00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: two weeks now, where day sixteen no end in sight,

18
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: it seems. Here's Rachel Scott from ABC.

00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: Sixteen days into the shutdown, more than four thousand workers

20
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: have been let go. Typically workers are furloughed, not fired.

21
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: But the president's trying to pressure Democrats to back off

22
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: their healthcare demands, saying he will eliminate programs important to them.

23
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 3: They're going to be terminated on a permanent basis. And

24
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 3: it's thousands of people, and it's you know, billions of dollars.

25

Speaker 1: A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from

28
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: firing people during the shutdown, saying evidence would show they

29
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: are illegal. Eleven oh two Governor more Heley says, you

30
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: will put an indefinite hold on about one hundred and

31
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: twenty five million dollars in lawmaker ear marks. The money

32
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: was set to go to local projects, but that's being

33
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: kept back for the time being, considering the murky forecast

34
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: when it comes to federal funds. That being said, her

35
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: budget head Matthew Goorskowitz says he is holding steady on

36
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: tax revenue projections for the fifth year. At this point,

37
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: they are not considering any major moves. And before we

38
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: take a look at traffic. The Trump Administration's multi billion

39
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: dollar bailout to Argentina could be getting even bigger. The

40
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 1: update now from ABC's Elizabeth Scholzen.

41
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 3: Henry Secretary Scott Besson now says the US bailout of

42
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 3: Argentina could double to forty billion dollars. Besson says the

43
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 3: Treasuries working with the private sector to raise another twenty

44
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 3: billion dollars for Argentina, while the US government also took

45
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 3: the unusual step of directly buying pesos for the second

46
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 3: time in a week. This is all intended to prop

47
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 3: up Argentina's struggling currency and to show support for President Newlay,

48
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 3: who's an ally of President Trump, ahead of midterm elections

49
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 3: in Argentina in a few weeks now.

50
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: Some American soybean farmers are not happy about this. They

51
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: are criticizing the administration for boosting the economy of a

52
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: foreign country that's a competitor. They say they're suffering because

53
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: of the White House's trade war with China. Many Chinese

54
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: buyers are going to Argentina instead to get their beans.

55
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: And for the rest of the afternoon, there is a

56
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: chance that we could be seeing some drizzle along parts

57
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: of the Capan Islands. But really the big weather story

58
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: for most of us is the fact that it's going

59
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: to be a bit windy out there today. Looking at

60
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: the current wind gusts out there, we've got overall winds

61
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: about eight to ten miles an hour, some fifteen mile

62
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: an hour sustained winds, but then we start gusting into

63
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: the twenties and even thirties. Seeing a thirty five mile
