America's debt continues to climb, inflation remains a threat to household budgets, and millions of Americans are approaching retirement without a plan. In this episode of Two Mikes, financial strategist Joel Lombardi, founder of Ironhawk Financial, joins Dr. Michael Scheuer and Colonel Mike to discuss wealth preservation, retirement planning, inflation, estate planning, long-term care protection, taxes, government spending, and the growing financial challenges facing American families. The conversation explores America's debt crisis, the declining purchasing power of the dollar, rising energy costs, geopolitical instability, and why many Americans remain financially vulnerable despite decades of saving and investing. Lombardi explains how wealthy families use financial planning tools to protect assets, reduce risk, preserve generational wealth, and prepare for uncertain economic conditions.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming society, but at what cost? In this special episode of Two Mikes, Freedom First Network founder and Pickaxe creator Jeff Dornik joins Dr. Michael Scheuer and Colonel Mike to discuss the growing influence of artificial intelligence, transhumanism, surveillance technology, automation, education, government databases, and the future of human freedom. The conversation explores how AI is reshaping the workforce, education system, media, social platforms, and government agencies. Dornik raises concerns about the long-term implications of centralized data systems, AI-driven decision making, humanoid robotics, universal basic income, and the worldview of the tech elites building tomorrow's digital infrastructure. The discussion also examines the intersection of AI, politics, religion, national security, free speech, social media, and the growing debate over whether technological progress is strengthening humanity—or replacing it.

On this episode of Two Mikes, Dr. Michael Scheuer and Col. Mike welcome back Jeff Dornik, owner and director of Pickax, for a sharp discussion on the explosive rise of artificial intelligence and the urgent questions few people in power seem willing to ask. From AI’s potential role in mass surveillance and centralized control to its impact on white-collar jobs, education, research, writing, and independent thought, this conversation challenges the idea that technological progress is automatically human progress.

On this episode of The Two Mikes, Dr. Michael Scheuer and Col. Mike are joined by Professor Murray Sabrin of the Mises Institute to expose how America’s exploding national debt, corrupt congressional priorities, Federal Reserve money-printing, and decades of government economic intervention have sabotaged the free market and crushed working Americans. Sabrin argues that real prosperity begins when Washington stops manipulating prices, ends its addiction to debt, and lets supply, demand, and economic reality replace the failed interventionist schemes that have dominated U.S. policy since the New Deal.SPONSOR My Gold Guy - https://mygoldguy.com/twomikeshttps://twomikes.us

Dr. Michael Scheuer and Col. Mike are joined by America Out Loud’s Paul Engel, host of The Constitutional Study, for a hard-hitting discussion on whether America can still recover the republic the Founders built, or whether “democracy” has become the velvet-gloved road to tyranny. Engel lays out how a broken education system, unchecked courts, unvetted politicians, runaway debt, foreign influence, and imperial wars have pushed the Constitution to the margins while both parties hide behind slogans of “democracy.” From the Founders’ warnings to today’s political class, the Two Mikes expose the urgent question facing America First citizens: can the people still fire the crooks, frauds, and power-hungry elites before the republic is gone for good.SPONSORSMy Gold Guy: https://www.mygoldguy.com/twomikeswww.TwoMikes.us

Mainstream narratives claim progress in the Iran war—but the reality may be far different. Joined by Jack Maxey, we break down the growing gap between official statements and open-source reporting, rising casualties, and the escalating intensity of the conflict.From questions about Israel’s air defenses to the expanding role of regional actors like the Houthis, this war is revealing cracks in assumptions long treated as unquestionable. Meanwhile, Americans are once again left in the dark—without clear casualty counts, honest reporting, or constitutional accountability.At what point do we confront the deeper issue: a pattern of undeclared wars driven by executive power rather than the will of the people?This is not just about foreign policy—it’s about truth, accountability, and the cost of unchecked authority.SPONSOR:My Gold Guy - https://mygoldguy.com/twomikes
