What the hosts said

BNews Tonight, Saturday six o'clock. Let's get to it.
BFox is reporting that Trump was asked about pardoning junior officials to shield them from future investigations.
BI saw that Fox clip. His answer was basically 'I have the authority'.
BRight, but here's the catch. That specific question wasn't confirmed by any other outlet.
BFox has it. You think they got it wrong?
BI just can't independently verify that's what he said. The confirmed part is about Hunter Biden.
BWhere he said he wouldn't do anything overt and hinted Joe might do it.
BExactly. So we'll wait for more before running with the staff pardon angle.
BFair. But the Melania moment was all over the briefing.
BHe turned to her and said, 'Now she got a ceasefire.'
BThe Ukraine ceasefire, focused on children and the elderly. He's giving her real credit.
BAnd she said something brief in response. The whole room was waiting for it.
BUnusual dynamic, the first lady as a diplomatic figure. Not complaining, just noting.
BDifferent world entirely: Gaza.
BAl Jazeera reports bakeries are running out of flour while families queue for bread.
BAnd the Euro-Med monitor says famine is a real risk. Not a metaphor.
BAid agencies say they can't even provide basics because they don't have the funds.
BThis is the kind of story that gets worse the longer it's quiet.
BWe'll stay on it. Coming up, Obama's first midterm rally, and he's going after Trump and Ramaswamy.
