Go on drug Pradesh, but mom could have been from MIFA. That's right after all there are a lot of people in the air walk in through the mist with a flint 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 said We fought a revolution to secure our Liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny
For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land 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. You've taken a number and 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 freedom for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children?
to live in fear and be a slave. O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God-given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame.
For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch in tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave the land of the member your training and you will come back alive Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. This is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report
I'm Mark Kornke. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters on and behind the lines in occupied territories West, Southeast, Northeast, North. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com LibertyTreeRadio.org and we're on satellite. Say hi to all our merchant raid operators out there.
Ocean on the planet or a whole sort of myriad of other communications technologies both inside and outside these United States. It is Thursday. It is the 25th of May. It is the 15th year of open and in your face Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a 2023 old earth calendar 2023 battle for the Republic and the dance of swords. The dance continues.
And it will. Now a couple of things here real quick. Again, medical, medical, medical, if all else fails, and in fact still source constantly for material, shopmedvet.com. Shopmedvet.com. Shopmedvet.com. Go through there. Remember the case prices for the lesser, we'll say no name brand, but whatever.
in terms of gauze, rolls, dressings, 4x4s, 2x2s, abdominal pads, abdominal dressing. Those are actually the larger dressings, which will work for everything. We've talked about these on the air. I recommend all of them. Go look to see what it is that's going to make sense for your wallet, but you can cherry pick from there, and the shipping is incredibly cheap.
ShopMedVet.com. Go check them out. You'll see what I'm talking about. You need take time. Sit down and peruse their page to see what they have. Also, again, the 11th of June is when all of the biotics will be pulled, no longer can be sold publicly.
for veterinary care, so ivermectin, penicillin, G, all of the other, uh, silyn type antibiotics will all be gone. If you have an animal, there are animals you're taking care of, you may have never had to do it before, but you probably need it sometime down the road, pteromyosin. In the tube form, it's a red, a, forgive me, white and yellow tube, the size of a Blistex tube, a larger Blistex tube.
It's in the same size box, but it's white and yellow. You will find it at tractor supply and you will find it at Farm and Fleet and others of similar design and typically also at any good feed bell store. Used to be you get the solvadine or the silver nitrate. That's just not available. We can make it and it's something that we would say prioritize on next anyway. One of the many things you need in the toolbox. But it's an ophthalmolic cream.
It is especially useful with kittens when they get the little eye infections or puppies, but it works with all livestock. Follow instructions, do not overdose because you don't want to use up the material. It costs $28.50 for that stupid little tube, which is the size of a Blistex tube, you know, metal tube. Same container, just colors. The only thing is color change. As far as everything about it, you'll recognize it.
Another thing, as we pointed out, the parallel priority top would be ivermectin and doxycycline. Any of the other Penicillin G products are parallel, but next in line site likes a second tier, if you're going to be buying some of. Shelf stable preferred, buy refrigerated last, but if you do buy refrigerated, get serious and look at the idea of maintaining a small, minimal maintenance refrigeration system, maybe just for your medical.
As a matter of fact, you can get 12-volt cooler box refrigeration systems, and for the purpose of what we're talking about, that would work with the 12-volt battery system and a solar panel.
to do nothing but operate and maintain a small refrigeration unit. Now, I don't know what the lifespan on those things are with constant use for a tiny top like that, but these are little cooler chests. You've seen them. Maybe some of them are so small they only handle about a six pack of beer or a six pack of pop. They're designed to go in a car and be used as a mobile cooler. Now, that would be an option. It would be an interesting experiment to see how long one of those lasts.
We don't know what its constant service ceiling is in terms of hours of operation. It would be worth checking out. And it would be a valuable bit of information. So anyway, again, medical support, medical support, medical support. If you have a refill on medication where you do need certain medications that are definitely a must, then I would do at least a refill if you can right now and get up to speed.
That way you have at least a little bit of an edge. Later on, we'll be trading and bartering and exchanging accordingly to get what you need. That's something we'll do. We're not going to be having to shoot our way in or out. People will be dealing. Commerce will continue, but it will be limited and very narrow, especially if things go to hell in a hand cart fast enough. So anyway, again, medical, medical, medical, deal with that.
Gas masks bud k.com bud k.com Keep shooting calm not as cheap, but keep shooting calm has a few items Also our friend that sent the adapter from 40 millimeter up to 60 millimeter Again, thank you for sending that I would assume that was probably it was either 3d predator. He had a mold
The product seems to hold up pretty well. We're testing it right now again. I just gave a piece of equipment to somebody because this weekend they're going to be doing some specific training in the field. We got a chance to test the seal on this thing. They work. What this means is that you can take and use
with a 40 millimeter adapter, you can use, it's a 40 millimeter adapter to 60 millimeter. Now we have them the other way around too, where they go 60 millimeter down to 40, which was very common for military application. But right now, the most affordable filter are the 60 millimeter filters. And for most of the work that's gonna be done, that particular type of filter by rating is sufficient for most of the threats that are out there.
So what's going to happen this weekend with some other training is we're going to let them they're going to be doing some NBC tactical training with gas masks It's kind of good because temperature went down here It's clear and it's cool out of the north So I'd be a little more comfortable to operate all weekend with the gas mask on okay But they're going to see how these things take a beating this particular one And we're going to give you some feedback as soon as we know so we didn't forget you
And if you'd like to offer more, then just kick in up on the air. And if you'd like to sell some of those to anybody who's interested, then let's proceed with that because I don't need to be, I mean, we can be a middleman, but I don't need to be a middleman. And I appreciate the support with the network. We do need that also. So again, heads up, it is something that you've already put it through operational tests with a number of different masks.
everything works. The design works exactly the way it's supposed to. And that means that for all you guys who have those 40 millimeter thread intake points on your standard NATO mask, but don't seem to be able to find enough filters, this adapter would mean that all those other 60s that are out there could be completely, you know, immediately screwed onto your mask. Congratulations, you got yourself another however many breaths of life.
Probably not a bad thing. Okay, just again heads up there. So also again Well, I guess we don't have to worry about being rider trucks will be okay But you haul trucks are now the ones they're gonna be the attack vehicles, right? Right you hold now we're gonna watch out for you home. Oh my god. Nothing's safe Yeah, everything's safe. You're gonna just pay attention and actually you know, think ahead prayer prep for planning prevents piss poor performance
Before we move any farther, we're at about 16 minutes after the hour. Edward, if you could, the latest guns and gadgets. And there's a couple others that are in line here. We did not play over the last couple of days. The latest guns and gadgets is a bunch of stuff that is going on. Of course, if you don't know what happened in Michigan, they pushed the red flag law into effect. Not a surprise. Another way that secret police are gonna get shot because somebody's gonna get pissed.
Now I won't shed an alligator tear over any of that But it does mean that it's another way that something could escalate very quickly. Here we go. We'll be back.
If you're new to the channel, I bring you everything Second Amendment related, whether it's litigation or legislation and everything in between. And today's gonna be an odd day. It's my daughter's graduation. My son was in the Special Olympics this morning, so I'm running around crazy. But I do wanna share something with you. The Tennessee governor, Bill Lee, is trying to make Tennessee be the 22nd state in the union to sign into law red flag gun confiscation laws. I've talked about red flag ad nauseam.
You guys and gals ought to know what it is by now. If you don't, I have a bunch of, I have a playlist on red flag stuff. But three, three state reps have jumped forward to try to stop him. And this happened yesterday. So Tennessee, the governor tried to get it through during the regular session and Tennessee being a very strong conservative state, they told him absolutely not. We are not putting in this unconstitutional law. So the governor was getting a lot of pressure from on demand action and Brady and every town because of the issue that happened in Nashville.
So, rather than to be a man of his word and to follow the Constitution as oath, he decided to say, you know what, I'm going to call everybody back for a special session in August to try to push this through. Well, check this out. On the screen right now is a letter that was sent to the governor yesterday. It's an open letter, meaning that state reps can join into this letter when they want, and this is what it says. It's from a state representative, Brian Ritchie. He says, open letter to be signed by Tennessee Republican lawmakers.
Governor, on behalf of myself and my colleagues listed below, we urge you to abandon the special session that you have proposed for August 21st in response to the Covenant School tragedy because the General Assembly can further consider and discuss legitimate measures to improve public safety when the legislature reconvenes in January of 24. Summoning legislators to Nashville to enact an unconstitutional red flag law will not, as you suggest,
strengthen public safety and preserve constitutional rights. To the contrary, the General Assembly adamantly opposes and has refused to enact measures that violate Tennesseans Second Amendment rights, whether styled Order of Protection legislation or any other euphemism. Out of respect for the Second Amendment,
In Article 1, Section 26 of the Tennessee Constitution, the General Assembly has declined to adopt measures that would allow the confiscations of lawful firearms from citizens without due process. Such legislation would be blatantly unconstitutional under the controlling Supreme Court precedent, New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruin, of 2022. We will not violate our oath to uphold the Constitution for political expediency or to carry favor with special interests.
At the same time, we have supported your initiatives to enhance the security of Tennessee's schools to deter future incidents like the horror that occurred at Covenant on March 27, 2023. As you know, the 113th General Assembly adjourned in 2023's session without passing your proposed red flag law, and House Republicans have emphatically expressed their opposition to such measures in the future.
Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson has flatly stated that the Tennessee General Assembly will not pass any red flag law period. Accordingly, your proposed special session, apparently calculated to pressure legislators who pass such a law strikes us as expensive, disruptive, futile, and counterproductive publicity stunt. The covenant tragedy would not have been averted by a red flag law in any event.
Your proposed special session is a solution in search of a problem. We can strengthen our criminal penalties and protect our people at any time. It does not require a special session. A session that will be a political event to put pressure on conservative Republicans to grow government and ignore the will of their constituents in service to the national woke mob that will descend on the Capitol.
Press reports indicate that left-wing activists are planning to use the proposed special session to stage disruptive protests that will make the Tennessee 3 circus look like a dress rehearsal. Heavy security will be necessary to protect legislators from unruly agitators. Why would you want to provide a platform for such political theater? It is true that the governor has the constitutional prerogative to call a special session.
It is, in our view, wholly inappropriate to do so when the legislature, which has a super majority of members of the same political party as the governor, has voted to adjourn. There is no emergency declared or otherwise that justifies calling us back to work in August.
The reason is a series of policy proposals that we, as a legislative body, deliberately and prudently chose to reject this session. If inter-party comedy is being put aside to pressure fellow Republicans to embrace gun control measures, we still have a remaining duty to demand respect for the separation of powers.
The governor has already proposed and we have already disposed. Hopefully in January, we can continue our work together to make Tennessee safe, prosperous and free. And that is signed by state representative Brian Ritchie, as well as Ed Butler and Todd Werner. So good on these state reps for stepping up, calling the governor out. And it's true what they said that these anti-gun groups are
They're going to be rallying around the capital at this time than August 21st To try to pressure the governor and to pressure legislators to give up the rights of the people for the woke wimps Why in America tell me this why do we always? Cater to a percentage of the country that's that big
Let me know what you think down below. Until we see each other again, be safe. Stay visually and carry a gun to keep you, your friends, your family, your community safe. If you want to know more about the Second Amendment, as things are changing rapidly, like we're waiting to hear from a court, like today, or maybe tomorrow, or maybe today, wink, wink. Then subscribe to this channel and I'll keep you in the loop with anything from legislation to litigation and everything in between. I'll see you all on the next one. Have a fantastic day. Take care.
New Zounds, the online music shop that gets you here fast with free shipping on every order. Most orders are delivered within two days from one of our four warehouses across the country, including one near you in Tennessee. At Zounds, we... Ooh, good question. The red flag, it looks like they're gonna try and push it through, but it is not gonna happen if everybody does the right thing down there.
And there's now a contest with a bigger and bigger gap between one element of the government and the other, something we also pointed out many times. It's unfortunate it happens. Just the way things are. Well, well, get over it, get used to it, get on with the fight. And if the governor's got his head so far, his fundamental orifice couldn't be pulled out with a crowbar, well, just take a hammer and bang it in deeper. Turn him into a permanent human donut. Don't piss off. That's how it works.
Yes, sir. Looks like that can't be extracted. So I say we just make sure it stays right where it is and you kick rocks and get on down the road. How's that sound? Just get on down, get on down the road. Remember the Wiz? That was the remake of The Wizard of Oz. Yeah, the Wiz. It's gonna get on down, get on down the road.
So, by the way, there are a couple other videos you're gonna wanna watch. If you haven't watched what's been going on at Guns and Gadgets the last couple days, please take the time, go over to Guns and Gadgets on YouTube, subscribe, give them a thumbs up, do your part there to help them out. It only takes a moment and it's free, doesn't cost you anything. And then get on with other business. Again, share whatever you think makes sense. Also, the Second Amendment groups here in Michigan, there was a meeting yesterday,
a couple of great channels on YouTube to check out if you can take the time. But yesterday we had a great meeting locating Uber just north of Moscow. As a matter of fact, hold on here, it's a precursor to one of the other training exercises coming up by the way. And as a matter of fact, if you don't know what, that we have Moscow, Michigan. Yes, like Moscow, Russia, it's spelled the same.
And it's just northeast of Hillsdale. So if you're not familiar with that. But anyway, in the spring arbor area, that whole area is going to be very busy this weekend. But they also had a bunch of the reps from the west side of the state come over and meet with some of the other movers and shakers from everywhere from over towards Tipton, Camden, I think also Waldron was represented.
Hillsdale, Coldwater, also, Taconcha. I'm not sure I get that right. Taconcha, yeah, Taconcha. And the guys from Taconcha are actually the ones that are in Lansing today as part of the share time to monitor the governor's office. So there's a bunch of people that are now, like I said, they're under a microscope. Everybody they're meeting with is being recorded and logged.
Everybody that they're meeting with when they're not in the Capitol building is being recorded and logged Everything they do is under a microscope because they're definitely with the Chinese the communist Chinese now and everybody knows it so The other thing here again, there is a meeting up in Where's the note on that one? Oh, I got it right here the by the way, the Kennedy Democrats are meeting
up in the upper part of the, oh no, it's the western part of the state, it's gotta be, because they're meeting up in Beulah, up in the Beulah area, there's a little resort there. A number of the Kennedy Democrats are getting together for the western half of the state, up near Beulah, whether it's not so bad, it ain't that cold up there. But up there in the Frankfurt area, if you're not familiar, and that meeting,
including apparently also, I guess, wait, hold on here. Let me get this right. There are a couple of representatives from the Kennedy campaign who will be up there this weekend. And they're helping to coordinate with the Kennedy Democrats in Michigan towards ousting the communists that we have in the cross-dressing man that we have as governor right now, the He-Sheet.
Greg Shitmer, Titmer, Fitmer, whatever it is, something like that. So I know it's a mer there somewhere. But anyway, the cross-dressing man, everybody is pushing to make sure that this doesn't happen again. And so right now, in fact, I believe this weekend, it's supposed to be like a weekend event. It's probably gonna start Friday or maybe Saturday morning. But it'll be through the weekend to Sunday evening.
And there's people coming as far away as Monroe, the Thumb. I know there's some people from the Upper Peninsula that will be there. They're with the Demikins. I know we don't care that much about the Demikins per se. But these people at least have their heads screwed on a little closer to where they should be. And they are kicking ass and taking names. And they are bringing in the resources to get the job done.
So we'll see what happens. The individuals are, I guess, gonna help to coordinate with the national effort, but the national outside the state of Michigan effort coming in is gonna help to start pegging the problem that everybody sees in Michigan right now. So we'll see how that works out also. But Flint, as a matter of fact, in fact, I believe it's the same place, and forgive me, but as I recall,
Up in Flint, Michigan, north of Flint, as a matter of fact, northwest of Flint. Got another Colonial Marine Militia training exercise going on in the, up at the commons and over at the, at one of the, oh, come on, horse branches. So they're gonna be busy this weekend. I'll say hi to the guys, because I know that they're setting up a mobile AM-FM micro transceiver and a channel 31 type.
CB base station system and they will be busy over the weekend there for the next probably four days because today is Thursday so they're setting up tonight they will be testing and then they'll be running through the weekend and also I guess so we've got friends coming in from Pennsylvania Southern Pennsylvania and also from what's in the location okay there we go yeah I see you thank you
way from Ohio. So that's looking pretty good. And guys, again, pay attention. Watch your roads. The highways, they really haven't been that crazy recently. I shouldn't say too much because the state police, of course, have been revenue-ing. But it's interesting. It seems to me like most of the departments are kind of hanging back and not everybody's too highly motivated to cause any problem with the motorists right now in terms of the uniformed services here. I don't know what it is.
I think everybody's tired of the regime and pissed the same way and it's interesting that with some of the old things that are going on inside the different, you know, like the state police has got a little thing going on right now too with the Civil War. This would be interesting to see how this develops. That's something that will again, do we, are my counting on those people? Well, I hate to tell you no, you should know better.
Hey Mark, can I use your favor please? But they are in trouble. Okay, go ahead caller. Chip in there please. For a minute caller, go ahead. You might be talking, but we can't hear you. Okay, I just heard a little hiccup there. So, go ahead and if in fact switch over if you're using speaker, try going over just to you know, conventional mic, regular phone. See how that works for you.
I can hear a blurb, but just a little bit. Okay, I don't know what's going on. I'll tell you what, maybe disconnect, reconnect. I promise I'll be here. Okay, there we go. I heard more words, but not much. Baker Charlie to Acapulco Gold. Able Baker Charlie to Acapulco Gold. Whoa, dude, someone's on the radio, man. Whoa. So, no, sorry about that. If you don't remember Cheech and Chong, you would appreciate that, guys. Anyway, okay, I'll tell you what.
If you have to hang up, reconnect, come back. Not trying to stop you from talking, but we're just not hearing you. That's all. And it's clean. You were clear for a minute, but then just disappeared. I know it's not this end because I'm checking all my equipment just to make sure we're looking good. So anyway, a couple other things real quick before we go any farther. We're at the bottom of the hour, a little past, while we're waiting to see if our friend can reconnect with us here. And I'm not trying to prevent you from doing that now.
Also, again, somebody asked, I mentioned yesterday about the dagger pistols. Once again, that's over at Palmetto State Armory. One of the emails I checked a couple days ago, one of you was asking, well, which one are you talking about? It really wouldn't make any difference. Although there is a difference in price. That is true, and everybody's kind of pointed that out. There are different combinations.
Personally, the basic ground model to me, it looks like it works just fine. So it's a Glock knockoff. And I don't know how much you can really do to dress up a Glock. I mean, to be quite honest, I don't see any need for it. The biggest problem is that it's kind of like the AR-15. We've lost track of what the original intent behind the rifle was.
I understand the original argument. We had a 9 pound combat rifle and we needed something lighter because guys were walking around in 102 degrees temperature with absolute 100% humidity and they were cooking. And everything you carried dragged. Okay. So they made a really cool slick side M16 E1 eventually which became the A1 rifle and it was a good weapon. Okay. For what it was.
Now it had its problems and everybody knows that's why we always joke and call it it was a piece of junk but it's a great piece of junk. By the time they worked all the bugs out, which they did, eventually the Air 15 with everything properly put together did what it was supposed to do. I like the original pattern and the more that I see some of the stuff that's been done, it's useful for certain practitioners but not useful for most shooters.
And that's something that we need to take into consideration. The only good thing is for the industry is that because a lot of people have decided to follow what are certain trends, the people who have the cutting edge weapons that they want are more affordable because a lot of other people have tried to copycat or build up even from the same gun company that the person bought from. Even if they couldn't afford the $3,000 model, they probably can afford the $1,000 model.
Maybe most people not even that but the fact is that the Glock design is should have been what it originally was intended to be was kiss keep it simple stupid Remember that the Glock was supposed to be an incredibly cheap weapon to produce which it is
and it was supposed to be like a Bugs Bunny production line. Okay, you had a bucket waiting down at the end of the line and everybody grabbed the parts and put them on the piece and when you got to the end it dropped off the conveyor belt right into the box and then in your repackage and they just reach in the box, grab one and give it to the cook, grab one, give it to the truck driver, grab one, give it to the pilot and who cares if something happens with it, they were so cheap to make, which they are.
that you should be able to hand out three to every soldier. And that's the part they don't like to talk about. They make, oh, the Glock is so hard to make. No, it's just a reverse. What's bad for the whole mechanism is, and again, you still have to have the setup. You have to cover the setup. The setup cost for doing Glock was finished decades ago.
Because of the, you know, again, the only thing that does change things up for the sake of changing things up because they have to have, you know, have to create a new model so that you market it, is what it comes down to. So because of this, the present generation, the knockoffs are all pretty much taking advantage of whatever the latest or the last latest trend was before the present trend.
The dagger takes advantage of whatever ideas anybody did come up with, put it into a very straightforward design. It does have some variance in construction, but overall it's just a basic lock. It's a Pontiac lock. It's not a Cadillac block. If Glock is the Cadillac, it's a Pontiac. Okay, but that's okay. Pontiacs get you to work every day. They do just what they're supposed to do. You walk out, turn the key. You go down the road, they come back, you're done.
And the same is true with 99% of what everybody needs in the way of personal firearm, especially when you're talking personal defense guns, to each his own. And this is America. We love variety. In fact, I love variety and that you should have not one, but 10, 12, or 14. I think the Glock's a great idea. Why you're at it? Why don't you get a Smith? Why you're at it? Why don't you get an M&P Smith? Why don't you get a Model 10 Smith? Why don't you get a Ruger? Oh, take your pick. P100, XP100, whatever the hell it is.
Take your pick Taurus Taurus is look good by Taurus In other words, what I'm not gonna get into the ark into about this gun is so much better than that gun I'm more concerned with the idea. Did you get one? Don't talk about it and they keep changing your mind. Did you get one? Have you committed to something commit to something? Show me how good you are with it That's what I want to see. I want you to be top-notch I want you to master that weapon that tool in the toolbox that you have. That's all I'm worried about
in my back mark. But if we make... go ahead, there we go. Now you sound great. Jump in there please. Yeah, okay, I was out of pocket. Did I hear you say you had an adapter for a 60 millimeter filter to a 40 millimeter mask? If so, can I... can you tell me how to get one again? Just putting the word out to our manufacturer and the person who sent it to me because I'd like to... I know that they're making them 3D and he may have made this 3D. If he did, I don't care. It's a very good quality product.
I don't have it. My hand is literally right above me. If I could reach through the ceiling, I could grab it right there. I know it's right there. Okay. But the fact is that it's something we've had. I experimented with it last night on two or three other masks that I didn't have before, just to be safe. One of them is the French FRs that came out here a while back. It was the FR5 or whatever.
And they work on all of them. It seals. It does what it's supposed to do. The only thing we're, again, is durability. But I would point something out that no matter what, however long it lasts, it would be worth the money. Again, I need to pay for a company. So, can you hear about that?
Absolutely. Again, I would say whoever's listening, not whoever's listening, I know, but I'm not putting his name out here. But he probably is listening because he's a better regular listener that if that's available, then come up on the air and yes, I'd like him to market it. I think that he should.
Don't tell him. Thanks from all our hearts are doing that. It's great. Yeah, and it's one of those things where it's Let's get this in motion now. I've got a couple other projects It would be neat if it was in metal, but you know what? Probably not really needed the plastic the polymer makes more sense and Again, it's discardable as needed. You're not gonna cry about it. But I think also for the sake of being able to the plastic
will more efficiently bond and seal the way it should. It's just one. Yeah, so it's in the polymer is the better choice. Remember, when the Canadians and the Germans built their adapters to go the other way, they could have made them out of metal and they were making things out of metal at the time. There are several other variations on the idea that were made out of metal, but they went with the polymer because it's less aggressive with the working parts of the gas mask.
And remember, it's the filter that's supposed to be disposable. We don't want to distort the mask. We just don't care if we just store a filter. So it's like I said, it's like, well, if you have a magazine problem, you don't carve on the $500 gun. You adjust the, you know, the $3 magazine, right? I appreciate it. I'll let you get back to discussing that. I made a pistol. Thanks so much. I'll be listening.
Thank you and again bringing it up that means that our listener might have heard this time when he might not have heard the last time So it's okay and again guys This is one of those things where we're trying to come up with as many different final solutions for certain technologies One of the things that I've noticed Okay, is the troops over in the Ukraine are all carrying mostly not everybody But they are carrying their NBC technology
Anybody pay attention to the pictures and the videos? Ignore most of the post stuff. Okay, but the post stuff, they had to pull a guy off to the side and do it. But go look at the battlefield footage of Ukrainian and or like the Wagner troops, which you see a lot of video of, or the Russian troops.
Now I don't think that officially either side has been hit with heavy chem or anything like that because you'd have heard about it. Although that varies too. I mean, come on, we got American troops on the ground and they've been lying their ass about that, you know, for the whole time. You know, they've been lying your ass off about a lot of stuff. But the thing is that everybody is still realizing that the radiological, you know, nuclear biological and chemical threat
is right there at their fingertips and they are on a real, they're in a real battlefield. Okay, they're on a real conflict of FIBA. So they're using the stuff. Now, what does that mean though? Well, it is true that there's billions.
and billions of dollars worth of NBC equipment laying around. I guarantee in Russia, just like that salt mine I was talking about yesterday where they take you down into it, and there's miles of tunnels and they're all full of equipment, of ammunition and weapons, okay? And if you haven't seen this, there are videos by the Wagner group where they just took the salt mine complex back. It was under the hands of the
are the rebel units for the last, well, in the earlier part of the last seven years, they lost control of that area to the Ukrainian military that came in and of course was killing more of the local population. And when they backed off, they were gonna destroy the access to the mine, but apparently somebody didn't get around to it, so the demolitions are all still sitting there, which are valuable by themselves.
But then when they go down into the tunnels, they knew that this was a reserve arsenal. This was a massive reserve arsenal. There are still down there and they ain't all rusted up. They look like they just came from the factory. M1A1 Thompson's that were Lend-Lease guns from World War II. M1928A1 Thompson's like they just came from the factory. Maxing machine guns, DP machine guns.
AKS, SKS's, etc. Well, they did pull out the 74s that they probably had there, but there's a lot of other weapons in the inventory. And it was also pointed out that while they didn't show them, there are virtually tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of peppy submachine guns, both the 41 and the 43.
So there's an example, you know, again, of depaling and how it can happen. Well, chem protection is the same way. And the Russians always had the ability. This is one thing you got to say about the Communists. They had 125% capacity in civil defense. In other words, you didn't have to kind of like the Swiss in that respect. The Swiss have 125% potential. How can you have over 100%?
Well, what it means is that you have enough of a redundant inventory that if you're standing somewhere else and you're not where your goodies are, somebody could drag you in, you know, take you down into the bunker or blast chamber, blast shelter site that they have in the house, which is there by law, and everything is there that you need to be, you know, fine.
you know, taken care of, when the all clear pops up or the two weeks, three weeks, whatever it takes for everything to, you know, tone down as far as radiation goes, then you can scuttle out with the equipment you need, get to your location that you weren't at, and then take advantage of the material that you so far haven't used. Food, water, munitions, etc., etc., medical supplies.
NBC, Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Defense. Here's the problem, just as I pointed out, even though there's tons of that stuff I guarantee underground all over the place in Ukraine, a lot of it's been stolen by the Jewish mob. They turn around, pull the stuff out of a country, and sell it to the next party over. But...
The other problem is that the stuff is underground looks like it's just staying there and what's happening is the commerce activity and the way to cover the cooking the books is to slide stuff sideways. Well over the counter all that surplus that you would have counted on probably purchased from is going to these war efforts and that's not the only war on the planet. You've got the stuff going on in the Middle East. You've got a couple of actions in Asia, not the Chinese but others.
consume over-the-counter perishables.
uniforms, boots, etc. Now China keeps up on this. China is doing a booming business. America, well we screwed ourselves because we let the kosher mafia and the filth make up the new world order pull all of our industry out of the country. And we should have been the ones at least making money off this, but we've all been screwed so only a tight-knit little clique are the ones that are raping the rest of the planet for whatever you know shekels, dimes, nickels, quarters.
gold pieces, whatever, they're stealing from everybody. But China produces everything. And again, they produce the critical perishables at a much better cost, better price than anybody else. And for that reason, that's, again, why we're having to take advantage of that simply because we can't get enough of what we need. Gas masks were in that situation right now. Filters, it's worse. And the fact that they did get a conflict going
The rent revolution companies have stripped out several of their inventories and probably tried to restock again and what they're doing is it's like as Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, which nobody hardly talks about, and some of the other border Eastern block states, Eastern European states are realizing that they're going to get into a conflict.
They are cycling out some of their oldest reserve equipment and upgrading, taking the cash capital to purchase more of the newer equipment or to build newer. Now, the problem with the EU is it's a screw your country program. So the biggest problem that all these countries have is in order for them to get into the Jew-U, I mean EU, now it's the Jew-U.
program, you have to drop all your own manufacturing. This is what already happened to Romania years ago when they were betrayed after the fall of the wall. It's also true of several of the other countries. Not everybody paid attention to that. Hungary has done a better job of not being as stupid. And Poland was, but then Poland bought into this garbage with the Ukraine. So I don't know what's going on with Poland anymore. It's sad. They've got good quality products. They produce, they have an excellent food.
agricultural and animal husbandry element, but they seem to have gotten some really dumbass management people in there who just started frothing at the mouth about Russia. Doesn't mean that they don't take Russia seriously, but part of this was the delusion of grandeur thing.
Somebody, probably the kosher mafia bankers, had their ear like they did before World War II and talked them into going along with this garbage. And they should know better. It's rather interesting, they got burdened with the refugee problem even though they blocked the Muslim invaders whose job it would have been just like it is in Sweden, Norway, Finland, and all those countries north to overburden the social services system.
So what do they do? There's a double tap here by buying into this crap with the Ukraine war. All of a sudden Poland has this influx of 4 million Ukrainians, many of whom are used to being freeloaders in the socialist system that was being pumped by the Jewish mob in the Ukraine as they were taking over over the last six, seven years. So they just slid sideways looking for another sugar daddy, which is what they've done.
But now Poland has the exact same problem that it would have had had it not blocked the border the way it did. So they got hit anyway, but it was of their own doing. Now the good thing is, hopefully, that while Poland is, again, traditionally Roman Catholic,
most of the Ukraine, not all, but a good portion of the Ukraine and like Russia, are Orthodox. They're from the Greek side, well from the old empire, East Empire side. So the problem is that Poland may have drank the Kool-Aid because of some other issues having to do with old religious scores and conflict, but the problem is that the people that they let in aren't necessarily that similar in interest
and certainly aren't interested if they didn't stick around to fight in, for instance, Ukraine. And then they get, they slide sideways and go west over into Poland. Is it likely that they will fight for Poland if Poland were in trouble? Or would they just look for another sugar daddy? Oh, yeah. Now I understand the idea of not sticking around so the Jewish mafia can get you killed, but...
This is the problem we're having in the United States is eventually everybody keeps beating feet trying to find somewhere else to run and hide Rather than dig your hair in turn around kick him in the face and start beating the enemy down and with Ukraine It's the kosher mafia in you know Influences that was flown in on one plane and if they've been done away with right there They'd fried that plane with those bastards all on board that LL airliner
Ukraine wouldn't be in the situation as now. Now, of course, somebody had gone after whoever did that, but whoever did it would have saved their country a whole lot of misery because it would have screwed up the timetable. Seriously. Something to think about. Just something to think about. So, Poland is not coming off as much as it was, but remember a couple years ago here, Poland was upgrading dramatically. That's why you see all of that really good Polish surplus that showed up, like the body armor and everything else.
you'll notice that's not coming in anymore, not anywhere near the quantity, and sure as hell not the price. Why? Well, it's because they're using it, because Poland has militia, and they've had all kinds of other infrastructure mechanisms they've had to build back up, because now they are on the edge of a war zone. So they're not coming off very much, and I don't think they're so stupid that they're cutting any more of their guns up or selling it in, but you never know. I mean, there's idiot stick stuff going on all the time.
Now, on another thing I would address, and I still, I'm always fascinated by this, you know, they were saying, well, they had all those old peppy-ish guns, you know, peppy-ishes, and all those are really, like, useless. It's like, really? Let me tell you how I'd use the peppy-ish gun, the PPS submachine guns. There's not any submachine gun that's obsolete. Point to one, explain to me how it's quote-unquote obsolete.
If you have 100 million rounds of 7.62x25 in a salt mine, and you have 100,000 PEPIA submachine guns, I'd have gotten every weapon out of that tunnel network that I could have dragged away. And I'd have tactically dispersed them deeper into the country when the Belarus operatives were in control of the place.
That would have been a nonstop 24-7 project. Why? Well, because by leaving them where they did, what happened? Well, it turns out that the enemy got the Western kosher run Ukrainian secret police got control of the whole pile of material. And of course, it was then deprived, denied to the people who were trying to protect Eastern Ukraine.
If the peppy issues if you had a submachine gun like that and you have a hundred million rounds or 20 million 50 million rounds Who cares you would create units that would that would be their purpose in life would be to carry the weapon and carry as many loaded mags as possible They'd be mechanized and you literally hose down targets. You know, I don't believe in that
But when you've got a weapon that's older and if you want to consider it obsolete, let me ask you something. Like my brother used to say, well, you go get out of the well house there and let me shoot you and let's see how obsolete it is. So with a peppy-ish, with a drum, and drop the drum, put the other drum in, put obsolete.
It didn't cost me anything. It was paid for 70 years ago. The gun was built 70 years ago. The gun's paid for. The gun's brand new in the grease sitting below ground. I pull it up, clean it off, I plug the parts in, it works just like it did when it was built. I've got 100,000 of them. I've got millions of rounds of ammo. Now how is it you couldn't figure out how to make that work? Every swing and dink that can carry a weapon would have a weapon. In fact, here's two of them.
Congratulations, you like this one? Yeah. Well, here's another one. By the way, the deals big heavy crates here. Yeah, that's your ammo. And by the way, hold on. Wait a minute. There's one more. How many of you got two guns? Oh, here's 10. Here's 10 drums for each one. Or here's 10. Here's 10 stick mags and two drums for each one load. They're at load them all up. We're going to war. Now, normally I wouldn't do that. But you see, here's the other thing ever say, well, these are older weapons. Well, then we better use them song better use it up.
You put you put a basically hard strike heavy firepower units together usually utilizing those weapons and the vast amount of inventory You keep it in a very narrow area so that the supply system is integrated into your area of defense You're not going to run out of ammo and you're not offensive to begin with you're not trying to take real estate You try to keep real estate
And that means you're going to be, it's fire maneuver. You're going to be constantly working defense in depth, counter striking, etc, etc. So the weapons you all see there, it's like the maximum, a maximum belt fed machine gun is not water cooled by the way. These are water cooled guns. These are not obsolete. These are guns that could continue to sustain fire. Water cooled, jacketed gun will sustain all
hundreds of thousands of rounds in constant fire. Maxim especially, that gun, the one that they show there, guys, Maxim sold that gun by putting what was it, something like 100,000 rounds in the first demonstration to one gun, 100,000 rounds. There is the one story that he did a million rounds, that's insane. That literally is like, yeah, I'm gonna show you just how well my gun works.
Then they just fired and fired it. Yes, they did barrel changes eventually, but they just fired it and fired it and fired it and fired it and fired it and fired it and fired it and fired it and fired it. So we probably got tired of holding the trigger. So they went out and traded positions and they just fired it and fired it and fired it and fired it. Now that maximum gun sitting there brand new in the cosmoline is the gun we're talking about. So I'll tell you what, if I got $100,000, if I got 20, 40 or 60,000 rounds, I would pay for itself.
So why would I not employ them? Again, with a defense in depth, everything is used. But here's the other thing. Everybody gets a gun. What? We're militia. Everybody gets a gun. What about Grappler there? Yeah, Grappler, you still breathing? Yeah, he's still breathing, sir. Give him a pepish. You remember those? Oh, yes. Remember, great war killing Germans.
I can do this half dead and with my eyes closed. Well sir, that's what you look like right now. Yes, I'm saying I can still use it. See how that works? There is no such thing as obsolete. If you're looking at weapons built in the last hundred years, there's no such thing as obsolete. That's BS. In fact, here's the thing. We're running full circle. They were grossly overpowered or more powerful and we dropped down in some ways because we needed a smaller rifle, a rifle caliber, right?
Well, guess what? Now everybody's acknowledging we're going up against mechanicals, robotoids, hematodes, hemorrhoids, whatever. And because of that, we need bigger bullets. We need more power behind those bullets. Well, guess what? The 8mm Mauser, the 7.62x54R, in a belt-fed gun, I'd say it's got some punch power.
And you know what, since it's already paid for, here's the key thing here. Nope, I don't have to go to some stinkin' mercenary company and take and promise the industrial output of my nation for 10 years to pay for some half-assed equipment they're gonna sell me to fight a war with. All the equipment you're talkin' about, and that was just one facility, and there are many, many others in the Ukraine and Russia and the United States like this, where literally there's an entire arsenal, a massed arsenal under your feet.
But it's already paid for. You'd be stupid not to use it. It's dumb. Where they get the... Well, I know what they do. They get dumbass ideas from dumbass people. Go ahead, jump in there. Yeah, this is Carl in Virginia. It's sick that they had all that weaponry, and yet they were handing volunteers from foreign countries, like America, a rusty AK with one magazine. Yeah, yeah. Oh, they...
Go find these videos if you have Carl if you haven't seen them go track this down. It's Wagner group I think it's captures salt mine arsenal or something like that look put Salt mine arsenal in Ukraine under Wagner control. That's another way you might find it and there's older videos From because they've been down there more than once. Okay, go ahead jump in their car I posted that in the general track of one of the videos showing the salt mine
Excellent, thank you. So guys go to the gilded, go to our gilded blankets, constant scroll, you'd be able to check it out, but share it. See what gets me about this is even as they said, they were using flashlights. They said the flashlights couldn't illuminate the tunnels. They were so deep and they're full, side to side with crates and weapons, with crates and crates all the way from the floor to the ceiling.
of ammunition. And we're not talking one little layer of ammunition, we're talking galleries. Okay? These are, mines are not the way you think in movies like you see in the old prospector mines with a little tunnel big enough to be about the size of a house door. We're talking modern machinery here. If you've been, guys, you can drive semi-stream any of these tunnels. Side by side by side.
Okay, well guess what? Yeah, the middle area is not only about the width of one and a half semis That's because all the side walls are filled with munitions So if I've been me see that's the thing about prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance You guys all need to be thinking ahead logistics logistics logistics How can I get it and how do I move it? And so every aspect of what everyone does this ant specialization crap has to end
You have to become a generalist you want to win you've got to be it You've got to be a jack-of-all-trades you don't need to be an ace of any but you'll probably be an ace in one But a jack-of-all-trades and that means that when it comes to a situation like this Oh that all they'd find her dust bunnies and they could see the salt on the wall If that'd been me and I was there. Oh, dude, this is all out of here. What do you mean? I don't care How long it takes this this craps all out of here
In fact, when we leave, when we go up the elevator, one of these crates goes with us. Every time the elevator goes up, something's going with us. Y'all understand that? That's the mindset. We are ants. Today you are ants. This ant hole is going to be empty by the time we're done. And we may not finish it because it looks like there's a hell of a lot of stuff here. But what it means is that the militia, the Eastern Ukrainian militias, I had said for the last couple of years,
They were pulling everything out they could, but this is an example of something they had control over, and if they'd managed it right, they had everything that they needed. I don't know how much 45 ACP they got, because there's all those Thompsons, and there's all those Thompson mags, and there's even Thompson drums, because the 28 takes a drum. Drum or stick, either one. The A1 only takes a stick. Always remember that. Anyway, we've got to get out of here. We'll talk about that more in 55 minutes. We're a little past the top of the hour.
The
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 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? Oh, 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, get the torch of freedom burning bright.
As I awoke he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each god-given right, we only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave?
One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories South the Southwest East Northeast and Central Ladies and gentlemen, you were listening to us on you Www Liberty Tree radio for mg.com Liberty Tree radio dot o RG
and we're on satellite. Say hi to all our merchant brain operators out there. We're in a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside the United States. It is Thursday. It's the other day when the Mossad and elements of Homeland Succia Radia and the alphabet soup agencies commit acts of terrorism against the American people and try to blame somebody else for it, just like when they did that fake ass
U-Haul operation in Washington with the convenient Nazi flag. Oh, she went look at that flag. I wish it met Yeah, it's an example right there Anyway, it is the 25th of May. It is the last hour of the Intel report It is the 15th year of Obanavia sand in your face baby on the socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K2023 old earth calendar
help me Spock help me good now to Lincoln and 2023 battle for the Republic the dance of swords and away we go so it is been a very busy week it is Thursday headed to the weekend with regard to training operations we do have a couple of different groups that are setting up right now Thursday night looks like we're gonna have clear and cold or clearing cool
So again, take your cold weather gear. We've warned you about this before, still springtime, theoretically. Well, we had perfect weather today. It is crystal clear tonight and the temperature was much cooler than the last couple of days. So beware, doesn't mean that we're going to get a frost down here on the low end of the state, but farther north you go, hey, could end up with just cold enough to leave some frost on the new pumpkins. Well, not even pumpkins, pumpkin plants. Hope we don't do that. I want to kill them.
But again, beware and pay attention. Also, don't forget medical support and if you're going to need the facilities this weekend, beforehand, you must have your ID, must have your pass coin or your pass ID marker, you know what that is. And in addition to that, you still have to have the two number 10, you know, what you call gallon cans of food. Doesn't mean you're what it is. But I will point out that Ollie's, Ollie's.
has had at their stores number 10, one gallon can as you call them, but they're a little less than gallon, number 10 cans of pickle spears and $3 a can. So if you got an ollie nearby, I don't know how long they'll last, but the one store here sold out pretty quick. We grabbed a bunch of them, but whatever they had in the inventory, somebody else sucked up real quick for $3 for a number 10 can of
Let's see, what was it? Connie was named Brad. I think it wasn't Del Monte. It was one of the others. Classic, probably. Forgive me. And I've got a can sitting around the corner here. But couldn't pass them up for $3 a can. I'm going to buy it no matter what it is. It's just all there is to it. So again, what does it cost to get through the gate? $6. That's your donation to the Patriot Cause that puts more food on the pallets. Everybody gets the job done.
So again, if you go to Ollie's, it's usually later in the year, or I should say very late in the year when you see these kind of deals, but Ollie's is like Big Lock used to be. If you got an Ollie's, you should go check it out. You never know what they're going to have. Right now, they've started to get their spray paint back in. I've got some, I cleared off the shelf of certain tactical colors because
They're cheaper than anybody else on the planet for spray paint. Krylon, Valspar, etc. And for instance, I think I picked up seven, eight cans of flat tan. I think about another half dozen of the medium green flat tactical Krylon. $3 a can as opposed to what, $7, $8, $6 a can, $6, doesn't change.
So, a lot better price and some really good high quality stuff. Otherwise, it's for industrial use. So, you might want to check all these out. Paints, tactical gear, equipment, you name it, anything and everything shows up there. And electronics. So, you find some deals. I'm thinking about them out twice on their cameras, their car cameras.
They're out again, but when they come back in, I'm going to grab a few more, you know, for the windshield car cameras. They're good for a lot of other work, by the way. Also, let's see here. Oh, I didn't mention, again, over at Classic Firearms, you want to go check their deals for the weekend. ClassicFirearms.com. ClassicFirearms.com. ClassicFirearms.com. They do have a couple of really good deals, and they did restock on black powder items.
If you were looking for a couple of Josie Wales guns, for instance, there's a couple of really nice package deals that they had for the 1836 Cap'n Ball and also for the Remington Cap'n Ball. So you might want to check that out, see what it is. It makes more sense for you, Colts or Remingtons.
But also, I've been watching, but they haven't restocked and that's weird, is in the Dragoon slash infantry pistols, you know, Flitlock or Cap and Ball. Cap and Ball are a little hard to find because most of the older style with the proper burl and everything are usually done in Flint. But it's a coming, it catches, catch, catch, catch thing because there's a roller coaster around Revolutionary War, War of 1812 stuff.
and you got to catch it right. Otherwise, again, they prioritize production just like anybody else does. So right now, it seems to me that the cylinder guns are the priority, and that's what we see popping in from the same companies over and over again. Also, and again, classicfirearms.com. Also, over at Atlantic Firearms, I mentioned this the other day, you might want to go check it out. They've got Browning M250-caliber semi-auto guns, only about
Or was it $15,000? I think. Only $15,000. Only? Oh, God. But if you want to check, you know, there's some nice videos that they've done that are on the site with the item. Also, they have a MAG58 semi-auto. And for those of you who, again, have ferrets, some of you have ferrets that have more money than I do.
Ferrets were cheap. We used to get them for $500 to $600 to $700 a piece. Actually a little less than $500 originally. But ferret armored cars for $650 to $700 get you a nice vehicle. Half of them are browning cradles. Half of them are mag 58 cradles for the gun and the turret. And this is also true of the Saladin armored cars.
So if you were looking for something to match up because maybe you didn't track down the Browning Cradle you should have got Guess what? Well times caught up with you. They got mag 58s out there and the NATO, you know standard NATO calibers standard NATO link So that definitely is an idea now. They're $14,000 apiece There's some sticker shock, but again check them out if nothing else. It'll give me an idea some of the stuff that's out there Remember all the saw 556
brownings that were out there. In fact, again, who was it that was carrying them? Oh, that was classic firearms there. Atlantic, of course, had some too. They're all gone. And if you'll notice, these FNs, the FNs were not replaced. Whatever they built and put out, they didn't seem to bring any more in, at least not recently. And if they have, well, that'd be kind of fascinating. I'd like to see that.
So, Atlantic Firearms, go peruse their inventory. You never know what you're going to find there. There might be something else of interest. Another thing is I mentioned Pepiche SMGs. There were a couple companies building Pepiche 41 semi-auto guns and Pepiche 43 semi-automatic, quote unquote, pistols.
Well, they did put the folding stock on it. They welded the folding stock in place. So you're not supposed to take and grind the welds off or anything like that and don't, not right now. Leave them the way they are. When war comes, you can use the Dremel tool in a few minutes and there you go. You're done. Okay.
However, because of this, if you're looking for magazines, and you might want some spare parts anyway, if you go over to AIM surplus, and I believe that maybe, maybe SACL might have a few parts kits too, but the parts kits that are available over at Apex also come with three mags, mag pouch, and all the other accoutrements.
Now does that mean I want to spend $100 on a parts kit just to get three mags? Well, the thing is you get the spare parts and you get the spare mags. If it's a Polish Peppie 41, then guess what? It comes typically, it comes with both a three sticks and a drum, but that varies because the drums are worth a chunk of changes sold by themselves.
Now for a while there when the wall fell and Polish stuff was out there in force like the German East German Though those drums were giveaway prices now. They're not giveaway prices So if you can catch something out there with apex gun parts Gun parts corp.com and don't forget sarco see what they got in the way of deals because they do have grade two and
Which don't look pretty but function there you're probably on the outside, but you know what I mentioned that Krylon paint What do you think it goes on stuff like that? You want to make it purified you want to give it a new coat of paint you can go with whatever grade you want to paint you can spend whatever money you want You've got hard coat. It'll you can fear in theory take a hammer to it. I don't think I plan on doing that but tactical Krylon can do just as well for keeping the rust from developing by creating a
vapor barrier between the air and the metal and that'll pretty well settle it. Of course the other option, just make sure you keep the thing greased. If you're not going to refinish it, just make sure you keep it greased very lightly, very, very lightly. But that's enough to keep the crystalline structure of the steel from breaking down on you. Okay? And prevent it. Make sure that doesn't happen. Let's see next on the... Before we go farther, don't want to go too far away.
That's pretty good as far as the there's no super ammunition deals, but there are some pretty good pretty good ammunition solutions over at AIM surplus as always and there is some enormous stuff that came in I didn't get chance even go through that completely I just grazed the scroll and I noticed that there's a few more Boxes in normal different loads. You might want to go check that out could be 40 cal could be 38 38 special
I know a lot of people are looking to keep their .38s and .357s up to snuff and they might not have picked up enough ammo. AIM Surplus has a bunch of .38 and .357 Magnum and they have it in PPU and other manufacturers. So if you're looking for factory fresh, factory specific, there you go. But if you are doing .38, then what you want to do is immediately invest in dyes. And same effect, look at this way.
If you're doing 357 Magnum, you do understand that 38 Special is the same, right? So you do understand that you can dial down a 357 Magnum die so that you can do 38. They did teach you that in the storybooks, right? Well, sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.
There's, take a look at how a die works and then take a look at the specs for the two and you'll see what I'm talking about. So if you can, you want to round up the 357 die at least. If you're running 38 special though, grab 38 if you can. I have seen some excellent deals and we've acquired some really good RCBS dies including carbide 38 special recently for, you know, very, very, very good price. It just couldn't be passed up so everybody grabbed them while we could.
Another thing, also, especially paying attention to the auctions right now, the bulk auctions for lead. Now, nobody's really worried too much about that, but one of the things that I've caught, I've stacked a lot of lead recently. Tool auctions, usually you'll have odd lots of all kinds of tool boxes. Half of them were plumbers, half of them were electricians.
and a percentage of carpentry. But carpentry is really flipped off sideways. So you're looking at mechanical and needless to say automotive mechanics who usually are jack of all trades and do everything else too. So what's fascinating about that because working in a vehicle you can run anything.
is if they're experienced they've got, for instance, a lot of materials tied in. And recently, solder, especially, I've taken advantage of this. Every stick and piece and roll of solder I get my hands on goes into the inventory, not for the purpose of making bullets. However, because you're usually banging on stuff with a hammer and or trying to adjust certain things.
Lead blocks or lead bricks or lead cubes come in handy for certain work You can usually tell looks like somebody's been tapping on the end of a pipe or using the pipe as a driver for Whatever it was that they were tapping out on the other side with the distorted lead But the fact is that they do pop up like that and it is pure lead typically that I've been running into
It's not something for reloading or anything like that, but it can be slid sideways over into reloading very quickly. The only consideration here is if you go with pure lead, remember that soft are still a little tin and a little antimony, and both are available in the metal market and can be acquired in forecasting. Just keep your percentages the same as the factory bullet.
And you're gonna end up with a pretty decent little little combination there and you can recast bullets yourself I would also plate them that is in fact the biggest priority. I'm trying to do a machine that's going to be Well more than one so that I can plate different batches with different materials. I also want to do that for other metal parts because we are looking at
certain work that needs to be done. So again, if you go to YouTube, there's a bunch of really great, hundreds of really great videos on how to build your own plating machine. And most people are doing that. They're using it for de-plating and recollecting materials that may be on an older piece of equipment. You can recollect the materials and then reuse them, okay?
In fact, up to and including if you have a nickel gun that's really tired, it was a carbon steel gun, it has a nickel finish. What you do is you peel the nickel off rather than trying to fight it, bite it, or whatever, or blast it. Guys, you just pull it off the way it was put on. And the neat part about it is that once you've recollected the nickel, you can turn right around and put it on another weapon, or put it on another part if it's something that needs to be a little slick. And nickel is really great for that.
durability, but most important is a finish, a final finish that requires very little maintenance. Now, chrome will wear, okay, brushed chrome looks like stainless steel, so that's another thing you need to pay attention to. A lot of people, especially in the 80s, were doing nickel plating and then brushed chrome, you know, brushing it, so it's called brushed chrome.
This creates a subdued look much like you see with stainless steel. A lot of people, if they don't really look too carefully at the weapon, may have purchased something assuming that it's stainless when in reality it's a brush chrome gun. Now it's not a problem with regard to operation, but it is something you have to pay attention to with regard to maintenance, specifically lubrication. Okay, so just a heads up on that one.
confirm the finish on the weapon that you have, which may simply be the finish of the metal that the weapon was made out of. But if it says Smith & Wesson Model 10, it ain't no Smith & Wesson 65 or 66. In other words, a Smith & Wesson Model 10 looks like it's a stainless finish. Well, they didn't make any Smith & Wesson Model 10s. They re-nomenclatured with the stainless steel to make a new gun.
And so it's not that if it's a Smith 10 and it looks like it's a looks like it's a stainless complete gun It's probably brush chrome Lures some companies here in Michigan that did phenomenal work did so much of it They became masters of the trade and they took a dominant chunk of the market here in the Midwest Of course, that's back when Michigan was an industrial giant not the not the foreign communist Chinese Patsy-wuss that it is now
So, back in the day, as they say, oh, next. Let's see, there are two or three other things here. Yes, also with the medical, somebody was asking about, yeah, this was actually an email that came in, I believe, last Friday. Today is Thursday. I know it's been a week out. I'm down to way past, way below 1,000 emails left in the machine. In fact, very low. We caught up with everything.
uh... with regard to medical with uh... shop med vet dot com shop med vet dot com shop med vet dot com uh... if you're looking for four by four by fours and such by them in the bulk containers uh... the bulk uh... bundles and they're typically stacked like you see in the hospital though they come both ways to come in smaller boxes or whatever but the cheapest are in the stack bundles like you would typically see in an emergency room where there's
a section of these that are maybe, oh about a foot tall, maybe 14 inches, and it's a solid block of four by's. You can get the two by twos and the four by's in that. The two by twos are considered typically a sponge, but we also use them, well, you use them for smaller wound injury and tape, obviously. Everybody does, I mean, come on, who doesn't?
The big thing here again is take advantage of shot med vet for that volume. And I will remind you that something we need to be prepared for while you also need the penicillin or the again the antibiotics is because we're going to be taking care of these problems ourselves. You're not going to be going to the hospital. The hospital probably will either be A overrun or simply inaccessible.
Now, with that being the case, we need to be able to change out wound dressing. This is where those bulk items come in because it's not just the first time around doing the first aid. It's not just the follow-up, stabilizing and correcting the injuries that have taken place with the patient. But it's replacement, replacement, replacement on a regular basis to reduce the probability of infection.
Remember that the gunk that you see going into the wound dressing is material that the body is needing to evacuate. It would be a threat to you inside your person, but it's also a threat laying on the wound. So you need to evacuate and dispose of, and this is where also treated as a biological hazard it is. Burning is your best choice, but at the very least, biobagging everything.
If you are, by the way, in the field and you have a casualty, you're going to have to carry out what you got unless you conveniently have some kind of stopping. You do have a fire. Yes, you burn whatever you can. But a fire attracts attention. So the basic rule is kind of like if you're speed-lunking, if you have a casualty, you want to compress everything you can. This is why you don't throw out. You're not going to drop any wrappers or anything like that. That's a tell. Your enemy will read if they have good trackers.
So you're going to want to bag out all of the waste material like that from a wound change, you know, wound dressing changes, etc. And any wrappings, whatever, they go in the bag too. I have a suggestion, you can make up a utility bag from the larger industrial bags, cutting them down the big 50 gallons, save the plastic for other work. You can also use
the seal and mule system machines to create the tube bags out of that plastic. Heavy gauge, industrial waste bags, heavy plastic ones are excellent for that purpose. And again, what you want to do is seal them and again, keep them secure until you can get out to an area where they can be dumped, dropped or whatever. But in the field, they're a trace item.
Don't forget that. More junk you leave laying around. If you're a little like a pig pen soldier unit, an aggressor can simply follow your debris across the battlefield, but across the area of operation. So you need to be thinking ahead. These are things that dock, but also every team member needs to assist with.
Doc's got enough of his hands trying to keep your sorry arse alive. You know, you don't need to... and again, he will do the right thing. But you guys all need to carry some of that burden for him so that Doc can focus on keeping you alive. Always remember that. Okay, next. Again, Sy Rovana-Sietz Kan Dula. We'd... maybe some of you have seen his parents by now. I mean, have you seen Sy's parents from the supposed fake-fake attack on the White House?
Now, you might recall the evening that this happened, which is what, a little more than 24 hours ago. He was a white terrorist slash white nationalist slash white racist, etc.
because he had a nasty flag with him, which again, the question is, was he told to pick it up for the propaganda? Or was it dropped by an ADL member who's probably one of the four or five that patrol the perimeter of the White House as part of the kosher mafia's ongoing security slash, you know, take advantage of an opportunity crew?
It doesn't make any difference because if you didn't hear as of today, they dropped all the charges about he was going to kill the president, he was going to get a staff vice president and the family and then blah, blah, blah. Well, they dropped all to again, deprivation of property or what we would call destruction of property. And that's the charge. And apparently they're going to have one more court date here coming up.
So, what's he going to get? Community service? Like somebody's joking already about, what's he going to get? Well, we don't know. But it's rather fascinating that I can only figure that, let's see, they went to the house and he's BLM, pro-antifa, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, but go right down the shopping list. And so all of a sudden, it's, oh, well, he's not important. Let's all forget about it.
So if you haven't seen that, it's kind of fun and entertaining to say the least. And it's kind of what we told you. So I just figured it'd take a little longer. Well, it will because they still have a court date for his destruction of property or, you know, White House grounds. Well, on the edge of, well, way on the outer perfer. Oh, way almost to the street. Heck, it was at the street. Oh, well. So anyway, again, Sahih Varshit Kanh Dula.
Has been decided he's not going to go to you know the concentration camp He's not going to be castrated lobotomized instead He's kind of a court date coming up, and it's for destruction of property He must have got frustrated and pissed and just kept driving into that because he made a wrong turn and whatever crack he got down the road was just a little too much for him or maybe the other half of the Prozac Pod kicked in we don't know
Anyway, so watch that. We have this not finished. We're not gonna just say oh well now let's forget about it. Oh, no, I think we need to keep an eye on these people. We got one that's alive for a change. You know the shooter in Nashville is supposedly dead dead dead. Either that or second pinoc a lot is over on the beaches at you know, Haifa. So anyway, well, Sandy places, maybe not beach.
But as it is, it'll be very interesting to see how this one develops too because very much this has got that stench about it and it looks like the stink is pretty well now confirmed. So again, pay attention. Next, we're at the bottom of the hour. You know what? As a matter of fact, let's do a music request and we talked about it.
But we didn't do it the most recent version of sound of silence and Edward if you could since we were starting to get into the classics and how can you turn them? It's not the VV most recent because there's now two or three other geek bands that have done a version but Remember several years back a very dark version it common a cartoon piece all very dark and evil
was attached to it. So I'll tell you what, that's going to be our bottom of the hour break, sounds of silence. And it's amazing when it's not who they planned on picking up, then the court just goes silent and all the charges just disappear and everybody can see the writing on the wall. So we'll see in a moment, Ed's working, hopefully scrambling as we speak. So I have to fill this in. You're listening to LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com.
libertytreeradio.4mg.com and we are on libertytreeradio.org. When you get to either one, you go into the tags there. The gilded attachment will get you to the ongoing scroll. It's the equivalent to Discord, but since, well, for whatever reason, we're bumped off Discord, who cares? Oh, well. Then Ed was already prepared and gilded, if you see the gilded link, you go there.
It has all of the scroll potential and posting potential. There's a lot of stuff that we did this last 24 hours, but also, for instance, Shelby posted the underground arsenal slash strategic storage site in the salt mine over in the Ukraine. Just to give you a taste of what we talked about. Here we go. We'll be right back. That sounds like two steps from now. The Marten. Not thick. Oh, who do we have? Jump in there.
Yeah, text makes five finger death punch, right? Yeah, you mean the version? Oh, yeah, I think so. Yeah, actually Ed can confirm that. Yeah, what's interesting about that's one of my favorite versions of that. I'm gonna crack your bolt on that. That was disturbed. And that is the one that earlier before we played this version before. But the one that we talked about that we didn't play, because I realized what you were doing after I started it.
Was landed confusion we played the original Genesis version read off the music video But we talked about the disturbed version which is a heavy metal version. This is still disturbed with kids, you know Down with the fishes and the whole bunch of other stuff is like very dark music usually and it's right but it's so out of key for them, you know, because it's They're actually singing it mellow. Oh, no, no, okay Here's the thing. I'm 66 years old, right?
Everybody? I had a teacher. When this music was out, I didn't know what her religiosity was. But we had to, it was part of our poetry and music appreciation, and we literally had to memorize all of Simon and Garfunkel's music. I didn't know what the hell we were doing, and I realized afterwards, like, wow.
It's like, okay. And it's like, say, because for her, and you know how it is, you don't really, you think teachers, you're adults, they're following them because they know what they're doing. And in reality, it was just that she just loves having a garfonco in one way or another. She was going to incorporate them into the class. And by God, we, she did. I'll tell you what, I'm 66 and I can pretty much remember the worst of every song by heart. And part of it is because, you know, we actually stood up and we read it not, we didn't sing it.
We wrote we read it so in meter form so you know how that is guys is kind of a b c d e you know it's like Instead just you know pick a song throw a dart okay and And it's of course ready by regimen you learn contrary to what they think only in this case who is kind of a carfunkle so But yeah, there's there the interesting thing is it's what we've said before about communication is especially especially with the imagery like this because
The first was kind of a limitation, the way Simon and Garfunkel did it. And this is more of a, I'm coming back to punch you attitude. Okay, like, you know, hey, I'm gonna address it, talk about, show you what I'm talking about, and by the way, I'm getting pumped up with every word, and by the time we get to the end, I'm ready to kick butt, take names, and mop the floor with you. I'm good, then I'm going home, and I'm gonna eat lunch, okay?
So, there are some really, really good cover pieces that have been done with a lot of different music. I know you know I harp on this, but I still think my favorite, Johnny Cash, Further Out Up the Road, best song that I think just fits in the battery of what I look at, you know, what I listen to. And that, the original song, if you listen to...
The original piece and the piece that Johnny Cash did, they're absolutely two different worlds. Springsteen did the original and it's just crap. That's the only way to describe it. It was just not done right. But then Johnny Cash turns around and it turns out it was kind of what I suspected. They finally admitted this in a little interview that basically they just gave Johnny Cash anything and everything. Say, hey, play this, see if you like this, go ahead and run it. And you know, send it back to me.
And he actually did that. So guys, there are songs that you've never heard Johnny Cash sing that he put down on real before he passed away. And they're out there still. I don't know what they're thinking about doing. I'm sure somebody owns the rights. Remember the wife's gone. I think there's still some of the family left. But who knows how they arrange the properties. But what's interesting is they actually acknowledge that with
For instance, Hurt, when he did his version of Hurt. Oh yeah, I heard that, I just had to. But he said, when he did that song, he actually, the guy who had sent him the music, asked him, hey, just do these, do a bunch of these. Just do them and just get them on recording. So since Cash had his own studio, they did everything and then they tweaked them a little bit and came up with the last album that everybody goes, man, that's just like awesome.
Here's the thing. There's other music. Maybe I think they said close to a hundred and sixty or so songs that he did you haven't heard and I'd like to You know, it's like well, he maybe he you know, in other words, whoa Johnny Cash is gone. So he can't do any more music in reality That's not really true. Yes. There's a bunch of music. He may be gone But as much he did you haven't heard and I guarantee was probably just as impressive It's just that well, you only put so many minutes of recording time
in basic technology. I don't care if it's an album or when you switch to cassettes or when you switch to CDs or when you go to whatever, you know, the compression for a basic album has still pretty much stayed the same. So pretty cool music. And again, thank you, Edward, for playing that. And again, that was disturbed, but there are two newer versions that I think if we were to do a search real quick, there are two newer versions that have been done. I don't think they kicked in the way this one did.
everything has its moment, especially if it, if it, if the combination of what is the social order outside at the time clicks with what happens when something is released, sometimes not intentional by the ring knockers, just simply because it fits the moment and people embrace it. There's a lot of stuff, you know, that's where they, we used to be cool as you'd have, you know, guys coming out of nowhere with, you know, sometimes they call them one hit wonders, but they weren't, they actually did more work, but it's, uh,
It's a fascinating cycle. Music is so critical. And again, collect. What I've been doing today, what have I been doing today? Well, a million things, but one of the things that I do constantly is mentally sort out my library, because in fact, I spent so much time, I have to spend so much time in the state. Now, I finally got everything kind of where it's supposed to be, but not yet, because I still got to make a bunch of moves, put everything on the racks where it belongs for the collection that presently I'm dealing with.
and I'll have those several thousand CDs and records and cassettes where they belong, but also sorted out better too. The other thing that I've always thought about is you've got a million hours worth of noise and you couldn't, in theory, I don't think I could live to hear everything I've got now. Couldn't live long enough. So that's another thing is kind of, that's why you always want people, first of all, if you're gonna do this, private libraries are still a better choice.
But you do want people to take advantage of them. You want them to use them. The reason I'm saving what I'm saving is like I've told you already on the air, it's a combination of things. If you're invalid, I have redundant copies of equipment, material and sound noise, so that if the time comes, I could, you know, put you, if you're stuck in a bed and you're in a safe house and you're recuperating, the idea is I can outfit a location.
so that one way or another you aren't just going to be staring at the ceiling counting the seconds and minutes and hours while you lay there in bed. I do not want to see that happen and all you need to be thinking ahead. Books, games, music, I don't care what it is, put a combination. Just get a five gallon pail and start putting stuff in it.
and look at that as your medical support or convalescent support technology. Cards, everybody can find playing cards. If I see a deck of playing cards somebody wants to give away, hell yeah, I'll take them. Where they go, I got three different areas where they go. They go to tactical supply, go to medical supply, or they go to entertainment, rest and recuperation. Because you're not gonna have enough. You have an army of people in one place, you're not gonna have enough of anything.
Even if you have not so much an army, but just a company. If you ever had to support a company of personnel, I fielded up to 600 people that we personally dealt with, took care of as part of, as an integrated combat formation. And the support logistics, 100% from our personal inventory, okay?
And again, I've got plenty of practice at that. So I know it needs to be done, but I also know it could tweak and do better at. So let's listen again before we get hit with the next wave of whatever disaster they're planning. And when we have to deal with it, let's do better. We got the thinkers, they got the stinkers. And since I've been talking so much about it, and I know I've played it recently, and I know Ed's right there.
I am going to enjoy the idea that Ed's going to play Johnny Cash for me and further on up the road. Why? Because we've got enough time to play it and because I like the song so much. And again, because it does say something for you. No matter where you fall, no matter who you are, some point down the road, we're all going to meet again. When time comes, we can all talk about the times we had and the times ahead of us from that point forward. That's why I shut right up.
Where the road is dark and the seat is so Where the gun is cocked as the bullets call Where the miles are marked, each you for the wrong of the road Got on my dead man suit and my smiling skull ring My lucky graveyard boots and a song to sing I got a song to sing
It keeps me out of the cold. Meets you farther on up the road. Farther on up the road, on up the road. Where the way is dark and the night is cold. And sunny morning as I know. And I'll meet you farther on up the road. I've been out in the desert, just doing my time.
Searching through the dust Looking for a sign If there's a light up ahead Well, brother, I don't know But I got this fever burning in my soul
and also up there towards Moscow, north of Moscow actually, up there towards Arbor Springs. Got a big training exercise in Jackson County this weekend. And also they're going to be working with our signal and communications people. So guys, again, if you're a team leader, if you're a fire team leader, if you're a squad leader, straw boss, whatever you're doing, treat this thing seriously because the enemy is in motion and our job is to win.
To do that, remember train as you will fight or you will fight as you have trained. It's just that simple. And real quick also, in personal firearms, something else I want to remind everybody because I've had several people ask me this before, but recently I don't know, it was a little furry, which tells me people got grandpa's guns or something else. But, you know, I've got a revolver. Do you think I should change to something else? Personal flavor choice. Well, if you...
Guys, whatever personal handgun is you've chosen, if you're capable with it and you feel comfortable with it, it'll do the job. The big thing is just master that firearm. With the revolvers, if you're not familiar, and most of you should be, but that doesn't mean that everybody is good about bringing everybody up to speed. You have speed loaders for revolvers. In fact, if you've got a grandpa gun or an inheritance recently, maybe a whole bunch of weapons.
Usually if the person had it and if the cylinder will open up and move away from the frame, you have a number of different companies that produce what we call speed loaders. Now if it's a five shot or a six shot, you need specific speed loaders for the type of wheel gun that you have.
J frames, K frames, L frames, and N frames are the dominant four. But there are even some odd man out speed loaders for like the H&R revolvers. Even the top brakes, the ones that are a 10 shot top brake or the 10 shot with the side drop cylinder, they make 22 caliber speed loaders.
So, in reality, as long as you practice properly utilizing the speed loader, you can pretty well keep up with a guy with a magazine-fed pistol. Now, I will point out there are some new revolvers. There are seven shots. You know, there's five-shot, six-shot, seven-shot revolvers. There are even some odd man out, you know, antiques that are even bigger. But at least likely you're going to have something like that.
So, one of the companies to check out is jgsales.com. If you know what the model of the weapon is you have, you can pick up speed loaders there. HFK, I think they also have Sierra, I think they have a couple different, but they have the entire family line in terms of whatever pistol you have, if it can utilize a speed loader.
Single action revolvers typically can't because they are a fixed wheel, they're a fixed cylinder. They have a loading gate that you pop, you know, you push it sideways. Remember, it opens up the area where you can see the cylinder holes. That is a single action revolver, typically...
And no, there's no such thing as a speed loader. There's you moving faster with your fingers. That's all you can do. Okay, ignore the dog coming. Remember like in the Magnum PI, ignore the dogs, focus on the lock, ignore the dogs. Well, in other words, ignore the dogs, but pay attention. So if you have to hit them with a pistol, but otherwise load the damn gun. Okay, so loading the gun. As it is, what's interesting is
And like with the question, it was a Taurus that one of you was asking about, yes, I carried a Taurus. I carried a Taurus, modeled 66 for years. A six-inch barrel. I used to be a Taurus distributor. When nobody knew what Taurus was. And I'll tell you what, Taurus pistols, the earlier models had a butter action like a Colt, but they were a Smith and Wesson knockoff. And in fact, literally, they are Smith and Wesson of Brazil.
The tooling and machinery that they used for making the Taurus pistols came from the old production machinery that they had slid sideways and south. So in reality, yeah, they were really a Smith & Wesson, but they weren't. They were a Smith & Wesson look-alike, but they do have a different spring, main spring system. They use a coil spring in the...
Taurus's as opposed to the comparable models using the standard leaf which was a Smith and Wesson signature item. So are they a good weapon? Well if you got one of those, I don't care which Taurus it is, they're all well built. They're all built well enough. The basic rule is if you haven't shot a revolver a lot, let me recommend either standard load, if you have a .38, standard load .38 or wadcutter to start with.
If you got a 357 Magnum, I would still recommend a low house load. I mean, you can pretty well buy anything you want for a 357 Magnum. If you can find the ammo right now because everybody's buying it up. But you can use 38 and a 357 Magnum. So you can go with a wadcutter, which is little or no energy.
But it is a beast bullet to hit somebody with. 148-grade wadcutter. As I've told you many times, you can reverse the wadcutter so that the cup base is forward. And that creates a hellacious cart-mouthed hollow point. When it hits, that lid splays open and backwards.
And instead of being 357 diameter, it opens up to about, flattens out on the outer edges, up to about 42, 43 caliber. Depending on what kind of lead you use to cast a bullet or what they made it out of. So, it depends. And again, it's a lead projectile. But the important thing about wadcutter rounds, especially for defense, is if you're in a house, you don't want to go through every room in the house and hit a friendly or hit your neighbors.
The target load is optimal for this because 148 grain if it hits a target, it's going to drop all its energy on what you were shooting at. And that's really what you're looking for. Does it mean that's the only way to go? No, it's not. But there was a lot of research done back in the late 70s through to the, oh, late 80s on this subject. And the debate always is back and forth about the issue of defending yourself and
the scams that the prostitutes would use to try and attack you in court after you defended yourself. And you're seeing this again, just like we saw. You cyclically, prostitutes, I don't care if they're sorrows, prostitutes or not. These asshats have played these games forever because they hate the fact that you survived and you protect yourself and your home. And whenever possible, they will try to hurt you for thinking that your life and your property was worth something.
So the basic rule is they'll try to attack the weapon you use, they'll try to attack the ammunition. But if you're using a 148 grain target load, there's anything anybody can say about it. And semi-wadcutter is just as wicked when it comes to using it on a target. So while it doesn't seem like it would be impressive, if you know what to do with a gun, and you should, if you put the bullet where it belongs, those bullets will do a very fine job of putting the target down.
Now you can use anything you want. Ball ammunition is my personal choice for most everything, but I already told you why. Ball ammunition, if I'm carrying it, means that if somebody says, hey, what do you use it? Throw me a mag. And you throw them a mag, no matter what kind of gun they have, whether it's a condition, ball ammunition works in everything. But that's for some automatic pistols. For revolvers, pretty much anything works.
anything. But the big thing here again is if we're still in the semi-stivalized state right now, which is really very uncivilized liability issues are something you always have to look at because you're the court is the battlefield, the judge, an enemy general, the prostitute, an enemy officer, and your lawyer, an enemy spy, the Erwin Rommel School of Law. Always remember that.
go ahead. Last call before we go. Go ahead. It's time. Yeah, we got you. Go ahead. I just I just want anyone. They're like I have. All of a sudden you went right off to the twilight zone. We repeat that. Whatever it was. You said I'm sure it was important, but we need to hear you. Hearing out. I said I was wondering if everyone can't bear for me.
