In this weekend's episode, three segments from this past week's Washington Journal.

First: as Congress ends the longest government shutdown in history – a conversation with Real Clear Politics President Tom Bevan on the winners and losers – if it'll matter in the midterm elections.

Then – the other big political story this week on Capitol Hill: renewed efforts to release the Epstein files -- with a vote scheduled next week. That conversation with former federal prosecutor and Politico Magazine writer Ankush Khardori.

Finally – as America celebrated our veterans earlier this week – we chat with Paul Rieckhoff – founder and CEO of the group Independent Veterans of America.
