Transcript

00:00:00.000 Well, a certain general has been up to no good.
00:00:04.160 He has undermined one president and pandered to another.
00:00:08.540 He has openly sworn allegiance to radical political ideologies.
00:00:13.520 He's been inappropriately partisan.
00:00:17.280 He has violated important values.
00:00:20.080 He's insulted millions of Americans who hold to those values.
00:00:24.760 He likely colluded with one of our enemies, maybe even committing treason.
00:00:30.860 I'm actually not talking about today's guest, although that's how the media has depicted him.
00:00:36.400 I'm actually talking about General Milley, who just happens to have fashionable politics, so nobody says anything.
00:00:44.380 He wants the woke military, so he's been celebrated.
00:00:47.700 He's been applauded for his political grandstanding.
00:00:50.700 I mean, it's only a matter of time before he gets nominated for a Nobel Prize or an Oscar.
00:00:54.940 Unfortunately, today's guest is a general with the wrong politics.
00:01:01.180 In better times, he would be known as a remarkable man with a ton of accomplishments.
00:01:09.360 He should be seen as an example of what an American can accomplish.
00:01:14.260 But because of the times we live in, he and his family have lived through hell.
00:01:20.160 He has been repeatedly slandered and demonized, harassed, defamed, forced to wear the scarlet letter.
00:01:28.380 He's been banned on Twitter.
00:01:29.780 Even his bank has canceled his credit cards and accounts.
00:01:34.280 Because continuing the relationship creates a possible reputational risk.
00:01:39.940 Does it?
00:01:42.100 Perhaps most of all, he was targeted by the FBI for several years with the guidance of James Comey himself.
00:01:49.760 Russia, Russia, Russia.
00:01:51.760 Remember when that's all we ever talked about?
00:01:55.080 Well, today's guest was an early victim of Russiagate.
00:01:59.120 He was the guinea pig, the scapegoat.
00:02:02.000 He was the doorway to the president.
00:02:04.000 In the Democrats' political game, they had endless hatred and had to remove Donald Trump from the White House by any means necessary.
00:02:14.480 And they had to get him first.
00:02:16.540 Democrats had gone to great lengths to gain power, and they got it.
00:02:19.960 It's all theirs.
00:02:21.500 And now they've moved on.
00:02:23.600 But that's not the way justice works.
00:02:26.600 We're learning more and more about the truth of the Russia hoax.
00:02:30.140 It's scandalous, to say the least.
00:02:32.080 In April, documents were released proving the FBI really did target today's guest.
00:02:38.120 That was their goal, to get him to lie so we can prosecute him or get him fired to get to Trump.
00:02:47.620 I had some pretty controversial guests on this podcast.
00:02:50.500 One of the biggest reasons I started it is to have a conversation that you can't find anywhere else,
00:02:55.680 in an era that punishes people who disagree with the norms of today.
00:03:03.180 Even by those standards, today's guest is at a level of controversy that is hard to even quantify.
00:03:11.100 He's a household name.
00:03:12.440 You say his name to anyone, and you will get a response, and it's usually intense one way or the other.
00:03:17.560 So today, welcome my podcast guest, General Michael Flynn.
00:03:35.220 General Flynn, it's an honor to have you.
00:03:38.500 True honor.
00:03:39.060 Thank you so much for having me on, Glenn.
00:03:42.300 I really appreciate it.
00:03:43.520 I appreciate your audience.
00:03:44.500 I appreciate what you have done throughout your life, but also what you're doing for this country on a daily basis to really get the truth out.
00:03:53.560 Thank you.
00:03:53.960 I will tell you, and I want to get to this later, but I was shocked at the boldness of the setup of you, the way all of this went down.
00:04:06.740 And I think this podcast is so important because if they can do this to a three-star general and they can do it to the president of the United States and nobody seems to pay for it,
00:04:18.000 what makes the average American think they're not going to do it to them?
00:04:21.300 Right, and they do it to the average American people all the time, Glenn.
00:04:26.580 I call it the Department of Injustice or the Just Us Department.
00:04:33.220 They do it to people all the time.
00:04:36.520 I think the boldness that America witnessed was not just the president of the United States, Donald Trump,
00:04:44.720 but, you know, and it's not just a three-star general who served, you know, three and a half decades in the military, five years in combat.
00:04:51.920 It was the national security.
00:04:53.420 I was a national security advisor at the time, you know, one of the closest security advisors to the president of the United States.
00:04:58.800 But really, Glenn, what the people in Washington, D.C., the deep state and all these characters that are now being held unaccountable,
00:05:09.340 what they don't realize is that they did it to the American people because the American people don't, you know,
00:05:15.400 they might love the man, Donald Trump and all that, but they believe in the Constitution and the presidency of this country,
00:05:23.760 and they actually attacked the presidency, a duly elected president, so therefore they were attacking the American people.
00:05:30.540 And that's what these bureaucrats and these deep staters in Washington, D.C. don't get, and they still don't get it.
00:05:37.580 Every time they attack me, they attack them.
00:05:40.440 I will tell you that I don't think the American people are who, well, I know they're not, who the press think they are.
00:05:47.680 But the one thing that I know to be true is, had Donald Trump colluded and taken money from the Russians and all of that,
00:05:59.060 his base would have turned on him.
00:06:01.800 You know, they love Donald Trump, but they also have a sense of fairness and right and wrong.
00:06:08.720 And when the left dismisses what happened to Donald Trump and mocks it and laughs about it,
00:06:17.100 half of the country is very upset because it shows that they are not just against policies or politics.
00:06:29.560 They are against the principles that have always driven this country that, quite honestly, maybe we've been naive,
00:06:37.640 but a lot of Americans still believe in.
00:06:41.580 Yeah. Yeah.
00:06:43.040 So here's my thing these days with people.
00:06:48.040 As I go around and I talk to different groups of people about everything about this country,
00:06:53.180 my father, my mother, they handed off to my generation, to me and my brothers and sisters, a pretty great country.
00:06:59.840 My generation, this is why it's, I don't blame the kids.
00:07:02.780 I don't blame the, you know, grandkids that I have.
00:07:05.340 I actually look at my generation and I say, we screwed this up because something that you just implied,
00:07:10.660 certainly, is we've taken this for granted.
00:07:12.940 And we have taken everything that we have for granted in this country.
00:07:17.060 And now all of a sudden we're realizing that for about, you know, probably about 30 years.
00:07:23.400 So the second half of my life, the, there has been a shift in everything, education system,
00:07:30.920 our government and the route of the financial system, everything that's going on.
00:07:34.560 And now we suddenly see the boldness of what just happened in this previous election,
00:07:40.100 in the 2020 election for the presidency.
00:07:42.480 We've had, we've had fraudulent elections for over, well over a hundred years.
00:07:45.920 It goes back to the Tammany Hall days in New York City and certainly in Chicago.
00:07:50.020 But what the boldness that we just witnessed was they finally decided, you know what,
00:07:55.780 we're just going to go for the, for the gusto here, the full gusto.
00:07:59.080 We're going to take over the country.
00:08:00.700 And so now what we see, and I don't know what you want to get into, but I mean, I,
00:08:04.620 you know, the rhyme and verse about some of the issues in these latest
00:08:07.820 bills that they're going to pass and they're going to put additional burdens on the American people.
00:08:13.580 My thing, Glenn, my life, and this is where they were afraid of me.
00:08:17.240 My life has been certainly military and I can go back, you know, in all the years of,
00:08:22.920 you know, the tactical stuff that I did.
00:08:24.460 But the second half of my career, I really got into the, more of the senior leadership
00:08:29.560 of the U.S. intelligence community.
00:08:31.820 And I really began to understand the strategy and the policies that our country was getting
00:08:37.200 itself involved in all over the world.
00:08:39.680 I mean, I was very against, and I said it publicly, you know, later on in my, in my,
00:08:44.840 in my life, certainly when I became a civilian, I very outspoken about the decision to go into
00:08:50.520 Iraq, as an example, one of the, one of the greatest strategic failure type decisions that
00:08:56.480 we have had certainly this century, because it's, it caused so much mayhem and, and, and
00:09:01.580 confusion and, and, and frankly, you know, the death of, of many American service members.
00:09:08.420 And so anyway, my, my life has been around that sort of stuff.
00:09:14.360 And so all of a sudden I get involved in the political life of the country.
00:09:18.480 I, I get, I meet with Donald Trump.
00:09:22.020 We connect, we have this great connection.
00:09:23.740 I was, you know, I got to help him out in the, in the election run up to 2016.
00:09:28.680 And boy, I'm going to tell you the, the, you know, the quote unquote deep state, the intelligence
00:09:33.860 community, particularly the intelligence community and specifically the CIA, uh, you know, people
00:09:38.840 came after me, uh, certainly the, the, the Clinton machine machinery, uh, came after me,
00:09:46.100 because when you're the national security advisor, uh, for the United States of America, not just
00:09:51.720 for the country or for the, uh, a president, uh, because I've always seen myself as somebody
00:09:57.720 who is all about country first, you know, my faith is, is certainly super important, but
00:10:02.680 country first and then, uh, and then the person, right.
00:10:05.620 Um, you know, if I didn't think that, uh, that Donald Trump was going to ask me to do
00:10:09.420 something illegal, ethical, or moral, I would tell him, uh, that, that, that I, I'm, you
00:10:14.600 know, I'm going to throw my stars down, so to speak, and walk out the door because it's
00:10:18.020 always about country.
00:10:19.060 What's best for the country?
00:10:20.080 What's best for our constitution?
00:10:22.020 And, and I know that, um, the things that I would have become aware of, the things that
00:10:27.360 I am aware of, the, uh, the, the, the bastions of, of corruption inside of, uh, our federal
00:10:34.820 government, particularly the United States government, Washington, DC, they, they did not
00:10:39.800 want me, uh, mucking around in their world.
00:10:43.100 Okay.
00:10:43.380 So let me ask you this.
00:10:44.420 Let me go back a bit.
00:10:45.640 Is it because when you were DIA, um, you were very outspoken on Islamicists different than
00:10:54.680 Islamic Islamicists is, is a very specific term and a very, uh, dangerous, uh, uh, element
00:11:05.240 that we have to deal with.
00:11:06.780 You were very, very clear on that.
00:11:08.880 Was that something that you think was the beginning of their hatred towards you?
00:11:15.640 Yes, absolutely.
00:11:17.720 And, uh, because I pushed back on a number of, uh, what we call these national intelligence
00:11:22.580 estimates that are all, you know, inside that there's this inside baseball, um, on, on the
00:11:29.000 situation in Afghanistan, the situation in Iraq, the situation in, in, uh, in our fight
00:11:33.940 against Al Qaeda, the, you know, when the, when the message was bin Laden's dead, Al Qaeda's
00:11:38.900 on the run, that was not the, the, the, that was not reality.
00:11:42.980 That did not reflect reality that we knew to be true.
00:11:46.580 And I'm a guy coming off the battlefield and my life in the military is really to try to
00:11:50.780 help us win, not participate in wars.
00:11:53.420 And that can be another discussion if you want to go down that rat hole.
00:11:56.500 But I will tell you that, uh, I was, I was very, I was outspoken, but I, but I was outspoken
00:12:03.900 inside of the chain of command.
00:12:05.960 Right.
00:12:07.120 So I never went out and, you know, and went to the media and, you know, and did anything
00:12:11.280 like that.
00:12:11.660 I, I was very loyal to the constitution, to my chain of command.
00:12:14.900 And I would tell them, Hey, this is not right.
00:12:16.420 This is, and I would push back and I wasn't going to, I wasn't going to be somebody who
00:12:20.760 was going to be told, well, you just need to, you know, shut up and go away.
00:12:24.120 Uh, because I was, uh, you know, I've said, no, I, I'm not going to sign off on one of
00:12:29.340 these estimates that the intelligence community puts out that says that, you know, the, you
00:12:34.020 know, the entire intelligence community agrees that this happened.
00:12:37.280 And I was going to be one of those people that wasn't going to do it because we knew
00:12:40.640 my agency at the time knew that that wasn't the case.
00:12:44.260 And in fact, when we were saying, when the, when the, uh, political leaders were saying,
00:12:50.000 uh, uh, Bin Laden's dead, Al Qaeda's on the run, Al Qaeda was actually rising.
00:12:54.720 And I think at that time, if I have the numbers, right, I think that they were growing in like
00:12:58.880 24 nations around the greater, uh, Islamist world that you highlighted.
00:13:05.280 And, um, you know, you, you then fast forward after I get out of the military and I wrote a
00:13:09.880 book called the field of fight and it's a national bestseller and, uh, the field of fight where
00:13:16.440 I called out, this was after I get out of, out of uniform, I called out the Obama administration
00:13:20.860 because I was, I was really deathly afraid, you know, of what, uh, we were allowing to
00:13:27.380 happen, that we were allowing the growth of this radical form of Islamism.
00:13:32.260 And, and I'm going to tell you, Glenn, it's still, it's still, uh, growing and it's on the
00:13:37.160 move.
00:13:37.720 Oh, I think, yeah, I think we're headed for a great road.
00:13:39.880 Um, I want to get to that here in a, in a second.
00:13:43.320 Um, the media will not leave you alone last week.
00:13:49.880 I think it was the salad dressing, addressing story that they were putting, that you had
00:13:54.980 said that they were putting the vaccine in salad dressing.
00:13:57.800 And I mean, it's ridiculous.
00:14:00.220 Yeah.
00:14:00.400 I was reading an article.
00:14:01.520 It is ridiculous.
00:14:02.380 I was on a, I was on a great podcast with a, with a friend and, and, uh, Thrive Time USA
00:14:08.160 and, uh, and there was an article.
00:14:11.460 We were talking about a totally different issue, but he right away started off with whatever
00:14:15.620 was in the news that day about the, uh, the latest, uh, message coming out of the White
00:14:20.160 House on COVID vaccines.
00:14:21.440 And I said, have you seen this article, uh, where the California Institute of Technology
00:14:26.140 in Santa Barbara, California is actually studying that.
00:14:29.380 And I just, so, so I said that, I said, have you seen this article where they're talking
00:14:32.580 about putting some sort of vaccine into, into our salads?
00:14:36.200 And I, and I, like as a, because it was an article that I read that morning.
00:14:39.780 And so now the media is like, well, he's a conspiracy theorist.
00:14:42.980 Now he's telling us that every, he's telling all these people that we're going to have it
00:14:46.120 in, you know, in our, in our, I'm sure.
00:14:47.780 You know, I got to tell you, if you're trying to get the people who are anti-vaxxers to do
00:14:53.400 it, you got to put it in some sort of a steak sauce.
00:14:56.140 We don't eat salads.
00:14:57.740 Um, uh, the, this, this, this, they're definitely after me.
00:15:03.860 Oh, I know they are.
00:15:04.600 The story that, uh, the Citibank, um, stopped your family from doing chase, chase.
00:15:15.360 Manon, um, and they were the ones that, um, uh, stopped your family from doing business
00:15:23.500 with the bank because of, they felt it would do reputational harm.
00:15:28.480 Is that true?
00:15:29.620 And what's the whole story?
00:15:31.840 Yeah, so great.
00:15:32.620 I appreciate you asking about this.
00:15:34.080 It's chase bank.
00:15:34.940 We had two accounts.
00:15:36.300 They sent us a letter and it was a very curt, you know, curt letter.
00:15:41.140 And the letter said, and I posted it online.
00:15:43.900 The letter said that you represent reputational risk there, you know, Flynn family.
00:15:49.660 We had two accounts that were, that were, uh, basically they closed them.
00:15:54.400 Um, and they would no, no longer do business with them.
00:15:57.200 We'd never missed a payment in those accounts.
00:15:59.580 Uh, you know, my, my, my credit, you know, has, is, is really superb.
00:16:05.760 Always has been.
00:16:06.660 I've been one of these guys that my wife and I, you know, we pay all of our bills on time.
00:16:10.780 Always did with these two accounts.
00:16:12.220 So then all of a sudden we get this letter and my wife was like really upset about it.
00:16:16.020 And it was embarrassing.
00:16:17.560 And, uh, you know, and I'm like reputational risk.
00:16:21.520 And so, um, you know, chase bank.
00:16:25.220 And I think we had those accounts for about 10 years.
00:16:27.640 So chase bank doesn't want to have us do business anymore.
00:16:31.080 But then one of the things I said to my wife, I go, so what's that, what's that mean?
00:16:34.320 And we talked about it.
00:16:35.080 Cause she, we kind of do our own little family finance stuff.
00:16:38.240 And I said, I said, so, uh, do they still want us to pay the annual fee?
00:16:43.200 You know, do they still want us to have this thing and pay the annual fee?
00:16:45.800 So I told my wife, I said, you know, cancel those damn things right now.
00:16:50.380 We're not paying these guys another dime.
00:16:52.100 And I'm really upset about this and I'm going to make it a public thing because I put it
00:16:56.400 out on, on my social media because I was just really irritated that, you know, and then
00:17:01.780 one of their excuses was that Flynn is a common name and it was an operational oversight and
00:17:08.540 should have never happened because Flynn is a common name.
00:17:11.180 I kid you not that I have on record.
00:17:13.620 So, um, you know, Flynn's not a common name and, and certainly Michael Flynn, anybody that
00:17:20.000 understands banking and records and how they do these kinds of things, they got to make
00:17:24.140 a conscious decision about this.
00:17:25.720 So I, I am, I am upset about it.
00:17:29.120 It was embarrassing.
00:17:30.800 Um, it should never happen.
00:17:33.020 And now we're, here we are on the, on a blaze TV talking about it.
00:17:37.440 And I know, I know that many millions of Americans and maybe that number's, maybe I'm, um, um,
00:17:43.620 saying too much there, but I, it's not paying me millions, but it's certainly people that
00:17:48.880 heard about this.
00:17:49.900 Cause I've been contacted by people who have big accounts with Chase who said, I just want
00:17:55.560 to confirm with you because I'm no longer going to do business with Chase.
00:17:58.560 And I said, yep, that's, that happened.
00:18:00.400 And here's what I think happened.
00:18:01.900 And there's my two cents.
00:18:02.820 And, and so Chase made a huge error because like, like Washington DC does sometimes in the
00:18:09.520 mainstream media does sometimes they don't get the sentiment of the American people.
00:18:13.620 And, and, and how many American people got behind my family and I, and I've said this
00:18:18.880 elsewhere, Glenn, the American people, you know, for the last four years of five years
00:18:24.220 of my life have been buddy breathing with me and my family to help us survive because
00:18:30.260 they felt such an affront.
00:18:32.560 Because as you set up, as you said at the beginning of the show, if they can do this to
00:18:36.780 me, they can do this to them.
00:18:37.960 And I know that there have been people that have come to me particularly in my family that
00:18:42.400 have given us their, their, their sort of life story about how the Department of Justice
00:18:46.700 went after them just because they could.
00:18:49.800 And the Department of Justice, and I'll say it here, as I've said it publicly, they are
00:18:54.600 all about convictions and not the truth.
00:18:57.500 That's what they're, the Department of Justice, particularly the, the attorney, you know, they'll
00:19:02.440 watch this because they're watching everything that I do.
00:19:04.520 And they're going to be, oh, that son of a gun, Flynn, there he goes again.
00:19:07.180 Well, you know what, quit, quit seeking conviction and let's help find the truth.
00:19:12.780 That's what you're supposed to do as a lawyer.
00:19:15.980 And if you're a prosecutor, you know, don't prosecute, let's, we got massive problems with
00:19:21.260 illegal immigration.
00:19:22.600 We got massive problems with still with the opioid crisis and drug cartels bringing drugs
00:19:26.880 into this country.
00:19:27.580 We got massive, you know, we have massive corruption inside of our own government.
00:19:31.840 We have massive problems overseas.
00:19:33.320 Focus on the problems that our country actually has to deal with instead of kowtowing to the
00:19:38.240 political left in this country and doing their bidding.
00:19:41.080 If you're a lawyer of any salt, that's what you need to do.
00:19:44.460 I will tell you, General, that I'm one of those families that stood with you.
00:19:50.000 We don't do business with Chase, nor will I ever do business with Chase because of that.
00:19:55.320 This is, that was a very, very disturbing thing that I honestly don't think was an, was an
00:20:03.600 accident.
00:20:04.160 But let me, let me go to how we got here.
00:20:10.200 The, the, first of all, tell me personally what it was like to go through this Russia witch
00:20:16.840 hunt.
00:20:17.580 What did it feel like to you?
00:20:21.300 Yeah, it was horrible.
00:20:22.400 It was a horrible sense of, of betrayal by, uh, our own United elements within our own
00:20:30.320 U S government, a huge, huge betrayal and everything that we know now.
00:20:35.380 Uh, and we're, and we're finding out more and more.
00:20:37.520 And I think this, this latest indictment on this Sussman character.
00:20:41.100 So every day, more, more evidence comes out of the, of the betrayal, not just of me.
00:20:47.640 I, you know, I, I mean, I'm, I'm a pretty upbeat guy, honestly, and I, you know, I'm
00:20:52.260 not a vindictive.
00:20:53.020 I don't want to have hate in my heart, Glenn.
00:20:55.360 Um, but they, they, uh, they betrayed, they being, uh, you know, elements of our federal
00:21:00.440 government, the justice department, the intelligence community, um, people that were in our, uh,
00:21:06.320 white house, our previous white house, previous to, to, uh, excuse me, to, uh, Donald Trump.
00:21:11.360 Um, they betrayed me, therefore they betrayed our country.
00:21:16.540 And, um, so it was really hard.
00:21:18.740 It was really, really hard.
00:21:19.900 From the federalists.
00:21:21.460 There's five points, uh, that they bring up on this Sussman thing.
00:21:25.580 Um, and they say fifth prevalent rejoiner played over the last week involved invoking the name
00:21:31.080 of Michael Flynn.
00:21:32.260 Even if true, the Washington post editorial board wrote the Sussman episode is far less alarming
00:21:39.820 than the case of former national security advisor, Michael Flynn.
00:21:45.580 What, uh, what, what, what, what is it?
00:21:48.100 What is it that they claim still that you did?
00:21:51.500 I mean, the, the evidence is clear.
00:21:55.260 You know, one of the, one of the fascinating components of this story, one of the, the senior
00:22:02.120 agents, FBI agents by the name of Barnett, and you can go pull this up unless they've taken
00:22:07.440 it all down, October of 2020.
00:22:10.220 So the name Barnett, who's an FBI agent, very senior guy, and he was one of the lead agents
00:22:15.260 for Crossfire Hurricane.
00:22:17.660 Crossfire Hurricane was the, uh, the investigation with this whole Russia gate, right?
00:22:22.040 So Agent Barnett in October of 2020.
00:22:25.380 So, so, uh, you know, just at a year ago now, October, 2020, after all the Mueller investigations
00:22:30.940 over with my case had been dismissed by the department of justice after a special counsel
00:22:35.280 investigated, the, the investigator, so to speak, and found egregious government misconduct.
00:22:40.660 Uh, the department of justice says case dismissed in October.
00:22:44.420 That was in May of 2020, uh, 20, in October of 2020.
00:22:49.060 So fast forward about whatever that is for four or five months.
00:22:53.340 Barnett gives a, uh, essentially a deposition, an affidavit, a 302, and it's about nine pages
00:22:59.140 in that 302, which is really, really, uh, stunning.
00:23:03.960 He basically says the entire effort, the entire Crossfire Hurricane effort was get Flynn to
00:23:11.780 get Trump.
00:23:13.160 And that's the senior and one of the lead agents, Barnett is his name, for Crossfire Hurricane.
00:23:19.840 So for all of this, they just love to bring in the disgraced former national security advisor,
00:23:25.960 lied to the FBI, and then had to get a pardon by Trump.
00:23:29.220 They leave out all the stuff in the middle.
00:23:31.380 You know, the, the lying to the FBI, I didn't lie to the FBI.
00:23:35.700 The FBI changed the 302.
00:23:37.880 What is it?
00:23:38.440 What's a three?
00:23:39.120 What's a 302?
00:23:40.440 Okay.
00:23:40.760 Yeah, good, good.
00:23:41.640 Yeah.
00:23:41.820 302 is a, is a document.
00:23:44.060 So if you get interviewed by the FBI, they write it down in something called a three, a
00:23:50.040 302, which is a document that the FBI uses to capture the essence of a conversation that
00:23:57.220 they have with anybody.
00:23:58.440 Got it.
00:23:58.600 So anybody that the FBI talks to, they're supposed to write a 302.
00:24:02.040 It's kind of like an affidavit, you know, it's a legal binding document.
00:24:06.020 And so, you know, they don't have to record their call, their conversations.
00:24:09.600 So they, they took notes and we now have the majority of those notes from that meeting.
00:24:14.940 And they said they, during that meeting, they said, I didn't lie.
00:24:18.640 They then changed the outcome of the 302.
00:24:21.520 Normally a 302 is supposed to be done within five days.
00:24:25.300 They were still messing around with mine.
00:24:27.020 I think it was four or five months later where Andy McKay, before he was fired by Trump, was
00:24:31.480 still mucking around with it.
00:24:32.660 So, so we now know that they changed the 302.
00:24:35.780 They changed the tone of the conversation that I had with those FBI agents.
00:24:40.880 They, they, they admitted that I didn't lie to them.
00:24:44.140 You know, I mean, I, I, at the time I had, you know, I mean, I'm, I'm, when I'm in my
00:24:48.940 last days or my last day with Trump, and I think Trump felt very uncomfortable.
00:24:52.980 And he and I have had many conversations since then, since my, since my pardon, because I
00:24:57.960 didn't talk to Trump.
00:24:59.240 I hadn't talked to Trump once from the night I left the White House until the day that he
00:25:03.900 called me up and said, Hey, I got to give you a pardon here.
00:25:06.020 And I, and I, and it's called a pardon of innocence, Glenn.
00:25:09.600 It's really not something that's normally given because I wasn't guilty of anything.
00:25:14.100 I was never convicted of anything.
00:25:16.520 So this is what's stunning is they did this to the national security advisor of the United
00:25:22.940 States of America.
00:25:24.060 And they did it really at the height.
00:25:26.060 So at the height of the Mueller investigation was when all this was coming to a head because
00:25:31.620 and I say the height, it was really the beginning of the Mueller investigation, all the other
00:25:35.500 characters that, that now the world knows that came out of the Mueller investigation, the principal
00:25:40.440 character that they needed, because the other guys really, sadly, didn't really matter, but
00:25:45.600 they still were taken to, you know, they were still, their families were, were, were hurt.
00:25:49.900 They really needed a guy like me.
00:25:51.900 So I, then I go through, you know, essentially a couple of years of cooperation.
00:25:55.900 And, you know, and I think that they, they were looking for me to, to give up anything, you know, to say
00:26:02.500 anything.
00:26:02.920 And I'm like, I'm one of these very, you know, and I hope your audience and hope you get a sense of me
00:26:08.720 talking right now.
00:26:09.720 And I'm one of these very, like, you know, I'm a very honest guy.
00:26:12.120 Very, you know, I mean, ask me something.
00:26:14.440 If I don't know it, I don't know it.
00:26:15.460 If I, if I, if I do, I'll tell you, I'm not going to bullshit anybody.
00:26:18.820 Excuse my Irish, but, you know, because my business was saving people's lives in the battlefield as a
00:26:24.920 soldier, as a, as an intelligence officer, especially as an intelligence officer that, you know, and I
00:26:29.180 served in combat on the battlefield where I was responsible for, you know, the deaths or the lives of
00:26:35.300 people.
00:26:35.840 So my life is not like what they portray it to be.
00:26:40.980 And that's our media, but that's, and you know, you know, this, I mean, I, you know, the people know
00:26:45.020 this, the American people don't trust the institutions of government.
00:26:49.360 They don't trust the media and they're, and they're, they're discovering other paths.
00:26:53.900 And that's a sad state of things.
00:26:55.660 And I will tell you for all of the, all of the people that listen to this, that are trying
00:27:00.160 to find out if there's some snippet that Mike Flynn gives that, you know, whatever that
00:27:04.060 they can use against me.
00:27:06.500 The more that they do that and the more distrust they bring to themselves, the more the American
00:27:12.460 people have run to my aid and, and to the aid of, of those of us in the country.
00:27:19.060 I'm going to tell you, they don't trust it.
00:27:21.680 I can, I can go at, you know, rhyme and verse.
00:27:24.080 They don't trust the intelligence community.
00:27:25.740 They don't trust the department of justice.
00:27:27.340 They're now not trusting the department of defense.
00:27:30.360 And to a degree, they don't trust our senior military leaders because of this debacle in
00:27:34.600 Afghanistan.
00:27:35.560 Nobody can be that incompetent, right?
00:27:37.840 Right.
00:27:38.160 They don't trust, you know, the white.
00:27:39.980 I mean, they just, trust is such an important commodity.
00:27:44.300 It's the glue that holds us together.
00:27:47.120 If we don't have faith and trust in the institutions, we don't, we really don't have, we don't have
00:27:55.440 anything.
00:27:56.100 I will tell you too, that I told Donald Trump this when, I think it was during Kavanaugh.
00:28:03.180 Uh, I had changed my opinion of Donald Trump because I saw what he was doing and his policies
00:28:10.380 were not the policies that I thought he was going to implement.
00:28:14.180 They were sound policies.
00:28:16.740 So I, um, you know, I go on the air and say, I just want to admit I was wrong on this.
00:28:21.880 Thank God I was wrong on this.
00:28:23.480 Cause I thought we were headed for a horror show.
00:28:25.300 And then I saw, I saw what they were doing to him and then what they were doing to Kavanaugh
00:28:31.060 and I got on the air and I said, the media is making me a bigger Trump supporter than
00:28:39.580 I've ever been.
00:28:40.620 I mean, because it's, you see this injustice and this, this vendetta against him.
00:28:48.900 So let me ask you on the Trump front, I have my theories on why he could not be president
00:28:58.640 and everybody thinks the media was so mad at themselves because they helped him get
00:29:02.300 elected.
00:29:02.840 I don't think so.
00:29:04.180 I think that there is this great reset agenda and Donald Trump would have never gone along
00:29:10.440 with it.
00:29:11.140 And they all had their plans of what the world was going to be like.
00:29:14.740 And he was upsetting that and he had to go.
00:29:17.720 Why do you think he was targeted?
00:29:21.380 Like, like no one else has ever been targeted ever, ever.
00:29:25.280 This has never happened in our history.
00:29:27.000 And frankly, we are, we are, our nation is going through a massive, massive transition
00:29:32.600 and we're going to have to make a decision here.
00:29:36.000 You know, if not now, then, then very soon about which direction our country goes.
00:29:40.540 So why?
00:29:41.520 Because Trump, you know, Trump was on peak as a, as a guy out of New York businessman,
00:29:46.700 he played both sides, you know, one day he can be a good Democrat, one day he can be
00:29:50.740 a good Republican, it depended.
00:29:52.620 So Trump knew, he knew that sort of depth, you know, of, of ugliness within the, within
00:29:58.820 that, that world of Hollywood, New York media, Washington, DC, you know, he sort of had a
00:30:04.040 very good fingertip feel for what was happening.
00:30:07.960 And he always talked, as everybody knows, he always talked, I'm one of these days, I'm
00:30:10.800 going to get involved in, I'm going to run for president one of these days and, because
00:30:13.640 I think I can fix this, right?
00:30:15.140 I mean, you know, that's, that's the, that's the mindset that he had.
00:30:18.800 And, and so, so Donald Trump decided one day, you know, and I met with him in 2015, it was
00:30:25.940 right after he announced, I met with him right in the early days of his, of his announcement.
00:30:30.180 And, and I would just tell you that when he got involved, it was a joke, it was a big joke.
00:30:35.720 But I will tell you, in all my conversations with Donald Trump, candidate Trump, because
00:30:41.300 I'm one of these guys, you know, I'm a, I'm a stay out of war kind of guy.
00:30:44.400 I'm a military guy.
00:30:45.300 I mean, you know, everybody that Trump hired after me were, were like of the neocon crowd,
00:30:50.520 right?
00:30:50.960 So I'm not one of these, you know, I'm a, I'm a military guy that's very practical.
00:30:54.500 So we talked about practical things.
00:30:56.840 We talked about practical foreign policy.
00:30:59.260 We talked about trade agreements.
00:31:01.000 We talked about national, big national security issues.
00:31:05.000 We talked about domestic issues that had a national security bent.
00:31:09.900 So Donald Trump, they knew that Donald Trump was going to come in and not have,
00:31:14.400 of these radical ideas.
00:31:16.080 He was actually, I mean, he was going to have very common sense, very basic American values
00:31:21.740 type ideas.
00:31:23.260 And so what they needed to do is they needed to turn him into this, you know, this womanizing,
00:31:27.700 you know, grotesque figure of a man that was going to, that was going to ruin the United
00:31:31.920 States of America.
00:31:33.200 Right.
00:31:33.360 And, and, and of course he's up against the machine, not only the democratic left machine,
00:31:38.900 but the Clinton machine.
00:31:40.040 And, you know, Hillary Clinton didn't even, she didn't really, she was kind of like in
00:31:43.900 the Biden mode, but in 2016, she really didn't campaign much in the last couple of weeks of,
00:31:48.120 uh, of 2016 before the election.
00:31:50.840 You know, she didn't go to a couple of States and because they, I think the system was rigged.
00:31:55.480 I say it was rigged then.
00:31:57.200 It just wasn't the mail-in ballot rig.
00:31:59.520 Right.
00:31:59.900 You know, so Trump comes into office and they had to keep beating and beating and beating on
00:32:05.200 him, which they did.
00:32:07.320 And it turns out the guy's actually doing so many good things, you know, reducing, you
00:32:12.840 know, all the different, uh, you know, all the negative factors and he's increasing all
00:32:17.200 the positive factors and people are turning around and going, wow.
00:32:20.280 And the media kept hammering him for Russia, Russia, Russia, which is false, false, false.
00:32:25.080 And, uh, and then here we are with, cause I do have some, I do have some things that I
00:32:31.400 think that Trump needs to do now, but I, that he should have done then.
00:32:35.460 And I, and, and I was not there to help because I do one thing that I did have was a good
00:32:39.840 relationship and I still do.
00:32:40.800 And I still, I still think he, he would, he would continue to make a great president is
00:32:45.940 imperfect as he is, uh, because he's a very practical sound, uh, you know, policy type
00:32:53.180 guy that looks at common sense.
00:32:54.640 And, you know, let's, when he says make America great again, it's all of the different aspects
00:32:58.780 of our lives, you know, but I, I do think that he, he trusted people in his administration,
00:33:04.500 particularly after I left, uh, and as, as things, um, wane into 2019 and 2020, he trusted
00:33:11.860 people, particularly on this COVID issue and the, uh, and the, um, you know, some of the,
00:33:17.980 some of the, the people that we now know that were behind, uh, what we're facing now,
00:33:23.260 you know, Fauci to be one, um, you know, and so, so there's some, there's some people
00:33:28.680 that he listened to that, frankly, Glenn, and this is for your audience.
00:33:32.500 I, I hope that, you know, as you, as you play this out, I don't, I don't really pay
00:33:37.780 any attention to the Democrats anymore.
00:33:39.760 And I won't use that word again.
00:33:41.540 I don't, I don't pay any attention to them anymore.
00:33:43.400 Cause I know what their game plan is.
00:33:44.920 I know what their, I know what their war strategy is.
00:33:48.460 What I worry about, Glenn, is I worry about the Republicans in name only.
00:33:52.320 I worry about the Republican establishment and the Republican establishment in this country.
00:33:57.060 They, they have lost touch with the base.
00:34:01.260 I don't think they've lost touch.
00:34:02.380 I don't think they like the base of the party.
00:34:05.500 Yeah.
00:34:06.260 It's a better way to put it.
00:34:07.520 Yeah.
00:34:07.780 No, I agree.
00:34:08.400 I completely agree.
00:34:09.360 They, I, you know, as I go around, I just spent, I spend these weekends going around to
00:34:14.200 these different rallies that we're having, that we're holding with a group of people who
00:34:17.480 care about the country.
00:34:18.740 And we're, you know, we're national security.
00:34:20.860 We're, you know, independent media.
00:34:22.760 We are doctors now because, because of the COVID nonsense.
00:34:27.240 And I call it the COVID confusion, you know, so we're going around doing these rallies and
00:34:32.260 I'm telling you, we have 3,000, five, we just had about 5,000.
00:34:36.700 We have 12,000 showing up.
00:34:38.640 And these are very active.
00:34:40.180 These are people that are, they're, they're from all places in the country.
00:34:44.260 They're not just from the flyover states.
00:34:46.400 You know, we did a big rally in, in, uh, in, uh, Anaheim, California, you know, a while
00:34:51.820 ago.
00:34:51.980 We just did one in Colorado this, this past weekend.
00:34:55.200 So the, the sentiment of the American people right now is they can, you talk about some
00:35:01.820 Republican Senator, or you talk about the Republican establishment.
00:35:05.760 And I mean, they're like, you know, you should hear the, the, the boos and hisses coming from
00:35:10.360 Oh, I know.
00:35:11.120 You know, you can talk about, you can talk about the other side, the left, right?
00:35:14.680 And everybody knows that, that it's a, it's basically a communist view of, of a, of a,
00:35:22.540 of a, of a direction that is, that we are being dragged by the nose hairs along.
00:35:28.560 And so they don't even care.
00:35:30.820 It's like they care about that, but it's not, they don't see that as the problem.
00:35:35.260 They see the problem.
00:35:36.460 This is America now.
00:35:37.540 This is the American sentiment.
00:35:38.820 And I believe that it's a, I, I, I have a really good feel for this because I've, I've,
00:35:44.520 this is my business is to, is to get around.
00:35:47.220 And I, and I, and my intelligence collection, right?
00:35:50.080 My, my judgment of what I'm seeing in this country, they do not trust.
00:35:54.920 Cause we talked about trust of institute.
00:35:56.320 They don't trust the Republican establishment anymore.
00:35:58.780 You're exactly right.
00:35:59.460 They really don't because I mean, Glenn, we lost faith there.
00:36:03.060 We lost faith there before we lost faith in other institutions.
00:36:07.240 They were first.
00:36:09.640 Exactly.
00:36:10.580 Exactly.
00:36:11.300 So, you know, let's face it.
00:36:12.360 So we just had this, this, this, you know, latest hearing in Arizona for the audit.
00:36:17.840 Right now, you know, the media right away.
00:36:20.140 And I honestly, I don't know where you guys stood on it, but the media, the big media right
00:36:24.040 away said, even before the hearing started, they said, well, we, you know, nothing to see
00:36:28.240 here.
00:36:28.980 We had a leaked report and Biden won.
00:36:31.640 In fact, he won by more boats than, than whatever in Arizona.
00:36:34.400 Well, you know, actually, I don't even think that there was a leaked reporter.
00:36:38.320 Cause if there was, I dug around in my network and I, I didn't get a leaked report.
00:36:42.000 You know, I don't know if you got a leaked report.
00:36:43.660 I didn't get one, but I, but I heard all the nonsense coming out of the media.
00:36:47.940 And so I think that they just made that up.
00:36:49.660 And I think that they, then they made up the fact that let's, let's beat this before
00:36:53.400 the thing even starts on this Friday afternoon, before the hearing even starts.
00:36:57.580 So just one piece of evidence, one piece of evidence that came out of that hearing,
00:37:01.320 there were a million, uh, well, so in late February timeframe, there was a deletion of
00:37:08.520 files, knowing that the subpoena was coming, knowing that the audit was coming.
00:37:12.000 And I believe that they have this on tape.
00:37:14.520 Okay.
00:37:14.960 For the person that's out there that did this, they actually have this on videotape.
00:37:19.840 Um, so during the hearing, they said there was a million pieces of evidence that were
00:37:23.760 destroyed.
00:37:24.480 Well, federal election law, and there's some statute, you know, five, zero, two, one, one
00:37:30.040 or something like that.
00:37:30.800 If I remember the numbers, right.
00:37:31.760 But don't hold me to that.
00:37:32.980 That says every one of those pieces of evidence that was destroyed comes with a $10,000 fine.
00:37:38.880 And I think it's a one year, uh, you know, uh, in jail.
00:37:42.460 Yeah.
00:37:42.700 I mean, it's all felonies, a felony.
00:37:44.480 So they did that in February.
00:37:46.480 That was briefed in the hearing.
00:37:48.360 So now you're going to tell me that there was no fraud.
00:37:50.960 And when, when I hear Republicans talking about, well, we've had fraud, like I can, I
00:37:56.440 know I can give you some names here, but they've been public about it, but they, they, uh, when
00:38:00.540 they say, well, you know, a little bit of fraud.
00:38:02.800 So yeah, we have fraud in every election.
00:38:04.700 I don't care if it's one dead voter.
00:38:07.560 I agree.
00:38:08.260 No, I don't care if it's one shadow.
00:38:10.780 We should, we cannot have.
00:38:12.700 Cause that's the other institution.
00:38:13.860 And frankly, so let me, I'll shut up here.
00:38:16.560 Uh, the other institution that nobody in our country has faith in any longer is the institution
00:38:22.100 of our election process, which is the most sacrosanct privilege that we have, because
00:38:28.040 guess what, Glenn, it makes me equal to you on that day.
00:38:32.200 And our vote is supposed to count equally.
00:38:34.840 Well, what we just learned is that it doesn't, uh, we have a, we have a massively broken system.
00:38:41.060 It's got to be fixed.
00:38:42.540 And I'm not sure the country can move forward until something, until someone is held accountable.
00:38:49.340 I just, uh, had this conversation with, uh, somebody in the house and they were talking
00:38:55.940 about, you know, the, the fraud and the possible fraud fraud and everything else.
00:39:00.880 And we ought to move on.
00:39:02.260 And I said, America cannot move on.
00:39:04.860 It cannot move on.
00:39:05.980 It, it, you must have a legitimate hearing and a legitimate process that is completely
00:39:15.020 transparent and led by leaders of, of the community that everybody trusts.
00:39:22.660 You know what I mean?
00:39:23.920 You have to have a real hearing on this.
00:39:27.340 And I've, I've said this from the beginning.
00:39:29.680 I don't know if there were enough votes to, you know, vote him out of office or keep him
00:39:35.500 in office.
00:39:36.080 I don't know, but I do know this.
00:39:38.920 Something was wrong.
00:39:40.680 Something was very, very wrong.
00:39:43.080 So whether it would have kept him in office or not, I don't know, but that has to be solved.
00:39:48.420 Let me ask you about January 6th, because, um, you know, my, my stance on this was, and
00:39:55.520 quite honestly, you'll never convince me that that was a fair election.
00:39:59.000 I just don't believe it.
00:40:00.040 I just don't believe it.
00:40:01.140 Maybe it was, but I don't believe it.
00:40:03.620 However, when it came to January 6th, there's nothing in the constitution on January 6th that
00:40:10.700 would have allowed anybody to overturn that and keep him because of the, the constitution's
00:40:18.700 rules.
00:40:19.700 And it seems unfair, even if we would, let's say Arizona, we found out it was massive fraud.
00:40:26.960 The constitution doesn't afford anything as a remedy to that.
00:40:32.360 Once the president has been voted by the states and the electors, it's done.
00:40:38.540 And if you don't have that solved by January 20th, um, well, I don't think there is a, if
00:40:45.280 you don't, it, it must be done by January 20th.
00:40:48.880 So what did you think on January 6th?
00:40:51.800 And I'm not talking about the, the worst thing since the civil war.
00:40:55.220 I'm talking about the, what should have been done?
00:40:58.440 The decision.
00:40:59.260 Yeah.
00:40:59.860 Constitutional, the constitutional process.
00:41:02.240 Correct.
00:41:02.780 In the, uh, in the Senate.
00:41:04.220 And I think that's, that's really the, the, your question.
00:41:06.260 And I think that's an important issue because we have a constitutional process and it's,
00:41:11.500 it, it has been, um, it has been adjusted.
00:41:14.260 I think one time where it was late in March when, uh, and I think this is back in the era
00:41:18.860 of Lincoln, but, um, but that constitutional process on the 6th of January, the decision
00:41:24.320 was made.
00:41:25.520 Some tactics that I disagree with was there were senators that came in, in the, in the morning
00:41:30.800 with, uh, they were going to vote not to, not to certify.
00:41:34.120 And then in the afternoon, because of what happened there, they voted to certify and I'm
00:41:39.500 not sure what, like, so what changed?
00:41:41.620 Yeah.
00:41:41.780 You're voting on constitution or the not.
00:41:44.480 Yeah.
00:41:45.260 Right.
00:41:45.920 Right.
00:41:46.260 Exactly.
00:41:46.920 Exactly.
00:41:47.340 So that, that process, that decision was made constitutionally with all of the, the,
00:41:53.600 the right players.
00:41:54.540 And, and so we move forward, right?
00:41:57.340 We move forward as a nation.
00:41:58.780 That doesn't mean though, that we cannot continue to dig in.
00:42:03.160 Correct.
00:42:03.640 To find out if, if this election actually was fraudulent.
00:42:07.860 Because it can't happen again.
00:42:10.560 Glenn, there's hundreds of precedent at other, in other elections down at, in the federal elections
00:42:16.300 and in state elections down below the presidency that have been overturned because of in time,
00:42:22.660 more evidence comes out, there's court, you know, there's this fight, somebody doesn't,
00:42:26.360 somebody doesn't concede and they fight for the seat.
00:42:28.760 The gal up in, uh, up in New York 22, and I forget her name now, but she, she continued
00:42:33.400 to fight and she won the seat, you know, because she found that there was fraud in, uh, in her
00:42:38.660 particular election in, uh, in the, in the New York congressional, uh, race as part of the,
00:42:43.800 the three November.
00:42:44.560 So, so there, now what we're talking about though, is we're, we're talking about the presidency
00:42:49.920 and the media is beating up on everybody and, and calling, and, you know, calling us all
00:42:55.620 conspiracy theorists, like, like you saying, well, you're a conspiracy theorist.
00:42:59.200 If you believe that the three November election was fraudulent, I believe it wasn't done properly.
00:43:03.720 I do.
00:43:04.240 I do.
00:43:04.500 I actually don't care whether, in fact, this is not about Trump.
00:43:09.800 I mean, I'll get out there and I'll say, yeah, Trump was a great president.
00:43:12.200 I'm like, I support the guy.
00:43:13.560 I still support the guy, but this is an American issue.
00:43:16.240 And I said earlier that America is at a massive transition point, right?
00:43:22.340 And that transition point is we are going to go down a path of socialism or communism,
00:43:27.380 but we're going to go down this path of this continuation of the experiment in democracy
00:43:31.760 called the constitutional Republic.
00:43:33.760 I don't really care about Trump because all of us are a blip on the historic screen of life
00:43:38.740 of this country.
00:43:39.760 If we want to continue to last, you know, for, for 200 more years as a constitutional
00:43:44.520 Republic, we have got to get this resolved, you know, to have a fraudulent election at
00:43:49.880 a congressional district and get it overturned.
00:43:51.860 That's one thing, but we're talking about the presidency.
00:43:54.900 I ain't talking about president Trump right now.
00:43:57.160 I'm talking about the presidency of the United States of America.
00:44:00.080 Yep.
00:44:00.520 And I can tell you from an American, as an American, as a, as a guy who still, I mean,
00:44:05.640 I grew up in a, in a, you know, you know, I love to just talk about my family, but I grew
00:44:10.320 up in a, in a, in a tough family and my father retired as a Sergeant from the army, 20 year
00:44:16.360 vet, World War II, Korea Irishman.
00:44:19.060 Right.
00:44:19.280 I mean, and our, our life was kicking rear.
00:44:21.420 And as you're, as he was getting you out of bed in the morning, because you were trying
00:44:24.400 to oversleep and he's telling you to go deliver the newspapers at five o'clock.
00:44:27.300 What I'm telling you is that the American people do not trust what happened.
00:44:30.280 And I will, and the other thing that I would say is that nobody voted for the, for what
00:44:36.540 we are facing right now.
00:44:38.060 We're facing, I think we're somewhere between five and 6% inflation rate.
00:44:43.960 We've got, you know, the, the gas down the street from my house is I think $3 more than
00:44:49.080 when it was a year ago.
00:44:50.420 I mean, you know, we're paying a couple extra dollars, you know, in for a gallon of milk,
00:44:55.300 you know, we, you know, there's jobless, I mean, there's a lot of things happening that
00:44:58.300 we say to ourselves as Americans, I didn't vote for this, I didn't vote for this at all.
00:45:03.040 And that's where the sentiment of the American people out there, that's what, that's what
00:45:06.820 they feel.
00:45:07.320 That includes, that includes, I think, Glenn, probably, probably half of the other party.
00:45:13.400 You know, I really do believe that there's a lot of sleepers out there now that go,
00:45:17.540 Ooh, wait a second.
00:45:18.180 I'm not sure I, you know, I have remorse now.
00:45:20.460 I have remorse, you know, voters remorse.
00:45:22.560 Yeah.
00:45:23.880 I hope you're right.
00:45:25.240 One, one of the things that I saw that I thought was very hopeful was during this dishonorable
00:45:34.600 debacle in Afghanistan that America collectively woke up.
00:45:41.580 And, and to me, that shows that there is still a Judeo-Christian ethic out there of honor
00:45:49.480 and integrity and tell the truth.
00:45:51.720 And we don't see it very often, but that was so shocking to the American people that
00:45:57.920 we would leave our own behind and leave our friends behind.
00:46:01.940 I think that, uh, I, I, I think that said good things about the American people, horrible
00:46:09.840 things about our ruling class.
00:46:13.080 Yeah.
00:46:15.720 So I'll just briefly, well, talk about Afghanistan because what I, what did I feel when that
00:46:21.420 happened and all that, not just the attack, but how we were leaving and then the attack
00:46:24.980 happened, you know, the, the attack against these 13 brave souls, uh, who, um, you know,
00:46:31.880 uh, just so sad.
00:46:33.400 I was actually irritated with our military more than I was with the white house.
00:46:37.120 Cause I just know that the incompetency of the people there, literally the incompetency
00:46:41.640 cause I know these people.
00:46:42.960 So wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, I want to, I want to, uh, let's, let's dive into this
00:46:47.740 carefully because I, people tell me that, uh, Joe Biden is not really there.
00:46:53.260 He's not in control of his faculties.
00:46:55.200 I'm not sure that's entirely true.
00:46:57.520 I think he has, you know, maybe non lucid moments, but I think he knew about this.
00:47:03.120 And I think the, um, the leadership at the Pentagon knew exactly what it was going to cost, but
00:47:10.460 they didn't have the balls to do anything different.
00:47:13.720 Yeah.
00:47:14.260 How accurate is that?
00:47:16.040 We're not that, I think it's very accurate.
00:47:18.200 I think that we're, we're not that stupid.
00:47:19.820 The military is not that stupid.
00:47:21.260 This is tactics one-on-one.
00:47:22.760 They teach these kinds of case studies of how to, how to do these kinds of military operations
00:47:27.460 in, in infantry, you know, career courses for young officers.
00:47:31.080 I mean, so we're not, we're not that incompetent, uh, at all.
00:47:35.060 So there's gotta be a level of knowledge and complicity is a really strong word to use here.
00:47:40.260 Um, let me, let me just go back one second on the, on the American people, the honor and
00:47:45.920 that you talked about.
00:47:47.420 Um, I also think that the American people are still the most forgiving.
00:47:52.380 Yes.
00:47:52.900 And, and if, if we do something wrong and you, and you, and you admit it, right.
00:47:58.840 You say, ah, I did something wrong.
00:48:00.000 I'm sorry.
00:48:00.400 I mean, no, I, I wasn't thinking or whatever.
00:48:03.000 Uh, you know, the American people will, will forgive.
00:48:05.820 Agree.
00:48:06.360 Uh, there, so Afghanistan, I think that's a big deal.
00:48:09.780 I think, I think forgiveness is one of the biggest character traits of the American citizen.
00:48:15.220 Um, one of the greatest strengths that we have is the ability to forgive, not forget, but forgive.
00:48:20.080 Afghanistan is an unforgiving, uh, uh, debacle and the American people are not going to let
00:48:27.040 this one go, uh, because we still have American citizens.
00:48:31.720 And I, I know this for a fact that are left behind, uh, you know, enemy lines.
00:48:37.460 And yet I know you're, you're helping out in an extraordinary way.
00:48:41.100 And I, and I appreciate that, uh, you know, if, from just a one, from a guy who served
00:48:46.640 over there a long period of time and know what, how horrendous these people are that
00:48:50.980 we're facing.
00:48:52.060 Um, but there, you know, there's these efforts to get these, these brave Americans out of
00:48:56.340 there who are just our, our, our nation surrendered.
00:48:59.820 We retreat, we surrendered to the Taliban.
00:49:01.760 We retreated under fire.
00:49:03.500 Uh, and, and we, we, uh, basically left American citizens behind enemy lines.
00:49:09.420 I mean, that's the only way I can say it again, we're not that stupid.
00:49:12.480 We're not that incompetent.
00:49:13.520 So there's a level of complicity here.
00:49:15.580 That's really dangerous.
00:49:17.280 I, so, so why, you know, why let me just give you my minute on that.
00:49:23.060 I, I think why is because part of it is I think when we talk about institutions and faith
00:49:27.500 and institutions, the last bastion of integrity, and I think that the American people still
00:49:33.580 have faith in is our military.
00:49:35.960 I really believe that.
00:49:36.820 I have to believe it because moms and dads are still sending their sons and daughters to
00:49:40.660 serve, but not in droves anymore.
00:49:42.860 And I'm going to be paying very close attention to our recruiting numbers here this year and
00:49:47.000 next year, because I think it's, they're going to be down because of what just happened.
00:49:50.820 Oh yeah.
00:49:51.200 Um, so I think this administration actually wants to put a body blow into the military's,
00:49:56.840 uh, integrity and into the military, uh, is, you know, the confidence that the American
00:50:00.900 people have in the military.
00:50:01.860 I actually think that that's, I mean, I don't, I can't understand, I can't explain it in any
00:50:06.560 other way other than to say this.
00:50:09.560 General, you are, I mean, I'm sorry, I have tried to give the benefit of the doubt, but
00:50:16.140 again, something, if it was a mistake, if it was, you know, not intentional, occasionally
00:50:24.100 things would break to the American side, but everything that is being done is destroying
00:50:32.000 us or the institutions.
00:50:34.280 It's dividing us.
00:50:35.740 You couldn't, you couldn't come up with a better plan.
00:50:39.840 You just couldn't.
00:50:41.040 Yeah.
00:50:41.540 Glenn, I was on the phone the other day, Saturday, I believe early Saturday morning.
00:50:46.540 Uh, so this is Monday, early Saturday morning, whatever that date is, the 24th, maybe, um,
00:50:51.840 of, of, uh, September with a friend who was on his way.
00:50:55.780 And he was, he was at the, really, he was at the Del Rio bridge in Texas where the Haitians
00:51:01.400 were, right?
00:51:02.220 Because I'm bringing, I'm, I'm, I'm making an analogy of what it is that we're talking
00:51:06.280 about now with Afghanistan.
00:51:07.880 And so he got down there and he said, you're not going to believe this.
00:51:11.420 He goes, they're all gone.
00:51:13.260 So remember the pictures of Friday, you know, all last week of these Haitians underneath
00:51:17.280 the, he goes, they're gone.
00:51:19.080 And I said, what do you mean they're going?
00:51:20.420 And he goes, yeah, they must've pulled them out of here last night.
00:51:22.780 Cause we're not seeing those pictures anymore.
00:51:24.360 Right.
00:51:24.640 Cause the, cause the, uh, and the administration is, you know, we'll tell you, I think, I think
00:51:29.960 what they're going to try to say is, well, we pushed them all back.
00:51:32.680 No, they didn't.
00:51:33.180 They put them on planes, trains, and automobiles, and they shipped them all over the country because
00:51:37.240 they didn't want that.
00:51:38.180 They didn't want that media attention anymore.
00:51:41.040 And this was a guy that was going down there to do some, he was going to get down there and
00:51:44.800 do some investigation and some work to see what they, what, how he could help.
00:51:48.780 They're gone.
00:51:50.760 He says, they're gone.
00:51:51.300 I said, what the hell do you mean?
00:51:52.160 They're gone.
00:51:52.820 He goes, they're gone.
00:51:53.440 There's no, there's, there's just trash down here.
00:51:55.720 It's trashed.
00:51:56.740 And now I was told this morning, in fact, a few minutes before coming on your show, that
00:52:00.980 we're now looking at about another hundred thousand people from multiple countries that
00:52:05.600 are on their way up the, uh, up through Mexico now to come to the border again.
00:52:10.000 You know, I, I lived, I was stationed at Fort Huca, Arizona, which is a border, which is
00:52:14.360 federal property of military installations, the home of the army intelligence center in
00:52:18.120 school.
00:52:18.780 And I was stationed there multiple times, particularly in there, you know, not, not, you know, right
00:52:23.320 before the war started 20 years ago.
00:52:25.280 And we used to have 10,000 illegals a month crossing federal property at that time.
00:52:31.400 That was 2002, 2004 timeframe.
00:52:34.420 I mean, so when we look at Afghanistan and we look at the decision-making that happened
00:52:39.900 there, and we look at the decision-making that's happening at our own border, because
00:52:44.160 the border is a, the reason, there's a reason why we put locks on doors.
00:52:48.880 There's a reason why we put walls up around our fences, up around our, our neighborhoods,
00:52:53.320 right?
00:52:53.680 Because you want to keep people out and you want to keep things, the right things in.
00:52:57.980 And so we, we have a, a, a white house, cause I agree with you.
00:53:03.000 I'm not a doctor.
00:53:03.900 I mean, you know, does, does Joe Biden look like he doesn't know what's going on sometimes?
00:53:08.400 Yeah, he does.
00:53:09.100 Absolutely.
00:53:09.480 Does he go off a script?
00:53:10.620 Yeah, he does.
00:53:11.720 You know, I'm not a doctor to diagnose his mental health, but, but the decisions, the decision-making,
00:53:18.280 man, I served at the highest level of our government to support decision-making.
00:53:22.260 And we made decisions early on before I did get out of the, you know, before I did have
00:53:26.780 to depart the white house.
00:53:29.140 So I, I know what that means.
00:53:30.920 And the decisions being made by this white house are really just decisions that are so
00:53:36.600 against the American psyche and so against the fabric of our constitution.
00:53:41.480 And I actually think that they're, they're working towards, as I said, a transition towards
00:53:46.200 a different form of government in this country.
00:53:48.200 And you've been talking about this for a long time, Glenn, we can't get ourselves.
00:53:53.360 It's, uh, it's too late to kid yourself about it.
00:53:56.520 Um, let me talk about general Milley for a second.
00:53:59.820 Um, you know, he made a phone call to China and said, Hey, listen, we're not going to attack.
00:54:08.320 If something like that would come up, I'll call you in advance.
00:54:11.740 That's not the kind of conversation that the Logan act came gunning for you on.
00:54:20.280 Where does that fall to you as a general for Milley to make that phone call to talk about
00:54:28.400 an attack?
00:54:29.860 Um, while the president was, it's not a transition.
00:54:33.400 The president was, was seated at the time he was working for that president.
00:54:37.640 Duly elected president is a duly elected president United States of America.
00:54:41.960 Mark Milley is the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and staff is a key word.
00:54:45.820 And I'll say why here in a second, by law is the senior, uh, military advisor to the president
00:54:51.560 of the United States of America.
00:54:53.540 And, and our, the beauty of our constitution has placed the military as a subordinate to
00:54:59.460 the, to the, uh, to the political class of our country, to the president, right?
00:55:03.580 That's why that one of the hats that the president wears is, is, is the, uh, commander in chief.
00:55:08.400 Correct.
00:55:08.660 So for Milley to have done what he did, he was usurping the authority.
00:55:12.040 He was breaking the law.
00:55:13.300 He was in violation of the law really.
00:55:15.480 Uh, but he was usurping the authority of the duly elected president of the United States
00:55:18.940 at the time, Donald J.
00:55:20.100 Trump.
00:55:20.820 And, and he was basically, you know, indicating, giving our, giving our enemy, you know, the military,
00:55:28.380 we don't look at, we don't look at the, as China as a competitor, like, uh, the commerce
00:55:34.160 department would, or as a colleague, as the state department would, we're the military.
00:55:39.940 Our business is to fight and win our nation's wars and not to, you know, not to pussyfoot
00:55:45.460 around.
00:55:46.000 So for, for Milley to have called up his counterpart and say, Hey, don't worry if we attack, I'm
00:55:49.980 going to call you, you know, and for Trump to find out about this after the fact is obviously
00:55:55.400 he's just, he's finding out about this conversation that Milley had just recently, you know, in
00:55:59.960 the, in, because of this book that's out, I mean, Milley should, should, he should resign
00:56:04.960 the fact that that came out.
00:56:06.320 He should throw his stars down and say, I'm, you know, not throw his stars down.
00:56:09.140 He should, he should, you know, humbly hand them into somebody.
00:56:12.980 Um, we, we cannot, again, back to the American people, the American people, Mark, that's Mark's,
00:56:20.400 that's Milley's first name.
00:56:21.680 The American people, Mark, do not have faith and confidence in you any longer.
00:56:24.760 Because of what we just discovered, and you have not come out and denied it.
00:56:29.080 He has not come out and denied it.
00:56:30.680 And I know Mark Milley.
00:56:31.660 I've known him for a long time.
00:56:33.040 I know Lloyd Austin.
00:56:33.880 I actually know Lloyd Austin better than I know Mark Milley.
00:56:36.480 And I'm, I, I know these guys.
00:56:38.960 This is, this is not good for the constitution of the United States of America, which is what
00:56:44.720 we, I adhere to.
00:56:46.640 It's not good for the presidency.
00:56:49.000 It's not good for the military.
00:56:50.560 And it's not good for the people of this country, because the people of this country, when they
00:56:54.420 start to have, when they start to lose faith in our, in our uniform, those that wear the
00:56:59.360 cloth of the military, and our uniform service members at the senior level, when they lose
00:57:04.200 faith, they no longer send their sons and daughters to serve our country.
00:57:08.500 That's dangerous.
00:57:09.400 Because that's not only about the health of the institution of the military, it's the health
00:57:14.760 of the institution of our country.
00:57:16.320 If we don't have young men and young women who are willingly, will willingly sign on the
00:57:22.280 dotted line and give their lives for you and I to have this kind of a conversation of, you
00:57:27.580 know, a public discourse about what's, what's happening in our country.
00:57:32.360 We're, we're in trouble, Glenn, we're in trouble, Glenn, with our, with that, uh, element of
00:57:38.560 our, of our government, that institution of our government, when people start to lose faith
00:57:43.220 in the leaders of our military, you know, set aside the, the, the, the, it's not just a
00:57:48.980 losing faith in the military, the American people.
00:57:52.420 Um, it is also all of our allies.
00:57:56.280 I mean, I can't imagine, can you imagine the prime, what would happen if you were still
00:58:04.320 national security advisor and the president refused to take a phone call from the British
00:58:11.060 prime minister?
00:58:12.720 Would you have known about it?
00:58:14.020 How many people would have known that for 40 hours, the British prime minister was trying
00:58:19.200 to reach the president?
00:58:20.700 Everybody, everybody in the white house, everybody in the inner circle, because I can tell you that
00:58:24.480 from a national security advisor's perspective, believe me, those relationships are, are extraordinary
00:58:30.640 and they're, they have to be open and honest between national security advisors of different
00:58:36.720 countries.
00:58:37.160 And I, I spoke to, uh, I spoke to damn near every national security advisor of the, of
00:58:42.320 probably half the world, Glenn, going into that job.
00:58:45.440 You know, the one that comes out as a, you know, of course, my, my, my conversation with
00:58:49.440 the ambassador of, uh, of Russia, right?
00:58:51.320 That's like, oh my God.
00:58:52.220 But so, yeah, so everybody around the president would know that is in a key position.
00:58:57.180 Chiefs, the chief of staff, the national security advisor, the secretary of defense, the secretary
00:59:01.800 of state would all have been receiving phone calls from their counterparts saying, you know,
00:59:06.760 WTH, right?
00:59:08.520 Instead of the other one, WTH, uh, what's going on there?
00:59:12.640 What's happening?
00:59:13.340 We're, we are, we are seriously concerned.
00:59:15.780 So, so, um, that's, that's another ugly episode of American leadership.
00:59:23.860 And I use the word leadership, uh, you know, in a really unsatisfying way, uh, because that's
00:59:31.960 what we're up against.
00:59:33.220 I mean, that's what we're, we're facing a group of people talk about cabals and the use
00:59:37.180 of word cabals, right?
00:59:38.820 Cabals for the great reset, the cabal inside of the white house right now.
00:59:42.640 And that includes Susan Rice.
00:59:43.880 We have not mentioned, I have not mentioned her name, Susan Rice.
00:59:46.600 So she's in there as a, as a assistant to the president of the United States for, for
00:59:51.500 God knows what, she's got a title, but boy, I think she's doing a lot more.
00:59:55.100 And so anyway, I just, she'd be another one.
00:59:57.460 People would be calling all these different key people to say, Hey, we, we need some help
01:00:03.240 here.
01:00:03.460 And then, and then, you know, not to mention this issue with the, with this nuclear issue
01:00:07.660 out in the Pacific with the Australians and then where the French got upset, right?
01:00:11.700 I mean, these are big, big deals with our alliances and our partnerships and our, and
01:00:17.240 our friend, those, those who are friendly to us around the world, um, who are starting
01:00:22.440 to see what's happening to America.
01:00:26.000 And, and they're, and they're, I'll tell you what's going to happen.
01:00:29.020 What's going to happen, Glenn, is when the going gets tough and it's going to get worse
01:00:34.100 here, Glenn, the sacrifices are going to be greater going forward than they are.
01:00:38.020 And we've already, that we've already felt.
01:00:40.620 So when the going gets tough, these alliances will turn on us and they'll turn on us quickly,
01:00:46.240 particularly with this crowd that's in the white house right now, um, because a lot of
01:00:50.380 America feels they're illegitimate.
01:00:52.100 I think that these leaders around the world, at least the ones that have, that have kept any
01:00:56.980 legitimacy with their own people, uh, they, they look at, they look at what's going on
01:01:00.960 and they're like, Oh man, we, we can't deal with these guys, especially if they're not
01:01:03.940 being honest, forthright, if they're not returning our calls and we've been with them for years.
01:01:08.520 So tell me about China.
01:01:09.900 I'm, I'm, I mean, they are playing chess and we're not even playing checkers.
01:01:15.080 Uh, we're, we're, we're, we're playing hopscotch that some other playground, um, China
01:01:22.140 is making overtures where they're playing.
01:01:25.160 So, cause I know, I know cause of time, but so the big winner, okay.
01:01:31.260 The big winner for your audience and for anybody that watches this on any social media, the
01:01:35.460 big winner is China.
01:01:36.820 So the big winner, the last century was a U S century.
01:01:41.920 China made a, China made a commitment that this century was going to be the century of
01:01:46.160 China.
01:01:47.120 Okay.
01:01:47.600 That's big strategic 60,000 foot level, big winner in Afghanistan, China, the big winner
01:01:53.180 on the, on the global stage right now, China.
01:01:56.060 So the Chinese military is actually, is there on there, they are starting to be on a footing
01:02:03.680 with the U S military.
01:02:04.740 Why?
01:02:05.000 Because they've stolen a lot of our technology and they just rebuilt it.
01:02:07.900 They've stolen the blueprints to make drones.
01:02:10.520 They've stolen the blueprints to make anti-aircraft weapon systems.
01:02:13.640 They've stolen the blueprints to make jets.
01:02:15.820 I mean, guarantee that that kind of stuff has happened.
01:02:18.440 So, and they, and they are smart.
01:02:20.620 They are inside of our federal government.
01:02:22.640 They're inside of our education system.
01:02:24.360 And this didn't happen because of Donald Trump.
01:02:26.820 This has been going on for the better part of a, of probably four or five decades.
01:02:31.940 Sure.
01:02:32.260 I can tell you, it's been going on for at least the last two and a half decades.
01:02:35.920 And I can, I can almost pinpoint the timeframe when it, when it really began in earnest in
01:02:41.360 the nineties and then in the mid to late nineties.
01:02:43.560 So, um, so China's the big winner, uh, right now we have to, um, you know, we have to really
01:02:52.160 pay close attention, Glenn.
01:02:54.240 Uh, I think that there's any legitimacy to anybody that's still in our government that
01:02:58.320 still feels, you know, that they, they have a, uh, uh, any, any, any passion for our constitution
01:03:04.460 and they're in a senior position in our U S government.
01:03:07.040 You know, they need to, they need to come, they need to step up and, and, uh, and, and
01:03:12.740 speak out, uh, and be brave because the American people want accountability and the American
01:03:19.300 people, they, they not only deserve this, but they are leadership positions and that's
01:03:23.840 courage, selfless courage, you know, with a, with an element of humility, uh, that we
01:03:30.840 need in our country right now, but we're, we're really, we're really in a, we're in a
01:03:35.840 tough spot and I'm not going to hold back.
01:03:37.880 We're in a tough spot, Glenn.
01:03:38.860 And you, you, you know, you, you talk about this all the time and you've been talking about
01:03:43.040 it for a long time, you know, even in your case and, you know, and, and play it or not,
01:03:47.760 but the media try and the, and the, and the left tries to buttonhole who you are, right?
01:03:53.020 You've been through this.
01:03:53.760 I've, I've, I've been, I've been, you know, watching your career and watching what you've
01:03:57.340 done in the media.
01:03:57.940 And actually you bring us, you bring an element, a huge element of honesty and forthrightness
01:04:03.940 and no nonsense, no bullshit to the media.
01:04:08.340 And I, and I, in this first media interview we've had, we've never met, never met.
01:04:12.460 I just telling you that I know, I know what our country is feeling right now.
01:04:17.760 I do.
01:04:18.180 And I feel it because I'm just a regular guy.
01:04:20.800 I made it to general through a public university.
01:04:24.300 Okay.
01:04:24.580 I'm not a West Point guy.
01:04:25.820 I worked my ass off and I deployed, I took the hard jobs that nobody else wanted.
01:04:30.820 And so, you know, I'm an Irish kid from a, from a family of nine and my father, and like
01:04:36.300 I said, I wasn't kidding.
01:04:37.220 He used to kick us in the rear end and get us, he'd throw us out of bed.
01:04:39.960 He did the old throw up the, throw up the, uh, the mattress like he probably did in many
01:04:44.480 barracks, right.
01:04:45.840 To his own kids.
01:04:46.800 So, uh, I'm just telling you that we're in a difficult spot.
01:04:51.500 The American people know it, but what they're looking for is, okay, what do I do?
01:04:56.360 What can I do?
01:04:57.680 And I'll leave you with this.
01:04:58.960 My phrase that I have, uh, that I have jumped on is local action has a national impact.
01:05:05.580 Yep.
01:05:05.700 So when I go out and I talk to people, I say, quit complaining about Washington, DC, quit
01:05:11.120 complaining about your state's Capitol and your governor.
01:05:13.440 What are you doing?
01:05:15.340 You know, what are you doing?
01:05:16.020 Like the old John F.
01:05:17.280 Ken, you know, what are you doing for your country?
01:05:19.400 Right.
01:05:20.040 What are you doing for your town?
01:05:21.160 What are you doing for your family?
01:05:22.300 Get involved.
01:05:23.420 Local action has a national impact.
01:05:25.200 I do believe that that's one weapon system that we still have in our arsenal of millions
01:05:30.080 and millions of millions of, of really of this sort of, because you did highlight it.
01:05:35.680 There's a Christian element in our country that still exists, and they're not people that wear
01:05:42.400 their faith on their sleeve.
01:05:43.680 You know, there are some of those, but there's hundreds of millions of us that are really ready.
01:05:54.780 And so my message, get involved.
01:05:57.020 Local action has a national impact.
01:05:58.700 If your school board is teaching critical race theory and they're teaching filth and pornography
01:06:03.640 to our 10-year-olds in elementary school, don't complain to me about your school board.
01:06:08.140 You voted for them in.
01:06:09.020 Go run for school board.
01:06:10.220 Amen.
01:06:10.580 The next time around, go, or don't show up with three people.
01:06:13.680 Show up with 3,000 to the next school board hearing.
01:06:16.180 Right.
01:06:16.980 You got me on my soapbox.
01:06:18.140 Local action, national impact.
01:06:19.520 Let me, let me close with this question.
01:06:21.080 I know we're running late, but I, in 1972, something happened in your life.
01:06:29.640 A little girl climbed into a car, and I don't believe that a man who starts out in 1972 like
01:06:40.340 this, that that ripple doesn't go all the way through your life to today.
01:06:47.360 Um, and I can't imagine, uh, I just, I just don't believe any of the dishonorable stuff
01:06:55.920 that the media tries to place on you, and it must kill you.
01:06:59.860 Tell the audience what happened to you in 1972.
01:07:03.160 Yeah, I appreciate you bringing that up.
01:07:04.800 I mean, 1972, we were with a bunch of, I was a kid, you know, I was born in 1958, so I was
01:07:09.200 14, maybe.
01:07:10.420 I was a kid, you know, we were playing out in front of, in a front yard with some, with
01:07:14.000 some friends in a neighborhood, and a car, uh, was the, kids were playing in the car,
01:07:19.400 a break was released, there was two children playing at the bottom of a, of a long driveway,
01:07:24.160 car starts to roll, and so I, there was the two children were there, and there was a car
01:07:29.760 that they were playing at that was parked at the bottom of the driveway, and both those
01:07:34.240 kids would have likely been crushed.
01:07:35.660 And so I, I, I yelled, I moved quickly, you know, uh, probably instinct more than anything
01:07:42.620 else, had another kid, another kid there, and I said, grab, you know, her and these
01:07:46.740 children, we grabbed them.
01:07:48.160 And, you know, long story short, my hometown, um, you know, made a nice, you know, they made
01:07:54.340 a nice gesture to say thank you for saving these children, and so I appreciate you bringing
01:07:59.600 that, I don't, I don't, you know, talk about that kind of stuff, but, but, um, I, I think
01:08:05.660 my life, I define who I am, Glenn, you know, my wife and I, actually, my wife and I have
01:08:12.700 been together since I was, since 1972, okay, since we were 13 years old, been married for
01:08:18.320 over 40 years now, yeah, so, you know, everything in my life is about loyalty to something and
01:08:24.660 someone, and now, and it, and it grew in time to being loyal to this country as I understood it
01:08:30.300 more, especially as I joined the military.
01:08:32.520 So I, I just, you know, appreciate you bringing that up, um, you know, I tell people now, don't
01:08:38.780 let anybody else define you.
01:08:40.460 If you look at yourself in the mirror and you're not the same person walking away from it, then
01:08:44.200 you've got a problem.
01:08:45.780 Uh, I define who I am, I don't really give a shit about the military, about the media and
01:08:50.120 what they, what, how they, you know, how they define me, I really don't.
01:08:53.560 My mom was one of these, this extraordinary woman, you know, thank God she had nine children.
01:08:59.040 Um, my mom used to say, you know, the old sticks and stones will break my bones, but
01:09:02.580 names will never hurt me.
01:09:03.580 So, you know, get back out and play in the street kind of thing, you know?
01:09:06.860 And, um, that's, that's what I believe.
01:09:10.600 And I, that's who I am and that's who I will be.
01:09:14.100 And, you know, they can say what they want, uh, media can say what they want.
01:09:18.060 Actually, the more they attack me, I actually, in some funny way, I guess I say, you know,
01:09:22.720 be, be my guest because the American people keep coming to me and I so deeply appreciate
01:09:28.720 the American people who came to the rescue of my family and I, both morally and financially,
01:09:35.000 uh, to help us get through these last, uh, number of years of just pure political persecution.
01:09:42.400 God bless you.
01:09:42.880 Thank you, General.
01:09:43.780 Thanks, Glenn.
01:09:44.500 And appreciate your audience.
01:09:45.600 God bless your audience and God bless all that you do for this country.
