Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) was stumped cold when comedian Jon Stewart pressed him on where he draws the line for political support.

Fetterman appeared on Stewart's podcast, "The Weekly Show," for an interview that hasn't been released yet, but in a clip previewing the episode, Stewart repeatedly asked Fetterman to explain why he has increasingly embraced MAGA-friendly positions while feuding with his own party over issues like opposition to Israel.

"For you, you could agree with them 90 percent of the time, but Israel is the red line," Stewart said, seeking clarification from Fetterman on where he draws the line for his support. ...

Donald Trump's words have come back to haunt him as Jon Stewart ripped into the president for a claim he made last year.

The president bragged about Iran's nuclear capabilities being "totally obliterated" in June 2025 — but it seems the threat is still very real, Stewart said Monday. Steve Witkoff, the United States' Special Envoy to the Middle East, is now claiming Iran is just a week away from having "bomb-making capabilities," despite the strikes.

The talk show host grilled the president's team on these claims, questioning whether the public should believe what the administration claims about Iran. Stewart said, "I remember Trump saying we 'totally obliterated their nuclear program,' yelling at people who questioned it....

Jon Stewart has ripped into Donald Trump's administration and MAGA faithful for their comments on a recent protest against ICE agents.

Pretti was shot and killed during a protest in Minneapolis just weeks after Renee Good, 37, was shot three times by an ICE agent. Stewart has since pounced on the president and his administration for their rhetoric around the shooting of Pretti.

The Trump admin has claimed Pretti carried a handgun and resisted attempts to be disarmed at the time of his death. Eyewitnesses, officials, and Pretti's family have all denied this claim, with videos of the shooting showing no evidence to support claims made by US Border Patrol head Greg Bovino....

Jon Stewart has mocked Donald Trump for a press conference slip up and has warned the administration are making a "tough bet" on the country.

The president was seen earlier this week wandering off in the middle of a press conference to admire the ongoing renovations of the White House ballroom. Trump, who had been seated between Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, would make a handful of errors in the speech. Not only did he wander off to admire the building project but he read aloud a note from Rubio which was intended to be a private comment.

The Daily Show host tied in this blunder with commentary on the Minneapolis ICE shooting, which left Renee Nicole Good dead after she was shot by an agent....

Jon Stewart has blasted Donald Trump's administration for what he called an "oil heist" on Venezuela.
