Colonel McGregor predicts 2024 presidential elections may be disrupted or altered
"I think the normal cycle stands an excellent chance of being altered or disrupted. Uh we have a very weak government. We we are not strong. Uh we don't know about Mr. Biden and the true state of his health and well-being. And if he were to step down, which is eminently possible, uh I don't think the country would accept the vice president as his successor. And I think she might well resign."
About this episode
In this interview, retired Colonel Douglas MacGregor discusses with the host his dire predictions for America following an anticipated Russian victory in Ukraine. MacGregor argues that Ukraine may collapse internally before being militarily defeated, citing mass desertions, press gangs, and public anger at President Zelensky. He draws parallels to the aftermath of Vietnam, predicting that a Russian triumph will reveal American weakness on the global stage and trigger domestic crisis. MacGregor contends that the rational course would have been to cut losses early and negotiate an imperfect settlement. Beyond Ukraine, he raises alarm about millions of young men entering through the open southern border, questioning whether they might become foot soldiers for future leftist violence. Most controversially, MacGregor suggests the 2024 presidential election cycle may be disrupted or altered due to governmental weakness and questions about President Biden's health. He outlines a scenario where Biden steps down and Vice President Harris resigns, creating constitutional uncertainty. MacGregor characterizes the current moment as frontier territory in American history, warning that the country no longer operates under its traditional norms. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes that multiple crises—military defeat abroad, economic problems, social instability, and border security—are converging simultaneously, creating conditions he views as fundamentally dangerous for the continuity of American democratic institutions.
