With former co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck filling in for co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin as she’s out on maternity leave, ABC’s The View finally had something they’d been missing since Meghan McCain left: an actual conservative that was willing and able to call the cast out on their hypocrisies. And on Wednesday’s episode, Hasselbeck had them in a tizzy when she called out their hypocrisy on border security when the studio has security and their aversion to masks on ICE when they wanted everyone masked during COVID. Early in the episode, the show was looking to take swipes and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem following her congressional hearing the previous day. Hasselbeck drew outrage from the permanent cast when she called out their hypocrisy for supporting loose borders and immigration practices, despite the fact the studio they were broadcasting from had security and the audience was verified: We need a strong border especially now with our current global situation. And I believe that you may say you don't want border control and you're against ICE, but I actually don't believe you in your daily lives. How many people in the audience here had to go through security, and to get right here. Raise your hand, just be honest. [Cuts to shot of the audience. Some raise their hand, most don’t] Otherwise, you go to jail, I guess for illegal trespassing. Right? This is an authorized audience. They had to go through security to get through the border to get right here to just hear us talk. We need strong borders more than ever right now. We are being infiltrated -   Elisabeth Hasselbeck calls out The View's hypocrisy on wanting open borders by pointing out their audience had to do through security and would be trespassing otherwise. pic.twitter.com/0HIPX0rc77 — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) March 4, 2026   “But we’re not on the border when Renee Good and Alex Pretti were murdered and death is not a mistake!” co-host Sunny Hostin started shrieking; possibly opening up ABC and Disney to liability by accusing two ICE agents of a crime they were not adjudicated as committing. To counter Hostin’s shouting, Hasselbeck noted that “I hate the fact that people are dying in this” and her “heart actually bleeds for this.” She also said her heart “also bleeds for Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, Rachel Moran, Matthew Dennis, Sarah Ruett, Ivory Smith, all killed at the hands of illegal immigration.” Names often ignored and over looked by The View. The next hypocrisy Hasselbeck called out took aim at how they were demanding ICE agents not wear masks (to keep leftist extremists from Doxxing them and threating their families), when The View and the Democrats wanted everyone masked during COVID: GOLDBERG: If somebody come at me with a mask on running and to talk about ‘hey, and didn't show me cop.’ Um-hm. HASSELBECK: This is the party of masks. You guys forced masks on everybody in the United States -- GOLDBERG: I didn't do anything. HASSELBECK: I don't want to hear that you can't see my face. “I think a public health crisis is a little bit different,” chided Hostin, who also ridiculously claimed illegals paid more taxes than Americans. “That was a lie,” Hasselbeck shot back.   Whoopi whines about masked ICE agents and Hasselbeck calls out how the show and the Dems wanted everyone masked during COVID (the cast and the audience did not like that truth bomb): GOLDBERG: If somebody come at me with a mask on running and to talk about hey, and didn't show… pic.twitter.com/g6jKWyCd3N — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) March 4, 2026   Hasselbeck also annoyed moderator Whoopi Goldberg by calling out how Presidents Obama and Biden had failed to fix illegal immigration. Goldberg flat out refused to discuss their role in perpetuating decades of problems: HASSELBECK: Yes, the how matters. Yes, and it was done without a how during the Biden administration and Obama. GOLDBERG: Here's the thing. Let's take Obama and Biden out of here because this is -- [makes dramatic movements to mime pushing them out of the way] [Applause] - let's move them. Goldberg also didn’t want to hear the facts of how Biden’s border policies failed, shouting over Hasselbeck: GOLDBERG: Because, you know, Joe Biden, I remember during the - the speech to the nation said I -- we have a good border plan that is bipartisan. HASSELBECK: It failed. GOLDBERG: No! It didn't fail! The Republicans were told by you-know-who, don't do this, block this.   After the commercial break, Whoopi suddenly wants secure borders: "Welcome back. So, I was just -- I was going to say that one of the things that I think everybody in the nation wants is they want tight borders. They want people who are not good for the country out of the… pic.twitter.com/JvkfB0JwzJ — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) March 4, 2026   Yes, Whoopi That’s how it failed to get passed. While Hasselbeck would only be back with The View for a short time, she was leaving many yarning for a permanent, real conservative woman to put the liberal ladies in their place.

But I think if Kristi Noem were up for promotion right now and she put forward the statistics that zero illegals released into the U.S. for 10 months straight have not crossed. Okay? That nearly 3 million aliens have left the United States. That we have the lowest murder rate in 125 years. That fentanyl trafficking is down 56 percent -- JOY BEHAR: Wait a second. HASSELBECK: - at the border. And daily counters have gone down 96 percent. Hang on one second. We need a strong border especially now with our current global situation. And I believe that you may say you don't want border control and you're against ICE, but I actually don't believe you in your daily lives. How many people in the audience here had to go through security, and to get right here. Raise your hand, just be honest. [Cuts to shot of the audience.

We are being infiltrated - [Crosstalk] Behar: But Elisabeth, can I give you a stat- SUNNY HOSTIN: But we’re not on the border when Renee Good and Alex Pretti were murdered and death is not a mistake! (…) 11:09:06 a.m. Eastern HASSELBECK: I hate the fact that people are dying in this. My heart actually bleeds for this. It also bleeds for Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, Rachel Moran, Matthew Dennis, Sarah Ruett, Ivory Smith, all killed at the hands of illegal immigration. This needs a fix. But it needs a fix now. But let me tell you - HAINES: The how matters. HASSELBECK: Yes, the how matters. Yes, and it was done without a how during the Biden administration and Obama. BEHAR: But she's made it worse. She's made it worse you have to admit that. GOLDBERG: Here's the thing. Let's take Obama and Biden out of here because this is -- [Applause] - let's move them.

(…) 11:16:18 a.m. Eastern GOLDBERG: I guess my point is -- I guess my point is there have been efforts made by both sides to figure out how to do this. This is not the way to -- to round people up the way that they do. And you're right. If somebody come at me with a mask on running and to talk about ‘hey, and didn't show me cop.’ Um-hm. HASSELBECK: This is the party of masks. You guys forced masks on everybody in the United States -- GOLDBERG: I didn't do anything. HASSELBECK: I don't want to hear that you can't see my face. I just can't. I can't. I love you, but I can't. I love you, but I can't. GOLDBERG: I now that you can't. HOSTIN: I think a public health crisis is a little bit different. HASSELBECK: That was a lie. GOLDBERG: I was going to say that's a whole different thing. (…)
