Whoopi Goldberg said she’s only working as a panelist on “The View” because she needs the money. The 68-year-old host was discussing a recent social media post from Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in which she asked her followers why they voted for President-elect Donald Trump. AOC said some of the responses mentioned how Trump cared about “the working class.” Panelist Ana Navarro reacted to this, saying the next Democratic presidential candidate should make an effort to connect more with voters. “I appreciate that people are having a hard time. Me too, I work for a living,” Goldberg said. “If I had all the money in the world, I would not be here. OK? So, I’m a working person, and my kid has to feed her family, and my great-granddaughter has to be fed by her family.” “I know it’s hard out there,” she continued. “I love what [Ocasio-Cortez] did. Yay. We talk to people all the time who say, ‘This is what’s bothering me.’ But, the thing that’s bothering everybody should not be the thing that puts 85 percent of other people in danger. I think that’s what we’re saying.” Whoopi: "I appreciate that people are having a hard time. Me too. I work for a living. If I had all the money in the world, I would not be here."

During the same episode, the actress said she supports the idea of cutting off Trump voters from family gatherings for the holidays.

I don’t want to put my gay child in a position where she has to sit with someone who doesn’t understand her and feels like it’s okay to just blurt all of that out. That’s just me.”

“CBS Mornings” host Gayle King had to remind House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) that Vice President Kamala Harris — and Democrats across the board — had lost, and lost big, in the general election held just a week earlier. King had to interrupt and correct Jeffries, who was poised to take the gavel if control of the House of Representatives had passed into Democrats’ hands, when he suggested that the race had been a close one.

He also argued that the Democratic Party’s presentation had made especially working class voters feel as though they were not really respected. “Well, we clearly care about making life better for everyday Americans, and it drives everything that we do from a policy perspective,” Jeffreis replied. “But of course, we’ve got to figure out how we can better connect the policies that we’ve worked hard to implement under the leadership of President Biden and Vice President Harris. You know, infrastructure, fixing our crumbling bridges, roads, and tunnels, creating millions of good-paying union jobs. That’s putting people first. That was a policy that actually happened. But we have to better connect why we are doing these things and how it will lead to improving the quality of life of every American.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “It sounds like you’re still processing, but were you stunned last Tuesday night? I’m just curious. I know lessons learned and all of that, but were you stunned by what happened?” King asked. “Well, we knew going into the election, as Vice President Harris repeatedly stated, including at the convention, this is close and it’s going to be close —” Jeffries said. “But it wasn’t close,” King interrupted. ” — all the way through. I think at the end of the day, the popular vote will be close. I think it was, you know, an Electoral College outcome that most people on the Democratic side didn’t expect because everything broke at the presidential level in terms of Donald Trump’s direction.” As of Tuesday, November 12, the popular vote totals stand at 71,898,818 (48.1%) for Vice President Kamala Harris and 75,158,912 (50.3%) for Trump — a difference of more than three million votes.

CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings roasted late-night comedians for their obvious descent — fueled by President-elect Donald Trump’s landslide victory on Tuesday — into naked Democratic activism, arguing that “at some point, people might expect it to be funny.” Jennings ripped into the comedians — name-dropping Jimmy Kimmel, who was brought to tears after Trump won — and argued that they were alienating half the country by telling them that only the Trump-hating people in their audience really mattered.

I mean, they stopped being comedians and they started becoming political activists. I mean, Jimmy Kimmel out here crying? I mean, it’s pathetic,” Jennings said. “And so my my question is, if you’re going to have a late-night comedy show, at some point, people might expect it to be funny and not just a constant political screed against one party, and I don’t — I don’t know that this activism for four more years is sustainable if you’re going to market something as comedy, but the actual product is nothing more than sort of a lowbrow political activism.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “These people represent the way a lot of people feel, so it’d actually be interesting if the Trump folks could actually make us feel like, ‘we’re not going to take away your rights,’ and that doesn’t make sense, you think it doesn’t make sense a lot of people actually think that makes sense. That’s the way a lot of people feel,” Touré protested. “That is their audience,” CNN host Abby Phillip said. “Is that their mission? To be activists and not comedians?” Jennings pressed. “Well, sometimes the comedian does stop telling jokes and says serious things,” Touré replied. Jennings pushed on, adding, “During the Biden years, there was nobody who provided more comedy fodder possible than Joe Biden.” That was enough for the rest of the panel, who all began protesting at once that Biden had been on the receiving end of plenty of criticism and mockery.

House Republicans, who are now projected to keep control of the lower chamber, are demanding that top officials across the outgoing Biden administration retain documents and communications for potential investigations in the next session of Congress. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced on Tuesday that he and other GOP leaders sent a letter to every Cabinet secretary, telling each one to preserve records ahead of President-elect Donald Trump beginning his second term in the White House early next year. “As we begin preparation for a new Trump Administration and new Congress, we fully expect your cooperation in a smooth transition of power. To that end, it is imperative that during the transition you fully comply with all statutory record retention requirements, including but not limited to the Federal Records Act. In addition to compliance with federal record retention laws, we are also expressly directing that all necessary steps be taken to preserve relevant Department documents and communications,” they wrote. “During the 118th Congress, House Committees conducted robust oversight concerning the Biden-Harris Administration’s disastrous border policies, tragic Afghanistan withdrawal, collusion with social media companies to suppress free speech, and weaponization of federal agencies against its political opponents, as well as the antisemitism at our nation’s universities enabled by leading Democrats,” the GOP lawmakers added. “In the waning days of this Congress, House Committees will continue to seek compliance with many of the subpoenas with which you largely declined to cooperate. Likewise, as the 119th Congress begins, the Committees may determine that it is necessary to reissue certain subpoenas as they continue with their oversight efforts,” they continued, before signing off: “Thank you in advance for your compliance with this request.” Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ) announced on Monday, nearly one week after Election Day, that Republicans were projected to retain command of the House. As of press time, the GOP will have at least a two-seat majority. A handful of races have yet to be called. The Republicans completed a 2024 sweep that also included the GOP retaking the Senate and Trump winning back the White House. GOP leadership elections in the House are expected to take place on Wednesday. House Democrats are slated to hold their leadership elections next week. Johnson is running to keep the speaker’s gavel, but the House likely will not vote on that role until January. It remains to be seen if anyone challenges him.

Donald Trump's America First agenda is fundamentally a youth movement

Awful, just awful

'How awkward was that?'

'We try to go in a different direction'
