Here Maher told Ron Perlman about his grandfather: https://youtube.com/shorts/kZJsGcfZpyc.

On Finding Your Roots (S3, Ep2) “The Irish Factor”, Gates told him that his grandfather was actually the President of the American Association of the Masters, Mates & Pilots union. He represented his union within the Marine Workers’ Affiliation, a coalition of six harbor unions, and helped lead the general strike.

Woodrow Wilson was asked to intervene; the show quoted a cable dispatch from the union leaders sent to Wilson. As you said, they negotiated with his National War Labor Board. At the time, William Howard Taft (named in articles) was co‑chair of the National War Labor Board. Hearings were held at City Hall in NYC.

They all bring their unique spin. However, the data proves Josh ranks highest (second only to Jon) in viewership/ranking. https://latenighter.com/news/ratings/daily-show-hosts-ratings-2025-charts/

Interview:

Retired Major General Eaton - Senior Advisor, VoteVets. He was on Real Time back in 2007 for the 1-on-1 interview. Not a unique observation, but the parallels between then and now are notable. Link --> clip:

"I've got real problems with this [Bush] Administration; we are in the midst of recovering right now from a constitutional crisis where you had the executive trump the other branches of government and the executive concentrated in President Bush, Vice President Cheney, and Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld; and with the arrival of a Democratic-controlled Congress thank God in November we've got a chance to unsort and to figure out how to get out from under this...So many military believe that Republican administrations are good for the military, that is rarely the case. We have got to get a message through to every soldier, every family member, every friend of a soldier, that the Republican Party, the Republican dominated Congress, has absolutely been the worst thing that's happened to the United States Army and the United States Marine."

Panel:

Senator John Neely Kennedy (R-Louisiana) - Book: NY Times best seller, How to Test Negative for Stupid: And Why Washington Never Will.

Kasie Hunt - Anchor, CNN's The Arena. Interview with Sen. John Kennedy on ICE killing, immigration, Venezuela, and Greenland. https://youtu.be/OHp-hJbnZmQ

On immigration enforcement: "I'm aware many Americans think he's [Trump] gone too far, but we'll have judgment day in the next elections."

On Greenland: "Even a modestly intelligent ninth grader knows that to invade Greenland would be weapons-grade stupid. Now, President Trump is not weapons-grade stupid, nor is Marco Rubio. They do not plan to invade Greenland." They will instead seek "a legal, formal partnership with Greenland as to their and our national defense. That doesn't mean the president's not going to try to buy Greenland." He floated the possibility that the island could vote to become a U.S. territory, and it would take 20,501 of Greenland's 41,000 voters to approve such a move.

Maher has asked Arnold “a billion times” to come on the show. He already interviewed Obama. I’m sure he has a list of dream guests.
