>> Disney decides that it is going to let itself be taken over by the LGBTQIA+
minus, divided by sine, a little carrot thingy, a little squiggly that goes above the letters
in spanish group. When they decided that they're going to allow their company to be re-normalized
by the radical trans activists inside the company.
They lose the business and they will lose business and they should lose business.
And this just demonstrates once again, America's biggest corporations are being
held hostage by the woke because they are cowards. They're absolute cowards.
So here's the thing about working here at the Daily Wire, we pay you to work here.
You do not dictate to us how the company is run,
that's absurd. >> I think it's absolutely
insane to think that employees have no rights in the workplace, have no say over how they're
treated. But this is a guy who wants labor to have absolutely no power, I'll never forget it.
Never forget also as was pointed out by George B in the chat. The right has two
versions of one joke, I identify it as an attack helicopter and LGBTQJD.
They're putting other things there. They got symbols and stuff. We're talking about
people's fundamental humanity. I know that it's a joke to people like Ben Shapiro,
but these people don't wanna be erased from public consciousness, erased from discussion.
They don't want the kids of gay couples to feel like outcasts.
So look, some people have expectations for massive corporation like Disney. By the way, so
does he. So the ruse, the con that is baked into everything that Ben Shapiro is saying there is,
it is wrong of these leftists to believe that a corporation should care about what they want.
And how dare you threaten Disney with retracting your support if they don't
give you what they want. Also, if Disney doesn't support our side, we're gonna bankrupt them.
That's the con, you have to follow. You have to support our politicians,
our legislation, our values. Is that's just reasonable, I mean, it's in the bible.
Them expecting you to do the same with reasonable humane
policies, that's craziness. So just don't miss what Ben Shapiro is doing there. But Bret,
I wanna give you a chance to jump in before we transition to the important part of this. Dude,
trucker protest. You're on the side of the truckers telling the companies what to do.
You can't do a mandate. This is not my point. This is what JR said this
morning. Mask mandates all that stuff, if the companies are gonna say you need to wear a mask,
if you're on the production line. Which is it, that's a safety standard. I have
a video coming up on Rebel HQ, when we've got Sarah Palin saying the vice president,
Kamala Harris should go to an oil field because they have great standards for safety there.
It's like, yeah, because labor movement. >> Because labor, yes.
>> Because all of that, you total moron. And also he always says,
people in this longer version of that. He says that, you're gonna count out to
people because a man wanna cosplay as a woman. Dude, I'm a Jewish human being.
You wear a Yamaka, you're cosplaying. You have an outfit that you wear based on your
personal identity, right? Why can't you let someone else have that same freedom,
you total idiot. And if I were the coward, you're doing stupid cosplaying. You might say,
Brett stop being a jerk to me and that's fine and I think I should stop being a jerk to you.
Why don't you stop being such a jerk to people who just wanna live their life according to
their beliefs and who they are as individuals? Isn't that the fundamental underpinning of your
concept of liberalism. >> Yeah.
>> The individual over the collective, let those individuals live their lives.
>> I think that sounds very reasonable.
And we believe that employees should be able to have a say like this. And in fact in this case,
he hates the fact that this walkout is happening. Because we have now gotten to the point where
employees Disney have staged walkouts as well as coordinated social media campaigns yesterday.
You can see right there, the walkout happening. There had been a week of what were being called
abbreviated walkouts. During scheduled breaks during part of what's being called Disney
do better. But now it's progressed to fall on walkouts to demonstrate how much they care about
this. Their passion for this issue and their lack of interest in being affiliated with the company
that has paid massive amounts of money by people who believe that it's like family friendly.
And whatever, but is in fact supporting politicians who are passing legislation,
not just in Florida, but in multiple states to say that we like certain sorts of families. The rest,
I guess we can't technically outlaw you. So at the very least, we're gonna shove you in the closet.
Shut up, don't talk about what your family is like, we're not interested.
As long as Disney is supporting politicians like DeSantis, that is
what the message that they're sending to their employees and to their fan
base. And so we've got some more photos, we can show you of the walkouts happening.
We'll love to see that, we want to see employees getting organized.
Whether it's about their conditions inside of the job but their job is doing all of that.
That Disney has put out a response saying, to all who come to this happy place,
welcome. Disney Parks experiences and products is committed to creating experiences that support
family values for every family, and will not stand for discrimination in any form.
We oppose any legislation that infringes on basic human rights and stand in solidarity and support
our LGBTQIA+ Cast, Crew, and Imagineers and fans who make their voices heard today and every day.
That's the statement that they've got out now. It has been an evolving
statement over the past couple of weeks because back on the seventh.
We're not gonna run you through every step, I'm sure you've been following to some extent. But
the CEO of Disney was very defensive initially, about being criticized over supporting politicians
in Florida and all of that. And it's steadily gotten better as there's been more and more
sustained pressure including by the way, a big drop off in their stock price.
So I'm sure that probably had the most causal impact. But people care about this stuff
and their right too. I don't think that's anything to be ashamed about no matter how much Ben Shapiro
might screech about it. What do you think Bret? >> That statement has evolved because of pressure
and in that evolution it has gotten better.
And I think
Ben Shapiro would support, I would think that he would support some kind of freedom of speech
protections for employees to improve things. Also, he said in his statement, listen, we run the
company, we tell you what to do. If you told us how to run the company that would be ridiculous.
Listen, I have been an employee of many companies and if I told them how to run a department that
I have no knowledge about, that makes sense. But according to
Ben Shapiro's own logic, he could tell his employees to walk into a fire.
>> Yeah. >> And if they said that
sounds dangerous, he would say that is absurd, that you would tell me how to run my company.
There are fundamental protections for people. And also Disney, to say that Disney is insanely woke
is not the truth. His Disney is insanely cautious. >> Yeah.
>> There's statements from the Pixar employees who say, yeah, we try to put
some kind of LGBTQ friendly things into these movies and that every time we're told to stop.
I've worked with Disney many times, there are so many restrictions. It's true,
I tried to put a monkey in a video and they said, you have to do a drawing of
the monkey and don't get us started on our history with primates. I was like,
I don't know what that is, but they have a lot of very specific rules because-
>> I don't know what that is either unless you're talking about the multiple racist
depictions that they've done of different people. >> Are we talking of animals on set, basically.
>> And the way that you anthropomorphize monkeys or primates in ways that you
wouldn't with other animals. You would treat animals more like, anyways, so it's a lot.
>> Sure. >> There's just
like a special orangutans, it was in one of the bylaws. So I was like, I have no clue but
apparently there was a very specific orangutan incident. But if corporations are people,
they're people that wanna stay alive and so they'll do a lot of things to stay alive.
And they'll sacrifice people if they need to be opportunistic to stay alive.
And all we're saying is like, yo, if you wanna stay alive, you gotta treat people better.
>> Yeah. >> Or we'll withhold our
commerce. I feel like that's a pretty above board straightforward relationship. And believe me,
these companies will find the lowest common denominator, the best approach to minimize risk.
They have tons of actuaries who do that all stinking day.
>> Yeah. >> Then as
a result, we'll get better, it'll get better. >> Yeah, I will enclose by reminding you that
you being willing to withhold your financial support if they don't support your values is
exactly what he is telling his side to do while shaming you for doing that.
So don't miss it.
