Summary

Join Jim and Greg as they cautiously cheer Sen. Joe Manchin for calling the Dems' $3.5 trillion wish list "fiscal insanity." They also welcome the news that Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell was able to force Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to agree to fund the government without raising the debt ceiling. And they're enraged as the government keeps doing more to thwart than assist private rescue missions out of Afghanistan.
