General Michael Flynn joined the Joe Hoft Show on TNT Radio on Wednesday to discuss a myriad of issues impacting the US today.
In an exclusive interview, General Michael Flynn shared his observations and thoughts regarding topics from the Speaker of the House to the potential war in the Middle East.
Here are some of the comments General Flynn shared:
We are going to have to fight for the truth for it to be exposed.
He then discussed the piece he wrote on Twitter the other day, where he shared:
Americans see the truth: Our ruling class is corrupt, inept, and pathological. In the upside-down world they’ve built, what’s bad is good, adversaries are partners, and terrorism is not only acceptable but estimable.
General Flynn “set a landscape” for what is going on. He started with a discussion about the Speaker of the House. He said he believed that Rep. Mike Johnson will be voted speaker and:
This will be another sort of nail in the coffin of the Uniparty in the United States and the Uniparty is really this combination of Democrats, and Republicans, and the establishment, and the lobbyists and the media…This is a death nail on behalf of we the people. We are going to send a message across Washington DC that the American people have had enough.
[General Flynn then directed his focus to problems in the US]
…In our own country we have a problem with Hamas, Hezbollah, radical Islamism and support for radical Islamism…
We know that there are tens of thousands and probably in the ballpark of a couple of hundred thousand, mostly military aged men who have come from these adversarial nations, these nations that we have identified as terrorist havens…
This is not going to happen only in Southern Israel with Hamas, this is going to right here at home and there is a large contingent of these organizations right here in the United States of America. They’re well represented. They’re well funded and they’re well led and they have direct ties into our White House, into our Pentagon and into our State Department…
General Flynn went on to discuss how the US funded Iran, and they now have missiles that can go well beyond Israel and into the Eastern Med. He says the US has already been involved in this war:
This new emerging war is much more physical than what we have seen and what the American people have experienced over the last 20 years let’s say. Where we have now shot down as many as eight of these long-range missiles…[directly supported by Iran]
These Iranian-backed forces have already attacked American locations across the Middle East. Up to 33 Americans were killed by Hamas in Israel and a number have been taken hostage, not counting the Israelis.
We’re talking about a framework Joe, and I call it globalism vs. Americanism, because America is the last redoubt for hope for humanity on this planet…Globalists come in an economic alliance and a military alliance. […e.g. the BRICs nations].
General Flynn went on to discuss digital currency and Biden’s Executive Order 14067. Then he discussed the lack of competency and relationships of this White House which are lacking.
I do believe that the security system in Israel broke down so badly that it had to have been somebody that caused that and that somebody had to be inside. They had to be inside. There’s no way in the world that I’ll believe any other thing only because I’ve walked the fence line of the Gaza strip…
When Mike Johnson becomes Speaker he ought to demand that President Biden come in immediately and give a state of the union and specifically talk about the issues in Ukraine. What are we doing with the $200 billion dollars?…
The Gaza strip is a mess. We’ve spent billions and billions and billions of dollars. The United States right now needs new leadership. We need strong leadership. We need bold, courageous leadership. We need to be able to look at the world, to take a big step back and say “OK”. We are in charge now. We are going to take care of our home. We are going to take care of America first. We can juggle other balls…[Europe, the Middle East]… because we’re there, Joe. You know, Donald Trump comes in in 2024, that’s fine, that’s great for the country, but we’re there. We are there already and these messes that this Administration has created…
I actually thing the United States of America is being played as a fool in Eastern Europe…China is benefitting the most.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported the Maine State Police have identified Robert R. Card, 40, as a person of interest in the horrific mass shooting that occurred at two separate locations in Lewiston, Maine.
Authorities have released an official mugshot of Card and have shared several details regarding his past mental health problems along with information regarding his prior military history.
Before the mugshot was released, several users on X jumped the gun and claimed Robert Card was a sex offender.
The Gateway Pundit did not publish this item.
The claims were made after it was discovered a Robert W. Card listed on Maine’s sex offender registry, however, the person of interest to the mass shooting is Robert R. Card.

THE SHOOTER IS NOT A SEX OFFENDER

After the claims picked up wind, Maine’s official Sex Offender Registry was taken down.
LOOK:
The move by authorities to take down the sex offender registry is more than likely an attempt to combat anyone from mixing the two men up.
Robert card (the shooter) is the man in the 1st pic, blue shirt.
However, there’s another Robert Card in Maine (2nd pic, white shirt) whose photo is viral cuz of ppl claiming he’s the shooter. They found him on a sex offender list. He is NOT the shooter, but IS a pedo pic.twitter.com/YfR9H548Iv

Per AP:
CLAIM: A mugshot shows that the suspect in the mass shooting in Maine is a registered sex offender who cannot legally possess a firearm.
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. The post confuses two people named Robert Card. The person identified online using an incorrect mugshot is Robert W. Card, who was 32-years-old when arrested in 2016 and charged with possession of sexually explicit material. Police in Lewiston, Maine, shared a photo of Robert Card, a 40-year-old U.S. Army reservist from Bowdoin, in connection with the mass shooting Wednesday night.
THE FACTS: In the hours after a gunman opened fire at a bar and a bowling alley in Maine’s second largest city on Wednesday, social media users shared a photo they claimed was the suspect still at-large
Despite the Sex Offender Registry being taken down there’s still an article by Central Maine reporting the arrest of a Robert W. Card from Fairfield, Maine who was charged with possession of child pornography back in 2016.
The mugshot in the article has since been used to falsely claim the mass shooter in Lewiston was a pedophile.
Community Notes on X has also been combatting the claim:

Abe lived and went to three schools in Arizona’s Eighth District district, and he’s running for Congress to give back to the community that made him the man he is today.
I’m proud to call Abe a friend and honored to give him my endorsement.
Hamadeh ran for attorney general in 2022, while Masters ran for Senate.
Trump has previously criticized Masters for not fighting hard enough to prove that the Arizona election was “rigged and stolen,” the conversation was recorded and publicly released last October.
Masters and Hamadeh are competing for the seat currently held by Republican Rep. Debbie Lesko, who has announced that she will not seek re-election.

A Gallup Poll released Thursday shows Democrats’ approval of Joe Biden dropped eleven points in the past few weeks to the lowest point in Biden’s presidency. Biden went from 86 percent approval among Democrats down to 75 percent approval. Gallup analysis points to a growing slip in the Democratic Party between supporters of Israel and Palestinians affecting their response to Biden’s support for Israel after the October 7 terror attack by Hamas that killed 1,400 Israelis (including 33 Americans) and saw over 200 Israelis (and some Americans) taken hostage.
Biden’s overall approval slid from 41 percent in September to 37 percent in October. Independent approval went down from 39 percent to 35 percent, while Republican approval was steady at just 5 percent.
Excerpt from Gallup analysis:
Immediately after the attack, Biden pledged “rock solid and unwavering” support for Israel from the U.S., and he subsequently visited the country on Oct. 18 to reiterate that message. But Biden has faced criticism from some members of his party for aligning too closely with Israel and not doing enough for the Palestinians. Some prominent Democratic lawmakers and protesters around the U.S. have called for Biden to do more to help the millions of Palestinians who are in need of humanitarian aid as Israel attempts to eradicate Hamas.
Early this year, Gallup found that for the first time in the U.S., Democrats’ sympathies for the Palestinians outpaced those for the Israelis. Although the survey is not designed to allow for statistically reliable estimates for any subset of the three-week polling period, the daily results strongly suggest that Democrats’ approval of Biden fell sharply in the aftermath of the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas and Biden’s promise of full support for Israel on the same day. Biden’s current 75% approval rating among Democrats is well below the 86% average from his own party throughout his presidency.
…Biden’s immediate and decisive show of support for Israel following the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas appears to have turned off some in his own party, resulting in Democrats’ worst assessment of the president since he took office. Biden’s overall approval rating likewise matches his personal low. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict comes at a time when Americans remain pessimistic about the economy, the Biden administration is struggling to deal with increasing numbers of migrants attempting to enter the country, and debate continues about how much aid to provide to Ukraine in its war with Russia.
Also on Thursday, the Biden administration gave unqualified support to Israel and Jewish Americans after several days of Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre playing both sides.
Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates gave a statement to the Times of Israel that only spoke about support for Jews who have been under anti-Semitic attacks since October 7 (excerpt):
“Amidst the rise in poisonous, antisemitic rhetoric and hate crimes that President Biden has fought against for years, there is an extremely disturbing pattern of antisemitic messages being conveyed on college campuses,” White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates tells The Times of Israel.
“Just over the past week, we’ve seen protests and statements on college campuses that call for the annihilation of the State of Israel; for genocide against the Jewish people. Jewish students have even had to barricade themselves inside buildings,” he says.
…Bates says “these grotesque sentiments and actions shock the conscience and turn the stomach. They also recall our commitment that can’t be forgotten: ‘never again.’”
“Delegitimizing the State of Israel while praising the Hamas terrorist murderers who burned innocent people alive, or targeting Jewish students, is the definition of unacceptable – and the definition of antisemitism. President Biden is proud to have been an enemy of antisemitism and hate his entire life, and he always will be,” Bates adds.
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby gave an impassioned defense of Israel at Thursday’s White House press briefing in response to a reporter about civilian casualties in Gaza:
OMG I can’t believe I’m saying this, but….go John Kirby?
TV Globo’s @RKrahenbuhl: “So, besides saying that he doesn’t have confidence in these numbers, the President went further to say that innocents will die and that this is the price of the war. You also said that.”

TV Globo’s @RKrahenbuhl: “So, besides saying that he doesn’t have confidence in these numbers, the President went further to say that innocents will die and that this is the price of the war. You also said that.”
Kirby: “I have indeed.”
Krähenbühl: “Don’t you think this is insensitive? There’s being very harsh criticism in about it. For example, the Council of American-Islamic Relations said it was deeply disturbed and call on the President to apologize. Would the President apologize?”
Kirby: “No.”
Krähenbühl: “And does he regret saying something like that?”
Kirby: “What’s harsh — what’s harsh is the way Hamas is using people as human shields. What’s harsh is taking a couple of hundred hostages and leaving families and anxious, waiting and worrying to figure out where their loved ones are. What’s harsh, is dropping in on a music festival and slaughtering a bunch of young people just trying to enjoy an afternoon. I could go on and on. That’s what’s harsh. That is what’s harsh and being honest about the fact that there have been civilian casualties and that there likely will be more is being honest, because that’s what war is. It’s brutal. It’s ugly. It’s messy. I’ve said that before. President also said that yesterday. Doesn’t mean we have to like it. And it doesn’t mean that we’re dismissing anyone of those casualties each and every one is a tragedy in its own right…It would be helpful if Hamas would let [Gazans] leave….We know that there are thousands waiting to leave Gaza writ large and Hamas is preventing them from doing it. That is what is harsh.”
The Biden administration has faced internal division among staff who feel alienated because they sympathize with Palestinians over Israelis, according to reports. One State Department official resigned in protest of Biden’s support for Israel.
And then there is the ‘Hamas wing’ of the Democratic Party led by Palestinian-American Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Somali-American Rep. Ilhan Omar (R-MN).
Biden and the Democrats could ill-afford to lose even a small percentage of voters next year to independent progressive candidates Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cornel West. A poll reported on by Fox this week shows both men taking several points away from Biden as well as President Trump (excerpt):
According to the Suffolk University/USA Today poll released Monday, 37% of registered voters said they would support Biden and 36% said they would support Trump. However, independent presidential candidates Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Cornel West also garnered significant support — 13% and 4% respectively.
The support for Kennedy came largely from independent voters (23%), but he also drew large chunks of support from Republicans (9%) and Democrats (7%). West did the same with Democrats (6%) and independents (5%), as well as 2% of Republicans.

The family of Robert Card, the man accused of shooting and killing 18 people in Lewiston, Maine, have shared several details with police about Robert’s “acute” mental health episodes the months leading up to the mass shooting.
In an exclusive report, NBC News reported Katie Card who is married to Robert’s brother, shared that Robert began to hear “horrible” voices talking about him just shortly after he was “fitted for high-powered hearing aids.”
Katie Card told NBC “He was picking up voices that he had never heard.
She continued “His mind was twisting them around. He was humiliated by the things that he thought were being said.”
As of 6 PM on Thursday night Card is still at large after gunning down and murdering over a dozen people in Maine.

Per NBC News:
The man suspected of fatally shooting more than a dozen people in Lewiston, Maine, on Wednesday night is still at large, police said Thursday, as his family urged him to turn himself in.
Card, a firearms instructor and a longtime Army reservist, began to hear voices that were saying “horrible” things about him about a couple of months ago when he was fitted for high-powered hearing aids, according to Katie Card, who is married to his brother.
She said his mental health had deteriorated quickly.
“He was picking up voices that he had never heard,” she told NBC News. “His mind was twisting them around. He was humiliated by the things that he thought were being said.”
