Trump Breaks Up With MAGA Over “Boring” Epstein Files: “I Don’t Want Their Support” | The Daily Show

Let’s kick things off with
America’s big, beautiful boss, Donald Trump. He was at a conference
in Pennsylvania yesterday to discuss
AI, his go-to technology for giving Jessica
Rabbit three giant boobs. [LAUGHTER] And if you’re curious what the
commander in chief’s thoughts were about the technology
that will change our future, too bad, he decided to weave. When I first heard about AI,
you know, it’s not my thing. Although, my uncle was at MIT,
one of the great professors. 51 years, whatever, he was
the longest-serving professor in the history of MIT. Three degrees in nuclear,
chemical, and math. That’s a smart man. Let’s pause right there. [LAUGHTER] I hate to be nitpicky, but
I’m a stickler for facts. Yes, Trump’s uncle was
a famous MIT professor, but he wasn’t the
longest-serving professor at MIT history, and he didn’t
have a degree in nuclear or “chemical” or “math.” [LAUGHTER] Again, sorry to nit pick. You were saying about
your genius uncle? Kaczynski was one
of his students. Do you know who Kaczynski was? There’s very little difference
between a madman and a genius. Whoa. We went from 0 to
Unabomber like that. [SNAPS] [LAUGHTER] OK, again, I don’t
want to be that guy, but it’s unlikely that the
Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski, was a student of Trump’s
uncle at MIT because Kaczynski never went to MIT. [LAUGHTER] Now, maybe– maybe– maybe–
maybe Trump just misspoke, made a slip. I mean, who among us
hasn’t accidentally told people that her uncle
taught the Unabomber? [LAUGHTER] I once told people
my Nana gave piano lessons to John Wayne Gacy. [LAUGHTER] Not sure why. It just came out. I was probably nervous. The problem– the problem
with this little fib is that it was the cornerstone
of an entire fantasy conversation Trump
had with his uncle. What kind of a student
was he, Uncle John– Doctor John Trump? He said, what
kind of a student? Then he said, seriously good. He said he’d correct– he’d go
around correcting everybody, but it didn’t work
out too well for him. Didn’t work out too well. Wow. [LAUGHTER] Wow. An amazing story
that, once again, absolutely never happened,
because nobody knew who Kaczynski was until 1996. And Trump’s uncle died in 1985. [LAUGHTER] What I’m saying
is, isn’t it great that we finally
have a president whose brain works perfectly? [LAUGHTER] But it’s not surprising that
Trump would want to escape into a fantastical world
of Unabomber fan fiction right now, because
back in the real world, he’s still got
all his supporters breathing down his neck to
release the Epstein files. And no matter what Trump
does, he just can’t get them to shut up about it. REPORTER 1: I know you’ve
urged people to move on, but I’m curious,
why do you think your supporters, in particular,
have been so interested in the Epstein story?
– I don’t understand. REPORTER 1: Tell me about
how it’s been handled. I don’t understand it, why
they would be so interested. He’s dead for a long time. He was never a big
factor, in terms of life. [LAUGHTER] Not the guy you
call to give a eulogy. Uh– [LAUGHTER] Also, you don’t have
to like Epstein, but he clearly was a big
factor, in terms of life. He’s– he’s America’s most
famous sex criminal, which is quite a competitive category. [LAUGHTER] This just really
highlights Trump’s dilemma. He’s desperate to
tamp down the drama, but his entire career
has only taught him to heighten the drama. I mean, you can’t spend your
whole life as the messy bitch from a reality show
and then suddenly say, can we have some
decorum here, please? Because this does not
sound like Donald Trump. But I don’t understand why
the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody. It’s pretty boring stuff. It’s sordid, but it’s boring. It’s boring. Oh, yeah, what’s interesting
about a global pedophile sex ring that involves the
richest people in the world, that I might be covering up
in my own involvement in? Snooze alerts. Anyway, who wants to hear
about my copper tariffs? That’s juicy. [LAUGHTER] So, MAGA diehards, you’ve
heard your dear leader. Epstein’s just a boring dead
guy who no one cares about. I’m sure you’ll join him in
saying it’s time to move on. Nothing more to see here. We should put
everything out there, and let the people decide it. I think that the
American people need to see what’s in there. And that’s not
hard to understand. I do think there needs
to be more transparency. REPORTER 2: You don’t
believe what the Justice Department is saying? I don’t know.
No, I don’t. I don’t. I think I don’t. I don’t trust him. Oh, man, that– that guy is flat out broken. [LAUGHTER] I don’t– I don’t– I don’t– I don’t– I don’t– I don’t–
I don’t I don’t– I don’t trust– I don’t trust nothing no more. I’m going to go just fill
my pockets with rocks and walk into the sea. [LAUGHTER] Tell Manu Raju I love him. I mean, things are
so bad, even Lauren Boebert is demanding answers. Although, being Lauren Boebert,
she has a particular way of putting it. Of course, we want answers. No one is satisfied with
what has been received, or lack thereof. No one is satisfied with
the rollout of this. Yes, Mr. President, if
Lauren Boebert was in charge, you better believe she would
leave people satisfied. [GROANS] She– she would not be
jerking everyone around– [LAUGHTER] –and then leaving them
frustrated, like you. No, sir. With her, there would
be a complete finish. [GROANS] This is a shocking turn of
events for Donald Trump. His own sycophants are
breaking ranks with him. And even worse, they are
demanding accountability. I think, moving forward,
we need a special counsel. That has got to happen. I want answers. And maybe that takes that
Special Counsel to do so. Maybe Matt Gaetz can
lead the special counsel. [GROANS] You want Matt
Gaetz to investigate underage sex trafficking? [LAUGHTER] Because it makes
sense in a sort of game-recognize-game way. [LAUGHTER] I can see Matt Gaetz pulling
up to R. Kelly’s house saying, I’m putting together a team. [LAUGHTER] Also, legally, I have
to introduce myself. And this special counsel thing
might have been the last straw, because by this morning,
Trump had absolutely lost it on his supporters. REPORTER 3: He
posted this morning. He said, “my past
supporters have bought into this–,”
quote, “–bullshit hook, line, and sinker. Don’t even think about
talking of our incredible and unprecedented success,
because I don’t want their support anymore.” Goddamn, he went– he went full messy bitch. [LAUGHTER] If you can’t handle me at
my sex crimes cover up, you don’t deserve me at my
alligator concentration camps, you sluts! [LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE] Oh. Oh. Oh.
OK. All right. So Trump is in a
brutal spot right now. But like any good reality
show producer knows, always leave room
for reconciliation. And Trump might have
done that today. REPORTER 4: Mr. President, will
you ask Attorney General Pam Bondi to release more
documents to finally put this controversy to bed? Whatever is credible,
she can release. If a document is credible,
if a document’s there that is credible, she can release. You hear that? Those documents are coming or
Donald Trump’s uncle wasn’t Ted Kaczynski’s favorite teacher. [LAUGHTER] Yes. For more on the continuing
Epstein scandal, we go to the
Department of Justice and our senior
pedophile correspondent, Grace Kuhlenschmidt. [CHEERING] Wait, senior
pedophile correspondent? I didn’t know I
got a title bump. [LAUGHS]
– Well– Whoa. You’re doing
great work, Grace. So what?
What’s the latest? Huge news, Jordan. Pam Bondi has just found
some brand new recordings, just like Donald Trump asked. And not only are they
credible, they’re incredible. Wow, that’s huge. Do you have any– do
you have any insight as to where they found them? In between the
DOJ’s couch cushions. [LAUGHS] Always the
last place you look. Let’s take a listen. DONALD TRUMP IMPERSONATOR:
Hi, I’m Donald Trump. JEFFREY EPSTEIN IMPERSONATOR:
Hi, I’m Jeffrey Epstein. Nice to meet you
for the first time. DONALD TRUMP
IMPERSONATOR: Likewise. What are you up to today,
on this, the first day we’ve ever met. JEFFREY EPSTEIN IMPERSONATOR:
I’m going to go kill myself. DONALD TRUMP
IMPERSONATOR: OK, bye. [LAUGHTER] Wow. [APPLAUSE] Case closed. Credibility accredited. Uh, Grace, I mean, there’s
no way that was real. Trump and Epstein have
known each other for years. There’s plenty of
pictures of them together. You mean, like these
credible pictures that Pam Bondi just found in
the Department of Justice’s lost and found box? [LAUGHTER] See? That is an undoctored photo
where Epstein is asking if Trump wants to do
pedo stuff and Trump clearly says, no, thank you. Trump exonerated. Credibility credeemed. OK, Grace, of course
it was doctored. There are speech bubbles. It doesn’t seem suspicious that
all this so-called evidence makes Trump look good? That’s not true. Some of the evidence makes
other people look bad. Remember that missing minute
from the prison camera the night Epstein died? Pam Bondi just found
the footage at the DOJ in a DVD case for Shallow Hal. [LAUGHTER] And it is damning. Time to murder Epstein. [WITCH’S CACKLE] [APPLAUSE] I knew it. I knew Hillary was a witch. Even when I voted
for her, I said, this witch is going to kill
Jeffrey Epstein in prison. Grace. Grace, that’s clearly fake. Her legs didn’t even bend. Stop policing women’s bodies. What would convince
you, you misogynist? If she smiled more? I just don’t want fake files. OK, fine. This next one’s
filename was labeled Real Epstein Audio Underscore
Real Underscore Not Fake. Can you give this one a chance? JEFFREY EPSTEIN
IMPERSONATOR: Hey, Donald. I know you’ve said repeatedly
that you don’t want to come to my sex crime Island because
you love your current wife, but I’ll be there all week. Check out who’s with me. JEROME POWELL IMPERSONATOR:
It’s me, future Fed Chair Jerome Powell. The only thing I love
more than sex crimes is not lowering interest rates. ZOHRAN MAMDANI IMPERSONATOR:
And I’m Zohran Mamdani. I suck. [GROANS] You want to apologize
to me now, Klepper? No! No! None of that was real. I guess no amount of
evidence will convince you. You sound crazy. Hold on. Sorry, I’m getting a call. Hello? It’s Jeffrey Epstein.
– No! [LAUGHS] No, it’s not. Jeffrey Epstein
is very much dead. Jordan, I’m on the phone. OK, let me talk to him. Put him on speakerphone. OK, OK. Jeffrey? He just told me he
killed himself again. Thanks a lot, Jordan. Senior pedophile
correspondent, Grace Kuhlenschmidt, everyone. [APPLAUSE]

Jordan Klepper follows MAGA’s continued frustration with Trump for not releasing the Epstein files, and Trump’s continued frustration with MAGA for not shutting up about it. Plus, Lauren Boebert suggests the GOP’s own underage-sex-trafficking expert, Matt Gaetz, should lead a special counsel investigation into the hidden files, but The Daily Show’s Grace Kuhlenschmidt already has all the evidence Trump’s supporters could ever need. #DailyShow #Trump #EpsteinFiles
