  We got a question for American mama. Dear mama, has canceled culture peaked?
• 0:04
  Well, let's ask our American mama. Mama Mama and joining us now
• 0:19
  our American Mama Terry Netteville. When you and I first started talking about this
• 0:22
  question, we're like, well, I mean, wait, wait, who
• 0:26
  was the last person who was actually canceled? Now? I could think of
• 0:29
  people they've tried to come after. They tried to come after Chris Pratt within
• 0:33
  the last year for a Mother's Day tweet. Right. They tried to come
• 0:36
  after JK Rowling. They've been trying to come out to her for years because
• 0:39
  she is not on board with all the transgender stuff. There are people they've
• 0:44
  tried to cancel. Who was the last person that was successfully canceled? I
• 0:51
  was trying to think, because I know that they have I know that Gina
• 0:55
  Yea, I remember she was yeah, And I think the others, unfortunately
• 1:02
  were apologists. They would come back and apologize. But like the thing that
• 1:04
  I love about JK, she's not an apologize. She's standing firm. Martina
• 1:10
  Navratilova. They tried to cancel her. She's like, Hey, I'm the
• 1:12
  face of feminism. Feminists give me a break, right, and um,
• 1:17
  so I could not think the was it Jeff Props the Survivor or was it
• 1:23
  The Bachelor? I'm sorry, Chris, Chris, Harris Harrison. Yeah,
• 1:27
  he was the host of The Bachelor. They canceled him. Yeah, but
• 1:30
  again that was a couple of years ago. Yeah, and you know they
• 1:34
  canceled him because there are pictures. Okay, So in the South, the
• 1:38
  Kappa Alpha fraternity, remember they have this party every year and it's a it's
• 1:45
  a plantation ball something like that. It's historic and you know, yeah,
• 1:49
  yeah yeah culture and that did happen. The plantations were Yeah, girls of
• 1:53
  all races are invited to this and they all go and they wear the big
• 1:57
  dresses, the you know, the big Annabella dresses and um, and so
• 2:02
  the this was dug up on this contestant and she was sobbing on the show
• 2:08
  because they were just throwing so much hate towards her the media. I don't
• 2:14
  even know how she heard about it, but anyway, so Chris Harrison,
• 2:16
  all he did was say, look, you know, you don't know to
• 2:21
  do better or to be better until you know better. Right, she didn't
• 2:24
  know. This is just a party that they did he got canceled for trying
• 2:28
  to somebody, Yes, trying to be nice, Yeah, trying to be
• 2:30
  nice and be understanding and compassionate. Like none of us that went to those
• 2:36
  parties realized that it was anything but a time to dress up like Scarlett O'Hara
• 2:40
  and have a good time, you know what I mean. And so so
• 2:45
  it's kind of like when Meg and Kelly got booted off of NBC. Yeah
• 2:52
  NBC. Yeah, she said all she did was question, you know,
• 2:57
  I didn't I didn't think it was a bad thing to want to be like
• 2:59
  Diana Ross and and do you know, put a little bronzer on, you
• 3:04
  know, so you could look like Diane. She got booted. But what
• 3:06
  I think happens is they were seeking a way to get her out of there
• 3:10
  because, like Tucker, she had influence. Yeah yeah, yeah, so
• 3:14
  a lot of this, you know, when I'm thinking about people who are
• 3:16
  not like Dave. We were talking about Dave Chappelle. They tried to cancel
• 3:20
  him, people who stand true to their convictions because he's a left leaning,
• 3:24
  he's a Democratic, he's not a conservative, and so but they tried to
• 3:29
  cancel him. The trans people. When this this is when the trans movement
• 3:30
  really first kicked off and started gangbusters. If you noticed, Stephen, those
• 3:37
  comedians who stand true, because I've told you before, I think comedians are
• 3:39
  some of the among the most brilliant among us. You have to observe and
• 3:43
  then present, Yeah, you have to be smart and then present it in
• 3:46
  a way that's funny that people can not only relate to, but that it
• 3:51
  resonates with everybody. I mean, you have to be smart to be a
• 3:53
  good comedian. You have to be so these comedians I've seen more and more
• 3:58
  comedians, even Rosanne Barr has her own new things that can't come this Yeah,
• 4:02
  and I feel like comedians are going to be the ones to kind of
• 4:05
  save us out of this craziness. And the non apologize apologist like JK.
• 4:11
  Rowland people like that that are going to stand true and from because they're standing
• 4:15
  on truth with what they have to say. But doesn't that give you a
• 4:17
  template for everyone else on how to deal with cancel. Yes, And look,
• 4:23
  they can't go after celebrities now, so they're now going after like unknown
• 4:27
  people like the lady with the bicycle that she acted in New York right right,
• 4:30
  They went after her just not that she's necessarily been canceled, but she
• 4:34
  certainly had to go into hiding because I think celebrities have a little bit more
• 4:38
  power to deal with this than just regular people. That's right, that's right.
• 4:42
  But it gives you a template of how to react when someone comes after
• 4:45
  you like this for saying something that's truthful. You just have to stand with
• 4:48
  your convictions. I think about Riley Gains. Yeah, yes she has.
• 4:54
  She is what twenty three, just graduated something like that, and she's put
• 4:59
  her life on hold to stand for her convictions. Because she said, I
• 5:02
  got out there to talk about women's rights and how we don't we deserve to
• 5:08
  be able to race against our own biological kind, And so she said she
• 5:14
  thought she was waiting, like waiting for these feminists to come stand behind her.
• 5:17
  The celebrities, she said, nobody all the meat too, the list
• 5:21
  of Milanos, nobody there. So she said she put her life on hold
• 5:26
  to be a dentist. Put it on hold because she says, this is
• 5:29
  so much more important. And she is going. She is everywhere right now.
• 5:32
  She's going anywhere and everywhere that she is asked to speak. She's very
• 5:36
  articulate. I think God has is using her for this time, for this
• 5:41
  purpose. Yeah, I'm so proud of her. And it's going to take
• 5:44
  people like her that can have that thick skin and let people try to label
• 5:48
  them and say no, God is who I need to answer to period.
