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.

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 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.

E330: This is Our 1776 Moment

 

E330 Introduction

As Americans, we have an important legacy to protect. After all, our founding fathers fought and died so that we could have a chance at holding and protecting this great Constitutional Republic for future generations. To be an American is to have a responsibility to do our part, each and every one of us.

I promise to do my part, as you can hear today and I trust you to do your part. That is how we win. The Globalist establishment with their Marxist collectivist ideas and tactics, want us divided and confused. This is how they move their chess pieces down the board. Hoping we don’t notice what they have done in our schools or what they do in our elections.

They are counting on our passivity. Counting that our battle fatigue from this narrative war has left us depleted of spirit. That we have lost our American pride, our fight, our natural optimism ,and faith in God. The Marxists will fail at this.

As you will hear in today’s conversation, WE THE PEOPLE are not running on empty. Far from it. Whenever we have lost a battle, we have retreated, renewed ourselves and our faith, and come back with more wisdom and resolve. And in greater numbers.

Before we get to our excellent guest, I have a Jordan Peterson meme for you. He posted this right before our 250th Independence Day. I thought you would enjoy it.

Mr. Peterson says “To the Americans: I’ve travelled all overt the world. I’ve familiarized myself with many places, met many people. And I’m Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.

And here’s something I’ve noticed, and it’s a key element of America’s continuing greatness:  You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.

This is something that doesn’t really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies- the United Kingdom, Finland, Sweden,and Norway; Australia, New Zealand, and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands. In these places a counterproductive cynicism seems to reign.

This happens sometimes in the United States too-particularly among the misearable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.

But in your country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.

This means that more people strive and succeed in the U. S. Than anywhere else. And it’s increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.

And so I say, as all should how are fortunate enough to live the in the western world, let along America:

Thank God for the United States.

Thank Go for the wisdom of its founders.

Thank God for its faith in the free markets and in the natural rights of man

Happy Birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.

Long may your admirable country dominate the world

Long may freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.

May your two and a half centuries of unparalleled success be just the beginning.

Your country is the light of the world and the city on the hill.

Thank God for the USA.

Happy 250.”

Dr. Jordan Peterson

What a great blessing for our nation and its people. Thank you Dr. Peterson.

Today’s interview is with an American that I truly admire and respect and he was gracious enough to grant me his first interview since a retreat from public life for the past two and a half years after his gubernatorial run.  I feel honored and humbled.

Let’s get a word from our sponsor and get to this excellent interview. Enjoy the episode.       

Semi Bird Bio

My guest today is former gubernatorial candidate Semi Bird. Semi was raised by a single mother in the Bay Area of CA. He is a veteran who served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1978 to 1985, receiving multiple medals and honors for his service . He then re-enlisted in 2001, where he then served as an Army Special Forces Green Beret. Semi is a husband and father, a man of faith.

He is a proud American who leads by example and truly honors God, country, and family. Here is my interview with Semi Bird.

E330 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed that conversation as much as I did. I absolutely LOVE Semi’s new organization Empowering Washington Freedom Alliance. I am already lending my support and I encourage you to do the same. It is organizations and Americans like Semi that will help us move the needle in our favor. Kids need to understand our real history and heroes of their nation and have pride in this great country as Dr. Peterson so eloquently stated at the start. You can support the Empowering Washington Freedom Alliance at www.ewafa.org

Thank you Basecampers and we’ll see you around the fire next week.

E328 Introduction

 

Well we are coming up on our great nation’s 250th birthday and we are hosting the World Cup (which has been a smashing success) and DC is getting ready to host a big blowout celebration.

Have you seen all these Europeans, Aussies, Asians, and African tourists raving about our great nation? There is some great videos on IG where these World Cup fans are talking about how great America is. They are raving about the food and the beautiful land and the people and how gracious they have been to the visitors. Doesn‘t surprise me.

The interesting thing is that many have commented that the America they see on social media is a lot different than being here and seeing it and meeting the people in real time. Social media, with all of its Collectivist and anti-American bots can paint an unflattering picture of a group of good people or even a whole nation.

I hope all sorts of Americans can see their country through the lens of all these tourists who are loving America. America is not perfect. We never claimed it was. But to not recognize Lady Liberty and the global appeal our country, its people, our land have on the rest of the world is to be woefully ignorant of the great gift that is America.

Happy 250th America. We love ya!
