Epstein Emails Reveal “Bubba” Bombshell About Trump & Republicans Pretend It’s NBD | The Daily Show

Welcome to The Daily Show. My name is Jon Stewart. We have a tremendous
show for you tonight. Later on, we’re
going to be joined by CNN International
anchor Christiane Amanpour. [CHEERING] But first, we need to talk
about the big revelations that have been coming out
about the private lives of America’s depraved,
coastal elites. I’m referring, of course
to The Real Housewives of Rhode Island trailer. Andy Cohen. At BravoCon, it appears
the smallest state might have the biggest drama. And then, obviously,
there’s also thousands more Jeffrey
Epstein emails to go through. Let’s get into that with
another installment of- [MUSIC PLAYING] It’s pretty boring stuff. [LAUGHING] On the premiere of season
eight of the Epstein files, old emails continue
to resurface, sparking renewed interest,
because of exchanges like this one, which
really encapsulates the absolutely astonishing
nature of this entire affair. I give you– this
is an email exchange between Jeffrey Epstein
and his brother, Mark. REPORTER: In one email,
Epstein’s brother, Mark, told him to ask Steve
Bannon if, quote, “Putin has the photos
of Trump blowing Bubba?” [LAUGHING] This sentence, maybe 18 words
long, seven of those words are Steve Bannon, Putin,
photos, Trump blowing Bubba. It’s a rich text. Literary scholars will secure
tenure of the analysis of– of this text. Steve Bannon, Putin,
photos, Trump blowing Bubba. And I know what you’re
probably thinking. Jeffrey Epstein had a brother? [LAUGHING] He did, apparently. And to the second thing
that you might be thinking– REPORTER: Mark Epstein released
a statement clarifying that the name “Bubba” was not
a reference to former President Bill Clinton. [LAUGHING] Thank you
for clearing that up. No further questions,
your honor. Boy, before I go,
one last thing. Which Bubba was
he blowing then? It’s not Bubba Gump. That’s a restaurant. And you can’t
blow a restaurant. By the way, that’s not
a challenge, Mr. President. You see, but these
are the kinds of questions that
can be answered by releasing the Epstein
files, which Donald Trump has been steadfastly against. I don’t understand why
the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody. It’s pretty boring stuff. Did you see
the blowing email? It’s kind of interesting. [CHEERING] I mean, the little
taste of that– no pun intended– did arouse– again, no pun intended– some curiosity about
the rest of– if I may– the load. That one I meant. But pressure is building–
is there any way to talk about this
story that doesn’t sound ejaculate adjacent? [LAUGHING] People are begging
on their knees. No, this is not. Demanding release? No, this is– [LAUGHING] But the House
of Representatives clearly now has the votes
to demand that the Epstein files be released. Which is why this
weekend, Trump pivoted. REPORTER: The president
writing on social media, “House Republicans should vote
to release the Epstein files, because we have
nothing to hide.” Oh. Nothing to hide. For those of you at home who
are watching tonight and have something to hide, whether it
be a simple guilty pleasure of the lowbrow
television variety– hello, swinging Mormons– or a body encased in concrete
by your sump, at some point, the walls will close in. At which point, you
too will probably find yourself saying, maybe
not via tweet, hey, go ahead. Look, I got nothing to hide. But you do. You do. And so does Trump. Because guess what? If you had nothing
to hide, he could have declassified
and released these files himself at any time. How do I know this? A legal expert named Donald
Jurisprudence Trump said so. If you’re the president
of the United States, you can declassify just
by saying, it’s declassified. Even by thinking about it. [LAUGHING] Come on, Danny boy,
don’t think about it. No, don’t even–
think about baseball. Think about your grandma. Think about baseball. Think about your grandma
playing baseball. Don’t think about
the classified– I declassified it! Oh, I shouldn’t have
done it, but I did it. [CHEERING] I declassified in my pants. It’s very clear, Trump does not
want these things out there, which is obvious even from his
nonsensical answers about it in the Oval Office today. We have nothing
to do with Epstein. The Democrats do. All of his friends
were Democrats. You look at this, Reid Hoffman. You look at Larry
Summers, Bill Clinton. First of all, are you OK? [LAUGHING] And second of all, we’ve
tried to look at those people. But every time we do,
your picture comes up. But [BLEEP] yeah,
investigate everyone who had a relationship with
Epstein, which includes, if we’re being honest,
you, Mr. President. And by the way,
investigate the Democrats, and maybe you’ll find out– [APPLAUSE] Yeah, exactly. Investigate them all. And by the way, while
you’re out there, see if you can find the
Democrat who cut a sweetheart deal for Ghislaine Maxwell
after she told your lawyer, she never saw you
do anything wrong. Oh, and by the way,
never saw Jeffrey Epstein do anything wrong, either. Have at it. Because the perks that Maxwell
is getting in prison would seem sketchy for a run-of-the-mill,
white collar larcenist, let alone a convicted
sex trafficker. REPORTER: Tonight, new details
about the list of perks that Ghislaine Maxwell
is getting behind bars. Private meals
and mail delivery, cell mates reassigned
for privacy, special visits
in the chapel, and the warden helps her send
documents and emails. The warden? Hello, warden. It’s Ghislaine. I’m having just an awful time
converting this file to PDF. [LAUGHING] Would you be a dear? Yeah, I’ll send the IT guy. Oh, no. You will attend
to this personally. Yes, Ghislaine. I’m sorry. Yes– I’m sorry. Am I still on the phone? Yes. Yes, Ms. Maxwell. And scene. All right. [CHEERING] I mean, come on. The [BLEEP] warden? And it gets cushier, literally. REPORTER: One
of the perks that I think that people
may be surprised that is a perk is the idea
of unlimited toilet paper. The audience literally
gasped right now. [LAUGHING] I’ve been a free
man my whole life. I have never had
unlimited toilet paper. Never in my life. [CHEERING] I wasn’t raised that way. But Maxwell, she’s
just wiping and wiping. Hello, Warden. Would you be a dear? Unlimited toilet paper. It does explain her prison
Halloween costume this year. [LAUGHING] Ooh, unlimited. Is it possible that
Trump’s whole bullshit facade is crumbling? I mean, right
now, all he can do is distract from one lie with
what is clearly another lie. All I want is
I want for people to recognize a great
job that I’ve done on pricing, on affordability. What planet do you live on? Great job on affordability? My Taco Bell order is now $72. [LAUGHTER] By the way, I still round
up for the children. [LAUGHTER] [CHEERING] I don’t want you thinking
I don’t round up. This dude is flailing. The normally reliable
Trump is even struggling to deliver
on his greatest gift, the cutting nickname. REPORTER: Over the weekend,
President Trump repeatedly going after
one of his closest allies and staunchest
defenders, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. REPORTER: Calling her Marjorie
Taylor Brown because, quote, “green grass turns brown
when it begins to rot.” [LAUGHTER] You know, I’ve always
said that the best nicknames are the ones you
have to explain in parentheses. [LAUGHTER] Right, Bubba? Hey, Bubba. Hey, Bubba. He’s from the South,
and he likes being blown. Bubba. But believe me, this is real. This Epstein thing
is no Democrat hoax. And you know it’s real because
Trump’s allies are working overtime to distract–
or in the case of Fox News, not even to mention. When the emails came out, Fox
devoted most of their airtime to such urgent matters as the
socialist takeover of Seattle, the Treasury phasing out
the penny, the Northern Lights, the growing popularity
of Christian music, and, as always, Kamala
Harris goes crazy for carbs. [LAUGHTER] Move over, elite
pedophile ring. Kamala’s gone Garfield
on the lasagna. [LAUGHTER] [CHEERING] My god. Any other problems
with the emails? Another critique we’re
hearing from some Republicans is that these emails
are cut and spliced. They’re taken out of context. Some of them are a little
bit difficult to decode, if you will. Bullshit. Difficult to decode? Have you read these emails? They weren’t put together
by Navajo Code Talkers. Here are the emails. Hey, Jeffrey, rented
a huge house in Ibiza, invited lots of girls
from Russia, all models. The scout used
to scout for Trump, but he doesn’t work
for him anymore. He’s coming with 12 girls
and would like to meet you. Or how about this one? I will send you a picture of
this Burmese girl, very pretty. I will bring her to the US. Yeah, probably not on an H-1B. Look, these emails
are explicit. And they were written post
Epstein’s conviction in 2008. And even then, these
mother-[BLEEP] felt so invincible that
they didn’t even think to try and hide any of it. No mafia hey, did you
take care of that thing? No the donuts are
in the container. No even “ix-nay”
on the “irls-gay.” [LAUGHTER] But suddenly, the right
is all, (IN SILLY VOICE) this is impenetrable. What language be this? (IN REGULAR VOICE)
So let’s go back and remember how this whole
[BLEEP] dance started. Let me take you back to 2016,
when another batch of emails was released. And MAGA had no trouble
busting out the decoder rings for those emails. REPORTER: The Pizzagate
conspiracy began with the Clinton Wikileaks. The conspiracy theory quickly
spread to Reddit and YouTube, feeding fake
online news stories alleging a Clinton
campaign child sex ring. Well, that– a child– that’s
an incredibly serious charge. And seeing how
the right doesn’t like to jump
to conclusions on emails, I assume that these
emails were pretty concise and clear about
the extent of what would be a horrific crime. REPORTER: The original
source of all this– a leaked email to John Podesta,
Hillary Clinton’s campaign chief. It was from his brother. And it said simply, “would
love to get a pizza”. [LAUGHTER] My god. Could it be any clearer that
John Podesta and his brother are running a family-owned
child sex ring? What else could “would
love to get a pizza” mean? That was the famous
Pizzagate conspiracy, when people were so obsessed
with finding evidence of sex trafficking, they
built a whole code book and applied it to those emails. REPORTER: What they found were
numerous references to pizza, a term Urban Dictionary says
is slang for child pornography. So somehow, they
concluded that Podesta and company were speaking in code. REPORTER: These
conspiracy theorists started saying that pizza
and cheese and pasta were code words, referring,
in fact, to child sex abuse. NARRATOR: Why did
the Podesta emails mention the code word
pasta for either little boy or sex 78 times? Why would he mention pasta
78 times, other than the fact that he’s Italian? [LAUGHTER] He’s Italian. What are you– [APPLAUSE] He’s Italian. If you try to type
Podesta into your phone, half the time, it will
autocorrect to pasta. [LAUGHTER] If anything, 78 times is low. I mean, who knows what
this [BLEEP] dude is into? But mentioning pasta
doesn’t make someone a pedophile, even if it does
make them a penne-phile. [LAUGHTER] [CHEERING] Hi. I’m comedian and Daily
Show host, Jon Stewart. Sometimes it’s a challenge
for a comedy show to discuss
sex-trafficking networks. So you have to find
the jokes wherever you can. Generally, that does
include pasta puns, even if they do make me
feel a little fusilli. [LAUGHTER] But the Pizzagate
conspiracy wasn’t just left to grow on its own. People in MAGA world were
very happy to feed that fire. This is tied into Podesta
with thousands of emails. QAnon– a lot of this stuff
these guys have been talking about comes out to be true. Pizzagate, as it’s
called, is a rabbit hole that is horrifying to go down. Yeah. I think if people thought
anytime someone mentioned pizza, they were talking about
having sex with kids, yeah, that would actually
be terrifying because it’s the most
popular food in the country. But you know what
this shit does? It trivializes
and tries to politicize what is an actual real [BLEEP]
problem in this country and this world and has now
put those same influencers in the position to back away
from this in present time with far more
explicit evidence. This is an email
without any context. Once again,
ultimately, it’s just Epstein trying to pull
Trump in and implicate him. And they’ve been over them. They’ve been cherry picked. They know it’s there. It’s all old stuff. So it’s just more
gaslighting, more deception. (IN GRUFF VOICE)
As I’ve always said, context is important. [LAUGHTER] As I say on my show
every day, the truth is oftentimes nuanced. [LAUGHTER] That’s why you got to be
real careful with this shit. (IN REGULAR VOICE) And as for
Bannon, through these emails, we’ve learned he was working
with Epstein to figure out ways he could rehabilitate
Epstein’s image. It’s [BLEEP] amazing. With these Podesta
emails, it was all, they were the enigma
machine, decoding everything. But these Epstein
emails now are a New York Times crossword
puzzle from a Monday. [LAUGHTER] You can figure this
shit out in ink. In fact, the only guy– the only guy– the only guy
that I have to give props to is Alan Dershwitz, not
for moral integrity. But this dude’s been on
Epstein’s team from the get-go. And he’s sticking with it. He pleaded
guilty to one count of having sex for money
with a 17-year and 10-month-old person. That’s not pedophile. Yeah. Little– little rule– rule of
thumb for everyone out there. If you ever find
yourself counting anyone’s age in months– [LAUGHTER] –chances are, the person
you’re describing is still a child. But maybe the most shocking
thing about this– and I cannot stress this enough– convicted sex trafficker is the
extent of his social network. We mentioned some
of the emails between Epstein and writer Michael Wolff. REPORTER: Epstein
emailed he received a gift from Saudi Crown
Prince Mohammed bin Salman. REPORTER: Contacts include
liberal academic Noam Chomsky. Ehud Barak and Larry
Summers and Deepak Chopra. REPORTER: Soon-Yi Previn,
Woody Allen’s wife. Lynda Thomas
of the New York Times. REPORTER: The former
Prince Andrew. Ken Starr. REPORTER: Peter Thiel. Look at the names
in these emails. You got Democrats, Republicans,
Silicon Valley billionaires, spiritual thought leaders. You got an Israeli prime
minister and the crown prince of Saudi Arabia. My God, the range. What it tells you is that
a certain stratosphere, the petty differences of class
and race and religion fade away, where left and right,
Jew, Arab, and Christian, ultra rich, and “oh
my god, is that a rocket?” rich find common ground
and show us that we can live in peaceful coexistence. [INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC] It would be almost beautiful if not
for the sex-trafficking part. [LAUGHTER] Oh my god, elite sex
trafficking ring. Is there anything
you can’t spoil? And I’m not saying these
people are all in the ring. But Epstein was
a convicted sex offender at the time of these emails. And of course, mentioned
in these emails more than anyone else,
more than 1,600 times, is Donald Trump. Is that evidence of his guilt? No. But it shows that he’s
a part of that world. And certainly,
the circumstantial evidence points to his understanding
of what was occurring. But if there are
more of you out there that need definitive proof,
perhaps this will convince you. It’s wrong, isn’t it? But it feels so right. Then it’s a deal? Yes. We eat our pizza the wrong way. Crust first. NARRATOR: Introducing
stuffed-crust pizza from Pizza Hut. Oh my god,
they’re doing anal.

A batch of newly surfaced Epstein emails sparks Trump’s fight-or-flight mode, a diversionary DOJ investigation into the Democrats, and a Fox News crash out as pundits try to downplay the Epstein files. While rumors swirl about a jaw-dropping degree of closeness between Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, Jon Stewart urges the GOP to hold their Epstein sleuthing to the same standard as their investigation into the QAnon Pizzagate conspiracy. #DailyShow #JonStewart #Trump #Epstein
