Summary
First, they consider the pros and cons of the four figures reported to be under serious consideration to be Donald Trump's running mate. What benefits do North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, and Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance potentially bring to the ticket and what are their liabilities?
Next, they size up the April jobs report - which showed positive job growth but not as much as expected. Plus, they highlight the massive number of Americans who have stopped looking for work and dropped out of the labor force.
Finally, they discuss President Biden's election year ploy to add DACA recipients (people who were brought to the U.S. illegally by their parents) to Obamacare. And guess who gets to pay for those health care bills?

| 0:28.6 | God this this week has been a long year. I guess you could say Nome is measuring it in dog years. |
| 0:34.8 | Well speaking of Christy Nome, she had been thought to be among the names being considered by Donald Trump to be his running |
| 0:46.8 | mate this time around. |
| 0:48.8 | That doesn't appear to be the case anymore, which I would suggest is probably the right call. |
| 0:54.0 | Also not on the list, no one's surprise, Mike Pence, who was Trump's |
