1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,680 Speaker 1: So how woke is two woke? Many companies are now 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,720 Speaker 1: trying to figure that out, especially after the demise of Disney, 3 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: because so many conservatives stopped visiting their parks and stopped 4 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: doing business with them and canceled Disney. Plus, now the 5 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 1: CEO that is extremely open and woke has now exited 6 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 1: the building. The former Disney CEO, Bob Eager, has returned 7 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: to the CEO who was also a very woke guy, 8 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: except he was a little bit more quiet about his wokeness. 9 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: In a statement Sunday night, the chairman of Disney's board 10 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: of directors announced that the CEO was stepping down from 11 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 1: his position as head of the company and the former 12 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: CEO would be returning from retirement to take back the 13 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: reins as they then try to find a new CEO. 14 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: They went on to say, hey, we think Bob for 15 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: his service to Disney Disney over his long career, including 16 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: navigating the coming through the unprecedented challenges of the pandemic. 17 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: Still refusing to admit that their big problems are actually 18 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: coming from families that are walking away from Disney, they 19 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 1: went on to say, the board is concluded that a Disney. 20 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:15,119 Speaker 1: As Disney embarks on an increasingly complex period of industry transformation. 21 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: It's time for us to bring back our old CEO, 22 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: situated at the lead of the company through this pivotal period. 23 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: The Hollywood Reporter also went on to say that the 24 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: current CEO are now The ex current CEO has exited 25 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: after signing a multiyear contract in June, despite a turbulent 26 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: year of leadership during which he plunged the company deep 27 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: into woke politics by opposing Florida's anti groomer law that 28 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: barred teachers from discussing sexuality with third graders. And this 29 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: is where it went off the rails for Disney. Now, 30 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: the move proved disastrous for Disney, and they really realized that, yeah, 31 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: this was dumb. Over the last six months, what happened 32 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: the state of Florida strip Disney of its special tax 33 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: jurisdiction that essentially allowed it to function like a city government. 34 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: On the content front, Disney also took to political posturing 35 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: even further than before, whether it was casting a trans 36 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: non binary actress in Marvel's Ironheart or including a same 37 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: sex kiss and a children's movie like Buzz Lightyear, which 38 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: bombed at the box office after it was exposed and 39 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: the Disney brand became so undeniably toxic in the last 40 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: several months that the company's bottom line fell outright from 41 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,119 Speaker 1: under it, leading to massive layoffs, drops and stock prices, 42 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: an overall negative employee morale quote. Disney's corporate earnings disappointed 43 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: walls streets, sending its stock crashing to new lows. Now, 44 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: the entertainment giant is reportedly planning layoffs, a targeted hiring freeze, 45 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: and travel limitations on its employees, and a letter to employees, 46 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: the Disney CEO or now x CEO, said that the 47 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: company will make tough and uncomfortable decisions, as he put it, saying, 48 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: I'm fully aware this is a difficult process for many 49 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: of you and your teams. We are going to have 50 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: to make tough and uncomfortable decisions, but that is just 51 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: what leadership requires, and I thank you in advance for 52 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: stepping up during this important time. That guy who wrote 53 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: that now out serving less than a year. Now Eager 54 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: will reportedly serve as CEO of Disney for another two 55 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: years to set the strategic direction for renewed growth and 56 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: to give the stock some stability as a new successor develops. 57 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: That according to the board's announcement on Sunday evening. He 58 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: went on to say, I'm extremely optimistic for the future 59 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: this great company and thrilled to be asked by the 60 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: board to return as its CEO. Now, Disney employees are 61 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: reportedly in a state of confusion over the company's plan 62 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: to also move two thousand workers to Florida from California, 63 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: as they are blaming the CEO for the chaos, and 64 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: that was part of the reason why apparently they said 65 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: audios to him on Sunday night. Now, to be clear, 66 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: Disney knows exactly what got them into the situation that 67 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 1: they are in. They know that the CEO went all 68 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: woke and he tried to be blunt and out front. 69 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: The media also knew that they could get Disney to 70 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: get really woke, and a perfect example of this is 71 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: when CNN's Jake Tapper actually said to Stacy Abrams as 72 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: she was running for governor in Georgia, quote, should companies 73 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: like Disney and Netflix pull their businesses from Georgia if 74 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: abortion restrictions go into effect in those states? Something that 75 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: Disney jumped all in on going woke as a company. 76 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: Take a listen a businesses such as Disney and Netflix 77 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: have expressed their opposition to the so called Heartbeat abortion 78 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: band in Georgia when it was pasted in twenty nineteen. 79 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: Do you think those company should pull their businesses from 80 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: Georgia when and if this abortion restriction goes into effect. 81 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: Let's be clear, this abortion restriction, this extreme ban, will 82 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: take effect in a matter of days. The Attorney General 83 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: and the governor have already gone to the eleventh Circuit 84 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: to ask for the state to be lifted. I would 85 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: tell every single business and every single woman that they 86 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: should do what is best for the women who work 87 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 1: for them. They need to make certain that they are 88 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,799 Speaker 1: accommodating the very real healthcare challenges that will face women 89 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 1: in the state of Georgia. It is my hope that 90 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: we will be able to reverse this law by passing 91 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: new legislation in twenty twenty three, because we also know 92 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: that Brian Kemp intends to make it even more difficult 93 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: for women. He intends to add incest and rape as prohibitions. 94 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: He has already broken our healthcare system by refusing to 95 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: expand Medicaid, and Georgia already has one of the highest 96 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: maternal mortality rates in the nation. So you hear that 97 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: all of what Stacey Abram said and is not going 98 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 1: to become true because she lost that election to Brian 99 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: Kemp in Georgie. But you can see how it was 100 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: very simple and very clear that the liberal laugh was 101 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: trying to use Disney as the reason to pretty much 102 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: justify anything. All right, real quick, let me pause and 103 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: tell you about our incredible friends over at Patriot Mobile. 104 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:23,559 Speaker 1: They are America's only Christian conservative cell phone provider.

Now, why do you want to switch. 119 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: When you do, they actually stand up for First and 120 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: Second Amendment rights, and they give a portion of your 121 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: bill every month back to conservative Christian causes that we 122 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: all believe in. So, if you're ready to support a 123 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: company that's fighting to preserve our God given rights and 124 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: our freedoms, just go to Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson. 125 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: That's Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson, or you can 126 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: call them nine seven to Patriot.

Now, there was also mocking that took place 132 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: this summer. Mayor Pete said, if Rubio referring to Marco Rubio, 133 00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: who also won reelection in Florida, has time to fight Disney, 134 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: then why wouldn't he have time to safeguard help safeguard 135 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: same sex marriage, again putting Disney in the center of 136 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: a political storm. It's still clear if there are ten 137 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: Senate Republicans willing to support it. Republican Senator Rubio told 138 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: my colleague Maniaju, he's going to vote no, and he 139 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: called the vote a quote stupid waste of time. What's 140 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: your reaction on that? What's your message to Senate Republicans? 141 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: If he's got time to fight against Disney, I don't 142 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: know why he wouldn't have time to help safeguard marriages 143 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: like mine. Look, this is really really important to a 144 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: lot of people. It's certainly important to me. I started 145 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: my day as I try to do on weekends. I 146 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 1: tried to give chast In a little bit of a 147 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: break and do breakfast with both of our twins. And 148 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: that alone, that's no small thing, As every parent of 149 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: small kids knows. It was one of those days where 150 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: the trade table wasn't quite fitting into the high chair, 151 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: and I'm trying to make sure that they're busy enough 152 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: with their cereal puffs to give me enough time to 153 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: chop up the banana and get the formula ready, and 154 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: it just I don't know. That half hour of my 155 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: morning had me thinking about how much I depend on 156 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: and count on my spouse every day, and our marriage 157 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: deserves to be treated equally. And I don't know why 158 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: this would be hard for a senator or a congressman. 159 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: I don't understand how such a majority of House Republicans 160 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 1: voted no on our marriage. As recently as Tuesday, hours 161 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: after I was in a room with a lot of 162 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: them talking about transportation policy, having what I thought were 163 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: perfectly normal conversations with many of them on that subject, 164 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: only for them to go around the corner and say 165 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: that my marriage doesn't deserve to continue. If they don't 166 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: want to spend a lot of time on this, they 167 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 1: can vote yes and move on, and that would be 168 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: really reassuring for a lot of families around America, including mine. 169 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: Mayor Pete there saying in Frebio has got time to 170 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,839 Speaker 1: fight Disney, then why and you have time to help 171 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 1: safeguard same sex marriage referring to codifying same sex marriage, 172 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: and Rubio said, look, it's a waste of time. I'm 173 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: not worried about it. He has won reelection. Mayor Pete 174 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: obviously in shock again Disney getting in the middle of 175 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: that conversation. Now, this all goes back to Disney going 176 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: totally woke and not backing down. And it all happened 177 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: when they started to fight in Florida, Governor de Santis, 178 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: and also all came to a head when they had 179 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: their internal calls reimagining Tomorrow at Disney that came out. 180 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: When those came out, those recordings of their massive call 181 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,959 Speaker 1: that they had about reimagining Tomorrow, saying we are going 182 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: to be a propaganda filled company, there were many conservatives 183 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: that finally said enough. Perfect example of that is a 184 00:10:55,280 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: Disney executive producer saying she identifies as a biomanta a 185 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: sexual and she's so happy to work at Disney so 186 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: she can have others like her have a voice and 187 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: indoctrinating your kids. And let me remind you of Disney, 188 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,719 Speaker 1: and I want you to remind you of the workers, 189 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: the the leaders, I should say, not the workers, the 190 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: leaders of the company who are still all there right now, 191 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: these executives doing they're reimagining tomorrow event earlier this year, 192 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: and this is what one does. The executive had to say, Yeah, 193 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: I identify as like a bi romantic a sexual. I've 194 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: had a lot of learning and growing about myself this year, 195 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: kind of facilitated by how comfortable I felt on the 196 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: Proud Family and with my immedia team at Disney TVA. 197 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: And so it's just sort of like this creative dissonance 198 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: between my personal experience where I feel so safe and 199 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: so supported. I mean like I wasn't like in the closet, 200 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: but like I'm real out now, but like and like 201 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: outside of my team, outside of TVA. It's just it 202 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 1: feels like the things that we believe that we're trying 203 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: to put into the shows are not what we're seeing 204 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: in the real world. And yeah, it leaves you in 205 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: a weird space. I'm still thinking, like I want to 206 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: use my content to like go deeper, like talk about 207 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 1: how non monnolithic the LGBTQ plus community as an asexual 208 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 1: ass an a sexual Like it's just like I feel 209 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: like a lot of people don't know what that is. 210 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: I have to, like how a dissertation ready at any 211 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: given time. I want to like add the pockets of 212 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: the LGBTQ community that you don't see. I was like, 213 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: I want to get like gay Advanced, and then I realized, like, oh, 214 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: we need to go back to like gay one oh one. 215 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: Like so it's like, I I want to get back 216 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: to gay advance Oh blank, I want to get back 217 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: to gay I got to get back to gay one 218 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: oh one to let people understand who I am what 219 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: I am. Now, that's just one of the employees at Disney. 220 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 1: We also go back to the Disney City who lied 221 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 1: about what actually was being said with the don't Say 222 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 1: Gay bill as they tried to describe it in Florida, 223 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: which is not what the bill said at all. All 224 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: the bill said was don't talk to my third grade 225 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: or second grade or first grader or kid in kindergarten 226 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: about all these sexual exploits and all these sexual issues. 227 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 1: In other words, it should be a parental choice, not 228 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: the school indoctrinating my kid. And the former Disney CEO 229 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: who's now coming back as the CEO, if you think 230 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: he's going to change course to the company, you're wrong. 231 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: How do I know this? This is what he had 232 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: to say when he was the x former CEO of Disney, 233 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,959 Speaker 1: now coming back as a current CEO. This is what 234 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: Bob had to say in an interview on CNN. A 235 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: lot of these issues are not necessarily political. It's about 236 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: right and wrong. So I happen to feel and I 237 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: tweeted an opinion about these don't Say Gay bill in Florida. 238 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: To me, it wasn't politics, it was what this right 239 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: and what is wrong, and that just seemed wrong. It 240 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 1: seemed potentially harmful to kids. When you're dealing with right 241 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 1: and wrong, or when you're dealing with something that does 242 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: have a profound impact on your business, then I just 243 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: think you'd have to do what is right and not 244 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: worry about the potential backlash to it. Not worry about 245 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: the potential backlash to it. So if you think that 246 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: Disney is learning from what they have done, you're wrong. 247 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: That was the former CEO, now the current CEO who 248 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: just replaced the other CEO. Yes, it sounds like a 249 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: lot of drama, because that's exactly what all of this is. 250 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: You have to go back to the employees. Disney's diversity 251 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: and inclusion manager. She came out talking and this is 252 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: still what they're doing, saying, we've eliminated all mentions of 253 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls and theme parks because 254 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: we don't want to assume anyone's gender. Last summer, we 255 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: removed all of the gendered greetings and relationship to our 256 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: life still, so we no longer say ladies and gentlemen, 257 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: boys and girls. We've trained, we've provided training for all 258 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: of our cast members in relationship to that, So now 259 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: they know it's it's hello everyone, or hello friends. We 260 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: are in the process of changing over those those recorded messages, 261 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: and so many of you are probably familiar. When we 262 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: brought the fireworks back to the Magic Kingdom. We no 263 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: longer say ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. We say 264 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: dreamers of all ages. And so I love the fact 265 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: that it's opened up the creativity, the opportunity for our 266 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: cast members to look at that we have our cast 267 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: members working with merchandise, working with food and beverage, working 268 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: with all of our guests, facing areas where perhaps you know, 269 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: we want to create that magical moment with our cast 270 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: members with our guests, and we don't want to just 271 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: assume because someone might be in our interpretation maybe presenting 272 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: this female that they may not want to be called princess. 273 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: So let's think differently about how do we really engage 274 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: with our guests in a meaningful and inclusive way that 275 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: makes it magical and memorable for everyone. So to be queer, 276 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: what she's saying is just because a mom and a 277 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: dad dress up a little girl as a princess the park, 278 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: don't tell her she's a beautiful princess, that's not what 279 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: we do. And then you have the Disney corporate presidents. Carrie, 280 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: her name is Carrie, Carrie Burke is still the Disney 281 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: corporate president, still going to be working under the guy 282 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: who attacked Florida and tweets about the Don't Say Gay bill, 283 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: as he described even though that they were gay wasn't 284 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: even in the bill. They just lied about it. And 285 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: the Santis defended it and did the right thing. But 286 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: if you think the Disney is learning from their mistakes, 287 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: they're not. She's still in charge. She wants you to 288 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: know that she's a mother of two queer children. As 289 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: she describes it, Listen, I'm here as a mother of 290 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: two queer children, actually one transgender child and one pan 291 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: sexual child, and also as a leader. One of our 292 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: execs stood up and said, you know, we only have 293 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: a handful of queer leads in our content. And I went, 294 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: what that can't be true, and I and I and 295 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: I realized, oh, it actually is true. We have many, many, 296 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 1: many lgbt QIA characters in our stories, and yet we 297 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 1: don't have enough leads. We don't have enough leads. So 298 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: we're going to change that. We're going to make sure 299 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: that we have a whole bunch of leads that are gay, right, 300 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: And she says she supports having many, many lgbt qi 301 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: A characters in our stories, because that's what this is 302 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: all about. I'm here as a mother of two queer children, 303 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: and she wants to remind you that she is here 304 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: as a mother of two queer children. And I realized, Oh, 305 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: it actually is true. We have many, many, many lgbt 306 00:17:54,960 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: QIA characters in our stories, and yet we don't have 307 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: enough leads. So we got to change that, folks, We 308 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: got to make sure that we change the number of 309 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: leads so that we are purposely putting out propaganda to 310 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 1: make sure that your children are indoctrinated by Disney. So 311 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 1: when you put them in front of the TV, when 312 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: you take them to the parks, you're going to be 313 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 1: really excited about what we bring you. We had a 314 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 1: Disney production coordinator that said his team actually created a 315 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 1: tracker to make sure they create enough gender non conforming characters. 316 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: This is what Disney is going to continue to do, 317 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: So don't be fooled by their new old CEO coming 318 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: back in space. Yeah. I've had the privilege of working 319 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: with the Moon Girl team for the last two years 320 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: and that they've been really open to exploring queer stories. 321 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: And part of I'm on the production side, part of 322 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: the work that I feel like I can put in 323 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: is making sure that we take place in modern day 324 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: New York, so make sure that that's like an accurate 325 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: reflection of New York. So I put together like a 326 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: tracker of our background characters to make sure that we 327 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: have like the full breadth of expression, and we got 328 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 1: into a very similar conversation carry of like, oh, all 329 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:19,239 Speaker 1: of our gender nonconforming characters are in the background, and 330 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 1: so it's not just a numbers game of how many 331 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 1: LGBTQ plus characters you have. We got the further the 332 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 1: more centered a story is on a character, the more 333 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: nuanced you get to get into their story. And especially 334 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: with like trans characters, you can't see if someone is trans. 335 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 1: There's not one way to look trans, and so kind 336 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: of the only way to have these like canonical trans characters, 337 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: canonical asexual characters, canonical bisexual characters, is to give them 338 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 1: stories where they can like be their whole selves, be 339 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: their whole selves. If you think for a moment that 340 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: Disney is backing down or that they have learned their lesson. Note, 341 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,479 Speaker 1: because all the people that I just played for you 342 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: are still at the company and still in charge of 343 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: the content. And the former CEO, who is the one 344 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: that came out really going after Florida, is now back 345 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: being the CEO all over again. Now, before I get 346 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: into more of this story, I want to say thank 347 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: you and tell you about our good friends at Legacy 348 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: Precious Medals.

If you're terrified to look 357 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 1: at your retirement account, your four one case statement because 358 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: of what's happening on Wall Street, that's all the more 359 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: reason why you should call get the investors got in 360 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 1: gold and silver, protect your hard earned money and diversify. 361 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: Call them and get the free Investor's Guide from Legacy 362 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:12,479 Speaker 1: Precious Medals one eight six six seven five one twenty 363 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: two eighteen one eight six six seven five one twenty 364 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: two eighteen or online at Legacy PM investments dot com. 365 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: So before you go shopping and you buy all your 366 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 1: gifts with Black Friday and Cyber Monday, just remember Disney 367 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: has not changed. You have an opportunity to stand up 368 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 1: to a company that wants to indoctrinate your children and 369 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: also is attacking every conservative and evangelical Christian in this country, 370 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: any person of faith. Now you may say, well, Ben, 371 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: that's an awful bold statement to be making. All right, 372 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:56,159 Speaker 1: let me back it up. Disney's activism partner Nadine Smith 373 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: had this to say on the CEO corporate wide call 374 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 1: called Walt Disney's Reimagining Tomorrow. Listen carefully to what she 375 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 1: has to say about the GOP coverage. But the context 376 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 1: is also who is pushing it, what their record is, 377 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: and what the history is in Florida. You know, you 378 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: can go back to the fifties to the John's Committee, 379 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: where the legislature was actively put together a task force 380 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 1: whose whole job was to root out civil rights workers 381 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: and any homosexuals in the university system and destroyed lives literally, 382 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: people committed suicide behind the relentless attack. And then you 383 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 1: have Anita Bryant, and many of us are of an 384 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: age to remember a Nita Bryant Save Our Children campaign 385 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: which was premised on the same the same ideas that 386 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: undergird this bill. And because of her campaign that it 387 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: equated being gay with being a child predator, she was 388 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 1: able to pass a ban on gay people being able 389 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: to opt a marriage fan and then she took that nationwide. 390 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: And so when we react to this, a lot of 391 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 1: us are reacting from the pain we experience of being 392 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: isolated and stigmatized in school. We're also reacting from the 393 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: reality that when they can erase you, when they can 394 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: criminalize your existence, when they can demonize who you are, 395 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: the next step is to criminalize you and take your kids. 396 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: And we're already seeing that in Texas. So the slippery 397 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: slope between these ugly messages emanating from legislative leaders in 398 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: our state and then amplified by our governor, who spokesperson 399 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:43,120 Speaker 1: immediately began calling everyone who opposed this bill Groomer's aka pedophiles. 400 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: By the way, that's not true. That's a lie. But 401 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 1: you know who cares if you're telling the truth. You're 402 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 1: lying now if you're a Democrat. That who Disney brought in. 403 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 1: And that is what she had to say about conservatives 404 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: and Republicans saying that immediately we were claiming that anyone 405 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: that was gay is some sort of groom or a pedophile. 406 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: That's not what was said. The bill had nothing to 407 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: do with this. The bill never said the word gay 408 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 1: in it. What do they do? They lied, and they 409 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: went after the Santis and they lost, and now conservatives 410 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: have stood up to them, thank goodness, and it started 411 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: to hurt their bottom line. But this Christmas, they're hoping 412 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: that immediately having this last minute replacement of a CEO, 413 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: that that's gonna change how you look at them, that 414 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: it's gonna make you say, okay, let's take our kids 415 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 1: to Disney. It's gonna make you say, okay, they've learned 416 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 1: their lesson. Now we can go back to business as usual. 417 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: The CEO who is now in charge, the same former 418 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,360 Speaker 1: CEO of Disney that started this entire war and started 419 00:24:53,400 --> 00:25:01,199 Speaker 1: going after and attacking conservatives, parents and the Republican Party 420 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: in Florida. Their war is not over against us. Make 421 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 1: that clear, okay. Their war is just begun, and their 422 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: war is to indoctrinate your children and have many many 423 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 1: many many, many many many more lgbt qi A figures. 424 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: Their words not mine, right. They want to be able 425 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: to make sure that everywhere they can just say gay, 426 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: gay gay gay gay. Again, those are not my words, 427 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: those are their words in their own conferences. I'll also 428 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: remind you of something else. DeSantis's bill was not a 429 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: don't say gay bill, right. The DeSantis bill was simply saying, 430 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: you can't talk to my kindergarten, first, second, or third 431 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: grader about all of these types of issues. It is 432 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: not your place, That's what it is. I will also 433 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: remind you that doctor Fauci, during the entire pandemic did 434 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: a Disney Plus documentary or they did a Disney Plus 435 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: documentary on Doctor Faucci where he even teared up more 436 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,640 Speaker 1: propaganda from Disney to get your kids to get the JAB. 437 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: When I think about my dad growing up, I certainly 438 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: think about that seriousness, but very few people get to 439 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: see him. He's funny, weird, and really playful. God help us. 440 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:38,120 Speaker 1: In nineteen eighty one, HIV AIDS was evolving rapidly and frighteningly. 441 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: There was anger at the government's response. When you got sick, 442 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: you were gone fast. Yeah, why post traumatic stress syndrome 443 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 1: and COVID hit. He became this starget. My dad said, 444 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna get through this whole thing, and he's held back. 445 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 1: You don't do it because you want to make money. 446 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: You don't do it for the glory. You do it 447 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: because you can't. When you're involved in a race to 448 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: stop a horrible disease, you're always feel you enout doing 449 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: things quickly enough. That is the propaganda that Disney was 450 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 1: putting out during the time of COVID. Disney Plus spent 451 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: time doing a documentary about doctor Fauci to imply that 452 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 1: doctor Fauci is the perfect person who should never be doubted, 453 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: who should never be questioned, that no one should ever 454 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: ask anything about what doctor Fauci tells you do. You 455 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 1: should just do it. If doctor Faucci tells you to jump, 456 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: you jump. This was the propaganda that Disney was putting 457 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: out to also undermine parents, to make it clear that 458 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:54,400 Speaker 1: your kids are really not your kids, that your kids 459 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: our property of the United States government, or your local 460 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 1: school system, and that your kids should the decisions about 461 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,159 Speaker 1: what they put in their bodies should be up to 462 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: the government and not you, the parents. Disney's smart, they 463 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 1: understand that. From a public relations standpoint, they screwed up. 464 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 1: That's why they announced right before Black Friday that they 465 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: have a new CEO. And what they're hoping it will 466 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: be is a moment where you say, oh good, I 467 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: can now go back to Disney. Understand that Disney has 468 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 1: not changed, and the new CEO is the former CEO, 469 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: the same CEO that went after desantists and Republicans saying 470 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: that your biggest or a racist or a homophobe if 471 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: you don't want schools to talk about transgenderism to your kindergartener, 472 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: your first grader, your second grader, and sex ed. There 473 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: was nothing in the bill that said don't say gay. 474 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: The bill was very clear. All it was was giving 475 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: parents the right to say it is not the job 476 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: of the school system to a doctrinate my kid on 477 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: sexual issues in kindergarten, first or second or third grade. 478 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: That's all the bills said. So they're gonna play the game, 479 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: and they're gonna hope that you're stupid enough and I 480 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: use that word because that's what little respect they have 481 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: for you. They're hoping that you're dumb enough to give 482 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: them their money and that so they can start the rebound. 483 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: At Disney, their stock is plummeted. Their CEO went hardcore woke, 484 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: was publicly outspoken. They're now just going to be quiet 485 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: and keep doing it in secret. They're gonna keep putting 486 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 1: the lgbtqi A characters in your kid's face, the non 487 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 1: binary characters in your face, to transgender characters in your face. 488 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: They're still gonna demand that they be in the lead roles. 489 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: As their head of Disney actually said, she said it 490 00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: never forget that Disney's CEO Andy's Company. By the way, 491 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 1: as two woke, the world is a rich, diverse place 492 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: as they described it. Walt Disney CEO pushed back on 493 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 1: the claim that they're coming it become two woke following 494 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: its wholeheart embrace of radical transgender ideology and the LGBTQ 495 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: activism at the Wall Street Journal Live Tech conference recently. 496 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: The CEO responded by saying inclusivity is part of Disney's 497 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: storytelling mission. I told you this is about Indoctrin and 498 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: of your kids. Through their storytelling, through their g rated content, 499 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: adding that he wants Disney to reflect the rich diverse 500 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: world that we live in, saying quote, I think the 501 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: more complex something is, the more you really have to 502 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 1: drill down into the basics. And we want our content 503 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,959 Speaker 1: to reflect the rich diverse world we live in. And again, 504 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: I guess that's another way of saying catering to your audience. 505 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: But the world is a rich diverse place, and we 506 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: want our content to reflect that. And we're so blessed 507 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 1: to have the greatest content creators in this industry. They're 508 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: not changing, they're just hoping that you're stupid enough to 509 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,479 Speaker 1: give them your money again, thinking that they changed and 510 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: they didn't do. Not fall for this big lie. The 511 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: Holidays are vitally important to Disney. They desperately need people 512 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 1: like you to say, all right, I'm gonna go back 513 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 1: and spend money because it's easy to spend money on 514 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 1: Mickey Mouse. I'm gonna take my kids back to Disney 515 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: because it's easy to do that, because it's just making 516 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,959 Speaker 1: the memories. And if we back down and we allow 517 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: them to win, they will never learn. The only thing 518 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: they're going to learn is all right, maybe don't say 519 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: it publicly. Let's just keep it quiet. Let's fake them out. 520 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: That's the only thing they're gonna learn is how to 521 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 1: do the PR game with it. Make sure you share 522 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 1: this podcast please with your family and friends ahead of 523 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: the big shopping season so other people hear this. And 524 00:31:58,320 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 1: I will see you back here tomorrow.
