‘The View’: Whoopi Goldberg Delivers Sharp Response to Kimmel’s Comeback
The cohosts of The View devoted the first “Hot Topic” segment of the day on Wednesday’s (September 24) new episode to the return of Jimmy Kimmel Live! and his emotional opening monologue.
All of the cohosts had kind words to share about Jimmy Kimmel’s return, but for Whoopi Goldberg, it was particularly emblematic of something more important: individual liberty and the freedom to speak out against the government without retribution or silencing by officials.
“It’s your birthright as an American,” she said. “If you’re not happy with what’s going on, you’re allowed to say. If you don’t like how things are going, you’re allowed to. It is your birthright. That’s part of what makes you an American. It’s part of what makes us different than everybody else. And we acknowledge all of those Republicans who recognize that it’s not a right or left right. It is the right of all Americans. So if it goes for us on the left or the middle, it also goes for you on the right. So we want to make sure that everybody can still say and be who they want to be.”
She went on to, while briefly alluding to Donald Trump‘s controversial speech to the United Nations, add, “There is a great pride we still have in America, in spite of what you saw at the U.N. yesterday…. We are proud to be American. We’re proud to do what we do, and we’re proud that you all continue to watch us, whether you like what we’re saying or not. We appreciate you.”
Sara Haines praised Kimmel for clarifying that his words about Charlie Kirk‘s assassin weren’t meant to “mock a murder.” (On his September 16 show, which aired before ABC affiliates announced their intent to preempt and the network followed suit with a suspension, “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”)
“He did everything perfectly. I think he touched on the most important parts, like the protection of freedom of speech, but he also so emotionally recognized that his intention was never to mock a murder, and I think that’s where comedians are unique. You really have to think about the person you’re criticizing, because oftentimes Canadians are here to remind us that we need to hold governments accountable. We need to be able to equal opportunity offenders. We’re trying to make people laugh. He was so clear on that,” Haines said. “I love that he really took time to say thank you to those people who disagree with me, because they deserve credit for speaking up in a moment that it was so crucial.”
Joy Behar pointed out that the attacks on Kimmel from Trump and the FCC chairperson, whose warnings of potential federal action preceded ABC’s decision, are consistent with what happens in dictatorships. “Trump is not the first one to do this. Putin, for example, his first actions when he took power was to was to take over a TV network that aired a comedy show that mocked him with puppets. In Iran, they’ve done the same, something similar. Even in Turkey, with Erdogan, they don’t like a comedians. Why? Because comedians tell the truth, make you laugh and it resonates with you. Yeah, and they do not like that,” she said. “It’s interesting because they call themselves strong men, but they actually are very weak men because they can’t take a joke.”
Alyssa Farah Griffin praised Kimmel for humbling himself in the situation and pointing to its broader implications, saying, “What I loved was that Jimmy Kimmel made this bigger than himself. That line was key to me: ‘The show is not important. What is important is that we live in a country that allows us to have a show like this.’ He talked about his staff of 200 people multiple times, fellow late-night hosts who’ve come under threat. He talked about these damning reports that the Pentagon is cracking down on free speech. He’s talking about something so much bigger than this particular drama, and I thought that that was big of him to realize that he’s a symbol of a struggle that’s going on, but speaks to the broader moment.”
Then, Sunny Hostin echoed Griffin’s point about reports that the Pentagon is now requiring reporters to agree that they will only report on pre-approved information. “Now that is scary, and Kimmel says, ‘I know that’s not as interesting as muzzling a comedian, but it’s so important to have a free press, and it is nuts that we aren’t paying more attention to it,’ and I think that’s very, very important,” Hostin noted.

Wait a second. Have you spent any time in Europe? I have just lived there for 5 years. I have travelled and spent time in almost every country in Europe. The vast majority of the citizens there are desperate to get the immigration inder control. These countries are all on the verge of bankruptcy due to the immigration issues going on. All Trump is pointing out is that there needs to be some accountability from these countries not taking care of their own citizens. It makes him a bad guy because he is only saying what most of these leaders are afraidto say due to the fear of breaking ranks? Come on! Are we just goi g to wait until our countries go bankrupt?

Trump ran on, and runs commercials defending his ice raids on the worst of the worst criminals.... a female tamale vendor in a home depot parking lot in Chicago this morning was arrested and detained. I guess selling tamales makes you a criminal. Try researching what the statue of liberty represents.

Sometimes someone has to tell them where the bear shits in the buckwheat. For so long the US funds the whole mess and are the Worlds police and caretaker. When we have a National disaster do you see the other countries rushing to help us? Like he said they buy fuel from Russia so they have money to create havoc in Europe. Sure doesn't make much sense. The UN. doesn't do much whatsoever. They do nothing to stop mass immigration, so what good are they? They are a money pit for the US. They don't make the other countries pay up. He told it like it is, but people don't like the truth and that is the problem.

I think way too much importance is given to the opinions expressed on a show that pays these women millions of dollars to speak them and is dependent upon ratings to continue. They are TV hosts, not journalists. I hate The View. All they do is whine and make a LOT of money to do so. I dislike all of them; politics notwithstanding. I am tired of privileged thinking they always know what is right.

And they are no longer diverse on the political spectrum. Even at the beginning they were not evenly diverse Only one conservative. But at least there was some representation.

Maybe because only whipped women espoused conservative views, probably out of fear of physical abuse from their husbands. Most domestic issues and child sexual abuse comes from conservatives. Take the president for example.

David you are missing the point of who these women are. First and foremost they are all Americans with the rights of the Constitution behind them just as you are with your comment. If you were hired to be on this show, you would be doing the same thing, expressing your opinions. Just because someone is saying something you disagree with does not make them wrong and you right and vice versa. We can agree to disagree without hatred and violence, have you not learned anything since 09/10/2025? We as a people must stop this right, left bs and come together for the greater good. Stop being a "prawn" in someone's game ,and really see the man behind the curtain and understand what he, she, or them are asking of you. God Bless The USA. Amen. Peace.

Honestly, these women should not even be speaking on politics. They have no experience in politics and yet they throw around their mater of fact opinions as though what they say is accurate, even though when you fact check them, they are very often wrong. If you want to give your opinion,.make sure you say it's your opinion. They try to sell their opinions as fact, and the worst part is they habe no one at the table to refute them.

Why does everyone keep missing the fact that, if someone that works for me and spouts off their beliefs that in someway takes money away from my business in any way then yes I I have every right to suspend or even fire that said employee, especially if said comments were made on a show I was paying for. Everyone is so quick to blame Trump for you own elected officials failings.

Private businesses can fire you in most states for any reason you like. Nobody is really disputing that.
The government doesn't have the right to pressure the private business. The FCC head made a very public comment about revoking licensing prior to Kimmels suspension. That makes it a free speech issue. Not the suspension itself, but the fact the government- and the elected representatives of the government - are making noise and issuing threats like this.
6 1
-
P
You're either a moron or you don't recognize what the first amendment is. It's the same freedom of speech that allowed Charlie Kirk to spread hateful rhetoric, the same freedom of speech that allows a want to be king to say he's going to run for a third term. It was never about a company firing anyone. It was a political attack on our freedoms from a man whose a hypocrite.
7 4
-
C
Obviously this wasn't about that... it wasn't about ratings or even about being disrespectful to Kirk... it was about the political dictator in office pushing his agenda onto the network to fire or limit the comedians speech... it is much bigger than "just" firing a guy ... its about Trump using his power through the FCC and via networks to limit free speech.
3 2
-
G
As is always the case, Republicans fail to look at the truth and only see what they want. The FCC threatened the network to revoke their licenses, then they suspended Kimmel. So yes, had the network done that on their own, and there was a company policy against that, then the suspension would make sense, but seeing how the FCC made threats first, the government got involved before the suspension. But again, you see what you want and ignore the overall picture, because you only believe your side is right and everyone else is wrong.

What is most concerning is the statement of denying journalists, reporters, commentary by the "man on the street" who sees something and says something to the news medias powers that be who are then told they "must" get permission to report it "as is", and if it is "not" to the government's liking, it can not be reported to the public. Wow, that's a dictatorship not a democracy. We are a nation governed by our Constitution. Sadly, some in government with power, money, and who are backed by those with the same, see changes that would reduce those powers and their elitist prestige. Noting this group needs subordinates who will follow blindly when they feel their way of life is attacked and changing. By any means necessary to provide division, confusion and hatred of "the other" so be it. America "We The People" are a democracy. Blood has been lost for this ability to have "One Nation Under God". Please dont give it up so easily.

Generally, that's true with regards to the public's adverse reaction to one's speech, but the first amendment prohibits the GOVERNMENT from punishing one for his speech.

In this case, it was the TV network that chose to punish. Does the right to free speech mean you can spew hate of another person. Does it overrule common decency? Are there not consequences for destroying a person with your words. Especially deliberate lies .

We don't need "the government " punishing for free speech we are doing a very good job ourselves. Nobody wants to shut up therefore everyone has an opinion on "s" nobody knows about. Thr web has birthed so many wannabes reporters and know all figures that open their hole to yap about nothing smart.

Ktank What is forgotten by most is the same Constitutional right of the 1st Amendment allowing you Freedom of Speech, also applies as the same to the individual who debates your opinion. We must return to the stance of "Agreeing to Disagree". Without violence entering into it. However, alot of violence when it is placed in a mentally ill, delusional, gun / weapons individual who is unable to rationalize without violence, we have seen over and over again what can happen. Again, over and over again. And all the powers that be continuely say is: "My Condolences, I am sorry for your loss, we are praying for you and family". Enough ! Change the gun laws now.

These dumb donkeys keep repeating the same propaganda about Freedom of Speech.
No one was silenced. Failing to respect the recently deceased, celebrating violence & murder, and telling lies comes with consequences.
You are representing the company you work for and no one wants to put up with terrorists or those supporting it.
People, like the Viewless and Kommie Kimmel, get away with lying all the time while sowing seems of hate.
It's common sense and logic, something the Donkeyquack clown cult seriously lack because they're too busy pushing defamation, lies, terrorism, treason, and falsehoods.

As per usual, news media talks about everything EXCEPT what people who complained to the owners of over 1/4 of ABC stations were mad about.
The asinine claim that Charlie Kirk's assassination was done by someone who was 'MAGA' (in Kimmel's words 'attempts by MAGA world to make the shooter anything other than ONE OF THEIR OWN (emphasis added)...."
By the time Kimmel uttered those words, he knew them to be a lie.
News was widespread from the Utah governor and the authorities in Utah that he was NOT Maga, but actually the opposite.
His parents were not even politically pushing Republicans, but had zero social media posts about politics.
It was only from the words he wrote to his 'furry trans boyfriend roommate' that he felt his parents were 'pretty MAGA lately' and his parents reported that he had made hateful comments about Charlie Kirk and mentioned his upcoming campus event at dinner at his folks in advance of the event.
He revealed in texts to his 'roommate' that indeed he was the shooter and that he did it for the roommate because he felt Kirk's words about trans were 'hate speech'.
The media generally tried to push a narrative that the shooter had 'unknown' motives despite having engraved on the bullets trans and furry memes and calling for the death of anyone who doesn't call biological men women or biological women men.
The gaslighting and romantacising by certain reporters, including the following day of Kimmel's comments about a murderer was evil.

Many countries operate as republics, including: The United States, France, Germany, and India.
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
America is a Republic Country
What is a Republic | Definition of RepublicA republic is a form of government where the head of state is not a hereditary monarch and power is derived from the consent of the people, who elect representatives to govern on their behalf
The United States has a constitutional federal republic
They removed the pledge of Allegiance out of our school so they could lie about our true history wake up get it right

I find it amazing that the same people who are outraged that Jimmy Kimmel Live was suspended because he has a right to freedom of speech and he's a comedian and should be allowed to say whatever he wants even if it is hurtful to the wife and children of the man that was assisted. Who cares about them and their feelings. It also amazes me that all these same people weren't outraged when Rosanne was fired from her own show. She is also a comedian but she obviously does not have the right of freedom of speech. Then the remark from Madoona when Trump was in office the 1st time she made a comment about she wished the White House would blow up with him in it.
This is the kind of hate you all bring to the table. Free speech for people who agree with you.but not so much for people who don't. Charlie Kirk was a Christian who believed in thos values, that was his right but all you Jimmy lovers didn't care about his freedom of speech or that someone viciously took it away from him. That is where the hate is.

Charlie Kirk spewed hateful speech behind a veil of Christian faith. I wish I was a fly in heaven when he met our maker. I don't believe in hell, just returning here if you don't get it right. And I hope God sent Charlie back as a black gay man.

Again, the women of 'The View', especially Whoopi Goldberg & Joy Behar need ti be suspended from the show indefinitely! They say we have "the right to Freedomb of Speech". But; sadly, both of them go overboard depending on which guest they are talking to or about. Take Julia Roberts - she's a beautiful, famous Actress - Joy Behar tried to rip her to shreds when she was on not too long ago. Julia Roberts turned the table in her and made her look like the fool she is. Joy Behar is a has-been, blowhard & people are tired of her malicious behavior. As for Whoopi Goldberg, she's the worst of all, she's the meanest, ugliest person inside and out. She really believes her opinion matters when the public (Democrat or Republican) can't abide by her shenanigans! Neither one of them deserves to be on the show; much less, make money they do!

Sick and Tired Do you realize that you have expressed your heartfelt opinion about these two women in a hateful way (to the point of calling them ugly insides and out?), with your personal attack? But its your Considerational right to do so. As it is theirs to express their opinions. Agree to disagree, change the channel since you think they are ugly to look at and hard to listen to. Whether Democrat, Republican, or an Independent it is time to remove the unnecessary divisions and work together on the major problems facing the people of America. Put us first for once. Our Congress people, and Senators are sent by our votes (by the way) to work on our behalf and not theirs. Help to put America on its feet. The world is watching us and what we are projecting does not look pretty. Noting we have a leader who is yelling he hates his opponents on TV publicly, he seeks revenge on his behalf expressed it publicly, he demands dictatorship wants, and he has no professional, class decorum whatsoever as a representative of this country. Not a leader, a mentor, a positive presenter not only to his nation, but also to the other nations he is not. "If you want me to follow you, you must show me that you can lead." He is always negative, always a downer, always divisive.

Amen!!! How he believes that's its alright for himself to say horrible, mean & untrue things about people that didn't vote for him & countries that don't agree with him but if ANYONE says anything against him he comes unglued. So you don't like what Whoopi & Joy have to say about Trump & the people who work under him, that's fine you are allowed to have & express your opinion so why can't they? Even here you are telling people how much you dislike them & anyone that doesn't agree with Trump, his people & you yourself. Why is that alright? But it's not alright with you if people express their opinions that are different from Trump, his people & you? Who died & made you people God??? All I keep seeing are another Hitler, & all of the Tyrants & Dictators that have lived on this planet & pushed for everyone to agree with them or suffer the consequences they impose since the beginning of human time. Without the 1st Amendment in our Constitution none of us including you yourself would not be allowed to express your own opinions. What it comes down to is....You cannot have it both ways.

Its funny to hear the left complain about the sitting government controlling the media. When theft have and still are controlling the narrative Installed by the left. Has been for years. So unlike the left controlling the media, the right is trying to minimize the lies that cause divisiveness. The Dems are famous for headlines that have nothing to back them. And the view is a hen house from the bugs bunny show.. just need to show a couple of sour faced hosts knitting. Maybe a noose. Lol

You control your narrative; not the left or the right or even Bugs Bunny. YOU.
I am tired of both sides blaming the other and people believing it. They have failed us. I did not want to vote for either but we no longer get qualified candidates on either side. We get power brokers pushing through as much as they can before the next election.
Trump is a power hungry, money grabbing idiot who is drunk with excess. His day will come and he will fall hard. They all do sooner or later. He will be dust and no longer matter.
It is sad to see so many Republicans bow before him like he's a god. I don't think they will meet good endings either.
This mess will pass.
In the end, are we helping the poor, hungry and needy or are we gilding in gold while others go without or lose what little they had?
That is what really matters.
I do not think history will judge these people well.

It’s a matter of perceptions, opinions, and above all beliefs/ideologies. I was Extremely proud of President Trump’s speech to the UN. Where as Whoopi see’s it as something to apologize for. Also no government entity instructed ABC to suspend Kimmel. The network did that on its own. Also Kimmel used his platform to bend truth, actually lie out and out. YES it’s been clearly stated and shown that the shooter was born into and his parents Tried to raise him with conservative beliefs. But through no fault of their own HE deliberately chose and adhered to a very hard, hard left ideology( TO hard right is just as dangerous, it’s called extremism). He was/is a fully grown adult. He was/is Four years older than when I went in the military. He was in a trans lover relationship. He was definitely NOT a conservative right leaning person. And the evidence was already there to that when Kimmel made his original statements. I love how Kimmel is being painted as some sort of hero for Bravely missing a show for His words where Charlie Kirk lost his LIFE for his words. Members of the far, far left won’t even let Charlie RIP, destroying memorials in his honor. When I say far left I’m NOT referring to traditional Democrats. Though I don’t agree with most of their beliefs they are at least reasonable and usually fairly civil. Extremism in BOTH main political parties is a Bad thing for our country. THOSE are the people on Both sides who use Violence. We Need to use the ballot box not violence.

Good reply but just to be clear I have conservative friends that are gay as well, so let's not just put that to one group. Remember the gays for Trump. Me myself is a proud independent who can see good things from both side. Once again very nice post.

I would have to agree with Whoopi on the Trump U.N. address. I was embarrassed for our country.
We are a diverse culture. We should embrace our diversity and not stifle it.
As far as the Charlie Kirk murder, This is obvious that this 22 yr old kid was mentally disturbed. We as a nation should be asking why we have so many mentally disturbed young people.

I was extremely embarrassed by or presidents speech.Once again begging for the Nobel Prize, calling out so many Nations for their wrongs. Conservatives need to read about his solving 7 wars….many didn’t exist and actually not wars. Solve the Russia/Ukraine war in one day would be great.

Linda nothing he brags about if fact checked, is true. He is embarrassing as a speaker even when the words are written for him, his mind wanders thus he speaks off the cuff, sounding like a 2nd grader (sorry 2nd graders to link him to you). Prime example, Mrs Kirk forgave, Trump a supposed national leader yelling "he hates his opponents". Where is the leadership? The World is watching not a Democratic leader but a dictator. All he needed was shoe to bang on the podium to prove this point.

The only way Trump should be given the Nobel prize is if it’s given to him for spouting the most number of lies in the shortest amount of time ! Too bad there isn’t a prize for most unqualified president !

And of course you forget about Jan 6th, and how right extremists attacked the capital. You, like most extremists, are hypocritical and believe that when you do something horrible for your beliefs that is justified, but when the opposite extremists do the exact same form of violence it shows how bad they are. So the message for you would be to look at your own actions and words and realize you are just as bad.

Sadly, extremists tried burning the police station in Seattle, and your side called them "people expressing themselves".
However, people walking through doors being held open by Capitol Guards are incursionists?
The problem is IN YOUR HEAD!

I think most of the extremism is coming from our president and his sycophants. Immediately after the shooting was broadcast he told the country it was Democrats (plural) that was responsible, even trying to elude that they were non-white. That is the sign of a weak, divisive wannabe dictator. And, on the world stage, he seems to have cognitive issues and his vocabulary which has always been elementary is embarrassing. He's not the president for all Americans therefore he's not fit to be president period!!!!!!!

Yeah I agree with you. If government did this, then why was everybody outside of Disney and ABC studios protesting? The president was out of the country when this happened. They always want to blame somebody but theirselves
They sat there the other day and let Kamala Harris say this was the tightest race and US history. Lol. She didn't even win one battleground state! And the sad part is she actually believes that and they agreed with her
80% of the country voted for him. We all saw the map on election night.

Hello Crying4America... Hello..
The FCC who answers to Trump, took their orders from him to pressure Disney through their twi affiliates to stop immediately Kimmel's show and did so with an indefinite cancelation. The FCC was able to do so by treat from Trump by holding at bay once again $6.2M merger agreement between the affiliates and Disney over their heads, plus a lawsuit. They bowed to pressure for 6 days. Not caring about staff of these companies who are not millionaires with families' their concerns.Look and listen with open ears to the 09/10/25 Kimmel show and rewatch his show of 09/11/25. On the 10th he expressed deep heartfelt condolence to Mrs Kirk, and the family. On the 11th, his comment "Was Not" to mock the murder of Mr Kirk, which he detested, but directed to those of division, confusion, and hatred trying to direct your attention that this killer was acting on behalf of the other side they lay no claim to the killer. Hello? No one would. The killer was mentally ill, delusional and carried a gun (2nd Amendment rights). Togetherness America, Not Division Anymore. God Bless The USA.

There was no speech given to the u.N, it was an example of trump saying how wonderful he is, and all that he's doing, he is doing nothing but breeding hate, and if you agree with him maybe you need to look in the mirror

Yes, I agree. He’s breeding hate. But there were already so many racists out there hiding. I mean secretly hating people that are non-white. He didn’t have to look far for some supporters.

Were you also proud on Trump's contradictions within that speech? Or did you not notice them?
For example, Trump says Europe has to get off Russian oil. That is obvious, but apparently Trump is not aware that countries have been trying to do that for 3 years. He has forgotten how much they suffered without heating oil and gasoline. Trump offered no solution, just a demand (which also provides a convenient excuse to not help Ukraine - again). Russian oil is provided to European countries via pipelines. Shipping to ports - especially Coldwater ports - couldn't keep up, and landlocked countries don't have ports. Buying oil from somewhere else is one thing; getting it to the destinations is another, and that infrastructure doesn't exist yet and will take time to build.
In the very same speech, Trump went after Europe going into Green Energy - which is how they are reducing dependence on Russian oil. Germany is the closest to getting off Russian oil by going Green, and Trump singled Germany out.
In that speech Trump also said European countries should shoot down Russian planes in their air space. But he hasn't when Russia planes have been over US airspace in Alaska. Ships, too.
Nor did Trump say the US would help European countries that shoot those planes down when (not if) Russian retaliates. European leaders know darn well Trump flip flops, and he can't be trusted. (eg Tariffs one day, changed the next).
That might be why one attendee at the speech said Trump is deranged.

"I was Extremely proud of President Trump's speech to the UN" while I was completely embarrassed though I only watched the "highlights" on Colbert and Meyers. And you don't think Trump is an example of extremism? My God, he ripped into his AG Pam Bondi because she doesn't do enough to prosecute his "enemies" like Leticia James of which was cause for him to fire another attorney because that attorney found no dirt on her and yet he still wants her prosecuted because she found him liable for fraudulent business practices. Not to mention his thinking of suing ABC for more money because of them bringing Kimmel back. He really should leave well enough alone and let nature take its course whether it means low ratings and cancellation or higher ratings and an extentiion of his contract which is up next May, the same time Colbert is leaving because CBS will no longer extend his contract...

You're a moron. Charlie Kirk was a hateful hypocrite hiding behind his supposed Christian faith. Nothing he said represented a god fearing man. Kimmel said nothing that mocked Charlie Kirk. It mocked the hypocrisy of the now republican party. Charlie Kirk had freedom of speech. Our supposed president has way to much freedom of speech. And yes, trumps head of the FCC made a verbal threat on a live podcast. Charlie's celebration of life was used as a political rally. Nobody deserves to die for their opinion, nor do they deserve to be suspended under political pressure. This country is going to hell and trumps UN speech was like watching a house in fire burn to the ground.

Just because it’s left doesn’t make it wrong. Free speech remember first amendment.
State run TV is not here yet but with continual attacks on certain TV shows that the president does not like because of their satire of him. Why do you think the government cut PBS?
Right now, there is a merger between Nexstar and Tegna media. This will be a huge merger, creating a monopoly. If this happens, it would be easier for this administration to attack any speech that does not sound and concur with his views and ideologies.

Thats the whole argument the alphabet networks recieve government funds. Have doing so for decades. The minute they quit being bipartisan they should have lost funding according to the fcc agreement. Trump should cut the funding now
