The American Pulse E28: The Work of Life Wise Academy

E28: The Work of Life Wise Academy

 

E28 Introduction

Listeners of either one of my podcasts will know that the mis-education of our children in our public schools is, to me, one of the great harms done to WE THE PEOPLE.

The current education curriculum in public schools is not only leaving children behind in terms of intellectual development, it is leaving out some of the very teachings that could elevate and save their lives, in terms of how they align themselves. 

There is a deep sense of hopelessness and nihilism that is in much of the Marxist-inspired public education system. It was designed that way. No mention of God or Christ. Nothing inspiring to have the children stand proud of themselves or their heritage.

Never has it been more obvious that this narrative war we have all been living through is a battle for the Soul and the Globalist bulls-eye has been fixated firmly on our children.

Is this what God wants for his children and his chosen nation? I don’t think so and either does my guest today.

Today I have the pleasure of interviewing a deeply principled American. One who is in mission to help our communities and our children.

It is inspiring to hear from Americans of faith that are in action in the very areas we need them. In this case, the education and moral development of our little ones.

Today’s interview is a perfect example of how good Americans and people of faith fight back….one child at a time. Enjoy the episode.

The American Pulse E27: Patriots of Liberty

E27: Patriots of Liberty w Special Guest Michael Avila

 

E27 Introduction

One of the dynamics we have all seen is how much the establishment Uniparty distorts what is really going on in the Republican party, both here in WA and in our greater nation. Disguised as true Conservatives, this group works to undermine a true Conservative movement by any means necessary: blocking all forward movement, creating a division in the party when (truly) there isn’t one and targeting great Conservative candidates (even ones with impeccable military records)and digging and reframing to smear these good Americans by any means necessary.

Why do they do this, you ask? Because they are funded by the same sources that fund the Democrat party, thus the name UNIPARTY. They are set up to look like opposition all the while laying traps and creating distractions and diversions so WE THE PEOPLE can‘t quite see it all clearly.

It‘s not working. We the People know these Uniparty trolls by name, face, and deed. It is in their very actions and in their speech.

Which makes the whole game of putting the winds at the sails of TRUE Conservatives quite easy, does it not? We are tasked with identifying Constitutional Conservatives that will fight for US, not the Globalists/Marxists/Communists We have had enough and everyone I know in politics easily recognizes this.

Which is why I am so excited by the work my guest today is doing. A military veteran starting a PAC to identify and fund great Constitutional Conservatives to continue to serve our great nation in local and state politics.

This is a God-centered mission and we believe that God has a specific plan for America and radical Marxists or spineless Uniparty trolls will not change our destiny. We have already set sail….and with good Americans like my guest today, I for one, am optimistic. Enjoy the episode. 

Mike Avila Bio 

My guest today is Michael Avila. Michael is an entrepreneur working in real estate development, an Air Force veteran who served from 1988-1995 and one of the founders of the Patriots of Liberty, a PAC with a timely and relevant mission, something we talk about at length today. Here is my interview with Michael Avila.

AP27 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed that conversation as much as I did. What a great job Michael is doing with Patriots of Liberty. I have marked my calendar for June 27th to go down and support the Patriots. If you are in the Seattle area or anywhere in WA state, come join me. We’ll be there throwing our support to great candidates and a great cause. That is it for me and now onto our final piece, Chairwoman Jolie Lansdowne‘s wrap-up and blessing. Thank you listeners.

The American Pulse E26: Elections and Saving America

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!

 

The American Pulse E25: We are Blessed

E25: We are Blessed with Special Guest Mike Oster

 

E25 Introduction

Hello listeners and thank you for tuning into the American Pulse. We are coming off a long sabbatical (thank you for you patience as we figure all this out) and are back at the microphone with a slightly different format and a different sort of rhythm.

We will be doing episodes once a month for 2026 with a caveat. If anyone on my team at KCGOP feels we need to get on the mic and talk to WE THE PEOPLE, then that is exactly what we will do. If these times have taught us anything, it’s the necessity to be grounded in principle yet flexible in our minds and execution. What is God asking of us right now? is, I believe, a great question for both myself and the collective.

And we will have some of the same elements in that I will write the opening piece and conduct the interviews with our esteemed guests. However, we have added something new in that our intrepid, inspiring leader KCGOP Chairwoman Jolie Lansdowne will do the final piece to bring it together but also to offer blessings and grace to WE THE PEOPLE, something that is a clear gift of hers and evident to all who have watched her lead.

I am excited for The American Pulse to be a clear signal amongst the noise and choppy waters we are certain to face in 2026. I continue to feel blessed and honored to walk this path with all of you. Before we get to our EXCELLENT guest today (I really loved speaking with this man), our conversation brought two quotes to mind that I thought were relevant for today’s episode.

The first in my Scottish theologian Ian Maclaran who said:

“Be kind. For everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.”

And the other is by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes who said:

“Do not lose heart, we were made for these times.” 

It’s sure good to be back, you Patriots. Now a word from our sponsor and on to our interview. Enjoy.

The American Pulse E24: Safe Cities and Common Sense

E24: Safe Cities and Common Sense

 

E24 Introduction

You see a lot of angst around the deployment of federal troops to assist cities in their efforts to clean up the crime, arrest cartel leaders, and address the safety concerns we all see and feel in our mostly-liberal leaning cities.

And it’s an interesting dynamic to have all the cities Democrat leaders resist the efforts of the Trump Administration to assist cities like Seattle and Portland, for instance.

Will we see federal troops in Seattle in the near future? Most likely. They are already in Portland helping ICE with deportations. What will be the result of this? One question is this: Do you think that Donald Trump wants a strong America with safe cities for its citizens? I do. He has spoken about it many times and is (as usual) backing it up with his actions.

Or do you think that Trump wants our cities to continue to deteriorate. A visual and dramatic deterioration that has most of us (regardless of political orientation) alarmed and on edge.

My faith is in Trump and these moves being made. He has stated on numerous occasions that we have a huge drug cartel problem in our cities. The ICE arrests and the federal troops will certainly focus on this issue as a top priority.

The Democrats in power in these cities look foolish trying to beg off help. Mayor Harrell is already looking as such. My question to Mayor Harrell is this: when you look in the mirror and have an honest moment with yourself, do YOU even believe that you don’t need help with this? C‘mon man, be honest. You need help Bruce.

I loved this conversation with my guest today. We cover all sorts of things. Enjoy the interview.
