• 0:27
  raising money for the WFLA scholarship at the DCC Foundation. Learn more on the
• 0:32
  blog page. And I would say humbly thank you very much from the bottom
• 0:37
  of my heart. That's Grant Allen over there yawning in studio one. Ay,
• 0:42
  I'm here in studio. He's a new dad. That's what happens.
• 0:46
  I'm here in Studio one B. And I am joined on the phone by
• 0:52
  Jerome Hudson, Ladies and gentlemen. He is the entertainment editor with Breitbard dot
• 0:56
  com, author of the Fifty Things books, and more important than any of
• 1:00
  that, my friend. Yes, But am I on the list of people
• 1:07
  who you would have fill in for you when you are not in the captain's
• 1:14
  chair? Well, if if I heard allowed such things, you would certainly
• 1:18
  be on that list. But but but corporate, but they don't. Well,
• 1:26
  gee, thanks Jerome. No, No, that's fine, it's fine.
• 1:33
  That is a good passing of the buck. I don't doubt it.
• 1:37
  Well, are you gonna let me write a guest column for Bright bart absolutely.
• 1:42
  Oh really, I mean, you know, look, look there's a
• 1:46
  there's an editor who oversees that sort of Okay, yeah, it happens to
• 1:52
  not be me, but I'll put a great word in for you. Thank
• 1:56
  you very much, sir, Thank you very much. I appreciate that.
• 1:59
  Hey T tell me between Disney dropping what about one hundred million in losses on
• 2:04
  the new Indiana Jones movie and the star of their new live action snow White
• 2:12
  being a pr nightmare, Rachel Zegler, what what is it going to take
• 2:17
  before shareholders say enough? Oh that's such a good question. Thank you.
• 2:25
  You've had, you've had. You sort of had that a little bit before
• 2:34
  the release of the first quarter report back in mid March, but Bob Iger
• 2:44
  fired a couple more executives who were supportive of those large shareholders, and this
• 2:52
  story just sort of went away. Yeah. The stock is hovering somewhere between
• 2:59
  eighty five in eighty nine dollars for Disney, which is about as low as
• 3:04
  it's traded in about ten years. And the thing that you know, people
• 3:07
  have to know about stocks is that that price is predicated largely on, you
• 3:15
  know, the faith in future earnings and as you alluded Disney's racking up movies
• 3:23
  that have big budgets but don't really pull in, you know, the money
• 3:27
  at the box office. And as I've said before, a large reason for
• 3:30
  that is the Disney has a brand, a real brand issue. It is
• 3:37
  becoming very synonymous with hyper sexualization in terms of its content, and it is
• 3:44
  only really the fault of Disney. When you have executives being seen on zoom
• 3:50
  calls talking about how they have children who are you know, transgender or pan
• 3:57
  sexual or bisexual, and they want to see those sorts of characters in Disney
• 4:03
  content. It makes a lot of people nervous. You know, if you
• 4:09
  want to be an adult and has consenting sexual attraction or activity with whoever you
• 4:18
  want to, that's totally fine. You know, generally, I think spinking
• 4:24
  a lot of people might agree. But when it comes to pushing that sort
• 4:28
  of content on adolescents, and you have a situation in which a lot of
• 4:35
  people just turn you know, Disney Junior on or Disney Plus on and it
• 4:43
  captivates their child and they sort of leave the room. That has a trickle
• 4:47
  down effect, and we're seeing it in the stock price, We're seeing it
• 4:51
  this this the third quarter Disney numbers were horrific. People three hundred thousand people
• 4:59
  canceled the Disney Plush subscription. They're they're increasing the price for Disney Plus and
• 5:05
  so you saw, you know, an astronomical increase for people searching how to
• 5:12
  cancel Disney Plus. Will probably see that in the fourth quarter earnings numbers.
• 5:17
  Yeah, it's you know, I don't know, it's sad because it's such
• 5:21
  an American brand and had been for a long time. But every everything that
• 5:27
  Woke touches turns to the new mayor of Realville dispensing information at the speed of
• 5:34
  sound. It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Jerome Hudson with me from
• 5:54
  Breitbart dot Com. He's the entertainment editor and he is also off of the
• 6:00
  fifty Things books, Fifty Things they don't want you to know, Fifty Things
• 6:04
  they don't want you to know about Trump and as soon coming fifty Things they
• 6:10
  don't want you to know about and we'll have to wait and see what that
• 6:12
  is. And he's also a friend. He was an intern with us years
• 6:17
  and years ago, and as just a dear friend of mine personally and my
• 6:24
  wife and I love Jerome are kids. Yeah, and so he's just a
• 6:29
  good friend, all right, friend, tell me helped me understand what's going
• 6:32
  on with Michael Or. And you know, the film The blind Side was
• 6:36
  a thing. Sandra Bullock got an oscar. Now there's people jamming on Sandra
• 6:41
  Bullock like it's somehow her fault that Michael Or and the family are having issues.
• 6:46
  What's this all about? Yeah, you know, Michael Lore good kid,
• 6:51
  bad situation. The Towey family sort of adopted him at the uh you
• 7:00
  know, they met him at sixteen, sort of took him in and we
• 7:05
  get the movie that that really kind of goes into that whole relationship about fifteen
• 7:13
  years ago, and in and in since that time, in the intervening years,
• 7:18
  it had been rumored for a long time that Michael Or you know,
• 7:24
  after he excuse me, went to play football University Old miss and was drafted
• 7:30
  in the first round by the Baltimore Ravens. After the movie came out in
• 7:36
  that span that he wasn't satisfied, if you will, with the breakdown of
• 7:44
  how his life was you know, portrayed turned into a movie. How the
• 7:47
  Twoey family, who had had their own independent wealth from owning several different franchises.
• 7:56
  Michael Laure wasn't happy how he was portrayed in the film. He was
• 8:01
  he was portrayed as a little bit slow, if you will. But but
• 8:05
  more importantly, there were royalties that were allegedly anyway given to the Twoey family
• 8:13
  but not necessarily shared with Michael Or. So Michael Or's attorney has alleged that,
• 8:22
  you know, the royalty, the Twey family, they had their own
• 8:26
  agent, they had their own lawyer, they had they received royalties, but
• 8:31
  Michael Or didn't. And so you know, the Twey family is saying that,
• 8:37
  look, we couldn't adopt him. They're about twenty nine states in which
• 8:41
  you can't adopt a person after they turned eighteen. So they did a conservatorship
• 8:46
  to you know, yeah, which is it's just it's it's a bunch of
• 8:54
  legal leads and it's all sort of he said or his lawyers said, and
• 8:58
  their lawyers said at this point, but they're stating that they gave half of
• 9:03
  the royalties to him, and that that's going to be made abundantly clear.
• 9:09
  The twoy family attorney has made statements yes, in that in that sense,
• 9:18
  they set up a trust we set up a trust, a Twey family set
• 9:20
  up a trust from Michael. We had regular deposits going into that trust.
• 9:28
  Uh, those statements will have to be bared out to be true in court
• 9:33
  because you can't as an attorney, you can't. You can't make declarative statements
• 9:37
  like that. And then it comes to find out that, yeah, the
• 9:41
  twoies made royalties from a film portraying the life of this young man that grossed
• 9:46
  over three hundred million dollars, grossed even more money in home video. There
• 9:50
  were books written, the twoies did speaking tours. You can't you can't say
• 9:54
  that we shared royalties from all of that with Michael Lore and that didn't happen.
• 9:58
  So we right now it's it is a lot of allegations, but there
• 10:03
  will be discovery in the litigation and you know a lot will be born out
• 10:09
  from it. But it is really sad. I mean, for a lot
• 10:11
  of people, that was their favorite film or one of their favorite films.
• 10:13
  It was a beautiful story and now it's all becomes toxic. Well, I'll
• 10:20
  tell you sometimes the off air commentary and discussions that go on between Jerome and
• 10:30
  me, I am I am talking him out of writing an article on Breitbart
• 10:37
  about my five thousand show. It's just it's not necessary. It just it
• 10:43
  does it doesn't warrant national distribution. You need a statue, it leaves Okay,
• 10:58
  yeah, well yeah, do you put a billboard up in Tallahassee,
• 11:01
  Thank you, Preston. No, I don't think so. I don't.
• 11:05
  I don't think so. I did. I did have people put up a
• 11:09
  fake gravestone during COVID when I was telling people to be wary of the vaccine,
• 11:15
  and I had someone put up a gravestone in their front yard that said
• 11:18
  I listened to Preston Scott. Yeah. Can you believe that? Yeah?
• 11:24
  Yeah, yeah, that's that's Actually, that's something I'm somewhat proud of because
• 11:28
  I've been vindicated on my concerns. But that's a story for another day.
• 11:33
  I told you I wanted to talk about Skittles. Here's why another company.
• 11:39
  Okay, we've got bud Light, We've got Disney, we've got Target,
• 11:45
  and who knows how many other untold businesses that have have dabbled in the in
• 11:52
  the waters of the rainbow. But but what what skittles thing taste the rainbow
• 11:56
  right, and they have gone all in with packaging, LGBTQ packaging, trans
• 12:03
  black Lives matters drome. What's wrong with these people? I was just looking
• 12:09
  at the Forbes two hundred Billionaires lists and they're about half a dozen Mars family
• 12:16
  members on that list. They're gonna be on it a year from now.
• 12:22
  Well slightly, it's slightly related. Uh. I saw this listerine right,
• 12:31
  Gosh, I hope I'm not saying the wrong company now, Grant starting his
• 12:35
  head, Yeah, okay, I'm correct. Yeah, And it's it's so
• 12:39
  it's the progress flag, right, and it sort of has like the little
• 12:43
  arrow pointing to the right. Is that what that is? That's the progress
• 12:48
  flag? Yeah, okay, it's got something to do with indigenous people.
• 12:54
  Good. Look, you don't want to become the bud light of brands,
• 13:01
  okay, because that's like in double A in NC double A death penalty.
• 13:09
  You know, you you you automatically become so toxic that people see your product
• 13:13
  in the aisle and they just and they just walk away, or as I
• 13:18
  have done, I don't shop at Target anymore because it just felt like a
• 13:26
  pretty easy call. I mean, once you go into you know, the
• 13:33
  sexual exploitation of children is one thing, but you you you compound that death
• 13:39
  double worship. Yeah, you know, Hail Satan clothing for sale. I
• 13:45
  mean, I don't know. I'll just I'll find somewhere else to buy my
• 13:48
  two Chicks vodka. I don't get it. I really don't understand. And
• 13:58
  most days i'm i'm I I see new heroes. You know, we got
• 14:01
  this story about fifty Cents saying that Los Angeles is gone, like it's not
• 14:07
  coming back because you just have flash mobs just ransacking. Uh, you know,
• 14:13
  luxury jury stores and clothing outlets, that sort of crime when it has
• 14:20
  when it becomes ubiquitous, and there don't there there are no consequences for your
• 14:28
  lawlessness. He's right, fifty Cents right, like you only have to look
• 14:33
  at history. So I see these heroes just unlikely people speaking truth to the
• 14:39
  insanity that's happening. And then Skittles does this or Listerine goes with the trends.
• 14:43
  It's like, what in the actual HG double hockey sticks does mouthwash have
• 14:52
  to do with with trans people's right. It's just it's so bizarre to me.
• 15:00
  I don't understand the boardroom in the conversation in the boardroom where these decisions
• 15:03
  are made, where these these campaigns are greenless. I don't get it.
• 15:09
  I mean, I I don't think I remember Listerine or Skittles or any of
• 15:15
  these companies coming out overtly for any political cause. Maybe privately donating to things,
• 15:24
  but not publicly, And so I don't get why they're picking up this
• 15:28
  banner. I don't understand the virtue signaling. You know, I'm hosting right
• 15:35
  Brant News Saturday from ten am Eastern to one pm, and I'm gonna pick
• 15:41
  this conversation up, but you know, I'm sorry, I'm gonna be on
• 15:46
  the golf course. I won't be able to join you. Well, in
• 15:48
  case you were going to offer me the slot. More Americans are ending up
• 15:54
  homeless at a record rate, you know, and so I see headlines like
• 15:58
  that, and then I think Italls wants to push this wild sexual, freakish
• 16:07
  sideshow circus attraction, and I just, you know, like, what are
• 16:10
  we doing some kind of crazy whacka do? All right, buddy, thanks
• 16:15
  very much, Love you talk to you soon, yes, sir, All
• 16:18
  right. Jerome Hudson with me on the Morning Show with Preston Scott
