• 0:06
  Speaker 1: of the final show in the month of March. It
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: is show fifty five seventy two of The Morning Show
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: with Preston Scott, and I, just as fate would have it,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: happened to have the name Preston Scott. I was holding
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: up a sign by the road. It said, we'll do
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: radio for food, and Lee Bowen said, Hey, I've got
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: a show called The Morning Show with Preston Scott. By
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: any chance, I said, you're kidding me, that's my name.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: The rest is history. We're joined by the entertainment editor
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Bridebard dot com. He is the author of the Fifty
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Things books. He is Jerome Hudson.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Hello, good morning, How you morning?
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: I'm good. In all the years of knowing you, I
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: did not know the origin story. It said show, but.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: It's crazy, huh and something new every day. Okay, I
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: completely made that up, but it's still is. It's a
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: fun story to share.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I I I as much as I try to tactically
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: plan out my life without fail. Almost every time I
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: thought we were doing this on Thursday morning and so I.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Oops, yeah, no, I'm glad you were available because you're
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: a busy man.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've done so much radio. It's it's a blessing.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: And uh I give, I give, They give you about
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: seventeen percent of the credit.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, I'm up from sixteen percent from last time.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: If if anyone wants a highly caffeinated version of me
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: for three hours minus commercials all week, I'll be filling
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: in for Andrew will Coow on Serious XM Patriot one
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: from noon to three.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, So so I'm prepping for you. We're doing prep
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: for your show today.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: A portion of this conversation may be referenced later today.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Yes, Yes, that's awesome. That's as close to real nationwide,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: worldwide broadcast as I'll ever get.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: You're awesome, and your audience is awesome. Although I've never
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: heard from any of them, they're pretty hypothetical. Actually, think about.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: It, Hey, tell me this, how refreshed should we be?
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: That there's a movie like Project Hail Mary that seemingly
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: is a family movie with no wokeism, no virtue signaling,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: no profanity, that even sort of kind of has this
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Christian analogous sort of messaging of a darkening world and
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: one guy sent to fix it and bring hope.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Such a great question, and I was just talking to Actually,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I don't think I ever really say that to anyone,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: and I'm always struck when the interviewer says it's to
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: me or interviewing, I don't know. Anyway, I was just
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: having this conversation with James Paterson, who's been a columnist
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: and an author for years. I think I think he
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: worked in some past presidential administrations about this because it's evidence.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: It's a data point. People want heroes, and so many
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: of the projects coming out of Hollywood lacked that. As
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: you alluded to, there's Wolke stuff everywhere. It's hard to
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: get away from it. And the success of the film,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: it's just evidence that people want to root for heroes.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: They don't really want the distractions, the left wing social
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: sucker punches. You know, the Snoop Dogg made news about
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: a year ago. He took his grandson see a Disney
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: movie and there were like two moms in the movie,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: and he was it was a sucker punch. He didn't
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: see it coming. He had to have the conversation with
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: his grandson in the theater anyway, and so yeah, no,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: I went to see the movie. I carved out some
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: spare time because it's an interesting story. Phil Lord and
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Chris Miller, the directors, haven't directed a movie Preston in
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: twelve years. That last project happened to be the solo
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: the Star Wars Origin story, which flopped. They were fired
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: from the project, probably because Disney wanted to shove some
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: woke stuff into the movie. Ron Howard. Ron Howard actually
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: came on and ish directing the film, but even he
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: couldn't save that movie. And and and so we see
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: this often. A lot of the stuff that Taylor Sheridan
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: does prepare amount. People are familiar with the Yellowstone Universe.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's you know, some of it is edgy,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: but it's it's it's oftentimes like pro military, pro family.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: You know, to see Billy Bob Thornton just try his
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: darnedest to to be a great father with all the
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: social stuff swhirling around his oil business and everything else.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just and and and the ratings just
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: couldn't be higher. I think Taylor Sheridan signed a billion
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: dollar deal with NBC Universal.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: He's the entertainment editor for Breitbart dot Com, and more
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: important than any of that, he's a friend of Jesus,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and he's a friend of ours. He is Jerome Hudson. Jerome.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: What should we make, if anything, of Peter Doctor, who's
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the chief creative officer at Pixar. You know, he's made
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: statements to the effect that, you know, we're not in
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the business of providing millions of dollars of therapy. We're
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: going to start making our films a little more family friendly.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Is there is there's Is there a sign that lessons
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: are being learned? Jerome?
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Hello? Am I not there? Am? I am? I there?
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: You are there?
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: You are?
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: You're back? Did you put yourself on mute?
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: No? I think what about now? Yeah? I can hear
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: you find now it's interesting. I don't know. I have
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: I have some Bluetooth devices that that sometimes try to
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: steal the audio. Uh huh.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: You're into that technology stuff. And you were talking through
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: another device, weren't you? You were you were seeing another device,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: weren't you.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have I have another radio show here in
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: twenty minutes, but that won't interfere. I'm busted. I'm busted. No, No,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: this is it's an interesting I think I think there's
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: there's evidence that there are executives who have realized, after
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: you know, paying through the nose and losses okay over
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: the years, that they have to do better or they're
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: going to lose their livelihoods. I think that's the way
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: to frame it. I'm going to read to you something
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: from a Wall Street Journal report just out yesterday. Quote,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: the nightmare scenario is playing out in Los Angeles, where
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: a centurial entertainment economy is evaporating with no signs of
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: turnaround on the horizon. Many worry Hollywood will soon resemble
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Detroit after the decline of the auto industry. I think
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: you and I have had this conversation, and I've made
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: the point quite a few times that, you know, the
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: sort of wocification that we saw happened at Disney over
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: the last decade and then kicked in the hyperdrive over
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: the last half decade, Disney can essentially survive, you know,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: trying to sexualize children in TV shows and in movies
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: and actually hiring men dressed as women at some of
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: their theme parks, and then going to war right with
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: a conservative governor in a right leaning state to hyper
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: sexualize and racialized school age children. It hurt Disney. It
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: certainly did. They were among the first companies to come
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: out against Georgia's Heartbeat build in twenty eighteen. It has
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: hurt their bottom lape, so they can survive that smaller
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: studios cannot. And this has had downstream effects on the
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: industry as a whole. Pixar specifically has pumped out every
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: third Pixar movie had woke Chivallevs shoved into it, you know,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: first animated movie with the lead lesbian character, and they
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: thought this stuff was a badge of honor. What it
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: really was was an entertainment studio putting itself in between
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: parents and children.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Welcome back, the final segment here with Jerome Hudson of
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Breitbart dot com, author of Fifty Things They Don't Want
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: You to Know and fifty Things they Don't want you
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: to Know about Trump. We're going to do a lightning round,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: which means I'm going to try to fit in two
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: topics in this segment. Topic one, the Chicago Bulls have
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: wavedguard Jaden Ivy for conduct detrimental to the team. Short
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: version jerme is that he had the temerity to post
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: some things questioning why the NBA was aligning itself with
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: gay Pride Month and suggesting that the whole LGBTQ thing
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: is unrighteous and that they're wrong for doing so, and
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: that's conduct detrimental to a team.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: At this point, Yeah, did you made the point offline
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: that had Jade and Ivy taken the opposite tack and
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: praised the NBA the association war hosting and promoting Pride
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Pride Night, that he would not only be celebrated by
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: the NBA, but in society and social media as well.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: But the interesting thing that I've seen already is sports stars.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: The starting the starting running back from the Patriots who
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: were just in the Super Bowl, for example, is showing
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: support publicly on his social media. And I have to
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: imagine that there are other sports stars doing the same thing.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: We happen to know that there are very devout Christian
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: stars on teams, Jonathan Isaac of the Orlando Magic being
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: one of them. Absolutely, the coaches, the staff, the training staff,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: the executives, the owners of some of these teams. I mean,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: what the bulls are doing here is dangerous, I dare say,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: because it has the ripple effects of this, it could
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: be incredibly detrimental to the sport. And they do love
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: the bottom line, and they could end up peeing off
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: a bunch of their own audience.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Here another topic I wanted to get you to weigh
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: in on, and quite candidly, I think that your thoughts
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: on this are more weighty than mine because you happen
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: to be black. There is a black comedian, drewdis Bordis.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: He goes by the name Drewski and he decided to
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: put some prosthetics on and white face, and he did
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: a complete and total mocking of Erica Kirk, which many
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: find distasteful at best, but just the idea that if
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: this were reversed, it would be condemned, but it's not.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: It's celebrated, And I'm curious about the hypocrisy of it all.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. If I had, if I had
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: to break down the pie of, you know, a celebration
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: and adoration versus people condemning it, I think it'd be
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: fifty to fifty, okay, which was I would kind of
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: take as a win to be re franked with you
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: stated the society.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Is it Jerome? Is it being condemned because he put
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: on whiteface, which, if it's reversed, is suddenly taboo. I
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: think if it's bad for one, it's bad for the other.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: If it's fair game and humor for one, it's fair
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: game and humor for the other. My issue is the
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: hypocrisy of it. Is it condemned for the white face
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: or is it condemned because it's tacky in attacking Erica
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Kirk whose husband was assassinated.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: I think that is if there was a comedian on
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: drew Ski's level and dare I say above Drewski's level
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: that did this in reverse. I just don't think that
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: the backlash I mean, WoT culture and cancel culture in
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: that sense has just been incredibly diminished. Okay, there are
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: people who make the who make the argument, and I
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: just can a side with it for the most part
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: that once you start to tell a comedian that they
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: that they can't quote unquote make jokes about this subject
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: for that subject, you know, comedians are just always seen
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: in the face of a free speech right. I think
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: it's this distasteful to say the leaf to mock a
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: grieving widow six months after the world saw her husband
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: being murdered in gruesome fashion. I I'm not particularly a
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: huge fan of Drew Sky, and just to make make
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: it clear, like I thought that his his lasket about
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Megachurch exters actually was funny and it actually hit a nerve.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: But but but I see your point about the hypocrisy.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: I just I just I felt gross watching it initially
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: and then reporting on it. There are people who used
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: to work for Turning Point USA who are all on
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: the staff at Fright Park, and so for them, obviously
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: it's it was incredibly infuriating. Sure, but but again, I
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: just I just felt gross. I just thought, look, dude,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: there's like a thousand of the like, you can't make
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: enough Kamalak or Joe Biden jokes or skits at this point,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: right or Tim Walls a human sized tampon with legs
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: and he but he chose Eric Kirk. She's already being
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: maligned horrifically by people like Candas Ollans and others.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: You know, Kay, I appreciate your time as always, my friend,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: and enjoy your week of playing on the radio.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, thank you, it's it's a fun life. And congratulations
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: to you for all the many years dutifully. I hope
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: the audience appreciates you. Well.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: We just celebrated our twenty fourth birthday anniversary. Would be
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: maybe a better way of putting it a couple of
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: weeks ago. So we're now in year twenty five.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Goodness, how about that you made a statue. You need
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: to stuss. They're talking about putting a statue of Mitch
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: McConnell out there.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I plan on doing this until I get dipped in
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: formaldehyde and become a statue. God, bless you, brother, Thank you,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: love you pal.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Bye Ruby. All right.
