Subscribe on YouTubeLieutenant General Michael Flynn Reveals What Obama Did To Him And The Russian Conspiracy That Started It All
Lieutenant General Michael Flynn sits down to expose the conspiracy that began in the Obama White House. Flynn walks through the timeline of how he became patient zero in the Russian collusion hoax, from Obama's warning to Trump not to hire him, to the FBI entrapment, to the threats against his family. He explains why he was targeted, his views on Russia that threatened the establishment's war machine, and names John Brennan as the central architect of the scandal. Flynn also addresses current foreign policy challenges, including how to end the Ukraine war and navigate the Middle East crisis, while warning about the dangers of nuclear escalation.
The Warning Obama Gave Trump
When President Obama first met with President-elect Trump right after the 2016 presidential election, he had a very short conversation with him. President Obama at that time told President Trump that he should not hire Flynn. It was very odd. Trump and Flynn spoke about that after his meeting with Obama. It was just odd that the president of the United States in transitioning the entirety of the government would point out one person, in this case Flynn, to not hire. Of course, Trump then hired him as the National Security Advisor.
The timeline matters here. Looking at the dates now, there was the December 8, 2016 meeting. There was the January 5, 2017 meeting where there was collusion inside the Oval Office led by Barack Obama. The evidence is clear now. Flynn was able to jump forward and fast forward in his case.
The FBI Entrapment and Family Threats
FBI Director Jim Comey sent two agents to Flynn's office. They interviewed him, no problem. Flynn didn't have any issues with it. He had been working with the FBI for the better part of 15 years prior to that. He didn't lie to them then. They actually said that and wrote it down, which was found out in evidence later on. They then came after Flynn very hard when the Mueller investigation hit. This is where they brought his family in. They threatened him and they threatened his son, his youngest son, who was about to have a child, with all kinds of felony counts. They threatened to throw them in prison for years. That was all true and has all come out.
They went after Flynn because Obama said that to Trump. Why did Obama go after him so hard early on? There has not been a National Security Advisor to the United States of America with Flynn's background, not one, going back to Henry Kissinger, who Flynn met three times to do a kind of a handoff.
Why Flynn Had To Be Removed
Flynn was very cautious on Russia. They needed to take him out because they wanted to get to a kinetic war against Russia and he had a much more cautious, realistic and restrained approach to Russia. He was critical not only to manufacture the Russian narrative because they tried to gin up something because of some trip that he took or whatever, but to use him as a centerpiece. He was a stumbling block because he did not believe in the DC Empire's view that Russia was the greatest enemy. He was necessary for removal. If Flynn had sustained through the first Trump administration, we might never have had Russia Gate.
One of the things Flynn talked to Trump about during the 2016 campaign and going into the administration after he won was that he wanted, and still believes, that we must pull Russia out of the sphere of influence that China has. China is the wolf at the door. We have to pull Russia out and figure out ways to do that. We've never been at war with Russia. Russia supported America during World War II. Russia supported America in the Middle East. Most people don't realize that we were working with the Russian Navy and Russian military in places like Syria going against al-Qaeda and ISIS.
The History of American-Russian Relations
America had a great relationship with Russia after the end of the Cold War. Flynn actually worked and trained with Russian forces in different training exercises and scenarios in the 90s and into the early 2000s until 9/11. In fact, Flynn wrote something in the last four days about rules for diplomacy. There's 80% of the Russian people in Russia today, mostly young people, who want a more positive relationship with the United States of America because they feel aligned with us.
Back in the 2016-2017 time frame, the Obama administration did some terrible things. They expelled a bunch of Russians. They put sanctions on the Russians for no other reasons than to upset the incoming Trump administration. One of the actions that Flynn took among many when talking to foreign leaders, which he was authorized to do and fully by rights to do, was speaking with the Russians multiple times to let them know to let cool heads prevail. President Trump had a different view on foreign policy. He wanted to let them get into the office of the presidency so they could start a different tack going down the road when it came to Russia.
The Obama administration wasn't having anything of it. Frankly, the intelligence community and many on both sides of the political aisle like to have a boogeyman in the name of Russia because there are billions and billions of dollars that flow into the coffers as long as we have that boogeyman called Russia. The American taxpayers can't afford it anymore. We can't afford to have these wars going on. Even if we could afford it, we should not be at war against Russia. It is not in our geopolitical interest. The real enemy is all to the east. It's the Chinese Communist Party.
John Brennan: The Central Architect
We need to be very cautious and very careful going about possibly indicting Barack Obama himself. We should start with John Brennan. Brennan is the central nervous system. He was the offensive coordinator, calling the plays, the maestro of the orchestra. That is the lowest hanging fruit and he does not have presidential immunity.
Flynn agrees that Brennan is the linchpin here. There are people, in fact Flynn knows because partly Tulsi Gabbard has said it, but he's also aware that there are whistleblowers that have come forward with some very egregious information as it relates to Brennan. There are going to be other leaders that were in the rooms with Barack Obama, with Obama and Brennan, that are going to talk because they don't want to get into trouble here. There is a conspiracy and it is still an ongoing conspiracy.
All this talk about statutes of limitations can be left to the constitutional lawyers who have studied this thing and looked at the problems that Brennan is involved in. Brennan has a lot at risk right now in a big way. Flynn has a funny feeling that once you start to bring these people in, people like Jim Clapper, Clapper will spill the beans. Jim Clapper has already said publicly on a cable news network that they were ordered by Obama to do it. We now see the evidence. He said it and that's fine. But now we have the evidence coming out of the Director of National Intelligence's mouth and documented that shows that in fact these things happened. Tulsi Gabbard talked about these things happening.
The President's Authority to Hold People Accountable
The legalities of what these people are facing are severe and it has to happen. The president of the United States also needs to understand this. The president of the United States is the president of the United States. He is the commander-in-chief, but he's also the chief law enforcement officer of the country, not the attorney general. The attorney general is the attorney general. Frankly, you don't even need to be a lawyer to be the attorney general of the United States of America. Most people don't know that. But the chief law enforcement officer is the president who has extraordinary authority and power, executive power.
The president's going to have to weigh in from time to time to direct his justice system to follow the constitutional order of our country to go after and hold to account people like Brennan, people like Jim Comey. There are going to be others. Once they start that ball rolling and start holding these people accountable, the evidence is there. We don't need years-long investigations. The evidence is there and frankly for the courageousness of Tulsi Gabbard, she's exposing more and more. What these people know is they know that there's more to come. She is like a good lawyer, even though she's not one. She's holding cards that these people know exist. People like Brennan know exist. People like Comey know exist. She's holding these cards because they're going to use them in the courtroom, in the system that we call our constitutional order.
The Jim Clapper Evidence
Jim Clapper said on television that they were part of the group that were tasked by President Obama to put together all the reporting they had on the Russian interference. President Obama directly and personally confronted Putin about the Russian interference in September and did not accept at face value Putin's protestations. John Brennan directly did the same thing with his counterpart.
Clapper said in September, that's September of 2016. What's very important is on August 3, 2016, Brennan brought into President Obama at that time into the Oval Office the dossier and told Obama at that time that it was made up information from the Hillary Clinton campaign that they were going to use as their October surprise against Trump to win the presidency. Brennan and Obama on August 3, 2016 knew then that it was made up baloney from the Hillary Clinton campaign to attack Trump so she could be the president.
Here is Clapper saying in September, a month later, that the president directed him as Director of National Intelligence to gather all the evidence about what Russia was doing to interfere in our elections. Well, Obama already knew that this scheme was in play. That was August of 2016. Trump wins and there was a very famous text message that Flynn brought out in his case from Peter Strzok to his lover and number two lawyer at the FBI, Lisa Page. Peter Strzok was the deputy director of counter espionage for the FBI. In his text message to her: if Trump wins, we have an insurance policy. If he should win, we have an insurance policy.
The December and January Conspiracy Meetings
After Flynn got picked by Trump, after Obama said we can't have him, Flynn got picked by Trump to be the National Security Advisor. Now it's like, oh my god, this guy who ran one of the largest intelligence agencies in the world had a very different view and was very close to Trump on foreign policy ideas. On December 8, this is one of the bombshells that Tulsi discovered, on December 8 in the Oval Office after Trump beat Hillary, which they didn't expect, they then sat in that meeting and they conspired to start the engines of Russia, Russia, Russia going.
Fast forward one more month, January 5, 2017, they did it again. This time in that meeting, and this is hard evidence in the court of law, during that January 5 meeting, they said essentially, we need to get Flynn out in order to get Trump.
America First, Not America Alone
Trump really needs to remind people what our country is all about. That light on the hill. He's got to give hope to the American people. The way he gives us that hope is by telling the American people what the plan is, what's already been exposed to do things to reform the government, to reduce the size of the government. He's already talking about our economy and the things that we need to do. America first, but it does not mean America alone. He also must end this war in Ukraine. We can't keep pouring more money into it. He's got to end that war and he also needs to figure out a way to bring the Middle East back to the Abraham Accords, which was one of the fundamental big ticket marks on his previous administration.
Those are three big issues. The idea of hope matters to the American people, but it's hope with a purpose. That purpose means you're going to have to hold people accountable. The president is going to have to spend days of his time directly involved in where are we with holding these people accountable because the American people are not walking away from this.
How to End the Ukraine War
We should not be sending more weapons to Ukraine. Putin does not want a settlement to it, it seems. President Putin made a statement in the last 24-48 hours and it's very important and Trump should listen to it. In his speech he said these are our lines. Trump needs to call up Putin and he needs to say okay, where are you. Just talking about the two of them, not talking about with Zelensky because Zelensky is neutered. He's not effective.
Trump needs to call up Putin and say where is it in those red lines that you drew that you are willing to negotiate? Are you willing to negotiate an election in the four Donbasses, the four provinces that Putin mentioned in his speech? Are you willing to talk about geography, a place called Odessa and Crimea? We have to think about that also. East of the Ural Mountains are in Russia and east of the Urals matter. If Putin was listening and Trump was listening, they would know what that means.
We tend to think about Ukraine in isolation of just that piece of geography. Cuba matters, Venezuela matters, other parts of the world matter in these alliances and these structures that we have. The United States of America ought to be bringing in Cuba. What's the future relationship that we're going to have with the Cubans? What's our future relationship that we're going to have with the Venezuelans? There's more to negotiating than just that piece of turf that splits the Russian Federation and Ukraine right now. Frankly, personally, NATO has to be off the table because Putin and they're just not going to allow it. If you go back to the 1994 Budapest Accords where we committed to no expansion of NATO, Flynn wrote about this in an article that he published in the last 48 hours about his rules for diplomacy.
The Israel Question and the Abraham Accords
We are on team civilization. We want Israel to win. However, a lot of people are growing exhausted with the war. It does not help to have long wars, long conflict. It's not good for anybody involved. A lot of people in America are growing exhausted with this issue that is certainly being used to divide a lot of good people.
Wars of attrition never help either side because they come at a huge cost in lives and treasure. For the Israelis internally, the Israelis need to do some soul-searching. There's going to have to be some truth bombs that are going to have to come out of the Israeli leadership. They're going through their own machinations right now between Netanyahu and the leadership in the military because they're talking about the occupation of Gaza. Go ask any Marine that served in Beirut during the Beirut barracks bombing, which was back in 1983 when we lost hundreds of Marines. Occupation forces don't work.
There's got to be soul-searching there. But that soul-searching also has to occur in the White House. President Trump is going to have to talk to his own internal team to say, what is it that we can do? He's going to have to engage the leadership of the Arab world in a much bigger way than he's doing right now. Trump's got special envoy Steve Witkoff in the Middle East and Oman. He's got him up in Russia. We're spreading our forces too thin here. We have got to make a decision about Ukraine and the war has got to end. The funding of additional resources has got to end.
The Nuclear Threat
Nuclear warfare scares the crap out of Flynn, so it should scare your young audience. We have had discussions about nuclear capabilities more in the last year, year and a half than in almost four decades of service in uniform and to this country. Flynn has never heard this much talk about nuclear capabilities and nuclear standoffs. Once you cross that threshold, and here we are on the anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, those are devastating capabilities. Flynn wrote about that again in this article because you can't talk about a tactical nuclear weapon. It's poison. It's going to kill millions and millions of people and it's going to destroy the fabric of a large chunk of geography just from the tactical standpoint, never mind the strategic aspects of using a nuclear capability, which then escalates it even further, which is what we're continuing to see in the Middle East and in Europe.
Trump doesn't want any of that. President Trump, you campaigned on being the president of peace. That's what you want. What Flynn wants Trump to do is tell the American people what your plans are, what your objectives are to achieve that because we will stand with you as long as we understand what it is that you're trying to achieve. If Flynn were with the president sitting in the Oval Office, he would recommend that and would help craft some of that. We've got to tell the American people, we got to be totally transparent because what Tulsi Gabbard is dropping in terms of the subversion and espionage directed against the American people over the last 8-10 years is just extraordinary.
The Path Forward
These issues are going to have to be dealt with and these wars are going to have to be dealt with. It needs almost a state of the union like speech to the American people. Maybe it's an Oval Office speech by the president. Flynn wants this president to succeed in a big way where they start, give him the tools and he'll start chipping away on Mount Rushmore. That's how much he wants him to succeed. Trump can do it. He's got the mandate to do it. He's not a typical politician. He uses good common sense, but he's got to tell the American people the direction that he's heading and we'll go with him.
Video Transcript
Joining us now is Lieutenant General
Michael Flynn. Sir, great to see you.
Thank you so much for taking the time. I
want to take a step back before we get
into the details of Obamagate and Russia
Gate. I want you to remind everyone what
happened to you and what the FBI did to
you. We have a lot of younger listeners
in our audience that are not as familiar
or have memory of it. They didn't live
through it.
>> The FBI sent people to entrap you in the
guise of offering you help in the first
days of the administration. You were
patient zero, sir. Please walk us
through it and remind us.
>> Yeah. So, for your audience, Charlie,
when President Obama first met with
President-elect Trump right after the
2016 presidential election, he had a
very short conversation with him and
President Obama at that time told
President Trump that he should not hire
me. And it was very odd. And Trump and I
spoke about that after his meeting with
with Obama. It was just odd that why
would the president of the United States
in transitioning the entirety of the
government point out one person in this
case me to not hire. And of course you
know what what Trump did was he then
hired me as the national security
adviser. And we now know Charlie when
that so if you go back and you look at
the dates and the timeline now we know
about this 8 December 2016 meeting. We
we know about the five January 2017
meeting where there was collusion inside
the Oval Office led by Barack Obama. And
it's very clear now. The evidence is
really clear. I we were able to in my
case sort of jump forward to fast
forward. The the uh Jim Comey, the
director of the FBI, sent in two agents
to my office. They interviewed me, no
problem. And I didn't have any issues
with it. I'd been working with the FBI
for the better part of 15 years prior to
that. And I didn't lie to them then. And
they they actually said that they wrote
it down. We found that out in evidence
later on. Um they then came after me
very hard when the Mueller investigation
hit. They they when they came after me,
this is where they brought my family in,
right? And they threatened me and they
threatened my son, my youngest son, who
was who was about to have a child with
basically all kinds of felony counts and
and we're going to throw you in prison,
you know, for for years. that all so
that was all true. That's all come out.
And they went after me because, you
know, why why did Obama say that to
Trump? Why did Obama go after me so hard
early on? Because Charlie, there's no
there's been, you know, I'll I'll pat
myself on the back here. There's not
been a national security adviser to the
United States of America with my
background. Not one. I mean, going back
to Henry Kissinger, who I who I met
three or three times to do kind of a
handoff.
>> Well, let me interject. You were also
very uh cautious on Russia.
>> You see, they needed to take you they
needed to take you out because they
wanted to get to a kinetic war against
Russia and you had a much more cautious,
realistic and restrained approach to
Russia. So, you were critical not only
to manufacture the Russian narrative
because they tried to, you know, jin up
some thing because of some trip that you
took or whatever, but to use you as a
centerpiece. You were a you were a
stumbling block because you did not
believe into in the DC Empire's view
that Russia was our greatest enemy. You
were necessary for removal. I would
argue that if you sustained through the
first Trump administration
>> that we might never have got we might
never have had Russia gate. Please
continue.
>> Yeah. No, I I yeah I agree. You know,
one of the things that I tal I talked to
Trump about during the 2016 campaign and
certainly going into the administration
after he won was I wanted and I still
am. I still believe this. We must pull
Russia out of the of the influence the
the sphere of influence that China has,
right? China is really the sort of the
wolf at the at the door here. So, we
have to pull Russia and we and that's
what I was talking about then. We got to
figure out ways to pull them out. We've
never been to war. We never been at war
with Russia. Russia supported us during
World War II. Russia supported us in the
Middle East. I mean, most people, maybe
a lot in your audience don't realize,
but we were working with the Russian
Navy. We were working with Russian
military in places like Syria going
against al-Qaeda and ISIS. So, we had a
great relationship after the end of the
Cold War. I actually worked and trained
with Russian forces in in uh in
different training uh exercises and
scenarios that we had in the 90s and
into the early 2000s and of course until
911. So, so Russia actually and and and
I wrote something in the last four days
here, Charlie, about sort of rules for
diplomacy that I would, you know, bring
your audience to to the attention of
that. But there's a 80% in a in a recent
in a good poll, 80% of the Russian
people in Russia today, mostly young
people, Charlie, want a more positive
relationship with the United States of
America because they feel aligned with
us. So back then in the 201620 2017 time
frame we're you know the Obama
administration did some really terrible
things. They they expelled a bunch of
Russians. They put sanctions on all
these on the Russians for no other
reasons than to upset the incoming Trump
administration. And one of the actions
that I took among many talking to
foreign leaders which is which was I was
you know authorized to do and fully by
rights to do. I spoke with the Russians
multiple times to let them know, look,
let's let cool heads prevail. President
Trump has a different view on foreign
policy. Let's let us get into the office
of the presidency so we can start a
different tack going down the road when
it came to Russia. the Obama
administration wasn't having anything of
it and frankly the intelligence
community and many uh many on both sides
of the of the political aisle that likes
the likes to have a war you know a
boogeyman in the name of Russia Russia
Russia because Charlie and this is for
your audience there are billions and
billions of dollars that flow into the
coffers as long as we have that
boogeyman called Russia and the American
taxpayers Charlie we can't afford it
anymore we can't afford to have these
these wars going on. And and for
everybody that's been, you know, even if
we could afford it, we should not be at
war against Russia, even if we were
endlessly rich and we had a sovereign
wealth fund. It is not in our
geopolitical interest. I don't like
Putin. You don't like Putin. I don't
like the way they've been acting. I
don't like the fact they bomb churches
on Palm Sunday. That really bothered me
when they did that. But but the real
enemy is all to the east. It's the
Chinese Communist Party. Can we build a
hegemonic coalition against the rise of
the Chinese Communist Party?
>> I'm Elmer Heinrich at 91 years of age
with my wife Shirley who is 82. Now both
of us are still cutting a wide swath in
life all because of Amuna 150. Now
neither of us have any kind of sickness
and we're as flexible as we were 30
years ago and we still do the physical
things we did 30 years ago. Now, we are
asking you to use Amino 150 like we do.
Give it a chance for at least 90 days so
that you can see what 70 plant minerals
and 80 additional nutrients can do for
you. You won't believe it. Amun 150 is
an awesome nutritional supplement.
There's nothing like it.
>> Yes, it really is incredible.
>> Yeah, try it. You will be surprised.
order online or call the number listed
on the screen, but don't place your
order until after you've watched the two
videos on our website. Thank you from
both of us and God bless.
It's all about China and so much of this
is about trying to distract and divide,
separate what should be a coalition
against the Chinese Communist Party. So
now let's talk about John Brennan. I'm
of the opinion, and I want your opinion,
Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, that
we need to be very cautious and very
careful going about possibly indicting
Barack Obama himself. I think we should
start with John Brennan. I think John
Brennan is the central nervous system.
He's the offensive coordinator. He was
calling the plays. He was the maestro of
the orchestra. I think that is the
lowest hanging fruit and he does not
have presidential immunity. Do you
agree? And if so, what could he be
charged for realistically?
>> Yeah, I I do agree that he is the sort
of the lynch pin here, Charlie. And I do
think that there are people, in fact, I
know uh because partly Tulsi has said
it, but I also am aware that there are
whistleblowers that have come forward
with some very, very egregious
information as it relates to that man
that you're showing right now. Um, there
are going to be other leaders that were
in the rooms uh with Barack Obama, with
those two, with Obama and Brennan, uh,
that are also going to, you know,
they're going to they're going to talk
because they don't want to get into
trouble here. There is a there is a
conspiracy and it is still an ongoing
conspiracy. And so all this talk about
statutes of limitations, you know, I
I'll leave it to the to the
constitutional lawyers who have studied
this thing and looked at the problems
that this guy is involved in that
Brennan is involved in. But he's got
he's got a lot he he's at risk right now
in a big big way. And I have a funny
feeling that once you start to bring
these people in and I've been very
public about guys like Jim Clapper
because Jim Clapper I believe you bring
Jim Clapper in Jim Clapper will spill
the beans. Jim Clapper has already said
publicly on on a on a cable news network
that they were ordered by Obama to do
it. We now see the evidence. So, he said
it and that's fine. But now we have the
evidence coming out of the the director
of national intelligence's mouth and and
documented that shows that in fact these
things happened. Tulsi Gabbard the other
day on on another show talked about
these things happening. So, so the the
the legalities of what these people are
facing I think are severe and they it
has to happen. I think that the
president the president of the United
States also needs to understand this
again for your young audience. The
president of the United States is the
president of the United States. He is
the commanderin-chief,
but he's also the the chief law
enforcement officer of the country, not
the attorney general. The attorney
general is the attorney general. And
frankly, you don't even need to be a
lawyer to be the attorney general of the
United States of America. Most people
don't know that. But the chief law
enforcement officer is the president who
has extraordinary authority and power,
executive power. And the president's
going to have to he's going to have to
weigh in from time to time to direct his
justice system to follow what what I
call the constitutional order of our
country to go after and hold to account
people like Brennan, people like Jim
Comey. And there are going to be others.
And once they start that ball rolling
and they start holding these people
accountable, I think and and frankly the
evidence is there. We don't need
yearslong uh investigations. There are
the evidence is there and and frankly
for the courageousness of Tulsi Gabbard
who who I'm a big fan of. Uh you know,
she's exposing more and more and and
what these people do know, Charlie, is
they know that there's more to come. I
mean, she is like like a good lawyer.
And even though she's not one, she's
holding cards that these people know
exist. People like him know exist.
People like Comey know exist. She's
holding these cards because they're
they're going to use them in in the
courtroom, right? In the rule in the
system that we call, you know, our
constitutional order, right? And so when
this happens, you know, Katie bar the
door as to what these people are going
to or what these people are going to
start talking about. But but that has to
happen. You know, at the same time,
President Trump is having to deal with
the situation in the Middle East. He's
having to deal with a frankly, it's a
losing war in Ukraine. So Ukraine lost
the war. It's it's that that part is
done. They're already talking about 60
year olds trying to get 60-year-olds to
serve in the Ukrainian military. So, you
know, there's there's it is a giant
money laundering pit and that needs to
end. And the president uh he knows that,
but he's got to really take heed of the
type of advice that he's getting. But
his number one priority, Charlie, and
I'll finish with this, is what we all
have come to believe in is this this
phrase, not make America great again.
That's Trump's campaign bumper sticker.
And and it and it got him two victories.
But really, the phrase is America first.
And America first is not in isolation to
the rest of the world. America First is
getting and making sure that we take
care of our country for the for the
young people of the future.
>> Stay there. We're going to blow We're
going to blow the brakes. It's America
first, not America only. It's a very
important distinction.
>> It's America leader. It's America first,
but it's also we do not want America
everywhere. That's also a difference.
It's not America everywhere. President
Trump has blazed a new trail. Play cut
393, please, if we have that loaded.
John Brennan and uh Jim Comey and I were
part of the group that uh were tasked by
President Obama to re put together all
the reporting we had on the Russian
interference
and uh which we did. Uh President Obama
uh directly and personally confronted
Putin about the Russian interference in
September and did not accept at face
value uh Putin's protestations.
Uh John Brennan directly did the same
thing with his counterpart,
>> Lieutenant General Michael Flynn. What
did we Was that the clip that you were
mentioning?
>> Yeah, I'd say that's perfect. That was
perfect. So, thank you for teeing that
up. So, for your audience, so he said in
September, that's September of 2016.
What's very important is on the 3rd of
August of 2016, three August 2016,
Brennan, back to Brennan, he brought
into President Obama at that time into
the Oval Office the the dossier and told
Obama at that time that that was that
was made up uh information from the
Hillary Clinton campaign that they were
going to use as their October surprise
against Trump to win the presidency. So,
so Brennan and Obama on the 3rd of
August of 2016 knew then that it was
made up baloney from the Hillary Clinton
campaign to attack Trump so she could be
the president. So, here is here is
Clapper. It's really important piece of
evidence here that Clapper says in
September, so a month later, here is
Clapper saying that the president
directed him as a as a director of
national intelligence to gather all the
evidence about what Russia was doing to
interfere in our elections. Well, Obama
already knew that this this scheme was
in play. That was August of 2016. Now,
we fast forward. Trump wins and and I'll
remind your audience again. There was a
very famous text message that I brought
out in my case of from Stro to his lover
and number two lawyer at the FBI, Lisa
Page. Peter Stro was was the deputy
director of counter espionage for the
FBI. And in his text message to her is
if Trump wins, we have a insurance
policy, right? If he should win, we have
an insurance policy. Well, after I get
after I get picked by Trump, after Obama
said, "No, we can't have him." I get
picked by Trump to be the national
security adviser. Now it's like, oh my
god, this guy who ran one of the largest
intelligence agencies in the world, you
know, had a very different view and was
very close to to Trump on our foreign
policy ideas. You know, on the on the
8th of December, this is one of the
bombshells that Tulsy discovered on the
8th of December in the Oval Office after
Trump beat Hillary, which was which they
didn't expect, they then sat in that
meeting and they conspired to start the
engines of Russia, Russia, Russia going.
Fast forward one more month, five
January 2017, they did it again. This
time in that meeting, and this is hard
evidence, Charlie, in court in the court
of law, the hard evidence that during
that five January meeting, they said
essentially, we need to get Flynn out in
order to get Trump.
>> What do you want the administration to
focus on that you're afraid they might
miss in the cacophony of corruption
here? What would you say is the
strategic plan, the pinpoint, the north
star that we can't lose sight of?
Lieutenant General Michael F.
>> I I Yeah, thank you, Charlie. I think
for for Trump, Trump really needs to he
needs to he needs to remind people what
our country is all about. That light
right on the hill, right? That's he's
got he's got to he's got to give hope to
the American people. And and the re and
the way he gives us that hope is by
telling the American people that look
here is our plan what's already been
exposed to do things to reform the
government to you know reduce the size
of the government and he's already
talking about our economy and the things
that we need to do as as we just talked
about America first but it does not mean
America alone he also is going to he
must end this war in Ukraine he has to
we can't keep you know pouring more
money into into the a civ. He's got to
end that war and he also needs to figure
out a way to bring the Middle East back
to the Abrams Accords, which I thought
was one of the fundamental, you know,
the big ticket marks on his previous
administration. So, those are three big
issues. The the the idea of hope matters
to the American people, but it's hope
with a purpose. And that and that
purpose means you're going to have to
hold people accountable. the president
is going to have to spend, you know,
days of his time directly involved in
where are we withholding these people
accountable because the American people,
Charlie, are not walking away from this.
>> They are not walking away from the
ideology. So, so I I want to zero in on
two two things you said. I might keep
you a little bit beyond the break here
because it's so important.
>> The the Russia thing, I completely
agree. I don't think we should be
sending more weapons to Ukraine. I know
why Trump is doing it and I I can even
make an argument for it and I sympathize
for it. But how do we end this thing
then? Because it seems as if Putin does
not want a settlement to it. If you were
advising,
what is the way that we could come to a
conclusion to this Russian Ukrainian
war?
>> Yeah. I think you know, President Putin
made a statement the other uh yesterday.
I think it was 24 hours ago and it's
very important and Trump should listen
to it if if one of his adviserss hasn't
brought it to him. Trump needs to listen
to Putin's speech like in the last 24-
48 hours and his speech he said these
are these are our lines right so Trump
needs to call up Putin and he needs to
say okay you know what where where are
you and I'm just talking about the two
of them I'm not talking about with
Zalinski because Zalinski is is neutered
he's not he's not effective Trump needs
to call up Putin and say where is it in
that in in that red lines those red
lines that you drew that you are willing
to to negotiate are Are you willing to
negotiate? Are you willing to negotiate,
let's say, an election in the four
Donbasses, the four provinces that that
Putin mentioned in his speech? Are you
are you willing to talk about, you know,
because because there's a place
geography, and I'll point your audience
to it, place called Odessa, you know,
and Crimea. We have to think about that
also. East of the Eurals, East of the
Eurals, the Euro Mountains are in
Russia, right? And east of the Eurals
matter. and Trump and Putin. If Putin
was listening to me right now, Charlie,
and and Obama or I'm sorry, and Trump
was listening to me, they would know
what that what that means. The other
thing is, Charlie, we tend to think
about about Ukraine in isolation of just
that piece of geography. Cuba matters,
Venezuela matters, other parts of the of
the world matter in these alliances and
these structures that we have. So, we
ought the United States of America ought
to be bringing in Cuba. What's the
what's the the future relationship that
we're going to have with the Cubans?
What's our future relationship that
we're going to have with the
Venezuelans? I mean, there's more to
negotiating than just that piece of turf
that that splits the Russian Federation
and and Ukraine right now. And frankly,
I think personally, I would tell Trump
NATO has to be off the table because
Putin and they're just not going to
allow it. And frankly, if you go back to
the to the 1994
Budapest Accords where we were we
committed to no expansion of NATO and I
wrote about this in an article that I
published in the last 48 hours here
about my rules for diplomacy. People can
go to my website to to read it or go
follow me on X read it.
>> So now let's go to you mentioned the
Abraham Accords on this program. We are
on team civilization. We want Israel to
win. However, a lot of people are
growing exhaust with the war. The law
Israel, it does not help to have long
wars, long conflict. It's not good for
anybody involved. A lot of people are in
America. They're growing exhausted with
this issue that is certainly being used
to divide a lot of good people. What
then is your advice on the Israel issue?
Thoughts on Netanyahu, his government,
the Lood party, please. Lieuten
Lieutenant General Michael Flyn.
>> Yeah. Yeah. So, first of all, Charlie,
wars of attrition never help any either
side because they did. They they come at
a huge cost in lives and and treasure. I
think that the for the Israelis
internally, the Israelis need to do some
soularching. There's going to have to be
some some truth uh bombs that are going
to have to come out of the Israeli
leadership. And they're going through
their own machinations right now between
Netanyahu and the leadership in the
military because they're talking about,
you know, the occupation of Gaza. you
know, go ask any Marine that served in
Beirut during the Beirut barracks
bombing, which was like back in 1983, we
lost hundreds of Marines. So, so
occupation forces don't, you know, they
they don't work. So, there's got to be
soularching there. But that soularching
also has to occur in the uh in the in
the White House and and and President
Trump is going to have to talk to his
own internal team to say, what is it
that we can do? He's gonna have to
engage the leadership of the Arab world.
And I mean, in a much bigger way than
he's doing right now. I know that
they're he's got Whit doing all kinds of
things. He's got special envoy WhitF in
the Middle East and Oman. He's got him
he's got him up in Russia. We're we're
spreading our forces too thin here. We
have got to make a decision about
Ukraine and I think the war has got to
end. And and and so the funding of
additional resources that has got to
end. I'm sorry. I mean I you know I I
love Trump. I' I've fought tooth and
nail for him. I've I've been on team
Trump, team America. um back to back to
the wars and and back to kind of the
future. So for the for you know cuz now
I'm going to use the word nuclear
Charlie and I know I don't want to take
too much time cuz I know you got a show
to run here
>> but for your audience your your young
audience nuclear warfare scares the crap
out of me so it should scare the crap
out of your young audience. We have had
discussions about nuclear capabilities
more in the last year, year and a half
than in my, you know, almost four
decades of service in uniform and to
this country. I I've never heard this
much talk about nuclear capabilities and
nuclear standoffs. Once you cross that
threshold and here we are on the
anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima
and Nagasaki, those are devastating
capabilities. And I wrote about that
again in this in this article because
you can't talk about, you know, a
tactical nuclear weapon. It's poison.
It's going to kill millions and millions
of people and it's going to destroy the
fabric of a of a of a large large chunk
of geography just from the tactical
standpoint, never mind the strategic uh
uh aspects of of using a nuclear
capability, which then escalates it even
further, which is what we're continuing
to see in the Middle East and in in
Europe. Trump doesn't want any of that.
You know, President Trump, you you
campaigned on being the president of
peace. I know that's what you want. And
what I want you to do is I want you to
tell the American people what your plans
are, what your objectives are to achieve
that because we will stand with you as
long as we understand what it is that
you're trying to achieve. And I do, if I
were with the president sitting in the
Oval Office, I would recommend that and
I would help craft some of that. We've
got to tell the American people, we got
to be totally transparent because what
Tulsi Gabbard is dropping in terms of
the subversion and espionage directed
against the American people over the
last I don't know 8 10 years is just
extraordinary. That's going to have to
be dealt with and these wars are going
to have to be dealt with and it and it
needs almost a state of the union like
speech to the American people. Maybe
it's an Oval Office uh speech by the
president. I mean, I I want this
president to to so succeed and in a big
big way where where you know, they they
start and you know, give me the tools
and I'll start chipping away on Mount
Rushmore. That's how much I want him to
succeed. And he can do it. He's got the
mandate to do it. He's not the
political, you know, he doesn't have
that sort of he's not a typical
politician. He knows. He uses good
common sense, but he's gota he's got to
tell the American people the direction
that he's heading and we'll go with him.
>> Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, thank
you so much for your time. Excellent as
always. You were patient zero. You've
been through so much. You're a patriot.
Come back soon. Thank you.
>> God bless, Charlie. Thank you.
