Kash Patel Gets Tangled in Bestiality Questions & Don Jr. Gets a Blushing Bribe | Colin Kaepernick

SPEAKER_1 (0:02)

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.

Josh Johnson (0:33)

I'm Josh Johnson. We've got so much to talk about tonight. Canada is mad at us, but they're too polite to say why. Pete Hegseth orders a strike on Fugly, and Kash Patel tells Congress he does not like it doggy style. So, let's get into it with another edition of The Worst Wing.

Let's kick things off with Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense and guy at the tattoo parlor who's always getting asked, are you sure? He may be in charge of a war that we're clearly losing, but don't worry. Hegseth is laser focused on making sure his next speech looks sexy.

SPEAKER_5 (1:19)

Well, according to The Wall Street Journal tonight, Hegseth Pentagon is focused on finding troops who embody the secretary's specific brand of masculinity to serve as the backdrop for his next speech. Commanders are now reportedly being asked to nominate troops who meet Hegseth's waist-to-height requirements and also exhibit quote-unquote, impeccable grooming standards.

Josh Johnson (1:43)

I'm sorry, is this guy still in charge of the military or is he in charge of Casting Love Island? I can just see him screaming like, all these soldiers are gonna watch this speech shirtless, so no pepperoni nipples! I've never heard anyone say the phrase waist-to-height ratio before. This man cannot count the number of missiles you need to fight a war with Iran, but when it comes to male physique, he's a beautiful mind? And asking for impeccable grooming is a little strange. But it's nice to know this administration is finally taking grooming seriously.

Let's move on from Pete Hegseth to another perfect specimen of masculinity, Donald Trump Jr. This summer, he celebrated one of the most important days in any man's life, his second wedding.

SPEAKER_6 (2:39)

We had an awesome small ceremony in the Bahamas. It was just absolutely cool. I think I got some video.

Josh Johnson (3:05)

What a beautiful ceremony in the Church from Sinners.

But poor Tiffany, even at a wedding that's basically in a room, she could only get an obstructed view? Still, I'm not gonna hit on this story. For once, I'm glad to see the Trumps finally having a family get together without any corruption.

SPEAKER_7 (3:35)

A Russian oligarch with ties to Vladimir Putin paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to help finance Donald Trump Jr.'s recent wedding celebration in the Bahamas.

Josh Johnson (3:44)

Here comes the bribe...

from a Russian guy. Alright, what did comrade oligarch give him?

SPEAKER_8 (3:53)

The parties that followed were anything but low-key, including professional dancers and a large fireworks display. ProPublica says this man, Umar Kremlev, seen in the back of this photo, footed the bill.

SPEAKER_9 (4:07)

Dang, look at him back there. He paid for all that and he got Tiffany'd?

Josh Johnson (4:16)

Also the guy who gave them 700k is named Umar Kremlev? I don't want to be culturally insensitive, but that name sounds like a knockoff James Bond villain. He's a spy from the Kremlin. Let's call him Kremlev.

But I'm getting distracted. A Russian oligarch with ties to Putin paid for the president's son's wedding weekend. And this is a presidential family of billionaires, which means you just did corruption for the love of the gang. One person who is not happy about the reveal is the bride, Bettina Trump. Bettina. I've never seen those letters put together before. Bettina Trump. Or as President Trump calls her, Melania. What are you doing here? I thought you'd never come back.

When Bettina heard people were saying that her wedding was nothing more than a tawdry bribe, she set the record straight.

SPEAKER_10 (5:19)

His wife, Bettina Anderson, responded to ProPublica's reporting today with this on Instagram. Don and I got married privately on Friday, surrounded only by our family. And our dear friend Umar very generously hosted two incredible nights of celebrations for us after our wedding.

Josh Johnson (5:37)

Yeah, that's right, fake news. They didn't pay for my wedding. They paid for the much more expensive after party. Because I'm not cheap. I'm Bettina.

This whole family has been making billions off Trump's presidency, and they still can't resist a freebie. Whether it's a Qatari jet or a post-wedding chocolate fountain, all of Trump's kids have front row access to everything. Well, almost all of them.

But let's move on from Don Jr, who technically has no responsibilities in the administration, to someone who does have responsibilities, he just doesn't worry about him. FBI Director Kash Patel. Yesterday Kash testified before the Senate, and the FBI is facing a lot of scrutiny right now, so these hearings were a chance for the Senate to really dig in.
