08 Oct 2025

Description

Josh Johnson dives into AG Pam Bondi's refusal to answer questions about Epstein during a fiery Senate hearing, Trump pretending to forget Ghislaine Maxwell’s name while also not ruling out a pardon for her, and the president's recent obsession with whether he’ll make it to heaven. Plus, Troy Iwata reveals what it really takes to earn an afterlife. Burmese pythons are decimating the ecosystem of Florida's Everglades, but Amy Siewe, a.k.a. the Python Huntress, is on a mission to take out this slithery problem. Michael Kosta joins her on a python hunt and gives this hero the thankssssss she deserves. Founder and Executive Director of Black Girl Environmentalist, Wawa Gatheru, sits down with Josh to discuss her organization’s mission to build a pipeline in the climate sector for Black women and gender expansive people to create more environmental equity and provide resources for the next generation of green leaders. She shares how she stays optimistic in the face of the climate crisis by reframing the narrative as an opportunity to inherit the wisdom of past movements and restructure our world into something better, and emphasizes the importance of telling inspiring stories of climate work to make it more exciting and accessible for everyone.

Welcome to The Daily Show. I'm Josh Johnson. We have got so much to talk about tonight. Pam Bondi plays hardball, Mike Johnson gives Congress blue balls, and Trump wants to get into that big Epstein Island in the sky. So let's get into the headlines. Yesterday, Trump was in the Oval Office to announce the construction of a big road in Alaska. Congrats, Alaska. You finally got a road.

And we know one thing about Trump is that he likes to keep his press conferences focused and on topic. So let's hear what he has to say about this cool road.

I want to be good because you want to prove to God that you're good.

75.184 - 79.853 Michael Kosta

So you go to that next step. Right. So that's very important to me.

84.341 - 105.232 Josh Johnson

Trump, are you sick? I mean, aside from all the visible signs that your body is falling apart, are you sick or something? Like, we should take a second here because this is the first time I've seen Trump be humble about anything. Like, normally he'd be like, heaven's begging me to come. I'm only staying alive to play hard to get.

106.413 - 122.685 Josh Johnson

Jesus came up to me with tears in his eyes and he said, please, sir, come fix heaven. It's a total dump. It's like he just realized he only has immunity here on Earth. And this isn't a one-off. Trump's been talking about this heaven thing a lot lately.

123.626 - 141.987 Donald Trump

If you're not a believer and you believe you go nowhere, what's the reason to be good, really? There has to be some kind of a report card up there someplace. You know, like, let's go to heaven. Let's get into heaven. I want to try and get to heaven if possible. I'm hearing I'm not doing well. I really hit the bottom of the totem pole.

146.472 - 184.285 Josh Johnson

Oh, man, this is such a bleak and completely accurate view of his chances in heaven. I will say, though, you never want to see the guy who's supposed to keep you healthy and safe talk about dying. Like, he's supposed to be leading you. You never want to hear a pilot over the system be like, oh, I just can't wait to get into heaven. Like, uh, can we get to Pittsburgh first?
