Heated feud erupts on The View as Sunny Hostin clashes with Alyssa Farah over 'trickle-down economics'

Manchin and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) revealed the new reconciliation package would include a few of President Joe Biden's policy initiatives.

The co-hosts of "The View" were somewhat dumbstruck after watching a video of Republican senate candidate Herschel Walker claiming pollution has to move over from China to the United States and that China somehow steals America's "good air."

"The View's" Sunny Hostin is fearful that the bill the U.S. Senators agreed on to better regulate guns will be challenged in court after the U.S. Supreme Court voted down a New York law that has been in place for over 100 years.

The way that the decision was written by Justice Clarence Thomas led Hostin to believe that it ultimately expands the Second Amendment and will eliminate regulations across the country.
