Groundbreaking Conversation with Gen. Flynn

Coming soon to the Code Red Talk Podcast with Zach Terry

If you've been following my Substack, you know I dive deep into conversations that challenge the status quo—especially those involving faith, politics, and the raw truths about our nation's past and present. Today, I'm sharing highlights from a riveting transcript of General Michael Flynn. This isn't your typical polished interview; it's raw, reflective, and packed with insights that could spark serious debate. Flynn touches on everything from Civil War heroes to modern ideological battles, the role of Christianity in America, election integrity, and—most controversially—a theory on how October 7, 2023, might have been orchestrated to pull the U.S. back into Middle East conflicts.

This post is longer than my usual ones because there's so much gold here. I've pulled out the most compelling quotes and themes that I think could go viral—stuff that's thought-provoking, edgy, and timely. Flynn's military background and unapologetic patriotism shine through, but he doesn't hold back on critiquing institutions, history, and current events. If you're into history buffs, faith-based discussions, or geopolitical hot takes, buckle up.

For the full episode, head over to coderedtalk.com—it's dropping on Tuesday of next week. Don't miss it; this transcript is just a teaser.

Flynn on Civil War Heroes: Grant, Sherman, and Lessons for Today

Flynn kicks things off with a deep dive into American history, drawing parallels between the Civil War and our current divisions. He's studied battlefields extensively and admires leaders who prioritized mission over credit. This section feels like a masterclass in leadership, with Flynn emphasizing sacrifice and resilience—themes that resonate in today's polarized climate.

"I think the best period for me, which was really the most sacrifice in the United States, was the Civil War. And when I think about different general officers or certainly soldiers that fought, the ones that come to mind in that particular war was, of course, General Grant. ... Grant was a real tough, tough guy and did not care about credit. He just, you know, he was a very mission-oriented guy."

He highlights the Siege of Vicksburg as the true turning point (not Gettysburg, as many think), leading to Sherman's march. Flynn praises Sherman's eloquence amid brutality:

"Sherman wrote a absolutely beautiful letter from the heart to the citizens of Atlanta the night before he then went in and attacked and, you know, like they say, burned the city. ... In the letter, he talks about how how difficult war is and that we cannot keep this thing going."

Flynn ties this to modern military reforms he's involved in, working with West Point cadets and figures like Secretary Hegseth. He laments "wokeism" eroding institutions:

"The tragedy of this woke ism stuff that we're going through ... is the idea that whatever happened in our history if it was on something that the left doesn't appreciate ... they want to get rid of it. ... You can't deny your history."

The Ideological Divide: Good vs. Evil, Christian Nationalism, and Family Splits

Flynn doesn't shy away from calling our national rift a "competition of good versus evil." He draws analogies to Lincoln's era, warning of ideological divisions fracturing families and communities—much like the Civil War, but without clear geographic lines.

"Our country is severely divided. ... We're certainly divided by competing ideologies. ... I do believe that it is a competition of good versus evil."

He embraces the "Christian nationalist" label unapologetically:

"I've been called a Christian nationalist, right? ... Well, what's the opposite of that? Well, the opposite of that is an atheist and globalist, I guess, right? So I would much rather be called a Christian nationalist, someone who believes in my faith and loves what I have learned to be is very good in life. And the other side is also loving my country, right, the nationalist side."

Flynn critiques how Christians have taken freedoms for granted, urging courage and discipline:

"The Christian church ... has taken for granted the freedoms that we have. ... It's going to take being courageous out there, whether or not you get involved in your community, whether you get involved in your church."

He blasts political inaction on issues like Roe v. Wade, which he calls unconstitutional:

"For 40 years, we were killing babies. ... You're going to tell me that all of those political people ... couldn't turn this thing over? They could. ... We, the people, allowed it."

On the "greatest generation" post-WWII:

"That whole generation worked really hard. ... Our country really sprang out of World War Two."

Election Integrity, Pardons, and the "Conspiracy Theorist" Trap

Flynn pulls no punches on 2020, predicting explosive revelations:

"What will come out here very soon is just like we have seen with the whole Russiagate affair ... they're going to discover that it's been happening even before that, but this election report ... is going to come out about the 2020 election. ... If that report has is so detrimental ... we actually did undermine and have a stolen election."

He slams Biden's administration as "illegitimate," citing unchecked immigration, crime surges, and economic woes. On pardons:

"President Biden ... gave more pardons than all other presidents combined plus some. ... Over 8,000 pardons."

Flynn traces the term "conspiracy theorist" to post-JFK CIA tactics:

"The phrase conspiracy theorist was purposely designed so when anybody of influence ... would say the government did it. They would immediately attack them ... and call them a conspiracy theorist."

He calls out media bias and figures like Jamie Raskin for downplaying crime.

The Constitution's Biblical Roots and Calls for Unity

Flynn argues America's founding documents are steeped in Judeo-Christian values:

"Our Constitution was built on really a strong set of Judeo-Christian principles and values. ... Seventy, seventy five percent of the Constitution is derived from the Bible."

On the Bill of Rights:

"The Bill of Rights is actually based on the Ten Commandments. ... The Ten Commandments are promises that we make to each other, just like the Bill of Rights are promises that we make to each other."

He urges Christian unity across denominations:

"The most important thing is that we're unified under the word of god ... If we're going to survive as a nation ... the one component of our nation that must [unite is the Christian church]."

The Bombshell: October 7 as a Ploy to Draw the U.S. into the Middle East

This is the part that'll likely ignite debates. Flynn, drawing from his extensive experience with Israeli intelligence and borders, questions the "breakdown" on October 7, suggesting a deliberate stand-down to pull America back into regional conflicts.

"The 7th of October, to me, the period of time from I think it was around 4.30 to about 9 o'clock in the morning ... there had to have been a conscious decision to stand down ... I actually called for the day after. I called for the commander ... to be removed immediately and to be investigated."

"So now the question is why, right? ... Was it drawn, were they drawn in, or were they drawing in the United States of America into a bigger war, right? ... Was the Israeli government under Netanyahu ... drawing in the U.S. to have to get to kind of return, right, to come back into the Middle East?"

"We did get drawn back in. We got drawn into something that I know that President Trump didn't want to get drawn into. ... Would that have happened had that October 7th event not occurred, right?"

Flynn balances this with support for Israel as a "bastion of freedom" but critiques potential "sins" by leaders. He contrasts it with Islamic radicalism, citing rape statistics in Europe linked to migration (e.g., 73,000 in the UK) and birth rate disparities threatening Western cultures.

Globalism, Migration, and the Math of Cultural Shift

Flynn warns of globalist elites (naming Harari, Gates, Schwab) pushing control via organizations like the WHO and IMF. On migration:

"Millions, millions, illegals illegally came into this country over the last four years that are Muslims ... It's a math problem. ... Christian community ... about 1.2, 1.3 children per Christian family ... Muslim side ... somewhere between 4 to 8 and 6 to 10 per woman."

He urges assimilation and questions motives: "Are Muslims rushing to Saudi Arabia ...? No. Where are they going? ... Into the West."

Wrapping Up: A Call to Courage

Flynn ends on a revolutionary note, asking what drove the Founders' 4% to fight:

"What caused a very small percentage of people at the founding of this country ... to say, enough is enough?"

His message: Faith, discipline, and action can heal our divides.
