It's the Brian Larry Show on WNYC.

Good morning, everyone.

Coming up this hour, we'll have a call in for Democrats on the way the party is allowing the government shutdown to end.

Do you think it's smart or do you think

it's weak? We'll play some clips. We'll take your calls. Also this morning, we'll go live to the

COP 30 climate conference in Brazil where the U.S. is not participating. Some say better know

Trump representative than a destructive one, but what can the conference achieve

without the second biggest climate polluter?

But first, today is Veterans Day.

Thank you for your service.

Any vets or active duty military personnel listening right now?

And we want to invite any veterans listening right now to say what you think of the changes

that President Trump

and Secretary Pete Hegeseth are bringing to the United States military.

212-433 WNYC, 433-962.

Again, we want to invite any veterans listening right now to say what you think of the changes

that President Trump

and Secretary Pete Hegeseth are bringing to the United States military 212-433-9-6-9-2.

We'll have a guest on this in a second.

But do you like renaming the Defense Department, the Department of War, 212-433, WNYC.

Also, in your experience in combat, if you're enjoying the Iraq or Afghanistan wars, or even more recently,

do you think the military was becoming too weak because it was becoming too woke?
