Shane Gillis Crushes At ESPYs But The Humor Is Lost On The Woke Crowd (ft. Congressman Richard Hudson & Kurt Schlichter)

On the Friday sports edition of 'Will Cain Country,' Will and The Crew dive into the viral Coldplay “cheating scandal” and debate the morality of public shaming over private failings as the video that everyone is talking about continues to spread. They then break down the major Barstool–Fox Sports media deal and what it says about the industry’s shift back toward corporate platforms. Are "pirate ships" less appealing than initially believed? Also, what rules would you change in sports to make them more appealing or exciting? Will and The Crew suggest rule changes, like shifting soccer’s offside rules or reducing replay, to make sports more fun and fast-paced.  And finally, with the cancellation of 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,' is this the beginning of the death of traditional late-night comedy in an era of podcasts, social media, and ideological fatigue?

As Will heads to Kerrville, TX, for an exclusive interview with President Donald Trump from the devastated flood zones, he wanted to go into the vault and share his last exclusive interview with the President. In his first interview after the historical New York verdict, then former President Donald Trump joined Will and his fellow Fox & Friends Weekend alumni Pete Hegseth and Rachel Campos-Duffy for a sweeping conversation during the 2024 election season. President Trump denounced the case as politically motivated, claimed the trial had energized his base, and drew comparisons to authoritarian regimes. He laid out a second-term vision centered on mass deportations, dismantling elements of the federal bureaucracy, and pursuing accountability for what he called a weaponized justice system. On foreign policy, President Trump criticized then-President Joe Biden’s handling of Ukraine, vowed to declassify major files, and said his diplomacy had previously held global adversaries in check. The President also spoke about the toll on his family, his resolve to return to office, and his belief that the 2024 election was a battle to save the country from within.
