Hello everybody. I'm John Fawson with this Great American show Midday Update for Monday, October 6th.

Happy Monday, folks. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We're now entering day six of the Schumer

Jeffrey shutdown, that government shutdown, that they just seemingly don't care about the American people.

They only care about the illegals and putting them on any sort of government subsidy that's possible.

Now, we do have a little bit of an issue.

A government food aid program known as WIC that helps more than 6 million low-income mothers

and young children will run out of federal money within two weeks unless the government

shutdown ends, forcing states to use their own money to keep afloat or risk shutting

it down completely.

That's 6 million Americans, not illegals.

The $8 billion special supplement nutrient program for women, infants, and children,

also known as WIC, provides vouchers to buy infant formula, as well as fresh fruits, vegetables,

low-fat milk, and other healthy staples

that are often out of financial reach for low-income households. That's right, American households,

not illegal households. The shutdown, which began last Wednesday, coincided with the beginning

of the new fiscal year, meaning programs like WIC, which rely on annual infusions from the federal government

are nearly out of money. Currently, the program is being kept to float by a $150 million contingency

fund, but they're saying it's going to dry up very, very quickly. Speaker of the House,

Mike Johnson, adamant about who owns this thing and what it's going to take to open it back up.

Chuck Schumer, are you listening?

Here's Speaker Mike Johnson.

Everybody needs to understand how this works.
