James Talarico discusses plan to help U.S. veterans during speech in Killeen, Texas

Published | Video Starts at 30:12

None of us can afford gas. None of us can afford health insurance. None of us can afford child care, which is now more expensive than college in the state of Texas. Our veterans, whether they're Democrats or Republicans, can't get the mental health care they need. Need. Can't get the transitional services that they are entitled to. (30:12–30:22)
