>> The View host, Meghan McCain, is demanding you take her seriously.
Take a look.
>> The other thing I would like to make clear is, I come here everyday trying to show a
different perspective.
And I understand everyday that I walk into this building, and basically, when I walk
out of my apartment, it's an unpopular one.
But I do think it's important to know what's going on in Montoursville, Pennsylvania, and
why 9,000 extra people outside of that city would travel to see him.
He's still incredibly popular in states where it matters.
>> Yes, >> And I'm trying to give you a warning shot
of how you could blow this.
>> I get that but that doesn't have anything to do with what I'm talking about.
>> So it just had to end it with Whoopi because she has a little sense, you know what I mean?
So that's not even how this all started, I just wanted to set the tone for you.
Okay, so this conversation actually started, the hosts were having a conversation about
Don McGahn and his no-show regarding his Congressional subpoena.
McCain actually took offense when Joy Behar joked that Republicans taking Trump's side
should be jailed.
She called Behar's words dangerous.
And now, in her effort to pretend that she truly believed Joy Behar wanted all of these
people to just go to jail, followers, everybody, Republicans in general, just go to jail, her
effort to make the audience believe that she felt that was serious, it backfired.
>> You're syaing to the American public that all Republicans holding office should be in
jail, so I wanna know- >> Well, that was what you call hyperbole.
>> I know but I think that it's dangerous.
>> Yeah, that's what it sounded like to me.
>> It's high problem.
>> Well, it doesn't sound like we have a Republican at the table, for whatever it's worth, it
sounds a little aggressive.
And I think, part of the problem is, there were 10,000 people at Trump's rally in Montoursville,
Pennsylvania last night.
Which by the way, that population only has 4,770 people.
>> So he imported people for the rally then.
How did he get 10,000 with a population of 4,000?
>> Some people drove there.
>> Maybe bused them in.
>> Imports.
>> Fine.
>> That is so amazing.
Look, in all seriousness, it is important to have varying perspectives, because this
is a show that's supposed to understand the pulse of America, that's supposed to represent
different ideas and different components of our political discourse.
But the problem with Meghan McCain is that she doesn't seem to have any curiosity about
the issues that she discusses.
And the way that she makes her points makes it abundantly clear that she's not actually
knowledgeable enough to come up with a real point.
And so most of what she says on the show is, I'm John McCain's daughter so I know this
person and I know that person, this person is my best friend, this friend is my good
friend.
I would do anything for that person.
But I don't care about your friends.
I wanna know, is there any analysis behind what you're saying?
Is there any real rational thought or a unique opinion?
And usually, there isn't.
And even if you watch those videos, most of the time, she's looking down on her card,
and she's reading word for word what producers put on those cards for her.
And then she gets defensive when people disagree with her.
So that's the reason why I think she gets the type of feedback she gets both on that
panel and also from the public.
>> And, right, and no one is perfect, and no one is expecting her to be perfect, but
part of the issue and why it's so hard for people to watch is that it's not just someone
who has a difference in opinion.
She comes off disingenuous very often and she has lied multiple times on the show.
She was the first time I heard infanticide, you know what I mean?
She has lied multiple times on the show and she comes off so hateful and disrespectful
to her colleagues, so it's not about disagreeing.
The issue, a lot of it, is really about her smacking her lips while Whoopi Goldberg is,
that is Whoopi Goldberg.
>> Right.
It's funny, cuz you just reminded me of something.
Every once in a while, Cenk and I have disagreements.
>> Yeah.
>> We also have a very good relationship where we can play around with each other, tease
each other, whatever.
And sometimes, when we're kind of fake arguing, I'll roll my eyes at him.
And one time, one of our viewers wrote back to me and said something about how it's disrespectful,
this and that.
But in our situation, we respect each other and we like each other, and it's done in a
joking way.
With Meghan McCain, it's a daily thing and it's not done in a joking way.
It's done because she disagrees and she wants to be very openly disrespectful toward the
person she's disagreeing with.
When Cenk and I have real disagreements, I don't like I don't do that.
I'll hit him back with my perspective, which I've actually read and researched about.
I'm not going off of talking points that a producer prepared for me.
>> Even in that statement, just acting like such the victim like, I come out of my apartment
everyday and I do this, as if like she's not getting paid a million, I'm sure more than
$1 million a year, to be on a television show, and that's a privilege and a blessing.
>> She's a real martyr, come on.
>> Right, you sat on this television show and as you're talking about how hard it is
and how everyone is coming down on you and you come out of your apartment to fight the
good fight.
You sat on national television and perpetuated the stereotype of the scary Black Muslim woman
and cried doing so, and has refused on multiple outlets to acknowledge that and apologize.
>> And you also just brazenly lie about your real position on reproductive rights, which
Infuriates me more than anything.
Because as I've said before on this show, what you're doing publicly advocates for something
that, A, you don't agree with privately, but also really does harm the lives of so many
women, many of whom are not wealthy, many of whom are not White and privileged.
Many of whom are already in a lower socioeconomic status and are gonna be harmed even further
by being forced to have children that they can't afford, right?
But you don't care, I mean- >> That's all this is about.
>> Yeah, conservative brownie points are much more important to her, and appealing to certain
people is much more important to her.
No, why don't you be true to yourself and be abundantly clear about what you really
think about reproductive rights.
I think if you wanna be a real hero, which she's trying to make herself out to be in
these segments, it would be heroic to go against the grain of this Republican party and tell
the truth about what women are really gonna go through.
>> I mean, Tommy Lauren can be honest.
>> I know, it's amazing.
>> You're not gonna lose your job.
>> Yeah.
>> She's the heel of that show.
Of course, she's not gonna lose the job.
I mean, I hate to say it, but it's the most entertaining part, to watch the really arguments
made by people like Sunny Hostin, Joy Behar, they've actually sat and thought about these
issues.
And then just watching the way that they juggle her nonsensical points.
And her melt down, that's the entertaining part.
>> I don't care what she says, it's Whoopi Goldberg.
She could just sit there and I would be like, yeah, it's a great show.
>> It's Whoopi Goldberg, like what?
