The right knows that there's
a crisis in America.
And you need to understand
how dangerous
everything that's going on is.
And that crisis is that Dr.
Seuss has been canceled, but
not really.
His own state decided it.
And it's just six books, and
they're still out there.
But anyway, they have lost their
ever loving minds over this thing.
So it's been tracked quite a bit.
Liz Power tweeted, it's just 10 AM
and Fox News has already,
this is yesterday, has already had
8 segments on Dr. Seuss,
wuite literally being canceled.
Which, of course, he was not, and
that's not actually thing.
You can see in one of those
pictures, by the way,
they had Madison Cawthorne on,
a guy who is facing multiple
accusations of sexual harassment
and sexual assault.
They didn't bring up any of that.
Instead, they just asked him about
Dr. Seuss.
Then, later on,
their straight news shows talked
about how the Biden White House was
dodging questions on Dr. Seuss.
Yeah, why did Joe Biden cancel Dr.
Seuss?
That's a good question.
They had experts on to talk about
it later on.
And then this morning,
they're still doing it.
Aaron Rupar is tracking,
it's again another full news cycle.
They implied that people are being
silenced by Universal Orlando
evaluating a Seuss themed area,
which I've been to.
I don't think that it has any of
the crazy racism, but
maybe I missed a section.
And then they've had,
I just want to give you a sampling
of the conversation.
Because this is the only thing
happening in America from
their point of view.
The pandemic's not a big issue,
Texans are perfectly fine.
Don't worry about any of
that stuff.
Here they go.
[CROSSTALK] >> What a radical
organization decides to put
together, and eliminate children's
books from a brilliant author that
has helped spread the word of
reading and the love of reading
around the globe.
And we're going to let one group
decide that it's not worthy of our
eyes and our kids.
That's a travesty,
we gotta put the brakes on.
>> Well, if they're- >> People
too scared.
They don't want to be involved in
all of this, so
they'd rather just cancel it all.
And listen- >> Gotta stand for
something.
>> Well, do- >> The places we will
go, the places we are going in
this country right now.
>> Jayar?
>> The Places We Will Go, okay.
So this is why they need a little
bit of, I guess,
effective pushback.
So show each of those idiots
pictures of the things in these
books.
>> Yes. >> And you're like,
do you like this?
Hey, why do you like this?
I can't remember any of their
names, Steve?
Why do you like any of
those, Brian?
Hey, Brian,
do you love this image of these two
depicted black people carrying some
weird creature with a super long
neck on their shoulders because
that's what they're there for?
Hey, what do you love about that?
Hey, how often do you teach your
kids, if you have any,
about this image?
Do you tell them, hey,
when you go outside and
see black folks,
that's who they are?
Is that what you do?
because if you do, I don't want to
have anything to do with you.
In fact, you're a disgrace to this
country.
Of course, it's why they have their
conversations in their own enclosed
circles there so they don't have
any kind of pushback like this.
So that the other side,
obvious side of this discussion,
is absolutely not had.
It's just,
look at them cancelling Dr.
Seuss again.
Are you saying that's all Dr.
Seuss was, right?
because you said this is all it has
to do with anything,
because he's been canceled.
You can't find anything of Dr.
Seuss ever again.
And the love of reading just
doesn't exist without Dr. Seuss.
There's no other author in
the world but Dr. Seuss.
Hey, my child,
if he doesn't read Dr. Seuss,
he just doesn't know how to read.
Shut up, so tired of- >> No,
it's a devastating point.
How cowardly of them,
that they will talk about this for
multiple days in a row.
And I bet they will never
actually show those images.
And if they do show those images,
they will never have,
I'm trying to remember her name.
I don't remember there's Doocy,
there's Kilmeade, and- >> There's,
now see, it's contagious.
>> I dont remember her name.
But anyway,
I barely remember Kilmeade.
Sometimes I call him up Gutfeld.
Anyway, they will never say,
there's the image.
Here's why I think our kids need to
still see this.
With no added context.
They will never actually do that,
because they are cowards.
They want to talk about this as
some sort of example of cancel
culture, but never actually engage
with why that's what we should be
teaching kids.
>> Absolutely.
>> Instead of just other Dr.
Seuss books,
which we could be teaching them.
Books that, for instance,
focus on being opposed to military
escalation, and things like that.
I doubt they'd actually want us
to focus on that.
No, they'll just speak in
incredibly generalized terms, hour,
after hour, after hour,
without saying anything.
It's the sort of situation Dr.
Seuss would have written about,
actually.
And I just tweeted,
I think one of the reasons they
can't get past this is it's a 50-50
chance that that's the last
books that Kilmeade read, honestly.
He doesn't have anything else to
go to except Dr. Seuss.
[LAUGH] >> They certainly haven't
read Harry Potter,
because it's about witchcraft.
But anyway, yeah, no, there
are serious issues in America.
Both the crises, but
then also discussions about how we
can maybe solve them and strengthen
the American working class.
So do they want to do
48 hours of conversation
around raising the minimum wage?
No, they don't want to do that,
because they don't want it raised.
But their audience probably does,
a good number of them do, and they
don't want to tell their audience
what they don't want to hear.
And so, instead,
they talk about this for two days.
And you can expect that they're
going to do this for
a solid four years.
There's going to be no
discussion of any of
the actual problems having
to do with economic inequality,
access to health insurance, student
loan debt, the housing crisis,
any of those things.
Because they don't have solutions
for those things.
So they'll just talk about
the Muppets or whatever.
>> But, when it comes to policy,
they're definitely going to pin
things on Biden, for
even considering.
Like, look at this little
progressive- >> They're pinning
this on Biden. >> Exactly,
look at this lib progressive
administration, canceling people.
He has nothing to do with this.
And, by the way, when 80% of
the things he does do are going to
fall in line with what these guys
on Fox would like for him to do,
they're not going to talk about it.
They're not going to talk about it.
That's why they have to fill it
with things like this.
because, unless you're upset about
something he's doing, and
in many cases he won't be doing
those things that you would get
upset about,
you gotta find something else to
get upset about with him over.
because policy ain't
going to cut it.
I mean, when Democrats go engage in
more wars, when Democrats continue
to screw the working people over,
you don't see Fox going,
look at the Biden administration
screwing over the workers again.
No, they're not going to do that
because they agree with that part.
They gotta find something, and
this is just enough.
>> Yeah, the Bear's Den says,
imagine if
Biden had been wearing a tan suit.
He should wear a tan suit.
Let's see if we can make them do
a full night's news on it.
Anyway, yeah, yeah, some Dr.
Seuss stuff is perfectly fine.
I think that they could probably
come out with new versions of
those other books, and
maybe they will, in fact.
And if they don't, you know what
there is in the world?
Other kids' books, including by
authors other than Dr. Seuss,
including by non-white authors.
>> Crazy.
>> Maybe we should teach our kids
about some of them.
Maybe they have something to say.
>> Well, those children's authors
don't use words,
though, in their books.
They just think they don't.
