It has been seven months since Vladimir Putin
went DEFCON 3 on Ukraine.
And in the last month, Ukraine has been kicking Russia's
ass all up and down the map.
They have defeated Russian soldiers
across the front lines.
They blew up a key supply bridge
deep in Russian territory.
And they even gave Putin's personal email to Bed
Bath & Beyond's mailing list.
Anyway, another week of the war means another week of updates.
So let's catch up on how it's all going in another edition
of "Vlad Gone Mad."
[music playing]
After series of defeats, Vladimir Putin
has been so humiliated that it was just a matter of time
before he lashed out.
And yesterday, he did just that,
launching missile strikes against civilian targets
all across Ukraine for the first time since the beginning
of the war.
Now, unfortunately for him, the missile strikes only
seem to have emboldened the Ukrainian people, who
went right back outside off to the strikes
to live their lives and get coffee.
And if you ask me, that is a testament
to how resilient the Ukrainian people are,
and to how addicted people are to coffee.
These people were just at Starbucks
like, I know missiles are coming,
but pumpkin spice season is very limited.
But it turns out--
It turns out a lot of people don't
know this part of the story.
Vladimir Putin and his people weren't
just lashing out at Ukraine.
No.
They decided to take a piece of the war to America.
(ON TV): The TSA is investigating
a coordinated cyber attack on the websites
of more than a dozen us airports, including LaGuardia.
And Russian speaking hackers are claiming responsibility.
LaGuardia was the first to be impacted around 3:00
yesterday morning.
And as of last night, Denver International Airport's
website was still being attacked.
The websites were temporarily knocked offline.
There were no immediate signs of impact
to actual air travel.
That's right, people.
The Russians took out websites for some American airports.
And please, everyone calm down.
Calm down.
I know we all log onto laguardia.com see the latest
news about which terminal will be under construction
for the next 17 years.
But today, we will all have to discover
which area is under construction for ourselves.
Stay calm.
Just stay calm.
This is a major story, people.
And for more on this, we go live to our own Desi Lydic,
who is at LaGuardia right now.
Desi Lydic, everybody.
Desi, what is the situation over there right now?
Well, Trevor, as someone who's
been a huge fan of LaGuardia's website
ever since I found out it existed at 10:45 this morning,
let me tell you, it is chaos.
Trash bins are overflowing.
People are sleeping half naked on the carpet.
Oh no, Desi.
That's because of the website being down?
No, no, this is always LaGuardia, Trevor.
But somehow it seems worse right now.
You're TSA pre-check.
You don't know what it's like.
Let me tell you how bad this is.
All the ladies rooms were closed
for cleaning, all of them.
I was forced to pee in one of those breastfeeding pods.
Wow, I didn't the breastfeeding pods
have toilets?
No, no they don't, Trevor.
And the babies were super judgy about it.
So, Desi, do you think this is all going down because
of the website being attacked?
Well, clearly, something's going on here.
There are three Sunglass Huts next to each other.
And I just walked past a bathing suit store.
What kind of psychopath buys a bathing suit at the airport?
Did you not know where you were going?
Anyway, the good news is, I found the Cinnabon.
Wait, that's-- Oh, that's.
OK, well, Desi, did you learn anything valuable that you can
report to our viewers at home?
Oh, my god.
Yeah.
(MUFFLED) Do not come to LaGuardia
unless you absolutely need to.
I'm sorry.
Desi, there was Cinnabon in your mouth.
What did you say? - Yeah, yeah.
Hold on. I'm sorry.
TREVOR NOAH: Yeah, we can't hear what you're saying, Desi.
Hold on.
I'm going to get something to drink.
TREVOR NOAH: Yeah.
Just a second. Hang on.
TREVOR NOAH: That's a--
gah!
Mm, surprisingly good.
Anyway, please do not come to LaGuardia
unless you absolutely need to.
Yeah well, why would anyone go to LaGuardia
if they don't need to?
I don't know.
For a Cinnabon?
Powerful reporting.
Desi Lydic, everybody.
