Rep. Chris Deluzio & Rep. Pat Ryan on Stronger Dem Leadership & Supporting Veterans | The Daily Show
Veterans Demand Accountability: Congressional Insiders Blast Political Weakness Amid Budget Discrepancies
Learn why two Iraq War veteran representatives criticize Senate Democrats for a weak healthcare concession and accuse politicians of easily spending trillions on the military while counting pennies to care for the veterans they sent to war. Discover the specific legislative fights shaping voter demands.
Short Summary
- Democrats accepted a "weak" deal during the government shutdown that conceded key healthcare agenda points.
- The Republican defense budget is scrutinized for trillion-dollar waste, contrasting sharply with the fight for earned veteran benefits.
- House inaction has resulted in seven weeks without any representative votes or official committee action.
- Constituents demand representatives stand firm on fighting for essential needs, rather than surrendering principles.
Reps. Chris Deluzio and Pat Ryan discuss the fallout from the Senate caving on healthcare negotiations following a recent budget standoff. They argue that political leadership disconnects from the needs of ordinary Americans—especially veterans—created the space for divisive figures to rise. The congressmen detail rampant contractor waste in defense spending and reassert that their constituents demand political fighters who will deliver on earned benefits, not those who collapse positions.

Wow! How refreshing to hear two politicians speak so openly and not from a set of talking points.
As a veteran, thank you sincerely for fighting for us Jon.
Imagine...3 intelligent, reasonable, common-sensed patriotic men in one room❣️💯
I love love LOVE that Jon got recognition for his efforts and advocacy getting the PACT act passed.
We need to get rid of Citizens United and lobbying should be illegal.
Wow where have these two been hiding!? Every independent media platform should be having them on constantly telling the truth!!! Thank you Jon.
Thank you John Stewart for doing the right thing always
The real reason nothing gets done in Washington: because Big Money wants it that way. Any candidate not vowing to GET MONEY OUT OF GOVERNMENT does not deserve your vote.
"It's not red vs blue. It's billionaires vs YOU." Both sides are guilty of not doing away with the big money infecting our politics.
I have called Chuck's office 5 times since last Friday. Urging him to not let the party cave in the Senate. Making the case for the leverage of the situation.... Now this. He has to go. And all 8 Democrats that flipped need to go. VOTE THEM OUT! Edit: I forgot that some of the 8 aren't running again. And the others aren't up in 2026. But even still, the primary ones who do run again.
