Trump warns ‘The View’ over rants, show abruptly announces a ‘hiatus’ * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

Only hours after President Donald Trump issued a warning to entertainers on “The View” about their anti-White House rants, one of those entertainers has announced the show will be broadcast yet on Friday, but then is on “hiatus.”

A report at Fox had documented how co-host Joy Behar had been told that her show could be next on the chopping block after her latest tirade against Trump.

CBS recently called a halt to the leftist “The Late Show” work by Stephen Colbert, amid reports the show was losing millions of dollars a year.

That was on Wednesday.

On Thursday morning, Behar confirmed the shutdown.

“We only have one more show after this,” she said.

Behar had pushed her politics regarding the call from Trump for Barack Obama to be criminally investigated, which apparently already is happening. The issue is over government evidence that the Obama administration manufactured claims that Trump’s 2016 campaign was colluding with Russia, a claim unsupported by evidence.

Behar ranted, “First of all, who tried to overthrow the government on Jan. 6? Who was that again? That was not Obama. The thing about him is he’s so jealous of Obama, because Obama is everything that he is not: Trim, smart, handsome, happily married, and can sing Al Green’s song ‘Let’s Stay Together’ better than Al Green. And Trump cannot stand it. It’s driving him crazy. Green is not a good color.”

White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers cited the show’s ratings and suggested that it could be taken off the air.

“Joy Behar is an irrelevant loser suffering from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. It’s no surprise that The View’s ratings hit an all-time low last year. She should self-reflect on her own jealousy of President Trump’s historic popularity before her show is the next to be pulled off-air,” Rogers said.

An official representing the show, a longtime enclave of leftist arguments, said it was “up in total viewers” compared to last season.

At the Media Research Center’s Newsbusters, there was a report on the show’s “pretty incendiary and heinous accusations against President Trump.”

Those included “everything from ‘crimes against humanity’ to ‘treason.’ The White House had apparently had enough, because in a statement to Fox News on Wednesday, the administration called out the show and warned them to straighten up before they get ‘pulled off-air.’”

Newsbusters explained, “FCC Chairman Brendan Carr also hinted that the administration could be scrutinizing ‘The View.’”

At the Wrap were details on Carr’s comments.

He hinted it is “entirely possible” the long-running ABC show has some “issues” worth looking into.

“But again, stepping back [to view] this broader dynamic, once President Trump has exposed these media gatekeepers and smashed this facade, there’s a lot of consequences. I think the consequences of it aren’t quite finished,” Carr said.

He cited a recent episode where the show had to be stopped four times to read legal notices to try to avoid liability.

“So I’m not surprised to hear people say that their ratings are struggling.”

The report said Carr was referring to a November 2024 episode in which “The View” co-hosts had to issue four “legal notes” during a show, after bashing several of Trump’s cabinet picks.”
