Saturday, September 30th, 2023, I'm Jared Halper.

Hundreds of thousands of federal employees are wondering how long they could go without

a paycheck during a government shutdown.

And what you had happened in this end of the shutdown a couple of years ago is that

finally you had all these air traffic controllers going to work, not being paid, and then finally

a bunch of them said we're not going to go to work.

We're tired of this.

And Jessica Rosenthal, this week we had the second Republican presidential debate.

So while the candidates flushed out policy points, was anyone the clear winner, as former

president Trump still dominates the polls.

I think that they were kind of plowing through them to make sure that they got it out there

and got it on the record.

And so I don't think that they landed in the way that they might have.

This is the Fox News rundown from Washington.

How long could you go without a paycheck?

What about showing up to work without knowing when you'll next be paid?

Those are the questions now being asked by hundreds of thousands of government employees

who will be furloughed or asked to work without pay during a government shutdown.

Some members of Congress say they'll defer pay checks, though constitutionally they have

to be paid in the director of the White House Office of Management and Budget Shalanda

Young.

So those kinds of statements are theater.
