information? >> well, thanks for asking. the american lifeguard association.com. we offer all kinds of courses and instructional videos. please go check us out. it's really exciting. >> ainsley: thank you for what you do and saving some lives. >> thank you guys for having me. thanks for getting the word out. >> ainsley: you are welcome. the second hour of "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ >> brian: we begin as you just heard with a fox news alert. >> the bipartisan debt ceiling deal heads to the senate. it cleared the house by a wide margin despite dozens of lawmakers voting against it. >> lawrence: so, brian, this is the final tally here. it was 314 to 117 with the majority of those yes votes coming from the democrats. house speaker conservative mccarthy still finding reason to celebrate, getting the majority of his republican caucus on board. >> this is fabulous. this is one of the best nights i have ever been here. i thought it would be hard. i thought it would be almost

impossible. >> we won this public narrative with the support of the american people between president biden and speaker mccarthy, house republicans won from start to finish. >> ainsley: president biden also praising its passage this is what he tweeted out. i have been clear that the only path forward is a bipartisan compromise that can earn the support of both parties. this agreement meets that test. but other lawmakers on the hill arguing it doesn't go far enough to curb spending. some republicans even suggesting there might be an effort to oust speaker mccarthy from his role. >> how do you. >> discussion on the motion to vacate. >> there will be discussion motion to vacate, yeah. stay tuned. >> the discussion about the motion to vacate is going to happen in the next week or two. >> brian: all right. the deal now heads to the senate with four days to go before the default deadline set by treasury secretary yellen. she is very elastic with that deadline depending on how many days president biden needed off, perhaps. for memorial day and resting up after his trip, it's next week. we'll see if the senate is going

to push it through quickly. >> lawrence: brian, i'm so glad you brought up the president because he really didn't play a role. >> brian: but he rushed back from the g-7. >> lawrence: i don't know why. it was his negotiators that were really handling the majority of this. joni ernst and we can go back and forth on whether you agree or disagree with the bill. thomas massie, who has been the person at the forefront of spending and getting this under control said, look, this is the best deal we could get. if you guys wanted to hand it over to mitch mcconnell and schumer and get a worse deal, then go right ahead. i'm telling you right now this is the best we can get. joni ernst a senator from iowa had this to say. it is gravely concerning that no one in washington can actually account for millions sent to russia and china for pointless project. but i have the receipts. i'm shining a light on the reckless spending so bureaucrats can no longer cover up their tracks and taxpayers can know exactly what their hard earned

dollars are funding. i guess the problem i would have with this, ain'tly, a lot of republicans are suddenly talking about this. but when we had control of all of the government, they didn't have that same stance. >> ainsley: well, when you look at the numbers and we put up what our debt is and the numbers just tick and tick and tick. and it's more digits than we can even count or we can even fathom. look at that those are your tax dollars being spent right now. joni ernst worked with this nonprofit transparency group called open the books. together they looked at this new analysis of data from u.s. spending.gov which was between 2017 and 2022. to see just how your funds were being spent. >> lawrence: this is crazy. >> ainsley: this is all money that went to china and went to russia. 6 million in tech support to china of u.s. military software that helps with equipment and supply delivery. joni ernst has a problem with that because she is a vet. she flagged it. she said it should be especially concerning for americans because the dod inspector general has

warned the pentagon about using chinese companies on government projects. >> brian: there is sanctions on russia. we are not supposed to be selling anything like that. 4.7 million for health insurance company in russia? are you crazy? 2.4 million for alcohol and addiction and research in russia? 2 million state run wuhan institute of virology. >> ainsley: we sent money to wuhan. 2 million. >> brian: 770 million for the state. >> ainsley: thousand. >> brian: put cats on tread mills. >> ainsley: that sounds like the shrimp on treadmill. >> and gender awareness in china. our state department is crazed with this whole gender awareness and same sex marriage and trying to push that around the globe and green projects instead of what's in the best interest of america. it's unbelievable. >> ainsley: yeah she is saying she is pledging to stop that we did hear speaker mccarthy whether or not you like the bill or not. we did hear him say we are spending less next year than we

did this year that hasn't happened in 10 years. lawrence lawrence the reigns act was supposed to cut $2 trillion every single year. but unfortunately they were unable to pass it. they said the senate would it never vote for it. the president would never sign it. what we were able to do is get all this stuff sent back to the probations committee. those are 12 appropriation bills. this is regular order. so i'm just honing when the republicans get all levers of government, we can take this to the next step when the senate goes back to regular order, as well as the white house. >> ainsley: how infuriating is that when you know you get up every day. y'all are getting ready for work right now. putting kids on the bus and going to work. many going to a job you don't like. and you look at these numbers. and you know that some of your tax dollars, 50% of your paycheck probably is going to all of these pet projects in other countries. >> brian: right. inspector general horowitz to

get involved in the department of justice to look into this. because someone signed off on it. who would sign off on anything to russia. we are not supposed to be selling t-shirts or china, too, in particular. but we'll talk about that. meanwhile, there's another major story brewing out there. >> lawrence: fbi director christopher wray will face a contempt of congress vote coming up. >> ainsley: this after republican leaders turning down his offer to privately review. this is what he said y'all can go and do to comer. privately review informant file that allegedly links president joe biden to a major bribery scheme. >> brian: a scheme that was brought up to admiral kirby yesterday. mark meredith joins us live from the white house. hey, mark. >> brian, ainsley and lawrence, good morning to you guys. the battle between the fbi director and house oversight committee certainly getting more bitter. we now know that the house oversight committee plans to hold the director of the fbi in contempt for refusing to turn over a document to lawmakers. the committee is seeking a confidential memo which is believed to be a source of

allegations of corruption made years ago against then vice president joe biden. the fbi says it's willing to let congressman comer see this document but only under certain conditions. the fbi telling fox, quote: director wray offered to provide the committee chairman and ranking member an opportunity to review information responsive to the subpoena in a secure manner to accommodate the committee while protecting the confidentiality and safety of sources and important investigative sensitivities. the fbi remains committed to cooperating with the committee in good faith. comer is calling that hogwash. >> he offered us the opportunity to come look at it in a private scif. he was going to redact it. my experience with getting documents from the fbi when they are redacted it's all black lines. they don't show anything. closer to the white house continues to face questions about influence peddling and allegations made against the first son hunter biden. traditionally the white house says they simply have no

comment. refer to the justice department. yesterday a reporter from the "new york post" appeared to stun the press team with his question. take a listen. jekd was involved with his son in illegal influence peddling scheme. what do you say to the majority of the americans that believe that the president is himself corrupt? >> wow,. >> can i take that question? >> the president has spoken to this. the president has spoken to this. and there's nothing to these claims. >> congressional republicans say they continue to investigate these claims though, especially as the 2024 election inches ever closer there was a piece in the no post this morning by miranda devine she says she has tracked down a witness who appeared to vanish just as he was starting to scoont with congressional

investigators. this man has gone into hiding because is he fearful of retaliation by the u.s. government for cooperating into the investigation into the president's family. but, of course, there are still so many questions about where congress will head with its investigation. lawrence, ainsley and brian? >> brian: hey, mark, what's your take on that admiral kirby reaction? >> i think, first of all, admiral kirby represents the national security component of the white house. can you imagine that he was there to answer a variety of questions whether it be about china or russia. >> he doesn't usually get asked those questions. i think he handled his the question very well. it was not his traditional wheelhouse but the white house has also traditionally refused to answer any questions about the first family. so i think that's why that reporter chose to go to kirby as opposed to trying the press secretary directly. >> brian: right. maybe that was it. thanks, mark. the other thing, keep in i understand moo, the president has already answered that no, he hasn't. the president never answers anything like that. peter doocy will shout a question at him and he will say -- make a statement that i never talk to my son about any overseas business dealings. never answered who -- one

question, do you know tony bobulinski and are you aware of his accusations? >> ainsley: yesterday, when we were talking to congressman comer, he said we read the statement from the fbi. we are talking to congress. we are in communications with him. he said that is not true. i am going to be speaking to him later today, christopher wray, but so far, no. then he said i have read -- continued to read this statement and i said they are saying that this could be either under investigation or they are worried about risking people's lives with releasing this information he said are able to redact it. they need to redact names if they have. to say i said are they -- is there an open investigation into hunter biden? he said, ainsley, how long has this been going on? he said for years if there is an open investigation why is still open after years.

>> lawrence: who does the fbi director think he is. that wasn't a request for a meeting. the request was to turn over the document. and now they are trying to have some sort of negotiation. >> ainsley: i will let you come in and read it but can't take it. >> lawrence: congress has oversight. the documents they said they could come in and read comer said on hannity last night that it was a redacted version of it not able to see the full document. can you redact the names. i would have redacted the names. we still want to see the full document as well, again, it looks like. >> ainsley: is he fearful more is redacted not just the names. >> lawrence: in his years of congress, every time he allows the fbi to do some reaction then the whole sheet is black. at the end of the day i already know what's in this document. i just want to have it as a second hand -- have the actual document from the fbi to verify that everything that i saw before is true. and it looks like the fbi director doesn't want to play ball. we should haul his tail into

congress. and i wonder if the department of justice is going to hold him accountable for this. again, once the speaker of the house signs that document to hold him in contempt, the department of justice has to enforce that. who is his boss. >> brian: form is called fd 1023. i'm wondering when that whistleblower came forward and said about this $5 million alleged scheme that joe biden directly benefited from, why did the fbi or did the fbi follow up with their own investigation in the response has been this is unverified. this is one person's point of view. okay. an fbi agent that went through an extensive background check that i imagine has a track record, did you follow up on the president of the united states? is he compromised? is he taking bribe money? are you even curious even admit they had the document until recently. now you know you have the document. and here's the thing. when you go into the scif and read it if it's heavily redacted. you say that was my one shot. i guess i got to come back with the subpoena. he says no, i want it out. it's unclassified. it should be out. i'm worried, overall at the whole whistleblower thing. when you watch those four fbi

agents from two weeks ago, see how their lives are ruined when they came forward, the irs guy, this guy, whistleblower, disappeared because he is worried about himself. then you wonder what edward snowden who i was condemning why did he go through the whistleblower process. maybe this is why. he had something to say. and he is not a bonded law enforcement official. these guys and these women, maybe the it's a woman, i don't know. are and they have to look after themselves. >> ainsley: yeah. they need protection. >> lawrence: even when you go through the proper channels. they still stonewall. this is not the way things are supposed to work in this chun tri. there has to be some sort of accountability. again, this is not just about the politics of the former president and the current president and his son. this is about if the fbi can get away with this with two powerful individuals like this. what are they doing to elder americans? >> ainsley: think about this. what if the republicans hadn't won the house? we wouldn't be investigating. this we wouldn't be investigating the origins of covid. we wouldn't be investigating the border crisis. they have -- they have had so many different hearings that we have been reporting since

january because republicans are leading in the house. >> brian: so, listen, this is pride month and different organizations, companies and sports teams are taking time to mark this moment. controversial in hockey, i saw, in particular where a couple of teams a few players said yeah, i'm not wearing any pride paraphernalia or rainbow flags because it's against my religion. whatever you think about it, players said don't get me involved in this. so now here is pride month and l.a. dodgers marketing department thought it would be a good idea to in-vitro this palace must cross dressing who mock nuns. that's their job to dress like women and prance around and do mock crucifixions. if you have seen some of the video you would really be offended. hard to imagine anybody in any religion doing. this if you imagine if they wanted to offend muslims or islam? believe me the whole world would be incensed and riots in every embassy. we know what happened last time.

so now the dodgers said okay, there is outrage about this so i'm backing out. then the angels said, okay, if you are going to gang out, i will grab this group. we made a mistake backing out. we will invite them. i have a better idea, after that we will invite christians to represent themselves at dodgers stadium. what a joke to all of it. >> ainsley: clayton kershaw was the first player to have a problem with this. now there is a second flair, blake, a reliever, dodgers reliever, and this is a said. i'm disappointed to see the sisters of perpetual indulgence being honored as heroes at dodgers stadium. many of the performances are bblasphemous. alienates the fans and supporters of the dodgers. major league baseball and professional sports, people like baseball for its entertainment value and competition. the fan does not want propaganda or politics forced on them. the debacle with bud light and target should be a warning to

companies and professional sports to stay true to their brand and leave the propaganda and politics off the field. >> brian: do you think? >> lawrence: see what happens when you force things on people like trust get it out. and if people want to put whatever banner they want on their jersey, allow them, the player, to put that on their jersey. at the end of the day, and we have seen this with the nba, we saw this with the nfl. if they wanted to return to some normalcy with their ratings they have to take the politics out. >> this is the same thing that's happening with major league baseball as well there is a few players that are standing up saying look, i'm not jiving with this. i love everyone but i don't want this on meijer'sy. it should be respected. >> brian: i don't want that on my stadium. other thing would be like for example breast breaki breast car penk wrist bands. there is nothing controversy about cancer. do you know anyone pro-cancer? everyone wants a cure. junior level marketing person who might have seen some display

walking down the street and say hey, why don't we invite them for pride month? >> lawrence: when it's cancer month they have to pay for that. so, again, look, there was one thing a financial incentive to do that and then everyone cares about breast cancer and a way to raise money for research for the organization. but we have gone way far away from that now. i just think it's insane that they are forcing all these players. >> brian: if you feel that way stay home from the dodger game and send a message. they usually sell out. >> ainsley: these companies have to look at the bottom line, too. what do their customers want. we saw that with bud light. they lost so much money. how much did they lose? >> brian: billions of dollars. no longer the number one beer seller. $10 billion. $12 billion for target. >> ainsley: doesn't pay to get into politics. hand it over to carley for headlines. >> carley: starting with the crime crisis in chicago. off duty chicago officer is recovering this morning after he was shot in the arm while sitting in his car last night.

officials say a group of up to five people approached and opened fire after the officer attempted to move garbage cans that were blocking the throughway, luckily the officer was able to drive off and transported to a hospital. so far no arrests have been made. and turning now to the crisis at our southern border. california border officials seizing more than $38 million worth of methamphetamines on saturday. finding the drugs hidden in a shipment of kale. this as virginia and west virginia and south carolina joins the growing list much states that are end ising national guard troops to enhance border security following the end of title 42. and check out this video here, two climate protesters storm the stage during the final episode of a swedish dance competition. but a camera prater saving the day using their rig to clear the floor. check this out.

fear in the last few days of her life. >> lawrence: real quickly, how are the kids holding up? >> i do not know. i have not talked to the family but, you know, my thoughts and prayers go out to them. these three boys have lost both of their parents. it's heart breaking to know what they have to go through for the rest of their life; that their father killed their mother. and, you know, all i can a citizen to do is pray for them and hopefully offer happy memories from the past of their wonderful mother who was just brilliant and beautiful and caring and just an all-around great person. >> lawrence: yeah, christie, i would not be -- i would not want to be the person to have that type of conversation with those kids but all we can do is pray for them. thank you so much for come on the program and talking about your friend. >> thank you so much. >> lawrence: have a good one. so, coming up, senator tim scott joins us next hour on why he is against the debt deal and the latest on his 2024 campaign.

first, more high school grads are skipping higher he had and getting jobs. co-host of the big money show, taylor rigazzi's is here to tell us why and there she is. ♪ working for a living ♪ living and working ♪ i'm taking what they're giving ♪ because i'm work for a living ♪ working for a living ♪ whoa, whoa ♪ taking what they're giving. there's a different way to treat hiv. it's every-other-month, injectable cabenuva. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete, long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month.

>> brian: turning away from college and toward blue collar opportunities in this labor market that presents a lot of these opportunities. over the last decade college enrollment has dropped 15% while the number of apprentices has dropped more than 50%. here to react is the co-host of "the big money show" taylor riggs. >> college is unaffordable for a lot of people. you are coming out into this really, really strong job market that we have right now and a lot of people are saying if i have apprentices are open my grow would tell you that you can make an electrician or mechanic or plumber at really good six-figure paying jobs. that sort of offsets the need, at least right now, to go to college and obtain a degree. the cost of college is also still unaffordable for so many. that's actually the root cause of the problem that we think we need to address maybe in another

conversation. so, until that comes down, when you are in a really strong working environment and a strong labor market, it really sort of makes sense. >> brian: i mean, for the longest time i heard we want you, we want the next generation to go to college. we want the next generation to get a graduate degree now we seem to be readjusting. mike rowe knew about this. he has offered scholarship for this. he talked about the dignity of getting into the trades. of watch. >> there is dignity in doing what you say you are going to do. there is dignity in showing up early and staying late and volunteering for the crappy job. there is dignity in delayed graphics. >> brian: and enough said. i was tired of hearing mike rowe i'm glad we cut it off mid sentence. but what is he trying to say a lot of time parents. parents don't want to tell their 12th grader graduating high school we want to be able to tell people they are not being plumbers or construction people. but these are great jobs. >> and mike rowe is so spot on

when he says instead of using that of what you can do if you can't go to college. let's build that up and make that as instead of or even better than because you graduate with no debt and there's really as he says dignity in work. dignity in hard work. >> brian: in terms of opportunities, what opportunities are out there in the trades right now. >> well, if we're all going easy evin the future we need electricians and mechanics and plumbers. >> brian: plumbers about 10 million open jobs right now. >> yeah. >> brian: i thought this was interesting too. you brought this up. the state of virginia, 90% of the jobs, are state jobs are not going to require a college degree. how different is that? >> what i like about this is, as you mentioned, we got the numbers yesterday, there are 10 million job openings in this country. we are going to get job data tomorrow. we could be adding another 190,000 jobs. we have a labor worker shortage in this country. if dropping that requirement helps bring back people into the labor force, and helps increase

the labor supply which will bring down wages and bring down inflation, that, in theory is, a good thing. i like if you don't need that degree for this job, let's cut that requirement and open up the work pool and have a lot more people apply and be able to come back into the workforce. there is dignity in work. >> brian: here is what the governor said why he decided to do this and made sure a college degree would not be necessary. this landmark change in hiring practices for a state workforce will improve hiring processes, expand possibilities and career path for job seekers and enhance our ability to deliver quality services. glenn youngkin has the highest degree of education, international businessman, also sees the need for blue collar workers. >> i love that. and, again, university, which we have all benefited from, has been wonderful if you have a plan and you know that there's a job on the other side of that degree. and you sort of have an idea of what you want to do and a clear job path. if you don't have that and you feel lost sort of going in and you are lost coming out of college, that's, i think, when going back to a trade school or

looking at what virginia is doing is a really good idea to help sort of center you and get you focused that you are not wasting that money. but there still is at love benefits and some degrees, you need to have a plan coming out. >> brian: yesterday, when i saw you, you knew your lead was going to be china. you know your lead on the big show. >> still early and the market haven't opened yet. maybe looking at big debt ceiling. markets are a little bit happy that we have come out at least from the house side of that. >> brian: three of you have will be there just different outgets. >> yes. >> brian: great seeing you again. >> thank you. >> brian: the debt ceiling deal heads to the senate. one of the biggest opponents is senator mike lee. he joins us at the top of the hour as we slowly zoom out ♪ ♪ ♪ developing treatments to help unlock humanity's full potential. these are the greats: people living with, thriving with — not held back by — disease.
