"When You Hear 'Disney' Do You Think Of Magic And Dreams Coming True?" -Joe Getty

The title of this clip is a quote from our own Joe Getty when the guys were talking about drag queens working at Disney. What is Disney's reason for going in this direction? Do they actually think it's what their patrons want?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
So we got this text. If Disney allows a lot
of men in drag to be featured in their parts,
you will see a reaction that will make Bud and
Target feel lucky.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Meanwhile, over it to the Mouse Kingdom, Disney is blasted
for allowing mustachiote employee to wear dress. Goes the headline,
and sure enough, there's the picture of a dude with
a mustache wearing a dress and makeup, greeting all the
kids as they come into the enchanted Chamber of the
Fairy Godmother or something else.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
The enchanted Chamber of the Fairy Godmother. Oh what could
be on?

Speaker 2 (00:37):
What it says? Enchanted chamber right there over our door
where this gender bending fellow is something or other.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
And peak age for that sort of thing, based on
my experiences is pretty little. That's when it's really magical.
When you show up and your kids are like, you know,
five and seven or something, it's just, oh my god,
they lose there is I mean, they're so excited. I
remember when we went to Lego Land. But if there
had been a dude and you know what, if you're

(01:07):
a guy who you're trans and you're okay, you see
you believe you're a girl, and then you decide I
want to be a princess, dresses a princess at the
theme park, and your company lets you. You're only doing
the mustache to shove it in people's faces, aren't you.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
I think so? Yeah. Absolutely, Well, you're declaring that I
can do anything I want because I identify as something
or other.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
But I don't want to talk to my five year
old who's all excited about seeing Goofy and a prince
and a princess and stuff like that. Why the princess
has a mustache?

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Goofy is Goofy? All right? Mickey's weren't Minnie's dress?

Speaker 1 (01:44):
I guess the response is supposed to be, well, some
women have mustaches and penises, No, they don't.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
This from Jeff, remembering my days as a Disneyland employee
back in college, having the length of my hair checked,
was not allowed to go beyond the top of the collar,
not being allowed to have any tattoos, earrings, et cetera,
not being to stray from the company's on stage presentation appearance,
and rules. He mentions once, after a surfing accident, he
wore a bandage on his forehead, had three supervisors threatened
suspension for violating the appearance rules. Now you got this,

(02:12):
As I said before, when you hear Disney, do you
think magic and dreams coming true anymore? Or do you
think obnoxious woke activists? Boy? Whoever observed that is right?
If you start showing up to Disney and you got
a bunch of people in drag and you don't need
a bunch of Cinderella is a dude? I think one

(02:33):
would do it. Yeah, so Dave Rubin agrees with you.
What's particularly and particularly interesting about this is how intentional
it is. This is a dude with a mustache in
a dress, not a trans person. Think how many real
girls want that job at Disney and they gave it
to him for some reason? Right?

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Good point? Well so again, so this is the Disney
situation is similar to Target and bud Light, Like is
this Are they trying to keep the trans community from
attacking them? They're trying to inoculate themselves against that sort
of thing. Do they believe this stuff? I mean they
just think, you know what, it's the right thing for
society at this point, and I'm willing to risk our
company to do it. Or do they actually think that's

(03:11):
what their patrons want.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Part of it is that they have the theme parks,
in particular, have a huge cohort of young people who
are their employees who make the theme parks go, and
young people have been swept away by this radical gender
theory stuff that's being pumped into them in the schools,
and Disney's just afraid of their employees. I think that's

(03:35):
part of it. And to that point, we shared this
email very early in the show, but it's so powerful
and it's exactly echoing that story we told you about
the California mom whose daughter got swept up in this.
I identify as this. I identify as that at eleven years old,
all of her friend group was identifying as one thing

(03:55):
or another. It was a badge of honor. And she
pointed out that if you are, you know, just an
insecure kid, and all of us were, and all of
the kids are. Maybe you're not super popular or whatever,
you're insecure. If you come out as yeah, I'm gender fluid,
all of a sudden, you are worshiped as a hero.
You become a cause celeb. The teachers praise you, the

(04:18):
kids praise you, You're surrounded by caring and support. That's all
you have to do is go with the whole rainbow
radical gender theory thing in government schools. Then on the
heels of that story we get this. Alnonymous drove a
field trip for my thirteen year old son's class last week.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
Night.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Before the field trip, my son came to me and said,
you know, Sarah is gay, right, longtime classmate and friend
i've known. All the names are changed, obviously, I've known
Sarah for years. She's thirteen as well. Had no idea
she was gay, nor did I have reason to know that,
and told my son so, which you know, i'd kind
of glossed over when we first shared this, But now
I get his point. Why is anybody talking thing about that?

(05:00):
That's when I asked my son every night thirteen year olds,
That's why I asked my son, who's eleven, every single
day when he comes home.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
I got in an argument with SO and so about this.
Why are you guys talking about this every day?

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Don't you have something else to talk about? It's because
they're being taught it on a near daily basis in
government schools. So anyway, I had no reason to know
that and told my son, so, yeah, Sarah is gay.
So is Maria, Susie is Pan, and Jenny is by
Christie is non binary. This is all common knowledge at school.
Half the girls in his class identify as something. It

(05:31):
is so clearly a craze to be long among adolescent girls.
All of this stuff. It came up between the kids
more than once during chats on the field trip. Sarah
quote unquote declared loudly after seeing a sign for an
ice cream place with a man's face on it, mister Hamburger,
that's the only man I'll ever be attracted to. Well,
Like in the article you read on Tuesday, girls a

(05:53):
few years ago wore dresses, played with barbies are now
dressed in big, baggy clothes and combat boots with their
hair dyed. I remember a six month period in high
school in the nineties when some of the girls, cool girls,
decided they were lesbians, like it was a fad. This
is different though back then it was a lark. For
these girls. Today it is their identity. Everything revolves around
their sexual identity, though none of them are having sex

(06:14):
or even dating. By the way, none of the boys
identify as anything but straight.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
That's really interesting.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
You know, the very long version of the story we
shared yesterday. The mom gets into the fact that when
her daughter's depression and anxiety, partly caused by the whole
pandemic thing, broke her whole, claiming she was a boy
broke too, she was completely comfortable. Yeah, I'm a girl.
Of course I'm a girl. And we have the skyrocketing
suicide rates and depression anxiety in all among girls. And

(06:41):
it is so clear that radicals are trying to exploit
that to advance their their experimental theories. And it's just crazy.
And the fact that, oh, where's that story? The Colorado
mom who's suing because her daughter went to so called
art club and an outside person came in and did
an hour long presentation on the genderbread man and how

(07:04):
if you're uncomfortable with your body and we're talking about
thirteen year old girls. If you're uncomfortable with your body,
like your breasts, you're uncomfortable with that, or menstruation, you're
uncomfortable with that, you may well be transgender or at
least pangender or gender fluid. Do you think you're gender fluid?

(07:25):
This is in a government school for adolescence. It's uneffing believable.
And oh, you have that clip go ahead, Michael.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Her art teacher asked her to stay after school for
art club, and so we gave our consent for her
to attend art club that day. But when she got there,
she very quickly learned it was actually Gender and Sexuality
Awareness Club, and not just that, but the art teacher
had invited in an outside presenter, and this woman did
absolutely unthinkable things, telling the kids if they're not fully

(07:54):
comfortable in their biological sex, that means they're transgender. She
told them that queer is a term to use while
you're still figuring out your sexuality. She talked about polyamory.
She told them that these new labels that they had
just adopted made them more likely to commit suicide, and
talked expensively about suicide. She talked to them about puberty

(08:14):
blockers and cross sex hormones. She said that their parents
might not be safe, that they don't have to tell
parents where they are.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Can we all agree their parents might not be safe? Wow,
if it's at school, ball field, anywhere some adult tells
your child, you don't have to tell your parents about this.
We are out of bounds. Both feet clearly out of bounds.
Can we all agree on that?

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Man? If anybody at any organization ever tells my kids
not to trust dad, I would lose my ss because.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Dad may not be safe. He's not a safe space
here at the gender club, which remember we tell our
parents is an art club. Right, does everybody understand that? Okay?
Remember here at gender club, this is a safe space.
And congratulations Missy for coming out as pan gender. Would
you like us to call you missy because we can

(09:13):
call you a different name.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Not only you know? Is the ideology questionable? Well in
that apartment man, that whole making kids question their parents.
That's cruel. What a cruel thing to do to kids.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
That is straight out of Marxism. Wow, you've got to
separate the kids from their parents. You can respect your parents,
but you must respect the ideology more. Well, the party line,
be it Chairman Mao or Lenin or whomever.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
I was about to say, who was it that said
it last week? But it was the freaking Secretary of
Education where he talked about who knows their kids better
than teachers? Teachers know their kids better than the parents. Right,
It's an interesting statement from the Secretary of Education.
