Greeting salutations and welcome my friends to another edition of The Power Hour on six
0:04
to t n WTV and an Eclipse Day special. No it's not no,
0:09
it's if you heard me with Mark earlier, much ado about nothing, and
0:13
now that it's all over with, I can say it. I can say
0:15
it openly, I can say it out loud man seriously, National Guard being
0:20
called out, NASA launch and rockets into the dark spots and all kinds of
0:25
speculation online and what was Iran going to attack O bets or something during the
0:30
eclipse. I'm not sure, look anyway, and it was just stuff,
0:35
much ado about nothing. But it's over, thank goodness, and uh and
0:39
we get to move on from here. What a gorgeous day. Aside from
0:42
that, you know, four minutes of darkness totaled four minutes of darkness that
0:47
we had today in sub areas. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful day. Hope
0:51
you enjoyed it, because nothing, I guess is going to look like that
0:54
for the rest of the week. We'll have the temperatures, but not the
0:57
beauty. Who've got the complete forecast coming up for me first warding weather.
1:02
But before we get into all of that, there was a new movie.
1:03
It was released last week, and it's up. It's up. What would
1:08
you call it? I guess a bio a bio drama, but it's biographical,
1:17
but it's uh. I guess there are some dramatic licenses taken in there
1:21
too, but it's from someone who was uh kind of cast aside. He
1:26
was cast aside, he was up. He was blamed, he was defamed,
1:30
he was ostracized, he was left standing in the code. He was
1:34
left almost broke if you listen to what Rush used to say about him all
1:37
the time. But he is back with a vengeance, like a phoenix rising
1:40
from the ashes. He's he's got that new film that just came out this
1:45
past week to tell his story. And I want to say thank you,
1:48
thank you, thank you for making some time for little me this afternoon,
1:52
General Michael Flynn, and I really do appreciate you allowing me some time to
1:57
talk about this great film that we have out right now. And Flynn delivered
2:00
the truth, whatever the cost. I just found out the last night that
2:05
we are number one on Amazon of you know, head and Shoulders above Barbie
2:10
Willy Wonka Oppenheimer and uh and uh, I think Aquaman is the other one.
2:16
So we probably you know, we've had our Sheriff Chocolate now with Willy
2:20
Wonka, you know, and Willy Wonka too. I like I like that
2:23
show. But the fact that we're number one above those says a lot about
2:27
the American people, where the American people are at, and what the American
2:30
people are looking for right now, especially with the country and the shape that
2:34
it's in. So I think it's the fact that you're you're just beating Barbie
2:38
on the stream right now says a lot about your military acuity. I still
2:45
don't understand the Barbie thing. I really don't this this movie. As I
2:50
told you before we went on, I have not seen the film. I
2:53
have seen the trailer. I am inspired by the trailer. This to me
2:57
and and and correct me if I am not correct, But this looks like
3:01
you're sticking out your chest and saying here's some truth. You haven't heard it
3:05
yet, so here's what really happened, and just telling the world this,
3:08
This is what General Flynn is all about. Yeah. The The movie features
3:14
Tucker Carlson, Devin Nunez, a couple of investigative journalists who who were really
3:21
deep into this and I'm you know, this is done. And also the
3:24
director and the production team are actually from Hollywood and I and I asked them
3:29
specifically to do this show, to do this film because I didn't want,
3:32
you know, some real strong conservative documentary team. I know a bunch of
3:37
them that are great people, and they would have they would have, you
3:38
know, taken this thing and maybe created some some false narrative. But I
3:44
can't have that, so I wanted to go with a completely different It took
3:46
me two years to find them, and I found really the right team,
3:51
which is really important to me. And the story is a very honest,
3:54
very open, authentic portrayal of what happened, but also uh and and I
4:01
call it a story of survival, but it's also uh it shows and it
4:06
talks to faith and family and the corruption in our government. It talks to
4:13
the idea of endless wars. We discussed, you know, the the narrative
4:16
of you know, Flynno's where the bodies are buried. We just specifically address
4:19
that there are things that will be seen in this movie that I have never
4:25
spoken about ever. Uh and and there's and the only people that knew about
4:29
them were the people in the rooms when I was there, and so,
4:32
uh, those are those are powerful moments and and people will realize right away
4:36
that this is not about Democrats and Republicans. This is about, you know,
4:41
the direction that America is going to take, uh, if we don't
4:45
get our act together here coming into you know, this next year or this
4:48
year. And and it's also a timeless movie. Like one one woman who
4:56
came out of the the you know, the evening the other night showing she's
5:00
a lawyer. She sayes, this needs to be taught in every single law
5:02
school in the country right now. She said that this is just it blew
5:06
her away. She came because she was a skeptic of you know, General
5:11
Mike Flynn. She had heard all the things in the media, right and
5:15
she said, I just wanted to get I wanted to see I had a
5:16
chance, you know. So And on that note, Chuck, We're going
5:20
to thirty five cities in the next fifty fifty five days. We've already done
5:27
two cities. We're now in Savannah, Georgia, tonight, I'll be in
5:31
I'll be up in South Carolina tomorrow. People can go to flynnmovie dot com
5:36
and and see where the tour sites are at you can purchase tickets on that
5:42
at that site that we have general admission and VIP. VIP gets about one
5:46
hundred dollars in gifts that we're presenting to all the VIP, So it's a
5:51
pretty good deal. The general mission tickets are, you know, and I'm
5:55
at every single event, and what I do is I we attended. We
5:59
go to the event, we speak to the people prior just just briefly.
6:02
We we show the movie, and then I stay for another hour afterwards to
6:09
do Q and A and the Powerful Thing so Far, And just the first
6:14
two eight hundred and fifty at the first one and four hundred and fifty at
6:16
the second one. People stayed for the Q and A. And I was
6:20
really, you know, honored that they did that because I think that they
6:24
they were like, oh my god, I can't believe what I just saw.
6:28
And and that's the that's the you know, that's part of what the
6:31
testimonials that that we're getting from people are just like blown away and they just
6:38
they can't believe how corrupt our system is. But the other big message is
6:43
how do we how do we fight back? How do we fight back?
6:46
And and that's that comes out in spades from the members of my family who
6:50
the country will be introduced to. That fought. You know, we'd say
6:54
that, we use the phrase fight like a Flynn and very very important to
6:59
us as a as a you know, as a large family. On one
7:01
of nine. My father's the World War Two in Korea, VET. He's
7:04
deceased now. He's a retired sergeant from the army. My mom, you
7:09
know, she's deceased as well now. But you know, taught us a
7:12
lot of great things as kids and as a family. And you know,
7:15
when the when the going gets tough, the one the one group that gets
7:18
going is the Flynn family. And we were not going to give in and
7:25
you know to what we were facing. And a lot of people ask me,
7:27
well, why did you plead guilty? And I talk about that.
7:30
I talk about that very honestly, and my wife does as well. People
7:32
will be introduced to my wife and her and I've been together since we were
7:36
thirteen years old, so so you know, you don't have a relationship that
7:41
long with somebody, you know, and be described the way that the media
7:46
and the left have described me. And I will tell you two other people
7:49
that are very powerful in this movie is Tucker Carlson and Devin Nuniaz. Both
7:54
of them are people that I know and and respect, and they are very
7:59
powerful and commentary in the kinds of things that they say. It's really it's
8:05
not about Democrats and Republicans. This movie is not. This is about this
8:09
country and how we can get through what it is that we are facing right
8:15
now. And we're definitely off the rails, there's no doubt about it.
8:18
How do we get back on the rails? We address that in the movie.
8:22
So anyway, I just appreciate you giving me some time to talk about
8:26
it in such detail. Oh, I'm honored. And I think twenty twenty
8:28
four, with what we are facing in November, what I consider to be
8:33
an obvious choice between a leadership and falling on our face for the next four
8:37
years, this is the time for the story to be told. But I
8:41
hear a vibrance in you general that. Frankly, during the hearings, I
8:45
would watch and I will not say that you looked broken, but you looked
8:50
fractured. You looked as if you were wondering, how is this a conversation,
8:54
How is this an accusation? How is this America? And I hear
8:56
a renewed vibrance in you right now is making me very happy. But I
9:01
will ask you on on a personal level, sir, how long did it
9:05
take for you to breathe deeply, get your head together and realize, Okay,
9:11
I've got to change strategy because this is no longer the country that I
9:15
knew. Yeah, I mean, you know, that's a good question.
9:18
I think that all throughout and there's not you know, for you and your
9:24
audience. There's a lot of a lot of days when I didn't feel so
9:26
great, you know. I mean, but I think that where where I
9:31
felt it? And I talk about this in the movie actually, you know,
9:35
and I wrote a book about this too, and people can go to
9:37
flynnmovie dot com and find the book. I wrote a movie called Letter to
9:41
America, and in the movie I address letters from Americans. And it's a
9:48
really powerful moment in the movie because and I and in the in the trailers
9:54
that you see where there's a there's I used water as a metaphor for how
9:58
I felt drowning. I called it drowning and uh, and I addressed this
10:03
in the movie specifically your question, And I think it's a really powerful It's
10:07
interesting that you asked to be honest with you. The the American people is
10:13
what gave life back to me. And they did it through a whole variety
10:18
of things. And uh. And I addressed it in the in the book
10:20
Letter to America, which is a really simple book. It's only because I
10:24
think it's you can probably read it in one cup of coffee. Is a
10:26
very simple uh, sixty pages. I think the the uh the movie though,
10:31
addresses it also specifically. Uh. And and it's a feeling of having
10:37
life breathed back into your body. And I'm a lifelong surfer, right,
10:41
so I surf. I grew up surfing big waves, small waves of water.
10:46
Water was always the feature of my life, my family's life. And
10:48
we talk about that in the movie. And and when you wipe out on
10:52
a big wave, you know, you get pounded down below the surface of
10:56
the water. And and you can have and I you know, I used
11:00
to be able to hold my breath years ago. I could hold my breath
11:01
for well over a minute sometimes. In fact, I've been tested up to
11:05
almost two minutes. But now you know now, But of course I'm older
11:09
now. But when you get pounded down below the surface of the water,
11:11
and you're being pounded by by surf, big surf. You you can feel
11:16
a sense of loneliness, you can feel a sense of isolation, and you're
11:20
clearly at a certain moment in time, you begin to to you know,
11:24
you're sucking for air, right, You're looking to suck for air. And
11:26
and and there was moments I felt that, and then the American people came
11:31
to my rescue and breathed it back into me. And that's that I addressed
11:35
specifically in the movie. And I think that's a really powerful part of it.
11:37
As has anyone from from the administration, from the DC swamp, has
11:43
anyone attempted to renew a friendship, build a bridge, maybe even say I'm
11:48
sorry, we let you fall on a sword and nobody came to your rescue.
11:52
Yeah, very few, very few. I'll tell you I have a
11:54
great relationship with with Trump for sure, and but very few. They're They're
12:01
weak. These are these are this is where this is where our country we
12:05
we the people have fallen apart because we keep electing these people in there.
12:09
But now now there's been nobody in the media, nobody, nobody in the
12:13
in the in the in either aisle of you know, the big parties,
12:18
right, Nobody's ever come and said, geez, Mike, I'm so sorry
12:20
for what happens. You know, they they they want to hold on to
12:24
power at whatever costs for them. And what we have a responsibility to do
12:30
as as leaders and as and as uh sickly my in my case the profile
12:35
that I have and we're you don't rise you know, one one thing I
12:39
tell you to your audience. You don't rise to the level of the director
12:43
of one of the largest intel agencies in the world, you know, the
12:46
most senior intel officer in the department entire department offense, nor to the National
12:52
Security Advisor. You know, my my being what they described me to be.
12:56
And and you don't have a president under Obama who so fears you that
13:01
he tells the incoming president during the transition of the country, don't hire this
13:05
guy. Why. Yeah, And I addressed that in the movie. You
13:07
know, why do they fear me? And there's a there's a there's some
13:11
of us and I and I'm not co patent myself on the back, but
13:15
I I just know how I am. You know, there's an incorruptibility,
13:18
that is that is built into certain types of people. And UH and by
13:22
the grace of God, I I have been blessed to you know, what
13:28
drives me, what motivates me is UH is our country. It always has.
13:33
I was born on an army base. I grew up with around my
13:35
father, you know, all I wanted to ever do that from the time
13:39
I can remember, was served and I served you know, nearly three and
13:41
a half decades, and uh in five of those years in direct combat operations.
13:46
So I mean, you just, you know, you don't get to
13:48
the level that I got to, you know, because you're some wallflower you
13:52
know, and and that and you and you're owned by other people. I'm
13:56
not, you know, the only people, the only you know, people
14:00
that are really strong in my life or my family. And of course the
14:05
strength of my faith was really renewed by my family and by the American people.
14:11
Like I said, the American people really really, they really really showed
14:16
me in a many many ways why I fought overseas. I always say,
14:22
you don't fight overseas because you hate some enemy. You fight overseas because you
14:28
love your country, you love your family, you love your children, and
14:33
the American people showed me why I believe that. Then when I went overseas
14:37
to fight for our country, they reminded me of why I did that and
14:41
how important it is to to uh that we have this beautiful you know,
14:46
I call it an experiment in democracy, but we are a constitutional republican.
14:50
For us to sustain as a constitutional republic, we are going to have to
14:56
you know, we're going to have to stand our ground here and this inside
14:58
of our country. I use the phrase local action equals the national impact.
15:03
So I want people to now's the time stand up, step up, speak
15:05
up, no more wallflowers. Get involved in your communities, get involved in
15:09
your families, your churches. I don't care what you do, but do
15:13
something. The destiny of this country will be determined by each one of us
15:16
right now as individuals. What we do, what we decided to do going
15:20
forward, not what we did in the past, because what we did in
15:22
the past didn't work. And and uh and uh, and maybe that's being
15:28
overly general to all to everyone. Maybe there's and people that are in your
15:33
arts that say, I I've been doing a lot for my community and things,
15:37
and I serve my country well, I serve my country too. I
15:39
know what service is about, but I'm serving it again and I need people
15:43
to do the same. Every one of us has to do it. You
15:46
know. I don't have the life record that you have, but you sound
15:50
like you and I would probably have probably a big friends had we met in
15:54
our youth, because the way my folks hear the same preaching all the time,
15:58
I do something, stop complaining, do something, be involved, and
16:03
do something. And h Unfortunately that's alien. All those things you just described
16:07
about yourself and your rise over the years are not qualities that are shared in
16:11
America the way they used to be. And people people don't understand them.
16:15
Therefore they can't initiate them in their own lives. And that's a sad thing.
16:19
Yeah, yeah, and it really is. And and but it's not.
16:23
It's not universal. And you know, for you know, your audience,
16:29
for the audiences that I speak to around this country. What what else
16:33
I want to tell people is that you're not alone. That there's a lot
16:37
of people right now that feel the same way, and there's a lot of
16:40
people that are starting to rise up and get involved. I mean, I
16:44
love when I see I do a lot of work with with different organizations that
16:48
that are prominently run by women, especially these these women that are like you
16:55
know, Moms for America or Women Fighting for America, women for Liberty.
16:59
And the reason why is because the I watched so many of these women,
17:03
I got to know a couple of them that were fighting for their children.
17:06
These are young moms fighting for their children in schools and and they're standing up
17:10
in front of school boards. We've all seen these videos in the last couple
17:14
of years. Well, I know a lot of these people, and I've
17:15
and I've you know, done a lot of a lot of things to help
17:18
them to raise their statute, to raise them raise funds because they can fight
17:22
back, and to help them run for these offices. Because now these moms
17:26
are saying, I'm sick of this, I'm going to run for school board.
17:29
And and we've we have won a lot of school boards around this,
17:32
you know, across the nation, and you know, we're we're getting control
17:36
back of our of our education system. You know, if I if I
17:40
was ever asked to go back into the government, I would I would only
17:42
go back into the government. I've talked about this, I've answered this in
17:45
different ways to different people. But you know, we have got to We've
17:49
got to, you know, get rid of this Department of Education. It's
17:52
ruining our country and uh and then turn the education back over to parents.
17:56
That's why home schooling is is is uh rising. I mean, it's rapidly
18:03
growing across the country all at every place I go, every state that I
18:06
go to, I talk about homeschooling and people go, oh my god,
18:08
we have homeschooling is exploding in my community, in my town. And that
18:12
means that people are pulling kids out of their public schools because the public schools
18:17
are teaching filth to our elementary and secondary kids. These are kids, this
18:22
is this is to me, this is this is you know, this is
18:25
child abuse. So but but we have but we have people in our country.
18:29
We have a component in our country that believes that that is okay.
18:33
It is not okay. In the military, you never you never stayed a
18:37
red line on the battlefield. But I will tell you my red line is
18:40
anybody who abuses a child. That is my red that's my personal red line.
18:44
And I and I do a lot of things to to uh to get
18:48
involved in that issue. Like I just talked about, and we also have
18:52
another another effort where we do what we call Project Defend and Protect Children,
18:57
and it's an anti child track efficking uh project that I'm part of. But
19:02
these are the things that you know, because I know what my capacity is,
19:06
I know what my capability is. I know I know how how influential
19:10
my voice can be. Uh. And I'm not perfect. I'm I'm away
19:14
from that way. You know, I'm hugely imperfect in many many ways.
19:18
But I but I refuse, I've refused to give give up. You know.
19:22
If anything, I will be the last redoubt of defense for this country,
19:27
uh, if necessary. And I'm just not going to put up with
19:30
this, this communist or socialist takeover, which is very real. I mean
19:34
the Trump Trump talked about this while he was the president. He said,
19:37
he's he said it in a State of the Union. He said that America
19:41
will never be a socialist nation. Why would a president of the United States
19:45
of America have to state say that in a State of the Union addressed to
19:48
the nation, you know. So anyway, that's that's that's me. I
19:56
before I have to say goodbye, because I know your time is limited.
20:00
General Michael Flynn. Uh, the movie is flintmovie dot com where you can
20:03
also pick up you know, if you want to get the book, as
20:07
he said, you can read that with a cop coffee. This is also
20:11
available on DVD. I believe what Walmart and Target I know have it.
20:15
Who else? Amazon? Yeah, Amazon, you can, Amazon's number one
20:18
right now. If you can go to Walmart or Keep or Target. You
20:22
can order it online from those three outlets. It'll be live streaming in about
20:27
uh probably about another week and a half. Well, you'll be able to
20:30
have it on live streaming maybe two weeks. But this is why I'm doing
20:33
this around the nation tour. You know, if you want to come and
20:37
meet me in person, I'm going to every single one. I'm sitting in
20:40
an r V right now. Uh. We're driving all across this country and
20:45
I will be at every single event personally to give people an in person live
20:48
experience, premier experience to watch this film and uh and and they get a
20:53
chance to you know, to meet me and speak with me, uh in
20:57
an intimate way, more intimate way. So that's why I'm doing that.
21:00
But they can go to flynnmovie dot com. You can see where we're going
21:03
to be traveling to there's a site on that website that shows the tour locations
21:08
and they can order you know, you know, or order the DVD and
21:12
uh, and you can just sign up for notifications of other things that we're
21:17
doing. And and UH, I have a few bo I've actually written eight
21:19
books, but the one the ones that are really I think critical for this
21:25
is The Letter to America. And then I have another book on there that's
21:27
a best seller. That's a fifth generation warfare, and that's the warfare that
21:33
we're in. And uh, that's a best seller and it's self published,
21:37
which is a really big accomplishment. And I've pat myself. I'm a co
21:41
author on the back of that hard and retired Boone Cutler. He's a terrific
21:45
American great patriots, blown up badly in Iraq and went through all the serious
21:49
post traumatic stress and and nearly committed suicide. But he's now helping others.
21:55
So he and I have been great buddies. And and UH, anyway,
21:59
you know, this is about standing up for our country. We don't fight
22:03
overseas because we hate. We we fight because we love and we love our
22:07
country. We love our families, we love our communities and That's why I'm
22:11
doing this. I just I believe so deeply in uh, in what we're
22:15
facing, and I understand what we're facing. I definitely understand what we're facing.
22:18
And I don't want our my children, my grandchildren, your children,
22:22
your grandchildren, to your audience to have to face the this this tyrannical,
22:30
overbearing, you know, socialist movement that is in fact real in our country,
22:34
you know, we you know a lot of people describe it as a
22:37
globalist takeover, and it's it's real. These are real people really have real
22:41
agendas and uh. And there's no more conspiracy theories. This is this is
22:45
a this is a this is a battle, and it's a battle of our
22:49
time, for our generation. And uh and now's our time to to to
22:53
to do the things that we are taught at citizens, which is get involved
22:57
in your communities. Christ go vote, if nothing else, pray if nothing
23:00
else. Right, if it's not even to you at this point, you're
23:04
not paying attention. I think that's what it comes down to. The movie
23:07
again, it's called Flynn Deliver the Truth, whatever the cost, available on
23:12
DVD at Target, Walmart and at the Amazon. I checked your tour and
23:18
I do not see you coming anywhere near Columbus, Ohio. I would love
23:21
to shake your hand, but I'm not traveling to Kansas to do it.
23:23
But I will keep an eye on that tour list and and maybe some updates
23:26
will be made and we'll get a chance to meet in person. Yep,
23:30
absolutely, I mean we're in Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania. We're in we
23:34
actually had a place in in uh in Ohio, but we got all we
23:37
got into all kinds of drama with a with a with a nasty pastor who
23:42
didn't want you know, didn't want Flynn, right. So that there you
23:48
there's your there's your you know, you know, and I and and it's
23:52
really too bad. It's really a shame. And there's people in Ohio that
23:55
know about this, you know, and you can share this with your audience.
23:59
You know, there's a really really uh you know, he deceived us,
24:03
and I'm sorry about that. You know. I wish that he I
24:07
wish he had an open heart and you know, instead of what wanting to
24:10
protect his five O one C three poison from the pulp. It is not
24:12
an unknown thing. It's it's sad, but it is a reality. General
24:17
fly for your service to our country. I thank you for your time today.
24:21
I thank you and UH and best of luck with this film. Yep,
24:23
