And she decides to call it a day before getting out of bed. Fox News contributor, Cat Toop. Is Mickey Mouse about to lose his house? It seems woke Disney fairy tales equal low ticket sales. Box office analysis of Disney's last eight studio releases show a shocking loss of nearly $1 billion. That's almost a lawsuit. It's gotten so bad. Cruel DeVille is selling dogs at Chipotle.

Pocahontas had to open a casino. And Peter Pan had to cancel his gender affirmation surgery. Sorry, Peter. That's according to a number crunch by prominent YouTuber valiant renegade, who argues that many of Disney's recent so-called hits barely broke even or flat-out tanked. That includes big budget marvel movies like Black Panther 2, Ant Man 3, as well as animation bombs like Strange World and Lightyear, and my favorite snow white in the seven drag queens.

The latest Indiana Jones, also produced by Disney, could suffer a similar fate if the terrible reviews are anything to go by. It doesn't look good, I'm told 80-year-old Indiana Jones spends the entire film looking for the men's room. For some of us, that is a treasure. And what does this say about Disney?

Once a cultural icon of American family values is to come to the siren song of wokeism, devolving into an out-of-touch and desperate divorced dad bereft of imagination. In fact is, we all liked Mickey Mouse before he started scolding us about people's pronouns, but lefties can make you learn to hate everything from Disney to schoolteachers to sports.

But maybe we're misremembering just how wholesome their classic movies really were. I mean, check out this old cartoon. This just in, the Irish are moving into the neighborhood. Holy shit. Those pattiwax are taking over. Not those drunken Catholics. Those guys are perverts.

Okay, Bluto. We're going to have to shoot our way out of this one. Oh, they're here. You! A mother . This is what happens when you give women the right to vote. You know, Kennedy, I love or hate the old Disney.

They had some good ideas. You know, the women voting thing hasn't worked out too well. What do you make of this, what's going on with Disney? Do you think it's all about wokeism? It can't be. No, not necessarily. I think that they send so much stuff to Disney Plus that really got oversaturated. And things have to be so special to spend as much money as we do going to movies.

Like most people cannot afford family movie tickets even for a night. So now they have, like, dine-in movie theaters where they're trying to lure you in with not and booze, which works for me pretty much every Saturday night because I'm only buying one ticket because I leave my cats at home. But there's something else that's very creepy about Disney, and we have to bring this up, and that's the fact that the mom dies in pretty much every movie, and Disney has been unable to reconcile that, and now there are all these theories that, like, Nemo was killed as well, and his dad, it's like the sixth sense, and he's just looking for the kid who wasn't there because they all got eaten by the shark. Wow, I did not see that coming at all. You know what sucks about Disney? How pathetic it is that you can't sell Disney. That's like not being able to sell ice cream or something.

Like, if you want to have an easy job as a salesman, you know, go work for Ben and Jerry's, where everybody loves ice cream, everybody loves, but they manage to screw up Disney. How can you make it so that nobody likes Disney? You attack yourself, and that's exactly what they've done. I mean, if you look at all the movies, look at movies like, Bambi or Fox and the Hound. I mean, they tackle life and death. They tackle, I mean, Fox and the Hound are

two animals that are supposed to want to kill each other. Like, they tackle real life stuff, or they tackle the completely imaginative stuff like Peter Pan, but even in there are real world issues that people actually deal with. When you start making movies that attack that,

when you start making movies that create problems rather than literally just highlighting the ones that exist, what is left for people to identify with? When we want to go watch a movie that's outside of this world, we go watch 80-year-old Tom Cruise Fly Jet and kill a bunch of probably Russians, but they never really say. You know, that's the kind of movie we want to see. When we watch Disney wholesome movies with our kids, we want to walk away knowing our kids learn something about life that we haven't quite been able to put into words, but this cartoon helped us figure out. You know what, Cat Disney should do a movie about the naked bike riders.

could learn something from that. Thank you. I don't really think you could learn anything from that. To be clear. But actually, well, I think Disney should rebrand because they are struggling to make money from their movies at this point. But they make a lot of money from their corn dogs.

Oh, Disney. Yes, they could sell a corn dog for $10. for $10 at Disneyland. Anybody else tries to do that? They'll be like, get out of my face. But Disney, so the movie business is failing, but the corn dog business is flourishing. It is. And who doesn't love a corn dog?

I really do. I know. So to the naked bike rider. I knew he was going to say that. Watch them eating that. Yeah. All right, to me. I can boil this down for you for real.

This is actually a semi-serious point. Oh, here we go. Here we go. The wokeism is what's hurting them, though, for real, because Disney's core customer is parents. Right. And they're lecturing parents about inclusion while they're charging them $200 to get in,

which is the most exclusionary thing you've ever heard in your life is the prices. So that's where it is. They're out of touch with the value of the customer. Pretty soon they're going to have a version of Sleeping Beauty starring Bill Cosby. Okay, nobody wants that. I'm just saying...

Again, they're blaming you for Bill Cosby. I got in trouble again. I'm not mixing these drinks. What's going on here? Hold on. They're confused. Yeah, this is not Bill Cosby. They're not him.

They gave me a little chair in the makeup chair, but I'm not quite that good. But that's where it is. So on some level, I like watching them tank because they're going to be forced into a course correction. Yeah. That's the way it always works. Yeah. Everybody always, they go too far, too far, too far. And then they go.

Yeah. They embraced a lot of things. That happens when I'm driving it. keep going past the bathroom. Yeah, well, you know what you should do? You should sit on a second phone book, so it's easier to see over the dish. You know, that was...

Yeah, I agree. That's what happens to me when I'm too far away from the bathroom. Like, I'm too far out of... I'm too far out of... All right. I can't run. Up next, could new rules mean sad goodbyes for pizza pies? New York wants to ruin your slice, but one man says no dice.

New York City drafted new rules to restrict coal and wood-fired pizza ovens in the name of fighting climate change. There you go. No surprise. The science says pizza ovens caused several ice ages, the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and the canceling of Dr. Quinn, medicine woman. The rule could require pizzerias with such ovens installed prior to May 2016 to buy expensive

emission control devices, that's what it's about, to reduce carbon pollution by 75%. Because in today's effed-up world, shoplifting may be fine, but making pizza is over the line. This is despite the fact that you'd have to burn a pizza stove for 849 years straight to equal the emissions that John Kerry's jet emits

in just one year. Yeah. Yeah. So they're outlawing gas stoves, and now they want the pizza ovens. What are we supposed to cook on? Solar panels? One guy, Scott Lobato, had enough and went to City Hall yesterday to fight the crackdown. As you'll see, he was really cheezed off. Our city schools produce the dumbest kids, and the woke-ass punks who run New York City are afraid of pizza? You heard of the Boston Tea Party? Well, this is the Boston, New York. This is the New York. This is the New York. your pizza party. You know, don't laugh. He did that

without a script. I think that's clever. Then he actually threw pizza at City Hall. Give us pizza or give us death. Give us pizza or give us death. Can't have a small business.

Can't have pizza? New York City is nothing without pizza. Kat, he's got a point. Yeah. I mean, number one, look, these, the people that make these rules have never run a business. They've never run a small business. To them, they're just, they don't think, oh, we're putting it, we're putting out, we're putting four dozen businesses out because they can't afford whatever that they're demanding.

Yeah. It's gotten so bad, and I don't see how certain areas or certain things recover. There's a stretch of a block where it's on the east side where my cat's vet is. The entire side of the street on that block, every business there is shut down. Every storefront is empty. So that's bad because obviously those businesses failed, but also how are they going to get a new one to move in there? Who's going to be the guy to be like, yes, I'd like to hinge my livelihood on this deserted island over here. And so all they can think of to do is, you know what, let's make it even harder? Yeah, they'll get it. They don't get it. Johnny, it pisses me off because pizza is great. Yes. That is bold of you to go there. You know what? Sometimes I've got to take a stand, right? My buddy in Chicago said New York pizza sucks anyway. I don't know what that means. I'm not in the end on this spot. It was the two guys in MAGA country out there, actually. This guys were getting the 9 o'clock hour.

Trust me. Just think about this. These idiots are saying you can't use wood to have a fire. Yes. You can't use wood to have a fire. Like, what? There's a few things I can count on when the world goes completely stupid and shuts down. One of those few things is you've been.

You bathe upstream, right, and get your drinking water upstream from that, and you get your fire from wood. That's it. You bait upstream? Bathe. Bathe. Oh, I thought you said bait. Bade. Why do you bathe upstream?

Because you use the bathroom downstream. Ah. When the world goes... I wonder I've been sick all month. That's right. I've been drinking out of a toilet. Whoops. Jimmy!

Awkward! I wish they banned your shirt, but I can't get everything. You know, obviously, as a cab driver, which you were probably going to bring up in a little. You lived off slices of pizza. So this is a direct attack on people like you. And I use the word people loosely. I want to defend John Kerry, though. Okay. He can't fly commercial because he gets mob because they think it's the horse from Mr. Ed. Then everybody wants to take a selfie. No, you want to what the scam of this is, though, for real? It'll do nothing in terms of the environment. Okay, understand. The biggest source of police. in New York City is traffic. Right. And the green energy people are causing more of it by eliminating car lanes for bike lanes and pedestrian malls. And now, yes, restaurant seating in the right lane of 6th Avenue, which are going to be honest, not the safest, okay? But they're actually making it worse. And it's already destroying porn. I was watching a video today. Pizza guy shows up with a pizza, they just arrest him.

They're like, is that cold? Well, that turns into a different kind of porn. I don't know. I thought it was going to be short for. I don't even know what he means. Kennedy, again, punishing people who are just trying to make a living. That's what... New York is just a place for the rich to punish the poor. I'm so glad you brought that up because rich liberals have woodburning pizza ovens in their backyard. They do. That is one of the things.

So if you're going to show your friends, your strawberries, your perks that you have in your gorgeous gated community, of course you have like solar panels and a Tesla and Fort Bentley's, but you also have a wood burning pizza oven. And, you know, Jimmy's absolutely right. It's not the cause of pollution. In fact, if you take away all of the wood-burning ovens, which there aren't that many, then you're going to have to cook the food that people love using electricity. And in New York, guess where they get electricity? From natural gas and coal-fired plants. What does that do to the earth?

It rapes it. The infantry, Kennedy. With its tapioca bottom. Hope we're happy. I love tapioca. Good for you, Joey. A great ad on right there. I love tapioca.

I love tapioca. What the hell is right with you? It's better than him saying... Yeah. But it's better than him saying he liked the other part of her analogy. Coming up, local news from a talented otter to a world's weird police plotter. We're out of time. Kennedy, JJ, Jip and Veda,
