This week on The Richard Leonard Show, I break down a crisis that’s been hiding in plain sight—the rising suicide rates not just among veterans, but inside military families. What’s really driving this surge, why aren’t we talking about it more publicly, and how deep does this problem actually go? From a veteran’s perspective, I dig into the emotional and psychological toll of service on spouses and children, the cracks in support systems, and the realities of life behind the uniform. If the focus has only been on veterans this whole time, you’ve got to ask—how many others have we been overlooking? Brought to you by Cortez Wealth Management!

Psychological Warfare Gone Wild: Inside Project Sunshine
This week on The Richard Leonard Show, I break down one of the most bizarre ideas ever to come out of the Pentagon—the so-called “gay bomb”—and the deeper reality behind it. What were they really trying to do, how far did it go, and what does it say about modern warfare? From a veteran’s perspective, I dig into non-lethal weapons, psychological tactics, and the lengths governments will go to break an enemy without firing a shot. If something this outrageous made it to the proposal stage, you’ve got to ask—what else is out there that we’re not being told? Brought to you by Cortez Wealth Management!

Iran Strike: Justice, Payback, or More War?
This week on The Richard Leonard Show, I break down the President’s Iran speech and the deeper reality behind the conflict—what we’re being told, what we’re not, and why it matters. From a veteran’s perspective, I dig into Iran’s role, the true cost of war, and whether this moment brings accountability or just repeats the cycle. If there’s more beneath the surface, it’s time we start asking real questions. Brought to you by Cortez Wealth Management! Proudly supporting America First values 🇺🇸!

Army Recruitment Shift: Warning Sign or Smart Move?
This week on The Richard Leonard Show, I take a hard look at the United States Army raising its enlistment age and loosening standards. Is this a smart adjustment—or a warning sign of deeper recruitment and cultural issues? If these changes point to something bigger, it’s time we start asking why.

Brain Under Fire: The Invisible War Inside Our Veterans
This week on The Richard Leonard Show, I take a hard look at something we’re not talking about nearly enough—what repeated low-level blast exposure and toxic burn pits may really be doing to our veterans. Drawing from my own ongoing health battle, I break down the symptoms, the confusion, and the unanswered questions that too many of us are facing. If these invisible injuries are more common than we’re being told, it’s time we start asking why—and demand real answers. Brought to you by Cortez Wealth Management!

The Veteran Advantage: Why Those Who Served Are Winning Jobs
This week on The Richard Leonard Show, I take a look at something we don’t hear enough about in today’s news cycle—good news. Veteran unemployment is actually dropping, even as the national job market starts to weaken. Drawing from my years working in veteran employment services, I break down why employers are increasingly seeking out veterans and the real-world skills military service brings to the civilian workforce.
