<\/p>\nRUSH: Here\u2019s the story from the Hollywood Reporter, shocked. The Hollywood Reporter is shocked that an anti-Obama movie is doing so well in New York. It is already the number two grossing documentary of the year. It\u2019s titled: 2016: Obama\u2019s America. It\u2019s the Dinesh D\u2019Souza movie. We have spoken of it frequently on this program, an anti-Obama documentary. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is from the Hollywood Reporter: “An anti-Obama documentary based on conservative author Dinesh D\u00c2\u2019Souza\u00c2\u2019s book The Roots of Obama\u00c2\u2019s Rage will expand nationwide this weekend after doing notable business in select markets across the country — including in liberally minded New York City. Overall, 2016: Obama\u2019s America grossed an impressive $1.2 million last weekend as it upped its theater count from 61 to 169 for a total gross of $2 million, the second-best showing of the year for a documentary after Bully ($3.2 million).” I saw that. “That doesn\u2019t include nature documentaries Chimpanzee ($29 million) and To the Arctic ($7.6 million). It\u2019s already the No. 12 political documentary of all time — a market that Michael Moore has cornered.”<\/p>\n
On Friday, Dinesh\u2019s movie “will be playing in 1,075 theaters in an aggressive expansion that comes on the eve of the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., which gets underway Aug. 27. … Some in Hollywood were stumped by the amount of business the documentary did at the Regal Union Square Stadium 14 in lower Manhattan, situated in a liberal neighborhood where films from the likes of Moore have done huge business.”<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll tell you, it\u2019s a fascinating thing to watch. I told you the story, Dr. Sowell, Dr. Thomas Sowell, he lives in Palo Alto, and they wouldn\u2019t let this movie cross the city limits in the film can, much less in a projection room in a theater. Dr. Sowell had to drive 30 miles to watch it. The theater he went to was so crowded, he sat in the balcony in the aisle, the only place to sit. He said the audience was at rapt, full attention. It explains Obama\u2019s motivations. And for many, it\u2019s the first time. <\/p>\n
Now, they are hearing about Obama\u2019s views on colonialism, the influence of the mentors in his life such as father and a man by the name of Frank Marshall Davis, a noted communist in Hawaii. And basically what you come away with when you watch the movie is that Obama considers himself a global citizen, not so much an American citizen. An American citizen is too limiting. He\u2019s a global citizen. And he has the global view of America, which essentially is that our wealth and superpower status has not derived from anything special or exceptional about us. That instead what we\u2019ve done is simply pillaged the rest of the world, with stolen resources. <\/p>\n
Folks, it\u2019s exactly what I\u2019ve told you from the get-go, that Obama has a chip on his shoulder about this country, that it\u2019s illegitimate, it\u2019s immoral, its founding was unjust, and it\u2019s his role, it\u2019s his job to cut this country down to size \u2019cause that\u2019s what this country deserves. From the perspective of a globalist who sees the world as this giant egalitarian place that ought to be a lot more fair and a lot more equal, but the United States has taken much more than its share, and it\u2019s Obama\u2019s job to finally level the playing field. And not only in a global sphere, but domestically as well. <\/p>\n
