The American Pulse E33: Public Safety is for Everyone

E33: Public Safety is for Everyone with Special Guest WA State Representative Candidate Michelle Bennett

 

E33 Introduction

I so very much enjoyed our time with today’s guest, State Representative candidate Michelle Bennett. Of all the people running for office, you will not a candidate with more expertise on something that is on everyone’s mind: public safety. This woman has the bonafides, as you’ll hear in her bio and the interview.

In short, she is an extremely well-qualified leader to represent us in LD5.

We talk about all sorts of things today: how the police have been hamstrung from even common sense approaches to public safety, the frustration of polarization of the red and blue to the point where we can’t even talk to one another, and the policies that have left Seattle as city that people no longer feel safe in. And what we can do about it.

Let’s get a word from our sponsor and introduce our guest. Enjoy the episode !

The American Pulse E32: Standing Up for Future Generations

E32: Standing Up for Future Generations with U.S. Congressional Candidate Spencer Meline

 

E32 Introduction

Today’s guest is a great example of ordinary, proud Americans with a young family, who wants to see The American Dream stay alive for his kids and future generations. This is a recurring theme with the people I know that are running for office.

I felt an instant affinity for my guest today. We have both worked long, hard hours in the hospitality business. We are both working to see a better future in our state and in our nation. AND we are both optimistic (believe it or not), about how things are unfolding.

If there is a grand spiritual war going one (and I think it is obvious there is), then are we seeing signs that America is starting to turn a corner? Could we be going through some rebirth that is messy and ugly at times with things that are hard to understand or may even look upside down from time to time? It sure seems so.

We have come along way in recent years and I know that it sometimes feels the mountain is too steep. But Americans know that nothing is handed to us and things that are important are worth fighting for.

I don’t know about you but I can feel the collective power of all the prayers that people are delivering on behalf of Lady Liberty and all who stand with her. Our faith is being tested but our faith is strong, is it not?

Let’s keep our heads up all you patriots and enjoy the episode.

Spencer Meline Bio

My guest today is US Congressional Candidate Spencer Meline. Spencer is a small business owner, husband, and father of four who was born and raised in Washington. He is not a career politician— Spencer is a citizen who believes the next generation should inherit the same opportunities and freedoms that built this country. Here is my interview with Spencer Meline.

The American Pulse E31: American Values with Special Guest Patrick Peacock

E31: American Values with Special Guest Patrick Peacock

 

E31 Introduction

Hello listeners and thank you for tuning into The American Pulse. One of the big trends I am seeing in our state and in our great nation is more and more ordinary folks stepping up to run for political positions. And you hear over and over that the impetus is not ambition. In fact, quite the opposite. Most run because they care for our country and our state and have seen enough corruption and just plain bad results from the entrenched status quo that they feel compelled to do something.

This is true for my guest today. I have been on the periphery of county politics long enough to see that there are some really good people involved. Tireless Patriots who genuinely love their country and want to see us thrive. The problem is the system is beyond corrupted and incentivized to stay corrupt by the deep pocketed Globalist donor class that helped create and sustain said system.

It is a circular, self-sustaining model of graft, deception, and compromises. How do we turn the tides on this? Since we are Americans and most of us do not give up easily, we rely on our faith. In fact, it is only by the grace of God that America will emerge victorious out of the dragon clutches of the Marxists/Globalists that continue to push us in directions that are not American, to say the least.

Let’s be honest. It is easy to feel hopeless in times like these. I don’t know about you but I, for one, am NOT buying their cynicism and hopelessness. That is what they want us to feel. But I don’t want to let them have that. It’s the principle of the thing, are you following me?

There is much to say about this and I will continue to unpack this notion in upcoming episodes (both solo EP’s and with guests). Let’s keep our heads up all you good Americans.  I know it probably sounds a bit funny to some of you but I believe the cavalry is coming. Enjoy the episode.

Patrick Peacock Bio

My guest today is Patrick Peacock. Patrick’s family has lived in WA state since 1887. Patrick holds a Masters in Business Administration and served in the US Army for 23 years as a Human Intelligence Warrant Officer and Counter-Intelligence Agent, completing two combat tours in Afghanistan and earning the Bronze Star and Combat Action Badge. He is now running for State Representative for LD 5. Here is my interview with Patrick Peacock.

AP Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed that conversation as much as I did. Patrick represents exactly what WE THE PEOPLE are looking for in our representation. A qualified leader who genuinely cares about Washington.

That’s it for today my good Americans. Come find us next time on The American Pulse.

The American Pulse E30: Celebrating America with U.S. Congressional Candidate Doug Basler

E30: Celebrating America w U.S. Congressional Candidate Doug Basler

 

E30 Introduction

Hello listeners and thank you for tuning into The American Pulse. As we turn the calendar over and start to see the November General election coming into sight, I thought it would be a good chance to have some of our conservative candidates on for a chat so you can get to know them a bit better and hopefully earn your vote.

My hope is you see that these are really good humans that genuinely want the best for our nation and our beloved state. The mainstream media and their various minions, have done a great job of demonizing anyone that does not agree with the most radical of ideas: biological men should compete  in women’s sports,  that it is good to have light or no sentencing for repeat violent criminal offenders, you don’t have to be an American to vote in our elections.

It is interesting to note that opposing these strange radical  ideas even 10 or 15 years ago would have been right in the wheelhouse of Kennedy liberals. But the old Kennedy liberal has been jettisoned by their own party. Now, my sense is common sense Democrats are too frightened to speak up against the tide of Radicalism that has overrun their party. I know this because I have heard many of these old school Democrats express this very thing on social media.

The core question for all Americans remains. What is good for our nation? What is good for WA state? What is good for WE THE PEOPLE? Can we have an honest debate about that where both sides can express their views without being shouted down? We seem long overdue for this, don’t we?

My guest today is an excellent example of ordinary Americans that are stepping up to help us all. It is people like this that give me hope that WE THE PEOPLE (from all walks of life and political persuasions) still want to see future generations thrive in this great American experiment.

Let’s get to the interview, it’s a good one. Enjoy the conversation.

Doug Basler Bio

My guest today is Doug Basler. Doug is a husband and father, the Founder and CEO of Prologue Digital Inc. (a Washington based advertising and video production company. He has served the public as a former Vice Chairman of the King Co Republican Party and is the former President of the Eastside Republican Club. He is now running for US Congress in the 9th District, something we talk about in depth today. Enjoy the interview.

AP30 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed that conversation as much as I did. What a great Congressman Doug would be. Let’s get out and vote in November and get him over the finish line. Make sure you give us a follow on Apple Podcasts or Spotify or wherever you get your podcast content. Thank you listeners and we’ll catch up with you next time on The American Pulse.

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.

Cindy Lien-Kessner Bio

My guest today is Cindy Lien Kessner. Cindy is a devoted mother and grandmother and woman of faith who is passionate about helping children learn the gospel of Christ through the Life Wise Academy. Here is my interview w Cindy Lien-Kessner.
