• 0:12
  Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute,
• 0:16
  that's not right. Wrong music we get, we get, Oh,
• 0:25
  wait a minute, Mark, that was for you. We are on our
• 0:39
  road today. It's the third hour of the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
• 0:44
  Good morning, Thanks very much. Mark writes in because he hates our normal
• 0:49
  opening music, and so he was really happy to hear the Christmas music at
• 0:53
  the start of each hour. So Grant and I immediately saw the email and
• 0:59
  said, well, now we only aimed please, we need to respond to
• 1:06
  this. It's funny. Yeah, it is funny. Jerome Hudson Jerome Hudson
• 1:11
  with us from Breitbart. He's the entertainment editor author of the Fifty Things books.
• 1:15
  Hello, my friend, how are you? I'm fantastic. I thought
• 1:19
  I thought about fifteen years ago when I did my first interview in studio.
• 1:26
  You asked if I wanted some walk out music. Yeah, but I said,
• 1:30
  do you remember what I said? What I requested? Dude, I
• 1:34
  don't remember anything. Grant said yesterday, what are you talking about? I
• 1:40
  shouldn't put you on a spot like that. No, I don't tell me.
• 1:44
  No it it was James Brown living in America, oh, I do
• 1:49
  remember that, and you know, you know, of course why we can't
• 1:52
  play anything like that anymore. Right, I don't have anything witty to say.
• 1:57
  Well, I mean, yeah, like licensing and stuff. Well,
• 2:00
  it's because even though I think about the money, iHeart makes these people.
• 2:07
  Right, and it's a quick pro quo. It is right. We make
• 2:10
  we make money playing music. They make money because we play their music.
• 2:15
  Well, because we podcast this program, we would have to edit every bump
• 2:22
  out of the show if we played any pop music, any any any recorded
• 2:25
  songs. So we have to use the stuff that's just production music. That's
• 2:29
  so unfortunate. Well, I think it's shortsighted on behalf of the artists because
• 2:34
  we might play a bump and someone goes, you know what, I haven't
• 2:37
  heard that song in years. I'm gonna go get that thing. But their
• 2:40
  lawyers, though, are they get real fancy law degrees until someone somewhere crunched
• 2:46
  the numbers. But it's stupid because we're doing the subliminal messaging for them to
• 2:54
  go buy that old song. I don't know anyway, No, I love
• 3:01
  the I love these these What is it is it? The present got morning
• 3:06
  show bump? It's it's it's got a little rock and roll to it.
• 3:10
  It's just it's what we use whatever. You know. All I can say
• 3:15
  is it it annoys some people, and so we just thought we'd be annoying
• 3:17
  for just another fifteen seconds this morning. Oh man, I do I do
• 3:23
  miss being in the studio. Of course I was there last month. Yeah,
• 3:28
  I'm back here looking at a hazy skyline here in downtown Jacksonville. Yeah.
• 3:34
  The chair you sat in I'm having removed, okay, And and it
• 3:40
  will only be brought back in when you come back to the studio. You
• 3:45
  just send it to the Smithsonian alone, well, or the Broadcasting Hall of
• 3:50
  Fame. Hey tell me this, Yes, and we and we're going to
• 3:55
  go to break here in just a minute. But what is the one story
• 4:00
  that most of us are oblivious to? It's not on our radar, but
• 4:05
  that you are aware of and you think is pretty dog one important. Ooh
• 4:13
  oh man, it's so such a good it's a good question. I mean,
• 4:18
  the first as you okay, so as you were laying out that that
• 4:23
  question, the first story that comes to mind is the report that Lebron James
• 4:29
  didn't stand up during the singing of the National Anthem at his son Bronnie james
• 4:34
  usc basketball game debut. That one just really stuck in my craw. But
• 4:41
  but as you continued the question and I was like, oh, something seismic,
• 4:46
  something maybe more important. I will say the collapse of the media industry
• 4:54
  and by extension, the entertainment industry. The amount of job that are being
• 5:00
  lost because of cost cutting, restructuring, acquisitions is massive. And I don't
• 5:11
  I you know, it's we're talking about, you know, north of six
• 5:15
  figured amount of jobs. There have been about almost fifty thousand entertainment jobs lost
• 5:20
  just this year alone. In media jobs, we're talking about like forty thousand.
• 5:28
  It's the Preston Show with Morning Scott what twelve minutes past the hour,
• 5:40
  Jerome Hudson with US Jerome, you were talking about the collapse media entertainment,
• 5:46
  the loss of jobs and so forth. How much of it, if you
• 5:49
  pie charted it for me, is self inflicted I e. Disney. How
• 5:56
  much of it is contraction due to the economy Biden? And how much of
• 6:02
  it is just automation and streamlining because of AI. If you gave me the
• 6:11
  pie, I chop it up into probably thirds. And I don't know what
• 6:15
  i'd do with what is it? What would be left? Zero point nine
• 6:18
  percent? But yeah, I mean a third of it is out of automation
• 6:24
  AI. Major studios are buying up artificial intelligence technology companies right so they can
• 6:33
  they can have the rights to the technology that they want to use to when
• 6:39
  they fire writers or producers or whatever. You know. We we reported we
• 6:47
  on the entertainment side of it on yesterday. You know Hasbro, which you
• 6:55
  hear that name, Maybe the brands don't come to mind immediately that well,
• 7:03
  you know that is monopoly. You know, that is transformers. So they're
• 7:09
  they're laying off twenty percent of their workforce and you've got to read fourteen or
• 7:14
  fifteen paragraphs down, but cost of production is one of the major reasons.
• 7:19
  And so look, I mean automation is going to dramatically change the landscape of
• 7:27
  the workforce. You know, I guess just in the same way that any
• 7:32
  new technology does. You know what, I don't know exactly what happened to
• 7:36
  horses when the model T arrived. I imagine they appreciated the extended vacations,
• 7:45
  but you know, jobs were lost, if you will, you know,
• 7:49
  I just I had an opportunity to host Breitbart News Saturday this past Saturday,
• 7:59
  but I could not do it. In a rare and a rare situation.
• 8:03
  I was actually in Cleveland, Ohio to support the Jaguars on Sunday. But
• 8:11
  when I'm not hosting Preston and I think you may have taught me some sort
• 8:16
  of habit to do this, I keep yeah, well, well, you
• 8:22
  know, always be prepared or something. I don't know. Okay, yeah,
• 8:26
  there is that in season and out, Yeah, go ahead. I
• 8:31
  keep stories, just a catalog of stories that you know, I feel like
• 8:37
  are kind of seizemic, super important and may not get all the attention that
• 8:46
  they need or that they deserve. There's like a through line. I got
• 8:52
  about thirty of them, this whole notion. And what's really looking like it's
• 8:58
  impure now that the American dream is just out of reach for maybe the largest
• 9:05
  amount of Americans ever. It's just, you know, you can't elect Democrats.
• 9:13
  You shouldn't elect them to anything, okay, but when you elect them
• 9:18
  to president, when you have what happened in Georgia. For whatever reason my
• 9:24
  home state, enough people in it decided that giving Democrats the Senate majority was
• 9:31
  better. Then I can't. Kelly was one of the names of the Republicans
• 9:37
  running, and then you had the former Purdue that giving Democrats the majority in
• 9:43
  the Senate was a better idea better strategy. You're wrong. You can't elect
• 9:48
  Democrats to anything. You certainly shouldn't elect them to high ranking state offices or
• 9:56
  the Oval Office, because this is what happens. This is what happens.
• 9:58
  A home, which was the physical embodiment of the American dream, and for
• 10:03
  good reason, is now unaffordable for a larger number of Americans than ever before.
• 10:11
  On your phone with the iHeart radio app and on hundreds of devices like
• 10:15
  Alexa, Google Home, Xbox, and Sonos. This is Chrisler and Iheart's
• 10:18
  radio station. Joem Hudson, it's a great gift at Christmas time. Get
• 10:30
  any of the fifty Things books. He's got two of them, Fifty Things
• 10:33
  they don't want you to know and fifty Things they don't want you to know
• 10:35
  about Trump. There will hopefully be a third book coming soon. We won't
• 10:41
  get sidetracked by that. And he's the entertainment editor at Breitbart dot Com.
• 10:45
  You were talking about, don't ever elect a Democrat to any office anywhere,
• 10:54
  just don't do it. I mean, I'm not saying that the grand O
• 10:58
  Party is perfect, no, but oh no, no, members of that
• 11:01
  party are far less likely to lie to you on a number of issues.
• 11:09
  Okay, And that, I mean, that really is our problem in America.
• 11:13
  It's just we have too many people elevated to positions of power that they
• 11:18
  shouldn't be a planet size near and they got there by lyne and trading their
• 11:26
  soul and bartering their integrity. And that is why we're having cultural debates about
• 11:35
  what a woman is. Okay, there is an invasion that is currently happening
• 11:41
  on our border, and are the the US House majority of Republicans have been
• 11:48
  trying for weeks just to look if you want to fund the Ukraine War because
• 11:54
  that country's borders are being invaded. See the irony. Just give us us
• 12:00
  some concessions, I don't know, so we can secure our own damn border.
• 12:05
  And and why isn't that happening, you asked, Because Democrats don't give
• 12:09
  a damn about anything other than self and enriching and winning the next election.
• 12:13
  Hey, hey, you've done a little too much satellite radio, buddy.
• 12:20
  Oh I'm sorry. Wow, Family Show real family shop. Dial it,
• 12:24
  dial it back a little bit, just looking at it. Okay, go
• 12:26
  ahead. You know, President and I were talking off the air about,
• 12:35
  uh, you know, how our economy and I don't know if it's a
• 12:37
  third of the economy is being shifted, but we're spending tuned to the hundreds
• 12:43
  of billions of dollars on green energy and technology. You know, Democrats don't
• 12:48
  care about saving the planet. They don't even care whether or not it is
• 12:54
  a relevant question if the planet needs saving at all. Congress provided and I
• 13:00
  have billion dollars for electric vehicle charges built so far. Zero. Okay.
• 13:07
  That is what happens when you elect Democrats. Okay, those are the people
• 13:11
  who want to hire almost one hundred thousand more IRS auditors. Why because they
• 13:18
  spend our money so responsibly and they got to fund their habit. They got
• 13:22
  to fund their habit. They just need more of it. Stop electing these
• 13:26
  people. What is your home? E? Hudson, don't ask me what
• 13:31
  the E stands for? Wants for Christmas? I want you people to realize
• 13:35
  or the people out there listening, or who may be listening, and who
• 13:39
  may be listening, and know people who haven't realized that we're being fleeced and
• 13:45
  we don't have to be. We don't deserve this. We do deserve better.
• 13:50
  It is what our guard fearing forefathers wanted for us. You know,
• 13:54
  we we we fought for freedom for a long time, and I mean we
• 14:01
  you know, you know, Republicans had to beat Democrats to free the slaves,
• 14:05
  and then they had to fight the Democrats in Congress and in the White
• 14:09
  House and in state houses for a hundred years because that party wanted to keep
• 14:13
  people with milk chocolate skin like mine on a virtual plantation after they were forced
• 14:18
  to release us from an actual plantation. It's always the same problem. And
• 14:24
  again, Republicans aren't perfect, but you're far more likely to be reading the
• 14:28
  headlines that we're reading if we just stop electing Democrats. Put it, put
• 14:37
  it in a box, wrap it up some paper, and put a bow
• 14:39
  on it. Okay next November, folks, Okay, because we're going to
• 14:45
  continue to see some pretty bad headlines. That's why you just got to pray
• 14:48
  and enjoy your family and count your blessings. But we can stop this crazy
• 14:52
  tide. Okay, Oh yeah, you can tell I have it on radio
• 15:05
  hosting or anything. For a while. I don't need to say another word
• 15:09
  other than Merry Christmas, my friend. Yeah, I love you, have
• 15:13
  a great view, have a great Christmas season, Grant, I'll be I'll
• 15:16
  be looking for your missive. God bless you all. God, bless your
• 15:22
  family, go, bless your audience. In that city that I loved and
• 15:24
  lived in for twelve years. You're gonna be seeing Grant's wife. No,
• 15:28
  I said missive. Oh I thought you said you're missus. I'm sorry,
• 15:33
  got you all right, very good, Merry Christmas. Stress. Yeah,
• 15:37
  Marry, I'm just being a jerk. Talk to you, Sue, Buddy,
• 15:43
  All all right, Jerome Hudson with us. That was epically fun.
• 15:50
  And that's what we do here at the Morning Show with Preston Scott M.
