September 01, 2021 11:00 - 15 minutes - 10.5 MBI've made the statement before, Hate Has Consequences and we must not allow our emotions to dictate our actions. Ask yourself, where has hate gotten us? I've recorded this episode with a burning brain and a heavy heart. It is incredibly difficult for me to not allow myself to fall in to a mindset of hate after seeing what has taken place in recent weeks and the damage done by this administration. I have to remind myself that Hate got us this administration, Hate for a man because of the pol...
Episode 71: Islamic Extremism, 20 Years Later; Fighting for Minds... Conversation with Average Mohamed
August 25, 2021 11:00 - 34 minutes - 23.9 MBAs we approach the 20th anniversary of one of the most tragic days in American history, I was reflecting on what happened that day, September 11, 2001. Who were the hateful killers that shook the world by striking a blow to the greatest power and greatest country on God's green earth? I don't mean who were the killers as individuals, and I certainly will not mention them by name, but why did a handful of hateful murderers kill 3000 of our fellow human beings, citizens of the United States an...
DTH Quickshot: Jumping to Conclusions & Throwing Stones
August 20, 2021 00:00 - 3 minutes - 2.78 MBSomeone clearly did not listen to our latest episode nor did they read the show notes before they jumped to conclusions and tried to have us removed from one of our platforms. It's sad that we live in a society when people would rather silence those with whom they disagree than listen to what they have to say, or worse, demonize them due to their own ignorance. I'd rather you just email me and we can find out a better way to communicate our differences. Share this DTH Quickshot with someone ...
Episode 70: Redemption for Radicals, Shifting the Paradigm; conversation with Jeff Schoep
August 18, 2021 11:00 - 36 minutes - 25.1 MBDo you believe in redemption for radicals? Do you believe those who've once believed in a hateful ideology or been party to hateful organizations can do anything to redeem themselves? I think it's unwise to say that we cannot change the hearts and minds of those who've lead a life of hate and radical extremism. I would not be doing this podcast if I did not think they could be reached. This week's guest is a shining example of someone who has gone from extremism to counter-extremism and now...
Episode 69: Misery, Politics & Extremism... coming soon DTH Quickshot episodes
August 11, 2021 11:00 - 15 minutes - 10.8 MBI've recently had the idea to start doing some shorter, often random more spur of the moment types of episodes in addition to the regular weekly episode. There are many things that come to me each week that I'd like to share in hopes of engaging more with the listeners. Some of these may just be audio from a YouTube, Tik Tok or other platform, or some may just be quick recordings I do when something strikes me. They may just be me responding to emails or messages on social media. Either way,...

July 21, 2021 11:00 - 41 minutes - 28.8 MBDo you ever feel like the average working class American has no voice in today's polarized political climate? Are you sick and tired, as I am, of those in big government, big tech and big media keeping the average working class American silent while giving those who wish to keep us divided the loudest voices? Why settle for being a prisoner of polarization? What if there were an organization that were to give the average working class American a chance to sound their voice at the podium? Let...

July 14, 2021 11:00 - 36 minutes - 24.9 MBHave you ever wondered about those service dogs that work with our country's veterans?

I recently had an opportunity to sit down with Patti Robinson of Project Delta, a non-profit organization that teams rescue dogs with veterans suffering from things such as PTSD, traumatic brain injuries and MST. Project Delta is a team of like-minded people from around the country that share a passion for supportin...
Episode 64: Unhyphenated America, Let's Just Be American... with Christopher Harris
July 07, 2021 11:00 - 54 minutes - 37.7 MBWhat's it mean to be an American? Is America great despite the sins of the past, and if so, what makes America Great? I for one truly believe that the United States of America is the greatest nation on God's green earth, and it's high time people stop allowing divisive forces to put labels upon us, and we all just start acting like Americans again. Christoper Harris is one that knows a lot about a lot, and he knows that being an American doesn't need, and shouldn't have, a hyphenated identit...
Episode 63: Places You've Never Been
June 30, 2021 11:00 - 14 minutes - 9.91 MBTwenty Nine years ago I moved out of my parents for the first time. It's so hard to believe it was that long ago, but harder to believe all I've seen and done over those 29 years. The years have passed and many things have changed, but much of what I learned about life in my late teens and early twenties came as the result of working for my dear friends Rick and his wife Jean at their restaurant RJ's Bar & Grill in Okoboji, IA. This week Rick re-posted a quote from Anthony Bourdain (posted ...

There is way too much good in this world to let the loudest, most hateful and most divisive voices win the day. Critical Race Theory is just that, hateful and di...

Episode 52: Reticular Activating System (RAS) & The Perpetual Victim Mentality
April 14, 2021 11:00 - 18 minutes - 12.6 MBWhat is the Reticular Activating System? It's best if you think of the Reticular Activating System like a filter within your brain that can be used for good or for bad.

Some very helpful YouTube videos can be found below. Blaine Oelkers discusses "Unlocking The Screen of Your Mind" in a TedX talk Reticular Activating System explained...

March 04, 2021 04:00 - 17 minutes - 12 MBThis may not be the best title for this week's episode, but I'm torn over some things that happened this week both in my personal life and in the news. In last week's episode, Dr. Elana Fishbein asked the question, (rhetorically, not to me) "are you racist, look in the mirror, are you racist, I'm not racist, my kids are not racist". So much these days is considered and blamed on racism, yet there is very little racism in this country. The great economist Thomas Sowell said it best, "Racis...

This is a...

Do you get the feeling lately that we are being conditioned, or forced really, into a majority mentality, or else? There will come a time, when good people who just want to be left alone are forced to take a stand. I want to be real clear, I don't mean "Take a Stand" in a physical fight kind of way, and I pray it does not come ...

February 04, 2021 04:00 - 16 minutes - 11.6 MBOne of the greatest privileges we can be granted in life is the gift of having children, the gift of being a parent.

As such, I believe it is vitally important that we as those who have been privileged enough to be parents produce good people for the world we live in.

Have you ever heard the phrase, "Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones"? It's important to remember that everyone has issues, and everyone is allowed to have their own identity, and just because they are different doesn't mean they are bad. Judgemental and Hate are not necessarily siblings, but I'd have to say they...
Episode 40: Don't Hate the Haters
January 21, 2021 04:00 - 15 minutes - 10.5 MBEpisode 40, Don't hate the haters. A lot on my mind today with all that is going on in our country and the episode I had planned for tonight got pushed aside for this random stream of consciousness where I may be talking in circles but maybe something I say will make a point that can help save someone some heartache in some way. Wilk here and again, Don't hate the haters. One of the biggest battles I have to face personally is not allowing myself to hate those who are constantly trying to p...
Episode 39: Unity, Through Conformity?
January 14, 2021 03:00 - 17 minutes - 12.3 MBIn these incredibly polarized times, have you heard people calling for unity, but know they are actually calling for conformity? In episode 39 I'm reminded of that phrase from the movie "The Princess Bride" where one character says to the other, "you keep saying that word, but I don't think it means what you think it means", or something to that effect... Unity for some these days means something totally different than what I think it means. Some call for UNITY, but what they are really cal...
