Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar are infuriated over President Donald Trump‘s latest round of tariffs that would target the Hollywood industry.

During today’s episode of The View, the Hot Topics panel examined Trump’s proposal to enforce a 100% tariff on all foreign-produced films entering the United States. Goldberg was nearly at a loss for words regarding the policy, pointing out that you can’t film The Passion of the Christ in Texas and Gladiator requires filming in Rome.

“Could you please lower the price of eggs before you start this?” she asked.

The veteran moderator appealed to Trump and actor Jon Voight, who is acting as the Special Ambassador to Hollywood, to abandon their initiative aimed at increasing domestic film productions.

“Please stop. I understand Jon’s perspective. I get it,” Goldberg remarked, addressing her earlier comment about the prohibitive costs of producing films and shows in California. “But the core issue is tax incentives — if you want change, it has to start within the U.S. You need to offer opportunities for filming projects here. Don’t restrict us from filming abroad because you’ll end up limiting our options.”

“Not for nothing, the movies teach people English. We teach people who will never get to America what America is all about. We show them who we are,” she continued. “If you impose a tax like this, you are saying that we’re not good enough and that is not the case. We are the best in the world.”

Behar, for her part, felt like the new policy was just another way to distract Americans from the real problems Trump has been causing since he came back into office in January.

“Isn’t this just a distraction from the fact that he’s destroying the economy?” she asked. “It’s another card as they call it. He’s ruining everything so look at this, not this.”

Goldberg agreed, cheekily adding, “Well, look at this — the egg.”

The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
