What the Minneapolis ICE Shooting Means for Minnesota—and America
The conversation kicks off with a laugh about outro music and YouTube’s strange “two-hour freedom,” then moves fast into the practical: what a PDW actually is, why 300 Blackout reshaped the space, and when a backpack carbine beats a pistol. We compare calibers for real off-body carry, walk through folding carbines and 5.7 trade-offs, and get honest about suppressors—signature reduction matters, hearing-safe on 5.56 doesn’t.
From there we pull the lens back on a contentious Minnesota shooting and read the statute everyone keeps ignoring. When a driver accelerates toward an officer, the law treats the vehicle as a deadly weapon and allows action before impact. That clarity demolishes the viral “shoot the tires” advice—cars can still roll on rims, low pressure can boost traction on ice, and stray rounds create bigger problems. We tie that into urban risk: protest groups rigging mobile firing positions, curtains to catch brass and hide flash, and the quiet arms race in tactics and training most people never see. The gun world’s cycles come into focus too: CQB’s moment fading while precision returns, with 3-18x and 5-35x optics riding on 6.5 Creedmoor and 6 ARC, and new suppressor tech changing heat management and barrel life.
Then we flip the globe—literally. The Arctic isn’t a blank; it’s the highway between Kola-based bombers and subs and the Western Atlantic. The GIUK gap, undersea cables, and detection nets lead to one conclusion: Greenland sits on the route everything crosses. Whether it’s buy, ally, or a protectorate-style arrangement, the case is strategic, not symbolic. We even pull Aquinas into the modern fray: in true necessity, material goods are ordered to human needs; taking to prevent imminent disaster isn’t theft. That’s not ends-justify-the-means—it’s the hierarchy of law where natural and divine ends outrank human paperwork.
We close on the ground where most of us live: parishes, families, and the language of vocation. Is there a priest shortage, or too many lightly attended Masses? Is marriage a “calling,” or the natural state when you’re not vowed to virginity or orders? Expect clear answers, a few jokes, and one kid who really loves explosions. If you enjoy smart, unfiltered takes that connect street-level tactics to Arctic strategy, you’re in the right place.

I I want y'all to know after we got done with our show last time, Rob texts me, he goes, Is our outro song 50 Cent? I was like, Yeah, man, what'd you think it was?
SPEAKER_07:I had no idea.
SPEAKER_09:Well, I I'll be honest, I've never listened to 50 Cent before in my life.
SPEAKER_08:I mean, I listened to it because you know I was I was a little bit of a wigger in high school. Uh once again, Southern Anthony. But so I listened to a little bit. My brother's really into hip hop, so that's the reason I know it. But I didn't really I didn't really listen to it a lot. But that I that edit is getting popular, real popular. I've seen it pump up all over some places. I just thought I just remembered that when we were about to come on. Because I remember sending it to you. I was like, hey, are we good with this? Because this is an AI cover of a song. You're like, Yeah, we should be, it shouldn't you know cause any issues, whatever. Yeah, one of our saving graces is we always play it at the end of the show, and it's usually after the two-hour mark. And apparently, like the two hour mark is when like they kind of don't really pay attention to that stuff anymore.
SPEAKER_09:Really? Yeah, like you can get away with a lot of things.
SPEAKER_08:You can say a lot more stuff after two hours on regular YouTube and not worry about being demonetized. It's like there's like a literally a two-hour delineation, and you can start using all kinds of words.
SPEAKER_09:I wonder if we could show a gun after two hours.
SPEAKER_08:Maybe, maybe not. I mean, we're not monetized right now, so maybe we'll do a show one day and we'll just count down to when we're gonna when we're gonna show it. Like a ticker at the top of the screen. Like 35 minutes, we're gonna show it. We're gonna show it.
SPEAKER_09:And then when we do it's gotta be like I don't know. It's gotta be the stupidest gun in the world. It's gotta be a Celtech something.
SPEAKER_08:I've got a Celtec P17, it's not that bad. It's it's kind of cool actually, but uh have a countdown. You gotta have some stupid, you got a lot of guns, you gotta have a stupid gun.
SPEAKER_09:Um we got a lot of sigs. That's true. What, that have a lot of SIGs, or that all the Jews will convert if you guys do a show together. I'll go with both. Or it will kick off the apocalypse. It probably will.
SPEAKER_08:The Anacrite will immediately come out of hiding.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, Battle of Armageddon will start taking place immediately. Uh for a second, I thought that said P POWs. I'm like, well, you should feed them and treat them okay.
SPEAKER_08:And I mean, you know, they it's good that they know more'cause code so they can blink to us that they're being tortured.
SPEAKER_09:I mean, but so PDW's honestly one of the more fun category of guns, in my opinion. And I have a few of them.
SPEAKER_08:I think since the invention of 300 blackout, it's really made a lot of like pistol carbines, pistol caliber carbines, pdw's really obsolete. Because you with the 300 blackout, you can go supersonic and it's like getting hit with a AK, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. True. Or you can go subsonic and it's like getting hit with a really heavy 45.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, I think it I think it depends on what like when someone says PDW, what are they thinking of their head? Are they thinking like a truck gun? Because then, yeah, yeah, 300 blackouts great for that.
SPEAKER_08:I think it's something small, right? Something you can like put in a backpack, maybe, right? Something they can easily get to that's a little bit bigger than your your concealed carry.
SPEAKER_09:Because I could theoretically put my like my 300 blackout jackal, yeah, in the the one backpack I have that has that bottom part that comes out like yours. Yeah, yeah. I think I wouldn't want to carry that everywhere.
SPEAKER_08:That that term is nebulous, though. Like you could mean really anything. What PDF.
SPEAKER_09:Right, that's what I mean. When I so yeah, like what if if you're talking about something bigger than a pistol, and not even necessarily bigger, maybe something that you can brace or you know, put up against your shoulder, you know, that you can't do with a standard handgun, yeah, you know, and carry everywhere, then that's gonna be quite a bit different than you know, a folding stock 300 blackout, you know, rifle, more or less, that's in a truck, you know.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, I might I want to pull up this Iran thing we were talking about a minute ago before we came on.
SPEAKER_09:So I guess when I think of PD PDW personally, I think of a gun bigger than a pistol that I could still carry everywhere in a backpack. Yeah, well, you know, like my I have a kuna.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, the kuna I think would be a good PDW. It's still you know, it's still pistol caliber, it's nine millimeter. Although if you got it in 10 millimeter, that'd be pretty cool.
SPEAKER_09:So they do because that the kuna is imported, right? From what is it? HS products in Croatia, like it is a military firearm, so like they do have them chambered in 40, which is the exact same caliber, you know, size as 10 millimeter. Yeah, so it'd be interesting to see if they ever do a 10 10 millimeter version.
SPEAKER_08:I mean you and you've got the the flux, flux, you know, and flux styles, right? You know, which you could consider a PDW. Yeah, but I mean if you're carrying something like that, I mean it's it's really no more no more power than a pistol, it's gonna be a look just a little bit more accurate. You really want to go some of the bigger caliber if you're wanting to carry something that's off-body, yeah. So I know, but to be honest with you, like when it comes to PDWs, just find something you like and and and carry it if you want to, but it in the backpack or something, but just figure that that's the the wonderful world of firearms.
SPEAKER_09:Because I have uh Smith Wessons FPC, the folding piston pistol caliber carbine.
SPEAKER_08:I have that in 10 millimeter. Well, they've got the folding Celtec 5.7 too. Yeah, yeah, you know, because you you the I the 5.7 pistols are really a waste. It it does, it's not enough barrel length to really get the velocity going on a 5.7 that you need, but that folding 5.7 man, I see a lot of guys use it as like a ranch gun, they'll just keep it in like the side by side or something, and that's what they use to take down varmints and stuff.
SPEAKER_09:PSA uh is finishing up on the um their MP7 at home. Yeah. In 5.7, that should be interesting. Yeah, we'll see how that goes.
SPEAKER_08:All right, so let's uh as we were coming on, this started popping up. So let me go up to it. There's a lot of activity going on over in Iran right now. The so the embassy is being advised to evacuate, all the American citizens in Iran are advised to evacuate and not depend on the government to get out.
SPEAKER_09:And they're specifically saying leave the uh land.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, as well as some indications that there's possibly some signal jamming coming out of Cyprus and near Basra, and as well as there's been reports of the Kurds, not the Kurds, the Iraq going into northern Syria or Syria. I need to drink some more. Right. At the at the behest of the Iranian government. So some things may be going, and that's that then more than likely the the entrance of the Iraqis into Iranian land is probably what is the impetus for things going on, and on top of that, then we have the pizza scale going on right now. I think they're saying orders are 1,000% that's a 1,000% increase right now. In the and all the gay bars are shut down.
SPEAKER_09:I guess. Well, I guess my question is is there any Monday night football right now?
unknown:I don't know.
SPEAKER_09:Is it playoff Monday night football?
SPEAKER_07:Probably not, it's playoffs. I say let's just call it Persia.
SPEAKER_08:I'm fine, I'm good with that. Zoroastria. If y'all want to keep an eye on that, and if y'all see anything pop up, let us know. Because I can't keep monitoring X while we're doing this.
SPEAKER_09:I'm surprised all the liberals are okay with calling it Iran. It literally means land of the Aryans.
SPEAKER_08:I they don't they would they'd have no idea.
SPEAKER_09:That's a good point.
SPEAKER_08:Like, you know who else drink water? Hitler. It's on that same level of thinking.
SPEAKER_09:It was like that that new Texan Steelers are playing, so it could just be could just be Monday night playoff football pizza orders. DC though. Well, think about yeah, DC DC's got people from all over the country, right? Yeah, but not that much. I don't know.
SPEAKER_08:I'm just saying, could be, could be. So I what was it? Someone posted let's see if I can find a minute, but apparently Homeland Security posted another one of their edits. Someone like made the the link to Nazi Germany, of course, to it.
SPEAKER_09:Oh, the one one people, one homeland, one something one heritage, whatever. Yeah, what ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Fuhrer.
SPEAKER_07:Yeah, he says one three times in a row, it's the same thing, I swear. One, one, one, KKK. Oh my gosh.
SPEAKER_09:By the way, thanks to you, I now have a new favorite song.
SPEAKER_08:The pine the uh the pine tree riot, whatever it is. Pine tree riot, yeah. Yeah, man. I I first heard that three years ago. Yeah, because I I had just moved into this house and I was working out in the shop and I had it on my playlist. And then in the middle of my playlist, when in the middle of listening to it, is when they took it off of Shopify or Spotify, like literally in the middle of a song. I couldn't find it at all.
SPEAKER_12:Really?
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, so and then I had to add it to my YouTube music list, the only place I could find it.
SPEAKER_07:But uh I it's on Apple Music, it is now, yeah.
SPEAKER_08:But so when Thursday brought that up, I posted it so people understood the context because that that's like that's so ingrained, and that's such deep lore that no one knew what that was they're referring to. Let me uh yeah, I'll pull that tweet up so we can show people. So Thursday was upset because I called I called out the dog whistle.
SPEAKER_09:Well, yeah, he's like, it's not a dog whistle if you let everyone know Adrian. But I wouldn't have known, I never heard of that song before.
SPEAKER_08:No? No, yeah. I uh when those sea shanties were going around getting real popular is when I first heard it.
SPEAKER_09:It's not really a sea shanty. I mean, it's got it's kind of that style, yeah.
SPEAKER_08:It is so apparently it takes the tune of a popular sea shanty and just use the words. I'm not from England, so I don't really follow sea shanties.
SPEAKER_09:So for anyone who doesn't know, we're referencing this post, which is just a banger of a post. I mean, yeah, say what you want about anything in regard to this. That is an amazing post. And apparently that so we'll have our home again is the title of a song by a group called Pine Tree Riot. That you probably just play that.
SPEAKER_08:I can I can just play it. I don't think that'll upset the YouTube overlords.
SPEAKER_09:Is it back up on Splott? No, that's a different guy. Oh, that's a different guy too. That's crispy the same. Okay, here we go.
SPEAKER_08:He's got this all under control.
SPEAKER_09:Not sure why that had to come up in the Czech version of Apple Music, but that's weird.
SPEAKER_08:It's on YouTube. You can find it all over the place now. Well, I mean, you were before the last couple of days. If y'all want to find it, go you know, go look for we'll post it in the telegram chat too. Speaking of which, if you're not in telegram, get in telegram. I think we got all our normal people on right now, so everybody's probably in telegram. But if you're if you haven't subscribed, subscribe, please. Yes, please subscribe. We're almost at 400. Yeah, we gotta beat those other guys, guys. What other guys? Do they even do a show anymore?
SPEAKER_09:The Council of St. Michael?
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, yeah, they do. Do they? I think so. Maybe I just don't see their posts anymore.
SPEAKER_09:Are they could be could be from all the all the times you were mean to uh Catholic Prepper United or whatever his name was?
SPEAKER_08:I'm not mean to him, I love him like a brother. I just make fun of him. If I didn't like him, I wouldn't make fun of him. That's how this works. That's how this works. So I yeah, so the Iran stuff I wanted to show y'all. We got a lot of stuff to go over tonight. But do you want to pull up that next one on the notes real quick?
SPEAKER_09:Rob the the undesirable bleed out, yes, perfect.
SPEAKER_08:So while he's pulling that, so we're gonna go over the the Minnesota shooting as well, and kind of go through some of the the arguments we're hearing uh about it. So we're gonna go through the legality of it, right? First, and then we're gonna like was it a good shoot? You know what I mean? Just looking at it from the narrative side of it, based on why they were there, what they were doing, what the protesters were doing, like, and there's a vehicle involved, and the vehicle is always considered a deadly weapon. Um, right.
SPEAKER_09:So Minnesota specifically passed a law about that in 2020.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah. Which was after Charlottesville, was the reason that law is passed in Minnesota. If y'all don't remember, there is a young man who is now spending the rest of his life in jail because he is being chased by Antifa, was driving away from them and couldn't get away, and accidentally hit a woman and killed her. And now he's spending the rest of his life in jail as a hate crime. Okay. And that was the the reason for Minnesota implementing that law. But uh, we're gonna give y'all a little snapshot of what it looked like that day from a first person perspective.
SPEAKER_09:Hold on, let me uh Instagram. It's hard to play videos from Instagram.
SPEAKER_08:So I don't feel ever watched those bleed out spot videos on Instagram. I saw that earlier and I sent it to Robinson. We had to play this.
SPEAKER_09:So this last weekend I took my boys on just a little trip with the just the three of us to a little cabin over on the north shore of Lake Superior. And I'm sitting there in front of the fireplace inside, looking out over the lake, and I'm like, Maddie, if you and I went outside and you took my phone and used the camera, could you record me pretending to bleed out right there looking over the lake? And he just looks at me like, Dad, it's too cold out. I'm not doing that. I'm like, okay, okay, fine. Yeah, I got you.
SPEAKER_08:Oh, I'm small, I don't have a lot of body fat on me. I'm gonna freeze to death. It got down to 25 here last night. We're not really used to that in Alabama. 25 is pretty cold here. And the only thing I worry about is like with my animals, I make sure all that they all have water and everything. And I gotta fill everything up because it when it's only 25 overnight and then it warms up at the end of the day, like I don't have to worry about frozen water and everything too bad. I mean, it'll have a little bit of ice on the top, but that's pretty much it. But my kids, man, like they forget how cold it is, and they want to go outside and play, and like five minutes later they come in, their noses are bright red, their cheeks are bright red, they can't feel their hands because they don't go outside in proper clothing, they go outside like t-shirt pants, thinking it like we just you know we're just gonna act like it's always is, but it's amazing how kids are a lot more resilient to that stuff than they think they are. Yeah, um, so let's put let me pull up the oh how I made a image.
SPEAKER_07:I'll just do this.
SPEAKER_08:What are we doing now? Are we doing the I want to pull that law? So I've got that picture of the law in the notes, and I want to let's just do trying to see the best way I can do this because I don't want to show y'all everything on my screen.
SPEAKER_09:Well, I'll pull up the law.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, okay, yeah, just do that. That'd probably be the best thing. Do you need the the code number? 609.066.
SPEAKER_03:There it is. Yep.
SPEAKER_08:So if a driver accelerates towards an officer standing in front of a vehicle, this creates an immediate life threatening danger. The officer does not need to wait until impact. They can act based on the intent or proximity. And the current serving governor is the one who signed this in the law. So just based off of that. It's a good shoot. Right.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah. Before it isn't justified, everyone. Legally justified.
SPEAKER_08:Like no, it's it's tragic she lost her life. It's tragic that she made a horrible decision. And she and to be honest with you, you probably wasn't trying to run him over.
SPEAKER_00:No, probably just trying to get away.
SPEAKER_08:I don't think she had any intent to run him over, but just like when you give a knife to a toddler, they can still hurt people, right? When you give a car to a woman and give her her panic system, people get hurt.
SPEAKER_09:Honestly, never mind. Continue. So we should all just consider ourselves blessed. It was not a Somali woman.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, it it especially in I do I do have six mini tabs open. I have six tabs open, not six million tabs.
SPEAKER_09:There's no way your Chrome could support more than 271,000 bits open.
SPEAKER_08:I bought this laptop for 300 bucks brand new, like two months ago. Like, there's no way this thing can handle 10 open tabs, I'm sure. But it's yeah, I mean, if it was somebody who wasn't white, y'all would the whole state would be burning right now.
SPEAKER_09:As a matter of fact, the black community has citizens, they're like, We realized that this does not impact the black community, and we want no part of it.
SPEAKER_08:Is that and there's even been conversations of people being interviewed, like I kind of feel bad protesting for her because of her white privilege, like and it doesn't make any sense, right? But it lacks all logic anyway. So, based on just that law, it was a justified shoot. Okay, now the other arguments we get are they should have just shot out her tires.
SPEAKER_09:Okay, oh Lilo Rose, you stupid dumb.
SPEAKER_08:So the the problem with that is that a car can still drive on bus on just rims, right?
SPEAKER_09:So are you trying to take my job? Are you trying to are you trying to one up Anthony's showing him that you can do both?
SPEAKER_08:Hey, I can do it all. I can do it all. So just the show. This woman's probably going 60 miles an hour on her, and she's oblivious this is what she's doing right now.
SPEAKER_09:We've shown this video a few times, and I think this woman ended up being out of her mind on antidepressants and stuff.
SPEAKER_08:I've never driven on on uh on rims at all ever, but obviously by video evidence, it can be done.
SPEAKER_09:And actually, what so in that video you see the tires slip on the ice, right? Yep. The a tire will actually have better traction with lower pressure, so you should the tire out, and it actually probably gets better traction on that ice, maybe, yeah.
SPEAKER_08:Uh, because when we used to go do go mudding a lot with my uncle and his Jeep and stuff, he'd always lower his pressure in his tires down to like 10 PSI. Yeah, right, because you the and then we'd you know put it back up when we got done, yeah, back on the road, but get a lot of better traction, especially going over rocks and things like that. So, yeah, if they shot out her tires, she may have been able to hit him even better.
SPEAKER_09:Well, like the uh I could be a mistake, but I think you know the ducks from World War II, those amphibious trucks, yeah. They they could inflate and deflate their tires on the go because they needed to be at at lower tire pressure on the beach on the sand, and then once they would get up on a road, they would you know just remote well flip a switch and the tires would inflate up to proper pressure.
SPEAKER_08:If she was Chinese, she'd have killed like 50 people before she got out of that area.
SPEAKER_09:How many people she was driving and hitting Chinese there wouldn't be any murder to talk about, or there wouldn't be any shooting, there would have been an attempted shooting because those rounds would have gone right over her head, and then she would have gunned it, and like you said, you know, ran into 100 people.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, she had everybody on the way out. Oh, I so saw we that's a good Anthony impersonation, yeah. Exactly. Uh so some of the things that you know because of the because of that shooting, and then the fact that we have uh you know a bigger presence coming into Minnesota, there's going there's a likelihood of something there, they've already got their autonomous zones being built up. Some no, there's a no-go zone right now. I think they did tear that down four or five blocks big at this point, and then this was as of like this afternoon. All this stuff is fluid, you know, things are changing like every hour on what's going on, and then you have the attacks of the protesters of the hotels that they think the ice agents are staying in, and so things are ramping up. So we're we're in a point now where a lot of people are calling for Trump to enact the insurrection act, which I think it's good that they haven't, because once you cross that, you cannot come back.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, I was gonna say that is a Rubicon of sorts.
SPEAKER_08:You and you do not use that arrow in your quiver until you have public sentiment on your side. And unfortunately, what that means is a few ICE members are probably gonna have to die and get violently murdered in the street on camera, live TV, right? And then a bunch of people cheering it on for the rest of the United States, okay, this needs to happen, right? Yeah, that probably will have to happen over multiple cities, like just in Minneapolis. People are there's videos of Minnesota fatigue right now that people have, they're tired of people in Minnesota have Minnesota fatigue.
SPEAKER_09:You know how tired I am of hearing my state on the news. Are you joking me?
SPEAKER_08:But I say all this because the violence is ramping up, and we have issues where it's not just those who are conservative who are learning to exercise their second amendment rights.
SPEAKER_09:Okay, this will probably be fine.
SPEAKER_07:Just I think we'll be okay.
SPEAKER_09:No videos of of gunfiring. Yeah.
SPEAKER_07:So this, let me see if I can uh yeah, you should be able to click on the photo.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, let's just do that. There we go. So they have basically created a mobile hide spot. Okay, they have mounted a it's a short barrel rifle. There's no way that's more than 14.5 with a suppressor on it. Looks like it's got probably a 3 to 18 on it. No red dot that I can see. It's pretty dark.
SPEAKER_09:Is it is that can you tell if it's 556 or 308?
SPEAKER_08:I can't tell, but I mean it'd be it, it could be either or. Uh they have a shower curtain up for a few reasons. One to catch the brass and to catch the gas, and to basically retard any of the signal that you know, any of any of the flash from the muzzle, things like that coming out from the car. All right. So we see things like this. So when I immediately saw this, because this is right in line with a lot of the training I was following, with you know, you know, the PSL, Redneck Revolt, you know, John Brown Gun Club, all these, you know, guys that I've told y'all you need to go watch, you know, Mike over at Ford Observer. He's been following these for a long time. They are preparing, they're getting trained, and they're getting to the point where they're as good, if not better, than most of us. Not me, obviously, but most of y'all. Right. For those of y'all that don't train, like this should give you a reason to go train. Because anytime you go to an urban area, like a city, that's where you're much more likely to run into stuff. You're not gonna, it's very unlikely you're gonna run this stuff out in rural towns, right? If you have to go, like I have to go to downtown Birmingham all the time, right? And I have to be prepared for that. So I bring that up because y'all need to be aware of what they're doing. Now, we currently we have reports of ICE agents are gonna be surging up into Minneapolis area of another a thousand agents into addition of the two thousand they already have up there, and I think the purpose is they're they're basically wanting to outlast the the protesters. Yeah, they want to basically just get them to the point and have enough agents up there to keep it and make them exhausted where they just get tired of protesting. Because I don't think the Trump has no desire, it seems, to back down whatsoever. He learned his lesson in 2020, right? Which is good because we're all scared that he didn't, but apparently he has. But he's backing all of his guys, and there's no one in the administration who's being mealy-mouthed about any of this, and they're willing to do what needs to be done.
SPEAKER_09:If if anything, they're doubling and tripling down every single time.
SPEAKER_08:So the the rhetoric is going to get worse. The narrative is going to keep be getting pushed to try and make it seem like ice is being much more violent than they really are, or they're stepping across bounds that they shouldn't. Arresting, like there's a story going around about a 17-year-old arrested at Target earlier today, and they're just trying to blow that up and like it's an abuse of power, and all that.
SPEAKER_09:Or the there's a video of an ICE agent supposedly taking a taking a woman into a quarterbody, right? And and then not coming out. Turns out that was a man, not a woman, you know. So, like, yeah, they're they're telling every on every lie they can to to swing the narrative their way.
SPEAKER_08:And just and I think the one of the faults that the left has is they think everyone's on social media, and they think that as long as they pump it out as much as they can on social media, that everyone's gonna fall in line with their narrative. But what they're not understanding is there's a lot of and and social media influences mainstream media now, it's not the opposite way anymore, and so that will happen. There will be some bleed over, but a lot more people have in-person experience with a lot of this, like contractors who can't get jobs because they're constantly being outbid by illegal immigrants, or finding out that the fraud is in your small town USA as well. Like you're wondering why is there 13 childcares on the same road in your small little town?
SPEAKER_09:Well, you know, because they're in acting, they're taking part in the same fraud that Somali citizens are the left doesn't realize like it's getting to the point where the the right and you're the average person, honestly, doesn't just want illegal immigrants out anymore. Sorry, all those legal Indians that have come over. No, no, no, they need to go to yeah, you know, like it's it's they weren't prepared for the overton window to shift as drastically as it has.
SPEAKER_08:And they and they brought it on themselves, they do, uh and and they it's it's just a matter of where the left doesn't understand human nature, right? Because you have a lot of I've seen a lot of videos of supposed military veterans criticizing the ice, right? More than likely, those are guys that served in an office somewhere, never saw any type of combat whatsoever, right? I'm not worried about those guys, right? When you the time you that needs to the worry needs to happen is when you have guys with combat experience start getting vocal about things, and you need to listen to what they're saying, and most of those guys are in support of ice. There's a dabbling here, you know, a little bit of them that are on the left. You've got your Antifa who are in special forces, right? There's a few of those out there training them and stuff, but most of them are in support of ICE, most of them are in support of the narrative that the DHS X accounts putting out. They're they're ready to to get their country back, basically. And so this isn't the the Overton window, is it's not slowly going to the right, it's being violently shoved to the right because a lot of things are being exposed. Let's see. Yeah. So there's a there's a term of endearment in the military called a pogue, right? Personnel other than grunt. So anybody that that didn't serve in the infantry or at some type of infantry capacity were considered pogues, right? And they were their opinion was disregarded pretty easily in the military. But it's just a matter of like when you have skin in the game, your opinion weighs more. Like when you've gone out and put yourself in the line or you've bled your brothers on your right and the left, your opinion matters way more, right? Than the guy who lost your paperwork and didn't get you paid for two pay periods in a row, and all there's no repercussions for him whatsoever. Can't tell you how many of those guys I know that had, you know, their pay messed up because they had to go to a training they're required to go to, and admin didn't file it correctly, and all of a sudden they're now there without a paycheck for two months.
SPEAKER_09:Man.
SPEAKER_08:You know, and so there's not a lot of not a lot of respect for the guys that don't serve in the combat arms MOSs. Let's see. What else? Does that hit on Minnesota?
SPEAKER_09:Surge of ice agents, you have violence ramping up. What about what was physics?
SPEAKER_08:Oh, yeah, yeah. That was the video, that was the car video. Okay. The physics of shooting someone's tires out. That's insane. I'm gonna I'm gonna pivot into Greenland, but before I do that, can you play the CQB as gay video? Because I gotta get a charger for my my laptop's dying. CQB is gay video. Okay.
SPEAKER_09:I will get this pulled up for everyone.
SPEAKER_03:Give me a minute, guys. Sorry about that.
SPEAKER_06:Again, like I've stated before, CQB is gay. That's true. Because you're you're clearing rooms with other men. And you're looking for what? Men. And you're collapsing sectors on. Again, like I've stated before, CQB is gay.
SPEAKER_09:And we all know how Adrian really feels with CQB.
SPEAKER_08:Uh it just it like when you're when you're in the the gun tube or you're watching gun tube for long enough, you still you see cycles, right? So when I first started getting into it, probably a year before I got out of the Marines, everything was about like assault, basically assault gear. Plate carrier, three mags on the front, IFAC on the side, your 10 and a half inch rifle, you know, with suppressors weren't very prevalent then. And then that went away. And they got into like Recce, right? Yeah. Or the sniper or whatever, right? And to that long range area. And then from there, it went into I mean, I don't know how to put this. It got into more like the survivalist and small unit tactics. Right now we're shift, then we shifted back into the to the assault men, basically, the plate carriers. So like you're seeing these constant circular patterns of the gun tube, and it's just constantly going around. Supposed to griper rob. So when you're when you see these things, and you see griper rob.
SPEAKER_09:No, did Happy give me a fanny pack?
SPEAKER_08:No, he gave you a purse.
SPEAKER_09:That's a that's a I think I think men call them crossbody bags.
SPEAKER_08:That looks like a purse. Play it, play it again, let's see it move. It's a satchel, not a purse.
SPEAKER_09:Oh my gosh.
SPEAKER_08:That's awesome. So, anyway, so with CQB, CQB went in, was really big for a couple of years, and then it kind of went out, and nobody really focused on it for very long, for much longer. Now it you know, it came back real big probably a year ago, and it's starting to cycle out again. But there's so what what's next then? What's next from here? Well, we're in it now. We're in the precision marksmanship phase is next. That's real big now. You're seeing a lot of people focus on the 3 to 18 or 5 to 35s, you know, glass on top of a you know, like a 6.5 Creedmore or 308 or you know, or a six arc or something, right? Right. And you know, so who the the the things that changes the cycles though is technology. When new technology comes out, it changes what the cycle's gonna be. Like right now, the big you know, the big thing that everybody's raving about is the what is that suppressor company? Uh the uh it starts with an A ambient, ambient, yeah, ambient suppressors because they're using ambient air, yeah. He uses ambient air to cool down the suppressor so it's cool to touch, even after you know, a full mag dump. So that I I foresee that technology and that design is gonna be copied, yeah, and you're gonna see it start to start to change some things because I was watching the grand thumb video on it, and one of the things they brought up that I didn't really think about is when you have a suppressor on a rifle, because it gets so hot, it uses the rifle barrel as a heat sink to kind of sap some of that heat off of it. But on this suppressor, because it's cool, it becomes for the barrel, right? Which then can your barrels will last longer, right? As well as get better accuracy, right? So I it'll be interesting to see how that's ambient suppressor on one of Lima 6's belt feds, yeah. Could be interesting, yeah. Yeah, Paul, that's the one that Grand Thumb had a video come out yesterday or today, yesterday, Sunday, I think, is when it came out. It's a good they went over a lot of stuff about it, and it it doesn't suppress very much. And let's let's get this understanding out there so y'all are aware of this. The only round that you're gonna get true hearing safe shots. Is using ammo on a 300 blackout or some type of pistol carbine, right? That's it. 556, 556, 556, you're never gonna get hearing safe shooting out of it. Anything super right, you still need to use hearing production with 556. The purpose of using a suppressor on a 556 is for signature reduction and a little bit of sound reduction. Because even though it's still loud by you, when you're 50 yards out, you don't hear it as well, right? Whereas right now, like if I shot my rifle off on my back deck right now, they're gonna hear it for half a mile in every way. But even just throwing a suppressor on it.
SPEAKER_09:Not only will they they hear it, they'll know immediately what it was, and they'll know what direction.
SPEAKER_08:Yes, right. But if I throw a suppressor on it, it's still gonna be loud to me. But my next door neighbors probably won't know I'm shooting. Who are I mean, they're 100, they're 200 yards away, right? My next door neighbors are, so they'll probably have no idea, right? But it's still loud to me because it's right by my ear. So it's not gonna be hearing safe for you, but it's going to reduce that capability for people to know where you're shooting from, right? To see it, because there's no muzzle flash as well. So there is a purpose to have suppressors on the 556, but it's it's not so much for the sound for you, it's for the sound for the people you're shooting at. So, like right now, we're in night vision season, right? Sun goes down at like 5 p.m., right? You if you have night vision goggles, you should be going outside and just walking around and getting used to it, right? Um, this would be a good reason. A suppressor, instead of seeing a fireball come out of the end of your muzzle, especially the muzzle break, which in my opinion, there's no reason for a muzzle break. You should always have a flash suppressor or flash hider. But that fireball that comes out, people can see that for hundreds of yards away, even through trees, especially now when there's no leaves on the so that'll be that'll be interesting to see how that technology changes things.
SPEAKER_09:Let's see. I wonder what what sort of visibility reduction that ambient suppressor has on thermals compared to a I mean, obviously the gun, and it's still gonna get yeah, a lot of that is from the material too, right?
SPEAKER_08:So, like titanium has a much big, especially first round pop than other materials. Your stainless steel is gonna have the least amount of first-round pop, but it's gonna be the heaviest. Your Inkanel is going to have uh you know a little bit more than this than a stainless steel, but it's gonna be more durable than stainless steel, and it's but it's also gonna be a little bit heavier than stainless steel. So you it's really just a give and take on what you're most worried about. But like I my trash pan is a titanium suppressor, I will probably switch it to my hunting rifle here soon instead of keeping it on my normal defense rifle rifle. What are you showing? Is that you in laser eyes?
SPEAKER_09:I forget, I forgot you can see that. Yeah, uh, I forget who did that. Hold on, let me might as well pull it up here for everyone.
SPEAKER_08:I forget who did this, but someone did the uh this is uh this is Rob when he comes upon a Somali protest in his in his vehicle.
SPEAKER_09:That's what I replied to Anthony's uh video with.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, titanium spritz suppressors spark a lot. That's why and I should I shoot it now. Like my trash pan is a great suppressor, don't get me wrong, but it sparks, it looks like fireworks going off the end of my rifle. All right, let's switch into Greenland. I want to talk about Greenland, and I want to go over Daniel O'Connor's tweet as well. That was a very good tweet by MIT. It was so I want to start off with that the summary of thinking link. This is from a TV now. Keep in mind, this is not this is a TV show, so this is fiction. But I want y'all to the the reason I want to bring that up is because it's a good example of what the thinking of why we need Greenland is, right? And what and what the geopolitical and the defense and military reasons for us to have at least Greenland as a territory or a uh preferred ally.
SPEAKER_09:I like the old school term protectorate, protectorate, protectorate. I give it that vassal. I like vassal too. Vassal, vassal state, yeah. Yeah, let me uh restart this.
SPEAKER_01:The quickest way for Russia to penetrate our naval defenses is seeming from the Arctic to the North Atlantic. This is our military presence in the Arctic. Can you make it bigger? These were Russia's military positions in 19.
SPEAKER_09:No, this is the downside of the Instagram. No, that's fine.
SPEAKER_08:Can you like zoom in on your browser? There we go. That's a little better. Yeah, that's a little better.
SPEAKER_09:Well, hold on, let me restart.
SPEAKER_08:I don't have motion sickness.
SPEAKER_09:Hold on, I hate this.
SPEAKER_08:Trying to give you all a better view of this. I probably I should have screenshot it, but just screen captured it. There, there's good.
SPEAKER_01:The quickest way for Russia to penetrate our naval defenses is steaming from the Arctic to the North Atlantic. This is our military presence in the Arctic. These were Russia's Arctic military positions in 1995. Today, infantry, naval, radar, search and rescue, air defense, the biggest buildup since the Soviets fell. This is where we lost Russia's most sophisticated submarines in the North Atlantic for three weeks. This is where we found their Lasharik submarine, which we noticed only because it caught fire. We have no idea how many more there are, but we think they're around here, here, here, and here. This is Kriegan. You know what Kriegan is? A nuclear submarine base in Scotland. All of the UK's nuclear weaponry is housed at Cregan. It's what makes them one of the nine nuclear powers. Also, it's the only base in Europe where we can dock our nuclear subs. It's the last place we have any hope of detecting a Russian sub before it's in the vast Atlantic barreling toward New York. Cregan is target one in the European theater of war. The Scots hate nukes and they hate English overreach, but they really hate having a bullseye on their heads. If Scotland had gone independent, they would have closed the base. In a second. When we took our forces out of Iceland, Russian subactivity skyrocketed, as did air incursions. When we pulled our combat brigades from Europe, anyone?
SPEAKER_11:Russia annexed Crimea.
SPEAKER_01:Is there a universe in which the United States could afford to lose the base in Scotland?
SPEAKER_08:No.
unknown:All right.
SPEAKER_08:Can you bring up the map? Let's write two after that. I'm gonna show you all there. There's a difference between in the maps that we use. The Makeda map is the one that most of us are are familiar with. That is not the world, it is not a cylinder, right? It's a sphere. So it's much different when it when it is presented on a globe. We used to have a globe down here. I guess it's upstairs in the school room now. This is what the top of the earth looks like. Right. So you can see between us and Russia is the Arctic and Greenland. Okay. So most of like in that video, yes, there's a lot of Russian built-up forces at the top of the screen here over by Alaska, right? As well as in the middle of the screen to the right, where the northern part of Russia is, right before you hit Finland.
SPEAKER_09:Most of them there. Most of Russia's forces are here on the Kola Peninsula. They have their main nuclear submarines there, their strategic bombers there. Yeah. You know, and then as far as their missile fields, yeah, it's kind of spread all over all throughout here. So everything's got to go over Greenland, whether it hits the eastern U.S. or the Western U.S., it all goes over Greenland, basically.
SPEAKER_08:That that is the biggest reason for the push for Greenland. Because we are in Monroe Doctrine 2.0, electric boogaloo now, and we are trying to shore up our hemisphere because we had too many foreign adversaries with influence in countries that surrounded us. The reason we took we did what we did to Venezuela, we kicked out China, we kicked out Russia. Next is probably going to be Cuba and Iran. Iran's for other reasons, but Cuba's probably next, Colombia is probably next as well, and Mexico. All that influence is being pushed out. So this is a security measure. This is this is a whether you we agree with it or not, does not matter whether this is a justified you know taking of another country. We're not taking anybody, right? That's just that's the art of the deal with Trump, right? Make the big ask be willing to compromise a little bit, right? The big ask is hey, if you don't sell us Greenland, we're just gonna take it. We're not gonna take Greenland. We're either going to push for their independence and make them a preferred ally, or we're going to buy them. We would much rather buy them, we'd rather have full control of it, which isn't outside. There's only like 200,000, 250,000 people that live in all of Greenland. Wrong. 50,000. I thought it was 250. 50,000. And they're on the southern tip.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, the southern yeah, there's mostly here, yeah, and then some along here. 50,000 people is all that live. So I was way off. 50,000 people, that's it. That's I mean, the Biden administration was taking in 50,000 illegals a month.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah. I mean, to be honest with you, we should just give each person in Iceland a million bucks here, becoming U.S. assistance. What's that? Five billion bucks, five billion dollars, fifty fifty billion, right? We sent that to Ukraine and just take Greenland that way. I need you all to vote to become a to to go with the annex. But that's the reason for it. That's a reason for it. It's not the it's a reason. There's other reasons. There's natural resources in Greenland that we can utilize for our security as well. But there was also Greenland.
SPEAKER_09:So you have the the Greenland, Iceland, UK. I'm showing on the wrong, hold on. Okay, now you can see my mouse. You have the Greenland, Iceland, UK gap right here. That the when the Soviet the Soviets to get their submarines out of Murmansk have to go through the Greenland Ice, the Greenland, Iceland, UK gap if they want to get to the Atlantic, right? Because otherwise they have to go down into the North Sea and then out through the English Channel, and that just there's no way. It's too shallow. The subs will be detected for sure. So they got to go through either the Greenland-Iceland gap or the Iceland-UK gap. During the Soviet or during the Cold War, when communications cables were laid across the ocean, right? All your internet, your phone, your telegraph, all that infrastructure. Well, it was US companies laying those cables. And we also had them set up hydrophonic stations along those cables to where we had hydrophones along the cables here that could detect any Soviet subs coming through the Greenland-Iceland UK gap. Now, I don't know if if those hydrophones are still operational, if we've replaced them, whatnot, but if we're in a situation where we really can't trust the UK or the UK doesn't want to trust us, and Iceland is more, yes, look useless. Yeah, to stop Soviet subs.
SPEAKER_08:One of the things I think about a lot when watching like old videos of like TNT or something that occasionally go back to. Really, the only one I know of is Our Lady of Champion, right? That I know has explicit references to the United States, which makes me, you know, wonder what like with these this prophecy of you know the great monarch and the great pope, they're you know, supposedly supposed to come in the sixth age, right before the sixth age or at the beginning of the sixth age. Where does the US lay in all this? Like, are we so embroiled in our own war that we're not involved in any of that? Are we just not here anymore? Like, are we just nuked off the face of the earth? Like what you know, what happens there? Because we're not mentioned whatsoever.
SPEAKER_09:Do you know of any? I don't know. It's hard to say. Uh a lot of the prophecies tend to have to do with the the nation or or people that that seer is a part of, right? Because the we do know that a lot of private revelation is usually meant specifically for that individual, not all of it, but we know you know some of it is.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, that's true. I don't know. I don't know. I mean, it's not not that it's curious, right? Makes me wonder, it's curious while we're never mentioned in any of anything, right? So our lady of La Salette in this in the 1600s can mention Freemasons, right? Which hadn't even really been invented yet, technically. And we still don't have anything about us. And our lady of champion, and I think it was a year ago, last year, is when they decided to remove its approval.
SPEAKER_09:Well, I know I know the the vision itself, well not the vision, but the the term starts with an A. Apparition? Yeah, the apparition itself is approved, right?
SPEAKER_08:I haven't heard anything about the apparition. It was, it was, but I I remember them removing the approval for the apparition last year under the Francis pontificate. I don't think so, man. I I yeah, I'm pretty sure Francis removes radio champion.
SPEAKER_09:No, because they yeah, they were yeah, they're officially approved by the Vatican. They were under Burke, right? When Burke was in there, worthy of belief in 2010. And then in 2022, Francis's DDW approved an annual observance of solemnity for it.
SPEAKER_08:There was something where they removed it, it was no longer approved.
SPEAKER_09:Are you sure you're not thinking of another one?
SPEAKER_08:I'm pretty sure it was because I was shocked because it was the only one in America. Because everyone was shocked that they did that.
SPEAKER_09:Now, there also is, as far as I know, there's no prophecy related to this to our lady of champion.
SPEAKER_08:There were there so the apparitions of the seer was basically you just telling them to catechize the children, right? Yeah, it's really all it was. Yeah, I'll have to find it. I'll post it in the telegram because I remember seeing that. I was like, how do you remove approval of an apparition after it's already been approved? I'll have to find it later. But there's no, like I said, there's there's no mention whatsoever of America in any of these. So it makes me wonder like we're just gonna be wiped off the face of the earth. Have you heard of this one? I have that's the one that Father Wolf does, right? He's got a really good series on YouTube. There's one that was in Rome, right? By the guy who was gonna like kill the Pope or something, and he was stopped. Not familiar with that one. Yeah, it's uh Father Nyx speaks highly of it. He thinks it's he thinks uh a lot of everybody should watch it. So let's play the should we buy Greenland clip real quick.
SPEAKER_09:Okay, let me pull that one up here. All you and your Instagram videos.
SPEAKER_08:My wife hates it too. That's where all the best stuff is, guys. That's where all the best stuff is.
SPEAKER_09:Well, I I agree, but it's harder. The format makes it impossible for this sort of stuff. Let's see here. If I remember right, this video's got a little swearing in it, doesn't it? It may. If it does, guys, I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_08:Ear m up to your kids. Let's see.
SPEAKER_05:Should you sell it? Well, you've got you've got the alternative is they take it. I mean, no offense to your fine military. Okay, why don't we just have a quick game? I'm just gonna ask a question. Hands up, who hands a military when they can't even afford blanks, they've just got to say bang. It's you, isn't it? It's fucking you.
SPEAKER_08:Should you sell it? So I found the story. It's from May of 2020. So Our Lady of Champion used to be Our Lady of America.
SPEAKER_09:No title. I don't think so.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah. Our Lady of Champion was changed to Our Lady, or Our Lady of America was changed to Our Lady of Champion. Well the chat agrees with me.
SPEAKER_09:Our Lady of America appeared as Sister Mary Ephraim starting in 1956 in Indiana.
SPEAKER_08:What was the name of Our Lady of Champion before, guys? Let us know. I've always known it as Our Lady of Champion, I guess. Our Lady of Champion had a different name. Alright, so the one so Our Lady of Champion was Adele Brees.
SPEAKER_09:Was the national shrine of Our Lady of Good Help.
SPEAKER_08:Good help, that's what it was. Alright, so I got it mixed up. Don't pay attention to me. I'm done.
SPEAKER_09:Okay, so Champion is completely fine.
SPEAKER_08:Our Lady of America is not approved.
SPEAKER_07:That came out in 2020. And then there's what's the one in the one by Ann.
SPEAKER_09:Bayfield, Our Lady of Maybe it's not Bayfield. Bayside. Our Lady of the Roses. The Bayside apparitions. Okay. No, no, no. Bayside of Lake. Long Island. Maybe it's not Long Island. I don't know. Say Our Lady of Bayside? Let's look that up. When I was in the one time I visited New York.
SPEAKER_08:Here it is on the WTN. 1960s, a woman in Bayside, reporter Apparations of Our Lady, Our Lord and St. Therese. They're alleged phenomena, claiming miraculous healings, concentrating on new revelations, including a new title for Mary, Our Lady of the Roses, Help of Mothers. I don't know why we'd argue that one. Eventually they are judged not supernatural by the Bishop of Brooklyn.
SPEAKER_09:Apparently, uh she said Mary told her that test tube babies do not have souls.
SPEAKER_08:Y'all seeing real-time analysis going on right now.
SPEAKER_09:Oh, the UK handed Hong Kong back to China. That was it. That was the Princess Diana died. That was it, guys. Pathfinder landed on Mars. Princess Diana was the oh wait, no, no, no. This is it. This is the warning right here, guys. Actually, there's two of them. Number one, the first Harry Potter book was published. But here it is. Here is a portal. Here is the warning from Our Lady. Heaven's Gate happened in 1997. Could have been any of those.
SPEAKER_08:Princess Diana was the catacomb.
SPEAKER_09:Either that or all those cult members of Nikes were.
SPEAKER_08:Man, a lot happened in 97. Who knew? I mean, she's got, but there's some like good things here. Some of these supposedly from her writings. This is a supposedly from Our Lady. Pastors, no hands other than those consecrated by legally ordained priests shall give the host to others. Better that you spend more time consummating your role as the representative of Christ than joining the world. The extraordinary ministers have become a farce. Women, children, whatever shall become of you, the rules of discipline in the house of my son have already been given. This is in 75. This was four years before the adult in the whole United States, wasn't it? Wasn't that in 79?
SPEAKER_09:78, 79, something like that.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah. So this is a few years before the indult across the whole United States. Only legally ordained representatives of my son, they received the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit deems that they shall bring the host of the man and the woman.
SPEAKER_09:I bet the 1970 Trads were all for it.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, 1979, a priest, my children is a chosen man of God. A true legally ordained priest is far superior than any man, as he represents me in the Godhead. Yeah, Trads were all over that one. Oh yeah. I mean, like, to be honest with you, there's nothing really that wrong in there. It's just a little probably a little harsher than they wanted to hear five years after the new mass had been promulgated. She goes on about married deacons too. But I'm not gonna bore y'all with that.
SPEAKER_09:I'll be honest. I've never really met one I liked.
SPEAKER_08:A married deacon?
SPEAKER_09:Yeah. A permanent deacon, yeah.
SPEAKER_08:There, I there's like one on X I like. I know who you're I bet I know who you're talking about. Out of Oklahoma. Garlic. Yep. Yeah. He's about it. I don't like in person. Like I've got friends who's have dads who are permanent deacons. I don't really know them though, so I can't really make it, but the ones that I've dealt with at parishes, they're a stereotype.
SPEAKER_09:Yes.
SPEAKER_08:Of their generation.
SPEAKER_09:Yes. Like they are almost to a fault the most hen-packed, emasculated men ever. Yeah.
SPEAKER_08:A deacon is just a step before a priest.
unknown:Right?
SPEAKER_08:All priests are deacons. Yep. So but it was never, as far as I'm aware, and please correct me, it was never intended to be a stopping point.
SPEAKER_09:Right.
SPEAKER_08:You were into deacon and then stopped.
SPEAKER_09:Originally, yeah.
SPEAKER_08:Originally, yes.
SPEAKER_09:But not when they were literally because deacons are supposed to be assistants to the bishop. They're not supposed to that's the parishes to help out.
unknown:Right.
SPEAKER_09:They're supposed to be administrators. Yes, exactly.
SPEAKER_08:But in the development of the steps up to the priest, right? It was never intended. Like you, you get ordained up to deacon, then you stop. Well, now you can get married too. Or if you're already married, great. You know, like that was there's never an ideal for a permanent married diaconate. Because even as a deacon, a married deacon, their life is hard. You're split between two things. You're split between your ministry, which you have to be on call for all the time, and your family. Yep, most of them don't do either of them well.
SPEAKER_09:I was gonna say, I I have a a novus ordo priest who it was probably 2019, 2020. You know, I I asked if you know what he thought about them. And he said he's never met one that was both a good father and a good deacon.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, but it's like it's akin to to women working outside the home, right? They're working for somebody, either they're working for a boss or they're working for their family, and they're usually torn between both. You know, you're if you're spending all day at work and then coming home, you still have to be, you still have to work at home too, because you're still a mother, but then you're depriving your children while you're at your job all day, right? You can't do either of them well. That's why a woman's natural position is to be the homemaker to raise those children to go out into the world, you know. So you can't be torn between two things, right? You will never do either of them well. Exactly. Exactly. Uh the deacon of my parish is cool, but he just got ordained when his kids are already adults and married. That's not that big of an issue, but what about when he starts having grandkids? Right? He should be there for his grandchildren and his children, right? He's still being split.
SPEAKER_07:Plus, what's the point? What can he do for that parish that they need?
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, why not just be never understood that? Why not just work at the parish? Like they don't need you at the altar, right? We so my and this is a hot take I have, and some people uh disagree. I don't think we have a deprivation of priests. No, I don't, I'm right there with you. I've been saying this for years too many masses, right? So, for example, there's a parish down the street from me, they have three masses on Sundays. Each mass is maybe a fifth full. Cut it down to one mass, make people prioritize going to mass, and you have one priest given one mass, and he's not being pulled in three different directions on a Sunday. Right, we we do have an issue with not enough priests to be in all the all the churches, but there's nobody in those churches because they didn't teach the faith. Yeah, because the faith wasn't taught, people didn't keep their kids in the faith, they didn't have kids, they didn't maintain the faith themselves, and so now that church is closing.
SPEAKER_09:Turns out when you have a drop in vocations due to poor catechesis, you have a pretty similarly sized drop in just attendance in general, exactly.
SPEAKER_08:All right, so let's uh let's go. You want to go over the O'Connor tweet?
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, let me see if I can find that.
SPEAKER_08:See if anything else is going on with Iran. Because it looked like something was eminent going on. Nope. Don't don't search Iran because it changes it to Iram, and apparently that is a Chinese word.
SPEAKER_07:All right, let's see. Uh nope.
SPEAKER_09:Nope.
SPEAKER_08:Don't see anything there. Yeah, nothing yet. I bet it happens tonight while we're sleeping. Wake up in the morning, like Tayron's gonna be bombed.
SPEAKER_09:Just like we did uh Saturday a couple weeks ago. Wake up, yeah, and yeah, I was just coming off of being sick. I woke up at like 10 a.m. super late, way later than normal. I wake up and like look at my phone, it's like honey, honey, honey, we're we're at war. Oh no, no, no, never mind.
SPEAKER_08:No, it was just a really elaborate kidnapping, yeah. Uh so let's let's read this Daniel O'Connor tweet. And this is he's in he's replying to Ed Faser, Matt Walsh, Timothy Gordon, all these other guys. No, they're not weighing in. No, but he's weighing in on that conversation, yeah. Right? Because Ed Faser is a very smart, very adept Thomist who has a touch of the TDS. He does. He yes, we'll leave it at that. All right, so I'm just gonna read this real quick. So, Daniel O'Connor, again, I don't know what should be done regarding Greenland, but unthinkable cataclysm is not unlikely if, even in the context of doing what is deemed necessary to avert nuclear holocaust, the U.S. operates under the false premise that taking what isn't yours is intrinsically evil and always wrong. Below is Aquinas' refutation of that error. So let's just go to that real quick. Yeah. Then we can talk about the rest of this. All right. So I'll just read it from the top. I'm not gonna Actually, I'll just read the bold. If the need be so manifest and urgent that it is evident that the present need must be remedied by whatever means be at hand, for instance, when a person is in some imminent danger and there is no other possible remedy, then it is lawful for a man to succor his own need by means of another's property by taking it either openly or secretly, nor is this properly speaking theft or robbery. This is the exact same question that people refer to when they say, Is it is it a sin to steal food if you're starving? Right. Right. So this is the refutation that Daniel's given to Ed Faser and others who are arguing against taking Greenland, right? Because it is a mash a matter of national security for us to at least be in good relation with Greenland. And right now we cannot depend on Denmark or any of the European whatsoever. And some of that is because they are not as big allies with our greatest ally. They are usually the votes in the UN against Israel, and for whatever reason, Trump loves Israel, and that's a lot of the reason we can't depend on them because they view us in the same light. So you're gonna have to ask someone way smarter than me.
SPEAKER_09:So actually, the the first paragraph of this that we didn't read kind of answers that. So Paul wants to know how does this how does this square with the you know with consequentialism, right? How in Catholic theol moral theology doesn't matter if the end is good, you cannot do something that is inherently evil for that good end, right? So uh kind of from an initial reading, this from Aquinas sounds almost like that. That that if you really need it, then it then the ends justify the means. It almost sounds like that. But what what how he starts is in cases of all things or in cases of need, all things are common property, so that there would seem to be no sin in taking another property for that need has made it common. So, in other words, things which are of human right, like property, property is a human right, it's not a natural right, it's not a divine right, it's not right, it's not part of divine or natural law, it's part of human law. Things that which are of human right cannot derive derogate, right? Is that what yeah, from natural right or divine right? So, according to the natural order established by God, inferior things like material things are ordained for the purpose of succoring man's needs by their means. So those inferior things like like material and property, they they exist for for helping man. So when when that need is there, then they do become common property in a sense, right? It's it's not it's not communism where everything is always everyone's property. It's when you really do need it, then it becomes common property to be used.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, and it's it's it's the same as like there was a story during the 40s during the during the war.
SPEAKER_09:There was a I was well, how how long are we into the stream right now?
SPEAKER_08:We uh we got some time. But there was a there was a story during the Second World War where a farm in Kansas was hoarding a lot of his crop. And he had some there were some people in his town who were starving, right? And he refused to give them any. He only was willing to sell it to them at the highest price at the time. And the townsfolk basically rose against him and acquired and took the food from him to give to those people that were starving, right? So when it which is hard for us as Americans to hear because we are so ingrained in the idea that my what I own is mine, no one else has a right to it.
SPEAKER_09:It's one of the things that I wouldn't say I miss because I've never experienced it, but one of the things that seems that I wish we could bring back is like the medieval feudal idea of the commons, right? You know, when when say you're you have a village, you have you know, your business is in the village, you have uh the the farmers maybe living on the outside of the village and they have have have private land, but there is what they call the commons next to the village as well, where it is common land, not owned by anyone, that anyone and everyone can use, they can hunt, they can fish, they can plant crops. It is common land available for for all to use, it's not owned by anyone, it's just literally there for the common good. And in America, it's that's totally totally foreign to us, right?
SPEAKER_08:That whole idea like national parks and such go are almost like that. Yeah, true, that's true.
SPEAKER_09:But but there's more rules about what you can't do in a national park, yeah.
SPEAKER_08:You can't plant crops in a national park, like it, you know, like the Bureau of Land Management. You have to lease from them land for your your cattle to graze on if you live in an area that your your land of buttons up to it, right? So it's not really still commons, but it's it's as close as what we have in the United States, you know, national parks, state parks, city parks, things of that sort. I think the issue that we run into as Americans is really it's the Protestant work ethic and greed. Yeah, you know, if if land is out there for me to use, I'm gonna use it for my good and for my good only, and for me to gain as much as I can out of it, and everyone else is just at it gonna have to be at a disadvantage. And that's something that has been ingrained in this country since its founding. Yeah, it is. If y'all have never hunted on public land, I haven't done it in years, but I remember me and my dad almost getting shot on public land, and this is weird. I mean, we I was basically a giant, you know, traffic cone walking through the forest. Um, and I still almost got shot.
SPEAKER_09:See it it's quite a bit different up here because we're in the middle of one of the of like one of the nation's largest national forests, right? So it's all public. Public land, and we have very few people up here in general, so it's easy to find a piece of public land to hunt that no one else is on. But yeah, even then, the the the laws and regulations and the amount of power that the average conservation uh officer has is crazy.
SPEAKER_08:It is if you like down here, I don't know if it's the same with you know game and wildlife up there, but down here, if you are caught illegally hunting and say you you say you took a deer out of season and you took it back home in your truck, they can seize your truck, yes, and they can confiscate your house because you parked your truck at the house.
SPEAKER_09:Like they in fact, but they will take your truck here.
SPEAKER_08:A lot of federal law enforcement will use game wardens to get access to things they couldn't normally get to.
SPEAKER_09:I was gonna say, uh, because I I think if they think you have say you're over your limit of fish in the freezer, they don't need a warrant. I don't know how, but I'm pretty sure they don't need a warrant to come check. I yeah, I think I think you waive your what right when you get a fishing license.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, I mean it it's just wild how much power that they're giving. And we allowed them to have, yeah. Like, how's nobody ever fought back on that? It will one day, like it we're in that point now where people are no longer just blindly obeying authority anymore. We're questioning a lot.
SPEAKER_09:Um successfully formed one a potato. Did they really? Yes, someone did one of them did succeed.
SPEAKER_08:That's awesome. The only thing I like, I want to I want to turn all my short barrel rifles into SBRs. I just I don't feel like dealing the paperwork.
SPEAKER_09:Okay, so so I that 200 tax stamp, that's gone for SBRs too, right?
SPEAKER_08:So I could it would you I mean I'd uh I just have to go through all the paperwork, but yeah, that SPK that's SP5K I could put a yeah, and apparently those are coming back very quickly, like within a couple of days.
SPEAKER_09:That's what I'm hearing.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, now the form fours, like I'm still hearing at least six days right now. We'll see. I've got I've got a buddy who put one in on last Thursday, and I told him to let me know when it goes to the water. Which one which one are the Form 4s? Suppressor. Okay for a suppressor. So we'll see how it goes for him. Because right now, like you you you have a wave that came in after the front of the year, and it'll die down as it as all the people who are waiting to get it, but it's gonna still stay high. Um this one. Did you put in some potatoes too?
SPEAKER_09:I guess do you mean pistol like a pistol brace on it or completely without it?
SPEAKER_08:The the purpose of having a an actual stock on there is one, it feels better to shoot, and it doesn't look dumb. Yeah, it's just way more comfortable to shoot. It and it depends and you can get stocks that have accessories to it. Like I've got like my B5 stock, I've got I put two extra or actually four extra one, two, three batteries in it. You know, so you there's some things like that, but it's really just comfortability.
SPEAKER_09:And for instance, like for the for my SP5K, I just got there's all the braces that are out, don't even have they it's it's just a tube. Like if all the if I go to hkparts.com, all the braces are just bare tubes, you know, whereas the folding stocks look pretty pretty decent. So yeah. But then like on my jackal, the the folding brace I have on that might as well just be a stock. It's almost the exact same thing.
SPEAKER_08:If there was still a$200 stamp for that, I would never do it. It's just not worth it to me, right? There's no reason to. Uh, but now that it's free, you just have to file the paperwork. Why not?
SPEAKER_09:No, you can't bring them across the state borders, right?
SPEAKER_08:You can, you just have to notify the ATF that you're taking it across borders. Okay. Yeah. Suppressors too. Any anything that's on the NFA. Yeah, if you're leaving the state with it, you have to notify the ATF that you're doing it.
unknown:Right.
SPEAKER_08:So, like when I went up to Louisville, I didn't bring my suppressor. Right. Right. I just brought the rifle and that was it. Because anytime I travel more than you know, three or four hours from the house, I always bring you know a rifle and about six mags with me, and either a bandolier or a bag or a you know, some type of chest rig or something. Because if something happens, I'm I'm we're getting home. So I always gotta make sure even when we go to the beach, it's four hours away. Bring it just in case you never know. Because hopefully I know I'll never need it, but one day I might. Are they? I was always I was advised. I thought it was just the SBRs. I thought it was suppressors, too. I was advised wrong. Are we sure? I believe you, but I'm gonna double check.
SPEAKER_09:I was just saying, you believe them, but not enough to bring one across the state border.
SPEAKER_08:Look, I got four kids at home. I can't be going to jail.
SPEAKER_09:Local Alabama man goes out in a blaze of glory.
SPEAKER_08:If you move, but so if I just if I'm just going to like a training course at another state, I don't have to notify, but if I move, I have to notify. Is that what you're saying, Freeman? You can put anything in a trust. You can put a hot dog in a trust.
SPEAKER_09:You should do that just for fun.
SPEAKER_08:You can do it, you can pass down a hot dog to your great-grandchildren if you wanted to, you know, however you want to do it. I only have two suppressors in it. I haven't been doing trusts, my last suppressor, mostly because the approvals are going through so quickly that if something happens to me, my wife or my you know, if my son's old enough, he can just do it, he can take it to a local gun store, have them hold it, do a form, and let them hold it till they do a form four. It's super quick. The only reason we were doing trust before is because it was taking 18 months to get through a form four. And I want that, you know, if you something happened to you and you you wanted your kids or your family to have your your NFA items, you don't want to be locked up somewhere forever until they get that form four through. That's good enough. Is that nationwide, Freeman, or is that state dependent?
SPEAKER_09:I suppose the spread the suppressors they probably did for hunting.
SPEAKER_08:Maybe I saw Virginia is trying to enact is trying to implement a law that suppressors have a$500 tax on them in in the state of Virginia only. Unbelievable. We'll see if that goes. It might. I mean, yeah, they've lost all momentum in in Virginia.
SPEAKER_09:Is it a child, I hear? Yeah, well, my oldest is very sad about a fish that died. That he ate? Like in fish ticks? No, no, no, a bedfish. Oh, a bedfish. Yes. He's a very uh what do they say these days? Very sensitive young man. Got it.
SPEAKER_08:Got it. That'll serve him well when he's older and he gets married. Right now, not so much. He'll get made fun of right now. Yeah. Virginia does not look good for Virginia right now. All right. Do we have anything else in the notes I wanted to go over? What if we take Greenland? Oh, call it. That one's just funny. We can play that one. CQ. Oh, I thought we did that. Okay. Yeah, we did the CQBS game. That's a new guy I found, and I like a lot of his videos.
SPEAKER_09:Oh, I've I saw this. I saw this reel. This reel is amazing. I'll I'll give you that. Yeah, we gotta play this one.
SPEAKER_08:So, this is what's gonna happen if we uh we end up taking Greenland. It'll be a celebration for the ages.
SPEAKER_09:I'll be honest, I'm gonna party too. Not be I mean, if only because it sticks it to the to the Europeans, man.
SPEAKER_08:I bet could you imagine if we took Greenland and all of a sudden the dude from Outdoor Boys goes up there to do all the hunting and fishing? He should do like a Greenland tour. I don't think there's nothing up there besides seals. I don't think there's anything up there earlier today about a a guy in the Arctic, him and his they they purposely got themselves frozen into an iceberg in a ship. Yes, I've read go with the ship. Did you read that? Yeah, I think they survived only off like seal blubber, seal and polar bear, and ended up being super healthy, yeah. And like they had no vitamin, they had no issue with scurvy, right? Because meat, when you don't cook the crap out of it, has vitamin C in it.
SPEAKER_09:Also, liver, liver contains a lot of vitamin C.
SPEAKER_08:Well, supposedly polar bear liver has so much vitamin C in it that you had you can only eat like 30 grams at a time.
SPEAKER_09:Really?
SPEAKER_08:Because it'll kill you. Otherwise, it's like too much vitamin C. All right, turn it sounds on first.
SPEAKER_09:Let's zoom in on oh wait, no, I think the whole thing. Oh wait, hold on. No, stop. No, no, no, you guys didn't see that. That was good.
SPEAKER_08:All the best on Instagram, all the best stuff. Y'all are missing out.
SPEAKER_09:The but it doesn't, we don't it wouldn't do anything. We're not monetized. We have freedom here as opposed to whatever we want. I will say the video intro we have lined up for tomorrow, thanks to Taffy, who is definitely not the person on screen, but is top notch to say the least. It's very much in the same theme as uh as the growth for me video from earlier. Nice. What's the topic for tomorrow night? Ant, so and of course, ant was texting me throughout this whole show, even though I wasn't responding to him at all, so I don't know why I was talking to him. So this is Ant's stream of consciousness text to me. He goes, might need to discuss the Protestant Civil War tomorrow. They're imploding over interracial marriage, lol. Joel Webbin has them all melting down. Plus, we'll bring up the topic of marriage as not being a vocation just to annoy everyone.
SPEAKER_08:Uh it's it's like lately I haven't been able to watch y'all live because you know, family stuff, you know, watching all this stuff. So I always listen to y'all the next day at the gym. I'll go to the gym and I'll listen to y'all. And I know people at the gym think I'm crazy. I'll be in there and I'll I'll be like, I'll be lifting, I'll just be laughing. I'm in there.
SPEAKER_09:Well, uh someone left a comment on our last video saying that your comment about predators. The five heads, oh yeah, yeah, made them almost choke and die.
SPEAKER_08:It's true though, man. Put some dreads on a five head and they click when they talk, be bad. Be real bad. Yeah, yeah. The uh the volume babylon telegram was y'all y'all talk too much, but uh, there's a couple of people y'all kind of kicked out, what or like they're not in there as much. And so now when I come back after a few hours of not being there, there's not like 500 messages anymore. And they're they're both women, obviously. But but usually like it's I'd come back like three or four hours later, and there's like 500 messages, and they're just talking to each other, like the whole time. Like, you use a private chat. Like, what are y'all doing? We don't want to hear your personal conversation. What are we doing here?
SPEAKER_09:Oh, I there's I don't uh I don't check on any telegram as much as I should, unfortunately.
SPEAKER_08:But the uh yeah, the volume telegram today about the vocation talk has been fun. I've been watching it, I'm not participating. Whatsoever.
SPEAKER_09:I'll be I'll be fair, I'll be honest. I could not find a single mention of marriage as a vocation prior to the Baltimore Catechism, which is only like the 1880s, and then Pius X mentions it in his catechism.
SPEAKER_08:Do you so you've got all the Tradovoxes, right? Yeah, do you do they give you an electronic copy so you can search it as well?
SPEAKER_09:So no, but they the same guys that did that have not gonna call it an AI, but uh an LLM that uses all the all the Tradavox volumes as their source material called Mastercatechism.com. So when I have a question, I'll just go there. And it's it's not chat GPT as an it won't write you an essay, but you can ask it a question and it will it uses the Tradovox series as an LLM to answer it, so and then it will give you citations from those same catechisms, you know, for as part of the answer.
SPEAKER_08:So what I've gathered from that conversation today, and went a little bit I've been able to read it, that the only acceptable vocations are religious and ordained life, uh right?
SPEAKER_09:It's it's hard.
SPEAKER_08:So, for instance, the you know, your average Nova Sordo person now tends to even think of being single as a vocation, and of course, that's nonsense because being single because once we started including marriage as a vacation, then all of a sudden, single life consecrated virginity, you know, up until you decide not to be a consecrated virgin anymore, right?
SPEAKER_09:Is now a vocation, and so but think being single outside of you know consecrated virginity or is not supposed to be it's not an acceptable final state in life, yeah. Doesn't mean someone who's single their whole life and not a consecrated virgin can't get to heaven or anything like that, but right, it's unnatural. Whereas marriage is the natural state in life for anyone who is not called to consecrated virginity or you know, uh, or the priesthood or or something of that nature. So, in that sense, marriage isn't a calling, it's you know, that in of being like a higher calling, it is simply just the default state in life for yeah, for humans.
SPEAKER_08:Because the you know, one other aspect is I've heard and I've read some of the saints talk about how the ordained life is also not a calling, like some people are called, yes, but most people should just choose obedience over their concupiscence, basically. You know, so it's not not that everyone should wait to hear that voice from God saying you should be a priest. No, it should be you should just you know discern, go through seminary and see if that's where you're fee feel like you're being most pulled, right? But but it should you shouldn't wait till you have this overwhelming sense of God's calling me to be a priest.
SPEAKER_09:I mean that's so now common just looking at more sources here. There is a catechism from 19 called called the called the converts catechism of catholic doctrine by Geyerman. It's one of the the chatterbox volumes. It says, How many kinds of divine vocations are there? And he says there are four kinds: one to the clerical state, two to the religious state, three to the life of virginity in the world in a consecrated sense, and then four to the married state. But then he does go on to say which is nobler, the married state or virginity, and he says virginity is nobler than the married state. Yeah, yeah, and scripture tells us that. Yeah, so it depends on like all things, it depends on your definition. If by vocation do you mean like an acceptable state in life, then yeah, marriage is a vocation, but do you mean something higher that you're called to? I would say in that case, then no, because marriage is just that natural state in life.
SPEAKER_08:So this came up in my daughter's fatherless answer, God for girls or whatever. And it talked about how the the single, you know, being single life is holy or can be holy, right? And how I explained it to her was my daughter was yes, until you're married, you are called to be holy, right? And then especially after you're married to help your husband become holy, right? So single life can be holy, but single life is not the the end, right? Right, you either join a convent or you get married, you either pray for more souls or you make more souls, like it's one or the other, you know.
SPEAKER_09:To be holy is just to give something to God, you know, it's to for so you can give your singleness, you know, to God in the in the sense of like you know, like you said, making it holy. But yeah, it's not it can't be the end game, right?
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, and I think I agree with this. I think the idea of calling mayor's singleness a vocation is to take away the specialness from the priesthood.
SPEAKER_09:It's it's the reason why we give kids trophies for everything. Yeah, make them feel special. Yep, that's really what it is. I agree, I a hundred percent agree with that. Hold on.
SPEAKER_08:Officer Tatum. I know when I look for breaking news, I go to Officer Tatum. Let's see what Watcher on the web's saying. Uh he's not saying on X, I can tell you that. Let's see. Let's see what Watcher's saying. He's usually on top of this stuff. He hasn't posted in an hour. Who knows? Strike around.
unknown:Let's look that up.
SPEAKER_08:That's from the eleventh, so that's not it. I don't see anything there. Let me see. Let's look on Telegram. Got a couple channels on there, I'll follow. Let's see what I can find there. I don't see anything.
SPEAKER_09:It will happen, I'm sure. If it hasn't. Let's see.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, I'm not saying anything. On any of these channels. Not that it hasn't happened, I'm just not saying it reported anywhere. Yeah, I'm not saying nothing. Officer Kate Tatum reminds me a lot of Bryson, whatever his name is.
SPEAKER_09:Brilliant. The Mormon Charlie Kirk successor, that guy. No, the black one. Oh, Bryson Gray, the uh the Judaizer.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, that guy. They remind me that they're like the same person. Like it has nothing to do with their skin tone. But like the way they approach problems and their faith and views are almost identical. Yeah, I don't doubt it. It's not that we won't like it. Like we didn't see any of the indicators before the strike of Maduro.
SPEAKER_09:Other, I mean, other than the the large buildup, but that could have been anything.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, but that was it. But there's been a buildup in Iran since Maduro. Yeah. Right. So like we're preparing for something just in case. But now that's it that's a situation, like, we should we even be involved in Iran. No, I don't think we should, whatsoever. I mean, like, if we can look at it. What? Like, I don't we can provide them with internet. And so they because that's the bit that's the first thing that the Iran regime has figured out. First thing they do is cut off the internet, second thing they do is they kill a bunch of people, right? And that's how they quell it every single time. Well, now a lot of Mossad agents are bringing in Starlink and giving it to Iranians. And so they can't really cut off the internet anymore. Well, they they did.
SPEAKER_09:They I forget what equipment they were using, but starting with that last night, they were able to cut off up to 90% of Starlink connections. Really? Yeah, it started off when they whatever tech they were using started, it was only getting about 30, but within a couple of hours, they were saying up to 90% of Starlink connections that in Iran have been terminated.
SPEAKER_08:That has to be having some type of effect on their own communications, though. Because you can't just blank it out and just target Starlink.
SPEAKER_09:I mean, they could just be using old-fashioned CB sort of bandwidth.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, but that's not gonna be as quick alert or reliable as their other means, right?
SPEAKER_09:So they might they might, I mean, it's it's their own country, they could all just be using wired communication.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, that is true.
SPEAKER_09:That is true.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, so we'll see how see how that goes. Uh do we have any we don't have any questions, do we?
SPEAKER_09:I don't think I saw any. Not that I really saw specific that we didn't answer. No, I didn't see anything either.
SPEAKER_08:So I'm trying to get ship regald on again. Yep. Just trying to, it's a it's a schedule issue. Trying to get him on. We're gonna talk about some things that we I wanted to go into last time, but we didn't really have time. But you know, if this stuff is still going on, we may still be talking about this, you know. And it's fun to have to talk to George about things other than chivalry. Yeah, he's got some very good opinions, we'll say. So we may have him on, just have his comments about some things as well sometime, but I'm gonna try and get him on again. I want to get Chris back on to do that basically home pharmacy that we should keep. I'm gonna start doing some Instagram reels or something, or something to put on YouTube as well, just short things. Might show y'all some of like some of my setups or some of the things, some of the things I use around the house or around the property, so y'all can start getting some ideas and some things that y'all can do. Or I may do like some quick little like 30-second classes on some stuff, just so y'all can get so y'all have to wait till Mondays all the time for some of the stuff that we talk about, or I may just put a quick 30-second opinion on a topic that's happening at the moment. But y'all just look out for the channel. If y'all join Telegram, subscribe the channel, share the channel. We need more subscriptions. Uh, we need more reach. We need send us to people that you know. Look, I don't need you hounding me every week to tell ask what this monthly competition is. So I'm a I I know I said last time I'm gonna post it the next day. I will post it tomorrow. I've got time to do it tomorrow, so I'll do it tomorrow. And it's gonna be bushcraft related, so we'll not be shooting related right now. We'll probably get back into shooting around March when it starts getting warmer out, and it's a little bit more amenable to people who live north of the Mason Nixon line to get out and do some stuff. But right now, we're gonna focus on some other skills, and we may just do like what I'm thinking about for February is doing a everyone just show me your IFAC, and then we'll just randomly choose somebody who has the best one. We should we should get JD Evers on. We should. He'd be fun to have on. Yeah, he would be. We should you should reach out to him, see if he wants to come on with us.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, give me a good excuse to ask him who didn't just buy from him if my knives are almost done.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, nag him a little bit. Yes, tell him his wife's not allowed to come on, though.
SPEAKER_09:No, of course not.
SPEAKER_08:No, no, no, e-girls.
SPEAKER_09:Though it is incredible how much she upsets the Protestants.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, oh I follow her. We talk like we conversate all the time. Um but I'm not gonna go down the crash route. That's not gonna happen.
SPEAKER_09:Taffy, Taffy, if you're listening, can I show those show those ones you made? The ones that you think are too mean. But who? But Taffy made them.
SPEAKER_07:About who? Crash.
SPEAKER_08:Oh, show them the stream to do it. No one will see it.
SPEAKER_09:That's a good point.
SPEAKER_08:We literally have like a hundred people to watch us.
SPEAKER_09:I have the Hellion, but I don't have the Tavor, and I'm not gonna buy an Israeli gun, so I don't know. Okay, hold on, let me find I don't like space guns. Well, and I I mean bull pups are bullpups, right? Like it's a space gun, yeah. Oh, Chris has seen them, he won't mind. Okay, that's fine. Let's see. Takes a second to switch between all these apps for screen sharing.
SPEAKER_08:See, we don't mind playing these things on here. One, because our reach is very small, two, we're not monetized, so we're not worried about losing it.
SPEAKER_12:Who's that?
SPEAKER_09:War on beauty, war on beauty. I think I think it's be supposed to be War on Beauty, Lila Rose, and and Religious Hippie. I think the War on Beauty one is very clear. The others, yeah.
SPEAKER_08:I only know War on Beauty because of Majorian. Stupid freaking that's the only reason I even know about her. And I never see her, her stuff never pops up in my in my feeds.
SPEAKER_07:I never I don't know what who's the new who's the new e-girl? Who's it who's the new e-girl? Religious hippies needed someone else to make fun of her. Not Sarah Stock, she's blonde. Didn't Religious Hippie get off like an X?
SPEAKER_08:I think she did. She did, yeah. Yeah, but she didn't show on YouTube.
SPEAKER_09:Just ask Chris, he'll know who. No, a different new e-girl that just got engaged, brother. You're gonna have to be a little bit more specific.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, I don't know who that is. No clue. We should have Chris on and interview him, and we should both wear wigs. Make him feel at home.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, I don't know if I ever want that out on the web. Because we don't want to be the new Steven Crowder where suddenly we're dressing in drag for the smallest things. Olivia Krolzick.
SPEAKER_08:Well, is that the um that's the girl that likes to like she dresses like in modest attire all the time? Once again, uh, you're gonna have to be more specific. I don't know. Like, I only know her through people like ragging on her on X.
SPEAKER_09:Krolzik, that's not her, she had a different last name, didn't she? No, I think that's it. Okay, he's right. We should just wear beanies. Wear beanies. Right, wear a beanie.
SPEAKER_08:I'll just end up looking like Seth Rogan and really get like you get really bad neon signs in the back.
SPEAKER_09:Dragon blackface.
SPEAKER_08:We have a blackface video with you and blackface.
SPEAKER_09:What you don't remember that? Let me see if I still have it. No, I don't remember that off the top of my head. You don't? No. Let's see. Where is it? I don't like the fact that you are saving videos of me.
SPEAKER_08:I didn't I mean it's a video that we had. We had Taffy make. You don't remember this? It's on my phone. I don't think it's on this laptop.
SPEAKER_09:Taffy doesn't remember it apparently.
SPEAKER_08:Yes, he does.
SPEAKER_07:Hold on, hold on. Let's see. Uh here.
SPEAKER_09:Let's the nice part about only 20 people watching right now is I don't mind wasting 20 people's time trying to wait for this. Yeah, okay, especially because I know those 20 people also want to wait for this. I found it. I founted to be frank, it goes around in whiteface.
SPEAKER_07:There we go.
SPEAKER_09:Oh no. This isn't blackface. That dude's black. Okay, but I don't I'm not black in that video. It's really too vet. For the re just so you know, if you go to media assets on the right, yeah, and go down to the list of videos, it is under retro.
SPEAKER_08:Still not I'm just gonna upload a bunch of videos of this. Can I separate these to uh just us?
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, if you go up top, see how it says avoiding Babylon and it has a down arrow there? Yeah, you can create a new brand. Oh, yeah. We probably should do that anyways, actually. Yeah, and rosaries. I'll create that now. Okay, that's created.
SPEAKER_07:What did you do? You did it, not me. I didn't do crap. You did it when you did new brand.
SPEAKER_09:Whoa, I don't like don't like that. Don't like that. Everyone likes it though, apparently. Oh well, I have to get we'll get some stuff back in there, but yeah, gunfire, yeah. Oh man, this might forget what video is this. No, never mind, never mind. Oh the SIG sponsorship one is so funny, but we can't do that alive anymore. No, we can't.
SPEAKER_08:Um that's what got us kicked off that time. That one is what it did it. No, was it? Uh, I think it was. I think we got kicked off YouTube because that was at the beginning. Then everybody was complaining about us getting kicked off. I'm surprised they let us do our intro video with me shooting.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, I think their little auto sensors can't utilize what you're doing. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_08:Good. It's a one way to get past our AI overlords. Yeah. YouTube when we show a gun. Yeah, we'll just start loading our brand on here. Yeah, you should. That was gonna be fun. Every Instagram reel I'm gonna go fine. That's funny. I'm just gonna put it on there. Oh boy.
SPEAKER_09:You know, it says we don't have to worry about copyright. You and Daffy should come up with uh just a banger of an intro or something using that uh Pine Tree Riot song. I would do it for the main channel, but then we could never monetize the videos.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, we could probably figure something out. I guess I got the software, I can just rip the sound, the song from it, and put some of a video to it. Yeah, do some of an AI video.
SPEAKER_09:You're gonna have to do some education here.
SPEAKER_08:Isn't that from uh Miami Vice, isn't it? Yeah, that one was from Miami Vice. I thought didn't y'all have an edit on your channel though, of the one from the guys who did the British guys that do like the slapstick. What was that movie? He one of the guys was a Mission Impossible, the other guy's like a fat cop in it. Let me see if I can find it. And it like it's all if you look up a gif called shame on your phone, you'll see.
SPEAKER_09:Oh, yeah, yeah. Simon Pegan or something else. No, I've never been. And we should put your face on that guy.
SPEAKER_07:Oh, damn it. Okay.
SPEAKER_08:That'd be awesome.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, we'll have to find it, so we'd have to do that. Getting notifications from the telegram right now. Why? What are you guys up to?
SPEAKER_08:Oh, I got something too. Oh, it's it's uh oh, is it the comment I made about the concentration camps?
SPEAKER_07:No, someone's asking for prayers for their kid.
SPEAKER_08:That's not the one I got tagged in. What one did you get tagged in? I got tagged in by not Ethan, who said, Hey, don't you dare say anyone has ever suffered besides Jews. That's anti-Semitism.
SPEAKER_09:Oh. Who's kidsick? Well, I'm not gonna say the name on here in case he doesn't want to, but if someone is asking prayers for their daughter who has developed ties, hi, if they can't figure out why. You're seeing her primary tomorrow and her dermatologist on Wednesday. So please pray for their daughter. Which one's that in? The main, the main avoiding Babylon one.
SPEAKER_08:Did Chris get on it already? Tell them to give him some Benadryl. No, but I you think they would, right? Not everybody knows that. Not everybody knows that. I don't see it. So, in case y'all don't know, if you ever have hives, the first thing you need to take is about 50 milligrams of Benadryl. That's two two tablets, right? Yeah, two tablets, take two tablets. Because if a if an EMS shows up, the first thing you're gonna do is they're gonna give you an Epi shot, an epi pen, and 500 or 50 milligrams of Benadryl, usually IV, because it's faster acting. That's the first thing we do, and because that's gonna help you more than anything, is the Benadryl. The epi's really just get your heart racing, so your blood's pumping faster to get that benadry around faster like the antihistamines and the benadryl. So um, if that ever happens, that's the first thing you should do. And now, if you are at a point where you can't swallow, you're gonna have to drink it or something. You you have to get it down.
SPEAKER_09:Can you snort Benadryl?
SPEAKER_07:Well, you take it prophylactically. I will repeat, can you snort Benadryl?
SPEAKER_08:I don't know. I mean, I don't know. But I know you can take it. I've had to give it prophylactically to a child once. You gotta you gotta get it in them however you can.
SPEAKER_09:I yeah, yeah, you gotta do what you gotta do. Yeah. But yeah. All right, I think we're gonna cut it. Hold on. I gotta Google if you can snort Benadryl.
SPEAKER_08:Go to WebMD. It's can I snoop Benadryl? Snort Benadryl, and it'll say, Yes, you have cancer.
SPEAKER_09:While it is physically possible to snort Benadryl, you absolutely should not written by the veterans of the TIP pods, physical damage to uh nasal passion. Yeah, who cares? Risk of overdose. Well, that's only if you take 500 milligrams. Instead of an enjoyable high, I'm not trying to get high. No, I used to want the hops to go away. Oh, hey, buddy. Yeah, can you say hi to everyone?
SPEAKER_10:Hi, everyone. My name's Matty.
SPEAKER_09:Everyone knows you, man. Hey, buddy.
SPEAKER_10:On a couple of videos I've been on the video. Oh, weird. It looks like in I'm going in the direction that I'm not going. I'm going no, not that way, that way. But it looks like I'm going to do it.
SPEAKER_08:That's true. It's like you're doing a magic trick.
SPEAKER_10:Okay, weird. That's weird. If you jump, I'm going in the direction that I'm not going.
SPEAKER_08:Adrian, he can't hear you.
SPEAKER_10:What?
SPEAKER_09:Because I have headphones on.
SPEAKER_08:Oh, yeah, I can't see him over your Jew hair. Okay, okay, buddy.

SPEAKER_08:Yeah. Because it's lost in the in the headrest of your state. Dude, it's you can't tell. Your Jew hair covers the top. First off, first off, I'm not a Jew. You say that, and then you get that yarmulk in the mail from me. You're officially part of the club.
SPEAKER_09:I will be honest. I might go down to the bank for an interest-free loan with it. Might as well. Look, look, everyone, everyone says that Donald is the most pro-Zionist president in the world ever in the history. Really? He just limited interest to 10%.
SPEAKER_08:That is true. He's not a friend. Everybody knows that.
SPEAKER_09:Well, we only have 14 people watching this video. Literally 10. Literally 10. Not very many, why? Although most of the comments for the last 10 minutes have been about you.
SPEAKER_10:Hi, uh back to Yes, okay.
SPEAKER_09:Get out of here. Close the door. Okay, good.
SPEAKER_08:Gotta let kids. My kids are in bed. I have to make sure my kids go to bed early because they get up.

Well, they're the dates are nine days apart. Yeah. And then thankfully, my daughter is in May, and then my youngest is in August, so that spread it out a little. Yeah.
SPEAKER_08:We uh there's a big gap between February and May. Because my birthday's in May. And so there's nothing in between there for a few months. But like we're the same. Like my boys is in November, and then we have Christmas hits. Yeah. And we have three birthdays, and then for a while.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah. By that by the end of that last birthday in the row, you're like, okay, we're getting to be kind of poor with all these presents.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah. We get to the point, like, what can I make? Yeah. Like I'm tired of buying something. Midnight shifts in emergency mode has wrecked the sleeping schedule for let yeah. There is, man. I that's why I had to leave the fire service, man. It was wrecking me because I was up for 24 hours every three days. And it was just it was like I couldn't sleep well after that. My testosterone cratered. I was getting, I was, I was having depression. Like it was bad.
SPEAKER_09:Also, Adrian was wearing skinny jeans and he didn't know why. Yeah.
SPEAKER_08:I knew why.
SPEAKER_10:Daddy.
SPEAKER_08:Because I was in depression. Yeah, buddy. I needed that soft embrace around my legs.
SPEAKER_10:Daddy, can you um please not add out the part with me in it? And you try not to.
SPEAKER_09:You don't, but you should know Anthony and I enough right now to know we never edit anything out.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, like being up all night, we are not meant for that at all. Now, there are some people who can get by with very little sleep, and that's just a genetic thing. Like I had a friend in the Marines, he could sleep three hours and he was good. Dude, it was like me sleeping eight. He was good. And he could sleep on three hours, and there's some people just built like that. I was not. No, either. I'm just mad because he won't let me talk to him because he put Keyson headphones on. I was trying to talk to Maddie the whole time and he's like, Oh, I've got my headphones on.
SPEAKER_09:Hold on, fine, G. Hope, send him back in. Hold on, let's let's let Adrian talk. Speak, Adrian. Speak about what?
SPEAKER_07:Try and see if I'm on your speakers.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah. Why is it not working? You know what? I'm just gonna give him the headphones. Have him come in.
SPEAKER_08:Yep. But it does not mean you need to work in that work. You gotta do what's like I did, I gotta do what's best for you. That was not that was not inducive to a good family life.
SPEAKER_09:Good thing you have a ginormous head like me. Hey Maddie. Just talk to normal.
SPEAKER_08:Can you hear me?
SPEAKER_10:Yep.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah. How old are you? You're six?
SPEAKER_10:Yep.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah?
SPEAKER_10:Almost seven. Almost seven.
SPEAKER_08:What are you what are you asking for for your birthday?
SPEAKER_10:A Minecraft uh charged creeper cake because creepers are pretty explosive, but not even the size of regular dynamite and bedrock edition. So I'm uh how about charged creepers? Because they have an even bigger explosion. Regular cantique.
SPEAKER_08:Love it. Love it. You know what?
SPEAKER_09:I've got a little boy who's your weapon test ever.
SPEAKER_10:Sarbomba.
SPEAKER_08:Sarbomba? Is that your favorite?
SPEAKER_10:Yep, I like big explosions.
SPEAKER_08:I bet you do. You should ask your dad for some tannerite for your birthday.
SPEAKER_10:Was tannerite? I've heard about cobalt, which is explosive, probably, because it's tannerite.
SPEAKER_08:So tannerite is uh it's like a powder that's in a jar, right?
SPEAKER_10:Is it like gunpowder and very explosive energy?
SPEAKER_08:Kind of, yeah. And you should have a few.
SPEAKER_10:What is that explosive liquid code again?
SPEAKER_07:Nitroglycerine?
SPEAKER_10:Yeah. That's explosive like that too.
SPEAKER_09:So you should ask I don't know what Adrian's telling you. All I know is I see hope saying no, bad Adrian.
SPEAKER_08:You should ask your dad to get you some tamarite, and y'all should go outside.
SPEAKER_10:Yeah, I'm a when we when we watched a video on like Blastic High Speed. Yeah. Like, let's build a creeper like that and pop some gunpowder in there. But dad was like, Yes, I'ma no, how about we put tamarite in there? Because when you shoot it, it explodes a little bit less dangerous and explosive, but still very explosive.
SPEAKER_08:Exactly. That is the best Christmas, the best birthday present your dad can give you is some tannerite.
SPEAKER_10:Hey daddy, how about you get me some tannerite for my birthday?
SPEAKER_09:Our range doesn't allow it. We'd have to go find uh we'd have to go find a gravel pit on public land. There you go.
SPEAKER_10:Oh, go to flute and find a range that allows uh very explosive stuff.
SPEAKER_08:Exactly.
SPEAKER_10:You hear me, old people?
SPEAKER_09:Yes, everyone.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, we hear you, buddy. We hear you loud and clear. Loud and clear. You know, if you if you and your dad come down here.

SPEAKER_08:Welcome, buddy, welcome to the club.
SPEAKER_10:And it's currently nine o'clock right now.
SPEAKER_08:It is. It is. And it and you're gonna be dreaming of ten right now.
SPEAKER_10:My mom's uh um uh little comment. That's my mom's low comment. I told them to stop interrupting. I'm not interrupting, I'm just being part of the channel, avoiding blah blah.
SPEAKER_08:Oh it's okay, buddy. We got it. So I'm gonna expect to see a video of your dad shooting some tannerite and you just getting real excited about it.
SPEAKER_10:Yep.
SPEAKER_08:Yep.
SPEAKER_09:Why don't you everyone see that? Yes, say and subscribe.
SPEAKER_10:Like and subscribe, everyone. Otherwise, I'm going to do that next.
SPEAKER_09:You're welcome. Thank you for that. You're welcome. He does. He his favorite videos are the videos that walk you through all the different nuclear weapons and how big they are at megatons. Yeah. Yeah, that's one of his favorites.
SPEAKER_08:And then does he ever ask like why does the camera not get blown away by the pick by the video of the nuclear blast? Because nuclear weapons aren't real.
SPEAKER_09:I'm gonna let you and him sit down for that discussion one day on camera.
SPEAKER_08:What you should do though is get some tannerite and just put like a bag of sand on it. And when you shoot it, it just sand goes everywhere.
SPEAKER_09:It's not gonna hurt anything, it's just sand. Right. I'll just you know have to give him a bath for 45 minutes getting the sand out of there. Yeah, you'll be fine.
SPEAKER_08:That's exactly exactly what's gonna happen. 11 years from now, you're like, why is he graduating from combat engineer school? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, I remember. Oh man. We uh I did a training course with the combat engineers at Combat Assault Battalion in out of Okinawa. We were in Korea, and we were at Camp Rodriguez, which is kind of along the DMZ, and they were blowing up micklicks, right? Which is just like a mind-clearing explosive, basically, right? And I was out there and I was the NBC guy, and I was just kind of like tagging along, and they didn't tell me basically put me too close to the micklic, right? So when it went off, it blew me back like six feet onto my butt, and I skidded like a couple of times, right? That was my first experience with a very large explosion in person. So I remember that fondly. I bet I I like my both my butt cheeks were bruised like perfect circles for like two weeks. Yeah, it was a good time. It was a good time. All right, you need to get that boy to bed.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, can you tell he's a little silly tired at this point? He is, he is.
SPEAKER_08:I love it with my kids that way.
SPEAKER_09:Tonight is manifest.
SPEAKER_08:That's probably some of it is where it started. Man, I yeah. Yeah, we'll leave it at that. All right, guys, we're really going this time. Are are we really doing his Midwestern goodbye?
SPEAKER_09:But it's it's not a good thing.
