00:04:29.020 and the four and the four people that the gents just mentioned but yeah this is the first in a

00:04:33.780 series of debates that we're hosting across 2024 um the premise being that you know trump and biden

00:04:39.680 might not debate probably won't but we still believe uh in the virtue of civil debate we still

00:04:46.580 believe in an america where we solve our problems and get to the truth not with our fists but with

00:04:52.540 our words right so we're doing a series of debates on issues that really matter to americans starting

00:04:58.260 with immigration and then um and then tech capitalism and and foreign policy so we're really

00:05:03.460 really excited to come to texas so barry do you really do you really think we don't fight with

00:05:13.120 our fists i mean it seems as though unfortunately and as i'd like to remind everyone in the audience

00:05:21.640 i don't want to live like haitians do haiti not a good scenario um you don't you don't want you 1.00

00:05:30.320 don't want to live under barbecues rain well that too i was just thinking i like law and order you

00:05:36.760 know you like barbecue too but not that particular yeah yeah um i i'm i am really concerned about

00:05:44.680 what's coming this fall me too me too um i mean i i wish i had something there's not a smart clever

00:05:53.840 quip i have to say to that i'm really really concerned about the direction that this country is

00:05:58.440 headed um you know i live in a in one of the blue cities i imagine you guys talk about in this

00:06:04.520 program where you know the most basic expectations that you have as a tax-paying law-abiding citizen

00:06:13.100 are not fulfilled and i'm someone that has forgive the word guys but the privilege of being able to

00:06:19.920 you know move my family if god forbid we needed to where i could you know pay in my neighborhood it's

00:06:25.580 sort of south african like people pay like a private security service because the cops simply

00:06:29.900 don't show up if you call them and you know that is an unsustainable situation and you know it's it's

00:06:37.020 quite shocking to me you know that um the democrats you know who you know say what you want about trump

00:06:44.220 etc but you know for for those people who tend to vote democrat they're just looking for a party that

00:06:50.580 allows them to say what you see with your own eyes is true things are not safe in the way that they ought

00:06:59.680 to be and we're going to make them better i mean it's such a simple proposition and the fact that

00:07:04.420 that's not what's on offer is is really baffling uh to many of us so yeah i i find that interesting

00:07:11.460 they don't they don't seem to react to uh actual conditions and people yeah politics i mean it's

00:07:20.120 it's it's a little disturbing because it's kind of like what do you know that i don't know or are you

00:07:25.560 that blind and i don't i don't know maybe blind or arrogant is the answer yeah i mean i think that

00:07:34.380 there is just as as you both know such a an increasingly tiny bubble um that a lot of the

00:07:42.740 people in you know the political class and also in many of our sense making institutions inhabit and

00:07:48.720 that's a world in which you know you can go to a dinner party this is a real life example that my

00:07:53.020 wife experienced and you know the majority of people think it's quite normal to suggest that

00:07:58.000 they shouldn't have kids because of global warming now that is just like in a different

00:08:03.500 universe than what most americans are thinking about which is the price of their milk the price

00:08:11.100 of a roast chicken at the grocery store the price of their gas how much it costs to buy a home and

00:08:16.780 very very basic things like are we becoming more like haiti or less and a lot of americans

00:08:22.800 you know are running toward the right because of those basic issues so let me let me bring you back

00:08:29.440 to the border here for a second i cannot figure out the end game here because you have every you

00:08:38.200 have the pentagon you have the department of homeland security um you you have everybody saying all the

00:08:45.000 lights are flashing red we're at high alert well if god forbid something happens everyone will know

00:08:54.360 that it most likely happened because we have an open border how does the how do democrats survive

00:09:02.520 that i i mean they're not if at least if you're looking at the polling and you and you believe

00:09:10.180 that the polling is accurate an overwhelming number of americans are listing immigration and

00:09:16.640 specifically illegal immigration as the single most important issue in this election that's pretty

00:09:22.940 mind-blowing considering that there's a lot of other issues that really matter and this is one

00:09:28.120 that's a choice where it doesn't need to matter so you know it's from just a purely strategic

00:09:34.380 perspective politically it's very very baffling to me and i have to say especially i'll put myself on

00:09:41.280 the hook here you know i am someone who is just very pro-immigration as a general rule you know like

00:09:47.220 every american i'm a descendant of immigrants but in my case um more recently maybe than a lot of other

00:09:52.400 people um given the jewish expulsion out of europe under hitler but you know after october 7th and

00:09:59.880 watching you know what is possible what can come you know what violence and barbarism can come over

00:10:07.240 over what israelis believed was an incredibly secure border i am just looking at the issue in a very

00:10:14.120 different way now and i'm taking it personally a lot more seriously um and and you know i i can speak

00:10:20.740 not on behalf of the jewish community but definitely on part of a lot of people i know that they're

00:10:25.160 feeling similarly i think that most people thought you know most people coming over the border and

00:10:29.920 perhaps this is still true or seeking a better life they're like my grandparents could be true it's

00:10:34.900 just we don't know and the idea that you know we just don't know is is is bad enough can i ask you

00:10:42.220 being um you know an immigrant or immigrant family from uh yeah i should be clear i'm not an immigrant

00:10:51.060 it's just no no no i know you're you're family um yeah um i was born and raised in pittsburgh yeah

00:10:56.460 no i know that i'm sorry it didn't mean it i told you you weren't on a smart show um but you know you

00:11:03.720 probably you know you i know you grew up hearing the stories but probably never thought it would happen

00:11:09.000 here and now to have to see what you're seeing on the streets what does that feel like

00:11:16.360 really really disorienting and alienating um you know i grew up in such a proudly jewish and proudly

00:11:26.020 american family i grew up in a family in which you know when things were said to me i remember waiting

00:11:31.940 for the school bus with my second sister and a catholic school bus drove by and they called us kikes and

00:11:36.460 dirty jews i never heard those words before and the attitude on the part of my family was that's

00:11:41.320 so embarrassing for them they don't know that this is america we don't do that here and that was just 0.85

00:11:46.820 the ethos that i grew up under in other words the ethos that you know the founders of this country were

00:11:52.940 steeped in the hebrew bible that you know towns and cities across this country are called

00:11:58.980 shiloh and canaan and you know and all of the all of the city and town names of

00:12:05.740 of of the land of israel and you know europe wasn't like that this was a country not based in

00:12:12.120 ethnic nationalism and blood and soil we know how that ends up but based in a set of ideas

00:12:17.640 you know benjamin franklin wanted the image on this country's great seal to be moses crossing the red

00:12:23.140 sea abraham lincoln called americans the almost chosen people because he read his bible and not for

00:12:30.660 nothing his name was abraham you know he was named for the very first jew of all and so that was i

00:12:38.140 didn't even think of it as a worldview because that's how certain it was for me and certain it

00:12:43.980 was for you know at least the american sort of the golden moment that i grew up in and you know

00:12:50.720 beginning about five years ago with the neo-nazi massacre in the synagogue where i became a bat mitzvah

00:12:56.860 tree of life um that all started to shift and you know on the one hand it's the big picture i think is

00:13:06.220 a story of of ideas and the truth is is that you know america is based on them and when we are loyal

00:13:13.440 to those ideas when we fight to renew those ideas when we pass those ideas on to our children this is a

00:13:20.720 unbelievable place to live not just for the jewish community but for every single minority and 1.00

00:13:26.880 striver that has ever called america home and when we abandon those ideas and when we give in to a set

00:13:34.960 of ideas that pit us to get pit us against each other that suggest that america is not the last best

00:13:40.980 hope on earth but you know based on an ideology of white supremacy not not really worth fighting for

00:13:49.200 no better glenn than a country like haiti that's when things start getting dark and that's what

00:13:54.960 we're starting to see here you know i don't know if you saw there was a viral image of one of these

00:14:00.640 groups it feels silly to me to even say they're pro-palestinian no they're they're anti-israel

00:14:05.420 they're anti-jewish and they're anti-american yes they got up on stage at a and an easter mass 0.54

00:14:10.920 screaming their heads off what does that have to do with with the war in gaza like what does any of

00:14:17.500 this actually have to do yes with a tragic war that's happening 10 000 miles away in a place that

00:14:24.240 most of these people can't locate on a map they claim to be fighting for the lives of innocent

00:14:29.720 godsans who are tragically dying in this war but it's really about something much much darker i mean

00:14:35.900 that you have the entire middle east playing that game they all say they care about gaza then open 0.56

00:14:41.360 your borders the reason why they won't open their borders is they know that it is not about that

00:14:47.300 and every time they do open their borders there's some sort of revolution that starts i mean if

00:14:52.460 they if they truly cared but they don't they care about the destruction of israel not the people of

00:15:00.400 gaza it might be yeah and i yeah and i just you know i think one of the things that's alarming for

00:15:08.120 it's not just jews it's just anyone anyone who reads history understands that societies where

00:15:13.480 anti-semitism is allowed to thrive are societies and regimes and cultures that are dead a hundred

00:15:20.440 percent of the time like when anti-semitism is allowed to flourish it means your society that's

00:15:26.220 the five alarm fire and it's coming you know it's coming from the left and it's coming from the right

00:15:31.880 too and they are presenting themselves in really different ways but at the same time and it's

00:15:37.340 obviously something that i'm i'm thinking about and trying to fight with every fiber of my being

00:15:41.960 barry it is great to have you on uh we're both big fans we listen to you um we admire what you have

00:19:59.160 conspiracy theory they're they're not trying to do that to our kids that's not something that even

00:20:04.040 exists it's just a made-up fever dream of the right that's in the proclamation oh the department of

00:20:10.460 justice take action to push back against extreme and un-american state laws targeting transgender youth

00:20:17.180 and their families and the department of justice is partnering with law enforcement and community

00:20:22.080 groups to combat hate and violence you know what that what he's talking about is families that say no

00:20:28.280 you can't just take my child and give them a sex change that's his idea of justice today we send a 0.93

00:20:38.360 message to all transgender americans you are loved you are heard you're understood you belong

00:20:43.200 you're america my entire administration and i have your back okay now the problem is that it was on easter

00:20:53.140 and it's not like this whole transgender thing falling on easter this year was a surprise to jesus

00:21:04.640 you know what i mean he wasn't surprised by it i think we were maybe surprised by it we're like what

00:21:12.220 jesus was like yeah dummy didn't see this coming i mean seen this coming read about it in my book

00:21:20.140 uh but uh so he wasn't surprised and honestly um the people who are destroying universal truths

00:21:31.960 of gender they're not an enemy of ours they're not they are an enemy of god's laws 0.79

00:21:41.740 and it's for him to work out um because he's not surprised by any of this he's not um i i was

00:21:53.960 it was weird because i it must have been brought up to me over the weekend just in my family like

00:22:00.480 four different times dad did you hear what joe biden did yes i did let's celebrate easter

00:22:09.100 um i mean i feel sorry for people who are trapped in in their bodies you know they feel trapped in their

00:22:18.040 bodies um that is a horrible horrible way to go through life but even uh caitlin jenner

00:22:25.380 condemned the pronouncement she said the international transgender day of visibility created march the

00:22:34.680 2009 continue to be celebrated uh blah blah blah uh i am absolutely disgusted that joe biden has

00:22:43.600 declared the most holy of holy days a self-proclaimed uh devout catholic as transgender day of visibility

00:22:52.060 the only thing you should be declaring on this day is he is risen that's caitlin jenner

00:22:59.820 yeah and so and we i know you've included some of this context earlier in the show i guess they

00:23:06.720 apparently started transgender visibility day back in like the late 2000s yeah and easter change on this

00:23:12.640 day it's on march 31st every year so occasionally which has happened i think once before since this

00:23:19.560 thing started it falls on the same day as easter so it wasn't biden saying declaring this day i want you

00:23:26.460 know no i know but didn't he do this on like thanksgiving wasn't there a transgender day of 0.59

00:23:32.340 visibility 150 of them there are 28 related hall 28 international asexuality day oh that's

00:23:41.780 international day of pink day of silence harvey milk day pansexual and pan romantic awareness day

00:23:49.840 international drag day pan romantic day what is pan romantic sexual and pan so you're

00:23:56.360 wait who's a pan you're pan romantic you're romantic with any gender but not sexually attracted

00:24:03.660 like you're just going out to you're just hey this is like candlelight dinners with can i can i buy you

00:24:09.040 a drink tonight yeah nothing sexual nothing sexual at all we're just gonna have a nice romantic dinner

00:24:13.980 i like that there's also entire months devoted to lgbt causes including pride month in june

00:24:25.240 lgbt history month in october transgender awareness month in november you get a transgender

00:24:32.640 awareness month and a visibility day i mean george washington can't even have his own birthday

00:24:38.720 they're combining them for our hit for founders right and going the opposite way this is crazy you know

00:24:44.920 what let me tell you something if you're lgbtqia plus and jewish you never have to work a day in your life

00:24:56.280 every day is a holiday you combine jewish holidays with all of the lgbtq holidays i never see you at work

00:25:06.820 never that's true there's there'd be no days to work there would be none left there'd be nothing

00:25:13.100 there'd be nothing nothing left i think you have like three days maybe in february

00:25:17.860 but that's it

00:25:20.220 that's incredible and the funny thing is they at one point asked the quote-unquote founder of trans

00:25:28.940 visibility day why they i'll put they because i just don't know which way it went what do you mean

00:25:34.760 by that yeah hey what what why they put it in this time period it was because they needed to avoid all

00:25:40.480 the other trans days that was like the reason why it wasn't a target of easter in theory at least

00:25:45.880 that's what their claim was it was i believe that it was just like there's too many other days if we

00:25:50.680 make it a month later it's too close to trans awareness month or whatever else is on the schedule

00:25:55.520 i mean just dissecting the calendar i mean you could put the rainbow on the white house

00:26:01.580 but could you have made them a little more pastel-ish so you could also have those an easter

00:26:08.040 rainbow my favorite part was they uh the people who were pushing back against this because you know

00:26:14.280 i will say some on the right initially who the hell would know the history of trans visibility day

00:26:21.020 so initially they were like oh gosh i hate her people on the right were assuming with i think

00:26:28.340 good suspicion here rational suspicion that joe biden just created this day and put it on easter

00:26:34.060 which i would not put it past them at all to do that so when people are going by that some people

00:26:38.860 were pushing back and saying actually this isn't joe biden doing this and of course joe biden loves

00:26:43.600 easter as you know he's a devout catholic and in look by the way at the what at the white house site

00:26:49.140 the easter bunny's right on the site they put the easter bunny right on the site not the easter

00:26:56.120 bunny yeah and if they didn't like easter they wouldn't put the easter bunny on the site guys

00:27:00.420 that's not the easter we're talking about that's not the one we're concerned about it's not the

00:27:04.720 easter bunny kind of easter we're complaining about here right we know they probably only cares about

00:27:11.260 the easter bunny easter because all the good union jobs at hershey

00:27:15.180 yes the pork the fine folks at cadbury i need them to vote for me like we all remember they

00:27:22.740 do the egg roll right we all remember joe biden does the easter egg hunt thing at the white house

00:27:27.900 because the remember the easter bunny had to pull him away from reporters who were asking him

00:27:32.520 questions last time no no no that was two times two times ago last time it was the transgender and

00:27:39.540 gay people lifting up their tops right going topless so we've got we've got a great easter 1.00

00:27:45.400 tradition happening at the white house how could you possibly think he wouldn't honor easter after 0.97

00:27:50.800 all of that why would you be suspicious you know cardinal wilton gregory came out he was on face the

00:27:57.440 nation and they were like so he says he's a catholic and the cardinal's like yeah no

00:28:05.600 no cafeteria catholic which isn't really a catholic cafeteria catholic is like i'm gonna have

00:28:13.300 some of that and maybe a little bit of not that not that none of that and he picks and chooses i mean

00:28:21.140 i don't understand how these people can say they're catholic when you know they're for abortion 0.96

00:28:27.800 do you know that it was the catholics that have led the way on the pro-life thing from the beginning

00:28:33.760 the other religions didn't seem to care all that much for years it was just the catholics

00:28:40.700 you know the i mean the homosexual thing i guess it was cool with priests for a while but uh not for

00:28:48.900 anybody else how how how is that man a catholic

00:28:54.700 i think many catholics would argue he's not and i've made that argument publicly but see that doesn't

00:29:02.640 work because i ask every day the same question how is this man president and many would argue he's not

00:29:10.780 but still he keeps staying in there so i guess i don't know maybe we don't know how this works

00:29:15.840 this is the best of the glenbeck program

00:29:18.100 daniel cameron a former attorney general of the great state of kentucky now the ceo of 1792 exchange

00:29:28.900 daniel how are you i'm doing well glen how are you thank you so much for having me on oh you bet

00:29:35.700 you bet so talk to me about what's happening at disney well look uh as your listeners probably know

00:29:44.460 uh disney is in the a big proxy fight now as it relates to uh who will ultimately sit on their board

00:29:53.120 and this is all coming to a head because in my theory of the case is that because disney got into

00:30:00.580 some of these political agendas a couple of years ago in florida they've taken their eye off the ball

00:30:07.200 and so whether it's bob eiger or their current iteration of their board those folks have shown

00:30:13.740 and demonstrated that they're more concerned about a political agendas as opposed to producing a good product

00:30:21.260 and so there's another group uh that is namely led by nelson peltz that wants to shift the uh strategy

00:30:29.360 of that board a lot of this has to do with succession planning if you will and whether disney is going to

00:30:35.260 continue to have a focus on high quality product and customer service or are they going to focus on

00:30:42.400 these partisan political agendas um and at 1792 exchange i want your listeners to know that in the

00:30:50.680 coming days we're actually uh going to to share information on board members uh in a way that

00:30:57.480 people can understand why boards are making some of the decisions that they are making again that's

00:31:03.140 1792 exchange.com that information will be forthcoming again it's to help listeners of this program

00:31:11.720 know why are boards doing what they're doing why did disney engage against ron de santis governor

00:31:18.840 de santis in florida on a very responsible bill to protect our children why did disney come out

00:31:26.040 against that who's driving those decisions uh that's what 1792 exchange wants to explore that's

00:31:31.720 what we want your listeners to understand and i know again your listeners are are concerned about this

00:31:37.240 because they're concerned about the very fabric and foundation of this country who we are is a country

00:31:43.320 what are our businesses engaging in are they engaging in again creating those high quality products are

00:31:49.720 they in the business of business uh as uh uh our president calvin coolidge talked about or are they

00:31:57.320 about partisan political agendas so um you know when you look at the the direction of disney i can't believe

00:32:09.480 it went on this long because i've never seen a brand flush down the toilet faster than disney that was

00:32:19.320 that was a an untouchable brand of trust and i think that trust is gone can they save it

00:32:30.600 glenn i i i think your your at your your analysis is correct there has been certainly over the last few

00:32:37.640 years um a shift in mindset by disney to not focus on making disney the happiest place on the world and

00:32:48.520 and providing and producing good family content that can that folks can gather around on and and just

00:32:54.920 watch on a friday night as a family or go to a park and and just enjoy time at a park and uh you know

00:33:02.440 rise and rise and have a good time they have injected themselves into political debates uh and injected

00:33:10.520 themselves in a way uh that in many ways sort of skews against traditional values and when people and

00:33:20.600 when people go to a park uh you know they want to have a good time they don't want to be uh they don't

00:33:25.960 want to have an agenda pushed on them but unfortunately disney has gotten into that world and because of

00:33:33.240 it their shareholders have suffered i mean if you look over the last few years the s p 500 just as a

00:33:40.760 whole has been performing better than the share price of disney and i have to believe it's because

00:33:46.520 the credibility of their brand has been harmed by the fact that they've engaged in these political

00:33:53.560 ideological fights that they frankly should just stay out of you know glenn you know that michael

00:33:59.720 jordan in the 90s said something to this effect he said you know republicans buy shoes too what he was

00:34:06.440 trying to say is that that as as an entity as a business as an organization we shouldn't be engaged in

00:34:16.360 in getting into the middle of policy debates that the legislatures that the representatives of their

00:34:23.160 states need to make decisions on businesses shouldn't be in that and that's what 1792 exchange is

00:34:29.000 about we want to make sure that businesses get back to the business of business it's a it now seems like

00:34:35.160 a novel idea to say that but most americans most citizens recognize that our companies need to be

00:34:42.040 about particularly our public facing entities need to be about the return on investment to the shareholders

00:34:49.880 need to be about producing those high quality products and they've got to stay out of these

00:34:55.640 political agendas especially when those political agendas largely are being driven by the far left or

00:35:02.840 the human rights campaign uh that is in many ways underwriting these extremist agendas that are hurting the

00:35:11.080 fabric of our country um i have to tell you it's such a great job and service that 1792 exchange does

00:35:17.560 um in case you've never been there you should go they rate all of the companies i mean

00:35:24.200 how many companies are up now you know we've got over yeah we glenn we've got over 2500 companies

00:35:30.680 thank you for saying that yeah and our flagship project product is what we call the corporate bias

00:35:37.000 rating and so glenn as you've noted it basically tells uh your listener if you go to 1792 exchange.com you

00:35:44.840 can go on there find our corporate bias rating our cbr for short and it will rate a company if the

00:35:52.200 human rights campaign for instance tells you the the more woke you are the better what we say as a

00:35:58.280 counter is that no the more woke you are it's actually making it's hurting your company and it's hurting

00:36:05.720 ultimately the consumer because what the consumer cares about again is that high quality product they

00:36:11.880 they want a product uh that is good and so if you are in the product of making or if you're in the

00:36:17.880 business of making really good consumer products that's what you need to focus on and unfortunately

00:36:23.960 we've seen a lot of companies that have been um they've been taken over by an extremist element or a

00:36:31.640 far left element they've shifted their mindset and and what they are focused on such that the product is

00:36:39.160 suffering that the return on investment to the shareholder is suffering and that cannot continue

00:36:45.720 if we want to continue to be that shining city on a hill we want to continue to provide opportunity

00:36:53.960 and build the best equipment and and provide the best services and our businesses have to reorient

00:37:02.360 themselves and get focused again on remaining neutral and at the end of the day producing that high

00:37:11.480 quality product that every consumer again your listeners your families care about do you think

00:37:17.720 that people are the companies are starting to change and learn their lesson yet glenn i think so because

00:37:24.200 again whether you're talking about it um if if other publications are talking about uh other

00:37:31.240 uh commentators are talking about it this stuff is getting into um is getting into the national

00:37:41.480 conversation and dialogue and now people are starting to wake up to it and they realize that companies

00:37:48.120 aren't focused on their primary business they're focused on political agendas that benefit the far left

00:37:55.160 and as more people know about this the more it's going to have an effect on pushing back against these

00:38:02.040 companies and getting our companies back to neutral and back to what they should be about which is

00:38:07.400 again working hard to produce good products so daniel you were a uh you were an attorney general so

00:38:13.640 you might be able to wing i'm sorry this is a little unfair to just spring this on you but

00:38:17.880 do you know anything about uh all state and or was it all state or farmers i think it was all state

00:38:25.000 that just pulled out of california uh and said you know we're in i think they left maybe 60 000

00:38:32.920 customers there canceled everything else and just said too expensive not going to do it i i'm really

00:38:39.160 worried about the banks and the insurance companies because the insurance companies and the banks can make

00:38:46.440 business impossible to do if they don't if they don't allow you to open bank accounts or they

00:38:53.240 they uh deperson you uh and and the same thing with insurance companies if they decide to make guns

00:39:00.440 a giant risk then you're not going to be able to afford to have one you know that's something in 1792

00:39:07.800 exchange we we think a lot about and glenn you're you're very right to bring it up i mean this whole idea

00:39:13.160 of debanking meaning that a bank because you're in a uh what you know what could what they might

00:39:19.240 describe as an industry that they don't want to deal with whether it's it's guns or um you know other

00:39:26.680 areas that pertain to our constitutional rights if if you are a christian entity or christian organization

00:39:33.800 and uh they don't like that about you you know the threat of debanking is real and and we deal with

00:39:41.160 with with with folks that have that concern um it it is a major consideration and again it's one of

00:39:48.520 the reasons 1792 exchange exists it's because we want we want consumers we want christian business

00:39:55.560 owners we want folks in the gun industry to understand uh who are the best banks the best insurance

00:40:04.360 companies to do business with based on the idea that you will be canceled because you're in the gun

00:40:11.320 industry or because uh you're christian or religiously affiliated so this is a big issue it it it it touches

00:40:19.640 on our constitutional rights and so we have to stand up as the attorney general of kentucky i was

00:40:25.800 often uh in the position of defending constitutional rights it's one of the reasons i love being at 1792

00:40:33.480 exchange because we continue to do that work and and walk alongside allies to protect uh the religious

00:40:43.320 expression and freedom of expression of people that is enshrined within our first amendment and protect

00:40:49.960 the second amendment uh in our gun rights by making sure that we're holding accountable these insurance

00:40:56.920 companies and banks so that they do not cancel um the folks that are protected by the first amendment

00:41:03.800 and our second amendment daniel thank you so much this uh daniel cameron um on disney what's coming on
