The destructive intersection of politics and American business has reached new heights with the emergence of what can only be described as "Tesla terrorism." Across the country, vandals are targeting Tesla vehicles—keying them, damaging them, and in some cases even firebombing them—all because they disagree with Elon Musk's political viewpoints. The irony? These criminals are being caught red-handed by Tesla's own sophisticated camera systems, which activate whenever someone approaches the vehicle.

What's truly disturbing is how some progressives are actively cheering for Tesla's downfall, seemingly oblivious to the fact that Musk only owns about 13% of the company. When they celebrate Tesla's stock dropping, they're actually celebrating damage to countless Americans' retirement accounts and the potential loss of American manufacturing jobs. Meanwhile, Chinese EV manufacturer BYD is gaining market share globally, offering faster charging and competitive features. The contradiction is striking: those who typically champion American jobs are gleefully supporting a foreign competitor over an American company simply because they dislike the CEO's politics.

This same culture war mentality has infected Disney, where the Snow White remake starring Rachel Zegler has become a box office disaster. Zegler's pre-release comments about changing the fundamental story—declaring Snow White wouldn't be saved by the prince and wouldn't dream of true love—alienated the film's natural audience. Now Disney has paused all live-action remakes except for Lilo & Stitch as the film struggles to reach even a fraction of the $500 million needed to break even. The entertainment giant is learning a painful lesson about respecting beloved stories and understanding audience expectations before making dramatic changes to established characters and narratives.

Are we witnessing the death of common sense in corporate America? When political tribalism trumps business fundamentals, when vandalism becomes celebrated activism, and when classic stories are transformed beyond recognition to serve contemporary ideological purposes, perhaps it's time to step back and question whether we've lost our way. Listen in as we examine these troubling trends and what they mean for the future of American business and entertainment.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
What you just said is one of the most insanely
idiotic things I have ever heard.
At no point in your rambling,incoherent response were you
even close to anything thatcould be considered a rational
thought.
Everyone in this room is nowdumber for having listened to.

(00:22):
It is now dumber for havinglistened to it.
You don't know what that oughtto is, mr Trash.
I'd show you, but I'm too old,I'm too tired, I'm too fucking
blind.
If I were the man I was fiveyears ago, I'd make a

(00:46):
flamethrower to this place.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Do you understand the words that are coming out of?

Speaker 1 (00:51):
my mouth.
You want answers.
I think I'm entitled.
You want answers.
I want the truth.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
You can't handle the truth.
Oh, we've said it once, we'vesaid it twice, we've said it a
bazillion times the truth showis free.
This is Tim.
It's got a file.
It twice.
We've said it a bazillion timesthe truth.
Shall I set you free.
This is Tim.
It's got to find my mom.
The mad ramblings of a Gen Xer.
Oh, we were on sabbatical,which is a fancy word, for I
just didn't feel like working.
We need to talk about the deathof Disney and the death of a

(01:19):
Disney princess.
We also have to talk about theTesla terrorists and the fact
that the left is taking suchglee in some of the issues that
Tesla is now facing in themarketplace and it's almost like
they are calling for the deathof an American company and

(01:41):
that's kind of disturbing.
If you think about it, you seeall the vandals that are
striking Teslas, all the people,and I love the vandals with the
Teslas.
I really, I have to admit Ireally do love the vandals
because I believe they're either11 or 12 cameras sentry cameras
basically on the Tesla thatactivate when anyone comes near

(02:02):
the vehicle.
So all these people that aredoing these naughty things,
keying the cars, blowing them up, all that fun stuff.
They get recorded and smilestupid.
You're on Tesla camera.
And finally, we have anadministration that's not afraid
to go after domestic terrorists, because that's what they are

(02:23):
they are domestic terrorists.
When you go out and yousingularly focus on a vehicle
because of the fact that you donot like the political ideology
of the person who runs thecompany, that's a little crazy,

(02:45):
crazy, that that's a that's alittle.
That's a little, that's alittle nutty.
And then you call.
Then you call elon, he, he's anazi.
Oh, even though he's anamerican citizen, he's a nazi
because he's from south africa.
Now, everyone knows, if you'veever seen the movie lethal
weapon, everyone from southafrica, according to martin
riggs, is a Nazi and a whitesupremacist.

(03:06):
Go watch I mean classic 80smovie, go watch Lethal Weapon,
because you're going to find outthat they're all Nazis.
And you, literally and I love it, because the terrorists, the
domestic Tesla terrorists, arepainting swastikas on the cars
that they're terrorizing.

(03:27):
Do we do we need to think aboutthat?
Do we do we?
Do we think about that?
I mean seriously, you arepainting swastikas on cars and
then calling these peopleterrorists.
And I love it because peopleare going after Tesla.

(03:48):
They all want Tesla to drop.
We have so much good.
When that stock of Tesla justfalls, we are bankrupting Elon
Musk.
Elon only owns approximately13% of Tesla's equity, so the
dumbasses that are preying onTesla, trying to drive down the

(04:09):
prices of Tesla, are really justhurting their own 401k, because
the majority of them probablyhas Tesla stock.
So you think you're attacking.
You think you're attacking Muskwhen he only owns about 13% of
equity in Tesla and the otherpercentage is out in the
marketplace.

(04:29):
Tesla's worth about 161 billionas of February 2025, according
to Forbes.
I mean, and then there's thisnew.
There's not a new, but there'sanother.
There's another auto not auto,what do you call it?

(04:49):
Electric car vehicle maker outthere.
Oh, they're over in China and,for the first time ever, this
Chinese car maker has gotten thebest of Tesla.
They have sold more in Tesla'sthis just this last quarter.
They have more innovations thanTesla has.
They have charging stationsthat'll charge 250 miles in
range in just five minutes,outpacing Tesla's superchargers,

(05:11):
which takes 15 minutes for 200miles.
You fools.
This is the new champion of theleft, this EV company out of
China, and it's called.
What is it called?
I don't know if it's the name,but it's it's, it's called byd

(05:31):
and they just launched theirmost advanced driver assistance
assistance system, rivalingtesla's full service driving
feature at no extra cost in mostof their cars.
Now, of course, taking a Teslato China, that's a little
difficult, that's a little hardto do Because there's like 100%

(05:59):
tariffs on passenger cars.
So this Chinese EV maker, whichthey're saying is upending the
global market for clean energy,which has been around since 1995
, which is trading about halfthe share, half the price that
Tesla trades at, they are justracking it up.
Oh, they're the biggest.
They're the biggest one acrossEurope, south America, southeast

(06:21):
Asia and the Middle East.
They're expanding their domain.
Of course, all these othercountries have extreme tariffs
on all American imports, but wedon't want to talk about this.
But as the left, we want to behappy that Tesla is doing poorly

(06:43):
and this Chinese company is upand coming.
I always thought it was the factthat you wanted to have things
made in America.
I thought manufacturingproduction and everything you
wanted to have in America,because it helped increase
skilled laborers, it helped dojobs, it helped careers, it
helped the union.
But instead, when you have acompany that you want to

(07:05):
displace, your current top EVmanufacturer, which is, which is
an American company, which isAmerican jobs.
You're going against everyprinciple in your fiber, in your
being as an American, and theDemocrats are happy about it.
They're gleeful.
The left is gleeful about it.

(07:27):
This company's going to put usall out of business, tesla out
of business, and we're going tolose all these American jobs in
manufacturing, all theseAmerican jobs in manufacturing.
We're going to show them.
All you're doing is showing mehow stupid you literally are.
I'm the woman who fights everysingle day to lift working

(07:47):
people out from under the bootsof greed, traveling on our way
of life.
That, of course, is thewonderful AOC who is now

(08:09):
traveling around the countrywith Bernie Sanders rallying the
left oh, this is the braintrust AOC and Bernie Sanders the
left.
Oh, this is the brain trust AOCand Bernie Sanders.
Aoc hasn't had an originalthought in, I would say, her
entire life.
After what she did to herdistrict with that Amazon deal.
I still don't know why peoplekeep voting for her.

(08:32):
Evidently, the other part ofher district is basically now
the new red light hookerdistrict.
But this, this, this is theface of the democratic party.
This is the person that sayswell, elon Musk.
He's just not that smart.
He's the dumbest billionaire Iever met.
And then you have people likeJasmine Crockett.
I love it because you know, youcall you, you call the governor

(08:52):
of Texas hot wheels, and thepoor guy's been in a wheelchair
since he was 14.
And then you come out and say,well, I didn't, I didn't, I
didn't mean it that way, I wasjust saying that he cause, he
just motors around and doesthings.
It's like we call her a hoodrat.
Is that a bad thing to callJasmine Crockett?
Because we don't.
You know, we're not reallybeing disparaging to hood rats
and you know and and, but thatthat's.
That's just my way of sayingthat she comes from the hood.

(09:19):
No, but you can't say that abouther, because then it would be
racist.
It would be derogatory, itwould be true, but it would be
racist.
Anyone that voted for her inTexas, whatever that district is
, should automatically havetheir voter privileges revoked,
because all she does is attackpeople, all she does is use
profanity, all she does.

(09:40):
She never has a point, but it'swhen you say something that's
so outrageous and bombastic.
That's how she feels, likeshe's getting her point across,
because she's going after thatyoung Gen Z.
Well, here's the problem Gen Zis probably the most
conservative generation in thelast 60 years.
They want to have families,they want to have education,

(10:03):
they want to have nice things,they want to work, which is
crazy to me because of who theirparents are.
But I just laugh about itbecause this is the audience the
Democrats think they'rereaching out by using profanity,
using personal attacks,rallying for the death of Tesla

(10:24):
and having glee that a Chinesecompany is overtaking Tesla in
the marketplace, which is allit's doing is putting American
manufacturing jobs at risk, andthey're calling these people
that attack Tesla's heroes.
They're heroes.
Did you see that guy that fire,bomb those Tesla's?
Yeah, he's probably going to goaway for 20 years and he's
probably going to go away as adomestic terrorist.

(10:45):
And if you want to send him toprison in El Salvador, I
wouldn't have a problem withthat.
I wouldn't have a problem thatwhatsoever.
So poor Disney, no, poor disney.
That that that fiasco of amovie also known as snow white,
which was pushed back almost twoyears after the, after their,

(11:09):
their, their wonderful lead I'ma narcissist.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
Original cartoon came out in 1937 and very evidently
so.
There is a big focus on herlove story with a guy who
literally stalks her Weird,weird.
And then it became like I willelbow everyone out of the way to
play that part.
People will assume it's a lovestory just because, like we cast

(11:33):
a guy in the movie, andrewBurnap, all of Andrew's scenes
could get cut.
Who knows, it's Hollywood baby,I say.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
If I'm going to stand there 18 hours in a dress of an
iconic Disney princess.
I deserve to be paid for everyhour that it is streamed online.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
And we absolutely wrote a Snow White that is saved
by the prince.
She's not going to be saved bythe prince.
And she's not going to bedreaming about true love.
She's dreaming about becomingthe leader she knows she can be.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Now, of course, that is the venerable Rachel Zeigler
who basically single-handedlykilled the Disney franchise,
ripped it out from underneathany type of success that it may
have.
And those are just some of herstrange comments.
And this woman is pretty much aloon.
She is literally, I hate to sayit.
This woman is pretty much aloon, she is literally she.

(12:22):
I hate to say it, but she isliterally a loon.
And you know what disturbs meabout her.
I was thinking about it.
Does anyone watch her talk,watch her mouth?
She over enunciates everything.
I mean, if you want weird,weird, if you will just watch
the way she does it.
It's like this over enunciationand this over dramatic emphasis
on moving her mouth.
It's strange, it's a littlebizarre.

(12:44):
Not a little bizarre, it's alot bizarre.
But she's single handedlytanked, I personally believe.
Well, not single handedly.
Disney had a big part in it,because they also went woke once
again by not having PrinceCharming, making Prince Charming
a thief.
They do the cgi thing with thedwarves.
She is referred to as snowwhite not because she has the
fairest skin in the land, justlike the original story in the

(13:05):
original movie.
It's because of the fact thatshe was born in a snowstorm.
Oh, no wait, there's no rimshot for that.
That's actually.
That's actually the reason sheis.
She is one of these actresses,these modern actresses that are
coming up now that just don'tget it.
Sometimes you just need to keepyour mouth shut.

(13:25):
And if you literally take alook at her career, we're going
to get back to Disney for amoment.
Her other, her big claim to famewas Disney's, of course, the
West Side Story, that romantic,not Disney, but it was Steven
Spielberg.
I'm so proud that StevenSpielberg, 20th Century Fox,
west Side Story oh, the remakeof that musical, and this was

(13:48):
she basically went to an opencasting call and got this so
good for her, and I love it,because this is, of course, if
you know, the story of West SideStory.
It's about the sharks and thejets.
You know, it's that gang ofPuerto Rican youths, even though
she's Colombian.
She's not white either, butshe's Colombian.
Well, I guess she is white, Ithink her dad's Polish or
something, but you know, wedon't want to talk about racial

(14:12):
appropriation at all whatsoever.
Well, this was going to be thelinchpin to her career.
This was going to launch herinto the stratosphere and, of
course and she didn't sayanything.
This time she didn't speak outabout this movie.
And of course the movie neededan estimated $300 million, after

(14:32):
a budget of $100 million, tobreak even, cause you also have
to remember that you have uh,you have post-production costs.
You don't just have the cost ofthe film, you also have
distribution costs, you alsohave advertising.
So they were going to need atleast 300 million to target to
the break Even.
That film raked in a wonderful76 million.

(14:54):
So this actress, who got to ravereviews for her portrayal of
Rita Moreno's character,basically caused her first movie
to bomb, to bomb to the tune ofnot even making 33% back what
it was going to cost for thisfilm.
So of course, then she hitShazam, the Fury of the Gods,

(15:16):
which most say is the worstShazam movie out there.
Another movie that again was abox office failure budget about
125, box office of 134, notcounting the hundred plus
million on everything else.
So it didn't even make half itsmoney back.
So you would think after you'rewatching, and this was the Fox

(15:36):
Village, this was, I believe,put out by Fox, no, warner
Brothers, warner Brothers,because it's DC, that's right.
So again you would think, okay,well, you know what you know.
This is probably not theactress we want to hook her cart
to, because the last two bigblockbusters she has been a part
of they bombed.
But Blast Busters she has beena part of They've bombed.
But of course, the Hunger Games, the Ballad of the Songbirds

(15:57):
and the Snakes came out, whichmade some money.
So they turn around and say youknow what?
Disney and its Infinite Wisdom,we are going to portray her as
Snow White, even though there'snothing Snow White about her,
and all the issues that she hasin regards to promoting the film

(16:20):
, all the issues that she has,even with her fellow lead, all
the issues she had in referenceto basically alienating all
Trump supporters, all the issuesthat she had by supporting
Palestine, and then, of course,all of her weird fucking
interviews that led up to thisfilm, caused another Disney
disaster.
This movie is currently sittingat about 94 million and it

(16:44):
evidently needs to cross thehalf a billion mark 500 million
to break even.
They're saying that sales fromthe first week to the second
weekend is going to drop atleast 50% and of course, I love
it because Rachel Ziegler is outthere in the movie.

(17:04):
She's filmed herself in anempty theater laughing and
smiling as her name comes up onthe screen.
As she's watching Snow White,you're watching it in an empty
theater.
I think I would be moreconcerned with the fact that I'm
watching a movie that I'm inand there's no one in the
theater to watch it besidesmyself, and I was in the movie.
So, all these controversiesaside, disney has been basically

(17:27):
just trying to put this underwraps.
This whole film.
They canceled multipleinterviews with Rachel.
They didn't want to go outanywhere and talk to anyone
because they knew if they didthat it would just be another
fucking disaster and probablymake the movie tank even harder,
if that was even possible.
Some say well, some say it isn't.
But I mean, but literally.

(17:47):
And, of course, the fact thatwhen you take a beloved story,
even if it is what you like torefer to as dated I didn't know
Finding your True Love was datedI never thought about that.
I don't care if the film wasmade in the 30s.
The only thing about that filmin the 30s that freaked me out
was because of the fact that itwas just fucking weird, because
it was that animation that waskind of human but kind of

(18:09):
cartoony.
So you weren't sure if theywere going to come off the
screen and murder you.
But it's one of those thingsthat you watch it and you're
kind of just like, hmm, I don'tknow about this, but it is what
it is.

(18:30):
Disney hooked themselves up.
Disney has now paused all liveanimation remakes outside of
Lilo and Stitch, which is comingout in a few days.
They have paused all liveanimation remakes outside of
Lilo and Stitch, which is comingout in a few days.
They have paused all of thembecause of the fact that you are
literally this is this, this,this, these movies.
This box office is literallykilling Disney entertainment,

(18:52):
disney films.
It's, it is, it's destroyingthem.
And you would have figured outafter the Buzz Lightyear fiasco
that when you go so woke and goso over the edge a different way
, that you're just sitting there, you're not playing to your
audience.
What's wrong with a little girlwanting to be a princess and

(19:13):
not having to be a princess thatis going to save everyone?
What's wrong with that?
What's wrong with just being aprincess?
What's wrong with just puttingon the gown, putting on the
tiara and just going around?
And I also laugh because, likeyou said, you talk about things
that you can do and you can't doin reference to racism.
You know, jasmine Crockett canmake fun of people and call for

(19:34):
violence.
Again, elon Musk can call ahandicapped person hot wheels
and then lie about what shemeant.
But you casted a Latina actressin in in as the snow white
character we're not going to getinto.
They casted a black actressactress, excuse me as Ariel in
little mermaid Cause.
I don't really think thatmatters, but you literally can't

(19:56):
.
This woman is known for havingthe fairest skin of them all and
you decided I know what we'regoing to do.
We're going to open this up toall ethnic groups and we're
going to make Snow White Latin.
Oye como va.
Because of the fact that, and alot of reasons why Disney did

(20:17):
this is because of the fact thatSnow White is very popular in
Spanish speaking countries andthey were saying that Latinas do
not have that Latin princess.
Do they still have it?
Because her name is Snow White,and it's the same thing.
Just imagine if you took a, apredominant, what's perceived to
be a predominantly black,chinese, um, you know, hispanic

(20:41):
role, and cast it a white, awhite actress there.
There would be such an uproarthere.
There would literally be riotsin the democratic cities, they
would have to burn.
They would have to burn downtheir own neighborhoods because
we don't want them burned downin our neighborhoods anymore,
cause Pam Bond, he's going tocome and get you.
Burn down their ownneighborhoods because we don't
want them burned down in ourneighborhoods anymore, because,
pam Bond, he's going to come andget you.
But just imagine the backlashfor that.

(21:03):
Just another day, guys.
Just another day.
Oh, and as always, the truthshall always set you free.
This is Tim.
This is going to find a lot ofthe mad rallies of a Gen Xer and
I'm out of here.

(21:29):
You.
