[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Let's get the first thing out the way, off the top. Who, sitting right here, right now, is in the Epstein files? Senator.
[00:00:11] Speaker 2: Senator. You're a senator right here. What are you talking about? Only in newspaper articles, please. Yes. Who else?

You're going to ambush me in act one with a comedian friend of mine. Who's in the Epstein files? I'm like, hey, how do you think I feel? Senator, you know what you signed up for.
