[Haleth]

They booked some interesting guests for this week, a lot of people I'd like to hear from.  I wonder if Joy is happy or disappointed to be missing Monday's show.

[Spartan Girl]

I’m sure Monday’s show will give John Oliver a lot to talk about. As for myself…

Monday is a waste of time, just an asshole schilling his book and there won't be any tough questions that will get a sensible answer because he doesn't have an original thought in his head.

[StaceyNotStacie]

Interesting  that Cruz is there when Joy isn’t. I wonder if more Republicans will start showing up on Mondays now that Joy is usually gone. 
 

Halloween is the following Monday. I wonder if all six hosts will be there. 

[Haleth]

I bet Joy would just as soon pass on dressing up for Halloween. She never really seems excited by it.

Neither am I. I hate their Halloween shows. Why give Ted Cruz a platform and especially with Joy not there? I don't need the headache.

But Ana will be there.

[TheGreenKnight]

I expect Ana will throw softballs compared to how she acted in the Charlie Crist interview. Yes, I expect more of those types of guests will show up on Monday since it will be easier for them.

More reasons Monday's are unwatchable.

[falltime]

According to their ticket site, they will film the Halloween special on Wednesday.

[geekburger]

Well this is a first. Audience protestors! 

[BuckeyeLou]

Yikes!  How did the protestors get into the studio?  I would think Security would have been prepared for problems with Cruz showing up

[Haleth]

We’ll, that was interesting. Ana did not mince words. 

[geekburger]

AFG didn’t either! Good for her.

[BuckeyeLou]

Oh My! This is a wild show!  Ted Cruz got to yelling & Ana said "You dont have to yell, I am sitting right next to you!" , all the ladies were in agreement while contesting what Cruz was saying, Yay for Whoopie!  Members of the audience get a copy of his new book, oh yay: HA

[Spartan Girl]

At least John Oliver will have some good stuff for his next show...

[Haleth]

Whoopi has great points to make. Unfortunately those great points go through a Whoopi translator and what comes out of her mouth is pretty much nonsensical.  We all know what she’s trying to say but she just can’t get the words out. 

[statsgirl]

For the most part I liked the ladies' rebuttals. but I wish they had done more with Cruz saying that Milton Friedman won a Nobel Prize and he says that cutting taxes works. Friedman won his economics prize in 1976. Since the mid 80s, the US has been a real life experiment testing his trickle down theory.  Recent Nobel Prize recipients have won disproving that part of Friedman's theories and I want that clapped back when Cruz uses Friedman to justify his policies.

now that's a book i'd be ok with burning or banning from schools!

why on earth did they have this awful person on the show??????

the sad thing is that this will prompt comments on facebook about what a horrible left wing show this is

Probably inevitable even though the hosts were civil and it was Cruz who interrupted and raised his voice. 

[limestation]

It just figures that this loathsome, pathetic shell of a man - that was Ted Cruz - only came on the show to solely flog his hideous book. I thought Goldberg was going to come across the desk at one point and I wouldn't have blamed her. How can one keep one's cool when you have this lying, simpering, science-denying, arrogant, Trump-supporting POS sitting there spewing yet more stupidity?!!! 

Even though they bleeped out what the audience was shouting, I can leave it to my imagination. Figures Disney is into censorship now. We are all adult. We can handle bad words.

[cinsays]

and i am sure Teddy's wife thought it was really funny when Trump called her ugly.  She's an attractive woman, but no woman wants to be described that way, do they?

Well she married Ted Cruz so she obviously has a sense of humor.

A reminder about this part of the rules for The View forum:

Quote

Any discussion of political figures, political parties or political entities (Congress, Parliament, etc.) is considered off-topic and not allowed on Primetimer UNLESS it is specifically mentioned as part of the show's episodes, and then only in the context of the show itself.   So if they talk about a political figure on The View, you can talk about the way they discussed it, but cannot use that as a jumping off point to talk about your own opinions on that person. 

[athousandclowns]

When he laughed in response about the things Trump said about his father and wife was disgusting. That is all. 
Is not  Joy  off every Monday? I wouldn’t think she’d want to be there. No mystery to me. 

[Medicine Crow]

Who did Whoopi say was the first to do sexy content in their music?

I think she said Grace Jones, who certainly had a provocative image.

Yes. Joy is off on Mondays and Ana is there in her seat. This schedule was announced before the new season started.

I am feeling too good today (celebrating/observing Diwali 🪔🪔🪔🪔), so will be deleting today’s episode.

[whydoiwatchtv]

Cruz was asked about abortion and access for all and he pivots to the economy and how bad everyone is hurting without answering the question. Also, ignoring how forcing people to give birth when they can barely afford food in “Biden’s economy” is a point that’s also always overlooked in discussions with republicans like Cruz.

I know! This is maddening to me. How can anyone say that having unplanned, unwanted pregnancies is not also relevent to the economy? Cruz and his ilk are gaslighting us and acting like nobody is worried about women losing their rights. I am fucking furious about it and I have stayed mad about this shit most of my life. Women-also known as human beings-have lost their right to bodily autonomy and are suffering because of his party and people like him. I was so glad those people were protesting in the audience. I thought Whoopi was okay with protesting--I guess just not when it inconvieniences her.

[27bored]

This episode was stupid. I'm really glad I'll never be on The View. I know if Ana said something slick to me my mouth would move like lightning. First of all, Ana, you ain't about that life. If Trump called you a fat, ugly ass bitch, I guarantee neither you nor your old ass husband are gonna do shit about it. You might get a few tweets off and that's it. Your husband is not about slide on Trump because he tried it. You're gonna sit your ass right there and deal with it. Hell, IIRC, Trump Jr. DID call you fat and you tweeted. So girl please. And don't talk down to that man about yelling...you're doing that because you know all of you were being hypocrites and he was reading y'all for filth. I hate whataboutism too, but then stop trying to play gotcha and we won't have to do all of that. 

And Whoopi continues to prove she's one of the dumbest women on TV. "I don't know anything about ANTIFA riots". Wooooow. 

[maggiemae]

I was sorry they had Cruz on because he is such a hypocrite...dismissing Trump's comments about his father and calling his wife ugly is awful. OTOH they should welcome all guests. If Cruz had not been a motor mouth perhaps they could have promoted his book.

I loved Ana told him to stop yelling because she was sitting so close to him. But Ana did apologize to him she was sorry (the hecklers) happened.

Oh, and Alyssa sure did not want to burn any bridges.

And sure, Cruz...Antifa is prevalent....except not really. Now chat about 1/6 and  the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys. 

Cruz is a deflector.

Cruz is a deflector.

Also, I wish someone would’ve said that Trump didn’t actually call his wife ugly. In a weird way, by saying that, the person bringing it up is actually the one calling her ugly. 
 

Melania was being slut shamed for some of her past modeling photos and Trump, for some reason, threatened to spill the beans about Heidi Cruz. IDK. So then he retweeted a meme of a bad photo of Heidi and one of Melania’s modeling photos that said a picture is worth a thousand words. I remember when that happened and I got the impression that he was agreeing his wife is hotter than Ted’s wife. Still childish and kind of a low blow, but it’s not like he got on Twitter and said, “Vote for me and not Ted Cruz because he’s got an ugly ass wife!” 
 

And like I said, Ana talked a little crazy to him for me. This is a grown man not a child. Everybody was talking over one another. She just didn’t like what he was saying. Whoopi raises her voice every fucking episode and I don’t see her being all huffy about it.

Guess we're lucky Jeffery Dahmer didn't have a book to sell before he passed...Or maybe that Mein Kampf guy.

Total mistake, I apologize

[Gravity Check]

I had to skip Senator Cruz.

I knew what he was going to say, and I knew it would make me mad.

So the ol' fast-forward for Rafael.

I did enjoy the rest of the show.

That's what I don't get.  I am assuming the only reason he went on the show was to promote his book - I'm sure he wasn't expecting protesters but he must have known he wasn't going to be among friends - but his book barely got a mention from him.

[TheGreenKnight]

Whoopi gave Alyssa a good smackdown at the end of the first segment, pointing out that her last employer didn't know what he was doing to the tune of around a million deaths, so who is she to talk.  She's disgusting, but no surprise there.

And I agreed with Joy about DeSantis' lack of charisma and how, on a debate stage of 7-10 candidates, he's going to get lost in the shuffle like the rest of them amid the circus act.

[Haleth]

I can’t believe Alyssa is so adamant that kids would have been better off in school. I said it before Whoopi did - at least they’re alive!

[ForumLou]

I forgot to add yesterday that i really liked Whoopi's suit outfit.  She looked good.

[GiveMeSpace]

Note to Sarah: Girl, that bun is not working for you.

They ladies mentioned the reception he got at Mets game, so I doubt he was surprised by the reception he got.   But yall right, I have no clue what his book was about.   He tried to answer someone's question with he's explained it in the book.    But good authors know how to tease enough to convince a few to actually read it.   He just used "It's in the book" to deflect from answering the question on air

[Prairie Rose]

Did the audience members get a free copy of the book? If so, I suspect that those books are now being used as free kitty litter. 😁

[Haleth]

Yes they did.

Finally, total clarity from Whoops:  commenting on the dad who recommended birth control, “ he doesn’t want to support you, should ‘something’ come up.”  For once we are confident she knows whereof she speaks - states it plainly!

[TheGreenKnight]

I'm glad Whoopi brought the first discussion back to the statistics in the first segment. I was ready for Sunny to slice and dice Alyssa when she tried to overtalk her, but Sunny's handling her better lately. She just kept giving her points regardless of what Alyssa said.

Sort of a meh show today though.

I know Whoopi considers herself to be The View's All Knowing Seer, but my crystal ball provides other information:

• Josephine Baker June 3, 1906
• Eartha Kitt January 17, 1927
• To mention only two...

(Grace Jones was born in May 1948)

And apparently Whoopi has never heard of Donna Summer and her infamous orgasmic song Love to Love You Baby (1975), which predates anything Grace Jones put out.
