In this episode, I go on another rant expressing my disappointment in the people of the United States who believe that our country should not support or help the men, women, and children of Ukraine in their struggle against Russian military tyranny. If you live in the US, please be better! Please help the people of Ukraine! They do not deserve to suffer and die!

In this video, I rant about how most people in the United States feel that we should not support or aid the people of Ukraine and should instead focus on our own people. I use the Berlin Airlift as an example of how we should help those in need, rather than sitting by and letting their suffering continue to occur.

In this episode, I have a real, straight-talk conversation with old school United Statesmen and women who think that the United States has its own culture, its own heritage, and who think that people who immigrate here need to abandon their culture and adopt "our culture." Throughout the episode, I go over the reasons why we don't have our own culture, our own heritage, our own anything. I go over the fact that the United States is a country of many cultures, as we were founded by people from all walks of life, and that therefore, the culture of the United States is the world.
