A short but important interview for those who want to save America.

Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who is advising President-elect Donald Trump’s national security team, discussed key challenges facing the incoming administration including the dangers posed by Chinese influence (nope, it’s not “Russia, Russia, Russia”).

Key Points:

• Panama Canal: “Who’s controlling this very important waterway? It’s the most strategic waterway for the United States of America on the planet. China is the dominant player right now between us and them.”

• The Chinese regime either owns or controls some component of 80 percent of the largest ports of our hemisphere.

• America has always been a benevolent “nation of givers.” However, it must focus more on domestic policy; every citizen has a responsibility to engage in local action.

• Flynn was a “JFK Democrat” before the Democrat party changed. While Flynn’s overall beliefs did not change, his party affiliation did (to Republican in 2021).

• Flynn produced a new 30-minute documentary titled “Flynn, Deliver the Truth. Whatever the Cost.” Access it at flynnmovie.com (includes trailer).

• Flynn discussed the effects of years of smears against him on his large family, which was attacked along with him.
