On January 25, 2023, Kim examines grassroots political organizing in Douglas County with Andy Jones running for GOP Chair, caucus system mechanics with Ted Mische, and food security threats from Colorado’s cage-free egg law with sixth-generation farmer Trent Loos.

Start listening at 71:50 – Hour 2

Sixth-generation farmer Trent Loos discusses how government overreach threatens food security, focusing on Colorado’s cage-free chicken legislation. Loos traveled to California 14 times in 2008 warning that Proposition 2’s cage-free requirements would triple egg prices. When implemented in January 2015, newspapers asked why no one warned them despite clear advance notice. In Australia 2015, Loos documented eggs at $9 per dozen with carton notes claiming higher prices ensured chicken welfare—justification he rejects as disconnected from actual animal husbandry.

Colorado’s similar law took effect January 1, 2023, but enforcement is delayed until January 2024. Egg prices already increased 133% from avian flu and law anticipation, but full impact awaits enforcement. USDA exacerbated the crisis by euthanizing 38 million laying hens in 2022—destroying entire flocks when single birds tested positive despite zero transmission risk through eggs. Loos shares how a friend raised in poverty with four siblings relied on eggs as affordable protein. Her recent grocery photo showing two-carton purchase limits captioned “This is hunger” illustrates how regulation harms struggling families who cannot make daily store trips.

“Somebody sitting in a cubicle designed some animal welfare guideline that had nothing to do with what the chicken actually was needing or experiencing, or why we call chickens a flock, because they come together. They flock together in tight spaces. They’re not people, they’re chickens, they’re laying eggs.”

Ted Mische explains Colorado’s caucus process as critically important for grassroots influence but poorly understood by citizens. The caucus system, occurring every two years, provides an alternative to the petition process for reaching the primary ballot. Without it, only wealthy candidates who can afford signature gathering would qualify, and the Secretary of State would control Republican candidate access by validating or invalidating signatures. Misha notes from Proposition 115 experience that close to half of petition signatures were nullified, many legitimately.

Precincts contain 1,500 to 3,000 people with two Precinct Committee Persons elected at each caucus. PCPs vote for party officers and bylaw changes. Delegates elected at caucus are even more critical because they decide which candidates appear on primary ballots at local, judicial, state, and presidential levels—each delegate’s vote worth hundreds or thousands of regular votes. Bonus members, elected by precinct leaders, serve on both county executive and state central committees. Douglas County’s bonus member election is February 7th at 6 PM at the Event Center. Misha encourages face-to-face candidate interviews and church engagement, having brought 50 people from his church to caucus training.

“James 4:17 says, ‘Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.’ We see a lot of evil out there in the world today, and those of us who stand back and watch it happen, same thing happened in Nazi Germany… Take the first step.”

— Ted Mische, Grassroots Organizer

Start listening at 4:20 – Hour 1

Andy Jones, a Navy veteran who served 30 years including 12 as an aviator flying off aircraft carriers, announces his candidacy for Douglas County GOP Chair with a slate focused on growing the party while maintaining conservative principles. Jones served as First Vice Chair in 2020 when the county raised $45,000 and led the 2021 school board campaign that raised over $500,000 to flip a liberal board conservative in the most expensive school board race in U.S. history. His slate includes Mike Dixon (West Point graduate and retired Army colonel) as First Vice Chair, Leo Stegman (retired corporate accountant) as Treasurer, Monica Waston (20-year party veteran) as Secretary, and Keelan Thomas as Second Vice Chair for communications.

Jones emphasizes that Douglas County is the last conservative county on the Front Range, making it critical to counter left-leaning counties like Jefferson and Arapahoe. With unaffiliated voters outnumbering Republicans 138,000 to 100,000, Jones identifies four priorities: inclusive growth without compromising values, year-round messaging beyond election cycles, substantial fundraising for sustained operations, and building a bench of principled leaders. Thomas, joining by phone, outlines her vision for bringing the party to people through local events, neighborhood barbecues, and her successful monthly happy hour connecting young families to freedom principles using relatable messaging about choice.

“If we keep the Democrats off the bench, they don’t make it on the playing field. That means we fight for every single one of those positions.”

— Andy Jones, Candidate for Douglas County GOP Chair

On January 24, 2023, Kim examines three critical fronts in the fight for liberty: empowering citizens to engage local government through boards and commissions, exposing the constitutional crisis of property equity theft where governments seize entire homes over minor tax debts, and investigating the Biden classified documents scandal alongside devastating COVID death tolls in China that challenge official narratives.

Start listening at 18:58 – Hour 1

Kathleen Chandler joins Kim to discuss the Independence Institute’s Local Government Project, which trains citizens to serve on boards and commissions. While people often fixate on national politics, Chandler argues local government officials have far more immediate impact on daily life. Over eight years, she has trained over 1,000 people and successfully placed approximately 250 citizens on boards and commissions across Colorado.

Getting involved does not require running for elected office. Citizens can be appointed to library boards, parks and recreation, planning and zoning commissions, and other bodies that wield fiscal impact and rulemaking authority. Planning and zoning commissioners, though unelected, determine where garages are built on private property and where business signs are placed. The incentive structure often leads elected officials to delegate controversial decisions to these appointed boards, providing political cover while unelected citizens make consequential rulings.

“If you don’t know the name of your mayor, if you don’t know the name of your city council member, why are you complaining? They can actually pass a law today that can affect your life tomorrow. And Nancy Pelosi, she doesn’t care about you because you don’t live in California, much less in her district.”

— Kathleen Chandler, Director of Citizen Involvement Project, Independence Institute

Chandler shares Don Sheehan’s success story. Six years ago, he attended her class, joined the Centennial Senior Commission, and used that platform to run successfully for city council. Now serving as Mayor Pro Tem, Sheehan helped stop a lodging tax and has been a voice of reason on vaping bans. The next training class is scheduled for January 31st via Zoom. With over 4,000 boards and commissions identified in the seven-county metro area alone, Chandler argues citizens must reclaim these positions to counter government overreach.

Start listening at 31:57 – Hour 1

Joshua Philipp joins Kim to analyze breaking developments in national and international news. The award-winning investigative reporter with The Epoch Times and host of Crossroads on Epoch TV examines the Biden classified documents scandal and reveals shocking evidence of massive COVID deaths in China that contradict official government narratives.

Biden’s own lawyers voluntarily disclosed the classified documents, suggesting the Democratic establishment wants him out of office. Philipp predicts both Biden and Kamala Harris will not run in 2024, with California Governor Gavin Newsom positioned as the likely Democratic nominee, though Michelle Obama remains a possibility backed by Obama-aligned power brokers. Philipp is working on part two of his January 6th documentary, focusing on what happened to the justice system, and a separate documentary about Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov, who warned about subversion in the 1980s.

On China, Philipp delivers alarming findings. Based on internal Chinese Communist Party numbers and independent verification through calls to crematoriums and funeral homes, The Epoch Times reports approximately 300 to 400 million COVID deaths in China. Crematoriums are backed up for one to two years because they cannot process all the bodies. This represents roughly one out of every three Chinese citizens. Philipp explains this could result from multiple factors: if COVID was a bioweapon, ground zero would experience the worst effects; widespread organ transplants among CCP officials requiring immunosuppressive drugs; China’s extreme lockdown policies weakening immune systems; and disease spread from bodies that cannot be properly buried or cremated.

“The narratives are dying. The narrative battle is being lost by the totalitarians. Everything they told us to do is backfiring. Everything they said would work is not working. And I think the tsunami of truth is breaking through the dams, and they can no longer hold it back.”

— Joshua Philipp, Senior Investigative Reporter, The Epoch Times

Philipp addresses the normalization of heart attacks in legacy media, noting articles claiming cold weather, video games, gardening, and football all cause heart attacks. He contrasts this with Florida Surgeon General evidence linking myocarditis to vaccine side effects. On vaccine safety, Philipp warns mRNA technology is being introduced into the food supply through research funded by Bill Gates. He recommends grass-fed organic beef and connecting directly with farmers. Despite these developments, Philipp offers hope, declaring 2023 the year truth is revealed and totalitarian narratives collapse under the weight of reality.

Start listening at 1:08:59 – Hour 2

David Deerson joins Kim to discuss Pacific Legal Foundation’s Supreme Court case challenging laws allowing governments to seize entire homes over small property tax debts and keep all surplus equity. Dearson serves as second chair in Tyler v. Hennepin County, a case that could end this practice across approximately a dozen states, including Colorado.

Ninety-four-year-old widow Geraldine Tyler owed $2,300 in property taxes on her condominium. With statutory penalties, interest, and fees, that debt grew to $15,000. Hennepin County, Minnesota foreclosed on her condo, sold it for $40,000, and kept the entire $25,000 surplus. Pacific Legal Foundation’s study of New Jersey found that on average, 92 percent of home value is confiscated in these foreclosures. This practice wipes out life savings and intergenerational wealth transfer.

In Colorado, private tax lien investors purchase delinquent tax liens for the amount owed, then foreclose and keep all surplus equity. Dearson shares a Detroit case where a client underpaid 2014 taxes by $144 due to a calculation error. The government sent notice to the wrong address despite having the correct address on file. Her home was seized and sold for $110,000 with the government keeping every penny. The incentive structure encourages minimal notification efforts because governments and investors profit when taxpayers remain uninformed.

“When your entire home gets taken over a municipal tax debt, people’s equity in their home is one of the primary mechanisms for saving and preserving wealth and for passing wealth on to the next generation. So when your entire home gets taken over a municipal tax debt, you know, their life savings are wiped out in many cases.”

— David Deerson, Attorney, Pacific Legal Foundation

Pacific Legal Foundation, a nonprofit donor-funded public interest law firm celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2023, provides all legal services pro bono. The organization achieved victory in 2019 when Michigan’s Supreme Court declared these laws unconstitutional under the state constitution. Now PLF seeks a federal ruling that would apply nationwide. If the Supreme Court rules equity theft constitutes a taking without just compensation, Colorado and other states would face liability for past seizures and must reform their tax foreclosure laws. Oral arguments are expected in April 2023.

On January 23, 2023, Kim examines grassroots conservative leadership with Steven Peck and Matt Emerson announcing their Douglas County GOP slate, Brad Beck exploring his philosophy of turning irritations into pearls of wisdom, and Dr. Michael Rechtenwald exposing the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset agenda following the recent Davos summit.

Start listening at 35:34 – Hour 1

Brad Beck presents his philosophy of turning irritations into pearls of wisdom, drawing a parallel between how oysters create pearls from foreign irritants and how citizens can transform daily frustrations into positive action. Beck criticizes the constant regulatory overreach exemplified by Colorado’s new 10-cent bag tax and cage-free chicken mandates that increase costs for families. He argues that government has crowded out non-profit organizations and community involvement that historically addressed social needs through voluntary benevolence rather than forced redistribution.

Beck emphasizes the importance of re-engagement in community organizations like Kiwanis, Optimist Clubs, Boys and Girls Clubs, and faith communities. He contends that citizens gain personal fulfillment from helping others through voluntary association rather than through government programs that primarily enrich bureaucrats. Using the homelessness crisis as an example, Beck points out that despite Mayor Hickenlooper’s promise to end homelessness in Denver nearly a decade ago, the problem has only worsened as more money gets thrown at it. He contrasts this with Southern California, describing Los Angeles as worse than Bangladesh, with homes for the homeless costing over a million dollars while the free market could provide solutions more efficiently with greater accountability.

The discussion connects individual responsibility and civic knowledge to the broader struggle for liberty. Beck quotes Francisco d’Anconia’s money speech from Atlas Shrugged, explaining that money is a tool of exchange representing production and value, not evil. He argues that free markets and capitalism enable the creation of wealth that elevates everyone, citing Silicon Valley innovators like Steve Jobs and Hewlett-Packard as examples of how freedom to create benefits society. Beck stresses the importance of telling stories from personal experience rather than relying solely on facts and figures when advancing ideas of freedom and liberty.

“Taking those irritations that we find in our lives every day and like that oyster, surround them with better ideas, with positive action. And I think at the end of the day, when you string them all together, like you string a group of people together that are passionate about liberty and freedom, you have a beautiful necklace.”

— Brad Beck, Co-Founder of Liberty Toastmasters

Start listening at 16:36 – Hour 1

In this segment, Steven Peck announces his candidacy for Douglas County GOP Chair alongside a full slate of conservative candidates. The slate includes Matt Emerson for First Vice Chair, Edward Harefield for Second Vice Chair, Megan Silverthorne for Treasurer, and Kim Baer for Secretary. Peck emphasizes the need to rebuild the party’s connection with voters, noting that many committed Republicans in Douglas County don’t even know what’s happening within the party structure.

The discussion reveals serious concerns about Douglas County’s changing demographics and political landscape. Despite its reputation as a ruby-red county, HD 43 in Highlands Ranch was lost in the recent election against a weak candidate. Peck attributes this to government policies driving demographic changes through transit-oriented development, subsidized housing, and economic development incentives that fundamentally alter community composition. He criticizes the current school board for maintaining an equity council, continuing CRT in schools, and advocating for tax increases while less than 50% of previous tax increase revenue actually went to teachers.

Matt Emerson, running for First Vice Chair, focuses on communication and outreach as his primary objectives. He emphasizes that many Republicans in his neighborhood remain unaware of party activities and conservative messaging. Emerson stresses the importance of knowing the constituency through better data management and leveraging the network of PCPs and district captains to identify and engage voters. The slate’s vision includes using the party’s “bully pulpit” through podcasts and media appearances to articulate why people should identify as Republicans and what the party stands for at the local level.

“Why would I give more money to an organization that’s propagating ideas that are antithetical to the American experiment? That is insane.”

— Steven Peck, Candidate for Douglas County GOP Chair

Start listening at 70:13 – Hour 2

In the second hour, Dr. Michael Rechtenwald, former professor of liberal studies and global studies at NYU, discusses his new book “The Great Reset and the Struggle for Liberty: Unraveling the Global Agenda.” Rechtenwald exposes how the World Economic Forum and United Nations formed a partnership in 2019 to accelerate Agenda 2030, which aims to fundamentally transform the world’s economic system through sustainability goals that curtail production and consumption, particularly in the developed world. The agenda includes population control measures that have been recommended by the UN since 1954, including forced sterilization and abortion.

Rechtenwald details the 15-minute city concept being promoted by globalist elites, where all human needs would be met within a 15-minute commute by bicycle or walking. This plan seeks to eliminate individually-owned fossil fuel vehicles, confine people within controlled zones, eliminate suburbs and rural living, and concentrate populations in dense urban areas. He explains that the transgender movement, drag queen story hours, and gender ideology serve the population control agenda by confusing young people about biological sex and reducing reproduction through surgical and pharmaceutical interventions that render people sterile.

The professor emphasizes that wokeness and social justice ideology function to bring about the Great Reset by guilt-tripping people out of their lifestyles, personal autonomy, and rights. He explains how corporations went woke to establish monopolies and cartels that drive out competitors, describing it as a scheme laid out by Antonio Gramsci’s prison notebooks and Rudi Dutschke’s “long march through the institutions.” Rechtenwald’s book includes a nine-point plan called “the grand refusal,” which involves rejecting technologies like Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), divesting from ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) banks, and establishing parallel economic structures of companies that reject the woke ESG agenda.

“Get a hold of the book and learn about this agenda because this is not going away. We’re into the fight of our lives. And I believe that the grand refusal is part of the way to resistance, and it means basically cutting the strings from these globalist puppet masters from ourselves and continuing to live the life of liberty that we were vouchsafed by the Constitution and our Creator.”

— Dr. Michael Rechtenwald, Author and Former NYU Professor

On January 20, 2023, Kim examines constitutional safeguards against tyranny with Allen Thomas, who distinguishes genuine fascism from progressive language manipulation, then hears 94-year-old Colonel Bill Rutledge share how Miss Marguerite Ward transformed wartime students through demanding excellence despite physical disability.

Start listening at 05:32 – Hour 1

Allen Thomas joins Kim to discuss his forthcoming essay titled Why We Should Not Fear Fascists, distinguishing between actual fascism and progressive redefinition weaponized against political opponents. Genuine fascism occurs when government exercises control through corporate collusion while maintaining the facade of private ownership, pointing to government coordination with Twitter to suppress speech as contemporary example differing from communism’s outright ownership. Progressives simply label anyone disagreeing with leftist ideology as fascist, illustrating how language manipulation advances authoritarian agendas. The discussion examines a quote from Henry Agard Wallace, who served as FDR’s vice president and ran as Progressive Party nominee in 1948, defining an American fascist as one who puts money and power ahead of human beings. Thomas interprets this as doublespeak designed to conflate free market capitalism with authoritarianism, undermining individual achievement by portraying it as threatening human welfare. Thomas emphasizes progressive infiltration spanning over 70 years systematically changing word definitions to sway people toward authoritarian thinking demonstrated during COVID tyranny. The segment explores Federalist Paper Number Six by Alexander Hamilton, warning against idle theories promising exemption from imperfections and weaknesses incident to society, rejecting utopian dreams of perfect wisdom. Thomas connects this to Marxist ideologies assuming human perfection, explaining how the Constitution acknowledges human nature’s gravitation toward power and evil, protecting people through structural limits rather than assuming governmental benevolence.

“There’s really two different definitions, right? There’s what an actual fascist is and there’s what the progressives want a fascist to be. The progressives define anybody that disagrees with them as fascist.”

— Allen Thomas, Author and Advocate

Start listening at 1:10:24 – Hour 2

Colonel Bill Rutledge examines the profound impact of an exceptional educator from his high school years in Fernandina Beach, Florida. Miss Marguerite Ward arrived spring 1943 during wartime teacher shortages, hired to teach Western civilization, American history, English grammar, literature, and civics. A St. Mary’s College graduate from the early 1930s, Ward taught despite being partially paralyzed from a spinal injection complication, using a wheelchair and a platform for resting when tired. Colonel Rutledge emphasizes Ward never exhibited victim mentality, demonstrating instead remarkable self-confidence and creativity inspiring students to look beyond physical limitations to capabilities and performance. Finding the library inadequate, Ward organized student fundraising through cake sales, using proceeds to purchase Encyclopedia Britannica, complete Shakespeare works, and representative classic authors. She required supplemental reading and book reports beyond textbooks, using essay examinations demanding written answers demonstrating comprehensive knowledge rather than fill-in-the-blank tests. Ward enriched curriculum by arranging University of Florida art displays, bringing RCA Red Label classical music records, and inviting community members with travel experiences to share knowledge germane to studies. When students complained about classmate Vernon sleeping during lecture, Ward declared Vernon would learn more asleep than complaining girls would awake, prophetically recognizing abilities that led Vernon to become a multimillionaire through shrimping and Gulf drilling despite never attending college. Colonel Rutledge notes that after nine years of college at six institutions, he never encountered any teacher comparable to Miss Ward, who instilled discernment about quality writing through disciplined instruction persisting throughout students’ lives.

“Ms. Ward was very asserting, and she was very self-confident. She would never use a physical disability as an excuse for anything. We never heard anything like that at all. She was a person who sought perfection and demanded the best out of anyone.”

— Colonel Bill Rutledge, Retired United States Air Force

On January 19, 2023, Kim examines two battles for American sovereignty with Scott Powell analyzing the World Economic Forum’s threat to subordinate the United States to global governance, and Wade Miller explaining how 20 House conservatives restructured congressional power during the speaker fight.

Start listening at 32:02 – Hour 1

Scott Powell joins Kim to analyze the World Economic Forum’s 53rd annual meeting in Davos, where an unprecedented number of U.S. officials gathered alongside global elites. Powell, senior fellow at the Discovery Institute and author of Rediscovering America, warns that the WEF seeks to dissolve nation-state sovereignty and subordinate America to non-democratic global authority. At least six Biden cabinet heads attended, including FBI Director Chris Wray, DNI Director Avril Haines, Climate Envoy John Kerry, and USAID head Samantha Power, along with more than a dozen senators, representatives, and governors. Powell argues the WEF agenda relies on psychological manipulation through fear-based appeals about climate catastrophe and health crises to advance centralized control. He connects COVID pandemic responses to fundamental changes in electoral systems, including expanded mail-in ballots and ballot harvesting that compromised election integrity. Powell contrasts God-given freedoms operating through free markets with government mandates dictating energy sources, light bulbs, and consumer products. Despite these challenges, Powell expresses guarded optimism rooted in competitive federalism, pointing to Florida under Governor DeSantis as evidence that liberty-based policies generate prosperity and demonstrate course correction remains possible when good judgment resides in the people rather than corrupted elites.

“This is one of the locuses, the locations of evil in the world. This is an organization that seeks a global tyranny, the dissolution of nation states. In other words, the end of the United States, the subordination of the United States to a global authority. And it would be an authority that is non-democratic and ruled by elites.”

— Scott Powell, Senior Fellow at Discovery Institute

Start listening at 1:10:22 – Hour 2

Wade Miller examines what 20 conservative House members achieved during the speaker vote negotiations. Miller, executive director at the Center for Renewing America founded by former OMB Director Russ Vought, describes a paradigm shift in House operations not witnessed in his lifetime. Individual members now possess significant legislative leverage, including amendment authority and substantive floor debate rights previously controlled by centralized leadership. The agreement establishes a Church-style select subcommittee under judiciary to investigate weaponized government, with findings tied directly to appropriations through the Holman rule, enabling Congress to zero out funding for specific officials without waiting for executive action. Fiscal provisions require 2022 spending levels or lower, with indications pointing toward 2023 defense numbers but 2019 non-defense discretionary spending. Conservatives secured three to four Rules Committee seats, functioning as the legislative gateway to block Senate spending bills negotiated between Schumer and McConnell. The motion to vacate enforces the entire agreement, providing sufficient votes to remove the speaker if terms are violated. Miller emphasizes Republicans must defend American culture against Marxist infiltration through critical race theory, social-emotional learning, and diversity-equity-inclusion programs. He confirms the deep state represents genuine bureaucratic resistance to elected leadership rather than conspiracy theory, proposing Schedule F employment conversion and continued Holman rule application to hold corrupt officials accountable.

“This is a paradigm shift in the way that the House operates, kind of in a way that we haven’t seen in a long time, not in my lifetime. There’s been a fundamental reshaping of how the House power structure operates.”

— Wade Miller, Executive Director at Center for Renewing America

On this January 18, 2023 broadcast, Kim Monson dissects Colorado’s Middle Income Housing Authority Act and its assault on property taxpayers, discusses faith and government tyranny with actor Kevin Sorbo, and examines the pattern of suspicious fires at critical food and energy infrastructure with rancher Trent Loos. As Davos elites gather at the World Economic Forum, Kim connects the dots between global agendas and local policies attacking American energy independence and food security.

Start listening at 76:21 – Hour 2

Sixth-generation farmer and rancher Trent Loos joins Kim to discuss the alarming pattern of fires at critical food and energy facilities. After discussing why cattle traditionally calve during February blizzards (historical farming patterns that persist despite being suboptimal), Loos details recent infrastructure damage:

The Phillips 66 refinery in Texas suffered a massive fire injuring six employees, shutting down 150,000 barrels per day of oil production and significant natural gas output. This follows the indefinite closure of Colorado’s Suncor plant, also due to fire. Two weeks prior, a fire destroyed a facility in Illinois producing 50% of the nation’s water treatment chemicals.

“Incrementally, over a long period of time, we have seen a tremendous crippling of the infrastructure. We’ve been talking about food, but also energy is coming right along with that. We have allowed our electric grid to be so vulnerable and we’ve demonized the reliable sources.”

— Trent Loos, Sixth-Generation Farmer and Rancher

Loos emphasizes that natural gas, nuclear, and coal—reliable energy sources—have been attacked and demonized while the grid becomes increasingly vulnerable. He warns this will “cause some pain and hardship for folks very quickly” as the cumulative effect of infrastructure destruction combines with regulatory assault on traditional energy production.

The conversation connects to broader themes of food security, with egg prices skyrocketing due to Colorado’s cage-free mandates. Loos affirms Ike Skelton’s observation that farmers, due to their connection to the land, are among the best environmentalists—a stark contrast to the urban elites gathering at Davos to dictate agricultural and energy policy.

Start listening at 27:19 – Hour 1

Returning to the show, Kevin Sorbo—actor, director, and producer known for Hercules and God’s Not Dead—discusses his latest film Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist, releasing January 26-29 in theaters nationwide. Sorbo plays Rayford Steele and directed the film, which depicts life six months after the rapture during the seven-year tribulation period.

The conversation addresses government’s favorite weapon: fear. Sorbo notes how COVID-era panic over toilet paper mirrors current egg shortages manufactured by regulatory overreach. He emphasizes that government officials have forgotten “we the people” are sovereign, with the Founding Fathers “spinning in their graves” over current power grabs.

“The favorite weapon of government is fear. And you know it. They use fear to control our lives and people let their lives be controlled. This is the problem. We put these people in the office and people forget it’s supposed to be we the people.”

— Kevin Sorbo, Actor and Director

On term limits, Sorbo advocates strongly for ending 40-year political careers, though Kim counters that bureaucrats like Fauci—who remain for decades while elected officials rotate—pose the greater threat. Sorbo agrees, noting bureaucrats believe “they’re gods with a lowercase g” and that Washington was meant for housewives, teachers, and people from all walks of life, not just lawyers fundraising for perpetual reelection.

Addressing climate alarmism, Sorbo points out the Earth has warmed “about one degree over the last 100 years” according to top climate activists, yet trillions are being spent to combat it. He challenges the hypocrisy of those demanding fossil fuel elimination while using cell phones, computers, and hundreds of petroleum-based products, noting Al Gore became a billionaire through green energy investments.

“The woke culture has infiltrated so many pastors and so many religious leaders now that they’re afraid of losing their congregation. I love my pastors because they’re not afraid of working their congregation down to a manageable size. They work for God, not government.”

— Kevin Sorbo, Actor and Director

On this January 17, 2023 broadcast, Kim Monson examines the consultant class profiting from perpetual Republican defeats in Colorado, celebrates the historic Read the Bill provision adopted by House Republicans, and exposes CDC manipulation tactics regarding vaccine safety data. Former Border Patrol agent Todd Watkins discusses the El Paso County GOP power struggle, Open the Books founder Adam Andrzejewski details the victory for legislative transparency, and Dr. Rachel Corbett reveals how public health agencies use limited hangout techniques to avoid accountability.

Start listening at 33:01 – Hour 1

Continuing the conversation, Adam Andrzejewski, founder of Open the Books, celebrates a major transparency victory achieved through the 15-vote Speaker of the House battle. The 20 Republican holdouts successfully negotiated the inclusion of a 72-hour Read the Bill provision in the House rules package—the first time in congressional history such a requirement has been adopted.

Andrzejewski explains that Open the Books championed this reform for two years, gathering tens of thousands of petition signatures and making it a centerpiece of speeches from Capitol Hill to the Reagan Ranch. The provision is coupled with single-subject legislation requirements, ending the practice of massive omnibus bills dropped in the middle of the night with votes held before anyone can read them.

“People are sick and tired of the omnibus, minibus, you know, these massive thousands of pages spending bills dropped in the middle of the night. They vote on it the next day and nobody even knows what’s in these things. It’s terrible. The Republicans adopted this. They adopted it in their House rules package for the first time in history.”

— Adam Andrzejewski, Founder, Open the Books

Additional spending reforms include capping discretionary spending at 2022 levels and requiring corresponding spending cuts for any debt ceiling increase. Andrzejewski notes the national debt has risen from under $6 trillion at the start of the George W. Bush administration to over $31 trillion—a fivefold increase in 20 years.

Start listening at 17:23 – Hour 1

In this segment, Todd Watkins, former U.S. Border Agent and 2022 El Paso County Sheriff candidate, joins Kim to expose how the consultant class profits from keeping Colorado Republicans in perpetual crisis. Watkins explains that grassroots conservatives have filled nearly 100 vacant precinct leader positions since the March 2022 caucus, reducing vacancies from over 200 to approximately 110 out of 646 total positions.

The establishment faction, calling themselves the Peak Republicans, has solicited state GOP chair Christie Burton Brown (KBB) to intervene in local party affairs. KBB has called a meeting for January 31st to potentially appoint an overseer for the February reorganizational meeting and determine the “legally valid list” of precinct committee persons—effectively threatening to disenfranchise nearly 100 newly appointed grassroots leaders.

“Just my own brief experience with Colorado politics, it is evident, it is really clear that being in a constant state of crisis with the party, with conservative values, has kept those lines of funding open. So as long as we’re losing, as long as it’s an imminent threat to our liberties, that’s how they seem to keep the funding going.”

— Todd Watkins, Former U.S. Border Agent

Watkins draws a parallel between the state party’s intervention and Secretary of State Jena Griswold’s removal of Tina Peters from her election duties in Mesa County, warning that allowing governing bodies to assume powers they don’t statutorily possess sets dangerous precedent.

Start listening at 61:28 – Hour 2

In the second hour, Dr. Rachel Corbett of Roots Medical exposes how the CDC employs “limited hangout” tactics to maintain public trust while concealing the full scope of vaccine safety problems. She references political economist Toby Rogers’ analysis of the CDC’s Friday afternoon announcement before a long holiday weekend—a classic timing strategy for minimizing attention.

Corbett explains that the CDC compared stroke rates from days 0-21 post-vaccination to days 22-42, deliberately avoiding comparison with unvaccinated populations where the true safety signal would emerge. The analysis was limited to people 65 and older, ignoring concerning signals in younger populations including teenagers experiencing strokes.

“This is psychological warfare, is what this is. This is not a battle on the battleground. This is psychological warfare, and it’s so funny because I look, I have a lot of friends who you know, who are ex-military or you know, believe, and they they don’t see that this is a psychological battle. It’s a complete psychological battle.”

— Dr. Rachel Corbett, Roots Medical

As a practitioner trained in neurolinguistic programming, Corbett notes that NLP specialists internationally were among the first to recognize the psychological manipulation tactics being deployed. She urges listeners to support legal challenges through organizations like ICAN, Del Bigtree’s efforts, the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons, and Health Freedom Defense Fund, emphasizing that these battles will ultimately be won in the courts.

On this Martin Luther King Day broadcast from January 16, 2023, Kim Monson examines how the American School Counselor Association has become a vehicle for pushing critical race theory and transgender ideology in schools, while also exploring the mounting pressures facing Colorado small businesses from new regulations including the Family Leave Insurance program.

Start listening at 72:20 – Hour 2

Continuing with economic policy, Susan Kochevar, owner of the historic 88 Drive-In Theater, joins Kim to discuss the mounting regulatory burdens crushing Colorado small businesses. Kochevar explains how the new Family Leave Insurance program, which began collecting payroll deductions in January 2023, threatens to destabilize small business operations.

Kochevar notes that employers must collect 0.45% from employees and match it, paying into a state-run fund. The program allows employees to take up to eight weeks of leave, with a government board determining who qualifies. For a small business with only a few employees, having multiple staff members take leave simultaneously could collapse operations entirely.

“Small businesses are absolutely being strangled, just strangled. And that’s by design.”

— Susan Kochevar, Owner, 88 Drive-In Theater

The discussion also covers how economic development programs pick winners and losers, offering tax breaks to new businesses while established local businesses continue paying full rates. Kochevar emphasizes that if lower taxes help attract new businesses, those same lower rates would benefit existing businesses that have demonstrated stability and community commitment.

Start listening at 30:43 – Hour 1

In this segment, Alvin Liu of Courage is a Habit joins Kim to expose how the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) has transformed from guidance counselors into purveyors of woke ideology. Liu explains that his organization attended ASCA’s annual conference and collected videos, PowerPoints, and handouts that reveal counselors are the largest purveyors of transgender ideology in schools.

Liu details how Social Emotional Learning (SEL) serves as a delivery system for critical race theory. Terms like “empathy” and “responsible decision-making” sound innocuous but are taught through an ideological lens. He explains that empathy training conditions girls to accept biological males in their bathrooms and locker rooms, while responsible decision-making teaches white children they must vote for reparations due to their supposed privilege.

“Social emotional learning is a great scam because the moment you say the word mental health, everybody goes, oh, yeah, of course. But that’s the Trojan horse. And that’s why our schools look the way they do.”

Liu also exposes how in-class surveys data-mine children under the guise of measuring school climate. These surveys, given through an “equity lens,” manipulate results to justify more CRT content, more LGBTQ representation, and more social justice programming. When parents push back, administrators claim the changes are “evidence-based” using this manipulated data.
