15
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 3: In terms of not just money, but the scheme and

16
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,600

Speaker 2: And at eleven oh one, Americans who rely on SNAP

26
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: benefits are being told to measure their spending very carefully.

27
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: That's because if the federal government shutdown continues, the benefits

28
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,639
Speaker 2: could vanish come November first.

29
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: This is Jim Ryan. Food prices were rising before the

30
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: federal government closed its doors, and now.

31
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,039

Speaker 1: Cynthia Kirkhardt heads the Facing Hunger Food Bank, which is

33
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: bracing for extreme demand. If SNAP benefits are suspended.

34
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 5: It just means that less food goes to many more people.

35
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 5: And that's not a great position to be.

36
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: In right now for agency search, primarily rural areas in

37
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,720

Speaker 1: Jim Ryan, ABC News.

39

40
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: WBZ News radio this week the state snap benefits are

41
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 2: at risk and they are monitoring for impacts. Meantime, Democrats

42
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 2: on Capitol Hill maintain they will not move to reopen

43
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: the government unless Republicans ensure subsidies for people on Obamacare

44
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: or the Affordable Care Act plans will stay in place.

45
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 2: With all the uncertainty, the Globe reports of the state

46
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: is now sending out notices to people who have insurance

47
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: through that exchange. The notices tell them their premiums will

48
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 2: likely go up if the subsidies are allowed to expire.

49
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,839
Speaker 2: The notices from the Health Connectors say some residents could

50
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: see premiums go up thousands of dollars a year without

51
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: those subsidies, and officials say if they don't stay nearly

52
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: three hundred thousand people in the Bay State could lose

53
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 2: their insurance over the next decade. And for the rest

54
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: of the afternoon, you should have very nice weather. Whatever

55
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,000

118
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,160

00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 2: Vice President telling reporters before he left Israel that the

120
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 2: policy of the Trump administration is that the West Bank

121
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,640
