&#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;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
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.

Whoopi Goldberg

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.

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;

The hosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; complained about President Donald Trump&#8217;s plan to lower the cost of prescription drugs for Americans — but as Whoopi Goldberg laid out her objections, it appeared as though her main objection was the fact that Trump was doing what Democrats had not been able to do thus far.
Goldberg started off the conversation during Tuesday&#8217;s broadcast by asserting that Trump&#8217;s plan was bad because he had not yet specified which drugs he was talking about, nor had he explained which health insurance plans might be impacted by any new policies.
&#8220;Well, again, he didn&#8217;t specify which drugs he was going to target — or which insurance programs would be impacted,&#8221; she complained. &#8220;Because you see, if you&#8217;re going to lower the price of the drugs, you gotta first fix the broken insurance company,&#8221; Goldberg laughed. &#8220;Because they are — it doesn&#8217;t make any sense.&#8221;

&#8220;But there are lobbyists in other countries, too,&#8221; cohost Sara Haines pushed back.

Griffin then said that her main issue with the plan was the potential for enforcement of lowered prices, which she said veered too close to Soviet-style price controls for her tastes.
Goldberg then responded by arguing that the infusion of socialism into the health care system — the raising of taxes on everyone to make sure that the government could absorb the costs of drugs so that those who needed medication were able to afford it — was not actually socialism.
&#8220;It&#8217;s not socialism,&#8221; she insisted. &#8220;It&#8217;s best for the country if everyone can afford their health care!&#8221;

Whoopi Goldberg launched into a tirade against President Donald Trump on Tuesday, complaining that his recently-announced tariff on films made outside the United States amounted to an attempt to control the kind of movies that could be made.
Goldberg and her cohosts mocked Trump&#8217;s latest tariff announcement — a 100% tariff on movies made outside the United States — and kicked off the conversation by saying that Trump should deal with the egg prices (which have come down considerably since they peaked in March) before he worries about Hollywood.
&#8220;Okay, look,&#8221; Goldberg began. &#8220;You can&#8217;t do that because what that equates to is you&#8217;re going to tell me how to write the story I want to write if it happens in Europe, you&#8217;re telling me that if my book comes out and I want to write it, you&#8217;re telling me how to write it.

Cohost Sara Haines defended Schumer, arguing that allowing the government to shut down would likely have ultimately hurt Democrats.
&#8220;I think that he had two awful options, and this was the one that he chose, and I actually agree. A government shutdown never looks good on the party that seems to be the one that&#8217;s asking for it,&#8221; Haines said, adding that by allowing a shutdown and inviting that criticism, Democrats would be &#8220;taking the target off their back, Trump and Elon Musk, and putting it all on the Democrats&#8221; instead.

Cohost Ana Navarro objected immediately, telling Haines, &#8220;I love you but I don&#8217;t buy that explanation from you.&#8221;
&#8220;This is just take off all the guardrails and let them do whatever the hell they want,&#8221; Haines said.
&#8220;I think that when the Democratic base is hearing Chuck Schumer say, &#8216;The reason that I&#8217;m going to support this funding bill is because if not it&#8217;s going to give Trump and Elon the power to fire federal workers and to get rid of departments,&#8221; Navarro said, adding, &#8220;They&#8217;re already doing that! So it&#8217;s, like, me saying, okay, you know what? I&#8217;m going to get out of the shower but I&#8217;m not going to go outside and stand in the rain because I&#8217;m already wet. They&#8217;re already soaking wet! They&#8217;re already fired!&#8221;
&#8220;Okay so you don&#8217;t care about —&#8221; Haines objected.
&#8220;It doesn&#8217;t matter what I care about it&#8217;s already happening!&#8221; Navarro shot back.
Cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin also said it was wise for Schumer to prevent a government shutdown, but argued that the Democrats&#8217; messaging had not been the best.

If you think about it, Republicans would have had to own that government shutdown.&#8221;
Hostin claimed that because Republicans have slim majorities in the House and the Senate — even though it was only Democrats who could have forced or prevented a shutdown — they would have shouldered the blame for any ensuing shutdown.

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;You&#8217;re talking about what he&#8217;s doing,&#8221; Smith pushed back. &#8220;But before you brought that up, you brought up the message that the Democratic Party was disseminating. I&#8217;m challenging you on that. That is not what they were 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.
