Mac and Mike Video Podcast

Mac talks about the Strategic Petroleum Reserve being used to send oil to other nations including China! What the heck is all this about? Do they have something on Joe Biden and Hunter? We are left to speculate but we do know that Joe Biden lied about it.

Is this a sideshow or a serious investigation? Mike came out of a 23 year career with a psychological warfare unit. While not directly involved with PsyOps being in the unit helped him understand when people are trying to persuade rather than investigate. There is a difference and politics is filled with partial truths and a lot of misleading contexts.

Ever wonder how Mac and Mike decide what they are going to talk about. Well, so do we! Usually, we have an idea during the week but nothing comes together for sure until the day of. We decided to just ramble a bit so you can get an idea of what a regular conversation is like. Of course, this is not perfect we are well aware that it is being recorded so it is not really candid.

What causes conspiracy theories? Who is prone to believe them? Are they ever correct? All these questions and more are covered by Mac and Mike. Visit MacAndMike.com for more

There has always been a two-tiered justice system. It was once the rich and connected versus the rest of us. In the 21st Century, it has expanded to rich and connected Democrats versus Republicans. How did we get here and what is the pat forward. Mac and Mike discuss. See more at MacAndMike.com

This is a sensitive subject. However, the question must be answered by those in the church that are confronted with the question. Different denominations have dealt with it in different ways. We explore some of the arguments for and against as well as discuss how we should treat one another. Visit MacAndMike.com for more

Mac and Mike discuss the losses in their lives and how they affected them. Trying to understand why God allows such suffering is trying to understand a mathematical problem you have no idea how to solve.

Mac and Mike discuss if we can compromise with each other anymore. Mike discusses a real-life example of how he gets along with his Democrat friends.

Mac and I were discussing inflation. I don't know about you but my kids are concerned. Mac and I have lived through this before. Take heart, it will be over in about 5 years, Lord willing. But what can you do while waiting? Mac and I have a few suggestions, especially for the younger generation.

While 1984 has come and gone, Orwell's story of a government that will do anything to control the narrative is timelier than ever. Today it is coupled with mass media and big tech. While Orwell could only envision the government having enough power to control the people in his day, he could never have imagined mass media and big tech.

Mac and Mike discuss the potential of Roe v. Wade being overturned by the Supreme Court. It is only a draft that has been leaked. We will see where this goes in the end. We discuss the fact that if overturned it will only mean the decisions go back to the states where many believe it belongs. Read more at macandmike.com

Previously in the post, Elon Musk and Twitter Offer Mac and I spoke about the potential purchase of Twitter by Musk and the return of free speech to the internet. Now that the purchase has been approved things are heating up. Mac and I wonder what is behind all the hysteria.

Mac and Mike discuss the ramifications of fully understanding one another. What if we could not hide our thoughts from each other? Would it make the world better? What would be the difference between suddenly acquiring this ability versus being born with it in a new generation having this ability?

We all know Elon Musk is trying to buy Twitter. Most of us understand his main point is to turn it into a free-speech platform. Rather than trying to start a free-speech platform from scratch, it is much easier to buy one with a user base built-in.

Sunday's with Mac and Mike for Easter 2022. The movie the Passion of the Christ is a good place to start introducing your older children to the true meaning of Easter. Think about making it a tradition.

Mac wanted to discuss inflation and Biden. We meander a bit away from that subject but it's all good. I don't have much to say in writing that wasn't already said in the video. Mac pokes a bit of fun at me in the beginning but he forgets, I'm the one who can edit the video :)

Mac and Mike discuss examples of propaganda and how it can lead to extreme views. America no longer has classical news. We have 24 hours to fill with 30 minutes of news. This leads to way too much commentary. The commentary leads to juicing things up so advertisers will pay for the airtime.... More at MacAndMike.com

This was recorded July 2021. It has been pulled out of the archives since we have not been able to do a podcast in a couple of weeks due to illness. However, it is an appropriate subject for nearly anytime but especially now with the war in Ukraine.

Will this be Afghanistan for Russia all over again? What are the ramifications for America and the rest of the world? Mac and Mike discuss. Visit MacAndMike.com

Mac being Roman Catholic was accustomed to Protestants disparaging his views. The same is often true of the Roman Catholic view towards Protestants. Is this what the Bible teaches us? Is this what Jesus prayed for? No. It is clear that Jesus and the Biblical New Testament authors taught the unity of the church. Read more at MacAndMike.com

Mac and Mike both spent time in Islamic nations during the wars in the Middle East. The discussion involves our personal experience with Muslims and how it is perceived from the perspective of American Christians.

The job of the Supreme Court is to interpret the law. It is not to view the Constitution as an evolving document. For the Constitution to evolve there is a procedure called "amending the Constitution. What the right has been trying to explain for years is now being said out loud by Joe Biden.
