It’s the Kim Monson Show, analyzing the most important stories.
SPEAKER 15 : 0:12
The socialization of transportation, education, energy, housing, and water, what it means is that government controls it through rules and regulations.
SPEAKER 03 : 0:22
The latest in politics and world affairs.
SPEAKER 15 : 0:27
Under this guise of bipartisanship and nonpartisanship, it’s actually tapping down the truth.
SPEAKER 03 : 0:33
Today’s current opinions and ideas.
SPEAKER 15 : 0:36
On an equal field in the battle of ideas, mistruths and misconceptions is getting us into a world of hurt.
SPEAKER 03 : 0:44
Is it freedom or is it force? Let’s have a conversation.
SPEAKER 15 : 0:49
Indeed, let’s have a conversation. And welcome to the Kim Monson Show. Thank you so much for joining us. You eat your treasured, your 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, Amanda, and all the people here at Crawford Broadcasting. It is Wednesday, Producer Joe.
SPEAKER 18 : 1:13
It is definitely Wednesday.
SPEAKER 15 : 1:16
And if it’s Wednesday, that means it’s Wings Day at Hooters Restaurants. You buy 20 wings, you get an additional 10 for free. And that is for to-go or to dine-in. They have locations in Loveland, Westminster, and in Aurora. And, of course, great specials Monday through Friday for lunch and for happy hour as well. So be sure and check that out. As you know, we search for truth and clarity by looking at these issues through the lens of freedom versus force, force versus freedom. If something’s a good idea, you should not have to force people to do it. And it’s not compassionate and it’s not altruistic to take other people’s stuff, whether or not it’s their rights, their property, freedom, livelihood, opportunity, childhood, or lives via force. Force can be a weapon. but it can be policy and unpredictable in excess of taxation, fees, fear, coercion, government-induced inflation, legislation, the agenda of the World Economic Forum and the globalist elites and their tools. You see them at the United Nations, this Colorado State Legislature, this governor, but at county, local, school district, and special district levels. As on the show, we focus on the issues. We’ll talk about the people pushing those issues. We work to stay out of the personality issues. Stuff that can happen in politics and in eighth grade with eighth grade girls. Our word of the day, let’s get over here. It is savant. And savant is spelled S-A-V-A-N-T. It could be a learned person, a scholar. Number two, it could be a man of learning, one versed in literature or science, a person eminent for acquirements. Number three, a person of learning, one who is versed in literature or science. And I would say last night, Joe, I had the opportunity to, I would see, hear a savant. And that is Bill Federer was in town. And you hear him in between the two shows with the American Minute. He’s a regular, typically during our special shows. But he was in town. He spoke regarding Islam, Muslims, Christianity, Islam. And it was really impressive. And so I would say he’s a savant on this complete subject. And we’ve had him on the show, Joe, a lot, but I still learned even more last night.
SPEAKER 18 : 3:35
Every time we have him on the show, I learn something new, and it could be about a topic that I’m pretty familiar with, and I still learn something new.
SPEAKER 15 : 3:42
Yeah, and Islam, and when Frank Gaffney was on the show, let’s see, we had him on, was it Monday? Sharia is hiding behind being a religion, right? But in fact, it is a political system, and ultimately it can become a military system. And that is what Islam, that’s what Muhammad, he began as a religious leader, then he became a political leader, and then military. And so it was really, really interesting. And I wanted to say, so on the text line, if you send me a text, it doesn’t come in on who, I don’t get the identification who it is. And so if you want me to know who it is, just put your name on there. But yesterday I was talking about Benjamin Franklin and this quote, and one of our listeners said, I like to get my quotes right, thank you. And this quote is from Benjamin Franklin. He said, he who would trade liberty for, for some temporary security deserves neither liberty nor security. And so those that are trading their freedom for government rights, ultimately what the government giveth, the government can take it away. And so instead of trading your security for a little bit, or your liberty for a little bit of security, let’s lower taxes across the board. Let’s lower fees. Let’s lower regulations. Let’s lower all the stuff that happens in our lives, all the rules, regulations, and let’s let people have their liberty to go after their hopes and dreams. And that’s why we do the show is to get our brain around these issues. And it comes to you because I have great sponsors. And the Kim Monson Show is blessed to work with amazing sponsors who all strive for excellence as they serve their clients and their customers. And Radiance Power is here for all of your electrical needs. And we have the owner, Carl Jones, on the line with us. Carl, welcome.
SPEAKER 08 : 5:55
Hey, how’s it going this morning?
SPEAKER 15 : 5:56
Well, it is going well. And the question on the table, Carl, is what sets Radiance Power apart from your competitors?
SPEAKER 08 : 6:08
I would say one of the biggest factors that differentiates us would be our local and small footprints. Since we’re a newer company and we’re not that large with the amount of employees we have on the road, we can offer lower prices to the clients just from having a lower overhead for the company itself, which is nice because that allows us to pay our employees more of a sustainable and living wage than what is traditional in the area.
SPEAKER 15 : 6:48
And talk to me about the quality work that you do. I had talked with another sponsor, Ben Williams, with Ben’s Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling. He said the two of you had worked together on a project and that he was just very impressed with the cleanup, the way that you left the property after your work was done.
SPEAKER 08 : 7:09
Yeah, with residential, we do try to take extra special care, as we know, usually when we leave the property. There is no return visit the project has done, and we want the homeowners to have a sense of the new components being there, but the house just being the way it was. Any kind of additional cleanup is usually something that is discussed with the homeowner before leaving, because we do do our diligence to leave it better than when we found it, and we want to have a good image for return clients as well.
SPEAKER 15 : 7:45
This seems to me like this is a no-brainer, but apparently in the industry, it is something that, for example, Radiance Power consciously does, is to clean things up. You would just think that everybody does that, but apparently that is not the case.
SPEAKER 08 : 8:06
No, it’s not. And I will have some customers along that vein as well, where they go… You know, we’re more than happy to clean up and sweep or vacuum as we do charge by the hour. And the time we do spend cleaning up is inside of that normally hour charge that we have for our service. So cleanup is usually only five to ten minutes, so it’s not a major aspect of any project. But some homeowners are either wanting to do it themselves or just save that little bit of money. Okay. It’s a standard practice that we have, but it is definitely not industry-wide.
SPEAKER 15 : 8:45
Okay. Well, good cleanup, reasonable prices, quality work. How can people reach Radiance Power?
SPEAKER 08 : 8:55
They can call our main line, and we can discuss their electrical needs and get them on the schedule for a project or a quote, or they can go to our website and fill out the information in the middle form.
SPEAKER 15 : 9:06

April 26th, 1777. Colonel, the British are raiding Danbury and burning the town. I’ll go tell them. Sixteen-year-old Sybil Ludington mounted her horse and rode 40 miles through night and pouring rain. That’s twice the distance of Paul Revere to sound the alarm.

SPEAKER 15 : 12:10
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 dot com. And the show comes to you because of our great sponsors. Laramie Energy is a great sponsor of both the Kim Monson Show and of the New Community and Newsroom. And 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, and empowers us to change our own personal climate. And I so appreciate Laramie Energy because of this battle of ideas that we are engaged in right now. And Joe and I were talking on the way in about the importance of the freedom of mobility. to be able to go where you want to, when you want to. And it actually opens up opportunities, different employment opportunities, different places where you live. But the World Economic Forum is bent on getting everyday people out of their cars. So for example, if I had to take, and they call it sustainable, this is, I just love this, sustainable transportation. And that would mean if I would need to get to the studio early in the morning and have to take a train or a bus and wait on a platform or a bus stop for that particular piece of transportation. First of all, at that time of day, it’s not safe to be doing that. And in addition, it takes an enormous amount of time. But when we look at what’s happening in California, Colorado is trying to out California, California. And this is from CBS News. It says Denver’s shift to incentive program rewards you for skipping car trips. And it goes on to say the city of Denver is encouraging residents to leave their cars behind and opt for more sustainable transportation through a new incentive program that offers rewards for changing commuting habits. The initiative, called Shift 2, challenges people who live and work in Denver to replace at least two solo driving trips each week with alternative modes of transportation, such as walking, biking, carpooling, or using public transit. City officials say participants who log those trips online will be entered into monthly drawings for gift cards totaling about $1,000 each month. The prizes feature local restaurants and businesses. Since the program is a collaboration between the city’s Department of Transportation and Infrastructure, the Office of Climate Action, Sustainability and Resiliency, and the Denver Regional Council of Governments. participate, residents must first identify two regular trips, such as commuting to work or running errands, and substitute those with non-driving options. Participants then sign up through the regional commuter platform and track their trips in an online dashboard to qualify for rewards. Officials say the program is designed not only to provide incentives, but also to encourage long-term behavior changes that can reduce traffic congestion, lower transportation costs, and improve air quality. It says, with gas prices a challenge for many people right now, this is a great time to consider alternative modes of travel, said Amy Ford, executive director of the Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure. Getting out of your car a couple of times a week can positively affect physical, mental, and environmental health. City leaders also point to added benefits, including increased physical activity and reduced vehicle emissions. The Shift 2 program runs through the end of the year. More information and registration details are available through the regional commuter platform. Joe, what do you think about this? Do you think everyday people that’s trying to just keep it together, is this a good idea? And remember, government cannot give to someone what they have not first taken from someone else. And so that means that whoever’s getting these rewards, that has to be paid for. And how is that paid for? It’s taken from somebody else. What do you think about this?
SPEAKER 18 : 16:29
I don’t like it. And, you know, one other thing, too, is… My jobs would be limited to what’s around me. And the only things around me are food places. So I’m just going to be a cook now. I don’t get to strive to be technically driven in an area or field that I have a passion or expertise in.
SPEAKER 15 : 16:51
That is an excellent point. But they have all the words. They have all the words. Sustainability and physical and mental and environmental health. And what we see here, this is what’s called the carrot. But then we continue to see the stick as well. And if people don’t do what these people want us to do, they make it more and more difficult through lots of variety of different ways. to have our own freedom of mobility because if people have their freedom of mobility they have freedom they can go and go after their hopes and dreams but if they have to be constrained to a bus or a bike or walking then they are constrained in what they can go after and i think that’s exactly what you’ve said
SPEAKER 18 : 17:38
Exactly. And they do it under the guise of security more than anything, too. Back to the Benjamin Franklin quote that security or freedom, you can’t have both.
SPEAKER 15 : 17:51
Right. And if you choose freedom. Right. And if you give up your freedom for security, ultimately you’ll have neither. And so next thing that we’re watching, California, we’re watching L.A. And first of all, it says that this is from the rap says incumbent Karen Bass advances to run off in L.A. mayoral race. I can’t believe anybody would vote for her. I just can’t believe it. But she is going to advance to the general election, and she likely will face reality star Spencer Pratt as he emerged as one of the two top contenders in the race for L.A. mayor, with over half of the vote counted. How is it that they only have half of the vote counted? If, in fact, they’re using tabulating machines, it seems like they should be able to have that calculated the day of the election, Joe.
SPEAKER 18 : 18:42
Whoa, whoa, they need time to change things in the system, though.
SPEAKER 15 : 18:45
You’re getting so cynical at your young age. It says, at the time of writing, Mayor Bass led with 37% of the vote, with Pratt falling closely behind with 30%, according to the Associated Press. Reality Star had a 10-point lead on his second-position opponent, Councilmember Nitya Raman, who received 20% of the vote to become L.A. Mayor Tuesday evening. If none of the candidates receive over 50% of the vote, the top two, regardless of party affiliation, face off in a November 3rd general election bass gave what sounded like a victory speech at her election night event on tuesday she told a crowd that her administration has laid a foundation for the future by moving homeless people indoors fast-tracking new affordable housing and strengthening the local economy pratt who did not allow media into his election night party at his go-to mexican restaurant don antonio’s convened with reporters on the sidewalk after he emerged as one of the leading candidates The former reality star boasted his successful mayoral bids, noting the communists already lost. Despite trailing her competitors by approximately 35,000 votes, Tuesday, Rahman seemed lively at her election party. Several attendees told The Wrap they are hopeful that the mail-in ballots that are still to be counted, now that’s the danger danger, which historically have skewed left, imagine that, will help the city council member advance to a runoff with Mayor Karen Bass in November. And in the 2022 mayoral primary, Rick Caruso led Bass from primarily vote center and early mail-in ballots on election night. It took a week. of additional vote counting for Bass to overtake Caruso for the top spot, and she went on to win by nine points in the November runoff. And it says the latest from the UC Berkeley Los Angeles Times predicted a tight race between Bass and Rahman, with former reality star Spencer Pratt closely behind. So we’ll see what happens next. Free, fair, honest, and transparent elections are foundational to us being able to reclaim our country. And if we are having communists that are being elected, we’ve got a real problem. Just take a look at New York City. I want to mention some of our sponsors. We’re going to be talking with John Case, who is one of Tina Peter’s attorneys here as our featured guest in our number one. So I wanted to mention some of our great sponsors who I so greatly appreciate. Jody Hensey was on the show on Monday, and she and her team at Mint Financial Strategies are working to help each of us have our own financial freedom. And I can highly recommend them. And they realize that our financial freedom is shaped by more than numbers. It’s shaped by planning for the realities of life. And so Jodi and her team can help us assess our current realities and plan for our future. They can help us navigate through our emotions regarding the economy, the career, and the market. And they can encourage us to evaluate family dynamics that influence our financial well-being. And these insights help make financial strategies to design a plan that fits our life So take that step towards financial freedom and call Mint Financial Strategies today. That number is 303-285-3080, 303-285-3080. And also, the Center for American Values will be having an event on Monday. June 23rd with Barney Barnum, who is a Medal of Honor recipient. It’s one of their On Values presentations. So they have these On Values presentations. They focus on their Medal of Honor recipients with their portraits of valor of over 160 people. portraits of our Medal of Honor recipients, and then also great educational programs that are focused on honor, integrity, and patriotism. And so to get more information and RSVP, go to AmericanValuesCenter.org. That is AmericanValuesCenter.org. And we are in such a time, my friends. And when I say on the show that we are made for this moment, we clearly are made for this moment. And we are celebrating our 250th anniversary this year for America. And we are working to determine if this idea of self-governance that we the people can actually govern ourselves is really on the line. Now, communism, socialism and communism, as my friend Yvonne says, what’s the difference between socialism and communism? She said it’s about five years. And communism is the haves and then the have-nots. And the haves would be basically ruling over all the rest of us. And the American dream is that everyday people have the rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. But that right does not mean that we use government to take from one to give to another. And that is what is happening with all of these government grants. Tax incentives. If somebody gets a tax incentive or a tax credit… That because they do a certain behavior or they are in a certain group, if they get special treatment, then we start to skew everything. And that is exactly what communism is. It’s about putting people into groups and then treating these groups differently. And that is why we have to continue to push to get rid of tax incentives, to get rid of tax credits, so that we are all on the same level playing field. And that is why we kick the tires on these important ideas on a regular basis. And we get to do this because of our sponsors. And one of those is Karen Levine.

And I am pleased to have on the line with me John Case, who is one of her attorneys. John, welcome to the show.
SPEAKER 09 : 28:03
Thank you, Kim. Great to be with you and your listeners.
SPEAKER 15 : 28:06
It’s great to have you as well. I am so grateful, John Case, that Tina Peters is out of this maximum security prison. And this happened on Monday. And so have you had a chance, first of all, to talk with her? I know everybody wants to talk with her right now.
SPEAKER 09 : 28:25
Yes. I haven’t spoken with Tina. I’ve talked to one of her security teams. So she’s resting and catching up on her diet and sleep.
SPEAKER 15 : 28:38
Well, and I saw she had done an interview with Steve Bannon. And just to be able to get out and have some food, I think she mentioned something about just a tomato or something like that. And she said it’s hard to lose your liberty. And it was easy to lose your liberty, but it was very hard as she did that. And so what can you tell us about what’s going on, John?
SPEAKER 09 : 29:09
Well, she’s going to be resting up for a period of weeks. I don’t know if it’s going to be two weeks or four weeks. Her activities on parole are not restricted except for out-of-state travel where she needs permission. But otherwise, she just needs to keep the parole board of where she’s living. And so she… Her ability to speak and to associate with people is unrestricted. So this is good. She can continue to be a spokesperson for election transparency and prison reform, which is what she intends to do.
SPEAKER 15 : 29:57
Well, so many of us were concerned that the parole board might try to put a muzzle on her because it seems like that’s what happened with the judge when he sentenced her to nine years in this maximum security prison.
SPEAKER 09 : 30:14
Yes. He said prison is for those folks where we send people who are a danger to all of us, whether it be by the pen or the sword or the word of the mouth. In other words, you’re going to prison because of what you’re saying about our voting system. And on Monday when she was released, Secretary of State Janet Griswold released a very similar statement. These are Janet Griswold’s words. Quote, the governor’s grant of clemency to Tina Peters is an affront to our democracy, the people of Colorado, and election officials across the country. It sends a dangerous message about accountability for those who would attack elections. Peter’s release will embolden the election denial movement. Since the grant of clemency, she has continued to spread election falsehoods and conspiracies. In other words, exactly the same as what the judge said when he sentenced her. You ought to be locked up because of what you’re saying. And Tina’s case has always been about two things. election transparency and free speech. And it’s still this, the people who put her away are trying to silence her and they would like to see her die in prison. She is the only clerk who was successfully prosecuted. There were three cases across the country. Tina was one. It was a clerk in Georgia who was charged in the Fulton County case along with president Trump. That case was dismissed by the court after the Fannie Willis scandal. And there was a clerk in Michigan named Stephanie Scott, who was charged with her lawyer, Stephanie Lambert. And that case was recently dismissed by the judge. So Tina is the only one that they were able to successfully prosecute for preserving records of the 2020 election.
SPEAKER 15 : 32:17
It seems to me, John Case, that the Secretary of State, instead of going after Tina Peters, that the Secretary of State should provide proof. that the things that Tina are talking about, that they’re not, to refute that. It seems like the Secretary of State should be able to provide to us the records to show that there has been no manipulation in our elections. But that does not seem to be the case, John Case.
SPEAKER 09 : 32:52
No, the Secretary of State has provided no proof that this voting system works. should be certified. She just says, take our word for it. We have experts who looked at it and they say it works. So you must accept whatever results come out of the computers because we’re, we’re telling you that’s what, that’s what, that, that the elections are fair and transparent. So you ought to believe that, but they will not allow any third party to look at the voting system to examine it or to audit an election. And it’s a mystery to me why Colorado citizens will accept the word of a government official instead of being able to see the truth. But that’s the way we live now. Instead of having hand counts under public observation, we have machines that decide the outcome of elections, and we’re all told that we should believe it because the government says that it’s so.
SPEAKER 15 : 33:53
Well, and my understanding, John Case, is so the ballots come in, and then I think images are taken of the ballots, and then the images of those ballots then go through a voting machine and then becomes a tabulating machine. Is that correct? Is that your understanding as well?
SPEAKER 09 : 34:14
Yes. Okay. So you’re not looking at a – when the system counts, it’s looking at a scanned image. And actually, it’s not looking at a scanned image. There is a scanned image, but then that’s reduced to digital data. And so then the digital data is tabulated.
SPEAKER 15 : 34:36
And it seems to me like we should have the opportunity to take that ballot and do an audit to the scanned image and count that and then make sure that that number matches to what goes to the Secretary of State and is reported. But that is not occurring, right?
SPEAKER 09 : 34:57
That is not occurring. In fact, that is illegal in Colorado to conduct a hand count. The Secretary of State got the legislature to outlaw hand counts unless the Secretary of State orders it, which she has never done. So we’re stuck with whatever the machines tell us. And that’s wrong. You know, as voters, elections belong to the people in Colorado. That’s part of our Constitution. And the current system that we have means the government runs the elections and we just are told to accept the results. And it’s not fair.
SPEAKER 15 : 35:40
What I have seen is that there have been basically pieces of legislation on top of pieces of legislation which continue, I would say, to take more and more control of our elections. So it’s the same like policy procedure. And if somebody goes against policy and procedure… then, and that’s kind of what I think happened with Tina, is then that is, you’re convicted of that, but the policy and the procedure may be law or rules, but they’re not based on the Constitution. And you’re an attorney. There’s a big rub on that, John Case.
SPEAKER 09 : 36:24
Yes. I think that our elections will never be trusted until we go back to hand counting the ballots in the precincts after ballots are cast by voters who present identification before they’re allowed to vote. And when we had that system, which worked for over 200 years, people trusted our elections. It was impossible to rig an election in a centralized way the way it happened in 2020. So now when you have… centralized vote counting such as we have in Colorado, you’ll have one voting center tabulating up to 650,000 ballots such as we have in Denver and the other large population centers such as El Paso County. So when you have large centralized vote counting, then you have the possibility of widespread fraud because you only have to affect one voting center in order to swing an election one way or the other. Elections are decided by three to five percentage points, typically. So if you just rig part of the election in a large voting center, you can swing the entire state.
SPEAKER 15 : 37:53
Well, and that is why the Secretary of State should do everything possible to assure us that everything is authentic, that everything is traceable, everything is auditable. John, I just had to renew my… business license with the Secretary of State. And it’s actually gone up 150%, at least from the last time. So I think it was $10. It’s now $25. Now, granted that that doesn’t maybe seem like that much money, but that’s a huge increase. But, John, the other thing that I found so interesting is I had to provide the information for my driver’s license in order to get my new business license. I find that’s just so interesting. The Secretary of State would require that as an entrepreneur, I have to provide my driver’s license. But if I want to vote, I don’t have to. I thought that was just kind of interesting, John.
SPEAKER 09 : 39:01
Yes, you have to show proof of identification to get on an airplane. We have a constitutional right to travel, but we have to show ID to get on an airplane. Well, we have a constitutional right to vote, but if you ask for voter ID, then they call you a racist or an election denier because you want proof of identity of the voter. So it doesn’t make sense. Democrats want no ID voting so that they can cheat. And that’s why we have mail-in ballots. Now in Colorado, everybody gets a mail-in ballot, and the unvoted ballots are not kept track of carefully. So anyone can scoop up a pile of unused ballots and vote them the way they want and get those votes counted.
SPEAKER 15 : 39:52
Well, and there are those that say, OK, let’s show me the proof on this. And I think that the proof on this is forthcoming. But the however is, is when we’re talking with people is I think we need to say, do we really even want the possibility? that there could be this manipulation of our elections. I’ve got to think the big, broad middle of Coloradans, and that would not be the radical activist Democrats. The Democrats of today are not the Democrats of JFK and our grandpa and grandma. These are radical activists. It seems to me like the big, broad middle of Coloradans would say, yes, I want to be assured that our elections are free, fair, honest, and transparent. And so I think there’s something really exciting that is in the works right now, John Case.
SPEAKER 09 : 40:47
Well, I agree with you, Kim. We’re hoping that the Department of Justice pulls out the evidence, which they now have, of how the 2020 election was rigged. There’s a brand new book out by Seth Keschel called The American War on Election Corruption. And Seth Keschel was… an Army intelligence officer who worked in Afghanistan. And he has an intellectual gift. He’s able to see recurring, simple recurring patterns in complicated data sets. So he used that to pinpoint Taliban locations and weaponry and predict their tactics. in Afghanistan, which saved a lot of us army lives. And then he applied this skill to elections starting as sort of a hobby. And he successfully predicted Trump’s election in 2016. And he got the electoral vote exactly right. State by state in 2024, he missed 2020 because he predicted in 2020 that Trump would win. But he didn’t count on the mail-in ballot fraud that occurred in the swing states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada. And because of that, his 2020 prediction was wrong. But when he went back and actually examined what had happened, he discovered that the 2020 election was, in fact, rigged in favor of Joe Biden, and that if it hadn’t been for the rigging, Trump would have won. Your audience may be interested in reading this new book by Seth Keschel. I find it very persuasive. And he’s going to speak at the Freedom Fest in Castle Rock on June the 26th. So people might want to attend that and hear what he has to say if you don’t read the book.
SPEAKER 15 : 43:00
Okay. John, we’re going to continue the discussion. We’re talking with John Case. He is one of Tina Peter’s attorneys. And praise the Lord that she was released this last Monday. And John said that she’s resting as she should and taking care of herself. And that is really important. She is truly… Truly, truly an American hero. And watching the interview that she had with Steve Bannon, she seemed strong to me. Even after all that was going on, it just was pretty remarkable to me. So we’re going to continue the discussion. This happens because of our sponsors. And for Everything Mortgages, talk to Lauren Levy.

And welcome back to The Kim Monson Show. Check out our website. And check out the website. That is kimmonson.com. And check out the website for the USMC Memorial Foundation. Support them. Paula Sarles and her team taking care of the memorial and raising the money for the remodel. Just great work. It’s important to remember and honor those that have given their lives or been willing to give their lives for our freedom. We’re talking with John Case. He is one of the attorneys for Tina Peters. And John, as you know, back in December… Well, gosh, what was it? It seemed like it was some action regarding the county clerks association of which Matt Crane is the executive director. He’s a former Arapahoe County clerk and recorder, a Republican clerk. where it seemed like there was a letter that they had sent on behalf of the county clerks to keep Tina Peters in prison for nine years. And it was at that time I said, we need to do something. And so many people are doing things. So I want to give credit to so many people. But our listeners and our followers and others, we signed a petition, which I delivered down to the Governor’s office on December 22nd, 4,200 people signed that, requesting, putting politics aside, requesting that Governor Polis show mercy, compassion, and release her. Well, these months later, it has happened. Why do you think he did it? Because he’s getting censored by his party. So why do you think he did it?
SPEAKER 09 : 47:55
Well, I think that your petition had an impact on the governor. The petition that you and your listeners took in there on December 22nd, I think it had an impact on the governor. And when the governor commuted Tina’s sentence, he did it for the right reasons. He did the right thing. He said, look, Tina Peters’ views may be unpopular with a lot of people, but she’s still allowed to believe what she believes. And, uh, I disagree with her personally, but it’s her belief. And in the United States of America, we have a right to our own beliefs and we have a right to speak those beliefs. And she was put in prison because of what she said and believed. And that is wrong. And he pointed out to Colorado citizens that it’s their right to free speech that is threatened. when somebody like Tina Peters goes to prison for her speech and her beliefs. So he stuck up for all of us. And that was a very unpopular decision with many people, but it was the right thing to do. And I agree with Governor Polis when he said that, you know, history is going to show that he did the right thing because he did.
SPEAKER 15 : 49:15
Well, and there are so many things that I disagree with him on, but I want to say thank you to him for doing this. I wanted that to be on record, that we really appreciate that. Because freedom of speech is foundational. to a free people and that is why it is in the first amendment and going back to tina gosh she’s she’s been fearless to think about what she has undergone she’s been in prison what over 600 days and she was in jail before that right john
SPEAKER 09 : 49:51
No, the 600 days includes the six months that she did in county jail. Oh, does it?
SPEAKER 15 : 49:55
Okay. That’s still a long, long time. But she remained strong on that. Now, she did say that she had some regrets. I think that Paula said that he wanted to see some remorse for what had happened. So speak to that a little bit, John Case.
SPEAKER 09 : 50:17
Well, Tina does acknowledge she made a mistake in the way that she went about this. If she ever had a chance to do it over again, which she won’t have, but if she did, she would do it differently. But she would not compromise the truth. She would just accomplish the same thing. By the way, people aren’t aware of this, but when Tina had a consultant preserve the… The digital records of the 2020 election that were on the Mesa County system hard drive, that was legal. The state has always accused her of doing something illegal when she made those copies. But it wasn’t illegal. It was legal. And they didn’t charge her with making copies. That’s why they charged her, but it wasn’t one of the charges. So that was legal. What they convicted her of, was misrepresenting the identity of the consultant who came in to observe the, uh, secretary of state software modification. And Tina had a right to have anybody in the room that she wanted. Uh, as long as that person was supervised by herself or one of her staff. So she brought in a consultant named Conan Hayes, who was qualified. He was a computer consultant. And before she engaged Conan Hayes, she asked the County IT Department if they would supervise the software modification that was going to be performed by the Secretary of State. And the County IT Department said no, they would not observe that process. So she was left with the choice of having nobody observe what the Secretary of State did to the Mesa County records. or having a professional observant and misrepresenting that person’s identity. Because the secretary of state said in an email that only the clerk and two members of her staff would be allowed in the room during the software modification. And that if, uh, they, if Tina tried to bring in anyone else that they would not perform the software modification, which was required to upgrade the machines. Well, in truth, the software upgrade erased, it deleted and overwrote all of the records of the 2020 election, which she was required to preserve by federal law. And she needed a qualified observer in the room to prove that that happened. And that’s why she brought in the consultant. And to this day, the Secretary of State will not acknowledge that that she deleted and overwrote all of the records of the 2020 election from 62 counties in Colorado. So if it hadn’t been for Tina, those records would be gone forever. She saved the digital records that were on the hard drive, but the Secretary of State then gave the, or had the equipment seized, which you also need to conduct an audit, and that’s still in the possession of the FBI in Denver. Wow. So if people want to find out more about this, you can go to TinaPeters.us. That’ll have the latest developments in her case, as well as the opportunity to help Tina in her efforts to promote election transparency. TinaPeters.us.

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.

SPEAKER 18 : 56:18
Happy Wednesday, Kim.
SPEAKER 15 : 56:20
And are you encouraged after hearing, talking with John Case, one of Tina Peter’s attorneys?
SPEAKER 18 : 56:26
I am. I am so encouraged. It’s definitely a guiding light and a bright light at that.
SPEAKER 15 : 56:34
And thank you to Governor Polis for doing the right thing and commuting her sentence and getting her out of prison. And she was thrown in prison because of what she might say. And that is antithetical to the complete American idea. My dad always said, you know, people may say something that I disagree with. However, I served for four years in the Air Force so that people had the right to say that. And when we are seeing the speech being censored, for example, with Tina Peters. But the other thing that we see with speech being censored is when we censor it ourselves. And, Joe, I’m not sure if you saw this. I heard two different people, I think it was Susan Kochevar that first texted me on this, that something that happened in the U.K. recently, and a young guy was stabbed with… a knife, which apparently it was a religious knife. Now, again, I have not done all the fact-checking on this, but it was, I think somebody said the guy was a Sikh. So I don’t think that’s Muslim. I think that’s something different. But anyway, this young guy is stabbed, and I think also there is the video on it as well, which is very disturbing, which I am not going to watch, but he’s stabbed. the police come and they end up handcuffing him. He said, I can’t breathe. I have been stabbed. And the police officer says, mate, I don’t think so. And they handcuff him. And my understanding is he bleeds out and he dies at 18 years old. And then the family of the stabber hides the knife, and apparently the police officer didn’t believe the guy that had been stabbed. He said, because I didn’t want to be racist. And so that’s another way of… of censoring speech is this whole thing about if what you say can be dubbed racist or whatever. And so we’ve got a real problem on all of this. So speech is so important. Our word of the day. is a savant. And let me get to that. And I may have to do that in the next segment with Trent Luce because I’ve got so many different things open here, but it’s basically somebody that’s very learned who you know really is an expert in things and so i would say that uh you know what i’ll do this as a segue to our next guest uh lauren levy is a savant regarding everything mortgages and savant is spelled s-a-v-a-n-t lauren levy welcome to the show all right i guess he’s going to be here in just a minute right did i go a little early Okay, maybe, here we go. There we go, Joe. Sorry about that. Okay, Lorne Levy, I just set you up as you are a savant regarding everything mortgages.
SPEAKER 20 : 59:58
Well, thank you. I appreciate that.
SPEAKER 15 : 60:01
So let’s talk a little bit about mortgages. People are getting squeezed. And you know, over here on the show, we are working and shedding light on all these taxes and rules and regulations and fees and all these things that’s making life more expensive for people. So we’re trying to make life more affordable. However, still people are being squeezed, but there are some things they can do to try to address that. Yes, there are.
SPEAKER 20 : 60:26
And it depends on the situation. You know, there are things like the one thing we have in Colorado that’s really been holding up is our home equity program. We’ve still been seeing people while home sales may be a little slower, they’re still happening and there’s still activity and the market is holding up and values are holding up. And so we know people can get things like home equity lines of credit if possible. Those have variable rates and those can be a little bit dangerous if rates move around. But one thing that we’re seeing is people are carrying quite a bit of credit card debt, which happens when you have a situation like this. And you know, if you’re, if people are out there paying 20 something, 25, 26% on credit cards, even though they may have a lower rate on their first mortgage, depending on the amount of debt in this situation, it might make sense to try to consolidate everything into one loan on your home and spread that out a little bit and get some breathing room and help people survive. And you know, sometimes even though you’re giving up a lower rate on your first mortgage, If you go to a higher rate, but consolidate all the higher rate debt, it makes it way more of a manageable payment and a way less monthly payment. And so we’ve been talking to quite a few people about that type of situation. And we’ll always just take a look at it and never tell someone to do a loan that doesn’t make sense. I can promise that. And so it’s something to look at for people that’s really been helping them out.
SPEAKER 15 : 61:51
Well, and to get into the situation, people, I think, look at it and they say, oh, my gosh, credit card debt. And the implication might be that out there spending money on going out to dinner or big screen TVs or whatever. But that’s not necessarily the case. I think some Americans are using their credit cards just because life has gotten expensive. Yes.
SPEAKER 20 : 62:17
Absolutely. And oftentimes it’s unexpected items. It’s not, oh, you know, the Super Bowl is coming up or Christmas and I want to go crazy. It’s something happened around the home. Something happened to a vehicle. I needed new tires. Things like that that could happen to a lot of people. You know, something, you know, you need your transportation to get to work and you can’t do it because something happened. So you have to put it on a credit card. And that can add up over time. People are carrying a lot of debt. We have the highest credit card debt in this country we’ve ever had. And so we’re not talking about typically like splurge items. We’re talking about everyday just shortfalls that people have to cover just to maintain their life. And that’s where things can get out of hand. You can get to where you’re making monthly payments on credit cards that are barely paying the interest, not even covering that. And if that’s the case, that can be a runaway cycle, especially with today’s interest rates on credit cards. So that’s where home equity can really come in and help cover some of that stuff and make it so that the overall payments are significantly lower per month and help people breathe.
SPEAKER 15 : 63:20
So people could get some breathing room there. And again, I want people to continue to Create equity in their homes. Of course, we’ve talked about that. We had Mitch Vexler on on Monday to talk about these exorbitant property taxes. We’ve got a lot to do over here on the policy side, which, you know, that’s where we’re working big time over here on the show, shedding light on this and Colorado Union of Taxpayers. We’re working on that. But for everyday individuals, there may be some breathing room. How can people at least have a consultation with you, Lorne Levy, to kick the tires on this idea?
SPEAKER 20 : 63:57
The best way is always just call at 303-880-8881. We can have a conversation. We can look at numbers. And if things make sense, then we can decide to move forward. And they may not always make sense. But if they do, we will definitely point them in the right direction.
SPEAKER 15 : 64:13
You know, and Lauren Levy, it is so important in our lives to work with people that can be trusted, that strive for excellence. And so with this seriousness, this serious issue regarding trying to get out from underneath this credit card debt, That’s why working with you is so important because you really do speak to the truth on this and talk straight with people. And that is worth so much. And that is why I’m so honored to have you as a sponsor of both the Kim Monson Show and America’s Veterans Stories.
SPEAKER 20 : 64:47
Well, thank you. I appreciate that. And, you know, when you work primarily on word of mouth and referrals, you need to take care of people. And, you know, so that’s always going to be the case for us.
SPEAKER 15 : 64:57
Well, and that is the case. Speaking of America’s veteran stories, this Sunday is the day after the anniversary of D-Day, which is in World War II, where D-Day was where the Allies needed to get a toehold on the continent of Europe so that they could free Europe, Western Europe, from war. the Nazis. And we had interviewed this gentleman several different times. He’s written a couple of books. Maybe his third book is out regarding the heroes of D-Day. His name is Dennis Bush. And Joe and I made the executive decision to rebroadcast his first interview, which is absolutely fascinating regarding the real heroes of D-Day. And so that’s going to be on America’s Veterans Stories this Sunday. And I thank you for making that possible.
SPEAKER 20 : 65:49
Well, it’s my pleasure. Thank you for everything.

SPEAKER 15 : 70:12
Right.
SPEAKER 07 : 70:12
You know, keeping it in the family. but not to diminish the Golden Eagle. It’s all of the above. And I look forward to this. This is going to be really good.

This is going to be really good. So join me. I know a number of you have reached out. A bunch of my buddies are going to be up there tomorrow, noon at the Wyoming State Capitol. So join us.

I do. Yes, I do. I have friends, and you will meet some of them.
SPEAKER 07 : 70:45
Well, now I have to try to find some buddies before I get there. Dave Coates is my buddy at Cheyenne. I’ve got to get a hold of Dave and see if he can bring me a jack or bring home a jack.
SPEAKER 15 : 70:57
A jack for what?
SPEAKER 07 : 71:00
To breed my mares.
SPEAKER 15 : 71:02
Oh, okay.
SPEAKER 07 : 71:04
You can’t make a mule if you don’t have a jack.
SPEAKER 15 : 71:07
I guess not.
SPEAKER 07 : 71:10
So do you have your trailer with you if you’re going to take… I will not be calling Dave before I leave or I’ll end up taking a trailer and then that won’t be good.
SPEAKER 15 : 71:21
Well, let’s get over to some of these things. And I know some of this seems very tin hat-ish, but you had brought to my attention the alpha gal syndrome, which I thought that maybe that was the… And complimenting the alpha male, which meant a really strong woman, that’s not the case. It’s something that can be caught, you get it from a tick. And some people had sent this to me, and now this is from the IB Times in the U.K., So this is a little off the mainstream media, but it says woman sparks alarm over sinister tick surge with mystery boxes and helicopter claims rocking the East Coast. So there are those that are saying that there have been boxes of ticks that have been found in fields and then the ticks disappear. are carrying this alpha-gal syndrome, which makes it that people can’t eat protein like meat or I guess… Anything mammalian.
SPEAKER 07 : 72:27
Mammalian. Any mammalian product. Right. It does not affect chickens or chicken eggs.
SPEAKER 15 : 72:33
Okay. So what do you hear with your ear to the ground about these boxes? Is this being made up or is this really true?
SPEAKER 07 : 72:41
Well, now I’m just kind of hurt, to be honest, because last week I brought it up and you just like tolerated me. You didn’t want to dig in. You didn’t ask questions. But somebody brings it up in the UK and all of a sudden, Trent, what do you think about this? Well, I don’t understand, Kim.
SPEAKER 15 : 72:58
Well, you planted that seed and I did more research. So now I want to talk more about it.
SPEAKER 07 : 73:03
9000 percent increase of reported tick bites to the CDC since January 1. 9,000%. And the alpha-gal syndrome is a result of the alpha-gal sugar that the Lone Star tick possesses. If you’re bitten by a Lone Star tick, then you potentially are not going to be able to consume meat from anything that nursed as a baby, a mammalian product. It would be beef or pork or lamb. And I have a friend who had this in southern Indiana. He was bitten by a lone star tick. Typically, they report about four hours that there’s a lag. Four hours later, you will be susceptible if you consume. And what happens is the tick goes in and messes with your sugars. It modifies the sugars in your body so that when you consume the mammalian product, Those sugars react. You break out in hives. And my buddy in Indiana was in the hospital 30 days, was on the ventilator twice, and it wasn’t just like, hey, I got hives. I got to get over this. It’s a bee sting on steroids if you’re allergic. And so I don’t personally know anyone who told me that I’ve seen these boxes of ticks because everybody around the world is now… talking about these boxes of ticks that are just being a random, I don’t know anybody that has found those, but what I do know for a fact is that people who live in big tick country are reporting a massive increase in the amount of ticks. Like I got an uncle in Illinois that had seven ticks on him when he’s mushroom hunting. I got two Amish boys in Northeast Missouri that I know a friend of called me, a friend of them called me a friend of mine and a friend of them called and said, these two boys had 60 ticks on them. And then, of course, you have the two researchers at West Michigan University in October published a paper in the National Institutes of Health. You can read it talking about how a great plan to improve the environment and getting people off of meat consumption would be to increase the prevalence of alpha-gal in the Lone Star tick. They wrote a research paper about doing that, and it’s happening. So there’s definitely an increase of ticks. It’s not just east of the Mississippi. I personally know of two people in Nebraska that now have experienced alpha-gal in the last 30 days. What else do you want to know about that?
SPEAKER 15 : 75:50
Is there any cure for it?
SPEAKER 07 : 75:53
So, yeah, I’m glad you brought that up. Because now that I’ve been talking about it for coming on three full weeks, you get everybody coming out of the woodwork to call me. In fact, I had a young lady who works for Change, the petitions, and they contacted me wanting to know if they could start some petition to bring awareness to alpha-gal. But I’ve had, I don’t know, probably half a dozen, more than a handful of people that say, I had alpha-gal for three years, and finally I went to an acupuncturist, and we fixed it. I don’t know that you cure it, but you fix it. Other people have told me they’ve had alpha-gal for five years, and finally they worked their way out of it. But when you talk to people that are experiencing the symptoms, it is ugly. And you eliminate meat consumption other than chicken, turkey, anything that did not consume milk as an infant. You eliminate them from your diet, period.
SPEAKER 15 : 76:55
I have a friend, and we’ve seen a lot of millennial, particularly women, that are vegans. And so they are not eating meat. And my friend’s daughter, because she’d been a vegan for many years, got pretty sick because she was deficient in iron. And so this movement to try to force us to not eat this dense protein source ultimately affects the health, I think, of the human population.
SPEAKER 07 : 77:34
No doubt about it. In fact, probably the most predominant vegetarian, I don’t think that Sinclair Upton Sinclair was a vegan, but he was certainly a vegetarian and he wrote the book, the jungle in 1908, I believe it was 1908 casting a negative light on how meatpacking plants in Chicago were working. And while what he wrote led to some reform and employer responsibility and care of employees. He really wrote the book to chase people away from meat consumption. And within five years, his own medical doctor told him that you are dying if you do not start consuming meat. As you said, nutrient-dense food substances, you’re going to die. And so he did. And he lived for a period longer because he started eating meat again. I have interviewed a lot of people through the past 10 years that were vegan at one point in time. And they’re typically female, just like you said. Young females who are constantly barrage with it, they have to maintain the figure of their favorite model or wherever they are. And they’re all anorexic in my mind. Uh, but they’re nutritionally, they really are messed up. And iron is the number one thing that affects young girls. And that is why beef is so vitally important because there is no food substance. that provides particularly the heme iron, the quick availability and the iron that really works at building the body like beef. And when you eliminate those food substances from your diet, you’re going to struggle with proper nutrition, period.
SPEAKER 15 : 79:14
Gosh, again, I feel like, I know this sounds tin-haddish, but I’m thinking about our young girls, and again, many of our millennial girls. These are young girls, these women now, I guess they’re now women, have been… told they don’t need a man, that they don’t need to eat meat, and our young girls are also being told that they could be a guy. There’s just been an assault upon our young women. And it just really makes me sad as I really connect all these dots on this, Trent Luce.
SPEAKER 07 : 79:52
Well, this has entered not only the young woman. It’s entered the woman. Because I now have a large number of friends in my circle, particularly in the cattle world. You have friends? I do have friends. They don’t go to events that I’m at because they don’t want to be seen with me, but they talk to me on the phone. Okay. Ozempic. Ozempic is killing people. And women are taking this, whatever it is, if it’s a drug, if it’s a supplement, whatever it is, it is distorting them in so many ways. They go from wonderful color and glow to just unhealthy looking. And I don’t understand why they look in the mirror and brag about losing weight. It’s not about losing weight. It’s about living healthy. And weight is part of that. But we’ve romanticized anorexia. And I don’t understand that at all, Kim. It’s so dangerous.
SPEAKER 15 : 80:54
Well, and I’ve had some friends that have lost weight with that. And they do look great. But I also have some friends that have had some really tragic stories regarding that as well. So we’re going to continue the discussion with Trent Luce. The next thing I’ve got to ask him about is… I saw this headline, Google’s releasing 32 million mosquitoes in two U.S. states. I’m thinking, what could go wrong with that? We’ll find out when we talk with Trent Luce when we come back. These important discussions happen because of our sponsors, and one of those is Radiance Power.

And Trent Luce, this came in on the text line, and it said that there is a check out the YouTube Ken D. Berry MD to get real truth and facts and perspective versus scare tactics, I guess, on the Alpha Gal. So I appreciate that. And then Wendy Volk just texted probably both you and I. She has a letter to the editor regarding Wyoming deserves the full picture. She is doing amazing work, and we’re going to be up there tomorrow at noon at the Wyoming State Capitol. You will be speaking. I will be speaking regarding the Wyoming Wind Rally, and I’m really looking forward to this, Trent Luce.
SPEAKER 07 : 85:45
Is it noon or 11?
SPEAKER 15 : 85:47
I have the flyer says noon.
SPEAKER 07 : 85:49
Okay. See you at noon.
SPEAKER 15 : 85:51
See you at noon. Actually, I think I’m going to see you at noon.
SPEAKER 07 : 85:53
Yeah, and Wendy is the true champion.
SPEAKER 15 : 85:56
She is. She is. And it was a year ago in June that her family received a certified letter that Repsol, which is a Spanish company, would be erecting some very tall, wind turbines next to their property. And so she just started to do research. She just started to pull one string, then another string and another string. And she’s connected the dots now.
SPEAKER 07 : 86:26
Isn’t it amazing how we start as kids and we start coloring and drawing by connecting the dots. All of us started that way, right? And it turns out one of the first things we start in the learning process comes valuable throughout the course of life. If we always connect the dots and find the money source, you’re going to know exactly what their plan is.
SPEAKER 15 : 86:48
Well, and the money source on this, and I have so many things open, so I’ll just have to do this somewhat from memory. We are seeing this huge land grab. We have utilities that have been granted imminent domain power to take people’s land for industrial wind, industrial solar, industrial transmission projects. And then when we start to pull the strings and connect the dots, we see that, for example, Xcel Energy, BlackRock has Vanguard. They have big stock ownerships in the company. Effigy, when we talked to Virginia Macca in Kansas, there you see BlackRock. Repsol, which is the company, the Spanish company up in Wyoming regarding this particular company, project that’s when he was looking at black rock has an indirect big ownership there black rock as you have mentioned larry fink who is the head of black rock is also the head of the world economic forum then he then the world economic forum says by 2030 we will own nothing well they say we’ll be happy we’re not going to be happy about it and people aren’t happy about it they’re starting to step step forward and push back on it but But that’s why I think the globalist elites, Larry Fink and company, are trying to double down on this big grab at our property and at our liberty. And that’s why what Wendy is doing, Karen Gorday and her team with Lakewood Citizens Alliance, rooted in Littleton, Mike Rawlick, people are stepping forward. And this is very exciting, Trent Luce.
SPEAKER 07 : 88:30
Yeah, that is the good part. And You just played right into what I was doing yesterday. Since 2014, there’s been a 345,000-volt transmission line planned from Sutherland, Nebraska, up to O’Neill, through, I think, seven counties and 260 miles. The Public Service Commission… There was a lot of things happening in the middle, Kim. I’m just going to cut to the end. The Public Service Commission yesterday… actually did hold a public hearing, so to speak, but the public hearing didn’t include any of the proposals. The proposals are like 600 pages long of this permit application from Nebraska Public Power District, and that’s the unique part about Nebraska is 100% of Nebraska is served by public power. We own Nebraska Public Power. I am a co-op member of Nebraska Public Power. Ironically, at the same time, that we’re having, we’re attending this public service commission meeting at the state capitol, they are celebrating the passage of LB 1261, which opens the door for private entities to supply electricity into the state. When we’re having this hearing about whether or not to permit this 260-mile line, they said that they can do this now without a public hearing, so to speak, and that means they don’t have, MPPD doesn’t have to present the information because they have 97% compliance of the landowners. We know that’s a bold place to lie. We can account for 40 miles in this particular path that nobody has signed an easement for and has said, you’ll take it in that domain or you won’t have it. But yet they present that they have 97%. And we’ve fought this And CO2 pipelines have fought this in every program that we’ve been a part of fighting, is that they come up with this fictitious number that overwhelmingly everybody’s doing it. You’re just the one that’s not. And what I wanted to get to was something that’s very troubling. First of all, I looked it up. The annual budget of Nebraska Public Service Commission is $115 million a year. That’s what is spent for this commission to operate. Before the vote was taken, one of the commissioners, Eric Candler to be exact, asked the question, if we deny this, what happens? And the director who was positioning this petition said, and it’s almost word for word quote, it will go to appeal and you will lose because the statute of the legislative body will overrule what you decide here today. So then you have to ask the question, why do we have a public service commission? Why are we spending $115 million of taxpayer money going through a dog and pony show that if, in fact, they don’t just rubber stamp these industry projects, they’ll be overwritten? So we have really opened a can of worms to look at how this pseudo… regulatory body, and every minute that I’m sitting there, I’m thinking about Elbert County and Iowa, Colorado, and how all this plays out, right? And so, and here’s the other thing that I have to share, and I’ve got to be honest, until 30 days ago, well, 60 days ago, when the fire started in the greater part of the Sandhills, I like so many people drive through the Sandhills and say, I love the Sandhills. If you’re driving down the road and you see them from your vehicle, you absolutely love them. They’re just Well, it turns out the Sandhills of Nebraska is the second largest natural grasslands left in the world. It does more carbon sequestration than any place other than the African Serengeti. It is a gem. And when we talk about pristine, it can be damaged in a heartbeat. And so I didn’t fully grasp that until I walked in the shoes with the folks who take care of the land. And these individuals, only one, there’s one that lives in the Sandhills, Kevin Stocker, he has somewhat of a grasp. The other four don’t really grasp how critical and pristine and vulnerable these Sandhills are. There are places where you’re digging a post hole three foot deep and you will hit water. And there’s no ecological sense behind putting… And to compensate for that, Kim… What they’re talking about doing, to put this up, is getting mats that interlock with one another and driving their 40,000-pound pieces of equipment on these mats so that they don’t destroy this habitat and this ecosystem. And that’s a real thing because in 1840, the last year of the Oregon Trail, that’s been a while, a couple years ago, 1840.
SPEAKER 15 : 93:40
Is that how you got to Nebraska?
SPEAKER 07 : 93:42
Yes, it is. And the wagon ruts that my mules and wagon made when we came are still here. I can take you to places in Nebraska and show you ruts that were made by the Oregon Trail in 1840.
SPEAKER 15 : 93:58
Can you imagine? Can you just imagine what they went through?
SPEAKER 07 : 94:03
Well, 42,000 people died, by the way, on the Oregon Trail. But they want to go through the sand hills. and put this monstrosity up. And here’s the biggest kicker of the day. For what? The population of Nebraska in rural areas has declined by 7%. We’ve had steady growth in Lincoln and Omaha. But if you look at the growth, there is no underserved part of that part of Nebraska. Actually, they’re putting it there for something that they want to build in the future, which obviously at this day and time would be an AI data center. But still, the whole message of this story is the regulatory body asked if we deny this, what happens? And they said it won’t matter. But they still part of a representative republic is that right.
SPEAKER 15 : 94:51
So. And that is what I am seeing is that these hearings and it’s an illusion. It’s an illusion of that we the people have a voice where we don’t really have a voice. So what was the vote on this then, even if that was the answer? Three, one, and one. Okay, so three deny or what?
SPEAKER 07 : 95:15
Three voted to approve it. One voted against it. One abstained.
SPEAKER 15 : 95:22
You know, speaking of abstain, when I was on city council, there was something that I really wanted to vote no on. And I said, I think I might abstain. And the city attorney said, Kim, you need to take a stand one way or another. And so I always did take the hard vote and vote no when I needed to. And so abstain, okay, I’m making a statement. I could be wrong. You can correct me. But I think abstain is gutless. What do you think?
SPEAKER 07 : 95:52
I agree 100%. I give them no slack. It is gutless. It was the last vote. He knew it wasn’t going to make a difference. He’s campaigning in a place that he thinks it’s going to be beneficial to abstain. And so he campaigned for what he thought was best for him instead of the project.
SPEAKER 15 : 96:12
Yeah, we got to have people with heart and with guts that we’re electing to office. We’re going to continue the discussion. I know I teased this thing about Google and these mosquitoes. So when we come back, we’re going to talk about that. But did want to mention Little Richie’s. They’re your local neighborhood spot where you get authentic New York style pizza and pasta. They’re locally owned. They’ve been serving Parker and Golden for over 20 years. Saturday is Calzone Day. You buy one Calzone, you get everything. The other half off, you can get, I could get four meals out of that special that day because they are big. In fact, I was out at the USMC Memorial for the Memorial Day event and stopped into the Golden Little Richies. And I saw my friend, Rami Johnson. She said, I’ve never had a calzone. And are they big? And I opened up the box. She said, oh, that’s enough for Walt and I. So again, you can get a great special on Saturday for calzones at Little Richie’s. in Parker, and in Golden. And we have these important discussions because we have great sponsors who strive for excellence, and one of those is John Bozen and Bozen Law.

SPEAKER 07 : 101:10
And it’s at noon. Take note. Noon, mountain time.
SPEAKER 15 : 101:14
Noon, mountain time, for sure. Now, getting over here to this headline I saw, it’s like, what could go wrong with this? And why is Google doing this? This is from BGR by Alan Bradley, posted yesterday. Google is releasing 32 million mosquitoes in two U.S. states. Here’s why. And this article then is trying to, it starts off, it says, on the surface, it sounds like truly an abominable idea. Yes, I agree. Or even a crime against humanity. Yes, I agree. Losing millions of blood-sucking insects across California and Florida. I agree. But then it goes on to say that this actually might be good. Because apparently these would be good mosquitoes. then I think they must want to try to breed with bad mosquitoes. And Alphabet is calling it the debug program. So what’s your thoughts on this, Trent Luce?
SPEAKER 07 : 102:11
I’m in the camp of I see no value in this whatsoever. And I’m going to tie this back to something you were previously talking about, and that is the attack on women. and the attack on fertility. And you can look at what’s going on with male fertility today as well as female. It’s at an all-time low. We had that we’ve spent millions, nearly a billion dollars to produce a sterile new world fruit fly because of the new world’s fruit worm that comes from the fruit fly. And we’re going to release, they have been, releasing these sterile male fruit flies, assuming that females will mate with these and not reproduce. It hasn’t worked. We still have cattle with New World screwworm threatening our border in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico.
SPEAKER 15 : 103:05
Okay, now, Trent, you know, I try not to be snarky, but I would say that these would be the Tim Walts of fruit flies or mosquitoes. Okay. Continue on. Is he sterile? I don’t know, but he’s wimpy. So that’s what I was thinking. He’s wimpy.
SPEAKER 07 : 103:27
He might as well be sterile. So anyway, this falls into this whole notion, and I see more of this type of activity where we’re going to release something sterile into the environment. This is not just about the mosquito. And what was the benefit of it? I mean, there is no benefit. We have forgotten You know what the number one killer of our troops in even World War II was?
SPEAKER 15 : 103:52
Malaria.
SPEAKER 07 : 103:53
Malaria. Malaria. What was the vector for getting malaria to the people?
SPEAKER 15 : 103:59
The mosquito. Hmm.
SPEAKER 07 : 104:02
What could go wrong here?
SPEAKER 15 : 104:03
Exactly.
SPEAKER 07 : 104:05
By the way, how did we fix the malaria problem, i.e. the mosquito problem?
SPEAKER 15 : 104:12
With chemicals.
SPEAKER 07 : 104:14
DDT.
SPEAKER 15 : 104:15
Yes.
SPEAKER 07 : 104:16
And they outlawed DDT. And we banned DDT. in 1971 because of a book written by an activist, Rachel Carson, Silent Spring, with lies. DDT did more to preserve humanity than any other chemical, excluding water, because water is a chemical.
SPEAKER 15 : 104:36
And… Okay, so how can this be? First of all, why is Google Alphabet in the business of breeding mosquitoes, right?
SPEAKER 07 : 104:50
100% right. I mean, why do two researchers at Western Michigan write a paper in the National Institutes of Health about how it’s going to be beneficial to the planet to get people to stop eating meat?
SPEAKER 15 : 105:09
So this is the new world order. This is the World Economic Forum. This is their goal. How could Google get permission to release all of these mosquitoes? And again, how did they breed? How did this happen? I can’t get my brain around it.
SPEAKER 07 : 105:29
So I don’t want permission to do anything. I want to put a deck on my house. I don’t need a permit or permission to do that. But you do bring up a great question in a state of the industry, so to speak, that we have to get permission to do everything. How can a company decide they’re going to go do this in California and Florida? Who granted them the authority to do that?
SPEAKER 15 : 105:55
Right. And I agree with you. regarding we should not ask for permission, but we also need to be virtuous citizens. And I don’t think there’s anything virtuous about releasing mosquitoes into, and why California and Florida, right? Ask that question.
SPEAKER 07 : 106:14
Florida, I understand, because it’s such a heavy mosquito-laden area. California is very arid. It’s not as mosquito-infested as Florida would be. And what are they trying to accomplish?
SPEAKER 15 : 106:26
Well, and to that point, my snarky thing about Tim Walz is the wimpiness is not attractive in the human population. So I don’t think wimpiness would be attractive in the mosquito or the whatever, the other thing you were talking about. I just don’t think wimpiness would be attractive in those arenas either.
SPEAKER 07 : 106:52
Well, I understood that. But what are the mosquitoes doing they’re trying to curtail?
SPEAKER 15 : 107:00
Fertility. That was your point.
SPEAKER 07 : 107:04
Right? That’s my point, yes. But what is the cause of the mosquitoes that we need to reduce the fertility? Why are we trying to limit mosquito population? I’m not a mosquito fan. But for every action, there’s an equal reaction. and we’re going to release more mosquitoes, even if they’re sterile, they don’t reproduce, they don’t do anything. What did we accomplish by putting 32 million more mosquitoes in the population?
SPEAKER 15 : 107:33
Nothing.
SPEAKER 07 : 107:36
Right. So what are we, so I’m back to what are we doing?
SPEAKER 15 : 107:39
Exactly. How do we know they’re sterile also? And how do we know that they’re not carrying something else? Right.
SPEAKER 07 : 107:44
How do we know they don’t all have West Nile? How do we know that they’re not like the lone star tick and, Oh, Oh, we didn’t realize that there was a mutation that involved in that virus, and suddenly they’re dangerous.
SPEAKER 15 : 107:57
You and I are getting so cynical, I tell you. We’re about out of time. Your final thought?
SPEAKER 07 : 108:03
I don’t know what the definition of cynical is, but our world is laced in reality. Become laced in reality and show up at the state capitol in Cheyenne tomorrow at 12 o’clock noon Mountain Time.
SPEAKER 15 : 108:15
because Trent Luce and Kim Monson will both be there, along with Wendy Volk and other speakers.
SPEAKER 07 : 108:19
Wendy Volk, that’s who you want to see.
SPEAKER 15 : 108:22
That is who you want to see, that’s for sure. Okay, Trent Luce, I will see you later today. Have a great day, and as always, thank you. Thanks, Kim. And our quote for the end of the show is Benjamin Franklin. He said, whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech. 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 10 : 109:08
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
