Federal Veterans Affairs resources are being used to serve illegal aliens, says Army veteran Derick Carver.
“Essentially, what's happening is, the VA was caught moving processors from the VA to support [Immigration and Customs Enforcement Health Services Corps] processing detainee medicals,” he says.
“We're talking over 1.1 million people,” said Carver, who currently serves as a graduate fellow in the Allison Center for National Security at The Heritage Foundation.
“We're talking hundreds of thousands of initial medical exams, with follow-up exams, hundreds of thousands of prescriptions being filled, dental appointments, vision appointments,” he added. “I mean, the care that the detainees are getting is better than a lot of what the veterans are getting and without … the hoops to jump through, because they just have access to this once they're detained.”
After being severely injured in Afghanistan in 2010, losing his left leg, part of his right leg, and a number of fingers, Carver became acutely aware of the issues with VA hospitals.
“I've stopped receiving care at VA [hospitals] because of just how negligent they are at times, especially with someone with my injuries and the levels of injuries that I have. It's just not feasible to receive proper care at a VA, or even at a private hospital for that matter,” Carver said. Instead, the veteran said he visits either Walter Reed Army National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, or Brooke Army Medical Center at Fort Sam Houston in Texas—neither is a VA hospital—to receive care.
Carver joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to share his personal story, discuss needed reforms for VA hospitals, and explain what steps should be taken to ensure U.S. veterans are receiving the physical, mental, and emotional care they need and deserve.

For years, Jeff and Tricia Bradford kept their abortion a secret from their friends and church community.
“We hid our story, because of the deep shame and regret that we had,” Jeff Bradford says.
The couple was engaged when Tricia, then 20, learned she was pregnant. "Fear didn't waste a second coming into that conversation and shame," she said. "And so, we just immediately thought, ‘What are we going to do?’"
The couple reached out to a family member and received some “terrible advice,” the husband says, adding that a few days later, he and his wife “ended up at Planned Parenthood, and we took the life of our first daughter, and we didn't talk about it for 17 years.”
Even being active members in their church, the couple says, they “sat in the pew silent” because no one in their community talked about the issue of life or abortion. But counseling and a connection with two pro-life leaders led the couple down a road that changed their lives.
Today, Jeff Bradford serves as president of Human Coalition, a pro-life organization that aims to help women choose life, and the couple have four children.
Now, 32 years after aborting their first baby, the Bradfords are sharing their story in their new book, “Beauty from Ashes: A Christian Couple’s Journey From Abortion to Redemption.”
The couple joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to share their story and encourage churches across the country to be intentional about providing care for women who have had abortions.

President Joe Biden’s proposed changes to the Supreme Court are “shameful” and “dangerous,” legal expert John Malcolm says.
Last week, Biden announced a “bold plan to reform the Supreme Court,” including ending lifetime appointments in favor of 18-year terms, implementation of an enforceable code of ethics, and an attempt to reverse the U.S. Supreme Court's recent ruling on presidential immunity.
“It is attempting to attack the integrity of the court and to destroy the independence of the one body that is supposed to be apolitical,” says Malcolm, senior legal fellow and vice president of the Institute for Constitutional Government at The Heritage Foundation.
Malcolm joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain the likelihood of any of Biden’s three proposals actually being implemented, and what each would mean for the integrity of the Supreme Court.

In an interview with The Daily Signal, renowned historian Victor Davis Hanson discusses the updated edition of his bestselling book, "The Case for Trump." Months before the 2024 presidential election, Hanson offers fresh insights into the remarkable political comeback of Donald Trump.
The book's new introduction delves into the final days of Trump's presidency through late spring 2024, chronicling the unprecedented challenges Trump has faced and his resilience since leaving the White House. Hanson covers recent events—from legal battles to media controversies—and their impact on Trump's political standing.
"It was really the most remarkable comeback in American political history, even more impressive than Richard Nixon's phoenix-like rise after losing the gubernatorial election to Pat Brown in 1962," Hanson says.
Our conversation explores the miscalculations of Trump's opponents, his unfair treatment at the hands of rogue prosecutors, and the ever-changing dynamics shaping the presidential race. Plus, Hanson offers his perspective on how best to counter Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

When Charles Gasparino set out to report on Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse, he had no idea he was about to uncover a much larger story: the radical transformation of American business.
Gasparino, a veteran financial journalist at Fox Business, initially focused on the bank's poor risk management. But he soon stumbled upon something more troublesome—an unhealthy fixation on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policies.
This misplaced focus, Gasparino argues, played a significant role in the bank's ultimate demise.
As he dug deeper, a troubling pattern emerged. Silicon Valley Bank wasn't an isolated case—it was just the beginning. From Disney’s controversial policies under Bob Chapek to BlackRock CEO Larry Fink's aggressive push for ESG standards, Gasparino found that wokeness had infiltrated boardrooms across America.
Gasparino traced this trend back to the summer of 2020, when corporations reacted strongly to the George Floyd protests, exemplified by J.P. Morgan’s CEO, Jamie Dimon, famously taking a knee.
Through extensive interviews and research, Gasparino documented how corporations eagerly embraced woke ideas, only to face harsh financial realities. His new book "Go Woke, Go Broke: The Inside Story of the Radicalization of Corporate America" offers a stark warning to CEOs who might be tempted to follow this path.
On today's episode of "The Daily Signal Podcast," Gasparino explains that when businesses stray from their core mission—maximizing shareholder value—it's a losing proposition. Listen as we explore how woke ideology reshaped corporate America and what can be done about it.
