Theyve been modified, not just modernize, know theyve been given progressive makeovers. And that is making Many Americans think that disney has just gone too far and that they no longer represent them. For example, on cora, one of americas most popular question and answer platforms, this question pops up. Why dont we see so many gay and lesbian characters and almost all of us movies or tv series . Most of the comments sounded like this. Quote, this honestly drives me insane. I will start by saying that i have nothing against homosexuals or transgender is or whatever else there are out there these days. But its getting out of control, stop quote. And theres this comment. I agree. The gay agenda is being thrown in our faces, whether we want it or not. Look, as far as were concerned, whether theres a agenda at disney and it exists or it doesnt exist as its not for us, but they got id rather just look at the numbers, the research and heres what upsets according to gallop. Roughly 7 percent of americans identify as gay, lesbian, or transsexual, 7 percent. That means it would be perfectly normal and expected to see occasionally or 7 percent of the time or more characters on tv and movies, who are gay or lesbian, or trans actual right . Perfectly normal, but what Many Americans say they see and what studies seem to show is that its not occasional far from it. Its more like im the present or everywhere. In fact, well only 7 percent of americans may identify as l g. B, in movies, theyre more like, at a minimum 20 percent. Dont take my word for it. This is a study thats done by glad this is a Non Profit Organization that advocates for l g b t. According to their report, one 5th of all the movies that are made in hollywood have at least one l. G b, 2 character. That means according to hollywood, 25 percent of america is gay, lesbian, or transsexual. Now, is that reality . Not even close, right . I mean holly. Busy for training on america that is it like the real america yet according to glad hollywood is the doing enough. They want to make sure that america is more representative of gay, lesbian and transsexuals. Well, thats what they advocate to be fair. According to glad hollywood still has, quote, a long way to go to get it right. What they argue is that we should be seeing more good characters. And so far, Companies Like lions gate and paramount pictures, and so many pictures on United Artists and universal pictures. Walt disney studios Warner Brothers seem to agree because they are in fact casting more eligibility characters. But apparently not enough, according to glass. Studies do show that growing number of americans among those americans who support l g b t writes, they actually support l g b t rides. But theres sometimes im comfortable sitting down to watch television with their families and seeing on america that doesnt resemble the america that they have come to know for them. Its not a question of accepting eligibility. Its about watching tv shows, commercials, and movies that tell them every family must have a uncle or a lesbian aunt or an eligibility son or a daughter, or a grand parents. Even though real demographics dont bear that out. But thats not the only issue where hollywood is kind of losing america. The fact of the matter is mirrors who take in tv and movies in america. Kind of get a distorted sense of who we really are. Men, for example, man are generally emasculated in the media these days and have been for about a decade or so. The leading man used to be a dude who was strong and not afraid to show his virility and his aggressiveness. Sometimes maybe too much. Sure. But thats now being been replaced by a softer version of man. Its worse that are off. It actually presented as a stupid, clumsy not capable. Whether youre watching a commercial or a movie or a tv show, thats what youre going to see. A always have to be corrected by somebody else, especially women. Because women, on the other hand, are now the super heroes, as they are the tough gods with all the right karate shots, while man has to be saved by them. Women are also generally smarter and more capable than men in hollywood, according to movies, and according to commercials, or how theyre portrayed. The dont get me wrong. Men still make more money than women in hollywood. And thats not right. But when it comes to image, even close match. So its on social psychologist and sociologists as having kind of a, an adverse effect on boys who are growing up in america who are just kind of confused. Like, whats my role supposed to be . Fact is the world, the hollywood creates is simply nothing like the world that we live in latin americans, for example, hispanic americans. They make up almost 20 percent of the population of the United States. That means or one 5th of the population right . Yet when you watch tv and movies, according to studies, they barely even are visible. Even though theyre 20 percent of the population, they make up only 3 percent of, of the characters that you see on, on tv, and movies. And how are they presented in those movies . Criminals cleaning ladies, drug dealers. African americans, for example, have it much better these days. After all those years being treated horribly by hollywood. Now, even though they only make up 13 percent of the population, they seem on the present in movies. Good. See and tv commercials and, and tv shows by most accounts as seen by many casualty viewers. African americans seem to represent anywhere between 25 to 50 percent of the population, even though demographically. Thats nowhere near correct. And by the way, more often than not, they are presented positively by hollywood gases, professionals, doctors, and Business People and lawyers. White southerners, for example, our cast has poured adults on educated bigots. The question is whether one group is better than the other. Obviously, the reality of america is that filled with wonderful stories of great achievers, or black or African American, former slaves also, asians, and white, and hispanic, every few and between the question is does hollywood skew demographic reality . And in so doing is it losing americas trust in general . Most conservatives, of course, so yes. But theyre not alone when it comes to not trusting hollywood. Many americans, including liberals, discovered a long time ago. The hollywood is not the place you want to go to better understand the world of the country that we live in. In fact, hollywood, is that a history of lying to us flat out lying to us . No place . Is it more audacious, more malignant then its relationship with the military . Did you know that the Defense Department has a special office of a special department within the department that works with hollywood to approve and even help right and produce the movies that you watch . It seems that this is how they get us. For example, if you think about it, put yourself in the times of all these things that happened in the United States, those movies. And those tv shows is how they got us to hate the vietnamese one day. But then they switched to the rockies for the counties the next, and then theres a terrorist gloss. Busy by hollywood standards, by hollywood standards, tend to be violent errands. Russians are bullies, the chinese are sneaky. Now remember, the japanese used to be sneaky, but thats no longer the case. Because hollywood decided to reassign the sneaky thing from the japanese now to the chinese. Because somebody, and i guess the pentagon or the state department made that decision, talk about marching orders. Heres the point. According to Research Conducted in places like the university of georgia. Hollywood is in bed with the Us State Department and the pentagon. So much so that if you want to make a movie and they dont like it, its probably not going to be the same. So say your a producer and you want to make a war film. You would walk into the Entertainment Liaison office in Downtown Los Angeles resale when a film an air force base or what an aircraft carrier, i want some black old helicopters or whatever it is. And they would tell you straight away, give us your entire script. In the documentary theaters of war that you just saw, piece of producers and directors explain how the pentagon insist on control of their message. That means you have to turn your script literally over to them. Some people probably would say, well yeah, ive heard of this like the top gun and maybe black hawk down maybe some of the marble series. But what they dont know is how systematic this has been and how huge this operation is being. You can call it censorship. You can call it propaganda. Its. Its all of these things. Censorship, propaganda that says those are the words of oliver stone. Now he is one of the few directors who have succeeded without seeking the approval from the pentagon. Somebodys been able to bypass it, but thats one and a 1000000. So just how pronounced is the state departments hold on the message that we receive and movies the producers of theater award did a freedom of information act to try and get those details. Those numbers, which they say when they saw them, they were stunned. What we found is that thousands of home thousands upon thousands of products have been effected and are open rewritten. It script level by the National Security state in the United States. Do normal people know about that course, whether by the way, what do you say we continue this conversation . You and i what do you say . We go to twitter. Im there. Youre there. Call it x. Call it what you want there. Im rick sanchez, tv. Rick sanchez. Tv, ill be looking for you when we come back, how hollywood sells out. Not just in terms of a fake america that they create, but also how they sell out to the state department independent gone, do they allow to rewrite their scripts . As i mentioned earlier, i just find that amazing will be right back the the and it was warmer to the Office Agenda to separate from the petro dollar and create a gold back dean are which inevitably led to the us nato, european union, mafia ball, to kill them at the edge of a bayonet know, throw this country the syria for 12 years has been the victim of one of the most savage motors spectrum was the, the us and the u. K. M a u. And there are lights in the gulf states and then israel and turkey. And i was instructed that i had to create a crisis by a given date, so that farms and missiles could be fired. And i, i made it clear that i would do my job. I would do my duty. We have seen of carry over normal aggressiveness by the u. S. And the western powers. Theres no end in sight over how youre going to continue to destroy the earth. Is the case for the med, most of the people. I tried to go to the gym, but im certainly not ready to fight russia. This is also of soon. This is the 3rd world lunacy re Washington Press for so the funder line likes to say we have the tools while we just start with stability and business deals through somebody living online. We have very quick propaganda. You know, a price here in new york. I think we dont know the aftermath any time that youre not allowed to ask questions, you should ask all of the questions. Some more questions, ask a better. The answer is, will be russia land a fast resources found less potential civilization. This has been to the, the due, the fix, the filtering system country is most exciting accomplishments holding one venue with 2 boys and to do it the pursuit can use. This is what a liquid part of you. You will need to be able to teach this as the rush. It can be in the email to get together. And you mentioned that almost domain back out and was not good at this stage to tend to into the wiring interview. The addition to the end of the simple one to be for the the joining us out of talking about this is ted rall. Hes a political cartoonist and you can find that by the way, at raul dot com r a l l dot com. Course you can find them anywhere else cuz hes very publish also very controversial. Which may be one of the reasons that we have on the show that lets go to it. What do you say . Lets do it. So last night i was watching a movie with my wife. I went to uh, apple tv, and uh, i was watching this, jennifer garner, i wrote down the title of last thing. He told me is the name of the series good series. You can tell its well done, they put some money by that stuff. But right. As soon as i started watching it, i saw something that, that, that stood out for me as just an average boy, american guy, you know, were hispanic american guy. Um, in the interviews, jennifer gardner, shes being jennifer broader, but that all of a sudden her associate is an African American woman who is immediately like one of the 1st themes is kissing her lesbian girlfriend. And im just thinking is that really necessary . But you know, fine, but the fact that shes African American, then the next character is also uh, somebody who is obviously a day. Most of the actors are academic African American and, and, and im saying this as a guy, ted, there is no worse atrocity in the history of our country than what we did to African Americans. And they do deserve, and they deserve to be put in a place now where people can understand them as something other than the way we used to treat them in hollywood. And the way we treated him across the board. But unfortunately, thats not whats happened. Its not honest what i see when i turn on movies. When i see hollywood is not what america looks like, but what theyre trying for america to be there may be triggered on the population escape. Thats great and they need to be represented. What about 50 percent . African americans are 13 percent of the population. Theyre not 60 percent. So its creating the backlash, this antique hollywood, empty movie, anti entertainment backlash, which is creating a width in america. Thats my perspective. Whats yours . A. Look, ive experienced it personally. I pitch stuff to hollywood. Quite often. I have a project right now in development, and i had another project that was based on one of my own books. It was called real americans admit the worst thing ive ever done. Um and uh, basically the show that was, it was pitched to me, someone came to me and said, wed like to turn this into a tv show. And basically i was going to be the host was gonna be the m c. And then were gonna sort of have people recreate the worst thing that theyve ever done in episode after episode. Yeah. At one point they come to me and they said, you know, theres this problem, youre a white guy and were wondering, you know, do, do you care if the host is not you . Im like okay, thats the host is not me. Yeah. I have other things to do. Its like do you care if the host is black, for example, or another person of color . Im like, no, i dont care. And then the like, oh god, but it really should be you because he wrote the book. Im like, well, you guys go to decide what you want to do. I cant become black. Im just this is why am i in the, in the whole project fell apart because they couldnt spoil that. They said that they couldnt leave the production company, said that theres just was no bandwidth in hollywood these days for projects that either showcase uh, a white male straight assist normative, able bodied star much less and m c. And you know, it, it is. I noticed similar things on in the world of pub book publishing. I went to the local, independent books earlier today. All the books on the center table that are featured. Theyre all, its just like you describe, right. Sort of like, uh, you know, my 1st lesbian kids or, or whatever. And im kind of like thinking, this is so american. We go from a world where a black people never saw themselves on t right ever, chico, and a man was a revolutionary shot, right . For, for to contents, right . And then its like now where its where, like white people may not see, hold on tv, and thats what this isnt the 1st country as you point. I dont think either one of us would classify ourselves or could be classified as people who are either racist or dont want other people to be seen on tv. Its just that when i turn on my tv, it doesnt look anything like the america that i live in. Its. I was day representation. I want days. Its ok if you want to throw in a trans character from time to time. I certainly want African Americans and Asian Americans and everybody else by the way, hispanics are 20 percent in population. Were only drug dealers in movies for some reason. But i so, so it ain us, it in us, you know, no, its not us. And like, the thing is, you know, if, if blacks are 14 percent of the population, then if they should be in front of our eyes, roughly 40 the time ish in all arenas. Right . But i can, but i that because i tried that numbers, i can show you there, there are somewhere between 35 and 55, but thats all thats kind of yeah, thats kind of insane. And you know, i was thinking about, you may have seen this old movie, i think of, from the eightys early ninetys called boomerang. Eddie murphy was the star and it was an experiment. Click on it was experimental, felt great movies takes place in an office. And without comment, everyone in the field is black, right . Theres no, theres no, its in an office. I think its a legal office, but theres no clerk. Sure why theres no, everyones just black and the fact that theyre black isnt really central to the plot. Its just a world where everyones a black american, its cool, but its an experiment. And that that is becoming what hollywood looks like. Yeah, for real. And its like thats not a correction. A correction is where you make the, you make pop culture. Look, the way that society, right . I think we both agree. Theres Something Weird that the creating a world that doesnt exist and for some reason they are manipulating it. Now, what is the cause, right . I, i, this is what, theres a couple of Different Things that we can talk about here. The 1st is to the people in those professions who are in management and make the decisions. Thats what they believe. In other words, theyre likely is a majority of, or theyre a majority of people in hollywood for example. They tend to be very well, very liberal. You know, i dont want to go into the discussion too much, but they, they, they probably tend to be more day. They probably tend to be living in a world that makes them want to do that. That might be one of the reasons you agree. I think thats part of it. I mean, you know, i saw a bill maher sketch, where he was talking about how, you know, theres, theres, its very likely, if youre in like manhattan, where i live r l a, where he lives, that, you know, youll know, a parent who has say, a transgender child, you know, not so likely if youre from youngstown, ohio. I grew up in the day right now. And theres something to that that world is more diverse. But i also think its sort of a very corporate kind of way of looking at problems. Its like, its sort of very simplistic. Its like, okay, well we, you know, someone from the d, you have your new ceo of d. I comes over, it tells you, you know, um about, you know, see, you know, rick, we have this problem in our company. We are, we dont have nearly enough people of color, and so you think to yourself, you know, instead of thinking, okay, well we need to up that out. We need to increase that. You like, okay. No more white hires. Only bring in people of color stuff like its like we dont have enough what, what much any. Okay. So there was no, you want to tell your story, thats about you, but they want to make it about somebody else because they dont think it fits they, they, they need to do it about that, by the way. Those of you watching us around the world and you dont understand the word the tech just used. Its diversity, a quality of what it, what are the, whats the last one . Enclosure. And thats actually something now that has become part of a nomenclature for those of us here in the United States. If you work in a corporation that has become a sort of mand truck for your company nowadays. And i even have a little bit of a problem with that. Not that i have a problem with either of those words. I have a problem with the fact that theyre kind of creating quick mandating it, you know, well its, its the fact that its so ham fisted and clumsy, right . Its a fish, its like, theres no grace to it. I mean, to be reasonable. You, you kind of have to say, well, ok, i mean, look, people say life is not a 0 sum game. And when it comes to employment and exposure, it is, every minute that im on this show, someone else is not on this show, right . So this is like, so when it comes to this sort of thing like, you know, i recently had a friend suggest to me, oh, you know, hey, if you try to reach out to x, y, z, Media Corporation about maybe seeing if the, how are you doing im like, are you serious . Im exactly the demographic that theyre trying to fire. Hey, its a delight to talk to your dad, your smart guy, and i appreciate your work and i appreciate the conversation. Thanks. Thanks rick. So fun. Hey, before we go, i want to remind you of our mission here. Simple, really . We want to the silo the world. Weve got to stop living in these little boxes where we only know our troops troops dont live in little boxes there everywhere. Im rick sanchez and ill be looking for you right here. Where i hope to provide you with a direct impact the the in 1881. Seeking to expand its property in north africa, france decided to attack and easy.

Ive said that repeatedly, publicly and privately, in the United States, for years, you cannot solve this without me sitting down. And this is not ukraine and russia sitting down.
