Well, as we know, America has spoken. Just days ago, in the wake of the election, 2024, the year of our Lord, America has spoken. And I believe that we have seen some already tumultuous things going on in reaction to the outcomes of said election. And I think that. I think. I think some of it’s pretty funny, but also at the same time, pretty sad. And so today we’re going to just talk a little bit about how things went down and why they went down the way they went. Um, I have some observations. I also have been, in my mind, picking apart a little bit.
Um, the speech that President Biden gave, I believe it was on Thursday or something like that. Uh, and it was the first time he had spoke after the election. Uh, so today we’re going to talk a little bit about that. And I know people might be kind of burnt out on it, and they’ve heard it, and they’ve heard it, but this has been our first opportunity at the show to really talk publicly about what we think. And maybe it’s valuable to you, maybe it’s not. But I think that we had some interesting perspectives, and I am going to share those with you today.
So stick with us. Don’t go away. We start now. And hello, everybody. Welcome once again to another installment of the Richard Leonard Show. As always, I want to thank you. I want to thank you for being here. And week after week, I believe this is show 136, so 136 weeks in a row, we have been here with you every Sunday evening talking about veterans issues and other issues in the community and kind of about how we as a veteran population view things, view the world, view the things going on. And I think it’s important to talk about.
It’s important to note that we here at this show in particular, we don’t claim to speak for every veteran in America. We don’t claim to speak for anybody in particular other than ourselves. And so also understand that, you know, I am not an expert on all things military. I’m not an expert on policy. I’m not an expert on politics. I just. I have a view. I believe that sometimes I think a little more critically about things than some other folks, and that’s why I’m here. And I. And I believe the same thing for Jason. Jason. Jason Os has been a common guest on this show.
Him and I also do a show together over on YouTube. But, you know, I think. I think there’s. There’s a lot of perspectives to talk about. There’s. And there’s a lot of things going on in our country, especially through the election cycle, that just need conversation. These things need to be talked about. Perspectives need to be heard. And for anybody, for you, for me, it’s always good to hear different perspectives and different ideas to try to help you come up with your own perspective and your own idea. And so that’s kind of the main reason, in my opinion, why, why we do this show, other than it’s a lot of fun and I enjoy interacting with you, the audience when I get the opportunity.
But before we go further, excuse me, I know you won’t mind me telling you about how the show is made possible. And that is Cortez Wealth Management.

We don’t have to see another commercial.
We don’t have to see another rally. We don’t have to. If you watch the news, you don’t have to listen to another dissertation or you don’t have to listen to another person dissecting the words of any candidate. That’s over. What we are going to start seeing now is what’s going to come next. We’re going to see what we’re going to hear about what’s coming next. I believe that all these news people and these stations are going to start dissecting every single word that Donald Trump says. They’re going to start dissecting every single word that anybody that has anything to do with the White House.
They’re gonna, they’re gonna pick apart Everything they say. And they’re gonna try to make predictions on what’s gonna happen on both sides. And I think what you’re gonna hear is you’re gonna hear a lot of. A lot of positivity and a lot of building up on one side. And on the other side you’re gonna finger pointing and you’re going to hear a lot of excuses. I read just the other day, I read just the other day that there is some upheaval on the left and there’s some finger pointing and there was some talk that, you know, the Kamala Harris didn’t give the DNC enough resources to further the campaign and do a better job to get people out to vote.
Um, there’s some talk about how Kamala Harris is being ridiculed by her own party for picking Tim Walls because he’s not a. He’s not a. He’s not a very masculine man, which we all knew, mind you. I’d like to take this opportunity. I’d like to take this opportunity and I am not a person. I’m not a person that often likes to toot his own horn, if you will. But I’d like to take this opportunity to say, I told you. I told you. And so did a lot of other people. Sergeant Major Thomas Behrens told us. I told us.
Many others told us. But most importantly, now that we bring up Sergeant Major Behrens, he’s been telling us for a long time and it doesn’t seem like anybody really cared to listen to the words that he had to say. And why? I don’t know. But this is a man who has sat at the same table in meetings, probably for a meal. They’ve been in the same room for decision making things. They probably in the past have had personal, private conversations about whatever people talk about fishing. How’s the family? Shared a beer together after a duty day.
Who knows? Maybe they never. Maybe they never coincided at all other than being in the same unit, wearing the same uniform. But he told us, he told us a long time ago how big of a piece of that this guy is. And I’m not here to say that Tim Walls proved that he’s a piece of out on the campaign trail. But I think that Tim Wall certainly proved to all of us he’s got no business being vice president. Just like Kamala Harris proved us. She has no business being president. She couldn’t talk about any policies. She couldn’t talk about anything that she has done.
She couldn’t talk about anything that she wanted to do with any substance anyway. And neither could Tim Walz. What they got really good at is talking shit about Donald Trump. But see, I think that the American people saw through that. If I had to guess, there are voters that probably started out on that side. Well, first of all, there probably was a lot of voters that started on that side that voted for Joe Biden in a primary. And then when they kicked him out of his own race, his own presidential race, they booted him out of it.
Cause he had a horseshit debate and he, to be fair, he probably shouldn’t have ran anyway. But some are calling this a mutiny style dismissal from a, from a presidential candidacy. And maybe it was, I guess, I don’t know, maybe we’ll find out, maybe we won’t. But I believe that there was a lot of voters on that side and I, maybe when they ousted him, they lost some of those voters. And I guess I’m not saying that they went right to Trump. Maybe some of them decided, well, you know what, I’m not going to vote for anybody.
Maybe some of them voted for Kennedy if he was on their ballot. Maybe they did vote for Donald Trump, who knows? But I think that we saw throughout the whole campaign season, as time went by, the, the whole, the whole party seemingly just slowly unraveling. I mean, how does one run for president? And for, for days and days and days do not one press conference say not one word and do nothing? Maybe have a rally here and there and throw out some, some word soup, some word salad they call it. And I think here’s, here’s the other part.
I think that if we went back and looked, I think what we really would find, and I talked about this very exact thing on disgruntled over on YouTube this last week. I think that if we went back and looked, what we would find is that Kamala Harris’s campaign was, ran on very little issues. I mean, there wasn’t a, there wasn’t a whole lot of them. But the ones that she chose to outline the most were all based on emotion and based on feeling, which doesn’t make them any less important. It doesn’t make them stupid, it doesn’t make them idiotic or whatever anyone else has called them.
But they were issues that were based a lot on feeling and emotion. And I feel like they hit their voter base with a lot of fear. They hit their voter base with a lot of, well, you know, if we don’t win, you know, you may not, you may not be able to ever vote again if you’re a woman, you may not ever be able to choose whatever, whatever it is you want to do with your body. You may not be able to ever do that again. And what’s astounding to me is that this many people, there was a whole ton of people that bought into this.
And if you ever got into a conversation with any of these people or will in the, in the future and you ask them, show me anywhere. I want to see video footage of Donald Trump saying women will never be able to choose what they do with their body ever again. I didn’t see that. I didn’t see any reports of anybody saying that that were based on any fact that had any truth to them. So who did, who said it and where did it come from? Was it somebody’s interpretation of his stance? That’s what I think. But where were the fact checkers or were the fact checkers on this, on this type of thing? I believe that he never even said anything like that.
I believe what he said was we should leave it up to the states and the federal government should stay out of it. And if anybody cares to know what my stance on it is, my stance is that abortion shouldn’t be used for contraceptive. Other than that it’s a, it’s a decision left up to the parents of the would be child. And I have a whole lot of reasoning behind that which we could probably get into in a whole other show. And I’m okay with that. But I don’t want to get down that go trail because it’ll eat up our hour in no time.
And then, and then I think what we can say that we saw in Trump’s campaign is a lot of hard nosed. We’re going to get the f to work and we’re going to fix this thing. And it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter what your race, your color, your creed, who you lay next to in bed, who you love. It doesn’t, doesn’t who you, how you identify. None of that mattered because at the end of the day, the job of the, of the person sitting in the Oval Office is to preside over this country and everybody in it.
It doesn’t say preside over everyone in this country except for, it doesn’t say preside over everyone in this country except for black folks and Jews. Let’s leave the women out too. Let’s preside over everyone else but black folks, Jews and women. It doesn’t say that anywhere. And in my opinion, and I’ll full disclosure, I don’t watch a Lot of television. If my TV’s on, it’s streaming something or their sports on. But I didn’t hear, I didn’t hear anything that sounded defamatory. I didn’t hear anything that sounded racist. I didn’t hear anything that wasn’t inclusive. I heard a lot of, we’re just going to get it done, we’re going to fix it.
And I think that a lot of voters, a lot of them took that to heart and they attach onto that. And that is where, where I believe Donald Trump shines, because he can, he can, he can grab the voter by the fifies, by their feelings and not make it super emotional. It’s kind of like a, it sounds like a double negative, right? Like, but he can, he can enthrall these, these people at these rallies, explain to them the things that he’d like to do. And people can envision it, they can see it, they can feel it, they can smell it.
And I’ve never been to a Trump rally. I don’t know that I’d ever be interested in going. But you hear people talk about being there, and yet it’s electric and it’s an addicting feeling and they love it. And so if you’re one of these people that is stuck in the middle and you’re trying to decide which candidate it is, that is best going to suit your needs as a voter in this country, and you’re listening to both sides. There is, there is one side that exudes strength. There’s one side that, one side that exudes diplomacy and building and wealth and the American dream, this proverbial American dream that everyone talks about is gone and they want it back.
Excuse me. And the other side, when you hear them talk, people are scared. It’s my opinion that they tried to scare people away from Donald Trump into their camp. And I’ll tell you one other thing. It’s not too long from now that America is going to have its 250th birthday. 250 years old. We didn’t get here by being scared. We didn’t get here by doing any of that. Scared is not in our, in our repertoire. Good word. So I guess it’s a, it’s, it’s, it’s has me miffed that if people really stopped to take a step back and look at the last couple months of the, of these campaigns and then the outcome of this election, that they’d really be all that surprised.
The type of person, I think the type of person that we want sitting in the Oval Office, quite frankly, shouldn’t give a damn about anybody’s feelings, not right now. We are not in a place in this country to give a shit about anybody’s feelings. What we need in this country right now is somebody that’s going to stand up and say, knock it off. This is how we’re going to conduct business and then direct it. And if it doesn’t, if you don’t do, if you don’t fall into line with what the plan is to get this country back to where it was and make it prosperous and make, make sure that Americans got some walking around money in their pockets.
They can afford to buy a home. They can, they can buy a vehicle and afford to keep it running with gas and maintenance. They can go to the grocery store and not have to pick between milk and other essential things at the grocery store because it’s too expensive. That’s the kind of things that voters want to latch onto, or at least in my opinion, they should. Being scared, living scared is not the American way. We haven’t fought for all these, all these years, for almost 250 years. We haven’t fought for this long to be a great country, to be fucking scared.
No, we need leadership that is, that is pig headed. We need leadership that doesn’t care about anybody’s feelings because they have a mission. They have a mission to complete. Which is why I think, as I think, and I’m sure that there’s probably more veterans that don’t support Trump than do. But in my opinion, coming from a military background, that’s what I appreciate about Donald Trump. He’s mission focused. Does he probably need to shut his mouth sometimes? Yeah, maybe. Is there some things that probably could go unsaid? We don’t need to really talk about that. Yeah, maybe.
But there is absolutely zero doubt that when pushed up against the wall or backed into a corner as the leader of this country, when America is backed into a corner or pushed up against the wall or being bullied, there is not a doubt in my mind that that man is going to stand up and he’s going to, he’s gonna, he’s gonna stop it or we are gonna die trying because we don’t, we don’t, we don’t stand in the God dang corner. And I just don’t know if Kamala Harris has, has the fortitude to stand up to these people all over the world that mean to do us harm.
Partly because I don’t know that she has the guts. And according to some others that, that I that I listen to and talk to and read read from. There’s a chance that maybe she’s even in bed with them. Who knows? If you want to hear an interesting. If you want to hear an interesting perspective about Kamala Harris, do yourselves a favor and look up Judge Joe Brown’s interview. He was on somebody’s podcast talking about Kamala Harris. He’s apparently knew her way back in the day when he was a criminal defense attorney or something like that. He’s got a pretty interesting perspective and some interesting stories about her.
And, you know, again, I got. And I feel like I gotta say this every time, but. But this isn’t an ad for Trump. I think that this is just an ad for anybody. This is an ad for anybody who will sit in that seat in the Oval Office and open that can of whoop ass when and if necessary. And you hear a lot of people talk about, well, you know, that Donald Trump, he just cares about himself and he’s so narcissistic and he’s so nasty about the way he talks about people. And, you know, I just can’t deal with it.
Well, here we go again with feelings and emotions. But I challenge people to think about the long game. Think about what possibly, what possibly is a threat to us as a country in the coming years, and maybe not even a threat to us as a country in the next four years during his term. I believe that we as a country need to keep the security of Americans at the forefront of our initiatives for you, for me, for our families, most importantly for our kids, for our grandkids, and if you’re old enough, your great grandkids. You see, prosperity in America goes much beyond and much further than just ourselves.
I would hope, I would hope that there’s many of you out there that see the importance of leaving a positive legacy behind. At least I’m. I’m interested in that. I want to leave a legacy behind that my kids can be happy about, my grandkids, my great grandkids, as far on as. However far it needs to go. And I’m not talking about money, I’m not talking about fame, I’m not talking about any of those big ticket items, but just a legacy of strength and compassion, but most importantly, strength and hard work. And sometimes I don’t know that there’s many people in my age bracket or younger that really are thinking about that, and maybe not recently, because as polarized and divided as our country has been, people probably aren’t really worried about that all too much.
Probably just because they got to worry about how to eat and pay their bills and things like that. And I get it, I understand. But hopefully at some point in our lives we can focus on that, focus on the legacy that we’re going to leave behind, the work that we do to leave this place, leave this world, leave this country in our neighborhood and our families in a better position then we found it. I think that’s all we really can hope to do at the end of the day. And I believe that’s important. Anyway, we gotta take a break.

Hey folks, welcome back here to the next segment of the show.
Before we took a break, I was kind of, I was kind of on my soapbox again about the differences between Harris and Trump. And I had mentioned, you know, having a person that’ll sit in the chair in the Oval Office, that won’t bend a knee to bullying, that won’t put up with it, that will stand up for America and fight until the death if need be. And I believe that in the current state of things, with the choices that we had, we got the best man for that job. And as I was, as I was said, there is a lot of emotion and there’s a lot of feelings in, in, in, in between the two candidates from this last election and how people chose.
And although I don’t necessarily want to discount anybody’s feelings because, you know, I believe that you’re, you’re, you’re supposed to, you’re supposed to have feeling, you’re supposed to have emotion about things. But sometimes I believe that we, we fall short as human beings about where we put our efforts as it relates to how we feel and how our emotions guide us in some of these, in some of these situations. And I think that this is one of them because like I said, you hear a lot of people talking about how, you know, Donald Trump is just so, he’s so narcissistic and he talks too much, he says too much stuff and I just can’t take it and it pisses Me off and this and that and the other thing and.
Okay, all right. If that’s how you feel, that’s how you feel. All right, I hear you. But let me ask you this. If you are a person that feels that way, okay, but let me ask you. Do you think that our adversaries around the world give a shit about your feelings? Do you think that the caravans of illegal immigrants that are on their way to our southern border to try to Skip across before January 10th think they care about your feelings? Do you think that the people who intend to do us harm and they’re out there, do you think they care about your feelings? Furthermore, do any of these people that we just mentioned, do any of them care about what you think about abortion? Do any of them care about what you think about splitting up families of illegal immigrants when they break, when they’ve broken a law and they, and they’ve labeled themselves criminals by jumping across our border, think they care about any of that? Do you think that illegal immigrants coming across our border that are using social programs and funding to put money in their pockets and food in their bellies and roofs over their heads and clothes on their backs and the backs of their children, do you think they care if you have that? I believe the answer is no to all of those.
None of those people give a shit about how you feel about it. And so maybe in a different time in the past, or maybe hopefully in the future, we’re in a position where we can have way more serious talks about abortion and healthcare and things like that, because they are all important, all of those issues are important and they all need to be ironed out. My point is, at the current juncture we find ourselves in, do any of the people that are taking food out of our mouths, money out of our pockets, land out of, out of our coffers, or do any of those people or any of those institutions that are supporting these types of things, any of them care about your feelings or your emotions? And I believe the answer is no.
And so when you sit and watch a campaign for months and you have one person talking about all these, all these emotionally based issues which are still important, but then you have another candidate talking about all these fact based issues, things that are really happening and things that will really drag us down into the gutter as a country that will continue to bring us closer to being a third world country, that’s probably more important, isn’t it? Do you think that if our country is overrun by illegal immigrants and all of these tumultuous issues just go away because we want to worry about abortion and we got to worry about inflation and we want to worry, which is, like I said, all important, all these things.
Is any of that going to matter? Is any of that going to matter if we’re, if we keep plummeting towards being a third world country? My guess is no. And so where I think people lose sight is that this is a marathon, folks. This isn’t a sprint. We have a very dirty backyard and there’s a lot of broken things that need to be fixed. And it all takes time. The everyday American deserves better. The everyday American that gets their ass up out of bed every day. They get out of bed, they get dressed, they do their routine, whatever that is, packs a lunch, lets the dog out, gets the kids off to school, kisses their wife or their husband goodbye and goes and works anywhere from 8 to 16 hour day, maybe longer, depending on what you do.
And you go and you work your, you work your ass off. And then when your shift is over, when your, when your work day comes to an end and you’re on your way home and all you want to do is get home and spend time with your family and just be present there, maybe your kids are in sports, maybe you’re an empty nester and you just want to spend some time with your spouse, or maybe you go and play in the golf league or the pickleball league that seems to be popular nowadays. And you got all these things that you like to do and places you like to be.
And now all of a sudden you can’t do, can’t do any of that. You can’t do any of that because you got to work more maybe because in order to feed your family, you’re coming up short because milk and eggs and bread and cereal and meat and cheese and all, it’s all more expensive. And maybe you, maybe you’ve been considering repairing your home. There’s projects around your house that you wanna, you want to repair or do you want to get done? Maybe you’re looking to sell, try to do a couple updates to get a couple more dollars out of your house.
But now you can’t do that either because everything’s so damn expensive. You’re going to spend more money than you’d make by updating it. And so what is it all for? I think people, people were stopped in their tracks at some point in the last four years and they found themselves thinking, where the, is this American dream? Where’s this American dream that we’ve been, we’ve Been taught that’s been talked about our whole lives. You hear it in songs, you see it in movies, you hear politicians talk about it, you read it in books. What are they talking about? Because now, all of a sudden, I can’t do any of that.
And before you know it, some time has passed. Maybe you’re not able to do it anymore. Maybe you still are. But, see, we were caught up. We were caught up on issues that are important, but yet not right now, maybe, because issues that might be more important right now. Those issues could really take us down, take us down a dark path and possibly get us to a point of no return. And I guess part of the question is, what is that point? What does that look like? Where is the point of no return? Were we close to it? Are we still.
I think many people are also asking, can Donald Trump really do everything he said he’s gonna? And I think that remains yet to be seen. I think we had a good trial run, his first, his first four years in office. Like, he did some really good things. But let’s not forget the resilience of this guy. I mean, at every turn, he was in court, he was embarrassed, he was shot. They did everything to try to stop him. They tried to throw him in jail, they tried to kill him, they tried to take all of his money, they tried to take his homes, they tried to do everything to slow him down and stop him, and they couldn’t do it.
And now, now he’s back in the Oval Office. And now, now he’s got nothing to lose. He can’t run again. So we’ll see. We’ll see what happens. But I want to. I want to close out the thought by saying, if you are one of those people that you get up and go to work and you have your routine, you say goodbye to your family, you go and you do your job, you work hard and you come home, and in order to break up the monotony, you have activities, you do things with your kids, whatever it is.
Many Americans had to stop doing some of those things because it all got too expensive. They had to work, they had to go to work. Well, if you’re one of those people, I applaud you for your efforts. I applaud you for hanging in there, for sticking it out. I mean, after all, either you do that or you. Or you fall into the abyss. And some people do. So just understand that there are those of us out there that see you and understand that they’re going through the same thing. And people understand. So don’t feel like you’re alone because there’s a lot of Americans that are in the same spot.
So now all this happens, the election’s over, and a couple days later, a couple days later, good old Sleepy Joe changes out of his little teddy bear Jamas, puts down his Teddy Grahams and comes on out to the Rose Garden to give a speech. And I’ll say this, his speech in the Rose Garden, which was his first speech, the first public speech he gave since the election results were put out. And now and since we have known the outcome of the election, I feel like he actually spoke well. Like maybe he wasn’t on so much medication.
They may pump him up full of lewds and, you know, whatever else they. Whatever. Whatever they were giving him. But he actually sounded like. He sounded. Well, sounded like he was able to put ascendants together, what he was saying. Well, maybe it was somewhat bullshit here and there, but at least he was able to present it like a grownup. But he did say something. He said some things like, we’re leaving behind the strongest economy in the world. And, you know, he’s been saying that for quite some time. There are other. Some. There are also some other, you know, like economic elites are also saying the same thing.
And I haven’t done any digging on it, but I wonder whose bank account they’re looking at and I wonder who they’re talking to. And I wonder where they’re getting this information, because they’re not getting it from people like you and me. The economy hasn’t been great for me and my family. We struggle, too. My wife is a small business owner. Her business does pretty good. I do this show. I sell motorcycle parts, and I collect a retirement from the Department of Defense. I’m not destitute. I’m not rich by any means. So together we do. We do okay.
But we still have to. We still have to watch where our dollars go. We still have to plan our spending. Five years ago, six years ago, on a Wednesday, if we decided we wanted to jump on a plane and go to. Go to Bozeman, Montana, or go to Vegas for a couple days to, you know, play some games, see a show, have a really good dinner and come home on a Sunday afternoon and go to work on Monday, it was a lot easier to do something like that. We don’t. We can’t do that now. So I don’t know, when he says we’re leaving, leaving behind the economy, the strongest economy in the world, I don’t know if that’s the case.
The rest of the world is destitute, but maybe there’s something that we don’t know or I don’t know. He went on to say that the America of your dreams is calling for you to get back up and that setbacks are unavoidable, but giving up is unacceptable. A defeat does not mean we are defeated. And so I believe that there’s a couple ways you can, you can process that. You can take that. I think we seen, we’ve seen for the last few years this, this institution try to destroy Donald Trump. They’ve been trying to destroy him since he came down the escalator before his first term.
So setbacks are unavoidable, but giving up is unacceptable. A defeat does not mean we are defeated. Does this mean that they’re going to mess with him for four years so that he can’t get anything done or at least try to mess with him so. So he can’t get anything done? I think he’ll get things done. Will he get all of it done? I don’t know. I think it’s a tall order, but I think he’ll make a really good dent. What those things are, we have yet to get to see. I’m hoping that this first thing is the border.
And then this one, this one was great. You can’t love your country only when you win. And you can’t love your neighbors only when you agree. Which out of everything he said, this might be the one, the one snippet out of that whole speech that I agree with. I agree. Just because you lost doesn’t mean that we, that we write off America. To me, it doesn’t mean that I denounce my citizenship. I’m going to leave this place. Now. There are some that said they’re going to. And to those people, I say, let me know when you need help packing your truck, because if you don’t want to be here and all you’re going to do is cause problems, then I’m fully comfortable getting you the out of here and I’ll help you go and even buy you a parting gift.
I like to give crave cases of White Castle to people as parting gifts. They’re amazing. If you haven’t had White Castle and there’s one by you, you should check them out. They’re awesome. That’s not just like fat guy words here, but skinny guys like them, too. Joe Biden said he was putting out a call for unity. A call for unity now that they’ve lost? Well, if it’s true that we can’t write off our country when we lose, and we can’t love our neighbor only when we agree. Why would we have to call for unity? And I believe that we will forever be trying to unite this country unless we have some major cultural shifts going on in our schools, in our neighborhoods, around our water coolers, all that type of thing.
But now we’re calling for unity when. Why weren’t we calling for unity 1, 2, 3, 4 years ago? Some will say why we were. They were calling for unity. Well, I don’t know. I think that if we were to go back and we were to look at all the things going on in this country, we weren’t calling for unity. I think in the last several years, there’s a lot of things that have went down that the American people are still in the dark about. We’re in the dark about Epstein, we’re in the dark about Hunter Biden, we’re in the dark about Diddy.
We’re in the dark about a lot of stuff. And some of you might say, well, you know, those aren’t really political matters, or they’ve become political matters. They become political matters because places like the Department of Justice and the FBI and other law enforcement, three letter agencies, they hold on to all this stuff. And then when they sit in front of the powers that be, they’ll say, well, you know, I really can’t talk about that because it’s an active investigation, or I really can’t talk about that for privacy reasons. Privacy laws. Well, then, then why are you here, first of all? Second of all, then why.
Why get. Why get the whole country all riled up about some that you can’t talk about? I don’t know, man. I think that there is a lot of stuff that happens inside the four walls of this country that the institution keeps from. From us, the American people. And I think that they do a lot of thinking for us instead of just giving us the information. And in fact, I had a. I had a conversation with a gentleman just a few days ago. He likes to come into the Harley shop and sit down with a cup of coffee and we have these political conversations.
He is not a Donald Trump supporter, but what I appreciate about this guy is that we can at least have the conversation and he’s open to listening to another perspective. Now, I’ll say the other day, I want to say it was Wednesday that he came in. He just wanted to argue, it seemed, and be sarcastic about having a rapist or whatever. He called Trump in the White House. And then you know, we all. We all should have really used the bleach for Covid and, you know, things like that. It wasn’t really. It wasn’t really constructive or productive at all.
And I get it. Probably a little salty, I understand. But there’s also not a whole lot of information other than, like, the baseline stuff. There’s not a whole lot of places where we can go and dig deep into this stuff. We’re at the mercy of whoever holds the information. And hopefully, those are things that, under a new administration, will be a little more. There’ll be a little more clarity, we’ll be a little more keyed in on what’s happening. But at the end of the day, folks, we are. We are a country in turmoil. I believe it seems that brighter days are ahead, maybe, and I hope that that’s true.
But we got work to do. We, as American people, we did the hard part this last week by providing Donald Trump the votes to get into the White House. Now he’s got to do the work with his staff and his. And his administration to do the things he said he was going to do. Like he said, promises made, promises kept. So I hope that he means that, and I hope that he follows through with that. But it also takes us as the American people to support these initiatives. Not by going out and waving flags and screaming from the hilltops that we support these initiatives, but by participating.
If we disagree, we need to do it in a. In a diplomatic way. I think that we’ve learned that chaos and upheaval is not the way. It’s just gonna. It’s just gonna deter from the actual message. And so I hope. I hope that as a country, we can. We can learn to maybe not agree with our neighbors if, you know, I mean, if you don’t agree, don’t agree, but learn to agree to disagree. And our love for this country. If you are an American and you take being an American seriously, your love for this country should never be in question.
It should not take your candidate losing an election for you to question whether or not you love this country. If you don’t, you should go. You should go somewhere that you do love this country. In fact, I would be in support of our government giving you some money to leave. I would be more okay. I’d be more okay with a portion of my tax dollars going to you to get the hell out of here if you hate it here so much than to the Ukraine. So any money, any of my tax dollars that are earmarked to go to the Ukraine and Russia war.
I would like for those to be earmarked to give to people to get the out of America. If they hate it here so bad, I’d get down with that. I’ll give, I’ll give my portion of my tax dollars to that initiative for five years. I would agree. I’d agree to that. Anyway, folks, we’ve run out of time. We could probably go on for a lot longer. Please, please take care of yourselves. We will see you next week. Have an amazing end to your weekend. If you’re in the north, it’s supposed to be getting cold, so get out your mukluks and your wool jackets.
We’ll see you next week. Good night. There’s a whole bunch of stories that have to be dug into, rethought, reconsidered and in some cases completely discarded. As modern Americans, we’ve been spoon fed this dumbed down, cartoonish, simplified version of history. It’s all fake. It’s all. Everything that we have been taught is part of a self serving narrative written by the people who will say and do anything to keep us on a leash. Now this version of history, some big name corrupt families like the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds and their many associates are credited over and over and over again with propelling human development.
Throughout the late 18 and early 1900s, almost every major American city was burnt to the ground. What if we really are quite literally living atop the ashes of an advanced civilization that’s been hidden from us for our entire lives?
