Summary

This week's host Jordan Klepper sits down with Daily Show writer Devin Delliquanti to recap the latest news, and preview the week to come. They weigh in on the results of the Academy Awards, the escalating war in Iran, and the growing MAGA civil war over going to war at all. They unpack the newest Republican fashion trends, from Trump's disrespectful baseball cap at the dignified transfer of American soldiers, to the cabinet's new ill-fitting Trump supplied shoes. 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.
