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.

 

 

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

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

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.

 

 

E12: The People’s Candidate with Special Guest Rachel Savage

 

E12 Introduction

Today, we have a great American story. A local hero who has stepped up to run for mayor of Seattle. A job most everyone else is afraid to raise their hands for. One of the things I have noticed about people that are making a difference right now is that they have, without exception, great courage.

I see it with the new grassroots leadership here at the King County GOP and I see it in my guest today.

For It takes courage to stand against the conformist herd. It takes courage to speak up and express your values when others don’t seem to share them all. And it takes courage if you are going to live your life to your Divine potential.

My guest today exemplifies all this and more. A woman who has taken her own path to truth, service, and leading by example. Enjoy the interview.

Rachel Savage Bio

My guest today is Seattle mayoral candidate Rachel Savage. Rachel is in many ways, an everyday courageous American. A mother, a successful entrepreneur, and a lifelong citizen of Seattle and the PNW. Here is my interview with Rachel Savage.
