Valuetainment - “Hollywood is Being Destroyed” – Could Trump's Movie Tariffs SAVE Hollywood From Collapse？

00:00:00.000 the president is obviously not too happy with what's going on with canada and he comes out

00:00:05.600 out of nowhere and starts talking about what's going on with hollywood and what he's planning

00:00:11.360 on doing with tariffs of people who are wanting to make movies outside of the states i have the

00:00:16.960 video here but rob why don't we play the video and then i'll read the story go for it the movie

00:00:22.520 tariffs yeah the movie tariffs what they've done is other nations have been stealing the the movies

00:00:30.180 the movie making capabilities from the united states and i said to a couple of people what do

00:00:36.100 you think i've done some very strong research over the last week and we're making very few movies now

00:00:42.120 hollywood is being destroyed now you have an incompetent grossly incompetent governor that

00:00:47.260 allowed that to happen so i'm not just blaming other nations but other nations a lot of them

00:00:52.840 have stolen our movie industry and i'm saying if they're not willing to make a movie inside

00:00:58.640 the united states and we should have a tariff on movies that come in and not only that governments

00:01:04.800 are actually giving big money i mean they're supporting them financially so that's sort of

00:01:09.680 a threat to our country in a sense and uh we can pause that rob by the way do you realize him saying

00:01:15.960 that privately ben affleck watches that and says good heck yeah okay so that's one two rob can you

00:01:22.640 go to the twitter uh to his ex that he put up or truth social that he put up because he breaks it

00:01:27.240 down fully on there i don't know if you have it or not if you have it i'll let you look for it it's

00:01:32.160 just trump said something about yeah he said so u.s president trump announces 100 there it is the

00:01:36.320 movie industry in america is dying in a very fast death other countries are offering all sorts of

00:01:40.580 incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the u.s hollywood and many other areas within the

00:01:45.840 u.s are being devastated this is a concerted effort by other nations and therefore national security

00:01:51.440 threat it is in addition to everything else messaging and propaganda therefore i'm authorizing

00:01:57.180 the department of commerce and the u.s trade represent to immediately begin the process of

00:02:02.580 instituting a hundred percent tariff on any and all movies coming into our country that are produced

00:02:08.240 in foreign lands we want movies made in america again by the way who was it that said we don't do

00:02:13.140 movies here anymore we go to ireland or we go to it was a two podcast it was rob low rob low and an

00:02:18.560 actor from uh parks and rec he was the brother from um stepbrothers the the oh and they said that

00:02:24.660 the fact that they make movies out abroad because it's too expensive here he goes yeah rob i put in

00:02:29.360 slack somewhere like deep and uh early in this time if you just go to x and put rob low movies a

00:02:35.180 hollywood he's basically saying it's cheaper for us to get a hundred man crew they may not be happy

00:02:40.160 about this though who though the the rob low well i mean he's not he doesn't want to fly overseas this

00:02:45.140 is it right here interesting that you shoot the floor there it's cheaper to bring a hundred american

00:02:50.960 people wow to ireland than to walk across the lot right fox right past the sound sages and do it

00:02:58.500 there crazy do you think if we shot parks right now we would be tom what are your thoughts on this

00:03:04.500 well first of all why is it so expensive to walk across the lot at fox and shoot a movie taxes in

00:03:11.820 california probably the unions taxes and unions no but tom but hang on a second tom this is my

00:03:17.060 question this is what i want clarity on okay i got it it's it's a more expensive to walk across

00:03:22.940 fox but ireland why not austin why not atlanta why not another place in u.s why do you have to go to

00:03:29.000 ireland so you mean there's not other places cheaper in america that's cheaper than hollywood for us

00:03:34.360 to shoot well there's so this is how it works you go to ireland and ireland looks at a stack of

00:03:40.540 money yeah and they say you know some of this we might have to give out in the winter as unemployment

00:03:45.040 benefits um so rather than spend it on employment benefits hey i've got an idea why don't we give

00:03:51.600 like 25 of it to a movie production company and then they're going to pay a bunch of irish people

00:03:58.260 who are in the industry to be a grip a cameraman because we got people over here doing that and they

00:04:02.520 do that now they're going to bring their talent because there's not an irish brad pitt you know

00:04:06.840 they're going to bring all the stars but you know what let's do that and that's an economic incentive

00:04:12.900 and suddenly now hollywood looks at it and says well if we got this incentive and then we pay people

00:04:18.540 this you know we could afford to fly them over there and stay in low-cost irish hotels and stuff

00:04:22.780 and you know we could we could film this now if you're doing something like highlander and things

00:04:26.440 like this great you know you could go film it in ireland if you're going to do weekend at

00:04:30.960 bernie's you know you need to be in the bahamas or hawaii right but so here's what i just the

00:04:35.860 incentives is what tips the scale i just asked this question i said why are movies cheaper to make in

00:04:41.560 ireland than in america forget about how expensive california is to shoot but why not in other states

00:04:47.140 in america and look what it says take that exact question and put it on there uh put yeah put in

00:04:52.160 chat gpt and watch what comes out so this is this is what we you know zoom in ireland offers

00:04:59.940 something called the section 481 a film tax credit of up to 32 on eligible irish product

00:05:05.280 cost that's what i just described it applies to domestic and international production and includes

00:05:09.540 labor local labor and some foreign cause favorable currency exchange rates u.s dollars go further

00:05:15.540 than euros in post-production low-rich government-backed production support ireland's government

00:05:20.320 actively supports the film industry with bodies like screen ireland providing funding and local

00:05:24.960 insurance service but smaller fishing crews irish crews are highly skilled but work with leaner

00:05:29.760 staff models less regulation that's a big one fewer permits more flexible labor laws and smoother

00:05:34.620 logistics reduce delay cost compact so rob then maybe ask the question compared to other states

00:05:40.740 okay so that's the one i was looking at and the unions have guarantees like they guarantee the year

00:05:45.420 or there here the unions have also have such a labor cost pat it's that every production will have

00:05:50.720 three grips and two uh you know construction guys and three painters they have minimums so if you need

00:05:57.460 something painted on the set you have to hire three painters or you need three grips and those are

00:06:02.180 the those are the staff guarantees so in addition to being more expensive they're guaranteeing the size

00:06:08.120 of staff and over in ireland it just said they're leaner and smaller yeah rob can you ask the question what

00:06:12.380 is the equivalent of ireland in america what is the equivalent of ireland in america you're going to be

00:06:19.920 if i'm not correct ireland in america in regards to taxes so let's see what it says georgia is going

00:06:27.040 to be one they offer up to 30 percent taxes 20 percent base 10 percent including georgia logo and

00:06:31.920 credits a lot of people go to georgia so that's that skill crew base so tyler perry studio is in

00:06:37.660 georgia diverse filming location okay then you have new mexico louisiana and north carolina so i guess

00:06:43.940 those two states if we're talking 32 percent in ireland if we're talking 32 percent in tax credit

00:06:49.760 in ireland why don't some of these states take that model and apply it now here's the thing

00:06:56.560 i don't know florida wants hollywood to come down here they've always been a little bit hesitant

00:07:01.900 and the reason for it is because if hollywood comes to your state guess who's coming liberals are

00:07:06.440 coming of course yeah so do you want that so there's also part of the risk where wherever hollywood

00:07:12.420 goes they destroy that city you know you know hollywood used to be in new jersey at first thomas

00:07:16.900 edison yeah thomas edison ran hollywood in new jersey and so over regulation eventually they're

00:07:22.840 like we're getting the hell out of here they went to burbank and watch what happened to burbank and

00:07:26.220 hollywood now they're getting the hell out of there so no matter where you move them who guess who goes

00:07:30.700 there the liberal yeah so i don't know i don't know i don't know the fact that he's doing this

00:07:36.220 uh to hurt a business like canada rob can you type in while you're doing i'm gonna go to adam

00:07:41.260 why is canada a destination for movie makers go ahead adam your thoughts on this yeah i mean

00:07:46.920 it comes down to a couple things to me tax incentives we understand that i think you

00:07:51.720 mentioned atlanta i think new orleans is one of the cities that also does that albuquerque new

00:07:55.260 mexico i even think chicago um you know people were trying to save that money so you have tax incentives

00:08:02.600 i understand that you also have lower production costs why are all the jobs shipped to china because

00:08:07.560 it doesn't cause a lot of money to make things so you ship it out to other countries so but the

00:08:11.900 other thing is that i want you guys to to weigh in on is the different locations of where you need to

00:08:18.320 shoot so sets look yeah not even so yes not even so much sets and look so like here's a quick little

00:08:26.580 list for you so i'm not sure if this protectionism is probably the best thing it might be a situation

00:08:32.360 where you cut off your nose despite your face so here's some of our favorite movies and you can

00:08:37.400 guess where they were filmed how about that um pbd some of your favorite movies saving private ryan

00:08:44.220 and braveheart what country were those movies filmed in scotland ireland not bad should have been

00:08:50.420 scotland actually titanic mexico random why mexico the water a lot um i thought it was going to be

00:08:57.480 montana no no um where was harry potter filmed the uk guys so uh lord of the rings it was in new

00:09:06.900 zealand the matrix was in australia so all of our favorite movies were filmed somewhere because of

00:09:12.660 locations because of diversity passion of the christ take a guess where that was filmed

00:09:17.340 new mexico not new mexico buddy old mexico aka rome and even a little bit in israel so you have to

00:09:26.640 understand like some movies you're gonna have to travel the world to get to but what's my point

00:09:32.340 hire american workers to come in those shoots so the idea of like trump protectionism i don't want

00:09:40.680 all right i get it i see what you're saying you're trying to protect american industries but forget

00:09:44.600 about american industries let's protect american workers so in that clip we said it's cheaper to

00:09:49.440 bring a hundred american workers to ireland i get that but bring the workers so they can make money

00:09:55.800 because i have family that are like i have my cousins and i have a lot of people that are

00:09:59.000 affected and aren't working because of this exact thing like life is really not it's not good in

00:10:04.320 california right now especially for those guys yeah i think my position on this i we've done a few

00:10:10.640 videos on this where we did a deep dive on what's going on the history of hollywood all the new stuff

00:10:15.100 that they're coming up with the how to get an oscar and all that shit that they came up with for

00:10:19.240 people like i'm done i don't even give a shit about what's going on is i don't know if if the

00:10:25.960 the this approach helps the creative industry i don't know i don't know if this approach helps the

00:10:32.960 creative because creatives are what they're you know they're they're overly sensitive and they have

00:10:42.180 to be able to go anywhere and they can't be in a box so i don't know if this works with the

00:10:48.400 creative so i think it's the other way instead of like um uh imposing a a tariff to hurt them

00:10:55.740 i think the incentive should be the other way around for the movie industry something like

00:11:01.720 georgia's doing especially if you want that market i don't know if you want that market

00:11:06.340 some states may not want that market so i understand why florida doesn't want hollywood to

00:11:11.160 come to florida they're like nah we'll get other people you take that out of our state let them go to

00:11:16.460 austin and destroy austin let them go to burbank and destroy burbank let them go to atlanta and

00:11:21.920 destroy atlanta you don't need to come over here i understand that part as well but uh what if he

00:11:27.680 changed the incentive where instead of these guys going to canada you come over here we're giving you

00:11:33.840 certain incentives and what if some states say you know what like you know how many many years ago

00:11:39.880 walt disney was known as a cook he was crazy so when he went to orlando and wanted to buy a plant

00:11:45.160 they didn't want him to move disney world to orlando remember so so he he opened up disneyland

00:11:51.000 first i believe then he opened up disney world if i'm not mistaken so when he when they found out

00:11:55.720 what happened to disneyland florida's land we don't want disney over here i think fact check me there

00:12:00.540 because i think it was disneyland before disney world so when he started going yeah disneyland came

00:12:05.040 first so disneyland came first became big then 16 years later disney world comes out even close do you

00:12:10.300 know how he bought up uh how he built disney world no how'd he do he bought land under other people's

00:12:15.520 names oh so orlando didn't know that he was trying to build disney world in orlando gangster so who

00:12:23.820 knows if if somebody wants to take a city like orlando what was orlando in 1970 nothing yeah go

00:12:32.320 rob can you type in orlando 1970 man it was just no pictures of orlando 1970 horse country orlando

00:12:39.520 1970 pictures not much going on papa let me see that i mean there it is look at that that lake looks

00:12:45.020 pretty good clean gators and you know lake okie chobe crocodile kiss me anyways tom final thoughts

00:12:51.900 before we move on from the story um my curiosity is is is the president's tariff request just the movie

00:12:58.080 industry or it's also post-production because post-production blends with video game development

00:13:03.040 post-production and video game development are very very similar these days good point and by the way

00:13:07.420 check this out yeah movie industry global 73 billion dollars that's the global movie industry yeah

00:13:13.340 video game industry how big is that 200 billion probably way more because there's a lot of nerds

00:13:18.780 doing nothing 282 and most of it is the and most of it is the back end and that fact video game

00:13:24.960 development companies do a lot of posts so my question is um you know why don't other i'm with

00:13:30.040 you pat why don't other states do things to equalize it number one but we've talked about that but number

00:13:34.540 two you know far bigger is is what's going on with video games because there's a lot of jobs that go

00:13:40.380 outside the united states vancouver has a giant base which would also be post-production video game

00:13:46.220 and montreal is an economic and uh you know uh in incentive zone in middle montreal and there's a

00:13:52.940 little tiny bit in uh toronto but actually not tiny tiny but uh vancouver and one of the largest

00:13:58.540 studios for ea madden football was made in uh vancouver my understanding quick question for pbd i

00:14:03.540 just for the for the families out there the parents out there tom just talked about video games i know

00:14:08.260 you were part of jam dad everything with that i'm talking about post-production as it relates to the

00:14:11.680 movie industry and the talent there's a ton of that in canada copy that pat uh tom do you let your

00:14:16.760 kids play video games whenever they want what's your protocol video games because i have a stance

00:14:20.800 on video games i think it ruins kids if they do too much of it how do you handle this listen so i

00:14:26.940 found out from humberto that the world is furious because this game where's that game rob that grand

00:14:33.520 theft auto was supposed to come out early and now they're saying it's not going to be coming out to

00:14:38.980 2026 what page is that on page 12 how are these kids going to survive with grand theft auto 2024 so

00:14:44.740 it's not going to be coming out to 2020 grand theft auto apparently it's like a billion dollar video

00:14:50.340 game drop it's going to be the biggest drop of all time when it comes down to a video game

00:14:54.280 uh uh you know this grand theft auto made to another sense going to be may 26 of 2025

00:14:59.140 from its fall 2025 release causing shares to drop nearly seven percent we support fully rockstar

00:15:06.480 games taking additional time to realize their creative vision for grand theft auto

00:15:10.000 is it 11 what is that what is v1 v1 is what is v1 version one no no no six no no no which promises

00:15:18.580 to be groundbreaking blockbuster entertainment experience the delay pushes the game into fiscal

00:15:22.720 2027 impacting booking expectation though take two expectations sequencer uh increases in net bookings

00:15:29.860 for fiscal 2026 grand theft auto franchise takes twos crown jewels saw grand theft auto 5 sell over 200

00:15:37.200 million copies since 2013 damn making it one of the best-selling video games ever the first day a

00:15:43.200 gta trailer releases the female lead drawn more than 100 million views in 24 hours okay so yeah for

00:15:49.920 what are these nerds gonna do without this updated video game i feel so bad for them it is a big industry

00:15:55.200 for us but what do you do with your kids listen my son has a 79 in one of his grades he hasn't played

00:16:00.960 a single second of video game for the last five weeks good if you have a c you don't get any video

00:16:17.760 and tom's seen it and vinny's seen it oh yeah and it's a straight up so for us they're standards and if

00:16:22.960 you you know then that means you have to read documentary you have to watch documentaries every day

00:16:27.680 certain books you got to go through but uh no what what did ray lewis say at the birthday party

00:16:33.840 ray lewis said um back in the days you know parents used to do what with their kids remember

00:16:41.680 when he said it was uh it was about uh love and something and now we just hand him over a phone he

00:16:45.920 says what did he say do you remember what he said in his speech he was talking about love he was

00:17:00.000 it's a tragedy i think it's a mistake i think adults are falling for it let alone kids so for me you just

00:17:05.200 got to create a guy messaged me yesterday a guy named taylor he knows who he is with uh kingston good

00:17:18.000 not play the video exams i said it's not easy to do it's a discipline that the father needs to keep and
