Trump promised to fight for ordinary Americans. But Jon Stewart is asking whether the biggest winners have been the billionaires and powerful interests around him.
Stewart points to Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, crypto ventures, government contracts, and lucrative business deals as he questions who has truly benefited.
His argument is that voters were promised a government that puts them first, but the people gaining the most may be those who already have wealth and influence.
The question is simple: When politicians say they’re fighting for the people, how do we know who they really mean?
“TAKE BACK THAT SENTENCE”: ABDUL EL-SAYED CLASHES WITH BRET BAIER OVER HIS MRI COMMENT
Bret Baier: If a family needs MRIs under a government-run plan, and you responded, “Well, sucks for them.”
Abdul El-Sayed: No, I did not respond “sucks for them.”
Bret Baier: Well, that’s the quote.
Abdul El-Sayed: People will tell me, “Well, Abdul, you know, at the end of the day, I have a friend whose cousin, who used to own a goldfish, their former owner, that person had to wait a long line for an MRI.”
And I say, “Well, that sucks for them, but also that person has never had to worry about medical debt.”
Bret Baier: I’ll also tell you this—hey, take back that sentence about waiting for MRIs.
Abdul El-Sayed: Of course, one never wants it to suck for anybody. That’s entirely the point. Right now, it sucks for all of us because we live in an economy where we are held hostage to big corporations.
It sucks for the people who have to pay $4,500 in a deductible and go into medical debt. It sucks when you have to wait two and a half months to see a cardiologist.
All that sucks. I’m trying to solve that problem.
Out of context or not, do you want to take that back?
Abdul El-Sayed: No, no, I don’t. It’s your word. I’d like to understand the whole quote. But also, also, it shouldn’t suck for anybody. Which is why—which is why, Brett, we need Medicare for All.

Wife: “I made an account.”
Husband: “Her little friend talked her into making an account. I didn’t find any, there was nothing posted on there, but I found the account.”
“I told her, we’re not fucking doing this. I’m not married to someone who’s selling their body.”
Caleb Hammer: “Yeah, you are.”
He said he’d figured out his wife’s email and password, logged in, and tried to delete the account before hitting a paywall.
Caleb Hammer: “You were searching for her?”
Husband: “No, I found her account.”
Wife: “He was searching for me.”
Mehdi Hasan Presses Avi Melamed on Warnings Before October 7 — Even Hillary Clinton and Charlie Kirk Raised Questions
Mehdi Hasan: Avi, some of Israel’s most prominent supporters in the US have raised questions about what Netanyahu knew before October 7. Let’s hear what Hillary Clinton and Charlie Kirk said.
Hillary Clinton: Netanyahu had been warned by leaders from the UAE that Hamas was planning something. Either he didn’t believe it, or and it’s horrible to say he wanted to see what they would do so he could come down hard on them.
Charlie Kirk: Was there a stand-down order? Six hours? Israel is the size of New Jersey. People were live-streaming the killing of Jews. Did somebody in the government say, “Stand down”?
Mehdi Hasan: Those are two prominent supporters of Israel, one Democrat and one Republican, questioning whether the Israeli government potentially let this happen.
Given Netanyahu’s failure to hold an independent inquiry into October 7, can you blame people for being suspicious?
Avi Melamed: There are two parts to this: the questions that need to be asked and the speculation. I’m interested in asking questions and finding solid answers, not speculating.
Mehdi Hasan: You understand why people are asking questions, though.
Netanyahu has a history of lying, he’s refused an independent investigation, and we’re hearing about warnings from the UAE and Egypt, as well as a battle plan. You can understand why people find this suspicious. I’m not saying it proves anything, but people are asking questions.
Avi Melamed: Definitely. They are.
Jimmy Kimmel mocks Trump’s rambling speeches and his desperate attempts to save republicans in Texas

J. Cole explains how Mark Pitts protected him from the dark side of the music industry.
Host: “ You know, Cole, I’ve heard you in the past describe people in your life as… uh… vessels. God talking to you. And in what ways does Mark specifically feel like… like that void or… that voice rather… like…”
J. Cole: “ Man, he was like… he was protection, guidance, like a steward. You know what I mean? Like… like a… like a blocker. Like in football, like the fullback for the running back. You know what I mean? He was like the… I’mma get there before you. I’mma clear things out, and then it’s almost like the fullback could turn around and be like, ‘Go right, or hit this hole right here.’ It’s like he was helping me as much as he could to get out of my own way and to allow the world to like give me space to even find out who I was.”
Jennifer Lawrence tells Alex Cooper the one thing nobody warned her about after childbirth
Alex Cooper: “How did you know you were ready? And did you feel ready?”
Jennifer Lawrence: “I wanted to be a mom for so long, and, you know, didn't find the right person, and then I found the right person.”
Alex Cooper: “What were you completely unprepared for?”
Jennifer Lawrence: “You know, your vagina will bounce back, your butthole won't.”
Alex Cooper: “I don't know if I needed to hear that before giving birth! I'm like, ‘wow, wow, Jen.’”
Jennifer Lawrence: “Everybody's like, ‘your instincts, your instincts!’ you have no idea what you're doing.”
Alex Cooper: “Jen, what's going to happen to my butthole?”
Jennifer Lawrence: “I'll tell you, i will tell you, when i can get into a heated place. I'll show you.”
Jesse Watters GRILLS Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed on Trans Athletes — Then Hits Him With a Question About His Daughters
Jesse Watters: Do you support sex changes for minors?
Abdul El-Sayed: I just think the government shouldn’t make those decisions for you.
Jesse Watters: So, Abdul, you’re a doctor, right?
Abdul El-Sayed: I am.
Jesse Watters: So you think it’s okay for a parent to cut off their child’s genitals? Are you circumcised?
Abdul El-Sayed: Yeah, but that’s a personal question. Is circumcision different from castration?
Jesse Watters: I think you’re being selective about how you talk about these things.
Now, should men play in women’s sports as the next U.S. senator from Michigan?
Abdul El-Sayed: I’m interested in getting money out of politics, putting money in your pocket, and passing Medicare for All.
Jesse Watters: You’re filibustering, Abdul, because you don’t care about what sports kids play. It’s a big issue, and I want to talk about the issues your viewers deserve to hear about.
Should men play women’s sports? You have daughters, right?
Abdul El-Sayed: I played sports my whole life. Sports were an important part of my life, and I’m grateful for the opportunity.
At the end of the day, the decision about who gets to play which sports ought to be made by the people who govern sports.
I’m running for the U.S. Senate, Jesse. I’m trying to take on the healthcare crisis and Big Pharma, and you’re asking me who gets to play which sports? It’s silly. People can’t seriously say this is the most important issue.
Jesse Watters: It’s kind of a big thing.

HAILEY BIEBER SOLD HER BILLION-DOLLAR COMPANY WHILE BECOMING A FIRST-TIME MOM. SHE ADMITS THE PRESSURE ALMOST STRETCHED HER BEYOND HER LIMITS.
Hailey says 2025 brought major changes as she navigated her first full year of motherhood while going through the intense process of selling her company, Rhode.
She describes becoming a mother as the biggest identity shift she has ever experienced, admitting that going through both life-changing moments at once left her feeling stretched in many ways.

Alex Cooper: “What is the most brutal piece of acting feedback you’ve ever gotten in your career?”
Jennifer Lawrence: “My mom, at the premiere of The Hunger Games, said she could tell in every scene when I had my period. Water retention, I guess.”
“Imagine a day of me being on camera that that doesn’t go through my mind.”
Alex Cooper: “You now will never film when you’re on your period. You’re like, ‘I’m so scarred. Don’t put me on camera.’”

“She’s also, like, the most supportive and the person I’m so excited to tell exciting news to.”
“I don’t know if all moms do this, where you’re like, ‘Guess what?’ and they just say the craziest thing. Like, it will never live up to it.”

“I’m like, ‘No, but…’”
Alex Cooper: “But I love that you love me.”

Jennifer Lawrence reveals she received some of the nastiest backlash of her life for saying she was Team Jeremiah in The Summer I Turned Pretty.
Alex Cooper: “Were you Team Peeta or were you Team Gale?”
Jennifer Lawrence: “I was Team Gale. Even after he killed my sister.”
Alex Cooper: “Still rooting for him?”
Jennifer Lawrence: “Yeah.”
Alex Cooper: “Do you think that will cause controversy on the internet?”
Jennifer Lawrence: “I can’t say, because I said that I was Team Jeremiah during The Summer I Turned Pretty, and the level of hate that I got was bigger than any controversy I’ve ever been involved in in my life.”
Alex Cooper: “Talk to me about that.”
Jennifer Lawrence: “I feel like I was just rage-baiting slightly, because I did it with my friends. It was just like, ‘I like Jeremiah,’ and they’d be like, ‘Ah!’ I thought it was innocent.”
“People were like, ‘You should die. You should die.’”
Alex Cooper: “It is wild to insert yourself in that, especially who you are.”
Jennifer Lawrence: “Oh, so you agree with them?”
Alex Cooper: “No! I’m just shocked that you just sling it out there like, ‘Oh, I’m just going to tell you what I think.’”
Jennifer Lawrence: “How on earth would I have assumed that such a thing would cause such a reaction? I’ve pissed off the public many, many times. I’ve been famous for decades. It never occurred to me that that would be the number one where people were just like, ‘I wish you had never been born.’”
