In today's episode, Kyle joins Becket Cook for an inspiring episode as he shares his incredible journey of transformation and redemption through God’s grace. Raised in a non-denominational Christian home in Western Washington, Kyle grew up with a strong faith foundation but faced challenges when he realized his same-sex attraction during his teenage years. Struggling with secrecy, guilt, and an addiction to pornography, Kyle’s journey took him through a failed relationship with a woman and years of openly dating men, all while feeling distant from his faith. In this heartfelt conversation, Kyle opens up about a life-changing moment in November 2024, when overwhelming guilt from infidelity led him to a non-affirming church in Los Angeles. There, a sincere prayer for God to take control and an unexpected encounter with a compassionate church friend sparked a profound spiritual awakening. Through uncontrollable sobbing, worship, and repentance, Kyle experienced God’s transformative power, leading him to leave his relationship and return to his faith. Now living with his supportive parents in Idaho, Kyle reflects on his ongoing spiritual journey, the challenges of overcoming old habits, and the freedom he’s found in his renewed relationship with Jesus Christ. This powerful testimony highlights the love and grace of Christian parents, the importance of community, and the life-changing impact of surrendering to God.

The humble hop is a vital aspect of Washington's early economic history, even if the dairy, coal, and lumber sectors all played larger and more important roles. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Yakima Valley's charming green bines—hop vine cones—that grow high on trellises contributed to the creation of agricultural commerce hubs and wealth accumulation. Beginning with plantings in Western Washington in the middle of the 1860s, the hop industry grew rapidly. The crop started to attract attention as production increased and there was proof of high-quality hops. The New York Times reported in September 1891 that "Washington is the only State in the Union where hop growing is carried on with more success than in Washington." Listen now to learn more about this fascinating Evergreen State crop!

Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin is a lunatic. // The NFL said they have ‘no issue’ with players doing the ‘Trump dance’ on the field. The ladies of The View got into a heated discussion about school choice. // A new very expensive surgery can change your eye color.  

Here are 3 big things you need to know—   One — The illegal immigrant convicted of killing Georgia nursing student Laken Riley has received life without parole.  Jose Ibarra was found guilty on all ten counts by the judge who handed down the verdict after Ibarra waived his right to a jury trial.  The prosecution said Ibarra went hunting for women on the University of Georgia campus and encountered Riley on her morning run in Feburary.   Two ---- Michigan Republican Party chairman Peter Hoekstra has been nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to be the U.S. Ambassador to Canada.  Hoekstra served two decades in Congress representing west Michigan and also served as U.S. Ambassador to the Netherlands during Trump's first term.  He was the chairman of the U.S. House Intelligence Committee during his time in Washington, DC.   And number three — Nearly 300-thousand homes and businesses are still without power after a bomb cyclone hit the Pacific Northwest this week.  At least two people were killed by the storm that slammed into Western Washington.  One woman died when a tree fell on a homeless encampment north of Seattle.  And in Bellevue, a woman was killed when a tree fell onto her home. 

The rain was falling and the wind was blowing on November 13, 2024, very much like it had done on this day 173 years ago. As many people learned as school children in Western Washington decades ago, it was way back on the morning of November 13, 1851, when the group considered to be the founders of Seattle landed at what’s now Alki Beach in West Seattle. KIRO Newsradio interviewed Ken Workman early Wednesday beside the founder's monument at Alki. Workman's great-great-great-great grandfather is Chief Seattle, the city's namesake.

Federal prosecutors have attempted to tie Indigenous political prisoner Leonard Peltier to the murder of fellow AIM activist, Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash. It is a frequent allegation that has relied on weak evidence and the charges of paid federal informants. In this episode, TRN Podcast co-host Nick Estes (@nickwestes) looks at several sources of information from key Indigenous activists who knew Leonard Peltier and Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash to the FBI's own knowledge of her murder at the time it happened and federal prosecutors' initial hesitancy to take up the case.

December 14, 2020 Intellectually dishonest hate-monger Paul DeMain has reignited his campaign to assure denial of any Executive Clemency to LEONARD PELTIER, 76, at any time before Leonard's next scheduled Parole Hearing in Year 2024 with a continued misuse and abuse of the December 1975 gunshot death of ANNA MAE AQUASH and the unconscionable exploitation of Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash's children. Assembly of First Nations National Chief Perry Bellegarde makes significant points in this 2016 article in which the 1975 Aquash death became the center point in President Barack Obama's decision to deny Clemency to Peltier: “I regret that my statement caused some hurt and pain and I apologize for the pain I caused her [Denise Maloney Pictou] and her family,” said Bellegarde. “That wasn't my intent.” Bellegarde said he still would like to see Peltier freed. He said the case is a separate issue from AIM's execution of Aquash. “I called for that (Peltier's release) because there is an injustice there,” said Bellegarde. “So I will continue to advocate for that.” Bellegarde said two previous AFN national chiefs have made the same call which is also backed by Amnesty International and prominent individuals like the Dalai Lama. Peltier was extradited from Canada to the U.S. in December 1976. Warren Allmand, Canada's solicitor general at the time of Peltier's extradition, has since stated the F.B.I submitted false information to have Peltier extradited." DeMain's posting of Aquash daughter Denise Maloney Pictou's December 12, 2020, renewed accusations against Leonard Peltier and DeMain's hated AIM organization [re-Posted here in Comment 1] are the beginning of a campaign to assure that 2020 President-Elect Joe Biden will not grant Executive Clemency to Leonard Peltier. In death and posthumously, Anna Mae has been made a sainted heroine. But between 1972 and November 14, 1975, Anna Mae's ways were AIM's ways. AIM's ways - good and bad - were without qualification or reservation Anna Mae's ways, by choice. At NCAI in November, American Indian Press Association's (AIPA) Richard LaCourse told me of his meeting with Dennis Banks, Leonard Peltier, Kamook Banks, and Anna Mae just before his coming to Portland for NCAI.. Anna Mae then had indicated no distress nor given any indication that she was being held prisoner or against her will. On November 14, 1975, the four AIM "leaders" only broke apart because of the Ontario, Oregon stopping of their [Marlon Brando] recreational vehicle by armed Oregon police. A couple days later, Leonard Peltier was transported (through Franks Landing) from Portland into British Columbia (by associates of mine, who did not inform me then of their activity). He spent the next month in the locale he was taken to and remained incommunicado with U.S. colleagues until later, at least until he traveled to Small Boy's camp in Alberta, Canada. That is where the RCMP and FBI picked up on Leonard - long after Anna Mae Aquash's death in the second week of December 1975. Memorandum in the FBI's Denver Office dated as early as December 19, 1975 disclosed Anna Mae Aquash had been killed - although the FBI would feign ignorance of the death and the corpse identity for more than the next three months. The December 1975 memos identified the killers as John "Boy" Graham, Arlo Looking Cloud, and Theda Nelson Clarke - although none of the three were indicted through the next 28 years. The Looking Cloud trial was held in December 2004; Graham's in 2010 - lapses of 29 and 35 years. Theda Nelson - a likely FBI Informant in December 1975 - (on mental competency findings) did not go to trial. Clark died at age 87 in 2011. Although a lead prosecutor opened the Leonard Peltier trial in Fargo, North Dakota on March 16, 1977 declaring: "AIM is not on trial."; both AIM and Leonard Peltier were made the main 'defendants' in the 2004 and 2010 trials for the killing of Anna Mae Aquash! If there was ever a case where all parties - prosecution, defense and all witnesses - acted in friendly collusion to 'convict' undefended and absent non-parties [1st Leonard Peltier; 2nd AIM] - the Looking Cloud and Graham trials were such cases. The fodder for the trial's conspiratorial claptrap largely was wrung from the mind and imagination of Paul DeMain in his relentless vendetta against AIM leaders and most creatively against Leonard Peltier. Many of his unsubstantiated claims were rejected by author Steven Hendricks when writing "The Unquiet Grave" (2007). DeMain "Timelines" for Anna Mae Pictou have since focused on the AIM Convention in New Mexico just prior to the Jumping Bull Compound deaths of FBI Agents on Pine Ridge on June 26, 1975 leading to the 1977 life sentence convictions of Peltier. The design is intended to prejudice considerations against any grant of parole or clemency for Peltier. Canada's Assembly of First Nation is correct in declaring the "execution" of Anna Mae Aquash and the pursuit of "freedom" for Leonard Peltier on compassionate and humanitarian grounds are "separate issues." They are correct in continuing their support for Executive Clemency through offices of both the Canadian Prime Minister and any U.S. President. What satisfaction can President Elect Biden derive from side-stepping all humanitarian and compassionate considerations for Leonard Peltier through a first term, deferring any favorable consideration to the scheduled Parole Hearing in 2024? The Pardons Office of a bureaucratic and prejudiced Justice Department housing the FBI has already failed the last four Presidents of the United States in this matter! Will retribution finally end if Leonard Peltier is still alive in 2024 and then 80 years old? Indians of Western Washington who transported Leonard Peltier to Canada on or about November 17, 1975, and Indians of British Columbia who hosted and concealed him for the next month or until beyond when the FBI first was informed of Anna Mae's death and the identity of her killers can attest to Leonard's movements and communications (record) that wholly absolve Leonard Peltier of any direct or indirect role in the December 1975 murder of Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash.
