Starting point is 00:00:00 Whoopi Goldberg really just jumped the shark. I'm using a happy days expression. It was when Fonzie, you knew that the episodes were basically coming to an end and the series was really ending when he did that move on the motorcycle, you know, jump in the shark. So it's become a common expression as a result of that. But this was really kind of unbelievable because she is trying to suggest that things are so bad here in the United States.
Starting point is 00:00:22 My gosh, she'd rather live over there in the Middle East where women have literally no rights and have to wear a burqa. You saw the woman doing the news the other day. that situation. By the way, full-on burqa, right? Because, well, I guess no man is allowed to look at your wife, whatever. I mean, it gets me mad. I remember taking an international relations class
Starting point is 00:00:44 at Columbia years ago, and actually, there was talk even back then. This was probably in 1999 of what Osama bin Laden, et cetera, were capable of doing, and it was actually really alarming. and I remember being quite nervous at the time because I did live in New York City. It's neither here nor there, but one of the things that always has bothered me, and I say this, dare I say the word feminist? I consider myself a feminist.
Starting point is 00:01:11 The left is completely taken over that term in a really manipulative, bad, political sort of way because it means something different than I think it should. It means that you care about equality for women and you value women, and you know I do, as a woman, and by the way, as the mother of daughters. So there are things that culturally, you know, they say, oh, it's just their way of life. I'm sorry. Like, if you don't value women, then I'm just never going to get there.
Starting point is 00:01:42 I'm just not. But Whoopi sees it very differently, incredibly differently. Let's go to the sound that is making the round. People are just stunned by. At this moment, ladies and gentlemen, people are now calling for Whoopi Goldberg to leave the show for good. We'll see if she gets put on, you know, suspension or something that's happened before when Terry Moran actually wound up losing his job for some of his comments. But this is just wacky stuff.
Starting point is 00:02:06 It's not even like she's taking a minute to president here. She's kind of just off and left field and acting really like incoherent. Let's play the tape. It is not even the same. I couldn't step forward. Oh, no. That's not what you mean to say. It is the same.
Starting point is 00:02:22 No, it's not. The year 2025 in the United States is nothing like. If I stepped foot wearing this outfit in Tehranan- I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I can't have my hair showing. I can't wear a skirt. I can't have my arms out.
Starting point is 00:02:34 I'm telling you as a judge. I literally said it was up to the Iranian people. Yes, it is up to them. And that's why I am saying that it is the same. So that's why I said you weren't saying what you, what I heard was not what you meant. I think it's very different to live in the United States in 2025. than it is to live in Iran.
Starting point is 00:02:56 Not if you're black. Not for everybody. Not if you're black. Guys, don't go to Tehran. Do not anyone at the table. Listen, let me tell you about being in this country. This is the greatest country in the world. But yeah, I know that.
Starting point is 00:03:09 I know that. And we all know that. But every day we are worried. Do we have to be worried about our kids? They are not big deals. And I don't mean to say they're not big deals to you. Because that's not what I meant. And they are not doing well there either.
Starting point is 00:03:24 They are not doing well in Iran. They are not educated. They're not talking about the United States. I'm talking about here. Nobody wants to diminish the very real problems we have in this country. That is no one's intent. But I think it's important. We remember there are places much darker than this country and people who deserve rights.
Starting point is 00:03:41 But not everybody feels that way. Not everybody feels that way. Listen, I'm sorry. You know, when you think about the fact that we got the vote in 1965. Okay. They don't have free and fair. elections in Iran. It's not even the same universe. They can't go out of their house. You know what? There's no, there's no way that can make you understand.
Starting point is 00:04:03 Let me try something. It's like, it's like, try to reverse roles with a, with a black person in this country, let's say, because I think that's what you're talking about. Yes. Just try to understand from their point of view, from that point of view, this country does not do them well, does not go through them. I completely. And we shouldn't compare atrocities. If you're talking about Iran, Iran, of course, is doing worse things. But Relatively speaking, it feels bad. Okay, I think you know that Iran is significantly. I guess we're going to come back and talk about this.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Okay, like, wow. I mean, poor girl, Alyssa, I mean, to sit there and have to deal with that, I mean, you start to say are all the wires connected in the head at that point? Because her logic just isn't there. I'm sorry. Like, yeah, I mean, no one's diminished. Look, this country's not perfect. I've said that many, many times,
Starting point is 00:04:59 and we still have our challenges, and we have to do our best to address those issues. But we're not Iran, okay? Like, that's a whole other can of discrimination, et cetera. And it's unbelievable to me, right? She's sitting there saying that. It just shows so much ignorance in my estimation, which is why, you know what, I'm wondering how much of this has to do with, let's find a new storyline,
Starting point is 00:05:28 let's find something else to talk about because the boss says we can't talk politics anymore. So now they're getting into this really weird territory where I guess they have to have some kind of disagreement and maybe this is Whoopie's way of doing that. Again, I'm trying to justify this because I can't imagine saying what she actually said and believing that. Like Alyssa is saying, you know what? Joy, you don't really believe this, right? I mean, do you really think that living in the U.S. is worse than living in Iran today? I mean, that is a wild, wild statement.
Starting point is 00:06:02 But they're desperate for ratings, and they're trying to do something other than Trump because the boss said, you know what? The boss said, hey, you can't keep going negative on him. In fact, I'm wondering if the boss is the one that brought on one Arnold Schwarzenegger this week. because Arnold was there and, you know, he achieved the impossible. He actually stunned these women into silence. We've seen it, but you know what? We're going to watch it again.
Starting point is 00:06:34 This is very good. I love seeing sort of the expression on their faces. Joy is like, but, but, but, but, but, but. And Arnold is like, no, here's the deal. You're a guest in the country. He starts out nice and then watch the turn. So, if you are an immigrant, you're an immigrant in his country. Yeah. Did you have a visceral reaction to what they're doing what ISIS is doing when you see the videos of it?
Starting point is 00:06:59 Well, I tell you, I mean, you said that the immigrant, I'm so proud and happy that I was embraced by the American people like that. I mean, imagine they came over here with the age of 21 with absolutely nothing and then to create a career like that. I mean, in no way. other country in the world could you do that? Every single thing, if it's my bodybuilding career, if it's my acting career, becoming governor,
Starting point is 00:07:32 the beautiful family that have created, all of this is because of America. That's true. And so this is why I'm so happy to see firsthand that this is the greatest country in the world and this is the land of opportunities.
Starting point is 00:07:50 And that is, really important. Because I'm such a proud American and the proud immigrant became to America, I was asked to do on July 4th. Not here. I'm going to fast forward on a little bit, okay, because I want to get to the good part. You know, you know me. It's great. So it's really a great celebration. This is what this is all about, is to celebrate people becoming Americans and coming to America and all that.
Starting point is 00:08:14 And so I just think the world of the great kind of history that we have with immigrants in America. but the key thing also is at the same time that we got to do things legal that is the important thing you know so you got to do things legal and those people that are doing illegal things in America and they're the foreigners they are not
Starting point is 00:08:34 smart because when you come to America you're a guest and you have to behave like a guest like when I go to someone's house and I'm a guest then they will do everything I can keep things clean
Starting point is 00:08:50 and to make my bed and to do everything that is the right thing to do rather than committing a crime or being abusive or something like that. So that doesn't really work in this country. So I think the important thing is when you become an immigrant to think about, okay, I go to America because I want to use America for the great opportunities that America has, in education, in jobs, creating a family, all of those kind of things. Then you have to think about, okay, if I get all of those things from America,
Starting point is 00:09:19 then I have to give something back. You have a responsibility as an immigrant to give back to America and to pay back to America and to go and do something for your community for no money whatsoever. Give something back to after school program. Special Olympics or whatever it is.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Make this part of the benefit. Oh my gosh. I saw that. You guys are commenting and you're like, oh, look at her. She's trying to interrupt. She's like, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, yeah, here's the deal. And we talked about this yesterday. I couldn't remember the word. I was like salad or, and I kept saying soup, I meant melting pot.
Starting point is 00:09:55 It was my own Joe Biden moment. Anyway, it's the truth, right? Are we a salad or we a melting pot? Our beauty, our strength as a nation is that we are a melting pot because we take the best of everything and we make it ours. We make it uniquely American. And so that means accepting that you are American, speaking English, adopting customs and cultures that are uniquely ours while bringing some of your specialness in, right?
Starting point is 00:10:23 Like, it's all one. But when you're the salad model and you got people trying to divide, divide, divide, like one, Jasmine Crockett, for goodness sakes, then what chance do we have, really, as a country? I ask you, what chance do we have? If everybody's out for themselves, I mean, they're trying to do the divide with the gender, they're trying to do the divide with the race, they're trying to do the divide with the young versus the old. And I'm sorry, at the end of the day, we are all Americans. American, remember that. Okay, we're coming up on Fourth of July. You know, I'm going to have to start singing again.
Starting point is 00:10:54 Did you see Donald Trump in the flag polls? He's putting a couple flagpoles up at the White House. He'd always said, you know, why don't we have flagpoles in the ground? We're going to have the two biggest flagpoles. So he's all about patriotism and recognizing the strength and greatness of this country. And you come here, you want to be part of it, right? Just as Arnold Schwarzenegger just said. So we commend him. We commend him for that. reminder, guys, go check out 76 Research, get the Father's Day Pick. I want you to have that.
