He had gotten paid off and they made a whole flurry of these these these arms for the new legions That were organized, but the weapons were you know faulty from the get-go Historically so looks like they had their own room their own roof and was in there open them out. That's right I'm sure is the Blats and Steen you know ill you know under the table armaments was involved Because they were involved in Rome
So what's interesting about this is what we need to know is who is not being bought by the DOD and that's the only people you deal with. See, this is the mistake that's been made. We have, everybody's already finding this out. Okay, Budweiser is kind of like not looking too good right now. Why? Because they made a soft economy and when you make a soft economy, your dollars really, really, really do count people. So right now,
One thing we should be doing is we should not be buying FN. We should not be buying HK. We should not be buying SIG. We should not be buying, I'll go right down to the shop and go, oh, but the army has them. If you really want one, when this thing goes to hell in a hand cart, you can pull one off an enemy combatant because guaranteed
Some foreign soldiers are going to be carrying the same stinking weapon. If not, American forces give orders by foreigners to kill Americans. They've already been bragging up. They want to do it. They're yapping about it in different activities. So guess what? You want to say down the road, not a problem. Don't worry about it. They'll bring it right to you. Yeah. But otherwise, more important is that you have a standard number of arms. I don't know what Glock is doing. Glock would be the one I'd be curious about.
Because for all the weapons made, I'll repeat this again. The Glock actually was made as a combat pistol, guys. It was made as a chuckable throw away, discardable, super cheap weapon that the Austrian government could crank the snot out of in wartime to save the country. That's how it was designed. None of this other, oh, the fighting quality of the Glock, this smooth integrity of blah blah blah, oh, throw it out the window.
Well, what is it? It's a Bugs Bunny conveyor gun. You crank them out and they drop into a box at the end of the conveyor belt and when you're done, you just fish out one out of the box and give it to Bob the cook and Frank the truck driver. And here, if that one breaks, come back and get another one. Or you want to take two, you take two. That's what the Glock was meant for, okay? It's one of the few weapons of all of these things that are floating around that really was meant to be a classic combat discardable arm.
Because it has to be perishable. It has to be you know, you have to accept the idea you're gonna lose things So since they're gonna lose things how about we make it so cheap. We don't cry when we lose them We can get another one and another one and a whole bucket of them I do have a whole bucket of right here's ours. You see like the that's like the SKS mark. It's basically it's a ball peen hammer Tell the story about the mama saun at the end of the
conveyor with the SKS's? Our friends right here in Detroit were one of the biggest importers of the SKS back when it was $56. In fact, in reality, they made the $56 rifle price. And I've told you many times, they paid between $9 and $11 per rifle. So they made 400% profit on the gun.
Kind of figures of some shipping per weapon. It wasn't that expensive, but you know they made 400% at $56 it was like how much of profit do I need? In other words if I make if I make 400% profit I go back and buy a whole pile more and sell more to Americans Which is what they did, but after the first batch they went over
Initially, they bought it with the usual contract deals and they looked at them, but they didn't go to the facilities. Well, they went to the facilities and the SKS literally, he said it looked like you were in a coal scuttle. I've been in factories like this years ago, but one of them was still standing until last year, where when you get into the winter, there's no heat.
The windows are the classic window factory windows to let in light, but they're all grayed over with soot. The corners are a foot and a half out. They're not corners. The ground is rounded with industrial filings and soot, right? Only this thing was the size of a Ford factory building that he went into. And there was this conveyor belt, literally, going down this, it was a classic old-style manual production line.
And they're bringing parts, those SKSSU all bought were A, guns that were reserved guns, or B, later on they didn't think anybody wanted them, they had billions of parts. So they put this factory together and then barely this factory, they started it up because they'd been there forever. Okay, it was just ancient.
But it was ancient because nobody did any maintenance nobody picked up a shovel and clean things They've just left away was so here they are with these fluorescent lights over top of each of the workstations And they're throwing these sks together and they're coming down the conveyor and they're dropping on the ground in a pile like corn cobs Assembled and there's this old mama's on with a with a stogie a rope stogie Yeah, guys if you Filipinos love doing that hemp rope. They'll you take a cut a piece of hemp rope and
Put it in your mouth, light it up, you got yourself a poor man's cigar. So here's this old mama's son, she looks like an old hardened, you know, drill sergeant. And she's slapping those SKS's around and checking the action, making sure everything works and then she's throwing them to another or she doing herself, they're putting them in the crate. There's a couple of them working on putting them in the crates that you guys got them in. And then they're nailing them shut, going in a pile.
And that's it. That was your SKS. It came right off the end of that production line. The later ones especially, because they were doing pinned barrels. They weren't doing threaded barrels. You'll notice some of your SKS, well not some, a whole bunch of them, had your AKs too. And they probably came off, those AKs, probably came off that same stinking line. Yeah, mine's got a pinned barrel. Yeah, crude, rude, and fast. And you know what? I wouldn't hesitate to shoot an SKS with a pinned barrel or an AK, because we have too many of them.
They work just fine. In fact, if we were building coming up, I wouldn't buy most of the crap we're building right now. Polymer guns are useless for the kind of war we're coming into. Does everybody understand that? That's the only thing about the Glock. We can't make the Glock. We can make the Glock frame in a dozen other materials, but we're not going to make it out of plastic. The support technology for the plastic is actually much more tedious than machining processes.
Now we're still going to have to cast, I would rather cast a rough frame, or, because we're not going to do forgings, we might be able to in some places, but we're going to be casting. But the Glock is a very...
Useful device, it's proven to us that if I can make a frame out of plastic, I should be able to make that same frame out of pot metal. I should be able to make it out of brass. I should be able to make it out of aluminum if I want to. We've made a shit load of aluminum firearms, aluminum frame weapons. There was a window where, oh boy, aluminum, aircraft aluminum was the wonder metal. Everything from stars to Smith and Wesson's to even some Colt's.
all kinds of air weight guns, okay? But the Glock has proven that, you know, no, doesn't all need to be made out of metal. In fact, basically, like I've told you, look at the Glock, you can make the Confederate version, where you make the lower receiver in whatever pop metal you got in the uppers from whatever parts you can, you know, accumulator, if you had to build it, you could, you know, finish it up quick and be done, crude it out more. The other option is going high point. But the high point frame is polymer.
However, I would say it's a cruder polymer. And yet, both of those weapons are talking about operates. So if they operate with that, they'd operate in other materials. So we could actually use them as a baseline idea for manufacturing a handgun that would be sufficient for combat operations, provide personal defense at close quarters, and again, we wouldn't cry if we lost it because it didn't cost us that much to make in the first place.
Which is our biggest consideration in preparation or thinking ahead for what's coming Right now this whole story my biggest concern is I want to know who it is that is not Getting government money. I do need to know who but I want to do business only with the people who are not they deserve our money They're Americans, right? Whoever is going along with this aren't Americans So we need to find out who it is who's who in the zoo?
and ask specific questions. Well, I'm going to be talking to some people this week at different locations and I'm going to just flat out ask them, hey, are you guys on any kind of Fed contracts or anything? Well, no. As a matter of fact, you know, we don't have any. If they beat around the bush, that'll tell you they probably do, but they're trying to figure out how to come up with a politically correct answer. If somebody can't answer, it's because they've been told they can't talk about it, which means yes, they do.
Otherwise they're just gonna say oh hell no. I mean there's certain companies I know years ago that here you know, you government work Oh hell no, you know what kind of BS you got to go through for that Seriously, you know real quick. It's kind of like I've told you guys for years, you know, let me give me an example how you can have an attitude forever guys You everybody know marathon oil company Good does everybody out there know who marathon oil is how many you've ever bought gas at marathon?
You all buy at least once or you know in fact you should be buying more often from Marathon Because Marathon is not like and does not like the the government it especially doesn't like the DoD Well Lord of big picture. No no no no no no no you understand Marathon years ago Was dealing with the government and guess what they found out what kind of backstabbing conniving rats they are
And because of some of the scurrilous stuff that the Donut of Destruction did, Marathon decided that in no way in hell are they gonna do business with the DOD in any way, shape, or form. If you have a military vehicle, and I know we're all gonna be patriotic, this and patriotic, in peacetime, if you pull a US military sedan, you got a problem, you go into, even if you, most of them if they're private, the owner which they are,
and you pull it on to the property and you go get gas, that's not a problem. They don't like that because they'll take your money because they like your money, but they don't like you. But if you try to park a vehicle in that little parking lot they have, they don't have much of a parking space. They're not a really big, typically they're not big gas stations. What are you parking here for? Well, I got a problem with the engine overheating. You need to get this vehicle out of here. What?
I've got somebody coming for, okay, I'm going to give you so many hours and if not, I'm going to have it towed away. How do I know this conversation? I've had it before. And one of the reasons is again, I was like, I had this one older major with me and everybody else was wanting to bail out because the sedan was broken down. We were coming back from an inspection from up in Flint, Michigan.
And I signed out for the vehicle so it was like it didn't make any difference. So it was like, oh God, you got a problem with the radiator. It's the end of the day. So I pulled into the marathon station. And the old major that was there, he was waiting. I said, oh, there ain't no sense in everybody sticking around. If you can get somebody to come pick you up, you might as well leave. It wasn't really a bad part of town or anything. Well, not back then. At least that part wasn't. The rest of it is.
But what was interesting is he goes, don't you know about marathons? No, he says, oh, there's no love lost between Marathon Oil Company and the Department of Defense. The Department of Defense screwed them over big time, and they've never forgiven them. And they will not do business with the DOD. They will not do any business with the DOD.
And by the way, they wouldn't care. They just don't care. And it's interesting that it's part of what is known within the industry. If you own a marathon, you know the history of all of that. And it's part of you doing business with a marathon. So I think it's rather interesting. So again, don't say your money doesn't count. Because we can deny them the resource. The most recent example is this Budweiser scam.
For whatever reason maybe they wanted to find an excuse for you know sinking the boat who knows Budweiser is an icon thing you brought a blood like I said how many movies you hear that brother boy And it's of course usually military movies where they get that little bud thing in there Well with what they just did they took an icon company and basically blew a hole in the bottom of the boat with a 12 gauge And I don't think that's really an accident go ahead jump in there
Yeah, I saw somewhere that in Budweiser tried to go to Sturgis and they ran kind of turned their back on them and ran them out of there Sturgis. I don't think they want to be known as the girly guys. That makes sense. You know what I mean? So, yeah, well go ahead. Yeah, and I had another question for you. I don't know if you've Have you heard this new song that's putting the Aldean song to shame?
It's by a guy named Oliver, Oliver something but it's called Rich Men North of Richmond. And I'll tell you what, we haven't played that. We haven't bothered about it, we haven't bothered about our music request but that's a good point. Rich Men North of Richmond. I saw, I've seen it, I actually haven't watched it again but I watched it, I did catch it over the weekend so I know which one you're talking about.
I'll tell you what, Ed, if you could dig that song up, we might as well throw in there. We need to also throw in the... We need to double tap it. Hey, we can do that. We own the network. So we might do both. It wouldn't hurt. Richmond, north of Richmond. And then, let's play, try that in a small town. Let's not lose one just because we got more ammunition. Remember, you need a full revolver, right guys? You need a full magazine for your gun.
What we need to be doing is collecting and reinforcing all of them and in fact kind of like what I'm talking about doing here We need to play one and then by the way remind everybody you know what we got we got all kinds of great music showing up here and Everybody needs to promote these younger the younger musicians Which by the way if you'll notice also have more of the traditional Western real Country sound that's the other thing I've noticed about the music at least most of it
We'll see how that works and anything else Tex Max jump in there, please. It's probably looking for the song I hope yeah, the This song just came out over the week. The the guy is He's just a I think he's got like a hundred acres somewhere in West Virginia I mean you can't get any more country than being from West Virginia. I know that much And you know he supposedly lives off-grid and got three dogs and I mean he just
He's been working, you know, I mean the guy is not only did he write the song but he's lived it I mean it's it's something that's in him and you could tell you can tell if you listen to the lyrics and he puts so much Stuff in a and a song that's less than four minutes. It's it's pretty good. Really the money Yeah Well, you know, it's kind of that line being drawn because rich men north of Richmond
As we all know, Richmond was the capital of the old south during the northern war of aggression. And so there's a lot of reference here tied in, you know, one to the other, which is kind of cool. But the big thing here again is the characters, our enemy is collected in a very narrow, very tight block. And
Interestingly enough, they're not as big as they're trying to imply they are. And the population grossly outnumbers them. Which is why they're trying desperately to divide as much as they can. Everybody gets on the right page, focuses properly. Like I said, we can end this war in a reasonable period of time. But I ain't gonna promise being home by Christmas. You won't ever hear me say that. It's just, when we have to fight, it's gonna be a long one.
But we're going to shorten it as best we can. The sooner everybody gets on the bandwagon to deal with the problem and clean the country out, better off we'll be. You want it over? You got to fight harder. It's just all there is to it. And you're going to have to be up to it. Be home by Christmas. Yeah, we'll be eventually home by Christmas. It just may not be this one, son. That's all. It just won't be this one. But I think we can handle that. And again, we have no choice.
This can't go on or as far as I'm concerned. I I think the big I think it's becoming a joke I'll tie in I'll tie in something else here real quick They're now talking about the I've been asking the question Would you vote for Donald Trump if he was in jail? Me personally If they really want to get this thing, I mean everybody goes yeah, they want a war No, they want a riot. They think that we're going to riot the thing that you saw in Washington
was fabricated by the regime as creating a riotous condition because people did not think and the people that were willing to follow that track are people that again played into the guys playing into the game now we're talking about a war talking about a conflict and a whole lot of people can see beyond the shadow of a doubt that the level of
criminality on the part of the people and the regime is so vast that this is gonna have to be scrubbed out of the country. It cannot be, it cannot by conversation be taken out of this nation. So we are inevitably headed towards a conflict that must be fought to save the country. It's that simple. And the idea that, yeah, I vote for Donald Trump if he was in prison.
To be quite honest, under those circumstances, should he allow that to happen. As far as I'm concerned, that's just me. I mean, and you know my feelings about Donald Trump. If you think I'm a Trump fan, I'm a realist, okay? Mr. Trump did a whole bunch of stuff that he should not have done. And don't give me any excuse crap where, oh no, he's gonna be different next time. No, I don't think he will be.
But the idea that you have these two major power factions willing to go to such an extreme that publicly they have destroyed the confidence in the mechanism, in the hopes that they could burn the mechanism down, rather than the idea that we step forward with a solution. A, we shoot their sorry ass out of here, and B, we get on with life.
It's that abbreviated, it's that obvious that that is what is going to have to be done. We're going to have to get rid of any of these asshats that have been these fellow travelers for way too long allowed to function inside the United States against the values and interests of the American people. And granted, there's a whole bunch of stupid things that have influenced the population. Well, I mean, there's a percentage, well, any number of things, but with the garbage going on, especially with
the social media propaganda and scams that are plugged in, people are distracted into some really twisted and bizarre situations. But the overwhelming majority of the population knows and sees the problem. They know what's going on and they also know inevitably what the solution is going to have to be. Everybody is trying to, because of their age,
believe that well, we've never seen this before and so if we just if we just do this again and again, oh and again and again the somehow it'll be fixed well that again and again repeat thing is the insanity kicking in and we can't be part of that so we have to get rid of this problem we are going to have to fight now if Mr. Trump were to be put into jail everybody is saying flat out well not everybody but I I do not doubt
That people would vote for him anyway What I'd be fascinating is how would you know how they're going to either react or respond when the machine ignores them? Which they already did the last time there was blatant blatant thievery on a level that never in our lifetime We've seen never but it tells you that they're you know again the writing is not the wall They already they already finished that one. They're on to another one
And in other words, that game has already been played out to the point where I have no confidence in anything on the horizon being anything in the way of the solution from the proposed system because they've already demonstrated thievery, lying, and criminality is their benchmark. It's not the exception. So you're going, if you're smart, you'll be preparing for war. We are going to have to protect each other.
I, you know, it's interesting, I was waiting to see how many, not everybody's picked up, a lot of people actually bit down properly on this thing that happened with this guy that was killed out in Utah. So they've had to kind of shut up about it because they're trying to, you know, use it for propaganda in one direction and all they did is piss people off more because everybody, again, knows better. I don't have any confidence that anything was generated about what they claimed with him. And you shouldn't either.
Even if this was 20 years ago, I'd tell you that even was 30 years, especially just 30 years ago, I would tell you that because they flat out lied about virtually everything that was presented in the public media. So if you think it's something new that the public media is doing this, it is not. They have they have done this for decades.
So, the only thing that for sure is, they were trying, the reason they wanted to give it publicity initially is they thought that it would get everybody to cow down because that's what they're looking for, is for people to grovel. But instead, and I will point this out again, you all need to have a plan if they attack your brother, or they attack your uncle, they attack your dad. You people all have to have a plan to mobilize, engage, and destroy the enemy.
If they want to come out, I didn't put a bandit in my house and run it out there. They want to come out, then we've got to make sure they don't go home. It's just that simple. They're finished. That's it. You're done. And don't shed a tear. Don't do any kind of qualifying or apologizing. There's absolutely no need for it. And that's the most common mistake made. Oh, well, you know, we'd have to. I don't want to. I actually do.
It's a needful thing. We have to do this. There are a number of reasons, but number one is we apologize. We should have taken care of this back in the early 90s. We would have been done with it. Might not have survived the end of it. Maybe, maybe not. Act a god thing. Don't know. Fickle finger of fate. But you know what? We'd be past it. Long past it's 2023. We should have finished it in 94. It had gone on for however many years, and we would have been finished now.
Well, the next generation is, and it is, the next generation is going to have to step up to the plate. We'll be right there, but everybody needs to be prepared. They attack a friend of yours like that. Remember, put a bullet right in their crotch. Right from behind. First thing they should find is that one guy that's got his new, his new bele hanglies pulled out through that big gape and hold the sides of a bottle fist right at groin level. And he's kind of thrashing and screaming because he won't die right away.
But by the time they realize that that first hit has been made that's when the second third fifth tenth twentieth bullet should already be sailing in on the other targets Everybody else is doing their part that nothing but a rumor of their destruction to return to where they came from That should be your attitude better be your attitude. It's all there is to it where we are. Oh hold on here I I've got a clock that really pisses me off here because I cannot been able to reset it and it's one of those
technical things, technology things that it's supposed to already be. It's self-adjusting. So it is 645 and if we could, music request. Let's see, what is it? Richmond, north of Richmond. It is a single.
That has been done by a young man. I believe he's got red beard if I have I do see him properly I've vision a very small screen very big voice But if we could it's out there. I know it's floating around if you can dig it out of the system Let's see if we can play it before we get to the top of the hour here Yeah, man Yeah, he went ginger
He's a ginger and he's got his first name. Oliver Anthony. So he's in big trouble.
When it's in motion now, they don't forget about the first one. Point of impact is indefinite. So take advantage of all the tools you got. Start stacking them. Like I said, this is the modern wave.
That is useful somebody read who wanted to reintroduce Carl Klein's music or throw it in the mix with these Same with Steve Ross pieces that have been done Think about it. You take these two pieces Do a little bit of a music mix throw it up there for people to hear and they go who's that other guy? That's Carl Klein Rock them in their ivory towers Hmm think about that one or wherever
This is anything in the shuffle, just a reverse. Use every weapon, reinforce, reinforce, back, we'll put one out there to back the other one up. We got enough time just to put an Earl Clang in there and I mentioned it already, rock them in their ivory towers. So we got one, we got two. Now this is not a new song, but what you do is you mix a couple of the pieces in there.
And try this in a small town, rock them in your in their ivory towers, Richmond, north of Richmond. And take your pick, there's a couple of pieces from Carl Clang. Let's see, Renegades. Renegades, see, no, we're not gonna do Renegades. We're gonna do rock them in their ivory towers. That's what we're gonna do next. We got just enough time to fit it in and still enough time for me to squawk after it's done. So that'll work out pretty well for us, hopefully.
It's scrambling, oh god, last minute before we go. But for everybody out there, again, take the time and share, share, share. Right now, this is Carl Plang, rock them in their ivory towers. So everybody out there, again, be creative. There's a whole bunch of other Patriot music out there. Don't forget Dave and company. In fact, we, in fact, just had some communication on that subject right there with music.
to probably deal with that when we go to break here and I'm off for an hour. See if I can maybe in the last minute drag somebody up on the air here with us for a little while. For everybody out there again, don't forget to organize, arm equip, and train as militia. Establish a 5-10 program in your area of operations. Logistics, the key to victory if you understand how to win, you have to understand to get what you need, where you need it. In a timely fashion, pre-deployment still being your first best choice.
Think ahead, know where it needs to be, and work go from there. Go ahead, jump in there, caller. Did Nancy show you the results I found for the Daytrix lifeboat rations? No, I'll go out and check the... Oh, there's a guy. The first one I found, it was a five pack of 3600 calories, so it's 3A. It worked out to 39 bucks for five of them, so that was seven and change.
I found a 10-pack for $70. That's the cheapest I found. So that's 10 times a three-day supply, 10 times 3,600 calories. That works out to like $2.34 per day, which I thought was pretty cheap. Yeah, actually. It was $750 apiece for the 3,600 pack. I don't want to call them a three-day because it's
You know, it's one pack. It's 1200 calories a day. It's supposed to be three days worth. So I'm calling it a three-day pack. So $7 apiece. Which again, this is compressed. The stuff is... Yeah, if you've never seen this, remember this food is a little denser. So it's deceptive. You would date smaller, takes up less space. But it is... they're high concentrate.
food blocks, the way you're supposed to use them. It's kind of like the old military axiom, throw everything you can in. Calories and minerals. And so I think it's really, well of course it is a kind of a shortbread, is the way what they describe it as. But it's really a lot more than that. It's a very dense food stuff. And if you take your time eating it and you have water, the big thing is you better make sure you've got water.
But as long as you're taking care of the hydration issues This is a either a a great cash solution. You're gonna put something into cash There's a couple items and that's one of them that works really well So it's something everybody has to be seriously basically 30 days for one person for 70 bucks Yeah, you know or 10 days for three people They're claiming. It's not a thirst promoting
No, but you still want water because okay, here's the problem with the water issue is the it's not that goes into It's that goes out to but he needs to remember that you know first of all both the old rations were designed to slow down your metabolism Certain the fact the combinations of the food everybody wondered why some of the stuff was put together
Well, because they aren't just worried about getting calories into you. They're worried about whatever they put in you better be able to come out the other end with a minimal discomfort or end issues. This is why there's always a diuretic in every one of the ration packs. What do you mean by that Mark? Coffee. What do you think they put coffee packs in there? Well, yes, certainly we have an addiction. But the other part about that in the big formula...
is coffee is used as a diuretic to help create stability, you know, consistency with regard to bowel movements. It's part of the formula. So remember water is too. If you can eat these dry, they're very oily. I mean, what they're dense. And part of it is the materials and the oils from the materials are not extracted like a lot of other food products. And then they still claim that something's in there that's not.
when you get these types of rations, every actual component of the nut or the fruit or the material is left in there. And because of that, you have the full spectrum of materials that are needed for you to continue to function, be regular, which is especially critical to operation. So, well, let me put it this way. That's such an issue that you go to civil defense,
Guys, you ever wondered why they had those big bottles of... First of all, they got big bottles of anti-diuretic medicine. And then they've got big bottles of anti-constipation. It's like, you know, tablets for, you know, freeing the system up. Because people are not used to the... when you switch out to a military or a civil defense ration like that, the bodies, you know, many people respond differently because it's nowhere near the type of
food intake that they were involved with before. So they had, they already understood this, they did all kinds of studies. Most of those studies came from the Donate of Destruction, which used to be called the War Department, and they pretty well figured out what they needed to do. So this is, now these are an excellent solution. What I normally do is put one pack of these in my backpack. That's a standard, like, block of food that's in every one of my backpacks.
In addition to MREs, which we got some hellacious deals in the last several years on MREs, we bought a couple of places out as a matter of fact. But I also have, for instance, food tabs. I've mentioned many times. And also other items that we've picked up over the years, and I made standard, that are unique, odd food angles to go. And then, plus we also have home dried, we have freeze dried.
So, it's a combination. And that's the big thing, I think the key to this too is understanding combining the different survival slash food resources, which also helps to change up and work the metabolism, which is something you need to think about. Yeah, they can't be thirst producing because you're on a lifeboat. Where is this water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink? Remember, that's a classic axiom.

We're a good friend, a VA case for what he's seven years, down there in Dickerson, Texas. And today, helping us out, it is Spike Timmons over there in Fort Wayne, Indiana. And of course, he got his show just before this one, Hammering the New World Order. Today, we do have a slightly different show. Henry has the day off. So if he's listening in, Henry and Laura, we do hope you enjoy your day off. They're actually going to be off today and tomorrow, from my understanding. And Henry has asked me to run the show. And of course,
Ed is handling the main mixing board, the show mixing board down there in Dickerson, Texas, and Spike has generously offered to help by handling the shows console board because I don't have that. So Spike's helping out with that. And again, thank you so much again Spike for helping us out here because I can't do that. But Spike is handling that portion of it.
So, today's show is going to be a little unusual. Number one, I don't have the intro script that you usually hear Henry read. I have a script that you always hear me do at the bottom of the hour or at the beginning of the tactical report or when we come back in after the tactical report. I have that script, but I don't have the script that Henry usually mentions. Do you have it, Spike? I have my own script. If you want to run that script, that's fine. It's just I don't have Henry's script.
script and I never really thought about writing it down because he mentions several different items to make sure he's given credit to Liberty True Radio and so forth, which I would hate to cheat them out of, but I don't have that. Do you have that script? You're doing fine. Okay, all right. Well, thank you so much. And again, my hat's off to Spike for stepping up because he's got his own show to run. And as I've said, these shows are quite intensive in your time and it's not even the hour or two hours that these shows run.
But there's a lot of background time that goes into these shows before and after. So, you know, Spike's already got his own show that he does and they also does the mixing board for other shows. So hats off to them for everything they're helping out with today. So Henry can get a day off because we know that both Henry and Laura have really committed their lives to...
Making this broadcast the best broadcast there is or trying to make it the best broadcast there is and it can get overwhelming sometimes and there's nobody there to give him a day day off well except for me spiking out here and that's what we're trying to do so Henry and if you're doing any fishing I hope you caught a big one. Anyway today. I do have a special guest We were planning this regardless of whether Henry had taken the day off or not and as we're gonna bring up somebody from
a site called Amateur Radio Supplies and he's a specialist in communication gears and I've had several conversations with this guy and he's going to help inform us about what are all the basics of wireless communication. In fact, I don't know if Steve's there. Let me double check. Steve, are you on the line with us? Steve, are you there?
Because I had given him the calling number and we made sure we got the time differentials straightened out because he's actually in a different part of the country. Hit your star six to unmute. If you came up Steve, yes, you do have to hit the star six to unmute.
I did hear him at the beginning of the broadcast. I know he's there. I heard him at the beginning of the broadcast say, I got back through here because we're going to be going on the air. Okay. All right. Well, we'll have Spike. Do you have the commercial breaks that are coming up? Yes, I do. All right. You want to run those and when we come back, we'll see if he's on the air. If he is, then we'll run with that guest program. And if he isn't, well, it looks like me and you are going to have to come up with something real quick, Spike. Is he in Missouri?
I believe he's in Missouri. Actually, I'm not sure what state he's in. He just hung up and he's going to call right back. I think he couldn't get his phone to unmute. Ah, okay. Well, I don't have some time, so... He'll probably call right back. Okay. And that's a good thing. Because I know it's... these phone systems work weird. I'm not sure if, you know, there was some background noise and he hit his star six and cut it out and then couldn't get unmuted. Sometimes it freezes up.
And sometimes if the board operator mutes you like if me or Ed mutes the phone, for some reason it won't let the person on the other end, star six and unmute. Doesn't happen that way all the time, but once in a while it does. So hopefully he'll call back in here in just a second. That line that just hung up was in Missouri. Okay, that was probably a sleeve. I forgot. He mentioned what state he was in and then I just quickly said, oh by the way, what time zone are you? And he says, one central.
So I said, okay, you're an owl behind us, so when I start at three, it's two o'clock your time. But anyway, just in case Steve does get back up here, basically what I asked Steve to do, and I had bought a portable.
that is a mobile antenna system, long range antenna system for my CB, regular citizens band, radio, no one to forty channels, but this was a nice little unit that is folded up in this nice little weatherproof carry bag and the whole bag when it's folded up and everything isn't but about thirty inches tall, but when you set the whole thing up you've got about probably close to eighteen to twenty feet of antenna up there in the air. And it's a really nice unit because not only does it handle CB,
but it handles some other frequencies outside the CB range for other radios I have. So it was the idea that if you're going to do a bug out and you want to have some long range capability even with a low wattage CB, which most CBs only four or five watts, this was a perfect antenna system for that. And I started having to talk with him and I explained who I was with the show and I says, gee, you know.
Everyone loves the idea of wireless communications, but the fact is very few people actually understand even some of the most basic particulars about it. Would you mind coming on the radio show and explaining a little bit of these basics? And of course, Steve fully agreed to do that. So I heard so many things. Is that you, Steve? Absolutely, yes. Oh, right. Wow. But I am now redialed and I unmuted the line properly, so I'm happy to be here today.
Okay, well great to have you. I'm glad you can make it and I'm glad you could get through because even sometimes when you want to make it, sometimes we have a problem with the call line as me and Steve had talked about offline. But anyway, Steve, I'm going to just do a very quick introduction and I would like you to, again, explain who you are. You can, your name, your site, what did you do, and then we'll get into some basics. And every now and then you may hear me stop you and ask a particular question just to emphasize
Whatever it is concerned you're addressing because as far as I can tell there's four basic topics or I'm not sure how to say probably just four basic
areas of understanding people need to have wireless communication and that is of course number one is going to be the rig itself your communication radio. Number two would be the antenna system and the cable going to the antenna system and that's part of something that people tend to overlook so you got the antenna, the cable going to your antenna, the rig and of course your power supply because if you're in a situation where well
The dude is hit the fan and you can't just plug into your wall outlet there. You know how you power your rig up becomes a concern and how long will it last and so forth. So that is always part of your concern especially if you want to be highly mobile. So anyway Steve, can you give us a little bit about yourself and your website, amateur radio supplies and how long you've been in business, how long you've been doing this.
And what are some of the concerns that you have that you actually emphasize that people should be equipped with wireless communication abilities at almost any time now that they may need it? Absolutely. We'd be happy to help inform everyone about the purpose, which is typically where we start. We have all the technical that's available out there. And what is the purpose?
of the comms system. Well, the very first thing that many people think of when they go into a hostile situation or into an unknown situation where nothing is known is, well, where's the scout? What's he seeing? Well, that, of course, is comms. You don't want everyone to hear the answer to that question that he's gone to find or that
What is the communication method that can travel through the mountain or in this case over the mountain? That's a couple of things that I will address. The purpose, one, obviously if you yourself are in a stranded situation in a snowstorm,
of blizzard. Power is out such as when the tornadoes went through Joplin. The floods came through New Orleans. Over a quarter of a million people then also during a tsunami died and there was a lack of communications. What is the comms for? One of the fun things that we get to do sometimes is we get to sit back and watch TV and see how things play out. There is one particular show that just
started up again, it was 24, Jack Bauer. The first thing he did when he got out of his situation was seek out comms. A lot of times it's more important to be able to hide from the 50 than find the 50. And so the comms are the backbone of any emergency or responders. And these comms come in the form of CB, which many people have been very familiar with.
to amateur radio and beyond. Myself, I started in 1979 with my comm systems and being prepared for what may happen. Since that time, there have been many situations to which I have responded, been a first responder. There is organized efforts that are nationwide, one of which we will talk about is next week.
And just to let you wrap it tight, there will be, just like last year, last year there were over 20,000 people at this three-day event. We'll be talking about that shortly as well. It's one of the few civilian events throughout the nation that actually there is a declared no-fly zone over. So we'll discuss that as well. All right, so purpose, purpose.
purpose. That's what is your purpose. Well, you know, there's three basic purposes. One, survival. The second one is survival. And the third one is have some fun. That's what the amateur radio aspect does bring to those three things. We get a lot of different people. One perspective, one mindset that permeates throughout the hobby and that is, have some fun but be prepared to survive.
and help others as well. It's a neat thing to be able to help others. My company, we officially formed a company. We do pay the taxes to the IRS. We stay on the straight and narrow with all of our equipment that we build. The name of it is Alpha Antenna, A-L-P-H-A, Antenna. And we sort of chose that name because it stands for a few things.
It's the beginning. And when you start looking for what's out there, the first thing you do, you look for what is the beginning of things. It also stands for the best. And we try to hire the best people, people that have very good, you can trust. And we do have those individuals that work here. I own a company, before it was established in 2005, on our retail website.
which is clickable from just any internet browser. That website is amateurradiostore.com. So if you go to amateuradiastore.com or if you go to alphaintenna.com, you'll see a bunch of the pictures and videos from YouTube of some of these things in operation.
The one that I wanted to address today addresses pretty much all of the different situations that can be thrown at you. And this particular antenna works on CB. It works for amateur radio. It works for shortwave. It's pretty much an all-around system no matter you find yourself in. And that is our easy military antenna. That one right there is
The one that is the most versatile, it goes in a bag about 16 inches long. So you don't have to have a huge amount of space to take it up in your go bag. So, a little bit of go, we had the radio, antenna, cable and power brought up. The radio is an interesting, but first is the power.
consider how much power your radio is going to use. A 5.5 CV radio is good for, you know, the 11 to 15, maybe 30 mile at most, unless you have a linear which talks more power. The radio itself, whether you have one of the Citizen Band or an amateur radio, has a lot of capabilities.
The more expensive radio you buy doesn't necessarily mean you get a better radio. Can I ask you just to make a distinction, what's the difference between a Citizen's Band radio and an amateur radio because you keep mentioning them as two different classes of radio. The Citizen's Band radio, it has basically 40 channels. Most people have used it, seen it, watched a TV show. It has 40 channels.
The equivalent if we interpreted what the amateur radio has in channels, it would be thousands upon thousands of channels. And so that's really the stark difference. Other than with amateur radio, you can communicate worldwide. Or if your CV is going to be a fairly local range with that low power. Even with low power in amateur radio, you can communicate worldwide.
And with amateur radio, it can be throttled back to communicate just stateside or within a 5-20 mile radius, depending on how many people you don't want to hear you. And that becomes sort of the key. How many people don't you want to be able to hear you? With the amateur radio, you can throttle the power from just a few milliwatts rather than 5 watts, you know, is what the standard TV radio is, 4.5 watts maybe, up to 100 watts.
inside just one radio. No amplifier needed. So start looking at, you know, 15 minutes of popcorn. Your money is better well-sent on the amateur radio. You can buy some good radios at what are called hamfests. Hamfests are gatherings of people with like mind in the emergency communications field. There you'll find in the form of many different forms, from solar that recharges
or maintain batteries to standard gas generator, where you're going to get the gas from, you know, when everything gets to the fan. And then you got your people that run 24-7 like we do here, off of simply solar. You shove off the grid with all your communications, with all the, whatever you would use. Interesting scenario is, what if you go from nothing? You show off your batteries are dead. It's the same thing as showing up and your guns have no bullets.
It's at the equivalent. Your power, your battery, your power source, your bullets, or your radios. How you use them. It's what serves the purpose. So we stand by the solar decision that we've done everything from portable to permanently fixed on our building. The cable, there is a cable that goes from the radio to the antenna. The standard has a rating of something called 50 ohms.
Well, everybody in the industry is standardized on that number. That isn't a hard thing to find, but it's not the kind that you have in your walls for your cable TV, which is coax as well. It just has a different number assigned to it. It happens to be 75 ohms typically. It won't work for a radio. You have to buy the special coax for radios. These ham sets can be very helpful.
to an individual starting out. They're in pretty much every city and I can guarantee you there are amateur radio operators, what these individuals that use these ham radios are called amateur radio operators, in every city in the country. You will be hard pressed not to find one and find one ready to help. Now the antenna. The antenna is an interesting topic which we'll cover here shortly. But I want to
Let's go back to this event that I had mentioned a moment ago. I was taking a look at exactly 24,542 people of LifeMind attended what is called the Hamvention in 2013. Next week, from May 16th through May 18th, in Dayton, Ohio, there is going to be this gathering again where
actually there is a no-fly zone declared over this place. The reason for that is, no-fly zone is because there are balloon launches that go to ultra-high altitudes and we launch basically low-orbiting satellites for communication purposes. This hobby has satellites in space that are used and deployed and used for communications, emergency and otherwise.
It's a lot of fun. There's all kinds of aspects. The neat thing about your own radio and comm system is you get rid of the cell phone provider and nobody can hear what you're saying. We all know that the cell phone conversations are kept recorded text messages stored, logged. Your caller ID is on everybody's cell phone bill that you call. Those are all usable with or without. I don't know any type of court injunction, but I'm no lawyer.
used for, only our imaginations can cause those nightmares. Your own communication system, not just system, a system of communications that has been established for over a hundred years, individuals that I'm talking about are licensed, either licensed operators that learn how to use the equipment, that learn the terminology that I've been using today. There are classes and almost every
medium to large city available to learn about the aspects of EMCOM, Emergency Communications or EMCOM, provide services to the Red Cross, Salvation Army, U.S. Government and foreign entities when necessary. We provide that service and there are many people that get computer and that's the emergency response training, badged to go into disaster zones.
As you can see, it is broad and far reaching, but none of this matters unless you have a decent antenna. You can have the worst radio, the cheapest, or the best radio. If you don't have a decent antenna, you're not going to achieve the goal. Some people can use a straight wire instead of the coax in an emergency situation. But if you have the right antenna, you're good to go.
Well, Steve, I think Spike's trying to let us know it's time for our bottom of the hour break. Is that it, Spike, or is your board just going off on its own? Yes, sir. It's time for the bottom of the hour break. Oh, Steve, can you stand by for just a few minutes while we have our bottom of the hour break, and we're going to bring you right back in, right where you're leaving off at the moment. All right. As JD said, we are down at the bottom of the hour, so we're going to take the bottom of the hour break.

Alright, we were talking with Steve from Alpha Radio and he's given us some of the basic rundowns here of considerations and not just the radio itself but the fact that there's this whole community and of course next week there is a gathering over there in Ohio where you literally have thousands upon thousands of people.
coming into these meetings and they're selling the equipment there too, but it's also an opportunity to learn, to ask questions where you can see and handle this equipment first hand and of course that's partly what Steve does. So Steve, please take it back up where you were when we had gone to the break. All right, well thank you very much. I appreciate the chance to be here with you guys today and we're talking about the radio earlier, a little bit about the
hour that you need to power it with and the cable that you run to the antenna. We dropped off about a half hour, just ready to talk a little bit about the antenna and the protection that it affords some equipment. Steve, quick question about the cable, if you don't mind. OK. You always see them rating, as you said, like the coax cable that runs to your TV, of course, is rated as a 75 ohm, which is not suitable for something like your CB radio, which also uses a coax.
a cable, but it's a different cable, and they weight it as a 50 ohm, but what does that mean for 50 ohms? Is that 50 ohms per foot? Is that 50 ohms per the entire length, no matter what length you cut it? What does that really mean when they say a 50 ohm cable? Well, what that essentially means is that the cable has a certain amount of ability to transfer signal from one end to the other. And no matter how long that cable is, the other end
as well as the end of your standing on is going to present a balanced network, a 50 ohm network. And everything is a balancing act when it comes to communication. You just remember that if it's 50 ohm cable, you're good to go. No matter how long you cut it, it's still 50 ohms. It presents that to your antenna and it presents it to your radio. What's sort of cool about that is the radio itself is built to be 50 ohms.
whether it's a CV or a hand radio. The antenna at the other end, if built correctly, presents 50 ohms to your system as well. To the coax, all the way back to your radio. So you mean if I have this coax cable, if I have this coax cable and it's one foot long or a hundred feet long, as far as the radio is concerned, it's still just 50 ohms? Even 250 feet long. Wow, okay. Yeah, that is correct.
you will lose a little bit the longer you go and it's not enough to matter. So you get about a thousand foot length, but that's really not very practical carrying around 5,000 feet of coax. You would get a pretty large bug out vehicle. So with the antenna side balancing this for your radio, you need to make
Make sure that you have a reputable antenna or one that you constructed correctly to prevent a balance to the coax and to your radio. Otherwise you'll blow your radio up. You'll burn it out. And of course that won't make anybody feel better, especially if it's the only one you have in your bug out. Location or rig, or rig being your vehicle. Some people use electric bikes.
as their bug out vehicle so that you can recharge them with solar power? What good is a gas powered vehicle anyways, right? Or they just probably got their hair standing back on their necks with that comment, but you know. What are you doing three years from now after a situation occurs? Are you filling your gasoline up somewhere down by the creek or, I don't know. I'm sorry. You got some pretty strong opinions when it comes to that. And if you've got a gasoline powered generator, your equipment,
You're not in it for the long haul. Now for the antenna. What protections does it afford? Well, that's what we specialize in, if you will. We specialize in an MCOM antenna system. It's portable. Portable base antenna systems. We use the word base camp. A base camp. Where is that? That can be your location by a freshwater lake. That can be where, say, three rivers connect that you've scouted out.
Your base camp basically where you stay then we have the antennas you can put on the back of a backpacker and you can go hiking or on Your car do you have to buy three antennas any other company the answer is yes Rather unique in that we sell one antenna that covers every one of those situations the top the hour I mentioned what it was The name of it is the easy military antenna. You can use a backpacking Mobile we sell a whole lot of different antennas too
depending on the need. Eight different systems in total. Been doing that since 2005. I started doing this and prepping in 1979. 1979, that probably explains strong opinions. Raised one marine boy, raised another who's in the Navy, got two nurses. These are my kids. And I got a few more kids who know what they're supposed to do. What do you do with your family? How do you communicate with them?
Let's say tomorrow morning you wake up. Turn the computer on? Nothing. Can't get on the internet. Pick up the phone receiver. No dial phone. Go to your cell phone. No service. You suddenly feel naked? Standing in the middle of 50,000 people down in the hole? Probably. Calm systems. It's your first line of communication. It's your first line of deep depth. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in it. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three cornered hat, speaking low to me.
We fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave to the free, the brave.
You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no hopes in saying how the money is 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 traded in your needs. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seasonally farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail.
Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save?
Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic in each God-given right, and pray to God to torture freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame.
For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch and tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave of the land of the food ladies and gentlemen this is the evening intelligence report I'm our currently

If I find more, usually I get a better price, don't I? Well, normally. In this case, the price significantly increased. So I touched on the 20 count, which by the way, what it does is kind of like a lot of the other China support pages. It shows both the 10 count and the whatever the other individual breakdown counts are. So in this case, there was a 10 count and a 20 count option. Now, the good thing is the price came down.
On the 20 count, the bad news, it was still more expensive. It makes no sense. Except the only way I can see it is if you... Now, this doesn't work because here's why. If they were figuring they could absorb... People wouldn't do the math. Americans, in theory, I guess, whoever the communist Chinese are, running Amazon.
that were so brain dead that we wouldn't do the math and go, wait a minute, it's significantly more expensive to buy 20 as opposed to 10. Why don't I just buy two 10 packs and it's a lot cheaper? It's $140 for 20. Whereas otherwise, it's $200. Well, here's what's interesting is it's still cheaper to buy two 10-count boxes because when you go to the sub breakdown,
It shows that the present price is $149 for 20. Well, that's still $9 more expensive than if I buy two of the 10 count cases. And by the way, I get free shipping. So what would you do? Well, it's pretty stinking obvious what you do. But it's kind of bizarre because it's a fluke thing with the page. It obviously means that I would buy two.
count them to if I wanted 20 or more I would order multiples of the 10 count boxes right does anybody out there listening right now if you're doing any math and even if you let the horse do it plop plop plop with this hoof there and you count them again yeah that's how it works so just a heads up it's a good price and you get a block of 10 for $70
This is through the Amazon posting and it's free shipping for the time being. I think the 18th through the 23rd at least and today is the 14th. But it posted that free shipping exists now. So I don't know why they came up with a date criteria but then state that it is free shipping. Maybe it won't be shipping until the 18th anyway, who knows. But either way, it's a good price. It's a big block of food stuff. Basically these again are the standard
Lightboat ration food cubes, they are absolutely useful. Like I said in the tour block I carry, and I've said this many times on the air, I carry one of those in each one of the backpacks as part of my food combination for field operations. And there is a reason I really should have qualified that even when we were talking a couple hours ago.
One of the other considerations is being able to cash something in the field where I can leave it behind and It's pretty much Stable. I mean, there's not a whole I can really do to hurt them. They're not real super exciting food. They're Tasty enough. I don't think I'd ever get tired of them. I never get tired of any food I don't care. What is your we're not not eating after you've not eaten a lot You really get used to the idea that that's really nice to have food. I don't care what what flavor it is
It's got a good flavor and maybe I'll be eating a lot of it, but I'm going to keep eating it because it's so in this case, not bad food. And it is a way for you to be able to either hand out maybe to somebody if you have to give someone something to run with and it's minimal, but it's a maximum. There's a number of reasons that they built the lifeboat food rations the way they did. Again, as is pointed out, does not create a thirst issue.
You know, does not create thirst. You still, with any of the military rations, I don't care what the area, most of the military rations overseas are off the shelf standard packaging and standard factory fare. No matter what, you want to drink water, especially if you're in the field because last thing you need is to have digestive problems out in the middle of nowhere. You're not going to be a sick call. Somebody's trying to kill you.
You don't have a whole lot of time for anything other than focusing on that, obviously, but it'd be nice not to have a significant issue distraction that would cause problems for you. So just a heads up. Remember, lots of moisture whenever you're taking and using any of the field rations across the board. This is why carrying more water. I'm from the Australian school. That means at least six quarts of water in your system, and I don't use a camelback.
I use four conventional or lighter duty canteens on my backpack, two on my combat harness, and that's how we go into the field. So, you want to use a camel pack, or if I had one, I'd probably grab it all so, but I wouldn't drop anything. Once you start using the water, don't worry, it disappears quick enough. No matter how, no matter what, especially if you need it, but if you want to act intelligently and not be distracted in yet another way,
Water is life and water is critical especially in combat operations Historically water has won or lost battles just that simple So we need to make sure we're headed game on that one anyway. I'll tell you what There's a new sit. There's a new kid in town. Oh, that's an old song But there's a new song new Patriot song out there. It's become very popular. We played it in the last hour and
And as a matter of fact, what we're gonna do is play it again here. Uh-oh. A timing device just came apart on me and it better be put over there or it's gonna be a problem later. Another timing device, so we got more technology coming in. Anyway, we're gonna have some fun. Number one. And Ed, I'm gonna do a four count lineup for just an idea of mix and match. Okay, guys, I mentioned this song before.
Steve Voss, Renegades. We're then gonna go to Richmond, North of Richmond. And then we ain't gonna fight for the New World Order and last is try that in a small town. So for everybody again, not hopefully not scrambling too much won't be hard, but again, this is music mix. So I know it's gonna be a little break. I'll reinforce that by identifying the music again. But Steve Voss, Renegades is what we're gonna start with.
Why renegades? Well listen to the words and think of how this makes a really good intro for the new line, the new music coming up, and of course you can integrate some of the old stuff too to, you know, plant a seed, move people in a particular direction. Ideas, not just complaining about the problems. Again, Steve Boss, renegades, and
Steve Boss, of course, was one of our Patriot Minstrels, as was, again, Carl Klein. Steve's still alive. Carl's gone. But we try to make sure that their music lives on, so we can play it whenever we can. As I remember, because there's always something that we're talking about here, but we need to incorporate our artists because it's part of the Combined Arms team that we have. There's a bunch of new voices that are popping up. Fantastic. Use them. But also combine them.
Uh-oh.
And if we utilize all of the tools in the toolbox, we can come up with one hell of a stick to beat the living Jesus out of them with. And do it in so many different obliques that you do to them what they thought they were going to do to you. And a lot of people are looking for a solution. They are looking for answers to the problem.
And we have the answers. We actually have the tools in the toolbox. We're going to have to apply them. So we need as many people up to speed as possible. It's kind of like a spoof on the Braveheart speech. Hiding in your basement underneath the moldy mattress of your hideaway bed, locked in your basement in, locked in your house, wedding triple face mask. Would you give just one,
Just one minute to be back and free again! Bloody hell. Aye. And not wearing the face bra, and not under the moldy hideaway bed in the basement with a half inch of water, cowering and cringing in fear. Yeah, again. I think pretty much everybody's, anybody who's a thinking American is done with that, or at least whoever was foolish enough to drink the Kool-Aid isn't gonna do it a second time. So, everybody.
Now you gotta arm them up and get them ready for the fight that's coming. And to do that, one of the things is music. It really does change the dynamic. So take advantage of the tools in the toolbox. Let's see, other stuff before I go any farther. Oh, by the way, we do need to play Edward, if you could, the latest guns and gadgets. We haven't done one of those yet. Forgive me, it's Monday.
And again, there has been a bunch of other interesting stuff piling up. I don't think, I don't know when the latest one, I think it was gonna put another one out here, and that's Guns and Gadgets on YouTube. Guys, if you haven't gone over and subscribed, please do so. Run over to Guns and Gadgets, and here we go. I think I heard the noise. There's always an ad you gotta fight through to get to the video.
Come out in favor of a single presidential candidate all together. That's never happened before. And I think we should just talk about that right quick. Guys and gals, I want to thank the sponsor of the video, and that's Blackout Coffee. Seven days. That's all that's left in our investment campaign. Seven days. If you want to become part of the ownership family. If you're one of the owners of Blackout Coffee, you can see the link down below.
Blackout coffee, I think we have the best coffees, teas, and hot chocolates in this country. If you don't believe me, just give it a try. blackoutcoffee.com slash gng I'll even let you save 10% with your order if you use my code GNG10. Links are down below. Alright guys, so it's interesting stuff. I've been away for the weekend, just got off the plane, I've been home for about six minutes, literally. And I wanted to bring you this information because
There's been a lot of talk politically behind the scenes that Joe Biden somehow might not be the candidate from the Democrat Party running for president. There's a large portion of people that think somehow Gavin Newsom is going to be installed in that role and there's an even bigger portion that think that big Mike, I'm sorry, what's his name? Michelle Obama. Some people think that she's going to do it.
So, when this came out, I thought this was interesting because these seven gun control groups have come out at one time, one announcement together, backing Joe Biden. Now, is that groundbreaking news? No, this has been their biggest dolt, their biggest buffoon, their biggest puppet that they've ever had in the White House when it comes to they squawk, he responds.
And every town for gun safety and Brady and Giffords, they are the big driving factors behind the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. So Jared, what seven groups are they? Well, the endorsement represented the first time that the groups have jointly announced support for a presidential candidate, like I said, and they are Brady, Team Enough, Community Justice Action Fund, Every Town for Gun Safety Action Fund,
moms demand action and students demand action along with Giffords. Now those seven groups represent 15 million members of freedom-hating, liberty-hating, constitution-hating people who will all join together to now work to get Joe Biden re-installed. This has a lot of people scratching their head, myself included, because
You would if all the whispers are true, I mean look at Joe Biden doesn't even know where he is half the time He doesn't want to talk about the fires in Maui, but he wants to give billions of dollars to a foreign country He wants to arm the Taliban with 300,000 firearms and weapons, but he wants to disarm free Americans his police departments disarming their locales and Sending those guns to the you to the people in the Ukraine or the national police force in the Ukraine it's just
an odd, odd circumstance that we are watching unfold before our eyes. But I wanted to bring this to you. What do you think, what is this signal to you if you're into politics? What does this say to you? What is your opinion? I'd love to hear it. Because like I said, this is an odd one. If the Democrat Party really doesn't want Bumble and Sniffy to be their candidate, you would think they would coordinate with their hired help.
I appreciate y'all for your time and appreciate y'all watching while I've been away. Let me know what you think about that interview that I did with Sebastian Gorka. I was on his show last night. Link is down below and floating above. It was a pretty cool honor to be on his Newsmax show. Guys and gals, I appreciate each and every single one of you. If you want more information on the Second Amendment, even more as this instance evolves, subscribe to the channel down below and I'll bring it to you every single day. I appreciate everybody. Hope you have a fantastic day. See you on the next one. Take care.
For everybody, I actually, we didn't get into this in the two hour block. What do you think that Donald Trump should do right now, since in theory he's running for a campaign? What should he do right now? Because it's not accidental if they've done what they've done. They're now admitting that while he doesn't have any time to campaign, because he's having to deal with all these court appearances or court times and the amount of wasted time with liars, I mean lawyers.
you know, the rest, etc., etc. What would you do if you were Donald Trump right now? Preemptive injunction. I mean, not, okay, let me qualify myself a little bit more, because I want to think about this one. How would you deal with the campaign itself? How would you deal with, if you were stuck, okay, you don't get to do anything in the court.
They're gonna continue to harass you. They've already said that this is voter fraud, this is voter interruption, vote interruption, campaign interruption. So how would you run it if you were Donald Trump right now? What are some of the things you might do? If I may? Yeah, go ahead, please. If I was Donald Trump, I'd probably go to Israel and campaign over there.
doing that both of them it's like the sadness you know that after all who do you think gave them the village people as their music group choice for campaign the last time right yeah I noticed how they played that down while they were playing it anybody notice that every time I saw a trump around it was like you know the village people what the hell of the village people doing there well I mean what's that
that he's got the Monrons running his executives. Part of the thing with the music, if you've got to remember, they were attacking them copyright-wise, every which way they could. Remember, with any of the military brass stuff, like the Marine Corps, when they went in the first time around, they had tried to copyright all that, including the Marine Corps insignia.
And we're going after former Marine Corps members for even having their own insignia still from women in service. So there was a whole lot of things going on at the end of Obama's administration with political copyright. Sorry, Dad. Go ahead. Right. OK, but hold on. OK, now here, let's not go too far from this. OK, you're Donald Trump. You only have so much time.
But you still have the ability to get out. I mean, actually, you can't make some public appearances. He's still doing that, right? But they're claiming, in fact, they're even bragging that, you know, he can't do it. Well, wait a minute. Joe Biden ran a campaign from a basement. And supposedly, supposedly, 81 million. Okay, Donald Trump has the money. How many of you ever been to a rock concert?
I have. Anybody? Everybody listening? Everybody been to a rock concert? When you went to a rock concert, especially starting in the early 70s, what was one of the biggest features of a rock concert at a stadium? What was the biggest feature of that? The screen. Yeah! There you go.
In fact, I went and watched Jeff Rotol and when they put the big screen up there, they had it look like an old style Zenith television and they had the old Zenith controls down below and they had a frame and they called it Toll-o-vision. Get it? Tongue and cheek, Toll-o-vision. Oh well. Anyway. But all the bands did this. Now, here's the other half of this problem.
Donald Trump can't get there. Okay. Now I'm not saying you just you want Donald don't just want Donald Trump on the screen. But I if I were Donald Trump, and if I were his allies, I would find the biggest I if it had me if need be I'd have him make as quickly as possible the biggest honking mobile screen that you could put in the stadium. And I would make sure that there were first one and two then three and I scheduled events Donald Trump speaking at.
Okay, but but that's not where it ends I would hire an army of look-alikes I would have Donald Trump look-alike go to a session and he would be out there to walk out and wave he goes I'm not Donald Trump, but if I could be I would be Okay, and then but since you're all here We're gonna hear from the big man himself demand that I
emulate the man that I look like right here up on a big screen. Just like the just like Vaudeville, just like in the circus, you put your arm back over your shoulder and sweep it towards the screen and the screen fades up and there's Donald. Donald, Donald. You do what I mean? Hey, Dad, I want to bring something up real quick if I can. Go ahead.
Okay, supposedly we got this Georgia thing coming up where Joe Biden is being charged for vote fraud, trying to interfere with the vote. But at the same time, we've got the thing going on with the January 6th and this thing is all tied together. But the January 6th stuff is saying that there was no vote fraud, that it was the best election ever, that we didn't see anything. But at the same time, somehow Donald Trump is being charged in Georgia with vote fraud.
But there is no vote fraud. It was the best election ever. And everybody was happy with it. Well, anybody who was a cop was a help with the ringing of it. If there was no vote fraud, how can you charge Donald Trump with vote fraud? I mean, you are saying that he lost? Satisfied. They were satisfied customers. Exactly. Well, I think the interesting thing about this is, again, this would mess with their head.
But I think that if they were smart, they would double their effort in the election process right now. And I think this is, I'm not joking about doing this. If the parasite, the Obama meat puppet, could sit in the basement, picking his nose, giggling while they brought him another two or three or five six-year-old children to molest, because he didn't have to go out, they'd deliver.
and then supposedly run an election. I'm arguing that, guess what? Find a bunch of good lookalikes, have the individuals step up to the plate, have them be there, but then flat out, in fact, here's what's really cute. You could schedule the events. Now, think about this one. Russian trumpet. Russian trumpet. Not Russian roulette. Russian trumpet. What do I mean by that?
Well, you schedule all these events and you have the army of look-alikes and the look-alikes are on standby. But you overbook the events. Guys, you force multiply this way. You overbook the events and what happens is you don't know if Trump's going to be there or not, so it's going to be a surprise. So if you really want to support the effort, you want to be there to see Donald Trump.
Well, guess what? He didn't show up in person, but guess what? Don't worry. Don't worry. Your money wasn't wasted because you're going to get to see and hear him live on a big screen for that event. And by God, it has to be live. And in this day and age, this is what I said earlier about this whole thing with the Hawaii bullshit going on as far as that total failure by the 21st century stooges.
Okay, absolute failure, lack of communications, everybody was like they're operating it 100 years ago. That's why this is the worst fire since 100 years ago. Guys, there would be absolutely no reason for him not to take questions. You want to really make it cool, and I mean really make it obvious and make sure it stays live. He just wouldn't have to travel. Now don't tell me you can't do it, because he could be anywhere with a microphone, anywhere with his mobile tech.
If his people can't handle that, their ass needs to be fired. I've done radio from every possible imaginable location. You can think of some of them impossible, okay? Like, how did you do that?
Well, I usually carry an electronic bag of tricks that when we were on the road so that I could hook up to any kind of communication system. Jumper cables, all kinds of adapters, raw technology so I could wire things together if I had a piece of wiring from a piece of equipment that plugged into the wall but it was something we'd never seen before, which was very rare but it happened. I could get a copy of it right there from some other piece of equipment, strip it down, hook it up,
plug it in and be doing the radio program from that location. I've done it from telephone poles in the middle of South Carolina to the mountains of Idaho to California to Oregon to Maine, you name it, we've been there. And no two locations were done the same way in many cases because there's different communications elements, you know, grids out there, guys.
It's a little, it's not really improved. It was better actually in the 90s than it is today. Today it's pretty crappy. But in the 90s, we can do a much better job of being able to hook up on the fly anywhere. So the 21st century is not an improvement. It's actually gone to planet Krapu, like I've said. So with Donald Trump, I think he's got some money. So if they can't figure out how to do this, they've got a bunch of losers. As far as I'm concerned. Because you, go ahead, jump in there, color.
Do you think they can do it from a golf course? Easy. Easy. It'd be so easy. I'm kind of multitasking, hold on here, I gotta make a shot. I can't leave here, so I figured I'd get a few minutes worth. Yeah, everybody's clapping. Yay! And of course, but the thing is, think about it.
That's not my first choice because you really want to demonstrate you're serious about having the attention of the people that came to hear you. You know what I mean? But it would work. You could do it, yes. There's no reason not to. See, that's what pisses me off about you have some really shallow minds or just generally incompetent or non-creative people.
Because they had me running they should be beating this dog hard I mean the more that they do they should book more events and not that he's gonna make it but think about it that this What would be fun people would actually get out you would have they would enjoy this I'm gonna tell watch you think about something I know I heard everybody's voice, but think about this well I was at the Donald Trump rally. Oh, I said he wasn't maybe gonna show up. Oh, he was there What he was
He was there? Yeah, yeah, yeah. In fact, he came out with the double. What? Yeah, the look-alike came out with him and they put him, and what they did is they put him on the big screen at the stage, you know, right there. But, you know, I heard about the one in Schmidlappville. Yeah, he didn't show up in the look-alike was there, but everybody had a great time and they did question and answer. And it's obvious, you know, he was live and doing the right thing because this is where time and distance can be defeated.
Guys, your enemy is thinking plastic last, you know, like shallow hell last century. But last century, we were doing more. Well, speak about shallow hell, Dan. You know, Garrett said something on guns and gadgets, which I have heard before, and I've heard locally here spoken a few times.
Now Trump, we don't know who Trump's running mate is gonna be, but you would think Joe Biden's running mate would be Kamala Harris, right? I mean, she says BP, she's done such a wonderful job. But on all of his campaign sides and everything, it's just Biden. Like his running mate isn't picked yet. And the rumor that I've heard around here that the running mate is gonna be Michelle Obama, which would make perfect sense throwing that in with what Jared was just talking about on the
Guns and gadgets that we just played. I mean think about this scenario. Joe Biden is getting up there in years. We already know this. He's mentally declined if he doesn't have some medical issue where he dies in office and Obama takes place or he gets ruled mentally incompetent and Obama takes his place. And we're talking about Michelle, not Barack.
You know that that's very viable for scenario for them to get in there and if not well He's so old and he doesn't make much sense. Anyway, he'd be a good sacrificial goat wouldn't he? Well, it's very likely that whatever they're gonna do here is they have to pick a better They have to pick a better choice for you know, they have the the the fill-in Because right now I think the one thing that is propping him up is everybody knows while they don't like Biden
And while they're going through the motion of impeachment, they sure as hell don't want Kamala Harris anywhere near the White House. I mean, anywhere near the seat. She's around the White House. He, she hits around the White House, but she's not in power. However, it would be even more flagrant about what we say in terms of the meat puppet.
Because Obama's tentacle would be pulled out of the corpse of Biden so fast to make your heads when he'd fall like a limp fish. And then that thing would be stuck right up her arse so fast you could almost see the tip of the tentacle where her tongue should be. It would just be guaranteed. There's no way in hell that that witless, brainless piece of trash, you had no business being near the vice presidency at all.
in any way, shape or form other than they, like I said years ago on this when this happened. What's one of the reasons for putting her ass in there? Well, everybody's still happier with the corpse that can't remember where to go as opposed to the secondhand prostitute slash the brain mule that they brought in as the number two. So that was part of the math formula.
And again, one way or another, everybody will kind of, like I've said though, bite the bullet and suffer through the shipwreck they've created rather than. And that's true of the Republic rat ring knockers, not the Democrats. That's true of the Republic rat ring knockers and what they've created. That's our biggest problem. So again, the big issue here from the Republic rat side is Trump needs to redouble
Well, first of all, let me point something out, and I know this is hard on anybody. Do you really want to be President of the United States? Okay, you say you do. Well, yeah, I know, I know, I know, I'm just saying, I've been asking the guy that's supposedly here with the orange hair, okay? You want to be President, yeah? There are no vacations. If the last time you didn't figure that out, this time around,
There's no going to the golf course. Piss on that golf course. You know, we're just joking about that. Oh, I'm going to go to the golf course. No, you're not going to the golf course. I wouldn't go to the golf course. I don't care how you look at it. You got 24 seven battle standard to victory. And then you got four years of kicking it in the ass because you aren't going to get another shot.
What pisses me off is I don't believe Mr. Trump took the job seriously I don't care what anybody says because if he had the right people would have been in office I'm right for the get-go. I'm gonna point something out his bodyguards should have stayed there Well, no, we got the Secret Service. The Secret Service has betrayed him had betrayed him constantly The Secret Service was did exactly the agencies did exactly what I warned they do three years ago
So the first thing you do is you don't, if you really, if he was serious, he'd have been walking in with people not from Washington, D.C. He'd have been walking in with people that in many cases people have to go, who the hell is that? Who is that person? Well, that's Mr. Trump's mother. And it didn't happen that way. Instead, what did he get? He got a whole bunch of backstabbing lunes that we all knew were backstabbing lunes.
Was there anybody that was a surprise as far as, Pence to me, he didn't get a choice. That was part of the, well if you want the Republican nomination, you have to take the backstabber. You have to take the, that character looks like he's got a stick stuck up his ass. You go take him. Oh God, okay, well, okay, I don't plan on dying on the job. But there are tasks that if the vice president is doing his job, kind of like the border situation,
Where if the person did the job and did it right? Well, that's one less task. You don't have to constantly nurse. Go ahead, caller. Jump in there. I'd ask, which was Twitter, there's a lot of people saying that the former governor of Arizona, Carrie Lake, might be Trump's running mate. So there's one thing- No, no, the candidate, she wasn't a former governor. You didn't make it to governor. You mean Carrie Lake, the one who ran for governor?
Very late. The one that was a mainstream news anchor her whole career. Mainstream. Right. Right. Well, but again, this is where you're looking at what pieces do you have to play with? You know, in other words, I had Donald Trump had any money and I was going to say if he didn't, he could just ask his best friend for some money, Sheldon Adelson. Yeah. Well, see that's a problem.
Go ahead, jump in their car.
More about law enforcement is coming to the Tritus City area. The Michigan State Police, Tritus City Post is hosting an open house Wednesday to get to know their neighbors and the community. They'll have several activities and displays of valuable. MSP special teams will be there including the marine service teams, aviation unit, and emergency support team.
There will also be a recruiter there for anyone interested in a career at the State Police. The community we serve is also the community we live in. So we don't like to necessarily think it's just getting good relationships with them. We live here. So it's getting to know our neighbors more and give them a better understanding of what we do and how
and how we can help each other. SPL Lieutenant Derek Carroll from Michigan State Police said, the open house will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday. Again, that's 9 and 10 news. Travis Day, Michigan State Police. Travis Day, post hosting opening house by Josh Monroe, two hours ago.
Again, that's 9th and New Jersey Christian State Police, Jersey Post hosting open house by Josh. No two hours ago Possibly we could bring the tape from the Scott would ring, you know attack on Scott's house and plug it in a machine They can show people how they interact with the population of the community Given the opportunity I I could do that. I've got I've got him on CD I mean, I've got him on VHS to here but
We could take one up. It's got the whole right from beginning to end where they're all high-fiving and laughing about burning the house down and blowing it up. And then as they dig out the basement after they burned the place and then fanned the flames and did all the evil that they did, then they're laughing as they dig stuff out of the basement thinking that any minute they're going to find the corpse of Scott Woodring so they could laugh about the twisted, blasted remains.
The more they dig, the more quieter they get because they find the dog in the house, poor thing, probably was right there nose to nose with the blaster pretty close, or he was shot somewhere in the middle and maybe hopefully was dead before that happened.
And then they find a glove, a leather glove, and they think it's his hand and they start chuckling and laughing. Oh, they think it's so funny because they think they found his hand and that they took it off with the backhoe. Ha, ha, ha. And then they realize, no, no, no, it's a leather glove.
