The Washington Stand’s Casey Harper provides an update on redistricting efforts in Alabama and Tennessee, primary elections in Ohio…
Join Kim Monson as she delves into the pressing issues shaping our country today. From the local elections to the national discourse on freedom vs. force, Kim brings clarity to the conversation. Discover the nuances of government control in transportation and housing, and what bipartisan politics mean for truth-telling in media. This episode also features a deep dive into Kim’s voter guide – a must-have for navigating the complexities of local ballots this election cycle.
SPEAKER 20 :
It’s the Kim Monson Show, analyzing the most important stories.
SPEAKER 18 :
The socialization of transportation, education, energy, housing, and water. What it means is that government controls it through rules and regulations.
SPEAKER 20 :
The latest in politics and world affairs.
SPEAKER 18 :
Under the guise of bipartisanship and nonpartisanship, it’s actually tapping down the truth.
SPEAKER 20 :
Today’s current opinions and ideas.
SPEAKER 18 :
On an equal field in the battle of ideas, mistruths and misconceptions is getting us into a world of hurt.
SPEAKER 20 :
Is it freedom or is it force? Let’s have a conversation.
SPEAKER 18 :
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 i get to work with And that is Producer Joe, Luke, Rachel, Zach, Echo, Charlie, Mike, Teresa, Amanda, and all the people here at Crawford Broadcasting. Happy Wednesday, Producer Joe. Happy Wednesday, Kim. And can’t believe it. Time just marches on, as my father always said. And since it’s Wednesday, that means it’s Hooters. It’s Wednesday at Hooters restaurants. You buy 20 wings, you get an additional 10 for free. That’s for to go or to dine in. Their locations are Westminster, Loveland and Aurora. I know all this, I guess. And my mind has just been going a thousand miles a minute this morning. So I’ll get myself slowed down because there’s so much going on out there. So, again, Hooters Restaurants really appreciate their sponsorship of both the Kim Monson Show and America’s Veterans Stories. And they do have great lunch specials Monday through Friday as well. So be sure and check that out. As you know, on the show, 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 never compassionate nor altruistic to take other people’s stuff, whether or not it’s their rights, their property, freedom, livelihood, opportunity, their childhoods, or lives via force. And force can obviously be a weapon, but it can also be policy and unpredictable and excessive taxation, fear, coercion, government-induced inflation, which is a silent thief when your money buys less because of government printing money. This agenda of the World Economic Forum and globalist elites, we’ve seen it play out at the United Nations, but we see it at the Colorado State Legislature with this governor, but also on the local level as well. And they do that via land use codes and zoning regulations, forced fees, easements, all kinds of things like that, and things that really take away our property. And so we’ve got to we’ve got to get this ship turned around here where government gets smaller and gets back into the box. It’s supposed to be and the individual and individual liberty, which is the responsible exercise of freedom grows. And so we’re at a time in our country. I really think we’re at a time. of our third founding, and this next year is going to be very critical in the history of America. So that’s why we do this show, is to help you get your brain around these issues. Remember, if something’s a good idea, you should not have to use force to implement it. On the show, we focus on the issues, not the personalities. We’ll talk about the people regarding those issues, but we really want to stay out of all of that personality fighting and all that stuff that can occur in politics and in eighth grade. And eighth grade was not the most fun year for me. So I don’t really like to do that in politics at this age now as well. So let’s stay focused on the issues. And those that want to control the narrative want to get us all emotional about the issues instead of really delving deep into what they are. That’s why I did the Voter’s Guide. And you can get my Voter’s Guide. It’s an analysis of the two statewide issues as well as the five big bond questions on the Denver ballot. And you can go to my website, Kim Monson, that’s monson.com. And there’s a red ribbon at the top, just click on that. And we put in your name, your email, we’ll send you a link to download that. I give you the bond language, the actual language on the The ballot, the background on it, my recommendation, and how I came to that recommendation. I hope that you will use that as a tool and that you will use your own critical thinking as you make your decisions on this. Additionally, transformcolorado.org is an excellent resource for school board candidates. There’s a lot of school board races out there. These are super, super important, as well as a lot of city council and mayor races. And if you want to find out about your city council or mayor races, I did include the numbers for all of the county clerks. But you could also just call the clerk of your city as well. And they will have the contact information for those candidates. And you can reach out to them. And I gave you some different questions that you could ask so that you could do your analysis on that. So be sure and check out the voter’s guide. And again, that is at kimmonson.com. Next thing I wanted to mention, the Governor’s Forum. I had told you yesterday that it should be at BNTN on YouTube. And it is there, but I had a difficult time finding it. So I’m going to talk with the organizers on this and try to get more information for you on that tomorrow. As far as one other thing, I did not have the analysis on my voter’s guide, but there is a lot of tax increases as well on your ballot. For example, anybody in the South Metro Fire Rescue Protection District is voting on a $50 million per year increase in taxes. And I’m not even getting to… the merit or non-merits of that, what I would recommend as a no vote on it is that at the very last paragraph of the ballot question, they want to de-TABR or de-bruce the excess revenue. And under TABR, Colorado’s Taxpayers Bill of Rights, which was passed by the people of Colorado as an amendment to the Constitution in 1992, and it basically says that PBIs, politicians, bureaucrats, and interested parties, if you want to raise our taxes, incur debt or keep excess revenue each year above a very generous formula of population plus inflation, you just have to ask us. And I think it’s disingenuous when they stick this on the bottom of a question to raise taxes or for bonds to just kind of sneak it in there that they want to keep all the excess revenue if, in fact, they collect that. I think that’s really greedy. And so because of that, I would say no. to that particular measure. I would like to get to a point where these entities that are asking to raise taxes, that they stay within what they are really asking for the $50 million, not all the excess revenue. And I think that we need to send a message at the ballot box on that. So that is that. Our word of the day is adieu. And it’s A-D-I-E-U. I was talking with Colonel Rutledge yesterday. You know him. He’s a regular guest on the show, 97 years young. And at the end of our conversation, he said, and I will bid you adieu. And I thought, I said, I’m going to use that as a word of the day. It’s used to express farewell or goodbye, an expression of kind wishes at parting. and said to wish a fond farewell or a goodbye. And so use adieu, A-D-I-E-U, today in a sentence. You will probably put a smile on someone’s face. Our quote of the day, I went to Will Rogers, and he was born in 1879. He died in 1935. He was an American vaudeville performer, actor, humorous social commentator. He was born as a citizen of the Cherokee Nation in the Indian Territory, which is now part of Oklahoma. And he’s known as Oklahoma’s favorite son. And as an entertainer and humorist, he traveled around the world three times, made 71 films, and wrote more than 4,000 nationally syndicated newspaper columns. By the mid-1930s, Rogers was hugely popular in the United States for his leading political wit and was one of the higher-paid Hollywood film stars. He died in 1935 with aviator Wiley Post when their small airplane crashed on takeoff from a lagoon near Point Barrow in northern Alaska. And back in 1935, flying in airplanes was probably pretty dangerous things to be doing back then. We were still getting our wings regarding planes. uh… air air travel but this is what he said he said the taxpayers are sending congressman on expensive trips abroad it might be worth it except they keep coming back and that is will rogers and first headline that i wanted to hit here is this is from the daily signal and it says chicago sues trump refusing to drop d e i as a condition for federal money I think this is going to be really interesting because we are realizing that these cities are receiving all kinds of money from all of the taxpayers throughout the country. This is not the way federalism is supposed to be. They have to be responsible for their decisions. And it says, hands off Chicago, is what the mayor has of Chicago at his press conference. They want hands off Colorado, but they want to have their hands in all of our pockets in Chicago to have money to fund their terrible choices. And so anyway, Denver’s in on this. Several blue cities led by Chicago want federal money to keep flowing, but aren’t willing to abide by the Trump administration’s condition of dropping diversity, equity and inclusion policies to get it. Joining Chicago in the lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency are Boston, New York, Baltimore, Denver, Minneapolis, St. Paul and New Haven, Connecticut. The cities filed the case of Chicago versus Nome in federal court in the northern district of Illinois on Monday. And Homeland Security is named in her official capacity as a defendant. And I don’t know about New Haven, Connecticut, but I do know that all of those other cities are in decline. And I also know that they need to be responsible for the choices that they are making instead of expecting a bailout from the federal government. And really across the board, I would like us to start to have all of these jurisdictions be weaned of government grants and government handouts from the federal government. So that’s the first headline. The next headline that I will hit, this is from Axios Denver. And Michael Bloomberg is investing a small fortune in Colorado campaigns. He’s put he put over a half million dollars to a super PAC supporting U.S. Senator Michael Bennett’s campaign. And he also put money into he donated one point one five million in October and one point five million in September to support Denver’s flavored tobacco ban. I’m going to have to think about that. I don’t know why he’s doing that for sure. But he’s playing big in Colorado. And so we need to shed light on that. And we need to be pushing back by knowing what’s going on. And so that’s that for right now. I’ll do some of the other headlines here in a little bit because I don’t want to cut Mike Rolick short when we get to him. And these are important discussions that we have. We have them because of our sponsors and the Roger Mangan State Farm Insurance team and Roger’s been in business for 50 years taking care of his clients and his family and giving back to the community. So give them a call and you can go over your insurance coverage with them even if you’re not a client. Hopefully you’ll become a client. But give them a call at 303-795-8855 to go over your coverage. You might be able to save some money. The only way that you can find out is to call them. Again, that number is 303-795-8855. Like a good neighbor, the Roger Mangan team is there.
SPEAKER 17 :
We are number one. In 2024, Newsweek reported that Colorado has the most car thefts in America. The Roger Mangan State Farm Insurance team knows that when you need to make an insurance claim, the financial strength of your insurance company is important. State Farm consistently receives high marks for the company’s financial condition and ability to pay claims. For that peace of mind to know that you’re working with a financially strong company, contact the Roger Mangan team now at 303-795-8855 for a complimentary appointment to assess your insurance coverage. That’s 303-795-8855. Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.

It is 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, empowers our own personal climate to be warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It is Wednesday, so we have Mike Rolick on the line. Mike is a citizen activist watching what’s going on in a lot of different municipalities and different things right here in Colorado. So welcome to the show, Mike Rolick.
SPEAKER 10 :
Good morning, Mike. Sorry, good morning, Kim. How’s it going?
SPEAKER 18 :
It’s going well. So let’s jump in here. First, we’ve talked a bit about this bat lab up at CSU in Fort Collins. It’s of great concern that they’re bringing in bats with viruses and maybe transporting them around. What could go wrong with that? What’s the latest on this, Mike Rolick?
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, last week we had talked about the fact that there is a new grant that was awarded in September of this year by the current administration’s NIH, but it’s not funded yet. Joni Ernst has made mention that definitely wants to get more attention on this topic and hopefully not actually fund the grant. So that’s something that, you know, if folks could get out there and call senators and what have you, that would be great because the grant is not funded yet. So the money is not actually there. But what had happened was is originally CSU Fort Collins was working with EcoHealth Alliance to bring in bats to study Nipah and Hendra virus. And this new grant has a former grant number that relates back to that. So I don’t know the disposition on that, but the new grant wants to bring in Egyptian rosette bats, I think, uh, yeah, Egyptian bats, the fruit bats, and then work with the established Jamaican breeding colony of bats to work on, um, so, so Zuka virus, and then also, uh, so Zuka virus, sorry, and Marburg and actually do infection studies. And then we read out the grant last week on the radio, but, um, Like I said, right now, the action item would be trying to make sure this grant is actually funded. One of the things that I want to look at today also is kind of the leaky boat that seems to be CSU Fort Collins. And every quarter or month, the biosafety officer actually puts together a report of different things that have happened at the lab. And I’ve got some… FOIA examples, and they’re kind of alarming. And I just want to read a few of these out. So back in 2020, there was a laboratory infection of Zika virus from someone who’s working with mosquitoes. And it looks like they didn’t. realized they had it because it says, well, research is being ramped down to stop for change for critical operations in March in an individual who had cold symptoms and a rash. The individual believed the cold was passed from their partner and the rash was not uncommon during stressful times. Sometime later, the individual realized this could have been Zika because the individual did manipulations with infected mosquitoes before the symptoms occurred. Individual contacted the biosafety occupational health for diagnostic testing. Um, initial PCR tests was negative, but further testing confirmed the Zika infection. So we’ve got an example of someone working at the lab, getting Zika, going out perceivably into the public and thinking it was from something different. And then later realizing, yes, they were walking around with Zika. Um, another interesting one was incident report, uh, Man, I’m with feces, but this is a big one. Back in 2018, personnel did not follow BSL-3 visitor policy and escorted a visitor without documentation, training, or testing into the BSL space. So who’s getting into these labs? We’re always told that everything is done at the highest safety level, but it’s very interesting when you start looking at some of these. And then you’ve got another one, accident exposure. They’re working with – chikungunya virus in the BSL-3. There was a needle stick. There’s no specific treatment for this virus, but the person never actually got sick. But it is interesting to see, once again, that these lab leaks and these accidents can happen. I would ask that they be more public. And when we start bringing in new viruses, like Sosuga, literally has only one known human infection. It was discovered in 2012. So when you start dealing with viruses like that…
SPEAKER 18 :
Well, my question, this is happening at CSU. Is CSU kind of the only ones that’s doing this kind of research? Is this happening at colleges and universities across the country? Or is CSU, and I’ll put that in air quotes, special on this?
SPEAKER 10 :
I don’t know that. But I do know the other places where I’ve researched that look at Nipah viruses are Usually, BSL-4 labs that seem to be run by the government, like NBAC out in Manhattan, Kansas, is set up for Hope and Mouth, but also things like NEPA. Hamilton, Montana has the NIAID labs, Rocky Mountain labs. That’s a BSL-4. They were looking at doing the NEPA. Needle up in Boston, they’re a BSL-4. they’re a whole different level than what they were looking at doing here. Remember, the bat vivarium for the Indian flying fox bats was only going to be a BSL-2, and they’re going to be free flying, and it’d be a breeding colony. And they do have some BSL-level-3 work as well at CSU-Fort Collins. So I don’t know. Other universities, I’m sure, are doing this kind of work, but You know, when looking into the NBAP, basically they had like a concrete shovel, then a concrete shovel, then a concrete shell. The guy who designed it lived a half mile downwind, kind of putting his money where his mouth is. You know, like I read some interviews from him and he was saying, look, you know, I need to prove it safe. So, you know, I’m going to, I’m going to move right close to the lab myself. And they had a lot of different facility protections, extra power generation, tertiary power generation, what have you, a lot of protocols. So, It is a question like if research like this should get done at all, and then if it gets done, how safely can it be done? And what can we look at? I remember growing up on Long Island, we had Plum Island, and Plum Island was literally an island off of Long Island. And that’s where the research was done. So you actually had to take a boat over to do your research. That’s kind of isolating.
SPEAKER 18 :
So what do you think, what is the why? You just said we question whether or not this research should be done. What is the why on this, Mike Rollick?
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, everything that you read about bat research would say that bats are a great reservoir for virus, right? They can hold multiple viruses. They don’t get the cytokine storm. They don’t show any outward infections or sicknesses. So they’re great reservoirs to study, but then you have these zoonotic viruses that can jump to different species, like Zika, sorry, Zika, Nipah, can jump from bats to humans, bats to pigs, bats to dogs and cats. They have equestrian issues in Australia with Nipah virus. And then there is one example that I saw that it might have infected a cow. So I guess the idea is to study these things to understand how to deal with them when and if they do jump. But I guess the worry from all the folks I’ve talked to that would be with all this research and all this breeding and all this changing of the virus, if you will. are we inadvertently doing the wrong thing? You know, and then bringing these risks from out of the country of origin to a country here where there’s no background immunity. John Messstein from EcoHealth Alliance had been studying Nipah since about 2002 in Southeast Asia. And one of his papers suggested some background immunity in the general environment for a Nipah virus. So, you know, if you’re studying it in the country of origin and if there is a lab leak, Is there a better chance for it to be quelled there by this background national immunity that’s starting to develop? Whereas if you bring it to a brand new country, you know. There’s no immunity at all. It’s a completely foreign entity.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, those are really, really good questions. Anything else on that? We’ve got just a few minutes left. You mentioned we might want to talk about the 11th Amendment. Anything else on Fort Collins?
SPEAKER 10 :
We’ll just keep updated as we go. But like I was saying, reaching out to… your representatives, you know, about this kind of work. The Board of Governors also is ultimately responsible, as far as I understand, for what goes on at the CSU university system. That is also an elected position. So it’s just yet another race to kind of pay attention to. And I believe that they’re in the even years. I don’t think they’re in the odd years, but I could be wrong on that. But again, you know, we look at school board votes, We look at city votes, county votes, and then you’ve got to look at the other entity votes that aren’t like the normal governor vote or president vote. But they do have far-reaching implications.
SPEAKER 18 :
Well, they really do, and that’s why I did the voter’s guide, was to help people on the issues and then recommend that people do research regarding the – for school board candidates, transformcolorado.org is a really good resource. And then regarding your city council and your mayors, give them a call. I did list the numbers for the county clerks, but for your municipal elections, just call your municipal clerk and get the contact information for the – candidate and then just reach out to them ask them I think some of the key questions would be density and do you you know what do you think about road diets I think all those things could be good questions any other questions that you jump out at you Mike Rolick that people should ask City Council and mayor candidates yes the
SPEAKER 10 :
The thing that we’ve been dealing with here, too, is the growth of the staff’s authority and then also the transparency issues, right? We have been working hard to keep public comment period for new business in front of the meeting, the main bulk of the meeting agenda. I think that’s really important. But we did lose the online option. in Arvada, but Jeffco has still kept it. And it’s interesting to have a technological wonder, like a Zoom meeting or a Zoom-like meeting, right, you know, WebEx or what have you, and then have it taken away after people get used to the fact that they can participate, you know, from far reaches of their city or county. Arvada’s 35 square miles. Jeffco is probably hundreds of square miles and 550,000 people. And to get down to a county meeting could take an hour from certain parts. And to have that online option is great. So try to preserve maximum participation so people realize that they can show up either virtually or in person and try to make a difference is absolutely huge. But what we’re seeing it go away under the guise of it costs a lot. But the First Amendment is priceless to me.
SPEAKER 18 :
Well, I totally agree. So Mike Rolick, we will talk with you next Wednesday. I thank you for keeping us apprised of things that are happening in Colorado and in our local jurisdictions. And again, this is very, very important. So Mike Rolick, thanks so much.
SPEAKER 10 :
Thanks. Have a great day.

And pleased to have on the line with me Dr. Jill Vecchio. She is one of the few people in the country that read the complete Obamacare legislation. She was out on the stump during that time explaining the dangers of socialized medicine. Of course, Obamacare was couched to us as saving us money. Actually, insurance premiums have gone up. Health care’s costs have gone up. It did the opposite of what they said it would do. And that kind of seems to be what happens with government. But Jill also is concerned about electronic records. So, Dr. Jill, welcome. Well, thanks for having me, Kim, as usual. Well, and as you and I were preparing for the show, you said that there is a danger to people’s health care that they don’t even realize, and that is these electronic records. And, of course, Obamacare, that was one of the things that they said, hey, we’re going to get everything on electronic records so that your health care professional can be in contact with the hospital and everything’s going to be really streamlined and convenient. But you’re concerned. Tell us why.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, exactly. And this has been a problem for a long time. But I did want to, I was listening to your show just a few minutes ago, but I did want to add something on. Tucker Carlson did a podcast with a Dr. Andrew Huff, H-U-F-F, Dr. Andrew Huff. who is a highly qualified kind of basic researcher and engineer who was involved with EcoHealth Alliance while this whole COVID thing was being developed. So now years later, he’s talking about, I mean, he talked about it before, that the whole COVID story didn’t add up. And the bioweapons labs and all that. And he does a long podcast with Tucker Carlson. The last 25 minutes are absolutely frightening about where technology has gone. And all of these labs with the gain of function and stuff, they’re not going away at all. And that just kind of dovetails off of your prior guests. And, yeah, this is not stopping, and they’re still developing, doing gain-of-function research on these viruses all over the world.
SPEAKER 18 :
And explain gain-of-function for people that don’t understand what that is exactly, Dr. Jill.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, yeah, what they tell us gain of function. Oh, well, this is good because, you know, other countries or there may be some like a bat who carries all these viruses and maybe this virus will mutate and then it’s going to cross over to people and then it’s going to cause the next pandemic. So, therefore, we need to anticipate what genetic mutations may occur so we can have a vaccine ready just in case. Well, you know, and that whole premise is such a joke. It is scientifically garbage because it takes… Not just one or two mutations. It takes a whole series. It’s got to be like this perfect storm of mutations that have to occur in order for any virus to transmit. even within the animal species, then across animal species, or jump over to humans, cause a disease in humans, then be transmissible human to human, and then another, you know, to cause a pandemic. I mean, the trajectory is godlike, right? I mean, this is not something that just happens all the time. that a bat gets a virus and it jumps all of a sudden and becomes a pandemic. No. So they call this gain of function. Oh, like, we really need to have this research, folks. We’re trying to keep you guys safe. Baloney. They’re doing this research to develop bioweapons that can be used against people and animals, either for warfare. That’s how it all started was warfare. So they’ve been manipulating these viruses since World War I. And Spanish flu, you really kind of wonder, wow, that was a big one. Where exactly, you know, what exactly was the structure then? Who knows? I don’t know. But haven’t had anything since then. Even COVID wasn’t as bad as Spanish flu. So anyway, nobody stopped doing their biowarfare thing. So research, once you get started with that stuff, it’s like you’re never going to get rid of nuclear weapons because we already have them.
SPEAKER 18 :
So what do we do about it? It makes us feel a little helpless here as regular people.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, you know, it depends on good people doing the right thing or getting the wrong people to do the right thing. Once it’s there, it’s going to be there. You’re not going to stop this bio research. The problem is people need to know about it. People need to understand that this is happening. They are making these viruses. They are messing with the genetic sequences and genetic structures of viruses in order to make them lethal to animals and humans. So many of these outbreaks in the poultry production areas, right? Or just like the bird flu. Where did that come from? The swine flu. How did that get to be so bad? You know, they’ve been working with anthrax to make it more. That’s been going on for decades, apparently. But I encourage people, watch this Tucker Carlson, Dr. Andrew Huff. You can get it free on YouTube. It’s this extended, you know, this long format podcast interviews. This guy is like way up there in credibility. He actually worked with EcoHealth Alliance and then realized, oh my gosh, what are these guys doing? Then he left them and… You know, everything that we’ve been talking about, Kim, over the years about COVID, he verifies it, every single thing. So I’m going through this podcast going, yeah, we talked about that. Yeah, we talked about that. He’s verifying that. Yep, we were right about that. We were right about that. We were right about that. All our conspiracy theory stuff, right, we were all correct. And he was on the inside during that whole process of EcoHealth Alliance developing COVID, the virus, for decades before it was released, probably, you know, November 1st. To 2019, October, November, 2019. So, yeah. So he verifies all that. So I’m like, blah, blah. Yeah. Yeah. I heard that. I heard that the last 25 minutes, folks. God smacked. You are going to, you are going to be so alarmed and astounded at what he reveals with between the, these, the, the development of these viruses and cloning and of the viruses and nanotechnology with AI. Yikes. And the technology exists. It’s already here.
SPEAKER 18 :
What do we do about it? That’s the thing. What do we do about it?
SPEAKER 11 :
Right. You know, it’s like any technology can be used for good or bad. They’re going to tell us, well, if we do nanotechnology and put viruses in tiny little microscopic particles and you swallow it because, you know, here instead of taking chemotherapy, we have developed based on your DNA, the structure of your DNA and all this, we have developed a single treatment method. Through this virus with a certain genetic structure that it’s going to it’s tailor made to you. So all you have to do is swallow this little pill that contains this little nano virus or this virus attached to some nano, a tiny little device. You swallow that. It’s going to go right to the cancer. It’ll kill the cancer, but it’s not going to kill you otherwise. Right. You know, that’s what they’re going to say. That’s going to be the justification. It’s like the neural link, you know, justification. So any technology can be used for good or bad. But once it’s here, it’s here and there’s nothing we can do about it. And there are going to be people that are going to use it for good. There are going to be people that are going to use it for bad. And the people that are going to use it for bad are going to be the hard ones to find, right? because they know that they’re doing it with nefarious purposes. They’re going to be behind the scenes. They’re going to be in the intelligence communities. They’re going to be the DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Program Agency, the Department of the Military that’s really behind so much of this stuff, including COVID. So the people that are doing it for nefarious reasons, the World Economic Forum, all that stuff, EcoHealth Alliance. They were all doing it behind the scenes, under the radar, lying to the public, right? You cannot stop people from behaving badly but we can say but we can say no we can say no as much as you know that if you know that it’s going on or if you’re given an option yes say no say no okay right well but they’re but they have the technology to do a lot of stuff to us without us even knowing it
SPEAKER 18 :
Well, that’s why we have to continue to search for truth on these particular issues. And that’s why we do the show. We’re going to go to break. I’m talking with Dr. Jill Vecchio, and she’s concerned about electronic records. And I know that we finished up some of the things that the concerns regarding what Mike Rollick was talking about in segment two. These are very important discussions. and it’s important to kick the tires on these ideas. They happen because of our sponsors. For everything mortgages, reach out to Lorne Levy.

SPEAKER 18 :
And welcome back to the Kim Monson Show. Check out the website for the USMC Memorial Foundation. While you’re there, support them. We’re coming up on Veterans Day, and it is important to support these different organizations that… shed light on our veterans, our military, and the sacrifices that they make for our liberty. And so a great way to show appreciation is to make sure that we support the USMC Memorial Foundation. And then also the Center for American Values located down in Pueblo, co-founded by Drew Dix, Medal of Honor recipient, and Brad Padula. Pueblo is known as the home of heroes because there’s four Medal of Honor recipients that grew up there. And so… Be sure and support the Center for American Values as well. And that website is AmericanValuesCenter.org, AmericanValuesCenter.org. They’re nonpolitical, they are nonpartisan, and they focus on these foundational principles of honor, integrity, and patriotism. So Dr. Jill Vecchio is on the line. And Dr. Jill, why are you concerned about electronic medical records? That was a big thing in Obamacare.
SPEAKER 11 :
It was, and it really kind of became mandatory in Obamacare. So doctors had to pay between $30,000 and $70,000 per physician or per small practice. The large practice was practically per physician to make the transfer from paper records over to electronic health records online. All the data from paper charts had to be transferred over into an electronic health records, some software version. And there are a few software versions. You had to have all of these boxes checked in this electronic health records. Whenever a patient came in, you had to ask this question, this question, this question. It had to be entered into their electronic health records. And then if you checked, if you missed checking a box, you wouldn’t get paid by the insurance company or the government. Right. So it was tied intimately, not just a mandate, but it was also tied to reimbursement. So any time there’s force versus freedom, right? If electronic health records was such a good thing, people would be doing it already, and some people did. But then they didn’t have the right software, one of the approved softwares. So some of them had to buy a whole new software system. So it was ridiculous cost to physicians. Just off the bat, if you’re transferring patients, paper records for 3,000 patients and you’re scrambling to get it done in what, like a year or two’s time? How accurate do you think whoever is entering that data, do you think maybe they made some mistakes in people’s records?
SPEAKER 1 :
Wow.
SPEAKER 11 :
Right? Then the records go into this long-term storage, iron mountain kind of stuff. So it’s practically impossible to actually go back and check some things after a while. Now, whenever I’ve been to the doctor since electronic health records started… They say, oh, well, you know, I did a concierge doc for a while. Oh, you’re going to spend, you’re going to have a two-hour visit with a doc or a one-hour visit, and they’re going to go through everything with you. You’re going to get so much attention. It’s just going to be amazing. So I go in, and it’s not the doctor that’s taking the history. It is the nurse or a medical assistant or a physician’s assistant, not the physician, okay? So they are sitting at a computer. i could i could have a purple head and balloons coming out of my ears and they would not have noticed because they are embedded in their computer asking questions paging through going oh dang it i went to the wrong page oh shoot oh shoot this messed this up i gotta you know i’m sorry we have to start over because they’re entering data into a computer now I was livid by the end of that hour. I was just like, you know what? Put the damn computer away. Excuse me. Put the computer away. Look at me. Why don’t you ask me questions? Take written notes. And then on your own time, you go enter that into the computer. You do this stuff on your own time, not my time. this appointment could have taken 10 minutes and you could actually had time to do a physical exam on me. How about that? You know? So it’s like all the, all the time and attention is being put into laptop computers, entering electronic health records through this cumbersome software. And we know what happens when you go through, right? If you’re filling out some form, how many times do you end up, Oh geez, the whole thing just froze up on me. Or it just like, you hit submit and it doesn’t give you any confirmation number or something, right? And you’re like, do it or not, you know? Am I being charged this amount of money or not, you know? So I’ve filled out stuff online. um for electronic health records right over here your appointment you’re going to be a new patient here get on our patient portal and fill out your history and everything else i go on there i spend an hour filling out accurate history is accurate all this information submit it i show up for the appointment you’re like we never got your that didn’t go through We have to start over and do it again. I mean, have you ever had that? How many times have you had that?
SPEAKER 18 :
You know, I don’t go to the doctor very often.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, I don’t anymore, not unless I absolutely have to. But I have a couple of prescriptions I have to get regularly. So I’m forced to go to a doctor just to get the prescriptions refilled. But it’s infuriating. And so that’s number one. It has put a computer and data collection. It’s all about data collection. This isn’t about better patient care. I can tell you, how much time do we have here? A couple minutes?
SPEAKER 18 :
We’ve got about four minutes.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, okay. So here’s a good story. My husband fell skiing and broke his wrist. Waited three weeks to finally get an x-ray. It was just, it was busted good. I mean, several fractures. So we finally go to the orthopedic surgeon. And yeah, so he ends up not, you know, didn’t have to have surgery because by that time enough healing had occurred that they really couldn’t do surgery. And, you know, not anyway, it wouldn’t do any good. And he was healing quite well. Anyway, so we did a follow-up visit a few weeks later. So naturally, we’re not with a doctor. We are with a physician’s assistant, very nice guy, and he’s going through the electronic health records sitting at the laptop, and he’s talking about, so, Mr. Vecchio, so did you, did the surgery go okay? Are you happy with the results? Are you having any pain since the surgery? How’s the scarring? Let me see how the scar looks. And we’re like going, what are you talking about? Well, He didn’t have surgery. And it’s like I go in with my husband on these visits now because it’s insane. Some of the information. Well, didn’t you? You had this, right? And you had surgery on this day. I mean, they had the day and everything. Oh, my gosh. That he had had surgery. What kind of surgery he had had. All listed in his electronic health records. He had never had surgery. We said he hasn’t had surgery on his wrist. Well, yes, he has. It’s right here. Wow. That was the response. Yes, he has. You’re wrong. He has had surgery because it’s here on the computer in his electronic health records.
SPEAKER 18 :
Goodness gracious.
SPEAKER 11 :
Right? So what you’re saying is that… But these lower level, these paraprofessionals, the PAs, the MAs, it’s like they have their little algorithms and everything has to fit into an algorithm sometimes.
SPEAKER 18 :
But that’s awesome.
SPEAKER 11 :
Right.
SPEAKER 18 :
But that’s they’ve been trained that way. And we have talked about it before. But you and I are both concerned about many of the young people that are going through the education for health care. Because there is this agenda that you and I have both been concerned about. Instead of concerned about the patient, many of them have an agenda. And some of it’s World Economic Forum stuff that’s been pushed on them. So throwing that out there with a minute left, what’s your comments on that, Dr. Giovecchio?
SPEAKER 11 :
So the first thing I would say to everybody, recommendation, next time you go to a doctor, review your entire history, your medications. All it takes is one wrong keystroke. You know, when you’re taking notes, very seldom are you going to make a mistake writing things down. You’re going to make a mistake all the time on a computer, especially if you’re just checking boxes. And if you’re typing in, maybe a couple of numbers get transposed or there’s an extra zero.
SPEAKER 18 :
So can we turn this around, Dr. Jill?
SPEAKER 11 :
We can’t get rid of electronic health records. This is data collection. They’re on the trajectory to use this for a whole lot of things. So I think this is not the only, you know, I think we need to continue with this going into what this data is being used for and the AI. And then this discussion actually ties into the whole Tucker Carlson, nanotechnology stuff. I mean, it starts with data collection through electronic health records. Wow. So one thing just on the, you know, there are only some things we can control for right now, but the first thing you can do is make sure that your electronic health patient record is accurate. Right.
SPEAKER 18 :
Okay. On that note, Dr. Jill, we’ll talk with you next month and also want to say thank you for guest hosting the show recently. I really appreciate that as well.
SPEAKER 11 :
I appreciate how well you time all of your breaks.
SPEAKER 18 :
You do very well on one of them. I know the clock management is tricky, but thank you so much, Dr. Jill. Have a great day. We’ll talk next month. And Will Rogers said this, some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me. He says, I want people to know why I look this way. I’ve traveled a long way and some of the roads weren’t paved. 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’re not alone. God bless you. God bless America. Stay tuned for our number two.

SPEAKER 20 :
The latest in politics and world affairs.
SPEAKER 18 :
Under this guise of bipartisanship and nonpartisanship, it’s actually tapping down the truth.
SPEAKER 20 :
Today’s current opinions and ideas.
SPEAKER 18 :
On an equal field in the battle of ideas, mistruths and misconceptions is getting us into a world of hurt.
SPEAKER 20 :
Is it freedom or is it force? Let’s have a conversation.
SPEAKER 18 :
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. 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 Wednesday, Producer Joe. Happy Wednesday, Kim. And really thought-provoking conversations on the show. And I love hearing from you. Text line is 720-605-0647. And you can email me at kim at kimmonson.com as well. I’m a little behind on emails right now, but I’m working on it. We’ve been doing these big projects. The Colorado Union of Taxpayers ratings report is out, and we will have that on the website soon. We’d love to have you join us at coloradotaxpayer.org. And do say thank you to my fellow board members when you see them out and about. We are all volunteers doing amazing work, standing up for the taxpayer, protecting TABOR, Colorado’s Taxpayers Bill of Rights, property rights, and parental rights. We are focused on those things. But when you see these folks out there, say thank you to them. That’s Steve Dorman, Greg Golianski, Russ Haas, Bill Hamill, Rob Knuth, John Nelson, Wendy Warner, Marty Nielsen, Ramey Johnson, Mary Jansen, Dave Evans, Corey Onazorg, Paula Beard, and Ray Beard.

And also you can download my voter’s guide. which hopefully is a good tool for you as you are completing your ballot. There’s a red ribbon at the top. Just click on that, put in your name and your email address, and we will send that to you. So be sure and check that out as well. Our word of the day, and I chose this because I was talking with Colonel Bill Rutledge, 97 years young, yesterday. And at the end of the conversation, he said, Kim, I will bid you adieu. And adieu is spelled A-D-I-E-U. And it’s used to express a farewell, kind wishes at parting, or a fond farewell, a fond goodbye. And so you should be able to use adieu in a sentence today, and that will probably make somebody smile. So be sure and check that out. Also, here’s our quote of the day from Will Rogers. He was born in 1879. He died in 1935 in a plane crash in northern Alaska. And he was a social commentator, an actor, really an amazing guy. But he said this. He said the taxpayers are sending congressmen on expensive trips abroad. He said it might be worth it, except they keep coming back. And again, that’s Will Rogers. As you know, we are an independent voice and we are independent because of all of your support and because of our great sponsors. And Lorne Levy is really our mortgage expert. He can help people in 49 of the 50 states, just not New York. And he works with a lot of different companies, which gives lots of different options. And I love that. Lorne Levy, welcome to the show.
SPEAKER 06 :
Good morning, Kim.
SPEAKER 18 :
Okay, what’s the 10-year treasury doing?
SPEAKER 06 :
It’s actually gone down a bit. It’s grossed through four. It’s like $3.98 this morning, which is nice to see. It hasn’t had a huge reflection yet on mortgage rates, to be honest. The mortgage market, like I always tell you, is what the term we use is loosely tied to the 10-year note, meaning it doesn’t exactly follow it, but it follows it pretty close. So the mortgage market trades on its own. It’s its own set of bonds. But rates have been decent for a little bit now. at what I would call the lower half of the 6% range for most folks. And people with really good credit with a good down payment or a good amount of equity are getting in the low 6s, which is nice.
SPEAKER 18 :
Okay. So is this the first time in a while that the 10-year Treasury has been below 4?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah. It’s at least been… I would think, I’m trying to remember what I saw, but, you know, it’s not as long as you think because it’ll blip down sometimes and then bounce back up. So I think it’s only been a couple months, Kim. I don’t think it’s been like two years since it’s been below four. Yeah, it’s nice to see, and it’s helpful. And, you know, it helps. Anytime rates can come down a bit, it helps people with home equity loans. But, you know, we’re in reverse mortgages, so it’s just nice to see. Although I did read something the other day, an article just from some industry person, an economist that was saying that they thought rates would be where they are now between six and, like, six and a half all the way through to 2028. So we’ll see. You know, that’s just an economic opinion, but… Well, we should find out.
SPEAKER 18 :
It seems like economists and weather people are the only two professions where you can be wrong a lot of the time and still keep your job.
SPEAKER 06 :
And I think economists are, as a group, just overly conservative in their math, not in their politics, but in their projections, because they don’t want to get people hyped up for something that doesn’t happen. So hopefully they’re a little high. That’d be great.
SPEAKER 18 :
Okay. So you’re probably seeing some real opportunity. What are you recommending to people that might have a mortgage above what X rate to give you a call?
SPEAKER 06 :
I would think that anybody who has a mortgage above 675 to 6875 should be taking a look and making a phone call. Like you and I always talk about, it’s free to call and have a talk. um just to see what options are out there as a company we’re never going to suggest someone do a loan just so we can do the loan if it’s not in their best interest so it’s always fair to have a conversation and see if it makes sense see what the how long it takes to recoup whatever cost there may be and see how much you can save on a monthly basis and likewise what i do know for a fact and this is uh facts is that our credit card debt in this country is the highest it’s ever been and there’s a lot of people hurting and sometimes people think well i have a really low mortgage rate But then they have all these credit cards that they’re paying 25% on. And sometimes, you know, a cash out refi to pay off that debt can really help when you think about the overall monthly payments being spent and the blended rates and things. So if there’s people that have a lot of debt, I would take a look and make a phone call as well.
SPEAKER 18 :
Well, and Lauren, people are being squeezed because of public policy. High taxes, high fees, this idea with vibrant Denver, which is the five bond questions, the debt questions, which I’m highly recommending a no on that. And so instead of government having that money, if you had that money in your own pocket, instead of having it forcibly be taken from you for government, that would really help people a lot as well. And, Lauren, I saw this, not sure if you saw this headline, but Michael… Mayor Mike Johnston, this is from Axios Denver. He said he has a message for Denver voters. If his 950 million vibrant Denver bond doesn’t pass, and that’s actually it’s five bonds in there, there’ll be no new park and maybe no Beyonce. He says that this ambitious bond proposal would help develop the Denver Broncos Stadium, which I thought that they said there was no public money in that, and Park Hill Golf Course. But he said apparently Beyonce only likes to perform in covered venues, and so we need to spend $950 million so that she could come to Denver in a covered venue. I think the answer should be no on that, Lorne Levy.
SPEAKER 06 :
Talk about appealing to the uneducated. Oh, my gosh. And with the Broncos thing, I believe that they’re building the stadium with their own money. I believe that’s right, but I believe that they’re looking for infrastructure help, you know.
SPEAKER 18 :
Okay, that’s right.
SPEAKER 06 :
To make it more accessible.
SPEAKER 18 :
Road and bridge upgrades around Burnham Yard, it says. Yeah, that’s what it is. Okay, so there you have it. I think the answer should be no on that.
SPEAKER 06 :
But that would make sense just by simply reading it.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, definitely. So, hey, Lorne Levy, if people want to take a look at their own personal amount of money in their pocket regarding their mortgages, what’s the best way to reach you?
SPEAKER 06 :
Just call 303-880-8881.
SPEAKER 18 :
Again, that’s Lorne Levy, 303-880-8881. And we will talk with you next week, Lorne Levy.
SPEAKER 06 :
All right. And next week, no, I’m sorry. Yeah, next week’s the Fed. So we’ll have someone to talk about that.
SPEAKER 18 :
Oh, so we want to move you to Thursday, don’t we?
SPEAKER 06 :
Most likely, yeah, because they’re going to announce on Wednesday.
SPEAKER 18 :
Okay, we’ll make that happen. So Lorne will be on next Thursday. And have a great week, and we’ll talk then.
SPEAKER 06 :
You as well. Thank you.

And it is Wednesday, so that means it’s a Trent Luce Wednesday. Trent Luce is a sixth-generation farmer and rancher. He’s focused on bringing light to the issues that the people that feed and fuel us face. And Trent Luce, welcome to the show.
SPEAKER 07 :
We can’t all be heroes. Some of us have to sit on the curb and clap while they go by.
SPEAKER 18 :
Where did that come from?
SPEAKER 07 :
I thought it was Will Rogers Day on the Kim Monson show.
SPEAKER 18 :
Oh, it is Will Rogers. Yeah. It is, and I chose Will Rogers because you were going to be on. I was looking for cowboy quotes, and I ended up with Will Rogers. And, yeah, it is Will Rogers. He was so funny because everything that he kind of shed light on was true, but we hadn’t really thought about it.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, 100%. I mean, you cannot… ever stopped getting enough out of the will rogers insight that wisdom and wit i mean it’s just incredible and you hear believe all that came from oklahoma before oklahoma was a state by the way he was born in 1879 and uh born in the cherokee nation did you hear my quote for the beginning of the show i did yes i did it’s too bad they keep coming back
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, I know. I know.
SPEAKER 07 :
It’s like Kristi Noem’s got two brand-new jets to fly her around. Just bought two for reportedly up to $200 million. Not one, two new jets paid for by the Coast Guard.
SPEAKER 18 :
Really?
SPEAKER 07 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 18 :
Oh, man. Oh, man. I don’t like that.
SPEAKER 07 :
The old one wasn’t working anymore. I guess they didn’t get the oil change often enough or something. I don’t know. But, yeah, they didn’t buy her one. They bought her two at a reported somewhere between $150 and $200 million.
SPEAKER 18 :
Oh, my gosh. I had not heard that. Just a little story on oil change. My father, you know, farmer, he always made sure that the engines had their oil changed. And so when I went out on my own, I had the old family Buick. And I had learned how to change the oil, but I don’t really like it. I don’t really like to crawl underneath a car. But I did it a couple of times, and I thought, you know what, I don’t really like this. But my dad always said, make sure that you have enough oil. But when I would go home, he would check the oil in my car. He’d sneak out and check it just to see what was going on. And he came in and he said, Kim, the oil in your car, you’re a quart high. And he said, you can’t put too much oil in the car because then that will be bad for the engine as well. So instead of being a quart low, I was a quart high.
SPEAKER 07 :
It’s clear why I like you so much because every time you start talking about your father, it’s like, oh, man, this guy is incredible. And I absolutely love changing oil in my own vehicles. Well, let me restate that. I used to. Now they have made it so that it’s very difficult for you to crawl under there because they put that oil filter in a place that you have to break an arm in order that you can actually get up in there and get that thing off and get it back. It’s all about maintaining the service at the dealership.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, I know. I know. Well, before we get into what I think we might talk about, tell us about your week. What was important? What happened?
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, pretty much this week. I had a great trip to North Dakota last week, by the way. We’ll just start with that. I got to see some people I had not seen for a while, got into some areas that are dealing with wind and solar development, continued to be wind and solar development that we’re keeping at bay, and the weather has been pretty good. It’s beautiful today, and we’ve got to get a lot of ranch work done because winter’s coming.
SPEAKER 18 :
Winter is coming, and I was not aware. I just did a quick search on this Kristi Noem thing. Kristi Noem defends. This is from The Hill two days ago. Kristi Noem defends $170 million purchase of Gulfstream jets for DHS leaders. It’s not a good look. It’s just not a good look at all. So let’s jump over here, though. You said that one of the things that you are concerned about is this Trump and Argentine beef. So walk us through that, Trent Luce.
SPEAKER 07 :
That has absolutely dominated my world since Thursday afternoon at 430 when I received the first text from somebody to say, what did Trump just say? Thursday, he made a statement about he has worked some magic and he’s going to fix high beef prices. That led to Friday a total wreck in the futures of feeder cattle and live cattle markets. In fact, some record lows, not record lows, record drops in terms of $9 is what they dropped. And then on Sunday, he actually laid out the details, how he and Prime Minister Malay in Argentina had worked out this plan, to bring in beef from Argentina to alleviate the high prices of beef in the store. Now, I’ve got a serious issue with that because if you look at what everything else costs, if you even go look at what processed food costs in the store today compared to what it cost 10 years ago, beef is the value buy in the store. And you’re getting nutrition density like you can’t get anywhere else. And we’re at a point where… The cattlemen of the U.S. have finally been getting a price that they were able to pay the bills. And people think, well, my goodness, it’s $5. These feeder calves are bringing $5 a pound. And, you know, it used to be that if we got $2 a pound, we thought we really did something. Well, Kim, I went and looked at the 1990 data. on what feeder calves were worth in 1990. And it says about $1.67, and that’s on a 600-pound calf. And that’s per pound, right? That’s per pound. But when you factor, so a 600-pound calf in 1990 would bring, what, just $750? No, it would be more than that. It would be just short of $2 pounds, $1.67, so you’re talking $1,100 today. And so then I looked at the adjusted for inflation. And in 1990, adjusted for inflation, a calf was worth $4 a pound. So for a calf to be $5 a pound, equating to what all prices were, where have we had any limitation on what we buy today? At any level, look at insurance, look at taxes, look at your car, look at electricity, 35% increase in electricity, 2025. At every turn, there’s an increase. But for some reason, we have this desire to keep beef down at a low price. Why? I don’t understand that. So we are the number one beef producer in the world. The United States produces 28 billion tons of beef a year. And we are the number one beef importer in the world. 2024 and all years previous, our number one importer was Australia. And the reason we typically import Australian beef is because they have a lean product, a lean cow product that we bring in, that we blend with what we call our trim, and we produce ground beef. Everything has changed in 2025. Brazil is now the largest beef importer into the United States, and they’ve maxed out their quota. This is where the story gets really interesting. For years, for 20 years, we looked to Argentina as the beef-consuming nation of the world. Their per capita beef consumption was double what it is in the United States. They have just been pure beef consumers. But if you watch, and I started watching this a year ago about right now, last fall, Because of, if you’re ready for this, because of drought conditions and challenges to the market… The beef inventory in Argentina is at a record low. That’s exactly the same story that we have in the United States. We have a beef inventory value numbers that are at a record low. We’re still producing the same amount of total beef, which is ironic, but it’s happening because we used to feed our cattle to 1,350 pounds. I saw a set of 89 steers at market weight at 1,800 pounds this week in Yankton, South Dakota. Those cattle brought $4,300 per head, just to give you an idea of what’s going on. Back to Argentina. Argentina in 2025, they are no longer a beef-consuming nation. They’re eating more chicken and more pork, and it’s 100% because it costs too much. So what they’ve been doing in Argentina is importing Brazilian beef into Argentina to compensate for the high beef prices in Argentina. And now we have Donald Trump ushering in a path to bring Argentina beef into the United States because the beef prices are too high. My real concern, I have no verification, this is just some speculation, that Brazil has found a way to bring more beef into the United States, sending it into Argentina, doing something process-wise, bringing it to the United States as Argentina beef. There’s so much happening in this particular realm. And then on top of all of that, lo and behold, I find out, and this may seem like a distraction, but it’s not, Kim. Malay, the prime minister of Argentina, his grandfather moved from Poland to Argentina, and his name was Malakowski. Do you know who else had a name of Malakowski before he changed it to Netanyahu? Turns out that Benjamin Netanyahu and Malay in Argentina come from the same family. And Malay has said repeatedly, once I’m done with this prime minister thing, I’m going to be done being a Catholic. I’m going to become a Jew. That’s what he’s been saying.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 07 :
Okay. And ironically, we learned that the number one supplier of kosher beef in Israel is Argentinian.
SPEAKER 18 :
Okay. Well, interesting dots that you’re connecting.
SPEAKER 07 :
So many things have come to light.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, interesting dots that you’re connecting. I’m not quite sure what to do with that. I’m talking with sixth-generation farmer and rancher Trent Luce, and it’s time for break. So I wanted to mention the Second Syndicate. In fact, I went on and made up my contribution to their program for the FASTER program so that I will be, my name will be put into the drawing for one of the firearms that they will have as the prize on that. And so you can do that by going to the secondsyndicate.com. That’s the 2ndsyndicate.com. And really appreciate the great work they’re doing to protect our Second Amendment rights, because the Second Amendment is in the Constitution to protect all of the other rights.
SPEAKER 02 :
Today, particularly in Colorado, your Second Amendment right to keep and bear firearms is under relentless attack. The Second Amendment is in our Bill of Rights to ensure that each individual has the right to resist oppression, stand firm against government overreach, and protect our right to defend ourselves, our families, and our freedoms. Colorado’s premier grassroots Second Amendment organization, the Second Syndicate, is exposing the most pressing threats to the Second Amendment and providing education, resources, and tools to stay informed.

Healthy school school. meals for all children. It’s actually probably pat the pockets of a lot of bureaucrats, and maybe some kids will get fed along the way. And then also took positions of no on the vibrant Denver bond questions, just under a billion dollars. That’s not including the payback. which makes it $2 billion. Just think of Denverites had $2 billion in their own pockets, what they could do with their own lives. So we’re recommending a no on that. And so are you ready for your financial freedom?

And as you know, we search for truth and clarity by looking at these issues through this lens of freedom versus force, force versus freedom. And of course, the founders were talking about this freedom versus force all the time and ended up coming up with the Constitution. And last week, Trent Luce and I were having a discussion about states’ rights versus federal jurisdiction. And You had posed something that was making me think. I had said that regarding the emission rules on automobiles in California, that’s forcing the auto manufacturers to have to adjust all their cars for California standards. And so in a way, California is wagging the dog on this. And I didn’t think that that was right under the Commerce Clause. But you had a different view, Trent Luce.
SPEAKER 07 :
Before we go to that, I want to make sure my point is heard because I didn’t finalize my point on this Argentina beef import scenario. We have seen horrible economic times across all of agriculture in 2025. In fact, we have had Brooke Rollins, Secretary of Agriculture, constantly in the last 30 days to six weeks talk about how economic times are horrible in agriculture. We’re going to have to help them. The one shining spot in all of agriculture in 2025 has been the beef business. The only producers who are truly holding their own in 2025 is the very producers who are going to be impacted by a decrease in beef prices. Beef demand was not suffering. Beef demand is flying off the shelf in 2025, even though it’s at an elevated price. That’s because people now understand how helpful, how important it is from the nutrient density standpoint. And these actions by the USDA and Donald Trump are going to cause financial hardship for cattlemen in the U.S., which we’re in good shape. We want the government to stay out of the mix. But that was the moral of that story. And these beef imports are not going to do anything to solve the problem. The real problem is consolidation in the packer ownership. Nobody argues that. And this just facilitates that to an even bigger degree because who distributes that product in the United States? Those conglomerates like JBS Swift who control the world when it comes to meat production. I just want to make sure we had that point clear.
SPEAKER 18 :
Okay. Thank you for buttoning that up on that. Okay, are you ready to go over to the Constitution and states’ rights? Okay. So you’d made the case last week. You said if California wants to be stupid on something, then let them be stupid on that. But they have to be responsible for those decisions. And let’s see, what was the thing that we were – what was the other issue that –
SPEAKER 07 :
It all started with Proposition 12 and what’s taking place in the pork business. And there is a new proposal as an act. save our bacon act as part of the farm bill which is what facilitated this but historically what we’ve seen happen is that when California and I have a friend who has moved to France and is just back in California and I had her on across the pond this morning she just is reeling in what has happened to California since she left four years ago in terms of food prices in terms of urbanization and in terms of electric and what’s taking place in the shortage of water But what happens is California, I’ll just take back to what started all of this, was Proposition 2 requesting that chickens have more space laying eggs in a cage. Well, because you may have been in Iowa, and I use Iowa because Iowa’s the number one egg-producing state in the nation, you may be an Iowa farmer, you couldn’t comply with what they had of 72 inches instead of 68 inches. It was really that ridiculous. But California had no ability to put the same standards in place for eggs that came in from Mexico. So what happened was by creating a law, which is their own choice, but they facilitated importing food from another country instead of bringing it from Iowa. And that is what morphed into this whole evolution that got to where Proposition 12 is. You have to meet these California standards. So my real question is, what are they doing in Mexico? Are they meeting those standards? Are we bringing pork in from Mexico? How does that apply to what we just talked about with Argentina beef? Is Argentina beef meeting the standards of California?
SPEAKER 18 :
So is California not checking the standards if it comes from out of the country, but they’re forcing those standards? Oh, man.
SPEAKER 07 :
So that is, once again, making it tougher, creating this artificial higher input cost to do business in the United States and sell products in the United States. But again, I’m coming back to California. The people have got to fix this in California. We’re not going to fix it in Washington, D.C. By putting in place a Save Your Bacon Act… again, it’s trying to find a bandaid to the real problem. We need a cure. The cure is people are too complacent and sitting back. For example, in California, this is not related directly, but ties into the solution. In 2015, there was a ballot initiative in California to spend money to increase the water holding ability of California. Because California, despite living in a desert, gets enough rainfall to generate the water that they need. But what they do is that they allow the water to leave and go to the ocean where they even passed a measure to dedicate, I don’t remember off the top of my head, the amount of money to increase the water storage capacity so that the water is available when they need it for growing food. But in order to protect the delta smelt, which is a little minnow, They have X amount of water that they cannot capture, despite the fact that people voted to put in these water storage units. They haven’t built one single one with that money because they want to protect this little endangered minnow that is causing this really causing a lack of food to be produced. And I don’t know who’s going to continue to remain in food production in California or how you can be that resilient to combat the stupidity. But the answer to those questions, both of those scenarios, in my mind, is that until the California eaters, people who either pay more or don’t have access to food, rise up and say, look, you’ve got to get your act together, they’re going to continue to do it. And I’m not talking about 12 people. I’m talking about 2 million.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah. Well, so I think… That may be raising another question that we may talk about when we come back from break. I’m talking with sixth generation farmer and rancher Trent Luce about the people that feed and fuel us and the issues that they are facing. And those issues are really huge. Right now. And so we have to continue the discussion. But did want to mention Little Richie’s, which is located in Parker and in Golden. And they really have authentic New York flavor, but Colorado roots. I dropped by yesterday and got the most delicious calzone at the Little Richie’s in Parker. And so it’s a great place for daily specials and weekday lunch deals. They have a great happy hour worth planning around. They are your neighborhood favorite, and they’re always serving up something worth stopping for. And again, that is Little Richie’s in Parker and in Golden. And we talked with him yesterday, and that’s John Bozen with Bozen Law. If you’ve been injured, reach out to them for a complimentary appointment.

SPEAKER 18 :
And welcome back to the Kim Monson Show. Be sure and check out our website. That is Kim Monson, M-O-N-S-O-N.com. And I wanted to mention the Center for American Values, which is located in Pueblo. And really beautiful portraits of valor of over 160 of our Medal of Honor recipients and their quotes. So be sure and check that out. Also, Pueblo is known as the home of heroes, and for the four Medal of Honor recipients, Right in front of the convention center, there’s four really beautiful bronze statues. And it’s important to learn these stories. It gives us heart and inspiration to continue in this battle of ideas that we’re in right now in our country. And so be sure to check out that website. That is AmericanValueCenter.org. And then also the… website for the USMC Memorial Foundation. Check that out as well and support the memorial because it’s so important to remember and honor those that have given their lives or been willing to give their lives for our liberty. And of course, a great way to honor them as we’re coming in on Veterans Day is to support the USMCMemorialFoundation.org. Trent Luce, in our number one, we had citizen watchdog on, Mike Rolick. We were talking about the importation of bats from other countries to the bat lab up at CSU. And on that, Jenny, one of our listeners, said that CSU has a horrible track record for ugly things escaping their lab. She says that they are the ones that are responsible for the release of the chronic wasting disease on our deer and elk. She says they are so concerned about wildlife that they destroyed or incinerated all of the elk and several elk farms. Now that’s spread around the country. They’re not to be trusted on this, says Jenny. And I guess I also need to get an update on the ostriches in Canada. That’s all kind of related. So what do you think about this chronic wasting disease? After you tell us what’s going on with the ostriches.
SPEAKER 07 :
So the ostriches are pretty much still in the holding pattern. The government’s still there threatening to kill them. Katie and her family are still keeping them at bay. There are so many things that are taking place. But at this point in the last week, there’s been no change. I suggest anybody that’s curious about prions and chronic wasting disease is supposedly a prion. the same exact prion that led to bovine spongiform encephalopathy, the cow that stole Christmas in 2003. I’m going to put together a calculation this week on how much money the beef industry has spent on protecting fellow cattlemen and consumers from prion disease. And my guest on Friday’s Rural Route, Dusty Backer, who’s been studying this for four years, has documented there is no such thing as a prion. No prion has ever been discovered. We now believe, I believe, he convinced me, I’ve done a tremendous amount of research since Friday, the whole chronic wasting disease is not factual. It does not exist. That this deer issue, EHD… which is killing deer, is a real disease, can be tracked. Chronic wasting disease as a result of a prion is not a real thing. But Jenny’s right. In the 1960s, Colorado State led the work, and they were the ones that were going to prove or disprove that cervids, deer and elk in the wild, posed a threat to the domestic cattle population. So if you were grazing cattle in the Rockies and they interacted with deer or elk, was there a threat to the cattle population? Well, what we know is is that CWD is not transferable from one person to, from one cervid to another species. It is not contagious is what I’m trying to say. And then what Jenny’s referring to is that After a period of time, they decided that, no, there was no issue here. So they loaded up some deer and hauled them. I even found the health records when this happened, when I dug into this about 20 years ago, from Fort Collins to Wisconsin. And then they had this whole blowing up issue of deer in Wisconsin with supposed CWD issues. And here’s all you have to ask. This is the research. Anybody wants to verify this? You want to talk to a scientist at Colorado State? Ask them to show you a prion. No prion, which supposedly was discovered in 1986, no prion has ever been identified or found under microscopic activity. If that whole thing is a lie, which I believe it is. And I believe that the deer develop holes in their brain as a result of mineral deficiencies, and this is very well documented. The amount of money that has been put at play in this particular regard and the deer and elk people who continue to jump through hoops unnecessarily for a prion disease, the prion does not exist today. There’s a lot of explanations that need to take place here because we’re talking in the beef industry. Maybe for certain, billions of dollars have been spent to protect people from prions.
SPEAKER 18 :
Hmm. So your opinion, CSU, this sounds like this stuff’s been going on for a long, long time.
SPEAKER 07 :
Since the 60s. And the story that they gave us was that they conducted this research at Colorado State for up to five years, and they decided, oh, there’s nothing here, nothing to see here, no problem. And then after the fact, they came up with, oh, wait, we misinterpreted this. The incubation period for this disease is seven years, so we didn’t give it enough time. Well, first of all, most cows don’t live to be seven years old. Our market animals are less than 26 months, for the most part, for sure less than 30 months. And yet, on December 28, 2003, Ann Veneman in a press conference, and I keep quoting Ann Veneman, and I know somebody wrote it for her, but she was the Secretary of Agriculture at the time. She started, I still hear her, Kim, in my head saying this statement. In an abundance of caution, we are going to identify specified risk material and remove that from the carcass. And what that means is, and they’re trying to convince us, that prions only exist in the brain and spinal tissue. So we are going to remove brain and spinal tissue from the human food population. And we’re going to solve this problem. And at that time, I remember that it cost $150 extra per animal to do this. And we’re still doing it. We’ve done it every year to every beef animal, every sheep. By the way, sheep get scrapey. supposedly a prion disease which does not exist. Cattle get BSE, supposedly a prion disease which prions don’t exist. And deer and elk get chronic wasting disease from a prion. A prion doesn’t exist. We’ve been lied to.
SPEAKER 18 :
Okay. Speaking of that, we have about three minutes left. I read a story recently of a family where the daughter is in her 20s, been vegan for many years. I think so many of our young women that are highly educated are vegans. But what they have found is this young woman in her 20s is having some significant health challenges. And it’s because she doesn’t have enough iron. And I think it’s probably because she didn’t eat protein for so many years. You’ve got two minutes. What’s your comments on that?
SPEAKER 07 :
It’s been a while. I’m glad you reminded me of this. I used to interview people on a pretty regular basis that had been vegan at one point in time. And it’s a cult. It’s an absolute cult what happens. And the lady that I interviewed from California who you can find her. She goes on her handle on most social media is recovering vegan. She told me just straight up what happens is you get in this cult and you start developing sickness. You start developing some symptoms that make you not feel good. And they tell you, well, you’re not vegan enough. the data shows that 80% of the people who are vegan at one point in time come back. And most of them don’t even come back to just eating milk, meat, and eggs. They come back to a carnivore type diet because they got so sick from the depletion of the nutrients. They don’t avoid eating protein. They simply don’t eat protein that has the nutrient density that milk, meat, and eggs has. This is a And Dr. Georgia Ede was the best interview that I did. She’s a psychiatrist who looked at the mental health of people who do not consume animal products, and it’s a struggle. Dr. Lindsay Allen from University of California, Davis went to Kenya and studied kids in Kenya for two years and came home and said, and she’s an employee. She was on a contract with USDA, but an employee of University of California, Davis. She point blank said, after my studies in Kenya, if parents do not force their kids to eat animal products for the protein and fat, because your brain is fat and cholesterol, and you’ve got to feed that thing. And what have we been told not to have? Cholesterol and fat. Consequently, Lindsay Allen said, I think parents should be charged with child neglect if they do not make their kids eat animal proteins and fats.
SPEAKER 18 :
Wow. Goodness gracious. Always learn something, Trent Luce. We’ll do this again next Wednesday. I certainly appreciate it. And how can people find you, Trent Luce?
SPEAKER 07 :
LuceTalesMedia.com. Luce, L-O-U-S-T-A-L-E-S, Media.com. And we have the 2025 Man March coming up in Tennessee and North Carolina. All of the details are right there on the homepage of LuceTalesMedia.com.
SPEAKER 18 :
All right. We’ll talk next week. Have a great week. And our quote for the end of the show is Will Rogers. He said this. Some people try to turn back their odometers. He says, not me. I want people to know why I look this way. I’ve traveled a long way and some of the roads weren’t paved. 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, and God bless America.
SPEAKER 08 :
Like a new moon rising fierce Through the rain and lightning Wandering out into this great unknown And I don’t want no one to cry. But tell them if I don’t survive.
