Whoopi Goldberg, Cancel Culture, and Misguided Accusations
Show Notes
What happens when cancel culture tactics leap across the political aisle? This episode takes a bold look at the shifting dynamics of cancel culture, with a spotlight on a recent incident involving Whoopi Goldberg and Holtermann's Bakery. Goldberg's accusation that the Staten Island bakery refused her service due to her liberal viewpoints has sparked intense debate and showcased the victim mentality often critiqued in political circles. We examine how these tactics are failing and discuss the backlash public figures face, regardless of their political stance.
00:00:02.404 --> 00:00:13.310 You know, when it's Monday morning and the rumor mill of the canceled culture isn't on the left, the canceled culture has gone wild.
00:00:13.310 --> 00:00:32.893 Once upon a time, the left would cancel everything Cancel Israel products, cancel French products, cancel Donald Trump canceled anything anywhere and it was never, ever, ever been able to say boo against the left who's causing the cancel culture.
00:00:32.893 --> 00:00:43.250 Today you have the right causing cancel culture, where they're saying the view is going to be canceled because of the stupidity of their hosts.
00:00:43.250 --> 00:00:44.381 And you know what?
00:00:44.381 --> 00:00:45.601 Because of the stupidity of their hosts.
00:00:45.601 --> 00:00:46.283 And you know what?
00:00:46.283 --> 00:01:01.515 Notwithstanding the bagel catcher of them all, the woman who's infamous from the 80s as being the one who likes bagels, whoopi Goldberg is now front and center of being the hypocrite of the year.
00:01:01.515 --> 00:01:02.777 Welcome everybody.
00:01:02.777 --> 00:01:04.754 My name's Stuart Prisgale.
00:01:04.754 --> 00:01:06.262 That's my co-host, david Sullivan.
00:01:06.662 --> 00:01:11.302 We're bringing you unfiltered, uncensored conversation on a wide range of topics.
00:01:11.302 --> 00:01:20.948 This is a podcast dedicated on expressing our opinions, sharing our thoughts, experiences and ideas from a variety of perspectives.
00:01:20.948 --> 00:01:22.593 At least it's honest.
00:01:22.593 --> 00:01:39.671 Join us as we dive into this latest piece of news, as we do cover pop culture, politics and so much more Rants of absurdity, like some of our travel, history or deeper issues affecting the world.
00:01:39.671 --> 00:01:41.134 Guys, sit back.
00:01:41.134 --> 00:01:42.156 Relax, david.
00:01:42.156 --> 00:01:46.579 Guys, sit back, relax, david.
00:01:46.579 --> 00:01:54.972 So as I tried to start and not steal any of your thunder, but to try and understand, when the left calls people names, it's okay.
00:01:54.972 --> 00:01:56.515 They can do it.
00:01:56.515 --> 00:02:01.893 When they want to call people out and make false statements, that's okay.
00:02:01.893 --> 00:02:16.451 When they want to lie through their teeth and try and use their notoriety as a pulpit of jawboning or trying to destroy, it's very simple.
00:02:16.451 --> 00:02:28.032 When a 150-year-old baker doesn't turn up the stuff for a whoopei's fat ass, she has her buns in a conniption.
00:02:28.032 --> 00:02:39.757 David, what was that delicacy from that 150-year-old bakery that has her rather large rear end up and swollen?
00:02:41.061 --> 00:02:47.769 Well, this pastry called a Charlotte Roost, which I've never had, stuart, it's supposed to be some sort of spongy delicacy.
00:02:47.769 --> 00:02:48.671 I have no idea.
00:02:48.671 --> 00:02:51.990 There's a bakery in Staten Island called Holterman's Bakery.
00:02:51.990 --> 00:02:54.486 They're one of the last that make it.
00:02:54.486 --> 00:02:59.491 This bakery is well known in Staten Island and in the boroughs of New York.
00:02:59.491 --> 00:03:02.260 You know you want this particular pastry, you go there.
00:03:02.260 --> 00:03:08.334 And Whoopi Goldberg said she went there to pick up some of these pastries to celebrate her birthday.
00:03:09.540 --> 00:03:18.794 Well, lo and behold, she accused the bakery of not wanting to serve her this famous pastry.
00:03:18.794 --> 00:03:29.406 And when asked and prompted, they said look, our boiler, which is almost as old as she is, apparently is not working properly and therefore they weren't doing it.
00:03:29.406 --> 00:03:31.045 They weren't going to meet her order.
00:03:31.045 --> 00:03:32.385 So they said no, we won't.
00:03:32.385 --> 00:03:43.973 So instead of accepting at face value, she takes her pulpit, goes on her TV show of which, by the way, her and Joy Bahar's contracts will not be renewed.
00:03:43.973 --> 00:03:46.200 Take that for what that's worth.
00:03:47.283 --> 00:04:10.343 And lo and behold, she accuses them not of not serving her because she's a woman, not of not serving her because she's Black, but because of her political views, that Staten Island is a more conservative-leaning political area and therefore the staff all decided we're not going to serve Whoopi Goldberg because she is too liberal for them.
00:04:10.343 --> 00:04:15.853 No fact, nothing other than a feeling that she got.
00:04:15.853 --> 00:04:22.329 Now you know, stuart, I'm sick and tired of the victimized attitude that the left loves to have.
00:04:22.329 --> 00:04:31.490 We're victims all the time of some kind, and it seems that you know it's that Whoopi Goldberg's new victim is.
00:04:31.490 --> 00:04:35.084 I'm a Democrat, I don't like Donald Trump.
00:04:35.084 --> 00:04:38.432 Therefore you won't serve me, and that's wrong.
00:04:38.939 --> 00:04:42.305 But now you know there's a twist I got to throw in there.
00:04:42.305 --> 00:04:50.615 You know the left is notorious on experimenting on how to get their base riled up.
00:04:50.615 --> 00:04:56.392 For example, donald Trump, russian collusion, russian collusion.
00:04:56.392 --> 00:05:07.648 Now it's like how do I get Democrat businesses to boycott Republican businesses Because whooping Goldberg continues to grow?
00:05:08.682 --> 00:05:10.226 But this story is not new.
00:05:10.226 --> 00:05:10.807 I'm sorry.
00:05:11.108 --> 00:05:11.730 Oh, I tell you.
00:05:12.562 --> 00:05:13.365 I'm sorry to say.
00:05:13.365 --> 00:05:14.428 I'm sorry to say.
00:05:14.428 --> 00:05:17.509 Speak to actors like Scott Bale.
00:05:17.509 --> 00:05:22.814 Speak to other actors and actresses that have come up out conservatively pro Donald Trump.
00:05:22.814 --> 00:05:24.980 Look at athletes who have done that over the weekend, conservatively pro-Donald Trump.
00:05:24.980 --> 00:05:34.588 Look at athletes who have done that Over the weekend, just to give you an idea football players, ufc athletes all celebrated like a Donald Trump.
00:05:34.588 --> 00:05:40.309 There was a Donald Trump type of dance celebration, right, and we're slammed, slammed.
00:05:42.242 --> 00:05:43.326 This is what the left has done.
00:05:43.326 --> 00:05:56.130 The left has done it where, if it's a liberal Democrat way of doing things, they're acceptable, but anything to show support for the right, the conservatives, donald Trump, you name it.
00:05:56.130 --> 00:05:56.932 It's wrong.
00:05:56.932 --> 00:06:07.740 Now the thing is, stuart, that the Staten Island borough president, vito Fussella, stood with local leaders and blasted, blasted Goldberg, saying how dare you Like?
00:06:07.740 --> 00:06:08.701 Where do you?
00:06:08.701 --> 00:06:19.581 Just because you're some actress who has zero political inclination, you use your pulpit to get your point across, to try to sway voters.
00:06:19.581 --> 00:06:22.391 It didn't work, by the way, okay.
00:06:22.391 --> 00:06:23.737 Hence, look at the vote.
00:06:23.737 --> 00:06:30.983 Even though Kamala Harris got the fourth highest number of votes ever in American history, who cares?
00:06:30.983 --> 00:06:31.963 She lost.
00:06:31.963 --> 00:06:36.899 She lost everywhere, practically, and the view continues to not double down, but triple down.
00:06:38.050 --> 00:06:45.415 On Friday, bill Maher did a whole routine on that, saying you know, you Democrats, you say the right is stupid, you on the left are stupid.
00:06:48.019 --> 00:06:55.396 Insulting, degrading, denigrating, false accusations do not work.
00:06:55.396 --> 00:06:57.201 And you know what?
00:06:57.201 --> 00:07:11.720 Though she said it was in her opinion, according to lawyers, holterman's Bakery can sue Whoopi's butt, as you called it, because you went on TV and defamed this 145-year-old bakery.
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:15.954 Stuart, I don't know how you feel, but I'm sick and tired of them.
00:07:15.954 --> 00:07:19.512 I'm glad Joy Bahar and Whoopi won't be back in sometime, but 2025.
00:07:19.512 --> 00:07:29.057 They're not going to be renewed because enough is enough and ABC may have finally woken up to believe that these two women, their toxicity is terrible.
00:07:29.430 --> 00:07:31.197 Yeah, but I think you have some fake news here.
00:07:31.197 --> 00:07:40.141 Whoopi Goldberg's contract was renewed for four years, extending her role through the 28th season, which is the summer of 2025.
00:07:40.161 --> 00:07:41.925 Yeah, I understand.
00:07:41.925 --> 00:07:45.040 But Stuart, Stuart, your microphone just cut out.
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:56.223 But keep in mind one thing okay, the ABC has said maybe there are no credible reports.
00:07:56.223 --> 00:07:57.815 There are reports floating around of this.
00:07:57.815 --> 00:07:58.639 I don't know.
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:01.778 I'm hearing these reports that they're going to do it.
00:08:01.778 --> 00:08:02.541 But you know what?
00:08:02.541 --> 00:08:03.605 Abc should fire them.
00:08:03.605 --> 00:08:05.752 Abc should get rid of them.
00:08:05.773 --> 00:08:07.899 Listen, I think the View has had its day.
00:08:07.899 --> 00:08:14.214 I think the View proved to be something that needs to be unfortunately canceled.
00:08:14.214 --> 00:08:15.817 They are irrelevant.
00:08:15.817 --> 00:08:37.072 They are by far a bunch of yappy old people who are irrelevant in the political world, the social world and, I hate to tell you, the acting world, and you know it's unfortunate that someone that had such statute as Whoopi Goldberg did in Hollywood to turn out and being a political hack.
00:08:37.072 --> 00:08:44.535 You know all these actors and actresses, unfortunately not like Scott Baio, who said I'm moving out of the United States.
00:08:44.535 --> 00:08:46.456 I think we should start a GoFundMe.
00:08:46.456 --> 00:08:52.836 I like my GoFundMe account to buy them airplane tickets and first class bougie things to send them.
00:08:53.331 --> 00:08:54.556 I am not buying these.
00:08:54.556 --> 00:08:56.448 I won't buy for anybody.
00:08:56.448 --> 00:09:07.576 I make it bet if I solicited the Koch brothers no no, no, I think you're wrong If you're threatening to leave, pick up and go.
00:09:08.057 --> 00:09:09.861 I'm not paying you, I'll help you.
00:09:10.991 --> 00:09:11.855 But hold on.
00:09:11.855 --> 00:09:22.304 But if you're going to go, if you're going to do what Whoopi likes to do and you like to cancel, okay, head into your American passport, rescind.
00:09:22.304 --> 00:09:25.174 Rescind your US citizenship, let's see.
00:09:25.174 --> 00:09:28.943 If you do that, stop with this, because this is exactly.
00:09:28.943 --> 00:09:32.297 This is exactly the problem, stuart, we face.
00:09:32.979 --> 00:09:48.278 The left makes noise, rattles their sabers and cages and whatever, and instead of being held accountable, they could say what they want, disrupt who they want, ruin the reputation of who they want.
00:09:48.278 --> 00:09:53.522 I mean, there are not just actors, but business people.
00:09:53.522 --> 00:10:00.769 There are politicians whose lives were ruined by just an accusation, nothing more, nothing less.
00:10:00.769 --> 00:10:08.404 And here's a business Holterman who has nothing but a mechanical failure.
00:10:08.404 --> 00:10:19.035 She alleged, because she is so highly intelligent in business, because she's run a business before right, she knows everything about business that you know what it's like in supply chain management.
00:10:19.157 --> 00:10:22.033 Wherever there's a bottleneck, okay, it happens.
00:10:22.033 --> 00:10:27.174 We've all been there where, at one point, something breaks down and we can't get served.
00:10:27.174 --> 00:10:44.471 But for Whoopi Goldberg, that's a threat to our political views, and this is what the left is becoming more and more notorious for false accusations, and people, whether they're on the right or on the center or left of center, are waking up and going.
00:10:44.471 --> 00:10:45.474 Shut up.
00:10:45.474 --> 00:10:49.384 Enough with your stupidity, enough with this crap.
00:10:49.384 --> 00:10:51.225 We don't want to hear it anymore.
00:10:51.225 --> 00:10:57.772 But they have a voice box and they just keep yapping and yapping and yapping.
00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:04.474 You know there's a place in England called Hyde Park where the crazy stand on a box.
00:11:04.474 --> 00:11:28.710 You know, since you don't like the idea of actually sending having the Koch brothers sending airline tickets to these wonderful Hollywood elites, how about I have them sponsor boxes for crazies and write their names on them and send them to England so that the crazies can stand on stupid boxes that have stupid people's names on them, like a Whoopi Goldberg?
00:11:28.710 --> 00:11:29.591 Would that be fair?
00:11:29.591 --> 00:11:30.221 Like?
00:11:30.221 --> 00:11:37.964 I'm just so over this, david, I'm trying to be like, eh, like, how do you just sort of do something to just annoy them back at?
00:11:38.004 --> 00:11:38.926 this point.
00:11:38.926 --> 00:11:50.200 You know, what the problem is is that they have, as I said, they have their soapbox, and abc and msnbc and cnn gives them the ability because it drives ratings.
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:54.692 It has nothing to do with fact, it just drives ratings and it continues to be.
00:11:54.692 --> 00:11:55.081 You know what?
00:11:55.081 --> 00:11:58.751 The next four years we're gonna hear it like no one's business.
00:11:58.751 --> 00:12:01.860 Okay, but this is just the point.
00:12:01.860 --> 00:12:06.725 This is exactly what it's time for the left to wake up.
00:12:06.725 --> 00:12:08.128 Wake up.
00:12:08.128 --> 00:12:11.773 Here is the crazy thing.
00:12:13.214 --> 00:12:17.547 Democrats continue to do it, bernie Sanders continues to do it.
00:12:17.547 --> 00:12:20.969 You've got AOC and her crew continue to do it.
00:12:20.969 --> 00:12:37.683 You've got Hillary Clinton and you've got all the rest of these folks who believe that they're high and mighty, that their way is the only way and, as a result, you need to listen to me, and if you don't, you're stupid, and if you don't, it's because you don't like my views.
00:12:37.683 --> 00:12:44.187 I got to tell you a story Thanksgiving's coming up right Next week, right, okay?
00:12:44.508 --> 00:12:54.808 So here's the question for all these people how many of your friends and family are you not inviting this year Because you don't want to listen to the fact that they're going to take a victory lap for Trump?
00:12:54.808 --> 00:13:01.869 How many of them are you going to be upset about Because your political view, you on the left especially, do not want to hear.
00:13:01.869 --> 00:13:07.089 I know people on the right are the same there are those on the right are the same, but you on the left you lost.
00:13:07.089 --> 00:13:12.028 You lost badly Because the American people didn't care for your politics.
00:13:12.028 --> 00:13:18.160 But you still don't want to listen and you think that people on the right don't want to listen to you or don't want to serve you or don't want to work with you.
00:13:18.160 --> 00:13:22.051 The opposite You're the ones who want to run out of America, not the right.
00:13:23.100 --> 00:13:27.970 You know, but like even Akeem Jeffries can't even take it on the chin.
00:13:27.970 --> 00:13:29.854 His party lost miserably.
00:13:29.854 --> 00:13:31.321 It wasn't close.
00:13:31.321 --> 00:13:41.655 You know the fraud that's now coming out from the Harris campaign about private planes, people not being paid one million but two million.
00:13:41.655 --> 00:13:44.485 It seems that Oprah's salary was doubled.
00:13:44.485 --> 00:13:51.659 You know, it's just mind boggling how they wasted their constituents money.
00:13:51.900 --> 00:13:53.166 It's irrelevant what they did with the constituents money.
00:13:53.166 --> 00:13:53.807 It was irrelevant what they.
00:13:53.807 --> 00:13:55.554 It's not the constituents' money, it was all the donors.
00:13:56.919 --> 00:13:59.489 But again, well, yeah, the constituents that supported them.
00:13:59.489 --> 00:14:02.868 The $2 million donation was just, but think about it.
00:14:03.208 --> 00:14:04.030 What was their approach?
00:14:04.030 --> 00:14:05.164 What was Oprah's approach?
00:14:05.164 --> 00:14:06.706 What was Obama's approach?
00:14:06.706 --> 00:14:08.225 What was Hillary's approach?
00:14:08.225 --> 00:14:10.006 What was everybody's approach?
00:14:10.006 --> 00:14:13.369 You don't vote for Kamala.
00:14:13.369 --> 00:14:15.042 You're dumb.
00:14:15.042 --> 00:14:20.222 This dumb politics, this insult politics we've talked about quite a few times.
00:14:20.222 --> 00:14:31.567 Whoopi going to a bakery where there was an innocent problem just shows how the left can't look clearly.
00:14:31.567 --> 00:14:37.806 It's time to change your glasses, Whoopi, because what you see is so blurry, it's so crap.
00:14:37.806 --> 00:14:39.826 Change your glasses, Whoopi.
00:14:40.642 --> 00:14:46.322 I think that's a great thing and on that note, david, we're going to say goodbye to Whoopi Guys.
00:14:46.322 --> 00:14:47.486 That's a wrap for today's episode.
