the president former speaker of the house newt gingrich spoke about whether a shutdown would be good for republicans ahead of the election. the president gets in a fight where the issue is not just the wall but a democratic party committed to open borders and wide open migration with no controls versus a republican party trying to protect you from criminals, i think that s a dead loser for the democrats in october. newt gingrich lost the republican majority when he shut down the government. i find that very interesting. he did a couple other things, too. bill: setting up a contrast with the obama, ice issue and setting that up with a president who wants stronger immigration. that s the contrast. the president s policies are popular. i think they do win support. what the republicans on capitol hill don t want is the republicans to get the blame for the shutdown if it comes. the president s interests
coverage. that is a long history personally for him, howie. right. now he overstates the case a little bit. he occasionally gets he does have a legitimate beef here where certainly on the commentary side and a lot of the news stories are framed as anti-trump. salzburger comes back you re jeopardizing lives of journalists around the world particularly in dictatorships. it sounded like it was a good meeting. each side made points and listened to each other. now it s gone public once again we have the hostility coming out and it has become a trademark of this presidency. bill: a lot to talk about, howie. nice show on sunday. see you soon. howie kurtz in washington thank you. sandra: is big brother lurking at our airports? new report says there are federal air marshals watching your every move and it s for your protection. we re live with the details on
there. a million new jobs opened up just last year to people that have no experience. a million new jobs. that was in 2017. we re now well into 2018. sandra: what type of jobs. intel, they re willing to hire self taught programmers. used to be you had to have a degree and experience. even intel is saying that s okay. they are so desperate for people that have that type of experience. it is incredible. look at somebody like the drugstore chains. you could be a branch manager at a bank and not have any college whatsoever on your resume. i won t name a specific bank. think of that type of job that always needed some college. it doesn t anymore because the labor market is so tight. unemployment at record lows. bill: millennials are popping around between jobs. they hold a job for a year or two. is this a reflection of that? it is. you are always seeing more opportunity. any time you can see a job that pay better and more opportunity
senator joe manchin. he is a democrat from a state president trump won easily and he is on the ballot in november. so we expect senator manchin, judge brett kavanaugh to meet at 2:30 p.m. eastern time this afternoon. manchin has been meeting with constituents to discuss the kavanaugh nomination and set up an email address so constituents can email him about kavanaugh. senate republicans are predicting a few democrats are likely to vote yes on kavanaugh. i have zero doubt he will be on the supreme court before the end of october. he is highly qualified, well deserving. we ll break the back of every democratic effort to stop this good man from being on the supreme court. as you ve seen in some of the poll numbers in the states that are red states where you ve got a democratic senator, he is very popular. people want to see him confirmed. in the end he will do very well. bill: kavanaugh is scheduled
bill: rob portman said there could be a million documents. good luck with that. byron, thank you. we ll see where it goes today. big meeting and joe manchin s read-out later today. what s coming up? sandra: a lot more from harvard law professor alan dershowitz. we ll get his take at the top of the hour. bill: trying to get kavanaugh through by october 1 that s the schedule mcconnell set up. right now they re on track. looking forward to dershowitz next hour. rudy giuliani not pulling any punches with the president s former attorney michael cohen. now i ve listened unfortunately, fortunately from my client s point of view to many hours of tapes and the man is a pathological manipulator, liar. bill: in moments why the trump legal team say they think why they believe michael cohen is a reliable witness.
