WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:04.040 Yesterday, President Trump made the decision to strike inbound narcos 2 00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:06.759 on their way to the United States from the Eastern Pacific. 3 00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:09.439 I am on location on the shores of the Eastern 4 00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:10.759 Pacific in San. 5 00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:11.880 Salvador, l Salvador. 6 00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:14.320 We will be covering all of the reaction from the 7 00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:17.559 region and catching up on what's going on in Washington, 8 00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:20.480 d C. With Representative Corey Mills. He is on the 9 00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:23.160 Armed Services Committee. He'll have perspective on some of these 10 00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:27.039 military operations and he'll bring us into the negotiations to 11 00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:30.239 end this shutdown and to prepare for what is happening 12 00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:33.039 in twenty twenty six on the way to the all 13 00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:37.399 important midterms. Plus, we've got Texas candidate Brandon Herrera with 14 00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:40.200 US tonight and a lot of Oan Team coverage. Will 15 00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:43.880 check in with Daniel Baldwin and with Pearson Sharp regarding 16 00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:45.159 what's going on around the world. 17 00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:47.359 All that and more. It's next on the Matt Gates Show. 18 00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:48.200 Let's do this. 19 00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:52.280 Shaking up Washington, d C. We're breaking the fever. 20 00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:54.880 Do you have a watch this guy on television. 21 00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:56.320 It's like a machine. 22 00:00:57.159 --> 00:00:57.759 He's great. 23 00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:04.879 Matt Gates, as we join you this evening, we are 24 00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:07.879 on location in since Salvador. That is because the United 25 00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:10.879 States has made aggressive moves in the Eastern Pacific and 26 00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:14.040 throughout the Caribbean as President Trump is fighting the narcos 27 00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:16.599 who are on their way to the United States. This 28 00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:20.439 is some of the most i would say aggressive and 29 00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:22.840 forceful work that we've seen from the Department of War 30 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:25.519 in this part of the world in quite some time. 31 00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:29.920 It reinvigorates the Monroe doctrine that President Trump is bringing 32 00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:34.480 back to life with policies related to Greenland, Panama, and 33 00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.079 throughout Latin America. It is also Veterans Day. President Trump 34 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:39.359 spent time with our troops. 35 00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:39.879 Take listen. 36 00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:43.400 So the House is going to vote, and I think 37 00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:45.920 they're going to vote positively. I think most people want 38 00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:48.480 to see it open. Only people that hate our country 39 00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.000 want to see it not open. Because our country is 40 00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:53.680 doing so well, So we don't want to waste these times. 41 00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.439 These a precious sense. You know, we have seventeen trition 42 00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:00.439 dollars plus being invested in our country. That's many times 43 00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:02.920 more than any country has ever had. We don't want 44 00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:07.120 to be wasting time. So they tried to basically renegotiate 45 00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:09.719 the great, big, beautiful deal. They didn't. They weren't able 46 00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:12.080 to get it, and now they said, let's close up 47 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:13.560 our country. We'll see if we can get it. You 48 00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:15.879 assume everything you just said there will have some people 49 00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:18.719 very pissed about it, and then obviously the rest of 50 00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:21.000 the world, the United States of America, will be very 51 00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:22.879 excited that the government is back open. 52 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:27.240 So I think that deserves a big ooh role. Yeah. 53 00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:29.159 I think loving that the government's back open. 54 00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:31.759 Here, we've got the military paid anyway. Pat, you have 55 00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:34.639 to understand there's no way we weren't going to pay. 56 00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:37.000 The military ratings machine. 57 00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:39.639 Donald Trump lighting it up with Pat McAfee. And we 58 00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:42.879 know all those who are serving and have served certainly 59 00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:45.800 appreciate a commander in chief who is putting our military 60 00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:48.439 families first and is getting rid of some of the 61 00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:52.159 policies at the Department of War that were constraining our lethality. 62 00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:55.840 And that lethality has been on display. Six killed just 63 00:02:56.080 --> 00:03:00.599 yesterday in the operation off the Eastern Pacific. Health missiles 64 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:03.400 and MQ nine predator drones were used in that attack. 65 00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:07.039 It's one of about twenty of these operations that we've seen. 66 00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.840 And again we will continue to get reaction throughout the 67 00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:13.240 balance of the week here as we are in Sin Salvador. Also, 68 00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:16.520 we are getting our way out of this government shutdown. 69 00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:19.800 It's something that Chuck Schumer brought upon the nation. And 70 00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:22.319 now the deal that seems to have brought us out 71 00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:25.280 the shutdown is one that will lock in funding for 72 00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:28.199 programs that are very important to Democrats, like SNAP and 73 00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:31.560 funding their own staff, while leaving a lot of people 74 00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:34.319 who are getting paid through the Department of Homeland Secure 75 00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:37.960 Security and the Department of War wondering whether or not 76 00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:41.879 in January when their funding runs out, Democrats will again 77 00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:45.680 try this silly, silly prank on the American economy and 78 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:48.960 the American people. That has been certainly a devastating one 79 00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:52.039 when you look at the impacts on production and on 80 00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:55.039 air traffic control and travel and all of the things 81 00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:58.400 President Trump is working to optimize. We had Congressman Keith 82 00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:00.520 self react to the deal. He thinks it's a good one. 83 00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:01.719 Take a listener, This. 84 00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.439 Is a good deal, Matt because this cr has nothing 85 00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:07.680 about the Obamacare subsidies in it. 86 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:11.120 I think that's the next big fight now. 87 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:15.360 I understand that we are going to have to reform SNAP, 88 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.000 but we don't have the time to do it now. 89 00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:22.959 Congressman self makes an interesting point. It's a good deal 90 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:25.160 insofar as Republicans that do not have to make any 91 00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:29.519 concessions on all of the Obamacare spending Democrats wanted. Let's 92 00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:32.800 remember when this shutdown began, Democrats had a long list 93 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:37.439 of demands that ranged from usaid to restoring federal workers 94 00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:42.360 to even silly stuff like the foreign aid and other 95 00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:45.639 activities that had long been dispensed by dog. 96 00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:47.439 President Trump stood his ground. 97 00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:51.519 He did not extend those Obamacare subsidies and instead is 98 00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:56.639 forcing Democrats to the table. Here's our concern, wait for 99 00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:01.480 what happens in January. January is not some distant time 100 00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:06.079 far away. In January, Chuck Schumer and the Democrats might 101 00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:07.240 try this again. 102 00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:09.040 They may try it again. 103 00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:11.639 If they do try it again, they will have an 104 00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.240 environment before them that allows them to have snap recipients 105 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:20.759 continuing to get their federal support. While people who are 106 00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:24.079 involved in the deportation effort, people who are securing our border, 107 00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:27.160 people who are wearing the uniform of our country may 108 00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:30.199 be left wondering. We'll get into all of it tonight. 109 00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:32.839 Joining us now, a key member of the House Armed 110 00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:38.399 Services Committee Outstanding at Florida Republican Congressman Corey Mills. Congressman Mills, 111 00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:41.360 we have a lot to get to the shutdown Veterans Day, 112 00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:44.879 but let's start with this campaign in the Eastern Pacific 113 00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.639 and the Caribbean to go after the narcos. Six people 114 00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:51.360 killed yesterday with MQ nine predators and hell fire. 115 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:52.120 Missiles being used. 116 00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:58.040 What would be your assessment of the campaign so far, Well, look. 117 00:05:57.920 --> 00:05:59.839 I think the campaign has been very successful. This is 118 00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:03.399 the twentieth strategic strike that we've had. You've got where 119 00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:05.519 a president now in office is not only looking at 120 00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:08.319 secure our borders, but stop turning a blind eye to 121 00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:11.600 the cartels attacks on American communities. So what we're looking 122 00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:14.160 at here is things are verified intel. These are coming 123 00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:17.120 out of cartels and terrorist networks that are actually being 124 00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:20.439 launched in international water. So what we're doing is we're 125 00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:22.639 trying to keep America safe, in our community safe. We've 126 00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:25.519 got tens of millions of families who actually deal with 127 00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:28.639 the kind of plague of addiction that their family members 128 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:31.519 have suffered from, as well as for fentnel overdoses that 129 00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:34.600 was at record numbers under the Biden administration. So I'm 130 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:36.800 all for with the Secretary of War and President Trump's 131 00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:39.000 doing to continue to try and keep America safe. 132 00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:45.240 As a Floridian, you're well attuned to the situation in Venezuela, 133 00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:48.680 so many Venezuelans living in the Sunshine State. Do you 134 00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:52.759 think that Maduro survives this onslaught of pressure from the 135 00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:56.079 Trump administration, You. 136 00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:57.120 Know, I think that's going to be up to the 137 00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.480 actual people of Venezuela. The one thing that I'll say 138 00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:02.879 is is that cutting off his continual flow of revenue 139 00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:05.000 will certainly put a pinch point on him and his. 140 00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:07.000 Ability to continue to fund these types of activities. 141 00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:09.519 And so I think that, you know, whether it's Venezuela 142 00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:11.879 or whether it's Pedro and Columbia or others, I think 143 00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:14.120 they're all notice that this president isn't going to sit 144 00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:16.680 by idly and allow Americans to continue to be poisoned. 145 00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:22.399 Yeah, if Maduro falls, I think like the days that 146 00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:26.040 come after, I'll probably see Corey Mills on some rescue 147 00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:29.439 mission in Venezuela trying to help Americans. 148 00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:29.439 Get out of there. 149 00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:32.480 The people of Venezuela voted overwhelmingly for the first time 150 00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:36.720 on mat the military of Venezuela just stepped in and 151 00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:38.480 declared victory for Maduro. 152 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:40.079 Do you think the people of. 153 00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:44.000 Venezuela have the ability for regime change in the absence 154 00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:46.360 of some US support. 155 00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:48.720 Well, I think they could, and I think they need 156 00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:50.920 to be looking around to the partners in the region. 157 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:52.720 To try and go ahead and help and support those efforts. 158 00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:55.480 I mean, I look at areas like Syria, or look 159 00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:58.439 at areas across the world where people have risen up 160 00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:01.920 and actually overthrown dictators and tyrannical rule that had lasted 161 00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:04.879 for decades, in some cases generations, And so I think 162 00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:07.240 that Venezuelan people will eventually get to that point where 163 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:09.079 they're tired of it, the same way as the people 164 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.000 in Brazil are when it comes to the political law 165 00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:14.199 fare that goes on down there, like the imprisonment of Balsonaro. 166 00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:17.360 So I think that the Latin America and Caribbean area 167 00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:21.319 is starting to wake up to the realities of freedom. 168 00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:25.720 It's so interesting that you've got the left pull of 169 00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:30.680 Lula and Petro and Maduro, and then you have Melee 170 00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:34.559 and President Bucella and others trying to cast a more 171 00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:37.320 productive and I would say more hopeful vision. 172 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:38.840 We'll see which way Latin America goes. 173 00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:41.919 But let's return our focus to the United States, where. 174 00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:44.399 Schumor seems to have finally released. 175 00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:46.799 Enough votes to get out of this shutdown. What's your 176 00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:49.919 assessment of the deal coming over from the Senate. 177 00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.120 Well, look, it's really not that different than the deal 178 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:56.639 that we originally sent over. It doesn't necessarily fund the 179 00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:00.120 entire continued resolution that we'd want at the funding current levels. 180 00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:02.080 You know me, I've never been a big fan of 181 00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:04.320 continuing resolutions. I think Congress needs to start doing their 182 00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:06.679 job and getting the twelve single point approparation bills in 183 00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:09.080 place that we fought so hard for, as well as 184 00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:10.519 for the germaneness of each bill. 185 00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:13.120 But this at least guarantees us things. 186 00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:14.919 Like being able to pay our military, being able to 187 00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:17.879 allow military construction to continue on our veteran affairs to 188 00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:20.320 go on, but also agriculture where we have people who 189 00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:21.919 are actually in need when it comes to things like 190 00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:24.039 the child nutrition programs, when it comes to the women 191 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:26.799 infant in child programs, So being able to have the 192 00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:29.080 ag programs and a couple of the others, about nine 193 00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:31.360 out of the twelve to be funded through at least 194 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:33.879 January thirtieth, and in some cases one year, like the 195 00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:36.799 AG bill does out to September thirtieth, does give us 196 00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:39.000 enough leadway and runway to be able to start looking 197 00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:39.240 at this. 198 00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:40.360 But look, this is. 199 00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:42.639 On the Democrats. This is the Schumer shutdown. They played 200 00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:44.879 politics with the American people and held them hostage. We 201 00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:47.320 had military who hadn't been paid in months, and with 202 00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:50.240 the average person having only about three thousand dollars in 203 00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:51.080 their bank account. 204 00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:53.120 This is detrimental when you talk. 205 00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:54.960 About the fact that for forty days they're not being 206 00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:57.600 paid and laid off, not to mention how this impacted 207 00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:00.879 our TSA employees, how it impacted air delays and cancelations, 208 00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:03.879 what type of additional risk this took. So look, political 209 00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.080 bargaining doesn't you know, and shouldn't be actually utilized in 210 00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:10.200 trying to you know, detriment to national security or to 211 00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:11.480 what the American life should be. 212 00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:16.440 Do you think they'll try it again in January? You know, 213 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.120 this continuing resolution is only for a couple of months, 214 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.120 and if Democrats think they have the wind at their 215 00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.879 back and shut down politics, I'm worried they may try 216 00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.000 it again, this time without the pressure points of their 217 00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.279 legislative staff not being paid and the staff benefit's not 218 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:31.720 going out. 219 00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:35.559 Well, that's exactly right, and that's why we need to 220 00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:38.200 pass things like to Pay Your Troops Act, which guarantees 221 00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:40.919 that our military doesn't ever have their benefits stop whatever 222 00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:42.320 Congress fails to do their job. 223 00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:44.080 But we also have to look at the timeline. 224 00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:47.279 The original cr would have basically funded US through November 225 00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:49.559 twenty first. What they wanted to do, though, was play 226 00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:51.879 politics until the mayor and governor races were over so 227 00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:53.639 they could go ahead and try and support their candidates. 228 00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:55.440 So this was really about. 229 00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:57.000 Trying to not just play politics, but trying to see 230 00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:58.440 if they could steal a couple of extraceipts. 231 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:00.120 And so, like you just said. 232 00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:01.799 I think that in January we're going to see a 233 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:04.240 very similar thing. But let's hope the Democrats have learned 234 00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:05.039 their lesson by then. 235 00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:11.159 You have regularly been one trying to change the way 236 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:14.519 Congress budgets. Now it seems if you're able to get 237 00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:17.320 this continuing resolution of January, there will be some work 238 00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:21.440 for Congress ahead before the midterms. Chip Roy was on 239 00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:24.720 the program recently and criticized Congress for kind of jogging 240 00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:28.720 behind the Trump administration, not really leading. Are there some 241 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.559 issues you think Congress could lead on ahead of the 242 00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:34.480 midterms that would give Republicans better prospects? 243 00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:38.720 Well, I think that Congress has been lacking this entire time. 244 00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:40.279 I mean, if you think about it, the president ladies 245 00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:43.000 agenda out throughout the entire campaign trail, we should have 246 00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:45.480 already have known exactly what executive orders were coming down, 247 00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:47.000 of which ones we could call a find a law. 248 00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:49.000 It's like the DOJAC that I actually. 249 00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:50.840 Submitted months and months ago, which has never actually gone 250 00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:53.159 through committee or come forward, that would guarantee that we 251 00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:55.240 still continue to look at waste, fraud, and abuse. And so, 252 00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:58.559 my great colleague and your colleague Chip Roy's exactly right. 253 00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:00.360 Congress is a step up and start doing their job, 254 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:02.399 not dragging their feet. And I'm fine with the fact 255 00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:04.159 that we should be working five six days a week 256 00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:05.200 all the way through the end of the year to 257 00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:06.879 be able to go ahead and start getting things done 258 00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:10.360 because President Trump's America First agenda cannot be slow rolled 259 00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:12.559 to the midterms, and so let's just continue to get 260 00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:15.000 in there and let's get the job done. 261 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:20.000 Finally, Congressman, I know how much you care about America's veterans. 262 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:23.159 You give so much of your time and your resources 263 00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:26.200 to veteran causes. What are your reflections on this Veterans 264 00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:28.200 Day and what do you want Americans to take away 265 00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:28.799 from the holiday. 266 00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:32.600 Look, Veterans Day is such an important thing. 267 00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:34.320 It's it's sad to actually say that we should be 268 00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:36.240 taking better care of our veterans than we do criminal 269 00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:38.600 migrants who are crossing our borders. But when you look 270 00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:40.519 at the history of this, it's such an important thing. 271 00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:42.639 As you know, Veterans Day used to be known as 272 00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:43.519 Armistice Day. 273 00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:45.440 It was the day that Woodrow. 274 00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:47.919 Wilson in nineteen nineteen had declared after we had stopped 275 00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:50.279 the war in nineteen eighteen, on the eleventh hour of 276 00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:52.960 the eleventh month of the eleventh Day. And then after 277 00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:55.000 World War II in the Korean War, it was President 278 00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:57.679 Eisenhower who then renamed it Veterans Day in honor of 279 00:12:57.720 --> 00:13:00.000 our veterans. And so I think that our veterans don't 280 00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:02.639 just deserve a day, they deserve any day for the 281 00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:03.440 rest of their lives. 282 00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:04.080 I mean, they've. 283 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:05.879 Actually put that uniform on and been willing to die 284 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:08.200 for this country. And so all of our members in uniform, 285 00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:10.120 all those who have worn it. I salute you, I 286 00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:12.080 appreciate you, and thank you so much for standing up 287 00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:13.879 because this country wouldn't be free without you. 288 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:17.960 A happy Veterans Day to all. 289 00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:20.799 Indeed, Florida Congressman Corey Mills, a key member of House 290 00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:23.519 Armed Services Committee, someone who knows what time it is 291 00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:25.120 in the world, We appreciate you being on the program 292 00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:26.120 and sharing your expertise. 293 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:29.440 Thanks Matt, and. 294 00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:32.000 Coming up we will check in on how the administration 295 00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:35.000 is viewing these machinations on Capitol Hill and what their 296 00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:38.200 expectations are for the coming weeks and months.

Hey, everyone, 321 00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:27.639 here's a question for you. What does Roku TV, Apple TV, 322 00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:32.279 and Amazon fireTV all have in common? The answer is 323 00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:35.519 that all three platforms offer you the ability to live 324 00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:39.879 stream one America News Network from your Roku TV, Apple TV. 325 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:41.240 Or Amazon Fire device. 326 00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:45.759 Simply go to the app store search out FORAAN, then 327 00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:49.960 enjoy all the great programming offered by including my show 328 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:59.600 real America. 329 00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:00.799 Under my leadership, we're also fighting for the great veterans 330 00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:06.799 who have always always been there for us, and especially 331 00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:10.240 when we needed them and needed them most. In nine months, 332 00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:15.120 the Trump administration has cut the backlog of VA benefit 333 00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:19.600 claims in half. We've added more than one million extra 334 00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:22.840 service hours across the VA centers. 335 00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:24.559 And we've opened twenty new. 336 00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:28.679 Facilities in thirteen states. We also have brought back VA 337 00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:33.320 choice and VA accountability taken away by the Biden administration 338 00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:36.240 as we fired thousands of people who didn't take care 339 00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:40.559 of our our great veterans joining us now. 340 00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:44.519 OAN's chief White House correspondent Daniel Baldwin. So, Daniel, how 341 00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:46.480 was the President enjoying Veterans Day? 342 00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:51.919 Listen, Matt. We all know the President loves veterans, probably 343 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:54.639 as much as anybody. He always bounts to make sure 344 00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:57.399 that he honors them appropriately, and we saw him earlier 345 00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:01.240 today at Arlington National Cemetery honor them in a very 346 00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:04.279 appropriate and dignified way, both him and the Vice President 347 00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:07.960 and the Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins, making sure 348 00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:11.680 that veterans got the deserved recognition, made sure that the 349 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:17.000 administration understood and offered their gratitude upon veterans on behalf 350 00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:21.160 of the nation, making sure that they felt appreciated here today, 351 00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:24.240 of all days, on Veterans Day, Matt, so, definitely a 352 00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:27.359 solemn day full of gratitude, especially on the President's behalf. 353 00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:33.200 I have heard from some veterans with mixed emotions about 354 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:36.880 the Syrian president making a White House visit. But President 355 00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:39.319 Trump talks to our friends, talks to our enemies, and 356 00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:42.400 is working to see peace take holds throughout the world. 357 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:48.440 What were the feelings, emotions, plans around this visit from 358 00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:51.480 the Syrian president and does President Trump hope that that 359 00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:54.799 could lead to even more progress on the Abraham Accords 360 00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:57.200 and other critical features of his Middle East policy? 361 00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:01.880 Matt that anyone that the President is willing to talk 362 00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:05.680 to anyone, anywhere, anytime, any place when it comes to 363 00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:08.799 trying to make peace, make peace. The President is a 364 00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:10.920 peace maker. That's something that the White House has been 365 00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:13.519 emphatic with. The President wants to have a legacy where 366 00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:17.240 he leaves the world a better place leaving the White 367 00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:19.240 House than it was when he was coming in. And 368 00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:22.559 we've seen the President be relentless in his pursuits of 369 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:27.319 trying to make sure that killings everywhere stop. I think 370 00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:31.200 this is probably another example of the President trying to 371 00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:35.920 pursue this peace making policy. Obviously, that's sort of been 372 00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:38.160 the message from the White House that the President is 373 00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:42.160 looking to try to make peace when it comes to that. Obviously, 374 00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:45.920 there's been some rumors about whether or not Syria will 375 00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:50.640 join some group to try to stop the Islami State isis, 376 00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:53.160 so to speak. But of course the President looking to 377 00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:55.640 try to make peace in this region, trying of course 378 00:18:55.960 --> 00:19:00.279 to perhaps get them on board with the Israel the Abrahams, 379 00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:03.160 as you mentioned. But again this is another example, I believe, 380 00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:07.799 of the President looking to make peace in any way 381 00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:09.440 that he possibly can met. 382 00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:14.359 And as all this is going on, Congress seems to 383 00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:17.960 be stumbling out of the Schumer shutdown, the Senate of 384 00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:20.480 passing this key legislation, sending it over. 385 00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:20.799 To the House. 386 00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:23.599 House members rushing back to Washington. 387 00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:24.519 To quickly approve it. 388 00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:26.559 And get it to the President's desk. But we have 389 00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:31.000 also heard Cabinet secretaries like Sean Duffy say that this 390 00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:34.400 won't all just go back to normal the moment the 391 00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:41.359 shutdown ends. What type of shutdown hangovers are the White 392 00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:43.720 House preparing for in the days and weeks ahead. 393 00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:49.160 Listen, that's exactly the point, right. Duffy is probably the 394 00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:52.200 one who best best be best to speak about it eloquently. 395 00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:55.119 But I will tell you that there were some nerves, 396 00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:59.519 not just I would say it just so specifically in 397 00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:03.519 the a industry. I have some sources who work in 398 00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:05.880 the aviation industry, and Matt, I can tell you that 399 00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:10.559 they were incredibly nervous, specifically this week, about whether or 400 00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:13.359 not we would get a resolution to this shutdown. And 401 00:20:13.400 --> 00:20:15.400
