00:16Hello, I'm Kayleigh Carey. This is Media Miss Minute, where we flag the stories lost in the

00:21noise of partisan media. First, a story largely ignored by right-leaning outlets. As the shutdown

00:27stretches into day three, the Trump administration has frozen $26 billion in federal funds. That

00:33includes $18 billion for infrastructure projects in New York and $8 billion slated for climate and

00:39clean energy programs in states like California and Illinois. Democratic lawmakers call it

00:44politically motivated and warn it could hurt vulnerable communities. Now to a story mostly

00:50overlooked by left-leaning outlets. The U.S. Treasury is now sitting on $1 trillion in gold reserves.

00:56The price of gold shot past $3,800 an ounce on Monday, driven by record weakness in the U.S.
