<\/p>\nRUSH: I got an email during the break, changing subjects now because once I\u2019ve said something about something, there\u2019s nothing much left to be said.<\/p>\n
\u201cDear Mr. Limbaugh, you have not mentioned Trump and Turkey and Syria and the Kurds.\u201d How do you know? How does anybody know I haven\u2019t mentioned that? Only somebody that has listened to and not missed a moment could even think that. But that\u2019s not the point.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The email says, \u201cMr. Limbaugh, the swamp is universally and hysterically against the removal of troops from Syria by Trump. It\u2019s almost like they all have some deal where they make millions if we stay in.\u201d They do. And let me explain to you how this works. Now, again, I\u2019m gonna give you theory. I think what I\u2019m going describe for you does exist, but I can\u2019t give you names of companies, conglomerates, or what have you.<\/p>\n
But I firmly believe that war is one of the most profitable enterprises on the planet. That\u2019s why there\u2019s never gonna be an end to it. There\u2019s never gonna be peace as peaceniks desire because there\u2019s gobs of money in war. Because in war you make money doing both things. You actually make money four ways. You make money winning and losing, you make money destroying and rebuilding.<\/p>\n
So let\u2019s say that you are gigantic conglomerate A, you\u2019re an international conglomerate. You do business in a lot of places around the world, including the United States. And you have purchased a lot of influence with the Department of Defense and relative members of Congress on the House and Senate committees that appropriate money for defense. And you own lots of difference businesses. You have a construction business. You have a plumbing business. You have an arms business. You have any number other things.<\/p>\n
And what do you need? You need for countries to be at war. You need things to be destroyed so that you can rebuild them. You need weapons made and ammo made so the destruction can take place so that you can sell the stuff. And then when stocks run dry after a big war, you need to remake and resupply all of the militaries around the world that you\u2019re supplying.<\/p>\n
And any time there is an end to declared hostilities, well, it can be panic inducing if you\u2019ve got a lot of money invested in declared hostilities. So you have conglomerate A and they have spent their lives, various CEOs and all the people that work there in the executive committee, they\u2019ve spent their lives buying influence throughout the military-industrial complex. And they operate around the world.<\/p>\n
What happens if a company you never heard of actually is bankrolling terrorists to conduct terror attacks in some unknown little country in the Middle East, make one up just for the sake of the story. So you, as evil conglomerate A, you go finance a terror attack against the duly just government of San Cordoba.<\/p>\n
Then you go to San Cordoba and you say you\u2019ve heard that they\u2019re at risk and you sell them weapons for their defense, and they buy them for you. You have funded the terrorists who are going to attack San Cordoba, and then you got San Cordoba buying military means to defend themselves. Then the hostilities break out, and the terror attack that you have sponsored takes place against San Cordoba.<\/p>\n
You might even involve the CIA in this. You might even have as a secondary, tertiary employee a CIA agent who\u2019s on the ground in these places keeping you informed of what\u2019s going on, helping to spur things along. I think the web, the tentacles of operations like it is are all over the world.<\/p>\n
So the terror attack on San Cordoba happens. And the terror attack on San Cordoba is pretty devastating. San Cordoba was not prepared for it, a lot of people are killed, a lot of things are destroyed, but the terrorists eventually leave, or they take over San Cordoba, whichever, whatever, San Cordoba needs to be rebuilt. So the people that paid for it to be blown up via terrorism are right there to rebuild it, acting as though they had nothing to do with it, by the way.<\/p>\n
None of this is known. I\u2019m telling you, this is all an intricately woven web of deceit. But the idea that Iran\u2019s the only bunch sponsoring terrorism out there I think is a bit na\u00efve, and that there\u2019s all kinds of money to be made going to war. There are careers to be made and destroyed. You could even have some military people in your pocket. You give them the battle plans for the terrorist attack on San Cordoba, and then you enable this military guy you know to advise San Cordoba.<\/p>\n

San Cordoba\u2019s defense repels the terrorist attack. The general looks great and gets a promotion. Who knows, folks? This stuff is so possible, and it\u2019s into all this that steps Donald J. Trump, claiming to end it, claiming to drain it — and what did he do? He said, “We\u2019re gonna get out of the world.” He said, “The toughest thing that I do is sign letters to parents of young people killed in war.” He said, “It\u2019s the toughest thing that I do — and when it happens when I can\u2019t see any vested American interest, national interest, it makes it even worse.”<\/p>\n
As far as Trump\u2019s concerned, he\u2019s just following through on a campaign promise that if it doesn\u2019t help our national security, if it doesn\u2019t benefit us in any way, we\u2019re gonna get out of these places, and let these people hammer their own affairs. Now, in this case, we do appear to be abandoning our once great allies, the Kurds. The Kurds, Syria is gonna overrun \u2019em with Turkey and so forth. But the email is correct in that the swamp is going on bonkers over this!<\/p>\n
The reaction to Trump pulling out, these are people that… Again, we\u2019ve got some amazingly great, hypocritical contradictions. We got people who hate war, who hate the U.S. military, who don\u2019t want us anywhere, complaining that we\u2019re getting out of Syria. I\u2019m talking about leftists who think the U.S. military is the focus of evil. There are people who ought to be standing up and applauding this, if they are consistent in their so-called military policy, national security policy.<\/p>\n
You know as well as I do that the Democrat Party has many people on the left that hate war, don\u2019t want any part of it, hate the U.S. military, hate military success. We also know that the Democratic Party has numerous people in the upper echelons who love it and profit from it just like anybody else does. We also know this because when Democrats are in office, wars spread. The United States was at war longer and in more places under Barack Obama than any president recent history, including George W. Bush.<\/p>\n
(impression) “I\u2019m gonna get us out of Afghanistan. I\u2019m gonna get out! We\u2019re not gonna be there long.” He kept ratcheting up our presence in Afghanistan. He got us all of Iraq and put the troops somewhere else. Iraq\u2019s overrun. ISIS is invented and created because of Obama policy, necessitating us to redeploy soldiers and armaments elsewhere. A lot of Obama\u2019s supporters were ticked off. They believed him that he was gonna get us out of these wars.<\/p>\n
Well, Trump has done it, and (sigh) what are the odds these wars are ever gonna really be over? The money to be made with these wars being waged would boggle your mind. I don\u2019t mean to be cynical about it. I don\u2019t mean to be cynical at all. I\u2019m engaging here in a real life truth. But this again, Trump is pulling us of you Syria — and delayed. I mean, he promised in his campaign to do this rather soon after he was inaugurated. He\u2019s following through on it.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re told that this is one of the reasons Mattis resigned was because Trump was threatening to do this and Mattis couldn\u2019t talk him out of it and Mattis was diametrically opposed to it on military and moral grounds. But we\u2019re now pulling American young men and women out of this area where we have repeatedly been told that there\u2019s no real U.S. national interests at stake.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s one of these things that a lot of people, a lot of presidents, a lot of party officials have promised to do it, but here comes Trump doing it. The fact that there is universal, widespread hysteria about this from people who normally would be leading the way out of Syria, tells me that it\u2019s just whatever Trump does, there is going to be massive manufactured opposition to it.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: That\u2019s what we do here. We make the complex understandable. I\u2019ll tell you something else, folks, about Trump pulling out of Syria. There\u2019s something that doesn\u2019t get said much about the U.S. military. There\u2019s a lot of great things, don\u2019t misunderstand. But the U.S. military is largely, not exclusively by no means, but largely comprised of people from our middle class.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re the ones that volunteer. They\u2019re the ones who go to basic training, and they\u2019re the ones that deploy. They and their families are the ones that pay the price. And the military deserves all the accolades it gets, but Washington has gone bonkers over this, and all Trump is saying here is that, his words, the toughest thing I do is sit here and realize American young men and women are dying, and I don\u2019t know what for.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s largely the middle class that are making these sacrifices. And you know the middle class. The middle class are called average Americans, and they\u2019re looked at as this gigantic blob of the population, not a bunch of individuals, but just a gigantic blob. They\u2019re only the people who make the country work in practically every which way that matters, including volunteering for the U.S. military.<\/p>\n
The Pentagon\u2019s probably got people in there going bonkers today, can\u2019t believe this, you don\u2019t pull out, oh, my God. So forth and so on, because this is so out of the accepted norms. And it\u2019s classic Trump in that sense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
