  • Power, Patterns, and Perception: How Americans Experience Foreign Policy
    Jan 3 2026

    In this episode, Royal Webster and Cathy Cannon slow down a fast-moving and emotional moment in U.S. foreign policy.

    As news breaks about U.S. military action in Venezuela, public debate has quickly split between technical explanations and raw public reaction. This conversation brings those two perspectives together.

    Royal draws on his military experience to explain what actually happened — and what didn’t — clarifying the difference between strikes, invasions, and occupations, and why military force has real limits when it comes to creating stability or democracy.

    Cathy focuses on political psychology and voter perception, unpacking why this moment feels familiar and unsettling to so many Americans. She explains how historical patterns, language choices, and the merging of military power with corporate interests trigger alarm — even before all the facts are known.

    Together, they explore:

    • Why people react to patterns, not timelines
    • How “bad man” rhetoric short-circuits democratic debate
    • Why legality and process matter as much as outcomes
    • What happens when power moves faster than accountability

    This episode isn’t about defending or condemning a single country or leader. It’s about understanding how power is exercised, how trust is built or broken, and why constitutional restraint matters most when tensions are high.

    Calm, honest, and grounded — this is a conversation for listeners who want clarity instead of chaos.

    Episode: Blue Wave & the Crooks Who Keep Crooking

    Democrats cleaned house this week and the GOP is out here eating its own. Royal and I talk through the Blue Wave wins, the latest government shutdown stunt, and the fact that the crooks just keep crooking no matter how many mugshots they rack up. We get into the Republican habit of “rules for thee, not for me,” and yes—Marjorie Taylor Greene’s slow-motion self-destruct gets its own moment.

    It’s chaos, karma, and accountability, in that order.

    Meet the Candidate - Royal Webster. From the Classroom to Congress ... let's do this!

    In this special episode of The Royal Cannon Podcast, Cathy sits down with longtime friend, fellow teacher, veteran, and coach Royal Webster — who is officially announcing his candidacy for Congress.

    Before the campaign kicks off, the two talk about what led Royal to run, how his experiences in the classroom and the military shaped his view of leadership, and why courage, country, and the Constitution remain at the heart of his message.

    This conversation isn’t a campaign ad — it’s an inside look at how ordinary citizens decide to step into the arena and what it means to serve with integrity in a divided America.

    They cover:

    • The moment Royal decided to run
    • How teaching and coaching reveal what politics gets wrong
    • The role of faith, family, and service in his leadership style
    • The importance of rebuilding trust in government
    • What this campaign hopes to inspire in the next generation of voters
