COL. ROB MANESS.
One of the things that just jumps out at you in terms of what these guys were, well, plotting seems to be a seditious conspiracy to overthrow not just what it wants to describe as an "illegitimate albeit elected government under Donald Trump," but the Constitution of the United States as well. Is that right?
Yeah, I would call it planning in a plot, and these are former USAID employees is what were found on the original videos. But it's more to it than that. There's a group of 1600 generals, admirals, national security intelligence people called National Security Leaders for America that's headed up by a Rear Admiral, a retired Admiral named, Mike Smith, that are involved in this and the whole idea was that they've been planning leading up to the midterm elections about how to de-legitimize the outcome of the elections and cause what their terminology is an "election meltdown," so that the governors could declare the Federal government illegitimate if Donald Trump crosses any number of red lines, like, say, invoking the Insurrection Act if there's a lot of violent riots and those kind of things around the outcome of the election from the left and those kinds of things, so . . . . But they're in-state that their desired in-state is it's not just about Donald Trump and the elections; that's used as a tool to get to the pathway to their in-state which is something like a third Continental Congress where they throw the Constitution out and rewrite a new one. Now, they, we haven't seen a lot of specifics about what that looks like but I think if you go to the Democrat Socialists of America [communist] platform pages that are out there because their people are involved in this too and one of them is on the videos and you see what that might look like. And it changes the entire construct of the government of the United States to a unicameral legislature, eliminates the presidency, . . .
SECURING AMERICA: 10/29/26
Frank is joined by Ron Armstrong of Stand Up Michigan and retired Colonel Rob Maness to discuss Michigan’s Senate race, Chinese influence in the state, analysis of meetings involving former USAID employees, and military resilience.
Ron discusses Democrat nominee Abdulrahman El-Sayed’s narrow primary win, his associations, and disputes over his statements, credentials, and positions. He examines how the race is playing across Michigan, including Muslim communities in Dearborn and Hamtramck, college towns, Black communities, and union households, and argues that turnout will be central to the outcome. The conversation also turns to China’s presence in the state, including local opposition to a proposed battery plant and concerns about Chinese purchases of land near military facilities, manufacturing, and investments tied to Chinese companies. He praises Representative John Moolenaar’s work on China-related issues and discusses efforts to limit investment in companies connected to the Chinese government.

Rob discusses researcher Jennica Pounds, known online as Data Republican, and her analysis of meetings involving former USAID employees and other groups. He describes the meetings as planning for a response to possible election-related actions by the Trump administration, including efforts to challenge the government’s legitimacy and restructure the Constitution. He also discusses reported involvement by former national-security figures, state officials, foreign participants, and federal employees.
The conversation addresses whether the activities could lead to violence and the possibility of invoking the Insurrection Act. On military readiness, Rob assesses Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s plan for major U.S. military facilities to sustain operations independently for 90 days, saying this is feasible and referring to an earlier proposal for a base microgrid and small modular reactors, while noting that resilience would also require cybersecurity measures.
We're two or three weeks from early voting in Michigan which is by mail that started on the 24th of October and in person voting just started this last Saturday so the numbers are going to be interesting but I wanted to share a few things with you because I think again this is relevant around the country is one of the things that we know the left did was take over our universities and our education system and indoctrinated our children who are now adults many of which are old enough to actually begin to teach if you will but those that are of college age right now so here we're the differences in why he won by 1% in even the primary. So all of the cities where there are universities, Abdul Sayed won by . . . where Eastern Michigan University was, he won by 53 points; East Lansing Michigan State University, he won by 36 points; Kalamazoo Michigan where Western Michigan is, he won by 36 points; Ann Arbor University of Michigan he won by 31 points; Central Michigan Mount Pleasant, which is very much a rural area, he went by 30 points, and Allendale which is Grand Valley State he won by 28 points. The reason that that's important is it shows you that those were the giant numbers along with the heavily Muslim population that carry him to Victory I believe it changed that number by that 20% that they all thought he had to lead by because they assume the rest of the people would kind of come home. But here is where it gets interesting. The reason it was only a 1% race is that in all of the large black communities that traditionally vote 85 or 90% Democrat, let me run through a few of those numbers because Haley Stevens won Muskegon Heights, which is 71% black, by 53 points. Royal Oak township, 94% black, Haley Stevens won by 37 points. Highland Park, 82% black, won by 31 points. Detroit, 75% black, she won by 28 points. So everywhere that there was a heavy black community which is of course a huge part of the democratic block we know it's 14 or 15% overall but they get as you know 90% or so of these votes almost universally he was crushed in those areas because what they have seen in Hamtramck and Dearborn, Michigan which borders the suburbs of Detroit, is that they have absolutely no respect for not only the black people, the black business owners, but the black women, and there has been a real clashes that have happened down there because they are saying this man does not represent their culture, does not represent their people, is not going to do anything for the black community. And, of course, that means that many of them, and when I say many I don't know the percentage until we get to the election day, are simply saying I cannot vote for him. We don't know whether that will mean some of them will stay home. We don't know if that means that more of them will vote for Rogers though certainly many leaders including faith-based leaders have come out saying that that's what they have to do because as with Kennedy, Jr. I think many of them said the Democratic Party has left them and that they are going to vote for Rodgers. The other thing is that the unions, which are heavily part of that Southeast Michigan region, are saying he wants Universal Health Care for all, which means they're Gold Healthcare Plans that are through these unions will be gone. And guess what they have said? They said we have friends that are over the Border here in Canada who come over here to get their Medical Treatments because they have Universal Health Care and cannot get treatment, can't see a doctor, their Healthcare is a disaster in Canada and they don't want to see their Gold Healthcare Plans that they fought for be taken away. And that is absolutely what his goal is, and he's not hiding that. So the last thing I'll say about the latest in the numbers is we have held our own in the Republican side and early mail in turnout, but one of the interesting things were is that the Ann Arbor turnout, which is the same one we mentioned that he won by 37 points. Only up until a few days ago their vote is actually down by 18% from where it was in 2022. At the same time, Detroit's vote is up 16.5% but what did we say? In Detroit, the numbers were heavily against him. In Ann Arbor, they were heavily in favor of him. Does that mean more voting for Rogers and he's losing at both ends we don't know but what we can say right now is that it is a it is a get off the vote effort and our people turning out a little earlier than they used to or more mail in then before we don't know but we do believe we'll win election day and we do believe ultimately with all of the internal demographics we are seeing that Mike Rogers should paevail in this race and we should put Abdul Sayed back into his box, if you will.
