US EditionJon Stewart Slams Trump Over Free Speech & Blames ‘The White Lotus’ for Group War Chat Disaster
- On the March 24 edition of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart criticized Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Republicans for hypocrisy regarding free speech, beginning with Hegseth's accidental inclusion of Jeffrey Goldberg in a text group discussing U.S. Plans for military strikes on Huthi rebels in Yemen.
- The criticism stems from Republicans allegedly blasting former President Joe Biden over the supposed end of free speech and accusing him of running a 'thought police'.
- Stewart aired clips of Donald Trump urging for networks such as CNN and MSNBC to be shut down, despite Republicans positioning themselves as champions of free speech.

- The Trump administration has been accused of actions against the freedom of speech and the press, including threatening to defund universities, investigating colleges for alleged antisemitism and diversity programs, and revoking the Associated Press' access to the White House after the AP refused to call the Gulf of Mexico, 'Gulf of America'.
