Whoopi Goldberg, co-host of The View, railed against “thoughts and prayers” in the wake of the shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, threatening to “punch somebody” if she heard any more Republicans say they were heartbroken over the violence.

“What are we doing?” Goldberg asked after playing clips of President Joe Biden and Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) reacting to the shooting. “Why are we always at square one with this?”

Goldberg continued: “And I swear to God, if I see another Republican senator talk about their heart being broken, I’ma go punch somebody!”

“I can’t take thoughts and prayers. If your thoughts and prayers were really with everybody, you’d have done something by now.”

Co-host Ana Navarro echoed Goldberg’s sentiments later in the episode.

“I hope they roll up their little thoughts and prayers into a suppository and find what to do with it,” Navarro said.

The Pentagon shared a newly declassified video of a UFO encounter during a hearing with the House Intelligence subcommittee.

The brief video lasts about eight seconds and shows a flying spherical object traveling at high speeds in the sky.

As The Hill noted, the roughly eight-second video clip with a 2021 timestamp shows a pilot operating an aircraft in a U.S. Navy training yard when a strange object flies near the plane’s cockpit at high speed.

“While the UFO is traveling so fast in the video that it can be hard to spot, the object appears to be a grey, spherical shape,” the outlet reported.

Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence Scott Bray told the subcommittee that the video was an example of an encounter that has baffled the Pentagon.

“I do not have an explanation for what this specific object is,” Bray said.

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
1974: India becomes the sixth nation to explode an atomic bomb.

President Joe Biden said that white supremacy is a “poison” and called on Americans to reject racism and hatred.

“We need to say as clearly and forcefully as we can that the ideology of white supremacy has no place in America,” Biden said. “None.”

The president and first lady Jill Biden met with victims’ family members in Buffalo, New York after Saturday’s racially motivated mass shooting claimed the lives of 10 people. Biden then gave public remarks, where he denounced the white “replacement theory” believed to have inspired the shooter.

“I call on all Americans to reject the lie, and I condemn those who spread the lie for power, for political gain, and for profit,” Biden said. “White supremacy is a poison. It’s a poison running through … our body politic, and it’s been allowed to fester and grow right in front of our eyes.”

“We have to refuse to live in a country where black people going about a weekly grocery shopping can be gunned down by weapons of war deployed in a racist cause,” Biden said. “We have to refuse to live in a country where fear and lies are packaged for power and for profit. We must all enlist in this great cause of America.”

Biden: White supremacy a ‘poison’ in America

Anthony Fauci was recently asked if he’d stay as White House chief medical adviser if former President Donald Trump wins the presidential election in 2024.

CNN’s Jim Acosta asked Fauci: “If Trump were to return to the White House as president, and COVID is still a threat, or there is some other public health emergency, would you have confidence in his ability — would you have confidence in his ability to deal with a pandemic of this nature? Would you want to stay on in your post?”

“Well, no to the second question,” Fauci said with a laugh. “The first question, if you look at the history of what the [COVID-19] response was during the [Trump] administration, I think at best you could say it wasn’t optimal.”

“And I think just history will speak for itself about that,” Fauci added.

Jen Psaki’s time as White House press secretary has come to a close.

Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy told Psaki he was “sorry to see” her depart.

“Are you?” she asked as the room erupted in laughter.

“Yes,” Doocy said. “And you’ve always been a good sport. So, on behalf of everybody, thank you for everything.”

One of the pair’s more memorable exchanges came when Psaki was visibly frustrated after Doocy asked her if President Joe Biden was aware of the criticism surrounding his botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.

“Does the president have a sense that most of the criticism is not of leaving Afghanistan? It’s the way that he has ordered it to happen by pulling the troops before getting these Americans who are now stranded. Does he have a sense of that?” Doocy asked. 

Psaki told Doocy it was “irresponsible” to assert that Americans were “stranded,” saying that the administration was “committed to bring Americans who want to come home, home.” 

“I’m just calling you out for saying we are stranding Americans in Afghanistan when we have been very clear that we are not leaving Americans who want to return home,” Psaki said.

A passenger with no flying experience became a hero when they safely landed a small plane after the pilot was unresponsive.

According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the unnamed passenger took control of the single-engine Cessna 208 after reporting that the pilot had become “incoherent” following a medical emergency.

“I’ve got a serious situation here,” the passenger told an air traffic controller at Fort Pierce tower. “My pilot has gone incoherent. I have no idea how to fly the airplane.”

The air traffic controller successfully talked the passenger through the miracle landing, which took place at the Palm Beach International Airport in Florida about an hour and a half after departing from Marsh Harbour, Bahamas.

“Kudos to that new pilot,” the air traffic controller said after the plane landed safely.

The FAA is investigating the situation.
