The Daily Show Season 31 Episode 19 Synopsis

Michael Kosta reports on Trump revealing a supposed secret military weapon called the "Discombobulator", and the impact of newly released Epstein emails on global figures - Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor facing renewed scrutiny, Sarah Ferguson shutting down her charity, and Bill Clinton preparing to testify before Congress. Despite Trump's frequent mentions in the files, he remains unaffected. Desi Lydic explores Trump's long running conflicts with the NFL, from reduced violence to team name changes and halftime shows. A 2014 discussion with Stephen A. Smith even raises the question of whether the NFL helped enable Trump's rise. Kosta also speaks to director Jon Shenk and former Navy SEAL Marcus Capone about Capone's experience with the psychedelic treatment ibogaine, highlighted in the Netflix documentary In Waves and War, and his work with VETS, a nonprofit helping veterans access similar therapy.

The Emmy and Peabody Award-winning Daily Show takes a reality-based look at news, trends, pop culture, current events, politics, sports and entertainment with an alternative point of view.

In each show anchorman Trevor Noah and a team of correspondents comment on the day's stories, employing actual news footage, taped field pieces, in-studio guests and on-the-spot coverage of important news events and finally interviews with guest celebrities and political figures.
