From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central, it's America's only source for news. This is The Daily Show with your host, Michael Kosta.
Michael Kosta 0:39
I'm Michael Kosta. We've got so much to talk about tonight. Jeffrey Epstein's a royal pain. There's a big beef at the Super Bowl this weekend, and the U.S. military has a new top-secret weapon that Donald Trump can't wait to tell us all about. Hey, let's get into the headlines. It's been a month since US forces captured Nicolas Maduro right out of his Venezuelan compound and sent him to Brooklyn to serve out his life as a barista in Bushwick. And if you're wondering how a military run by these two geniuses were able to pull off that operation, turns out they had a little help.
Jon Shenk 1:21
President Trump just told the New York Post that a secret new U.S. weapon was used in that operation that captured Maduro to shut down Venezuelan equipment. He said the discombobulator.
Michael Kosta 1:36
The discombobulator? That sounds like the worst ride at Six Flags. Don't go over there, dude. Somebody puked on the discombobulator. Personally, I don't think our most advanced new weapons should have whimsical names. If I'm shot by a laser that liquefies my organs until they leak out of my eyes, I don't want it to tell my family that I was dinky zoinked to death. Can anyone follow up with the president about this weapon? You talked about the weapon, the discombobulator.
Donald Trump 2:08
Discombobulator. Well, I'm not allowed to talk about it. Let me just tell you, you know what it does? None of their equipment works. That's what it does.
Michael Kosta 2:16
Okay.

How is the fallout from the Epstein files affecting global figures?

Michael Kosta 2:17
So you said you're not allowed to talk about it, but it kind of feels like you talked about it? This dude cannot keep a secret. This is how you know there's no aliens. Because day one, Trump would have been like, I'm not supposed to say anything, but they have three boobs. But thanks. Yeah, three boobs. Hell yeah.
Hell yeah.
Michael Kosta 2:42
Hell yeah. I love this audience. But thanks for the lowdown on the discombobulator, by the way. Who the f*** came up with this name?
Donald Trump 2:51
It was my name. I'm very proud of the name.
Michael Kosta 2:55
Yeah. And it is a great name, Mr. President. It does not sound like a weapon in PAW Patrol at all. But still, can you be a bit more specific about how the discombobulator discombobulates? Like, is it a laser beam or electrical pulse?
Donald Trump 3:15
Everything was discombobulated. It was, you know, practically a shot wasn't fired. You know, they were ready. Right. And when we came, they couldn't do anything.
Marcus Capone 3:25
You saw this on the video. You could tell.
Donald Trump 3:27
Tom, it discombobulated everything.
Michael Kosta 3:32
Tom, you f***ing idiot. What part of discombobulator don't you understand? Do you think I'm just talking nonsense here?

What is Trump's history with the NFL and what are his main grievances?

Michael Kosta 3:41
This is almost unbelievable. Trump is announcing a secret weapon that disarms the enemy and ruins their equipment and disables their soldiers. This sounds too good to be true.
Jon Shenk 3:56
A senior U.S. official tells us, Senator, that Trump may be conflating several capabilities into a single weapon that doesn't actually exist.
Michael Kosta 4:05
So I'm starting to think the president might have walked in front of the discombobulator. Let's move on to the story that's been discombobulating the entire world.
Michael Kosta 4:25
Everybody is still binging the latest season of The Epstein Files, so let's get into all the fallout in another installment of the very normal and not shady handling of The Epstein Files. It's pretty boring stuff. For the past week, people have been poring over the Epstein files and learning all the connections he had to the rich and powerful. Few people have been as disgraced as former Prince Andrew. But somehow, this next batch has made him even disgracier.
Bill Clinton 5:00
Former Prince Andrew has moved out of his longtime winter home, his brother the king evicting him from the royal estate over his links to Jeffrey Epstein.
Michael Kosta 5:09
Wow, kicked out by his own brother. who is also his second cousin and his fifth uncle, 12th removed. The point is, there's a lot of incest in the royal family.
