- 0:21Welcome to Truckamouth, the podcast that gives you real
- 0:25insight into the trucking industry while providing a
- 0:28platform for your voice to be heard.

- 0:36passionate about the industry, this is the place to build
- 0:40confidence, share experiences, and stay informed.
- 0:45Join us as we tackle the challenges, celebrate the winds
- 0:50and drive forward. Hello, everybody.
- 1:05Hold on here for a minute here. Try to get this bigger on the
- 1:12screen, OK? Hello everybody.
- 1:18Welcome to the Underground Studio.
- 1:20I'm Trucker Mouth. We're back on the road.
- 1:24I'm having a little bit of technical difficulties again.
- 1:27This time I got my laptop set up differently than it did before
- 1:33OK, so he's trying to get a good camera angle make this bigger
- 1:41right there there we go now we're full screen all right OK
- 1:49so today we're talking about the show is see trucker mouth.
- 1:55Not only he not only talks about things in transportation, we
- 2:01talked about things in the military because we're on NBR
- 2:05radio. All right, So this, this is,
- 2:09this is a military thing. And it's, it's, it's, it's
- 2:11freedom isn't free, the high cost of war.
- 2:15And it's, it's, it's an astounding numbers that I've
- 2:21come up with that I've seen. So, all right, let's get going.
- 2:28So, so we know the, the, the, the biggest and most priceless
- 2:35thing of all is, is, is the lives lost, OK.
- 2:39And so far to date, 18 servicemen and women have have
- 2:47lost their lives in in the war where I ran 18 servicemen and
- 2:51women and over 600 wounded. So, you know, we're not getting
- 2:58out of this. We're not getting out of this
- 3:00without without a scrape bonus. It's far more better than far
- 3:04better than what the Iranians think.
- 3:07It's the thirty 3500 plus they lost lives.
- 3:11OK, so we get going here. So army, army searching for a
- 3:14service to air missile to destroy small drones.
- 3:20Because you know, everything today, now is, is done with
- 3:22drone warfare. Everything is done with drones
- 3:28and they need something to combat that.
- 3:32So the Army wants quickly develop an extended range quick
- 3:39response missile to defeat Group 2 and three small UAS, which is
- 3:44unarmed air systems threats. And, you know, like Yolo's
- 3:51rocket they're doing, they're developing a new a new one.
- 3:56And OK, everybody hear me? OK, all right.
- 4:03And they're developing a new a new LAWS rocket that, you know,
- 4:11intercept these drones. These drones are everywhere
- 4:14nowadays. They're doing everything.
- 4:17And so these missiles intercept drones at six kilometers.
- 4:26I'm bringing my notes right here. 6 kilometers, which is
- 4:293.75 miles approximately altitude and at a range of 16
- 4:35kilometers, which is 10 miles. So, you know, you can be 3,
- 4:41three and three, almost 4 miles in the air and, and, and, and,
- 4:45and, and 10 miles away. And that's what they're
- 4:54development now their ultimate goal is though, for a drone, it
- 4:59could be as high as 8 kilometers high, OK, which which is 5 miles
- 5:04and a range of up to more than 25 kilometers, which is 15.5
- 5:09miles. So they're, they want to get
- 5:11more range on these surface to air shoulder missiles that
- 5:16they're that they're developing. And because like I said, these
- 5:23drones are freaking everywhere, I got a little story about a
- 5:26drone here. But OK, the Army's looking for
- 5:30Ng, which is guided surface missile.
- 5:34We got a lot of Ackerman's in this stuff to be produced and
- 5:39integrated into existing Coyote launch systems and extended
- 5:44range rapid launch times. So these drones, these drones
- 5:50did you see on TV where that drone over in was it Ukraine was
- 5:58flying around that guy's truck and he, he was a fruit and
- 6:00vegetable salesman. He posed no threat to nobody.
- 6:05And it was chasing around his truck.
- 6:06And then he ran behind his truck and it ran behind it and then it
- 6:09did a kamikaze dive bomb and blew up.
- 6:12And they they said something about that was AIAI driven or
- 6:18something like that. But this guy was a fruit and
- 6:20vegetable salesman and it must have thought he was someone else
- 6:24or a threat or something. Luckily he didn't die.
- 6:28He was. He had scrap knowing him, he had
- 6:30strap knowing him. And they intercepted 25 drones
- 6:33during one of the World Cup playoff games.
- 6:39Intercepted 2525 drones. I don't know how they did it,
- 6:45shot him down or whatever it did to him, but they got him.
- 6:48And then it, it was the airspace was prohibited.
- 6:51You're not supposed to have any airspace over there.
- 6:53And here these guys were, you know, probably filming it to get
- 6:59something or whatever it has. And then I bought 2 drones,
- 7:06right? I bought 2 drones.
- 7:11They were about low 30s. Oh, $30.00 worth both of them
- 7:17and both of them got a screen. I mean had a camera on and
- 7:22stuff. And I I did fine with it when it
- 7:25was right in front of me going up and down side to side.
- 7:29So I walked down to the I walked down to the field down here by
- 7:32the Firehouse and I'm and I'm had my drone up in the air, had
- 7:35a way up in the air. It was a nice day out the top
- 7:38window and I had it way up. I guess as far as I kept pushing
- 7:41up as far as I could go. And then next thing you know it
- 7:44just flew away. So I followed it down to this
- 7:48tree line and I looked for it for a while man and and and
- 7:52nothing nothing at all. And so a bow and narrow.
- 7:59This is the second one bow and narrow and I had it out front up
- 8:03and down doing fine. I sent it down the street and
- 8:06see when you're when you have the drone in front of you, it's
- 8:09doing exactly what you say up is up, down is down.
- 8:11Well, you send it down that way and it gets turned.
- 8:14So when you push to come back out this way, it you could be
- 8:19sending it into a house or anywhere else.
- 8:21It's not facing you. And that ended up flying down
- 8:26there on top of a commercial building down here.
- 8:30And then that's it with that truck.
- 8:32Your mouth don't like that shit. He he out of here, jump tired of
- 8:40it, truck him out. Put the hammer down on it
- 8:43anyway, don't talk about my drone.
- 8:50Anyhow, Army's aiming for technology readiness for level
- 8:547, level 7 prototype testing that's beginning in in 2027.
- 9:03OK, contractors will need 50 missiles ready for operational
- 9:07assessment by the start of 2028. So they're getting this done.
- 9:12They want now level 7. That's pretty high, I believe.
- 9:18That's big stuff. I think.
- 9:21Wow. But, you know, getting getting
- 9:23back to the cost of everything. I mean, I'm going to get into
- 9:26the cost here, but just just to get just to give you an idea,
- 9:32you know, just to get a carrier going to get a carrier going out
- 9:36the sea. And everyone thinks, well, oh,
- 9:38well, these all these these naval personnel and these Army
- 9:41people, they're already getting paid.
- 9:43Yeah, but they're when they when they you got to get a carrier
- 9:47ready because when you come into port, all these, all the, all
- 9:50the squatters don't lead. They go back to their base,
- 9:53their air bases. And when you get ready to
- 9:56deploy, then they come upload. So you got to get all this
- 10:00personnel and all this equipment and all, all the technology,
- 10:04everything on board there. And now that takes, that takes
- 10:10equipment and all right, there's money and, you know, the fuel
- 10:13with the fuel carrier up and loaded up with full food and,
- 10:16and you pick up the majority of the aircraft, I believe, out at
- 10:19sea we did. And that's just, it's just a
- 10:23whole lot. Just just get the carrier going,
- 10:25you know, and to get these Army people out over there where
- 10:28they're going, these Marine Corps people, that costs a lot
- 10:30of money and the ammo's just ridiculously priced.
- 10:35And, and, but I'm going to get into some of the cost here.
- 10:38And like I said, by the way, the biggest, the biggest cost of all
- 10:41is the lives lost to war. So Army desires missiles costing
- 10:47less than $150,000 and bought purchases of 5000 missiles
- 10:53average that's $750 million for one order of missiles.
- 11:00So and now this this Iranian sea had Shaheed drone 136 drone
- 11:09costs $35,000 they're reporting. I don't think they're going to
- 11:15buy a missile that costs $150,000 for a one time shot to
- 11:22shoot down a $35,000 drone. That can't be that can't be the
- 11:29one they're talking about. That can't be the shoulder
- 11:32mounted surface to air $150,000. Now they're making them reusable
- 11:36now I believe because the pitcher had the guy here with on
- 11:40his shoulder and it had, you know, technology on it and stuff
- 11:44like that there. So I believe that's reusable.
- 11:48But at 150 grand for something like that for something's going
- 11:53to blow up. So, so now you got that's a
- 11:56bargain compared to the 4,000,004 for the Patriot
- 11:59missile, the parent, the Patriot air defense missile, OK cost
- 12:06$4,000,000 to make one of them. And there was over 1000 of them
- 12:16shot in the Iran during the Iranian war with the US.
- 12:23And that's a bill of $4 billion for bombs, $4 billion cost four
- 12:31$4,000,000 to build 1 E Patriot air defense missiles.
- 12:35And we use the $4 billion worth. Wow.
- 12:45The the military I'll just make make their own didn't, didn't
- 12:48they? They didn't do that back and
- 12:49they didn't they have bombs bomb and they enacted the war Act And
- 12:54and they shouldn't have to pay these contractors all this money
- 12:58to make these missiles to be doing ourselves.
- 13:03So what they want to do is develop, develop these lasers.
- 13:06Excuse me, develop these lasers in a drone.
- 13:14Lasers cause pennies to shoot per shot, but only on the other
- 13:21hand, the only bad thing about them is that they they're no
- 13:25good in bad weather. It disrupts the laser beam, it
- 13:30throws it off. I'm not sure exactly what
- 13:33weather, I guess stormy weather, real bad sandstorms and stuff
- 13:36like out there. It deflects the the laser and
- 13:39and let it no good. So that's what they're trying to
- 13:44do, which makes a lot of sense, makes a whole lot of sense to do
- 13:47that. It's been $150,000 for a one
- 13:50shot shoulder guided missile. The US has used up much of its
- 13:59stockpile OK of high accurate long range missiles during the
- 14:06five month war with Iran, raising concerns about raidness
- 14:09for future conflicts. We're we're bombing.
- 14:11We must he must be ready won't be bombing the hell out of him.
- 14:15We must be bombing the hell out of him.
- 14:18And I, I, I, I I really hope they get that straight
- 14:22straightened out and whatever else, because it's just, you
- 14:26know, like I reported on that. That's just bullshit that that
- 14:30one man could could, you know, screw up the whole world's
- 14:32economy just because he's an asshole, that's for sure.
- 14:42Yeah. I really hope they just go.
- 14:43I don't want to just go in there.
- 14:44And Iran must have more. Should they?
- 14:47They have them countries are there, have a they're not in
- 14:50NATO. They're in like their own NATO
- 14:52over there. So if one country, if you go in
- 14:55there and do something bad to the one country that's in that
- 14:58they're going to all do stuff and do put sanctions on us and
- 15:03mess everything up. That's got to be the reason why
- 15:07or we would have been done. Did that, went in there and
- 15:09killed him and just took it over.
- 15:13But I said, obviously there's there's more to it meets meets
- 15:15the eye. So these missiles principally,
- 15:22principally are among surfaces, surface to surface missiles
- 15:25known as Army Tactical missiles, ATACACC, there's a lot, like I
- 15:30said, a lot of Ackerman's principally our Army surface to
- 15:34surface missiles known as Army Tactical Missiles and Precision
- 15:37strike missiles, PSMS and the US has used up virtually all these
- 15:43weapons supposedly and most, a lot of these weapons cost over
- 15:48$1,000,000 to make. So put a price tag on that one.
- 15:54That's a lot of money already adding up.
- 15:57I mean, everything is adding up and, and, and now I guess making
- 16:00the missiles and all, I'm sure they're all made United States,
- 16:03you would hope because we're an ally, but that brings, you know,
- 16:08that brings jobs and all that. I mean, I guess you look at it
- 16:10like that to a point, I guess. And I'm sure all the all the
- 16:19technology in them is is US made because we can't trust in our
- 16:24country. They can sabotage it.
- 16:25And that way they know what's what's going on with it.
- 16:28They can they can detonate themselves.
- 16:33So the high cost of war, man, I'll tell you what it it ain't,
- 16:35it ain't free. It's just sure as heck it ain't
- 16:38free. All right, so here I'm going to.
- 16:55Why the heck I was going to take a break here?
- 17:03Let me see here. OK, go take a slight break.
- 17:10We come back. More on the high cost of war.
- 17:15Freedom isn't free. until they are won.
- 20:34The station where our veterans voices are heard.
- 20:38MBR talk. Hey, thanks for supporting our
- 20:41channel by watching and listening.
- 20:43Find us on the. Web at NB Radio.
- 20:45Dot, welcome back everybody. We're talking about the high
- 20:59cost of war. And like we said, deal, the
- 21:04highest casualty of all and most precious thing ever is is the is
- 21:08the people that lost their lives.
- 21:10Yep. OK.
- 21:13All right, we got we got green lights here.
- 21:14OK, So it looks like everybody can hear me.
- 21:20OK, check. Check.
- 21:21Yeah, there's three lights. OK.
- 21:22Yeah. So President Trump's, President
- 21:28Trump administration was asked, you know, how much, how much
- 21:34longer can we continue to strike Iran without throwing down
- 21:38stockpiles that wouldn't limit would limit our ability to
- 21:41respond to a crisis elsewhere? And you know, they're raising
- 21:46concerns here. Hey, look, man, we got a whole
- 21:47world to to fight off. And Trump's response was we have
- 21:52far more ammunitions that we need and far more than anyone in
- 21:56the world. So he's now he's not going to
- 22:02Trump's not going to Trump ain't going to, he's not going to set
- 22:14the alarm off for the whole world to be, you know, to be for
- 22:17the whole country to be scared that we ain't got enough bombs
- 22:20or long range missiles and things like that there.
- 22:23He's not going to do that. But it, it's reports you're
- 22:26saying that they, they put them down.
- 22:28Military leader military leaders warn Trump that stock positive
- 22:32munitions, including Patriot missile interceptors, are
- 22:36effective against ballistic missiles.
- 22:39So if somebody sends, you know, a ballistic missile our way to
- 22:48come over and blow up the United States, we need these patron
- 22:50missiles to intercept, to intercept the, the ballistic
- 22:53missiles. And some of them countries know
- 22:58that we don't have them. They, they, they, they might
- 23:01decide to try to sneaky notes do a sneak shot on this.
- 23:07He might try to do a sneaky shot on us man sucker punches like he
- 23:13did with the towers and he did well, I'm going to do my whole
- 23:17show on this. I was going to do broker
- 23:20liability and all, but that's going to have to be.
- 23:22I got so much information here and this is just really
- 23:24unraveling to me the cost of, of things just, you know, just to
- 23:28go to war and, and me and and I'll, I'll speak for myself.
- 23:32I I, I take it for granted that, you know, that we're going or,
- 23:36you know, like, oh, it's no big deal.
- 23:38Yeah, it is a big deal. It's, it's a high cost to us, a
- 23:42high cost of lives and everything else.
- 23:44And it just, it just isn't out there to the to everybody how
- 23:49much how much things cost the United States.
- 23:54So reports said that 65% of the Patriot interceptors have been
- 23:58expended and and numbers of the THAD, I'm pretty sure it's a
- 24:03Tomahawk air to air defense, something like that ballistic
- 24:07missile interceptors in the US stockpiles or or at least 30%
- 24:11lower than when they started the war.
- 24:14So they're getting down there. I mean, like we don't have we
- 24:17don't have nothing, but they're getting down there and they're
- 24:20going to be rebuilding them. There's a place right here,
- 24:24place right here in Round Rd. in Pennsylvania here.
- 24:27Raytheon, they do something with the, they do something with the
- 24:32Patriot, I believe one of the big missiles.
- 24:37They they do, I think they do technology with guidance
- 24:44systems. I'm not real sure something like
- 24:48that. But yeah, they, they were on TVA
- 24:50couple years ago during the Desert Storm and all that, or
- 24:53the Iranian or the Iraq war. They, they were on the news
- 25:00there. So US burned through little less
- 25:05than half of its Tomahawk cruise missiles.
- 25:09Jerry lost some ships, some ships.
- 25:13So it burned through little bit and half of them and they shot
- 25:17over 850 these Tomahawk missiles and Iran at $2,000,000 a piece
- 25:25to produce. That's a, that's a, that's a,
- 25:31that's a 1.7 dollar, $1.7 billion bill right there for 800
- 25:38Tomahawk missiles 8, 100 / 850 at $2,000,000.
- 25:45It's one $1.7 billion bill right there for these missiles.
- 25:52Oh God, Tomahawk missile. There's a Navy weapon launched
- 26:02from destroyers, cruisers and Subs and has long served as US
- 26:08sea services long range, striking heavily defeated,
- 26:14defended targets without risking pilots and, and, and without
- 26:20risking pilots and, and aircraft.
- 26:26And by the way, you you wouldn't you wouldn't believe the price
- 26:29tag on these aircraft. Phenomenal.
- 26:32I should, I should looked into that.
- 26:35Now it's I know it's a couple 100 million for one, for one
- 26:38like F18F18. Yeah.
- 26:45So they're really, really, really good down on that very
- 26:52expensive reward just just for the bombs of that not like I
- 26:54said that, let alone personnel lost, you know, just just to
- 26:59just to like bullets for these M sixteens, OK, five 5.56 they use
- 27:09OK 5.56 caliber. They're like a dollar a bullet.
- 27:13When you go to buy a ball case, civilian life and the civilian
- 27:16life here, you go to buy a bullet, you go to buy a box of
- 27:205.56 and they're about a dollar comes up to about a dollar a
- 27:25bullet. And now I'm sure you know, the,
- 27:29the Army, the military's purchased to them at, you know,
- 27:34a couple hard 1000 rounds at a time.
- 27:38So they're going to get a little cheaper than that.
- 27:40But you know, just the price of that.
- 27:42Then you take the price of the gun and M16, that's a couple
- 27:45$1000 right there. Times that by 100,000 soldiers.
- 27:51Jeez, there's a lot of man, a lot of money and weaponry, man.
- 27:54You go to war, go to war, man. And the war nowadays is more and
- 27:58more technically advanced than they've never been with the
- 28:01drones and all that. Yep, these have them high flying
- 28:08drones and help, you know, it helps a lot of a lot of these
- 28:11special forces when they were in the mountains of Afghanistan,
- 28:14they had them pinned down. They, they got drones in there
- 28:16and bombed them. Help them get out of there
- 28:20because they were they were over manned.
- 28:24You know, they were in their backyard where they had caves
- 28:27and everything else and all this.
- 28:28They were, you know, they were firing and and and they had them
- 28:30pinned down and they they luckily they had we haven't used
- 28:33drone technology where we call that in all that in and got them
- 28:38out of there. So there's definitely some
- 28:44there's definitely some, you know, good things with drones.
- 28:47Like I said, I bought them drones.
- 28:52I got no idea why this is looking like that.
- 29:05What's that up there like that? I don't know.
- 29:07But the screen's way up there. Let's not make it bigger.
- 29:16Let's see here. OK, There we go.
- 29:21I'll take away the assets. All right, OK, now we're a
- 29:26smaller screen, but I got my my panel over here.
- 29:32Yep, Yep, the high cost of the high cost of war man, and it
- 29:36definitely the definitely freedom isn't free and we take
- 29:41we take a lot of things for advantage and I do come on, I do
- 29:52too. I take it for advantage, but
- 29:57definitely isn't free and OK, there we go.
- 30:16All right, well, and I'm sorry for starting all this, but this
- 30:20is this is a lot of this is kind of hard to report on.
- 30:24Actually the last subject I had with the cross-border trucking
- 30:29that that was a little hard to report on.
- 30:30But this, these numbers I got were just astounding and I
- 30:35wanted to report on and let people know about it stream and.
- 30:57So why is it see this happened last week?
- 31:11Why is this coming up? I'm sorry for this.
- 31:21It should say play outro and exit, but it's not.
- 31:29Why ain't it saying that? Hold on here.
- 31:44I don't know, Coach say play outro and exit and I don't see
