Trish Regan reports ABC is canceling 'The View,' citing Rosie O'Donnell's TikTok confirmation that the network reviews the show's "liberal bias." While O'Donnell blames Donald Trump, Regan argues economics and a refusal to cover entertainment news drove the decision, noting local affiliates reject costly syndication. The segment highlights host dysfunction, with Joy Behar's past comments on Russian interference underscoring the program's polarizing nature and eroded viewer trust. Ultimately, this cancellation signals a broader shift where strident one-sidedness fails in an evolving media landscape. [Automatically generated summary]

The View Gets Cancelled00:08:03
And we're live.
It's good to see you all.
Happy Monday.
We knew this day would come, did we not?
That the view would be canceled.
They're getting their cancellation notice, and none other than Rosie O'Donald is providing it.
I will explain.
Yes, I'm still on the road, as you can see, somewhere in the middle of the Mediterranean.
It's great to have you all here.
Make sure you subscribe, share, like, all that good stuff.
We are getting closer and closer and closer to a million subs here on the Trish Regan channel.
So thank you for everything that you do.
All the comments, All the enthusiasm.
It really, really helps.
I'm telling you that.
I mean it from the bottom of my heart.
I'm just looking at your comments here in real time.
And I'm almost in pink, guys.
You're trying to guess what I'm wearing.
It's kind of a corally red, but we'll go with pink, right?
Or salmon.
There you go.
Anyway, again, great to have you all here.
Big news on the view front.
We also have some other big news coming to us by way of Donald Trump.
And Donald Trump, of course, whoa, our graphics are looking pretty interesting.
Donald Trump.
Saying he's taking on DC, taking on DC.
And this is epic.
I mean, wow.
I'm just letting the team know that we are live so that we get the word out and everybody can tune in.
He's not messing around.
I mean, you should have heard him in a press conference a little bit earlier today.
I'm going to share that with you just a quick little snippet before we get to the view and a few other big stories.
Here we go.
And we're getting rid of the slums, too.
We have slums here.
We're getting rid of them.
I know it's not politically correct.
You'll say, oh, so terrible.
No, we're getting rid of the slums.
Whoa.
Okay.
So people are freaking out over that.
I'm sure the view is going to have plenty to say.
Oh, but wait.
You see, the view is on hiatus.
The view is on hiatus.
And they let that one slip.
Remember recently before they took their August break?
And what has come out is that people don't actually think the view is coming back.
Certainly not Rosie O'Donnell.
Thank you for the nice compliment.
Chow Kung Kat.
I appreciate it.
Beautiful scenery, right?
Absolutely beautiful.
You know, guys, the sun just came out behind me here.
It was not on earlier.
So great to have you all here.
This is a big story.
The View getting a cancellation notice of sorts from none other than Rosie O'Donnell.
So let me explain.
Rosie O'Donnell worked on the show.
Apparently, she worked on it twice.
I knew that she had worked once, but apparently, she did two rounds as a View host.
So she kind of knows.
I've said this all along that they're going to cancel the thing.
And I know that because I've worked in enough networks, I kind of know how this stuff goes down.
And Rosie, this might be the one and only time she and I actually agree on something.
Now, the motivation behind why they're canceling the show, that's actually something that we do dispute because she thinks it's entirely, of course, because everything's Trump's fault, right?
Everything.
She thinks it's all his fault.
I actually think it has more to do with the economics and the changing media landscape that's going on.
It's a little bit also just a prophecy of their own doing because they were so, so strident and so one way for so long.
That it took its toll on the viewers.
So the viewers don't really trust them, but that's not Trump's fault.
Anyway, here's Rosie, just so you get to see.
Oh gosh, I'm going to really have to move in close if I'm going to see this or I can pull it up a little bit on my phone here because she's just out for blood, effectively.
Rosie O'Donnell, who I never got to see in Ireland.
Gosh darn it.
Her loss.
Silencing The View.
You know what I just read today?
She writes, and this is on TikTok that she writes this ABC is reviewing the liberal bias on The View.
The View, the show with five women speaking there.
She's got a typo in there.
She means their own opinions.
That's the threat now.
They say they're not canceling it.
They're just, quote, reviewing the bias, which is code for we're gonna cancel it.
Okay, she's right on that.
We're gonna cancel it.
ABC's gonna cancel it.
Like, it's a matter of time.
I've said this all along.
We're just trying to soften you up first because it's not enough to run the country into the ground, she writes.
You have to control what people see, what they hear, what they think, and the view.
Well, that's just a little too much woman.
Okay, so now it's Chump's fault and it's.
Men's fault.
Just so we're on the same page, so we get where she's going.
Well, that's too much, woman.
A little too much truth, a little too much Joy Behar saying, I don't think the insurrection was a tourist visit, Karen.
Apparently, the truth is dangerous now.
Wow.
Like, have you ever watched the show?
Like, there's no, it's like their crazy little version of truth.
I mean, remember they had to read like four notes in one day?
They kept having to read these legal notes because they kept saying things that were totally, utterly wrong.
I mean, so she goes on here.
It's like four pages.
She said, I've done The View twice.
I know how hard it is to get four women to agree on lunch, let alone politics.
So don't tell me The View is some radical leftist threat.
This isn't about bias.
This is about obedience.
This is about removing any program that doesn't align with Trumpism.
Oh my gosh.
Saw fascism in full lashes with commercial breaks.
Okay, that's kind of funny.
First, they came for the journalists, then the educators, then the librarians.
Now it's Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg.
It would be funny if it weren't so terrifying, she writes, because.
When the only voices left on TV are nodding along to the conspiracy theories, we are not a democracy anymore.
We are a dictatorship in good lighting.
Wow.
It's like, it's like she, I mean, like, how can you watch that show, guys, and actually think that that show is anything other than totally biased?
I mean, the bias is off the charts on that show.
She's on and on and on.
When they cancel the view, who on the left is going to be able to say this is insane?
When they label truth as bias.
Bias and disagreement is danger, and they start scrubbing the airways.
I mean, gosh, she sounds like I sounded a little bit during the Biden years because during the Biden years, you really weren't able to say things.
Like, let's just be perfectly honest and call a spade a spade, right?
It was nuts.
I had to come up with a euphemism when I talked about that virus that you weren't supposed to talk about.
I refer to it still to this day as March 2020.
The left was rabid.
I mean, remember Chuck Schumer going after Tucker Carlson?
I actually think that that is one of the reasons Tucker lost his gig.
I mean, maybe one of the reasons I went a little too far.
You couldn't say that March 2020 was a political thing.
That was not allowed, remember?
I mean, fine.
Heck, I'm in the Mediterranean doing my show here live today.
So, all's well, it ends well.
I'd take this trade any day of the week, right?
And being able to be independent has enabled me to be able to say whatever I want to say.
So, okay, maybe they can't say what they want on The View, but hey, guess what, Rosie?
They can go hang out at Shingle, start a podcast.
Oh, wait, but nobody would listen.
Nobody would watch because who would actually want to see that?
Like, let's just be honest again.
Who would tune in?
To the likes of Joy Behar joining on and on and on, or Sonny, whatever her name is, on and on and on about how much they hate Trump.
I mean, it gets a little bit old after a while.
And what did Bob Iger request that they do?
Bob specifically went to them alongside the ABC News president, alongside the executive producer for the show, and he asked the ladies, hey, maybe we could cover some entertainment news.
They don't want to cover the entertainment news.
No, they want to stick to politics.
The problem is they've been totally wrong on politics, and they're obviously out of sync with the American public.
But, you know, Rosie's giving them cover here because when they get fired, they're going to say, oh, it's Trump's fault, just like they predicted, right?
Watch.
So you said recently that you thought that you, as an outspoken critic, could be a target yourself.
Fear of Dictatorship Rising00:02:31
Some people think that sounds overdramatic, but I'm right there with you.
I think that he is so vindictive that he will go after however he has to, through the IRS maybe, or even, you know, through sponsors to get us off the air maybe.
Or you.
How seriously should we be taking that?
Well, So, I was asked, Am I worried about me?
And my answer was, I'm worried about all of us.
I'm no more worried about me than I am worried about everybody in the country.
I think it's bad to have somebody saying, Give me as much power as you can in this country so I can use it to go after other Americans, so I can use it to go after these subhuman internal enemies and I'll destroy them.
Yeah.
Like, that's just not a good system for anybody.
And I don't think anybody's safe if that's the sort of basis on which he wants to get more power.
Well, remember when Nixon had an enemies list?
That was a proud moment for a lot of people.
If they were on the enemy list.
Maybe we need to turn it around like that.
Well, I don't, I mean, I think that if he decides that he's going to go after you or me or anybody who's well known, you know, we have resources, we'll likely be fine.
But I think there's a pattern where he picks out individual people and effectively terrorizes them.
I mean, there's Stormy Daniels wearing a bulletproof vest to get into the courthouse.
Yeah, it's ridiculous.
Once you have political violence, you have fascism following that.
Of course you do.
I mean, but, you know, We've been hearing it over and over and over again.
It's really weird.
It's like they're so upset.
They do not like that he won.
So now, you know, they don't have Russia, Russia, Russia.
Well, maybe they do.
I don't know.
Like their line now is dictatorship, dictatorship, dictatorship.
And it's like, guys, come on.
I mean, one, they can't ever take a joke.
And two, the minute somebody says anything that disputes their point of view, they try and shut it down.
And so now they're going to the dictatorship.
And we went through the Russian hoax thing.
They were already back then saying, not our president.
I mean, it was really, you want to talk about people talking about who won the election, et cetera, et cetera.
Hillary Clinton started all that.
We have watched that.
I will not play that for you again today, I promise.
Maybe tomorrow.
But we've seen the soundbite, you know, the full 10 minutes that they have of Jimmy Carter and Hillary Clinton and everyone out there spinning that Obama narrative of, oh, Donald Trump didn't really win in 2016 because it was the Russians who helped him.
I mean, that's a heck of a thing to say.
Local News Takes Over00:02:44
Think about that.
That's awful.
It's absolutely awful.
Oh, and guess where she said it?
Dun, dun, dun.
The view, of course.
It's like, you know, you just call up your friends at the view and.
You get New York Times and Washington Post on speed dial if you're part of this operation, Democrat operation controlling the media airways, and they do your bidding.
Here was Hillary.
There is no denying that the Russians interfered in the election.
Whether or not they had willing or unwitting help from the Trump team, they interfered and they did so to help him and hurt me, and they did so to destabilize our democracy, and they have not stopped.
I mean, there's been enough.
Public testimony before Congress now by very distinguished, experienced intelligence professionals who all say the same thing.
This is a clear and present danger to our country.
And I think it's important, and I would say this.
Okay, so Rosie O'Donnell has now come out and said what I've said all along, and that is this show is going away.
And so the executives at this point, they're going through things, they're doing allegedly this bias review because they're trying to offer up.
Something different, something different that doesn't just smack of so much bias.
I mean, Brandon the car was talking about this recently, specifically as it related to The View, because he said he thought The View could be in a little bit of trouble.
And when you look at what CBS is doing, for example, part of their settlement with Donald Trump after the 60 minutes Kamala Harris debacle of an interview where they actually made her sound like she could string a sentence together.
Well, what did they do?
They decided in that settlement to make sure that they.
We're better diversified, right?
In terms of their news value.
I mean, The View has a problem because they're on FCC controlled airwaves, meaning all those ABC affiliates are all around the country.
By the way, they don't even want to take the show.
Like, who would want to take that show?
You're paying for that show.
It's like, really?
Do I have to take The View?
They would much rather do their own local news produced version of The View with their own local news personalities and covering local issues that will be far less costly.
And by the way, Probably more relevant, right, to all of those local communities.
So Brennan Carr knows this and he's put ABC on notice and he specifically called out The View for their bias as the White House said, Well, you know, this show is filled, I think the quote was, with a bunch of losers.
