The Mike Madison Show

Is War FREE?! Examining "defense" spending. Trump has declared victory on the US economy. Is our economy embarking on a "new golden age"? And should we WANT low interest rates?

Trump has sold the GOP on his One Massive Spending Bill. And just like that, the GOP and MAGA are cheering for Big Government spending and Central Planning from DC. Some even want ONE MAN to run the whole show with no checks or balances. This is the new Republican Party.

JD Vance says tariffs saved America. Scott Bessent says we'll grow our way out of the debt. I wouldn't bet on it. Where are we now financially? Is Trump really a PEACE and LOVE guy? Why is Congress pushing so hard for the states to bend the knee to AI?

This show hit the airwaves with a wildly UN-popular take on foreign affairs. Today, maybe people are catching on. The "War", what was it good for? A "victory" in an event started with lies?

It's always hard to get the truth when war breaks out. But, is it possible things aren't going well for the ones who started it? Trump calls the PM of Israel "every day". Says he's a "good man". Is this the official MAGA position?

MAGA is trying to cope with Dear Leader stoking a new middle east war. His speeches were all about the opposite. But his actions the first time around should've been noticed instead. MAGA grifters and simps are struggling to make it all OK. Luckily, many in MAGA aren't buying it.

A listener gave a review of the prior day's show. How can a show about Constitutional principles be so triggering to a conservative audience? Maybe the "principles" part is too much?

The protests, riots and looting - along with the heavy government response - will lead to only one thing...a police state in America. They are using the "crisis" and putting in place all the tools they need. And Americans are cheering it on. For now.

A few more fun facts on Palantir, our new digital overseer! Is AI going to wreck the US workers' future, or is it just hype? Team Trump says we don't need any real cuts to government - we're gonna GROW our way out of the debt mess! (But we have to borrow to stoke the growth)

Trump taps Palantir to make the US government more "efficient". A deep state created company to help the feds keep tabs on us. What could possibly go wrong?

Studies show that most people willing to conform to the crowd - even if they know it's wrong. Be a Non-Conformist. Economic Truths are rare in partisan politics. A look at gas prices and oil production. Bitcoin conference a Who's Who of politicians and Wall Street. Bitcoin profits are up, but Bitcoins mission is dying.

Summer is here and Americans heading outside will slather on chemical cocktails to "avoid" burns and skin cancer. But is that working? Or harming? Hormones and Testosterone - how Americans are exposing themselves to problems. A

The bond market is flashing potential warning signs about US debt and the Big Beautiful Bill. Average Americans WILL be affected. Mike Madison predicted LAST WEEK the Middle East Bait & Switch! And the grand new Golden Boondoggle.

I don't want to dash dreams, but you ain't never gettin' that Epstein info. Wanna know why? Trump spends big, trashes Massie. Same as it ever was. And for all our babies - we're getting a new GOVERNMENT PROGRAM!

If Americans don't start to understand economics we are doomed. And it's not looking like it's headed in the right direction. The global "elite" meet in the Middle East. Do you really think they're meeting to discuss ways to help their working class? What is presented as "peace" was window dressing for HUGE arms sales?

The Unabomber was worried about technology and it's impact on us humans. Seems like his concerns weren't unwarranted. Is Scott Bessent seriously discussing screwing US bondholders and defaulting on the debt?  Trump memecoins are making people MILLIONS! Well...58 people are making millions. The other 700K+ people are losing. This is corruption and would be obvious to MAGA if the "other" guy was doi...

The American right says they love the Constitution and hold up the founders as heroes. So, why are they so silent as we see One-Man rule taking over? Rand Paul wonders too.

Our founding fathers were extremely clear - they wanted a separation of powers so no individual or small group could become too powerful. So why is MAGA cheering one-man rule? And, what if that man is wrong or misguided and there is no check on his power?

The many health crisis that Americans face largely boils down to one tragic truth - Americans are just slowly poisoning themselves.

Is one person rule the new normal? Are the "constitutionalists" okay with that? And endless parade of executive orders - many that reach into every nook and cranny of the country - seem to be cheered on. Is Congress just not a thing anymore?

It should be obvious after centuries of the ruling class benefitting while the people are abused, but each "movement" thinks "This time is different!" Are the left and the right BOTH being manipulated by bad actors posing as "anti-establishment outsiders"?

After a week to digest what Trump is doing with tariffs, it becomes clear - as Trump says, "Not good." China trolls the US. Who would've guessed the US has fallen so far the Chinese are in a position to honestly lecture us?

Technocrats Musk and Theil are "improving" the IRS with tech. Is this what MAGA wants? Noem is rolling out enforcement of the Real ID. Again, is this what MAGA wants? A national ID monitored by DC?  

Trump's tariffs are certainly bold - but are they beneficial? Markets tank - then soar! Interest rates...UP?  Should one person control the world's economy? And, should it be Trump? Is there any chance he's got this wrong?

RFK is making headway in some important areas and sending contradictory messages in others. Time will tell if he can truly take on pharma. Keto - the healthy alternative to dangerous weight loss drugs. Corruption behind statins.
