GREG KELLY (HOST): I hear some murmurings, you know about the staff shake-up at the Pentagon. They're putting people in place who might not be opposed to aggressive action and the President does have some options, at least on paper.
Can you tell us what those options are, and your opinion if he might take any of them?
MICHAEL FLYNN: Well I -- you know, I don't know if he's going to take any of these options. I -- I mean -- the President has to -- he has to plan for every eventuality because we cannot allow this election and the integrity of our election to go the way it is. I mean, this is just totally unsatisfactory. There's no way in the world that we are gonna be able to move forward as a nation with this.
So, the President has a -- has a -- I -- I just mentioned one of the options. I mean, he could immediately, on his order, seize every single one of these machines around the country, on his order.
He could also order -- he could order the -- the -- within the swing states, if he wanted to, he could take military capabilities, and he could place them in those states and basically re-run an election in each of those states.
I mean, it's not unprecedented. I mean these people out there talking about martial law, it's like it's something that we've never done. We've done -- martial law has been instituted 64 -- 64 times, Greg.
