Pelosi, Hill bring unique perspectives to hot topics on The View
In season 11, episode 21 of The View, the show welcomed two notable guests with unique perspectives on hot topics in the news: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and country music star Faith Hill. The episode covered a range of current events, from the ongoing debate over healthcare to President Trump's European trip.
Pelosi, who has been a frequent guest on The View over the years, sat down with co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Meghan McCain and Abby Huntsman to discuss the latest in the ongoing healthcare debate in the United States. Pelosi expressed her regret at the lack of bipartisanship in efforts to improve the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare. She also spoke about efforts to address the opioid crisis and gun violence.
The Speaker also addressed questions about the ongoing controversy surrounding the Trump administration's alleged ties to Russia. Pelosi expressed concern that the Russian government may have compromising information on the president, and said that she believes an independent commission is necessary to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Later in the show, Hill joined the co-hosts to talk about her work with the Child Hunger Ends Here campaign, and how she uses her platform as a celebrity to make a difference in the world. Hill spoke passionately about the importance of fighting hunger in America, particularly among children who are most vulnerable.
The country music star also shared her thoughts on the recent controversy surrounding NFL players protesting during the national anthem. Hill, who has performed the national anthem at numerous sporting events, said that she believes in the right to peaceful protest, but that she personally would never kneel during the anthem.
Throughout the episode, the co-hosts engaged in lively debates about the news of the day and shared their own personal experiences. Behar, in particular, had a heated exchange with McCain over the healthcare debate, with Behar arguing for a single-payer system and McCain advocating for a more market-based approach.
As always, the co-hosts also shared their takes on the latest celebrity gossip, with Goldberg expressing her disappointment in Taylor Swift's recent behavior and Huntsman defending the singer.
Overall, this episode of The View offered a unique perspective on a wide range of topics, from major political issues to everyday concerns, with insights from two notable guests who brought their own distinctive voices to the conversation.
