“This is meant to get us so worked up that we are unable to see anything else.”

Whoopi Goldberg and the team at ABC’s “The View” implied during Tuesday’s broadcast that President Donald Trump may have kickstarted a war with Iran to sidetrack the American people away from the Epstein files and the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping case.
According to a story by The Daily Wire, Goldberg spoke about the chance, saying it was “nutty as hell” that a foremost war — involving a known bad actor and American interests and allies in the Middle East — was capturing all media attention and contending that it was an intentional play to deflect the public’s concentration.
“I mean, it’s just nutty as hell. It’s nutty as hell and you’re right, every day is something new,” Goldberg began. “And it’s — you know, I was thinking about it yesterday, because I thought, well, okay, why haven’t we been talking about Savannah Guthrie and what’s going on there?”
“And her mother,” Sunny Hostin interjected.
“Why haven’t we not been — why have we not been talking about the Epstein files? Because that’s still there,” Goldberg continued. “This is meant to get us so worked up that we are unable to see anything else.”
The audience reacted by applauding, some expressing their conformity.

“It’s a very wag-the-dog feeling. Very wag-the-dog feeling,” Hostin said, employing the slang term for use of a military action that is intended to divert public attention from a politically damaging issue.
Sara Haines, one of the cohosts, commented that anyone who engaged in war should consider the human cost. Goldberg rapidly said that the Trump administration failed to do that.
“They don’t have that feeling, because to them, we’re cannon fodder,” she claimed. “They don’t care, you know? It’s how — It’s why they — it’s how they also treat our vets. It tells you a lot. You’ve heard him talk about vets.”
Nevertheless, President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and War Secretary Pete Hegseth attended the Dignified Transfer to take delivery of the remains of the first six American service members who were killed during Operation Epic Fury. Vice President Vance, a Marine Corps veteran himself, attended the Dignified Transfer for the seventh. Trump referred to the ceremony as “the toughest thing I have to do as President.”
