A winning issue for the president because to hear what your border patrol agents are being struck by rocks, not good. all of us see the video of people attempting to storm the border. it doesnt look like its all families. yes, there are some mothers holding little kids, but there is a lot of unaccompanied men and so i think the president will continue to be able to make hay of this and it will win for him. >> is that a line worth telling? are you suggesting its a lie worth telling to say that th...

What is the expectation? otherwise, supposed to just get hit with rocks and stand there? brian: also plays into the president wanting to fully finance that wall or get 5 billion to build a wall. this is a problem. weave cant keep sending troops down there to put razor wire up in the huge gaps in our border. makes him want to double down. he will shut down the government if he doesnt get his money. steve: listen, on sunday, i think it was about 50 people got through a hole in the wall. we have be...
