What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's seven Eastern, four Pacific, and this is Weekend Edition.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorPresident Trump and the first lady voted early in West Palm Beach today, and the president sounded hoarse, blaming an intense campaign schedule.

  3. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThis is the man who has opposed early voting, and he voted by mail in a March special election in Palm Beach County.

  4. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNobody mentioned the fees, and apparently nobody mentioned the rules either.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHe said earlier this week he prefers Election Day, and he did not answer when asked what he'd do that day.

  6. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMore than twenty-six million Americans have already voted, according to NBC News.

  7. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe Justice Department has charged two former FBI officials, Nicole Floris and Bradley Benavides, with lying to Congress about the Hunter Biden investigations.

  8. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorEach faces one count of making false statements, and both surrendered Friday.

  9. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorProsecutors say Benavides told House investigators he first learned of the laptop from Wikipedia.

  10. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorProsecutors allege that, Dale. They allege it in a federal complaint. It is not a punchline yet.

  11. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWrestling legend Ric Flair posted a selfie in an eye patch after a night at a Tampa hospital, and thanked the staff for putting up with him until four-thirty in the morning.

  12. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHis daughter Charlotte joked he blamed Warrior.

  13. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorAnd Cincinnati upset eighth-ranked Texas Tech, thirty-four to twenty-seven. The stadium played All My Exes Live In Texas. Subtle as a folding chair.

  14. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorRex, it's yours. I'll be here. I'm always here.
