47:38Now PlayingThe men and women of today’s U.S. military are fighting battles and facing challenges long after they leave the battlefield and return home. We’re learning more every day about the long-term health effects of exposure to toxic combat conditions in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. We’ll hear from Senate Veterans Affairs member Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.). and Rep. Raul Ruiz (D-Calif.), who is also a medical doctor, on their legislative efforts to ensure veterans receive the highest quality of healthcare. McClatchy reporter Tara Copp will join Ruiz to share what she’s learned from her exclusive investigations into two decades of potential toxic exposures to American soldiers.
Comedian and longtime veterans advocate Jon Stewart and Wounded Warrior Project director of Government Affairs Derek Fronabarger will also join to discuss their latest efforts on behalf of veterans facing health consequences from exposure to burn pits.
