WATCH: Sunny Hostin caught on body cam using 'federal prosecutor' privilege to shield Ivy League son from trespassing citation
Sunny Hostin of “The View” has made a career for herself lecturing the show’s threadbare audience about how privileged white people are compared to black people like her.
If Hostin’s multimillion-dollar net worth and prestigious education and career backgrounds weren’t enough to debunk her oppression narrative, perhaps her latest stunt is.
“Turns out, when push comes to shove, she has no problem using her own personal privilege to get ahead,” Sara Gonzales says.
On a recent episode of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered,” the BlazeTV host played viral bodycam footage of Hostin intervening after her 24-year-old son, Gabriel Hostin, was detained for trespassing on active Metro-North railroad tracks in New York.
According to reports, Gabriel was detained by police after they spotted him on the railroad right-of-way, violating posted “no trespassing” signs. He told officers he was out for a jog, saw open gates, and went in for what he described as hill training.
During the stop, he was on the phone with his mother.
“Sunny decided to step in and see if she could use that privilege she claims that everyone else has but her to try to convince the police to let him go,” Sara scoffs.
In the video, Hostin can be heard on the phone telling Gabriel, “Tell them your mother is a federal prosecutor.”
She then addressed the officers: “That’s my son. He’s a Harvard graduate. He’s not a criminal. He has no criminal record. No criminal history.”
When police explained to her that Gabriel was guilty of “criminal tresspassing,” Hostin doubled down on her good-boy narrative.
“Officer, is that really necessary? This is a kid that doesn’t do anything. He’s a Harvard graduate and a Yale researcher. He teaches geometry to fourth graders in the Bronx,” she reiterated.
“First of all, all of that sounds like very, very, very, very high privileges. No one in my family is a Harvard graduate and a Yale researcher and all of these very fancy titles, so you’ve already got the privilege that you claim you don’t have, Sunny,” Sara retorts, speculating that Gabriel ignored the “no trespassing” sign because his privilege made him think he’s “better than everyone else.”
When police refused to cave, Hostin took her elite privilege to a new level by showing up in person at the scene.
“Can you give him a warning?” she asked.
When the officer explained that he had to issue something but would lower Gabriel’s charge to a simple violation that would not affect his record, Hostin revisited her career history and the good-boy narrative for a third time.
“I’m a former federal prosecutor. ... He’s a Harvard grad who teaches fourth-grade geometry to South Bronx kids. This is not a kid who’s ever in trouble. It’s an innocent mistake,” she said.
But the cops, whom Sara praises, stood firm and issued Gabriel a trespass violation.
“Maybe the silver lining is that they are fans of her show and they just took ... her advice,” she laughs, playing an old clip of Hostin arguing on “The View” that “no one is above the law.”
“They must watch your show, Sunny.”

Sunny Hostin says American flags make her feel ‘unsafe’ — then drops an even crazier take
In the wake of America’s vibrant 250th birthday celebrations, Sunny Hostin of “The View” apparently felt the need to counteract the widespread patriotism by claiming American flags make her feel unsafe.
On a July 6 episode, the woke co-host said, “There are times when I walk into a community, and I see American flags all over the community, and I suddenly feel unsafe because there is a section of this country that has co-opted the American flag, and they equate being an American or an American flag with white supremacy, and that should never be the symbol of white supremacy, but they have weaponized [it].”
BlazeTV’s Sara Gonzales calls Hostin’s comment “one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.”
“I feel very safe when I go into a community with American flags everywhere because I’m like, ‘OK, cool. They love our country. They probably have guns. I'm safe,”’ Sara says.
Perhaps Hostin would prefer “a Chinese communist flag” instead, she quips.
Hostin’s comment, she explains, stemmed from the panel’s conversation about a viral photo taken on July 4 capturing a black woman on the Washington Metro surrounded by masked members of the white nationalist group Patriot Front, which Sara says is most likely a “fed op.”
Hostin — a privileged Notre Dame grad with a bachelor’s and J.D., former federal prosecutor, multi-millionaire co-host, legal analyst, and bestselling author — had the audacity to then claim this viral photograph embodies her experience as a black woman in America.
“As a black woman, my lived experience in this country was embodied by a photograph that was taken in celebrating the 250th,” she said, referencing the viral image.
But apparently the picture doesn’t just embody her own experience but the experience of black Americans in general.
“That for me was a defining image of modern America for black Americans,” she added.
Sara notes that the black woman Hostin apparently identifies with was previously arrested and charged for indecent exposure on public transit.
She also can’t help but scoff at Hostin’s phony victimhood.
“I’m a ‘View’ host. I get paid too much money just to bloviate and say dumb bulls**t, and somehow this is my lived experience as well,” she mocks.

‘The View’ keeps spreading half-truths about the Karmelo Anthony case — and Sunny Hostin is leading the charge
The ladies of “The View” have once again proven that objective truth is not on their list of priorities.
On a recent episode, the panel discussed the case of Karmelo Anthony, who was recently sentenced to 35 years in jail for fatally stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a high school track meet in April 2025 after the two had a verbal confrontation.
Whoopi Goldberg noted that all qualified black prospective jurors were struck from the jury pool — a move Anthony’s defense team challenged under a Batson ruling. The judge overruled the objection, however, after prosecutors provided a race-neutral explanation: The three jurors were educators whose profession made them too closely connected to a school-related incident involving high school students.
“The case has a lot of people divided. Some people believe that race was a factor in the trial because there were no black jurors. ... Some folks think, 'No, no, he got a fair trial.' But is this a jury of his peers?” asked Goldberg.
Co-host Sunny Hostin then replied, “I don't think so. And you know this has been an issue for such a long time in the judicial system where prosecutors use what are called, you know, Batson challenges.”
Pat Gray is disgusted by Hostin’s sneaky half-truth.
“Prosecutors and defense attorneys use [Batson challenges],” he corrects.
The other factor Hostin conveniently left out, says Pat, is the fact that “there were more than three black people in the jury pool.”
Some of those black candidates were struck, he argues, because they made statements of obvious bias.
They were “saying things like, ‘Yeah, I'd have a real hard time with putting a brother in jail.’ OK, well, then get out. Obviously, that's not going to work,” Pat scoffs.
Sadly, Hostin wasn’t done lying.
She went on to claim that Batson challenges are loopholes for racism.
“It’s a challenge that is used to strike a juror, generally a juror of color,” she declared.
“No, it’s not generally a juror of color. It could be white ... it could be anybody!” exclaims Pat, accusing Hostin of playing the race card.
To make matters even worse, Hostin, producer Kris Kruz points out, has a law degree from Notre Dame Law School and even served as a federal prosecutor with the Department of Justice.
But despite her prestigious education and high-profile government experience, Hostin still doesn’t seem to understand what a jury of one’s peers really means.
“You're supposed to have a jury of your peers, and you're not supposed to just strike someone because they're black,” she said, arguing that striking jurors for being educators was not “an appropriate reason.”
“A jury of your peers does not mean that they're all your same color or same age. That's not what a jury of your peers means,” says Pat.
But perhaps Hostin’s worst take came next.
Citing the recently released footage where Anthony told cops, “He put his hands on me. I told him not to,” Hostin said, “[Metcalf] was 200 pounds. [Anthony] was 130 pounds.”
Anthony’s weight has been a point of contention throughout the trial. While he was frequently described as weighing roughly 130 pounds in the trial, his high school football bio listed him at roughly 160 pounds.
Pat couldn’t care less what Anthony weighs, though. “Just because Austin was bigger than him doesn't mean it's OK to kill him!”

‘Epic levels of terminal TDS’: The most American event ever just BROKE ‘The View’ co-hosts’ brains
As expected, President Trump’s White House UFC celebration sent liberals into meltdown mode, with the women of “The View” hysterically calling the event a “desecration” of the White House.
“We are talking terminal cases of Trump derangement syndrome all across the country with the libs,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales says before playing a clip of the angry hosts.
“I don’t know how MMA or cage fighting is emblematic of our country,” Sunny Hostin said to the rest of the panel. “I just don’t understand how that sort of reflects American culture.”
“This doesn’t feel like a sport. This feels like you’re trying to show us who we’re supposed to be,” Whoopi Goldberg chimed in, before Ana Navarro added that it was evidence of the "continued desecration of the White House.”
“They’re concerned about the desecration of the White House because they believe that the White House should be respected, is what I’m hearing,” Gonzales says, pointing out that under the Biden administration, they had no issues with Biden essentially turning the White House into a Pride flag.
“You guys are prancing trannies around on the White House lawn. You want to talk about desecrating the White House? Give me a break,” she continues. “How about Joe Biden desecrating Easter Sunday, calling it Trans Visibility Day and hosting the event at the White House?”
Gonzales illustrates her point with a clip of a transgender woman on the White House lawn, pulling down his shirt to flash his fake breasts to the camera.
“That’s what happened on the White House lawn under Joe Biden’s tenure,” she says. “I’m not going to be lectured by these people. I’m not going to listen to these people claim that they care about desecration of the White House because it’s just such an esteemed place.”

Dr. Jill forgets she’s ‘Dr. Jill’: Biden’s media tour takes a tragic turn on 'The View'
Former first lady Jill Biden has been making the media rounds, with one of her latest stops being with the women of "The View" — and ending in disaster.
“For some reason, Jill Biden really just still wants to be the it girl. And so, she’s still doing this media tour. And it didn’t start well. It’s not going well. It’s not going to end well,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales says.
In a clip from her appearance, Jill explained that she was terrified that Joe was having a stroke during one of the debates.
Co-host Sara Gaines responded, saying, “He’s given so much of himself and to see you even saying like, ‘I thought he was having a medical episode, I was concerned.’ Was there any part of you that went into protection mode of like, ‘Joe you can’t keep doing this?’”
“But the doctors told me he was fine. I’m not a doctor,” Biden responded, correcting herself, “I mean, I am a doctor.”
“Excuse me,” Gonzales comments. “I was informed if you don’t call her Dr. Jill Biden every single time you refer to her that you are rude and have no manners and now here she is accidentally admitting that she doesn’t even consider herself to be a doctor.”
“Now, obviously, she meant a medical doctor,” she added, recalling Whoopi Goldberg once using her platform on "The View" to champion making Jill Biden the surgeon general.
“Dr. Jill becomes a surgeon general. His wife. Joe Biden’s wife,” Whoopi once said on "The View," before calling Jill a “hell of a doctor.”
“She’s a teacher but, you know,” Sunny Hostin chimed in, correcting a very confused Whoopi.
“Whoopi’s final look before that clip ended,” Gonzales says, laughing.
“Oh my gosh, like inject that into my veins. So confused. This poor bird is so confused,” she continues.
“The same woman who literally just said she’s a hell of a doctor. As if she knew. As if she’s like, ‘Yeah, I’ve watched her operate on someone before. She is one hell of a doctor.’ No, it’s just an education doctorate, by the way,” she adds.
