Summary

Catch up with all the biggest news of the week with Jon Stewart and Jordan Klepper. Jon covers all the latest updates from the Middle East, including the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Brendan Carr and Pete Hegseth's anger over the media's coverage of Iran, and a wartime recession on the horizon for Americans. Jordan weighs in on Trump's plans to "take Cuba," counterterrorism chief Joe Kent's resignation over the war in Iran, MAGA's "micropenis" infighting, and Republicans spinning high oil prices into patriotism. Plus, Klepper chimes in on the president's unsavory Pearl Harbor joke at a meeting with Japan's prime minister, and Afroman's glorious defamation victory against the police.
