Summary

Sara and retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Daniel Gade discuss why the current government approach to disabled veterans is badly, and sometimes fatally, flawed. Col. Gade says the top goal of the VA should not be to make sure everyone gets their disability checks but to help veterans recover, get good jobs, and help their families thrive in the civilian world. Gade is the author of "Wounding Warriors: How Bad Policy is Making Veterans Sicker and Poorer."

Sara also takes aim at the FBI for it's latest politically-motivated raid, this time against Project Veritas and James O'Keefe. Sara explains why this raid should deeply bother Americans of all political persuasions. She also describes the mood on the ground in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where she awaits the verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial.
