RED DAWN (1984)

It's 1159 at Radio Free America and this is Uncle Stan with music and the truth until dawn. Right now I've got a few words for some of our brothers and sisters in the occupied zone. The chair is against the wall. The chair is against the wall. John has a long mustache. John has a long mustache. It's 12 o'clock Americans, another day closer to victory. And for all of you out there on or behind the lines, this is your song. And now from the secret hidden bunker in the Rocky Mountains. It's time for MBTV on the radio and your host, Michael Bain. So here we are. I'm Michael Bain. This is MBTV on the radio. Coming to you as always from the secret hidden bunker in the Rocky Mountains in occupied Colorado and brought to you by Hunter's HD Gold, MTM case guard, all our other advertisers on Michael Bain.TV. And what a pickle we're in here. What a pickle. Of course, a lot of it is who you choose to believe recently. This morning, in fact, I am recording on Tuesday. And this morning, or a report came from the talk show host, Jesse Kelly, that I believe it's she, she has received a letter from an Aurora, Colorado police department member, anonymous letter saying the situation is substantially worse than people are letting on. The situation being how much of Aurora, Colorado was in the hands of the Venezuelan gangs. And that question seems to be up for grabs. Initially, Jared Polis, who again, I'm not a rabid Jared Polis foe. I don't like any of his politics, but on the whole, God knows he could be worse. God knows Hickenlooper was. But at first it was, he said, it was imagination of a council member. It's hard to look at the videos of guys showing up with, with ARs or guys busting indoors and say, you know, that's a hell of an imagination. I have a great imagination and I seldom get video. I mean, if I had a jack in the back of my head, we, we could rock and roll on that. Could we boys and girls? But, and then most recently, Governor Polis did come out and say, hey, we've got to have to do this and whatever resources they need and blah, blah, blah. Where are we? What is, what does this all mean? And what it means to me, we talked about this last week, and I wasn't going to talk about this week. I was going to talk guns, which ostensibly is what this podcast is about. And I, I do hit guns every so often. But this is the real deal, I think. And the reason we need to talk about it again is, as, as, you know, I was actually reading some, some training stuff over the weekend. And, and as I read it, I thought, this is, you know, this is great advice. This is brilliant advice. If it happens to be 1997. But the advice will get your ass killed in 2024. And, you know, not, you know, I'm not going to publish it. And I'm not going to criticize the people who gave it because they've been working on it a long time. They're legit very good trainers. However, training is a lagging indicator, something that I've talked about here a lot. And things are changing faster than training. So there's things I do indeed want to talk about. And I'd like to start out by saying, you know, last week I had lunch with John and Vicki Farnham. And of course, you know, John Farnham, you know, Vicki Farnham, they are two of the finest firearms trainers on earth. You'll for decades, they have been carrying the gospel, they've trained civilians, police, military, all over the world. They are brilliant. I love spending time with John because, because he is brilliant and he's well read. He is the Jeff Cooper school of classicism, you know, of well read, thoughtful. This is how that applies to that. That is how this applies to this. Much of my own thinking has been shaped by John over the years. The reason we have lunch in Fort Collins is there's a certain humor here in that John and I, John and Vicki and I have lived in the same town for a long time. And we've only seen each other on the road and we were together talking about the changes in arm citizen legal defense fund, which is moving toward a nonprofit state and John and I, Vicki and I will set on the board of directors along with some other classic people. But Vicki says, sit next to Vicki and Vicki goes, this is ridiculous Michael. We have so much to talk about. We have so much in common is so much that we do and we, and we endeavor it. So I got, I got an email from Vicki and she goes, Wednesday, we're going to have lunch in downtown Fort Collins. Boom. And there we, and we did. And it was great. It was great. It was just to sit and talk to John and Vicki kind of unencumbered with some massive agenda. But the thing I wanted to come to from it is we're talking about Colorado and we're talking about gangs. One of the things that, that I talked about last week, that you will never, to ever see in the media is that, that when a new big dog comes in, not all the little dogs get on board, right? I think we all know that. I think it makes perfectly good sense to every person that when, when a new big dog comes in. What happens? Okay. The previous big dogs have to do one of two things, actually one of three things. The first is bend a knee when there's a new king, when a new king takes over, when the nights of, of, you know, the red queen comes to come in chopping off heads and everything and they win. Only three things left to you. The first is bend a knee and maybe meet the new king, same as the old king. But the fact is, if you are running crime in, in the front range of Colorado, the minute a new big dog takes over, you either bend a knee, run or die. That's what you got. Those are the flavors, right? because the big dog can't allow you to stay and you saw that here. I mean, this is, Denver has always been a gang town. I'm just jumping to Denver. I know I'm jumping around a little here, but I will pull it all together. Denver has always been a gang town. Cartel town zedus, I believe, where the cartel did sure that, that ran drugs, women, baba, in, in Denver. That was split with some of the Hispanic gangs. I believe primarily the Latin kings and also a surprising growth in Asian gangs there. So Denver always was a very much of a gang community. And not to speak ill of the Denver police, but, you know, I'll speak ill of them, okay? It always seemed like, because, you know, because I shot practical shooting and, and three guns spent a lot of time shooting in, in, you know, 20 years in, in the Denver area. And I talked to the cops and they'd be like, yeah, of course it's the gangs, dude. Of course it's the gangs. And then the next week, you know, the Denver police bosses would announce a crackdown on high-end madams. I am pretty sure that you are highly unlikely to die when you're busting a high-end madam. That's not the problem. Everybody knows what the problem was. So, so you've got a town with an established gang culture in it. And then you saw, like if you go back a few years ago, you saw, from El Salvador, MS-13. And MS-13 made huge strides in, in, within the gang community. Because honestly, it was more violent than the indigenous gangs. I mean, none of these guys were in West Side Story, all right? None of them were in West Side Story. But, you know, the, the South American gang, the Central American gangs, you know, pretty specifically MS-13, brought a level of violence that was breathtaking. And you saw them quickly step into command and control. And now you have essentially the Venice Wayland, the Venice Wayland prison gangs. The Trindi Aragua, TDA for short. And they move in too. And then there's, again, there's got to be some deal, right? The MS-13 set, which I forget the exact name of the gang, but it, it has, you know, the 13 in its name is, is actually Suit Ties, too. But there has to be an accommodation. And as we talked about last week, it's bad to think of these gangs as like, you know, we think gang. And we have in our head an unorganized group of thugs, which in some cases that may be. But when we look at the major gangs, when we look at the big gangs, you know, the simple truth is they are transnational business groups. And they've come to the United States illegally as so many have. And they're now doing what it is that they do. Make sense, right? This is a surprise what's happening in Colorado and, you know, is it as bad as they say? Is it going to get? I don't know. I don't know. And I'll tell you what. I'm not going to Aurora to find out. I shot with a lot of guys who are Aurora PD. We talked about that last week and the sheriff's department. And a lot of those guys are like, holy crap, Aurora is stunningly dangerous. And you know, that's where I got the, it's a gang town, which gangs they, you know. But anyway, so when the big, new big dogs come in, some kind of accommodation has to be made. Bend a knee, divide up the territory or run or die. Quite simple. Okay. So sitting around talking to Vicki and John and the conversation did indeed turn fairly serious and, you know, they told me that there's been a couple of incidences now in the town closest to where I live, Fort Collins shooting incidents that the police would say were gang related. Does that mean a high school gang shot it out with some of this, you know, that took us, or does it mean that some of those that ran, ran here? I mean, when you have a city like Denver, a large blue city like Denver, and it is a sanctuary city. Denver has been run by morons for as long as I've only lived in Colorado, I don't know, 25 years, 30 years. And the entire time I've lived here, Denver has been run by morons. It's a sanctuary city. If the big headlines last year earlier, all the way into this year was, oh my God, oh my God, there are so many illegal immigrants, illegals, somebody wrote me a note, you should be nicer. No. The illegals flooding into Denver, it's one of those cities that they flood into that the main, the current moron whose name does escape me at this point. Whenever I fly, he's got a little message when you're taking the, the little railroad out to your gate. Hey, I'm doing this is the biggest city and we've got a ball team and whoa, it's those. Some other moronic crap, but, but basically he's like, okay, we're going to have to cut other city services to citizens, to citizens, to people who pay taxes so we can do more for the illegals. That's the mindset of Denver. The other mindset is like, Hey, yeah, there's a lot of gangs here. It got you. There's a lot of violence. There's a lot of inter-gang violence. There's a lot of like territorial violence, but why don't we go bust a madam? No one's been shot by a hooker lately. There's a couple of different ways to, to deal with gangs in a city that we've seen. And there's what I like to think of as the Chicago model and the Chicago model is give into them. Oh, yeah, you think the Chicago politicians aren't tied into the gangs that own Chicago? I got a bridge in Brooklyn. Whoa, it's for sale. But that's one way to do it where I was in Chicago and there was an article in one of the papers talking about how a guy running for whatever was city council or whatever. It was great. He had his first meeting with the 13th Street gangster Crips who do so much for the neighborhood. But I made that up, gang name, by the way. You know, there is an inter cooperation between the people in the corrupt Chicago government and the gangs. That way they divvy up the money and everyone's happy, happy, joy, joy. You know, the other way to do it is the way Denver does it, which is like, what gangs? I don't see any. How can that be? No, I don't know. It's ridiculous, that's just like the governor saying, you know, nothing is happening in Aurora. Somebody's imagination. It's somebody's imagination with an AR and a sledgehammer. That's a very vivid imagination, but you ignore it and I can tell you this. If you ignore it, it actually doesn't go away. You know that. You know it doesn't go away sooner or later. You're going to have to do something or you're going to find yourself with your entire middle class and upper class, the tax base, howl it out, what you've seen in New York City. New York City's a lost cause, right? And so the people who pay the taxes in New York City are going to Florida are going to Texas are bailing because what's the point? It's not going to be salvage. I don't think New York City is going to be salvaged. Possibly Trump gets elected and things get really better, but boy, think about how far you have to go to get back to where you were before the Dems decided to throw it all in the trash cans. Hang on a second, I'll be right back. You're at on target faster, the RIA 5.0, all new, all American, see more at ArmsCore.com. Welcome back to MBTV on the radio. MTM believes that a great day at the range or out hunting starts with having the right equipment. In 1968, family owned MTM case guard dedicated itself to fulfilling those needs, from shooting tables to ammo storage, MTM has you covered. Okay. So what do it all mean? What do it all mean? Well, I think in the micro sense, it means I would keep my butt out of Denver. I have lost nothing in Denver, nothing. And there's a couple of good restaurants and culturally there's some nice things in Denver, but it's not worth the risk. It's like saying, I love the barbecue in St. Louis, but I don't want to die for a decent rib, right? That's just kind of the truth of it. So, and we pretty much practice what we preach there is that I can't even remember the last time I sweetie and I were in Denver, other than driving through on the interstate, because why would I spend time in a place that's a sanctuary city that's bursting with illegals, bursting with illegals? And where the administration is like, yeah, we need to take services away from the people that give us the money and give it to people who basically don't do anything but take. And part of what happens there is that with the illegals and their tents and their cities and they're all at crap, we get the gangs, you know, and in the case of Venezuela, you know, this is an active part on the Venezuela government. Let's transfer one of the most dangerous prison gangs on earth to the United States. Let them sort it out. It's actually brilliant if you think about it, but in any case, in any case, that's what I mean. Remember when we talk about last week and we talk about pretty continue pretty regularly, that situational awareness is more that is more than just looking through the little loop on your front door to see if there's a philosopher after on the port or in our case, if there's a mountain lion on the porch, it's knowing what's going on all around you. You know, last year when the mayor was saying, well, we're going to have to do some cutting of services, maybe some cutting of parks, cutting of some police programs because of the beloved illegals who we hope and pray will move here, cheat in the election and help us have a progressive socialist republic forever and ever and ever, right? Because that's what they mean. We all know that at this point. And secondly, this is not a situation that's happened yet, but it's a situation we've talked about here before. In addition to illegal immigrants sucking up resource, we also have a stunning number of young military age men from all over the world, from China, from the Middle East, various gay women from Iran and funny, some of them, you know, there was a picture away about three or four months ago. I thought it was great. It showed like five or six or young, young illegals and they were so happy to be in the land of free. They had full military kit. The only thing you weren't doing is holding guns. Huh, how does that work? How does that work? We have an army in the United States, an illegal army in the United States, an army that answers to someone, I don't know, I don't know, someone's going to call shots. So in addition to the gangs, which essentially a built a foundation for new members to come in, they want to bring their new members. They want to bring their members in from, from central, from South America, from, from Asia. Why would you not, you know, to build a groundwork? We also have an army in place and we don't know who commands the army. Now, they may never get a command. It all may be paranoia, you know, but what's that line? It's an old line. I forget, gambler who was on television a lot back in the 50s, early 60s, said someday the lion will lie down with the lamb, but that's not the way to bed. It comes back to that situation that I talked about in trail safe long, so long ago, you know, when I was, I was out in Joshua tree, you know, out in the desert, California. My sweetie and I were doing some rock climbing out there. And as we were leaving for the evening, we, we, we saw an elderly couple, I got a little small camper, they got a little bit of stove set up, they're boiling water, they're cooking it at one of the designated camping spots. And directly, I go 180 degrees across from them are maybe three, four, five cars full of L.A. bangers. The cars are jumping up and down on their suspension, there's boombox, everybody's passing around liquor. There's lots of shouting, grab ass, a lot of that. And my question was looking at that as just, you know, still life, you could paint that as sort of like a, uh, still life at the diner, whatever, you know, um, that, that, okay. Does the elderly couple have the right to be at that campsite overnight? Yeah, yeah, sure. Of course they have the right, but once again, you come back to like silly cliches, you know, Michael Day, who died defending his right away, his right to right, his right was right and his will was strong, but he's just as dead as if he'd been wrong. So do they have a right to be there? Yeah. Next question, can a car load of gang bangers, gang members from L.A. celebrating out in the desert, swilling liquor, doing this, having giant bonfires at, can that situation go south on you quick? And the answer of course is yes. And so you're saying, well, Michael, you're saying run away. I mean, yes, sometimes yeah, sure, sure. You know, here's, here's, you know, what it comes down to me is like, would I risk my sweetie's life to prove that point? I have a right to be here. And the answer to me is no, I wouldn't, I wouldn't, but we have to sort of think in those kind of terms at this point, ironically, we're the underdogs. We, the people who live here, the people who work, the people who make money, the people who make taxes, nobody likes us, especially if we're wrong color. Quick side light. Didn't you love Kamala Harris having that fake southern accent? I'm from the south. That offense crap out of me. And we hangs on for 64 more days. What the hell, jeez Christ. Anyway, we're the underdogs. And we're the ones that have to have to create our own strategies to get us through what we're facing. And again, until the November elections, we don't know what we're facing, right? We really don't know. We hope, but you know, as many people have said, hope is rarely a viable strategy. This is where I can honestly say I, I, I really miss my friend, William April, Dr. William April, who passed. And more, more importantly than just my friend, William was a brilliant analyst on these situations. I learned more about gang culture from William than anybody else I were. I first worked with William, got it one of Tom Givens conferences back in the dawn of time when he was still doing them in Memphis at the handball court. And we know we work, I've worked with William. He became a regular on the best defense. You saw him a lot on the best defense, just brilliant work. You also saw him on a best defense survival, the internet series we did during the COVID pandemic. And again, we did landmark work. The difference between us and everybody else is who were right. And no, but William understood that our training wasn't keeping pace with what's happening in the world and that our training might not be attached to the world as it says. You know, cause it did, as William said about the ocean, you may not believe in the ocean. You may not think that the ocean is going to get you. You may not think that. But if somebody picks you up and throws you in, it doesn't matter what you believe you're going to get wet. So the first thing I'm going to do is I want to send you to the William April tribute page, personal defense network. It was put together by Rob Pinkis. Rob and I both talked to, talked to William extensively there in those last days. And more than anything else, William wanted his work, his landmark work to go on. And I so wish he was here now because the situation has changed so much. You know, since since 2020, it's changed quantum. And I really miss his analytical mind. But I want you to go to the William, William April tribute page, again, put together by the personal defense network and Rob Pinkis. And there's a whole section on violent criminal actors. It's just sit down interview with William April, one video after the other. And I think there's nine or 12 videos interviewed by Pinkis. And I would like for you to go through those. Go through. I mean, you don't have to do the whole thing all at once, but you know, honestly, I think you may very well may end up doing it going through the whole thing at once. These are the things that we all talked about, that William talked about and studied. And one of the key points that William brought out was that we tend to look at really violent criminal actors and heaven knows the gangs, especially the Mexican, the South American, the Central American gangs fall into this. We look at our perspective of the world and we look at them and we say, good Lord, they're crazy. And William's point always was that they're not crazy. You know, that in fact, their alternate worldview is completely consistent with them. And it may have ethics and morals and all those things. They're not crazy. They're different than us. And because we're intersecting with their world, if we can't understand that, we're going to get stepped on like freaking bugs. That's just the truth of it. One of the other things at the end that William sums up is, is we need more robust responses to some of some of these issues. And we need a more robust response set that, you know, it's not it's always my joke on that. And, you know, William and I laughed about it as I spent been a decade in a dojo and, you know, studying martial arts and, you know, the end it's like, okay, you're in a bar and a guy says your mother wears army boots. Do you do a spinning back kick or a punch, you know, and the response is you leave the bar and people say, well, no, you know all this stuff, right? You can do a spinning back kick, but the whole point is we need to tailor our responses to a universe, this changing, to a cultural situation in the United States, this changing. And we need to think much more practically now that what you said, one of the things I said, what should we be doing? Watch those videos, but what we should be doing is again, is running our own training through a current filter. Do I think this will work? One of the things we talked about before is when we talk about verbal escalation, and I said, do you think the verbal escalation that you were taught, which is something I taught years ago, out of some of the same core material, do you think that would work in Mexico City? No, no, different culture. Do you think you would work in downtown Johannesburg? I can guarantee you it won't. Our culture, culture changes. And so we have all these responses that we have taught ourselves. This is how we respond to X. However, it's a different place. You have like two guys, three guys who are intent on robbing you, nickel and dime robbers, you know, they're, you know, I say nickel and dime like, no, you can end up dead still. But the fact is, they have a certain mindset that's not that far different than yours. If you were being robbed by a high end criminal gang from outside the country, their mindset is so different than yours, they might as actually well have come from Mars. And what you were taught may well be the thing that gets you killed. Introducing the all new Taurus G3C with key new features and enhanced customization potential for shooters and everyday carry practitioners of all ages and abilities. To learn more, talk to your local dealer today. But William wanted people to know what William taught in his classes and talked about. I was lucky enough to take one of his classes, I think a worst case class with Greg Ellifredts and William team teaching, great, incredible class. Is he wanted you to understand that, that people act within the confines of their culture. That people act consistently with their values in the culture. You may not agree to the culture. You may think, wow, that's awful. But here's the point that William was making. If you're going to exist in the real world and that you are, unfortunately, at some point maybe going to cross a violent criminal actor, you're going to cross somebody from a South American or from a Central American gang. It's important for you to understand the confines in that culture. Because if you step over the line, it doesn't matter what your culture is. And remember when we talking about, when we got stuck like Kamala Harris, yeah, we stood a Southern folk, we picking that cotton, I sits on the porch with my granddaddy. We drink moonshine. Oh, yeah. Okay. Anyway, keep in mind that the culture of the Venezuelan gang TDA, Trandy Harrigo, however, so was developed in one of the most vicious prison systems in the world. Same with MS 13, Aryan Nation, Liam. I mean, culture that has developed in a hellish atmosphere. And as you may expect, that culture is quick, violent, bleak and final. If you have to interface with that culture, it doesn't matter. Here's, here's, let's, let's go back to that, that analogy. It doesn't actually matter. It's like the ocean analogy, you may be a pacifist. You may be a person who doesn't believe in violence. You may be a person who doesn't carry a gun. You may be a person who really thinks that illegal immigrants come to America for a better life instead of a loot and burn the place. You may think all those things. It doesn't matter when you get thrown in the ocean, you're going to get wet. When you're thrown into a gang culture, you're likely going to get dead. Again, I think here in the United States, the culture we developed here, a constitutional republic that is under fire and from every direction, we place a high value on human life. Look how long it takes to execute someone who has taken other human lives who may have created just done reprehensible crimes. It may take 20 years for them to be sentenced and eventually executed because of there's a value we place on human life and it means a lot. That doesn't mean that the culture of aliens who we're going to find on Mars any day now have the same value of human life. Let's think, they're aliens in Mars. They might eat their kids. On a barbecue. Who knows? Who knows? Our values, and I'll be a little controversial here, here, our values are not the same as the values of Hamas and the Gaza Strip. None of us, I believe, would consider putting a baby in an oven to torture it to death. None of us would think about, wouldn't it be great to rape women to death? Doesn't it be great to cut off arms, to cut off heads to torture people to death? What do you think the culture of the South American, the Central American, the Mexican prisons is like? Which do you think it's closer to? The Constitution Republic of the United States, at least for the next 64 days, or Hamas, which do you think that culture more closely resembles? You might call it an honor culture, gone rabbit. I think we know that the different cultures, the concept of an honor culture, is roughly, the norms are that the importance of personal reputation, and the necessity of protecting and defending that reputation and its social image sounds pretty benign. Imagine then, usually the classic honor culture talked about is the South, the Civil, Pre-Civil War South. But what if that culture went rabbit? What if the penalty for dissing a gang member was death? Within a street gang, within a violent gang, that makes perfectly good sense, because your rep is everything. If someone from outside the culture, from outside the "family or group," disses you, it's on you to put them in the ground. It's on you to hurt them badly. And you say, "Well, but all I said was such and such, no, you don't know the rules." And that was the key thing that we, in April, talked about, "You don't know the rules. You don't know the rules." And yet, we keep having, look at this training and say, "Well, this worked great. And this, you know, if then, if then, if then, it's very much a training that not every body, but the lot comes out of martial arts. If he does a front kick, you follow with if, then, if then." And the problem with if then thinking is that it's not realistic. It's not realistic. It no longer works out of the dojo. But we, we, it's an easy way to approach things. It's an easy way to say, "Well, today I learned Dedede, and I learned this, and I learned shooting with your attention, and I learned blah, blah, blah, blah." Sit down and filter that through what we're seeing in the United States with 64 days to the election. Does it make sense? If you think you can verbally deescalate MS-13, or I am, you're nuts, nuts. The longer you're, the longer you stay there, the more likely you are to have feces rain down on your head. A lot of other things as well, you know, what you need to do is, there's, there's a much higher avoidance level here. You know, because if, if, if you're there, and you don't know the rules, and I can tell you, I don't know the rules, the rules are complicated, Bishop. And to me, I can say this, the rules are insane. But Dr. April, Dr. William April would say, "No, they're not. They're perfectly consistent within their worldview, perfectly consistent. That is everything, reputation of a high level gang leader is everything." If you damage that, if you even accidentally damage that, poke, whoop, slip up, the feces are going to fall from the heavens on you. And it changes the way you kind of look at your response. There's things that, that, that, you know, I, I taught, I mean, you know, there's things that, that, that I've learned and taught over the years I've been involved in this, that now I don't think work very well. I don't think work very well. In some cases, it's a question of what's the, what's the least likely thing to get me killed, accepting, you know, or accounting for the fact that I may be in the soup worse than I ever thought I was. It's one of the reasons that I, I, you know, at best defense, sea-clander, Janice, Pinkus, Marty Hayes, Andrew Brocke, everybody we had on the show said, "Avoid, why?" Because it's the safest path. They said, "Well, I can't avoid, I dadda, dadda, dadda, I dadda, dadda, no, no." You slipped up. And it happens to all of us. Sometimes, you know, I've told you stories myself. You end up in a bad place. And yes, we understand John Farnham's rules. Don't go stupid places and do stupid things with stupid people. But sometimes we do. And in those periods of time, we overlap with an alien culture, an alien culture that thinks nothing about killing you, your family, your children, your baby, your dog, your hamster, your gerbil. There's nothing of that. It is no different than, I'll steal this from Stephen King since he's such a liberal asshole. There was a line out of the stand where he talked about the bad guy, kind of the devil incarnate, and he made women feel sick inside. And this has included women who had sex for money just as casually as someone might eat it. Open their refrigerator, eat a ham sandwich. When you've stepped into someone else's world, your rules stop meaning anything. Your if then ceases to function. Honestly, you know, there are situations I can think of where I'm going to go to the gun. The gun's going to come out fast. Go to a low ready somehow because I realize I'm now in serious soup and I don't want to play fast draw crap. Once in my life, I have played fast draw crap with somebody who wanted to kill me. I won. I didn't even have to pull the trigger. My gun came into play before his gun came into play. He immediately gave up because he understood that under my rules, I was getting ready to shoot him in the face. But when we step into the Martian atmosphere to Mars, the surface of Mars, only Martian rules count. I think what I would like to say suggests for an exercise, please, number one, go through every single one of those violent criminal actor videos that Rob Pink has put together. Watch them. Maybe get a chance to let your family watch them, your significant other, watch them because you'll learn so much. Second point, second point, start thinking through your automatic response. The things John Hearne, a great master instructor, John Hearne refers to as automaticity. The things you automatically do, huh, should you? Look at that. Start thinking, okay, what are my X's and Y's? If X, then Y. What do I have in my head on that? Next question, why do I have that in my head? Third question, is that going to work on Mars? Thanks to think about things you really need to start researching, I'm sorry, you know, I wish the world hadn't become such a scary, freaking place. But it is, and we, you know, all of us who work in this industry more than anything else want you guys to benefit from it, okay? Anyway, I am Michael Bay. This is MBTV on the radio, our 20th year for our award-winning podcast, brought to you this week by Hunter's HD Gold and MTM case guard. And you can find us all the links here, anything I talk about here, especially to those William April videos on michaelbain.tv. You can also find a trigger video there. This week, I'm looking at a little bit at Model 92 Winchester's, also looking at the Ed Brown Fueled Spring Fuel Prodigy, which I kind of mentioned briefly, but take a look at it. I started shooting it a couple of days ago, like, wow, cool. In any case, I thought I'd go out of here with something simple and folksy. This is a hilltop trio, you know, group, and their version of the Sloop John B, which I actually like. So anyway, yes, yes, the chairs against the wall, John has a long mustache. I'm Michael Bain. Until next week, you stay safe out there. We come on the Sloop John B. I grant the father and me, around NASA town, we did a roll. Drinking all night, drinking all night, got into a fire, got into a fire, well, I feel so break up, I want to go home, I want to go home, I want to go home. I start the John B. since, see how the mainsail set, come for the captain assure, let me go, home, let me go, let me go home, I want to go, I want to go home, I want to go home, I want to go home, well, I feel so break up, I want to go home, I want to go home. The first lady got drunk, broke up the people drunk, comfortable had to come and take him away. The sugar comes cold, the sugar comes cold, why don't you leave me alone, I feel so break up, I want to go home, I want to go home. I start the John B. since, see how the mainsail set, come for the captain assure, let me go, home, let me go, let me go home, I want to go home, I want to go home, I want to go home, I want to go home, well, don't you let me go home, well, I feel so break up, I want to go home, I want to go home. I want to go home, I want to go home, I want to go home, I want to go home. You [BLANK_AUDIO]
