We have reached the green end to extend the debt ceiling through early December.

The majority didn't have a plan to prevent default, so we stepped forward.

The pathway our Democratic colleagues have accepted will spare the American people any near term crisis.

I think this makes no sense.

Putting it in December is another train wreck we've got to deal with that probably empower Schumer more than us.

So I think this is overall a bad decision.

I understand why Republican leadership blinked, but I wish they hadn't.

I wish they hadn't because I believe we were on the verge of victory that Schumer won this game of chicken.

As two trucks drove towards each other on a country road, what are the other was going to turn or you were going to have a lot of dead chickens.

I wish Republicans hadn't blinked we shouldn't have done that.

Ted? Ted. Ted. I don't think you understand how chicken works.

So yeah, it's got nothing to do with chickens.

Before we get into the actual nitty gritty on this, it would appear to me that Ted Cruz, his whole life, is thought the game of chicken involves chickens.

Right. To chicken trucks go at each other and if nobody steers apart all the chickens die.

What? No, no, there's no chickens involved. It's are you chickens?

Oh, it's in this also idiotic and suicidal.

So the super smart debate team nerd who went to Princeton was a national champion from Texas is trying to like use some sort of cultural reference Texans would get.

But doesn't have any idea what the game of chicken is. I just find that funny.

You have a lot of dead chickens. No, no, Ted. Hey, there are no chickens involved in a game of chicken.

All right. You're not going to believe what I have to tell you about leap frog.
