On January 5, 2024, Brad Beck and Stephanie Pierucci joined the show. Beck explored organic mentorship relationships, the Colorado ballot access ruling, and border security concerns while advocating for renewed understanding of founding principles Pierucci reported from Maui on toxic exposure risks, death toll discrepancies, the media blackout, and regulatory barriers preventing displaced residents from rebuilding

Stephanie Pierucci reports from Maui on four critical concerns emerging from the Lahaina disaster. The toxic dust and ash pose long-term health risks that the EPA may have understated by testing air quality upwind from the devastation. Pierucci warns that cancer, leukemias, and birth defects could emerge years later, drawing parallels to the health crisis that followed 9/11.

The rebuilding process faces near-insurmountable obstacles. Each permit requires 12 months for approval, new construction must sit 17 feet above water level, and property easements will shrink lot sizes dramatically. Many homeowners who owned properties outright had no insurance, leaving them financially stranded while paying mortgages on destroyed homes.

Pierucci reveals that unemployment benefits remain inaccessible to most displaced workers, and those who missed the initial fundraising window after the fire find little support now. Her investigation into death toll discrepancies suggests the official count of 98 significantly underrepresents the true loss, with whistleblowers claiming hundreds of additional bodies were recovered.

“It might be five or ten years before we know anything, but we are looking at a massive potential die-off of people because of the exposure to the toxic ash.”

Brad Beck, co-founder of Liberty Toastmasters, discusses the value of organic mentor relationships built on genuine friendship rather than formal requests. He emphasizes that understanding different perspectives strengthens critical thinking, even when fundamental disagreements exist.

The conversation turns to pressing national issues, including the Colorado Supreme Court ruling on ballot access and the ongoing border crisis. Beck argues that a porous southern border undermines the social compact, with taxpayer resources diverted to support illegal immigration while veterans face reduced medical care as doctors relocate to border facilities.

Beck calls for renewed focus on founding principles: human equality, natural rights, consent of the governed, and limited federal power. He contends that citizens must understand these concepts to effectively push back against government overreach and participate meaningfully in civic life.

“We have a southern border that is more porous than a cauldron. If we didn’t have a welfare state, that’s a different conversation. But our taxes go to help all these people who are illegally coming over to our nation.”

Kim Monson honors Medal of Honor recipient Joseph C. Rodriguez, a United States Army sergeant who displayed extraordinary valor during the Korean War on May 21, 1951. Rodriguez single-handedly assaulted five enemy emplacements, eliminating 15 enemy combatants and breaking the opposition’s defense to secure a strategic strongpoint. Born in 1928 and passing in 2005, Rodriguez left these words: “Life on this earth is short but precious. Strive to do good for others and enjoy doing it.”

On January 4, 2024, Gregory Wrightstone, Karen Levine, and Mike Morrell joined the show. Gregory Wrightstone explained how increased CO2 and modest warming benefit humanity through record crop yields, expanding forests, and longer growing seasons, while pushing back against climate crisis narratives Karen Levine discussed the softening of interest rates and its impact on the 2024 Colorado housing market, while addressing construction defects legislation.

Start listening at 31:09 – Hour 1

Gregory Wrightstone, executive director of the CO2 Coalition and author of A Very Convenient Warming, pushes back against climate crisis narratives with data showing that increased CO2 levels and modest warming are actually benefiting humanity. Wrightstone points to record crop yields, expanding forests, and shrinking deserts as evidence that life on Earth is thriving.

The conversation addressed government overreach in the name of climate policy, from Department of Energy regulations on showerheads and dishwashers to efforts to eliminate incandescent light bulbs. Wrightstone described how nighttime low temperatures, not daytime highs, are driving modest warming trends, which means longer growing seasons and fewer late-spring killing frosts for farmers.

Wrightstone also discussed his work with state legislators and members of Congress, noting that the CO2 Coalition is producing state-by-state reports on climate data. He emphasized that agricultural productivity is outpacing population growth globally, thanks to the combination of modest warming, increased CO2 fertilization, and fossil fuel-derived nitrogen fertilizers.

“So we should embrace and celebrate warming and more CO2.”

Karen Levine, REMAX Alliance Realtor, shared her perspective on the Colorado Front Range housing market heading into 2024. After a challenging 2023 marked by doubled interest rates and affordability concerns, Levine sees promising signs as rates begin to soften.

Levine noted that limited inventory continues to drive appreciation potential, making early 2024 an opportune time for buyers to act before competition heats up. She also addressed the ongoing impact of construction defects legislation that has stifled condominium and townhouse development, contrasting it with the apartment construction boom that keeps potential homeowners as renters.

The Colorado Association of Realtors is pushing for state-level reforms to what Levine calls “construction litigation legislation” that has harmed entry-level and affordable housing options for years.

“But what’s exciting about 2024 is we’ve already seen a softening, a lowering of the interest rate, which is going to improve affordability.”

Mike Morrell, former California State Senator, discussed his book The Road to Restoring the Family and the biblical principle that fathers should leave an inheritance to their children’s children. Morrell served in the California State Senate from 2010 to 2021, witnessing firsthand the erosion of traditional values in public policy.

Morrell warned that modern education is laced with Marxist ideology designed to separate children from parents and make them wards of the state. He pointed to encouraging signs in the parental rights movement, with mothers and fathers showing up at school board meetings to push back against indoctrination and demand academic excellence.

The conversation touched on the intersection of religion and politics, with Morrell citing George Washington’s observation that America’s success came from the intersection of Jerusalem (religion) and Athens (politics). He emphasized that the Constitution limits government power and puts authority back in the hands of the people, but citizens must engage and hold elected officials accountable.

“The duty of a father is to leave an inheritance to his children’s children. And inheritance goes beyond just the financial aspect, but it’s about spirituality, marriage, financial, educationally, even politically, defending freedom, leadership, purpose, destiny, education.”

Mike Morrell, Former California State Senator

On January 3, 2024, Raven Harrison and Trent Loos joined the show. Harrison recounted how her daughter’s 2017 expulsion from a California school for voting Trump in a mock election launched her political activism and the Conservative Warrior movement Loos argued that thoughts constitute property and that self-censorship, accelerated since 2020, represents a surrender of fundamental rights to government control

Start listening at 31:54 – Hour 1

Raven Harrison recounts the moment that transformed her from a politically disengaged military family member into a full-time activist. In March 2017, her eight-year-old daughter was expelled from a California elementary school for voting for Donald Trump in a mock election. The school forced the child to write 100 times that Hillary Clinton was the true president. Harrison, whose parents are both retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonels, channeled her outrage into founding the Conservative Warrior movement.

Harrison describes how she prayed for guidance and felt called to action. She wrote her book Raven’s Mantle detailing her journey and now travels the country organizing conservatives at the grassroots level. She emphasizes that everyday Americans must engage in the battle rather than waiting for political saviors.

“They tried to expel my eight-year-old daughter from elementary school for voting for President Trump in a mock election. They gave her a detention assignment that said that she used to write 100 times, Hillary Clinton is the true president and Donald Trump is an ass.”

Trent Loos argues that freedom of thought represents the most fundamental property right Americans possess. The sixth-generation farmer and rancher observes that self-censorship has accelerated dramatically since 2020, with people increasingly reluctant to share their genuine beliefs even among family members.

Loos points to the COVID-19 era as a turning point when government messaging divided families over vaccination choices. He notes that his own daughter stopped expressing her views in college after repeated attacks from peers. The agricultural advocate warns that accepting the path of least resistance, as the Bolsheviks discovered, ultimately benefits government control rather than individual freedom.

“There’s not a day goes by that somebody doesn’t say to me, well, I would never say that publicly. Why? If there’s something you’re thinking, why would you be reluctant to say it publicly? That’s because somebody has robbed your property, your thought process as an individual citizen of this state.”

Trent Loos, sixth-generation rancher

Loos announced the All-American Beef Battalion event at the National Western Stock Show on Saturday, January 6th. The organization, founded by late Vietnam veteran Bill Brody, has served nearly 500,000 troops over 14 years. Veterans and first responders can receive a free ribeye meal at the yards as a thank you for their service.

On January 2, 2024, Christine Uwizera Coleman joined the show. Coleman shared her survival story from the 1994 genocide and detailed her leadership of MRD, a movement working to restore democracy in Rwanda after 30 years of Kagame’s dictatorship

Start listening at 05:00 – Hour 1

Kim Monson opened 2024 with analysis of major Colorado political developments. The Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling to remove Donald Trump from the primary ballot sparked a constitutional crisis, though Trump was temporarily restored pending a U.S. Supreme Court appeal. Kim emphasized that the lawsuit was brought by Republicans and former Republicans, including Norma Anderson, mother-in-law of former Secretary of State candidate Pam Anderson.

Lauren Boebert announced her decision to switch from CD3 to CD4 for her congressional campaign, creating a crowded Republican primary. State Senator Ron Hanks declared his candidacy for the CD3 seat Boebert vacated. Meanwhile, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston described Denver as “ground zero” for America’s migrant crisis, with the city purchasing the Embassy Suites Hotel for $21 million to house migrants, removing another property from the tax rolls.

Christine Uwizera Coleman survived the 1994 Rwandan genocide when nearly one million people were killed in three months. Her sister, brother-in-law, and their four-month-old baby were murdered just six hours after Christine left their home. She escaped to the Democratic Republic of Congo as a refugee before eventually immigrating to the United States legally.

Coleman now serves as president of MRD (Movement for the Republic and Democracy in Rwanda), an organization of freedom fighters from Canada, Belgium, Europe, and the United States working to remove Paul Kagame from power. Kagame seized control in 1994 under the guise of bringing democracy but has ruled as a dictator for 30 years, with American government support.

The common people of Rwanda live in extreme poverty, surviving on less than one dollar per day, while Kagame has become one of Africa’s richest presidents through control of minerals from neighboring Congo. Coleman revealed that Rwanda has attacked Congo in an ongoing two-year war over mineral resources, including the cobalt and coltan used in electric vehicle batteries. The UN mapping report attributes 10 million deaths in Congo to Kagame’s forces.

“But God had made a plan that I survive and so that one day I can fight for the freedom of Rwanda, which is what I am doing.”

Christine Uwizera Coleman, President of MRD

Start listening at 104:30 – Hour 2

Coleman drew parallels between pre-genocide Rwanda and concerning trends in America today. She identified division as the primary tool dictators use to gain power, warning that politicians with hidden agendas deliberately pit groups against each other. “Your neighbor is not your enemy,” Coleman emphasized. “The enemy is darkness, is the devil.”

She urged Americans to remain united, pray for their nation, search for truth, and use discernment. Coleman warned that destructive movements always come under the guise of deception, making it each citizen’s duty to seek truth. The episode closed with Coleman leading a prayer for America’s continued freedom and faithfulness to God.

“We used to have independence, freedom, we had the revolution. But when Kagame came in power, he put away all of that and he took away the freedom of Rwandans and he installed back the monarchy.”

Christine Uwizera Coleman, President of MRD

On January 1, 2024, Everett Piper and Ben Rall joined the show. Examined the connection between family structure and economic health, arguing that the decline of the nuclear family underlies many of America’s social and economic challenges Presented evidence that humans are designed to heal, challenging pharmaceutical dependency and emphasizing personal responsibility for health through simple lifestyle changes

Start listening at 2:11 – Hour 1

Dr. Everett Piper addresses a fundamental question: What can national leaders do to rescue America from economic decline? His answer challenges conventional economic thinking by pointing directly to family structure.

Piper presents sobering statistics revealing that 46 percent of American children under 18 now live in homes without two married heterosexual parents, compared to 73 percent in 1960. He argues that this breakdown carries enormous economic consequences, with the Heritage Foundation reporting nearly a trillion dollars spent annually to compensate for family dissolution. Married two-parent families, he notes, work more, earn more, save more, pay more taxes, and contribute more to their communities.

The conversation extends to what Piper calls the “God-shaped vacuum” in every human heart, a concept he attributes to Pascal. When God is removed from culture, he argues, government inevitably fills that void with devastating consequences. He draws parallels between modern progressive ideology and historical examples of civilizational collapse, from the Roman Empire to the Soviet Union.

“If you want to fix the economy, pay attention to the family and primarily in today’s world, pay attention to fatherhood, because without a dad in the home you’re going to have young men that are unbridled and they will not behave properly.”

– Dr. Everett Piper, Former University President and Washington Times Columnist

Piper addresses the cultural assault on masculinity, arguing that the “toxic masculinity” narrative undermines the virtues of courage, chivalry, and male leadership that civilizations require. He contends that teaching men to be gentlemen and teaching boys to control themselves represents a father’s primary obligation, and losing this creates cascading social problems.

Start listening at 59:53 – Hour 2

Continuing the theme of purposeful design, Dr. Ben Rall presents a compelling case for understanding health through the lens of intentional creation. As a chiropractor with over 20 years of experience and author of “Designed to Heal,” Rall challenges listeners to recognize their bodies as divinely engineered systems.

Rall delivers a stark assessment of American healthcare: the United States ranks 38th in overall healthcare outcomes despite spending more than any other nation. Life expectancy for American men has dropped to 73.2 years, and medical care itself represents the third leading cause of death. He argues this reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of health as something pharmaceuticals provide rather than something our bodies inherently possess.

The practical applications Rall offers are remarkably accessible. He reads extensively from medical research demonstrating that simply walking 30 minutes a day several times a week can prevent up to 91 percent of obesity and type 2 diabetes cases, reduce heart disease by 50 percent, decrease all-cause mortality by 67 percent, and prevent 47 percent of cognitive impairment. This evidence, he emphasizes, costs nothing to implement.

“We’re about 100 trillion cells, each one of us, plus or minus. And in each cell, we have about 100 trillion atoms. Just that reality right there, that somehow our bodies regulate themselves… it’s so fascinating.”

– Dr. Ben Rall, Wellness Expert and Author

Rall connects physical wellness to spiritual purpose, arguing that caring for one’s body represents a form of worship and gratitude. He encourages listeners to extend grace to themselves while taking personal responsibility, noting that accountability through community relationships proves essential for lasting health changes.

On December 29, 2023, Kim Monson welcomed two experts to examine threats to American liberty: retired Army Col. John Mills, author of “War Against the Deep State,” analyzed the expansion of government surveillance and bureaucratic overreach, while urban planning expert Randall O’Toole exposed Governor Polis’s plan to force high-density housing on Coloradans who prefer single-family homes.

Start listening at 2:07 – Hour 1

Col. John Mills traces the foundations of America’s modern surveillance state to mass surveillance systems he helped establish between 2007 and 2014. Originally designed to protect Americans from foreign extremist threats, these capabilities have been turned inward against American citizens. Mills identifies three new branches of government beyond the traditional bureaucratic fourth branch: the administrative state weaponizing regulation as law, the fusion of federal law enforcement with big tech creating pervasive surveillance, and politicized nonprofits funneling money to advance progressive agendas.

The EPA’s attempts to regulate groundwater on private property and the ATF’s pistol brace ruling exemplify bureaucrats treating regulations as if they were law. Mills points to the UPenn Biden Center and the 51 intelligence officers letter as examples of nonprofits conducting election interference. He argues that church groups and hotel chains profiting from illegal immigrant resettlement demonstrate how the nonprofit sector has been corrupted by government money.

“The fifth branch is the fusion of federal law enforcement, federal intelligence, and big tech to create a pervasive, take that pervasive surveillance state and really, really conduct severe targeting, silencing, and censoring of Americans.”

Col. John Mills, Author, War Against the Deep State

Start listening at 34:54 – Hour 1

Mills argues that Colorado has become a case study of what happens when progressive transplants from blue states take over local governance. He identifies the seven centers of gravity in America’s 3,300 counties: election boards, school boards, registrars, county councils, sheriffs, judges, and prosecutors. The solution to defeating the deep state starts with citizen involvement at the local level, not waiting for federal solutions.

Legal cannabis in Colorado has created opportunities for Chinese paramilitary operations to muscle into the cash-heavy industry, while money skimmed from these operations funds paid protesters waving various activist flags. Mills calls on Coloradans to get off the couch, stop complaining on social media, and actually run for local office or attend city council meetings.

“Get off the couch. Get in the game. Stop bellowing on social media. Stop bellowing, getting mad and getting angry. Get in the game and get involved. The busybodies have just taken over these roles, and there’s only one way to deal with it. That’s to take them back.”

Col. John Mills, Author, War Against the Deep State

Start listening at 60:14 – Hour 2

Randall O’Toole exposes Governor Polis’s “2026 Roadmap” as a repackaged version of the failed Senate Bill 213. The plan aims to eliminate single-family zoning, allow duplexes and fourplexes in residential neighborhoods, and force high-density development near transit lines. While the previous bill used mandates, Polis now proposes incentives, threatening to withhold federal and state housing subsidies from cities that refuse to densify.

O’Toole notes that 80 percent of Americans prefer single-family homes, yet urban planners insist on packing people into 600-square-foot apartments. The planners ignore that only 1.5 percent of Colorado is developed, leaving 98.5 percent as open space. Their obsession with preventing “sprawl” comes at the cost of housing affordability and personal choice.

“Most Americans want to live in a single-family home, and by most I mean 80 percent. And yet urban planners think that if they can pack people into apartments and other high-density housing that they’ll drive less, and that’ll somehow be better for the environment. It actually is worse, because they might drive a little less, but it’ll be a lot more congested.”

Randall O’Toole, Transportation and Urban Planning Expert

Start listening at 93:33 – Hour 2

O’Toole presents damning statistics on Denver’s transit investments. In 1990, 4.7 percent of Denver commuters took transit to work. After spending more than $10 billion on light rail and commuter rail, plus hundreds of millions on transit-oriented development subsidies, that figure rose to just 4.8 percent by 2019. Meanwhile, traffic congestion has massively increased, generating more greenhouse gases per capita than in 1990.

The affordable housing industrial complex builds expensive five-story apartment buildings that cost twice as much per square foot as two-story buildings. For every subsidized housing unit built, developers build 0.8 fewer unsubsidized units, creating a net negative effect on housing supply. O’Toole calls for abolishing urban growth boundaries and ending the rail transit obsession.

“So the plans are failing all around, and yet the solution is more of it. Let’s build a front-range rail line. Let’s build a rail line to Longmont. You know, let’s subsidize more housing, more high-density housing. Always a solution when the plans fail is to do more of the same, and people need to understand that this is not working, and maybe replace their elected officials with other elected officials who do understand that.”

Randall O’Toole, Transportation and Urban Planning Expert

On December 28, 2023, Kim Monson welcomed Dr. Jill Vecchio and Rev. C.L. Bryant to explore the spiritual and cultural battles shaping America. Vecchio, a physician and health freedom advocate, shared how biblical faith provides peace amid mounting global concerns. Bryant, an award-winning filmmaker and former NAACP leader, discussed civil rights, American birthright, and the erosion of character in modern society.

Start listening at 3:09 – Hour 1

Jill Vecchio methodically catalogued the anxieties plaguing Americans: the World Economic Forum’s Agenda 2030, mRNA vaccines and potential new pandemics, wars in Israel, central bank digital currencies, eroding privacy, artificial intelligence, transhumanism, food supply concerns, abortion expansion, and the transgender movement. Rather than succumb to despair, Vecchio explained how she maintains calm through deep study of biblical scripture and prophecy.

Vecchio pointed to alarming cultural shifts, including a satanic Baphomet sculpture installed in the Iowa State Capitol. She urged parents to investigate the music and videos their children consume, citing artists like Katy Perry and Lady Gaga who openly embrace satanic imagery. The discussion turned to the Apostle Paul’s concept of the “mystery of iniquity,” the idea that humanity’s descent into evil will accelerate until Christ’s return.

“Be still and know that I’m God. In other words, settle down, take a breath and trust in God. He has a plan. He has a plan for each one of us.”

Jill Vecchio, Physician and Health Freedom Advocate

Start listening at 35:19 – Hour 1

Vecchio outlined practical steps for spiritual renewal: trust in God, believe in Jesus Christ, express gratitude daily, follow his teachings, and ask for forgiveness when falling short. She emphasized that the apostasy of the church, the falling away from faith, is identified in Revelation as a precursor to the opening of the seven seals. Matthew 7:13’s teaching that the road to perdition is wide and easy while the road to righteousness is narrow and difficult became a central theme.

The discussion touched on Pascal’s famous wager about belief in God. Vecchio asked why Christians fear death when scripture promises an amazing eternity. She recommended reading the Bible, watching “The Chosen,” and finding pastors who perform deep scriptural analysis. Her message culminated in a call to ask God for a job, a specific mission to serve something greater than oneself.

“Start reading the Bible. Start generating a really great relationship with God. And I tell you what, you won’t regret one second of it. The Bible is the greatest mystery book ever written, and it is. It’s fascinating.”

Jill Vecchio, Physician and Health Freedom Advocate

C.L. Bryant, whose parents helped bring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to Shreveport, Louisiana in 1959, lamented the backsliding in race relations since President Trump left office. He noted the absurdity of a Boston mayor hosting a dinner exclusively for people of color. Bryant emphasized that Barack Obama’s presidency proved that skin color presents no barrier to achievement in America, yet Marxist ideologies now define people by group identity rather than individual merit.

Bryant addressed the transgender movement’s assault on women’s sports, questioning why no women seek to compete in men’s athletics. The discussion highlighted how COVID exposed the hidden curriculum in public schools, with parents discovering books promoting homosexual relationships that never came home with students. Bryant called for transparency and parental involvement in education.

“What happens when you lose character? How is it, then, that we’re being judged by the content of our character when people have a very difficult time defining what character is anymore in this country?”

C.L. Bryant, Filmmaker and Minister

Start listening at 91:46 – Hour 2

Bryant traced his documentary “Runaway Slave” to the phrase “Democrat plantation,” which originated with Herman Cain. He lamented that young people are taught to hate their white classmates for sins their ancestors may not have committed, passing down poison through generations. His family’s grudge against the McBrides over a shot mule illustrated how grievances persist long after anyone remembers their origin.

The conversation turned to border security and the erosion of American birthright. Bryant observed military-aged men appearing in communities across the nation, even in his quiet Florida town. He warned that Americans will soon find strangers in their backyards with government sanction. Bryant praised Thomas Jefferson’s divinely inspired words in the Declaration of Independence, noting they guaranteed that a white woman and black man could one day discuss America’s greatness on radio together.

“That old white man and the other old white men who went along with him, risking their life, liberty, and their sacred honor in order to bring about this nation, also ensured that 87 years after this nation became a nation, slavery only existed in America for 87 years after those words were penned.”
