  • It was early this week when Congressman Hank Johnson,

  • Democrat from Georgia's 4th, dropped a parody version of Dreamsicle by Jason Isbell.

  • Awful.

  • The Congressman was adding his voice to an ever-growing chorus.

  • Just a day before him, a rapper named Tyson James dropped a bop called Epstein List.

  • And last night, not only the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, followed suit, but not with bars.

  • I mean, the White House and the White House team are privy to facts that I don't know.

  • I mean, this isn't my lane.

  • I haven't been involved in that.

  • But I agree with the sentiment that we need to put it out there.

  • Why everyone, except maybe the president himself, hmm,

  • seems to agree that we should see the Epstein files on Today Explained.

  • Support for the program today comes from BetterHelp.

  • Work can be stressful, no way.

  • BetterHelp says therapy can help you navigate whatever challenges the workday might bring.

  • I was just talking to a colleague about needing better help from some work-related stuff today.

  • That's true, that's just true, but it was a joke.
