As we recorded this episode, the Senate agreed to unanimous consent, sending the House passed legislation to release all of the Epstein files to President Trump’s desk for signature. Trump has already said he will sign the bill into law, as we saw Epstein victims rally on Capitol Hill today to urge lawmakers for full transparency. Amy and T.J. discuss the one lawmaker who voted against the bill - a congressman from Louisiana - and the Harvard professor who has expressed being “ashamed” at his level of friendship with Epstein in the latest round of emails released to the public.

| 1:00.7 | And all of a sudden, we see all the Republicans changing their tunes because it did take a few rogue, brave Republicans to break rank and vote with the Democrats for them to realize, |
| 1:13.3 | hey, we might lose this thing. And so, look, the president, if nothing else, is a realist. |
| 1:18.2 | He saw the numbers. He saw where things were headed. And he decided to be on the winning side of things. |
