A quote from The Daily Show
He has a whole administration that can [BLEEP] up for him. So let's find out the latest in our new segment, The Worst Wing. [MUSIC PLAYING] What a bunch of losers. [LAUGHTER] By now, we all know the story about how Trump's team included a reporter in their war-planning group chat, and we don't need to hear it again. But it is super funny, so let's hear about it again, huh? REPORTER: This morning-- fallout from that stunning lapse in national security. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, along with other top members of President Trump's national security team-- sharing details about a planned large-scale attack on Yemen earlier this month on the commercial messaging app, Signal, and inadvertently including journalist Jeffrey Goldberg on that chain. Hegseth shared operational details of forthcoming strikes, weapons deploying and attack sequencing. Goldberg also reported that when it comes to security, Hegseth wrote at one point, "We are currently clean on OPSEC." That's the acronym used for Operational Security. [LAUGHTER] Oh! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! You think that's funny, don't you? That the stupid Secretary of Defense is so stupid and all drunk that he texted, "We're clean on OPSEC," when there's a reporter right in the group chat? Yeah, well, laugh it up, people. Because unlike you, I have human empathy for these people who are just trying their best to kill other humans. All right? And I guarantee that if anyone in this audience had their group chats leaked, it would ruin every single one of your lives. I personally have chats that are actually more sensitive than a missile attack on the Houthis. OK? If you told me that my group chats leaked, and then told me it was just my missile attack one, I'd be like, oh, my god, thank god, thank god. And by the way, it wasn't even Pete Hegseth who added him. It was some other incompetent guy at the highest levels of government. OK? Like, what, you think Hegseth has the editor of The Atlantic magazine saved in his phone? No way, all right? If Hegseth autofilled a contact into a group chat, it would be like Tampa Bay Blonde with Bugs Bunny Tattoos. OK? But still, you got to ask, how did this happen? I mean, don't you guys have tech support in the government? I mean, what-- oh. Oh, OK. [CHEERING, APPLAUSE] Well, uh-- OK, well, if you ask me, adding a reporter wasn't even the most embarrassing thing to happen on this group chat. REPORTER: According to Goldberg, the administration officials reacting after the strikes-- "Excellent, a good start"-- Waltz even sending several emojis. [LAUGHTER] Is anyone else kind of upset that we're conducting war by emoji now? I mean, what does this even mean? What? I'm going to fist the flag, and then light it on fire? Like-- there's a reason why you don't use emojis for life-and-death situations. It's too open to interpretation. OK?
