DEFCON ZERQ, with Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid, welcomes Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn for a roughly 90-minute interview about the fight ahead of the midterms. Flynn uses Joshua Chamberlain's bayonet charge at Little Round Top as a metaphor for Americans who are tired of being attacked, and explains how he uses social media as information operations. He says he believes people around President Trump are keeping bad news from him, argues Trump should hand focused tasks to accountable leaders, with Tom Homan's deportation task force as his example, and questions continued support for Zelensky.
On the elections, Flynn warns that losing the House could mean impeachment proceedings in 2027, walks through Electoral College math from New England to Ken Paxton's race in Texas, points to urban turnout in Kentucky, and keeps coming back to one message: vote.
After he signs off, Alpha and Josh debrief: Flynn's recommendation of Eric Hoffer's The True Believer and what it says about mass movements, the Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden task forces, his history with Keith Kellogg, and why they think telling people not to vote only helps the deep state.
