ABC “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg formally shhhhhed Meghan McCain during Monday’s program. McCain shoved back hard, saying fine, she won’t talk for the rest of the show.

“I’m OK with that,” Whoopi snapped back. (RELATED:Whoopi Talks About Passing Gas)

Let me just say, it’s thrilling that this show is LIVE.

The trouble largely began brewing when the ladies began discussing the impeachment proceedings of President Donald Trump that will soon be taken up by the Senate.

Joy Behar predictably bashed Sens. Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham, claiming they don’t “give a fig” about the Constitution and that the American people are going to get “smart and hip” pretty soon because “everyone’s been on a jury.”

Behar added, “We all know you’re not supposed to decide the fate of the defendant until you hear all the facts.”

McCain piped up. But the show silenced part of her statement because she used the word “motherfucker” when quoting a congresswoman.

“But how is that different than Rashida Tlaib on election night saying, ‘We’re gonna to impeachment the motherfucker.’ There is partisanship on both sides before the trial has even begun,” the conservative co-host said. “…This, like, pearl clutching that it’s only Republicans that are doing this, it’s a completely partisan process. I think the American public is completely sick of it. I also take great offense at the idea that there is not integrity and seriousness given the gravity of the accusation. I think most people have tuned out because people are making it as political as they are.”

Sparring with her co-hosts has become old hat to McCain. The arguing, in part, is the reason the show has come back to life in the past few years. Most of the time, it doesn’t seem that McCain’s opposing positions land her in scalding water. Rather, it’s her mouth, her forcefulness, and her pension of often interrupting her co-hosts, sometimes glaring at them and rolling her eyes.

But Monday’s program may well prove that McCain flaunting her conservative views may be getting under her co-hosts collective skin (minus Huntsman most of the time).

“I implore everyone to stop being partisan on both sides,” McCain continued.

Abby Huntsman, McCain’s only real pal on the panel, said her whole weekend was consumed by Trump. “I go into the supermarket and it comes up,” she said. (RELATED: Abby Huntsman Talks About Her Parents’ Sex Lives On ‘The View’)

She thinks Congress needs more proof to impeach Trump.

Whoopi explained why Graham’s remarks were especially ridiculous.

“Stop saying I’m not gonna look at the evidence, you just can’t do that, that’s not the American way!” she said. “…It’s not even hypocrisy, it is the thing that has scared everyone, which is this divide that you talk about all the time.”

“Me?” McCain asked.

“Yeah, you talk about it all the time,” she replied.

McCain tried to explain herself.

“I spend my time around conservatives,” she said. “…There are a group of people in this country that think this is completely partisan on the left as well. I’m not saying what Lindsay Graham said was OK because I disagree with. it. Go back to again, a president who perjured himself in my lifetime. …By the way, Trump wants a long impeachment process because it’s good for him and it’s helping his numbers.” (RELATED: Meghan McCain, The Duchess Of Sedona, Makes Royal Appearance On ‘The View’)

To loud audience applause, c0-host Sunny Hostin remarked that Trump “used a foreign government to impede our very democracy. That is the height of hypocrisy for this Republican-led Senate.”

McCain then explained her job at ABC, which had to irritate her co-hosts.  “My job here is not to litigate the ethics of it,” she said. “I’m an ABC political analyst along with being a View co-host. My job is to analyze the politics of it.”

McCain and Hostin began arguing. “Let me talk, I let you finish, let me talk,” McCain said.

Hostin interrupted McCain, saying she wasn’t talking about her, she was talking about U.S. senators.

McCain continued to talk.

“Girl…please stop talking, please stop talking right now!” Whoopi said, loudly scolding her younger co-host.

“No problem,” McCain replied. “I won’t talk for the rest of the show.”

This was music to Whoopi’s ears.

“I’m OK with that. I’m OK with that,” she said. “If you’re going to behave like this…”

“I’m not behaving like anything,” McCain said, interrupting her.

Whoopi wasn’t finished disciplining her.

But it was obvious someone was speaking to Whoopi in her ears.

“You are, you are talking over,” she said. “What you’re doing…we’re not doing anything, how about this, former FBI, we’ll be right back.

(Note to readers: McCain does not keep her promise to not speak for the rest of the show.)

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
