Virginia has become the frontline in a growing war over constitutional freedom, and on this episode of Two Mikes, Dr. Michael Scheuer and Col. Mike sit down with Colonel Richard Black—a decorated Marine combat pilot, former Pentagon JAG, and longtime Virginia State Senator—to break down what they see as a dangerous turning point following the election of Abigail Spanberger and a fully Democrat-controlled legislature; Black warns that a sweeping and openly unconstitutional gun ban targeting so-called “assault weapons” and standard-capacity magazines has already been pushed through despite prior warnings from Trump’s DOJ, signaling what the hosts argue is a deliberate effort to disarm law-abiding citizens while politically aligned militant groups remain untouched, creating a dangerous imbalance of power between the state and the people, while at the same time advancing a broader agenda that includes radical social policies, the erosion of parental authority, and the so-called “New Look Law,” which would allow violent criminals—rapists, traffickers, and even those who attack police—to seek reduced sentences or early release, a move the hosts frame as proof of a collapsing moral order where criminals are empowered and citizens are left exposed; taken together, they argue Virginia is not an outlier but a preview of what is coming nationwide if unchecked, making this episode a stark warning about the accelerating push toward centralized control, ideological governance, and the dismantling of core American freedoms.SPONSORS:Our Gold Guy https://www.mygoldguy.com/twomikesMore from Two Mikes www.TwoMikes.us

Today, The Two Mikes spoke with Amanda Chase, who spent eight years as a Senator in the Virginia legislature in Virginia and is a former gubernatorial candidate in the state. Ms. Chase is now a political commentator (See below for her social media sites) who is seeking to regularly inform Virginians about the state’s greatest disaster since the Civil War; namely the new Virginia government led by the carpetbagger and abortion-lover Abigail Spanberger. Ms. Chase is tracking Spanberger and her regime’s efforts to make sure the Constitution’s 2nd Amendment does not apply to Virginians and thereby allow them to defend themselves against authoritarian (AKA: Democratic) governments like hers; that anti-white racism triumphs in the dominion; that new taxes will hurt all Virginians, especially the poor and minorities; and to guarantee that the Commonwealth will become the nation’s bloodiest bastion for aborting babies at any reason and at any time that the Democrats and their bloodthirsty, freak-job followers can dream up.

In this hard-hitting episode of Two Mikes, Dr. Michael Scheuer and Col. Mike welcomed back former Maryland Governor Robert Ehrlich for a sobering assessment of the Democratic Party’s entrenched machine politics and the cultural decay gripping states like Maryland and now Virginia. Ehrlich laid out, with blunt realism, how the Democrat stronghold in Maryland remains nearly unbreakable, fueled by a pipeline of establishment clones who perpetuate failed education systems, urban decline, and ideological indoctrination that produces loyal woke voters rather than informed citizens. The conversation pulled no punches on the rise of sanctuary-state governance in Virginia, warning that unchecked migration, collapsing standards, and radical social engineering threaten the livelihoods of working families who still believe in faith, constitutional order, and the America First creed. From Baltimore’s generational school failures to the national implications of one-party rule, the discussion exposed how entrenched political elites hollow out states from within. The episode closed on a lighter but telling note, with Governor Ehrlich predicting a gritty, low-scoring Super Bowl showdown with Seattle emerging on top, proving that even in turbulent political times, football remains a battlefield of strategy and grit.Follow Two Mikes on Pickax - https://pickax.com/twomikesSPONSORSOur Gold Guy: https://www.mygoldguy.com/twomikeswww.TwoMikes.us

On today’s Two Mikes, Pastor Fred Coulter returns to expose the forgotten, biblical roots of Thanksgiving—long before Lincoln’s decree or Black Friday madness—when America’s early Christian settlers regularly gave thanks to God for survival, victory, and community. Coulter warns that today’s shallow, once-a-year ritual mocks that legacy and reflects a nation drifting from God’s commandments, now ruled by elites who despise the people they govern. This episode is a wake-up call: America’s only path back is through repentance and a return to divine law.

On today’s episode of The Two Mikes, Tim James—known as the “Health Hero”—returns to expose the silent chemical war being waged on the American people through processed food, which he says is killing over 4,000 citizens a day. James blasts the lie that poor health is just a part of aging, pointing instead to our disconnection from nature, toxic diets, and lack of grounding with the Earth. He calls for a radical return to natural living, starting with detoxing, barefoot connection to the soil, and rejecting the poison passed off as food by corporate elites.

Today, the Two Mikes sat down with evolutionary psychologist Edward Dutton to expose the insidious rise of wokeism as a weaponized ideological regime aiming to dismantle Western civilization. Dr. Dutton pulled no punches in tracing the origins of this anti-reality cult, warning that its spread throughout Britain and the U.S. signals nothing short of civilizational suicide. From the collapse of Christianity to the glorification of weakness, Dutton laid out how the woke agenda is ushering in societal collapse, lawlessness, and mass mental illness. Only a return to truth, tradition, and faith, he argues, can break the grip of this neo-pagan tyranny.Follow Two Mikes on Pickax: https://pickax.com/twomikesGet your FREE Gold & Silver Guide from My Gold Guy: https://mygoldguy.com/twomikes
