U.S. — Longtime daytime talk show "The View" has announced that next season will feature an all-new cast of angry middle-aged women. After years of occasional changes among the show's personalities, ABC has moved to replace all five of the previous hosts, though it is sticking with the archetype of emotional middle-aged women. "We're ready for a fresh set of high-pitched, seething voices," said showrunner Denette Holman. "The chemistry we are seeing in the new group of hosts is wonderful. The rants, the cattiness, the imminent menopause, it's all there. We're looking forward to a great season." Focus groups...

The investigation "threatens to limit news coverage of political candidates and chill core First Amendment-protected speech for years and potentially decades to come," ABC says.The Walt Disney Co.’s ABC network and its Houston TV station KTRK responded to the FCC‘s equal-time investigation into The View by calling it “unprecedented” and an affront to free speech in a blistering letter asking for a declaratory ruling. “Uncertainty as to the scope of broadcast licensees’ editorial discretion threatens to limit news coverage of political candidates and chill core First Amendment-protected speech for years and potentially decades to come,” the filing states. “The Commission’s...

The pure evil co-hosts of ABC News’s The View were openly happy that President Trump and the present cabinet officials were in fear for their lives during the assassination attempt at Saturday’s White House Correspondents Dinner. During their Monday discussion of the attack, co-host Ana Navarro was glad the officials feared they would be killed because they finally knew what school students felt like during an active shooter. The rest of the cast provided ZERO pushback, only agreement was expressed. Before sharing her happiness for Trump fearing his murder, Navarro falsely claimed Trump never called for unity nor for people...

Whoopi Goldberg: This will come as interesting surprise to everyone. Do you know who just lost one of his biggest supporters over the ongoing war in Iran? Far-right commentator Tucker Carlson says he regrets ever helping to put you-know-who in the White House. Take a look. You and I and everyone else who supported him, you wrote speeches for him, I campaigned for him. I mean, we're implicated in this, for sure. Yes. It's not enough to say, well, I changed my mind, or like, oh, this is bad, I'm out. It's like in very small ways, but in real...

...and I had this little debate at my kitchen table with my husband this week, and I was saying Trump is historically unpopular. And my husband actually pointed out and was accurate in the fact that he's historically unpopular for this point in his second term, but presidents have been more unpopular. George W. Bush, Harry Truman, Nixon, George HW Bush, all got into the 20s. Trump's at about 37... So on the one hand, I think the argument that the MAGA base is fleeing in droves is a little overstated. But on the flip side, 37% is not winning...

AI can lead mentally unwell people to some pretty dark places, as a number of recent news stories have taught us. Now researchers think sycophantic AI is actually having a harmful effect on everyone. In reviewing 11 leading AI models and human responses to interactions with those models across various scenarios, a team of Stanford researchers concluded in a paper published Thursday that AI sycophancy is prevalent, harmful, and reinforces trust in the very models that mislead their users. "Even a single interaction with sycophantic AI reduced participants' willingness to take responsibility and repair interpersonal conflicts, while increasing their own...

Whoopi Goldberg cheerfully confessed she bar hops as a way to fulfill her sexual needs. On Wednesday’s episode of “The View,” Goldberg noted, “A woman wrote an article in Cosmopolitan, admitting that she fantasizes about being single even though she’s in a very happy longterm relationship.” “She writes that sometimes, she finds herself missing the days of casual flings and bar-hopping,” Goldberg continued as the audience giggled. The “Ghost” actress then turned to her co-hosts for a reaction, to which Joy Behar responded, “Do you miss those days?” Goldberg quipped, “I am single,” adding, “Yeah, I bar hop, I go...

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is singlehandedly shifting the Overton window for what’s acceptable to be said on The View. As the panel was trashing Kristi Noem, she set off a grenade by making ironclad arguments for a closed border. “How many people in the audience had to go through security to get here? Raise your hand.” HASSELBECK: “I think all lives matter to God.” “And we are in uncommon times, so we need to have uncommon sense about things like this.” “Yes, there will be mistakes made, but I think if Kristi Noem were up for promotion right now and she put...

Don't. Just don't. I say this as a pastor, not a pundit. When I first saw this clip of Andy Beshear on The View, invoking his faith to defend the medical mutilation of children, my stomach dropped. Not because I was surprised. Because I was grieved. “My faith teaches me that all children are children of God, and I didn’t want people picking on those kids.” I have buried children. I have prayed with parents in ICU waiting rooms. I have sat with teenagers drowning in confusion and shame. I have walked families through seasons where the pain felt unbearable....

A man in a three-month coma credits ‘The View’ for saving his life. A nurse put ‘The View’ on his room TV. The man woke up and changed the channel.

Muslim Brotherhood TV host explains under what circumstances Christian girls can be raped. “Allah allows Muslim men to rape non-Muslim women to humiliate them.” The Qur’an permits men to have sexual access to “what their right hands possess,” meaning female captives or slaves (Q. 23.5-6; 70.29-30).

UH-OH: Whoopi Goldberg and Other Members of 'The View' Are Mentioned in the Epstein Files | Mike LaChance, The Gateway Pundit The ladies of The View have been harping on the Epstein Files for months.

The far-left ladies of The View suffered yet another on-air meltdown this week after longtime anti-Trump commentator Ana Navarro dared to break ranks and inject reality into a discussion about U.S. policy toward Venezuela, triggering a full-blown freakout from co-host Sunny Hostin and snide interjections from Joy Behar. As President Trump’s Operation Absolute Resolve continues to secure freedom for the Venezuelan people and protect American interests, the legal “experts” on the Left are mourning the loss of a Marxist regime. The segment, which was supposed to be another routine Trump-bashing session, quickly spiraled out of control when Navarro refused to...

1.9.26Sunny Hostin stood alone in opposing the capture of Nicolás Maduro, branding it “kidnapping.” She rejected the panel’s consensus outright, insisting that Maduro should face justice only through the International Criminal Court.Allyson Farah shot back.“I don’t think the ICC can be trusted,” she said—pointing to its paralysis and selective enforcement, even as Russia continues to commit atrocities with little consequence.If you want it even more aggressive or more concise, here’s an alternate, punchier version:Sunny Hostin was the sole dissenter, dismissing Maduro’s capture as “kidnapping” and lecturing the panel that justice must be left exclusively to the ICC.Allyson Farah didn’t let...

The audience of The View was stunned after one of the hosts defended Trump's arrest of Maduro, going against the stances held by her fellow liberal panel members. The talk show opened its episode this morning with a conversation about the astonishing capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on January 3, to which co-host Ana Navarro, who was born in Nicaragua, said she shed tears of joy. Navarro, a Republican but a vocal critic of President Trump, listed why she and other Hispanics are celebrating the ousting of the dictator, only to be interrupted by co-host Sunny Hostin, who asked:...

Several beauty trends for conservative women have emerged this year, some with a certain underlying level of humor—from the so-called Mar-a-Lago face to the "conservative girl" makeup. What all these trends have in common under the umbrella of MAGA beauty is an emphasis on hyperfeminine attire—sky-high stilettos, fitting skirts, bouncy hair, full-coverage makeup, and conspicuous plastic surgery. Greene said that while she had not previously spoken up against these trends, she disliked them. “I believe how women in leadership present themselves sends a message to younger women,” she told The New York Times. In an interview with The New York...

Clueless leftist “comedian” Whoopi Goldberg was forced to apologize and issue a correction just minutes after falsely claiming President Donald Trump did not comment on the Brown University shooting. As a reminder, Trump offered his condolences less than two hours after the campus tragedy, which left two students dead and nine others injured. On Monday’s episode of “The View,” Goldberg attacked Trump, claiming he had said nothing about the Dec. 13 Brown shooting or the Dec. 14 mass shooting in Sydney, Australia. At the time, Goldberg was fuming over a Truth Social post Trump issued on Sunday following the shocking...

The ladies hosting The View are fans of the Paramount+ series Landman. In November of 2024, they were gushing over the star Billy Bob Thornton. So they might be shocked to hear a brutal critique of their show and them coming out of the mouth of his character Tommy Norris.It came in episode 5 of the second season when Tommy was explaining to his father TL (Sam Elliott) what "The View was all about. Here is their conversation as relayed by Variety:
