Former Trump national Security
Advisor, Mike Flynn, is still doing
these right wing events and saying
the quiet parts out loud, including
what he really believes America
should turn into, a theocracy.
Let's watch.
>> And they're talking about the
United States of America, talking
about the United States of America.
because when Matthew mentioned it
in the Bible, he wasn't talking
about the physical ground that
he was on, he was talking about
something in the distance.
So if we are going to have one
nation under God, which we must,
we have to have one religion,
one nation under God and
one religion under God.
>> That's fascinating.
So how exactly would that work out?
Number one, it's unconstitutional.
So clearly, this man doesn't value
our constitution or what America is
supposed to stand for.
So for all of the alleged
patriotism that takes place on
the right wing.
It is fascinating to hear him,
just clearly,
state that he does not believe in
separation of church and state,
and that our government should
force one religion upon all of us.
And what would that religion be,
exactly?
Would it be Judaism,
would it be Islam?
Of course,
of course it would not be those
things, it would be Christianity.
And I'm curious what all those who
bought into the Judeo Christian
values argument feel,
after listening to that clip.
>> It's amazing.
I just did an interview with
a professor at Brown University,
who wrote a book about this.
You guys are going to get to see
that soon on the conversation,
check that out of 5:30 pm Eastern
every day right here.
So the thing that we talked about
and I said it and then he said,
John Locke said the same thing,
I was like, pretty good, okay?
Which is,
if we're going to pick a religion,
which one?
And not just Judaism or
Christianity or Islam, which sect,
right?
So, in Christianity,
is it going to be the Pentecostals?
The seventh day adventists?
Are they really christians?
I don't know.
You guys get into all those debates
all the time.
The Mormons, the Lutherans,
the Methodists, which one are we
going to pick, okay?
And by the way,
what we could do is we can put it
in a mug or something, and
then pick it out of a mug,
awful- >> [CROSSTALK] situation.
>> Yeah, it turns out it's
the Pentecostals, everybody grab
a snake and when everybody started
talking in tongues- >> Is
the church of the flying spaghetti
monster a contender?
>> By the way they really believe
that the Satanist church is a real
church, right?
There actually worried about it.
They think like, builds above and
all that nonsense, right?
And in Baltimore or whatever else
they believe in, right?
Okay, so if you think it's a real
religion, do
we have to put Satanists in there?
What if the Satanists win, right?
>> No.
But if we have to be guided by one
religion and all the different
sects of Christianity,
totally disagree, right?
Catholic, Protestant,
which one is it going to be?
So, df course, it's absurd.
And that's why the Founding fathers
set up a secular country.
They were super clear.
That's what I
talked with the professor about.
James Madison is the author of
the constitution and
he said 1000 times over,
including in the constitution, that
we shall not establish a religion.
So when you see some people like
Mike Flynn saying that and
then they claim to be patriots,
understand it's actually the exact
opposite.
They're saying I'm a patriot for
white people, I'm a patriot for
fundamentalist Christianity, but
they are not patriots for America.
That is the exact opposite.
America was formed very
specifically, not to be ruled by
a religion because the Founding
fathers saw the nations that were
ruled by religions, caused
disaster, both for the state and
for the religion, right?
And so he hates America.
He hates the idea that we are not
ruled by one religion,
that Muslims, Jews Buddhists,
7th heavens, everybody,
Pentecostals, Lutherans,
can all be part of America.
And we could all have free exercise
of religion and we'll not establish
one and there'll be no religious
test, it's on the constitution.
But he hates this country and
right wingers like him
are the least patriotic people.
They're traitors to the idea of
America.
And every time you see them,
you should say so, and
everyone in the media,
if they were honest, would say
these are the most un-American
people we have ever seen.
>> Also, it is fascinating to see
them call for,
honestly, a much bigger government
involvement in our lives.
Because it would be the government
using force to have us believe in
their form of religion.
That's what that is.
>> You know what, that's very,
very similar to, no joke,
it's similar to the Taliban.
The Taliban says there should be no
separation of mosque and
state with this.
We just figure that our religion,
one religion,
should rule everyone else.
That's the same exact thing
Mike Flynn says.
>> Now, separation of church and
state, not really into that, but
people like Mike Flynn love to
cherry pick parts of
the constitution when it is
favorable to any given issue that
they're talking about.
In this case,
it has to do with Steve Bannon,
who of course, has been indicted by
the Justice Department for
completely ignoring subpoenas in
the investigations of January 6th.
And so all of a sudden, mike Flynn
cares a lot about the constitution
and freedom of speech.
Let's listen.
>> I just did a media hit with
Tucker Carlson for
his show this evening.
[APPLAUSE] >> And
my message, we talked about this
nonsense going on with what I call
the insurrection crucifixion, and
Nancy Pelosi is the punches pilot.
She's the punches pilot.
And this is a crucifixion of our
First Amendment, freedom to speak,
freedom to peaceably assemble,
it's unbelievable.
It's unbelievable,
in fact it's been over 40 years.
Over 40 years, we've never had one
person, not one person held in
contempt or indicted for contempt
of Congress in over 40 years,
to include a former attorney
general of the United States by
the name of Eric Holder.
And of course today, if you saw,
if you're watching the media,
Steve Bannon was indicted today for
freedom of speech, basically,
for an abuse of freedom of speech.
>> So, freedom of speech, very
important part of the constitution
that he will cite when it's
relevant or convenient for
his own political purposes.
>> So 140 cops were hurt and, and
some died on January six.
They're doing an investigation of
that and they're using the
subpoenas for that investigation.
If you believe in Mike Flynn's
logic, any time cops are hurt or
really, anybody's hurt, and
you go to court.
And you say, well, okay,
I want to subpoena your documents
to see how you hurt the cops or
how you hurt your neighbor, etc.
Flynn says, no, freedom of speech,
I don't have to give you the
information that the court seeks.
You go ahead and prove it without
any evidence, because I don't have
to give you the evidence.
Well, that's not how
our system works.
That's not how our justice
system is built.
But he knows his audience is not
that bright.
So he just has to throw out
a talking point.
Freedom of speech means you don't
have to listen to any subpoenas.
No, it doesn't.
It's never meant that.
That's not our system of government
or courts at all.
And you don't even believe in
the First Amendment.
You just told us,
like a minute ago.
You told us that you didn't believe
in the First Amendment, when you
said there should be one religion.
The First Amendment says we
shall not establish a religion.
Now you turn around and go,
I get to break the law because,
freedom of speech.
And a bunch of traitors in there,
applaud, America sucks, yeah,
don't apply the law, the law sucks,
rule of law sucks,
the constitution sucks.
That's what they all
believe in there.
They're all traitors.
>> Michael Flynn has been on
the record as a traitor because he
was asked a very specific question
about what should be done in
response to Trump
losing the election.
And get a load of how he
reacts to it.
>> I'm a simple marine.
I want to know why what
happened in Myanmar,
can't happen here.
[APPLAUSE] >> Yeah, no reason.
It should have no reason.
That's right.
>> Let's come back.
>> All right guy.
So, the guy asked about Myanmar.
There was a coup in Myanmar.
It's amazing how many people in
that room know.
So this has got to be going around
in right wing circles like,
doing a military coup against
the government is awesome.
They did it in Myanmar and
they got away with it.
And so the guy says,
what happened in Myanmar, right?
And and Flynn says, yeah, there's
no reason why we shouldn't do that.
I don't know.
Democracy is the reason
we shouldn't do that.
The United States constitution is
the reason we shouldn't do that.
America is the reason we
shouldn't do that.
And these guys,
at the drop of a hat, they're like,
lets just do a military coup,
who cares about democracy?
Let's just burn the constitution,
establish one religion, Taliban has
got to figure out great.
Saudi Arabia, Iran, they
all have it figured out just right.
Have one religion that
oppresses everyone else.
We were kidding about
Judeo Christian.
No, no, no, the Jews, it will not
be their religion, we will stomp on
them as well as everyone else.
I know how we're going to do it,
military coup just like in Myanmar.
These guys are literal traitors to
the idea of America and
to the actual country of America.
Flynn took that idea, went to the
White House after Trump had lost
and he was considering his options.
They had a three hour debate about
whether to do a coup.
Flynn said yes and
almost convinced Trump, everyone
else in the room to their credit,
said that they would resign if
Trump authorized a military coup.
And so Trump didn't do it, but we
were that close because the right
wing is filled with traitors.
