Latest / The Ben Ferguson Podcast / DISNEY & THE NFL are trying to indoctrinate your kids, and grandkids! WHY ARE SO MANY ALLOWING THIS?!
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Indoctrinating your children is extremely important to the Left, whether
- 0:05Speaker 1: it's at Disney, whether it's in the NCAA and college level,
- 0:09Speaker 1: or even at the NFL level. Now, it is obvious
- 0:13Speaker 1: that there is a idea that these places are so
- 0:17Speaker 1: influential and so powerful that if they can mandate that
- 0:20Speaker 1: your kids believe in certain things and mandate that your
- 0:24Speaker 1: kids are indoctrinated in certain beliefs, that they can fundamentally
- 0:27Speaker 1: change this country. Now, a quick reminder, if you're listening

- 0:37Speaker 1: share this on social media, and if you would write
- 0:39Speaker 1: us a five star review to help us, as Democrats
- 0:42Speaker 1: have been attacking our podcasts recently with bad reviews. Now,
- 0:45Speaker 1: I'm going to explain this to you in just a moment.
- 0:48Speaker 1: I also want to let you know I am going
- 0:49Speaker 1: to give you another update on Hunter Biden and the
- 0:54Speaker 1: real possibility that Hunter Biden is going to be indicted
- 0:57Speaker 1: and the media is now going all in to pretend
- 1:00Speaker 1: Joe Biden the White House and his presidency. I'm going
- 1:03Speaker 1: to have that for you in a moment, But before
- 1:04Speaker 1: we get to that, I want to deal with this,
- 1:06Speaker 1: the NFL has just come out and the NFL teams
- 1:10Speaker 1: are now requiring that they hire women or minorities as
- 1:15Speaker 1: coaches for the twenty twenty two seasons. Some capacity on
- 1:18Speaker 1: the sideline, the National Football League is set forth a
- 1:22Speaker 1: new mandated diversity and inclusion effort for the twenty twenty
- 1:26Speaker 1: two season at its annual owners meeting. Such a requirement
- 1:30Speaker 1: is that all thirty two teams employ a female or
- 1:34Speaker 1: a member of an ethnic or racial minority as an
- 1:38Speaker 1: offensive assistant, the league said in a statement. Now to
- 1:42Speaker 1: be clear about this, this is the same woke group
- 1:46Speaker 1: that can't define what a woman was. Last week when
- 1:49Speaker 1: we were having a nomination hearing for the Supreme Court.
- 1:54Speaker 1: This is the same woke group that says, how dare
- 1:57Speaker 1: you try to find a woman? Well, my question is
- 2:00Speaker 1: can the National Football Team league owners decide what they
- 2:03Speaker 1: want a woman to be? If a Supreme Court justice
- 2:07Speaker 1: whose requirement to even have an opportunity at the job
- 2:09Speaker 1: had to be that she was a woman, who says
- 2:11Speaker 1: I'm not a biologist and I can't actually define what
- 2:14Speaker 1: a woman is, then maybe you could just play with
- 2:17Speaker 1: us and go, Okay, we've decided that Tom is a
- 2:19Speaker 1: woman in our eyes, and who are you to tell
- 2:21Speaker 1: us they're not. Obviously that's not gonna happen, but just
- 2:24Speaker 1: want to give them an idea. The thirty two teams
- 2:27Speaker 1: must employ a female or a member of an ethnic
- 2:30Speaker 1: or racial minority as an offensive assistant. Now I'm still
- 2:35Speaker 1: trying to figure out why it couldn't be defense special teams.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Apparently offense is important. They say Cannets must have at
- 2:42Speaker 1: least three years of collegiate or professional experience in coaching football.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Those persons who will receive a one year contract with
- 2:49Speaker 1: a salary and benefits, the organization announced. So in other words,
- 2:53Speaker 1: what this means is, we want you to have an
- 2:55Speaker 1: apprenticeship program. You're gonna put them on the offensive side
- 2:58Speaker 1: of the ball. Everybody's gonna have this potion. So no
- 3:00Speaker 1: team has a leg up or on another team because
- 3:03Speaker 1: they didn't actually just fill a quota. They found the
- 3:05Speaker 1: best person for the job. All of you were going
- 3:07Speaker 1: to fill a quota, and good luck finding a decent
- 3:09Speaker 1: person for this job. But you're all going to be
- 3:11Speaker 1: equal in competition because everybody is now going to be
- 3:15Speaker 1: saddled with this requirement. Now for the roles, the NFL
- 3:21Speaker 1: say they were reimbursed teams up to two hundred thousand
- 3:23Speaker 1: dollars in twenty twenty two and two hundred and five
- 3:27Speaker 1: twenty twenty three Free League Fund for coaches. So, in
- 3:30Speaker 1: other words, the NFL's even saying, we know this is horsecrap,
- 3:33Speaker 1: we know this is a PR stunt, we know this
- 3:35Speaker 1: is about checking a woke box. We're even going to
- 3:38Speaker 1: give you the money for this position. Now, this is
- 3:41Speaker 1: not actually helping women or ethnic minorities. I want to
- 3:43Speaker 1: be clear about this. This is nothing but grandstanding and
- 3:46Speaker 1: basically mocking them as a group. Hey, we're gonna go.
- 3:51Speaker 1: You have everybody has to hire a job, right, a
- 3:54Speaker 1: person for this job on the offensive side of the ball,
- 3:57Speaker 1: and all of you. You don't worry. You don't have
- 3:59Speaker 1: to pay for it. What Yeah, you don't have to
- 4:03Speaker 1: pay for it. What do you mean you don't have
- 4:04Speaker 1: to pay for it? No, no, no no, we're gonna give
- 4:07Speaker 1: you money. You're gonna don't worry, you're gonna pay. We're
- 4:09Speaker 1: gonna pay for this. We're gonna give you a two
- 4:10Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars of subsidize this PR stunt. Now, this
- 4:15Speaker 1: isn't actually helping women or ethnic minorities. This is just
- 4:17Speaker 1: mocking women and ethnic minorities, and the way that the
- 4:20Speaker 1: media is covering this are trying to act like this
- 4:22Speaker 1: is some huge deal. ABC News broke into their news
- 4:26Speaker 1: coverage to tell you about this. Listen. And the NFL
- 4:29Speaker 1: has announced new rules to guarantee more opportunities for minorities
- 4:32Speaker 1: and women. This comes after former Miami Dolphins head coach
- 4:35Speaker 1: Brian Flores filed a lawsuit against the league and three
- 4:38Speaker 1: of its teams for racial discrimination. Trevor Alt has more
- 4:41Speaker 1: from outside NFL headquarters in New York, Hi, Trevor Diane,
- 4:46Speaker 1: These are really big changes from the NFL as the
- 4:48Speaker 1: league has been facing increasing scrutiny and pressure from a
- 4:52Speaker 1: lot of people who say their minority initiatives simply we're
- 4:54Speaker 1: not doing enough. And so beginning this upcoming season, all
- 4:58Speaker 1: thirty two NFL teams will be rook wired to hire
- 5:00Speaker 1: a minority or woman in a prominent offensive coaching position.
- 5:05Speaker 1: The goal is to then create more highly sought after
- 5:08Speaker 1: head coaching minority candidates and then ultimately some more minority
- 5:12Speaker 1: head coaches, which a lot of people say they're simply
- 5:14Speaker 1: is not enough of those right now. This is a start,
- 5:17Speaker 1: By the way, I'm just curious, and I think probably
- 5:19Speaker 1: if you're a saying human being, you're going to be
- 5:22Speaker 1: thinking exactly how I'm thinking at this exact point when
- 5:25Speaker 1: you heard what I just told you, and that's this.
- 5:27Speaker 1: Are you going to start offering mandates and quotas for
- 5:30Speaker 1: white guys on the ball? I mean, there's not a
- 5:33Speaker 1: lot of white guys in the NFL compared to African Americans.
- 5:36Speaker 1: Are you gonna there's not a lot of Asian guys
- 5:37Speaker 1: in the NFL or other minorities outside of African Americans.
- 5:41Speaker 1: In fact, the majority of NFL players are in fact
- 5:44Speaker 1: African American. So my question is, are you going to
- 5:47Speaker 1: start mandating that other people based on the number of
- 5:53Speaker 1: positions that African Americans told in the NFL are being held.
- 5:56Speaker 1: Are you going to mandate that an Asian American, Hispanics
- 6:02Speaker 1: others right are going to get jobs in the NFL
- 6:05Speaker 1: playing NFL football? Are you gonna mandate that, hey, you
- 6:08Speaker 1: gotta have at least one white guy on the offensive line,
- 6:11Speaker 1: or at least one Asian or one Hispanic on the
- 6:14Speaker 1: offensive line. I'm curious because if we're going down this road,
- 6:18Speaker 1: then you should look at the makeup, and the makeup
- 6:20Speaker 1: is very clear, right, The makeup is obvious, isn't it.
- 6:27Speaker 1: The makeup of the NFL is made up of a
- 6:31Speaker 1: whole lot of African American football players who, by the way,
- 6:33Speaker 1: happened to be the best people to play those positions,
- 6:35Speaker 1: to the best athletes. I have no problem admitting that.
- 6:39Speaker 1: But if we're gonna go all PC here, we're gonna
- 6:41Speaker 1: do all these mandates, and surely this has to work
- 6:44Speaker 1: the other way, doesn't it. Right, sure surely this has
- 6:47Speaker 1: to go back the other direction. Now, that's not all
- 6:51Speaker 1: that they're saying about this, right, they're saying, Hey, we
- 6:53Speaker 1: there's these lawsuits and this is gonna be massive, and
- 6:56Speaker 1: we're breaking the news coverage ABC News. NFL is gonna
- 6:58Speaker 1: hire mandate requirements or team to hire minority or a
- 7:01Speaker 1: woman in a prominent offensive coaching position, and this is
- 7:04Speaker 1: somehow going to make the world a better place, which,
- 7:06Speaker 1: by the way, it's not. But let's just keep pushing
- 7:08Speaker 1: this propaganda. Potential expansion of what's called the Rooney Rule,
- 7:12Speaker 1: which up till now has only required teams to interview
- 7:17Speaker 1: one minority candidate before they hired a new head coach.
- 7:21Speaker 1: This is also the first time that women have been included.
- 7:23Speaker 1: And of course this change comes as the league is
- 7:25Speaker 1: facing a lawsuit from former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian
- 7:28Speaker 1: Flores alleging discrimination in the league's hiring practices, though the
- 7:33Speaker 1: league denies those allegations. So this is nothing more than
- 7:36Speaker 1: a PR stunt, that's all this is, folks Now. Former
- 7:41Speaker 1: NFL player also said, and this was two years ago,
- 7:44Speaker 1: not enough NFL to play to play the black national
- 7:47Speaker 1: anthem and saying we need to have the black national
- 7:49Speaker 1: anthem played right. We're gonna change all of this. NFL
- 7:52Speaker 1: commissioner said NFL players should stand for the national anthem
- 7:55Speaker 1: right in leagued audio, but in public. He is to
- 7:57Speaker 1: the complete opposite of this. This is what PC insanity
- 8:03Speaker 1: actually looks like and sounds like. You've got these female
- 8:08Speaker 1: and minority NFL coaches that are going to be hired
- 8:10Speaker 1: and subsidized, most importantly subsidized by the NFL. Everybody's going
- 8:16Speaker 1: to have to fill this quota. Everybody's going to have
- 8:18Speaker 1: to deal with this. And people are excited about this.
- 8:22Speaker 1: They think this is a great thing. This isn't helping
- 8:25Speaker 1: anyone By the way, this isn't helping minorities. This is
- 8:28Speaker 1: basically mocking minorities. This isn't helping women. This is basically
- 8:33Speaker 1: mocking women and the quota there now. In recent years,
- 8:37Speaker 1: head coaches have predominantly had offensive backgrounds, the NFL said,
- 8:41Speaker 1: which is why they believe that this resolution will assist
- 8:44Speaker 1: greatly in quote continuing to source and identify diverse candids
- 8:48Speaker 1: earlier in their career, providing pipeline depth, and further in
- 8:51Speaker 1: developing the diverse offensive pipeline. According to league data, the
- 8:56Speaker 1: percentage of people in color and coaching positions increase from
- 8:59Speaker 1: thirty five percent in twenty twenty to thirty nine twenty
- 9:02Speaker 1: twenty one. During that time, the number of minority general
- 9:05Speaker 1: managers increase from five to seven, the number of minority
- 9:08Speaker 1: assistant general managers went from three to six, and while
- 9:11Speaker 1: the number of minority defensive coordinators actually went from thirteen
- 9:15Speaker 1: to fifteen. Quote. While the increase is noted above is
- 9:19Speaker 1: a positive step, our diversity numbers are stagnant and the
- 9:22Speaker 1: head coach and special teams coordinator roles and have slightly declined.
- 9:26Speaker 1: In the offensive coordinator role, the team league statement says
- 9:29Speaker 1: the NFL League statement says the NFL will also now
- 9:32Speaker 1: consider women for all qualifying roles under the Rooney Rule
- 9:36Speaker 1: and an initiative established an OH three in which at
- 9:38Speaker 1: least two external minorities must be interviewed for head coaching
- 9:42Speaker 1: positions and one minority must be interviewed for a coordinator job. Before,
- 9:46Speaker 1: women could not only satisfy the requirement for positions such
- 9:49Speaker 1: as club president or senior executive. NFL teams are currently
- 9:53Speaker 1: submitting their diversity, equity and inclusion plans for the twenty
- 9:56Speaker 1: twenty two season. Some initiaism include diverse recruiting, Diversity and Inclusion,
- 10:03Speaker 1: education and Training, higher head of d EI, and a
- 10:08Speaker 1: pay equity analysis. The league said statement also said the
- 10:12Speaker 1: league would highly regard the inclusion of people from diverse
- 10:14Speaker 1: backgrounds when evaluating perspective ownership groups. So if you want
- 10:18Speaker 1: to own an NFL team, you better have some quotas
- 10:22Speaker 1: in there. You better check a lot of boxes, gays,
- 10:25Speaker 1: lesbian's minorities all over the place. And if you do that,
- 10:29Speaker 1: you've got a better chance in me own to buy
- 10:30Speaker 1: a team or own a team. Congratulations, we've destroyed everything
- 10:35Speaker 1: in this country, even football now with this type of
- 10:37Speaker 1: PC crap. This is also happening in other areas. It's happening,
- 10:43Speaker 1: for example, with Disney. Now. Disney right now is in
- 10:49Speaker 1: a pr nightmare, and the reason why is because they
- 10:52Speaker 1: had this Disney internal all hands on deck, Walt Disney
- 10:58Speaker 1: Company Conference, Virtual Conference Reimagining Tomorrow. All the Disney staff
- 11:05Speaker 1: is on there, from the theme parks to the movie producers,
- 11:09Speaker 1: and Disney Production is saying, look, we have got to
- 11:13Speaker 1: do a better job of creating enough gender nonconforming characters
- 11:18Speaker 1: and lead wrote roles. We got to have more gays, lesbians, transenter, bisexual, queers.
- 11:24Speaker 1: The list goes on and on, plus community and this
- 11:27Speaker 1: goes back to where are you spending your money right now? Now?
- 11:31Speaker 1: I've got in my timeline. I said this. I was
- 11:33Speaker 1: scrolling through my timeline, and I've probably got in the
- 11:36Speaker 1: last month, genuinely twenty friends, probably twenty good friends that
- 11:43Speaker 1: have posted pictures of them with their kids making dreams
- 11:46Speaker 1: come true, going to Disney World. I'm not blaming them,
- 11:49Speaker 1: I want to be clear, but I'm just saying we
- 11:51Speaker 1: have a problem as conservatives when our values are under
- 11:57Speaker 1: assault at a disgusting and vile level, and our kids
- 12:00Speaker 1: are being indoctrinated to believe this type of crap that
- 12:04Speaker 1: we don't know what a man is or a woman is,
- 12:06Speaker 1: and we take away positions from women. The NCAA, we
- 12:09Speaker 1: have a Supreme Court justice you know that is gonna
- 12:11Speaker 1: believes that she can't define what a woman is because
- 12:13Speaker 1: she's not a biologist. And then you've got the NFL
- 12:16Speaker 1: preaching this kind of crap right now. We still give
- 12:18Speaker 1: them our money, we still support them, which doesn't make
- 12:23Speaker 1: sense because they understand. They're not trying to change your
- 12:26Speaker 1: mind as an adult or my mind as adult. They're
- 12:28Speaker 1: just trying to indoctrinate our kids and our kids. They're
- 12:31Speaker 1: trying to indoctrinate them so that they will look at
- 12:33Speaker 1: us and think that we are the bigoted, most god
- 12:36Speaker 1: awful human beings on earth, that we are anti everything
- 12:40Speaker 1: that is good, That we are anti gay, lesbian, transgendered, bisexual,
- 12:45Speaker 1: whatever's on that list. We're anti minority, we're anti women,
- 12:49Speaker 1: we're at we're anti non binary, we're anti you know,
- 12:53Speaker 1: all of these things. They want to believe that you
- 12:55Speaker 1: abuse them as children by trying to buy them women's
- 12:59Speaker 1: clothes or boys clothes or girls clothes. Now, Disney and
- 13:04Speaker 1: this audio has come out and they're on damage control
- 13:06Speaker 1: right now because they didn't think that you were going
- 13:09Speaker 1: to see this. I'm going to play for you. A
- 13:11Speaker 1: Disney production coordinator saying his team is now to create
- 13:14Speaker 1: a tracker to make sure they're creating enough gender non
- 13:17Speaker 1: conforming characters, exploring more queer stories and roles listen in space. Yeah.
- 13:25Speaker 1: I've had the privilege of working with the Moon Girl
- 13:27Speaker 1: team for the last two years, and they've been really
- 13:30Speaker 1: open to exploring queer stories. And part of I'm on
- 13:33Speaker 1: the production side, part of the work that I feel
- 13:37Speaker 1: like I can put in is making sure that we
- 13:40Speaker 1: take place in modern day New York, so making sure
- 13:43Speaker 1: that that's like an accurate reflection of New York. So
- 13:45Speaker 1: I put together like a tracker of our background characters
- 13:48Speaker 1: to make sure that we have like the full breadth
- 13:50Speaker 1: of expression. And we got into a very similar conversation
- 13:54Speaker 1: carry of like, oh, all of our gender non conforming
- 14:00Speaker 1: characters are in the background, and so it's not just
- 14:02Speaker 1: a numbers game of how many LGBTQ plus characters you have.
- 14:08Speaker 1: We got the further the more centered a story is
- 14:14Speaker 1: on a character, the more nuanced you get to get
- 14:17Speaker 1: into their story. And especially with like trans characters, you
- 14:22Speaker 1: can't see if someone is trans. There's not one way
- 14:24Speaker 1: to look trans, and so kind of the only way
- 14:28Speaker 1: to have these like canonical trans characters, canonical asexual characters,
- 14:32Speaker 1: canonical bisexual characters, is to give them stories where they
- 14:36Speaker 1: can like be their whole selves, be their whole selves.
- 14:42Speaker 1: So they can be their whole selves, so that that's
- 14:45Speaker 1: part of Disney. Now you may think, Okay, I can
- 14:49Speaker 1: separate myself from that, right, that's internal. So what they're
- 14:53Speaker 1: gonna have a new queer characters and queer leads and
- 14:56Speaker 1: and all that, And I'm just I'm not I'm not
- 14:58Speaker 1: advocating for that. Man. I'd just take give my kids
- 15:00Speaker 1: to the park, right, I'm just That's all I'm doing.
- 15:03Speaker 1: I'm just taking my kids to the park. So don't
- 15:06Speaker 1: don't give me a hard time on this, Okay, all right, Well,
- 15:09Speaker 1: guess what they're doing at the parks. Disneyland and Disney
- 15:12Speaker 1: World will no longer mention ladies, gentlemen, boys, girls in
- 15:16Speaker 1: their theme park because they don't think that's fair to
- 15:19Speaker 1: put that pressure on your children when you go there
- 15:22Speaker 1: to pick if they're a lady or a gentleman or
- 15:24Speaker 1: a boy or a girl. Last summer we removed all
- 15:27Speaker 1: of the gendered greetings and relationship to our life skills,
- 15:32Speaker 1: so we no longer say ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.
- 15:35Speaker 1: We've trained, we've provided training for all of our cast
- 15:39Speaker 1: members in relationship to that, so now they know it's
- 15:41Speaker 1: it's hello everyone or hello friends. We are in the
- 15:44Speaker 1: process of changing over those those recorded messages, and so
- 15:47Speaker 1: many of you are probably familiar when we brought them
- 15:49Speaker 1: Fireworks back to the Magic Kingdom. We no longer say
- 15:52Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. We say dreamers of
- 15:54Speaker 1: all ages. And so I love the fact that it's
- 15:56Speaker 1: opened up the creativity, the opportunity for our cast members
- 15:59Speaker 1: to at that we have our cast members working with merchandise,
- 16:04Speaker 1: working with food and beverage, working with all of our
- 16:06Speaker 1: guest facing areas where perhaps you know, we want to
- 16:09Speaker 1: create that magical moment with our cast members with our guests,
- 16:13Speaker 1: and we don't want to just assume because someone might
- 16:15Speaker 1: be in our interpretation maybe presenting this female that they
- 16:20Speaker 1: may not want to be called princess. So let's think
- 16:22Speaker 1: differently about how do we really engage with our guests.
- 16:25Speaker 1: And remember, your daughter may not want to be called princess? Right,
- 16:30Speaker 1: How dare us assume that a little girl wants to
- 16:33Speaker 1: be a princess even though her whole life's dream is
- 16:35Speaker 1: to come and see the Princess and Cinderella and snow
- 16:38Speaker 1: White and all these other things at Disney World or Disneyland.
- 16:41Speaker 1: No, no no, no, we can't assume that. Now. Who are
- 16:43Speaker 1: we to assume that your a little girl wants to
- 16:46Speaker 1: be called princess? So let's think differently about how do
- 16:49Speaker 1: we really engage with our guests in a meaningful and
- 16:52Speaker 1: inclusive way that makes it magical and memorable for everyone?
- 16:55Speaker 1: And yeah, there it is. You got to make it
- 16:58Speaker 1: magical and memorable for everyone. So do not assume that
- 17:02Speaker 1: you can call a little girl princess. Now, of course
- 17:05Speaker 1: that may not be enough, right, You just want to
- 17:07Speaker 1: look the other way. You want to give your kid
- 17:09Speaker 1: the Disney experience, or your grandkid that is experienced because
- 17:11Speaker 1: you went, and you should be able to go and
- 17:14Speaker 1: take them and have that moment. Is there other places
- 17:16Speaker 1: you can go and have your kids have a great time? Yes?
- 17:19Speaker 1: Are your kids going to die if they don't go
- 17:20Speaker 1: to Disney World? No? They're not okay, are you going
- 17:24Speaker 1: to ruin your kid's life? And they're upg going if
- 17:25Speaker 1: you don't take them Disney World, of course not, but
- 17:27Speaker 1: it's easy to say yes. So let's move on to
- 17:30Speaker 1: Disney's corporate president, who says she supports having many, many,
- 17:34Speaker 1: many many lgbt q i A characters in our stories,
- 17:40Speaker 1: in our leads. This is a Disney executive president. And
- 17:44Speaker 1: here's what she has to say about her own kids.
- 17:46Speaker 1: I'm here as a mother of two queer children, actually
- 17:52Speaker 1: one transgender child and one hand sexual child. Now this
- 17:59Speaker 1: is who's in charge of isn't okay? This is their
- 18:01Speaker 1: top one of their top executives. I had to go
- 18:04Speaker 1: back and look up pan sexual. Pan Sexual is the romantic, emotional,
- 18:08Speaker 1: and or sexual attraction to people regardless of their gender.
- 18:13Speaker 1: Like everyone else. Pan Sexual people maybe attracted some people
- 18:16Speaker 1: and not others, but the gender of the person does
- 18:18Speaker 1: not matter. People of any gender identify identity, can and
- 18:24Speaker 1: do identify as pan sexual. That's the definition sexual or
- 18:31Speaker 1: romantic attraction to people regardless of their gender. So she's
- 18:34Speaker 1: got and that's in the quote bisexual category. But pan sexual,
- 18:38Speaker 1: they say, is more important that you don't just say
- 18:40Speaker 1: that someone's bisexual. In other words, sex of the person
- 18:44Speaker 1: doesn't matter. You're just attracted to different people regardless of
- 18:47Speaker 1: their sex. So that's not bisexual, is what they're saying.
- 18:50Speaker 1: It's somehow different. Okay, this is just one of those areas.
- 18:54Speaker 1: And so this woman says, Look, not only do I
- 18:56Speaker 1: have a transgender child, I have a pan sexual child
- 19:00Speaker 1: out and I'm waiting for them to throw an omnisexual
- 19:02Speaker 1: or polysexual. Those are two new categories. If you don't
- 19:04Speaker 1: know about them, you can google them out. I'll be
- 19:06Speaker 1: real fun for you. Good luck with that. But she's saying,
- 19:10Speaker 1: I'm a corporate president. I'm Disney corporate president, and as
- 19:14Speaker 1: a mother, I've got a pan sexual child and a
- 19:17Speaker 1: transgender child. So this is really important to me to
- 19:19Speaker 1: indoctrinate these kids and listen to what she says. And
- 19:23Speaker 1: also as a leader. And that was a thing that
- 19:27Speaker 1: really got me because I have heard so much from
- 19:30Speaker 1: so many of my colleagues over the course of the
- 19:32Speaker 1: last couple of weeks in open forums and through emails
- 19:36Speaker 1: and phone conversations, and I feel responsibility to speak not
- 19:42Speaker 1: just for myself but for them, to all of us.
- 19:45Speaker 1: We had a We had an open forum last week
- 19:47Speaker 1: at twentieth were again the home of really incredible groundbreaking
- 19:53Speaker 1: LGBTQIA stories over the years, where one of our execs
- 19:58Speaker 1: stood up and said, you know, we only have a
- 20:01Speaker 1: handful of queer leads. Think about this. Disney is not
- 20:07Speaker 1: making movies that are entertaining your children. What she's saying
- 20:11Speaker 1: is Disney's making movies to indoctrinate your children. Well, but
- 20:17Speaker 1: then I gotta go to Disney World, my kid. It's
- 20:19Speaker 1: just a part of life. Right. I'm gonna look either
- 20:20Speaker 1: way and give them thousands of dollars because Disney is
- 20:23Speaker 1: a thousand dollars proposition now right, It's not fifty bucks
- 20:26Speaker 1: on one hundred dollars. It's a thousand proposition. That's what
- 20:30Speaker 1: it is. Thousands. And this woman is saying, we are
- 20:34Speaker 1: not picking leads anymore by just what the best story is.
- 20:37Speaker 1: You walk in with a princess story, and we're probably
- 20:39Speaker 1: gonna change it to two dudes or two chicks or
- 20:41Speaker 1: fans actual or gay or lesbian. We're gonna make movies
- 20:46Speaker 1: where the dads or the stay at home dads and
- 20:48Speaker 1: the moms are the working women. We're gonna change it
- 20:50Speaker 1: all up and indoctrinate your kid to think that your
- 20:52Speaker 1: family and the way your family is living is weird.
- 20:57Speaker 1: This president is telling you that they are trying to
- 21:00Speaker 1: doctrinate your children to believe everything opposite of what traditional
- 21:08Speaker 1: values are in our content. And I went, what that
- 21:13Speaker 1: can't be true, and I and I realized, oh, it
- 21:17Speaker 1: actually is true. We have many, many, many lgbtq QIA characters.
- 21:22Speaker 1: By the way, just thinking about this, how many of
- 21:23Speaker 1: you didn't even know that? Right this, this present is
- 21:26Speaker 1: shocked that there weren't leads. Right, she can't believe that
- 21:30Speaker 1: there weren't many, many, many lead characters that were gay, lesbian, transgender, bisexual, queer.
- 21:35Speaker 1: The I A right, whatever all this means. And she's
- 21:40Speaker 1: shocked when they stood up and said in a meeting
- 21:42Speaker 1: recently that we don't have enough leads, and she's like, well,
- 21:45Speaker 1: hold on, we have many, many, many, many characters in
- 21:48Speaker 1: our stories at our lgbt QIA. How can it be
- 21:52Speaker 1: that there's enough leads? Well, we got to fix that
- 21:54Speaker 1: problem because we are indoctrinating children in our stories, and
- 22:00Speaker 1: and yet we don't have enough leads and narratives in
- 22:06Speaker 1: which gay characters just get to be characters and not.
- 22:11Speaker 1: That's a very important point, by the way, this Disney
- 22:13Speaker 1: corporate presence saying they don't just want the character to
- 22:17Speaker 1: be gay, they want it to be normal, which means
- 22:20Speaker 1: you have to shove this out into the public as
- 22:23Speaker 1: often as you can, as fast as you can, because
- 22:27Speaker 1: the only way to normalize it is to make it
- 22:30Speaker 1: where kids see eight, nine, ten, twelve, fifteen, eighteen, twenty
- 22:35Speaker 1: different stories where the leads are transgenderal or queer, bisexual,
- 22:40Speaker 1: or gay, and at some point it becomes as normal
- 22:43Speaker 1: as a dude in a chick It becomes as normal
- 22:47Speaker 1: as the normal love stories that we've had of the
- 22:51Speaker 1: of the Prince and the Princess of Disney. Now, we
- 22:53Speaker 1: need two princes or two queens. That's what we need.
- 22:58Speaker 1: That's what we're asking for here. That's what she's saying.
- 23:01Speaker 1: I'm not saying it, she just said it in her
- 23:04Speaker 1: own words. She's saying that this is what we need.
- 23:08Speaker 1: We have to have this, and without this, we're not
- 23:11Speaker 1: going to you know, we're not going to be able
- 23:13Speaker 1: to change the hearts and minds of children. Are you
- 23:16Speaker 1: paying attention now? Again? Mostly right now? Don't like what
- 23:19Speaker 1: I'm saying because this means that you would actually have
- 23:21Speaker 1: to stand up for what you believe in, and you'd
- 23:23Speaker 1: actually have to say, Okay, I'm going to cancel Disney. Plus,
- 23:26Speaker 1: I'm going to not take my kid to Disney World.
- 23:29Speaker 1: I'm gonna not buy them Disney toys. I'm not going
- 23:31Speaker 1: to take them to the Disney movies. Right, And that's hard. Well,
- 23:37Speaker 1: when you fast forward fifteen years from now and you're
- 23:39Speaker 1: five year old now thinks that you're a bigot and
- 23:42Speaker 1: a racist and your anti LGBTQ, and they tell that
- 23:46Speaker 1: you raise them in a terrible way. Remember all of
- 23:49Speaker 1: what I just told you. Please, I beg of you.
- 23:53Speaker 1: Remember where they were getting indoctrinated, and the entire time
- 23:57Speaker 1: you were paying for it. You were the one that
- 24:01Speaker 1: was paying for your children to go in a different
- 24:04Speaker 1: direction than the way that you were raised or brought up. Now,
- 24:07Speaker 1: if that's what you want, then knock yourself out. Disney
- 24:10Speaker 1: is the place for you. I'll also make that very clear.
- 24:13Speaker 1: Disney is the place for you. Knock yourself out. If
- 24:17Speaker 1: this is what you want, you're gonna get it from Disney.
- 24:21Speaker 1: They're happy to deliver it to you, hand wrap it
- 24:25Speaker 1: with trackers that tell you just how many gay, lesbian, transgender, bisexual,
- 24:30Speaker 1: non binary roles are out there for your kid to
- 24:34Speaker 1: be indoctrinated with. They want you to know that they're
- 24:39Speaker 1: going to take care of this for you. Why do
- 24:42Speaker 1: you think they're talking about it so openly. Listen to
- 24:45Speaker 1: the end of the Disney Corporate present saying she supports,
- 24:48Speaker 1: we need more leads. We've got to normalize the leads.
- 24:50Speaker 1: We have to make so many leads gay, lesbian, and
- 24:53Speaker 1: transgender that the kids don't even notice it. I have
- 24:56Speaker 1: to be about gay stories and so that's been very
- 25:00Speaker 1: eye opening for me. And and I can tell you
- 25:06Speaker 1: it's something that I feel perhaps had this moment not happened, I,
- 25:12Speaker 1: as a leader in me is my colleagues would not
- 25:14Speaker 1: have focused on and going forward, I certainly will be
- 25:18Speaker 1: more so I know that we will be. And and
- 25:23Speaker 1: I hope this is a moment where she fifty percent
- 25:27Speaker 1: of the tears sorry coming. I want you to be clear,
- 25:31Speaker 1: this woman cares so much about this, she's actually crying
- 25:34Speaker 1: right now. This is how much she is going to
- 25:38Speaker 1: be focused on changing the way that your child looks
- 25:41Speaker 1: to the word world. In doctoring your child to believe
- 25:43Speaker 1: that a man can be a woman, a woman can
- 25:45Speaker 1: be a man, and that you can't define what a
- 25:47Speaker 1: woman actually is. There was a new pull out recently
- 25:51Speaker 1: among those thirty five and under, and it said more
- 25:53Speaker 1: than fifty percent said you cannot define a woman as
- 25:55Speaker 1: a woman or a man as a man, That there's
- 25:58Speaker 1: not one man, that there's no such thing as a
- 26:01Speaker 1: woman as just in DNA, or there's no saying as
- 26:04Speaker 1: a man when it comes to DNA. That's what this
- 26:06Speaker 1: actually said. How do you do that? You just change
- 26:11Speaker 1: the hearts of the minds by indoctrinating them through cartoons,
- 26:16Speaker 1: children into believing what I just said to you, what
- 26:20Speaker 1: she just said, and why she's crying wet. We just
- 26:26Speaker 1: don't allow each other to go backwards. We don't allow
- 26:29Speaker 1: each other to go backwards. Now, this is again, you
- 26:36Speaker 1: have a choice to make. Do you keep giving your
- 26:38Speaker 1: money to Disney so they can keep indoctrinent your kids
- 26:40Speaker 1: to turn your kids against you and your traditional values.
- 26:42Speaker 1: Do you keep going to Disney giving them the money
- 26:44Speaker 1: to do what they're doing right now? To quote reimagine tomorrow.
- 26:48Speaker 1: This is the name of their conference they had, and
- 26:51Speaker 1: then they bring in these activists. Disney Activism partner Nadine
- 26:56Speaker 1: Smith got a keynote role at this conference, telling the
- 26:59Speaker 1: lg BTQ employees that quote, conservatives will criminalize your existence
- 27:05Speaker 1: and take your kids. Now, this is not happening. They
- 27:09Speaker 1: say it's happening in place like Forida and Texas. It's not.
- 27:12Speaker 1: You know, they just went after They don't say gay
- 27:14Speaker 1: bill in Florida. You may have seen that, right, they
- 27:16Speaker 1: don't say gay bill didn't exist. It doesn't say the
- 27:19Speaker 1: word gay anywhere in the bill. But they're lying to
- 27:22Speaker 1: you about it, right, that's all that matters. They're going
- 27:25Speaker 1: to keep lying to you because it's that important to
- 27:27Speaker 1: indoctrinate your children, and they believe that the and this
- 27:32Speaker 1: is what they're going to tell your children through these stories,
- 27:37Speaker 1: is that your children should be ashamed of the Republican
- 27:40Speaker 1: Party and of the GOP because they are trying to
- 27:43Speaker 1: take away parents children. If the parents are gay or lesbian,
- 27:47Speaker 1: or transsexual or bisexual or whatever. It is not a
- 27:50Speaker 1: single Republicans trying to do this. They're going to tell
- 27:53Speaker 1: you though, that the GOP, not only they trying to
- 27:56Speaker 1: take away your kids, are the biggest bigots and they're
- 27:59Speaker 1: gonna trying to criminalize people for being gay, lesbian. No
- 28:02Speaker 1: Republicans trying to do that right now, by the way,
- 28:04Speaker 1: But that's what they're telling your kids. Listen to this coverage.
- 28:08Speaker 1: But the context is also who is pushing it, what
- 28:12Speaker 1: their record is, and what the history is in Florida.
- 28:15Speaker 1: You know, you can go back to the fifties to
- 28:17Speaker 1: the John's Committee, where the legislature was actively put together
- 28:22Speaker 1: a task force whose whole job was to root out
- 28:25Speaker 1: civil rights workers and any homosexuals in the university system
- 28:29Speaker 1: and destroyed lives literally, people committed suicide behind the relentless attack.
- 28:35Speaker 1: And then you have Anita Bryant, and many of us
- 28:37Speaker 1: are of an age to remember a Nita Bryant Save
- 28:40Speaker 1: Our Children campaign which was premised on the same the
- 28:43Speaker 1: same ideas that undergird this bill. And because of her
- 28:48Speaker 1: campaign that it equated being gay with being a child predator,
- 28:54Speaker 1: she was able to pass a ban on gay people
- 28:57Speaker 1: being able to adopt a marriage ban, and then she
- 28:59Speaker 1: took that nationwide. And so when we react to this,
- 29:03Speaker 1: a lot of us are reacting from the pain we
- 29:05Speaker 1: experience of being isolated and stigmatized in school, or also
- 29:09Speaker 1: reacting from the reality there. When they can erase you,
- 29:12Speaker 1: when they can criminalize your existence, when they can demonize
- 29:15Speaker 1: who you are, the next step is to criminalize you
- 29:19Speaker 1: and take your kids. Okay, let's just back up for
- 29:24Speaker 1: a second. Disney is now saying that the GOP will
- 29:29Speaker 1: criminalize your existence and take away your kids. You just
- 29:32Speaker 1: heard it, criminalize you being gay, lesbian. There's not a
- 29:36Speaker 1: single Republican out there that I know, in any leadership role,
- 29:38Speaker 1: that wants to lock up people if they say they're
- 29:40Speaker 1: gay or lesbian. That's absurd, it's not happening, doesn't matter.
- 29:45Speaker 1: This is what Disney is selling. Okay, this is what
- 29:48Speaker 1: Disney is trying to sell to you. This is what
- 29:50Speaker 1: they want you to believe, not you, your kids, that's
- 29:54Speaker 1: a better way of saying it. Your children. They want
- 29:57Speaker 1: your children to leave this. They believe that your children
- 30:03Speaker 1: should believe this. And so they're telling these employees just
- 30:10Speaker 1: know and you need to understand that these Republicans want
- 30:13Speaker 1: to lock you up, they want to criminalize your existence,
- 30:20Speaker 1: and they want to take away your children, parents, grandparents.
- 30:27Speaker 1: You have a choice to make. Are you going to
- 30:30Speaker 1: continue to make these people famous and rich so they
- 30:34Speaker 1: can turn your children against you, or are you're going
- 30:36Speaker 1: to take up a stand now. There's plenty of other
- 30:38Speaker 1: entertainment out there. There are other places to take your
- 30:42Speaker 1: children besides Disney World. And the only reason why Disney
- 30:46Speaker 1: World is important to your kids because you've told them
- 30:48Speaker 1: it's important. You've created an environment where Disney World is everything. Okay,
- 30:54Speaker 1: that's what this is. That's what's happened here. You need
- 30:56Speaker 1: to understand that they don't think that Disney is important.
- 31:03Speaker 1: If it wasn't for you telling them it's important, and
- 31:08Speaker 1: buying all the Disney stuff to tell them it's important,
- 31:10Speaker 1: showing them all the Disney things, telling them it's important,
- 31:13Speaker 1: none of this would matter. Otherwise, none of it. We
- 31:25Speaker 1: can look the other way as parents and grandparents, and
- 31:28Speaker 1: we can lose an entire generation of these people, these activists,
- 31:33Speaker 1: and they will turn your kids against you when you
- 31:36Speaker 1: indoctrinate kids at this age. Do not be surprised if
- 31:39Speaker 1: you just allow this to go on in your home
- 31:44Speaker 1: and for this to be watched in your home. Okay,
- 31:48Speaker 1: do not be surprised if when your kids hit the
- 31:51Speaker 1: ages of sixteen, eighteen twenty, they don't talk to you anymore.
- 31:56Speaker 1: Don't be surprised if they don't let you see your
- 31:59Speaker 1: grandkids one day, it's already happening. I know people now
- 32:02Speaker 1: who haven't even met their grandkids because they had their
- 32:05Speaker 1: kids grow up in a traditional Christian family home, and
- 32:09Speaker 1: their kids have been indoctrinated to believe that their parents
- 32:11Speaker 1: are bigots and racists, and literally they hold their grandkids
- 32:14Speaker 1: ransom from the grandparents because you can't be friends with
- 32:19Speaker 1: people that believe in traditional marriage. That's what they are
- 32:21Speaker 1: being indoctrited to believe. That's something you're not allowed to do.
- 32:29Speaker 1: I've warned you, you get to make the choice. It's
- 32:32Speaker 1: your family. But when your kids turn against you one
- 32:35Speaker 1: day and they don't take your phone calls and they
- 32:37Speaker 1: don't show up for Christmas or Thanksgiving, this is why,
- 32:42Speaker 1: and the large part of it is going to be
- 32:44Speaker 1: your fault because you didn't take a stand and you
- 32:47Speaker 1: didn't say no, because it was easier to let them
- 32:50Speaker 1: watch Disney movies and be indoctrinated by these people who
- 32:53Speaker 1: are telling you that they're indoctrinating your kids and that
- 32:58Speaker 1: the movies are no longer entertainment, they're propaganda, all right.
- 33:02Speaker 1: I hope all of you that are listening right now,
