This week on The Richard Leonard Show, Richard tackles the controversy surrounding the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ proposed disability evaluation rule that would factor in medication and treatment when assigning ratings.

The VA Hit Job: Politics Over Patients
In this episode of The Richard Leonard Show, we break down the growing firestorm around Doug Collins, the VA, and the latest Senate claims about wait times, staffing cuts, and “destroyed morale.” Stripping away the political theatrics, we focus on what the data actually says, what veterans on the ground are really experiencing, and why reforming a massive, broken system inevitably collides with bureaucracy, waste, and partisan outrage. From firsthand VA experiences to hard questions about accountability, budgets, and care, this is a reality check on whether veterans are being failed—or finally being told the truth.
