• How Trump will Fix the Economy | Dr. Michael Busler
    Dec 10 2024
    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
    Nov 26 2024
    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
    Nov 19 2024
    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
    Nov 13 2024
    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
    Oct 21 2024
    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.

  • More Money More Problems with Tom DiLorenzo
    Oct 16 2024
    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.

  • The United States of Warlords with Murray Sabrin
    Oct 10 2024
    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.

  • The Lost Tribes of Europe with AJ Sanchez
    Oct 2 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.

    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.
