With engaging discussions, Kim unpacks the complex dynamics of political power and individual liberties, inviting listeners to critically think about their roles in society and governance.
SPEAKER 10 :
It’s the Kim Munson Show, analyzing the most important stories.
SPEAKER 13 :
That seems to me like government is establishing a religion.
SPEAKER 10 :
The latest in politics and world affairs.
SPEAKER 13 :
If you give people rights, women’s rights, gay rights, whatever, there can’t be equal rights if there are special rights.
SPEAKER 10 :
Today’s current opinions and ideas.
SPEAKER 13 :
Surveys show that people still really prefer freedom over government force.
SPEAKER 10 :
Is it freedom or is it force? Let’s have a conversation.
SPEAKER 13 :
Indeed. Let’s have a conversation. And welcome to the Kim Munson Show. Thank you so much for joining us. You’re each treasured, you’re valued, you have purpose. Today’s drive for excellence. Take care of your heart, your soul, your mind and your body. My friends, we were made for this moment in history. And thank you to the team. That’s producer Joe, Luke, Rachel, Zach, Echo, Charlie, Mike, Teresa and all the people here at Crawford Broadcasting. Happy Tuesday, producer Joe. Happy Tuesday, Kim. And we’ve got a great show planned for you today. We’ll talk with Rebecca Kelty in this first hour, as well as Brandon Wark with Free State Colorado. And Rebecca is going to let us know what happened with the recount of her state house race. And in the second hour, we’ll talk with John Boson, great sponsor of the show, and Susan Kochavar. entrepreneur and owner of 88 drive-in theater and she’s going to share her perspective on what’s happening right now in the country so that’s going to be super interesting as well check out the website that is kim munson mon son.com sign up for our weekly email newsletter you’ll get first look at our upcoming guests as well as our most recent essays you can email me at kim at kimmunson.com and thank you to all of you who support us we are an independent voice and we search for truth and clarity by looking at these issues through the lens of freedom versus force force versus freedom if something’s a good idea you should not have to force people to do it and it’s never compassionate to take other people’s stuff whether or not it’s their rights their property their freedom livelihoods opportunities or lives via force and force can be a weapon It can be policy, unpredictable and excessive taxation, fear, coercion, government induced inflation, the World Economic Forum, the globalist elites, United Nations, the Colorado State Legislature, the Colorado governor, the World Health Organization, these land use codes, zoning regulations and forced fees. And the list is getting longer and we need to go to work to shrink this list. And so we will do that. Remember, if something is a good idea, you should not have to use force to implement it. And the show comes to you on all KLZ 560 platforms. That’s KLZ 560 AM, KLZ 100.7 FM. the KLZ website, the KLZ app, and then our show summaries are posted typically the next day. Embedded in that is a podcast if you want to go back and listen to the show. Once that happens, that podcast also goes to the streaming services such as iTunes and Spotify. Let’s see, let’s get into our word of the day. And the word of the day is hardyhood and is spelled H-A-R-D-I-H-O-O-D. And it could be boldness and daring. It could be impudence or insolence. And it could be boldness united with firmness and consistency of mind, bravery, intrepidity. And it could also be, though, audaciousness. But hardyhood, we need to be… very hardy hood in our each and every day as we’re engaging in this battle of ideas. And I think that we have a window in time right now to reclaim our state and our country. And we need to go forth with hardy hood today. to make that happen. Our quote of the day is from Marcus Aurelius. He was born in 121. He died in 180. He was a Roman emperor and a Stoic philosopher. And he was a member of the Nerva Antonine dynasty, the last of the rulers, later known as the five good emperors. And he said this, when you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive, to breathe, to think, to enjoy, and to love. And so each day, what do they say? Each day is a gift. That’s why it is called the present. This day in history, several things. 1775, the first official U.S. flag is raised. And just imagine what was happening during that time. It had taken a while to get to the point of the revolution. And so in 1775, when they raised a flag for the U.S. flag, that was a big deal. 1847, Frederick Douglass publishes his first issue of his newspaper, North Star. 1911, this changed things significantly because we probably couldn’t have Las Vegas or Phoenix without this particular invention. And that was Willis Carrier presents his influential rational psychometric formula on air conditioning to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and makes air conditioning possible. And so what that means is he came up with a way that we could actually control our own personal climates. We could be cool in the summer and warm, well, warm in the winter and makes our lives much, much better. And of course, this movement now with the climate change, wants to take away these things that help us be able to control our own climate and make our lives better. And so it’s really about control regarding this climate change. I should mention, be sure and check out aclimateconversation.com. You can watch the documentary, A Climate Conversation, which is the project of Walt Johnson. But we are doing amazing podcasts as well with experts and scientists. And you will learn a lot by listening to those podcasts as well. And you can find all that at aclimateconversation.com. 1943, the World War II Battle of Monte Cassino in Italy begins. And in 1967, the first human heart transplant was performed in South Africa by Dr. Christian Barnard on Louis Washtansky. And so that’s this day in history. The show does come to you because of our sponsors. And thank you to Laramie Energy for their gold sponsorship of the show. On our headlines, and thank you, Holly, because I talked about Mayor Mike Johnston stating that he would go to jail to defy President Trump’s deportation of immigrants and Tom Homan. the potential… Let’s see, now I can’t remember his exact title. Hold on here. Anyway, he had said that he actually would… He agreed that he would send Johnston to jail so that they agreed on that. But then Mayor Mike Johnston has walked this back. And this is from Nine News. This was a few days ago. It says that Denver Mayor Mike Johnston said he will encourage people to protest President-elect Trump’s planned deportations in Colorado and is willing to go to jail to stop those efforts. In doing so, it says Johnston is walking back his comments this week made to Denverite about sending Denver police officers to the county line to stop federal forces from coming in. More than us having a Denver public, the Denver Police Department stationed at the county line to keep them out. You would have 50,000 Denverites there, Johnston told Denverite. It’s like the Tiananmen Square moment with the rose and the gun, right? You have every one of those Highland moms who come out for the migrants, and you do not want to mess with them. So that’s going to be super interesting to continue to watch this. Then over, let’s see, this is from KDVR TV. The headline is Council Member Warns Aurora Police Chief Staff That Operation Aurora Is Coming. And it says Aurora Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky spoke out in a November committee meeting to tell the police department, city council, and city staff that President-elect Donald Trump’s mass deportation plan is coming. She made those comments at a meeting of the Aurora City Council Public Safety Courts and Civil Service Committee on November 14th, which she chairs. The committee meets monthly and will not meet again until 2025. Two trend Aragua members tied to viral Aurora video. Oh, that was arrested in New York. That’s another little headline they had there. Also at the meeting was new Aurora Police Department Chief Todd Chamberlain, who was asked if the police agency needed support and more aid from surrounding agencies, such as the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office or the National Guard. He said that is not needed and would be demoralizing to move his staff. And so stay tuned on all this. This is super interesting. And then next thing, this is from Newsweek, and this is an excellent opinion piece by Darvio Moro. It says, where’s the pardon for thousands of black men locked up for what Hunter did? And it says in this highly controversial move this weekend, President Joe Biden did something that he repeatedly promised he would not do. He pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, who was found guilty of crimes relating to the illegal purchase of firearm and of a firearm and tax violations. Hunter has been given a full and unconditional pardon by his father. And explaining his rationale, President Biden essentially alleged that his son’s legal troubles were the result of a politically motivated witch hunt and that his Justice Department carried out a miscarriage of justice against his own son. The no one is above the law refrain that Biden and others used against President-elect Donald Trump when he had his legal problems evaporated in the blink of an eye. And this goes on to say this pen a piece. It says, To be honest, I don’t care that the president pardoned his son. I never believed him when he said that he wouldn’t do it. And if I were in his position and Hunter was my son, I’d at least consider doing the same thing. He says, What I do care about, though, is the fact that President Biden was the author of the laws that locked up many black men for doing some of the same crimes that Hunter was just pardoned for. And as a senator, Biden was one of the authors of the law that his son violated the prohibition against drug addicts owning guns. And he has repeatedly bragged about his involvement in creating virtually every major city law of the 1980s and 1990s. His push to create a federal drug czar and went so far that even Ronald Reagan vetoed it. And so certainly laws should be impartial and they should be uniformly enforced. If they’re not going to be uniformly enforced, then we need to revisit whether or not they should be on the books. And so this is, I think, a very important point to make from this Newsweek piece. And the show comes to you because of our great sponsors. And one of those great sponsors is the Roger Mangan State Farm Insurance team. And they can help you.

We search for truth and clarity by looking at these issues through the lens of freedom versus force, force versus freedom. If something’s a good idea, you should not have to force people to do it. On the line with me is Rebecca Kelty, and she was running for House District 16 here in Colorado, and a very close race. She was up by seven votes, and so that triggered an automatic recount, and we want to know what happened with that recount. Rebecca Kelty, welcome to the show. Well, good morning, Kim. How are you? I am well. How about you?
SPEAKER 14 :
I’m a little stressed. I’m doing great, doing great, just waiting for the recount to get done. Hopefully, they’re saying by Wednesday, possibly Thursday, but by law, it has to be done by Friday.
SPEAKER 13 :
So we know at least by Friday, it’ll be over. Okay. And so you were up by seven votes. How many total votes have been cast in this particular election, Rebecca?
SPEAKER 14 :
In this election, I think right around 41,000-ish votes. I’m actually only up by six now. They found a vote in Gunnison.
SPEAKER 13 :
Okay, so you are up by six votes. So what’s the process of a recount? Do they just do the same thing over, or how does that work?
SPEAKER 14 :
It’s a process, let me tell you. And, you know, Steve Schleicher’s got it down kind of to a science at this point. What they have to do is they cannot count just HD16 by pulling the ballots out one by one. Nothing is organized by district, it’s by county. And so, you know, you’re also taking the human factor that someone might forget to pull one out or miss one in a box or something like that because they’re all in very locked, sealed boxes, 100 at a time in each box. So they have to do the entire county. So it’s over 380,000 ballots they have to rerun through the system again.
SPEAKER 13 :
Okay, so it’s not a hand count then. No, they do.
SPEAKER 14 :
Right. Jenna Griswold, the Secretary of State, put forth a law that said that whatever the original way of counting the ballots was done, that has to be done in a recount. So now we were hoping for a hand count, but unfortunately it’s done by machine right now. But they did do a test hand count where they pulled like maybe 1,000 ballots per And then they maybe it was a couple of thousand, but and then they hand counted those and they compared that to, you know, the system and put it through the system and that kind of stuff. But unfortunately, it is done by machine right now. If something changes, if it flips the election, Steve Schleicher, the clerk and recorder, he actually said that they would then do a hand count after that.
SPEAKER 13 :
Oh, interesting. Okay. Yeah, hopefully. Well, yeah. 41,000 votes, and you’re up by six votes. When people think that it doesn’t matter whether or not they vote, it matters, doesn’t it, Rebecca?
SPEAKER 14 :
Oh, every bullet matters. And when it comes to curing, curing matters. Curing is where someone forgot their signature on the back of the envelope or it couldn’t be read by the digital reader. That matters as well. So if people are like, oh, I don’t want to cure, please do because everything matters when it comes. And if anything, my race will prove that.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, and did you have a big team that helped cure ballots once the election was through? And I think that helped Gabe Evans with his congressional seat as well, people going to work to try to cure ballots. And there’s a certain time frame that that can be done in order for those ballots to be counted, correct?
SPEAKER 14 :
Correct. Yeah, I believe it’s 10 days. Yeah, no, my team is amazing. We call it the Kelsey team. But I had people coming out of the woodwork, just, you know, how can we help? What can we do? You know, from not just in HC-16, not just in El Paso County, but across the state. I mean, everyone wanted to help. And they realized how important this race was to the state of Colorado. So that way there wasn’t – we took away the supermajority. So with our three races, the three Republicans that were elected in that House, we stop the supermajority.
SPEAKER 13 :
And that is really important. And your opponent is extremely radical, just really extreme, I would say, yes?
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah, but she’s actually noted as being the most extreme in the House currently.
SPEAKER 13 :
So this is a really, really big deal. House District 16, what area does that entail, Rebecca Kelty?
SPEAKER 14 :
So my district goes from – they redistricted it, so they redrew the lines after the census. But it goes – currently it goes from Dublin down to just a little bit south of Platt. It goes from I-25 over to North Academy. And then at the very bottom down towards Platt, it goes over to Powers just a little bit. It’s a really strange-looking L shape. But, yeah. So it’s basically – Yeah, it’s North End, Old North End. Yeah.
SPEAKER 13 :
Of Colorado Springs, right? Correct. Yeah. It’s kind of the heart of Colorado Springs. So, Rebecca, we always think of Colorado Springs as more conservative. How is it that your opponent was elected in such a conservative or what we consider a conservative part of the state?
SPEAKER 14 :
You know, a lot of people, I’m sorry, Kim, a lot of people have asked that. And when they redrew the lines. They made sure I ran into an individual at a coffee shop who was excited after seeing my maps on the table. And he actually was like, I, you know, I’m the one who helped redraw the lines for that. And, you know, we made sure it was more blue, that it was more equal. And, you know, and I’m like, that’s not you’re supposed to go off the population. You’re not supposed to. You make sure something’s more this or that. It goes off the population. So I think there’s a combination of a lot of things that went on with that. But I think it was as soon as they redrew those lines, we went from a Republican and consistent Republican district to a blue district, to a Democrat district, that same right afterwards.
SPEAKER 13 :
There is so much strategy involved in what is happening in Colorado with the Democrats. We’re going to talk with Brandon Wark here in the next segment about Democrats running Democrats, then after they win the election, having them resign and then appoint somebody to those seats. And there’s so much strategy that’s going on with the Democrats. And it seems like… it seems like the the republicans instead of unifying and thinking about strategy it seems like many times it seems like we’re fighting each other as far as republicans and conservatives and we need to figure out a way to unite and i think we can and reclaim this state because i do not believe that that most of the people in colorado want this radical activist agenda that we see down at the state house right now rebecca
SPEAKER 14 :
They don’t. And you don’t. And you’ve seen that in the shift from people being part of a party to becoming unaffiliated. That’s, you know, that’s kind of the proof in the pudding right there that, you know, people are tired of it. As far as Republicans, we do eat our own and, you know, we’ve we’ve been asleep at the wheel. And we’ve got to wake up and we’ve got to start working hard. You know, people see the election as the end of what’s going on. No, no, no. It’s the beginning. And we slept too long. We need to wake up. We need to get activated. And you are right. We are divided. And we need to find those who are trying to divide our party. And we need to go around them. You know, I mean, we need to we must unite our Republican Party in Colorado or we will never have a. Positive Republican Party in Colorado. We must. That’s it. There’s no other option. So suck up your feelings and let’s get working.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, that is so important. And words matter so much. And the word conservative has been really demonized. And I think we need to reclaim the word conservative. Of course, everyone thinks it’s good to conserve words. resources and conserved. And so the word conserve is a positive word there. But when you hear the word conservative in the political realm, it’s been demonized. We need to reclaim it. And what I realize that conservative means is to conserve and preserve these foundational principles of America, of a limited government, which means individual freedom and And, and, and these rights from God of life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, and that we’re all created equal. That is what I think conservative means. And when I think when we explain it like that, I think that we will be able to, again, start to change hearts and minds. and Reclaim Colorado. Colorado is the test case for all the radical activist stuff that’s going on. And it’s, I think, the test case for a whole bunch of things. But I’m excited, Rebecca, that we’ve got great opportunity here and certainly keep us informed about what’s happening with this race. And it’s rather exciting. I’m sure it’s stressful, but it’s rather exciting.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yay. I’d rather get to work. I just want to get to work. It is stressful, and it’s a confidence. So I’m confident that things are going to change. It never has. You know, recounts never really changed an election in Colorado. So I consider this kind of the litmus test of the integrity of our elections in Colorado right now. So it is interesting.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, it is really, really interesting. Is there anything that people can do to help you right now, Rebecca Kelty?
SPEAKER 14 :
I’ll say prayer every single day. Prayer, prayer, prayer. And what they can do to help me is really what they can do to help themselves in Colorado, and it’s to get active. Get active right now and do not stop. We have another election in two years, and believe me, that’s too soon.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, and I was talking with someone yesterday, and we both agreed that we basically have 18 months here to just work our tails off to reclaim Colorado, and we’ve got so much work to do. And I think people feel overwhelmed, and so when we say get involved… I would say choose whatever it is that keeps you up at night. If it’s education, then get involved in learning what the curriculum is and engaged with school board members and your teachers. But whatever it is, choose one thing because people are busy. And they’re trying to take care of their families and work and all that. But we all have a civic duty to choose at least one thing, Rebecca Kelty. And I thank you for stepping forward and running here. And certainly I will add you into my prayer list as well.
SPEAKER 14 :
Thank you, Kim. And thank you for everything that you do. I appreciate you.
SPEAKER 13 :
Right back at you. So we will say our prayers and we’ll talk with you very soon, Rebecca Kelty. Thank you so much. Thanks, Kim. Have a great day. You too.

SPEAKER 06 :
Thank you, Kim. Good morning.
SPEAKER 13 :
Good morning. And Brandon, I wanted to chat with you first about Democrat strategy. There seems to be a lot of strategy regarding Democrats running candidates, having them win their race, and then the winner resigns. um from their office and the democrats appoint somebody to that and that’s happened at least twice already with senator chris hansen and then also with janet buckner so this is a strategy that in essence is we have a lot of people down at the state house that were not elected by the people right
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, exactly, Kim. And, you know, it’s so unfortunate. It’s so dishonest. And so many of these Democrat legislators talk about how important democracy is, you know, the voice of the people, getting the people to participate in these elections. And then these politicians like Chris Hansen, I mean, he knew he had to have known he was going to resign immediately after winning, but nonetheless went out, campaigned, got 75,000 people to vote for him. Announces his resignation within a week of winning this landslide victory. And it’s so unfortunate because we’ve seen some of the most extreme far left socialist actually card carrying members of the Democratic Socialists of America. gain access to our state legislature through this vacancy process. It is something that is ripe for reform. I think there’s a lot of people who are tired of this, and we’ve seen nearly a quarter of the 100 legislators serving down at our state capitol who’ve been appointed, not elected by the people.
SPEAKER 13 :
And who decides who gets, you know, is appointed to these seats then?
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, there’s a vacancy committee. So if anybody – I’m sure several of your listeners here have been involved at party politics on the most local level, some of your precinct captains, district captains, people who show up to those county conventions and never miss one. They’ll be very familiar with the vacancy committees. There’s one for each of the different districts, whether it’s state house, state senate, congressional, etc. The list goes on. But it’s really that party, that party. So if the Democrats control the seat, as in these two cases, then there’s a vacancy committee for that specific district, that specific house seat or senate seat, excuse me. where those party insiders will make those decisions. So, for example, we have Lorena Garcia, who is a card-carrying socialist down there. She got appointed with 23 votes. Twenty-three votes of party insiders decided to put her in that position after the previous representative resigned. Stephen Woodrow, who fled Twitter this year after calling Trump the devil and saying sympathy for the devil after the horrific assassination attempt back in July, he was appointed with 45 votes. We got Andrew Boesnecker up in Fort Collins, 43 votes. Kyle Brown in Longmont, 41 votes. Mandy Rutanel, 23 votes, one of these extreme environmental types. So it’s so unfortunate that these party insiders decide who to pick. And, you know, often they’re going to pick the people who are more extreme because that’s just the reality of who’s involved at that local level, right? Who are the people showing up to these meetings? vacancy committee meetings, who are the people who are showing up every day. It’s the true believers, the ones that have maybe a little bit stronger beliefs than your rank-and-file voter.
SPEAKER 13 :
Okay, so Senator Hansen resigned and Senator Buckner resigned. Have their replacements been chosen?
SPEAKER 06 :
No, from what I understand, Senator Hanson, even though he announced it, he announced his resignation a week after the election. And then Senator Buckner just recently announced as well. They’re going to vacate their Senate seats on January 9th, 2025. So the day after they’re sworn into the state legislature. So they do that to secure their party control over that seat. And then those party insiders, I’m sure there’s already efforts going on at that local level to make some deals to pick who they’re going to put in those positions. We’ve heard some scary names of other Democratic socialists who are interested in those positions. So we’ll keep an eye out and see. But nonetheless, there should be some public outcry. I think there’s plenty of attention on this subject. And I’m hoping that one of our state legislators will introduce a bill this year to reform the process.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, it sounds like it really needs to be reformed. What I find so interesting, though, when one talks about reform, perhaps having another election for that particular seat, then all of a sudden you have clerks, the Secretary of State, say, oh, that would be so expensive to do that. But yet, Brandon, as I’ve looked at this mail-in ballot situation here in Colorado, and we have a lawsuit that is – in play right now regarding that our voter rolls are not clean and that we are sending mail-in ballots to people that have moved from Colorado or moved to a different county. And nobody seems to be talking about the great significant expense regarding sending all these mail-in ballots out. But then when we talk about reform regarding these vacancy committees, then all of a sudden we see PBIs, politicians, bureaucrats, and interested parties concerned about the cost.
SPEAKER 06 :
That’s so true, Kim. It’s so unfortunate that, of course, it’s a self-serving agenda. They don’t want the extra work for no extra pay, so an extra election for them is not what they want. But we’re talking about people who are making our laws, people who are representing the people. If there’s a cost for doing that, then of all the other things that government spends money on, then surely that should be a priority. And you’re 100% right, too. I mean, cleaning up the voter rolls, trying to reduce costs, streamline our election process. That would be a huge cost savings. But it’s very interesting to see the resistance to that from so many people.
SPEAKER 13 :
Absolutely. So I think we pretty well have covered this strategy. There was another strategy that I have seen with Democrats, and that is helicoptering people in to Colorado to run for office. And I’ve seen that several different times that they’ll come in and they may end up, first of all, getting a very cushy job with a nonprofit or a left leading organization. And then they may run for office. There’s there’s a strategy not only in Colorado that they do that. But I think that we’re at the tip of the spear on that. Have you noticed that at all?
SPEAKER 06 :
I would have to agree completely. I mean, we’ve seen a lot of these politicians just pop up out of nowhere, it seems. You know, whether we’re talking about city council mayors, some of these state legislators, people with no background in Colorado coming in, you know, establishing themselves. And then all of a sudden they’re insiders. All of a sudden they have all the connections. They have all of the money. They’re plugged into all of these nonprofits and NGOs and other organizations that are out there doing the electioneering for them. And it’s just a turnkey campaign. And it just goes to show how organized the Democratic establishment is here in Colorado. And I truly believe that’s why they win. It’s because they have that organization. They can do those types of things. They have a political class that works full-time all year round. They don’t shut down their offices when the election’s over. They keep working. They keep recruiting people. They keep working on this plan. And sometimes it takes decades to fulfill their plan, but that’s why they’re successful. And, you know, I just got a comment, too. I was listening to the previous segment with Rebecca Kelty. I’m very excited about that race, of course. But we do have an amazing opportunity here in 2025. I mean, if you look at Colorado’s top largest 12 cities, there’s over 40 city council seats up for election next year. And so few people pay attention to these off-year elections. In 2025, if people got involved at that local level, ran for city council, there’s six city council seats up in Colorado Springs, five in Aurora, three in Fort Collins, five in Lakewood, four in Thornton, the list goes on and on. So people in their local communities should get involved. that bench. You know, if you want to run for state legislator later on, if you want to run for a higher office, start at that city council. Understand your community. Build those connections. Find volunteers. Build the infrastructure that you can take to higher office. But we can’t sleep on next year’s elections here in 2025 because that’s where so much of the future is going to start.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, and you bring up such an interesting point, and that is so many people are excited about Trump winning the presidency. But as you mentioned, the Democrat strategy, and this Democrat strategy is really moving us towards communism. These radical activists that are very patient and patiently moving us towards communism, they realize that there are many – city council, county commissioner, state representatives and senators that they’re in control there in a lot of these jurisdictions. And there’s many well-meaning people. For example, my experience at city council, there’s many well-meaning people and there’s well-meaning staff. But yet there’s this underlying, movement to more and more government control, higher and higher taxes. And we see those that are conservatives and even libertarians sometimes can be influenced by staff, which is moving us towards this overreaching government at the local level. So Trump can do a lot of things at the federal level, but if at your local level they’re moving towards more and more government control, they will be thwarting many of the things that he’s going to be trying to do, Brandon.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, completely right, Kim. If we don’t get involved at the local level, then we’re going to lose. I think, like you said, Trump and his administration are going to do what they can at the federal level, but they’re not going to really do much at the local level, unfortunately. That’s just kind of how it works. So people need to show up, get involved, learn who your city council, your mayor is. Because like you said, the plan is communism. Whether they call it that or not, the results, the outcome is the same. And so often, as you said, these well-meaning people get elected to city council, to mayor, to these local levels, and they’re just totally hoodwinked by city staff. You know, city staff comes in, the town manager, we need a tax increase. We need to create a new bureaucracy. We need to create a new department. We need to hire these new employees. We need to build this up. And city councilors, it’s a part-time position. They oftentimes have lives outside of government. So, you know, they take, unfortunately, they take some of these bureaucrats at their word. and approve, hey, yeah, let’s go ahead and pass this tax increase on to the voters and ask them to give up more of their money. And it really takes an involved citizenry at that local level to make a difference. And really, that’s where we can win. That’s where we can have a huge impact. And I know it’s not glamorous. It’s a lot of work, you know, showing up on a Tuesday night or a Monday night to your city council meeting. You might be the only one there who’s not there for a specific purpose, but just to watch, just to learn, just to get to meet your city councilor, see how the process works, become an informed citizen, and then you can start doing something about it. But if you don’t have that information, if you don’t know how it works, then you’re not able to be as effective as you otherwise could be.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, and Brandon, I thought about it a lot over this last week, and I think that we need to come up with, I’m naming it Doge Colorado, but it could be Doge Lone Tree or it could be Doge Fort Collins, where we as the citizens start to become involved and understand, as you say, what’s going on and start to work together. to get rid of a lot of this extra government that we have at the local level. And I think one of the first things that we need to really push towards is to stop federal grants coming to local and county governments and even state governments. If we would start to reduce that money coming in, I think that could make a big difference, Brandon.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, definitely, Kim. And I love this idea of this Doge or this Department of Government Efficiency at that local level. Because so often, you know, I’ve talked to city council members and other elected people, and they say, well, tell me where to cut. You want to eliminate the food tax? Tell me where we’re going to make that cut. And unless you have that information, it’s really hard to make the case. So if we had an informed citizenry who can look at the budget, who can look at where the government waste is, where they can streamline things, and then present actual solutions to our local governments, we can be much more effective. I completely agree with that. But it takes a lot of time. It takes a lot of work. But I think that could be an effective way where you could present this to people. to the city government, to the city council and say, hey, here’s the plan. Here’s the plan. Here’s how you can reduce costs. Here’s how you can streamline operations. Here’s how you can save us money as the citizens of this community and, you know, make it easy for them, right? I think that’s a great idea because on one side we have that bureaucracy of the city government telling them one thing, and we need that organized, educated community. citizenry on the other side, presenting the other side of the story. I think that’s so right. And yeah, federal grants, I mean, we see this here in the state as well, where state government gives so much money to local communities, but they’re strings attached. And they say, okay, we’re going to give you a portion of the highway fund or the gas tax, or we’re going to give you some of this money, Mr. City Council or mayor in your community, but you have to build high-density transit corridors. You have to start building these 15-minute cities. You have to start accepting all this affordable housing mandates. You have to totally redesign your community to our liking if you want this grant money or tax money. And that’s really how so much of this control happens from the top to the bottom, whether it’s the federal government or the state government trying to socially engineer, politically engineer our local community.
SPEAKER 13 :
Absolutely. Absolutely. So, yes, we need to go to work on that. We’re going to continue this discussion with Brandon Wark. And be sure and check out his website. It is freestatecolorado.com. We have these discussions because of our sponsors. And one of those is John Boson with Boson Law.

We’re an independent voice and we search for truth and clarity by looking at these issues through the lens of freedom versus force, force versus freedom. If something’s a good idea, you should not have to force people to do it. And the Center for American Values is located in Pueblo, Colorado. And it’s on the beautiful River Walk. And I really have come to love Pueblo, as I’ve gotten to know so many of the people there. But the center does a couple of things. They honor our Medal of Honor recipients with their beautiful portraits of valor. And also they are putting together amazing educational programs to kind of reclaim these values of America of honor, integrity, and patriotism. So for more information, you can go to AmericanValuesCenter.org. And would highly recommend that you do that. On the line with me is Brandon Wark. He is the founder of Free State Colorado. It’s really an amazing site. Amazing amount of information that you are getting out here, Brandon Wark.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, thank you, Kim. I appreciate that.
SPEAKER 13 :
And it’s freestatecolorado.com. You’ve got an article here titled, Did the Colorado Springs Mayor Lie to the FBI? And it’s pretty amazing. Apparently, the mayor, Yemi Mobilades, had a hate crime that occurred shortly before a runoff election. And now it looks like it maybe might kind of be like a Jussie Smollett kind of a thing. So tell us about this.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, Kim, it’s one of the most interesting stories in politics right now here in Colorado. And unfortunately, not a lot of people are talking about it. But yeah, I encourage people. It’s the top story there at freestatecolorado.com. There’s a little video where I go into the details and explain it that I put out yesterday. But it’s absolutely interesting information. There was a staged hate crime, so a hate crime hoax that occurred on April 23rd, 2023, just weeks before the runoff election between Yemi Mobilade and Wayne Williams for mayor of Colorado Springs, Colorado’s second largest city. So they wrote a racial slur on one of his yard signs, a big sign at a busy intersection, lit a cross on fire. I mean, it’s bad stuff. Turns out it was three of Yemi Movilade’s supporters. According to the Department of Justice, these people were just indicted last month, this November, were indicted for this hate crime hoax. Now, the big question that remains is, what did Yemi know? Did the mayor of Colorado Springs know that this was a hoax? There’s… some information that might suggest that. I encourage people to actually read the indictment from the Department of Justice. I have links on my website, but there are known conversations. I mean, the lead perpetrator, this Mr. Bernard, he spent five minutes on the phone with the mayor-elect back then on April 26, 2023. So just three days later, there’s emails, there’s text messages, there’s Facebook messages. So the big question is, did Yemi know that this was a hoax from the beginning? Maybe. It’s hard to say exactly. We don’t know the details. But what came out just recently was this Daily Wire article in which an unnamed FBI official talked to their investigative reporter saying that they referred, that the FBI referred Yemi Modalade to get charged, to get charged by the Department of Justice for lying to the FBI for making false statements related to this hate crime hoax. But the Department of Justice refused to pursue it for racial and political reasons. That’s what the FBI official is alleging on this Daily Wire article. It’s very interesting stuff. I definitely encourage people to check out the video, read the details. The indictment really shows how these people perpetrated this hoax, how sloppy it was, how dumb it was, really. I mean, it’s such a bad thing for them to do, but it really kind of shows some funny business down in Colorado Springs that people need to start paying attention to. Talk about the local level. I mean, this is it right here.
SPEAKER 13 :
This is it right here. And speaking of mayors, when I was on city council, I learned there’s all these different associations. And I think in theory, it’s probably a good idea. For example, the Metro Mayors Caucus, it probably seems like a good idea that mayors would come together and kick the tires on ideas and talk about what’s happening in their communities. But what I have found is that many times it is a movement to try to influence mayors towards a certain idea. For example, when I was on city council, there was this movement regarding the Southeast Light Rail Extension. And so the Metro Mayors Caucus was involved in pushing some of these things forward. And We need to remind these different electeds that they are representatives of the people, but what happens is they come into these different associations, and that is the way that I see that a lot of this… Oh, this globalist agenda is being pushed forward through light rail and apartment buildings instead of homes that people can own. And so that’s why these mayor positions are super important. And that is why I think that you see those going to great lengths to try to win these particular local races, Brandon.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, no, that’s a great point, Kim. Well, everybody’s focused on what’s happening at the federal level or even at the state level. A lot of this stuff sneaks through at the local level. You might not know it, and all of a sudden you have a homeless recovery center or something like that just down the street from you. And then all of a sudden you have mass transit, and all of a sudden you’re wondering why there’s this big increase in crime and homelessness and these other things or congestion. pollution, all these things that you don’t want in your community. And all of a sudden it pops up because it sneaks through because we don’t have a media really that focuses on that local level. We don’t have that educated, organized, informed citizenry who is getting involved on that local level. And I think there’s some, like you said earlier, there’s earlier today, there’s so much more, there’s so much opportunity right now. With social media, with the Internet, with radio like your show and podcasts and so much else out there, we have the ability to organize, to be informed, to get information out there at a level that citizens have never had before in this country. We can create something great. We can really restore liberty. I’m hopeful of that, but it’s only if people are willing to put in the work, get involved, get organized, and stick with it and not give up after an election cycle.
SPEAKER 13 :
Absolutely. So many times after an election cycle, people just go back to wanting to take care of their families and work. And life is busy, that’s for sure. But the radical activists, it seems like they never sleep. I thought that I was going to wait until after Thanksgiving to really get going on things, but we’ve already started. We sent a letter to all of the county clerks requesting that they delay certification, which was slated for November 27th for the election. I think most of them certified, but we did send that letter, and that was in light of the bios password security breach and those fraudulent ballots over in Mesa County. So we went to work immediately, and I know you’re working – as well. I would really recommend people check out freestatecolorado.com. Your final thought, we’ve got about 20 seconds.
SPEAKER 06 :
You know, just get involved. Free State Colorado has a lot of big plans coming up for 2025. Whether it’s a state legislature, I’m going to be hosting a legislative live stream every week, letting people know how they can get involved, how they can have a voice down at our state capitol, show up to committee hearings, and then also with these municipal elections. So those are two of the big focuses going into 2025. So people get involved, get organized, sign up for my email list, and find me on social media, Free State Colorado. Sign up on the website, and yeah, let’s see what we can do.
SPEAKER 13 :
Okay, I’m with you. So thank you so much, Brandon Wark.
SPEAKER 06 :
Thank you, Kim. Take care.
SPEAKER 13 :
And our quote for the end of the show is from Marcus Aurelius. It says, there is but one thing of real value to cultivate truth and justice and to live without anger in the midst of lying and unjust men.

My friends, you are not alone. God bless you. God bless America. And stay tuned for our number two.
SPEAKER 10 :
It’s the Kim Munson Show, analyzing the most important stories.
SPEAKER 13 :
That seems to me like government is establishing a religion.
SPEAKER 10 :
The latest in politics and world affairs.
SPEAKER 13 :
If you give people rights, women’s rights, gay rights, whatever, there can’t be equal rights if there are special rights.
SPEAKER 10 :
Today’s current opinions and ideas.
SPEAKER 13 :
Surveys show that people still really prefer freedom over government force.
SPEAKER 10 :
Is it freedom or is it force? Let’s have a conversation.
SPEAKER 13 :
Indeed, let’s have a conversation and welcome to the Kim Munson Show, our number two. Thank you so much for joining us. You’re each treasured, you’re valued, you have purpose. Today’s drive for excellence. Take care of your heart, your soul, your mind and your body. My friends, we were made for this moment in history. Thank you to the team. That’s producer Joe, Luke, Rachel, Zach, Echo, Charlie, Teresa, and all the people here at Crawford Broadcasting. Happy Tuesday, producer Joe. Happy Tuesday, Kim. And a great show planned for you this hour as well. We’ll talk with Susan Kochevar. She’ll share her perspective. She’s so well-read. She’s an entrepreneur. She’s the owner of 88 Drive-In Theater. And she’ll be sharing her perspective on what’s happening in our country right now. So you won’t want to miss that. And check out our website. That is Kim Munson, M-O-N-S-O-N dot com. Sign up for our weekly email newsletter. You’ll get first look at all of our upcoming guests as well as our most recent essays. You can email me at Kim at Kim Munson dot com. And our text line is 720-605-0647. I appreciate all of you supporting us. And the show comes to you on all of the KLZ platforms. We’re live 6 to 8 a.m. The first hour is rebroadcast 1 to 2 in the afternoon, the second hour 10 to 11 at night. And those platforms are KLZ 560 AM, KLZ 100.7 FM, the KLZ website, and the KLZ app. And then the next day we post our summaries of the show, which has the podcast in that. And then once that happens, those podcasts can be heard on the streaming services such as iTunes and Spotify. We do look at these issues through this lens of freedom versus force, force versus freedom. We’re searching for truth and clarity. And ultimately, socialism comes down to force. The free stuff is just to get you to vote for it. But it’s difficult to vote yourself back out of socialism. And so the key is to protect our freedom and not get get there. And Colorado is at the tip of the spear regarding this. When we talked with Brandon Wark in hour number two, he said that there are a number of card-carrying Democrat socialists down at the Colorado Statehouse. And that’s why these races are so important. And that’s why this recount for Rebecca Kelty, who we talked with in the first hour, is so important as well. And I have many amazing sponsors. And one of those is Hooters Restaurants. And it’s an interesting story how I got to know them. And it was a story on when I was on city council. And it’s a story about freedom and free markets and capitalism. And then PBIs, politicians, bureaucrats and interested parties wanting to use different approvals and different things. for different businesses not treating businesses equally and so got to know the owners of fooders restaurants and they’ve been a great sponsor for all these years that story is at my website but they have five locations loveland aurora lone tree westminster and colorado springs and they’ve got great lunch and happy hour specials and you can check all of that out so again really do appreciate them for that our word of the day is hardyhood and it is spelled h-a-r-d-i-h-o-o-d and it is a noun and it could mean boldness or daring uh boldness united with firmness and constancy constancy of mind bravery and trepidity and um We need to move forth with hardyhood as we are engaging in this battle of ideas here in America and in Colorado. So that’s my try at using hardyhood in a sentence. And your challenge is to use that in a sentence today. And again, it’s spelled H-A-R-D-I-H-O-O-D. Our quote of the day is from Marcus Aurelius, and he said this, and he was born in 121, died in 180, and he was a Roman emperor and a stoic philosopher, and he was the last of the rulers later known as the five good emperors. And he said this, when you rise in the morning, think about what a precious privilege it is to be alive, to breathe, to think, to enjoy, and to love. And my father, dadism, my father passed away or passed on one year ago this last Sunday. And he always said, you know, make the most of each and every day. And, you know, it’s really good advice. That is for sure. And thank you to LearnMe Energy for their goal sponsorship of the show. It’s because of all these great sponsors that we are able to be on the air. We are an independent voice. What that means is I purchase my airtime, so I have total choices and control over guest selection, subject selection, and I do appreciate all of the suggestions that you all come up with as well. on Word of the Day and guests, and so I do appreciate that immensely. We talked about it in the first hour regarding, and this was coming in on the text line, and regarding bringing the conservative movement, the Republican Party, together in Colorado. And that is something that we really need to unite around these principles that all men are created equal with these rights from God of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. And we need to work on our messaging and realize that we want individuals to have more freedom. and to be able to live their lives, so smaller government. And so we’re going to be starting our, I’m calling it Doge Colorado, and that would be to start to shrink government at the state and county and local levels in Colorado. So this is In the making, I have a feeling Brandon Warkinall, I will be talking about how to make this happen. And again, he’s the founder of Free State Colorado. And I mentioned all of these great sponsors that I have. I know each and every one of them personally and highly recommend them. I know that they strive for excellence as they’re working with their clients and producing their products. And one of those great sponsors is John Bosen with Bosen Law. John, welcome to the show.
SPEAKER 12 :
Good morning, Kim. Less government. What a concept, huh?
SPEAKER 13 :
Wouldn’t that – we’re going to work on it. And I think we have an opportunity right now. And we’ve got to go to work on this at the local, county, and state level. And I think, John, one of the first things that we need to go to work on is to – prevent and encourage our local governments to not be so dependent on federal grants. And so we need to stop this federal grant program. I think that would move us towards a balanced budget on the federal level, and I think it would start to shrink these local county and state governments as well, John.
SPEAKER 12 :
Agreed. It’s a good place to start. Hopefully, we’ve got a couple guys up at the federal level that will be doing just that here real soon.
SPEAKER 13 :
We’re in a historical time, John Boson, but we’re also in the holiday season. Advent started this last Sunday, and Advent is the four Sundays before Easter at Christmas, and I can’t believe that we’re so close to Christmas. But people will be getting together with friends, going to parties. How should people try to stay safe this holiday season?
SPEAKER 12 :
Oh, common sense, Kim. The problem with common sense is you have a little bit too much to drink. You get a little bit too much into the spirit. I hate saying too much into the spirit, but it’s common sense. It’s paying attention to things, slowing down a little bit. And it’s not just motor vehicle collisions. Of course, you want to stay focused, not let the holiday season in any respect distract you while you’re doing what you should be doing behind the wheel. It’s coming out of a restaurant. Had a good time with a bunch of friends. This is winter. There’s going to be places where the ice and the snow is not removed, not cleared. People just got to keep their eyes open, pay attention. At the malls, same thing. And it’s where you park and paying attention to what’s around you. I tell my kids, keep your head on a swivel. They know what that means. That means look around, pay attention. This is that time of year when criminals take advantage of people that are distracted. So you just got to always just know what’s around you. If something doesn’t feel right, trust your gut. Avoid situations, if at all possible. And I could go on and on and on about, you know, don’t leave packages in your car. You’re inviting folks to break in, and it doesn’t stop. But common sense. And sometimes you’ve got to tell people what common sense is.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, and common sense is a bit uncommon, it seems like, these days. But I saw a report come across out here in Douglas County. There was a carjacking. And is there any tips on how to prevent a carjacking?
SPEAKER 12 :
Well, the key is keep your doors locked at all times. When you pull up to a stop sign, a stoplight, If your doors aren’t locked, it’s real easy for someone to come up and just open that door, and then you’re in big trouble or your family’s in big trouble. So that’s the basic. Again, when you pull up to a stoplight, a stop sign, know the area you’re in, pay attention. Someone starts coming up to the vehicle very quickly. You can start honking your horn and flashing your lights. Carjackers, thieves, they don’t like attention drawn to them. So anything you can do to draw attention to the situation, they’re probably going to turn around and they’re going to leave. But again, keep the doors locked. Most folks drive around and they get in the car. A lot of cars will self-lock at a certain speed when you hit that, but some of the older vehicles don’t have that. And it can also be disabled. So you want to make sure your doors are always locked. That’s the key for avoiding or trying to avoid a carjacking.
SPEAKER 13 :
Okay. And, John, you and I talk about it on a regular basis. If you are injured, certainly get to the hospital or the doctor. Make sure that you’re okay. But then the next thing that people should do is reach out to Boson Law for a complimentary consultation.
SPEAKER 12 :
Absolutely. And that number is 303. 999-9999. And good advice on the front end is huge. And time is of the essence. Talk to people all the time that kind of put it off, want to wait and see what happens. That’s a mistake. The advice I give is free. And it can make all the difference on the front end of what eventually develops into a claim.
SPEAKER 13 :
Okay. And again, that number for Boson Law is 303-999-9999. John Boson, have a great week. We’ll talk to you next week.
SPEAKER 12 :
Looking forward to it, Kim. You have a great week, too, and a great rest of your show.
SPEAKER 13 :

On the line with me is Susan Kochavar. You know her. She is an entrepreneur. She’s the owner of 88 Drive-In Theater and also a great sponsor of the show. And Susan Kochavar, I saw a notification that has come through that the 88 Drive-In Theater is now closed for the winter.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yes, ma’am. We are closed for the season, and we’ll be taking about a 16-week break for winter, and then we will open sometime in the spring for our 49th season.
SPEAKER 13 :
Oh, my gosh. That is so cool. That is really fantastic. Congratulations. You’ve got your ear to the ground on so many things that are going on. And with Trump being elected and the announcements just keep coming as far as he’s shaking things up in Washington. And so what’s your ear to the ground telling you? What do you think people should know?
SPEAKER 16 :
Well, I think it provided a lot of hope, and hope is probably one of the most powerful weapons against the communist Marxists that there is. That’s the thing they do not want, and I think it’s provided a lot of hope for people. You know, we can’t he can’t take office fast enough. We have 48 more days. In the meantime, the Biden administration is still busy sending money and weapons to Ukraine and trying to get out as much money as they can to states and local communities to implement their policies. I see what they call the Inflation Reduction Act, which just which is just really the Green New Deal. And so you’re going to see, you know, the local communities or the environmentalist type organizations pushing to build all kinds of green energy things. I know some of those are going on in Texas and I know they’re going in Colorado and some other places in Texas. They’re working on another 800 acre, 800 acres of solar energy and of a lithium battery storage facility, which will encompass about 40 acres. And, um, Those lithium battery storage facilities are extremely dangerous to communities. But they’re pushing to get all this stuff and this money spent in these local communities, and hopefully nothing will stop this project. So I’m hoping that those can start to get that money cut back right away. In the last segment when you were talking with Brandon’s work, he was saying you were talking about cutting grants and money to states and local communities, and that must happen because that is a way to control communities, and you always get people in the community that are like, well, you know, we can get money here, and those things always have nasty strings attached.
SPEAKER 1 :
Right.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, and what I saw when I was on city council is that a project, they would have many different, and I have this in air quotes, stakeholders or many different partnerships. And so you would have a project and you might have, for example, in Lone Tree, you might have Lone Tree put money in. Douglas County might put money in. You might have South Suburban put money in, Park Meadows Metropolitan District. And, of course, all these different things that I just named, they have electeds that are supposed to be representing us. But it makes it more difficult than when you have – it makes the funding more complicated, which makes it more difficult to kind of unwrap that. But we’ve got to, I think we have this opportunity right now, and I’m calling it Doge Colorado, or it’ll be Doge Lone Tree or Doge Fort Collins. And I think that we all need to come together. And I’m excited about it. I think it could make a big difference by shedding light on this and encouraging people to understand what’s going on and to take some action on this, Susan.
SPEAKER 16 :
I hope so. Unwrapping is a very good word. We are wrapped in so many ridiculous ideas now, and it’s very hard to get people to let go of them, that are really damaging our country and our communities. What I think will happen is as Trump starts to rip off the regulations and taxation and make no mistake, he must do this because we, our country, is broke. We are headed for a very severe depression if we don’t whip up our economic engine again. And that involves getting all of the small businesses, not just the big ones, but the small ones, stable again and let them keep their own money and be able to have the bandwidth to innovate. You know, when you get all those regulations clamped down on people, you have to ask permission for everything and you can’t get anything done. And letting people, getting people to let go of those regulations is very, very difficult. And that’s why I say unwrapping is a very good word. But my hope is that when Trump gets in and starts doing that once again, that people will start to let go of that stuff in their state and local communities. You know, we’re going to see that the tax policy will go from, will probably stay at 21% or go lower rather than jumping up to the 28% that was being touted by the democrats so those things alone help people survive the next thing that we’re going to have to watch is the salt taxes the state and local taxes because you know these these states and these local governments are like oh well if the The federal taxes aren’t so heavy on all of these businesses. We can increase our taxes, and that’s the thing we’re going to have to watch. I already see where John Caldera, president of the Independence Institute, was saying that Boulder now is talking about raising their minimum wage to $25 an hour. That will sink so many businesses. But you see these people are not going to stop, and they’re looking at that, I’m sure, and making plans.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, this $25 minimum wage, this is not the proper role of government whatsoever. It should be a contract between an employer and employee. An employer says, I can offer X, and the potential employee says, well, I would like to work for that, that particular employee. agreement. And then employees that work hard and go the extra mile, they are going to get raises. They’re going to move up the ladder. But this minimum wage, this forced minimum wage really will, as you say, it’ll put put people out of business. Employers will hire less people. And so many restaurants are having such a difficult time as it is with the family leave tax and all. This is going to put Boulder, it’s going to run a lot of businesses out of business. That’s what’s going to happen.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yes, that we’re seeing that in Denver as well. And we don’t want these local communities, any taxing body to start to say, oh, well, you know, since the federal government is reducing these things, we can increase ours. That’s something we’re going to have to, in local communities, be vigilant. And so I’m hoping that all of that pulling down the… The regulations federally and the taxes and watching things whip up, especially in the states with low taxes, will lead the way and help Colorado to make that turn also and start to push back on all of the nasty grip that the Marxists have on our state. It’s terrible. um the other thing that i think is exciting is that um i i know a lot i’m a free market girl and i know you are too a lot of other people a lot of our friends are and they’re very upset about the tariffs that trump is planning but um one of the things i think people miss is that we have people in congress who have businesses in foreign countries mitch mcconnell is a good example his wife is part of a shipping magnet family and he has businesses there. So I think what has happened is many of these people in Congress have passed laws that make it more difficult for companies to employ people here. And that helps their businesses, doesn’t it? Because then they employ them. It’s because it’s a lot cheaper than in foreign countries to have your business. And so these tariffs will help level that playing field some. And so I think then businesses will… I see that it’s actually cheaper to bring their companies back to the United States, their production. And I think that will help all the local communities in Colorado as well.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, and connect this dot, though, that you just talked about. Boulder is increasing the cost of labor. And so then what happens is, is employers or manufacturers then are looking for a place that they can make their product that’s not as expensive. So we need to unshackle our manufacturing, our employers here, and a $25 minimum wage, forced minimum wage, and again, that word force is there. just makes labor more expensive, which makes it more difficult to employ people and to manufacture things in the United States.
SPEAKER 16 :
It does. And, you know, one of the things I think we really don’t talk enough about, or maybe even I’m not really sure I’ve heard it mentioned, is to start to teach our young people how to negotiate for themselves. I think that instead of, you know, oh, woe is you and the government can help you, this is how you help yourself. This is how you negotiate with an employer. This is how you build skills. So if you don’t like this employer or this job, you can go somewhere else. I don’t think we do enough of teaching people how to stand up for themselves individually. And I think that would also help stop the government is here to help you idea, because that is one of the things that’s really important. has really been destroying us, and that I think is what Trump, at least federally, is going to help undo. But when we look at people for city councils and even our state legislatures, We need to start looking for people who come to it with a philosophy of limited government and limited taxes. And that means pulling back the regulations. People have got to let go of that. They are not keeping us safe. They are not helping us. You can’t make everything perfect. And I think if we could start to build a bench of people to run for these races that come from that philosophy, then making decisions when they get on city council will be a lot easier and they won’t be as influenced by racism. Because we know that there were groups that came out of the Kyoto Protocol all those years ago with something called ICLEI, which got into our city councils and stuff and started pushing policies. You know, they have this top-down, bottom-up. So right now, the Marxists aren’t going to be able to do their top-down as well because Trump is in the way. So they will start their bottom-up. So we are going to really have to pay attention locally. And you’re right. When you were talking about the last segment, the next two years are super important, especially for Colorado, so that we can get our election under control and run candidates that start from a limited government philosophy.
SPEAKER 13 :
And we have this amazing opportunity right now, and so you’re spot on, and we’re going to have to go to work on that. I’m talking with Susan Kochevar. She is the owner of 88 Drive-In Theater, and they’re closed for the winter now, but we’ll snap our fingers, and it’ll be springtime before we know it.

Susan Kochavar is on the line, and she is the entrepreneur. She’s the owner of 88 Drive-In Theater. And also, Susan, I so appreciate your sponsorship of the show as well. This is coming in from one of our listeners, three different texts. but I think he’s spot on. It says, good local government can start by redirecting all federal grants they receive into a rainy day fund and reject the strings attached. I like that. And then hopefully give that money back and start to do something about this deficit. Then he also said putting small businesses out of business is the goal. And the government wants everyone to work for the government. But then there’s nothing that’s being created. There’s nothing that’s being… If you don’t have anybody creating anything and you can’t tax it, how would government survive? So those are three good points. So what do you think, first of all, about this Rainy Day Fund?
SPEAKER 16 :
Well, I think we should stop sending money to the federal government, period. I think that the whole funding structure needs to be redone. If I’m not correct, I think our founders… intended for the federal government, of course, very small, but funded by tariffs. Did they not?
SPEAKER 13 :
I think that’s the case. And regarding tariffs, you and I, as you say, we’re both free market girls. And the last time when Trump was talking about tariffs, I’m like, wow, as a free market girl, I’m not sure that I like that idea. But What I learned, and it might have been from Helen Raleigh, who immigrated from China, was that it’s not a free market when you have a government subsidizing their industry in their country than to ship it over here to undercut our industries. I think that happened with the steel industry, and of course it was an inferior product as well. And so putting tariffs on something where you’ve got government subsidizing a product, because that’s not fair. That’s not free and fair trade. So I understand what Trump is trying to do. He also said that he was regarding the BRICS deal. currency that he was going to come down hard on any of that, I think with tariffs as well as them sending their products to the United States. So I think it’s one of the tools in his toolbox that he really needs to use.
SPEAKER 16 :
She does. And he has – there are some allies they’re forming. You know, I think we’ve talked before. I think that actually Russia is an ally of Trump. I don’t think that Putin wants China or the World Economic Forum to control his country or Ukraine because they had – they were doing all kinds of bad things in Ukraine, including – gain a function facilities which would endanger Russia so we have that it because because Putin has said some very interesting positive things about Trump also we have Javier Malay out of Argentina who has just taken his country by storm and their um inflation is down things are starting to boom there and he has come out and said that he is aligning with Trump So that’s a good thing. And I suspect that, um, I think it’s Nicolet Boulay from El Salvador. Their president is also going to join that group. And I think we’re having, um, uh, a new world order, if you will, uh, forming for, uh, free markets and limited government. And it’s going to be a very fascinating thing to watch because, um, Javier Millay is certainly limited government and seems to follow Ayn Rand’s philosophy. I’m really interested to see where all of that goes. There are some fantastic new possibilities in the next four years.
SPEAKER 13 :
I think that there really are, and this, in quote, new world order would be a world order where each country was sovereign in their own right, and that’s what it’s really supposed to be. So another thing this listener said, putting small businesses out of business is the goal. I think… I think that there may be those in elected office that don’t realize it, that these policies are trying to shut down small businesses. But there are those that do know that these policies will do that as well. And I do think that that is the goal. And that small businesses that has created this middle class in America where everyday people can work and create wealth for themselves and their families. And that’s what’s really under attack, I think, right now, Susan.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yes, I think that… the texture is 100% correct. They are after closing down small businesses, and you see them trying to go after the gig economy. So if somebody has an idea on the side and they want to start working on that so they can deform it into a whole business, or they like to just make some extra money on the side, say doing some marketing for someone or something else, they’re really trying to shut that down and control all of that. And I think that’s why they are going after the raw milk and egg industry as well because Not to mention our food, but I think that you get a lot of entrepreneurs in those areas too. the problem is these folks have some pretty crazy ideas that we cannot let continue. And I think a lot of Americans after COVID and certainly in Colorado, there’s, you know, the shortage of eggs and some other things. I think people are starting to see the impact of some of their ridiculous ideas and how much they could destroy our country very quickly. You know, they’re even starting to feed cows, something that prevents them from, eliminating gas, which is quite normal, and it’s something that’s not good for people to eat. So, you know, these people have to be stopped.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, they do. And speaking of eggs, over at Free State Colorado, which is Brandon Wark’s website, he has a headline there that we will be beginning in 2025 that we can only have cage-free eggs. eggs here in colorado and i had written a piece regarding this this legislation that we would have if you know a certain amount of space for chickens to lay their eggs they had to have a certain amount of space and again this is not the proper role of government it’s going to make eggs more expensive it’s going to make food more expensive. And of course, eggs has typically been a great protein source, which has typically been pretty affordable. And you have chickens. Somebody, when we were talking about these chickens and these cage-free chickens, is that the chickens like to get close to each other, right? So this mandate is a real problem.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, they do. They hang out together in groups. And if you don’t treat your chickens well, they will not lay eggs. Trust me, they will not lay eggs. So it’s in your best interest if you’re raising chickens to do that. And we talk about regulations. And one of the things we see in all the communities, almost every community now in the city, is that you cannot own chickens. And you’ll see that in all the HOAs. Now, chickens are very quiet unless you get a rooster. And so these are ways that, you know, I think come bottom up. These regulations go through all the communities. Oh, that sounds like a good regulation. We don’t know anything about chickens, but they’re probably dirty and noisy, so we don’t want them. And that really takes away people’s ability to care for themselves and have some food for themselves and actually stabilize the country. If everybody can grow a little food or you have some chickens in the backyard, I think one of the pushes we should work on in Colorado is to get all the communities to allow chickens in backyards because – They’re very quiet and you can at least
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, and you made an important point just a little bit ago is with Trump at the federal level, he can do so much there. But what’s going to happen is, is there probably will be this doubling down. You said at the bottom, you meaning at the local level. And that could even go to HOAs, as you mentioned. So we have an opportunity right now. We need to roll up our sleeves and we need to get involved in these local government’s So this came in from one of our listeners. It says, this is centralized planning that comes down from the office of sustainability that comes down from the UN. And this listener also said, definition of a Soviet. A Soviet is a system of councils that report to an apex council that implements a predetermined outcome, often by consensus, affecting a region or neighborhood, creating a government-controlled economy. And that is one of the things that I have seen on local governments is that they work towards consensus instead of working towards kicking the tires on the ideas. And consensus isn’t necessarily the best outcome. And then I’ve also seen, I remember I’d gone down to Dr. Cogg, the Denver Regional Council of Governments. and was shocked that they basically said, we’re going to come to a consensus here. And then basically what they said is, we’re not going to really talk about an opposite view of whatever this consensus is when we’re out in the public. And I’m paraphrasing the way I understood that. But that’s not the way it’s supposed to be here in America, Susan Kochavar.
SPEAKER 16 :
No. And I think Elon Musk has been talking about, you know, everything should be online and open. And he’s right about that. And that is a very wonderful definition. That is exactly what we see happening. You know, people are so, oh, you need to watch your government and be involved. There are so many boards and commissions. It is incredibly difficult. All these people, it’s weird that there are so many people who will sit on all these boards and commissions. And all these focus groups that these cities get together and come out with all this consensus stuff, you can hardly keep up. That’s why it all has to be cut back. I don’t care how good it sounds, you know, or how good their intentions were, bad things come out of that. And that stuff all has to be cut back. And, you know, when I talk to people, A lot of times they’ll say, oh, yeah, these regulations in this area need to be cut, but not in mine. My industry has licensure, and that’s really needed. No, no, it’s not. It’s not needed in any licensure. How many licenses did the hospitals and doctors have who injected people with something without even thinking? you know, with these vaccines that are injuring so many people and cause the death of so many, that those things do not protect you, the licensure. What protects you is, you know, doing your own research, talking to other people, you know, looking at someone’s reputation, the school they went to perhaps, those sort of things. But the licensures and regulations just keep people from working. They do not keep you safe.
SPEAKER 13 :
well and i think that we need to get rid of many of these boards and commissions because they can be influenced and then again i see this agenda there there may be a specific agenda and they’re they’re influenced with that then they go to the city council make a recommendation which gives the city council cover for maybe a really bad idea and i think that we really need to get rid of many of these boards and commissions Susan Kochavar is an entrepreneur and owner of 88 Drive-In Theater. I love what you started with, and that is hope. What’s your final thought that you’d like to leave with our listeners?
SPEAKER 16 :
Well, the last thing, you know, I… Well, hope helps tremendously. And, you know, watch what Trump does. We need to try to pull that down into our communities. And… and pull back the regulations and taxes and make sure that these communities don’t beef up their salt taxes, state and local taxes, because that will be the next thing that will start to happen. So let’s build a good, healthy bench of limited government people and start getting ready to get them into city councils and places where they will, and state legislature where they will cut back all that stuff.
SPEAKER 13 :
Oh, Susan, definitely. You’re so wise on all of these things. I greatly appreciate it. 88 Drive and Theater is closed for the winter. We’ll be for about four months, but it’s, I tell you, springtime. We’ll be here before we know it, Susan Kochemar. Yes, it will. Thank you so much. And very excited. I had Joel Glass on yesterday. He is the author of the book Swift Sword, which is an operation. I guess several. It was a two week operation in September of 1967 during the Vietnam War. And it’s a story about a number of Marines. I think it was 164 Marines. And it is an excellent book. I’d recommend that you check that out. But that’s why the work that they’re doing at the USMC Memorial Foundation is so important is to honor. these men and women that have been willing to put their lives on the line, and many have given their lives for us. And so check out the USMC Memorial Foundation. Make a contribution before the end of the year. And it is a 501c3, so make a contribution. And that website is usmcmemorialfoundation.org. And then I would certainly recommend that you add Swift Sword to your Freedom Library at home.
SPEAKER 05 :
Eyes peeled and moving quickly, Lance Corporal Jack Swan led 164 of his fellow U.S. Marines from Mike Company, 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines over the face of a bare, rocky knoll to rescue an isolated company of fellow Leathernecks besieged by the Communist North Vietnamese Army. Then, all hell broke loose. Instead of rescuing their fellow comrades, the Marines now faced complete annihilation. Author Doyle Glass tells their story in Swift Sword, a true Vietnam War story of epic courage and brotherhood in the face of insurmountable odds. Order Swift Sword by Doyle Glass now. They never gave up. We should never forget.

SPEAKER 15 :
Good morning, Colorado, and you gals rock. I love all the gals around you and the men, too, but, I mean, these gals rock. Now, let me get to it. I don’t have much time. I’m going to name some stuff, and I want you to guess what it all has in common, how it ties together. Every day in America, over 1,000 children are trafficked every day, okay? And you can check that out with Association for the Recovery of Children. You can check it out online. Secondly, today in Tennessee, there’s an amicus brief being heard by the Supreme Court of Tennessee to stop all medical, chemical, physical, everything trans people. procedures on anyone under the age of consent and adulthood. Let’s hope that goes through. I wrote a letter to all the health department, commissioner, city council, and the prime minister, Russell Broadbent in Australia, who was so upset about learning about the damage of the COVID, you know, jabs and everything. And so I wrote him with all the data I had, and I sent it to all our health boards to say, stop selling this garbage in the drugstores, giving it to kids in the schools and the pharmacies, you know, in the stores. Stop all this. Well, what does all of that have in common with an article that a sweet little lady named Erin Clements, who is brilliant, wrote for the Gateway Pundit on the collaboration, corruption of Mesa County officials, some of them clerks, past clerks, the DA, who also got hired by Dominion Machines at the same time they were doing the attacks on Tina Peters. And then the SOS to boot. All of them knew about the BIOS, you know, passwords. They knew that Tina wasn’t a criminal, but they set her up. And this woman, Erin Clements, Gateway Pundit, has exposed the crime that was done to Tina. And now it circles to you and me and every single person in America when they can keep through Dominion, through all these machines working. Keep cheating and stealing elections. They control us. And that’s the Marxist way of taking over everything, your children, your schools, who are now secretly with sicko psychiatrists. promoting agendas that confuse children about their agenda. God made the gender, not some sicko, pseudo psychiatrist shrink or psychologist or whatever. They’re all using everything to take charge of us. And if we don’t get involved and stop it on the absolute most basic local levels of We’re screwed. And I’ll send you to StolenElectionsFact.com by Gary Bernstein. These things are being done.
SPEAKER 13 :
So with that, Gammy, and she has an excellent point, and that is regarding our elections. And that is why what we’ve done with the Colorado 2024 Election Project is, is so important we raise the money we have two lawsuits right now the first is uh the legal team with united sovereign americans and um that is in the legal system right now going back and forth and that is is that colorado does not meet the minimum standards as set forth by congress uh for our elections and it’s a civil rights issue and so that and thank you to all of you we raised the money to hire that legal team thank you that is there that that Suit was filed the first part of September. The other lawsuit is with Peter Bernager with the Wisconsin Center for Election Justice, his legal team. And they’ve gone through and provided proof that our Colorado voter rolls are not clean. And so that lawsuit was filed right before the election that was filed on November 1st. We were one of four states that Peter was working in. He was in the battleground states of Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. And they added us in as well because of us raising the money. Again, thank you to all of you to make that happen. So the Colorado 2024 project is there, but it’s morphing into Reclaim Colorado 2025. And stay tuned. We are going to be raising money regarding this election in light of the BIOS password security breach and the fact that and acknowledged by the Secretary of State that fraudulent ballots were counted in Mesa County. We will be filing a lawsuit requesting a hand recount of the election and an audit. And the reason is we’ve got to get a handle on these elections here in Colorado. Then this next step after that will be to propose legislation to button up things that are legal with our elections here in Colorado, but they’re not right. And one of those things many of you may not be aware of, but this was just changed. It had been that 16-year-olds could pre-register to vote. in Colorado? Well, this last year, there was modifications on our elections. It was like 45 pages long. That’s a lot of modifications. One of those was that now 15-year-olds can pre-register to vote in Colorado. And so the minute they turn 18, that will generate a ballot that will go to the address that they gave when they registered unless they changed their address. How many 15-year-olds do you know are going to be doing that? And so again, these ballots are out there all over the state. And so we will be working on proposing legislation, informing you what is legal in Colorado about our elections, but what is not right. And so stay tuned. So that’s our morphing into our Reclaim Colorado 2025 project. And stay tuned. I’ll let you know what we’re going to be doing as far as those those next two steps, which are super important. And we’ve got to take action and we’ve got to take action now. And so our quote for the end of the show is from Marcus Aurelius. And he said this. He said, there is but one thing of real value to cultivate truth and justice and to live without anger in the midst of lying and unjust men. So today, be grateful, read great books, think good thoughts, listen to beautiful music, communicate and listen well, live honestly and authentically, strive for high ideals, and like Superman, stand for truth, justice, and the American way. My friends, you are not alone. God bless you. God bless America. We’ll talk to you tomorrow. Stay tuned. We’ve got a great rest of the week planned for you.
