0:00.0	It is a huge, I mean, enormous news night. The House just passed the bill, of course, to reopen the government, ending the shutdown, which is, of course, a big story tonight.
0:09.6	We also have a huge developing story that I think is shaping up to be the greatest political scandal of our lifetime.
0:18.0	It very well could be, all stemming from Donald Trump's relationship with
0:21.5	notorious child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein. And we have an enormous lineup of guests on this topic
0:27.3	tonight, people who are right in the center of this. Congressman Robert Garcia, the ranking

1:29.0	to stop more information from coming out. It is quite telling. First of all, let's remember
1:34.8	this is the same president who regularly admits he knows nothing about whatever issue is embroiling
1:41.2	his administration at any given time. And this is the same president who spent
