Breathing Death: How America continues to fail it’s veterans

In this episode of The Richard Leonard Show, we dive deep into the ongoing crisis surrounding military burn pits and their devastating impact on veterans’ health.

He discusses a new NIH and DoD study linking burn pit exposure to increased rates of depression, severe stress, brain trauma, intracranial injuries, and higher suicide risk among troops.

The VA’s Real Crisis: Gender Politics Over Veteran Care?

In this episode of The Richard Leonard Show, we dive headfirst into the latest controversy rocking the Department of Veterans Affairs. Nearly 100 lawmakers are raising alarms, claiming the VA is rolling back anti-discrimination protections—specifically for transgender veterans, women, LGBTQ veterans, and others considered “vulnerable.” But is this really about discrimination, or is it about stopping taxpayer-funded gender surgeries and political activism inside veteran healthcare?

The Silent Wounds of War: The Hidden Roll of Blast Injuries

This week on the Richard Leonard Show talk about the growing concern among U.S. Senators about the long-term effects of repetitive low-level blast injuries on military personnel, particularly the connection to mental health and brain injuries.

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 🇺🇸!
