out the second largest failed bank in u.s. history we re going to have the latest on this developing financial crisis. tell you what, it was a crazy weekend. yesterday, the white house working along with people across the financial industry, doing everything they could to stop a meltdown. yeah. and it looked in the early afternoon like that meltdown was coming they understood that china s markets were going to be opening at 8:00, 9:00 at night, and they had to get things lined up before then so the asian markets didn t collapse, which would cause u.s. markets to collapse this morning it was touch and go, as you know. yeah. because we were on a lot of calls yesterday afternoon. it was touch and go for quite some time. it looks like, for now, they ve stemmed the bleeding but this, for a while, was looking like it could spread much like 2008. absolutely. meanwhile, mike pence finds the courage to speak out on donald trump, but only behind closed doors and off camer
spokesman john kirby with an uptate on the number of american hostages still being held by hamas following the release of a 4-year-old girl. the humanitarian pause in gaza remains in effect this morning. we ll have the latest on when more hostages could be freed. also ahead, an update on the college students of palestinian descent who were shot in burlington, vermont. we ll hear from the mother of one of the victims. plus, as if a rematch of 2020 wasn t bad enough, donald trump is bringing back a top issue from his 2016 campaign. it s a pledge on which he never delivered. we ll explain what that is. i mean, it s unpopular, too. why would we deliver on that? he is once again going to promise something that s extremely unpopular with people. we re talking about, you know, the wall street journal lead, talking about israel and hamas extend the truce two days. the new york times lead the same, talking about how israel and hamas agreed to extend pause and swap. mika,
full-blown charge d in the stat case. i m not sure what his counsel would be up to. there are very different indictment, even though it s the same set of facts. and in many ways, the georgia indictment is the case that jack smith would have brought. he might still bring it, if he had more time. because it names all these people. as joey was pointing out, that can make it more complicated because there are legitimate reasons you couldn t get the scheduling together with this many defendants and maybe that was part of why the federal strategy was to streamline it more only charging trump. but as to meadows, it s puzzling to me that he s missing from one but fully present in the other. it is interesting. for both of you, if we have the time, this case is unique, as has been pointed out. unique because it is basically because it s pardon proof. given how unprecedented though
this could be, a state case moving ahead after an election is decided for a federal election for the president being decided, adding how unprecedented it is, even though we know that it s pardon proof in georgia, is there any gray area here? there could be. so think about this. i think it goes back to the point of there s a lot at stake everywhere in terms of the various indictments, but this is so much at stake for the reason you mentioned. you talk about the issue of pardons. the federal cases, it s around open question as to whether the president will pardon himself. but i m sure he will attempt to do that. many people not so high on that case thinking it s not that significant. this georgia case is the real deal. it lays out chapter and verse.
