  • Trump Walks into Chaos | Tom deSabla
    2025/01/22
    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.

  • The Collapse of Civilization with Edward Dutton
    2025/01/14
    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. Woodley of Menie, 2018

  • How Trump will Fix the Economy | Dr. Michael Busler
    2024/12/10
    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.

  • 500 Episodes of Truth: Reflecting on Hard-Hitting Conversations, Exposing Corruption, and Standing for America First
    2024/11/26
    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.

  • Victory or Martyrdom with Ghadi Francis
    2024/11/19
    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.

  • We Fought The Wrong Enemy with Ken O’Keefe
    2024/11/13
    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.

  • A Man Before His Time: Ron Paul
    2024/10/21
    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.
