Watters: The woke are facing a revolt

jordan understood something that most people today don't people need to get away from all the politics and division whether it's with sports comedy music or whatever the majority of us just want a diversion to turn off all the noise but when large companies start fighting the culture wars and ignoring the mission which is business people start looking for alternatives it's that simple and good leaders understand that they know it's not worth sinking into the woke muck just to make a handful of people happy no one's ever happy and no one ever respects people that cave today the streaming service netflix took a stand putting out a memo to its employees 11 000 of them saying they aren't going to take tiny little stands over every single piece of content they put out they're not going to cave to the left who complain about this comedian or this actor they're just gonna go about their business and if you're not happy with it well maybe you should find yourself a new job quote not everyone will like or agree with everything on our service while every title is different we approach them based on the same set of principles we program for a diversity of audiences and tastes and we let viewers decide what's appropriate for them versus having netflix sensor specific artists or voices if you'd find it hard to support our content netflix may not be the best place for you what an amazing idea letting the viewers decide thank you it's about time companies started treating us like adults this memo was a direct response to some whiny employees who just a few months ago were protesting and crying over the company airing a dave chappelle special all because he made some jokes they didn't like cancel people that are more powerful than me he canceled jk rowling my god j.k rowling wrote all the harry potter books by herself she sold so many books the bible worries about her and it canceled her because she said in an interview and this is not exactly what she said but effectually she said gender was a fact and then the trans community got mad they started calling her a turf i didn't even know what that was but i know that trans people make up words to win arguments some of these netflix employees were offended it's okay to laugh but you're sparking hate conversations the problem is that as trans people we have very limited rights all right we have a whole piece of content on netflix called disclosure that is you know for trans people by trans people that explains how comedy and content such as dave chappelle's is harmful you don't have a right in this country to not be offended if you don't want to work for a company find a new job these people were trying to twist the boss's arms into getting their way and they didn't care if the company ended up having a worse product or less revenue all they cared about was forcing their lack of sense of humor on the rest of us but netflix they couldn't care less they're telling their employees we're not picking sides you can go out and fight in the culture war if you want but if it keeps you from doing your job go work somewhere else if you don't want to watch dave chappelle watch something else you don't have to keep me from watching it it's smart corporate business we put it out there and then you can watch whatever remember when major league baseball wanted to make a political statement last year by moving their all-star game out of georgia all because of a fake news story about a voting bill well they ended up moving to colorado where voting laws are actually stricter but that didn't matter it was just for show and atlanta georgia lost out on millions in revenue and major league baseball lost out on the ratings recording their second worst rating number of all time when politics gets into america's favorite pastime it's way past time to turn the channel hey look at disney they stuck their neck out for kindergarten teachers to talk to six-year-olds about sex and transsexuals huge mistake not only is it inappropriate but it was a horrific business decision and now florida's stripping disney of all the special treatment they get in orlando netflix isn't making the same mistake and neither did spotify remember the mob went after spotify's most popular podcast guy joe rogan spotify got a whole lot of heat to fire their biggest revenue driver but the head of spotify stood his ground and told his employees he wasn't caving saying this while i strongly condemn what joe rogan has said and i agree with his decision to remove past episodes from our platform i realize some will want more and i want to make one point very clear i don't believe that silencing joe is the answer good leaders don't cave they pause they reflect and then they do what's best after careful consideration but these corporate leaders are stuck with a younger generation that just feels so entitled to getting their way if one thing goes wrong or if one thing makes the slightest person a bit uncomfortable they launch a corporate jihad joe rogan actually put it on his podcast this way this week watch a friend of mine who's an employer she employs people and she was saying that like some of her employees are saying i need a mental health day today she's like you're not sick get the to work what are you talking you want to get paid for this mental health day show the up you we're not talking about your your parents just died in a car accident no you're just you have a high level of anxiety today you know it's this roe versus way thing i i saw it in the news and i need a mental health day you show up at work show up at work and work harder you can get a mental health day if someone dies not if hillary loses the chinese who are trying to take over the world don't take mental health days because they use the wrong pronoun this is a competitive world americans can't afford to go soft here's elon musk on that i think there will be some very strong companies uh coming out of china um there's just a lot of super talented hard-working people in china that are um strongly believe in in manufacturing and and they will figure they'll they won't just be burning the midnight oil they'll be burning the three am oil so um they won't even leave the leave the factory type of thing whereas in america people are trying to avoid going to work at all we're in an economic war with the chinese this lazy corporate culture war is going to make us lose this economic war so we hope more companies follow in netflix's footsteps as calvin coolidge once said the business of america is business so let's all go to work stop complaining and then go home have a drink and watch jesse waters prime time hey sean hannity here hey click here to subscribe to fox news youtube page and catch
