00:00:00.000 We have our heading.
00:00:11.340 Here we go!
00:00:14.020 From the magic within our hearts
00:00:16.640 to the adventure beyond the horizon
00:00:20.600 there is only one Disney.
00:00:30.000 Here we go!
00:01:00.120 Today we are going to do a breakdown episode
00:01:03.300 all about Disney.
00:01:05.820 Walt Disney, the Walt Disney Company,
00:01:08.720 one of or previously America's most beloved brands
00:01:12.540 and has been for 50 plus years.
00:01:17.540 Disney was magical.
00:01:19.000 Disney was amazing.
00:01:20.360 Disney took childhood dreams
00:01:22.700 and made them come to life.
00:01:25.220 And yet somewhere along the way,
00:01:26.860 I would argue it's probably with Frozen,
00:01:29.180 that Disney started becoming more and more woke.
00:01:34.460 And as they expanded,
00:01:36.440 as they gobbled up properties from Marvel to Star Wars,
00:01:40.600 something went wrong.
00:01:42.800 And the magic shifted to darkness.
00:01:45.880 Well, to help me break down all of this,
00:01:48.140 we've got from Turning Point USA,
00:01:50.060 Morgan McMichael,
00:01:51.340 who you guys may not know,
00:01:52.560 not only is she an incredible commentator and pundit and analyst,
00:01:57.720 but she's also Jack-Jack's babysitter when we were in Israel.
00:02:04.480 Morgan, how are you?
00:02:05.360 Oh, good.
00:02:05.960 How are you, Jack?
00:02:07.420 I am fantastic.
00:02:08.540 I have to thank you again for that.
00:02:10.500 Jack-Jack still talks about you to this day, by the way.
00:02:13.180 I love Jack-Jack.
00:02:14.700 Everyone knows he's, you know, when I want a son,
00:02:17.300 I want my son to be just like Jack-Jack.
00:02:18.920 He's the sweetest.
00:02:19.480 We'll have to get you guys on FaceTime or something.
00:02:21.880 Or the next time we're out there in Phoenix.
00:02:23.640 But I wanted to get you on to ask about Disney because,
00:02:26.960 and we all know that Disney has kind of gone wrong right now.
00:02:30.360 And we'll talk about that in a minute.
00:02:31.340 But I just remember the first time I went to Disney World,
00:02:35.560 I was two years old.
00:02:36.980 And it's actually, we flew down from Philadelphia.
00:02:40.520 And it was, it is one of my earliest memories of being on that plane with my
00:02:45.040 parents, going on the Dumbo ride.
00:02:46.800 I remember it was kind of drizzly.
00:02:48.540 You know, they say, you know, they're like,
00:02:51.380 you can't have memories from when you were two.
00:02:52.660 I'm like, I remember the weather.
00:02:54.080 You know, like I can,
00:02:55.320 I could tell you what the weather was when we went on that Dumbo ride.
00:02:57.760 So these just amazing memories with my parents,
00:03:00.980 my mom was still pregnant with my brother actually at the time that we went.
00:03:04.640 And I kind of remember that.
00:03:06.360 She couldn't go on certain rides and stuff.
00:03:08.360 Yeah, no, Disney was the nostalgic everything.
00:03:11.180 I mean, I remember when I went,
00:03:12.260 I was eight years old and I went to Disneyland.
00:03:13.760 It was great.
00:03:15.280 That's where memories were made.
00:03:16.780 That's where children's imaginations flourished.
00:03:18.740 I remember I wanted to be a Disney princess.
00:03:20.160 I wanted to be Belle.
00:03:21.760 Belle was my Disney princess.
00:03:23.300 Like she was me and I loved her.
00:03:25.540 And then now,
00:03:26.520 like it's just not the same experience with kids going to Disney World anymore.
00:03:29.440 I mean, watching the intro video,
00:03:31.720 I loved Peter Pan going to Neverland,
00:03:34.100 even the 101 Dalmatians.
00:03:35.800 They're just not making the Disney books or even the movies the same.
00:03:39.460 And it just makes me really sad because I grew up on it from when I was two,
00:03:43.380 three years old,
00:03:44.040 all the way through high school,
00:03:45.220 watching Hannah Montana,
00:03:46.560 Wizards of Waverly Place.
00:03:47.780 That is where kids grew up on was Disney Channel and Disney.
00:03:52.260 Well, you know what else it is too?
00:03:53.740 A lot of those early Disney movies,
00:03:56.340 Walt Disney himself,
00:03:57.560 they weren't self-created stories.
00:04:00.560 Disney, of course,
00:04:01.060 is famous for this.
00:04:02.160 They're like,
00:04:02.560 you just mentioned Peter Pan and Beauty and the Beast and some of the others,
00:04:05.400 Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty,
00:04:06.960 Sword in the Stone.
00:04:08.060 And these were not stories that he created himself,
00:04:13.160 like Mickey and sort of the Mickey Mouse universes.
00:04:16.020 But these were classics.
00:04:18.520 These were classic stories,
00:04:20.340 some that go back hundreds of years,
00:04:22.460 that he was adapting for a young audience in the modern age.
00:04:27.660 Snow White, of course.
00:04:29.140 And so now,
00:04:29.820 obviously,
00:04:30.180 some of the old versions of them,
00:04:31.760 he had to kind of,
00:04:32.740 you know,
00:04:33.020 he had to kind of bring them into,
00:04:35.320 make it a little more palatable.
00:04:36.720 You know,
00:04:37.320 it's not quite as dark as some of the original Grimm fairy tales are.
00:04:40.320 But,
00:04:41.140 you know,
00:04:41.560 that they still have that classic gender roles,
00:04:45.260 those classic roles of like,
00:04:46.780 the man and the woman,
00:04:48.340 the prince and the princess,
00:04:50.620 you know.
00:04:51.080 It showed the fairy tale of reality.
00:04:54.100 It was definitely like,
00:04:55.040 that showed the nuclear family.
00:04:56.540 It showed children being raised in a positive light.
00:04:59.780 And it was,
00:05:00.240 Walt Disney,
00:05:00.720 I think,
00:05:01.000 was a creative genius.
00:05:02.380 And then now,
00:05:03.440 the corporation has to completely take that away from what it used to be.
00:05:07.320 Walt Disney,
00:05:08.000 even,
00:05:08.500 a lot of people don't know this fact,
00:05:09.980 but Walt Disney actually went to the U.S. House of Representatives and testified before the House Committee on Un-American Activities that communists were starting to take over Hollywood.
00:05:22.280 The man literally went,
00:05:24.040 you can pull up the testimony of this.
00:05:26.320 Like,
00:05:26.520 Walt Disney himself,
00:05:27.440 it's totally been buried.
00:05:28.940 This,
00:05:29.200 this information,
00:05:30.200 this,
00:05:30.460 this hearing,
00:05:31.060 it's on video too.
00:05:31.660 There's a recording of it.
00:05:33.720 You can go and watch.
00:05:35.080 Nobody ever talks about it.
00:05:36.380 That he actually went in and said,
00:05:38.020 he said it started with the,
00:05:40.080 the unions.
00:05:40.960 And they would come into the unions where the workers were.
00:05:43.940 And then they would start spreading these,
00:05:45.820 oh,
00:05:46.000 everything has to be equal and everyone has to have equality.
00:05:48.980 And he said,
00:05:49.700 I can see it starting to come up.
00:05:51.300 And he said,
00:05:51.720 this is the opposite of Americanism because Americanism is all about doing your best and then working your hardest and being rewarded for that.
00:05:59.420 And he tried to all through his life,
00:06:01.540 impart those kinds of ideals and those kinds of values.
00:06:05.360 Even when you look at a story like Pinocchio,
00:06:07.920 right?
00:06:08.580 We just showed Pinocchio.
00:06:09.980 It's a Jack Jack recently.
00:06:11.660 And again,
00:06:12.180 another story that comes from an old,
00:06:14.180 a much older Italian,
00:06:15.160 um,
00:06:16.580 uh,
00:06:16.860 tale,
00:06:17.280 but in Pinocchio,
00:06:18.720 it's when he gives into sin and vice and drinking and gambling and smoking and lying,
00:06:24.660 obviously that he becomes punished for doing those things.
00:06:28.300 And he eventually turns into a donkey.
00:06:29.680 But again,
00:06:30.300 it's still imparting those good values.
00:06:33.740 So it's not about this sort of like,
00:06:35.360 oh,
00:06:35.540 do whatever you want.
00:06:36.820 It's actually the opposite of that.
00:06:38.560 If you watch the original Disney movies,
00:06:41.080 that's there.
00:06:42.140 But I feel like after Walt Disney died,
00:06:45.400 that more and more people and the family started losing control.
00:06:48.700 And we'll talk about this more in the next segment,
00:06:50.160 but there's a huge,
00:06:52.900 I would say clash.
00:06:54.720 And it,
00:06:55.080 it,
00:06:55.300 it doesn't last forever because,
00:06:57.080 you know,
00:06:57.700 it was sort of like eighties,
00:06:58.680 nineties,
00:06:59.180 early two thousands.
00:06:59.980 There's this,
00:07:00.600 this other like resurgence of Disney.
00:07:02.720 And you got Aladdin,
00:07:03.580 the Lion King,
00:07:04.280 little,
00:07:04.580 a little mermaid.
00:07:05.560 You get the Disney channel and all the great shows on there for kids.
00:07:08.620 And,
00:07:09.060 and so there was that moment where it resurged after,
00:07:12.640 after Walt Disney left.
00:07:14.100 Oh,
00:07:14.540 absolutely.
00:07:15.100 I mean,
00:07:15.340 I remember growing up with all of the original Disney classics and I always joke,
00:07:18.760 like when I'm a parent,
00:07:19.560 I'm going to have to get the VHS tape versions of them all because they're going to try and make these new live
00:07:24.000 action movies are going to make these live action movies of all of the
00:07:27.680 these originals.
00:07:28.900 And they're going to try and recreate them into what is going to be just woke Disney.
00:07:33.760 And I genuinely think that Walt Disney would be incredibly disappointed with the decisions that the Disney corporation has created for these future generations.
00:07:41.620 And it really just makes me upset and sad to see how just the downfall of Disney has been.
00:07:47.200 I mean,
00:07:47.500 as a kid,
00:07:48.100 I grew up with the Lion King.
00:07:49.500 I remember I watched the brand new Lion King as soon as it came out.
00:07:52.420 And I thought that one was pretty good.
00:07:54.320 It was kind of hard to make animals or super woke.
00:07:56.820 But I mean,
00:07:57.280 even if you look at,
00:07:58.720 like you said,
00:07:59.400 Pinocchio,
00:08:00.200 Cinderella,
00:08:00.920 all these princess movies,
00:08:02.280 I just fear what they're going to create.
00:08:03.800 Especially,
00:08:04.300 I look at the little mermaid and even just the race baiting and the changing of that,
00:08:08.560 that they're doing in these films,
00:08:10.300 they're just completely changing the track of the original titles and what they were first promoting of those more traditional conservative ideals.
00:08:18.160 And so I'm a little scared to see the future.
00:08:20.960 Well,
00:08:21.060 you're exactly right.
00:08:21.680 And so the little mermaid that's based originally on Hans Christian Andersen,
00:08:24.900 who was the great Danish storyteller.
00:08:27.600 The Lion King,
00:08:28.480 of course,
00:08:28.860 famously is based on Shakespeare.
00:08:30.300 So the Lion King is based on Hamlet,
00:08:33.180 which is,
00:08:34.060 which Hamlet itself is based on this ancient Norse,
00:08:38.560 you know,
00:08:39.880 saga called Amleth.
00:08:42.320 And it's basically that same idea of the father was the king who was killed by the uncle,
00:08:47.960 who takes the mother as his queen.
00:08:50.680 And then the son flees and comes back to get revenge for,
00:08:55.260 you know,
00:08:55.520 for everything that happened to avenge his father.
00:08:56.760 That basic element goes from,
00:09:00.420 so the Lion King is actually like crypto Shakespeare.
00:09:02.460 So it's,
00:09:03.240 it's based on Hamlet,
00:09:04.380 which is based on Amleth.
00:09:05.820 That movie,
00:09:06.600 the Northmen that came out a few years ago is actually based on the original Nordic saga.
00:09:10.920 But I want to take our first break because when we come back,
00:09:15.100 I want to start talking before we get into the stuff they're doing now.
00:09:17.600 I want to talk about when did the changes start?
00:09:21.300 When did they begin?
00:09:22.440 Folks will be right back here.
00:09:23.440 Human events daily special with Morgan McMichael.
00:09:26.760 Still 40,
00:09:28.780 but I will throw in a visit to Okunsauna.
00:09:31.420 Woohoo!
00:09:32.260 Hi family!
00:09:33.600 Woohoo!
00:09:35.160 That's all I got.
00:09:36.860 And we're back.
00:09:37.420 Human events special.
00:09:38.260 We're talking about the decline of Disney,
00:09:40.280 the Wookification of Disney.
00:09:41.460 We're here with TPOSA's Morgan McMichael.
00:09:43.220 Morgan,
00:09:43.580 I have a spicy take on this.
00:09:45.260 Let's hear it.
00:09:45.760 So I don't know if you've heard this one before,
00:09:48.540 but it's kind of floats around there on the internets where I live.
00:09:54.040 And a lot of people say that Disney's first real woke moment was when they made Star Wars
00:10:02.320 completely female centered and they decided to sort of gender swap all the main roles so that,
00:10:08.740 you know,
00:10:09.540 the Princess Leia character was now the main character and that Luke,
00:10:14.200 who had been the main character of the originals,
00:10:16.140 like he's just kind of like off on the side and there's no like direct male lead.
00:10:20.720 The males are all like supporting characters and they say that's,
00:10:24.360 that's really the moment where Disney took a property and just made it and it just became worse
00:10:30.220 from worse and worse from there.
00:10:31.280 And of course,
00:10:32.020 you know,
00:10:32.300 Ray is the character's name and she's perfect.
00:10:34.300 And she has like all the force powers,
00:10:35.960 no training.
00:10:36.900 She can use a lightsaber the first time she picks it up and defeat the dark Lord.
00:10:40.220 You know,
00:10:41.000 it's crazy,
00:10:41.920 right?
00:10:42.060 It's crazy.
00:10:42.720 But I have a spicier take than that.
00:10:44.520 You ready for it?
00:10:45.000 I'm ready.
00:10:46.160 All right.
00:10:46.460 My take is that it's,
00:10:47.400 it's not Star Wars.
00:10:48.440 It's Frozen.
00:10:49.120 Frozen that Frozen was the moment when Disney first went woke.
00:10:53.280 I remember watching Frozen right when it came out.
00:10:56.080 And it's,
00:10:56.440 and that,
00:10:56.760 and that they did it in secret,
00:10:58.060 but they did it right before our eyes.
00:11:00.300 Okay.
00:11:01.300 I love Frozen.
00:11:03.400 Everybody does.
00:11:04.320 But let me,
00:11:04.800 let me show you,
00:11:05.580 let me deconstruct it here for a second.
00:11:08.140 Frozen is the first major Disney movie where the main characters or the,
00:11:13.700 the center of the action is not on a male female couple.
00:11:18.000 What is it?
00:11:19.420 The center of Frozen is female,
00:11:23.140 female,
00:11:24.060 two females.
00:11:25.580 And all the male characters in Frozen are like either a bad guy or a supporting character,
00:11:32.920 like some beta follower orbiter kind of dude,
00:11:36.700 and like a screw up and everybody fails them.
00:11:40.560 And it's about the two women together being the center of everything.
00:11:45.000 And men are kind of like,
00:11:46.440 they're either in the way or they're problematic or they're toxic.
00:11:50.300 Or I don't know if you know,
00:11:52.080 you know,
00:11:52.480 there's actually an LGBT character that was secretly put into Frozen,
00:11:55.720 right?
00:11:56.360 Who?
00:11:56.840 Which one?
00:11:58.340 So do you remember where they go?
00:11:59.600 I don't remember the guy's name,
00:12:00.380 but do you remember the scene?
00:12:02.360 And this is why we,
00:12:03.100 I,
00:12:03.280 I won't show a person to my kids that do you,
00:12:05.920 and in general,
00:12:06.820 I don't want to show a person to my kids that,
00:12:09.380 do you know,
00:12:09.780 there's a scene where they go to the sauna where they like,
00:12:12.840 they stop at that.
00:12:13.540 Like,
00:12:13.880 uh,
00:12:14.280 I guess it's like a trading post or whatever.
00:12:16.020 Yeah.
00:12:16.140 It's,
00:12:16.440 it's a guy that was like big,
00:12:17.600 some of blowout.
00:12:18.840 Yeah.
00:12:19.240 Yeah.
00:12:19.480 Yeah.
00:12:19.680 Yeah.
00:12:19.780 He's like selling them everything.
00:12:21.340 So there's a scene there,
00:12:23.200 a throwaway scene where he kind of looks over his shoulder and,
00:12:26.340 and says like greets his family.
00:12:28.260 He says,
00:12:28.480 hi family.
00:12:29.600 And he turns and it shows a sauna with,
00:12:34.380 and I guess it's based off like a finished sauna or something,
00:12:36.360 but there's another man in the sauna surrounded by four children.
00:12:42.020 There's no woman in there.
00:12:43.040 And he refers to that as his family.
00:12:45.560 See,
00:12:46.020 this is,
00:12:46.300 it's just subliminal messaging.
00:12:48.080 They're going to continue to do this.
00:12:49.440 That's,
00:12:49.740 this is crazy.
00:12:50.540 I mean,
00:12:50.780 yeah,
00:12:50.960 it started from frozen.
00:12:52.380 Had you ever heard that before?
00:12:53.500 No,
00:12:54.180 that's nuts.
00:12:55.120 I mean,
00:12:55.320 I watched that.
00:12:55.920 Didn't think anything of it.
00:12:56.740 I know the scene.
00:12:57.820 And I remember watching frozen one,
00:12:59.680 frozen two,
00:13:00.120 and they came out when I was even nannying kids.
00:13:02.560 I got kids love Elsa and Anna,
00:13:05.020 but this is,
00:13:05.960 this is next level of 2013.
00:13:08.520 I was in eighth grade.
00:13:09.940 I was 13 years old.
00:13:11.320 And I remember just everyone loved this.
00:13:13.420 And now it just proves.
00:13:14.840 Oh,
00:13:15.020 it was the biggest show in,
00:13:16.560 in the world by far.
00:13:18.060 And that song,
00:13:18.800 I mean,
00:13:20.040 I mean,
00:13:20.320 so,
00:13:20.420 do you want to build a snowman?
00:13:22.220 Yeah.
00:13:22.700 And then the other,
00:13:23.640 and let it go.
00:13:26.240 So Idina Menzel,
00:13:27.800 who plays Elsa,
00:13:29.500 she of course is famous for being Elphaba in Wicked.
00:13:33.080 She was one of the stars of Rent.
00:13:34.700 You know,
00:13:36.240 my man card is like hanging by a thread right now because I know these things.
00:13:39.620 And the point though is,
00:13:41.900 is that L is that Idina Menzel was actually asked at one point,
00:13:46.080 do you consider the story of Elsa to be a story about someone coming out of the closet?
00:13:52.860 She was actually asked about that.
00:13:54.960 And she said,
00:13:55.660 you could see it that way.
00:13:56.700 And that's what I was researching.
00:13:58.140 Frozen 2,
00:13:59.400 which came later.
00:14:00.820 They said that Elsa is like the queer queen and that they're really just pushing the queerness when it comes to Frozen 2 movie,
00:14:08.260 especially.
00:14:08.840 And I think Frozen 1 now knowing this was just the subliminal messaging of being able to push that setting the stage for a second movie to come out.
00:14:16.960 Yeah.
00:14:17.160 And so I don't know.
00:14:18.660 Right.
00:14:19.160 And so we were debating this before the show today is.
00:14:22.580 So the question is,
00:14:23.800 was this done?
00:14:24.980 Was this done as part of an agenda or was it done because they just actually believe these things?
00:14:30.780 And I guess,
00:14:31.680 I guess there's no way for us to know directly unless we get like some Disney writers and start interrogating them Guantanamo Bay style,
00:14:38.020 which,
00:14:38.320 you know,
00:14:38.520 I did say that,
00:14:39.540 um,
00:14:40.260 that it's,
00:14:42.260 but I,
00:14:42.540 I think that on some level,
00:14:43.820 they just actually believe this stuff.
00:14:45.260 Like they actually believe it's good for children to be exposed to what they would call non-traditional families or non-traditional relationships,
00:14:54.860 non-traditional storytelling.
00:14:56.500 And it's,
00:14:57.620 it started,
00:14:58.200 and that was a decade ago.
00:14:59.420 So that was it.
00:15:00.380 So we've gone in one decade from Frozen,
00:15:03.680 men are pushed to the side,
00:15:05.220 two females at the middle,
00:15:07.260 a,
00:15:07.620 you know,
00:15:07.820 the sauna with,
00:15:08.920 uh,
00:15:09.280 what's the doozy,
00:15:09.980 a sauna boy.
00:15:11.680 And then now we've got,
00:15:14.680 lives a tick tock out there and it's drag queen story hour and it's every teacher and it's everyone.
00:15:21.080 And they all believe that you should be showing this kind of stuff to children.
00:15:25.860 It's even more extreme.
00:15:27.080 And I think that those seeds had already been started to be planted,
00:15:31.640 um,
00:15:32.600 as early as 2013,
00:15:33.940 because you would never see something like this in like the nineties,
00:15:37.340 Disney movies or the classic Disney movies.
00:15:39.360 But then all of a sudden somewhere around that era and then like Disney princesses became the main thing.
00:15:45.480 And you know,
00:15:46.300 it's,
00:15:46.580 so it started with female focused everything,
00:15:48.400 but then it very quickly shifted into men are bad focused.
00:15:54.220 Yeah.
00:15:54.360 And I mean,
00:15:54.720 they're promoting what toxic masculinity and the,
00:15:56.760 what the feminist movement talk about now back then.
00:15:59.160 And I mean,
00:15:59.600 even a decade ago,
00:16:00.300 I think it was partially an agenda.
00:16:02.320 And then also they think it is good.
00:16:04.140 And they think this is positive and progressive thinking for children to be exposed to these things like same sex couples.
00:16:09.340 And you know,
00:16:10.320 the more woker ideologies of the left.
00:16:13.100 And so I think they think what they're doing is positive and changing children's minds for the better.
00:16:17.620 But in reality,
00:16:18.500 it's just indoctrinating them further because the thing is,
00:16:20.840 they're going to their schools and being taught this exact same stuff.
00:16:24.480 But now when they go home and watch TV,
00:16:26.380 they're just seeing it all over again,
00:16:27.820 further impressioning it into their brains of that this stuff is okay.
00:16:31.460 When in reality,
00:16:32.180 it's really not.
00:16:33.140 Yeah.
00:16:33.620 And meanwhile,
00:16:33.980 if you walk into any library,
00:16:36.040 any bookstore,
00:16:36.740 you're just smacked in the face with it all over.
00:16:40.060 And so my point of the every,
00:16:41.500 you know,
00:16:41.740 it's the,
00:16:42.080 it's the LGBTQ alphabet book for kids,
00:16:45.040 you know,
00:16:45.460 la la la,
00:16:46.540 you know,
00:16:47.340 Jimmy has two daddies,
00:16:48.940 la la la,
00:16:49.900 you know,
00:16:50.760 anti-racist baby,
00:16:51.920 my favorite one.
00:16:53.240 Yeah.
00:16:53.780 But my boy,
00:16:54.260 Kendi,
00:16:55.100 um,
00:16:56.080 who,
00:16:56.820 who I did break.
00:16:57.840 And it's,
00:16:59.600 it's,
00:16:59.900 it's,
00:17:00.140 I'm telling you,
00:17:00.780 it started a decade ago and I point to frozen so many times and I'm people crap on me for that,
00:17:05.360 whatever,
00:17:05.700 but I'm telling you,
00:17:07.200 these things started to change.
00:17:08.460 And that was a huge moment in this.
00:17:10.600 And these people look,
00:17:11.980 and this is something where,
00:17:13.380 you know,
00:17:13.800 and we're coming up on a break,
00:17:14.620 but I know,
00:17:15.060 I know,
00:17:15.280 I don't know if Charlie would look at it this way because he focuses more on sort of like the,
00:17:20.140 the philosophical academic shifts in indoctrination.
00:17:24.700 But I,
00:17:25.400 I don't think that that's what most people are responding to.
00:17:29.680 I think they're responding to TV and movies.
00:17:32.340 And I think that the role of this agenda being pushed forward in TV and movies,
00:17:37.120 particularly with Disney who,
00:17:39.840 you know,
00:17:40.020 fast forward during the pandemic,
00:17:41.200 they had ESPN,
00:17:42.780 they had Disney plus,
00:17:43.700 they had everything you're locked in.
00:17:44.860 You can't go anywhere.
00:17:45.520 So the course goes all over the place that they have been putting an afterburner on this stuff.
00:17:52.360 And okay,
00:17:53.000 maybe this stuff was born out of some,
00:17:56.280 you know,
00:17:56.840 psychopath professor a hundred years ago or something.
00:18:00.160 Got it.
00:18:00.640 Cool.
00:18:01.140 But at the end of the day,
00:18:02.480 I think that the more influential arm of this is through the mainstream media.
00:18:06.940 We're going to be coming back for our final segment here on the decline of Disney.
00:18:11.060 Morgan McMichael,
00:18:11.840 when we return.
00:18:15.000 Disney has announced their first ever Disneyland after dark pride night events on June 13th and June 15th,
00:18:21.380 2023 during pride month.
00:18:22.840 So Morgan,
00:18:23.820 we,
00:18:24.320 where we left off,
00:18:25.360 you know,
00:18:25.580 we talked about how Disney was becoming woke,
00:18:28.560 but now you turn it in and it's Disney's hosting pride night.
00:18:31.440 They're gender swapping everyone.
00:18:33.040 They're race swapping everyone.
00:18:34.600 Every time it goes to a live action,
00:18:36.640 it's,
00:18:37.040 it's,
00:18:37.340 there's something injected.
00:18:38.980 There's some form of indoctrination.
00:18:40.900 There's the,
00:18:41.680 they put the gay character in a buzz light year,
00:18:44.760 the buzz light year movie completely flopped versus the Mario movie,
00:18:48.420 which just was a recreation of the games on,
00:18:52.140 on film.
00:18:53.740 And it did a billion dollars.
00:18:54.840 And it's like the biggest video game movie of all time.
00:18:58.420 And so why is Disney still doing this?
00:19:01.840 By the way,
00:19:02.140 you look at their stocks.
00:19:03.360 This was the worst year for Disney since the death of Walt,
00:19:07.120 of,
00:19:07.380 of Walt Disney.
00:19:08.180 It's one of their worst years,
00:19:09.600 I think since the 1970s,
00:19:11.260 this past year,
00:19:12.040 the movies aren't making as much money.
00:19:13.460 Strange worlds were like everything.
00:19:15.480 It's super woke.
00:19:16.780 The parks,
00:19:17.780 they're going,
00:19:18.220 they're going nuts.
00:19:18.940 Part of it,
00:19:19.640 I think,
00:19:20.000 I guess you could say is because they expanded so fast.
00:19:22.140 And everyone they're hiring is so woke.
00:19:26.340 Is there a future for Disney?
00:19:27.780 Is there a path forward?
00:19:28.700 What do you think?
00:19:29.700 I think there possibly is a future,
00:19:31.460 but they're definitely going to have to have some major shifts.
00:19:33.760 I know that in the first quarter of the fiscal year,
00:19:35.940 2023,
00:19:36.360 they lost a billion dollars.
00:19:38.660 And to try and recoup that they're firing 7,000 employees,
00:19:42.420 which was hopefully by 2024 going to make them revenue.
00:19:45.180 But I think light year was a showing enough.
00:19:46.900 I loved Buzz Lightyear.
00:19:47.940 I loved Woody.
00:19:49.080 Toy Story was my favorite movies growing up.
00:19:51.420 And then we see it just completely go woke with the gay scene.
00:19:54.880 And it's like,
00:19:55.240 what was the point of putting that in other than ideologically changing the minds of children?
00:19:59.860 And I truly think that indoctrination isn't just at schools,
00:20:02.720 but it's happening in the mainstream media.
00:20:04.560 Because how else are you supposed to get to the kids when they're all consuming media 24-7?
00:20:10.240 You stick a kid in front of an iPad,
00:20:11.880 you put them on Disney Plus,
00:20:13.260 and what are you going to find?
00:20:14.680 I know what shocks me the most is recently,
00:20:16.800 I don't know if you saw this,
00:20:17.620 The Proud Family has a reboot cartoon on Disney
00:20:20.940 where there's an entire scene of the kids in The Proud Family,
00:20:24.440 which focuses on like a black family being raised in America,
00:20:27.120 with police and riot gear,
00:20:30.360 showing BLM fists,
00:20:31.620 showing all of this stuff for children.
00:20:34.340 And this show is geared towards under eight years old.
00:20:36.400 It's crazy.
00:20:37.780 Well,
00:20:37.900 so it's normalizing the idea of rebellion against the system,
00:20:41.500 normalizing the idea of destabilizing.
00:20:43.640 Because when it comes down to it,
00:20:45.800 any revolutionary movement requires the destabilization of families,
00:20:50.340 the destabilization of children,
00:20:52.060 because if you target the children,
00:20:54.160 then you don't even need the adults
00:20:55.300 because you just wait a couple years,
00:20:57.160 wait a decade or so,
00:20:58.280 and suddenly those kids,
00:20:59.740 the ones who grew up watching Frozen,
00:21:01.440 the ones who grew up watching all these things,
00:21:02.920 are starting to go out into the workplace,
00:21:04.660 and then eventually they get into positions of power.
00:21:06.760 And so it goes on and on and on.
00:21:08.640 And we have to realize that the 60s generation,
00:21:12.100 the revolutionary generation of the 1960s,
00:21:14.460 is the one in power now.
00:21:16.800 And the longer that stays,
00:21:19.060 the longer this type of stuff will go on.
00:21:22.140 So I would say,
00:21:23.540 and I would certainly say this to you
00:21:24.980 and to everyone out there,
00:21:27.680 I know people were crapping on me
00:21:29.080 because Tanya wanted to take the kids to Disney
00:21:32.960 before their recent thing about the Florida bill.
00:21:37.560 And they were saying,
00:21:38.080 oh, look at the Posobiec took his kids.
00:21:40.120 I was like, yeah,
00:21:40.700 but that was before we called for the boycott.
00:21:43.740 And at this point, I'm just saying,
00:21:44.900 you know what?
00:21:46.180 Stay away, groomer.
00:21:47.500 Groomers stay away.
00:21:48.780 Cancel the groomers.
00:21:49.720 And I think if you are still spending money
00:21:52.800 at one of those parks,
00:21:53.720 if you're still spending money on Disney+,
00:21:55.940 you should really look to vote with your dollars
00:21:59.100 and understand that these things will not change
00:22:02.420 until we actually do something using economic warfare.
00:22:05.960 That's why I've been encouraging people
00:22:07.260 to go see the Mario movie,
00:22:08.900 go support Nintendo.
00:22:09.900 You know what?
00:22:10.160 The Japanese aren't letting this happen.
00:22:12.420 They said, no.
00:22:13.460 I want none of that stuff.
00:22:14.360 The original guy who made it was still involved with Mario.
00:22:17.580 That's why it's like, it's, I'm,
00:22:19.920 Morgan, I'm going to say it.
00:22:21.740 I'm in my anti-Disney era.
00:22:24.140 I'm in my anti-Disney era.
00:22:25.300 I think I'm in my anti-Disney era.
00:22:27.860 I mean, it's interesting though too,
00:22:29.120 is like because of their subscribers have gone down,
00:22:31.660 millions of people have been unsubscribing
00:22:33.160 from Disney Plus lately because of this.
00:22:36.060 I don't, I think parents are starting
00:22:37.260 to get a little bit fed up with it.
00:22:38.780 And the boycott Disney is actually working
00:22:40.560 because I mean, Bob Iger has really got his hands
00:22:43.060 tied behind his back and doesn't know what to do.
00:22:46.040 Amazing.
00:22:46.500 Morgan, thank you so much for joining us today.
00:22:48.120 Thank you so much for your inter.
00:22:48.860 You really had your knowledge down on this,
00:22:50.960 but I didn't realize you had all those numbers.
00:22:52.500 I didn't look up all that stuff.
00:22:53.440 Thank goodness, because I don't have time
00:22:54.720 to do any of that crap.
00:22:56.040 Where can people go to follow you?
00:22:57.700 Where can people go to get more access to your work?
00:23:01.460 You can find me on all Turning Point USA channels,
00:23:04.040 but if you just look up my name and spell it right,
00:23:06.280 M-O-R-G-O-N-N, you can find me anywhere.
00:23:09.980 Morgan, Morgan.
00:23:11.900 Morgan, Morgan.
