The American Pulse E29: The Semi Bird Interview

E29: The Semi Bird Interview

 

E29 Introduction

Hello listeners and thank you for tuning into The American Pulse.  One of the defining characteristics of Americans is a courageous willingness to put our values on the line in the narrative and spiritual battlefield that we are facing. And to take heat in the process. My guest today happens to be a perfect example of this.

He is a man who selflessly stepped up to public service after a long and decorated military service to our nation. Only to be targeted by the morally compromised Uniparty donor class and their little minions in the media and within the Republican party.

He was the candidate of WE THE PEOPLE did not win that battle. However, we are Americans. We are tough-minded and hard to get rid of. We dust ourselves off, learn our lessons, and come back with greater clarity, vision, and resolve. The founding fathers (and future generations)  are counting on us to not let the Globalists and Communists have our nation.  This is neither hyperbole nor a falsehood to state it this way.

I feel honored to have this be the first interview that my guest has granted after an extended period of rest, renewal, and retrospection following his 2024 gubernatorial race.  We caught up with him to talk about all the things we care about: God, family, the American way, and serving our nation.

We also talk about the aftermath of his 2024 gubernatorial candidacy, his re-emergence in his Christian faith and the documents of the Founding Fathers. We talk about how America is a nation blessed by God and how we have, to our detriment, outsourced our authority to govern ourselves and what we can do to fix this and start to move the needle in the favor of WE THE PEOPLE.

Let’s get to our sponsor and our interview with proud American Semi Bird. Enjoy the conversation.

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 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.

The American Pulse E22: Be Who You Are

E22: Be Who You Are with Special Guest Jim Rosemary

 

E22 Introduction

Whenever I talk to everyday Americans, like my guest today, I am reminder how Americans of all political stripes share so many common values. We all want safe, thriving communities to live and raise families in. Talk to anyone in your neighborhood and you’ll see this is true.

Yet, the mainstream media who represents the Globalist Agenda, simply will not recognize all of the common ground we share with Americans who vote differently than we do.

The more conversations I have, the more convinced I have become that, to truly unite Americans, more and more of us need to have the courage to have conversations with Americans across the political spectrum.

I would like to raise the bar on the American Pulse. My original intention was to have Democrats, Liberals, Centrists, and Conservatives on the show. But I have yet to be able to talk to a Democrat. I have only asked two but the response after looking at the show notes was no.

But I am going to renew my efforts. I don’t want to turn the Pulse into a debate forum. That is not my style. But to truly ask liberals and others on to better understand their values would be outstanding I think. As American Pulse listeners please send us any ideas for this. Who do you know who is NOT a die-hard Republican that may be game to come on the show? They will be treated with the utmost respect and never belittled or embarrassed, I promise you.

Thank you listeners and now on to this good interview.

Jim Rosemary Bio

My guest today is Jim Rosemary. Jim is the owner and CEO of New Tech Web, a company focused on website development and internet marketing. Jim is a father and grandfather and the Chairman of LD 47 right here in King County. Here is my interview with Jim Rosemary.

E22 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed that conversation as much as I did. Jim is so insightful on how to unite Americans, isn’t he. Let’s all take a deep breath, step into our courage (which is an American trait btw) and go open ourselves to new people. Thank you listeners and we’ll see you next time on The American
