WATCH THE FOREVER CHEMICAL EXPOS?, GROWING BROKE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIdCgjDoB1U

Forever chemicals are now becoming so omnipresent, there’s a 97% chance these chemicals are already inside your body — and most Americans have no idea how they got there.

In this follow-up episode of The Truth of the Matter Podcast, Natasha Zouves revisits the “Forever Chemical Scandal” with Scott Faber, senior vice president at the Environmental Working Group, to examine what’s changed since the documentary aired — and what hasn’t.

We dig into:

* Why PFAS are still found in our drinking water and food — so ubiquitous it now taints all the rainwater on earth
* Whether EPA drinking-water limits are being strengthened or rolled back
* How sewage sludge spread PFAS onto farmland, forcing farmers to euthanize animals and dump contaminated milk
* And why firefighters and military communities show some of the highest PFAS levels in their blood
* What you can do to protect yourself and your family from forever chemicals

This conversation goes beyond the headlines to the paper trail: who developed PFAS, who profited, and how long the risks to human health were known. As Scott Faber points out, these chemicals are called “forever” for a reason. The question is whether accountability will ever catch up.

The Truth of the Matter with Natasha Zouves isn’t just another podcast — it’s a fight to uncover what powerful institutions want hidden. From secret human experiments the government carried out on unsuspecting citizens to toxic cover-ups poisoning communities, Emmy and Murrow Award-winning journalist Natasha Zouves brings you the stories people in power don’t want told.

We expose evidence buried in archives, amplify the voices of those who’ve been silenced, and hold the powerful accountable. From radioactive “oatmeal experiments” on children, to cancer-causing chemicals destroying farms, to veterans erased from history — these are the stories that matter.

This is journalism that refuses to look away. The Truth of the Matter is about transparency, and justice for the people left behind.

Batya Ungar-Sargon opens her show by discussing former President Barack Obama and Joe Biden’s comments on the Trump administration’s deportation agenda in the aftermath of the chaos in Minneapolis. “Obama has it backwards: It’s the state and local officials whose refusal to cooperate with ICE led to (Alex) Pretti’s death,” Ungar-Sargon says.
