I\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-266532\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-030518-Kimmel-Oscars.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-030518-Kimmel-Oscars.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-030518-Kimmel-Oscars-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>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\u2019t watch the Oscars last night, you are not alone. Now, let\u2019s stop and think about something here. None of the excuses that the NFL gives for its ratings being down apply here. For example, the NFL says, &#8220;Well, you know, we got too much football out there. Thursday nights is just too much.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And, &#8220;Well, we have had a lot of injuries. We didn\u2019t have our stars on the field for many of the teams for most of the season. And there\u2019s too much football out there. Thursday Night Football. And we don\u2019t have our stars on the field.&#8221; And they never get around to mentioning Kaepernick and the kneeling and disrespecting the flag and so forth.<\/p>\n<p>But the Oscars, I mean, that\u2019s a once-a-year thing. You can\u2019t say that people are tired, there\u2019s too many awards ceremonies, although, you know what? Award ceremonies are to liberals what the Fourth of July is to Republicans. You ever stop to look at it that way? All of these awards shows is where they get a national stage to trash America. And they make the most of it. And when they do, just like when the NFL had all of these people kneeling and so forth and showing disrespect, what happened to the numbers?<\/p>\n<p>They plummeted. In the NFL they were trending downward anyway even before the kneeling began. And that might just have been cyclical. But the kneeling really iced it and made the drop significant and consistent. Well, Hollywood can\u2019t say that. They can\u2019t say there\u2019s too many award shows. And they don\u2019t even play the anthem at the Oscars, so there\u2019s no way anybody can kneel. They just disrespect America for the whole show.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-258910 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/FB-FB-122117-Churchill.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/FB-FB-122117-Churchill.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/FB-FB-122117-Churchill-300x158.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s a Brit. His name is Gary Oldman and he won the best actor Oscar for Darkest Hour, portraying Winston Churchill.<\/p>\n<p>And I got a note from a friend today who said, &#8220;Rush, I agree with you. The Democrat Party is in deep doo-doo. The Democrat Party stands for nothing that it can be honest about. The Democrat Party really has been losing elections in droves since 2010. The Democrat Party lost a presidential race with a can\u2019t-lose candidate to an outsider who\u2019d never been in politics before. The Democrat Party lost the presidency with an entire media industry opposed to the Republican Party candidate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another way of looking at it, the Democrat Party candidate favored, chosen, beloved Hillary Rodham Clinton had the entire, not just American, but worldwide media establishment behind her, and she still lost. And yet my friend says they own everything else. The Democrat Party may be losing left and right, and the Democrat Party may not have a bench. They may not have a clear front-runner for 2020, &#8220;But, Rush, they own everything else. They own the media. They own pop culture. They money movies, books, TV shows. They own everything. So the fact that they\u2019re losing left and right, it never appears that way to average, ordinary low-information voters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And there may be a point to that. There may be something to be said for it. I didn\u2019t watch the Oscars last night, but I read, you know, during the night, I read some of the jokes. And I have to tell you, I\u2019m long past the point of being mad about it. Been there, done that. It\u2019s like the NFL, folks. When the whole NFL debacle began, I just got sad.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I\u2019m not big into movies and Hollywood like I was the NFL. The NFL was a hobby. I loved it. I liked it. It was something I very, very much enjoyed and I just got sad when they drove me away, or when they allowed politics to creep in and the whole thing got corrupted and it was impossible for the NFL to remain, in my mind, what it had always been. It\u2019s just another area of America, another area of our culture which has now been corrupted and taken over by the left. It just made me sad.<\/p>\n<p>And the Hollywood is much the same way because these people are dumb. They\u2019re just plain dumb. They\u2019re stupid. They\u2019re ignorant. Whatever you want to say. They don\u2019t know what they\u2019re talking about. I don\u2019t know how much influence they have with average, ordinary Americans, but beyond all that the divisions in this country &#8212; I played golf yesterday, more about that in a moment, and after the round in the dining room and a guy says, &#8220;What do you think about Trump\u2019s tarifs?&#8221; I said, &#8220;Well, what does this guy want to hear me say?&#8221; I said, &#8220;I think they\u2019re a big mistake.&#8221; He says, &#8220;Yeah, right on.&#8221; Okay, got that over with.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-255971\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/BernieSandersFront-Runner.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/BernieSandersFront-Runner.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/BernieSandersFront-Runner-300x143.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And we continued talking about things, and then they asked me, &#8220;Rush, who do you think the Democrat front-runner is in 2020?&#8221; Well, let\u2019s see. And I started going through the names. I said, &#8220;Well, there\u2019s the Elizabeth Warren.&#8221; &#8220;Nah, nobody cares about her,&#8221; they said. &#8220;Well, Bernie Sanders again.&#8221; &#8220;Bernie Sanders, no. Come on Rush, Bernie Sanders is 95 years old.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I said, &#8220;You guys had better understand that Bernie Sanders remains the most popular Democrat presidential potential candidate that they have.&#8221; Then they said, &#8220;What about Biden?&#8221; I said, &#8220;Biden it wants so bad he can taste it. But Biden is gonna implode at some point during the campaign if he does it. He always does.&#8221; So Biden, Fauxcahontas, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders. Can anybody think of anybody else? Seriously. Can anybody think of anybody else?<\/p>\n<p>Is there anybody else &#8212; (interruption) Who? The Castro brothers? You talk about a been there, done that. I mean, how many years have these guys been living on the come? And they haven\u2019t even left home yet. Oh, yeah. Kamala Harris. That\u2019s the one I could &#8212; out in certain sectors of the country. Of course she\u2019s gonna be driving them wild.<\/p>\n<p>But the point is, who do they have? There\u2019s nobody. There really is nobody that lights up the country. There\u2019s nobody that excites the country. They\u2019re just in pathetic shape. And I\u2019m not trying to jinx anything here and I\u2019m not by any means overconfident. It\u2019s just that they are not the formidable foe that everybody thinks that they are. It\u2019s other things that present that obstacle, but not the Democrat Party. I mean, they\u2019re the people that get the votes. I mean, people in Hollywood, people in the media, people in the music industry and TV industry.<\/p>\n<p>Oh. Forgot the Oprah. But of course The Oprah has said she\u2019s waiting to hear from God as to whether or not she\u2019s going to run, and The Oprah is a clear reaction to Trump winning. The point of all this is they\u2019ve got nothing, they are just angry as they can be, and the way this country is divided right now makes me sad. I\u2019m being flat-out honest with you. I read some of these comments that these people at the Oscars made last night. They\u2019re just dumb. Beyond being politically leftist and so forth, the things these people think and the things that they say are just dumb.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-228981\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Homeland-BW-300x246.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Homeland-BW-300x246.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Homeland-BW.jpg 426w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>And I watched Homeland last night. You talk about a show jumping the shark and going off the rails? And I hate saying that! I used to love Homeland, and I know one of the founding creators of that program, Howard Gordon. I don\u2019t know that he\u2019s even involved in it anymore. I\u2019m kind of reluctant to talk about it. I don\u2019t know how many of you are watching and have not seen last night\u2019s episode. But what this season of Homeland is is what the left actually thinks of Donald Trump and what they actually think of conservatives.<\/p>\n<p>And it is the downright scary how stupid it is. It\u2019s downright scary just how plain dumb it is! We are becoming more bifurcated, Balkanized, and divided. There isn\u2019t any overlap, meaning there aren\u2019t any areas in which we have much in common. There isn\u2019t anything that binds us together as Americans, because a significant portion of this country doesn\u2019t even like the country anymore &#8212; and it may even be stronger than don\u2019t like it. Some of them literally hate it.<\/p>\n<p>And then there\u2019s a bunch of people that don\u2019t hate or dislike but they join the cacophony of hate and dislike because they think they have to in order to stay relevant. Then you have what\u2019s 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\u2019s not gonna be long before&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m talking just a few short years. There will not be any conservative content that you\u2019re gonna be able to find on social media &#8212; and then it won\u2019t be long after that before it becomes criminalized. It\u2019s being treated in certain social media places now &#8212; conservatism is. It\u2019s being treated as something criminal, and I\u2019m reading a lot of conservative websites complain about this, and it\u2019s understandable. They\u2019re upset that Twitter\u2019s doing this to them.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re upset that Facebook\u2019s doing this to them, and they\u2019re asking &#8212; they\u2019re demanding &#8212; that Facebook and Twitter be regulated by the federal government. There\u2019s some conservatives asking for regulation of social media because they\u2019re being aced out, and there\u2019s a part of me that says, &#8220;Well, you know, if you\u2019re gonna throw your marbles all in a platform run by liberals, at some point you have to expect something like this to happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I mean, if you\u2019re gonna go on Facebook and use Facebook to build your audience, build your subscriber base, and fund your operation, when Facebook figures out that they\u2019re enriching and making popular a bunch of people they don\u2019t agree with and they start pulling the plug, it\u2019s really not hard to understand. You have a bunch of leftists at Facebook, a bunch of leftists at Twitter, and they don\u2019t like conservatives, quote-unquote, &#8220;polluting their platform.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re not the phone company. They don\u2019t have to treat everybody fairly. They\u2019re publicly traded, but there\u2019s nothing mandating them. They can run their business however they want. But Facebook, especially, lured a lot of websites in. A lot of websites get all of their advertising revenue is shared with Facebook, and some of their subscribers, rather than building it on their own. I mean, it\u2019s much easier to grab an existing platform with millions and millions of people already there and then try to make your mark on that platform and get noticed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2018\/03\/02\/what-changed-jimmy-kimmel\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-266389\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-030218-Liberalism-HOLLYWOOD-SIGN.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-030218-Liberalism-HOLLYWOOD-SIGN.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-030218-Liberalism-HOLLYWOOD-SIGN-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>I understand the allure to that. Anyway, regardless of all that, the point is that while the Democrat Party is in a gigantic mess &#8212; and, folks, do not doubt me. In a political sense, it is. They don\u2019t have star power lined up to run for president. They don\u2019t have even one person that you can say, &#8220;Yeah, there\u2019s the go-to. That\u2019s the person waiting to be president. That\u2019s&#8230;&#8221; They don\u2019t have anybody in their ranks about whom you can look at and say, &#8220;They\u2019re presidential. They\u2019re a problem. They could win.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yet everywhere about the Democrat Party the American worldwide left appears to be unstoppable and on the march. The media has long ago ceased to be what everybody thinks they are, and the root of it is that there\u2019s just so much plain ignorance and stupidity on the left. It\u2019s the product of bad education, the product of bad parenting, the problem of Soviet communist infiltration for years now finally taking hold on university campi and so forth. And, of course, conservatism itself is not a bulwark. It\u2019s not unified, either.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve got all kinds of fractious behavior and frictional behavior. You\u2019ve got all kinds of animosity and anger and finger pointing on the right as well. The sum total of all this makes me sad. It just makes me sad for the country. It need not be this bad. It could be better, and I always hold out hope that it\u2019s gonna be, that at some point there\u2019s gonna be a bottoming out of some of the rot.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2018\/01\/16\/blue-state-meccas-sanctuary-for-illegals-poop-maps-and-higher-taxes\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-260731\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-16-at-3.07.34-PM-300x276.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-16-at-3.07.34-PM-300x276.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-16-at-3.07.34-PM.png 666w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>But then when I see a map in San Francisco&#8230; They had to <a href=\"http:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2018\/01\/15\/san-francisco-defecation-map\/\">create a map of all the public deposits of human feces<\/a> 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 &#8212; tourists, residents &#8212; could avoid those areas.

But, you know, I\u2019m conscious of spoilers for people that haven\u2019t seen it last night, but it\u2019s just stupid. (interruption) Well, I could give a five second warning, I guess. It\u2019s just dumb. You know what the goody bag last night was at the Oscars? The goody bag.<\/p>\n<p>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 &#8212; and Harvey Weinstein wasn\u2019t even there! Then they had a sculpture of Harvey Weinstein sitting on a sofa called the casting couch as though it\u2019s a relic of days gone by. Two different kinds of pepper spray, and here\u2019s Jimmy Kimmel describing this &#8212; audio sound bite No. 21. Jimmy Kimmel describing a penis free Oscars last night.<\/p>\n<p>KIMMEL: Just look at him.
