Tuesday was day two of The View’s meltdown over President Trump arresting Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and extraditing him to the U.S. This time however, co-host Sunny Hostin amped up her rhetoric from the previous day and argued that Maduro should have remained in power because his removal supposedly wasn’t done the “right” way. It was also Joy Behar’s first day back since their winter hiatus and she was upset that Maduro was out and America was the strongest country in the world. At one point, Behar admitted that she wasn’t really following the news of the day because “I have a life,” despite it being literally her job (which explained a lot about her chronic ignorance), and was upset by the idea of other dictators possibly being from power: Here’s what I don't understand. I may not be up on all of this stuff because I have a life. But, okay, Maduro is a bad guy. We took him out. So is Kim Jong-un, so is Putin, so is -- what's that other guy in Hungary? And we're going to go into all these countries and just kidnap the leaders?!   Behar admits she doesn't actually follow the news and topics she has to talk about because "I have a life." Then falsely claims Maduro was "kidnap[ped]." pic.twitter.com/NOOFE6HOBp — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) January 6, 2026   Fact check: false. America did not “kidnap” Maduro. He was arrested, read his rights, and was extradited to the United States. It was in response to Behar that Hostin started shouting about how Maduro shouldn’t have been removed from power, falsely claiming it was illegal: HOSTIN: That's the issue here. Yes, we can all agree Maduro an illegitimate president who did horrible things in that country and was corrupt. The way he was removed from that country matters! We are supposed to be a nation of laws! BEHAR: Well, that ship has sailed. HOSTIN: The way we did it was against international criminal law! It's against the United Nations! We can’t do it! Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin chimed in to note that there was decades of precedent and many examples of the United States removing dictators from power to protect America’s interests. “It doesn’t make it right!” Hostin shrieked “You don't go into a country and kidnap its leader!”   Sunny Hostin comes out in support of Maduro staying in power: "The way he was removed from that country matters! We are supposed to be a nation of laws! The way we did it was against international criminal law! It's against the United Nations we can't do it! pic.twitter.com/OTitqlp7JX — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) January 6, 2026   Again, fact check: false. See the above notation about kidnapping. Behar jumped in again to bemoan America’s military might. “Its always somebody who is weaker than we are! It's always a country that we can overpower! It's not China. It's not Russia. It's not North Korea,” she huffed. It was laughable and ignorant for Behar to think North Korea was a strong military power. Behar should also understand that even China and Russia would fold to America’s military. Elsewhere in the show, Behar touted that “the U.N. is against what Trump just did in Venezuela” and feared Trump would kick the U.N. out of the country. Luckily, co-host Sara Haines countered her by pointing out the hypocrisy of the U.N.: “So, the U.N. choosing to recognize a nonelected leader is already problematic. They need to be thinking of new rules.”   Joy touts the U.N. condemning Trump arresting Maduro but Sara Haines counters by noting the U.N.'s problematic antics. pic.twitter.com/80vo3oN9B2 — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) January 6, 2026   Of course, they kicked the show off the show by obsessing over January 6 and moderator Whoopi Goldberg used the topic as an opportunity to decry how America could possibly dare to seek justice in other countries while Trump wasn’t in prison: GOLDBERG: When people talk about, you know, they want to see the right thing done in other countries, well, we tried to do something in this country and where is all of – HOSTIN: The justice. GOLDBERG: - that justice for that? We got a country that we could use some help with. But we're over, you know, in -- I don't know. I just -- I get frustrated. Behar bloviated again by accusing the U.S. Supreme Court of having “helped abetted” Trump in his crimes.   Joy Behar falsely accuses the U.S. Supreme Court of being guilty of "abetting" Trump in criminal activity and falsely claims Trump started a war. pic.twitter.com/JIsPLpSCfx — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) January 6, 2026   This is an ABC News program.

GOLDBERG: - that justice for that? We got a country that we could use some help with. But we're over, you know, in -- I don't know. I just -- I get frustrated and I realize -- JOY BEHAR: Because there are a lot of factors right now that didn't exist even during Watergate. The Supreme Court has helped abetted him. HOSTIN: Yes. [Crosstalk] BEHAR: You know, he says he's bringing money down -- prices down. He hasn't done that. GOLDBERG: He was supposed to do that day one! BEHAR: The main thing he promised his voters no foreign wars and here we are. GOLDBERG: And here we are. BEHAR: He’s a liar. GOLDBERG: And you know what, here we are too. But we'll be right back. (…) 11:17:47 a.m. Eastern BEHAR: Is he [Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller] admitting that we're going there for their resources or not? I mean, they have uranium, lithium, Niobium, and zirconium. HOSTIN: All that have is very important for tech. BEHAR: Electric car, cell phones, batteries, and computers use all of that stuff. Why don't you just say what you're there for. And also, can you just go into any country and decide, ‘gee, I think I'm going to take some of their stuff.’ I don't think that's against – that’s pro-U.N. rules. HOSTIN: No, it’s against - BEHAR: By the way, the U.N. is against what Trump just did in Venezuela! HOSTIN: Yes! BEHAR: And my husband said this morning, ‘watch him take the U.N. out of this country.’ Watch! SARA HAINES: One critique is the U.N. is, the U.S. did not even recognize Maduro because he had lost an election. So, the U.N. choosing to recognize a nonelected leader is already problematic. They need to be thinking of new rules. (…) 11:19:26 a.m. Eastern ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: The Venezuelan people wanted to see Maduro gone. So, these opposition leaders have teams and have chiefs of staff. BEHAR: But wait a second. FARAH GRIFFIN: They have diplomats. BEHAR: Here’s what I don't understand. I may not be up on all of this stuff because I have a life. But, okay, Maduro is a bad guy. We took him out. So is Kim Jong-un, so is Putin, so is -- what's that other guy in Hungary?

FARAH GRIFFIN: But guys, we've done this for 30 years. Gadhafi, Saddam. HOSTIN: It doesn’t make it right! FARAH GRIFFIN: I know, but let’s just be consistent with other administrations at under just as tenuous authority we have taken out – We all agree without a good plan in place it goes disastrously. I am not pro-nation building HOSTIN: You don't go into a country and kidnap its leader! BEHAR: Its always somebody who is weaker than we are! It's always a country that we can overpower! It's not China. It's not Russia. It's not North Korea. FARAH GRIFFIN: Again, I would support taking out Vladimir Putin. (…)

Yesterday, a Paris court convicted 10 citizens of “cyberbullying” French first lady Brigitte Macron over rumors regarding her gender.After French President Emmanuel Macron’s election in 2017, rumors started swirling among fringe circles that his wife, Brigitte, was actually a biological male. But it wasn’t until 2021, right before Macron’s re-election, that it exploded on an international scale after Natacha Rey, an independent journalist, claimed she had copious evidence proving the first lady was a biological male secretly living as transgender.Since its initial explosion in 2021, the rumor has only continued to gain massive traction internationally, fueling podcasts, docuseries, and social media content.The Macrons have been quick to strike back. In July 2025, they filed a high-profile defamation lawsuit in the U.S. against conservative podcaster Candace Owens for her viral series “Becoming Brigitte,” which promoted the claim that Brigitte was born a male. The case is ongoing.However, the Macrons’ lawsuit in France concluded yesterday with convictions and sentences for 10 defendants.All 10 were accused of posting or reposting malicious, degrading comments online falsely claiming Brigitte Macron is transgender. While most defended their actions as satire or free speech, the court ruled they acted with intent to harm.When BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere heard the story, his first reaction was that he’s glad he lives in America.“At times, we get upset with America, OK? You know, lines are long. ... Maybe you get the wrong order. Maybe they don't put the extra cheese sauce at Taco Bell that you ordered. ... But we do have a First Amendment at least that would protect us against that sort of nonsense, where the first lady of a country can sue you because you called her names,” he laughs.To hear more about the case, watch the video below.

A Maine city council has voted to launch an investigation into a newly sworn-in member amid criminal charges and allegations that he provided a false home address.On Monday, the Lewiston City Council swore in Iman Osman, 36, and, on the same day, voted to initiate an investigation into him.'Stepping down would be the right thing to do.'Osman, a Somali refugee, was slapped with gun-theft charges in early December after he was accused of receiving, retaining, or disposing of a firearm or explosive device, knowing or believing it had been stolen from an individual's estate. He was also accused of committing theft by obtaining or exercising unauthorized control of a firearm or explosive device that belonged to a second individual's estate. The charges relate to two separate incidents that occurred between November 2023 and October 2024.The Maine Wire reported that Osman also falsely listed a condemned mixed-use building owned by his brother as his residence to secure a mayoral appointment to the Lewiston School Committee and later run for Lewiston City Council's Ward 5. The property has reportedly been condemned since October 2024 because of a chemical "used as a deterrent for humans in the recent drug raid," among other issues, according to WMTW. Critics have argued that Osman does not reside in the ward he was elected to represent and is therefore ineligible to serve. Mayor Carl Sheline previously nominated Osman to the Lewiston School Committee to fill a vacancy. The city council unanimously appointed him on December 17, 2024, and he completed his term in mid-December 2025. RELATED: Tim Walz's nightmare continues as HHS shuts off $185M to Minnesota amid allegedly 'fake' Somali day care centers Image source: Lewiston City Council YouTube screenshotSince Osman's criminal indictments have come to light, Sheline has called on Osman to resign from public office."While he is entitled to the presumption of innocence, the judicial process will be lengthy and this matter has become an unwelcome distraction from the essential business of governing. Stepping down would be the right thing to do," Sheline stated.After winning the city council election in November, Osman was sworn in to the new position during a Monday council meeting, but was immediately met with a vote to open an independent investigation into his residency. Council members voted 6-1 to open the probe, with Osman casting the only dissenting vote. RELATED: Senate bill would give nearly $6 billion to refugee programs despite record-low intake numbers Council President David Chittim. Image source: Lewiston City Council YouTube screenshot Jon Fetherston, a Maine Wire reporter, stated that it is "obvious" Osman is lying about his residency. He expressed concern that the address listed by the council member was linked to a federal drug bust, and he noted that Osman has a court appearance scheduled for Wednesday regarding the gun-theft charges."On the very first night of him being sworn in as a city councilor, Mr. Osman took the oath of office and swore to defend the Constitution, yet he then voted on the matter of whether the council should investigate his own residency instead of recusing himself, casting a 'no' vote," Fetherston told Blaze News. "In my almost 40 years of elected office and/or reporting, I have never seen a bigger blow to democracy and disrespect of the election process than what has occurred with Iman Osman and how 'leadership' in Lewiston has handled this situation."Kiernan Majerus-Collins, Osman's attorney, stated that his client denies guilt concerning the criminal charges against him, WMTW reported."It's disappointing that the city has decided to continue to drag this out, continue to expend time and money, continue to create unnecessary controversy and impede his ability to do the job that he was elected to do," Majerus-Collins said. Councilor President David Chittim explained that the council will determine whether to hold a hearing concerning Osman's position on the council after it receives the investigative report, which he expects will be completed this month. "I would like to put this whole issue behind the city of Lewiston, behind the city council," he said.Like Blaze News?

Newly inaugurated New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has been mocked by many online after a community note thoroughly contradicted his ability to make good on a promise he made.The socialist Muslim mayor was criticizing dynamic pricing policies for putting the cost of World Cup soccer tickets beyond the reach of the common fan when he said his team would work on alleviating the situation. 'We want to ensure that there are more experiences available to each and every New Yorker.'"I had a New Yorker the other day come up to me and ask me if there was any way I could help him get World Cup tickets because he was saying that the cost that he saw for a game was $600," Mamdani said."This is increasingly out of reach," he added. "We have made what used to be a working-class game into a luxury experience, and there are too many for whom it doesn't matter where the World Cup is being played in the world; they know where they're going to watch it: It's TV."He concluded, "We want to ensure that there are more experiences available to each and every New Yorker."Mamdani's promise was immediately mocked and ridiculed on social media, especially after it was undermined by a community note on the X social media platform."Apart from the fact that the mayor has no influence over FIFA pricing policy, there are no games in NY City. The New York New Jersey Stadium is in East Rutherford, New Jersey," the note reads.Others pointed out the inconvenient fact."Settle down commie. It's being hosted in NJ. I know NJ is right behind NY, but you haven't taken it over yet," one popular response reads."LMAO ... this scumbag thinks he is the king of the world. NY Mayor Mamdani says he is working to ensure World Cup tickets are AVAILABLE TO ALL ... BTW, no World Cup games are played in NY ...," another detractor said. "Seize the means of ticket verification," joked one user.A Blaze News request for comment to Mamdani's office was not immediately answered.RELATED: Liberal actor compares Mamdani to Jesus and MLK Jr. in bizarre CNN panel moment Video of Mamdani's comments was widely circulated on social media.Although the media has been trying to whitewash Mamdani's extremist positions as moderate, his administration has already been roiled by resurfaced messages from his director of appointments, who abruptly quit the position, as well as from his pick to lead the Mayor's Office to Protect Tenants.Like Blaze News?
