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 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 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 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.

Lukas Lovett Bio

My guest today is Lukas Lovett. Lukas is a veteran that served almost five years in the Army Ranger program, four of them in special operations. He is the Executive Director of Team Academy for Veterans whose mission is dedicated to eliminating Veteran suicide an homelessness by increasing the number of successful transitions to civilian life. Here is my interview w Lukas Lovett.

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 E6: Finding Our Way

E6: Finding Our Way  w Special Guest Dr. Michael Karbowski

 

E6 Introduction

Hello listeners and welcome to The American Pulse.

Want to know what DOGE is doing and why?

Senator Elizabeth Warren is a good example of why. She has a salary of $285,000 and a net worth of (drum roll please) 67 Million dollars! Yep, you heard that right. Now, I have been an equity investor for 25 years. I have yet to see any stock market investor that can turn that sort of salary into such an outsized net worth. Not legitimately anyways. It’s really not possible unless you are grifting some how. And this sort of things is not just her but for many in congress.

A listener sent me an interesting meme that I wanted to share with you. This really goes out to liberals who have been abandoned by their own party and perhaps to centrists who only read The Seattle Times (which, of course , is full of anti-Trump sentiment).

It’s from Laser on X who says;

“Hating Trump is just going along with the conformist herd. It’s an easy, low risk /low return position. Appreciating Trump’s leadership means sticking your neck out there, standing for something. “

On this show, we can appreciate this sentiment and still keep the meta narrative on this show w that we are all Americans, as you will hear from my guest today, a retired medical doctor. Enjoy the interview!

Dr. Karbowski Bio

My guest today is American Dr. Michael Karbowski. Dr. Karbowski is a retired anesthesiologist and former head of the anesthesiology dept at Group Health here in Redmond. Michael is involved at a grassroots level as a PCO here in LD 36. Here is my interview w Dr. Michael Karbowski.
