Stephen Colbert is again together with his first monologue of 2026, and like many of the different late evening hosts, his focus is on Donald Trump’s U.S. assault on Venezuela and the abduction of President Nicolás Maduro.
“Are you aware what this implies? These Epstein recordsdata have to be loopy,” the host says, pretending to flick by means of some papers earlier than slipping right into a Trump impression. “Bomb one thing! Bomb something!“
Colbert goes on to interrupt down precisely what occurred and the aftermath, together with footage of Trump talking about U.S. plans to “run” Venezuela.
“Evidently when he says America first, he means alphabetically,” says Colbert. “That is loopy, he cannot run two nations without delay! He cannot even run.”
To complete, Colbert takes a extra severe tack.
“Invading a rustic with a moustachioed dictator and saying, ‘Don’t fret, their oil pays for this battle,’ is type of the place I obtained on this prepare 20+ years in the past,” he says. “It did not work then, and I doubt it is gonna work now. And I hope that the American folks do not fall for this a second time.”
