'The View's Whoopi Goldberg Sounds Off on Daylight Saving Time in Relatable Rant
'The View' host is just as tired as the rest of us.
Whoopi Goldberg has had it with daylight saving time–but haven't we all?
When The View host, 67, realized how tired she was while filming Tuesday's episode, she went on a bit of a tangent about how much she despises "springing forward."
"So, I am trying to wake up. I'm sorry. I'm still freaking out over daylight saving time. I am not doing well; I hate this!" she exclaimed during the show on Mar. 14. "They don't have to do this. It's dark. Do you know how dark it was this morning at 7 a.m.?"
After the Oscar-winning Ghost actress stated her piece, Goldberg's co-hosts attempted to rationalize the system's reasoning.
Sunny Hostin believes that daylight saving time is to help farmers regulate their chicken population.
"With chickens, if they get sunlight, they produce less eggs," Hostin said before Goldberg questioned why she has to deal with it. "That's all good and stuff for farming, but why do I have to deal with what the chickens are going through?"

Joy Behar chimed in, noting that it helps children who are rising early in the morning to catch the bus for school, but Goldberg disagreed.
"The kids need to go to school, and they would like them to go to school in the light, but it's not light. It was dark still at 7:30; it was mad," Goldberg added. "It's crabby. I'm just crabby."
"And please, don't go crazy because I said I'm crazy. We're having fun," Goldberg joked, "any time we say something, I forget that they go nuts in the news!"
According to the Library of Congress, daylight saving time was introduced in 1918 to reduce energy costs, conserve fuel, and "promote national security and defense" during World War I.
The U.S. Senate attempted to end the changing of clocks last year by passing legislation known as the Sunshine Protection Act. Despite passage in the Senate, the bill stalled in the House, where it remained in a committee until the expiration of the previous Congress.
The bill has since been reintroduced, but, unfortunately, daylight saving time doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon.
