RUSH: We observe cultural shifts here. This is one of the things that I spend a lot of time doing, and I\u2019ve noticed some things. I didn\u2019t watch the Emmys last night, but hardly did anybody else, either. We may have a record low viewership for the Emmys last night. I don\u2019t care what you say, if you did watch it, if you\u2019ve heard about it, sure, it was a three hour or however long it went bash, humiliate, embarrass Trump fest. But that\u2019s not the way to look at it. The way to look at it is Hollywood, in its most prestigious awards show for the television industry, devoted all three hours to Donald Trump. Donald Trump, in a strict owning of media time, if you simply look at it the way a lot of people do, the old saw, it doesn\u2019t matter what they say, as long as they spell your name right, Donald Trump owned it.<\/p>\n
The best thing these clowns could do — and they\u2019re, I think, incapable of it — is to ignore him. But the reason they won\u2019t, the reason they did that last night, they\u2019re talking to each other. They are expressing their bona fides to each other. They\u2019re letting everybody in the industry know that they\u2019re all on the same “we hate Trump” page. That\u2019s the purpose of it. So as to not be mistaken, not to be confused, they don\u2019t want the powers that be in Hollywood to think there\u2019s anybody in there that is in the Trump camp. So they went overboard making sure everybody in that industry knows they hate Trump.<\/p>\n
It was political correctness on display. I don\u2019t think anybody\u2019s gonna portray it that way, but that, to me, is what it was, \u2019cause it was so over the top, it was unnatural. People are not capable of that much hatred. It had to be, some of it had to be manufactured, and the reason it was is because they are talking to each other. They are assuring each other that they are still in the politically correct place to be, and that is Trump hatred.<\/p>\n
And, in the meantime, the audience continues to shrink. The early numbers make it look like it could beat last year\u2019s record low by just a little bit, but even if it\u2019s not last year\u2019s record low, it is way, way down from what the Emmys used to be. And I just know, folks, do not doubt me on this, that the people who did watch it are not all Trump haters. And the people that watched that show I\u2019m sure had to, “Okay, okay, we get it, you hate Trump.” In other words, there\u2019s going to be some degree, some level of backlash that will never be recorded because pollsters and Drive-Bys will not even think that that display last night could backfire.<\/p>\n
