America s General Michael Flynn joins me to discuss his life, career, and life after the Russian Collusion Hoax. General Flynn served as the Director of Defense Intelligence Agency, the nation s highest serving military intelligence officer, and then went on to serve as President Donald Trump's National Security Advisor.
00:09:59.220I think, frankly, that John Durham took five long years basically to tell us what many good, solid, investigative journalists like Lee Smith had already determined.
00:10:11.760But he took five years to make sure the statute of limitations had run out.
00:10:15.680And then he indicts the guy at the very, very, very bottom of the totem pole, a guy named Sussman, a lawyer who was involved in promulgating the Steele dossier.
00:10:27.380This is like indicting the guy who was driving the getaway car in a bankruptcy robbery for double parking while you let the bank robbers get away.
00:10:39.700There is no statute of limitations on the crime of treason.
00:10:43.920At a minimum, John Brennan, who I think is really the chief perp here in this operation, is guilty of treason.
00:10:53.720And frankly, I think he should be charged and he should stay in trial.
00:10:57.560Let me move into this story because it's one that I think you sent me and I found fascinating.
00:11:04.240A top U.S. neuroscientist and military advisor, Mike Beck, has confirmed reports that are credible that say directed energy weapon attacks have happened on U.S. soil and have targeted U.S. personnel abroad.
00:11:21.660What can you tell us about these so-called microwave weapons?
00:11:26.220And do you believe that they haven't been used in this nation?
00:11:31.640Yeah, so it's a great investigative report done by Catherine Herridge, the indomitable Catherine Herridge.
00:11:39.020And she's done a really superb job of digging in and gathering the right facts.
00:11:43.720Now, directed energy weapons, I can tell you that off of surface ships, right, naval ships, other surface ships that are used at sea to deter, you know, like piracy.
00:12:00.340You know, we still have piracy that occurs off of different coastlines.
00:12:04.180Those types of weapons are used to deter those types of attacks against merchant vessels.
00:12:13.000In fact, we saw a lot of this type of use out in off of Somalia during the days when the piracy activities were upwards of, you know, they had seized almost, I think, 50 or 60 different merchant vessels.
00:12:27.460So the merchant marines started to use these directed energy type weapons off of those ships.
00:12:33.320Now, and this is back in like 2007, 2008 time frame, so quite a while ago.
00:12:39.700So now what we're talking about is we're talking about directed energy weapons being used from facilities, buildings and such.
00:12:47.240And like, you know, the most famous case is the one down in Cuba where a group of diplomats were, you know, felt affected.
00:12:55.620They were basically, you know, they were given like, you know, where they felt like they had gotten ill.
00:13:03.520And what we're learning is we're learning these directed energy weapons, which are very precise, laser, almost laser-like focus against the targeted population or the targeted array of people that they want to go after.
00:13:17.520And in this case, you know, what it's showing is it's showing a type of weapon system that, you know, nobody should be surprised that these things exist.
00:13:26.840But it is in the past, I think, people thought about these types of things, you know, only being seen in science fiction movies, when in fact these are very real.
00:13:36.640And they've actually been around for quite a while.
00:13:39.080They have become far more sophisticated because of the ability to be able to move essentially electrons like you would shoot a bullet out of a rifle.
00:13:49.220You're firing electrons in a very intense and very, very directed way, like the acronym stands for, directed energy weapon, you know, almost right directly at an individual.
00:14:05.740And I think what, from Catherine's great reporting, I think what we're going to find out is that this has been going on for a lot longer.
00:14:13.780And we're seeing it happening, you know, in and around a lot of embassies around the world, a lot of U.S. embassies around the world.
00:14:21.460I believe this is something that the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy are going to have to come to grips with, and they can't hide this anymore.
00:14:32.840What we're going to have to do is to really highlight this to, you know, the right people.
00:14:40.060We still have to protect the capabilities that we have, but I do believe that the American people are going to be demanding more answers on this, especially because of this report that just came out.

00:15:36.260The Fox commentator, Mark Levin, who also has a show on this very network, writes,
00:15:46.380We are looking terrorists in the eye who have threatened tens of millions of us with death as they are developing nuclear weapons and are within weeks of succeeding.
00:15:57.020Is there any generation of Americans before us that would not have dealt a deadly blow to such an enemy before they could destroy us?
00:16:07.240First, it's not as if this is the imagination of war mongers run amok.
00:16:12.020How insane are those who demand that we essentially ignore this threat or appease it in some fashion?
00:16:19.340Clearly, Mark Levin, who I like, is advocating strikes on Iran.
00:16:25.200I personally think that that would be an egregious mistake.
00:16:29.020How do you feel about a preemptive strike on Iran?
00:16:32.200Yeah, I think what we should be doing, and we have a great commander down there at U.S. Central Command who is responsible for the area of responsibility out there from a military perspective, you know, from a uniform military perspective.
00:16:46.820I think Pete Hegg, Seth, and the team that Donald J. Trump has in the White House is a smart group of people.
00:16:58.020I do not think that the United States of America should be engaging in any kind of direct military actions against Iran right now.
00:17:05.740What I do believe is we should have sufficient military capabilities in the theater, in the region there, whether it's from Diego Garcia or parts of the Middle East.
00:17:16.960I do believe that the Israelis, as a conduit, if you will, you know, they're already – you have to believe that they're already contemplating some of these actions.
00:17:31.420And what they should do or what they should feel is they should feel very much supported by the United States of America for the types of tools, capabilities, weapon systems that they will need if, in fact, they decide to do that.
00:17:46.500Now, I will tell you that over 10 years ago, Roger, over 10 years ago, and it was Barack Obama that said, you know, and I think John Kerry as well when he was Secretary of State, where they said, well, you know, Iran's not going to have a – they won't have a nuclear weapon for another 10 years.
00:18:05.220The ability to enrich uranium up to a certain percentage threshold, which they've already done.
00:18:10.800So we can't kid ourselves any longer and think that, you know, the alliance of Iran, which is allied with China, Pakistan, Russia, North Korea, those previous four nations that I just mentioned, all have nuclear capabilities, and then sit and believe that Iran does not have a nuclear capability.
00:18:32.200One of the things that Iran has is a very sophisticated missile system capability, very sophisticated.
00:18:38.840You know, and then all you have to do is build the uranium up enough for the warhead and then match a warhead to a – basically, you know, a rocket, right?
00:18:49.400And for them to do that, you know, is not something that – this is not a no-brainer for them.
00:18:54.480I mean, there is a no-brainer for them because they've been doing the missile technology for decades.
00:18:58.840So I think what we're going to see is we're going to see a buildup of U.S. military forces in support of a potential deterrence effect, meaning to try to stop Iran from doing what they're doing while President Trump, through his emissary Witkoff, is doing some negotiations, all while Israel is preparing to take some type of action.
00:19:23.620And now it will be on their time, on their schedule, so there's an element of surprise there.
00:19:28.960And I will tell you that if the Israelis decide to attack Tehran or decide to attack other targets in Iran, it is going to be unlike any other attack we've seen by the Israelis, you know, in Iran or like we've seen in the past where they attacked places in Syria and places in Iraq.
00:19:52.620So I don't think we should be involved in this other than the provision of support and capabilities because, you know, Israel is a great ally of ours.
00:20:03.500Iran is one of those places where I would prefer – I would prefer to, you know, to honestly, to foment some type of unrest.
00:20:11.580And I do think that the Iranians right now are on their heels.
00:20:16.180I really believe they're on their heels because their surrogates in the Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis have been devastated.
00:20:23.040You know, most recently the Houthis have been devastated by our own Department of Defense.
00:20:28.560So the Iranians are clearly on their backsides, and, you know, what we don't want to do is put them in a position where they, you know, have to spring out and start using some of their missile capabilities and potential nuclear capabilities in the region.
00:20:44.460So I do think that we're on a real edge here, and I do know right now that our capabilities in the region are at a level that we have not seen probably in the last – certainly in the last five years, maybe ten years,
00:20:57.620especially some of our larger air and naval force capabilities that are out there.
00:21:06.420I do not believe – and I don't think Trump wants to be involved in any kind of war there.
00:21:11.300I think he would definitely like to settle this thing diplomatically, and we should be able to do it.
00:21:16.440But I do think that at some point in time, the only way for Iran, Tehran, to survive with the – you know, in the sort of the global nation of nations is to have some type of regime change.
00:21:29.820You know, they've been living under a dictatorship for far too long.
00:21:34.080Up next is Keeping the Live and Alive with Debbie Nigro, sponsored by Native Path Collagen.
00:21:41.140But before that, we'll be back with General Michael Flynn.
00:21:44.840So whatever you do, don't touch that dial.
00:21:48.260The Stone Zone on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:21:54.660The Stone Zone on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:22:00.480And we're back with General Michael Flynn.
00:22:22.360You know, I'll tell you, I've thought a lot about that.
00:22:25.880You know, we are – it's a different physical environment.
00:22:30.060But we are in one of those periods where, similar to the beginning of the Civil War, the U.S. Civil War, where we were in a physical war between a very divided nation.
00:22:42.620And we are right now in a cognitive war as much as a spiritual war with a very divided nation.
00:22:50.440And I think that the – you know, at that time, at the beginning of the Civil War, you know, the numbers – you know, when you start to do comparative figure in and data analytics, you know, the North clearly had a larger footprint.
00:23:05.840And they were able to, of course, dominate the war at the end of the day.
00:23:09.700We are in a place now where I think that there is a larger percentage of people, more than we know, that are actually very patriotic people, love the country, and don't like what they see coming from this very progressive, you know, communist socialist left of our – that is part of our fabric of our country.
00:23:27.460And so what I want and what I believe is that we will dominate this because people's patriotism, people's desire for freedom will overcome this inertia that does come out of a couple of segments of society, mainly some of our – you know, clearly the media, you know, some of the political institution on the left, and some other institutions like academia, as an example.
00:23:52.200So I believe if we were going to do some type of comparative thing, you know, to me, the Civil War was a far more physical one.
00:24:01.100This one is more cognitive, intellectual, mental, emotional, and certainly spiritual.
00:24:07.160And I – you know, to finish this line of thinking, I do believe that we are going to have to return our country to a much, much stronger set of Judeo-Christian principles and values, Roger, and we must be fearless about those values.
