BRIAN’S OPENING THOUGHTS

Did Gov. Christie ruin House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s chances at ever becoming Speaker because the information he revealed about Boehner was never meant to go public? Brian weighs in!

HOUR ONE

Colonel Lee Ellis, a former Vietnam POW and author of Leading with Honor: Leadership Lessons from the Hanoi Hilton recanted his journey in Vietnam to Brian.  Col. Ellis said he learned a lot from being in captivity, and his experience made him come to grips with the realities of the world as a young man.

HOUR TWO

Chris Stirewalt, FOX News Digital Politics Editor, talked to Brian about the votes Speaker Boehner got yesterday, and whether or not he slipped by with the reelection.  Chris said he did “just fine,” and that one of the main reasons he got reelected is because he kept everyone in the loop, and had few surprises.

**Brian’s interview with former speaker Dennis Hastert was included in Mike Emanuel’s package on Special Report with Bret Baier!**

HOUR THREE

Alisyn Camerota stopped by and recapped the “Pocket Hose” incident from this morning’s FOX & Friends and talked about Brian’s love for “As Seen on TV” products.  Later, Alisyn weighed in on Speaker Boehner’s reelection.

“Something has to be done if we’re not going to become the United States of Greece!” Dr. Larry Sabato joined Alisyn and Brian, and after scolding Brian on wasting water this morning on FOX & Friends, he weighed in on Speaker Boehner’s reelection.
