The Good Vs. Evil Paradigm Is Shifting

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

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

Patrick Henry - Patriot, Pontificator And Bibliophile

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Hayes actually went to Red Hill, which is where Henry lived and died, and asked permission of the family and the curator of the family estate and found Henry’s own diaries and the logs that Patrick Henry used to catalog his possessions. Back in those days, if you had books, books were like -- what would you compare a book to today? A book was a prized possession. They were very difficult to make. Usually what would happen is so….Continue

Truth Is Treason In The Empire Of Lies...And It Doesn't Pay Well Either

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I was told by my financial advisor David Simpson: Okay, Mike, I want you to do half of what you do, your brilliant creativity, lying to the public and telling them what they want to hear -- like for Red State Gal and Blue State on Twitter yesterday -- and then the other half of the time you can pursue the truth. You have to lie half the time in order to make a living. That’s what we’ve come to here. I don’t want to do that. ….Continue

Germany Survived And America Will Survive Too

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – If the people of Germany could survive the Kaiser, World War I, Weimar Republic, unbelievable inflation, the rise of national socialism, the rise of Nazism, World War II, and then come out on the other side wealthier and better off than they were when they went in, I think we’re going to do okay as Americans. We’re resourceful. We have, as I said, an unbelievable amount of resources at our disposal….Continue

Technology - Making Us Better...Slackers

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – In our enlightened age here, we seem to have convinced ourselves, or many people have tried to convince themselves, that technology is actually the work of the future and that’s all that is needed. No one will have to grow our food. No one will have to milk the cows. No one will have to figure out how to get the water from point A to point B. We won’t have to go through any of the things we go th….Continue

History Proves A War Hawk Foreign Policy Leads To Moral Devolution Of Society

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

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

Conservatives Need To Stop Fighting Over Details And Study History

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – This is why this schism is occurring inside conservative ranks. Number one, people don’t truly study conservative things. They don’t study the classics. They don’t study their actual history. They’re willing to take the mythological versions that modern-day charlatans publish, broadcast and what have you without doing their own due diligence. They haven’t considered the way the great traditions came about and why they ….Continue

Instead Of Learning From History, Today's Youth Is Erasing It

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – The bad of it is that they’re rejecting all of recorded history. They’re saying the people that came before them were a bunch of racist, hick hayseeds that aren’t worth our consideration. We need to cleanse the history books of them and learn from them because they were wrong. In other words, our foreparents aren’t to be admired; they’re to be relegated to the ashbin of history. This is a point of view that is very dang….Continue

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - My point is, we’re not the first people to deal with this, so let’s just get over ourselves. Let’s just get over our own little hubris and arrogance. Go about living your life. Don’t worry about your friends that you can’t convince. There are always going to be idgets out there and there’s always going to be ignorant people. You cannot control them. You can influence them by your actions. ….Continue

The Writers of History Don't Always Get It Right

Contains Exclusive: Audio, Video Topics: , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - Patrick Henry said it best when he said, "I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience." Well, that's true when you're reading and studying original source documents, not watching and listening to other peoples interpretations of history. As new evidence suggests, Shakespeare was basically slandering the good name of Richard III with what Henry VII told him to write. Similar things have happe….Continue

Progressive History For Progressive Kids!

Contains Exclusive: Audio, Video Topics: , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - The University of Texas and Texas A&M did a study on how history is being cataloged so that school age kids can access it. Well, of course this cataloging and digitizing requires human input, and who do you think they hired to do the inputting? If you said Libs or Progressives you would be correct. As a matter of fact if you were looking for Thomas Jefferson's "Notes on the State of Virginia" book where….Continue

Mike Preaches Non-Intervention To Those Addicted To US Military Action

Contains Exclusive: Audio, Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - Do not agree with me. You need to agree with the truth and with the correct historical record (and what it says about US military interventions). That’s what I try to stand for and live up to. That is my measure. You’re not agreeing with me, unless we’re talking about matters of God and transcendency and what we ought to do next. You’re agreeing with history.….Continue

If Letters Die, How Will the Future Know Our History?

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - Here’s another article that I found, stumbled across yesterday: “Preserve Digital Letters.” This is written by a cat named Fady Zaki at something attached 
to Reason Magazine. This guy lives in New Zealand. This guy makes a very interesting observation. This goes out to all you 20-somethings and mid-30-somethings. When was the last time you picked up an ink pen, sat down with paper in front of you, and composed a formal lette….Continue

Why Was There a Constitution Called For?

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - What it takes to be a constitutional expert today is to have gone to a law school on the East Coast, it’s as simple as that, and to have had some professor profess to teach the subject.  What they actually teach, if they teach at all, is they teach Supreme Court history.  It’s not really Constitution history; it’s Supreme Court history.  Constitution history is a fairly straightforward field of stud….Continue

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - It was on January 22, 1812 that Louisianans decided we’re going to carve off this piece of the territory, the Orleans Territory, and we’re going to call this the State of Louisiana.  The congress that bought the territory says that we can do that.  The Louisiana Purchase document acknowledged that the inhabitants of what was being purchased would remain sovereign.  Of course, they were encouraged to f….Continue

[The powerful Executive branch]...converts representation into vassalage to the leaders of parties, disciplined, not by the comparatively honourable infliction of the lash, but by the base and wicked sophism, that it is honourable to stick to a party, and treacherous to adhere to conscience. The disciples of this infamous doctrine are forged into tools for ambition and tyranny by praises and rewards, whilst honesty is discouraged by base epithets, as a foil to the varnish with which the decoys are painted, designed to deceive and enslave the multitude
