<p>Whoopi Goldberg launched into a tirade against President Donald Trump on Tuesday, complaining that his recently-announced tariff on films made outside the United States amounted to an attempt to control the kind of movies that could be made.</p>
<p>Goldberg and her cohosts mocked Trump&#8217;s latest tariff announcement — a 100% tariff on movies made outside the United States — and kicked off the conversation by saying that Trump should deal with the egg prices (which have come down considerably since they peaked in March) before he worries about Hollywood.</p>
<p>&#8220;Okay, look,&#8221; Goldberg began. &#8220;You can&#8217;t do that because what that equates to is you&#8217;re going to tell me how to write the story I want to write if it happens in Europe, you&#8217;re telling me that if my book comes out and I want to write it, you&#8217;re telling me how to write it. You&#8217;re telling me you&#8217;re going to charge me for that.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;What – you know, I — could you, look, ughhhhhh. Could you please lower the price of eggs before you start this?!&#8221; she continued.</p>

Sara Haines notes that Trump&#8217;s tariff threat has already caused California to want to increase incentives to film there.<br />
Whoopi continued to rage: &#8220;[I]f you… <a href="https://t.co/UGP6c2jMUE">pic.twitter.com/UGP6c2jMUE</a></p>

<p>Cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin noted that some states were already competing to bring in filmmakers, noting that Georgia had effectively become &#8220;the Hollywood of the southeast because they make it cheaper to make movies there.&#8221; She then pivoted to mock the idea anyway, asking whether &#8220;Emily in Paris&#8221; would be remade as &#8220;Emily in Paris, Texas&#8221; — &#8220;or like &#8216;White Lotus: Mar-a-Lago Edition.&#8217; Movies will be very limited if you can only shoot here.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sara Haines noted that Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) had already moved to increase incentives for filmmakers to practice their craft in California, arguing that Trump&#8217;s plan could potentially bring about a positive outcome.</p>
<p>Goldberg pushed back, arguing that it would ultimately hurt movies if the tariff remained in place. &#8220;You can&#8217;t shoot &#8216;Gladiator&#8217; without going to Rome!&#8221;</p>
