April 24, 2025 | New York, NY: A heated media clash erupted Wednesday when Fox News host Julie Banderas took a vulgar swipe at “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg during a segment on the Trump administration’s new baby boom initiative. The controversial exchange spotlighted growing tensions between conservative and liberal commentators over the government’s efforts to increase birth rates.
The drama unfolded when Goldberg criticized the plan, which includes $5,000 bonuses for new mothers, during an episode of The View. “I am incredibly insulted by this because they don’t know how women’s bodies work,” she said. “I don’t know what $5,000 is supposed to do.”
Banderas responded on Outnumbered by mocking Goldberg, sarcastically lamenting that Goldberg hadn’t become a mother. “Thank God she did not do IVF, because I don’t think she’d find somebody to physically impregnate her,” Banderas said, prompting awkward laughter from her co-hosts.
The remark backfired, as Goldberg is a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She had her daughter, Alexandrea Martin, in 1974 and now has a large extended family.
Banderas later claimed she was “just joking” and corrected herself, stating, “She has one kid… but, I mean, I don’t know. We don’t know much about that person.”
This media flare-up coincides with a bold new initiative from the Trump administration aimed at reversing America’s declining fertility rate, which has fallen below replacement level since the 1990s. The plan, spearheaded by President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, includes financial incentives, education campaigns, and policy shifts favoring married and parenting individuals.
Banderas’s comments underscore how personal the debate over reproductive policy has become, with figures like Elon Musk and Trump pushing narratives around procreation and national prosperity. Musk has even said the “childless have little stake in the future,” linking intelligence and fertility to long-term societal success.
As the baby boom agenda gains traction, media voices from both sides continue to clash — not just over policy, but over the personal lives and choices of those in the public eye.
