the virginia governor who said that if a baby survives the gruesome procedure of a late-term abortion, the next step on what to do with a live infant should be up to the mother and the doctor. you know, abortion advocates used to say that this procedure was all about a clump of cells, but as science and comments like this i think show us, proabortion advocates are interested in making it legal to get rid of a life. paul: all right, dan? well, hold on to your hats. we re giving a hit to the u.s. department of veteran affairs. that s right. amid the chaos, believe me paul: first time in history that s ever been a hit. amid the chaos of the government shutdown, the va was getting something done, issuing new rules allowing more veterans to have access to private clinics and hospitals. until now, they have been trapped inside the va system. so good for the va and good for the trump administration for getting this done. paul: thank you, dan. that s it for this week s show. thanks to my
pelosi, steny hoyer it and these are the exact same people that america rejected and they never changed course. that s why i believe if you look at we ve been able to achieve the economy the strongest in more than 50 years, rebuilding our military, reforming our va system stopping the opioid movement going through. we have an agenda to continue and make this country move in the right direction. maria: let s talk about the agenda in the next seven weeks while you re still in the majority. what can get done in next seven weeks and then i want to ask you about working with the democrats well first of all we have a number of spending bills we have to get done. there are seven appropriation bills one happens to be homeland making sure we secure our border we ve got the farm bill so a number of things we have to work together to be done before the change of government comes the beginning of january. maria: well you want to bring this bill to the floor on border security. do you feel that y
lives. i have friends their husbands have lost their lives waiting for care. there s a problem with the va system. i think we need to definitely take care of our veterans. i wouldn t be surprised if this is part of president trump s negotiation tactics. we ve all learned no matter what he s for the dems are against. there s nothing that he s stood for that they have said we could see military parades next year but there s been a lot of reporting on defense department not being for this, the american legion disagrees with this. amy, their comment from the national commander, quote, until such time we can celebrate a victory on the war of terrorism and bring our military home, we think the parade money would be better spent fully funding the department of veteran affairs and giving our troops and their families the best care possible.
fired. get out, get out! harris: your reaction to that? we welcome the president to kansas city and we welcome the vfw members to kansas city. this is the first time they ve been there in 11 years. and i was there yesterday visiting with those veterans. i will tell you that this administration has been working hard on behalf of veterans and part of that is the accountability that you just talked about. we have had experiences in which it is very difficult to get rid of bad employees within the department of veterans affairs and, the upper echelon of that va system. that s a good news. i judge the va by the number of cases, veterans in my state to call me and ask for help, and that number is way too high. they can t navigate themselves through the va system and a lot of that has to do with health care. particularly in a state like missouri or kansas, surrounding states and kansas city, there is
soldier strong. he founded it and works on it every single day. and he is a hero to me and to many who are helped by his work. chris, great to see you this evening, thanks for being there. we were there to talk to the health science and technology committee about this cutting edge technology, and how it can be integrated into how we continue to serve our veterans. and you feel that the way that we work on technology for the battlefield has to be extended across that bridge until after they come home. absolutely. a lot of the devices that fund are originally funded through darpa, which is the department of defense. once they come home and face the va system, there is no darpa for veterans back here. so we are trying to fill that death valley gap. martha: there are american companies that are making as i said during the hearing, iron man is not just in the movies. they are creating arms that are
