Listen: Former federal attorney says the government is more dangerous than you think
October 09, 2017
You’ve probably heard about the devastating effects of Veterans Administration health care, a system that botches veterans’ care or lets them die while waiting to see a doctor. But government neglect has been deadly in many other cases – and too often it just gets covered up.
Former federal attorney David T. Hardy talked about his new book, “I'm from the Government and I'm Here to Kill You: The True Human Cost of Official Negligence,” with Doc and Kal on today's show.
"Agencies are like anything else," Hardy said. "Like a private company ... they seek their own power, their own budget, et cetera. And if that involves, well, killing a few people, they're going to kill a few people."
Here are just a few examples of government negligence that they discussed:
- Texas City disaster in 1947 that killed around 800 people
- Federal employees releasing huge amounts of contamination
- Mexican drug cartels running guns for the government
- Medical administrations that let people die and covered it up
To see more from Doc, visit his channel on TheBlaze and listen live to “The Morning Blaze with Doc Thompson” weekdays 6–9 a.m. ET, only on TheBlaze Radio Network.
