It's Monday, November 17th.

On today's show, why the American Pope is criticizing the American president.
Silicon Valley's pitch for genetically engineered babies.
And as we head into awards season, are judges actually watching the movies?
But first, to a weekend of unexpected reversals.
Late on Sunday evening,
President Trump posted on social media that House Republicans should support a vote to release more files on Jeffrey Epstein.
He said, quote, because we have nothing to hide.
This is the first time he's shown a willingness to support the measure,
one that he would ultimately have to sign.
It's an indication that in the House at least,
momentum was growing from within his own party to back it.
The issue has driven a wedge into the GOP,
with Trump clashing with some members of his party,
most notably Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene.
She's long been one of Trump's most loyal and outspoken backers,
but her support for a vote to release the files appeared to strain their relationship to a breaking point over the weekend.
