\n\tWhoopi Goldberg<\/a> shut down dissent from the audience at The View<\/a> after audible boos were heard following a mention of Republican Sen. Ted Cruz.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe ABC<\/a> daytime talk show started off Hot Topics by mentioning the Republican Midterm Convention taking place in Texas on Wednesday night. Goldberg noted that their guest today, Cruz, would be at the convention, and people in the crowd made their disdain for him audible.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAh-ah, no, no. You know what? Look\u2026\u201d Goldberg said, turning to the audience.<\/p>\n

\n\tShe continued, \u201cThis is a place where Barbara Walters made sure that anybody who wanted to come and have a good conversation could come. So we want people to come, and we want to engage them. We don\u2019t agree with them always. We don\u2019t jell with them always, but we are respectful and I know you will be too.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe View\u00a0is celebrating 30 seasons on the air, and Goldberg is reminding audiences what the talk show concept is and paying homage to Walters\u2019 vision. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSometimes you know stuff\u2026 It\u2019s like a burp. It comes up and so just swallow it back down,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe View kicked off Season 30 on Tuesday following a month-long hiatus. Goldberg returned as moderator alongside Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis September, the co-hosts will be joined by Jessica Lange, Andrew Garfield, Sarah Paulson, Billie Lourd, Maisie Williams; the cast of East of Eden, including Florence Pugh, Christopher Abbott and Mike Faist, with executive producer Zoe Kazan. Former co-host Sherri Shepherd is also set to return to the daytime talk show as a guest.<\/p>\n
