Rob Schneider isn’t just one of the funniest actors to appear on Saturday Night Live. He’s also a recent convert to Christianity and a staunch conservative who isn’t afraid to make his voice heard, even on contentious culture war issues such as the issue of transgender individuals participating in women’s sports contests.
Recently, he showed that swaggering spirit yet again with a post on X about Disney and its dismal decline. Posting on the matter, Schneider argued that Americans, particularly those with families, were infuriated by Disney’s attempts to indoctrinate rather than entertain and so they had tuned out, much to the company’s financial pain.
In his post on Disney and its failures, which he claimed were due to infuriated American families, Schneider said, “Disney got financially spanked by American families who don’t want their children indoctrinated by idiotic Woke lunacy. Now they will return once again to being the great entertainment company for ALL Americans. Thank YOU, America!”
Commenting people argued that little would change at Disney until its leadership is swept out and replaced with those who want to return Disney to its roots rather than keeping it on its current, woke path. One commenter, for example, said, “Honestly they’ll never change until most of their board members are removed for not doing their job which is oversight of Iger & the Exec team. They’re basically shills for Iger. A rubber stamp for anything he & Kathleen Kennedy want to do. Until then it’s a hard pass.”
Similarly, another commenter said, “Highly unlikely anything will change without a top-to-bottom mouse-house cleaning. Years of agenda-based hiring gives the company activists instead of employees. Meanwhile, they nearly doubled their Disney- streaming price. That was the last straw for me; my subscription expired a couple of days ago. If it wasn’t an annual renewal, I would have cancelled it months ago. I do hope they get back on track. It would be nice to see compelling Marvel and Star Wars content again.”
That was far from the only time Schneider commented on the political situation. Recently, he explained why he and his family ditched California, saying, “That’s why I moved my family out of California. But the Universities all over the US are wastelands of mind numbing and mind dumbing woke ideology, no longer teaching young minds how to think critically but churning out advocates for illiberal lunacy.” That came in response to a tweet from Elon Musk which said, “Adults in the US do not understand what madness their children are being taught.”
In another recent post he jokingly pledged to eat more meat, a post that came in response to a claim that the UN wants Americans to eat less meat. In his meat post, Schneider said, “UN set to call on America to reduce its meat consumption…I will now double up and eat twice as much (grass fed) meat. The UN doesn’t tell Americans how to live or what to eat.”
Schneider is far from the only one to comment on Disney’s many troubles. Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing, describing why the company will have a hard time changing course, even if its leadership wants to, said, “Disney has engaged in the greatest act of brand suicide that has probably ever happened. in recorded history, the most beloved brand, the most goodwill with the most important people, parents, on behalf of the most, the most vulnerable people, children, we, we trust Disney for three consecutive generations. We as adults trust Disney with our children. Disney helps shape the worldview of every single adult in this country. We trusted them so much that we gave them tax breaks all over the all the goodwill that came their way because they were so unique. And they created the greatest content library ever assembled in all of human history. And then they squandered it.”
Concluding his argument, Boreing explained the lesson, saying, “The, the lesson there for anybody engaged in any kind of business is, is enormous. That if you think that you are more powerful than your audience, you have completely lost the plot. And Disney has completely lost the plot. I don’t think Bob Iger can you know, can he get their share price up over time? Maybe or maybe he’ll just sell it to Apple, which is, I think, what he’s trying to sell, he’s going to sell it to Apple. Pieces sold to Apple and it’ll become even more radical because Apple can afford for a time to be disconnected from the audience.” Watch him here:
