Voices of Veterans: The Fight for Accountability

This week on the Richard Leonard Show talks about the heated debate surrounding the Department of Veterans Affairs' proposed 15% budget cut, spearheaded by VA Secretary Doug Collins.

Unaccounted: The VA’s $15 Billion Funding Failure

This week on the Richard Leonard Show talks about The disconnect between what the government says about caring for veterans—and what it actually funds. And discussed the Independent Budget, a detailed, data-driven proposal submitted annually to Congress by veteran organizations (DAV, PVA, VFW), based on real needs from the front lines. Despite this, Congress repeatedly underfunds the VA by billions—$15 billion short in 2024 alone—favoring political agendas over practical veteran care. Richard questions why critical areas like mental health, suicide prevention, and crumbling VA facilities are left behind while insiders and contractors benefit.

No Wrong Door for Veterans: A Noble Investment or Another Missed Opportunity?

This week on the Richard Leonard Show talks about The "No Wrong Door for Veterans Act" promises $52.5 million annually through 2028 to combat veteran suicide — a crisis that has plagued this country for decades. The goal is noble, the funding significant, and the urgency undeniable. Yet the haunting question remains: With all the money, research, and supposed expertise, why are we still losing an estimated 22 veterans a day? Behind the hopeful headlines and patriotic press releases lies a grim reality — oversight is murky, services are often redundant, and caregivers on the front lines see little to no change. This isn’t just a matter of inefficiency; it’s a matter of life and death. Brought to you by Cortez Wealth Management! Proudly supporting America First values 🇺🇸!

Hope for Heroes: Ending Veteran Homelessness Starts Now

This week on the Richard Leonard Show talks about President Donald Trump signing a executive order creating the National Center for Warrior Independence—a major initiative aimed at reducing veteran homelessness, particularly in Los Angeles. The center will be built on land originally donated over 100 years ago to house disabled veterans, land which had since been misused for non-veteran purposes. The goal is to house up to 6,000 homeless veterans by January 1, 2028, offering not only shelter but also access to healthcare, support services, and rehabilitation.
