E26: Elections and Saving America w Special Guest Brian Burnett
E26 Introduction
Hello listeners and thank you for tuning into The American Pulse. We have a really good interview today with one of our State Representatives who was kind enough to make time for us. Our conversation runs far and wide but front and center right now for me (and I think for some of you as well) are two questions: What do we do about all the graft and corruption that we ALL see? Somali day care centers with no kids stealing millions of taxpayers dollars? Well guess what? We have something to the tune of 400-plus Somali daycare centers right here in WA state. How much do you want to bet that many of them have few, if any, kids in them?
The other question that is burning for me is: can we trust the elections? Does anybody (right, center, or left) really trust the elections in this country right now? I don’t think so. And President Trump doesn’t think so either, which is why he introduced the Save America Act. This is meant to restore faith in our elections and our political process. Not only in our nation but in our great state of Washington.
Olympia will fight it all the way, no doubt. It’s a bit ironic, isn’t it? With all the corruption in the air and Democrats are going to fight a bill that simply says only Americans can vote in American elections and we need a proper photo ID. Seems pretty basic, doesn’t it? You would think.
Let me illustrate this a bit further. I can’t vote in French or German or Australian elections. Why? Because I’m not French or German or Australian. I have no citizenship in those countries, I don’t pay taxes there, so I have no right to vote there. The same common sense and laws apply right here in America. Just because you are here in our country, does not mean you have earned he right to vote. There is a clear process for that. Follow the process if you want to vote.
On another gentler note, with spring in the air, one of my prayers is for a rebirth of our great nation. That good Americans serving in all sorts of capacities will tip the scales in favor of WE THE PEOPLE and all of those that love America, no matter their political leanings. And I believe we are seeing this in real time.
Before we get to our excellent guest today, I have a couple of memes for you. And remember that after our interview, KCGOP Chairwoman Jolie Lansdowne will land the plane in our final segment.
From Laura Matsue who says “Life really comes at you fast. One day I was a leftist because I was into organic food and not taking pharmaceuticals and now I’m a far-right extremist for being into those exact same things.”
And from Etheric Echoes who says “Hope is not naïve optimism but the stubburn refusal to grant darkness the final word. It is the quiet rebellion that plants gardens in the midst of ruins” Love this!
Now, onto our sponsor and our excellent guest. Enjoy!
