00:01

-You know,

00:02

we often rib the president for being addled and deranged

00:05

and possibly having dementia,

00:07

but I have to give him credit where credit is due.

00:10

Last night, he wrote a very concise

00:12

and thoughtful post on social media

00:14

about the Epstein files that put to rest many of the questions

00:17

that had been haunting his administration

00:18

and made it clear that he is laser-focused

00:20

on getting to the truth.

00:22

And I'm just [bleep] with you.

00:23

Look at how long this is!

00:25

[ Laughter ]

00:27

Is there no character limit on Truth Social?

00:30

I haven't seen something that long and incoherent

00:33

since my mom accidentally had voice-to-text on

00:36

while she had a conversation with our neighbor Linda.

00:39

[ Laughter ]

00:41

For more on this, it's time for "A Closer Look."

00:43

[ Cheers and applause ]

00:47

After months of calling the Epstein files a hoax

00:49

made up by Democrats,

00:51

the president would now like you to know that, actually,

00:53

the whole "release the Epstein files" thing,

00:54

that was his idea.

00:55

-"As everyone knows,

00:56

I asked Speaker of the House Mike Johnson

00:59

and Senate Majority Leader John Thune

01:01

to pass this bill in the House and Senate, respectively."

01:05

-No, you didn't.

01:07

Don't try that move where you say "as everyone knows"

01:09

in hopes that we're all going to say,

01:11

"Everyone? But I didn't know. Am I out of the loop?"

01:13

[ Laughter ]

01:14

Everyone knows the opposite was true

01:16

because we saw it with our own eyes.

01:17

You can try to get away with saying

01:19

"as everyone knows, I have a huge penis,"

01:21

but don't do it

01:22

while you're changing at the gim-- at the gym,

01:25

because people are gonna check.

01:27

[ Laughter ]

01:29

I think "gim" is also acceptable.

01:32

People -- I think the teens are calling it "gims."

01:34

[ Laughter ]

01:35

You don't know, Sal, 'cause you're too old, but it's...

01:38

A lot of old people like Sal call it "gym,"

01:40

and teens and me...

01:42

[ Laughter and applause ]

01:45

Not that I'm -- not that I'm at the "gim" with teens!

01:48

[ Laughter ]

01:53

I also like when Trump starts using big words

01:55

like "respectively."

01:56

That's how you know he's spinning out.
