Time Text
That United States military veterans who have, at one point in their lives, they filled out a blank check, right?
We've all heard this, filled out a blank check, and the amount up into the cost of my life, here you go, America, now send me to do your bidding.
Send me, I signed up to be a soldier, send me to be a soldier.
And now that they've completed this service and they've chosen to go fight on behalf of the Ukraine, they now see America in a much different light, it seems.
So, today we're going to discuss that, and I also am interested about why veterans are in the news so often nowadays.
I find that interesting as well.
So stick with us.
Don't go away.
we start now.
Hey, everybody, and welcome here to another episode of The Richard Leonard Show.
I want to thank you, as always, for joining us.
It's very humbling to see participation continue.
If you're new here, thanks for joining.
I hope you come back.
Also, before we get started, as usual, I know you won't mind me telling you about how this show is made possible, and that is Cortez Wealth Management.
Get yourselves on over to AmericaFirstRetirementPlan.com.
Sign up for the webinars.
They happen on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
Let Carlos Cortez and his staff help you plan, put together, and execute a tax-free retirement plan.
So get on over there, AmericaFirstRetirementPlan.com.
Once you get all the information, if you have any questions, comments, and or concerns, make sure you contact Mr. Cortez and or his staff to ensure that your questions and your concerns get addressed because they're there for you to do that.
So get on over there.
Again, one last time, AmericaFirstRetirementPlan.com.
Boy, I twisted my own tongue there.
Check them out.
Okay.
Sorry, I got tongue-tied for a second.
So, throughout the week, as I've explained before, throughout the week, I spend a significant amount of time trying to stay up on what's happening.
I feel like maybe part of the responsibility of doing this kind of work is that you just try to stay informed.
Maybe you don't...
Know everything about everything.
Maybe you don't know nothing about nothing.
But if you make an effort to try to stay informed, so at least you can provide some kind of content that provides context to what people are thinking and feeling or maybe not even knowing about, I think that's important.
That's why we're here.
I don't know if this is the place where you go to find people who are just randomly talking about Whatever is on their mind.
So, I try to do that.
And I came across a story, of all places, military.com, which I haven't really ever read a whole lot of their stuff.
They were trying to force you to be a member and paid membership and all this stuff at one point.
Well, there's a few military publications that you can kind of get similar stories from, but Military.com seems to be a little more left-leaning than the others that are, in my opinion, a little more straight down the middle, like military and veterans' issues should be.
That's what we think, anyway.
But there's this story about United States military veterans Have chosen of their own free will, just like when they joined the military, to go fight on behalf of the Ukraine.
And watching all the political discourse and everything that's going on back home, they say, has really altered their perception and their opinion of their country and how it's run.
And the people that we...
As voters elect into the office, a couple of them even highlighted that they voted for Donald Trump and they feel it was a mistake.
One guy even talked about how, I don't like any of the presidents that I've had in my lifetime, but we should recognize when they do something good because bad people or people we don't like, not necessarily that they're bad, also can do good things.
So they should be recognized for that.
Which I thought was pretty insightful, and I agree with that.
You know, I think that in the last administration, those of us who were willing and able and wanted to had a field day with interesting content to talk about.
And don't get me wrong, there's still interesting things to be talking about, because there's a lot of what, in my opinion, is Some pretty interesting shenanigans going on in and around Capitol Hill.
Like Mr. Blumenthal's shadow hearings, right?
Like we talked about last week.
I find that interesting.
That anybody thinks that's going to work when you have just one side of the story.
Aren't a lot of these politicians, they're lawyers and mayors and ex...
X this and X that and they were this and they went to this big fancy Ivy League school or whatever.
But yet they still think that we're going to segregate both sides of the story.
Segregate both sides of the issue.
A lot like the police do, right?
If you get pulled over in a car and there's been a crime committed and...
The police think that the car that you're driving matches the description and they get everyone out of the car.
What is the first thing they do?
They separate you.
They segregate you.
To get the story.
See how many of the stories line up?
Probably, depending on the age of the individuals.
A lot of times I bet they find that none of the stories line up.
Because everyone doesn't.
They haven't agreed on a lie yet.
They haven't thought it out enough to agree on what the lie is going to be, when and if we get caught, as kids do.
But here now, on Capitol Hill, we have these full-grown adults, accomplished individuals.
They say that we've all elected, we've all voted them into office, and so it makes them...
Super competent.
And so, of course, now they're going to separate, right?
They're going to segregate the issue.
But the problem is that they're not going to get the other side of the story.
They're not going to get both sides of the story.
They're not going to look to see if there's anybody on the middle ground.
Hmm.
And this is going to solve a problem for VA layoffs, right?
When the man, the secretary, says he wants to cut 80,000 more people and we're holding shadow hearings, like we talked about, for 2,400, 4,400, whatever the number was.
I find it interesting.
And so now, back to the real thing, right?
The veterans who are fighting in Ukraine.
So now they see all this stuff.
They see what Trump is saying on TV and the way that people are reacting and maybe some of their investments if they're in the stock market or crypto or whatever and they see the way that all that's reacting to what Trump's doing and saying and what the legacy media is saying.
And they formulated this whole opinion about how they...
How they just hate the government.
They hate the country that they came from.
And maybe they don't say they hate.
Maybe I should have it on the screen like I usually do.
But they have a strong disdain for the United States system.
Which, I guess saying it out loud, a lot of people in the current...
The current situation.
Have a lot of disdain for the United States system.
But the concern is, for me, a little bit more about why.
Why they're so upset.
They're so upset because America is apparently going to stop supporting the war in Ukraine.
Now there was a ceasefire.
There was some deal.
But according to this, bombs are still falling.
People are still getting shot.
There's firefights.
There's rocket attacks.
There's this and that.
It's still happening.
So, I don't know.
I don't know what the...
I'm not educated on the ceasefire deal.
What was agreed to in what regions and what was not agreed to in what regions.
But nobody asked you to go.
Nobody asked these guys, hey, all you dudes should get a bunch of your gear, grab your weapons.
You should go and fight the Russians in the Ukraine war.
Don't worry.
It'll all be good.
Big Papa's coming, right?
The big guy.
Keep some on ice for the big guy.
He's coming.
But it doesn't seem like Big Daddy American military is coming.
Maybe they are.
Maybe that will happen.
See, I think it's a little bit different when you show disdain for the government that you sacrificed your whole life for.
You sacrificed your youth.
You sacrificed your health.
You sacrificed...
Some experiences in life that you don't get that most other people do because you're doing something different.
So if you have strong disdain for that, after you've given, if you can say that you've given everything that you were supposed to, that you agreed to, Left it all out on the field.
And you were abandoned somewhere.
Then I get it.
But now because you've chosen, you've chosen to gather your things, go over, join forces with the Ukrainians and fight the Russians.
And America can't support it forever.
They can't pay the bill forever.
As we've been hearing, day after day after day after day, now you're pissed off.
Now, I don't think that that's...
I don't think that that argument holds any weight.
Because...
I get it, right?
Like, I understand that some guys will, some guys look at this, and women too, there's women there fighting.
I think that people look at it as like this commitment that they made for peace and justice, or whatever it looks like to them, that it needs to be made wherever it is that they can help, wherever they can lend a hand.
And I get it.
I understand where they're coming from.
I understand how they feel.
But still, at the end of the day, it's your decision, man.
Like, if that's how you feel, that you're going to go and fight injustice.
I'm on board with you.
I get it.
I'm not going with you, but I can support that feeling and that drive for you.
And if somebody, one of my buddies that I served with, for example, had contacted me and said, you know, I really feel compelled.
I really feel compelled to gather all my equipment and go fight the Russians on behalf of the Ukrainian people.
If we were in the same town, I'd ask them to meet up.
Have a whiskey together.
Have a beer together.
Have a conversation.
Do some reminiscing, maybe.
And I would wish him well.
That's your decision, man.
I get it.
Godspeed, brother.
But you can't look back and say, well, you didn't come with me, so that doesn't...
You're not supportive.
And so when the American government says, alright, we're done with this.
We can't afford it.
We can't spend billions and billions and billions and billions of dollars here.
Well, that means you, Joe Snuffy, that decided to go.
That is going to affect you.
One of the guys in here talked about...
The tension.
It didn't sound to me like he felt unsafe, but it certainly sounded like there's tension now.
When you're not out in the front lines fighting and you're in the rear doing recovery or whatever it is you're doing, now there's tension and people look at you different and people are upset at you and all this other stuff because America, in their eyes, backed out.
They picked up their ball and they went home.
After the last interaction that we all saw on the news with President Zelensky and President Trump.
That's when they say America picked up their ball, put their thumb in their mouth, and went crying back home.
I think that it takes a very strong person to commit.
To that fight.
It takes a strong person to put your life on hold.
And maybe some of these folks, maybe they're single and they don't have any kids.
And they don't necessarily like the job that they're in.
Or maybe they didn't have a job.
Who knows where these folks were at before they decided to go.
But whatever.
Even if you have kids and a wife at home and this and that.
And your family supports you doing it.
I support you doing it too.
But I don't support your disdain for the country who's trying to rebuild itself and get itself out of this decline, this plummet.
This plummet that we found ourselves in for quite a long time.
I would think that they would look and say, well, maybe not.
I guess vision through...
Through the smoke and the fog and all that stuff is different.
The view of the facts, I suppose, they look different from the front lines than they do from where I'm sitting.
I can certainly say that when I was in combat and I was out there running around in trucks, escorting semis up and down the highways and shooting it out with people and we were dodging IEDs and all kinds of shit.
The view of the world from that perspective was a whole lot different than it was from anybody who was sitting here.
Home.
Back in America.
So, I understand where they're coming from.
But I also would challenge them to think about also what you left.
You know, we've talked a lot of times on this show about watching our own bobber.
We talk a lot about having integrity and honesty.
I would think that a man or a woman who spent a career Or however long in the military and they found that kind of devotion.
They found the ability to commit fully to something like fighting the Russians.
You're going to just leave your whole life behind.
It takes a strong person to do that.
Some would say it takes a crazy person to do it.
I think it takes a strong person to do it.
But you also have to remember that you walked away from a lot of people that could have used your efforts also.
When your own backyard is full of dog shit, you're going to the other people's yard to pick up their dog shit.
Some people would say, you walked out on America.
America didn't walk out on you.
After everything that you've been through, everything you've given, maybe some of the things you've seen or the things you've had to do, or just having this discussion with a buddy of mine, being a member of the military is a thankless job.
It's a thankless job.
Sure, people will shake your hand.
They'll thank you for your service.
There's all these organizations that'll do things, and some places will offer you a 10% discount or a free meal on November 11th to say thank you, and all of that is great.
I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with it.
It's a gesture, an extent of gratitude.
And, you know, people will.
All the time.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Awesome.
But let me ask you this.
If you're one of those people, how many times have you taken the opportunity to really talk to a member of the military or a veteran?
And find out really what the experience is like.
And it's a lot easier said than done, I realize.
But think about this.
If we teach our kids, right?
We teach our kids, hey, there's a policeman.
You should go shake his hand, buddy, and say thank you for protecting our community.
Or you see a firefighter.
Or when you see a soldier, thank them for their service.
But do we tell them why?
Do we know why?
Not only are we teaching our kids why, but do we know why?
Thank you.
Do we know why we tell our kids?
Other than the cops keep the bad guys away and they keep us safe.
The firemen, they help us when accidents happen.
When lightning strikes our house and it starts on fire.
Or, you know, somebody made a mistake and left the pizza in too long and the house starts on whatever the case may be.
You didn't know you couldn't put grease or water on a grease fire, that type of thing.
They come and they save us.
And we thank soldiers for their service because they protect America all over the world.
And so as we grow older...
Do we continue to have those conversations about why we say thank you to those people?
And for many people, I believe that they just assume that those types of things, they grow organically.
People will understand organically why we say thank you to soldiers and this and that and the other thing.
But I think where we've kind of fell short with veterans is, do you really know what their experience was?
Do you know what you're thankful for?
The flag is great, freedom and prosperity, living the American dream, the proverbial blanket of freedom.
Yeah, that's all part of it.
Okay.
But, what was the experience like?
Now, I don't necessarily mean that we need to tell people and kids and everyone else all these gruesome, gory, horrible details about combat or the things that we've seen or the things that we've been through.
But you can certainly talk about your experience.
I have found that there are ways to talk about things like combat in a way.
It seems a little less shocking, although I hate doing it because I believe that everyone should have to feel it.
If you want to know and you really want to try to understand, then you've got to feel something.
Because everybody that, in my opinion, everybody that put on that uniform, they all experienced something that was life-changing.
Good, bad, or indifferent.
Everybody experienced something.
And everybody should be able to talk about those experiences and how it shaped who they have become and all of those types of things.
So I believe that although, again, easier said than done, I believe that if we were to get serious about Meaning our thank yous and meaning the things that we say, that'll change a little bit, maybe.
And I don't even know how we got down that goat trail, talking about veterans fighting in the Ukraine.
But I think it's interesting, right, because people are real quick.
People are real quick to forget.
Where they came from.
And how it was developed and how it all came to be when the next big thing comes.
It's kind of like those people.
Do you know any people who are like the bigger, better deal type person?
Well, they'll be all in on this, that, and the other thing.
And then the second, the bigger, better deal comes along.
Whatever that may be.
Well, there we go there.
Then we lose sight of all these things that we've built, maybe relationships that we've fostered, career milestones that we've reached, whatever it is.
I think it's important to always remember where you came from.
Remembering where you grew up and how you were raised.
What led you?
What led you on the path that you were on?
For people who served in the military, what led you to the military?
I mean, I think that the reasons are, there's a plethora of them, and they're all out there.
You'll find them everywhere.
It's my patriotic duty.
I joined so I could get free college.
Didn't have, I don't know, grew up in a small town, didn't really have anything better to do.
If I stayed there, I'd be a drunk.
You get those people too.
And everybody, no matter what.
You get the people that, I served with a couple guys in my basic training platoon.
Well, it was one guy.
Who, it was military or jail.
I think he came from Alabama or Georgia or something like that.
So the military was his last chance to stay out of the Huskow.
And I don't know what happened to him after basic training, but I remember that he was a pretty damn good soldier.
He was running in the best run group.
He was an ace at land nav.
He did well.
He didn't seem like a criminal to me.
He just seemed like a guy who was probably in a place where he was bored.
Being older now, looking back, he was probably bored.
And wherever he came from, causing trouble was like what you do for the day.
Let's see how much trouble we can cause, or if we can just cause some trouble and see if we can get away with it.
We'll be good.
Well, he didn't get away with it very often, it appeared.
Because it was either the United States Army...
Or the Huskow.
And so there he was.
And he did great.
So there's all kinds of reasons.
Everyone has them.
I'd like to know from these guys who decided to pick up everything and go to the Ukraine and fight, what led you to that?
Right?
Like, other than the reason...
Well, you know, when I committed to my service, I committed to ridden the world of tyranny, evil, and whatever they outlined in the article.
Okay.
Alright, that's cool.
Like, if that's your stance, and that's your mission, that's your mission, man.
Fucking Charlie Mike, dude.
I'm in on it.
I got you.
I'll support you.
But that doesn't mean everyone has to agree.
And certainly our government isn't going to agree just because we have U.S. military veterans that chose to fight.
This narrative that America forgot about us, I can't get down with that.
You chose to go, man.
You chose to bounce.
And so here we are.
We've got to take a break.
We'll be right back.
Don't go away.
You're welcome.
Hey folks, real quick before we get back to the show.
It's no secret that we have been experiencing a loss of sponsorships.
Sponsors have been leaving the network or the network leaving sponsors due to our convictions.

Thank you.
Thank you.
Hey folks, welcome back here from the break.
I wanted to play you a couple short video clips that I found.
One of these was off of TikTok.
It came earlier this week about a VA contractor.
And the amount of money he or they were paid to do the job.
And I think that probably many of you have seen this or at least heard about it.
But I wanted to play it here.
Because I think it's interesting and it plays into what we've been talking about today.
But there's also some more to go along with it.
So let's start with this.
Here we go.
Check this out.
Hey, does anybody want a job paying $8,700 an hour?
Yes.
And the job only requires probably about 10 hours of work per week.
I'm in.
Because Doge just went into the VA and found that somebody was making that.
They found that there was a software engineer who was paid to do light modifications on the website, which takes about 10 hours per week, and they were paying him $380,000 a month to do that, which comes out to roughly about $4.5 million a year.
And if you break that down into 10 hours a week of work, that's roughly $8,700 an hour.
Yeah, that's not okay.
That's my tax dollars.
Unless you're that guy.
Being paid to someone to do very light modifications to a website for 10 hours a fucking week.
There's dudes working on oil rigs, working like fucking 18 hour days that don't even make a fucking fraction of that.
Good point.
And there's somebody being paid to just click.
Click.
Type, type, type.
Click.
Boom.
Done.
Okay, so...
I don't know, folks.
That seems like a pretty extraordinary accusation.
$8,700 an hour.
To do anything, anything at all, is quite extraordinary.
But if we're talking about...
Some basement dweller, sitting at a computer, and my guess is this, if this is 100% true, or if there's any truth to this, my guess is that this person was sitting at, well not even going into the office, right?
They were at home, sitting in their chonies, making $8,700 an hour, and I'm sure chuckling his ass off all the way to the bank.
And so I find it interesting because this video, this particular TikTok came out, I don't know, a month, maybe two ago or something like that.
But it's interesting that it surfaced on social media this last week.
I mean, this thing was posted quite some time ago, but it started surfacing quite a bit this last week.
And then, interestingly enough, now we've seen that the Veterans Affairs Committee is calling on the Attorney General to investigate the VA for this massive money grab that wasn't necessarily needed.
And so it makes me think about...
Was Secretary McDonough concerned about not having enough money for veterans to receive their benefits, or was he concerned more about not having enough money to pay these contracts because they were promised, or he's getting some kickback, or somebody's getting some kickback, or maybe he's not complicit and he was just ordered to do this by somebody above him.
And the person above him was the president.
So either way that you slice it, it's pretty interesting, right?
I also found this that came out on April 3rd, but surfaced kind of on an algorithm or whatever you want to call it this week again.
So check this one out.
We won't watch this whole thing, just the beginning.
Check this guy out.
The Department of Veterans Affairs, VA, paid huge amounts for minor website changes, Doge has found.
Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency discovered a previous contract by the department for maintaining its website before an internal staffer took on the role.
Appreciating the department, Doge posted the contract has not been renewed, and one software engineer is working on it.
Spending less than 10 hours per week.
There it is.
The VA was previously paying $380,000 a month for minor website modifications.
Doge reported that the contract had not been renewed and the same work is being done by one person spending less than 10 hours a week doing it.
And so, some folks are saying, well, you know, This was an agency that was being paid to do this.
Not one person.
But it's some company, right?
So this is the cost of doing business.
This is what it costs for them to do whatever it is they say they're doing.
But still, $380,000 a month for less than 10 hours of work a week?
And yet we still have people who are homeless and sick and all these things that we've been talking about for a long time.
And Donald Trump's naysayers, his haters, well, they all say he's out for his own good, his own wealth, his own power, his own whatever, his own satisfaction.
It seems to me that there are or were a lot of people who were out for their own satisfaction.
I don't know where anybody gets off charging that kind of money for one month of website repair.
And I guess I don't know what the difference between minor website modifications and major or normal website modifications.
I don't know what that is.
So let's just assume that if it was major website modifications, would it have been $3.8 million a month?
I mean, what is the going rate?
For minor website modifications.
Now, keep in mind, the VA website is pretty large, and so maybe minor modifications is a large undertaking.
But we were just told it was less than 10 hours of work a week.
So, who's really the bad guy here?
Who's really trying to pull one over on the American people and the taxpayers?
And see, where all this becomes frustrating is that we continue to hear from lawmakers, we continue to hear from people in power how so important, so important our veterans are to us.
And yet, the VA and just the overall Topic of veterans' issues has become a multi-billion dollar a year industry.
Not as lucrative as porn or sex trafficking or drug dealing or whatever else, selling weapons.
Who knows what else people make money off of out there.
Maybe this particular thing.
Website modifications are not as lucrative as those other things, but this one kind of probably rubs some people a lot more in the wrong way than some other stuff.
Because things like minor website modifications are something that a lot of people who are broke can do.
And so when you have American people who are struggling doing the same or similar jobs for peanuts, but yet our government officials get off on spending $380,000 a month for less than 10 hours of work a week doing a job or an activity that millions of Americans probably know how to do.
I bet there's a lot of young folks.
In our communities that know how to make minor website modifications because they grew up in that era.
They grew up on the internet.
Those are things that are self-taught, that are taught in a lot of classrooms, or at least we're told they're taught in a classroom.
And you got these people struggling just to eat, doing the same thing, the same job, just for a different place, a different organization maybe.
I think that that's a lot harder for the American people to stomach.
Because there's probably a lot of folks that would say, well, you know what?
Fuck, man, I could do that job.
And I would do it for $80,000 a year.
Let alone $380,000 a month.
Or I would do it for $180,000 a year.
Let alone $380,000 a month.
And be completely happy and content with that.
But we're no stranger.
We're no stranger on this platform, on this network, especially on this show, about finding where all of these people that like to take from the little guy.
And then seemingly, in small doses, rub it in your face.
We see that.
We've called it out before.
Shit, for seven or eight weeks, we went in on the Elizabeth Dole Foundation, who, if, by the way, by the way, I wouldn't be surprised if some of these contracts that were cut are going to affect their bullshit, their debauchery.
The point is that all this money that's being spent on all this work, and there are still places within the VA system that veterans cannot get ahead.
They cannot get what they need.
Another classic example, as always, is the VA caregiver program.
These poor folks have just been having their dick stomped in the dirt.
Over and over and over and over again.
With no real relief in sight, it seems.
And so my hope is that things like Doge, like these findings and making them public, and maybe it's naive of me to think this, but hopefully it deters the rest of the turds.
In the turd bowl, that is Capitol Hill, from doing shit like this.
I guess my question is, why is it so hard?
Why is it so hard for people in power to just do the right thing?
What is it about getting a little bit of power or authority, making a little bit more money?
What is it about those things that causes people to just completely abandon and lose their moral compass?
And just do wild shit?
I mean, is it really?
I mean, you hear people talk about, like, this God complex, right?
Like, they get money, power, control, and all the things that they ever dreamed of, they have access to.
And so now they want more.
And more and more and more.
And all these things that are more and more and more always equate to just madness.
It equates to screwing people over.
It equates to people losing their lives or their livelihood.
It equates to destruction.
And here...
Here we find ourselves, the little guys, the regular guys, and regular gals, and regular kids in this country, just trying to do the right thing to get a little bit further ahead.
People my age are trying to do the right thing so that they can leave something for their kids to be proud of.
My parents, same thing.
They worked their whole lives.
To leave a legacy that they could be proud of.
To leave a legacy that we, their family, could be proud of.
And so I wonder why politicians, for the most part, it seems, and maybe I'm wrong about this, but it seems they're not really concerned about the legacy they leave behind when their time as a leader in this country is over.
Maybe people who sit in the Oval Office are concerned about that.
They build themselves libraries and all this other shit.
But our smaller politicians, our congressmen, our senators, our state politicians, and even our county representatives and city political figures.
It seems like a large number of them just don't give a shit about the legacy that they're going to leave behind and what history will say about the things that they did for the people that trusted them to help.
But they're going to walk away from their office with a lot more money.
They're going to walk away with their comfort.
They're going to walk away with their families being taken care of.
But yet we voted for them to do those things to help us do the same.
We voted for them to do things that are going to put us, the constituency, in a position for success.
The position to have a meaningful legacy for the people that we leave behind or the things that we leave behind.
And yet here we all are, working to build said legacy.
And then we watch our politicians piss it all away.
They don't give a shit about what you're doing, what I'm doing, what anybody's doing to just try to be comfortable and live out their days in peace.
And bring light and goodness into the world.
Thank you.
I guess some people would say, That the whole political structure is of the devil.
I'm sure there's a lot of people that think that.
And I think that as time goes by, we see more of it.
And I think that also as time goes by, there's a whole lot more people that are subscribing to that idea, to that narrative.
And I think it's fucked up.
So anyway...
That's all the time that we have for today.
I hope that you guys have had an amazing week, and I hope you have a great rest of your evening.
We'll see you next week.
Have a great night.
Goodbye.
*outro music*
As Christians in a Christian country, we have a right to be, at minimum, agnostic about the leadership being all Jewishly occupied.
We literally should be at war with fucking Israel a hundred times over, and instead we're just sending them money, and it's fucking craziness.
Look at the state of Israel, look at the state of Tel Aviv, and look at the state of Philadelphia.
You tell me where this money's going, you tell me who's benefiting from this.
I am prepared to die in the battle.
Fighting this monstrosity that would wish to enslave me and my family and steal away any rights to my property And if you've got a foreign state, you've got dual citizens in your government, who do you think they're supporting?
God, right now, would you protect the nation of Israel and protect those of us, not just our church, but every church in the world and in this nation that's willing to put their neck on the line and say, we stand with them.
You go to Trump's cabinet.
You go to Biden's cabinet.
for Jews I have a black friend in school.
I have nothing against blacks.
She has nothing against me.
She understands where I'm coming from.
Excuse me, I'm a Jew, and I'd just like to say that, you know, in our Bible it says that you're like animals.
