Episode Transcript

(00:04):
Five minutes past the hour. It'sthe third hour, turning the page on
the rundown. Here the Morning Showwith Preston Scott Him Preston, He's Grant
and this, my friends, isJerome Hudson. He is the entertainment editor
with Breitbart dot Com, author ofthe Fifty Things books. Hello, my
dear friend, how are you.Oh? I'm just doing great. Can
you hear me through my mask?Oh? Please? I try to listen

(00:31):
as much as possible. Do youagree? Do you agree? Well,
I just want to say you haveme rolling in the public's parking lot.
It was one of those situations whereI was laughing, but I have my
headphones in, so I didn't knowhow loud I was laughing, and I
caught a couple of people looking atme. You know, I do well.
I will just say, I mean, there are some people who,

(00:54):
you know, need to wear amask, but that number is so infintestinal.
But I immediately so sorry for peoplewhen I see them wearing mask,
like, oh gosh, let melet me test that. Let me test
what you just said, Let metest what you just said. You say
there should be people that that shouldbe wearing masks. How many people out

(01:19):
of one hundred out of the holdon, wait wait wait, wait wait,
how many people out of a thousanddid you notice wearing a mask before
COVID? Oh? Sure? Likeokay, So I will say there is
one guy at the Why when Iwent to the Why here in Jacksonville,
Florida. Other than that, buthe he was carrying around an oxygen case,

(01:44):
exactly exactly. And those people,absolutely they get a pass because they
had a condition prior to COVID.But I am I am beyunconvinced that the
the the ninety nine point nine percentof the people that are wearing masks.
Now, A they've outed themselves they'reliberal Democrats, and B they've just they've

(02:05):
fallen into the delusion. You know, I have this, you know,
I have this thing in me whereI don't I typically try not to judge
people just based on their physical appearance. I'm not judging them, and gosh,
you know, I'm labeling them.I would like to think that they're
all died in the wood rocked conservatives, but I wouldn't know it because I

(02:29):
probably wouldn't be able to understand themenunciate through the mass telp me no,
nope, nope, nope. Hey, so tell me what what would you
say is the story in the lastmonth on the entertainment page that should be

(02:50):
on people's radar every fifth visit.You asked me this story, and it's
I do not you know, outsideof like the Back to the Few,
which is really like a trilogy.It's hard for me to pick one thing.
But gosh, you fortunately, Ican't even do it right because I
want to say Diddy because it's it'sa hot story and it leeds into so

(03:16):
many narratives. But I will sayjust the business of Hollywood. Hollywood has
as I've said before, it hasa brand issue. You know, many
of the most famous and most belovedstars, as you put it, out
at themselves as being very nasty andmean people, and that I guess that's

(03:42):
okay, But when it came topolitics, they really preached down to over
half of the country in a vileand vicious way and just berated the very
people that made them rich. Also, you know, they the Hollywood,
the entertainment industry sort of cultivated toa culture of rape and sexual abuse for

(04:04):
a long time. But it's brands, it's biggest brands have brand issues,
right like I've said before Disney isthe equivalent of a pantless man sitting in
an ice cream truck across the streetfrom a playground, like that's it's not
good. And NBC Universal and sothese studios teaming up to form these mega

(04:32):
streaming services because I think, Ijust think that the content. If the
content's good, people will watch it. And I think people will step aside,
you know, whatever political feelings thatthey have about the actor that they're
watching in this series of that movie. But the world is changing around the

(04:56):
business of Hollywood, and one thingthat's very clear is that streaming is losing
these the parent company a lot ofmoney, I think, but four billion
dollars is what Disney lost. Disney'snot really making money off of its news
division, ABC because they put peoplelike Jimmy Kimmel, you know, going

(05:17):
back to the toxic uh face theABC News division. I mean, it's
you know, it is what itis. Uh And you know, ESPN
has just been going through a decadeof her molt yep and and so and
and Disney plus they launched this thingbecause why not everybody else has a streamer

(05:39):
and it's lost four billion dollars andit doesn't really stand to make a profit.
So now Disney is teamed up withwith with Max, which is Warner
Brothers Discovery. Hang on a second, hang on, we got to break
eleven past the hour. Jerome Hudsonwith me on the Morning Show with Preston
Scott, twelve past the hour.Shorten this segment, just a bit catch

(06:00):
back up? Joining us is JeromeHudson Drome. Let's tie these together.
You're just talking about the slide thatthe entertainment industry is on, but the
lead story being Sean Diddy Combs andhis latest problems and now the spotlight back
on an incident in twenty sixteen.How do we tie these two together?

(06:24):
It would seem that the culture thatgave birth to Sean Combs isn't dead.
Hello, good lord, hit themute, didn't forget it? Sorry,
Yeah, you're exactly right, boy. I'm going to do some editing there.

(06:45):
The entertainment industry just has a brandissue, and the brand is very
toxic. And you know, Imentioned the studios teaming up sort of one
Big three and another Big three,right, because because that is that is
evident people fewer people are going tothe movies. You know, people,

(07:08):
when people you give people choices andthey don't have to pay their money to
the affirmative action that is a cablesubscription or satellite subscription, and they can
pick and choose which streamers they want. Then you know, if if they
don't want their children watching Disney Plus, then they'll go to Netflix for whatever
reason, or they'll go to Huluapp Apple TV. And so these the

(07:30):
studios realize that their their ships aresinking, and so they're just merging to
make big ships. Uh but butbut that won't solve the problem as long
as they're creating content that people areturned off by, that are offended by.
People won't won't spend what feels likefewer and fewer dollars to give to

(07:51):
studios whose news divisions lie to themand lie about their neighbors and lie about
their way of life. Well tellme that. But I want to say,
we've been in this spiral because ofwhat we do in the Hollywood Page
specifically, but writ large at BrightPart News, we just we just we
don't lie to our audience. Wedon't shortcut or short shift our audience.

(08:16):
We tell you the truth. Werenot perfect, and we get things wrong.
But that is very much not whatyour politicians do. It's not what
Hollywood executives do, it's not whatmusic executives do, and it's certainly not
what what Sean Diddy Combs did.Notwithstanding all the good things that Sean Combs
has done, he's changed lives forprobably countless people. He's he's got I

(08:37):
think three charter schools in Brooklyn,fighting liberal Democrats to do that must have
been a battle onto itself. He'smade millionaires, he started businesses. But
this guy has had a dark sidefor three decades. It was an open
secret, just like it was withpick your favorite Hollywood executive rapist who was

(08:58):
given Osters an Emmy, but wasa predator and an abuser for a very
long time. And just because wesee a two minute video of Sean Combs
beating the HG double hockey sticks outof a woman who was trying to flee
is very abuse. It It isonly the tip of the iceberg, and

(09:24):
it's emblematic of a very very toxicindustry filled with very good people, but
certainly a lot of bad apples atthe top. Yeah, all the good
Sean Combs has done for people isnot going to make the bad that his
criminal go away. WUSLA on yourphone with the iHeart radio app and on

(09:46):
hundreds of devices like Alexa, GoogleHome, Xbox, and Sonos, says,
and Iheart's radio station. Well,we might have had some climate protesters
glue themselves to our runway this morningand tried to throw us off schedule,
but we're back on schedule. Theyjust speed bumps back with Jerome Hudson Brightbart

(10:07):
dot com entertainment editor. Good morning, sir. Let's talk about that big
picture. Now back to Hollywood.We talked a few weeks ago about Bob
Iger claiming that he was going topay more attention to, among other things,
the Marvel franchise, you know,not focus so much on quantity.
I agree with him, too manymovies, but quality. But he's missing

(10:28):
it. People don't support Marvel anymorebecause they hate the actors playing their heroes.
Yeah, and it's not to saythat Bob Biker isn't a smart man.
You don't come the CEO of thelargest media and travel and entertainment and

(10:50):
theme park conglomerates not once but twiceby being by being a silly, stupid
man. Right, Bob Viker's egois the size of jupid. He he
made more than one attempt pressed thanBob Biger did to be the ambassador to
China. And I just hold,I guess, a special regard for individuals

(11:16):
who want to tie themselves to whatI truly believe to be the closest thing
to a Nazi regime that we've seensince the Third Reich. And whether that's
you know, I may upset somepeople listening Elon Musk. I mean,
starting and tying your electric vehicle companyto a regime that is fomenting slave labor

(11:43):
all over the country is anti Christian. It's just evil what the people who
run the government of China are doingin Beijing. And that's what Bob Bayger's
showed to me. Once I realizedthat, oh, this man is craven
and and just you know, expedientfor expedient's sake, which which doesn't make

(12:07):
him unique right to very powerful individualsand business or politics or whatever. But
when he when he outed himself andand just praised China, I get it.
It's that market is very important toDisney, but he just went way
too far. Well it it is, I mean, it is like it's

(12:31):
I mean no, really, no, no, no, hold on,
hold on, they can't buy theirown goods over there. Who cares?
I mean, they can't buy eightypercent of their own goods. We do,
they can't, So why do theycare? But they but they have
the theme parks and those people.The theater and moviegoing market in Asia,

(12:54):
specifically mainland China has just been afor fifty years, and it's been the
one or one A or one Bpriority for studios to koutout to China to
get their movies past the Chinese censors. And that's a decision that Disney made

(13:16):
thirty years ago if Bob Iger wasall on board with it. And so
you know, no, Bob Bikerdoesn't care that. You know. Captain
America is a decent actor on screen, But Spew's the most hateful things used
to anyway before he sort of realizedthat his own brand was being hurt.

(13:41):
Mark Ruffalo is just I actually thinkMark Ruffalo is not a smart man.
I mean, if you look,if you google Mark Ruffalo Breitbart, and
you may have to search because Googleis evil and they hide Breitbart links as
much as they possibly can. Butif you just look at our coverage of
Mark Ruffalo. I don't, Idon't. I don't want to, you

(14:03):
know, taint the logic stream here, but it's hard not to get a
sense that he's just not intelligent andand but no, I mean, that's
that's that's Hollywood. I think dutyyou Gamma raised that it might be worse.
But but our friend Patrick Karachi hasa great podcast. He when the

(14:31):
movie about the the Atlanta Olympics bombing, uh, directed by Clinty's Wood.
I don't know why, I can'tremember the name, but Patrick Carrolci went
through the entire cast president of thatfilm. They were all America hating people,
and I mean just like they theyhate everybody listening to this show,
no matter what your politics are.And he deleted the tweet because because Warner

(14:58):
Brothers just panicked and it was atremendous takedown of how a great patriot like
Clint Eastwood wants to make an amazingmovie that tells an incredible story, but
Hollywood's best known, most sought afteractors, I mean, they're they're just
ugly people when it comes to politicsanyway, and their willingness to just crap

(15:22):
all over the very people who madethem rich. You know we continue to
pray for these lost souls. Iguess that's it, all right, Here's
what I'm gonna do. I'm gonnatee you up for next month right now,
you ready? Next month, I'mgoing to ask you to I'm going
to ask you to answer, WillJoe Biden be the nominee after the Democrat

(15:43):
National Convention? Okay? Oh man, kid, he not be because that
would be so fun. But youknow that's what I'm We're going to talk about that
