Previewing The Sunday Shows
The debt ceiling debate reaches its peak as Congress enters the last weekend before the August 2nd deadline. The weekend shows will focus on the topic as the specter of default and a loss of credit rating loom.
On Saturday, Fox News will air a live special edition of the "The Cost of Freedom" called "Budget Brawl: Taking It to the Limit." Fox News' Neil Cavuto will bring the latest on the debt ceiling and he'll interview political and business leaders including former Sen. Alan Simpson, R-Wyo., Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and several others.
