Speaker 1 (00:04):
Five passed the hour, third hour already we were just
talking about how quickly today just has felt. But the
news cycle is just endless, and as a result, there's
so many things to discuss. And that's when I get
the opportunity to have this gentleman with us, I jump
(00:26):
at it. He is a friend, I love him as
a brother. He is a former intern on this radio program.
And then he transcended all of that, and he overcame
the obvious handicap of being part of this show for
(00:47):
a period of time to become a author of the
fifty Things books and now the entertainment editor and has
been for how many years have you been the entertainment
editor at Breitbart dot com Jerome Hudson, seventeen.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I believe.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Come on, yeah, come on.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
The Harvey Weinstein's story sort of broke the me to
wave and showed improved I cut my teeth, as you said,
in the right place at the right time.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Well or not, you learn what not to do, how
not to talk, how not to report, how not to
do any number of things. I mean there there there
could be an argument made for a special T shirt
that says I survived TMS W slash.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Ps no, no, no, no. Anytime I'm behind a lectern, I
usually I usually do a name drop to what might
seem to the audience it's just, you know, a random person.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
But I let you stop it, stop it. Tell me more,
tell me more. Now, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Hey,
I want to get your unadulterated, unfiltered view of this
absurdity known as the Colbert Reaction.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Yeah, it's it's about what you might expect preston from
a media and entertainment media landscape that is just almost
completely devoid of independent or critical thought. I think if you,
if you wanted to just look at the sheer finances
(02:37):
of putting on The Colbert Show at one hundred million
dollars a year with a staff of two hundred people,
and you're losing forty million dollars a year if you're
CBS and if your paramount forget the Skydance merger. That's
a lot of money to be losing on a show
(02:58):
that is the number one rated show, but it's still
pulling in less than one percent of the American TV viewer.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Can I ask you, Jerome, Jerome, this is your world?
You know? Yeah? You have a lot of knowledge on
a lot of other topics outside of entertainment, but this
has been your focus for your going on to a
decade soon. When when you say he's number one in
his time slot, but he's losing forty to fifty million
(03:27):
a year, how does that reconcile? Is that on the
sales department at CBS?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Why is that? How does that math add up?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Well? If Stephen Colbert was not an appendage of the
Democratic National Committee five nights a week, he would have
a larger audience. I can't really say it better than
Jay Lino did over the weekend when he says the
political partisan lectures at Stephen Colbert he does in his monologues.
(04:01):
But on the night that he announced Preston that CBS
was canceling his show, and ten months he had Adam Shipp,
the Senator from California on as his guests. I mean,
there there are there are a few people in elected
office in this country who are more deviant and underserving
(04:25):
of of the of the office of the United States Senator.
But it's California, right, I mean, the guy is just
a bludget for the worst kind of politics. And that's
and that's Stephen Colbert's guest. And I mean it just
it just it just shows you. It just tells you
everything you need to know about the show.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Back with Jerome Hudson, the books Fifty Things they don't
want you to know, the follow up fifty Things they
don't want you to know about Trump. Entertainment editor at
Breitbart dot Com. As I so rudely interrupted, you.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Were saying so the Stephen Colbert's Late night show. His
bad business has been bad for business for the better
part of a decade. Just losing forty million dollars a year.
You can't justify that. And the product is bad. And
I know this not because you know I have my biases,
(05:29):
but because again, the numbers don't lie. In the weeks
before Colbert's show was announced that it was going to
be canceled, he was averaging about one point nine million
viewers at night. He got half a million viewership bump
Preston just because of all the fanfare and drama around
the shows, bringing his total average viewer up to about
(05:54):
two point four million. That still last and Greg Guttfel show.
In this same time frame, Greg Gutfel was getting three
point one million viewers in the same week that that
Stephen Colbert was riding the half of a billion viewership bump.
And again, Fox News is available in tens of millions
(06:16):
of few homes than CBS. And you know, it's the
same people, right, who are ostensibly the same audience staying
up around the same time to watch, you know, the
same kind of show, but it's a very different product.
And so you're losing tens of millions of dollars if
you're Stephen Colbert, and it's a very part of some show.
(06:37):
So you're not going to get any favors, you know,
even even if you wanted to make the free speech argument.
I mean, CBS runs over public airwaves and it is
again just a reliably nightly, forty four minute propaganda outfit
for you know, the Democratic Party. Basically, it just there's
(06:59):
just no other way of looking at that. I mean,
just look at the guest list every week for Stephen Colbert.
And so you know, this is how you might expect
the left to react. Once again, they're losing you know,
a foot soldier, right if you look at the left,
they've had just an asymmetrical advantage over the right. Of course,
(07:24):
you know this but we probably don't talk about it enough,
whether it's in the media or academia, in education K
through twelve, it is a left leaning slant. And if
the election of Donald Trump last November has done anything
it has weakened president the left and just about every aspect.
(07:48):
You look at universities, you look at the cash on
hand for the DNC versus c RNC, you look at
the polls, I mean everywhere you look. The left and
the Democratic Party, they're crumbling. And Colbert being canceled was
just another seismic shift. It's beautiful. I think that blessed America.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
What does CBS do to fill the time slot? Do
they stay with the late night show formatic and try
to find somebody that's not going to be so insulting
to both to the other side or what.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
No one knows the answer to that question because CBS
did not answer it, and they answered it in so
far as to say Preston that they will actually cancel
the late night franchise. And you know, I'm looking at
a story I need to edit and publish from David Letterman.
I think it's his third time in a week Preston
(08:47):
coming out publicly trashing CBS trashing paramount for canceling Colbert,
and it is sort of one of those stunning situations.
I mean, this is, this is business at the at
the highest Edgelon's and to just cancel not only Colbert,
but the entire franchise and then not sort of lay
(09:09):
out at least to your investors or you know, potential
viewers who have grown up with that franchise, it really
is stunning. They just knew that they had to cancel
it and that was more important than rolling out some
sort of half baked idea to fill it with. But
(09:30):
I do think, I mean, Byron Allen is a media mogul,
He is a comedian in his own right, and so
I think that there will be some sort of variety, comedic,
sort of far less partisan show to fill that slot.
But that's all rumors.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
So twenty one past Jerome Hudson, Breitbart Dot entertainment editor,
author of the Fifty Things books. I told him lightning round,
will there be a third Fifty Things book? Yes or no?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yes, there will be.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yes or no it will happen in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
No no, no.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
No sooner or later?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
A little bit later, Okay, a little bit later.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Okay, all right, Next, is Superman worth going to see?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Why?
Speaker 2 (10:39):
But it's not worth going to see twice because it
is well not at these prices, right, I mean maybe
if you asked me at Multiplex nineteen ninety six ticket prices. Okay,
it's a good movie, not a great movie. And James
Gunn has made great superhero movies. This one is not that.
(11:02):
But it is work on see once.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Is it worth seeing because of how unwoke it is?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
The subtext and quite literally the context politically, the messaging
is just really clear and you know, if you if
you go in, it's nothing that you haven't seen before. Right,
there are there are countries with political leaders that you
can you can sort of see real, real life, real
time analogs. And I just don't think that most viewers
(11:35):
are like you or I walking into the theater in
that mindset, and so you don't really get a lot
of wokeness. And despite the just absolute, you know, mildpractice
of the way that James Gunn and his brother Sean
Gunn promoted the movie on the Red Carpet, saying that
if you if you don't like the immigrant story and so,
(12:00):
and you're not American and essentially don't go see our movie,
you know again, just mind bogglingly dumb to promote the
movie that way. The story of Superman is truly American,
has been for one hundred years, means a refugee from
a dying planet. His parents ostensibly were good people and
(12:22):
wanted good for their son. He just was blessed to land,
you know, in a farm in the middle of American
was raised by the salt of the earth, human beings.
There's something beautiful about that.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
I told jose and I talked about the subject of
superheroes back a couple of weeks ago, and what always
stood out to me about Superman is he's the only
superhero that the inside, who he is undercover is the
true superhero. It's who he is. Everybody else wears it
on the outside.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Yeah, I will say I love because you can't really,
or at least it's hard for me to sort of
bifurcate the story of Superman from the story of Christ
because even in James Gunn's movie, there is something that
is just manifests in his character and that he will
die for this world, right, and you could just see
(13:23):
it like he doesn't even want to kill you know,
but he will. He will take it there if it
means saving innocence. I know this is lightning around and
you're at the helm. But since we're on the subject
of superhero movies, I did go see Fantastic four First
Steps and the way that this movie frames life and
(13:45):
the life of the unborn. Sue Storm is not pregnant
when we meet her, but her and her husband, mister
Fantastic or trying to make a baby. They had been
trying to make a baby for two years, and the
movie opens with her getting the positive pregnancy test. You know,
the bad guy Galactus comes to Earth, wants to devour Earth,
(14:07):
but says, I won't if you give me your son,
and he just like looks into Sustorm's wound. I mean,
it's it's pretty incredible given the fact of just how
leftist Disney was, I mean Disney, Well, I.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Was gonna say, how did Pablo Pascal get through that
line without choking? Because he's a He's an an insufferable leftist.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Yeah, he's he's like flaunting his transgender brother turned sister
around to push transgender politics. He's certainly a favorite of
of the Rogue's gallery of characters at Breitbart News. But
I guess he's a He's an actor in the sense
that he really dove into the part where he is
defending life, defending the life of his unborn child, even
(14:54):
even at the cost of risking his entire world.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
He probably had to donate money to play in Parenthood
as a guild offering for playing the role.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I'm pretty sure his I a pree sure his salary
was at least five million dollars. But again, Disney was
one of the first companies to come out against George's
Heartbeat rule.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah, I know, well, yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
It's it's stunning in some ways. I don't even really
know what the end game is, what the larger agenda is,
or if there is one. But that movie was written, shot,
and produced to the tune of hundreds of millions of
dollars over the course of a few years, and so
the intentionality of this is there, what it means going forward,
(15:39):
I don't know, man, So.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
I love this job, okay. And then lastly, thirty second
answer I need from you is the is the Coldplay
kiss cam the halfway point to the year? Winner of
Story of the Year?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Oh? Absolutely, hands down. There is no second that comes close,
you know. And now that Wynneth Proutro Poutro, the ex
wife of Chris Martin, the Cole play lead singer, is
basically like the official spokesperson or astronomer. You know, it
(16:15):
feels scripted, but also, I mean there have been real
life consequences and oh yeah, I don't think people would
have blown up their lives just to push up the
stock price of the company.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
No kidding, Jerome. As always, thanks to the time, my brother,
I appreciate it. Be well, love you, thank you, Love
you too. Jerome Hudson with us this morning, twenty minutes
past the hour. Time to time, he can catch Jerome
hosting on I think it's Patriot Radio on Serious Exam.
(16:46):
That's where he shows what he didn't learn from me.
And he's actually a really good talk show host. Back
with the Big Stories.
Five passed the hour, third hour already we were just
talking about how quickly today just has felt. But the
news cycle is just endless, and as a result, there's
so many things to discuss. And that's when I get

could be an argument made for a special T shirt
that says I survived TMS W slash.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Ps no, no, no, no. Anytime I'm behind a lectern, I
usually I usually do a name drop to what might
