On today's episode, Chuck talks with Christopher J. Williamson, Assistant Secretary for Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). Secretary Williamson leads the federal agency in charge of keeping all miners safe and healthy, and was a key figure behind rule changes that help protect miners from silica dust exposure. We're thrilled he joined the show!
Plus, Chuck and Big John breakdown the presidential debate.
