RUSH: I have to share with you some of my thoughts of the Academy Awards and I do it from this perspective. You had four hours last night. You\u2019re a business. You\u2019re Hollywood. You\u2019re in trouble. Box office receipts are not what they have been in the past. You have four hours to make your case to the American people and to the world about your business and about your industry. That was the dullest, the most boring ever. This was the third-lowest rated Oscar show ever, and I have been told by a reliable source that has seen the numbers, the overnight numbers from city to city, if it weren\u2019t for New York and Chicago saving this telecast last night, they would have bombed big time. It would have been the lowest rated Oscar show ever. From the get-go, something about it seemed like a high school talent show to me. You\u2019ve got four hours, and you have — whatever you think of their politics — some of the most talented people in the country out there! <\/line> Every song was a downer. Every bit was a downer. The audience seemed bored. Nobody seemed happy last night! Even some of the winners seemed to be a little perplexed and curious. It was a strange thing. I haven\u2019t watched one of these in years, and as I say, I don\u2019t know why I did last night. Maybe it was because I was hoping for an implosion during the two Algore segments. He was called up there twice, folks. As I say, if Algore is your highlight, you are in trouble. In the entertainment world, if Algore is your highlight, you\u2019re in big trouble. Now, I don\u2019t want to spend a whole lot of time on it, because it was so bad — and I\u2019m a class act, as you people know, so I don\u2019t want to dance on the grave of this show, but I do want to offer you a little comparison here. You remember back when — oh, by the way, 1\/2 Hour News Hour<\/a> last night? I warned you people it was a rerun. I\u2019m getting e-mail: “Hey Rush, it was a rerun!” I know! I told you it was going to be a rerun last night. You people are going to have to start listening more closely. Next Sunday, March the 4th, is the second episode. I happen to think it\u2019s better than the first one. <\/line>Anyway, remember when the first episode originally aired a week ago yesterday, and, of course, here came the critics and all the people complaining. There were people that praised it as well, but the critics: “It was sophomoric. I could have done a better job than that. Horrible, horrible, horrible.” My gosh, and I tried to explain to people: Look, this is an evergreen show. They had to shoot this six weeks before it aired. There\u2019s not a whole number of ways that you could do specific issues six weeks out because who knows what they are, and if you do six episodes based on issues that are six weeks old, that looks old. That\u2019s not going to do. But I\u2019m watching the Oscars last night, and I\u2019m thinking, “No wonder these people mess around in foreign policy.” The whole Hollywood community — Algore, DiCaprio, all of these people — had to make some comment about being green, environmental, because that\u2019s easy. <\/line><\/p>\n

Flat-out, it is easy to go up there and start ripping whatever you think is environmental destruction — and, by the way, did you happen to hear Algore make a point? He said, “People all over the world, we need to solve the climate crisis. It\u2019s not a political issue. It\u2019s a moral issue.” I told you! I told you, folks: this is a religious issue to these people. The facts are of no consequence whatsoever. It\u2019s a scientific<\/emphasize> issue, Algore. It is not a moral issue. When you go out and call it a “moral crusade,” what do you do? You remove it from any kind of cost-benefit analysis or serious investigation, because if you\u2019re going to peg this thing as something that is morally imperative, then whatever it costs is irrelevant and whatever you have to do to deny people\u2019s freedom, that\u2019s irrelevant! A serious investigation? We can\u2019t do that because we have a moral crusade going on here!<\/line>So it gives them the right to say, “What, you want to examine our claims? How dare you! Are you a tool of the devil? Why, you must be a climate denier,” which they are calling all the people who don\u2019t buy into this stuff. But my point is, it\u2019s easy to get up there and pontificate on foreign policy or any other kind of political issue. Doing good entertainment is hard! It is very, very difficult work. It\u2019s not easy, even for the people who are very good at it and it looks like no effort was put into this last night whatsoever. I also was reading a blog last night by Nikki Finke<\/a> of LA Weekly, and she made an excellent point: “My gosh, if you have a foreign accent tonight, the odds are for you.” I guess it was DeGeneres that said that. She said, “If you\u2019ve got a foreign accent, the odds are that you\u2019re going to win.” It was Nikki Finke who said after the first half hour, “My gosh, we\u2019ve outsourced all the makeup jobs. We\u2019ve outsourced all of the lighting jobs. Are these jobs Americans won\u2019t do anymore in Hollywood?” Here\u2019s a little montage of just how it sounded, the announcer and some of the recipients, the nominees and so forth just to give you the international flavor of this.<\/line>ANNOUNCER: This is the first Academy Award and nomination for Eugenio Caballero and Pilar Revuelta. <\/line>JOHN C. REILLY: David Marti and Montse Ribe! <\/line>GWEYNETH PALTROW: And the Oscar goes to Guillermo Navarro. <\/line>PENELOPE CRUZ: And the Oscar goes to Gustavo Santaolalla. <\/line>ELLEN DEGENERES: This is the most international Oscars ever. We have the — record nominations for Mexico here tonight, which is a huge, huge thing.<\/line>RUSH: Yeah, and they were waiving little Mexican flags in the audience last night. (laughing) They were. People were waving little Mexican flags. This is the last thing I\u2019m going to say about this until we get to the actual Algore segment. I\u2019m not even sure I\u2019m going to do that, but they brought Jerry Seinfeld out. He presented the award for the best documentary, and he was very right when he said, “For the five most depressing nominees tonight, one of them is going to win,” and blah, blah, and then he started telling a joke. Now, some people say he was auditioning for the host ceremony duties next year, but I have to tell you something, folks. Purely in a business sense, what he did last night was idiotic. <\/line>As you know Hollywood is not doing well. The box office receipts are down, down, down, and the movies that do well, the movies that really gross don\u2019t ever show up in these awards. The movies that people really go see, they\u2019re never in the nomination list. Well, what does Seinfeld do? He gets up there and insults theater owners. That was the crux of his bit. Now, these guys, the theater owners, are not doing that well lately because the box office receipts are not good. The whole thing was just perplexing to me, and there wasn\u2019t any politics, other than Algore, and there wasn\u2019t a whole lot of controversy. It was just boring. The mood, the attitude, these people did not seem ecstatic or happy in any way, shape, manner or form, and I thought it was quite telling. <\/line>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Don in Lake Ronkonkoma, New York, I\u2019m glad you called, sir, and welcome to the program.<\/line>CALLER: Rush, it\u2019s great to speak to you.<\/line>RUSH: Thank you.<\/line>CALLER: Mega dittos. I saw part of the Academy Awards last night. I really had to get my snow shovel and rock salt ready for the overnight snow here in the Northeast. But I thought it was highly hypocritical to call the Academy Awards a so-called green event when it\u2019s detailed on the Academy Motion Picture Arts and Sciences website how the Oscar statues are flown into the event on a special United Airlines flight from Chicago.<\/line>RUSH: (sigh) Look… (laughing)<\/line>CALLER: (laughing)<\/line>RUSH: Finding the hypocrisy with this crowd is not difficult to do. It\u2019s all over the place. Look, since you brought this up again — I want to tell you audience base members. I had intended to let this go after my comments — but when Melissa Etheridge, who\u2019s up there singing the nominated song, the title song from Gore\u2019s stupid movie, James, you should have seen this! They had this giant screen in the back, bigger than the screen I have in my home, a huge, huge screen, and as Melissa Etheridge is singing the song, they put things up there like “Take mass transit and light rail as often as you can” and other little tidbits of advice on saving the planet. Now, this is the Academy Awards! Plus the song is a downer. “I Woke Up.” I don\u2019t even want to get into this. It was just a total, total downer, and all of these stupid things that Hollywood people will never do. <\/line>They\u2019re never going to take light rail. They\u2019re never going to get on mass transit. They\u2019re never going to do any of these things. I\u2019m watching this, and I just can\u2019t believe this. You know, Algore got at least $3 million of free political airtime for his issue last night from ABC and the Oscar group. That was one of the funniest things: I\u2019m sitting there watching this in stunned disbelief. My mouth was actually open. My mouth was open for so long during the whole song I was drooling because I didn\u2019t have the energy to swallow. I was in such stunned amazement at this. I wish I could remember some of the other things that they had on the screen up there. It was like, “Don\u2019t use toilet paper, use leaves.” It wasn\u2019t that, but it was things like that, and I\u2019m looking out in the audience, and of course there\u2019s nobody in that crowd that\u2019s going to do anything of the sort. Here, try this. I want you to grab audio sound bite #6. You gotta get this. This is Joan Rivers last night on the TV Guide Channel, before the Oscars started, and she had this exchange with one of the producers of Gore\u2019s idiot move, Leslie Chilcott. Listen. <\/line><\/p>\n

RIVERS: Leslie Chilcott, who was the producer of An Inconvenient Truth, because she is wearing a gown that is biodegradable. Explain to me about your gown.<\/line>CHILCOTT: It is organic cotton and bamboo fiber. It\u2019s a brand-new organic bamboo fabric that just came out, just a few weeks old. <\/line>RIVERS: Did you plan to wear something like this and you just were waiting to find the fabric, or was this just luck?<\/line>CHILCOTT: I was really trying to either wear vintage, to go with the recycling theme, or to wear something organic.<\/line>RUSH: Bamboo fabric now, ladies and gentlemen. You know the panda bears? We\u2019re already crowding them out of their diet with all of the bamboo steamers that are out there. Now, if they\u2019re going to use bamboo and put it on women\u2019s clothes, it\u2019s going to cause a shortage of the primary foodstuff of pandas. (laughing) I\u2019m watching all this stuff and my head is spinning. But the greatest part of the night was when all those idiotic little tips of advice were showing up behind Melissa Etheridge warbling this stupid tune. Mike in Pittsburgh, you\u2019re next on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/line>CALLER: Hello, Rush. Good to talk to you.<\/line>RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/line>CALLER: Hey, I was listening to Algore last night and he was talking about this — and repeating what you had said — this being a moral issue, and I know myself, I have a couple of quads, and I have a pleasure boat. <\/line>RUSH: What\u2019s a quad? <\/line>CALLER: An ATV, a small, four-wheel drive, uh, craft.<\/line>RUSH: One of these things running around on the beach?<\/line>CALLER: There you go.<\/line>RUSH: All right.<\/line>CALLER: I\u2019m thinking, every time I get on this, am I an immoral person? Because I\u2019m not using these for transportation. I\u2019m using them for fun. I\u2019m burning fossil fuel just for my own enjoyment.<\/line>RUSH: Yeah, and you\u2019re disturbing the natural tranquility of the beach. You\u2019re putting tracks in there and noise, all that.<\/line>CALLER: But I\u2019m also burning all this fuel.<\/line>RUSH: Yeah. You\u2019re totally sinning. You\u2019re a reprobate! Look, I\u2019ll tell you, when you call it a “moral crusade,” folks, as Gore did last night, you remove it from any kind of cost-benefit analysis or any serious investigation. That was a purposefully used word. <\/line><\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line>RUSH: Here\u2019s Ryan in Hollywood. Ryan, thanks for waiting, and welcome to the EIB Network, sir.<\/line>CALLER: Hey thanks a lot, Rush. I just wanted to give a comment here. After watching the awards show last night, I decided that Hollywood is totally out of touch with the rest of America. They have no idea what people really want to see out there and I think the awards show kind of just —<\/line>RUSH: Well, let me address that. There are two schools of thought on this. Let\u2019s say that you… Well, let\u2019s just talk about these people. Let\u2019s say that you\u2019re the Academy and you\u2019ve got these awards every year, and you\u2019ve got on ABC four hours of prime-time television in America and around the world. Now, you can look at this opportunity in one of two ways. You can say, ‘Okay, we\u2019re here to serve our audience and we\u2019re here to entertain our audience, and we are here to build upon the trust that our audience has with us and do a show that the audience would like to see, that exposes our talents, that airs our abilities,” and so forth. Or they could look at it as total insiders and say, “Look, this is our night, and we\u2019re awarding people within our business for their achievements and their accomplishments based on votes of people in our business. We\u2019re not tallying the votes of the movie-going public. We\u2019re not tallying the votes of anybody else. This is what we think,” and I think more and more Hollywood has chosen the latter way to go, which is fine. <\/line>They can do with it whatever they want but they\u2019re passing up a great opportunity, because they\u2019re in some financial trouble. DVD sales are leveling off. Box office receipts are down. Just the occasional exception comes out and scores big at the box office. Some of the most popular movies, some of the biggest grossers, the movies of the largest audience never show up. They never get nominated, in practically any category whatsoever. So it appears that Hollywood has chosen the latter. These people are liberals. You have to understand something, and this is something that\u2019s always perplexed me about them, and it perplexes me about the Drive-By Media. They have customers. The Drive-By Media has customers and Hollywood has customers. If it weren\u2019t for the movie-going public and DVD sales and all these other things, I don\u2019t know where the money to pay Hollywood people would come from. <\/line>They seem uninterested in that. They want to preach and they want to instruct. This comes from basic liberalism, arrogance and condescension. They\u2019re better than everybody else. They\u2019re elitists. They are smarter than everybody else. It\u2019s the same thing with the Drive-By Media. It\u2019s the one business I know of where the customer is always wrong. Newspapers have these ombudsmen where if you don\u2019t like something in the paper, you can write the ombudsman or call the ombudsman. The ombudsman will then write a little column once a week of what he thinks was wrong in the paper, but nothing is ever going to change because of this. Now, let me throw myself in this mix here since we\u2019re discussing this, because I have the same challenge, and I\u2019ve mentioned this to you people before. When I moved to New York in 1988, I had a goal — and that was to become the most listened to person on radio. I figured there were ways of doing this, and that was connecting and relating to and respecting the audience, you, not looking down, not condescending, not assuming that you\u2019re a bunch of ignorant oafs and won\u2019t have the ability to understand what I do. <\/line><\/p>\n

I eschewed public relations people. We didn\u2019t go out and have all these giant campaigns that suggested this show was hot. You made it hot! The audience made this show what it is: your willingness to listen, your admitting when asked that you listen to it, and so this is the most listened to radio talk show in the country. We still don\u2019t have any PR people. We\u2019re not out there doing a lot of spin. There\u2019s no buzz about this program being big, but there are a lot of radio shows that don\u2019t have anywhere near the size of this audience who do get a lot of spin, a lot of buzz, and they are portrayed as much bigger and having much more impact than they ever have had or will have. Now, choosing between the two, I\u2019d rather choose what I have. I\u2019d rather be a legitimate number one with no buzz and no spin, rather than an artificial number one said to be big and important when it\u2019s not true. Why would I want to live a lie? <\/line>You translate this in the Drive-By Media. They obviously are not interested in acquiring and holding a large audience. They\u2019re interested in an agenda and pushing it and — well, you might say that their audience is liberals and that they serve that audience, but at the same time they compromise the so-called sacred principles of journalism in the process because obviously they choose sides. They have an agenda, and there are favored people and then there are others that never get a break from them, and you know whom I\u2019m talking about and what side of the political aisle they sit on. In Hollywood, it\u2019s gotten to the point here where when they think their most artistic works and their really important things are rejected, don\u2019t do well at the box office, Hollywood, rather than saying, “Hmm, what do we have to do to change this?” What they do is say, “Well, you know, the audience doesn\u2019t get it, but we\u2019re about art and we\u2019re going to continue to do the art that we want to do, and our awards show is going to be devoted to that,” then they\u2019ll go out and do movies that really do earn a lot of money. <\/line>They\u2019ll go out and earn the money necessary with the kind of movies people want to see, but when it comes time to do their awards show, those movies get ignored and the audience that attended them is ignored, and so it becomes just a celebrity gab fest and a train wreck for the awards show. They\u2019re free to do what they want with this, but whether they\u2019re out of touch or in touch, I don\u2019t think they care. In fact, I think they prefer to be out of touch in the sense that they refuse to come down to the level of the average American for their art.<\/line><\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line>RUSH: Jacquelyn in, what is it, Kenai, Alaska? Hi, Jacquelyn. Welcome to the program.<\/line>CALLER: Hello. <\/line>RUSH: Hi.<\/line>CALLER: Do you hear me?<\/line>RUSH: Yes, I hear you just fine. You\u2019re a woman.<\/line>CALLER: Okay. It\u2019s big thrill to talk to you. So this is a very exciting day for me.<\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Thank you very much. I appreciate that.<\/line>CALLER: Listen, are you actually in the running? There\u2019s a little bit of confusion among some of my colleagues about are you an official candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize?<\/line>RUSH: (laughing) Well, there are two ways to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. One is for the Nobel Committee itself to nominate you.<\/line>CALLER: Uh-huh.<\/line><\/a>RUSH: And the other is unsolicited nominations. It\u2019s not clear when you go to their website whether unsolicited nominations are accepted. The case could be made for both ways. My nomination for the peace prize was made by the Landmark Legal Foundation and submitted to the Nobel Committee, and they have not rejected it. It\u2019s gotten to them, and we haven\u2019t heard anything from them rejecting it, so we\u2019re taking it as a serious nomination.<\/line>CALLER: Well, listen, if it came down to where it was between you and Algore, whose chances would be better, say if they had to do a debate? Who do you think would be the stronger candidate?<\/line>RUSH: (laughing) No, no. Wrong question. There\u2019s no question I\u2019m the stronger candidate for peace. But who would get the award is an entirely different matter. It\u2019s not who\u2019s the stronger candidate. You tell me: what does global warming or dealing with the so-called climate crisis have to do with world peace?<\/line>CALLER: Well, I have to give Al Gore this, that it\u2019s not a bad legacy to at least open people\u2019s eyes and be a good steward of the planet and to really think about our habits. You know, he\u2019s an intelligent man, and whether or not you agree with the global warming issue being caused by us, I believe that he has, you know, good intentions and — and he\u2019s intelligent, and I have to give him credit for that. I just really can\u2019t write him off as a nut.<\/line>RUSH: Well, I\u2019m glad you said that because the people that designed the war on poverty had great intentions, but they destroyed the black family. The people that designed all these other social programs had great intentions, but they failed miserably. I want to honor results. Anybody can be honored for their great… I mean, everybody has good intentions except criminals.<\/line>CALLER: Okay. On another note, you know, the polygamist thing, everyone knows there was a big interview not too long ago where they had one of the biggest polygamists in Canada, it was one of the nightly news shows that did an hour long look at their life, and it\u2019s the women that bring home the money. The men, it\u2019s not really their worry about where the money is coming from. The wives go out to work during the day.<\/line>RUSH: Even better.<\/line>CALLER: You can\u2019t tell me that there\u2019s not a little bit of Viagra going on there, I\u2019m sorry, but I have to think it\u2019s a prime market right there.<\/line>RUSH: How do you know that?<\/line>CALLER: Oh, come on, Rush. These guys are 50, 60 years old. Come on.<\/line>RUSH: That doesn\u2019t mean anything.<\/line>CALLER: Well, I don\u2019t know.<\/line>RUSH: Well, how do you know? <\/line>CALLER: (cackle)<\/line>RUSH: You just said you don\u2019t know. Look at what you\u2019re doing. You\u2019re assuming all kinds of things, and you\u2019re imbuing tremendous success and progress and great works to Algore when he\u2019s done nothing but concoct a documentary that\u2019s full of falsehoods and untruths.<\/line>CALLER: You know what? Listen, I think Bush could redeem himself just a little bit more if he could really learn to pronounce “nuclear” the correct way.<\/line>RUSH: Are we having a conversation or are we just playing ping-pong back in here with sentences?<\/line>CALLER: Okay, thanks.<\/line>RUSH: You bet. That\u2019s Jacquelyn from Kenai, Alaska. There may be something to this global warming thing up there.<\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
