This week, Bill O’Reilly took to the airwaves to critique the hosts of ‘The View’, labeling them as delusional following their interview with President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden.
O’Reilly expressed his discontent particularly with Biden’s assertion that Vice President Kamala Harris’s political setbacks stemmed from sexism, a claim he found absurd and the show’s acceptance of this narrative troubling.
In his analysis, he suggested that it may not be outright deception on their part; rather, they appear to genuinely believe in a constructed reality that shields them from facing uncomfortable truths.
Reflecting on the past, O’Reilly reminisced about his occasional appearances on the show during Barbara Walters’s tenure, contrasting that period with what he perceives as the current chaotic state of The View.

Bill O’Reilly characterized the hosts of The View as beyond help after their recent interview with former President Joe Biden. He dismissed the claim that Harris’s challenges were due to sexism, asserting that most criticisms against her had little to do with her gender and suggesting that Biden lacks credible evidence to support his assertion. He described the show’s hosts as “delusional” and the program itself as a “stupid show,” indicating they buy into whatever narrative the former president propagates.
“Are they lying? Technically, they’re not lying, because they live in a delusional world, a world that doesn’t really exist,” the former Fox News host remarked. “They fabricate that world. In the past, individuals responsible for hiring media personnel for shows like The View would have avoided hiring those who are delusional.”
O’Reilly’s observations resonate with a broader critique of the media landscape, particularly regarding how some outlets may create echo chambers rather than fostering genuine dialogue. The hosts of The View, according to this perspective, seem to inhabit a reality where they can neither confront the implications of their beliefs nor the motivations behind political phenomena, including the unexpected election of Donald Trump. Their treatment of the Bidens exemplifies this disconnect.
