"This isn't going to be a peaceful transfer of power."

General Mike Flynn Joins us for Doug Casey's Take [ep.#359}

Today we’re joined by General Michael Flynn who delivers a blistering critique of the bureaucratic deep state, the Bidenistas, and the dangerous path the U.S. is treading both domestically and internationally. Flynn doesn’t mince words as he outlines the urgent need for bold and unconventional actions to restore order and accountability in government.

"You see this building behind me? It’s never going to ruin your life again."
Flynn describes what real leadership looks like, imagining the moment Trump could shut down the FBI entirely, symbolizing a reckoning for government overreach.

For Flynn, it’s not just about reform—it’s about uprooting entrenched systems:
"There’s no trimming the branches here. It’s time to pull it out by the roots."

He draws parallels between historical leaders like Alexander the Great and Trump, emphasizing the need for extraordinary courage to tackle extraordinary times. Flynn warns of the stakes:
"If Trump doesn’t take these actions, I’m not sure we’ll course correct in time."

From the dangers of escalating tensions with Russia—“We’re one step from World War III”—to the cultural decay caused by a “woke bureaucracy,” Flynn paints a stark picture of America’s challenges. Yet, he remains optimistic that decisive leadership and a mandate for change can restore the nation to greatness.
