Hello. Welcome to the Daily Show. I'm Ron Ch. We got so much to talk about tonight, so let's get right into the controversy that's still rocking Trump's cabinet in another installment of the worst wing.

What a bunch of losers.

None of that was AI. By now, we all know that Donald Trump's meritocracy brain geniuses planned an attack on Yemen in a signal group chat and accidentally invited a journalist, Jeffrey Goldberg. And this story might have ended on day one if the administration had just owned it and made some bullshit statement like, sorry, we're taking accountability. Hashtag listening and learning, and blah, blah, blah. But they just can't help themselves, because whenever they're in trouble, their default response is to punch their way out of it, which only makes things worse. So now we're still talking about this three days later instead of what I wanted to cover tonight, which was 23andMe going bankrupt and what they're gonna do with all your DNA. One word, face off. Okay, okay, that's, that's two words with a slash, and we can't decide. Look, it doesn't matter, all right? The point is, they're gonna put your face on someone else, and the White House wants to move on. They've got to come clean and stop stepping on their own dicks. Okay, so let's start with something easy for National Security Adviser Mike Waltz. How did the reporter get invited into the group chat? I don't mean to be pedantic here.

But how did the number.

Have you ever had a.

Have you ever had somebody's contact that.

Shows their name, and then you have an. And then you have somebody else's number there, right? You've got somebody else's number on someone else's contact. So of course I didn't see this loser in the group. It looked like someone else. I mean, I'm sure everybody out there has had a contact where you. It was said one person and then a different phone number. No, no one's, no one's ever had. No one's ever had that. All right? People don't have a contact with a phone number for, like, a different person unless they're having an affair. So I, I, I guess I'm saying I think this guy is having an affair with Jeffrey Goldberg. And, and look, even if that was an actual somewhat relatable mistake, maybe try not making that mistake when you're planning a war. And why are you shitting on Jeffrey Goldberg? He's a loser. This guy sucks. He's dishonest. He didn't do anything. All he did was wake up in the morning. And you added him to your group chat. You, like, abducted him and forced him to see your secrets. But, okay. The bigger issue is what was shared in the group chat. Jeffrey Goldberg says there were war plans that were so sensitive, he didn't even put them in his article. But Pete Hegseth spent the last two days saying he's lying. Nobody was texting war plans. Nobody's texting war plans. Nobody's texting war plans. Okay, great. Couldn't be more clear. Nobody was texting war plans. You hear me? Nobody was texting war plans. Nobody was texting.
