The American Pulse E17: We The Parents

E17: We The Parents with Special Guest David Spring

 

E17 Introduction

Hello listeners and thank you for tuning into The American Pulse. Sometimes you meet everyday heroes just going about your day. Such is the story of my guest today who came to speak to my LD last year to talk about the state of education and the transgender ideology that has exploded in our public schools here in WA. This combination of dropping test scores along with the meteoric rise of the transgender ideology and more and more mental illness has, from my vantage point, overrun our public schools.

Let’s be clear here before we proceed.. I am not against some poor child who is being encouraged to question his or her very biological reality. My beef is with the adults who have created and foisted these terrible ideas upon unsuspecting children and their parents who (I would imagine) must watch thunderstruck as their beautiful son or daughter start to walk a treacherous path of drugs and hormone replacement and (possibly) life altering surgery. Who created this? We’re going to talk about that today.

My heart goes out to the trans community. Truly it does and I think this is true for most of the conservative, independent, and libertarian minded Americans. We see what is being done and just because we won’t celebrate all things transgender, does not mean we are against you. Quite the contrary. We fight on your behalf. So future parents feel supported by schools and structures around them. Not threatened if they don’t go along with every crazy idea and legislative action put forth by people who benefit from widespread adoption of the transgender cult.

Ask yourself this: Do you really think Bill Gates and Bob Ferguson and Chris Reykdal care about the health and education of your children? If they did, why do their actions say otherwise? Don’t get mad, I’m just asking a question.

I had the great pleasure to meet my guest and we talked all about the state of education here in WA state. This is a bit longer of an episode but I think it is more than worth the listen. Enjoy!

The American Pulse E16: Creating Unity from Conflict

E16: Creating Unity from Conflict w Special Guest Jolie Lansdowne

 

E16 Introduction

For those that haven’t heard, Seattle recently had a clash of cultures and activism when the Christian group “Don’t Mess with Our Kids” was exercising their Constitutional right to free speech and assembly and was confronted by two groups, the LGBTQ community and Antifa, a group bent on disruption, violence and rioting.

The police were once again caught in the middle. Doing their best to keep order and give the Christian group a space to assemble without being bullied or shouted at our having things thrown at them.

Did the Seattle Times respond with even-handed skillful journalism? Ha! Of course they did not, referring to the Christian group as “fascist family values”. Who has time for all this inaccurate name calling? Isn’t everyone in Seattle and throughout our nation tired of the lies and deception of the status quo and ready for dialogue and unity and common ground?

I think so and so does my guest today. Jolie Lansdowne is our Chairwoman of the KGGOP and a woman who leads with vision, heart, and wisdom. All qualities that people from all walks of life and along the entire political spectrum are more than ready for, in my humble opinion. Enjoy the interview!

 

 

 

The American Pulse E15: An American Mindset

E15: An American Mindset

 

E15 Introduction

 

A Collectivist mindset vs what I am now calling an American mindset. These distinctions are important right now and, without really realizing it, we have been swimming in a Marxist/collectivist context.

Pushed by media and social media alike, with innocuous sounding expressions and sentiments like we just need to “do what is right for everyone” and “can‘t we all just get along”, and even the misunderstood word “democracy” give you a glimpse into collectivism and Marxism. These sugary sentiments are the lipstick on the collectivist pig, so to speak.

Remember, it’s the Globalist dream to have everyone in a Collectivist mindset and defending these values and virtue signaling about it. This makes us easier to control and sell all their bad ideas to. The anecdote to this: an American mindset with self-responsibility, a love of freedom for all, and sovereignty for future generations.

You don’t need to ask anyone for permission to adopt an American mindset. It is your God-given right, your birthright even to stand in American principles. With the Trump election and DOGE in full swing, the Globalists and their collectivist dream are backpeddling. But let’s not get complacent. Let’s lean into and express our principles to ensure future generations get their fair shot at the great American experiment.

Lastly, (before we fully swing into the episode) a little food for thought. Could we have two America’s right now? On one hand, a United States Corporation based out of DC (a foreign-owned territory and and not part of our Republic) This foreign-owned corporate entity, views you as property of the corporation and preaches Collectivism and Democracy with their dreams of a an efficient, authoritarian, collectivist control system.

And, on the other hand, the American Republic, coming from WE THE PEOPLE, standing opposed to the Corporation and aware of our God-given rights standing in our American values with our American mindset. And to make it even more interesting, is our sitting President fully-aware of this dynamic? I will tell you one thing, things are getting interesting.

I crafted this episode out of one I did a few years back on my other podcast Basecamp for Men. I made a few updates and modifications for The American Pulse. I hope you enjoy the episode.

 

 

The American Pulse E14: Team Academy for Veterans

E14: Team Academy for Veterans w Special Guest Lukas Lovett

 

E14 Introduction

Hello listeners and thank you for tuning into The American Pulse. There are few things more American than service to our country. We would have no nation without our soldiers, past and present and we would have no nation without the fighting spirit that is America. It is as vital to our history and our future as our love of freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Yet, so many of the young people that have gallantly served our great nation are forgotten once they have served their purpose. This seems strange to me. The very people (men and women) who have been trained to be mentally and physically their toughest are then left to drift. And this drift without clear direction or mission leads more often than we know, to depression, suicide, and homelessness.

Whenever an important phase in life is complete (like military service) and a new one has not yet begun, it is often experienced as a dark night of the Soul. A death of identity and purpose. And you need good people to help shine the light as it can often be difficult to find it on your own.

My guest today saw all this and created something with veterans in mind. Let’s go chat with him about these things.Enjoy the interview.

E14 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed that conversation as did. We will be tracking this development and looking to support Lukas and Team Academy for Veterans at each phase. I hope you‘ll join me.

 

The American Pulse E13: Courageous Living and TPUSA

E13: Courageous Living and TPUSA w Special Guest Rachel Anderson

 

E13 Introduction

Of all the virtues that Americans possess, I would have to say that my two favorites are love of freedom and courage. I absolutely love courageous people and I always have. I have learned so much and fortified my own courageous path by those that have shown me the way. Courage begets courage, as the saying goes.

As Americans, whether we regularly voice it or not, are expected by the world, to be wayshowers on the paths of both freedom and courage for those traits are interrelated.

It is where the left and right in our country differ. The left has been fused with a Collectivist mindset. A Marxist expression where asserting your own values and principles is seen as threatening to the hive mind of the now radical left. Everything is seen as an existential threat to the Woke mindset- a disagreement, an assertion of independence and sovereignty, and certainly any act of courage is viewed as selfish and foreign to those that conform to the collectivist narrative that is handed to them and constantly reinforced.

It is a bit ironic that one of the gifts that the far left has given libertarians and conservatives these past few years is the gift of activating our courage and convictions. For example, there was no way we were going to just go along with the insane transgender ideology (pretending that biological men are women) or go along with putting authorities over parents in the care of children. Nope. We will never go along with that. Ever. Many of us libertarians just want to be left alone but we have not been left alone. So now everyone has to deal with an awakened conservative base. It’s a beautiful thing, in my eyes. A true Hero’s Journey for all of us.

Yet, it requires people standing and modeling courage, like my guest today. A young woman who exemplifies living a courageous life. Enjoy the interview.

Rachel Anderson Bio

My guest today is Rachel Anderson. Rachel is an courageous American, a Conservative, and a field rep for Turning Point USA. Here is my interview with Rachel Anderson.

AP13 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed that conversation as much as I did. Our Lincoln Day dinner is this Saturday and I think it is all sold out. If you are wanting to join us at this awesome event, go get one of the last tickets at KCGOP.org. And if you are going, make sure you come find me and say hi.

And go support TPUSA! I can think of no better national cause than Charlie Kirk‘s visionary organization.Thank you listeners and we’ll see you next week on The American Pulse.
