Summary
This episode of the Militia Town Hall Meeting focused primarily on a property rights dispute in upstate New York involving beaver dam removal. Dave, a caller from the region, reported that state officials and deputies broke down his gate and removed two beaver dams despite the sheriff's assurance they would only remove one, causing significant water flow increases and threatening a youth camp on the property. The hosts provided detailed contact information for the New York Department of Environmental Conservation and discussed strategies for filing complaints across multiple agencies. The show also covered fundraising efforts for Liberty Tree Radio's yearly operating costs, product reviews of LED flashlights, and brief discussions of preparedness equipment and upcoming events like the Knob Creek machine gun shoot.

Dear gracious heavenly Father, we thank you Lord for letting us be here another Friday to open the airwaves up to our listeners. We ask Lord that you watch over our friends and family members who cannot be here who are traveling on the road this evening. or off camping for the weekend. We ask that you watch over them, guide them, and keep them safe. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen. Okay, well, there we go Spike. I'm going to give out the column number here real quick. The number is 12188448060. Room number 4379296 and the pound sign, again that's 12188448060. Room number 4379296 and the pound sign, again that's 12188448060. Room number 437, 9296 and the pound sign. I've got an announcement here for the guys with the Legion of the Red Hand. There is a party tonight at 845 at GGP. Again, there's a party tonight at 845 at GGP. And... Let's see, I think that's all I've got right now other than for anybody playing World of Warcraft. This is kind of a ball announcement. If you haven't logged in this week, Brewfest has already started. I know we've got some World of Warcraft players who are listening, so there you go guys. If you can, get in there and say hi to everybody that's online. Sweet. Anyway. What do you up to, Spike? Oh, still figuring out Windows 7 and playing with the sound and getting stuff installed that I hadn't installed before and getting everything back up and running. I was half expecting Sir David Andrew to be up here tonight. You talked to him last before me. What update did he give you? He said that he hadn't seen anybody around since everybody left and he didn't want to go out. Didn't feel safe going out there, but there were people going to be showing up. around 5 o'clock that we're going to be there over the weekend so he wouldn't be by himself. For now, nothing really to update other than they broke down this gate and went in with quite a few vehicles it sounded like on the message that he left me on the phone. They obviously tore out the Beaver Damns that we're always talking about again. I talked to him a bit when he called me. He called the Sheriff's Department and reported a criminal trespass. It took a little longer there than he should have. he did get that done uh... something that he needs to look into and i know they're saying they got a permit but the permit that they have as far as you know what they're doing pulling out the beaver dam in the wetlands um... new york state has their own version of are uh... like michigan's dnr except yet more broad it covers uh... habitats and whatnot for wildlife uh... and of course you got the EPA. If he really wants to get in on, get them to stop doing this, he should probably look at some of those organizations and letting them know what they are doing. The one is the, what is it? I had the website up earlier today, let me see if I can pull it up. I think it's New York Conservation, something or other. Should be in my history still. Oh Well, I do that you want to give everybody a quick heads up because you did talk to him last just do a run-through about what he told you Basically said they that they had came in broke down his gate and tore that down Went in with a bunch of people said they were you know Looking for him, but like you had said that he is he was gone He wasn't there while they were looking for him. He was I think he was off somewhere watching them and He came back after they left and said they hadn't seen anybody around But there were supposed to be some folks showing up there to be there for a while at around 5 o'clock p.m. So he's probably Entertaining their company at this time so We'll see what happens. Maybe he'll call in at the bottom of the hour. Sheriff is saying that you know he's just trying to follow the color of law. I listened to the yeah, yeah, I listened to the Dave calling in the criminal trespass They put me on hold and let me you know there it was going on between them Let's see Well the group they really needs to get a hold of and see if they can do anything about this is the Department of Environmental Conservation in New York their website is www.dec.ny.gov He's in region 6 of on their little battle board basically for the state and There you go to their site click on contacts. There's a whole list of contact numbers that Dave needs to get a hold of Particularly the wildlife habitat manager law enforcement for the for this group, you know because they're messing with the wetlands are messing with a Indigenous critter that you know set up its home. I mean you can he can attack them on this route and he needs to get a hold of this organization on the different levels and see if they can help him with this. Seriously. There's also numbers for forest rangers. They got a habitat manager, the director for his area. Yeah, so if you get a hold of Dave before I do, you need to send him to their website. It's www.dott. DEC.NY.GOV dot gov Okay, you know New York government. It's a government website. I just wanted to make sure it's a dot gov, but the DEC is the Subdomain because it's their department. I guess their website on the server Department of Environmental Conservation That's a group he needs to get a hold of there locally. I'll make sure I pass that along to him the other group even though I know he wouldn't like dealing with them is the EPA he just came online and Skype oh there we go I'll see if I can grab him then Skype there it is and that context although I think I already added him to the conversation he just has to find the right window and hit join I'll just whoops wait a second okay show all there we go no he's not in the list I thought I clicked him. I will click him again. Where is he? There he is. There we go. Fun fun. Yeah, it's calling him. Hopefully his computers aren't going to give him that much of a problem. There he is. Hey Dave, we got you. Good evening gentlemen. Might want to back off your mic just a little bit Dave. Okay. Is that better? Yep, that's much better. Oh, what a vengeful day. Have you heard what we were talking about so far, Dave? I last probably five minutes while I was trying to get this thing to log on to Skype. It's so stupid. Slow, it's not funny. It doesn't log on easily. Okay. Oh, I see we got a new, new gentleman in here tonight. Oh, Rattlesnake. Rattlesnake. He's got a new picture up. He's been here before. Yeah, he's got a new picture. He's online. I grabbed him tonight while he was there. Let's see, Dave, if you get the time, you should go to that website if you heard me give it out before. I've already been to that website. I've talked to the assistant director last year of DEA when they were doing it. I could not get to the director. There's a lady that is actually the director. The assistant director is a total jerk. They have different directors for your region. The one in this region is on the take. In fact, that was the issue that you and I were discussing earlier with the sheriff today. I asked him, I said, do they have a permit? He said, well, the lieutenant has assured me that they have a permit. Well, we know two months ago they didn't have a permit. What they're having is a letter written by a former code enforcement officer. He hasn't been code enforcement officer for almost two years, but yet he still issued bogus beaver permits without any lawful authority to do so. Yeah, this isn't a code enforcement officer Okay, right and when you go to this site you want to click on contact information you are in region six click on region six that region six and you will get a list of People that you can call park rangers and whatnot the habitat the person who manages the habitat. I will call both of them up. There's two of them in your region and I would make a complaint. Hey, did you know they're doing this to the Beaver Damns here? I have not called the habitat division. In fact, I would get as many people as you can in your area that are friendly to you and call. I had two different people last year at DEC Region 6 that were investigating what was going on here and the investigation lasted about two days and they were ordered by the their supervisor to drop the investigation. Okay, well again keep the pressure on them and go at them from different angles Dave. There's a whole list of numbers here that you could be calling to create a headache for them. Basically, what we have, I'll give you the, I don't know, my thing's cutting in on them. Are you hearing me? We're hearing you just fine, Dave. We are hearing you loud and clear, Dave. I'm guessing Dave isn't hearing us loud and clear. Wonderful Skype. Well, especially since Microsoft took it over, Microsoft does everything right. I'm back. I totally lost everything and now it's much louder than it was before. Hopefully it's not booming you. We were hearing you loud and clear Dave. I couldn't hear a thing. Totally went dead. Now it's real loud that I hear you. In any case, about 8 or 10 guys showed up down here at the gate around 1.30. And I figured out now what they were trying to do. They were trying to suck me in to come down to see what they were doing. Because after being there a half hour, all of a sudden two deputy sheriffs show up. And they go in and they break the gate. But all I saw was the two deputies. But one of our local boys all heard the commotion and come investigate. There wasn't just two deputy sheriffs that were here. There was two state police and a DEC. Plus these other ten guys that went in and they tore out both beaver dams after the sheriff assured me on the phone that they wouldn't take out the second dam. They took it out. They took everything. Well then you called the sheriff back and said, hey, they pulled both dams. No, you were right, Ed. You need to call him back and report it. When you told me to get out, you were right. Within ten minutes, two deputy sheriffs and state police were right here at my door and they surrounded the house. He told you he had to call them on another line, which is BS. He was talking to them on the radio. He had somebody on the radio as soon as I knew where you were they were sending people over to you. Yeah, and there was three of them that showed up here and They were trying to get me to come out of the house, but gee I'd already left poor fellas It's a cruel world. And it's Friday folks. They do all their dirty work between 2 o'clock and 5 o'clock on Friday so they arrest you and throw you in the county jail for the weekend and nobody knows where you're at. I still would call up and complain. Hey, you said they were only supposed to take out the one they took out both. What else do you think I found? You ain't gonna believe this one? Go ahead. and especially being she won't be back to October 3rd so the real quick days before I can get her to even do anything real quick Dave the other group that I will be calling here off of this website and lodging a complaint with is the wildlife division about the treatment of the beavers there's a whole list of numbers here with this organization you don't have to you can go to the top to the director and logic complaint but you're saying that Judy I haven't been able to talk to her. It's the assistant I've got to talk to and he's a total yes man. Well there's a phone number here directly. They've got a phone and a fax number for Judy on their website for your region. Maybe if a lot of people called her and said what are you guys doing about protecting Beaver? That might be a good thing. Why don't you give her a number out Ed. Well, Dave, that's what I'm telling you. The number is 315-785-2239. Again, that's a regional director for your area of the Department of Environmental Conservation. Correct. And you're in Region 6. Her number is 315-785-2239. Judy Darbricki, D-R-A-B-I-C-K-I beaver dam, one of which was about two feet high, the other one probably is about 18 inches. They tore them completely out. That will dump about a million gallons of water in a day. And that's your regional director. The main director's line is 315-785-2239. Of course that's her number again. So they listed it twice. That's interesting. Let's see again the other group that the other section of this organization Dave that you're gonna want to call you need to go through and see Which ones would be the most the best group to call to to get a response from? Fitch I don't think fish fish have injuries and lab would be it unless there's a fish Fish hatchery somewhere along the river there Habitat is definitely one of the areas that you'd want to call and get a hold of the people there. There are two numbers that you can call. I'm not sure which area is closer to you. Water, town, or Utica. If you ever want it closer, it would probably be the one you want to call. The sad thing is, Ed, we got a camp meeting tonight and there's about 15 children up there right now. I'm sure glad these guys were the heck out of here before the kids end up showing up. That would have been absolutely horrible to have small children with the guys in here with guns and threatening people. There is also a number for law enforcement, legal affairs, operations. Water quality and wildlife wildlife it would be the other big one I would call wild wildlife and habitat You want to get a hold of the people with wildlife and habitat in your area, and they are two separate divisions I will I will check on that because I need you to hear which numbers here are for your area So that's something you're gonna have to do Dave because I don't know your area and you're gonna have to call them and find out which one of these which offices for your area and then come up and put their numbers out on the air and have people give them grief about this. Yeah, let me see if I can bring this up. And it was DEC.NewYork.gov. Yep. Yeah, I've been there before. Any case, what else is cooking around the country besides all my problems? I'm not really up to speed on that. I've been having computer problems since we had the power outage on Wednesday. Yeah, I noticed it was rerun. We still don't know... Wait, we're on a rerun? No, you were on rerun on Wednesday. Oh yeah, yeah. We lost power. We had companies show up. We were about halfway through the second hour and we lost everything as far as power goes. We had enough power to bring the computers back up and online, but our internet service provider didn't have power to run their equipment in the area, so we had power. We were kind of up, but we weren't up enough to run the station live. So we were dealing with that mess on Wednesday across we did get a hold of the guys on the conference line let them know what was going on I tried to get to the library but the library was without power too so I couldn't get into the chatroom to let people know I hope when they're born and the guys on the conference line were able to get a hold of people in the chatroom and let them know what was going on Where is this thing on Habitat on the page? What you want to do Dave is you want to click on contact us at the bottom Then when you click on contact us, the DEC regional office directory will come up. On the right hand side of the screen you'll see regions listed. I believe you're in region 6. You want to click on region 6 and it will take you down to a list of phone numbers for their agency. And when you go through that list you'll see there's a whole spool of numbers there that you can call. I think habitat and wildlife will probably be a good base to bring them in on, bring their attention to it just because the director or whoever is corrupt. You start bringing in other people who are lower down on the food chain and they start nipping and bugging, hey, what are we doing about this? You know, of course we can bug the director directly too and the assistant director and whoever, but give them a broad stroke. Hit them at all points as fast as you can, Dave. Yeah, and it's the weekend. Nobody's in, so it's Monday before we do anything. Well, we got a fax number. The habitat number is 315-785-2263. That's the one for your area? Yep. Okay, because there are a couple of numbers there. You should call and make sure that you're covered by the one that's there, unless the other one's too far away. Oh, the other one's a long ways away. Because you never know, they do goofy things the way they splice up there. Because you got the region spliced up. and then you've got your area which could be spliced up slightly different and you might be on the edge or far away from the one I don't know. Yeah and again the number is 785-2263. It also has a fax number. Maybe you ought to burn their fax machine up. 75-2242. 315-785-2242. 315-785-2242 is their fax line. for Habitat in Watertown, New York. And the other one is almost, I think it's the very last on the list, which is wildlife, Dave. Again, Watertown number there, it's the same number. Okay, just give it up. Same facts and the same call line. 315-785-2263. 785-2263 and the facts are 785-2242. Yeah, there you go. It's just a small office. I'm sure it is but I wanted to make sure that we got the right one Dave. Yeah, people probably don't understand what is happening here. I think I heard you say something about the setting up of the sovereign nations and the communities. That's what we have done here. They're refusing to recognize it. They've levied taxes arbitrarily against this property of $1,700 right now in school taxes. The tax assessor has passed the buck and says, no, it's not his liability. It's a tax assessor in another town. And I went to see, made appointment on Wednesday to see the tax assessor on the other town. And I get there and he had gone for the day. I had to go home early and he won't be back for two weeks. Isn't that convenient? Anybody think of a red canary here? The DA won't be back for two weeks and the tax assessor won't be back for two weeks. Something's fishy here. Politicians in high places going out of town. They could be on a date, Dave. They're both guys, right? We know how they are. No, the DA is a real good looking woman and she's married. Well, they're both taking off at the exact same time. That's what makes me say that, you know. Canary Watch, both of them being out of town and what would the tax assessor of a town have any relationship to going out of town on business that the DA would be going out of town on business for? That's why I was suggesting an affair. Of course, it was two guys. It was like, oh, they're going to Bernie Frank's. But, since it's not... The DA we have in St. Lawrence County is a pretty decent lady. And she is trying real hard to do what's right. But when you get a lot of pressure on you, it makes it really difficult to do your job. Don't go to Barney's office, that's bad news man. The sheriff is up for reelection so I think what we're going to have to do now is do a massive campaign for his opponent. We did that for the DA and got her elected back in 2006. What killed these guys is because we got her elected. Well that's good. Yeah, the the sheriff didn't sound like he was gonna be too cooperative and he was You needed to make your complaint and get off the line Dave You know better than that trying to talk him into convincing him. No you did you followed your legal obligation? You informed him of the criminal trespass He told you they were only gonna pull out one of the Beaver dams They pulled out both you need to make call him back and say hey you said they were only gonna pull out one They pulled out both What are you doing about it? They had a permit to pull out one and they pulled them both out. What legal action are you going to be arresting them for destroying the other Beaver Dam? That would be the question I'd ask him. The normal flow of water here is 6,000 gallons a minute. What they have just done is increase the water flow to over 30,000 gallons a minute flowing. You figure out what that's going to do. You've got a wall of water right now that's 23 inches deep. Dave, the local politicians, they don't make a whole lot of sense. It's like here in Dexter, they pull out the Mill Creek Dam. Right I had this plan for this little pier for the Mill Creek which of course now you don't have a Mill Creek as I pulled out the dam So they moved down the creek and they put this massive concrete pier on a creek Almost spans the entire length of the creek on an angle On this little on this little itty-bitty Creek that's called a weir Call the weird what what's yeah, what's the purpose of them putting a we're in in a creek like that for what are they and it's all concrete? It's massive What are they trying to accomplish? Spending taxpayers money I guarantee you somebody's brother got the contract to do the work Usually a weir is designed to retain or slow water down and to cause a build up behind the weir. I might have misspoken. It's not really a pier, it's more like a dock. It's got struts. The water flows underneath it. That makes no sense. Yeah, it makes no sense. That's what I'm saying. And they put it on an angle. It's almost like a bridge because it almost goes out and across, all the way across the creek. but it stopped short by like about four or five feet and... Well they got in order for a certain distance of dock and if they put it straight way across it would have become a bridge. So since it was a dock that was ordered they had to angle it in order to keep it in the water. Oh but it gets better. It goes under the train bridge. Well so... Maybe they put it in so somebody could easily get to the train trestle to plant bombs on the trestle. No, you wanted to do that, you could just walk up there Dave. But you know, it's ridiculous, you look at the way they've done this thing, I'm going to have to take pictures of it because it looks like okay they were building a road that went off through the park and it looked like they were going to go under the train bridge with another bridge. It's oversized, it looks ridiculous where it is, and yeah, it would have been great in the Mill Pond, but you don't get a Mill Pond! They're trying to build up this park the way they, quote-unquote, supposedly planned it. I think they've had to make modifications because I think they thought they were going to retain all that water when they released the dam. It was just going to stay in place. Over the river and through the woods. The water only has a permit to be in one particular place, so it can't move. I wonder what these pigs would have done if all those children were there when they came. I really wonder what they would have done. They could accuse you of endangering the children. They probably would have freaked out. Oh my God, kids! Yeah, but they pulled out the Beaver they pulled out both Beaver dams I was on the phone listening with you when the sheriff said no, they're only pulling out the one Yep, so I would lodge a complaint. I would file a complaint with his office I'm gonna file with the DA probably I'll with the DA file with him and file with the I'd file with the state with the DEC Yeah, yeah and Donnie and I talked tonight and we're probably going to end up filing with the United Nations. I don't want to do that. You don't need to legitimize them. Well, the whole idea is it causes them havoc. You turn one monster against the other. Yeah, it's good to do that, but I'd rather stick with the local monsters and drag an international monster in on US soil. Or acting with Sesame Soil. You don't need them there either. Correct, I understand that, but that's the whole issue. This is a sovereign nation and these guys criminally trust-packed did an act of war armed aggression with paramilitary troops on a sovereign nation soil. Yeah, but is there a profit to be made in interdacting that action? I mean, you know. Yeah, the profit is that we cost them $280 million a year by not allowing them to build a casino here. And they still got some kind of crazy idea that they're still going to build that casino here. And where these beaver dams at, where they were going to take and subdivide that section of land into 20 building lots, and the county judge and the Supreme Court judge and the former DA were all promised building lots on this waterfront property. There's about two miles of waterfront. They don't want to see a youth camp here, which is what our goals and our objectives were doing. was a camp for kids to come and learn about wildlife. Oh, and hey Dave, there is an email for your regional directory. It would be region6 at gw.dec.state.ny.us. A lot of dots in that email address. Try that again. It would be region6 gw.dec.state.ny.us. And that's supposed to be a mailing address? That's their email address. That's the email address for the region. It was region 6 at. Yeah, region 6 at. In fact, any, according to this, I thought it stood for Goofy Wanker. We had a president named that, right? Game in wildlife Game in wildlife. Yeah, there you go. That's boring. I thought it was GW himself Hey, is Spike on? Yeah, Spike's here someplace. Oh Yeah, also too I want to announce again the NORAD is meeting next Monday or next Tuesday in Denver at Denver Airport Need to keep an eye on what these clowns are about to do and even Bill Gates is going to be there and I and I and and Boffet and Several the other these rich tycoons are going to be there in there I guess going to decide whether they're going to cook our goose or whether their goose gets cooked Bill Gates the man who publicly openly supports Vaccines due to their population control aspect That's what this whole meeting is about, population control. Well, he's the guy that wants to do the mosquito vaccines. So you don't escape. They'll get you, you know, if you stray outside. You called the day? Yeah, the future of this country lies in the balance, but whatever they do next week. Well, the future of the country lies in the balance every day. Well, it's going to be real bad if they make a bad decision next week. They always make bad decisions, Dave. We were talking about Bill Gates, creator of Microsoft. Come on. We were just talking about Skype. Hey, hey, Spikey. Bill Gates may not be with us next Friday if he makes a bad decision. C-F-B-K. You have email and the email consists of four emails actually. Each of them has a download link. They will assemble into one large file which is the version 3.0 spreadsheet. Cool. The spreadsheet is 97 K bytes and the help file is 150 megs. It may strain your allocations a bit. Oh no, not at all. Before we go much farther guys We are down to one week to raise the funds for the yearly bill So I'm gonna be pushing it hard through LPR I'm trying to raise funds, plus I've got to get back with our other gentleman who just got out of broadcast school. I know he wants to start his program on the first, if possible, of October. I've been swamped with other things, stuff going wrong, breaking, so I have not been able to get back with you. I will be calling you tomorrow during the day, hopefully through Skype or through the contact number in your email if you're listening. So be expecting that. I'll probably be calling around noon or whenever I get up because I'm going to be up late tonight working on PCs. Fun fun. Yep. So guys, you want to get over to Liberty Tree Radio, help us raise funds for the yearly bill. You can see how much we got left. We're almost at 50% of the total. I've got to get a hold of the person who wants to sponsor still and Get that taken care of also we've got knob Creek coming up next month the knob Creek machine gun shoot is coming up We've kind of like I said, we've been distracted so we haven't talked about it much I know went over dad's head on weapons Wednesday as part of the reason I've been playing all the Stephen Lee songs on the radio station and subtle hint to dad but it keeps going over his head you know because Steve Lee was at the machine gun shoot last time that they were down there I'm not sure if he's gonna be there for the October shoot probably not because he's from Australia but you never know he could show up I've got the chip in up on live stream so if you're watching over at live stream dot com forward slash HTNW you can see the Liberty Tree radio page there and the chip in is up there. We'll get like Ed said we're about almost a week one week from today and Then that chippens gonna be closed down and I got to transfer the money over to the other account We'll be hitting that hard next week Yes $1,000 the race right? Yeah, but a little over a thousand dollars left to raise We do have a I don't know, we might be running into a problem with PayPal at the start of next year. They're asking for a tax identification number. The PayPal is in mom's name. I can send you paperwork. Well, you're right. You've got a problem. The PayPal is in mom's name. Again, there is a limit on donations about the reason why There's a limit on donations, which is why the Ron Paul group had a problem and of course they've been attacking PayPal constantly trying to Come up with some way because people use it as a way to raise funds for you know all other parties and we're coming up on the elections again So of course they want to attack this before They're trying to get this thing in before 2012 so that way they can attack people collecting funds for their candidates Guarantee it that's what this pushes for they wanted him before the election That's something to keep an eye on too guys. We are we've got about 10 minutes guys I got to step away for a bit, so I'm gonna let you guys take over Well, you know it as far as the organization here We file a W8 and once you file the W8 there is they can't even Mandate you to file anything else beyond that no filing no no tax numbers. No nothing required once you do a W8 But most people don't qualify for a W8. Go ahead Spike. I was just going to say while you were talking there if you're watching over at live stream.com forward slash h t n w h t n w o if I could spit that out. I have this nifty little thing that goes with Firefox and it puts up all your your all the one all the web pages that you want on this little rotating thing that's three-dimensional and You can scroll through them and see each page and I just clicked on Center fire systems mark was talking about that earlier, and I must say that Sega does look pretty nice But I'd rather I'd man well, I wonder why they put a 16 inch barrel on that yet 762 by 39 16 inch chrome barrel Wouldn't you rather have a long barrel in there? Well, everybody wants a short barrel. Now you can hardly buy an AR-15 barrel unless you argue with them to get one in longer than 16, special order. That's the next one down. There's the Sega IZ110223 long barrel, 20 inch chrome barrel. Well, consider the initial reason why the Soviets decided that a modest barrel, AK, was cost-effective. It was cheaper. It's just a little bit cheaper to make a shorter barrel. They figured it didn't matter to them, you know, for their uses. They're not producing millions of marksmen. They simply decided a cost-effectiveness basis that a shorter barrel was expedient for their main line use, you know, troops. and the same sort of economic supplies, it's cheaper to make a shorter barrel than a longer barrel. Yep, let's check over it. Take a look at mainmilitary.com and I've been looking for some of these field jackets and those look pretty nice for $14.99. Not sure what kind of camo that is though, but I'd like to have like an extra large to go over all my stuff in the wintertime. That would be cool. the They are independent units right now without a command Without a person in a command position as it is. They've just basically stepped back to their fire team and division commanders They haven't had an election for a new command position. In fact, they typically didn't do that. It was a He covered this when he was on the air how they went about picking their commander in the past and there hasn't been anybody's to step up to that position as of late we suggested an election you know get the people together and Pick one of their own to lead the thing Of course we haven't heard anything more on that. Hopefully we'll hear back from them in the future soon But that's Arizona. I'm Michigan spikes in Indiana. So, you know, that's their back door. They got to deal with it Yeah, but the thing is it's really better where it's at I would think right now because it makes it a whole lot more difficult to infiltrate Before we go I want to get in a product review here. I talked about this a little bit last week I picked up a flashlight which I've been using on and off. It's a Stanley tripod flashlight, brightness, 20 looms of light. It runs off an energy efficient LED. The cute thing is when I got this thing, I... Put in batteries that dad has kept on the shelf and if you know dad he saves everything these batteries have been in His battery shelf for almost 12 years almost dead as a doorknob It can work this flashlight can run off of nine or three double-a batteries I put nine of the dead dead dead batteries in this thing and It's been working like Almost as bright as a spotlight since I put the date put put the batteries in. I've been running off of these same 9 batteries for almost a month now and they've been in the shelf for years already spent and I'm still getting power out of them with this flashlight. I am very impressed with it. Again it runs off double A's, it's a tripod flashlight. You can put 9 batteries in it. It takes three in each leg you can run it off of three double-a batteries fully charged Or you can put batteries in the other legs to get the light to go brighter When I put the first three in I didn't get a response put the next three in it came up dim and when I put the last three in The thing brightened right up, so it will run off of pretty much dead batteries That's a fun thing it takes them all and combines their power basically running them in parallel in the series and then paralleling the series of three to power the flashlight. And that light's readily available? I'm not sure. I got mine at Ace Hardware. It was on closeout. I got it for $5. They typically run more than that. I don't know if you can get these from Ace Hardware anymore, but you can do a search online. It's a Stanley tripod flashlight with energy efficient LED bulb. I have another light that I saw this week. I had a class earlier in the week and one of my students came prepared. He brought us pack-in-all. A lot of these guys show up and they don't even come in with anything. And he says he now carries a day pack with him all the time. He had a new flashlight. I've never seen one like this. And I went and looked it up. Streamlight has two different styles of light. Each of them have four different models in the style and they're called side winders. Winder by Streamlight. Have you seen any of those? I cannot say I have. Well, they got in each of the two different series of lights, they have what's called in the one, have a model in each of them that has a white a red, a green, and an infrared light. These are LED with high lumen intensity light beams. They go in a shirt pocket. Gee, I wonder what I could do with an infrared light hanging in a tree, pointing in a direction. Well, goes good with night vision. I yeah, it makes for good flooding of the battlefield cause confusion Well guys Dave. I'm sorry. We are right up at the top of the hour dad just sat down in the booth say hi to everybody dad dad Say hello to everybody. Thank you my god Hey, and we're back. I just did many buckets of wild grapes, the likes of which I've never seen in my life. I have never seen them grow like this. Big as the end of my pinky. Ooh and tasty. In fact, the problem is eat some, put some in the bucket. Eat some, put some in the bucket. Eat more, put them in the bucket. And you can do that and you still got enough for gallons of jelly. Oh, I got two buckets, five gallon buckets inside. We just did a whole bunch of, Nancy just did a whole bunch of wild grape jelly here just today. So, oh my goodness. Plus the crab apples are next. Alright, that's all the time that we have for the militia town hall meeting. We will be back next Friday from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Coming up next is the Intelligence Report with Mark and Butterknife. Uh, say goodnight everybody! Night off! We all need to- I'm static there.
