On this explosive episode of Two Mikes, Dr. Ron Paul joins Dr. Michael Scheuer and Col. Mike to expose how the federal government has hijacked the Constitution, plunged America into endless wars, destroyed states' rights, and driven the nation to the brink with debt and tyranny. From Lincoln to Biden, Paul lays out the decades-long betrayal of liberty, the sham of perpetual war, and the deep state's war on the Second Amendment. This is a warning every American needs to hear.Follow Maverick Broadcasting Network on Pickax to catch the full lineup of shows and breaking news: https://pickax.com/maverickbroadcasting Protect your financial future with precious metals!

Today, the Two Mikes welcome back Sheriff Richard Mack—America's most fearless Constitutional Sheriff. Sheriff Mack breaks down why law enforcement has become a political weapon, and how the real solution is found in the forgotten truths of the U.S. Constitution. Mack explains how training academies deliberately neglect the Constitution, pushing case law over God-given rights. He also exposes the lie of “defending democracy” and reminds us that we are a Republic—not a democracy spiraling into tyranny.Sheriff Mack recounts his historic Supreme Court victory in Mack-Prinz v. United States—a 10th Amendment triumph authored by Justice Scalia—and how it reinforces the sheriff's duty to protect the people, not enforce the elites' agenda. From the traffic law money racket to the globalist push for authoritarian control under the guise of democracy, this episode is a masterclass in American liberty.Want to stand with real lawmen who still believe in the Founders' vision?

In this bombshell episode of Two Mikes, Dr. Michael Scheuer and Col. Mike sit down with Keith Rodgers and Jim Fetzer to tear the lid off the deep state's decades-long cover-ups—from JFK and RFK to Epstein and MLK. With surgical precision, they expose how federal agencies have brazenly defied President Trump's direct orders to release critical assassination files, protecting not just shadowy domestic actors but potentially shielding foreign interests—especially Israel. As layers of lies unravel, a disturbing pattern emerges: the same intelligence networks, the same traitors in D.C., and the same global players pulling the strings. This episode pulls no punches and asks the forbidden questions the regime doesn't want answered.Follow Maverick Broadcasting Network on Pickax to catch the full lineup of shows and breaking news:Protect your financial future with precious metals!

Today, the Two Mikes spoke with Mr. Maxime Bernier. Mr. Bernier is a French Canadian from Quebec and the leader of the populist People's Party of Canada (PPC). Under Mr. Bernier the PPC is seeking to give Canadians a choice that has not been made available for decades from either the incumbent Liberal Party or the Conservative Party, the later which is nearly as globalist and anti-populist as the former. Mr. Bernier knows the last point first hand as in the past he was an elected a Conservative member of Parliament and a cabinet then minister but soon found out the party had no use for his populist ideas. Mr. Bernier's policy proposals include controlling immigration which currently is almost out of control in Canada via a moratorium. About 97/% of the country's population growth is coming from that immigration, and it also is bringing “internal conflict to Canada's streets”. He also aims to encourage and work for the return of commonsense and individual responsibility to the country's government and to Canadians generally, as well as to return to Canadians the individual freedoms that have been taken from them over the long tenure Trudeau's tyrannical and Soros UN, and WEF loving party.
As in the United States, Mr. Bernier – like Mr. Trump in the U.S. – has been cancelled by the national media, and especially by the Canadian Broadcasting Company. The components of mainstream media in Canada annually receives $2 billion from the taxpayers and uses it to protect the regimes interest, no the interests of working Canadians. As a result, Mr. Bernier has been crisscrossing Canada – we spoke to him while he was in Vancouver – in an effort to educate Canadians about himself, the PPC, and what both stand for and what they intend to achieve when in government. In sum, Mr. Bernier said that there is much to be done in Canada to revitalize the faltering economy and avoiding a tariff war with the United States, to restore civil liberties and keep national government within its constitutional bounds, to reestablish a cohesive society, and to make sure that that their government and lives are being run by accountable Canadians and not by the favorite boot-lickers of overseas globalist organizations. More information about Mr. Bernier, his party and the approaching Canadian election on April 28 the 2025 see https://www.peoplespartyofcanada.ca and, at X, @maximebernier

Today, on the Two Mikes, Colonel Mike and Dr. Mike welcomed back Jeff Dornik who is now the chief of a new Network called “Maverick”, which he transitioned into from his former network, Freedom First. The new network will have 8 to 10 different shows on a weekly basis. He also has developed a new social media platform called PickAx. The system is now web-based but in two months an app will be available. He also is the host of the Jeff Dornik Show, which is a free speech and an America First program. Mr. Dornick also is spending an increased amount of his time cooperating with other people who are seeking to support the reforms of the national medical system that have been advocated by Robert F. Kennedy. The lunacy of continuing the status quo is underscored by the fact that the system is still urging poisonous covid shots for all Americans, and especially for children. Such a situation surely indicates Kennedy has his work cut out for him and that the those who run the federal medical bureaucracy are still intent on killing as many Americans as possible.We also spoke about Trump's plan for imposing on new and substantial tariffs on countries that his aides have proven to use high tariffs against American products and other tools – like the EU's Value added-taxes. Trump moved ahead with this reciprocal tariff plan, even though many economists – especially Libertarians -- are claiming that such tariffs are the road to economic disaster. While that may be, it is hard to disguise the damage that has been done to America's industrial and agricultural bases by foreign tariffs deliberately designed to do that damage. There also is the point that Trump successfully used tariffs during his first term and derived economic benefits for America therefrom. All tariff-based policies are, of course, going to cause some turmoil in an international system in which countries use their tariffs to damage the American economy, but only because those discriminatory tariffs were imposed against the United States. There is no knowing how Trump's tariffs will impact the U.S. economy, but only uniformed or under-experienced Americans can expect to rebuild their economy and workforces without some kind of accompanying pain.

On this explosive episode of Two Mikes, Dr. Michael Scheuer and Col. Mike welcome back the always insightful Colonel Richard Black (ret.). With his experience as a Marine fighter pilot, Pentagon lawyer, and Virginia State Senator, Black delivers a hard-hitting analysis of America's collapsing foreign and domestic policies. He breaks down Kash Patel's massive battle ahead as Attorney General, exposing the FBI's corruption and its war on American patriots. The Colonel also lays out the brutal reality of U.S. foreign policy—funding Islamist terrorists in Syria, backing ethnic cleansing in Gaza, and sinking $300 billion into Ukraine's losing war. He warns that the European Union is on the verge of collapse due to open borders, climate hoaxes, and economic suicide. And in Virginia, DEI-driven politics remain a major obstacle for Republicans. A must-listen episode for those who want the raw, unfiltered truth.Follow Maverick Broadcasting Network on Pickax to catch the full lineup of shows and breaking news: https://pickax.com/maverickbroadcastingProtect your financial future with precious metals!

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

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

Maxey discusses the troubling lack of action from officials who received the hard drive and shifts the conversation to Trump's early actions in his second term—especially on border security. The hosts question why Trump is sending only 1,500 troops instead of full brigades to secure the border, while U.S. forces remain entangled in foreign wars that serve no American interest. They also dissect Netanyahu's precarious position, the instability in Syria, and Trump's troubling tendency to align too closely with billionaire elites and pro-war policies.

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 pawnsToday, 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.

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.   You can read more from Dr. Busler: https://www.newsmax.com/finance/insiders/michaelbusler/id-629/Follow Two Mikes on Pickax: https://pickax.com/twomikesFollow Freedom First Network on Pickax at https://pickax.com/freedomfirstnetElevate your meals with Freedom First Beef… even if you find yourself in the middle of the apocalypse!

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.Follow Two Mikes on Pickax: https://pickax.com/twomikesFollow Freedom First Network on Pickax at https://pickax.com/freedomfirstnetElevate your meals with Freedom First Beef… even if you find yourself in the middle of the apocalypse!

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.Follow Two Mikes on Pickax: https://pickax.com/twomikesFollow Freedom First Network on Pickax at https://pickax.com/freedomfirstnetElevate your meals with Freedom First Beef… even if you find yourself in the middle of the apocalypse!

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.

On October 16, 2024, Tom DiLorenzo appeared on the Two Mikes podcast, with Dr. Michael Scheuer and Col Mike, to discuss the Federal Reserve.The original episode is available on the Freedom First Network.

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. Dr. Paul was as astonished as the Two Mikes at Secretary of Defense Austin officially directing members of the U.S. military to use lethal force against American citizens on American soil in “certain circumstances”. There are only two threats to the Biden Administration from its opponents among Americans and those come from its radical opposition to hearing the truth spoken – which Biden appears to believe is treason – and the coming presidential election. Neither provides any basis whatsoever for Austin's order, which is nothing less than an abomination. Dr. Paul also spoke of the necessity for conservatives to better verse themselves in the meaning of liberty. On two occasions since 1960 – the Democrats' counter-culturalism of the Vietnam era, and the war waged against American traditions, history, faith, and culture by the Democrats since the Clinton administration – the American population gradually grew to be fed up with the nonsense, depravity, power-hungriness, avarice, and criminality that was pushed in the name of “progressivism”. They elected Ronald Reagan to end the first demented era, and they now have the chance to elect Trump for a second (third?) time to end this depraved and war-mad second iteration of progressivism. Dr. Paul reminded us that the path for America's future laid out by American founders remains as pertinent, useful, and nation-saving as when they walked the earth. Government, the Founders knew, should remain close to the people, a place where citizens can watch its actions closely and keep them on the mark. They likewise taught the irrefutable reality that oversized and arrogant central government – built by taking away the constitutional powers of state and local governments -- always will spend beyond its means, wage unnecessary wars, bankrupt the nation, limit civil rights, and generally oppress those portions of the population it hates or speaks against it and reward enormously reward those who do its bidding. Americans need to get a much stronger grasp on and love for the foundations of the United States, for the men who built the republic, and relearn to love and work to protect their own homes and localities and make them happy, secure, liberty-prone, and prosperous. In closing, Dr. Paul noted that most of the Founders – even those who eventually went to university – started off their education at the hands of their parents and the books they owned. He described it as a sort of “home schooling on steroids.” In an era where homeschooling in America is quickly growing, those doing the arduous work of home-schooling may have found the way to slow and then ultimately end the growing and potentially fatal malignancies that now emanate from all levels of the nation's educational systems.

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, 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 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 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

Two Mikes - Darkness is Coming with Joe Lombardi by

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 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.

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.As the dollar crumbles and inflation skyrockets, Genesis Gold Group gives you the chance to protect your wealth with physical gold and silver.

Today, The Two Mikes welcomed back and spoke with the renowned economist and Libertarian, Murray Sabrin. 

He also is closely connected to the splendid Mises Institute, whose “Annual Summit” will be held in Hilton Head, North Carolina, on 10-12 October 2024. 

Not surprisingly, Professor Sabrin said the U.S. government is behaving and spending as if there is no one at the wheel. He said in less than a single term the Biden administration has added $11 billion to the national debt, and shows no sign of slowing that pace during the last month of its term. 

While it is true that the November, 2024, election is yet another case of Republicans-vs-Democrats, Mr. Sabrin argued that underlying that situation is a much more important contest, one that pits liberty against the horrors of tyrannical statist authoritarianism. 

On this score, we discussed Climate Tsar John Kerry's recent call for an end to the First Amendment, because free speech is making it “too hard to govern.” In reality, what Kerry came close to saying is that the “truth” so easily available in the alternative and social media makes it harder for governments to oppress their populations so as to pave the way for something worse than a 1984 tyranny.

We also briefly discussed the use of “Executive Orders” by the President (any president) and the Congressional delegation of its sole responsibility for declaring war to the president through the bills like “Authorization of the Use of Military Force”. The latter makes the president an uncontrollable warlord rather than the republic's chief magistrate. 

There clearly is nothing in the Constitution that authorizes either executive orders or a delegation by the Congress of its war powers to the president. 

The last point, of course, means that none of the wars America has fought since 1945 – big or small – have been constitutional. They all have been products of the will of a Warlord, and not that of the legitimate constitutional process. Follow Two Mikes on Pickax: https://pickax.com/twomikesFollow Freedom First Network on Pickax at https://pickax.com/freedomfirstnetElevate your meals with Freedom First Beef… even if you find yourself in the middle of the apocalypse!

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. In his own studies, Mr. Sanchez has found that there is a large amount of evidence regarding the ten lost tribes. Both in the Middle East and Europe, he found a great many pertinent sources such as manuscripts, books – most published before 1850 – and engraved stone tablets. The short version of the story, which has been suppressed since 1850 is that the ten tribes departed what was then the northern section of contemporary Israel, moved further into the Middle East and later, from there moved into Europe, particularly into Scotland, Ireland, France, and, to a lesser extent, Spain. 

Archives in these countries contain many documents and artifacts that are pertinent to identifying the stories and ultimate locations of the so-called ten lost tribes. In essence, there is strong evidence that the ten lost tribes were the peoples who are now known as Celtic and Gaelic. The ancient Greeks, for example, called the ten tribes Celts, and the ancient Romans called them Gauls. France of course was once called Gaul and spoke Gaelic. These people share languages that – while not identical – share large numbers of words, and also share words that are present in English and in German dialects. 

The bottom line is that the ten tribes do not seem to be lost. Indeed, the ancient Jewish historian Josephus appears to have been fully accurate when he said that those ten tribes did not disappear.  The Two Mikes closed this discussion with A.J. Sanchez at just short of 60 minutes. There is, however, much more to find out and discuss about the ten lost tribes and we will have him back on the podcast so he can speak more about his research.Follow Two Mikes on Pickax: https://pickax.com/twomikesFollow Freedom First Network on Pickax at https://pickax.com/freedomfirstnetElevate your meals with Freedom First Beef… even if you find yourself in the middle of the apocalypse!

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. 

The books also are being translated and published in Polish; the first volume is already in book shops. Other foreign publishers are planning to publish the books in additional languages.  Mr. Stewart said that the first three volumes of the series continue to sell well and are being used by teachers in an increasing number of schools -- now numbering in the thousands -- in the United States. Just as important, Mr. Stewart said that he continues to receive letters from parents explaining how much their middle-schoolers enjoy the books and how much they learn from them. 

Often, the parents also say how much they enjoyed the books. Mr. Stewart noted that he and his crew love hearing this kind of thing because the Britfield series is meant to provide a positive experience for children and families to help counteract many of the current books for youngsters which often feature negativity, poor conduct, and leave the child disconnected from reality, feeling less than what he or she is because of a lack of superpowers or some other non-existent attribute, and often poison young minds with cultism or other deranged ideas.      The websites for Mr. Stewart's Britfield projects are: https://www.britfield.com/ and https://www.britfieldinstitute.org/Follow Two Mikes on Pikcax: https://pickax.com/twomikesFollow Freedom First Network on Pickax at https://pickax.com/freedomfirstnetElevate your meals with Freedom First Beef… even if you find yourself in the middle of the apocalypse!

Today, the Two Mikes again spoke with Joe Lombardi, the Founder and Managing Partner ofIron 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. 

Faced with this kind of pending economic collapse, Mr. Lombardi suggested that citizens think about investing in mutual insurance companies as a means of protecting their money. He explained that, over the past 180 years, mutual insurance companies have come through all of the wars and economic downturns without having lost money. A person's investments in these insurance companies also are easily accessible and tax free. 

There are not a lot of options for the average person to protect their money, but this is one that is available to all Americans and ought to be considered. Mr. Lombardi concluded by offering to send PDF copies of his three books – all focused on helping people to protect and increase their money -- for free to those who send an e-mail asking for them. The Two Mikes look forward to Mr. Lombardi return to the show.

Today, The Two Mikes welcomed the return of Twila Brase, a distinguished, longtimeprofessional nurse and one of the county's most articulate champions of returning control ofmedical care to the citizens of America. Ms. Brase said that all Americans are coming close tothe dead-end for the country's current medical system; the Medicare Trust Fund, just as theSocial Security Trust Fund, is non-existent. This fact is made worse because the number ofpeople 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 oftreatment. The politicians probably will do both. The national government is now paying forboth programs directly from the payroll-tax funds paid by workers Ms. Brase said that in 2022the 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 Americanworkers. 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 increasedthe ability of the federal bureaucracy, the medical profession, and medical insurers to denyaccess to treatment, a money saver and death sentence for those who are denied. Ms. Brasesaid that it is critical that all Americans must accept the fact that “freedom from Medicare isneeded if they are ever again to have freedom of medical choice.” Ms. Brase closed by sayingthat she also is helping to push legislation that calls for the end to all DEI (Diversity, Equity andInclusion) initiatives in medical schools, rightly identifying those initiatives as bringing both thedeath-kneel of competence, while also encouraging those being trained as doctors todiscriminate between sexes and racial groups in their provision of medical services.Follow Freedom First Network on Pickax at https://pickax.com/freedomfirstnetElevate your meals with Freedom First Beef… even if you find yourself in the middle of the apocalypse!

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. Mr. Shepard and his team have now taken all of that work and information and produced a documentary – running a bit more than an hour -- called “Watergate's Secrets and Betrayals Orchestrating Nixon's Demise”. It is now available on its own website, https://www.watergatesecrets.com and can be watched for free. The film details a process by which the U.S. Department of Justice, several federal judges, and many anti-Nixon lawyers and mainstream media did indeed cooperate and conspire to overthrow Nixon. There surely was a Watergate crime, this film is not denial of that fact. But the U.S. legal authorities, the NY Times, and the Newsweek and Time magazines were all virulently anti-Nixon. The DOJ hired a force of 92 people to set-up Nixon – 60 of them lawyers, 17 of whom had been DOJ lawyers under John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson -- and they engaged in a prolonged and surreptitious anti-Nixon campaign that today would be called “lawfare”, similar to the torturous and illegal process that Trump has experienced. For example, prosecutors in the case against Nixon met secretly with judges overseeing the case and discussed how the trial should be planned and conducted. The prosecutors, for example, met ten times with Judge Sirica, the lead judge in the case. Another revealing example is the Senate's agreement that the investigation would focus solely on Nixon's 1972 election campaign, and would not touch anything that dealt with the 1968, 1964, and 1960 elections, the latter, of course, has long been said to have been corrupted in favor of Kennedy. In sum, these illegal activities can only be seen as a conspiracy against Nixon, and, for the first time, the American people can now see how that attack and overthrow on the president occurred, and the story is told on the basis of unimpeachable evidence that shows how Nixon's presidency was scuttled after an illegal campaign that we know is a process called lawfare.--Mr. Shepard's website is https://www.shepardonwatergate.com--Mr. Shepard's Trilogy on Nixon and the Watergate affair follow; each book can be purchased at Amazon and Barnes and Noble.--1.)

Today, the Two Mikes spoke with Sheriff Richard Mack, who was a constitutional sheriff in GrahamCounty in southwestern Arizona. He also is the founder and the president of an association named theConstitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA, https://cspoa.org) which is holding itsannual conference in Orlando, Florida on 7 September 2024. The CSPOA's membership includes about athousand of the republic's constitutional sheriffs – one-third of the country's total number -- many oftheir subordinates, and it is open for membership to all American citizens interested in its non-violenteffort to restore constitutional government to all of the United States, with a special emphasis on fullyrestoring the Bill of Rights. Sheriff Mack noted that the constitutional sheriffs swear an oath ofallegiance to the U.S. Constitution and so can act in protection of life, liberty, and the pursuit ofhappiness – the latter refers to the accumulation of personal property – and, for example, can block gunseizures, protect churches and businesses from mandated closings, as in the case of Covid, and preventthe outrageous denials of liberty we have seen against Amish farmers in Pennsylvania and other farmersaround the country. In essence, Sheriff Mack said, the maintenance of the peoples' liberty is theconstitutional sheriffs' sole responsibility. It also should be noted that Sheriff Mack managed to achievethe almost impossible when he launched a personal law suit that made its way to the Supreme Court –and he won! In the case of Mack-Vs-United States (1995), Mack challenged the legality of “The BradyHandgun Violence Prevention Act (Brady Bill) required ‘local chief law enforcement officers. (CLEOs) toperform background-checks on prospective handgun purchasers, until such time as the AttorneyGeneral establishes a federal system for this purpose.”(1)--the Supreme Court constructed its opinion on the old principle that state legislatures are notsubject to federal direction. The Court explained that while Congress may require the federalgovernment to regulate commerce directly, in this case by performing background-checks onapplicants for handgun ownership, the Necessary and Proper Clause does not empower it tocompel state CLEOs to fulfill its federal tasks for it - even temporarily. (2)Sheriff Mack's argument not only won the case, but, in its decision, the Supreme Court also stuck a blowin favor of state's rights by reasserting the constitutional fact that state legislatures are not vassals ofthe federal government. Indeed, the Founders intended the states to be a check and balance against thesteady expansion of federal power. That undesirable and Constitution-wrecking expansion is now a factand it appears that constitutional law enforcement officers may well be our last, best chance to preventthe federal government from solidifying itself as a vast concentration of dictatorial power.The text of the majority decision – written by Justice Antonin Scalia -- in Mack-vs-United States (1995) isavailable in a pamphlet at https://www.cspoa.com, as well as elsewhere on the internet.Subscribe to Freedom First Network on Rumble to watch all of our shows LIVE: https://freedomfirst.tvElevate your meals with Freedom First Beef… even if you find yourself in the middle of the apocalypse!
