Two Mikes - Our "Greatest Ally" is Our Greatest Enemy with Phil Tourney and Jack Maxey Part One by

Today, on the Two Mikes, we were lucky enough to have another chance of speaking with Colonel Richard Black (ret'd) always a sound and incisive voice on the proper conduct of U.S. foreign policy. Colonel Black is a former Marine fighter pilot and the former chief of the criminal Law Division at the Pentagon. He also long served as Senator in the upper house of the Virginia Legislature, and so is also a very sound voice on U.S. domestic politics. We first spoke about the confirmation of Kash Patel as U.S. Attorney General. Colonel Black said that Patel has a hard row to hoe as out of 11,000 FBI officers, at least 40-percent had before the election been assigned to trying to screw around with the lives of Republican activists, suppress their political voices, and so make them inclined to withdraw from politics. Patel, he said, is faced with a horribly corrupt and anti-American FBI that has nothing but contempt and disdain for American Citizens. Moving on to foreign policy, Colonel Black noted that, in Gaza, The U.S. government is doing nothing more than trying to evict people who have long lived there, and who have, since 1948, seen their land increasingly and deliberately absorbed by Israel with nearly complete U.S. backing, and, at times, cheerleading. It is absolutely clear that this proposed eviction of the Palestinians is squarely powered by hatred for the Palestinians, as there are no Jews living in Gaza and only about one-percent of the population is Christian. We also have learned that Biden's administration was funding al-Qaeda and other Islamist groups in Syria and so paid for the destruction and removal of Assad's regime, and warded power to a grotesque group of organizations who specialize in violence, and especially in the rape of women and young children. On the brighter side of foreign policy, Colonel Black said that President Trump deserves great credit for moving ever closer to ending the war in Ukraine, a war which the media re now reporting has cost U.S. taxpayers more than $300 billion, much of which seems to have disappeared into the hands of Zelensky and other gangsters, perhaps including some well- known American names. Colonel Black also pointed to the coming showdown in Europe over the issue of the continued existence of the European Union, which is one the most undemocratic government executive branches ever created. That branch is appointed not elected. Between all-out support for the Ukraine War, and the bankrupting amounts spent on combatting the fraud known as “climatism”, and unlimited and culture-murdering illegal immigration the EU seems intent on destroying the European section of Western Civilization. In closing Colonel Mike asked Senator Black if the Republicans can take both houses of the Virginia legislature in 2025? Senator Black said there is a chance that the party can take back the House of Delegates, but, on the whole, the Republicans still face a state-wide situation in which DEI stands deeply entrenched in much of Virginia.

Today, The Two Mikes again welcomed back the excellent investigative reporter Jack Maxey. Mr. Maxey, listeners will recall, was the first journalist to secure the hard drive from Hunter Biden's computer, and shared it with a number of senior federal government officials so they could get a handle on the illegalities Hunter and his band of cohorts were up to. Mr. Maxey noted that most of those who received the hard drive never sought to exploit the material on the hard drive. Our discussion today focused on more current events and particularly Trump's initial actions and words since the Inauguration. Mr. Maxey said that Trump appeared to be intent on fulfilling his campaign promises, particularly on the issue of illegal immigration. On this issue, though, it seems that sending only 1,500 troops to the border is insufficient. Why not multiple brigades or even divisions to close the border as the border wall is being completed? One reason for this is clearly the fact that so much of the U.S. military is deployed overseas either fighting or being prepared to fight in wars – like those in Ukraine and Israel-Palestine – which are of precisely no interest to the national security of the United States. Making things worse is the fact that additional units of the U.S. military have been sent to Syria to try to control the mess created by the Israeli-Western intelligence services that successfully overthrew Assad's regime, an operation meant to satisfy Israel's passion for creating a “Greater Israel”. This foolish action is not likely to do much more than reinvigorate the Islamist guerilla groups that Western governments have been fighting for decades. Only well-educated Westerners could believe that the Islamists will reliably acquiesce in a pro-Israel Syrian regime. The question also must be asked about how long Netanyahu's Israel can last, given the divisions created by Netanyahu's war, the information now leaking out that he removed defense forces from the Gaza border just prior to the Hamas attack of 7 October 2023, and the fact that the United States is now led by a president Netanyahu refused to support during the election. Three other factors seem clear at the start of Trump's second term: (a.) He still likes to run with billionaires and appoint them to government offices; (b.) He speaks far too often as if he is intending to take America to war with Russia, as well as any place Israel tells him to attack, and (c.) He seems ill-advised if he thinks the scheme to move all of the Palestinians out of Palestine to other Muslim countries has a chance in hell of working.

Today, the Two Mikes were fortunate to host the return of Tom deSabla, an eloquent Libertarian and a talented economist. We discussed the economic troubles that President Trump is inheriting and the problems -- economic and political – his administration will face in trying to solve them. The first problem, obviously, is the federal deficit, which has tripled since 2001. This problem has become much greater because of the fires – (man-made?) in Los Angeles. This week's estimates suggest that it will cost at least $275 billion of the taxpayer's money. Americans have always been profoundly generous in supporting their fellow citizens affected by natural disasters. But this time the relief money needed is unprecedented, and in this case Trump faces not only the deficit problem, but the political and, perhaps, moral issues. The Trump government must identify where the funds will come, and, as important, must arrange a means to deliver the enormous aid required in a way that ensures it is used only to rebuild the burned-out parts of the city. Whether or not the fires were intentionally started, Governor Newsome's government has definitively proven itself to be a thoroughly profligate, amateurish, and authoritarian organization, and as being incapable of doing even the most necessary of governmental, suppressing crime, providing useful education rather than leftist indoctrination, and, most obviously, making the state's invaluable forest resources as safe as possible from wildfires. It would be madness for Trump's government to put $275 million into the hands of Newsome and his gang unless arrangements are for a strict oversight mechanism that ensures the taxpayers' money is spent for the purposes for which it is intended, and not for the leftist ruination of California which all Americans have been watching Newsome, his party, and their extreme leftist bureaucracy are conducting in the state. A second major problem for Trump's government is to reestablish the reputation of the United States as a fair and a non-war-seeking republic. That of course does not mean that America does not protect itself and its genuine national interests. It means that in order to live in a world where America is less detested, Washington must curtail – preferably stop -- interventionist wars, unending sanctions, entangling, useless, and expensive alliances like NATO and the UN, and the overthrowing of legally elected governments. Simply put, the economic world that American leaders built after 1945 no longer exists, and the United States itself is far more disliked – even hated – in the world than ever before. Indeed, the world as a whole recognizes that the U.S. government that the threat posed by China to many areas of the world has been the product of the United States insisting that China be admitted to the World Trade Organization (WTO), with the status of a still “developing country”. After spending seventy years learning how to crush a militarist, murderous, and expansionist USSR, America and many of its Western allies pretended the Cold War never existed and happily enabled China to become a deadly Communist powerhouse on the back of U.S. and Western economic investment.

Wokism is the death wish of the inferior, the unintelligent, and their pawns Today, The Two Mikes spoke with Dr. Edward Dutton, an anthropologist, journalist, and polymath who lives and works in Finland and produces distinctive books that help to explain the ups and downs that occur during the unfolding of civilizations, as well as their causes. Dr. Dutton said that in the world's current difficult condition there is a bit of justification for guarded optimism. In essence, the ideologues and practitioners of Wokism are unknowingly doing “God's work”. So devoid of commonsense and intelligence are these Wokesters that they are, in essence, genetic mutants and are slowly being replaced by highly conservative peoples whose distinguishing characteristics are intelligence and religiosity. Indeed, Woke leaders are easily identified by their lack of truth-telling, their eagerness to revel in a high-level of lawlessness, a their noticeable lack of intelligence, their terror of a fair fight, their passion for being victims, hypocrites, narcissists, as well as for teaching other to be the same, their unending thirst for power, their rabid hatred of religion, and, most recently their eagerness to look after and support other peoples, rather than their own, as well as to pardon people associated with any kind of criminal activity. In short, Wokism is the property and pride of genetically inferior left-wingers who aim to cause civilizational collapse, while operating under the guise of “social justice” to hide their ardent dedication to Social Darwinism. On the other side of the divide lies conservatives, people who are generally fit (physically and intellectually); self-reliant, courageous, religious, group-oriented – a fundamental part of successful conservatism – and appropriately belligerent. The foregoing traits constitute the basis for surviving the lethal antics and intellectual nonsense advocated by mad left-wingers. American conservatives are especially capable of taking back their country, as they have proven themselves to be one of the world's foremost examples of a people whose intelligence, belligerence, respect for tradition and their fellows, strong and durable religiosity, and ability to carve a successful civilization out of a wildly dangerous North American wilderness. These conservatives simply have no use for the tenets now cultivating the world's current and aggressively anti-humanity morass. Professor Dutton closed by noting that the collapse of civilization for which the left yearns and has worked to cause, may yet come, but it will not come in the lands the Woke have worked so long to destroy. Instead, it will come in the non-Western countries that have followed the lead and ideas of the Wokists and so have prepared themselves for self-destruction. --Among Dr. Dutton's Books (available at Amazon) are: --Woke Eugenics: How Social Justice is a Mask for Social Darwinism (2024), by Edward Dutton and J. O. A. Rayner-Hilles --The Past is a Future Country: The Coming Conservative Demographic Revolution (2022), By Edward Dutton. --At Our Wits' End: Why We're Becoming Less Intelligent and What It Means for the Future (2018), By Edward Dutton and Michael A.

Today, The Two Mikes spoke with Professor Michael Busler. Dr. Busler teaches at Stockton University in New Jersey. While Trump is not yet inaugurated, Dr. Busler said that, from an economic perspective, he is “extraordinarily optimistic for the economy going forward. Dr.Busler said that Trump has correctly targeted energy as a starting point for driving down prices and easing the budget problems of both businesses and consumers. On the business side, energy prices are directly responsible for 8-percent of the GDP, and indirectly contribute 30-percent. Trump, Dr. Busler said, demonstrated he can get the U.S. government out of the way of private enterprise and that his first-term policies provided “opportunities for all”, and ended his term with a national inflation rate of 1.4-percent. Professor Busler noted that the new Trump administration does face an economic challenge in the refusal of the Federal Reserve chief, Jerome Powell, a person, who over his tenure at the FED, made four serious and economy disrupting errors that insured the decline of the economy and also acted against its recovery. There is no easy answer as Powell and the FED are independent of the three branches of the federal government. The answer to the problem, of course, is to get rid of the Fed altogether – which has periodically savaged the U.S. economy since its creation by a congressional law. The Congress can pass a new law that eliminates the law of 1913 which created the FED. Afterward the administration of the U.S. economy would be handed the U.S. Treasury, where it always should have been. Dr. Busler, however, said that it would not be easy to get the Congress to pass a repeal of the 1913 law, as the FED has built its own sector of powerful supporters and lobbyists. Finally, Dr. Basler reminded Americans that the Biden Administration's electrical-vehicle mandates and subsidies have nearly killed the U.S. industry. It is only the U.S. federal government that would provide enormous subsidies and illegal mandates to try to force the Americans to purchase cars that Americans do not want and cannot afford. Regarding the new Trump Administration. He said he expects to see a revival of the four concepts that made the American economy the envy of the world: (a) individual freedom; (b) individual responsibility; (c) low rates of taxation; and (d) limited government that stays out of the way of private investment and other economic activities.

Today, the Two Mikes and our producer Fadi spoke about the road we have traveled together to reach our 500th podcast. We reminisced a bit about the past, but mostly discussed how lucky we have been able to speak with so many really good and smart guests, men and women who taught both us and our listeners a lot about how the world really works when you talk to genuinely knowledgeable Americans and Foreigners who love the United States and understand the beauty and worth of the U.S. Constitution. We have gone toe-to-toe with a couple of our guests on some issues, but only one has ever refused to return. Almost needless to say we talked to that fellow about the events of January 6th, about which he knows a great deal, and we asked him to come back again, a request to which he agreed, but he never answered another of our emails. This fellow – who advertises himself as “Proud Jew” -- must have gotten a call from the ADL or AIPAC ordering him to stop speaking with the two old guys who -- unlike most recent presidents -- believe America is overwhelmingly more important than Israel. You can take it to the bank, that over our 500 podcasts we have encountered a goodly number of this guy's brethren who will damn and condemn us but will not agree to discuss their gripes on a podcast. Anyway, the three of us want to thank all of our listeners for their support and comments, all of our sponsors who have made us rich – that's not true of course – and the Lord for letting two young - older men persevere through scores of shows and be blessed with great guests and marvelous listeners. Merry Christmas to all you, and may God protect all of you.

Today, the Two Mikes spoke for the first time with the well-known and much-respected Middle East journalist Ghadi Francis. Ms. Francis is Lebanese and attended school in southern Lebanon, the area in which Hezbollah is largely based. She said that the West always deceitfully speaks of Hezbollah as a foreign entity in Lebanon., a sort of occupying power. It is not, she explained. Hezbollah is native to Lebanon, and is both a political party and a military organization that defends Lebanon. Asked if she expected, at long last, that the nearby Arab tyrants would assist Hezbollah and Hamas in their attempt to finish off Israel, Ms. Francis said she did not, as they have no record of being “helpful to the Palestinians” and are clearly only interested in protecting their rule and the support of the United States government. (Ms. Francis certainly is correct about that.) Asked if she saw any chance of lasting peace if the current war with Israel is halted by a ceasefire brokered by the United States and Britain. She inferred that would only happen if Netanyahu approved, and he would only concur if such a deal would allow Israel to continue its now more than 75-year-old program of aggression, which is based on its lust to “harass and dehumanize Palestinians” as well as the theft of land belonging to Palestinians. On the economic situation in the region, Ms. Francis said that the situation is poor for working people as the cost of most things is increasing and that food is in short supply. Wheat in particular is scarce and probably will remain that way until the war in Ukraine ends and agricultural activities there get back on track and produce wheat that can be exported.

Today, the Two Mikes interviewed Mr. Ken O'Keefe, who is retired a Marine and has long been involved in campaigns against the U.S. Government's unending parade of interventionist wars in which no genuine national security interest is at risk. In our talk, Mr. O'Keefe was especially focused on the insanity of America supporting Israel's current murderous war against Palestine its intention to seizure their remaining territory, and its effort to complete longstanding plans for a “Greater Israel”. Mr. O'Keefe noted that, in general terms, U.S. interventionist wars have changed the values of Americans by hardening their attitudes toward tolerating unnecessary and unending wars, and making them nearly forget the hard fact that modern wars – including those of the United States – always kill far more civilians than it does the supposed military enemy. In Israel's wars, this is especially true because its definition of victory is territorial expansion by stealing the land of the Palestinians and killing of as many of them is possible. Since 1948, U.S. presidents and the members of both houses of Congress have knowingly accepted Israel's bloody modus operandi and assisted its accomplishment with enormous amounts of taxpayer money and endless supplies of the best U.S.-made arms. By waging these kinds of war, the U.S. Government also has wasted the lives of thousands of Americans soldiers and Marines, and have crippled many more. These wars also have troubled the minds of some our military personnel and the Veterans Administration has been consistently derelict in supplying adequate services to America's veterans. Indeed, 22 veterans are committing suicide every day.

Today, The Two Mikes interviewed Mr. Harry Elliff, an American expatriate now living in Southeast Asia. Mr. Elliff is a U.S. military veteran. He was badly wounded in Iraq and left the military. Now an expat, Mr. Elliff converted to Islam and is now married. He has a rather somber view of the future of the United States; indeed, he believes the republic is in its death throes. As a cause, Mr. Elliff focuses on our many unnecessary and always-lost wars, and that is a hard assertion to argue against. Mr. Elliff also presented some interesting views about America's problems from the perspective of an American living abroad.

A Man Before His Time: Ron Paul Today, The Two Mikes were extremely fortunate to have the chance to speak with Dr. Ron Paul about the importance of maintaining liberty in America, and the increasingly desperate need to base U.S. foreign policy on non-intervention.

Today, The Two Mikes had the pleasure of talking with Tom DiLorenzo, who is now President of the Mises Institute for Austrian Economics (https://mises.org/) in Auburn, Alabama. The The institute is named after Ludwig van Mises, who was one of the most notable economists and social philosophers of the 20th Century. Before becoming the president of the Institute, Dr. DiLorenzo was a longtime university professor in the field of economics. He has written several books on economics and three outstanding, persuasive, and marvelously controversial, Revisionist Histories of Abraham Lincoln: The Real Lincoln: A New Look at Abraham Lincoln, His Agenda, and an Unnecessary War; Lincoln Unmasked: What You're Not Supposed to Know About Dishonest Abe; and The Problem with Lincoln. Dr. DiLorenzo is a determined opponent of the over-sized and power-grabbing nature of the federal government, and especially of its non-stop and detrimental interference of the U.S. government in the American society. In essence, Dr. DiLorenzo explained the U.S. government, in 1913, turned over sole control of the U.S. economy and currency to the “independent” Federal Reserve System (The FED), and since then it – and neither the elected members of the Congress or the U.S. Treasury – has exercised that control, much to the republic's detriment.

Today, The Two Mikes spoke with Luis Quinonez, who is a U.S. military veteran and is now serving as President Trump's Latino Outreach Adviser. Each of the issues we covered in today's program are worth a close and complete listen from any American who is eager to protect our republic and the American dream. Among the topics we discussed were: (a) The complete incompetence of Kamala Harris and the many lethal threats she and her party would pose to America if she becomes president; (b) The utter disgrace presented by DHS Secretary Mayorkas in failing to provide quick and effective relief to the families who lost loved ones, homes, farms, and virtually all they owned to Hurricane Helene. Making the DHS failure worse – and making it look like the federal government's intention was to ensure as many Americans as possible died – is the reporting that now indicates that DHS's claim to have no money to help the hurricane victims was a lie and that up to $7 billion dollars was available for use in emergency rescue operation in the southeastern states; (c) The self-defeating nature of those groups of American Christians who now say they won't vote for Trump because of his wife's view of abortion. Both of the Mikes are resolutely opposed to abortion – which has murdered more than 62 million Americans – but to not vote in this election because of something Mrs. Trump wrote is madness. If Trump is not elected, abortions will increase, perhaps greatly; the repression of the Christian faith will increase, as it has under every administration since Clinton's, with the exception of Trump's first term. For Christians, voting against Trump or sitting out the election means two sure things. If Trump is defeated, there will be more federal-government war against Christianity, and the American republic will be replaced in full by a godless and murderous tyranny.

Today on the Two Mikes, Colonel Mike and Dr. Mike spoke with a fine young Middle East reporter, who goes by the aka “Syrian Girl”, who has been reporting on the regions since she first began covering the U.S-caused civil war in Syria. The bulk of our conversations focused on the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, and what appears to be the unique situation that the Arab World faces in regard to the war. Generally, in these periodic Israel-Palestine wars, a cease-fire is agreed on by the two parties just as soon as Israel has won what they wanted when the war started. So far in the current war, however, there has been no cease-fire, and in this war Israel has been subjected to a drubbing the likes of which it has not have previously experienced. With Hamas now fighting alongside Hezbollah, the Lebanese army, the Houthis, Iran, and volunteer Islamist insurgents from Iraq and elsewhere against Israel, the latter is looking increasingly damaged as a nation state. We all thought this situation looks like the Arabs' first opportunity to decide how the war ends. As always, the ball is in the court of the major Arab and Muslim governments – Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf states, Turkey, etc. -- all of whom are now armed to the teeth by the United States, China, and Russia. Will the Arab states take up the task of acting with those who are now acting in a way that is pushing forward their longtime goal of ending what they see as Israel's threat to Muslims? Given those states' long-term avoidance of taking a risk in the Palestine-Israel struggle, the odds seem to be likely that those Muslim states will again side with their own power and safety and not with the region's people have long sought.

Two Mikes - The United States of Warlords with Murray Sabrin by

Today, The Two Mikes welcomed back Chad Stewart, the author of the Britfield series of novels -- and soon movies -- for middle-schoolers. Mr. Stewart reported that the fourth book in his series -- titled Britfield and the Eastern Empire -- will be published in 2025, just as the lead characters -- Tom and Sarah -- reach age 15 and are learning the pros and cons of modernity as they are found in such things as AI and digital currencies. The first installment of seven Britfield movies also is scheduled to go into pre-production in November, 2026. Mr. Stewart noted that the movie will be set in the Christmas season. Mr. Stewart also said that the first three books in the series continue to do very well, and began to be published in Britain in June 2024.

Today, The Two Mikes spoke to historical expert A.J. Sanchez, whose field of study is the so-called ten lost tribes of Israel, which, as it turns out, are quite far from lost. Mr. Sanchez explained that one of the great problems with contemporary historical research is that the universities have deliberately created faculties that are poisoned by wokeism and a talent for durable deceit whenever the issue is about God and religion. Mr. Sanchez noted that, on average, most universities in the West have a ratio of 12 liberal/atheist professors for every 1 conservative professor. Further, in a large number of university-taught fields, the reality is that 100 percent of professors are liberal/atheists. It is only when you look at the engineering disciplines that there is a stronger percentage of conservatives, who, of course, are not writers of history. Even if they were, most Western publishers have little or no interest in publishing books dealing with religion and God, which are important issues of historical issues. Between the universities and major Western publishers, the historical data about this issue has remained well and truly buried.

Today, the Two Mikes again spoke with Joe Lombardi, the Founder and Managing Partner of Iron Hawk Financial about the current state of the U.S. economy. As all of us know, Mr. Lombardi said, things are not good economically, and he said that over the next six-to-twelve months we are all going to feel even more pain. The Congress's egregious and absurd over-spending has put America in debt to the sum of $35 trillion dollars, and in terms of unfunded liabilities Americans' face another $218 trillion. Mr. Lombardi also suggested that people refrain from viewing view Bitcoin as being “too big to fail” because it is not, it was created by the U.S. Government and the CIA and those entities will also decide how long it lasts. And there seems no limit to the fiscal irresponsibility of the both parties in Congress. In addition, he noted that car repossessions are also up about 300-percent over the past year.

Today, on The Two Mikes, we spoke with Kim Brooks, who is a trained engineer and, for the past three years, the leader of a group called the “Georgia Nerds” (Twitter Handle: @georgianerds_real) This group has relentlessly pursued what increasingly appears to be the fairly complete bipartisan corruption of the Georgia's electoral system. The Nerds have spent three years examining the files of Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger's office for the years 2020, 2022, and 2024. Ms. Brooks spoke to us just after she participated in a press conference in which she and other of the Nerds called on Republican Georgia Governor Brian Kemp to call a special session of the Georgia legislature and issue an order that only paper ballots be used in this November's national election. The call for Kemp to do so was buttressed by a long sampling of the corruption found in the files of the state's Secretary of State. During this press conference, Ms. Brooks and the Nerds focused on Republican corruption, but noted that the Democrats' electoral corruption is just as bad, and there also are corrupt operations that are cooperatively executed by the two parties.

Today, The Two Mikes welcomed the return of Twila Brase, a distinguished, longtime professional nurse and one of the county's most articulate champions of returning control of medical care to the citizens of America. Ms. Brase said that all Americans are coming close to the dead-end for the country's current medical system; the Medicare Trust Fund, just as the Social Security Trust Fund, is non-existent. This fact is made worse because the number of people working in the United States is decreasing as the last of the massive postwar “baby- boomer generation retires”. As night follows day, fewer workers means less payroll taxes, leaving the government with a choice between higher taxes or more frequent denial of treatment. The politicians probably will do both. The national government is now paying for both programs directly from the payroll-tax funds paid by workers Ms. Brase said that in 2022 the federal government's Medicare plans confronted the reality that the cost of the plans was $55 billion dollars more than the funds that came in from the payroll taxes paid by American workers. Recent estimates show that by 2036 the entire national medical system will go “belly- up”. For that reason, the national government's socialist medical system already has increased the ability of the federal bureaucracy, the medical profession, and medical insurers to deny access to treatment, a money saver and death sentence for those who are denied. Ms. Brase said that it is critical that all Americans must accept the fact that “freedom from Medicare is needed if they are ever again to have freedom of medical choice.” Ms. Brase closed by saying that she also is helping to push legislation that calls for the end to all DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) initiatives in medical schools, rightly identifying those initiatives as bringing both the death-kneel of competence, while also encouraging those being trained as doctors to discriminate between sexes and racial groups in their provision of medical services.

Two Mikes - How to Become a Constitutional Sheriff with Sheriff Mack by

Today, the Two Mikes welcomed back Geoff Shepard, who is a distinguished lawyer and, a half-century ago, was the youngest lawyer working in President Nixon's White House. In that position, he had a birds-eye view of the then unfolding “Water Gate” issue, which was capped with Nixon's resignation on 8 August 1974. Recently, Mr. Shepard has been part of a team which has produced a new documentary that is primarily based on the three books about Nixon's fall that Mr. Shepard has written, each of which is based on the government papers, personal diaries, and court documents that he discovered via research and FOIA requests – most of which have not previously seen the light of day.

Today, The Two Mikes had the pleasure of talking to the author James Perloff about his new book, Exploding the Official Myths of the Lincoln Administration. Mr. Perloff's book is startlingly well documented and raises the distinct possibility that senior officials in Lincoln's government – including the Secretary of War Edward Stanton – were involved in planning the operation and letting John Wilkes Booth escape after the attack on Lincoln. Why was this murderous operation undertaken? Because the Radical Republicans in Congress wanted no part of Lincoln's plans to let the South up easy after the war, and resume its role in the union and in the U.S. government. The Radical Republicans wanted to squeeze what was left of the southern economy and draw off whatever riches could be had after the war's end. The also intended to militarily occupy the south and then rule it by the sword. Ultimately, the scourge of military occupation in the south lasted from 18165 until 1877.

Today, The Two Mikes again welcomed back Gordon Oliver, who is with the non-profit organization Cambridge Credit Management, which was founded in 1996. Mr. Oliver said that much of the economy is still in a bad way, and the indications are that the republic's economy may well get worse. He noted, to for example, that homeowners with adjustable mortgages have seen their interest rates rise from 4.4-percent to 7.5-percent. Americans with school-loan debts to pay are also facing a situation where they will have to face the future alone as Biden is focused on getting help government employees working in all governmental levels – states, municipalities, cities, and the civil service. The largest percentage of the individuals in those categories are, not surprisingly, reliable Democratic voters. Mr. Oliver added that the future economic outlook is unpredictable, as is obvious in the fact food prices continue to increase even as the administration says inflation is moderating. The first step for consumers, Mr. Oliver said, is to get a handle on your monthly expenses by making a list of the expenses that you must pay every month, mortgage, rent, or other contractual debts, groceries, utilities, child- care, gasoline, insurance payments, etc. and see how much you are committed to monthly and see if one or more category can be reduced. This is an important and sometimes complicated process but Mr. Oliver's organization offers free – yes, free -- assistance for people who are ready to prepare a budget that will help them get through what appears to be the tough economic road that lies ahead.

Today, The Two Mikes spoke with Nate Cain, a true Republican candidate for Congress from West Virginia's 2nd congressional district. The interview turned out to be a humdinger and a bit lengthy, so we are publishing in two parts. Mr. Cain is an Army veteran, and also has been a civilian employee of the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Marine Corps, and the FBI. While working for the FBI, Mr. Cain became one of the most important whistle-blowers we have ever heard of. During his FBI tenure 2017-2018, Nate saw FBI documents that showed that then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, her associates in Obama's regime – at the highest levels, such as two FBI Directors and other senior DOJ officials, and major Clinton donors – had behaved treasonously, and otherwise criminally via money-laundering, “pay-to-play”, and illegal transfers of uranium to Russia. Mr. Cain took the documents to Congressman Devin Nunes and received whistle-blower protection under the law, but the FBI fired him and raided his home, taking his electronic devices and deeply upsetting his wife and children. Giving enormous credence to Mr. Cain's claims about the nature of the information he delivered to Nunes is that fact that he still holds his security clearances, showing that he acted legally and truthfully by getting the documents to Congress, and that the FBI, DOJ, the Clintons and the Obamas knew that and feared if the issue was not buried “it could bring down the whole government.”

Today on The Two Mikes we spoke again with Chad Stewart who is the author of the Britfield Novels for young people. Three have been published, with four more to come. There also will be seven movies, each of which will cover the story told in a specific volume. The first script is on the brink of completion. Mr. Stewart aims for a wide readership among middle-schoolers, and to date his novels have been received a great reception from those youngsters, as well as from their teachers and parents in the United States. The novels focus on two young best friends, Tom and Sarah, both orphans. Both are twelve-years old in the first book, and, of course, they will gain one year of age in each subsequent book in the series. The novels follow Tom and Sarah after their escape from an oppressive orphanage and demonstrate how they learn the skills of self-reliance in threatening situations, as well as to learn the power and comfort to be found in friendship, family, loyalty, and courage.

Today, The Two Mikes welcomed Dr. Anne Bradley to our podcast to speak about a man named Hugh Whelchel, who has passed away. Dr. Bradley worked with Mr. Whelchel at the Institute for Faith, Work, and Economics in Northern Virginia. Dr. Bradley remembers Mr. Whelchel as a friend who had the unique ability to teach the theology of life, work and family; indeed, he was a man who could "bring theology to life for Christians." He spoke clearly and with a passion, Dr. Bradley explained, and "it made people want to take the time to speak more with him." Mr. Whelchel was never in a rush, and spent time answering questions as long as people had questions to ask. He told his audiences to always recall that God created each person not only in His image and likeness, but also created each person "to be something that only you can be." Mr. Whelchel, Dr. Bradley said, can truly be described as a "magnanimous" human being, who had a deep knowledge of scripture, genuine humbleness, and great skill at getting diverse groups of people to sit around the table and work through problems, ideas, and aspirations.

Two Mikes - Defeating The Great Reset with Kevin Freeman by

Today, The Two Mikes spoke with two senior officials -- Warner Mendenhall and Kathryn Huwig -- of an organization named "Freedom Counsel" (https://www.Freedom Counsel.org). The organization's aim is to seek restitution for those who were damaged by the Federal Government's multitude of unconstitutional actions and orders during the Covid Pandemic. The organization's core group is composed of about 200 lawyers, as well as medical experts, researchers, scientists, and witnesses who experienced the many ravages of the government's illegal actions including the families of those who died or were maimed by the vaccinations, those who died because treatment for their serious pre-Covid diseases were either refused treatment of their treatments was fatally delayed because "Covid came first", and those families who lost their businesses because of the lock-downs. Indeed, almost all Americans suffered in one way or another, and the only really big beneficiaries of the Covid years were the banks, the public school systems who took payoffs from the government so long as they taught what the government wanted taught, and the hospitals that allowed people to die, or even caused their to death, in order to get whatever the government was paying as a bounty for each death that could be added truthfully or dishonestly to the tally of Covid deaths.

Two Mikes - Darkness is Coming with Joe Lombardi by

Today, The Two Mikes spoke with Dan McMillan who is the Executive Director of Save Democracy in America (https://savedemocracyinamerica.com). He holds doctoral degrees in law and history. Dr. Mcmillan argues that the biggest problem Americans' face today is the amount of money in the political system, claiming that "campaign finance is a far bigger problem than almost anyone seems to think." That the system is awash with money is obvious, but the disastrous downside of that flood is less apparent. Once elected, members of both houses of Congress are effectively the employees of their donors and not of the citizens who pay their salaries, which can be easily seen by them as paltry when compared to their donations.

Today, The Two Mikes spoke with Melissa Witte (@villagecrazylady) who studies and writes about campaign financing in the United States. Ms. Witte said that Political Action Committees (PACs) are an amazingly effective means of building personal fortunes. How so? Well, when a politician starts a PAC he tends to raise more money than he needs and, under the legislation which legalized PACs, the politician keeps the money that was raised but not spent. As an example, Ms. Witte said that in his 2022 re-election campaign North Carolina Senator Tim Scott raised $52 million for his campaign and spent $38 million of that total. His Democratic rival raised $200 million and spent %150 million in the campaign. Under the pertinent legislation, neither Senator Scott nor his rival need have any qualms about keeping their excess campaign funds. Ms. Witte argued that at least 80-percent of the Congress and Senate are building fortunes via this excess campaign funding. Ms. Witte explained much more about what was found in her studies and it is riveting to listen to her speak. We hope she will come back and speak to us after the 2024 national election.

Today, The Two Mikes spoke with conservative podcaster Vincent James. Mr. James spoke with some emphasis about Israel, and its interference in U.S. domestic affairs either via their intelligence services or via its surrogate organizations in the United States – especially the odious ADL, AIPAC, and the Southern Poverty Law Center – as well as the thorough-going corruption of various U.S. institutions, especially both Houses of the U.S. Congress. Israel's U.S. controlled assets in the U.S. Congress and law-makers at the state level to deny government contracts to any citizen or company who urges divesting in the Israeli economy. At least 37 states now have such Israel-First laws. Mr. James also spoke about the ongoing population replacement campaign being conducted by the Biden Administration, the Democratic Party, the media and by both houses of Congress. From a global view, Mr. James pointed out that the now ongoing clash of civilizations is not recognized by enough Americans.

Today, The Two Mikes spoke with Ms. Tricia Jackson who is running for the position of State Auditor in West Virginia. Ms. Jackson graduated with a Bachelor's degree from Liberty University in business administration with a concentration in Project Management. She also holds two HR certifications as a Professional in Human Resources. In her career, Ms. Jackson has been a mother, small business owner and, since 2020, has served as County Commissioner in Jefferson County, the county in which she was born. Like the other candidates for state office in West Virginia, Ms. Jackson has been crisscrossing the state by car to meet and speak to as many people as possible before the primary election on 14 May 2022. There is, for The Two Mikes, something refreshing about not seeing candidates flying around in private jets and being more interested in speaking with the media and big donors rather than with the voters. And Ms. Jackson has a good story to tell as she describes one of the state's problems; namely, that money that is appropriated in the state budget does not always get spent on the project or program for which it was intended.

Today, The Two Mikes spoke with Roy Ramey who is running in the race to become the Commissioner of Agriculture in the West Virginia's Department of Agriculture. Mr. Ramey is a Christian, a family man, a reliable defender of the U.S. Constitution, a food freedom advocate, and a combat-experienced/decorated Lt. Colonel (ret'd) in the U.S. Army. Mr. Ramey is himself a small farmer, and believes that agriculture is key to not only the state's economic vitality but to the future food security for all West Virginia's 1.7 million citizens. The goal of "food security", Mr. Ramey said, is a major reason why he is running for the post of Commissioner of Agriculture, especially because West Virginia has lost 1,112 farms since 2017. Mr. Ramey also said that he would resolutely oppose those who are seeking to vaccinate cattle with MRNA and want to attach electric tags into the ears of farm animals.

Two Mikes - John Podesta's Trojan Horse with Nate Cain by

Today, the Two Mikes were again fortunate to speak with Bishop Robert E. Smith Jr. from Little Rock, Arkansas. Bishop Smith said that there was no way else to describe the world's problems, except by saying that, at the moment, Satan is the king of the world. He can be beaten, and the recipe for victory is easily available to all people; namely, it is in the Bible and in both testaments. The starting point in this fight, according to the Bishop, is the formation of local communities that can provide immunity against the depredations of the satanic federal and state governments. Strong local communities willing to keep schools and churches open when the politicians order them closed; insisting on going to work when ordered to stay at home because of falsified health reasons, refusing to obey mandates and other directions from governments that people be inoculated with shots known to be murder weapons, and most of all to build local communities into citadels for faith and trust in God, and pray relentlessly.

Today, The Two Mikes recorded an episode that seems, at long last, to explain how the 2020 and 2022 elections were stolen without any of the sophisticated electronic tools, computer systems, and other esoteric means that have been talked about on our show and many others since 2020. Our guest today, Michele Swinick, who has worked as an election-day official in Arizona elections in Maricopa County, explains in clear and commonsense terms how the Maricopa elections were stolen by cooperation among Democrats, Republicans, and civil servants by the simple means of (a) not obeying the election laws of the state, its counties, and other localities, and (b) the collusion of all players in both parties working toward the same illegal end. That's it, no whizbang methods, always-wrong experts, or space-age tools, just simple, easily provable, and well-documented illegalities. There also is no need or reason for circus-like, big-name shows criss-crossing the country to explain the "maze of cheating" that supposedly occurred during the elections -- for just the cost of admission, of course. The Two Mikes have done quite a few shows on the issue, but this show with Ms. Swinick and two previous show with Joe Freid -- makes the most sense and is backed up fully by the state's own election and post-election documents. Ms. Swinick's rattlingly good presentation and concise factual statements show that "none of us have a country so long as the uniparty is in control", a conclusion that seems all too accurate. She adds, moreover, that items from Arizona's menu of cheating methods are used by other states in order to arrange elections that keep the uniparty in power. @EverythingHomeT

Today, The Two Mikes had the good fortune to speak with Mike King, who runs and writes from a site called "Real News and History" (https://realnewsandhistory.com). Mr. King is known as a "correctionist historian" and has the courage and talent to take on the lies that have for decades taken the place of truth in the writing of both popular and academic history. Mr. King said that one highly important fact that all Americans should remember is that when almost any historian or politician speaks in public and starts by explaining that he is going to talk about an issue that is "extremely complex", the listener can be sure that the speaker is going to turn a relatively simple issue into an issue that is impossible for ordinary Americans to understand. Making a simple issue "extremely complex" is meant to make Americans uninformed, fearful, and line up with their traditional loyalty and patriotism to support the deceitful academics and politicians they have been trained in school to respect.

Today, The Two Mikes spoke with the host of the "Leather Apron Club", which is on Youtube. The program is startlingly frank and well-researched, and its host is an articulate and erudite young man. He takes on and researches issues that are "sensitive" in today's America, and his discoveries will confound those -- especially on the left -- who believe they are the smartest people ever born, that they have the final answer on all questions, and who claim that those who disagree are misinformers and subversives, leaving no necessity for further investigation or debate. LAC's programs, for example, document that some research of today's major online talk shows the preponderance of the interviewed guests are Jewish, and thereby provide another avenue to spread their already excessive influence in the public square.

Today, The Two Mikes talked with Nicole McCaw, a journalist and documentary-maker, who is focused on the unfolding, federal-government orchestrated disaster that is occurring along America's southern border. Ms. McCaw explained that her investigations have shown that 60-percent to 80-percent of the many thousands of women and children who are being trafficked across the southern border have been raped -- many repeatedly -- or otherwise molested. Almost 16.5 million illegal aliens have been allowed into America since 2021, Ms. McCaw said.

Today, The Two Mikes spoke with Tom deSabla, a good friend of our show, dyed-in-the wool Libertarian and a fine economist. The subject of the collapse of the Baltimore Bridge was fresh on the news and Mr. deSabla noted that, in one way or another, the federal government will screw up the reconstruction of the bridge. Well, lo and behold, several congressman have said -- this after Biden pledged that his government would cover all the costs (probably minus what it skims of the top -- that while they have plenty of money for all the Democrat's policies and plans aimed at destroying America, there may not be enough money for the bridge, which, if true, would all but kill the port of Baltimore and quickly erode the already fading economic activity in the eastern United States.

Two Mikes - Navigating a Tough Economy with Gordon Oliver by

Fred Coulter Presents: The Stranger That is Within Thee Today, The Two Mikes spoke with Fred Coulter, the pastor of the Christian Biblical Church of Christ in Hollister, California. As Christians are marking Holy Week, Mr. Coulter threw a bracing bucket of cold water on the increasingly severe mistakes that Christians are taught throughout their lives, and by which they live their lives, while passing on inaccurate beliefs to their children. We spoke to Mr. Coulter for over an hour and there follows a summary of the several points he made. --Christians of the Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox faiths follow a version of Easter that was never observed by the Apostles. As on many other issues this world lives on the basis of lies. --Easter and Holy Week are not to be found in the Bible in the way we now celebrate them. As Ezekiel says in Chapter 8, God cannot be worshiped with lies and pagan theology.

Today, the Two Mikes spoke with Mr. Barry Moore, a good and valued friend of our podcast, and earlier of our efforts on the radio. Currently, Mr. Moore is the President and CEO of the Better Business Bureau of Central Virginia, (BBB, https://www.bbb.org). Mr. Moore noted that the BBB was founded in 1912, and from that time till this the Bureau has not received a cent of support from any government. All of its money come from the business and citizens who contribute to support the BBB's work.

Today, The Two Mikes spoke with Nate Cain, a true Republican candidate for Congress from West Virginia's 2nd congressional district.

Today, The Two Mikes spoke with Alexander Rossino, who holds a PH.D in history from Syracuse University, and is the author of Their Maryland: The Army of Northern Virginia from the Potomac Crossing to Sharpsburg in September 1862. Dr. Rossino's book seeks to supply answers to a number of questions that still surround the whys and wherefores of the Sharpsburg/Antietam Battle. One of these questions is why did General Lee take his army into Maryland? One traditionally offered reason still stands true, Lee wanted to take the war out of Virginia to allow the state's farmers to harvest their crops. More important, though, Lee's decision for Maryland focused on a major political aspect of the war, expanding the Confederacy.
