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

Today, The Two Mikes again welcomed back the excellent investigative reporter Jack Maxey.

Mr. Maxey, listeners will recall, was the first journalist to secure the hard drive from Hunter Biden’s computer, and shared it with a number of senior federal government officials so they could get a handle on the illegalities Hunter and his band of cohorts were up to. Mr. Maxey noted that most of those who received the hard drive never sought to exploit the material on the hard drive.

Our discussion today focused on more current events and particularly Trump’s initial actions and words since the Inauguration. Mr. Maxey said that Trump appeared to be intent on fulfilling his campaign promises, particularly on the issue of illegal immigration. On this issue, though, it seems that sending only 1,500 troops to the border is insufficient. Why not multiple brigades or even divisions to close the border as the border wall is being completed? One reason for this is clearly the fact that so much of the U.S. military is deployed overseas either fighting or being prepared to fight in wars – like those in Ukraine and Israel-Palestine – which are of precisely no interest to the national security of the United States. Making things worse is the fact that additional units of the U.S. military have been sent to Syria to try to control the mess created by the Israeli-Western intelligence services that successfully overthrew Assad’s regime, an operation meant to satisfy Israel’s passion for creating a “Greater Israel”. This foolish action is not likely to do much more than reinvigorate the Islamist guerilla groups that Western governments have been fighting for decades.

Only well-educated Westerners could believe that the Islamists will reliably acquiesce in a pro-Israel Syrian regime. The question also must be asked about how long Netanyahu’s Israel can last, given the divisions created by Netanyahu’s war, the information now leaking out that he removed defense forces from the Gaza border just prior to the Hamas attack of 7 October 2023, and the fact that the United States is now led by a president Netanyahu refused to support during the election. Three other factors seem clear at the start of Trump’s second term: (a.) He still likes to run with billionaires and appoint them to government offices; (b.) He speaks far too often as if he is intending to take America to war with Russia, as well as any place Israel tells him to attack, and (c.) He seems ill-advised if he thinks the scheme to move all of the Palestinians out of Palestine to other Muslim countries has a chance in hell of working.

Today, the Two Mikes were fortunate to host the return of Tom deSabla, an eloquent Libertarian and a talented economist. We discussed the economic troubles that President Trump is inheriting and the problems -- economic and political – his administration will face in trying to solve them. The first problem, obviously, is the federal deficit, which has tripled since 2001.

This problem has become much greater because of the fires – (man-made?) in Los Angeles. This week’s estimates suggest that it will cost at least $275 billion of the taxpayer’s money. Americans have always been profoundly generous in supporting their fellow citizens affected by natural disasters. But this time the relief money needed is unprecedented, and in this case Trump faces not only the deficit problem, but the political and, perhaps, moral issues. The Trump government must identify where the funds will come, and, as important, must arrange a means to deliver the enormous aid required in a way that ensures it is used only to rebuild the burned-out parts of the city. Whether or not the fires were intentionally started, Governor Newsome’s government has definitively proven itself to be a thoroughly profligate, amateurish, and authoritarian organization, and as being incapable of doing even the most necessary of governmental, suppressing crime, providing useful education rather than leftist indoctrination, and, most obviously, making the state’s invaluable forest resources as safe as possible from wildfires. It would be madness for Trump’s government to put $275 million into the hands of Newsome and his gang unless arrangements are for a strict oversight mechanism that ensures the taxpayers’ money is spent for the purposes for which it is intended, and not for the leftist ruination of California which all Americans have been watching Newsome, his party, and their extreme leftist bureaucracy are conducting in the state.

A second major problem for Trump’s government is to reestablish the reputation of the United States as a fair and a non-war-seeking republic. That of course does not mean that America does not protect itself and its genuine national interests. It means that in order to live in a world where America is less detested, Washington must curtail – preferably stop -- interventionist wars, unending sanctions, entangling, useless, and expensive alliances like NATO and the UN, and the overthrowing of legally elected governments. Simply put, the economic world that American leaders built after 1945 no longer exists, and the United States itself is far more disliked – even hated – in the world than ever before. Indeed, the world as a whole recognizes that the U.S. government that the threat posed by China to many areas of the world has been the product of the United States insisting that China be admitted to the World Trade Organization (WTO), with the status of a still “developing country”. After spending seventy years learning how to crush a militarist, murderous, and expansionist USSR, America and many of its Western allies pretended the Cold War never existed and happily enabled China to become a deadly Communist powerhouse on the back of U.S. and Western economic investment.

Wokism is the death wish of the inferior, the unintelligent, and their pawns

Today, The Two Mikes spoke with Dr. Edward Dutton, an anthropologist, journalist, and polymath who lives and works in Finland and produces distinctive books that help to explain the ups and downs that occur during the unfolding of civilizations, as well as their causes. Dr. Dutton said that in the world’s current difficult condition there is a bit of justification for guarded optimism. In essence, the ideologues and practitioners of Wokism are unknowingly doing “God’s work”. So devoid of commonsense and intelligence are these Wokesters that they are, in essence, genetic mutants and are slowly being replaced by highly conservative peoples whose distinguishing characteristics are intelligence and religiosity. Indeed, Woke leaders are easily identified by their lack of truth-telling, their eagerness to revel in a high-level of lawlessness, a their noticeable lack of intelligence, their terror of a fair fight, their passion for being victims, hypocrites, narcissists, as well as for teaching other to be the same, their unending thirst for power, their rabid hatred of religion, and, most recently their eagerness to look after and support other peoples, rather than their own, as well as to pardon people associated with any kind of criminal activity. In short, Wokism is the property and pride of genetically inferior left-wingers who aim to cause civilizational collapse, while operating under the guise of “social justice” to hide their ardent dedication to Social Darwinism.

On the other side of the divide lies conservatives, people who are generally fit (physically and intellectually); self-reliant, courageous, religious, group-oriented – a fundamental part of successful conservatism – and appropriately belligerent. The foregoing traits constitute the basis for surviving the lethal antics and intellectual nonsense advocated by mad left-wingers. American conservatives are especially capable of taking back their country, as they have proven themselves to be one of the world’s foremost examples of a people whose intelligence, belligerence, respect for tradition and their fellows, strong and durable religiosity, and ability to carve a successful civilization out of a wildly dangerous North American wilderness. These conservatives simply have no use for the tenets now cultivating the world’s current and aggressively anti-humanity morass.

Professor Dutton closed by noting that the collapse of civilization for which the left yearns and has worked to cause, may yet come, but it will not come in the lands the Woke have worked so long to destroy. Instead, it will come in the non-Western countries that have followed the lead and ideas of the Wokists and so have prepared themselves for self-destruction.

--Among Dr. Dutton’s Books (available at Amazon) are:

--Woke Eugenics: How Social Justice is a Mask for Social Darwinism (2024),

by Edward Dutton and J. O. A. Rayner-Hilles

--The Past is a Future Country: The Coming Conservative Demographic Revolution (2022), By Edward Dutton.

--At Our Wits' End: Why We're Becoming Less Intelligent and What It Means for the Future (2018), By Edward Dutton and Michael A. Woodley of Menie, 2018

Today, The Two Mikes spoke with Professor Michael Busler.

Dr. Busler teaches at Stockton University in New Jersey. While Trump is not yet inaugurated, Dr. Busler said that, from an economic perspective, he is “extraordinarily optimistic for the economy going forward.

Dr.Busler said that Trump has correctly targeted energy as a starting point for driving down prices and easing the budget problems of both businesses and consumers. On the business side, energy prices are directly responsible for 8-percent of the GDP, and indirectly contribute 30-percent. Trump, Dr. Busler said, demonstrated he can get the U.S. government out of the way of private enterprise and that his first-term policies provided “opportunities for all”, and ended his term with a national inflation rate of 1.4-percent.

Professor Busler noted that the new Trump administration does face an economic challenge in the refusal of the Federal Reserve chief, Jerome Powell, a person, who over his tenure at the FED, made four serious and economy disrupting errors that insured the decline of the economy and also acted against its recovery. There is no easy answer as Powell and the FED are independent of the three branches of the federal government. The answer to the problem, of course, is to get rid of the Fed altogether – which has periodically savaged the U.S. economy since its creation by a congressional law. The Congress can pass a new law that eliminates the law of 1913 which created the FED. Afterward the administration of the U.S. economy would be handed the U.S. Treasury, where it always should have been. Dr. Busler, however, said that it would not be easy to get the Congress to pass a repeal of the 1913 law, as the FED has built its own sector of powerful supporters and lobbyists.

Finally, Dr. Basler reminded Americans that the Biden Administration’s electrical-vehicle mandates and subsidies have nearly killed the U.S. industry. It is only the U.S. federal government that would provide enormous subsidies and illegal mandates to try to force the Americans to purchase cars that Americans do not want and cannot afford.

Regarding the new Trump Administration. He said he expects to see a revival of the four concepts that made the American economy the envy of the world: (a) individual freedom; (b) individual responsibility; (c) low rates of taxation; and (d) limited government that stays out of the way of private investment and other economic activities.

Today, the Two Mikes and our producer Fadi spoke about the road we have traveled together to reach our 500th podcast.

We reminisced a bit about the past, but mostly discussed how lucky we have been able to speak with so many really good and smart guests, men and women who taught both us and our listeners a lot about how the world really works when you talk to genuinely knowledgeable Americans and Foreigners who love the United States and understand the beauty and worth of the U.S. Constitution.

We have gone toe-to-toe with a couple of our guests on some issues, but only one has ever refused to return. Almost needless to say we talked to that fellow about the events of January 6th, about which he knows a great deal, and we asked him to come back again, a request to which he agreed, but he never answered another of our emails. This fellow – who advertises himself as “Proud Jew” -- must have gotten a call from the ADL or AIPAC ordering him to stop speaking with the two old guys who -- unlike most recent presidents -- believe America is overwhelmingly more important than Israel. You can take it to the bank, that over our 500 podcasts we have encountered a goodly number of this guy’s brethren who will damn and condemn us but will not agree to discuss their gripes on a podcast.

Anyway, the three of us want to thank all of our listeners for their support and comments, all of our sponsors who have made us rich – that’s not true of course – and the Lord for letting two young - older men persevere through scores of shows and be blessed with great guests and marvelous listeners.

Merry Christmas to all you, and may God protect all of you.

Today, the Two Mikes spoke for the first time with the well-known and much-respected Middle East journalist Ghadi Francis.

Ms. Francis is Lebanese and attended school in southern Lebanon, the area in which Hezbollah is largely based. She said that the West always deceitfully speaks of Hezbollah as a foreign entity in Lebanon., a sort of occupying power. It is not, she explained. Hezbollah is native to Lebanon, and is both a political party and a military organization that defends Lebanon.

Asked if she expected, at long last, that the nearby Arab tyrants would assist Hezbollah and Hamas in their attempt to finish off Israel, Ms. Francis said she did not, as they have no record of being “helpful to the Palestinians” and are clearly only interested in protecting their rule and the support of the United States government. (Ms. Francis certainly is correct about that.) Asked if she saw any chance of lasting peace if the current war with Israel is halted by a ceasefire brokered by the United States and Britain. She inferred that would only happen if Netanyahu approved, and he would only concur if such a deal would allow Israel to continue its now more than 75-year-old program of aggression, which is based on its lust to “harass and dehumanize Palestinians” as well as the theft of land belonging to Palestinians.

On the economic situation in the region, Ms. Francis said that the situation is poor for working people as the cost of most things is increasing and that food is in short supply. Wheat in particular is scarce and probably will remain that way until the war in Ukraine ends and agricultural activities there get back on track and produce wheat that can be exported.

Today, the Two Mikes interviewed Mr. Ken O’Keefe, who is retired a Marine and has long been

involved in campaigns against the U.S. Government’s unending parade of interventionist wars

in which no genuine national security interest is at risk. In our talk, Mr. O’Keefe was especially

focused on the insanity of America supporting Israel’s current murderous war against Palestine its intention to seizure their remaining territory, and its effort to complete longstanding plans for a “Greater Israel”. Mr. O’Keefe noted that, in general terms, U.S. interventionist wars have changed the values of Americans by hardening their attitudes toward tolerating unnecessary and unending wars, and making them nearly forget the hard fact that modern wars – including those of the United States – always kill far more civilians than it does the supposed military enemy. In Israel’s wars, this is especially true because its definition of victory is territorial expansion by stealing the land of the Palestinians and killing of as many of them is possible.

Since 1948, U.S. presidents and the members of both houses of Congress have knowingly

accepted Israel’s bloody modus operandi and assisted its accomplishment with enormous

amounts of taxpayer money and endless supplies of the best U.S.-made arms. By waging these kinds of war, the U.S. Government also has wasted the lives of thousands of Americans soldiers and Marines, and have crippled many more. These wars also have troubled the minds of some our military personnel and the Veterans Administration has been consistently derelict in supplying adequate services to America’s veterans. Indeed, 22 veterans are committing suicide every day.
