A vocal supporter of “responsible gun ownership,” Matthew McConaughey got into a heated argument with Joy Behar of The View when she questioned the actor’s anti-gun views.
During his appearance on the show, McConaughey talked about the value of his career as a father of three and promoted his children’s book Just Because. The actor was praised by co-host Sunny Hostin for being “so outspoken against violence, and gun violence in particular” after she veered off course.
You thought about running for Texas governor in 2021, but ultimately decided to put your family first. Do you believe holding public office will be in your future? Hostin enquired.
“Yes, if that’s where I think I can be most useful,” the Interstellar actor answered. “At this time, I want to be the most helpful father I can be.”
“Do you think you could get elected in Texas being anti-gun?” Behan asked again.
“One thing about me and politics, to give you a direct statement right there, is me playing a game I’m not interested in playing,” McConaughey said, pointing a finger at Behar.
“Okay, don’t do it,” Behar said, attempting to diffuse the situation by stating, “I did want to say that I’ve done a lot of research in terms of your advocacy, and I don’t think you’re pro-gun responsibility and legislation.”
At a White House meeting after the 2022 Robb Elementary School tragedy in Uvalde, Texas, where an 18-year-old former student killed 19 pupils and two teachers, McConaughey urged people to “renegotiate our wants from our needs.”
Background checks and responsible ownership are essential. The age requirement to purchase an AR-15 rifle needs to be raised to 21. A waiting time is required for such firearms. Red flag rules are necessary, and those who violate them should face repercussions; these are tactical, sensible, and realistic regulations, the speaker stated.
“Responsible gun owners are fed up with the Second Amendment being abused and hijacked by some deranged individuals,” the Oscar-winning actor continued.
The actor and his spouse, Camila Alves, started the Greenlights Grant Initiative in the wake of the horrific event with the intention of “ensuring the well-being of our children and creating safer school environments.”
Along with McConaughey, Alves is the parent of three children: Levi, 15, Vida, 13, and Livingston, 10.

Carville Foresees Trump’s Downfall, Warns White House Is “Hanging by a Thread”
Carville Predicts Trump’s Downfall: “The White House Will Collapse in Weeks”
James Carville isn’t mincing words—he’s convinced Donald Trump’s presidency is on the brink. The longtime Democratic strategist believes the combination of plummeting approval ratings, abrupt firings, and a flurry of executive orders will lead to an imminent meltdown in the administration.
Why Carville Thinks Trump’s Days Are Numbered
At 80 years old, Carville has seen political storms before, and he’s certain this one is different. He points to Trump’s approval rating, which he says has nosedived from the low 50s to the upper 30s in record time. More importantly, he predicts that key Republican allies will start distancing themselves—especially if economic turmoil follows the budget-cutting policies of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). According to Carville, Democrats don’t even need to push—the White House could crumble under its own weight if moderate Republicans begin to waver.
Trump Fires Back
Unsurprisingly, Trump isn’t letting Carville’s comments slide. Taking to Truth Social, he dismissed the strategist as a “loser” who refuses to acknowledge his supposed “best polling numbers.” But Carville isn’t backing down. He doubled down in follow-up interviews, insisting that the administration is in free fall and could hit rock bottom within a month.
So, is the White House really on the verge of collapse, or is this just another heated political exchange? One thing’s for sure—Carville’s prediction is fueling intense debate across cable news and social media.
