Disney Employees Busted in Child Trafficking Sting Days After Opposing Florida Anti-Grooming Law

Drew Hernandez exposes how four Disney employees were arrested in a massive child trafficking sting operation in Polk County, Florida, just days after Disney's CEO publicly opposed Florida's Parental Rights in Education bill. Sheriff Grady Judd revealed that 108 people were arrested in Operation Sadness 2, including a Disney lifeguard who allegedly sent explicit photos to someone he thought was 14 years old. Hernandez breaks down the connection between Disney's opposition to legislation protecting children from inappropriate sexualization and the company's employees being caught in predatory behavior. Plus, Andy Ngo joins to discuss targeted attacks on Asian Americans, and Isabel Brown hosts the couch discussing flight attendants becoming mask police, universities teaching critical race theory, and more.

Disney Employees Arrested in Child Trafficking Sting

The Post-Millennial reports that the sheriff of Polk County, Florida held a press conference on Wednesday announcing the culmination of a massive sting operation which led to 108 arrests being made, including four Disney employees. This announcement comes just days after March 9, when Disney CEO Bob Chapek loudly and publicly opposed Florida's new anti-grooming law, which according to polls is supported by over 60 percent of Americans.

The so-named Operation Sadness 2 was a multi-agency effort centered around Florida's Polk County, which lies just southwest of the Orlando urban area and is a highly populated tourist area. According to local news, people included among the 108 who have been arrested included a retired judge from Illinois, a few restaurant managers, and a man who works at Fun Spot, and several who work at Disney. People arrested were as young as 17 years old and as old as 67. Most of them are now facing charges of soliciting a prostitute, but further charges may be laid in certain cases.

Sheriff Grady Judd during his press conference particularly highlighted the case of 27-year-old Xavier Jackson of Florida, who was one of the people caught in the operation and just happens to be a lifeguard at the Polynesian Resort for Disney. The sheriff said, "You think there's a few children around there? That's right, I didn't stutter. He was a lifeguard at the Polynesian Resort and was bragging about that." Jackson is accused of sending explicit photos to someone he thought was only 14 years old.

Understanding Florida's Parental Rights in Education Bill

The new Florida bill makes it easier for authorities to act against grooming behavior in which children are inappropriately sexualized, including kindergarteners. It has been named the "Don't Say Gay" bill by its far left opposers, but also enjoys wide support from people on both sides of the political aisle. The bill is not about preventing people from saying the word "gay" - it's about protecting children from being sexualized and preventing teachers from having secret relationships with children without parents' knowledge.

The bill itself is designed to protect children from being sexually groomed. It's not about homosexuality, transgenderism, or lesbianism - it's about not sexualizing kindergarteners. Teachers should not have the ability to have secret relationships with children when it comes to their sexual identity or talking about sex, whether straight, gay, lesbian, or trans. The focus should be on protecting the sexuality and innocence of children from sexual predators.

Disney's Response and Corporate Hypocrisy

Disney officials have confirmed three of the four suspects mentioned by the sheriff work for the company. Along with Jackson, the sheriff also said 24-year-old Loxon Fidel works at Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe in Tomorrowland, and 45-year-old Ralph Lessie is employed by the company in their IT department. A Disney representative said all three of them have been placed on unpaid leave.

Disney CEO Bob Chapek stated, "I called Governor Ron DeSantis this morning to express our disappointment and concern that if legislation becomes law it could be used to unfairly target gay, lesbian, non-binary and transgender kids and families." He added that the governor heard their concerns and agreed to meet with him and LGBTQ+ members of their senior team in Florida.

The connection is important to understand because it's not about being gay - this is about sexualizing kids. Disney has employees involved in child sex trafficking rings. This is not the first one, but just another one that by coincidence got exposed days after Disney comes out and opposes a bill that's meant to protect children from being sexualized from pedophiles.

Andy Ngo Discusses Targeted Attacks on Asian Americans

Andy Ngo of The Post-Millennial joined to discuss the ongoing targeted attacks on Asian Americans. A man named Tammel Esco, a 42-year-old from Yonkers with an extensive and violent criminal record, has been arrested on attempted murder as a hate crime and other charges after being caught on camera beating a 67-year-old Asian woman last week.

According to police, officers responded to a 911 call around 6:15 PM on Friday from a witness who saw Esco punching the woman while on top of her. The victim was found by responding officers badly beaten and bloodied in her building with the attacker still outside. The victim passed by Esco, who lives in the same building, on her way home and he yelled a racial slur at her, which she ignored. After she went to unlock the second door to enter the lobby, the suspect punched her in the head from behind and knocked her to the floor. He then punched her in the head and face over 125 times and foot stomped her seven times before spitting on her. The victim remains hospitalized but is expected to survive after suffering facial bone fractures, brain bleeding, and multiple contusions and lacerations.

Ngo questioned how many more videos need to be seen of Asian American elders being brutally attacked before interest groups who say they represent them politically or in civil rights begin actually doing something. He noted that there is an ability for Asian Americans to mobilize around certain messaging or campaigns, as seen with the Atlanta massage parlor shootings a year ago. However, when videos show attacks where suspects are often not white, there tends to be silence from these groups and mainstream media.

Ngo stated, "My anger is not just the perpetrators who are carrying out these heinous acts but all those who say that they represent us either in government or through so-called civil rights groups. They get a lot of funding and they fundraise off of it and they don't really have much to say."

Flight Attendants Becoming Mask Police

The United States Senate passed a bill introduced by Senator Rand Paul on Tuesday, voting 57 to 40 to overturn the federal requirement that passengers on U.S. airplanes and other modes of public transportation wear masks. This vote came less than a week after the executive branch through TSA announced they would be extending the mandate from March 18th to April 18th - the third extension of the mandate since it was imposed in January 2021.

With the push for people to stand for their individual rights, flight attendants have dramatically transformed from being servants of the customer on the plane to now being the mask police. Many flights now feature flight attendants screaming at people over the PA system about mask requirements.

The discussion highlighted that these flight attendants have been empowered by the government to act as micro-tyrants, enforcing rules that the vast majority of Americans, including many leftists, now find ridiculous. One strategy discussed was simply walking through airports with confidence, as confidence inspires confidence. When confronted about masks, simply responding "no thank you" and continuing to walk often leaves the person stunned because they were expecting confrontation.

The question remains whether Nancy Pelosi will bring the bill to the House floor for a vote, especially with many Congress members in purple-leaning districts concerned about their re-election possibilities in the midterms.

Professor Watchlist: Teaching Division and Hatred

The Professor Watchlist segment highlighted two professors teaching dangerous ideologies to the next generation. Dr. Ekow Yankah, a professor of law at the Cardozo Law School at Yeshiva University in New York City, specializes in criminal law, criminal procedure, election law, and torts. He most recently served as a member of the New York Democratic Lawyers Council.

This professor recently wrote an article entitled "Can My Children Be Friends with White People?" in which he encourages his kids to shun any close friendships with white people. He wrote that friendship across racial lines asks black people to ignore their own safety and that you cannot trust white people, particularly those who voted for President Trump. He declared friendships between black Americans and white Americans as "impossible" due to what he describes as conditions of dominance and racial privilege.

The second professor featured was Dr. Randa Jarrar, an associate professor in the English department at Fresno State. On her personal Twitter account, she has castigated white people, praised terrorists, and has openly called for the destruction of Israel. One tweet calls to "free Palestine" by stating "from the river to the sea," a phrase originally popularized by terrorist groups like the Palestinian Liberation Organization that alludes to the destruction of Israel and genocide of the Jewish people.

This professor grew up in Egypt and Kuwait and has said that she used to attend after-school programs led by the Palestinian Liberation Organization to learn what she calls "resistance songs." She has gone on to berate white people all over her Twitter account as privileged and has called police "the largest white militia in this country" while advocating to abolish the police.

Justice System Inequality: Jussie Smollet Released After Six Days

Jussie Smollet was released by a panel of judges from the Cook County jail in Illinois pending an appeal of his conviction. He was granted release on bond after serving only six days of a 150-day sentence. It came down to a ruling with a two to one decision granting his release, and he posted a recognizance bond of $150,000.

The evidence against Smollett is overwhelming - he literally wrote a check to the Nigerians he hired, and the memo allegedly said "mugging supplies." Yet after just six days in jail, where he claimed he was only drinking cold ice water and stated he was not suicidal, he was released.

This case highlights the two-tier justice system in America. Those who align with certain political viewpoints receive preferential treatment, while those who don't face harsh consequences. As one panelist noted, if you were petitioning the government for a redress of grievances in January 2021, you could be stuck in solitary confinement without trial for years, but if you align with the correct political viewpoint, you can get out of jail after six days.

The situation raises concerns about the fundamental tenant of the American justice system - the right to a trial by a jury of your peers. In today's deeply tribalistic society, created by design by leaders who broke citizens into tribes and made them hate one another, it's questionable whether anyone can really get a fair trial anymore, especially when the media plays into it.
