ABC is ready to go ALL THE WAY to the Supreme Court

[00:00:00][music] >> And hey OG viewers, it's Sis. I'm back.

[00:00:08]I shared with you all when we were covering the New York Times article that came out on Saturday morning about our view our show and the FCC battle. I told you I'd be coming back and I'd be sharing more about the filing they referred to on Friday, okay, which was May 8th, 2026. ABC ABC's attorneys made an official response, okay, to the FCC.

[00:00:31]Now, that response was 52 pages, okay? It was full of lawyer speak, full of a lot of good information. But what I decided to do was to go ahead and just kind of read to all of us so that we can discuss the New York Times coverage of those 52 pages, okay? Now, again, the 52 pages is available for anyone to read, okay?

[00:00:55]And so let's go ahead and do this. Thank you for joining me my view on The View.

[00:00:58]Let's talk about this together. So let me give you the title of the New York Times article. Now, again, as I said before, most of you know that in order to access some, not all but some of the New York Times articles, you do have to have a paid subscription. I have that and so that's why I'm reading it to you all in case some of you don't. So the title is called ABC accuses government of violating First Amendment. The network's argument made to the FCC is the most aggressive posture taken yet by a television network toward the Trump administration. Shout out again to Mr. Jim Rutenberg and John Koblin. This is their work, not mine. They say, and I'm reading verbatim, "ABC has accused the Federal Communications Commission of violating its free speech rights, potentially setting the stage for a protracted high-stakes legal battle between the network and the Trump administration."

[00:01:55]The company said in a filing with the agency that regulators had a chilling effect on free speech by trying to punish political content they disagreed with.

[00:02:06]The filing made public on Friday is the most aggressive defense from any television network since President Trump kicked off an extended campaign last year to bring media organizations to heel.

[00:02:23]It represented a striking departure for ABC. The network under the corporate stewardship of the Walt Disney Company set an early tone of compliance toward Mr. Trump when it settled a defamation lawsuit with him for $15 million in December of 2024.

[00:02:41]Many legal experts consider Mr. Trump's case unlikely to succeed in court.

[00:02:47]The filing was registered on behalf of a single ABC station in Houston and involved a minor regulatory dispute over the talk show The View.

[00:02:57]But in a single, excuse me, but in a signal of its importance, the company's paperwork was signed by one of the most experienced Supreme Court litigators in the country, Paul D. Clement, a solicitor general under President George W. Bush.

[00:03:16]The filing responded to action the FCC took earlier this year questioning whether The View, the long-time ABC morning talk show, fell under old federal rules requiring entertainment programs on broadcast television to grant equal airtime to political candidates for the same office.

[00:03:36]The show features a mix of political and celebrity interviews led by a panel of hosts who are often highly critical of Mr. Trump.

[00:03:46]Mr. Trump's appointed chair of the commission, Brendan Carr, has strongly suggested in public that The View, which is technically part of ABC's news division, should not qualify for an exemption that the equal time rules allow for so-called bonafide news programs. But the filing from ABC revealed for the first time the intensity of the agency's efforts against the network, which have included extensive requests for documents and information about its operations and editorial approach.

[00:04:24]The exemption has been extended to many talk shows over the years. But Mr. Carr offered a new interpretation of the rule in January, suggesting that too many talk shows improperly thought they qualified for it, and directing them to assume the opposite.

[00:04:44]The end result of that guidance, if it withstands challenge, could have sweeping implications for the national political debate on network television approaching the midterms.

[00:04:57]The lone Democrat on the FCC, Anna M.

[00:05:00]Gomez, and public interest legal groups have warned that the agency's change could discourage entertainment-oriented talk shows, political theaters in their own rights for decades now, from booking political guests altogether.

[00:05:16]As ABC's lawyers noted, the California primary has some 60 candidates competing in its open June primary for governor.

[00:05:26]Under the rule, if The View were to book one of them, it would need to offer to book all the rest or offer them the same amount of time on all local ABC stations in the state.

[00:05:41]The FCC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

[00:05:46]According to ABC's filing, the FCC ordered the company's station in Houston, KTRK-TV, to file a formal request asking whether The View qualified for the exemption.

[00:05:59]The agency suggested that if the show was not exempt, then KTRK should have registered formal paperwork required under the equal times rules in February when The View booked James Talarico, the Democratic candidate for Senate in Texas.

[00:06:18]ABC said the request was an overreach because The View had already received its own news exemption from the agency in 2002.

[00:06:28]The company said the exemption had never been challenged in the 24 years since and considered it to remain in effect.

[00:06:37]The network called the FCC's demand that it file for an exemption again unprecedented beyond the commission's authority and counterproductive to the commission's stated goal of encouraging free speech and open political discussion. It added, "Some may dislike certain or even most of the viewpoints expressed on The View or similar shows.

[00:07:02]Such dislike, however, cannot justify using regulatory processes to restrict those views."

[00:07:11]I'm almost done, guys. Pointedly, it noted that the agency has questioned talk shows critical of the president like The View, but not radio talk shows supportive of the administration like those by the conservative commentators Glenn Beck and Mark Levin.

[00:07:27]The filing also noted the timing of the inquiries, which come ahead of the midterm elections.

[00:07:34]Mr. Carr assumed the agency chairmanship in 2025 vowing to enforce century-old public interest standards that include provisions like the equal times rule after a prolonged period of leniency that began in the Reagan era.

[00:07:53]Those rules apply to broadcast television and radio, much less so to cable, and not at all to the internet.

[00:08:01]Mr. Carr has accused the nation's three oldest networks, ABC, NBC, and CBS, of exhibiting liberal bias that could be in violation of the public interest standards drawing sharp pushback from public interest lawyers, Democrats, and even some Republicans.

[00:08:20]ABC has taken the brunt of the action.

[00:08:23]Early in his term, Mr. Carr initiated an inquiry into diversity, equity, and inclusion practices at ABC stations, which remains underway.

[00:08:34]In September, Mr. Carr threatened possible sanctions against the network over a joke that the late-night host, Jimmy Kimmel, made about the man accused of murdering Charlie Kirk.

[00:08:47]Mr. Kimmel's comments prompted fury from Mr. Trump and his supporters.

[00:08:52]ABC responded by suspending Mr. Kimmel's show for several days, but he returned after a wave of protest from his fans and others concerned about the free speech implication of taking him off the air.

[00:09:07]The pressure has only intensified since.

[00:09:11]The FCC began looking into The View and then, 2 weeks ago, took the highly unusual step of reviewing the licenses of all eight of ABC's own local station years before they expire.

[00:09:26]That license review came after another joke from Mr. Kimmel that angered the president, though Mr. Carr said it was because ABC had been playing rope-a-dope with the agency in the DEI inquiry and weren't being entirely forthcoming.

[00:09:43]ABC disputed Mr. Carr's description of events in its filing this week.

[00:09:48]The company said it had fully complied with all agency demands in the inquiry on schedule supplying some 11,000 documents in response to scores of requests.

[00:10:02]The paperwork, however, suggested that ABC was considering a broader court challenge to the long-standing rules asserting that they were outdated and unfair given the many media options now available, most of them free from free of any such public interest obligations.

[00:10:22]And it echoed warnings from Republican Republicans including Senator Ted Cruz of Texas in saying, "If the government is allowed to discriminate on the basis of viewpoint in a Republican administration, there's little preventing it from doing so when the Democrats are in charge." And that's the end of the article. So, thank you guys for staying with me.

[00:10:43]Now, let me give you my viewpoint on this, my view on the view. Well, first of all, as all of us know, no matter where you stand politically, okay? All of us know what this inquiry, what the pulling of the eight ABC um broadcast licenses years before they expire, right? Okay? They don't expire from years and years from now, but now they're reviewing them all of a sudden early. We know what this is about. It's no more than bullying. Brendan Carr, the FCC chair, he wants to keep his post.

[00:11:15]And so, he is going to do any and everything that the president suggests.

[00:11:19]And we all know how Donald Trump suggests things. Sometimes in his uh you know, craziness, he will just say it flat out, but more often he simply just says, "Maybe we should look into their broadcast license." Which is exactly what he said on Truth Social. And then what was it, less than 48 hours, Brendan Carr was launching an investigation into their broadcast license. So, anybody with two eyes, two ears, and a piece of a brain knows what this is really about.

[00:11:45]And it should upset all of us. And it's not just because of what Ted Cruz says, well, the Republicans are doing it today and the Democrats are doing going to do it tomorrow. It should have upset us because it's wrong.

[00:11:57]It's wrong.

[00:12:00]Now, I'm going to say this.

[00:12:02]I know what it feels like for people to try to get you shut down because they don't like your viewpoints.

[00:12:08]I've had my view on The View for 9 years.

[00:12:12]If I could only tell you guys some of the things that have happened behind the scenes with my YouTube channel, especially when I used to come on camera, because, well, white folks used to say I didn't sound black.

[00:12:28]So, they'd know I was black until I came on camera.

[00:12:34]And if I could tell you some of the things that have happened up over here, honey, for the past 9 years, it would shock you.

[00:12:45]Let me just give you a few of them.

[00:12:47]There were some white folks who didn't feel like enough black people watch The View, so who was this black lady talking about The View?

[00:12:54]Now, we know white viewers mostly watch The View, white women mostly.

[00:13:02]But The View was a program for all women.

[00:13:06]So, I got that kind of stuff.

[00:13:09]Okay? I can't tell you the the the racist comments.

[00:13:14]And then the microaggressions, you know, the racist microaggressions. You just sound so articulate.

[00:13:22]What they were saying was, [clears throat] well, for a black person, you just sound so articulate.

[00:13:27]Because in that person's mind a black person isn't articulate.

[00:13:31]And so they were quote-unquote giving me a compliment.

[00:13:35]No, all of us as black folks, we we know exactly what that is.

[00:13:39]Because if I were white, they wouldn't say that. It wouldn't dawn on them to compliment me on my articulation.

[00:13:47]So sometimes people are racist and they don't even know it.

[00:13:53]And when you point it out, they say, "Well, that's not racist." Well, what is it?

[00:13:56]If I were white, would you have complimented me on my articulation? It wouldn't have even came across your mind to compliment me. You wouldn't have thought nothing about it. So I dealt with that very early on. Let me give you another example.

[00:14:09]OMG, when I began to express my personal viewpoints on the LGBTQ+, you know, relationships, etc. Boy, oh boy, I had members of the LGBTQ Q community, mostly men, I'll go and tell you, who tried to who reported my YouTube channel to YouTube to get it taken off YouTube, claiming that I was giving hate speech.

[00:14:37]I'm still here.

[00:14:39]I'm still here.

[00:14:41]Now, was I saying hateful things? Was I calling them names? Was I um making comments that they shouldn't exist? Was I saying things that were hateful? Or was I saying, "I don't agree with it. I just think it's not healthy for society for people to be in same-sex relationships."

[00:14:58]You tell me what's hateful about that.

[00:15:03]I also talked about different people that, you know, uh work were clients of mine in the past. Um and I I just talked about different things that I noticed.

[00:15:13]Well, everybody you know seems to have AIDS. First of all, I don't know though I didn't know them. They were just clients. I can't help that they had AIDS. I can't help that if a person that came across my uh desk had AIDS. What does that What does that have to do with me?

[00:15:26]So, are you trying to say that all gay I I was just simply telling you that you know, this is what I my experience was. I never said anything like that. That's why I'm still here.

[00:15:39]Because when YouTube looked into their alleged claims that I was hateful and spreading hate speech, they didn't find any.

[00:15:47]I I I still have sponsors.

[00:15:49]I don't promote them as much because well, I don't really make a lot of videos the way I used to or podcast.

[00:15:55]I had people that heard me say something about abortion, my opinion on abortion, which is that I agree with abortion when it's the life of the mother or if it's incest, but if women just want to, you know, oops.

[00:16:10]I'm sorry. No, people need to be more sexually responsible. That's what I was saying.

[00:16:14]Then I had those groups of people.

[00:16:18]I just want to tell you they were white, too. I'm just telling you. See, I'm just telling you the facts. You make of it what you want to make of it. I'm just telling you what the facts were.

[00:16:26]Who reported my YouTube channel because I was {quote} encouraging people, okay, to be hateful towards other others and be aggressive.

[00:16:39]I'm still here.

[00:16:42]Because I wasn't doing any of those things. I simply had a different opinion that they didn't like. And so, I know what it feels like and I'm on a very small scale. You see how small my YouTube channel is?

[00:16:55]And I've heard people who have a much larger YouTube channels than mine say that they've been reported for different things. Why? Because they robbed them of their life savings? No, because they simply had a different opinion. Trump is doing the same thing to The View. He doesn't like their viewpoints and so now he's using the government to come after them.

[00:17:13]It is wrong.

[00:17:16]It is wrong.

[00:17:19]Now if I were out robbing people, sure.

[00:17:25]If I was actually encouraging people to go out and be violent towards others, sure report me to YouTube. But I've never done any of those things. Why? Cuz I'm not that kind of person.

[00:17:37]And so, you better believe when you when when I just read to you this New York Times article where these attorneys were saying that the only reason he's coming after them is because he doesn't like their viewpoints on him. Guys, that's the that's the world we live in.

[00:17:55]I was going to tell you this.

[00:17:57]So, I still have sponsors. I just don't promote them as much. Do you know and I'm just going to tell you they were white, too. I'm just telling you the facts.

[00:18:07]You make of the facts what you want.

[00:18:13]Who were trying to find out who my sponsors were. How do I know? My sponsors let me know.

[00:18:18]And get me canceled, get them to not sponsor because I said something that they didn't like.

[00:18:27]What I'm saying here is that people are very vindictive and very vengeful when you don't agree with them.

[00:18:40]And what we see Trump doing, what we see Brendan Carr doing just to keep his job, is wrong. It's wrong, guys. If we don't agree with what somebody's saying, we just turn them off. Or in the case of Trump, he's the president of the freaking United States. He's a president of the free world. He surely has bigger fish to fry than to be coming after ABC, their broadcast license, The View.

[00:19:05]You see, it's it's very immature and petty.

[00:19:08]And like I said to you on the other podcast, all The View would need to do is have somebody sitting there who could sit there and say, "He's great. He's great." And he wouldn't be bothered with them. He wouldn't care. Why? Because they're saying the things he likes to hear.

[00:19:29]We have to just go beyond that.

[00:19:32]Oh, let me tell you this, too.

[00:19:36]I don't think I've ever gone this far with sharing some of the things, and I'm not even telling you a lot of the things that have happened over these 9 years.

[00:19:54]When I first started my YouTube channel, of course, it was smaller than what it is now.

[00:20:00]Yes?

[00:20:01]I mean, I think it was just me and one other person.

[00:20:03]>> [laughter] >> Well, as my channel began to grow, I had 50 subscribers and then 60 subscribers.

[00:20:09]And so, of course, with that small amount of people, I could respond to people on a one-to-one basis all the time. And I used to do that. I used to respond all the time. I even used to have up a business email, and people used to email me, and I would respond to them.

[00:20:23]So, those people began to, I suppose, in their mind, they felt like I don't know I don't know what they thought, but I'm going to tell you just my interpretation of it. Maybe they thought that I would always respond to them.

[00:20:40]And that somehow they had some claim on my YouTube channel because they were, like, day one-ers.

[00:20:47]So, as my channel began to grow and I got 1,000 subscribers and then 2,000 subscribers and then 3,000 subscribers.

[00:20:52]Well, uh guys, I couldn't cuz I also work.

[00:20:56]Those people used to get angry with me.

[00:20:58]I can't tell you the emails I used to get. And then I would see those people who were day one-ers, who I used to have time to respond to, cuz I mean, it was only two comments, five comments, I mean, from the same people every day.

[00:21:10]They I would see them going on some of these forums blasting me.

[00:21:16]Because they were offended. Why? Because I shot their dog.

[00:21:21]Oh, you want me to keep going?

[00:21:26]All YouTubers experience what I'm sharing with you. I'm just simply sharing it with you.

[00:21:36]Let's keep going.

[00:21:39]Then.

[00:21:42]Then.

[00:21:49]Well, you know, I better stop.

[00:21:53]I'm just sharing with you what's happened behind the scenes, how people react when you don't say the things they agree with. Not everybody.

[00:22:05]I mean, most of us wouldn't dare do some of the things I just described to you that people have tried to do over here.

[00:22:11]Most of us we just simply click off if we don't agree. Or we just say, "I don't agree."

[00:22:19]Or we just find somebody else to listen to, right?

[00:22:23]But y'all, some people they have problems. They cannot do that. See, it's become personal for them.

[00:22:29]It's personal for them. They have to get you back.

[00:22:33]They have to try to destroy you in some way.

[00:22:36]Because they're hurt. And it's not you It's not that you hurt them. It's all the hurt they've had in their life.

[00:22:40]You're just one more person in their mind who {quote} {unquote} rejected them.

[00:22:46]There's a lady. I'm going to go ahead and tell you this. I won't say her name or her handle.

[00:22:52]This lady was one of the day one-ers.

[00:22:55]Oh.

[00:22:56]By the way, she was white. I'm I'm I'm just I'm just telling you the facts.

[00:23:02]And well, she I suppose it was just me and her for a long time.

[00:23:08]>> [clears throat and laughter] >> And so of course I was responding her. I mean she was commenting every day.

[00:23:14]When I when I used to come on every day and I get off work and watch Wendy Williams or do you know, then I'd come on.

[00:23:21]Well, one day I said something this lady didn't agree with.

[00:23:27]Cuz y'all know I just give my opinion and let the chips fall where they may.

[00:23:30]And this lady when I tell you this lady called me everything but a child of God.

[00:23:38]Cuz see I was talking about parents and children. And I was saying something like, you know, um, adult children who have been mistreated by their parents, I totally understand why they don't fool with their parents and that I had advised people not to do that. Like it you know, if your mom and dad if your mother verbally abused you your whole life, of course you're not going to like her when you become an adult. I mean that's just common sense. You wouldn't like anybody who verbally abused you. I mean something would be wrong with you if you liked them.

[00:24:04]And so I was talking about that. This had to be something it was like, you know, something. And woo, see I didn't know that she had that situation with her daughter. And so she took my comment personal.

[00:24:15]And when I tell y'all that lady so I blocked her. Well, it is my YouTube channel, right y'all? So I have the right to block whoever I want. I have the right to not respond if I don't want to. The channel is mine.

[00:24:26]>> [laughter] >> If I want to not allow certain comments, I have a right to do that on my channel.

[00:24:34]Well, this lady ever y'all y'all know how many years ago this was. I'm talking about when I first started this thing that was 9 years ago.

[00:24:40]I blocked this lady. Do you not know that every so often this lady will come back over here and I block her again. Cuz when I tell you this lady I mean I was like this lady I mean it actually Let me just tell you the truth. It scared me.

[00:24:55]Her response was so I mean it was so laden with just some of the crazy I thought Who have I been engaging with? This lady may be a mental case.

[00:25:07]Because she I mean some of the stuff she she when I tell you this like when I say to you she called me everything but a child got I mean it was this is when I used to read comments that were like 15,000 paragraphs, okay?

[00:25:18]>> [snorts] >> And I was like what is who is this >> [laughter] >> my god?

[00:25:24]Okay, so I reported her because that's what we're supposed to do when we receive abuse verbal abuse from YouTube and so I got a response from YouTube that they had done some things. But anyway, so she would make new profiles all the time and come back over here and she was just over here the other day.

[00:25:41]Now according to her I'm a horrible person. So you tell me why she still keep coming over here all these years.

[00:25:47]There are tons of people talk about The View.

[00:25:50]I mean The View has a YouTube channel themselves.

[00:25:54]Where people can comment whatever they want I suppose. I mean I don't go over there that often cuz I like using listening to if I'm going to rewatch a show or something I prefer to listen to it on ABC radio as I've told you guys.

[00:26:04]I'm just an audio audio learner. I that's just the way I am.

[00:26:14]So as I get ready to let you go I just want you all to understand some people are dangerous when you disagree with them. They become dangerous because they're already carrying hurt from their childhood and rejection from this one and and you have nothing to do with that stuff. Let me tell y'all something as much as people have tried to do to get my YouTube channel shut down I ought to be a certain way but I'm not every single time I would get a response from YouTube in essence in essence don't worry about it.

[00:26:47]>> [laughter] >> Cuz I think at some point YouTube kind of caught on to to what certain people were trying to do.

[00:26:52]I mean, there was even a guy even once I'm just telling you he was white, too. I'm just telling you.

[00:26:58]He even tried to trend cancel my view on The View.

[00:27:01]>> [laughter] >> Why? Because I shot his dog? Because I slept with his son? No, because he heard me say something he didn't like.

[00:27:13]And now he had to get me back.

[00:27:17]See, that's going too far for me.

[00:27:20]When people try to expose your real identity to hurt you, to get people to hurt you, come to your house, find out where you work, call your job. See, that's going too far for me. I remember when people started that stuff about firing Meghan some sort of What was it? Um some sort of Y'all know what I'm talking about people start those things, petitions. I came out and said, "Wait, wait, wait, that's going too far."

[00:27:43]Because I have found that sometimes people don't know in themselves when they're going too far. So, somebody needs to tell them. See, that's going too far. Just cut it off. I don't know I didn't like all the stuff she was doing, either. I mean, now some Let me just be Sometimes it was funny. I ain't going to lie. Like when she came on there with the two puffballs, that was funny.

[00:28:00]>> [laughter] >> Like, "Okay, girl, really?

[00:28:03]We're not at the club."

[00:28:07]I'm saying it in my head. It's funny now.

[00:28:10]But I'm not going to start no petition to get her fired. I'm not going to try to take food off her table. I'm not going to try to dig into her background and find out did she do this, who is she, and da da da. See, I See, I know for me that's going too far. I'm not that kind of human being. I'm not out to destroy nobody. I don't need to find out where you live. I don't need to find out your husband's name. I don't need to do those things. I simply will cut you off and never turn you on again.

[00:28:35]And I mean, I had people dragging me for that. I thought you couldn't stand Meghan. Okay, I don't like I don't know her, first of all, but no, I don't like her on the show. But no, honey, I'm not trying to get this girl fired. That's going too far. Why can't you see it's going too far? Why? Cuz you got some other issues going on that have nothing to do with Meghan McCain.

[00:28:57]I mean, it got so bad to one point I had to make a podcast. Some of you will remember this. I I said, "Okay, that's it, y'all. No more Meghan McCain hates."

[00:29:05]It's one thing to criticize her behavior on the show, which I did on a daily basis. [laughter] But, that's not the same as hating on her, saying she's fat, she's ugly, she's a cow. You see, people were going there up No, no, no, no, no. That's not the direction you're taking my stuff in.

[00:29:18]Nope. We can criticize her puffballs on her head. We can criticize her crazy viewpoints, of which she really had none. She was just repeating talking points. We can criticize the fact that, you know, she interrupted and she, you know, whatever, but we're not going to attack her on a personal level. That's going too far.

[00:29:42]All of us have to know when we're going too far, guys.

[00:29:46]All of us have to know when we're going too far.

[00:29:50]Because when you don't know if it were me, if I don't know when I'm going too far, before you know it, you'll be up at the Capitol storming the building.

[00:29:58]See, that's how people get to that level.

[00:30:01]It starts out small, and then before you know it, they're breaking in a window.

[00:30:06]Or they're trying to find out where somebody works so they can get them fired.

[00:30:11]Why? Because they said they had an opinion they didn't like.

[00:30:19]So, as I let you go, I hope and I really hope this.

[00:30:23]I I don't want this to go to the Supreme Court, but I understand ABC, like uh they said here in the New York Times article, they're ready to do battle. You know, they're ready to just go for it.

[00:30:33]Like they said, this is the strongest response from any um network out of all the ones who he's come after.

[00:30:41]I hope they win it, not just for the sake of free speech, but also to prove to people you can't be revengeful just because you don't like what somebody said.

[00:30:51]After all, it's just words. They didn't come punch you in the face. They didn't punch me in the face.

[00:30:57]They didn't kidnap our grandmother.

[00:31:00]What I'm saying is they didn't cause any real physical harm to us. And yes, words hurt. Understand that, but they're not the same as physical harm.

[00:31:08]And my god, if they're strangers on the internet, we really need to get a grip.

[00:31:12]So, it's not like they even know us on a personal level to even care.

[00:31:15]And we shouldn't care about what they're saying, either.

[00:31:18]So, it's a whole lot wrapped up in this.

[00:31:20]And so, I hope, you know, seeing as they have that guy that they were talking about, that attorney who was from the Bush administration, who is like the premier, you know, whatever type attorney. I hope they win this.

[00:31:33]I hope our show stays on the air. I hope, you know, at some point our show will just kind of, you know, make life easy for themselves.

[00:31:44]And just kind of get somebody on there and let the person, you know, they don't need to go so far cuz some of this stuff is crazy some of these people believe.

[00:31:50]But, they do need to be able to express, well, I think abortion's okay, not okay.

[00:31:57]Without Whoopi going to a commercial break cuz she don't want to hear it.

[00:32:02]And Joy just losing it.

[00:32:05]>> [laughter] >> Y'all remember Sunny used to say that?

[00:32:08]Honey, they Oh, honey, they jumped down her throat so much she eventually said, "You know, I've changed my stance." I don't personally believe Sunny's changed. Sunny is a staunch Catholic. I don't believe she changed her stance, just like she refuses to get a divorce.

[00:32:22]Cuz she said that, "I don't believe in divorce, no matter what happens."

[00:32:29]Well, okay.

[00:32:30]>> [laughter] >> But, you know, some people, you know, they they, you know, no matter what, the person can beat them, they can cheat on them, they can, you know, cut their weave all up, they can do whatever and they say, "I'm going to stay." Because they believe, you know, that God's okay with maybe abuse and cheatations and liations, whatever. But my point is is that I do I would like for them to get somebody there. I I have been saying for years, just get Elizabeth back. Just get her back. Yes, she was annoying. Yes, yes, but get her back. Because Elizabeth will only go so far because she actually does have common sense. And I do believe Elizabeth probably is in her real life a decent person. Now, she's not perfect. None of us are perfect. But she probably is decent. So, she's not going to be saying the election was stolen.

[00:33:15]And she's not going to say all that kind of stuff, but she will challenge the abortion, she's going to challenge about health care, she's going to challenge about war, you know, she has different opinion about war than they have. So, I mean, that's that's to me, I think that would be good enough. And she's also a Trump supporter.

[00:33:32]Now, who knows, you know, with people like Trump, they're insatiable. So, he they could bring her on and he could say, "She's not, you know, she doesn't say enough, you know." But, you know, when she was there during that week when she sat in, I I I do recall her say- saying several times, "This is a great president." Now, whether she said it because she actually believe it or honey, she said it because honey, I need this, you know, however much they paid her, you know, whatever.

[00:33:56]But, the whole point is she said it.

[00:33:59]And so, maybe that would be good enough.

[00:34:04]And so, as I get real in you go, "We're going to keep an eye on this, okay, in our community. We're going to see where this goes." Um our show is still on the air 5 days a week and the weekend view and the behind the table podcast. And so, so far, you know, they're you know, the attorneys are handling it, right?

[00:34:18]And our show is doing its thing. Now, they haven't had any politicians that are actually running for office since Tal Erico. We talked about that though a few weeks ago. Uh they had Cory Booker on there. Remember his wife was in the audience. By the way, I have to say marriage looks good on him.

[00:34:34]I mean, I can always tell when a man is happy in his relationship because he has a glow. You know, ladies how people say when we're pregnant or when we're in love we have a glow?

[00:34:43]Well, men have a glow, too. Okay?

[00:34:46]>> [laughter] >> It's not the same as ours cuz we've got all the estrogen going on that glows us all the way up. But, um that man had a look on his face that I've seen many men have that I think every woman who's, you know, married or even if you're not married, but you're in a long-term relationship, you want your man to have, right? I could tell he was genuinely happy that they have a good relationship. And I think it's because he found someone who would accept all of who he is, right? And that matters. The person does need to accept you. And so, at the end of the day, they haven't had on an active running for office politician since Talarico, but they have had on people who are currently in, uh you know, Congress. Uh I don't think that's a challenge. I don't think uh Brendon and Nam care about that. But, the bottom line is they're either going to have to, while this battle is going on, they're either going to have to just cease on active political candidates for the time being and focus on these folks who are already in office or who used to be in office and uh focus more on that uh because I don't think the attorneys are going to want them to create any more waves, per se, uh than they've already created uh while this lawsuit is going on cuz most attorneys will tell you that. You know, like they'll say, "Don't speak to the media." Like they didn't when The New York Times reached out to them. Remember on the other article we were reading?

[00:36:04]They said The View refused to comment and they refused an interview with any of the ladies. I think most attorneys say that because, you know, you don't want to give the enemy any ammunition.

[00:36:14]And so, as I get ready to let you guys go, thanks so much for being here. This is my view on The View. What say you?

[00:36:19]Let us all know in the comments your thoughts on this article. And like I said, I'll keep an eye on this. I I I a lot of you are watching it, too.

[00:36:27]Let's just keep you know, let's just keep hoping that we can make it to the summer which is almost here. So season 29 will be over soon and then the legal battle can continue in August when the women are on their break and when they come back for season 30 which will be a monumental season for the view then maybe this stuff will be over but who knows we shall see. I'll talk to you on the next one. Bye guys.
