The Daily Show

Season 31 Episode 19: February 5, 2026 - Jon Shenk & Marcus Capone

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.
