Bill Maher CALLS OUT Hakeem Jeffries after he said Stephen Miller’s presence in government should be “eradicated like a malignant tumor.” “Way to take a victory graciously.” “Way to cool the temperature down right after that.” Ali Vitali responds that Democrats face a base that wants “fight and accountability.”

Bill Maher calls Democratic special-interest groups “the biggest Karens in the world” and wants candidates who stand up to them. He cites Josh Turek’s opposition to males in women’s sports and taxpayer-funded sex changes, then rejects the left’s Gaza litmus test.

“You have a mandate for something, for sure, but it’s not for political prosecutions.” Coleman Hughes warns Democrats on Bill Maher’s show to remember how Trump’s indictments helped him rally Republican voters. Maher acknowledges Trump’s border accomplishment before Hughes makes his case.

Coleman Hughes warns Democrats not to turn an election win into a mandate for the DSA on Bill Maher’s show. He points to Abdul El-Sayed doing worse than moderate Democrats in Michigan. “So the real lesson for Democrats is Americans prefer moderate Democrats.” Maher notes El-Sayed says he is not a democratic socialist, despite the DSA endorsement, then identifies his main issue: Israel.

“It doesn’t work when one side of the table doesn’t want peace.” Bill Maher pushes back on Peter Berg’s appeal for diplomacy. “And that’s when you call in the Marines.” Berg agrees the military is necessary, but argues against using it when it does not have to be used.

California is the warning, not the selling point. Coleman Hughes tells Bill Maher why Gavin Newsom’s record is “really tough to stand by.” Ask a Republican what they don’t want happening to their city, Hughes says, and the answer is San Francisco. Maher on the city’s shift from far-left governance: “Let’s arrest criminals.”

“THE CHALKBOARD MAFIA.” Coleman Hughes and Bill Maher take on teachers unions protecting failure instead of students. Hughes says the Brooklyn school they’re discussing spent $50,000 per pupil: “The problem isn’t the funding, it’s that you can’t fire anyone bad.” Maher to MS NOW’s Ali Vitali: “I think this is the kind of thing I will never hear on MS Now.” Her response, and Hughes’s case for rewarding good teachers, follow.

Bill Maher on the far left’s socialist pitch: “They want the government to take over everything. That is a prescription for failure.” Coleman Hughes: “We got a hundred years of data on socialism. It’s not good for the economy.”

Democrats won Congress. Trump’s response? Stephen Miller as chief of staff. If they were expecting him to retreat from America First, this is an interesting way to disappoint them. @sirajahashmi breaks down the move. 🍿

Democrat Rep. Don Beyer on Stephen Miller becoming White House chief of staff: “It means I’m going to go cry for the next half hour.”

On Tuesday, voters sent a significant signal to Washington and the GOP. @AFPhq's @KR_Bledsoe joined @hughhewitt in the immediate aftermath of the GOP's sweeping losses in the 2026 Midterms to discuss why Election Day didn't go Republicans' way. Voters are not happy with the status quo when it comes to the cost of living – the number one issue this entire midterm cycle. Bledsoe also lays out what Republicans and the administration should do next, and why voters need to hold Democrats accountable if they keep embracing big-government socialism over free markets and refuse to focus on the issues that matter.

ONLY TRUMP: @LarryOConnor DELIGHTS in the trouble Trump’s “not a bad guy” praise could cause for Chuck Schumer’s leadership bid: “You talk about 4D chess. That’s that’s the knife in the back right there.” “And Chuck Schumer getting screwed by the Frankenstein monster he created. Well, yeah, you know, that’s a good start.”

🔥 @LarryOConnor MOCKS Stephanie Ruhle for reassuring viewers about tech growth while calling industry leaders “oligarchs”: “They’re hostile to them and they hate them for one reason and one reason only. Because they were working with the Trump administration and growing businesses and actually growing the economy, and a growing economy is awful for Democrats when they’re out of power.”

Some gratitude: @LarryOConnor CALLS OUT Abdul El-Sayed for backing Chris Van Hollen over Chuck Schumer: “Yeah, he’s okay with Schumer’s money. He got $30 million from Schumer so that he can continue his campaign. And now he’s like, Yeah, I don’t support him.” “It’s almost like Abdul El-Sayed is a lying, untrustworthy snake with no loyalty, and will turn on you and will tell you everything that you need to hear from him, but really he’ll just end up stabbing you in the back or slitting your throat because it serves really what he truly believes in.”

DESPICABLE: @LarryOConnor RIPS Jonah Goldberg for ridiculing Turning Point USA’s youth turnout efforts a year after Charlie Kirk’s murder: “We’re not arguing with you on the data, you prig.” “That’s just despicable. And he’s supposedly on our side, whatever our side even means anymore.”
