YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In this short clip, we share some wisdom from Hickock45, one of the elder statesmen of YouTube. I would like to see the American people take a deep breath, look at what is going on around us, what is happening to us, and where things are headed with a more clear, objective, and unified position outside of what politicians, media, and social media would have us believe. Most people I meet, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, or other Marxist check boxes, are largely decent folks who simply want to be safe, have some decent food for the families, have a decent place to live, have a few nice things, be treated with some dignity and courtesy, and live a good life. We now coddle criminals and we value foreign cultures over our own. Where have we gone so wrong and how can we recover?

About the Host: Chris Piehota is a former FBI Executive and trusted national security expert who provides rare insider insight into FBI law enforcement matters, intelligence operations, covert operational technology platforms, and America’s evolving security challenges. With decades of experience in counterterrorism, law enforcement leadership, and crisis response, he offers clear, candid perspectives on government, technology, and the future of global security. Before joining the FBI, he worked in the NASA Space Shuttle program and served with the U.S. Air Force. Chris is the author of "Wanted: The FBI I Once Knew", which is an insider view of what the FBI once was, how it ran off the rails in recent years, and what the bureau should be again for the American people. Chris currently serves as a subject matter expert and consultant where he delivers strategic guidance and advisory regarding national security matters, cyber operations, security practices, risk mitigation, leadership concepts, government business development, and organizational improvement approaches.

Channel Approach: The world does not have to suck, but there are some things we should talk about without hating each other or purposely seeking conflict. Things such as current events, standing social issues, and areas of lingering concern that are of interest to many people. Are you tired of "overly-scripted", highly "curated", and "conflict-based" content that has become the norm? Are you exhausted with content that looks like contrived takeoffs of the failed mainstream media? I am. So, I hope you will forgive me for a less generic, over-produced approach where ideas can be shared in a more informal fashion about what is going on for the ordinary people of the world. For the sake of real talk, minor recording mistakes will be included in this content.

Please let us know what you are interested in or what topics would be good to cover.
