Speaker 5: who duped America in descending Aid, Selenski responded accusing Trump
Speaker 5: of living in a quote bubble of Russian disinf Is
Speaker 5: this any way to treat a supposed European ally? Has
Speaker 5: Trump forgotten? It was Russias Vladimir Putin who invaded Ukraine
Speaker 5: and has caused tens of thousands of civilian deaths, maybe more.
Speaker 5: Where is Trump's condemnation of Putin, whom he increasingly wants
Speaker 5: to cozy up to. The President says he and Putin
Speaker 5: may meet as early as next week. Why without an
Speaker 5: understanding in advance of what such a meeting will produce,
Speaker 5: it can only give Putin, who is a murderer and
Speaker 5: a real dictator, the credibility he seeks.
Speaker 6: A Wall Street.
Speaker 5: Journal article yesterday begins this way quote. President Trump has
Speaker 5: dramatically shifted the direction of US foreign policy in four
Speaker 5: short weeks, making the US a less reliable ally and
Speaker 5: retreating from global commitments in ways that fundamentally reshape America's
Speaker 5: relationship with the world. Some of that reshaping is long overdue,
Speaker 5: but not what the President is doing to Ukraine. I'm

Speaker 7: of thousands of people who decided to do something different
Speaker 7: with how they pay for health care and they join
Speaker 7: meta share.
Speaker 6: It's a good question.
Speaker 7: Metashare members are people who realize they have a choice.
Speaker 7: They're not stuck with a status quo that they don't like.
Speaker 7: And we know this from research of metashare members. They
Speaker 7: tend to have certain values in common, like their faith.
Speaker 7: They love that they're actually sharing with one another. They
Speaker 7: don't have to be part of a system that forces
Speaker 7: them to pay for things they don't support. They also
Speaker 7: value joining with other people who prioritize healthier lifestyles and
Speaker 7: encourage each other. They value customer service that's for them
Speaker 7: and their families, and they find that refreshing. And they're entrepreneurs,
Speaker 7: people who work in the gig economy, pastors, school teachers,
Speaker 7: business people who do clearly value saving money.
Speaker 8: That's a big part of this.
Speaker 7: At the five hundred dollars a month with meta share,
Speaker 7: you too can do some something different.
Speaker 6: You can start saving.

Speaker 6: We've got Jim Armstrong from an American Edge product. How
Speaker 6: you doing, sir, I'm doing well well. I gotta tell you.
Speaker 6: I've been listening to your stories on your commercials about
Speaker 6: American Edge and tell us a little bit of a
Speaker 6: story about you, your daughter. How you guys got started
Speaker 6: about a year or so. Tell us a little bit.
Speaker 6: First of all, what is American Edge.
Speaker 10: American Edge is just a small implement company. We specialize
Speaker 10: in skids, teer and tractor and excavator attachments. And then
Speaker 10: we also have a hose shop, which is a hydraulic fuel,
Speaker 10: air cylinders, things like that.
Speaker 6: Take care a little bit of everything. Big Ranching community.
Speaker 6: Where you are, yes, sir, yes, sir. You guys kind
Speaker 6: of go to now.
Speaker 8: We are getting there.
Speaker 10: We've got a lot of people that it used to
Speaker 10: have to drive to Ponka City or Tulsa that are
Speaker 10: happy that we're there to fulfill their hydraulic needs at
Speaker 10: least my goodness.
Speaker 6: Now, you spent a few years in the law enforcement
Speaker 6: before going into business. You keep telling everybody you're not
Speaker 6: a salesman.
Speaker 8: I am not tell us what you do.
Speaker 6: How do you actually get a product to the right person.
Speaker 10: Well, fortunately, I've been in the ranching business and ranching community.
Speaker 10: I've used a lot of this equipment. My friends are
Speaker 10: in the equipment business. They clear a lot of land
Speaker 10: around here in the community. So I've got a background
Speaker 10: of using and kind of knowing what equipment works for what,
Speaker 10: and I just try and solve what the problem of
Speaker 10: the customer is and match them with the proper equipment.
Speaker 8: Anybody can sell a piece.
Speaker 10: Of equipment, but it's really important that you get the
Speaker 10: piece of equipment that fits you. And that's how I
Speaker 10: do it. I want something that works all the time
Speaker 10: when I need it, and I know they do.
Speaker 6: That's a win win situation when you make a perfect
Speaker 6: fit there, I would hope. So, yeah, you bet, you,
Speaker 6: you bet. You've got demo days coming up.
Speaker 8: Tell us about that, Yes, a demo day.
Speaker 10: We're partnering with JK Trucks and More out of Barnstall,
Speaker 10: and one of our vendors Loftness is going to be
Speaker 10: on site. They're in Barnstall demonstrating all of their equipment.
Speaker 10: They specialize in the mulching world. So there's going to
Speaker 10: be multures for skid steers that they're going to demo,
Speaker 10: multures for tractors, there's going to be stump grinders, there's
Speaker 10: going to be some other equipment that they have that
Speaker 10: they're going to put on display. And then one of
Speaker 10: our vendors is Vibe Drive Technologies. It's our post driver
Speaker 10: and we're really proud of it.
Speaker 6: How does this work?
Speaker 8: It vibrates, So.
Speaker 10: Instead of traditionally pounding a post into the ground, this
Speaker 10: is a design that vibrates. It vibrates over five thousand
Speaker 10: times a minute. Oh, you can't even see it. All
Speaker 10: you see is the post moving down into the ground.
Speaker 10: And because of that, it can do any style of post.
Speaker 10: It's not going to damage the post like a pounder wood.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, he using all that kind of a force
Speaker 6: on it.
Speaker 8: Correct.
Speaker 10: It generates about thirteen five hundred pounds of centrifugal force
Speaker 10: and at five thousand vibrations a minute, that force just
Speaker 10: pushes that postman.
Speaker 6: Right down in Oh, I got to tell you a
Speaker 6: body can stop vibrating. You can just let that thing
Speaker 6: do that for you, because when you pounding it, postman,
Speaker 6: that's an all the job and you're gonna feel it.
Speaker 10: Yes, And the really cool thing about it is all
Speaker 10: that vibration is concealed in the actual driver, so it's
Speaker 10: not transferred to the machine. So like post pounder is
Speaker 10: all that vibration, all that pounding is transferred into your machine.
Speaker 10: And all those pins and bushings and stuff tend to
Speaker 10: wear out faster we do that.
Speaker 6: Well, this is gonna be cool. I just have to
Speaker 6: go there just to watch that happen.
Speaker 8: Yes, it's gonna be neat.
Speaker 10: I've got several styles of posts, from delineators to galvanized post,
Speaker 10: to fiberglass post, to steal post, a wood post. We're
Speaker 10: gonna be driving a lot of posts.
Speaker 6: Well, it's gonna be a pretty good little exercise there.
Speaker 6: It's Demo D. When's the Demo D coming up?
Speaker 10: It is March first, right, It starts at nine am
Speaker 10: and it's gonna run until we set four o'clock. But
Speaker 10: it's gonna run until people are done done. We are
Speaker 10: gonna we are gonna have lunch and provide hamburgers and
Speaker 10: hot dogs and sides and drinks. It's at one three
Speaker 10: zero two nine State Highway eleven and that is actually
Speaker 10: just south of UH eleven and ninety No. One three
Speaker 10: and eleven.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, I know, but I know exactly where you are.
Speaker 6: I can see that right now.
Speaker 8: Yep.
Speaker 6: Okay, So this is gonna be a good time. This
Speaker 6: is going to be coming up on March the first,
Speaker 6: one to four nine, and you want to get out there.
Speaker 6: You want to talk to you Jim. Now, Jim, you've
Speaker 6: got a partner in your business.
Speaker 8: I do, I do so. My daughter.
Speaker 10: Her job, unfortunately after own a little over ten years,
Speaker 10: was dissolved by the business and I was fortunate enough
Speaker 10: to be able to snag her. And she's working with
Speaker 10: me now and it's it's been a lot of fun.
Speaker 10: She's doing a lot of the hard work. She takes
Speaker 10: care of all the computers and all the the things
Speaker 10: like that, financing and uh so.
Speaker 8: She's actually the boss. I'm just the guy on the radio.
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, how humble is that? Folks? You got
Speaker 6: to meet Jim in person. This is American Edge. Now,
Speaker 6: where are you in Pasco? Where can we find you

Speaker 10: about a quarter mile back to the west.
Speaker 6: Okay, easy to find, very easy. So what was a
Speaker 6: what did you hesitate a little bit or is this
Speaker 6: something that you kind of always wanted to do when
Speaker 6: you started your business?
Speaker 10: Well, it actually was not something I was thinking about.
Speaker 10: It just kind of evolved rapidly. But it was a
Speaker 10: really good fit and it was something that I'm excited about.
Speaker 10: It's something I enjoy and I've been fortunate because of
Speaker 10: my background. One of my vendors is quick Attach. Quick
Speaker 10: Attach is a predominantly online skid steer attachment business. In
Speaker 10: rare occasions they do ask for vendors, and because of
Speaker 10: my relationship throughout the last fifteen years with quick Attach,
Speaker 10: they actually asked me to be a vendors, which was
Speaker 10: I was very happy with that.
Speaker 6: That's nice.
Speaker 10: Yes, we also support Southwest Distributors which allows us about
Speaker 10: and they're out of Clinton, Oklahoma. They have about twenty
Speaker 10: twenty five different vendors that we have access to.

Speaker 10: we can, we can really cover a large array of
Speaker 10: pieces of equipment.
Speaker 6: And you're right there in Pasco, right in the middle
Speaker 6: of everything. Yes, man alive. I'll tell you what You've
Speaker 6: just been kind of like a life aligned for several
Speaker 6: ranchers in the area. Like you said that that drive
Speaker 6: to Ponka is not a bad drive, but it takes
Speaker 6: time out of your day.
Speaker 10: Yes, when you're looking at two hours. Yeah, and that's
Speaker 10: hoping that you got the business in Ponca City has
Speaker 10: it to fix and it's not two weeks or three weeks.
Speaker 10: I'm stalking. When it comes to hydraulics, I have got
Speaker 10: the largest selection of couplers anywhere in the state. And
Speaker 10: I know that because I've had a couple of people
Speaker 10: get in touch with me, and I'm the only one
Speaker 10: that's had it that includes the big names in Tulsa.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 10: So I'm stalking a lot of things up to one inch.
Speaker 10: My machine doesn't go over one inch. So if it's
Speaker 10: a one inch line or smaller, I can.
Speaker 6: You got it nailed pretty much. Wow, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 6: Now do you have a Facebook page or a website
Speaker 6: or just what folks just to drive in and say
Speaker 6: hi to.
Speaker 8: No, we actually developed a web page.

Speaker 10: American Edge Products dot com. And then we also have
Speaker 10: a Facebook page which is American Edge Products and Instagram.

Speaker 10: so happy that we're doing this together. Our goal is
Speaker 10: farm shows are expensive and we end up having to
Speaker 10: go to multiple farm shows throughout the year, and so
Speaker 10: our idea is to make our own farm show.
Speaker 6: Why not?
Speaker 10: And if this is successful, and we think it's going
Speaker 10: to be, we're going to possibly have one in the
Speaker 10: fall as well and try and do you know, couple

Speaker 10: be there. They came on board with us, so we're looking.
Speaker 8: We're looking right.
Speaker 10: As far as the demo day goes, it looks like
Speaker 10: it's going to be a really solid day and the
Speaker 10: weather looks like it's going to cooperate, which is really good.
Speaker 6: It's going to be to be a far crise of this,
Speaker 6: so it'll be about fifty to sixty degrees warmer than this.
Speaker 10: Yes, we're looking at mid fifties with three mile an
Speaker 10: hour wind, so I'm the static it's going to feel
Speaker 10: like one hundred degrees.
