0:00.0	Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.
0:12.0	Hey everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly show in today's AM special episode.
0:18.3	Today we're going to discuss the curious case of Carlos Watson.
0:24.1	This holiday season, millions of families across America will rely on credit card
0:29.2	rewards to visit their loved ones. But according to our sponsor, the Electronic Payments
0:33.3	Coalition, DC politicians are trying to pass a bill that would lead to the end of credit card
0:38.8	rewards. What? They say the Durbin Marshall Credit Card bill would mandate credit cards run on
0:44.0	alternative networks, not the trusted and stable networks you probably use today. And they say
0:49.6	there's no guarantee that the convenience, zero liability fraud protection, and rewards programs you know and love
0:55.2	will remain. The Electronics Payments Coalition says corporate megastores will make more money while

2:02.4	Oh, it's exploding. It's big. You know, you should go on. So I did what I always do in these
2:08.3	situations. And I had Abby, my assistant, look into whether this is a real person with a real
2:13.6	show and this is something I should consider. And this is a montage of people he's had
2:20.0	on his shows over the years. But this is a sampling that represents what we found when we started
