Best of the Program | Guest: Justin Hoover | 11/11/24

Charlie Sheen is an icon of decadence.

I lit the fuse and my life turns into everything it wasn't supposed to be.

He's going the distance.

He was the highest paid TV star of all time.

When it started to change, it was quick.

He kept saying, No, no, no, I'm in the hospital now, but next week I'll be ready for the show.

Now, Charlie's sober.

He's gonna tell you the truth.

How do I present this with any class?

I think we're past that, Charlie.

We're past that, yeah.

Somebody call action.

Yeah, aka Charlie Sheen, only on Netflix, September 10th.

All right, you've got the best of today's podcast.

Donald Trump's newest plan to fight for you and clean out all the bureaucrats in Washington.

It is, it is almost a conservative sex tape.

It's that hot.

Also, SNL, welcome comedy back?

Really?

And with today's being Veterans Day, Justin Hoover talks about how we can help the veterans battling the silent battle.

The Berna launcher would honestly help your family out a great deal, I think.

Especially if you have a gun, but you're...

I'm not going to pull my gun out if I'm not prepared to kill somebody.

And there are times when your family will need that protection without killing people.

As the holidays approach, it's essential to recognize personal safety is a year-round priority, and crime tends to spike during this time of year.

What's coming next week, I got to tell you, I've got my Bernal Launcher with me at all times, and I suggest you do.

Hopefully nothing's going to break out, but if I'm going someplace and there's protests and everything else, I don't want my car surrounded by people, you know, and a little tear gas would help.

It's the Burna Launcher, a non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your family, your home, and teach somebody a very painful, non-lethal lesson.

It's legal in all 50 states.

No permits or background checks required.

It can be used by all age groups over 18.

Burna Launcher.

It'll incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes.

You're listening to

the best of the Glenbeck program.

Stu, this is like constitutional porn.

I just want to warn you.

I just want to warn you.

You might hear some sexy music in your own head.

You might be like, oh, yeah, ding-dong, pizza delivery.

You might hear that.

This is the most amazing thing I have heard any president ever say.

This is Donald Trump.

That's quite a standard.

Just, I want you to make a list.

Okay.

Just when he says, oh, and I'm going to do this, just make a list.

Okay.

This is his plan to

end the censorship cartel.

If we don't have free speech, then then we just don't have a free country.

It's as simple as that.

If this most fundamental right is allowed to perish, then the rest of our rights and liberties will topple.

Just like dominoes, one by one, they'll go down.

That's why today I'm announcing my plan to shatter the left-wing censorship regime.

and to reclaim the right to free speech for all Americans.

And reclaim is a very important word in this case because they've taken it away.

In recent weeks, bombshell reports have confirmed that a sinister group of deep state bureaucrats, Silicon Valley tyrants, left-wing activists, and depraved corporate news media have been conspiring to manipulate and silence the American people.

They have collaborated to suppress vital information on everything from elections to public health.

The censorship cartel must be dismantled and destroyed and it must happen immediately.

And here is my plan.

First, within hours of my inauguration, I will sign an executive order banning any federal department or agency from colluding with any organization, business, or person to censor, limit, categorize, or impede the lawful speech of American citizens.

I will then ban federal money from being used to label domestic speech as mis or disinformation.

And I will begin the process of identifying and firing every federal bureaucrat who has engaged in domestic censorship, directly or indirectly, whether they are the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Health, Human Services, the FBI, the DOJ, no matter who they are.

Second, I will order the Department of Justice to investigate all parties involved in the new online censorship regime, which is absolutely destructive and terrible, and to aggressively prosecute any and all crimes identified.

These include possible violations of federal civil rights law, campaign finance laws, federal election law, securities law, and antitrust laws, the Hatch Act, and a host of other potential criminal, civil, regulatory, and constitutional offenses.

To assist in these efforts, I am urging House Republicans

to immediately send preservation letters, and we have to do this right now, to the Biden administration, the Biden campaign, and every Silicon Valley tech giant, ordering them not to destroy evidence of censorship.

Third, upon my inauguration as president, I will ask Congress to send a bill to my desk revising Section 230 to get big online platforms out of censorship censorship business.

From now on, digital platforms should only qualify for immunity protection under Section 230 if they meet high standards of neutrality, transparency, fairness, and non-discrimination.

We should require these platforms to increase their efforts to take down unlawful content such as child exploitation and promoting terrorism while dramatically curtailing their power to arbitrarily restrict lawful speech.

Fourth, we need to break up the entire toxic censorship industry that has arisen under the false guise of tackling so-called myths and disinformation.

The federal government should immediately stop funding all nonprofits and academic programs that support this authoritarian project.

If any U.S.

university is discovered to have engaged in censorship activities or election interferences in the past, such as flagging social media content for removal of blacklisting, those universities should lose federal research dollars and federal student loan support for a period of five years and maybe more.

We should also enact new laws laying out clear criminal penalties for federal bureaucrats who partner with private entities to do an end run around the Constitution and deprive Americans of their First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendment rights.

In other words, deprive them of their vote.

And once you lose those elections and once you lose your borders like we have, you no longer have a country.

Furthermore, to confront the problems of major platforms being infiltrated by legions of former deep staters and intelligence officials, there should be a seven-year calling-off period before any employee of the FBI, CIA, NSA, DNI, DHS, or DOD is allowed to take a job at a company possessing vast quantities of U.S.

user data.

Fifth, the time has finally come for Congress to pass a digital Bill of Rights.

This should include a right to digital due process.

In other words, government officials should need a court order to take down online content, not send information requests such as the FBI was sending to Twitter.

Furthermore, when users of big online platforms have their content or accounts removed, throttled, shadow banned, or otherwise restricted, no matter what name they use, they should have the right to be informed that it's happening, the right to a specific explanation of the reason why, and the right to a timely appeal.

In addition, all users over the age of 18 should have the right to opt out of content moderation and curation entirely and receive an unmanipulated stream of information if they so choose.

The fight for free speech is a matter of victory or death for America and for the survival of Western civilization itself.

When I am president, this whole rotten system of censorship and information control will be ripped out of the system at large.

There won't be anything left.

By restoring free speech, we'll begin to reclaim our democracy and save our nation.

Thank you, and God bless America.

Wow.

I mean, that is the first thing that strikes me on that is just how different it was than 2016.

That's not a guy who's just like walking in.

I don't know, who should we pick?

Like, that's somebody who has a plan.

That is, that's one of the exciting things: this is so detailed, even just what he said.

You know, there's much more

than this behind each one of these and so

thought behind all of this.

This is a guy who has sat there for

at least the last two years, probably the last four years, going, all right, I get a second chance.

What do we do?

What do we do?

This is the most comprehensive thing I've ever heard a Republican

president ever lay out.

Now, the Democrats do it, but usually they do it in a bill of about 3,000 pages, and you just don't find out until after you're just like the happy meal bill.

Right.

You know, and you're like, wait, is this for happy meal?

You mean like the Inflation Reduction Act?

Yeah, yeah, kind of like that.

Oh, okay.

I mean, look at the list.

Yeah, I mean, there's a lot in there.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Going after the federal employees colluding to censor speech.

And put them in jail.

Taking the federal money

away from people

who are kind of walking that line and drawing our guardrails on mis and disinformation.

That's that, what was that name of that organization over in England that we helped start?

Yeah, yeah.

All the people that were involved in that.

Bye-bye.

And I think like a lot of the people on the left and the media will take that as like, oh, he just wants to be able to say conspiracy theories and not be fact-checked.

And that's just not.

The truth is that the federal government should have no role in that.

None.

It's up to, you want to have a media organization.

It's not going to stop ABC News from doing misinformation reporting, as dumb as it might be.

No.

It's just going to stop federal money going through that process, which is totally appropriate for a country that has a First Amendment.

Correct.

Prosecuting crimes that happen.

I'm sure they'll say this is punishing enemies, but in reality,

they commit a crime that they're supposed to do.

And this is a constitutional crime.

Government getting involved in freedom of speech.

That's a constitutional crime.

And sending preservation letters so that these suits can go forward.

So they're not like clearing out, deleting all these files now before he gets into office.

That's tough, and that's going to be, by the way, not something

he can do personally.

That's going to be something senators and such.

That's why he said they have to send that right away.

I mean, look, all of this, I think, is good.

Is there any part in there that makes you at all nervous?

There's a couple points in there that I could see going the wrong way if we're not careful, which is rewriting Section 230.

Yes, that could be done.

That could be,

there's nothing wrong with rewriting Section 230, but you just have to

be careful with it.

Well, what he said is

as long as you have quality

neutrality, you have to qualify for that and you should ban things that are illegal, you know, child porn, terrorism, things like that.

And that is theoretically already there, but we have really loose standards on these companies for enforcing it.

It's basically like if you get multiple requests to take some material down and you don't, you can be in trouble.

But generally speaking, like

they are, they don't have to take action to go get the stuff.

They have to just wait for it to be reported to them and then they have to do it after that process.

But the process, of course, is really weak, right?

You have millions and millions and millions of posts going up.

They would argue that it's impossible to get to all of it.

Oh well.

Oh well.

Oh no, maybe you don't get to be as large a company.

Right.

Maybe, maybe, you know what?

Maybe, I mean, look, my, of course, course, fantasy here is that, eh, maybe this doesn't work within the law and the social media companies just go away.

That would be tragic.

That would be terrible.

Now, of course, Zorin, Max Zorin of Zorin Industries,

if you go back to A View to a Kill, the documentary from 1985,

I believe that was a James Bond movie.

Actually,

he advocated for explosives under the earth that would cause a earthquake that would flood all of Silicon Valley.

Now, he didn't get to that, unfortunately.

I was was waiting for that as one of the action steps for the new Trump administration.

Didn't quite get there.

But, I mean, that's just that maybe that's step seven.

We'll get there eventually.

The digital bill of rights is so important.

Yep, that was interesting.

I mean, what's interesting about that is you have a right to go without an algorithm.

Love that.

And it's interesting because

Europe has a digital bill of rights.

I would assume it's not going to look very much like the Trump Bill.

But it is,

first of all, there are some similarities.

It's like you own your own data.

That is a big part.

That's the concept behind the European one.

Some of those concepts you could say are good, and I'm sure will be brought over.

But also just the idea that, you know, you don't have to be manipulated by this.

Now, it's tough because you should be able to run a website that you own.

Yes.

Right.

Like the Blaze should not need to go neutral and

give all sorts of information from the left, right?

Like, we should be able to do what we want to do with our own website.

Now, there's that distinction between publisher and sort of curator,

a social network, that I think will probably be the line there.

But again, the details matter on this stuff, as we've seen over and over and over again.

If you don't get that exactly right, it could be a problem.

But I mean, you know,

that's what the process will be for.

I think the idea, first of all,

you're a public square now.

This is where

people

hate the public square argument.

It's digital now.

I know.

Nobody gets on their soapbox and we're walking in our town square and we see somebody stand up and say, I want to give a sleep.

If you want a town square, then, you know, then

it's like, then make a town square.

These are companies that have spent their own money on this.

I understand.

I just feel like they should be.

Look,

there's a lot here that I understand and I think is a good thing.

Making essentially just turning giant private companies into utilities makes me nervous.

No, I'm not saying that.

I mean, should Elon Musk have to deal with all that?

No, he bought the company.

No, no, no.

He, if he, I mean, when is the next, the next government, the next time the Democrats get in control and they take this public square and they make their own rules with it makes me really nervous.

I, I get, I get what he's saying.

I think that the, I think we'll be able to walk this line, but let's be honest that we have to walk a line here and just be careful here.

I agree with that.

Okay.

But you have you have things like an algorithm.

You have a right right to unmask.

I don't have a right to necessarily know their algorithm, but I do have a right to say, you know what, I don't want you filtering stuff.

Why don't you have a right to do that?

And this is the sort of thing that they should have just done.

Yeah, it is.

You know, it wouldn't have been an issue if they just did it.

It would have been easy.

They should have just had an off button, but they couldn't bring themselves to do that because they wanted, A, money, and B, to control the public opinion.

How many people will their eyes be opened if you have that and you just say just unmask it just unmask it for a week see what you see be pretty amazing yeah

Now back to the podcast.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

The year was 2016.

The election has just been lost

to Donald J.

Trump.

Hillary Clinton didn't even show up.

I mean, it's exactly the same thing.

She left her supporters in the lurch.

Then Saturday, Saturday Night Live comes on, and this is their opening sketch.

I heard there was a secret chord that David played, and it pleased the Lord.

But you don't really care for me.

So far no laughs.

Well it goes like this, the four

name is

dressed as

Hillary Clinton, the baffled king, looking like Hillary Clinton,

just playing the piano.

I mean, and it goes on like that.

He didn't stop.

There's no humor to it at all.

And then they're like, from New York, it's Saturday night from New York.

What is that?

All right.

This is what they did this time.

To many people, including many people watching this show right now, the results were shocking and even horrifying.

Donald Trump, who tried to forcibly overturn the results of the last election, was returned to office by an overwhelming majority.

This is the same Donald Trump who openly called for vengeance against his political enemies.

And that is why we at SNL would like to say to Donald Trump, we

have been with you all along.

We have never wavered in our support of you, even when others doubted you.

Every single person on this stage believed in you.

Every single person on this stage voted for you.

Because we see ourselves in you.

We look at you and think, that's me.

That's the man I want my future children to look up to.

And Mr.

Trump, Your Honor, we know that you say things that are controversial sometimes, but really you're just speaking the truth.

And I hate how the lame stream media, Michael Che, tries to spin it to make you look foolish.

So if you're keeping some sort of list of your enemies, then...

We should not be on that list.

I mean, it's not the greatest sketch of of all time but at least they attempted to have fun

humor right yeah at least it wasn't coming out and playing the piano and a dirge yeah you know that was a funeral yeah it was a funeral and that's how they felt so then bill burr came out and he was funny as usual uh and uh and and hit both sides which fine i'm cold i'm totally cool with I don't care if you hit both sides.

It's why the Simpsons, how do they not know this?

This is why The Simpsons are so popular.

Because you know if they're hitting one side, they're going to hit the other just as hard.

Hello?

Is anybody listening?

So maybe comedy is back.

Because, yeah, because it seems like in 2016, they felt it seemed like this once-in-a-lifetime mistake to them.

Like, this is, I can't believe this happened.

You know, and I think like when he gets elected a second time, you just kind of have to be like, oh, this is kind of just like your reality.

Like, whatever world you think exists doesn't exist.

Whatever world an SNL comedian is surrounded by on a daily basis is not a real world.

No.

It's a very small part of a real world.

Yeah.

But it is not real.

It's not real life.

Well, maybe they're understanding that a little bit.

Well, I mean, it's very real.

Once you have women saying

they're not going to have sex with men for four years now.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And it gets real fast, Stu.

Does it?

It gets real fast.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

I want to know, is anyone

in this listening audience, is your husband or wife saying that to you?

I'd like to talk to you.

I can't imagine.

Can you?

No.

No,

that's not.

I feel like we do get into this world where we highlight the craziest people on the internet and make them into stories.

And like, I think that's only insane people are doing that, right?

uh hang on just a second we have wow candy uh is on the phone hello candy hello glenn

candy

i'm good how are you i'm very very well and i i heard you ask for people who have refused to have sex after this trump

this this trump hindlan right has been elected or selected to be president of the united states okay so are you married, Candy?

I am not.

You're not.

Surprise.

And

so you've sworn off sex.

I have.

I've sworn off sex.

No more candy for you.

None of my sweet treats coming your way.

That's.

That's good.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, people, you know, you people look at me all the time.

I see them look at me up and down as I walk down the street.

I bet.

And they're seeing, they're looking at it and saying, look at that.

Look at that thing.

And I see, I know what they mean.

Yeah.

A lot of times they'll walk up to me and they'll say, oh, yeah,

look at that.

And then they'll say,

they'll say, hey, baby.

And then they'll walk away in the other direction quickly.

And I take that as they just are so turned on.

They can't resist.

They don't want to embarrass themselves.

So because of Trump,

you've started not having sex with anyone.

Well,

I've upped my game.

What do you mean you've upped your game?

Because of Trump.

What do you mean you've upped your game?

Well,

I've been sexless since 1992-ish.

1992-ish.

Yeah, well, let's see.

It was 80.

Yeah, 99.

Well, it was more like

92 is when I stopped having sex, but that was because people didn't want to have sex with me at that time.

But I gave it all up.

I withheld it from the men starting in about 1995.

So, Candy, you know how people say that men are only interested in sex.

Oh, yeah, they are.

Yeah.

And that makes women just objects.

But that's what they say, yeah.

Yeah, that's what they say.

Well, wouldn't you be kind of confirming that by holding sex back?

Isn't that you saying I'm nothing but a sex object?

I'm just acknowledging the reality.

People want me

sexually glad.

Have you seen some of the ladies online that are

I've seen?

Oh, yeah, they're very, very attractive.

I mean, look,

I'm not going to say I'm a perfect 10.

Right.

What are you?

I'm more like an 8.5 out of 100.

So

I think that.

How are you scoring the 8?

8 out of 100.

Just like the normal scrolling.

I didn't realize there was 92 other choices.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

There's a lot of them up there.

Wow.

Because I said I'm not going to give you this.

Ever since they nominated that hate monger,

Bob Dole.

Wait.

I was like, I'm out.

You're Bob.

No more.

Right.

No more sense for you.

Right, because Bob Dole.

This is a Dole-related protest that I will not give up on.

now.

This isn't just happening because you're hideously ugly.

How dare you?

I know.

I'm sorry.

I'm only, I'm just asking.

You should see what I'm wearing right now.

Do you want to hear?

Not really.

Let's go because I think it would repulse the audience.

We'd have no listeners left.

So I'll hold it back.

Okay.

All right.

I'll hold it back.

But I will say

there's some

very, this velvet, I'm wearing some velvet.

you're wearing velvet red velvet red velvet

I What I'm saying is I'm currently covered in cake.

That's what I'm saying to you

Stupid.

Okay, it's good that we have a good diverse audience and that's what's that's as important with this show, you know very good very good all different types all different types

Different strokes.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

It is Veterans Day, and there are a ton of veterans now that are homeless, which is absolutely

inexcusable.

What we're doing with people that are coming from other countries who haven't given any service to our nation at all, and we're putting them up and we're giving them food and everything else.

That is an abomination,

especially in comparison to what our veterans have done for us.

They come back, they're wounded mentally or physically, some of them both.

Many of them

struggle.

I'm sorry, but the

VA is also an abomination.

I mean, everybody's like, oh, I really want, you know, socialized medicine.

Really?

Talk to a veteran.

See how they get the shaft.

If they'll give these guys, our war heroes, that crappy of health care, what do you think you're going to get?

Well,

one of my mottos has always been, if we wanted the government to do less, we have to do more.

And there's a lot of really great

groups out there to help veterans.

A new one that I have found that I really, really like is the battle within.

And I've asked the executive director to come on with me.

His name is Justin Hoover.

And you can find this at thebattlewithin.org, thebattlewithin.org.

When I was up in Kansas City, I met with him, and he's got an incredible story to tell.

Justin, welcome.

Thank you so much, Glenn.

So great to be with you here on Veterans Day.

Yeah, thank you.

So, Justin,

tell me your story.

Sure.

Yeah.

So really, my story starts in Iraq.

I was in Tal Afar, Sinjar region.

I know when you were in Kansas City, we talked about you being there.

It's where the Yazidi got chased up the mountain of death.

And so that was really my AO.

And I spent a year, just shy of a year, there.

There was a lot of heavy fighting that went on.

I ended up coming home with a pair of purple hearts.

First one, thanks to some small arms fire to the face.

And the second one, Kurt

Bummer,

left me full of some shrapnel that I had to get Medebach out of country to get tended to and ended up resulting coming home.

And after that, you know, Glenn, I really felt like I had all my stuff together.

I got out of the military, came back to Kansas City, was really moving on with my life and forward with my life for the next 10 years.

And it wasn't until my stepdaughter hit high school and was really suffering from depression and suicidality that all the things that I suppressed, you know, I'll just say kids should never be in a war zone.

And I, all the times when I couldn't help those children in the way that I wanted were kind of replaying itself in my living room.

And just that hopelessness and helplessness just really drove me and my mental health into a dark place.

And fortunately, my wife recognized it and was able to convince me.

to actually tend to it.

And that's when I really started my own journey and my own path towards getting better myself.

How'd you do it?

Well, I was very fortunate.

You know, I tried different services.

You know, I tried with the VA.

And I'll say we're often our own biggest barrier, right?

There's a lot of barriers.

Wait, you're breaking up.

Are you there?

Oh, can you?

I am.

Are you able to hear me?

Yeah, I am now.

Go ahead.

There we go.

So, you know, we're off on our own biggest barriers to our mental health.

And I was very fortunate because now our clinical manager, Adam Adriers, had designed a program that I went through, and it was just so life-changing.

And I knew I needed to stay involved in this community.

And that really kind of led to the Battle Withins creation just as a way to pay it forward to others that have been in that same space that

I was.

And because it really allowed me to be the

family man, the father, the partner, the parent that I wanted to be.

It allowed me to really have the self-confidence and find myself again to be able to be a leader of an organization, to be able to provide that mental health for others.

So

you came home and you didn't necessarily, I mean, I don't want to make this such a blanket statement, but you didn't necessarily fight for what you or fight with what you had done.

It's what you couldn't do or

didn't do, the saving of others.

Is that right?

Sure.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And, you know, everyone's story is so unique and so personal to their own.

But for me, you know, really,

I felt I had 10 fingers, 10 toes.

I kept seeing all these

organizations helping veterans, and a lot of them were amputees or burn victims, of which there were guys in my unit that that had applied to.

And so I really felt, hey,

I'm good to go.

I don't want to take services from somebody else.

I know there's limited resources and I want it to go to them.

And so

we all do that, right?

Because we are these selfless servants.

And so there's always that call to just

allow others that need it worse.

And I always tell people now, it's kind of like a mash casualty event, like when an IED goes off, you don't tell the medic, no, I'm good to go.

The medic triages you all and tells you, hey, you need services now or you need them here in a little bit and ranks you on who gets to go on the medevac bird first.

And so really that's that's what we do at the Battle Within is we help people get started on that path to healing.

And

that was really the struggle for me is

finding both the courage and the permission to allow myself that healing process.

So this is free to veterans, if I'm not mistaken.

What is

what do you do?

What is like the five-day program?

Go ahead.

yeah great question and as you said yes it is free to our veterans and first responders throughout the entire nation and really what we do at the battle within during our five-day revenue journey is we really take these people that that come in really most of them hopeless and we give them that opportunity to fully understand and explore those traumas that they've endured in service to us all and that's very hard to do right because you don't want

to

you don't want to expose those parts of yourself because in our professions there's a lot of shame and stigma that goes with that right these are team sports they're life or death sports if i share that i'm not in a good place then you're hurting the team to get kicked out of the yeah that's a good way to get kicked out of the family unit so to really allow them a place where they can come and share that are these doctors honored and respected are these doctors or veterans clinicians yeah we have clinicians that lead the program several of them are veterans themselves We also have peer support that are previous graduates, that are veterans or first responders, that come back and really hold the space help process and be there for these folks as they go through what's a very challenging but rewarding week.

So here we are on Veterans Day.

Give me your pitch to any veteran who might be listening who is struggling or any family member that knows of somebody who is struggling.

You know, I would just say that there is a place that understands what you're going through, that cares what you're going through, and believes that you're worth it.

And I think that that is such a challenge where veterans get into this isolated place where they believe that nobody understands, nobody cares, and that they're not worth it.

And that is the perfect recipe for isolation, depression, and ultimately suicide.

And so if you are struggling with whatever in your life,

please reach out for help, either through the Battle Within or to someone else.

That first step is the hardest step, but it gets so much easier and there is hope.

And that's really what we bring at the Battle Within is we bring that hope, we bring those tools, we bring that community of support to really allow people to reclaim their life and to

really have the life that they've earned and that they deserve for themselves and their family.

I will tell you that I'm a recovering alcoholic and you get to a point where you like, nothing can help me.

Nothing can help me.

It's just me, I'm the problem.

And you've just boxed yourself into this corner where there's no way out.

And if you happen to be listening right now and you feel like, yeah, but it's not going to work for me, please call them.

Also, if you are

somebody who has money,

they can offer this for free because of big donations.

So if you can donate anything, go to thebattlewithin.org.

That's thebattlewithin.org.

Make a donation, or if you or somebody you love, check out all of the information and spread this, please.

It is Veterans Day, and there is no excuse for any veteran to be suffering right now.

There's none.

And we want to make sure, and I know you feel the same way, that our veterans are treated with the respect and the dignity that they deserve.

So go to thebattlewithin.org.
