Hollywood, Pop Culture, Entertainment and Politics | Jerome Hudson, Breitbart News

Andrew Breitbart famously argued that politics is downstream from culture.That is, he said that the entertainment we consume, the stories we tell, and the celebrities we elevate ultimately shape our politics.In this talk, Breitbart News Entertainment Editor, Jerome Hudson, will bring Andrew Breitbart's idea to life by showing how Hollywood and pop culture actively mold public opinion. From films and award shows to social-media activism and celebrity branding, Hudson will examine how cultural narratives become political outcomes.Drawing on years of investigative experience, Hudson will illustrate how the cultural elite preach one set of values while living by another --- such as the environmental messaging of celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, contrasted with their lavish carbon footprints.Hudson will also discuss why he and his team --- profiled in The New York Times for their impact --- haven’t “given up on the culture,” and how to push back effectively.--------------------------------ABOUT JEROME HUDSONPrior to writing for Breitbart, Jerome Hudson worked at the Government Accountability Institute with author, investigative journalist, and political commentator Peter Schweizer. There, Hudson was heavily involved in uncovering government corruption.In 2013 Hudson began writing for Breitbart, where today he is the Entertainment Editor, specializing in showing the vast disconnect between Hollywood and the everyday American. His team was written up in the New York Times for its effectiveness. He looks for incongruities and full-blown hypocrisy between what celebrities say and do, “like Leonardo DeCaprio, tweeting from his half-a-football-field-sized yacht, or from a private jet, saying we all have to reduce our carbon emissions,” he says.Hudson’s most recent book, 50 Things They Don’t Want You to Know about Trump (Harper Collins, October 2020), chronicles what the establishment media withheld from the public about President Trump’s first term: his accomplishments. This book is the Publishers Weekly and USA Today bestseller that the New York Times refused to include on its book rankings, thus making Hudson’s point that the book is full of facts and analysis the establishment press does not want you to know. It reached #5 on Amazon.com.Hudson hosts Breitbart News Tonight every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday on SiriusXM 125 the Patriot channel, 9 p.m. to midnight Eastern. He is a member of the Project 21 Black Leadership Network, serving on the organization’s National Advisory Council. He participated in Candace Owens’ 2019 premiere BLEXIT event where he gave a rousing speech.
