Why Is Presidents Day A Holiday?
The General Government and the Power To Declare a Holiday Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – "While we’re in the middle of the discussion here on Presidents’ Day, what power does the general government have to compel a holiday on the rest of us? Not that most lazy, underachieving people out there that call themselves Americans won’t take the opportunity to seize upon any day that could be called a holiday, whether it’s Arbor Day….Continue
Jeffrey Tucker and The Merchant Class
Jeffrey Tucker's Interview on The Merchant Class Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – "Quite frankly, I think we’re going to have to start learning to live without the State. All of its systems are failing us, the educational system, the monetary system. People used to think that the government was going to help out, just our enemies spying on us and eluding us all over place. Nothing works anymore. This is why I think the ….Continue
John Taylor of Caroline Explains Tyranny
We Live In Tyranny BECAUSE Of Our Constitution Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – "So Taylor sat down and he wrote one of his many treatises when things like that were on his mind. This one was called "Tyranny Unmasked". You don’t have to read the entire 161 pages of the book to get it. As I said yesterday, you could probably read 20 and you’ll understand most of the point of view. After re-reading the preface today, I don….Continue
John Taylor of Caroline Explained: Federal Leviathan is Not Sovereign, We Are
The Federal Leviathan is Not Sovereign, We The People Are Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – "It’s your body, your life. It is your property. You own your own intellectual property. You own the fruits of your own labor. You are sovereign, in other words. An entity, like the federal government, can’t be sovereign, not in the same sense that an individual can." Check out today’s transcript for the rest… Begin Mike Church Show Transcript Caller Aaron….Continue
Why Don't Principled People Swear Off Government Wealth Redistribution Through Their Work?
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Our morality and our twisted sense of morals allow the beast. It allows leviathan to do exactly what it is doing today. You’re not going to find very many people that have the moral turpitude to say: I’m walking away because I can no longer in good conscience accept another dime knowing the money that’s being transferred and laundered through the government to the company that I work for is ultimately going to have to be pa….Continue
Unemployment Is Not A Problem Of Means, It's A Problem Of Will
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – "I have a suggestion. Next time someone tells you they’ve been out of work for a couple months and can’t find a job, hand them a pipe wrench. Next time someone has been out of work for a couple months and can’t find a job, hand them a welding rod. Next time someone’s been out of work and can’t find a job for a couple months, hand them a shovel." Check out today’s transcript for the rest… Begin Mike Church Show….Continue
How Conservative Is It To Expect All Military Pension Promises Can Be Honored?
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – "Well, what does conservative mean today? It means you’re willing to pile up bodies and blow things up in foreign countries that you can’t point to or can’t identify on a map. That’s what most conservatives think today. In other words, conservative today is being confused, or rather a super hyper-nationalist, a Jacobin is being confused today as a conservative."

Recreational Marijuana Is The Smell Of Freedom, So Why ASK To Have It Taxed!?
If you smell a dope plant being burned somewhere nearby where you live in Colorado, as Lord Christopher Monckton said to me one day when I smoked a cigar in my radio studio and he was shocked to see someone in the United States actually consume tobacco indoors – he said: I love that smell. I said: You’re a cigar smoker? He said: No, no, I despise tobacco, but you burning that indoors, that’s the smell of freedom to me.….Continue
Debt Makes The NSA & War Possible, The Fed Makes Debt, See The Problem?
"There are a couple of ways you can think about the national legislature’s debt. One of the ways I suggest you think about it is that this is future pain. That’s what it is, future pain, future misery, and future tyranny. If there is an actual effort to pay the debt or to honor the commitments that make up part of the $222 trillion debt, that would then require a confiscation of private wealth and private property that today seems incomprehensible."….Continue
Caller Steve: ObamaCare Makes His Insurance $6,900 More Expensive
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – "If we’re looking for any kind of a silver lining from the ObamaCare implementation, and I’m not promoting this as a silver lining, and no, I’m not happy about it. What I said was, in the first hour, that the implementation of the Affordable Care Act has lifted the shroud on what this stuff actually costs. People are shocked. They are shocked at what it actually costs, shocked to the point of they’re ready to revolt." ….Continue
Clyde Wilson's Forlorn Hopes
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Professor Clyde Wilson, one of the brightest and most brilliant historian minds around today, has this blog post at Chronicles Magazine. I always enjoy Dr. Wilson’s little rants here. I thought I would share this one with you today because it’s appropriate, under the title “Forlorn Hopes.” Check out today’s transcript for the rest…….Continue
David Simpson's Financial Sanity In Three Easy Lessons
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Now you and I can talk about preserving my Financial Sanity in Three Easy Lessons, your new book. David Simpson, whom many of you know, he’s been on the show many times, he’s provided financial counsel to me in the past. What are the three easy lessons? Check out today’s transcript for the rest…….Continue
Temporary Abuses Of The System Become Permanent Abuses, AKA Entitlements
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – People love to call radio shows and make Twitter and Facebook posts all about Saul Alinsky, who’s dead, and whose Rules for Radicals can inspire us to be Obama-like and understand what the Obamabots are doing. I think what the Obamabot zombies are doing is a lot more related to, as I discussed earlier, the transfer of wealth than you may be willing to admit. The reason why people are not willing to admit it or don’t want to adm….Continue
The [r]epublicanism Virus Has Escaped, Infecting Communities With The Spirit Of Self-Government And Civic Pride
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – If there’s one thing I think we’re going to be very excited about the prospects of in the very near future for ourselves, for the rest of our lives, and hopefully for our children, it is that decentralization, republicanism, and civic spirit is returning. It wasn’t on the backburner. I think it was pretty much on life support. It has been revived. It has not been revived in the persona of a political party. It has been rev….Continue
Billions Of Dollars Was Taken By States To Use On Obamacare, But That's Not What They Spent It On
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – This is the way the game works. If you think it’s just a game about ideology and politics, again, I say you’re wrong. The game is all about the money, boatloads of federal money. Follow the boatloads of federal money and you will always wind up where the pot of gold is at the end of the lib rainbow, always. They’re all about the boatloads of federal money. Check out today’s transcript for the rest…….Continue
Interview With Kevin Gutzman On Obamacare
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Yesterday, I’m sure you have seen some or all of the president’s wielding of his scepter at his press conference yesterday, asserting he was granting all these insurers and the states this power to alter their plans and basically I guess to ignore what is actually in the Affordable Care Act. I asked you in an email exchange: Is there any precedent for this? Has any president done anything remotely ….Continue
If You Think $680 Billion Budget Deficit Is Big, Just Wait For Obamacare To Be Added
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – This is just getting started, just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Where’s the money going to come from? Is this new woman, Janet Yellen, is she going to get in the Federal Reserve and crank out another $80 billion a month to pay for this? We have to keep the stock market going. You gotta feed the monkey, you know, man. Is she going to crank out $80 billion a month to subsidize all those that are going to sign up for the Af….Continue
The Founding Fathers Weren't Gods, And Neither Are Modern Politicians
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I wish it were a news flash, but it’s not a news flash that the welfare state has replaced the charity state and the little laboratories of philanthropy and democracy that de Tocqueville saw when he came here back in the 1820s and 1830s and wrote a book about it called Democracy in America. I think the experiment was doomed to fail as soon as the first bow was breached. We can wax vainglorious all we want to about the magnanimity….Continue
Military Charity For The Philippines - I Didn't Authorize That Expenditure!
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I heard today that the United States Marine Corps was on the ground, marshaling crowds about, handing out supplies and trying to fix these things. I did not authorize the United States military, I did not extend my sovereign sphere to authorize the military to do cleanup in the Philippines. I don’t want to be taxed for it. I don’t want to become an indentured servant or experience involuntary servitude to have to repay it. Ch….Continue
What Did The Founders Think Of Big Government? Let's Ask John Taylor Of Caroline
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – The last caller to the program asked me what I thought the founders, why they opposed or why they afraid of big government. I said to him that to answer that question, you’d have to understand or explain exactly what big government would have meant to them. It did not mean to them what it means to us today, because we see this monstrosity and this excessive abuse of power that unfortunately has become commonplace, it seems, has b….Continue

Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction?
Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?
Patrick Henry
