| 0:00.0 | Well, it looks like the Trump administration and Donald Trump do what they always do. |
| 0:03.8 | They caved in the face of a federal judge's order to fund fully the snap anti-hunger payments by close of business today. |
| 0:12.6 | It appears that $8 billion has been funded by the Trump administration, despite them running to an appellate court to declare that a federal judge's order, Judge McConnell in Rhode Island, unilateral order to fund and to go find the money was somehow unconstitutional, they've actually funded. |
| 0:30.6 | And now states like Pennsylvania are telling SNAP recipients to expect money in their accounts, in their electronic credit cards, |
| 0:38.3 | if you will. Their electronic cards will be fully funded with the allotment for them on average |
| 0:44.0 | $350, which makes the difference between going hungry at night and not. It will be funded |

| 1:55.0 | for a one federal judge unilaterally to order the executive branch to go find money. It turns out that |
| 2:03.4 | the federal government was lying to the judge. They had a pot of money to make the $8 billion |
