00:02:29.000It talks through the whole components of Russia Gate.
00:02:34.000Plus, it also touches on the sort of the backstory of Mike Flynn and why was General Mike Flynn such a threat to various parts of our government.
00:02:44.000Not just, you know, we always throw in the Obama administration, but really a threat to various parts of our government.
00:02:51.000I tell people, Charlie, that you don't become the director of DIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, which is one of the largest intel agencies in the world, or the National Security Advisor because somebody sprinkled fairy dust on you.
00:03:05.000And then people are introduced to my family.
00:03:08.000It's a very intimate look inside of my family, what my family went through, with the persecution that we faced by really the Department of Injustice, as I call it.
00:03:20.000And then how we were able to get through it.
00:03:22.000And then, you know, like I say, it's a story of survival.
00:03:26.000And we leave the audience with a sense of hope.
00:03:29.000Where we are in this country right now, the levels of corruption that everybody feels, everybody sees, but how we can rise above this.
00:03:36.000And I think it's a really inspiring story.
00:03:39.000People that are in it, not only my family, people will be introduced to my wife, Lori, who her and I have been together since we were 13 years old.
00:03:47.000So we've been together for over almost 50 years now, over 50 years.
00:03:55.000Elise Smith, who you know, and some other players from the national security arena of the United States of America, as well as, as I said, members of my family.
00:05:17.000So let's start kind of towards the end of that trailer, not of the story.
00:05:22.000It's actually towards the beginning of this particular story.
00:05:25.000Obama warned Trump about two things: North Korea and Lieutenant General Michael Flynn.
00:05:31.000Think about that, Charlie, and for your audience, your great audience, the President of the United States of America, Obama, transitioning the entirety of the United States of America to the incoming President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.
00:05:44.000And it was not very long, it wasn't a big long conversation about all the problems that the world is facing or all the challenges in the United States at the time, which were many.
00:06:03.000I talk about this specifically in the movie, get in a little bit more detail.
00:06:07.000And the other guy is General Mike Flynn, that he was so threatened by, that Obama was so threatened by a president of the United States, so threatened by an individual who he had actually hired me twice.
00:06:18.000So what people don't know, because the media only covers, you know, Flynn lied, then he had to be pardoned.
00:06:26.000You know, Obama appointed me to two really critical jobs, the director, assistant director of national intelligence, and director of Defense Intelligence Agency.
00:06:36.000And both of those appointments had to be approved by Obama.
00:06:42.000And then I had to go through full Senate confirmation.
00:06:45.000So it's fascinating that he felt so threatened.
00:06:48.000But they knew because of the things that I had done while I was in service in the military with DIA.
00:06:56.000I had looked into the various, what they call black book programs.
00:07:01.000I had done an audit of DIA, and those things always concern.
00:07:07.000Anytime you look under the rug of the money that comes through government, comes from taxpayers, comes through government, and funds these things that are unaccounted.
00:07:20.000And you're not talking about a couple of hundred million dollars.
00:07:24.000You're talking about tens of billions of dollars.
00:07:26.000So fast forward, that conversation, and I talk about, and I'll tease this a little bit.
00:07:34.000So Trump and I spoke to each other after that conversation, and I'll leave it there because it's a really, that's a fascinating conversation that he and I had about the conversation that he had had with Obama.
00:07:48.000And it's a component of everything that is wrong with our government.
00:07:54.000I mean, all the things that we see right now with all the corruption that we're seeing right now, I mean, the government, the various, you know, legislative branch, judiciary, and the executive branch of our government, there's so much when we talk about the deep state.
00:08:10.000People will see in this film what the deep state truly means and what the deep state can actually do and does on a daily basis, not just to people like Mike Flynn and Donald J. Trump, but to regular Americans all across the country.
00:08:24.000So let's just remind people, this was during the transition period.
00:08:27.000This was the kind of like ceremonial visit.
00:08:30.000Trump flies down from New York, photo op with Obama, and he pulls him aside and says, your two biggest problems are going to be a foreign dictator with nuclear weapons and somebody in our own government.
00:09:06.000You gave him a lot of credibility on the national CDC.
00:09:08.000Yeah, I mean, you know, it's just 20-plus million veterans in this country, and most of them, you know, that particular year voted for Donald Trump.
00:09:16.000So I'd like to think that I helped usher that type of voting block toward him.
00:09:23.000And because there was a lot of admirals and generals that would not do that at the time.
00:09:28.000And I felt, and I talk about this in the movie, I felt that the country needed something different.
00:09:34.000And there's some funny components in the movie where people that didn't think that Trump was going to be able to do anything was going to be able to win.
00:09:44.000And I pretty much stood my ground with him because I felt that the country did not need another Clinton or another Bush.
00:10:11.000I mean, my career and my life throughout the government, in certainly the second half of my career where you begin to, you know, you're gaining rank and you're going into these bigger and bigger jobs and things start to happen.
00:10:24.000And you are exposed to a lot of different aspects, particularly of the U.S. intelligence community, the Defense Department, the diplomatic corps, the State Department, and other aspects of our government, the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
00:10:40.000So I worked with all these organizations for many years and know exactly, you know, they like the phrase, Flynn knows where the bodies are buried, right?
00:10:48.000That's really a, and I talk about it as a metaphor for things that are going on.
00:10:53.000You know where the murder weapon is buried, too.
00:12:37.000Within days, Peter Strzzok and somebody else from the FBI, if I'm not mistaken, came in to interview you while you were a appointed executive.
00:14:00.000And that's where the coup was launched.
00:14:02.000So that day was the day that they decided we're going to go after Flynn because we cannot have him in this White House.
00:14:10.000Because the one thing that I always tell people, and like it or not, believe it or not, had I stayed in there, there would have been no Mueller investigation.
00:14:18.000So the course of history of this country was changed by going after a national security advisor of a duly elected president of the United States to undermine the presidency of the United States.
00:14:29.000That meeting on the 5th of January is the day that started.
00:15:15.000I go through this because there's some very famous statements by Comey, but there's one where he's sitting on a stage and he talks about it and everybody laughs.
00:15:25.000But there's one where he goes under oath and he states exactly what he did under oath, and most people don't know this.
00:15:32.000So I pull that statement out and I bring this into the movie because under oath, he said exactly what he did.
00:15:38.000And it was, I mean, talk about a guy that needs to be held accountable for undermining undermining the White House, undermining the authority of the president.
00:16:32.000That is best hotgrill.com for their free guide on how to choose the right infrared grill for apartment balconies to backyard entertainment areas.
00:16:41.000That is best hotgrill.com with a hot, fast Soler infrared gas grill.
00:17:24.000This would have been, no, this would have been, well, yeah, so it would have been the first week of January, 24th, 25th, you know, a week after that.
00:18:01.000We very nicely build that into this film to be able to tell people that here's the director of the FBI undermining not just the National Security Advisor, but undermining the duly elected President of the United States President Donald J. Trump.
00:18:16.000And he's doing it without, you know, following any protocol, following any normal protocol that is supposed to happen with the White House, right?
00:18:26.000With legalities and the rule of law and everything that goes with that.
00:18:30.000So that part of it really irritates people.
00:18:35.000And just to remind everybody who Peter Strzok is, Peter Strzok was the head of counter-espionage for the FBI.
00:20:00.000But, but McCabe is the more, he's the more dangerous person in this whole story.
00:20:08.000And because Strzok is, you know, the classic useful idiot, Andy McCabe was a quarterback.
00:20:16.000And I talk a little bit about this in the movie.
00:20:20.000And just recently, if I have a second, just recently on another, on a on a cable news network, you know, another network out there, Andy says on, it was regrettable.
00:21:50.000I worked with them in various combat situations overseas, especially in the world of counterterrorism.
00:21:55.000And then when I was at the assistant director of national intelligence level, I had a very senior FBI agent working for me who reported directly to Comey.
00:22:04.000And the funny thing is, Charlie, before I retired, the FBI presented me their highest award.
00:22:10.000I mean, I keep it on my wall as a joke now just to show people.
00:22:14.000And you probably thought these are patriots.
00:22:33.000In fact, I had FBI agents that were actually attached to us, us being a special operations unit, a major counterterrorist organization in the Middle East and in Central Asia.
00:22:45.000We had like upwards of 20 FBI agents, and we would go back and I briefed.
00:23:01.000It's funny, and I talk about this a little bit in the movie where when I finally retired, and I just mentioned it to you at the end, I'm not kidding.
00:23:09.000I mean, Comey brings me in and presents me in front of like a couple of hundred people how magnificent of a job and how great of a teammate General Flynn was as the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency and Countering Terrorism.
00:23:45.000Tucker actually, Tucker Charlson does a great piece in this movie to describe the relationship between the media, the intelligence community, and the government itself and other aspects of the government.
00:24:01.000You know, we talk about these different columns that we have to face, you know, the three columns of the legislative, the executive, and the judiciary.
00:24:08.000But we also talk about these other columns.
00:24:09.000And Tucker does a really wonderful job of articulating that.
00:24:14.000And it brings across to people that are watching this movie something that is happening to all of us.
00:24:20.000I mean, you know, when they say, you know, when we talk about the Department of Justice, you know, we look at what's happened with J6.
00:24:28.000They can go after the current president of the United States.
00:24:31.000They went after the National Security Advisor of the United States.
00:24:34.000You know, they are going after the top and they're going after the grassroots.
00:24:40.000And they're basically what they're doing.
00:24:42.000And this is why this movie is an important film, because there's an inspiring message at the end that really comes out of the people that were part of it.
00:24:53.000And they come at it and they answer in different ways, but it all comes together in one, I think, inspiring message.
00:25:01.000And the bottom line is that we are facing a time where they're attacking those two elements, right?
00:25:09.000The top and the grassroots of our country.
00:26:04.000So we try to weave this story of government weaponization multiple levels.
00:26:10.000I call it the, you know, it's not just the security state, the military-industrial complex.
00:26:16.000I actually, in the film, too, to set the stage, to set the foundation, we talk about how we must revisit or reassess the assassinations of the 1960s.
00:26:28.000Yeah, so why Malcolm X, Martin Luther Kami, why am I talking about that in a movie about government persecution against Mike Flynn?
00:26:38.000Because in order for people to understand how dangerous a government can be that gets out of control, we have to go back a little bit in history here, and I do talk about this, and I actually show Eisenhower in one component of the movie.
00:26:55.000We have to reassess those things because if our government is capable of doing that, those things, right, those assassinations, then what are they capable of doing right now?
00:27:04.000And I will tell you one thing that I do talk about in the movie if I have a second, that assassinations matter.
00:27:10.000And today, versus the 60s, where they could put a gun to somebody's head and shoot them, today they kill by narrative.
00:27:27.000I'm going to ask you about that very plainly because the question we get a lot is: are they going to try to physically kill Trump before November?
00:27:36.000The world is in flames, and biodynomics is a complete and total disaster, but it can't and won't ruin my day.
00:28:34.000Yes, that they're you know that's happening.
00:28:36.000Well, I just, I just, you know, it's speculation.
00:28:38.000I mean, I don't have any hard evidence about it, but you have to understand how dangerous the circumstances are that we are facing right now.
00:28:49.000And, you know, I mentioned maybe briefly at the tail end of the first segment, we talked about this global alliance that's formed against the United States of America.
00:28:57.000And that global alliance has some internal forces here in the United States.
00:29:01.000And this is this whole, you know, great reset thing, right?
00:29:08.000So when you have somebody like a Donald J. Trump who is, you know, who was the president and demonstrated a real capability, even though he was under extraordinary pressure and attacked on a daily basis, and he was still able to do the things that he did.
00:29:22.000And now we're looking at the potential for him to be the president again.
00:29:27.000There's no way in the world that these people want him to be the president.
00:29:30.000And I think that they'll do anything that humanly possible to keep him from doing that.
00:29:35.000I mean, there's no way that they're going to beat him in a fair election.
00:29:38.000And I've been called everything in the book, like one of those phrases is election denier.
00:29:46.000I deny that our elections are free and fair.
00:29:49.000And anybody that wants to show me that we have a free and fair election, I will fly to you and come and watch you walk me through it.
00:29:56.000And I'll be the first one to say, you guys have a great system.
00:30:01.000But the majority, and I've studied this, the majority of our election systems around the country are really broken, and states are responsible for it.
00:30:08.000So the question really at hand is, you know, what are they willing to do to Donald Trump?
00:30:15.000And we're watching it unfold right now.
00:30:18.000I mean, they are going to, they're clear election interference.
00:30:30.000And I know exactly what Trump is going through.
00:30:33.000His is clearly more visible because as a former president and as a guy running and as a leading candidate for president of the United States, I mean, this is beyond third world stuff.
00:30:43.000There's five examples in probably the last 50 years where somebody that was in the same situation as Trump, a leading candidate, leading opposition candidate, and these are other countries around the world.
00:30:56.000And those five individuals, they were either imprisoned or killed.
00:31:03.000And they're all, all of them, all those five that I have in my head, and I posted this on my ex-post probably two weeks ago, so people can go dig it up, but they were all from dictatorships or communist countries.
00:31:16.000So, I mean, when we look at the United States of America and the fabric of this country, what it's based on, on our Constitution, and a free and fair and respected rule of law, we don't have that right now.
00:31:58.000They don't know that because the media doesn't want to talk about that.
00:32:01.000For a long time, the media was like, I was like a darling in the media because of my time in the military and my time in combat.
00:32:09.000And yet what happened was they saw something in a guy like Trump and in somebody like me where they were like, uh-oh, this guy could actually win.
00:32:38.000And they're really, they are destroying this country.
00:32:41.000You know, I hesitate to say that they will do something like that to Trump, Charlie.
00:32:47.000But I have to believe, because as a guy that studies scenarios and analyzes different things, there has to have been a conversation that talked about that because it's like, we can't have this guy get back into the White House.
00:33:40.000So I don't want to sit here and speculate on the potential assassination of Donald J. Trump.
00:33:45.000No, but this is a real thing because, again, and this is why I say, and why in this film and the whole thing is Flynn delivered the truth, whatever the cost.
00:33:59.000It's cost my, you know, both cheeks on my rear end.
00:34:02.000But it's Flynn delivered the truth, whatever the cost.
00:34:04.000There's a reason why I go back and I say we need to reassess the assassinations of the 1960s because if our government is capable of doing those, okay?
00:34:15.000Robert Kennedy Jr., Robert Kennedy, right, who was running for president, the reason why we have secret service around candidates, this is why like Robert Kennedy Jr. today, you know, doesn't have, you know, he's been arguing to get secret service around him because he's a reason why we put the reason why we put secret service around candidates is because of the assassination of his father.
00:34:39.000So when he was killed, they then made the decision we're going to bring secret service around these candidates who could potentially be president, right?
00:34:46.000And that came out of his dad's assassination.
00:34:50.000Well, this government won't give him that respect.
00:34:54.000And so he's got to foot the bill for his own security, which is a big deal, and it's a big cost.
00:35:00.000And it's something that, you know, this is not to talk about Robert Kennedy Jr., but this is to say what our government is capable of doing.
00:35:09.000And they were capable of doing things that are just unimaginable in the 60s, for sure, and even before.
00:35:17.000So if they're able to do that then, what are they capable of doing now with many, many other capabilities?
00:35:23.000We talked about, we touched on lawfare, the law fair, billions of dollars.
00:35:27.000I mean, I mean, just all kinds of money flows into these firms that are attacking all of us.
00:35:55.000And most Americans, and this is all sides, this is not just Republicans and Democrats or mega or whatever.
00:36:01.000This is about, do you believe in this country and the way it's supposed to be, the way it was designed, and the way we need to move forward or not?
00:36:09.000You know, if you don't, then you're in some other, you know, you're living in some ideological dream or place that I'm not aware of, or I am, and it's not based on democracy in a constitutional republic.
00:36:23.000So you're going to let's put the Trump assassination thing aside for a second, because there's other concerns, and I've heard you voice this, which is what do you see on the horizon as a potential threat to make this election not like any others?
00:36:41.000What sort of asymmetric warfare do you think could be employed?
00:36:44.000Yeah, we talk about, you know, I've written a book myself and Boone Cutler, who's here with me today, we wrote a book on fifth generation warfare, Citizen's Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare.
00:36:54.000And we've written a book on a series, How to Fight Artificial Intelligence.
00:36:59.000The newest one is the role of the church.
00:37:01.000This is a series, a three-part series.
00:37:03.000And these talk about, they address the issue that you just highlighted.
00:37:16.000So they may not call it World War III, but we're in World War III.
00:37:19.000We have physical battles going on in Eastern Europe, talking about the use of nuclear weapons, which is just outrageous.
00:37:25.000We have this madness going on in the Middle East right now, and there's no end in sight, and it's not going to end well for anybody.
00:37:33.000And we have, you know, China just like hovering over the United States and actually owning, really controlling institutions in this country.
00:37:43.000We can see a greater expansion of this war.
00:37:46.000We can see an economic collapse, which I do believe we are heading into something that's going to shift the global economy and it's going to move it towards this digital currency.
00:38:04.000And if this president, who can't even complete a sentence, he decides to do that, we could actually see a scenario where we don't have an election.
00:38:40.000That means I embrace these people that are running and turning over their school boards, that are running for city councils.
00:38:46.000We need to take back every single county in this country.
00:38:50.000The weakness that we have out of the House of Representatives, many of the Republicans, I mean, the Democrats, I know where they stand.
00:38:56.000They stand exactly where they stand together.
00:38:59.000The Republican Party in this country is going to have to do the same here and do it quickly and get behind, in this case, the leading candidate for the Republican Party, which is Donald J. Trump, and stand strong with him and fight through this and not allow these people to do the kinds of things that I know that they're contemplating.
00:39:16.000I know they are contemplating many of the things that I've already talked about.
00:39:20.000Why wouldn't they do some of them if it becomes desperate enough?
00:39:23.000Well, I mean, if it's desperate, I mean, they would do something like that.
00:39:28.000They would do things that I think are out of the, you know, out of the norm and out of what people would go, whoa, what's going on?
00:39:35.000They would if they're desperate enough.
00:39:37.000If they feel that Donald Trump is going to win the presidency, I believe these people will do anything that they can.
00:39:43.000I mean, look at what they're doing now.
00:39:45.000They're trying to put this man in jail.
00:39:47.000They're trying to destroy his entire life.
00:41:41.000Universally, I mean, we have testimony on our website, FlynnMovie.com.
00:41:46.000You can see some of the testimony of many of the cities we've already been to.
00:41:49.000I mean, people of all colors, shapes, sizes, ideologies that are watching this thing are blown away by really the inspirational story of survival.
00:42:01.000But it's not just a message of Mike Flynn.
00:42:03.000It's a message for all Americans because we are going through this.
00:42:07.000What my family experienced, we're all going through this right now.
00:42:12.000We can come out of this, but we've got to, you know, like we say, if the Flynns can rise above this and defeat this evil, drive this darkness out, then America can drive this darkness out.
00:42:34.000I mean, he can win, but let me just go through briefly the primaries across the nation right now so that Trump has one hands down in the Republican primaries.
00:42:44.000The turnout, the voter turnout, folks, to the American people that are watching this and anybody that watches this online, you know, the voter turnout is less than 40%.
00:42:53.000And that's highballing it for the primaries.
00:42:55.000The general elections in this country since 1992 for president up until 2020, the general elections, the average voter turnout is 65%.
00:43:31.000Yeah, I was talking about voter turnout.
00:43:32.000Is really important because if we don't get like 75, 80, 85 percent turnout, I don't think we're going to be able to, I don't think Trump can win.
00:43:41.000I mean, if if we're at if we're at that tight spot, which is the norm, and I'm talking about 1992 to 2020, it's about 65 percent turnout.
00:43:50.000That means 35 percent of the country that can vote, that are registered to vote, do not show up.
00:43:56.000And a majority of those people, I can tell you that the numbers, it's around 30.
00:44:00.000I'm lowballing a little bit, but it's about 30 to 35 million people, and a large chunk of those are Christians.
00:44:07.000And so, all these faith-based groups out there, you know, get over it.
00:44:11.000And sorry, but people have got to go out and vote.
00:44:15.000This is not the most, you know, every time we say the presidential election is the most historic presidential election we've ever had.
00:44:22.000This one's actually the most consequential one.
00:44:24.000If we don't get this one right, then the United States of America is going to rapidly become the United Socialist States of America.
00:44:31.000Mark my words on this show, because that's what we're facing.
00:44:35.000We are facing a shift in this country, a cultural shift towards socialism, and it's a very dangerous shift.
00:44:42.000And right now, these are the people that are holding sway of power within our government, within the corporatocracy, and within other institutions that kind of run our lives on a daily basis.
00:44:55.000So, we don't get this one right, then this country is going to shift dramatically to a socialist country.
00:46:02.000And I've seen people who don't have their freedom.
00:46:07.000And when you don't have your freedom, believe me, it matters, and you can feel it.
00:46:12.000And we are seeing our freedoms being not marginally taken away, not taken away on the margins.
00:46:18.000We see whole cloth freedoms that they are trying to take from us now by this injustice system that we have and lawfare, as we talked about, that is occurring nationwide.
00:46:29.000So faith and freedom are the two real components that we must stand strong on.
00:46:35.000And I would add one thing that we need a real opposition party in this country.
00:47:01.000You're listening to a former Democrat, okay?
00:47:04.000I just recently changed parties just because I moved to Florida.
00:47:08.000But we have to have systems in our government and people who are able to join something that is for the country, whether you like big government or little government, less taxes, more taxes, all the different things, the various social programs, people do need help.
00:47:26.000But the people that need help are Americans.
00:47:35.000But what the majority of Americans don't know is America First came out of World War I.
00:47:39.000So America First came out of World War I.
00:47:41.000That bumper sticker, that phrase, wasn't something that Trump made up.
00:47:45.000It's something that he used because he recognized that if we don't take care of our country first, and this is for all parties, this is for all Americans.
00:47:51.000We don't take care of our country first, just like taking care of your home, right?
00:47:55.000If you don't take care of your house, you can't go do stuff outside in your community.
00:47:59.000You got to take care of your country first.
00:48:01.000Once we've done that, then we can continue to be that true North Star or that beacon of light or the shining city on the hill, as Reagan said.
00:48:24.000And I do believe that there's a lot of people, there's millions of people that are sort of left of center, right, on that other side of the aisle, so to speak, that are probably registered Democrats, like I was just up until recently, who just loves the country.
00:48:39.000And I'll speak as a military guy, you know, we don't fight enemies overseas.
00:48:46.000We don't go overseas to fight our enemies because we hate them, okay?
00:48:50.000You fight because you love something, and you fight because you love your family, your children, your community, your country.
00:48:58.000That's why, and many men and women that are listening that will hear this, that are veterans or have served, they'll understand exactly what I'm talking about.
00:49:09.000Most young kids, when they sign on the died of line, they sign up to be something, you know, to get out of their hometown or to learn some skill or whatever.
00:49:18.000But what they really, what they realized once they got in is that they're signing up to potentially give their life for this country.
00:49:24.000And that's one of the most sacred things that I think somebody can actually do.
00:49:34.000Those that serve this country, and I don't care whether you're serving in uniform or whether you're serving somewhere else, if you're serving the country, you're serving it out of love.
00:49:43.000You're serving it out of love for something other than what, you know, that a bigger cause, a greater cause, right?
00:49:51.000I mean, George Washington, he never talked about the American, he never said the American Revolution.
00:49:56.000George Washington always talked about the cause, and the cause was about freedom.
00:52:13.000It is a duty to be involved as a citizen.
00:52:16.000The one thing that the vote does in this country, okay, it makes us all equal at that one moment, at that moment of voting in a voting booth, right?
00:52:25.000Where the guy or gal who's the richest person in this country stands there with the person who has the least of means, they are equal.
00:52:33.000That's the beauty of the United States of America.
00:52:35.000No other country on the planet has ever done it like that.
00:52:38.000So we create an equality the moment of the vote.
00:52:43.000And if you decide, and I'm telling you, you're not alone out there, buddy, but get, you know, get over it.
00:52:48.000You know, if we have got to get people to vote, we should not have, it embarrasses me to say that we have 65% turnout in the presidential general election from 1992 to 2020, 65% turnout.
00:53:03.000You know, if we had 75, 85%, believe me, the majority of Americans that love this country, that know things are going this way or that way, they're going the wrong way.
00:53:13.000If you stood your ground and you went in there and you understood what was behind you, and you know what's behind you?
00:53:20.000What's behind you are hundreds of years of sacrifice, of blood and treasure that has been given up and families that have been destroyed because of wars that we've been involved in to protect that right that you have right now to go out to get out there and one, number you know, number one, register, and number two, vote and get off your rear end to get out there and vote.
00:53:39.000There's too many people that have sacrificed their lives that will never have a chance to vote, that will never see their children, that won't know the beauty that you're able to see in our country when you go outside your front door.
00:53:53.000So take the goddang responsibility and vote.
00:54:19.000I mean, what a sense of satisfaction that you have to be able to say, you know what?
00:54:28.000I voted for that guy or that gal, and I'm glad that I like what they're doing.
00:54:34.000Or when somebody is in there and they're doing a crappy job, you know that yet you didn't, you went in and you voted for the other person, right?
00:54:42.000And you say, well, I didn't vote for that SOB, right?
00:54:45.000And so you can at least complain about it.
00:54:47.000But if you complain, if you complain, don't complain to me if you didn't vote.
00:54:51.000I'm telling you, I'll let you have it.
