Speaker 1: Well, first of all, Happy Thanksgiving everyone, and I hope
Speaker 1: you're having a beautiful day with your family or spending
Speaker 1: time with your loved ones. I'm know I'm home spending
Speaker 1: time with my family on this Thanksgiving, So Happy Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: For this episode, this is an interesting one because we're
Speaker 1: going to talk to General Michael Flynn. A lot has
Speaker 1: been written about him, a lot has been said about him,
Speaker 1: but we're going to get to the bottom of it
Speaker 1: with the man himself. Now, if you look at Michael
Speaker 1: Flynn's resume, he's done so much for this country. You know.
Speaker 1: He began his thirty three year Army career as a
Speaker 1: second lieutenant in military intelligence. He went on to serve
Speaker 1: as the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency in two
Speaker 1: thousand and fourteen. He went on to serve as President
Speaker 1: Trump's National security advisor as well. So he's worked for
Speaker 1: both Democrat presidents with Obama as well as Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: But his time as National Security Advisor was short, and
Speaker 1: the reason why it was short is that a phone
Speaker 1: call was lead that he had when he was part
Speaker 1: of the incoming administration before he took the helm as
Speaker 1: National Security Advisor with then Russian Ambassador Sergey kiss leak.
Speaker 1: Now someone broke the law and releasing this phone call
Speaker 1: that he had had this classified information to try to
Speaker 1: paint a narrative, and this is part of that broader
Speaker 1: narrative that the Left was waging against Donald Trump and
Speaker 1: his team that there was this collusion, that there was
Speaker 1: Russia collusion. In short, what happened was the FBI skirted
Speaker 1: protocol and not advising the White House and not telling
Speaker 1: the White House that they're going to have this conversation
Speaker 1: with Michael Flynn, and they interviewed him. Pretty obvious it
Speaker 1: was a trap because you can even look at a
Speaker 1: handwritten note that was released from the former FBI Counterintelligence
Speaker 1: Director Bill Prestep following a meeting that he had had
Speaker 1: with then FBI Director James Comey and then Director Andrew McCabe,
Speaker 1: and it says this, what's her goal truth slash admission
Speaker 1: or to get him to lie so we can prosecute
Speaker 1: him or get him fired. So you can kind of
Speaker 1: see what the FBI is objective was with going to
Speaker 1: go an interview Michael Flynn. So let's talk to him
Speaker 1: about that. What does he think the objective was? What
Speaker 1: was that experience like to be on the receiving end
Speaker 1: to face the weaponization of government. And as someone who
Speaker 1: has given so much to his country, as someone who
Speaker 1: has seen the utter belly of the intelligence community, the
Speaker 1: belly of the beast, who's been inside it. What reforms
Speaker 1: should happen? What should the next Republican president do to
Speaker 1: right the ship? You know? And it's sad that he
Speaker 1: had to go through all of that because after the fact,
Speaker 1: you have people like Center Chuck Grassley, who was an
Speaker 1: institution guy of the phone call that Michael Flynn had.
Speaker 1: He says this, He said there was nothing and proper
Speaker 1: about his call, and the FBI knew it. Then you
Speaker 1: have former Attorney General Bill Barr who said that basically
Speaker 1: what Komy and the FBI officials were doing was to
Speaker 1: set up Flynn in a perjury trap. We'll get into
Speaker 1: all of that with General Michael Flynn, and we'll also
Speaker 1: talk about his new children's book, The Night the Snow
Speaker 1: Monster Attacked. You listen to the conversation, come to your
Speaker 1: own conclusion. What do you think after listening to this
Speaker 1: interview with General Michael Flynn? Stay tuned. The first off,
Speaker 1: General Flynn, Happy Thanksgiving. Hopefully you're taking some time to
Speaker 1: spend with your family and enjoying the holidays. Yeah, thanks LUSA,
Speaker 1: and thanks for having me on. I appreciate it, and
Speaker 1: I appreciate all that you do and represent, you know,
Speaker 1: all the things that you do. I mean, you're you're
Speaker 1: a great personality and a great uh spokesperson on a
Speaker 1: number of levels for a whole range of really important
Speaker 1: topics these days. So thanks for having me well, I
Speaker 1: really appreciate that, sir. I'm sure you share the concern
Speaker 1: for our country right now, particularly as someone who's really
Speaker 1: dedicated as life to national security issues, to foreign policy.
Speaker 1: I mean, how frustrating is it to why everything sort
Speaker 1: of follow apart under this administration. Well, it's not just
Speaker 1: under this administration, it's been under multiple it's been for decades.
Speaker 1: So you know, if you've been paying attention to the
Speaker 1: country and for your listeners, who I'm sure they're switched
Speaker 1: on audience, Uh, it's not it's not uh, you know,
Speaker 1: one administration there there's an intentional destruction of our way
Speaker 1: of life. It's very real. It's not a conspiracy theory.
Speaker 1: If you if anybody wants to take the time to
Speaker 1: look at the the latest G twenty summit who attended,
Speaker 1: who didn't attend, the messages, the outcomes. Uh, this is
Speaker 1: a restructuring of the sort of the global order. It's
Speaker 1: very very real and uh. And there there there are
Speaker 1: a group of people, a body of people that also
Speaker 1: are in charge of countries large nation states around the
Speaker 1: planet who are behind this restructuring and uh and and
Speaker 1: they're they're going they're intent on on making it happen,
Speaker 1: probably within this decade. So one of the last bastions
Speaker 1: of of of that effort is the United States of America.
Speaker 1: And so you anybody who thinks that our election systems
Speaker 1: are are free and fair is smoking dope. And they're not.
Speaker 1: So we have not had, uh, you know, really fair
Speaker 1: elections for a long time. And that's a big part
Speaker 1: of being a constitutional republic. And it's just come to
Speaker 1: the forefront since really Uh, but it's been going on.
Speaker 1: To get a little bit more into you mentioned the
Speaker 1: D twenty. If anyone was paying attention to that, what
Speaker 1: should people have been paying attention to that? Get into
Speaker 1: what you mean they're yeah, well they need to listen
Speaker 1: to Well, first of all, look at who attended and
Speaker 1: who didn't attend. That's a big deal of G twenty
Speaker 1: is you know, it's supposed to be the top twenty.
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be the movers and shakers on the planet, right,
Speaker 1: the nation state on the planet, France, Canada, the United States, China, Russia, Japan,
Speaker 1: you know, the big economies, the big the big players,
Speaker 1: those those uh, those countries, those nations states. And I
Speaker 1: say that these that prey specifically those nation states that
Speaker 1: are that have sound economic systems, sound sound monetary systems, right,
Speaker 1: sound political systems, and most of them do not or
Speaker 1: many of them are are are you know, dictatorships in
Speaker 1: some cases. So the G twenty, who who's there, who's not,
Speaker 1: who's in, who's out? And then also the messaging that
Speaker 1: came out of it, So if you have people that
Speaker 1: do not represent nation states that are that are being
Speaker 1: given big, big platforms, like Klaus Schwab from the World
Speaker 1: Economic Forum. Uh, you've all know a Harari on the
Speaker 1: sidelines was also a speaker there. I guess it was
Speaker 1: a at least on a panel. Uh. You've got Bill Gates, uh,
Speaker 1: you know talking about uh, you know, the whole the
Speaker 1: whole issue of population control and vaccinate, vaccinating the entire planet.
Speaker 1: I mean one of the outcomes of it is is
Speaker 1: a vaccination card that all the G twenty nations signed
Speaker 1: up for, and that vaccination card is going to dictate
Speaker 1: a whole range of issues and it's going to be
Speaker 1: put into play here over the next couple of months,
Speaker 1: and people need to be paying attention to it. But
Speaker 1: that's one of the outcomes. But the G twenty is
Speaker 1: supposed to really set the It's supposed to be a
Speaker 1: place where really, you know, you can you can bring
Speaker 1: to the four issues that are massive geostrategic geopolitical issues
Speaker 1: like war, like like a giant economic systems and fractures
Speaker 1: in those systems. Uh, you know, big big trade agreements
Speaker 1: that are multilateral uh. In many cases, the G twenty
Speaker 1: allows the world leaders to be able to do also
Speaker 1: what's called bilateral meetings, like you know, the President of
Speaker 1: the United States can meet with the the Premier of
Speaker 1: China on a one on one basis with their teams
Speaker 1: and be able to discuss big trade trade issues and
Speaker 1: and UH and also other other global issues on a
Speaker 1: bilateral effort. But one of the big, big, the important
Speaker 1: speeches that came out of that was claud Schwab's World
Speaker 1: Economic Forum where he talks about the great segmentation and
Speaker 1: a new world restructuring and that this restructuring of the
Speaker 1: world on a multilateral basis is going to essentially cause
Speaker 1: greater strife and that we need to be prepared for
Speaker 1: that greater strife. And this is Cala Schwab. You know,
Speaker 1: people can go, your audience can go listen to them,
Speaker 1: but very few people in the media, Lisa and uh
Speaker 1: and I would say, you know, almost less than less
Speaker 1: than uh. You know, all the mainstream media and and
Speaker 1: uh and I include uh, some of the more conservative platforms,
Speaker 1: the larger platforms, but all the mainstream media they don't
Speaker 1: even bother talking about it because they think, you know,
Speaker 1: this is all a big conspiracy theory. But it's not.
Speaker 1: It's been going on for a long time. It's been
Speaker 1: in play for about probably about fifty years. It's taken
Speaker 1: the better part of the last two decades, maybe two
Speaker 1: and a half decades, probably started in earnest in the nineties. Uh.
Speaker 1: And now here we are. So here we are. And
Speaker 1: so what does that mean for the United States of America.
Speaker 1: It means a breakdown in all of our institutions of government,
Speaker 1: a breakdown in our institutions like academia, a breakdown in
Speaker 1: our health institutions, and all of it has been brought
Speaker 1: on by UH, you know, so it's kind of like, so,
Speaker 1: why are we here while we're here, because because the
Speaker 1: American people have become apathetic and lazy in how they
Speaker 1: respond to the political mess that we have in our country,
Speaker 1: the levels of corruption and uh, you know, in greed
Speaker 1: essentially Tian Washington d say, the last lack of justice,
Speaker 1: lack of accountability, the lack of moral courage. So those
Speaker 1: are the issues that are in play, and they were
Speaker 1: many of those are you know, are addressed in a
Speaker 1: in a G twenty type summit and and UH, you know,
Speaker 1: when you have these, you combine the G twenty summit
Speaker 1: with UH with what the World Economic Forum UH discussed
Speaker 1: in Davos in this past June, and there's a there
Speaker 1: is a very consistent message and the consistent messages that
Speaker 1: the world is going to be reset, and it's going
Speaker 1: to be reset under their terms and UH. And you
Speaker 1: know in nation states like like the United States of America,
Speaker 1: which is a constitutional republic, you know, you know, don't
Speaker 1: don't worry about it. You'll be happy, you know, And
Speaker 1: because everything is going to be under our control. And
Speaker 1: these are these are these are very very real thing. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think you sound crazy. I mean
Speaker 1: we've seen uh, you know, world leaders simultaneously. But at
Speaker 1: least I'm gonna tell you what. As many people that
Speaker 1: have that have come at me and and uh and
Speaker 1: and said things about me, I'm not I believe me.
Speaker 1: This has been my life. My life has been and
Speaker 1: not just in the military. People have no clue what
Speaker 1: the what we do in the military these days because
Speaker 1: the military represents about one percent of the population. So
Speaker 1: I believe me, my life has been a national security
Speaker 1: and national security isn't just about foreign wars. National security
Speaker 1: is about every aspect of our country. And our country
Speaker 1: is at risk. And I want your audience to understand
Speaker 1: that because you have you do have a smart audience.
Speaker 1: You have an audience that that does cross over a
Speaker 1: bunch of things. You know. I'm I'm I'm not a
Speaker 1: I'm not a person who is prone to uh to
Speaker 1: just say any things. I'm not perfect, made mistakes and
Speaker 1: things I've said, but but I am very very focused
Speaker 1: on the security of our country and the fabric of
Speaker 1: our republic. And it's fraid And like I tell people
Speaker 1: when I go out and I speak at times, that
Speaker 1: we are we are living on the edge of the
Speaker 1: existence of the United States of America. That's very real.
Speaker 1: And I don't say that tongue in cheek. I don't
Speaker 1: say that in a conspiratorial way. I say that very
Speaker 1: matter of fact. And uh and most people, even people
Speaker 1: in the media such as yourself, don't pay enough enough
Speaker 1: attention because we tend to want to get you know,
Speaker 1: guests and and you know, on our shows to talk
Speaker 1: about different things instead of really you know that we
Speaker 1: don't even we don't even appreciate the journalists that are digging, digging,
Speaker 1: digging into these issues that I'm raising right now. Well,
Speaker 1: generally we've actually we've done interviews on the World Economic
Speaker 1: Forum on this podcast, so my audience is actually familiar
Speaker 1: with that. That's something that we've discussed. I've had someone
Speaker 1: on who's doing a docuseries about it. Because what I
Speaker 1: was going to say is that we have seen simultaneously,
Speaker 1: you know, all these quote unquote Western world leader is
Speaker 1: pushing the same policies on uh, you know, the green
Speaker 1: energy right, which just you know, you look at all
Speaker 1: these different things, whether it's climate or whether it's COVID.
Speaker 1: Suddenly the answer for those on the left or these
Speaker 1: people in charges just to give up control, you know,
Speaker 1: to give to give up your liberties, to give up
Speaker 1: control to the government. We've seen that on the green
Speaker 1: energy front that they're trying to push, as well as
Speaker 1: on vaccines as you mentioned, these vaccine passports and also
Speaker 1: trying to push people in that direction. And the solution
Speaker 1: of all of this is for us to give up
Speaker 1: our liberty, to give up our control to the people
Speaker 1: who are in control. So you know, that's that's something
Speaker 1: that we've discussed. I totally agree with you on you Now,
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you, looking at Ukraine, when and
Speaker 1: how do you think the war in Ukraine will end
Speaker 1: and what do you make of it. I really think
Speaker 1: that the West, and that includes the United States, is
Speaker 1: current our administration is actually pushing us toward war. Is
Speaker 1: frightening to hear a sitting president in the United States
Speaker 1: talk about nuclear weapons the way that Biden has talked
Speaker 1: about nuclear weapons. That is just so outrageous. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is the first of all, and I've written about
Speaker 1: this prior to Russia's recent incursion. And I was in
Speaker 1: government when they when they went in in fourteen in February,
Speaker 1: in fact, it was right after the Olympics, or after
Speaker 1: the Socio Olympics, and they went in again. But I wrote,
Speaker 1: I wrote about how this was avoidable, and so we
Speaker 1: have a uh, we have an easy piece that can
Speaker 1: be achieved, very very easy piece that can still be achieved.
Speaker 1: But but the people that I just talked about at
Speaker 1: places like the G twenty, those in NATO, those in
Speaker 1: the European Union, they don't want they don't want peace.
Speaker 1: They're they'll talk about it, but actually war is much
Speaker 1: more beneficial, and war with Russia is much more beneficial.
Speaker 1: And the amounts of money that are involved in a
Speaker 1: place like uh, well, first of all, the amount of
Speaker 1: money that's involved in war, uh, you know, versus what
Speaker 1: I have written about, which is the aberration of peace, right,
Speaker 1: the lack of peace. It's sort of in human history.
Speaker 1: But the but the the idea that that uh, that
Speaker 1: that there are nations UH in the West, most of
Speaker 1: them actually with a few exceptions, would actually rather have
Speaker 1: war with Russia because you know, there's a great deal
Speaker 1: of wealth that flows from that and UH, and the
Speaker 1: people that are in charge, they don't get affected by it.
Speaker 1: They who gets affected are are people in the various
Speaker 1: militaries and the people that live in Ukraine, and the
Speaker 1: people that live in Russia and the people that live
Speaker 1: in Eastern Europe who will be affected by I mean,
Speaker 1: look at what ap the Associated Press, Associated Press essentially
Speaker 1: they essentially lied about this recent this. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: so let's face it, come on, I mean they you know,
Speaker 1: I know, the Associated Press, you know they they are
Speaker 1: no friends of mine. Uh, you know, they lied about
Speaker 1: they lied about me for many, many years and causing
Speaker 1: the entire stock market to go down in one particular
Speaker 1: day four points. So, I mean, I had a lot
Speaker 1: of a lot of insight, and I know a lot
Speaker 1: of these people. I know a lot of these nations.
Speaker 1: I know what I know. The history of what's going
Speaker 1: on the United States of America benefits significantly. When the
Speaker 1: Cold War ended, you know, when the coar ended and
Speaker 1: and the USS are the former USS are broke apart, right,
Speaker 1: the Soviet Socialist Republic of Russia, right, they broke apart. Well,
Speaker 1: there was a lot of money, uh that was that
Speaker 1: was in the sort of security state apparatus of the
Speaker 1: United States that was handed to them taxpayer dollars to
Speaker 1: be able to defend against the Soviet Union, right, and
Speaker 1: the Warsaw Pact a lot of money. So when that ended,
Speaker 1: when that co war ended after forty years, you know,
Speaker 1: does that mean that those budgets are going to go away? Well,
Speaker 1: in some cases they should have shifted, and they should
Speaker 1: have gone away. But but as long as you, as
Speaker 1: long as we in the United States keeps Russia as
Speaker 1: a boogeyman, then those budgets continue to flow. And you think, geez,
Speaker 1: that's nineteen ninety, you know, essentially, you know roughly when
Speaker 1: the core in it's years ago, it's decades ago. Well,
Speaker 1: those budgets they continue to flow, Lisa and and uh,
Speaker 1: and there's that's why the that's why the security state,
Speaker 1: it's you know, the security state is really they are
Speaker 1: above the what Eisenhower talked about the military industrial complex,
Speaker 1: and the security state is now basically uh, controlling in
Speaker 1: a lot of ways that you know that the outcomes
Speaker 1: and the and the decisions that are being made not
Speaker 1: only by the United States of America but by but
Speaker 1: by other nations. And so there's the situation. Ukraine has
Speaker 1: totally was totally avoidable. Is it can clearly can clearly
Speaker 1: be be shut off almost almost overnight, almost overnight. We
Speaker 1: have reasonable leaders UH, particularly in the West UH and
Speaker 1: and and it could be done in a very win
Speaker 1: wing fashion. But that's not but that's not what people,
Speaker 1: that's not what the leadership wants. I mean, were we
Speaker 1: continue to talk about sending advisors. You know, when we
Speaker 1: sent advisors to Vietnam in the early sixties, actually in
Speaker 1: the late fifties, but early sixties, we sent advisors. The
Speaker 1: next thing, the next thing we knew, we we lost
Speaker 1: you know, fifty thousand killed in action in Vietnam. Right again,
Speaker 1: we started by sending an advisor. So so a war
Speaker 1: in UH in Europe, they only benefit UH, they only
Speaker 1: benefit the you know, those that want to bet they
Speaker 1: benefited by it. And lastly, on Ukraine and Ukraine, I
Speaker 1: want to just again, I'll let your audience do. Ukraine
Speaker 1: is one of the largest effect It is the number
Speaker 1: one country, according to our State Departed, most corrupt country
Speaker 1: on planet Earth in terms of nation states defined as such.
Speaker 1: And one of the things that Ukraine also does is
Speaker 1: it's one of the largest drug trafficking for for the
Speaker 1: heroin trade, one of the largest human trafficking and one
Speaker 1: of the largest weapons trafficking countries on the planet. So
Speaker 1: why is Ukraine so interesting now all of a sudden
Speaker 1: to try to protect And that's a big question. And
Speaker 1: those are those are not conspiracy theories, okay, those are
Speaker 1: those are real things, and and uh and and that's
Speaker 1: that's just a fact of life. So why are we there?
Speaker 1: We're there for the all all the wrong reasons, and
Speaker 1: uh and and the objectives that we have are I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, I can't even tell you what the objectives
Speaker 1: are for the United States of America. I can't tell
Speaker 1: you what the objectives are for NATO or the European
Speaker 1: Union click commercial break back with General Flynn. Very confused able.
Speaker 1: And they also try to get us to believe that,
Speaker 1: you know, Russia blew up its own pipelines and and
Speaker 1: all you know this, that and the other, which makes
Speaker 1: no sense. It flies in the face of common sense.
Speaker 1: But I think that sort of gets me to this
Speaker 1: bigger point of you talking about the fact that we
Speaker 1: don't really know who to believe right now in the country,
Speaker 1: that these people who are supposed to be in charge
Speaker 1: don't have the best intentions you had mentioned, you know,
Speaker 1: the media lying as well, and that sort of gets
Speaker 1: us to where we are today as a society and
Speaker 1: sort of fearing our own government, and you, like President Trump,
Speaker 1: had been on the receiving end of the ire of
Speaker 1: our our government. How much do you think you know,
Speaker 1: the FBI going after you was because you spoke out
Speaker 1: against the Obama administration after you had left. Was it retaliation?
Speaker 1: It was? So yeah, it's not just about the Obama administration.
Speaker 1: And it's not just the FBI. Okay, the FBI is
Speaker 1: just the tool. So uh, you know, it's it's much
Speaker 1: much bigger than this. I mean, we're not talking I'm
Speaker 1: not saying sitting here, you know, chatting with you about
Speaker 1: you know, we'll talk about a great you know, children's
Speaker 1: book here in a second. But you know, this is
Speaker 1: this is bigger than going after Mike Flinn or frankly,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump with the FBI. These are those are tools
Speaker 1: and the the ultimate goal is to take over the
Speaker 1: United States of America. That's the ultimate goal, and do
Speaker 1: it do it in a way that Frankly, who who
Speaker 1: has been really held accountable for anything other than other
Speaker 1: than any of us that have been standing up for
Speaker 1: the country, right, Donald Trump stands up for the country.
Speaker 1: That man has far better things to do, you know.
Speaker 1: But but actually I say that, I say that tongue
Speaker 1: in cheek because there's nothing greater than standing up for
Speaker 1: one's country and and for guys like him, guys like me.
Speaker 1: When you do that, and you're standing in the in
Speaker 1: the way of a takeover by by a global reset, okay,
Speaker 1: by by what they what you know is described as
Speaker 1: the great reset for this new multicultural world order, when
Speaker 1: you stand in the way of that, And that's essentially
Speaker 1: what Trump did when he ran for president and one
Speaker 1: and I stood right by, and I stood by his
Speaker 1: side and did and you know, the minor, the minor
Speaker 1: tactical issues that that that were on my plate was
Speaker 1: to completely change the the restructure, talk about restructure and
Speaker 1: restructure the national security system and UH and the intelligence agencies.
Speaker 1: Remember I ran one of the largest intelligence agencies in
Speaker 1: the world, and you know, and that was an appointment
Speaker 1: by Obama. So I mean, you don't get picked for
Speaker 1: jobs like that, never mind being a pick for National
Speaker 1: Security Advisor to the United States. You don't get pick
Speaker 1: for those jobs because you're a conspiracy theorist. You know,
Speaker 1: you get picked because you know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: And so when it comes to believability, my my counsel
Speaker 1: to your audience is to decide, you know, who to
Speaker 1: believe what to believe, but to look look at all
Speaker 1: the information that's out there. And I know people's lives
Speaker 1: are busy, but this is really we're talking about the
Speaker 1: the you know, the United States of America and whether
Speaker 1: or not we can continue on as a as a
Speaker 1: as a beautiful experiment in democracy, as our founders wanted,
Speaker 1: you know, as a constitutional republic. The one factor, the
Speaker 1: one big, big strategic fact of life at least is
Speaker 1: that uh nation states rise and fall, and so where
Speaker 1: is the um you know, whereas the United States and
Speaker 1: that sort of pendulum or that side wave of history.
Speaker 1: And that's a that's a question that I that I
Speaker 1: have been uh, you know, trying to understand and know
Speaker 1: for the last probably thirty years of my life. No,
Speaker 1: you're you're by You've done so much for this country.
Speaker 1: Your bio is impeccable. And what I always thought was
Speaker 1: so an affair. And what they did to you was
Speaker 1: that they went after you for a call that you
Speaker 1: had with then Russian Ambassador Sergey kiss Leak when you
Speaker 1: were the national the incoming National security advisor. So those
Speaker 1: calls are standard to be talking to, you know, for
Speaker 1: the counterparts. It's not the call, the call is the
Speaker 1: call is is again it's a tool. The call is
Speaker 1: a a minor tactic to to just throw anything. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, Joe Biden, the current occupant of the White House,
Speaker 1: is the one that raised the the the Foreign Agent
Speaker 1: Registration Act. Why why do you even know about that?
Speaker 1: Because that because his son Hunter was deeply involved in
Speaker 1: in in foreign agent operations as a foreign agent without
Speaker 1: without the knowledge of the U. S. Government. I was,
Speaker 1: by the way involved with the with the knowledge of
Speaker 1: the U. S. Government on all levels. So that that
Speaker 1: that whole phone call, uh nonsense was it was a
Speaker 1: very legitimate phone call. Uh. And and the other aspect
Speaker 1: of that, because you raise it is there people have
Speaker 1: to understand that there are It's not this is not
Speaker 1: just the left or the Democrats. We also have in
Speaker 1: the Republican uh, you know, the Republican side of our
Speaker 1: of our Washington d C. Let's say I'll just be
Speaker 1: very would be more finite in Washington d c. We
Speaker 1: have a we have a body of people in Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. And I and I described it in another
Speaker 1: thing I wrote about called the uniparty. You know, in
Speaker 1: the uniparty is this establishment political class in our country,
Speaker 1: both both Republicans and Democrats. And and so frankly, I
Speaker 1: also had Republicans inside the White House that we're after me, okay,
Speaker 1: And that's that's and that's that's real. That's very real,
Speaker 1: and that's that's actually come out for anybody that digs into,
Speaker 1: digs into the whole case of what went up. But
Speaker 1: I was facing, uh, you know, was was part of
Speaker 1: the problem. Wasn't just Democrats, It wasn't just Obama. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know Obama again, he's another person who is a
Speaker 1: tool for a greater cause. And that cause that these
Speaker 1: people have is to take over the United States of
Speaker 1: America because of all the great things that we do have.
Speaker 1: And uh, and it's very real, it's very real that
Speaker 1: we're always democracies are always fragile. The constitutional republics or
Speaker 1: republics in history, we haven't lasted this long. We've we've
Speaker 1: been blessed to be able to last this long well,
Speaker 1: and and just for the folks at home. I'm sure
Speaker 1: they're familiar. But you know, the the FBI set up
Speaker 1: this interview with you occurred outside of standard protocol. They
Speaker 1: did not tell you what their intention was. There's this
Speaker 1: handwritten note from this former FBI counterintelligence director Bill priest
Speaker 1: Up following a meeting with Comey and then Director Andrew McCabe,
Speaker 1: and what they said about it. What's her goal truth
Speaker 1: slash admission or to get him to lie so we
Speaker 1: can prosecute him or get him fired. And then after
Speaker 1: the fact you have people like Senator Chuck Grassley who
Speaker 1: said there was nothing improper about this call. The FBI
Speaker 1: knew it. You had former Attorney General say that it
Speaker 1: was a perjury trap. And what they're trying to do
Speaker 1: to you, So it's you know, do you do you
Speaker 1: think it mattered what you said to them or were
Speaker 1: they just dead set and trying to crush you? Two things?
Speaker 1: One won the league FBI agent for the Crushfire Hurricane.
Speaker 1: His name was Barnett, Okay, Barnett, not pre stab. Priest
Speaker 1: Up was a head of counterintelligence for UH for the FBI.
Speaker 1: He was aware of all this, but he wasn't in
Speaker 1: the day to day activities. The lead agent. There's a
Speaker 1: guy named Barnett, and in October of so, a month
Speaker 1: before presidential election, he's under or I'm sorry September and
Speaker 1: then his his uh, his affidavit, his his three O
Speaker 1: two they call it, came out and this is the
Speaker 1: lead agent for the FBI for a cross the hurricane.
Speaker 1: And he basically says, in fact, he almost specifically says,
Speaker 1: the entire effort was to get Flynn to get Trump. Okay,
Speaker 1: So this is the lead agent for crossfire hurricane. His
Speaker 1: name is Barnett. His three oh two came out in
Speaker 1: UH in October. People can go look it up online.
Speaker 1: That's number one. The second thing is that all of
Speaker 1: this other, all this other stuff. It's like you're you're
Speaker 1: talking about the National Security Advisor to not only the
Speaker 1: president but to the United States of America is very
Speaker 1: very critical role. And what I tell people, Polias, is
Speaker 1: that had I stayed in that job, and this is
Speaker 1: why people didn't want me in the job, both sides. Okay,
Speaker 1: had I stay in that job, one of the historical
Speaker 1: facts would have been that there would have been no
Speaker 1: Mother investigation had I stayed in that job. Okay, So
Speaker 1: they needed me out. They needed me out. That's that's
Speaker 1: and that that would not not happened had I stay
Speaker 1: in that job. There have been no Moler investigation. So
Speaker 1: that imagine that. So had I had I uh um,
Speaker 1: you know when you when you think about that, you say,
Speaker 1: you know, holy crap, I mean, imagine that, have we
Speaker 1: not gone through that madness? And what? So what they
Speaker 1: what they wanted is they wanted me out of the
Speaker 1: way because I had already started looking into things because
Speaker 1: I know exactly where to look, right. I mean some
Speaker 1: some people have said, you know, Flynn knows where the
Speaker 1: bodies are buried. That's a metaphor for knowing exactly where
Speaker 1: to look. When you run UH, an intelligence agency in
Speaker 1: the United States of America, one of the largest in
Speaker 1: the world. When you run one of these, you have
Speaker 1: you have access and knowledge to a lot of things.
Speaker 1: And in addition as preparing for the National Scurity Advisor job,
Speaker 1: I also was privy to the entire nuclear system. You
Speaker 1: have to be you got to be ready on day one,
Speaker 1: right a minute one. So, I mean these are things
Speaker 1: that are huge. Uh there there are large, large enterprises
Speaker 1: behind them. There's an ungodly amount of wealth and people
Speaker 1: not only in this country, but but elsewhere want access
Speaker 1: to it. You want access to all of it. And uh,
Speaker 1: and it's a scary. It's a scary. Uh, you know
Speaker 1: the thing when you think about it, it's frightening actually.
Speaker 1: But but I need people to understand that this is
Speaker 1: not a This is not some political politics as usual
Speaker 1: time of life here. This is not I like small government,
Speaker 1: you like big government. We may not see if we
Speaker 1: don't get some of these issues resolved in this current
Speaker 1: midtermal action. I mean, you know, I've heard I've heard
Speaker 1: and I don't know if you've said it, but I've
Speaker 1: heard other other media people there, other big people with
Speaker 1: big platforms talk about, well, the Republicans gotta get better
Speaker 1: at mail in ballots and they've gotta get better at
Speaker 1: ballot harvesting. Bullshit. I mean we you know there, if
Speaker 1: there's cheating, you don't get better at cheating, you just
Speaker 1: don't cheat. But to stop it, you hold people accountable.
Speaker 1: Now that that's what that's that's what the American people want.
Speaker 1: The American people want to see courage and encourage. I
Speaker 1: always say, is a decision. It's not something you're born with.
Speaker 1: You have to make the decision to be courageous. So
Speaker 1: I want people out there to be courageous and make
Speaker 1: that decision. And they want accountability. Nobody has been held
Speaker 1: accountable for what we know because you're you're you're honing
Speaker 1: it on this Russian investigation. Nobody has been held accountable
Speaker 1: for it. Nobody, And they leaked the call, which is
Speaker 1: a crime in and of itself, the classified call. So
Speaker 1: it's like there's been numerous crimes taking place, as you mentioned,
Speaker 1: no accountability whatsoever. So you know, s somebody who's worked
Speaker 1: I mean, you were the Nash Security advisor. You've done
Speaker 1: all these massive jobs in the intelligence community, spent your
Speaker 1: life's work dedicated to protecting this country. As somebody who's
Speaker 1: sort of seen inside at all, what changes need to
Speaker 1: be made if Republicans get another Republican president in office?
Speaker 1: What do we need to do? How do we you know,
Speaker 1: clearly people don't trust the system. You've seen all the
Speaker 1: ugliness of it. So how do we change it? You know,
Speaker 1: what do we need to do if we have another
Speaker 1: president like a like a meaning and like a Donald
Speaker 1: Trump type president. I mean, honestly, the political class establishment
Speaker 1: uh types are not gonna be able to do what
Speaker 1: I what I you know, I'm about to kind of
Speaker 1: lay out, But they just don't have the capability because
Speaker 1: they're they're too much into the establishment. And that's and
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's most I would say, that's every
Speaker 1: sitting governor. Nothing doesn't mean that they're bad people, just
Speaker 1: means that they just don't have the you and have
Speaker 1: the courage back to using the word courage or making
Speaker 1: the decision. So what we need to do is we
Speaker 1: need to have two things really in order to fix
Speaker 1: this country. First, we've got to have a leader that
Speaker 1: gets in there, that goes that knows how to do
Speaker 1: it and and has the guts to do it. But
Speaker 1: the two sort of big strategic things are we've got
Speaker 1: to have a complete revamping of our national security system, okay,
Speaker 1: and and a complete so part of that, a subtext
Speaker 1: to that is a complete relook of our national security
Speaker 1: UH priorities and those are those are very real and
Speaker 1: they are UH and the American people would absolutely resonate
Speaker 1: with with a scrubbing and a cleaning up and a
Speaker 1: reprioritizing of things that actually matter to the people of America.
Speaker 1: That's number one. The second thing is Um, is a
Speaker 1: government a complete overhaul of the United States federal government,
Speaker 1: a complete overhaul, and that's very possible to do. You
Speaker 1: have you know, you obviously need the legislative branch because
Speaker 1: of budgets and such. But actually, you know, much of
Speaker 1: what can be done can be done by the executive branch,
Speaker 1: by the power of the president. Okay, not not the
Speaker 1: power of an agency director or or a department head
Speaker 1: like a Department of Defense or something like that. They
Speaker 1: have some capabilities, but actually the president the United States
Speaker 1: has the ability to to direct and and expect you know,
Speaker 1: government overhaul, and government overhaul at the federal level is
Speaker 1: absolutely necessary. I mean, we have to have it. Um.
Speaker 1: And I really haven't touched on the judiciary. I think
Speaker 1: the judiciary, you know, just needs to be uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean the right the right types of of attitudes
Speaker 1: and and and uh and people who are really true
Speaker 1: to the Constitution. I mean, I'm not gonna touch on
Speaker 1: you know, good judges, bad judges. I've had them, I've
Speaker 1: dealt with them both. Um. It's really about the executive
Speaker 1: branch of the government and the power of the president.
Speaker 1: The president to be able to overhaul the federal government,
Speaker 1: because the federal government is primarily the executive branch of
Speaker 1: the government, and uh, you know, it's not so much
Speaker 1: the legislative or the judiciary, it's the executive branch where
Speaker 1: it has become so bloated and so out of control.
Speaker 1: And unless we do those two things, Unless we do
Speaker 1: those two things, we're gonna we're gonna continue down this
Speaker 1: path that I find that I feel is uh is
Speaker 1: getting to a place where you know, it's it's almost irreversible,
Speaker 1: but it's not. We're not there yet click break so
Speaker 1: much more. I hope those changes are made. I think
Speaker 1: a lot of people share the concerns that you just echoed, obviously,
Speaker 1: watching what they did to President Trump, what they're doing
Speaker 1: to you and still trying to do with this Georgia
Speaker 1: probe as well. It's, uh, you know, Donald Trump's the
Speaker 1: most investigated man in American history, and what they're doing
Speaker 1: to him is wrong. I don't care if people like
Speaker 1: them or you know, love them or hate him if
Speaker 1: it's wrong. But I wanted to get into your new
Speaker 1: children's book The Night the Snow Monster Attacked. First of all,
Speaker 1: that must have been fun to write about. And then secondly,
Speaker 1: sort of get into the book and why it's special
Speaker 1: and why people should go check it out for their kids. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so thank you, because this is really, um, you know,
Speaker 1: what what life is all about, and that's trying to
Speaker 1: you know, let children be children, give give children an
Speaker 1: opportunity to be kids. Right, And so I had a
Speaker 1: great opportunity and really through uh, through my relationship with
Speaker 1: Cash bet Tell, because he had a great he has
Speaker 1: a great book that's also part of Great Books and
Speaker 1: yeah we talked too. Yeah, people can go to Great
Speaker 1: Books dot com and check it out. They can, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean perfect time a year right coming into Christmas
Speaker 1: with you know, get a get a subscription for your kid.
Speaker 1: And but this particular book to Night the Snow Monster Attack.
Speaker 1: This is a great book for teaching values and principles
Speaker 1: like discipline, decision making, perseverance, resilience, Uh, you know, all
Speaker 1: the things, all the challenges that children are up against.
Speaker 1: And my my ultimate goal really is to try to
Speaker 1: let children, to help children, beat children, to give them
Speaker 1: an opportunity to just be kids. These days, it's so
Speaker 1: hard giving all the other stuff that's going on in
Speaker 1: our lives. And and so that's why I got involved
Speaker 1: with Uh, with Brave Books. That's why I'm so jazzed
Speaker 1: about this particular uh, this particular book for for children.
Speaker 1: And uh, I think now we still have a thing where,
Speaker 1: you know, if you go if you do an annual
Speaker 1: subscription Lisa at Brave books dot com, and yeah, I
Speaker 1: think it's you know, you tell them the general Center
Speaker 1: or something, you get my book for free if you
Speaker 1: buy an annual subscription. I think that we still have
Speaker 1: that deal in play. So people can go to Brave
Speaker 1: books dot com and get the annual subscription and get
Speaker 1: a copy of my book for free. I love that,
Speaker 1: and I think those are important lessons, you know, particularly
Speaker 1: with kids the days it seems like they don't have
Speaker 1: any respect. It's just you know, we're not teaching kids
Speaker 1: the right thing. So I love that idea for a book,
Speaker 1: you know, sir. Where can people go get it? They
Speaker 1: can go directly to my website, General Flynn dot com,
Speaker 1: General Flynn dot com, or they can go to Brave
Speaker 1: Books dot com. Awesome, you have Brave Books to some
Speaker 1: really you know, great things. We talked to Cash about
Speaker 1: his book as well. Uh, you know, sir, is there
Speaker 1: anything else you'd like to leave us with before we go. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I am. I am normally a glass half
Speaker 1: full type person, Lisa, but I'm a realist and I
Speaker 1: just know that if people you know, in our constitution, Lisa,
Speaker 1: there's three words consent of four words, consent of the governed,
Speaker 1: consent of the government, meaning we have to get involved.
Speaker 1: And I want people that listen to your show, to
Speaker 1: your great show, You're great audience. I want them to
Speaker 1: get involved in their communities like they for been involved
Speaker 1: in their local communities before. And I'll finish with the
Speaker 1: phrase local action equals a national impact. And if people
Speaker 1: get involved in their communities, we can save this nation.
Speaker 1: I love that and I think that is so true.
Speaker 1: It's got to be a bottom up thing and we
Speaker 1: gotta want it and we need to fight for this country. Sir,
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for your service to this country.
Speaker 1: You've done so much. You've served the country for decades,
Speaker 1: so thank you for that. Everyone go out and get
Speaker 1: General Flynn's new book, The Night the Snow Monster Attacked, Sir.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Your time. Happy Thanksgiving. I hope
Speaker 1: you get to spend the day with your loved ones
Speaker 1: and it's a special day. God Blesslie, So thank you,
Speaker 1: Happy Thanksgiving you in your audience. So that was General
Speaker 1: Michael Flynn. I thought it was interesting. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: a lot of people have a lot of opinions on him,
Speaker 1: but I think it's better just to hear from the
Speaker 1: person themselves and then you know, you can judge. I
Speaker 1: personally think you got roaded, and uh, you know, I
Speaker 1: think it says a lot about where we are as
Speaker 1: a country and the weaponization of government. So I wanted
Speaker 1: to talk to him myself, and you know, you can
Speaker 1: be your own judge. But I hope everyone has a
Speaker 1: beautiful and happy Thanksgiving. I want to thank you all
Speaker 1: for listening every Monday and Thursday, but you can listen
Speaker 1: throughout the week. I want to thank John Cassio, my producer,
Speaker 1: for putting the show together as always. I love reading
