"A really enthusiastic walk" That's a fucking Hellsing ultimate abridged reference

HLC commenting on current events without making jokes wasn't on my bingo card. Then again, neither was attempted Trump assassination, so I guess we're full of surprises this week.

My God, your acting, sir. When America is panicked trying to find something else to talk about instead of acknowledging what UK was obviously going to talk about got me choked up. You absolutely parked the characters emotions on this. Bravo sir.

Australian watcher here. Even though I have absolutely no connection to American politics. I can recognize the guts it takes to have a non biased view on an event like this. Props to you HLC for being a calm voice in a moment of chaos

I'm convinced Franklin will become immortal and pilot a future upgraded Buff alongside a certain group called the Guardians of the Galaxy

As a Canadian resident who hears about the event, we are extremely saddened to hear about the event. We will stand with you America, as brothers in arms 🇨🇦🤜🤛🇺🇸

Well said. Retired Navy here and I’m as horrified by last Saturday’s events as I was by January sixth. Our country is better than this and we need to stand up for what is right.

Thank you for the PSA. It's nice to hear a breath of sanity in the wild.

"Very enthusiastic walks." Alucard flying an F-22 would be the ideal timeline.

As someone from Slovakia, where we had this exact thing happen 2 months ago, you have my condolences USA. I hope this does not become a standard practice in both our countries.

One of my favorite parts of the Kevin Costner version of "Swing Vote" was at the end when both campaign managers came together and agreed to focus on the issues instead of doing smear campaigns and fake promises

The best comedians understand that sometimes, there's just no joke to be made. You're right, HLC, I hope we aren't too obsessed with political hatred as a country to realize it. Well done. ❤

Enthusiastic walks? Just as Alucard intended

Well said Mr. HLC, we all need to take s step back, a deep breath and a look at ourselves and how we treat others... God bless America and all she stands for

HLC has a great message about what happened. I've thought for a while now that our politics has gone from a "loyal opposition" mentality to a "enemy across the aisle" and it is sad. And I agree our own media outlets and social media don't help matters. We need to do better!

Kudos HLC, stated with the emotion of a true patriot who wants to see the best of America and Americans.

Thank you, I needed to hear that, I have fallen victim to all this b.s. way too much. I served in the Marine Corp with a green card, my dad did the same in the 60s before needing to return home to raise his siblings because his father died. He always told me to stay away from politics because he lived through political violence as a young man back in the home country and it would only make you crazy. I asked him one day why we came to the U.S. The old man simply said, there is something about this country I love, no matter what these politicians do, or tragedies unfold. The people in this country always figure it out, which we really always seem to do. I am still a proud Naturalized American Citizen, and I still love my country. The politicians, maybe not so much. Thank you for this channel.

That message there towards the end. THAT IS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AMERICAN. Not only do you serve our country, you understand the values you fight for. That is what it means to be a patriotic American. None of this political bullcrap of never ending mudslinging, instead of doing what's right for the people, is helping anyone but the elites (media companies in particular) that profit off of it.

Well said, HLC. I'm not American, I'm Australian, but that was just wonderfully put. You are right, more people need to hear that, thank you for putting your jokes aside for one video to address something very important not just to you and your countrymen, but to the western world at large. You earned a lot of respect today, please keep up the good work, and keep us laughing.

I 100 percent agree with you on this. This is the reason I enjoyed your channel you factual and informative and respectful kept up the good work

Who would have thought that years of nurturing division and hate may have consequences?

Well said man, people will take advantage of this situation to divide us more, but at the end of the day we are all Americans, let’s not forget that.

Well said. It is sad what politics have become. Still Canada's line was perfect!

Thank you HLC for pausing and asking us all to pause, take a step back and look at ourselves, to reflect on recent events, to find the things that bring us together.

As an American, it pissed me off. As an American I have no one to blame but those who have made it their agenda to put is against each other. Damn it, UNITED WE STAND! DIVIDED WE FALL!

"whatta doing here?" "Oh you know, just flyin around" "Flyin around?" "Flying around." "Thwartin my plans?" "Thwartin your plans?" "ARE YOU" "No?" "Good, cause that'd be bad" "How bad?" "I'd have to x.x you" "Oh thats bad." "Indeed..." -TFS: DBZA "I take REAL enthusiastic walks." -TFS: Hellsing abridged Side note; I have so much respect for you. Thank you.

HLC: You are a modern day GOD SEND!!!! You covered that BEAUTIFULLY 👍🏻🇺🇸🫡🙏

Thank you for speaking on thsi, HLC. Hearing you speak earnestly straight to your viewers and from the heart *as America* hit me harder than I was really prepared for.

I’m not even American and that pissed me off. “War is the failure of diplomacy” -Napoleon Bonaparte.

the kid pulling up like Alucard, pray he doesnt get lost because hes on the verge of eating his own wings to keep himself tame

This isn't a democracy, this is a Constitutional Republic. Other then that, great episode.

As a Canadian, our politics have gravitated to the same extremism. That event could just as easily happened here. I do hope that your leaders are sincere in wanting to reel it back and focus on real issues affecting your people. I hope my country has the sense to take what happened in your country as a warning to back off with the personal attacks and focus on real issues.

You are correct that there are people who need to hear this. Unfortunately, those people are not listening.

"When the sorry stops the war crimes starts" God I love my Canadian friends your all crazy enough for me lol and I'm sorry you even had to make this video as your right should've NEVER taken place my sympathy to those caught in the crossfire of this debacle

Thanks! We need to hear more people speak like this. God bless you bro! I love your content.

Was that a hellsing abridged reference with the “real enthusiastic walks.” Because i am here for it 😂😂😂

You handled this beautifully. Thank you for your humor and your thoughtful insight. With folk like you, we can and will do better.

On a serious note, you’re absolutely right. This system is broken, from the politics, to the media, to how we get our information. It’s all part of the problem, but I don’t see an easy solution for this, not without all of us taking several hard looks at things

Very well said brother, this one just shows how very intelligent you are, glad to have you ❤️

Excellent point HLC. Its time to stop having politicians vilify each other and start having them talk about what they will do to help people, all over the world. I also say that we need to stop looking at the others across the aisle as enemies, but as people.

Unfortunately, the people who need to hear it most of all wouldn't be willing to listen to begin with.

British fan here. Very well said! Your love for your country always shows through in your videos. But this speaks to humanity itself. Keep up the good work 👏

To quote Stephen the Irish from Braveheart, "Nice speech." But after so many YEARS of hearing that half the country is worse than Yahtzees, this is something that's going to take more than coming together in the moment to fix. If any good comes from this, it'll be that the purveyors of these sentiments learn that words have consequences, so use free speech wisely.

Not crossing any lines there HLC well said well put GOD BLESS AMERICA! 🙏 MY deepest condolences to Corey Compentore and his family HE IS A TRUE HERO as a father I would have done the same...thank you for your public service and u wavering fatherhood ❤

I really appreciate your stance in this and the political neutrality. HLC is the American I grew up to admire when I was little: the cool big brother of the free west. Some say that doesn’t exist or is a lie, I say look at people like HLC.

I really wish our politics were more about voting on ideas to make the nation better, but instead it seems we are stuck with two parties saying the other is evil.

Great speech , equals great respect. You have mime.

God damn it, this one hit hard. Never stop being who you are. Thank you! 💯

Very well put! I was raised to not to see the world as black and white, one side or the other. Focus on what unites us, not what divides us. We might not always see eye to eye, but yes: we're better than this. Even the people that don't like him, seeing them say this was completely uncalled for? Restored some of my faith in humanity.

They’re always great when they open with Britain saying “American” in a concerned

Sir. . . . You said it perfectly. Like 100% agree. Thank you, good sir!!!!!!!

Good point. Too many people on both sides would rather spend time dehumanizing and vilifying one another than to focus on what can make America better. It's supposed to be the UNITED States of America, not the Divided States. People are caught up in a fog that clouds their vision.

@Habitual Linecrosser You're a great man, we need people like you in the media I swear. Make the news worth watching again. Not something to fear or vang our heads against the wall for the stupidity of it all. Take care.Rock of the Marne

if HLC has legitimately not seen Hellsing Ultimate Abridged.... he needs to

That last line brother. I felt that in my soul

Solid good speech over the humor all day every day. I love your jokes, love your channel; never apologize for taking the time to spread awareness. Solid delivery, thank you Habitual Line Crosser.

This is why your type of content remains to be my current favorite. You are a great individual with a solid mindset and we need more people like you to actually be out there

Here, here!! Well said! We need to come together as the United States of America.

HLC: "look, I can't make a joke out of this" AC: "hold my beer, we're doing an emergency meme review"

This is not something that can continue. This is not something that should have happened. AMEN and PREACH!!!!

LOL "a really enthusiastic walk" love the Hellsing Ultimate Abridged reference

Thank you! Thank you for your honest speech and may all your endeavors be blessed.

Bless you HLC!!! Perfect message 100%!!!

A bit of comedy to help the heart felt, and much needed words of wisdom be received with hopefully an open mind. To those out there in the USA. The best way to make change is get out there, and vote, volunteer, show empathy. If you don't like or do like the candidate that was voted in last time, politely, and respectfully debate with others. Voting is the best way to show a politician they are doing the right thing / they messed up.

Very well said. We are better than this. We have forgotten who we are and what we stand for. This cannot continue. We have to remember what this great nation stands for. Thank you for what you said. You are spot on.

Great message at the end, more people should listen to it and, most importantly, follow it

Thank you! People need to hear this.

Well said. Well said! And the part about a prosthetic leg. Priceless

Japanese Proverb: Don't Touch the Boats!

That was one of the most balanced, measured and logical responses I've seen come out of all this. Well said, well played and well done, sir. o7

Bro, that was a damn solid speech!!! Extremely well put, and more importantly, it is genuinely what so many people need to hear right now.

Your message at the end resonated with me and made me reevaluate where I stand on the people I disagree with politically. Thank you.

There is so much good in USA, the land of freedom, never forget it, always cherish and protect it. God bless America 🇺🇸🗽 From France, with love ❤🇫🇷

😂😂 " franklin..ur supposed to get me the keys u have little people hands" 😂😂

Saying facts even without the jokes. HLC is saying what us true patriots are thinking. The eagle flies on both wings not one.

There was a headlines on Forbes saying will Trump use this as a excuse to get more black voters because they dodge bullets all the time.

Sending love from across the pond! ✌

Bravo! Well said!! My feelings on this are as follows....left wing or right wing,it's still We the people of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!! let me reiterate, left wing or right wing, we are still connected to the same bird!!!

Fun fact: US Army researchers found a way to listen in on all frequencies a few years ago

Thank you HLC, I just lost a Marine friend and this is the last thing he would want. Politics aside, we are Americans and we need to be strong. E Pluribus Unum

HLC delivering the message everyone needed to hear. We are all Americans and united we stand, divided we fall. Extremism has gotten too extreme.

Thank you HLC, thank you for saying what NEEDS to be said.

Well said buddy. Your sentiment is exactly how I felt. I realized the first thing everyone was asking was political affiliation. I realized I didn’t care about that and only wanted to see an end to the irrational behavior. “A house divided cannot stand.” We all must do better. Whether to be the example for others to follow or be the example of the standard which we hold others too.

As a non-american, worried about the future, it brings me a little bit of hope to hear someone say this. Thank you.

"Where'd you get the prosthetic leg" YES FRANKLIN SHALL NOW AND FOREVER BE KNOWN AS ROCKET

I can be just as incompetent as the Secret Service. Maybe I should get a cushy government paycheck.

HLC is my favorite person and what he has to say about things is great! United we stand divided we fall everyone needs to understand that!!

Excellent ending, but don't you think you can sneak that Hellsing Ultimate Abridged quote by me that easily

Well done HLC. Needed to be said, and I'm glad I heard it.

As a fellow American with military ties(father and mother both USAF) I agree with your words and sentiment, I would say this as well, people need to get educated again, because we are suffering through the things Ike warned us about. When we stopped caring for our brothers and sisters we became strangers to them. We must do better.

Enthusiastic walks...I'm sensing a Hellsing Abridged reference here...

Remember The Iron Giant? How Hogarth tells it "You are who you choose to be," and it chooses not to be a gun? Be like the Iron Giant. Maybe you won't be Superman, but you don't have to be a gun.

I dont usually give upvotes but you sir earned one with your great wisdom on the touchy subject of American politics.

It needed to be said. I'd like to see the news media listen.

HLC using Hellsing 4-Star references is golden

As an Anglo-American, all I can say is Bravo HLC, Bravo.

The Hellsing Ultimate Abridged refeence is absolutely what I needed right now. Next, the Kid is gonna get his first air-to-air kill and say "Whoops! Dod ai just accidentally a war?"

Thank you HLC for saying that. I appreciate your sincerity and well-spoken stance. May God continue to bless you, your family and our country.

The first time America has ever said "Let's not talk about me."

EVERYONE needs to hear this. You are spot on. Thank you for putting it so succinctly.
