Our anonymous guest this week reached out after we had VA whistleblower "Johnny" on back for Episode 282 in March. She's a long time employee of Veterans Affairs, is a doctor, and has evidence of further corruption at the VA that she wanted to expose. She gets into what she sees as a greater effort to privatize more components of veterans healthcare with the Trump administration. We get into all of this, as well as what Kris has been up to being away from the show the past three weeks.
