<p>During the latest broadcast of the ABC midday talk show &#8220;The View,&#8221; Goldberg argued that it would be &#8220;more patriotic&#8221; to address issues like &#8220;police violence&#8221; — and Hostin claimed that the pledge itself did not even &#8220;apply to a lot of our citizens.&#8221;</p>

<p>Goldberg weighed in first, saying, &#8220;This is the Judiciary Committee, right, so wouldn&#8217;t it be a better show of patriotism to be working on issues like police violence, mass shootings, prison reform?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You know, people, I don&#8217;t know what it&#8217;s gonna take for them to recognize that people don&#8217;t — they&#8217;re not — we&#8217;re not fooling around, and people in the United States are not fooling around,&#8221; Goldberg continued. &#8220;You wasted everybody&#8217;s time suggesting your people do what they already do. What is this waste of time?&#8221;</p>
<p>She went on to preemptively attack Fox News, claiming that instead of &#8220;doing their job,&#8221; they would probably attack her for doing hers: giving her opinion. She argued that is what is great about America — the fact that each person could still freely give an opinion and it didn&#8217;t matter whether anyone else liked it.</p>
<p>Hostin jumped in next, claiming that her problem with the whole situation was the &#8220;hypocrisy&#8221; of it all – and then cited an African American history course she took in college that disabused her of the belief in &#8220;American exceptionalism.&#8221;</p>

<p>Claiming that the Pledge of Allegiance &#8220;doesn&#8217;t apply to a lot of our citizens,&#8221; Hostin complained that America also &#8220;hasn&#8217;t met the dream of being exceptional. It hasn&#8217;t meant this dream of being a beacon on the hill.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hostin went on to note that the Supreme Court had ruled that people could not be forced to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, but said that wasn&#8217;t enough for her. Instead, she argued that schools should stop teaching the idea of American exceptionalism until the country had &#8220;met the promise&#8221; of what it could be.</p>
<p>Goldberg jumped back in then, complaining that America was supposed to be a place where people could &#8220;call out&#8221; the &#8220;isms&#8221; instead of allowing things like racism to persist — and claiming that people were becoming less free to do that.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/megyn-kelly" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Megyn Kelly</a> blasted Whoopi Goldberg following &#8220;The View&#8221; host wondering if things wouldn&#8217;t change with police brutality until white people get beaten by police.</p>
<p>During Sirius XM’s “The Megyn Kelly Show&#8221; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWGhk8YSH3g" target="_blank" rel="noopener">podcast</a> on Wednesday, the host was speaking with conservative commentators Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson, and slammed <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/whoopi-goldberg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Goldberg</a> as &#8220;dumb&#8221; for her response to the death of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cops-charged-with-murder-of-tyre-nichols-hired-after-job-requirements-lowered-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tyre Nichols</a> at the hands of five Memphis police officers.</p>
<p>&#8220;The media coverage of this case has gone away awfully quickly,&#8221; Kelly explained. &#8220;There is nothing close to what we saw after George Floyd, even though the beating was even more brutal. … You&#8217;d think there&#8217;d be outrage that would be ongoing, but no, because it doesn&#8217;t have the very sexy race angle that the Left loves to play out and put on loop.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;But that hasn&#8217;t stopped people like Whoopi Goldberg &#8230; from making a typically inane comment about this case and our country…&#8221; she added, as she played the clip of the &#8220;Sister Act&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/whoopi-goldberg-wonders-if-anything-will-change-unless-police-beat-white-people" target="_blank" rel="noopener">star</a> talking about &#8220;white people&#8221; getting beaten by cops.</p>
<p>&#8220;Clearly, it doesn&#8217;t matter if it&#8217;s a white policeman or a black policeman, it is a problem in the policing itself,” Goldberg shared on the show. &#8220;Seems things don&#8217;t seem to make sense to people unless it&#8217;s somebody they can feel, or they can recognize. Do we need to see white people also get beaten before anybody will do anything? I&#8217;m not suggesting that, so don&#8217;t write us and tell me what a — you know, what a racist I am.&#8221;</p>

That’s your problem.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re uninformed just like the rest of your colleagues on your set,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Whites have a much higher chance of being killed by cops than blacks do. Those are the facts. … The fact that she doesn&#8217;t know that is a result of the fact that she actually doesn&#8217;t either care to go find the facts, or she just consumes the wrong media.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Because the media she&#8217;s watching never shows those cases or highlights facts. … So she&#8217;s got her head in the &#8230; I&#8217;ll say the clouds…&#8221; the former Fox News host continued.</p>

“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” New York Special Screening – Red Carpet

Whoopi Goldberg Wonders If Anything Will Change Unless Police Beat White People

<p>&#8220;The View&#8221; devolved into a shouting match on Thursday as the co-hosts debated red flag laws — whether or not they were a good idea and whether or not they were effective.</p>
<p>The conversation came about as a response to a shooting that took place when a <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/virginia-school-official-aware-that-6-year-old-may-have-been-armed-before-was-teacher-shot-superintendent-says/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">six-year-old</a> student brought a gun to school and shot his teacher — despite <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/paralyzed-by-apathy-school-officials-were-warned-about-gun-3-times-before-6-year-old-shot-teacher-lawyer-says/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">multiple warnings</a> that the school administrators had reportedly failed to act upon.</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Joy Behar began the conversation by attacking legal gun owners and anyone who did not agree with her conclusion that guns were the problem.</p>
<p>&#8220;The beauty of this story is that the right wing of this country would have us believe that it has nothing to do with the guns and that the solution to these type of shootings is to arm the teachers,&#8221; she said. &#8220;So, now, the teacher has a gun — was she supposed to shoot the kid? What would have happened if she had a gun? Who was she supposed to shoot?&#8221;</p>
<p>Behar then pivoted, saying that some might argue that shootings could be stopped by &#8220;good guys with guns,&#8221; noting that there had been <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/egregious-poor-decision-making-nearly-400-cops-gathered-at-uvalde-school-before-anyone-did-anything/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">police present in Uvalde</a> who had not entered the school during the shooting there.</p>
<p>&#8220;This country needs to grow up!&#8221; she exclaimed, suggesting that the United States was not &#8220;civilized&#8221; because stronger gun control laws had not yet been implemented.</p>
<p>Co-host Sunny Hostin jumped in then, claiming that the others at the table had previously &#8220;skewered&#8221; her for asserting that red flag laws were &#8220;not enough&#8221; to handle the issue.</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a red flag law in Virginia,&#8221; she pointed out.</p>
<p>&#8220;I support red flag laws,&#8221; Republican co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin remarked.</p>
<p>&#8220;But they don&#8217;t work!&#8221; Hostin&#8217;s voice rose. &#8220;It didn&#8217;t work!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re not being —&#8221; Sara Haines interrupted as everyone began talking at once. &#8220;Excuse me. They&#8217;re not being implemented properly —&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And that&#8217;s what I said,&#8221; Hostin pushed back.</p>
<p>&#8220;It doesn&#8217;t mean you give up —&#8221; Haines tried again, repeating, &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t mean you give up —&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;But they knew!&#8221; Goldberg shouted over the crosstalk, trying to get the segment back under control.</p>

<p>But during Wednesday&#8217;s broadcast, the hosts seemed amused and even relieved to hear the news claiming that the reports took some of the sting out of the still-unfolding scandal surrounding President Joe Biden and the multiple classified documents found at his home, in his garage, and at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C.</p>

<p>Whoopi Goldberg opened the conversation, asking with a laugh whether every former president and vice president should be checking their offices and libraries just to be sure they hadn&#8217;t taken anything they shouldn&#8217;t have.</p>
<p>Sunny Hostin was the first to give Pence a pass, arguing that in all of the chaos after the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill, the vice president may have panicked and packed in a hurry.</p>
<p>&#8220;I feel like now every president and vice president is a suspect,&#8221; she said, adding in mocking tones, &#8220;Are the documents in the conservatory with the wrench?&#8221;</p>
<p>Griffin agreed, explaining that Pence had always been extremely careful when she worked for him — even to the point of doing briefings in the Situation Room just in case anything classified might come up.</p>
<p>She went on to say that she believed the chaos of the transition — and a possible staffer error — was likely the reason classified material had gotten into Pence&#8217;s home.</p>
<p>&#8220;So should we be concerned about you? Do you have boxes?&#8221; Goldberg asked Griffin then, getting a laugh.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joy-behar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joy Behar</a> appeared to suggest on Thursday that classified documents found at President Joe Biden’s think tank, his home, and even his garage may have been planted, expressing skepticism that they would mysteriously &#8220;appear&#8221; in time to draw attention away from a probe into former President Donald Trump&#8217;s own handling of secret documents.</p>
<p>Behar joined her co-hosts on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; to discuss the most recent reports of <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/biden-responds-to-classified-docs-found-at-his-home-were-in-a-locked-garage-as-well-as-my-corvette/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">classified documents</a> — apparently taken from the White House when Biden left the vice presidency — that were discovered first in Biden&#8217;s office at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, and then in both his home and his garage.</p>

<p>Behar worried that the sudden appearance of classified documents tied to Biden might jeopardize any case that was building against Trump, and she voiced her suspicions: &#8220;You know what I think? I’ve never seen a luckier person than Donald Trump. Just as we&#8217;re this close to getting him, somehow these documents appear!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Here&#8217;s the thing,&#8221; Alyssa Farah Griffin cut in. &#8220;Biden is wrong to have done this. He was in office for —&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s find out what this is first. Again, one of the things that gets me crazy is before we know, it&#8217;s already been spun a specific way,&#8221; Goldberg said again, asking how the documents could have been missing for all those years without anyone noticing that they were gone.</p>
<p>&#8220;Because to me, if you are missing classified information, I don&#8217;t mean to laugh, but in my house, if stuff is missing, I know it&#8217;s missing,&#8221; Goldberg said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Does it feel like oppo-research to you? Does it feel like the Republicans are behind it?&#8221; Sunny Hostin asked.</p>
<p>&#8220;It did originally,&#8221; Goldberg admitted, but she said that Biden&#8217;s response had led her to believe that it was more likely an accident.</p>

<p>O&#8217;Donnell, who sat at the table from 2006 to 2007, said in a video that she shared on both TikTok and Instagram that she did not want to risk breaking down and getting overly emotional in such a large group of people.</p>

Although, 93, man, who wouldn&#8217;t take that?&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;League of Their Own&#8221; actress went on to detail some of Walters&#8217; accomplishments as a journalist before turning to their more personal connection.</p>
<p>&#8220;What a long and eventful legendary life she had,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I was lucky enough to be in her orbit for a good many years and we saw a lot of Broadway shows together … May she rest in peace and may everyone remember just what barriers she broke down for women. She really did. She was the first and will always be remembered.&#8221;</p>
<p>O&#8217;Donnell confirmed that she had been invited to participate in the tribute — which included a number of current and former hosts like Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin, Lisa Ling, Sherri Shepherd, and Meredith Vieira (who joined the show by phone because she was not feeling well).</p>
<p>And although her publicist had initially stated that she had been traveling and unable to change her plans, O&#8217;Donnell suggested that there may have been another reason she preferred not to attend the event.</p>
<p>&#8220;You know, I didn&#8217;t want to be in a big group of people, and I don&#8217;t know, I was worried I would get upset and didn&#8217;t want to do that, so, there you go,&#8221; O&#8217;Donnell said — and a number of friends and fans were quick to support her decision.</p>
<p>Actress and friend Debi Mazar <a href="https://people.com/tv/rosie-odonnell-reveals-missed-the-view-tribute-barbara-walters/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that she preferred the idea of grieving privately, commenting on O&#8217;Donnell&#8217;s Instagram post, &#8220;Mourning is personal &amp; PRIVATE A display for PR purposes is kind of vulgar, in my opinion. Barbara ADORED you. Remember when she came backstage after your wonderful performance in The Vagina Monologues? She came just for you.&#8221;</p>

<p>Whoopi Goldberg had to apologize a second time for comments about the Holocaust when she appeared to repeat the same claims that got her suspended from ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; in February of 2022.</p>
<p>Goldberg provoked strong reactions when she claimed — during a discussion about the Holocaust-themed graphic novel &#8220;Maus&#8221; — that the Holocaust was &#8220;<a href="https://dailywire.com/news/sparks-fly-on-the-view-after-whoopi-goldberg-claims-the-holocaust-was-not-about-race/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">not about race</a>.&#8221; After Goldberg made several apologies, ABC eventually <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/breaking-effective-immediately-abc-suspends-whoopi-goldberg-over-wrong-and-hurtful-holocaust-comments/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspended her</a> from the show — but she raised eyebrows again when she revisited the topic during a December interview.</p>
<p>While doing a <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/whoopi-goldberg-doubles-down-on-holocaust-race-claim-that-got-her-suspended/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press tour</a> in London as one of the producers for the new movie &#8220;Till&#8221; — about Emmett Till, a 14-year-old black boy who was lynched in 1955 — Goldberg&#8217;s comments came up as part of a conversation about race, and she again suggested that she had reason to believe that the Jews were not a &#8220;race.&#8221;</p>
<p>The interviewer pushed back — as co-host Joy Behar had on &#8220;The View&#8221; — saying that the &#8220;Nazis saw Jews as a race.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Yes, but that’s the killer, isn’t it? The oppressor is telling you what you are. Why are you believing them?&#8221; Goldberg pushed back. &#8220;They’re Nazis. Why believe what they’re saying?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;My best friend said, &#8216;Not for nothing is there no box on the census for the Jewish race. So that leads me to believe that we’re probably not a race,’” she continued.</p>
<p>But a rep. for Goldberg put out a statement on Tuesday in response to the <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/celebrity/whoopi-goldberg-faces-backlash-repeating-false-holocaust-comments-rcna63321" target="_blank" rel="noopener">immediate backlash</a>, claiming that she had not meant to double down on her previous comments.</p>
<p>&#8220;Recently while doing press in London, I was asked about my comments from earlier this year. I tried to convey to the reporter what I had said and why, and attempted to recount that time. It was never my intention to appear as if I was doubling down on hurtful comments, especially after talking with and hearing people like rabbis and old and new friends weighing in,&#8221; Goldberg claimed.</p>
<p>Goldberg went on to claim that she was &#8220;still learning&#8221; and doing her best to listen to how people felt about the things she said.</p>
<p>&#8220;I believe that the Holocaust was about race, and I am still as sorry now as I was then that I upset, hurt and angered people,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;My sincere apologies again, especially to everyone who thought this was a fresh rehash of the subject. I promise it was not. In this time of rising antisemitism, I want to be very clear when I say that I always stood with the Jewish people and always will. My support for them has not wavered and never will.&#8221;</p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">The 67-year-old actress, whose second act has been as an $8 million-per-year politics and culture pundit on &#8220;The View,&#8221; <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/whoopi-goldberg-till-film-hollywood-race-cancel-culture-c5lgc656v" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told The Times of London</a> why she doesn’t believe Jews are part of a unique race and that just because Hitler himself said he killed them to create a “master race” doesn’t make it true. The latest comments came despite Goldberg serving a suspension and issuing an apology for the same claims less than a year ago.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">“Remember who they were killing first,” Goldberg told the newspaper. “They were not killing racial; they were killing physical. They were killing people they considered to be mentally defective. And then they made this decision.”</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">She also tried to clarify her claims about Semitic people not being a race, and used a gross metaphor to describe how her words were construed.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">“It doesn&#8217;t change the fact that you could not tell a Jew on a street,” Goldberg said. “You could find me. You couldn&#8217;t find them. That was the point I was making.&#8221;</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">“But you would have thought that I&#8217;d taken a big old stinky dump on the table, butt naked,” she said.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">In February, Goldberg sparked outrage when she said the Holocaust, in which six million Jews were killed, was not a racial matter but a case of “white-on-white violence.”</p>
<p>“Effective immediately, I am suspending Whoopi Goldberg for two weeks for her wrong and hurtful comments,&#8221; Kim Godwin, president of Disney-owned ABC, said in a Feb. 1 statement. &#8220;While Whoopi has apologized, I’ve asked her to take time to reflect and learn about the impact of her comments. The entire ABC News organization stands in solidarity with our Jewish colleagues, friends and communities.&#8221;</p>
<p>The network has so far not commented on Goldberg&#8217;s latest remarks.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Goldberg granted the latest interview to promote a new film she helped produce about civil rights martyr Emmett Till. In addition to potentially reigniting a feud with Jews, historians, and possibly her employer, Goldberg risked the ire of the transgender community. When asked about her recent claim that “men don’t have eggs,” which transgender activists took as a slight to biological women who think they are men, Goldberg held her ground.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">“They may have eggs, but they&#8217;re not getting pregnant, are they?” she said. “I think you have to do some fixing in order to get those eggs fertilized. But I do have questions because trans men, I was told, still have their prostates.”</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Goldberg started the Holocaust firestorm early last year when she and her co-hosts were discussing a Tennessee school board’s decision to pull the Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel “Maus. “</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">“Let&#8217;s be truthful about it: the Holocaust isn&#8217;t about race,” she said. “It&#8217;s not about race. It&#8217;s not about race. It&#8217;s not about race. It&#8217;s about man&#8217;s inhumanity to man. That&#8217;s what it&#8217;s about.&#8217;</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Although her co-hosts disputed the claim, Goldberg kept digging herself into a historical hole.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">“These are two white groups of people,” she continued. “You are missing the point. The minute you turn it into race, it goes down this alley. Let&#8217;s talk about it for what it is, it&#8217;s how people treat each other.”</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">After the network suspended her, she issued an apology in which she acknowledged that “The Holocaust was about the Nazi&#8217;s systematic annihilation of the Jewish people — who they deemed to be an inferior race. I stand corrected.” But she then proceeded to undermine the mea culpa in an interview the same day with leftist late-night television host Stephen Colbert.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">“When you talk about being a racist, you can&#8217;t call this racism,” Goldberg said. “This was evil. This wasn&#8217;t based on skin. You couldn&#8217;t tell who was Jewish. You had to delve deeply and figure it out. My point is: they had to do the work.&#8221;</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">“If the Klan is coming down the street and I&#8217;m standing with a Jewish friend,” she continued, “I&#8217;m going to run, but if my friend decides not to run, they&#8217;ll get passed by most times because you can&#8217;t tell who is Jewish. You don&#8217;t know.”</p>

Whoopi Goldberg Doubles Down On Holocaust ‘Race’ Claim That Got Her Suspended

Whoopi Goldberg Doubles Down On Holocaust 'Race' Claim That Got Her Suspended

Race

<p>&#8220;The View&#8221; co-host Whoopi Goldberg suggested that all of the Republicans who <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/breaking-dem-controlled-senate-passes-same-sex-marriage-bill-12-republicans-support/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">voted in favor</a> of the so-called <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dem-controlled-house-passes-same-sex-marriage-bill-39-republicans-support/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Respect for Marriage Act</a> may have done so at the stern behest of a friend — or &#8220;perhaps a lover.&#8221;</p>
<p>During Wednesday&#8217;s broadcast of the long-running ABC midday talk show, Goldberg and her co-hosts discussed the legislation — which President Joe Biden signed into law on Tuesday in a <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/biden-signs-same-sex-marriage-bill-drag-queens-invited-to-lavish-wh-ceremony/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lavish ceremony</a> that included drag queens, among others.</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Co-host <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/that-really-makes-me-nuts-joy-behar-ties-colorado-springs-shooting-to-lauren-boeberts-2021-christmas-photo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joy Behar</a> was first to address the topic, and she complained about the Republicans who had not voted to federally codify same-sex marriage. She asked whether those same people have also been opposed to interracial marriage, which was also federally protected under the new law.</p>
<p>&#8220;Does that mean that these Republicans who are against the gay marriage bill are also against interracial marriage?&#8221; she asked, and her co-hosts all began talking at once.</p>
<p>&#8220;No, it&#8217;s not that,&#8221; Republican co-host <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/thats-not-fairsuch-a-cheap-shot-the-view-blows-up-as-alyssa-farah-griffin-and-kellyanne-conway-clash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alyssa Farah Griffin</a> cut in, adding in exaggerated tones. &#8220;It&#8217;s the fear of like polyamory or, like, you&#8217;re going to marry a relative &#8230; I mean, I think.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;That must be the slippery slope. Bestiality? Is that what they&#8217;re thinking?&#8221; co-host Sunny Hostin asked, prompting loud laughter from the audience.</p>
<p>Griffin went on to argue that straight couples were more likely to damage traditional marriage than same-sex couples were, and Goldberg promptly agreed: &#8220;That&#8217;s the biggest threat.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Anytime somebody decides that they want to get married, celebrate them,&#8221; <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/let-me-explain-something-exasperated-whoopi-lectures-joni-ernst-says-iowa-is-too-white-to-lead-primaries/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Goldberg</a> insisted, going on to claim that putting rules on marriage was like &#8220;giving the finger&#8221; to same-sex couples who were already married.</p>
<p>&#8220;And I suspect many of these folks voted the way they did because somebody they know said, &#8216;If you don&#8217;t vote this way, I&#8217;ll never speak to you again,'&#8221; Goldberg concluded, apparently suggesting that some Republicans may have only voted in favor of the measure under duress. &#8220;Perhaps a lover? Maybe a friend.&#8221;</p>
<p>Across both legislative chambers, a total of 51 Republicans voted to pass the Respect for Marriage Act — 39 of them in the House of Representatives and 12 in the Senate.</p>

<p>Whoopi Goldberg shared that her will contains a bizarre clause that will prevent any future unauthorized biopics being made after her death.</p>
<p>During ABC&#8217;s talkshow &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WqW3s-aIk0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The View</a>&#8221; on Tuesday, the cohosts were discussing the &#8220;backlash&#8221; against Andrew Dominik&#8217;s movie &#8220;Blonde&#8221; as a &#8220;gratuitous exploitation&#8221; of the late-Marilyn Monroe.</p>
<p>Co-host Sunny Hostin then suggested people will be dying to make film&#8217;s about Goldberg after she passes away.</p>
<p>&#8220;It sounds macabre, but I was speaking to Whoopi, and I was saying that she&#8217;s such a famous person that when she passes away, people are going to make films,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sunny-hostin-denies-she-compared-white-women-to-roaches-for-voting-gop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hostin</a> shared on the show.</p>
<p>Her co-host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/whoopi-goldberg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Goldberg</a> then interjected and said that wouldn&#8217;t be happening and said she&#8217;s taken legal action to make sure it doesn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>&#8220;Actually they&#8217;re not,&#8221; the &#8220;Sister Act&#8221; star explained.  &#8220;They&#8217;re not going to make films, because in my will it says, &#8216;Unless you speak to my family, try it.&#8217; Okay, try it.&#8221;</p>

<p>The overall opinion on the show was that the movie — starring <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/actress-ana-de-armas-says-theres-no-need-for-a-female-bond-no-need-to-steal-someone-elses-character" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ana De Armas</a> as the iconic late Hollywood screen legend — was that the film was bad and unwatchable, mentioning that there were rape scenes with no &#8220;trigger warnings.&#8221;</p>
<p>De Armas previously spoke about the things she did in the movie and said she did it for Monroe, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-did-it-for-her-actress-ana-de-armas-says-she-did-things-in-blonde-she-would-have-never-done-for-anyone-else" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Knives Out&#8221; star talked about her portrayal of the screen legend’s short life, including depictions of sexual violence and degradation in the NC-17 film.</p>
<p>&#8220;I did things in this movie I would have never done for anyone else, ever,&#8221; Ana explained. &#8220;I did it for her [Marilyn], and I did it for Andrew [Dominik].&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re telling her story,&#8221; she added. &#8220;From her point of view. I&#8217;m making people feel what she felt. When we had to shoot these kinds of scenes, like the one with [President John F.] Kennedy, it was difficult for everybody. But at the same time, I knew I had to go there to find the truth.&#8221;</p>
<p>The scene mentioned included Kennedy, played by Caspar Phillipson, forcing her character to perform oral sex on him.</p>

Whoopi Goldberg's Will Contains Bizarre Clause About Future Biopics

<p>&#8220;The View&#8221; host <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/let-me-explain-something-exasperated-whoopi-lectures-joni-ernst-says-iowa-is-too-white-to-lead-primaries/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Whoopi Goldberg</a> referenced Jesus to defend President Joe Biden&#8217;s decision to not visit the border during a segment of Wednesday&#8217;s broadcast, complaining that all the good things Biden did were never enough for the people who just wanted to criticize him.</p>
<p><a href="https://dailywire.com/news/some-speech-is-not-okay-free-speech-whoopi-loses-it-over-elon-musk-vows-to-quit-twitter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Goldberg</a> made the comparison during a conversation about the president&#8217;s recent visit to Arizona and the subsequent complaints that he had failed to make an appearance at the U.S.-Mexico border — even as illegal border crossings continue to <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/texas-governor-greg-abbott-declares-invasion-on-southern-border/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">break records</a> and don&#8217;t appear to be slowing down.</p>

<p>Goldberg began with a clip of Biden telling a reporter — who asked why he wasn&#8217;t going to visit the actual border while in Arizona — that there were &#8220;<a href="https://dailywire.com/news/more-important-things-going-on-biden-spits-in-the-face-of-every-american-with-latest-excuse-for-not-visiting-border/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more important things</a>&#8221; going on than the unchecked influx of illegal immigrants.</p>
<p>Arguing that Republicans should just be happy that Biden was in the state to promote American jobs, Goldberg claimed that they &#8220;miss the point.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;Did the economy matter or not?&#8221; Sara Haines asked.</p>
<p>&#8220;It did matter, and we would have found out about what you just said AND he could have gone to the border just to shut them up,&#8221; Joy Behar said.</p>
<p>Griffin agreed, saying that even though it likely would have been just a photo op, it would have shown that Biden was not being dismissive of an issue that a lot of Americans were concerned about.</p>
<p>Co-host Sunny Hostin complained that it would have been &#8220;theater,&#8221; saying she didn&#8217;t need to see him at the border as long as he was working on more important things — but Behar pushed back and pointed out that sometimes just the optics were as important as anything that got accomplished.</p>
<p>&#8220;He could have gone,&#8221; Goldberg interrupted, clearly getting impatient with the direction of the conversation and directly comparing Biden to Jesus. &#8220;He can&#8217;t walk on all the water all the time.&#8221;</p>
<p>Haines rounded out the conversation by suggesting that if Biden had gone to the border, his critics would have just found some other question to shout at him and complain about later.</p>
