What is up with this second attempt on Trump's life? It is still early, but some of us are starting to believe this is a conspiracy. Even Martin County Sheriff William Snyder mentions the idea.

Vets for Trump will continue to support Trump because it is about policy, not personality. However, we are not alone. Reuters interviewed 10 undecided voters following Tuesday’s debate, with six claiming to be leaning toward or voting for Trump and three claiming they would support Vice President Kamala Harris. Those who switched toward Trump cited the state of the economy in their decision, while four of the six said Harris’ performance at the debate did not show she has different policies than President Joe Biden.

Mac, Mike & Joe discuss the problems in Springfield Ohio and other cities around the nation with illegal immigrants overwhelming resources. We've all heard about the Presidential debate and the funny memes that came out the past several days. At the heart of this is really what the left is doing to our country.

The addition of Vivek Ramaswamy to the envisioned Government Efficiency Commission, spearheaded by Elon Musk and Donald Trump, could bring a fresh perspective on regulatory reform. Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur with strong conservative views, has publicly advocated for drastic reductions in government size and regulation. His ideas, shared on X, include executive orders for significant federal headcount reductions and dismantling regulatory agencies, aligning with Musk's efficiency ethos.

This week the discussion revolves around the socialist agenda of Kamala Harris & Tim Walz. Does the younger generation still receive this as part of their education like the older generation who lived through the struggle?

This week, before RFK Jr was done speaking we started our recording. The bottom line question is, does this help or hurt Trump? Why is he staying on the ballot in non-swing states? We also discuss the Democrat Convention.

Our government is corrupt and out of control. I did not always believe this. However, after seeing things change in the last 25 years or so I am now convinced this is NOT the America I fought to defend.

Tulsi Gabbard, once a beacon of hope for those who believed in a less hawkish foreign policy, found herself in the crosshairs of the TSA's "Quiet Skies" program. This isn't your average watchlist; it's like being put on a list for people who might just decide to take over an airplane with their mind, or perhaps with their overly persuasive political rhetoric. (note the sarcasm) Our government is out of control.

Is Walz a coward? Is he guilty of stolen valor? Vets for Trump Mac & Mike discuss this and more. Regardless he is certainly a super progressive who will help Kamala Harris ruin America.

With accusations of "stolen valor" and being the favorite of the Socialist Bernie Sanders and the Squad, will Walz be the thing that brings down the Democrats? We will know soon engouh.

What have we learned since the 13th of July?

This week we discuss the likelihood that Kamal will be the next President and if she will be the Democrat nominee. Mac thinks it is not likely. Mike, as usual, isn't making a judgment. Also, the GovTrack cover up exposed on MacAndMike.com

Mac, Mike and guest Joe Episcopo discuss the conspiracy theories around the Trump assassination attempt and present differing views and opinions.

Mac and I have talked about this before. We are not surprised at someone trying to kill Trump. It was expected. If you are shocked then you have not been paying attention. Mac has a lot to say on this subject. My opinion is brief and to the point, or as Mac would say "short-sighted." It is unreasonable to continuously spread false information about an individual in the media, supported by politicians labeling Trump as Hitler, a Russian colluder, and a threat to democracy, without anticipating a response from someone affected by Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Mac thinks it is not. Mike is not sure. Past elections are just that, past. We cannot know what would have happened if outcomes had gone the other way. We do know that America cannot benefit from keeping the current administration's policies in place.

Grok from X gave the response below but you can compare that with the opinions of Mac & Mike. Grok when asked who won the debate: Well, it seems like opinions are as divided as a pizza with pineapple on one half and anchovies on the other. Some say Biden won because he showed up and remembered his own name, while others claim Trump won because he managed to stay on his feet without tripping over his own ego. Ultimately, it seems like the real winners were the American people, who got to witness a spectacle that would make even the most dramatic reality TV show blush.

We had to cut this one short due to some technical issues. However, shorter is sometimes better. Mac and I discussed some things we have experienced as we grew older.

Mac and Mike discuss Dave Rubin's Trump team suggestions.

The TFR or Total Fertility Rate must be 2.1 to maintain a stable population. It has been dropping most places in the world. Japan started a government sponsored App to assist citizens in finding mates and producing children. Is it good for governments to be involved? What will happen if the populations continue to decline world-wide? Where to the various countries and contents stand?

OK, everyone is talking about it but here is our take as two older veterans. We have supported Trump throughout the years and still do. What will happen to America now that a president has been set for using lawfare in elections? Is this the end of America and the start of a Banana Republic? I'm afraid that may be the case of Trump loses in November.

Wikipedia defines it: Cultural appropriation can include the exploitation of another culture's religious and cultural traditions, dance steps, fashion, symbols, language, and music. The real question is does anyone take this seriously and should we?

Where do we draw the line? Biden seemed to equate something called "hate speech" with evil. Well, he might be right but is it illegal? Frankly, I would rather have someone be straight with me rather than hide their agenda. However, when it becomes a threat to my safety, that is something different.

Last week in Louisiana, the state's Supreme Court paved the way for a largely white enclave within Baton Rouge to break off and form its own city, which will be named St. George. The push to cleave off this part of Baton Rouge from its less affluent and more diverse surrounding areas has been years in the making. When cultures collide over taxes, education, and values, tensions can run high as each group may have differing opinions on how society should be governed and how resources should be allocated. Disagreements over tax policies can arise when some cultures believe in higher taxes to fund social programs while others prefer lower taxes for individual freedom.

Anti-white racism is like that one cousin at a family gathering who shows up uninvited and causes unnecessary drama. It refers to prejudiced attitudes, discrimination, or hostility directed towards individuals who are identified as white. Yep, white folks can face racism too.

Legal proceedings are often used as a tool to silence political opponents in foreign nations. Now it has come to America. Opponents may be targeted with arbitrary charges, fabricated evidence, and unfair trials, all orchestrated by government authorities seeking to undermine dissent and maintain power. In many cases, the judicial system lacks independence and impartiality, allowing for manipulation by those in positions of authority. Political opponents may face trumped-up charges ranging from corruption to treason, with little opportunity for a fair defense or due process. These legal tactics can have a chilling effect on opposition voices, stifling freedom of expression and undermining democracy. International human rights organizations and foreign governments play a crucial role in monitoring these abuses of legal proceedings and advocating for the protection of political rights and freedoms in these countries.
