On this Wednesday broadcast of The Kim Monson Show, Kim explores the growing threat of woke ideology in American churches and the ongoing fight to protect First Amendment rights. Casper Stockham and Ron MacLachlan discuss their federal lawsuit against Denver officials following disrupted pro-police rallies, while Pastor Lucas Miles warns Christians about the false gospel of social justice that has infiltrated many congregations.

Lucas Miles, host of Epoch Times’ Church and State program named 2023 Program of the Year by the National Religious Broadcasters, traces the corruption of Christian theology from 18th-century German critical theology through the social gospel movement of the early 1900s. These movements elevated Jesus’s humanity over His divinity, transforming Him from Savior of the world into merely a social reformer.

Miles explains how Marxism provided the activist component that drove progressive ideas into church institutions. The viral nature of Marxism utilized churches as “carrier oils” for distributing their message, leading to the radicalization of various social movements. During COVID-19, government officials violated what theologians call “sphere sovereignty” by stepping into church authority to mandate closures, into family authority to dictate child-rearing, and into individual authority over personal medical decisions.

The pastor encourages listeners to evaluate their churches by examining how leadership responded to key events. Did pastors celebrate the overturning of Roe v. Wade? Churches can take a litmus test at AmericanPastorProject.org, where over 400 pastors have already signed a statement affirming historic Christianity and rejecting wokeism. Miles also recommends Summit Ministries in Manitou Springs, Colorado, for training young people to defend their faith.

“The Bible says to love what is good and to hate what is evil. As Christians, we are never called to be tolerant towards evil, tolerant towards evil men, tolerant towards evil ideas or evil pursuits. These are things that we should resist.”

Casper Stockham, an Air Force veteran who served 14 and a half years in communications and crypto tech, describes the July 2020 incident at Denver’s Civic Center. Despite having proper permits and following all legal requirements, their pro-police appreciation event was targeted by organized groups who sought not to protest, but to physically push attendees out of the park. The Denver Police Department, which had intelligence about the planned disruption, asked organizers to stand down rather than providing protection.

Stockham explains that authorities, including Mayor Hancock and Police Chief Payton, chose not to erect protective fencing despite knowing the threat. The lawsuit, filed in Federal District Court 10, seeks to hold city officials accountable for failing to protect lawful assembly rights during what became known as the “summer of love” when cities nationwide experienced violence and destruction.

“We need help, and we need it now. We’re not going to drop this. We’re going to hold those folks accountable, and we need people to help us hold them accountable.”

Casper Stockham, Air Force Veteran

Ron MacLachlan, founder of the Pro-Police Rally organization, reveals the extensive ten-month process required to obtain permits for events in Denver, and how city officials systematically attempted to prevent lawful assembly. When he arrived at police headquarters 72 hours before the event, officials showed him social media posts organizing the disruption, then asked him to cancel or relocate to the Pepsi Center.

MacLachlan describes how authorities refused to install protective fencing, claiming attackers would “just jump the fence.” The lawsuit now in federal court names the former mayor, police chief, city manager, and other officials. The organization continues its mission, with events planned in Douglas County, Pueblo, Casper Wyoming, and Grand Junction, having hosted 24 events since 2015. Citizens can support the legal effort at pprco.org.

“We could sure use a lot of help. We can’t do this by ourselves. This is time-consuming. It’s important. It’s about standing for our freedoms and standing for our country and standing for the men and women in law enforcement.”

Ron MacLachlan, Founder, Pro-Police Rally

On this Tuesday broadcast from June 27, 2023, Kim Monson explores two critical threats to American liberty: electromagnetic pulse vulnerabilities that could cripple the nation’s infrastructure, and property tax policies that undermine the fundamental right to own property. Glenn Rhoades of the EMP Task Force and entrepreneur Susan Kochevar provide expert analysis on these interconnected challenges to freedom.

Start listening at 60:00 – Hour 2

Susan Kochevar, entrepreneur and owner of the 88 Drive-In Theater, challenges listeners to reconsider what property ownership truly means in America. Kochevar argues that property taxes fundamentally undermine the concept of ownership, transforming citizens from property owners into perpetual renters from the government. She points to how rising property assessments translate into automatic tax increases without any corresponding vote by the people.

The discussion extends to zoning laws and the insidious influence of ICLEI, the International Consortium of Landscape and Ecological Engineering, which Kochevar identifies as a vehicle for pushing World Economic Forum agendas into local governments. These policies manifest as 15-minute cities, road diets, and restrictions on mobility. Kochevar highlights the challenge of citizen oversight, noting that South Suburban Parks and Recreation, with 151,000 residents and a $98 million budget, saw its top board candidate receive only 949 votes. This disconnect between taxing authority and democratic accountability represents a fundamental threat to self-governance.

“When you pay property taxes, you do not own your property. If you think you own it, stop paying your taxes, and you’ll find out you were just renting your property from the government.”

Glenn Rhoades, Director of National Operations for the EMP Task Force on National and Homeland Security, delivers a sobering assessment of America’s vulnerability to electromagnetic pulse attacks. Rhoades reveals that the Chinese spy balloon that floated across the United States in January 2023 represented a far greater threat than most Americans realize. According to balloon expert Greg Allison, a high-altitude balloon can carry payloads of up to four tons, enough capacity for a nuclear device capable of generating a devastating EMP.

Rhoades explains that at 30 kilometers altitude, a single EMP device could affect an area of 200 to 300 miles in radius. The Task Force submitted a comprehensive report to Congress through Senator Ron Johnson and Representative Mark Green, detailing these vulnerabilities. Perhaps most alarming, Rhoades notes that sensors capable of detecting radioactive materials on aircraft cannot function at balloon altitudes, meaning such threats could go undetected until detonation. He criticizes the EPRI report that downplayed EMP risks, noting the Department of Energy does not endorse its conclusions.

“We should have never, ever allowed that balloon to float over the United States.”

On Monday, June 26, 2023, Kim Monson tackled the Colorado Education Association’s controversial resolution condemning capitalism with three school board members who are taking bold action. Bryson Miller of Brush, Mick Bates of Woodland Park, and Ryan Graham of Monument Academy explain how rural Colorado values are pushing back against the woke agenda infiltrating public education.

Start listening at 34:00 – Hour 1

Bryson Miller, school board member in Brush, Colorado, learned about the CEA’s anti-capitalism resolution through a Fox News story featuring Woodland Park’s response. The resolution stated that the Colorado Education Association “believes that capitalism inherently exploits children, public schools, land, labor, and resources.” Miller reached out to CEA for the complete resolution text but received no response.

The Brush school board passed their own resolution in response, affirming support for capitalism and the Constitution. Miller emphasized that capitalism provides the economic foundation for Colorado public education and enables student participation in extracurricular activities. He stressed that a small percentage of “rotten eggs” have infiltrated organizations like CEA, the Colorado Association of School Boards, and the Colorado Department of Education, pushing an agenda that doesn’t represent most teachers or communities.

“Our board passed a resolution that simply stated that we are in support of capitalism and the Constitution of the United States, and that our board recognizes that capitalism provides an economic system allowing for private ownership for profit, which in return is the primary funding source for Colorado public education.”

Bryson Miller, Brush School Board Member

Start listening at 38:00 – Hour 1

Mick Bates, school board member from Woodland Park, was among the first to publicly reject the CEA resolution. When confronted, the local union representative attempted to distance themselves from the state organization, but CEA ultimately stood behind their anti-capitalism stance. Bates noted that the resolution exposes what teachers unions are truly about, and it does not reflect the small-town values of Teller County.

Both Miller and Bates made clear that most teachers do not share this radical ideology. The majority of Colorado’s 39,000 educators represented by CEA are dedicated professionals doing their jobs for the right reasons. The problem lies with a vocal minority that has captured leadership positions in educational organizations.

“Capitalism is what made this country as special as it is, and it’s attempting to be torn down by the very people that have been made successful by it.”

Mick Bates, Woodland Park School Board Member

Ryan Graham, board member at Monument Academy in El Paso County, authored a proclamation addressing student privacy and gender identity policies. The proclamation declares that Monument Academy supports natural law, moral truth, and the protection of student innocence, vulnerability, and privacy. Graham explained that House Bill 21-1108 codified gender expression and gender identity into Colorado’s anti-discrimination statutes, creating a complicated legal environment for schools.

The proclamation asserts that parents, not schools, have fundamental responsibility for their children’s well-being. It also states that laws mandating specific instruction on non-biological gender identity violate natural law and expose students to undue harm. Graham announced a town hall meeting for the following evening to discuss these issues with the Monument Academy community.

“This is not about waging war against these children that are expressed or identify as a gender that doesn’t correlate with their biological sex. This is not about inciting hatred. My heart actually breaks for these children due to the fact that they’re being saddled with this agenda at a very young age.”

Ryan Graham, Monument Academy School Board Member

On this Friday, June 23, 2023 broadcast, Kim Monson explores citizen-led efforts to restore constitutional principles. Lisa Bennett and her daughter Nicole share their groundbreaking Montana ballot initiative, while former State Senator Kevin Lundberg provides updates on the Colorado open primary lawsuit that could reshape how voters participate in party primaries.

Start listening at 74:24 – Hour 2

Kevin Lundberg, former State Senator and chairman of the Lawsuit and Legal Affairs Committee for the Colorado GOP, reports on fundraising efforts for a lawsuit challenging Colorado’s open primary system. The Supreme Court ruled in 2000 that political parties cannot be forced to accept non-party voters in their primaries without consent, yet Colorado’s system allows over one million unaffiliated voters to receive both Democratic and Republican primary ballots.

The lawsuit requires approximately $50,000, with about $10,000 already pledged or contributed. Funds can be sent to the Colorado GOP for the specific lawsuit purpose or to the Claremont Institute for Constitutional Jurisprudence, a 501c3 handling the legal work. Lundberg criticizes the 2013 House Bill 1303, which he dubbed the “Voter Fraud Act” for creating mechanisms ripe for electoral abuse.

The discussion expands to broader election integrity concerns: the cost of mailing duplicate ballots to unaffiliated voters, the impossibility of auditing election machines, and the recent State Executive Board reprimand of Republican legislators who signed a Democratic letter about Montana’s transgender lawmaker controversy. Lundberg emphasizes that restoring closed primaries represents a political investment in constitutional governance.

“We need to take this before the courts. The Supreme Court back in 2000 said you can’t force a political party to accept voters in their primaries without their permission, without the party saying yes.”

Kevin Lundberg, Former State Senator

Lisa Bennett and her daughter Nicole Bennett describe their ambitious constitutional amendment initiative in Montana. Nicole, just 12 years old, began researching checks and balances through Teen Pact, a Christian organization teaching students about state legislatures. Her discovery that the Supreme Court controls lawyer licensing without legislative oversight sparked a mission to restore constitutional balance.

The initiative targets Section 7, Article 2 of the Montana State Constitution, which in 1972 transferred attorney licensing power from the legislature to the Supreme Court. This shift, Lisa explains, created a system where the judicial branch now controls its own officers through mandatory Bar Association membership, eliminating the checks and balances the Founders intended. Montana’s 1972 Constitution remains the most progressive state constitution in America, and its Supreme Court is the most overturned court even within the liberal 9th Circuit.

Nicole faces significant hurdles: gathering approximately 61,000 to 80,000 signatures across 40 house districts in under a year, with each signature requiring county-specific validation. Despite opposition from trial lawyers and the Bar Association, the young activist remains determined, noting that Supreme Court justices have no constitutional requirements, including no mandate to be lawyers. James F. Burns, she points out, never graduated high school yet taught himself law and became a Supreme Court justice.

“It’s really important to get involved and actually do things, write letters, speak your voice, speak your opinion, and get yourself known out there.”

Nicole Bennett, Citizen Activist

On this Thursday broadcast from June 22, 2023, Kim Monson welcomed the new president of Liberty Toastmasters Denver, Jay Morrison, along with several fellow Toastmasters who shared their perspectives on the four foundations of citizenship: self-reliance, self-restraint, self-assertion, and civic knowledge. In Hour 2, Casper and Cheryl Stockham discussed their marriage coaching ministry, I Am Love Builders.

Start listening at 29:16 – Hour 1

Brad Beck, co-founder of Liberty Toastmasters, opened the discussion by connecting the four pillars of citizenship to the uniquely American idea that our nation began as an abstract concept rather than from historical accident. Beck referenced Dr. Tom Krannawitter’s book “Introduction to Citizenship for New Americans,” noting that natural-born Americans often lack the civic knowledge that immigrants must demonstrate. He emphasized that self-restraint, as George Washington practiced with his famous rules of civility, means recognizing the difference between right and wrong through conscience.

Terri Goon of Liberty Toastmasters North connected civic knowledge directly to budget literacy, warning that Proposition HH represents a scheme to trade temporary property tax relief for permanent elimination of TABOR refunds. She argued that citizens who understand government budgets can hold their representatives accountable rather than dismissing them all as “swamp creatures.”

“America is not a spectator sport. You have to get out and play as an American.”

Russ Farmer, Liberty Toastmasters North

Marshall Dawson offered a provocative analysis of the culture wars, suggesting that progressive provocations from drag queen story hours to DEI mandates are tactical moves designed to instigate conservatives into overreaction. He cautioned that forces seeking expanded government power benefit from destabilization, making self-restraint perhaps the most critical civic virtue today. Dawson urged listeners to respond to inflammatory tactics with reason rather than emotion, choosing deliberate actions that achieve intended goals.

Greg Morrissey emphasized that the four citizenship pillars should be taught in schools but noted that many parents are turning to homeschooling to ensure their children learn constitutional principles. He shared that his own daughter homeschools her sons because they learn better outside the public school system that focuses on the lowest common denominator.

“They don’t really care about DEI. They don’t care about drag queens. They don’t even care about transing the kids. These are tactics. The aim is to instigate you, to provoke a reaction from you.”

Casper Stockham, a veteran and longtime political activist, announced a pivot back to marriage coaching through I Am Love Builders, a ministry he and his wife have operated for 14 years. Their upcoming book “Divorce Proofing Your Marriage” takes a kingdom-based approach to helping couples communicate better and build lasting relationships. Stockham noted that divorce has become too easy at $250 for an uncontested filing, treating covenant relationships like temporary arrangements.

Cheryl Stockham explained that many marriages fail because couples never learned what marriage actually requires. She emphasized that men and women process information differently, and successful couples become strategists who approach problems from different angles while working as a unified team. Her message to a divided and hurting nation was simple: don’t lose hope, because God has a plan even when human beings fail to represent Him well.

“Don’t give up. Don’t lose hope on your fellow man. Don’t quit. Don’t allow yourself to be so angry that you become blinded. Shine the light on the good.”

Cheryl Stockham, I Am Love Builders

On June 21, 2023, the first day of summer, Kim Monson examines two critical threats to American liberty: election fraud through phantom voters and the World Economic Forum’s assault on American agriculture. Technology expert Jay Valentine reveals groundbreaking tools to expose ballot fraud, while rural advocate Trent Loos exposes the globalist agenda threatening farmers and ranchers.

Start listening at 75:00 – Hour 2

Trent Loos, a sixth-generation rancher and rural America advocate, exposes the World Economic Forum’s coordinated campaign to dismantle American agriculture. Loos explains that the WEF’s climate agenda directly threatens family farms and ranches through regulations designed to reduce meat consumption and consolidate food production under corporate control.

Loos details how policies promoted by globalist organizations are making it increasingly difficult for independent farmers to operate. From restrictions on nitrogen fertilizers to pressure campaigns against beef production, these initiatives threaten both food security and rural communities that have sustained American agriculture for generations.

The rural advocate emphasizes that understanding who controls the food supply is essential to understanding the broader liberty movement. When corporations and government agencies dictate what farmers can grow and how they can raise livestock, individual liberty suffers alongside agricultural independence.

“They want to control the food supply. When you control food, you control people. That’s what this is really about, and American farmers are standing in the way of their agenda.”

Trent Loos, Rural America Advocate

Jay Valentine, the technology expert who built the eBay fraud detection engine and the TSA no-fly list, reveals how his team has developed revolutionary tools to identify election fraud in real time. Valentine explains that his fractal technology can identify patterns in voter rolls that reveal phantom voters, fake addresses, and ballot harvesting operations that traditional election software cannot detect.

Valentine describes how his team built the undeliverable ballot database, which identifies where every mail ballot in America will go and whether it will find its legitimate recipient. His organization, Omega4America, has worked with grassroots groups in multiple states to expose these irregularities before elections occur, rather than attempting to prove fraud after the fact.

The technology pioneer emphasizes that the key to 2024 election integrity is exposing fraud in real time, creating what he calls a “reality TV show” that demonstrates fraud as it happens rather than filing lawsuits months later. Valentine argues that this approach transforms election integrity from a legal battle into a public spectacle that citizens can witness firsthand.

“What we’re building is the ability to show in real time what’s happening to your ballot. When people can see with their own eyes that ballots are going to fake addresses, going to UPS stores, going to empty lots, the game is over.”

Jay Valentine, Technology Expert and Founder, Omega4America

On this Tuesday broadcast, Kim Monson examines threats to American agriculture and election integrity. Dr. Jill Vecchio, a physician and Iowa farm girl, sounds the alarm about private equity’s stranglehold on the farming industry through the Great Reset agenda. Colorado GOP Chair Dave Williams outlines the party’s legal challenge to restore closed primaries and prevent spoiler candidates from undermining Republican elections.

Start listening at 31:49 – Hour 1

Dr. Jill Vecchio exposes Indigo AG, a Boston-based company backed by billions in venture capital that has inserted itself into every level of farming operations. From renting land to seed production, satellite surveillance to transportation logistics, this single company now controls vast portions of the agricultural supply chain. Vecchio, who still owns farmland in Iowa, explains how her brother first alerted her to this rapidly expanding threat.

The company’s connections raise serious concerns. In 2020, Indigo AG placed the CEO of Moderna on its board of directors. The company develops GMO products for crops and is exploring mRNA technology in plants. Vecchio warns that articles now promote the concept of eating vaccines through genetically modified food. The consolidation strategy mirrors what has happened in healthcare and banking: control and destroy independent operators.

Corporate farming operations drive up land prices beyond what family farmers can afford, then offer premium rates to rent that land. After depleting soil quality through aggressive farming without proper stewardship, they simply move on to the next victim. Vecchio witnessed this firsthand when farmers who had abandoned her family’s seed corn business came back years later with ruined land that corporate operators had trashed and abandoned.

“These big companies, these huge private venture capital people, have their sights set on the farming industry and our food supply, and they’re not going to stop until they get what they want.”

Dr. Jill Vecchio, Physician and Policy Expert

Dave Williams, the Colorado Republican Party Chair, provides updates on two major initiatives. First, the GOP has reached an agreement with Libertarians: if Republicans nominate pro-liberty, constitutionally-minded candidates, Libertarians will stand down rather than act as spoiler candidates. This addresses races like Congressional District 8 where Democrat Barbara Kirkmeyer won due to libertarian vote splitting.

Williams also details the party’s lawsuit challenging Colorado’s open primary system. Senator Kevin Lundberg chairs the legal effort, which argues that Republicans should choose Republican nominees and Democrats should choose Democrat nominees. The system was created by wealthy individuals like Kent Thiry who wanted to disrupt conservative victories by allowing Democrats to meddle in Republican primaries. Williams is working to raise $25,000 to launch the litigation through the Claremont Institute.

The chair addresses criticism from establishment consultants like Dick Wadhams, who Williams says has accepted money from Democrats to advance their agenda. Williams argues these failed consultants bear responsibility for the party’s decline by pushing candidates to abandon constitutional principles. The path forward requires building a broad coalition that includes moderate Democrats, blue-dog Democrats, unaffiliateds, libertarians, and conservatives who simply want less government interference in their lives.

“If we’re Republicans and we’re all about the Constitution and conservatism, then this is a great deal. And we’re going to avoid the spoiler candidates moving forward.”

Dave Williams, Colorado Republican Party Chair

On this Monday, June 19, 2023 broadcast, Kim Monson examines America’s return to energy dependence and the ongoing fight against human trafficking. Daniel Turner, founder of Power the Future, breaks down how the Biden administration surrendered American energy independence to OPEC, while trafficking survivor Andi Buerger describes her organization’s mission to protect victims and pursue predators.

Start listening at 31:55 – Hour 1

Daniel Turner sounds the alarm on America’s regression to 1970s-style energy dependence. Turner, founder of Power the Future, details how just a few years ago, OPEC meetings were irrelevant because American production was so vast that their production cuts had no impact. Now, the Biden administration has restored OPEC’s power over American consumers.

Turner explains that higher energy prices drive inflation across all sectors of the economy. The only way to lower the cost of food and goods is to make energy inexpensive, and that requires domestic production. He criticizes the administration’s games with inflation numbers, noting they try to exclude energy prices from calculations to make the numbers look better.

The discussion extends to the assault on gas-powered appliances, with Turner arguing that if electric stoves and vehicles were truly superior, consumers would choose them voluntarily. The push to ban gas-powered items is an attempt to dry up the fossil fuel market entirely. Turner reminds listeners that fossil fuels underpin modern prosperity, from air conditioning to smartphones.

“If they were so good, you wouldn’t have to force people into buying them because nothing is a better indication of consumer choice than free will and free markets.”

Daniel Turner, Founder of Power the Future

Andi Buerger shares her harrowing personal story of surviving child sex trafficking from six months to 17 years old. Buerger, founder of Voices Against Trafficking, describes how the organization brings together survivors, nonprofits, corporations, and individuals to turn back the tide against predators and in favor of victims.

Buerger emphasizes that healing is possible but requires commitment. She explains that trafficking survivors face deep intimate violations that do not heal in a single counseling session. Her own recovery took three years of weekly counseling plus residential treatment. Faith played a central role in her survival, with God intervening at age five when she first attempted suicide.

The conversation turns to how COVID lockdowns worsened conditions for trafficking victims, trapping them with predators for extended periods while support services shut down. Buerger also addresses concerns about the current transgender activist agenda, arguing it amounts to stealing children’s innocence by pushing life-altering decisions on minors who cannot vote or drive.

“I’m also a survivor of child sex trafficking from the ages of six months to 17 years old, way back before there ever was a term.”

Andi Buerger, Founder of Voices Against Trafficking

Kim and Producer Steve discuss the rise of social conservatism and pushback against corporate wokeness. They note that Disney’s latest film flopped at the box office, continuing the company’s streak of failures. The United Methodist Church is experiencing a massive exodus with over 5,000 congregations leaving amid disputes over sex and gender ideology. Kim urges listeners to engage on property tax issues, particularly opposing Colorado’s Proposition HH, while standing firm on social issues that protect children.
