<p>&#8220;The View&#8221; devolved into a shouting match on Thursday as the co-hosts debated red flag laws — whether or not they were a good idea and whether or not they were effective.</p>
<p>The conversation came about as a response to a shooting that took place when a <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/virginia-school-official-aware-that-6-year-old-may-have-been-armed-before-was-teacher-shot-superintendent-says/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">six-year-old</a> student brought a gun to school and shot his teacher — despite <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/paralyzed-by-apathy-school-officials-were-warned-about-gun-3-times-before-6-year-old-shot-teacher-lawyer-says/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">multiple warnings</a> that the school administrators had reportedly failed to act upon.</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Joy Behar began the conversation by attacking legal gun owners and anyone who did not agree with her conclusion that guns were the problem.</p>
<p>&#8220;The beauty of this story is that the right wing of this country would have us believe that it has nothing to do with the guns and that the solution to these type of shootings is to arm the teachers,&#8221; she said. &#8220;So, now, the teacher has a gun — was she supposed to shoot the kid? What would have happened if she had a gun? Who was she supposed to shoot?&#8221;</p>
<p>Behar then pivoted, saying that some might argue that shootings could be stopped by &#8220;good guys with guns,&#8221; noting that there had been <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/egregious-poor-decision-making-nearly-400-cops-gathered-at-uvalde-school-before-anyone-did-anything/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">police present in Uvalde</a> who had not entered the school during the shooting there.</p>
<p>&#8220;This country needs to grow up!&#8221; she exclaimed, suggesting that the United States was not &#8220;civilized&#8221; because stronger gun control laws had not yet been implemented.</p>
<p>Co-host Sunny Hostin jumped in then, claiming that the others at the table had previously &#8220;skewered&#8221; her for asserting that red flag laws were &#8220;not enough&#8221; to handle the issue.</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a red flag law in Virginia,&#8221; she pointed out.</p>
<p>&#8220;I support red flag laws,&#8221; Republican co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin remarked.</p>
<p>&#8220;But they don&#8217;t work!&#8221; Hostin&#8217;s voice rose. &#8220;It didn&#8217;t work!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re not being —&#8221; Sara Haines interrupted as everyone began talking at once. &#8220;Excuse me. They&#8217;re not being implemented properly —&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And that&#8217;s what I said,&#8221; Hostin pushed back.</p>
<p>&#8220;It doesn&#8217;t mean you give up —&#8221; Haines tried again, repeating, &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t mean you give up —&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;But they knew!&#8221; Goldberg shouted over the crosstalk, trying to get the segment back under control.</p>

<p>But during Wednesday&#8217;s broadcast, the hosts seemed amused and even relieved to hear the news claiming that the reports took some of the sting out of the still-unfolding scandal surrounding President Joe Biden and the multiple classified documents found at his home, in his garage, and at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C.</p>

<p>Whoopi Goldberg opened the conversation, asking with a laugh whether every former president and vice president should be checking their offices and libraries just to be sure they hadn&#8217;t taken anything they shouldn&#8217;t have.</p>
<p>Sunny Hostin was the first to give Pence a pass, arguing that in all of the chaos after the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill, the vice president may have panicked and packed in a hurry.</p>
<p>&#8220;I feel like now every president and vice president is a suspect,&#8221; she said, adding in mocking tones, &#8220;Are the documents in the conservatory with the wrench?&#8221;</p>
<p>Griffin agreed, explaining that Pence had always been extremely careful when she worked for him — even to the point of doing briefings in the Situation Room just in case anything classified might come up.</p>
<p>She went on to say that she believed the chaos of the transition — and a possible staffer error — was likely the reason classified material had gotten into Pence&#8217;s home.</p>
<p>&#8220;So should we be concerned about you? Do you have boxes?&#8221; Goldberg asked Griffin then, getting a laugh.</p>
<p>Goldberg then went on to argue that the news took some of the heat off Biden, saying, &#8220;Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.&#8221;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joy-behar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joy Behar</a> appeared to suggest on Thursday that classified documents found at President Joe Biden’s think tank, his home, and even his garage may have been planted, expressing skepticism that they would mysteriously &#8220;appear&#8221; in time to draw attention away from a probe into former President Donald Trump&#8217;s own handling of secret documents.</p>
<p>Behar joined her co-hosts on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; to discuss the most recent reports of <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/biden-responds-to-classified-docs-found-at-his-home-were-in-a-locked-garage-as-well-as-my-corvette/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">classified documents</a> — apparently taken from the White House when Biden left the vice presidency — that were discovered first in Biden&#8217;s office at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, and then in both his home and his garage.</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Whoopi Goldberg began the attack, lashing out at Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) for calling on Attorney General Merrick Garland to <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/classified-documents-bidens-vice-presidency-found-think-tank-cbs-news-2023-01-09/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appoint a special counsel</a> to investigate — which Garland later did — and claiming that Biden&#8217;s classified documents were completely different than the <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/breaking-merrick-garland-to-name-special-counsel-to-determine-charges-against-trump-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">documents discovered</a> in former President Trump&#8217;s Mar-a-Lago home.</p>
<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s find out what they discover first, and then do whatever needs to be done,&#8221; she said. &#8220;We all know this needs to be investigated, but it is not the same.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sara Haines agreed, arguing that the volume of documents found in each place was enough to show that the two situations were entirely different.</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Behar worried that the sudden appearance of classified documents tied to Biden might jeopardize any case that was building against Trump, and she voiced her suspicions: &#8220;You know what I think? I’ve never seen a luckier person than Donald Trump. Just as we&#8217;re this close to getting him, somehow these documents appear!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Here&#8217;s the thing,&#8221; Alyssa Farah Griffin cut in. &#8220;Biden is wrong to have done this. He was in office for —&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s find out what this is first. Again, one of the things that gets me crazy is before we know, it&#8217;s already been spun a specific way,&#8221; Goldberg said again, asking how the documents could have been missing for all those years without anyone noticing that they were gone.</p>
<p>&#8220;Because to me, if you are missing classified information, I don&#8217;t mean to laugh, but in my house, if stuff is missing, I know it&#8217;s missing,&#8221; Goldberg said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Does it feel like oppo-research to you? Does it feel like the Republicans are behind it?&#8221; Sunny Hostin asked.</p>
<p>&#8220;It did originally,&#8221; Goldberg admitted, but she said that Biden&#8217;s response had led her to believe that it was more likely an accident.</p>

<p>&#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/the-view">The View</a>&#8221; co-host Sunny Hostin revealed that she went under the knife in 2022 for several procedures and said she didn&#8217;t feel any shame about it.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sunny-hostin-denies-she-compared-white-women-to-roaches-for-voting-gop">54-year-old</a> co-host opened up to <a href="https://people.com/health/sunny-hostin-reveals-she-underwent-breast-reduction-liposuction-procedures/">People</a> magazine about having breast reduction surgery and lift, as well as liposuction on her waist and chin last year.</p>
<p>&#8220;I feel like a better version of myself,&#8221; Hostin shared after years of struggling with what she called lower back pain and body image issues. &#8220;It was a health decision and a self-care decision.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I thought I would feel shame, like, &#8216;Oh my God, I&#8217;m doing plastic surgery like all these crazy celebrities.&#8217; But I don&#8217;t feel shame at all,&#8221; she added. &#8220;And I hope sharing my story will help more people. If they&#8217;re feeling so body-conscious, the way I was — they can do what they need to do to feel better.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hostin explained that she has felt self-conscious about her chest since she was a teenager and finally decided to undergo a breast reduction procedure, going from a G-cup to a C-cup.</p>
<p>&#8220;My waist was small, but my top was so big I would wear a minimizer bra and a sports bra or a binder all the time,&#8221; the co-host shared. &#8220;Or I would get a very large dress, and then my stylist would put clips on the back of my dress so that everything would fit.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-view-host-claims-jesus-would-be-the-grand-marshal-at-the-pride-parade">Hostin</a> said the two-week healing process from her <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/linda-evangelista-shares-photos-after-being-permanently-deformed-following-botched-plastic-surgery">plastic surgery</a> was anything but glamorous, admitting she hired a private nurse to help her with things like drainage tubes to prevent blood and fluid buildup.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was up and walking around in three days,&#8221; the co-host shared. &#8220;I was back to work in two weeks, and I was doing Pilates in two months.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hostin said she used to think when she saw fit celebrities on social media and thought &#8220;Oh, they must be clean eating&#8221; but said now she realizes &#8220;a lot of them are taking something, or they&#8217;re getting plastic surgery.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sunny is married to Emmanuel Hostin and the two share son Gabriel and daughter Paloma.</p>

<p>O&#8217;Donnell <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/01/03/why-rosie-odonnell-skipped-barbara-walters-tribute/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">began the post</a> by touting Walters&#8217; career and life, saying, &#8220;Very sad to hear about Barbara Walters passing. Although, 93, man, who wouldn&#8217;t take that?&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;League of Their Own&#8221; actress went on to detail some of Walters&#8217; accomplishments as a journalist before turning to their more personal connection.</p>
<p>&#8220;What a long and eventful legendary life she had,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I was lucky enough to be in her orbit for a good many years and we saw a lot of Broadway shows together … May she rest in peace and may everyone remember just what barriers she broke down for women. She really did. She was the first and will always be remembered.&#8221;</p>
<p>O&#8217;Donnell confirmed that she had been invited to participate in the tribute — which included a number of current and former hosts like Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin, Lisa Ling, Sherri Shepherd, and Meredith Vieira (who joined the show by phone because she was not feeling well).</p>
<p>And although her publicist had initially stated that she had been traveling and unable to change her plans, O&#8217;Donnell suggested that there may have been another reason she preferred not to attend the event.</p>
<p>&#8220;You know, I didn&#8217;t want to be in a big group of people, and I don&#8217;t know, I was worried I would get upset and didn&#8217;t want to do that, so, there you go,&#8221; O&#8217;Donnell said — and a number of friends and fans were quick to support her decision.</p>
<p>Actress and friend Debi Mazar <a href="https://people.com/tv/rosie-odonnell-reveals-missed-the-view-tribute-barbara-walters/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that she preferred the idea of grieving privately, commenting on O&#8217;Donnell&#8217;s Instagram post, &#8220;Mourning is personal &amp; PRIVATE A display for PR purposes is kind of vulgar, in my opinion. Barbara ADORED you. Remember when she came backstage after your wonderful performance in The Vagina Monologues? She came just for you.&#8221;</p>

<p>Whoopi Goldberg had to apologize a second time for comments about the Holocaust when she appeared to repeat the same claims that got her suspended from ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; in February of 2022.</p>
<p>Goldberg provoked strong reactions when she claimed — during a discussion about the Holocaust-themed graphic novel &#8220;Maus&#8221; — that the Holocaust was &#8220;<a href="https://dailywire.com/news/sparks-fly-on-the-view-after-whoopi-goldberg-claims-the-holocaust-was-not-about-race/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">not about race</a>.&#8221; After Goldberg made several apologies, ABC eventually <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/breaking-effective-immediately-abc-suspends-whoopi-goldberg-over-wrong-and-hurtful-holocaust-comments/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspended her</a> from the show — but she raised eyebrows again when she revisited the topic during a December interview.</p>
<p>While doing a <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/whoopi-goldberg-doubles-down-on-holocaust-race-claim-that-got-her-suspended/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press tour</a> in London as one of the producers for the new movie &#8220;Till&#8221; — about Emmett Till, a 14-year-old black boy who was lynched in 1955 — Goldberg&#8217;s comments came up as part of a conversation about race, and she again suggested that she had reason to believe that the Jews were not a &#8220;race.&#8221;</p>
<p>The interviewer pushed back — as co-host Joy Behar had on &#8220;The View&#8221; — saying that the &#8220;Nazis saw Jews as a race.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Yes, but that’s the killer, isn’t it? The oppressor is telling you what you are. Why are you believing them?&#8221; Goldberg pushed back. &#8220;They’re Nazis. Why believe what they’re saying?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;My best friend said, &#8216;Not for nothing is there no box on the census for the Jewish race. So that leads me to believe that we’re probably not a race,’” she continued.</p>
<p>But a rep. for Goldberg put out a statement on Tuesday in response to the <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/celebrity/whoopi-goldberg-faces-backlash-repeating-false-holocaust-comments-rcna63321" target="_blank" rel="noopener">immediate backlash</a>, claiming that she had not meant to double down on her previous comments.</p>
<p>&#8220;Recently while doing press in London, I was asked about my comments from earlier this year. I tried to convey to the reporter what I had said and why, and attempted to recount that time. It was never my intention to appear as if I was doubling down on hurtful comments, especially after talking with and hearing people like rabbis and old and new friends weighing in,&#8221; Goldberg claimed.</p>
<p>Goldberg went on to claim that she was &#8220;still learning&#8221; and doing her best to listen to how people felt about the things she said.</p>
<p>&#8220;I believe that the Holocaust was about race, and I am still as sorry now as I was then that I upset, hurt and angered people,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;My sincere apologies again, especially to everyone who thought this was a fresh rehash of the subject. I promise it was not. In this time of rising antisemitism, I want to be very clear when I say that I always stood with the Jewish people and always will. My support for them has not wavered and never will.&#8221;</p>

The latest comments came despite Goldberg serving a suspension and issuing an apology for the same claims less than a year ago.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">“Remember who they were killing first,” Goldberg told the newspaper. “They were not killing racial; they were killing physical. They were killing people they considered to be mentally defective. And then they made this decision.”</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">She also tried to clarify her claims about Semitic people not being a race, and used a gross metaphor to describe how her words were construed.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">“It doesn&#8217;t change the fact that you could not tell a Jew on a street,” Goldberg said. “You could find me. You couldn&#8217;t find them. That was the point I was making.&#8221;</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">“But you would have thought that I&#8217;d taken a big old stinky dump on the table, butt naked,” she said.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">In February, Goldberg sparked outrage when she said the Holocaust, in which six million Jews were killed, was not a racial matter but a case of “white-on-white violence.”</p>
<p>“Effective immediately, I am suspending Whoopi Goldberg for two weeks for her wrong and hurtful comments,&#8221; Kim Godwin, president of Disney-owned ABC, said in a Feb. 1 statement. &#8220;While Whoopi has apologized, I’ve asked her to take time to reflect and learn about the impact of her comments. The entire ABC News organization stands in solidarity with our Jewish colleagues, friends and communities.&#8221;</p>
<p>The network has so far not commented on Goldberg&#8217;s latest remarks.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Goldberg granted the latest interview to promote a new film she helped produce about civil rights martyr Emmett Till. In addition to potentially reigniting a feud with Jews, historians, and possibly her employer, Goldberg risked the ire of the transgender community. When asked about her recent claim that “men don’t have eggs,” which transgender activists took as a slight to biological women who think they are men, Goldberg held her ground.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">“They may have eggs, but they&#8217;re not getting pregnant, are they?” she said. “I think you have to do some fixing in order to get those eggs fertilized. But I do have questions because trans men, I was told, still have their prostates.”</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Goldberg started the Holocaust firestorm early last year when she and her co-hosts were discussing a Tennessee school board’s decision to pull the Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel “Maus. “</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">“Let&#8217;s be truthful about it: the Holocaust isn&#8217;t about race,” she said. “It&#8217;s not about race. It&#8217;s not about race. It&#8217;s not about race. It&#8217;s about man&#8217;s inhumanity to man. That&#8217;s what it&#8217;s about.&#8217;</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Although her co-hosts disputed the claim, Goldberg kept digging herself into a historical hole.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">“These are two white groups of people,” she continued. “You are missing the point. The minute you turn it into race, it goes down this alley. Let&#8217;s talk about it for what it is, it&#8217;s how people treat each other.”</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">After the network suspended her, she issued an apology in which she acknowledged that “The Holocaust was about the Nazi&#8217;s systematic annihilation of the Jewish people — who they deemed to be an inferior race. I stand corrected.” But she then proceeded to undermine the mea culpa in an interview the same day with leftist late-night television host Stephen Colbert.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">“When you talk about being a racist, you can&#8217;t call this racism,” Goldberg said. “This was evil. This wasn&#8217;t based on skin. You couldn&#8217;t tell who was Jewish. You had to delve deeply and figure it out. My point is: they had to do the work.&#8221;</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">“If the Klan is coming down the street and I&#8217;m standing with a Jewish friend,” she continued, “I&#8217;m going to run, but if my friend decides not to run, they&#8217;ll get passed by most times because you can&#8217;t tell who is Jewish. You don&#8217;t know.”</p>

Whoopi Goldberg Doubles Down On Holocaust ‘Race’ Claim That Got Her Suspended

Whoopi Goldberg Doubles Down On Holocaust 'Race' Claim That Got Her Suspended

Race

<p>&#8220;The View&#8221; co-host Whoopi Goldberg suggested that all of the Republicans who <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/breaking-dem-controlled-senate-passes-same-sex-marriage-bill-12-republicans-support/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">voted in favor</a> of the so-called <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dem-controlled-house-passes-same-sex-marriage-bill-39-republicans-support/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Respect for Marriage Act</a> may have done so at the stern behest of a friend — or &#8220;perhaps a lover.&#8221;</p>
<p>During Wednesday&#8217;s broadcast of the long-running ABC midday talk show, Goldberg and her co-hosts discussed the legislation — which President Joe Biden signed into law on Tuesday in a <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/biden-signs-same-sex-marriage-bill-drag-queens-invited-to-lavish-wh-ceremony/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lavish ceremony</a> that included drag queens, among others.</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Co-host <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/that-really-makes-me-nuts-joy-behar-ties-colorado-springs-shooting-to-lauren-boeberts-2021-christmas-photo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joy Behar</a> was first to address the topic, and she complained about the Republicans who had not voted to federally codify same-sex marriage. She asked whether those same people have also been opposed to interracial marriage, which was also federally protected under the new law.</p>
<p>&#8220;Does that mean that these Republicans who are against the gay marriage bill are also against interracial marriage?&#8221; she asked, and her co-hosts all began talking at once.</p>
<p>&#8220;No, it&#8217;s not that,&#8221; Republican co-host <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/thats-not-fairsuch-a-cheap-shot-the-view-blows-up-as-alyssa-farah-griffin-and-kellyanne-conway-clash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alyssa Farah Griffin</a> cut in, adding in exaggerated tones. &#8220;It&#8217;s the fear of like polyamory or, like, you&#8217;re going to marry a relative &#8230; I mean, I think.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;That must be the slippery slope. Bestiality? Is that what they&#8217;re thinking?&#8221; co-host Sunny Hostin asked, prompting loud laughter from the audience.</p>
<p>Griffin went on to argue that straight couples were more likely to damage traditional marriage than same-sex couples were, and Goldberg promptly agreed: &#8220;That&#8217;s the biggest threat.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Anytime somebody decides that they want to get married, celebrate them,&#8221; <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/let-me-explain-something-exasperated-whoopi-lectures-joni-ernst-says-iowa-is-too-white-to-lead-primaries/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Goldberg</a> insisted, going on to claim that putting rules on marriage was like &#8220;giving the finger&#8221; to same-sex couples who were already married.</p>
<p>&#8220;And I suspect many of these folks voted the way they did because somebody they know said, &#8216;If you don&#8217;t vote this way, I&#8217;ll never speak to you again,'&#8221; Goldberg concluded, apparently suggesting that some Republicans may have only voted in favor of the measure under duress. &#8220;Perhaps a lover? Maybe a friend.&#8221;</p>
<p>Across both legislative chambers, a total of 51 Republicans voted to pass the Respect for Marriage Act — 39 of them in the House of Representatives and 12 in the Senate.</p>

‘Perhaps A Lover?’: Whoopi Goldberg Hints Republicans Who Voted For Marriage Bill Were Threatened To Do So

Whoopi Goldberg Hints Republicans Who Voted For Marriage Bill Were Threatened To Do So

Respect for Marriage Act

Same-Sex Marriage

<p>Whoopi Goldberg shared that her will contains a bizarre clause that will prevent any future unauthorized biopics being made after her death.</p>
<p>During ABC&#8217;s talkshow &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WqW3s-aIk0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The View</a>&#8221; on Tuesday, the cohosts were discussing the &#8220;backlash&#8221; against Andrew Dominik&#8217;s movie &#8220;Blonde&#8221; as a &#8220;gratuitous exploitation&#8221; of the late-Marilyn Monroe.</p>
<p>Co-host Sunny Hostin then suggested people will be dying to make film&#8217;s about Goldberg after she passes away.</p>
<p>&#8220;It sounds macabre, but I was speaking to Whoopi, and I was saying that she&#8217;s such a famous person that when she passes away, people are going to make films,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sunny-hostin-denies-she-compared-white-women-to-roaches-for-voting-gop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hostin</a> shared on the show.</p>
<p>Her co-host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/whoopi-goldberg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Goldberg</a> then interjected and said that wouldn&#8217;t be happening and said she&#8217;s taken legal action to make sure it doesn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>&#8220;Actually they&#8217;re not,&#8221; the &#8220;Sister Act&#8221; star explained.  &#8220;They&#8217;re not going to make films, because in my will it says, &#8216;Unless you speak to my family, try it.&#8217; Okay, try it.&#8221;</p>

<p>The overall opinion on the show was that the movie — starring <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/actress-ana-de-armas-says-theres-no-need-for-a-female-bond-no-need-to-steal-someone-elses-character" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ana De Armas</a> as the iconic late Hollywood screen legend — was that the film was bad and unwatchable, mentioning that there were rape scenes with no &#8220;trigger warnings.&#8221;</p>
<p>De Armas previously spoke about the things she did in the movie and said she did it for Monroe, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-did-it-for-her-actress-ana-de-armas-says-she-did-things-in-blonde-she-would-have-never-done-for-anyone-else" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Knives Out&#8221; star talked about her portrayal of the screen legend’s short life, including depictions of sexual violence and degradation in the NC-17 film.</p>
<p>&#8220;I did things in this movie I would have never done for anyone else, ever,&#8221; Ana explained. &#8220;I did it for her [Marilyn], and I did it for Andrew [Dominik].&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re telling her story,&#8221; she added. &#8220;From her point of view. I&#8217;m making people feel what she felt. When we had to shoot these kinds of scenes, like the one with [President John F.] Kennedy, it was difficult for everybody. But at the same time, I knew I had to go there to find the truth.&#8221;</p>
<p>The scene mentioned included Kennedy, played by Caspar Phillipson, forcing her character to perform oral sex on him.</p>

<p><a href="https://dailywire.com/news/even-whoopi-admits-ny-post-cover-calling-desantis-defuture-is-hysterical/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Goldberg</a> and her co-hosts discussed the <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/scotus-starts-case-with-enormous-religious-freedom-implications/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">case</a> that is currently before the Supreme Court — <em>303 Creative v. Elenis</em><em> — </em>and throughout the segment Goldberg appeared to argue both sides of the case. She claimed that it was discrimination for the woman named in the case — Lorie Smith — to refuse to create a website for a same-sex wedding, but then later argued that she would refuse to bake a cake with a swastika on it because that would be &#8220;anti-human being.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;The Supreme Court conservatives seem poised to agree with her, but here&#8217;s what I want to know: Whose religious freedom are we protecting, because she&#8217;s pooping on my religious freedom,&#8221; Goldberg asserted. &#8220;The whole idea in the Constitution, about freedom from religious beliefs, is that you don&#8217;t have to subscribe to your neighbor&#8217;s belief. That&#8217;s the beauty of it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Goldberg went on to suggest, without any evidence and without noting that it would be illegal, that a reasonable comparison was a doctor who would allow certain patients to die based on political beliefs rather than treat them. She then argued that the obvious result, if Smith were to win the case, would be people refusing to serve others because of race or gender in addition to sexual orientation.</p>

<p>Co-host Sara Haines added a caveat, noting that both the baker and the web designer in question had never refused to serve gay clients — their issue was simply with attaching their business name to a same-sex wedding. And while Haines said she didn&#8217;t agree with that position either, it was important to distinguish between outright discrimination based on sexual orientation and what was actually happening in those cases.</p>
<p>Republican co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin noted that there was another issue in play as well, saying that she had a problem with the idea that the business owners were effectively being compelled to make a statement with which they did not agree.</p>
<p>She made the comparison to a gay web designer who might be asked to create an anti-LGBTQ website, arguing that they should also have the right to &#8220;opt out of that.&#8221;</p>

<p>Goldberg jumped back in to round out the conversation, this time taking the opposite position and claiming that if she were asked to bake a cake with a swastika on it she would refuse.</p>
<p>&#8220;To me, that is just anti-human being,&#8221; she said, and when Behar pressed her on whether or not she might face consequences for refusing, she argued, &#8220;That&#8217;s one of those things that we collectively say, &#8216;No, that&#8217;s not something we want to see.'&#8221;</p>

<p>Griffin began by saying that she appreciated how far society had come in calling out certain male behaviors that were — in her words — &#8220;unhelpful.&#8221; And while she noted that women had also come a long way with regard to being more supportive of each other, she went on to say that she could certainly see room for improvement.</p>

<p>&#8220;I think that women have made a ton of progress, but we can also be each other&#8217;s worst enemies,&#8221; Griffin said. &#8220;It&#8217;s still the case and I hate to say it. Some of the worst bosses I&#8217;ve had have been women, and sometimes colleagues in the workplace who are women, and I always think of the Madeleine Albright quote, —&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, that&#8217;s what happens when you work with Kellyanne Conway,&#8221; Navarro interrupted.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, I can&#8217;t really get a word in without you attacking me,&#8221; Griffin shot back. &#8220;So I wouldn&#8217;t say this is a totally different —&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I haven&#8217;t attacked you,&#8221; Navarro interrupted again.</p>
<p>&#8220;— this isn’t like a totally different environment of women supporting each other. But Madeleine Albright always said, ‘There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help and support other women.&#8217; That’s something I try to live by. I think that we have a duty to kind of give that back especially for the women who come after us,&#8221; Griffin finished.</p>
<p>And Griffin isn&#8217;t the only one to notice a toxic environment on the ABC show. Former cohost Candace Cameron Bure <a href="https://ew.com/tv/candace-cameron-bure-ptsd-hosting-the-view/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reflected</a> on her time at &#8220;The View&#8221; and said that there were times when, as the only conservative on the panel, she felt like a &#8220;punching bag.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;When I felt like I was going into a show that I didn&#8217;t have a clear opinion about or it was something that I was legitimately nervous to talk about because I did have an opinion about it but I knew I was the only one at the table that had my opinion, I would just get sick to my stomach. I hated that feeling. And then I&#8217;m like, &#8216;I don&#8217;t know who&#8217;s going to come at me,'&#8221; she said, adding that she had ultimately left because she &#8220;did not want to be the punching bag for the next four years in that conservative seat.&#8221;</p>

<p><a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/ana-navarro/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ana Navarro</a> said Friday that Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones should be called to account for his appearance in a 1957 photo of a desegregation protest.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/01/sport/lebron-james-jerry-jones-photo-intl-spt/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jones</a>, who was 14 years old at the time the photo was taken outside North Little Rock High School, can be seen standing in the crowd as a group of white students appeared to be blocking several black students from entering the building. Several reporters and photographers are also visible in the image, speaking to students as the protest goes on.</p>
<p>The photo was <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/interactive/2022/jerry-jones-black-coaches-nfl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published</a> last week by The Washington Post in an article attacking Jones for failing to do enough to end racial disparities within the NFL — and Navarro called on Jones to answer for it.</p>

<p>The conversation during Friday&#8217;s broadcast began around anti-Semitism and recent remarks from rapper Kanye &#8220;Ye&#8221; West and quickly turned to an attack on billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk and his recent acquisition of Twitter.</p>
<p>&#8220;Anti-Semitic posts referring to Jews or Judaism soared more than 81% in the two weeks after Elon Musk acquired Twitter,&#8221; <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/that-really-makes-me-nuts-joy-behar-ties-colorado-springs-shooting-to-lauren-boeberts-2021-christmas-photo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joy Behar</a> alleged without presenting evidence.</p>
<p>Co-host Sunny Hostin agreed, claiming — also without evidence — that attacks against black people and women had also risen in the days since Musk&#8217;s purchase was completed.</p>
<p>Navarro pivoted, however, and after only briefly addressing anti-Semitism, turned the attack on Jerry Jones.</p>
<p>Noting that NBA star LeBron James had mentioned the Jerry Jones photo — asking why everyone wanted to talk to him about Kyrie Irving and his anti-Semitic tweets, but no one was asking him about Jones being present at a desegregation protest — Navarro argued that Jones should be doing more to rectify the situation.</p>
<p>&#8220;I hope that Jerry Jones, who has so many black players, who has such a platform, who has all this money, who&#8217;s got all this access, I hope Jerry jones really does take the opportunity to own this, to talk about it, to explain it, and talk about the change that has happened in 65 years and his role in it,&#8221; Navarro challenged.</p>
<p>Hostin noted that Jones had spoken about the photo, saying that he had gone to the front of the school that day to observe and that he was 14 years old at the time.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don’t know that I or anybody anticipated or had a background of knowing … what was involved. It was more a curious thing,&#8221; Jones said of his presence at the protest.</p>
<p>But then Hostin added that there were also 14-year-olds in the KKK, complaining that people did not get as animated in pushing back against &#8220;anti-blackness&#8221; as they did against anti-Semitism.</p>
