John Oliver addressed Megyn Kelly's recent remarks on her SiriusXM show concerning the late Jeffrey Epstein, particularly in the context of thousands of emails that were released. During the segment, Kelly attempted to clarify the definition of pedophilia while revealing that she had a source closely connected to the Epstein case. Oliver noted that Kelly's comments suggested a troubling distinction regarding Epstein's preferences, which included young teenagers, and emphasized that individuals aged 15 cannot legally consent to sexual activity. This raises significant ethical and legal concerns, especially given the allegations of rape made by many of Epstein's victims.

Oliver pointed out the absurdity of Kelly's argument, stating that it attempted to create a legal distinction that is not valid. He expressed concern over the implications of such reasoning, particularly in the context of the ongoing discussions about consent and the protection of minors. Additionally, he referenced an email from Epstein to Larry Summers, the former president of Harvard University, in which Epstein described Trump as 'dangerous' and stated that there were 'none as bad as' him, highlighting a notable perspective from someone with a controversial history.

The segment concluded with Oliver's call for accountability in discussions surrounding such serious topics, underscoring the importance of recognizing the gravity of sexual exploitation and the need for a more humane and equitable discourse around these issues.
