Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. The bloody war in Ukraine goes on. Vladimir Putin is hell-bent on the
00:00:07.440 devastation of Ukrainian cities and indifference to just how many Ukrainians he kills. Vladimir
00:00:14.640 Zelensky seems now undecided as to what course to follow because each day brings more destruction
00:00:21.920 and death to his country, his people. And any kind of peace agreement seems distant, remote,
00:00:30.500 and perhaps impossible. And Western intelligence analysts say Putin himself is caught between a
00:00:37.260 dramatically higher death count of Russian troops that is rising daily while there are reports of
00:00:43.400 dismay and unrest among the Russian people at home. A few military experts actually now claim that the
00:00:50.840 Russians are unlikely to win their war against Ukraine. President Biden's phone call with China's
00:00:58.160 Xi Jinping was unsuccessful. Senior officials say the Chinese president, in fact, told Biden
00:01:04.860 to clean up his own mess. And there was no assurance forthcoming that China won't send military aid to
00:01:12.480 Russia. Mr. Biden apparently warned Xi of serious consequences if he does. Welcome to the Great
00:01:20.360 America Show and thanks for being with us. This week, we also learned that President Donald Trump's
00:01:26.880 Attorney General now admits he knew that Joe Biden was lying to the American people about his son
00:01:34.520 Hunter's laptop during the 2020 presidential debate. Barr told Fox News that though he was very disturbed,
00:01:43.340 as he put it, by those lies, he obviously wasn't disturbed enough to tell the American people before the
00:01:49.780 election that the Democratic presidential candidate was a liar and very likely part of the biggest
00:01:56.940 political scandal in American history. With us now, a man who was caught up in that scandal, a victim of
00:02:04.380 the attempted overthrow of the presidency of Donald Trump, a former director of the Defense Intelligence
00:02:10.460 Agency, Army Lieutenant General Retired, and former National Security Advisor under President Donald Trump.
00:02:17.980 With us, General Michael Flynn. General Flynn, it's great to have you with us. Let's start with Ukraine
00:02:24.440 and the mess that NATO in particular is in, and the inability of Zelensky to get a discussion face-to-face
00:02:36.040 with Putin. Your thoughts?
00:02:39.260 Yeah, first of all, I don't think that Putin has any time for Zelensky, because I think he sees Zelensky as
00:02:46.180 not only a puppet-type leader in the Ukraine, but also somebody who has admitted to things that over the last few years,
00:03:02.580 admitted to things that we now know to be true. I mean, these various relationships with people in our,
00:03:09.800 that are relatives of our, members of our administration, also some of the, I think,
00:03:16.120 the nefarious activities that Ukraine has been involved in, from human trafficking, drug trafficking,
00:03:21.800 money laundering. I mean, there's an awful lot, and I think that there has to be a reckoning
00:03:27.720 by the leadership in the European Union, by the leadership of NATO, which are not both,
00:03:33.900 they're not the same. They're not one and the same, and people need to understand that.
00:03:37.000 The European Union and NATO are two different organizations. One is essentially a governmental
00:03:42.660 organization for trade and economics, and one is a security organization, and that would be NATO.
00:03:48.940 So I think that, if anything, what the West should demand from Zelensky is that he sits down across the
00:04:01.580 table from Putin as two leaders who are engaged in essentially a limited war, as I would describe it
00:04:11.640 right now, for now, they need to sit down with each other and come to an agreement on how to end this
00:04:19.220 thing and end it soon. I mean, I've, you know, written about this, Lou, recently, and one of the big
00:04:26.620 issues on the table is neutrality, the neutrality of Ukraine from really what has been an encroachment
00:04:36.380 by NATO since at least 1990, if not since 1994. And one of the big issues, Lou, is what's called the
00:04:46.400 Budapest Accords, which was in 1994, which was an agreement between France, England, United States
00:04:54.620 and Russia at the time for no further encroachment against the, you know, the Russian Federation. So
00:05:00.360 there's a lot of, you know, a lot of issues at play there. But those are the kinds of things that
00:05:07.380 have to be discussed. If they're not, we're going to continue to see bloodshed in Ukraine and the people
00:05:12.040 of the Ukraine are going to continue to suffer. 10 million of them, according to the most recent
00:05:17.680 estimate from the United Nations, have fled the country and are now refugees. A fourth of a country's
00:05:24.980 population is a human, just a tremendous number for refugees. Let's go to the point that you were
00:05:33.080 making about some of the questions that surround Zelensky and Ukraine, its relationship to the West,
00:05:41.220 in a number of areas. When you say that President Putin has no time for Zelensky and because Zelensky is
00:05:53.040 a puppet, who's pulling the strings? Well, I think that Zelensky is part of this effort, you know,
00:05:59.880 with this whole reset that we're, that we hear talked about by, you know, the organization
00:06:06.360 described as the World Economic Forum. And when we, when we think about, you know, how did Zelensky get
00:06:14.380 into power? What, what kinds of things has he done while he's been in office? What have been the, you know,
00:06:20.840 who have, who is behind really the, the, the kinds of activities? And this is really not a lick on the
00:06:27.860 Ukrainian people because the Ukrainian people are terrific people. I mean, I, you know, I've, I've, I've, I know some,
00:06:33.360 I've met some, I've, you know, we, we have had, I've been in conversations with many when I was in my
00:06:38.020 military days where we had people across tables and having discussions and all that kind of stuff
00:06:42.740 that you'd have. The people of Ukraine are terrific. It's the, the sad thing that you just mentioned,
00:06:47.680 25% of their population are, you know, would be considered, you know, being displaced or refugees.
00:06:53.360 I mean, so really the, the, you know, the, the, the masters right now, and, and when we think about
00:06:58.880 Joe Biden and what Joe Biden did prior as a vice president under the Obama administration,
00:07:03.940 and some of the things that they were involved in, some of the things that we know that, that others
00:07:08.420 around his son, and then those that are part of that entire structure, that, that sort of quote
00:07:15.600 unquote energy company, right? I mean, there's a lot of things here that, that we just don't know,
00:07:20.380 and we don't totally understand or nor appreciate. And these are the kinds of issues that have to be
00:07:26.660 resolved. I mean, when, when, yeah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, go ahead, General. No, I was just going
00:07:32.140 to say that. I mean, there's, there's such a lack of trust in anything, any of the reporting that are,
00:07:38.980 that's coming out of the mainstream media, Lou, which, which, you know, you know, quite a bit about,
00:07:44.680 and they, and also I, I try to follow, I try to follow other media outlets. Like I try to follow
00:07:51.300 what the Indians are saying, okay, that the nation of India, I try to follow some of these other,
00:07:56.660 European outlets to get a sense of what are they saying and, and balance everything.
00:08:01.760 When you have, when you have China and India, okay, which represents about a third of the world's
00:08:08.840 population that are aligning themselves or, or staying out of this issue in Ukraine. And in a,
00:08:16.240 in a funny way, on behalf of China or on behalf of Russia, we've got a, we've got a significant
00:08:21.960 problem. And, and it seems to me like, like the nation of India, and I particularly pay attention
00:08:27.380 to India, because India, India's Navy, a lot of people don't know India's Navy was principally built
00:08:33.900 by, by the, you know, by the Russian Federation, they're particularly their ships. So, so there,
00:08:40.120 there's two nations, China and India, which represent about 3 billion people, right? There's all this,
00:08:46.440 let's just say there's seven, maybe 8 billion people on the planet. I mean, these countries are
00:08:50.960 not jumping on the bandwagon of the West and calling Putin out. I mean, what they're saying
00:08:56.180 is they're, you know, they're, they are telling us that there's legitimate issues in play. And so
00:09:01.540 let's resolve these issues that are in play. And, and then, and I think that they're, they can be
00:09:06.100 resolved very, very quickly, very quickly. And I'm not saying that the, that Ukraine cannot deal
00:09:12.400 with the European Union, you know, in terms of economic development and trade, they may not want
00:09:18.120 to, because I can tell you that, that the European Union, and for the most part, and then definitely
00:09:23.700 NATO, I know NATO even better, but their, their criteria and the conditions that they have to join
00:09:29.000 those organizations are very, very high. They're stringent. And there can be no corruption. There can
00:09:34.360 be no, no, you know, funny business inside of their governments, right? No, no dealing in, in sort of
00:09:40.700 extra, extra, extra, uh, uh, types of activities that are outside of what a normal government would
00:09:47.040 do. A cynic would say general, that if they're going to be corrupt, they have to be very sophisticated
00:09:52.300 about it. Exactly. And the Ukrainians are not, uh, they are absolutely, uh, permeated with corruption.
00:10:01.120 Uh, but on the other hand, so is the United States now political corruption throughout our
00:10:05.920 government, our federal government. Uh, and that plays a part too here. One of the issues that we
00:10:12.500 have to examine on our national media, our corporate media will not deal with it because
00:10:18.340 the corporatists have so much money involved and a different interest. Uh, they are focused on global,
00:10:25.220 uh, a, a globalist future, uh, instead of specifically, uh, worrying about the nation,
00:10:33.660 the national interest and the national direction. And by that, I mean, what is the relationship
00:10:39.840 suddenly between Biden and Ukraine, uh, Biden, uh, and I'm talking about the Biden family, as well
00:10:46.860 as the president and China, China actually put out a readout of that phone call last week, uh, with
00:10:55.500 Xi before the United States government. There is a communist totalitarian government putting out at
00:11:02.800 least its interpretation as well as the readout of the discussion before the Biden white house could
00:11:08.880 do it. Uh, this is wrong and it is wrong for this president to simply go into the NATO meeting in
00:11:18.100 Brussels and without any explanation about his vested interest and his son's vested interest in Ukraine,
00:11:25.580 uh, and in China, uh, because now you have two strategic partners, China and, uh, and Russia, and you make a
00:11:33.440 terrific point with India, a third of the world's population, uh, and they're aligned. India desperately needs
00:11:42.260 the weaponry, the, uh, advanced and sophisticated, uh, technology of Russia. It needs that, uh, a coexistence
00:11:49.580 with China certainly. So those interests align, uh, uh, against a block NATO, the purpose of which was
00:11:57.480 to keep, to stop war in Europe. And here we are with a war raging. We're, we're calling, well, if the
00:12:05.500 crazy thing is, is that, uh, and this is, and I'm speaking for myself, but, but having been, been in these
00:12:11.800 various forums and, and work with these, you know, with many of these countries and, and work with these
00:12:16.660 organizations, we are in a place where NATO is acting in a very offensive way. NATO is supposed
00:12:22.120 to be a defensive, you know, if attacked, then, then, you know, one attack, then we're all attacked
00:12:27.160 and we will, we will defend our sovereignty. Right. But we're now acting in a very offensive way where,
00:12:32.820 where you have different countries in NATO that are providing weapon systems and arms and ammunitions
00:12:37.920 and, and, you know, and propaganda and cyber and all these kinds of things that these, these are very
00:12:42.600 offensive things. All this crazy talk about providing a no-fly zone. We have to give them
00:12:47.580 a no-fly zone. And we have, we have Republican senators calling for it in the United States.
00:12:51.860 40 of them. 40 of them.
00:12:53.140 These are, these are people that don't, they don't fully understand. They do not grasp. And I'm
00:12:58.240 telling you, they do not grasp what it, what it takes to stand up a no-fly zone, because in order
00:13:03.360 to stand up a no-fly zone, you have to have, you know, absolute control of the air. And that means that
00:13:09.700 you have to destroy anything that can range you from afar, right? Surface to air missiles is an
00:13:14.940 example. So to get into the weeds and the tactics, those surface to air missiles can sit in inside of
00:13:20.140 Russia and, and knock out aircraft that are flying in this quote unquote, no-fly zone. Right. So these
00:13:26.560 are not, these are not simple, you know, things and they're simple to say they are nearly impossible
00:13:32.540 to execute without, without making huge, huge errors, strategic errors. And so we're, we're in
00:13:39.720 this place right now where NATO is acting as a offensive, you know, they're talking about offensive
00:13:44.700 things. And so the interesting thing, and I think, I think all your listeners need to, need to really
00:13:49.520 pay attention to this. I understand now that Biden is going to go over and be part of a NATO leadership
00:13:55.520 meeting that they're going to have probably because the, you know, the, the, the previous representative
00:14:00.560 that we sent, you know, Kamala Harris didn't do such a hot job. She couldn't even, she couldn't even
00:14:05.420 read her notes about the, about what, what, what she was supposed to say about where, where Ukraine
00:14:11.620 geographically stands in, in Europe. I mean, my God. So Lord help us. Yeah. No kidding. I mean, this is,
00:14:17.700 this is, these are big things. Now the, the, the, the struggle in warfare, Lou, is that people make
00:14:23.140 mistakes and you know, and, and we, we see some of the rhetoric coming out of our own defense
00:14:28.400 department about bullets. Somebody uses chemicals that we're going to, there's going to be a
00:14:31.860 significant reaction to the use of, of chemicals, right? I mean, first of all, yeah, go ahead.
00:14:38.480 I've got to ask you, we're flying 90 sorties a day off the, off our carriers in the Mediterranean
00:14:50.360 over, over Eastern Europe, right up against, right up against the Ukrainian border. This is,
00:15:01.940 and these are missions are, you will well know the term, a deterrent activity, a deterrent sorties.
00:15:11.380 They are, I mean, we're just ratcheting up the possibility of an engagement with a Russian aircraft,
00:15:19.320 a jet fighter. A mistake, a mistake. And mistakes are made in war, Lou. And sometimes they're not,
00:15:26.180 they're unintentional. And I will tell you that, you know, my, my role when I was in the military,
00:15:32.900 from the time I was a young officer until the time I was a senior officer was to always put my
00:15:37.240 feet in the boots of our enemies. That was my responsibility to try to think like they would
00:15:42.580 think. And I can tell you at the strategic level, you know, Putin is making sure that, that his
00:15:47.480 leadership that are running the military operations are taking extraordinary precautions to not make
00:15:54.100 a mistake where, where they inadvertently shoot a missile into Poland or shoot a, you know, again,
00:16:00.260 attack a NATO member country. He is, I guarantee. So, so if there's been some, some, some military
00:16:07.260 tactical changes of leaders in the, in the Russian military, you know, there's, there's probably
00:16:13.300 because he wants to make sure that the people that are in charge on the ground are doing or,
00:16:18.200 are, are doing exactly what he wants them to do. And that is one is not to make a mistake and,
00:16:23.620 and inadvertently attack a NATO member country. What I am witnessing on the, on a, on a,
00:16:29.580 from a battlefield perspective is a very, very excruciatingly painful operation to make sure that
00:16:37.060 they only take what it is that they believe they need to take in order to control and in order to
00:16:43.760 make a statement to the Ukrainian people. And frankly, to the world that says, look,
00:16:48.040 we are not going to have a NATO member country, a, but the Russian boundaries where there are,
00:16:54.580 then there is the potential for nuclear weapons to be placed on the, on the, on the geography of
00:16:59.540 the, of that country, in this case, Ukraine. And it gets back to the, you know, so they,
00:17:04.100 it's a bit, a bit akin to the Cuban missile crisis where, you know, we said, we don't want to have
00:17:09.500 nuclear missiles in, in Cuba that can range the United States of America. Well, now we know we
00:17:15.200 have intercontinental ballistic missiles, right? So, so, but Putin is basically sending a message
00:17:19.920 saying, look, I'm okay with Ukrainian being neutral. And he has said that in his conditions.
00:17:26.080 And I actually think that Zelensky has now, you know, he's, he has now said that, but now what we
00:17:32.020 have to do is we have to stop the fighting and we have to make sure that we are absolutely clear on
00:17:36.700 that. And so the discussion in NATO, the very interesting thing that's going to come up here
00:17:40.900 with, with Biden, if he's makes it, if he makes it across the Atlantic and get, is able to sit down
00:17:47.160 with the, with the, with the NATO leadership, that they have to be very clear as to what they,
00:17:52.920 NATO wants to achieve with this. And it should be a defensive effort. It should not be an offensive
00:18:00.340 effort because if it's an offensive effort, that means that we're going to war, Lou, and we're
00:18:04.500 going to have world war three. That's insane. And I'm going to tell you, there are people,
00:18:09.180 there are people that are going to surround this issue and particularly surround our own leaders
00:18:12.940 that are going to be pushing and pushing and pushing. Like you see coming out of these
00:18:16.840 defense think tanks in Washington, DC, and, and many of these, these Republican senators as well.
00:18:22.520 The Republican party has chosen to endorse an idea that would be considered as he has already told
00:18:32.020 the world an act of war. When you have 40 Republican senators that are that ginned up to send our forces
00:18:41.360 because that would be the result of it is we all know to put our forces in harm's way without ever a
00:18:49.280 discussion or a, even a suggestion of what is the national interest. Uh, and furthermore,
00:18:55.900 we don't know what the precise relationship is between Biden, uh, and China that read out from
00:19:03.280 the Chinese made it very clear that the president doesn't want, uh, will not support Taiwanese independence.
00:19:10.640 It's an invitation to disaster. They have permitted the, uh, communist Chinese to militarize
00:19:18.320 the, uh, the, uh, islands that they, the artificial islands that they created and the South China sea
00:19:24.900 without, without any response whatsoever. It is a terrible moment in time. And we have a president
00:19:32.800 who we know based on his son's laptop and its contents and the coverup that ensued from the
00:19:41.600 discovery of that laptop, almost two years, the FBI sat on it and no one knows better than you,
00:19:46.620 the corruption of the FBI. Yeah. This is a terrible time. I can't, we have campaigns of disinformation
00:19:54.200 swirling through this country. And first and foremost, it's emanating from the Biden white house.
00:20:01.440 Yeah. I think a couple of things. So could, because you brought in another very, very important
00:20:06.380 geopolitical and geo strategic issue and that's Taiwan and, and where China stands and what China may or may
00:20:12.820 not do. One of the things that, that one of the sort of big outcomes of the conversation between
00:20:17.260 China and the United States was that essentially Xi told Biden, clean your own house up, you know,
00:20:23.160 clean your own corruption up before you start to talk about what, you know, Ukraine needs to do or
00:20:28.720 what Russia needs to do or what we need to do as China. I mean, this is, this is a slap in the face
00:20:34.000 to the United States of America. And it's because we have an administration that is filled with,
00:20:40.680 with, you know, I mean, serious corruption. We, you know, look at what we just learned about,
00:20:44.400 about a hundred Biden's laptop just in the last few days. And then the, you know, the, the,
00:20:48.400 the quote unquote 50 plus Intel officers two weeks prior to the 2020 election, who said this was a,
00:20:55.080 this was Russian disinformation campaign, clearly Russian. And they all signed a letter off
00:20:59.960 to that fact. Now we know it wasn't, now we know it was, it's, it's, it's clearly for real. And it's,
00:21:06.260 it's egregious, it's egregious fraud and crime against the American people and against our own
00:21:12.000 government. So, you know, those are the kinds of issues that the Chinese and the Russians,
00:21:16.760 they're already aware of this. They don't, they do their own intelligence work and they know
00:21:20.860 inside of our government, you know, how bad things are. And that's essentially what Xi is telling
00:21:26.180 Biden, you know, mind your own business and clean your own house up before you start
00:21:29.840 telling us what to do over here. But you bring up Taiwan, you bring up the South China Sea,
00:21:35.460 these, these islands that they've created. And China is posturing itself to basically be
00:21:42.140 in the, in the coming days, in the coming months, in the coming years to be the world superpower,
00:21:48.680 right. To be the big dog on the Hill. And that's really at the end of the day, the more money that
00:21:54.140 we waste, the more billions and billions of dollars that we give to these, to these countries,
00:22:00.240 particularly like Ukraine, to what end, for what reason, for what purpose? I mean, to, to,
00:22:06.660 to mire ourselves down in another unending war, that the results of which God help us with the
00:22:13.800 leadership that we have in, in Washington, DC right now. And, and trust me to you, for your listeners,
00:22:18.720 the one thing that you can trust is there's neocons, meaning warmongers on both sides of the aisle,
00:22:23.880 on the, on the left and the right. And, and these, these various organizations that swirl around in
00:22:29.780 the Washington, DC swamp, they call for war because they benefit from it. Okay. They, they don't care
00:22:36.180 the results of the war. They just benefit from it. Their pockets get, get fatter and fatter, you know,
00:22:41.480 off of the likes of, of, of war, wherever war exists, whether it's flying missions along the
00:22:48.240 borders overseas, or whether it's putting ships at sea, you know, it's, it, the more stuff that we
00:22:53.720 can do. And there, like I said, there's, there's warmongers on both sides because it benefits both
00:22:58.780 sides. And it's just a, it's just never ending participation in, in conflict that we can no longer
00:23:06.040 afford. Our country can no longer afford it. We have our own damn invasion going on, on our Southern
00:23:10.760 border. For the last year, we've had almost upwards of 3 million people invade our own border in the,
00:23:17.960 along our Southern border from 151 countries. There's only, I think there's only 184 countries
00:23:23.200 on the planet, if I'm, if I'm not mistaken, or roughly that number. And those are documented numbers,
00:23:28.340 Lou, from our own government. Our own government has said it's close to 3 million in the last year
00:23:33.220 from 151 countries. And these people are not, these are not, you know, kind, gentle souls, right?
00:23:39.860 These are many of these countries that are people are, that are, they're coming from,
00:23:44.200 those are criminals. You know, general, I have to, I have to smile a bit when you said our own
00:23:50.400 government. I've got to be honest with you, general. Our government saying something right
00:23:55.300 now doesn't hold nearly the water it once did. I can't think of anyone's who's lied any more than
00:24:03.260 the FBI. I can't think of anyone, uh, that is, uh, any agency that's more corrupt than the Justice
00:24:10.860 Department. I can't think of, uh, anything that this White House does. I trust, I literally trust
00:24:16.900 nothing. And, uh, it's, uh,
00:24:20.420 It's sad. Well, it's a sad, it's a sad state of affairs, Lou, for, for what it is that we are
00:24:26.700 facing. I mean, when we are, so we, we know that the whole COVID madness was one big lie. And I'm
00:24:34.160 not saying that COVID doesn't exist at a, at a flu like, you know, a capability or, or disease was
00:24:40.260 out there clearly was, but how we responded to it and how the government lied to us about all the
00:24:46.260 various things. So that was a big, that was a big issue that lasted for two years. It shut down
00:24:50.820 a third of our economy and, you know, businesses, particularly small businesses that will never
00:24:56.640 return to their livelihoods that they once had. People are still reeling from that. The government
00:25:01.900 is still, you know, the, the one thing Lou that they can't lie to us about, right? So the department
00:25:06.700 of injustice, I call it, and the, and the FBI who had that, who had the laptop for, for well over
00:25:12.600 two years, you know, the, the, the, the lack of clarity coming out of Europe from the mainstream
00:25:18.700 media, the shutting, the censorship, the cancel culture that we have in social media. I mean,
00:25:23.660 the one thing that this government can't lie to, to the American people about is the price of a gallon
00:25:28.520 of gas, right? Your people are going to go to work today. They're going to leave work or, you know,
00:25:33.560 whether they're, whether they're carpenters, whether they're plumbers, whether they're builders,
00:25:37.460 whether they're, you know, office workers, they're going to have to drive to some, to at some length
00:25:43.560 to get to the office, to get to wherever their place of work is. And they're going to have to pay
00:25:48.240 for a gallon of gas. Well, guess what government, you can't lie about that because it's, it's, it's
00:25:53.300 now, it's now three, four, five times as much as it was when, when Donald, when Donald Trump left
00:26:00.600 office. I told somebody yesterday, when I, when I got to where I'm at right now, I was paying a buck
00:26:06.160 65 for a gallon of gas. I just filled up my car on, uh, on a Saturday and it cost me almost $5 a
00:26:14.640 gallon, but general, you can't lie to the American people about that. That's, and I'm going to tell
00:26:19.380 you the American people, they are, they are not going to stand for this nonsense, especially now
00:26:24.120 that they're trying to get us into another war overseas. Give me a break. Sorry, go ahead.
00:26:28.580 I'm just going to say to you, we've got to update that because they figured out a way to lie about
00:26:33.460 gasoline. President Biden said that it's a result of, uh, the oil companies, gouging, uh, consumers.
00:26:41.820 Now there's no evidence of that whatsoever. And it's a direct correlation to the run-up in prices
00:26:48.560 and crude oil markets, which is always a reliable, uh, uh, meter for that, a metric. Uh, so I, I mean,
00:26:56.000 they've, you know, once again, we, we underestimate Biden.
00:26:59.640 The first shot across the bow, when this administration came into office on the 20th
00:27:06.460 or 21st of January, it was the first shot. And it was, uh, it was not just shutting down
00:27:11.620 the Keystone pipeline because that, but that was, this was one of the first acts that they
00:27:15.020 performed. It was a message. It was a message to the, the energy sector, right? The fossil fuel energy
00:27:21.840 sector of the United States of America, that your days are numbered. We're going to go to this
00:27:26.120 green climate, you know, nonsense, really. I mean, when you think about it, I mean,
00:27:31.720 the cost of everything is skyrocketing. So you're going to tell me that, you know,
00:27:36.280 oh, this, everything's going to be okay. No. So all this started well, well before, you know,
00:27:40.980 the, you can't blame the energy sector when you're, when your message to the energy sector is
00:27:45.380 we don't, we don't like you. We don't need you anymore. And we're going to shut you down. Well,
00:27:49.720 guess what? The, the, it's not just the energy sector and the big companies. It's a lot of
00:27:54.720 little people, right? It's a lot of the, the, the, the, the American people out there,
00:27:59.260 the middle income, the lower middle income. It affects 60% of the economy. Exactly. Exactly,
00:28:05.600 Lou. I mean, exactly. It's everything. It's everything. It's not just 50,000 jobs that were
00:28:10.740 related to the Keystone pipeline. It's all the other ancillary types of, of things that happen.
00:28:16.400 The second, third order effects of, of employment opportunities and growth that you can build around
00:28:22.220 these kinds of issues around these kinds of big industries that we do have in this country that
00:28:28.420 we are now crushing. And, and, and so, you know, don't blame it on others. Look at yourself first.
00:28:35.280 And I think that what we've got to do is we've got to, the people of this country, like I said,
00:28:40.380 you cannot hide, you can hide from, you can say, well, this is under investigation. That's under
00:28:45.240 investigation. All these things, the media can lie to us. But the one thing that you can't lie
00:28:50.780 about is you can't lie about the price of a, of a gallon of milk or the price of a gallon of gas.
00:28:55.780 And that's where it affects the pockets and the pocket books of many, many Americans who are now
00:29:01.960 looking at our government going, are you kidding me? I can't, I can't afford to live anymore. I'm,
00:29:07.420 I'm going broke, but maybe a little, maybe, maybe this is intentional. Maybe this is what these people
00:29:12.220 in Washington, DC want to do. Maybe they want to drive us towards socialism. And like my,
00:29:17.860 you know, my, yeah, another person that we know, uh, Mark Levin, who talks about American Marxism,
00:29:24.040 right? Is that, I mean, maybe that's what, this is what they, maybe this is intentional. And I,
00:29:28.840 and I think that to a degree, because nobody can be this stupid or this incompetent, Lou,
00:29:34.200 nobody. I mean, when we, when I think about how we exited Afghanistan, when I think about
00:29:38.660 some of the conversations I'm hearing about Ukraine, I mean, people are not that stupid.
00:29:43.840 They're not that incompetent. And so you have to start to say to yourself, are they, are they
00:29:48.280 intentionally driving us to war in Europe? Are they intentionally driving our economy into the,
00:29:53.720 into the shamble, into a shambles here? So they can basically say like, like what's been said in by
00:30:00.680 other, by other of these world globalists that, you know, you're going to own nothing and you're
00:30:05.860 going to be happy. Right. That's a, that's a paraphrasing slightly, but they're trying them close.
00:30:11.400 Yeah. There's no maybe in it, in my opinion, General, this is straight out. It's, it's not
00:30:17.500 American Marxism because there's nothing American about Marxism. Right. Exactly. And with all
00:30:23.320 respect to Mark Levin, this is an absolute campaign, coordinated, orchestrated effort to
00:30:34.860 destroy America and everything it stands for. And, uh, that alignment is, uh, centered on the
00:30:41.440 democratic party. I want to ask you as we are getting close to, uh, to the conclusion here,
00:30:47.300 reminding us this week, uh, the New York times, uh, and, uh, the New York post famously that letter
00:30:57.760 from 50 veterans of the intelligence community signed by five heads of, uh, the CIA. Uh, and I've
00:31:07.880 just got to ask you, how could any, how is there any appetite whatsoever to forgive those people,
00:31:15.260 to excuse it, to have them on MSNBC, NBC on CNN, uh, and be in positions of influence and power.
00:31:27.460 And people not understand this is bringing the intelligence service right into your television
00:31:34.940 networks and deciding that you'll get your disinformation directly from a former head of
00:31:42.020 the CIA that was complicit in the coverup of the laptop and may have indeed, uh, affected a rigged
00:31:50.940 election and created an illegitimate president. Yeah. So a couple of things. So the people that
00:31:56.900 we're talking about, we're talking about someone who was the head of the national intelligence system
00:32:01.720 for our country. We're talking about, uh, former directors of the central intelligence agency,
00:32:06.880 former directors of the national security agency, which is our, which is our big signals intelligence
00:32:11.740 collection, right? They listen to everything. We're talking about people who were former secretaries
00:32:16.020 of defense, people who were formerly very, very senior, uh, you know, assistance to presidents of
00:32:21.980 the United States of America and particularly under the Obama administration. I mean, we're talking about
00:32:26.480 some very serious people as well as others who worked inside the Pentagon, who worked inside the,
00:32:32.120 the central intelligence agency and worked inside of other, uh, intelligence, uh, aspects of our
00:32:38.260 intelligence community. So these are not a bunch of wallflowers who wouldn't really know. These are
00:32:43.160 people who, who would know. So two weeks prior to the 2020 election of, of, uh, Donald Trump, you know,
00:32:49.500 they're out there saying that this whole thing about Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation.
00:32:53.880 Well, we've always known it was not Russian disinformation. We've always known it because,
00:32:58.220 because it's such, it's so egregious. And even a year prior to that, Lou, we now know that the FBI
00:33:04.220 had the laptop at least a year prior to that. So they, they knew all this information. And now it's
00:33:10.180 suddenly coming out now that, that there's an, they are admitting that, well, it's not really Russian
00:33:16.080 disinformation. It's actually, it's for real that this is, this was Hunter's laptop and yeah, he did a bunch
00:33:21.660 of egregious things and, and, uh, it's captured. It's all captured. So why now the question is why all of a
00:33:27.640 sudden is it coming out now? Is this another distraction to take, you know, to cause the
00:33:32.640 American people to have conversations like we're having right now to distract from some of these
00:33:36.780 other bigger issues that are in play? Because this administration that we are dealing with right
00:33:40.960 now is completely falling apart. There's no building back better going on in the United States
00:33:45.320 of America. It's basically crushing the, the economic system and it's crushing the confidence of
00:33:51.920 the American people in any of the institutions that we have in our government, particularly the rule of
00:33:56.080 law institutions and particularly the intelligence community as an institution. And so I, I think
00:34:02.960 what, in fact, what I would tell you is that the American people, American people want to see
00:34:07.900 accountability. We demand accountability, Lou, we demand it, and it's going to come one way or the
00:34:13.980 other. And, and, uh, then, and God help us, uh, if they don't do something about this, about these,
00:34:20.080 these intelligence community people that are going on the MS, you know, mainstream media and talking
00:34:24.580 about, and, and still clapper the other day, still talking about it being Russian, Russian
00:34:29.160 disinformation. I mean, that guy is clueless. He's clueless. And I know him, he is clueless.
00:34:34.460 So we can't have our intelligence community out there, you know, in these, and, and basically if
00:34:41.800 they don't know something, then don't say it, but don't, don't try to, what they did, Lou, was they
00:34:46.340 influenced and they disenfranchised a large segment of the population of the United States
00:34:51.400 two weeks prior to a national presidential election. And they disenfranchised the country
00:34:57.560 by coming out there and lying. And they all know that they lie.
00:35:01.620 And guess what? We celebrated by putting them in, uh, television shows and television networks
00:35:07.440 and giving them positions of influence. Uh, there was a time that, uh, the heads of the CIA and
00:35:14.160 intelligence agencies, uh, would take on a job, uh, that was far less, uh, there, well,
00:35:21.480 there was a time when they were pro-American Lou, they were, there was a time decades ago where,
00:35:26.320 where these heads were pro-America. What, what, what they are right now is they're, they're pro-leftist
00:35:32.180 and what does leftist means? It means driving this country into the ground and turning it into a
00:35:37.080 socialist nation. And these people that are, that are on the left side that are in the, you know,
00:35:41.580 the, the old, you know, there, there's no, there's no democratic party anymore. It's now
00:35:46.140 this socialist party of America that these people are driving us toward. And this is very real. It's
00:35:51.520 very real. And these Republicans that are, that are mamby pamby Republicans that are serving right
00:35:57.140 now, they need to stand up, step up and speak up about what is happening to our country. And what I,
00:36:03.040 and all I'm hearing out of them is that they want to take us to war. This is, this is crazy talk.
00:36:07.340 We cannot have this Lou. That's why Mitt Romney is among those who signed that, uh, that letter,
00:36:13.900 uh, and started talking about a no-fly zone. Like it was a ride at universal park. Uh, these are
00:36:21.220 ignorant, idiotic, self self-aggrandizing pompous fools who are representing the establishment. They
00:36:29.720 suspended their intellects, whatever they had, uh, and, and their integrity. It is no longer acceptable for
00:36:37.040 the Republican party to cater to these rhinos. They are Republicans in name only. They have no
00:36:43.560 philosophy. They have no values that are even remotely fundamental American values. They could
00:36:50.020 give a damn about truth and, and justice in the American way. Uh, and we are delighted that you
00:36:56.300 have taken time to be with us today. I'm going to give you the last comment. Thank you. Last word.
00:37:01.480 We give that to you. Thank you. So, so this, I really appreciate it, Lou, and thank you for, uh,
00:37:07.020 for allowing me to speak to your great audience, uh, and, and everything that you have done for this
00:37:11.580 country. Uh, here's what I, here's a solution because people always ask me, what do I do?
00:37:16.360 You know what? Let's make the primaries in this country because there's a lot of America first
00:37:21.540 candidates running across this country. So let's make the turnout for voters in the primaries that are
00:37:26.800 already begun and met in some places around the country and they'll run into August. Find out when
00:37:32.080 your primaries are, find those America first candidates that love this country and are ready
00:37:36.620 to fight for this country. Find those primary candidates and get out and vote for them. Don't
00:37:41.680 allow the establishment to continue to reign, you know, this, this horrific, uh, political environment
00:37:47.980 that we have. Let's get rid of these bums. Let's, let's vote them out. So go and make the primary
00:37:53.480 turnout, get out and vote in the primaries, get involved in your communities. Local action
00:37:57.780 will have a national impact. If you get involved at your local level in your, in your towns,
00:38:03.400 your parishes, in your counties, that's where it matters right now. That's why our founders gave us,
00:38:08.240 you know, the, the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But only if you participate
00:38:12.860 in this, in this form of, of Republic government that we have. And that's my message to folks is get
00:38:19.140 out and get involved and let's make the, let's turn, let's make the turnout in the primaries
00:38:23.460 as big as we can make it. So God bless you, Lou, for let me have a few minutes with your audience.
00:38:28.560 Well, general, God bless you. We appreciate it. And, uh, we thank you for everything you have done
00:38:34.600 for this country and continue to do. Uh, we look forward to talking to you again soon. Thanks for
00:38:41.280 being here. General Michael Flynn, ladies and gentlemen, a great American, uh, and what that man has
00:38:48.660 been through is, uh, a national, national disgrace. Uh, we're going to be taking all of this up and
00:38:55.620 more, uh, tomorrow right here on the great America show. I just want to say that at this point, never
00:39:02.660 in my career, never in my lifetime, have I seen greater, uh, corruption in this country. There has
00:39:10.880 never been a period like this in our country's history. And we have to understand that this
00:39:17.900 administration is, is not working for America. This president is not working for America.
00:39:25.980 Zelensky is a puppet in Ukraine and Biden is a puppet in America. And it is straight up
00:39:32.800 straightforwardly. So, uh, with that thought, let's, uh, think kindly of one another. Let's do our very
00:39:40.580 best to uphold the traditions and the values of this country. It's never been harder to know what to
00:39:46.240 believe or whom to believe that's in part because Russia and China and Iran and other countries are
00:39:53.060 running disinformation campaigns against America and Americans that are more powerful and constant
00:40:00.440 than ever before. And because our own government has lied to us throughout the past seven years,
00:40:06.560 as has the permanent bureaucracy, the deep state, and of course, the radical Dems who now control the
00:40:13.040 white house, the Senate and house of representatives. And yes, the courts, the American bar association.
00:40:19.780 And then there's the corporate media, our universities and colleges, the teachers unions, the left, the
00:40:27.260 left is control of our country and we'll be taking up the left and its power over America. And then weeks
00:40:34.800 ahead. I hope you'll be with us each day as we together stand for truth, justice, and the American way
00:40:41.620 tomorrow. Here on the great America show, we'll be examining the new reports of a more transmissible
00:40:48.360 variant of the Omicron virus and why the bad doctor, Dr. Fauci is back in public claiming we will likely
00:40:56.720 see a surge in cases in the United States. We'll have with us tomorrow. One of the good doctors,
00:41:03.620 our guests will be Dr. Robert Malone. Dr. Malone has been a dissenter from the leftist authoritarians,
00:41:10.000 and he has more importantly, perhaps been right and courageous. Please join us here tomorrow.
00:41:17.380 Till then, God bless you and God bless America.
