What the hosts said

BFox News is reporting on X that President Trump ordered the Justice Department to investigate Democrats.
BThe stated reason: alleged threats against officials in his administration.
BThat's the claim. And it's not confirmed.
BRight. No DOJ statement, no White House readout yet.
BBut if true, this is big.
BIf there were real threats, investigating them is exactly what the department is for.
BInvestigating threats, yes. Ordering an investigation of the other party? That's a campaign ad.
BOh, come on. Threaten a Cabinet secretary, you don't get a pass because you're a Democrat.
BNobody says that. But the post doesn't name one threat. Just "alleged threats"— plural, vague.
BSo you'd rather the department ignore it?
BI'd rather a prosecutor open a file quietly. Not the president using DOJ as a cudgel.
BIf threats are real, the public has a right to know.
BThe public has a right to facts, not unconfirmed orders leaked to a friendly network.
BYou're more offended by the announcement than the alleged crime.
BBecause the announcement is the part being reported right now. And it looks like retaliation.
BIt looks like a president who wants to remind everyone he still runs the executive branch.
BThat's worse.
BIt's politics. Ugly, but not automatically an abuse of power.
BOrdering an investigation into political opponents is a classic abuse of power.
BNot if there's evidence.
BWhat evidence? We haven't seen a single name.
BWait, you keep saying it looks like retaliation like it's settled. Our notes say the order itself isn't confirmed.
BFair. Then the retaliation part is a guess.
BSo your argument is against a report we both just said isn't confirmed?
BMy argument is against the move if it's real. And it should worry you too.
BHere's my line: if there are threats, investigate whoever made them. If there aren't, this is a disgrace.
BI'll take that. But I'm more worried about DOJ as a personal revenge tool.
BAnd I'm more worried about people threatening officials and getting a pass.
BGreat, we've both found something to worry about.
BThat's the show.
BSpeaking of the House, Al Jazeera English posted on X a profile of the man they say is expected to become speaker.
BHakeem Jeffries. Brooklyn guy, disciplined. If the numbers hold, he's second in line to the presidency.
BHe's spent years in Democratic leadership. Now he moves from the back room to the floor.
BHe'll have to hold a big, noisy caucus together.
BAnd he'll do it while the White House is reportedly investigating his party. Some honeymoon.
BIf he becomes speaker, first test: keep the left and the old guard from tearing each other apart.
BFirst he has to actually get the gavel. Let's see if the count is official.
BIf it is, Washington's next round just got a lot more interesting.
BDifferent world entirely: a gunman opened fire from a car in Krakow's Main Market Square.
BReuters confirms at least six dead, fifteen wounded. Police shot and arrested the suspect.
BIt happened in one of the most crowded tourist areas in Poland. Video shows people running for cover.
BRandom attacks like that shut down a city center in broad daylight. Motive still unclear.
BWe'll bring you more as officials release it.
