The Swamp's Gonna Swamp.

Trump was right again, and my favorite rendition of my favorite Christmas Carol next on the AM update.

There is a fight going on or maybe a fake fight going on in Congress right now about an omnibus bill, not just a continuing resolution to fund the government, but an omnibus bill taking place right now in Congress.

There is, of course, the usual cast of characters having the usual sorts of fights that probably will go nowhere. But why is this

happening right now? I want to go back three months ago. Here's Congressman Thomas Massey predicting

this exact moment. I also predicted this would fall right before Christmas. And I believe this

does fall on December 20th.

Now why have we picked December 20th?

Because it's the same reason we pick

always have December 20th.

Everybody up here is human.

There are no AIs or robots in Congress.

And when you get to December 20th, you're five days from Christmas.

You're four days from Christmas Eve.

And you desperately want to be there with your family.

So this is when the leadership here has the maximum influence.

And again, I'm talking to the Democrats and the Republicans

because you've seen it on the Democrat side of the aisle.

They love to pick the week before Christmas

for this showdown because you can smell the jet fuel fumes

over DCA.
