Overview
- The president phoned The Pat McAfee Show after participating in Veterans Day ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery, including a wreath-laying at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
- He claimed veterans give him roughly 92% support and cited a high approval rating at the VA, presenting those figures as his own assertions on the program.
- He said his administration removed people who mistreated veterans and installed what he described as 9,000 staff who "love our Vets," characterizing the staffing changes as a fix.
- McAfee preemptively defended hosting the interview, telling viewers he would speak with the president on Veterans Day and calling him "hilarious."
- Broadcasting from Parris Island, the show highlighted a moment in which Marines offered an "Oorah" and the president responded in kind.
