After watching the opening segment of Wednesday's The View, you might say the right and left are living in two separate realities. But the liberal talk show hosts started the ABC show by rejoicing over how great things are in Joe Biden’s America. Despite the fact that most Americans disagree with them, the hosts scolded everyone to be thankful for what Biden’s done for the country.
Brushing aside rising gas costs, co-host Whoopi Goldberg cheered how there were “plenty of other reasons to feel hopeful this holiday.” After ABC played a video clip of Biden putting a positive spin on the economy yesterday, Goldberg scolded, “Well, I'm hoping people are hearing the message loud and clear, because he's only been in for nine months!”
What followed next might seem like parody but it actually happened.
Goldberg prodded Behar to deliver a laundry list of all the things Americans should be indebted to Joe Biden for.
“[D]o you want -- tell folks what he’s got done?” she asked. Behar proudly held up her White House-approved talking points to the audience and said she didn’t want to “bore” people with a list. But Goldberg cheered her on, “[B]ore ‘em! Bore ‘em” (click “expand”):
BEHAR: Alright. He signed a 1 trillion dollar infrastructure bill. bipartisan bill that's going to fix the bridges and tunnels and all the things that are falling apart. Trump couldn't do it. [ Applause ]
GOLDBERG: What else? What else did he do?
BEHAR: He got $1.9 trillion Covid relief plan passed in March.
GOLDBERG: That put money in people’s pockets.
BEHAR: Remember Trump? Yeah but Trump made Covid much worse.
GOLDBERG: Forget about him what else did Joe do!
BEHAR: I like to compare and contrast!
GOLDBERG: I know, I know but what did Joe do.
BEHAR: Alright. It was a little messy but he ended the war, the 20-year war in Afghanistan. Thank you very much. [applause]
GOLDBERG: What else?
BEHAR: This is one I didn't even know, he cancelled student loan for more than 300,000 Americans with disabilities.
HOSTIN: Yes, he did.
BEHAR: That's significant. [ Applause ]
BEHAR: These poor kids at the border that were separated in the last administration are now -- he made sure that he reunited them with their parents in the United States or their country of origin. [Applause] To me that's like one of the worst things you can do to a child.
HOSTIN: I think there were over 500, right? Over 500 were reunited.
BEHAR: He returned the U.S. to the Paris Climate Accord. Thank you, we're all in this together, baby. By the way, the unemployment is down, very much down, and you can't blame the guy for the pandemic. If you don't wear a mask, then I blame you ,not him.
Yuck. Press Secretary Jen Psaki might think Behar was vying for her job!
Only a person untethered from reality would think Biden’s Afghanistan debacle was a “win,” or that taxpayers would approve of giving millions of their dollars to people who broke the law to come into this country.
Afterwards, the whole table reminded Americans that they should be thankful they can visit family this year. “So as you all remember that you haven't seen your people in perhaps almost two years, quit kvetching-- Quit kvetching. This is what this is about!” Goldberg lectured.
That's not what they said two Thanksgivings ago on the show.
What the hosts didn’t mention? A majority of the country disapproves of Biden’s leadership. Because they believe their own lies about the booming economy, co-host Sunny Hostin admitted she was shocked that Americans were cutting non-essentials from their dinner table like alcohol this year.
Be thankful for Joe and stop griping, seems to be a message the administration has handed down to the media to promulgate this week. A stark contrast, between the browbeating Americans got from the media last Thanksgiving.

JOY BEHAR: Well I don’t want to bore people with a list, [holds up notecard] but the list is long!
GOLDBERG: Yeah, but bore ‘em! Bore ‘em!

HOSTIN: Or, you're unvaccinated.
BEHAR: Or you’re unvaccinated.
GOLDBERG: So basically he's been doing what his job is, remember when presidents did presidential stuff? [cross-talk] You don't have to like his politics but you can't beat the fact that he's working for America.
BEHAR, HOSTIN: That’s right.
GOLDBERG: Just sayin'. [ Applause ]

11:08 a.m. Eastern
HOSTIN: It's going to be the most well traveled holiday in two years!
WHOOPI GOLDBERG: So as you all remember that you haven't seen your people in perhaps almost two years, quit kvetching-- Quit kvetching. This is what this is about.
You can read all these polls, people don't know if they want to be with their families, I think people want to see their families to get that feeling, I don't ever want to sit with you again. I think that's very important to have in family dynamic and now people -- that's right -- because they didn't have the option before and we've got -- we may have this option for good now and it’s all good.
