Join Kim Monson as she delves into the heart of politics, exploring the tension between freedom and force. With insightful commentary on current affairs and legislation, Kim challenges listeners to engage thoughtfully with today’s pressing issues. Whether it’s understanding political nuances or addressing global economic forces, this episode promises a comprehensive analysis that seeks clarity and truth.
SPEAKER 14 :
It’s the Kim Monson Show, analyzing the most important stories.
SPEAKER 06 :
I find that it takes work to get your brain around these ideas, and it takes work to engage in these conversations.
SPEAKER 14 :
The latest in politics and world affairs.
SPEAKER 06 :
With what is happening down at the Statehouse, I used to think that it was above my pay grade to read the legislation, and it’s not.
SPEAKER 14 :
Today’s current opinions and ideas.
SPEAKER 06 :
I see big danger in as much as we will be giving an unelected bureaucrat the power to make rules about what we inject into our bodies.
SPEAKER 14 :
Is it freedom or is it force? Let’s have a conversation.
SPEAKER 06 :
indeed let’s have a conversation and welcome to the kim monson show thank you so much for joining us you each are treasured you’re valued you have purpose today strive for excellence take care of your heart your soul your mind and your body my friends we were made for this moment in history and thank you to the team that’s producer joe luke rachel zach echo charlie mike theresa amanda and all the people here at crawford broadcasting happy thursday producer joe happy thursday kim And we have been working like maniacs, Joe, to record some great shows for next week. Great guests. And I thank you for all of your hard work on that. I really do appreciate it.
SPEAKER 03 :
It’s my pleasure. And these shows are really great. They’re really, really great.
SPEAKER 06 :
They really are. And so we’re just about to put the finishing touches on all of that. So stay tuned on that. And of course, Thanksgiving is a week from today. We have so much to be grateful for and we have so much work to do. The Bible verse to whom much is given, much is required. And we have a lot to do to make sure that we pass on this great American idea to our next generations. And so that’s why we are engaging in this battle of ideas. As you know, we search for truth and clarity by looking at these issues through the lens of freedom versus force, force versus freedom. If something’s a good idea, you should not have to force people to do it. And it’s not compassionate, and it’s not altruistic to take other people’s stuff via force. And force can obviously be a weapon, but it can be policy, unpredictable, and excessive taxation, fear, coercion, government-induced inflation. This agenda of the World Economic Forum and these globalist elites, this playing out all the way down to your local government. When you see your local municipality putting some of your streets on a road diet, you can thank the World Economic Forum and the globalist elites for that. We focus on the issues, not the personalities. We’ll mention the people that are involved with these issues, but we really work to stay out of the personality fighting because what that does is it takes our focus off of the job at hand, the things that need to be accomplished. And many times I think that this back and forth is by design, and so that’s why we have to stay really, really disciplined. And again, that’s why we look at these issues through this lens of freedom versus force, force versus freedom. If something’s a good idea, you should not have to force people to do it. So just remember that. I want to say thank you to Laramie Energy for their goal sponsorship of the show, because it’s reliable, affordable. abundant and efficient power from naturally occurring hydrocarbons such as oil, natural gas, and coal that fuels our lives, powers our dreams, and empowers us to also change our own personal climate. to be warm in the winter and cool in the summer, and it’s because of naturally occurring hydrocarbons. Now, if you need to check something out regarding your own personal climate, being warm in the winter or cool in the summer, reach out to Ben’s Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling, and you can find their phone number, which you can text or call on my website. All of our sponsors are on my website, and I am blessed to work with amazing people. Our word of the day is rapacious, and it is spelled R-A-P-A-C-I-O-U-S. It’s an adjective. It could be having or showing a strong or excessive desire for money or protection. power very greedy it could be living by killing prey especially in large numbers so of course we could say probably the rapacious wolves that’s going after livestock on the western slope or taking things by force or plundering and i would say there’s also by the globalist elites a rapacious appetite for our data, our data on everyday people. And it’s whether or not how much power you use, what you’re buying at the grocery store. And because of convenience, we are letting this happen. So we’ve got to continue to really understand this whole data collection. And we will have Virginia Maka on as our featured guest this hour, and we’ll be talking about that. She’s the founder… of Stanford, Atlanta, Kansas, and really does amazing work there. So just stay tuned on that. Our quote of the day is from James Madison. He wrote this in 1792 in the National Gazette. He was born in 1751. He died in 1836. He was an American statesman, diplomat, and founding father. He was our fourth president. And he was popularly acclaimed as the father of the Constitution for his pivotal role in drafting and promoting the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights. And he said this, where an excess of power prevails, property of no sort is duly respected. No man is safe in his opinions, his faculties or his possessions. And again, that could be at the local, the county, the state and or the national level. Running through just a few headlines, I’m looking at Newsmax on this, and this is pretty interesting on the international level. It says, Trump will ask Ukraine to cede additional territory, and Trump’s plan to end this war would give the Russians parts of eastern Ukraine that they don’t occupy, Axios reported, citing a U.S. official. As part of the deal, Ukraine would receive a security guarantee from the U.S. and Europe against future Russian aggression. Previous talks of such concessions has not gone well with Ukraine President Zelensky. So I would say stay tuned. It also says that this peace plan has surprised some of the GOP lawmakers. And so stay tuned. It would be wonderful if we could get to a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine. Next thing regarding this whole Epstein thing and the Epstein bill, once Trump signs this, Pam Bondi says that the files should be released within 30 days of Trump’s signature. And so that’s going to be super interesting to just see how this continues to play out. And so stay tuned on all of those things that are happening there. As you know, I get to work with amazing people. And a great sponsor of the show is Karen Gorday. She ran for Lakewood City Council, and I thank her for that, and was not successful in that particular race. But stay tuned. She’s doing all kinds of interesting things. But she’s also an entrepreneur and owner of Radiant Painting and Lighting. Karen Gorday, welcome to the show.
SPEAKER 07 :
Thanks for having me.
SPEAKER 06 :
Absolutely. You’ve jumped from working and running a campaign to I bet you’re very busy right now with all of the lighting that people are doing for the holidays, yes?
SPEAKER 07 :
Yes, absolutely. We were out installing lights every day this week.
SPEAKER 06 :
And the weather was nice to do that.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yes. I even had folks respond that we had lights on last year, and they didn’t re-sign contracts until Tuesday. They’re like, can you get things installed this week? And I’m like, yes, we’ll make it happen.
SPEAKER 06 :
That is amazing. That’s amazing. But I’ve got a question for you. As you know, in the springtime, I’m going to need to get the outside of my house painted. And I’ve asked you about that. And I said, I also need to get new windows. And you said, Kim, there’s really a progression of things that need to happen. You need to do windows first because of proper caulking. But what about on the inside of the house? Is there a progression of the way things should happen?
SPEAKER 07 :
Yes, 100%. And folks, don’t think about that very often. In fact, I was talking with a customer yesterday that we were supposed to paint starting next Monday. And yes, it’s Thanksgiving week, but their house is currently empty because they moved to Oklahoma. They now have a couple of horses and they’re prepping their house for sale. And throughout the last few weeks, we’ve been touching base with and they had to get drywall work done. And when I say drywall, it wasn’t just small areas. They had a flood on the inside. And so there were sheets of drywall, nine foot plus in vaulted ceilings that need to be replaced. And they needed baseboards repaired. And yesterday we were finalizing the timeline and the customer said, oh um i need to check one more thing because we’re getting our hardwood floors redone and i this is the first i’ve heard this right um and i said well hang on a second let me ask you some questions um because they were actually standing them staining them and resealing them and um they’re also having some carpet replaced et cetera. And so typically you want to have your floors, especially if you’re going from carpet to LVP, which is luxury vinyl plank. You want to have that done before painting because it may lower the profile on your baseboards. And if you paint before the floors are lowered, then you’re going to see a line where the old flooring was. And so you’re not going to want to have us come back in, scrape that line off, and then repaint. So floors typically we want done before we paint, except for if they’re hardwood floors and they’re being sanded. We want to come in before that last layer of polyurethane is put on. And the reason for that is – In order to protect the floors, yes, we can put Ram board down, but we don’t want to put any tape on brand-new, refinished hardwood floors. So 99% of the time, you want to have floors done before painting except for refinishing your hardwoods.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay. It sounds like communication is really important for people to realize that everything is connected. It’s not just painting, but all these things are connected, and you’re a real pro on that. How can people actually see your work and find all your information? What’s your website?
SPEAKER 07 :
Website is www.paintwithrabiant.com, and there are actual pictures of the work. Those are not stock photos on anything, and there’s a form you can fill out. That comes right to my email, and we’ll give you a call, set up an appointment, and you go from there.
SPEAKER 06 :
And the photos are absolutely fabulous there on the website. So, again, that is www.paintwithradiant.com. And then, Karen, next week we’ve already prerecorded your weekly update. And so I wish you and yours a really blessed Thanksgiving, and we’ll talk to you in person here in a couple of weeks.
SPEAKER 07 :
Sounds great. Appreciate it. And thank you.
SPEAKER 06 :

Rob, welcome to the show.
SPEAKER 16 :
Good morning, Kim. Thanks for having me on.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, it’s good to have you. And before we jump in, I want to say thank you to our team. And that is our other board members, Steve Dorman, Greg Golianski, Russ Haas, Bill Hamill, Rob Knuth, John Nelson, Wendy Warner, Marty Nielsen, Ramey Johnson, Mary Jansen, Dave Evans, Corey Onizorg, Paula Beard, and Ray Beard. It really is a really terrific group of people to work with on this. And we’re all volunteers on this board for the Colorado Union of Taxpayers, Rob.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yes, it’s a good group, and it’s always fun, frankly, when we get together once a month for our board meetings. And I think we all pretty much enjoy each other’s company and repartee back and forth. But anyway, yeah, it’s a good group of folk, and we appreciate the Haases and their hospitality for allowing us to be in a home environment instead of downtown and other environments that we’ve used in the past. Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER 06 :
right yeah i i think most of us are don’t like to go down town at night so much anymore and i don’t even like to go downtown during the day it seems like but we we got our ratings report done next year i i and really i’ve been the the choke point on this because it is an enormous amount of work but i kind of i needed to get my sea legs under me to understand just what it is that we’re doing exactly. And this report is really fantastic as it rates the Colorado legislature for the 2025 session, Rob.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yes, and you and I discussed that maybe we would look at several of the onerous pieces of legislation that this past year and special session uh had brought to the taxpayers and things they’ve done to us and uh when i was thinking about what we had discussed about you know what we would maybe touch on i i got looking at the report and i i took a little three maybe four uh pieces that i think helps raise awareness to what the legislators are doing to thwart the citizens’ involvement and try to be hyper-partisan in their approach to dealing with issues. And so I’d pick several of the bills that you thought we’d discuss the report, and I thought maybe we could look at House Bill 25-13-15, which dealt with vacancies in the General Assembly, and a couple others if you had time and wanted to go over.
SPEAKER 06 :
Let’s do it. Let’s do it, because that is really an important one.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, and it’s one that I personally have dealt with because our own house district here in Jefferson County, House District 23, I’m involved with House District 23. uh partisan group on that and uh these these pieces of legislation have created complications maybe some of it is good that we need to address things that had needed to be addressed but it seems like over involvement meddling by the state legislators in dealing with how the local groups handle their special vacancies in their committees and stuff. And this one, the bill introduces a, quote, major political party vacancy election that would be held during odd-year coordinated elections for vacancies occurring between July 31 of an odd-numbered year and July 31 of the next even-numbered year. So it’s an annual space. It gets down into the details of what a lot of people don’t care to deal with, probably, but At the very end of our conclusion, it says it also states that the governor can fill the position of vacancy committee fails to certify a selection within 30 days. My issue with that, it seems that regardless of partisan position of the governor, really he should have nothing to do with local or district vacancies. Committees choosing their political replacements. You know, if we don’t comply within timeframes, that’s one thing. And by default, it just goes away or nothing occurs. But to have a governor weigh in and put his hand on the scale seems to me to be over executive involvement. And that’s one thing kind of bugged me about the whole thing when I got looking through it.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, and we were a strong no on that. And this actually had bipartisan support, both Democrats and Republicans. So where we are with CUT is that we want to protect the taxpayers. Correct. the bigger government things were going to come down on the side of the taxpayer. And so we’re not partisan. And I think it’s important to understand that. In fact, it was leadership on the Republican side that had their names on that bill. So we want people to know that we are really nonpartisan. We are just really looking at the issues. And the team has really done a good job on that, Rob.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yes, correct. And we push back against whatever partisan affiliation we may personally have. As an organization, we would push back against either party when it runs counter to what we promote and what we believe is right for the taxpayers. The second one was House Bill 251321, and that one… had to do with monies from the Infrastructure Investment and Job Acts and had to do with giving $4 million appropriation to the governor’s office for 25-26 fiscal year from this cash fund with an unexpended funds being carried over to the 26-27 year. My issue with that and cuts issue, frankly, was the bill allows the governor’s office to accept gifts, grants or donations to implement the bill at the governor’s discretion, which again, it gets into a partisan conflict. This gives the governor unchecked spending power, typically a legislative role and risk partisan misuse, uses federal funds for unintended litigation and invites influence buying and And appropriate inappropriately uses the safety clause. And my just kind of thumbnail over, uh, inside on this is that I think it was the legislature’s attempt to probably try to thwart, um, national executive authority. Like we’ve seen in some of the States pushing it back against what, uh, president Trump has tried to do in, uh, making things safer and better in the States. which is something that is under his purview and responsibility to do. And this would give our state money to fight all that and waste money from the taxpayer going against the duly elected leader in his involvement to try to create safety zones, et cetera.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, and the other thing is, is that was from the Inflation Reduction Act. That was money, if I remember right, and that was money that was federal money. So some money that was been borrowed from our kids or money from other states that came to Colorado. And now they’re using that money to try to thwart executive action. And so, yes, we were a strong no on that. That was House Bill 25, 13, 21. What’s the next one, Rob Knuth, that you wanted to…
SPEAKER 16 :
Well, it was one that directly takes on citizens that are engaged and tried to correct what they perceive as wrongs from the legislative side or bills or pieces of legislation that maybe need to be addressed and put into place. It was House Bill 25-13-27, and that modifies the statewide ballot measure processes, which several of my friends directly it has made things difficult for them or more so it gives them constraints on how they can you know get citizens involved with time frame and other aspects It says the bill makes several changes to the procedures for citizen-initiated and legislatively referred ballot measures. And it passed the House and Senate, of course, and we strongly were in opposition to that. The bill is designed to make it more difficult for citizen groups to put issues on the ballots. which you would think maybe in keeping with what we talk about, that common theme of democracy, we would want more democracy and more participation from the grassroots citizenry, but that’s not what the legislature really wants when they don’t see it as in their favor. And it shortens the timeframes and adds to the administrative work by requiring updates on the number of signatures collected. So a lot of these situations, when it’s not millionaires or billionaires funding the process, it’s just we common citizenry. It just adds to the onerous responsibilities in trying to be involved in addressing what we think is something that needs to be addressed and put before voters for consideration. What Cut said is this is a usurpation of citizen rights and is something a kingship would approve. No kings, which ironically from the other side, they like using that no kings mantra. But this kind of goes along with giving them that kingship power.
SPEAKER 06 :
And, again, thank you, Rob, for, I guess, in a way, low-lighting these things. This is in our ratings report. Yes. And if you want a hard copy, join us. And you can do that by going to coloradotaxpayer.org. I am just about – I was editing the mailing list and just about have that done. And so anybody that is a member will receive a hard copy of that. And you can do that by going to coloradotaxpayer.org. It’s $25. And one of my colleagues said that CUT is your shortcut to understand what’s going on at the legislature. So it is an excellent tool. It’s an extensive amount of work. And, Rob Knuth, I really thank you for all that you do for CUT as the vice president and our team as well. But you do a lot of work, and I really appreciate it.
SPEAKER 16 :
Well, frankly, Kim, it’s my honor, and I appreciate it. And I enjoy when I’m going out to different groups in the community or talking to folks. I’m proud of CUT, frankly, the organization. We’ve got 50 years, well, coming up next year, 50 years under our belt. And there’s been a lot of positive things that have been done by my predecessors in the organization and current members, and I’m appreciative to be a part of it.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, absolutely. And again, that’s coloradotaxpayer.org. And one of the first steps to reclaiming our state is to know what’s going on. And this is one of the most extensive reports out there. And also, I will mention Liberty Scorecard. They also do a great job on rating the legislature. Sue Moore and her group. And so I wanted to mention them as well. So, Rob Knuth, I want to wish you and yours a very blessed Thanksgiving. Next week is Thanksgiving, and I’m very grateful for the people that we get to work with.
SPEAKER 16 :
Sure. Well, thank you, Kim, and happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and to all the listeners. We trust that it’s a special time for each and every one.

SPEAKER 04 :
Good morning, Kim, and good morning, Colorado. It’s been a very interesting week.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, yes. It’s been a while since you and I have chatted, so bring us up to speed on what you’re working on right now. Okay.
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, I want to first say that This week has been an inspiration to me because there are several things coming to a head here in Kansas. And one of them was a huge win for people in Crawford County. But it was the new faces that I saw, the phone calls I received and went to their counties to help them figure out how to fight against battery storage and all these new things that are coming at them. But it was the new faces that God brought to the table because you have, it can’t be the same people. And these new faces interjected a new energy into county commission hearings. And it was just, It was almost as if it was a revival of freedom. And I’m just so excited this week to have seen that, especially Thanksgiving upon us.
SPEAKER 06 :
So what happened? You mentioned Crawford County, Kansas. What happened?
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, a little bit of background knowledge. Annexation. You know, cities can always expand their boundaries financially. through annexation, and that land usually is a contiguous body of land, and it usually has a great purpose, and the community is usually for it. We now see our federal government creating a backstop. The FERC Federal Energy Regulation Commission and the Southwest Power Pool are finagling ways called backstops to jump over those things that are holding up the process of the massive expansion of renewables on the Eastern Colorado front, as well as the state of Kansas. We seem to be in the crosshairs. Our states are very similar. So this annexation process with continuous land adjoining the city, that’s a reasonable request. We are now seeing island annexation. Islands of pockets of land all have leases signed up for solar. They’re not contiguous with each other, but they’re not a contiguous boundary to the city either. So in our county of Crawford, a very moderate county, it has a One of the cities is Pittsburgh, has a university, has a population that’s pretty much sustained. They’re not losing population, declining in any manner. But a small city of Mulberry, which is probably 300 people, 200 structures, some of them not having electrical or utility service, they’ve been abandoned. Lots of homeless people living inside these abandoned structures. And the city doesn’t have the bandwidth nor the tax revenue. Came up with a plan to annex seven times the footprint of the city itself. 1,200 acres. Noncontiguous with itself. That means just patchwork of land. Nor is even near the city limits. It’s more than five miles away. And some of the land encroached upon surrounding cities. So the application has to be made to the county for the annexation to be approved. The county commissioners are the final word. Once the county commissioners give their authority that it’s okay to annex, then the use permits and the zoning and planning for that county becomes the county responsibility. So in other words, you’re jumping over the main form of government that runs your county, which is the commission, and you’re allowing a city the size of Mulberry to annex seven times its footprint, and now you’re kicking down the authority of zoning and planning to a city that has no plan, five year, 10 year, no expansion plan, nor do they have the revenue to expand wanting to take in 1200 acres for a solar farm.
SPEAKER 06 :
So what is the purpose then? Does the people, the solar, the industrial solar company, do they think that they can get these city council people or town council people to vote yes for the solar? Is that the deal?
SPEAKER 04 :
Absolutely. It’s the path of least resistance for implementing industrial solar into counties. The county… At the county level, the Commission have come into the crosshairs of the taxpayers. They’re being held very, you know, responsible for decisions on the renewable energy. The renewable energy is a huge change to agricultural use land. And so the footprint of solar is so big and the footprint of wind is so big and large that that land change from agriculture to industrial where you are now adding burden onto the taxpayers because agriculture land is less expensive tax-wise to maintain. Security, your sheriff, your fire. Now it becomes those budgets start growing because you have an industrial facility Producing power. And so the tax burden starts shifting and the industrial solar, they get tax abatements and tax credits paid by our state. And so when you serve the authority of your county commission to issue those use permits. In an incorporated areas or and zoned areas and you’re kicking it down to a city. that barely can take care of its own probably unsafe structures in their own town, that is a shortcut for the industrial solar people. So what we saw was a handful of people that were going to profit convinced the city of Mulberry to ask for annexation. And this process has been ongoing for the last 45 days. It was just a shortcut. to usurp the County commission that already denied the use permit twice. So people were very disturbed that had been working against the expansion of solar and wind in Crawford County. And this annexation was just what another way of, you know, shortcutting, uh, their, their representation. These are all farmers. These are all people out there in the rural area trying to protect their land. So when you see something like that annexation type, they call it urban sprawl. It leapfrogs over cities sometimes and developers go to unincorporated areas or unzoned areas and they develop whatever they want and later the city has to annex it because of the sprawl in between. A lot of people, their property is caught in the middle of these island annexations that don’t want solar. Unfortunately, this project bordered a section of houses that had 5 to 20 acres, very nice homes up into the half a million to a million dollar homes. And people were there because they enjoyed the wildlife. All of that would have went away. their property would have been devalued. And the loss of property tax from those structures being devalued in appraised value would have been significant. And Colorado and Kansas seem to have the same structure in governance when it comes to our county commissions, the power of local control. They safeguard property values. Both of our county commission-type governments regulate development, and they manage resources. The infrastructure, they promote taxpayers’ interest in areas. They are really there as the government closest to the people. keep chaos from creeping into city and township governments. They keep everybody kind of in line. They’re kind of the teacher, the boss. And when you start usurping your county commission authority, especially when it comes to island annexation, we could see a rash of smaller towns doing the same thing. And when that happens, You have a very chaotic, organic chaotic, really, government. People just willy-nilly doing anything they want in small towns. And these developers would have descended upon these smaller towns and we would have seen Crawford County and their commission become ineffective for the people of Crawford County.
SPEAKER 06 :
So was it the County commissioners that denied this Island annexation or what was the success of this Virginia?
SPEAKER 04 :
It was up to three commissioners to approve or deny our attorney general. Chris Kobach had already weighed in on Island annexation and creep for renewable industrial development. And so. It had to meet 14 guidelines. They held public hearings. The city councils in surrounding areas weighed in, farm or fire and sheriff weighed in on this problem. And these three people had to consider and remain within 14 guidelines of why they were going to deny the permit, the permit to, the resolution to expand. And it was a very tense pressure situation, lots of lawyers there ready to do the lawsuits, whatever, if the annexation was decided, anything other than the annexation. They couldn’t consider solar. They couldn’t consider what was going to happen to the land. They couldn’t consider the planning and zoning infrastructure in Mulberry that didn’t exist. They couldn’t consider a lot of things. They had to base their decision on 14 guidelines set out by attorney general. And when they made that motion unanimously made that motion, it gave thousands of taxpayers in Crawford County new hope that there is a way to stand up against the massive expansion on our agricultural land. And you saw a renewed faith really in county government. And sustaining our county government and protecting it is the number one thing we all need to consider when it comes to the federal regulators coming in and trying to create these backstops. Eminent domain is another way to usurp this power. Yes.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, and you know, we’ve got, well, go ahead, Virginia, your final thought on that. We’ll go to break and then we’ll come back because I have more questions for you. Your final thoughts in on this.
SPEAKER 04 :
My final thought is never quit standing, never quit. There is always someone there that doesn’t have a voice in your, they’re looking at you for courage. And that’s what we saw happen in Crawford County. And I’m very proud of everybody that came to the table. from all walks of life to say their piece and create this victory for Crawford County. But it was a lesson to surrounding counties that were facing the same thing. And so my final thought is, thank God he showed up.
SPEAKER 06 :
And I think more and more people are waking up. And, of course, the great work that you’re doing with Stand for the Land Kansas is so important. And so we’re going to go to break and come back and continue the discussion with Virginia Maka because she’s mentioned the federal government. And so I’ve got big questions about that. These important discussions happen because of our sponsors for everything mortgages. Reach out to Lauren Levy.

SPEAKER 06 :
Welcome back to the Kim Monson Show. Be sure and check out our website. That is KimMonson, M-O-N-S-O-N.com. And another nonprofit that I highlight on a regular basis on the show is the Center for American Values, which is located in Pueblo. And I would really recommend during this, when the kids are off break for the holidays, to do a road trip to Pueblo and visit the center. It will really change your life as far as looking at all of these centers beautiful portraits of our Medal of Honor recipients and their quotes and a great point of conversation with kids or grandkids. To get more information on their hours, go to their website, which is AmericanValueCenter.org, AmericanValueCenter.org. And I’m talking with Virginia Maka. She is the founder of Stand for the Land Kansas. And, Virginia, you mentioned that obviously we have either the industrial sector solar people or industrial wind people or the battery storage people. And we know that agenda, and there’s all kinds of tax incentives, and you mentioned abatements. When one entity, when their taxes are abated, unless government spending goes down, that tax burden goes to the existing taxpayers. But you mentioned the federal government, and The headlines have been that the Trump administration is taking away incentives for, or my understanding, for wind, solar, battery storage, but yet it sounds like they’re, I’m going to say, in cahoots with industrial solar in this particular issue. So break that down for us.
SPEAKER 04 :
So in Washington, Kim, we have a very significant amount of rapacious politicians and bureaucrats. And the greed goes, it’s extensive. And it’s hard for one person, like our president, to walk into some, it’s almost as if he’s in a minefield. And this spider web that they built, they pivot. They pivot all the time and it’s been, um, very hard for him to pull back. Now he has gotten rid of the tax credits that weren’t issued, but within the time he took office and Joe Biden lost the race, we saw the EPA money being offloaded into private accounts. We have non, uh, profits and NGOs, uh, to the tune of, we don’t even know How many or how much money that has been offloaded to them. So tracing the money and cutting policy that is interconnected through four or five giant Agencies, such as the energy department of energy being interconnected with the massive rapid grid deployment department. Being connected to the EPA being connected to the treasurer’s office. By the time that you go through all of those administrative offices and processes, she followed the administrative act. What you have is just a calamity of lawyers tripping over each other. And there’s just so many outs for them in different ways. They can reroute the money. And it has been significant for our president to try to stop all that’s happening, especially what’s happening on our local level, the gray area between state government and federal government, the gray area between state government and county government. We have to remember that we hold the line at the county level. The county is our strong suit, and we need to remember that become involved, run for office. I would love to come to Colorado and help, you know, hundreds of people run for county commission, especially when you have commissioners that it’s fearful. It’s a fearful job. They’re threatened every day by lawyers, by state government, by regulators. And sometimes they don’t, they’re just looking for a way out. And that’s what I found in Crawford County. There wasn’t a lot of precedence in this. This was the first try of the, Federal Energy Regulation Commission trying to create a backstop through this island annexation on a whole different level. And these county commissioners were baffled and they needed help. So bringing them help in the forms of attorney general opinions, cases, they made a relevant stand on Tuesday. And that stand was a message to surrounding counties. There is a way out of this. And if it’s not good for your county, that’s where you need to have the courage to say no. So anyway, I also had the potential on Sunday to meet in Marion County with a group of patriots, a very good group of patriots. They’re very active in their community in Marion County. They’ve been able to keep wind and solar and battery down since this onslaught. And we wrote out a eminent domain bill that I introduced two years ago and who wouldn’t vote. Who wouldn’t vote for bringing eminent domain down to your county commissions for unanimous vote. That’s forwarded on to your attorney general that has to weigh in on is this a necessary, necessary need for the people of Kansas. And then. the legal case of eminent domain can begin. And that would retroactively nullify any authority that has been given to the 400 plus entities that have eminent domain authority over it. I was there at that meeting presenting that in front of the president, the current president of the Kansas Senate, who was very receptive to the idea. Now we’ll see if he has the courage to move it forward. So that was a This will be a big thing for our legislature. And the other thing is strengthening our Sumner County, Sedgwick County, Reno County, all facing battery storage and 700 kilovolt lines of high voltage direct current that no one knew about. The onslaught never stops. Someone calls, you need to show up. And that’s what I did. So my week has been traveling around the state, but my heart has really been ratified by seeing God just light people on fire and try to protect their freedoms. And it has been a very good week for us.
SPEAKER 06 :
Virginia Maka, thank you. And thank you for that good news. And, yes, you and I will be talking. We’ve got a lot of work to do. So, again, that’s Virginia Maka. She is the founder of Stand for the Land Kansas. And thank you. And, Virginia, I wish you and yours a very blessed Thanksgiving next week.
SPEAKER 04 :
And I wish you, too, Kim, a very blessed Thanksgiving. Thank you for bringing voice to freedom on the airwaves. And I am forever grateful for your friendship.
SPEAKER 06 :
And right back at you, Virginia Maka. And our quote for the end of the show is from James Madison. He said, If our nation has ever taken over, it will be taken over from within. So today, be grateful. Read great books. Think good thoughts. Listen to beautiful music. Communicate and listen well. Live honestly and authentically. Strive for high ideals. And like Superman, stand for truth, justice, and the American way. My friends, you are not alone. God bless you. God bless America. Stay tuned for our number two.
SPEAKER 15 :
The views and opinions expressed on KLZ 560 are those of the speaker, commentators, hosts, their guests, and callers. They are not necessarily the views and opinions of Crawford Broadcasting or KLZ management, employees, associates, or advertisers. KLZ 560 is a Crawford Broadcasting God and country station.
SPEAKER 14 :
It’s the Kim Monson Show. Analyzing the most important stories.
SPEAKER 06 :
I find that it takes work to get your brain around these ideas and it takes work to engage in these conversations.
SPEAKER 14 :
The latest in politics and world affairs.
SPEAKER 06 :
With what is happening down at the statehouse, I used to think that it was above my pay grade to read the legislation. And it’s not.
SPEAKER 14 :
Today’s current opinions and ideas.
SPEAKER 06 :
I see big danger in as much as we will be giving an unelected bureaucrat the power to make rules about what we inject into our bodies.
SPEAKER 14 :
Is it freedom or is it force? Let’s have a conversation.
SPEAKER 06 :
Indeed, let’s have a conversation. And welcome to our number two of the Kim Monson Show. Thank you so much for joining us. You each are treasured, you’re valued, you have purpose. Today, strive for excellence, take care of your heart, your soul, your mind, and your body. My friends, we were made for this moment in history. And thank you to the team. That’s Producer Joe, Luke, Rachel, Zach, Echo, Charlie, Mike, Teresa, Amanda, and all the people here at Crawford Broadcasting. Happy Thursday, Producer Joe.
SPEAKER 03 :
Happy Thursday, Kim.
SPEAKER 06 :
And we’re going to have a little surprise for you here in just a few moments. But some of the things we like to get through is, first of all, say thank you to many of our sponsors. One of those is Laramie Energy. And I thank them for their goal sponsorship of the show because it’s reliable, efficient, affordable, and abundant power. from naturally occurring hydrocarbons such as oil, natural gas, and coal that powers our lives, fuels our hopes and dreams, and empowers us to change our own personal climate. And for your own personal climate to be warm in the winter or cool in the summer, if you have any challenges with that, reach out to Ben’s Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling, and you can get the information how to reach them on my website on the Sponsors tab. So again, I thank them. Also, Hooters Restaurants. They have locations in Loveland, Westminster, and in Aurora. and great specials Monday through Friday for lunch and for happy hour. How I got to know them, it’s a really important story about freedom and free markets and capitalism and those pesky PBIs that want to try to control our lives. And you can get that whole story at my website, which is KimMonson.com. Our word of the day is rapacious. And good for it should be a word that you should be able to use today very easily. And it’s kind of fun to say as well as R.A.P.A.C.I.O.U.S. And the first definition is having or showing a strong or excessive desire to acquire money or possess things greedy. Number two, it could be living by killing prey, especially in large numbers. And number three, it could be taking things by force or plundering. And as Virginia Maka said, there are those in Washington, D.C., that have a rapacious appetite for, really, I would say power and money. And again, your challenge is to use the word rapacious in a sentence today. And our quote of the day is from James Madison. This was written in 1792 in the National Gazette. He was born in 1751. He died in 1836. He was our fourth president and also known as the father of the Constitution. And he said this, where an excess of power prevails, property of no sort is duly respected. No man is safe in his opinions, his faculties, or his possessions. And that is James Madison. The text line is 720-605-0647. And Ben said, he texted, he said, I’m confused. Was the city able to rule over the county or did the county over the city? So my understanding is the county commissioners in Crawford County, Kansas, denied this island annexation by this small little town. And so that was a real win as… Virginia Maka said her website. I talked to her offline. They’re doing some fixing some stuff on it. So it’s down right now. It will should be up, she said, hopefully by next Friday or maybe this Friday. But it is stem for the land, Kansas dot com. And if you were checking that out, that will be up very soon. So we’ve got a surprise for you. And in studio is my former producer, Steve Ebling. Producer Steve, welcome.
SPEAKER 11 :
Oh, I’m sorry. I’m not used to being up at this hour. Good morning.
SPEAKER 06 :
That’s one of the things that you used to get up very early for the Kim Monson show. So retirement, gosh, it’s been a couple of years now. And do you miss us?
SPEAKER 11 :
Oh, well, you know, Joe and I were just discussing this. It’s been two years already and we’re going into the third year. But this was the best work I ever did. December 1st, it’ll be 50 years that I went into the military. So basically makes my working career years, workforce years, 48 years or so. And the years spent here at Crawford Broadcasting were probably the best in terms of doing the work that I enjoyed the most.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, and you’re a great producer for The Kim Monson Show. It really was a journey. And you were there as I was cutting my teeth on all of these different issues. And there were there were days I would still be terrified to get behind the microphone. I’m not so terrified anymore because we’re going to be starting our eighth year. But you were there basically with me from the very beginning on that producer Steve. So it was a journey of friendship that we were walking that journey together.
SPEAKER 11 :
It was. And I reflect quite often on not just the technical work that was done on the other side of the glass. But meeting people, the people that you know that you’ve brought to the airwaves here in Colorado and elsewhere, I just watch and I listen. I know that person. Every time you bring anybody on the air and I think, well, oh, I haven’t heard that voice in a long time. I wonder how that person is doing. And it was so educational. And now I politically have kept my feet in the water and work with lots of other people in the state, communicating things of what’s going on right now in this circus. And It’s just to say, OK, I like you just use the phrase cut, cut your teeth, cut my teeth on so many things politically because of doing my association with this show. And I thank you for that.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, thank you, Steve. And we truly are in this huge battle of ideas. And it’s been attributed to Stalin that ideas are more powerful than guns. We wouldn’t let our enemies have guns, so why would we let them have ideas? And ideas are so powerful. America was founded on an idea. It’s the only country in the history of societies that was founded on an idea. Engaging in these battles are so important. I know that you’re pretty active, I think, on social media. Is there anything in particular that you want to … Many times you send me over some funny memes or different things. Is there anything in particular you’d like to share with our listeners?
SPEAKER 11 :
The nausea that comes with social media. Every once in a while, you pull out something golden, and those are the ones I send to you. But just now, waiting to come on and listening to the word of the day and waiting for the definition, and you read it, and I thought, well, none of those apply to me. And then you turned it around and talked about the application to Washington, and I thought, okay, that’s the perfect word for Washington. Yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
It really is. And so we are in this huge battle. And so it’s great. And we’re going to be having, this is a pretty fun thing while you’re in studio, is that you are an expert pancake maker.
SPEAKER 11 :
I was, you know, it was funny, oh, probably about three or four weeks ago. I was thinking, you know, looking at the calendar, it’s like, hmm, it’s about that time of year. I wonder if, you know, Heather will call. And sure enough, within a day or two, I get the email. So are you ready to do this? So it’s something we started seven, eight years ago. I don’t even remember how or why, but it’s a tradition that stuck.
SPEAKER 06 :
And so you come in and you make sausage and pancakes for everyone. And so that’s going to start today at 9 o’clock. So I know you need to get to that. And you bring all the stuff in. It moves all the furniture and you bring the griddle and all that. But this came in from Susan Kochafar. She says, say hi to Steve for me.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, hello, Susan. Thank you for that.
SPEAKER 06 :
So, Steve, it’s great to catch up with you here on the air. Likewise. And I wish you and yours a very blessed Thanksgiving. And we’ll see you here in a little bit.
SPEAKER 11 :
It’s funny. Joe and I were just discussing your recording schedule for next week and everything. And all the names, I said, I bet you so-and-so is a part of that. And he said, yeah, he’s on. And yeah, yeah. So the more things change, the more they stay the same.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, and they’re really special guests. And Dr. Alan Gelso, and I miss mentioning this. Yesterday was the anniversary of the Gettysburg Address. Oh. And Dr. Gelso is an expert on the Civil War on Lincoln. And he’s moved from Princeton. He’s now down at the University of Florida. Oh, my gosh. So we recorded that, and so you probably asked about that name. I did. Yeah, we’re going to record with Bill Federer. tomorrow him too yeah and he’s and i love him in between the shows he normally has his american minute and uh so yeah you you it’s uh some of those really special guests so it’s funny gelzo we first picked him up when he was still at the uh whatever the college in gettysburg yes and then goes to princeton and now florida wow I know. I know. But it’s a great interview. So we just have to finish up with recording Alicia Garcia and Teddy. And we’ll do that tomorrow. And then we’re going to record with Federer tomorrow. And then we’ve got everything ready, buttoned up. And as you know, though, we work like maniacs to make this happen. Producer Steve.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, I no longer get the gray hairs. I’m looking at Joe.
SPEAKER 06 :
I don’t think he has them yet. So anyway, Producer Steve, yes, it’s been great to be on this journey with you, and thank you, and happy Thanksgiving.
SPEAKER 11 :
Happy Thanksgiving. Thanks.
SPEAKER 06 :

And on the line with me is Dr. Jill Vecchio. And you know her. She is one of the few people that had actually read Obamacare, all of that legislation. And she was out on the stump trying to explain to people what happens with socialized medicine. The supply goes down, the quality goes down, but the price goes up. So Dr. Jill, welcome to the show. Thanks for having me, Kim. And we have been talking about some of these different things that are of great concern, and one of those, you had mentioned, is electronic records, and all these things are connected, AI data, and then also vaccines. So where should we start with this, Dr. Jill?
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, you know, just to pick up again where we left off on electronic health records, I think the bottom line of the last show was – I mean, check to see that the information in your electronic health records with all of your providers is accurate because it’s so easy to make mistakes when you’re just checking a box or something on a computer. And now they’re talking about artificial intelligence being in the room, quote, unquote, in the room with you and your physician, listening closely, to your conversation and transcribing the information into your electronic health records so the doctors or health care providers don’t have to be bothered with that. Oh, my gosh. I mean, you know, just get rid of these electronic records, text dictating text and something. And I’ve used, you know, we have transcription where you dictate into it and it turns it into your record. You have no idea the bizarre mistakes that any transcription software makes in what you say. And they found that some of these AI transcriptions of an office visit between you and your doctor were horribly, bizarrely incorrect. One of the evaluations was this AI is hallucinating. Like it’s just coming up with stuff. And that’s frightening to think that that now belongs, will be entered into your electronic health records. Now, this is stuff that they’re working on. But I can tell you just dictating into a transcription software has been around for, I used that most of my career. And you had to be very careful going through your transcribed, computer transcribed reports. Because all it takes is for an is to For an is not to turn into an is right. That’s a huge thing. Wow. Or, you know, transcribes one medical term as a different medical term. I mean, that’s that’s that’s a big deal when you’re talking about human lives.
SPEAKER 06 :
So is anybody – it seems like we need to stop this, but it also seems like this is coming at us like a freight train. So what do you think?
SPEAKER 08 :
Like a freight train. Like a freight train. The World Economic Forum, right? The World Economic Forum is at the forefront of this drive. So you think about, okay, electronic health records came from Obamacare, okay? Right? This is all along the globalist elite Agenda 2030 stuff that we’ve talked about so much. Agenda 21, Agenda 2030, Great Reset stuff. It’s all the same playbook. And even if you folks out there may think that that notion is crazy, this is not an isolated. This isn’t just something that a couple of people came up with and the idea caught on. Because this is going on all over the world all at the same time. It started with Obamacare. We are the last country not to have universal health care. And on this World Economic Forum article that I was reading this morning, it’s like, well, we’re behind in our 2030, our goal of having worldwide universal health care by 2030. And they were whining about we’re so far behind in that because they didn’t get the United States as the only holdout. We’re the only ones left other than maybe some small countries. Everybody else has universal health care. And they’ve had it long enough that it’s falling apart, right? But, yeah, their goal is everybody in the world needs to be on some kind of universal health care plan. And during COVID, just one of the things COVID allowed or kind of forced people to do was to do everything online. So now all this data, so much information on you personally, your shopping habits, browsing habits, everything, who you talk to, how you talk to them, social media, all of that just exploded during COVID because people were isolated, right? If they wanted to communicate, they had to do it online, social media, on their phone, some digital, computer-based, data-collecting, mode of communication. So what can we do about this? Well, don’t participate as much as you can. I mean, now Social Security, I got notices for Social Security, and I don’t see anything for Medicare yet, but Social Security and Medicare, I mean, it’s Social Security. If you’re on the digital ID thing for Social Security, then it’s going to cross over to Medicare. The airport, and we’ll talk about digital ID in the future. But, folks, whenever you see the term digital ID, wow, be careful. Tell your kids to be careful. Digital ID is going to be the next thing. And it’s happening. They’re trying to get you to start it with Social Security and government programs. The airport, DIA, has all of these like posters as you’re going through security. Get your digital ID and then you can go through TSA faster. It’s all going to be about convenience. And isn’t this going to be wonderful that we’re going to have all of your information on a digital ID, maybe your phone, Apple ID. Apple just came out with their form of digital ID. On the 12th, you know, just a little over a week ago, Apple ID, it’s going to be part of your wallet. So if things get hacked, if the system goes down, if they, it depends on what they’re going to use with all the data that they get, they’re actually, and digital ID is going to contain, include your medical records, right? Your medical records will be accessible, depending on how it’s set up, but the purpose of worldwide digital ID is so that they can control everything. Your bank account records, it’s not just going to be like a driver’s license, folks, or a passport. The Apple ID is starting out using your, here, we can have your passport information in there. Your passport is probably the most secure form of identification you can have. And once you turn that over and make it digital and have it on your phone, Katie, bar the doors.
SPEAKER 06 :
So we probably need to do something from a legislative standpoint to address this, yes? Yes.
SPEAKER 08 :
If possible, yes. But the digital ID is a worldwide, World Economic Forum-driven goal. And already, several different countries are doing their digital IDs, and they have been for a few years. And there are a lot of people who then start wondering about Revelation 13, 16 to 17, where you have to have this mark, the mark of the beast, right? People during COVID, you called me once and said, people are asking me, is COVID the mark of the beast? And, you know, that didn’t meet the criteria in Revelation. But in Revelation, it’s like no one can buy, sell, conduct business anywhere. buy groceries, anything, unless you have this thing identifying who you align with. And a lot of people are thinking that the digital ID, you can’t buy, sell anything. There are in, in the UK, remember this was maybe a month ago. No, it was when I, I think it was when I did your show for you a couple of months ago. And, There was an article in the paper or an article in the news that morning or something that the United Kingdom was requiring every person applying for a job to have a digital ID under the auspice that this will keep illegal immigrants from being able to get jobs. So you wouldn’t be able to get a job in the U.K. unless you had a digital ID. Right. So this stuff is happening and we’re not even aware of it. We’re not even being told about it on any major platform.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, and why do you think they’re building all these data centers? It’s not so that, you know, you can have AI finish your email for you. That’s not the reason that that’s happening.
SPEAKER 08 :
And like the AI, now that you brought that up, all this data collection. They’re going to be using, according to this World Economic Forum article, they want to use the mass data that they are collecting from electronic health records. And they’re making models, right? You remember the COVID models? Oh, yeah, yeah. How accurate those were. But they’re bragging that they’re going to use all of this data that they’re collecting from electronic health records around the world. to determine, oh, now AI will be able to predict whether you are at risk, at increased risk for having some disease like Alzheimer’s in the future. And then they will alter what you are, like medications or whatever you’re eligible for, or what they recommend that you have for treatments or whatever, based on this mass data collection of electronic health records.
SPEAKER 06 :
Danger. It is absolutely frightening. And Susan said, yes, she said voice-to-text is terrible. It absolutely is. Some of the stuff that it comes up with is wrong. I’ll just say that. It’s just not correct.
SPEAKER 08 :
I’ve signed some texts, like I dictate. I’ll dictate a text or something, and I’ll say, you know, I’ll sign it off with Jill, right? And it comes out kill. And I’ve actually sent that by accident to people. It was chaos. I was like, ah!
SPEAKER 06 :

And to get more information, go to usmcmemorialfoundation.org. That is usmcmemorialfoundation.org. I’m talking with Dr. Jill Vecchio regarding the danger, danger of electronic health records, AI data. And this came in It says from Jenny, she said, remember, convenience is not your friend. It’s mission creep to funnel us into tyranny. She said, that’s why we need to keep cash and checks alive. And I think she’s absolutely right on that. And so how is this? I’m pretty sure I know the answer to this. But how is all of this electronic records, AI data related to vaccines, in your opinion?
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah. Yes, well, so, you know, I’m a YouTube junkie, and in a whole bunch of the ads that always come up when you’re watching stuff, M Next Spike, think about this, M Next Spike, they have all these ads. Have you seen them for the new COVID vaccine for people over 65? Yes.
SPEAKER 06 :
No, I have not seen it.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, so it’s called Mnex Spike. And they have this, oh, cute, you know, 50-year class reunion. People add, you know, everybody’s all happy. And they’re all getting Mnex Spike, you know. And then they have a Spike Vax. It’s also for people over 65. Specific vaccines for people over 65. So they have come up with this. by using massive amounts of electronic health record data on people of certain ages that got COVID vaccines. And we know that there were several different, not just different manufacturing versions, but different, what do they call them, lot numbers. So we were one big experiment during COVID. And the different manufacturers would have slight variations in their versions, depending on these lot numbers. So that this group, we’re going to experiment with the people in California are going to get this one, and the people in Colorado are going to get this one, or something like that, or even more minute, you know, microscopically managed than that. So we’re finding out all this stuff about what they did with the COVID vaccine. And they were just collecting data this whole time, which age groups are at what risk for what this and all. You know, it was it was the use of electronic health records and these these the oh, the you know, the. oh, the models or the scientific modeling and all that junk. So now they’re starting to specify, now, why do 65-year-olds need a different version of a COVID vaccine? And they don’t just have one other version. They have two other versions. One’s a higher dose than the other, and the other one is more specific down to a couple of proteins or something. So that sounds to me like an experiment. Like they don’t know which one is better. So they’re just going to flood the public with one or two of these vaccines because it’s the same criteria for the indications for both vaccines. Why? That’s weird. Why are babies given the same dose? as an 11-year-old kid. A six-month-old baby gets the same dose as an 11-year-old kid of a COVID vaccine.
SPEAKER 06 :
And we shouldn’t be giving, from at least all the research, all the conversations that I’ve had, children should not be, they’re not at risk.
SPEAKER 08 :
Why are we giving newborns hepatitis B vaccines?
SPEAKER 06 :
I know.
SPEAKER 08 :
I know, you know, makes no sense. So all of this, all of this is related to electronic health records. The massive data collection pretty soon. It’s not going to matter because they’re trying to replace doctors. part of the ai in health care and now they have ai that does a better job than radiologists in reading brain they said brain scans and it’s like well clearly the person writing this has no idea what they’re talking about because it’s not like a brain scan okay are you talking about ct and mr uh an ekg or an eeg what exactly kind of a scan are you talking about here so But with the limited information of this reporter, they’re bragging that AI can read different radiology studies. They can find fractures more accurately than an urgent care doctor. Yeah, that’s not setting the bar real high, okay? So nothing against urgent care doctors, but they’re not trained in radiology, right? So it’s… They’re using the wrong criteria to determine what makes AI good. The scary thing is AI is completely inaccurate in so many things. And we’ve been using like computer-aided diagnostic software in mammography for 35, at least 35 years or so. I mean, that was the first thing that came out, computer-aided diagnostic software for mammography. Well, a bunch of doctors who didn’t like reading mammograms because it is difficult and it’s tedious and it’s a ton of work and it’s a little harrowing because you’re reading like maybe 100 mammograms a day at least. And if they don’t like mammography, then they were all excited to have a computer tell them whether or not there was something to worry about on a mammogram. Well, that computer stuff was a perception device only, and it was incredibly, insanely inaccurate. But they could charge for it. They could charge the patient for it. So they did, you know, and they made a bunch of money on computer aided diagnosis that was absolutely worthless. The studies showed it was incredible, so impressive. And then once you started using it, you’re like, this is useless. In fact, this is worse than nothing at all, because it was just it was flagging things as as worrisome for cancer that were just like hardening of the arteries, calcification in the arteries in the breast. Believe it or not, yeah, you get the breast. Anyway, but it’s like, yeah, it can look like a cancer because it meets certain little bits of criteria. But the second a radiologist looks at it, they’re like, that’s ridiculous. That’s vascular. That’s in the arteries. Why did it flag that?
SPEAKER 06 :
So AI can be a tool, but it cannot be a replacement. And I think we’re probably… in a position right now where we’re seeing those trying to have it replace human interaction. But I think that we will walk through this and realize that we’re going to be returning back to human interaction. For example, kids that have been using AI for their papers for college. My understanding is now that professors are You know, having them do these papers in, you know, in the classroom or they’re pushing back so that we will have, you know, humans thinking about these things. People don’t want to be reading a book that’s been written by AI. They want to read a book that’s been written by a human. And so I think that we’re in an interesting time right now. Jill, but I think that I well, I think over time we will realize that it’s a tool, but it can’t be cannot be a replacement. Your final thought on all this, Jill, this is so important. And I already have the subject that I want to talk with you about next month. And that is one of my friends on a group text said that her health care premiums were going up, I think, like 16 percent. some solution and some messaging around this, they’re going to lose elections. And so I know you’ve worked on the messaging on this and solutions ever since I’ve known you. So I think that’ll be a good thing for us to talk about.
SPEAKER 08 :
Absolutely. Yeah, because that is an update is this new announcement of increasing in Republicans. They’re not going to do anything about it. They make too much money off of off of the whole process. That’s the hard thing. So, yes, definitely. Let’s let’s look at that. I think the one thing with electronic health records, AI and health care and digital IDs, understand these are all part of the same thing. They are all part of the same routine to get everything digital. Remember the Canadian truckers, right? If you’re going to have all of this information on a single ID or maybe all on your phone, like in China, where you can’t buy or sell anything without your phone, everything goes through your phone. Well, you know, anytime something is, you know, you ever put your eggs in one basket, never trust anything that is, digital or in the cloud, and all these things are programmable. Mistakes can be made, wrong information can be put in, and it can change your life. If you say the wrong thing and the government decides to shut off your bank account because you have a digital ID, and we can talk more about the digital IDs over time, but people need to start thinking about this because you’re starting to see a lot more of these signs. Get your digital ID, Social Security, sign up for this, facial recognition, blah, blah, blah, all these biometrics.
SPEAKER 06 :
Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Hey, we do have a quick question. This came in, a quick question to finish this up. It says, ask Jill if we are to trust Cologuard. I’m pretty certain they’re collecting DNA with those nose swabs. I’m not familiar with Cologuard.
SPEAKER 08 :
I’m not sure what Cologuard is. I hate going to the doctor. I avoid them at all costs. Is Cologuard, is that one of those? Like a stool sample?
SPEAKER 06 :
No.
SPEAKER 08 :
Like for colon cancer? Because you send that in somewhere.
SPEAKER 06 :
We’ll try to get the answer on that. So we’ll just leave that hanging out there as well. Dr. Jill, as always, we learn so much. We’ll talk with you next month and wishing you and yours a very happy Thanksgiving.
SPEAKER 08 :
And happy Thanksgiving to everybody out there. Be safe and you control your data. You control your information.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yep, and we’re going to continue to work on that. And again, that’s Dr. Jill Vecchio. These discussions happen because of our sponsors. And if you’ve been injured, reach out to John Bozen and Bozen Law.

and welcome back to the kim monson show check out our website that is kim monson m-o-n-s-o-n.com also check out the website for the center for american values a great gift for hanukkah or christmas would be their medal of honor quote book that they’ve put together And I always highlight a quote from the Medal of Honor quote book on Fridays. But it’s a lovely gift. It’s a conversation starter. And you can order that by going to their website, which is AmericanValueCenter.org, AmericanValueCenter.org. There is a very important event this evening up in Fort Collins. And Remy Johnson and I are planning on going. attending that. And it’s From Heartbreak to Hope, Protecting Kids from Irreversible Sex Changes. And on the line with me is one of the speakers, and that is Dr. Travis Morrell. Dr. Morrell, welcome.
SPEAKER 18 :
Thank you, Kim. Thank you and your listeners for this time.
SPEAKER 06 :
So this is an important event this evening and a pretty impressive lineup of speakers, Dr. Morrell. But before we get into this, if people have not heard you on the show before, share your journey to get to where you are. You are the Do No Harm Senior Fellow and the Colorado Principal Physician’s President. So tell us about your journey.
SPEAKER 18 :
That’s right. So, man, 12 or 13 years ago, before people were giving out cookies for making everybody trans, I was just a normal doctor. And when I had patients that came and they were already on hormones, I would continue them, adult patients, cross-sex hormones, and even helped out and presented with some surgical repair in this field. And I was kind of struck by, you know, it seemed like there was a lot of science as far as there’s all these medical organizations, even at the time for adults. And I was always struck that even so that all the adults had a lot of pretty serious side effects. I trained in different fields. I moved in different fields. And when I heard that they were starting to do it to kids, it’s very easy for anybody that went through med school, and I would argue for any adult who went through puberty, to know that you probably shouldn’t put kids through a fake puberty and stop their natural development of puberty. their brain and their sex organs and their breasts and everything. And so I was shocked that people were doing this. I looked more into it. There wasn’t research to back it up. And there is evidence of harm. And that’s why Protect Kids Colorado is seeking to protect kids under 18 for making permanent decisions via surgery of their reproductive organs or their breasts.
SPEAKER 06 :
And this is we’ve had lots of conversations about this. This is a real can be a real moneymaker for doctors and pharmaceutical companies, because for the life of me, I cannot believe that that we in this society in 2025 are actually allowing children to have their adolescents have their breasts cut off, their penises cut off. In the old days, Dr. Morrell, if bad guys came into town and lined our kids up and maimed them like that, we would have made sure that justice was served on that. And here we are now doing this in 2025 America. It’s unbelievable to me, Dr. Morrell.
SPEAKER 18 :
It is hard to believe. We are really against Chinese foot binding. If a doctor did liposuction to your kid who was anorexic, who thought she should be thinner, and they were unhealthily thin, we sucked out their fat. These are all things that we all just know we just shouldn’t do. And doctors have gotten up in arms about these kind of things in other countries. There’s something called female genital mutilation that we never did any studies on. We knew it was wrong. It is wrong. And we have always been very active against that as doctors. But for some reason… This kind of passed by, and I hate to say that there is a money motivation for some doctors, some medical organizations, and then some of these prescriptions that patients can be on, they run for $25,000 or $50,000 every six months or so, and I’ve seen bills from parents that have been over $150,000 paid just for one prescription. So unfortunately, there’s a huge profit motive and a lot of doctors are scared to speak up because on the other side, the carrot and the stick side, the stick side is they threaten your livelihood if you don’t want this to go on for kids.
SPEAKER 06 :
Wow. So this event this evening, Protect Kids Colorado, is one of the sponsors on this, and it’s From Heartbreak to Hope. The keynote speaker is Dr. James Lindsay, and he’s a best-selling author and philosopher and national expert on critical theory. And then Erin Friday, who is president of Our Duty and a mother who saved her child from a gender cult. Antoinette De La Cruz, and we had her on today. Last week, you and Aaron Lee. So this is really a star-studded group of speakers regarding this important issue, Dr. Morrell.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, it’s going to be very exciting for people to be there, to feel the energy in the room, to meet so many other people, like I know that you’re going to try to make it, so many other people that are leading out and fighting in their community. It’s going to be a very encouraging time for people to see all these people, their neighbors there, and then to hear from the speakers that you named. Antoinette, a Colorado detransitioner, has a very powerful story. She just wrote up in the Rocky Mountain Voice, and I am moved every time I hear her speak. We’re just so fortunate to have people like James Lindsay and Aaron Friday from out of state. It’s a great opportunity in my old hometown, and I hope everybody can make it.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, and so the event is 6 to 8 this evening, doors open at 5.30, and it’s at Dayspring Christian Church, which is 8005 Highland Meadows Parkway in Fort Collins. And I had texted Erin and said, do we need to get tickets? It doesn’t cost anything, but how can people get tickets to this? She said it just helps with…
SPEAKER 18 :
knowing about the crowd and security and that so how what’s the best way for people to get tickets for this dr morell if they could go to protectkidscolorado.org protectkidscolorado.org and uh try to find and or the best way probably be to follow on if you have x or twitter to follow aaron lee at aaron for the number four parents aaron for parents and uh we have lots of links there but it’s also um on the protect kids colorado website and And this church is really easy for people in Denver. It’s on the south end of Fort Collins. It’s right off I-25. So you don’t even have to get all the way into Fort Collins at all. It’s not too far from y’all.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay. And this is a very… We have a duty, and I thank you and all those that you’re working with to step forward to protect our children. I was down testifying regarding one of the bills, and you were there as well, and you were testifying. I think you were on… came in via electronics. But this legislature, there are, this Colorado legislature, these Democrats are not the Democrat party of JFK or your grandpa or your grandma. There are those in this legislature that this is their issue to push and protect those that are doing these kinds of things to kids. And I think it’s important for people to understand that. A lot of folks You don’t even really realize this is going on. And when you explain it, they kind of look at you like you’re crazy. That’s crazy. But this legislature is really pushing this agenda, or I would say protecting this agenda to maim our children. Maim, and I say M-A-I-M, maim our children down at the legislature. Your thought about this legislature, Dr. Morrell?
SPEAKER 18 :
Well, I go down there virtually a lot, and they have explicitly said, representatives from their seats, that they’re going to go even harder on this kind of stuff next year. Most people don’t realize, like, yeah, no, we have had mastectomies as young as 12 in the state. I mean, it was advertised this year at 15 and 16. It’s legal now. at any age. This year, Jared Polis signed something that said, every insurance company has to pay for this kind of stuff, and there’s no age limit. It’s just going to get worse and worse every year. It’s more and more dangerous for kids every year. We just want to have them a fair chance to grow up these vulnerable and often suffering kids. Love it. If you want to protect kids, Colorado.org on the events page has free registration.
SPEAKER 06 :
And one other thing, so Protect Kids Colorado is trying to get these ballot questions onto the ballot, and if people have not signed those petitions, I think there probably will be an opportunity tonight as well, correct, Dr. Morrell?
SPEAKER 18 :
Yes, definitely. And that’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get a ballot initiative to protect kids from this that are 18. I mean, kids, this has happened to kids on cable TV at age 17. So we want people to have a chance to protect their kids and their neighbor’s kids tonight with that signature. And there’s also a ballot initiative to protect girls’ sports that Gen Se XXXY Athletics is leading out in with Aaron Lee and a third petition. So I’d love it if people could come.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, and that is Dr. Travis Morrell, and he is a Do No Harm Senior Fellow and the President of Colorado Principal Physicians. I will be excited to see you this evening, Dr. Morrell.
SPEAKER 18 :
And I’ll be excited to see you, Kim. Thank you, and I hope to meet some of your listeners, too.
SPEAKER 06 :
Absolutely. And again, go to Protect Kids Colorado for more information on that. And James Madison is our quote of the day. He was our fourth president and he’s known as the father of our Constitution. And he said this, if our nation is ever taken over, it will be taken over from within.
