Episode 196: Folie à deux

Kristopher H. Bilbrey — Tue, 25 Oct 2022 00:00:00 -0400

Kris explores the French phrase "Folie à deux", which is a psychological term that means: "shared madness". Could this, &/or other similar conditions, be what causes citizens to be mad/upset at elected officials for their behavior... but turn around and still vote for them, or others like them!?

(Important Note: Host, Kristopher H. Bilbrey, is NOT a Medical Doctor or a Psychologist! However, he is... a SMART ASS!)

Episode 193: Interview #2 w/Jeff Maurer (Libertarian Candidate for Indiana Secretary of State)

Kristopher H. Bilbrey — Mon, 12 Sep 2022 00:00:00 -0400

Join Kris in welcoming Libertarian Candidate, Jeff Maurer, back to the show for this 2nd interview! Jeff is running for Secretary of State of Indiana during the "2022 General Election" (which will take place on Tuesday, November 8th, 2022). When Jeff was here the first time, Kris focused on who he was, why he was running as a Libertarian & then they took a bit of an introductory look at his campaign.

In this episode, Kris & Jeff dive a little deeper... to look at the solutions to some very serious issues facing Indiana's Election Processes! Jeff talks, in depth, about what he wants to do to make Indiana's Elections "more accountable!" And then, in a first for the show, Jeff tells Kris about something he has recently changed his thoughts on, and it "BLOWS KRIS' MIND!" So much so, that, as Kris put it, "this has seriously caused me to look at how I feel about this and I could really see changing my thoughts on how I handle this moving forward!" They then talk about the other aspects of the Secretary of State's Office, before wrapping the show up.

Episode 191: Better the Devil You Know...

Kristopher H. Bilbrey — Thu, 18 Aug 2022 00:00:00 -0400

Kris wraps up his "loosely connected" 3 episode series with this episode talking about the old Irish Proverb from the 1300's "Better the Devil You Know vs the One You Don't!" People often apply that saying to political figures... Kris discusses why that is a bad idea.

Episode 190: Criticism!

Kristopher H. Bilbrey — Fri, 05 Aug 2022 00:00:00 -0400

Being able to "redress government officials" is one of the cornerstones of the American way of life! Only now, in 2022... those in government, be it: local, state or national... have decided they aren't much up for listening to the public anymore. And they definitely aren't interested in "criticism".

Join Kris for this discussion, as he attempts to find a solution, to this major issue!

Episode 189: Death of the 4th Estate!

Kristopher H. Bilbrey — Tue, 19 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -0400

The 4th Estate is a name given to the "press/news media/journalist" that primarily covers the Government & Political Officials. Journalists that investigate and report on Government & Political Officials preform an important role in our society! They help "link" the citizens & the government together and they help keep the government "in check"... or at least, that is what they should be doing!

Kris believes, however, that we are witnessing the "Death of the 4th Estate!" For some time, bias has been creeping into journalism... and more & more, "journalists" act as "commentators, with opinions" instead of "journalist"... which, doesn't have to be a bad thing, as long as everyone is honest about it & the citizens can balance out their intake.

However, the greatest problem is, the fact that so many Public Officials have decided they are just simply not going to take criticism from... anyone, anymore! And this is where this episode takes the listeners. This is the first part, in what will be a multiple episode look at "journalism", "criticism" and how society, can better hold Government & Political Officials accountable!

Episode 184: The Pain of the Campaign!

Kristopher H. Bilbrey — Wed, 13 Apr 2022 00:00:00 -0400

The "Campaign Process", during elections, can really turn people off! It can be a real PAIN! But instead of hiding from it, if citizens would use the "Campaign Process" as a tool, it could really make "our job" as voters easier... which, in turn, can make our lives better!

Join Host, Kristopher H. Bilbrey, as he explores what we, as voters, should be looking at during the campaign process.

BONUS Episode Interview with Brittany Kloer (R) Candidate for IN HD 33 State Representative BONUS

Kristopher H. Bilbrey — Sun, 27 Mar 2022 00:00:00 -0400

Host, Kristopher H. Bilbrey, welcomes Brittany (Bridges) Kloer to the show for this "special BONUS EPISODE!" Brittany is a Republican Candidate running for State Representative in Indiana's 33rd House District (and for those that live in the District she is asking for your support & vote in the May 3rd, 2022, Primary Election). Brittany is running as a TRUE "Constitutional Conservative" and she has the full support & endorsement of the 'Perception IS Reality' crew!

Brittany is a teacher in the Indiana Public School System, and has been for 12 years... she has also been an educational legislative advocate, as well. Brittany, along with her husband, Brandon, live in Portland, Jay County, Indiana. She first ran for the District 33 seat back in 2020. Even though she came up short in that race, she still put up decent numbers for a first time Candidate, considering she was also dealing, as was everyone, with the first few months of the Worldwide "Covid 19" Pandemic!

Her first, failed, attempt and the fact that the incumbent has become increasingly less reliable, is more concerned with trying to keep his power and secure his future positions, all while, he appears to be working less & less for the citizens of his District... has fired Brittany up and she is ready to WIN the 2022 Primary Election on May 3rd!

Join the conversation to learn more about District 33's "TRUE, Constitutional, Conservative..." Brittany (Bridges) Kloer!

Episode 183: Don't Stop Walking!

Kristopher H. Bilbrey — Tue, 22 Mar 2022 00:00:00 -0400

If a candidate running for public office (or an elected official) shuts down communication during a meeting or some other form of "public business" and walks out of the room or walks away from citizens and/or other candidates/officials... there are 3 simple words they need to remember: "DON'T STOP WALKING!" It's that simple! Don't pass GO! Don't collect another tax dollar! Just keep walking!

Join Kris as he continues to examine the difference between Republicans (or those that claim to be "Conservatives") and TRUE CONSTITUTIONAL, COMMON SENSE, CONSERVATIVES!

Episode 182: Out Jesus...

Kristopher H. Bilbrey — Tue, 15 Mar 2022 00:00:00 -0400

The disillusionment with the Republican Party continues as Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey discusses a weird republican event he attended recently. The fakery was on full display as everyone was trying to "one up" each other with how over the top nice they were "trying to be!" Or the attempts to "outdo" each other with the "charity work" they do (which really calls into question the motives for doing the work.) And the really strange act of trying to "Out Jesus" each other... along with many other really odd behaviors. Bottom line, IT'S ALL FOR SHOW! But the Democrats do the same things, just with their causes. Like trying to see who's “more woke”, or “more anti-police &/or anti-constitution”, all while attempting to drive politics so far left it's not even recognizable anymore. Meanwhile, citizens like Kris, are just so tired of it and want COMMON SENSE to return... they are left dumbstruck and screwed over! BUT... they are starting to fight back against the nonsense. Can the crazy be defeated? Time will tell… but YOU are needed! Are you ready to join the fight!?

Episode 091: He Sees You When You're Sleeping

Kristopher H. Bilbrey — Sun, 05 Apr 2020 15:00:00 -0400

Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey discusses the overreach that the local, state & federal government is engaging in for "safety sake" during this crisis! EXAMPLE: the Delaware County, Indiana Emergency Management Director stated in a "Covid 19" update to the citizens of the County, on 04.03.20, that the EMA is utilizing a website that collects "anonymous data" from citizens' cell phones to see movement trending in Delaware County! He then called the results "poor".

This is MAJOR overreach! And when pressed about it... the supporters of these actions say "the feds have been doing it forever" or "the cell phone companies have been doing it forever" NONE OF WHICH IS OK! We must stand firm in saying the answer CAN NOT BE: "If everyone else is doing it, they might as well too!" It is not ok when anyone does this and we talk about this and much more, in this episode, including: does Delaware County, IN need 200 body bags or is that just "fear mongering"?

Also, what other Elected Officials knew of this and/or what are their thoughts now?

Below you will find the FULL audio/video updates from Jason Rogers where the audio clips in this episode came from:

Episode 071: Fizzle NOT Sizzle

Kristopher H. Bilbrey — Sat, 18 Jan 2020 00:15:00 -0500

Kristopher H. Bilbrey discusses the boring Democratic Candidates' Presidential Debate from 01.14.20. It had: no excitement, nothing to get folks fired up and/or nothing that makes people want to back any of the 243 Democrat Candidates battling each other to see who will get a chance to LOSE to President Trump in November of 2020!

KRISTOPHER THEN MAKES A VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - DURING THIS EPISODE!

The Impeachment Trial will be starting in the Senate on 01.21.20! We talk about that, while discussing Chief Justice John Roberts & the Senators being sworn in on 01.16.20. We then name the 7 House of Representatives Impeachment Managers!

The 2nd portion of the episode was set aside for discussion of local politics... but a decision to leave a “LIVE-to-TAPE” live recorded segment in, rather than editing it out cuts into the local coverage a bit (take a listen and see what went on)! The episode does end on local coverage!

Kristopher H. Bilbrey — Fri, 10 Jan 2020 23:45:00 -0500

What did the proctologist say to the astronaut? (Listen to this episode to find out) But back to reality...

In this episode, host Kristopher H. Bilbrey breaks down the "US vs THEM" or the "Opponent vs Enemy" type of mind set! THIS... is what we look at as the main casue of the nasty political climate that has been away of life in American Politics at the National, State and even at the Local levels since the late 1990's or early 2000's! But what is the difference between an "OPPONENT" and an "ENEMY"? Listen in as Kristopher goes over the differences and discusses how this is effecting politics in America... no matter if it is from the Bottom - Up... or the Top - Down!

It is TRULY time to BETTER Government Through Citizen Involvement!

Kristopher H. Bilbrey opens the phone lines up to hear from YOU in this 53rd episode, titled: "Impetus"! Impetus is defined as "the force that makes something happen or happen more quickly"!

We need a change, but are we willing to BE the change? In this episode Kristopher opens the phone lines to talk with 8 different citizens to look at 8 different points of view... take a listen to the episode to hear what others BESIDES Kristopher has to say about the election and be sure to share it with everyone you know!
