[laughter] don't ride the white brony. after laugh it's -- [laughter] nation, it is exactly 11:32 eastern time, if i had not pre-taped this show four hours ago. [laughter] so i don't know whether congress has passed the compromise plan to raise the debt ceiling. or whether we defaulted and you are watching this from a cave, eating squirrels that you are cooking over a pile of u.s. treasury bonds. [laughter] now, i'm betting default which is why i spent the weekend bottling my own urine to use as drinking water. remember, you want to run it through the brita three times. [laughter] after that, you are golden, or rather you are not. [laughter] but if the unthinkable happens and congress cooperates, there's a silver lining to solvency because this is the best kind of deal-- the kind democrats hate. >> now is this the deal i would have preferred, no? >> we all may not be to be able to supported it or none of us may be able to support it. >> this is not a balanced approach. >> this is a satan sandwich. [laughter] >> stephen: ye

i want to give a big shout out out here, out there to all my bronies who may be watching. [laughter]
