et him go with a warning. But next time, there will be serious consequences.”
“Thank you, Officer,” I said, feigning relief.
Jake hugged me tightly. “Thank you, thank you! I’ll never do anything like this again, I promise.”
We left the café, and once we were a safe distance away, I showed Jake the video.

“Jake, if you continue to behave like this, I’ll show this video to all your friends.”
Jake’s face fell. “You… you did this?”
“Yes, and it was for your own good. You need to understand that your actions have consequences.”
“I’m sorry, Lisa. I really am,” Jake said, looking genuinely remorseful.

From that day on, Jake’s behavior changed. He started helping around the house, treated Emma and Noah with respect, and even apologized to them.
“Hey, Emma, Noah, want to play a game?” Jake asked one evening.
“Sure!” Emma replied, surprised but happy.
Mark noticed the change too. “Jake’s different lately. What did you do?”

“Just gave him a little wake-up call,” I said with a smile.
The peace in our household was restored, and I felt a sense of satisfaction. It wasn’t easy, but it was worth it. I was committed to maintaining a respectful family environment, and it seemed like Jake finally understood the importance of that.

This John Wayne’s video is 47 years old. But I have never heard such Patriotic words! WOW!
This was one of the last scenes from John Wayne’s show, which debuted in 1970. Wayne hosted a variety show honoring American history and featured some of the biggest stars in the entertainment industry as guests.
Everything appears to be in place to create one of the most patriotic television shows ever, including the amazing crew in the video and the music and costume choices. THE VIDEO IS DOWN below.
I became aware of how much Hollywood has changed after viewing this film; these kinds of television shows are no longer available.
I mean no disrespect—the video was fantastic, and the performers were all excellent—but Dean Martin’s voice really took the cake! What a vocalist! Simply view the video below.
Never before have his words sounded so chilling!
