I feel for you Jeffrey. My fathers cancer has spread to his liver and hes now on hospice care. Its tough. I think hes got less than a month. Today is his 70th birthday, so atleast hes made it to that. I cant imagine being a vet and having to cover that cost especially after what you went through at the request and demand of our government. I often think about how our country says it represents one thing, and then does the opposite. I feel as if our patriotism is blinding us from our failures and is an excuse used to prevent us from fixing things. As if stating that our system is broken is somehow an affront to the flag, despite the coverup being so much more of an insult to the sacrifices that were made on its behalf. I hope those doctors and nurses keep you well as you fight your latest battle. Keep strong friend.

I think we are blinded by patriotism. We use it as an excuse to coverup our failings. I use the example of colin Kaepernick kneeling for the flag. Many people think it was disrespectful, but I see it as the most respectful thing he could have done. To call out America for its hypocrisy is not to insult America, it is to make it better. That to me is more respectful of an endeavour than to ignore our failings and continue on like nothing is wrong. To ignore those failings is an insult to all of the sacrifices made to allow our fellow brothers and sisters the ability to prosper. That is the true insult to the flag.

@peterstafford4426 1. Hes a comedian, of course he loves attention. However, how does that exclude him from being able to pursue righteous activities? 2. You state the things he goes after are not controversial. This is not true, go watch his show or listen to his podcast, he is pursuing things that are very controversial. 3. I agree that helping veterans and first responders shouldn't be a controversial decision, but then why did it take him pushing it through for it to happen?

To agree with other people. The solution to solve the VA is to give everyone healthcare. The veterans can have a priority status if they want for their veterans issues.

Or be a presidential advisor. Being a president sucks. It's not a job for one person.

@EnglishMike is that 100,000 counting the ones who served in the war or the ones who are still alive now?

@shuheihisagi6689 they are saying our fight is underground. Secondly, jon is taking issues on his podcast that aren't well covered elsewhere (and thus are underground) and bringing them forth into the light.

@aratosm This is an argument that's always made and it's a terrible one. 1. My ability to LIVE shouldn't be tied to work. We shouldn't be slaves. 2. People will work regardless of the incentives. People always argue that nothing would get done if we gave people the ability to live, but that's pure BS. When people are comfortable with living they pursue things because life can get boring really quickly.

@shannalee2520 I think that's a purely BS narrative. It's a smear campaign that doesnt make sense if you actually follow Jon.

They'd have to take a pay cut.

@jakepistolero you are being a hypocrite right now

I think trevor noah took that show in a different and uncovered direction. I've learned so much from trevor. But on the topic of jon, apple apparently is pretty hands off his show. Hes criticized them on his show before. Just because they pay for his show doesnt mean he agrees with them on everything, that is a baseless assumption.
