“I think they are going insane…”

If You Didn’t Watch the Oscars, You’re Not Alone.
RUSH: So we got the preliminary numbers in, and the ratings for last night’s Epidemic Awards, way down. I’ve seen the preliminaries at minus 16%. Those are the early overnights over last year. And since the early overnights are the major metro areas where most of the delusional leftists live in this country, that does not bode well.
By the time you get out into flyover country and the medium and smaller markets, the number is probably gonna plummet even further. So if you didn’t watch the Oscars last night, you are not alone.
They just disrespect America for the whole show.
Except there was one guy, there was one winner last night who praised America. There was one winner last night who thanked America. And he’s a Brit. His name is Gary Oldman and he won the best actor Oscar for Darkest Hour, portraying Winston Churchill.
Hollywood … people are dumb. They’re just plain dumb. They’re stupid. They’re ignorant. Whatever you want to say. They don’t know what they’re talking about.
Then you have what’s happening on social media. Facebook and Twitter are literally using algorithms and human decisions to literally wipe conservative content off of their platforms. Twitter and Facebook are intentionally and purposefully doing this, and it’s not gonna be long before…
I’m talking just a few short years. There will not be any conservative content that you’re gonna be able to find on social media — and then it won’t be long after that before it becomes criminalized.
But then when I see a map in San Francisco… They had to create a map of all the public deposits of human feces so that tourists could avoid the neighborhoods, and then they had to do a map of used needles that drug abusers and others have used so people — tourists, residents — could avoid those areas. I see wanton homeless growing in numbers in Los Angeles.
I see all of these liberal enclaves, the whole state of California, liberal cities, and this stupid sanctuary city business. The mayor of Oakland warning illegal aliens when ICE raids are imminent so they can escape the law! The mayor of Oakland essentially shouting, “Five-0! Five-0!” And then you look and you find out that the constitutional rights of American citizens are being eroded and that the left wants to take a whole bunch of them away while granting constitutional rights to people that are not citizens.
The goody bag.
This is what all of the presenters and the people that appear on stage get as a gift. The Oscar goody bag this year contained a key-ring-size pepper spray, a gel pepper spray, two personal body alarms, and a kit to test whether your drink has been drugged — and Harvey Weinstein wasn’t even there! Then they had a sculpture of Harvey Weinstein sitting on a sofa called the casting couch as though it’s a relic of days gone by. Two different kinds of pepper spray, and here’s Jimmy Kimmel describing this — audio sound bite No. 21. Jimmy Kimmel describing a penis free Oscars last night.
KIMMEL: Just look at him. Keeps his hands where you can see them, never says a rude word — and, most, importantly, no penis at all. He is literally a statue of limitations.
RUSH: Now, this was heralded as what Hollywood ought to be. These are the kind of guys that Hollywood needs now after all of these years of… Look, self-contained in its own bubble it’s a funny joke. But when you add the context to it and so forth, these people are just… I think they’re going insane. I really do.
