'I can only shake my head': Whoopi Goldberg leaves Brett Favre speechless after saying women should compete against men



Hall of Fame NFL quarterback Brett Favre was left dumbfounded after hearing actress Whoopi Goldberg justify why men should play in women's sports.

Goldberg was speaking to transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, a male who portrays himself as a female caricature, when she referenced California Governor Gavin Newsom's (D) recent comments surrounding men playing in women's sports.

Goldberg explained that Newsom described men competing against women as "deeply unfair," which the 69-year-old actress took offense to.

"When you come in and you say, 'Oh, these men are — these are men competing against women.' You're assuming that the women are weak and just can't do anything [in sports]," Goldberg said on "The View."

After Fox News host Will Cain showed Favre the soundbite, the former quarterback was nearly unable to get any words out.

"There's nothing I can say that's going to change her mind — I can only shake my head at this," Favre said about Goldberg. "It's common sense at its best. Oh well, what can I say? Speechless."

After Cain revealed a New York Times/Ipsos poll that had 79% of respondents say men should not be in women's sports, Favre quickly agreed.

"Yeah. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure that out."

'It's the same problem that women face.'

Goldberg added some strange sentiments during her discussion about transgenderism, including a claim that the general public does not know how the bodies of transgender people work.

"I think part of the problem that the trans community is facing, and it's the same problem that women face, is if you don't know anything about our bodies, you don't know how it works."

At the same time, Goldberg attempted to pull Mulvaney into the conversation, but the activist quickly admitted he has never been an athlete.

"The last time I played a sport, I was 6 years old, and I was on a soccer team, but I assigned myself as the nurse," Mulvaney joked, attempting to imitate feminine behavior.

In addition to referring to himself as a "baby trans" because he has only believed himself to be female for three years, the activist said he typically defers to a female-to-male transgender athlete, and personal friend, for "guidance" on the matter.

Goldberg went on to say that since "God doesn't make mistakes," it was the responsibility of the general public to treat transgender people with respect.

‘The View’ hosts mock Elon Musk’s toddler



Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency have upset many on the left, to the point of relentless attacks on Musk — but not all of them have stooped as low as the women of "The View."

While the hosts of the show have a history of being tone-deaf, they took it a step farther for a moment to disparage Elon Musk’s son, X Æ A-Xii, and make fun of the toddler’s name rather than discuss what they actually disagree with Musk on regarding government audits.

“So yesterday Elon Musk took his son, X Æ A-Xii, to a press conference. I did not name the child, and I don’t want to hear anyone mess about our names,” Whoopi Goldberg said.


“He just took little X Æ A-Xii with him to a press conference in the Oval Office to defend himself against critics who say he should not have the power to gut the federal agency,” she added.

While Whoopi asked the audience not to comment on her name, Keith Malinak of “Pat Gray Unleashed” can’t help but do so anyway.

“Her name is Whoopi, I’d like to point out,” Malinak says. “I thought kids were off-limits.”

“Is that not the case any more?” he asks.

“Not with them,” Pat Gray answers. “Not with the coven.”

Joy Behar roasted for saying Karoline Leavitt got WH press secretary job 'because according to Donald Trump she's a 10'



Left-wing co-host of "The View" Joy Behar — rarely one to put the brakes on her mouth — is getting bludgeoned on social media after saying Karoline Leavitt got the nod for White House press secretary "because according to Donald Trump she's a 10."

Behar made the remark on Wednesday's program. You can check out a short clip of her mouth moving here.

Observers on X blasted Behar for her comment. Here are but a few of the reactions:

  • "Seems kinda sexist, 'Joy,'" one commenter said.
  • "Looks like someone is jelly of her hotness!" another user said. "Did Joy not listen to Karoline speak?! She speaks with authority! She kicked a$ up there at the podium!"
  • "No, because she is qualified, tough, and has a brain!" another commenter said. "Unlike Behar!"
  • "The comparison could not be more stark," another user said. "It's shocking that Joy Behar has a job."
  • "Good Lord, is that the best she’s got? Karoline was brilliant yesterday!" another commenter said.
  • "Another TDS female trashing other females ... shocker," another user said.
  • Then the truth bomb: "It’s not her fault. Republicans are just hotter."

What preceded Behar's remark?

Prior to Behar's remark, fellow left-wing co-host Whoopi Goldberg kicked things off: “I would like this young lady who — this is her first job — I would like her to do a little homework because she said something yesterday that really pissed me off ... she said, ‘There will be no wokeness here.’"

Goldberg then looked at the camera as if she were speaking directly to Leavitt: "Let me explain something to you. Because without that wokeness, you might not have that job. Because women were not invited to that table. Women were not invited to many tables in this nation."

Goldberg then became visibly angry as her voice rose, her mouth sneered, and her finger wagged: "The reason we fought and busted our behinds to make sure that you didn't have to worry about this. ... The wokeness was put into place for a reason. Because black people couldn't get into colleges. Because women could not get into the colleges they wanted to go to. ... It was a man's world, and we busted our asses to make sure that this was a person's world. So please, please stop using [wokeness] ... because you don't understand what you're saying."

With that, Behar stated that Leavitt has "probably been put in there because according to Donald Trump, she's a 10. You know that's what it is!"

Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin jumped in to correct Goldberg by saying the White House press secretary position isn't Leavitt's first job and that she worked in the previous Trump administration. Leavitt, 27, is the youngest press secretary in history.

Trump's four press secretaries during his first term in the White House were Sean Spicer, now-Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Stephanie Grisham, and Kayleigh McEnany.

WATCH: Whoopi Goldberg Suggests Musk and Vance Want to Assassinate Trump, Blames Cat in Apology

‘The View’ co-host calls Biden a liar —  and Whoopi Goldberg freaks out



President Biden and his administration consistently denied that he would pardon his son Hunter, but Biden has now done exactly that.

And of course, liberals are defending his decision to do so.

“I respect it as a parent. I understand why he would do it, but I wanted to understand why [he lied] about it for so long,” Alyssa Farah Griffin said in a segment on “The View.”

“I’d stop calling it a lie,” Whoopi Goldberg shot back, defensive.

“For the part of this country, half of it that doesn’t support Biden, doesn’t know him personally,” Griffin continued, ignoring Goldberg’s comment. “They’re just looking at a system that seems like it only benefits the people who are in power. What precedent does that set?”


“It’s a precedent for all of us to open our eyes, because we’ve elected someone who is in a similar situation, who didn’t have a drug problem, who knew what he was doing, who clearly, stood and said, ‘I can do this,’ and he did it,” Goldberg responded, who was joined by Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro in defending the president.

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” is impressed with Griffin for not blindly kneeling to Biden like everyone else on the panel.

“Alyssa, I know you get the cookie and a couple hundred grand and the pat on the head, but I will give you credit because you are making a distinction. There is a distinction between what one might do for their child if given the power, and then the outright lie,” Rubin says.

“Does someone need to literally Google the word ‘lie’ and show it to Whoopi? A lie would be if you say, ‘I’m not going to pardon my son Hunter,’ and then you pardon your son Hunter. That would be a lie,” he adds.

WATCH: 'This Show Is Just Going To Be Legal Notes': Trump Cabinet Picks Force 'The View' To Play Cleanup

The View's Sunny Hostin has been repeatedly forced to read on-air legal notes about President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R., Fla.), Pete Hegseth, and Pam Bondi—a task that became so frequent it eventually drew laughs from the audience and her fellow cohosts.

‘The View’ hosts’ Thanksgiving advice: Don’t break bread with Trump voters



Thanksgiving is almost here, and Americans across the country are getting ready to break bread, sip wine, and bask in their gratitude for their loved ones. But not all Americans are preparing to share the love.

Instead, some are forgoing Thanksgiving festivities altogether based on who their loved ones voted for — and celebrities like Sunny Hostin of “The View” are cheering them on.

“I would never let politics be the reason I don’t show up to see my family because they won’t always be there,” Sara Haines said in a heated debate with Hostin on the liberal show.

“I’m going to disagree,” Hostin replied. “I really do feel that this candidate, President-elect Trump, is just a different type of candidate. From the things he’s said and the things he’s done, and the things he will do, it’s more of a moral issue for me.”


“I think it’s more of a moral issue for other people,” she continued. “So I think when people feel that someone voted not only against their families but against them, and against people that they love, I think it’s okay to take a beat.”

Whoopi Goldberg then jumped in with her infinite wisdom to agree with Hostin, explaining that “somebody who tells me that my child is wrong because of how he or she feels, that tells me that they shouldn’t be allowed to be who they are with my permission, I have to question.”

“I don’t want to put my kid in that position. I don’t want to put my gay child in a position where she has to sit with someone who doesn’t understand her and feels like it’s okay to just blurt all that out,” Goldberg added.

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” isn’t surprised they took this route but does wholeheartedly disagree.

“Thanksgiving is coming, and that’s when we here in America sit down with friends and family, and we eat and we drink and we celebrate freedom, and we take a moment to be thankful for all of the goodness that this great country has afforded us in almost 250 years of existence,” Rubin says.

“Unless you’re someone on ‘The View,’ in which case you shouldn’t invite people you like and you should probably ruin the day for everybody,” he adds.

Whoopi Goldberg under fire again, this time for claiming bakery 'refused' to fill her order 'perhaps' due to her 'politics'



Whoopi Goldberg, an outspoken — and well compensated — co-host of left-wing talk show "The View," was called woefully out of touch with the struggles of everyday Americans after saying on air last week that "I appreciate that people are having a hard time. Me too. I work for a living."

Goldberg — whose 2016 contract extension with "The View" reportedly was in the $5 to $6 million range — added that "if I had all the money in the world, I would not be here, OK? So I'm a working person, you know? ... I know it's hard out there."

'Not everybody wakes up every day thinking about politics. A good businessperson doesn’t care about anyone’s politics.'

As it turns out, that controversy seems minor compared to what Goldberg also whipped up on the show last week.

Goldberg celebrated her 69th birthday Wednesday on "The View" by sharing a tray of Charlotte Russe sponge cakes — and added that "the place that made these refused to make them for me," the Associated Press reported. “They said that their ovens had gone down ... but folks went and got them anyway, which is why I’m not telling you who made them.”

She also said, “It’s not because I’m a woman, but perhaps they did not like my politics," the AP noted.

Goldberg is a well-known, unabashed leftist. During the first episode of "The View" after President-elect Donald Trump's victory over Democrat Kamala Harris earlier this month, Goldberg — sitting at the show's table with her co-hosts, some of whom were dressed in black as if for a funeral — acknowledged that Trump is "now the president" but then declared: "I'm still not gonna say his name."

Jill Holtermann — owner of Holtermann’s Bakery, a 145-year-old dessert institution on Staten Island, New York — confirmed that Goldberg was talking about her establishment on "The View," the AP reported. But Holtermann said Goldberg's order wasn't filled due to equipment issues, not because of politics, the outlet noted.

Goldberg in a follow-up Instagram video doubled down, saying that “it does seem a little odd that when we called a few weeks before my birthday, and we were told they couldn’t process the order for my birthday because of an equipment failure, but somehow they were able to accept an order of a different 48 of the same dessert when somebody else called without using my name.”

The New York Times, citing an individual familiar with both pastry orders, reported that the bakery accepted the same order "a few days later" when it was placed without saying it was for Goldberg.

However, Republican Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella — without mentioning Goldberg's name — said during a Friday news conference that she “besmirched and defamed” the bakery by “making stuff up to suit their needs," the AP reported.

“Not everybody wakes up every day thinking about politics,” he added, according to the outlet. “A good businessperson doesn’t care about anyone’s politics.”

Fossella said the bakery’s decades-old boiler had malfunctioned and had to be replaced, so the store didn’t want to commit to making a large order it couldn’t fill, the AP reported, adding that he suggested, “Just say you’re sorry so we can put this behind us."

'Goldberg and ABC would be wise to apologize on the air to the bakery on Monday.'

Holtermann during the same news conference said her bakery has been flooded with orders since the dust-up went public — and that she's thankful for the support, the outlet noted.

“I know how hard my family has worked to keep this business alive,” she said, according to the AP. “I wish my father was here today to see this.”

You can check out a short video report here about the controversy.

Representatives for Goldberg didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment Saturday, the outlet noted.

Jonathan Turley — the Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University — wrote a Sunday op-ed for Fox News saying a defamation suit against Goldberg could be a "piece of cake."

"Some have said that the fact that Goldberg did not name Holtermann’s Bakery means she cannot be sued. That is wrong," Turley noted before later adding that "the failure to name a party in an otherwise defamatory context is not a defense to defamation."

Turley also said Goldberg using the word "perhaps" before noting "they did not like my politics" doesn't reduce her statement to "a mere opinion. This is a common misunderstanding. Often, people will say 'in my opinion' and then follow with a defamatory statement. It is not treated as an opinion if it is stated as a fact."

"Goldberg and ABC would be wise to apologize on the air to the bakery on Monday," Turley also wrote.

There was no reported indication that an apology occurred on Monday's episode.
