Summary

On this Veterans Day, not only are events across the country being disrupted by the government shutdown, but so are the lives of military families. Whether it's delayed paychecks or uncertainty about food assistance. U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins joins special guest host FOX Business Correspondent Lydia Hu to discuss how the shutdown has slowed some veteran benefits and made other services unavailable. Plus, Sec. Collins explains how the Trump administration is pushing to expand housing for homeless veterans and improve mental health outreach and suicide prevention across the veteran community. President Trump wants to make buying a home more affordable again. Part of his plan includes pushing a 50-year mortgage that would lower monthly payments for Americans. Senior Economist at Realtor.com, Joel Berner, joins the Rundown to discuss the President's latest idea, why the housing market is "soft", and what Americans can do to better afford a home. Plus, commentary from Scott Mann, former Green Beret, New York Times best-selling author, and founder of Task Force Pineapple. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
