Summary

This week I’m joined by PragerU personality Xaviaer DuRousseau. Xaviaer is an ex-BLM activist who now uses his platform to educate viewers on politics, and cultural issues as a PragerU Personality. We spoke about why some celebrities are forced to endorse Kamala Harris, Xaviaer’s time undercover for a “Free Palestinian” encampment on UCLA’s campus, misperceptions about Israel, the insidious re-emergence of anti-semisim, the necessity for an informed and educated public, and geopolitical politics and the link between China and fentanyl. Xaviaer also discussed his short documentary, “Their Lives Mattered,” that exposes the heartbreaking reality of inner-city children caught in the crossfire of violent crime as a result of de-policing policies and district attorneys who let repeat offenders back on the street. Xaviaer also reflected on how contrasting social environments shaped his early views on race and identity. He spoke about his college years embracing woke ideology, and his experiences as a social justice warrior in California. While watching PragerU videos with the intention of finding weaknesses in their arguments, Xaviaer realized he was wrong about almost everything, ultimately having an entire ideological shift.

Like imagine your entire world shattering that you built for yourself.

0:03.5

It was ugly.

0:04.5

I left college a little early because I moved out to Northern California.

0:08.0

And as I moved out there, I became even more woke.

0:10.5

Because now I'm in the center of just woke ideology living right outside of San Francisco.

0:15.5

So then I decided I was going to go in this whole mission of debunking a whole series of prayer you videos. So I started studying the counter arguments from an objective standpoint without confirmation

0:25.6

bias for the first time and I was mortified. I just kept debunking every single narrative I ever believed in.

0:32.6

I thought of every single person I argued with marching for George Floyd and all of this mess just to

0:38.7

figure out I was wrong about everything. They have convinced these kids. If you are a part of any of

0:43.9

these marginalized groups, you need to be against Israel. I look at these groups and I'm like,

0:49.3

you guys are so misled. What it really came down to is I knew I was never going to be able to look myself

0:55.0

in the mirror and be proud of myself if I went and just sacrifice my values.

Xavier de Rousseau. Welcome to my podcast.

1:07.0

Thank you for having me.

1:08.0

This should be fun. I heard you got into trouble very recently

1:13.1

with a Beyonce crowd. How did that happen? So there I was minding my business as per usual.

1:19.5

And I was on Fox with Bryce Hall. And we were just talking about why so many people in Gen Z,

1:24.3

especially people in L.A. are waking up. And I truly did not see this question coming,

1:29.0

but Trace Gallagher asked me about how I felt with Beyonce going and speaking on behalf of Kamala Harris.

1:34.9

Yeah. And I just start laughing to myself and thinking, I just saw a tweet before I came here

1:40.5

about how Beyonce's album is nowhere to be seen on the charts, even though it came out this year.

1:44.9

So I said, maybe Beyonce should be more focused on keeping her albums on the charts rather
