“The View” is thumbing its nose at the Federal Communications Commission amid the ongoing review of the show’s “bona fide news program” status. Sparked by the show’s inclusion of candidates as guests, the FCC is paying particular attention to how “The View” aims to influence elections, including<a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicholas-fondacaro/2026/05/18/view-demands-votes-democrats-if-americans-want-end"> blatant efforts to electioneer</a> by explicitly telling people to “vote Democrats” into office. They kicked off Season 30 with more lies aimed at scaring people to the polls to vote against Republicans, while also lying about what the wave of Democratic Socialist nominees actually stood for.
In their very first episode of the season, moderator Whoopi Goldberg proclaimed that if Americans didn’t vote to “change” who was in power in the midterms, then everyone in the country would<a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicholas-fondacaro/2026/09/08/view-vote-democratic-midterms-or-everyone-will-literally-die"> “literally” die</a> as a result:
<blockquote>
This is what we can tell you: If you want to see change, you got to make the change. It doesn&#8217;t matter your color. It doesn&#8217;t matter if you&#8217;re a Democrat or Republican, if you want change, you got to get out there and make it happen. And you got to find every way that you can to vote.
(…)
Find out where you can vote and help your elders get to the places to vote. Help everybody you can to get out this vote because our lives literally depend on this.
</blockquote>
As an extra incentive to vote for Democrats, Sunny Hostin suggested that losing control of Congress would give President Trump’s Cabinet the opening to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove him from office:
<blockquote>
But think about if the Republicans — I think when the Republicans lose the House, and they lose the Senate, they&#8217;re going to want to have some control over this person, this person that is in the office, and J.D. Vance would then be that replacement. And I wonder if the Cabinet then looks at each other and says, “Okay, we&#8217;ve got to take control of this, 25th Amendment.”
</blockquote>
Trying to scare Americans into voting against Republicans wasn’t enough. They also had to make sure they weren’t afraid to vote for the slate of Democratic Socialist extremists put up by their party. To that end, that was <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicholas-fondacaro/2026/09/10/view-hates-fettermans-gop-message-claims-dsa-only-about">Hostin and Goldberg’s effort</a> later in the week.
Following Senator John Fetterman’s (D-PA) message at the Republican midterm convention to stand against the far-Left of his party, Hostin was offended that he would “try to use the word &#8216;socialism&#8217; as a boogieman. He&#8217;s playing right into Republican hands.” “Communists. They call liberals communists,” Joy Behar clutched her pearls.
When token “Republican” Alyssa Farah Griffin pointed out that their party had just nominated a slew of socialists, Hostin claimed they weren’t real socialists, and Goldberg insisted they were only concerned about “Social Security”:
<blockquote>
FARAH GRIFFIN: You guys did just nominate socialists in a number of states for the House.
HOSTIN: Democratic socialism is very different than —
[Crosstalk]
HOSTIN: It&#8217;s very different than communism.
GOLDBERG: Social Security! Social Security!
</blockquote>
“The View” has been very open about admitting that the show is meant to be a vector to help the Democratic Party. They’re trying to do what they can ahead of Election Day, defying the FCC and ignoring that it violates ABC’s broadcast license. ABC is fully supporting it.

Pack your bags and hide the daytime Emmys: Rosie O’Donnell has officially announced her plan to torment daytime television once again with an upcoming appearance on Season 30 of &#8220;The View.&#8221;
Apparently, <a href="https://abcnews.com/GMA/Culture/rosie-odonnell-reveals-moved-us/story?id=119707526">moving across the Atlantic</a> wasn&#8217;t enough to keep the 64-year-old off our screens. Speaking on Monday’s &#8220;The Tangle With Kyle Ridley&#8221; podcast, the professional grumper <a href="https://pagesix.com/2026/08/03/entertainment/rosie-odonnell-confirms-season-30-return-to-the-view/?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_campaign=nypost">confirmed</a> she’ll be dropping in for the show&#8217;s milestone anniversary bash. But don&#8217;t panic just yet; she claims she’ll strictly be showing up &#8220;just as a guest&#8221; to take part &#8220;in whatever way they want.&#8221;
&#8220;They’re bringing back all the hosts, I think,&#8221; O’Donnell declared, puffing her chest out over a show she routinely trashes every chance she gets.
Naturally, Rosie couldn&#8217;t resist doing what she does best: airing dirty laundry and blaming everyone else for her own past televised meltdowns. Reflecting on her chaotic stints during Seasons 10 and 18, she took a swing at Whoopi Goldberg, lamenting that they weren&#8217;t the &#8220;Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen&#8221; dream team she expected. Instead, Rosie speculated that the 70-year-old Goldberg must have felt &#8220;encroached upon&#8221; by her presence.
She also dragged the show’s backstage atmosphere, calling it a talent-churning &#8220;factory&#8221; run by men. This came despite <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/not-something-id-ever-do-again-rosie-odonnell-doesnt-talk-fondly-of-her-time-on-the-view">previously swearing</a> on Brooke Shields’ podcast in 2023 that she would never step foot near the show again because defending &#8220;basic principles of humanity&#8221; was just too much work for her superior talents.
The big TV comeback announcement comes right on the heels of Rosie dramatically fleeing the United States altogether. Throwing the ultimate celebrity temper tantrum over Donald Trump&#8217;s presidential victory, the former talk show host packed her bags, grabbed her &#8220;non-binary&#8221; child Clay, and defected to Europe to chase down an Irish citizenship.
Rosie bragged on TikTok about sleeping so much better in her self-imposed exile, away from the &#8220;terrifying&#8221; politics of America. It&#8217;s just the latest chapter in her epic, two-decade-long obsession with Trump, which started way back in 2006 when she trashed him on live TV and he famously labeled her a &#8220;real loser.&#8221;
So while Ireland is stuck dealing with O&#8217;Donnell&#8217;s political doom-scrolling, American audiences will have to brace themselves when the ultimate daytime diva flies back to reclaim her moment in the spotlight.
Get the mute button ready.

“The View” is ending Season 29 with an uncertain future, with <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicholas-fondacaro/2026/06/23/mrc-leads-charge-strip-view-bona-fide-news-status">the FCC breathing down their necks</a> as their “bona fide news program” status was being scrutinized and ABC News reportedly <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicholas-fondacaro/2026/07/22/feeling-pressure-view-reportedly-slashing-budgets-denying">denying raises and slashing budgets</a> as advertisers looked elsewhere. Amid all of this, the liberal ladies stayed on message and cranked up the crazy in the closing week of the season with a torrent of lies crafted to scare their audience and drive them to the polls in utter terror in November.
Arguably one of the most outlandish things anyone on “The View” has ever uttered came from Joy Behar on Thursday. She was shouting about how we needed to “follow the money.” Supposedly, President Trump was being paid by Saudi Arabia to allow them to get nukes so they could drop one on Cleveland, Ohio.
It was truly wild stuff:
<blockquote>
Now, he&#8217;s making a deal with the Saudi Arabians that will allow them to produce a nuclear weapon. (&#8230;) The Saudis were behind 9/11 and — and — and — Are they [Congressional Republicans] waiting for him to drop a nuke on Cleveland?! What are they waiting for to do something?! Now I&#8217;m scared (&#8230;) And now we have a guy enabling that rogue nation, because — by the way, they&#8217;re going to give tens of billions of dollars. That&#8217;s what is behind this. Follow the money with this guy!
</blockquote>
No. The agreement with the Saudis was not to give them nukes or allow them to construct nukes. The agreement was for <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-saudi-arabia-nuclear-program-uranium-15fdb262bb9c83d0d959ca96b7561c12">enriching uranium for nuclear energy</a>. And claiming Trump was selling out America so another country could nuke us was downright dangerous and incendiary rhetoric that could spur another liberal nutcase to violence.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
ABC News&#8217;s Joy Behar claims Trump is going nuke Cleveland, Ohio and whines only then Republicans in Congress would act against him. She also claims Trump is selling nuclear bombs to terrorists and pocketing the money:
JOY BEHAR: The thing that I really can&#8217;t stand about him… <a href="https://t.co/G2UUR3ikrd">pic.twitter.com/G2UUR3ikrd</a>

<script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Also, why Cleveland? Do the Saudis or Trump have a particular hatred for the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame? Maybe they&#8217;re still upset over the end of “The Drew Carey Show.”
“The View” also repeated the refrain they’ve been singing all year, that Trump was planning to steal the 2026 midterm elections.
“The question is: do you think he&#8217;s laying the groundwork to contest the election? Hell, yeah,” Whoopi Goldberg exclaimed. Behar added: “That speech was not about 2020. That speech was about 2026 and he is petrified that the Democrats are going to take over.”

<script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Additionally, Behar’s brain apparently deleted every <a href="https://www.advocate.com/print-issue/current-issue/2012/12/01/new-joy-behar">comment she</a> and <a href="https://newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicholas-fondacaro/2022/09/07/doing-her-part-view-defends-2016-election-denial-jean-pierre">her co-hosts</a> had made <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicholas-fondacaro/2026/06/08/cant-believe-sunny-hostin-justifies-skepticism-trump-2024">doubting</a> every Republican presidential victory since 2000, including 2024. According to her, no one had ever questioned the validity of an American election before Trump:
<blockquote>
BEHAR: You know, for the 10,000 years that I&#8217;ve been on this planet, this has never come up before! Have any &#8211; Does anyone remember?!
HOSTIN: Well, there&#8217;s no real evidence of election fraud. It&#8217;s like 0.0003 percent of election fraud. So, it just doesn’t exist. It&#8217;s a non-issue.
BEHAR: Basically.
HOSTIN: And you’re right, it&#8217;s not something that has ever come up before.
</blockquote>
Behar has also claimed <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicholas-fondacaro/2023/04/06/view-power-hungry-gop-only-win-elections-cheating">every Republican electoral victory</a> is suspect.
Finally, on Friday’s show, Hostin (<a href="https://x.com/NickFondacaro/status/2080677999733596489?s=20">who thought only 5 states required I.D</a>.) equated requiring I.D. to vote to having black people &#8220;count jelly beans in a jar&#8221; and &#8220;having to answer citizenship questions.&#8221; &#8220;I believe that in my soul,&#8221; she proclaimed.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
The View falsely claims the SAVE Act is about keeping everyone from voting and downplay the 400 illegal votes in New Jersey as not a big deal:

ABC’s “The View” – Season 25

‘The View’ Closes Season 29 With A Torrent Of Lies To Scare Their Audience

voter id

A journalist or newsperson knows better than to make absolute, broad, sweeping statements about something they didn’t know about or that was easily disprovable; they would hedge on the existence of an edge case that could embarrass them. But that wasn’t the case with Whoopi Goldberg of “The View,” the moderator for what ABC has claimed to the FCC is a “bona fide news program.” According to Goldberg this week, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool “never had algae before” President Trump’s renovations, and “nobody” wants voter ID laws.
Amid the liberal media’s obsession with the Reflecting Pool earlier in the week, “The View” took a big gulp from that watering hole. Goldberg’s hyperbole even got support from a gullible audience member:
<blockquote>
GOLDBERG: Look this. [Points to screen showing workers in the reflecting pool] I mean, they look like they are fishing in the reflecting pool. They&#8217;re trying to get – they&#8217;re trying to get the algae out. This thing never had algae before!
AUDIENCE MEMBER: No!
</blockquote>
Obviously, that was patently false. Even the anti-Trump journalists at <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/the-reflecting-pool-is-about-to-be-drained-again-heres-what-to-know">PBS were able to admit</a> that algae are naturally occurring and Trump’s renovations didn’t play a role. We also know the National Park Service has used hydrogen peroxide to kill algae blooms since 2021, when they switched away from chlorine.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
ABC News moderator Whoopi Goldberg claims Trump was the one who vandalized the reflecting pool and that he&#8217;s going to go to prison for 10 years.

<script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Goldberg beclowned herself later in the week when proclaiming that no one wanted voter ID laws:
<blockquote>
It doesn&#8217;t have the votes. So, he&#8217;s trying to push to, and do all kinds of stuff. It just — It&#8217;s ridiculous. It&#8217;s — The bill that would force people to have I.D. when they come to vote, and nobody wants it.
</blockquote>
It’s impossible to make the claim “nobody” wants voter ID when poll after poll has shown over 80% bipartisan support for the measure. That’s more than what’s needed for a supermajority vote.
Despite supposedly being a “bona fide news program” under the ABC News umbrella, Goldberg was ignorant of the fact that even her own network gave credence to the fact that it was a popular policy.  “An August 2025 Pew Research Center study found that 83% of the more than 3,500 people surveyed are in favor of requiring voters to show government-issued photo ID at the polls,” <a href="https://abcnews.com/Politics/fact-check-trump-save-america-act-amid-push/story?id=130505183">ABC wrote about the Pew Research Center poll</a>.
That’s not to mention that a majority of states (36) already require voters to present ID.

Nothing about “The View” is a “bona fide news program.” <a href="https://x.com/NickFondacaro/status/1896964078590984451">Goldberg has been very vocal</a> about how their role is to push Democratic Party messaging and anti-Trump fearmongering to the daytime TV audience. She’s even gotten into arguments about it in defense of their work.
A “bona fide news program” is supposed to share facts and tell its audience the truth. As shown here, “The View” does neither. That’s why the <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicholas-fondacaro/2026/06/23/mrc-leads-charge-strip-view-bona-fide-news-status">Media Research Center is leading the charge</a> to strip “The View” of that status.
“While The View may once have qualified for an exemption, the evidence shows that it has for years operated for political purposes and is therefore not entitled to an exemption from the law. The MRC has the documentation to demonstrate that “The View” is a partisan political operation that advocates for Democrats and their party, against President Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans, and for the political priorities of the left,” MRC President David Bozell wrote in <a href="https://cdn.newsbusters.org/blog_attachment/THE%20VIEW%20Ex%20Parte.pdf-1781899751546.pdf">a public comment filing to the FCC</a>.
The MRC also provided the FCC with “2,473 separate pieces of evidence documenting The View’s pervasive bias and, at times, willful electioneering as exhibits to this comment.”
ABC couldn’t even get the facts right when trying to muster supporters to submit public comments. On June 22, they told viewers they had until July 6 to submit a comment. In actuality, public comment ended that day at the close of business. Only reply comments were allowed to be submitted by July 6.
Despite their own incompetence, ABC and “The View” will likely cry foul if the FCC ignores the comments filed after the deadline.

Step aside, Thomas Aquinas. Make room, St. Augustine. There is a new Bible scholar in town, and she didn’t find her calling in a cathedral — she found it in a Reno lounge act and a Disney-funded wardrobe department.
Whoopi Goldberg, a woman whose theological training apparently consists of wearing a polyester habit in two &#8220;Sister Act&#8221; films, has decided that she is the preeminent authority on the &#8220;Bible-Bible.&#8221; Speaking on &#8220;The View&#8221; on Thursday, Goldberg donned her invisible miter to lecture the masses on why the U.S. shouldn&#8217;t deal with Iran, wielding Scripture with the surgical precision of a blindfolded butcher.
Citing the Beatitudes and the command to &#8220;turn the other cheek,&#8221; Goldberg lamented that her own cheeks are &#8220;getting tired&#8221; from all the slapping.
It’s a touching sentiment, truly. One can almost hear the angels weeping — or perhaps that’s just the sound of anyone who has actually read Romans 13 hitting the floor in a dead faint.
Whoopi, ever the humble scholar, warned her audience that they only have a &#8220;half a quote&#8221; and need to &#8220;get into the Bible-Bible&#8221; to truly understand that being a &#8220;peacemaker&#8221; apparently means letting a theocratic regime develop ICBMs.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Despite Joy Behar&#39;s refusal to apologize for calling Jesus a &quot;narcissist&quot; for saying he was the Messiah, earlier in the week, Whoopi wants to lecture the faithful on the right about the Bible and war. She says you need to learn about &quot;The Bible-Bible&quot;:

It’s a bold move for a woman who <a href="https://church4everychild.org/2015/10/20/if-we-value-life-we-dont-get-to-choose-which-lives-we-value/#:~:text=During%20one%20such%20discussion%20on,be%20reading%20the%20same%20Bible.">previously informed</a> the world that &#8220;there’s nothing in the Book that says anything about abortion.&#8221; Apparently, in Whoopi’s version of the &#8220;Bible-Bible,&#8221; God’s intricate knitting together of an unborn child in the womb mentioned in Psalm 139 was just a suggestion, and the &#8220;sword&#8221; the state bears in Romans 13 is actually a pool noodle used for rhythmic gymnastics.
But Goldberg’s expertise doesn’t stop at foreign policy. She’s also been there to fix the Catholic Church’s administrative issues. When Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone dared to enforce Canon 915 by denying Communion to Nancy Pelosi, Whoopi was there to <a href="https://www.thewrap.com/the-view-whoopi-goldberg-nancy-pelosi-communion-video/">set him straight</a>: &#8220;This is not your job, dude!&#8221;
According to the Gospel of Goldberg, the Eucharist isn’t a sacrament requiring a state of grace; it’s a participation trophy for anyone with a &#8220;View&#8221; microphone.
She’s &#8220;schooling&#8221; us, folks. We just don&#8217;t understand the &#8220;Bible-Bible&#8221; like she does. After all, she played a nun twice.
That’s basically two-thirds of a Trinity.

I spent the day watching more of “The View” than I ever have before in my life.
Turns out, the insufferable hosts of this failing network show, on Disney-owned ABC, took it upon themselves to spend seven uninterrupted minutes on national television <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/daily-wire-host-fires-back-after-the-view-melts-down-over-her-support-for-young-families?author=Virginia+Kruta&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Daily+Wire+Host+Fires+Back+After+%E2%80%98The+View%E2%80%99+Melts+Down+Over+Her+Support+For+Young+Families">bashing me</a> by name, and anyone else with the audacity to promote marriage and parenthood to Gen Z.
I’ve been a content creator since 2019, covering some of the most contentious issues in the American culture war, and I’ve gotta be honest: I never thought this, my most wholesome, pro-America take, would be the thing I’d get attacked for.
Last week, I joined a panel of incredible women on stage at CPAC to discuss the importance of the American family, and was asked specifically to talk about what it’s going to take to save America. My answer was one <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/daily-wire-host-torches-the-view-over-claim-only-rich-women-can-afford-kids?author=Virginia+Kruta&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Daily+Wire+Host+Torches+%E2%80%98The+View%E2%80%99+Over+Claim+Only+Rich+Women+Can+Afford+Kids">I often repeat</a> in speeches or interviews, and reflects a simple timeless truth — we must renew the importance of the family as the cornerstone of society again to a generation that’s being lied to about it. Addressing a crowd older than myself, I said this:
<blockquote>If you’re not encouraging your children to grow up and have the courage to grow up to get married and have kids — more kids than they can afford, before they think they’re ready, it is high time to start.</blockquote>
Before long, Whoopi Goldberg &amp; company would be furious and virtually foaming at the mouth over the very idea that I promote marriage and motherhood to my generation, and dedicated an entire segment of everyone’s favorite “View-erless” show to launch an attack. 
The “anti-family” segment on &#8220;The View&#8221; opened with Whoopi predictably labeling me a racist – because, clearly, I must only want more white people to have children as a white woman myself. That’s obviously not true. 
But it’s a curious criticism coming from Whoopi Goldberg, an ardent supporter of the abortion industry, which grew in America specifically as a way to kill black babies in the womb at the hands of renowned and infamous eugenicist Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood.
In 2022, Black women made up about 40 % of all abortions reported in the U.S. – in New York City today, as Whoopi Goldberg runs her mouth on television from the heart of Manhattan, you are more likely to be aborted as a black baby than you are to be born… all in the name of racial progress and equity, right?
Let me be clear: the only racial component to any of this is the continued desire by the abortion industry to convince black women it’s more empowering to end the lives of their children than to give birth to them.
Moving through the panel, Sara Haines spent her time on air reminding viewers that having kids is a choice. That’s true. But what about my choice, and that of literally billions of other women around the world, to get married and have children? The very notion is seemingly unfathomable to the women on this miserable panel.
In other words, if you make the choice to “want” kids – it’s the wrong choice. You’re less of a woman. You aren’t a feminist. You don’t support equality. You deserve to be publicly SHAMED, which is exactly what they proceed to do to me.
Ironically, every woman but one around that table has children of their own. And every one of them is either in a long-term relationship or has been married. They somehow make it work as working moms. They have had the courage to commit their lives to someone they love. They get to snuggle their babies at the end of a long day of work — so, why isn’t it worth pursuing for you?
For the rest of the segment, all of the hosts collectively wasted air throwing out every anti-natalist argument to see what would stick.
They lied, saying having children is somehow beneath women, that we as a sex (amazing, how suddenly we can all define woman, right?) have come “too far” to still be sucked into the innate, natural, instinctual desire to have a beautiful baby and share your life with someone.
They lied, claiming childcare costs a whopping $400,000 a year, so must be financially inaccessible to anyone outside of the 1% of the 1%. For the record, it costs about $10,000-$15,000 on average a year… but I wouldn’t expect a woman screaming at me in an $800 jacket to know.
They lied, saying if you want a baby you must be in an abusive, oppressive marriage to an evil, misogynistic man–and someone ought to help you escape with a divorce attorney. To clarify: I love my husband, and no one is more supportive of my motherhood journey or my career.
They lied, saying that I must not understand how tough having kids are because I have a mere one-year-old, who “just sleeps all day.” News to me, after over a year of my life not sleeping all the way through the night.
They lied, saying that breastfeeding ruins your boobs. I know Whitney Cummings remains deeply concerned about my breasts – after 11 months of breastfeeding my daughter, they’re doing just fine.
They lied, of course, to claim we’re facing an overpopulation crisis, which is objectively the opposite of our current reality. In fact, over half of the world’s countries and areas now have fertility rates below the replacement level of 2.1 children per woman. These countries represent over two-thirds of the global population, and that number is expected to increase to over 90% by the end of this century.
By 2030, nearly 45% of American women aged 25-44 are projected to be single and childless.
It’s not hard to understand why – virtually every single influencer, television show, movie, college professor, woke pastor, politician, and mainstream media outlet today is dedicating massive air time to trying to convince you NOT to have kids.
Why? Because they want you miserable and lonely. They are intentionally seeking to brainwash you into what my friend &amp; fellow mom Allie Beth Stuckey calls “Toxic Empathy,” so you think you&#8217;re a better person and more compassionate for essentially hating children.
In fact, getting married and having kids is better for everyone in the long term. One study found that having kids increases your wealth by 23% throughout your life. Young married moms are three times happier than their unmarried, childless counterparts. Statistically, married, religious couples with children have the most satisfying intimate lives.
Most importantly, the joy and purpose we experience in sharing our lives with our children is unparalleled anywhere else in our often empty and meaningless society.
How dare we want that for the next generation, right?
I further find no coincidence that this segment aired this week at the start to Holy Week as we walk toward Christ’s Passion on the cross this Friday and His resurrection into heaven on Easter Sunday. The family is the most beautiful example we have of God’s perfect design for humanity. His love is exemplified for us as we lay down our lives for one another, humbling ourselves to serve our spouses and our children. The family, as a result, presents an unparalleled threat to the demonic forces of evil and darkness in our world.
St. John Paul II said during his tenure as Pope, “As the family goes, so goes the nation, and so goes the whole world in which we live,” and “The future of humanity passes by way of the family.”
&#8220;The View’s&#8221; attack on the family and those promoting it is just the latest example of spiritual warfare being waged against what is good and true and beautiful, and we must remain deeply committed to sharing the timeless truth of God even in today’s culture.
Mother Teresa once famously said, “If you want to change the world, go home and love your family.” These words have always been meaningful to me, but certainly have packed a huge gut punch this week as I reflect on the unexpected backlash to such a simple message I shared on stage last week.
It’s a call to action for all of us to ponder, and determine what course we will walk as we work to build our own American Dream as a generation among Gen Z.
The truth is, there’s no better advertisement for the joy of a God-centered marriage than the alternative being blast on full display from the set of &#8220;The View&#8221; – would you rather live among the misery, contempt, and judgment of these angry middle aged women, or pursue purpose and fulfillment in marriage and motherhood while you can?
So, thanks to the ladies of &#8220;The View&#8221; for giving me another opportunity to address this issue. In case it wasn’t clear, I stand by everything I said at CPAC. And in case you’re still unsure at this point, let me reiterate:
Have the courage to fall in love, get married, and make more babies.
It’s good for the world, and even better for you.

Whoopi Goldberg took a moment during Wednesday&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;The View&#8221; to lecture War Secretary Pete Hegseth about what it means to be a soldier, arguing that he &#8220;should know&#8221; what he was subjecting service members to when they deployed to the Middle East.
Goldberg and her cohosts insisted, as they have previously, that President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration launched Operation Epic Fury and unleashed American military force on the Iranian regime without first planning for contingencies. That, she complained, meant that he was &#8220;sending people in to die.&#8221;

After first asserting that the United States was manipulating the numbers to hide the number of American troops who were already deployed to the Middle East and the number of those who had been hurt or killed, Goldberg asserted that there was still no plan in place to bring Operation Epic Fury to an end.
&#8220;At this point, at this point, I want them to stop what they&#8217;re doing. They are sending people in to die. They are sending people in to die and I&#8217;m surprised because Hegseth served,&#8221; Goldberg said, suggesting that because American troops were in harm&#8217;s way, Hegseth could not possibly have planned the operation.
&#8220;Yes, he did,&#8221; Sunny Hostin agreed.
&#8220;He served. He should know what —&#8221; Goldberg said.
Cohost Abby Huntsman added, &#8220;He should know better than anybody.&#8221;
&#8220;Yes, better than any body, but when you listen to [Hegseth] — Stop looking so angry! He should know more than anybody what it takes to be a soldier in our Army,&#8221; Goldberg explained, adding, &#8220;What it means when you send people in. When you send them in with a plan, it&#8217;s horrific. You send them in without a plan, you willy-nilly and you&#8217;re not explaining what&#8217;s going on.&#8221;

Whoopi Goldberg floated a bizarre theory during Monday&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;The View&#8221; on ABC, suggesting that FBI Director Kash Patel had been sent to Italy to watch Team USA&#8217;s first Olympic hockey gold medal in 46 years because the rank and file wanted him out of the way.
Goldberg and her cohosts began the segment by bashing Patel for going to the championship game between fierce rivals, the United States and Canada, because that meant he was not present to handle other major issues in which the FBI has been deeply involved.
Cohost Ana Navarro mentioned the videos that showed Patel partying with Team USA in the locker room after their overtime win, and complained that he was behaving like &#8220;a member of &#8216;Animal House,'&#8221; and claimed she had no idea what he was even doing there.
Sara Haines argued that she personally would rather have a law enforcement leader who was &#8220;serious and borderline boring,&#8221; complaining that he was partying instead of dealing with real issues like the upheaval in Mexico and the Secret Service-involved shooting at Mar-a-Lago.
&#8220;Right now the world doesn&#8217;t feel settled or stable, and you&#8217;ve got the head of the FBI, and the visual of chugging a beer in a locker room,&#8221; she added, arguing that he was not helping the administration to appear more &#8220;competent&#8221; and that the whole scenario was &#8220;a bit of an insult to the American people.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Whoopi suggests the rest of the FBI told Patel to get out of the office to get their &#8220;incompetent&#8221; boss out of their hair so they could do their jobs: 
&#8220;I&#8217;m going to put a positive spin on it. Maybe the folks in the FBI say, &#8216;yeah, Kash, go do that&#8217; so they don&#8217;t have to deal with… <a href="https://t.co/Fjof0tBmGn">pic.twitter.com/Fjof0tBmGn</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Goldberg then pivoted to suggest that maybe the move had come at the behest of some in the FBI who felt that they would be better able to do their jobs if Patel was off doing something else.
&#8220;I&#8217;m going to put a positive spin on it. Maybe the folks in the FBI say, &#8216;yeah, Kash, go do that&#8217; so they don&#8217;t have to deal with him, because they know he doesn&#8217;t know what he&#8217;s doing,&#8221; she said. &#8220;They know that he is incompetent. They know that he is just — he is a joke and he is a joke in the rest of the world. And because for most of the people working in the FBI it is not a joke. They are the ones whose eyes are on the ball.&#8221;
Patel himself <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kash-patel-owns-partying-with-usa-hockey-team-yes-i-love-america">addressed the media</a> scrutiny in a post to X, saying that he&#8217;d been invited to celebrate with Team USA after their gold-medal win and had chosen to do so.
&#8220;For the very concerned media — yes, I love America and was extremely humbled when my friends, the newly minted Gold Medal winners on Team USA, invited me into the locker room to celebrate this historic moment with the boys,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Greatest country on earth and greatest sport on earth.&#8221;

&#8220;The View&#8221; host Whoopi Goldberg attempted to shrug off her own appearance in recently-released documents related to the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, claiming during a Tuesday broadcast that she was &#8220;too old&#8221; for his tastes.
Goldberg, who reportedly reached out to the disgraced financier with a request to borrow his jet, argued on Tuesday that she &#8220;wasn&#8217;t his friend&#8221; and complained that people were making claims linking her to Epstein without first getting all the facts.

&#8220;Now, in the name of transparency &#8230; my name is in the files,&#8221; Goldberg said, beginning the segment by showing an email that linked her to Epstein. &#8220;Yes! And what does it say? It says, &#8216;Whoopi needs a plane to get to Monaco.'&#8221;
She explained that she&#8217;d been trying to get to a charity event and had simply needed to find transportation.
&#8220;So, in other words, anybody can be on this list,&#8221; co-host Joy Behar said.
&#8220;Anybody — well, this is my point. Because I&#8217;m telling you when I tell you people are trying to turn me into — I wasn&#8217;t his girlfriend. I wasn&#8217;t his friend,&#8221; Goldberg said.
&#8220;You were too old for him,&#8221; co-host Sara Haines joked.
&#8220;I was not only too old, but it was at a time, you know, where this is just not — you used to have to have facts before you said stuff,&#8221; Goldberg — who was suspended for saying that the Holocaust was &#8220;not about race&#8221; and suggested Dr. (Ed.) Jill Biden would be an excellent Surgeon General — complained.
Behar quickly flipped the conversation to attack President Donald Trump, adding, &#8220;But Trump is on the list 38,000 times. Come on!&#8221;
&#8220;Well, I can&#8217;t speak to him, but I&#8217;m speaking about me because I&#8217;m getting dragged,&#8221; Goldberg continued. &#8220;People actually believe that I was with him. It&#8217;s like, honey, come on.&#8221;
Haines suggested that people were just looking for scapegoats in the list of names recently connected to Epstein — some of whom, such as Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe, were already dead.
&#8220;They dropped like 300 names and it&#8217;s like flood the zone because when you look in there, there&#8217;s people like Marilyn Monroe, who was dead &#8230; because a lot of the reasons your name can be mentioned are news articles, third party emails, contacts, again, wealthy, famous people often cross in professional and social circles, so that&#8217;s not the surprising part,&#8221; she said.
Despite defending Goldberg&#8217;s connection to Epstein as simply the result of &#8220;wealthy, famous people&#8221; traveling in similar orbits, it did not appear to occur to anyone at the table that Trump — who also qualifies as a &#8220;wealthy, famous&#8221; person — might be able to explain his own appearance in the Epstein documents the same way.

Ana Navarro suggested on Monday that President Donald Trump and his administration had effectively cooked the books in their efforts to arrest former CNN host Don Lemon in connection with a protest that disrupted a Minneapolis church service a week earlier.
Navarro and her cohosts on ABC&#8217;s midday talk show &#8220;The View&#8221; discussed Lemon&#8217;s arrest, and their conversation covered the entire spectrum, from Navarro and Sunny Hostin insisting that the case had no merit and would be dismissed to Whoopi Goldberg wringing her hands and warning that the Trump administration could arrest anyone the president didn&#8217;t like.
Navarro began by claiming that an appellate court&#8217;s refusal to compel a lower court judge to sign off on Lemon&#8217;s arrest warrant amounted to judges laughing the DOJ out of their courtrooms. She did not mention the fact that one of the judges concerned said that he agreed there was probable cause to arrest Lemon.
&#8220;So, they basically did it themselves,&#8221; she asserted. &#8220;Make no mistake about it. This was about gaslighting, this was about going against Don lemon and other journalists. By the way, all of whom happen to be black. Happy Black History Month. And I think it&#8217;s to send a chilling message to anybody who is covering facts.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Hostin, also ignoring that fact that Lemon was indicted by a federal grand jury, claimed that the former CNN host was only acting as a journalist covering the protest as it unfolded — despite video appearing to show that he was privy to the plans prior to the group storming into the church while parishioners attempted to hold a worship service.

Since the protest just over a week earlier, several disturbing reports have come out detailing the behavior of the protesters — who reportedly harassed and terrified members of the congregation — while inside the church.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

Whoopi Goldberg immediately backpedaled after claiming Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were &#8220;violent criminals,&#8221; saying that she was using &#8220;nuance&#8221; when she made that particular statement.
Goldberg joined her cohosts on Monday&#8217;s broadcast of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View,&#8221; where they discussed the fatal confrontation between anti-ICE activist Renee Good and the ICE agent who shot and killed her when she accelerated toward him, striking him with her vehicle.

Goldberg began by complaining that the Department of Homeland Security had promised to pick up the worst of the worst and the most “violent criminals” — and reports detailing who ICE agents have arrested since the surge in Minneapolis began indicate they have followed through on that promise.
But Goldberg disagreed with DHS and said that, as far as she was concerned, it appeared that the “violent criminals” were inside ICE.
“This is the thing, you said you were going after the bad guys. That&#8217;s what you said, the violent criminals. And what does it turn out? The violent criminals seem to be in the agency,” she said.
The show cut to a commercial break then, and by the time they returned to air, she was already trying to un-ring the bell.
“Welcome back. Before we go on, I — before folks gather around and say, &#8216;oh, she&#8217;s accusing all of the folks at ICE of being criminals,’ that is not what I&#8217;m doing.

Whoopi Goldberg practically begged a foreign power — any foreign power — to come in and extradite President Donald Trump, complaining on Wednesday that the United States does not &#8220;have a government&#8221; with him in the White House.

Cohost Sara Haines suggested that Trump&#8217;s voters were not educated enough to understand &#8220;the chess game of the geopolitics&#8221; and didn&#8217;t actually vote for what was happening — and claimed again that Trump&#8217;s actions were &#8220;illegal.&#8221;
