It would be we indict the media again. Nothing is as it is reported. Nothing may be extreme, but it\u2019s pretty close.<\/p>\n<p>We learn more about the so-called March for Our Lives. It is nothing. It was nothing as it was presented, nothing like it was presented to be. And we touched on this briefly yesterday. More data has poured in since and we will be able to update you as the program unfolds today.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-263957 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-012318-Cutting-Edge.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-012318-Cutting-Edge.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-012318-Cutting-Edge-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Roseanne TV show, there was a story in Deadline.com and the headline: &#8220;&#8216;<a href=\"http:\/\/deadline.com\/2018\/03\/roseanne-revival-huge-ratings-premiere-stuns-hollywood-prompts-soul-searching-1202354973\/\">Roseanne\u2019 Revival\u2019s Huge Debut Stuns Hollywood, Prompts Soul-Searching<\/a>.&#8221; Now, I mentioned this one too yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, that the point that I made about this, and I made this point twice yesterday, and I want to make it again, the Roseanne character is not a conservative and this show is not conservative.<\/p>\n<p>Now, don\u2019t misunderstand me. I\u2019m not knocking it. But with the context of this story, &#8220;&#8216;Roseanne\u2019 Revival\u2019s Huge Debut Stuns Hollywood, Prompts Soul-Searching,&#8221; I don\u2019t know that Hollywood will ever figure out why this program rated as well as it did, but there are a lot of people assuming that &#8212; and, by the way, here is the audience break down. This is fascinating. This was the number one TV show two nights ago, and it dwarfed This is Us and other recent, big ratings success shows. It dwarfed them.<\/p>\n<p>In adults it has a record in a lot of recent years. Eighteen million total, in the adult demographic, this has blown away everything. And so now Hollywood supposedly is soul searching. The number one market where this program had the highest audience as a percentage of that market was Tulsa, Oklahoma. But that\u2019s not what\u2019s shocking. In New York City, this show did not finish in the top 20. In Los Angeles this show did not finish in the top 30. And yet it had the highest ratings of any prime time TV show that anybody can remember in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>This is what is going to shock Hollywood. This is what\u2019s going to shock the media. Because don\u2019t doubt me on this: Everything is programmed to succeed in New York and Los Angeles, because if you do, then you pretty much &#8212; let me put it to you this way, and I learned this when we were introducing and rolling out this program. And I don\u2019t want anybody to feel insulted here. And, by the way, the Roseanne numbers kind of disprove this a little bit, but just in terms of numbers.<\/p>\n<p>For this program to succeed, we had to be on the air in New York because advertisers wanted their products advertised to that large market. And if we couldn\u2019t get on the air in New York, we didn\u2019t have a chance of going national. And that is true. I was told that, and it\u2019s true. I was also told this. Remember, we started with 56 radio stations. And the combination of the audience in those 56 stations didn\u2019t even make a dent in what our audience in New York was to become.<\/p>\n<p>And here were the facts of life. If we could get this program on in the top 20 markets, we would have 82% of America covered. Well, we went on to have 110% of America covered. We have over 600 radio stations. But that\u2019s just an indication of where people live. Now, the Roseanne show turns that upside down. There is no way this program could have succeeded being number one in Tulsa. No offense, Tulsa. We own Tulsa, and no offense.<\/p>\n<p>But for this show to have an audience of 18 million and to not finish in the top 20 in New York City, the Tri-State market, nor finish in the top 30 in Los Angeles, whoa! The demographics on that will blow your mind. So advertisers are gonna be looking at that, ABC is gonna be looking at that, all kinds of, quote, unquote, experts are gonna be looking at that and trying to figure out, holy smokes, this throws everything we\u2019ve ever believed upside down. We can have the highest rated show ever and nobody in New York watch it?<\/p>\n<p>Now, given that and Hollywood\u2019s supposedly doing a lot of soul-searching, do you really think they\u2019re gonna act on that? Do you think Hollywood\u2019s gonna start making TV shows that have no interest to people in New York? And further, why didn\u2019t this show have any interest in New York? Why didn\u2019t it have any appeal to people in Los Angeles? Well, there\u2019s a lot of answers to it. I mean, in both cities, you\u2019re talking about high concentrations of raw leftism, raw liberalism. And as part of raw liberalism, you have raw hatred.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-269202 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-032818-Rosanne-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-032818-Rosanne-002.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-032818-Rosanne-002-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But not only that, in Los Angeles and Hollywood, you have some of the biggest class elitists that you have ever run into in your life. And a program set with a lunch bucket family in Illinois is gonna be considered putrid by a bunch of left-wing elites. They don\u2019t care about those people\u2019s lives. They don\u2019t want to watch a TV show about their lives. They don\u2019t care about their problems, because they\u2019ve already made up their mind that they\u2019re a bunch of hayseed hicks. And to add insult to injury, they probably voted for Trump.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, these numbers are really astounding. I mean, it may be a little inside baseball here, but these are turn-the-world-upside-down numbers. This kind of thing is not supposed to be possible. You\u2019re not supposed to be able to win anything if you don\u2019t show up in the top five in New York City. I mean, there\u2019s a reason why all these highfalutin sitcoms on NBC and CBS are situated in New York City and secondly in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>If they tried to do a version of Seinfeld, say, in Oklahoma City &#8212; he-he-he-he &#8212; well, it doesn\u2019t exist. I don\u2019t think you could find a soup Nazi in any of those locations. But the end result of this now is Hollywood doing some soul-searching. You know, as Mr. Snerdley accurately pointed out yesterday, Hollywood media is a bunch of copycats. But they don\u2019t want to copycats this. That\u2019s why they\u2019re doing the soul-searching. They don\u2019t want to copycat this.<\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t want&#8230; I guarantee you Bob Iger is not running around LA smiling and beaming with pride. &#8220;Hey, Bob, we love that show you got about that middle class bunch of hicks in Illinois. Way to go, Bob!&#8221; This is not gonna get Bob Iger and his wife all the favorite cocktail party chat. &#8220;Bob, what are doing to us? You bring that piece of junk back and it ends up winning? We told you, Bob! We told you! You can\u2019t do that! You can\u2019t expose these people!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But the key that Hollywood\u2019s gonna look at here? More than likely, they\u2019re gonna look at this and they\u2019re gonna see what they always see: The dividing line in America is conservative versus liberal, in their world. They miss the class elitism &#8212; even though they practice it, even though they are card-carrying members of ruling class, upper-class elite clubs. And, by virtue of their membership in these elite clubs, they condescend and look down upon anybody who\u2019s not an elite, to anybody who lives in the Midwest.<\/p>\n<p>Upper or middle or lower, it doesn\u2019t matter. But if Roseanne\u2019s TV show is not conservative &#8212; and it isn\u2019t, folks. And I\u2019m not trying to throw cold waters on anything here. So why did the Roseanne show rate? What\u2019s behind this? What could it possibly be, if I\u2019m right and this has nothing to do with conservatism versus liberalism? In other words, people didn\u2019t tune in because they heard there was some brand-new conservative show.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-266389\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/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\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And they want to stick it to the libs and the conservatives feel sort of like reborn, &#8220;Because now we\u2019ve finally got a show of our own in prime time and we\u2019re gonna support it and we\u2019re gonna let people know we watch it!&#8221; Well, that\u2019s not what happened. The truth is something that the Hollywood moguls and execs and other media titans are gonna have an even bigger problem with. This show, in my humble expert opinion, attracted the audience it attracted solely because people heard that it was going to be supportive of the president, Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Not because it was gonna be conservative, not because it was not gonna be liberal, but because it was going to be conservative. What did I tell you yesterday? This Roseanne family as portrayed on this program is a bunch of Democrats from 20, 30 years ago. These are blue-collar Democrats that Reagan succeeded in getting in the eighties. These are the Democrats the Democrat Party no longer wants &#8212; no longer wanted &#8212; except at election time.<\/p>\n<p>And the Democrat characters portrayed in this show know full well. That\u2019s why they voted for Trump. You\u2019ve got the modern day Democrat Party leading the way in ruining these people\u2019s lives by virtue of open borders &#8212; amnesty for illegal immigrants who cannot speak the language, who will work too cheap to keep wage scales up everywhere else. These are forgotten voters by the Democrat Party, and Roseanne in her interviews even explains it and even on the TV show.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hey, we lost our jobs. We had no future. Trump said he\u2019s gonna bring our jobs back, and he did.&#8221; These are the kind of people, when Trump starts talking trade deals, their ears pick up. These are the kind of people when Trump starts ragging on NAFTA, their ears pick up, because they think NAFTA and all these trade deals have cut their lives out from under \u2019em. So what\u2019s Hollywood gonna do if it has the guts to realize that this program practically set a prime time ratings record because it was pro-Trump?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019d be bad enough if it was conservative, but it\u2019s not that. This is pro-Trump. What does the mainstream media eat, breathe, and live on today? Trump hatred. The entire reason for the existence of all mainstream media today is to destroy Donald Trump, is to force Donald Trump out of office &#8212; to humiliate Donald Trump, to embarrass Donald Trump, to expose Donald Trump as a fraud and as a pretender, as an unqualified bupkis who is a boob that\u2019s ruining things, who may have cheated with Russia in order to win the election.<\/p>\n<p>How do they go from that to copycatting this program and have a bunch of other series that are pro-Trump? I don\u2019t see it. But if they do (chuckles), what, then, happens? What if all of a sudden there\u2019s more than Roseanne? There\u2019s a couple of other prime time sitcoms or shows that feature characters predominantly, starring roles who are pro-Trump? You think the left is insane now? Wait \u2019til something like that were to happen.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-225957\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-007.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"325\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-007.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-007-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-007-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/>And what if it happens in the fall when they introduce new shows for the fall TV season going into the midterm elections and all of a sudden we have a couple of shows that feature starring characters that are pro-Trump? Now, remember our theme today. Nothing&#8230; It seems like nothing is as it is reported in the Drive-By Media. The March for Our Lives is the most recent example. I can\u2019t wait to get to those details for you. Something else that I also pointed out in great detail yesterday&#8230; (interruption)<\/p>\n<p>Oh, the Pence thing. Yeah, you can prove it. Here\u2019s another bit of evidence on why this Roseanne show is not conservative, folks &#8212; and again, I\u2019m not trying to throw cold water on anybody\u2019s party today. But what did Roseanne \u2019til that idiot Jimmy Kimmel on his show when he was ragging on Trump? She said, &#8220;Don\u2019t! Be careful! Because you know what happens if we get rid of Trump. Guess who\u2019s next? It\u2019s Pence.&#8221; You see, Roseanne is pro-gay marriage, and Trump never has come out for pro-gay marriage.<\/p>\n<p>She might think Trump is for gay marriage, but he\u2019s never said that he is. But she doesn\u2019t like Pence because she thinks that Pence is anti-gay. And that stems from the Religious Freedom Restoration Act in Indiana when he was the governor. She and others think that whole thing was an anti-gay piece of legislation or proclamation. In the Roseanne family, I think there\u2019s an LGBTQ character or a gay character or what have you.<\/p>\n<p>So the family is not cultural, and the whole thing here is not about left versus right. It\u2019s a class thing. It\u2019s elitists versus working class. The Roseanne show cast, the characters, that family is a bunch of working-class people that feel like they\u2019ve been forgotten and disgraced and displaced by their own country.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here is Jim in Monmouth, Oregon, as we start on the phones. Great to have you. How are you?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I\u2019m doing fine. Thank you. I was listening as you were discussing this the last few days. The whole rollout of the Roseanne series reminded me of something, and I got to thinking about it. It was All in the Family, and how All in the Family started out a certain way and had a lot of hype in its day. But as the episodes rolled on, the agenda became a little bit more clear what stereotypes they were trying to create and destroy, and in that particular instance they had an ulterior motive that later Norman Lear articulated.<\/p>\n<p>He actually crowed and bragged about what he was setting out to do was to change the culture. And so I\u2019m always leery when something gets this kind of release because the Catholic Church has the phenomenon of the imprimatur. You can\u2019t publish it without permission, or sanction. And I wonder why this is getting so much sanction. I think your discussion is important because I\u2019m waiting for the other shoe to fall, if I can put it that way, and find out what\u2019s behind this.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-269201\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-032818-Rosanne-004.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-032818-Rosanne-004.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-032818-Rosanne-004-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>RUSH: Well, there\u2019s a lot still to go here. There\u2019s a lot still to be learned. We have one episode. We don\u2019t know what the next episode &#8212; well, two episodes. They ran back-to-back. So the first two episodes have run. We don\u2019t know. Most of them have been written, and I think a large number have already been filmed and are in the can. So this opens up a whole lot of possibilities.<\/p>\n<p>Can this show maintain that audience? Can it maintain even something close to that audience? And I guarantee you the people involved in the show don\u2019t know that yet. What\u2019s the next episode that airs, what its point of view gonna be? The writers of this show are all liberal, and they have said, the writers of the show have said, &#8220;Don\u2019t judge us,&#8221; \u2019cause there have been a lot of liberal media types saying, &#8220;What are you doing with a pro-Trump character here?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, that\u2019s right, but you gotta watch all of it. Don\u2019t judge it all on the first two or three episodes,&#8221; these writers have said. What\u2019s that mean? We don\u2019t know yet. We don\u2019t know if this program maintains anywhere near this kind of audience interest, we don\u2019t know what effect that\u2019s gonna have on the network. They may not be happy with it. Folks, these people on the left, I\u2019ve tried I don\u2019t know how many ways to explain, illustrate, demonstrate, they\u2019re not like us. Common sense, all those other values, that\u2019s not how they live or what guides them. Their political partisanship is what rules them, is what governs them.<\/p>\n<p>And I guarantee you that even within the ABC executive suite, there are people right now who are mad as hell over this! Not happy. They\u2019re mad as hell. I don\u2019t know them; don\u2019t misunderstand. I\u2019m just telling you the odds are that some in the executive suite are embarrassed. Their friends are calling, &#8220;What the hell are you doing? A pro-Trump character? Aren\u2019t you with the program? Don\u2019t you know what we\u2019re trying to do here?&#8221; And they come out and do this.<\/p>\n<p>So these executives are getting their own ration from their friends, which is a big influencer, folks. Do not doubt me on this. It is a huge influencer. And there could be some people in the executive suite who do not need to hear from their friends. They\u2019re already embarrassed and mad. And so the story here that there\u2019s a lot of soul-searching going on.<\/p>\n<p>What happens if &#8212; let\u2019s take some possibilities. Let\u2019s say the program maintains its identity and Roseanne, her character &#8212; I don\u2019t like talking about these as real people. I hate to fall into that trap. That\u2019s another bugaboo of mine, you know, listening to people talking about characters as though they\u2019re real. I\u2019ll give you an example. I\u2019ll give you an example from the woman that plays the <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2018\/03\/13\/spoiler-alert-homeland-silliness\/\">president on the new season of Homeland<\/a>, her name is Elizabeth Marvel. She\u2019s married to an actor who had a prominent role in HBO\u2019s It Happened One Night. Think that\u2019s the name of it. Name is Bill something. I don\u2019t remember his name.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, they live in Brooklyn. And she is playing the president, which is supposed to be a Trump knock-off, and so her husband is being interviewed about whatever his new project is. And the interviewer actually asked this guy, &#8220;Has playing a president, which is a compilation of Donald Trump, has it changed your life? Does she come home in a different &#8211;&#8221; I\u2019m thinking, she is an actor, you idiot, and you\u2019re covering actors, and you\u2019re asking the woman\u2019s wife if playing this role has affected her?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-249797\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/FB-090517-Rush-Talks-TV.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/FB-090517-Rush-Talks-TV.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/FB-090517-Rush-Talks-TV-300x158.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>And the guy\u2019s flat-out answer was, &#8220;No, of course not. We\u2019re actors.&#8221; But this is what entertainment journalists think, that people playing these roles become these people and hold whatever point of view these fictional characters have. And they treat them as real people. Next time you read an interview of some star in a movie, make note of this. The questions have to do with the makeup, the psychological, the mental, the emotional makeup of a make-believe character.<\/p>\n<p>And of course the actor or actress has to answer it, has to swallow it and deal with the stupidity of these journalists because that\u2019s how they get the positive coverage. And so you\u2019ll have an answer from an actor playing a character, &#8220;I think she has a lot of pain. I think she\u2019s suffering a lot of pain. She\u2019s had a lot of problems in her family.&#8221; It\u2019s a makeup show, for crying out loud, and we\u2019re reading this crap as though it\u2019s about real people.<\/p>\n<p>The liberals to this day think West Wing was the real presidency. Damn straight. That\u2019s a good &#8212; (laughing) &#8212; that\u2019s a good example. The senate committee hearings in the Godfather movie. That\u2019s how it really happened. Anyway, what if Roseanne maintains this character\u2019s identity and the numbers don\u2019t maintain? What happens if Roseanne, during the course of the program, her character, what happens if she reacts to something Trump does and starts being not so supportive? What happens with the numbers? We don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t have near enough input or knowledge to make any kind of long-term projection on what this show means, beyond the fact that it\u2019s an entertainment show. But I\u2019ll tell you, the fact that people want to find an anchor for their own existence in make-believe TV shows, that\u2019s an interesting sociological study in and of itself, don\u2019t you think?<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: This is Tim. He is in Albany. Great to have you on the program, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hello Rush. It\u2019s an honor to speak with you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I\u2019m gonna make it quick because my phone might die here. Okay. So with your expert tutelage, my thought process takes me in this direction with regards to the Roseanne show. When this is on obviously, they went right to both sides. Eventually, she\u2019s gonna start trailing off. They\u2019re bringing all these viewers in, look how many they have already. It\u2019s all about 2020. By that time, if he\u2019s still in office, which they all think he\u2019s not going to be, but if he\u2019s in, all of a sudden you\u2019re gonna see Roseanne start going to the sister\u2019s side. This is Hollywood. They\u2019re all liberals. This is who they are.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: It\u2019s all a lie.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I understand. But since you have required and relied on my expert tutelage, let me offer something. There\u2019s no guarantee that the show\u2019s gonna be around by 2020. I mean, even if succeeding, you never know when Roseanne\u2019s gonna get tired of it and want to move out and do something else. And if it stays like this you might have a bunch of cast members quit like Sandra Bernhard, who hates Trump. Who knows about John Goodman, I don\u2019t know what he\u2019s gonna do, but there\u2019s so many unknowns.<\/p>\n<p>And then to say that &#8212; I\u2019ll just tell you this, Hollywood, let me try to help you out here. I don\u2019t know what you want out of this show. I really don\u2019t know if the people at ABC are cussing because this show rated well or not. Well, that\u2019s not true. I know that there are some people in the executive suite at ABC who are really mad about this, because the game is destroy Trump, the game is get rid of Trump. It\u2019s a cultural and class things, folks, as much as it is a political thing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-269361\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-032818-Rosanne-003.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-032818-Rosanne-003.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-032818-Rosanne-003-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>And do not ever underestimate the power of class. I don\u2019t mean high class, lower class. I mean elites versus regular, nonelites, special people versus the rabble, that kind of class distinction. And the elites in this country despise Donald Trump, and there\u2019s nothing that\u2019s ever gonna change that. The elites are never gonna accept Trump, they\u2019re never gonna like him, they\u2019ve gone way too overboard now. There\u2019s no room for \u2019em to come back.<\/p>\n<p>So you\u2019ve got people at ABC who are between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand it\u2019s the greatest news in the world that they\u2019ve got the highest rated comedy show in prime time. On the other hand, &#8220;Oh, no. This is an embarrassment. We don\u2019t want this to happen.&#8221; I\u2019m just gonna tell you people in Hollywood, I don\u2019t know what you want out of this, but if this show, if Roseanne\u2019s character specifically turns into an anti-Trumper, you can kiss that audience good-bye. And it\u2019s not gonna be replaced.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, you\u2019ve got Never Trumper all over prime time TV. You can\u2019t watch TV today without seeing Trump and his family and his supporters ridiculed, impugned, laughed at, made fun of. It\u2019s overdone, it\u2019s saturated, people are tired of it. That\u2019s another reason why this show attracted such a large audience is because it\u2019s a one-off. It\u2019s a standalone. It\u2019s the one show that does not make fun of the guy a majority of Americans elected president. That matters to people. Who they elected as president matters. It\u2019s not dogcatcher.<\/p>\n<p>So you\u2019ve got one show where people that want their president to be cast in a good light is by the lead character. If they turn this around, if the writers next year, later this season, if Roseanne gets ticked off at Trump, the character gets ticked off and becomes a Never Trumper, anti-Trump, whatever, you can kiss the vast majority of that audience good-bye.<\/p>\n<p>Now, you people at ABC, I know you won\u2019t listen to me because you don\u2019t think I know what I\u2019m talking about, but I know better than you do about this, \u2019cause I am more in touch with the audiences of America than you are. You think you\u2019re in touch with them, but you\u2019re not, and this show proves it. You\u2019re shocked and stunned by this. The brains at ABC can\u2019t believe this. Everybody. They\u2019re soul-searching it. They don\u2019t get it.<\/p>\n<p>But I do. And if they turn this character into an anti or Never Trumper like every other TV show is, then the size or the percentage of this audience that makes that show a runaway number one is gonna abandon it. And that\u2019s what ABC\u2019s gonna have to ask themselves. You want that to happen or not?<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: We\u2019re up to audio sound bite No. 3. This is Linsey Davis on Good Morning America today, ABC correspondent, talking about their biggest hit in years. And this is where she makes the point it was number one in Tulsa. It had a 65 share in Tulsa. Again, the Roseanne show did not crack the top 20 in New York and did not crack the top 30 in LA.<\/p>\n<p>Folks, I guarantee you, those two facts &#8212; not that it\u2019s number one in Tulsa. The fact that it was not watched in New York or LA, for all intents and purposes, has got them scratching their heads as much as anything does. That is so anti-formula. The conventional wisdom is a show cannot finish top five, top three without really killing it in New York and Los Angeles. So here\u2019s this report, Linsey Davis.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-269370\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-032918-abc-Logo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-032918-abc-Logo.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-032918-abc-Logo-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>LINSEY DAVIS: More people actually watched the show\u2019s premiere Tuesday night than the 1997 finale and all indications are that the show resonated with audiences across the country. It was highest rated, in fact, smack dab in the middle of America in Tulsa, Oklahoma<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, one thing about this. If ABC starts plugging this, if ABC starts making a big deal out of the fact that it won big in Tulsa &#8212; another big market was Kansas City. A lot of Midwestern markets. If it starts touting that, then it could well be that ABC\u2019s trying to stigmatize it. This is, in the liberal world, flyover country. I know you\u2019re thinking, &#8220;Rush, these are national television broadcasters. They want audiences all over the country.&#8221; Yeah, you would think. And in the old days, there was no doubt about that.<\/p>\n<p>Folks, I cannot tell you again how class oriented liberalism has become. And flyover country, all that red area, that\u2019s what elected Trump! That\u2019s where the deplorables are. That\u2019s where Hillary keeps talking and the liberals want her to shut up, at least until after the next election. But I guarantee you in the ABC executive suite, they\u2019re not popping champagne \u2019cause they\u2019re number one in Tulsa.<\/p>\n<p>And I\u2019ll guarantee you guys like Barry Diller are calling \u2019em and laughing at \u2019em over it. You know, whoever\u2019s running NBC calling Iger, &#8220;Hey, Bob, you own Tulsa. Way to go, Bob, way to go, man, what an achievement.&#8221; That kind of stuff is probably happening behind the scenes. I\u2019m not making fun of Tulsa. Do not misunderstand me here. We own Tulsa. Tulsa was one of our early markets, by the way, in the EIB rollout.<\/p>\n<p>But this, making a big deal out of that, just have to wait and see. &#8216;Cause if they start stigmatizing their own show &#8212; well, why would they do it? To maintain favor with their buddies. I guarantee you. This old saw about cocktail party invitations, it\u2019s correct. It may not apply specifically to cocktail party invitations, but it has to do with status within the elite circles. Next is George Stephanopoulos speaking to Roseanne by phone about her conversation with Trump. Trump called her to congratulate her. Roseanne is asked by Stephanopoulos, &#8220;You\u2019ve been pretty outspoken in your support of Trump. How\u2019d the phone call go?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>BARR: It was pretty exciting, I\u2019ll tell you that much. They said, &#8220;Hold please, for the president of the United States of America.&#8221; And, you know, that\u2019s about the most exciting thing ever. It was, you know, just very sweet of him to congratulate us.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I\u2019m gonna tell you what, that\u2019s a very class thing to say, but her face is now on dartboards in executive offices all throughout Hollywood and wherever they go to drink. She\u2019s not supposed to &#8212; compliment Trump? No, no, no, no. This is not supposed to happen. Stephanopoulos then asked Roseanne, &#8220;What does Trump think about the show?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>BARR: We talked about a lot of things, and he\u2019s just happy for me. I\u2019ve known him for many years, and he\u2019s done a lot of nice things for me over the years, and so it was just a friendly conversation about working and, you know, television and ratings.<\/p>\n<p>STEPHANOPOULOS: He does focus a lot on &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>BARR: Oh, yeah. He really understands ratings and how they measure things and that\u2019s kind of been an interest of mine too for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Come on, George, everybody in that business focuses on ratings. It\u2019s the measurement of success and failure. You know, I love these liberals. They come along and act like, particularly in the news business, news business liberals try to make you think they don\u2019t care about ratings, and they don\u2019t care about the bottom line. They have a higher mission. Their responsibilities are constitutional. They shouldn\u2019t be held to such arcane standards as the bottom line. Ratings? Come on. Ratings are not important when discussing the news.<\/p>\n<p>And they are just as important in the news as anywhere else. CNN\u2019s sitting there sucking hind you know what. They don\u2019t have an audience to speak of. And what audience they have they would lose if they lost their airport monopoly. And they sit there and, of course, everybody working at CNN knows they have no audience. And is it changing the way they do things?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-269341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-032818-Rosanne-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-032818-Rosanne-001.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-032818-Rosanne-001-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>For example, you know, this is a good observation. People at CNN have just seen what happened to a prime time TV show that did not focus on criticizing, ruining, ripping Donald Trump. You think CNN might learn anything from this? Hell\u2019s bells, no way. There\u2019s not a chance in hell that CNN will look at what happened with the Roseanne show and maybe figure out, &#8220;Hey, we might maybe do something wrong here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>CNN might say, &#8220;You know, we need to get our Trump commentators back. We need to reach out to Jeffrey Lord and bring him back.&#8221; Or, &#8220;We need to maybe at least on one of our shows make it a no-Trump-criticism zone and just see what happens.&#8221; But they won\u2019t do it. They won\u2019t do it because &#8212; well, you know all the reasons. Trump has to go. Trump and the Washington establishment cannot coexist at the same time. Stephanopoulos then said to Roseanne, &#8220;You think you guys are providing something that isn\u2019t being seen in movies, in television, and elsewhere?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>BARR: Yeah, I do. You know, the idea that people can agree to disagree is kind of missing from everything. But I think that\u2019s conflict resolution and agree to disagree are important things that I like to feature and talk about. And, you know, I haven\u2019t seen much of that anywhere. But that\u2019s what we need to do as a country is, you know, figure out what we don\u2019t like, talk to each other and, you know, discuss how we\u2019re gonna get it changed or fixed. I really hope that it opens up, you know, civil conversation between people instead of just mudslinging. I really do. &#8216;Cause I think we need to be more civilized than that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, amen. But it isn\u2019t gonna happen because there isn\u2019t any overlapping area of commonality. I\u2019m sorry to sound like a broken record on that, but there just isn\u2019t. The left isn\u2019t interested in any kind of compromise. Look how they\u2019re trying to destroy Marco Rubio simply \u2019cause he\u2019s trying to. Marco Rubio is trying to reach out to school students at the high school in Florida and they are savaging him. They are giving Rubio a bigger dose of mean-spirited extremism than they\u2019re giving Republicans that have no desire to compromise.<\/p>\n<p>Rubio\u2019s trying to meet \u2019em halfway, and they\u2019re doing everything they can to destroy him. And the reason\u2019s very simple: They can\u2019t be seen as accepting something less than what their total demand is. They\u2019re not gonna compromise with anybody. One more. And this is Roseanne on the Wendy Williams TV show. The question: &#8220;You deal with race and politics, all kinds of stuff. It feels like you\u2019re coming home again on your show.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>BARR: People ask me all the time, &#8220;What do you think they\u2019d be doing now?&#8221; And so I looked around at what working people were up to and what was going on with them, so I always imagined it, you know, for a really long time. And I always thought that, you know, working-class people are the ones who\u2019ve sent their children to these wars, and we are at war and nobody seems to know about it. But we are at war, and people are going and fighting and dying. Working-class people are the ones sending their kids.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: There you go. There\u2019s another reason why the Roseanne character is pro-Trump. He is for working-class people, making it great again. Now, this next one is right up my alley. This is Maude Behar in her constant state of anger, extremism, and agitation. This was this morning on The View ripping Trump, calling Roseanne for a specific reason.<\/p>\n<p>BEHAR: That plugs into what\u2019s going on in the country right now, which is that in families, when you\u2019re a Trump voter versus a Trump hater, there\u2019s a lot of friction and a lot of fights within the family. It caused an uproar in the ratings. And he called Roseanne to congratulate her, because, you know, he\u2019s a ratings whore, you know that. He loves ratings.<\/p>\n<p>WOMAN: He loves ratings.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-228386\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-015.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"325\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-015.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-015-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-015-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/>BEHAR: Yeah, we do too. You know, he may be lousy for women, immigrants, and the economy, maybe &#8212; we\u2019ll see &#8212; but he\u2019s really good for TV. Our numbers are up too.<\/p>\n<p>For crying out loud. He loves ratings, but he may be lousy for women, immigrants, and the economy. The economy, Maude? Have you seen the numbers? It wouldn\u2019t matter if she did. It wouldn\u2019t matter. You talk about a blockhead, nothing can get through there.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here is Janet in Tucson. You\u2019re next. So great to have you here with us.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So you learned in advance that the Roseanne character was going to be pro-Trump and that\u2019s why you tuned in?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah. I don\u2019t watch &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: How do you learn that, I\u2019m curious, how did you find out before the program aired that Roseanne was gonna be pro-Trump?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Probably something on the internet. I tend to get conservative emails, and I thought, &#8220;Well, shoot, I\u2019ll watch it,&#8221; \u2019cause I do not watch sitcoms. I did watch Last Man Standing. I loved it. Well, they threw him under the bus, and then they bring Roseanne, who\u2019s more outspoken, I mean, it was great. I loved it. It was a funny show. I laughed out loud and it has both sides. No, it\u2019s good.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, you mentioned the Tim Allen show. It will be fascinating to see what they do with that because it was doing well. It was doing well. Tim Allen is a public conservative. We\u2019ll see. Again, look, the Roseanne character is not a conservative.<\/p>\n<p>I made this point yesterday. I\u2019m not trying to put cold water on anything. The Roseanne character is pro-Trump. But this is not a show that is ticking off support for this conservative issue and that one. That\u2019s not what this is. Don\u2019t let this dissuade you. I just don\u2019t want anybody to misunderstand why this program has this audience. This is a pro-Trump audience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: What&#039;s Hollywood gonna do if it has the guts to realize that this program practically set a prime time ratings record because it was pro-Trump?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":269202,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
