Starting with this, another move to expand the maga coalition. Trump is set to address the Libertarian PartyConvention Today in an appeal to their voters. This as his veep stakes sweep heats up. Senator tom cotton is now reportedly on the short list. Yeah joe and its a question more americans are asking themself, is College Worth it . A new study shows mixed feelings as a more americans are buckling up their tool belts. Will its Memorial Day Weekend and the unofficial kickoff to summer, so chip wade has the grills and the gear for the perfect barbecue. The second hour of fox Friends Weekend starts right now. I just came the say hello hello, hello will if pete were here, hed want to play guess the skyline, but its not, its water. Much harder to do. Rachel i dont know where were looking at right there. Will thats a river or inlet that you feel like is close to the coast. Oh, look, i got one of the words. Joey thats pretty good. Rachel very good, will. Are you good at this game, or joey . Joey not at all. Rachel me either. I think a lot of people at home guess along with will and pete, who seem to have an inshare, desire to do this at every single segment. [laughter] joey are you guys keeping score . Rachel oh, yeah, everythings a competition. Its, like, a guy thing. Will were all working, but any big Memorial Day Plans . Rachel yeah. Will what are you doing . Rachel ive got family coming over, barbecuing will what are you putting on the grill . Rachel thats seans department. Rachel he likes are ribs, and the kids like chicken. Will has he got a good dry rub . Rachel literally, the first two times he made it, he has the mechanic he mothers on speed dial. [laughter] now hes per if effected it joey those boys can cook. Well learn more about that. My Memorial Day Plans are to sit on this couch in the morning and then travel and hopefully fish my pond in the afternoon, so thats the plan. Will oh. Yeah . If. Joey i was mowing around it, theres some catfish in there about a 2 foot long. I havent fished it since i moved last year with, and so i think those catfish need to find their way to the are grill. Will oh rachel good idea. Will youre going to clean them yourself . Joey well, yeah. Will put them up on a tree . Its true. Rachel do you have plans for memorial day . Will im going to be with you two later today. [laughter] rachel all right. Well, donald trump is making this race for whos going to get the vice presidency, hes turning it into a reality show, it seems like. The pageant has unexpectedly strong contenders, some say. Hes a strong the contender. Tom cotton, what do you guys make of that . Joey i mean, hes been a strong voice as of late. Not necessarily just for trump, but for issues that people care about a, Americans Care about. For some reason, it seems like the state of arkansas does really well with the trump administration, so its a very red state. Youre not picking up votes if you choose him rachel yeah. Doesnt make sense to me. Joey the traditional sense is your vp either brings votes, money or both. I dont know what enkind of financial backing he has. But President Trump doesnt do things the conventional way. This entire list doesnt really kind of hoe money or votes, it shows people that are strongly conservative and strongly popular right now. Rachel lets look at that list are. Senator tom cotton, as we with just mentioned, north dakota governor doug burgum, florida senator marco rubio, tim scot and and j. D. Vance tim scott. Tom cotton was added to the list, and he kind of seems to fall into more of that neocon side of things and doesnt can seem to be like what, you know, i think that was part of the problem with nikki haley, so im a little bit surprised at that choice. Maybe hes floating it. Who knows if thats really on trumps will its interesting that you bring up nikki haley because donald trump told news 12 reporter that she doesnt have a place on his team. Watch. Is there room for her on your team or better yet your ticket . Well, i think shes going to be on our team because we have a lot of the same ideas, same thoughts. I appreciated what she said. You know we had hamasty campaign, it was pretty nasty, but shes a very capable person, and im sure shes going to be on our team in some form, absolutely. Rachel so that was after a, of course, there was speculation that nikki haley might be on the list and then he threw cold water on that and put out a tweet saying, heck no, shes not on the lust. He list. He made that very clear on that a tweet, but he is striking a more conciliatory tone, wouldnt you say, guys . Joey no, i think hes smart. Its my observation and maybe i have memory problems, but its my observation hes more on message and more in tune right now than i think he was in 2015. In 20151 he was the great disrupter, and in 2024 hes painting himself as the savior with, the fixer. And you cant do it without a coalition. I think he, you know, there was a lot of turnover in the early years of his administration. I think hes much more savvy on what to expect from people both what they promised and what they dont tell you about. And i think this vp pick is probably less important than its been in the last couple of administrations. He doesnt need someone to help him get over the finish line are, or he needs to make sure he picks someone that doesnt stop him from getting there. Rachel yeah. Will i think hes hinted at the fact that he might not name one until the convention rachel what do you think can of the list, will . Will well, i was going to share this share this, i saw kayly mcenaney last night, and she had polling on all of the potential Vice President ial picks, and the only one that had a necessary positive on the Polling Results was tim scott. Joey yeah. Will Everyone Else was either a zero or a negative. Now, thats going to change a lot because a lot of them would be suffering from a lack of Name Recognition, and you can lift Name Recognition over time, but the only one right now, and he was a big net positive over the other rachel yeah, i think it was, like, 6 will was senator tim scott of south carolina. Joey and another name floated, Sarah Huckabee sanders. Listen, sometimes i go places and its not very far, just a block away, but ive got to call an uber or lyft because with walking for me isnt easy. I couldnt imagine walking to the u. S. Border, but if you do and get there, i guess you can just call a lyft or an uber. We had this x from if bill melugin. He say, unbelievable. Border patrol is so overstretched that the Illegal Immigrants who cross here have been waiting for hours for Border Patrol to pick them up. Some colombians got sick of waiting so they called a lyft and just called a lyft and got picked up and drove away. The drivers plates to give her the benefit of the doubt in case she didnt know they were Illegal Immigrants, though i find that a hard to believe because there are dozens sitting here. She may have just committed a federal crime if she did that knowingly. Thats interesting. Rachel just the most unbelievable story. Will and bill said, now, these are official gotaways. Rachel of course. Joey yeah. Rachel and, by the way, this is bill melugin catching that. Theres no other media doing the kind of work that fox is doing on the border. You just wonder how often this has happened. Will even worse, how often are there people that are threats to america . In we dont know these individuals. This is coming at the same time we hear stories about jordanian Illegal Immigrants infiltrating rachel military base. Joey quantico. Will yeah. We had tom homan on a little bit earlier to talk about this growing threat. The department of Homeland Security isnt telling the American People anything. Theyre not identifying who these people are. Now, i understand if they claimed asylum, there are regulations, 2308. 6, you cant release information on an Asylee Applicant to protect them from the country. I get that. But the secretary of Homeland Security has the authority to override that regulation and tell the American People, skew the screw the private regulation. Are these people a National Security threat. Threatsed red flags at a record level. The American People have a right to know if theres a terror the threat in the united states. If. Will there you go. Its, i mean, its joey and will i dont want to, ive tried torque like, struggled this morning. I did that the interview is, dont lean into fear, but its justified concern. Its justified concern that should lead to some rational fear. Rachel yeah, of course. Of course. Joey you know, the brazen nature of it, i dont remember if it was your show or kaylees, we get up and watch the reruns, but with i say this morning footage of these migrants crossing the border wall with this, like, makeshift ladder, and theyre fiting a tug of wasr Patrol Agents who are trying to recover that ladder so they cant keep using it because you know theyre going to go a mile that a way and do the same thing. Theres not enough Border Patrol agents, theres not a big enough wall. It has to be a concerted effort with a lot of elements to it, and our president is doing none of them. Rachel we had Michael Pillsbury on last weekend and i asked him directly because President Trump said theres a very strong possibility if that the chinese increase, which is about an 8,000 increase militaryaged men coming over the cord border, Donald Trumps has alluded to perhaps theyre sort of forming cells and, like, an army inside of our borders. We know that some of the terrorists are probably forming cells, but its just, you know, militaryaged men, chinese here. And i asked Michael Pillsbury if he thought that was a possibility, and he said, yes, absolutely. This is very finally, if you dont know who Michael Pillsbury is, one of the preeminent if experts on china in america right now. So this is very, very troubling. Will absolutely. Rachel to say the least. Will its been a question that weve discussed openly here on fox friends and youve probably discussed within your family, is the cost of College Worth it. Well, according to a new poll, 29 feel that its not worth the cost of going to college. 47 feels its worth it but only without taking out loans, and 22 worth it even with loans. And then you add that to the question of whether or not College Degrees important to get a well paying job, all adults say 25 of all adults say extremely, you know, important in getting a job. 35 , somewhat. 40, not too important. Not at all. Rachel then you get the gop this is another part of this poll gop, lean gop, and 17 of republicans say its extreme extremely or very important,3 33 , somewhat, and 50 said not at all. Democrats, 33 said very, 38 somewhat and 30 not ooh too or not at all. You know, i can see this playing out in my own family. I have three adultaged children, two of them in college. One of them went to college for a semester and, you know, also a happened to go, you know, in the middle of all the Covid Craziness Which Made School so unbearable. He was already a little ambivalent about whether thats what he wanted to do, and he ended up dropping out. He wanted to be in the film industry, and hes doing Something Else and doing the quite well, actually. Hes Making A Living and doing a good job. So maybe, you know, a degree wasnt worth it for him. But we still have a society that in some ways gives a leg up the people with a degree. Ill tell you what, whos really suffering now or e hope well see more suffering with these the ivy leagues with these 90,000 price tags. I think people are saying that is not a good payoff for that kind of education. Jeep jee im pretty passionate about this. My dad was a block mason, and he had four workers that worked for him over the years, tiger in and eugene, or and emmanuel and acl. They had an interesting sort of emmanuel was from if mexico, he came here illegally. His brother, acl, was younger im sorry, emmanuel came here legally, or actually was born here, thats what it was, and his younger brother was illegally here from mexico. His dad heft mexico, came to the states, got remarried and that had a son here, and he left the son in mexico. Well, eventually the american brother brought his mexican brother over. The reason why i say that is the one who was american had a 2year degree at our community college, spoke perfect english, he was an american. He worked manual labor jobs so that his brother would have a translator and they could work together. And and the reason i point that out is i think the Immigration Issue is a big part of this issue about college. We have an entire generation of americans who are told that working in the skills and trades is beneath you. You need to go to college, you need to get a white collar job. And then you had the Fracking Boom in texas, and guys with just a Welding Machine on the back of their truck overnight become millionaires. There are opportunities in this country that we have told americans arent worth it to them, and we create a need in jobs for immigrants to come here, especially Illegal Immigrants. The reason why i think these two issues dovetail together is as young many americans, im not giving up on genz. As Young Americans see the Enterprise Opportunity of using that are their hands to make a living, i think its going the change the need for immigration in a lot of ways. So i think the next president better understand it. Nobody does more than mike rowe. If i president tomorrow, he would be my secretary of education. Not to belittle college, you need an education regardless of what that a looks like. You need to learn are. You need to have a hunger for learning. But not to belittle college, but to bring dignity back to the trades and blue collar jobs that are necessary for daytoday life and take intelligence and skill and time. Apprenticeship is the ultimate way to learn an education. Youre learning with your hands and your mind. And i just tell you, man, im very passionate about this because we dont have enough people that know how to do masonry correctly, plumbing correctly, electrical work. So many of the trades weve lost because those that were masters of it didnt have an apprentice to teach for a decade or two. Rachel right. No, no question about that. Mike rowe for education secretary, that thats i was thinking pete hegseth. [laughter] either one will be an upgrade. Joey well, itd be nice to to get balancing a checkbook into high schools. Rachel thats very true. Will all right, were going to turn to your headline, the judge in Hunter Bidens federal gun case is banning prosecutors from using some evidence in his criminal trial thats expected to begin june 3rd, that includes references to hunters discharge from the navy and his Child Support case in arkansas. The first sons defense arguing, quote, characterizing or referencing unnecessary, salacious details are the exact type of prejudicial inflammatory evidence that has a tendency to make a conviction more likely because it provokes the the motional response in the jury. Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker is doubling down on the message he gave during his Commencement Speech at benedictine conference. He spoke at the Courage Under Fire Gala In Nashville Last Night saying our love for jesus and, thus, our desire to speak out should never be outweighed by the longing of our fallen nature to be loved by the world. Not people, but jesus christ im trying to please. Rachel wow. Will butker9 and the chiefs just got their official invite from the white house after becoming back the back super bowl champions. Thats happening next friday. Rachel by the way, the last time he went to the white house after they won the super bowl, he wore a prolife im trying to remember what was on the tie, but that was his quiet message to joe bidens most radical proabortion administration ever. So hes just very consistent, this guy. Will heres why im dragging this morning. Little sleep. On to the nba a playoffs. Luca secured a gamewinning 3pointer to put the ma a vs up 2200 2200 over pete hegseths minnesota Timber Wolves in the nbas Western Conference finals. Heres luca putting rudy gobert with on skates. Watch. Maneuvers for the lead, got it [cheers and applause] got it what a shot will women im just im just going to be a pro. My mavs are now up 20 toover petes timberwolves. I already started talking trash live on the will cain show. I have no idea if hell answer a. Wow. Will this is going to be embarrassing for him and me. Yo.

I need to rub it in today. And that was pete when they were down 00is 1. Now theyre down 02. [laughter] so lets try. Yall want to call him on fox friends this morning . We wont wake h
