Paris Protests Erupt Over High Fuel Costs & Trump Cuts Diesel Deal with Russia | The Daily Show
Paris is burning, Trump is back to kissing Putin’s ass, and there’s a new war to blame for bank-breaking gas prices. Jon Stewart examines the headlines, including the protests that literally set Paris on fire while President Macron enjoyed a Celine Dion concert. Plus, American allegiances in the Russia-Ukraine war are called into question as Trump signs a diesel deal worth billions with Putin, and Jon gets some key players on the phone to work out why Ukraine is having trouble accessing Elon Musk’s Starlink cell service. #DailyShow #Paris #Russia #Starlink

I love John but the truth is when you bring in so many immigrants so quickly housing goes way up, hospitals and schools are stressed. It has made things worse for young people.

The story with Ukraine would be funny if it wouldn't be so sad. Those actions which Mr. Pumpkin takes are literally killing people. Every day.

The French have more fortitude than…well…us. We’re too busy following Taylor and Travis, tik-tocking and protesting to “encourage” people to vote. Fuking sad.

Nowhere in this video was mentioned Zelensky's attack on Russian energy immediately after Trump's announcement, or Zelensky's open refusal to abide by the terms (which admittedly the US had no authority to impose on either party). Jon Stewart went from brilliantly destroying US war propaganda in 2003 to promoting it in 2026. Genuinely sad to see.

At minute 20:46, that waver on Russian diesel and the upcoming midterms might tend to explain why the G might have been taken out of The Graham Act. Add it up.

The couple smoking a cigarette while fires burn and rioting continues actually explains America 😂

Those scenes were not only from Paris but from several other cities, e.g. the falling tower was from Limoges.

The riots in France are due to looters, taking advantage of protests against deeper issues than high oil prices. The tittle is misleading.

While I absolutely love Jon and he's right about many things, not admitting that France has a huge immigration issue, particularly Africans and North African arabs, is pretty sad.

French person here. I don't think any sane french person thinks the riots are because of immigrants. People are just mad. Both the peaceful protestors and the non peaceful protestors (we call them "casseurs", breakers) are generally french and the minority who aren't genetically are obviously very well assimilated.

As a European, I want you to understand that these youth protests in Europe are about education, welfare, warfare and fear for the future due to AI. Young people do not want billions of euro to go to warfare. And they are not violent, they want peace and global community. It is the Trump administration first term (Brexit) and second term that tries to paint the picture that it’s the immigrants and the leftists we need to be afraid of — don’t you get it, it is the US gov aim to brake Europe apart!! The current violent riots are infiltrated by paid aggressors. They need Trump to come back third term in order to finish their business. Which is controlling the world (with AI) by hands of a few oligarchs.

There was a person in the background in that bomb shot. No word on if they were ok?
The news interview later had a "can't believe that" face and was about to talk. Don't get to hear what she said? 🙁
Unanswered questions.

LOL. Putting up a congenital liar in Zelensky to prove that a congenital liar Trump is lying. 🤣🤣
Truly a farce

The protests are more about educational budgets and provision. The violence is because of (1) done looters and opportunists running amuck & (2) the French police cracking down in quasi-military occupation style.

Yout critique of your government is welcome and useful most of the time, you're also easily the funniest and sharpest of all the late night show hosts; I truly appreciate you.
Very sorry to catch you on a blatant lie this time around.
Look at the videos your team filtered out, the ones where there is violence, looting, destruction of property. Who do you see on that videos? Who is it, really? Are those native, white, french men and women?
Even the picture that you showed with the massive fire with 3 men in front – that was 3 black muslim migrants, with deep hatred towards our European culture.
Be honest. It wasn't a "student protest".
Cheers from Poland – thankfully, we're not deluded. To all the French – it's not too late, protect your legacy. Your culture was a dominant force for hundreds of years all across europe, a true inspiration. Live up to it.
It all starts in the truth.
