Through the mist with a f***, 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 f***ing 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's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught. According to the state, you read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay attacks you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've 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, 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 him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Ladies and gentlemen, this is the... First hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Carkey. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters. Both on and behind the lines in occupied territories. West, southwest, east, north. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on w-e-g-e-w-w dot Liberty Tree Radio dot 4-m-g dot com Liberty Tree Radio dot o-r-g and we're on satellite to hide all of our merchant marine operators out there across the planet. We're also on a myriad of other communications technologies inside and outside these United States. It is Weapons Wednesday again. So soon? Yeah, wow, this didn't take long. Didn't we just have one? Yeah, only days ago. Matter of fact, it's, well, this week is, it's slow and fast. It was a drizzly rainy day week. We had a little bit of cloud cover, but it's a mix here. Ah, three-quarters cloud, but some sunshine in between. They went pretty quick. So for everybody out there, again, the 3rd of May, Weapons Wednesday. It is the 15th year of Open Obvious and Pissing in Your Face, Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K. 2023, Old Earth Calendar. 2023, Battle for the Republic, The Dance of Swords, Book One. Battle for the Republic. Well, I'll tell you what, a couple things here. First of all, real quick, you may go to Maynard's over to Maynard's, you know, we have Menards around the Midwest here. And I just ran into what are two point, I want to say 2.6, but I'm probably wrong 2.5 ounce chicken, MRE, retort pouches. They're, of course, in a colorful external wrapper, but these are the heavy gauge Mylar. They are the very well-constructed packages. A dollar apiece regular, well, not even regular price. They're marked down to a dollar. And it's 11% off right now for all of the Menards. So if you have your slip, Guess what? It's $0.89 a pouch. You can't beat this. For what these are, this is backpack, bug out bag material. Now, there wasn't a whole lot of anything else, and in fact, I found these up by the front doors, which is where they usually put their end run stuff or stuff that they're kind of dogging on. And you'll know if you get a Bernard, you know, I'm talking about with the food, you may find it up front. You might find more each store may be different. Some may have more of it sitting out back if they do try to find out. These are great for issuing out to individuals. Another item that goes into the kit that I'm building for, you know, constructing your own MREs. You've got the same type of pouches and cheese. Jeez, it was over a dollar, what used to be dollar tree. Now it's of course dollar 125. But there are other items that are comparable and you can actually put a pretty decent individual ration pack system together from picking and choosing and cherry picking around the system right now. Now that's one solution. But for what these are, it's a good price because like I said, it comes to 89 cents. We don't have any tax on food in Michigan. I don't know which states have tax and which don't anymore across the country. But for Michigan, we don't have tax on food and haven't had for a long, long, long, long time. So it's a flat 89 cent purchase by the time you're done. And it's a good item to put in the kit. The neat thing is you only open what you need. and you don't open the rest. It's not too large. It's enough to keep you satiated. You throw a couple other items together and pretty well you're squared away. So be creative. Go check it out. By the way, you might find other types of items like that at the front end of Menards. Each store has got the same basic inventory, but some things sell out before others. You may not even find what I'm talking about, but it's worth picking up if you can grab them. And again, good heavy pouch, good color, you've been there. John here, how are you doing today? Well, outstanding as a matter of fact, I can't complain at all. Of course, anything happened the next moment. Yeah, thanks for the jury drizzlies up here in Maine. I'm sure we sent that to you. We have that stiff wind that was going due east, so yes, we sent it to you. I guarantee you went right down the St. Lawrence Seaway. Yeah, Monday we got just about five inches of rain in less than 24 hours. It was a scepter. Well, I'd be willing to bet what it did is after it hit us here because it was a... we still got a good stiff wind. You're not going to get let up except it shifted from the west to the north. So that may be some relief for you. But yeah, it goes and once it hit Lake Erie picked up more moisture And you know when it hit Ontario same thing and then it ran right down the st. Lawrence Seaway and then peed on you guys So that storm that storm affected all the way down into Florida. It was just one big swath of storm This is this is the kind of Michigan I grew up with I Didn't bother taking my swimsuit off Yeah, oh by the way on that note. We already have the first We just saw our first set of Goslings Canadian geese Goslings today Kind of early, but that mean we've had pretty good weather and I saw a clutch It looks like about maybe six or more with mom and dad. You know what trying to waddle back to the pond But that's kind of unique everything is sitting on its eggs right now, but those have already hatched so That's pretty cool. That's 6 to 8 more Canadian goose dinners down the road when the time comes. We've got a pair out back and then stragglers coming off and on. But I haven't seen any gozzlings yet. I've seen mom and dad landing in the pond and waddling around. But I haven't gone on backside to see what's happening with them. But yeah, it's warming up quick, really. So, but anyway, Weapons Wednesday. I was privileged to see two unique rifles, and I wanted to tell you about them. The first one was a Norwegian capture of a K-98 Mauser that was converted at the factory to .30-06. It's still got all the original markings on the receiver the German markings on a receiver But the barrel is 30 out 6 this this thing done at the fact It looks like it just rolled off to assembly line. It is beautiful I liked it because I don't need a safe Queen Right Yeah, it's so pretty you don't want to take it out of the hangar. That's a problem. It looks so nice. Yeah And the second one I saw yesterday actually belongs to a customer. It came into the shop while I was there. And it's a Norwegian Craig that was chambered at the factory in Norway for 8 by 57 Mauser. And again, in really nice condition, not factory mint, but what a nice cut. And I guess there's only like 500 of these made from what they researched. And they were made to try to bolster the hunting sport there in Norway. But two very unusual rifles that I've never seen in my life. Very nice. I don't know if you've had a chance to see anything like that. The original Craig's, as everybody should know, the 30-40 Craig rifle was Norwegian design. And actually they didn't change hardly anything except they did alter the lower stock length a little bit, but not much. And it didn't have the, some of the Norwegians had a manletcher look to the front, which they changed very quickly. And the other thing is it's interesting that that's an eight millimeter caliber. It still had the side gate magazine, right? Yep. That's fascinating. You can remember for everybody that doesn't know 3040 Craig is a rimmed cartridge. It was a last service rimmed cartridge for a rifle that we issued in the US military. And there were so many of those Craig's that we had built and we didn't get rid of that when World War II came around, for instance here in Michigan, the factory militias like at the bomber plant, they were issued Craig's. Anything that was 30-06 was going to the front or went to the training sites. Everything else was issued out. So they had the 30-40 Craig's in the factory for every third. Well, my dad said that every month they rotated the designated militia men. And what they did is they had enough Craig's for that many men. And he said, well, they didn't need any other heavy weapons because, well, they were assembling bombers and what's at the end of the production line? They had thousands of M3 and M2 .50 caliber guns laying at the other end of the plant. So they didn't have a problem arming up with heavy guns. In fact, they had probably more of those than they would of the rifles. But the Craig is what they actually had in .340 Craig as opposed to the .8. Well, neither of the cartridges are anything to sneeze at. Put that 8-millimeter. The 792 by 57 is as good as any other main battle rifle cartridge out there. It just was on the losing side, that's all. And even then, everybody picked it up after World War II and there isn't anybody who wasn't shooting at somebody with an 8mm Mauser. Somewhere. Every war that was going on, it was guaranteed. So, was that a full rifle or was it a carbine? No, both were full rifles. Oh, very good. Well, they were made both ways. Of course, a lot of them were, you know, they did some sporterizing. People did sporterize the Craig's, but that one's a factory foreign, and fortunately didn't get touched. So, other than what was done at the other end of the planet, that felt like you said at the factory. Now, again, remind you... Go ahead. The Craig had a very unusual rear sight. You had two ears that stuck up. You had a round barrel that went between them over the top of the receiver and had a little groove cut in it. And to go from one to three under charge, it just rotated a knob on the right and that barrel would slide up and down the receiver. That was your elevation. Well, that'd be other interesting to see. Well, you know, again, different countries, different ideas. There were... There were a number of different, well, especially Norwegian, Swedish and Finn, iron sites that were actually quite precision sites. They dialed in just as well as many of the Enfield or the US-03, you know, rear sight leaf, or the Army model. There's the Army and Marine version on the Springfield. They dial up just as well. So again, Depends on when they were building it and was it tapped or set up for any kind of scope? No Neither was so they expected iron. Okay. Well unless the guns you have to settle with it afterwards So otherwise, what else exciting there? Anything else, jump off? We have the communist Chinese in the state of Michigan here, guys. We're finding out more every day, and the Democrats that are the Kennedy Democrats are fuming at the muck. Fuming through the years, you see Smokin' Steen coming out. They're gonna go after the other Democrats. This is gonna be fun to watch. They're gonna go for the throat, is what's gonna happen. We might... see this governor arrested by the time we're done. Wade's looking here. And hunt for treason, I hope. Well, we got two big bridges. I say we keel-haul them, you know. First of all, they have to survive the drought. And then we can drag. We'll have to put, we have to put weights on it and drag it from one end of the bridge to the other. I doubt they'd survive that, but you never know. So I say go back a second time. I'll tell you, this is nuts. I'm going to do what you recommended yesterday. I've got to go down to the town office. I'm going to change my voting status from independent to Democrat. Yes, yes. Just so I can vote for Kennedy. Yep. In fact, that's what everybody should be doing right now. Guys, let's do to the enemy what the enemy has been doing to all of you for a long time. And until you learn to play by battle acts and broad sword rules, hacking and chopping rules, then this stuff is just going to continue on as it is. Well, you know how I am. I don't have any confidence in the election. It was done the last time. When I got 11 ballots in the mail, that should have told you something right there. You know what I mean? And everybody's telling me the same thing. Well, yeah, I was out in Arizona and I got five at one property and I got three at the other property and I don't even have my name attached to the other property. They sent three of them there. And it's like, yeah, okay. Well, what does that tell you? And of course, if you were to finally check, you'd find out it was a paper mill run by the demacons doing all that. Yeah, with government money on top of everything else. So nobody thinks there is voter fraud. Let him sit down and watch the entire video 2000 mules and tell me what you saw What bother me? It's what I expected to see I don't know if you've noticed this but you've got a bunch of these supposed conservatives That are just telling everybody and what they are that the Republic rat rhinos, but also the Republic rat Epstein blackmail type or just pro Epstein These characters are all like, oh, you don't need to talk about voter fraud and our voting system is great. In other words, what it comes down to is just ride with it. Because after all, the ring knockers are going to choose whoever and you don't really need to have a say in it is what they're telling you. So now this needs to be. The only way to do it is ever to do the reverse of what you normally would think you would do because in the final election if if the election counts for anything if it's really in anywhere near some kind of numbers that are accurate then you can vote whoever you want during the final election but the big thing is to change the battlefield with the primaries. And we're all patient, right? I think you are, I know I am. I don't, wait, I see it. I only got to do that. Get out and change your, all you have to do for everybody listening, like you said, get out and change your, how you're listed, you know, as a Democrat, first of all. When the time comes for the primaries, you're going to be able to vote for the enemies, you know, vote in the enemies camp. And we should be doing it in mass. Because, I don't know what kind of real fight there's going to be on the Republican side, but I'm not as much worried about that. Because if the ring knockers just decide to push like DeSantis down our throat, then most people won't be really doing too much of the election anyway. My opinion is DeSantis is a non-starter. Right, yeah, you know yeah, it's one of those things where all the Aegis pickle smoking mirrors He's running for a foreign country more than he's working for America. So It's just convenient for them that he be making decisions that make the situation in Florida stronger and he needs to try and kick up support from the the general peasantry to have rank-and-file infantry Think about it that way. But otherwise when it comes to real decisions, especially in the Oval Office, oh no, he's foreign operated. So he'd be of no use to us. But the big thing here again is, well of course there are also the comical thing. Everybody started talking about Tucker Carlson, which I don't know about president, but probably I could see realistically that if isn't DeSantis running with Trump. It's, you know, Carlson. I wouldn't have a problem with that. Either way, everybody's worried, guys. I know we understand the backgrounds of all these people. But it's tougher for the bad guys to try and baffle everybody with BS when they're forced to follow a particular, you know, decorum that they created themselves. In other words, yep, each one of them will help to get gun control passed given the opportunity. Okay, but the problem they got with that is, A, you know, people already have shown that if Trump were to choose to go that way or just send us or whatever, you're just as likely going to get into a civil war as you will slash, you know, American war for independence as you would with the Demikins in charge. And in that respect, I think we're better off just with the Democrats making their move, the communists making their move. It's like here in Michigan. People who try to claim that, guys, you, all of you listening don't know what you're talking about, well, guess what? When it's right in your face, then they have to either... You got to pick a side. That simple and although a lot of people are spineless curves and we'll just cower off to the side or settle off to the side and try to go along to get along Let's remind everybody that it's like right now in Michigan. They're proposing to do the face mask thing again and shut everything down That's what shit. Mer is actually well. Okay. It makes no sense except for it's a power freak thing They'll get shot this time There's I'm serious. No one's gonna nobody is gonna put up with the crap Nobody's gonna own place where they're gonna go along with it. It's like the poor sick soul We just saw a couple hours ago this woman who's got a child Gets out of a car over by in front of one of the dollar trees out in Dexter here and She she looks she just looks horrible her face. She looks like she is terrified And, but she's got this looks like maybe a two and a half year old child with a face bra on. And it's kind of on right, but it's not. And oh, it's got a Disney thing on it, I think is what it had. But talk about a miserable looking person practicing a, what was already an illegitimate, but now dead religion. It was an illegitimate religion before. It's a dead religion now. If I were to tell that same person, who's probably a flaming leftist, that you need to wear the burqa. Though they would froth at the mouth and go crazy, but have some fruit loop nutcase goose-stepping communists say oh I need to have you wear three face bras. Oh They just howl at the moon and and scramble for the other two face bras They need to strap on their face and make sure that they're red and yellow so they're properly coil party colored Don't you know comrade? But in reality is neurotic, you know hypochondriacs and paranoid tendency are absolute lost dead souls I don't know how, I don't know what they're living in. I mean, if we had this conversation and then you said that, I don't know where the hell these people are even coming from anymore. And you can't have a conversation with them. It's like they've gone, they've gone so around the corner, so far on the corner, they can't see the last two corners they passed. That's how far out of the corner they are. Go ahead. Yeah, clearly these people didn't watch Biden's State of the Union. because he boasted how we beat COVID. COVID is a thing of the past. So why would you continue when the mantra has changed by the sycophants that they were following like Lemmings? It's interesting. There's a mental disability slash mental rut that these people have gotten into. And it's like their, it is a mental illness. It's the only way to describe it. Granted, it's probably a combination of whatever drugs the government's got them on, and a combination of that and whatever twisted social media they're participating in, because that really is part of it. But look around you. I mean, think about it. If you're standing there, you're the only person, everybody else in the store, nobody's wearing a face mask. Nobody's wearing a face bra. But this person has got that child dragged along and the kids kind of like oh god, you know I mean the kid is the child isn't gonna know any better that the the children are being conditioned to the burka And it's like, wow, I just, but to hear again, is that group a threat? Yeah, they would be if they were in front of you and they were told that they need to get on the phone and dial 911 and report on you because you don't have a face mask. Oh, they'd become, you know, crazy Karens real quick again. They're lost. Yeah, I know. They're lost to all crazy Karens in that also they, There's you know, it's the rebel without a clue or the rebel with forgive me Can't reverse that the rebel without a cause became the rebel without a clue except there was no rebelling. It was conformist so the the conformist without a cause has now become the conformist without a clue and Mentally unstable mentally deficient Go ahead, jump in there, caller. Yeah, I listened to a video on Odyssey today. Cold video is a deceptive something. Anyway, it's a four-part thing and it is very deeply detailed, very well done. I'll send that link to you and Ed, but it's, wow. I mean, it points out, I don't think they missed anything. So it's got to be shared. Yep, very good. Thank you. You're welcome. I think the big thing here again, and like I said, with what's going on, and I don't know what's happening in Maine, but I think Maine and Virginia and Ohio and every place else that's got, you know, except for in the big cesspools, everybody's pretty well on the same page. We're not going through this again, number one. But the idea that they've been they're flapping their yap with that mantra, of course now don't forget Well, what month is this like we're out of school here kids schools leaving here pretty soon But now they're talking that we need to do this now and you know plug it in right away and it's like well, I just it ain't gonna happen The only thing I would say is that I'm really serious about this is if that happens here in Michigan We are going to be where it starts I mean, as it is, there are a couple of things that will probably get a shooting war started here and we can't stop it. And I'm not going to try. I've already had conversations with five different county areas here. And there isn't one of the people that I talked to that was in the government end as far as people on the township or county boards who haven't said that, well, we're in, they're not going to listen. We're going to end up having to shoot their ass. Now, they may have said it a little more politely in that we're going to have to fight, physically fight. So in other words, first they qualify with fight, and then they say, well, I can physically fight, thinking that I'm one of those people who's going to go, oh yeah, we're just going to do the figurative thing. Yeah, stop you, savage, or I'll stop again, and then I'll roll over on my back and you can kick me in the crotch all you want. Well, that ain't me. So it's interesting, you either get a kind of a, well, the one was interesting because right there were several ministers. Okay, this just happened. And it was like they were qualifying. They were always qualifying. I said, listen, stop. First of all, before I go any farther, you do not have to qualify your ideas because I think you're all on the same page. And I think everybody that's coming here to visit right now at this meeting are all on the same page too. So you need to stop that because you're wasting time. When you want to talk about something, you need to assert yourself and stand for a position you do not have to over qualify. It's done. The conversations are done. If they do this again, the economy is in such bad shape. In fact, they got so many people sitting on their dead ass out here that absolutely could be working, but are still sucking off every government tit that they've been dropping out of the sky. It's fascinating that the people that are all, the movershakers, the producers, the entrepreneurs, the people who believe that they believe in the work ethic, those people have had enough. From big big or middle-sized businesses depending how you look at it here manufacturing One of the count the county board meetings had about a dozen Manufacturers and like I said the car dealerships were there and they're all saying the same thing We can't do this this this whole garbage with what they're doing in Lansing. Nobody's gonna go along with it And we can't afford to get hit with the other half of the problem. They were talking, A, about the Article 2 of the Bill of Rights issue. Number, you know, but the second part hand in hand is that these communists think they're going to try and shut the state down again. They'll get shot. Somebody will just walk up and blow them right out of their boots and everybody around them because they're just tired of them. You know, they said, well, they got security. Though the security will probably die with everybody else and we can't stop it. But then again, they were willing to jump in front of what? You know oh well am I gonna shed an alligator tear for them? No not at all not ever None of you none of you better, and you don't qualify well. It's too bad see they have to do this when you're doing commercial television like you know well Oh, we'll see anybody get hurt. I do I I expect to see that no matter what I do because it's inevitable that you're just you're not gonna be able to live with this You're not going to be allowed to live anyway. I will remind everybody what I was talking about yesterday, and I did this with a bunch of people at one location just about four hours ago. I said, hey, just go to Google. Now, you know they're talking about police coming to this Belleville site and, you know, Big Rapids and the one by Lansing, and we don't know how many others they have. I said, do you understand how the communist Chinese police are set up? Well, what do you mean? I said, well, how do they operate? And it's like, what? Well, well, well, and it's like then there's that blank, you know, thousand yard stair thing with half of them. So I'll tell you what, I'll help you to understand how they operate. Here's what I want you to do. I want you to go to Google. I want you to punch in a search for communist Chinese mass executions or communist Chinese police executions. That works too, by the way. You might even get more that way. But whichever one you use, once you get in there, go to image. And you just scroll down through and you look at what the police do for a living in communist China. There isn't a cop that you would talk to. There isn't a cop that you will look at in a uniform in communist China that is not a mass executioner. Not one. So whenever you get these pricks that are cops that come from over there and like to have them in New York or whatever. Well, first of all, they have a very different attitude about how they'd like to deal with you. So now you're going to create these autonomous zones on American soil, basically international zones for communist Chinese operations, and they're going to be allowed to bring in secret police. Now, every one of those cops that they've got there are going to be good, hardcore party members, or they ain't leaving the country. So whatever you see in a communist Chinese uniform that'll be out with their boots on the ground here is a piece of crap that should have been shot by us the moment he touched ground here in the United States. We're learning the American way. Yeah, hold still. This is gonna hurt. Hold my bullets. In fact, let's just go for everyone here. Well again, how am I supposed to look at this? And you know the cops gonna go oh the fraternal order of you know cop copomania Oh, they're all cops just like us Really? So you've been doing this too? Well doing what? So you just place yourself in the subset of You need to die cops imagine that yeah Well, and here's the thing how many of them actually do know? See, I would argue that there's a whole bunch that do There is a whole bunch that we got in fact what what was argued by what is it the one kid? There's several kids have been doing some really great work recently pool Tim pool I think it is You guys probably could catch him on YouTube or whatever, but I agree with he's figured it out We told everybody this they're bumping out all of the sensible or trying to do their job. You know, police officers, peace officers, some are worse than others, but they were, you know. They had some sensibilities. They've been run out in the process in California. They've been run out in Oregon. They have been run out in Washington. And what's going to happen is their hiring criteria will be no different than it is for all of the other public positions they have. The only person that's going to be hired is a queer as a $3 bill, pedo, who is a raving leftist. and that's the plan. That is the plan though. That is the plan. Go ahead. You just touched on it. Article today on the Gateway Pundit. The Navy has, I say Senate to Nancy, I'm not sure if she showed you. Navy has decided it would be a good idea to advertise for people to, you know, join up voluntarily. because their roles are flagging, their enlistment has just gone in the pooper. So what did they do to try and lure the young skulls full of mush into the Navy? They took a trune, one of those tranny guy things, and did an ad with him and How wonderful it was that to be in the Navy, I'm telling you, you couldn't make it up in crazy clown world, except you'd have to see it. They actually are advertising with a tranny to try and get people to enlist in the Navy. The repercussions, the blowback from, so to speak. The pushback, let's say, the pushback from the conservatives, the patriots and such, they're lambasting them for it. And I tell you, there's an image forming in my mind. This is, we're talking about conditioning about 10 minutes ago, conditioning us to believe this and to accept that, you know, with the political realm. I suspect that this big push for the tranny acceptance is going to have to do with, uh, Mrs. Mr. Obama, the, uh, big Mike. Um, I know that Gingrich is, uh, is a stooge. He's a globalist stooge. But they shrouded him out two days ago. And he's warning the conservatives. He's warning us. I tell you, pay attention. Don't neglect Michelle Obama. She's a danger to us politically. the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling of the feeling It's not even a man, you know, it's not even a woman. Why are you doing this? You people are crazy and then you know We'll be seeing the people who say that anyway. I'm not voting for anybody We'll be We go I gotta go One of the interesting things about this is that if you have also the Epstein-petos the Epstein-queer slash significant others all through the system, they're desperately trying to lay the foundation so that as they are caught, then it won't be so, it's not so criminal anymore. Well, I'll tell you what, that just isn't gonna work. In fact, I got a good idea how to deal with or who to give the pedos to when the time comes, because there's a lot of mothers out there looking for children that are missing. And there's a lot of mothers that are going to find out where those children went. And the pedestrians and all the rest. I give the women a box of razor blades, a can of salt, and a pallet of cigarettes. And some lighters to make sure. And then I tell them, please take your time. Well, you're just going to kill us. No, I'm not going to kill you. I'm handing you over to these women for a reason. These are all the mothers of the missing. Now some are alley cats, some are rotten people. There are people who have, specifically who are occultists who have taken and produced children purely for the purpose of the sacrifice. So don't make any mistake about that. Those aren't going to be rotten anymore either. But there's a bunch out there like that. So again, pay attention because this is the everybody's telling me the same thing. First, it's like, you know what? I don't know what the hell this is like insanity now. And it's like, yes, this is what demon warfare is all about. This is what the occultic warfare is all about. This is what the Jewish Kabbalist is all about. This is the Babylonian Talmudic agenda. the Babylonian occupation Talmudic agenda, the queer, pedo, pervert, sycophant, fruit loop, nutcase, twilight zone creatures that you're seeing right now. What's interesting is, like I said, here in Michigan, guys, as it stands, the Demikins are right now in a significant revolt slash kind of like there's a hunt going on. And I do not believe that the Lansing crew, the little clique of rats that are in there, especially like I said, the Attorney General's office is now being extensively investigated from multiple directions. And they're under a microscope. I mean, they are being watched by people, overlapping people, overlapping people. And what they're doing is daytime place. The same is true with the governor's office. Virtually Lansing is kind of like spy versus spy, but their spies are such a minority and everybody else is looking at them. They're in the, they're in government. They're in the bureaucracy. They right now are dotting the I's and crossing the T's. And I believe that when they come out with what are obviously going to be a series of warrants against a good old Greg Shittmer, Whitmer slash Tittmer. It's going to go right down the feeding chain. I believe also because of what it is they already know. It's like I said, the communist Chinese conduit is not directly with communist China only. It's actually through Canada. The characters that are betraying this state are the same people that betrayed Illinois. On the west side of the state, it's the Illinois kosher mafia and it tracks right back to northern Chicago. But there's money sitting right up there in Petoskey, Traverse, etc. that are an extension of that operation. On the east side of the state, Lansing, and of course, by the way, there's a conduit to Lansing, but on the other side is the Toronto Jewish Mafia. They're running Oakland County. They have dot points on the map in key locations, but they've really been not worrying about occupying as much of the other critical infrastructure cities as you might think, as far as like maintaining them. In fact, just to reverse, they're milking them for every dollar that the US government has routed towards them. and the money laundering going on out of the state of Michigan from the east side, I think it's just like it's a toilet flush. It's not like there's a bleed, it's a toilet flush. Originally, the money was coming from Detroit, which I think they're still doing. Detroit is a ghost. Detroit is an absolute ghost. I was looking at a picture of a church that I went to for a wedding. I stumbled on it by accident, as a matter of fact. But I was thinking, man, I remember that building. But it was an aerial shot and it turns out as I'm looking at the thing that was sent to me, it's like, oh, wait a minute, the place is for sale. Well, the area was like pole count. It wasn't in, this isn't in pole town though. It's a little farther north and east headed towards the center of town, Detroit. I used to go through that area all the time. I used to work in there all the time. And there's that building. There's one house to the, would be the north on a secondary street. There's all the lots that that area was was built up literally with the traditional house next to house next house next house There are three buildings left other than that church in that block The church itself is intact. I don't know whether it's been used for church how long it's been empty It's been damaged. I can see that repaired because the air there's an aerial shot probably a drone toy that they used but No, they're still getting all the federal money. The bookkeeping on the theft of the money that's coming in from the scam sham Democrats with their filtering the money from Jew York and Washington DC, the district of criminals, to the kosher mafia in Detroit who then really shifted sideways to Oakland County and from there it's filtered out to wherever the hell it goes. But accordingly, in half of it, I think goes back to Canada right now is where about more than half probably. But it's just looking at how there's still, if you were to look on the books, you'd think that there were buildings in every lot, I'll guarantee it. The level of theft and debauchery of your tax dollars is so phenomenal here in Michigan that it's just literally in the stellar slash astronomical range. But especially with the holes in the the shallow areas that are the big cities that we used to have were quite dynamic and twice the population for every one of them. So each one was bigger. Anyway, I'm not trying to be down on that. It's just to understand the order of battle. The interesting thing here is to probably did the reason, by the way, let me add this for each of you got a minute, a few minutes. One of the reasons that the Shitmer slash titmer slash Whitmer is probably trying to do the communist police state face brothing again is because they probably know what's going on to a degree or a rumoration of what's coming at them. So they're gonna try to get the state police and some other whatever other pork chop operations are bought and paid for whores for the kosher mafia to try to plug in or a rehash of what they did to the state before. And I will say again, I don't think there's it doesn't need this this goes past the idea party lines This is just common sense trying to keep your head above water Nobody's gonna go along with this That'll get him that'll get him dead faster with no way to stop it because somebody will just they'll break People will break and there's people out. I mean, there's so many people out here that are well trained, well disciplined. They've already been frustrated to the point where they don't need to conversation when I have a conversation anybody else, but if they waited in, you couldn't stop the, this would be like a bullet from one direction in terms of, you know, somebody deciding to get rid of the problem. And it'd be a 24 hour clock. There'd be no way that there's, it's just, well, it's just like warfare. It's a 24 o'clock. You don't get cluck. You don't get to punch out. There's no timeout it would be Done and that's what you need to be ready for it cannot emphasize enough square your technology away especially understand that road and traffic issues Here's something I haven't talked about enough. I know it's weapons Wednesday, but this The enemy is going to use many weapons against you. The interstate highway network is a big problem because it is a limited access road net. And I just mentioned Detroit. If you get stuck in the ditches in Detroit, there'd be no way in hell that you're going to get out with your vehicle. If the traffic gets locked down in that area, there are so many absolute control points that you couldn't even climb up the walls. I mean, you're in a ditch, literally. Access ramps are easily controlled, both the on and off ramps, and they become control points for anybody who tries to leave on foot. So with that being the case, number one, you need to have a plan of action when you're traveling to and from work. You need to be thinking ahead and looking at your surroundings and decide if something were to go to Helen Hancart very quickly, Can you exit fast enough? And then even if you were to exit the expressways, it would not take long in a metropolitan area for the roads to actually start to be overly active. We've discussed this about if something happens where you're in the area where it's a suspected attack with a bomb or something, you know, a big bomb. As to the blast is the first rule. With highways, the first thing you want to do is get off the expressway. You can make good time, but if you see up ahead, that looks like there's, where, where it going on. What's going on with the traffic? It looks like it's not, don't sit, don't sit there and try to go. I'm going to talk myself out of the idea that looks like a stinking traffic jam. You need to make decisive choices quickly. So you already need to be thinking about the idea of off here. Now let me point something else. I know you're not supposed to do this. Don't do this at home. Don't do this at home. But if you have an on-ramp that is not very active on-ramp and you see a pile up ahead where the cars are being backed up, stop, get off to the side of the road, back your way up off the expressway that way. Another thing that I've always taken note of with routes to travel like the 94 corridors is there's a lot of places where you could go right through the fence. where the terrain is not sculpted extensively and probably the best example of even some of the sites that are pretty useful the older style drive-through type rest areas Most all of them have have service ramps from behind The expressway access and there's a fence in a gate securing that Guess what? That's not going to slow you down And that puts you on a secondary road immediately. So think ahead, start thinking outside the road box. The road is designed, the highway is designed to be secured. That's the first thing you should remember. It is the interstate, well it's the Dwight D. Eisenhower Interstate Defense Highway Network with limited access. Hey Mark. Okay, go ahead Galer, jump in there. This is John from Kentucky. Indianapolis is probably one of the worst cities I know of. They've got the inner 465 going around town. They've got the barricades dividing the road. And then a lot of places that got those big walls put up for sound blockage. They say it's for sound blockage, but in reality they've done this. This is part of the encasing, the metropolitan area. And again, that's what I was pointing out. You've got spots on the west and east side where you have five lanes of traffic on both sides. and you have a medium wall in the middle, plus you have barrier walls on both sides, and in most cases leading right off the off-ramp or the on-ramp, so that literally they join down where the exit is, you know, on the secondary road, whatever it is you're exiting to, and you take nothing. That's where you put your troops to control the area, because nobody coming out or going off is going to any way, shape, or form be able to do anything. They are sound barriers. They're sound barriers to people on the outside can't hear the screams of the people on the inside. Right. These are more than one story tall, guys. Okay, if you haven't seen them. And they do have door accesses for going into the neighborhood or the community area, not community, but the neighborhood or private property areas who has the keys. I don't know, how are those doors maintained? They're external doors and there is no room on either side. So they're open to the weather constantly. But the big thing here again is, and I'll remind you, if you wanted to lock down the city and keep everybody in, You have limited access on and off ramps and over passes and they are very limited. In fact, a very set number. You have, if you were going to control, if you're going to control and keep people in, your patrolling operations would not be on the closest lanes. You would shut down the outer perimeter and the external lane is where you would have your Humvees or Strikers because you want wheeled vehicles are faster. Okay, you want wheeled security vehicles like the Bearcats all these other ones that they made those are a secret police. That's all they were were police cars just on steroids So a vehicle like that with whatever mounted weapons can in a mobile fashion secure the perimeter in multiples in addition to fixed checkpoints from above. You know, at the cross points. Good, call or jump in there. Hey Mark, this is Irish Whiskey. Concerning traffic control points, what are your thoughts on the interstate exit? or the overpasses over the interstate where the road that goes across, everyone switches lanes to the opposite lane going over the top of the interstate. Over. They're doing that here in, in fact, the first one of those that they just put in that I've actually seen and driven through, it doesn't go overhead here. It goes down below. But it does exactly what you're talking about. You actually do an hourglass, in other words, everything that's on the right lanes goes over to the left lane. In other words, oncoming traffic, it crosses it. And then it crosses past the underpass, it crosses back over and returns to a right side forward traffic lane. And it's interesting because either way, Either way, no matter how they do this, the control points are still pretty much the same. But if you were to minimize manpower in the access to where you put your peace... 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, speaking low to me. 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 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'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. 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 will be buried. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children? to live in fear and be a slave. O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and eat God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As Iowoki 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 trampled each God given right we only watch him tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Dilled the land of the free learn from the mistakes of others You won't live long enough to make them all yourself good Afternoon ladies and gentlemen, this is the second hour of the afternoon Intelligence report time are quirky One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories West Southeast North they're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org. And we're on satellite. We'll see high-level merchant marine operators out there. No matter where you are, whatever ocean, and we are on every ocean right now, even as I speak, echo, echo, echo, echo, echo. Kind of cool. We're also in a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. Of course it is. Weapons Wednesday. It is the 3rd of May, the communist window for May Day operations. We need to be paying attention and watching for Israeli and US secret police operations, probably bombings, by the Mossad and elements of Homeland Succuretti, ATF and FBI, etc., and other departments and agencies. The whores are all working together. The big thing here again is have a plan to save yourself. There isn't anybody out there going to save you but yourself. Prior prepper planning prevents piss poor performance. It is the 15th year of open obvious and pissing in your face. Fabian socialist and the Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K 2023 older calendar 2023 battle for the Republic. The dance of swords. Let me sniff here. Oh yeah, I got a cup of coffee your Nancy made. It's expresso. Very dark, very rich, and extreme luxury in the future. So I would highly recommend that if you enjoy, at least on occasion, your favorite whatever coffee it is that you enjoy, although most people won't care after a while. In fact, mud scraping brand coffee will work out just fine. recommend that you put some of whatever you like away and even some of you don't like. The Dollar Tree Instant Coffee is $1.25. It's in really nice glass containers with a really good plastic lid so when you're done with it, you know what you do? Where you've got your dried fruits and stuff, you make individual smaller dried fruit containers. You can do like we do here. We've got kiwi, strawberry, papaya, mango, apple, orange. Nancy did some really fantastic oranges. I've got to leave them alone. But again, you can do a heck of a, you know, a dried, not freeze dried, dried fruit mix along with some nuts, peanuts, you know, whatever else you got. And you've got a pretty nice little field trail nipple mix if you're on the move. And again, down the road if you travel, you're going to have to ration what you're using. and or if you're into, you know, fielding personnel or troops, but also you're going to have to ration everyday operations, period. In fact, the moment that we suspect that we're on the very, very edge of anything, and you should be paying attention now to your reserves, obviously, you need to be going into ration mode because you practice what you preach. You have to experiment. And whoever is the head of the kitchen is the dietician for the unit, so to speak. And you need to work out, plan out as effectively as possible how to not waste anything. Real quick, I mentioned these chicken pouches. They're over at Menards. They will probably be by the front door. I think it's the last ofs. They bought a bunch of these. They were probably way back in the back in the food section. They are a dollar a piece, but right now they have the 11% off. So it's an 89 cent pouch of chicken. It's 2.6 whatever about that ounces. Not very much, but it's in a really heavy retort pouch. It's in the regular military type retort pouch in terms of the grade. So the good thing here is this is exactly like what you'd see except it's not green. Got some pretty print on it, not much, but some. And for 89 cents a piece with the rebate, you can't beat it. Now, where would I use this? Well, certainly I could issue this out like I was talking about. I've got a bucket with the meats in it. I've got a bucket with the vegetable items in it. I got another bucket with the bread items, and I'm going to give you a pack of chickens. Some next person's going to hand you out a pack of the vegetable. Another person's going to give you a pack of the bread, the reach of the shelf-stable bread or crackers. Then you're going to get one of the fruit or food, you know, fruit or dessert items and get over there. There's some drink over that way. We got tons of colored water we call Kool-Aid. It used to be a joke, remember. Mark, hey, Mark, it's dinner time. I'm coming over right now. Yeah, exactly. Well, hey, you know what? It really, it's funny. The reason I was bringing this up, especially these meats, is this is perfect issue with those humanitarian meals because they're vegetarian. Everybody's been saying that, and I knew they were, they're vegetarian. Well, all you need are a couple little meat packs like this, guys. And yeah, you're eating like a king. The menu is going to change progressively month after month, year after year, as we get out of the food storage or food reserves. and into what we can package and produce within our domestic areas of activity. So remember that you wanna save as much of this stuff for like high points or special activities because you're not gonna see, like I said, coffee anymore, not for a while. Tea or chicory and tea will be gone too, by the way, that won't take long at all. The days of cheap tea is pretty well gone from America anyway. When they first opened up the Asian theater, which was obviously in China sport, you might remember that all kinds of different tees in the 100 count or 200 count boxes were 89 cents and a dollar a piece, and they were double pouch, full sized, big tea bags. If you go to Dollar Tree right now, and you look to see what they have, they'll either have some exotic tea that you're only gonna get a very small amount of, Or they have, again, the boxes of teabags, and if you open them up, get one and open it up, you have one side of what used to be a double teabag, and that's counted as a teabag now. So the caffeine products or the luxury products, which again, that's what these are, are even in that category are thin now. Well, what we used to do in this country is because we didn't have a whole lot of coffee. Coffee was the big Sunday thing. Let me jog everybody's memory on that. Coffee was the big Sunday thing. You were done, you had the big Sunday meal, and grandma or mom pulled out the coffee pot, which was usually silver or special. And guess what? You served everybody. It was an after-meal thing. It was a treat. Now, what did they drink during the week? Well, those coffee grounds from Sunday didn't get thrown out, number one. Number two, they usually didn't just get thrown out the second time. They usually would grind up chicory, and you take chicory and bolster the coffee grounds, and then cook it again. And, you know, after that, it's chicory for the rest of the week until next Sunday. We are awash, even for the moment, they're trying to maintain the illusion, we are awash in a luxurious food supply. We don't appreciate it. We will very quickly in fact. That's what happened with the Great Depression Everybody had been living the roaring 20s. There was goodies abound everywhere Everybody was living beyond their means and high on the hog and they knew exactly what they were doing the ring knockers pulled the switch and all of a sudden in one one one day and Then progressively it took another 30 days the whole of the country ground to a halt Now this time around people shoot the rest of that that time around People had more moral scruples that were developed by the system. Well, those are gone So everybody's gonna have an attitude which is the other problem they got with everybody armed better than the military now We are armed better than the military no matter what anybody says You can pick the weapons and from a wide selection you could back then too But we've already armed up. It's not like we have to get pissed and go, oh, I'm going to go get a gun. No, that's not how it's going to work at all. You go over to the golf bag and which one shall I do to use today? Which one? Oh, there are so many. Well, I can't waste too much time. I've got to go out and get rid of them. But that's the problem. That's why they're trying desperately to stir the pot, tooth, and think that they're somehow going to take the weapons. And that's just not going to happen. That'll start to work too. More than a things, we'll start a shooting war here that's needed. And once it happens very quickly, the world changes. For the better, no matter how we look at it for the better, because we can't let it go along any farther than it is right now. It's at the end. So, now we need to be prepared for that. It's Weapons Wednesday. Food is a weapon. As was pointed out by one of our listeners, let's see, what was it? Steve MRE and I want to say thank you. I haven't a chance to watch this video yet myself, but it's an evaluation of the humanitarian MREs, which are actually the best priced MREs out there right now. They're actually the only ones I can see look like they're some kind of quote unquote government contract. Steve MRE on YouTube, he tested the humanitarian MREs, which are the latest thing that's popped out in quantity. Now again, SportsmansGuide.com has Those MREs in stock. They are not a single meal MRE. They are a days ration. So what you're getting for what you would pay for a single MRE, in fact, no, because it costs more for a single MRE right now, you're getting all the calories in theory needed to keep you at least at maintenance level safe with one pouch. So the meat that I was telling you about or any of these little add-ons you can get from whatever source you have. It could be treat, it could be spam, it could be a can of mackerel. Any of those could be added to these particular MREs to if you wanted to add a conventional meat protein to the formula, which I would. However, I know that if I threw it at somebody, they got basically everything that they need to stay functional. They're not going to go into brain stupor for lack of calories, because that's what happens. You start to not think right and not think well when you're in starvation mode. Not just going crazy like I'm frothing at the mouth because I need something to eat. We're talking that their body starts to collapse on itself. It starts to literally consume itself. And your enemy understands this, and this is why they know that if they can knock back the calories, destroy the food supply, that a lot of the people will go into basically zombie mode. Not zombie attack mode, just prone zombie mode. Okay? Although if you do, they do smell food, though they get lively real fast and rather vicious. So this is why we need to be prepared for this. We cannot be, we can't fall into that failed situation. We've got to make sure we square ourselves away. Go ahead, College. Mark, I've warned my family that it may be several months before we heat up any food. We may be eating it if it's winter. We're going to be holding it next to our body. We're not going to be cooking until the die-off occurs or the parasites that don't have anything and haven't prepared anything until they start starving and going away. We're not going to be cooking anything, particularly outdoors. unless exactly that happened, that they catch a fragrance and decide that they must have food in there, let's go get them. I'm gonna tell you, I'm gonna tell you one of my, the fact that we just did the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald as I pointed out, we were on a training operation here in Michigan with 12 special forces, I was actually serving with them at the time and The Air Force was supposed to drop us a, we didn't carry anything in, we didn't carry any supplies in, we were supposed to have them drop to us. Air Force came over, I was actually with the team that was calling, I was talking to the C-130, can you see my fires? Can you see my light? Because we put conical covered, Angle head flashlights, you know, so you can directionally control the beam pointed at the aircraft. We had marker fires. We put marker panels just like, you know, everything was done appropriately. The reflective, and they can be seen at night with infrared, or quite nicely, by the way. Guess what? They saw the fire. They confirmed the mark. I'm talking to men. You're in the slot five by five, and they went right over us. The kicker, whatever they did, I have no idea how they could have possibly hockey-pucked what they did. But they dumped everything seven miles downrange in an unknown location. And they were flying at low altitude. Okay? So what does that mean? That means that we had nothing. Well, I never carried nothing. I can't say that. I always stuffed stuff in my pocket and my fanny pack, etc. I pack stuff. But again, whatever you had is all you carried. If you brought some nibble-ease along, that was what you had to eat. And what gets me about this is we were going on the very last day of operations, we were crossing the dunes. And everybody's soaking wet. It got warm, cold, cold, warm, you know, back and forth. We had the high winds, of course, the night that the shipwrecks took place. The next day, clear as a bell, wind out of the northwest and steady. Everybody's soaking wet. Nobody can get dry. There's no food. Okay, whatever we heat it up. You know, it's the first rule, add water. Always remember that, guys. Whatever you do have to eat, throw it in there, add water because everything will soak up whatever moisture it can and it fills the void. Some may not even fill the void, but everybody gets something. You don't eat by yourself. Well, here's a person who did a good old Ranger Rod. He had one of our individuals had hidden away a bag of, it was strawberry licorice, you know, twist. This is back when they first made these things. And I'm in the middle of the dunes. I'm in the rear of the formation with the second element coming across, you know, coming across to go to the LZ to get picked up helicopter. And we probably got a mile and a half, two miles of just wasteland to move over, right? And I smell, I smell, I smell this stuff. And it's like I'm looking around, the nearest guy to me is 30 feet away to my left, 30 feet to my right. There's another security problem, the guy in one of the radio RO's, so I'm in the middle of the formation. And there's two or three guys in front of me, and then there's the next diamond beyond that, and then there's another diamond way beyond that. And I see somebody's hand come up to his face real quick and back down. And yeah, it was Thunder and Hills, I'm looking around. And for this whole group of about maybe, what, 60 men, everybody's doing the same thing I'm doing. They're looking for... They're tracking with their nose. They can smell the same. But it took time for it to roll back. Now was he just ripping the bag open? No, he was just opening the bag up carefully and pulling one piece out and chewing on it one piece at a time. And you could smell that a half mile in front. He was almost with the first echelon. And I could smell that a half mile away like it was literally in front of you and it did not smell like oh just opened a bag of candy. No, no, no, no. It was like That's the stuff I want to eat. Numb, numb, numb. So again, just imagine like Darce talking about, you're trying to cook food in a situation where it will travel on the wind. Death travels on the wind. We've talked, you've seen this before, I won't say you've seen it, you've experienced it maybe, where man, there's a road killer, something dead out here in the back field or maybe along the road you didn't realize it. Oh, dead skunk, dead deer, dead possum, take a pic. It's been out in the sun for three hours, it's a possum balloon and it popped already. Well, you know, it's worse than that. It's like that only imagine with whatever it is that your your palette is familiar with and by the way coffee will do the same thing You know, so just a heads up. It's like of course, it's bad enough people stink Also, I will point out when you get 120 130 men that haven't washed for a while. I could find them in the dark That's real easy after days and days and days and days, you know of doing you know being out and getting dirty And ain't no place to scrub your hind end per se. Well, they aren't making the effort. Bitch black, two o'clock in the morning. Where's the company? Well, hold on a minute. Let's move around. Two things I could do. I could smell. Yeah, they're over that way. What do you mean, over that way? How can you tell? When I'll stop and listen. And then what do you hear with 130 men and 90 of them asleep? Seriously. It's one thing when one man snores. It's another thing when... There's a lot of people snoring and they're all in one place and their dog tired and they just passed out Because they've been going for you know, days and day hours and hours and days and days So anyway again with the food issue good idea the basically what you can do is heat up water and Warm the pouches up again, though that creates vapor and aroma But it's not like you're cooking and and of course moving it to trailing it on the wind Cold ration if you do cold ration The biggest advantage to is also you don't create any additional thermal signature if it's a battlefield environment get used to cold rations That's just an obvious Needless to say you do have a lot of you have MRE heaters they work All your other systems work and there will be a point where you can use them, but you consider that a high meal event You gotta remember, most of what you're gonna do is not gonna be very exciting, not gonna be very, you know, advertising enough. I mean, trust me, you'll be hungry. You'll eat, you'll eat the red out of a skunk you get hungry enough. I was just joking about that earlier. In this case, these rations we're talking about, especially like even the humanitarian rations, are a hell of a lot better than most of what the starving people they were handed out to were gonna probably eat the next meal. Now, in our case, we're not starving yet, but we need to balance out, again, how we use these things. And to improve on what's already available with these ration packs like this is adding a protein pack of some kind. It can be meat, it can be, you know, it can be ham, it can be fish, it can be beans and weiners, it can be Vienna sausages. Well, that's not really meat. No, well, it's kind of meat. But any of that would make a change up or enhance whatever you got there. So you figure out what's going to work with your wallet and Act accordingly, but we're again check this out. It's over at Steve MRE and again, it's the humanitarian rations Says that there's I guess two menus and that's it which I wouldn't bother me I'm well, like I said, I'll figure out how to cook things and by the way, if you can cook There are so many different ways you could enhance every one of the meal rations out there. The guys, you've got really a hundred different options, not just 12 menus or 10 menus, depending on what year it was. At one point we had 16 menus available. My God, no army ever ate like that. Not out of a ration pack, but we're spoiled. Horrifically spoiled. Anyway, a couple of things I want to touch on here real quick. Oh, and by the way, it was mentioned yesterday too. Somebody asked about this. I had an email. It was in the email scroll. The Gorilla Guide to the Bao Feng Radio. The Gorilla Guide to the Bao Feng Radio. That's the book you want to look for. And again, if you get a chance, if you get a copy... Throw it on disc, but remember that disc isn't gonna be great down the road. You really need more books You need more photocopies or laminated copies of some of your works, especially if they're useful and In this case I would say make a copy of the book and laminate every page make it in fact even enlarge it if it isn't an eight half by eleven Format make it in eight and a half and eight and half by eleven format Make it easier to read Okay, small and pocketbook is useful. I've argued for that. I've got a bunch of stuff sitting right here. It's small and pocketbook size. But in this case, if it's a small format book, you also want large format copies for your library or for class and instruction for sharing. In fact, your training aids will determine how large a class you can actually or effectively teach in the field sometimes. because everybody's gonna be able to see the subject matter. And if you can't reproduce it and share it, you're gonna need it in a larger format or you're gonna have to be able to put it on a chalkboard, put it on a paper scroll, put it on something that allows for everybody to see, and then for them to personally take notes with whatever tools you might or might not have in the field. This is why you want to collect notepads. I've got a pile right here I got for free. They're from the Kensington Hotel. Those notepads are going to go to Ziploc bags and those are for field use because things that people don't think about. Okay. Prayer Prepper Planning prevents piss poor performance. Oh, by the way, and a handful of pencils and a handful of hand pencil sharpeners. Go right in the same pouch with the notepads. Got great paper. Although remember this no paper will go to waste if you've used a piece of paper and I can't write on it anymore Fold it up flat put it in your pocket and you will be using it for toilet paper down the road or fire starter or toilet paper first allow it to dry again and use it for fire starter later. Yeah What do you think Joe you think I'm crazy? You'll find out you'll find out But anyway, a couple of the things here also before I forget and oh Go ahead color jump in there. Hey one thing you forgot Green beans have a label on them. You take that off and right on the back of it. Yes Yeah, no, no any of your ray up any of your paper or cardboard boxes or whatever you have. Yes Well, that's true Go ahead. I just was saying Ken goods the label is Good Super fluids. Yeah. In fact, it's one of those things where yes you Well, first of all, I save all the cans that we cut open because there are two that's useful steel Too many things I could do with a tin can and go boom I could use it to patch, you know other things up We used to use them as muffler patches or tail, you know, tailpipe patches all the time didn't we? Take a can, cut it in a perpendicular length of the can, wrap it around, couple of hose clamps, it'll get you down the road and keep you from, you know, the muffler from flopping off. It's not permanent, but it was an extemperate solution, okay? The big thing here again with any paper, That's why I voice laugh. They have to make things look desolate in sci-fi movies. But let me ask you, how long, unless it's just after whatever disaster took place, how much paper do you think is going to be rolling down the road or down the street? How many fires are going to be burning when things have already been burning for a while? You know what I mean? I mean, it looks cool because you're making it look like it's a disaster. So there's some fires here and there. But it's like, well, who's who's talking those fires? It's not a war zone per se. It's just supposed to be a disaster area. Somebody coming along and picking more wreckage and throwing it into the little piles of fire area, fire here and there. Is there a broken gas main that must be really, really tiny so it provides a constant feed? How does that work? You see? The fact is that paper products, anything that anything that's man-made in a crisis situation becomes valuable. Anything. Because even if it was a ripped ziplock bag, the plastic itself can be employed for something else, especially if it's something that's clean and clear. It's not perfect, but guess what? Well, it's good enough for what you're going to do with it. Because if you don't have anything or if you don't have enough, what little you have, you're going to have to stretch as far as you can and improvise, adapt, and overcome. The other thing is that paper wrapper on that can works for white toilet paper too. POWs from World War II pointed out, especially ones that were, before World War II also like in the Gulags, everybody always took every piece of propaganda the Communists were willing to generate and give to the prisoners. Why? Well, they didn't read it, because they didn't have any interest in reading it. What they did is they needed more toilet paper and there wasn't any. The other thing is, as was pointed out a moment ago, is one side of it might still be useful, and have enough white space left that you could write a letter and maybe it would get to someone. And again, maybe not. But again, too many things that can be done with it. We used to be, we'd take an expended piece of paper. I have templates I still have where I was doing this for years and make your own envelopes. People didn't buy envelopes. Store-bought envelopes were a luxury for a special event. like if you were sending a birthday card or something like that, but everyday correspondence, other than official correspondence for business purposes, fabricating your own envelopes was much more economical and everybody was taught to do it. And the same is true with most all the other stuff that we're dealing with here coming up. So again, improvise, adapt, and overcome. One of the other things here too, when the communists attacked the producers and taxpayers while beating, murdering, and burning, in its peaceful activity, when the producers, it's called the peaceful activity by the way, but when the producers and taxpayers rise up to stop the rape of the country by the communists from below and the communists from above the regime, they always demand to call it insurrection or you're being criminal. So we need to learn to just let that water run off our back like a duck and just keep beating the living crap out of them. That's one of the things, you know, how dare you think that your property and your life are yours? Well, they are. And my life is worth something. And whoever attacks me, their life is worth nothing. Whoever comes at me from the regime from above or their minions from below where they try to squeeze all of us, none of their lives mean anything from that point forward. They're your enemy. They've already decided what I just said. They've already decided on their side. Their mission is to try and destroy you. So you have to understand you are fighting for your life and that means that their life is meaningless to you. Their cries are meaningless to you. If they wanted to start the fight, we're going to end it. You have to have that attitude we fight to win. There's no draw. There's no compromise We didn't start it by God will mop the floor with them and and turn them turn them to something You can pick up with a bucket. That's the attitude you better have So we're at the bottom. I'm not gonna ask for a break but Ed And for everybody out there listening pay attention here for a second. This would be fun. I was sitting here thinking about You know, the deep fake technology, which is now pretty cool. There's a guy on YouTube. He's just going to town with Arnold Schwarzenegger and turning him into every character out there in any number of different comedies or different, you know, serious or action movies where he's taken the Schwarzenegger image because that's obviously what he's perfected. And he is the voice is imprinted and the expression is there, etc. Well, Here's a project and I don't care who picks it up, but especially right now. How many of you have watched the movie, The Fifth Element? How many of you have watched The Fifth Element? I know you have. It's classic heavy metal brought to real life. If you remember the old heavy metal magazine. It's interesting the imagery is virtually identical I mean they do they did a fan job fine job an excellent job of translating The imagery from the several key authors and artists from heavy metal Into that movie in fact the whole feel of it is perfect in that respect, okay? There's a couple of really cool scenes after all if you remember and you watch the movie There was a guy called Zorg you remember Zorg How many of you recall who Mr. Zorg was? He was evil. Hey, Debra. Go ahead, Debra. Well, the fifth element is a heavy metal movie. It's just not animated. I can't remember which one of the books it was based after, but it's based after one of the heavy metal graphic novels. Yeah, exactly. No, that's my point. It's perfect. It was an excellent representation. Sometimes they kind of get close, but it was really well done, however. And Ed, see if you can find the Zorg office scene with a little conversation about destruction. Now, I'll tell you what, Ed, it's out there on YouTube because I pulled it up two nights ago. And there's a reason. If you can't pull it up, the soundtrack, the interaction back and forth is a fascinating little conversation to listen to and it's where Zorg is talking to the priest. Okay? And he's explaining how things work. Now, the reason I bring this up, and I'll tell you what, if Ed can find it, we'll play it. It's not that long. It's only so many minutes long. And it's worth it because it kind of lays the foundation for where I want to go with this. But think deep fake. Because... Here we go. It's nice to see you again, Father. Where are the stomps? I don't know. And even if I did know, I wouldn't tell somebody like you. Why? What's wrong with me? I try to serve life. But you only. Which you shall know we serve comes from discussion, disorder, and chaos. Now take the simple glass. Here it is, peaceful, serene, boring. But if it is, look at all these little things. It's all busy now. Notice how these ones are useful. What a lovely ballet ensues so full of form and color. Now, think about all those people that created them. Technicians, engineers, hundreds of people who will be able to feed their children tonight so those children can grow up big and strong and have little teeny-ween children of their own, so on and so forth. Thus, adding to the great chain. Oh, boy. You see, Father, by creating a world of destruction, I'm in fact a courage in life. In reality, you and I are in the same business. Church. Yes, I know. Edward, if you would, come up. What is the title for that video on YouTube? So we have it for our listeners, because for the life of me, I thought I wrote it down. It's on YouTube. It's a perfect sound bite piece. It's kind of cool, the interaction back and forth. But now let's think, let's go deep fake. If you go watch that particular video and then jump in there, if you're able to come in and jump in there as you want. There we go. I'm here. That's actually not the best one that I've seen of that. They actually cut out part of Father Cornelius' speech there after he chokes out in the cheering pit. But... The name of this one is, let's see, Jean Baptist, Emil, Yon, Zog, let's see, philosophy driving the 23rd century business. That's the whole title, that's the thing. But you can find it by doing a search for Zarg office scene in the fifth element, and you'll get a bunch of them up. I just went with one of the first ones that looked like it was complete. I didn't realize they had fudged out the middle there. Right, because there's an extensive speech. Now that's cool. That's okay. Here's why. Now imagine taking the... Right now guys, I don't care who does this, but that scene is perfect to be used. You could even alter some of the words because you want to make it fit to today contemporary moment right now. But imagine deep fake of Zorg. Use the destruction scene in the office with Biden as Zorg. Now who else would I cast there Tucker Carlson is the priest? Okay with Obama as the thug henchmen which like you said if you have the full scene remember There's the henchmen that brings the the priest in and there's the two sub henchmen's that are on either side of the priest We don't care who they're they can stay the same, but you want Obama as the thug Carlson is the priest, Biden as Zorg. Oh, and by the way, there's the scene with the secretary that's probably chopped out of that one. And you make AOC the bubble headed secretary because the expressions on that secretary easily can be duplicated off of, you know, in fact, you can find existing image. Now you want a good deep fake for this. when you're a good buy. It's now you can paint an image rather than match the audio up, you know, bring the tones, everything. And there's auto tone and everything and all that stuff that you can do that's out there. There's a couple of two programs that are decent that you can use. So depending on how much money you had to put in the production, I mean, you could have a lot of fun with it, even get it to sound, you know, like it's the individual's talking. But that's one thing. It's like I love everybody's like, oh, it's so cool that you can do that But it goes over people say was like yeah, but think about it if they can do that with Which takes a whole hell of a lot more bandwidth and memory. What can they do with audio? Great Oh audio sequencing should be is completely in place It's just a matter of when they choose to actually implement it. The thing is with this one the guys if you go look at Zorg the Zorg character, Biden's basic features fit perfectly into that character. I wouldn't even, just to have quick fun, I would just leave the audio exactly the way it is, except with the video. In the beginning of the scene, Zorg is looking out the window, and then he turns and he walks towards the camera. Well, you want him to turn and do a Biden stumble. You want to do a classic Biden going up the airport kind of stumble, you know up the airport ramp airplane ramp, scumbly thing, and then pick himself back up. And when he does get up, you want the face not to be that focused, grim expression of the Zorg character in the video. You want him to have that stunned, deer in the headlights expression, but still have him moving towards the character while looking like left or right, like he's trying to figure out where he is. That's the only thing that would be changed. But otherwise, It's like, you know, you just org, you're in, everybody can see it's biting, okay? It would just be fun. It's one of those things where I don't care who does this, but if anybody out there is listening who wants to really have fun, they could throw it out there and probably do really well on Twitter. It would go well until they block it on... YouTube, but it would still be cool. And again, Obama as the thug. The other characters you work in, they're only bit scenes, but you make sure that you enhance it by throwing Obama in there as the punk thug, the black thug, Carlson as the priest. Carlson as the priest, only because everybody would recognize the character. And again, facially and structurally, it would be easy to work him in. Biden for Zorg and AOC for the bubble headed secretary when they shut the door. She's kind of looking into the office trying to see what's going to happen to the priest. It would be perfect. But anyway, I want to bring this up yesterday. I know it's weapons Wednesday, but you know what? Communications are also a weapon. This kind of this kind of work would be the is the kind of stuff everybody's be throwing out there constantly. And it better quality for this one using just a little better quality deep fake technology just a little more work would go a long way and I guarantee the thing would catch would really catch people's attention because the fifth element you know again is one of those it's a it's now a kind of a cult classic thing it's a considered classic sci-fi piece for the reasons we mentioned we started talking about it. But anyway, Zorg. He means Zorg Biden. You can even add that. Zorg Biden just in place people don't catch on. The name is Zorg Biden. Zorg Biden? Where have I heard that name before? Zorg Biden. Ugh. He's an ugly character. Ooh, ugly. Wicked and evil so anyway the ideas not just complaining about the problems you're gonna have solutions We got to do cool things and we got to do them fast So whoever's gonna do this or maybe more than one that would be fantastic and by the way there are a couple other Inter interactions and the soliloquy is done by certain characters in The fifth element that could be used and you've got that the Zorg character if you pick him out you can use him in different ways Zorg Zorg the evil Zorik the sellout is what he is, you know, like Biden, the peto sniffer meat puppet. So again, also real quick, and then last but not least, his weapons Wednesday. Come on, Mark, we'll stay on track there. If you haven't seen it, guys, High Point Carbine came up with a new rifle. But they came up with a weird, I won't say weird, but the round is already out there. It's like, I guess, 30 caliber defense. It's called it's the 30 caliber defense round. It is basically a 32 ACP long in fact, it's a very interesting cartridge because The gentleman who does forgotten weapons He test fired one of the high points and what he did and this is really fascinating I've mentioned this round many times It's the m 1935 French service pistols cartridge. It's 32 French. Okay. Well he has a source, I don't know where and I'd like to know, he has a source for a new production 32 French. Okay. 32 which is French long. It is a completely alien cartridge to everybody else that's out there. It's like it's longer than the 32 ACP round. Okay. And he loaded the high point carbine with 32 French. And on the video, he shoots it and the thing functions flawlessly. Now, let me give you a hint. I think what he was trying to explain is they came up with this new round they're calling 30 defense. In reality, it's the 32 French service round revisited, reinvented, just putting a new name on it. Now, it is supposed to be slightly different, but what he proved, even though there's absolutely none of that 32 French ammo laying around, he shows in the video that it works. He shoots he goes here. I'm gonna load it this what I got. Oh my goodness Oh, wait a minute. That's not the round. I'm supposed to be using in this carbine. I'm supposed to be using 30 defense Oh, I guess I'll find some and he reaches behind the ammo box right there in front of you and he pulls out the other ammunition He goes, oh, this is the ammunition I need to use so he loads up the other ammo and bang bang bang bang bang gun gun operates like a singer sewing machine Now it's an interesting round If you have the pistol, it would be really cool to have a carbine in that round. It is kind of less than 30 carbine, more than 32 ACP. That's the way to think about it. I don't know what the muzzle velocity is out of the carbine yet. I haven't been able to check that. I think they did list it, but I haven't dug it up yet. But High Point has come out with a .30 defense, it's a .30 caliber defense pistol load. In a carbine, 10 shot, it's a standard High Point, otherwise the only thing they did is made it in that caliber. If you have that round and you're already using it and you were looking for a light rifle because it is a great limited design, Well, there you go. And there's several different people now who have shot it. It is available. Apparently it was introduced or featured at the NRA convention, which is why I don't think I heard anything about it. Nobody was paying attention to the NRA convention, what little there was there. But so far, again, it's one of those interesting little developments. If you have that particular weapon, I don't know if High Point will probably make, if they're making the carbine, they will make a pistol because it's not a big deal. The basic action for the rifle, the carbine is the same action for their handgun. All the same things that are happening with a handgun are happening inside the High Point carbine, okay? So a heads up, they'll probably be producing the pistol. If you like the idea or if you've already got an investment in that weapon and ammunition, fantastic, go for it. But if you have that gun, all I can say first of all is buy the hell out of the ammo. If you want the ammunition, if you want the gun to work, if you want to continue to shoot that weapon, what everybody who is buying that round needs to do is buy everything off the shelf that's there. Clear the shelf, promote the cartridge by moving it in the market. If you don't do this, then the round will die. It will move along for a period of time, and then it will kind of flutter and disappear again. This is the same. The same is true even though the 6.5 Creedmoor is pretty well. All the 6.5s out there are pretty well selling in the AR-15, like 300 Blackouts the same way. But if you want to see more ammunition on the shelf, you've got to clear those shelves off so the ammunition producers get motivated to restock. And these are all good rounds. There's nothing wrong with 300 blackout at all. But if you want to see it continue to function, you know, as a viable option, the inventories need to be bought out so that it will promote improved production of the round. They will increase the amount of production because they will want to get past sales production levels that they already experienced. They're going to want to push the market to try and get more. To do that, you build more rounds. I mean, more than you did the first time, or the second time, or the third time, or the fourth time. You want them to increase production every time they set the machinery up. And the same is true of this 30 caliber. It sounds like it's a great little round before Years ago when I was first buying handguns, when the French came out with this pistol, it looks like a SIG. It looks like a 50s era SIG or a 40s era SIG pistol. If you're familiar with the outrageously priced at about two, three thousand dollars a gun, if you could get them into the US. There were a handful of SIGs, the Swiss used that particular gun. Well when the French came up with their M1935 pistol, it very much was influenced by whatever was going on in SIG. But what they did is they came up with an adopted rather than a 9mm Parabellum or a Tokarev type round. Instead, they went with this 30 caliber, 32 caliber French round. It is a long 32 automatic pistol cartridge. Okay. Where it came from, yeah I know I'm doing the entomology of this stuff. Where it came from is the 30 caliber Peterson cartridge. And I have mentioned this before, the 30 caliber Peterson device was a device that was designed to go on a standard bolt action 1903 Springfield with a single ejection port modification on the left side of the receiver. You used it as a Springfield all day, but if you wanted to use it for trench warfare assault, you took the bolt out, pocketed that on a pouch, took out the Peterson device, inserted it into the weapon, then inserted a magazine in the magazine well, which was about the two o'clock mark. It was on the top and to the right. And what this did is it took your bolt-action rifle and turned it into a semi-automatic weapon. Instead of 30-06, the Peterson device was designed around a pistol cartridge that was 30 caliber and was basically, again, about a little more than a quarter inch longer than the standard .32 ACP round that everybody had in their pocket pistol. Now, what they did is they literally created an assault cartridge for the Springfield rifle. Now when they were done with the war the Peterson device kind of disappeared from service The mark one receivers were put in with everybody else all the other Springfield rifle receivers because it was the same and The round disappeared. Well, the French saw it and liked it and that's where they came up with the next generation of pistol cartridges for the French service military service and That's the 32 French round a mark. So It's goofy. They've kind of reinvented the Peterson round is really what they did, but it's interesting. Go ahead jump in their car You might be able to squeeze 30 car being round to fit in a 32 long chamber Well, what's interesting is? This new round I have not seen any of the pistols that are in this new 30 30 caliber defense But that's what's interesting is it's it's shorter than the carbine. Years ago when we had these pistols, here's what we did. Okay, what would my solution be? It was a .32 caliber, right? What we did is we took a piece of .32 ACP brass towards the middle of the case, cut it, the difference in the length, and made an insert like you did for the caliber conversion from .30-06 to .308 for the grand. And the brass would work for so long, but then it wears out. So then you had to take a collet, you had to take a reamer, and you ream out the little piece of brass, chuck it, cut a new piece of brass, which we made a bunch of them. And like I said, if you look on the, remember the 32 ACP is like all these automatic pistol cases. As you get farther down the case, the case gets thicker. So you don't, you could use the end of the case, but you don't want to. You want to use the middle, because you have a little thicker brass ring. and you would insert that in with using another .32 ACP round and then you could kind of get the pistol to work. Now the only thing about that is that the .32 ACP is sloppy in the magazine. You know, it's short. But now here's the thing, I haven't seen what the .30 Defense pistol cartridge looks like, have you? No, I have not. So I hear it's about... I had a Springfield back in 1974 that was sporterized and customized. But it still had the original sights. It had that slot on the left side. Mark 1. I wonder what that was for. You had a very round receiver. Yeah, you should have gotten rid of that. Okay, I was only like 14 years old. Yeah, they're worth a chunk of change now even if it's in the sporterized rifle that receiver is It's now a very highly collectible component Well, the thing is, it's a second generation or third generation Springfield. Well, when they built the Mark 1s, it was the end of the war. So this very small number supposedly were only dual heat treated. The rest of the production run in the Mark 1 receiver, that's what that is. Well, it should have said Mark 1, where the nomenclature is for the serial number and everything. If you looked, it would say mark one. It's the odd man out in the Springfield receivers and it's worth some change. A lot of guys carried the Peterson devices back and years ago we found a clutch. of nine complete Peterson devices in a yard sale in northern Ohio. And the guy had, he thought it was a grease, not a grease gun weapon, he thought it was parts for a grease gun for greasing a car. Right. Okay. But it, but, but he had, yeah, it was his day. Yeah, his dad brought it back from World War one He had all stuff in the garage and the guy had something like maybe oh, I think it was 18 or 19 magazines The magazines are worth a fortune But the Peterson device itself guys we can build that with any in any shop right now the equivalent to that real quick is Something that was done by the by the Australians when they didn't have enough Bren guns. They took bolt action and fields pulled the bolt and made an action and I know they got the idea from the Peterson but they made it to work operate as a fully automatic weapon in a British Lee Enfield rifle. It's basically another infield on steroids, okay? But all it was was a drop-in system where they used the existing receiver. They didn't do anything to change it. And they made larger capacity infield magazines, although one of the other models uses the Bren gun mag. So these are solutions with bold action rifles to make them semi-auto. Now, think about what you could do if you take the same idea, but you make a plastic magazine well for the bottom of, say, the Enfield, or the bottom of the Springfield. You take the same idea, the Peterson device, but rather than using the magazine, Big Stick Magazine, you use pistol magazines, and the Glock is the solution for that. So how many, how many mousers are out there? You could take the mouser and modify it like that. You can take any military gun where you had, any military bolt action where you have a lot of them and produce a Peterson type device that would make them semi-automatic. We got it right here on YouTube. You can look at someone using one right now. Check it out. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Yep, got it now. Good new research. Finally, we got to get out of the way. Because we got Craig from forbidden knowledge coming up guys. In fact, he's probably chomping at the bit waiting in the wings right now. God bless the republic. Death is the new world order. We shout for bail. We're going to get out of here so Craig can take over. Don't you touch that dial. Eastern Standard Time. If you're listening in those times that time slot and we are live and you can participate in the show if you like. I don't have a whole lot here lined up to talk about but if nobody wants to bring in a new subject I will take over and create a subject. I do have some things brought up here on the computer. Sorry I haven't been with you live very much. My show is going to suffer this year, this warm season because I just got a lot to do with my What I'm doing with my property and my equipment and the build and everything that's going on in my life right now, I just don't see how people can do this every day for hours on end. I just can't. I got way too busy. Now, if I did this for a living, if I was my bread and butter, I suppose I'd find a way to do it and I might be more into it. But I don't get paid for anything I do here. I have no sponsors. I have no affiliate latency because my YouTube channel, same thing. A lot of people wonder... One of the reasons my channel doesn't grow is because I don't play the money game. I don't have the monetized channel. I don't have the affiliate links. I don't have sponsors. I don't have any way of making any donations. I don't get a single penny from my YouTube. Or from what I'm doing here on Liberty Tree Rate. Nothing. I don't try to either. It's just not my thing. I believe that if you are... removed from any sort of monetary gain or influence that the information provided will be probably much more reliable because we just do not get that through anything in the mainstream media and very little of it even on podcasts and YouTube and all the other independent sources. I was talking with somebody today about the I read an article that there was a flurry of pirate radio stations popping up in Oregon for whatever reason. And I was talking to somebody about that because pirate radio, basically what we're referring to, generally referring to when we say pirate radio, we're talking like AM or FM unauthorized broadcast that don't have FCC licenses. Many times it's very low power stations. Now, this is something that was actually very much more prevalent 20 to 30 years ago I'm pretty sure this radio network. He was even involved in some aspects of that will not go into that but there was Also a station that I used to listen to in Michigan Pastor Rick's talk cutter in Michigan. I think he did a show had a station called Radio Free Letaway, which means Letaway County in Michigan. And he had, did a radio show in the morning. I think he did about three or four hours of like prime time radio morning talk show. And he was only broadcasting at 95 watts FM. And what that does is it's so low power that it's really only available Like say an account in this case and maybe not even that much edges of the county Really can't go very far and in this case because this is coming out of Adrian, Michigan, which is it's kind of like southeast of Jackson, Michigan and southwest of Ann Arbor, Michigan, it's like only, it's less than an hour to the border to Ohio. It's actually like about half an hour to 45 minutes to the border of Ohio. And see, the thing is, if the broadcast signal does not cross state lines, which it didn't in this case going to Ohio, then the FCC truly and honestly doesn't have jurisdiction. They'll try to claim they do and they'll make all kinds of noise and all kinds of threats to you. But the reality is of it, the state of Michigan would have to set rules regarding the transmission of the use of the airways within their state. That's called inter-intra state commerce. Whereas if it was crossing state lines, it would be interstate commerce. If you're flying an airplane and you're going across state lines, the FCC, the FAA certainly has jurisdiction. If a crime is committed in one state and the perpetrator is traveling across the country and going across state lines, then the FBI or other federal agencies might have jurisdiction. But if they don't cross state lines with examples like that, then they really, truly, honestly don't have jurisdiction. The federal government doesn't have jurisdiction. Now, the state of Michigan could and may, and they may have something on the books, I don't know, where they essentially just adopt all the rules of the FCC in their state. I don't know the details of that. But in Oregon, these stations were allowed to broadcast. Apparently it's become a little bit of a problem in Oregon for whatever reason. Now, the conversation I had with somebody was, today, why don't we have these stations today very much? Because I haven't heard about fire radio quite a while. Well, it's because of the internet. Basically, any point of view you want to entertain, let's say, It's available online. You can go on YouTube or a network like this or a podcast anywhere. There's thousands of podcasts. Might I say millions of podcasts? I don't know if there's millions or not, but certainly there's thousands of podcasts all over the world where you can tune into any type of political bent or any type of information you want online. Whereas with radio, you're only, you're stuck with whatever you could tune into the radio. And with mainstream radio sources, just like mainstream TV or cable sources, you had very little option of getting alternative information that wasn't already available and pushed across the whole spectrum of mainstream media, whether it be radio TV or cable TV at the time. So today, it's a little bit different because you can go anywhere you want and listen to whatever you want or watch whatever you want. So it's a little freer and I say a little freer because the internet has also become a cesspool of nonsense where there's a whole lot of lies and misinformation even on the alternatives. I might cite Alex Jones for instance in their case that he recently lost. Now, Jones did have some truthful things with everybody had a whole lot of lies too and you need to acknowledge that and understand that even the alternative sources quite often are lying to you as well. And if you look at all these alternative sources, I shouldn't say all of them because I'm not influenced by commercial and sponsorships and so on because I have none. Even these alternatives frequently have commercials and are sponsored or they have other monetary gain encumbrances, shall we say, that could influence their show. For instance, the mainstream media, it's pretty well known, and I don't remember the numbers, but something like in the neighborhood, the 30-something percentile of the mainstream media, let's say, let's say, mainstream TV, ABC, CBS, CNN, all these, 30-something percent, if I'm recalling my numbers, right, saying 30-something, because maybe it was 40-something, a percent of the revenue that's coming in through advertisers, coming in from pharmaceutical companies. You know lots of money to throw around and the government goes along with anything the pharmaceutical companies do as well And so that's why stories like because I found a story here. Let me see it here. I thought several stories one was about a doctor who claimed and I could talk about COVID-19 on this network and I can't necessarily on YouTube But by the way, I'm going to I'm going to I think I'm going to I'll see how I feel like at the end of this broadcast Again, this broadcast I may go online on my YouTube channel for a time So if you want to get ready for that, you'll go to forbid TV has no space to DS prevent fellow to DS no space TV so prevent TV a YouTube channel and you'll have to probably click around to find it because they don't Promote my channel. I'll tell you they'll ask you something else that said like are you sure you don't mean forbidden TV? No, I meant for a bit TV You have to force it to take you there and you look at this anyway you get the channel and you I'm easily spotted by the civil defense level and that's well, I think that's one thing we were talking about today with somebody else talking to about these radio stations are popping up and how And also how AM radios are disappearing. I guess I'm going all over the place here. I know I've got a lot of information in the bar here. So we don't have the micro FM broadcast anymore. And I don't recall there being a big deal about AM except some, the problem with AM is it broadcasts generally across state lines, even lower powered ones, especially at night. So AM wasn't as much of a target for the so-called pirates. But you know these are the ones sometimes that disseminate real news and honest and truthful information, but yet they're called pirates. I know Pastor Schrocklider was famous for saying, and they call us pirates. You know, I thought he talked about something the government was doing. And they call us the pirates. So in Oregon, it's apparently a little thing. I don't know if anybody in Oregon listening could confirm all that. I saw some articles about it. I didn't bring any of them up here. If it's a low-powered signal and it doesn't cross state lines, the FCC really doesn't have jurisdiction. You have to understand that. These movies that were thrown at us, where I'm thinking for like Die Hard, most of you have seen Die Hard, where the crime is committed and all of a sudden the feds are taking over. Wait a minute, does crime have anything to do with interstate commerce? Did it cross state lines? Why is this all said in a federal issue? And the movies do this all the time and we just accept it and we believe it because the movies. And we've been pounded with this for our entire lifetime. But jurisdiction is a major issue that they have to abide by. It's a challenge. The county sheriff of that county, in the case of Guyhart, I think it was in New York or something, probably New York or L.A., whatever, the county of that sheriff could kick the feds out if he wanted to. But a lot of times they don't have the resources or funds to deal with some of these big things, so they just kind of allow it. They step aside. The counties don't have to allow that. So, okay, I was talking about radio. Radio, we were talking about an older gentleman, the CFP remembered during the Cold War. We had something called not only Civil Defense, but we also had Conelrath. I don't know if anybody of you are old enough to remember Conelrath. If you're not maybe older than 60, you probably don't have any idea what I'm talking about with Conelrath. Today you call it. Well, I don't even know what it's called today back in the day in the 50s and 60s We had something called Connell rad where you can turn your rate your AM radio because with all cars everybody had a radios back in the 50s and 60s Didn't necessarily have FM much back in the 50s and 60 But everybody had an AM radio and the AM radio on the frequencies. I believe it was 670 And on the high end of the dial, it was 16-something. At both ends of the dial, there was something called Conal Red. And a lot of these old cars, you might find some antique cars that have a button, a push button on their radio that has a little civil defense signal, symbol rather, on the push button. It was automatically tuned to Colorado, so when you push that button, it will immediately take you to 670 or 1690 or whatever it was. I don't remember what the other frequency was. I'm not even sure if I remember the lower frequency. But on each end of the M dial, you had a place where you can go for emergency information. regarding the Cold War and the Cuban Missile Crisis and everything, all the scares of the 50s and 60s dealing with Soviet Union and nuclear war, which later became what they referred to as the emergency broadcast system, where they changed it to where basically it overtook the airwaves of every radio station in the country. With that stupid tone that you all heard it and would automatically bust in and broadcast on whatever you were listening to Instead of having to manually tuned to one end of either end of the dial on the AM radio This now it basically broadcasts everywhere and they changed the name many years back to something else, but it's similar to the emergency broadcast system But that's what it was for many decades and now they've changed the name and it's similar sounding it anyway They still have that system in place. But back in the day in the fifties and sixties. There were two places on the am dot now Ford and some other car makers are talking about eliminating AM radios from cars and there's some reasons for that and well possibly because the Popularity of AM has dwindled AM radio now if you live out way on the booties and radios pretty much all you have So people live out ranches out west and they have thousands of acres and you live far from the major cities You have very little options to listen to any kind of FM radio if you want to say FM radio Because it just doesn't go as far. So you're out there, you're going to be using AM radio pretty exclusively or shortwave, of course, shortwave radio or AM radio. But AM radio is going by way of the dodo because, partly because of the popularity, but partly because of the push towards electric vehicles and the problem with interference with the AM signal in electric cars. This is something that's a little bit of a problem that they probably could overcome. Mean in the day of the car that can drive itself. We can't overcome this little this interference thing with a radio They probably could but apparently it's rather technically expensive and they have to redo a lot of their electronics So I thought of me that has a lot of wasted energy single signals that are being Basically transmitted by the electronics in the car that is wasted energy and it's crossing a static and interference with the am radio signal that's trying to receive so to me that's partly a problem with the the the bad electricity of the components, if you will. I don't know the right word. I'm not using the proper terminology. I'm sure somebody that's this big into electronics will probably yell at me right now. But the signal is being corrupted by the electric car itself. But Ford doesn't know, so even if they're gasoline cars, gasoline diesel cars, that they're going to be eliminating AM radio. So, let me see what they say about this here because I did bring up an article. I didn't read the whole thing. I knew about this. I had to bring up a little bit of thing. Wall Street Journal reported in late February that seven former FEMA administrators wrote to a transportation secretary. Scrolling down. Pete Buttigieg and several congressional committees asking for the government to seek assurances lawmakers that AM radio will remain a huge feature in vehicles. So the federal government is preferring to try to keep them. And of course, lobby ranchers and so on would also love to keep it. Even former Vice President Mike Pence voiced a same AM radio public service announcement for 77WABC, which It's being offered to radio stations there. Broadcast AM radio is essentially the central part of our emergency alert infrastructure and is an integral piece of American history. But it might be a little outdated. FM radio and nowadays cars, you could have satellite radio. Many do. Many have had them for decades. So there's just a shift in the airwaves and what you can listen to. Now AM and FM radio, you have very little options other than pirate stations. You have very little option to get any kind of information that wasn't say mandated by our government or mandated by the people who control the press and make sure that we only get the moves that we were supposed to get. Sirius and the other satellite subscription services were a little better for that. But frankly, again, we're talking about commercial interests of those. So I highly support the idea of pirate radio and also internet use that doesn't have monetary gain attached to it. Now, that's not to say that it's a bad thing that people need to make money in order to broadcast because a lot of people wouldn't even do it, like me. Why should I do this? I don't have a really big audience either on YouTube or on a radio here. I didn't have a very big audience when I was doing live TV. But I did it because I thought it was kind of necessary to get some different voices out there. And I think I have some valid opinions and truthful content. And that's what I tried to do. And I felt that I felt this more like a public service announcement, a large one that of my own making. And it's my own thing. And if we had more of this on the airwaves and especially ones that reached wider audiences. I think that would be a good thing. The problem is, the wider of an audience you reach, the more corrupt your program becomes. Because somebody's going to come out and advertise their supplements or whatever, and they're going to watch you not only to promote their supplements, but not maybe say anything bad about their, about, let's say, the alternative healthcare industry, for instance. You see, it's a slippery slope when you get advertisers involved. I've always imagined what a world would be like where, We had no advertising. What would that world look like if there were no advertising? If advertising was illegal, let's say, we don't want government to get involved in that. But if it was, if advertising was illegal, would stations be TV and radio and Internet, would it still thrive without it? And would you get enough donations to keep you going to make a business? Because those donations would almost certainly have to start coming from corporate interests or somebody with an agenda. And that's a big problem for free speech. Because the money gets in the way. And not just money either. Sometimes it's just political ideology. Look what the greenies are doing. And the greenies, it's really a liberal political agenda to destroy our grid, for instance, and force us into electric cars and destroy our grid. And take away our natural gas stones and there's a whole litany of things that they're trying to do under the guise of Environmentalism you can't be about saving the environment can you can't be against that but this disguise and they lied to you so much and maybe I can get into some of that factor They lie you so much about these things that it's inevitable That you're also gonna get political ideology and of course that's money too We all we all know that political is money too, but on the surface of it It doesn't look like money in the immediate term. It looks more like a political agenda being foisted upon us. And the Greenies are one of the biggest examples of that. So, let's see. So anyway, and yeah, let me see, I've got some things I brought up here. Nobody's calling in here yet and everybody's participating. New York ditches gas stoves fossil fuels in new buildings in first statewide ban in the US. Now we already know and I've already covered on this channel here before how about how they're California is trying to force all new electric cars by the year. What is it 2036? Well to be I'm sorry to be more accurate to force all the sales of new cars to be electric or or hydrogen in this case non polluting cars zero emission vehicles by the year 2036. That's the more accurate doesn't necessarily have to be electric vehicles it could be hydrogen But there really isn't many choices right now. There are hydrogen cars in the U.S. If you didn't know, I looked it up here right before I go on there to see if they still exist. It's the Toyota Mirai, Mirai, M-I-R-A-I. Mirai, yes. And also the Hyundai Nexo. So yes, there are some hydrogen cars though, but you have a way to fill them up. You have a way to fuel them up. California there are actually some places where they can do that and some people actually do that but it's the same sort of BS problems that they have with charging up electric cars. Not enough of them, not quick enough, not... Keeping up just all the problems associated with the charging that stations with electric cars They're having even more problems with the hydrogen charging stations and you have a lot less option So you're probably not gonna drive a hydrogen powered car in the near future To go very to go beyond your local area where your hydrogen fueling station is located But yeah, New York is right now is passed a law. Let's see. This is from this is recent. This is from May 3rd. So it's very very very recent New York Has become the first state in the nation to pass a law banning natural gas and other fossil fuels in most new buildings a move that could help reshape how American deep and cook in their homes in the coming decades Okay, let's disseminate. Let's hear that same sentence apart. First of all, they're saying in most new buildings. So there are some exemptions and it's just new buildings. In other words, they're not going to, the Gestapo isn't, the greeny Gestapo isn't going to come kick down your door and take away your gas stove yet. Even after the year 2025, I'm not that far in the arc. I don't remember. I think it's 2025 or 126. I'll get to that point. But anyway, they're not going to be you can still have gas stoves They're just going to require new buildings to be equipped Would be not equipped with natural gas or other fossil fuels now other fossil fuels is that clear to me? But I presume that means propane is all just going to propane because a lot of people use propane anyway, we don't have natural gas lines But I'm presuming that means propane. I don't want to get get more into this I haven't researched this 100% to find out I haven't read the bill And most new buildings, so there are some exemptions. I think churches, restaurants, there's a list of, I saw the list of exempted. Maybe it's going to be coming in this article. So, late yesterday, the New York legislature approved a 229 billion state budget that will prohibit natural gas hookups and other fossil fuels from most new homes and other construction. They made your victory for climate activists. No, they're not climate activists. If you look at Greenpeace and all these other activist organizations about the climate, really climate terrorists. They're using the so-called Green Movement as terrorism towards your freedoms, essentially what it comes out to, like their freedom to have a gas stove, for instance. Ask any place that is a cook, a professional cook, how they like to cook. Most of you probably have cooked with both gas and electric. And I'm sure most all of you would agree that natural gas is a much better way to cook for propane than electric. That's been my experience. And with my experience with anybody I've talked to is most people who try both very, very go strongly to the favor of natural gas. It's easier to adjust the heat very quickly and to heat it up quicker too. And it's just a way to control the way you cook. much more controlled than electric. Anyway, that's an opinion there, of course, but everybody, I think most everybody will have that opinion to try both. The move which will likely face a court challenge from the fossil fuel industry will serve as a test of states power to ban fossil fuels outright rather than simply encouraging developers to build low carbon buildings. Again, they're not banning them outright yet. It's just new construction, some new construction, most new construction, by the year 2026, as I see here. The law effectively requires all electric heating and cooking. You get that? All electric heating and cooking in new buildings shorter than seven stories by the year 2026 and by the year 2029 for taller buildings. And although it allows exemption from our manufacturing facilities, restaurants, hospitals, and even car washes, the measure does not do what some climate activists have feared. And that is give cities and countries license to override the ban. Dozens of cities and I said county, I said countries, I meant counties, I'm sorry. Give cities and counties license to override the ban. Dozens of cities and counties have adopted bans on gas hookups and new buildings. part of the national movement to cut emissions from homes and businesses that account for about 11% of the nation's carbon pollution and 30% of New York's state greenhouse gas emissions. Now, okay, wait a minute. Pause here for a second. So heating and cooking. And I also saw water heaters being possibly thrown into this mix here. Water heaters, so you're going to have to convert. The greenest goal is to get you off natural gas. So that means you're going to have to eventually, no matter where you are, because they're going to have forces on you. You don't think they're going to have to have forces on you eventually. You're going to have to get rid of your gas stove. You're going to have to get rid of your gas water heater. You're going to have to get rid of your gas furnaces. You're going to have to get rid of any gas heaters. You're going to have to get rid of your gas dryer. Natural gas, the greenies have vowed to do away with fossil fuels, and natural gas has been labeled as a fossil fuel. That along with coal and some other oils and other things biofuels. I think they're even sometimes they're considering them fossil fuels This is the goal of the greenies and meantime, they're just gonna destroy your grid because now okay that this article said 11 to about 11 percent of your nation's carbon pollution at 30 percent of New York State greenhouse gas emissions now I don't know how that translated how much energy that is not necessarily I'm not versus versus carbon pollution because frankly Natural gas pollutes less than said coal. Now almost none of us heat with coal and almost none of us cook our food in the coal. I did once in my life, had a coal stove, but most of us do not. And natural gas is much less, much more greener than, shall we say, than coal. That's why a lot of coal plants have been disappearing in favor of natural gas plants. And actually, not a lot have been disappearing. They've just been adding because our demand for electricity has been increasing over the decades. And now, with the elimination of heating and cooking with natural gas, that's got to be taken up with electric. Right. There's not really much. Is there any other options to heat? Okay, you could you could cook with a son They used to have the solar oven son oven and there are other ways to heat things But essentially it's all done with fossil fuels or electricity So now if they take away your stove, you got that big empty hole in your kitchen, really? They have to be put in electric stove. You got no choice now you're that or Figure out something else No cooking or you just use a microwave from now on but That electric stove is going to be sitting there and you're going to have to learn to use it and it's going to raise your electric bill. You don't cut your gas bill, sure, but it will raise your electric bill and your electric bill will go up proportionally more than the natural gas portion of it that it offsets. And now we put more stress on the grid and the grid is already too small to really do what we want to do now for the most part. We are on the borderline. The grid is on the borderline and collapsing at any time. lose a few generator stations or a few key transformers and the grid goes down and Potentially nationwide if enough of them are lost. So we're already at the limit and Where are you going to get this electricity this additional electricity from for all these electric heaters cooking stoves water heaters dryers all the gas appliances you have in your home now you may have your own We're gonna get this electricity from it's gonna come from the grid and then you plug in your electric car to boot Just the electric car part of it I've seen figures that suggest we need a grid about 30% larger when they go all electric cars as they are threatening to do by the year 2036 in the case of California. And 17 other states, by the way, there's another article here. The headline says 17 states weigh adopting California's electric car mandate. A lot of states piggyback off of what California is doing. I would say, if I wanted to say, let's get rid of these, California, the curb for a change. This is getting, they're getting really stupid. That's why people are leaving their state, because they're getting really stupid. So yeah, they want to force you electric car, but I think it's 2036. And then I also heard, and I read a report about, let me see, I don't see it now. I thought I had another article about trucks, diesel trucks. They're also trying to eliminate, Diesel trucks. Well, okay, wait a minute, wait a minute. What are you going to replace a diesel truck with? Temerates. Where in the world do you think you're going to do that? And that would be trains too, because they're diesel. So these greenies, they want to get rid of fossil fuels. That means trains too. Trains don't just run off of water. Everybody knows they use diesel fuel. Yeah, they're diesel electric. There's a big electric generator that drives the motors or that electric train Yeah, trains are almost all trains today are electric but they're powered by a diesel generator essentially. That's what a Locomotive engine is. It's a diesel engine that drives a generator that powers an electric motor. And for the traction motors underneath, they call them trucks. They call them trucks inside the traction motors, which are down below the main part of the machine. The motors for those things are about maybe the size of a little bit smaller than like a washing machine drum, maybe about the size of a washing machine drum. That's about how big the electric motors are underneath the... In between the very basically in between the wheels on the axles of the trucks They call them the trucks are a series of four wheels together or steel wheels that ride on the rails And the electric motors the call traction motors. They used to work on the railroad So those electric motors were there in between the steel wheels underneath the main part of the locomotive Because they both part is not only the cab, but then it's got fuel tanks and it's got the diesel engine or engines And then it's got a generator that generates electricity which goes down below to the truck's magnet. What do we have to replace? Okay, electric cars are a thing. It could be done with electric. We could replace cars today with electric cars if we had electricity power then. And if we had enough lithium and cobalt and nickel. And so many other minerals we have to mine if there's enough of that on the planet to mine to make these batteries that they can try to force us to use. And if there's a lot of ifs about the electric car, if the price comes down, I mean, but now we're talking sometimes, in some cases you're talking double the price for a car. I looked at the prices of these these two the Toyota and the Hyundai hydrogen vehicles and they started about $50,000 start at a $50,000 I think the Hyundai starts at like $69,000 or something I can't remember now don't have any information up in front of me, but they're there's $50,000 plus and a lot of your electric cars are $50,000 plus now they have come down and price them But there's gonna be a limit to where they can't come down anymore And if you think you're saving you the your environmental footprint on the planet by getting electric car you are mistaken The research shows that if you get an electric car and if you own it for at least I think it's two years or two point something years, then anything after that, then yes, you will be having to starting to reduce your so-called carbon footprint on the year by you having electric car instead of a fossil fuel car. And maybe two, I can't remember the number of years, but two point something or maybe it's going to have three years. In other words, if you have a hybrid right now and you're replacing, oh, I need to get all these new electric things so they're better, no, you've just made your carbon footprint bigger for a time, they take a lot more mining of minerals. These batteries are, the batteries are the big culprits. Even though battery technology has changed, you notice I didn't say get better, battery technology has changed in the last, say, 20 years. They haven't necessarily gone better. The battery is going to be a dead end. I think the battery has already been a dead end. Think about this. Benjamin Franklin was one of the inventors that were working on battery technology, chemical electric batteries. Benjamin Franklin, of course, you realize that must mean that's more than 200 years ago. So the electric battery, the chemical battery, has been in development for over 200 years. And what we are presented with today, made in China, isn't capable of doing what the greenies think we can do with it. Because we don't have the resources on the Earth enough to make it. Now, maybe, there are other better technologies, but you have to find ones that are suitable to be used in a vehicle that takes a lot of beating and pounding and the risk of fire and quick charge and quick discharge and so on. Because there are other types of batteries that are used on land that are stationary that are more suitable for some applications. But even then, our grid, if the power went out in the world today, it's been estimated we have enough electricity to run our grid. I'm sorry, if every generating station, every nuclear power plant, every coal, every natural gas, every single power station on Earth would stop at the same time, We have enough storage to last about one minute and I think it was 13 seconds. The grid would still be up for about one minute and 13 seconds, worldwide average. Okay. That not only includes batteries, it includes things like pump storage and all the other methods we have to store energy. One minute and 13 seconds, I think it was. That's how much battery, I keep saying battery, that's how much energy storage we have. batteries are part of that but it's not the main investment usually people point at is batteries batteries are like actually not the best efficiency pump storage is actually one of the better ones that's essentially where you It's like a hydroelectric dam where you can open up the valves and get more water flow and get more energy and you can close off the valves to reduce the energy that you're getting from the water which is stored behind a concrete wall. Essentially that's it. You can make it into a lake that's up in the mountain and it drains down when you want to and then when you're producing more power than you need you pump it back up. That's what they call this to hollow the grid. When energy is produced, generated, it must be distributed basically immediately. It's not like, well, they can just put it in this container and wait till 5 o'clock when people start coming home and start using more electricity, then we can get it out of the box and put it back in. No, you have to generate it immediately. That's why renewables are so terrible for the grid. They're actually a burden on the grid, not an asset. Ask California, ask Germany what they're going through. These are countries right now that everybody in the world should be studying and realizing, oh, we don't want to go there. Germany right now. I pulled up some articles that are fighting with trolls on my channel and other channels. And I found this article that shows that a German wind farm is being dismantled, destroyed, whatever, to make room for more coal mining. Oops. Because Germany has last week, or when it was about two weeks ago now, Germany a couple weeks ago shut down the last nuclear power plants they have. They used to get 25% of their energy, their electricity, I should say, from nuclear power. But because the Greenies got firm grip on their country and then they got scared more, even more by Fukushima, they moved up their timeframe, even with the Ukraine thing going on and the cutting off of natural gas from Russia, they shut off their nuclear power plants. Germany was most known for destroying other countries. Now I think they're going to be well known for destroying themselves because that's what they're going to do. Now you're going to be talking exorbitant electricity rates. If you're going to have to fill it in with coal or natural gas, you're going to have to use fossil fuels to replace that nuclear. You have no choice in the matter. And they're going to have an exorbitant electricity rate because those nuclear power plants were... providing very cheap electricity. Regardless of what the greenies try to throw at you about nuclear car being so expensive, yeah, they're expensive to build, but you know those plants last like 60 years, 70 years? There's some to say they might be able to go 100 years. It's a huge capital investment up front, but once you get it built, it starts paying itself off really quickly, and the fuel costs are very, very low compared to coal or natural gas, because the fuel actually is very concentrated and it's very energy dense. And so they've gotten rid of their nuclear and they're claiming that they're going to go at 100% renewable. I call them ruinables because that's what they are. It's just a little bit different. It comes out ruinables. They're destroying their infrastructure because they're going to have exorbitant electricity rates. They're going to have energy rationing. And I said energy rationing, not only electricity but all energy forms because they're going to do away with fossil fuels. What do you think is going to happen to their transportation sector or their manufacturing sector? And they're going to have massive rolling blackouts. Play around with those windmills and the solar panels and you're going to pay. Now, listen to me here. I think I'm an anti-Earth or whatever. I've been using solar panels and wind generators and electric vehicles for about 40 years. I'm in favor of them, however. They're not going to work the way the greens are trying to force them to pass. They are not going to work at grid scale. If you want to live off grid, you can do that. It's very, very difficult, damn near impossible without fossil fuels. And I still challenge anybody. I challenge them on my channel and nobody can challenge me on this. You really can't go 100% solar and wind. I know a lot of you say, well, I know, but over in Westchester is doing it, blah, blah, blah, blah, you'll start coming up with all kinds of samples. And I can point and show you how, no, they aren't. You see those polar panels. And the greenies, here's one way the greenies really lie to you big time. They're comparing, let's just use something that everybody can get their heads around, one megawatt on solar versus one megawatt of nuclear. Well, that's the rating. That's not actual production numbers. One megawatt of rated nuclear can generate one megawatt 100% of the time, 24-7, other than the times they're down for maintenance or whatever. 100% of the time, one megawatt. Bring in solar, one megawatt. That's what it's rated at. So again, 24-hour sun at noon every single day with brand new panels, then you get one megawatt. But no, there's something called night. And that's, you know, averages 12 hours of darkness where you have zero. So now you have to bring it down to .5 megalot, right? Well, no, it gets a lot worse than that because in the morning you get a lot less. And the evening you get a lot less when the sun comes up or sun comes down. You only get what it's rated at for about an hour in the middle of the day at noon with no clouds or rain or snow. The problem so what that means is you need a four megawatt Solar array to match that one megawatt nuclear power plant now you're so already you've already increased the price four times So when they say solar is cheaper, no There's not you've already surpassed it, but it gets worse than that folks I was talking that four times is about what you need to expand that solar plant to match nuclear or coal or whatever In the summertime in sunny, Arizona or New Mexico or Southern California Where you have more sun? But for most of us like say where I'm in Michigan right now. I need a system. That's 30 times larger To have all my my my energy needs I said energy. I didn't say electricity. No reason if I'm going to try to power my furnace Or my gas stove or all these other things that use energy No, there's all these people that pretend they're off-grid. Oh, yeah, I go completely off-grid. No, you're still using propane You're still using natural gas. You're still even wood You're still burning something to supplement because especially in the wintertime where you need a system That's 30 times larger to meet your electric needs and your energy needs 30 times larger your roof already in your house is not that big it cannot The roof in your house, it might support you in the summertime, but it will not support you in the wintertime, unless maybe you're in Arizona or whatever. So now you need a 30 megawatt plant on places that are maybe poor and solar, or let's say even average in solar, to meet for those seasonal demands. You have to have the energy storage where you store it for months and bring it back in the wintertime when you need it, because you don't have enough sun in the wintertime. to make your solar system work properly. And that's just, that surpasses the GDP of all nations on the planet to think you're gonna get enough energy storage to meet those demands on your grid and not have interrupted electricity coming to your home. Or to your manufacturing, you're thinking in terms of homes, but we also have to think in terms of our infrastructure and manufacturing industry. How are you gonna? Keep iron ore and lime and manganese to over 2,000 degrees with solar and wind to make steel. How are you going to do that? Please explain it to me. I'd love to see your amazing physics behind that or how you're going to get all the manufacturing, especially anything that requires heat, is going to take a lot of energy and we really can only do it with fossil fuels. And I still don't see this amazing Tesla truck on the road that's supposedly going to replace the semis, the diesel semis. Have you seen one? Do they exist? Are they practical? Or are they just local delivery vehicles? Because there are some. But the range and the capacity, because the batteries you have to put in them are the way our roads are designed and the way the, I can't remember the right government agency that I'm just going to cite here, but. 80,000 pounds is the limit without getting special permits to try to drive upon the roads. And when you look at the weight of these Tesla trucks that claim they're going to do what they can't do, you're already reducing the capacity of them because the batteries are so massive and so heavy that it starts taking away the cargo capacity, the carrying weight of the semi. It's just massively Difficult and the only way this whole ruinables thing is going to work a grid scale to replace fossil fuels is if We have a major a quantum leap in energy storage technology That's the only way we can't even have a chance of making this whole renewables thing work That's it. You got no other options there and I can hear all the the Hydrogen wannabes yelling about hydrogen won't know you need to look into hydrogen a little bit more because you've been deceived by hydrogen as well Because the greenies will use that when we can do hydrogen we do green hydrogen Well, you got to generate the hydrogen somehow and that takes electricity or energy and how you gonna do that you're gonna do it with solar you can do with you could you can make some with solar and wind how you gonna store it how you gonna transport it people don't realize And then these cars that are hydrogen-powered cars, did you know that the tanks in these cars, you fill them up either depending on how kind of range you want? You fill them up with 5,000 PSI, the tanks, or 10,000 PSI. Can you say a bomb with wheels? I mean, seriously, get past that part and tell me hydrogen cars are good. 5,000 psi and 10,000 psi in a tank you're sitting on under behind whatever you're in about nearby What it's gonna happen that tank if you get a hard enough crash? Uh-huh, and then we don't have the charging station instead of cycles are enough a hygien also has this onion the uncanny capacity of losing its containment in other words The self doesn't want to stay contained and go basically it goes through anything. It doesn't stay within your container. It will see foul We haven't found material yet that it won't seep out. So you lose some just sitting in your garage or in the street or whatever. You're going to lose some even just sitting there. Just like you lose a certain amount of electricity with your batteries, with the battery losses, both charging. And you lose, I think it's been said, the last number that I remember seeing, you lose about 10% of the electricity in the grid before it even gets to your house. Line losses. Heat generating fat the transmission electricity generates heat and anything that's heat is wasted energy unless you somehow capture that and you can you've heard it go get go by those high-tension lines and it's crackles and snaps and just buzzing this energy being wasted escaping so the whole the whole rule of the Bulls thing is gonna be fraught with disaster and New York and Go figure if California doesn't do it, New York will right? They're gonna be the first to to bring in their greenie agenda and try to force us to the rest of the nation to do what their will and to try to force us into electric cars and all the things coming with that, we're going to see massive problems, massive problems. I may not live to see all the things that I was talking about because I'm getting up there in age, but basically we're going to watch Germany, watch California. California right now, if you don't know, I've got a few minutes left here, Michelle. California. Has at times because they've got a solar glut now Covering this on previous shows, California has reduced their incentives to put solar on their roofs By I don't know if this was this actually passed but it was proposed last year To have an eight dollar per kilowatt rated surcharge on the electric bill For new solar installations. In other words, if you're going to install a 1 kilowatt system on your on your roof, which would be about panels would be about maybe. 10 by 10 feet. I'm just making a rough guess there. Maybe 10 by 10 feet is about 1 kilowatt. So if you put a small array on your roof. They're going to charge you $8 per month per kilowatt. So that would be $80. I'm sorry for. No, that's right. That's the one kilowatt would be eight dollars. They charge you eight dollars for that just to be connected to the grid. Well, you produce any electricity or used any electricity, you're not. Eight dollars on your bill, regardless, per kilowatt. And the average system in America right now, they say is about five kilowatts. So about five times the size I said so. So you're talking about that's one way they're slowly starting to discourage because they realize what we can't keep doing this because we don't need any more solar because we're actually paying Arizona take our electricity at times That's right, California is paying Arizona to take their excess electricity When they generate too much again, they have no way of storing it that very little ways of storing list with that So they're giving it away. They're paying to give it away This is the future. Watch California folks. This is the future of ruinables. So they're trying to discourage new installations. They're going to, and if they do have one nuclear power plant in California, and they've extended it, because they wanted to shut it down, the greens, they weren't successful, but if they do away with that, that's going to be more natural gas or coal, or some other form of fuel that they're going to have to burn. And then there go your missions crybabies, missions crybabies about how it's polluting our environment and causing climate change and all this nonsense. You're looking at a serious issue here because you're not going to get it from renewables because you're only going to have power when it's sunny out. If it's wind, wind helps because wind can sometimes fill in gaps but not reliably. Your solar is only going to be 100% reliable if it's size large enough, if it's noon and it's sunny out. Because if you see a cloud passover, all of a sudden it drops and all the natural gas plants have to, the peaker plants they call, have to ramp up to catch up to meet the grid demand. And usually it's natural gas that they use what they call peaker plants because there's a certain level of electricity that's using all the time, it's called base load. You know, like three in the morning is kind of would be kind of like a base load idea. And then any time else is going up and down, up and down, up and down. You have to go beyond base level. And you really can't do that with nuclear easily. You can do it with coal a little easier. You can do it with hydroelectric pretty easily. And you can do it with natural gas pretty easily. But you can't do it with it when it's solar. When it's solar, they just keep adding to the problem sometimes. Sometimes they add to the problem. Sometimes they are beneficial. Sometimes, rarely. But sometimes they are. Before I go off the air here, I'm going to try. I'm going to see how it goes. If you want to go to my YouTube channel for BID TV, for BID Spell with 2D's, No Space TV, for BID TV, for BID TV, for BID TV, I'm probably, I'm gonna try and go online for a time and see how it goes. I did this a few weeks ago, a couple weeks ago, and it went okay. It was like, I think I had like 10 to 15 viewers at one time. It used to be better, but again, the YouTube doesn't promote my channel, doesn't like me much, so. I'm at the mercy of what YouTube decides to promote me or not. But I'm going to try to go on live here, give me about five minutes when I get off the air here to go live on YouTube. If you want to tune in, you can. And we'll talk about whatever. I was going to talk a little bit about COVID here because I can talk about COVID here on this channel, but I can't talk about COVID when I go on YouTube. So I didn't get to that, nobody else was talking about those things. So if you want to talk about this topic before on YouTube, then I'll answer questions. Why when you're here, probably about five minutes. So, I think that's a way of understanding the whole back part of the walk. And speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But 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 number you traded in your name You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children 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 fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? He says you are a swine He hit me with his rifle and he kicked me in the groin I begged and I pleaded all my manners were polite But six can hold me little Arvalite And it's down in the ball sight It's quite long to see Lying in the dark with the Provo company A concrete on the left and the right And a clip along in the ocean for me little Arvalite 600 pretty soldiers he had lined up on his feet. Goodness, but he hurt the army life, and that's where I long to see. Lying in the dark with the Pro Bowl company. Come read on me left and me right. I kept a-bondin' it for me, little army line.

The generals, they had told him, who'd got them on the run. But corporate- This is the evening. Intelligence report time are currently one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories. North, south, west, east. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. LibertyTreeRadio.org. And we're on satellite. I'll say hi to all our merchant marine operators out there. No matter where you are on every ocean of the planet and inland, we're on a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. And for everybody, it is a beautiful Clearing up a little bit, which means it'll probably get cold, but we got some really dynamic clouds to the south. So there's a storm hitting northern end of Ohio right now, even as we speak. It is Weapons Wednesday. It is the 3rd of May. It is the 15th year of open and in your face, Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K2023, Old Earth Caledars, 2023, Battle for the Republic, the Dance of Swords. Let the dance continue weapons Wednesday real quick though Steve MRE Steve MRE Steve MRE That's the channel on YouTube. The guy does field ration evaluations really good job He opens it up and he'll even eat it no matter how old it is sometimes At least to taste it if the things not fully compromised and doesn't look like And although some of the new food looks like mud and more than that a minute Most important here is, again, the latest video or the one that pops up that I needed, and you need to watch too. If you're looking or you have any questions about these humanitarian rations, there's an excellent video that he posted there. It looks like it's dated 2021. I could be wrong. Well, maybe it's just 2021 rations, maybe the date. Either way, it's new and it's pertinent because The ration that's in the video is the one that's available through Sportsman's Guide dot com and also through Apex Gun Parts dot com. Now Apex, you wouldn't expect that maybe, but it's there. The big thing is, again, the price is right for both of them. It gives you an explanation of why I said, again, it's more than enough food for what you need. Most important is if you throw a meat pack on top of it, we're even better off. Tell you what, do we have a caller? I hear a lot of noise in the background. Who do we have? Mark John here. I don't know. There we go. Probably my cell phone. Yeah. Yeah. I'll hop off. That's okay. I posted that link that the other caller at first hour mentioned Odyssey on the COVID-19. I'm pretty sure that's it. I put that in gilded. And then the only thing I wanted to say is would you thank Ed and I'm sure he's listening for putting Don on for half hour spots every now and then. He could fill that music hour in with Don and I wouldn't be happy. No, I'd be elated. I missed listening to him and his talking and whatnot. So, yes, definitely. Thank you. Absolutely. I'll see what we can do. In fact, we have, of course, a number of other things that we did with Don when we were traveling, too, that we could actually post and use for any one-hour block. for Liberty Tree Radio, so we'll see what we can do there. Yeah, appreciate it. Okay, I'll hop off and take care. No, thank you. And thank you for the update. Thanks for doing that because again, everybody helps. Everybody helps, trust me. Guys, we can't do enough fast enough with the way things are going. One of the real important things here with regard to the rations is the price is great for what it is. You're getting more than one main meal course. You only get, I think, one set of crackers, which is not a big deal. In general, you got more of some, you got average of others, but it is worth the money for what it is, okay? And if you add a meat pack like these 89 cent meat packs I just told you about during the two hour block that they have over at Menards, they may not have them for very long because apparently it's a closeout item. They have chicken. 2.6, 2.7 ounce, I got to double check that. Maybe even 2.5, forgive me, I might be wrong. But anyway, they're 89 cents a piece with the 11th percent discount and there's no tax on that kind of food in Michigan. Food in general, forgive me. So, you throw a pack like that in with these meals, and in fact I just take the meat and throw it right in with the bean entrees, the primary course. You could do the, like I was joking, beans and weenies. You could use Vienna sausages or a can of Vienna sausages and mix it in with everything. You can get it in the small, short, not so much of Vienna sausages, but chopped up Vienna sausage. That'll work fine. You got pulled pork, you've got all kinds of stuff you can pull off the shelf from either can or retort pouches and that would add a meat item if you wanted to actually add more protein to the mix. But for what they are, they're worthwhile and again, pretty straightforward across the board but the video helps you to envision. I can talk about it on the radio but you can see it on the video. So again, that is over at Steve MRE. channel on YouTube and the humanitarian video is in there, humanitarian ration video is in there and it's especially pertinent because you will find those out there where most of the other MREs are not and if they are, prices are kind of high for those right now as opposed to the humanitarian rations where you get a whole day's ration in one pouch, whole day's calories I should say in one pouch. Of course, we're working our butts off more in the field. You're going to need more calories in general. So again, I would still enhance. That's considered a minimalist package that they have there, which I understand because we're trying to feed the masses. And what's out there? I don't know what the quantity is, but I do know that you can get a palate price at apexgunparts.com. OK? Another thing about this, and again, it's posted, John posted on our channel for us here, actually over on the Gilded Scrolls. So if you get a chance, Odyssey on COVID. And the big thing here, again, they're trying to regurgitate the flu season now, and the flu season has been nothing for us here. Their logic within within the P brains the sycophants and the cross-dressing poof does like we have the cross-dressing Male trying to be a female that we have for governor if that's a man. Okay, it's a man and Well, the problem we got is that the twisted brains think that they can go on control freak Lala expedition again here and No, everybody's done with that All I'm waiting for is you're going to hear the sharp barking noise down the street where someone's just going to start putting bullets on them and nothing we can do to stop that. We just need to be ready for it when it happens and make sure that things are taken care of when the time comes in that you're going to protect yourself. The police state regime is going to hiccup in the process. and then things will escalate. Well, you're not on the keeper list, so you better be ready to deal with the communists, the Antifa types, the BLM types, secret police that are occultists, pedos, whatever. All the ones in uniform that are out there, they're gonna side with the dog and pony show. Well, they're gonna be fighting you. You better be ready to fight them. So, it's, and again, it's Weapons Wednesday. I will point out High Point has this new carbine. of people have generated videos on it already so I can't really describe anything special or new because it's a high point carbine in just a different caliber. But it is in a new caliber that might be useful for some of you if you have this new 30 caliber defense round that they're talking about that they've chambered the new high point carbine in. That's the new that's the newness of it. Purely the chambering 10-shot magazine standard high point config configuration and the only thing I can say is I don't know if there's any significant change in felt recoil or anything because while it might be a 30 caliber you can beef up especially stretching out a 30 caliber slash 32 ACP round quite a bit. So just because it's a little smaller or sound smaller doesn't mean it doesn't have energy. It's kind of like again, probably way above the 32 ACP and just a little below or hair below the 30 carbine round. Back in the, you might crawl back in the late 70s and 80s, the AMT produced a bunch of different pistols and one of the guns that was produced and it's their competitors did also was a 30 caliber carbine automag pistol. Beautiful gun, couple of our guys have carried that weapon with carrying M1 carbine as their rifle. They carried that pistol as their primary handgun. and they're a work of art, they're a beautiful weapon. So I have not seen the defense guns that are chambered in this new round. Haven't had time to look at it yet. I know they're out there already. I will repeat again also, it's Weapons Wednesday. If you want more of that ammo or if you want that ammunition to continue to be manufactured and you guys are serious about that round, buy it off the shelf. Buy it out. Buy it out so that the company, the store sells out. That sends a message to the store that they probably need to restock if they can and hopefully they can and number two it sends a message all the way through the supply chain to the manufacturer because If that round disappears across the board off the shelf They're going to want to not just produce what they did before but increase production Because the cost in manufacturing is set up When you're doing ammunition or if you're doing books, whatever it is, if it's a manufactured item, it's when you switch from one size of something to another that costs you the most in labor time. After that, your operating time is the same no matter what you produce, no matter what ammunition you have. Anyway, take the time and... Now just take a look at the the situation you're not going to be Too happy if you run dry and can't replace the ammunition for the weapon you've chosen So you have to sculpt the market yourself? Once they have it set up rather than just doing the production they did before Chances are they'll increase maybe twofold and that in turn is going to provide you with a better solution for supply and support which you really need if you like the gun And a new idea, it's an old idea, but a new idea. I think where they got the idea was the 32 French long slash read that whatever combination. And it's cool. This is modern age. It's not a big deal to actually create a new chambering. The big thing is to try and get it into the market and keep it in the market. An example of a really neat idea that, you know, if for the longest time it stuck around, but now harder than chicken's teeth. 41 Magnum, beautiful round. 41 Magnum, knock your butt down every time. If you put a bullet on somebody with that, they're probably going to stay down. But, and for the longest time, Smith and Wesson and even Ruger made some 41 Magnum revolvers. But, it progressively in favor of just 3-5-7 Magnum or, you know, 44 Magnum, like 16 gauge, it kind of just faded off into the shadows. Now if you run into the gun you'll find it's just you typically factory very high quality made and frames Smith and Wesson Magnum and You'll find a number of barrel links. Okay, if it's in the Ruger line, typically it's in the Ruger Blackhawk where you'll find the 41 mag I don't think any Red Hawks were ever made in 41 Magnum, but they know that the Blackhawks were and they are a very fine firearm, wouldn't hesitate to carry it, wouldn't have a problem shooting it. So again, if you have an inventory, that's another gun where it's an example of, well, if you didn't keep buying the ammo and you got to keep promoting the ammo, then the ammunition is not going to be there when you want it, when you need it. And the other consideration is also with this new caliber is I want to compare it to see what else it does match up to as one of our callers mentioned. Well, it might be pretty close to 30 carbine. Well, here's another thing. If it's close to 30 carbine, it might actually, or depending on dimension, and who knows, maybe they did base it on a 5.56 case. The first thing I always look at is cheapest for the mostest. Look at the specs, try to find a spec sheet for this new pistol round. Look to see what the base of the case dimensions are, and if they're the same, or if they're different from the base dimension for the 5.56 rifle round. Interestingly enough, since it's a straight case, it might be a solution for additional brass and thinking ahead when maybe you can't get it. Because you can always cut down a rifle case, especially something that's already damaged. You don't cut a good rifle case down and it can be used for the rifle. You use the battle damage stuff for the worn out brass for your pistol, you know, cut down pistol solutions and reloading. Anyway, I give you this, not just complaining about the problems now. Another thing here, there's also some other revolvers showing up over at, since I mentioned revolvers, over at CenterFireSystems.com. I had some questions about that. Some of those I have kind of seen before, but again, this is a hodgepodge. I don't know if they got them from Canada. It looks to me by the mix of guns and revolvers that it's a Central or South American police pickup or something like that or police issue. A lot of departments were using tauruses. There's a bunch of used tauruses that are, I don't look like they're high mileage, but it could be from any number of locations. However, I lean towards South America with it. One of the interesting things is a bunch of other guns we haven't seen for a while are in that collection, including the, what is it, the RG, I don't know if any of them are left, but there were some RG or RGI Sherman revolvers. More complicated than an American revolver for whatever reason. The nature of how they designed the gun in more modular components, a larger number of components to put the frame together, for instance. They are serviceable firearms, but some of the prices they're asking for some of those guns to me seem a little high. You're going to have to make a judgment call there. I will remind you that you still can shop around and find a few other reasonable buys like a JG sales. But Centerfire has added to that revolver collection. Another thing, if you have parts guns that you want to finish up. Or maybe you have a frame or something you inherited from Uncle Bob or Fred or maybe your dad or grandpa. If you go over to Center for our systems, they also have a massive number of revolver kits. What's a revolver kit? Well, the frame's been destroyed. They took the frame, stripped all the parts of it, every part they could. And then obviously they were told they had to destroy the frame. Again, if you have any of these older firearms where you've been having a tough time finding parts, these parts inventory, these parts kits are as little as $50, $59 a piece to as high as a couple hundred dollars. However, I would point out the ones that are priced here are also the more exotic Smith and Wesson's. So again, you can find a pretty reasonable spare parts set with, you know, everything, everything there except the frame. Now some cases barrels in some cases not as I told you before that's not an accident Remember they're trying to destroy all the barrels that they can so that's the only other downside, but if you have for instance Sight parts missing and you need and you've got the gun anyway buying the whole kit is worth it because spare parts are spare parts All the springs are there for the gun and that's the end of itself is priceless Quality of the guns are up and down as far as finish But wearing care seems to be pretty you know consistent, you know external carry wear Internally, they look very crisp with the pictures. I've seen so far. I'm pretty good detail you blow them up you can expand the image and So in there again, you have to catch this catch can see if there's something that makes sense for you where you need to replace something or you have maybe just a frame and If you have the frame everything else is sitting there to put that gun together If you do need additional barrels, I will remind you that apexgunparts.com, apexgunparts.com, apexgunparts.com has a number of barrels available, specifically in handguns, especially for revolvers, by the way, and so does gunpartscorp.com, gunpartscorp.com, gunpartscorp.com. Okay, so both of those are solutions, and of course, SARCO is another one. The other thing that they do have is the loose mixed bags of ammunition. There's some other stuff that came in. I did not look closely at that, but if you go over to Centerfire while you're there, you might want to check that out and scroll through the ammunition and look to see what kind of bag and bundle or case deals that they have. I don't know if they're listing them as case or, you know, because they're coming in bags. They're just mixed bags of. Haven't seen that for a while. Again, it looks like poles. from stuff that was either, you know, departmental and they just threw everything into the, you know, into the mix, you know, into bins and they bought it that way or it's stuff that was picked up from, you know, confiscation, law enforcement, whatever, and they just tossed it to the bin that way. But it's a lot of 40 Smith and Wesson and there was some 9 millimeter, but I don't know how long that lasted because they had a pretty good price on the 9. And there may be some rifle in there too. So it'll all be one caliber, I would assume, but just soft point, hollow point, and ball. So, or lead, I should say, lead or jacket, lead or FMJ. So it can be any one of the four. Another thing on center fire. Also, a lot of other surplus items added to numerous dimension. Your best bet is to go through the scroll, look to see what's there. We're at the bottom of the hour just about or close enough that I'm going to do this. It's Weapons Wednesday. And on Weapons Wednesday, we have a specific bottom of the hour brief that has been with us. For everybody out there listening, we'll reach you at 4mg.com. We're bringing you to Radio South for a few hours. In our hands we'll prove no trifle You may ride a good lead speed You may know a stern a master You forward march with speed But you'll learn the back much faster When you meet our mountain boys And their leader just a start Glad you make what little noise And always hit the mark Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands we'll prove no trifle I need no graves at home, back across the dried water And pity must come, as well as to the slaughter But this way the job must do, and the sooner it is begun If Clinton figure hold the bus through, the quicker it will be done Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands we'll prove no to rifle Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands we'll prove no to rifle Your mind is your first best weapon protected with physical arms. In Congress, July 4th, 1776. Again, it is Weapons Wednesday. I will remind you all too that if you are setting up combat loads and are putting Minuteman equipment on standby, it's a good idea to rotate your magazines if you're keeping them loaded. We have talked about this forever. We cure the debate constantly from one end to the other. Yes, I know I've found many 45 ACP magazines that were loaded with World War I veterans who brought stuff back and we in the 70s and 80s, the magazines would, you could shuck the rounds out of them just like they were loaded yesterday. Better quality steel in many cases. So contrary to what people might think, the age of steel and iron It's still we work it today, but the quality is was different. So the problem we've got is Subcontractors and you don't know what day something was made on So the typical policy that we've had for a long time is if you have so many reserved bags The some people do 50% of their mags it depends on how many you own But one complete combat loadout of loaded mags can be ready to go every month dump all the rounds, clean up the mags, go over everything, take the other half of your mags, load them up, put them into your combat kit, let them sit for a month, do it again. In the meantime, if something happens, well, don't worry about dumping the mags, you'll be burning them out as quickly as you can, quicker than you can imagine, and or that you should. Again, slow down, watch that trigger finger. Remember, calm down, focus, hits count, misses don't. Aim low, go slow. So for everybody again, magazine rotation is especially critical. And by the way, also for those of you who are carrying, I know we get lazy. It's the only way to describe it. You have a regimen, you're carrying a magazine. There are a couple of other reasons for changing out mags. This is one of the most common. A lot of you, myself, everybody has carried brass, K-Samo. If you carry it in the shoulder holster, it's in a tropical rainforest, you know, under your, just under your armpit, okay? And no matter what, body salts, body oils, and moisture are right there, period, no matter how hard you try it. The biggest problem you've got is, you know, revolvers or automatics is those brass cases will oxidize, they will start to turn. And it'll vary because water follows the path of least resistance, but it follows unique paths. And so one round may look pretty good. And the other round right next to it will turn green as swamp water. I have seen revolvers, as I've said many times, where, you know, well, I'll show you my gun. And they pull the revolver out. They open the cylinder and they try to extract the cases. And they're green. There's green sludge, you know oxidation is built up between the cylinder walls and the round itself And it's like trying to extract mud, you know rounds packed with mud Coming out of the cylinder shouldn't happen that way but it happens The big thing here again is to inspect your weapons and I would say this also is a recommendation There is nickel-case ammunition out there and if you're gonna carry First up ammo in a weapon one of the first things that I would look at doing is purchasing nickel cased ammunition Interestingly enough. It's the Turks that are bringing a bunch of that stuff in right now. You can go to Apex No Forgive me aim surplus calm and they have 9 millimeter parabellum. It is steel case but nickel plated that makes it slick side and the nickel plating reduces the possibility of oxidation with the ammunition, with the brass. But to prevent that, you rotate and you wipe down your ammunition, inspect the ammunition. Also remember, if you carry stuff for a period of time, you might as well just shoot it. You're gonna use it anyway. You're gonna go to the range at a certain point. You should plan on the idea that you're carrying in the magazines should be cycled out. It served its purpose. You are going to need training ammo. You need to shoot on occasion to refresh and again, accentuate muscle memory performance. So rotate the ammunition out that way and introduce new fresh ammunition from your inventory into your carry mags. The one most important is the one that's in your weapon. The ones that are on your belt, wherever else you're carrying them or however you got them stored, typically they survive better. Now, it doesn't mean that if you're not careful, you've been out in the rain like we've had moisture for four or five days here. Carrying stuff in your equipment, if you don't take it out, wipe it down, you're going to end up with rust and you're going to see oxidation on the brass. Now, sometimes just the top two or three because they're exposed most heavily and moisture permeates only so far and then there's absorption or evaporation. Sometimes though, if you were totally immersed or if you get soaking wet, hey, I don't know how far the water is going to go, but it will affect the materials that you're using. And even if you have a plastic Glock mag, you still have a metal follower, or forgive me, a metal spring. In fact, it may not stop the operation of the spring, but there's weird things about metals. If you have a weak point in something that was produced, where the quality is not the same, where for some reason there is a difference in the final formula for the metal, let's say the spring rod that is used to create the material that makes the spring, your follower's spring. Most of it's virtually identical, but there's maybe a quarter of an inch or an area that is a flawed or mildly flawed, okay, not as well-tempered or whatever. It's not that that's gonna compress and not work. What can happen though is oxidation and eventually it will break. It will literally eat through, maybe just in that one spot. Now this is where general maintenance on your magazines, which is tedious, is something still that should be done. Much like you run a patch down the barrel of a weapon and you should also be doing your magazine well in your weapon too, which people don't usually think about, but that's an access point for dirt and for moisture. Well then with the magazines you drop the ammo obviously, pull the floor plate, pull out the follower in the spring, clean out the inside of the channel of the magazine itself, the inner channel of the magazine. wipe down the follower, inspect the follower. The area that's most likely to rust first is where your magazine spraying makes contact with the follower. Sounds weird, but it's just how it works. And then also, again, like I said, if you had a coarse point or not as well finished or not properly finished, because usually it has a bluing. Sometimes a phosphate finish of some other kind, but it's not perfect. And that's another point where the metal is not as well protected, so it will oxidize. And that's usually where at first it will erode, and you can physically see it. It's like any other thing that rusts. But at a given point, it will give, because the elastic the resilient component of the tempering has literally been eaten away with the way that the metal structure, even though it's a tiny, tiny little piece of wire, there's a whole lot of science going on with that. So we need to avoid that because you spent money for the thing. Okay, let's try to get the money to stretch as far as we can. Plus, we also need every magazine serviceable for what's coming and you need to be maintaining them. Now again, a light coat, a very light coat of lubricant. won't hurt to put on a magazine follower, but first wipe it down, clean it up, inspect it, and then if you're satisfied with the spring, you take a very, very light coat of lubricant, whatever type you're using, and touch the spring from top to bottom, all the way through that little squiggly, squiggly, squiggly line of metal you got there. Reassemble after you've again double-checked the channel for the follower insert the follower insert the spring Compress it put the base on and needless to say clean the base off all parts of the magazine Need to be cleaned. I know it's tedious even takes a lot longer than what I just described to actually do what you need to do Now here again, the advantage is you do this when you change out magazines and it's not a big deal. Where you get the mags out, you've already inserted the new mags, you already did maintenance and cleaning on, everything's happy, you've got everything back in the mag pouches, you've got everything back in your, you know, in the shoulder holster rig, whatever you're doing. And then you get on to step two, which is now doing full maintenance and inspection on the magazines that you pulled out of service. You should also do this with any used mags that you get from any supply. I don't care what it is. There are new mags even. Remember the Polish AK mags we had here about a year ago? They're still out there, by the way. And in fact, they still have the Turkish AK mags. for what, $3 a piece or whatever it is, $4 a piece over at CenterFireSystems.com. So if you need more dump mags, they're still there, okay? And they're reasonably priced. I wish they would do some AR-15 models like that that are nothing fancy at all. I did, we did pick up some, remember all of you did. About a year and a half ago, there was a couple of deals kinda like that. Well, If it's brand new, like the Polish mags, it turned out that the reason that they dumped them on the market as surplus, because there was an issue, something wasn't right with them. Well, it turns out that the magazine spring was proprietary. And I don't know if anybody told anybody or if the design was, you know, a mistake. They weren't supposed to do it. But the magazines of those Polish mags that were out there, they are still floating around. If you have any problems with them all, disassemble them, take the follower spring out, take the follower out, put the follower back in, flip the spring the other way, put the spring back in, the magazine will work every time. Now that means it's a proprietary direction for the magazine for insertion and the magazine spring, but it shouldn't be that way. Most magazine springs built for pretty much every modern firearm are actually flippable. You would made it, which way will you insert them? The biggest thing is if there is a taper, the taper obviously the shallow end should be towards the front, towards the tip of the ammunition, front of the magazine, okay? But that's easy to figure out. And typically no matter how you try to turn, it should pretty well end up where it's supposed to. But again, the Polish mags were wiped from the factory. And 99% were put together the way they're supposed to. But there was that one, two, or three odd ones, sometimes side by side in the case, that weren't. They weren't right and not right and they wouldn't ever function It's just they it was they were having glitches with them Which is very very common with an AK mag a very unforgiving uncommon with an AK mag And so what they did is everybody experimented we found out the spring is proprietary for a location So mark it with some fingernail polish. I love fingernail polish gives you another coat of paint Doesn't hurt anything and helps to mark stuff So, you know, prior to proper planning prevents piss poor performance. You'll have an idea because you remember how you put your stuff together and how you marked it. You can even make notes in your rifle, in your rifle maintenance manual to make sure you do remember what you did. It probably doesn't hurt anyway because you won't remember everything forever. Eventually you get cluttered with all kinds of extra goodies to do and well, you forget about some things. Or you have to have your memory jog. That's what the notes are for, son. Dad, why didn't you remember it? That's what the book was for. Remember Indiana Jones? Dad and son? Why didn't you remember it? I wrote it down in the book so I wouldn't have to. Anyway, let's see. Other things real quick. Also, our H Enterprises was mentioned to me The other day, thank you guys. And I'm gonna have to go through their page, but there's a few things that they're also looking for, I guess right now, not also they have. People say they've been doing surplus for quite some time. And if you get a chance, give them a holler. And GRH Enterprise Enterprises. I think I said that's not the end of that. I could, oh, it's been a little while. But anyway, for tactical gear, gas masks and other equipment, they're available. But they also do carry web gear, tactical support gear that you need. And you have to look to see, they have connections. Everybody has their niche. Everybody has an area of interest, or they should say, you know, that speciality, that thing that they can find nobody else can. So it's a good idea when you find out about another location to go check it out. In many cases, they have things that nobody else has because nobody else thought to look for them and they had them, grabbed them years ago, piled them up and they may still be sitting on the same treasure trove. This is true of a bunch of different companies. If you look at their inventories, you kind of wonder, how the hell could you sell that for like 30 years? It's because they had puddles full of them. That's the thing with Sarco. Sarco had some of the things that Sarco bought. Guys, they have storage. They use the old mining tunnels for storage. Where they in their neck of the woods. They have stuff under literally underground like wine sellers. So you always joke about it, but it's just the way it is. And also massive warehouses and some of the stuff they bought it when it was pennies. They bought every last one they could find and they're still selling them to this day. But not for the pennies they were before. They go out that one. Now also Yes, a reminder again, somebody asked, did you say on the air? Hold on, let me read what this said here. Did you say on the air that you could make a 762 by 25 Tokarev out of 556 cases? Yes. Yes, you can. And as a matter of fact, again, if you're going to do that resize work, you can use a regular die, regular steel dies, but carbide would be your best choice. Anytime you're doing extreme resizing, or dramatic re-sholdering of a case. The carbide dyes are going to take the pressure and the heat and will keep ticking for, oh, about 10 times as long as a regular set of dyes for that kind of hard work. Now, I would point out that if you're going to try to make 7.62 by 25 cases out of 5.56 cases. Remember, as I mentioned in the 2R block, the rifle and pistol cases, the walls of the case get thicker as you move from the top to the bottom of the case towards the primer pocket. There's a reason, it's the nature of how brass is built and the nature of the fire chamber inside the case and what it's supposed to do. And again, all the intricacies of around firing and then being ejected while the blast is still in the tube. Remember that because during the ejection process, depending on the weapon, the projectile, theoretically the first one that was just fired is still in the tube. The base of the case is typically thicker for that reason, but it tapers. This also, needless to say, directs the primer expansion into a very narrow venturi internally that directs it to make proper burn and uniform burn and contact with the propellant charge inside. With 760 by 25, if you're going to build a lot of it, and in fact, no matter what, I would just do this. Go get yourself an O-Press. Now, Lee makes it, likes makes O-presses. They're not as tough as some of the others because of the material they make the dies out of, but they're still stronger. The C-Press is good for utility work where you have like 9 millimeter, 38 special, straight case, something you've shot and shot and shot and shot and shot and shot. But the old press is much stronger. Now to be quite honest, one of your better choices, although there are others out there, the RCBS Rock Chucker. If you're looking for a build press for reshaping and making significant changes in a dissimilar case, The RCBS Rock Chucker, which by the way, they've got a couple of commemorative or anniversary kits out there that are pretty cheap. It's an old press. When it first came out, it was the go-to press and the person that I still think it is. For a lot of your, it's a single stage press. You can only do one thing at a time, but that's what you need for what you're going to be doing here. You don't need the Turreted Press because you're not doing reload production. you're doing building, you're build production, you're going to make a case that still is going to have to have finished work done to it. When you reshape it, you're still going to have to ream the inner throat of the case. So you're building a case, not from scratch, but you're building a case. And that's where you need a heavier tool to get the job done. Now, there are some older herders Built like a brick doghouse presses, I have two. I haven't been able to find any more and nobody wants to come off them. If they do, they die. It's because the person dies, okay? But the old Herder's presses are twice and three times the size and weight of a Rock Checker. So if the Rock Checker is good, if you run into any of the older Herder's O-presses, they're better still. And they were made old Earth American tooling. So they were in fact, many of them probably Virgin iron, Virgin steel, because they were built, you know, here in Michigan, they were built in Ohio or forgive me now, not Ohio, they were built in Pennsylvania. And they also built them over in Wisconsin, depending on the, on the Forge and the company steel company doing the work. Herters does a lot of subcontracting or they buy product lines off of somebody else and put a box on it. put their name on the box and congratulations its herders. The thing about 760 by 25 is that you can use lead you don't have to go with an FMJ but remember it is a hot round and with lead you are going to see some interesting things happen in flight if you constantly do that. So a little trick with lead as I've told you many times if I was doing a 90 or a 92 or 93 grain projectile for the 7.62x25 copper wash. I would copper plate the lead if I was going to do lead. Now what does that do? It eradicates the hyper heat collection, calorie collection that takes place with a high velocity round, which the 7.62x25 is a high velocity pistol round. The copper jacket will deal with most of the friction issues with the air. and still offer a reasonably frangible bullet when it gets to target. In other words, it's gonna actually allow for a little more for the bullet to distort more, which means you distribute more energy against the target rather than passing through the target. Depends on what you want to do. Now there are 7.62x25 projectiles out there. There's a couple different companies. And by the way, I think Herters is one of them that is still offering the bullets, just the bullets. We're not talking the loaded cases, but just the bullets. And again, it'll be ball ammo, which is really what you want if you can find it. There are a number of other tricks that can be done. There are a couple of different semi-conical bullets that are on the market through Spear that would also work very well in the 760 by 25 pistol load, which still load of the magazines, would still operate exactly as intended with the Tokarev or with the CZ-52, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And by the way, don't forget, If you've got one of those peppy-ish pistols, they're not rifles, they're all pistols. They've made them so that the stocks are not functional on them. The folding stock is there, but it's welded in place, if you haven't noticed, on the peppy-ish 43s. Those pistols would delight if you were to build a hot 7.62x25 load for the gun. They would function flawlessly. So one of the considerations is if you have that pepeche pistol, a 41 or a 43, then you can, well in the 41, Zolatos, R rifles, forgive me, because those are wooden stock bottles. But either way, the hotter round could be built for the carbine or the heavy pistol, and they would work very, very well. And they can handle the energy, trust me. The other thing about the 7.6 Q by 25 I've always thought would be fun. Hey, just fun things to do is it would make a neat little single shot top break using an H&R shotgun receiver round. It would be a great round for anti-personnel but also for game getting. There's a couple of things that can be done with the 7.6 Q by 25. If you're going to go rifle, you're going to put it into a single shot. action, you can go with a spire tip bullet. It is a mean little monster that can be loaded up, especially using a rifle case as the foundation for building that particular cartridge. Now again, that round would not go into a pistol, it would not go into like the Tokarev or the CZ-52. Though the CZ-52 could probably handle an upgraded chain ring because it is very differently built from the Tokarev. And it was designed to handle hot rounds. But SpirePoint, Spitzer, Sierra Boat Tail, either would work. And the round itself, there are a number of other powders. H110 is a very desirable powder, a kind of universal powder now. That could be used for loading 7.62 by 25. And there's a number of other hotter pistol powders. And of course you can do also a I don't know about a Magnum primer, but it should be able to handle it. I mean, seriously, you know, it would be a neat little short stroke rifle route for a bolt gun. I know it's stupid though. Well, Mark, we have all this stuff. I know, I know. But we used to experiment with a lot of stuff like this and Remington did make a couple of little shorter stroke rifle, bolt action rifles that were just fun to shoot, but fast to shoot. and no felt recoil because they're all in smaller, you know, smaller varmint calibers. So this again is 7.62x25 that we're talking about. A short assault rifle cartridge. No, I mean a tapered pistol cartridge. Yeah, right. By the way, it's not an assault rifle because, well, doesn't have select fire and all the other fun things, especially the bolt gun or a top break. Now, another thing about that, there are a number of knockoff. You know, I mentioned these H&R type top break single shot shotguns, which of course they then made the rifles. Well, Rossi actually made a few of the variants on this. Rossi also made a really nice coach gun too, a shotgun double barrel side by side. I don't know if it's still in production. I've seen a lot of references to it over the years, but several different companies made these top break rifles, some of them in the traditional survival rifle like 22 Hornet. Remember, the Air Force issued a lot of these unique calibers with survival weapons that were built for the donut of destruction, mostly to the middle of the Cold War. 22 Hornet has been very, very popular for that reason because some of the survival rifles were built, put out there on the market. They also, because of this, back in the day, said 1970s to the 80s, there were a number of 22 Hornet, 22 Spitzer, Let's see, what was the other one? Well, 22-250, but that's actually a fairly large cartridge. But these were more pistol-based cases, tapered down to a much smaller caliber, including 17 caliber with one or two, and they were very successful. They were, in fact, powerhouses in their day. It was the go-to cartridge. So, you may run into these. Again, is there ammunition available? Yes, there is actually. I was surprised. The big problem is that it's a very limited selection because they're on the other end of the spectrum, long in the tooth. But yes, there's still ammunition for pretty much all of those. And by the way, I will remind you, AIMSurplus.com, AIMSurplus.com, for instance, 22 Hornet. Well, PPU makes it, the preview part is on, and the .22 Hornet they offer is cheaper than everybody else by half. In fact, their .22 Hornet is the same price basically as their .357 Magnum or .38 Special Plus P. So if you've got a gun like that, like one of the XP 100s or whatever, there's a place to go. Fireball. What was it? .221 Fireball. That's another one I was trying to rattle at. That's one that used to be everywhere. And it was very popular, the XP 100 rifles. There's the 221, the 223. There was a 235 that came and went. Most of those were semi-wildcat. They were built. Wildcatters came up with them. They're all variations on the standard fireball round. And probably by the same author, okay, as a matter of fact. If you run into those exotics, the biggest problem is that you again are going to have to take some kind of base case. And this is the bad part. I know we're at the top here. Give me a second. And one of the biggest problems with some of the weapons that are out there that were built during the window of time that you're running into a grandpa or somebody is passing away and you're going to an estate sale. The rounds were available at the time, but even those specialized wildcat rounds were talking about were based on something was popular then, but now is hard to get. So the problem is that the brass that you need to make the case for that rifle is not unobtainium but pricey. Okay? So that's the balancing act here. If you run into them and you have them, at the very least try to acquire a couple hundred rounds of ammunition for each of those weapons. The XP 100 was a pistol that basically is a Remington target rifle cut down to pistol form with a rifle scope on it. A lot of you guys know we used them for deer hunting here in Michigan when silhouette deer hunting was the big deal still is, but when it first came out, that was one of the first guns that came into play for the handgun deer season. Black Hawks, Smith & Wesson, model with 29s, everything you can imagine with the scope that you can put a scope on had a scope put on it. But the XP was built purely for that purpose. Again, if you run into it, that is an excellent little anti-personnel piece of equipment that has incredible accuracy in the hands of a shooter who is patient, who will learn to use the weapon. We're at the top. We got to get out of the way and thank you for giving me a few moments there. For all of you out there guys, it's going to be a pretty busy week. Let's pay attention to Lansing. We're probably going to hear about something with paperwork.
