0:01
Speaker 1: I want you to understand what I'm about to say
0:04
Speaker 1: is going to be very harsh. Some are going to
0:06
Speaker 1: be mad at me for saying it. Some are going
0:08
Speaker 1: to say that, uh, They're never going to listen to
0:10
Speaker 1: me again. I'm going to have people that I'm going
0:12
Speaker 1: to lose from this show, podcasts. They're going to say,
0:14
Speaker 1: you know you're, you know you're, I'm done.
0:16
Speaker 2: With you forever.
0:17
Speaker 1: And I don't care, because these are the moments where
0:21
Speaker 1: I think we actually learn the most about the candidates
0:24
Speaker 1: that we don't want to run the country.
0:27
Speaker 2: Let me give you an example of this.
0:29
Speaker 1: Disney is now suing the Florida governor rond De Santis,
0:33
Speaker 1: and Democrats are seizing on this, and so is the media.
0:36
Speaker 1: They are now accusing him of a quote political effort
0:40
Speaker 1: to hurt its business. Walt Disney Company going on offense.
0:45
Speaker 1: This from CNBC suing the Florida governor Ronda Santis, alleging
0:50
Speaker 1: the Republican governor has quote waged a relentless campaign to
0:55
Speaker 1: weaponize government power over the company. This is how CNBC
1:02
Speaker 1: started their broadcast.
1:03
Speaker 3: Breaking news on Disney that we do want to get to.
1:05
Speaker 3: Let's get to Julia Borsam for the very latest, Julia
1:08
Speaker 3: Melissa Well, Disney is suing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis after
1:12
Speaker 3: just this morning, Florida's oversight board that was appointed by
1:15
Speaker 3: Governor DeSantis declared that the agreement that Disney had made
1:19
Speaker 3: back in February to retain control over its theme parks
1:22
Speaker 3: tax district, that those agreements were null and void.
1:25
Speaker 2: So now Walt.
1:26
Speaker 3: Disney Parks and Resorts is suing Governor DeSantis over his
1:30
Speaker 3: curtailing of Disney's autonomy. They're calling his board's action patently retaliatory,
1:36
Speaker 3: patently anti business, and patently unconstitutional. And the media giant
1:40
Speaker 3: is looking for adjunctive relief so it can continue to
1:44
Speaker 3: carry out its business plans. Now, the suit says, quote,
1:46
Speaker 3: a targeted campaign of government retaliation orchestrated at every step
1:51
Speaker 3: by Governor DeSantis as punishment for Disney's protected speech now
1:56
Speaker 3: threatens Disney's business operations, jeopardizes its economic future in the region,
2:00
Speaker 3: and violates its constitutional rights. Now, of course, Melissa, this
2:04
Speaker 3: all started back when Disney's leadership criticized Florida's so called
2:09
Speaker 3: Don't Say Gay Bill, which banned conversations about sexual orientation
2:13
Speaker 3: in schools.
2:14
Speaker 1: Melissa by the way, that's very misleading from CNBC at
2:18
Speaker 1: the very end there, what Disney did was they became
2:22
Speaker 1: an activist company where they were going after the state
2:25
Speaker 1: of Florida, which had given them basically autonomy, basically creating
2:29
Speaker 1: them their own country around Disney World, and had done this,
2:34
Speaker 1: and then they were angry and went woke, and they
2:37
Speaker 1: decided to go after the state which had given them
2:41
Speaker 1: the most incredible sweetheart deals they had ever seen or
2:44
Speaker 1: imagined anywhere in the country. That is the problem. And
2:49
Speaker 1: so then Governor DeSantis kind of went back and looked
2:53
Speaker 1: at all of this and realized that Disney and I'm
2:57
Speaker 1: going to quote liberal ideas here for a moment, what
3:00
Speaker 1: is it that liberals hate? They hate people that make money,
3:03
Speaker 1: They hate people that make a lot of money. They
3:04
Speaker 1: hate billionaires, right, even though they'll happily take their money
3:07
Speaker 1: like George Soros and let them buy off political campaigns
3:10
Speaker 1: and pick and choose candidates. But the moral of them,
3:14
Speaker 1: right of the Democrats, the socialists in these comments is
3:16
Speaker 1: we hate everybody that makes cash. We hate corporate America,
3:19
Speaker 1: we hate big companies. They're all evil. They should pay
3:22
Speaker 1: their fair share, they should pay more in taxes, YadA, YadA, YadA.
3:26
Speaker 2: Right, you start a class warfare and.
3:28
Speaker 1: You say that anyone that does something or creates anything
3:31
Speaker 1: massive or amazing is actually spot of satan unless.
3:33
Speaker 2: They're on our side.
3:35
Speaker 1: Disney makes billions and billions and billions of dollars, and
3:40
Speaker 1: they poked the bear that allowed them the ability to
3:43
Speaker 1: make that money in Florida. The deal that Florida gave
3:47
Speaker 1: Disney decades ago was an unbelievable deal. And if Disney
3:52
Speaker 1: was smart, they would have shut the hell up and
3:54
Speaker 1: just been a business and not gone into woke activism.
3:57
Speaker 1: They're the ones that chose this fight, the ones that
4:00
Speaker 1: escalated this. And so when that happened, a bunch of
4:04
Speaker 1: elected officials that liked Disney previously in Florida were like, well,
4:09
Speaker 1: if you're gonna start giving us crap, we're gonna look
4:11
Speaker 1: at your deals, We're gonna look at your sweetheart deals.
4:14
Speaker 1: We're going to take a look at this and we're
4:15
Speaker 1: going to see what we like or don't like, and
4:19
Speaker 1: let's see how good it is. And then they realized
4:20
Speaker 1: how good it was, Like people started reporting on this,
4:22
Speaker 1: They're like, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, Like, are
4:26
Speaker 1: you seeing just how good this actually is. It was
4:30
Speaker 1: a holy cow moment where people were looking at it
4:34
Speaker 1: and they couldn't believe what they were seeing and just
4:37
Speaker 1: how unbelievable the deal was. Then there were people that
4:41
Speaker 1: actually got pretty angry over this. They were angry because
4:45
Speaker 1: they couldn't believe just how good the deal was, and
4:48
Speaker 1: then the crap they were taking from these individuals at Disney.
4:54
Speaker 1: Disney was also lying about the bill. The bill never
4:56
Speaker 1: said don't say gay. The bill was anti grooming law.
4:59
Speaker 1: It was saying you can't and doctors start talking about
5:01
Speaker 1: sexual stuff with very young children. There's nothing in there
5:05
Speaker 1: about don't say gay. So they also lied about that.
5:08
Speaker 1: Okay they I Disney lied, busted, and.
5:12
Speaker 2: Now they're saying we are being persecuted. Now.
5:17
Speaker 1: I think Ryan DeSantis is right to go to war
5:19
Speaker 1: with Disney. I also think it's time to wrap up
5:22
Speaker 1: that war with Disney and move on to other issues.
5:24
Speaker 1: I think this is hurting Rond Desanta's chances of becoming
5:27
Speaker 1: president because at some point it does look like it's
5:30
Speaker 1: petty and it's going to become a liability instead of
5:32
Speaker 1: an asset. You go in, you beat the crap out
5:35
Speaker 1: of the bully, and that's what DeSantis did, and then
5:38
Speaker 1: you eventually get up off the mat, right, And what
5:41
Speaker 1: DeSantis has done is kept punching and punching and punching,
5:44
Speaker 1: and now people are kind of like, okay, enough, they're
5:46
Speaker 1: ready to move on. With that being said, and that's
5:49
Speaker 1: just my political advice to DeSantis on this. There's another
5:52
Speaker 1: issue that really makes me mad, and that's this I
5:56
Speaker 1: said at the beginning. There are moments when happen when
6:00
Speaker 1: you know that there's a person you're not going to
6:03
Speaker 1: vote for, that are very telling about that person. And
6:06
Speaker 1: that person today is Nicki Haley. Nicki Haley is trying
6:11
Speaker 1: to figure out a way to get some some wind
6:13
Speaker 1: in her sales. She's running for president of the United
6:15
Speaker 1: States America. She's already announced it. She goes on Fox
6:18
Speaker 1: News Channel today, and when she's on Fox News Channel today,
6:22
Speaker 1: Nikki Haley officially invited Disney to move to South Carolina
6:27
Speaker 1: as they are suing DeSantis. That is liberal political pandering
6:32
Speaker 1: at its worth. I have zero respect for Nicki Haley.
6:36
Speaker 1: This is exactly what I would expect from a Mitt
6:38
Speaker 1: Romney or a Jeb Bush. And I'm glad that this
6:42
Speaker 1: moment happened today on Fox News Channel, because you know
6:45
Speaker 1: exactly what you're getting with Nicki Haley. If Haley has
6:49
Speaker 1: directly asked a question about Disney, what she should have
6:52
Speaker 1: said was they should have stayed out of politics. They
6:53
Speaker 1: wouldn't be in this situation right now, and they shouldn't
6:56
Speaker 1: have been trying lying about what's happening in Florida. But again,
6:59
Speaker 1: nick Sky Haley is so desperate for someone to like
7:02
Speaker 1: her that she actually sounded like a liberal today implying
7:07
Speaker 1: that somehow Florida is a bad place and DeSantis is
7:10
Speaker 1: a bad person for taking on Disney and their woke activism, saying,
7:14
Speaker 1: come on down to South Carolina.
7:17
Speaker 4: You know, as governor, I took a double digit unemployment
7:20
Speaker 4: state and I turned it into an economic powerhouse. Businesses
7:23
Speaker 4: were my partners, because if you take care of your businesses,
7:26
Speaker 4: you take care of your economy. Your economy takes care
7:29
Speaker 4: of the people and everyone wins. And so that's the
7:32
Speaker 4: way we dealt with it. We are South Carolina was
7:35
Speaker 4: a very anti woke state. It still is. And if
7:38
Speaker 4: Disney would like to move their hundreds of thousands of
7:41
Speaker 4: jobs to South Carolina and bring the billions of dollars
7:43
Speaker 4: with them. I'll let them know I'll be happy to
7:45
Speaker 4: meet them in South Carolina and introduce them to the
7:48
Speaker 4: governor and the legislature that would welcome it.
7:51
Speaker 1: This is the worst political pandering that I've heard in
7:54
Speaker 1: a long time. I honestly thought Nikki Haley was smarter
7:57
Speaker 1: than to take the bait. Here back, come on down
8:00
Speaker 1: North Carolina. Right, it's a very anti woke state and
8:03
Speaker 1: it still is. However, we'd love to get us some
8:05
Speaker 1: Disney up in the here, get us all woke again.
8:07
Speaker 2: We'll take those jobs.
8:09
Speaker 1: She should have said, Look, at the end of the day,
8:12
Speaker 1: Disney screwed up, and they should understand they screwed up,
8:15
Speaker 1: and it's dumb to sue Ron DeSantis. She could have
8:17
Speaker 1: said that, and actually, I think gained more supporters, not less.
8:23
Speaker 1: I think this has actually been a positive for her,
8:26
Speaker 1: not a negative for her. And yet there she is
8:30
Speaker 1: and she's screwed it all up. And remember, this is
8:32
Speaker 1: the reason why I didn't get excited about Nicki Haley,
8:35
Speaker 1: because this is what I expected from her, and all
8:38
Speaker 1: of a sudden, out of nowhere, in an opportunity that
8:41
Speaker 1: she had to show that maybe she's a real conservative,
8:43
Speaker 1: she shows her true colors. She is, in my opinion
8:47
Speaker 1: amed Mitt Romney. Okay, she is a Mitt Romney two
8:52
Speaker 1: point zero and that is who she is. And never
8:55
Speaker 1: forget this moment when she showed her colors to you.
9:00
Speaker 1: Governor Santis has come out and saying, under no circumstances
9:03
Speaker 1: should the state of Florida be subsidizing Disney and wokeism.
9:07
Speaker 1: He said this as he has gone on the attack
9:09
Speaker 1: on Disney again.
9:10
Speaker 2: Take a listen.
9:11
Speaker 5: Concentrations of private power must also be checked. So Big
9:16
Speaker 5: Tech and Disney. Their complaint is, we're private entities. We
9:23
Speaker 5: have the same rights to freedom of speech as anybody.
9:26
Speaker 5: What are you doing messing us with us with political power?
9:29
Speaker 5: How do you answer that?
9:31
Speaker 6: Well, Disney is a joke because in in that late
9:34
Speaker 6: sixties they were given by the Florida legislature their own
9:39
Speaker 6: government in Central Florida. So they basically answered to themselves.
9:43
Speaker 6: The whole thing was a fiction. Basically, you had a
9:47
Speaker 6: corporation running forty square miles of territory right in the
9:51
Speaker 6: heart of Florida, and so that had basically gone on
9:55
Speaker 6: and was kind of untouchable just because they exercised so
9:59
Speaker 6: much politic power over the process. They get into this
10:04
Speaker 6: issue with the sexualization of the child programming and getting
10:09
Speaker 6: involved in our education bill, and we just had to
10:12
Speaker 6: look at this and say, Okay, do they have a
10:15
Speaker 6: quote First Amendment right to be advocating for gender ideology
10:20
Speaker 6: in kindergarten? Yeah? I guess is that honestly faithful to
10:25
Speaker 6: their fiduciary duty to their shareholders? I don't think so.
10:28
Speaker 6: But that's not really in my wheelhouse as governor. But
10:33
Speaker 6: what I can tell you is, under no circumstances should
10:37
Speaker 6: the state of Florida be subsidizing woke activism by allowing
10:42
Speaker 6: them to have their own government. So we took it away.
10:53
Speaker 6: So they've lost their own government. We've put the state
10:57
Speaker 6: in charge with a control board.
10:59
Speaker 7: Now.
10:59
Speaker 6: It's interesting the media, you know, tried to get spun
11:03
Speaker 6: up about Disney trying to do these agreements, you know,
11:06
Speaker 6: very quietly, right before we took control, and they're acting
11:10
Speaker 6: like somehow that they that they pulled one over on
11:13
Speaker 6: the state. You'll there'll be a lot of that comes
11:16
Speaker 6: out over the next month or two. But suffice it
11:18
Speaker 6: to say, you know, the legislature is going to avoid
11:21
Speaker 6: anything Disney did on the way out the door. But
11:24
Speaker 6: now that Disney has reopened this issue, we're not just
11:27
Speaker 6: going to avoid the development agreement they tried to do.
11:30
Speaker 6: We're gonna look at things like taxes on the hotels,
11:35
Speaker 6: We're gonna look at things like tolls on the roads.
11:37
Speaker 6: We're gonna look at things like developing some of the
11:40
Speaker 6: property that the district owns. And so at the end
11:43
Speaker 6: of the day, I think what Disney has tried to
11:45
Speaker 6: do is they've tried to say that they should be
11:47
Speaker 6: able to operate outside the context of our constitutional system
11:52
Speaker 6: in Florida. No, we took this action prior to the election.
11:56
Speaker 6: We want overwhelmingly, uh, they are not superior to the
12:01
Speaker 6: people of Florida, and so, come hell or high water,
12:04
Speaker 6: we're going to make sure that that policy of Florida
12:08
Speaker 6: carries the day, and so they can keep trying to
12:10
Speaker 6: do things, but ultimately we're going to win on every
12:14
Speaker 6: single issue involving Disney. I can tell you that.
12:19
Speaker 1: This is exactly, by the way, what should happen. And
12:21
Speaker 1: this is what fighting back looks like.
12:24
Speaker 2: If you want to.
12:25
Speaker 1: Poke in the eye the taxpayers and you want to
12:27
Speaker 1: screw with them the way that Disney has, you want
12:29
Speaker 1: to attack them and the values of the people around
12:32
Speaker 1: you that are helping prop you up. Then you should
12:35
Speaker 1: be ready for this. This is what should happen. This
12:39
Speaker 1: is what it would look like and what it should
12:42
Speaker 1: look like when you are held accountable for the actions
12:46
Speaker 1: of your business. Now, this has cost Disney some money.
12:50
Speaker 1: Some would say it's cost them a lot of money.
12:53
Speaker 1: It's cost them some. But what we've also noticed is
12:56
Speaker 1: there's a lot of pretty woosy Republican and Conservatives and
13:01
Speaker 1: Christians out there that that you know, they'll they'll complain
13:05
Speaker 1: over Disney's wokeism. They'll complain over Disney in doctrinating young people,
13:12
Speaker 1: uh and in doctrinating their kids in lgbt Q I
13:16
Speaker 1: A mandating that they have X number of leads that
13:20
Speaker 1: are gay or lesbian, or transsexual or bisexual, et cetera.
13:23
Speaker 1: Like they're they're they're changing all of this right, And
13:28
Speaker 1: there are a lot and I will tell you it's
13:29
Speaker 1: probably the most disappointing I've been in my friend group
13:35
Speaker 1: in a while. I cannot tell you how many Christian
13:40
Speaker 1: families I know that are still going to Disney. And
13:45
Speaker 1: I'm like, have you seen have you heard what Disney
13:47
Speaker 1: has done? Like, do you know what they've said in
13:50
Speaker 1: their own videos? Do you know what they are advocating
13:54
Speaker 1: for in their own words, in their own mandates within
14:00
Speaker 1: their company, and how they look at your child's brain
14:02
Speaker 1: is a thing to indoctrinate. They're like, oh, but I
14:05
Speaker 1: just want to go to Disney and have that beautiful
14:07
Speaker 1: moment with my kids.
14:08
Speaker 2: Okay, well, the look the Devil will.
14:11
Speaker 1: Give you beautiful moments, Like, a lot of things are
14:15
Speaker 1: really fun that and then you realize afterwards there's a consequence.
14:20
Speaker 1: It's one of the hardest things in life to learn
14:22
Speaker 1: is learning about those consequences. It's awful, especially when you're
14:26
Speaker 1: an adult. I've made mistakes. I'm sure most of you
14:29
Speaker 1: listening would admit that you've made mistakes in your life.
14:32
Speaker 1: And the things that you think are fun, right, there
14:35
Speaker 1: are consequences that come with it. But the fun is
14:37
Speaker 1: really fun, and you don't think about the consequences. That's
14:39
Speaker 1: why you make stupid decisions. That's what happens. But what
14:43
Speaker 1: Disney is saying is like, you can't act like you
14:45
Speaker 1: don't know what's happening, Like, you can't act like you
14:49
Speaker 1: don't know what Disney's goal is, Like Disney's goal is
14:55
Speaker 1: a very clear goal. Disney's goal is and they're objective,
15:00
Speaker 1: is to indoctrinate your kids.
15:01
Speaker 2: They've said that. We have the videos of them saying that.
15:05
Speaker 2: We know that.
15:07
Speaker 1: Disney has made it clear. This is what they are
15:10
Speaker 1: going to do to your child. This is their this
15:13
Speaker 1: is their objective. I mean, I'll give you an example.
15:17
Speaker 1: There's a scene from Disney from the Proud Family on
15:22
Speaker 1: Disney Plus, Zoe's the character who is white, and she's
15:26
Speaker 1: white and she gets berated by her friends for dating
15:29
Speaker 1: a black guy. This is part of that just indoctrination.
15:33
Speaker 1: This is just came out. By the way, Listen, miss.
15:36
Speaker 6: Proud, the only reason he asked hero out is because
15:40
Speaker 6: she's white.
15:45
Speaker 2: That's not true. Yes, it is true, right maya.
15:49
Speaker 8: Yep, my cousin saying Noah's favorite chocolate is white, noose worlds, you're.
15:53
Speaker 2: All just jealous that Noah asked me out and not you.
15:57
Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with me being white chocolate,
16:00
Speaker 1: not that a person can be white chocolate. It has
16:02
Speaker 1: everything to do with you. That is a real scene
16:11
Speaker 1: from the Proud Family on Disney Plus Zoe who's white's
16:14
Speaker 1: getting berated by her friends. For dating a black guy,
16:18
Speaker 1: implying the only reason when she got asked was because
16:19
Speaker 1: she's white. That's not the only thing Disney has in
16:22
Speaker 1: their cartoons, Robin DeAngelo is, white fragility is in Disney's
16:27
Speaker 1: cartoons now as well.
16:29
Speaker 2: Listen to this. Oh you understand, don't you know? No?
16:34
Speaker 9: I do not understand anything about white fragility.
16:38
Speaker 7: White fragility that's not supposed to.
16:40
Speaker 2: Be you know what I mean? You're doing it right now?
16:44
Speaker 2: What being defensive about?
16:46
Speaker 6: Prince D'Angelo wrote a whole book about.
16:50
Speaker 5: It, same.
16:54
Speaker 3: Cover and everything.
17:01
Speaker 1: At the tire room, he said, with never all sleeps.
17:05
Speaker 9: He just dismissed me like that.
17:12
Speaker 2: There it is.
17:13
Speaker 1: That is another Disney Plus cartoon that your kids can
17:17
Speaker 1: watch right now. Hands a book to the dude, hands
17:20
Speaker 1: a book to the dude and tells the dude, you'd
17:21
Speaker 1: better read this book, right, And if you don't read
17:23
Speaker 1: this book, then you're not woke, right, Like, what are
17:27
Speaker 1: you doing? You need to read this book. On the cover,
17:29
Speaker 1: it says white fragility.
17:30
Speaker 2: Why is it? Why it's so.
17:32
Speaker 1: Hard for all caps okay bold white people to talk
17:36
Speaker 1: about racism? Shows the dad, look at the book, put
17:39
Speaker 1: the book down. There next see he won't read the book,
17:40
Speaker 1: therefore he's a racist. So that's what they're indoctrinating your
17:44
Speaker 1: kids with a Disney. But you want to take your
17:46
Speaker 1: kids to Disney because you want a special moment.
17:49
Speaker 2: This is what they're making for your kids.
17:51
Speaker 1: These are cartoons that I just played for you for
17:53
Speaker 1: young children on Disney Plus. It's got a message from
17:57
Speaker 1: one of you guys online. You can follow me online Twitter,
17:59
Speaker 1: face book, of Instagram, Parlor Ben ferguson podcasts, wherever you can,
18:04
Speaker 1: you know, on any social media. But one of your
18:06
Speaker 1: cine messages has been I really don't think that Disney
18:10
Speaker 1: is trying to indoctrinate my children. I do think you're
18:12
Speaker 1: trying to talk about newer issues and not just be
18:15
Speaker 1: Mickey Mouse all the time. Okay, I don't believe that
18:20
Speaker 1: you would say that if I played for you the
18:22
Speaker 1: Walt Disney Companies internal massive conference they just had called
18:27
Speaker 1: Reimagining Tomorrow.
18:29
Speaker 2: Now this is internal.
18:30
Speaker 1: It was leaked last year, okay, and this was Walt
18:34
Speaker 1: Disney's rebirth as a company. Reimagining Tomorrow, all internal, all
18:39
Speaker 1: hands on deck. This is Disney's Diversity and Inclusion manager
18:43
Speaker 1: giving her presentation. To everyone watching online listen.
18:49
Speaker 7: Last summer week, we removed all of the gendered greetings
18:53
Speaker 7: and relationship to our live skills, so we no longer
18:56
Speaker 7: say ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. We've trained, we
19:00
Speaker 7: provided training for all of our cast members in relationship
19:03
Speaker 7: to that, so now they know it's hello everyone, or
19:06
Speaker 7: hello friends. We are in the process of changing over
19:09
Speaker 7: those those recorded messages, and so many of you are
19:11
Speaker 7: probably familiar when we brought the fireworks back to the
19:14
Speaker 7: Magic Kingdom. We no longer say ladies and gentlemen, boys
19:16
Speaker 7: and girls. We say dreamers of all ages. And so
19:18
Speaker 7: I love the fact that it's opened up the creativity,
19:21
Speaker 7: the opportunity for our cast members to look at that
19:24
Speaker 7: we have our cast members working with merchandise, working with
19:27
Speaker 7: food and beverage, working with all of our guest facing
19:30
Speaker 7: areas where perhaps you know, we want to create that
19:33
Speaker 7: magical moment with our cast members with our guests, and
19:37
Speaker 7: we don't want to just assume because someone might be
19:40
Speaker 7: in our interpretation maybe presenting this female that they may
19:43
Speaker 7: not want to be called princess. So let's think differently
19:46
Speaker 7: about how do we really engage with our guests in
19:49
Speaker 7: a meaningful and inclusive way that makes it magical and
19:52
Speaker 7: memorable for everyone.
19:54
Speaker 2: And okay, so let's just be clear about what was
19:58
Speaker 2: said there.
19:59
Speaker 1: We've decided to get rid of anything that deals with
20:02
Speaker 1: gender because we want everybody to feel kumba ya esk right,
20:06
Speaker 1: like that's what we want. We want everybody to feel
20:09
Speaker 1: like it's totally fine. Everything's good, nothing is bad. We're
20:15
Speaker 1: all gonna get like this is there's no negative here, right,
20:19
Speaker 1: there's no everything is good, everything is great, everything is okay,
20:25
Speaker 1: it's it's you know, this is this is the way
20:29
Speaker 1: reimagining tomorrow their words. Now, before I get into more
20:32
Speaker 1: of this story, I want to say thank you and
20:34
Speaker 1: tell you about our good friends.

21:07
Speaker 1: given rights and freedoms. So this year resolved to stop

21:46
Speaker 2: That's just one clip. Let me give you disease.
21:49
Speaker 1: Production coordinator and his team is now put together a
21:53
Speaker 1: quote tracker to make sure they're creating enough gender non
21:56
Speaker 1: conforming characters in space.
21:59
Speaker 9: Yeah. I've had the privilege of working with the Moon
22:02
Speaker 9: Girl team for the last two years and they've been
22:05
Speaker 9: really open to exploring queer stories and part of I'm
22:08
Speaker 9: on the production side, part of the work that I
22:12
Speaker 9: feel like I can put in is making sure that
22:15
Speaker 9: we take place in modern day New York, so making
22:18
Speaker 9: sure that that's like an accurate reflection of New York.
22:20
Speaker 9: So I put together like.
22:21
Speaker 10: A tracker of our background characters to make sure that
22:24
Speaker 10: we have like the full breadth of expression, and we
22:28
Speaker 10: got into a very similar conversation carry of like, oh,
22:32
Speaker 10: all of our like gender nonconforming characters are in the background,
22:37
Speaker 10: and so it's not just a numbers game of how
22:40
Speaker 10: many LGBTQ plus characters you have? We got the further
22:47
Speaker 10: the more centered a story is on a character, the
22:50
Speaker 10: more nuanced you get to get into their story. And
22:54
Speaker 10: especially with like trans characters, you can't see if someone
22:58
Speaker 10: is trans. There's not one way to looks and so
23:01
Speaker 10: kind of the only way to have these like canonical
23:05
Speaker 10: trans characters, canonical asexual characters, canonical bisexual characters, is to
23:10
Speaker 10: give them stories where they can like be their whole selves.
23:14
Speaker 1: Or they can be their whole selves. Okay, So I'll
23:16
Speaker 1: go back to what I just said a moment ago.
23:19
Speaker 1: Does it sound like they're just trying to get you
23:22
Speaker 1: to a point where it's inclusion or is this a
23:25
Speaker 1: point of indoctrination. Sounds a hell of a lot like
23:29
Speaker 1: indoctrinating your children to me, and if you don't think
23:32
Speaker 1: they're trying to indoctrinate your kids, then I think there's
23:38
Speaker 1: some confusion probably from you on what indoctrination sounds like. Like,
23:43
Speaker 1: if you don't believe this is indoctrinating a child, I
23:46
Speaker 1: don't know what else to tell you. Right, they're trying
23:49
Speaker 1: to indoctrinate your children. Hey, that's what they're trying to do.
23:53
Speaker 1: This is about indoctrination. Now, this is why Governor de
23:56
Speaker 1: Santis is standing up to them. This is why he's
23:59
Speaker 1: doing what he's doing here. And I'm glad that he is.
24:01
Speaker 2: It's important that he's doing it this way.
24:03
Speaker 1: But when you see these characters coming out the way
24:06
Speaker 1: that they're coming out, and look, the media is turning
24:08
Speaker 1: on Pence for doing this. Right, Mike Pence was asked
24:10
Speaker 1: about DeSantis going after Disney and and this is him
24:15
Speaker 1: trying to obviously distinguish himself from DeSantis.
24:18
Speaker 2: Listen, well, I would say to you two things.
24:20
Speaker 8: Number one is I fully supported Florida's initiative to protect
24:24
Speaker 8: kids and protect parental rights. I was just in Iowa
24:27
Speaker 8: last week where literally there's a school, the Lenmar Community School,
24:32
Speaker 8: will allow a student to get a gender transition plan
24:34
Speaker 8: without parental notification or approval. So we fully support what
24:40
Speaker 8: Florida did about protecting kids under the third grade, but
24:43
Speaker 8: I have concerns about the follow on. Look, Disney stepped
24:47
Speaker 8: into the fray they lost. But then by the idea
24:52
Speaker 8: taxing authority, I you know, I that was that was
24:56
Speaker 8: beyond the scope of what I, as a conservative, limited
24:59
Speaker 8: government Republican, be prepared to do.
25:01
Speaker 1: So there's Mike Pence bound down to Disney there. I
25:04
Speaker 1: love that Mike Pence is so quickly turning into Jeb
25:08
Speaker 1: Bush two point zero, Mitt Romney two point zero, Like
25:11
Speaker 1: it's amazing to me how quick they're doing this. DeSantis's
25:16
Speaker 1: attack right and the media again they're going to come
25:19
Speaker 1: after him with everything. I think this is a smart
25:22
Speaker 1: move by DeSantis. I think him going after them the
25:24
Speaker 1: way that he is going after them, I think it's brilliant.
25:27
Speaker 1: You know, I'll play one other thing for you. There's
25:30
Speaker 1: this bay Max, which is a character from Disney that
25:35
Speaker 1: actually showed a guy recommending the type of feminine pads
25:39
Speaker 1: that the dude uses in the grocer. There's a cartoon,
25:42
Speaker 1: so they're trying to tell your kids that a dude
25:44
Speaker 1: can wear a tampon or a Maxi pad. It's another
25:47
Speaker 1: example of the cartoons that they are willing to use
25:51
Speaker 1: to indoctrinate you. Is this Bay max the video from Disney.
25:59
Speaker 1: Your kids are probably watching this. And then this video
26:04
Speaker 1: Disney shows a guy recommending the type of tampon or
26:09
Speaker 1: pad that the character should use.
26:11
Speaker 2: Who's a dude?
26:12
Speaker 1: Women young and old are on the aisle shopping for tampons,
26:15
Speaker 1: and then the dudes like, oh, this is what I use.
26:17
Speaker 1: Listen carefully, excuse me, which of these products would you recommend? Oh?
26:28
Speaker 10: Well, these are the tampons I usually use.
26:31
Speaker 1: Thank you. I prefer pads. They're more comfortable for me.
26:34
Speaker 3: Thank you.
26:34
Speaker 6: I always get the ones with wings.
26:36
Speaker 4: Get him scented and bleach free if you can.
26:38
Speaker 1: Thank you.
26:39
Speaker 7: My daughter loves these.
26:40
Speaker 10: Thank These might be easier if it's her first period.
26:42
Speaker 6: These are really environmentally friendly.
26:45
Speaker 1: The dude has a trans shirt on, just so you know.
26:49
Speaker 1: So you have a robot that happens to be on
26:52
Speaker 1: the tampon aisle looking at these, and he looks at
26:54
Speaker 1: the woman and says to the woman, Hey, like, which
26:56
Speaker 1: one of these do you use or recommend?
26:59
Speaker 9: Right?
26:59
Speaker 1: And then you hear the onsought. There's the environmental friendly,
27:02
Speaker 1: so we'll go woke on that one. This is the
27:04
Speaker 1: one that I use if it's the first period. This
27:06
Speaker 1: the one I would use. I mean, you can you
27:08
Speaker 1: can hear it here. The list is pretty clear. This
27:10
Speaker 1: is all a list to normalize a male watching that
27:16
Speaker 1: a male where's tampons? I took a lot of heat
27:21
Speaker 1: over the weekend because I put out a did I
27:25
Speaker 1: take let me say, did I take heat for this?
27:28
Speaker 2: Holy cow?
27:29
Speaker 1: I took a ton of heat because I did something
27:32
Speaker 1: that was, I guess, politically incorrect. I put up the
27:37
Speaker 1: current world population and I put it up there, and
27:41
Speaker 1: then I said the people born from women, and I
27:43
Speaker 1: put up the exact number in the population eight billion,
27:47
Speaker 1: twenty five million, seven hundred, eighteen one and thirteen. It's
27:52
Speaker 1: the current world population. And I said people born from
27:54
Speaker 1: women eight million or eight billion, excuse me, twenty five million,
27:59
Speaker 1: seven hundred eighteen thousand, one and thirteen. And then I
28:03
Speaker 1: put this number up people born from men zero and
28:08
Speaker 1: then I put up feel free to fact check that
28:10
Speaker 1: they are coming after your kids, and they are coming
28:13
Speaker 1: after your kids' minds, okay, and they are not going
28:17
Speaker 1: to stop until they feel like they have won. They
28:22
Speaker 1: are going to keep coming after your kids, and they're
28:25
Speaker 1: going to keep coming after your kids' minds until they win.
28:31
Speaker 2: This is about winning for them. Okay, this.
28:36
Speaker 1: Is all about winning for them. They are not going
28:40
Speaker 1: to stop until they win, until they take over, until
28:45
Speaker 1: they own your children's minds. And they've done this for
28:48
Speaker 1: years now. We just weren't paying attention. But now they're
28:51
Speaker 1: not even hiding it anymore. It is out there in
28:53
Speaker 1: the open and they're proud of it.
28:55
Speaker 7: Now.
28:56
Speaker 1: DeSantis is trying to expose us and fight this. And
28:58
Speaker 1: I love this, and I think this is a good
29:00
Speaker 1: governor's job. Like you should know that, this is what
29:02
Speaker 1: they're doing, how they're doing it, why they're doing it. Okay,
29:06
Speaker 1: this is why they're doing it. This is how they're
29:08
Speaker 1: doing it. This is everything they've ever wanted to happen.
29:12
Speaker 1: It's a gift on a silver platter for them. Because
29:16
Speaker 1: there's not parents right now that are offended by this.
29:18
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, let's just get along, let's just keep
29:20
Speaker 1: kumbayyeing this right. Oh, we don't care if there's a
29:23
Speaker 1: trans guy out there showing what pad he uses in
29:27
Speaker 1: a cartoon. Oh we don't care if they're shaming someone
29:30
Speaker 1: for dating someone of the opposite sex and talking about
29:32
Speaker 1: white privilege.
29:33
Speaker 2: Right, like, we're fine with this.
29:34
Speaker 1: Keep going, keep going, And is there a line that
29:39
Speaker 1: they that they can cross that at some point will
29:42
Speaker 1: wake you up and say enough. They're winning and they're
29:47
Speaker 1: coming after you, and they're not going to stop. Okay,
29:51
Speaker 1: they're winning. They're coming after you and they are not
29:53
Speaker 1: going to stop. They're coming after your kids' minds, and
29:57
Speaker 1: they're putting men and corporations are putting men in there. Okay,
30:02
Speaker 1: corporations are saying, men, we want to get these trends.
30:06
Speaker 2: Let's go for it. Give this dude some money.
30:08
Speaker 1: I know he's a dude that's crazy, acting like a chick,
30:11
Speaker 1: but give them the money. Give him some sports bras
30:14
Speaker 1: with Nike on there, give them the sports bras. Let's go,
30:17
Speaker 1: right I let's go. Let's let's let's let's let's get
30:21
Speaker 1: this marketing going. And that's what they're now doing. So
30:25
Speaker 1: you can look the other way, but they're winning, or
30:28
Speaker 1: you can protect your kids' minds and stop giving your
30:30
Speaker 1: money to these corporations like bud Light and Disney. Hey,
30:33
Speaker 1: you can stop giving your money to Nike, who is
30:34
Speaker 1: trying to tell you that that it is normal for
30:36
Speaker 1: a guy.
30:37
Speaker 2: To wear a sports bra all right.
