D-Day's Legacy: The Cost of Freedom and the Tide of Ingratitude
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Today is June 9th.
We are just a few days removed from the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
Some people say that D-Day was the day in which we began life, assimilating to life as we know it.
It was the beginning of our fight to take out the Nazi regime, to take out Hitler and And to secure peace or what we thought would be peace around the world.
It's also a time to reflect on what the few veterans of D-Day who are left walking this earth have to say about it.
What they have to say about the lessons learned and why it's so important that we don't forget some of these things.
So today's discussion will be centered around D-Day, of course, if you haven't gathered.
And I had found an article by the Associated Press that was kind of interesting that gave a few different views about D-Day and the people that were there for the celebration, the 80th celebration of D-Day.
And maybe it's not appropriate to call it a celebration, but a remembrance.
So stick with us.
Don't go away.
We start now.
Hey everybody and welcome here to the next episode of The Richard Leonard Show.
I want to thank you as always for being here.
We try hard to find interesting content or content ideas to discuss on this show to keep you engaged and also to keep the discussion in the comments going.
And so for those of you who add And participate in the comments of the shows.
Thank you for that.
It really kind of helps to see what folks like, what they don't like.
But also I think that these conversations are important.
I don't ever claim to be an expert on any of this stuff.
Quite honestly, a lot of it is my opinion except for experts that may come on here or people who are a lot more in the know about whatever the topic may be.
But I think that the important part is that we have conversations.
As long as we know that we don't know everything.
It's also important though just to express your opinion and talk about things amongst other people in different circles to gain understanding.
And not have so much divisiveness and so much polarization in our communities.
And so that's the point of these conversations and these content ideas.
So anyway, thank you for participation and for coming back and participating in the show.
Before we get going on the discussion today, I'd like to, of course, take a minute or two to tell you about how the show is made possible.
And that is Mr.
Carlos Cortez and his staff over at Cortez Wealth Management.
Get on over to AmericaFirstRetirementPlan.com.
Every Tuesday and Thursday evening at 7 p.m.
Eastern Standard Time, there is a webinar that is put out for free for you to gather information about how to put together, plan, and execute a tax-free retirement plan.
Carlos Cortez and his staff want to help you with this, so sign up for the webinar.
Get through it, get all the information.
When and if you have any questions, comments or concerns about the information that was given to you, please feel free to reach out to Carlos and or his staff and let them help you get over these hurdles.
You owe it to yourself folks to make sure that when you decide to enjoy the fruits of your labors at the end of your days working, that you do it in peace and with as little tax liability as possible.
That would be nice.
And for some people, zero tax liability, if that is possible.
So, get on over to AmericaFirstRetirementPlan.com and check them out.
Okay.
Excuse me.
So, D-Day.
The 80th anniversary of D-Day was just this last Thursday.
There was a lot of people, a lot of officials from other countries that were involved in D-Day.
And I don't want to call it a celebration.
And maybe it should be called a celebration, but for me I think it should be more of a day of remembrance.
A lot of people died that day.
Not just soldiers, not just members of the military, but there was a lot of French civilians that were killed that day and the days to follow.
And so the sacrifice of so very many people, not just for D-Day, but the whole war, in my opinion, along with others that we'll hear about in the article that I found, agree.
That all these folks need to be remembered.
It was quite an intense day from what I understand.
And so I think that we should just get into it and get rolling.
I have my thoughts.
I've read through this thing a couple times.
And so I do have thoughts about some of the things that are outlined here.
And so let's get into it.
Let me find the right button to click here.
There we go.
Okay, so as I said before, this article came out a couple days ago.
It was put out by the Associated Press, kind of just a rundown of what happened at Omaha Beach and some of the other beaches in France, just this last Thursday.
So it reads here, Omaha Beach, France.
As young soldiers, they waded through breaking waves and gunfire to battle Nazis.
Now bent with age, the dwindling number of WWII veterans joins a new generation of leaders on Thursday to honor the dead, to living and fight for democracy on the shores where they landed 80 years ago on D-Day.
Now, I know we just got into this, but can you imagine?
Can you imagine being a young 18 or 19-year-old kid Walking into a recruiting office to join the military.
Just fresh out of high school.
And just a few weeks later, a couple months later, find yourself on this landing craft.
Plummeting towards the beach.
In France.
Not really knowing what was in store for you, at least the initial waves.
Not really knowing that when that ramp drops, your chances of survival were extremely minimal.
They didn't know.
Just think about where you were at when you were 18.
Not necessarily physically where you were, but mentally.
Where you were as a young person growing into adulthood.
The life experience that you didn't have yet.
Just all the things that you didn't know.
And here, and here you are, on this little boat, riding the waves to almost certain death.
That's intense, man.
Extremely intense.
And now, 80 years later, this week, some of these men have never been there since the day they fought to secure this beach.
And here they are.
I can just imagine how powerful that is for these dudes.
Anyway, let's continue.
The war in Ukraine shadowed the ceremonies in Normandy, a grim modern-day example of lives in cities that are, again, suffering through war in Europe.
Ukraine's president was greeted with a standing ovation and cheers.
Russia, a crucial World War II ally, whose full-scale invasion of its smaller neighbor in 2022...
Set Europe on a path of war.
They were not invited.
Russia was not invited.
Sorry guys, you can't be here.
And so here's the thing about that.
I really don't want to get into the ins and outs of the Ukraine and the Russia war.
At the end of the day, it's an absolute effing tragedy.
That we've given that country billions and billions of dollars when we have a lot of problems here that we need to solve.
And that's what I'll say about that.
But it would be...
It's quite interesting to me...
I'll say one more thing.
It's quite interesting to me that a country like Ukraine, who is in an intense battle to save their land...
The leader, the shot-caller, and I'm sure his entourage, I'm sure he didn't come alone, had time to go to a day of remembrance in France when his people, his soldiers, are, in quotes, being slaughtered by the Russians.
Not sure that that narrative fits with an appearance at a day of remembrance.
And furthermore, wasn't the Ukraine...
Didn't the Ukraine become a country in the early 90s?
They weren't there for D-Day.
Anyway, I digress.
Excuse me.
Let's continue.
The commemorations for more than 4,400 Allied dead on D-Day and many tens of thousands more, including French civilians, as we said, killed in the ensuing Battle of Normandy were tinged with fear that World War II lessons are fading.
Hmm.
There are things worth fighting for, said Mr.
Walter Stitt, who fought in tanks and turns 100 years old in July.
Hmm.
As he visited Omen Hall Beach, he was there on Thursday, although I wish there was another way to do it other than try to kill each other.
Well, we'll learn one of these days, but I won't be around for that, he said.
And so, to me, this is a very interesting entry into this article.
Here you have a 100-year-old World War II veteran.
who has now had 80 years 80 years to think about whatever his role was sounds like he was a tanker in World War II and still to this day he can honestly say I wish that there was another way to do this I wish we didn't have to kill each other But
the fact of the matter is that it's necessary.
You see, that's the interesting thing about the way we as humans seem to operate.
You can try a diplomatic approach.
You can try to talk it out.
You can try a whole litany of things.
But at the end of the day, when none of it seems to work out or none of it seems to work out in the way you'd like it to or in your favor, we just kill you.
And why is that?
Why did the human race adopt that way of thinking?
Why did we pick extinguishing our enemies from the face of the planet?
Some people say it's an issue of natural selection.
It's a way of thinning out the herd to make sure there's adequate space, room, and resources for everybody to have what they need.
But we also know that taking human life for...
I'll go out on a limb and say for 96 to 98% of the people on this planet.
It's not an easy thing to do.
It's not something that we as humans enjoy.
It's not something that our minds and our psyche is set up to do.
But we've come to the conclusion that it's necessary.
It's necessary to keep all the things that we love and we hold dear safe.
And secure.
Death.
Extinguishing the life of our enemies.
And some of us would have it no other way.
It's an interesting mindset.
I'm not going to say that it's right or that it's wrong.
Because I have my own opinions on that.
But...
It's an interesting mindset.
U.S. President Joe Biden directly linked Ukraine's fight for its young democracy to the battle to defeat Nazi Germany.
To surrender to bullies, to bow down to dictators is simply unthinkable, Biden said.
If we were to do that, it means we'd be forgetting what happened here on these hallowed beaches.
What?
I think that we can all agree that Adolf Hitler was more than just a bully.
I think we can all agree that the Nazi party was more than just a bunch of bullies.
Hitler was not a bully.
Okay.
Hitler was a deranged man.
And from what I understand from people who have studied him a lot more than I have, he was a pretty smart guy, but he was not mentally well.
I think when you burn thousands and thousands of people alive and you execute them and you do all the things that were done to people that they chose to do them to, whether it was the Jews or the Polish folks, anybody that wasn't blonde-haired, blue-eyed, or however they chose their targets.
Other than just being a Jew.
Doesn't show me that they're bullies.
It shows me that they're murderous, insane, deranged people.
And many of them probably brainwashed.
Probably even, we could probably even agree that there was quite a few of them that were maybe younger ages that were taught this as children.
And so this was just the way that it was.
This is the way that they grew up.
And they thought that they were doing what was right.
Who knows what the answer was.
But a bully, I don't think is a fair label for Hitler or the Nazi party.
As now Centurion veterans revisited old memories and fallen comrades buried in Normandy graves, Ukrainian President Zelensky's presence at the International D-Day commemoration fused World War II's awful past with the fraught present.
The dead and wounded on both sides of Ukraine are estimated to be in hundreds of thousands.
Despite Russia's absence, French President Emmanuel Macron, sorry if I butchered that, paid homage to those who fought on the Eastern Front and the absolute commitment of the Red Army and all the people who were part of the Soviet Union.
But it was the landing on June 6, 1944 in the battles in Normandy that followed that ultimately drove the Nazis from France.
We'll see you next time.
You came here because the free world needed each and every one of you.
And you answered the call, Macron said.
You came here to make France a free nation.
You came here today at home.
It's a pretty interesting thing.
And here's something that I've learned from other European folks just in my travels.
Places that were affected on a large, maybe even a small scale, but on a large scale for sure by World War II are still to this day extremely Grateful for America.
They look up to America.
They believe that the debt owed, if we want to call it that, to the United States of America can never be repaid.
For all the men and women That went to Europe and fought the Germans back and ultimately destroyed them and beat them and killed them.
These nations are forever grateful.
And I gotta say, it's kind of a humbling thing when you stop and think about it.
Because here are all these people all the way across the world that don't know any of us.
And they're extremely grateful for who we are, who we've been.
But we have Americans.
Our own people walking in our own streets.
In our own neighborhoods, in our own communities that hate this place.
And so maybe we can chalk it up to the fact that, well, these folks in France, they don't live in America.
They don't really know what's going on.
Well, maybe that's true.
But this happened 80 years ago.
80 years ago, and they're still thankful, and they're still grateful, and they still show that they're thankful.
And we have our own people, young people.
Young kids probably still got dirt tracks in their underwear, for Christ's sake.
They hate this place.
Let's take this one into the weeds for a second.
When and where did it become cool to hate your country?
Not necessarily just hate America, but it seems like people all over the world, like there's this movement to hate where you're from.
To hate your country.
And so we have young Americans walking around our streets talking about how horrible this place is.
How ashamed we should be.
How ashamed they are to be an American.
Where the hell did we get that?
Where did that come from?
How did we get there?
Does anybody expect us to believe that this narrative came from...
I mean, it sounds...
I struggle with it because it sounds effing ridiculous.
But it seems like all of this bullshit started...
Not too many days after, Donald Trump came down that golden escalator and announced that he was running for president.
All those years ago.
And he stood in front of a camera and a microphone and said, we're going to drain the swamp.
We know who you are.
Your time is running short.
We're going to expose you.
That America blew up.
There wasn't a whole lot of people at that time.
Well, maybe there was.
But it didn't seem like there was a whole lot of people at that time that were intrigued by what this man had to say.
When the reality was that for many, many, many years...
Donald Trump rolled in circles with many powerful people.
Was he ever corrupted?
Maybe.
Who knows?
Does he have skeletons in his closet?
Probably.
Who knows?
Is he unfit to hold the office of the President of the United States of America?
I don't think so.
I don't think, to be completely honest, that that man has any worse secrets or any more dirty laundry in his closet than any other politician.
He may have less but I don't think he has more.
I think that if we all as a country knew all of the truth about what has happened behind closed doors in the halls of our government agencies, in the White House,
in the halls of Congress, in the halls of the Senate, in the halls of office building like the Longworth building on Capitol Hill where all these people office I think we could make a case that all of them deserve to be in prison or hang.
All of them.
And if not all of them, a very, very large portion of them.
You see, it's the same kind of idea that people have about celebrities and like the super rich people.
Once you get to that status, there's really not a whole lot else to do except for screwed up shit.
And then when you're there, you have the resources to pay hush money.
You have the resources to keep people quiet.
You have the resources to sweep things under the rug.
To never be seen or talked about again.
I mean, look at Jeffrey Epstein and how long he spent destroying the lives of these young women.
And for so long, nobody knew.
And then nobody believed it at first.
Well, how could he do that?
I mean...
He's got a great life.
He's got billions of dollars.
He's got his own planes.
He owns his own island, for Christ's sake.
There's no way he's doing all that stuff.
Well, having those resources certainly gives you the opportunity to do all that stuff.
So there were many people that were wrong about Epstein.
But we got into this funk about hating America and just trampling all over the work and the sacrifices that so many men and women have made for us to be able to make the decision to hate America.
And that's the worst part.
We don't have to like it.
We don't have to agree.
But the one thing that we can all agree on is that we fought.
We all fought for whoever it is to have the right to express themselves and say that they hate this place.
But where it becomes unfair, if you want to call it, if we're going to keep score about what's fair and what's not, is that those of us who believe in the idea of America and believe in the idea of the American dream and believe in the idea that we can be the superpower that we once were, now we're the bigots.
Now we're the assholes.
Now we're the ones that are wrong.
We don't know what we're talking about.
and we should be ashamed of ourselves.
Did you ever think...
Ask yourself this question.
Did you ever think in a million years that you would have to...
And you don't have to.
Some people feel like they have to hide their patriotism for your home.
Did you ever think that you'd have to be soft-spoken about how much you love your country?
Even though we can identify that it's pretty effed up right now.
There's a lot of things that we got going on that need to be fixed, that need attention.
But did you ever think that you would be in a position that somebody would berate you or accost you for saying that you love America?
When you're in America?
And did you ever think that the people that berate you and talk down to you because you expressed your love for your country are also Americans?
It's a weird paradox, I think.
I'm not going to lie, I was trying to be...
I was trying to sound smart there.
I don't know if paradox was even the right word.
Sounded good.
But I never thought, never thought in a million years that I would ever have to second guess who's in my presence when I talk about how much I love my home and how proud I am to have fought to keep it free.
Just, it baffles my mind that that's even a thing.
Wow, time is flying.
We're already running short.
I gotta get to a break here.
We'll be back with you in one second.
and don't go away.
Our enemies have a plan.
Our enemy's leader has a plan.
We all have one common enemy.
His name is Satan and right now his minions are trying to run this country.
We're gonna expose all the lies around the COVID bioweapons.
We're gonna expose all the lies around our fake and stolen rig elections.
We're gonna put the sexual depravity of our fake leaders on full display.
And then, when the truth is known to the entire world, we are going to have extreme accountability.
We will be the plan.
We are never going to give up.
Hey folks, welcome back here to the last half of the show.
I ate up a lot of time just given my thoughts as I usually do.
But I want to power through this article and then we'll come back to a couple points.
So let's get after it here.
We left off with back here at home if I may say.
The French President awarded the Legion of Honor to 14 US veterans and a British female.
Among the Americans was Edward Berthold.
I hope I didn't butcher his name.
He doesn't deserve that.
A pilot who carried out his three missions over France in May 1944 before taking part in Operation St.
Lowe in Normandy on D-Day.
He flew 35 combat missions in all during World War II. He wrote a letter out loud...
He read a letter out loud he had written home the next day after D-Day, showing that even as a young man, he was aware of D-Day's importance.
An excerpt of the letter reads this, Wednesday night, June 7th, 1944, Dear Mom, Just a few lines to tell you that we are all okay.
We flew a mission number 10 on D-Day.
It certainly was a terrific show from what we could see.
This is what everyone has been waiting for.
This was the culmination.
This was the culmination of all the build-up.
All the training.
All the rehearsals.
All the anxiety, I'll call it anxiety, of this invasion that was planned.
I don't believe that the American soldiers had any idea what they were walking into on D-Day.
I do believe that the American soldiers had an idea of what this meant.
Of what this day meant.
What the importance of this mission was.
Because it was so vast.
There were so many people.
So much equipment.
I believe that they had an idea.
That this is it, guys.
This is the day that we cannot fall.
This is the day where we show the world that the United States of America has the most potent can of whoop-ass of anyone else in the world.
And they did it.
They lose a bunch of guys?
Yeah.
They lost a lot of men.
But they did it.
Ask yourself this question.
Can you imagine...
Can you imagine being in the command group at the higher echelons of the War Department, or whatever they called it at the time, That was planning this mission and knowing how many soldiers you're gonna lose.
Because that's always part of the planning, right?
You have to plan for your losses.
And think about this.
What were the other plans like that were put on the table?
That didn't get picked.
Let's not be mistaken.
The way that D-Day played out wasn't the only plan on the table.
It'd be very hard for me to believe that that's the case if somebody was going to say that.
But when you're planning missions, And you're thinking about all these things, you have to plan for loss.
So the command group had an idea of how many soldiers, potentially, they were going to lose.
What we don't know is what that conversation was like.
Was the conversation, yeah, well, you know, we're going to hit the beachhead with artillery.
We're going to drop some bombs.
And then after the third or fourth volley, then we're going to start sending in the troops.
Or whatever it was.
However it played out.
And while we're doing all that, once the landing crafts hit the beach, you know, once they get 70% of the way there, we're going to launch the next wave.
And once they get to this mark, then we're going to launch the next one.
And blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
So they just planned the whole thing out.
And then the big boss will look at whoever is giving the brief and go, okay, well, what are our potential losses?
And somebody and the guy will go, oh, 30%.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Imagine being that guy.
And having to be the person that signs off on the plan.
Knowing that 30% of the young American soldiers that you're setting into battle aren't even going to make it up the beach.
But you sign the plan.
You give the orders.
You get everybody staged.
You get everybody ready to go.
When everything's ready, artillery's firing, a third volley goes, boom.
Plan's in motion.
And now you're the guy With the big hat on with the shiny stars or whatever on the front of it.
That signed off on this.
And by the end of the day when the smoke clears.
And you're getting your situation reports.
Your operational reports.
And you find out how many men you've lost.
Even if you didn't hit the mark that was planned on.
That's a lot of young men.
That's a lot of young men that were just plucked from their homes.
A lot of young men that just six months ago were playing high school football or baseball or basketball or whatever.
Driving their hot rods around the burger joint with their girlfriends.
Going to see a picture show.
Now they're dead.
Laying on a beach in Normandy.
But the men that did survive.
The men that did survive and they pushed through and they took the beach.
They gained a foothold.
They pushed the Nazis back.
They took over the space.
They established a beachhead.
They established a strategic position.
Which is what gave us A way into the fight.
And so, if you're the guy making the decision, do you see that as a win?
Do you see it as kind of a win?
Do you see it as a tragedy?
That these thousands of men are dead?
Either way, you still now have to live with that.
Yeah, maybe you didn't pick up a rifle.
And maybe you didn't walk across Europe with inadequate equipment.
Maybe you didn't spend winter in Europe with no winter gear.
But you still have to live out your days knowing that you knowingly sent thousands of young men to their death for a cause much greater than any one of them.
And then you ask yourself, If you could bring those men back...
If you could bring those men back and have...
One last conversation...
Do you think they'd be pissed about it?
Because let's not be mistaken...
We as military members...
We as soldiers...
We know the cost.
We know the risk involved.
We already know that even if the mission succeeds, that doesn't necessarily mean that we all go home alive.
That doesn't help.
That doesn't necessarily mean that we all go home.
But do you think they'd be pissed off?
I think some of them would be.
And can you blame them?
Even though, even though we know what the cost is, even though we understand that That when we left home and we kissed our girlfriends, we hugged our parents, we hugged our dog,
punched our brother in the chest, gave our little sister a kiss on the forehead and told her I'll be back soon, we already knew we might not come back.
And see, that part of soldiering hasn't changed today.
I mean, that was the narrative when we went to Iraq.
Last week we had Mike Wellnitz on the show.
Mike and I were on the same team in Iraq.
We deployed together.
And next time he's on the show, I'm going to ask him about this because Mike was the guy.
Him and I exchanged letters when we were deployed.
He held my letter to my family and I held his letter to his family.
Should something happen to me, bro, please make sure my family gets this letter.
And if I remember right, it was his idea.
And I thought, man, he's on to something here.
I should probably write a letter.
At the time, my son was six months old when I left home.
And so had I got smoked while we were there, he never would have even remembered.
Never even would have remembered me.
He would have known about me through stories.
And my now ex-wife, hopefully, and my family and my parents and all that other stuff would have talked about me to him.
Thank you.
But he never would have known me.
I mean, even now, even now, if he hates me, he still never would have known me.
me.
And so I thought, well, this is a good idea.
So I wrote a letter and gave it to Mike to give to my family should something have happened to me.
And we found ourselves, more than one time, in situations where it was quite possible that we weren't going to make it.
We did, clearly.
But I'll tell you what.
There was a couple times.
A couple times that got pretty hairy.
So I say all that to get some creativity in your mind flowing.
What must it have been like?
Because I think what these guys are trying to say is that we can't forget.
We can't forget what all of this means.
We can't forget why this happened.
We can't forget why it's important.
The way that life is as we know it was partly shaped and formed.
By the action of these men on this day 80 years ago.
Had the invasion on D-Day failed?
Does America win the war?
I don't know.
I don't know that I'm educated enough about World War II to make a reasonable prediction or assumption.
Maybe not.
It seems as though a lot of things need to happen and fall into place at just the right time for all these things to work out the way they did.
And although I don't always really agree that there's a whole lot of coincidences that happen in the world, this might be one of them.
Now, there are some out there that say there are no coincidences and that the events of World War II and most events leading up until today's time were all rigged And that things aren't what we've been taught or what they seem.
And maybe some of that is true.
Maybe all of it's true.
Who knows?
I don't think we've seen any concrete evidence of any of it yet.
There's a lot of stuff that's pretty compelling.
I'll say that.
There's a whole lot of shit that's pretty dang compelling.
But as it relates...
To the men that stormed the beaches in Normandy.
For them, it didn't matter.
It didn't matter if it's all fake.
It didn't matter if they were being lied to or if we were being lied to at the time.
The premise in which these men got on these landing crafts in the sea and rode to the beach to push back the Nazis was for the idea. .
And I know that I bring it up a lot, this idea of America, this idea of the dream.
And I talk about it a lot, but It just seems to fit in so many instances because there's so many things that we just choose to believe or not to believe.
There's so many things that we don't have concrete evidence of.
There's a lot of people out there in the universe that Telling us how it is and how it was and how it's supposed to be and the wolves pulled over our eyes and this and that and the other thing.
But nobody has any real concrete evidence.
Maybe they do and I just...
I'm blind to it.
Maybe I'm stupid.
It's like the flat earth argument.
It's dumb.
The argument is that nobody's ever been to space.
All the pictures we have are fake.
CGI. I was just talking about this at work with one of my co-workers not long ago.
Pictures are fake.
It's all CGI. It's this and that and the other thing.
Nobody's been there.
The earth is flat.
Well, hold on a second.
If nobody's been up there, then nobody knows.
So it's a stupid argument.
If nobody has ever really been to space to confirm whether or not the Earth is a ball, or if it's a plate, or if it's a halo like the video game, nobody knows.
So why the hell are we arguing about it?
And you've heard these stupid arguments about, well, you know, if the Earth is spinning this fast, why don't we just pull it off the edge?
Well, because there's gravity, right?
And you're not a scientist.
Most of these people are not scientists, so you clearly don't understand gravity or the science behind how it works.
But I'll tell you one thing.
Uh...
If you get into an airplane in St.
Paul and fly straight north and end up in Europe or whatever is on the other side of the earth from us, well, it's pretty damn clear that the earth is not flat, I would think.
I don't know.
Anyway, off into the weeds again.
But see, this is stupid because nobody really knows.
But at the end of the day, 80 years ago, 80 years ago was the day in which the world as we know it, in my opinion, started.
A lot of things changed, it seems, from the time World War II started to now.
I think that's something that we need to always keep in mind.
Even if you think that it is fake and it doesn't mean shit and it doesn't matter, don't forget.
Because for the people that had your best interest in mind, the doers, the grunts, the boots on the ground, They did it with the idea that your life was going to be better.
In hopes that your life was going to be better.
That the mission would succeed and that your life ultimately would be better.
We've run out of time.
I don't know about you, but...
That time went super fast today.
We didn't get through the article.
Basically, what it talked about towards the end was just don't forget.
When we start to forget the sacrifices that were made for us to have what we have, that's when those men truly die.
As long as we remember their sacrifices and remember them, And what they did for you and for me and for so many other people.
They'll live forever.
And they should.
They should live forever.
It took a really, really large set of testicles for those young kids to do what they did.
18 years old.
Thank you for joining us today.
We look forward to coming and spending some time with you next week.
Take care of yourselves.
Take care of each other.
Have a great evening and also have a good night.
Bye-bye.
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 bullshit.
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.
