If The View were a horror movie—and sometimes it’s not that far off—Joy Behar would be the final girl. The comic, who looks better than any 78-year-old has any right to, is the only original panelist left on the daytime talk show, which is currently in its 24th season. When I reach Behar by phone, there’s audible commotion in the background. After telling the background noisemakers, “Keep it down!” she returns to our call. “It’s just one of those days,” she says resignedly. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Behar’s been taping episodes of The View from her New York home. I’m being […]
The ratings are in, and it appears as if Democratic presidential nominee and former US Vice President Joe Biden’s Thursday night town hall attracted more viewers than that of US President Donald Trump, whose program was simulcast across three networks. Early Nielsen television ratings released on Friday revealed Biden attracted 13.9 million total viewers to his town hall on Thursday night, versus Trump’s 13.1 million, Bloomberg reported. While the former vice president’s event was only broadcast via ABC, Trump’s town hall could be viewed on NBC, MSNBC and CNBC. An estimated 73.1 million viewers tuned into the September debate between Biden […]
Whoopi Goldberg just came out and said it Thursday morning. She does not believe President Donald Trump ever tested positive for COVID-19. During a discussion on The View about the president resuming his large campaign rallies as coronavirus cases continue to rise across the country, Goldberg said: “You know what? The more he talks, the less I think he had it, personally. That’s just me, that’s just me.” But it wasn’t just her. “Me too!” Joy Behar agreed. “I’m starting to think that too, Whoopi.” “I’m starting to feel like, really?” Goldberg added. “Because I just feel like, wait a minute.” […]
Cryptocurrency exchange Binance’s latest experiment to integrate decentralized finance with its centralized platform, Binance Smart Chain, is not here to beat DeFi, said the company’s CEO, Changpeng “CZ” Zhao. Instead, it aims to accelerate crypto and DeFi’s mass adoption. “Today, 99.9% of the money is still in fiat,” said Zhao in a one-on-one session with CoinDesk’s Leigh Cuen, during CoinDesk’s invest: ethereum economy virtual conference Wednesday. “So in order to get those money in, we still need (fiat) gateways.” Too early for ‘meaningful’ competition Binance announced the launch of Binance Smart Chain, its version of a decentralized public blockchain, in early […]

A member of Joe Biden’s presidential campaign staff said the standard beliefs of devote Christians, Muslims and Jews, such as considering homosexual acts sinful should be “disqualifiers” for any potential US Supreme Court justice. “I’d heavily prefer views like that not be elevated to SCOTUS, but unfortunately, our current culture is still relatively intolerant,” Biden staffer Nikitha Rai said Monday night on Twitter. “It will be a while before those types of beliefs are so taboo that they’re disqualifiers.” Rai, who is deputy data director for the Biden campaign, made her comments in a thread about the religious beliefs of Supreme […]
Judge Amy Coney Barrett, picked by President Donald Trump for the US Supreme Court, has said a judge’s policy views must play no role in their decisions ahead of what is expected to be a highly-politicized confirmation process. Speaking alongside Trump in the Rose Garden, minutes after he officially tapped her to fill the SCOTUS seat left vacant by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Barrett reaffirmed her commitment to the judicial philosophy of her mentor, former Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. “I clerked for Justice Scalia more than twenty years ago, but the lessons I’ve learnt still resonate. His […]
Whoopi Goldberg had one piece of advice for former Vice President Joe Biden ahead of next Tuesday’s debate with President Donald Trump. “All Joe has to say is, ‘I may look sleepy, I may be sleepy, but I didn’t let 200,000 people die in the middle of a pandemic,’” The View moderator said on Wednesday after playing a clip from Trump’s massive outdoor rally in Pennsylvania from the night before. As Sunny Hostin put it, “It looks like COVID-Palooza.” She added, “No masks, no social distancing, everybody crammed together and Donald Trump doesn’t care. He doesn’t care. He’s actually still downplaying […]
Bob Woodward’s Rage might be getting all of the attention in the political book world right now, but estranged Trump fixer Michael Cohen attempted to wrest back some of the spotlight on Monday when he brought his own book tour to The View. The author of Disloyal: A Memoir: The True Story of the Former Personal Attorney to President Donald J. Trump tried his best to ingratiate himself to the five co-hosts, explaining, “The whole purpose of the book was really to open up people’s eyes so that they understand the individual that’s asking them to vote for him in November.” […]
The View landed a spicy guest for the first episode of its 24th season on Tuesday when former White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders joined the five co-hosts to talk about her new book, Speaking for Myself: Faith, Freedom, and the Fight of Our Lives Inside the Trump White House. And it couldn’t have come at a more fraught moment for her former boss. The first question for Huckabee Sanders went to Meghan McCain, who found herself once again in the middle of the latest Trump scandal after new reporting around the president’s disparaging remarks about the military, including her […]
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell did not raise many eyebrows Thursday morning when he announced the U.S. central bank would encourage some periods of inflation above its 2% target in certain circumstances to boost the long-term economy. In remarks before a virtual version of the annual Jackson Hole symposium, Powell said the Fed was looking to bolster the labor market, though this is largely an issue Congress would have to deal with amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The current recession differs from most previous financial downturns because of its underlying cause; namely, lockdowns rather than the after-effects of an overheated economy, […]

President Trump held ‘tele-rallies’ with supporters in Wisconsin on Friday followed by ones with Michigan and Arizona on Saturday. The calls were streamed in Facebook and received a total of over two million views. The tele-rallies are being held in lieu of traditional rallies for the time being because of the pandemic.

ATHENS (Sputnik) – Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias said in an interview with the Skai TV channel that it would be dangerous to look at the issue of Hagia Sophia’s conversion from a museum into a mosque from the perspective of the Greek-Turkish relationship alone, and called for addressing it as a global issue instead. “There, [at the EU meeting] Greece will ask the European Union to draw up a list of the stringiest possible measures against Turkey in case it violates the sovereign rights of Greece”, Dendias said in the interview. The top diplomat went on to say that Greece’s […]
Trump on an unannounced visit to Bagram air base in Afghanistan last year. Trump has consistently displayed a cavalier attitude to armed forces’ lives. Photograph: Tom Brenner/Reuters Guardian: Donald Trump likes to suggest he has got the back of US soldiers battling America’s foes around the world. It was a big theme of his 2016 campaign and his West Point speech earlier this month. So great was his boundless care for America’s fighting men and women, he said, that he would halt the endless, costly foreign wars prosecuted by his predecessors – and bring them home. In case anyone needs a reminder […]

The View’s conservative co-host Meghan McCain railed against the wild party scenes from this past Memorial Day weekend, saying on Tuesday she was confused why she’d been pushing for a slow reopening of the economy amid the coronavirus pandemic if Americans were going to immediately treat it like Girls Gone Wild. With videos of packed bars, pools and beaches going viral over the weekend, host Whoopi Goldberg kicked off Tuesday’s broadcast of the ABC talk show by wondering aloud if the big crowds of partygoers will put the country in a “bad place” by July 4th, especially as the nation passes […]
The View co-host Joy Behar ripped former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Tuesday for saying Americans will need to sacrifice and accept more death in order to quickly reopen the American economy, sardonically asking whether the Republican is actually as “pro-life” as he claims. During an interview with CNN on Monday, Christie—a one-time Trump transition team member—pushed for a reversal of shelter-in-place restrictions in order to immediately open businesses and public places back up, insisting that the impact of the shutdowns was as bad or worse than the deaths from the coronavirus pandemic. “Of course, everybody wants to save every […]
