=== Dr. Seuss Canceled? (02:56) ===

[00:00:00]  Now, they're canceling Dr.
[00:00:02]  Seuss, guys. They're canceling Dr.
[00:00:05]  Seuss. The books and the stories that we grew up to, the books and stories that I know that I read to my children, are effectively being canceled.
[00:00:16]  President Biden has actually removed mentions of Dr.
[00:00:20]  Seuss from Read Across America Day.
[00:00:23]  It was obviously a staple of those days for presidents before him.
[00:00:30]  And they're being removed because of quote-unquote racial undertones.
[00:00:34]  Rather than learning from anything, Rather than overthinking it, they're just going to remove it.
[00:00:39]  In fact, six Dr. Seuss books are going to stop being even published.
[00:00:44]  But what I want to know is, if Dr.
[00:00:47]  Seuss is all of a sudden magically racist in 2021, why wasn't he racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic, everyphobic imaginable under Barack Obama?
[00:01:05]  Why is that? Look at some of these pictures and videos that are out there online.
[00:01:10]  Here's Michelle Obama and they're celebrating with Thing 1 and Thing 2.
[00:01:16]  The great characters from The Cat in the Hat.
[00:01:20]  Why was it not racist and xenophobic then?
[00:01:24]  Why is it only now that it's a problem?
[00:01:27]  And the answer is simple, guys.
[00:01:30]  Because if you give the radical woke left an inch, they will take a mile.
[00:01:34]  They will never stop.
[00:01:36]  There is no ration or reason and there is nothing at all that is sacred.
[00:01:43]  This is what we have to deal with in America today.
[00:01:46]  Obama even said according to like Bustle Magazine and implied that Dr.
[00:01:51]  Seuss is the best teacher.
[00:01:53]  He talked about how if everyone read some of those books they could solve a lot of the world's problems.
[00:01:58]  Obama was quoted as saying quote pretty much all of the stuff you need to know is in Dr.
[00:02:05]  Seuss. This is Obama.
[00:02:08]  This is Eight plus years ago.
[00:02:11]  It's not like we're talking about it being in an entirely different era or century or anything.
[00:02:19]  There's pictures From the Read Across America days in the White House again with the Obamas and people dressed up as the characters from Dr.
[00:02:29]  Seuss. Why wasn't it racist then but it is now?
[00:02:33]  Because we've lost our minds.
[00:02:35]  Because we've allowed the radical left to take over every aspect of our lives.
[00:02:40]  Because we've allowed cancel culture to Dictate what we do and how we respond and how we deal with absolute lunacy.

=== Push Back Against Cancel Culture (00:50) ===

[00:02:50]  And in the face of that lunacy, guys, we've made a career out of just folding, out of giving up.
[00:02:56]  But this is the insanity, folks.
[00:02:59]  Let's preserve some of the goodness and the decency from some of these great books, because who knows what's next?
[00:03:05]  You know, you saw Mr. Potato Head, and you saw the Muppets.
[00:03:08]  They're all gone in the last 10 days.
[00:03:10]  I mean, look at how quick the snowball It's building up, going down this hill with cancel culture and what's happening.
[00:03:18]  Don't let it happen.
[00:03:20]  Push back. Call out the nonsense aggressively.
[00:03:24]  And maybe we can put an end to it.
[00:03:25]  Because if we don't put it in check, it's never going to stop, folks.
[00:03:29]  Nothing will be left.
