You read it right. You’re either going to “cancel” me, or agree. I think you will agree. Cancel Culture is toxic, it needs to stop — before you cancel yourself! I found some videos on our oh-so favorite app… TikTok so that I can give you good examples.

1 (28s):
Good morning. Good afternoon. Or good evening, depending on when you’re tuning in. My name is Jonathan Torres Herrera, and you are watching the JTA show today. I want to talk about F your cancel, culture. Yeah. Like that, but first, roll the intro…
1 (55s):
Alright. So before anybody gets upset, I don’t mean your cancel culture, right? Someone else has come to COVID. Right. I like your council culture. I don’t want people thinking, like, isn’t even mind, like, all right. What I’m talking about is like the video you just saw. Okay. And I’m going to get deeper into what I mean by the vintages up, because there’s a law attached to it. It’s not just as the ten second clip. So let’s break the first clip down first. So you see there a young lady yelling at her father about the, the Mount Rushmore, you know, whatever statues, I don’t even know what you call them.
1 (1m 34s):
Now. The, the, the, the faces are on the mountain, right? For those of you guys are, for some reason, maybe I’m familiar with , which is possible, right. We shouldn’t be like greedy Americans. I get to know Mount Rushmore. I’m sorry. There we have here in a U S mountains with faces and she is upset. Oh, I’m sorry, but faces. Good question. Good question. Audience always tries to burn me. The presidential presidential faces past presidents, right?
1 (2m 6s):
And she is not on the side of what has been happening recently in Mount Rushmore, which is there’s some people processing to take them down. So that is a whole other video that I can probably do in this particular one. What caught my attention is what, not, not necessarily happened in that video. It’s what happened after. So again, in the video, she’s yelling at her dad and she’s basically saying, you know what, if you know those, by the way, she’s saying those spaces don’t deserve to be there.
1 (2m 36s):
Those are, you know, carved in, in, you know, with, on native lands. What if a Osama bin Lannon decides to come over in a carbon space? I don’t think that’s an apples to apples comparison to her. It is. And that’s her opinion. That’s fine. But you know, in the video, she’s like, I’m about to throw hands right at the, at the bottom, they are put for you at the beginning of, you know, there’s a capture. Cause when you download the video from tech talk, it doesn’t give you like their captions. But you know, I saw a screenshot and I showed you, right? Like, she’s that passionate over the conversation, which again, in and of itself, I think it’s, it’s horrible that you would speak to your parent like that.
1 (3m 14s):
Get him on camera. You know, I don’t know. Even know if the guy is even aware that he’s on camera just to maybe make, you know, make them poke fun at him, make a fool out of him, make a statement. Like, yeah, look at me. I’m so passionate about this conversation. I’m willing to throw hands with my dad, throw hands. It’s like, basically I’m about to fight with him. You know? Like, you know, that’s what they usually say when you’re literally gonna get into a fist fight with someone. Right. To do that again, I, I can go off on just the whole parenting problem that I see there, but okay.
1 (3m 48s):
That’s not what we’re here with for today. It’s moments in the real issue. But for that, I’m going to show you another video and yes, I got videos three times today. Not just two. I got a few let’s move on to that video first.
2 (4m 0s):
Hi Kelly. I was just wondering if your job would approve of you saying stuff like this to 22 year olds on social media. Like, should I, should I inform them about this or do you want to do?
1 (4m 16s):
Okay. Alright. So she definitely got some backlash, right? Cause a lot of people saw that video and by the way, yes, I got this from tech talk and people are going to be like, well, I’d have thought you didn’t like to duck. I don’t, I don’t like it, but it’s honestly a great source for like videos like this like great ideas. I used to get a lot of stuff from Facebook and I used to set it up before on my videos. But tick tock recently has given me a lot, a lot to, to, to use. But anyways, so in this, in this video, she responds to somebody that left a comment.
1 (4m 47s):
Now the comment, you know, I don’t, I don’t ever condone anybody going out and saying, I’m going to do this to you. And especially physical violence. The person was probably being hyperbolic in like what the girl deserved, you know, to be punished for speaking like that to her dad and her reaction is what really drove me nuts and what really sparked his video, which is what she was trying to basically, you know, kinda like insinuate, like, well, you’re going to say that about me on a nasty comment.
1 (5m 21s):
So what if I just go to your school or your employment or employer, which is, I guess the lady works at a school. So she stopped her and she’s like, I’m just going to go ahead and call them. So are you going to call them or I will write. And she does this by the way again, which I’ll show you in just a second. That’s a problem, right? That’s that goes with the whole council culture, which is honestly garbage. It is. So what might’ve started started, excuse me, as maybe good intentions, like someone that did something horrific sometime, you know, years ago.
1 (5m 55s):
And it’s like, man, look at that person, you know, they’re saying very racist or something that is maybe even borderline illegal and we should go inform everybody that can possibly be doing some kind of business with that individual and warn them that this is not a good person. So depending on the gravity of, you know, again, pretending going way back when probably council culture started, someone did something horrific. Can I be on the boat of maybe informing law enforcement informing maybe even their employer.
1 (6m 29s):
Yeah. Again, depending on, you know, the gravity, any of what that person has done, right? It wouldn’t be no different if, you know, when the cops used to give those stickers, Oh, you know, say, Hey Crimestoppers, let us know if you see something right. Speak up. So I can see that there’s going to be some, some benefits, I suppose, to doing that under the correct circumstances. Right. In appropriate circumstances. But what is happening now with the whole so culture, which is not just a coolest say, it’s like, Oh, literally say something mean to me and hurt my feelings.
1 (7m 5s):
Oh, you work for so, so, so, okay. You know, it’s like the whole joke of the, the white girls. I am a white woman in America or something like that. You remember that? I mean, you guys are, you guys gonna see white chicks? That was a, that was a great movie, you know? And, and it was funny. It was a joke. Right? Cause the person’s like, I’m gonna say, I’m gonna write a letter. I’m going to complain. That was like the, probably of the original Karen. Right. And you know, the Wayne brothers made it even funnier. I get it when it comes down to something horrific that someone has done and should be outed for it.
1 (7m 40s):
Right. But just because hurt your feelings on a video that you posted online, that you are now and you decided to tell somebody, cause I’m assuming someone’s holding the phone. Hey, record me while I go off on dad, I’m gonna, I’m gonna probably get him. Can you argue like, dude, what if it was like the perfect moment? Okay, fine. I’ll get, I’ll even give you the perfect moment. Right? So somehow whoever was recording was like, Oh my God, this is a perfect moment to start recording, but okay, fine. Perfect moment. Or intentional either way the video was recorded.
1 (8m 11s):
And then someone decided to say, it’s got a tick, open the app. Boom, boom. It doesn’t take two seconds to upload. Right. It takes more than two seconds. Six more than frickin takes more than 10 minutes. While you think about the hashtags and all that crap. And then you upload and enter the little wheel thing. So it’s not like a, Oh my God. I accidentally uploaded, posted a picture on Instagram, man. I shouldn’t have done that. I was so drunk. It does not how it Tech-Talk works guys. All right. So this person decided I’m going to upload the video, see what I get.
1 (8m 41s):
Right. You’re fishing much like everyone else now, nowadays is fishing online. And she gets a reaction. People start commenting and saying, wow, like you’re not having a conversation with your father that you’re like, Hey, look at us two different individuals. I am in this side. And he is on the other side of the conversation. And we’re having a conversation. It’s something for people to generally take some something away from other than the drama of it. No, it was a look.
1 (9m 12s):
I got him, got him. And it’s like, ah, ha ha, let’s poke fun of him. But then what happens is they poke fun at her or, you know, they, they relieve remarks and she can’t take it. She’s upset. And she started saying, okay, Oh, Oh fine. I’ll go to your boss and start messaging them and go to this and go to this and then go to this one that she posted, check this one out.
3 (9m 34s):
Hi Steven. I was just wondering if there was any reason why you’re a formal correctional officer also, does your Christian, God saving religious wife know that you’ve talked to 22 year old girls? Or is that something I should tell her?
1 (9m 51s):
Okay. You know, so again, I’m not in, I’m not on the side of anybody leaving threats of violence. Okay. Of saying you should get your face smack. You should, you should get beat up. I don’t, I’m not with that. I, you know, I don’t support that. That’s also garbage, you know, as well. But here is someone that leaves a comment, you know, saying the little girl needs to be ne needs the back of a hand across the mouth. Then back then bags packed and sent on her way.
1 (10m 24s):
Okay. So someone maybe I don’t know, more conservative, you know, she deserves to be punished. I don’t know. I wouldn’t, you know, again, I don’t support that, but even he says comment and where she do what she did with the other apparently school teacher, which is I’m going to go look you up, look over everything that you, you, you, you know, you put out there, Oh, and let me go ahead and you know, start spreading, you know, whatever your common, his, or her, her defense to your wife and you know, to wherever else she thinks this is.
1 (10m 57s):
Okay. Right. And by the way, something that she kinda put, put out there saying, I’m a Hunter. I don’t remember if it was this video that I just heard of the last one on a 22 year old, you’re an adult. Like, I don’t know what that number has to do with anything. Like, am I supposed to feel bad at anybody watching these responses to video responses? Are we supposed to feel bad that you are a 22 year old? And there was possibly another grownup kind of like you are supposed to be leaving a comment. You’re not a 16, 14, 15 year old when that happens.
1 (11m 30s):
That’s that’s ridiculous. And I I’ve, I’ve even kind of like lashed out a little bit on what appears to be a grown individual, right? Based on maybe like a profile picture or something or on their content or on their posts, or you would like a 13 year old, 13 year olds, teenagers out there that watch on videos. I’m not, I’m not trying to put you down. I’m just saying I get it. When it comes to separating the arguments you have with another adult that is expected to be a mature individual in society and someone that is still growing up right.
1 (12m 2s):
Still in their teenager years, still maturing. And by the way, a lot of you guys know that and have said, Hey, I’m still learning. I’ve seen a lot of teenagers put out videos. I am surprised at how some of you guys out there are mature. Right. And we’ll take other perspectives. So tip my hat off to you. But anyways, going back to this, this girl here, she’s like, Oh, you’re being mean to a 22 year old and having these conversations and that’s not, I’m not trying to does it. That’s all right. That’s what she was talking.
1 (12m 32s):
It’s not just me saying that. No, I’m just saying, so what did she do? I’m going to go in and look you up and I’m going to go ahead and just send all this information. I’ll tell your wife, you know, and why you bring your religion into this. So if the wife is a religious follower, what are you saying with that? You know, what, what is your point? What are you trying to say? Like if you’re going to have, do a video response, think it out, you know, because let me show you something else.
1 (13m 2s):
You know, the dot E dot V dot 98 that somebody could send to your future employers. But I don’t, why don’t we watch that video real quick
0 (13m 17s):
Because men are trash man.
1 (13m 26s):
Interesting. So this video is much older than the ones that I’ve previously shown you. And you know, in that video, to me, it looks like if this individual is this young lady, and by the way, she puts posted another video, which I didn’t, I didn’t get where she’s like, Hey, I’m the college graduate? And I have this, I want to say she went as far as saying something in psychology or something like that. Right? So she is hopefully a well educated young lady, right? That one day we’ll have hopefully a good employment. It will probably have subordinates under her and she’ll be managing them.
1 (13m 59s):
Interesting. How, if potentially she will, one day, whether without reason want to discipline a subordinate of hers, that happens to be a man that that person might be like, Oh, is it because as it goes, I’m a man or I use discipline. You need because of a man. And she might be like, no, I’m not, no, I’m not Bob. What do you mean? And you’re like, but I thought you say we’re trash. No. When did I say that, Bob? Oh, well here, it looks like a year ago, two years ago, three years ago.
1 (14m 30s):
Right? Whenever this could happen, you know what? I’m going to have to forward this to the company owner. And then perhaps to every future employer, you might have saying that men are trash. You know, all of them, you know, would that be fair? Of course not. That’s not what I’m. I don’t want you to start going left in the year and say, Oh my God. So see your support now, of course, I’m not, I’m not saying that’s what should happen. I’m saying that is kind of what’s happened now, right? Where people are going back and grabbing something that someone said and transforming it to whatever fits their narrative in that moment.
1 (15m 6s):
Right. She is saying that, you know, in, in the video, when it starts, you’re saying they, you know, they say drunk words are sober thoughts, which to her, against her, it’s like also, this is how you feel. Feel men are trash. Okay. No, that’s not how I see it. I see someone that found an old video of themselves and it’s like, Ooh, this is going to be a real good tech talk, hold on, edit her video, uploaded it. And it’s like, okay, let’s see how many views I get not understanding that. Well, first of all, you’re putting yourself in the position that in the future, going by your own, your own criteria of, you know, searching people on search social media and then using that against them.
1 (15m 48s):
But that’s the problem with this council culture, right? The problem is that we put things out there. Social media has allowed us to open up ourselves right farther than our immediate circle, right. A immediate community that we have and how, how am I allowed us to connect? But individuals have now ran and not just this today, not just yesterday, not just this week or this year, but for a while now have run wild when they saw maybe that one example that I gave you earlier of someone that needed right.
1 (16m 24s):
To be canceled. And you tell him what he needed. Well, again, that’s going to be that we can be here all night, but someone that hypothetically, we both agree needed to be counseled because that individual did something heinous, something just crazy. I don’t know. We found out the guy was, was selling drugs to children or something crazy. And you’re like that guy, Oh my God, I got used to be in prison. That kind of counsel. Okay. And eventually someone’s like, okay, well, if that got counseled for selling drugs, what if I find someone that was selling candy?
1 (16m 56s):
And then what if I find someone that was selling, I dunno, rip off, you know, brand clothing. And it’s like, and then how, as far those, the rabbit hole, Google to the point where we’re like, I’m sorry, what’d you say your good luck having a job tomorrow? And it’s like, dude, we’re brothers. It’s like, we’re related. What are you doing? Well, well, you shouldn’t have said that. Okay. Bob and canceled because one, we also believe that will, we can counsel you.
1 (17m 30s):
We can on cancel. Right. And yeah. That’s a thing by the way. Or you saw people. Oh yeah, yeah. That’s the thing. And canceling by the way, it’s a ridiculous, absurd. How selective it is. I love Robbie Downey jr. I really do. And I really hope that this video does nothing for, for anything against Robert, Donald jr. But Robert Downey jr. Did blackface. You’re in, everybody’s like, Oh, iron man, Tony stark would never do that. Take it back. I’m gonna counsel you.
1 (18m 1s):
He did Tropic thunder. I don’t know when the movie came out like 2000 and something two than six, seven, eight. I don’t know. Maybe you didn’t later tell them 10. I don’t know. Look it up full blackface. Not just like one scene, not just like ha maybe like a weird thing in the movie that was like, pretend seconds. No, no full blown. Maybe I want an hour and a half movie. The joke inside of the movies that he’s doing black face and he’s not black. There’s another black guy saying that he has actually a black saying like, what do you mean you people, you know, no one did anything.
1 (18m 36s):
Oh, because there’s our DJ. And while he’s iron man, fucking say those from phenols dude, you know, like you’re going to counsel the already DJ, move on, move on, move on to Jimmy Kim. Okay. Move on to someone else. Salsa elective. And I know I’m not the only one that thinks like this. I know this video will not be unpopular because I know there’s plenty. I’ve seen plenty of people that are also tired of it. Hell I can be canceled right now. They’re gonna be like, we’re canceling you for cat, trying to council the council canceled and I’m done.
1 (19m 9s):
And now all of a sudden they can go to anybody, to my employer, to my wife who was sitting here the entire time. Like, did you know your husband was on camera, trying to counsel people with a woman? Well, you, we can’t prove it to you. He can’t prove as the wife and in the honor council. It’s ridiculous. Again, I just gave you one example and you can say, well that maybe that’s just that one girl, you know, she’s this and she’s that. Sure. I mean, I’m also not going to sit here and give you a hundred examples for the three of you that stay until the end of this video.
1 (19m 45s):
And you know, we’re going to discuss here, you know, all these hundreds of examples when they exist, it, all it takes is going into any social media, you know, to see how fast people want to. Just as soon as their feelings get hurt, as soon as you disagree with someone, they can’t take it. They want to put themselves out there. They want to have social media. They want to have all these opinions. But at the moment they have something that, you know, instead against them that, Oh, Whoa shit though. I was feeling, since I hurt, give me my phone.
1 (20m 17s):
Someone gave me a laptop. You can’t, that’s not the real world. And I hope that someone, even if it’s one person out there that’s used for canceling right now is like, I do cancel that. I shouldn’t be doing that. I do cancel that. Police, somebody, somebody needs to tell you that you need to grow up, that you need to mature because going out there trying to voice, I have, you’re a quiet individual. You don’t really say a lot. You’re just kinda there, you know, spectating the whole thing.
1 (20m 47s):
Like, okay. Seeing the trends, you know? And you’re like, Ooh, let’s catch up. They canceled him. Okay. Right here. Let me just actually show you how in my head you look Muslim. Not you though. The guy. Okay. Watch this.
0 (21m 20s):
Goodness. damn
1 (21m 53s):
Okay. That, that girl, by the way, was ready to counsel with a tape measure. If you don’t understand kind of like what’s happening in the video. I do. Cause I saw the comments. I saw the video a few times, essentially the girl in the back with a tape measure yelling, right? She’s a little upset. She walked over to the lady here, you see recording herself. And I, as allegedly asked her, like you do move farther back. She was out there with a tape measuring saying like, you need to be this many feet apart from each other. And from us kind of like out there being like the COVID police, right?
1 (22m 27s):
The distance police, the lady recording herself as I get away, what are you crazy? Like you’re way over there. And you can see that’s more than six feet. To me that looks more than 60. Between the, where the woman is recording herself and the young lady that I’m using her vocal chords. Right. You know? Yes. She can be ill. Yes. I can see any reference to that. I wouldn’t have used a video. If I saw that someone posted a K this individual has some kind of problems. I would enough.
1 (22m 58s):
All right. I’m not here to poke fun. And I would not poke fun at someone that has severe mental issues. Right. Or some kind of problem. And they’re having a nervous breakdown. I mean, at this point it looks like she was, but nothing indicated. And I always dig deep as deep as I reasonably can. Okay. She is individual, an individual that went over and basically said, you need to move then the other person’s like, dude, you move what’s up coming to us. And what are you doing? Approaching us. Right. Oh, it takes all her tape measure.
1 (23m 30s):
What does that tell me? That tells me that that’s someone that say we’re going to go to the beach, grab the towel and give him a tape measure. And no, one’s like, I’m sorry, Matilda. What do you need? They take 10 minutes over because we’re going to go right now and we’ll go the beach or the Lake or where the hell they are. If I see someone just give me that, got them to get me to do that. Okay. And now the dad board has that. Literally, literally, if you didn’t see, carry her while she’s like throwing her fricking feet around, you can hurt someone with the tape measure, young lady and she’s upset.
1 (24m 1s):
Right. And according to the video you just heard, and if you don’t speak Spanish, the woman recording herself as like, you know, someone said, and she’s a nurse. So it is believed that she walked over and she’s like, and I’m a nurse even to be this many feet from each other. Is she a nurse? I hope not. Jesus Christ. Because again, someone else that we should also do, it is the nurses and doctors are out there. That’s a stressful job. Right? That’s something, most people don’t comply with you. So if she’s having breakdowns like this, Oh wow.
1 (24m 31s):
But anyhow, that’s kind of what people, well, online to me sound like when they’re counseling, you know, they see something someone’s like, no, thank you. Even if they say something mean like fuck off. And they’re like, what? You know, they just like, you know, like, you know, losing their shit like this, but online, not, it’s not public like, like this girl, but just online and in tagging and sending it because you didn’t get your way.
1 (25m 2s):
Let’s wait when y’all need to have more conscience of that. You and I, the sane ones hopefully. And you can say, well, all you’re saying you’re canceled. Yes. I believe I’m saying, so counsel me all you want. Because unlike some people I’ve been on social media for a long time and I have never gone out there or gone any boat to counsel anyone. You’re going to give me facts. If you even want me to remotely support your counsel, which I have not because every single time I’ve seen someone getting canceled. It’s it’s so divisive.
1 (25m 33s):
And even the comments within itself with people saying, yeah, we should counsel him like for this, but not for that. And then someone was like, how dare you for not counseling for both things. And someone quickly that comes to mind, just to give you an example. The one at somebody that’s famous that got canceled, Kevin Hart, Kevin Hart was going to host something. I remember even when he was in a host, he got counseled because he used to have a joke years ago that, you know, people are like, Hey, that’s, that’s homophobic. Right? It’s to tell your kids not to play with dogs. I was gay. And it was like funny back then, like 10 years ago. But it’s no longer funny now.
1 (26m 4s):
And we should counsel. You demand how to come out multiple times to apologize. And when he came out this time, when he, they either were counseling, they’re all, he’s like, I’m done. I go, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I said that joke. I already said, sorry. And it’s like, when do, when do I get redemption is not like I killed a kid. It’s not like I did something like a massacre or something again, that will be completely heinous and horrible. He apologized for a joke that now into, by today’s standards is not okay. But no, the mobs went out.
1 (26m 35s):
The moms are like, no, but he’d done this. And then if he did anything else, by the way, which I didn’t catch. But if he had anything else, jokes, even remotely close to council criteria, well fine. We’ll forgive you for the gauge, but we’re not going to forgive you for this joke. It’s it’s getting out of control. It’s how you’re going to lose any type of potential positive narrative that you can have. Right? If any of you guys are out there, you’re like, well, JT, sometimes it needs to be done for this. You’re going to lose it. You need to stop dropping off the people that are like, cancel, cancel, cancel, cancel.
1 (27m 8s):
And you know this, owning the mumbles and say, no, that, that guy right there who just counseled this and that and back and has a history he’s out. It’s not different. And individuals, I try to Sue for every little thing that people know as like, Oh, you’re, you’re one of those guys. That’s like, if we serve you four ice cubes, instead of three, you’re going to Sue us. Right. And people think that that’s that guy’s crazy. He’s a punk. He’s this let’s get rid of him. Right. Same, same Dean. You lose the momentum, the power of what you’re trying to do.
1 (27m 40s):
So that was it for today. Do what you may with that, you know, I hope, and I think the vast majority as a girl, this audience is going to agree with me because I’m not telling you anything that I don’t think doesn’t make sense. Right. And I always tell you guys, I usually run it by a few people. You know, these are my thoughts. What do you think? I respect the circles that I move in and know that just doesn’t include my wife. I talked to other people outside of my wife, you know? And I’m like, Hey, you know, am I wrong with this? You know, what do you think?
1 (28m 10s):
And you know, I’ll get some, some feedback, you know? And it’s like, yeah, you know, a lot of people are just done with it. They’re just tired of all that, that whole toxic crap, you know, but what happens is, and unfortunately it gains momentum. But what I want you to understand is if you are a part of that crowd, you are going to say something that you can be counseled for later. And then maybe you, shouldn’t why, because it is unfortunate that we don’t understand that we are born. And then throughout life, we just change. We mature, we evolve.
1 (28m 41s):
And just because you said something 30 years ago, that was a mildly offensive. You shouldn’t be just counseled and not doesn’t apply to someone that said something horrific, outright, you know, big it and races.
