Looking ahead, they preview what's to come with the war, the optics of the Irish PM visiting on St. Patrick's day, and the confirmation of Markwayne Mullin, the man so nice they named him twice.

This Week's News | Jon Stewart and Michael Kosta on Trump's WTF War with Iran
Get caught up on the news of the week with Jon Stewart and Michael Kosta. Jon Stewart dives into America and Israel’s impromptu attack on Iran, Trump’s laid-back war announcement from the Mar-a-Lago basement, and MAGA’s refusal to sell the American people on the plan, purpose, and duration of the war. Michael Kosta breaks down the first four days of Trump's war on Iran: the U.S. government offers to evacuate Americans from the Middle East via bus, Trump stocks up for another forever war, conservatives quibble over the definition of "war," and friendly fire takes out $300 million worth of U.S. fighter jets. It only took five days for America's war on Iran to go off the rails, as Trump ponders the worst-case scenario, a nepo baby emerges as a top candidate to lead Iran, Sen. Markwayne Mullin stumbles over his war semantics, and Michael challenges Pete Hegseth to rethink his villainous “no mercy” speech. Finally, Michael dives into the cracks in Trump’s cabinet: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is fired in the wake of ICE chaos, corruption accusations, and affair rumors, RFK Jr. makes enemies out of Dunkin’ and Starbucks, and Pete Hegseth finds time amid the war in Iran to focus on a pet project: stripping Scouting America of its wokeness.
