Good morning, listeners, Welcome to the White House Daily Briefing
for Monday, October thirteenth, twenty twenty five. President Trump continues
his high stakes diplomatic mission overseas this Columbus Day, with
the President delivering remarks this morning before the Israeli Kanesset
in Jerusale. This follows the major development over the weekend

also scheduled to meet with the families of those recently

Middle East peace agreement. According to Channel News Asia and

American involvement in the region, with the administration eager to

administration is blaming Democratic leaders for the ongoing funding deadlock,
pointing to stalled negotiations over health care tax credits. But

the layoffs resulting from the shutdown also align with President
Trump's stated agenda to reduce the size of the federal workforce.

Congress continues. Despite the shutdown, emergency funds have been shifted

(02:12):
