Thanks for saying it Michael. I am sick and tired of continual campaigning. As soon as one election is over, another starts.
Agreed, I like France & Great Britain’s model, isn’t it a 6-week election period? Elections here feel non stop!
Yes! It’s Effing exhausting! Shut up politics
Why? Because you have to take a little time out of your life to vote. Hmmm......🤔 I wonder what the children, grand children & families of all the everyday citzen that was TORTURED, SLAIN IN VARIOUS WAYS, ASWELL AS ALL THE LEADERS OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT THAT WERE ASSASSINATED FEEL ABOUT THAT ???????
SMH😡🤬
@@mindykloster3540 Bernie Sanders was twice stuffed for the democratic nomination in 2016 Clinton drew from the party victory funds that were meant to go to the top democrat to defeat Trump and Hilary and the party elites used it to defeat Bernie. And again in 2020 Bernie was one of the most popular candidates and he got stuffed once again by his own party establishment.
Conversely Kamala who was one of the worst performing especially with young people young people chose Bernie over her is now number 2 the regime and on the cusp of the white house.
Look what you guys did to Bernie and you still claim to be fighting for democracy? lolz
In Australia quick also. And a media blackout just before voting. We vote on a Saturday and get a Democracy sausage. Because we are a small population we have compulsory voting, I like that. Makes me take notice.
His comment about the length of these campaigns was so on point as well as the inequality of the economy
OMG totally agree I been thinking that for literally decades!!! First time I heard anybody say it! 🙌
It is donald trump poison he divided the country wider than east african rift valley
Funny how the Republicans have been telling us for months that Biden isn’t mentally in good state of mind. Now we finally realize it 4 months before the election.
We have criticized Trump for not stepping down gracefully at the end of the 2020 election, now we are doing it with our own candidate.
As a party, we are disintegrating and are soon going to be the laughing stock of the world. It is scary, since we don’t know how qualified Newsom or Harris are.
Easy when a millionaire tells you about the inequalities of the economy
@@HumanHamCube When a poor persons complains about the inequalities of the economy it's shrugged off as envy, when a rich person complains about the inequalities of the economy they're called hypocrites ... so I guess it's just a cheap conversational tactic to never ever talk about the inequalities of the economy.
These fools acting like they are middle class

Don,t you realize that the middle class is to stupid to think for them selves , so we have to be told what to think by these fools.
Corporate greed while employees get small pay checks. Tiny or no bonuses
Hence the political division. They need to keep us distracted. "They" have forgotten the lessons of the French Revolution.

As a nurse I have an uncommon clinical specialty, geriatric psychiatry. I know that if Biden does have Parkinson's it's his medication causing those episodes. The medication for Parkinson's causes a special type of side effect called "parkinsonian". Look it up. It raises dopamine in the body and when this is raised in other occurrences it means people have schizophrenia, or bipolar, but it's raised when people become psychotic. If they lower the dose too much he can't walk, but always ride the line of "almost too much" to maximize being able to use his muscles. Look up L dopa, psychosis and Parkinson's disease. The medication makes you crazy. That's why they are hiding it. He's having brief periods of medication induced psychosis and that's why it seems to clear up the next day. They simply titrate the dose lower.
Wow!
That's true, Mr. Douglas, no more middle class. More and more people are living pay check to pay check.
Yes, because of the policies of the democrat party... yet, he's worried that the democrats aren't going to win 🤦🏻♂

I work in a financial institution in a small town. The issue is lack of financial education and discipline. I watch people do dumb things with their money all day long. They don’t invest because of fear they will lose it. So they leave it in a low paying checking account while smart people put $50 or $100 a month into an index mutual fund. Then in 40 years the checking account people have nothing and the investors have a million in a ROTH. This isn’t republicans or democrats. This is basic financial education 101.
It’s the only class missing from K-12 that will actually make a difference.
I agree. Even basic budgeting and not carrying credit card debt. I think an employer who provides a 401K, and a match as an incentive helps.
@@mercury_rising people can go out and teach themselves. There are millions of articles on basic investing, finance and budgeting. At some point an individual needs to take some responsibility and educate themselves.
Wow. I seriously have questions for you! Lol. How do you invest in an index mutual fund? Your credit Union? Bank? Or Schwab or some company? I wish I’d known more about this. Your comment is inspiring! Please say more!
@@o.v.9663 Any brokerage firm will help you open account: Schwab, Fidelity, Scottrade, etc. An index fund that we have is a Vanguard index ETF. It’s aim is to follow the stock market. I think because it is an ETF we don’t have to pay capital gains on any internal trading done throughout the year. It does pay quarterly dividends that we do pay income tax on.
As Trump voters, we want Biden to stay in the race.
Absolutely.
I’m 72. Doing without the extras, worrying about next months bills and getting behind were a fact of life when bringing up our children. We didn’t look to blame anything or anybody. We made it through with perseverance and a lot of spaghetti. I know there are people REALLY struggling but I have to say that as a whole, society is very spoiled. In my day tripping was a whole different thing, but now SO MANY just hop on a plane to anywhere. Now the average person thinks 2 vacations a year is not enough. Our 3 children are doing so much better than we did. The stories about no Tuna in the tuna casserole etc still bind us today. If there is love there is light.
Ana just did a short on this sic media frenzy about Biden so why do you continue. Once he said he’s staying in you all should get behind him. He gave permission for his doctor to give medical info. He’s fine. Back off for Jesse sakes.

Didn't Biden say to the black community. If you don't vote for me you're not black? Wasn't he the same guy that said Obama is one of the clean ones?. Wasn't he the guy that also said you can't go to a 7-Eleven without finding an Indian? Wasn't he the same guy that signed a 1990 crime bill ,locking up thousands and thousands of blacks just for walking down the street. Didn't he at an NAACP meeting say, y'all better learn how to get along with the Hispanics because they're getting ready to outnumber y'all? Wasn't he the same guy who said they're getting ready to put y'all back in chains? Wasn't he the same guy that said, poor kids are just as smart as white kids? Wasn't he the same guy that rejected school choice because he didn't want black kids from the ghetto going to upscale white schools? Wasn't he against busing black kids to suburban schools? What a wonderful guy. Joe Biden is like pouring syrup on SHT, and calling it pancakes 😂
Tired of multi millionaire Hollywood elites telling me they understand the struggle of the middle class. I want a middle class analyst telling me the pain we all feel.
They are still talking about this? There were other candidates in the primary…we the people chose Biden. Does our vote not count?
Your ignorance is not serving you well. The primary wasn't real. It was rigged against legitimate candidates like RFK JR. The DNC wouldn't let him campaign at all in certain states and if he did, all votes went to Biden. It was scam primary. That's why RFK JR left the DNC.

@@amyreynolds3619 Who’s “we”?
I wish someone would realize if Biden steps down that it is not going to change things, it will make the party look weak and unsettled. People who vote regardless will continue to, these undecided voters, and the non voters will stay that way regardless.
Well you can't vote for someone who can't do the job . Biden needs to step down give someone else the best chance of winning
Then there's no hope is there, because keeping him also makes them look weak...in fact it makes them actually weak as opposed to merely looking it
@@Smarterthanyew *How does keeping Biden make Democrats look weak?* 🧐
1.) Whether Biden has been kind of “foggy” or always been like that it shouldn’t matter to folks who have liked his handling of the country because somehow the work has been getting done even if it’s by a puppet master like Cheney was for Bush.
2.) 🤦🏾♂️ Our vote does *not* select the President; the electoral college does. The forefathers didn’t want potentially uneducated people making that immense decision. I wish people would wake-up & remember that. Otherwise, Hillary would’ve served in 2016. Our vote is only the popular vote which doesn’t have to be considered. We directly vote for congressional leaders who then pick the electoral members.
We don’t actually vote for the President though, only the electoral college does.
I agree!
Whoopi is so delusional
She part of the propaganda machine
When is she leaving ?
But she's really angry about the paying fees to going to Manhattan, even the governor canceled that. Special interest drives everyone, and sorry but she could afford that fees.
Whoopi has destroyed her reputation.
I'm sorry, but I have to agree. Maybe she's been an elite for too long..
Whoopi doesn’t understand that to govern you have to win.
And have a working brain.
Douglas, who held a fundraiser for Biden in April, expressed sympathy for the president, praising his decades in office, but he also said he’s “concerned” following his performance at last month’s CNN debate with Donald Trump. Subsequent interviews by Biden have only led for further calls for him to step down.
One of the voices on the left to add themselves to the chorus of those voices on Wednesday is George Clooney, also a big supporter and activist for Democrats. Clooney published an op-ed on Wednesday calling for Biden to be replaced for November’s election, echoing a point made by numerous other Democrats, including strategist James Carville and filmmaker Michael Moore.
They are just being real
This can have been kicked the can down the road for almost 2 years. They are saying Biden can not win. It's stating the facts. So, on November 6th everyone doesn't say what happened? Mike explained it very well.
Because they could lose if they keep him in and they see it.
Love Michael Douglas😊
falling down was a very underrated film
funny - Whoopi is usually so quick to respond to any discussion of people struggling in the modern economy by dismissing it and claiming that the world is the same today as it was in the 90s. Sunny, though, remains consistent - basically apathetic to hearing about the poor and trying to shift it towards identity politics.
THAT PART. Whoopi literally lives in a bougie house in California and Sunny has a whole fancy house in NY. Proud to see POC women make it far, but these two are super dismissive and gaslight.
@@Mrchickenwing74 Whoopi has houses all over the
Chicken nugget, owning more than one home is not a crime - and does mean you are removed from social discourse. You work hard, you save hard, you have offspring IF you can afford to when the time is right… sadly, hard work and intelligent choices isn’t part of most people’s thinking. Why should the ever-shrinking middle-class continue to be punished and villianized!
I believe a reason for the extreme increase of goods and services stems from the scarcity during the pandemic. Many companies increased the prices and now continue to keep the prices elevated.
I know I bought a small chest freezer before Dumbo slapped on his tariffs. A friend liked my little freezer but when went to buy one (post tariffs) the price had jumped by over $50 of what I paid for same item!

Very nice to see Mikeal Douglas.
You know, when Michael Douglas said everyone has to be responsible for voting in their local elections this makes me realize that the focus on people not turning out for the President has nothing to do with messaging about the local/state elections people are witnessing. All these people that want to sit at home because of the President will be sitting at home on local/state too, and that is not Biden’s fault but the fault of those that aren’t voting, don’t believe in voting, and those who aren’t encouraging those uncertain voters to vote for what they hear them complain about. Local and state are on the table more now than ever, and this will drive people to the polls regardless of Biden’s enthusiasm people see in a poll
The candidate at the top of the ticket is a huge driver of the overall vote. That's his or her responsibility. Biden is a remarkably unattractive candidate. They need to get someone else. Fast.
@@wthomas5697 Panic mode?
Local issues really should get people out- especially when you live in a state with initiatives and referendums, when I lived in one I ended up voting to make the county wet, legalize marijuana, raise the minimum wage, and this year they have a constitutional amendment to legalize abortion (after the legislature banned it).
I’m sitting out this election and I travel 1 hr to vote on local level, even work the booths at local elections. So tell yourself whatever you need to tell yourself. Most of us that are not voting/voting Third party is a protest vote because both sides are offering us candidates that we just can NOT support.
Biden is gonna lose the local counties in a LANDSLIDE.
The map may look as bad as Jimmy Carter v Reagan.
I love Whoopi Goldberg and always have but she's absolutely killing me when it comes to her loyalty to Biden. We can't have blinders on for our friends. It's too crucial right now.

Michael Douglas has never known the middle class. He’s as old as Biden and he looks and acts it, I’m not watching all these programs anymore. I want to think for myself and do NOT want Trump to win.
The problem with economics is that there is not one single calculation on the economy that accurately portrays individuals and families. It's all about business. When economic measures are calculated for the individual (e.g., employment), economists deliberately skew the results by REMOVING the total people who "gave up looking" for a job. This system has failed us. Businesses, lobbyists, and the ultra-wealthy are not only responsible, but they are completely UNamerican for doing this to us.
Where were all these people before Primary? Where were all these people 2 years ago? People should have talked to Biden about stepping down, right after he won the first term. Fighting Trump/GOP/SCOTUS fascism requires proactive planning and being on the offense before your enemy. GOP/SCOTUS fascist planning started decades ago in 60s with Southern Strategy and Nixon.
Whoopie has no idea how it is to work hard and pay for what you work for. Can’t stand her.

I think it's horrible that no one is asking the convicted felon over and over again to step down. It's all on Biden now. Fair is fair. They both should step down and we need to start over

Right now there isn't anyone to replace him other than his VP.
Yes, he admitted the truth, yet he's worried that the democrats may lose 🤦🏻♂... We are living in a clown world
Trump economic policy decisions (tariffs and tax cuts) caused inflation and Trump added twice as much to the national debt as Biden, including Covid-19 spending.
"While the effects of a very large tax overhaul will take years to fully develop and analyze, the evidence from the first two years suggests that corporate tax cuts are draining revenue from the U.S. Treasury while doing little that would ultimately benefit U.S. workers. Instead of trickling down to workers, the 2017 tax cuts have largely served to line the pockets of already wealthy investors-further increasing inequality-with little to show for it." Forbes

The man spoke the truth .
Get out of here Whoopi! What else do you need to see? You’re gonna support him until we’re all living with trump as emperor?
Please educate yourself on the law. If you change the ticket republicans will sue the red state judges will pull the democratic ticket leaving Trump alone on the ballot. You know the Supreme Court will agree. You think we can win a write in vote. Get Resl get behind Biden and ĺave the rest up to Kamala and his staff. It's about policy not personalities.

Trump as Emperor is the last we need. If that happens, we all can say democracy goodbye and 'hello' to dictatorship America if Trump wins. Biden may not be a good speaker and he was very bad during the debat, but it is my opinion that action speaks louder than words, and as far as Biden go, he did more for the USA than Trump ever did during the latter's presidency.

Yes, even rich dark skinned folks have more privilege than most white people. The rich are an anomaly and exploit that fact.
oh my god he looks 90 now
We are living in another gilded age. What happed not long after that? The Great Depression.
The economic issues discussed here didn't start 4 years or even 8. The pandemic has made it worse as it sparked inflation and expanded corporate greed. The near zero interest rate cuts prior to 2021 as played a role in inflation.
I think I'd rather hear about the people with concerns about how they're going to feed their children or how they're going to pay their rent instead of the current concerns of people who really I have no concerns except what pair of socks are going to wear today for one time only .. give it a rest with rich and famous and have some consideration for the disappearing middle class ..

Sunny looked at ALYSSA LIKE girl it’s your fault lmaaaoooo
This discussion of the financial situation of everyday Americans changing over time and then contributing to division is a bit scattered and missing the key bits of information that the American People should have: WHY and HOW did we get here? This horrendous gap between the stock market growth and everyday American wages was not always the case. So, when did it start and what were specific policies that led to the worsening and improvement of the financial health of everyday Americans? For instance, college education used to be much cheaper because colleges charged less and States subsidized more. When were wages better? Could it be when effective collective bargaining was more prevalent, the minimum wage was higher, and worker protections were stronger? Could it be when the tax code actually taxed the wealthiest among us much higher (and yet the wealthy's everyday lives were unchanged)? When we were less polarized, could it be before the loss of local newspapers, 24-hour cable news, and "The Longest Grift" (read Joe Conason's book on how influential members of the "conservative" movement used fear/hate/scapegoating to convince people to send them money)? The ruining of the American middle class was INTENTIONAL. Those who starved and destroyed what little social safety net we had and then blamed everyone else but the actual perpetrators did this on purpose, because desperate people have little bandwidth to stay informed and push back against the powerful. Desperate people are easier to control. So, View, inoculate your audience against the con-artists and anti-democracy forces by pointing out the long-practiced ways anti-democratic forces make people turn against their neighbors and fall for "charismatic" dictators. And then look to the UK and to a less degree France for how we reject these people who want to send us backward into feudal times.
3/4 of the time since 2008 has been a democrat president, that's 12 years of Obama plus now Joe and 4 of Trump. Economy is obviously worse under the dems, no matter if that was true in the past, we are always evolving as people and groups of people.
Actor Michael Douglas, a longtime supporter of Joe Biden who hosted a Hollywood fundraiser for the president in April, said on The View today that he is “deeply, deeply concerned” about Biden’s prospects in light of the recent debate.
Asked to comment on George Clooney‘s New York Times op-ed calling for Biden to step aside, Douglas said, “I think it’s a valid point. I’m deeply, deeply concerned. I mean, especially it’s difficult because the Democrats have a big bench, they’ve got a lot of heavy hitters, a lot of talent. And I do worry because with the debate…I mean, it was relatively simple: First of all, they should have just told the president to stand up, put a little make up on for the debate and then where to look, and just don’t deal with all of your facts - just deal with [Trump’s] lies.”
The media knew about his decline for years and they lied about it they have no one to blame but themselves
We are still feeling the effects from COVID. My family is middle class. We have to be careful and there's nothing wrong with that. People don't have patience and want it all. I am a middle class, hispanic and do not play into the negativity. What one focuses on you create. Media needs to drop this. He did call trump a liar.

completely incorrect
The neo liberal economics, true. The political system no. It began after the New Deal and the paranoia against socialism.
I mean you can criticize Reagan, but like it's deeper than that, things were good in the 90s compared to now. Blaming Reagan just focuses on one particular administration instead of solving the issues of today.
Reagan was the 80s, I watched the successful middle class lose so much and most were in their 50s, it was sad. Our houseless problem exploded with his closing the mental institutions😔@@jmhorange
The issues of today began with Reagan, from retirement funding taxes for everyone but the rich, to allowing monopolies and on and on. Everytime since then any republican that got into office caused a massive loss to the middle class and blue collar, while handing out every tax break they could get away with to the wealthiest corporations out there!

This show is still on the air???
The View has been on the air since 1997 and will continue to air as long as you keep watching.
You're here watching it
GO FIGURE
it is not only about money - sense of secure life, keeping freedom, peace of mind all help
I remember a travel vlogger talk about smiles on people's faces even if they are very poor by our standards
Agree With Whoopi 👏👏 Joe Biden 2024 if Joe Biden Considers Stepping Down Then I would like to See Hillary , Harris Ticket 🎟
whoopie gonna call out on November 6th 🤣😂.
Poop Whoopi going to poops herself😂
He's right, middle class disappearing, costs up, sunni goes blaming racism for everything, always
They need to take that show off of tv
The same is occurring in Australia, where we, too, are only one paycheck away from family economic collapse and homelessness.
We need to take into account that the folks sitting at this table are wealthy. They don’t know the struggle of the average American, but I appreciate Alyssa’s acknowledgment of the struggle to live paycheck to paycheck.
I think it's commendable that they're talking against their own self-interest. They're wealthy people who want a society where the income is more equally distributed, even though that will cost themselves a lot of money.
Alyssa sat at the right hand of the "chosen one" until Dec. 3 2019. Less than a month before the insurrection at the capitol. She is still shilling for him in a very skillful manner.
Lol
@@quietreason8679 That doesn’t rule out all the times Whoopi goes on rants and becomes dismissive when guests note that younger folks are struggling due to the increasing cost of living and grocery prices. Whoopi goes on and says we all struggle and questions why younger people complain.
Thank 46
Unreal, I thought he was Spartacus!
That was his father Kirk.
@@howardj602 Really, I didn't know...dah..
Sonny needs to get to the point faster -- her questions always begin with a preamble that wastes the guest time and bores us to death -- just ask the question!!!

RED NOTICE
is it me or is Michael Douglas slurring his words a little? Courage is Biden admitting he need to pass the baton.
I wouldn't say "slurring" ... it seems more a functional difficulty in pronounciation that Michael is experiencing, that may well be a permanent feature of his ongoing speech patterns.
At this point, I believe Whoopie is fighting against ageism. She is getting older and she don't like the fact that things are changing, and her fight to keep Biden in is like she wins for her aging.
100%
Who really cares what Clooney thinks , he is an actor , not an economist
Whoopi is out of touch’ she said, “people used to have a little place to go in the summer.”
Yeah I'm NOT a Washington Politician! I'm an American Citizen Politician! And I hold all of the GOOD power! Biden is for (WE THE OTHER COUNTRIES) And Trump is for (ME THE PEOPLE) And BURLEIGH/Ber-Lee is for (WE THE PEOPLE!!)
He's the smartest and most talented on that stage. The hosts try to act intelligent and engaging with Douglas but are a bunch of ill-prepared buffoons.
I’m with joe ! Biden / Harris 2024 independent!!! Epstein files, we’re just released in Florida Trump’s name is all over and over and over and over again! I’m fed up with big corporate media beating up on President Biden. They all are big donors to Trump.
Tax the richest people. Bernie Sanders has made this point for decades! Also, vote blue.
Agree. Though as a Swede Im sad that many don't seem to get that Social Democracy works
Remember that brief moment when bernie was leading, and "blue no matter who" folks dropped that mantra immediately in favor of "never bernie"
@martinhumble we are the richest nation in the world because of Capital ism No country takes people in like us and give free handouts like us. Plus we give taxpayers money to Countries all over the world
10% of the richest people in the USA already pay 90% of all the tax revenues.
@@drbvo9578 - nice try, these people are so ignorant that they have no idea that the bottom 40% pay zero in federal income tax and they never will The media they listen to lie to them and they don't know any better.
Who has Been in charge for the last 3 years 😅😅
Jill Biden, Valarie Biden Owens, & Hunter Biden.

Every time the Republicans are in control, it's a total disaster. Republicans brought in measures that only enriched their friends and did nothing for the average American, not to mention inflating the national debt to record levels each time they control the WH. If you're one of the average top 10% then I'm sure you'll love their measures.
Sick of people putting ageism before policy or common sense. No POTUS is supposed to be an island to himself. He has an administration and a chain of command specifically for this kind of situation. We aren't in any specific danger that wasn't there before Biden was elected.
I'm a fan of Michael Douglas. I don't agree with some of his politics, but I'll back up his right to believe what he wants. More people should try doing that.
We love michael douglas
Maybe you do 🤮
Whoopi couldn't name the high cost of anything other than taxes, Lol! At least she's not telling Millennials and Zoomers to stop eating avocado toast! 😂😂😂
This show contributes much to the division.. They are haters.
The timing of these calls to step down now are suspect. Where was this heavy bench a year or two ago? Why didn’t they run in the Primary? It seems pretty sh*tty to plan blow up his Nomination at the Convention!
George Clooney believes we should NOT VOTE for the candidate who poops his pants, unlike someone we know.
Trump's promises not kept or outright failures include the following: tax cuts (for the rich), infrastructure week, immigration and the wall, social security and medicare, drug prices, deficit and debt, repeal and replace the ACA.
Trump business failures include the Trump Mortgages, USFL New Jersey Generals, Trump Steaks, Tour de Trump, Taj Mahal Casino, the Trump Shuttle, the Ultimate Merger, Trump Vodka, Truth Social, Trump University, Trump the Board Game, Trump Ocean Resort in Mexico, and The Apprentice.
I love Whoopi's joke when she said at the end she still needs time to see that Biden is not doing his job. That was funny Whoopi -----> Ha Ha Ha
Don't listen to the racist. Stupid is as stupid does.
What a survivor the man is. Cancer missed by elite healthcare center..dismissive the physician was..he went to Canada as an alternative and saved himself. Here he is years later.
And as for 2024..be sensible and vote the the current status quo which we have miraculously maintained since 2021.
We don’t have to be perfect. We just have to be finding our way while we have it. 💙💙💙💙
People want Biden to get out,but who to say if another person would be a.ble to win,stop complaining and get out and tell what Trump would do if he got back in office. I am voting for Biden..Keeping going Joe
Who’s Michael Douglas?
Remember when Sunny said, "Believe all women" until Joe Biden was accused by Tara Reade?
You can not take seriously Sunny. She is so subjective......
She never said believe all women. She said believe women.
@@peachesandpoets wrong.
Remember after nobody bought Tara Reade's story (except MAGA, of course), she fled to Russia, of all places?
You mean the one who has been caught lying under oath and recently defected to Russia?
I need people to let Joe know that I am ready for him to drop out and endorse me for President.
