RUSH: Look at Bob Iger. So Bob Iger, he runs a business. Disney is a network that got started doing what? Making programs and theme parks for who? Children! Children! Kids! Little babies, who grow up to become Disney fans. They watch Disney TV shows, they watch Disney movies, they buy Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse dolls, they go to the theme park.
So Bob Iger is out there, and he is livid over the anti-abortion bill in Georgia. And he’s saying (paraphrasing), “You know what, we may have to pull out of there. We may not be able to shoot in Georgia.” This is audio sound bite number 24. This is Bob Iger on Wednesday on the Reuters website.
IGER: If it becomes law, it will be very difficult to produce there. I rather doubt we will. I don’t think, one, I think many people who work for us will not want to work there. And we’ll have to heed their wishes in that regard. If it becomes law, I don’t see how it’s practical for us to continue to shoot there.
RUSH: Right. “We can’t shoot in a state that’s gonna protect children. We can’t do business in a state that’s going to finally take action to make sure children are not wantonly killed — and, in fact, we’re gonna take our production and we’re gonna go back to” where? Hollywood? Hollywood, where we have a paragon of virtue? Hollywood, which is apparently morally correct? “No, we can’t shoot where these scumbags are in Georgia passing all these restrictive abortion bills, protecting our audience.
“We can’t shoot in a state that’s gonna protect our audience. We can’t do that! We’ve gotta go back to a state that’s wiping our audience out because that’s what our employees are going to demand.” To think, at one time they were touting this guy as a potential Democrat candidate to go against Trump. This guy would be not that difficult to beat just on this decision alone. On the other hand, over here we got all these people who think Donald Trump’s the scumbag!
“Donald Trump’s the scumbag! People in Georgia are scumbags! People in Missouri are scumbag. We can’t do business in Georgia! We can’t do business in North Carolina. We can’t do business in Missouri. We can’t do business with these bigots!”
Disney: the most magickal place on earth for Planned Parenthood
Kids, watch my movies. Moms, you can kill your babies.
Is there an inherent contradiction in those two sentences?
Iger’s new name: Murder Mouse
Maybe he could build a new ride at DizzyLand: the Abort-o-Slide, where you get to experience being ripped apart by a vacuum cleaner and sucked through a tube on your way to oblivion
Should be interesting to explain to the kiddies
America’s Ministry of Culture has spoken
To Disney, an abortion center is, “The happiest place on Earth.”
Florida has to pass a similar law. Let’s see them pack up Disneyworld.
This person would be turning in his grave over the people who've run his company all of these years. And also remember that he was demonized long ago by the left for his anti-communist efforts, as opposed to how Harvey Weinstein and others like him were treated until very recently.
we’re not scumbags...we’re deplorables, dagnabit!
Iger has no problem doing business with China that puts people in concentration camps and forces women to have abortions but won’t step foot in pro life Georgia. The company founded by Walt Disney has been seized and is now controlled by evil people.
IMHo, that doesn't mesh well with the company leadership looking out for the future value of the company.
Snow White has to be rolling in her grave
Targeting “Trump States” is the latest Soros/Podesta talking points.
The Mexican Farm Council Just said they will support tariffs targeting “Trump States”, as well.

Oh man, that's how we get rid of this parasite
Run that all over the Internet
Iger gone in a week
Walt would smile from eternity
You had better allow children to be killed in your state or we won’t make shows for children there. That makes perfect sense when you put it that way.
Honestly, at this point, even Michael Eisner is preferable to this jerk. As bad as Eisner was, at least he was smart enough to not try and do this kind of crap (even with Gay Days), put profits over politics, in other words, and more importantly, at least Eisner actually RESPECTED the way Walt Disney ran things. And he got fired by the Board of Directors for far less by comparison.
When the heck are the Board of Directors as well as Shareholders going to move in and fire his sorry butt?! Sometimes I wish Iger actually RAN for president just so he wouldn’t run Disney to the ground anymore.
Disney CEO wants to start Civil War II
Sheesh, probably the only real good Iger has actually done for Disney is bringing back Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, and even there he stuck him in a fridge.
The board of directors had better do something to stop Iger from this insanity, especially when his protesting the heartbeat bill will end up costing him a LOT of customers, short term AND long term.
