Mac and Mike discuss the ramifications of the shrinking middle class. Is it a grand conspiracy or the natural result of world economic conditions? We discuss the extreme views on both sides of the political spectrum. What about an all-digital currency? We are interested in your thoughts.

Managing your expectations. Will Trump run again? This was recorded before Trump criticized Ron DeSantis. So, I've now been swayed to think Trump will announce as Mac suggests. The question in my mind is, should he?

To all our fellow veterans, regardless of party, we wish you a happy veterans day. In the final analysis, if you served with honor you are our brothers and sisters. Let us pause and reflect on those times we served together and appreciate one another.

Statistics show that fewer men are willing to marry. While this is a disturbing trend there are reasons. Women file for divorce at a rate approaching 70% versus men. When women file for divorce they get at least half of everything even when they do not deserve it. No wonder men look at marriage differently.

Mac & I are both in our 60s. We've watched the slow decline of our society. People now video a robbery instead of intervening. Some insist we share in their delusions over identities of various sorts. Many weak people are too afraid to stand up against the 2 year-olds that scream about these things. When will real men stand up together again?

What is the Holy Spirit? Some struggle with the concept. Admittedly, most of us struggle with understanding the Trinity. In 2nd Corinthians 13:14 we see the following: May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. If you are interested, give a listen to our thoughts.

Social Media is like nuclear fission. It can be used to create or destroy. I was on it since the days of MySpace. Then I took the challenge and dropped it for 90 days. That was 2 years ago. Maybe you cannot commit to 90 days. Can you commit to a month, a week or even a day? This is a challenge for you, not for me. Test yourself to see if life gets better. Maybe you will jones for it like any other addiction.

The military is going woke. Is it too late to reverse course? How do we deal with people who have "special needs" in a military culture?

Mac and I spent years in the military. We learned to remain mission-focused and solution-oriented. We also learned about teamwork which is one of the most valuable lessons. Never assume that you are the know all be all.

This week we decided to just "wing it". Not exactly like the behind the scenes but just a session where we talk about whatever comes to mind. We talk a bit more about our military experiences

Synthetic mouse embryos have been created with beating hearts and brains. That is according to a paper released from Caltech & Cambridge University. What does this mean? We are on the cusp of being able to create life from stem cells. It also has implications for humans. First is the creation of replacement organs. The next obvious step is the creation of a human being. Ethical questions will face the people working on these projects. Mac and Mike also discuss the ramifications of Artificial Intelligence. https://www.caltech.edu/about/news/synthetic-mouse-embryo-with-brain-and-beating-heart-grown-from-stem-cells#:~:text=Researchers%20from%20the%20University%20of,organs%20in%20the%20mouse%20body.

I could not resist using the same background as Biden did for his speech. Imagine Donald Trump using this background and telling America how dangerous the liberal Democrats are. Not at a campaign rally but as a national speech! The left would have lost their minds. I mean they lost their minds over much less.

We are not sure what Ultra MAGA means. If it means you want low taxes, fair trade, a strong military, secure borders, energy independence, free and secure elections, and lower gas prices along with the lowest unemployment for minorities then I guess we are Ultra MAGA.

We have been off for a while so we thought we would come back with a talk on several subjects that occurred over the past few weeks.

After the Russian collusion hoax and dozens of other lies told about Donald Trump from our so-called intel agencies what are we to believe? Sure, he is a bit over the top but compared to others his policies were great and got America on the right track. Speculation abounds about his 2024 run. Has this episode sealed his fate or made him a martyr?

A few notes are in order: We do not have the full story and may never. Therefore it is important to understand the statements in this video are based on what we know at the time of publishing. Given the history of the FBI leadership, other intel agencies as well as the politicized DOJ under Garland, it is reasonable to be very skeptical of anything that comes out of their mouths. A question was brought up on the news by Sean Duffy. Does anyone think that President Trump had any idea what was in all those boxes? Does anyone think he packed them up? Not likely at all.

It is not the obvious lies that you need to watch for. It is the things you are inclined to believe without question.How easy is it to agree with someone feeding you what you want to hear or what you are inclined to believe? Mike Kelly with Vets for Trump has been given the nickname "The Verifier" by some. Mac didn't initially realize I had hit the record button in this 10-minute excerpt. These are his true thoughts about my style.

We just decided to hit the record button with no introduction. Mac leads in talking about my extreme desire to verify things I write about. Some people may find attention to detail a bit tedious. Others find it interesting. We go on for 46 minutes just shooting the breeze.

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.

Veterans Mac and Mike ask questions about the J6 hearings. What is a hearing supposed to look like? What do they hope to achieve? Why bring in a hearsay witness that was immediately discredited by Secret Service agents that were actually there? Why continue it any longer?

This was recorded on Friday before the shootings over the 2022 July 4th weekend. It seems very appropriate we have this discussion now. There is definitely a problem with the culture of America. It is not all of us or most of us but it is enough to make people question the 2nd Amendment.

J6 Hearings - Witch Hunt or Serious Investigation? Proverbs 18:17 says:In a lawsuit the first to speak seems right, until someone comes forward and cross-examines. This Proverb from the Old Testament is the basis for our modern view of how hearings should be conducted. Why does the Bible teach us this? It is simple, everyone knows when you only hear one side of a story it seems correct. That is why I and many of my fellow Veterans are asking questions. If you were a supervisor or manager in the military you knew the one thing you had to do to get to the bottom of something was to ask the right questions. Simple.

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
