  Speaker 1: program before. After working at the Government Accountability Institute and
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: with Peter Schweitzer, of all people, in twenty thirteen, he
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: started working for Breitbart, specializing and showing the vast disconnect
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: between the idiots in Hollywood and everyday Americans read regularly
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: about that. He's actually written a great book to fifty
• 0:51

• 0:57

  Speaker 1: Heave you back on, Jerome Hudson. Happy Tuesday to you, sir.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: So gack to be here. Thank you well.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: You're doing an empower youse some of our class tonight.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: It is a log in only my listeners know. They
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: can either show up at the empower you some of
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: our studios or log in from home, but this one
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: is a log in only seven pm. Just make sure
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: you register ahead of time at empower Youamerica dot org.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I just have to ask you directly because I do
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: not listen to anything Hollywood movie stars, say Jerome Hudson.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: They're actors. They provide a product that I might enjoy.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I love movies. Sometimes I like them, sometimes they don't.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: But I have to disconnect myself from the political realities
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: of any given actor in order to enjoy a movie,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: because quite often it flies in the face of my
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: own political philosophy. But why do I even know what
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: their politics are? Why does anybody care? Generally, it's like
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: a weird human phenomena, Jerome, that people want to know
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: what these idiots do when they're not playing roles in
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: a movie.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: And Brian, you probably would never know Robert de Niro's
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: politics or name your favorite singer or actor unless Democrats
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: wanted to stay in office. And we know generally most
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: politicians too. But Democrats formed brian an unholy alliance with
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Hollywood celebrities about a quarter century ago, and the Democratic
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Party realized that they needed to be able to tap
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: into and engage young voters. And what's the easiest way
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: to do it? But it don't go around, go straight
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: to their favorite entertainers, their singers, the actors, and so slowly,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: but surely, it sort of started with issue politics in
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: the early to mid nineties, feminism, environmentalism, and it slowly
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: crept into a list actors in, celebrities, endorsing politicians, and
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: now it's morphed. It's more into something just gargantuan, you know.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, we all have box and opinions about institutions
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: like say, planned parenthood, but you do a little bit
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: of digging around and you realize that Planned parenthood infamous
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: for snuffing out you know, potential life in the womb. Sure,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: but they stood up over a decade ago, over two
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: decades ago, a little program by which they called it
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: their Arts and entertainment division, and most people didn't know it.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: You saw abortion stories creep up and then populate more
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: and more in your favorite TV shows and movies, but
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: you didn't know that Planned Parenthood was actually working with
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: the producers, working with the writers and the directors of
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: those TV shows and those movies, and they did it
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: over one hundred times. It's just one example of again
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: this unholy alliance between the left in America, the Democrat
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Party in Hollywood, and I think I think we're all
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: kind of having this debate. Whether you're a moderate or
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: an independent conservative or liberal, you just want ideas to
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: be debated. Well, the left in the Democrat Party don't
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: really play by those rules, right, They oftentimes find ways
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: to cheat. And so if you can leverage celebrity in
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: the influence of an a list finger like a Taylor Swift,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: for example, to endorse the quote unquote historic first potential
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: female president, then you'll do that if you're that celebrity,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: because you want to be relevant, you want to make
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: friends with the most powerful people. It's really it's really
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: a fascinating machine that they've built, and we expose it.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: We have fun doing it to educate people just like you, Brian,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: who you don't really pay attention to, or you downplay,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: or you just don't see the relevance right, And knowing
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: what taylors Lift cares about tax policy, yeah, probably doesn't
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: have a lot of deep thoughts, but she is a tool.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: She is being weaponized by the party that you're probably
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: voting again.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: But it seems to me, Jerome, that they do that
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: to their own disadvantage because the minute a you know,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: a celebrity, a singer, a movie star or whatever. And
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: if you're in this category of entertainment, pop culture, whatever,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: you have a probably appeal to a broad array of
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: the populace. Republicans, Democrats, communists, libertarians. You know, they're all
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: out there, and they may love your music. But the
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: minute you open your mouth, you are going to alienate.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: This is a lot of businesses have learned this as you.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I'm sure note, Jerome, you are going to alienate a
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: potentially sizeable segment of the public. So question, why in
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the hell, if I'm looking out for my own best interest,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: would I even go down that road?
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Well, you, I mean, by the time you make it
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: to the place generally that you're being asked to join
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: a presidential campaign. I mean, think about the last night
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: of the twenty sixteen campaign in Cleveland, Ohio, right a
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: few hours away from where you're sitting, Hillary Clinton was
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: standing on a stage with Lebron James. Remember Beyonce and
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: her husband, Jay Z. Those three individuals won a sports
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: icon and two music and passion moguls. They stopped making
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: decisions that actually mattered. And I do think, you know,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: using your platform, if you're Lebron James in a debate
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: for the Greatest of All Time, or your Beyonce and
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Jay Z, which at the time collectively they were worth
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: a billion dollars and the millions of records sold, I
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: think you have to just sort of stop and think
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: about what you're doing. But I'm telling you, Brian, they
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: don't get a chance to do that. Their handlers, their
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: pr maven's, the publicists, they their record labels, their employees.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: The pressure and is so heavy and it's so high
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: at that point that to not endorse is basically an
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: endorsement of the right of a conservative party. And so
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: that I mean, I don't I'm not asking anyone to
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: feel sorry for a celebrity who endorses a Democrat, but
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: their decision is basically taken away. You know, it's like, hey,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: you got a nice career there would hate for something
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: to happen to it.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Well, and clearly they all run the list of being blacklist.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, youre the McCarthy era against communists, and that
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: was government run going after communists and creating blacklists everything.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: This is them, the Hollywood folks who were the subject
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: of that tack back in the fifties, doing it to themselves,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: doing it to their own. They're creating blacklist. I mean,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: come up with a guy James Woods or Rob Schneider.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Everybody knows who the four or five you know conservatives
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: are in Hollywood, and it's tough for them to get work.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: And it's really what inspired Andrew Breitbart to start Big Hollywood,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: which is sort of the platform and it's nacim stage
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: that morphed into the entertainment desk that I run today.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Thank god. Breitbart, you know, was born and raised in
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles. He was turned on by the entertainment system
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: and after he left college in New Orleans and came back,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: he realized that it wasn't just the media that had
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: this alliance with the Democratic Party. It was also Hollywood
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: celebrities and most audience members didn't actually know that their
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: favorite actor or action star or Buddy copp an actor
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: had politics that were so far out of alignment with
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: their own. And not only that that they were actually
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: helping to elect politicians who would then go and put
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: in place policies that actually made their lives worse. And
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: not only did the audience not know that, most people
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: in the industry knew. And if you spoke your mind
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: and said anything that venture too far from the left
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: wing hymnal that as you said, your career could likely
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: be over your life and your livelihood. And it happened
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: stemically for decades. And Andrew Bredfard gave voices to their
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: early blue collar workers who worked on the set. Right
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: for these A listers just show up and act like
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Sree Madonna's yeah, and do their jobs, and it really
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: morphed into something powerful. And so we have testimonies that
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: we could speak to at Bright part. And it's not
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: just me saying it. You know, papers like The New
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: York Times realized what we were doing at Breitbart during
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: the twenty sixteen election, but by we were just showing
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: how directors like Judd Apatown and Tom Hanks and so
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: many of these singers Lady Gaga for example, and Katie
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Perry were actually just kind of mean spirited and people,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: and you know, they were looking down on their audience
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: because those people dared to vote for Donald Trump and
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: more more importantly, they didn't want to vote for Hillary Clinton.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Well, there's no there's no question about that. Jerum Hudson,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Entertainment editor Breitbart. He's going to Suminar tonight and power
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: you America. Dot org is where you log in. It
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: is virtual only and it starts at seven pm. Just
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: makes you log in earlier because he's going to be
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: talking about Hollywood pop culture, entertainment and how they influenced politics,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: but also how we can push back. And to that point, Drum,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: going back to my initial comment about these celebrities who
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: choose to embrace and engage in political activism, I suggest
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: to do it to their own detriment, because there's going
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: to be a swath of people who will reject them
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: as a consequence of it. But as to their handlers
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: in Hollywood generally speaking, are they not now learning a
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: hard lesson with their woke content? People aren't going to
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: see their movies anymore any I mean they start throwing
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: in LGBTQ the rainbow of characters. Every single leading role
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: now has to be dominated by someone like a man
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: who claims he's a woman. People don't want to see that,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: and they're not buying it, and they're not going to
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: the movies and watching it. Have they learned a lesson yet?
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Because I do remember a day, because I'm an old
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: movie fan, that Hollywood really was a supporter of sort
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: of modern contemporary conservative Christian, if I may be so,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: bold values and that's what brought people into the movie theaters.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Have they lost sight of what makes some money?
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah? The creative process has been poisoned through and through,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: that's for sure. Mean I think Rob Schneider sort of
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: makes the joke that you watch these movies and it
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: really feels like for just finding a trans character, uh,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: to just insert into the plot exactly, and that that's
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: not very far from the truth. And that what what
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Hollywood and I think Disney has been the typical sphere
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: of this for a decade, inserting you know this this
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: this very partisan uh and hyper sexualized and racialized politics
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: into uh, you know family fair that would have otherwise
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: just you know, been flocked to by the average American,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: particularly at the movie theater. You you scorned your audience
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: and you preached down to them. Uh and you and
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: you've you've done I think sort of a cardinal sin
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: that being in between a parent and their child. The
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: story that always comes to mind is Snoop dog watching
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: it Disney movie in the theater with his five year
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: old grandson and then two moms coming on the screen.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: You know. This was Lightyear, which which was an offshoot
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: of you know, the historically popular toy story. Yeah, and
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Snoop Dogg going on a podcast and explaining that situation,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: having to explain to his five year old grandson, why
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: two moms are folding a child in a kitchen that
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: it's it's pretty grotesque, it is. And to think that
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: that's that that it was Disney doing that, You're right,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: they lit the credibility on fire. They did it because
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: they were chasing profit and that time it was it
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: was popular to be woke in the insert woke story.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Well within their circles Jerome, it was popular in their
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: circles America. However, like Snoop Dogg said, whoa no don't
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: try to sell me this crap. I'm not buying it.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: That's why it's a it's a cardinal sin. Also times
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: I struggled trying to apply logic to illogical decisions made
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: by a billion multi billion dollar multinational corporations. I've gotten
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: pretty good at it, but I still get what you're
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: showing here is just like utter confusion, like why would
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: these people like themselves on fire like this? And it
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: made it all the way up to the executive suite, right.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: It was the CEO of Disney in twenty eighteen, Bob Eiger,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: who lobbied against the Georgia's Heartbeat Bill in twenty eighteen.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: He was being pressured by the executives in the room.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: This stuff doesn't happen by accident. I mean, if you
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: take a Disney a subsidiary like ABC and you look
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: at its daytime program, the view that thing is an
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: unmitigated stream of left wing propaganda, and it has been
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: for years. You go to the ninth Time show Jimmy Kimball,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: again an unadulterated flow of left wing propaganda. But it
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter that his ratings are terrible and that they
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: only shoot four days a week instead of five. Right,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: that he's losing tens of millions of dollars. It is
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: purely politics, and that is a choice that Disney and
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: ABC have made, and it makes my job fairly easy.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: But we're just getting data points after data points, back
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: to your back to your point. Like half of Americans,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: half of the three hundred and forty available customers who
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: could have bought a movie ticket in twenty twenty five,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: only only half of them bought one movie ticket all
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: of last year. Right, And so that is that is
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: that that's a warning shot. I think that it's keeping
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: a lot of executives up at night. A lot of
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: these people just want to get back to the wholesome hero,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: you know, good versus.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: East Well, Jerome Hudson. You're yeah, maybe they're listening now.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: And it took you just to say the obvious. Quit
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: doing that. You're killing your own business. You're you're losing
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: opportunity to make money, and you're missing out at a
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: golden opportunity to cash in on what we in America,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: what which is a wholesome message without some guy in
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: there that thinks he's a chick. Jerome Hudson Entertainment and Brightbert,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: it's tonight, seven pm. It's gonna be a fascinating conversation
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: about all this, including how we collectively can push back,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: maybe perhaps beyond just not buying the content. Jerome, it's
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: been fun having you back on do a great
