those veterans who were deployed in areas where burn pits were in use -- in iraq, in afghanistan, in uzbekistan. all of these different areas and more. this bill would do away with the paperwork that made it almost impossible to prove exposure by these veterans and put the onus on the v.a. and that bureaucracy when crafting this bill with senator manchin, our offices worked extensively with the senate veterans' affairs committee and many of the veteran service organizations, particularly the disabled american veterans organization, and we worked with the v.a. on the language to make sure we were not getting ahead of the science. making sure that what was exposed and what were the diseases connect with science. not always easy, but the v.a. does have expertise in that area. i then cosponsored with senator blumenthal the k-2 veterans advocacy act. this bill moved the needle on three things that are known systemically now -- the toxic substances at the base that we called k-2 in uzbekistan, the medical conditions that k-2 veterans have, and they're serious, something really bad was going on at the

i'll recently lost my father about a month ago when i was an official trip to uzbekistan representing you he i heard the news on my arrival that he passed away, but most heart-wrenching aspect of that. i know that this was coming. i thought that i was prepared, but i wasn't what i was not prepared is the fact that i could not even a able to hold my mom when she's going through when she lost her husband of 53 years old and also that close touch gant and urim ji is about the same distance from here to new york. it's very close same, you know culture same environment and i because i got sanctioned last december by chinese regime. congratulations. thank you. thank you for the policy announcement by the united states government. they includes the olympic boycott additional glove max sanction entity list designation. so i've made it impossible, you know, it's easy. for those of us who don't have that kind of childhood family connection, but to me with that sanction, i did not even have a basic freedom to be there for my mom and carried. my dad's casket. yeah. we can get to you know, the rea

depleted uranium, building a base in uzbekistan for use in the early days of the wars in iraq and afghanistan, it was built on the top of soviet waste dumps and ammunition dumps and chemical munition facilities. these things we knew off the bat were going to make people sick. but because war was the top priority, we pushed on and we did it. the service members knew there was a risk but they wanted to get the job done. they deserve so much better than to have to fight as they are literally laying dying for the government to finally recognize what the problem here is. this goes back decades and decades and this legislation would finally bring some closure to some, but not all. i am glad you're talking about the korean war because it shows the breadth and depth of the government's responsibility for poisoning our service members. host: senator jon tester, who is the chair of the veterans affairs committee, came out to the senate floor last week to talk about our country's failures to address toxic exposures over the years. here's a potion of what senator chester had to say.

azerbaijan, central african republic, egypt, indonesia, iraq, kazakhstan, malaysia, turkey, and uzbekistan. in addition to our cpc and swl recommendations, we also make a variety of other policy recommendations to the administration and congress. for example, uscirf has been calling on the state department for years to refrain from issuing waivers for cpc countries, which essentially releases the u.s. government from taking legislatively mandated punitive actions as a result of the designation, such as sanctions. currently, the u.s. government has waivers in place for four cpc designated countries. so we continue to urge the administration to review us policy toward these countries and to make appropriate policy changes to demonstrate meaningful consequences and encourage positive change. in congress, we continue to recommend that individual members advocate for international religious freedom by raising the issue in hearings, floor speeches, congressional delegations abroad and by sponsoring religious prisoners of conscience through the tom lantos human rights commissions defending freedo

i encountered couple hours migrants from georgia, endia, russia, uzbekistan, brazil, peru, colombia, cuba, venezuela and even afghanistan and i ran into massive amount of groups single male columbus don't see at the border. >> we asked them that. are you afraid you will be deported title 42? what's your reaction? they said no. we know we are here to stay this administration welcoming us. one migrant said if they deport me i will keep trying and trying again. massive amount of groups. that yuma sector what's unique the amount coming out of northern triangle countries. they fly into mexico airport and from there they take a it cross illegally and walk through the yuma gap. >> steve: graphics that show the number of encounters bisek tore. yuma has 27,000 see at the bottom. that's where you were. that number, we have got another graphic that shows that that was actually up year over year. 401% just in that sector. so, obviously, if it's going like that. that's the easy path lane to get into the united states, it looks like. >> exactly. thesing mys, they have no fear of being deported und

there is an estimated 16,000 -- that's right, 16,000 service members deployed to a base in uzbekistan known as k-2. it was an old soviet base which became a dumping ground for all kinds of toxic substances, and they were exposed to those substances when they served there. now the old soviet union didn't care much about its people, russia not much more about its people in uniform, but we should and we do and that's why the pact act would provide care to them. in the united states at camp lejeune, many of our veterans and their families were exposed to toxins in the water supply. they've been left without any real resource. my friend and colleague senator tillis and i worked together on legislation to help these thousands of veterans and their families impacted by those toxins at camp lejeune. it was an uphill battle. we had to overcome a lot of resistance. again, some of our v.a. friends didn't see it our way, but my feeling is that we had to fight as tenaciously for those camp lejeune families as marines do for us. the pact act essentially regards these kinds of illnesses and inflicti

uzbekistan rolling in at 7.4. rachel: but if you say it on jimmy kimmel's show, it must be true, or at least the people watching might actually believe that. but do they? because they feel it. pete: they always jump over other stuff. have they fact checked it? will: yeah. pete: it's us. i like that. rachel: has he ever talked to a small business owner? every time the i go to a small business, i ask them how's it going. what's the number thing they say, i can't find a worker, and it's killing them. it's destroying their businesses. many of them are working, you know, massive amounts of hours because they simply can't find the right workers or any workers. or they're paying their workers more than they can really afford to the pay them in order to keep them. this is somebody who's so out of touch, and maybe this is because with he's never if had a job with outside of government, maybe because he doesn't leave the white house or his basement -- pete: quite literally hasn't had a job outside of politics. rachel: for s
