I really, really wanted to talk to you about the fact Mike Johnson is now reopening the House,

which means guess what's back on the docket, the Epstein files.

So what will happen theoretically is that the House will vote to subpoena the Epstein file, or files.

Theoretically, it is everything that exists within the United States government on Jeffrey Epstein.

So much to discuss. Last time I saw you, the Democrats were riding high off their victory from the election. And now what's happening? And they were also winning the shutdown. Hands down, this was their shutdown, which doesn't usually happen that the opposition party can claim victory on this.

But given that it is Trump, who can be counted on to so often shoot himself in the foot

again and again, because fundamentally he is self-destructive.

So when he's taking food, snatching food from babies, when he's not

snatching babies themselves, to refusing to find money to pay the air controllers to again and again

and again, essentially being willing and enjoying

it to ups, to disrupt major parts of American life. This is what he would do. I am going to do that.

So there he was remote, disengaged, having parties, uncaring, and, you know, a complete

shit. So that's what we went into. And suddenly, yesterday, the Democrats are like, okay, we give up.

It was incomprehensible to me, too.

And also, it's very unusual to see the Democrats turn on each other.

I mean, you had Gavin Newsom saying this is unconditional surrender at the other side of the

country.

Newsom's in California, New York.

Richie Torres is saying this is ridiculous.

How do we make sense of this?
