'I just don't buy this' after Obama acknowledges the 'dangers' of cancel culture

now um i must say that um i was talking to tim and the team and jack of course who run digital here at scotty's very successful doing very well for us and they were telling me that she's paul this is interesting um there's we've started to get a lot of downloads of sky news podcasts in martha's vineyard in the united states and then we're getting a lot from chicago as well and i couldn't work it out well it seems that the former president of the united states barack obama is a passionate listener to sky news podcast we understand he's even got a vpn so he can get access to foxtel go so addicted easy to the common sense here that now he is talking against cancel culture i i i thought that and and at least in conversations with my daughter i think that um a lot of the dangers of cancer culture and you know we're just going to be condemning people all the time at least among my daughters that they'll acknowledge that sometimes among their peer group or in college campuses you know you'll see folks going overboard but they have a pretty good sense of of look we don't want we don't expect everybody to be perfect we don't expect everybody to be politically correct all the time but we are going to call out institutions or individuals if they are being cruel corey who knew barry was a fan well i if you believe him if you believe it i mean i'm almost lost for words this is was the race baiter in chief when he was uh president of course he fueled the black lives matter movement he tried to uh uh you know destroy the police and and attack everyone on the base of race if you criticized him of course you're a racist if you raise questions about anything that he did you're a racist i um i just don't buy this i think his kids are probably more balanced i think they've had a a reasonably um liberal upbringing and they've experienced some of the more interesting sides of life and that means that maybe just maybe they realize how crazy the world is going and barack obama thinks well okay they might have a point who knows do you think that do you think that uh uh michelle and barack sit there on the big screen watching the friday showdown and you know michelle's backing in nicholas but barry's backing you in reader no i don't buy any of this nonsense at all i am not buying it but there is a little bit of uh you know self-solving rhetoric there because yeah he has been a fairly big enthusiast of cancer culture but he knows i think he's smart enough to know that they will come for him eventually he has said plenty of stuff that just doesn't hold up with these woke craziness that's taking part taking place now you know even he doesn't pass those purity tests that they're pushing so uh perhaps yeah there's a bit of self-interest there that eventually they'll come for me i haven't been as as pure as they would like or he's just you know saying this stuff to to make himself seem like he's he's in the center when as corey said he was one of the first to push this really divisive race rhetoric
