Jon Stewart’s 2026 Comeback: The '30-Year Disaster' Looming Over Venezuela
Jon Stewart returns to The Daily Show to critique the U.S. intervention in Venezuela, exposing the oil-driven motives and predicting long-term blowback.
The holiday break is over, and Jon Stewart hasn't wasted a second. Returning to The Daily Show, he immediately tackled the explosive headlines regarding the U.S. intervention in Venezuela and the abduction of Nicolás Maduro. In a biting opening segment, Stewart didn't just report the news; he predicted its catastrophic legacy.
Jon Stewart Daily Show Venezuela Commentary 2026: A Cycle of Regret
Stewart’s take on the operation is grimly historical. He predicts that while the U.S. might feel a surge of triumph for a few weeks, the long-term consequences will follow a familiar pattern. According to Stewart, in 30 years, a leftist revolution will rise in Venezuela, fueled by this very moment, leading to a future diplomatic nightmare that will haunt a future presidency.
The comedian also exposed the glaring contradiction in the MAGA platform. He reminded viewers that Donald Trump originally won over his base by promising to stop being the "world's policeman." Stewart then aired a montage of Trump doing the exact opposite—discussing rebuilding infrastructure and essentially running the country after the regime change.
The Oil Factor: Moving Past Conspiracy Theories
What's the real motive behind the attack? For Stewart, it's not a mystery. He played clips of Trump explicitly stating his interest in Venezuela's oil. "We can't even be conspiracy theorists now!" Stewart joked, highlighting how the administration is being unusually transparent about its resource-driven objectives.
