You're listening to Comedy Central.
From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central, it's America's only source for news. This is The Daily Show with your host, Josh Johnson.
Welcome to The Daily Show. I'm Josh Johnson. We've got so much to talk about tonight. We read some emails that should have been a meeting. An emotional support dog is about to quit on the job. And Nick Offerman has a beef with how we make beef. So let's get into the headlines. Donald Trump's been having a pretty good time. The shutdown ended. He didn't have to concede anything. And he didn't even have to give poor people health care, his favorite kind of deal. Everything's coming up Trump. Nothing can stop the Trump train now.
Breaking news. Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein mentioned Donald Trump by name several times in private emails.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Trump train is experiencing a slight delay there. There is an Epstein file on the tracks. We should be moving as soon as we get that cleared.
But fine, Epstein mentioned Trump in an email. That doesn't mean he did anything wrong. Maybe the email was about how Trump never comes to his sex parties. Rude. I say this because I'm an American, living in America. And no matter what party you're in or who you voted for, it would be better for all of us, as a general matter, if we do not have a sexual predator as president. Because it would... It would make our country look so bad, you know? How embarrassing would that be if we, America, went from being the shining city on a hill to not being allowed within a thousand feet of the hill? So let's just stay calm and see what the email said before we jump to conclusions.
These are emails from Jeffrey Epstein to Ghislaine Maxwell. This is one from April 2, 2011. And in this email, Jeffrey Epstein writes to Ghislaine Maxwell and says, quote, I want you to realize that the dog that hasn't barked is Trump.
Okay, that doesn't sound good at all, but you know, that dog hasn't barked could mean a lot of things. Maybe Trump's feet hurt, all right? So that's all the news in terms of bombshell emails? It's not a lot. It's not like there's an email with a journalist where he's strategizing how to blackmail Trump.
Michael Wolff says, quote, I hear that CNN is planning to ask Trump tonight about his relationship with you. If he says he hasn't been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency. You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you. Or if it really looks like he could win, you could save him generating a debt.
I like that Epstein was like, yeah, that seems like a lot of work. I'm probably just going to kill myself.
And did he really have leverage anyway? All I've seen so far is Epstein and Maxwell saying Trump is a dog that hasn't barked. We don't know what he didn't bark about. Maybe the rest of that email clears them. I want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is Trump. Unnamed victim spent hours at my house with him. He has never once been mentioned. According to the released emails, Maxwell responds, I have been thinking about that. Oh, shit. I think the Trump train crashed. Because this isn't just not a good look. It's one of the worst looks I've ever seen. Like, I'm talking Adrian Brody in a Rasta wig bag. Also, why was Jeffrey Epstein writing about his crimes in emails? That's so dumb. He's firing off his Blackberry to Ghislaine like, hey girl, following up about the sex crimes.
Hope Trump doesn't snitch about the sex crimes. Hit me up if you want sex crimes this weekend. Say what you want about Donald Trump, but he knows better than to put incriminating shit in emails. He does it in person, or on the phone, or reportedly inside a sketch of a naked lady. But never email. Trump has to be pretty unhappy. That new evidence is coming out because he's worked so hard to prevent that.
What do the newly released Epstein emails reveal about Trump being the 'dog that hasn't barked'?
Remember, Ghislaine Maxwell got moved into a country club prison after she gave an interview saying this.
I never witnessed the president in any inappropriate setting in any way.
