Gen. Michael Flynn - Dismantling the Administrative State

Doug Casey's Take

General Michael Flynn joins us for a discussion on what the Trump administration might do to get control of the administrative state and stop the escalating war with Russia.

Flynn speaks candidly about the necessity of bold, unconventional actions to reform the U.S. government, highlights the incompetency at the highest levels of leadership. He also explores Trump's mandate for peace, the importance of accountability, and outlines the critical reforms needed within various government agencies.

Flynn emphasizes the urgency of these actions as the U.S. navigates precarious international relations and internal political challenges.
