You're listening to Comedy Central. From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central, it's America's only source for news. This is The Daily Show with your host, Desi Lydon.
We've got so much to talk about tonight. Pete Hegsa throws his admiral under the boat. Kash Patel puts on his big boy clothes. And at the White House, Melania decks the halls that haven't been bulldozed. So let's get into it with another installment of The Worst Wing.
What a bunch of losers. It's been a chaotic year for the White House, from the ballroom construction to a new decor style that design experts are calling Leprechaun Bukkake. The point is that people's house is in rough shape, and I don't know if anything at all could save it now. Wait, do you hear that? Is that what I think it is? Who gives a about Christmas stuff and decoration, but I need to do it, right? Yes! It's a Christmas miracle!
The First Lady unveiled the 2025 White House Christmas decorations today. This year's theme, home, is where the heart is.
I love how she's touching everything like that. Would someone who hates Christmas do these? Or these? Yes, the theme is home is where the heart is. Or as Melania calls it, New York. Can I go home now? I mean, good God, she didn't even take her coat off. Keep car running outside. That won't be long. And while Melania was decking the halls, Donald was dreaming of sugar plums dancing in his head. Unfortunately, it was in the middle of a cabinet meeting where he somehow Kept falling asleep while people worked really hard to kiss his ass? As we speak to you now, Steve Woodcoff is in Moscow trying to find a way to end this war to save lives of 8, 9,000 people, Mr. President, as you know, are dying every week.
Jeez, normally dudes fall asleep after someone blows them. If you're falling asleep mid-blow job, you should see a doctor. But let's move on to Kash Patel, FBI director and man who just found out that Kash Patel is the FBI director. And now, a new report is giving people yet another reason to question Kash's priorities as director.
The day after Charlie Kirk's assassination, sources in this report say that Kash Patel flew in to Provo Airport on the FBI jet and then refused to get off until someone provided him with a medium-sized FBI raid jacket. One was found belonging to a female agent and taken to the plane.
Okay, obviously, as an enlightened, progressive person, I believe that gender expression is a spectrum, and we shouldn't judge people for what they wear. At the same time, gay!
What are the latest updates on Pete Hegseth's war crime allegations?
But honestly, you can't even tell that it's a women's jacket, although looking back on it, you can tell that he was up there thinking, I hope no one can tell I'm wearing a women's jacket. But come on, throwing a tantrum and refusing to get out of the plane until he had exactly what he wanted to wear? I know he borrowed a woman's jacket, but did he borrow her period too? And getting his jacket wasn't even enough. Cash still needed to accessorize.
But then Patel, according to these sources, was displeased by the fact that it didn't have Velcro patches on the upper arms. And so then these agents had to go scurrying around trying to find Velcro patches. Finally, some SWAT raid guys produced them off their own jackets.
Oh, my God. It's like trying to get your eight-year-old out the door for school. No, Mom, I'm not leaving until I find my special jacket, the one with the cool patches. But let's move on to the big news about Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense and guy who will buy you a beer even if you're underage. And also, you didn't even ask him for beer. And also, he's just drinking the beer all by himself. I'm kidding. Pete assures us he's sober, although he might need a drink now. Now to the intensifying controversy surrounding Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over an alleged order to kill everyone on a suspected drug boat and a second strike that targeted survivors. Lawmakers from both parties and legal experts say this could be a war crime.
Oh my God. I can't believe Pete Hegseth might be going down for war crimes.
