00:00There's a strange weather forecast for Southern California this coming week.
00:03It's possible a hurricane might actually make landfall.
00:06And along with that, pigs might fly.
00:09At least that seems more likely after Adam Schiff, a Democrat senator who hates President Donald Trump,
00:15actually came out and praised something that Trump is doing.
00:19Trump announced that he wants Congress to pass a federal tax credit for TV and film production in Hollywood
00:25to try to protect American jobs in an industry that has seen a steep decline in the last few years.
00:31Now, the Hollywood tax credit idea is the brainchild of several different people.
00:36One of them is Academy Award-winning actor John Voight, who is one of Trump's ambassadors to Hollywood.
00:42And someone else who's been involved is Spencer Pratt.
00:44He ran for mayor. He came in third.
00:46But he has stayed involved to try to help save jobs in Hollywood.
00:50He met with Trump in the Oval Office, and he has also pushed for this tax credit.
00:54Now, tax credits are controversial. Conservatives traditionally don't like them.
00:58But many different states are competing with California for those Hollywood jobs by offering tax incentives.
01:03And when it comes to international competition, production costs are often much lower in other countries,
01:09not just because of tax incentives, but also because of lower labor costs.
01:12And so Hollywood studios have been making films in Canada, South Africa, and other places for quite some time,
01:18taking jobs with them.
01:19A federal tax credit would help Hollywood stay competitive in the United States,
01:23no matter what you feel about the economics of it.
01:26And it is, to say the least, unusual to see Democrats like Adam Schiff coming together
01:32and rallying around President Donald Trump to get something done
01:36that hopefully can help save Hollywood, an iconic American brand.
01:40On the right now it is, just the first Kanye news söyleован case in Canada is being pretty decent.
01:40I would like them to try asist, and now America wants to know that,
01:40I would like to pretend so.
01:40And imagine that the 민주 Party is not bad.
