00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: to skyrocket for millions of Americans and calling on the

57
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: Trump administration to keep snap afloat. But the administration saying

58
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: there's little to no money left. President Trump promising he'll

59
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: negotiate on healthcare after the government reopens, Democrats saying they

60
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:17,040

00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 3: keep SNAP going. The administration did say it will partially

64
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 3: fund the program, but at this point timelines are not clear.

65
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 3: It could take weeks or months to recipients to actually

66
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 3: get those benefits. We've got a wind advisory up until

67
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 3: seven o'clock because, my goodness, it is howling out there

68
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 3: from the west and northwest right now, gusting up to

69
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 3: about thirty five to forty miles an hour. At some

70
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 3: point today we could have winds gusting to about fifty

71
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 3: So one of those days, definitely make sure all the

72
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 3: stuff on the porch is tied down, or your pumpkins,

73
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 3: what's left of them, are not going to be strewn

74
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 3: across the street. We have a lot of sun though,

75
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 3: so that certainly helps. And it's up to about sixty

76
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 3: for the high today, but again certainly not going to

77
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 3: feel like it for tonight. Mostly clear, the wind will

78
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 3: calm down. We've got a loane near forty or so,

Speaker 3: maybe forty five on the coast, thirty five to forty

80
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: if you're inland. Then tomorrow windy again, clouds and sun

81
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 3: a high near sixty. Could have some showers on Wednesday night,

82
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 3: but then on Thursday more sun than clouds, blustery and

83
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: a high in the mid fifties. Right now our temperatures,

84
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,560

Speaker 2: the mayor accepted bonus money payments that he should not have.

103
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: When I was like showing the actual differences in the
