Disney, as always.
As a Floridian I'm rooting for Disney.
Definitely Disney. DeSantis doesn't have a leg to stand on.
So trump give banks freedom to fail but get bailed out for supporting his party and he's the fascist . Not Guy did bail out bank for supporting his party never mind fascism actually means
does the fact that king charles the 3rd is not the king of england but the king of britain matter?

Who would have thought that the company capable of keeping Mickey Mouse out of the public domain for decades would have really good lawyers?
So Ron removed those authorities and power's from Disney and he Lost
The credit for that abomination belongs to their lobbyists.
@@joachimschoder Fair enough. But still, their legal department is not one to be messed with. It's still kinda weird to see them stand at the right side of history for once (relative to general public perception), usually they're depicted the villain of the story.
If they keep messing with Ron. I think letting them have Mickey Mouse is a small price to pay. Go Disney
@@doomse150 I also feel torn about it all. Desantis has to be that bad to come off the villain vs Disney (which he is). Disney should have never been allowed to form it's own autonomous county within a state but... Desantis is the monstro stalking our freedoms.
The whole "you're not allowed to criticize the government" thing is just outright fascism. Plain and simple.
Yeah, I don't understand why more people aren't pointing this out, including Disney themselves. Ron's only going after them because they opposed his stupid bill. This is like THE textbook example of violating the first amendment, but I guess nobody cares because they think every 1st amendment violation is someone on facebook telling them to shut up.
They didnt criticize the gov, they demanded political action and outright lied calling his bill something it wasnt, even this video lied about what it actually does, it doesnt make "discussion illegal" it makes "instruction from teachers illegal". They involved themselves into politics and most people in orlando are so sick of disney that they loved every second of it. This video also isnt completely honest, it seems to start at disneys "win" and stop before their utter defeat. Classic lawyer bs lmfao. Lets just say disney is "paying their fair share" now.
@@Bonewolf07 not relevant.
Not even fascism, just authoritarianism. It’s in connection with the other 13 characteristics that the GOP is outright fascist 😂
No no, it's not "You're not allowed to criticize the government" - it's that we're not allowed to criticize *Republican* governance.
"Guys, get Disney where they're weak: their legal team!"
Edit: well that aged poorly.
Corporations rob us of our dignity and independence and that these systems must be ripped down, burnt down, or leveled by any force necessary.
LOL!!!
😂😂😂
ayyyy, fellow ace.
The only way you would have a worse chance of beating mickey mouse is going into a war against the actual character: the character can create a sword from his own heart that shoots magic (which if death battle is to be believed is superior to yoda’s lightsaber and the forc) the mouse also has army allies from every kingdom of every country (including the oceans), the rebel alliance, the imperials and the avengers. Ron desantes couldn’t beat that army, cathulu couldn’t beat that army.
DeSantis calling Disney “woke” has got to be the funniest thing I heard in a while.
the new Disney series Pauline is about a pregnant teenager falling in love with a devil
Corporations rob us of our dignity and independence and that these systems must be ripped down, burnt down, or leveled by any force necessary.
@@dianacat5966 it's about a 18 year old woman. But sure use teenager because then it sound like it's about a 14 years old or something.
Btw: what's woke about being pregnant? Or a woman?
whats your point? they are woke they put about 50 gays in every kids show
@@dianacat5966 isn’t that a German show that’s going to be on Disney+? Disney+ also has the Simpsons and other non-children friendly shows so that doesn’t seem like a huge deal?
"Don't get in a legal fight with Disney" should rank up there with "Don't invade Russia in the winter" in the sayings to live by category
I dunno, Russia isn't doing so hot these days. "Don't invade Soviet Russia in the Winter" is where I'll peg it.
@@SinHurr don't threaten me with a good time

@@SinHurr It's literally what Russia did but going in the other direction (not very far, as it turns out).
imagine being in a political battle with a huge soulless corporation and being squarely in the moral wrong lmao
Absolutely unbelievable. How do you do such a bad job that you make Disney the blatant [anti]heroes of the situation?
@@somerandomperson1619 The GOP in multiple states is blocking bills to raise the legal age of marriage. One GOP sleaze in Missouri likes the idea of 12 year old children married to adults. Every GOP accusation of grooming actually has been a confession.
@@somerandomperson1619 imagine your country so out of touch it does nothing about the hordes of children being murdered in mass shootings literally almost every day but REALLY feels the need to protect kids from accidentally learning that some people can have 2 dads lmao
@@somerandomperson1619 You probably _should_ hate when the govt. says that, because "we must protect the children!" is one of the statements that bad laws constantly hide behind (alongside "but we need these powers to fight the [terrorists/china/scary clowns/etc.]!" and "we are naming this law after (person who died tragically) because this law will prevent their tragedy from happening again").
@@somerandomperson1619 Because public schools where child abuse rates exceed even the worst years from the Roman Catholic Church can certainly benefit from allowing adults to inspect the bodies of minors. Yup, that's totally a plus and will lead to less terrible situations, totally.
“This is how it works Democrats, and I didn’t make the rules.”
But…but you DO actually, because you literally JUST helped the new rule be passed! That’s making the rules!
That's the Fascist playbook: lie to your face just to demonstrate that they can.
I think he’s talking about a moral rule. You don’t let strangers talk to your kids about sex. He didn’t make that moral rule, but if he has to enforce, he will.
@@jmrgamer8473 so what’s sex ed?
Sex Ed and lgbtq are not equivalent. One is biology, one is either a mental illness, a sexual fetish, or people trying to fit in to a group. They all need help and love, but I promise you “affirming” them isn’t helping. If you look at the charts, as affirmation goes up, suicidality goes up.
@@Nina-zm4ej and honestly, the sex Ed I had in my school was borderline pornographic. A couple of my friends actually got addicted to pornography afterwards and it’s caused them a host of problem. I personally think that it should be taken down a ton of levels, or be left up to the parents, though I know not all parents will explain it.
Reminds me of the time people got rid of sites that used bots to bootleg artwork for merch by tricking the bots into going for copyrighted Disney artwork and then tattling on the site to Disney.
Nice!
DeSantis managed to achieve something incredible, to be fair. He managed to get people to actually cheer on Disney's lawyers.
So true!
Hahaha 😝 I agree!
To be fair to DeStracted, I'm not sure who he thought he was going up against. The mouse may be joyful for the children to see, but the snakes he has working for him are not to be trifled with; piranhas have more compassion and mercy.
You either die a villain or live long enough to see yourself become the hero. 😂😂😂
The cruel, vile irony...
My favourite part of this whole debacle was the part when a Republican politician thought they had access to better lawyers than... *checks notes* a $183 billion dollar 100 year old corporation with an illustrious history of legal litigation almost exclusively in contract and copyright law.
Its actually kind of amusing is that Disney wasn't much of a business man when he started and it was after he got backstabbed by a business partner which is why Mickey's older brother got lost to time. So one could look at this situation as beyond death vow to never be swindled again. Now if only Disney applied that power to well...anything then what it is currently doing things would be pretty chill.
When you're used to being the top bully/king of the playground it comes as a shock to realize that outside of said playground you're just a pathetic chump. Sucks for DeSantis.
Same to all the little sycophants who thought they'd be able to wield any actual power against Disney by donating money to DeSantis. That group of leeches and hanger-ons are even worse. Can you imagine just how sad and pathetic that group must be after their delusions of grandeur whereby they convinced themselves that they'd be able to bring Disney to heel and turn it into a religious/conservative organization? 😂
Well, your first mistake was expecting a modern Republican politician to be a critical student of history, so...
@@The_Viscount Bold of you to assume that I believed many a modern person in general is a critical student of history.
Corporations should not have their own district.
Kids should not be taught sexuality.
DeSantis won by as much as he did for a reason. You don't see many people that agree because they get shadowbanned.
Luckily, we have Democrats to make cities like Portland, where over 75% of businesses get vandalized and half the population are drugged up zombies.
Did legal eagle go to Disneyland just for one site gag? No, they went to Disneyland to film many side gags, because he's thorough enough of a lawyer to understand what is required of him to get his Disneyland trip written off as a business expense 😂.
Fantastic
The reason corporations CAN frustrate the democratic process is that the entire-ass country is set up that way. Much of it done by repugs. This time, it just happens to be much more public than usual and the corporation is, however marginally, the good guy.
The original position fallacy is so core to a rightist ideology that removing it from one is like trying to remove hydrogen atoms from water molecules and continuing to have water molecules.
The corporation is not the good guy. You lunatics have just flagrantly betrayed the proletariat because of butt stuff.
All they do is make bad movies. Destantis is ignoring basic human rights
@@boshwa20 You are so, so, so full of shit. Disney is one of the five or six conglomerates that control all the news and information you get to hear. Read some Chomsky to learn about what all that entails. Desantis - and I'm no arse sniffer of his either - just made a lot of people mad because he had the sheer audacity to believe that 3rd graders shouldn't be learning about butt stuff... 🙊
@@paladinely3337 Thank goodness I'm not the only one here who makes any sense!
The "How dare you try to legally defy the legislation we specifically drafted to punish you" outrage is what gets me.
So you're fine with a corporation owning part of the US and making up their own rules? People on the left are so delusional
These are the same people literally weaponizng the government against a private entity that spoke against them, while whining about the 1st Amendment when they get banned from Twitter.

Nothing says "anti-grooming" like enacting legislation that allows for the inspection of children's genitalia.
Lets not forget the GOP is the party that has a state senator who defended 12 years being married to Adults, by saying he knows such a couple and they are 'Still together' this is the party that accuses the other of 'Grooming'
It is some seriously creepy AF stuff they are legislating. Stuff that would genuinely be child abuse grade harm to kids. Imagine being forced to do that as a kid..?
EVERY Republican accusation is actually a confession, without exception. Conservatives are uncreative and cannot conceive of anyone being better human beings than they themselves are. Since they are scoundrels, they assume everyone is a scoundrel.
So yes - the republicans latched onto “groomer” harder than anything because they are the party of sexualizing children.
What's actually going on with that republican law to have gym teachers inspect girls genitals in case any boys are hiding there? Yuck. Is that still gonna happen? I'm honestly too exhausted diving through republican sewage to check.
No doubt you think that's what the bill says. But it doesn't. It does not state to do an 'inspection'. It is something between the parents and the DOCTOR. It is NOT saying that school personnel will be doing an inspection. Don't be ridiculous. Or continue believing whatever the left tells you. Perhaps.. you are being lied to.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, i suppose? Never did i think i would actively root for Disney's lawyers, but if theres anyone that can knock out Desantis, its the mouse.
Lions and crocodiles both are known to eat antelope, but if I were an antelope being chased by a lion, and then that lion got into a fight with a crocodile who was just chilling on the river bank, I would definitely root for the reptile ;)
The OP’s comment is quite accurate, but for me, I’m rooting for Desantis. Sure he doesn’t respect me but Disney is morally bankrupt enough to spit on their own fans, and work with concentration camps in china, so really…
Except they didn't DeSantis successfully disolved the RCID before you made this post. It happened in June.
@@swamp1138it'll come back
@@SteveDe935 It's not going to. Especially after the recent audit. There is no way they will ever have that ammount of control over that district ever again. Disney messed around and found out.
Oops!! Now who's laughing!! Federal case dismissed!!
And another L for Disney today. Legal Eagle and his fans really shouldn’t have taken a victory lap so quickly.
If you have to give Ron Desantis credit for anything, it's that he actually managed to make Disney's infamously vicious lawyers the good guys in a story.
Or you just never want to agree with Ron no matter what he says.
@@pepperonipizza8200 That's absurd. If Ron says puppies are awesome, I'm certainly perfectly willing to agree with him.
@@pepperonipizza8200 I agree. Ron is a white supremacist ally who shouldn't be agreed with. Like a serial killer, he just needs to be removed from society immediately to mitigate damage to innocent people.

This is a PERFECT law for Malicious Compliance.
Take the most "Karen" parent and send them daily notifications of changes in behavior: child asked to change seat, child drank milk, child stepped out at un unusual time to go to the bathroom, child has a new friend, child asked to join a glee club, drama club, science club, child asked a disturbing question in class, etc.
Comply the hell out of that law.
I like to think that back when I was a kid my classmates and I would have had a field day with that law.
Every other day someone else would come out as L, B or +
"male child was seen walking down the hall in a disturbingly feminine way" "female child elected to wear pants for the fifth time this week" "timmy reached for a pink marker in art class today, the proper authorities have been notified" but yea no, we're definitely the creeps 😭 not caring about a middle schoolers gender experimenting is definitely grooming, obsessing over it, heavily monitoring it, and passing laws to tightly control it and make it unsafe? well that's just family values, sorry commies!
Some parents would probably love that.
"Child read a book after doing class work. It is a different book than the one they read yesterday."
Sounds great until the state starts taking the kids away
Remember kids, for every winning lawyer there is a losing lawyer and each is getting paid to represent. Sometimes you give legal commentary about areas you don't practice in and end up having this memorializing your legal career. Disney ended up folding more than a wrapper of trash from their overpriced concessions.
Using terms like grooming in vain, lying to smear a minority, it's just forsakes everyone included in it, those who have been groomed and the innocent people being smeared
Man Ron DeSantis is talented. He's probably the only person that could get someone to cheer for Disney in a legal battle.
fr
That is impressive in a way
Yeah
Yeah. I detest Disney (mostly for their copyright shenanigans*) but DeSantis somehow managed to get me to support them. The way Disney controlled the district stank to high heaven, but supporting LGBTQ+ was not one of the problems.
*(The Star Wars Sequels didn't help.)
I guess you could say it's....MOST impressive.
I'm not sorry lol
Considering Disney once sued a daycare for putting Mickey Mouse on the walls, Ron DeSantis had absolutely no clue who he was messing with.
No, he did. He just has the typical authoritarian conservative mindset that he’s the smartest in the room, and that he could outsmart and bully Disney into submission. He’s a stupid person’s idea of a smart man, and a weak person’s idea of a strong man. Desantis just assumed he could come in and bully his way through. I’m not a fan of Disney or their heavy handed legislative tactics, but I’m glad they’re punching back.
Now if only the monster would choke to death while eating the doctor, this Frankenstein story would have a happy ending.
He knows I think he also knows he won't win. This is just to score easy headlines in republican media which is designed to help his win the republican nomination.
Actually, given that example, he probably does.
@@BirdLives7 Well, he got the headlines but i doubt its good to have headlines basically calling you an idiot.

"Vow revenge" is one thing a politician should never be doing. It's not part of their job. It's a distraction from the work that politicians are elected to do. It's also childish and shows just how immature DeSantis is. it also reflects badly on every person who voted him into office - they should be embarrassed by all of this.

Like most of Legal Eagle's videos over time lol
Disney is now suing Ron in Federal court for using his office powers for political retribution against Disney.
Since Ron and his associates helpfully made it very clear why they were taking action against Disney.
Loving it.
Evidently Disney has a very strong case, as multiple past state and federal attorney generals have said.
It's not a difficult case when the evidence is posted by the defendant on Twitter voluntarily for months.
guy needs to be impeached so he cant run for president... I cant believe im saying this but I think he has a very good chance at being president one day...
It's deeply amusing that part of how they got outsmarted was because DeSantis appointed to his board a bunch of people who agreed with him ideologically, but not legal or business law experts, and thus the people who appointed simply completely failed to notice what was right in front of them until it was too late to do anything about it, if only because that keeps happening with the GOP these days.
Nepotism is the first sign of corruption.
Loyalty over competence.

When you get rid of anyone who doesn’t agree with you and only appoint yes men regardless of their quality, you’re not left with much. The GOP has been digging their own hole for years this way.
I'm amazed, with all the gnashing of teeth people had about "Atlas Shrugged" that people don't realize the Repubs are enacting the same objectionable behaviour.
Wow... this video didn't age well at all. Looks like Disney lost this one after all
Yup Disney really outsmarted DeSantis. Not.
It is so sad to see people calling educating children about sexuality "sexualizing children" and "grooming children". Especially knowing that teaching children how things work and what is appropriate and is not, actually helps them speak up and prevent prolonged sexual abuse.
It is precisely this "anti-grooming" ideology that is making grooming easier.
And of course teaching about LGBTQIA+ issues actively prevents future misery for some children while having little or no negative impact on the other children (research even suggests that a more LGBTQIA+ accepting society would benefit everyone)
@@megustAslagt I’m seeing a frightening number of those sorts of comments in this thread
Yes! So much grooming is successful because children are not informed (at an appropriate level for their age). This law wants to treat children as property instead of people.
It's only because they build up these crazy strawmen and say that sexual education are drag shows or teachers "transing" kids or whatever. The only way they win these discussions is by outright lying and pretending things that don't happen are real.
@Brendan Kruger I don't think anyone in these comments has read any of the actual legal documentation or kept informed on a legitimate unbiased source. Legal eagle is ridiculously biased left. But that's the reality. You're left or right. You're not a person or individual anymore no matter what each side tries to tell you lol
The Government punishing a private entity over their public opinions doesn't seem to be something that is or should be allowed in a Democracy.
If it is illegal, DeSantis publicly shouting out his exact motives for each action will make Disney's case as easy as possible for them.
-republican- Fascist response: "wE ArE uH REpuBliC!"
Exactly, it’s why it’s the 1st amendment, free speech.
Yeah, but the courts are all stacked on the Right, so there is no protection from them.
News is, we live under a Republic.
And 9 months later, Disney's suit got dismissed, as any competent lawyer could have predicted.
Damnit, beat me to it.
How is a competent lawyer supposed to predict such an absurd ruling? There's no way it'll survive appeal.
@@Anvilman The ruling is based on In Re Hubbard, which is 11th Circuit casellaw from 2016. The Court of Appeals is very unlikely to reverse their own precedent after just 7 years.
@@swa7169 Nope.

This whole situation has me howling in laughter. For decades, conservative interests have been trying to deregulate corps at every possible turn, giving them as much power as humanly possible in the current political climate.
Now that the corps are doing a thing they don't like, they think they can just... arrest control back. As if nothing happened. As if all that power they avidly provided were an illusion we all cooked up in our heads.
They created this monster. It's poetic.
Inherently autocannibalistic etc
Play stupid games and ya get stupid results. The inherent problem with conservative goals is a distinct lack of long-term planning or foresight... so they keep being surprised at the consequences of their own actions. That tends to happen when you exclusively look backwards as the world moves forwards.
Do Conservatives have healthy boundaries? I don't think so. 🤔
And now Democrats are simping for corporations who pander to "The Message" and use those corporations to censor anything they don't like. Funny how that works.

He won. But people won't vote for him, because he went against Trump, that was his biggest mistake.
Yet other results of Disney’s corporate cronyism and monopoly power have remained hidden - until now.
Crooked Kickbacks
Perhaps one of the most egregious revelations from the audit was the unethical flow of perks and benefits from Disney to RCID employees. Disney effectively bought the loyalty of the district.
According to the report, here’s how it worked: Disney would provide flashy perks to Reedy Creek employees, many of which weren’t available to the general public. These benefits included up to 40 percent off Disney cruises and merchandise, other discounts on resort rooms and services, and millions of dollars worth of Disney park annual passes for not only employees but also their friends and family - plus free, single-use, transferable tickets over the holidays. District employees even received some privileges reserved for Disney workers, known as “cast members,” such as gifts and invites to closed-door parties. Of course, none of these kickbacks were included in workers’ taxable income.
You know we're in danger when Disney lawyers are the heroes.

Trust me when i say Disney has prepared for this moment for decades, not just during the months after DeSantis signed the bill. They have had generations of legal experts consistently refining just the right charter waiting for the day when a governor like DeSantis would try to pull the trick of getting rid of their special district. There is no way any legal source DeSantis can muster is going to find a loophole in this agreement.
They can't even bother to read the publicly posted notices from the board they intend to take over; somehow I doubt their legal analysis will be any more competent.

And it's ONLY addressed when abused people are forced to provide proof no matter how that might affect them. So gross
So not teaching children to suck your d🐓 is taking away children's autonomy.
Also in a lot of these states it's legal to marry a child as long as you have their parents permission. Republics support this.
You also have Republicans arguing that allowing a child to be trans or to attend a Drag Queen Story Hour is sexualizing the child, but marrying 12 year olds to 30-50 year old men is perfectly fine.
