IRS' Lois Lerner Pleads The Fifth Because She Has Nothing To Hide?
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I haven’t done anything wrong, but I’m not going to tell you about what I didn’t do wrong. There’s something just a little bit disingenuous about that statement, just a wee bit. I haven’t done anything wrong, but I refuse to tell you about the things I didn’t do wrong. She then proceeded to get up and leave. Check out today’s transcript for the rest…….Continue
Wilson-Era Espionage And Sedition Acts Are Unconstitutional But Used By Obama Today
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – In other words, if you don’t like the war that we’re currently involved in, you’re not allowed to speak out against it. People were prosecuted for opposing. I told you this the other day. People were prosecuted, number one, for opposing the draft, the Military Service Act of 1918, and then for opposing the war outright. The American people did not want Woodrow Wilson’s war. This is what they put on the books to prosecute….Continue
Is Davis A Traitor? - Interview With Brion McClanahan
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – That’s what we did with Is Davis A Traitor? It is, in our opinion and in the opinion of many people, the greatest book ever written about not only was secession a constitutional right prior to the war of 1861, but on the Constitution as a compact and the theory behind it and the facts of the case. There’s even a chapter in the book that’s called “The Facts of the Case.” It’s just a marvelous book that’s been lost to ….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
Thanks Media: God Gets The Bronze And The "Exceptional Nation" Gets The Gold
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Come on, Mike, there’s nothing that’s really permanent.” I suppose if you approach these things and these matters from the point of view that there is no permanence, meaning there is no God and there is no Transcendent, then I suppose you could make the case or conclude that there’s only us and only us tomorrow and only the us we make. Then there will be only them and they will decide. Since they all decide and there i….Continue
This Day In Founding Fathers History - 1 March 2013
This Day In Founding Fathers History – 1 March 2013 On this day in 1781, the Articles of Confederation were ratified by Maryland, the final of the thirteen states to ratify. “The ratification of the Articles of Confederation was delayed for two years by Maryland, who refused to ratify until the larger states—primarily Virginia and New York—had ceded their extensive land claims in the West to the national government. Virginia countered with the accusation that Maryland….Continue
Happy Federally Mandated Presidents Day!
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - Happy Presidents Day, or Washington's Birthday as it used to be known and celebrated on it's correct date of February 22nd, before the Uniform Monday Holiday Act in 1968 which moved some holidays to Mondays for Federal employees but has no authority over states and private citizens. And don't forget to go out and do what Washington would've wanted you to do on his birthday: take 50% off of a new mattres….Continue
Sovereign Citizens And Article V Amendment Convention
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - The fact that we’re having this conversation demonstrates yet again that the Constitution is not the work of a God; it’s the work of fallible men. They did not and could not have possibly foreseen all the damage and usurpations that would be visited upon the compact by designing men. You have to perceive these things. Their attitude was correct. You have to go into the proceedings and legislative sessions or conventions with the ….Continue
Tyranny And Despair Are As Old As Man
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
If Wishes Were Horses, Beggars Would Ride - Just Practice Republicanism
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - Jefferson said that republicanism is defined as: a government that is controlled by the people upon which it directly acts. In other words, if you live in a little hamlet anywhere in the United States, you have a town council or city council or alderman, whatever the case may be. Whoever is your direct lawgiver, that is who ought to exercise the most legislative power over your affairs. Why is this concept so hard to understand and wh….Continue
The Writers of History Don't Always Get It Right
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
Interview with Ron Paul - Iran, the Fed, Foreign Policy, and His Future
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Audio and Transcript - Congressman Paul of Texas joined Mike on the show today to discuss his thoughts on war, specifically the situation in Libya and what Iran having nuclear weapons means to us. He also talks about his early days in Congress... who did he look up to, if anyone, or was he just defending the Constitution? What is he going to do after his tenure in Congress is over? All of these questions, and much more, are answered in today's audi….Continue

Stop Being So Cynical And Find The Beauty Around You
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - Many people had the greatest intentions and look how it all turned out. Then the problem becomes that people will not admit, government is not allowed and will not admit its own failings. It just hasn’t plowed enough money in it, hasn’t tried hard enough. Now it seems like we’re stuck always looking for, always expecting the worst and the bad. That’s no way to go through life, man. That’s no way to even be a hopeful people….Continue
The Constitution Was Written By Fallible Men, Not Divined By God
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - You see and hear it every day on this show when people call me up and argue with me about incorporation and deny the history. It has to do with this idea that the United States Constitution was sent by God, that it was carried down from Mt. Sinai, which was Independence Hall, carved on stone tablets, and we’re all sworn a perpetual and never-ending oath to uphold and worship it. It was a document, ladies and gentlemen, written by mor….Continue
Government Out Of Scale - What Would Jefferson Do?
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - What would Jefferson then say about how we’re so far out of scale today? What we mean by scale is you can’t have representation when your representative represents 709,000 people. That’s just a pipedream. What would Jefferson and company then do if they were going to try and arrest this evil that we all seem possessed of? My wager is that they would look towards establishing a much smaller, more representative government under ….Continue

Government And Media Corruption Is A Symptom Of Our Moral Decay
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - Think about it, our federal government we complain mightily about, our state governments we complain mightily about, they are the largest public display of what we do together. No longer are the acts of what we do together the acts of peace, human felicity and what have you. Now they are the acts of abject corruption. They are demonstrated and seen and shown in our legislatures. Is that a symptom of legislative system or is that….Continue
Thomas Jefferson - First Inaugural Address - Part II
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - How many of you American exceptionalists now don’t like TJ now that you've heard his Inaugural Address? Jefferson was out there saying peace and commerce with all nations, entangling alliances with none. Isn’t Jefferson the one who wanted war with Tripoli? Didn’t he single-handedly call up the Marines and wage war against the Bashar of Tripoli? I was told, incorrectly of course, by some of you. Check out today's transcript for th….Continue
Now Fame Comes From Persona And Social Media, Not Deeds Or Talent
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - Of all my readings before the modern media age, of the great men that went before and those that are great -- and we know because of their deeds -- you don’t find any of this. Number one, it didn't exist, but the 17th, 18th, and 19th century antecedents or forms of it didn't exist. Were there men that were famous? Yeah, they were famous, but they were famous specifically because of their deed. Check out today's transcript for the re….Continue
