But Disney just had to go wake political messing with transgender teaching of third grade children. Stupid move.
Disney has given a lot of joy to people over the years… i mean there’s nothing else like it in the world…he needs to cut it some slack… they usually get things right😅
Jesus Christ people. Shit's getting childish, pun intended. Even worse, two dumb gashes talking about it.
Too bad I won’t be visiting Florida or giving them any theist money as long as they have a Facist Governor.
Thank you Gov DeSantis 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸 for Protecting our Children from Iger’s Pedophile Minions. Can You Say You Are FIRED?
I hope the management at Disney gives their hundreds of millions of dollars to the Democratic party Obviously the republicans think Disney is just crap
Meanwhile, Floridians wait for a grown up to enter room. This channel shouldn't really be considered news but, it's more of a propaganda or opinion channel.
Disney went woke that's the problem and now they think they can do whatever to catch it before it becomes a runaway train Ron DE Santis is completely in the right
The only thing that could make Republicans attack a corp. Dumb cultural shit.
Now why don't she tell the truth instead of hanging on to your lies
Who the heck can afford to go to Disney without going into debt to go?
We don’t want a mall beside Disney. There’s a reason Walt selected the Orlando site. It was specifically to avoid repeating what happened in Anaheim.
Desantis is a dictator, his Republican government is backing him on many outrageous bills that is separating Florida from the U.S. He will never be President because he is too weak to handle a real crisis, without the majority backing him he is a loser.
It takes a real warrior to stand up against the forces of evil. Disney owns about everything half the world. Cable networks ,Media networks ,Marvel ,Local channels ABC,NBC etc… Local chains they are a power house. This have nothing to do with being president. This is a governor with guts,doing something the other cowardly lions couldn't. I'm praying for his health,because he going against one of "The Elite" .🙏🙏💯
The Governor is correct for his bill. Our children don’t need to be educated on anything about sex until they get to Health class in high school. Then much of that should be limited to how pregnancy happens and STD’s and prevention. Morals of the children are taught at home within the family unit and culture. Public schools are not in charge of raising our children. The library should be rated G, and maybe PG during the senior year. Ratings are given to parents on movies for children. The same should apply for books. Children need to be protected as they are innocent, and school is meant for reading, writing, math, sports, language, science, and preparation for college and career. Public school was never intended to teach morals, culture, sex, sex positions, sexual preferences, and much more.
Disney's speech hasn't been infringed, and even if it had its not a person.
3:11 HE HASN'T SAID ANYTHING ABOUT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT!
i swear every fucking news channel says something like "possible presidential candidate Ron Desantis" or "presidential hopeful Ron Desantis" but he literally said he didn't want to talk about it. Like holy shit people can we just listen to the man himself until he decides what's right for him?
Kick them out, call it Florida Land, give the money back to the people that Disney has been EXPLOITING for over 60 years
Hosts dither around and only say what we have already heard. Well either way, screw DeSantis.
Let’s see, visitors come for a few days and forget to bring toothpaste, deodorant, bathing suits and a comb?? And, that ‘don’t say gay’ yip-yap was simply woke, liberal media and democrats promulgating what they KNEW was a lie.
When Disney became Woke and started this gay crap, that’s why this is happening! I would not pay a nickel to go to Disney!!!!
They need to shut them down
Disney doesn’t do anything under pressure from their staff. They thought they were they were above state law and DiSantis set them straight.
War on woke is not a platform, it's a disease.
Nobody’s a winner in DeSantis’ hateful vendetta.
Being a parent in Fl it seems Disney and lbgtqai were the only ones who were against the Fl parental rights bill. Funny thing is by design LBGTQAI couples can never have children and these are the people Disney’s fighting for. Iger and Chapek said they were acting on behalf of their employees. Are all Disney’s employees lbgtqai?
If disney is so expensive, I mean tickets, hotel, food etc. I have a great solution, don't go there. There is so much better now than disney
Desantis, drive this woke over rated , over priced carnival out of Florida. They would be better suited in San francisco, NY or Portland.
Yeah, no, Ron wants to build a prison next to DisneyWorld, I'd rather go to DisneyLand in California where the governor is not a petty thin skinned nutjob.
She is ridiculous
My question…why in the world would Disney negotiate now with FL/DeSantis and give up any of their control that Disney has had for over 50 years while operating a world class tourist site with virtually no problems along that 50+ year path? DeSantis violated Disney’s free speech so all experts see no way DeSantis can win this lawsuit.
What kind of necklace is that. It’s awesome.
The irony is Disney purchased this land for the purpose of supporting their resort. They had future planned to build a community. For the state of Florida to come in, take the land and offer it to other developers for purpose of competition to Disney is about as communist of an idea you can come up with. Desantis is supposedly anti communist, proposing a state holiday to memorialize victims of communism, yet this is a communist idea of taking private land to give to other developers.
Disney removes LGBT content from the films they distribute in the Middle East. I find it ironic that they’re fighting this fight.
Disney and Mickey Mouse will mop the floor with desantis. trump is also kicking his ass in the polls.
Very interesting analysis,
Ron DeSantis 🐷 Acts Like He Was Attacked by Micky Mouse 🐭 When He Was a Child 🐖
DeSantis is a TRAITOR
Get DeSantis out of a job , leave Disney alone . This guy is power hungry 💩
Visitors will be the winners by not having to worry about their children being groomed by weirdos
GROOMINGBiden is on the world stage fighting Russia, and Desantis is caught up in a petty war with Mickey Mouse. Talk about unfit for office: Desantis is like an immature teenager – no way in hell should this clown lead the most powerful country in the world. Keep his ass in Florida with the rest of the crazies.
Why did Desantis sign the new district into law if he was going to have a huge problem with it? Didn't Destantis and his layers read and consider the new district proposal before Desantis signed it? Was the desolution of the new district even legal? Desantis shouldn't be governor of Florida much less president
I am sorry, this interview was really alful!
The delivery and speech was very clumsy in delivery, and struggled to clarify the points she was trying to make.
It was almost cringy to watch, and got to the point where I had to stop.
I hope this true
I hope Disney can win
So where is the analysis of the law and the history? Disney got special privileges for RCID in exchange for EPCOT as promised by Walt Disney. That never materialized so since Disney didn’t do what it says why should they not be dissolved by they I mean RCID. It is also RCID that had the rights NOT Disney.
I thank God every day I do not live in Florida with this neanderthal as governor. So vile, repulsive, ignorant, and hateful
