The deal to reopen the government moves to the House. Airline cancellations ramp up across the country and an abandoned church in Nashville is becoming a creative space for veterans. I'm Daily Wire, Executive Editor John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Tuesday, November 11th. Happy Veterans Day. This is Evening Wire. The nation's longest government shutdown may be nearing an end. Daily Wire political reporter Cameron Arcand has the latest.

House Republican leaders have told members to prepare for a vote to reopen the government as our as 4 p.m. Wednesday. Speaker Mike Johnson urged lawmakers to return to Washington immediately, warning that flight cancellations across the country could delay travel. The House has not taken a funding vote since September when it narrowly passed a short-term bill that Democrats in the Senate repeatedly blocked. But over the weekend, eight Senate Democrats broke ranks and joined Republicans to advance a revised funding measure, signaling that a bipartisan agreement is finally within reach. If the bill passes both chambers, it will head to the president's desk for a single single, Only after the president's signs can the government reopen.

President Trump has pledged to abide by the Senate deal to end the government shutdown, but he's also expressed distaste for the expiring health care subsidies. Here's the president in the Oval Office yesterday. We abide by the deal. The deal is very good. We want a health care system where we pay the money to the people instead of the insurance companies. And I tell you, we're going to be working on that very hard over the next short period of time where the people get the money.

Republican senators caught up in Jack Smith's phone record seizures may soon get their chance to strike back, thanks to a provision quietly tucked into a bill the Senate passed last night. Daily Wire Reporter's actual reports. The provision was included in a bill that funded the legislative branch and was part of the package passed by the Senate to end the government shutdown. It would allow senators to sue for damages if the government access their records without their knowledge. It reads, quote, any senator whose Senate data has been acquired, subpoenaed, searched, accessed, or disclosed in violation of this section may bring a civil

action against the United States if the violation was committed by an officer, employee, or agent of the United States, or of any federal department or agency. The provision applies when their Senate data was obtained or viewed, quote, pursuant to a search, seizure, or demand for information without notice being provided. Senators could be entitled to up to $500,000 per violation, and they would have five years from the date they learned of the infraction to bring a suit. Airlines are expected to cancel around 6% of their flights across 40 high-traffic airports today. The carriers are slashing trips in compliance with the FAA,

which has ordered airlines to cut flights for safety reasons amid the government's shutdown. According to the flight tracking website, Flight Aware, over 1,500 flights have been canceled inside the U.S. and over 2,000 flights had suffered delays by the early afternoon today. The deadly UPS plane crash in Louisville has now claimed 14 lives, according to officials. Daily Wire Assistant Editor Andy Valdez has the latest. The cause of the crash remains under investigation, but video evidence has led experts to believe that a compressor stalled in one of the engines.

This can cause catastrophic damage and eject high-speed debris. The FAA has grounded all aircraft of the same model that crashed pending further inspections. UPS and FedEx, the only major U.S. carriers, operating the MD-11 aircraft have already voluntarily grounded their fleets out of caution. The move could lead to shipping delays as the holidays approach. A bloody brawl erupted at UC Berkeley last night as protesters clashed with police outside a Turning Point USA event. Witnesses say demonstrators, some dressed in black and wearing kaffirs, broke through

barricades, hurling objects, and sparking fights with attendees. Video showed one man bleeding heavily as officers pulled protesters apart. At least two arrests were made, including one for battery. Despite the violence, the conservative student event went on as planned, with organizer and comedic actor Rob Schneider thanking police and sarcastically thanking Antifa for the attention. Here's Schneider during the event. Berkeley, shame on you, Berkeley.

Shame on you. The regents, the academics here, you should fight for free speech. If free speech means anything, it's the right for me to say something that pisses you off. federal officials arrested an illegal immigrant tied to a shooting that targeted border agents in Chicago. Daily Wire immigration reporter Jenny Tear has the story. Federal authorities nabbed an illegal immigrant with a lengthy rap sheet believed to be connected to a shooting targeting border patrol agents in Chicago over the weekend. The suspect whose name has yet to be released publicly hails from Mexico and has previous convictions for aggravated,

unlawful use of a weapon and vehicle, felony possession of a weapon, and illegal entry at the Department of Homeland's security said Monday. The illegal immigrant must remain detained per the Lake and Riley Act. The suspect also has pending charges for allegedly assaulting officers. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino says it's possible there are more suspects on the run. This is what you get with a J.B. Pritzer or a Mayor Johnson and that crazy rhetoric, this individual should not have been in this country. ICE is actively recruiting NYPD officers disgruntled by the election of Democratic Socialists were on Mamdani. With a flood of cash from Trump's one big, beautiful bill, the agency set a goal

to recruit 10,000 new officers to turbocharges the historic deportation campaign. New York City officers already hamstrung by local sanctuary policies are also expected to face new hurdles with Mamdani as mayor. Moundinne previously supported the defund the police movement and seeks to uphold the city's sanctuary status. Following a meeting at the White House yesterday, Syria has joined the U.S.-led coalition to eliminate ISIS. Under the new leadership of President Ahmed al-Shara, who came to power after Bashar al-Assad was overthrown, Syria is positioning itself as a potential U.S. ally against the Islamic State. After talks with Trump, Al-Shara said his government is committed to supporting operations

against the terror group. ISIS gained strength amid years of instability in Syria under Assad. Improved relations between Washington and Damascus could mark a significant step forward in weakening Islamic terror networks across the region. An exploding car in India has left eight people dead. Daily Wire reporter Tim Pierce says the details. The blast occurred in New Delhi near the historic Red Ford Monument. While the investigation is ongoing, some officials have suggested it may have been a deliberate suicide bombing.

No evidence has yet emerged to confirm a motive, but many in India are blaming Pakistan, which earlier this week accused India for an explosion in Islamabad. Tensions between the two countries are longstanding, which, deadly incidents on both sides stretching back decades. Unless evidence points elsewhere, the attack could further raise the temperature between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. China is rolling out a new export control system

designed to keep critical materials out of the U.S. military supply chain. Here's Daily Wire Senior Editor, Joel Neeler, with more. The plan, known as a validated end-user system, would restrict exports of rare earth metals and other key materials to companies with close ties to the U.S. defense sector, potentially hitting aerospace and aviation contractors the hardest. Rare earth exports have already been curtailed amid the ongoing U.S.-China trade dispute. Chinese officials say the new framework is intended to streamline exports to non-military firms

while keeping existing limits in place for defense-related buyers. Unless a broader agreement is reached, many contractors may be forced to seek alternative sources for critical components. President Trump visited Arlington National Cemetery today where he participated in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Vice President Fance and President Trump both spoke to mark the occasion. The most valuable resource that we have isn't the incredible wealth of natural resources of this country, as amazing as it is.

The most important natural resource that we have is that we have hundreds of thousands of young people every single month who sign up to put on the uniform and risk their lives for their fellow citizens. That is a resource we cannot squander. that is a resource we must protect. Everything we have, everything our country has achieved has been purchased by the muscle, spine, and steel of the United States military. We owe it all to the fierce and noble men and women of the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, Space Force, Coast Guard, and the United States Marines.

As we celebrate our veterans today, various restaurants across the country are saying thank yous in their own ways. Applebee's, chilis, and cracker barrel are among the chains offering free entrees, while Chipotle and Starbucks are giving veterans buy one, get one, and free coffee offers. Denny's and IHop are also serving free pancakes and Outback Steakhouse is offering a full three-course meal. Golden Corral's annual military appreciation night is also making a return, marking 25 years of serving free dinners to those who've served. And in a final Veterans Day story, movie star Gary Senees donated $1 million to turn an abandoned church here in Nashville into a creative space for wounded veterans. Daily Wire reporter Lyndon Blake has more. A church on Nashville's

West Side is set for years with no purpose. Creative vets, an organization for wounded veterans, saw the church's potential, but the church came with a hefty price tag of $3.35 million. Thankfully, Seneas saw the potential too. The actor donated $1 million to the organization this year to help buy the church for veterans to have a place to go 24 hours a day to immerse themselves in songwriting, music, and other artistic avenues. Senise told me that the arts are a way to speak to vets who often don't want the help. Here's more from Senise. Learning guitars, songwriting, arts and crafts, painting, all these kinds of things. These can be very, very healing. I've seen these programs work. I'm very supportive of these programs. I'm a musician myself, and I know

what music does for me. There's a great quote that I love by Calvin Coolidge, our 30th president, the nation which forgets its defenders will itself be forgotten. And that makes a lot of sense. Creative Vets executive director Richard Casper celebrated Gary's gift, saying that it will go a long way in helping to expand access to life-saving songwriting and visual arts programs for the veterans, and this will help them drive down the wait list of veterans seeking out creative healing through creative vets.
