After Stefano stated that the Head Start Program, which aims to help poor children, did not work, Beckel replied, “You don’t know what the f*ck you're talking about!” Beckel did not realize the show was back from the commercial break, and initially refused to apologize. When persuaded that the show was, in fact, live, Beckel apologized for his choice of language, but stood by the overall intent of the statement.[4]
