    enDecember 03, 2020

    Podcast Summary

    • Powerful Interview with Lt. Gen. Flynn on Dan Vongino's ShowLt. Gen. Flynn discussed his targeting, feelings towards Obama, 'lied about sanctions lie,' and thoughts on the intelligence community in a powerful interview, expressing gratitude for listener and family support and a recent presidential pardon.

      The interview with Lieutenant General Michael Flynn on Dan Vongino's show is described as the most powerful and amazing one yet. Flynn, an American patriot and hero, discussed topics such as why he became a target, his feelings towards Obama, the infamous "lied about sanctions lie," and his thoughts on the intelligence community. The interview is relatively uninterrupted and sponsored by ExpressVPN and Stamps.com. Flynn expressed gratitude for the support of his listeners and his family during his ongoing health battle. He also commented on the recent presidential pardon from President Trump, expressing gratitude and thanking God for their faith and the amazing spirit in their lives.

    • Speaker's optimism about Trump's continuation as President amid election controversyThe speaker believes Trump will stay in office due to alleged voter fraud and irregularities, trusts the legal process, and expresses frustration with political class and lack of voter ID measures.

      The speaker expresses optimism that Donald Trump will continue to be the President of the United States due to allegations of widespread voter fraud and irregularities in the 2020 election. He believes that the process should be allowed to play out through the courts and that the American people will ultimately prevail. The speaker also expresses frustration with the political class and the lack of trust in Washington D.C. He believes that the chaos and uncertainty surrounding the election results are a consequence of the resistance to measures like voter ID. The speaker expresses gratitude to those who have supported him and President Trump throughout this process.

    • Americans' Belief in Election Fraud75-80 million Americans believe the 2020 election was fraudulent, and the political class needs to address this deeply ingrained belief, while the media should be more truthful about events surrounding Flynn's interview with the FBI.

      Many Americans, estimated to be 75 to 80 million, believe the 2020 election was fraudulent, and this perception is deeply ingrained among both Republicans and Democrats. The speaker expresses concern that this widespread belief will not be easily dismissed and that the political class needs to address it. He also criticizes the media for their negative coverage of Donald Trump and accuses them of lying about the circumstances surrounding General Flynn's interview with the FBI. The speaker argues that Flynn was not asked about sanctions during the interview, and there is no mention of sanctions in the FBI's own documentation. The speaker's overall message is that the political and media establishments need to listen to the concerns of the American people and work to restore trust in the democratic process.

    • Investigation into Flynn was a setup to remove TrumpFBI's focus on Flynn was to damage Trump, not investigate crimes, according to Flynn and Strzok

      The investigation into former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn during the Trump administration was a setup aimed at removing Donald Trump from office, according to Flynn himself. This was revealed by an FBI agent, Peter Strzok, who came forward and expressed his discomfort with the whole process, which was focused on getting Flynn to implicate Trump rather than investigating any actual crimes. The conversation between then-President Barack Obama and Trump during the transition period, where Obama mentioned Flynn and North Korea's Kim Jong-un, raises questions that have yet to be answered. Flynn believes the country missed out on his expertise and knowledge during the Trump administration due to the damaging process that was underway. The ultimate goal was not to target Flynn or Trump, but to target America and its democratic system. The investigation was part of a larger effort to damage and potentially remove Trump from office, and the current election cycle continues this trend of disastrous political events.

Additionally, Lieutenant General Mike Flynn discussed the targeting and false accusations against him by the FBI, which were later proven to be fabrications. The importance of privacy, security, and truth in these areas cannot be overstated.

    • Flynn's call with Russian ambassador not about lies, but concerns over diplomatic actionsFlynn's call with the Russian ambassador in 2016 was about expressing concerns, not lies. He later pleaded guilty due to personal reasons and emphasized the importance of values, family, and true friends.

      During a phone call with the Russian ambassador in 2016, Flynn did not discuss or lie about financial sanctions against Russia. Instead, he expressed concern about not being "boxed in" by the Obama administration's diplomatic actions. Flynn's concern was documented in handwritten notes taken by an FBI agent present during the conversation. Flynn's decision to plead guilty in late 2017 was due to personal reasons, including his family and faith. He also expressed disappointment in the way the FBI handled the investigation and the public perception of his actions. Despite criticisms of his reputation, Flynn emphasized the importance of staying true to one's values and focusing on the support of family and true friends.

    • General Flynn's Critique of Intelligence UsageGeneral Flynn advocated for a more effective intelligence system to support warriors on the battlefield, pushing back against bureaucracy and earning controversy for his focus on 'bulletproof intelligence' in real-time.

      During his military career, General Flynn was a critic of intelligence usage and products within the American intelligence community under President Obama. He advocated for a more effective intelligence system to support warriors on the battlefield, causing controversy and earning the title of "public enemy number one." He believed the intelligence community operated too slowly compared to the fast-paced nature of combat, and he aimed to flip the system to prioritize supporting warriors in real-time. His focus on providing "bulletproof intelligence" as quickly as possible to those in danger drove him to challenge the bureaucracy and push for change.

    • Lieutenant General Flynn's focus on making organizations more effectiveDuring his military career, Flynn prioritized pushing decision-making to the field to support warfighters and called for significant reform within the US intelligence community.

      Lieutenant General Michael Flynn's experiences in the intelligence community taught him about the challenges of organizational processes and bureaucracy. As he rose through the ranks, he focused on making organizations more effective by pushing decision-making away from Washington D.C. and toward the field to support warfighters. He believes that the US intelligence community needs significant reform, especially during a second term of the Trump administration. Additionally, during this interview, we learned about the Christmas and holiday season sale from Chamonix, where you can get their new Zotique Deep Correcting Serum for free with your order, and Bravo Company Manufacturing, which produces the finest life-saving equipment on the market.

    • Prioritizing quality and integrityCompanies like BCM prioritize quality and responsibility, recognizing the potential life-saving role of their products. Individuals, like General Flynn, also value integrity and substance over negative attention.

      Bravo Company Manufacturing (BCM) prioritizes quality and responsibility above all else in producing their firearms. They believe in the potential life-saving role their products may play and strive to ensure they function optimally. Meanwhile, Lieutenant General Michael Flynn's story illustrates the politically motivated targeting and character assassination he faced during his career, despite an untarnished reputation. The events surrounding his name being brought into question were seemingly out of the blue and served to tarnish his reputation during a politically charged time. Both BCM and General Flynn's stories highlight the importance of maintaining integrity and focusing on substance rather than succumbing to baseless accusations and negative attention.

    • Obama officials' affair compromised national securityDuring the Obama admin, an affair between high-ranking officials compromised national security by potentially making their communications accessible to foreign adversaries.

      During the Obama administration, high-ranking officials, such as Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, were involved in an affair while handling sensitive counterintelligence operations. This compromised national security as their communications were interceptable and potentially accessible to foreign adversaries. The lack of concern for the consequences of their actions, including the harm inflicted on others, highlights the egregious nature of their behavior. The potential for foreign powers to access this information is a significant concern, especially given their sophistication in intelligence collection. This incident is just one example of questionable actions during that time, which were not taken seriously at the time but have since come to light. It's crucial to acknowledge the potential damage caused to our country by such actions and the importance of holding individuals accountable for their actions.

    • UK warned Flynn about dossier author's reliabilityDuring the 2016 presidential transition, Flynn was warned about the unreliability of the dossier's author, but he was later involved in a briefing where it was discussed. Despite questioning its validity, Flynn became a target in the investigation, emphasizing the need to trust instincts and verify information, especially from internal government sources.

      During the presidential transition in 2016, General Flynn was notified by the United Kingdom that Christopher Steele, the author of the dossier, was not a reliable source. Despite this information, Flynn was later involved in a briefing with Jim Comey where the dossier was discussed. After questioning the validity of the dossier, Flynn became a target in the ongoing investigation, even though there was no case against him at the time. This incident highlights the serious issue of internal government elements attempting to undermine the presidency and the American public's trust in their government. General Flynn's experience underscores the importance of trusting one's instincts and questioning the validity of information presented, especially when it comes from within the government. The Steele dossier was a dangerous new perversion in American politics, and it's a bold statement that such an internal intelligence hit job was carried out against an incoming president and a candidate for office.

    • Obama warned Flynn during transitionFormer General Flynn expresses concern over potential questionable actions during Obama administration, emphasizes importance of accountability and trust, and warns of societal breakdown if issues remain unaddressed.

      Former General Michael Flynn believes there were questionable actions taken against him during the Obama administration, specifically a warning from President Obama about him during their transition meeting, which he finds confusing and concerning. He also emphasizes the importance of accountability and trust in government institutions, particularly in the areas of federal law enforcement and the judiciary, which he feels have been lacking. Flynn believes that if these issues are not addressed, they could lead to further breakdown in society. He also mentions the exposure of corruption in government during his own experience and the need to protect the rule of law and values that make the US unique.

    • Government officials' challenges and the Power XL Air FryerThe Power XL Air Fryer is a versatile kitchen appliance that saves time, cooks healthier, and evenly distributes heat. The investigation into Michael Flynn's involvement with Russia wasn't opened until six days after initial probes, raising questions about possible interference.

      The discussion touched upon the challenges faced by the U.S. government with its officials, both appointed and bureaucrats, and the weight of these issues. The conversation then shifted to the Power XL Air Fryer, which was praised for its ability to replace multiple kitchen appliances, cook healthier, and save time. The PowerXL Air Fryer was also highlighted for its even heat distribution and easy clean-up. The discussion then returned to the topic of government officials, with a focus on the timeline of investigations against individuals associated with the Trump team, including General Michael Flynn. It was mentioned that an investigation into Flynn wasn't opened until six days after the initial investigations, and that this delay raised questions. The implication was that someone may have influenced the FBI to open the case against Flynn. The conversation ended with Flynn addressing the allegations against him regarding a 2015 dinner at Cambridge.

    • Holding individuals accountable for egregious behaviorStrong leadership and accountability are vital in addressing issues within the intelligence infrastructure and law enforcement system. Unacceptable behavior, like the case of Michael Flynn, must be addressed to restore trust in the system.

      Accountability and strong leadership are crucial in addressing issues within the intelligence infrastructure and law enforcement system. The discussion highlighted the case of Michael Flynn, where an investigation against him was opened based on questionable information. This behavior cannot be tolerated, and holding people accountable for their actions is essential to solving problems and restoring trust in the system. The speaker emphasized the importance of strong leaders who can manage large bureaucracies and hold individuals accountable for egregious behavior. The ongoing attacks against President Trump and the American people underscore the need for accountability and leadership in government.

    • Two patriots staying hopeful amidst challengesFlynn and Bongino believe there are many more patriots standing up against issues than portrayed in media, appreciate each other's support, and remain hopeful for a time to look back on events with a beer.

      Flynn expressed his conviction that there are many more patriots standing up against these issues than what is currently represented in the media. He also expressed his appreciation for Dan's unwavering support and shared the belief that history will view them as great American patriots. Despite the challenges they are facing, they remain hopeful that they will get through it and look forward to a time when they can look back on these events with a beer in hand. Overall, their conversation underscores the importance of staying informed, engaged, and committed to the values and principles of the American republic.
