&#8220;The View&#8221; host Joy Behar complained about President Donald Trump&#8217;s decision to strike Iranian nuclear sites, first objecting to the fact that he did not exhaust the two week window he&#8217;d set for such an attack, and then to the fact that he had not warned Iran ahead of time that he planned to carry out the attacks.
Behar addressed the topic on Monday&#8217;s broadcast of the midday talk show, along with her regular cohosts — and ABC News chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl pushed back when she suggested that the Trump administration had been out of line in attacking the Iranian nuclear enrichment facilities.
&#8220;So on Thursday, the White House said that Trump was going to make a decision on Iran in the next two weeks, that&#8217;s what he said, remember that?&#8221; Behar began. &#8220;Okay, he was going to give diplomatic negotiations more time to play out. And then less than 48 hours later, this attack was underway. So what changed and what was he actually trying to accomplish here?&#8221;
&#8220;Look, the two weeks measure was clearly a little bit of a head fake,&#8221; Karl replied. &#8220;I mean, not entirely. I wouldn&#8217;t say the decision was finally made. All indications are he didn&#8217;t actually make the decision to so-called pull the trigger until Saturday &#8230; and then the attack commenced.&#8221;
Karl went on to say that he really believed Trump wanted &#8220;a Kim Jong Un moment&#8221; where Iran&#8217;s Supreme Leader came to the table and made an eleventh-hour deal, but that he made the decision to move forward with an attack when it was clear that would not happen.

&#8220;So, why did he keep it a secret — a surprise version?&#8221; Behar asked, apparently questioning why Trump did not broadcast his plans to attack prior to execution.
Karl said it was &#8220;absolutely a diversion,&#8221; adding, &#8220;all indications were that the B-2s were flying towards Guam, everybody thought, okay, we&#8217;re getting in position to be ready. They wanted to have some element of surprise.&#8221;

The View

Whoopi Goldberg took a wave of backlash after she used her platform on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; to claim that black Americans — even in the year 2025 — were no better off than Iranian citizens living under the brutal and oppressive Islamist government.
Goldberg and cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-view-goes-sideways-when-two-cohosts-claim-black-americans-are-worse-off-than-iranians">squared off</a> on the topic during Wednesday&#8217;s broadcast, when Griffin correctly pointed out the fact that an Iranian woman would likely be arrested — or worse — for stepping foot outside wearing even the relatively modest outfit she had on at the time. &#8220;I can’t have my hair showing, I can’t wear a skirt, I can’t have my arms out,&#8221; she said.
Goldberg apparently objected to the idea that Iranians were more oppressed than black Americans, and said, &#8220;Listen, here’s the thing — let’s not do the — let’s not do that, because if we start with that, we have been known in this country to tie gay folks to the car.&#8221;
“I’m sorry, but where the Iranian regime is today is nothing compared to the United States,” Griffin interjected, again correctly.
&#8220;They used to just keep hanging black people!&#8221; Goldberg exclaimed, and continued to press the point.
But much like their reaction when Goldberg claimed that the Holocaust was &#8220;not about race,&#8221; critics quickly made it clear that they were not buying her assertions.
Guy Benson drove the point home during an appearance on Fox News&#8217; &#8220;America&#8217;s Newsroom,&#8221; saying at first, &#8220;I call that show a daily national televised insane asylum for a reason.&#8221;

&#8220;Our government prosecutes hate crimes,&#8221; Benson added. &#8220;They don&#8217;t commit them as a matter of course.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) said that she doesn&#8217;t feel safe &#8220;at all&#8221; in the wake of the weekend shootings targeting Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota — and she argued that President Donald Trump should &#8220;reprioritize&#8221; money spent on things like the U.S. Army&#8217;s 250th birthday celebration on extra security for members of Congress.
Crockett joined the cohosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; for Thursday&#8217;s broadcast, where she referred to the Army&#8217;s 250th birthday celebration as President Trump&#8217;s &#8220;little birthday parade&#8221; as if he had simply been throwing himself a party. The show&#8217;s liberal cohosts made no attempt to correct her.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;Over the weekend, we saw a tragic and brazen act of political violence in this country,&#8221; cohost Sara Haines began. &#8220;A Minnesota Democratic representative and her husband and their dog were assassinated. Another lawmaker and his wife were gravely wounded, and the suspect had a long hit list. So, I want to ask you: Do you feel safe as an elected official in this political climate?&#8221;
&#8220;No, not at all,&#8221; Crockett replied. &#8220;Here’s the deal: I do this job and the fact that my safety is a part of doing this job is really bad in and of itself, but umm &#8230; while we spend millions upon millions just so this guy can go and golf or while they spent $45 million for his little birthday parade, you know, like, I’m just saying, can we reprioritize some of those dollars?&#8221;
Crockett went on to say that she wasn&#8217;t asking for a lot of money to be redirected, but noted that the only House members who were given any kind of security on an official basis were those who had leadership positions.
&#8220;We have nothing. The only people in the House that have protection, you get protection based upon your leadership post. That’s it. Those are the only ones,&#8221; she said. &#8220;So when you figure out security, you have to hopefully raise enough money to then be able to pay for security yourself. This is a problem, especially in light of the environment.&#8221;
&#8220;So I did text a Republican that I consider to be a friend — yes, I have Republican friends, just so y’all know. I did, and I said, &#8216;listen, your people need to fix this,'&#8221; she continued, making it clear that she believed the entirety of the threat was coming from the right. &#8220;Like, I’m tired, right? And there are Republicans that are concerned. To be clear, they’re not concerned about the radical leftists that they talk about. They’re concerned about MAGA, because we saw the same thing happen when we had the Speaker election, right? And so, when people are mad about them not voting for Jim Jordan, they started threatening their spouses and all kinds of stuff.&#8221;
&#8220;And another thing they’re not talking about that really ticked me off because I just learned about it in the midst of what happened is that someone has been sending pizzas to members’ homes and they’ve not done anything. So I’m just like, we still have a role to play. I get that nobody really likes the Congress, but I mean, we still are duly elected and we’re a co-equal branch of government, but we always seem like we’re the stepchild,&#8221; she concluded.
&#8220;Well, it makes it even more irresponsible knowing that as you said, they would come for a sophomore member of the House knowing that you’re not protected,&#8221; Haines agreed.
Cohost Joy Behar weighed in then, suggesting that Trump was &#8220;scared&#8221; of Crockett. &#8220;She’s tough and smart.&#8221;
&#8220;That doesn’t change the danger it puts her in,&#8221; Haines argued.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/karoline-leavitt-roasts-jasmine-crockett-in-press-room-i-hope-she-continues-to-be-a-rising-star">Crockett</a> did rate a mention during the White House press briefing on Thursday, when Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt weighed in on her recent podcast appearance with Katie Couric (&#8220;Next Question&#8221;). Crockett had told Couric that Trump&#8217;s supporters were essentially proof that the United States was going through a &#8220;mental health crisis.&#8221;
Leavitt responded by laughing and saying, &#8220;I hope [Crockett] continues to be a rising star, at least for Republicans.&#8221;

&#8220;The View&#8221; hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin claimed on Wednesday that black people in America were worse off than people living under Iran&#8217;s oppressive regime, a claim that was immediately challenged by others at the table.
During a broader conversation about the ongoing war between Israel and Iran, Hostin claimed that Israel&#8217;s strike on Iran had not been legal. Goldberg argued that the legality of Israel&#8217;s actions should be decided by international bodies like the United Nations. But when cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin suggested that they should consider the possibility that Iran was a bad actor, the whole conversation quickly went off the rails.

Actor and former governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger slammed the violent mobs rioting across the U.S. during his Thursday appearance on “The View,” criticizing illegal aliens for not acting as “guests.”
Joy Behar, one of the hosts of “The View,” attempted to bait the “Terminator” star by asking him if he had a “visceral reaction” to the ICE raids happening throughout the country, as he is an immigrant himself.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
“I am so proud and happy that I was embraced by the American people,” Schwarzenegger replied.
“Every single thing — if it’s my bodybuilding career, if it’s my acting career, becoming governor, the beautiful family that I’ve created — all of this is because of America. And so this is why I’m so, so happy [to] see first hand that this is the greatest country in the world and it is the land of opportunity.”
Schwarzenegger then announced that he will deliver a speech at Mount Vernon to celebrate the 250th birthday of America, where some immigrants will be sworn in as U.S. citizens, and that he is excited to celebrate the benefits of immigration.
“The key thing also is, at the same time, that you’ve got to do things [legally],” he clarified. “That is the important thing. Those people that are doing illegal things in America — and they’re the foreigners — they are not smart.”
As he spoke, multiple hosts attempted to interrupt him, with Sunny Hostin even placing her hand on Schwarzenegger’s arm as though she wanted him to stop speaking.
“When you come to America, you’re a guest and you have to behave like a guest,” Schwarzenegger stated. “Like, when I go to someone’s house and I’m a guest, I will do everything I can to keep things clean and to make my bed and to do everything that is the right thing to do rather than committing a crime or being abusive or something like that.”
Schwarzenegger has criticized the Trump administration and previously endorsed Kamala Harris’ presidential run, remaining one of the few Republicans to oppose Donald Trump. However, his rhetoric on “The View” conflicts with mainstream leftist views on the immigration crisis.
“The important thing is, when you become an immigrant, to think about — okay, I go to America because I want to use America for the great opportunities that America has in education, in jobs, [and in] creating a family. … Then you have to think about — okay, if I get all of those things from America, then I have to give something back. You have a responsibility as an immigrant to give back to America and to pay back America and to go and do something for your community for no money whatsoever. … Make this country a better place.” 
The hosts attempted to interrupt, but could not be heard after the audience erupted into applause.

Joy Behar predicted on Tuesday that President Donald Trump&#8217;s decision to deploy the National Guard to Los Angeles was likely to result another tragedy like the one that played out at Ohio&#8217;s Kent State University in May of 1970.
Behar made the comments during a regular broadcast of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View,&#8221; as she and her cohosts continued to complain about Trump and claim that the violent riots — where federal agents had been targeted and property had been destroyed — were peaceful and &#8220;orderly&#8221; until the National Guard arrived.
Whoopi Goldberg took the lead, claiming that videos of the violence were misleading because some news sources were not showing the peaceful parts of the protests. &#8220;It&#8217;s quite different when you&#8217;re talking to people in L.A.,&#8221; she said, adding that the riots had been &#8220;peaceful for days.&#8221;
&#8220;There is no crisis in Los Angeles that ICE did not cause. That&#8217;s the fact of the matter,&#8221; Sunny Hostin chimed in, saying the protests were &#8220;very, very orderly&#8221; and claiming that if immigration authorities had not showed up to enforce federal immigration law, there would be no problem.

Hostin followed that by restating her point from the day before — that Trump was &#8220;militarizing&#8221; the National Guard — and claiming that Trump was moving ahead with cracking down on Los Angeles because he wanted a &#8220;test run&#8221; for going after other &#8220;sanctuary cities.&#8221;
It was then that Behar invoked the memory of <a href="https://www.kent.edu/may-4-historical-accuracy">Kent State</a>, saying that bringing in the National Guard reminded her of the situation that had played out there in 1970 when anti-war (Vietnam) protesters had effectively cornered the National Guard troops who were brought in by then-Governor James Rhodes. Several of the National Guardsmen fired their weapons, killing four and wounding nine. A 1974 criminal trial against eight National Guardsmen was dismissed by District Judge Frank Battisti mid-trial after he said that the prosecution&#8217;s case was so weak that the defense need not present its case at all.
&#8220;You know, and sometimes kids get killed when this happens. In my day, it was Kent State and they killed four kids, American students, and nine were injured very severely in those days, and I think that they&#8217;ve got to be very careful what they&#8217;re doing because that&#8217;s the next thing that will happen,&#8221; Behar said.

Ana Navarro claimed that by deploying the U.S. Army National Guard to Los Angeles — amid violent riots that were targeting federal agents — President Donald Trump was using them to set a &#8220;trap&#8221; for Latinos and force them into a violent reaction.
Navarro made the comments during Monday&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;The View&#8221; on ABC, as she and her cohosts attacked the Trump administration first for sending Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to enforce federal immigration laws and then for sending in the National Guard when protesters violently attacked the federal agents.
&#8220;Today, he is sending in the National Guard to attack the protesters who are there,&#8221; Navarro — who immigrated to the United States legally — said, suggesting that the point of bringing the National Guard in was for them to attack the protesters. &#8220;And look, this for me hits really close, I&#8217;m Latino, I&#8217;m an immigrant, these are my people who are getting dragged through the streets.&#8221;
She went on to warn the Latino community that Trump had sent the National Guard to goad them into committing acts of violence. &#8220;We must be strategic, we must be nonviolent.

&#8220;The View&#8221; host Sunny Hostin claimed during a Monday broadcast that President Donald Trump was &#8220;militarizing&#8221; the U.S. Army National Guard when he deployed troops to quell the violent protests in Los Angeles, arguing that by doing so, he would ultimately set the stage for a &#8220;civil war.&#8221;
Hostin discussed the ongoing protests in Los Angeles — as well as the Trump administration&#8217;s efforts to protect federal agents as the protests got more and more violent — with her fellow cohosts on the ABC midday talk show, and they complained that Trump&#8217;s plan to deport criminal illegal aliens was the real problem.
&#8220;The Defense Department has the U.S. Marines on high alert right now,&#8221; cohost Whoopi Goldberg began in mocking tones. &#8220;Now, you know, is it warranted or does this sort of escalate the situation? I mean, whatever happened to state&#8217;s rights?&#8221;
&#8220;I thought that what&#8217;s you do, &#8217;cause you tell the state that this is what you&#8217;re thinking, you know, you don&#8217;t just send people in, you don&#8217;t just send troops in,&#8221; Goldberg claimed. &#8220;But what do I know, I&#8217;ve never run a state? But I don&#8217;t really — when you come in and everyone is — when you go into the doughnut shop to look for people and you&#8217;re dressed in tactical gear, you&#8217;re creating an issue. You&#8217;re creating a problem.&#8221;

Hostin jumped in then, claiming that Trump was &#8220;militarizing&#8221; the National Guard — despite its existence as a state-based military force since 1636 and being attached to the United States Army officially in 1933 — by sending troops to keep the peace after protesters attacked ICE agents and their vehicles.
&#8220;I think what really matters from sort of a long view here is the fact that he is militarizing and deploying the Guard for the purpose of policing Americans&#8217; protest activity, our freedom of speech, our freedom of assembly,&#8221; Hostin insisted, suggesting that the National Guard had been brought in to silence the protesters rather than to keep them from damaging more property and hurting people.

Hostin went on to argue that &#8220;an army turned inside&#8221; to police the citizens within the country would ultimately result in &#8220;chaos and fascism.&#8221;
&#8220;And civil war,&#8221; she agreed as Goldberg prompted her. &#8220;I think that&#8217;s the way we need to look at it because deploying the National Guard is supposed to be a last resort.&#8221;
Hostin then claimed that Trump had promised to deploy the National Guard anywhere in the country that protests occurred. What Trump has actually said, on a number of occasions, was that the federal government would step in and shut down violent riots if and when it became apparent that local authorities — in this case, Mayor Karen Bass (D-LA) and Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) — were either unable or unwilling to do so.

‘The View’ Host Claims Trump Is ‘Militarizing’ National Guard, And ‘Civil War’ Is Coming

Civil War

Whoopi Goldberg came unglued during Thursday’s broadcast of “The View” on ABC, claiming even after living through all eight years of former President Barack Obama’s time in office, people keep telling her America “can’t elect a black man.”
Goldberg made the comment while complaining about the fact that, at least in her mind, Governor Wes Moore (D-MD) was not getting the kind of national buzz that she thought he deserved.
She began by claiming that she herself was so independent politically that even the term “independent” did not go far enough to describe her.

Sunny Hostin began the conversation, saying that Goldberg, to her knowledge, had “been independent for a while.”
&#8220;There’s no name for what I am,” Goldberg replied, prompting laughter from the audience as she went on to explain her point further. “There’s no name. Because there are some things that fit what I want and some things that don’t. And I am the crazy person who said, ‘Why don’t we have a Democratic president and a Republican vice president?’”
Her cohosts recalled that she had, in fact, suggested that arrangement in the past.

“I believe that the only way to get stuff done is to have both parties represented at the same time — and people keep telling me I’m crazy,” she continued.
Goldberg went on to mention Moore, calling him a “perfect candidate” — and cohost Sara Haines agreed, interjecting, “I love Wes Moore.”
“But people are saying, ‘You can’t elect a black man,’” Goldberg complained, asking, “Why not?”
Her cohosts pointed out that the United States had elected a black man — former President Obama — twice, and while Goldberg conceded the point, she claimed that had done nothing to deter the people who continued to tell her that such a thing could not be done.

&#8220;The View&#8221; co-host Sunny Hostin claimed on Wednesday that billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk was responsible — through cuts suggested by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) project — for the loss of some 300,000 lives, who were &#8220;mostly children.&#8221;
Hostin made the comments during the ABC midday broadcast of &#8220;The View,&#8221; where she argued that even though Musk was stepping away from a more central role within President Donald Trump&#8217;s inner circle, he and his counterparts at DOGE had already done immeasurable damage.

&#8220;But the damage that he did was just really incredible,&#8221; Hostin said. &#8220;He slashed 250,000 federal employees, more than 8500 contracts, more than 10,000 grants, and his cutbacks on medical research cost the lives of — the foreign aid — cost 300,000 lives, mostly children.&#8221;
&#8220;That&#8217;s the damage that Elon Musk did, so I don&#8217;t think anyone should be listening to him about anything,&#8221; she insisted.
The rest of Hostin&#8217;s co-hosts joined the pile-on a bit later, but they also were quick to suggest that Trump might need to watch his step as Musk exits the administration.

In a moment that recalled former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton&#8217;s frustrated exclamation during the Benghazi hearings, &#8220;The View&#8221; host Whoopi Goldberg lashed out at everyone who has been questioning former President Joe Biden&#8217;s cognitive and physical fitness for the job he held until January 20.
&#8220;Why is this important to know now?&#8221; she demanded to know during Tuesday&#8217;s broadcast — the same day that &#8220;Original Sin,&#8221; the book from CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson on Biden&#8217;s obvious decline, hit bookstores everywhere.

Golberg began by attacking the authors&#8217; reliance on &#8220;anonymous sources&#8221; to write the book — and wondered why those people, if they were willing to provide such damning information after the fact, had not been willing to speak up earlier.
&#8220;But my question is, why is this important to know now?&#8221; Goldberg asked — sounding much like Clinton, who during the Benghazi hearings had asked, &#8220;What difference, at this point, does it make?&#8221;
&#8220;It just seems to me, you know, we got a lot of stuff to be concerned about at the moment,&#8221; she continued, suggesting that it no longer mattered that Biden&#8217;s decline was hidden from the American people even thought many of the people responsible for hiding it were still in positions of influence and power.
Alyssa Farah Griffin pushed back on the rest of her cohosts, saying that if they wanted to claim they were supportive of a free press, they couldn&#8217;t attack the press when it reported things they didn&#8217;t like.

The hosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; complained during Monday&#8217;s broadcast about former President Joe Biden&#8217;s cancer diagnosis and people who might bring politics into it — immediately after which they injected their own politics by trying to make it about President Donald Trump.
Whoopi Goldberg started the ball rolling, reacting on the show to the news that Biden — who had just appeared on the show a little over a week earlier — had been diagnosed with an advanced and &#8220;aggressive form&#8221; of prostate cancer that had metastasized to his bones.
Goldberg laughed off claims that there was any cover-up regarding Biden&#8217;s health or cognitive fitness, and then used a clip from his recent appearance — where former First Lady Jill Biden had been forced to step in and help him answer a question — as proof that he was fine.
She then complained that the new revelation regarding his cancer diagnosis would only &#8220;add fuel to the fire&#8221; for those who already believed that the Bidens had not been telling the truth about his condition. Her assessment was that it was time for everyone to simply &#8220;put politics aside.&#8221;
