Whoopi Goldberg used an appearance by trans-identifying influencer Dylan Mulvaney on Monday to defend biological men invading women&#8217;s and girls&#8217; athletics and private spaces.
Goldberg and her cohosts on ABC News&#8217; &#8220;The View&#8221; invited Mulvaney, a biological male who skyrocketed to Insta-fame by documenting his transition into a parody of a teenage girl, to discuss his book about becoming said parody. Mulvaney added insult to injury, invading women&#8217;s spaces once again by releasing the book on International Women&#8217;s Day.
Goldberg and her cohosts <a href="https://x.com/NickFondacaro/status/1899148581061251430">raved over Mulvaney anyway during Monday&#8217;s broadcast</a>.
Cohost Ana Navarro mentioned one anecdote regarding a biological woman who identified as transgender and competed against males, suggesting that somehow made the hundreds of trans-identifying males taking medals, awards, scholarships, and roster spots from women acceptable.
&#8220;Well, I think part of the problem that the trans community is facing, and it&#8217;s the same problem that women face, is if you don&#8217;t know anything about our bodies, you don&#8217;t know how it works,&#8221; Goldberg claimed, immediately affirming trans-identifying men as no different from women.
&#8220;So when you come in and say, &#8216;These men — these are men, you know, competing against women,&#8217; you&#8217;re assuming that the women are weak and just can&#8217;t do anything except be here,&#8221; she continued in mocking tones. &#8220;Have you seen female athletes? They know what they&#8217;re doing.&#8221;
&#8220;So I&#8217;m not sure what&#8217;s going on or why this is an issue. The same for me is when people say oh, you know, &#8216;I don&#8217;t know how I feel about you.&#8217; You do. God doesn&#8217;t make mistakes,&#8221; Goldberg asserted, despite the fact that the idea that people can be born the &#8220;wrong&#8221; gender is predicated on the possibility of God making mistakes.
&#8220;The challenge is not to the trans people, it&#8217;s to the people who are not trans. That&#8217;s what God is looking at to see how you treat people,&#8221; she insisted. &#8220;That&#8217;s what — that&#8217;s what is happening.&#8221;

&#8220;The View&#8221; host Whoopi Goldberg admitted during Tuesday&#8217;s broadcast of the midday talk show that she used her platform on ABC News to help spread Democratic talking points.
Goldberg and her cohosts spent a good part of the show sparring with Stephen A. Smith, who argued that Democrats so far appear to be learning all the wrong lessons from their losses in the 2024 election cycle.

Smith argued that the 2024 election was not so much about President Donald Trump and the Republicans &#8220;winning&#8221; as it was about the Democrats losing because they couldn&#8217;t get a handle on a message that resonated with the American people.
&#8220;It&#8217;s not about him winning. It was an indictment against the Democratic Party and what the Democratic Party was offering the American citizens,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We might sit up here and talk about, hey, you should be a party for the working class, which the Democratic Party was once known for — they&#8217;re not known for that right now. Why? Because their message was catering towards others and towards other issues.&#8221;
&#8220;The forgot about the people that brought them there, that elevated the Democratic Party to what it was over these last few decades. That&#8217;s why they lost. He didn&#8217;t win, the Democrats lost,&#8221; Smith insisted.
&#8220;Let&#8217;s remind people what those issues were,&#8221; Goldberg replied. &#8220;Making sure that families had what they need &#8230; making sure stuff is there. Making sure that the America we all grew up in, where you could come and be whoever you were supposed to be or want to be, you still have that right.&#8221;
&#8220;All these things are the things the Democrats have always said, but now we have a guy who&#8217;s in who says you know, I&#8217;m gonna bring down the price of eggs, but first I&#8217;m gonna cut all these jobs,&#8221; Goldberg continued. &#8220;And I&#8217;m not gonna see why they need to be cut, I&#8217;m just gonna cut them &#8230; that&#8217;s what he&#8217;s doing.&#8221;

&#8220;Oh, yes, it was. I was here. We did it!&#8221; Goldberg exclaimed.

Sunny Hostin claimed on Monday that it was &#8220;un-Godly&#8221; and &#8220;not Christian&#8221; to oppose woke culture, arguing that people who did so only proved that they did not care about their neighbors.
Hostin and &#8220;The View&#8221; cohost Whoopi Goldberg discussed their own personal histories, saying that because they had always been around people who were fighting for things like Civil Rights and other issues, they had &#8220;never been asleep.&#8221;
&#8220;I thought about the conversations that you and I have had, Whoopi, so many times about the co-opting of the word &#8216;woke,'&#8221; Hostin began. &#8220;And the fact that the right somehow has made it a dirty word.&#8221;
&#8220;To be woke is a word that came out of the African American community and it was about being — acknowledging social justice inequities, acknowledging people&#8217;s suffering,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;It&#8217;s not a bad thing to care about other people, to care about the sufferings of others, and to act upon it.&#8221;
&#8220;And so Whoopi will often tell me, &#8216;I&#8217;ve never been asleep,'&#8221; she added. &#8220;And that&#8217;s how I feel &#8230; so it angers me when people are like, &#8216;This woke stuff gotta go.&#8217; That&#8217;s telling me that you don&#8217;t care about my lived experience, you don&#8217;t care about the oppression of the LGBTQ community, you don&#8217;t care about the oppression of the disabled, you don&#8217;t care about the oppression of immigrants, you don&#8217;t care about your fellow neighbors — and that is un-Godly, that is not Christian.&#8221;

Goldberg weighed in as well, saying that being exposed to &#8220;woke&#8221; was what actually made people better and arguing that positive change could really only be made by making people uncomfortable.

Whoopi Goldberg took a page from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton&#8217;s &#8220;basket of deplorables&#8221; playbook, admitting during Monday&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;The View&#8221; that she can&#8217;t even talk to people who support President Donald Trump.
Goldberg still refuses to say Trump&#8217;s name aloud on the show — instead opting for terms like &#8220;the man in the White House&#8221; or &#8220;you know who&#8221; — and she made it clear on Monday that her disdain extended to half of the American people who voted for him.
The conversation began with cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin, who noted that Trump had spent his time away from the White House between terms working on building out his agenda and planning how he could implement it — efforts that have been paying off during his first month in office.
&#8220;One of the things he is excellent at, and the media takes the bait often, is he writes himself into every story,&#8221; Griffin said. &#8220;He didn&#8217;t just do the Super Bowl interview, he attended the Super Bowl &#8230; he is working in a 21st century media environment that is outpacing traditional media but also the opposition. I think Dems are kind of playing on a 1990s playbook of, like, if I go speak on the Senate floor if I go on &#8216;Meet the Press,&#8217; it&#8217;s going to stop him.&#8221;

The hosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; took their commentary a few steps lower on Thursday when, during a segment devoted almost entirely to complaining about billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, they took a brief time out to mock his four-year-old son over his unusual name, X Æ A-XII.
The cohosts were responding to a televised briefing from the Oval Office during which Musk laid out some of what he had been uncovering with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) project. President Donald Trump sat behind the resolute desk throughout the briefing, and Musk stood at his right shoulder. &#8220;Lil X,&#8221; as Musk calls his son, was also in the room at the time — a fact that did not escape Goldberg&#8217;s attention.

Not everyone took the same approach as Goldberg and her cohosts, however.

The hosts of ABC News&#8217; &#8220;The View&#8221; attempted to explain President Donald Trump&#8217;s use of tariffs — or the threat of tariffs — during Monday&#8217;s broadcast, and aside from a brief moment of lucidity from Alyssa Farah Griffin, got everything wrong.
Griffin opened the discussion by noting that Trump&#8217;s threats had already succeeded in bringing Mexico and Canada to the negotiating table — and that both had pledged to aid in his efforts to control the flow of illegal immigrants and lethal drugs across the border and into the United States.
She then pivoted to warn that she believed Trump might be moving toward a more isolationist policy, which she claimed could lead to American allies siding with China instead.

Cohost Sara Haines complained about the price of eggs, which skyrocketed due to an outbreak of bird flu before Trump even took office, and suggested that this was somehow tied to Trump&#8217;s tariff threats.
&#8220;Why aren&#8217;t the price of eggs getting better? This was the other part he promised which was tariffs,&#8221; she said, suggesting that the people making less than $50,000 who voted for him &#8221; in spades&#8221; were getting what they voted for, and it was going to hurt them the most.

&#8220;The View&#8221; host Whoopi Goldberg ripped into White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Wednesday, scolding her for being critical of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies and suggested that without &#8220;wokeness,&#8221; she might not have a job in President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration.
&#8220;I would like — this young lady who&#8217;s — this is her first job, I would like her to do a little homework, because she said something yesterday that really pissed me off,&#8221; Goldberg began. &#8220;And that was, she said, &#8216;There will be no wokeness here.'&#8221;
&#8220;Let me explain something to you because without that wokeness, you might not have that job,&#8221; Goldberg continued. &#8220;Because women were not invited to that table. Women were not invited to many tables in this nation. The reason we fought and busted our behinds to make sure that you didn&#8217;t have to worry about this.&#8221;

&#8220;I will say this: I feel a lot better when I know there are standards people have to meet,&#8221; she said, and her cohosts agreed with her. &#8220;And so, you can bring in whoever you want, the truth will — the proof will be in the pudding.

The hosts of ABC News&#8217; midday talk show &#8220;The View&#8221; aired what amounted to a collective temper tantrum on Tuesday, complaining about the fact that President Donald Trump had unshackled federal agents and tasked them with enforcing immigration law.
The broadcast began with regular host Whoopi Goldberg, who responded to actress Selena Gomez&#8217; tearful video claiming that her &#8220;people&#8221; were being attacked. Goldberg then falsely claimed that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were indiscriminately sweeping up any and all illegal immigrants for immediate deportation.
Border czar <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/homan-ice-has-made-1300-arrests-including-pedophiles-gang-members-and-at-least-1-terrorist" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tom Homan</a>, who spoke to NewsNation host Chris Cuomo last week, explained that the agents are targeting criminal aliens first — meaning those who have committed additional crimes beyond simply entering the United States illegally — but that because some of them are hiding in sanctuary jurisdictions, there have also been some &#8220;collateral&#8221; arrests.
Goldberg complained that the Trump administration was not beginning by deporting people who were already in prison because they&#8217;d been convicted of crimes. Joy Behar, ignoring the fact that they were American citizens and had already been pardoned, claimed that Trump couldn&#8217;t do that because he&#8217;d &#8220;have to send the January 6th people back too.&#8221;

Cohost Sara Haines complained that no one was providing details to the public about who had been detained by ICE and what their alleged crimes might be — but the White House has, in fact, been posting the photos and rap sheets of some of the worst offenders that have been picked up thus far in raids across the country.

Sunny Hostin pivoted to play the race card, claiming that &#8220;undocumented immigrants&#8221; statistically committed fewer crimes than American citizens, and then parsed the language to say that it was racist to call someone &#8220;illegal&#8221; and argued that illegal aliens should not be called &#8220;criminals&#8221; because crossing the border illegally was technically a &#8220;civil offense.&#8221;

Alyssa Farah Griffin weighed in then, noting that the American people would not be convinced by statistics as long as their personal experiences told a different story.

‘The View’ Hosts Air Collective Temper Tantrum Over Trump Admin Deporting Criminals

'The View' Hosts Air Collective Temper Tantrum Over Trump Admin Deporting Criminals

&#8220;The View&#8221; host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/whoopi-goldberg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Whoopi Goldberg</a> — with an assist from cohost Joy Behar — suggested that entrepreneur Elon Musk and Vice President-elect JD Vance were plotting a hostile takeover to gain control of the White House.
During Thursday&#8217;s broadcast of the ABC midday talk show, Goldberg wondered about the amount of influence Musk was having on policy as Trump&#8217;s inauguration approaches.
Noting that she was not the only person questioning &#8220;who is in charge,&#8221; she added, &#8220;I&#8217;ve been saying it for a while. I&#8217;ve been saying that Elon Musk believes he&#8217;s president. I do.&#8221;
&#8220;Well, you&#8217;ve been calling him vice president,&#8221; Behar interjected.
&#8220;I called him vice president, I called him president, because I don&#8217;t know what JD is doing,&#8221; Goldberg continued. &#8220;I hardly ever — I don&#8217;t — I don&#8217;t remember the last time we even talked about JD.&#8221;
&#8220;He&#8217;s planning the presidency when they get rid of Trump,&#8221; Behar said.
&#8220;So you think it&#8217;s Musk — Musk-Vance?&#8221; Goldberg asked.

&#8220;It&#8217;s possible,&#8221; Behar replied.
Goldberg then turned to the camera, addressing Trump directly despite the fact that she still refuses to say his name aloud: &#8220;Hey, You-Know-Who, stay away from the stairways.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
By the time the show came back from commercial break, Goldberg had apparently thought better of suggesting that someone might try to kill Trump and take control of the presidency.
&#8220;Okay, I need to clean something up,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Because my cat lays in wait for me on my stairs all the time and that&#8217;s what I was referring — I was thinking of that, I wasn&#8217;t trying to indicate that they were actually standing there with their legs out, hoping he would trip.&#8221;
&#8220;No one wants anything done to the president,&#8221; cohost Sunny Hostin added.
&#8220;It was light-hearted and it&#8217;s the holidays, come on,&#8221; she complained. &#8220;My goodness!&#8221;
&#8220;We did not mean that anybody should hurt the president,&#8221; Hostin said again.
Critics quickly pointed out the fact that &#8220;The View&#8221; falls under ABC&#8217;s &#8220;news&#8221; division — and that the network just agreed on Saturday to shell out millions over &#8220;This Week&#8221; anchor George Stephanopoulos&#8217; on-air false claims that President-elect Donald Trump had been found &#8220;liable for rape&#8221; in the E.

Whoopi Airs Fever Dream On Live TV, Says Musk And Vance Could Be Plotting Hostile Takeover

JD Vance

Whoopi Goldberg added to the already rampant conspiracy theories about recent drone sightings over the East Coast, suggesting that they would soon span the entire nation&#8217;s airspace in preparation for a large New Year&#8217;s Eve party.
Goldberg shared her take on Monday&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;The View&#8221; on ABC, following days of sightings that seem to have centered over northern New Jersey — and multiple accounts from local officials who say they can&#8217;t identify what they are or where they&#8217;ve come from.

Her suggestion prompted laughs from around the table, and she continued, &#8220;Well, why not? Stranger things have happened.&#8221;
Goldberg&#8217;s comments come after a series of Biden administration officials have addressed the situation, all suggesting that they <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mayorkas-claims-americans-have-nothing-to-worry-about-over-drone-sightings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">do not know</a> for certain what people are seeing but nevertheless insisting that there is no risk to the general public.

Whoopi Floats Strangest Theory Yet To Explain Drones Over East Coast

"Well, why not?" she asked.

New Jersey

The hosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View,&#8221; for the most part, were less than thrilled that a New York jury acquitted Marine veteran Daniel Penny on Monday in the death of Jordan Neely — who boasted an impressive rap sheet, and had been verbally threatening people on the subway before Penny stepped in.
Cohost Whoopi Goldberg began by arguing that Penny was somehow out of line when he went to a bar in Manhattan to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/attorney-speaks-out-patrons-celebrate-daniel-penny-at-nyc-bar-after-acquittal">celebrate his acquittal</a>. She added that she believed the overall outcome of the case was proof that the justice system had failed.
“He celebrated the verdict with his lawyer while Neely’s family was mourning the loss,” she said.

Goldberg went on to say that she was bothered by the fact that the Marine veteran had chosen to toast his freedom at a bar: “I don’t know that seeing them celebrating in a bar made me comfortable.”
She then addressed the verdict itself, arguing that it was a “failure of the court” that Penny was not convicted. She said that Neely’s behavior could have stemmed from his mother’s murder and argued that everyone — from the hospitals to the courts — had failed him.

Cohosts Whoopi Goldberg and Ana Navarro faced off over whether or not people could truly celebrate the coming holiday season with the second inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump looming ever closer once they pass.
During Monday&#8217;s broadcast of the ABC midday talk show, Goldberg advised viewers to do what they could to &#8220;take care of&#8221; their friends and families, saying that there was no way to really predict or plan for what might happen further down the road: &#8220;Whatever he&#8217;s going to do, he&#8217;s going to do.&#8221;
Goldberg began by saying everyone should be &#8220;making sure that we are taking care of ourselves and our families.&#8221;
&#8220;Do take our word for it,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Things seem to move slowly, because, yeah, they didn&#8217;t come get Hillary. But he has other people who are ready to go, but I don&#8217;t think that they can just go out and do what they want to do.&#8221;
Everyone began talking at once, but after a moment, Navarro&#8217;s voice broke through.
&#8220;I told you last week, I disagree with you when you say that because — no, because we have the luxury of saying that because we&#8217;re legal, we are successful, we are — if you&#8217;re an illegal immigrant in this country, you&#8217;re not going to be not in a panic,&#8221; she said. &#8220;If you are a woman working in the Department of Defense, you have a right to be in a panic.&#8221;
