Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Daily Show. We are back, baby. My name is John Stewart. Welcome back. Merry Christmas.

Happy Hanukkah. Good Yom. Whatever it is, we got a show for you tonight. Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona will be joining
us. Man, just today, just today, the senator had his rank stripped and his retirement pay docked by the Secretary of Defense slash War Pete Hexeth slash Homelander. The senator will be joining us, and I will ask him if he knows we do not pay our guests. But let's get right to the big story. Ladies and gentlemen, this weekend, President Trump and an elite team of Delta Force special operators removed a dangerous foreign dictator from power. Not that one. They're actually friends. And quite frankly, I think business partners. Nope, no, not that easy. They're also quite close. That's not okay. I believe these two have more of a heated rivalry vibe. If you know what I mean, so it's not that one. No, that's That one, no, that wasn't us.
No, I'm talking about the now former president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, who was reverse iced and imported. He was actually imported to a jail in Brooklyn. But don't feel bad for him. He was a feared and cruel dictator. Don't worry. Be happy. Bobby McFerrin karaoke? You monster. Look, I know that clip makes him seem benign, almost kind of comical. But the truth is, Maduro oversaw a repressive regime that impoverished his nation, silenced dissent, and killed thousands. La. But his iron rule and acapella terror came to an end on Friday night when US Special Forces raided Caracas, Venezuela's only city as far as we know, and snatched Nicolas Maduro out of his bedroom, apparently before he could even take off his sleep mask.
His aura ring must have been like, you had a bad night. You did not get good deep sleep. And as it unfolded, Donald Trump was overseeing it all from a secure location, the Situation Tent at Mar-a-Lago. I don't want to be a dick or a nitpicker, but is this the most secure location? In Mar-a-Lago, behind the curtain, you throw up in front of the catering kitchen?
