A Deep Dive Into Trump’s History With Epstein Pt. 3 | The Daily Show

to lower drug prices for America. That’s the news for the day, and I’m sure no one is gonna
talk about anything else. – Brand new bombshell reporting from the Wall Street Journal. – [Reporter] The Wall
Street Journal reporting, The US Attorney General Pam Bondi told President Trump back in May that his name appears multiple
times in the Epstein files. – [Audience Member] No. – You’re best friends, (audience laughing) you’re best friends with a
pedophile for 10 years one time and the world never forgets it. (audience laughing) But yeah, this whole time, Trump already knew he
was in the Epstein files, which is a good reminder that
if someone’s acting guilty, they’re probably guilty. No one’s ever gonna be like, “Don’t look at my browser history, “you’ll see all the
charities I volunteer for.” (audience laughing) But the good news for
Trump is, this is America, we don’t read. (audience laughing) As long as there’s no video coming out, he should be A-okay. – CNN exclusive, newly
uncovered photos and video offers a new look at
President Trump’s past ties to Jeffrey Epstein. – [Reporter] Here you see
the two at the opening of the Harley Davidson Cafe. Months later, some new
photos reveal Epstein walking into the Plaza Hotel to attend Donald Trump’s
wedding to Marla Maples. There’s also what was found in this review of archival footage from a 1999 Victoria Secret Fashion Show,
which reveals, as you see, the two men chatting,
laughing with one another on the sidelines of that event. (audience laughing) – It’s getting to the
point where it’s harder and harder to find a photo of Donald Trump without Jeffrey Epstein. (audience laughing) As Donald Trump, your
only hope is to be like, “Hey, I take pictures with
lots of people. All right? “I’m in pictures with OJ, “Diddy. (audience laughing)
(audience applauding) “I’m in pictures with Harvey Weinstein. (audience laughing) “That’s not helping, I’m gonna stop.” (audience laughing) And they’re not just in the video, look at the chemistry they have, and this is genuinely
unfortunate and unfair to Trump. But the way the camera
highlighted, the two of them makes it look like a
giant heart on a kiss cam. (audience laughing)
(audience applauding) What makes me feel terrible is, I don’t have a friend
that I’m as close with as Trump was to Epstein, you know. They’re making drawings
for each other, laughing, showing up to weddings,
going to shows together. The only way my friends hang out with me that much is if we’re both
holding Xbox controllers. (audience laughing) The point is, CNN found
all this new footage and Trump didn’t really appreciate it. – You actually called
President Trump directly to ask him about this story? – Yeah, we weren’t on the phone very long, it only lasted about 30 seconds. But when I got him on the phone, I asked him about the wedding photos, he kind of paused and then said, “You’ve gotta be kidding me.” He then called CNN and
me fake news a few times, and then he hung up the phone. – Wait, hold on, hold on, hold on. You can just call Donald Trump (audience laughing) and he’ll just pick up the phone himself? (audience laughing) A president shouldn’t be
that available, you know. This is like pushing the call button for the flight attendant and
then the pilot comes out like. (audience laughing) It’s like, aren’t you supposed to be busy? (audience laughing) If you’re here, then who’s in the cockpit? (audience laughing) I think this just shows
how lonely Trump is. He’s answering the phone because he just wants someone to talk to. It’s kind of sad. Because remember, his
best friend died in prison back in 2019. (audience laughing)
(audience cheering) (upbeat music) Jeffrey Epstein died back in 2019, but not since Tupac Shakur as a dead man, dropped so many bangers, all right. (audience laughing) Yesterday, video of the
government questioning him back in 2010, started making the rounds and you’ll never guess whose name came up. Go ahead. Guess. (audience laughing) – [Interviewer] Have you ever
socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18? – Though I’d like to answer
that question, at least today, I’m going to have to assert my fifth, sixth, and 14th amendment right, sir. – I’m gonna put that down. – [Audience] Boo. – I’m gonna put that down as a yes. (audience laughing) I’ll be honest, I’ve never
heard anybody plead anything other than the fifth before. (audience laughing) But this guy’s so guilty, he’s calling out every
amendment he can think of, (audience laughing) like, “No, no, no, what’s the
one with the Women Voting? “19? Throw that in too.” (audience laughing) Now, this video is
dropping less than a day since we found out Pam Bondi, reportedly warned Trump back in May that his name was in the
files, multiple times. And it just so happens her
next appearance was scheduled last night at a summit
against human trafficking. Pam, show us what you got. – I do have a note from
the Attorney General, from Attorney General, Pam
Bondi that I wanted to share. “I’m sorry to miss all
of my CPAC friends today. “Unfortunately, I’m recovering
from a recently torn cornea, “which is preventing me
from being with you.” – Damn! (audience laughing) Even Pam Bondi’s cornea is like, “Release the Epstein files, or I quit.” (audience laughing) I don’t even understand this. Like why does her cornea
mean she can’t talk? (audience laughing) Like I don’t know a lot
about women’s bodies, and this is embarrassing to ask, but is the cornea in the throat? (audience laughing) Like the only member of
the Trump administration that I would believe has an eye injury, is FBI Director Kash Patel. (audience laughing)
(audience applauding) I can’t tell if that man is
blind or can see the future. (audience laughing) He always looks like he just
saw the Epstein files, like. (audience laughing) (upbeat music) Trump has lost total
control of the situation, even his allies in Congress
are turning on him. – [Reporter] In an effort to gain clarity, three Republicans joined Democrats on the House Oversight Committee to subpoena the Justice Department to give Congress all of the Epstein files. – This fight’s coming no matter… I mean, this is here, you know,
I’m ready to take this vote. I think we should take this vote and move forward, move
this country forward, and people deserve transparency. – Nancy Mace, damn! (audience laughing) Trump is even losing the White women. (audience laughing) Which is great because it means we’re getting the White women and we’re getting those files, all right? This feels like when you’re at the airport and Southwest has
delayed you for 23 hours, you’re standing in line
at customer service and there’s a White woman
in line in front of you bubbling harder than Prosecco. (audience laughing) She’s even doing the like, (mouth popping) (audience laughing) (mouth popping) (audience laughing) And then she turns to you and says, “I’m gonna say something.” And you’re like, “Yes. Yes. “Yes, White lady. “Go up there and get that manager “for all of us.” (audience applauding)
(audience cheering) Alright? And it’s not just Nancy Mace. This is an issue across the
entire Karen American community. (audience laughing) Marjorie Taylor Green wants the files. Lauren Boebert wants a special counsel. She’s like, “I came to
Washington to expose pedophiles “and jack people off. (audience laughing) “And I’m fresh outta people to jerk off.” (audience laughing) (audience applauding) Now, it may be surprising that some of the most diehard congressmen are going against Trump on this, but you have to remember that they ultimately
just wanna be reelected, and right now their voters
are absolutely losing it over this Epstein thing. – How much are your constituents clamoring for more information
about Epstein right now? – It’s the number one phone
call that we get by far. It’s probably 500 to one. – 500 to one?
– Yeah. It’s number one phone calls that we get. – I’m sorry, 500 to one? (audience laughing) I wanna know about the Epstein
files, but that is wild. That means people are calling in 500 times about Jeffrey Epstein,
for every one caller who’s just like, “Hey,
my tap water poison.” (audience laughing) And I could understand it, if everything else in
your state is going fine, but this congressman’s
from Missouri, okay, they have real problems, but they’re using all
their Boost mobile minutes on this thing. (audience laughing) I’ll talk to my kids next month, this Epstein thing is too important. (audience laughing) And worst of all for Trump, is not just his allies in Congress or conservative Americans, he’s pissed off his most
important base of support, crazy ass lunatics. (audience laughing) – [Reporter] Jacob
Chansley, the QAnon Shaman, who became famous for his horned outfit during the January 6th, Capitol Riot is lashing out at the man
who gave him a pardon. Chansley called the President a fraud. – [Audience] Oh. (audience cheering)
(audience applauding) – Like, wow, do you know
how down bad you are when the guys who went to prison for you are turning on you? Like, I need to stress this real quick, he went to jail for Trump. This would be like if Nelson
Mandela came outta prison, like, “You know what, (audience laughing) “I’m done with Black people.” (audience laughing) These guys believe in everything, but you, take a look. – [Reporter] He also
suggested that the president had defiled a corpse,
billionaire Elon Musk wasn’t spared either with Chansley describing
the world’s richest man as a baby eater. (audience laughing) – This is so so bad. That’s the thing about QAnon, like if Kendrick Lamar
wanted to ruin your life, at least he’d do a bunch of
research on you and your family. QAnon just comes out and
says, “You’re eating spines.” (audience laughing) And there’s no way for you to
prove you don’t eat spines. In fact, every time you’ve got something between your teeth, they’re like, “See? See? “He flossing babies.” (audience laughing) (upbeat music) – As you know, this young
man has been embroiled in the Jeffrey Epstein
sex trafficking scandal, and did what anybody who is innocent (audience laughing) when facing an accusation of this type did what anybody who
was innocent would do. He fled the country. (audience laughing) He fled the country, taking a jaunt to bunny old Scotland, (audience laughing) that’s probably not the right accent. (audience laughing) To leave his troubles in
the United States behind and finally gain an ocean’s distance between himself and the Epstein scandal and focus on his new
trade deal with the EU. I’m sorry, yes, you there, from
the Inverness Castle times. – [Interviewer] Mr. President
was it part of the rush to get this deal done to not Jeffrey Epstein’s story out? – Oh, you gotta be kidding with that. (audience laughing) (audience applauding)
(audience cheering) (audience laughing) – Donald Trump, he’s all like, “How did you even hear about? (audience laughing) “I thought you guys just got “Baywatch” “like three months ago?” (audience laughing) Doesn’t anybody here have a
question about this trade deal sinking both of our
economies with tariffs? How high do I have to make the tariffs before you guys shut the
(beep) up about Epstein? (audience laughing) But of course, how do you
expect the media to move on when even Trump has trouble doing so? And so it was, on the day
of striking a trade deal with the EU, Donald Trump
presented, once more this time for the
Edinburgh Fringe Festival, his classic Epstein defense, 13 reasons why I’m not
involved with a pedophile. (audience laughing) – Those files were run by the worst scum on earth. If they had something
they would’ve released, now they can easily put
something in the files that’s a phony. – Which is why I can’t release it. It’s simple. If I Donald Trump was in the files, they would’ve released it. So clearly I’m not in the files, but of course, I’m clearly in the files. (audience laughing) which makes them phony. (audience laughing) I mean, what do they even have on Trump? A creepy drawing Trump
gave to Epstein? Please. – I don’t do drawings. I’m not a drawing person, (audience laughing) – Your Honor, I submit to the court if there’s one thing I would never do, it is, draw. (audience laughing) As you know, I suffer from tiny hands. (audience laughing) I cannot physically even
perform the task of drawing. (audience laughing) I do not possess the motor skills and muscle strength required, oh. (audience laughing) I cannot draw. Not now, (audience chuckling) not ever. (audience laughing) Although. – Sometimes people say,
would you draw a building and I’ll draw four
lines and a little roof, you know, for a charity stuff, but I’m not a drawing person. I don’t do drawings of women that I can tell you. – I mean, sometimes people would say, “Would you draw a woman? “I draw a parentheses for breast “and a triangle for bush, for charity. (audience laughing) “For charity. (audience laughing) “I wouldn’t call them drawings,
more of a cubist pastiche “of punctuation and geometric
shapes to trick the eye. (audience laughing) “Some would see a naked woman, of course, “others would see an old woman “holding a falcon, riding a hoverboard (audience laughing) “with a triangle for a vagina. “Look the point is this. (audience laughing) “I don’t draw.” In Trump’s defense, he did end
his relationship with Epstein in the arts. Perhaps a look into why he
ended it will exonerate Trump. – That’s such old history, very easy to explain, but I don’t wanna waste
your time by explaining it. He did something that was inappropriate. – What he said was, Epstein had done something inappropriate, and that’s why they’re no longer friends. You see, Donald Trump recognized that Epstein had finally crossed a line. Now, if it were me obviously
giving this explanation in front of reporters, I
probably would’ve stopped there. (audience laughing) But, since I am not, and I had Trump went on to describe Epstein’s inappropriate behavior and wait till you hear, what was the Rubicon that Epstein crossed. – He hired help. And I said, “Don’t ever do that again.” He stole people that work for me. I said, “Don’t ever do that again.” He did it again, and I
threw him out of the place, persona non grata. – Yes! (audience laughing) You all know him as Jeffrey
Epstein, the sex trafficker, (audience laughing) but I knew his dark side. (audience laughing) He was, (audience applauding) I mean, the sex trafficking,
I was like, okay. (audience laughing) But he was also a low
level employee poacher, (audience laughing) and that I cannot have. (audience laughing) Anyway, Mr. President, do
you wanna slice this bologna any thinner? – By the way, I never went to the island, and Bill Clinton went there supposedly, 28 times. (audience laughing) – You expect me to
believe that Bill Clinton went to the island only 28 times? (audience laughing) No way! (audience applauding)
(audience cheering) I mean, if anybody had
VIP Diamond Island status, (audience laughing) there’s probably still
parrots alive on that island going, “Hey, bill, back again. Hey, bill. (audience laughing) “Hey, bill. “How you doing, bill? “What’s up, bill?” (audience laughing) But here goes. (all laughing) Yeah, that’s okay, it’s okay, I’m okay. (audience applauding) That is truly the best parrot
impression you’ll hear. (audience laughing) Here comes my favorite
part of the defense. Trump’s ego and narcissism
are so central to his being that even his denial
of going to the island comes with a caveat. – I never had the privilege
of going to his island. – [Audience] Oh. – And I did turn it down. – The privilege? (audience laughing) The (beep). (audience laughing) Hey, Donald, wanna go to
the island this weekend? Well, first of all, Jeffrey, (audience laughing) thank you for thinking of me. (audience laughing) Unfortunately, that’s the weekend that the teen pageant that I bought (audience gasps) is installing the indoor
security locker room couch. (audience gasps) (upbeat music) Obviously for the Epstein case, Trump has no shortage of caddies willing to shame themselves. Here’s Congressman Tim Burchett, pre-Trump being named in the files. – Congressman, why do you think so many Democrats are committed to protecting the list
of a dead pedophile? – Too many of my colleagues,
I’m afraid, are compromised in this area for whatever reason, the trash can is very deep. It’s not a swamp, it’s an open sewer. – It’s a sewer. Democrats are all over the
plane logs, it’s an open sewer. I’m sorry, Trump was
also on Epstein’s plane. Need a ball drop over here? – You know, President Trump admitted that he flew on his dadgums plane. Just because somebody flew on a plane doesn’t mean they’re a dadgum pedophile. – Wow. You know what? I always find that the worst it is, the foxier they get. (audience laughing) Well, Mr. Trump, he
not a dadgum, gosh darn (audience laughing) dag nabbed pedophile, I mean, (audience laughing) kiss my grits I don’t. (audience laughing) I’ll guarantee you, he’s
not using that terminology in other sex offender cases. Well, gosh, darn, if Diddy ain’t two biscuits short of a country biscuit. (audience laughing) He’s two biscuits short
of a country breakfast. But that don’t make
everyone at the freak off crackle barrelless. (audience laughing) I honestly think my
favorite thing about this is watching conspiracy theorists have to unravel the red string that they themselves
originally strung out. Here’s the OG conspiracy
theorist, Glenn Beck, at his excitement for Trump’s
beginning of the second term. – The only thing I about is the scandal of the pedophiles. And in the next 10 days, you’re gonna see the
Epstein file released. Day number one, Kash Patel walks in, by the end of the day,
it will be released. – Day one. (audience laughing) deep state exposed. Oh, I’m sorry, Trump’s in the rough? I’ll get right on that ball drop. – What the left is saying, and some people now on his team are saying he’s in the report with 15 year olds. Really? You actually believe that? – [Audience Member] Yes. (audience laughing) – I have seen some clips
that would be consistent with (audience laughing) did buy a teenage beauty pageant. But listen, Beck, you’re the
master at making connections, so let’s see you unconnected. – I mean, let’s be honest, 20 years ago, if this was like, Hey, he was on an island with 25-year-old models, I would be going, probably, okay. 15, 16 year olds, that’s not Donald Trump. It’s not Donald Trump. I don’t believe that. Do you? – [Audience] Yes. – I say, no way that’s true. (audience laughing) – You can’t, what no! You’re not, there’s no magic x. (audience laughing) It’s just you can’t
just magic x conspiracy. White people being replaced
by voting illegal immigrants. No! (audience laughing) The x has spoken. (audience laughing) But of course, Trump’s
caddies can’t do everything, and it’s given Democrats hope that they finally have Donald Trump. For so long, the Democrats have been Wiley Coyote (audience laughing) to Donald Trump’s roadrunner. (audience laughing) The Democrats thought they had Trump with the felony convictions. They thought they had Trump
with the access Hollywood tape, but every time he got away. But now, with the reporting
on the Epstein files, the only way that this
guy wiggles out this one is if for some reason, convicted sex trafficker,
Ghislaine Maxwell swears under oath that Trump
had nothing to do with it. But why would she do that? Coyote, you finally got the road runner. – [Reporter] Mr. President- – [Reporter] I completely
rule out a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell when you landed. Is that something you would
ever consider and why? – Pardon? For who? – [Reporter] For Ghislaine Maxwell. – Well, I’m allowed to give her a pardon. (audience laughing) – Mi mi. (audience laughing)

In Part 3 of the Trump-Epstein saga, America learns that Pam Bondi’s DOJ informed Donald Trump he was in the Epstein files back in May 2025, MAGA Karens and the QAnon Shaman demand answers, and folksy GOP loyalists use their twang to defend the president’s questionable past. #DailyShow #Trump #Epstein
