Wicked Radio 3-21: Bad Day For Tesla Vandals, Adios Dep't Of Education, & Is Snow White Snow Woke? · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

0:06
Speaker 1: You know, with all about Tesla news, Elon news that's
0:08
Speaker 1: dominated this week, dominated all the headlines. No, we haven't
0:11
Speaker 1: heard yet. We haven't heard Elon talk directly to the
0:16
Speaker 1: vandals who are vandalizing Tesla dealership. It's more than vandalism
0:19
Speaker 1: now and we actually, in fact, we have a story
0:21
Speaker 1: now coming up about the crackdown and all this stuff
0:24
Speaker 1: happening against Tesla. We'll talk about that as well. But
0:26
Speaker 1: we've heard from Elon now and he's got some good
0:28
Speaker 1: framing of what he calls them, just calls them psychos.
0:31
Speaker 1: Big news story yesterday was the closing of the Department
0:33
Speaker 1: of Education or the beginning of the process of that.
0:35
Speaker 1: How's that going to go to affect things and teachers
0:37
Speaker 1: and kids? Well, it's going to the states. But if
0:41
Speaker 1: something's not working, would you have to blow it up?
0:44
Speaker 1: Talk about that as well. And some entertainment news. Today's
0:47
Speaker 1: the day actually last night, but this is the weekend.
0:52
Speaker 1: Snow White affectionately now known even in the Hollywood trade
0:55
Speaker 1: papers as snow Woke finally gets released by Disney. Did
1:01
Speaker 1: they learn this lesson? Did they learn anything? And Hollywood
1:04
Speaker 1: is begging for help now from a very unlikely person
1:08
Speaker 1: about something that's threatening their livelihood. We'll talk about that
1:10
Speaker 1: as well. All kinds of stuff to cover, but more
1:12
Speaker 1: importantly more important than anything else you got going on.
1:15
Speaker 1: It's Friday. Thank goodness for that, right extra finding Wicked
1:19
Speaker 1: Radio as well, the livestream version of Wicked Wisdom, thanks
1:22
Speaker 1: for being here, and the audio podcast wherever you like
1:24
Speaker 1: to get those will be available for you usually after
1:27
Speaker 1: not am Eastern time, where I had to put that
1:29
Speaker 1: out live on all your favorite platforms, so that will
1:31
Speaker 1: be there. But let's get to some of the news
1:33
Speaker 1: that was interesting with all that. Now he's done interviews
1:35
Speaker 1: with President Trump, he's kind of addressed the larger issue here.
1:39
Speaker 1: But it's kind of interesting to hear Elon And I
1:43
Speaker 1: think this was from a Tesla shareholders meeting. It was
1:46
Speaker 1: something involving Tesla whatever. It was an industry kind of thing,
1:49
Speaker 1: which is he's all over the place. You hear from
1:50
Speaker 1: Elon these days. He's a newsmaker, right, so you hear
1:53
Speaker 1: from Elon all the time these days. But I think
1:57
Speaker 1: this was directly to the company. But it's the first
2:00
Speaker 1: first time really as long as this has been going
2:02
Speaker 1: on for the past two weeks, really we've heard Elon
2:05
Speaker 1: speak directly to the vandals or his or his special
2:10
Speaker 1: word for them, the psychos attacking Tesla's pretty interesting and
2:14
Speaker 1: pretty good framing, I think.
2:15
Speaker 2: So you know it's good. If you read the news,
2:18
Speaker 2: it feels like, you know, imageddon. So I was like,
2:22
Speaker 2: I can't walk past the TV without seeing a Tesla
2:24
Speaker 2: on fire, Like what's going on? You know some people,
2:28
Speaker 2: it's like, listen, I understand if you don't want to
2:30
Speaker 2: buy our product, but you don't have to burn it down.
2:32
Speaker 2: That's about unreasonable, you know, like like this is psycho.
2:39
Speaker 1: Stop being psycho, stop framing, and then stop being psycho.
2:42
Speaker 1: Use psychos. Now, watch how this thing picks up throughout
2:45
Speaker 1: the media or really really really social media. I have
2:48
Speaker 1: the mainstream media this weekend psychos. You'll hear people describe
2:51
Speaker 1: the vandals domestic terrorists if you want to call them that.
2:54
Speaker 1: Start calling them psychos, because that's exactly what it is.
2:57
Speaker 1: Now we've got a framing. Now we've got a label
2:58
Speaker 1: for them, the psychos. Stop being psycho. It's really that simple. Now,
3:02
Speaker 1: this is why it's a really bad time to be
3:05
Speaker 1: one of those psychos in a couple of different ways.
3:07
Speaker 1: First of all, let's hear from Pam Bondy, the Attorney General.
3:10
Speaker 1: I know she took all kinds of heat. A lot
3:12
Speaker 1: of conservatives, a lot in the mega side of the
3:14
Speaker 1: world are very upset at her for not for not
3:19
Speaker 1: cracking down yet no arrests. She promised, you made a
3:23
Speaker 1: big deal about the Epstein files coming out. That didn't
3:25
Speaker 1: really happen. So she's under a lot of fire these days.
3:29
Speaker 1: But she made a very strong statement yesterday. Now listen
3:32
Speaker 1: to what she says here at the end of this
3:33
Speaker 1: in this interview about who's behind all of these what
3:38
Speaker 1: she considers domestic terrorism. Here's what she says. We have
3:40
Speaker 1: people we're locking up on that. We have someone in
3:42
Speaker 1: jail right now from one of the dealerships. They threw
3:45
Speaker 1: a Molotov cocktail through a dealership. They're looking it up
3:48
Speaker 1: to twenty years in prison. So if you're gonna touch
3:51
Speaker 1: a tesla, go to a dealership, do anything, you better
3:53
Speaker 1: watch out because we're coming after you.
3:55
Speaker 2: Damn well.
3:55
Speaker 1: If you're funding this, we're coming after you. We're gonna
3:58
Speaker 1: find out who you are. Okay, now, to me, that's
4:02
Speaker 1: the most important part of that entire statement. If you're
4:04
Speaker 1: funding this stuff, we're gonna find out who you are.
4:10
Speaker 1: That she just she just gave a little hint in
4:12
Speaker 1: what's actually happening here. And then you follow this up
4:14
Speaker 1: by some of the other statements by some very prominent people,
4:17
Speaker 1: and you understand what they're doing. They're going after the
4:19
Speaker 1: funding of this because this is organized and it's funded.
4:21
Speaker 1: Of course it is. It's just isn't coming. And I'm
4:23
Speaker 1: not talking about just the random you know, lunatic king
4:26
Speaker 1: of Tesla, you know who's caught on the sentry mode.
4:29
Speaker 1: By the way, they've already caught a bunch of those people.
4:32
Speaker 1: This is like the fire bombing like we had yesterday,
4:34
Speaker 1: the stories of firebombing and now it's happening in Canada
4:36
Speaker 1: as well of Tesla dealerships. That's organized, that's funded, and
4:40
Speaker 1: these people are protected somehow that may be drying up soon.
4:44
Speaker 1: Here's the first reason why it's a bad day to
4:46
Speaker 1: be one of those psychos. Trump posts on truth social yesterday,
4:50
Speaker 1: and of course it gets reposted on x all over
4:53
Speaker 1: the place and other social media platforms. People they get
4:56
Speaker 1: caught sabotage at Teslas will stand up very good jets
4:58
Speaker 1: at going to jail for up to twenty years or
5:01
Speaker 1: we put a timeline on it, then includes the funders,
5:04
Speaker 1: we're looking for you, and that was all in capitals.
5:07
Speaker 1: He's another one who mentioned the funders, right, and then
5:10
Speaker 1: follow this up. Dan Bongino, very good friend. If you
5:14
Speaker 1: know Dan Bongino, if you listen to his show for
5:15
Speaker 1: quite some time now, he's the deputy director of the FBI,
5:20
Speaker 1: reposted an article that's featuring him from Axios. It says
5:25
Speaker 1: FBI investigates attacks on Tesla dealerships cars amid Musk protests.
5:30
Speaker 1: If you know Dan Bongino at all, you know anything
5:34
Speaker 1: about him, he does everything very intentionally. He doesn't repost
5:38
Speaker 1: an article with his picture on the cover about going
5:41
Speaker 1: after the organizers of Tesla vandalism and domestic terrorism unless
5:46
Speaker 1: something's going to be done about it. I would bet
5:49
Speaker 1: this is just my this is just my reading of
5:52
Speaker 1: the tea leaves of my guests. I would bet it's
5:53
Speaker 1: Dan Bongino in charge of that operation. And if it's
5:57
Speaker 1: Dan Bongino in part in charge of that operation, they're
5:59
Speaker 1: gonna find out exactly who's behind this because you know
6:01
Speaker 1: it's organized and funded. All right, the biggest news story,
6:04
Speaker 1: and we'll get to some fun stuff in just a
6:05
Speaker 1: little bit, though, Well, this is this is going to
6:07
Speaker 1: cause if you thought that the hysteria and the overreaction
6:12
Speaker 1: and the misinformation that's been happening. Really, what for four
6:17
Speaker 1: or five weeks now since the inauguration hit an all
6:20
Speaker 1: time high way? Do you hear this weekend the Sunday
6:23
Speaker 1: talk shows, all over social media, all over the news broadcast,
6:26
Speaker 1: all the talking heads, the closing of the Department of Education.
6:29
Speaker 1: How Trub hates childrenub Trub hates teachers. Well, I don't
6:34
Speaker 1: know about that, but it's true. It did take the
6:37
Speaker 1: first step yesterday with a signing of an executive order,
6:41
Speaker 1: the beginning of the closing of the Department of Education,
6:44
Speaker 1: that giant monolith. That really, can you look at that
6:46
Speaker 1: thing and say it's done anything for teachers or kids?
6:49
Speaker 1: Can you really? I'm a product of public education. Now
6:51
Speaker 1: you may be saying, Larry Goh, they're just how they failed.
6:54
Speaker 1: Listen to this guy, But honestly, I got a great education.
6:57
Speaker 1: But that's not everybody. And that was a long time
6:59
Speaker 1: ago as well. It's only gotten worse. Here's the first
7:03
Speaker 1: misconception about the Department of Education. You would think with
7:06
Speaker 1: that name Department of Education. Who could be against that?
7:10
Speaker 1: You would think it's been there forever, right decades, one
7:12
Speaker 1: hundred year, two hundred years. Maybe maybe that was the
7:14
Speaker 1: first thing the founding fathers. No, No, it's only been
7:18
Speaker 1: around since nineteen seventy nine. And the proof is in
7:21
Speaker 1: the pudding, and it's all right there in black and white.
7:23
Speaker 1: Since they developed the Department of Education in nineteen seventy nine,
7:26
Speaker 1: we've gone from first in education in the world too.
7:29
Speaker 1: The highest we've peaked is twenty four. We've averaged twenty
7:33
Speaker 1: fourth in the world ranking in education. Unacceptable, horrifying, it's embarrassing,
7:42
Speaker 1: and nobody. We should never even if you don't have kids,
7:46
Speaker 1: even if you didn't go through public education, whoever you are,
7:49
Speaker 1: if you're in this American citizen, you should be embarrassed.
7:52
Speaker 1: You should never have the mindset where this is acceptable,
7:55
Speaker 1: because it's not.
7:57
Speaker 2: So.
7:58
Speaker 1: With this began the dis destruction, because that's always going
8:02
Speaker 1: to be described of the Department of Education. Just yesterday
8:04
Speaker 1: with Trump signing, I don't know, I don't know who
8:11
Speaker 1: it was who set up the photo ops so they
8:15
Speaker 1: you'll see the picture and I put it on X
8:17
Speaker 1: as well for the t's and describing what was going
8:20
Speaker 1: to be on the live stream to the Trump surrounded
8:24
Speaker 1: by the kids. Obviously it's a photo op, you know,
8:26
Speaker 1: but they had they had him in a little school
8:28
Speaker 1: desk in the beginning, you know, uh, kind of like
8:33
Speaker 1: a Billy Madison kind of thing where he's he's signing
8:36
Speaker 1: it there, but it still had the presidential seal in
8:37
Speaker 1: a little school desk. He looked like a giant kid.
8:40
Speaker 1: I don't know who put this together, but it was
8:41
Speaker 1: actually brilliant. It kind of humanized the entire thing. Now,
8:44
Speaker 1: I know everybody on the left is making fun of
8:46
Speaker 1: this because, oh, he looks so stupid. He who put him,
8:49
Speaker 1: who did that to him? Somebody had in his ministration,
8:51
Speaker 1: is trying to make him look stupid. They don't get it.
8:54
Speaker 1: They just don't get the humor. This is why they
8:56
Speaker 1: say the left can't meme it humanized it. It's a
9:00
Speaker 1: it's a funny, little lighthearted moment in a very very
9:03
Speaker 1: serious issue. And then of course he's once he got
9:05
Speaker 1: out of his little school desk, how we fit in there?
9:08
Speaker 1: By the way. Once he got out of that, he
9:09
Speaker 1: did talk about and made the statement of the biggest
9:12
Speaker 1: concern you're gonna hear from teachers. How does this affect
9:15
Speaker 1: teachers as well as kids? Well talked about that, and
9:18
Speaker 1: as this thing goes to the States, this is how
9:20
Speaker 1: he feels. And at first probably I think he would
9:24
Speaker 1: admit that. How in the end, this is going to
9:26
Speaker 1: affect everybody.
9:27
Speaker 3: But we're going to take care of our teachers, and
9:30
Speaker 3: I believe, I believe the states will take actually better
9:33
Speaker 3: care of them. Then they are taken care of right now.
9:37
Speaker 3: They'll work all sorts of systems and even merit systems.
9:41
Speaker 3: Those great teachers are going to be maybe a little
9:43
Speaker 3: bit better rewarded, and maybe that's the way it should be,
9:46
Speaker 3: but the states are going to make that decision. But
9:48
Speaker 3: we're going to love and cherish our teachers along with
9:51
Speaker 3: our children, and they're gonna work with the parents, and
9:54
Speaker 3: they're gonna work with everybody else. And it's gonna be
9:56
Speaker 3: an amazing thing to watch, and it's really going to
9:58
Speaker 3: be something special.
10:00
Speaker 1: Concerns, I think all of those concerns are valid. This
10:03
Speaker 1: is a massive, massive thing. It's not complete yet, but
10:05
Speaker 1: it's the beginning of reorganizing public education in the country.
10:11
Speaker 1: You know, you got to have the mindset, like I said,
10:12
Speaker 1: before where you can't it's unacceptable the way we do
10:15
Speaker 1: it now, we can't. We absolutely, one hund percent can't
10:17
Speaker 1: allow that. But the questions are valid. I think the
10:20
Speaker 1: questions about kids. You know, one of the questions was, well,
10:23
Speaker 1: what do you do with school Do the states have
10:24
Speaker 1: funding for school lunches? Well, that part of it's taken
10:27
Speaker 1: care of by Health and Human Services. That's okay, that's
10:29
Speaker 1: not going to be affected, right, what about evaluations and testing?
10:33
Speaker 1: And yeah, absolutely these are all valid questions. And I
10:36
Speaker 1: will tell you I think my guess is going to
10:38
Speaker 1: be a real bumpy road for a little bit. But
10:41
Speaker 1: to put the power back in the states to control
10:43
Speaker 1: this is going to have to be the first step.
10:46
Speaker 1: We know what happened when we centralized it. It failed.
10:50
Speaker 1: It's awful. There are poor kids in poor, failing schools
10:53
Speaker 1: that can't escape because teachers' unions have worked very hard
10:56
Speaker 1: to keep them there, this giant monolith organization. And by
11:00
Speaker 1: the way, maybe that's the most important thing to come
11:02
Speaker 1: from this, as you take the power away from these
11:04
Speaker 1: teachers' unions which have way too much power, who haven't
11:08
Speaker 1: done anything for kids, and they keep on saying this
11:10
Speaker 1: thing and there's Randy Wingarten, the head of a teacher's union,
11:14
Speaker 1: which is a massive, bloated, bureaucratic organization. Keep your hands
11:18
Speaker 1: off our kids, protect our kids. They're not your kids,
11:21
Speaker 1: that's the problem. They're not yours. You've used them as
11:23
Speaker 1: ponds for power that can't exist anymore. Maybe the first
11:27
Speaker 1: maybe the first result of this, the first effect of
11:30
Speaker 1: this is going to be taking power away from them,
11:32
Speaker 1: as it should be. I think it's going to be
11:34
Speaker 1: a bumpy road, to be honest with you, but it's
11:35
Speaker 1: a road that we have to undertake because what we're
11:38
Speaker 1: doing now these school children, as we compete in the world, unacceptable.
11:43
Speaker 1: Can't do it. Absolutely can't have this. And I think
11:45
Speaker 1: he agrees with that. So it's only been around since
11:48
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine. It's completely failed. What about the poor states? Well,
11:53
Speaker 1: what about them? Wouldn't you rather have local school district control,
11:57
Speaker 1: local state control over how education is? No? I want
12:01
Speaker 1: a department? Why? What justification is there for a department massive, monolithic,
12:06
Speaker 1: centralized department of education? Where is it? What are they done?
12:10
Speaker 1: The proof is there. They're going to spin it every
12:12
Speaker 1: which way till Sunday to try to tell you that
12:14
Speaker 1: it was better that way. I don't see it. I
12:17
Speaker 1: don't know how anybody can see it. We've heard my
12:19
Speaker 1: entire life. I can't remember a time in my life,
12:22
Speaker 1: even going back to when I was a school in
12:26
Speaker 1: first grade, where you heard that education in the country
12:29
Speaker 1: is doing well because it's not. Because it's absolutely positively
12:33
Speaker 1: not nineteen seventy nine. By the way, I was in
12:35
Speaker 1: third grade where I had three years of proof right
12:38
Speaker 1: there to see how it's doing. Some states, some districts
12:42
Speaker 1: do great, but the larger issue across the country, what
12:47
Speaker 1: a fail. Hey by the way, Oh, by the way,
12:50
Speaker 1: speaking of Trump, and this reminded me of this. It
12:52
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna do this. But you know how, I'm not
12:54
Speaker 1: just talking about America's worst mayor, Mayor Wu of Boston,
12:57
Speaker 1: Mayor Wuhan as she called Mayor Wu Wu, not just
13:02
Speaker 1: because they still have family there. I'm from the area.
13:04
Speaker 1: I pay attention to a lot of Massachusetts of Boston news.
13:07
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable what's happening there. And I think because of
13:10
Speaker 1: her own doing, you're gonna see Ice and Tom Holman's
13:13
Speaker 1: Department of Immigration swooping into that city. She had her
13:17
Speaker 1: state of the City address just the other day, which
13:20
Speaker 1: every mare in the country does, Right, we find out
13:22
Speaker 1: what's going on. She didn't double down. She tripled down
13:26
Speaker 1: in not working with ICE, not working with the Feds
13:30
Speaker 1: to get rid of the criminal element. In fact, she's
13:34
Speaker 1: directed her police officers in the city of Boston to
13:39
Speaker 1: disobey the orders of ICE and to protect these criminals.
13:42
Speaker 1: Listen to this. This is a statement after the State
13:44
Speaker 1: of the City address. This is unbelievable. Every person, every
13:49
Speaker 1: human being, has the legal right to come to the
13:51
Speaker 1: United States and seek asylum or shelter. Oh boy, that's
13:57
Speaker 1: not gonna go well there. I only bring it up
14:00
Speaker 1: for selfish reasons. Painted a lot of attention to that here,
14:03
Speaker 1: from my own concern here and my whole family that's
14:05
Speaker 1: in that area. I think that's going to be the
14:08
Speaker 1: model that the country looks at for. It's going to
14:12
Speaker 1: be this Tom Holman's Department of Immigration and you know,
14:16
Speaker 1: for ICE swooping in there versus a city. I think
14:19
Speaker 1: that's gonna be the that's going to be the showdown
14:21
Speaker 1: where it all happens, because you can't have that, and
14:23
Speaker 1: you can't have her tripling down in some cases, quadrupling
14:26
Speaker 1: down on welcoming all, which of course includes the criminal
14:31
Speaker 1: element who are protected in that city. That's insane, and
14:35
Speaker 1: most of the people and that even in that city,
14:37
Speaker 1: even far left liberal Boston are saying, we can't even
14:39
Speaker 1: we can't have that. So I'd keep an eye on
14:42
Speaker 1: that situation. All right, let's get out of all that.
14:43
Speaker 1: It's been too much, too much heavy news for a Friday.
14:46
Speaker 1: It's finally out. Snow White gets released to theaters across
14:52
Speaker 1: the country. You're ready for it, the much delayed, much
14:56
Speaker 1: beleaguered Disney live action remake of the the classic fairy Tale?
15:01
Speaker 1: First of all, did we need this? I don't think
15:03
Speaker 1: it's all the controversies as well. You need a scorecard
15:06
Speaker 1: to keep them all up. So I kind of wrote
15:08
Speaker 1: some down here. What has Remember this thing was supposed
15:11
Speaker 1: to be released a long time ago? Remember that, Well,
15:15
Speaker 1: let's talk about let's go back and let's remind ourselves
15:19
Speaker 1: all the controversies that have beleaguered this Disney what they
15:24
Speaker 1: hoped is a new classic, going way back to even
15:27
Speaker 1: the casting of Rachel Zegler. I forgot about this, and
15:30
Speaker 1: this was kind of ridiculous, And this is probably why
15:31
Speaker 1: I forgot about it because I don't agree with this,
15:33
Speaker 1: the decision to cast her. So the Disney fanatics are
15:37
Speaker 1: always very critical of who they put in their classic movies, right,
15:41
Speaker 1: especially her And I forgot about this because she is
15:44
Speaker 1: of Latina heritage, so there were a lot of people
15:46
Speaker 1: who were upset about that. I don't agree with that, whatever,
15:49
Speaker 1: but it existed. That was one of the first controversies
15:52
Speaker 1: that seems like child's play compared to what actually happened.
15:54
Speaker 1: After that, her comments in the original film started the
15:58
Speaker 1: whole thing, Mary Woke comments, which is why this thing
16:01
Speaker 1: is called by many snow woke saying the nineteen thirty
16:07
Speaker 1: seven snow Why classic was problematic and that the Prince
16:11
Speaker 1: was a stalker. That's what everybody said, Oh boy. And
16:17
Speaker 1: then she made more statements about it. She made more
16:20
Speaker 1: statements about men in the audience, so that would be
16:21
Speaker 1: like parents like me not paying for it. It's not
16:23
Speaker 1: specifically for you. We don't really need that. That added
16:26
Speaker 1: fuel to the fire. And then which is only continued
16:30
Speaker 1: now to right now in something we were talking about yesterday,
16:33
Speaker 1: the whole idea about making the movie in the first place,
16:35
Speaker 1: This is where it talks about the dwarfs right, the
16:37
Speaker 1: seven Dwarfs. It was in the title of the Disney classic.
16:40
Speaker 1: Did they learn their lesson to even do the movie?
16:44
Speaker 2: Now?
16:44
Speaker 1: For this one, I go to the actor of the actor,
16:47
Speaker 1: Peter Dinklich, who happens to be a little guy himself.
16:49
Speaker 1: I remember him from Game of Thrones. He's been in
16:51
Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff. He was the first one that
16:54
Speaker 1: pointed this out. He said, first of all, in his opinion,
16:56
Speaker 1: it's problematic to make it in the first place. Shouldn't
16:58
Speaker 1: be making this movie with the stereotype blah blah blah whatever.
17:02
Speaker 1: That caused another controversy. So now we're up to like
17:04
Speaker 1: four controversies in the life of this thing so far.
17:07
Speaker 1: So you shouldn't make it in the first place. If
17:09
Speaker 1: you're gonna do it, you know, fix up the image
17:12
Speaker 1: whatever it is. Disney comes back. This is one of
17:14
Speaker 1: the first remakes of the movie where it caused more
17:16
Speaker 1: of a delay and they said, okay, we're gonna get
17:18
Speaker 1: rid of the dwarfs. He comes back and he says,
17:20
Speaker 1: oh my god, you made it worse. So now you're
17:22
Speaker 1: still gonna make it, which is problematic, and now you're
17:24
Speaker 1: cutting out the dwarfs and'll have they'll have a reason.
17:28
Speaker 1: You're taking more opportunity, ex give me opportunities away from
17:31
Speaker 1: dwarf factors. So now current day, right now as we speak,
17:36
Speaker 1: dwarf factors are protesting the release of the movie. Oh god, Okay,
17:40
Speaker 1: then we got into oh no, we're not done. Oh no,
17:42
Speaker 1: it's more the political views of the stars. Remember this one. Now,
17:46
Speaker 1: Gail Gadot is a Cadat, cadout whatever, she's the evil queen,
17:49
Speaker 1: she's Israeli. She has spoken out publicly before about releasing
17:53
Speaker 1: the hostages. Rachel Zegler, who apparently didn't learn her lesson
17:56
Speaker 1: after four controversies, decided to speak out on this on
17:59
Speaker 1: behal half of Palestinians. So you got the co stars
18:02
Speaker 1: who apparently don't talk to each other. Now she won't
18:05
Speaker 1: talk and they won't appear at premieres together. Disney has
18:08
Speaker 1: had to separate them. These are the two stars which
18:11
Speaker 1: leads to this. Now, the controversies have not only led
18:15
Speaker 1: them to scale it back and it got delayed and
18:17
Speaker 1: over budget and all this other stuff. They scaled back
18:21
Speaker 1: the premieres of this thing, and they made it industry only.
18:24
Speaker 1: This is why this week you said, wow, that snow
18:26
Speaker 1: White movie coming out. Now, I didn't see much about it.
18:28
Speaker 1: That's for a reason, because Disney scaled down the press
18:32
Speaker 1: release of this thing and red carpet premieres of it,
18:34
Speaker 1: because I think they know it's going to be a disaster.
18:37
Speaker 1: Now here's the big question. This is why I'm fascinated
18:39
Speaker 1: by it. Not that I'm interested in going to see
18:41
Speaker 1: snow White. I don't care about that because I'm definitely
18:44
Speaker 1: not gonna spend any money on it. I want to
18:46
Speaker 1: know if this is the turning point for Hollywood, especially Disney.
18:50
Speaker 1: Have they learned because remember when they started making this movie,
18:53
Speaker 1: when production went underway, it was when all the woke
18:57
Speaker 1: stuff was at its height, right, so they felt kind
18:59
Speaker 1: of protect didn't coming out with this? Well that turned,
19:02
Speaker 1: didn't it? Everybody realized what DEI was, what the woke
19:06
Speaker 1: stuff was, the controversies, everything. Everybody's aware of it, and
19:09
Speaker 1: Disney has fallen on some hard times over some awful
19:13
Speaker 1: go WoT go broke decisions. Have they learned their lesson
19:16
Speaker 1: on this because by all indications, you would think this
19:19
Speaker 1: thing's gonna bomb, like bomb badly eventually down the road
19:23
Speaker 1: and streaming it'll make its money whatever, But have they
19:26
Speaker 1: learned their lesson? And are other studios looking at this
19:28
Speaker 1: or other producers looking at this in all forms of
19:31
Speaker 1: media to realize what horrible mistakes they made. I'd like
19:35
Speaker 1: to say yes, And I'd like to say that entertainment
19:37
Speaker 1: which kind of keeps us all distracted from the bad
19:40
Speaker 1: stuff in the world. I'd like to say that they
19:42
Speaker 1: learned their lesson. I don't think so. I don't think
19:45
Speaker 1: they will. But I mean, you got to think this
19:48
Speaker 1: thing's gonna bomb though, right man, I can't. We'll find out.
19:51
Speaker 1: We'll have some information on Monday when we're talking about
19:53
Speaker 1: this to see how badly it did. I think it's
19:55
Speaker 1: gonna be really bad. I do. I think so. We'll
19:57
Speaker 1: see the critical reviews, you know, if you listen to
19:59
Speaker 1: those haven't been good. But more importantly, culturally, pushback was real.
20:06
Speaker 1: I think they got I think they gotta feel the pain.
20:08
Speaker 1: Disney will. But will they learn a lesson? I don't know.
20:10
Speaker 1: It's up to them. Who the heck knows? All Right,
20:12
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bejerial. I got to get out of here, go
20:13
Speaker 1: enjoy a week, and have a wicked, awesome Friday going
20:16
Speaker 1: into the weekend. Remember they're taking any craft from anybody.
20:19
Speaker 1: And another takeaway is everything you hear about this ending
20:22
Speaker 1: of the Department of Education is going to be so
20:24
Speaker 1: much misinformation. I would kind of like tune a lot
20:28
Speaker 1: of that out and just think about it, especially if
20:30
Speaker 1: you have kids in public education. Think about what it
20:32
Speaker 1: means to them, think of what it means for the country.
20:34
Speaker 1: In the long form, It's gonna be a bumpy road
20:36
Speaker 1: at first, but what does it mean down the road?
20:40
Speaker 1: Can't keep going the way we were, that's for sure,
20:41
Speaker 1: all right. Thanks for finding the live stream and the
