Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – There was a woman who was riding in a bus. She sees the British soldier lying on the ground bleeding. She yells for the bus to stop. She gets off so she can go provide first aid. She’s a cub scout leader. Her name is Ingrid Loyau-Kennett. She engages the terrorist who’s still standing in the street with a bloody machete in his hand, blood all over him. She engages him and keeps him at bay, talking and screaming for 20 minu….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Folks, some of us have been warning you and warning the country and warning our fellow countrymen about this awful thing called the AUMF, the Authorization to Use Military Force. This will allow never-ending wars to continue. Congress doesn’t have to authorize them. They don’t actually have to authorize them. Then they don’t have to vote on them. They don’t have to vote on two-year-long appropriations to support the wars….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – If you really want a solution, if you’re really looking for a radical way to deal with this latest scandal, instead of screaming and hollering at Obama and the IRS, which you’re going to do anyway. You’re always going to protest mightily against a tax collection agency. If you really want something to sink your teeth into, ask the question of why. Why was all this necessary? Check out today’s transcript for the rest…….Continue

Mandeville, LA - Mike Church's daily Pile of Prep, chock full of the IRS, Tea Party tyranny plus other [r]epublican stories used to perform the Mike Church Show on Sirius/XM Patriot channel 125. "The word 'empire' does not yet have the right ring in American ears, so the new Jacobins try not to appear too grasping. But even when feigning modesty the will to dominate has difficulty keeping up appearances – as when Ben Wattenberg said, no, no, no, we Americans do not want to ….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Tom Woods and Kevin Gutzman are probably two of the smartest men that I have certainly ever met. Tom was a late bloomer. Tom started out as what he calls a neocon and what I call a decepticon. It’s not until you immerse yourself in the actual study of history -- I don’t just mean the epical history we love to romanticize about. I mean an actual viewing of the nitty gritty, the good, the bad, and ….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Did a mob of terrorists kill American citizens? Yes. Could the Obama administration have thwarted the mob of terrorists? I haven’t seen any convincing evidence for this unless you want to go back, again, to the original sin and you want to say that had the Obama administration and the president not participated in the unconstitutional act of war that precipitated the assassination of the leader of Libya, Muammar Gaddafi, okay, t….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – As a matter of fact, I have a very provocative piece of email that came my way yesterday. Do you remember yesterday we had a very robust discussion about whether or not the federales ought to continue in their vaunted position as seeking out terrorists or pursuing terror masterminds of first resort? I was making the case yesterday that it was the citizens of the Boston area and a sort of vigilant public that actually apprehended th….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I would like to draw the distinction between what basically today is entertainment that is labeled and branded as intellectual thought. It’s not intellectual thought. It is entertainment that may be amenable and may appeal to people who believe themselves to be conservative, but it is not an intellectual and well thought out and principled conservatism, not of the order of the Russell Kirks and this gentleman I was reading, of th….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Now to Chuck Hagel, who had the misfortune of being the guy chosen to be the head of the Defense Department and the new Secretary of Defense. He had to announce yesterday: Military cuts are coming, guys. I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news, but they’re right around the corner. Listen to Hagel try to explain what is about to happen. Check out today’s audio and transcript for the rest…….Continue

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - There's a column by Jonah Goldberg at realclearpolitics.com called "Can Republicans Reverse the Damage Done by Iraq?" For JONAH GOLDBERG, a decepticon, big war, big government, bomb 'em back to the stone age kind of guy, is BIG. We've been saying, along with people like Ron Paul, that the Iraq War was a mistake for five years. How many people do we need to employ to scour the planet for enemies? For monsters to go in search of to d….Continue
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I view the foreign policy debate not as an emotional thing and as a victory that I’d like to see a party carry. That’s an historical thing to me. It is informed by the history. The history says that these are horrifically dangerous precedents to set. Free people, if they really cherish their liberties, they don’t have and they don’t want a standing army. Check out today’s transcript for the rest…….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – This is a very dangerous thing that we have done. We are flirting with disaster. We are flirting with human misery. We are not the exception to the rule of human nature, sir. We are humans. We are fallible. Human nature does not change over continents. In our arrogance and saying things like you just said, we make ourselves “We’re the exception. We would never rain that kind of tyranny.” S….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I guess the point of the exercise is that we have all manner of extravagance and we live a very posh, gilded lifestyle here, while those people that you’re talking about are suffering in the third world. If you think that is something that needs to stop and that is your calling, it’s not your government’s job to do that. It’s your job to do that. Check out today’s audio and transcript for the rest…….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Sarah Palin does provide wonderful comedic relief to CPAC and other events like this. To put her in the league of the thoughtful, critical-thinking, intelligent -- I’ve got to be careful how I say this -- intelligent imaginative conservative, I think, is just a stretch. She is great for the base, they love her, but what she talks about usually and what usually comes from her is just boilerplate cliché. Check out today’s trans….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Rand Paul wins the CPAC straw poll and nobody notices. The Drudge Report doesn’t even have a headline on this. My buddy tells me Saturday afternoon, when we’re knee deep in pork butts: Hey, Mike, did you know your buddy Rand Paul won the CPAC straw poll? I just said: What!? He said: Yeah, it’s on CNN. Check out today’s transcript for the rest…….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – On today's show, Jordan Bloom of the American Conservative Magazine joined Mike Church to discuss Rand Paul's filibuster from the Senate floor, check out the transcript and audio for more...….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Why can’t Republicans, why can’t war hawks, admit the exact same thing? Your devotion to a warlike way of life does nothing more than create more warlike situations. We are in a perpetual warlike situation. By your own admission, we’re not safe. Hell, we’ve spent more money in the last ten years than we’ve spent in almost all years combined as a union, and yet you keep telling us that we’re more threatened and more in….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I do not like this term “national security.” It is too ubiquitous. The 18th and 19th century version of that would be “common defense.” It would be very specific and it would be a very limited power to be used very cautiously and judiciously. The operative word is defense, not offense, not humanitarian. Check out today’s transcript for the rest…….Continue

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - Conservatism’s advance or conservatism’s defense and then advance should not be predicated upon its marriage to a political party. The political party ought to be courting us. We should not be courting the political party. That equation is backwards. We’re the leaders that if the party wants to use our brain trust, if they’re smart and want to organize and retool what it is they do, they need to come to us. We don’t need t….Continue

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - In today's Founders TV show, Mike reads from an article at The Imaginative Conservative by Michael P. Federici entiteled "Imperialism Destroys the Constitutional Republic". Mr. Federici notes in the beginning of his article that imperialism is incompatible with little r [r]epublicanism, because the Constitution does not allow the appointing of a King. To follow the path of Empire is to follow the path….Continue
