube. You're going to want to go that if you can't get an IC in a longer tube, you're going to want to get the largest consistent tube that you can opened up, okay, to the greatest extent, depending upon the gun. That'll vary. But the reason you want that is so that when the rounds leave the end of the tube, they're not going to stay tight. Of course, some people like that for close in quarters if you're in a building, but you're using a long tube barrel, you're probably in the field. And where you're defending and move shooting from a fixed position out into an open area of activity, which means you want more range. The big thing about the longer tube is it's really not going to change anything with regard to how your wad performs. But if you select the proper wad or you go with a flat coin wad, cardboard, metal, whatever pattern you choose, you're going to see it open up much faster leaving the tube, which means that your pattern is going to work more like a baby claymore rather than a hunting barrel. The big advantage here is if you have a 12 shot or 11 shot or 10 shot tube, realistically, anywhere from 8 to 10 is norm, but there are some really god-awful long extensions. These, again, are like double plumbing is the best way to describe it. They work, but they're heavy forward. This is something you gotta remember too when you're using a tubular magazine. Remember that every time you shoot, you're changing the center of gravity slightly. But if you have eight, nine, or ten rounds from the center out, then the barrel's gonna be heavy from the beginning, which is something you always have to take into consideration as you train. So you don't just load this up at the last minute and try to figure out how to make it work. You gotta train with these things. You gotta find out how the weapon works. And center of balance, center of gravity with these extended conventional shotguns has always been something people have grossly underestimated in terms of how it affects point and shoot. So you want to load the weapon up, take it out, point it at something where you actually are going to think about shooting at it, and experiment with the gun. Best way to do that, cheapest way nowadays is to go number seven and a half or eight or nine pepper shots slash skeet shot. It's still salacious inside. Everybody goes, well, what could it do? Just be picking pellets out. If I was chasing you across the field and I shot you in the ass with an eight, yeah, you might just get picking some pellets out. But if I'm inside a building and you're within the 20 or 25 feet or at the most 30 inside a house, that wad doesn't have much time to get completely open. And what you have is a beanbag round going down range, especially the shorter the distance. Now the only thing you remember is this, with what we're talking about. You're using a much longer barrel, which means that you've got to be already planning on what you're going to do. You have to be thinking ahead because you have more barrel to move, more weight forward to move. But if used properly as a control weapon with an extended barrel like that, poor man's submachine gun. Now it doesn't have to be an Ithaca, which has the, of course, hold back the trigger and fan the action. She shoots every time you slam the bolt forward. But the idea that you've got that much firepower without having to do anything other than pull the trigger and work the action, that's a lot of firepower. We're minimal amount of technology that really does because it's manually operated. It is a very effective weapon system. Do not poo-poo pump shotguns. And by the way, yes, they did make the extenders for the 1100. They made them for all of the high standard and et cetera, all the other companies out there, Smith and Wesson, that made semi-auto guns. I'd recommend them, but I can't tell you immediately. I know CDNN Sports, CDNN Sports had some of those at one time, but I don't know what they have left. And again, magazine fed shotguns have been the Tats Meow. What I do like about a tubular mag is it's the forever magazine all you have to do is every time you get a break and especially if you had an eight shot magazine to begin with You just keep topping off the magazine you just keep topping it off by sliding a few more rounds underneath whatever you can Three four, you know top it off to cut to complete and then continue the mission. So Whatever you got in the inventory you can make it work and work better But understand, take it out in the field, especially some of these really cool ideas that look great, but you've also got to feel them. It's like AR-15 with a conventional set of US military M4 type stocks versus these ARs with the all metal front rail systems. totally different center of gravity. You need to experiment with the weapon. In fact, if you do have them in the unit, I'm going to say something right now. Some of you may have one weapon, some of you may have another. That's not a problem. But you should give everybody in the unit the opportunity to experiment and actually handle those weapons in a firing situation, in a live fire situation. Why? Well, because while that one weapon is their primary and familiar system, they may end up using yours. And rather than having to mentally adjust down the road as a last minute solution slash reaction, how about instead you already have the experience? And so in your brain pan, you have the muscle memory applied so that when you pick the other weapon up, there isn't a short sense of disorientation because it does happen with each weapon, we have something like that take place. you have to re-register your brain. Especially if you're picking it up for the first time, you're having to work out the math to make the system work. So whatever you have in your inventory for the AR, if you're all in the same unit, you all have the same weapon, I heavily recommend that you take the time and actually work with the other buddy's firearms. In fact, you know, train on the range intentionally, which you do is come up with a date. And everybody get a chance to see how each of these different weapons works or how they're familiar with them so they mechanically can adjust to them with their memory process. Anyway, that's another issue. Okay, now, we got enough time. We have a little bit of time. Also, I got to remind you, since we're still working towards the end of the year drawing. Of course, the end of the year, who knows by the end of the year how much fun we'll be having here in this country. We've done the musical deck chairs on the Titanic. Everything is 50-50. Nothing has significantly changed. With the exception of one or two races, which actually look more realistic, the DeSantis thing was won. They're actually claiming like 60% to 40%. Well, that's more like a quote unquote trouncing or at least somebody seriously got beat on. Mark, I was reading an article on Gateway. I was just reading an article on Gateway pundit. that the headline claims exactly that, that the Democrats and the GOP rhinos are banding together to create a conflict between this, uh, Santos and, uh, Trumpy. Yeah, I think that's the only reason that Florida was allowed to do what it did. And I truly do. I believe that they have the, they've always had the election in a racket form like this. And I've argued it for a very long time, but it's very apparent This is the second time in a row where it's been just a grossly obvious scam. Okay? The big red way is coming. Yeah, and in fact again, the idea is that wow, I guess I have to go along. See for the panty waste republic rats, it'll be. Well, half the people in this country are pedo queers with purple hair cuz I saw the electric results and I can't be in conflict with that. We just gotta go along to get along. I don't wanna be the first to get taken out. So everything's fine. And not only that, it's a great mental masturbation for a bunch of people who if they see the numbers like that, it's the excuse to sit on their hands. Well, we tried. It was close, yawn. Time to go back to sleep. I can go back to sleep now. Not very easily because I can't forget the food is getting more expensive. And now the word deep recession. Guys, they do not want to use the word recession is a made up name. Recession is a made up word. They traditionally before before the 70s it would be called a Depression, but I'd probably be attacked by that witch down in Georgia because You're teaching people another word. Yeah, you know one that's actually in the dictionary In fact, it's if you go back far enough if you collect dictionaries I do by the way I collect all books, but it was really cute. I can show you dictionaries from different periods And you won't find the word recession in anything, any dictionary before 1970. It was always depression. We had a depression in the middle 50s, about 1957. We had a little depression, just like we had a little depressions before 1929. And the 50s, we had one. And they called it a depression, and Eisenhower was not happy, and Nixon was the VP. And they were not happy because we had a little depression that lasts for years and years. Nope, because in these depressions, these cycles run this way, depending upon overspending and malfeasance and lack of control, which we're seeing right now. So now it's getting really deep. Yeah, it's called a depression, son, the depression. And we'll teach you that word. We'll teach you that one. But you know what's gonna really teach it to you? bad government, the international bankers, and the turrets are trying to steal your country. They're gonna teach you what depression is all about, and we ain't talking psychological depression. We're talking physical depression, real, like economic slash in your face. So before it hits, we should all be squared away. I am amazed at how much free food I have been getting. And I mean, I can start a small store in some cases with what I've been getting hold of, but not gonna say anymore, but it's kind of nice because we keep this up. Now, it might just be the one of the other little side activities with barter trade and exchange because a lot of stuff I don't need that much of, but I got a lot of it. So working on more, in fact, every day. So big thing here again is leading up to the end of the year, the bad guys have to get us into something to keep everybody distracted. War is the most common evil wicked tool. It's expected. We're not going to be surprised. None of you listening this program should be caught off guard. But a lot of other poor fools will be. And I don't feel sorry for them. I don't feel bad about it at all because everybody has the same 24 hours of the day. What really gets me is Fools Ball has been, you know, everybody is trying to desperately be distracted by reality, so Fools Ball is getting lots of attention again with people who know better. And I think it is fascinating. It is a distraction. It's all it is. And considering all the other bread and circuses, it is one of the things commercial sports is something you should steer completely clear of. Now, if you have artifacts or collectibles and you can sell them. Oh my God, this is the time to do it if you can't long as you don't sell low. If there's still the possibility of people desperately trying not to face reality, take advantage of that and move out all of the sports regalia you've got. I pick it up all the time. And I don't do any of that, but I've ended up with some really neat stuff that, okay, I can appreciate if somebody collects it. So I'll slide it sideways to a certain market. And that's the only reason I picked it up, not because it was for me, but because through the use of it, I can acquire other things. I either trade an exchange, which happens a lot, or I can dispose of into the market. with the small number of people I know that are interested in the idea or at least they know somebody else so I don't have to do any hunting around or wasting a whole lot of time. I just give them a box full of stuff, see who wants it and let me know what they're interested in and see what they offer and we'll go from there and if they offer I'll just take it. Why? I didn't cost me anything. I just put it in a box until I had a bunch of it. I give it to the people I know are interested and they take care of the rest and all I could do is wait for the return. And that in turn becomes money for something else. Sometimes it's stuff that's traded for that. And the stuff is just as good as the money. So something to think about, but get rid of your dump, your sports paraphernalia, because unless it's something that dad gave, listen, if it's something that dad gave you like guns, anything else, I understand. If it's something you picked up because you just happened to run into something, a state sale or whatever, it's not a big deal to you. I mean, seriously, it's not attached to you. Family heirlooms are one thing. Now if it complements a family heirloom, you gotta make that math decision yourself. Maybe it's something that rounds out with dad gaming, I got all of it. Okay, fine, I understand that too. But for the most part, dump it. The football teams are not your friend, the football owners hate your guts, the baseball team owners hate your guts, the basketball owners absolutely hate your guts. They hate your life, they hate the fact you exist. So with that being the case, ain't no skin to lose them in the dust as quickly as you can. Leave them in the taillights. Get rid of controlled sports. It is a total waste of time, total waste of resources, okay? That's simple. And on that note too, but I will say in reverse, again, we're getting towards the top. Please, if you don't know how to swim, get into the pool, get somewhere to learn how to swim. or if you're still down south, you can jump out in the water yourself. Just don't drown. Take somebody who knows what they're doing. Listen to them. Dog paddle, dog paddle, dog paddle. I don't care what you do, but get some time in the water now. There is no excuse for you not to notice women. You're going to need it with what's coming. So not least, we are, of course, end of the year drawing. We're going to have another one coming up here in a week, a little more in a week. Hopefully you guys will all be smiling. Those who got your packages. I think you will. But if you would like to be part of the drawing, you can send a donation to www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, then go to the donate key. When you go to the donate key, you can donate any amount. Every dollar you donate goes towards your name going in the hat once. So if it's five, it's five times, 10, it's 10 times, you know how it works. Pretty straightforward. And the only thing we need is that when you make the donation with the PayPal system, and I know people are not liking PayPal anymore, and I understand why, but there is a notation section. So if you would please put your mailing address in the notation section, or if you don't wanna be part of the drawing, this will help to really alleviate confusion, but I'm cool. I'm cool or I am cool. Okay. C O O L. Well, she wants to spell like what cool cigarettes. K O L L. We should write Mark's cool. Yeah, there we go. Well, the thing is, you know, again, we don't want to leave anybody out and we got a bunch of people we've already incorporated that sent donations in the mail. Appreciate that. And if you want to do that, you can send it to first of all, the mailing address is PBN. P.O. Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130, that's P.B.N. P.O. Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130, that's P.B.N. P.O. Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130, if you want to send cash, put it in foil. But also put a slip, like when I got right here in my hand, that one right there, with your mailing address and print it so that we don't make any mistakes. And you can send an email, of course, but you will also, if you want to do a checker money order, you make it out to Nancy, last name K-O-E-R-N-K-E, that's Nancy. K-O-E-R-N-K-E, that's Nancy. K-O-E-R-N-K-E, as soon as we get the letter in the envelope in the mail. We make sure we communicate it to Ed so that everybody has the proper number of slips going to the box. Everybody's happy.
