Speaker 1: So how woke is two woke? Many companies are now
Speaker 1: trying to figure that out, especially after the demise of Disney,
Speaker 1: because so many conservatives stopped visiting their parks and stopped
Speaker 1: doing business with them and canceled Disney. Plus, now the
Speaker 1: CEO that is extremely open and woke has now exited
Speaker 1: the building. The former Disney CEO, Bob Eager, has returned
Speaker 1: to the CEO who was also a very woke guy,
Speaker 1: except he was a little bit more quiet about his wokeness.
Speaker 1: In a statement Sunday night, the chairman of Disney's board
Speaker 1: of directors announced that the CEO was stepping down from
Speaker 1: his position as head of the company and the former
Speaker 1: CEO would be returning from retirement to take back the
Speaker 1: reins as they then try to find a new CEO.
Speaker 1: They went on to say, hey, we think Bob for
Speaker 1: his service to Disney Disney over his long career, including
Speaker 1: navigating the coming through the unprecedented challenges of the pandemic.
Speaker 1: Still refusing to admit that their big problems are actually
Speaker 1: coming from families that are walking away from Disney, they
Speaker 1: went on to say, the board is concluded that a Disney.
Speaker 1: As Disney embarks on an increasingly complex period of industry transformation.
Speaker 1: It's time for us to bring back our old CEO,
Speaker 1: situated at the lead of the company through this pivotal period.
Speaker 1: The Hollywood Reporter also went on to say that the
Speaker 1: current CEO are now The ex current CEO has exited
Speaker 1: after signing a multiyear contract in June, despite a turbulent
Speaker 1: year of leadership during which he plunged the company deep
Speaker 1: into woke politics by opposing Florida's anti groomer law that
Speaker 1: barred teachers from discussing sexuality with third graders. And this
Speaker 1: is where it went off the rails for Disney. Now,
Speaker 1: the move proved disastrous for Disney, and they really realized that, yeah,
Speaker 1: this was dumb. Over the last six months, what happened
Speaker 1: the state of Florida strip Disney of its special tax
Speaker 1: jurisdiction that essentially allowed it to function like a city government.
Speaker 1: On the content front, Disney also took to political posturing
Speaker 1: even further than before, whether it was casting a trans
Speaker 1: non binary actress in Marvel's Ironheart or including a same
Speaker 1: sex kiss and a children's movie like Buzz Lightyear, which
Speaker 1: bombed at the box office after it was exposed and
Speaker 1: the Disney brand became so undeniably toxic in the last
Speaker 1: several months that the company's bottom line fell outright from
Speaker 1: under it, leading to massive layoffs, drops and stock prices,
Speaker 1: an overall negative employee morale quote. Disney's corporate earnings disappointed
Speaker 1: walls streets, sending its stock crashing to new lows. Now,
Speaker 1: the entertainment giant is reportedly planning layoffs, a targeted hiring freeze,
Speaker 1: and travel limitations on its employees, and a letter to employees,
Speaker 1: the Disney CEO or now x CEO, said that the
Speaker 1: company will make tough and uncomfortable decisions, as he put it, saying,
Speaker 1: I'm fully aware this is a difficult process for many
Speaker 1: of you and your teams. We are going to have
Speaker 1: to make tough and uncomfortable decisions, but that is just
Speaker 1: what leadership requires, and I thank you in advance for
Speaker 1: stepping up during this important time. That guy who wrote
Speaker 1: that now out serving less than a year. Now Eager
Speaker 1: will reportedly serve as CEO of Disney for another two
Speaker 1: years to set the strategic direction for renewed growth and
Speaker 1: to give the stock some stability as a new successor develops.
Speaker 1: That according to the board's announcement on Sunday evening. He
Speaker 1: went on to say, I'm extremely optimistic for the future
Speaker 1: this great company and thrilled to be asked by the
Speaker 1: board to return as its CEO. Now, Disney employees are
Speaker 1: reportedly in a state of confusion over the company's plan
Speaker 1: to also move two thousand workers to Florida from California,
Speaker 1: as they are blaming the CEO for the chaos, and
Speaker 1: that was part of the reason why apparently they said
Speaker 1: audios to him on Sunday night. Now, to be clear,
Speaker 1: Disney knows exactly what got them into the situation that
Speaker 1: they are in. They know that the CEO went all
Speaker 1: woke and he tried to be blunt and out front.
Speaker 1: The media also knew that they could get Disney to
Speaker 1: get really woke, and a perfect example of this is
Speaker 1: when CNN's Jake Tapper actually said to Stacy Abrams as
Speaker 1: she was running for governor in Georgia, quote, should companies
Speaker 1: like Disney and Netflix pull their businesses from Georgia if
Speaker 1: abortion restrictions go into effect in those states? Something that
Speaker 1: Disney jumped all in on going woke as a company.
Speaker 1: Take a listen a businesses such as Disney and Netflix
Speaker 1: have expressed their opposition to the so called Heartbeat abortion
Speaker 1: band in Georgia when it was pasted in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: Do you think those company should pull their businesses from
Speaker 1: Georgia when and if this abortion restriction goes into effect.
Speaker 1: Let's be clear, this abortion restriction, this extreme ban, will
Speaker 1: take effect in a matter of days. The Attorney General
Speaker 1: and the governor have already gone to the eleventh Circuit
Speaker 1: to ask for the state to be lifted. I would
Speaker 1: tell every single business and every single woman that they
Speaker 1: should do what is best for the women who work
Speaker 1: for them. They need to make certain that they are
Speaker 1: accommodating the very real healthcare challenges that will face women
Speaker 1: in the state of Georgia. It is my hope that
Speaker 1: we will be able to reverse this law by passing
Speaker 1: new legislation in twenty twenty three, because we also know
Speaker 1: that Brian Kemp intends to make it even more difficult
Speaker 1: for women. He intends to add incest and rape as prohibitions.
Speaker 1: He has already broken our healthcare system by refusing to
Speaker 1: expand Medicaid, and Georgia already has one of the highest
Speaker 1: maternal mortality rates in the nation. So you hear that
Speaker 1: all of what Stacey Abram said and is not going
Speaker 1: to become true because she lost that election to Brian
Speaker 1: Kemp in Georgie. But you can see how it was
Speaker 1: very simple and very clear that the liberal laugh was
Speaker 1: trying to use Disney as the reason to pretty much
Speaker 1: justify anything. All right, real quick, let me pause and
Speaker 1: tell you about our incredible friends over at Patriot Mobile.
Speaker 1: They are America's only Christian conservative cell phone provider. They
Speaker 1: want to make it easy for you to try switching
Speaker 1: to Patriot Mobile from whatever service you have right now.
Speaker 1: You can give them sixty days to show you why
Speaker 1: I use Patriot Mobile and why you should make the
Speaker 1: switch right now. When you try Patriot Mobile for two months,
Speaker 1: you get your third month free, plus you get free
Speaker 1: activation now. They offer nationwide coverage on the best four
Speaker 1: G and five G networks, and they use the same
Speaker 1: exact cell towers of all of the three other major carriers.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get the same coverage you have right now,
Speaker 1: you get the same great service. You get to keep
Speaker 1: your same cell phone number if you want to. You
Speaker 1: can even usually use the same phone you have in
Speaker 1: your hand right now. Now, why do you want to switch.
Speaker 1: When you do, they actually stand up for First and
Speaker 1: Second Amendment rights, and they give a portion of your
Speaker 1: bill every month back to conservative Christian causes that we
Speaker 1: all believe in. So, if you're ready to support a
Speaker 1: company that's fighting to preserve our God given rights and
Speaker 1: our freedoms, just go to Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson.
Speaker 1: That's Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson, or you can
Speaker 1: call them nine seven to Patriot. It's nine seven to Patriot.
Speaker 1: If you're fed up with woke companies that don't care
Speaker 1: about your values, support a company that actually does make
Speaker 1: the switch today get a free month of service plus
Speaker 1: free activation patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson or nine seven
Speaker 1: two Patriot. Now, there was also mocking that took place
Speaker 1: this summer. Mayor Pete said, if Rubio referring to Marco Rubio,
Speaker 1: who also won reelection in Florida, has time to fight Disney,
Speaker 1: then why wouldn't he have time to safeguard help safeguard
Speaker 1: same sex marriage, again putting Disney in the center of
Speaker 1: a political storm. It's still clear if there are ten
Speaker 1: Senate Republicans willing to support it. Republican Senator Rubio told
Speaker 1: my colleague Maniaju, he's going to vote no, and he
Speaker 1: called the vote a quote stupid waste of time. What's
Speaker 1: your reaction on that? What's your message to Senate Republicans?
Speaker 1: If he's got time to fight against Disney, I don't
Speaker 1: know why he wouldn't have time to help safeguard marriages
Speaker 1: like mine. Look, this is really really important to a
Speaker 1: lot of people. It's certainly important to me. I started
Speaker 1: my day as I try to do on weekends. I
Speaker 1: tried to give chast In a little bit of a
Speaker 1: break and do breakfast with both of our twins. And
Speaker 1: that alone, that's no small thing, As every parent of
Speaker 1: small kids knows. It was one of those days where
Speaker 1: the trade table wasn't quite fitting into the high chair,
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to make sure that they're busy enough
Speaker 1: with their cereal puffs to give me enough time to
Speaker 1: chop up the banana and get the formula ready, and
Speaker 1: it just I don't know. That half hour of my
Speaker 1: morning had me thinking about how much I depend on
Speaker 1: and count on my spouse every day, and our marriage
Speaker 1: deserves to be treated equally. And I don't know why
Speaker 1: this would be hard for a senator or a congressman.
Speaker 1: I don't understand how such a majority of House Republicans
Speaker 1: voted no on our marriage. As recently as Tuesday, hours
Speaker 1: after I was in a room with a lot of
Speaker 1: them talking about transportation policy, having what I thought were
Speaker 1: perfectly normal conversations with many of them on that subject,
Speaker 1: only for them to go around the corner and say
Speaker 1: that my marriage doesn't deserve to continue. If they don't
Speaker 1: want to spend a lot of time on this, they
Speaker 1: can vote yes and move on, and that would be
Speaker 1: really reassuring for a lot of families around America, including mine.
Speaker 1: Mayor Pete there saying in Frebio has got time to
Speaker 1: fight Disney, then why and you have time to help
Speaker 1: safeguard same sex marriage referring to codifying same sex marriage,
Speaker 1: and Rubio said, look, it's a waste of time. I'm
Speaker 1: not worried about it. He has won reelection. Mayor Pete
Speaker 1: obviously in shock again Disney getting in the middle of
Speaker 1: that conversation. Now, this all goes back to Disney going
Speaker 1: totally woke and not backing down. And it all happened
Speaker 1: when they started to fight in Florida, Governor de Santis,
Speaker 1: and also all came to a head when they had
Speaker 1: their internal calls reimagining Tomorrow at Disney that came out.
Speaker 1: When those came out, those recordings of their massive call
Speaker 1: that they had about reimagining Tomorrow, saying we are going
Speaker 1: to be a propaganda filled company, there were many conservatives
Speaker 1: that finally said enough. Perfect example of that is a
Speaker 1: Disney executive producer saying she identifies as a biomanta a
Speaker 1: sexual and she's so happy to work at Disney so
Speaker 1: she can have others like her have a voice and
Speaker 1: indoctrinating your kids. And let me remind you of Disney,
Speaker 1: and I want you to remind you of the workers,
Speaker 1: the the leaders, I should say, not the workers, the
Speaker 1: leaders of the company who are still all there right now,
Speaker 1: these executives doing they're reimagining tomorrow event earlier this year,
Speaker 1: and this is what one does. The executive had to say, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I identify as like a bi romantic a sexual. I've
Speaker 1: had a lot of learning and growing about myself this year,
Speaker 1: kind of facilitated by how comfortable I felt on the
Speaker 1: Proud Family and with my immedia team at Disney TVA.
Speaker 1: And so it's just sort of like this creative dissonance
Speaker 1: between my personal experience where I feel so safe and
Speaker 1: so supported. I mean like I wasn't like in the closet,
Speaker 1: but like I'm real out now, but like and like
Speaker 1: outside of my team, outside of TVA. It's just it
Speaker 1: feels like the things that we believe that we're trying
Speaker 1: to put into the shows are not what we're seeing
Speaker 1: in the real world. And yeah, it leaves you in
Speaker 1: a weird space. I'm still thinking, like I want to
Speaker 1: use my content to like go deeper, like talk about
Speaker 1: how non monnolithic the LGBTQ plus community as an asexual
Speaker 1: ass an a sexual Like it's just like I feel
Speaker 1: like a lot of people don't know what that is.
Speaker 1: I have to, like how a dissertation ready at any
Speaker 1: given time. I want to like add the pockets of
Speaker 1: the LGBTQ community that you don't see. I was like,
Speaker 1: I want to get like gay Advanced, and then I realized, like, oh,
Speaker 1: we need to go back to like gay one oh one.
Speaker 1: Like so it's like, I I want to get back
Speaker 1: to gay advance Oh blank, I want to get back
Speaker 1: to gay I got to get back to gay one
Speaker 1: oh one to let people understand who I am what
Speaker 1: I am. Now, that's just one of the employees at Disney.
Speaker 1: We also go back to the Disney City who lied
Speaker 1: about what actually was being said with the don't Say
Speaker 1: Gay bill as they tried to describe it in Florida,
Speaker 1: which is not what the bill said at all. All
Speaker 1: the bill said was don't talk to my third grade
Speaker 1: or second grade or first grader or kid in kindergarten
Speaker 1: about all these sexual exploits and all these sexual issues.
Speaker 1: In other words, it should be a parental choice, not
Speaker 1: the school indoctrinating my kid. And the former Disney CEO
Speaker 1: who's now coming back as the CEO, if you think
Speaker 1: he's going to change course to the company, you're wrong.
Speaker 1: How do I know this? This is what he had
Speaker 1: to say when he was the x former CEO of Disney,
Speaker 1: now coming back as a current CEO. This is what
Speaker 1: Bob had to say in an interview on CNN. A
Speaker 1: lot of these issues are not necessarily political. It's about
Speaker 1: right and wrong. So I happen to feel and I
Speaker 1: tweeted an opinion about these don't Say Gay bill in Florida.
Speaker 1: To me, it wasn't politics, it was what this right
Speaker 1: and what is wrong, and that just seemed wrong. It
Speaker 1: seemed potentially harmful to kids. When you're dealing with right
Speaker 1: and wrong, or when you're dealing with something that does
Speaker 1: have a profound impact on your business, then I just
Speaker 1: think you'd have to do what is right and not
Speaker 1: worry about the potential backlash to it. Not worry about
Speaker 1: the potential backlash to it. So if you think that
Speaker 1: Disney is learning from what they have done, you're wrong.
Speaker 1: That was the former CEO, now the current CEO who
Speaker 1: just replaced the other CEO. Yes, it sounds like a
Speaker 1: lot of drama, because that's exactly what all of this is.
Speaker 1: You have to go back to the employees. Disney's diversity
Speaker 1: and inclusion manager. She came out talking and this is
Speaker 1: still what they're doing, saying, we've eliminated all mentions of
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls and theme parks because
Speaker 1: we don't want to assume anyone's gender. Last summer, we
Speaker 1: removed all of the gendered greetings and relationship to our
Speaker 1: life still, so we no longer say ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 1: boys and girls. We've trained, we've provided training for all
Speaker 1: of our cast members in relationship to that, So now
Speaker 1: they know it's it's hello everyone, or hello friends. We
Speaker 1: are in the process of changing over those those recorded messages,
Speaker 1: and so many of you are probably familiar. When we
Speaker 1: brought the fireworks back to the Magic Kingdom. We no
Speaker 1: longer say ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. We say
Speaker 1: dreamers of all ages. And so I love the fact
Speaker 1: that it's opened up the creativity, the opportunity for our
Speaker 1: cast members to look at that we have our cast
Speaker 1: members working with merchandise, working with food and beverage, working
Speaker 1: with all of our guests, facing areas where perhaps you know,
Speaker 1: we want to create that magical moment with our cast
Speaker 1: members with our guests, and we don't want to just
Speaker 1: assume because someone might be in our interpretation maybe presenting
Speaker 1: this female that they may not want to be called princess.
Speaker 1: So let's think differently about how do we really engage
Speaker 1: with our guests in a meaningful and inclusive way that
Speaker 1: makes it magical and memorable for everyone. So to be queer,
Speaker 1: what she's saying is just because a mom and a
Speaker 1: dad dress up a little girl as a princess the park,
Speaker 1: don't tell her she's a beautiful princess, that's not what
Speaker 1: we do. And then you have the Disney corporate presidents. Carrie,
Speaker 1: her name is Carrie, Carrie Burke is still the Disney
Speaker 1: corporate president, still going to be working under the guy
Speaker 1: who attacked Florida and tweets about the Don't Say Gay bill,
Speaker 1: as he described even though that they were gay wasn't
Speaker 1: even in the bill. They just lied about it. And
Speaker 1: the Santis defended it and did the right thing. But
Speaker 1: if you think the Disney is learning from their mistakes,
Speaker 1: they're not. She's still in charge. She wants you to
Speaker 1: know that she's a mother of two queer children. As
Speaker 1: she describes it, Listen, I'm here as a mother of
Speaker 1: two queer children, actually one transgender child and one pan
Speaker 1: sexual child, and also as a leader. One of our
Speaker 1: execs stood up and said, you know, we only have
Speaker 1: a handful of queer leads in our content. And I went,
Speaker 1: what that can't be true, and I and I and
Speaker 1: I realized, oh, it actually is true. We have many, many,
Speaker 1: many lgbt QIA characters in our stories, and yet we
Speaker 1: don't have enough leads. We don't have enough leads. So
Speaker 1: we're going to change that. We're going to make sure
Speaker 1: that we have a whole bunch of leads that are gay, right,
Speaker 1: And she says she supports having many, many lgbt qi
Speaker 1: A characters in our stories, because that's what this is
Speaker 1: all about. I'm here as a mother of two queer children,
Speaker 1: and she wants to remind you that she is here
Speaker 1: as a mother of two queer children. And I realized, Oh,
Speaker 1: it actually is true. We have many, many, many lgbt
Speaker 1: QIA characters in our stories, and yet we don't have
Speaker 1: enough leads. So we got to change that, folks, We
Speaker 1: got to make sure that we change the number of
Speaker 1: leads so that we are purposely putting out propaganda to
Speaker 1: make sure that your children are indoctrinated by Disney. So
Speaker 1: when you put them in front of the TV, when
Speaker 1: you take them to the parks, you're going to be
Speaker 1: really excited about what we bring you. We had a
Speaker 1: Disney production coordinator that said his team actually created a
Speaker 1: tracker to make sure they create enough gender non conforming characters.
Speaker 1: This is what Disney is going to continue to do,
Speaker 1: So don't be fooled by their new old CEO coming
Speaker 1: back in space. Yeah. I've had the privilege of working
Speaker 1: with the Moon Girl team for the last two years
Speaker 1: and that they've been really open to exploring queer stories.
Speaker 1: And part of I'm on the production side, part of
Speaker 1: the work that I feel like I can put in
Speaker 1: is making sure that we take place in modern day
Speaker 1: New York, so make sure that that's like an accurate
Speaker 1: reflection of New York. So I put together like a
Speaker 1: tracker of our background characters to make sure that we
Speaker 1: have like the full breadth of expression, and we got
Speaker 1: into a very similar conversation carry of like, oh, all
Speaker 1: of our gender nonconforming characters are in the background, and
Speaker 1: so it's not just a numbers game of how many
Speaker 1: LGBTQ plus characters you have. We got the further the
Speaker 1: more centered a story is on a character, the more
Speaker 1: nuanced you get to get into their story. And especially
Speaker 1: with like trans characters, you can't see if someone is trans.
Speaker 1: There's not one way to look trans, and so kind
Speaker 1: of the only way to have these like canonical trans characters,
Speaker 1: canonical asexual characters, canonical bisexual characters, is to give them
Speaker 1: stories where they can like be their whole selves, be
Speaker 1: their whole selves. If you think for a moment that
Speaker 1: Disney is backing down or that they have learned their lesson. Note,
Speaker 1: because all the people that I just played for you
Speaker 1: are still at the company and still in charge of
Speaker 1: the content. And the former CEO, who is the one
Speaker 1: that came out really going after Florida, is now back
Speaker 1: being the CEO all over again. Now, before I get
Speaker 1: into more of this story, I want to say thank
Speaker 1: you and tell you about our good friends at Legacy
Speaker 1: Precious Medals. Without them, the show wouldn't be possible. And
Speaker 1: if you have not looked at gold and silver as
Speaker 1: a way to protect your hard earned dollars against what

Speaker 1: we're dealing with right now. If you're terrified to look
Speaker 1: at your retirement account, your four one case statement because
Speaker 1: of what's happening on Wall Street, that's all the more

Speaker 1: So before you go shopping and you buy all your
Speaker 1: gifts with Black Friday and Cyber Monday, just remember Disney
Speaker 1: has not changed. You have an opportunity to stand up
Speaker 1: to a company that wants to indoctrinate your children and
Speaker 1: also is attacking every conservative and evangelical Christian in this country,
Speaker 1: any person of faith. Now you may say, well, Ben,
Speaker 1: that's an awful bold statement to be making. All right,
Speaker 1: let me back it up. Disney's activism partner Nadine Smith
Speaker 1: had this to say on the CEO corporate wide call
Speaker 1: called Walt Disney's Reimagining Tomorrow. Listen carefully to what she
Speaker 1: has to say about the GOP coverage. But the context
Speaker 1: is also who is pushing it, what their record is,
Speaker 1: and what the history is in Florida. You know, you
Speaker 1: can go back to the fifties to the John's Committee,
Speaker 1: where the legislature was actively put together a task force
Speaker 1: whose whole job was to root out civil rights workers
Speaker 1: and any homosexuals in the university system and destroyed lives literally,
Speaker 1: people committed suicide behind the relentless attack. And then you
Speaker 1: have Anita Bryant, and many of us are of an
Speaker 1: age to remember a Nita Bryant Save Our Children campaign
Speaker 1: which was premised on the same the same ideas that
Speaker 1: undergird this bill. And because of her campaign that it
Speaker 1: equated being gay with being a child predator, she was
Speaker 1: able to pass a ban on gay people being able
Speaker 1: to opt a marriage fan and then she took that nationwide.
Speaker 1: And so when we react to this, a lot of
Speaker 1: us are reacting from the pain we experience of being
Speaker 1: isolated and stigmatized in school. We're also reacting from the
Speaker 1: reality that when they can erase you, when they can
Speaker 1: criminalize your existence, when they can demonize who you are,
Speaker 1: the next step is to criminalize you and take your kids.
Speaker 1: And we're already seeing that in Texas. So the slippery
Speaker 1: slope between these ugly messages emanating from legislative leaders in
Speaker 1: our state and then amplified by our governor, who spokesperson
Speaker 1: immediately began calling everyone who opposed this bill Groomer's aka pedophiles.
Speaker 1: By the way, that's not true. That's a lie. But
Speaker 1: you know who cares if you're telling the truth. You're
Speaker 1: lying now if you're a Democrat. That who Disney brought in.
Speaker 1: And that is what she had to say about conservatives
Speaker 1: and Republicans saying that immediately we were claiming that anyone
Speaker 1: that was gay is some sort of groom or a pedophile.
Speaker 1: That's not what was said. The bill had nothing to
Speaker 1: do with this. The bill never said the word gay
Speaker 1: in it. What do they do? They lied, and they
Speaker 1: went after the Santis and they lost, and now conservatives
Speaker 1: have stood up to them, thank goodness, and it started
Speaker 1: to hurt their bottom line. But this Christmas, they're hoping
Speaker 1: that immediately having this last minute replacement of a CEO,
Speaker 1: that that's gonna change how you look at them, that
Speaker 1: it's gonna make you say, okay, let's take our kids
Speaker 1: to Disney. It's gonna make you say, okay, they've learned
Speaker 1: their lesson. Now we can go back to business as usual.
Speaker 1: The CEO who is now in charge, the same former
Speaker 1: CEO of Disney that started this entire war and started
Speaker 1: going after and attacking conservatives, parents and the Republican Party
Speaker 1: in Florida. Their war is not over against us. Make
Speaker 1: that clear, okay. Their war is just begun, and their
Speaker 1: war is to indoctrinate your children and have many many
Speaker 1: many many, many many many more lgbt qi A figures.
Speaker 1: Their words not mine, right. They want to be able
Speaker 1: to make sure that everywhere they can just say gay,
Speaker 1: gay gay gay gay. Again, those are not my words,
Speaker 1: those are their words in their own conferences. I'll also
Speaker 1: remind you of something else. DeSantis's bill was not a
Speaker 1: don't say gay bill, right. The DeSantis bill was simply saying,
Speaker 1: you can't talk to my kindergarten, first, second, or third
Speaker 1: grader about all of these types of issues. It is
Speaker 1: not your place, That's what it is. I will also
Speaker 1: remind you that doctor Fauci, during the entire pandemic did
Speaker 1: a Disney Plus documentary or they did a Disney Plus
Speaker 1: documentary on Doctor Faucci where he even teared up more
Speaker 1: propaganda from Disney to get your kids to get the JAB.
Speaker 1: When I think about my dad growing up, I certainly
Speaker 1: think about that seriousness, but very few people get to
Speaker 1: see him. He's funny, weird, and really playful. God help us.
Speaker 1: In nineteen eighty one, HIV AIDS was evolving rapidly and frighteningly.
Speaker 1: There was anger at the government's response. When you got sick,
Speaker 1: you were gone fast. Yeah, why post traumatic stress syndrome
Speaker 1: and COVID hit. He became this starget. My dad said,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get through this whole thing, and he's held back.
Speaker 1: You don't do it because you want to make money.
Speaker 1: You don't do it for the glory. You do it
Speaker 1: because you can't. When you're involved in a race to
Speaker 1: stop a horrible disease, you're always feel you enout doing
Speaker 1: things quickly enough. That is the propaganda that Disney was
Speaker 1: putting out during the time of COVID. Disney Plus spent
Speaker 1: time doing a documentary about doctor Fauci to imply that
Speaker 1: doctor Fauci is the perfect person who should never be doubted,
Speaker 1: who should never be questioned, that no one should ever
Speaker 1: ask anything about what doctor Fauci tells you do. You
Speaker 1: should just do it. If doctor Faucci tells you to jump,
Speaker 1: you jump. This was the propaganda that Disney was putting
Speaker 1: out to also undermine parents, to make it clear that
Speaker 1: your kids are really not your kids, that your kids
Speaker 1: our property of the United States government, or your local
Speaker 1: school system, and that your kids should the decisions about
Speaker 1: what they put in their bodies should be up to
Speaker 1: the government and not you, the parents. Disney's smart, they
Speaker 1: understand that. From a public relations standpoint, they screwed up.
Speaker 1: That's why they announced right before Black Friday that they
Speaker 1: have a new CEO. And what they're hoping it will
Speaker 1: be is a moment where you say, oh good, I
Speaker 1: can now go back to Disney. Understand that Disney has
Speaker 1: not changed, and the new CEO is the former CEO,
Speaker 1: the same CEO that went after desantists and Republicans saying
Speaker 1: that your biggest or a racist or a homophobe if
Speaker 1: you don't want schools to talk about transgenderism to your kindergartener,
Speaker 1: your first grader, your second grader, and sex ed. There
Speaker 1: was nothing in the bill that said don't say gay.
Speaker 1: The bill was very clear. All it was was giving
Speaker 1: parents the right to say it is not the job
Speaker 1: of the school system to a doctrinate my kid on
Speaker 1: sexual issues in kindergarten, first or second or third grade.
Speaker 1: That's all the bills said. So they're gonna play the game,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna hope that you're stupid enough and I
Speaker 1: use that word because that's what little respect they have
Speaker 1: for you. They're hoping that you're dumb enough to give
Speaker 1: them their money and that so they can start the rebound.
Speaker 1: At Disney, their stock is plummeted. Their CEO went hardcore woke,
Speaker 1: was publicly outspoken. They're now just going to be quiet
Speaker 1: and keep doing it in secret. They're gonna keep putting
Speaker 1: the lgbtqi A characters in your kid's face, the non
Speaker 1: binary characters in your face, to transgender characters in your face.
Speaker 1: They're still gonna demand that they be in the lead roles.
Speaker 1: As their head of Disney actually said, she said it
Speaker 1: never forget that Disney's CEO Andy's Company. By the way,
Speaker 1: as two woke, the world is a rich, diverse place
Speaker 1: as they described it. Walt Disney CEO pushed back on
Speaker 1: the claim that they're coming it become two woke following
Speaker 1: its wholeheart embrace of radical transgender ideology and the LGBTQ
Speaker 1: activism at the Wall Street Journal Live Tech conference recently.
Speaker 1: The CEO responded by saying inclusivity is part of Disney's
Speaker 1: storytelling mission. I told you this is about Indoctrin and
Speaker 1: of your kids. Through their storytelling, through their g rated content,
Speaker 1: adding that he wants Disney to reflect the rich diverse
Speaker 1: world that we live in, saying quote, I think the
Speaker 1: more complex something is, the more you really have to
Speaker 1: drill down into the basics. And we want our content
Speaker 1: to reflect the rich diverse world we live in. And again,
Speaker 1: I guess that's another way of saying catering to your audience.
Speaker 1: But the world is a rich diverse place, and we
Speaker 1: want our content to reflect that. And we're so blessed
Speaker 1: to have the greatest content creators in this industry. They're
Speaker 1: not changing, they're just hoping that you're stupid enough to
Speaker 1: give them your money again, thinking that they changed and
Speaker 1: they didn't do. Not fall for this big lie. The
Speaker 1: Holidays are vitally important to Disney. They desperately need people
Speaker 1: like you to say, all right, I'm gonna go back
Speaker 1: and spend money because it's easy to spend money on
Speaker 1: Mickey Mouse. I'm gonna take my kids back to Disney
Speaker 1: because it's easy to do that, because it's just making
Speaker 1: the memories. And if we back down and we allow
Speaker 1: them to win, they will never learn. The only thing
Speaker 1: they're going to learn is all right, maybe don't say
Speaker 1: it publicly. Let's just keep it quiet. Let's fake them out.
Speaker 1: That's the only thing they're gonna learn is how to
Speaker 1: do the PR game with it. Make sure you share
Speaker 1: this podcast please with your family and friends ahead of
Speaker 1: the big shopping season so other people hear this. And
Speaker 1: I will see you back here tomorrow.
