Stephen Miller's arrival as White House chief of staff gives Bill O'Reilly a different way to read the pressure on Pete Hegseth: he argues that demands for the defense secretary's removal will make the administration less willing to budge, not more.
In "Stephen Miller & Pete Hegseth | November 9, 2026," O'Reilly describes Susie Wiles's replacement as someone suited to political confrontation. "Miller is confrontational. Miller will go after the people that go after President Trump," he says.
The edition drew an estimated 237,000 views in its first day, nearly six times the channel's usual opening audience for regular videos.
John Solomon, CEO and editor-in-chief of Just the News, joins the discussion with a similar assessment: the White House will need a more combative approach during Trump's remaining time in office. Their conversation turns to how House Democrats under Hakeem Jeffries might use their power, including the push to impeach Hegseth. O'Reilly's argument is that Trump and Miller will resist appearing to yield to that pressure.
Before Solomon arrives, the program takes a more personal turn through Trump's 60 Minutes interview with Ross Douthat. A question about forgiving political enemies prompts Trump to say he cannot forgive some of them. O'Reilly pauses over that answer to discuss forgiveness and repentance, before returning to the practical politics of the post-election White House.
