The topic chosen for this special monolog was the meaning behind the words used in the Pledge of Allegiance. The host of the show recalls a time when he was a boy in school and one of his teachers gave him a sobering lesson he would never forget.Red recalls how his teacher was disappointed that the pledge was being repeated monotonously. He wanted the children to truly understand what they were saying. It is clear that his teacher’s words made a deep impression on him since he is able to recite that speech word for word today, many years later.
A fiery debate on ABC’s “The View” was fueled by a viral video of Miranda Lambert scolding fans for taking selfies during her Las Vegas concert. Co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Whoopi Goldberg clashed over the incident. Sunny defended concertgoers’ right to take selfies, saying, “If I paid $757 for tickets, I’m going to take as many selfies as I want.” In response, Whoopi emphasized the need for respect, stating, “Give me the respect of watching me while I do my thing, or don’t come.”
The controversy began when Lambert interrupted her concert, expressing frustration with selfie-taking fans. Whoopi, supporting the singer, abruptly left her seat, telling Sunny, “Turn on the television, girl.” The unexpected twist, where Whoopi took a selfie with an audience member, added humor to the debate, leading to laughter and a commercial break.
Despite backlash, some fans defended Lambert. One attendee, Lindsey, shared firsthand experience, saying, “Team @mirandalambert she owes no one an apology. Saw it all first hand.”
