Summary

All the talk about Jeffrey Epstein seems to be getting to President Trump, who behaved in a disgusting way towards a female reporter on Air Force One. Perhaps he was cheered up today by welcoming Saudi Arabia’s leader to the White House and giving an hour-long speech at a McDonald’s convention. Emmy-winning actor and activist Ted Danson stars opposite his real-life wife Mary Steenburgen in a show that pokes fun at some of the inescapable indignities of growing older. Catch the Season Two premiere of “A Man on the Inside” this Thursday on Netflix.

1:10.1	I wonder who that was.
1:11.1	Who was?
1:11.8	I don't know.
1:13.8	Of course, the vote doesn't mean the Epstein files will be released right away.
1:17.1	The bill now has to go to the Senate, where it may be amended, and if it's passed there,
1:22.0	and amended, it would have to go back to the House, where it has to cross over a river
