Hostin took the opposite position.

Where do you get the money to pay for those vouchers?

As Hostin continued, Griffin made repeated attempts to make a point.

Can I get in just to make it a conversation?

No, there is no last thing right now, Goldberg shot back.

Faithful go on a pilgrimage for the death of Pope Francis in the Church of Santa Maria Addolorata, which occurs in Vatican City, on April 21, 2025. The Vatican announces that Pope Francis, 88, dies ‘‘this morning at 07:35 local time (05:35 GMT) the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returns to the house of the Father’’.

Were going to go to break.

After returning from the commercial break, Goldberg and her cohosts were smiling.

After joking about an apparent earlier teleprompter glitch, Goldberg said, Theres something in the air.

A serious Behar then said, You know whats in the air, Whoopi?

We lost the election.

Were miserable, half of this country is miserable.

And lets just tell the truth: We hate that he won.

Everybody is uptight and crazy right now.

I dont feel that way, but I do want to be very clear-eyed about the policies.

Goldberg then got the final say (after Behar snapped at the other cohosts, Let her talk).

The problem with the school system is we allow failing schools because we dont bolster them, Goldberg said.

We dont pay teachers, we dont take care of the students that need to be taken care of.

Goldberg then addressed the audience.

Everyone in this audience do me a favor, take a big deep breath…and let it go.
