FCC Chair Brendan Carr Exposes ‘The View’ by Posting Video Montage of the Hosts Basically Campaigning for the Democrats

For months now, a battle has been raging between Trump’s FCC and ABC News/Disney, the owners of the daytime talk show ‘The View.’

ABC News claims that ‘The View’ is a legitimate news show, a claim that is preposterous at best, while the FCC argues that it’s not a news show.

The argument is important because the decision ultimately governs what the show is and is not allowed to do.

In a way, it’s amazing that this debate is even taking place. The View is easily the most anti-Trump and anti-Republican show on network television.

Anyone who watches the show even once knows this if they possess average intelligence.

Now, Trump’s FCC chief Brendan Carr has posted a video to Twitter/X which shows the hosts of The View basically campaigning for the Democrats.

Breitbart News reports:

Federal Communications chief Brendan Carr posted a montage video to social media of some of ABC daytime talk show The View’s most biased, left-wing chatter and electioneering for Democrats as the agency considers whether the show has broken federal equal time rules.

Carr posted the video on Thursday and wrote that, “Disney is arguing to the FCC that its ABC show The View is a ‘bona fide news program.’”

“Disney claims that its decisions are based on “newsworthiness”—rather than partisan purposes—and thus exempt from political equal time rules,” he added to the video post.

“The FCC will make its decision based on all relevant evidence and precedents,” he concluded on his July 30 X post.

The video shows various members of The View’s panel advocating exclusively for the Democrat Party and denigrating Republicans.

Still, in other comments Carr also said that he does not view the FCC as the “speech police.”

Appearing recently on The Conversation podcast, hosted by POLITICO’s Dasha Burns, Carr said that his job is to apply the laws Congress has passed.

Joy Behar of ‘The View’ Suggests Trump is Going to Allow Saudi Arabia to Nuke the United States for Money 

Joy Behar of ‘The View’ is now pushing conspiracy theories about Trump’s nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia. During the broadcast on Thursday, she basically suggested that Trump is going to allow the Saudis to nuke the United States and that he is doing it for the money.

Every other day, a Democrat or someone in the media accuses Trump of pushing conspiracy theories, then Joy Behar talks like this and the same people are totally silent.

This show is bad for the country. Behar and her co-hosts push dangerous and toxic misinformation constantly.

Transcript via Nicholas Fondacaro of NewsBusters:

JOY BEHAR: The thing that I really can’t stand about him right now is that he starts a war in Iran because they’re going to get a nuclear weapon. Now, he’s making a deal with the Saudi Arabians that will allow them to produce a nuclear weapon.

Now, where is the head of the Republican Party in this, because they have the power to get rid of him.

ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: And they will say that the Saudis are not allowed to make a nuclear weapon but they’re allowed to enrich.

BEHAR: Oh, I see. Then we’ll go to war with the 9/11 group. The Saudis were behind 9/11 and – and – Are they waiting for him to drop a nuke on Cleveland?! What are they waiting for to do something?!

Now I’m scared. See, I grew up hiding under the desk. I was one of those kids and you were probably too, Whoopi, where they said a nuclear bomb is about to hit, get under your desk, like that would do anything. And I’ve been scared of that. I never took my library books back because I said we’re all going to die any. That is a fact.

And now we have a guy enabling that rogue nation, because — by the way, they’re going to give tens of billions of dollars. That’s what is behind this. Follow the money with this guy!

HOSTIN: Always follow the money.

Sunny Hostin’s Son Cited for Trespassing on Active Metro-North Tracks — Mom Name-Drops ‘The View’ to Cops and Demands Case Be Tossed as ‘Honest Mistake’ in Emotional Letter

“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin, the same far-left activist who lectures America about justice, equity, and how no one is above the law, just showed the country exactly how liberal privilege works.

Her 24-year-old son, Gabriel Hostin, was cited for trespassing on active Metro-North railroad tracks in New Rochelle, New York, on June 16.

According to court records cited by multiple news outlets, the Harvard graduate was spotted jogging along the right-of-way near 24 Station Plaza shortly before 8 p.m., ignoring posted “No Trespassing” signs.

Sources told the New York Post that Gabriel was “giving lip” to the officers who stopped him. He then called his “famous” mother. Sunny Hostin got on the phone with the cops and, according to sources, immediately played the celebrity card.

“She said I am Sunny Hostin, I am on ‘The View,’” a source recounted. Officers said the mother “made it an issue,” demanding to know why her son was even stopped.

Gabriel was issued a trespassing citation and is scheduled to appear in New Rochelle court on July 31. No arrest was made.

Now Hostin, a former federal prosecutor has stepped in as her son’s lawyer. In a letter to the Westchester County District Attorney’s office, Hostin requested the case be dismissed outright, TMZ reported.

The View Descends into Chaos After Joy Behar Admits Democrats Must Run a White Man to Win

Friday’s episode of the liberal talk show The View descended into chaos when co-host Joy Behar argued that Democrats need to run a white man in 2028 to have any chance of winning back the White House, sparking an immediate pushback from Ana Navarro.

During the heated exchange, Behar insisted she was simply focused on “winning” in what she called an “emergency” situation under President Donald Trump.

There is something hilarious about women who spent years demonizing white men suddenly treating them as saviors and their only path to victory.

Behar began by floating a list of white male candidates she believes could actually win, naming Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

She framed the suggestion as cold political reality, telling her co-hosts they needed to face facts after watching the country for decades.

Behar stated, “Maybe I’m too old at this point for this conversation. But I’ve been watching this country for a long time. And you’ve got to be in reality. These past few years that President Donald Trump has been in office, he’s practically destroying democracy. This is an emergency we’re in.”

Navarro jumped in, saying, “I hate it when I hear you say that it’s gotta be like a white man, cause I then feel that it becomes like a self-fulfilling prophecy. And I don’t want.”

REPORT: Zohran Mamdani is BIG MAD at ‘The View’ After A Host Correctly Called One of His DSA Candidates an Antisemite

Zohran Mamdani is reportedly steaming mad at ‘The View’ because one of the hosts referred to Darializa Avila Chevalier, the DSA nominee for New York’s 13th congressional district, an antisemite.

Truth hurts, huh?

One of the central pillars of the DSA is their pathological hatred of Israel, and by extension, Jews. Their exclamation of ‘Free Palestine’ is nothing more than a euphemism for the destruction of Israel.

FOX News reports:

Mamdani aide unloaded on ABC executives after ‘The View’ host called socialist candidate an antisemite: report

An aide to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani reportedly lashed out at ABC executives after “The View” co-host Sara Haines called a Mamdani-backed socialist congressional candidate an antisemite.

Mamdani flexed his political influence last month after three candidates that he endorsed in New York congressional primaries — Brad Lander, Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier — won over Democratic establishment candidates.

The New York City mayor’s team had pitched the liberal talk show to have the socialist candidates on, but the show had declined, according to Semafor.

During an episode of the show on June 24, co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin and Haines pushed back on the actions and comments of some of the candidates backed by Mamdani. Haines said Chevalier was at an anti-Israel rally on October 8, 2023, the day after Hamas’ massive terrorist attack against Israel by Hamas.

“I’m gonna full-blown call her an antisemite. She would proudly call herself that, trust me,” Haines said of Chevalier.

Following the comments, an aide for the socialist mayor reportedly unloaded on ABC executives, and said the remarks by Haines could affect future appearances on the show for the mayor or the candidates running for Congress, according to Semafor, who cited a person familiar with the matter.

ABC’s Hostin: American Flags All Over the Community Make Me Feel Unsafe

Monday on ABC’s “The View,” co-host Sunny Hostin said she felt “unsafe” when a community has American flags “all over.”

Hostin said, “You know, I think unfortunately in this country, people have different lived experiences. So while some may have a lived experience like this, it is the best country in the world. And while there’s some stuff that goes on, you know, other things are OK. That, for me, was a defining image of modern America for black Americans, defining. Patriot Front is a white nationalist organization founded in 2017 after the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. You know what, they promote an ultra nationalist ideology that focuses on creating a white ethno-state in the United States with the ultimate goal of reshaping American society to align with their vision of racial and cultural homogeneity. As a black woman, I’m sitting there in my country, and that’s the type of fear I have to experience.”

She added, “When I walk into a community and I see American flags all over the community and I suddenly feel unsafe because there is a section of this country that has co-opted the American flag and they equate being an American or an American flag with white supremacy. And that should never be ever the symbol of white supremacy.”

‘The View’s Whoopi Goldberg Claims ‘No One Wants Voter ID Laws’ While 80 Percent of America Supports ID to Vote

The far-left hosts of ABC’s The View fretted over the “SAVE America Act,” claimed that “no one wants voter ID laws,” and even insisted that “half” of America would be prevented from voting if the bill was signed into law.

The conversation started with Whoopi Goldberg, who brought up President Trump’s decision to cancel his bill signing ceremony for the housing bill because he is pressuring congress to pass his favored “Save America Act.”

In part, the “SAVE America Act” would include several election reforms, including provisions for voter ID. The act has already been passed by the House and is currently under consideration in the U.S. Senate, but has faced road blocks by several left-leaning GOP senators.

In bringing up the “SAVE America Act,” Goldberg insisted, “He torpedoed the [housing] bill because he wants another bill signed. And it seems to me no one wants to sign this bill.”

The comedian and TV host does not seem to understand what “signing” a bill means. She said Trump wants another bill signed, but the president is the one who signs the bills in our system, not someone else. Then she says it seems to her “no one wants to sign this bill.” Again, it is Trump who does the signing not others. So, who this “no one” she is talking about is, is hard to figure.

In any case, her cohosts were happy to pile on to attack the “SAVE America Act” and to bash it as “oppression” of the vote.

Sunny Hostin Admits She Hates America, Declares Country a ‘Failed Experiment’

People often use the term “hate” rather loosely these days.

“I hate the Buffalo Bills,” or “I hate pepperoni,” or “I hate pumpkin pie” are various forms of “hate” you may hear.

The term has, frankly, lost a lot of meaning, not unlike the term “racist.”

But there’s a different, much more real sort of hate that exists out there. It’s not the sort of hate you just casually announce or throw around. It’s the sort of genuine hatred that emanates from one’s actions and words.

And it doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to figure out that “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin really does hate America for not being the far-left fever dream that she seems to want.

Just watch this latest clip, courtesy of the Media Research Center’s Associate Editor Nicholas Fondacaro, that’s making the rounds showing how festive Hostin is in the lead-up to America’s 250th birthday celebration:

“And so I think we have a very complicated history here,” Hostin said. “I think it’s a very complicated country.”

Honestly, had she stopped here with her Debbie Downer act, it would’ve been defensible. History is complicated. Nobody’s arguing that it isn’t.

But of course, Hostin just couldn’t help herself.

“And at this point, I am embarrassed at our government,” she said. “I’m embarrassed at our lack of health care. I’m embarrassed on the assault on the press. I’m embarrassed of our Congress. I’m embarrassed by the criminal felon president that is in the Oval Office that has a UFC cage on the White House lawn.”

Obamacare failed. Former President Joe Biden’s social media pressure about the coronavirus vaccine was worse than anything Trump may or may not have done against the press. I’ll actually give her Congress being embarrassing, since people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar are in it. “Criminal felon president” is a cute slogan, but missing crucial context. And the UFC is gnarly.

What else you got, Sunny?

“I’m embarrassed about all those things,” she droned on. “And I’m also embarrassed at how America is now seen across the globe. I don’t think that many Americans understand that we are part of a wonderful global community. And when you look at our allies, our allies are now giving us a one-star rating as a country.

Disney Begs FCC to Label Far-Left Propaganda Show ‘The View’ as “Bona Fide News” So They Can Handpick Democrat Candidates and Silence Republicans – FCC Chairman Brendan Carr Asks the American People to Weigh In

Disney-owned ABC is now petitioning the Federal Communications Commission to officially declare the screeching harpies on The View as “bona fide news,” giving the daytime talk show a free pass to platform Democrat politicians while blackballing Republicans and dodging equal time rules that apply to every other broadcaster.

This is the same network that spent years pushing nonstop Trump Derangement Syndrome, COVID hysteria, and every woke agenda item under the sun, and now they want the government to rubber-stamp their partisan operation as legitimate “news” journalism? Give us a break.

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, one of the few adults left in Washington fighting back against Big Tech and Big Media gatekeepers, just exposed the whole scheme in a blistering public statement that perfectly captures the hypocrisy:

Disney has filed a petition with the FCC asking the agency to declare that The View is exempt from the statutory equal opportunities requirements that would otherwise apply to broadcast shows.

Disney argues that The View qualifies as “bona fide news” under the law, comparing itself to Meet The Press or Face The Nation.

Therefore, Disney argues, it can have one partisan candidate for office on The View while denying equal opportunities to all others.

The FCC is now seeking public comment on Disney’s request to be labeled as “bona fide news.”

Is The View a “bona fide news interview program”?

Under FCC case law, tv shows do not qualify as “bona fide news” if their decisions are based on partisan purposes, such as an intention to advance or harm an individual’s candidacy.

As the Public Notice observes, Congress originally passed the equal opportunities law to prevent media gatekeepers from deciding the outcome of elections. The law, even when it applies, does not prohibit anyone from having any candidate appear on any show. Rather, Congress intended it to empower voters with more information and encourage more speech.

ABC News Employee Joy Behar: Trump Only Cares About White Children 

Joy Behar of The View recently slandered Trump and his administration as racists by saying that they only care about white children.

Since The View falls under the umbrella of ABC News, perhaps we should start identifying Joy Behar and her co-hosts as ABC News employees. Maybe then, ABC News will finally take this poisonous, hateful, bitter hag off the air.

Calling Republicans racists is so original, Joy. 2008 called, and wants its Democrat smears back.

Transcript via NewsBusters:

BEHAR: You know what gets me?

GOLDBERG: What gets you? We get you but what gets you.

BEHAR: What gets me is this sort of this lie that they care about children. They seem to care about white children, but like when they say more Trump babies, what does that mean? Okay, I’m just asking the question.

And I would like to just remind people that this administration dismantled USAID, which helped children around the world. They cut $13 billion in foreign aid resulting in an estimated 500,000 children dying and 4.5 million children under five could die by 2030 due to largely preventable diseases like pneumonia, diarrhea, HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis.

So don’t tell us you care about children. You only care about these children that you call Trump children.

FARAH GRIFFIN: But it is accessible to any American.

BEHAR: But that – Let’s look at the over —

FARAH GRIFFIN: My child is not a trump child, it’s accessible to anyone who wants to apply for it.

BEHAR: No. I’m looking at the overall picture of this administration, and stop BSing me, okay? That’s all.
