  Speaker 1: Here we are a third hour of the Morning Show
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: with Prustin Scott with you this morning. Dismissed from jury
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: duty over the weekend. So I am here fulfilling my
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: duties the best that I possibly can those days over
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: there in Studio one A. I am here in Studio
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: one B, and I am joined by our dear friend,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Jerome Hudson, entertainment editor Brybar dot com, author of the
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: fifty Things books. Hello, sir, how are you?
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Good morning? Good morning, good morning? I have to know.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: How did you do it? What did you tell them?
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Nothing? Did you No? I didn't even get to show up. Look. Look,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the last time I got asked to show up for
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: jury duty, I spent six months on the Grand Jury While. Yeah,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: So I was like, okay, here we go. And I
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: got the text and then then the attached email that
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: said you are number such and such and such and
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: such you are dismissed. I was like, right, come on,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: so I'm I'm look, I'm fine serving. I'm just fine,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: not serving too exactly.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: No, Well, they'll get your next friend.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Hey, look, let me. I would imagine this is almost
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: like asking what's your favorite dessert? But what's your favorite
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: thing that happened last week in the first week of
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump as president.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Sort of anecdotal, and it wasn't one conversation that I had.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: It was sort of a string of conversations sometimes with
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: people who the strangest thing yesterday just talking to a
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: friend relate a story about how their friend found my
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: my my trump book, and you know, it was just
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: sort of reading through it around the time of the inauguration.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: In terms of policy, I'll shut up and answer your question.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I love the raids because doctor Phil McGraw is embedded
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: apparently with ICE as they detained sexual sexual predators and
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: terrorists in Chicago right now. The raids, the ICE raids
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: have to be my favorite. The way in which Jenny
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: vance Uh conducted himself during the CBS interview yesterday. He
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: was talking about Catholic institutions coming out, you know, saying
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: that you know, it's it's it's it's blasphemous, it's dangerous,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: it's it's anti Catholic to spend rules that ICE agents
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: can't actually apprehend suspects that they've determined to be unlawfully
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: in the country. Number One, but certainly dangerous to the
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: community is that those ICE agents can't conduct those target
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: and arrests and operations in faith institutions, specifically Catholic churches.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I just.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: The people who have been exposed, for the people who've
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: suffered so senselessly under Joe Biden's policies, the families who've
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: lost loved ones ope legally here, you know, families have
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: had to bury their children, whether it be overdose or
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: some drug driving accident or really raped and murdered. That
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: feeling of vindication for so many people. Again, so much
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: of this could have been mitigated, but can't change the past.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: And so I'm just happy that, as my mother would say,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: you know, things are finally starting to get back to
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: being done with decency and order.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Jerome, let's switch and talk a little so cal here.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I couldn't help, but notice Julia Roberts suddenly didn't have
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of tolerance for looters when it came into
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: her neighborhood and her buddy's neighborhoods offered a big f
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: you looters when she supported such actions, basically when it
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: was during George Floyd and in other cities. Is the
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: worm turning because of the fires? Are these illiberal elitists
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: going to finally sort of get fed up with the
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: status quo of California.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: In California has the largest number of Republicans in any
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: state in the Union. Right, it's got to most people.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: But for a long time, I think I think, I
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: think the status quo sort of the operating assumption was
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: that you shouldn't expect that much from your elected officials.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I think that change certainly before COVID. But after COVID,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: the relationship, if you will, between the people and the
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: government was fundamentally altered in a way that none of us,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I think, were prepared for. And you know, again getting
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: back to things being exposed, I just think people in California,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I think, you know what you're gonna get when you
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: live out there, especially working class people right, probably gonna
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: have to work two jobs to enjoy all the great weather,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: the great scenery, just the plethora of just things you
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: can do out there. I love California. You know, obviously,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Andrew Breitbart's headquarters is in Brentwood, Los Angeles. But when
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: it came to, you know, having a examples of say,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: for instance, natural disasters happening, so in Florida, people saw
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: the preparedness even going back to Jeb Bush, but more
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: poignantly with Ron DeSantis and how he would handle these
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: natural disasters that you could be prepared. You could have
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: you know, linement, tens of thousands of them ready to
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: respond to power outages. And when it came to you know,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: situations like the education system, the radicalization of children as
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: young as seven and eight years old in third grade,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: there was a response again, you know, in Florida to
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: how Disney tried to politicize the classroom, sexualized children. That
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: wasn't the same way. And you started to see, you know,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: school board members in San Francisco, California use their job.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: You look at policing and long form the same way
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: the lap D, many of them are in console contact
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: with reporters in the Bretbart newsroom. Often felt like no
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: one was on their side. It was it was the prosecutors.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: In many cases, it was these unelected citizen advisory boards.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Everyone was against law enforcement. And it all preston. One
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: after another of these dominoes kept falling and it was
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: it was too much and you and again you'd see
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: in elections the people fighting back, and I think after
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Kamala Harris loss, sort of the things that, particularly the
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: entertainment industry, the leftist in Silicon Valley, where Kamala Harris
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: really rose to power thanks to their generosity, they all
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: took it for granted. They all just sort of assume
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: that she would win, that their their arguments were right,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: that their popularity would once again get her over the
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: finish line, that people would see that Donald Trump was
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: this dangerous representative of the dark mago or whatever Joe
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Biden's calling him, and that and that didn't happen. And
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: so it was the confluence of all of these things.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's the fish scales are really thick in
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: that place. I'll never forget a conversation that I had
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: sitting at a bar in some West Hollywood promenague with
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: a woman for three hours. President. The first hour and
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: a half, you know, we talked about politics, We talked
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: about Andrew Bradbark's legacy, how the media is, you know,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: it was this billion, multi billion dollar, you know, a
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: fake news machine. And she said to me that she
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: loves Brad Parks, she loves what we do. But she
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: she promised me that she that I would never that
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I would never repeat a thing that was said in
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: that conversation she worked in real estate, and an actual
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: chill went down my spy and I only relay that
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: that anecdote to say that even people who agree with
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: you and I, perhaps most of the people in this audience,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: they live under fear of reprisal for just having opinions
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: about politics that aren't popular, and that is that is shifting.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: The reality TV stars, the A List stars are all
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: coming out now. It's not a very long limb for
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Kim Kardashian or for that matter, her sister Chloe Kardashian
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: to stand out on. But I mean, having been in
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: news for longer than I can do the math right now,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: I don't think I would have ever imagined, you know,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: seeing the highest echelons of celebrity culture calling out a
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: sitting Democrat in one of the bluest cities, uh in America.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: And I mean, that's a culture shift that I don't
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: think can be overstated.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Jerome is the entertainment editor at Brightbard dot com. So
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw you one right down the middle of
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the plate. What is the purpose of mel Gibson, Slice Stallone,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: and John Voight being tabbed by President Trump ambassadors for
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: what purpose.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: It's it's I think it's so. I think it's more symbolic.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: So those three gentlemen are in their own rights, very
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: recognizable both in the industry, and you know, just just
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: you know, you probably talked to one hundred people, A
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: good percentage of them would recognize all three of those names,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: and for for all for very different reasons. They both
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: you know, have varying degrees of respect in the industry,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: and that is something that has been lacking for a
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: long time. I literally was having this conversation with an
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: officer and a gentleman last night at dinner, talking about
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: how the movie star is no more right. And even
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: if you throw out a name like Tom Cruise, well
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: he's been sixty years old for a long time, or
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Harrison Ford, and even people like Robert de Niro. I
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: think people think about Robert de Niro now, they probably
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: think about his profanity, lace rants against Donald Trump more
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: than they do some iconic role that he started not
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: decades ago, like you know, Raging Bull, but recently even
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: decades ago, like the Fokkers. And so it's symbolic in
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: the sense that people in the industry, preston I mean,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: just talking to a former executive of Disney a couple
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: of weeks ago. People people want to just entery. They
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: really just don't want politics. And if you talk about diversity, equity, inclusion,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: you know, investing the corporate sector or the military. I mean,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: one of the deepest hives is in Hollywood. It's I mean,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: it's the it's the place that preaches about the rest
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: of the country being bigoted and sexist and that stuff,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: those isms. I mean, it's a it's a deep culture
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: out there. And so the President is a showman probably first.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: You know, you just look no further than the inauguration
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: and the TV entertaining spectacle that that was in an
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: amazing way. The President deeply cares about American institutions, and
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Hollywood is an American institution for better of course, and
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: it has been hurting in the hundreds of thousands of
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: blue collar many of them union members. These are signals
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: that Donald Trump is sending to those people. He is
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: saying that I hear you, I know that this industry
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: is struggling, and Hollywood is struggling. And there are there
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: are hundreds of thousands of blue collar people who many
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: of them probably supported Donald Trump, who are hurting as well.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: And so to lift up Hollywood is to lift up
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: in many ways people who are now in Donald Trump's
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: base who probably weren't in twenty fifteen or sixty.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: It's going to be interesting to see if make Hollywood
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Great Again takes some takes root. Because right now, right now,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: from a populis standpoint, everything Donald Trump is touching, He's
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: got the Midas touch.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: You know, I had this conversation. I hosted our program
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Bright Barton Is Daily on Serious XM on Friday, and
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: I had this conversation through the lens of sort of
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: the sports right. You know, I'm a Jaguars fan, to
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: the tune of too much money a year on tickets.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: And you know, teams draft the MLB, NHL, you have
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: these drafts and you don't really know what a draft
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: prospect will be. You don't know what that picture will
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: be when you draft them, but you hope that there
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: will be something right. And Donald Trump losing the twenty
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: twenty election, you know, it happened for a reason. You
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: believe that. I believe that. I'm sure maybe most in
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: the audience believed that, but I didn't see this. Preston,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: you know, right, and when I say that, like I again,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: I studied Donald Trump's policies for over a year. I
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: wrote a book about them. What I constantly try not
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: to take for granted is the other side, like the
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Democratic Party, Like we're talking about birthright citizenship right now,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: you got seconds? The party exists.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Huh, you got thirty seconds?
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sorry. Well, our best days are ahead of us,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: and I just don't think that people would have able
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: to have been able to say that and believe that Kamala
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Harris won. So even if you didn't vote for the president,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: pray for him, support him because I truly believe that
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: he has our best interesting part. You know, we'll see.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Good to visit with you, my friend. We'll talk again
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: next month.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: I love you so much. Thank you, love you.
