are running all night to see that they're woven in tight. Each strand and each thread is tested in truth, all the knots are woven by hand. And on each rope there will be a name of one who has betrayed his land. Our leaders have forgotten the oath that they took when they swore to protect and preserve. Our freedom and rights and religion too in whatever church we serve. They lined all their pockets and deceived the people, and most went along with the flow. But tempers are short, and the memories are long. Each name the people will know. When each rope is finished, it's tested for strength, and packed in a bag with a hood. And upon the bag is the name of a traitor. who did his country no good. Someday we will hear that Nuremberg plea when the hour is drawing near. I was only doing what I was told, another lie, I fear. And for those of you who don't believe, be around when the party begins. What next will be stretched and cries will be heard and the traitors will sway in the wind. Through the mist without the were torn and dirty as he stood here by my bed, he took off his three cornered hat and speaking low to me, he said. We fought a revolution of 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. 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 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, 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 feared while both sons pray public? Arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Light. Preserve our great Republican, each God-given right, that won't keep vanished in the midst of this. But we have ourselves the blame, for even now as tyrants trampled each God-given right, we only watch and tremble too afraid to stand and fight. Sit by your bedside stream while you are asleep, and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep. What would be your answer, without from the grave? And gentlemen, this is the first hour of the Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Kornke, one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, west, east, south, and north. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on... www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. LibertyTreeRadio.org. And we're on satellite. We'd like to say hi to all our merchant marine operators out there. No matter what body of water you are presently resting, we're working on right now. And the fact that you're both listening and rebroadcasting and logging digital. We're in a myriad of other communications technologies inside and outside these United States and it is Wednesday, yes, the calendar is off for some of the electronic systems, which is really bizarre today. Off by six days. In fact, the system is locked in a different direction. I think that's rather fascinating. I'm going to have to do a little investigating once we're done with the program here. But it is the 3rd of April. It is Wednesday. It's Weapons Wednesday. It is the 17th year of Open Obvious, an in-your-face, Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K2025 old earth calendar, 2025 battle for the republic book the winter war, though we're now into the spring rains. Yeah, we've had some major water today. Nothing that's lethal. And you know, somebody might have died somewhere. But for the most part, classic spring rains we've been waiting for. Water levels are up to where they're supposed to be, and it is going to get worse, I am sure, because spring does that. And it is, again, perfect for all of our little plants. It has to happen. We want the green things to grow so we can nibble on them later. And that is, of course, part of our agenda. Or is that agenda? Take your pick. So, it has been very, very busy here in the last 24 hours. I want to say thank you to all the people pitching in this last couple of weeks. Fortunately, we didn't lose any time on programming here. That has randomly happened. It may still happen again as the schedule is pressed. Forgive us, guys, but it just can't help. It can't be helped. Nature of the situation that we are in. Again, we've had some friends that have had to travel to take them and do a little bit of support for what's been happening and they're doing a great job. Thank you. And we also want to say thank you to the donations that came in from certain allies and friends to deal also with the chain of events they have to be taken care of. Again, Weapons Wednesday, a couple things I wanted to touch on. Number one, carbenes. M1 carbenes. There's a ton of them out there, millions. We don't even know how many we actually have in the US. A lot got carried back from World War II, and God knows how many came back from Vietnam, because it's one of those guns you could have. Okay, now, you've got to remember there's also the M2 and M3 carbine, which are select fire. The M2 being obviously the one, if you're old enough you remember best because everybody was trying to mimic the gun back in the day. There used to be a couple of carbine companies, Plainfield and Universal, who were way late aftermarket rifles, but initially both were feeding off the vast, and I mean vast, World War II, Korea and Vietnam War carbine inventory. The parts systems alone, the big thing about Plainfield is that Plainfield carbines were exact copies. Universal's started out being exact copies of the standard M1 carbine, but Universal, out of Hilea, came up with this whole new idea because they wanted a carbine. Well, let's put it this way. They built a carbine, but it was a mimic. And it was not the most popular. It had a lot of good ideas, all stamped parts. It worked, it really did, it actually worked when it came out of the box. But, unfortunately because people didn't all have that much experience with carbines and carbine maintenance, they had a tendency to get frustrated with the rifle. It, back in the day, did not do as well as it should have in its last incarnation. Both Plainfield and Universal made enforcer, well, Plainfield was the enforcer. carbines, which are, I should say, an enforcer pistol or a pistol variant, which is kind of like the Air 15, we had the Air 15 pistols. Basically, it was a chopped and lopped short barrel, no buttstock, pistol grip. pistol system using the carbine action. So all the parts internally were the same, magazines were the same. It was just rated as a handgun. Now here's the interesting thing. The gun was both of those guns, Plainfield and Universal, were built as aftermarket, rent-a-revolution ideas. They actually sold so well, or they were popular enough, especially the carbine, that a number of both playing field and universal carbines ended up in Vietnam. Now why? Well, in that pistol configuration, they were the perfect size for very small Vietnamese soldiers. They weren't very big. The neat thing about this was that the weapon was very popular as a security weapon, a personal defense weapon. It overlapped with the Bushmaster bullpup pistol which came out at the end, well almost the end of Vietnam, and was certainly out there in force during the 1970s. That being a 5.56 Bushmaster rifles, the Bushmaster, not AR-15. We're talking Bushmaster-designed rifles and Bushmaster-designed pistols. This was another rental revolution slash a mercenary corps arm that came into service and actually was pretty successful where it was put into play. Now the carbines, they just kept chugging along. Why? Well, you had World War II's production, you had more production in Korea with the M2 and the M3 being dominant then. And of course in Vietnam, the carbine was a perfect rifle to issue out to the Vietnamese. It was very popular because of its size. It obviously made sense for the average about 100 to 105 pounds soaking wet Vietnamese soldier that would be carrying it. Now, the numbers that I recall, approximately 10,000 of the plain field variant pistols showed up in Vietnam at the middle end of the war. When I say middle, I say end of the 70s. It was the later part of the war. Another batch of universals were pushed into the market too. The estimate there is around 12,000. These guns obviously disappeared into the oblivion of the Vietnam cauldron. So we don't know what happened to them, but their counterparts were being built here in the United States, sold here in the United States, and they were sold as some automatic weapons because obviously they were built as the M1 carbine base. Now, however, here's the thing. A lot of people wanted that M2 carbine idea. There's a couple of features on the M2 and M3 carbine that are unique. If you have a chubbier stock on your carbine, now here's the way you take a look at standard carbines have a straight line stock on the base that's flat and kind of squared out from the trigger guard forward. And in fact it's uniform depth for the stock from the Top of the stock to the bottom from the trigger area all the way forward to the end of the stock. To the front range, there's only one. With the N2 and M3, they have what we call a guppy belly type stock. Chubbier and bulkier to offer a little more control. The metal upper guard was designed for cooling. It's a feature that was up and down, not as popular with the troops in every place, but they weren't produced in limited quantity initially and then pretty well went to them later on for the sake of, again, cooling and ventilation for the barrel and select fire. In addition, they had a heavier bolt, and that's the feature everybody wanted. The heavier M2-M3 carbine bolts, a little more robust, it, of course a lot of people wanted to build back when in the day, select fire M2 with M3 carbines, weren't supposed to have them, but the playing field was built almost completely off M2 parts. As an aftermarket rifle, while it certainly had carbine parts on it, in the earlier models you see mostly the M1 variant, but in playing field from about the middle of its lifespan to the ending of the company, as we know it, the M2-M3 configured playing field carbine was common. Now, here's what typically happened. The Plainfield carvings got bought, usually as secondhand purchases, and people would strip all of the M2 parts from the internal trigger housing and other elements to the bolt, switch them over to an inland or one of the other regular carvings that was out there, and even in some cases steal the stocks, and switch their regular military M1 carbine over to that M2 look, And for this reason there's quite a mishmash of parts on the plainfield carvings. Today, plainfields and universals command is high price almost as a regular carbine, although carbines have gone insane. Used to be a $75 rifle used at any yard sale or at a gun shore or whatever. That, of course, is way in the past. The playing fields were always in the universals especially were second ideas in other words Well, yeah, I'll take it because it's cheap and well I can afford to buy a bunch which we did I know I did I don't know how many I bought But and how many we put away there in the inventory along with magazines spare parts cleaning kit Euler, you know that goes in the stock to hold the sling in place, etc. Blah blah blah blah blah but the Today, playing fields, which really you can't, unless you have a map, most people couldn't determine the difference between one over the other because there isn't any change. There isn't any difference. Just quality of product because it was an aftermarket gun. That's it. But all the military parts will change over. Now with the universal Hillel later stamped models, which they did stamping with everything, and everybody always wondered why they do that. Well, it's because in the Caribbean, There were a lot of Caribbean countries that either made their own version of a kind of carbine rifle or they bought universals because universals would take initially all carbine parts and they still with the Ristant model, the later model, they took a lot of carbine parts and could be integrated. The problem is they did create a parts issue kind of like the AR-10 where you have two different families on three if you count one last production model. Three different or two based AR-10 model rifles that are out there. There are certain parts that won't interchange. The universal would be like that with the carbine family. But it's still out there. They go for a high price. They're way back in the taillight so they're collectible unto themselves as a niche. One of those guns said, well, this is another carbine, so I wanted my collection. Are they good weapons? They work. The big thing here, again, is basic cleaning maintenance, which you need to study. This is why I brought this up, carbine. If you have a carbine you have to take and loosen up that front ring. What you want to do is extract the whole action from the stock and when you do you will see, if you haven't looked at a manual for the rifle, that there is a little puppet piston underneath the barrel parallel with the barrel. It's the operating system for the rifle. This is the most common not maintained part on the carbine. Why? Well, it's real simple. Out of sight, out of mind. Now for the longest time when I was much younger, 50 years ago, when the carbines were out there, the playing fields and universal sun red regular field grade carbines were a dime a dozen. And somebody would have when they go, you know what, I'm getting tired of this. This thing doesn't work right. It won't extract. It won't do what it's supposed to do. It doesn't operate right. Gas system doesn't work. And it's like, and here's the thing. I've learned, this is one of the many life lessons I've learned, and after a while I just, I'd only say it would say something once, and most of the time I wouldn't say anything at all. Did you clean the gun? What do you mean I cleaned the gun? I know how to clean that gun. I know that rifle. I cleaned it. I checked the barrel. I cleaned up the action. Okay. Did you, you know, and of course, even if you do try to, probably, you know, this little idea that, you know, just put somebody in, something in somebody's head. Did you clean the gas cap? I know how to clean this code. It doesn't work. Well, how much do you want for it? Well, give me $65. Oh, hell yes, I'll give you $65. It's a $200, well, $125 rifle, them. Yeah, I'll give you $65 for it. I'd take it home, and it's like the standard .22 semi-automatic rifles out there have the same problem. Yeah, somebody, did you clean the gun? Oh, I put a rod through the barrel. OK, did you clean the weapon? Well look, and they show me the action. Well, if you look at it at a glance, it looks OK in a 22, but you know what it is? That carbon from the dirtiest powder used, which is 22 powder, rimfire powder, you open it up, action looks gray. You know why it looks gray? Because it's covered with carbon. You know what happens when the carbon builds up enough? It gets muddy. What happens when the action gets muddy? It doesn't extract. In some cases, it won't feed properly. With the carbine, I would take and open up that front screw, slide the band forward, and take the action out. That carbon buildup literally had a gray parker rising on all of the underside of the barrel and the gas system area right there. The little piston. wouldn't move without pushing, you know, I mean like literally having to push it to move it around. It's only a short stroke little piston, a short gas tappet system. And so lo and behold, you break out the bore cleaner and you let it soak in there, spray it in there real good, take that toothbrush and go to town. And all of a sudden that little piston will go, oh, it's happy again. Then you can see bare metal because it's a wear point, it's kind of like the Ipsy-up. You know, there's an apron of garandia at the end of the apron, so it's supposed to be shiny. Well, that little tap, it gets that way from wearing back and forth. It's got abrasion points. Well, I could see those. Oh, it's a miracle. So you disassemble as far as you can, clean that piston up, reassemble everything, make sure you get all the carbon off the rest of the gun, put it all back together, take it out to the range with another 50 rounds and a bunch of 15 round mags. And you know what the gun does? We go pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, actually. empty. There you go. 15 rounds of magazine empty. Extract the magazine, put another magazine in, charge the weapon and bang, bang, bang, bang, I'll do it again. Now, you know how many times I did that? I lost count. I don't know how many dozens and then probably over 100, 200 carvings I bought like that. Where I got to the point where I would say, well, you sure you want to sell it? I wouldn't say it's like because if you say, did you clean the gun? I don't know how many times I heard that. I don't know how to clean a rifle. I put a rod through it. I cleaned up the bolt area. It's still malfunctioning. There's something wrong with these guns. And I take it home at every time, it would be the same thing. Nobody bothered to take them. One or two times, if a person had one and they knew how to clean it, they weren't having any problem with it. But if you tried to explain somebody, you know, they just paid like $180 for that rifle new in the box and you don't want it now, it's like, well, I can get another gun. I'm going to get something else. I'm going to get a real carbine. Well, the real carbine, if you treat it the same way, isn't going to work very well after a while either. Plus, what didn't help, and let's point this out, is that at the time there was a bunch of French and also Dominican, oh I'm sorry, Republica Dominica carbine ammunition. Remember those Caribbean countries I was talking about? Well, Haiti had carbines. Republica Dominica had carbines. Pretty much everybody in the Caribbean basin had carbines. Some of them had their own rifles they built that looked like a carbine but they were a totally different rifle and didn't take any of the common parts. They did take the magazine, that was about it. And that ammunition was built in the Caribbean, but there was also French ammunition. Again, there was hot and there was standard load. And the hot load for the carbine, which typically those you can determine the hot rounds on French ammunition because it has a green canelure paint. It's a lacquer paint. You know, we have tips on our marion ammunition to determine AP or tracer or armor piercing incendiary or incendiary, while the French use a primer pocket and canelure paint back in the day. And this ammunition was out there, but it was dirty ammunition. And so again, if you should have cleaned the carbine every about three to five hundred rounds with US ammo, which was typically flinch-chester ammo, or could be made by UMC. And there were other manufacturers. With the French, it was a different powder altogether, still performed the same way. The hot loads were for the select fire version, just like the hot loads are made in 45 ACP were made for the French submachine guns, not to be used in pistols, and for that reason they had what was called a desensitized primer. So they wouldn't work with a pistol, they didn't have enough strike, that way it would blow your handgun out. And they also had 9mm in the hot rounds too. Well the carbine was pretty popular and as I pointed out the M2 bolts were the Katsmeow and with the M2 bolts the heavier round could comfortably be used in the carbine without abusing the action or anything. So, a lot of Dominican Republica ammunition, a whole bunch of French ammunition, some Greek ammunition, kind of like surplus you see nowadays. But remember some of that also was corrosive. Oh my, oh my William. Remember Lost in Space, Dr. Smith. So, that was another issue altogether. Now, fortunately, fortunately, The parts were pretty resilient, the weapon being parkerized inside and out, of course except the barrel. The barrel itself would take some wear, eventually that's not relevant. Could easily be cleaned up and typically could be turned around even if it had been digesting the corrosive ammo, which again was always out there lingering in the wings. There was some German surplus carbine, not much of it made to the US but a quantity did. And there was also the usual fare of Asian ammunition, but that didn't really show up until sometime in the 80s and 90s as the wall fell, so to speak, where in this case the bamboo curtain fell and we started getting Chinese. Most of the carbine amylate you're going to run into if it's Chinese is marked Lake City LC52, LC52, but it's Chinese. Yeah, they did that intentionally. The Chinese made it. for marketing purposes because American ammo would sell. And so what they would do is claim that, yeah, we have this ammo, we capture it from the Americans during the Korean War. It's very high quality, Lake City 1952. Well, it wasn't Lake City 1952. It was Chinese ammunition made in 1979, Chinese ammunition made in 1985, 1986. If you paid attention, you got any of that stuff by the can. It came in the same cans as AK ammunition and 7.62x54R, same Hamptons. But it was carbine ammunition. You may run into it on occasion. In fact, you may be surprised. I would believe, seriously, I'm serious about dead cold. Beware, don't shoot it. Not because it's dangerous, but because it's more valuable as a collector's item. If you have any of the Chinese ammo that's 30 carbine, you're going to want to look to see what the market price is for that as a collectible item. Well Mark, I paid a stupid price. It was really cheap for it back then. Yes, just like SKS is for $56. What's a Chinese Durinko SKS going for right now? Especially one that looks like it just came out of the styrofoam box. Well that carbine ammo came in during that same period of time when we were buying those $56 SKS's. And ammunition, there are people who collect ammo, a lot of people. And ammunition, especially where you assume, because I got it cheap, It must still be cheap now, that's not necessarily true. So just a heads up, you might be able to pay for another couple of AR-15s if you got the right stuff sitting on the shelf, and it's been around since way back in the 80s and the 90s. Something to think about there. Now is the carbine viable? Absolutely. Do I want to get shot by it? Hell no. Is it popular, especially with the ladies? And it's great for young people. Remember the DCM, Department of Civilian Marchmanship, which is now the whatever, civilian, blah, blah, blah. Originally had a carbine program set up so that young shooters would get a carbine instead of an M1 Grand. and progressively work into the garade as their next rifle, the carbine being the initiator or training rifle. They work really well. Magazines are still out there. Korea makes 15 rounders and 30 rounders. I personally prefer the 15s. I know that 30s work most of the time. And if you got one that works perfectly then you're in great shape but the 30 rounders because there were so many aftermarket of mixed types they got a bad flag slash note because it's like man every once in a while the sucker jams on me. Now here's the thing a lot of people were using select fire even though they're supposed to be semi-auto. And so the 30 rounder of course gave you a lot more vroom vroom when the time came. But, as if it worked right. Personally I love 15 round carbines, carbine rounds, cause I have 15 round carbine magazines, Mark will get it right. The same way I like 20 round AR-15 mags. You can put them in every pocket, nobody knows you're carrying magazines everywhere. They don't pop out easily, in other words they don't stand out, but you can carry a mag, 15 round mag in every shirt pocket, field jacket pocket, your pants pockets, and have a couple on a mag pouch, two, three, four, five, and nobody's going to know. So you're carrying a couple hundred rounds of ammunition on your person, which is enough to keep you alive. It gets you both into trouble and out of trouble, whether it'll work. No, there's somebody asking are there any drums? There was somebody that was proposing doing drums. They may have done something about what, 20 years ago, back around the turn of the century, there was supposed to be a carbine drum, kind of like the beta drum, not beta, forgive me, like the, oh, more like the magpul drums that are out there. But I've only seen a picture of something that was basically an idea and I have never actually held one. If you see one, I'd love to know about it. I'd like to see it. And somebody would probably put it out there for people because there's too many carbenes, lots and lots of carbenes. We get into a war on American soil, you're going to see carbenes coming out of the woodwork everywhere. By the way, if you pay attention where Mexico had that revolt by the farmers against the cartels and the government, remember about what, eight, ten years ago? It was M1, M2 and M3 carbenes that first came out of the ditches, you know, from out of the burial points that the farmers pulled out. and cartels and the Mexican government still have car beans and every other firearm you can imagine in service. And so a lot of car beans popped out during that. That's probably the best example of things that disappeared into the shadows. Then they got into a serious fight with an enemy and the weapons started coming out of the woodwork. First the pump shotguns and car beams and then as they killed more cartel personnel and wiped out unit after unit of cartel, the farmers ended up being better and better armed and started to clean out the cartels, which is when the Mexican government came in to help the cartels because they couldn't have that money making machine put out of business. since organized Jewish crime in Mexico City is profiting from organized Jewish Mexican crime-combining cartels all over Mexico. Run by the Jewish mob slash read that, wassad, retirees, etc. and a whole bunch of other kosher pigs. So anyway, carbine's out there. It's out there in force. And you must learn to clean your weapon. There are great manuals, standard US military carving manuals are out there. There's copies and reprints. You don't have to buy an original pay top dollar. There's all kinds of videos, I'm sure, if you look around. And the big thing here, again, is to have the proper cleaning solvents for prepping and cleaning up that gas system, and then also to lightly lubricate. You don't pour a whole bunch of oil on the gas tap it, what you do is just enough to prevent oxidation. Because it is out of sight, out of mind, and its gravity sucks. Remember, so moisture when it's landing on your weapon is going to drop to the 6 o'clock mark. Well, where's the 6 o'clock mark? That's where your gas system is, down at the bottom of the weapon. As the moisture works its way around through parts of the rifle. So you want to make sure that all your critical parts do have a light lubricant, a drop, enough just to dust it over. Go ahead, call or jump in there. Yeah, how would you clean corrosive ammo like you would a Kentucky pistol hot soapy water first? Hot soapy water is still I think for all of the all the gimmicks that are out there There's some really good ideas. There's also some cleaners that are made for black powder But still soap and water is your best choice if you suspect corrosive You're gonna clean it all off You're gonna dry it all off and you're still gonna want to use some bore cleaner or a solvent on it after you've done the scrubbing Corrosive is not common, but let me point something out. There's a whole bunch of it that just got released here recently. Want to find it? I'll show it to you. Go over to CenterfireSystems.com, CenterfireSystems.com, or any of the other surplus companies that have this World War II 8mm Mauser, and they have a bunch of World War II Greek or American .30-06. It's all corrosive. So somebody says, we won't see very much corrosive. Well, you won't see much, but there's still a ton of it out there laying around. And here's the other problem. And why corrosive, being able to wash, scrub, and clean it up is especially critical. because even after they claimed that they used up everything, guys, you know how governments are, they got a warehouse. It's that warehouse 14 they forgot about, that warehouse that really wouldn't forget about, they just thought, put it out of their brain, and they opened up the doors and here's 55,000 tons of, you know, Schmidlap 402 powder and it's corrosive. It's more of the primers you gotta worry about, some Mercuric primers, which are great because for storage purposes, Mercuric primers are the king. For being durable in all environments, the corrosive mercuric primer is superior. I'll tell you what, I've shot ammunition from the 20s and 30s in the 70s and 80s, and I never had a malfunction. And most of it was German pre-war, 1933, not Frankfurt, one of the other arsenals. I maybe was Frankfurt Arsenal or some of it, but the idea is that these different arsenals were all producing corrosive ammunition. Now, I even have shot many, many hundreds, well, thousands and tens of thousands, and God knows how many real numbers, of zinc-plated projectile steel lacquer case German 1942-1943 ammunition. guaranteed it's corrosive. But you know what's amazing about that? I never, and I'm serious about this, for all the tens of thousands, if not a hundred or a couple hundred thousand rounds of that that I've shot in K-98 Mausers, K-98 43s, let's see, G-43s, K-43s, K41s, G41s, because we had, years ago those were stuff circulating, now they're worth a fortune. You can buy a whole brace of AR-15s with any one of what I just mentioned in those semi-autoderman rifles. And I never had a malfunction. Fired at MG34s, fired at MG42s, and had to clean those bastards afterwards because you had to clean everything with that ammo. But because it's corrosive. but never had a malfunction, never had a primer failure. Mercuric primers. In fact, for the longest time as I've mentioned, I shot, traditionally I shot for prep for competition. I would shoot Euchlear arsenal, OK? 1942 US, .30-06. Euchlear is an odd man. Nobody wanted the M or the brass because it has a second step of primer pocket and it's crimped. So it's harder than hell to get primers out if you don't know what you're doing, if you're not experienced. So I used to get you a clear arsenal ammunition and brass for almost free. The other one that it was my most common go-to was Denver 42, Denver 43. And that ammunition never failed. I never had a primer issue. Never had a misfire. Never had a hang, slow fire. That is with the older rod powder, although they did use fleck then too. Forgive me, they used rod, but they used not pencil rod, they used what do you call it? Cake decorator. Think about cake decoration rods, little candy stick things. Anyway, that powder worked every time. And once I shot it, we'd have to treat the brass the same way we were talking about treating the weapon. You take the brass and do a quick scrub on it, then put it in an agitator. Back in the day, it was a big ass tumbler. We used to make them from scratch. And then we'd powder the brass up, clean it up, give it a shine, and go to town. And again, with all of these, soap and water first. Needles to say we don't stick the stock guys. Come on, do a little research. Take the whole action out. Take the wood off the weapon. It's not hard to do if you know. Pay attention and read your manuals. And then do a good wash on the gas system and do a good scrub on the barrel. and then go to town, dry everything off, and then go with a bore cleaner over everything. Traditionally, you used to get the old military bore cleaner, which by the way was aggressive and designed to deal with a copper-lead buildup and also carbon and corrosive ammunition slash mercuric primer issues. Now you can't find any of that stuff anymore. And yes, it stank. It had an ether smell to it. There's a reason. It needed the ethers and the materials that were in the bore cleaner to deal with the corrosive residue issue. So today, mostly, and I say mostly, we don't have a corrosive issue. Now there is one point. There's still 762 by 39 corrosive every once in a while coming out of Yugoslavia. I don't know how much they have left. I know that you've seen images of what's underneath the ground there in Ukraine where the big-ass mine was full of ammunition and rifles for as far as you can see for miles. Well, that ammunition is left over from the Cold War. And a lot of it probably is from the middle of the Cold War. And if that ammunition ever comes to light, if I would assume they were using it in combat, a lot of that would be corrosive ammunition. You know what the good thing is? The AK is a forgiving dog when it comes to that. Some of the most abysmal rifles I've ever seen in my life are battlefield pickups from Vietnam. that had seen long, long tours of duty, more so than anything else you could imagine. Some were worm-eaten wood, but you open up that chrome action, open it up on the inside, looks like it just came from the factory. Outside, looks like it's been hit by the blood from, you know, aliens from, you know, acid for blood critters. Amazingly enough, the rifle would function. SKS or AKS, I've seen them both ways. I've seen both rifles in same condition. The weapon is so forgiving. This is why I said earlier this last week or two, if I had to pick a rifle up and I knew I'd be stuck with it and I could still probably have ammunition, it'd be the AK or the SKS. And to be quite honest, the SKS would be just as happy for me because it's self-contained, I can't lose anything. The rifle has a 10-round magazine, bad it is fixed. I can run with it, drop it, beat it up. I've seen beat up, really badly beat up, and it still functions. Again, the tolerances and the designs are what are called positive wear engineering points. Any place where the AK or the SKS, and for that matter, even the S, the Tokarev rifle, you may have seen the pictures of the Tokarev. The last model full Tokarev rifles that were built are all based on the same positive wear construction. All wearing surfaces are tapered so that they wear into themselves, even as the weapon ages and wears, even if the metallurgy wasn't all that great. All of the contact points where pressure or adhesion from point to point need to be perfect or need to be uniform. Even with a crappy piece of metal, the metal wears into itself so that it retains the basic performance of the rifle. So, I mean, basic performance of the particular action, component of the rifle. I've told you before, if you look at the Velma folding stocks, which is what eventually everybody copied in later folding stocks after Velma came up with theirs, And it's two wedges that work into each other. So no matter how long they wear back and forth, they never get sloppy. They'll just keep wearing out into each other. And if they go a little deeper as they get whipped, they like if you just keep scraping back and forth and back and forth and back and forth, it doesn't make any difference. They maintain that tension, and they maintain a perfect fit. And this is true with all the other working parts, basically on the AK if you look at the dimensions and specs and the SKS. So they're perfect in that respect for long, durable service life. Combine that with a chrome line barrel and chrome parts. and you've got a barrel that isn't good for 20,000 rounds, it's good for 80,000 or 100,000 or 120, kind of like the original FNFA-Ls. The FNFA-L, the bell-heap pattern, they almost put themselves out of business, because they built a, they put a rifle barrel on it, it was higher quality than anything else anybody was using, and it came back to bite him in the ass in all the African wars, because even though the rifles were tired, they never wore out, just kept going. Critical small parts could be replaced easily, which again, wait long enough, the extractor, the firing pin, and the ejector are all issues for any rifle. But if you build those like a brick doghouse, build them beefy, they're going to last longer. Well, the AK has all those features, and so does the SKS. So both of them have that advantage over most everything else out there. We have the advantage in quality of consistent metallurgy. The quality of the steels and materials and also the fit and finish and the tempering processes that we used were superior in terms of volume and uniformity. So we could go a little lighter and every little tissue shave makes it easier for the soldier to carry. And since we had braced a full battle rifle semi-automatic, it was kind of important. Where it needed to be beefy, the grand is beefy. Where it doesn't need to be beefy, they send it out to the best of their ability, but didn't cheap it. Didn't chintz it out. In the AK, they just went clunky, lunky all the way around. It may be clunky and lunky. Would it kill you just dead as anything else, but for a lot longer. Anyway, we're at 15 minutes, we are past the bottom of the hour and Ed, we're going to at least get the bottom of the hour break in here at 15 minutes till. I've been talking too long. So for everybody out there, it's Weapons Wednesday. And on Weapons Wednesday, well, we have a certain tradition for the bottom of the hour break. And even if it's a little late, it's still... This is my right. There are many people this way. Well, there is danger, and there's danger in our hills. Oh, here you're not the sinner of the view, though wild and crazy. Oh, the right of, in our hands, the right of. I tried a goodly speed, he made no external master. You forward march with speed, but you'll learn the back much faster when you meet our mountain boys. And the leader just starts, had to make what little noise and always hit the mark. Oh, the rifle, oh, the rifle, will prove no trifle. He no grave at home, back across the grinding water. As giddy he must come, as quality to the slaughter. But as way the job must do, and as soon as it has begun. If the engine's bigger, hold it but true, the clickers will be done. Hold the rifle, hold the rifle, in our hands, hold the rifle, hold the rifle, hold the rifle, in our hands. All right, we are back. It's Weapons Wednesday. Your mind is your first best weapon. But if you do not protect it with force of arms, it will, somebody will probably walk up and turn your head into a canoe. There'll be horrible chunks of linguine stuck against the wall behind you. And that's the end of the game. So much for the brain trust. So, we must physically protect ourselves from the globalist threat and from the kosher mafia that's planning on turning us into a communist hellscape the rest of the way if they can. This is why we're going to have to have an American war for independence and why you all need to be prepared to fight. Whatever weapons you do have, make sure you know how to use them, master them. I don't care what you carry, but master whatever it is that you plan on carrying. That includes what we've been talking about here with regard to maintenance and operation. The carbine is an incredibly simple and user-friendly rifle. But if not properly taken care of, the weapon will fail simply for lack of proper preventive maintenance and basic maintenance. You don't have to change parts. You need to be ready to clean the weapon. So, all the other accoutrements right now are in peacetime. This is where you take advantage of the inventory that you can find out there. By the way, remember it's 30 caliber. There's a lot of other 30 caliber kits out there you can pick up and use. The Swiss cleaning kits are still out there for about $10 a whack, which include a very, very high quality 30 caliber cleaning rod with 30 caliber brushes. So guess what? Everything you need has a jag, it has all the small components, typically has a utility tool, not necessarily what, you know, the same, your card mean isn't the Schmidt-Rubin, but Schmidt-Rubin is in 7.5, so guess what? It's .30 caliber. For all practical purposes, pretty much all that will inter-work with your rifle. You need to experiment depending on what it is you got. and find out what will work better for you. Put a maintenance kit together, collect brushes, cleaning brushes, toothbrushes, utility, S-R military produced brushes for that purpose, but Mr. Toothbrush is your friend. If you got an old toothbrush, don't throw it away. And by the way, know the toothpaste that's in your tooth, you know, might have some stuff in the tooth bristles of your toothbrush. That'll clean the gun. It's gonna come out, trust me. It will come off with what little might be there, no matter how hard you try. If it's a little worn, that's good. The brush isn't as aggressive for doing certain surface areas or crevices in the areas of the weapon where you need to get down in there. A lighter duty, finer script brush is a good idea. Don't forget Q-Tips are your friend. They are $300 to account at the Dollar General or Family Dollar. for $1.25 now which you still can't beat for what you're buying. Q-tips need to be in your cleaning kit especially if you're going to do the carbine, you're going to do the AR-15, you're going to do any of the new plastic guns, you've got to get down in there where all that gunk and junk is going to collect. Another one is safety pins. We used to be collecting safety pins, a couple of them off of the standard bandoliers. You don't see the bandoliers as often, but you put a couple of safety pins in there to give you a little something to get down into those fine points like the firing pin channel to get in there and work that out a little bit. And yes, I know they make scraping tools, but the nice thing about the safety pins is you can pin them to the cleaning kit pouch on the inside. They can't get lost. They aren't going to fall because they're a tiny item. But when you need them, you got them. See how that is? Stupid stuff that works. Kiss. Keep it simple, stupid. The big thing here again is even your handgun should be treated the same way. You need to be doing regular preventive maintenance and where you can break the weapon down safely, you need to make a point of doing that. Now, one last thing. Why, the first and most common problem is failure to eject. Why does this happen? I've talked about this many times, going to give you a quick refresher. Your extractor is a piece of metal that is tempered, usually it's triple heat treated so that it's springier. It has a spring tension to it to begin with, it has to be able to flex. Here's what happens and why your extractors fail and in most cases break. Everybody does fantastic maintenance on the gun and they think that that extractor, well it's going to just move back and forth on its own, which is true it does. It'll open up when it wraps that little paw around the end of the brass case. Well if it does that, if you look, you'll notice that that little piece of metal is coming up out of the channel that's cut in the side of the bolt. Don't you think that gets dirty? As that part gets worn, the surface finish wears and you get shiny metal. Wherever you have shiny metal, that means you have exposed metal. And what happens is the extractors, especially on the long extractors on Mausers, any kind, well any weapon, I don't care, even the .45, it's not that long. But if you look, take a look at how the extractors is attached to your bolt or to your slide, take your pick, whatever the gun is. Well, what happens is you shoot it, you lubricate it, some of the lubrication gets down there, some of it doesn't. Eventually, as the extractor wears, especially if it's an older firearm, you didn't put as much lubricant, nor can as much lubricant get in there, no matter how hard you try, unless you pull the extractor and clean the extractor and the extractor channel. If you don't, what's going to happen is the extractor will continue to flex. to do its job. But at the base, closer to where typically the fastener end of the extractor is, not where it grabs the brass, but the other end, it starts to lock into and bond with corrosion to the bulk area. Now the front still flex, but that's not where the whole of the thing is supposed to move. It all articulates. What happens as it oxidizes and gets stuck in there is that only the front of the extractor flexes. And it's only good for so many flexes in a short stroke like that, a short radical turn or bend, that eventually it starts a fracture, a crack fracture, and then eventually breaks. And you can see this if you do an autopsy of the extractor failures that are on most of the guns that are out there. So what do you do? Well, you learn to break down the weapon and you do maintenance on the extractor channel. If you do that, you will not have, well, probably you won't have any extractor failures until you've shot many thousands of rounds, many, many thousands of rounds, and you may never have an extractor failure. The biggest issue then is, well, how long does the extractor claw last before it finally gets so tired and worn out that you have to change that? Breaking is typically because the channel that the extractor rests in was not lubricated and also built up carbon and oxidation. Now, carbon starts out very dry. What is it? It's burned powder. The powder comes out. It's carbonized material. It bonds to whatever it makes contact with, which includes the area around your extractor channel. Eventually, that very dry powder becomes a moisture sponge. What does the moisture do? The moisture promotes oxidation with the right to steel or aluminum that you have that makes up the components of your rifle. That sucking sound, remember like Ross Perot said, do you hear the sucking sound? Well that sucking sound of moisture that you can't see is being pulled into those areas that by the way also move back and forth and there's tiny little wear areas there. And then it starts to rust. It's called oxidation. Oh my goodness, he's gone. He oxidized. Yes, but only a little bit. Yeah, and a little bit was enough. Certain weapons, because of this, were quite notorious in surplus circles as older weapons to have extractor failure. Argentine Mausers. Two issues. Number one, the material used for the original extractors. Number two, lack of maintenance on the extractor and extractor channel, which created the adhesion we're talking about, which is why typically the Argentine Mauser would fracture towards the extractor bank, the extractor groove on the extractor itself, the extractor claw. It would be backed by about Well, maybe say half an inch, but it always breaks in about the same place. Is that a design failure? No, typically it was a maintenance failure. Many survived quite well. The exact same Mauser in 30-06 is just as likely as not as 765 Argentine to have a problem when it comes to extraction if the extractor was not taken from the bolt. You clean up the extractor channel, you clean off the extractor, you reinsert the extractor, it works flawlessly. By the way, when you put it back in, you put a little light coat of lubricant. It could either be grease or it can be oil. Typically oil is a better choice, but remember that oil eventually will sloth off. Gravity sucks and so does impact energy virtually taps lubricant off of the material, something else most people don't think about. Remember, everything is interacting violently. And the striking point, well, if the oil is a light malleable oil, a light fluid, then what's going to happen is think about it when it gets struck. Parts of it are just going to be pushed away. It might drop on something else in the gun. We're talking micro, but micro adds up with parts that are relatively small, and most of the parts on your weapon are relatively small. So the big thing here again is prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance and maintenance is part of ensuring that you do not have piss poor performance or Catastrophic failure as in this can get you killed because your weapon fails kind of situations So let's work on that and again do a little research with each weapon you have by the way if you inherit a bunch of grandpa's guns They have the same TLC tender loving care that's necessary So you want to make sure that you got something sitting on the shelf? Just because it's even relatively new doesn't mean that it doesn't need to be taken care of in the exact same way. And again, this all came from the curbing conversation. Yes, I know, because all of it's interrelated. Extractors are the most common first failure on the weapon. Firing pins from wear and tear. Ejectors for the same reason, but also because of the nature of the violent energy contact we were talking about. Remember the ejector is pushing that case out of your rifle. It's pitching it so that it will actually, so the extractor will pull it out of the extractor, you know, out of the, uh, front of the bolt and out the ejection for whatever direction it's directing it to go. So the ejector is going to be tired simply because they wear down from beating the snout out of all that brass. We're at the top! We even beat this hour down big time. Got one hour, republic. Yes, with the new world order, we shall prevail. Ladies and gentlemen, the Empire is on the run. We're on the march. We'll be back in a few minutes. Grab a cup of coffee, use the bathroom. And the second round of the internet record is coming up right here on Liberty Free Radio. And on each rope there will be a name of one who has betrayed his land. Our leaders have forgotten the oath that they took when they swore to protect and preserve. Our freedom and rights and religion too, in whatever church we serve. They lined all their pockets and deceived the people, and most went along with the flow. But tempers are short. and the memories are long. Each name the people will know. When each rope is finished, it's tested for strength and packed in a bag with a hood. And upon the bag is the name of a traitor who did his country no good. Someday we will hear that Nuremberg plea when the hour is drawing near. I was only doing what I was told, another lie. And for those of you who don't believe, be around when the party begins. What next will be stretched and cries will be heard and the traitors will sway. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the 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 and 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 traded in your You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seemingly farm and keep our country deep. 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 so their children can be 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 will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Both 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. Pray to God bright as Iowoki vanished in the mist for once he came. His words were true. We are 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? Remember your training and you will come back alive. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the second hour of the Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Horky. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters on and behind the lines in occupied territories, east, southeast, north, and southwest. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on... www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. LibertyTreeRadio.org. And we're on satellite. We want to say hi to all our merchant operators out there. With everybody on what you're traveling on or resting over, the fact that you are listening, rebroadcasting to a multitude of other locations. We greatly appreciate both in analog and in digital. And it is Wednesday. It's Weapons Wednesday. It is the 17th year of open obvious and in your face Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K 2025 old earth calendar damage him. I'm a doctor. and 2025 Battle for the Republic, the very end of the Winter War, Book 2. That's right. We're in the cold rains today. We got real rain. We got torrential rain bursts today to the point where you couldn't see maybe 10 or 15 feet a couple of times, but also cold high altitude moisture. So it was a major block of wet. And that's classic spring rain, so we've never seen anything like it! Only if you're an idiot and you weren't paying attention could you say that. Because otherwise, yeah, it's Michigan. We see this every year, and we really do. So we're getting classic Michigan winter end and, you know, from spring into more pointed towards summer day by day. It won't take long. But until we get there those cold spring rains are the norm. I don't know about it being I don't know about I mean the end I'm here and The winner I mean up this way we got lost it was still getting snow Well, I don't doubt it I'll tell you what your weight on it for everybody listening that's Tommy up in the upper part of the lower peninsula And today, as cool as it was, if it had been farther north or if it had a little more time, and by the way, it was coming towards us, so you guys got snow, we probably got the leftovers. But coming out of the north, mostly, this particular wave, it was cold. We've had really warm, snuggly weather here for a few days, but this rain today was cold. and it was something to watch out for. Yeah, this is the kind of stuff we got you guys. We've warned everybody. Go ahead. Yeah. Also, Mark, this is 12 years since my dad's been died. Nope. Again, doesn't take time. March is on. Good friends that we've seen leave us, who we will see again. You know that. Everybody that we do know, we sorely miss, especially since I know all of them would want to be around for the fight that's coming right now. They all wanted to be here, seriously. So, remember every one of our friends. Thank you for reminding us, Tom. Appreciate that. Let's see, before going any farther, I didn't touch on any of the interesting things that are out there we need to be taking a look at today, especially in ammunition. I mentioned ammo. Centerfiresystems.com has got a bunch of special deals going on right now on Surplus. You need to go take a look at the ammunition deals. They are actually pretty decent and this includes some of that 8mm ball ammo. Now again, this is older ammunition and so I would use it with an eye for observation to ensure that everything does function properly. Remember, this stuff is older surplus that they're offering. Don't be surprised. Do you want to always pay attention? Don't just assume you pulled the trigger. It must have gone off. Maybe I wasn't paying attention. Yeah, you were. You noticed it may not have fired. May not have. To be cautious, always make sure you printed the paper. not hard to do. What I do is with surplus ammunition that's in question or even newer ammunition if it's in question, we'll pull it out and that's your next batch of training or shooting ammunition so you can go to the range. You're not going to waste it, but you do need to make sure everything's clean, make sure it's squared away, do not lubricate ammunition, you know that, but I'll just remind you because just in case We don't lubricate ammunition, okay, number one. Number two, we don't do not, do not, do not, do not, do not. That is an NOT. Do not tumble loaded ammo. Why? Well, here's the problem with tumbling loaded ammunition. The ammo was built with a particular type of powder. It could be flake, as I mentioned, it could be pencil rod, it could be donut. There's a number of different types of powder patterns. They burn in a particular way. But when you rattle it, you create a finer powder. The components, no matter how new or old they are, if you shake them enough, guess what? They're going to break down. What happens is you change the burn rate and pattern for the powder. This in turn will create what might be a very interesting result because you end up with higher cup pressures inside the chamber. This in turn may blow the brass out, could cause other damage. Damage you don't need so do not, do not, N-O-T, not. in any way, shape, or form, shake or jiggle clean powder. Not with a tumbler, not with a shaker, nothing. If you're going to do anything, you can take a piece of green pad if you've got something that's on the outside, and you can wipe that down with that very fine, fine green pad just to make sure you don't have any hang points or issues there. But it's a very simple process to remember. And again, prior to proper planning prevents piss poor performance. We're going to make sure we do right by you. But never, under any circumstances, are you going to jiggle or tumble loaded brass. You can disassemble it and reload it. Again, you can always clean brass, but you want to make sure that it's been, again, broken down. You can even recover bullets. If you pull bullets, this is something we haven't talked enough about, you can reuse a pulled bullet. There's no reason not to, okay? The big thing is to make sure again that you've disassembled it. You don't have to worry about the primers going off and the jiggler, but you should pop the primer On a case that you're going to be reloading first to help let the cleaning process clear everything out. You're then going to want to clean the primer pocket. You're going to brush it. You know, basically you can take either, there's a couple of different tools that are out there. You don't need to ream it open necessarily. In fact, typically you want to leave it just the way it is, if it's spec. because the brass will wear longer if you don't get too aggressive with trimming and stripping and brushing. And especially with the primer pockets, you don't want them to get sloppy. So what you want to do is use a little plastic paddle, like the size of the primer pocket, and just like it looks like a flat-plate screwdriver on the span of a little piece of cheap plastic. And you can get plastic screwdrivers, so you can use that. The idea is you clean out that primer channel after you've buffed it. And congratulations, your brass is almost as good as new and can be used for extensive periods of time if you are paying attention. You get greater life out of the brass, which is what we want. We want to be able to save money in one direction so we can spend more money on fancier goodies in the other. Prior piper planning prevents biz bore performance. Now another thing here again Somebody's asking here. Okay, one more time. It's Center fire systems comm Center fire systems comm and Also, I believe apex. That's right apex gun parts has brass Has ammunition and brass right? I don't know how much brass they have left. They had some 556 available, but they do have 8mm surplus ammunition in stock and I believe they've also got some of that out 6. I think theirs is Greek, but you can slap me in the microphone if I'm wrong. Well, we'll figure out real quick what it is because you'll see it. And take the time, check that out, see if it's anything that floats your boat, makes sense. They do have a certain amount of AP as in standard military AP. That's the fact that the German, a percentage of the German stuff, is German armor piercing pre-World War II and I believe also some post-World War II, 1945-1946 post-production, probably run by the French or by the, because there's a lot of that stuff still floating around, the end of World War II. A lot of the production was maintained. The tooling was either used in place or it was run to France and then it'll be marked accordingly. But initially, they didn't even bother changing the head stamps on a lot of this stuff. So that's where there's some confusion. And why always, like I said earlier, just assume it's corrosive. Just assume if it's that old, it's corrosive. Treat your weapon accordingly to give it the cleaning it needs and then get on with what other work you need to do. to maintain the weapon and always remember lubricate when you're done. Pick a lubricant, find the family that fits your purposes because there's all kinds of solutions but stick to it and be religious about properly maintaining your firearm. Now, we're at 20 minutes after. Well, we might have enough time. Ed, I'll tell you what. Let's see if we can do it. See if we can plug in the latest guns and gadgets right now. If we do that, we can make it before the bottom of the hour, and then we'll do the bottom of the hour break, obviously. For everybody out there, you're listening to libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org. And at 8 o'clock from 8 to 9 pm we're on WBCQ, the planet, 6.160. a lawsuit, and they're asking the Supreme Court to finally get off their asses and act. The Second Amendment has been under assault in the nation's capital. We all know that. And now these 26 attorneys general are demanding that the Supreme Court do something about it. This case could take down gun bans in Washington, D.C., California, Illinois, New York, and more. And the clock is ticking. Hey everybody, welcome back to Guns N' Gadgets, the channel that brings you the truth about your gun rights, without the spin. I'm Jared and if you care about the Constitution, the Second Amendment, and the future of gun ownership in America, this is the place to be. Hit that subscribe button, click the bell, and don't miss a single update. YouTube doesn't always show these stories, but I do, loud and clear. Before I tell you the 26 states that are standing up for the Second Amendment, gun con tickets are now on sale. This year it's in Cleveland, Ohio on June 28th at the Twist Drill Building and we're going to have an awesome time. It's going to be wicked cool. And they have a ton of great panelists as well, like they always do. I'll be there as well, several of our friends. All the brands and creators that are going are excited to meet you guys and tickets this year are the same price as last year.

It's going to be fantastic to get to see all of you guys there, maybe some new faces as well since it's in Ohio this year. Oh! I should also mention that tickets for the past three years have sold out, so go get your tickets right now over at guncon.net. I'll see y'all in June. Now everybody's saying, all right Jared, what are the states? Well, here they are. In addition to West Virginia, Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Wyoming. Now these states are, it's an amicus brief, and they're jumping on in support of the original case itself. Alright, right now the Supreme Court is sitting on multiple cases involving bans on so-called assault weapons and large capacity magazines. That's the Snope case for the assault weapons and magazines as well as the Rhode Island case, Ocean State Tactical versus Rhode Island for magazines as well. But another major challenge is knocking on their door, and it might just blow the whole thing wide open. This case is called Hanson v. DC, and at the heart of it, a total ban on commonly owned semi-automatic rifles and magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. The DC Circuit Court of Appeals actually admitted that these magazines are in common use for self-defense today. That is a direct quote from the circuit court. But... Somehow, they still upheld the ban. How? By pulling out a 19th century law banning Bowie knives. Yeah, you heard that right. Bowie knives and that kind of logic is what 26 Republican attorneys general led by West Virginia's JB McCuskey are now calling out in front of the highest court in the land in their amicus brief They argue that the common use test established in Heller should be enough if millions of Americans lawfully own these items then banning them violates the Second Amendment period point blank But here's where things get really twisted. The lower courts are ignoring the Supreme Court's decisions. Instead of sticking to the text history and tradition framework from the Bruin decision, they're doing something else. They're reviving the interest balancing through the back door. Now, they claim that this so-called unprecedented societal concerns like mass shootings combined with technological changes in firearms justify these bans. But Bruin and Heller both made one thing clear. If a firearm or magazine is in common use, it is protected. Period. The DC Circuit admitted there's no real historical precedent for banning these magazines, but they still tried to find some analogies. That's backwards. Guys, and Bruin... The analogical reasoning is just a tool, not the end goal. You don't get to say, yeah, these magazines are in common use and then ban them anyway. That's not how the Second Amendment works. If SCOTUS takes this case and follows its own precedent from Heller, Keitano, McDonald, and Bruin, then DC's ban is going to fail big. And when that happens, the bans in California, New York, Illinois, Maryland, they're all next. As of 2025, the following states have restrictions on firearm magazine capacity. Typically, they limit them to 10 or 15, but this is what I either remember or was able to dig up real quick. California has a 10-round limit. Colorado, a 15-round limit. Connecticut, 10 rounds. Delaware, 17-round limit with some exceptions. Hawaii is a 10-round limit for handguns only. Illinois varies by local jurisdiction like Cook County and Highland Park. They're both different. Maryland has a 10-round limit. Massachusetts has 10. New Jersey has 10. New York has 10. Rhode Island has 10. Vermont has 10 on handguns and 15 for rifles. Washington is 10, Oregon is 10 as well, and many of these laws have exceptions for law enforcement, military, or pre-existing magazines, and some states like Massachusetts are trying to ban those pre-existing magazines. Now some states also have grandfather clauses, while others do not. Court challenges are ongoing in several states, so restrictions may change. And, you know, always check your local and state laws if you're... living there or driving through there. But here's the catch, SCOTUS is already holding cases out of Maryland and Rhode Island like I told you earlier. They've been sitting on them for freaking months with no explanation. They're re-listed again for conference this Friday, which is the ninth or the tenth time that they've re-listed them. I'm starting to lose count. But as they keep kicking them down the line, you have issues like California's case just came up where the Ninth Circuit upheld the ban. So is that what the Supreme Court is waiting for? They see these cases are about to pop up and reach their final judgment. So are they going to take them and lump them all together and then really destroy gun control? I hope that's what's going to happen, but you never really know unless you're in that chamber with those judges. And anybody else who says they know what's going on is blowing smoke up your, you know what? Now these 26 attorneys general... In this case, aren't asking for anything new. They're not asking for a radical shift. They're just saying follow the law, follow the Constitution, follow the courts' decisions. So here's the big question. Will the Supreme Court finally step in or will they just keep letting the lower courts play constitutional games? I'm tracking every single update so make sure you're subscribed to the channel. Hit the bell so you don't miss anything new that comes out and share this video to help spread the word. The fight for our gun rights is not slowing down and neither are we. God bless America. Take care, y'all. and we are back. It's the bottom of the hour. You're listening to LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, LibertyTreeRadio.org. If you'd like to write us, we're at PBN PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130. That's PBN PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130. If you'd like to send in a music request, Send it to liberty at symbol provide.net. That's liberty at provide.net. For title, music request, all caps. Then if you can list the artist or band, the album if you can, and the title of the song. And of course, the sample would be great. You can set a link to demonstrate covers. We've played a few covers here for the last week, probably three or four different ones. that are as good or in some cases better than the original. So again, we appreciate the fact that you're pitching in and helping out with the network that way. And you get a chance to hear something you like. We're going to play next, Keep Your Rifle By Your Side, which is another related to Weapons Wednesday on a part of the agenda. Keep your rifle by Your side, Alderaan, here from Songs of the Second Civil War. O Lord, they just won't stay away singing. O Lord, for this I won't need pay when we take a stand. No, we must protect our lands, keep your eye full by your side. They'll come day and they'll come night, they'll have our children in their sight. O stand guard in every pass from north to south. Oh they can scream and they can shout They will never push us out Keep your rifle by your side No Lord, they just won't stay away singing Oh Lord, for this I won't need pay When we take a stand No, we must protect our lands Keep your rifle by your side And they'll have tanks cause they've got funding from the banks But we won't fall as long as we can fight They'll go on and say we hate you But they won't get past the gate Keep your rifle, don't stay away singing Oh Lord, for this I need pay when we take a stand No, we must protect our lands Keep your rifle, your star Have allies in the east from the Great Plains to Tennessee They help us hold with all that we do need But from the west comes another way From Red Sand, Fran or Burn, LA Keep your rifle by your side No, Lord, they just won't stay away Singin' For this I won't need pay When I see your face No, I must protect my place Keep my rifle by my side Singin' No, Lord, I won't need pay When I see my place Keep my rifle by Liberty Tree Radio, Eldorantiran, your rifle by your side. That's a cover piece, by the way, from the video game series Far Cry, if you're not familiar with it. And actually we did a horrible thing and turned that song into a Patriot song. And I'm sure a little spit-swapping ring knocking Yomikal wearing turd that you know, Opry set up the thing, you know, set up the game. Of course was given, you know, the guidelines for trying to be derogatory towards firearms owners. The last thing they figured is that somebody go, that song is pretty stinking on the mark. Why don't we just use it? And you know what? Everybody has been. So congratulations for our friends who are quick on the... You did a cover piece, keep your rifle by your side. And we're going to make sure that happens. All of you need to pitch in to make it happen. Now, a couple of things to share real quick. Over at MontanaAR15.com, yes, they still have some of that .38 special ammunition available. They also have primers. I want to say thank you to some of our listeners. I do get your emails. But they do have small rifle and they did have some large rifle primer. They don't have a lot. They don't have a big selection. But they've got some pretty good quantity volume deals right now. You need to take advantage of it. So check out Montana AR15. That's numeral 15. A MontanaAR15.com. Also... Don't forget they do have daily specials if you're planning on putting another AR-15 together if you cherry pick from all these different companies It is not difficult to put together an AR-15 for well under $300 and that includes a 80% lower receiver Delta team tactical in that respect has some really great package deals right now You're going to want to take a look at That's Delta Team Tactical. They look at the combos. There's dozens of different variants. And if you overlap that with CDM and the sports, along with the other air producers for parts and that offer parts, you can very, very carefully acquire not only the parts you need to put the rifle together, but the spare parts you need to keep her running for a very long, long, long time. And the spare parts inventory should be a priority. That's something you need to take care of and build up because if you've got a bunch of ARs, they are going to eat parts. That's just all there is to it. Again, the gun defecates where it eats. Something that is always an issue with certain firearms and because of that, all those issues I talked about with oxidation, etc. are issues that will develop with any weapon of that type. Again, it's not a big deal. If you know the firearm, you're going to know how to deal with the problem, congratulations. You can settle, keep it running, keep it operational. Think ahead of the enemy's curve. They think that you're so stupid, you're only going to be thinking shallow hell. Now, I don't care if my enemy does, but my allies, all of you guys that are listening, we need to be ahead of that curve. We need to be in the winning slot. To do that, we have to have the tools in the toolbox, and you guys are the ones that need to make that happen because we need it at the tactical level so that no matter how hard the bad guys try, we aren't going to run out of what we need to continue the fight. But you guys are the ones that are going to have to make that happen. So let's again organize accordingly. Over at Delta Team Tactical, I believe, in fact, hold on here. Make sure I get that right. I do have notes here. See, Mark, how about ding, ding, ding? How about I slap me in the microphone and use them? Oh, yes, I got to touch on that too. Thank you, Randy. Appreciate that. Pass it over here. Well, guess what? Yeah, I do. It's probably sitting at the other workstation. Oh, maybe not, maybe not, hold on. It may be sitting at the other workstation. Delta Team Tactical I've mentioned, so I got that one right. Hold on here, you got 15 million notes. You can imagine how this is. That's why, because again, I have things color coded too. Yep, also another ammunition issue. I believe yes, it is... Delta Team Tactical has a number of parts, 95 cents apiece, you may want to go check that out. I'm not sure if that actually survived to today. But anyway, 95 cents apiece, carbine buffer springs for the AR-15 and also other pins and components we've already mentioned. And as a matter of fact, I had that in hand also here, so everybody's passing me more notes thinking, is that it? No, that's not it. Thank you. I got three more pieces of paper to sort out here. That happens. OK. Anyway, Delta Team Tactical for those small components, but good thing I did move a piece of paper because there's another thing I quickly wrote down. AIMSurplus.com. AIMSurplus.com. Now here's something interesting you don't see very often. Law enforcement resold ammo. This is stuff coming from departments going along like those pistol, you know, trade in deals. This is law enforcement trade in ammo. Now one thing everybody's always looking for, 45 ACP, CCI, lawman, 45 ACP. This is in the blue box with the white. TMJ, 230 grain, 450 rounds per box for $19.95 a box, which is a reasonable price. That's CCI, lawman, for 45 ACP TMJ, 230 grain, and that is $19.95. We've also got federal premium, 45 ACP, 155 grain, frangible, RHT ammo and it's $19.95 a box for 50 rounds, which is good. And then Winchester, 40 Smith and Wesson, 180 grain FMJ ammo, 50 rounds per box. And that's $14.95 and that is Winchester. That's Flinchchester. We shoot a lot of Flinchchester. As a matter of fact, pretty good ammunition. Consistently, it hits where it's supposed to. That's over at aimsurplus.com. They have a separate category. This is police trade-in where they've done, they're buying the inventories where they're switching out guns. And in this case, you may have noticed if you look at some of the surplus pistols, you'll see .45 and .40 caliber. That's where this stuff is coming in, sideways with that pile of stuff. There's a pile of ammo that came in with it. And these three jumped out at me because I've had a lot of people that are using the 1911 or the Ballister Molina or any of the 45 ACP fill-in-the-blank pistols and CCI lawman 45 ACP TMJ 230 grain 1995 50 round box and federal premium 45 ACP 155 grain frangible RHT ammunition 1995 a box also and Winchester, 40 Smith & Wesson, 180 grain, FMJ, standard 50 round box, 14.95. That's aimsurplus.com. AIMsurplus.com, aimsurplus.com. Now, AIM also has PPU ammunition and they have SKS parts still in stock. Not much, but they do have some good prices, very reasonable prices by comparison to everybody else. One of the odd man things out, somebody was asking me about this. Have you ever seen an Albanian SKS? Actually, there were a handful of Albanian SKS that came in a decade ago. Now, how can you tell right off the bat? The Albanian SKS have two buttstock stashes instead of one. They have two push spring trap door finger catchers, Chinese puzzles, you get your finger in the air and fire it and it gets stuck. But the neat thing about that is it offers two different stations so you can actually have more stuff in the buttstock, which is nice because you've got space, might as well put something in there. The Albanians actually did them with a double cover like that. And what they had was an oil bottle and small part, you know, for tiny part combination container on one side. And they had the standard collapsible pull jag handle slash cleaning kit in the other hole. And then you have the cleaning rod underneath the barrel on the rifle where it always is, on the SKS and AK. And again, if you have an Albanian and maybe you got one, some of those were pretty used. Albania doesn't get rid of very much. You don't see a whole lot on the rent a revolution market from Albania. But they do have SKS parts over at aimsurplus.com, same place they have the surplus ammo I just mentioned. Also, another inventory site is centerfiresystems.com for SKS parts also. And in reality, with the inventory that they have over at Centerfire, you theoretically could build a rifle from scratch. You could very quietly buy so many parts, buy the critical parts first. Bolt carrier assembly, to me that would be the priority. But there are barreled actions out there. And one of the places to look for those on occasion is sarcoinc.com. Sarco. Sarco right now has had barreled SKS receivers for $75 to $125 a piece. Now, that's your base. And then if you're patient, and to be quite honest, I wouldn't worry about a wooden stock and paying top dollar. I would for 35, $37 buy a polymer choke stock of whatever style you prefer. The cheapest ones have the Monte Carlo cheek rest. They aren't anything you're right home about, but they work. And if you're trying to put more rifles on the shelf and you're trying to make an SKS affordable, The Monte Carlo cheek rest type SKS stocks are the cheapest on the market. I've seen them as low as $19.95 from some of the odd niche companies out there that maybe just haven't left over from the last 30 years. But if you go to all these different locations, yes, you can piece together an SKS, a nice rifle, for a very good price. A lot better than $600. Go ahead, color, jump in there, please. This is Todd down in Orlando. The VSO Gun Channel put out a video about three hours ago. I haven't watched it yet, but it's about how the DOJ is still keeping Biden's prisoners in prison. And PM Biden is not doing anything about it. It's about a nine minute video. You mean January 6? It could be more than that. The title of the video is DOJ is keeping Biden's political prisoners in jail. So probably primarily January 6th, but you know, I haven't watched the video yet. Well, one is of course the case down in Florida where you've got the guy who's former SF that they tried to coerce into being a spy and he basically told him to stick it. So they came to the house, they planted a grenade in the kitchen, you know, under the kitchen sink. Not exactly the best place to keep a grenade anyway. Again, this is stuff we've seen for as long as I've been alive where the Batfaggots have done this, especially the Southern ATF offices are notoriously scurrilous working with the Jewish mob. Remember, it was the Georgia ATF offices that were planting evidence in Bob Starr's case. It came right out in the courtroom. Nothing that Bob Starr didn't do anything, literally. They came into the back of his property, planted the materials that they wanted to catch him with later, and it came out of court and the jury later on admitted that they were so terrified of the feds that they found him guilty because they were afraid, but then they had bad feelings about it afterwards because, well, they did wrong, and they actually were recorded acknowledging that, and of course, The system did everything it could to disallow any follow-up with appeal. So just a heads up, if you think this is new people, it's not. The big thing is, it's the same scurrilous turds over and over again, the same clique doing it. Go ahead. I know she was a codefendant to those quite well. And neither of those said anything, but they got caught up in the case. And there was absolutely no evidence on them. And even though they took its trial, they were still given time. They still were found guilty of just evidence, planted evidence. This is happening over and over again. So they're out now, but for what? Same with the Freeman. They're out, but for what? They get their gun rights taken away from them. They didn't do anything illegal. So this is over and over again. Yes, you get time to play it either this hour or on the 8 o'clock. It's up. And that's the GSO gun channel? VSO. Okay, thank you. No, no, no. V is in Victor. V is in Victor, S for Sierra, O for Oster. There we go. Excellent. We'll probably play it to the 8 o'clock or your chance. Ed, can you look it up? We'll have it ready to go. Go ahead, call it or jump in there, please. Uh, wouldn't it be, can you hear me? We got you, go ahead. Okay, wouldn't it be funny if they planted something on them and you looked at them and said, sir, this has your name on it, you forgot to take his name off. Well, actually, that basically is what, okay, they, go ahead, jump in there. Okay, the most sterling example of that was Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction. They gave him 55 gallon barrels full of who knows what and he did not use those in the agency. He had some sandbags in a special place for himself. And they said, hey, he still got these. But when they went over there, every one of those barrels were the same ones that they had given in the same container and it said, yep. the United States of America. So they got caught with their pants down trying to prove that he had weapons of mass destruction and he was going to repurpose them into nuclear material for a warhead. And then they found out he wasn't doing any of that at all and made it look as though that they couldn't find them. They did, but they just didn't tell us the rest of the story. So that was like, yeah, here's some stuff for you to use against our political and religious enemies. And then 30 years later, hey, you still have that? Okay, great. We just wanted to know if you still have it. And then all of a sudden, you got a whole invasion of the country. And again, that's the largest scale example, though, but repeated ad nauseam at the smaller scale is it's not even that you knew the material was there because it wasn't, you didn't have it. And they literally, as in the Barb Starr case, they came into the back of the property. They were pinned down on this, guys. This is recorded in court. And yet, the cowards, the spineless turds on the jury, completely ignored even though later on they said they felt really bad and then somebody should do something. Of course this is after the jury had the ability to do something and basically became spineless turds and found Bob Starr guilty and then of course they did everything they could to hurt. him personally by putting him in jail, in prison, for an extended period of time, etc. No, as a matter of fact, I believe, now you've got to correct me if I'm wrong, I believe his wife passed away. I'd have to double check that, but I just had somebody in passing talking to me about that a couple months ago and I didn't get a chance I wasn't able to find out anything more. So I've got a couple of other people who were trying to track him down. Originally, Bob was, when his family was under attack, remember we shipped food and material down so his family was taken care of. In fact, we sent truckloads down. We could have sent money, but that would have been that we wanted it to be very symbolic and specific. So we loaded up trucks and took food and filled the house up with everything that they needed from pampers to food for the family and money for gasoline, money for heating, etc. The bad guys of course were quite perturbed over that because their logic is is that everybody's gonna shit their drawers and you know walk away Just reverse everybody stepped up to the plate did their part Many of you were listening were part of that too. So it worked. It did what it was supposed to do. Go ahead Tarnian guy from Ohio and matter of fact, she were you all Linda top your You're talking about Linda Thompson. Linda Thompson was working that case and in addition to that one of the people who was helping was JJ Johnson at the time. Right. I believe it was Linda Thompson that was another one, another attorney. In a matter of time, the Johnson and her tied up and moved out the Montana or something like that if I remember correctly. Right. There were a number of parties involved, some to collect or to try to collect evidence. to support them in the case. Again, what happened is to try and be politically correct. Everybody needs to back off. Don't worry, we're taking care of it. And instead of the assistance, it probably should have been on the case. People were. Well, we know what happened. They did what they did. Greg? Go ahead. Jump in there, caller. Yeah. Yeah. It's BC. I just wanted to get this in before the end of the show. If you go to amoland.com, amoland.com, amoland.com, you'll scroll down the page and you'll see the Bear Creek Arsenal NATO barrel, right charging side, complete upper, $199, and bolt carrier group charging handle the whole nine yards. It's a carbine length. And then, of course, if you scroll down just a little bit further below that, you'll see. And, woe on behold, an Anderson AR-15 complete assembled lower with adjustable stock for $99. So there you go, kids. A complete rifle for $300 and free shipping on everything. Can't beat that. Again, for a lot of people who don't want to feel they don't want to mess with the 80%er, Anderson's been around as long as aftermarket AR-15s have been built. Don't let anybody bad mouth Anderson. Anderson's back at the skin. Yeah, back in the 70s Anderson, there were only three options you had. One was a no-name brand, we don't even know who the hell made them. Anderson and then there was Blinkman and Blinkman, I know they're gone, they were absorbed by somebody else. And Anderson has been around for that whole period of time and they do know how to build an AR-15 despite what people try to say. So they are good enough for what it's for. Go ahead. Yeah, their lowers are fun. I've built several of them with the Andersons and I even own one of them myself. I built one for myself with an Anderson lower and I haven't got any problems with it. And you know, people just want to be prejudiced apparently. But anyway, I'm going to get on with the end of the show. Very good. Yes. And again, that's also at amaland.com. Amaland.com, you can go down through the scroll. Anderson AR-15 lower complete. Probably an M4, I assume. $99.99. That means it's got the standard collapsible rear folding stock. By the way, buy that now. You can always change those parts. It's the AR-15. It's the Lego rifle, people. It's about as plug and play as you could possibly get in a weapon. So if you feel you want to change something, it is incredibly easy to change something on an AR-15. There's no reason, again, not to have one. It's not that it's your, it may not be your first choice rifle, but everybody's got one. It's the gladiest of the day for the time being. And I don't see anything changing into the future except that we are going to need more heavy calibers, .308, .30-06, probably if the 6.8 sticks around, it may or may not. They may just drop right down to the 7.62x51 NATO. That's why they built it the way they did. However that works, larger main battle rifle cartridges are what's going to be needed for fighting mechanicals. And since everybody's bragging up a combination of AI and the idea that its feet will resist because the crazy town robot monkeys are coming, then we better have the ability to knock down the crazy town robot monkeys. And that means you need weight and penetration. We need distance too. We've got to keep them as far out as we possibly can. And all of you, you have the ability to embrace the weapons that are necessary and put them in your golf bag. It's like when you go golfing. You have different clubs or different jobs. OK? Just that simple. And again, cross training is fantastic. It's incredibly easy when it comes to the AR and the AR-10, the AR-15, the AR-10, mimics, direct, exact mimics of the same rifle. And by the way, we'll still be shooting government organics from the foreign vein, along with the mechanicals, so we need a little bit of both. And in either case, you hit them with one of those. Well, like I said, the 7.62x51 NATO, they usually stay down. quite nicely as a matter of fact uniformly too they drop like bowling pins. So we're almost to the top go ahead jump in there caller. Any luck with the paternity? Yes I got a I got a message back I don't know who it was but I've got an email so I've got to get back with them. Actually I've been in back and forth conversation four or five emails now. We're trying to look for a plain communication tag. For everybody out there, guys, The bad guys are in motion. Despite whatever happens with this president's regime, the enemy is unfought and has their resources intact to strike in America. They are going to do it. It's not an it. It's just a win. A blood power, Republicans. That's the new world order. A world like the Vietnam. The brown people are laughing at the color of the gas pump. I believe it happens there. Anyway, let's go. This is Knowledge. And to another dangerous episode of Forbidden Knowledge. My name is Craig. Here we are, April the 2. Not the Fool's Day, just April 2nd of 2025. In Michigan at the moment. It was raining today and it kind of stormed me here on and off the last couple days. We lost a lot of electricity in this area. Although I didn't lose electricity. I'd like people to call in today and we hope to join in. Otherwise, I'm just going to rant off the top of my head. If you have a topic you'd like to cover, see if I know much about it or help or get a conversation with you about it, that's great because I literally just looked up to the clock and realized it was 7 o'clock. And see, oh, it's Wednesday. I need to go on the air. Either that or tell Ed that I'm not going to be. So I literally don't have anything. I can have a lot of things on my mind. But if you want to call and talk about some of these things, that's great. I just turned on the computer so I can start looking things up if she come to it. Not really happy with Donald Trump. Now, as I explained in the last time I was on the air, although I'm very happy that that woman didn't get to be our president, reluctant to say I was in favor of Donald Trump, but certainly a better choice than that woman, at least I thought so. That might still be correct. I don't know. The jury is still out of that, obviously. But Donald Trump has been violating the constitution, disturbing his oath of office. He just hasn't been. Although he made a lot of promises, just like all presidents make a lot of promises when they're campaigning. At least he's doing something. He's trying to do something. But he's doing it unlawfully, a lot of it. So that's... That's the big problem. Either we still have a balance of power in our federal government or we don't. Are we now accepting kings in the office of the presidency? Because that's what he's becoming, where he can do anything he wants. And to hell with the consequences if there are any down the road. He's doing it. He's been implicated now in mass murder in the Middle East. And Ukraine, because he has not stopped weapons being going there. He's slowly allowing the weapons and money to flow. The reason that's against the Constitution, of course, is because Congress declares war, not the President. He's killed civilians in Yemen. And he was claiming to be the non-war president, right? He was going to be... He thought of all these wars, but although he might get us out of Ukraine eventually, he could have done it on the first day. He could have just said, okay, no more weapons were gone. Good luck, Zelensky. Bye, dude. Then that war was over. But no, he wants to try to get a deal out of it. He wants to try to get Ukrainian resources out of it. He wants to try to back out with something to show for it. So, okay, well, at least he's trying to stop that war. And he wants to basically have positive relations again with Russia. And that may be good or bad, depends on your viewpoint. Of course, we've been taught most all of our lives that Russia is the enemy. And so a lot of you are against him because of that. I, for one, think we need good relations with all countries. But that's just me. Including Russia. Yeah, did Russia unlawfully invade a sovereign nation? Yeah. I wish he had not done that. Yeah. But at the same time, we've meddled into this since before day one. At least as far back as 2014, we've been meddling in this. Doing regime changes and getting certain people elected in... in Ukraine. Overall, getting involved like we always do with all these foreign affairs, we have no business being here. So, we're to blame at this too. Okay, so, Tyler trusts he's doing something, but he's violated the Constitution. He's took an open office to uphold the Constitution against our enemies, foreign and domestic. And he has absolutely violated at least that time by declaring war, by starting wars. He didn't actually declare war, he just started bombing people. and continue to send bombs to the people who were bombing other people. So he's in violation there because it's only Congress can do that. If Congress thinks we need to go out war with the Houthis in Yemen, then Congress needs to declare war. As simple as that. And then this tariffs thing just started today. Basically, the next round of it started today. So, unless he's back down, I haven't heard the latest news. I haven't listened to the news in the last couple of hours. So, that could have changed already. But today was the latest round of tariffs that will be implemented. against China, more against Canada, and more against Mexico. And that represents about a, I think I heard the figure about a third of everything you buy in the store is coming either from China, Canada, and Mexico combined. So what's the way that I think that's going to do to prices? Think we're having high inflation? No, it couldn't be, right? Couldn't have high inflation. Now Trump says it's going to be the best economy in the world. Trust me. I'll make economy great again. Well, he's going to destroy the economy more than likely. Now, long-term tariffs can be a good thing, but it's probably not going to work because the next administration comes in, we'll start reversing all that. And then all the people didn't get all the corporations and investors invested in new plants to build whatever we want to try to build here again that we no longer build here. All their investments will go kaput. And that's why investors don't want to invest in this because the next Biden that comes in or the next Newsome or whoever it is. We'll just reverse all those tariffs and then all those investors got screwed. So they're not going to get screwed. So you probably won't see much investment. That'll just be another tax that the federal government gets from us. So I'm not happy with the, and tariffs, tariffs are a constitutionally, that's the purse, that's Congress. Congress decides tariffs, that's the President. So again, we have King here, trying to be King. Doing anything he wants. And now over 100 lawsuits against what he's done through his administration and through Doge, more than 100 lawsuits. I wish I had, and there was one that was really interesting that I, I don't know if this audience knows about it, I'm going to try to look it up here if I can while I'm doing this lawsuit. If I can find the right page, federal government since Trump. There was one very interesting. about the Second Amendment, Second Amendment that I thought being this channel is very much in the Second Amendment I was hoping. Because I had it up last time I was online. Okay, this might be the one that I saw before. Let's see if this is the one. Litigation tracker. Legal challenges to Trump. Administration actions. And let's see if I can, if this is the one. Yeah, this is not the list I saw before. So let me go back. This is probably not, this is not good radio, obviously. And I don't even remember the details about what that lawsuit showed. But there was one really interesting one about Second Amendment. Maybe somebody can call in and tell me to refresh my memory because I don't remember exactly what it said but I saw it there. Ooh, and I got to talk about that and then I got busy with other things. So, okay, I can't find it very simply. So it's not something I'm going to be able to look up on the air here. Again, I didn't have but 30 seconds to prepare for this show because I lost track of time. I'll have to look it up later and maybe some of you already know about it. So he's violating the Constitution there by bypassing Congress. You see the judicial, the legislative and the president, the administrative, this was part of the balance of power that our founding fathers instituted and that's why it's included in the Constitution the way it was. So that one branch of the federal government couldn't get out of control like Trump has basically done. He's gotten out of control. And so far nobody's stopping it. Now Congress and the Senate, they're both a majority of Republicans. So they're kind of impotent on this. They're apparently not going to do anything. Of course, Congress has been impotent for decades anyway. They've allowed presidents to go to war without their approval. Then tariffs, I think they probably pretty much just abandon that, also let the president do whatever he wants. But other presidents haven't taken advantage of as much as Trump has. Then all the executive orders that have been signed, this is amazing. So anyway, he's doing something. So, okay, good or bad, he's doing something. Gotta give him that. So my feelings about Trump are kind of half and half. I mean, he's finally the constitution, which is a definite no-no. He could be... You could impeach him for that. Well, certainly. That would be certainly an impeachable offense. Back and forth, the court says it takes courts months, if not years, to react to some of the things he's doing. So we're heading long into this abyss, whatever it is that we're coming out of here, it's going to be bad if we get involved in a war with Iran. Iran is the big one now. He seems to want to get us out of the war in Ukraine. Of course, we were never officially at war, but we've been proxying it for three years now. Actually, more than like 10 years. even before Crimea. Then we've been proxying with Israel for decades also, more like 70 years with Israel. And now because Bibi wants it, that Netanyahu, we are going to probably be going to war with Iran. Well, he better get off and get this war of his, what do they call it, the art of the deal. Better sit down and talk with Iran, because Iran doesn't want to go to war. Iran has said many times they don't want to go to war. They will protect themselves. They don't want to go to war. They're not looking for war. They aren't building nuclear weapons. However, there's something they are doing. They prepare themselves to the point where they could have a nuclear weapon very quickly if they wanted, if they decide to do so. Frankly, based on the fear mongering, the war mongering that Donald Trump is doing, I would think they probably should be building a nuclear weapon because they're going to need it. But what they have done, they have nuclear power plants. And they refined their own uranium. They're centrifuges. I don't remember the exact numbers, but uranium only needs to be refined to about 20% for nuclear power plants. But they went beyond that and made uranium refined to about 60% to 65%. So there is no legitimate use, no legitimate need, I should say. for a country that does not want nuclear weapons to refine uranium to that level of degree to 60 to 65 percent. In other words, they've set themselves up so they can – because it takes time to do that. Now, they have a certain stockpile of that now at 60 to 65 percent. You need up – so I think it's like 90 percent to actually make a nuclear weapon. But they've got it to the point where if they wanted to do that within about a week, they could refine that into the 90 percent they needed for a nuclear bomb. And they have a lot of missile technology. They're pretty advanced in missile technology. They probably promote something on a missile and be able to deliver it somewhere. So they are, most accounts that I have listened to say we are about a week, they are about a week from being able to actually have the refined uranium to make it into a nuclear bomb. Okay. But they haven't. And they've publicly stated they weren't going to, they aren't going to. And in fact, their government has specifically forbid it. through their, I can't remember the name of their particular religious name that they use, there's a particular name they use. The ayatollah says that no, we will not be having nuclear weapons. It's against their religion essentially, against what they believe. They don't want a nuclear weapon. But they have, but frankly they have set themselves up to where they could have a nuclear weapon pretty quick. Now you could say they may be doing something in secret, that's possible of course. They have these deep underground facilities where they, are protected from our bombs, by the way, even our bunker busters, they say, that even our bunker busters won't be able to destroy them, because they've learned their lesson with Israel over the decades. Every time anybody got close to doing anything nuclear, Israel would come and bomb them or kill their scientists, so they went deep underground. Now, Iran is very close to having a nuclear weapon if they want. Trump was the one that got, you know, Trump wants a deal. He wants a nuclear disarmament deal for make sure that Iran cannot build a nuclear weapon, right? That's his stated goal. And he wants it because B.B. is insisting on it. That's why he wants it. But they're close to getting one. Iran doesn't want one. Iran even signed a nuclear deal back during the first Trump administration. Does anybody remember this? Try to remember the name of this. But there was already a nuclear deal. Which Trump got us back out of. So that treaty no longer is valid because Trump backed out of it. Back more than four years ago. Now he wants to have some kind of new deal. Either that or he just wants to bomb the hell out of it. Iran, we don't really know. He's very good at standing one thing and doing something else. Throwing out threats all over the place and then doing something else or backing down quietly and not mentioning it again. He's famous for doing that. He says all kinds of... He's got like a diary of the mouth. All kinds of crap coming out of his mouth. I don't even think he realizes what he's saying half the time. Making all kinds of threats, thinking he's going to help him with his heart of the deal. Or he's just making bold threats to other countries. Even with countries like Canada. Canada is supposed to be our friend, right? Why are we making Canada our enemy? That's what he's doing. Canada has a new Prime Minister. Is that what it's called? A Prime Minister in Canada? I think that's what it is. It's not a president, right? It's a prime minister. I can't remember. I don't follow international politics as much as I probably should to speak on this issue very precisely. So this is the big danger right now. If Trump, we've got to listen to what he says, however, how much do we know to ignore? Because he's, I'm glad he said the thing, we should be ignoring. Hello, Ed. Are you saying Trudeau was a friend of America? Who was a friend of America? Trudeau. Who was the Prime Minister of Canada who was forced to step down. You're saying he was a friend of America? Well, Canada traditionally, for all of my lifetime, has been our closest trading partner and considered a friend. We can back in war and they can back us in war, all the way back to at least World War I. They've also in current time, well, in current time, you know, A lot of people, where's Kellogg's cereal made, Craig? You shouldn't know this because it's a Michigan thing. Probably Battle Creek, but I know it could be farmed out by now. It was in Battle Creek. When I was living there, it was farmed out to Canada. Parts of the automotive industry has been farmed out to Canada. They've picked us apart using the Nap and Cat Treaty between Canada and Mexico. A lot of our industries have gone both sides of the border. Nobody talked about what's actually gone north to Canada. I can tell you Kellogg's, the Kellogg's Center is still there in Battle Creek. They still have their museum and everything right there, but a majority of Kellogg's is now controlled and run out of Canada. They do General Mills there too? I can't remember. Post. Actually, I don't know. Whichever one has Kellogg's, the mother company of that, is now out of Canada. Their production, everything is shipped across the border, done up there, and then shipped back. Well, this is not really anything new. Our industry has been going south for all of my lifetime, and this has been part of the master plan as far as I can tell. Greg, when we ship the stuff north to Canada, we pay terrorists sending stuff to Canada, and they've never paid terrorists back to us. Well, the terrorists aren't necessarily a bad thing, so I'm not, but if they can be good, then they can be bad. I know, I know. I'm just saying this, like, as long as you've been alive, as long as I've been alive, We've been friendly with Canada, but as far as trade's concerned, we've never had equivalent warfare trade with Canada. Never. It's Canada. They don't produce, they never really produce much. So we don't think about maple syrup or what was one piece they made on the space shuttle. Oh yeah, the arm. How many of those do we need anymore? Because we discontinued that spacecraft. We got at least six of them used. It probably could go pretty cheap. I can think of one company up there that I've dealt with a lot over the years, and it's just because of dealing with computers and sound blasters. The sound cards for computers was made in Canada. Well, assembled in Canada. The parts are actually manufactured and shipped in from China, Japan, or Taiwan? Taiwan, yeah. Yeah, and okay, so now the price, okay, our trade with Canada is going to raise the price of cars, not necessarily that they build many cars there, which they do build some, but it's the parts. I mean, you can't buy an American car today. You can't make a fully made American car today. So all cars are going to go up even if it has an American name on them. Everybody has to understand that. Just because it's a Chevy or Ford doesn't mean the price is not going to go up. Here's the cute thing is, if you were to look at all of the major manufacturers, even the sub-manufacturers right now, they do not want to produce a car that costs less than $20,000 for a family or an individual to buy. They're discontinuing small carters with a lot of the name brands like Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, they're all getting rid of their small car line and only producing larger vehicles end up, you know, four door sedans and up to like SUVs. The only car company that's really producing small affordable vehicles right now is actually Kia. Kia, is that South Korea? Yeah. Well in China too, but China we basically have those Chinese cars. No China's cars, China makes small cars, but they make them for over there and you can import them to the US, but they're illegal to drive. Yeah, I actually have some, I actually have a little bit of first-hand experience because I actually only, a lot of you may not understand or know this, I have a, I have some odd trucks. that nobody believes exists in this country. I have a Mercedes truck, which is actually a military truck from Belgium, well actually made in Germany. I have a Volkswagen truck, which people don't understand, but that was made in the 80s. In fact, we call them Caddies based on the Rabbit. I also have a, it's 50 miles per gallon, I also have a Honda truck. So, well, you go to the dealer and they don't do, no comment on making trucks. Well, they make the key. They call them keys, depending on how you pronounce them. Japanese trucks, different parts of the world have different requirements for on-road use. And in Japan, because the price of fuel is so high, they have these mini trucks. Now, this truck is, will almost fit in the back of a bed on one of our full-size trucks. It's almost that small. Mine's a right-hand drive instead of a left-hand drive. They won't let those things drive on the road here. They say it's illegal, but they'll turn around and they'll take I can't remember what car company is, but basically it's a golf cart and Put it on the road and count that as an as an idea as a worthy Electric vehicle for driving on the road that you can license plate and get insurance on those little cars Which actually have more features and can go further or not? It's pretty good The Department of Transportation can basically exclude anything they want by making certain rules and then other companies around the world just can't compete anymore or can't make it to the satisfaction that the Department of Transportation doesn't change things and then make their car obsolete in this country. So there's a lot of ways the U.S. can keep other countries' vehicles out, just like Europe. From what I'm saying, our vehicles basically are not sold to Europe. That's another series of countries we're making enemies with as all of Europe at this point. But most of our cars can't go to Europe because of the size and because of other instances where their laws don't allow them. No. That's just for our cars. Anything made by Tickford, which is poured out of Australia, can be sold in Europe. It's literally discrimination against the US when it comes to areas. If it's manufactured in the US, they won't take it. But if you can get it manufactured in Australia and get it shipped to you in the UK, you can have it. Yeah, so the problem is now, folks, prices of a lot of things are going to go up. How quickly? I don't know yet, but during COVID, we saw a lot of inflation. I think we're going to see that same thing now. Well, my point with the automobile industry, and you're going to see this happening more, is they themselves already started this process while Biden was in office because of the Green Deal. It was not cost effective to make small vehicles because they want to push everybody into electric into the small vehicles. And the small vehicle range with the electrics are way up there above the 20,000 mark. So they don't want to force people into the electric cars, Craig. They don't want to make an affordable gas engine for below $20,000. That's the minimum. $20,000, it has to be above whatever they build. And all the industries have gotten together and they've agreed to this. That they're not going to make a small cover. that will run comparable or get better mileage than an electric car, okay, if it costs below $20,000. If they make it, they still have to sell it $25,000 and up. 20,000 is just the bottom price that they've all agreed to. That's where it's going to be. And a lot of them, it's not worth building the smaller cars with the smaller engines that will go farther, you know, and then put it at that price when they can just sell a full-size car. They don't have to retool their shops and everything to build it. Well, China actually, I don't remember the name of the company. It's a huge company in China that makes electric cars. And their estimates were that if it wasn't for all the restrictions and tariffs and all this stuff that's here in the United States, that car would sell for around $10,000 here. And their budget cars would sell for about $10,000. The auto companies, including the ones in China, as far as the US is concerned, In the next five years, you will not find an automobile regardless of whether the terrorists are doing it or Trump was in office or Biden was in office. Five years, there's going to be no cars that you can purchase for less than $20,000 here in the US. That's a decision made by, I can't remember what it's called, but it's like OPEC, okay? It's like all the countries that have oil companies come together and they decide to price oil and what's going to be the standard currency for oil. It's like that except this is the automotive industry. They've come together and they've decided that there's not going to be anything produced below $20,000. Well, in five years from now, because of the inflation we're going to have, it's probably going to be more like $30,000, the minimum. And the fact that they want to get rid of our currency is probably going to be the amaro. As last I heard, they want to call this new digital dollar they want to do. Boy, we're headed for some really perilous times here, and I'm not feeling much of a favor. I want to briefly go over, since I'm thinking about it, the state of cars like in Japan, like that truck that I have, for instance, we're talking a three-cylinder engine about 660cc, so that's like a small motorcycle these days. Three-cylinder engine that's, in the case of the Honda, it's underneath the bed of the truck. There's a square plate you can remove and some of them have the engine under the cab. You know what's funny Craig is? It has the same power and safety features as a Raptor. If you know what a Raptor is, it's just a three wheel tricycle that they flipped around the other way and put a cab on it and are calling it a car. Well, it's actually a half ton capacity. It's a four wheel drive. And what's interesting also is it's very small, it's all small, but the sides fold down so you can put like a pallet easily on, like with a fork truck. You can even take the sides off easily. The back folds down just like a regular tailgate and the sides fold down or remove, like you can remove all of them so it just be a flatbed. You can equip them with dump trucks and such too. Sometimes the engines are behind the rear wheels. So there's three different locations. Kasubu makes them, Mitsubishi makes them. All the Japanese company makes them. in different configurations. Sandbar, what is the name of the, uh, Subaru. But the engines generally have three different locations on them. I like the Honda that I have because the weight is balanced in the middle of the truck. It's underneath the bed. So anyway, they're pretty practical things and they are legal to drive on the roads in many states. Not all states, but many states you have to look up your individual state. They're hard to get because so many people kind of want them. They're kind of hard to get. They have to be imported and importing and make some costs three or four times what they really were. So that's almost a killer for the deal. But anyway, I had mine for about 20 years now or more. And then once you get them here, you cannot, I think there's only one state that will let you drive them, Craig. If you could take it to Montana, I'm pretty sure Montana is the only one where it's legal to drive those trucks. No, actually there's a lot of states. I haven't looked it up in a while, but many states you can't. You're right. Let me see. I think it's spelled, let me see, legality. Which states? Anybody know of this AI? Do you trust it? When you go Google and then use the AI to ask questions? No, you cannot trust AI search or AI doing anything like you can't trust Wikipedia because the people that are entering it are not trustworthy. The people who have entered the answers to the questions for the AI, I've gone over this on the town hall meeting several times. I've read out the the what they're looking for the job description thing Yeah, you have to be you have to be politically correct you got to be leftist and you have to be an ally of the LGBTQ community to come up with the right answers for AI to trick to train me at the AI what's right and wrong which is why AI has been so racist when it came out initially They've had to fix some of the filters on it because of the stuff it was doing, although it was reverse racism. So for the left it was fine. Sounds kind of like Wikipedia. Yeah. Well, here's what AI Review says. And if you're in any state, you can actually look up your own state's laws to direct off their websites to find out if it's true or not. Oklahoma, Montana, North Carolina and Florida are among those that permit their use on road. They call them key trucks, K-E-I, or Japanese mini trucks. So anyway, there are some states, and Michigan, I can't remember Michigan, Michigan, you can buy them anywhere and use them anywhere if you're on your own property, of course. Like farm, they're quite often used for farm work use, and that's what I mainly have mine for, on the property. It's so much smaller and narrower, it's almost like your I can't remember what you call them. I think I probably had mentioned one of the brands. So, an off-road four-wheel drive, small vehicles that you can use on a trail. So, I was running for that on my property. The Raptor, Craig's the reason why I mentioned Raptor, it's not an off-road vehicle. If you look at the Raptor, it's basically considered a sports car. It's high end. You're going to pay more for one of those things than you did the truck. But if you take a look at what's in a Raptor car compared to what's your truck, your truck is more stable, more safe because it's a four wheel platform. The Raptor is only a three. They got rid of the way they fixed the rolling problem with the trike. They flipped it around and put the two wheels in the front and the one wheel in the back. seating positions. But yeah, basically they sell those things as little sports cars. But that thing is considered to be street legal, whereas yours, which is a utility vehicle, which is more stable, isn't set up for racing. Yeah, well they're not racers though. It doesn't make sense, yeah. I've seen them in the University of Michigan. I used to have them as part of their fleet on campus just driving around as service trucks. Oh, David. And in Texas, since you're in Texas, Hannah says, key trucks can be driven on roads with speed limits up to 45 miles per hour. So they're lower speed. Yeah, I know somebody because I know somebody in Austin who had a couple who said he couldn't drive them because They don't let him do it in Texas Well, they change the rules on occasion too. I don't know if Texas has changed their rules, but I know a lot of states change their rules frequently. They're becoming more and more acceptable. But anyway, you can be driven on roads up to 45 miles per hour. So you're kind of limited to almost basically city use if you have a truck in Texas, one of those trucks. And to be honest, I mean, I've had mine up to about 70 miles an hour. It's hard to tell exactly, but I had it up to about 100 kilometers per hour on the speedometer, which I think is around 65 to 70 miles an hour, if I recall. But that's like full out after a mile of acceleration. So they're not meant for speed obviously. And in fact, some of them, I know the Chinese version that you could get here in this state, they actually had them limited to like 25 miles an hour or something. Certain companies made them where they were limited to much lower speeds even though they couldn't go higher but they weren't limited. They put governors on them. Like I said, anybody who's familiar with the Gator, they're about the size of the Gator. The ones that they used at the University of Michigan, that's basically a John Deere truck version of one of their tractors. Yeah, and they aren't, I don't know what John Deere makes, I don't know what a Gator looks like exactly, but these aren't, they look like- I don't think Gator is a John Deere brand, but Gator is what the University of Michigan had, that was a brand name of the vehicles that they used. And they had governors on them. But, you know, Dad worked maintenance and he knows a bunch of the guys here took the governors off, which is what limited it to the 25. Yeah, and it wouldn't be safe in a crash. I mean, a crash standard is going to be extremely difficult for those because the cab over, your feet are basically right at the front bumper. There's no crush room there for the vehicle. You're right there. So there's almost no way they're going to pass the crash standards for highway use. But anyway, they are allowed in at least those five states that I've read here. And many other states will have other possible restrictions. Because I thought about half the states had some sort of, yeah, okay, states with, here's the states with restrictions or prehebitations. California, New York, Massachusetts, Utah, Missouri. So there's a list of about a dozen states in total that have some use or full use on the roads, although 45 miles per hour in Texas and Oklahoma, I see is also 45 miles an hour. North Carolina is 35 miles an hour. Florida is 35 miles an hour. So there are restrictions. Those would be city use. And frankly, in a city, because I've seen them also used on sidewalks, because you can equip them with snow brushes for brushing off snow on the front of the truck like this because they're four-wheel drive. And out of where I've seen them going, because of a city and they need to keep the sidewalks clear for all the students because a lot of walking is done for students on campus. And they drive around the sidewalks. They're that small, they can basically go on the sidewalks. That was one of the uses that the University of Michigan used them for when they couldn't get their... Welcome on, the street sweepers, the small ones are pinned. And they started using the gators with the bottom. So anyway, I've got one of those trucks. And I'm going to get it. Mine is not running right now. And in fact, it hasn't been running in more than 10 years. And I got it in storage. And now I did some welding yesterday. I got a trailer that I just put new wheels on and worked on the brakes. And I'm also working on a mounting for this welding to mount a witch on the trailer so I can hand-winch it up there. Because it doesn't run at the moment. It sort of turned the key gas leaks out of it. Because electric pump and there's leaking somewhere and I don't know where it is exactly. It's some kind of fuel injected under there that I can't see. Anyway, I'm taking it in to get it worked on and I plan on putting it on my property. But there's a little car show around here that I, a little local show that I want to bring it to also. Just as a little joke is what I want to do. I'll put a little, you know how the trucks on the road, the big trucks, they're oversize load. Well, I want to put one of those same kind of yellow signs. It says undersize load. and take it to the shelf. That was a little joke. Because people just, you don't see them around here. So anyway, I got a lot of projects that I've been working on and trying to do. But anyway, I'm finishing up on this Iran thing. If we go on a war with Iran, that'll destroy our economy even worse than what Trump's doing with the terrorists. If Trump really does, his legacy is going to be totally, totally screwed if he decides to go with a war with Iran. Because What's going to happen with Iran? The only way you're going to... you have to completely nuke the whole place in order to win. You're not going to win against Iran. Bibi's not going to help any with this. It's going to be us. The last time Bibi tried to attack Iran, all his fighter jets had to turn around because they recognized some kind of new tracking system. I don't know what the right word is. Some type of system for... for targeting or tracking that they didn't recognize and that's good they got scared and ordered they all ordered them all off because Russia has been helping them with munitions as well as China, so They're getting help from other countries other powerful countries Our bombers and our air bases and all our military facilities in the area are going to be extremely vulnerable. We've got about 50,000 troops in that area and various bases all over the country, all over the world, all over that area, I should say. We've got one air carrier, a cap carrier group there and another one on the way. That's another 15,000 troops there, two carrier groups, it's all 15,000 troops. They're all going to be sitting ducks. Right now we're sending munitions off into Yemen. Depending on the type of missile system, I can't remember the name of it, one of them, what they've been using, has a magazine capacity of 96 missiles. And when that's expired, they have to go and, they basically have to leave the area to get restocked. They can't get them reloaded. on the run, so to speak. I see they have to go back into a port and get them prefitted to fire more missiles. So, and our stockpiles are running low. We've given a lot to Ukraine and now we're trying to use them. And if it comes to a war with Iran, we're going to definitely be on the losing end here. And what's going to happen is Iran, if Iran gets attacked, They're going to be targeting oil fields in Saudi Arabia. They're going to target and block everything going out of the Straits of Hormuz, which then is going to get China deeply involved, because that's where they get a lot of their oil from. It's going to be a world, about a third of the oil in the world goes to the Straits of Hormuz. And that's going to send global economies all over the world spiraling out of control. We're going to go from $80 a barrel, whatever we are now, $60 to $80, it fluctuates of course. We're going to go well over $200 a barrel immediately. It's not going to be pretty. You think $3 a gallon gas or $3.25, whatever you're paying right now is bad, let's wait until it hits $10 a gallon or more. Because that's what's going to happen if it comes to this. We are a sitting duck. All economies in the world are going to suffer if we go to war with Iran as Trump is threatening. Let's hope his honor the deal gets an agreement together before he does start bombing Iran because if he starts bombing Iran You can call this country quits as far as the economy goes Yeah, we don't expect Iran Iran is no Iran is literally no existential threat to our national security in the United States They're thousands of miles away. None of missiles can hit can hit the United States That we they are no threat whatsoever. There's no reason to go to war with Iran except to please be be His Highness the BB here in the United States of Israel. That's the only reason to go to war with Iran. And BB's been pushing us. He was, BB was the one trying to push us into Iraq. And Syria and Libya, there was a list of seven countries. You can look this up. I think it was General Wesley Clark that revealed one time all the seven countries that I basically we wanted to attack and it was all in favor because of Israel. We need to get away from Israel, but obviously that's not going to happen. We're getting deeper and deeper in Israel. We're going to be in war because of Bibi, as it looks like. Well, we already are. Why are we attacking the Yemen? Are they a threat to our national security? Have they attacked our ships? They have now, but they really hadn't attacked any of our ships before. The last year or so that they've been blocking and firing at ships, they have not attacked our ships. until we started attacking them and all of a sudden now they're attacking us and for good reason they're defending themselves. They're at war with us basically since the United States has gotten to war with them. They have mental missile launchers. They get targeted. Do they move them immediately? Just like we didn't hit any SCUD systems in Iraq back 20 years ago or whatever long it's been 25 years ago. According to somebody who knows, Scott Ritter, a weapons inspector for the United States, says all the missiles we fired and all the bombs we dropped in Iran didn't, sorry, in Iraq, did not hit any SCUD missile launchers, the model ones. The same thing's going to happen in Yemen. And in Yemen, we basically killed, it's been mostly civilians we killed. We've been bombing apartments and such too. Because we think a general was in there visiting his girlfriend. That's the kind of thing we're doing. That's a war crime, but the mainstream media isn't talking about that. The legacy media. I hope you all are watching other various podcasts for better information than what you're getting on CNN and BSNBC, ABC, CBS, all of those. I highly suggest you pretty much ignore most of what you're hearing on the Legacy News. It's good to hear what you're supposed to know, but then you ought to go and find out what you're not supposed to know. At least that's the way I view it. Because I listen to NPR, so I know I'm getting a bogus story there. I'm getting the agenda-laden government story that they want me to learn. So I go all square and I've mentioned I can mention a few of them if you want to write this now on YouTube and that's why I get most of my information on YouTube. YouTube hasn't been greatly censored yet as far as this kind of information. They're doing a lot of censorship now for a course in our country in the name of Bebe. But there's a program that I highly recommend you check out. The first one I recommend you check out is Junching Freedom. Check out that one for sure. Scott Ritter, Douglas McGregor, Jeffery Sachs. These are all these very important people that know a whole lot more about all this than I do and more than you do. So you got to check that channel out. And I'm not getting anything to say any of this. I want to check out a channel called... The PBD podcast is pretty good most of the time. When they talk about Israel though. It seems like they must be paid off by the lobby. Either that or they just don't want to rustle any feathers in the Israeli lobby. And the opposite goes for that T.Y.T., the young Turks, the opposite goes for that. In other words, they are very much against what we're doing in the Middle East and going to war. But for a lot of other issues, they're full of crap. So you've got to take these, you've got to understand what they're about. And who they might be paid off for or who's sponsoring them because every channel on YouTube except mine Every channel on YouTube is either monetized or they got affiliate links or they have sponsors Or they have the way to make donations. I don't have any of those on my YouTube channel I'm very much out and away from all the other ones in that respect But but all that that's what YouTube exists. It's moneymaker for them Sometimes a show called Redacted has good information, but they have quite an agenda too sometimes, and sometimes they get off on things like UFOs and the pyramids and things like that, which is okay. And somewhat maybe to them other than I can't, you know, I don't know how to judge all that stuff sometimes, so I don't bother with that kind of thing very often. But politically they have a lot of good information to see who else can I recommend listening to on YouTube. Candace Owens sometimes, also, she's very much against what's going on in our country, doing with Israel, even though she's called one of the biggest antisemitic in the country. That's a badge she was probably actually when you listen to her talk about it. She's not antisemitic at all. She's anti-Israel about what they're doing, which is not being antisemitic. But a lot of times her program gets off on Andrew Tade and other celebrities and stuff, which, okay, who cares? I don't care about any of that. But politically, a lot of times she's really good. There's other big good stations out there to listen to. And I can't think of them at the top of my head at the moment. But judging freedom, that's the one to start with and then try to branch off from there. Judging freedom does not seem to have an agenda. They can say pretty much anything. So far, they haven't been knocked off the air. Not too many channels are being knocked off the air as much as they were during COVID. From what I've seen so far, you can still say things about Israel on YouTube. And all that's going to last is now our own government is attacking free speech in the college campuses. And I'm sure a lot of you heard about the recent deportations of people that are speaking out in favor. They're calling them anti-Semitic or they're calling them pro-terrorists. In other words, if you support what the Palestinian cause, that means you're pro-terrorists. And so now they're going to try to deport you. So you can't have honest opinions anymore. According to them, the First Amendment doesn't apply if you're here in this country and you're not a U.S. citizen. According to them, according to lawyers, no, you do have the right to First Amendment. Depending on your status, if you're a green card holder, you have the right to a First Amendment. And others have certain rights as well. But they want to label it. They want to do it for a beating. You gotta get rid of anybody that says anything positive about Hamas or positive about Palestinians or anybody saying anything negative about Israel, they gotta go. So that's what Trump is doing it seems. He's doing everything he can and doing everything he can't as well. Again, he does what he wants and pays the consequences later if they come years down the road. He's doing it anyway. So this is not good. I'm not liking what I'm seeing in Israel so you gotta prepare because The price of gas goes to what it will. All of a sudden, our economy is going to go in the tank. And it's going to take years to get out of it. The only way you're going to take over Iran is boots on the ground. A couple hundred thousand troops, boots on the ground. Go in there. And I don't know how you're going to do that. You can do it from the Red Sea. You can do it from parachutes. How are you going to get all those troops in there and all the equipment in there? Not going to happen. It's going to be really difficult for tropicism, just like the Normandy invasion in France. It's not an easy operation. It's something that any government today would easily be able to see a buildup of arms and munitions and supplies and bombers and troops and tanks and so on. It would be very easy to see these days because every country has intelligence via satellite that they can look up and see this kind of movement. It's nothing you're going to be able to hide like you could back in the days of World War I and World War II. So, Andy, are you ready for a draft? Because if we try to invade Iran, It's going to take that. It's going to take a draft. Who are we to decide who can have nuclear weapons and who can't? Who made us gods? Now I wish nobody owned nuclear weapons, but they do and you're not going to get that genie back in the bottle. And Iran is probably going to get them someday. But who are we to say they can't have them? A lot of countries have them. I think nine countries now have them. We allowed Pakistan to get them and India to have them. North Korea, we allowed all those countries to get them. Why are we going to not allow Iran to get them? Who was the only one to use nuclear weapons actually against civilians? Guess what? We did. Twice. Yet we're the ones telling nobody else that they can have nuclear weapons or whoever we want can't have nuclear weapons. We let Israel have them. We helped Israel have them. Some say that's one of the reasons that Kennedy might have been killed because he was trying to stop that. Stop Israel from getting nuclear weapons and stop Israel from doing some of the things they were doing to our government. so that we wouldn't become the United States of Israel like we have now. So, not a good thing. Be prepared. Do what you can. If you're in a job that requires you to be traveling all the time, you're probably not going to be going to that job anymore. The price of gas is $10 a gallon or more. But you're very close. Are we still going to have a grid when this happens? Because we get in a tussle with Iran. All of a sudden now we have a problem with China and Russia because they aren't going to support them. In many ways. How many aircraft carriers do we have? I think we have about 11 of them. How many are going to be at the bottom of the Red Sea or the Indian Ocean? Probably quite a lot of them. They're going to be very vulnerable. How many of our air force, our air bases around the world in Qatar and United Arab Emirates and all these other countries where we have air bases right now, Saudi Arabia, they're going to be targets. Our troops are going to be invulnerable. We don't have the missile protection defenses that we have there. like we have on, say, on board ships. Our ships could easily be overwhelmed, really easily, with the amount of missiles that Iran could start firing at an aircraft carrier group. Very easily overwhelmed them. They have thousands of missiles against our hundreds. I mean, if you're in favor of war now, wait till an aircraft carrier is on the bottom of the ocean and see how much in favor you are because Iran actually sunk one of our aircraft carriers. And even if it wasn't Iran, maybe it bought it to somebody else, they blame on Iran. Sound familiar? We're not looking good here, folks. We're in a really bad situation. We aren't ready for this. Trump thinks he's a... Trump's acting as a bully all around the world now. Even to our friendly neighbors. To Europe. To Canada. To Greenland. To Panama. You name it. I remember the first week of Trump's presidency the first time. It was like he was making the enemies with Australia. What the hell was that? He started, he hung up, he got an argument hung up on the Prime Minister of Australia. I don't think he can properly have anything, but he's going to get us into everything. What it looks like, Paul. Time will tell. Okay, my time is up here, Paul. Hopefully I can keep getting on the air here because the weather was bad today I was able to do it. But if it was getting nicer and I gotta spend a lot of time working on my property, gotta listen about a dozen things here I wanna continue here in the next couple months and keep on doing all this stuff I have to do. So I thank you everybody for listening. Until next time, so long. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the length of the grave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you could always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this, the land is a free 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 spent your children must attend a school that doesn't educate and your Christian values can't be taught According to this you read about the current news and 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 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 sheep. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and simply farm. And keep our country, keep men of God in jail, harass your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit so their children can prove. 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 will fight to save? Or do you wish your children fear? most sons of the republic arise take a stand defend the constitution the supreme law of the land preserve our great republican each god given right and pray to god freedom burning bright as i awoke he vanished in the midst of once 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? both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, east, northwest, northeast, and north. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. LibertyTreeRadio.org. And we're on WBCQ, the planet, 6.160, regular shortwave. That's WBCQ, the planet, 6.160, regular shortwave. We're on from 8 to 9 PM, Monday through Friday, regular shortwave, 6.160. And we're on satellite. I want to say thank you to our rebroadcasters there that are picking us up. and sending our signal out in addition to all of the other methods that we use as a virtual cornucopia, east and west of the Mississippi in alternate forms. It is Wednesday. It's Weapons Wednesday. It is the 3rd of April, though I have two separate systems because of the power outages here, but it's rather bizarre. They actually are rolled back And the calendars did not move forward. I am rather fascinated by this. I have four different pieces of equipment looking at me here because of different electronics and I have three different dates. Isn't that fascinating? But it is the third of April. It is the 17th year of open obvious and in your face Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation. of America with a K. You got a correction there, it's the second not the third. Okay hold on. Wait a minute. You said the third, it's the second. Oh, you're right. Sorry about that. No, that's the, oh I have four different, oh this must, we must have gotten hit with a spike. We did because I know power went down twice. So yes, well my calendar is totally askew, the one that's sitting right here in front of me, but it also says it's the 29th of March. Which it is not the 29th of March. So yeah, everything I'm gonna have to reset this I don't want to do with this either Anyway, I'm sorry. It is the 2nd of April and I don't want to give that day away because it's been too stinking busy as it is I could not afford to lose a day right now. I really couldn't thank you Edward. It is the 2nd of April and I bet you we screwed up with the First and second or two automatically. I'm just going by what's on schedule and the rest of the clock that's right here and it's part of the main screen so yeah okay, slight me in the microphone, good. Anyway, 2nd of April, 17th year of open obvious and in your face, Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K20. 25, old earth calendar, on given roll she's got captain. 125 percent. Then with all of these systems bollocks up, I would say she can blow up at any minute. Bloody hell. Anyway, it is, of course, 2025, Battle for the Republic Book 2, the Winter War, and even though we have had it warm up in the bottom of the state, as Tom, up in the upper part of the lower peninsula, said they got plenty of snow up north. And if it weren't for maybe just a little temperature shift between the different layers here, as cold as that rain was today, it should have probably been lake effect snow. It probably was, to be quite honest. Coming from the north headed to the south, we've got a good, I won't say hot pocket, but it's warmer. And that rain was cold enough today that if you had not had any good protection, you were stuck traveling, you would be in trouble. You would have been in trouble during the day. Not with snow. It's a bitter cold and dense rain, a tremendous rain today. Great for the ponds though, the ducks are happy, everybody's looking good there. We are not complaining because it has been a classic Michigan spring so far and it looks like it's going to continue. Let's hope it does. So anyway, it is Weapons Wednesday. A couple things here again over at AIMSurplus.com. AIM AIMSurplus.com. Law enforcement trade-in ammo. Now, this stuff comes in bulk. I've not seen this in a long time, and it's the first time in this last couple years that I've seen any of this where it's actually posted as, like the police trade-in pistols. This is police trade-in bulk ammunition. It's over at AIMSurplus.com. Number one, Winchester 40 Smith & Wesson 180 grain FMJ ammo, 50 round box, $14.95. And this is in, I believe, the black and white Winchester Boxes factory bulk. The next is CCI Lawman, 45 ACP, for, forgive me, TMJ, 230 grain, 50 rounds per box, $19.95. And that is CCI Lawman. That's the blue box, white print, I believe. Again, that is brass case. Next is Federal Premium. 45 ACP, 155 grain frangible, again, RHT, and that's 50 rounds per box for $19.95. Somebody asked me, would you shoot somebody a frangible ball? Have you ever seen what happens when tissue gets hit with a frangible ball? It's like a mini grenade. A frangible ball, no matter what chip combination, what type of base material they use to create the fraturable training round. It's designed for range use mostly, but it's like the old 30 out of 6 frangible ball. It's only a frangible ball round, traveling at regular velocity, and when it hits, it literally shatters, slash, explodes. So, now 45ECP is not going as fast. But it's still, you don't want to get shot with anything. But you know what? I think the frangible ball is probably worse than getting hit with that standard ball round in general because if you've ever seen what the wound channel is like, it's literally like an explosion and it bursts and it chews by the nature of the material. Velocity does all the work. It's not the weight, it's velocity. So, again, all three of these are good choices, but there are others. I just listed those three because those are the ones everybody's been asking about. But a lot of people asking about 45 ACP. And a lot of people are picking up these police automatics that are, you know, coming out of service. And most of them are in 40 Smith and Wesson. So, there you go. And that's not a bad price for either one. $15 for the 40 Smith, especially Winchester ammo, that's a reasonable price. So, it's flinch, chest, or contract ammo, so it's in the white box with a black print. Other than that, next real quick here. And oh, forgive me. I got to do this too. And I didn't screw up completely. But very quickly before we go any farther here, I want to make sure that everybody did drop off what they were supposed to for the patches order. And nope, this is Dopsin's. OK, here's the thing. We have three units. On the list that are CMM there's about 40 some total have already finished their task. We've got three units. You need to contact Mrs. Dopsin immediately. We have three units that did not get their complete unit patch and tab patches orders in. The stitcher is already working on a big chunk of these. Remember these? We order these now. Just give me an idea how these work for us. We order in sheets and then we do the cutting back here in Michigan ourselves. So we've got a multiple number of orders. Please, if you have not gotten your orders in for patches, contact Mrs. Dobson immediately. Like tonight, we need to get this done and out of the way. There's too much other stuff. We're getting cluttered. We still have a high probability that bad guys are going to, again, the other foot's going to fall if it does. Patches aren't critical, but we've got other tasks to accomplish, and this is a silly little thing that only takes a few minutes to finish. So if you don't have everybody squared away, guesstimate, add what you think you're going to need, and get it into Mrs. Dobson. If you could tonight, that would be best. As many as what time? Electronics will take the message. You know how it works. You can use a spike over on the alternate side, which you should. And please get hold of her immediately. There are three units that did not complete the, you know, they got the four men, but they didn't get the rest of the numbers into her. Hey, Dad. So let's get that done. Go ahead, Edward. We got you. I know you said it's just a silly little thing, but it's not. This is part of the friendful identifiers. You need to get your stuff. You don't have it. Yep. And again, this is a simple task. This is not like, you know, again, we're not pressed yet. So let's get these things out of the way. The other thing that's being worked on by the girls here are the unit guide-ons and flags. That's complete. You guys did a great job. And in fact, I have two new Raider. unit flags that are being built, I had done, they are part of this group. They are in the new green format, so if you are going to see any of the new images from Camp Emmerc or Camp Emerson, when a unit is on station at any of our training sites, we have a series of PBC They are angled at about 70 degrees, but they are PVC catches and they are hooked up into a box frame so that the unit displays its unit guide on if it is on site. This is one of the ways to be able to read who it is that is directly available if you need to access them. And you can of course do a quick handshake with everybody, etc. So this is one of those many parts of the, you know, heraldry element that we're, you know, dotting all the I's, crossing all the T's. Also, yes, somebody is asking here, the name tapes, that was the part I think that they screwed up on. Somebody is asking, are we talking about the name tapes? Yes, part of this is the name tapes. These are non-reflective. These are infrared, you know, these are the infrared non-thermal, non-infrared, non-thermal, what is that, cotton carbon filament? They are the same ones that the better donor to destruction patches are made out of. And the unit tabs, unit patches, and yes, name capes were also issued with this batch. That is more specialized but there were a bunch of people that requested it. And in most cases you buy a flag of I think it is 50. For each name is what they do. It's cheaper. It really really is cheaper once I've got that sticker running guys and the way these industrial units work It doesn't take long at all. It's just getting the material you know the information in there and Having it in hand so again get hold of missus Dobson the rest will we know everything will work after that you've got to get to the back point She's the bbmfic and she will deal with the problem Okay, now next I'm looking while I'm talking here Oh yes, you know what, I was thinking about this and we actually got away from it, forgive me. Largest US civilian animal producer just sold all of their factories. And this is of course going to the Chex. Remember the Chex individual, apparently this thing got approved, I don't know why. Now I will say this, the Chex and the Slovaks are even better. are very, very much pro, you know, you need a gun. However, I think the Chex have more trouble than the Slowbox do. So if you haven't seen some of the excellent little write-ups and or interviews that were done with the Chex arms manufacturers, but more importantly the gun dealers, shop, you know, gun shop dealers and such. Remember the Slowbox are the ones whose Let's see, it wasn't president. Maybe it was president. Forgive me, it's either president or prime minister. I think it's president. Forgive me. Slap me the microphone for our Czech brothers there. I'm pretty sure I said president before. Was shot and survived, but he was shot by the Jewish mob and the EU globalists who were, of course, going against, he was going against in the process with regard to the folder all. and drivel that's taking place in Europe with the invasion and more. So again, I want to say thank you. First of all, I appreciate the heads up on this largest US civilian ammo producer just sold all of their factories. That means somebody from outside the country is controlling the majority of the in-house larger manufacturing. It's not all the manufacturing, by the way. We have a bunch of independent smaller producers and I guess what we're going to have to do is go through and We're going to have to really start promoting moving towards buying their product in general. This is something that should be done anyway, forgive me. But the reason is that little guys aren't little guys very long if they get the lion's share of the business. So we need to make that happen. Right now we are shopping around for brass, just virgin brass production of 7.62x39. That probably will go through very soon. I don't know what the quantity is going to be, but I will let you know because if somebody wants to jump on the bandwagon, this is going to be a major production run. And we're going to be hopefully tying up one of the better brass producers, well, a smaller one, but still, they're consistent. They've been around for a while. And we are going to crank out a large quantity of Boxer Prime Heat and Kneel Brass. in 7.62x39 and then the other goal is to go with the 5.45x39 simply because there are so much of it out there, so many rifles out there that are in our sphere that we picked up back when 7.62x39 was affordable, was reasonably priced, when the rifles were coming in for nothing, the kits were specifically. So, more on that as that develops, but that is a priority. Somebody else is dealing with it. But I know that right now we're looking for best price for and how much can we afford for the dollars that can be raised. So, as soon as we get the, in fact, once we get production going, I would say that they probably would still be able to add, because once you start cranking, it's going to take, you know, weeks or months to fill out whatever kind of order we're talking about, because it's going to be significant. Bullets are another issue for the 7.62x39 specifically because they are Russian spec. And that we may simply go volume for the moment, but we are looking for a jacket producer. We actually have one here in Michigan that could do the whole bullet. In fact, they had other problems. They had government contracts, and what we've seen in the past If you're dealing with a company that does government contracts, government will come in and tie up the factory by slushing more money at whoever and bumping your order out. It happened with batteries. We've talked about this for years. This has happened even with something as simple as batteries. when they realize, oh, those people are getting it. Gotta stop that. And so what they do is they'll tie it up with a government prioritized project for something they don't even need. And in most cases, literally, they chuck out the back door as quickly as they purchase. We've seen this before. So we've got to pay attention to do this right. I want to work with a company. I kept told them I'd rather work with companies that aren't getting the business. Maybe they're not the... top dog, but they are going to be our top dog if we do it right. So we'll see what we can do to accomplish the mission there. Anyway, let's see, next, very quickly, one more. Okay, I already got the checks covered. The checks are in the, yeah, the check, our ammunition is in the check back pocket now. I don't know if these are still available, but this is a hell of a price. Delta Team Tactical Pre-assembled Upper Davidson Defense Moon Stomper 16 inch AR-15 223 Wild Parkerized Rifle Upper Build Kit $109.99 I'll bet you that's $110. I'll throw the penny in. There we go. $110. However, that is an excellent price. It's a 16 inch upper. It's preassembled. It's all complete, put together. Now, Delphine Tactical does a lot of parts kits that are absolute base parts. In other words, you've got bags of parts. You figure it out. That's simple. You should be able to. You don't want to build a gun, you're going to build it from scratch. In this case, this is at DelpethineTactical.com. Look up preassembled upper Davidson defense Moon Stomper, they have different names for each of those uppers that they make in whatever combination guys. Moon Stomper 16 inch AR-15, 223 wild, Parkerized rifle upper build, $110, $109.99. With tax license and dealer preparation, it comes to $109.99. So, and that's one more time, Delta Team Tactical. Now, the tariff thing, yeah, somebody's asked about that a couple times, and why are you talking about it? Everybody else has. I think they beat the dick. How much can you talk about when it comes to a flat? You're looking at a flat tariff of 20%. Don't have a problem with that except what we need to do before we do this because this is something that nobody's talking about. Are the pigs going to turn around and file WTO charges against us like they have in the past? See, all these countries we're putting tariffs on are part of the World Trade Organization, right? And let me remind you all that under the WTO, if somebody that we're trading with feels that we're not being fair, They can go to the WTO and demand action against us. And you might recall when they first passed NAFTA and GATT, they did this extensively for about five years non-stop. Right up until just before 2000, from 1994 to the year 2000, we were taken into the World Trade Organization. Everybody that tried to stop once the trade tours The Republican trade tours, George Herbert Walker Bush and his gang of skanks, and the other traders, Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton and Al Gore, well, let's see, George Bush wrote it and Bill Clinton signed it. And Bill Clinton, of course, remember, ran a vote for Bill Clinton is a vote against NAFTA. Help Bill Clinton stop NAFTA and gap. And as soon as he got in, showing what kind of spit-swapping ring knock and bottom-feeding parasite he is, he signed it, NAFTA and GATT. And then, immediately, there was a toilet flush south into Mexico, and then from there across to China, of all components of our industry, step by step by step by step. Trump hasn't done away with his, have I missed something here? Did Trump go away with NAFTA and GATT? See, NAFTA and GATT is still a thorn in our arse. Just that simple and again when they choose to they can file in NAFTA and get against Donald Trump in the United States for quote-unquote unfair WTO trade practices now Why not so dump the WTO dump NAFTA and get? articulate it Speak it and make sure everybody knows it cancel the WTO treaty, cancel our signing of it, and cancel NAFTA and GET. You do that, I might believe you. And the key word there is still might. Then again, maybe not so much. Y'all get what I'm saying? I think you do. So anyway, that's one issue. The other one is where's Fincen? Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. They spy on every dollar that you move in the bank, how is it they couldn't figure out where all this social security fraud and other monetary exchanges on a massive level with obvious ties to organized crime and an organized crime activity? Which, by the way, is what FinCEN supposedly, yuck, yuck, yuck, supposedly was supposed to deal with. So that's enough on the fallacies of whatever supposed solutions for economics are going on. Again, we'll see what the WTO chooses to do, because they have the ability, and if these co-signators can go to the WTO, and demand that Trump stop the action that he's in right now. And you know what? They've done it before. Why wouldn't they be doing it now? Well, maybe this part of the big plan, we do understand that we're being screwed. So whatever the big plan is, otherwise the terrified idea, that's fine. It's good. Let's see if it proceeds. If it does, it's a miracle. If not, it's not a surprise. Remember like he said in Braveheart, then alive, that's fine. Good, just as good, works for me. And one way or another, as long as somebody's spittin' around us down range at the bad guys and creating lots of damage in whatever direction, I'm not botherin' as long as you aren't, but as long as you're not choppin' at me and our people and our allies, as in the American people. So, we're at the bottom of the hour, and because we're at the bottom of the hour, and it's Weapons Wednesday, That means one thing. We are back. I'll tell you what, for... our second bottom of the art or breaks. Go ahead, caller, we got you. There's a song out there, maybe you could play it before the evening's over. Look Out Mountain. It's about the American Civil War. Right, Brother Phelps. As a matter of fact, you know what, we can go that way. Brother Phelps, it's hard to find. This song actually was missing for a while, even though we played it on a regular basis in the morning. Brother Phelps, Look Out Mountain from the Brothers Phelps. And Ed, if you can track down a version of it, we actually found one by finding a piece that somebody did that was a traveling collage, but the song itself wasn't on YouTube. Here we go, Ed Fountains. We are back. Here's Phelps. Originally the band was Kentucky Headhunters, right? Think I got that right. Now that I think about it. And again, look out, Mountain Brothers Phelps. Kentucky Headhunters. I think I like Kentucky Headhunters. You know, just me. And for all of you out there, this is LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, LibertyTreeRadio.org. And of course, you are listening to us on WBCQ, the planet, 6.160, regular shortwave, WBCQ, the planet. And that's Monday through Friday, 8 to 9 PM Eastern Standard Time. Please take the time to break out your AM-FM shortwave receiver. If you don't have one, you need to buy one. And try the frequency out and tell us. Drop me an email at liberty at provide.net or send me a card. So we can put it up on our studio wall here. This particular station I have about 24. I have 24 cards here from you listeners. that have sent cards in letting us know how we sound from where you are. So we want to say thank you. We appreciate that. And it has been a very busy week and it's only Wednesday. We are still very much into the middle of the week here. Don't want to let the day go. Seriously, we have not had enough time to get everything done we'd like, but we get as much done as we can. Too many irons in the fire, but that's just the nature of the battle we're in now. Keep up the work and pitch in where you can with our friends that are in need and we will accomplish the goal We will complete the tasks Let's see next Tell you what we actually said we were gonna we were talking about doing this we played a guns and gadgets VSO gun channel Ed if you could VSO gun channel and the name of the video is DOJ keeps Biden, keeping Biden political prisoners. Again, that's the VSO Gun Channel and that's on YouTube. I'm pretty sure, kick me in the microphone if I am not, but if I'm wrong, but it's VSO Victory. Victor Sierra Oscar gun channel and that's DOJ keeps Biden political prisoners and if you could pull it up I do not see one that says keeps Biden's political prisoners the video is that up there is entitled why haven't they freed the ATF political prisoners that'll that's good let's do that one that's it I'm sure we were just in conversation so very good how long is that about nine minutes Yeah, nine minutes 15 seconds. Go ahead and throw that in there. We got enough time to segue that in. So everybody again that's via the administration's performance on the Second Amendment. I didn't expect to use it this many times and I clearly need to reformat it because I'm running out of space for bad stuff. Today is gonna be the last one that I can do before I have to reformat because We are out of space and we're using the last space today and guess what? Yep, it's another bad one. Yep Absolutely. So there's a lot of banter online right now about the inaction of the administration as it pertains to certain political prisoners that were taken during the Biden administration. And I'm here to highlight really two stories, three individuals, two stories, but I'm sure that there are countless others that are out there. And these are the ones that just happen to be the most popular right this second. But I'm sure that if you dig in and I'm sure that many of you know of some folks, go ahead and list their names down in the comments section down below and I'll. look into them and see what their stories are all about. But these are just coming straight from my brain. And since this administration seems incapable of doing their own homework, except for those folks that did some rioting a couple years ago, they were really zeroed in on those ones and got those folks out of jail right quick in a hurry. But when it comes to peaceable citizens that weren't doing anything illegal except in the government's view, exercising their Second Amendment right that is enshrined in the Constitution of the United States. Literally the second thing that they wrote. They did so in defiance of the decrees of the government and they are still rotting in jail. Since the administration can't figure that out, I'm going to make this... as simplistic as possible. I'm going to do this like I'm talking to a nine-year-old. The Irving Hoover case. Now, what these two individuals did that was not particularly intelligent but not illegal is they made a drawing of a thing, basically. And what they did with this drawing is they put it on a big piece of metal. And so what I have here is a piece of AR500. And Mr. Irving was selling these things as novelty items. His... friend and I suppose advertiser wasn't a guy by the name of Matthew Hoover and his channel's name was CRS firearms a channel that has since been taken over by his wife and The quality of the content on the channel was sus to begin with and hasn't gotten any better since she took it over But that's beside the point. I guess what I'm trying to say here is the dude made videos About and he's in prison for five years Mr. President, what the fuck? Now to flesh this out a little bit, they charged him with conspiracy to traffic machine guns, even though that thing is not a machine gun. It even says not a machine gun on the side of it. And when the government tempted to take this thing and cut it out and put it into a gun to supposedly convert it to a machine gun, It didn't work. It made the gun malfunction. But they convicted him anyway because juries are re- This is my favorite room of mouth. So when we were building our home, I knew that states were not going to be practical. You can't say that on YouTube. Mr. President, I feel like you have some experience with dumb people who sit on juries. I feel like I ought to destroy this prop really quick before the government shows up and kicks down my door and shoots my dog or something like that. Since... You might say, oh, Kurt, well, you're a licensed federal firearms manufacturer. You have the license and all the cool guys stamp and all that sort of stuff to Mr. Hoover. Some people might say, oh, well, you know, they're just really busy or they just need their solicitor general to get signs. You didn't need your solicitor general to pardon a whole bunch of people that rampage across the Capitol. Some political prisoners that were taken by Biden's ATF. How about we chop chop? I thought you said first day or first week. All of those Biden disasters get ripped up and torn out my first week but maybe my first day in office, okay? Maybe my first. It's quarter past freckle. This video was brought to you by medical gear outfitters. They are my go to stop for all things medical. It doesn't matter whether you need something that just holds a bunch of band-aids and maybe some aspirin or something like that or if you need an actual trauma kit. If you don't have a trauma kit in your house or in your vehicle then I highly suggest that you go check our people out at Mental Cool Gear Outfitters and they offer all of you a discount. You can find all that information over at the village page and all the relevant places and use that to great effect. And I can hear you typing now, Kurt you're being a real prick these days. Yep, yep, totally am. Absolutely, it's basically my MO because It ruins my day. Every single day that I get out of bed and this administration that I voted for is not keeping its promises. And this is just another instance of something that could have been resolved very easily, but they're dragging their feet on it because they got other stuff that they care about instead of the freedom of people who otherwise were doing nothing wrong. And you say, well, that's just it. They've been really busy and they haven't had time to get around to it yet. And to you, I say, okay, well, you know, there have been no updates to the Irving Hoover situation, right? And okay, I'll accept. They just haven't got around to that one yet. So let's shift now to the Patrick and my act situation. This one is the exact opposite. This one, the Department of Justice is currently trying to scuttle his appeal and has scuttle his appeal so that his only chance of getting out of prison before his 20 year prison sentence, mind you, he was a Navy sailor that just got selected to go to to NSW. Yep, that's flushed. He's been in jail for 30 months prison 30 months over what you say Supposedly machine guns did he have any machine guns? No, did he have any guns at all? No So what happened again? Let's describe this like we're talking to a nine-year-old because we have to go there This is a toy gun This happens to be a toy gun that launches paint bullets at other people. But just like Justin, or not Justin, Patrick's situation, the government found him in possession of a toy gun and said, that is a machine gun. Even though it was not a machine gun, they took part from a machine gun and put them into it. So they took the barrel. of a functional weapon and put it in it and they took the internals of a machine gun and put him in there even though it would not accept a magazine If you put a nail on the end of this bolt here and gas this gun up, a broken clock's right twice a day. I guarantee you'd probably get a regular round to go off in this thing. If you filled the hopper full of 9mm bullets or something like that, you'd probably eventually get one to go. They got it to fire one round, and even though it can't accept a magazine, that they classified as a machine gun. 30 months in jail. 20 years in prison, I understand that I'm being very simplistic right now, and I'm being an asshole. But quite frankly, the MO of, oh, my bad, let me go talk to one of my people over here and they'll tell me what my position ought to be, that ship has sailed. You don't need another 30, 60, or 90 days to decipher whether this is something that you should do something about or not. I have given you basically the cliff notes or spark notes. Donald Trump would definitely be the cliff notes. That's for sure, definitely the cliff notes. But what I'm saying is that he doesn't need to go get red flag Barbie to go write him up a brief. I've given it to him. He can handle it himself. Go. And in the meantime, minus one again and then I'm gonna have to reformat it because we're out of space. I think... Yeah, that was it, dad. That was the end of the video. Okay, very good. It's abrupt, but it gets to the point. Very good. And the can, Ed, give out the title for that particular video, please. One more time. The title was, why, the title was, why haven't they freed the ATS political prisoners? Very good. Why haven't they freed the ATS political prisoners? It's on the VSO Gun Channel on YouTube, the VSO Gun Channel on YouTube. V is in Victor, S is in Sam, O is Omega. Very good. Okay, and there, we got it reset, we said it waited in, yes, there were a few expletive deleted that weren't deleted and that just happens, so. Like I said, he's kind of pissed. Well, a lot of people are, understandably so. I can appreciate that. The big thing here again, as he pointed out, is again, Barbie, appropriate from Florida, kosher Jewish mafia in Florida. He already has done a couple of other scurrilous anti-gun things just in the last week. As we know, having been in charge of and proceeded all the way to the Supreme Court, couldn't stop the case. There would be no ruling against Article II of the Bill of Rights. But, then again, that's Ms. Bondi's all about. That's what she's done in the past. Backstabbing the American gun owner is the norm, not the exception for the Bimbet. It's going to get worse, not going to get better. I'm sure that just put me on the list anyway, but then again, am I not already probably on a dozen lists? Yeah, I would think so. So again, but then I'm sure that the kosher run, uh, blonde death is, uh, just keeping track of, you know, and taking off the agenda that's given to her by hyphen Tel Aviv and they're doing exactly what we expected. So, uh, pickle, smoke and mirrors. Now, let's see next, I'm trying to do three things at once, that's the problem. Multitasking on the air sometimes have to do this because there are some other stuff, items popping up. Yes, we know about the, that's what I just mentioned, sorry, for our friends, hold on here. And yes, Supreme Court case, it was, remember we had a attack on privately owned, privately manufactured, forgive me, manufactured arms. They didn't have to happen at all. Bondi's is the Attorney General. They could have pulled the case. It would have been dead, but instead they did exactly what was expected. They followed through on the anti-gun agenda, and it was in the Supreme Court and with an anti-gun ruling. Wow, what a surprise. Never would have expected. Yeah, we would. Exactly what we expected. We're almost to the top, and again, I will remind you, if you can, please take the time. and go over to Delta Team Tactical and take a look at their combos. I've had a lot of people asking about, you know, best place, like single place to go for AR parts. Right now, guys, you want to jump all over the place. The AR, Montana AR-15, Delta Team Tactical, CDNN Sports, even CenterFireSystems.com, which doesn't have as much AR-15 stuff as the more specific AR-15 sites. But if you cherry pick from all these to include picking up magazines, complete lower kits with 80% receiver component, complete uppers, there's a dozen different directions you can go there, I mean literally, and more. Bear Creek Arsenal is a quickie one-stop shop where you can pick up a 16-inch upper with a bolt carrier, with a charging handle. and for under $180. So in fact it depends. Sometimes there are a few or one special price 16 inch barrel upper with bulk carrier and charging handle for as little as $164, $165 right around there. And do I care what flavor of combo it is? No, no, if I were looking to build the cheapest AR-15 because I need more ARs for maybe three, four family members or I'm building reserve rifles or cash rifles for say a retreat or other locations I need a lot of and I need most of the leastest. That's what it comes down to. The least amount of money spent. If you cherry pick, there are onesies and twosies deals, not bundle deals that are actually better with some of the specials on AR-15 mags. There were a couple deals here. When you go through each site, look for their special promotionals. Sometimes it's limit one or three items and air 15 mags for about six, seven dollars a piece. Most are still at a higher price right now. But it's one of those window traps. They want you to look at that and go, oh, I like that. And then maybe you'll buy other stuff in the process. So they need that to catch your eye. Well, take advantage of each one of those. It's like the small parts inventory the same way. Now I mentioned the carbine and immediately I had a bunch of spikes and little emails about carbine parts. Everybody has some carbine parts right now. The problem is whether or not they're treating them as unobtainium metal products or as surplus parts. Apex Gun Parts has a really wide selection. One company that everybody seems to be forgetting, and I need to mention more often again, is Gunpartscorp.com, old numeric arms. Gunpartscorp, C-O-R-P, dot com. If you go over into their clearance section, there is a bunch of carbine, there are a bunch of carbine items that you might be seeing as useful. And yes, they do have a complete selection of carbine parts there too for the M1. The big thing here again is if you're looking for just field grade, let's say you have a plain field, you know a lot of people have plain field carbenes that have had stuff cannibalized off them. That's very common because as I told you during the tour of Block, a lot of those plain field carbenes were built, the receiver is built by plain field, but all the parts are US military parts. So people would pick off the best parts off of these playing fields, put the other part off the other rifle that they might have had that was a standard US military gun, but it had the wrong bolt or maybe a small part on it. Well, they'd trade it out or they'd just take it off the playing field and leave it off because they weren't prioritizing that rifle. Somebody else picked it up, didn't bother to put the parts back on and you're looking for them. So GunPartsCorp.com is a good choice. Sarcoinc.com, Sarco, S-A-R-C-O, been around forever. They have a ton of carbine parts. ApexGunParts.com and Apex has a bunch of 20% off clearance deals. Not just for carbine parts, you need to go over and check that out. There's a bunch of parts in there. If you've got any of the number four mark one end fields or if you have the number one mark threes, guess what? There are a whole bunch of British Lee Enfield parts laying there. And the prices are quite reasonable. Now, heads up, it doesn't make any difference if you're looking to build a shooter. Most of those parts are fully interchangeable. It's just some are gonna be Indians, some are going to be Canadians, some are gonna be English. Might even be some Pakistani in there somewhere, you never know. But as it is, take the time, check out to see what they have. But if you're looking for carbine, that is another location, apexgunparts.com. Now for the 15 round mags, the new mags are typically from Korea. They've been doing them forever. They had a large inventory of carbines. I don't know what Korea has left, but they've pretty well, I think, modernized. But no country is a second or third party. has ever got rid of everything in a particular weapon system, even to this day. Okay, so it's the year 2025, but they build carbine and support carbines that they've sold to other parties in the Pacific Rim for a very long time, and they probably still have carbines in reserve. I haven't looked at Janes because usually they have a pretty good evaluation of what small arms, you know, infantry weapons are in each country. The carbine is a good choice. Don't think about throwing your weight. Yes, buy more AR-15s, but if you've got carbine rifles, you know, carbines are not rifles, they're carbines. The M1 carbine, build it up, add more mags, and buy all the ammo you can afford. It's a good rifle. It's a comfortable rifle to shoot, and we'll put people down just as well as it did for the last 75-plus years. Back 80-plus years. Anyway, we're at the top. God bless the Republic.
