The Daily Show: Ears Edition

Trump's war in the Middle East rages on, with Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz and Americans gearing up to face the infamous R-word: recession. Plus, FCC Chair Brendan Carr and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth aren't happy with the news media's confused coverage of the war in Iran, so Jon Stewart gets some truth and clarity from a panel of experts: President Trump, Donald J. Trump, DJT, and John Barron.

Mayor Matt Mahan of San José sits down with Jon to discuss his candidacy for governor of California. They talk about building constituents' trust by reducing homelessness, crime, and delivering on housing promises, regulating AI to help the industry boom in a way that protects people's livelihoods and privacy, and what his background in public school teaching and tech start-ups taught him about examining data to create pragmatic solutions in government.

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.
