What's going on everybody and welcome back for another episode of Trigger.

This is Tricket episode number 318.

We're here on Thursday, September 30th.

And let's start off with the pressing news topic of the day.

What is that?

The fiscal cliff here in Washington, D.C., because we're facing numerous roadblocks having to do with the federal budget, reconciliation, the infrastructure bill,

the debt ceiling, all of it is coming to a head.

It's a mess.

Basically, it's a total disaster.

The progressives and the moderates, and this is not really a Republican-led, like, obstruction

effort.

The Democrats are doing a fine job.

They're shredding themselves. I mean, they

the moderates don't like

what the progressists are doing and vice versa.

They're going over the price tag.

Joe Manchin and Christian Cinema are

absolute hard nose

on the reconciliation. As of now.

As of now. I mean, Joe Manchin says

that he wants weeks and weeks and weeks to debate this because he, he, he, mean, the original bill, he says is fiscally irresponsible. I mean, he didn't say that verbatim, but that's basically what he said. No, he said his fiscal insanity. Yeah. That's what he said. So, and Chris and Cinema is just being her saucy self, like, obviously. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. So they... Remember we said that they would not only overcomplicate this on purpose, but also wait till the last minute so they could shove everything in and then just pass it? Yeah. Remember, we said that once ago. Oh, yeah. Well, this is what's happening here. And there seems to be some confusion on what exactly is going on here because there's multiple different parts of this entire thing.

Okay.
