Pickles are good. Friday pickles with ranch. This is surprising the new england lobster roll i would have thought was terrible is delicious. Deep dish pizza is so good. Todd were going to eat chips and you are going to watch fox friends. It starts right now. Shut down showdown. President trump says he is ready to turn the lights out on Congress Unless they fund the border wall. The president issuing this threat treating i would be willing to shut down government if the democrats do not give us Border Security. This president is a bully. Is he not going to shut down anything. We are not going to be intimidated. Wrapping up President Trumps attorney. The man i is a pathological minuter. Manipulator. The President Tweeting we have a very nasty and contentious business relationship. Democrats take aim at the booming economy. President trump is going to take a lot of credit for these good numbers. Dont believe him. The democrats, all they have is Trump Derangement syndrome and they dont wan
and the contrast, frankly, could become very vivid. every democrat in the senate has signed on as co-sponsor to senator feinstein s border bill. if they end up in october in a fight democratic party wants open borders with anybody coming in and republican party that wants to protect americans and control immigration, i suspect the democrats lose that fight by a very, very big margin. maybe 2 to 1. pete: mr. speaker the conventional wisdom amongst polsters, pundits, political folks, you can t have a show down right before the election. it s going to make the president look bad. republicans control the house and the senate, could it cut the other way. could it as you suggest demonstrate how committed this president is to following through on his policies and how far the left has gone in opening these borders? look, if the only issue narrowly drawn is the wall, i don t know that it s a winner. but if the issue is does the united states have the right to control immigration, do
we have the right to block murderers, thugs. ms-13 is a gang dedicated to torture, rape, and murder. this is not hyperbole, this is a fact. sanctuary cities increased danger of crime. 84% of the country, 84% agree that sanctuary cities increase the cost of crime. so, if the president gets in a where the issue is not just the wall but the issue is 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. ainsley: the president ran on this. the wall is nothing new. this is something that he has wanted and his constituents have wanted. you were speaker of the house. what needs to happen to get it through because the majority of americans, at least the ones who voted for him, they wanted this. first of all, i think the president ought to indicate
steve: three of them, indeed. pete is in, brian is out this week good to have you. pete: appreciate being here. i always love hanging out with you guys. steve: let s bring in newt gingrich. is he a fox news contributor. he is the producer of the first american. a new documentary on the life and leg gales of george washington. available now on amazon prime video. mr. speaker, good morning to you. ainsley: we will have to watch that very interesting. good to be with you. ainsley: good to see you. steve: what did you make of the president over the weekend, mr. speaker, saying i might have to shut the government down essentially because i m not going to get the money i need for the wall? well, look, i think he is very committed to protecting americans. i think that everything they have seen about sanctuary cities, about ms-13, about illegal criminals. strengthen his feeling that this is a legitimate national security issue.
that he will sign something which is a down payment. then the democrats have so say think are so opposed to mecketting americans borders they won t make a down payment. if this is the fight he wants he has got to go to the country. he has got to explain it tie it to illegal criminals and to people who we know so around the country and find these intsdz people who have been killed, people who have been tortured. people who have been raped. you look at the total volume of fentanyl and of opioids that come in across the border. and i think the president is make a very strong case. if that s the case, the question is who is more radical? is it more radical to want to have a wall or more radical to want to have open borders? if he can make that clear enough, this will in the end in october be very expensive for the democrats. steve: that could actually
