What if we just paid employees but didn't pay the programming? Wouldn't that solve the problem? What has now been discovered is, oh, no, that definitely doesn't solve the problem. CBS News has reported within the last 24 hours that we now have up to 6,000 different residences for just the Coast Guard, that their power is being shut off because the bills haven't been paid for the last two months. And amazingly enough, utility folks like to be paid. Remarkable. We've got the commandant of the Coast Guard who came out and made a statement that was pretty bold for the commandant to be able to make. (06:31–06:47)
