People don't want Snow White as president. They want her to be this damsel in distress. Everyone love. The whole purpose of watching fairy tales is because they're love stories. And you can have Disney princesses who are strong, you know, And I think a lot of the more modern ones are like Moana and Elsa and Anna and some of the newer ones in, you know, Moana and Frozen. I think a lot of these princesses have some strength to them. They have a little oomph. They're not just the damsel in distress, but it seems like they are completely, you know, Rachel Zegler, she's saying, this is not the fairy tale that you know and love. We're turning it into something totally different. This is not going to be a man and woman falling in love, because that's blasphemous these days. Um, we don't see that anymore. We can't just have a woman be reliant on a strong man. That would be horrible. We don't want little girls to see that. No. So they're completely moving away from that and they're going in this woke direction. But not only that. Disney came under fire for none other than diversity, equity, and inclusion. It bit them in the butt. This is where DEI backfires. So in recent years, Hollywood has this obsession with casting actors and actresses who are the same race and. Or color as the character. And anytime a white actor or actress is cast to play anything but a white person, all hell breaks loose. They get, like, up on arms. The media is going crazy. This happened recently with Bradley Cooper. He got hate for playing Leonard Bernstein in Maestro because he's a white man and Leonard Bernstein is Jewish. So we're not allowed to. We're not allowed to do that. Apparently, white people can't play other races or ethnicities or. Or anything. But, yeah, this is a headline here. Let's discuss Bradley Cooper's racist fake nose for Maestro. He had to have a prosthetic nose put on so that Bradley Cooper actor can look like the person he's playing. This is not new. People actors have to use prosthetics to look like the person they are playing. Very often. It's not racist, okay? It's just the business. And if you're in the business of acting, sometimes you have to pretend like you're someone else. That's the entirety of. Of the industry. Some might call it acting, some might call it. This is how this whole thing works. So if you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen. And it's not just Bradley Cooper. Gal Gadot, who is also in this reboot of Snow White, by the way, she got hate for being cast as Cleopatra. Gal Gadot is. Is Israeli. She actually fought in the idf. She's Israeli. And people were saying, well, she can't be cast as Cleopatra. Here's the guardian. Gal Gadot as Cleopatra is a step backward for Hollywood representation. And this author, Hannah Flint, she said casting misses the chance to give a North African actor a chance to play Cleopatra. And it turns out that historians say that Cleopatra is actually Greek and Persian. So she wasn't North African either. But, you know, don't check the facts, okay? Hollywood doesn't care about the facts. They care that about a woman who looks white and appears white is playing an Egyptian person of. Of color in history. But they're wrong. It doesn't even matter. So here's the hypocrisy, though. People of color can play white characters. That's no problem. So the Little Mermaid that has been rebooted recently, she's black and she can play Ariel. So they give a black girl the red hair. No big deal, right? I think Netflix did a rendition of some show with Queen Elizabeth, and Queen Elizabeth was black. Okay, so Snow White can be Latina, but God forbid, it's the other way around. And a white actor plays something else. Pretending's okay, but not if you know it just like crosses their wires a little bit. In the woke world, they just get like a little confused. But the DEI craziness didn't stop there. You would think that by Hollywood logic they would want to cast little people as the seven dwarves. Nope. Get that crazy thought out of your heads. We don't want little people to play play dwarves. So Peter Dinklage, very famous actor with dwarfism, by the way, put a stop to all this saying it's wrong to cast little people as dwarves because they should be cast as other characters as well. They shouldn't be pigeonholed into these fantasy roles. So the wrap reporting, Disney assures Peter Dinklage on Snow White reboot We are taking a different approach to the dwarf characters. And boy, did they take a different approach. They used AI for the dwarves. This may be one of the first American jobs lost to AI thanks to Peter Dinklage. They didn't cast humans at all to play the dwarves. They are literally fake. They are cgi. They are AI and it's just rich coming from Peter Dinklage because he's one of the most favorite famous actors with dwarfism. He had a very funny role in the movie Elf where he didn't play an elf, but there is this iconic scene where Will Ferrell, who is an elf. Mistake. He mistook Peter Dinklage's character for an elf. You know, he's a very angry elf. So obviously he. That ca. That check cashed fine when he was a little person. An elf. That was fine when he was one of the biggest stars on Game of Thrones and a fantasy series. That was fine. That check cashed fine. So it's okay for Peter Dinklage to cash in on being a little person, but God forbid anyone else in that community wants to get their shot. And a lot of the little people who are actors are pissed off, and rightfully so, because who died and made Peter Dinklage the king of all actors with dwarfism? It's insane. He absolutely took these opportunities away from actors with dwarfism. It's sick. And, like, what is inclusive about that? So all of the actors with dwarfism who probably would have, you know, just died to have this opportunity to star in Snow White, because these opportunities don't come along very often for actors with dwarfism. And I understand Peter Dinklage's, you know, stance where he's like, you know, little people shouldn't just be cast as little people, but, you know, to take away the opportunity like, this could have been one of their big shot. And he totally just, you know, crapped the bed for these other. These other artists and actors in the space. So I think this is a total loss now. You know, people who watch this movie, they're not going to see actors. They're going to see CGI or AI versions of elves and dwarves. You know, Peter Bradshaw from the Guardian, this is one of the critics here. He gave the film one star. He called it an exhaustingly awful reboot. He describes the costume design for Snow White as a, quote, supermarket retail tweenie outfit with puffy sleeved shoulders. He said, otherwise. Performers Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot are forced to go through the motions, and they give the dullest performance of their lives. That is not a good review. One star. And I do want to say, on the topic of reboots, can we just stop Hollywood? Any film that comes out now, it's either a reboot or it's a prequel or it's a sequel. No one in Hollywood, all these starving actors who go on strike, all these writers, they're. They're looking for work, and it's like, go write Something, then, damn, go write something new. Come up with something like, seriously, none of them come up with anything new or exciting or different. It's like, go write something new then. Go write a story that has a black character or Asian character or whatever. Like you complain about like this whitewashing of Hollywood. Like, go do something about it then, but stop turning white characters and making them some other race. Like this whole flip flopping thing is just stupid. So I'm just saying people in Hollywood are lazy as hell and instead of just complaining, like they could just do something about it. So why don't you go do that? But I will say some people in Hollywood are maybe waking up a little bit. Gwyneth Paltrow is fascinated apparently by the Maha movement. She just did a cover for Vanity Fair and it says Gwyneth Paltrow on motherhood, Maha, Meghan Markle making out with Timothy Chalamet and much more. So they did ask her about the Maha movement. It's interesting. The actress, she, she said a lot of our institutions are really failing us and that this pervasive, sweeping axiom that Americans feel consumers shape the markets and people are starting to vote with their wallets on this stuff. She's speaking about everyone buying healthier. They're, they're getting onto the raw milk trend. They're really, you know, they're reading nutrition labels, they want to make healthier decisions. And she's apparently fascinated by this. She didn't call out RFK Jr by name, but I think this is indicative of, you know, the Maha movement is something that even the wokest craziest people in Hollywood and conservatives can come together on. I mean, why wouldn't we be able to come together on being healthy? I think it's crazy. And you know, some of the things that Gwyneth Paltrow and RFK Jr agree on. Gwyneth Paltrow talked about the, the evils of glyphosate companies like Monsanto. They spray all of the vegetables with glyphosate, which is this carcinogen. And essentially it's all over our, our produce and we eat it and it's giving us cancer. It's making us sick. So again, this is something that we can come together on. It's really great. But speaking of food in this country, here's an interesting update here. So Doordash is one of these, you know, food delivery services. They have an app. You can order food from local restaurants and grocery stores, et cetera, and someone will bring the food to you. And now Klarna is teaming up with Doordash is buy now, pay later, a food on food, a recession indicator. It's interesting. So now people who order food. So let's say you want to use this app and order pizza. You can now let's say the pizza is $30. First of all, anytime you order on one of these apps, it is like astronomical. The amount of taxes and tips and other fees. If the pizza is $30, it ends up being 50. I don't know how, like, the math does not math for me. I don't know how it always. The price always jumps up in like 20 bucks for me, like 15 to 20 bucks. I'm like, what just happened here? Anytime I try to order on one of these apps, I've used uber eats, seamless, DoorDash, Grubhub, all of them. And this one, you know, DoorDash is now teaming up with Klarna, which is like an after pay type situation. So people can now order, let's say a $30 pizza that ends up being $50, but we won't go there. So $30, for the sake of argument. And, and they can now pay this pizza off in installments. So maybe over three months they can pay $10 a month to pay off this food delivery bill. We have gotten to a very sad place in America. If this is. People are so riddled with credit card debt. This is not, we're not moving in the right direction here. This is not good. And we were all talking about this earlier. You know, you, I don't think that people who are strapped for cash are ordering on these apps because like I said, the fees are astronomical. Again, they're adding. It's, you know, you've got to tip the driver, the delivery person. They always make you the tip that they say is based off of the amount of food. So it's not even like you're tipping on service really. Like, they encourage you to tip 10, 15, 20% on the price of the pizza, which doesn't make sense, but people are tipping a lot and then there's fees for everything. So again, you know, if you're strapped for cash, like, you're not ordering food like this. But this, you know, teaming up with Klarna is going to be bad. Like they're tapping into a, a market of people who are not well off financially. They shouldn't be putting food or like a meal on after pay. And Dave Ramsey, who is the king of economic advice, he responded to a tweet about this on X and he responded with a Gif. And he just looks like, absolutely in disbelief. He's like, no, no, no. Because people call into Dave Ramsey's show for financial advice all the time, and he'll tell people who are in massive amounts of debt, like, cut up your credit cards. Do not put things on after pay. So, so imagine how Dave Ramsey feels, people putting their pizza or their burrito or whatever on after pay. Things are not good. But we are at that time in the show. You know what that time is? It's scrolling time. I'm going to dance every day. I think I like it. Justin, did you pick out that song? Sort of. Sort of. Kind of gi. Okay, Ghee. I like that song. The first video that I have for you is just very serendipitous. It just makes you feel good. This is. This is where, you know, the crazy left, they hate on people who wear MAGA hats and sometimes justice is served. So this is going to be a video. This is a obviously a leftist crazy person who confronted a man wearing a MAGA hat on the New York City subway. And it didn't go so well. Watch this. He's a racist.
