What do you mean "what's going on right now"? The corruption and treason of a lying, narcistic psychopath like Donald Trump? Wayne wouldn't have supported Joe Biden, but after what happened on Jan. 6, 2021, I can't imagine he would blindly support Trump.

I want to teach my daughter The Lord's prayer. That's one of the nicest things I've ever heard John Wayne say. My dad love this man too as I love this man also. But I would have to say it's more than just that I love his movies. I love what he represented. The best that America and Heaven has to offer. Even if these things are ideals from having Heaven is real God is real Yeshua is real. And John Wayne might say this, you're done right it's real.

How misguided can you be? Trumps only love is himself……end of story! If you love your country, you don’t get your daddy to get some doctor to make up a BS medical report about your feet because you can’t use student deferments after you have graduated to stop you being drafted to fight for your country!
Great Clip!.. Thanks for sharing, exactly what I needed to hear! God Bless "The Several Union States of America" John Wayne was a legend because he was sovereign ie "The King In His Own Space"
Mr. J. Wayne, an American treasure and Patriot. A time when Men knew they were Men & Women knew they were Women and both genders were happy about it ! The silliness of the "trans trend" today would have the Duke shaking his head.
this nation is getting more and more empty ; we have lost so many people in the passing of years ; J F K ; M L K ; Ronald Reagan ; john wayne ; robin williams ; whitney houston ; bing crosby ; elvis presley ; norma jean ; Cassius Clay Jr ; bettie page ; Elizabeth Taylor ; andy worhol ; rhonda white ; Charlie Robinson ; Frank Silvera ; Yvonne De Carlo ; yma sumac and so much more R.I.P one and all
"We can get a Congress that will accept its responsibilities and its duties and not brush off all decisions on the executive and then just sit back and whine when that executive or the judicial branch takes more power than they deserve or are entitled to." Holy shit its like Wayne was foreshadowing the current period we are in NOW or is speaking to us from the grave! Spooky given some recent Supreme Court decisions and what the executive has done as of late!
Lol, you know 1968 America was an even more racist country right? And yet America has always had the thick skin to kidnap such values as "freedom" and "human rights" every year of its illegal existence.
seems strange that they don't seem to be paying much attention to him...a lot of milling around...etc...this really is a great speech, short and precise....and very insightful, emphasizing congress...knowing that it's the last hope of reigning in the Executive and Judicial branch...when they try to exercise power that they do not have...
the reason the crowd isn't compelled to listen is because what you are refusing to see is that this speech is an incoherent jumble of words that have no meaning; they don't speak to anyone then, now, or before. He is trying to make it like the election of Nixon v Humphrey was a real thing, as if it were legitimate. Because it was not a legitimate government then, by then, and now they have to try and put their cap (Trump) to crown the lot, but I say to you. Good luck little child, get in line and pray. Talk to yourself in your own mind, and that will be your ticket. Good for you. I say, because nothing else will do any good. You're acting in bad faith if you say John Wayne was anything but an incoherent sop of drivel in this speech.
United States of America...... what a country; all you 350m, you are so lucky. America is a serious and proper country, and the democracy and checks on balances is perfect. You may be doubting the situation given the crisis now, but from outside it looks like one of the finest countries in the world could go under because of these silly culture wars. And this is aimed at the MAGA crowd because that behaviour is just.... nuts.
He smoked 5 packs of Camel studs a day. He quit after he had a lung out in 1964. His very first appearance after that operation was a cameo on The Beverly Hillbillies and you can really see the toll it took on him. It was stomach cancer that killed him. But it was attributed not to the smoking, but to a set location in Utah in 1956 where the bomb had been previously tested. Out of 220 cast and crew members at that location, 91 contracted cancer and 46 of them died from it.
I thought it made perfect sense and was very straight forward and plainly spoken, unlike a lot of politicians who have a very contrived way of saying things.
There is no political party that cares. Unless we're talking about how they care about their cronies, kickbacks, and bribes. Politicians are greedy, narcissistic, and evil. It doesn't matter to which party they belong.

Comparing a phony billionaire con man from Queens to the Duke is an insult
The huge symbol right in the center of the screen really adds a lot.
He was the face of free America. Loved him and miss him. He was part of Holly wood that was good and patriotic, not like these days here in 2022.
Yep him Jimmy Stewart Dean Martin were all great
Wayne was a great man.
funny how he managed to avoid serving in all those wars...

It wouldn't have been a half bad idea. And he would have been a lot better than who DID get elected that year!

Benjamin Franklin is a hundred dollar bill.
And that how I feel about it,
Is that you John Wayne ? is this me ?

Maybe all politicians are actors!
"The party that cares". I've never seen his comedy before, it's really funny.

Smoke em if you got em.
He used to smoke. Somebody once asked him "Duke, when did you stop smoking?" To which he said "When living was more important to me than smoking."
