I addressed @JoyVBehar's comments about @ElonMusk, where she accused him of anti-immigrant sentiments and being "pro-apartheid" as a child, despite him being a naturalized U.S. citizen. She expressed surprise at his citizenship and questioned its legality. Behar later complained about backlash for her claims and humorously pleaded with Musk not to sue her for defamation, admitting uncertainty about her accusations. She seemed frustrated by the need to tell the truth in her statements.

@NickFondacaro - Nicholas Fondacaro

Hateful, @JoyVBehar flaunts anti-immigrant bigotry against @ElonMusk. She decries him because "the guy was not born in this country." She falsely claims that, as a child, Musk was "pro-apartheid." She calls him a "this foreigner, foreign agent," and "enemy of the United States. She was shocked to find out that Musk is a naturalized U.S. citizen, then questions if he came legally.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Elon Musk, who wasn't born in the U.S. and grew up during apartheid in South Africa, gets praised, and Trump is letting him do his job. He's a naturalized citizen, likely through an H-1B visa. It's concerning that Trump seems comfortable letting a foreigner, possibly an enemy of the United States, handle things while he takes a nap. I don't like Elon, but I'm not ready to call him an enemy of the United States just yet.

He grew up in that time when [it] was in full blown...He was around at that time. Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't...don't be suing me, okay, Elon?" She then whines about having to tell the truth.

Video Transcript AI Summary
I love this show because we can have real discussions. I'm getting some heat for saying Musk was pro-apartheid. I don't know for sure if that's true, but he did grow up while apartheid was happening before Nelson Mandela fixed things. So he was around at that time. Maybe he was pro-apartheid, maybe he wasn't, and maybe he was too young to even have formed an opinion. So, don't sue me!

I discussed how The View attributes Biden's remark about Trump supporters being "garbage" to Trump himself, with Sunny Hostin stating he owns that rhetoric. Hostin expressed frustration over the backlash, calling it extreme gaslighting. Alyssa Farah Griffin criticized Trump for focusing on the comment, suggesting it was a strategic misstep. Sara Haines lamented that blue-collar workers are being misled by Trump, while Joy Behar insisted the economy is better than perceived. Whoopi reflected on her generation's fight against Trump's speech.

The View blames Trump for Biden calling his supporters "garbage." "He owns that language. He owns that rhetoric because he is the one that introduced it," Sunny Hostin proclaimed.

Video Transcript AI Summary
He described America as a "garbage can," implying that those living here are also garbage. This has caused concern among many, as they believed they were separate from this negative characterization. The rhetoric is significant because he popularized it, using it repeatedly. At one of his rallies, he even had a comedian make jokes about Puerto Rico being an "island of garbage."

Speaker 0: Let's just start with the fact that he's been he brought up America being a garbage can. Right. Yeah. I assume that meant that those of us who live in America Yeah. Were garbage. Yeah. And I guess everybody's freaked out now because we're all in the can together. Some people thought they were out of the can. Yeah. But when he says the country is a can and says it over and well, I'll let you do it. Well, yeah. I I was saying, you know, this morning, he owns that language. He owns that rhetoric because he is the one that introduced it. He's the one that, at his rally had a comedian talking about, Puerto Rico Puerto Rico being an island of garbage.

Claiming she's now a "political strategist," faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin says it's "political malpractice" for Trump to focus on Biden calling his supporters "garbage." She claims Biden's "garbage" smear was him intentionally giving Trump a "life line" for MSG rally.

Video Transcript AI Summary
This situation is comical yet highlights political missteps. Trump hosted a rally featuring a speaker who insulted Puerto Rico, prompting backlash from celebrities and Republicans concerned about alienating voters. This created a significant news cycle. Trump attempted to mitigate the damage on Sean Hannity, and Joe Biden inadvertently provided a distraction by calling supporters "garbage," which he later retracted. Instead of moving past the controversy, the Trump campaign decided to remind everyone of Biden's slip by using a garbage can as a prop, emphasizing negative comments about Puerto Ricans and America. This strategy reflects poor campaign judgment.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: I've gotta say I got an absolute laugh out of this. I thought it was hysterical because it is absolute political malpractice. Yeah. So as a political strategist, Trump hosts this rally where his campaign platforms this guy that calls Puerto Rico garbage. And, of course, celebrities come out, j lo. Everyone's coming to denounce it. Republicans are denouncing it because they know they ticked off an important voting block. And so this is a huge news cycle. Trump even goes on Sean Hannity to try to walk it back, and then Joe Biden actually offers him a tiny bit of a lifeline to leave this news cycle behind him Yeah. By slipping up and saying supporters are garbage. He did walk it back. And then, no, the geniuses of the Trump campaign are like, let's remind everyone about your worst news cycle by throwing you in a garbage can and reminding everyone what you said about America and what you said about Puerto Ricans. Yeah. It is I mean, this is one of the that's the dumbest campaign I've ever seen. Well

Sara Haines: "I think it's really sad that [Trump is] appealing to the working man, like, the blue collar worker with the garbage truck..." She decries: "The blue collar working man is the one falling for this. Mainly white men."

Video Transcript AI Summary
It's concerning that he's appealing to blue-collar workers, trying to connect with them in casual settings. While he projects this image, his actions have harmed these workers, cutting a million from those eligible for overtime pay. In 2025, this will worsen, as he aims to eliminate overtime pay after 40 hours of work. His alliance with figures like Elon Musk highlights how such policies benefit the wealthy. Unfortunately, many blue-collar workers, particularly white men, are being misled by this narrative.

Speaker 0: I think it's really sad that he's appealing to the working man, like the blue collar worker with the garbage truck. I know that was about garbage, but it was also he wants to look like he can rub elbows at a McDonald's, and he does all these things. The people that will be hurt the most, while he was a president, he cut, he reduced by 1,000,000 the number of workers, and this is most this is blue collar workers who would become eligible for overtime pay. In 2025, it goes even further. Yeah. And he wants to take away what 40 hours after 40 hours would normally earn you time and a half. He wants to take that away from workers. The reason Elon Musk is with him is someone like Elon Musk benefits from him. Of course. It is the working people that are falling for the not all, but the blue collar working man is the one falling for this, mainly white men.

Multi-millionaire Joy Behar has previously told average Americans should ignore their economic plight, now says they just don't know how great the economy is: "It's the economy stupid. Well, the economy is doing really well...Maybe these people should understand this."

Video Transcript AI Summary
The US economy is currently experiencing growth, despite ongoing concerns about inflation. Many people are struggling, and I empathize with them, having grown up in similar circumstances. It's important to recognize that the economy is performing well overall. However, there are fears that certain political actions could harm this progress, particularly regarding immigration policies. Immigrants contribute significantly to the workforce and the economy. It's crucial to understand their role and the potential consequences of policies that may disrupt this balance.

Sunny Hostin, a co-host on The View, recently discovered through genealogy tests that her family were slave owners. She expressed disappointment and acknowledged the truth. Despite this revelation, she still demands reparations and has faced criticism for it. Hostin's family fled from Spain to Curaçao and then to Puerto Rico to keep their slaves. Some argue that as a descendant of slave owners, she is also benefiting from the legacy of slavery. Despite her wealth and success, Hostin continues to advocate for reparations.

BREAKING: Staunchly racist Sunny Hostin did a genealogy test and family history background check and discovered that her family were SLAVE OWNERS. She admits "the family business" was "enslavers" and it was "deeply disappointing" to learn the TRUTH.

Video Transcript AI Summary
I was hesitant to uncover my family history, fearing disappointment. Eventually, I agreed to do it for the sake of future generations. Surprisingly, I discovered that my Puerto Rican ancestors actually originated from Spain. They moved to Puerto Rico because the slave trade was abolished in Spain and Curacao, and they brought their slaves with them. Contrary to what I was told, my family were not printers and journalists, but rather involved in the slave trade. This revelation deeply saddened me.

I don't know how you felt when you did it, Whoopi, but I was really reluctant to do it because I just sensed that there could be something in my family history that would be, disappointing. Negative. Negative. Yes. I thought I was gonna have that kind of moment. And Skip had asked me to do it for a long time, and I finally decided to do it because I thought it'd be helpful for my children and my children's children to know what their real history was, you know. But what I found out was that my mother's some while, they are Puerto Rican, they actually originate from Spain. And the reason that some moved to Puerto Rico is because the slave trade had been sort of canceled in Spain and then Curacao, and then they moved all of their slaves to Puerto Rico. Mhmm. And so the biz the family business, I have been told that they were printers and journalists, but they were in fact slavers. Mhmm. And my mother saw a lot of spillover the audience. Deeply disappointing.

Sara Haines presses Hostin to talk about how this might have upended her race-baiting shtick. Hostin calls the revelations "a bummer" but that she'll still demand "reparations." She lashes out, telling critics to "stop" saying she "doesn't deserve reparations."

They express concern about the cycle of violence that has characterized Israel's relationship with Gaza and Hamas over the years. The speaker notes that the Israeli prime minister is under pressure and may have no choice but to respond with ground forces. They anticipate that President Biden will offer reassurance to Israel after his phone call with Prime Minister Netanyahu, based on his support for the country rather than the current government.

Speaker 0: What is their response going to be? The prime minister has declared war declared war on a must. When you declare a you aim for victory. But I asked myself the basic question, exactly what do the Israelis hope to achieve reoccupation of the Gaza Strip, a major ground cursion to destroy Hamas's military leadership, Mohammed Dave, who's already been, with judgment target of the Israelis has been very vocal. The Israelis may want to eliminate Hamas's leadership, but where does this go wolf, that's the real problem. Where's the strategy to ensure that this is not a a brutal and horrific, rinse, wash, repeat cycle because that's what it's proven to be over the last several decades when it comes to Israel's relations with Gaza. And Hamas, Hamas in particular. And you have a very risk, averse Israeli prime minister under tremendous pressure from so many fronts now. In trial, the judicial overhaul, inherently risk averse, but he may well be risk ready. He may have no choice, but to respond with ground with ground forces. And we'll see if that escalates, I suspect it. Will, what do you what do you think we will hear from president Biden after his phone conversation with Prime Minister Netanyahu. Reassurance. Reassurance reassurance. There may be, more seems to me politically, and given the president's, Peter Natural, support emotional, politicals buried in his deep NA for Israel, not for Benjamin Netanyahu, certainly not for the Netanyahu government, that's government, but for Israel, for sure.

The speakers discuss their concerns about the investigations against the former president, suggesting that they may unintentionally or intentionally benefit him. They agree that any charges against him should be serious and supported by strong evidence, which they believe is lacking in these cases. They also mention the negative optics of pursuing legal action during an election without substantial evidence. One speaker compares the situation to that of a non-democratic country. Overall, they express skepticism and criticize the handling of the investigations.

Speaker 0: So these concerns, you know, everybody loves conspiracies these days. I'm not so sure that these investigations, aren't done in a way that winds up intentionally or unintentionally helping, the former president, to be honest. Because every time there's a swing, it seems to expose the fact that they go after him with what seems to be at or below a level of anything that would be impressive to people reviewing the documents. What's your take on this? Speaker 1: Yeah. I agree with you. I mean, I'm I'm obviously not a fan of Donald Trump. I wrote a book The guy called Insane Clown President. But, you know, my feeling is if you're gonna take the very extreme either. Of, indicting somebody who's the likely nominee of the opposition party. The the charge has to meet 2 tests. It has to be extremely serious, and it has to be an airtight case. And I think both of these cases fail, ill on both of those points. Yeah. Speaker 0: You know, a buddy of mine who's a very smart guy and a lawyer, but, you know, just a kind of consumer if all things relevant like yourself. He was like, hey. I don't care that it's during the election. The fact that you're running shouldn't shield you. Maybe he's running because he knows it's his best defense on these things. Maybe. But I think that to the majority, the optics are terrible if you're swinging at somebody during an election and you don't have what we deem the goods. Now what does that look like in this case? Do you think it comes down to what are the documents he was keeping? Speaker 1: Well, again, I mean, I think if you are a person in who grew up in a 3rd world country, you would recognize this kind of thing as something that happens, in in a not entirely free society. So that's the optics of this They're terrible. I mean, there's no way around it.
