The Walt Disney Co.\u2019s top executive chose to be Joe Rogan, not Dave Chappelle, and it\u2019s safe to say he chose poorly. Rogan bowed to the woke mob and the result was more calls for his head. Chappelle refused to apologize and the result was four new Netflix comedy specials.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>In politics as in business, weakness invites aggression, while strength is the best guarantee for peace and prosperity.<\/p>\n<p>Chapek\u2019s surrender concerning Florida\u2019s Parental Rights in Education bill has predictably worsened his own predicament. On one side, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) slammed Disney for its performative wokeness, noting the irony of a company that caters to families taking a position against a bill that is designed to protect young children from sexual and gender ideology.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_20236214\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.breitbart.com\/media\/2022\/03\/AP20056764074471-2.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Bob Chapek speaks during a ceremony at the Hong Kong Disneyland, as he celebrates the Hong Kong Disneyland\u2019s 10th anniversary.

I am sorry,\u201d Chapek said in a groveling memo to Disney staffers.<\/p>\n<p>Similar tactics were used against Spotify to pressure the audio streaming company to cut ties with Joe Rogan, and Netflix during the Dave Chappelle transgender controversy.<\/p>\n<p>Spotify and Rogan took a knee before the cancel mob, which only invited more attacks. Netflix stood by Chappelle, who has repeatedly refused to apologize the LGBTQ mob for his transgender jokes. Last month, Netflix announced\u00a0four new comedy specials executive produced and hosted by Chappelle \u2014 an uncommon show of Hollywood resistance against the rising woke tide.<\/p>\n<p>Disney\u2019s Bob Chapek could have saved himself a lot of time and headache by simply quoting Dave Chappelle\u2019s response to the trans mob: \u201cI said what I said.\u201d End of discussion.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Follow David <\/em><em>Ng on Twitter\u00a0<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HeyItsDavidNg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@HeyItsDavidNg<\/a>.
