RUSH: How many of you watch the program The Blacklist? You know, I do too — and they\u2019ve ruined it! They ruined it! They have been able to, for the most part, keep politics out of that show. It\u2019s a pretty good premise. It\u2019s a fun show. James Spader is the lead star on the program. Sex, Lies, and Videotape was the movie he was in. It\u2019s a classic. And he was in Boston Legal with William Shatner.<\/p>\n

\"\"So last night I\u2019m watching it, and we\u2019re on episode, I think, 15 or 16 of the season. This episode was obviously filmed last fall. You know, they start… Most of the TV shows that premiere in September, October, they start filming these things in July, August. So they try to get ahead and get a bunch of shows in the can so they can stay ahead. I\u2019m sure the same thing happens to Homeland<\/a>. You know, their whole premise last season was blown up by Trump winning the elections.<\/p>\n

So they had to modify it and then go back to a different premise this year. So the episode last night I\u2019m guessing was filmed after Trump\u2019s tax cuts were proposed, because in the episode, James Spader\u2019s character is having problems with the IRS. He\u2019s gonna be audited. The auditor shows up, and Spader is trying to work a deal with the building he owns to have it burned to the ground before the audit can take place so that his records will go up in smoke so that there can be no audit.<\/p>\n

At the preliminary meeting with the IRS uttered, the uttered shows up, and Spader starts — Red Reddington starts — in on a little bit of a monologue on how he doesn\u2019t like paying taxes anymore because what the money goes to. And he ticks off everything Trump wants to do as something that\u2019s a total waste of money. (impression) “I don\u2019t think so. Build a wall to keep decent human beings out of our country? I don\u2019t think so.” And then one of his partners that runs this building that\u2019s gonna eventually get burned down walks in before the auditor shows up.<\/p>\n

“You know, they told us! They told us! This tax cut, Red, it\u2019s gonna kill us! Guys like you and me are gonna get killed in this thing. Nobody is getting a tax cut except the 1%! Everybody\u2019s taxes are going skyhigh.” I\u2019m watching this, and it just affirmed for me that people in Hollywood are the biggest collection of singular thinking, brain-dead boobs that we may have in this country. There isn\u2019t an original political thought anywhere!<\/p>\n
