So just because the poll options are small, here’s the full general ideas.

#1: Reader and Beau had a fling immediately after the divorce but he cut things off because he was emotionally unstable and still dealing with all the emotions and shit (y’all know). However she shows up in Montana as a kidnapping victim because the kidnappers are from the cartel from Texas.

#2: Beau and Reader are sheriff and deputy who got a tip about a possible bank robbery about to go down, but when they arrive at the bank things seem to snowball and go horribly wrong. (Involves hostage situation type shit).

PCW Rewind: Extreme Election Night 2012

PCW Extreme Election Night 2012 Hack’s Rusty Nail Saloon Wauseon, OH Tuesday November 6th, 2012 Host: Johnny Suave

Johnny Suave and his life-size cardboard cut-out of Shania Twain

Loud crowd chant of ‘PCW…PCW…PCW.’   Suave and Shania are in the ring.

Suave- HELLO AND WELCOME TO P-C-W EX-TREEEEEME ELECTION NIGHT 2012!

Crowd- PCW!…PCW!…PCW!

Suave- I am Johnny Suave, the Voice of PCW.  This smoking hot piece of cardboard is Shania Twain.  Tonight, Barack Obama (D-IL) find out if he will have a second four term as PCW CEO.  Opposing him, ‘The Massachusetts Redblood’ Mitt Romney (R-MA).

Suave runs down the card one last time:

Arizona- Jeff Flake (R) vs. Rich Carmona (D) Montana- Denny Rehberg (R) vs. Jon Tester (D) Ohio- Sherrod Brown (D) vs. Josh Mandel (R)Virginia- George Allen (R) vs. Tim Kaine (D) Massachusetts- Scott Brown (R) vs. Elizabeth Warren (D) Connecticut: Linda McMahon (R) versus Chris Murphy (D) Missouri: Claire McCaskill (D) vs. Todd Akin (R)

PCW Tag Team Title Match: Scott Walker’s Rangers: John and Ronnie Walker (R) © vs. Big Union: Big Labor and James the Jeep Worker (D)

PCW Women’s Title Match: Jill Berg (R) © vs. C.J. Lewis (D)

PCW Title Match: Triple R (D) © vs. P.M.C. Banks (R)

Suave- Last night on PCW Extreme Political TV, this went down…

“No Frills’ Chris Escondido Addresses the Independents Escondido says that both the Republicans and Democrats have disrespected independents for years even though they are the ones the power- the ones who swing elections.  He notes that there’s a disagreement between the Dawn McGill-William Daniels Bryan factions and tonight is going to settle all issues.  Tomorrow night is PCW Extreme Election Night and Independents will be there in force.

Bryan vs. McGill for the Heartland Title Bryan again used his wrestling skills to get McGill grounded yet again.  McGill kicked at him but Bryan first locked in a figure four and then the LaBell Lock.  This time McGill found herself in the middle of the ring and out of arm’s reach of the ropes.  This time, McGill had no choice but to tap out.

WINNER AND NEW HEARTLAND TITLE CHAMPION: William Daniels Bryan @ 8:15

McGill handed the belt to Bryan and then raised his arm in the air.  ‘No Frills’ Chris Escondido then joined them along with the rest of the PCW Independents.

Suave- So the Platte Populist William Daniels Bryan is the new Heartland Champion and it appears “No Frills” Chris Escondido is the de facto leader of the Independents.  Will the Independents swing the results here tonight?

Voice- NO!

Out runs Five Thirty Eight’s Nate Silver holding a huge binder of paper.

Nate Silver- This is proof that Barack Obama will be re-elected PCW CEO!  The Independents don’t mean anything.  This does.  It’s all about science and numbers- something the Republicans don’t understand.  Mark my words.  When tonight’s show is done- Barack Obama will be the next PCW CEO.

Then David Axelrod (D) saunters out.

David Axelrod- I’ll go one step further.  If Obama loses tonight, I’ll shave my mustache off.

Suave- There you have it.  Axelrod has put his mustache up as a guarantee that Barack Obama will win tonight.

Suave- Let’s head to the ring for our first match of the night.

Match 1: Jeff Flake (R-AZ) vs. Rich Carmona (D-AZ) Arizonians Flake and Carmona are both first time participants in PCW and vying for retiring Jon Kyl‘s (R-AZ) spot on the PCW Competition Committee.

The big issue over the upcoming match?  Carmona tried to imply that ‘Straight Shootin’ John McCain (R-AZ) and Kyl endorsed him instead of Flake.

Suffice to say, neither McCain nor Kyl were amused and set out to make clear that they were and will be in Flake’s corner.

Ring Announcer Kimber Marshall

Marshall does the introductions and indeed, both the Straight Shooter John McCain and Jon Kyl are in Flake’s corner.  The bell rings and the match is underway.

Flake and Carmona hook up in the middle of the ring.  Flake  shoves Carmona down and sets up for an Elbow Drop… BOOM.. Then another Elbow Drop… BOOM.  Carmona comes back with a back breaker on Flake and then tries an early elbow submission.  Flake escapes and gets dropped by a slingshot elbow. Carmona applies the camel clutch but Flake escapes to the floor.  Flake catches Carmona climbing out of the ring with a low blow.  Carmona goes down.  Flake grabs Carmona’s shoulders, turns him around, and boots him in the ass.  Flake follows with an open hand chop.

Flake rolls Carmona back into the ring and continues to work him over, but Carmona regains control by whipping Flake into the corner.  Carmona retrieves Flake and applies an overhead wrist lock but Flake muscles Carmona to the corner to break the hold.  Carmona heads up top.  Flake tries to knock him off the turnbuckle, but Carmona takes the arm and slaps on the cross arm breaker while hanging over the top rope.

Carmona releases the hold and slides back into the ring.  He whips Flake to the corner and charges in.  Flake floats over into a roll-up pin and gets a two count. Both men get back to their feet, but Carmona regains control and repeatedly punches Flake’s arm.  Carmona tries for another over-the-top-rope cross arm breaker but Flake blocks.   Carmona goes for a back breaker / neck breaker combo, but Flake counters with a drop kick.  Flake tries another drop kick but Carmona catches Flake’s leg and drops to his knees to hyperextend the knee. Carmona wrenches the injured leg around the second rope. Flake tries to get away, but Carmona grabs the injured leg and pulls him down to the mat. Carmona locks in a single leg Boston crab on the injured leg right in the middle of the ring.

Flake tries to crawl toward the ropes, but Carmona pulls him back to the middle of the ring.   Out of nowhere, Jon Kyl jumps into the ring and kicks Carmona.   Then John McCain comes in and…LOW BLOWS CARMONA!  Carmona drops to his knees.  Flake hits a basement dropkick and covers…1…2…3.

WINNER: Jeff Flake (R-AZ)

Suave- John McCain and Jon Kyl come through for Jeff Flake and he wins here at PCW Extreme Election Night 2012!

Outside PCW Owner Bubba Jackson’s Office Two guards stand outside.

Suave- Four years ago, Bubba Jackson announced to the political wrestling world that Barack Obama would follow George W. Bush as the next PCW CEO.  Tonight, will he keep Obama on for another four years?  Or will he choose Mitt Romney?  Stay tuned.  Let’s go back to the ring.

Match #2 Linda McMahon (R-CT) vs. Chris Murphy (D-CT) Two years ago, Linda McMahon (R-CT), wife of WWE Chairman Vince McMahon took on Dick Blumenthal (D-CT) at PCW Extreme Election Night 2010 for a spot on the PCW Executive Committee. Despite McMahon’s wrestling pedigree, she would come up short in the political wrestling arena when her son-in-law, world famous pro wrestler Paul Levesque(Triple H in WWE) accidently clocked her with a sledgehammer.

Now, McMahon is back and this time Vince McMahon himself will be on hand to finish the job his son-in-law couldn’t two years ago, get Linda McMahon on the PCW Executive Committee.

In her way, Democrat Chris Murphy.  Can he overcome the forces of pro wrestling’s most dominant personality- Vince McMahon?  Or will the McMahon family roll past Murphy?

Vince McMahon, Paul Levesque, and Stephanie McMahon-Levesque join Linda McMahon at ringside.  Vince immediately starts talking to the referee as the match begins.  Linda tries to connect with a knee but Murphy moves back.  McMahon knifehand chops Murphy.  Murphy throws McMahon off the ropes and hits a diving shoulder block.   Murphy goes to follow up but Vince McMahon trips him up.

Suave- Are here we go.  I still can’t believe that the chairman of the WWE, Vince McMahon, is here in PCW.

Murphy moves back to his feet and glares at McMahon.  Murphy goes for a body slam but McMahon slips out.  Murphy puts McMahon in the hangman submission.  Vince in the ring and pulls Murphy off.   Vince clocks Murphy with a closed fist and the referee literally has to pull him off.  Vince is sent out of the ring but he stays on the apron and continues a running dialogue with the referee.

Suave- I think he’s saying that’s not how they do things in the WWE.

McMahon hits Murphy with a elbow smash to the face.  McMahon knees Murphy and lifts him for a powerslam- but she’s not strong enough to lift Murphy.  McMahon goes for a hiptoss but is unable to lift Murphy.  McMahon bites Murphy’s arm.  Vince throws a chair in the ring.  McMahon opens up the chair…Murphy into the ropes…drop toe hold onto the open chair! McMahon stands up.  McMahon with an armdrag.  Murphy powers up and then they lockup.  Murphy whips McMahon to the corner of the ring.  Meanwhile, Vince McMahon continues a running commentary to the referee who appears to be getting tired of it.

McMahon jabs Murphy.  Murphy comes back with a swinging DDT and covers. 1…2…Vince in and makes the save.  Vince with the chair.  *WHAP*  Murphy’s down.  Linda’s not in a position to make the cover.  And the referee stops the match.

Suave- WHAT IS HE DOING?  HE’S SENDING THE McMAHON FAMILY TO THE BACK!

The crowd roars and Vince is livid.  Levesque in the ring and he lets the referee have it.  Finally, PCW security intervenes and escorts the McMahons to the back.

Suave- Wow, I’ve never seen anything like that before.

Murphy clotheslines Linda McMahon.  He then goes with a double underhook and piledrives her right into the mat.  Cover…1…2…3.

WINNER: Chris Murphy (D)

Suave- Chris Murphy with the win here and…WATCH OUT!

Vince McMahon is back and he decks the referee.  PCW security again swarm to the ring and McMahon is escorted out of the arena.

Suave-More Extreme Election Night after this.

PCW’s Investigative Reporter Woodward Bernstein…

PCW Investigative Reporter Woodward Bernstein

…interviews world famous swimsuit model Chrissy Teigen.

Chrissy Teigen

Teigen tells Bernstein that she’s glad to be at PCW Extreme Election Night to lend her support to Barack Obama.

This causes some of the more rabid Republicans in the crowd to start booing.  Teigen smiles through it and continues the interview with Bernstein.

The nastiness continues and finally, Kathryn Randall Collins (D), Code Pink (D), and Emily S List (D) come out.

Code Pink- This is proof that the Republicans are waging a war against women!

The Democrats cheer while the Republicans boo.

Then actress Melissa Joan Hart walks out.

Melissa Joan Hart

She tells the crowd that she supports Mitt Romney and that sometimes you have to agree to disagree.

Now it’s the Republicans who cheer while the Democrats are silent.  Code Pink and List look at each other.  Then they attack Hart.

Suave- NOW, WAIT A MINUTE!  WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

PCW Champion Jill Berg (R) runs in and runs off both Code Pink and Emily S List.

Match #3 PCW Women’s Title Match: Jill Berg (R) © vs. C.J. Lewis (D)

The phenomenon known as Jill Berg comes into PCW Extreme Election Night 2012 as a successful businesswoman and one woman force of political destruction.  She faces young C.J. Lewis.  Lewis, a former waitress at Hooter’s,  charged up to the top of the Democratic ranks by defeating long time standard bearer Kathryn Randall Collins to gain a shot at the PCW Women’s title against Berg.

Democrats want this match badly to continue their ‘Republican‘s War Against Women’ mantra.  Can Lewis overcome her lack of experience and pull off an upset win over Berg?

Lewis in the ring, ready to go.

THUMP THUMP THUMP-THUMP-THUMP

The crowd roars.

Suave: “THAT’ SOUND!  IT COULD ONLY MEAN ONE PERSON!”

THUMP THUMP THUMP-THUMP-THUMP

The video screen goes to just outside a dressing room in the back. A police escort is waiting at the door. One of the policemen knocks on the door.

Policeman – Ms. Berg.   It’s time.

The door opens and four large male bodybuilding types walk out of the dressing room surrounding a petite woman, her male assistant, Jerry.

Suave: “IT’S PCW WOMEN’S CHAMPION- JILL BERG!”

The crowd chants “JILL-BERG…JILL-BERG…”

THUMP THUMP THUMP-THUMP-THUMP

“JILL-BERG…JILL-BERG…”

The procession emerges from the back and starts their way down the ramp. The male assistant has a microphone and a portable tape recorder.  He flips it on.

“JILL-BERG…JILL-BERG…”

THUMP THUMP THUMP-THUMP-THUMP

The group then continues towards the ring leaving the police escort behind.

THUMP THUMP THUMP-THUMP-THUMP

“JILL-BERG…JILL-BERG…”

Berg hits the ring, warmed up and ready to go after the earlier altercation.

The bell rings and Berg wastes no time going on the attack. Reverse neckbreaker to Lewis followed by a rolling elbow smash.   Lewis gets hit with a diving elbow smash and the women’s champion is on fire.  At ringside, Code Pink and Emily S List watch as Berg spinkicks Lewis.   C.J. pokes Berg in the eyes to relieve the pressure.  C.J. with a neck scissors but Berg mule kicks her and sends her sprawling.  Berg rolls onto Lewis connecting with a knee.  Code Pink and List interfere and hit a doubleteam gutbuster on the women’s champion. C.J. Lewis gets back to her feet and stares down Code Pink and List.  Berg pops back up and throws her into the turnbuckle.  Berg follows up and smashes Lewis’s head into the corner turnbuckle.

Double axhandle chop from Berg.  Running neckbreaker drop takes C.J. down hard.  Berg locks Lewis in the kneebar but she escapes.  Berg then tosses Lewis out of the ring.  Berg rams Lewis into the corner turnbuckle and the challenger gets a cut as a result.   Berg goes for a belly-to-back superplex but Lewis slips out.  Berg instead hits the jumping sidekick on Lewis.

Suave- So far, Jill Berg’s experience is way too much for the youngster C.J. Lewis.

Back in the ring, Lewis gets hit with a diving elbow smash.  Berg moves in for the kill but Lewis bites her arm out of desparation.  C.J. whips Berg off the ropes and hits a diving shoulder block. Lewis with a headbutt and then a short lariat takes the women’s champion down.

Berg spins and hits Lewis with a back fist.  C.J. whipped hard off the ropes into a clothesline.  Diving elbow smash follows.  Berg grabs C.J.’s head and slams her face into the turnbuckle.  She goes to do it again but this time, Lewis blocks and then drives Berg’s head into the turnbuckle.  Belly-to-belly superplex by Lewis.

Suave- Now the challenger coming back!

Bridging back suplex by Lewis.  She covers…1…2…shoulder up.  Lewis chants start.  Lewis with the body slam.  Cover…1…2…shoulder up again.   Berg rakes her fingers across C.J.’s back. Code Pink and Emily S List again attack.  Doubleteam backbreak to the champion.  Code Pink is going for the Glitter Bomb but wait?

Melissa Joan Hart in the ring with a steel chair.  *WHAP* Down goes Code Pink.  *WHAP*  Down goes List.  Lewis distracted.  Berg back up and chops Lewis.  Berg takes a step back…SPEAR!  She takes a step back…SPINNING HEEL KICK!  Berg lifts Lewis over her shoulder…JACKHAMMER SLAM!  Cover.  Referee counts. …1 …2 …3!

WINNER AND STILL PCW WOMEN’S CHAMPION: Jill Berg ®

Suave- UNBELIEVABLE!  CODE PINK AND EMILY S LIST ARE GOING TO BE PISSED WHEN THEY FIND OUT THEY’VE COST C.J. LEWIS THE MATCH!  HELL, LEWIS IS GOING TO BE PISSED!

Lewis stands up and glares at both Code Pink and List after the match.

MATCH #4  Denny Rehberg (R-MT) vs. Jon Tester (D-MT)

Rehberg and Tester will meet in what has been a hotly competitive run up to their Extreme Election Night match.

Tester is the incumbent member of the PCW Executive Committee while Rehberg currently holds a spot on PCW’s Competition Committee.  This is expected to be a knock down, drag out affair with both men seemingly equally matched.

The difference maker in the match could be a third man- Libertarian Dan Cox.  Will Cox be a spoiler and help Tester pull out the win?

Tester starts by bouncing Reiberg off the ropes and clotheslining him. Tester puts Reiberg in an arm grapevine submission but Reiberg pokes Tester in the eyes to escape. Reiberg gets thrown into the turnbuckle. Tester comes over and rams Reiberg’s head into the corner turnbuckle.  Tester goes for a DDT.  But Reiberg stands up and hits Tester with the belly-to-belly suplex.  Reiberg measures Tester up and drops a closed fist.  Then Reiberg whips him out of the ring.

Tester climbs back up onto the ring apron, but Reiberg kicks him back down to the arena floor. Reiberg follows Tester to the outside.  Tester whips Reiberg into the ring steps.  Reiberg gets back to his feet, but Tester attacks again and rolls Reiberg back into the ring.

Dan Cox (L) now walking to the ring.

Tester locks in a rear chin lock in the middle of the ring.   Boot the face by Tester and a cover for a two count.  Tester works over Reiberg.  Cox comes out and tries to stun gun Reiberg.  Reiberg reverse and slings Cox out of the ring.  Tester bails out too and REIBERG DIVES OUT ON BOTH OF THEM!

Suave- HOLY CRAP!

Cox tries to run Reiberg into the post.   Reiberg reverses.  He whips Cox into the ring post.  Cox stops in his tracks but Reiberg dropkicks him from behind, sending him hard into the steel!

Crowd- PCW! PCW! PCW!

Back in the ring, Tester hits a few suplexes.  Reiberg spins out of a tilt a whirl attempt by Tester and dropkicks him. Tester with a lariat and goes to Irish whip him into the ropes but Reiberg headbutts him and gets free.  He goes for the splash off the top but Tester moves to safety.  Reiberg surprises Tester with a low blow and rolls-up Tester- he kicks out.  Tester pops up ready to go but Reiberg hits him with the DDT! TESTER KICKS OUT AGAIN! Cox comes in to go after Reiberg but HITS TESTER BY ACCIDENT! REIBERG PINS BUT TESTER KICKS OUT AGAIN.

Reiberg brawls with Cox to the outside.  By the time he returns to the ring, Tester’s had way too much time to recover.  Tester in control and throws Reiberg into the railing.  Tester suplexes the actual railing back onto Reiberg.

Crowd- HOLY ****!  HOLY ****!

Tester drags Reiberg back to the ring.  Cover…1…2…3.

WINNER: Jon Tester (D)

Republican War Room Republican Leader Reince Priebus anxiously paces back and forth while his pollsters crunch the numbers.

Both Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and PCW Competition Committee Chair John Boehner (R-OH) burst into the room.

McConnell- Jesus, we’re getting killed out there, Reince!  I thought this was in the bag.

Preibus- That’s what I was told.

Boehner- Now I’m hearing rumors that PCW Owner Bubba Jackson is seriously favoring returning Barack Obama for another four year term as PCW CEO.

Preibus- We’re working on it.

The pollsters hits the phones and try to find out just what the hell is going on.

Suave- So far, the Democrats have the upper hand and this next match is crucial.  Let’s go to the ring.

Match 5: Sherrod Brown (D-OH) vs. Josh Mandel (R-OH)

Six years ago at Extreme Election Night 2006, Sherrod Brown (D-OH) was the outsider taking on entrenched Mike DeWine (R-OH) for a berth on the PCW Executive Committee.

Now the tables have turned and Brown is the insider trying to fight off the challenge of young Josh Mandel (R-OH) and keep his seat.  Can Brown’s experience and guile overcome Mandel’s youthfulness?   The run up has been harsh and contentious and the match at PCW Extreme Election Night 2012 promises to be the same.

Kimber Marshall makes the introductions.  Former PCW Tag Team Champions Big Union: Big Labor and James the Jeep Worker (D) join Sherrod Brown at ringside and they taunt the young Mandel before the bell rings.

Brown immediately on the offense and places Mandel on the turnbuckle.  Front-layout superplex.  Mandel tries a spinning leg lariat on Brown who ducks it.  Brown hits Mandel with the double arm DDT into the mat and then connects with an elbowdrop from the second turnbuckle. Brown climbs to his feet and covers Mandel hooking the leg …1 …2 Mandel kicks out.  Brown grabs Mandel and applies an arm wrench.  Brown covers Mandel. …1 …2 Mandel kicks out again.  Brown hits the German Suplex on Mandel. He knees Mandel and rolls him out of the ring into the waiting arms of Big Union.

Big Labor and James the Jeep Worker work Mandel over.  Brown joins in and elbows the midsection. Big Labor lifts Mandel up…powerbomb through a table.

Suave- HOLY CRAP!

Big Labor rolls Mandel back into the ring.  Brown makes the academic cover…1..2…3.

WINNER: Sherrod Brown (D)

Nate Silver runs out and shouts that “he was right,” “he was right.”  Suave reminds everyone that we won’t know until later on who will be the PCW CEO.

Suave- The Democrats pick up another one as Brown’s experience rules the day.

‘The Self-Proclaimed Savior of the Middle Class’ Big Labor gets on the mic after the match.

Big Labor- Scott Walker’s Rangers!  Did you see what happened here?  This is going to happen to you!

BACKSTAGE Vince McMahon tries to get to PCW Owner Bubba Jackson’s office but security blocks his way.

McMahon- DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?  I’M VINCE ******* McMAHON!  I’VE MADE MORE MONEY OFF PRO WRESTLING IN ONE HOUR THEN THIS PIECE OF **** POLITICAL FEDERATION WILL EVER MAKE IN IT’S LIFETIME.   THERE’S-

(CUE: Def Leppard’s Tear It Down)

Suave: YES!

Extreme Equalizer Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

Suave: IT’S THE EXTREME EQUALIZER- WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT!

Tear it down – There’s got to be a better way Tear it down – I can’t wait another day Tear it down – There’s got to be a better way Tear it down – If only you could stay All night long

Crowd: What the @#$#!…What the @!##!

Extreme Equalizer Whiskey Tango Foxtrot races down the hall.  He grabs McMahon by the hair…kick to the balls.  Lift. Chokeslam.

Crowd- PCW!…PCW!…PCW!

MATCH #6 Claire McCaskill (D-MO) vs. Todd Akin (R-MO)

In Missouri, Claire McCaskill (D-MO) is defending her spot on the PCW Executive against challenger Todd Akin (R-MO).

Early on, the conventional wisdom was that McCaskill was vulnerable.  However, once Akin opened up a big can of controversy over his ‘legitimate rape’ remarks, McCaskill has climbed back into the contest.  Can McCaskill close the deal or will Akin somehow manage to overcome his own missteps to win a spot on the Executive Committee.

McCaskill walked out, kicked Akin in the balls.  Akin to the mat.  McCaskill nailed him again in the balls.  Cover…1…2…3.

WINNER: Claire McCaskill (D)

Once again, Nate Silver runs out and shouts “I told ya!  I told ya!”

Backstage Claire McCaskill high fives an aide as she makes her to the back.  She’s confronted by Richard Mourdock (R-IN).

Mourdock- I can’t believe you did that to him.

Replay: McCaskill vs. Akin McCaskill walked out, kicked Akin in the balls.  Akin to the mat.  McCaskill nailed him again in the balls.  Cover…1…2…3.

Mourdock-��That was totally not called for.  Totally not- OOOF.

McCaskill splits the uprights with a well placed kick and drops Mourdock.

Republican Locker Room “The Mastermind” Karl Rove, as always, pointing to his temple to make sure everyone realizes he’s a f****** genius,  is doing his best to keep a semblance of order.

Suave- Yeah, good luck with that.

Democratic Locker Room Talking with Stephanie Cutter, David Axelrod isn’t nearly as concerned about the welfare of his mustache as he was earlier in the night.

Axelrod- It’s time to unleash the GOTV.

Suave- We’re ready for our next match and it should be a good one.

Match #7 Tim Kaine (D-VA) vs. George Allen (R-VA) George Allen (R-VA) lost a tough match six years ago at Extreme Election Night 2006 to James Webb (D-VA).

Tonight, Allen looks to return to the PCW Executive Committee as he takes on former Democratic Leader Tim Kaine (D-VA). This will be another bellwether match to gauge whether the Republicans will regain control of the Executive Committee and there’s a lot riding on the result.

Suave- I’m not sure if it’s as much of a bellwether now.  It’s clear the Democrats are going to hold the PCW Executive Committee and the Republicans the Competition Committee.

Following Kimber Marshall’s introductions, the bell rings.  Kaine comes out on fire and nails Allen repeatedly with right hands.  Allen whipped into the corner.  Kaine places Allen on the turnbuckle- front-layout suplex.  Kaine gets nailed with a charging axhandle bodyblock from Allen.  Kaine sweeps Allen’s leg and rolls onto him with a knee.  Allen gets right up and nails Kaine with an inverted DDT. He sends Kaine to ringside and follows.  Allen throws a chair at Kaine.  High crossbody by Allen.  Kaine punched in the gut but Kaine comes back with a rake to the eyes and heads back to the ring.  Allen follows but gets pulled back to the floor by the Democrats GOTV (Grapple to Total Victory)- consisting of Bain and Paddy O’Kennedy.

Hey, it was the best we could come up with.

Bain lifts Allen and hits a running powerbomb through a table.

Suave- HOLY CRAP!

Bain and O’Kennedy roll Allen back into the ring.  Belly to belly by Kaine.  Cover…1…2…3.

WINNER: Tim Kaine (D)

Nate Silver again runs out to proclaim that “he was right.”

Republican Locker Room ‘The Mastermind’ Karl Rove can’t believe it.   Republican Leader Reince Preibus can’t believe it.  He again turns to the pollsters.

Preibus – What’s going on here?

Fox News’s Bill O’Reilly walks in.

O’Reilly- I’ll tell you what’s going on.  You’re getting your ass kicked.

Preibus- Where are the Independents?

BACKSTAGE Speaking of PCW’s Independent/Unaffiliated contingent, they enter through a back door into Hack’s Rusty Nail Saloon led by ‘No Frills’ Chris Escondido and Heartland Champion William Daniels Bryan.

An aide comes up to Escondido and tells him that Barack Obama wants to talk with him.  Escondido nods and leaves with the aide while Bryan, Charlie Blackwell, Mike the Mechanic, and Ken Worth- The American Trucker wait.

Suave- Here are the Black Swamp Pirates!”

The crowd stands and cheers as the Pirates come out and plug themselves in. The lead singer, Junior Jackson, strums his acoustic guitar and steps up to the mic.

Jackson- Y’all know this one.  This is our ode to Keith Olbermann.  It’s called ‘Keith.’ Jackson (sings): Keith, you hit it big at ESPN But then your tenure there came to an abrupt end I know it seems so silly They won’t let you back in the building Even when you went back, and worked for them again

“Keith, you didn’t let them keep you down So you traveled on from town to different town Fox Sports didn’t work out well MSNBC the first time was hell Cause Bill Clinton, and Monica was going down “But on Countdown, you found the thing that finally worked So you became even more of an overbearing elitist jerk And now you just don’t care Compared to you Fox News is balanced and fair And you make good ol’ Ann Coulter seem almost moderate to us

All right, let’s go now…

(Big Chorus)

“Keith You’re the hero of the left. And the cultural elitists Who think they’re better than the rest With your furrowed brow Your mocking smile Special Comments serious and terse I might be the worst person in the world But you’re the biggest @######, in the whole wide universe

Jackson- All right, everyone follow the bouncing ball and sing along!

"Keith You’re the hero of the left. And the cultural elitists Who think they’re better than the rest With your furrowed brow Your mocking smile And Special Comments serious and terse I might be the worst person in the world But you’re the biggest @######, in the whole wide universe You said, I was the worst person in the world But you’re still the biggest @######, in the whole wide universe

The Hack’s Rusty Nail Saloon crowd give them a standing ovation. Johnny Suave even gives them a standing ovation.

Match #8- Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) vs. Scott Brown (R-MA) Two years ago, Brown (R-MA) upset Martha Coakley (D-MA) for a spot on the PCW Executive Committee. This year, he finds himself in a battle royale with challenger Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).

Warren, who has Democratic political wrestling stalwarts Code Pink and Emily S List in her corner, is pushing hard to return the Massachusett’s seat back to the Democrats.

Can Brown hold off Warren’s challenge?  Will Warren pick off a seat the Republicans need to take back control of the PCW Executive Committee?   We’ll find out in just four days at PCW Extreme Election Night 2012.

Warren trips up Brown and then hits a corkscrew legdrop.  Brown climbs to his feet and kicks Warren in the groin.  She drops like a shot.

Suave- HOLY CRAP!  DID HE JUST DO WHAT I THOUGHT HE DID?

Warren jumps back up and kicks Brown in the groin just as the Democratic GOTV hits the ring again.  Bain bounces Brown off the ropes and faceslams him onto the mat.  Paddy O’Kennedy gives Brown a reverse neckbreaker.  Bain nails Brown with a huge slingshot sommersault splash.

Suave- The Democrat’s GOTV is kicking ass.  Where’s the Republican answer?

Republican Locker Room Reince Preibus is talking with a rather large gentleman…as in really large.

Preibus- ORCA.  I need you to get in there and take out the GOTV.

ORCA nods and lumbers out the door.

Back ringside,  Brown brawls outside with O’Kennedy but not for long.  Bain sets up a pair of chairs in the ring and powerbombs Brown on them. Warren brings a table into play.  Belly to belly from Bain sends Brown through the table.

Suave- HOLY CRAP!

Crowd- PCW!…PCW!…PCW!

REPUBLICAN LOCKER ROOM Preibus is furious.

Preibus- Where the **** is ORCA?

Cut to…

CONCESSION STAND ORCA’s patiently waiting in line at the ice cream stand.

REPUBLICAN LOCKER ROOM Preibus- SON OF A BITCH!

Back in the ring, Bain rolls what’s left of Brown in and Warren makes the academic cover…1…2…3.

WINNER: Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)

PCW Executive Committee Chair Harry Reid (D-NV) and Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) join Warren and the GOTV in the ring to celebrate.

And yes, Nate Silver again runs out and…yeah.

At ringside, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews is just giddy as the Democrats not only hold the PCW Executive Committee but Barack Obama appear to be on the verge of a second term as PCW CEO.

Matthews- Thank God that hurricane came along!

(CUE: Def Leppard’s Tear It Down)

Suave: YES!

Matthews- NO!  I didn’t mean it like that!

MATCH #9 PCW Tag Team Title Match: Scott Walker’s Rangers: John and Ronnie Walker ® © vs. Big Union: Big Labor and James the Jeep Worker (D)

Ever since Scott Walker’s Rangers won the PCW Tag Team belts at the Loose Cannons Unleashed 8 pay per view, Big Union and the Democrats have been gunning for a return match.  Tonight at PCW Extreme Election Night 2012, the two combustible forces will smash into each other with only one team leaving the ring as the PCW Tag Team champions.

Ronnie Walker and John Walker walk to the ring with Scott Walker.

Suave- This is it…Big Union has been waiting for this match and tonight they get their shot at regaining the PCW Tag Team Title.

PCW Competition Committee Chair John Boehner (R-OH) and Mitch McConnell (R-KY) join Scott Walker ringside as the bell sounds.

Ronnie Walker charges across the ring and nails Big Labor with a charging axhandle bodyblock.  Ronnie springs off the ropes but this time Big Labor clotheslines him.  Ronnie Walker tries to come back with a jawbreakeron but Big Labor pushes him off.  Big Labor tackles Ronnie Walker and punches him repeatedly.

Suave – Big Labor trying to use his power and strength against Ronnie Walker.

Ronnie tries a waistlock suplex but is not strong enough to lift Big Labor.  Big Labor throws him out to the floor.  Big Labor follows and tells Ronnie he wants to wrestle.  Then he promptly nails Ronnie with a folding chair.  Big Labor with a backdrops and Paddy O’Kennedy of the Democratic GOTV follows with a pescado.  Big Labor decides to get mean and dumps Ronnie Walker on the rail. Big Labor throws him over the rail into the crowd. The fight heads out into the fans for a brawl.  Big Labor takes it up a notch by powerbombing Ronnie Walker on the floor.

Suave- Well, he’s dead. It’s over.

The crowd calls for Nurse Nellie and the PCW Clean Up Crew.

Nurse Nellie

Big Labor calls for the bell saying it’s over.  But somehow Boehner and McConnell roll Ronnie back in.

Big Labor chases Boehner and McConnell from the ring and turns and shoulder tackles Ronnie Walker.  Ronnie Walker then whipped into the corner.  He stumbled back out and right into a gut-wrench powerbomb.  Ronnie tries to crawl to his corner but James the Jeep Worker slips in and pulls him across the ring.  Big Labor goes to the top and drops the Elbow on Ronnie Walker.  Cover…1…2…John Walker in for the save.

Suave- No doubt about it.  The Democrats’ GOTV is kicking serious ass here tonight.  What happened to the Independents?

In a back hallway Heartland Champion William Daniels Bryan, Charlie Blackwell, Mike the Mechanic, and the rest of the Independents were sprawled over the floor with the Chicago Boss Squad and the Department of Justice  standing over them.

Suave- Oh…

Big Labor pulls Ronnie Walker up.  James the Jeep Worker in- swinging bulldog on drives Ronnie’s face to the mat.  John Walker again in the ring but he gets intercepted by O’Kennedy.  Ronnie Walker tries for a inverted backbreaker but is not strong enough to lift Big Labor.  But Big Labor can…Powerslam!

BACKSTAGE- OUTSIDE PCW OWNER BUBBA JACKSON’S OFFICE No movement yet.  Security continues to stand guard outside the door.

HALLWAY Karl Rove (R) keeps trying to keep everyone calm.

Back to the ring.

Suave- And now, it all comes down to this.  The PCW Title match.  Let’s go to the ring.

MAIN EVENT- PCW Title Match: Triple R (D)© vs. P.M.C. Banks (R)

Finally, the big one- the PCW Title match.  After several years of trying, after switching parties multiple times and trying new personas, Triple R  finally won the title from The Sanderman (D) at the Democratic National Convention.

Now, the veteran Angry Highway Warrior also known as Road Range Randy gets boy banker P.M.C. Banks ® as his first major challenge as PCW Champion.  In a match that always serves as a bellwether to who will be selected the next PCW CEO, Banks finds himself the underdog to Triple R. in this Tuesday’s title encounter.

Can the young Banks close out Triple R’s title run at a scant two months? Will Triple R take it to the political extreme and retain his PCW Title belt? We’re about to find out.

Marshall- This next match is for the PCW Title. Coming to the ring, the challenger from the financial district of Manhattan, Republican P.M.C. Banks!

Banks slowly comes to the ring accompanied by ‘The Massachusetts Redblood’ Mitt Romney (R-MA), aide de camp candidate Paul Ryan (R-WI), PCW Competition Committee Chair John Boehner (R-OH), Boehner’s aide Eric Cantor (R-VA), and Mitch ‘It’s Your Constitiutional Right to Spend as Much Money as You Want to Buy Influence in Our Government’ McConnell (R-KY).

Banks warily climbs into the ring.

Marshall- And his opponent, he is the ‘Angry Highway Warrior.  He is Road Rage Randy.  But you can call him the P-C-W Champion!  Triple R!

Triple R comes to the ring with PCW CEO Barack Obama (D-IL), Obama’s aide de camp Joe ‘Don’t Call Me Neil Kinnock’ Biden (D-DE), PCW Executive Committee Chair Harry ‘Don’t Call Me Emperor Palpatine’ Reid (D-NV), and Nancy Pelosi.

Triple R goes to the center of the ring and offers his hand to Banks.  Banks cautiously reciprocates but Triple R pulls it away at the last second and knifehand chops the challenger.  The bell rings and it’s on.

Banks runs out and Triple R takes him down with a knee. The champion goes for an arm grapevine submission but Banks gets back to his feet.  Triple R slaps Banks and taunts him.  Triple R picks up Banks and front slams him to the mat. He hooks the leg for an early cover but Banks kicks out.  Banks gets thrown into the turnbuckle.  Triple R comes over and smashes Banks’s head into it and then brings Banks back out and hits jumping neck snap.  Triple R goes top rope but Banks recovers and pulls him down hard to the mat.  Banks drops Triple R neck first over the ropes and then sends him to ringside.  Banks does a cartwheel and kicks Triple R in the face.  Kneeling headbutt to Triple R’s groin.

Suave- And they’re outside.  Not sure this is a good idea for Banks.

Banks starts to head back into the ring but again, the Democrats GOTV: Bain and Paddy O’Kennedy (D) come down and interject themselves into the match. Bain pulls Banks back through the ropes and then wings him hard into the guardrail.   O’Kennedy leaps from the ring apron and dropkicks Banks into the guardrail.  Triple R grabs a TV cable and starts choking out Banks with it.  Romney climbs up on the apron to complain but…

Candy Crowley of CNN

Suave- WHAT THE HELL? CROWLEY’S STOPPING ROMNEY FROM ARGUING WITH THE REFEREE?

While that’s going on, Triple R starts bashing Banks with crap and then lays him over the rail before dropping a leg.   O’Kennedy sets up a table and Triple R can drive Bank’s head through it.

Suave- HOLY CRAP!

Banks is bleeding all over the place.  O’Kennedy dropkicks a chair into Banks’ face for good measure.  Banks falls back on his arm awkwardly and appears to have injured it.  Triple R wastes no time and goes after the injured arm with chairshots.  Triple R with the DDT.  The GOTV set up a table.  Triple R sets Banks up but O’Kennedy miscues and accidently superkicks Triple R.

Suave- HOLY CRAP!  He just took Triple R’s head off.

But O’Kennedy moonsaults Banks.  New PCW Tag Team Champions Big Union: Big Labor and James the Jeep Worker run down and set Banks up on the table.  O’Kennedy with another moonsault but the table doesn’t break.  Big Labor throws Banks back into the ring.  Triple R covers but only gets two.  Big Labor  immediately hits the Scabbuster and Triple R covers…1…2…NO!  ORCA?  ORCA MADE THE SAVE?

Suave- Well, it’s bloody about time he did something.

It’s shortlived.  Both the GOTV and Big Union attack ORCA and drive him from the ring.  Triple R sets up the table in the corner and whips Banks through it.  Cover…1…2…Banks kicks out.  Triple R stomps Banks.  Double arm DDT by the champion and another cover..1…2..somehow Banks kicks out again.  Banks then low bridges Triple R and rallies.  He rains down right hands on the champion.  Banks for the Moneybomb and hits it…but MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O’Donnell, and Ed Schultz race to the ring and complain to the referee.  That brings down Fox News’s contingent of Sean Hannity, Dennis Miller, and Megyn Kelly and while Banks has Triple R pinned, MSNBC, joined by ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox News argue with the referee.

Five Thirty Eight’s Nate Silver sneaks into the ring and whaps Banks in the head with a large book of spreadsheets and Triple R manages to regain control of the match.  Triple R with a forearm. And another.  Banks ducks a third so Triple R hits a sit down powerbomb!  Pissed off, Triple R leaves the ring and goes and gets the ring bell. The referee tries to take it away from him.

Suave- TRIPLE R WITH THE RING BELL!  HE DID THE EXACT SAME THING FIVE YEARS AGO AT LOOSE CANNONS UNLEASHED 3!

Replay: PCW Loose Cannons Unleashed 3 Suave: “HOLY CRAP! IT’S A FREAKIN’ RUMBLE!” Somewhere away from the crowd, Starz’s lariat attempt is blocked when Triple R rips the bell away from the referee and slams it in Starz’s face. Suave: “GAME OVER! ONE, TWO, THREE! THAT’S IT! TRIPLE R HAS REGAINED THE PCW TITLE.!”

Triple R in the ring with the bell.  Romney and Ryan both on the apron to complain to the referee and…what?

Martha Raddatz

Suave- What is SHE doing down here?

Triple R blasts Banks with the bell.  Raddatz shouts at the referee and points to the ring.  The referee turns and Triple R has Banks pinned…1…2…3.

WINNER AND STILL PCW CHAMPION: Triple R (D)

The Democrats in the crowd are ecstatic.  The Republicans?  Stunned.

BACKSTAGE- OUTSIDE PCW OWNER BUBBA JACKSON’S OFFICE

The door opens and out walks PCW Owner Bubba Jackson.

Suave- IT’S TIME!  BUBBA JACKSON IS ON HIS WAY TO THE RING!

Obama, Triple R, and the Democrats celebrate in the ring.

Suave- AND NOW, IT’S TIME TO FIND OUT IF BARACK OBAMA GETS FOUR MORE YEARS AT THE HELM OF PCW OR WHETHER MITT ROMNEY WILL TAKE HIS PLACE!

Silver takes the microphone from Suave.

Silver- I ALREADY TOLD YOU ALL.  THESE SPREADSHEETS PROVE THAT OBAMA WILL BE NAMED THE PCW CEO AGAIN.  I TOLD YOU…I TOLD YOU ALL…I TOLD-

Suave- Thank you.  And now, it’s time…

PCW OWNER BUBBA JACKSON ANNOUNCES THE NEW PCW CEO Jackson thanks everyone for coming out.

Jackson- We’ve been through a lot over the past four years.  The deficit is way too high and PCW is not on the soundest economic ground right now.

David Axelrod says the conditions were bad when Obama started his term in 2009.

Jackson- No.  George W. Bush hasn’t been the PCW CEO for the past four years.   This was a tough call but I have come to a decision.  The PCW mid and lower card wrestlers are struggling hard right now.  Mitt Romney.  You ran a good campaign but in the end- what solutions to our problems did you propose differed than the ones Republicans have proposed in the past?  Cut taxes?  These times call for breaking out of the same old ideas.

Jackson motions to Democrats Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid and Republicans John Boehner and Mitch McConnell to step forward.

Jackson- You along with the current, and next, PCW CEO Barack Obama helped make this mess.  You need to fix it.   It’s Obama.

The Democrats erupt as Obama wins a second term as PCW CEO.   Obama and Romney shake hands in the ring as the scene dissolves to the Des Moines International Airport in Des Moines, Iowa.

Marco Rubio (R-FL)

Rubio exits a plane and climbs into a waiting limo.

Ch.118 - The River

Previous Chapter - Masterlist 1; Masterlist 2 - Next Chapter

Simon and Kiera assist the wranglers by pushing cattle to the far pasture for the winter; Kiera and her brother cross paths, declaring a sibling rivalry as the stakes of the ranch are at a tug of war.

"Pleasure to see you again, Mr. Jenkins." Dennis smiled as he met with Phillip Jenkins as scheduled.

"Likewise, Mr. Dutton," Phillip nodded, reaching over the conference table to shake Dennis' hand. "I'm eager to discuss the valley's future with you."

"As am I," Dennis nodded, sitting down in his chair and unbuttoning his blazer to give himself more room. "I hear you've bought property close to the Jackson Valley Ranch."

"Yes," Phillip nodded. "It's all raw land that we're having to build from scratch. Quite literally, at that. Jackson Valley is your family's ranch, no?"

"Yes, sir. It was named the Dutton Valley Ranch before the land deed was reestablished last year, including the new name," Dennis huffed. "All courtesy of my sister."

"I see."

"Mr. Jenkins, I have a few concerns with regarding your building project on raw land," One of Jenkins' executives chimed in. "What are your plans regarding water and power?"

"The blueprints I’ve forwarded to you state that the Palmer River runs right along his newly-purchased land—”

“The same river also runs through the property line of the neighboring ranch by over 70%, Phillip,” The executive sighed. “In a civil case, the river belongs to the people who live on the land of the ranch.”

“That’s why I’m here, ma’am,” Dennis chimed in with an eager smile. “The river is only a water source for our cattle and to provide a constant water source for not only our livestock, but other wildlife. I can assure you that using the river for the project will be no issue with generating water and electricity for no cost.”

“No cost?” She scoffed. “There’s a cost for everything. How do we not know that you’re secretly seeking half the profit from the build?”

“There’s only a profit if the build is successful. Besides, building an entire subdivision of condos will take over three years to build. If I were seeking compensation or commission, wouldn’t I choose something that would be erected within a year?” Dennis arched his brow.

“Our plans are to have this completed within a year. Two at most.” Phillip assured him.

“Well, the way I see it, it’s the state’s river, not my family’s. I don’t see any harm with using it.”

“But don’t you need a permit for it?” The executive arched her brow, twisting her pen between her fingers. “I mean, it sounds almost too good to be true, Mr. Dutton.”

“I can assure you, it’s not.”

The executive huffed before looking at Phillip from across the table, “Well, the bank’s concern is that you’re going to break ground and the state of Wyoming or the EPA will paper us in lawsuits because you want to build a power plant without a permit.”

Jenkins scoffed, “In the states of Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, and Colorado, a permit isn’t required to build a mine or a mill. I’ll build my own mill and it’ll also allow us to harvest timber straight from the forest of the Teton Valley because let’s face it: tourists are here to see the mountains, not the trees you can’t see from the road or on a ski slope. Harvesting the timber on our own terms will cut the cost by more than 50%,” Phillip explained, standing up to present the blueprints of his plan on the wall in front of the table, pointing at the bend of the river that separated his land from Jackson Valley Ranch. “If we dam the river here, it will give us enough power to generate electricity to light every home in the subdivision. It’ll be a self-sustaining community that’s an hour away from one of the most popular national parks south of the nation’s first. Not only will we be able to generate the power for free, but our residents will have to pay a monthly cost for the power for us to be able to reuse it within the community – like a toll, if you will. Now, I don’t know about you, but I see potential. If the bank doesn’t, then, well, looks like I’ll need another bank.”

“I see the potential,” The executive nodded. “But there’s no restrictions for damming a river? At all?”

Phillip shrugged, “Beavers do it consecutively, what makes us different from them except for fur and buck teeth? It’s our land, so it’s our river.”

“But the river is also on the Jackson Valley Ranch by 70%, Phillip. Even if we got permission from the land owner, they can always change their mind. In the state of Wyoming, there are more head of cattle than there are human beings. In states like this, the livestock industry is what keeps the economy stable.”

“Look, Mrs.?” Dennis spoke up, setting his elbows on the table with an eager grin on his face.

“Steele.”

“Okay, Mrs. Steele, I am a lawyer as well as the land owner for the formerly addressed Jackson Valley Dutton Ranch. I have given explicit permission for Mr. Jenkins to use our river to conduct electricity for his build. Yes, livestock hold a major asset to our state as well as the surrounding states, but the river is a consistent water source for the population of people and wildlife. I can assure you: this will not harm my ranch.”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Dutton. Are you still the primary owner?”

“What kind of question is that? My father left it to me before he passed.” Dennis scoffed. I hope she doesn’t dig deeper to find out I’m lying…

“You’re right, I-I’m sorry.”

“How about we dam it here?” Phillip asked, pointing to the widened river bank that was seemingly closer to the main road of the ranch. “It’s wider and seems to have consistent flow.”

“I think that will be a good idea. It’s not like we use that distinct part of the river.” Dennis breathed nervously.

“Great!” Phillip smiled. “This is Wyoming, people. We can do whatever the hell we want and give the ones hell who try and say otherwise. I’ll have my team go out and flag the area by this evening.”

“Of course.”

“Will you be around? I’d like for you to tour the property with me.”

“Um… Sure. I have another meeting to attend to.”

“No problem. If I don’t see you around, I’m sure we can schedule a lunch. I have a feeling we’re going to be doing business quite frequently.”

“I’m hopeful, sir.”

*

“Baler! Work up to that cow and push her back into the herd!” Kiera shouted from the back of her horse, eager to finish pushing up the other half of the herd to the winter pasture.

A pasture that also bordered closely to the Palmer River to give consistent water flow throughout the rough winter months – its constant flow keeping it from freezing entirely. “There you go! Ride up on her flank!”

“That boy of yours is turning into a real cowboy, ma’am,” The oldest wrangler, Dirk, chimed in. Being a dear friend of her father, Kiera was sure that his heart hurt more after Bud’s passing as they not only worked the ranch together, or served in the Marine Corps together, but Dirk was also Bud’s other half when it came to working the ranch as well as being Bud’s second-in-command to dealing with the problems that came along the way throughout the years – far before Kiera was even born. “Before you know it, he’ll be outriding me!”

“I doubt that, Dirk,” Kiera giggled, slowing her horse to a trot as he rode alongside her. “He’s come a long way with riding a horse. Simon taught him a lot and I’m quite surprised. I never knew Simon had much riding experience.”

“He probably doesn’t,” Dirk snickered. “But he can sure ride the hair off of a horse and soon enough, that kid will be doing the same. Just wait when your two find out what a horse is.” He teased.

“I can’t wait,” Kiera smiled. “I’d start with getting them a little Shetland Pony that’s meaner than hell because I already know my two will be just as mean, probably worse.”

Dirk laughed, “Get ‘em a mean little shit of a pony to teach ‘em how to ride but also have the time of their lives. A few good bucks and they’ll be tougher than a burnt steak.”

“Don’t I know it!” She agreed. “Let’s go in front to push the herd down towards the bend. We’ll get them to see the river while there’s still daylight since they’ve never seen it before.” She directed, referring to the fact that the ranch had to rebuild their bloodline of cattle after losing theirs nearly three years ago to the intentionally planted clover (Refer to chapter Touching Your Enemy for context!).

“Yes, ma’am,” Dirk nodded, clutching the loop of his lariat in his right hand while the coils were in his left along with the reins. “Frankie! Lawson! Push them up the ridge and down towards the river!” He shouted. “I’ll take them down to the bend to check the fence.”

“Alright. The rest of us will push them up from the back and we’ll get them to the pasture in less than an hour.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

She nodded while she rode alongside Simon, flashing him a warm smile when he returned the same gesture. “You sure it’s okay for Teeter to be riding a horse?”

“Babe, she’s perfectly fine to ride up until she’s six months. She has plenty of time.”

“If you say so, love. I just hope Johnny isn’t the only one having to worry about a pregnant spouse,” He smirked, hoping that Kiera was soon to be in the same situation as Teeter. “I don’t think I could run this ranch without you.”

“Sure you can, Simon.”

He shook his head in disagreement while he and Kiera rode alongside each other at a fast trot, soon picking up into a lope when the cattle started moving faster. “The best I can do is ride a horse and rope a cow when I’m lucky that day. Unless there’s someone to shoot in the near future, I don’t have much hope with running this place!” He spoke loudly over the thunderous hoofbeats.

“Well, you worry about that when that time comes!” She poked. “Just know that my father wouldn’t have gifted the ranch to you if he didn’t think you could run it!”

That statement alone made Simon’s heart swell. In truth, he sincerely missed Bud. He saw you as a son, Simon, he reminded himself. If I would’ve never met Kiera, I would’ve wished to have a father like Bud or have him as my own father.

“Baler! Ride next to Johnny on the left to push the herd to the right!” Kiera shouted suddenly, breaking Simon from his thoughts.

“Okay, mama!” Baler answered, doing as he was told while Kiera and Simon stayed behind the herd to continue pushing them forwards while Teeter and Dirk joined together to hold the right side of the herd.

Once they crossed the ridge, the riders stopped their horses at the peak of the hill to overlook the river, unable to see the way the land was changing by Phillip Jenkins’ building plan. “This doesn’t get any better.” She hummed with a warm smile.

“That it doesn’t, love. A lot of work, but worth it.”

“That’s why our family has fought so hard for it. And that’s why we’re going to fight harder to keep it. We need something to give to the kids when our time is up.”

“Well, I can assure you that I’ll fight for this place just as much as I know you will.”

“Mrs. Riley?” Dirk shouted from the bottom of the hill, his voice echoing due to them being in a shallow valley, galloping his horse up the incline with a pair of binoculars in his hand. “You should have a look at this.”

“What is it?” She asked, her brows furrowed, reaching for the binoculars before looking through them herself, seeing two men in suits walking on the other side of the river, seeming to take particular interest in the part of the river that went through the ranch’s land, occasionally pointing back and forth to the bend and out towards the open range that Kiera remembered being for sale at one point. “I’ll be right back.” She huffed.

“Want me to go with you?” Simon asked.

“Why not?” She shrugged. “Might need you.”

He nodded before nudging his horse into a steady trot alongside her, vaguely hearing Dirk address to the rest of the wranglers that they were to hold the cattle in place until instructed otherwise.

Once Simon and Kiera rode through the gate that was purposefully opened not by them, her anger peaked. I’m sure glad we saw this before bringing the rest of the cattle down here, she breathed to herself. Her anger boiled when she laid eyes on her older brother walking alongside a man she hadn’t met before. Judging by the suit he wore, she knew they were talking business instead of hobbies. “I was thinking about you this morning, Kiera!” Dennis chuckled, greeting her with a warm, fake smile as she rode closer to them, Simon staying back a few feet to give her room.

“Funny how you don’t seem to think about me until you need something.” She scoffed.

“We were just talking about this new project he’s building. This is my colleague, Mr. Phillip Jenkins.”

Phillip nodded, “We were just thinking—”

“It pay well?” She scoffed.

Phillip smirked, silently admiring the guts Kiera had to retort the way she did. In a way, not only did it attract him to her slightly more, but he also had the desire to push her buttons as he only assumed her to be a worker of the ranch, not the literal owner with her husband right behind her. “I’m sorry, I didn’t quite catch your name.”

“It’s because I didn’t offer it.”

“I really admire this valley,” He began. “I’m glad I bought it to be able to honor the cowboys and farmers who live here.”

“Pretty hard to honor them when you’re taking the one thing they all need to survive,” She scoffed, a smirk decorating her face when he still didn’t realize that Dennis was not in fact the owner of the ranch, but she wasn’t going to let him know that. If it came down to it, she’d be sure to watch Dennis fall down before she would. “That’s right, there’s not a thing in this valley that goes on without me knowing, Phillip. You want to build a subdivision or condo? Go to Seattle. Wyoming doesn’t want you and Montana surely doesn’t.”

“It’s called progress, Kiera,” Dennis intervened, sensing the tension between she and Phillip. “Progress doesn’t need your permission.”

“In this valley it does, Dennis. You of all people should know that!”

“Why do you care what I build, if I may ask?” Phillip barked, suddenly growing offended. “Suddenly, you’re concerned about the environment? You’re just a dirty wrangler raising his cattle you hypocrite!” He shouted, nodding his head towards Dennis.

She pursed her lips as she moved her horse closer to him, threatening to push them over without a second thought, “That’s where you’re wrong. I am the owner of this ranch, not him.”

“Technically, it’s your husband, Kiera,” Dennis huffed. “You think you can go off and marry the first guy you fuck in the military and dad will just hand the ranch over to him because you’re his favorite? I don’t think so.”

“And you think you can run off to Cody without any connection to the family whatsoever and expect your father to hand the ranch to you because you share the same last name?” Simon interrupted, walking his horse closer to Dennis, pleased at how his face fell into fear at the first sight of him. “I’m Kiera’s husband, by the way. I’d advise you to not speak to her that way again.”

“You know what I think your problem is, Kiera? I think it’s your ego.”

“Well, isn’t that the pot calling the kettle black?”

Dennis scoffed, “I think it chaps your ass to walk around town and nobody knows who you are.”

“You’re damn right it does because every family he moves in is another one I know that moves out,” She growled. “The families we grew up with, don’t you remember? All you give a shit about is money. And that’s why you weren’t considered when dad put the ranch in a Trust. Money will make or break you… Looks like it decided for you.”

“With every winner, there’s a loser.” Phillip added.

“Hard to not agree with you on that.” She sighed.

“You can’t stop it, Kiera,” Dennis warned. “Quit acting like this whole fucking state belongs to you.”

“Watch me. The state may not be mine, but this entire valley is. And it’s going to stay that way.”

“Say that again, Kiera,” Phillip warned. “It’ll make a lawsuit much simpler. Say “say it again or else”—”

She grunted as she then moved her horse closer to him, this time actually pushing him with the shoulder of her horse while the stock of her rifle that nestled in the scabbard pressed against his shoulder. “I’m going straight to “or else” with you. From this point on, “or else” is all you’ll wish for.”

Phillip sighed, grazing Dennis’ arm with his fingers, “Let’s go figure this out in the office.”

“I’ll see you soon.”

“I’ll leave the fucking gate open,” She scoffed. “By the way, you know what they say about a man in a tie, right?”

“No?”

“It’s the leash their master puts on ‘em. I bet he pulls you in by it so you can give him a little knuckle buster under the desk, huh?” She snickered.

“Oh, yes, how mature of you, Kiera.” Dennis rolled his eyes.

“Don’t be mad that I tell it like it is. I bet you suck a dick like there’s a prize inside.”

“Fuck you.”

“Won’t you fight like a man and see what happens when you try to take this place? That’ll be the ultimate fuck you.”

“I will. The only way I know how.” He threatened.

“I will too. Just like I know how. And I can already tell you that your weapon is your mouth and well, we see how far that gets you: under a table between an old man’s knees while I’m over here doing the big girl stuff.”

Dennis and Kiera made eye contact for a few moments, waiting on the other to make the first move to give Simon a reason to intervene. When Phillip grasped Dennis’ shoulders, he motioned for him to follow him back to the vehicle to leave the property before things got even more heated.

“I remember him,” Simon sighed, watching the vehicle drive away. “Back when those bastards killed your cattle. It’s a shame it’s going to come down to this.”

“Don’t worry about it, Simon,” She assured him, although the tone of her voice said otherwise. “This will blow over eventually. I’ll take care of this one way or the other.”

“Well, you fight best with a pen for now, love,” He sighed. “I’m sure glad you know how to use it.”

“Yeah?” She scoffed. “I’m good with my fists, too.”

“Believe me, I know,” He smirked. “But for now, just stick to fighting with a pen and I’ll handle the rest. Can’t have the mother of our children with busted knuckles, can we?”

She shrugged, “I guess not. Let’s finish bringing these cows down and head home. I need to figure out exactly what it is they’re planning. Knowing my brother is involved, he’s going to kick things up a notch.”

“I’ll have Johnny bring down trail cameras. Those blokes seemed to have a lot of interest on our side of the fence.”

“It’s not the fence I’m worried about,” She sighed, looking at him to study his confused expression. “It’s the river.”

“Why would they be interested in the river?”

“I know who that Phillip Jenkins man is. Millionaire from Las Vegas who makes a living at investing and building subdivisions and condos. Why would he buy an empty and flat lot far away from any other town besides Jackson Hole knowing it’s going to be hard to bring basic necessities out here once he builds it?”

“Probably to use the river to conduct electricity?” Simon guessed.

“And to get free fucking water,” She added. “I need to figure out how I can see the building blueprints.”

“Why?”

“So I can fuck him over and send him back to Nevada with his tail between his legs.”

HEART'S BLOOD - CHAPTER 42

*Warning: Adult Content*  

Epilogue - Part 2 - Homecoming

Noah Hunter was right. Freya Hunter doesn’t take it well when Dane Hunter tells he the truth. 

It’s the third morning since he and Julian Hart arrived at the thousand-acre ranch where his parents live with several of his siblings and their families.

‘They all knew Julian and I were coming and everyone had gathered home to meet us... me and my new mate.’

It made Dane’s heart swell with pride and anticipation but Julian was obviously nervous. 

The young psychic had barely spoken on the two-day drive from California to Montana where Dan’e parents had moved after leaving Canada to start their own pack. 

No matter how much Dane had assured him that he’d be welcomed and accepted, Julian continued to worry until the minute they stepped from the car and he was immediately absorbed into a nine-person group hug.

 At last he relaxed. 

Then he went quickly from nervous to overwhelmed amid the press of so many new people showering him with attention and love. 

The Hunter triplets... Travis, Martin and Noah... are each quiet and reserved on their own but get them together and all hell breaks loose. 

They manage to tease Julian mercilessly while at the same time making him feel like the heart of the pack. 

Sasha Hunter wants Julian to model for her photography studio and Ingrid Hunter alternates between telling him about her studies at the music conservatory and asking for demonstrations of his psychic abilities. 

Montreal Hunter... or Monty as he prefers to be called... is quiet at least.

 He is the second eldest after Dane. 

He works as a bodyguard and his protective instinct extends to anyone smaller than himself... which is most things. 

Monty Hunter quickly starts playing defence for Julian, intercepting the triplet’s attacks and interrupting Ingrid and Sasha’s before they can monopolize all of Julian’s time. 

The problem is that Monty hovers and quickly gets over bearing. 

Eventually Dane has to tell him to lay off and puts his alpha authority behind the order so he knows it’s not a request. 

Dane doesn’t like to do that to Monty because he always takes it to heart. 

Dane’s parents are a different story. 

Joseph and Astrid Hunter are an odd pair. 

Dane used to wonder what had drawn them together but now that he has Julian, he can understand a little more. 

They complement each other, one filling in where the other lacks. 

Dane’s mother is tall and fair. 

When she was young was red-gold like fire. 

Now it is silver-grey, it’s pretty and she wears it in a long simple braid down her back. 

She’s a warrior at heart, quiet and strong, ready to act with a force of will that cuts a problem down before it knows what’s coming. 

Dane’s father is smaller than his wife’s statuesque form. 

Smaller than his two eldest sons, Dane and Monty but Joseph Hunter is still well built, broad across the shoulders and chest and very fir for a gut in his sixties. 

His skin is a richer, darker brown than any of his children and he keeps his grey hair closely shaven. 

Even so, he’s undoubtedly and undeniably an alpha. 

Joseph Hunter’s power is quiet but runs deep. 

Mr and Mrs Hunter accept Julian easily, just as they had excepted each of their children and let them discover their own joy and their own truth. 

They make Dane proud to be their son.

‘I’ve always tried to live up to their example of generosity and support, offering my siblings whatever of my strength that I can, which is why it hurts when Freya looks at me, the way she does now, like I’ve done something terribly wrong.’ 

‘Like I’ve betrayed her trust.’

“How could you, Dane?” Freya asks, tears tracking down her face. 

“How could you do that to yourself? To me?”

“Because I love you, Frey,” Dane says, hands spread wide. 

Dane and Freya have retreated far from the house for the sake of privacy. 

Now they stand along the banks of one of the little creeks that flow down from the mountains, the water moving sluggishly below a layer of thin ice. 

The sky above them is white, with thick snow-laden clouds and the first flakes have already started to fall. 

Freya Hunter circles her older brother, hands clenched and teeth bared.

“You love me?” she snarls. 

“If you loved me, you would have told me what you had done. You wouldn’t keep something like this from me, for so long.”

“It made sense,” Dane pleads, shaking his head. 

“Look, Mum and Dad couldn’t take on that kind of debt at their age, Ingrid's just starting out, Travis and Sasha have families of their own and Monty, Noah and Martin don’t make enough money to get that kind of credit. Neither did you, for that matter. That left me. I had the means. How could I not have given you what you needed. I knew you wouldn’t just take it from me, so I...” 

Dane stops, blinking back unexpected tears of his own. 

“Freya, I’m sorry. You were so happy, after your surgery, I just wanted you to concentrate on recovery and enjoying your life. Then the longer I wanted, the harder it was to tell you.”

‘I looks at Freya through a whirl of snow.’ 

‘I look at my sister, who has always been so strong and beautiful.’ 

‘If I have a favourite amongst my sibling, it has to be her.’

“I love you, Freya,” Dane says again. 

“I’m sorry.”

Freya looks Dane, eyes hard with anger but after a moment her expression gradually softens. 

She knows her older brother doesn’t apologize unless he means it.

“Oh, Dane...” 

It sounds like she can barely speak past the tightens in her throat and she starts to cry in earnest as she stumbles towards him. 

“I love you too, you big idiot. You are my hero, big brother. I just hate that you did this and didn’t tell me. I deserved to know sooner. I deserved a chance to give something back.”

Dane catches Freya and holds her tight.

“I know. And you’re my hero to, sis. You are the bravest and the best of us. Your are the brightest star.”

When Freya finally stops crying, Dane lets her go and she laughs and wipes away her tears.

“I’m as sure as hell not the prettiest, though. Leastways, not with snot and tears all over me. Shit. I’ve gotta get myself together before the others see me.”

“Come on,” Dane says, smiling and tugging Freya’s sleeve. 

They walk together along the side of the little creek as it wides it’s way over the land. 

They walk for a long time, not speaking. 

Gradually the snow begins to fall more thickly, until it swirls around them in little wisps of white clouds, caught in the swirling air.

“We better head back,” Dane says. 

“It looks like a blizzard is on it’s way. I’d rather be inside for it.”

“Me too,” Freya agrees and they turn their steps towards home.

When they get there, they find everyone gathered in the large, central room of the two-storey ranch house. 

A fire blazes in the open hearth and the smell of Joseph hunter’s slow-cooked chili and fresh cornbread permeates the air. 

Everyone is laughing and chatting happily until Freya walks straight up to Noah and bitch-slaps him across the face. 

The crack of her palm on his cheek cuts through every conversation, there is a collective gasp and then for a moment everyone holds perfectly still. 

Freya the wraps her little brother in a hug and everyone breaths a sign of relief, though no one except Dane, Freya and Noah, know what’s going on. 

Noah remains wide eyed and frozen for a moment but finally he relaxes and returns her embrace.

“I guess I deserved that,” Noah says. 

“Although it was me who made him tell you, right?”

Freya nods against Noah’s shoulder and holds him tighter.

“Thanks. I love you, you little shit,” Freya says with such affection that everyone laughs, except for Julian, whose brilliance.

Dane realises with a sudden, sharp pain, is the only thing missing from the room.

“Where is my mate?” Dane asks.

“Upstairs, maybe,” Sasha suggests. 

“I haven’t seen him since this morning. I think maybe the triplets were driving him a little nuts.”

“Oh, yeah. That’s right,” Dane’s dad says, rubbing his chin. 

“Julian offered to help me in the kitchen but I told him it was under control so he said he was going for a run, of all things.”

“When was this?” Dane asks sharply.

“Oh, I don’t know, around noon, I guess.”

“Has anyone seen him since?” Dane demands, meeting one confused, clueless gaze after another and no one answers him.

“Shit. Fucking hell,” Dane swears, putting his hand over his mouth, as soon as the words leave it and casting an apologetic look at his mother but he couldn’t help it. 

It’s getting late and at this time of year, darkness falls early and fast. With the heavy snowfall on it’s way, if Julian is still out there...

“We’ll find him, brother,” Freya says, setting her hand on Dane’s arm. 

“Don’t worry about that. We’ll find your mate and bring him home. How’s up for a little search and rescue?” she asks, glancing around the room with a wide smile. 

Nine wolfish grins meet her own. 

“Alright,” she says, rubbing her hands with undisguised glee. 

“Let’s get ‘changed’.”

B-17G-25-DL -42-38078 (Sweet Pea) 429th Bomb Squadron Squadron

Served on antisubmarine duty for several months after the U.S. entered World War II. In October 1942 was re-designated as 2d Bombardment Group (Heavy) and earmarked for combat. The group was transferred on paper to Geiger Field, Washington, where it was re-organized and trained with new personnel.

A B-17G of the 96th BS, 2d BG, dropping its bombs.

The group was made up of four Squadrons, the 20th, 49th, 96th, and the 429th. In November 1942, the squadrons were sent to satellite bases in Montana for additional training as units, the 20th to Great Falls, the 49th to Lewistown, the 96th to Glasgow, and the 429th to Cut Bank. This was the third and final phase of training.

The 2d Bombardment Group and squadrons left their satellite bases on 13–14 March 1943 arriving at Camp Kilmer, New Jersey 17–18 March 1943 for debarkation overseas. The Flight Echelon left the above bases for Morrison Field West Palm Beach, Florida; Natal, Brazil; Marrakech, Morocco and arriving at Navarin, Algeria on 22 April 1943. The Ground Echelon were disbursed at Camp Kilmer in several ships arriving at Casablanca and Port Lyautey in March/April 1943, thence motor and train convoy to Navarin, Algeria. Was initially assigned to Twelfth Air Force.

It arrived at Chateau D'un, Algeria on 27 April 1943. The first mission on 28 April 1943 was to Terranova, Sardinia. The 2d Bombardment Group departed Chateau D'un after flying 25 missions and arrived at Ain M'Lila, Algeria on 17 June 1943 and flew 25 missions from that base. The group departed for Massicault, Tunisia on 31 July 1943 and flew 56 missions from that base.

2d Bombardment Group B-17s form up and begin their climb to altitude from Amendola Airfield, Italy, 1944

Missions flown included bombing such targets as marshalling yards, airdromes, troop concentrations, bridges, docks, and shipping. Participated in the defeat of Axis forces in Tunisia, April–May 1943; the reduction of Pantelleria and the preparations for the invasion of Sicily, May–July 1943; and the invasion of Italy, September 1943.

Moved to Italy in December 1943 and continued operations as part of Fifteenth Air Force. Operated primarily from Amendola Air Base in Foggia. Engaged primarily in long-range bombardment of strategic targets in Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Rumania, and Greece. Participated in the drive toward Rome, January–June 1944; the invasion of Southern France, August 1944, and the campaigns against German forces in northern Italy, June 1944 – May 1945. En route to bomb an aircraft factory at Steyr, Austria on 24 February 1944, the group was greatly outnumbered by enemy interceptors, but it maintained its formation and bombed the target, receiving a Distinguished Unit Citation (DUC) for the performance. On the following day, while on a mission to attack aircraft factories at Regensburg, it met similar opposition equally well and was awarded a second DUC.

Served as part of the occupation force in Italy after V-E Day. Inactivated in Italy on 28 February 1946. Group gunners claimed 279 victories of German and Italian aircraft. Flew 406 combat missions; 146 aircraft lost. www.americanairmuseum.com/unit/246

-her son is large several requests to people in general and they are having a serious effect on what's happening people are noticing that people don't want him to have money but the quasi empire and the empire are not really stopping it that much because they're so fed up with these idiots who don't want them to have anything either and it's a huge war between people and it's between warlock and mostly the trumpsters are stopping it and they're getting killed very large numbers because of the money order idea there's a huge number of money orders being cut and those money orders are going out and they're going to try and find us and what bank and where by tracing down who cashes a check and it's going to be a nightmare for them because they'll say this is not him right here but he has a lawyer and Hera has signatory power and has signed our agreement that if we cannot get him the money to put it into a charity in the local area where it came from. And we're going to go ahead with that now because we have a stack and it's a new one.

-for the war we are seeking out anyone trying to take his money and you're going to go to prison regardless of who you are and we do see a few people and we do intend on arresting you and it gets bigger but you're going down and this letter incidents where people are intercepting we grab all of them every time and there's fighting all the time there's probably 200 million City area or smaller cities and a big cities like two billion a day who die from it and it's going to go up and that's a lot by the way it adds up pretty quick and it's people who are not clones mostly in this tons of stuff and money and things were gathering and taking from them. And her son says it too he said 1 billionaire going to Western is plenty about 5 a day and each major city going to us is sacrilege and it's caused by John remillard who doesn't get anything and we're carving him out of the investment community and businesses and today we're going to carve them out of oil and it's big oil to be full this is Big oil huge systems and giant facilities the facilities are 100 by 20 miles some of them Giant and the systems are massive this huge rigs out there 10 by 10 miles there's massive miles of pipe I mean you have no idea what this guy is giving up is power and we are going to have all sorts of uranium mines by the end of the week and we're pulling them from this moron and he will be out of the parks by the end of next week completely and Nevada will be clear and part of California of his presence and we will begin to building New Vegas we have huge plans and where salvaging tons of stuff and putting it in our position that we can from Vegas signs and all sorts of memorabilia we're purchasing it he wants us to substitute for the original thing and purchase from people The originals and give them the replicas that we make which are fairly decent people can't tell unless they use magnification equipment that's not digital and it's impossible I think it's a good idea and they'll see the stuff again and want to take it over and take the place over to get the stuff back and we're going to go ahead and try and make that deal and it's Elvis's suit that he's pointing at and it is his and there's other things too Paris Hilton had a wedding down there has a wedding down there and it's at the Bellagio and Tommy f dreams of marrying her and the accident went very badly and he felt bad about it and her son says you can't cry over spilled bill spilled the milk and you can make another one. He started laughing and said she's in there I can make one of those he says make one for me so I can make Giants. Start laughing said this kid is insane and probably do anything I wanted no but he's kind of mean he left with a tear design because of what happened and figured out that she needs rescuing he wants to bring it back to figure out what he can get and he'll be surprised what she says. Anderson says it's Doctor Doom everything is over the damn and it's true.

This Tuesday, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell warned members of the Senate Banking Committee that the consequences "could be extraordinarily adverse and could do long-standing harm" if Congress does not agree on a deal by the Treasury Department's estimated summer deadline.

Later that day, the Senate Banking Subcommittee on Economic Policy led by Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Republican Senator John Neely Kennedy of Louisiana held a hearing on the issue in which Mark Zandi, chief economist at the economic research firm Moody's Analytics, warned that it is "absolutely critical that lawmakers either increase, suspend, or verbally do away with the debt limit," adding that not doing so "would push us into a recession."

Warren echoed calls that have been made by Senate Democrats. She said that it is economically untenable to make cuts to current federal spending programs. She also said that the debt limit should not be held hostage by House Republicans eager to do so.

While Kennedy acknowledged that the debt limit provides an "opportunity to talk about our rate of growth and spending," he also said it is "unthinkable" that Congress would not extend the debt limit, saying "if you're gonna have a party, you got to pay the band, and it's time for us to pay the band."

Newsweek spoke with Warren about Kennedy's position following the meeting. Warren also spoke about the signs of bipartisanship apparent in Congress' upper chamber. This is when it comes to the issue of America providing the funds necessary to pay for the spending it has authorized.

"I think that Senator Kennedy took a position that was both smart and courageous," Warren said. "It is critical to raise the debt ceiling, no strings attached, and he's acknowledged that."

Newsweek spoke with Kennedy after hearing about his takeaways and Warren's comments.

"I'm not gonna disagree with the senator," the Louisiana Republican said, "but I'd substitute the word 'obvious' in place of smart. The United States of America cannot default on its debt. Now, I may not agree with how that debt was accumulated, and in fact, I voted against a lot of it. But, spending passed, and we have to borrow money to pay the bills."

Senator Steve Daines of Montana, chair of the GOP Senate campaign arm, told Newsweek "we cannot default."

The sentiment that Congress is committed to paying off its debts and avoiding a catastrophic default may be shared by many Senate Republicans. However, it seems to be much less prevalent among their fellow conservatives in the House.

The Washington Post reported on Wednesday that House Republicans are drafting a proposal that would prepare the U.S. for a default. The House Way and Means Committee announced it would consider a measure that would prioritize some federal payments over others. This is to protect U.S. credit if a debt limit deal is not reached and America proves unable to pay its bills.

"I don't know why I should care what [Senate Republicans] think about all this when we've got a job here in the House to do with the majority to try to get somewhere," Republican Congressman Chip Roy of Texas, a member of the Budget Committee and policy chair of the hard-right Freedom Caucus, told Newsweek. "When the Senate does something useful, then they can come to talk to us."

Roy's sentiment is shared by others in the Freedom Caucus, including Arizona's Andy Biggs and Georgia's Marjorie Taylor Greene. The individuals said they would not accept a raising of the limit without significant cuts. However, despite their desire for cuts and an appetite on both sides of the aisle to reduce the deficit, lowering the national debt within the confines of current GOP commitments presents an uphill challenge.

House Republicans have largely expressed that they would not support cuts to Social Security and Medicare. A significant number within the Conference have also said they would not accept cuts to defense spending. The conference is also against creating additional revenue through tax hikes.

Given these stipulations, The New York Times reports that the government would have to cut 70% of the funding that goes toward programs such as Medicaid, food assistance, farm subsidies, military retirement, anti-poverty programs, veterans' health, transportation, education, law enforcement, research, and foreign affairs.

During Tuesday's Banking subcommittee hearing, Zandi addressed the findings of the March 2023 Moody's report, which predicted that drastic spending cuts, like those estimated in the Times, would spark a "recession in 2024, costing the economy 2.6 million jobs," while also harming the country's "long-term" economic growth.

"Republican cuts would plunge us into a recession and cost about two and a half million jobs," she told Newsweek. "The Republicans need to back off from this."

While senators may be aligned with Warren when it comes to the importance of extending the debt ceiling, Republicans in both chambers remain intent on utilizing this moment to ensure a curbing of the national debt.

Daines spoke directly to this issue in comments to Newsweek, saying, "we also should be able to come up with a bipartisan agreement on some kind of spending reform because the debt is out of control, not sustainable."

Kennedy similarly said that when it comes to the debt ceiling it's about "asking the president to do what we've always done, and that is to negotiate it." He emphasized that he would like to see both parties come together and figure out how they can "reduce the rate of spending and reduce the rate of debt accumulation."

Republican Congressman Buddy Carter of Georgia, a member of the Budget Committee, shared similar sentiments to those of his Senate colleagues. He told Newsweek that while the threats associated with a default "are true," that doesn't mean "we shouldn't negotiate, and we should."

"We pay our bills—there's no question about that," Carter said. "We're not willing to default on anything. We never have, and we're not inclined to accept that, but we need to have some spending restrictions."
