Speaking at a political conference, former national security adviser to the president of the United States, Michael Flynn was asked about a Myanmar style coup happening in the US.

0:11.0

Why couldn't it happen? He says there's nothing stopping it and it should happen, which the best way I can see it is him calling for a military coup saying it should happen here in the United States.

0:21.0

Those that aren't familiar, there were claims of election fraud by the military in Myanmar, so they intervened and people started clapping and cheering for this and it's worrying because I look, I haven't say this, it doesn't matter what you personally believe, what I personally believe or what anyone really personally believes it matters, what the factions believe and how many there are.

0:40.0

Because there are people that completely agree with Michael Flynn, there are people that completely disagree and we're not going to persuade them.

0:45.0

So this is it, I mean the fracture is here and it's going to get, I don't know, I think I think the escalation is going to get worrisome as it is.

We've got a bunch of stories about riots, Portland seems to be on fire every day anyway.

And so we're going to be hanging out and spending this Memorial Day with retired Green Beret Joe Kent who's running for office as an America first candidate in Washington's third district, I believe correct.

So I enlisted in the army in 98 and then was in Special Operations already when 9-11 happened.

2:03.0

So she was in the military, she was a Navy, a cryptological officer working with Special Operations.

2:09.0

So she was killed about a month after Trump tried to get our troops out of Syria the first time.

2:14.0

So that kind of propelled me into the political realm, despite all the grief I was going through.
