WEBVTT - A Blonde Chick On Fox 0:00:01.960 --> 0:00:06.280 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:10.880 Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong is Joe Getty arm Strong 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:17.360 and Jetty Enough he Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:29.120 The Democrats, remember the Democrats, they shut down the government 0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:30.360 last month. 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.960 They stink caved on the shutdown. 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:36.839 One of the Democrats who crumbled like a granola bar 0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:40.800 in your backpack is New Hampshire Senator and the joker's 0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:42.320 proud aunt, Jeans Shahan. 0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:44.960 Democrats drew a line in the sand. They said we 0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:47.960 are not going over this. And today, after forty one days, 0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:50.320 they pulled out a shovel and a bucket and they 0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:53.120 ate all that sand and got. 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:56.120 Nothing for it. Isn't that great? That is really interesting. 0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:58.240 I didn't watch a daily show I need to today, I 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:02.280 guess John Stewart just went on epic f bomb rant 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:06.880 and anger over the Democrats caving on the shutdown, which 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:08.039 it's interesting. 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.440 On one hand, law that they wrote and passed. 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:14.839 I don't know how they think the Democrats were gonna 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:19.280 hold out and get something. Yeah, I just don't understand 0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:21.479 how they think they were going to win that. 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:25.440 By starving the poor people and not paying the truth. 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:28.480 Well, but that wasn't working, don't. 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:31.160 I don't think for whatever reason, good or bad, you know, 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:36.560 normal people. I don't think we're reacting that much to 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:40.160 the whole snap benefits thing. The media was talking about it. 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:44.520 But the flights, Yes, that got people's attention. That's when 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.720 the shutdown became a topic for conversation, when all of 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.360 a sudden the airports were going to be crazy. Maybe 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:55.559 until Thanksgiving that became so as that grew, you think 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:57.520 that the pressure was going to be on the Republicans 0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:00.160 the cave on Obamacare. Maybe, I don't think. 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:02.360 I'd really like to talk to John Stewart about how 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:06.320 he became so ill informed or misguided on that. Gus, 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:09.040 he's a very bright guy. Meanwhile, I'll tell you who's 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:12.079 getting the blame on the left is so old Chuck Schumer. 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:13.400 Here's a montage. 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:15.400 How much of this do you put at the feet 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:16.200 of Charles Schumer? 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:17.079 Most of it? 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.440 I mean, he's the leader of the Senate, but it's 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.120 time for him to be replaced. 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:22.640 He is not meeting the moment. 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.840 He's out of touch with where the party's base is. 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.000 You know, respect his service, but time to move on. 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:33.720 I think Chuck Schumer his days are over. Yes, Chuck 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:34.400 Schumer should go. 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:36.280 I'm sorry to say Chuck Schumer should go. I voted 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:37.440 for many times. 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.160 The loudest criticism here that the party couldn't keep it 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:43.120 together because the leader, Senator Chuck Schumer, is weak. 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:46.079 If I was a Democrat, I would want Chuck Schumer 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:49.080 to go to just because he's old and you know, 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:51.280 just ain't got no vim or vigor. But what was 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:53.440 he supposed to do? Getting back to the same conversation 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:55.840 we just had. I also heard one pundit, and I 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.880 think this is probably too saying you don't tell senators 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.680 what to do. It's not like being the leader of 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:05.200 the House where you have some power to really force 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:06.840 House members to do this or that. And they're up 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:09.240 for election every two years. Every senator thinks they're going 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:11.760 to be president someday they got a six year term. 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:13.720 You don't tell them what to do. 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.280 You can be the messenger for them, you can get 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:18.680 them together and give speeches, but you don't control them. 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:22.280 Right, They're designed by the Constitution to be slow, careful, 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:26.040 and deliberate and not be bullied anyway. So I thought, 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:30.440 you know, to dovetail off of that a couple of 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:35.119 really interesting stories I've come across about Obamacare in general, 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:40.360 because this fake fight was about continuing COVID air subsidies 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:44.080 that the Democrats themselves had sunseted, which is something nobody's 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:48.320 talking about. But quoting now from the fabulous California Globe. 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:52.840 And last week they've reported on the hackers, crooks and 0:03:52.920 --> 0:04:00.000 bots who'd use stolen identities to fleece California's colleges and universities, 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.640 ripping off taxpayers for billions of dollars. 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:05.880 And that report was really really interesting. 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.600 It is literally billions and billions of dollars going to 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:10.960 like hackers in the Russian mob and the rest of it, 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:12.560 who would use bots to. 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:14.560 Create nonexistent college students. 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.640 Anyway, they Right now we learn of another Obama era 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.080 bot scam, this one in Obamacare. And this is actually 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:25.160 quoting the Blaze. Joe Biden's pandemic era subsidies turned Obamacare 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:28.840 into corporate welfare, sending billions to insurers for patients who 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.880 never file a single claim. At issue are the generous 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:35.240 subsidies the Biden administration created for the Affordable Care Act 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:40.200 policies sweeteners that are slated to expire this December. That's 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:43.560 what this fight was about, making healthcare essentially free for 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:46.880 millions of Americans. These policies have sent enrollment in Obamacare 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:50.279 plans skyrocketing, but a recent study found that they have 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:56.680 also sparked a curious phenomenon an estimated twelve million enrollees 0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:02.680 twelve million without a single claim. No doctor visit, no 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:08.640 lab test, no prescription, no sprained ankle, nothing in the 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:13.600 entire year of twenty twenty four Obamacare expansion, creating an 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:17.360 explosion of phantom patients, including at least six point four 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:20.120 million of them found so far in twenty twenty five. 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:23.839 Among those new now eligible for zero premium plans with 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:27.200 lower no deductible to study found quote that number increased 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:31.039 nearly sevenfold. A whopping forty percent of rollees in fully 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:35.719 subsidized plans fully subsidized had no claims in twenty twenty four. 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.560 In twenty twenty four, a loon taxpayer send at least 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:40.960 thirty five billion dollars to insurers. 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:43.240 They got the money for. 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:46.320 People who paid no premiums and never used their plan. 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:50.960 And you heard that before? How have we not heard 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:51.480 that before? 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:51.920 Yeah? 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:57.400 No kidding, And they point out Katie Grimes, the fabulous 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.320 writer at the California Globe editor points out the entire 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:03.799 goal of Obamacare was to create a system the crashes 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.839 and burns, forcing the US into government controlled socialized medicine 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:10.680 correct and they're getting close to succeeding. Obama himself admitted 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:12.359 that beyond the scenes, we've all heard those tapes. 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:12.760 I think. 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:17.720 Anyway, one more semi related story that I found super interesting, 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:21.039 and again, you know, I'm sorry, I've got to get 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:27.560 to the punchline prematurely. It's impossible for a citizen to 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:33.960 keep track of everything this massive Labrinthian government does. How 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:36.279 can you be a responsible citizen and hold your government 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:37.240 to account when. 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.719 You can't comprehend one one hundredth of what it does. 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:43.080 That's why your system was designed to have limited government. 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:48.080 And you know that that ship has sailed moons ago. Anyway, 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:51.320 this is from Alicia Finley in the Wall Street Journal, 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:57.359 who's absolutely brilliant. Speaking of terrific women in journalism. 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.000 Here's an example of what I'm talking about. 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:04.559 Rama Manual of Chicago, Mayor of Chicago, had a three 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:09.680 hundred and seventy million dollar deficit in twenty thirteen. One 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:13.400 of the main chunks of that deficit was one hundred 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:18.080 and ninety five million dollars subsidizing health insurance for its retirees, 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:20.960 many of whom were too young to qualify for Medicare 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:22.920 because if you work in government, you get to retire 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:27.600 unnaturally young. That one hundred and ninety five million dollars 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:30.600 was projected to increase to five hundred and forty million 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:33.800 by two years ago. At this point, as pension payments 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:39.040 were ballooning. So what did Immanuel do. He dumped all 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:43.320 the city's retirees onto the Obama Care exchanges, where federal 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:45.239 subsidies can reduce premium payments. 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.520 Voila. Chicago's two point. 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:52.000 One billion dollar unfunded retiree health care liability vanished. Now 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:56.200 US taxpayers pick up the tab for Chicago's retirees. 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.440 In their fifties and early sixties. 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:07.360 Detroit, Stockton, California, San Bernardino, California, Blue cities learned that 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:12.960 they could offer their public employee unions unbelievable retiree healthcare plans, 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:16.960 and then as their deficits exploded, they dumped them onto Obamacare. 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:24.360 When Democrats say, we need zillions of dollars of covid era, huh, 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:29.440 subsidies to continue to Obamacare. That's why. That's one of 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:30.720 the big reasons why. 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:36.439 But if you just are kind of an average voter 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.400 and you take in the shutdown in Obamacare through the 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:40.520 mainstream media. 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:40.719 Was. 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.800 Evil Republicans wanting to kick people off their healthcare just 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:47.320 out of meanness. 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:51.000 Right right, because we want people to be sick and 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:52.360 stock if possible. 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:53.200 I love it. 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:56.400 What I like is a kid is sick and hungry. Boy, 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.120 does that help me sleep at night? Now? 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:01.400 A kid who's just sick, that's good. Or kid is 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.600 just starving, that's pretty good. But by god, if we 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:08.199 conservatives can get both, then we just chuckle. 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:09.959 They just love it. 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:11.480 You show me an eight year old boy at a 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:14.360 sprained ankle and no food. That makes me happy. 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:19.640 Oh man, you're bringing a tear to my eye real quick. 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.640 I've got another couple of statistics for you.

But to claim that anybody in particular really 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.280 gets a kick out of making somebody hungry, I mean 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:48.719 it's just nuts. 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:49.320 Yeah. 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:51.640 Yeah, at the risk of overusing this word today, and 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:54.040 I think, am it's perverse, It's I mean. 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:57.520 It's so what are you talking.

Few you know. 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.079 Public employees in a lot of places can retire in 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.800 their fifties or early sixties. They get really nice pensions, 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:46.040 some of whom they've kicked into those pensions to share 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:50.080 the cost, but subsidized health insurance until they become eligible 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:54.320 for Medicare, but governments, few of them have actually set 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:57.680 aside realistic commounts, some money for their retire's future healthcare costs. 0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:01.120 The Reason Foundation does great work, reports that state and 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:05.840 local governments face almost a trillion dollars in retiree medical 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:11.040 obligations in twenty twenty three. That's about three thousand dollars 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:16.400 per American citizen. They've got that giant liability liabilities are 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:19.040 the largest in Blue states. New York is fifteen thousand 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:22.840 dollars per capita in essentially unfunded liabilities. New Jersey it's 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:26.480 almost eleven thousand, Connecticut it's about seven thousand, which lets 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:30.400 workers retire early with generous health benefits. And then then, 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:33.560 and you will see this, when those systems collapse or 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:37.040 get near bankruptcy or whatever, they are bailed out by 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:40.559 the state government or the federal government or whatever, meaning taxpayers, 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:44.720 it's outrageous. Sorry to bring you down or piss you off, 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:48.760 but I don't know, I personally don't like being defrauded, 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:51.240 or at least I like to know I'm being defrauded. 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:55.360 So we're headed into a holiday season and a decent 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:57.800 chance you're going to be traveling around maybe rent a vehicle. 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:01.199 I learned something about renting vehicles last night. It's a 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.120 problem I've had in the past, but apparently, at least 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:04.640 according to the research I've done, there's. 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:05.520 Not a lot you can do about it. 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:08.440 I am not a fan of rental car companies, and 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:11.559 a lot of other stuff to talk about. Stay with us, 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:12.839 arm Straw, Hey Getty. 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:18.120 Many worry the AI revolution will put voice actors out 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:21.120 of work. While some stars are licensing their voices, others 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:24.319 are being built from scratch. Poet Talisia Nicki Jones has 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:27.360 created an AI R and B singer named Zanaia Monet, 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.280 a digital alter ego that lets her turn her poetry 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:33.920 into music. Now, Zanaya has a number one single on 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:37.359 a Billboard R and B chart and a multimillion dollar. 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:40.080 Offer for a recording deal, and on the country charts. 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:43.719 An AI generated country singer named Breaking Rust just hit 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:45.480 number one. 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:47.240 Yeah, we talked about that yesterday. 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:49.880 We can't play the song for copyright reasons, but Joe 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:51.680 and I both listened to it and then it sits. 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:55.679 You know, it's plenty good enough to be a hit 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:59.560 country song, which it is completely AI. I don't know 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:02.640 where the leaves us the whole voice. Actors might lose 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:03.760 their gigs. 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:14.360 Yeah, yeah, oh that's over. Please. Yeah. I can't believe 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:17.080 it's even still presented as a this might happen. 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:21.360 What'll we do? It's going to happen, not might, and nothing. 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:23.000 There's nothing you could do it. 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:26.080 Yeah, pursue another line of work. And I don't mean 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:31.120 to sound cruel or unsympathetic, but when reality backs into 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:36.480 your driveway, there it is. I mean, you can try 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:38.000 to ignore it, wish it away. 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:38.960 It really is. 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:43.000 Being a guy who sells horses for transportation in nineteen 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:46.840 ten or whatever and sing. Some people say fewer people 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:48.560 are going to want to buy horses for transportation. 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:52.040 Yes, yes, this is true. What going to be done 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:52.440 about it? 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:57.560 Nothing? Our mode of transportation has changed, the airing to 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:00.000 fix cars. I don't know if that's hard for people 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:04.680 to grasp or what. Yeah, making of driving, we're into 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:07.320 the holiday season. I often a rent a vehicle this 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:10.360 time of year, usually because I do a one way 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:13.320 trip back to Kansas and then I drive there. We 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:15.120 like road trips, me and the boys, and then I 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:20.200 fly back. I've had quite the struggle in recent years 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:24.720 of I rent a vehicle ahead of time, make sure 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:26.440 I've rent good and ahead of time. And then I 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:28.240 get there to pick it up and they ain't got it. 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:31.960 And then I'm in the holiday crunch with all kinds 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:35.800 of plans and no vehicles available because it's like two 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:38.320 days before Thanksgiving or week before Christmas or whatever. 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:38.800 The situation. 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:42.560 Not the wrong vehicle, no vehicle, Well, they don't have 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:43.600 the vehicle I want. 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:44.920 They have all kinds of vehicles. 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:48.000 I'm not going to drive me intwo like practically adults 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:51.920 halfway across the country and right, and you. 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:52.600 Just can't do it. 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:54.880 So I was asked, I did some research yesterday because 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:56.480 I was trying to avoid that this year. I got 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:59.520 so mad last year when I was there. You remember 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:01.720 I told this story on the air. I started very calm, 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:03.600 but I couldn't get any reaction out of the person 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:06.200 who worked there. And it kind of hurts that they 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:09.160 reacted this way. It really hurts my feelings that they 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:11.120 were was the way that we were thinking. But I 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:13.440 kept saying, do you understand my problem? 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:13.600 Though? 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:15.320 Right? I have a reservation. 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:17.720 I mean it's the classic Jerry Seinfeld bit. You know 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:22.960 how to you know, reserve the car and they just 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:26.040 like looked at me blank face, like they couldn't understand 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:27.640 why I was unhappy with the fact that I'd had 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:31.040 a reservation for a month and then I get there 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:32.160 and you don't have the vehicle. 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:36.040 You don't see that as a problem anyway. 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:38.040 So I spend a lot of time researching this on 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:40.400 groc and chat, bet, chat, GPT, and they want all 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:42.520 the different websites, and they basically said, this is a 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:44.520 problem that happens to people all across the country. There's 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:46.480 not much you can do about it. Here are the things. 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:49.440 You should rent vehicles from two different companies. Hopefully if 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:52.400 you have a backup then one of them will come through, 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:55.200 or you know, a variety of other things. 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:57.880 But there was no there's no getting around it. 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.320 It's just the thing that happens the way our way 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:03.960 the businesses are currently set up. They just like airlines, 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:07.919 they overbook flights. They over sell cars with the idea 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:10.120 of a we want to have as many of them 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:13.320 get paid for during the holiday season as possible, So 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:15.159 we overbook knowing that a lot of people are going 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:17.720 to cancel and change plans. And then if it turns 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:20.680 out that a whole bunch of people don't change their plans. Well, 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:23.399 we've got more people wanting these vehicles than the vehicles 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:23.760 that exist. 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:25.880 So sorry, screw you. You're out of luck. 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:28.879 You're not going home for Christmas or whatever the problem is. 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:31.080 And I'm sure they all glance around at each other. 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:33.960 It's not collusion, but they're aware. Okay, they're abusing people 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:35.600 in the same way over there and over there and 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:38.000 over there. Okay, so we can keep abusing people. Where 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:40.080 are you going to go to the other place there 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:41.800 at the airport that's going to abuse you in the 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:42.480 same way. 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:45.120 Right, And that's something that that's the current system where 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:48.000 it doesn't matter how early you make your reservation, you 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:49.600 still might show up there when you need it. If 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:51.240 it's a busy weekend and they just ain't going to 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:51.960 have a car for. 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:56.680 You, oh well you put the rental agent in a headlock. 0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:58.440 Not sure it would help, but it would make you 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:00.960 feel better. I was close, I was really close. My 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:04.640 son didn't test to that. They were thinking, I don't care, 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:07.600 pretending I'm an hourly employee. 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:09.960 I don't care. It's not much effort to pretend to care. 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:11.359 Okay, we got more on the way if you know 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:14.919 anything about that text line four one five five KFTC. 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:21.920 Armstrong and Getty Christ, then when did you get this information? 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:24.960 We actually just received all of these emails are total 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:28.800 of about twenty three thousand documents actually a few days ago, 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:30.880 so last week, and we've been going through our team, 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:33.280 of course, through all of these very carefully over the 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:34.119 last few days. 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:36.280 We obviously released some today. 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:40.240 We'll be releasing additional documents I'm likely later today. 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:47.320 Okay, we're talking about Epstein here. Oh so forty eight 0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:51.080 hours ago when the whole impasse over the shutdown thing broke, 0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:55.399 I flip on MSNBC at night. They're eleven o'clock show, 0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:57.840 because on the West Coast as to a eight o'clock 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:03.280 and the first thing they talk about is Epstein. I thought, 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:07.679 what I mean, that was so off my radar. I 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:09.400 don't know if I thought I'd ever hear the word 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:12.320 again in my life. I just thought that was completely 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:17.520 last year whatever. And they were actually talking about them, 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:20.520 and the three panelists on there all reporters Epstein, this Epstein, 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:23.000 that this is why the Republicans shut down the government 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:24.760 for so long, and now the Epstein vote's gone. 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:26.000 What Epstein. 0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:28.879 I turned on Morning Joe this morning on MSNBC. I mean, 0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:31.240 because that's a good place to go to for what 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:34.760 Democrats are thinking, that show talking about Epstein. And now 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:38.119 you got this Democratic Representative Robert Garcia, who was on 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:46.320 probably on MSNBC saying they've received twenty three thousand documents 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:50.280 in the last couple of days and they're going through 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:51.360 there very carefully. 0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:54.679 He says there is a massive cover up going on. 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:03.879 So as Byron York writes in the Washington Examiner, Okay, 0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:06.480 you've given us a couple of nuggets, which weren't much 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:11.040 from these documents. Like Trump was angry that Epstein was 0:20:11.080 --> 0:20:16.480 poaching his people, poaching girls from his spa. That wasn't 0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:20.560 new news. And even if even if it were, what's 0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:21.560 the significance of that? 0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:24.800 There is an email quote from Epstein, go ahead, you've 0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:25.160 got the lift. 0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:29.520 There's well, there's a claim that Epstein knew that there 0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:33.280 were girls there and whatever Trump but butru that Trump knew, 0:20:33.280 --> 0:20:35.760 But it's vague and it doesn't even if it's true, 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:38.439 what what does that was Trumps supposed to go to 0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:40.720 the cops or I don't know what even the point 0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:47.320 is of that, and as Byron new York writes Washington Examiner, Okay, 0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:50.919 that's three things you've mentioned. What are the other twenty 0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:56.680
