Overnight, a small group of Democrats proved that their party was in the driver’s seat of the longest U.S. government shutdown by crossing the aisle and voting with Republicans to reopen the government. The multimillionaires of ABC News’s The View were so bitter about federal workers getting paid and SNAP recipients getting food that they were raging and screaming into the cameras. The majority were angry over Democrats giving up their political leverage against Republicans following their electoral victories last week. One of them even shouted: “I want an opposition party!” At the top of the show, moderator Whoopi Goldberg tacitly admitted that it was Democrats who were holding out during the government shutdown, and whined that “eight senate Democrats threw in the towel by siding with the GOP to advance a vote that could lead to the government reopening.”   The View finally admits that it was Democrats who were holding up the vote to keep the government open, and now they're very upset that 8 Dems broke ranks and sided with Republicans to make sure people could put food on the table: WHOOPI: The biggest sticking point in the… pic.twitter.com/wv1TUaPw8r — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) November 10, 2025   Despite those eight Democrats proving that the left was the group digging their heels in and shutting down the government, co-host Sunny Hostin was desperate to keep the false narrative (that Republicans were responsible) going: Let's be clear. The Republicans run the House. The Republicans run the Senate. The Republicans run the White House. The Republicans run the Supreme Court, as far as I'm concerned. This was a choice by Republicans to cut snap benefits! This was a choice Republicans to cut ACA subsidies! This was a choice by the Republicans to gut the federal government and federal employment! Democrats had nothing to do with it. “I want an opposition party!” screamed Hostin, herself a multimillionaire. “I think the Democrats caved! I think the Democrats let down the American people!”   Desperate to cling to a narrative that was just shattered, Sunny Hostin is still insisting that Republicans were the ones who shut down the government and RAGES at Democrats for giving in: "This was a choice by Republicans to cut SNAP benefits! This was a choice by Republicans… pic.twitter.com/q3DtEjLOKd — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) November 10, 2025   Hostin, who didn’t need to worry about putting food on her table, started shouting “shame” at Democrats: You know, you do something like this. Shame on you the first time. You do it twice, three times, four time, shame on me. Shame on the Democrats for even believing that the Republicans will, you know, even vote on it! There's no guarantee in this new deal. That there's going to be a vote. There's no even commitment to have a vote. So, the bottom line is the Democrats went into a after a blue wave, the American people saying we do want to opposition. We – The working people want the Democratic Party to fight for them. And now they just caved and surrendered. “I think Chuck Schumer, his days are over! If he cannot keep his caucus together – If he cannot keep his caucus together, he needs to go, he needs to be replaced,” Hostin declared, proving herself to be the more outraged on the set.   Sara Haines notes that no one on the cast receives SNAP benefits or healthcare subsidies - but gets interrupted by Hostin, who asserts she has family members on SNAP. Sunny is a multimillionaire. Why isn't she helping her family members? pic.twitter.com/CtevYahrRD — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) November 10, 2025   Pretend independent Sara Haines tried to take the counter position that it was better to reopen the government because people where suffering and couldn’t feed their families, and that Democratic opposition wasn’t actually helping anyone. Hostin jumped down her throat (Click “expand”): HAINES: I disagree with you Sunny for this reason. What you rattled off. The Republicans run the executive branch, the legislative, the judicial according to you. They have all the power right now. The problem here is it's a privilege to say, ‘our food's not affected, our health insurance. [Crosstalk] HOSTIN: There are people in my family that receive SNAP benefits! HAINES: I’m not saying – I’m not meaning family. We’re all effected by – as we go out. I’m saying right here to say it's a privilege that they don't have healthcare and now they don't have food. The people are struggling so much, our food banks all week in our towns were at the food bank. We were delivering non-stop and kept getting notifications ‘they're empty again,’ ‘they’re empty again.’ Opposition? People can vote in a blue wave and say but opposition, when you have no power, is not helping us at all! They need food on the table. We need our flights back up in the air. The holidays are coming. People can’t afford Christmas. HOSTIN: The Republican Party should have done it! If Hostin really did have family members on SNAP, why wasn’t she using her millions to help her family out? In 2023, she took the side of subway menace Jordan Neely and claimed she would have given him all her money freely; and tired to say the other passengers had no humanity in them.   Ignorance or insidious misinformation? Hostin clashes with Haines and insists that Republicans could have opened the government without Democratic Party votes: HAINES: Opposition? People can vote in a blue wave and say but opposition, when you have no power, is not helping us at… pic.twitter.com/VSYfhmoxgn — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) November 10, 2025   Hostin and fake Republican Ana Navarro teamed up to use incendiary rhetoric against Trump and Republicans that could incite even more assassination attempts against those on the right, suggesting the right was okay with people dying without healthcare: NAVARRO: If people lose insurance, if people drop out of insurance, not only will it be the death of Obamacare, it will be the death of Americans! Because people will not go get screenings. People will get diagnosed with later stages of cancer and this will cost lives! And we must demand better starting with Donald Trump! [Crosstalk] HOSTIN: And we're not going to get better, because with Donald Trump the cruelty is the point! He does not care! It's a Republican choice!   Screaming at the top of her lungs, Hostin continues to RAGE at Democrats for thinking they were helping federal workers. She shouts that they should have just let the workers duke it out in court: "With Donald Trump, the cruelty is the point! He does not care! It's a Republican… pic.twitter.com/WvsJffOecS — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) November 10, 2025   Hostin would go one to monopolize more of their airtime by insisting that the solution for federal workers who were drawing on their savings was to pursue expensive and drawn out legal battles. Faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin clapped back by noting that SNAP recipients couldn’t put food on their tables: HOSTIN: So, the fact that the Democrats traded in their vote to get federal workers working again is ludicrous! Let the courts do their job! Go through courts and let the courts do their job! FARAH GRIFFIN: No, it’s to get SNAP benefits out! People can't eat. People can't afford the holidays. Goldberg ended the segment by touting how Senator John Fetterman (D-PA), who was one of the Democrats who voted with Republicans, would be on the show the next day and how it gave them the opportunity to attack him.   The View says they're excited to have Senator John Fetterman on the show tomorrow so they can attack him over voting to reopen the government. pic.twitter.com/QCH4OKw4l1 — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) November 10, 2025   The transcript is below. Click "expand" to read: ABC’s The View November 10, 2025 11:02:29 a.m. Eastern WHOOPI GOLDBERG: So, let us tell you what's been going on. The biggest sticking point in the longest U.S. government shutdown has been Democrats demanding that Republicans negotiate to extend healthcare subsidies that are about to expire. But last night, eight senate Democrats threw in the towel by siding with the GOP to advance a vote that could lead to the government reopening and they tried to explain themselves to their unhappy colleagues. (…) 11:03:45 a.m. Eastern GOLDBERG: So, I mean, you know. 50-50 chance of negotiating healthcare subsidies. I just remember all of the people who are coming in and hoping that people would vote them in and say, ‘yes, you can be this person, you can be judge or you can be this.’ And they all said, ‘no, we're not going to mess with anything. We're going to leave everything as it was.’ I have no faith they're not going to negotiate and come back to the table. And, you know, I'm glad that folks may be – because again, we have seen, you say this is going to happen and then it doesn't happen. So, surprise me and show me that this is really that people are going to get their money. That people are going to get the money that they are entitled to. It's not a gift. They're entitled to this money during the shutdown, when there's a shutdown. You're entitle today that money. SUNNY HOSTIN: Yeah. There’s a contingency fund for that. GOLDBERG: This idea that they're giving in and giving this as a gift, it's not a gift. You know. I don't understand. So, is he right that Americans wanted Democrats to keep fighting. This would -- and you know, people will get rehired supposedly. Federal workers and reinstate SNAP benefits but a 50-50 chance of extending the subsidies, I don't believe it. (…) 11:06:46 a.m. Eastern HOSTIN: Let's be clear. The Republicans run the House. The Republicans run the Senate. The Republicans run the White House. The Republicans run the Supreme Court, as far as I'm concerned. This was a choice by Republicans to cut snap benefits! This was a choice Republicans to cut ACA subsidies! This was a choice by the Republicans to gut the federal government and federal employment! Democrats had nothing to do with it. I want an opposition party! I think the Democrats caved! I think the Democrats let down the American people! And like you, Whoopi, I have absolutely no faith that the Republican Party will come to the negotiating table in good faith. You know, you do something like this. Shame on you the first time. You do it twice, three times, four time, shame on me. Shame on the Democrats for even believing that the Republicans will, you know, even vote on it! There's no guarantee in this new deal. That there's going to be a vote. There's no even commitment to have a vote. So, the bottom line is the Democrats went into a after a blue wave, the American people saying we do want to opposition. We – The working people want the Democratic Party to fight for them. And now they just caved and surrendered. I think Chuck Schumer, his days are over! If he cannot keep his caucus together – If he cannot keep his caucus together, he needs to go, he needs to be replaced. SARA HAINES: I disagree with you Sunny for this reason. What you rattled off. The Republicans run the executive branch, the legislative, the judicial according to you. They have all the power right now. The problem here is it's a privilege to say, ‘our food's not affected, our health insurance. [Crosstalk] HOSTIN: There are people in my family that receive SNAP benefits!

People can’t afford Christmas. HOSTIN: The Republican Party should have done it! (…) 11:11:12 a.m. Eastern ANA NAVARRO: …while he [Trump] refuses to fund SNAP benefits and you know what we are doing with this deal?! We are changing one group of suffering American, the federal workers and the SNAP benefits, for another one! Because people have no idea how much they're going to need to pay for health insurance! The premiums have gone out and they are up 100, 200, almost 300 percent in some cases. If people lose insurance, if people drop out of insurance, not only will it be the death of Obamacare, it will be the death of Americans! Because people will not go get screenings. People will get diagnosed with later stages of cancer and this will cost lives! And we must demand better starting with Donald Trump! [Crosstalk] HOSTIN: And we're not going to get better, because with Donald Trump the cruelty is the point! He does not care! It's a Republican choice! The last thing I'll say about the federal workers, there's a 2019 law that requires the federal government to pay federal workers! GOLDBERG: You must! It's the law! HOSTIN: It’s the law! So, the fact that the Democrats traded in their vote to get federal workers working again is ludicrous! Let the courts do their job! Go through courts and let the courts do their job! ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: No, it’s to get SNAP benefits out! People can't eat. People can't afford the holidays. (…)

Young men are inheriting a spiritually starving society, where they’re being sold a future of cheap pleasures, hollow heroes, and never-ending screen time.It’s a lot of noise, and it will rob the youth of all purpose.But Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck has some advice.“If there is anything virtuous, lovely, of good report, or praiseworthy, seek those things. Don’t admire them. Don’t nod at them. Seek them. Hunt them. Chase them. Build your life around those things,” Glenn explains.“A man who will do that, a boy, a young man who will do that, will become different, noticeably different. He will stop letting the culture feed him garbage. He stops applauding the trivial. He stops laughing at the obscene or cheering for the cruel. He will become a curator of real, lasting beauty in an age that has forgotten what beauty even looks like.”“When other men are chasing down or holding up cynicism, this man holds up hope. When everyone around him is chasing dopamine, he chooses discipline. When others will blame their circumstance, he’ll take responsibility for his own action. When the world worships the shallow, he goes and searches for the deep.”“You become what you seek. If you seek trash, you become trash. You seek virtue, you become a man of virtue. You seek excellence, and your life will begin to shine, not loudly, but steadily like the steel glow of a blade being forged.”The world, Glenn says, already has a never-ending supply of “angry,” “addicted,” and “distracted” boys.What it needs now, he explains, are men.“Whole men. Clear-eyed men. Men whose souls are anchored to something higher than the algorithms trying to own them,” he says. “Build a life worthy of admiration. Forget about the applause. Fill your mind with words that make you wiser.”Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Imagine spending four years studying to become an engineer or computer scientist, believing a STEM degree would guarantee success, only to graduate jobless.That isn’t a hypothetical. It’s the reality facing thousands of young Americans. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, graduates in physics, computer engineering, and computer science now face some of the highest unemployment rates of any field.American workers have lost out on jobs given to visa holders and have been forced to work for lower wages, creating a race to the bottom for companies to treat workers as widgets.America’s flawed H-1B visa system is a major reason why. Established under the Immigration Act of 1990, the H-1B program was intended to let companies hire exceptional foreign specialists only when no qualified Americans were available.It no longer serves that purpose. Today the H-1B has become the nation’s largest temporary work visa program, with nearly 600,000 foreign workers and 50,000 participating companies. In 2022, the 30 biggest H-1B employers hired more than 34,000 new visa workers while cutting roughly 85,000 existing jobs.Companies claim they can’t find American STEM talent, yet the numbers tell a different story. In 2023, roughly 134,000 Americans and green card holders earned computer science degrees. That same year, the federal government issued work permits to 110,000 foreign guest workers in computer-related jobs.In some STEM fields, up to half of new American graduates can’t find work. Tens of thousands of qualified workers remain unemployed while their government floods the market with cheaper, compliant labor.How companies game the systemThe law requires H-1B workers to be paid the same as Americans, but reality tells another story. In 2019, 60% of H-1B positions paid below the median wage for comparable U.S. workers. The visa lottery treats low-paying jobs and high-paying jobs the same, incentivizing companies to pursue cheap labor.Even the statutory cap on H-1B visas doesn’t stop abuse. A loophole known as Optional Practical Training lets foreign students work in the United States for up to a year after graduation, or three years if they hold a STEM degree.OPT isn’t authorized by law. It has no cap, no wage floor, and no accountability. Worse, it acts as a corporate subsidy because employers don’t pay payroll taxes on any of the half million foreign workers now in the country under this program.Time for a real fixEven the architects of the H-1B system admit it’s broken. Former Connecticut Rep. Bruce Morrison, a Democrat who helped design the visa in 1990, told “60 Minutes” in 2017 that “the H-1B has been hijacked as the main highway to bring people from abroad and displace Americans.”To build on that effort, I’ve reintroduced the American Tech Workforce Act, which attacks the problem on three fronts.RELATED: Trump admin announces major H-1B visa abuse investigation, but critics want more Photo by Andrew Harnik / Contributor via Getty ImagesFirst, it raises the wage floor. Companies that truly need foreign specialists should pay them the same as top American workers, ending the incentive to undercut domestic wages.Second, it closes the OPT loophole. Foreign students shouldn’t have a back door to replace American graduates. The jobs belong to the people who earned them here.Finally, my bill would shut down staffing scams. Third-party agencies flood the H-1B lottery with low-quality applications to drive down wages. My bill blocks those schemes and creates a true marketplace where visas go to the highest bidders — boosting both fairness and economic value.According to the Institute for Progress, these reforms would strengthen the economy by $1.1 trillion over the next decade.Putting Americans firstThe current system rewards corporate exploitation and punishes American ambition. Workers lose jobs, wages stagnate, and graduates who followed every rule are told to wait in line behind foreign contractors. Discrimination based on national origin is already illegal, yet Washington’s visa policies effectively endorse it.President Trump’s executive order, combined with the American Tech Workforce Act, offers a rare opportunity to restore sanity to the system. We can defend innovation while defending American workers — the people who built this country and still drive its future.The next generation deserves more than broken promises and outsourced dreams. They deserve a fair shot to work, build, and thrive in the nation they call home.
