4
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 2: you with us. I'm Nicole Davis. Here is what's happening.

5
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 2: The federal government shutdown is now one day away from

6
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 2: being the longest on record, as millions of Americans stress

7
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: over just how to put food on the table. Two

8
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 2: federal judges here in New England have set deadlines for

9
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 2: early this week to start the process of resuming snap

10
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: food assistance, and hecs J O'Brien reports it's not clear though,

11
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 2: how the White House will respond.

12
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 3: Said, we'll program a lifeline helping put food on the

13
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 3: table for some forty two million Americans like Heather and Fulta,

14
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 3: a single mom of four.

15
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 4: I'm working a ten to eleven hour days, sometimes six

16
00:00:54,320 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 4: days a week, and that's just to meet like bill requires.

17
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 4: So the fact that my food budget is gone is

18
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 4: seriously disheartening.

19
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: Over the weekend, on the Sunday Shows, Governor Morre Heally

20
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 2: spoke about the impact of the snap freeze in Massachusetts

21
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 2: on CBS's Face the Nation.

22
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 5: The impact of this is just devastating. One in Native Americans,

23
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 5: you say, I have about one in seven Massachusetts residents

24
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 5: who are on snap I was at food pantries yesterday.

25
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 5: I mean people across our state do not want to

26
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 5: see people go hungry. But people woke up on Saturday

27
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 5: morning not having access to their benefits.

28
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 2: The governor said, President Trump needs to release the funding now.

29
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: Is it takes a few days to get that money

30
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: loaded onto snap cards for residents to use. At eleven

31
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: oh two, police and the FBI are searching for two

32
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: people who allegedly set off an explosion over the weekend

33
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: at Harvard Medical School. Here's ABC's Andrew Dimbert.

34
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,960

35
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 3: the Department of Neurobiology and other science facilities. Devices were found,

36
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 3: according to authorities, but sources tell ABC News the explosive

37
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 3: device used was not a bomb.

38
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, be terrible if somebody got hurt. I can't even imagine.

39
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 7: Harvard says that building is now reopened and there is

40
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 7: no continued threat to the community. Meanwhile, the FBI is

41
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 7: on scene trying to piece together who did this and why.

42
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 7: No word yet as to a possible motive.

43
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 2: Harvard also says nobody was hurt. There was no structural

44
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: damage to the building, which is being renovated. We have

45
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: photos of the suspects up on our Instagram. You can

46
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:34,040

00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: his home. He had run for both governor and US Senate.

50
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 2: He was in Iraq war veteran, and most recently was

51
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 2: the director of the Harvard Kennedy School's Institute of Politics.

52
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: Governor Moore Heally says Warren spent his life serving others

53
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: and inspiring young leaders. Warren is survived by his wife

54
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: and two children. He was fifty five years old. Kind

Speaker 2: the Capean Islands right now and getting over toward the

60
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 2: south coast. There is a storm coming up the coast,

61
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,120

Speaker 2: showers out there, could also see some showers with this

63

64
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 2: just grazing us, but still it is a possibility it

65
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 2: could get wet from time to time. We have a

66
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,240

Speaker 2: fifty three degrees. Who needs Thanksgiving anyway, That's how it

78
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: appears when you look around these days after Halloween, as

79
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 2: we have now apparently jumped right to Christmas, even where

80
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 2: the first Thanksgiving took.

81
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,839

82
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 8: already dressing their homes up in Christmas cheer. And while

83
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 8: it's embraced by some, the ba humbug frustration is also omnipresent.

84
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: I don't like it at all.

85
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:31,839

90
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 8: A lot of younger people nowadays, it's not even a question.

91
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 8: The day after Halloween it's time to get the holiday

93
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,680

94
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 8: Plymouth has so many awesome Thanksgiving commemoration events. So we're

95
