Let’s rewind to this week’s episode of The View, where Hillary Clinton made a guest appearance. She wasn’t just there to talk politics or reminisce about her time in the White House—she was there to promote her brand-new book. But before the interview wrapped up, Whoopi Goldberg threw her an unexpected curveball: a job offer. Yes, you read that right—a job offer!
Hillary Clinton Visits The View to Discuss Her New Book
On Thursday, September 19, the former Secretary of State stepped onto the set of The View to discuss her latest literary endeavor, Something Lost, Something Gained: Reflections on Life, Love, and Liberty. This deeply personal book dives into the highs and lows of Hillary’s life, both public and private, offering readers a glimpse into the complexities of her journey.
As she sat down with the hosts, it was clear that Hillary was ready to share more than just soundbites. Her book isn’t just about her political career—it’s a reflection on love, relationships, and the personal growth that comes with navigating life’s challenges. Fans of her work and those curious about her perspective will find plenty to chew on in these pages.

Whoopi Goldberg’s Surprising Job Offer
Whoopi Goldberg, the ever-charismatic EGOT winner, couldn’t help but express her excitement at having Hillary on the show. As the conversation drew to a close, Whoopi leaned in with a playful grin and said, “You sure you don’t want a gig? Like a part-time gig, because…”
Hillary, known for her sharp wit, chuckled at the unexpected proposal. She’s been married to Bill Clinton since 1975, so perhaps a change of pace sounds appealing. Whoopi’s offer wasn’t just a joke—it was a genuine acknowledgment of Hillary’s ability to engage audiences and share her wisdom.
Whoopi continued, “Listen, we thank you for always coming to the table. It’s always a pleasure and an honor, and we didn’t even talk about your husband.” But don’t worry—Hillary quickly reminded everyone that Bill does make an appearance in her book. “But I do! I talk about him in the book,” she quipped.
A Life Under the Spotlight: Reflections on Love and Loss
Hillary’s life has been under the microscope for decades, but in her new book, she takes control of the narrative. She reflects on the “highs and lows” of her life and career, drawing parallels between her experiences and the iconic Joni Mitchell song “Both Sides Now.” This song, which Mitchell performed at the Grammy Awards earlier this year, resonated deeply with Hillary.
“Personally and professionally, I’ve come through so many highs and lows, times when I felt on top of the world and others when I was in a deep, dark hole,” Hillary wrote. “After all these years, I really have looked at life and love ‘from both sides now.’ How do you tally up and reckon with the losses and gains of a life? Or of a nation and a world? These are questions with often incomplete, unsatisfying, or missing answers.”
Grandmotherhood: A Role That Truly Delights
While Hillary’s book delves into her professional and personal life, it also celebrates one of her favorite roles—being a grandmother. She writes that being a grandparent “truly is the one experience of life that is not overrated.” And who could argue with that?

Since her first grandchild, Charlotte, was born in 2014, Hillary has embraced this new chapter with open arms. She once expressed her desire to be for her grandchildren what her own mother was for hers: challenging, emotionally supportive, and a source of encouragement.
“I want to be—for my grandchild, it’s a little presumptuous—I want to be for my grandchild what my mother was for her grandchildren,” Hillary said. “She was challenging, she was emotionally supportive, but she also was clear in setting expectations. Like, ‘I think you can do that’ or ‘Why are you worried you can’t do that?’ or ‘I thought you did really well, you tried hard.’”
Spending time with Charlotte, Aidan, and Jasper brings “new joys every day” for the proud grandma. Her daughter, Chelsea, echoed this sentiment, saying, “It’s really sweet how my mom is just so clearly happy being a grandma and I know she’s going to be a great grandma, whatever other choices she makes in her life.”
