The Speaker, the Attorney General, the FBI Director, the President, and the Vice President

could have saved us all this time and an embarrassment, frankly, for our own party if they'd

just done the right thing four months ago.

That's not what's been happening, though, but that was Republican Congressman Thomas

Massey last night, once again calling out the Trump administration over the

release of the Epstein files. It comes as the House is finally expected to vote overwhelmingly

in favor of releasing these documents. The question is, how will the Senate respond? Meanwhile,

the president is pitching affordability amid rising prices on many everyday items for Americans. The

question is, can he stick to a message that resonates with voters?

Also ahead, we'll dig into the Trump administration's escalating tactics toward Venezuela's government.

The question is, is the president considering military action in that country?

It's way too early for this.

Thank you. way too early for this. Good morning and welcome to way too early, the show that always appreciates a good costume.

We're going to get into that story in just a bit.

I'm Allie Vitale on this Tuesday, November 18th, and we'll start with the news here in

Washington, because this afternoon the House plans to vote on a resolution that would compel

the Justice Department to release all of its records related to the late convicted sex offender,

Jeffrey Epstein. The measure, which requires approval from two-thirds of the chamber because of how

they're voting on it, is expected to pass with overwhelming, if not unanimous support. Top Republicans say they expect everyone will vote for it. After President Trump's sudden reversal on the issue gave any remaining holdouts the go ahead. And frankly, according to my reporting, it's not like they needed much of a thumbs up. They were going to do it anyway. If the bill does pass the House as expected, it will head to the Senate. And if it passes there, the president now says he'll actually sign it into law.

So I'm for any, I don't, they can do whatever they want.

We'll give them everything. Sure, I would. Let the Senate look at it. Let anybody look at it.

But don't talk about it too much because, honestly, I don't want to take it away from us.
