| 0:00.0 | What's going on, everybody, and welcome back for another episode of Trigger. This is Triggered episode number 454 here on Wednesday in May 2nd. |
| 0:07.4 | Apologies, we missed the episode yesterday. Scheduling issue, 100% my fault. But here we are on Wednesday. We wanted to get you two episodes this week. So let's get started. First up, debt ceiling. It's coming down. |
| 0:19.1 | We'll see about that. Here's the thing that I really love. So obviously the GOP passed their plan. Yeah. Biden said, oh, I'm not going to negotiate, even though now he totally caved on that. Yeah. But scheduled the meeting for like next Tuesday. Next Tuesday? And I'm like, if this was... June 1st, we got to get rolling. I'm like, if this was such a pressing issue, don't you think he'd be like, why don't we meet today or tomorrow? It's ridiculous. But the funny thing about this, so Jenny Ellen comes out and says, well, June 1st is now the dead one because we miscalculated and she didn't say that because she would never admit it but they miscalculated |

| 1:38.9 | So, and then apparently also the Democrats are working on a secret plan that's not so secret because everybody knows about it now. |
| 1:45.5 | What's the details of that? |
| 1:46.4 | It's basically, it's to gather petitions for a discharge petition. |
| 1:50.6 | Okay. |

| 2:00.2 | Right, right. |
| 2:00.6 | They just need five Republican votes to get it passed. |
