\u201cThe View\u201d co-host Ana Navarro warned on Thursday that she didn\u2019t want the\u00a0show\u2019s upcoming interview\u00a0with Vice President JD Vance to become a \u201cfree-for-all\u201d just to sell books, which she argued happens with Republican guests.<\/p>\n
The show\u2019s producer, Brian Teta, asked Navarro to discuss the Vance interview during the\u00a0\u201cBehind the Table\u201d podcast<\/a>. Teta said people were surprised he was coming on the show.<\/p>\n \u201cIt shouldn\u2019t be surprising, he\u2019s got a book, right? And I think that everybody, including Republicans, know that at \u2018The View,\u2019 we are really good at selling books,\u201d she said. \u201cI think it\u2019s a very relevant time. I want to ask him questions about Epstein. I want to ask him questions where there are several issues where there\u2019s sunlight\u00a0between him and Donald Trump, right?\u201d<\/p>\n The co-host added, \u201cThe war, going into military action, all of these new wars. He seems to me to be a lot more tuned into the MAGA manosphere<\/a> than Trump is, actually, and really works those relationships far more than practically anybody else in the White House.\u201d<\/p>\n The show\u2019s producer, Brian Teta, and Ana Navarro discussing the upcoming Vance interview during the\u00a0\u201cBehind the Table\u201d podcast. Behind the Table<\/p>\n She continued, \u201cI hope we get to have a constructive conversation about the issues that Americans care about and are on Americans\u2019 minds and that it doesn\u2019t turn into some free-for-all for the sake of creating a moment for him so that he can go out and sell books, which is what often happens with Republicans.\u201d<\/p>\n Vance, who is set to join the show on June 16, will be the third sitting vice president and the first sitting Republican vice president to appear on \u201cThe View.\u201d<\/a> <\/p>\n All six\u00a0co-hosts, Whoopi Goldberg,\u00a0Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro, are expected to be in-studio for the rare interview with an elected Republican.<\/p>\n US Vice President JD Vance speaks with the media as he arrives at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, May 28, 2026. via REUTERS<\/p>\n \u201cThe View\u201d had a total of 341 guests in 2025, but only two of them were conservative, while 128 were liberal, according to a study conducted by the\u00a0Media Research Center\u2019s NewsBusters<\/a>.<\/p>\n In 2026, the show had multiple Republican guest hosts appear while Griffin, the Republican co-host, was on maternity leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n Alina Habba also appeared\u00a0on the liberal talk show in late April.
