Mr. Guns and Gear comes on the show to talk about Primary Arms Range Day, the day before the National Association of Modelers (NRA) Convention in Dallas, TX. He talks about his first time on a range day and what it's like to be a member of the public. He also talks about why he thinks Donald Trump is going to win the 2020 election.
00:03:57.000The homeless population has really increased.
00:04:00.000I did not vote for Donald Trump, but I do believe, now this is just my belief, that he's a little dog that can pull some things together for the economy.
00:06:27.000It is number one on Amazon for DVDs right now for about seven weeks running.
00:06:32.000What's fascinating in the movie, and I'm just going to tease it because there's a really important part of the movie where we talk about pardons.
00:06:41.000What I received was what's called a pardon of innocence because my case, And, you know, 95% or 99% of your audience probably doesn't even realize that my case was actually dismissed eight months prior to receiving the pardon that I had to get.
00:06:56.000And the pardon is called pardon of innocence.
00:06:59.000And I'm the only person in the history of the United States to ever receive one of those.
00:07:03.000And the reason why is because my case was dismissed.
00:07:05.000So when your case is dismissed, I pulled my guilty plea, I fought the system, beat the system.
00:07:12.000Case was dismissed for egregious government misconduct.
00:07:15.000Then the judge grabbed hold of me, which is totally out of character for our judicial system and the judiciary, for eight more months.
00:07:23.000And we knew that had Trump lost the election, which he ended up losing, and Biden won it.
00:07:31.000Now, you know, we can argue about that because I'm in that camp, but because of what happened, we knew that this judge was not going to let go.
00:07:40.000And more than likely, and my wife had a lot to do with this, More than likely, the Justice Department would have figured out a way to bring me back in.
00:07:48.000And so the film is out there to, like it says, the subtitle, Deliver the Truth, Whatever the Cost.
00:07:52.000Whether you want to, you know, believe me or not, I absolutely firmly believe in what I say and what I know and the direction that the country's taking and the persecution, you know, the persecution of me.
00:08:52.000I was also in a position at the national intelligence level where I was the Assistant Director of National Intelligence in a very important role, both times appointed by Obama.
00:09:04.000So Obama appointed me twice, the Senate confirmed me twice, and what's fascinating is, you know, and we talk about this in the film a little bit, you know, Did they bring me into these positions because they knew that I was sort of an enemy or not?
00:09:20.000You know, bring your enemies closer kind of thing.
00:09:22.000Maybe it was a case of that, but I don't want to think that way because I'm just generally not that way.
00:09:31.000You know, and I talk about, in the movie, about politics a little bit, but this is really not a political movie.
00:09:36.000This is about a, this is an inspiring story of survival because I have nine brothers and sisters, eight living, four brothers and three sisters that are still living, and that family, you know, our family had to come together.
00:09:50.000What I want people to ask themselves when they see this movie is what are they willing to fight for?
00:09:55.000Most Americans don't realize how much communism has infiltrated inside of the United States, the institutions of government.
00:11:22.000So they work together in a very, you know, collusive way.
00:11:25.000And so we, if they say this guy is a threat, so Mike Flynn is a threat, we cannot have Mike Flynn in there as the National Security Advisor, because the National Security Advisor is close personal advisor to the President on a daily basis, involved in making critical decisions every day, and is actually over the top of all these other institutions of our government.
00:11:46.000Definitely the intelligence community, the Department of Defense, Department of State, Department of Justice, the FBI.
00:11:51.000The National Security Advisor is in that kind of a position.
00:11:54.000So now what they do if they don't like somebody, and they're doing this to Trump right now, and one of the other threads is the people that went after me, they're the same people that are going after Trump right now.
00:12:06.000Some of them are still in government, others are out of government, and they're working in these various lawfare law firms that are out there that are plugging these things in.
00:12:17.000I mean, you got Clay Higgins of Louisiana, Congressman Clay Higgins of Louisiana, he's already exposed that there's been over 200 FBI agents.
00:12:25.000Epoch Times, which is another outfit that I do think highly of because they stay focused.
00:12:31.000They broke a story about a month ago where 50 agents were there on J6.
00:12:37.000The only way that you can put that many people on the ground on that day is to have planning
00:13:13.000And it is to change the culture of the United States of America from a culture of really unity and freedom And democracy as part of a constitutional republic to a socialist state.
00:13:25.000And we are we are going if we don't get this right, this most consequential, you know, in the history of this country, this coming up election, if we don't get this right, then we're going to become the United Socialist States of America.
00:13:36.000What to do is write a bunch of jokes in the morning and on a good day, you write about
00:14:59.000Go to Watchtowerfirearms.com slash Crowder and enter promo code MugClub to get $100 off a MugClub rifle purchase, 10% off accessories, and free shipping!
00:15:42.000Team Red, White, and Blue hits the nail on the head providing training, programs, guidance, events to get prior service members up and moving and focused on that physical health so that we can also tackle our mental health as well.
00:15:58.000The whole reason that I got into running I started training for a marathon with one of my best friends who was in the Marine Corps and prior to that I was really struggling a lot with my mental health and the main coping mechanism for that, as I think a lot of people can relate to, is alcohol.
00:16:16.000And as I started running I found myself drinking a lot less and the more and more that I ran I realized that it became my strongest coping mechanism.
00:16:26.000And most importantly, I learned just how important physical and mental health is.
00:16:31.000And you know, this goal of promoting mental health and making people aware and trying not to be afraid to talk about it really did shed a light on just how important it is seeing all these communities come out and entire towns coming out on the sidewalks like a parade to cheer us on if we're running through.
00:16:47.000A lot of people think that the run is done and over with, and it is, but our goal of raising awareness for mental health and trying to fundraise a million dollars for teen red, white, and blue has not ended.
00:16:57.000At the time that we finished the run on April 21st, we had raised just about half a million dollars.
00:17:03.000Right now, we're just shy of $600,000, and our fundraising efforts continue as we try to approach that $1 million goal.
00:17:09.000If you're able to support in any way, we would love to have you help donate to the cause.
00:17:14.000You can head on over to our website, www.pauljohnson.run, and you can see all the information there about donations, Team Red, White, and Blue, the run itself.
00:18:29.000People really need to be paying attention to things like that right now.
00:18:32.000But when I saw you talking about it, because I was asking about your type of comedy, and then I heard you speak in that commercial, I was like, oh, OK, now I get it.
00:21:16.000And I come back to the United States, and then I start getting asked to advise different candidates who are running for president, and of course Trump was the guy that I ended up really having the best relationship with.
00:21:30.000And I find out that the worst enemy that I'm going to face is right here in the United States of America.
00:22:08.000So I was appointed by Barack Obama twice for two really, really critical positions in the
00:22:15.000One was to be the highest, one of the highest levels in our government and in the intelligence community, Assistant Director of National Intelligence in the subtitles, Partner Engagement.
00:22:25.000The second job was the Director of Defense Intelligence Agency, which is one of the largest intel agencies in the world.
00:22:34.000And then, you know, fast forward, I leave on a sour, generally a sour note from DIA and retired from the Army and You know, and the guy that dismissed me because I didn't toe the narrative was Barack Obama, and I never met Barack Obama.
00:23:08.000Yeah, we had a four-day weekend promised to us, and so Thursday we're lining up in formation, ready to go home, and first sergeant comes down and goes, hey, by the way, President Obama's campaigning.
00:23:18.000He wants some soldiers standing behind him here on base.
00:23:23.000And so we had to go stand behind Barack Obama and meet him afterwards.
00:23:26.000And we had all made plans with our platoon sergeant.
00:23:28.000I was a sergeant at the time, fire team leader, and my platoon sergeant planned this whole weekend of having fun because his wife's out of town.
00:23:35.000We're going to go to his house and drink and have fun.
00:25:06.000Okay, and I'm giving you a little bit more in the movie here.
00:25:09.000Because I talk about this very specific piece in the movie.
00:25:12.000And don't worry, by the way, about spoilers.
00:25:14.000People will go see your film to support you.
00:25:16.000If you talk about things that are in the movie, they're not going to be like, wow, he ruined it.
00:25:18.000Yeah, well, so what I talk about is the conversation After that meeting between Trump and Obama, I talk about that conversation that I had with Trump.
00:25:31.000So afterwards, Trump and I had a conversation about that discourse between Obama and Trump, which was What was his tone like?
00:25:41.000Was he like, you're never going to believe this s***?
00:26:33.000This is June of 2016, and then Mike Flynn, right, is the fourth person.
00:26:38.000And I talk about the conversation I had with Trump when he called me up to say, I'm not going with you, I'm going to go with Mike Pence.
00:26:45.000It's a funny, it's actually a pretty funny conversation.
00:26:50.000But then fast forward to this same thing about Obama and telling Trump all this.
00:26:55.000You know, Trump and I then, we spoke right after that meeting between he and Obama, and he was just exactly kind of like what, you know, Not quite verbatim.
00:27:36.000And I think Trump came into, once he won, he came, comes into the presidency and he's like, okay, we got a mission, we're going to make this country better again, right?
00:27:44.000You know, we're going to strengthen all the different things that Trump talked about.
00:27:48.000Manufacturing, the economy, you know, energy, safety, security, all these things, right?
00:27:55.000And I think he felt like the government, like a businessman would, when you take over a business, everybody around you is going to say, okay, we're with you, boss.
00:28:11.000Especially when there's so many CIA members.
00:28:12.000Specifically, toward the end of the movie, I talk a little bit about this, about Trump not having, now he does, now he does, but at that time, he didn't have an appreciation for just how government operates.
00:28:31.000I tell somebody, I'm the head of a giant organization.
00:28:34.000I go in and I say, okay, we're going to move to the left or we're going to move to the right.
00:28:38.000What the bureaucracy does is they come back to you with thick things like this, like white papers, about how they can't do it.
00:28:46.000And they're looking for bonuses and they want more people.
00:28:50.000Well, a perfect example is Fauci and, for example, Dr. Birx, where in my mindset, I think Donald Trump thought, okay, I'm going to put, you know, the old wrestling term, I'm going to put Fauci over during this pandemic, and then he's going to look out for this administration and do what's best for the country.
00:29:04.000He didn't understand that if he puts him over, this guy may turn that authority on you and makes it about himself.
00:29:09.000I think he thought we're trying to help the country during a period where there are a lot of unknowns and trusted it.
00:29:17.000So I wrote this on one of my ex posts that people that listen, they can go to at Jen Flynn's, my ex tag.
00:29:23.000And they, you know, after the, the International Criminal Court of the Hague, you know, put a, an international warrant out for Bibi Netanyahu said they misspelled Bibi and they should have spelled it F-A-U-C-I, you know, because Fauci, Fauci committed a massive crime against humanity.
00:29:46.000And so, yeah, the whole Operation Warp Speed, OK, that was put into place, was put into place, really, and led by Mike Pence, OK, with these people like Burks and Fauci, who are two, and there are others.
00:30:03.000But what you have to understand is that COVID and the whole COVID debacle, it wasn't like, oh, I got the flu and we got this problem.
00:30:12.000This was very intentional and it was designed way back.
00:30:15.000It was designed well before Trump even got into office.
00:30:18.000So if people, you know, this is not a conspiracy theory.
00:30:21.000This is s*** that actually is real, and they were very intentional, and they were very thoughtful, and it's how you shut down—it wasn't just shutting down America, it was shutting down the world.
00:30:33.000So they could then shift it to this sort of, what I call it, this globalist alliance, right?
00:30:39.000And that really does exist, and what we're going to see as we go forward here these next couple of months for, you know, for the people on the Mug Club here, And that are watching, you're going to see a shift in the economic conditions of the world, okay, to a digital currency.
00:30:54.000And you're going to see, at the end of this month, actually, is when the World Health Organization is going to basically declare that they're now in charge of all health decisions for the world.
00:31:04.000The United States of America, this, you know, Uncle Joe, he hasn't signed it yet.
00:31:09.000We just had 49, you know, all the Republican senators just sent a letter to the White House saying, please, please don't sign this.
00:31:16.000I mean, I don't know how many people on your show even know that.
00:31:19.000They just did this like a month ago, because the end of this month is when this thing sort of takes effect.
00:31:25.000And when it does, then our health decisions Absolutely.
00:31:29.000And they don't even acknowledge that Taiwan exists.
00:31:31.000are now going to be made by something called the World Health Organization, which is run by
00:31:36.000a massive Marxist. I mean, the guy that's in charge of the World Health Organization was
00:31:39.000put there by the Chinese Communist Party. And he's a Marxist.
00:31:42.000They don't even acknowledge that Taiwan exists. Have you seen that video, right, of the man being interviewed?
00:31:45.000Xi the other day said Taiwan is part of China and will become part of China soon.
00:31:54.000So, it's like I used to say on the battlefield, you know, as a guy who thought about our enemies and studied our enemies and fought our enemies, I would sit there and I would study them and I would look at what they're doing and we, you know, either through interrogations or we would capture documents or we would read their doctrine.
00:32:10.000I would go, Jesus, if they're telling us this, and then you see their behavior on the battlefield, you better pay attention because this is probably what they're going to do.
00:32:19.000So they're telling us this, they are telegraphing exactly what they're going to do, and now they're doing it.
00:32:25.000And we're in a place now, historically, in the United States of America, I don't even know if you want to go down this rabbit hole.
00:32:49.000In media, you know, the government, a lot of elements inside the government, a lot of the banking systems, and there's other sort of the corporate world, right?
00:32:58.000Well, the biggest one is not just legacy media, but big tech.
00:33:01.000I mean, you look at the WHO, you look at the CDC.
00:33:02.000I mean, I don't know if you know this, we were suspended here On this show, first off, we were suspended at the last election.
00:33:08.000We had the biggest election stream of all time.
00:33:13.000At the midterms, they banned us within two weeks of the election.
00:33:16.000And I don't know if that's because we had Kerry Lakon who questioned election results, but we were also banned because we talked about how there have been more deaths from the flu for toddlers and infants than all of COVID combined just in one season.
00:33:31.000Big Tech said, yeah, the problem is, the CDC says, if you cite that, even though it's their numbers, people may not take COVID seriously enough.
00:33:37.000So we were suspended and we weren't able to stream the next election.
00:33:41.000So this came directly from the administration.
00:33:43.000That's the biggest one, because 90% of the information that travels is controlled really by about five companies.
00:34:28.00020-year-olds and 30-year-olds who are serving in the military are generally the healthiest part of our society anyways, and it's always been literally less than 2%.
00:34:39.000In the last couple of years, because of the vaccine program, OK, that that.
00:34:44.000So when I looked at that, when I look and this is all public information.
00:34:48.000So when I looked at, you know, this defense medical data, I'm looking at this and I'm saying, Jesus, that's terrible.
00:34:53.000I mean, that alone is one of those indicators where you say, OK, that, you know, and if somebody got the vaccine out there, that's your business.
00:35:02.000You know, and it's nobody's business whether I did or not.
00:35:07.000But the point is, is when you're forced to do something that you say, you go, this is just not right, there's something not right about this, and I really don't want to do this.
00:35:16.000Well, in the Army, you kind of, I mean, people, I've been called a vax denier, I've been called an election denier.
00:35:22.000I don't deny vaxes, and I don't deny elections.
00:35:24.000In vaccines, I was a pincushion in the Army.
00:35:27.000Anybody that served in the military, they know.
00:35:29.000I mean, I've taken, I've had, you know, More shots.
00:35:32.000But when we start to look at what the COVID vaccines were, and this gets back to... It's not even a vaccine.
00:35:50.000So one of the things that I do think that the And I don't know where it polls.
00:35:55.000I don't watch polls too much on this account, but I do think that there's a lot of people that feel like, OK, under the Trump administration, because you mentioned Fauci and Birx, we didn't know these people because of the Biden or the Obama administration.
00:36:09.000We knew these people because of the Trump administration.
00:36:12.000And so, the Trump administration, you know, they began this.
00:36:15.000Now, Trump has come out a couple of times and restated his position on where, you know, he didn't do mandates.
00:36:21.000He said alternative medicines are fine, you know, ivermectin, hydrochloroquine, all those kinds of things.
00:36:26.000So, I think he's stated it, but there's still a lot of people that were injured.
00:36:31.000And there's a lot of people that are sitting there going, you know, I have five people, five friends of mine that died.
00:36:36.000And, and, you know, they had, you could say, well, they had existing conditions.
00:36:41.000They weren't that bad, you know, but they took the vaccine and within a year they were dead.
00:36:46.000So, I mean, I, so I look at these, I look at this and I say, Jesus.
00:36:50.000So part of my message here to your audience is don't take this vaccine because it is an injection of something.
00:36:56.000And, and, but if you want to do it, it's up to you.
00:37:13.000That's really what this comes down to.
00:37:15.000Your ability to be able to have this great show and to be able to speak your mind freely, which, you know, you do, and you have a great dialogue with your team here.
00:37:25.000That doesn't exist in any other country on the planet.
00:37:28.000I mean, you might be able to get away with it in Argentina now because, you know, Milea's going fuera to everything.
00:38:55.000He's going to continue down that path.
00:38:56.000And frankly, the conservative movement in Canada, so people that don't know, you know, when we talk about the flyover states in the United States of America, which are truly the flyover states from like, you know, so you got Washington, D.C., New York City and Hollywood and everybody in between.
00:40:12.000No, no, I'm blaming it— I'm blaming it on myself, but I can move it however you want.
00:40:17.000The governor of Massachusetts about, probably like a year, year and a half ago, put out some crazy thing about how we might have to put illegals into people's homes.
00:40:26.000Everybody's like, wait a second, is this like, you know, is this 1776 when you're going to start taking our homes and put illegals away?
00:41:09.000I mean, off on the side of the highway as we're driving up into Omaha, and I'm like, wow, man, I didn't realize there was that many people moving here.
00:41:15.000The guy driving me said, that's not for U.S.
00:41:22.000And I'm thinking to myself, okay, well Nebraska's a red state, so why the hell?
00:41:26.000Because the money that flows, when you take these people, and I'm looking at like, I mean it's a giant number of homes, essentially, apartments, you know, I call them six plexes, eight plexes, you know, it's going to turn into a slum after a while, and it's in this really, just in the outskirts of Omaha.
00:41:45.000And I'm thinking to myself, God, how did we ever get here?
00:43:34.000But Eisenhower had to be the face because he's the warrior, the victor of World War II, at least in Europe.
00:43:40.000And so, all these things matter because when we start to think about what is really going to happen, I mean, most people, like you, you don't know what you're going to have for dinner tonight.
00:43:51.000You know what you're going to have for dinner tonight?
00:44:56.000Maybe you, you know, go do something that's a little bit extra.
00:45:00.000Because one of the things that we, that I have learned from warfare is that the enemy always has a vote.
00:45:09.000And when we think about Our way of life here in the United States of America, with all the freedoms that we have, well, we have enemies that are overseas, right?
00:45:17.000Our enemies that are, and actually now they're in our domestic landscape.
00:45:22.000So there's these competing ideologies like communism.
00:45:25.000I mean, hell, if we didn't beat Hitler, and then they, I've been called a Nazi, but the people don't understand, it's Nazi socialism.
00:46:01.000When I look at the country—and my thing is national security, and I'm a big student of history, world history and U.S.
00:46:09.000history, especially presidential history—but when I look at the direction, I mean, I just can't live with myself and say, yeah, this is OK the way things are going.
00:46:38.000I love the men and women that I serve with, and we have a great Military at the rank-and-file level.
00:46:45.000Our leadership in the military today, the top leadership, and I'm not talking about the civilian leadership, I'm talking about the uniforms, that they need to be like either they need to be sort of reculturalized or they need to be booted out.
00:47:00.000And I'm glad to hear you say that because we just had an undercover, you know, investigation with someone who was the head effective of the DEI division.
00:47:07.000And with a hidden camera said, yeah, you know, as soon as a conflict with China happens.
00:47:11.000And he said, that's what we're all concerned about.
00:47:13.000He said, you know, we don't talk about it publicly.
00:47:14.000He said, you know, we'll be speaking Chinese in the United States and all this goes out the window.
00:47:17.000But right now it's good to try and reshape the military with the, yeah, admitted that there was a recruiting shortfall, admitted that they have lowered their PT requirements.
00:47:25.000And some people got mad saying, oh, well, why are you going after a brother in arms in the military?
00:47:29.000I'm going, this is a Democrat who will vote Biden, who said this will harm the military.
00:47:31.000But it's good in the name of diversity people need to realize just because someone is in the military
00:47:36.000There's a very big difference between people serving their country and people pushing pens. So we're here. We are here
00:47:41.000We are in a memorial week. Okay Memorial Day week Memorial Day was originally
00:47:49.000The whole reason why we have Memorial Day weekend and we celebrate this weekend, and the reason why it was created, was because after the Civil War, they wanted to recognize all of the Union soldiers that gave their lives for this country, right?
00:48:05.000You know, out of the benevolence of the great people, the great leaders that we had, they said, well, let's recognize all who have sacrificed for this country.
00:48:12.000Because, obviously, it wasn't just about the Civil War.
00:48:15.000It goes back to the Revolutionary War.
00:48:16.000So we recognize Memorial Day for sacrifice.
00:48:20.000The sacrifice of one's life for this country, which most people don't realize this young man over here does.
00:48:27.000When you sign on that dotted line, you might sign up to be an infantryman or an aviator or a truck driver or a cook, but what you're actually signing up to do is to give your life for this country.
00:49:12.000Because that number used to be very high.
00:49:15.000Post-Vietnam, we resurrected our military, and we really worked hard on this.
00:49:19.000And I know this, because as a young officer and as a mid-grade officer, You know, we started to rebuild our values and our character and all these kinds of things to basically make the American people think that, hey, our military is actually good.
00:49:32.000One of the things about the Vietnam War that most people don't know, the policy for the Vietnam War were horrible policies.
00:49:41.000Actually, we got into Vietnam on a lie, just like we got into Iraq on a lie, based on a lie.
00:49:46.000So, the administrations at the time, and particularly the Johnson administration, they were like, well, we don't want the American people to hate us.
00:49:56.000So we're going to work, we're going to collude with the administration at the time, and the media, okay, at the time, which they've been working together for a long time, and the intelligence community, mainly the CIA at the time, to make, to turn the sentiment of the American people on the baby killers.
00:50:34.000So this Memorial Day Weekend, we should resurrect the idea of these great servants of our country that served in the Vietnam War who came back to be spit on.
00:50:45.000And that happened not because the American people hated them, it was because the American people were influenced to hate them.
00:50:53.000This is the type of stuff that we need to understand in this country.
00:50:57.000With leaders, leaders that are going into our government, that you say, we want them to serve.
00:51:05.000You say, I want to serve our country, right?
00:51:08.000And it's like you look around and you go, well, geez, if Mike Flynn goes to serve the country, and I'm an incorruptible guy, and I know what I'm doing, I'm well prepared for For damn near any of these jobs, you know, and so I go in and it's like, OK, we tried to corrupt him, but we couldn't.
00:51:27.000So now we can't have him in there because he knows too much.
00:51:32.000And when you get a when you get around a guy like like Trump, who who can be he's you know, his level of uncertainty, OK, that he presented across around the world is actually to me as a strength.
00:51:58.000There are really only a handful of companies in the conservative movement that run everything.
00:52:03.000And we just don't want to have to, for example, advocate for vaccines or advocate for lockdowns.
00:52:09.000But I wanted to ask you, because I know you touched on something earlier, and I know Gerald really wants to talk about this, is where you mentioned the church.
00:52:14.000And Gerald, you had a question on this, because I think it's relevant.
00:52:18.000And, you know, we may end up talking a little bit more later on this, so I'll give you kind of the brief on this.
00:52:22.000But you said if the... I'm having somebody talk behind my back.
00:52:27.000No, because I was actually subpoenaed by Fannie Willis for the Georgia Grand Jury and I had her boyfriend for four and a half hours sit behind me and told me, do not turn around.
00:52:37.000Because when I ask my question, I want you to speak to the Grand Jury.
00:52:40.000And I feel like I'm looking at Andrew Breitbart and looking at No, I know.
00:53:10.000So, and we wrote a book on this, Boone Cutler and I wrote a book on this called The Citizen's Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare, The Role of the Church.
00:53:27.000Because the, and I'll sort of stay at the strategic level because there's a whole range of issues that, that what is the role of the church in America as it relates to, you know, who we are as a nation?
00:53:39.000What are the principles that we were founded upon?
00:53:43.000And so, I think the numbers right now, if I'm not mistaken, is like, of the voting public in this country, and this would be something to, you know, you showed a little stats, this would be actually a fascinating thing to really dig into and to show your audience.
00:53:56.000I think it's around 67% are registered as Christians, voters, registered as Christians.
00:55:55.000I mean, Lutheranism, I mean, you know, all the different, you know, the Methodist Church, the Episcopalians, the Presbyterians, all these different paths, and what they follow are different traditions.
00:56:10.000And so, And I always go back to the life issue, right?
00:56:14.000The life issue where for 40 years the Supreme Court of the United States of America in 1973 did the vote for the Roe v. Wade, which was an unconstitutional vote, but the decision, the unconstitutional decision, we had it for 40 years.
00:56:29.000And, you know, as a Catholic, so I actually, as a kid, my mother, we used to call it forced family fun.
00:56:34.000My mother dragged me and a couple of my brothers and sisters down to Washington, D.C.
00:56:39.000in 1974, and I marched in the first Right to Life March.
00:56:42.000Freezing cold day, we went in and argued with our senator and our congressman from our states and stuff like that.
00:56:50.000So, but I say that because the Christian community, and I've seen this, and I've argued with priests, and I actually, in that book, Feel the Fight, I talk about the Pope quite a bit in there, and how the Catholic Church uses canon law, and I equate it to how the Islamic faith uses Sharia law.
00:57:10.000But when we talk about these pathways, you know, again, as we've traveled around the country in this film tour, I go and I like to walk around the cities and towns that I'm in, and I look at the different churches, and I'm looking at, and I won't mention the specific face, but they know, for anybody that's on here, they know what I'm talking about.
00:57:31.000When you're waving the rainbow flag outside of a Christian church, Okay.
00:57:37.000And you're going, we accept everybody.
00:57:39.000We accept, we accept, you know, men having, you know, being married to each other.
00:57:44.000We accept, you know, and I'm one of these people, like, I'm a very, you know, I'm a very liberal guy.
00:58:54.000And I'd get in there and I'd, you know, learn, you know, learn about it.
00:58:57.000And I would, I would Support all these guys.
00:59:01.000And I started to really think about it a lot.
00:59:04.000And I'm thinking to myself now as I fast forward to where we are as a nation, you know, there's no way in the world that if you can, like I say, if you're a Catholic, you can't be a Democrat.
00:59:16.000You just can't be because, now, you're free to be that, but if you're a Catholic and you believe in the precepts of Catholicism, then I have a tough time if you're now going to vote for something.
00:59:30.000Now, I have gone after a lot of pastors in this country, and I've gone after a lot of priests.
00:59:36.000Who I say, look, you can't preach that Bible, you can't read the Gospel, unless you have this thing called the Constitution.
00:59:45.000So why don't you talk more about, you know, you know about Luke, Mark, and Matthew, and you can rhyme in verse, and all these guys that are, you know, they always like showcase how smart they are about the Bible.
01:00:12.000So what we have to do in the church is the church has to stand up really strong.
01:00:17.000Lyndon Baines Johnson created the Johnson Amendment because he wanted to get at, he wanted to get, he wanted to basically hold his minister who he didn't like.
01:00:28.000Okay, when he was running for Congress, the minister basically said, you know, this guy's a bad guy, right?
01:01:05.000And money, like they say, is the root of all evil.
01:01:08.000So the role of the church right now, the role of the church in this country, is if the leadership is not going to be standing up at the pulpit.
01:01:17.000Because the church is not the people that I'm talking about right now.
01:01:21.000It's not the priest, or the minister, or the pastor, or the rabbi.
01:01:25.000The church is really all these people.
01:02:16.000But anyway, so, you know, the seriousness of it is that the role of the church has to play a greater role in the political life of this country.
01:02:25.000Yeah, I think they can't for a few reasons.
01:02:28.000Unfortunately, for example, like you say, if they vote Democrat, it's like, well, okay, tell that to the Pope.
01:02:31.000You know, we have a problem there as it relates to the Catholic Church.
01:03:05.000Well, it's gotta be hard, though, to be a Catholic, or for a lot of Catholics, I think it's changing now, to stand up and say, well, hold on, this is not what we believe, when they feel like they're basically opposing, you know, the authority of their United Church, of the Pope.
01:03:16.000But I will tell you, with Protestants, being a Protestant myself, yeah, it's very fractured, but a lot of it is, Mark Driscoll was on here one time, he described it as state differences versus national differences.
01:03:26.000Like, you may have a different opinion on predestination, but once you say, we don't believe in hell, That's a national border, you're no longer a Christian.
01:03:34.000But I will say this, you have a lot of people they tried to, in the name of tolerance, because their numbers were shrinking, they decided, let's get away from the hot button issues, and they equated that with fire and brimstone, because we want to be more inclusive.
01:03:45.000Another thing is, a lot of people think that the church is run by men because most of the pastors are men.
01:03:50.000But if you look at the Board of Elders, It's women who often bring their children to church, Sunday schools, and so they've had to cater to women who often say, well, we want you to be nice.
01:03:58.000This makes us uncomfortable, and in trying to be more agreeable, they've watered themselves down, and they're not, you know what?
01:04:03.000What you're seeing with the church in the United States is what you see in Europe, where you can't basically remove Christianity, which they have done, really, in modern Europe, without filling that void with something.
01:04:32.000And if you're not, you cannot fill the void of strong, fundamental Christianity with Just sort of agape love, feel good, prosperity gospel, so it's being filled with the religion of secularism.
01:04:44.000And Christians need to be stronger, not nicer and more tolerant, because people don't respect it.
01:04:49.000I think, you know, in this country, and frankly, worldwide to a degree, but certainly in this country, and again, you laid out some really interesting statistics in the earlier part of this, for those that were paying attention.
01:05:05.000Number one, you know, women are emerging as leaders partly because it's, I think we're more than 50% of our population is women now.
01:05:16.000And so, and the breakdown of the family, which is a religious, it is a religious issue, the breakdown of the family, but it's not done because it's just because guys and, you know, men and women don't like each other.
01:05:31.000The assault on the family was done intentionally.
01:05:33.000So women now are, I think, and I think women understand far more than men.
01:05:39.000I'd love to see more men involved in things that matter in communities.
01:05:44.000Women are getting more involved, like school boards.
01:05:46.000You see all these women getting involved in school boards around the country because women are generally raising their children themselves.
01:05:55.000So they're raising their children themselves.
01:05:57.000They are running at least one job, if not two.
01:06:01.000They're trying to get the kids off to school, go to jobs, and do everything.
01:06:06.000You know whereas before there was always this very natural sort of family and guys were you know the guys were to go off to work and you know all the different things that we've we've sort of reshaped our entire you know ideology about how we look at men and women these days yeah which you know we can we can sit here and debate that all day long but but I do think that women And this is what actually gives me a lot of hope in this country.
01:06:32.000I think that women are stronger, you know, just intellectually, mentally, emotionally than they once were.
01:06:41.000But they are definitely stronger, and they're showing a stronger presence in this country than we've ever seen.
01:06:46.000I think that women are not going to be fooled by all this nonsense that they put out, that they spew out in the media about, you know, orange man bad.
01:06:54.000I mean, women are looking and they're saying, this is not good for my family, this is not good for my children, and I'm not going to put up with it, so what do I do?
01:07:02.000And the number of women's organizations that are fighting for this country, you know, Moms for America, Women Fighting for America, there's these groups that have bubbled up over the last few years that have millions of followers now that are part
01:07:18.000of it and they're and they're formed all across this country. You
01:07:22.000know I mean I don't know I don't know of an organization called you know dad's
01:07:26.000fighting for I know of an organization called Mom's Fighting for America.
01:07:34.000Well, I would say, you know, not to argue with you, but that's because if you look at most of the politically active groups, they're largely made up of men.
01:07:42.000Yes, I think that women have probably a greater aptitude or willingness to serve their communities.
01:09:13.000But I do think that this matters for this country because this is an element of our country.
01:09:20.000I'm inspired, and I've been around the country now, the whole country, probably three times in the last four years, on these different tours.
01:09:51.000You go into these places, and you meet people, and you're like, wow.
01:09:56.000Like, it's inspiring because Again, back to women.
01:10:00.000A lot of women show up to these things, and I'm like, OK, what are you doing?
01:10:04.000And they're telling me what they're doing in their communities.
01:10:07.000And I would have—there's some guys, but it's not—the guys are—they come in and they kind of sniff around, and they're looking, you know, maybe it's somebody that's political that wants to get another vote or wants to see how many people are going to show up, or maybe I can get an endorsement or something like that.
01:10:23.000I just find the sentiment— Of this country right now is like, enough is enough.
01:11:02.000But when we move forward, we move forward with these sort of right and left limits called the United States Constitution, where there is equal justice for all.
01:11:10.000Not, you know, we're going to screw these guys because they are in the Trump camp, and we've got to get rid of them all because We can't have these people, you know, running our
01:11:37.000We can joke about it all day long here, but at a certain point in time, all of the voices that matter to truth, right, they will be shut down.
01:14:58.000But this, so people that are out there that don't know what to do, you kind of sit there and you go, geez, I, you know, I'm hearing all this stuff.
01:16:16.000Can you explain to people who don't know why you pled guilty, like I said, go grab the movie no matter what, because even if you're spoiling stuff in the film, they will go and watch it.
01:16:25.000Yeah, it solely had to do with my family.
01:17:33.000In a life of service, in a life of everything that I did, and I'm not this, you know, I'm not an angel, but I'm one of these people that, like, I do what is right.
01:18:03.000And they had to do everything that they could, and they did.
01:18:07.000And these people These people—and one of the things that I warned Trump about the night I left, I warned him about a couple—I warned him about one specific person, and that was Andrew McCabe.
01:18:22.000Andrew McCabe at the time was the deputy director of the FBI, and he saw—he ended up becoming the acting director for a period after Trump got rid of Comey.
01:18:30.000And like I say, Trump didn't know any of these people.
01:18:34.000He'd come into Washington—he'd been to Washington, D.C.
01:18:35.000like eight times, and most of it was to check on the I talk about him every day.
01:18:39.000It's hard for me to keep him straight.
01:18:41.000He's coming there to check on Trump Hotel.
01:18:43.000He didn't go into, he didn't know about the political, these people that are there, that are government bureaucrats, and they're in there like ticks, man, and they are just sucking the life out of our country.
01:19:57.000And if you eliminate this, everybody's gonna s**t their pants, the media's gonna go crazy, and they're gonna call you all kinds of names, so better—you better be prepared.
01:20:12.000And a guy like me, who had some idea about what I was going to do to fix the national security system, which is not just, you know, stuff in the White House, it's a system.
01:20:36.000I didn't know, I didn't know the system.
01:20:38.000I had a, what happened is I got a speeding ticket and a speeding trap and I wasn't even in my car.
01:20:43.000I was in my girlfriend's car at the time.
01:20:44.000I was out of state and I put it in the glove compartment and they posted the, it was a state where I didn't live in, put in a car that I didn't drive and they posted it to an address that I'd never been.
01:21:09.000I said, yes, but I would like to explain.
01:21:10.000This was actually a ticket given to me in a state where I didn't live, a car that wasn't mine, and I've never seen this address before in my life.
01:21:16.000And the judge goes, so you mean to say not guilty?
01:22:07.000I do believe that I would say yes to that, whatever that question is, in whatever capacity, but I would have a different set of conditions.
01:22:19.000So people would go, well, the President of the United States is asking you, how can you say no to that?
01:22:25.000And I would have a different set of conditions and those conditions would be based on an ability to be able to make decisions that must be made, not like nice to be made or I got to go back for permission.
01:24:57.000Under Trump, Trump was the first president in my lifetime that didn't go to a new war, although we were at war while he was in it, in Afghanistan and Iraq and elsewhere.
01:26:23.000But it's this idea of, we sat there, and we said, we told the world, there's weapons of mass destruction, meaning, you know, some type of nuclear capability or chemical.
01:26:45.000It's not going to be as ugly as we saw coming out of Afghanistan, where we retreated.
01:26:51.000But this Memorial Day weekend, when people are cherishing those souls who gave their lives for this country—there's many who gave their lives for this country in Iraq.
01:27:02.000And the whole—sadly, like Vietnam, based on a lie.
01:27:28.000You don't need giant no-bid contracts.
01:27:32.000We could shore that up with some efficiency when you look at the waste in the military, by the way.
01:27:36.000I don't think it's unpatriotic to say we need to treat the military like we treat other bureaucracies because there is that problem.
01:27:41.000It's a legitimate role of government, but there's a lot of fat there from people in offices We have, we have, at the end of World War II, which we had like the largest military ever at the end of World War II, we had like seven four stars.
01:28:05.000So it's like, we've taken this, we've taken this pyramid, I don't know if they can see that, but we've taken this pyramid where a little, a little few, you know, muckety mucks at the top and we got our foxhole strength at the bottom is like filled, right?
01:28:18.000What we've done is we've like, And now our foxhole strength, when we commit a rifle company to war, or we commit a rifle battalion to war, or a marine, you know, an aviation squadron, right?
01:28:30.000When we commit them, we're sending them undermanned.
01:28:50.000I joke about it because as a retired general officer, and I used to get really upset at the generals that would come, you know, the generals coming by for an inspection, and he'd have an entourage of like Fifteen or twenty people, and you're going, Jesus, I, you know, and I'm like short, you know, a first sergeant, or I'm short a couple of platoon sergeants, right?
01:30:13.000So you, you mentioned how people can support and, you know, supporting shows like this is definitely one of the ways supporting people that you believe in that are in the fight.
01:30:32.000Did the general, meaning obviously you, this is how it was written, did the general see the 2000s military laying the groundwork for woke-ism?
01:30:40.000Was it apparent to you when you were still active serving that they were kind of laying the groundwork for this DEI, for the woke kind of policy that we see in the military?
01:30:50.000You know, I will say that I thought that the way the Bush administration handled the wars, particularly under Rumsfeld, they, you know, and again, there's things that I talk about in this film that, because I want people to understand the foundation of what we are facing.
01:31:10.000So the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld administration, right, they ran these wars Like you would running the military-industrial complex.
01:31:23.000Just keep pouring the money into it, and don't worry about what, you know, we don't care what you think, Flynn, okay?
01:31:29.000Because we did tell them what we thought.
01:31:33.000Very bluntly, but we don't really care what you think, Flynn, and others.
01:31:36.000You're gonna, you know, patch on your little head, and you just keep going about fighting this war.
01:31:43.000Wokeism, I look at wokeism as this shift in acceptable behavior, like social behavior, right?
01:31:53.000I think that's more, when I think about wokeism in the military, this shift in this social experiment of Everything from transgenderism, all this sort of stuff, the kinds of things that we do in our military today.
01:32:09.000I just mentioned, you know, they got safe spaces at the U.S.
01:32:13.000Naval Academy because they're going to have safe spaces on a naval vessel.
01:32:19.000So wokeism to me is about diminishing the role and the responsibility and frankly the reputation of our military because the military is the last bastion of integrity in this country.
01:32:35.000When you show that statistic You know, at 70 whatever percent, 75 percent of how people... Positive view of the military.
01:33:11.000That's the strength of being of these soldiers, these men and women, these young men and women
01:33:15.000primarily who die for this country, who do all those things.
01:33:18.000They go to these places where nobody gives a shit if they're there or not, but they go there because they're told to go there.
01:33:24.000So our men and women in the military, and those that have sacrificed why we support this Memorial Day weekend, and we should be doing it all the time, you know, that number to me should be like in the 90s, the high 90s.
01:33:35.000So that hurts me because that's what wokeism has done.
01:33:39.000Wokeism has caused a component of our country to look at our military and go, Oh, I don't know, man.
01:33:45.000I don't know if I can trust our military anymore.
01:33:47.000They've got these weird things going on.
01:33:49.000Hey, moms and dads come up to me all the time.
01:33:53.000One of the other indicators that I look for are people that are like sergeants that have spent six to ten years.
01:33:59.000They maybe re-enlisted one time, you know, because they said, I like the unit that I'm in.
01:34:04.000I like the guys that I'm working with, so I'll re-enlist.
01:34:07.000But then all of a sudden, now what we're starting to see is we're starting to see, you know, like ten-year Sergeants that are saying, I get I can't take this anymore.
01:34:17.000Yeah, that's what I'm telling them at eight and a half years in 2016.
01:34:19.000That's when I left as a staff sergeant.
01:34:20.000Yeah, I see everybody around me, right?
01:34:28.000And to me, that's what woke ism is impacting is this love of country love of service love of, you know, you don't serve like we don't go overseas and fight our enemies because we hate them.
01:34:38.000We go overseas and fight our enemies because we love something.
01:35:17.000It's meant to be fought and won and over with.
01:35:22.000And then what you do as an American, what you do is you say to that enemy that you just fought, you say, like we did with all of Europe, We did with—hell, we're even still—we still support the g*** dang Taliban.
01:35:34.000I mean, we did with Japan, right, after World War II, and then other nations.
01:35:40.000We are such a benevolent, giving country.
01:35:42.000What we do is after—if we kick somebody's ass and we beat them badly, which we did—last war that we won was World War II.
01:35:49.000When we win, we then go back and we say, how can we help?
01:35:54.000Now we want to help you build yourselves back up, but you're not going to do it as, you know, as this as these crazy Nazis or these crazy imperialists, right?
01:37:10.000Yeah, well I think it comes down to rebuilding trust.
01:37:13.000You know, you have a lot of people, because you're talking about people who are conservatives who would be the type of people, or patriotic Americans who would want to serve their country, they lack trust in the leadership of, you know, they view it kind of as all one and the same.
01:37:24.000Military, intelligence agencies, I mean, we used to think that the FBI were the good guys, and that's something that needs to be changed from the top down so that the people who want to serve Um, the future Flynn's of the world, you know, actually are incentivized to do so.
01:37:37.000Well, we appreciate you taking the time.
01:37:39.000Again, the film is Flynn, deliver the truth, whatever the, uh, well, this is Flynn, deliver the truth, whatever the cost.
01:37:45.000I wanted to also go, which one of these books, because I don't, I can't sell everything.
01:37:50.000That first one right here, session one.
01:37:52.000Citizen's Guide to 5th Generation Warfare, Introduction to 5GW, which is what we're involved in.
01:37:57.000So the war, we are in a war right now in the world, and definitely in this country.
01:38:03.000And the introduction, if you read the introduction to 5th Generation, it's a bestseller too, which is a self-published book by Boone and I.
01:38:09.000Well, I can't read the introduction right now.
01:38:10.000No, no, no, I'm saying, I'm saying, because we're censored.
01:38:14.000I can't get a book published by one of these big publishing companies, right?
01:38:17.000So we did it ourselves, and the American people have responded.
01:38:22.000The more people understand fifth-generation warfare, the more they'll understand the challenges that we are facing, because this is not neighbor against neighbor or family member against family member.
01:38:32.000This is really these institutions that are fighting our ideology of freedom.
01:38:43.000The movie is a powerful, powerful movie.
01:38:47.000And the last thing I'd say about the movie is what we tried to do is weave the story through the persecution that my family and I went through.
01:38:56.000And put it into those that watch it to say, oh my God, I've been through the same thing.
01:39:04.000And it's the same people that are doing it.
01:39:07.000And so hopefully it encourages, and there's an encouraging component to it, a very encouraging component to it, where you will walk away and say, I have to do more.
