Join Kim Monson in an enlightening episode as she breaks down the intricate and often concealed world of property taxation with guest Mitch Bexler. As the conversation unfolds, listeners gain a deeper understanding of how governmental control over transportation, education, housing, and more operates under the guise of bipartisanship. Through Mitch’s expertise, this episode exposes the alarming reality of tax lien foreclosures and the fraudulent underpinnings of our tax systems that are stripping equity and causing financial distress among Americans.
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s the Kim Monson Show, analyzing the most important stories.
SPEAKER 11 :
The socialization of transportation, education, energy, housing, and water, what it means is that government controls it through rules and regulations.
SPEAKER 15 :
The latest in politics and world affairs.
SPEAKER 11 :
Under this guise of bipartisanship and nonpartisanship, it’s actually tapping down the truth.
SPEAKER 15 :
Today’s current opinions and ideas.
SPEAKER 11 :
On an equal field in the battle of ideas, mistruths and misconceptions is getting us into a world of hurt.
SPEAKER 15 :
Is it freedom or is it force? Let’s have a conversation.
SPEAKER 11 :
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 I get to work with a great team. That’s Producer Joe, Luke, Rachel, Zach, Echo, Charlie, Mike, Amanda, and all the people here at Crawford Broadcasting. Be sure and check out our website. After three years of work, we have created the Kim Monson Newsroom as well as the Kim Monson Community. and join us. It’s only $50 a year for the Montpelier level, $100 a year for the Monticello level, and $200 a year for the Mount Vernon level. And the first 250 people that join at the Mount Vernon level will be known as founding patrons. And we chose the number 250 because this is the 250th birthday of America this year. And so join us. We’ve got really what we want to do is create a community where we can converse and connect and contemplate these ideas so that we can reclaim this great American idea. And also, while you’re there, sign up for the weekly email newsletter that goes out on Sundays. If you are signed up, you still need to sign up for our new daily digest, our news digest that will go out Monday through Friday. So you can do all of that at the website. And I thank all of you who support us because we are an independent voice on an independent station searching for truth and clarity. As we look at these issues through the lens of freedom versus force, force versus freedom, if something’s a good idea, you should not need to use force to implement it. And it’s not compassionate and it’s not altruistic to take other people’s stuff, whether or not it’s their rights, their property, freedom, livelihood, opportunity, childhood, or lives via force and control. And force can be a weapon. but it can be policy and unpredictable excessive taxation, fees, fear, coercion, government-induced inflation, and this agenda of the World Economic Forum and globalist elites that’s playing out All the way down to our local levels, our special district levels, our school district levels. And remember, if something’s a good idea, you should not need to use force to implement it. On the show, we focus on the issues. We’ll talk about the people behind those issues, but we really work to stay out of all of the eighth grade girl fighting that can happen in politics. And I did want to say thank you to Laramie Energy for their gold 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 fuels our lives, powers our hopes and dreams, and empowers us to change our own personal climate. And if you have any need of help with your own personal climate, reach out to Bins Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling, and they can certainly help you with that as well. Another great sponsor of the show. We are pre-recording these shows for the week of Easter, and we focus on featured guests throughout each hour. And I’m pleased to have Mitch Vexler on the line. He lives in Texas. He’s founder of Mockingbird Productions. property. So he’s been a real estate developer for many years. And we’re talking about property taxes. And he’d been on the show recently. And I realized that we have so, so many questions. And of course, the text line was on fire as we were going through this, this particular interview. So I thought Mitch would be perfect to give him a whole show to talk about this. So Mitch Bexler, welcome to the show.
SPEAKER 03 :
Good morning. Thank you very much for inviting me back, and I look forward to walking this through so everybody can get a little bit more in-depth as to what’s really going on and the crimes that are being committed against them.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, property taxes, I am concerned that people, I said the last time would be taxed out of their homes because of property taxes. You said it is happening right now, Mitch Wexler.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yes, you’ve already had tens of thousands of people across the United States who have lost their homes due to tax lien foreclosure. That will ramp up, and it is ramping up literally by the day. And it’s not an exaggeration. This is very real because, give or take, across the United States, you’ve got 37.8% of the household population facing bankruptcy and or losing the roof over their head as a direct result of the fraudulent taxation. That’s a real number. Here in Texas, give or take, it’s pretty close to about 4 million households. This is happening. It’s real.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, and it is homes. Also, I am hearing stories from mom and pop operations here in Colorado. For example, I know a small business that a few years ago, property taxes were $12,000. Then they went up to around $24,000. I think that they’re at $60,000 right now. This is something that you’re calling equity stripping.
SPEAKER 03 :
It’s worse than equity stripping, but let’s run with that just for a second. So I’ll explain to everybody what that is. But when you have a mortgage on your home, that mortgage gets paid down to zero over a 20, 25, or 30-year time frame. That’s your amortization. What has happened here is they have literally flipped and stripped what would be your amortization and stripped it out in the form of overtaxation. and overvaluation. So your principal reduction while you sleep is being stripped right out of your mortgage and right into their pockets, which means anybody who would normally have paid off that house hasn’t paid it off because the taxation takes that money. That’s part of the problem there. But it gets worse when you realize that you have 401ks and pensions that are also connected to this problem. So why? Because the 401ks and pensions hold school district bonds. So not only is mom and pop getting equity stripped, they’re getting stripped in terms of the real rate of return on their pension. When somebody says, well, I’m going to have my house bought and paid for when I retire, it just simply isn’t true because the taxes, think of where they will be based on the bond fraud that has occurred today when you put a 25- or 30-year amortization, which is reverse amortization, on that bond fraud. meaning mom and pop are obligated by virtue of utter fraud, pay for the liability, financial sins of what the school districts and the central appraisal districts have done. Not only are you being equity strict, that’s just one element of it. That’s one tier. Your 401k and your pension is tier two and tier three. There will be no money for retirement. This system is beyond bankrupt. This system has got to be destroyed and mom and pop’s property returned to them without future payments, to cover off this fraud.
SPEAKER 11 :
Fraud is such a strong word on this, Mitch Bexler, and I want to delve into that deeper when we come back from this break. And we talk about, we have these important conversations on the show because we have wonderful sponsors, and I’m really blessed to work with great people. And I’m talking with Roger Mangan with the Roger Mangan State Farm Insurance Team. And Roger, let’s talk about homeowners insurance. That is something that is really important.
SPEAKER 01 :
Yeah, there’s a lot. I mean, when you think about it, your home is your refuge after a long day’s work. It’s the hub of everything that really matters in your life for the most part. And you relax with your family. So you need to have that homeowners policy with a company you trust and you have a relationship with. And that’s what we seek at the Mangan Agency. You know, when you look at a house, a house is a home, but at the same time, you take for granted the coverages that you think you may have. So let’s highlight some of the coverages that are obvious to most people. For example, windstorm and hail, that’s a covered loss. Fire or lightning. Theft. Smoke damage. vandalism, freezing of the plumbing, the weight of ice and snow or sleet on your roof. And you also have your possessions covered as well. You have liability coverage. And, of course, the house itself is critical. Most homeowners policies, let’s say we insure you for $500,000. there’s an endorsement attached to the policy automatically. It gives you another 20%, so another $100,000 in this case. So your $500,000 house isn’t sure for $600,000. And the reason for that endorsement is if a storm occurs, a catastrophic loss occurs, then prices go up on everything, roofing materials, et cetera. So you’re given extra coverage for those types of events. But I would really suggest that you stay informed because even though we have inflation guard in your policy, that 500 next year might be 520. The year after that might be 550. It’s going to go up automatically, but it may not be going up fast enough in Colorado with the increased costs and inflation and everything else that’s hitting the contractors in the state of Colorado. And one of the things I really think you should be aware of is you should also have, in addition to liability coverage on your home, And that is so important. It’s automatic in most policies today. So it’s $300,000 with us when we quote it. Someone falls on your property or your dog bites somebody, that’s your liability coverage. There’s no deductible associated with that. I had an event years ago where two skiers are going down the hill. They collided with one another. One got injured. And the other one was okay. We got a call at my office. This is back in the late 80s. Got a call from one of the people in the ski accident that was injured saying they got hit. ironically, the other person was also insured by me, by my agency. So we had two people, and they had to, I mean, you’re covered. If you hurt someone or you actually kill someone on a ski slope, your homeowner’s policy is going to protect you. And that’s worldwide, not just in the state of Colorado, anywhere in the U.S. or anywhere in the world. So some other things we should talk about would be If you don’t have an umbrella liability policy, which today they’re getting pretty expensive because there are a lot of claims, but you can add an endorsement to your little old homeowner’s policy called personal injury, which would really create additional coverages for you at a very nominal cost, maybe $60 a year, to actually embed in your homeowner’s policy something somewhat like an umbrella policy. However, it doesn’t replace an umbrella. The umbrella liability policy for a million dollars is so important to protect your assets from exposures, especially in automobile crashes. And there isn’t a night that goes by or a day I don’t hear lawyers trying to get you to drive a lawsuit to their firm. So we’re over, I think we’ve got an overabundance of attorneys who want to make some money representing you in a lawsuit. Some of them are very ethical and some of them aren’t so.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, and that’s why it’s important to know what you have. And you and your team will provide a complimentary appointment, complimentary assessment to go over people’s insurance, correct? Absolutely.
SPEAKER 01 :
Absolutely. We’d love to do that. What’s that phone number? The phone number is 303-795-8855. That’s 303-795-8855. Like a good neighbor, the Roger Mangan team is there.

And so go to USMCMemorialFoundation.org. and sign up. It should be a great day of golf and also to support the Marine Memorial. We’re talking with Mitch Vexler. He’s president and founder of Mockingbird Properties, hedge realtor, advisors, and affiliates based in Dallas, Texas. He has over 30 years of experience in commercial real estate and has held interest in more than 85 property investment entities throughout the United States and Canada. But he is… really focused on this issue of out-of-control property taxes, and he’s used the word fraud regarding this. That’s such a strong word, Mitch Bexler. Walk me through this.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay, so just recently, and to make a long story short, forget the 2016 history to date, but what we really have is a response. We have two responses. from opposing counsel to the Supreme Court of Texas. Both those responses are literally arguing that the law does not apply to the central appraisal district or the individuals within that district. That is a straight-up lie. And opposing counsel’s responses are the playbook across the United States to prove the collusion and criminal conspiracy to defraud. It’s in the responses by opposing counsel. opposing counsel put in writing literally propaganda from the socialist handbook, including this is for the kids, police, and firemen. That is a lie. The proof of that statement being 100% that 37.8% of the household population is facing bankruptcy as a result of a fraudulent taxation, and that includes the kids, police, and firemen. The opposing counsel’s position is literally guaranteeing taxation without representation. You mentioned at the very beginning 250-year history. Well, how do you think that history came about? It was based on one clause, one item, that there would be no taxation without representation. Representation meaning without law. Opposing counsel’s position guarantees taxation without representation, meaning taxation without law. That is fraud. That is fraud upon the citizens of the United States in totality because not just this is affecting properties. The inflation that comes from this by virtue of the fraudulent overvaluation and overtaxation literally touches the lives of every single citizen. Did you know that in your cappuccino in the morning, there’s seven elements of real estate tax? If those taxes keep going up, such as what you’ve got there in Jesco County, you’re going to have problems. The money does not exist, and that’s the point of this. The money doesn’t exist to pay for the fraud. These bonds, give or take, it’s $5.1 trillion. Plus, right now, effective today, compound cumulative interest growing. by the nanosecond. It can’t be paid for today because you’ve got 37.8% of the household population in harm’s way of bankruptcy. Today, it will only go up. So these counties that say, well, we’re going to raise the mill rate or we’re going to raise the property, one must realize both are outside the scope of law. Both are outside the scope of math. Both are outside the rule of 72. What they’ve really done, this is a criminal organization straight across the United States. We’ve got the proof on my website. We have literally a fellow by the name of Latrell working for the Denton Central Appraisal District saying, well, we’ve got workarounds. A workaround, the definition of a workaround is fraud, synonym, one and the same. That word workarounds literally showed up, believe it or not, 10 days ago out of Johnson County, Central Appraisal District. We have an audit that was done on them. I would call it an audit light because it didn’t get very heavy into the math. But the bottom line is on page four of that document is that word workarounds. Over and above that in 2015 from the California Policy Center, I got my hands on a document about 90 days ago. It was written in 2015. So not only does that document mention the workarounds, but it gets into the election bond fraud. It gets into the advertising of how it was done and how it is being done. There are so many frauds with inside of this. It just simply doesn’t stop. And that’s the point of all of this, which is this system is not savable. This is no longer a system. This is a criminal conspiracy to defraud. And it is not a system. It literally is people. It’s a crime scene. That’s really what you’ve got here is a full-blown crime scene, and everybody that’s participating in this is a co-conspirator in a criminal conspiracy to defraud. That’s what we’re showing the Supreme Court of Texas.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, Mitch Vexler, we had talked in between during the break that Jefferson County, Colorado School District is probably going to be asking for a mill levy override this November, which would increase people’s property taxes. Now, you mentioned taxation without representation. We have this illusion, I would say, that people are voting and have representation. So out here in Colorado, we have something called TABOR, Colorado’s Taxpayers Bill of Rights, where I call them PBIs, politicians and bureaucrats and interested parties. If they want to increase our taxes, it has to go to a vote of the people. If they want to incur debt, it has to go to a vote of the people. If they want to keep excess revenue above a generous formula of inflation plus population, they have to ask for the vote of the people. Now, they’ve been doing workarounds. And in fact, this Colorado state legislature is sending Senate Bill 135 to the ballot this November to totally gut Tabor because they want to keep it all. They want to keep all the money. But there’s this illusion that. Mitch Bexler, out here in Colorado that people are voting for these tax increases or these mill levy overrides. So your comment on that.
SPEAKER 03 :
The document from the California Policy Center literally deals with this exact issue. People are not voting for these overrides. This is utter nonsense. This is bond collection fraud. So your tax dollars portion of those dollars are literally being spent to create false advertising over and above that they’ve written the laws in such a way that a minority an extreme minority of people who vote for this end up voting for the debt on the back of all the other citizens and as an example of that here in texas you have salina texas where roughly a thousand people voted for these bonds Do you realize that the bonds that they voted for just recently, 90 days ago, $2.5 billion on top of the already existing
SPEAKER 11 :
But there will be those that have said, oh, but you had the opportunity to vote and you didn’t. And it was apathy and low voter turnout. And yes, the idea we have, I was looking at South Suburban Parks and Recreation District regarding one of their recent bonds and also the elections for the board of directors. This is a massive budget, but not many people voted in it. So address that, Mitch.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay, so this whole thing is nothing more than a scam with regard to the advertising. So let’s cut to the chase, and I’ll explain this. So we have the documented history on my website of bond election fraud, bond fraud, accounting fraud, overvaluation and overtaxation fraud. There’s gigabytes of evidence. There’s over 1,100 evidentiary documents on that website. So to cut to the chase, no homeowner or renter voted to have 8.6% of their gross income paid in property taxes. No homeowner or renter agreed to bond election fraud. No homeowner or renter agreed to school district bond fraud, which can’t be paid off. No homeowner or renter agreed to be the guarantor for bond fraud by the school district or the fraud of overvaluation and overtaxation by the central appraisal districts and the criminals therein. This is being done not just by the CAD and not just by the school districts, but the employees i.e., your school district superintendent and the chief appraiser. No homeowner agreed to lose the roof over their head or go bankrupt due to tax lien foreclosure. No commercial property owner agreed to allow false income and expense statements to be created by individuals within the central appraisal district from which the money is extorted. So the point of all this is, okay, answer just one simple question to that county. When you have this amount of bond debt, i.e. Celina, give or take $3 billion now, answer just one simple question. How is it you’re going to pay this off when it’s growing compound cumulative? You can’t pay it off today. The homeowners can’t pay these amounts off today. These school districts are bankrupt. So if you literally walk into your school district in that county, Colorado, and demand that they give you exactly how much money, and I mean exactly, How much in outstanding fraudulent school district bond debt exists? Turn over the Q-SIPS. Those are the numbers that are recorded. Turn them over. Now, answer one simple question. Where is the money going to come from to pay off these bonds? The reality is they can’t answer the question because the money isn’t there today, and it won’t be there tomorrow morning. The school districts are bankrupt, and these bonds, if you were to say, well, we’re going to pay this off, and we’re going to try and fix it, Those bonds are probably worth 13 cents on the dollar. So it comes right back to what I was saying before with regard to the pensions and the 401ks and the equity stripping. Mama, Papa’s screwed. There is no money to pay for this. The median household income doesn’t exist.
SPEAKER 11 :
So, Mitch Vexler, you said the Q-SIPS, which that is like the security code on that. Shouldn’t we, everyday people, be able to… easily find out how many bonds mill levy overrides each school district has, or is that difficult to find that information?
SPEAKER 03 :
In my humble opinion, it’s impossible, because if you literally type in, and I did it last week using AI, AI came back with no answer. It was a very simple question. How much of school district bond debt exists as part of a pension, as part of pensions? No answer. Over and above that, here in Texas, we have something called the Bond Review Board, of which Governor Abbott is the chairman. I’ve raised a couple of questions. First of all, Governor Abbott, why are you the chairman of the Bond Review Board for the state of Texas? Second question is, Governor Abbott, why is there a $24 billion bust in the numbers between the Bond Review Board and the Texas Education Agency? Third question, Governor Abbott, how much are you getting paid to be a chairman of the Bond Review Board? Fourth question, Governor Abbott, why exactly And how much money have you received from the Texas Education Agency in political contributions? And by the way, this isn’t a personal statement, right? I’ve actually filed a criminal complaint against the entire executive branch of the state of Texas. It was that criminal complaint that forced the Attorney General to issue on December 7th a 1,000-district investigation into this overvaluation. These things are all connected, but nobody, and I mean nobody, across the United States so far has been able to answer that question on any given school district. How are you going to pay this off? You’ve got $5.1 trillion. And by the way, that number is not the real number. That’s extremely light. I’ve been told that by counsel in Washington because this money is splattered all over the place like a spider web. These bonds are splattered everywhere. They’re in 401ks. They’re in pensions. They’re in banks’ holdings for bonds. the banks are required to hold a certain amount of bonds but simply just based on simple math you’ve got 5.1 trillion right now today and the money doesn’t exist to pay it off and it’s growing just like in your school district it’s growing okay we’re going to continue this discussion
SPEAKER 11 :
because my mind is on fire. I have so many questions on this. We’re talking with Mitch Bexler regarding, well, equity stripping, where people are losing their wealth that they’ve created because of this debt, the school debt. And so we’ve got to continue the discussion. These discussions happen because of our sponsors. And for everything regarding residential real estate in the metro area, talk to Karen Levine.

We’re talking about, ultimately, the big picture here is, is I think it’s an assault upon the American middle class. As people, everyday people, mom and pop businesses, have worked to create wealth for themselves and for their families in investing in their home, their home, residents and creating wealth there and their businesses. And Mitch just said that we’re seeing something that’s called equity stripping. And of course, one of those things that happens is you’re being taxed every year on what is said to be an unrealized gain on your home. So you say your home property values go up and you get taxed more. And I would really like to start something, Mitch Bexler. Particularly like when you’re on the show, I’d like to have the bumper music be, remember that old song, where have all the flowers gone? I’d like to have something, where’s all the money gone, Mitch?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, it’s actually worse. And yes, you have the banks and the shadow banks that are participating in all of this. But to your point, the retirement that mom and pop thinks they have just simply isn’t there. So since the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913, when the U.S. dollar was valued at $1,017, it’s a number, basis number. But now, today, it is sub-30. That is the disintegration of purchasing power. That is inflation. And inflation is another hidden tax. So when you add the real estate tax, fraud at the school districts, On fraud that exists that’s growing compound cumulative, it’s reverse amortization. So let’s be clear. You would pay off your mortgage. What these idiots have done is they’ve created reverse amortization where they’re not paying off the mortgage. They’re rolling it out in time and rolling the interest up. Then these debts get cut like lines of cocaine and levered. And that’s why the attorneys in Washington have said it’s much bigger than the $5.1 trillion. And my response was, yes, but I can quantify the $5.1 trillion. And it is true. I can’t quantify the 313 agreements. No one in the United States has been able to quantify the total amount of fraudulent outstanding school district bonds. No one’s got a total list of the Q6.
SPEAKER 11 :
Are you saying that it’s fraudulent because they were dishonest when they were selling it to the voter to vote on it?
SPEAKER 03 :
It is 100% election fraud, yes. But it’s worse because the law is clear. What they have done is they’ve just simply said, well, we’re not going to adhere to the 14th Amendment, the 5th Amendment, the 16th Amendment. We’re not going to adhere to the American Procedures Act. All of these are federal. We’re not going to adhere to RICO on a federal level. And at a local level, at a state level, while uniform and equal, forget that. We’re not going to adhere to that either. And that is literally in the writing.
SPEAKER 11 :
But it’s not every school district, is it, Mitch?
SPEAKER 03 :
Any school district that is raising bonds has a high probability that that school district is bankrupt. period. That’s the reality. The money doesn’t exist to pay for the fraudulent outstanding school district bonds. It’s an illusion. It just simply isn’t true.
SPEAKER 11 :
So if I were able to go to do my research and find all of the bonds and the mill levy overrides, what that amount is, and then divide it by the households in that Then I, and well, I guess I’d have to include businesses, all those with taxable property, right? Okay, help me.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, yeah, don’t include the businesses. Just focus on the houses because there’s so much other, so many other items that you are not familiar with, such as the energy contracts, the off-balance sheet financing. This is what the school districts are doing in addition to the bond fraud. So the businesses would cover off those other points. parts of the fraud just stay focused on the houses what is the bond debt in your school district divided by the number of houses in that school district by way of example in godly texas the outstanding fraudulent school district bond debt per household is 120 grand roughly the value of a house in godly texas on average is 160 grand they’ve got a 75 second mortgage that most of mom and pops don’t even know exist, that liability is on their back. How many households do you know can afford 70% or 80% additional liability to be paid off over the next 20 to 40 years? They can’t pay it off today, and it’s growing compound cumulative interest daily. It is a mathematical impossibility. Median household income does not exist. to pay these debts, period.
SPEAKER 11 :
Mitch Vexler, I think that in a way, it seems like we’re prosperous people and people will, Jefferson had said, and I’m paraphrasing, but people will put up with a lot until finally they say enough. And I think we’re getting close to enough. I saw a headline that out in California that there’s a movement to get rid of the gas tax there. And it seems like taxes were instrumental in the reason that America was founded. I think we’re getting to a point where people are paying attention. I think it’s kind of like the story about the frog in the water. How do you boil a frog? Well, you just keep turning up the heat. And I think people are just about to recognize that we’re at a boiling point. So what should we do about this? I know that you are going through the legal system. You’ve recently had some things happen at the Texas Supreme Court. So what can people do about this?
SPEAKER 03 :
On my website are the two responses, one from the chief appraiser, who’s represented by opposing counsel, as well as the central appraisal district, also represented by opposing counsel. But I’m making the claim that opposing counsel, not a claim, I’m stating it, I’ve already put them in a criminal complaint, is acting not only on behalf of those two entities and people, but on behalf of themselves as a co-conspirator in a criminal conspiracy to defraud. Every legitimate attorney should go and read the responses from opposing counsel. Opposing counsel is literally lying to the Supreme Court of Texas. Their entire document is nonsense and is offset by every stitch of proof over 1,100 documents. Well, I want to make the point that what you’re seeing opposing counsel do and the lies being told are replicated. In every school district that is raising bonds, they are choosing not to adhere to the law in favor of the fraud.
SPEAKER 11 :
And what is the law they’re not adhering to?
SPEAKER 03 :
Every law that is on the books, RICO, American Procedures Act, your state’s Procedures Act, 15th, I’m sorry, 14th Amendment, 5th Amendment, 1st Amendment with regard to the ability to speak because they even stopped mom and pop from speaking at their events, legitimate meetings. Oh, no, you can’t talk about this or we’re going to take you down to two minutes to make your point. All of these things in combination are violations of law. Speaking of which, on my website, you can do a word search and just look up violations.pdf. There’s over 10 pages of violations of law. They’re violating their own state laws. They’re violating federal law. They’re violating the math. There’s nothing in here that says these bonds have any ability to be paid off. It’s mathematically impossible. One simple reason, the median household income doesn’t exist to pay off a second mortgage, which is in essence what they’ve done.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay. Okay. Mitch Bexler, you’re a successful developer. Why are you doing this for mom and pop? Why are you doing this?
SPEAKER 03 :
It’s an interesting question, but here’s the reality. I have tenants. I’ve had thousands of tenants and I get a chance to speak to those thousands of tenants. I see on the leases what the income is. I see the growth on an annual basis in the fraud on the property taxes. So if you’re a renter, and bear in mind, I am a multifamily builder, right? If you’re a renter, And the value of that unit, the apartment unit is $325,000 give or take, which is generally speaking a new construction cost. Well, that means that that unit is paying roughly $7,000 per year in real estate tax. What makes you think that that particular tenant is earning that type of income? They aren’t. So if I have to go to my investors and say, well, I’m going to go and build new multifamily. I’m going to expose you, the investors, to the fraud being committed by the central appraisal districts and school districts where we stand a chance on a $50 million investment of not only not making money but losing money as the taxes increase on an annual basis, not based on any math, not based on any law, just because they want to avoid the law. My problem is I can’t do that. I wouldn’t go to my investors and expose them to this risk. So I’m not building. I saw this coming. I exited out. I want to build. If I had the opportunity to build, I’d be the first guy in line to shove everybody out of the way and say, get out of my way. Let me go. But I can’t. And then I have retail tenants. The exact same problem. When you’ve got triple nets running at $7, $8, $10 a square foot, The bottom line is that retail tenants cannot afford more than $18 a square foot because the probability of them going bankrupt increases dramatically. So the triple nets go up. They can’t afford more than $18 a square foot. And everybody that believes that that statement isn’t true, well, you’re delusional. Go and look at the amount of tenants that are turning over. You have the same thing in industrial. So why am I doing this? Because if this doesn’t get done and doesn’t get fixed, You can kiss everything that you think exists. You can kiss it goodbye. Your retirement, goodbye. That’s the reality of this because there’s so many elements that this school district bond touches. It’s in the banks. It’s in your 401K. It’s in your pension. It’s in the equity stripping of your mortgage. These are all things that are tied at the hip. None of this is real. These bonds have got to be flushed. The outstanding $5.1 trillion, put them into bankruptcy. All these school districts have participated in this. If you can’t pay off, if you can’t prove that you can pay off these bonds within a three-year window and immediately prove it within 60 days, force the school districts into bankruptcy.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay. The question then is, we’re going to go to break, is what happens next? if these school districts go into bankruptcy.

SPEAKER 11 :
And 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 this week of Easter, we are pre-recording these shows and we can focus on our featured guests for the complete hour. But we have these important discussions because of our sponsors. One of those is Hooters Restaurants. They have locations in Loveland, Westminster, and in Aurora. And great specials Monday through Friday for lunch and for happy hour. And how I got to know them, it’s a really important story about when I was on city council. And it’s a story about freedom and free markets and capitalism and those pesky PBIs, those politicians and bureaucrats and interested parties that want to use their power to try to control us. And so I really do appreciate the sponsorship of Hooters Restaurants for both the Kim Monson Show and America’s Veterans Stories. We are talking with Mitch Bexler. He is the founder of Mockingbird Properties, which is located in Texas. And we’re talking about school bonds. He uses the word fraud with this. And Mitch, if these school districts, you said they are in bankruptcy, but if that is acknowledged, What happens? What happens to teachers? What happens to students? What happens to people’s pensions if, in fact, we address this problem right now?
SPEAKER 03 :
There is no other solution but to address this problem, which includes putting more schools, any school that’s participating in the bonds that cannot pay them off within three years, bring them down to zero, must take bankruptcy. There is no other solution. But part of that solution is in favor of the uniform state’s sales tax. There are school districts now here in Texas that have already filed bankruptcy. I believe that Governor Abbott, during his upcoming last four years, will end up overseeing bankruptcy of the majority of school districts in Texas. This is a reality. The answer to your question is about the pensions that are connected to this with regard to the bonds. Those pensions are going to get hit. no doubt about it your 401ks that are participating in these school district bonds they’re going to get hit these bonds aren’t worth 13 cents somewhere between 13 and 30 cents on the dollar if you were to decide to pay them off problem is they can’t be paid off because they keep adding more bonds to the story it’s growing compound cumulative the only solution is the bankruptcy so in favor of the uniform state’s sales tax. What happens, the school districts will have money, the cities will have money through the sales tax. But using the sales tax, you get rid of the central appraisal districts. You get rid of the boards. You get rid of the school district board. You get rid of the school district superintendent. You get rid of the assessor collectors. There’s a whole cadre of fraudsters that are participating in all of this that literally deliver nothing. The majority of your schools are getting an F in education. It’s directly tied to the fact that they’ve become a machine to raise bond money, not to spend the money where it needs to go, which is the education of the children. It’s the exact opposite. This system is no longer a system. It’s a crime scene.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, what’s going to happen then to children and teachers? And if there’s no school board, how is the school district… What would that look like?
SPEAKER 03 :
That turns into mom and pop getting involved in their local school district, right? Go back to the 1950s and 1955s where you used to have a real schoolhouse. You used to have teachers, one teacher for every 20 students. You had a much better education system. This entire system now is designed to do nothing but be in control of mom and pop’s money. It has nothing to do with education. It has failed straight across the United States. This is a money-making machine for the fraudsters. The school children are the victims. The teachers are the victims. So we found hidden investment pools inside of the balance sheet of school districts. We don’t know what the 10-year is, who paid in, who’s getting the money, where the money is, what’s the rate of return on it, who’s operating it, in other words, which fund is getting the benefit of the 2% a year, what the churning is. You think the teachers do? They haven’t got a clue what’s going on. The teachers are the victims, just like the children. And anybody that stands up and says, well, we’ve got to raise more money because we’re doing it for the kids, A, you’re stupid, B, you’re lying, C, you’re committing crimes. These are financial crimes. This is literally financial crimes against humanity because it touches the entirety of society in the United States. They’re causing inflation as a direct result.
SPEAKER 11 :
And inflation is a silent thief of your money. So, for example, if you have a dollar in your pocket and a thief comes up and says, give me 10%, you say no, but that thief comes up and decreases your buying power by 10%. regarding inflation. It is like a thief on that. Mitch Vexler, we’ve got about four minutes left. And what’s the final thing to talk about on this particular interview? And we will continue to have these conversations. So what’s the final thing?
SPEAKER 03 :
The Uniform States sales tax would be completely transparent because when you go to a grocery store, in the case of Texas, we’ve called it a 15%. Montana can do it at 9%. but 15% for three years. When you go to the grocery store and you buy a chocolate bar, you’re going to pay a 15 cent tax in total on that chocolate bar. But it’s 100% transparent. Now the state controllers are in charge of that money coming in. Therefore, they’re also in charge of that money going out. And on their website, they can literally drill down to every check that they’ve written to every school district. All of a sudden, the budget’s for every school district gets submitted to the comptroller and it’s online, visible for everybody to see. That is what must occur. There is no other solution. You either do the uniform state sales tax or we’re headed right back to what has occurred in 1775 where you end up with taxation without representation and that is not going to be acceptable. When you have people literally losing their homes, Something bad is going to happen. It’s not a question of if, it’s a question of when.
SPEAKER 11 :
Right, right. So this 15% universal state sales tax, for example, we have local, well, in my town, the sales tax is, I think it’s close to 8%. So would this tax be on top of that to get that to 23% or is that going to be a gross amount or what’s that going to look like?
SPEAKER 03 :
In the case of Texas, it’s 15% only for three years because in the case of Texas, we have these hidden problems. We have the 313 agreements. We have the off-balance sheet financing, all of which is being done at the school districts. We have the energy contracts. So the comptroller has used these mechanisms or weapons which aren’t even on the balance sheets of the school districts. These are all off-balance sheet issues. In order to accomplish and accommodate these off-balance sheet issues, we went high in the case of Texas at 15%. But in the case of Montana, they can go to 9% effective immediately, and they’re good. So every state has its own little idiosyncrasies. But Texas does have these hidden problems. So in order to accomplish and accommodate those problems, we said 15%. But it’s in total, not on top. So right now we’re 8.25%. And it’s only for three years. It goes to 15% for three years, and then it’ll drop down upon stabilization to about 11%. The net result is 8.25% to 11%. But billions of dollars are saved by getting rid of the fraudsters.
SPEAKER 11 :
Right, okay. And you’d also get rid of property taxes then as well, yes?
SPEAKER 03 :
And that means that everybody now owns their house in perpetuity. It’s no longer going to be taxed. You’re no longer going to have to pay rent on something that you think you own. It’s gone.
SPEAKER 11 :
And it should also help renters as well, yes?
SPEAKER 03 :
Absolutely, because you’ve got the same problem. The median household income doesn’t exist. You’ve got the same 37.8% of that population is going to go bankrupt or lose the apartment over their head because the median household income doesn’t exist to pay for everything that’s part of the inflation in today’s world. They’re upside down. They’re living on credit cards.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay. So people can get more information. What is that website, Mitch Bexler? And you have all of the information on what you’re doing there as well, right?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yes. So on the website, it’s mockingbirdproperties.com forward slash DCAD. And within that, in the upper left corner, it says articles, letters, and discussions. You can click on that link and you can see what it is that I’ve been writing. But right below, the second you log on, you will see all these elements that have been filed with the Supreme Court of Texas, and there’s lots to go through there. But the bottom line is everything we’ve spoken about is there. It’s in that website. There’s over 1,100 evidentiary documents. There is no escape. Everything we have is irrefutable and insurmountable. Opposing counsel is lying.
SPEAKER 11 :
And that is at MockingbirdProperties.com. And Mitch Bexler, thank you so much. We’re out of time. Our quote for the end of the show is one that Mitch Bexler had. He said, it’s Einstein.

She is a frequent guest on the show. She guest hosts the show from time to time, and she’s the co-founder of Perspectives 101. Yvonne, welcome.
SPEAKER 09 :
Thank you. It’s such an honor to be here with you.
SPEAKER 11 :
And as you are saying thank you, one of our listeners reached out and said, oh my gosh, she has such a great radio voice.
SPEAKER 09 :
Thank you again.
SPEAKER 11 :
But we want to talk about forced charity. I think that what has happened, and altruism can fall into that word as well, is forced or coerced charity is not really charity at all. And so let’s talk a little bit about this. Your life experiences, you bring a lot to the table on this issue.
SPEAKER 09 :
Sure, thanks. I suppose we could start with how did people in the United States get into this thing? I mean, we’re all charitable people across probably the globe, but somehow I feel, having lived outside of the United States for 15 years, I have the gift of viewing my country through the eyes of a foreigner. And it’s interesting what I see. And so I am an American, but I sometimes refer to Americans as indifferent from other places or what I saw elsewhere. And what I’ve seen is that Americans are very charitable, very good people. But somehow they got sucked into being taxed more. so that the government could be charitable for them. I think they’re plenty charitable of their own accord, and probably the people that might be having their money pulled out of their checks through taxes by the government to then use it for whatever charities the government sees fit, as opposed to the ones that they would have chosen, are probably people that have maybe a little bit less income to be charitable with, because those that have… bit of disposable income, I have seen that Americans are quite charitable.
SPEAKER 11 :
And I think what has happened is that Americans have lost sight of the proper role of government. And to your point, people say, so PBIs, politicians, bureaucrats, and interested parties will come in and say, this is for the children, or this is to help the downtrodden. Give us your taxes. And maybe some of the money does get to the children or the downtrodden. But rest assured, there are PBIs that are making big bucks. Just take a look at homelessness. Remember when John Hickenlooper, who was the mayor of Denver, now U.S. Senator, said that, basically, I’m paraphrasing. Tax yourself and we will take care of the homelessness problem within a certain amount of years. Wait a minute. If you’ve got PBIs that are making big bucks on these government programs, are they going to solve the problem?
SPEAKER 09 :
Absolutely not. And the problem has only grown. So he has proven that not only did he take the money, but he didn’t do what he said he would do with the money. They grew the problem. And like you said, the more the problem grows, the more it needs to be solved. handled. And all that money that goes into handling it, some of it probably goes to handle it and the rest of it goes who knows where. I mean, haven’t we learned anything from when the government takes your money and through these so-called non-profits, they kind of money launder it through the government first, money launder it through the non-profit, and then they don’t get Whatever it is accomplished, they might take a bite out of it, sometimes not even that, because look at what we’ve found has happened in Minnesota with these programs that were for, I think those particular ones were for early…
SPEAKER 11 :
Child care. Learning. They couldn’t even spell learning.
SPEAKER 09 :
But anytime they suck your money, the government sucks your money and puts it through a nonprofit to go to something. The one thing I know growing up in Latin America is that the government was corrupt. Actually, the people who worked for the government were corrupt. And any money they got went in their pockets. I mean, that can be so explained by so many, if not all, of the presidents of Mexico. I’ll say so many because it’s never all or never. But so many of the presidents in Latin America and so many of the ones I saw in Mexico had to then live outside of their country after they were done being presidents because they stole so much money and all their cronies stole so much money that they wouldn’t be safe for them to live in their own country anymore. And we started to do the same thing here.
SPEAKER 11 :
And that’s why this thing up in Minnesota is just blowing the top off is what is happening. That’s not just Minnesota.
SPEAKER 09 :
No, it’s California, I think. I mean, it’s probably everywhere.
SPEAKER 11 :
It is probably everywhere. And I think people… are starting to pay attention because I think that people are feeling like they are being looked at as, I don’t know if this is the word, but as chumps, as they’re being played, if you will. And people don’t like that. As cows to be milked for money? Yeah. Well, eventually, eventually the cash cow is gone. And the American people, I really think that this has been an assault upon the middle class. So we’re going to keep that as a… We’re talking with Yvonne Paez, a frequent guest and guest host of The Kim Monson Show, as well as she is the co-founder of Perspectives 101. And all of these discussions happen because of our wonderful sponsors.

She is a frequent guest on the Kim Monson Show, a guest host of the Kim Monson Show from time to time. But you’re the co-founder of Perspectives 101. Tell us just a little bit about that before we get into the balance of the conversation.
SPEAKER 09 :
So Perspectives 101 is really just a civic group for people in northern Colorado. I mean, everybody’s welcome, but it’s located up in northern Colorado. And it just really was born of us having conversations with people about what was happening in our communities, our state, and our country. And a lot of people saying, well, I didn’t know that or I had no idea. And the other co-founder and I, we… basically thought, well, if nobody has any idea of what’s going on in their country and their state, and we’re driving this bus called the United States off a cliff, maybe we should start a program where we can bring duty area experts on a variety of topics. to inform the people so that they can put the pieces of the puzzle together. So that’s really how it started. So basically we have a monthly event with a different speaker each time, and people can come and they can get informed and just have more information. How can people get more information? They can email perspectives101.info at gmail.com. And there is no website or anything they would have to email me. Okay. Perspectives. Perspectives101.info at gmail.com.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay. Very good. Now, Yvonne Paez, you are American, but you lived out of the United States for 15 years in Central America.
SPEAKER 09 :
Actually, Mexico and South America.
SPEAKER 11 :
And South, okay. And- One of the unique things about America and the American idea is created this big, broad middle class where everyday people could work hard and create wealth for themselves. And I am seeing through taxation and so many things that it seems like the middle class in America is under assault and it is disappearing. So talk to me about that.
SPEAKER 09 :
You are correct. And I just want to bring it to the attention of all the listeners that this large, very large middle class that the U.S. had has, because like you said, it is disappearing. And we’ll get to that, is unique. And it’s not found all over the globe. It’s very unique to the United States, and it has played a lot into the success of the United States. So I’d like to back up a little, and let’s start out with how that happened, how the U.S. managed to create that kind of a large middle class. And I don’t even really like talking about classes like middle class and whatever, but for this purpose, it is important. Um, but, uh, we’re all Americans. Um, I, I always hear people talk about the middle class or the rich. They never ever mentioned the poor. So, so are they just left out? So I, I’d rather we, we referred to ourselves as Americans, you know, uh, Americans of, of different, you know, we’re all going to be in different levels based on our different levels of industry or abilities or whatever. So that’s a separate conversation, but, but. For this purpose, I want to back up to our founding because how did we have that when other countries didn’t really seem to achieve that? And the U.S. was founded on the concept of virtuous citizenship. And that’s what allowed this to rise. And that was the key to the American exceptionalism. And for that, there’s four tenets. One of them is self-assertion, basically saying what needs to be said and do what needs to be done in its proper timing. The other one is self-control. Obviously, if we had self-control and we didn’t steal things we wish we had but then didn’t belong to us and everything that pertains to self-control, we wouldn’t even need police. And the other piece is civic knowledge. And that’s kind of the piece that Perspectives 101 tries to address is the knowledge and having people being informed. But what we’re going to talk about today is more the fourth one, that is self-reliance. And self-reliance, it depends a lot on our motivation, our responsibility, and our industry. And when I say industry, our level of industry, our will and desire to work. And how did we go from that? And that’s what launched the American dream. So the United States is the land of opportunity because of that, because of the desire for self-reliance. And through our work in our industry, we grow and we become something. And we then maybe have businesses and employ other people. It’s just a machine that rises, you know, what is it, a high tide rises all boats kind of thing. So that is that. And so we… This isn’t even like a partisan thing, a Republican Democrat thing, because I mean, if you if you want to say that it’s well, that’s not a Democrat thing or something like that. Well, I remember a Democrat president. Well, I don’t remember him because he died before I was born. But my dad definitely kept his memory alive and pretty much had every book written on him because he loved JFK. And John F. Kennedy said, ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. So I don’t want to hear anybody ever say that that’s not something that the Democrats ever embraced or anything like that. So I don’t even like talking party stuff.
SPEAKER 11 :
JFK even lowered taxes.
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, you know, he’d probably be right in the center or writer’s center at this point. But, you know, I don’t I don’t even want to talk to talk about partisan things. I’m just saying that that was an American value. So let’s just kind of look at each other as as Americans and forget the partisanship for right now. And and what I’m asking is rational thought from Americans. Are you a rational American person? Or are you maybe not so much? So if we if that was an American value and I was raised on that, oh, Lord, was I raised on that? Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. So why are people not only wanting, but at this point, sometimes even expecting the government to do for us what we can and should do for ourselves? I can’t really, you know, it’s hard to wrap my head around that, how we got from there to there. But that personal industry, our willingness and desire to work is the key to that huge U.S. middle class that wasn’t elsewhere. It’s that land of opportunity, that willingness to work and create something and create something bigger. And it is not typical in other countries. And since then, this mooch ideology is destroying personal industry and chipping away at the U.S. middle class. And it’s by design. This is being done on purpose. There is no doubt in my mind. And. And where did that start? I don’t know. Where did this welfare idea start? I mean, I think it was at Wilson or somewhere around there. I don’t know. We go into history that I wish Alan Thomas was here for because he would enlighten us to all about that. But at some point in our history, probably mid-century or after the Depression or something, when people needed a hand, you know, help.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, it started with Social Security. And that was under FDR. And it was sold as a safety net, just a safety net. But it really got ramped up in the 60s with LBJ.
SPEAKER 09 :
So there was, you know, the social security is one thing. But then that whole welfare thing where they pay you not to work. I remember when I lived in Mexico, some Americans came to visit. And we were, you know, I have one American parent, one South American parent. And some Americans came to visit and it was late and the children should be upstairs. But I was hanging out on the stairs listening to the adults talking. And I heard them talking about streaking and about welfare. And, you know, those weren’t words that were in my vocabulary. And I was rapidly forgetting all my Spanish, being completely immersed in Latin America. But I did kind of climb down and say, what is streaking?
SPEAKER 11 :
So did you mean you were becoming limited in English?
SPEAKER 09 :
I’m sorry, English, yes, because I was fully immersed in Spanish down there. And so I said, well, what is streaking? And they’re like, oh, well, that’s when people run through the streets naked. And I’m like… And these Americans are some strange people. But then I said, and what is welfare? And they said, well, that’s when you get paid when you don’t work or for not to work or whatever, something like that. And I’m like, I was nine years old. And I remember saying to the adults in the room, doesn’t the U.S. understand that if you pay somebody not to work, they’ll never work again?
SPEAKER 01 :
And you said that at the age of nine?
SPEAKER 09 :
I said that at the age of nine, out of the mouths of babes. I mean, to me, it was perfectly clear that we work because we have the need to work. I mean, we work because we want to, but we work because generally, if you don’t work, you don’t eat kind of thing.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, and that is biblical. Let’s go to break. We’re talking with Yvonne Paez regarding charity, forced charity. Can’t believe, yeah, I can’t believe that she would come up with that at the age of nine years old. But these important discussions happen because of our sponsors.

She is a frequent guest and guest host at the Kim Monson Show, as well as a co-founder of Perspectives 101. And we’re talking about charity, forced charity, mooch ideology, which I hadn’t really thought about that. And at a young age, you had an understanding of this, Yvonne Paez. Yes.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, yeah. In the previous segment, I mentioned that at nine, when somebody tried to explain the concept of welfare that was happening in the United States, because it certainly wasn’t happening in Mexico, I couldn’t understand why the government would pay somebody not to work. And I said to the people present, well, doesn’t the government understand that if you pay somebody not to work, they’ll never work again? And I just remember that. And that brings us back to the conversation we’re having about how it was one of the virtues of citizenship, which is self-reliance, that launched this American exceptionalism through personal industry. So Americans were expected to work. They were expected to produce for themselves and maybe for their country. And this personal industry is what is so key to the huge middle class. And again, I repeat that this is not typical of other countries. And this welfare ideology that is unbridled, it’s like a runaway horse, has basically created what you just mentioned, what I mentioned before, this mooch ideology that we shouldn’t have to work and that the government should provide everything. Hmm, well, what does that sound like? So why would people work hard if one can live off the government? You know, it just destroys personal industry. But who is the government? Who are they living off of? They’re living off of… Oh, precisely. The government has nothing that they don’t take away from the people. So… The people who make the money, they get taxed.
SPEAKER 01 :
They’re working. They’re working.
SPEAKER 09 :
They’re industrious. They get taxed. And that’s the money that the government takes from those who work in the form of taxes. And in Colorado, also in the way of fees, which is only a synonym of somebody taking your money. So how they’re getting away with going around Tabor, calling something fees when it’s clearly a tax. So call it… taxes call it fees call it a twiddlywinkle i don’t care you’re in my wallet and after my money and you take it you know the government takes it and then they just be a force via force right because um if you don’t pay your taxes they’re coming after anything you own your house your your anything so it’s a it’s a pay me or else anytime there is an or else there is force so so that’s why i say they take it you know it’s not like oh we’re It’s our obligation to pay taxes. Well, you know, and they keep going up and up and then they call something else a fee because that’s taxes isn’t enough. Now we’ve got to collect fees. So anyway, it’s highway robbery. But so they take your money and then with that money, they distribute it as they see fit to whom they see fit. And it’s not probably sometimes even an equal or fair distribution. So then some people get the feeling of why work if one can live off the government. Also, there’s earning limits that disincentivize work. So if you make too much… then you can’t get the money, the free money that the government gives some people. So, you know, they’re like, well, I want a piece of that too. So now I won’t work harder to make a certain amount. I need to stay under. I mean, I know people who don’t want to make over a certain amount because they want to get money from the government as well.
SPEAKER 11 :
But they may also, being industrious, may on the side have a cash business. Right. Maybe. Maybe. That can happen.
SPEAKER 09 :
There’s plenty of cash businesses in this country. We’ll leave that one for another day.
SPEAKER 11 :
Because people are industrious. Right. But they realize if they get dings, so let’s say the number’s $30,000 and $30,000 or less. I think it’s actually higher than that, but $30,000 and you receive… From your neighbors, money that’s been taken from them, you receive this, this, this, this. But if you make $30,001, all that goes away. It’s called a cliff. That’s what it’s called.
SPEAKER 09 :
So people probably, some of them may stay deliberately under that threshold. And if they do anything else, either not do any more because then, you know, that’s the lazy threshold. They get that and no more. Or if they do something else, maybe they’re doing something on the table. I don’t know. You know, so but it creates these other things. And so it makes people less virtuous. It does. It does. So if you’re going to do this to me, then I’m going to do this to you kind of thing. So it’s it. But then so this taxation policy also it specifically targets the hard workers taking their hard earned dollars and giving that money back. To others who, here’s the phrase that I heard that literally stopped me in my tracks when I heard it many years ago. And it said, and giving it to others who can’t, don’t, or won’t work. I’m like, what? Won’t work? And that came out of the lips of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. So that would be AOC by common terms. And I’m like, what do you mean this won’t work? I mean, I can understand people who can’t. Back to the being charitable. I mean, we have programs for people that were born with serious disabilities that will never be able to have a life where they can work and be self-reliant. There are places for that charity for people who truly need it. But don’t come to me with a hangnail and say you need free money. You know, that doesn’t work. And so this whole don’t, maybe you were laid off. Maybe you need a hand up or something to hold you across while you’re getting your feet back under you kind of thing. Okay, but who won’t work? Who just decide, I’m not gonna work. I’m going to be a mooch, and I’m going to live off of other people. I mean, how does that work? And how is that beneficial to our country in any way? And what does that actually do to somebody’s self-esteem? It robs them of their dignity. It robs a person of their human dignity of self-reliance, which honestly, then… when they say idle hands are the devil’s workshop. There you go. So then we’ve got people getting in trouble and doing all sorts of other stuff because people will always be doing something. So if you’re not doing something productive, you’re going to be doing something that probably isn’t good. And having worked in certain sectors, I saw plenty of that too. So if people were gainfully employed and had aspirations and goals and things, then you usually stay out of trouble.
SPEAKER 11 :
But that is what is under assault in this whole thing. ideology, right? This battle of ideas that we’re involved in.
SPEAKER 09 :
And it is. And see, when I explain this to people and all these different concepts that come from Perspectives 101, they say, but why? Why would they do this? And who would do this? So I’m going to say that we’re going to get to the ugly part and people go, oh, people always go back to that. Well, this is what it is about. So whether you want to go back there or not, if we’re going to be honest, this is what it is about. Government cannot rule over the people if the people are self-reliant. So the self-reliant American, that American of yesteryear that contributed with human ingenuity and their hard work, to this exceptional United States that gave birth to the largest middle class there ever was, meaning a lot of people were doing well because they had the American opportunity and they could work, right? So this self-reliant American must be destabilized. And destabilized is a polite way for me to say destroyed. forcing them to need the government and to be subservient to their master. I’m sorry, but we know from our founders that they knew that government was a necessary evil and that government by nature was going to be greedy and want more and more control. They tried to put controls in that and somehow we’re moving away from our constitution, which has the controls for that. and we’re allowing this beast to grow and turn into this ugly monster, which is destroying people’s human dignity, their want and ability to work, because if we are self-reliant, then we don’t need the government, and the government needs us to need them. And here we go. For communism to triumph, people must be treated as pets and become pets, because… The government and you’re going to say, oh, it’s communism. Here we go with communism conversation and stuff. Well, when why don’t you go park yourself in some Latin American country and there’s probably other, you know, Europeans, you don’t have to go quite that far and and see what life is down there based on the corruption, on the theft. And as they move towards, quote unquote, socialism, which is what people are courting in the United States. And I always say socialism slash communism. And people are like, oh, well, socialism and communism, those are very different things. And they try to go into telling me what one is and one is the other. I’m like, ha ha, just a minute. You know what we call, you know what we, the difference is, what in Latin America we call the difference between socialism and communism? What? Five years. So one is the cousin of the other and it leads directly to the other. As a matter of fact, the end game is communism and socialism and that whole social whatever is the carrot that gets you moving in the right direction. And governments and all sorts of things that have power. Power is all consuming and it wants more power. So it takes a real, real strong person not to get caught up in that. And we’ll come to that. But but. For the government to get power, it moves more and more towards communism, whether it wants to or not. It’s just the way the beast grows. And for that, the people must be dependent on the government because then they hop to the tune of the government.
SPEAKER 11 :
And that’s why we’ve got to stop these government grants and these programs and move back to self-reliance. We’re talking with Yvonne Paez. She is the co-founder of Perspectives 101. And these discussions happen because of our sponsors. And if you’ve been injured, talk to John Bozen and Bozen Law.

And welcome back to the Kim Monson Show. Be sure and check out our website. This is Easter week. Happy Easter to all of you. We’re pre-recording the shows this week. And we’re talking about, we’ve talked about nonprofits. Used to be called charities. But a couple of nonprofits that I dearly love that don’t take government money is the U.S. MC Memorial Foundation. And they are taking care of the Marine Memorial out at 6th and Colfax, raising the money for the remodel. And you can support them by going to usmcmemorialfoundation.org. And they’re going to have a great golf tournament in May. So get your foursome together for that and get signed up. Again, that’s usmcmemorialfoundation.org. And then also the Center for American Values, which is located in Pueblo on the beautiful Riverwalk. And they focus on a couple of things, great educational programs that for kids K through 12 and supporting educators in these foundational principles of honor, integrity, and patriotism, and also the Portraits of Valor honoring over 160 of our Medal of Honor recipients. Yvonne Paez, who is our guest today, you’ve been down there. It’s quite the place, isn’t it? It
SPEAKER 09 :
It is. It is. It’s absolutely impressive. You walk in there and you see those portraits of valor and it just takes your breath. And I think it would create a significant emotional experience for any of our young people to go down there and see what these people have done for our country.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, and we need to keep these stories alive. So support the center. It’s AmericanValueCenter.org. And Yvonne Paez, a frequent guest on the show, frequent guest host, co-founder of Perspectives 101. What’s that information if people want more information?
SPEAKER 09 :
Just email Perspectives101.info at gmail.com.
SPEAKER 11 :
And Yvonne, this is our last segment. We’re talking about charity, forced charity, Mooch ideology. You lived outside of America for over 15 years. So you have an interesting perspective. So what else should we know about this?
SPEAKER 09 :
So let’s bring it home. So let’s go to another story. So I visited St. Martin in the Caribbean or Caribbean, however you want to pronounce that. And that place is half Dutch and half French. And I made an observation while I was visiting there because we drove all the way around the island, both the French and the Dutch part. And I can’t really tell you which side it was more prevalent in or if it was just one side and not the other. So I can’t really say which one. But it’s been a while, so I can’t remember. But one of the things I identified was as we drove through, everybody was sitting out on their front porches, just out on the front porch.
SPEAKER 01 :
During the day.
SPEAKER 09 :
During the day, in the middle of what would be a working day. Just everybody just hanging out in the front porches. It was just hanging out. And I was like, wait, why is everybody hanging out? Why aren’t they working? And so I made that observation and over and over throughout the whole drive around the countryside. And then that evening we went to a restaurant and the person that was serving us was from, I don’t know, some European country. And I asked the person, I said, Sue, explain to me, we did this drive and everybody was out there just hanging out on a workday. So what do they work at or what is that? And he goes, oh, they don’t work. And I’m like, what do you mean they don’t work? And he says, oh, no, that’s why they have to import borders like me to do the work, like to be, you know, to be. So. Um, so yeah, that was kind of what I observed and what I was told. I did not live there long term, but it looks, you know, it looked to me like that was kind of what really was going on. So, so it goes back to. moochers need to import workers does that sound like anything that we uh that we understand or have seen here so just the other day i heard someone say how do we provide housing for everyone and i mean listen to the words people okay so how do we provide What obligation do we have to provide people with things that they should be able to provide for themselves? We addressed that in a previous segment. Remember the, that’s not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. And who is this? We, we need to provide. So, so, What we need to do is help people provide for themselves, because otherwise, as you said, we are going to lose a huge chunks of our, and like I said, I don’t like talking classes, but of our middle class, which is very unique to the United States, because the more we provide for people who could and should provide for themselves, the more they stop doing things for themselves. So we need to watch our words, because when we say those things, we’re using the words of the socialist communists, whose idea is to destabilize the workforce so that people are dependent on government. People actually have a social obligation to provide for themselves and not be dependent on others. And we’ve been sold a bill of goods. In Latin America, we call it cocoa wash. Your cocoa is your head, your coconut. So here, I guess we would say it’s brainwashing. And it brainwashes us with the concept that government must do this because we are charitable people. And yes, you know, I would say indeed, we are charitable people. And that is why charity belongs in the people’s wheelhouse, not the government’s wheelhouse. We should choose what charities we, the people, support. And we must do it directly. not via the government. Because running it through the government, right, it causes that corruption. That’s how that all happened in Minnesota and everywhere it’s happening, because you run the money through the government or the government takes it by force, and then they run it through those NGOs or those… And then what comes out the other side, if it’s the product that they were ever going to get in the beginning, is probably a part of it because the money starts to disappear as it goes through that channel.
SPEAKER 11 :
But see, if in fact people were giving to a charity and they’re thinking that charity is helping fill in the blank and they find out that they’re not, then people are not going to give money to that. But government working through these NGOs, non-governmental organizations that call themselves a non-profit, they don’t have to have results, right? They just want the money.
SPEAKER 09 :
The bottom line is charity belongs in the people’s wheelhouse and we need to do it directly. We don’t just write checks off into the government and all these things we need, we need to do it directly and see where the money goes. Um, um, Just because that’s the only way you’re going to know that you’re getting your money’s worth out of your charity, your charitable efforts, right? So how do we change this? Well, we put the government back in its lane, which is, I think, what you started with today. And by electing representatives of the people who understand the concept of virtuous citizenship and self-reliance. People with the value system and ethics to resist the government uniparty mafia. Because, I’m sorry, once you get at the top, it’s everybody. many, we’ve seen them from this state too.
SPEAKER 01 :
I say many, I don’t say everybody.
SPEAKER 09 :
I say many go in as regular people and then they become wolves. They become part of that pack. And so we need people with the strong enough values to do that. And all these things when we need to have the courage to make the change, whether it’s to elect people that are worthy to represent us because they’re not going to be corrupted when they go up to Washington or maybe even down here to our Um, Statehouse. Statehouse down here in Colorado. And all things when we need to make these, you know, when we have to show the courage to make a change. I go back to that psychology of Plato’s allegory of the cave, which describes prisoners that were chained in a cave who mistake shadows on a wall for reality. And that kind of represents humanity’s ignorance. Now, remember, ignorance doesn’t mean stupidity. OK, it means if you’re ignorant of something, it means you don’t know something. You’re lacking pieces of the puzzle. So so somebody who only sees shadows on a wall and that’s all they see, that’s their only reality. How can they know anything else? They’re ignorant to the rest of what might exist. So in the allegory illustrates that it illustrates this journey from illusion to enlightenment where a freed prisoner. escapes to see the true world and the sun, but struggles to convince the others. He runs back in the cave to tell them what he’s seen, and he struggles to convince them who fear this truth and resist leaving their familiar shadows. Now, does that sound familiar? So they resist leaving their comfort zone, or in this case, their delusion. And I know that in the United States, a lot of propaganda that’s going on, this psyops that’s going on, because I understand what one of those looks like, has put people in a mental way where they believe things that aren’t necessarily true. But they are more comfortable in that delusion because… That’s where they are now. Somebody moved them there and they’re comfortable there. And they don’t want to accept that there might be an alternate truth. Or the real truth. The real truth, right? So the real truth, the alternate to what they know, which is the real truth. And change is uncomfortable, especially if somebody is… has managed to steer you into that little corner where they want you and put you there in a little comfort zone and thrown you kibbles and bits, right? Treating you like pets so that you’re happy sitting in that corner, listening to whatever stuff they’re telling you. So we have to be careful. And that’s why being informed and where you get your information is so important. And at Perspectives 101, we bring it straight from the horse’s mouth, right? And now we’re with this advent of AI and everything, stuff you hear, you’re not even going to know if it came from a real person or was manufactured. The only way you’re going to know if something is real is if you’re looking to an absolute flesh human being and speaking with them directly, because we’re not going to know anymore.
SPEAKER 11 :

SPEAKER 09 :
Thank you. It’s such a pleasure to be here.
SPEAKER 11 :
And our quote for the end of the show is very appropriate. It’s from Albert Einstein. And he said this. He said, those who have the privilege to know have the duty to act. And we here in Colorado are shedding light on what is happening throughout our country today. but we have a duty to act on that as well. So, my friends, 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.
