- Jon Stewart criticised Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's aggressive conduct during a press conference concerning U.S. airstrikes on Iran.
- Hegseth dismissed a reporter's question about the duration of the strikes as a “gotcha” question and refused to provide specifics on the joint U.S.-Israeli bombing campaign.
- Stewart mocked Hegseth's evasive answers and confrontational style, likening him to an “Alpha Beta alum” and a high school bully.
- The comedian highlighted Hegseth's contradictory statements, where he declared the operation was not a 'regime change war' but then suggested the regime had indeed changed.
