Quick Glance: Sunny Hostin's Controversial Statements on Eclipse and Earthquake Debunked by Co-Hosts
- Sunny Hostin, a lawyer, novelist, and co-host of 'The View', speculated on the connection between the solar eclipse, a New York earthquake, and the emergence of cicadas, hinting at climate change or something biblical.
- Her co-hosts Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg acted as real-time fact-checkers.
- Hostin shared an incident where a makeup artist on the show left the building during the earthquake, claiming that Jesus was coming.
- It was emphasized that earthquakes are not related to climate change, and solar eclipses are accurately predicted. Hostin's claims were corrected and discussed.

Quick Glance: Magnitude 4.8 Earthquake Rocks New York City and Northeast US
- An unusual East Coast earthquake startled millions from New York to rural New England. Over 42 million people may have felt the midmorning quake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.8.
- While causing no widespread damage, the earthquake led to evacuations in Newark, New Jersey, and infrastructure inspections across the region. Flights were diverted, trains slowed, and tunnel traffic stopped.
- Although no major damages were reported, the earthquake caused some disruptions. The area near the epicenter experienced minor effects, including the collapse of a historic site. There were also over a dozen aftershocks reported in the region.
- President Joe Biden offered assistance, while New York City reported no major safety or infrastructure issues. Engineers emphasized that New York skyscrapers are made of high-strength materials and designed to sway slowly to withstand impacts. Even the delicately placed eggs in a sculpture at a Chinatown art gallery remained unharmed during the quake.

Quick Glance: Exxon predicted climate change but denied it in four ways.
- 3. Exxon anticipated when the world will become aware of the implications of climate change.
- 4. The commissioned studies accurately predicted the amount of CO2 that would cause catastrophic climate change.
- Carbon dioxide levels have remained below 300 parts per million for the majority of human history.
- While the Paris Climate Agreement, which resolved to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius by 2050, did not set a limit on carbon dioxide parts per million, another United Nations report found that 450 parts per million would give humanity a 50% chance of staying below the Paris temperature threshold.

- The proposed measure, which includes $369 billion for new climate-friendly energy initiatives and more than $450 billion in new tax revenue, is only a portion of the $2.2 trillion package passed by House Democrats last November.
- J.), another Democrat from a high-tax state, has stated that he is willing to "fight like hell" to get a SALT provision in the bill.
- The bill's warm welcome from House Democrats throughout the caucus implies it will pass easily through the lower house, despite the Democrats' narrow majority and the probability that no Republicans will support it.
- "I feel hopeful," she remarked.
