On the ABC “News” program The View today, host Whoopi Goldberg complained about people who have been let go from the U.S. Military on Trump’s watch, then urged military members and their families to vote against Trump.
This open cheerleading for one party in the midterms is a clear violation of FCC rules, but that’s just the way things are on this show. They do it all the time and seem to pay no price for it.
It is also hilarious to hear Whoopi Goldberg and her cohosts acting as if they are big supporters of members of our military when it’s so clearly just about politics.
GOLDBERG: The qualified people. And this, I hope, fires people up because listen, no matter where you sit, you want qualified people doing the job. You want — I don’t care who you are. You know?
And I really believe that people are fed up with people who haven’t worked as hard as they have, who haven’t gotten to where they’ve gotten, only to be dusted off and thrown away. People are not happy. And I believe —
NAVARRO: And to your point, it’s the damnedest thing he’s gotten rid of all the unqualified women. I mean, I’m not shedding tears for Kristi Noem or Pam Bondi or Katie Zacharia or any of them. But all the unqualified MEN are still there, one is running a war and the other is running the Health Department.
GOLDBERG: Yes, they are. Yes, they are.
HAINES: One is running the country.
NAVARRO: And one is running the country too.
GOLDBERG: That’s right. And if you’re – If you’re a family of a soldier, if you have military in your family, you know what needs to be done. Because you can’t go around disrespecting the military. They do all the stuff we don’t do. We can’t continue to allow people to treat them the way they have been treated. There’s just so, so many things that we have to shift. And it’s — you know? And this isn’t right nor left. This is nobody wants this for their military. Nobody. Nobody wants this. It’s enough, I think. It’s enough. So, make sure you get out there and vote.
Here’s the video:
“You know what you have to do.” Whoopi calls on members the military and their families to rise up against Trump:

Mysterious object traveling through North St. Louis was identified as the Navy’s latest unmanned aerial drone.
The massive mysterious object that was seen in north St. Louis County on Sunday night has been identified.
Boeing Company in St. Louis told local FOX2 television that the object is the Navy’s first carrier-based unmanned aircraft.
Boeing was moving the MQ-25 model from Boeing to MidAmerica Airport in Mascoutah, Illinois.
FOX 2 spotted the mysterious object causing traffic around 9 p.m. Sunday near North Lindbergh Boulevard and New Halls Ferry Road in Florissant. Boeing later confirmed the object was the MQ-25, the U.S. Navy’s first operational and carrier-based unmanned aircraft, which was moving from its facility in Berkeley, Missouri, to its new MQ-25 production facility near MidAmerica Airport in Mascoutah, Illinois.
Boeing St. Louis is the headquarters of Boeing Defense, Space and Security (BDS), home to over 18,000 employees, and is the site of major defense aircraft production and a new $1.8 billion advanced combat aircraft facility.
** Defense aircraft and munitions production and modernization
** Advanced fabrication capabilities
** Services and sustainment support
** Engineering, Supply Chain, Quality and other capability centers
** Phantom Works advanced prototyping and Virtual Warfare Centers
Employees in the St. Louis area also support Boeing Global Services, Boeing Commercial Airplanes and enterprise functions.
Interesting fact: The MQ‑25A Stingray is the U.S. Navy’s first operational carrier‑based unmanned aircraft, designed primarily for autonomous aerial refueling to extend the range, endurance, and flexibility of the carrier air wing.
The unmanned aircraft that was seen in St. Louis on Sunday looks different from the MQ-25 Stingray online. It’s likely because of the folded wings.
A viral video from the chaotic streets of Milan captures a liberal Italian woman furiously lecturing police officers for using force against third-world migrant rioters. “What are you doing?! Why are you grabbing them by force like that?” she said. She demands they treat the thugs “like civilians” and simply “ask them for ID.”
Seconds later, one of the very rioters she was defending throws an explosive.
The clip, posted by Matt Van Swol, shows the woman in the midst of the weekend’s violent unrest, arguing with officers in riot gear as the crowd surges around them. The explosive lands nearby, forcing a scramble. It is a perfect, real-time demonstration of the left’s suicidal empathy colliding with reality.

#BREAKING: A liberal Italian woman SCREAMS at police telling them they are being too mean to the 3rd world migrants.
“What are you doing?! Why are you GRABBING them by force like that?”
Seconds later, a rioter THROWS AN EXPLOSIVE at her and police.
This incident occurred amid the ongoing wave of so-called “student” and cost-of-living protests that have exploded into riots across northern Italy. As The Gateway Pundit reported, a march of roughly 5,000 mostly young people in Milan on October 17 turned into full-scale disorder around Piazza del Duomo.
Rioters threw stones, café tables, chairs, paving blocks, and firecrackers at police, set fires, attacked and looted shops (including sports retailers), and damaged vehicles. Police responded with tear gas and water cannons.
Italian media and local reports described many of the most aggressive participants as “maranza,” street youths often of migrant background from the city’s outskirts, along with second-generation groups and organized far-left antagonists who hijacked the marches.
On Sunday alone in Milan, police detained 271 young people and arrested 32, including 23 minors and 13 foreign nationals. Broader weekend totals exceeded 200 detentions in the city, with high percentages of minors. Similar violence hit Turin, Bologna, and other cities, leaving officers injured.
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has condemned the rioters as “gangs of thugs” who exploit demonstrations “to seek confrontation and sow chaos,” expressing full solidarity with police who protect citizens, workers, and merchants from having their cities “laid to waste.”
Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini called them cowards and criminals. Meloni has convened emergency security meetings in response.
What began as school occupations organized by communist and far-left collectives such as OSA (Opposizione Studentesca d’Alternativa) under the slogan of copying French protests quickly escalated.
Leftist groups, pro-Palestinian activists, social centers, and migrant youths used the pretext of education and living costs to attack police, loot luxury and retail stores, and even target symbols near Milan’s Duomo Cathedral. This fits a broader pattern of failed integration and mass migration documented for years in Italy.
Milan’s police chief has previously stated that foreign nationals are linked to roughly 80% of predatory crimes in the city. National data show foreigners (about 9% of the population) accounting for disproportionately high shares of robberies, sexual assaults, and other violent offenses, with non-EU minors heavily overrepresented in youth crime.
Meloni’s government has worked to reduce illegal sea arrivals and strengthen borders, yet EU courts, leftist judges, and open-borders policies continue to constrain enforcement.
The Italian woman’s rapid shift from police critic to seeking police cover is not an isolated absurdity. It is the logical endpoint of years of elite-driven migration that prioritizes ideology over the safety of Italian citizens, women, and cities.
Italians watching their streets burn by the hands of those their own leftist compatriots defend are increasingly demanding the remigration and order that Meloni has promised.
President Trump speaks to reporters at the White House
President Trump on Monday lit up French President Emmanuel Macron for the ongoing rioting and looting across France, calling on the French President to close the borders, saying that he should have done so “a long time ago.”
Mobs of Marxists and foreigners have destroyed homes and businesses, attacked police officers and first responders, and even used makeshift flamethrowers to attack innocent bystanders.
Reports cite the cost of living, underfunded public schools, and declining public services for the riots, but Trump blames the failed leftwing policies of French President Emmanuel Macron for “letting everybody from the world come in.”
Trump was asked about reports that Macron blamed the violent riots on the war with Iran and rising gas prices, and he initially dismissed the reporter as “fake news” before finding out she was with the Daily Wire.
“I don’t think he is. No, I think that’s fake news,” Trump said. “Oh, Daily Wire’s good. Sorry, Daily Wire is good,” Trump added, laughing after Daily Wire’s Mary Margaret Olohan identified herself.
“Emmanuel, look, he’s a friend of mine. I told him a long time ago, you’re making a big mistake in France. You’re letting everybody from the world come in. The whole world was coming in, and you know, as you know, Paris is going to be a Muslim city very soon,” he continued.
“I told Emmanuel you should close up your borders, and let’s see, I’ve known him for probably eight or nine years. I told him, as soon as I met him, I said, ‘you’re making a big mistake.’ We closed our borders. He didn’t, and you know what? His borders are a problem, and he also has a little bit of a problem with energy.”
“But Emanuel should have closed his borders a long time ago. I told him to do it,” Trump added.
WATCH:
Trump went on to tell another reporter, “What’s happening in France has to do with immigration, not schools, not anything. It’s immigration, and I told President Macron, ‘close up your borders!’”
“I told him the first time I met him, which was years ago in my first term, ‘close up your borders. You’re gonna have nothing but trouble,’ and they’ve got a lot of trouble,” he added, noting that aliens have no respect for the native cultures of Western civilization.
“They let people into their country that don’t love their country, they don’t love their buildings, they don’t love their art. And I said the first time I met Macron, I said ‘you got to close up your your borders. You’re going to ruin your country,’ and they’ve ruined their country. It’s going to be hard to get it back, but hopefully France will come back.”
WATCH:
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump also responded to the riots over the weekend, calling on France to close its borders.
“France is burning! The immigration of people from an entirely different world, people with hatred in their hearts, has shattered that once great country,” he said. “Close your Borders and take control, before it is too late!”
Ted Nugent speaks at Trump rally in Wichita, Kansas – October 19, 2026
Rock and roll legend and longtime Trump supporter Ted Nugent delivered a pre-show address to the Trump rally in Wichita, Kansas, on Monday, and he opened for President Trump with fire.
Nugent took the stage to an electrified crowd, chanting “USA” as his hit song, Stranglehold, filled the arena.
After taking the stage and screaming, “Kansas! I love real Kansas,” Nugent began, “Look at you. Take a good look around you: Real America! I love real America.”
“You know how much I love real America? I was in a tree stand in the swamps of Michigan this morning, and I got a call from President Trump, and he said, ‘Would you come to Kansas and raise some hell with me?’” he continued.
“So I got out of my tree stand — I don’t get out of my tree stand for nothing except freedom! I rock and rolled in Kansas. You people are real music lovers. I love you people.”
WATCH:
Nugent went on to tell the crowd, “I’m a radical. I’m extremist.”
He explained why, saying, “I believe my life pivots upon God, family, country, Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the 10 Commandments, the Golden Rule, work ethic, law and order, self-defense, private property rights!”
“I know you people. You people deserve me. But you know what else I do in Kansas? I love the rock and roll. Who doesn’t love the rock and roll?” he added.
Deranged comedienne Rosie O’Donnell has suggested that Elon Musk could use his Starlink satellites to manipulate the upcoming midterm elections.
In a video posted to TikTok, O’Donnell expressed hope that a sufficiently large turnout would prevent Republicans from interfering with the election results.
“When this is over — hopefully on November 4th when people show up en masse and they cannot rig the election or use Elon Musk’s satellites to alter the election because the turnout will be so large — hopefully then we will be able to see a tremendous decline in the MAGA cult,” she declared.
Watch the clip below:

O’Donnell offered no evidence for her unusual claims.
Similar allegations spread among anti-Trump activists following the 2024 presidential election, with some suggesting that Musk’s Starlink satellite network had been used to manipulate voting machines.
She continued by suggesting that Trump supporters would need to be reintegrated into society.
“We will have to be welcoming to them back into the reality of the United States of America and what we stand for, because, boy, it’s not MAGA and what they’re about,” she said.
“It’s definitely not Mango Mussolini, who seems to be getting worse every day with his dementia,” she claimed.
“The man is a myriad of problems, in every way, psychologically, physically, and morally.”
O’Donnell also expressed hope that House Speaker Mike Johnson would “go away and go back to being a farmer” back in Louisiana.
The latest video follows similar remarks in June, when O’Donnell speculated that Trump could exploit an assassination attempt or terrorist attack to cancel the midterm elections.
Her comments also come as Musk continues to support Republican candidates ahead of November’s elections.
Musk has spent approximately $276 million supporting Republican candidates and political organizations during the 2026 election cycle, making him one of the largest political donors in American history.
Elon Musk is putting more than $276 million behind Republicans ahead of the midterms, and he’s doing it without the high-profile campaign appearances that defined his support for President Trump in 2024.
Federal prosecutors are planning to use DNA evidence to try to prove Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) committed immigration fraud, as part of the sprawling investigation into the congresswoman, sources told The Post.
People familiar with the years-long criminal probe said the feds have made use of whistleblowers, government records and now obtained DNA in an effort to substantiate decade-old allegations that Omar — and possibly members of her family like her father — defrauded immigration authorities.
One source said the DNA evidence was critical to proving an allegation that Omar married her brother when she wed Ahmed Nur Said Elmi in 2009 because she was trying to help him get a green card — which never came to fruition.
It’s unclear whether the DNA was taken before or after Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) searched the congresswoman’s home in Washington, DC, last Monday, when federal agents were seen exiting the bungalow with boxes marked “Seized Property Evidence.”
According to Fox News, federal investigators are in possession of Ilhan Omar’s DNA and personal passport.
Ilhan Omar’s official passport from her office has not been retrieved, but authorities are not concerned with Omar fleeing the country.
BREAKING: The feds are in possession of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) DNA and personal passport as part of the federal investigation into her US citizenship, colleague @davidspunt reports. It’s unclear how her DNA was obtained, but sources tell David it was NOT from a trash can or dumpster. @FoxNews is told that reports of agents dumpster diving are incorrect. Additionally, David is told the feds have her personal passport as evidence. Her official passport (via her office) has not been retrieved, and authorities aren’t concerned that she fled the country. They believe she in the U.S., and feel that if she were to flee the country, it would create problems for her down the line as her husband and family members are in the US.
DHS and DOJ continue to decline comment to FOX on the investigation.
The federal investigation into Ilhan Omar could widen to a conspiracy case.
CNN reported that the investigation into Ilhan Omar may widen to a conspiracy case as several members of Omar’s family have been subpoenaed.
Last week, the Associated Press and NBC News reported that, according to sources, federal investigators were also probing Ilhan Omar’s financial records.
President Trump speaks at a midterm rally in Wichita, Kansas – October 19, 2026
President Trump will hold a midterm rally in Wichita, Kansas, this evening for incumbent Senator Roger Marshall as he continues his October blitz ahead of the midterms.
Trump told reporters earlier he’s returning to Kansas for Marshall because “I won the state by many, many points,” and “I love the people of Kansas.”
“Roger Marshall is one of the finest people in government, as far as I’m concerned,” he said.
“We want to make sure he wins. He’s a great senator. I just want to make sure. Every place I’ve gone to, they’re doing well,” Trump later said, highlighting the success of his rallies.

A Clearwater, Kansas, man was arrested last week for threatening to shoot President Trump at tonight’s Wichita rally.
President Trump is holding a midterm rally in Wichita, Kansas, on Monday evening for incumbent Senator Roger Marshall.
Trump told reporters earlier he’s returning to Kansas for Marshall because “I won the state by many, many points,” and “I love the people of Kansas.”
“Roger Marshall is one of the finest people in government, as far as I’m concerned,” he said.
“We want to make sure he wins. He’s a great senator. I just want to make sure. Every place I’ve gone to, they’re doing well,” Trump later said, highlighting the success of his rallies.
Last week, a Kansas man, identified as Jaden Read, 24, was arrested for threatening to shoot President Trump at his Wichita rally: “I just got a 308 and 305 round and I’m killing this pedo”.
Per the DOJ: On October 15th, a Crime Stoppers tip led authorities to a Facebook post where Jaden Read made comments in response to a KAKE News article detailing President Trump’s upcoming visit to Wichita, KS on October 19th, 2026. Jaden J. Read’s threatening comments raised concern among the authorities.
“Read posted on Facebook: “Let’s shoot Trump honestly, where’s our shooter? I’m tired of living this money life” and immediately after his first comment, Read posted a second comment on the same KAKE News Article stating: “I just got a 308 and 305 round and I’m killing this pedo”.
“Authorities found Read made two more threating comments in response to a different article by KWCH 12 News discussing President Trump’s upcoming visit. In this threat, Read commented: “Can we shoot him in Kansas please I will myself.” And a minute later Read posted “IK where your speech will be. Already mapped out roofs around. Finna get kirked since yall couldn’t help him”” the DOJ said.
“On October 17th, the U.S. Attorney’s Office – District of Kansas filed a Criminal Complaint against Jaden J. Read, 24, of Clearwater, KS for making Threats Against the President,” the DOJ said.
“Political violence and threats of political violence will not be tolerated.” Said U.S. Attorney Ryan A. Kriegshauser.
“The first Amendment allows for robust disagreement but there are constraints. I caution people to stay within the bounds of constitutionally protected speech,” he said.
In Portugal, police clashed with protesters while clearing a housing camp in Porto, leaving 37 protesters injured and one officer hurt. Spain, Greece, Germany, and Austria have seen marches, encampments, and school blockades. In nearly every country, communist parties, socialist youth wings, Trotskyist groups, and left-wing labor confederations have been documented organizing, joining, or promoting the demonstrations.
The movement began on September 17 at Lycée Saint-Exupéry in Créteil and spread nationwide within two weeks. On October 17, it merged with protests over fuel prices and the cost of living, drawing between 550,000 and 800,000 people. Rioters destroyed the historic Limoges town hall and looted shops in at least nine cities. The Interior Ministry reported nearly 2,400 arrests that day, and Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has called for localized curfews.
The French government has attributed the movement to La France Insoumise (France Unbowed, or LFI), describing it as a maneuver organized by LFI and its ultra-left proxies. The president of the Union syndicale lycéenne, the high school union that called the first national day of action, ran on an LFI-led list in local elections. The French Communist Party issued an October 14 statement calling for demonstrations on October 17 and a day of strikes on November 5.
Smaller revolutionary organizations, including the Union de la Jeunesse Communiste and the Nouveau Parti anticapitaliste, called for expanding the movement through strikes. The country’s major union confederations, led by the CGT, joined the marches. A Fox News Digital investigation identified 54 organizations in the wider French protest network.
In Belgium, the protests began in Liège on October 1 and spread to Brussels, Mons, and Charleroi. Footage from Liège showed demonstrators carrying material from RedFox, the high school youth wing of the Marxist Workers’ Party of Belgium (PTB). The party’s university wing, Comac, operates on campuses in Brussels and Liège.
Belgian public broadcaster RTBF reported that masked outsiders were inciting destruction at the Liège protests. On October 9, a Brussels march organized by the socialist FGTB union drew 30,000 people, according to police, with about 1,000 rioters operating on its margins. Defense Minister Theo Francken accused the PTB of links to the violence, an allegation that party general secretary Peter Mertens publicly rejected.
In Germany, the protests have so far consisted of school blockades and small rallies. An October 8 rally at the French Embassy in Berlin was organized by Die Linke’s (The Left) Neukölln and Mitte chapters and the Berlin branch of LFI. It had support from Linksjugend Solid (Left Youth Solid), Klasse Gegen Klasse (Class Against Class), and several Trotskyist groups. The Berlin police union warned that Linksjugend Solid could hijack the protests.
In Italy, the communist high school group OSA (Opposizione Studentesca d’Alternativa, or Alternative Student Opposition) launched school occupations in Turin on October 5 under the slogan “Let’s do as in France.” With its university counterpart, Cambiare Rotta (Change Course), it organized a national student strike in 40 cities on October 16. Cost-of-living marches turned violent in Milan, Turin, and Bologna on October 17 and 18.
In Bologna, Carrelli Vuoti (Empty Shopping Carts) called the march alongside local collectives Cua, Crash, and Plat. Cua stands for Collettivo Universitario Autonomo (Autonomous University Collective). In Italy, autonomous collectives are far-left groups independent of parties and unions, governed by open assemblies, and committed to direct action, including occupations and unauthorized marches. Cua and Plat activists led an unauthorized march of about 500 people. The clashes left 75 officers injured, and five people were arrested, four of them minors.
In Turin, ANSA reported that antagonist collectives, social centers, and pro-Palestinian activists took control of the march. Antagonist collectives are militant far-left groups opposed to the state and established parties; social centers, often housed in occupied buildings, serve as their political and cultural hubs. In Milan, police detained 271 young people on Sunday alone and arrested 32, including 23 minors.
Albania’s revolt targets Edi Rama’s Socialist government. Student protesters attacked the Prime Minister’s Office, the Constitutional Court, and the Bank of Albania with stones and Molotov cocktails. Arlind Qori, leader of the left-wing Lëvizja Bashkë, called on Albanians to rise alongside the students and vowed to bring down Rama. The conservative Democratic Party also backs the protesters, making Albania the one country where the right and left share the streets.
On the Iberian Peninsula, established communist parties are participating openly in the unrest. In Portugal, the Portuguese Communist Party (PCP) announced that its general secretary, Paulo Raimundo, would join a party delegation at an October 17 demonstration in Lisbon organized by the General Confederation of Portuguese Workers (CGTP), a union confederation closely associated with the communist movement.
In Spain, Izquierda Unida (United Left), a left-wing coalition that includes the Communist Party of Spain, announced its participation in housing marches that drew 70,000 people in Madrid. Two major union confederations, Workers’ Commissions (CCOO), with communist roots, and the General Union of Workers (UGT), with socialist roots, have agreed to a general strike. Socialist youth groups clashed with police at Madrid’s Complutense University on October 14.
In Lisbon, housing assemblies, local groups campaigning for affordable housing and tenants’ rights, have called for an “Iberian general strike” across Portugal and Spain on November 11.
In Greece, students set up tents in Athens’ Syntagma Square. The Communist Party of Greece announced that a delegation from its youth wing, KNE, led by Central Council secretary Thodoris Kotsandis, marched in Paris on October 17. This is the clearest documented case of a communist organization from one country physically joining protests in another. In Austria, the national student union ÖH, whose vice chair belongs to the Socialist Students association, held a protest in Vienna on October 13 against university budget cuts.
The next coordinated action is scheduled for November 20, when a coalition of student and youth organizations across Europe has called an International Youth Strike under the slogan “Fight for Our Future, Not Their Wars.” Organizers are calling for walkouts, blockades, and occupations. Announced in August, before the French riots, the strike reflects organizing networks that predate the violence.
The documented record establishes broad participation by communist, socialist, and revolutionary-left organizations across at least nine countries, along with direct cross-border contact among them. The worst violence, in Milan, Brussels, and several French cities, has largely been carried out by loosely organized youths whom police have not tied to any single organization.
This article is the first in a series examining these groups country by country. Upcoming installments in The Gateway Pundit will cover France’s school revolt and the parties and unions behind it; the Marxist youth wings active in Belgium and Germany; Italy’s communist student groups and collectives; Albania’s Flamingo Revolution; and the communist parties of Portugal, Spain, and Greece, along with the November 20 youth strike.
