RUSH: So I checked the email during the break. You knew this was gonna happen, didn’t you? You’re looking at me like you’ve got — “So, Rush, ‘Is Irene Kennedy a looker?’ That was your question for Vince? And Vince said, ‘No. You shouldn’t think of her that way. She is the epitome of intelligence.’ Rush, are you telling us that the epitome of an intelligence official cannot be attractive?”
No, folks, I’m not — I totally understand the snark in the email. I kind of did step into that ’cause I was just being my regular-guy self here without any concerns for political correctness. I did ask him. We read the Vince Flynn books, you get to know Vince Flynn, you ask him about the characters, and Irene Kennedy is brilliant, she’s a boss. Vince Flynn looks up to here. It’s natural to ask, is she a looker? She’s a character in a book.
There’s no picture there. I’m asking the author, what does she look like? I chose to ask, “Is she a looker?” Guys talk that way. I’m sorry, ladies, we talk this way. And you better be glad that we do. It’s what makes babies. Well, it is. I’m sorry. My dad told me that, and I thought, “What are you talking about?” It’s right. Anyway, I did not mean to imply that professional women cannot be attractive, nor did I mean to infer from Vince’s answer that.
It was about this particular character, and that’s how he chose to describe her to me. She is. She’s a looker in the movie. She’s African-American. She is the boss. She’s the boss of a black ops unit, is what she is. She’s not the CIA director. Later on in the book she becomes the CIA director. She’s not in the early stages. But she runs the black ops unit, which Mitch is the predominant member of. And that’s who he loves and respects and admires. And it’s to the CIA director that Irene Kennedy goes to not ask, but to tell him what the black ops people are doing.

RUSH: By the way, Glenn Thrush, New York Times, decided to delete his Twitter account at midnight tonight. Too much of a distraction, he says. Why do you think that is? I’ll tell you why. It’s because Trump is prospering there, and they haven’t been able to destroy him there, so they’re gonna, to hell with it. If Trump’s there, I’m not gonna be. I’ll bet you a bunch of Drive-Bys drop their Twitter accounts. Thrush leading the way.

RUSH: You know, war, folks — the way to look at war, in many ways, not all, the way to look at war is it’s a bang-up business. It is one hell of a business. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why there always seem to be wars going on? Any day of the year there’s a war somewhere going on.
Do you remember Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous? Remember that show with Robin Leach? For a two or three-year stretch on that show, the big celebrity was an arms dealer made Adnan Khashoggi. He was Saudi Arabian. Now, they didn’t tell anybody he was an arms dealer. They pushed him as a Rolls Royce driving, multiple pool, multiple wife, brilliant guy, fascinating investor, smarter than anybody. The guy was an arms dealer!
The guy was a middleman for people that didn’t have access. Say you want to buy some tanks or some missiles or jets from the Department of Defense, you know, well, if you’re from East San Cordoba, you just can’t call and get ’em. But Adnan Khashoggi could get ’em for you, and he took a hefty fee, and that’s why he was wealthy. He’s an arms dealer. And there are lots of people around the world that do what Adnan Khashoggi did and does. They get wealthy.
War is a very profitable business. You have to make the weapons. You have to make the ammo. You have to make the support material, like the Humvees. Look at all of it. The United States of America sells a heck of a lot of war stuff, and there are a lot of people that make a lot of money from it, and a lot of them are in the establishment in Washington, DC. Now, some cases wars are actually thought to vanquish bad guys, too, and in some cases it’s a combination of things.
But the next time any president promises you a troop withdrawal from country X and it doesn’t happen, ask yourself why. And then when steps are taken to prolong the war, such as rules of engagement that basically allow our guys not to shoot anything, just prolongs the war, prolongs the need for armaments, so forth.
Yeah, then you’ve got guys like this pot-bellied dictator in North Korea launching missiles every day. That’s a guaranteed reason to make sure you keep making ’em. (interruption) No, no, no, no, I’m not saying somebody’s paying the guy to launch. No, no, no. Not my point. I’m just saying that it’s a big business. Uncharted waters for sure. Establishment has led to a lot of bad results. Numerous wars, 20 trillion — these from the smart people, the best and the brightest, people that are far more qualified than you and I to hold these positions. And what have we got?
