Whoopi Goldberg says Trump’s Iran actions are to distract from Nancy Guthrie case in bizzare claim
NY Post
“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg claimed Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s actions in Iran were a method of distraction to keep public attention off the Jeffrey Epstein files and the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.
The co-hosts discussed the latest in the war with Iran, particularly the surge in oil prices and gas prices.
“It’s nutty as hell,” Goldberg said. “And you’re right, every day it’s something new. And it’s, you know, I was thinking about it yesterday, because I thought, ‘Well, OK, why haven’t we been talking about Savannah Guthrie and what’s going on there? Why haven’t we — why have we not been talking about the Epstein files?’ Because that’s still there.
“This is meant to get us so worked up that we are unable to see anything else.”
The co-hosts seemed to agree, with Sunny Hostin adding, “It’s a very ‘wag the dog’ feeling.”

“Everyone is worrying about what comes next,” reports David Patrikarakos at The Free Press of what people in Iran are telling him. He talked to “a friend in Tehran I will call Reza. ‘The bombing is heavy,’ he told me. ‘And it’s frightening. But we have been frightened and terrorized for almost 50 years.’ ” No one sees any “signs of mass uprising — it’s just too dangerous” as “gangs of Basij enforcers, often heavily armed, roam the streets, threatening civilians and forcing them indoors.” Indeed, “the entire regime is now on a war footing,” but: “The state is in disarray. Senior officials are scattered and confused” and “an internal power struggle appears to be under way.” He concludes: “Despite the Islamic Republic’s best efforts, the battle for Iran — by both external powers and Iranians inside the country — is far from over. It may take time, but I am convinced this regime will fall.”
