In an insightful discourse, we explore the profound influence of Martin Luther King Jr. on the political climate and the substantial reforms being made under the Trump administration. From addressing the role of diversity equity and inclusion in government offices to tackling the importance of merit in administration, our discussion spans across various aspects of governance. Plus, stay tuned to hear about local legislative efforts attempting to introduce significant shifts in policies and governance. All of this is supported with interviews and the latest updates from the frontline actors advocating for taxpayer rights in Colorado.
SPEAKER 17 :
It’s the Kim Munson Show, analyzing the most important stories.
SPEAKER 13 :
The socialization of transportation, education, energy, housing, and water. What it means is that government controls it through rules and regulations.
SPEAKER 17 :
The latest in politics and world affairs.
SPEAKER 13 :
Under this guise of bipartisanship and nonpartisanship, it’s actually tapping down the truth.
SPEAKER 17 :
Today’s current opinions and ideas.
SPEAKER 13 :
On an equal field in the battle of ideas, mistruths and misconceptions is getting us into a world of hurt.
SPEAKER 17 :
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, strive for excellence. Take care of your heart, your soul, your mind, and your body. My friends, we were made for this moment in history. 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 Wednesday, Producer Joe. Happy Wednesday, Kim. And when it’s Wednesday, what that means is it’s Wings Day at Hooters restaurants. You buy 20 wings, you get an additional 10 for free. And that’s for to go or to dine in. And that’s at all their locations, Loveland, Aurora, Lone Tree, Westminster, and Colorado Springs. They are great sponsors of both the Kim Munson Show and America’s Veterans Stories. How I got to know them, very important story about freedom and free markets and capitalism and bumping up against those PBIs that want to exert control over our lives. And so very important story. And so be sure and check that out at my website. And again, Hooters Restaurants, five locations, Loveland, Aurora, Lone Tree, Westminster, and Colorado Springs. And they have great lunch specials Monday through Friday. I want to hear from you. Text line is 720-605-0647. That’s 720-605-0647. And I want to say thank you to Laramie Energy for their gold sponsorship of the show because it is reliable, efficient, affordable, and abundant energy. from oil, natural gas, and coal that powers our lives, fuels our hopes and dreams, and empowers us to control our own personal climates. It was very nice when it was below zero here in the metro area that, in fact, we were able to have warm homes controlling our own climates, and that is foundational to natural gas right here in Colorado. Colorado is abundant in natural gas, and from a regulatory standpoint, which that comes down from the governor’s office, and from a legislative standpoint, there is this war on natural gas, well, oil and coal here in Colorado. And we need to understand that ultimately what that does, it raises prices, and ultimately it’ll make it more scarce as well. So that’s why we need to shed light on all that is happening regarding our energy sector. And do thank Laramie Energy for their gold sponsorship of the show. We do search for truth and clarity on these issues by looking at these issues through this lens of freedom versus force, force versus freedom. Socialism is not about free stuff. The free stuff is just the carrot to get people to vote for socialism. And ultimately, socialism has to come down to force. 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. Force can obviously be a weapon, but policy, unpredictable and excessive taxation, fear, coercion, government-induced inflation, The World Economic Forum’s agenda that rolls into the globalist elites agenda, the United Nations agenda. And you see this then being played out, the Colorado state legislature, the Colorado governor, many local and county governments here in Colorado as well. the World Health Organization, which we’re not a member of, yay, but also land use codes, zoning regulations, force fees, conservation easements, national monument designations, et cetera. The list has been going on and on. We’re gonna start to see that list roll back. At this particular point in time, we can pull off the World Health Organization for us in America because Donald Trump has pulled us out of that. So that’s pretty amazing. Check out the website. That is Kim Munson, M-O-N-S-O-N.com. Sign up for our weekly email newsletter. You can email me at Kim at KimMunson.com as well. Thank you to all of you who support us. And the show comes to you Monday through Friday, 6 to 8 a.m. live. And then the first hour is rebroadcast 1 to 2 in the afternoon, second hour 10 to 11 at night. And that is on all KLZ 560 platforms. KLZ 560 AM, KLZ 100.7 FM, the KLZ website, the KLZ app. And then you can find the shows at my website and just click on the image and it’ll bring up the written summary as well as the podcast. And then podcasts can be heard on Spotify and iTunes. So we are everywhere. So let’s see, let’s get into it. First thing, I’ll get to the word of the day, our quote of the day, but then there’s all kinds of headlines to talk about. The word of the day is profundity. It’s P-R-O-F-U-N-D-I-T-Y. And it’s the quality of showing a clear and deep understanding of serious manners matters or number two, it could be a remark or thought that shows or is intended to show great understanding. So profundity, I would say that President Donald Trump and what he is pushing through his administration is. He has a tremendous profundity of the seriousness of the issues that America is facing right now. And day one, he has started to work to get all that turned around. Our quote of the day, I went to Martin Luther King Jr. because Inauguration Day was on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, We were certainly focused on the inauguration of Donald Trump, and I did not pull a Martin Luther King Jr. quote yesterday, so I thought I’d do it today. And he was born in 1929. He died in 1968. And I think many of you know his father, they changed their name. They added – they changed it to – Martin Luther. I think they added in Luther. So Martin Luther King Jr., and he was a pastor as well. I think that’s important to realize as well. So anyway, he was born in 1929. He died in 1968. He was an American Baptist minister, activist, and political philosopher. He was one of the most prominent leaders in the civil rights movement from 1955 until his assassination in 1968. And And he advanced civil rights for people of color or, as my good friend Cain would say, of Negroes in the United States through the use of nonviolent resistance and nonviolent civil disobedience against Jim Crow laws. Remember, these were laws. They were not constitutional. They did not adhere to this vision of the Declaration that all men are created equal, but yet they were laws. And then it says in other forms of legalized discrimination. And this is what he said. He said, be the best of whatever you are. That’s what we need to be teaching our kids. And merit, we’re seeing merit will be brought back to the military in the Donald Trump administration as well. And that falls right into one of these headlines. And that is… Trump removes the Coast Guard commandant because her focus was on all of this DEI stuff, this diversity, equity, inclusion, instead of merit. And so we’re going to see merit come back to America. That is what’s made America great, is people doing their best and seeing what could happen. And, of course, America happened, this amazing big – Big middle class where everyday people could, can’t, could and can thrive and prosper. And so, again, this is from Reuters. The Trump administration fired the U.S. Coast Guard Commandant Admiral Linda Lee Fagan, the first female uniformed leader of an armed forces branch. The Department of Homeland Security said on Tuesday, I find it so interesting just on this DEI. For example, she was a DEI hire. The radical activist Democrats say that they can’t really tell that there’s more than two genders, but yet they’re focused on gender here. And so anyway, former President Joe Biden nominated Fagan to lead the Coast Guard, which is responsible for maritime security in 2021. And she is no longer the commandant there. So we’ll talk about many of the other things that Donald Trump is doing as well. I think we’ll talk about the bill of the day. On Wednesdays, we’re going to have one of my fellow CUT board members call in, and we’ll do some commentary on the legislation that is being proposed down at the Statehouse. And tomorrow evening, we are hosting our legislator kickoff. and legislative kickoff. That will be at the Colorado Automobile Dealers Association, which is located at 290 East Speer in Denver. Lucy had texted me a question, what about parking there? Parking is right next to the building and it doesn’t cost anything. So I know that there’s concern sometimes to go into Denver, but at CADA, great parking, very well lit, right next to the building. And so do join us. It’s $10. You can go to the Colorado Union of Taxpayers website, which is coloradotaxpayer.org. Tickets are only $10. And while you’re there, be sure and join us. To join us, it’s only $25 per year. And for $2.08 a month, you’re going to receive the emails with the analysis of hours and hours of volunteer time. to analyze legislation down at the State House as it affects taxpayers, which is all of us, TABOR, Colorado’s Taxpayer Bill of Rights, property rights, and school choice. Those are some of the many things that we focus on. But when you see my fellow volunteer board members, say thank you to them. That is Steve Dorman, Greg Golianski, Russ Haas, Bill Hamill, Rob Knuth, John Nelson, Wendy Warner, Marty Nielsen, Rami Johnson, Rami Johnson, Mary Jansen, Dave Evans, and Corey Onusorg. Be sure and say thank you to them for all of their hard work. Let’s see, lots of headlines. I think the next one, you probably have all seen this, but it’s like you have to hold on to your hat. Because there is so much that is going on. And again, this is from Reuters. And the headline is you’re fired. Trump tells Biden appointees who many of them say that they already quit. I’m not sure that they got got in front of him, but they want to say that. And so Trump said that he plans to remove over 1000 of former President Joe Biden’s appointees from their government positions and that he had fired four individuals immediately, including celebrity chef Jose Andres and former top general Mark Milley. And also headlines are that Mark Milley’s photograph or not photograph, his portrait has been taken down at the Pentagon as well. And you’re fired, Trump wrote in an early morning post on his Truth Social platform that named Millie Andres, his former Iran envoy Brian Hook, and former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, who Biden had appointed to an export council. So that is pretty amazing. Let’s see. Next thing I wanted to read, Eric’s text with Manning’s famous burritos. Yesterday, he had texted me and I had meant to say this and I had missed it. He said, those in the deep state media that are so obsessed in calling President Donald Trump a felon are actually felons themselves. They’ve just not been convicted. And he says that’s one that we could use. And he’s right. And remember those those that conviction for Donald Trump regarding so that they could call him a felon. If you do the research on it, they say it was 34 counts. They are all accounting entries. And I imagine he didn’t even know what those accounting entries were when you when you look at how big his operation is. But good point on that, Eric. He always has really good things to say about all this happening out there. And let’s see a couple other other headlines that I wanted to mention. was that Trump orders all DEI government offices to close up shop by the end of the day, which that is pretty amazing. And then yesterday I did go down to the press presser for John and Aaron Lee and their their press conference regarding their court case against the Poudre Valley School District. And their daughter, the whole story, you can find that at artclubmovie.com, which they worked with Kevin Lundberg on producing that particular movie. And anyway, their case, and it’s another family as well, was heard in district court yesterday. and talked with Erin afterwards. We’re going to get her on the show for an update next week. But they hope that they can get this to the Supreme Court, where government-run schools cannot be doing this transgender indoctrination and all of that agenda without parents’ knowledge. So it’s a very important court case, and good for them for their good work on that. So they are And they are working on that and did meet their daughter who was the victim. Initially, I don’t want to say victim, who was the target. Let’s put it that way, the target of this agenda. And I’m so grateful that they got that all done. turned around. And so the show comes to you because of all of our amazing sponsors. One of those is the Roger Mangan State Farm Insurance team. And he’s been in business for 48 years.

Dave is a listener of the show and he is a new member of the board of the Colorado Union of Taxpayers Association. or also known as CUT. And again, our legislative kickoff is tomorrow evening at CADA, Colorado Automobile Dealers Association. We’d love to have you join us. Tickets are only $10. And also we’d love to have you join us as members as well so that you get that weekly email that we send to the governor and legislators regarding positions on legislation so that you can be informed and be active in what is happening. Dave Evans, welcome to the show.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, thank you, Kim. Good morning to you.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, good morning. It’s great to have you. And I’m so thrilled to have you be a member of the Colorado Union of Taxpayers Board. You’re new. You jumped in. We did our first email and now I sent out our first email on our analysis this last Monday. So first of all, Dave, tell us why you stepped forward to volunteer to do this, because it’s so important.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, I’ve lived in Colorado all my life. And watched the state turn bluer and bluer and bluer and felt like there was nothing I could do about it. But then the opportunity to join the union of taxpayers came up and I said, well, that sounds real interesting. Maybe I could help out doing it that way.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, and we are thrilled to have you. So we have done our first week of analysis, and we used this software, BuildTrack 50. I had a few little challenges, and Karen and I got that figured out. She actually is the creator of that. She used to live in Denver. She lives in London. So with the time difference, we had to work things out. But I think that we’ve got it. But it’s a really… great piece of technology to watch what’s happening. And I think you’ve done a really good job of navigating it. So what do you think about BuildTrack 50?
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, I agree. It’s a great program. Very easy to use, actually. You just have to find the right column to write in. And it’s just like entering your text in Word or something like that. Very simple and easy to use.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, and the other thing is it’s a tool…
SPEAKER 05 :
I was going to say, I have to say that when I started out, I fumbled around a little bit, but, you know, after a few minutes of that, I figured it out pretty readily, so.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, and the other thing about it, Dave, is that we can actually see all of the bills that have been proposed already. There’s 154 bills that have been proposed. And then what we do is when they’re scheduled for hearing, that is when we then send that out to the team for analysis. And then the other thing that we did is… I asked Karen to with the key words to let us know if there’s something, for example, with energy or firearms, these gifts, grants and donations where that might be in a piece of legislation, which that means that interested parties could come in and actually put money behind donations. law, which I think is a real problem. And then, of course, the safety clause. So great stuff. Also Tabor. I put in transgender activism. We’ve got and vaccine related. So we’re really watching all of those things closely. So for analysis this last week, we did analysis on Actually, you guys all did more bills because I had manually pulled bills into rate and then the Senate changed their calendar. So we’ll be including those bills probably next week. But was there one particular bill that jumped out at you that you in particular wanted to talk about regarding the six bills that we looked at this week?
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, after looking over our analysis, I think that first one on our list, SB 25005, is probably the biggest stinker of them all. It’s really just a sop for the Democratic Party and a sop for the unions designed to make it harder for employers in this state, make it more expensive for people, and it’s going to hurt employment, too.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, and that is, it’s titled Worker Protection Collective Bargaining, and what it’s doing, from what I can tell, Dave, is normally if workers were going to unionize, that there would have to be two votes to do so, and this gets rid of that second vote, so it really does give unions much more power.
SPEAKER 05 :
Right, yes, it’ll, things will become much more unionized, and and much harder for employers to keep costs down.
SPEAKER 13 :
And it’s it’s difficult. It’s getting more and more difficult to run a business in Colorado as it is. I remember I think it was the Colorado or CU lead school of business. We used to be in the in the in the tops regarding economic growth. We’re down to 40, 41st now in Colorado. And it’s because, Dave, of what’s happening down at the statehouse.
SPEAKER 05 :
Right. Well, we used to be pretty well governed in almost every aspect, and now we’re terrible. Utah spends a lot less money than we do, and they’re a whole lot better governed than we are. Yeah, we’re just going downhill in a hurry, and I sure hope the electorate wakes up and sees what’s going on.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, and that’s why we’re doing this now. I always like to give credit where credit is due. The prime sponsors on this Senate Bill 25005, which is really the union bill, is Senator Robert Rodriguez, Senator Jesse Danielson, Representative Javier Mabray, and Representative Jennifer Bacon. So, Dave Evans, another one that we did this week is the Third Party Administration of the Division of Housing Programs, House Bill 25-1019. And its short summary is concerning third-party administration. of programs for persons experiencing homelessness that are overseen by the Division of Housing and the Department of Local Affairs. And we came out with a no on that. The sponsors, prime sponsors on that are Representative Emily Sirota and Senator Nick Hendrickson. And I think that this is also a very bad bill, moving something into third-party administration. This is where we really get into interest of parties, government, cronyism is what I think about that. What do you think?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yes, I agree. It’s completely inappropriate to have outside contractors administering state programs. Plus, they’ll have to pay these contractors something, and that’s going to come out of the program, and so it’s going to reduce funding for the actual program, which means that next year they’re going to say, oh, gee, we need more money for this, and it’ll come out of the taxpayer’s hide.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, and the other thing is, though, the agency, if I understand it correctly, will still get some percentage to administer this to send it over to the third party. Did I catch that correctly?
SPEAKER 05 :
I think that’s right, yes.
SPEAKER 13 :
OK.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 13 :
And and tomorrow evening, Dave, we’re going to have our legislative event, our legislative kickoff, and we will be very pleased to present our awards to our Colorado taxpayers, guardian and our champion, our guardians and our warriors. And that’s tomorrow evening. 530 to 6 is the Mix and Mingle. The program begins at 6 at the Colorado Automobile Dealers Association. I think it’s going to be a really great evening, Dave Evans.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, I think so, too. I’m looking forward to it. Thanks for putting this together, Kim.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, we’ve got a great board, people that care deeply about our state. And Dave, we are just really thrilled to have you as our new board member. And it’s a lot of analysis, but I think we each have to do our part to reclaim our state. I’m pleased to see what’s happening at the national level. with Donald Trump with his regulatory freeze. But what I think is going to happen here in Colorado is this legislature and then many of our local and county governments are going to double down on this bigger and bigger government agenda. And as Dennis Prager says, when government gets bigger, the individual gets smaller. Well, America, Dave, was founded on this idea of the individual having all this liberty to go after their hopes and dreams. And you can’t have both. You can’t have big government and people going after their hopes and dreams. So we need to reclaim that for Colorado as well, Dave Evans.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yep, that’s being taken away from us.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, Dave Evans, I’m excited. We will see you tomorrow evening. And thank you for jumping in and being on the radio with me. And thank you for listening. I greatly appreciate you.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, you’re welcome, and thank you. It was an honor, and I sure appreciate all you’re doing. You’re really doing the yeoman’s work on this. Thank you.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, absolutely. So we’ll see you tomorrow night and all the rest of you join us tomorrow evening. That is Thursday, January 23rd at the Colorado Union of Taxpayers legislative kickoff. And that will be five thirty to six mix and mingle. Six o’clock. The program begins. A number of our legislators will be there. Tickets are just ten dollars. We’d love to have you join us.

We search for truth and clarity by looking at these issues through the lens of freedom versus force, force versus freedom. Something’s a good idea. You should not have to force people to do it. And I did want to mention our quote of the day. I chose a quote from Martin Luther King, Jr., And a great quote that we have from him and Mark, one of our listeners said, we should continue to point out the DEI, this diversity, equity and inclusion is the exact opposite of what Martin Luther King Jr. fought and died for. judging people by their… He fought for judging people by their character, not by their skin color. And Mark goes on to say, MLK fought to eliminate Jim Crow laws, not to create new laws. Equal treatment, not special treatment. He’s absolutely right. We say it on the show all the time. You can’t have equal… I’m paraphrasing now. You can’t have special treatment and And not have equal treatment. So he’s right on that. The quote from Martin Luther King Jr. is be the best of whatever you are. Please have on the line with me my friend Scott Powell. He is a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute. And he’s written a couple of really important pieces that we wanted to chat with him about. And the first one is regarding the Donald Trump administration and. This populist mandate that is bringing on our second American Revolution. And I’ve actually said that we’re in our third founding of our country. And that was, first of all, we had the founding, then we had the Civil War, and now. Scott Powell, welcome to the show.
SPEAKER 07 :
Kim, wonderful to be with you.
SPEAKER 13 :
Good to have you. And it is remarkable. You just also published a piece about all of these executive orders. There’s been a flurry. I think flurry would be the correct word, Scott Powell.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, I think last count it was over 200 in the first 12 hours. That’s clearly a world record.
SPEAKER 13 :
And I don’t really want us to be governed by executive order. However, there are so many things that need to be rolled back immediately. And because if we don’t get those done, then it will just take too much time to try to get a bunch of this bad stuff rolled back. And a number of those executive orders was rolling back things that Joe Biden had done as executive order. So I think it is pretty important.
SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, absolutely. It’s important to get the Trump administration off to a very strong and quick start, you might say. Shock and awe is the name of the game and the order of the day.
SPEAKER 13 :
It really is. So let’s talk about these pieces that you have recently published. This first one is at Newsmax, and it’s the populist mandate brought the second American revolution. And we are clearly in historic times, Scott Powell.
SPEAKER 07 :
These are very exciting times, really. And I know that many of your audience, and I’m included in that group, really was upset when Donald Trump was deprived of a second term in 2020. We saw that there was massive voting irregularity, election irregularity, vote fraud. And we were all on board with trying to get that corrected. Of course, it came to naught. And so Joe Biden, and that led to, of course, January 6th, that was then used really against the patriot cause, if you will. It certainly was not an insurrection, but it was, it was, we got played on that. Anyway, we know what happened. Joe Biden’s administration got installed and Donald Trump was out of office for four years, but, and we, we wrung our hands over that, but perhaps, you know, the hand of God had a different plan. And the plan was, to allow the American people to really see the results of an evil and demonic government, what it could do, the harm it could do, the disruption, the damage it could create. And that’s what we witnessed in the last four years. Meanwhile, Donald Trump was preparing for his second term. He was studying – the landscape, if you will, and coming up with a battle plan. And many people thought he could not come back, and yet he did. And now he’s having his second term. He’s the 47th president of the United States. And he will be far more effective in leading America now than he would have been had he had a consecutive term. So none of us planned that. None of us could really see that. But the right thing has happened, and I feel it’s almost providential that things happened the way that they did because now the people are really ready, and that’s why they voted overwhelmingly. We had a popular – a big popular majority that put him back into office – Which makes him a more powerful leader, and we have the House and the Senate supporting him. We had a trifecta, really. We wouldn’t have had – we didn’t have a trifecta. Four years ago.
SPEAKER 13 :
So, Scott, a couple of things. You mentioned January 6th. And I was talking with a young person last year on January 6th because January 6th has been painted by the mainstream media as an insurrection against our country. But we’ve all seen the videos of people, just regular people that are just walking through the Capitol. They’re staying on the carpet. They’re in between the cordoned off area. They’re walking where they’re supposed to, looking around. But this young person said to me that they knew that the narrative was being manipulated when you saw that picture of the horned guy that was in the inner chambers and the Capitol Police were just walking behind him. And I thought that that was that I think that’s important to to bring out so that people understand how that narrative was manipulated, as you mentioned, against against those that really wanted to reclaim our country. And then you mentioned one other thing regarding the questions on the election. And in in let’s see, I had this here in 2020. Joe Biden apparently received 81 million votes, plus a little bit, to Donald Trump’s 74 million votes. But in 2024, I think it was about 76 million votes for Donald Trump and around 74 million for Kamala Harris. One has to ask, where did all those Biden voters go, right?
SPEAKER 07 :
Absolutely. They were not real voters. The ballot boxes, the drop boxes, and the after-hours vote counting were all – many of them were phony ballots. And so that the – for instance, I believe in Pennsylvania more people voted than they had registered voters. And that was true in some other jurisdictions as well. So there really was a massive vote fraud, and of course it was all part of the plan really. I think that they recognized that the conditions due to COVID were such that the Democrat lawyer operatives could get the voting protocols and the voting laws changed and they focused on the swing states, remember, so that they got extended period for voting. They got allowing the use of drop boxes that was funded by Mark Zuckerberg in Wisconsin and Georgia and elsewhere. But there was a plan to, you know, Steal the election, literally. And these 86 million votes, there’s no way that Joe Biden got 86 million votes. The man didn’t campaign. He was an unimpressive, very unimpressive guy. And so – It is what it is, but, you know, the Bible says that God— And just clarification, they said it was 81 million, just a clarification.
SPEAKER 13 :
81 million, okay. About 6 million more. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but where did all that go? But go ahead. You said the Bible says?
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, I was just pointing out that the Bible says that God uses all things for good. So who would have guessed that these circumstances— would be used for this great outcome that we now have. But they have been used, and they were used almost in a way that transcends our ability to have orchestrated it. We certainly didn’t orchestrate the demise of the Democrat Party. They orchestrated their own demise with all the things they did with open borders, with you know, reducing energy production, uh, inflation, uh, you know, so many things happened in the last four years that really turned, uh, that opened the American people’s eyes to the state of affairs that America had come to. And they said, no, we need to correct this. And, uh, and so we had this great victory, uh, last November five. And, um, And Trump has got a popular mandate, not just an electoral college victory, but a popular victory. So we have much to be grateful for. We really do.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, so Scott Powell, several things. We need to, you mentioned elections. We need to get to the point where votes are counted on Election Day and that is it. What we saw afterwards with this extension of counting votes for some of these House seats, for these Senate seats, that’s a real problem.
SPEAKER 07 :
I think we need to get that changed. It is, and it’ll be interesting to see how we pull this off. I think we’re going to get it done. But the Constitution allows for states to control the voting protocols that they – each state has the responsibility for establishing the voting – rules and regulations. So there’s really, there’s not a national, you know, the Constitution doesn’t provide for the national, the federal government for, you know, establishing voting protocols. That’s a state responsibility. Many states have brought about reform, but we definitely need what you’ve just described, Kim. And I do think that Somehow it’s going to happen. The American people are behind voting ID. Everybody should have an idea to vote. They are all in favor of one-day voting. They’re in favor of paper ballots, I believe, because people know that other countries that – like France. France is a big country, and they get – they don’t have any problems with their national votes. They use paper ballots. It’s all done in one day. They know the results by late the night of the election. And we in Florida – I live in Florida. We know the results by 10 o’clock at night. Our system is very efficient. We don’t just use paper ballots, though. We have a mail-in ballot protocol here. But all the ballots have to be in by Election Day.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, and that’s really important. And Colorado has a really extended voting time, about three weeks. And we need to compress that. Ideally, I’d love to compress that down to one day. I’m talking with Scott Powell, and we were talking about this piece that he’s written about. It’s in Newsmax regarding this populist mandate of the Donald Trump administration and what that actually means. And these are such important discussions. They come to you because of our sponsors.

And welcome back to The Kim Munson Show. Be sure and check out our website. That is Kim Munson, M-O-N-S-O-N.com. Sign up for our weekly email newsletter and email me at Kim at KimMunson.com as well. Thank you to all of you who support us. 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. Two nonprofits that I love and support on the show. One is the Center for American Values located in Pueblo, Colorado and on the Riverwalk. Pueblo is known as the home of heroes because four Medal of Honor recipients grew up there. And so they have these beautiful portraits of valor and they’re going to have a great event tomorrow evening. 4 o’clock is their On Values presentation regarding the USS Pueblo, which was taken captive during the Vietnam War and held by the North Koreans for over a year. Robert Chico was a crew member on that ship, and he’s going to be talking about his experiences. And so you can get more information by going to AmericanValueCenter.org. And just let them know that you’re going to be attending, and it doesn’t cost anything, and they normally have a nice little reception afterwards. And then also the USMC Memorial Foundation is raising money for the remodel of the Marine Memorial, which is right here in Colorado. and you can get more information to support them by going to usmcmemorialfoundation.org. I’m talking with Scott Powell. He is a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute, and we’re talking about this piece that he’s written at Newsmax regarding the populist mandate of Donald Trump. And, again, we’re trying to clarify the numbers. It’s reported that Biden received a little over $81 million Votes in 2020, Trump about 74 million. And then Trump in 2024 received 77 plus million votes. Harris, 75 million. And again, and thank you, Eric, for making sure that we had that clarified. where did those approximate six million votes go? And that is a question I think people have to really ask. And I think what happens, Scott Powell, is work that we did here in Colorado with our Colorado 2024 Election Project, people all over the country watching these elections i think that that was key as people across america were doing things to watch these elections to try to make sure that we had a free fair honest transparent election there were still things that occurred but um they were not over those nefarious things did not overcome that the outcome of the national election that’s right uh and um and it was um a great day um
SPEAKER 07 :
It was a great day on November 5, and what a great day on the Inauguration Day just two days ago. There’s such optimism now, optimism that I’ve really not seen in a long time. It’s very – we’re living in historic, really biblical times. This is perhaps – Donald Trump is going to be – the 47th president is perhaps going to be the most consequential president in all of our history, with the exception, of course, perhaps of our early – our first president. Of course, the first president had no precedent. It was the creation of a new nation and a new government. But in the last 245 years – And isn’t it amazing that Donald Trump, having the second term when he does, that he, like Grover Cleveland, has had unconsecutive terms. He skipped four years and then came back, that he’s going to be the president at the time of the great celebration of the 250th anniversary of our country, of our constitution. You know, 2026 is 250 years after 1776, and so it’ll be a – it’s an incredible time in which to be alive, I must say. It’s – I’m still getting used to – still getting used to it.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, it is. It’s a remarkable time. And I have said this, and one of our listeners, Eric, said, Kim, I know that you say that Donald Trump is not our savior. Let me get to where he’s at. But he said, with all of these executive orders, it looks close. And I agree. I agree. These things that he’s doing – and I know that there are those even on the – that are on the right had said that they had some concerns about Donald Trump and things that he might do when he came into office. But I love the fact in his inaugural address and then what you saw on that first day is he said that he’s going to adhere to the Constitution. And he gave credit to God on many occasions. And I think he’s got his priorities in the right place. And I really am encouraged that he is going to be doing things that he can do constitutionally and adhere to the Constitution. Your thoughts, Scott Powell?
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, as I said in the Newsmax article published last week, this second American revolution that we’re in right now is really – a moral and spiritual revolution. And isn’t it, it’s just remarkable that Donald Trump, who is not thought of as a, you know, he’s a businessman. He was a commercial real estate magnate. He accomplished great things in a very difficult industry. He’s You might call him a bit of a rough diamond, but that’s what was required for him to be successful. But he is a remarkable patriot. I can’t think of a leader that we’ve had who has more patriotism than Donald Trump. And isn’t that the most important qualification to be the leader of America is a great patriot? And we have this remarkable – yeah.
SPEAKER 13 :
Go ahead. Well, and the term patriot, the left to try to sully that that word patriot, but patriot isn’t this bravado. Patriot is love of country. And I agree with you. He has this amazing love of country. We’ve got a couple of minutes left, but I want to make sure that I do mention your book, which is so important, Rediscovering America, How the National Holidays Tell an Amazing Story About Who We Are. And everyone should have this book at home on their Freedom Library for sure, Scott Powell. So we’ve got a couple of minutes left. How do you want to wrap this up?
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, regarding Rediscovering America, I purposely wrote the book – … for American people, and American people are very busy. They don’t have time to read books, and typically history genre books are long. They tend to be long books. This is a short book. It’s just a little over 200 pages, and it’s written with chapters that each tell a standalone story about the transitional periods of American history. If you read – Rediscovering America tells you pretty much everything you need to know about America… and why we have been the greatest nation in world history. There’s no country like America. America was born on these amazing ideas of equal value, of life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness. We were born out of ideas. We weren’t born out of a blood lineage or the spoils of war or a common culture or common language as other nations have been formed. We were born out of these great ideas and this Second American Revolution that we’re in right now is a restoration of those ideas, a restoration of constitutional law, law and order. It’s a restoration of putting America’s interests first. The founders recognized that if America could establish a country that would be exemplary to the world… It would be a great gift to the world. It would show the way to the rest of the world, and we would be a city on a hill. And that is what the America First movement also recognizes, that if we become an exemplary nation, other countries will move in our direction. In other words, we don’t have to go out and change regimes overseas like we’ve been doing, being overly involved in foreign affairs. We take care of our own country. and we create the opportunity environment for people to flourish, they will flourish. So it’s a great day that we have, and I’m very excited about the time in which we’re living.
SPEAKER 13 :
Absolutely. Scott Powell, thank you so much. We will talk again very soon, and keep up the great work.
SPEAKER 07 :
Thank you, Kim.
SPEAKER 13 :
And our quote for the end of the show, Martin Luther King Jr. said, if you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl. But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward. 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. Stay tuned for hour number two.
SPEAKER 14 :
The views and opinions expressed on KLZ 560 are those of the speaker, commentators, hosts, their guests, and callers. They are not necessarily the views and opinions of Crawford Broadcasting or KLZ management, employees, associates, or advertisers. KLZ 560 is a Crawford Broadcasting God and country station.
SPEAKER 17 :
It’s the Kim Munson Show, analyzing the most important stories.
SPEAKER 13 :
The socialization of transportation, education, energy, housing, and water, what it means is that government controls it through rules and regulations.
SPEAKER 17 :
The latest in politics and world affairs.
SPEAKER 13 :
Under the guise of bipartisanship and nonpartisanship, it’s actually tapping down the truth.
SPEAKER 17 :
Today’s current opinions and ideas.
SPEAKER 13 :
On an equal field in the battle of ideas, mistruths and misconceptions is getting us into a world of hurt.
SPEAKER 17 :
Is it freedom or is it force? Let’s have a conversation.
SPEAKER 13 :
Indeed. Let’s have a conversation and welcome to our number two of the Kim Munson Show. Thank you so much for joining us. You’re each treasured, you’re valued, you have purpose today. Strive for excellence. Take care of your heart, your soul, your mind and your body. My friends, we were made for this moment in history. As we’re talking with Scott Powell, we are in an amazing time in history. Thank you to the team. That’s Producer Joe, Luke, Rachel, Zach, Echo, Charlie, Mike, Teresa, and all the people here at Crawford Broadcasting. And Producer Joe, you shared great optimism yesterday with – you’d watched or had it on basically all day on Inauguration Day to watch what was going on. And what’s your take after day number two of the Trump administration?
SPEAKER 10 :
I’m still optimistic. I think – He hit the ground running really well, and it’s going to take time, just like everything else. It doesn’t fix overnight, and we’ve got to keep this battle going.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, we really do. And we’re really at the forefront, I think, here in Colorado. So what I see is the radical activists, extremists are going to double down and try to stay a little bit under the radar, if you will, from a national level. but then doing the subversion at these other levels. And so we need to be engaged even more in this battle of ideas. That’s why we do the show, is so that you can get your brain around these issues and engage in this battle of ideas. And be sure and check everything out that we’re doing at KimMunson.com. You can sign up for our weekly email newsletter there. You’ll get first look at our upcoming guests as well as our most recent essays. You can email me at Kim at Kim Munson dot com. The text line is 720-605-0647. And thank you to all of you who support us. We are an independent voice. Watch that. What that means is, is I purchased my airtime, but that gives me total freedom in subject selection, guest selection. And so thank you for supporting that. And of course, all of our sponsors make that happen as well, such as Laramie Energy. I appreciate their goal sponsorship of the show. It’s that reliable, efficient, affordable, and abundant energy from oil, natural gas, and coal that powers our lives, fuels our hopes and dreams, and empowers us to control our own personal climate, to be warm in the winter and cool in the summer. And that whole thing is under attack. And we have to ask why. Because the fact that everyday people can thrive and prosper is really this big, great American idea. And that certainly has been under attack. So, anyway, it’s important that we have these discussions, and we have them every Monday through Friday, 6 to 8 a.m., with the first hour rebroadcast 1 to 2 in the afternoon, second hour rebroadcast 10 to 11 at night, and that’s on all KLZ 560 platforms, KLZ 560 AM, KLZ 100.7 FM. the KLZ website, the KLZ app. And you can find our podcast of the show at my website. Just click on the image of the show and that’ll bring up the written summary as well as the podcast. And then podcasts can be heard Spotify and iTunes as well. And we look at these issues through the lens of freedom versus force, force versus freedom. Something’s a good idea. You should not have to force people to do it. Uh, let’s see regarding, Oh, our word of the day. We need to get to all of these things here is a profundity and it is P R O F U N D I T Y. And your challenge is to use that in a sentence today. And it could be the quality of showing a clear and deep understanding of serious matters. I think with, uh, the day one of the Trump administration with the executive orders to roll back all of these terrible things that have been happening in our country because of the Biden-Harris administration, that Donald Trump has a deep profundity of the seriousness of all that’s going on here. And so your challenge is to use the word profundity in a sentence today. Our quote of the day is from Martin Luther King Jr. He was born in 1929. He died in 1968. And he was an American Baptist minister, activist, political philosopher, and a prominent leader in the civil rights movement from 1955 until his assassination in 1968. And he pushed for the advancement for – in Wikipedia it says people of color. My friend Cain wants to reclaim the word Negro in the United States through the use of nonviolent resistance and nonviolent civil disobedience against Jim Crow laws and other forms of legalized discrimination. And Mark, one of our listeners, had said – Let’s see here. The civil rights movement was twisted by the wicked ones. The new civil rights laws were unnecessary. Totally agree. And then those civil rights laws have also been twisted to push forward this transgender activist movement. And Mark goes on to say that DEI, diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, which those are really about dividing people, putting them into… different groups according to their their race or their gender uh we’re born during the civil rights movement and he’s absolutely correct and um one of the sound bites that we pull from the show that we have is you cannot have equal rights if you have special rights And that’s whether or not it’s remember the Equal Rights Amendment that Biden apparently got confused and thought that that actually was part of the Constitution. It’s not because if you have special rights for people, you cannot have equal rights. And so that is so important to understand that. Anyway, his quote, let me share that with you, is be the best of whatever you are. So every day when we talk about striving for excellence, be the very best that you can be and strive for excellence. And it’s a very important point. I didn’t talk about this in the first hour, this day in history, because as we’ve added in the bill of the day, we won’t be focusing quite as much on this day in history. However, there were these different weather events that I thought were important to note because we’ve always had weather. The climate has always changed. And this whole narrative of climate change has been weaponized to basically bankrupt uh everyday people bankrupt america and that is why this uh documentary a climate conversation which is the project of walt johnson is so important to understand this narrative i talked with a friend of mine just the other day and she said kim i think that is is one of the best documentaries regarding this particular subject in the way that it was handled And so you can watch that for free at a climate conversation dot com. And then we also have created a great podcast series with a number of great scientists and experts on this narrative as well. So you’ll be very, very informed on that. But there had been the narrative that the world was going to freeze. And a little global warming would be a great idea. So these were some weather events. 1930, negative 35 degrees Fahrenheit at Mount Carroll, Illinois, which is a state record. 1943, 26.12 inches of precipitation over a 24-hour period in Hoagies Camp, California, state record. 1943, temperatures rise 49 degrees Fahrenheit in two minutes. In Spearfish, South Dakota, we had such an interesting change in temperature there that we talked about yesterday in South Dakota. A couple of other things. 1944, the Allied forces begin landing at Anzio in the Italian mainland. This 1973 was the decision by the U.S. Supreme Court legalizing most abortions in Roe v. Wade. authoring the majority opinion. Harry Blackmun states that the criminalization of abortion does not have roots in the English common law tradition. And, of course, that was overturned by our Supreme Court recently. Just a couple, let’s see, well, some other weather events. 1982, 75% of North America is covered by snow. In 1985, negative 30 degrees Fahrenheit in Mountain Lake Biostation in Virginia, which is a state record. In 1985, cold wave damages 90% of Florida’s citrus crop. And in 2016, a winter storm conditions strand 500 motorists for 24 hours in Somerset and Bedford counties, about 80 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. And so the weather is always changing is the point that I want to make with all of these different things this day in history regarding weather. And this Green New Deal, what I’ve come to learn is the Green New Deal is the green that was going into PBI’s pockets, those politicians, bureaucrats, and interested parties. And day one, Donald Trump is turning all that around regarding the Green New Deal. And the money that Joe Biden promised, these millions and millions of dollars to these different green energy PBIs, hopefully that money will not be spent. And we’ve got to get a handle on spending here in America. We’ve got to get that lowered. And we also need to address this national debt. And I think that Donald Trump is going to work diligently on that. And so it’s important that we have these discussions and we have them because of our sponsors. And one of those great sponsors is the Roger Mangan State Farm Insurance Team. They can certainly help you with your insurance. Give them a call. Like a good neighbor, the Roger Mangan team is there.
SPEAKER 01 :

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 thank you to Laramie Energy for their gold sponsorship of the show. It’s that reliable, efficient, affordable, and abundant energy from oil, natural gas, and coal that powers our lives, fuels our hopes and dreams, and empowers us to control our own personal climates, to be warm in the winter and cool in the summer. And all of that is under all kinds of attack. And that’s why it’s important that we… Talk about these important issues, and in particular, those that have been under attack as the people that feed and fuel us. And Trent Luce, sixth-generation farmer and rancher, has been shedding light on these issues for over 25 years, and he is on the line. Trent Luce, welcome to the show.
SPEAKER 04 :
On the line, there are several interpretations of that, but it’s a pleasure to be back with you, Kim.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, you’ve been busy. You’ve been out at the National Western. And I remember as a kid that it was always cold during the National Western, and we had a bit of a cold snap. And it makes those barns a little chilly out there, Trent Luce.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, and the bison were rolling in yesterday. The draft horses are rolling in, and the bison in particular, they are outside in normal environments, and that is going to be a very exciting show. There are 35 more bison here than there was last year, which I’m just going to go back to American buffalo.
SPEAKER 13 :
I like American buffalo. Why did they change the name? Why did that happen?
SPEAKER 04 :
Because India, the country in the world with the most bovine animals, has a huge population of water buffalo. And so some individuals within the American Buffalo Association thought, we want to make sure that nobody confuses us for the water buffalo of India. And so they started going with some bison instead of buffalo buffalo. Now, living on the Rosebud Indian Reservation for five years and working with tribal members who were owned and managed the buffalo herds on the tribes, the tribal folks still call them buffalo, not bison. Tatonka. Let us go with Tatonka.
SPEAKER 13 :
Okay, so how does this work exactly at the National Western? They bring in different animals at different times. So last week, you were the emcee for the Beef and Wine Festival, which was… And they brought in four different cattle. And they were so beautiful at Trent Luce. And so how does this work? Because they can’t have all the animals there at the same time. There’s not enough room. So how does this work out at the National Western?
SPEAKER 04 :
So there’s a rotation of animals by breed and what the purpose is that come in the first weekend. The first weekend was really geared towards commercial cattlemen. So there was commercial seminars about animal health strategies and genetic strategies and data collection and all of those things that have allowed us to eliminate some of the surprises, so to speak, in raising animals. But then once the commercial weekend concludes, the commercial cattlemen kind of move out. And then I said, each breed comes in. So Gelby breed was first. and then the limousine breed, and then you just rotate through all of the beef breeds, including Angus and Hereford, and the Red Angus and Charolais and Scimital and Maine Anjou. I’m really glad I started naming them, but I think I came up with, oh, no, the Scottish Highlanders are in now. But then once those cattle roll out, then this last weekend, you have the bison roll in. And so it’s the same concept. I saw trailers unloading yesterday from Utah. Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Colorado. And it’s breeders bringing animals of different ages and sizes because it’s where you can come together and evaluate the genetics and maybe take home a new set of genetics that will improve your herd. And so that rotation is what keeps what we call in the yards just very fluid and and the cattle are outside, and the bison will never be haltered or shown like you think of. In terms of putting them on a halter and showing them, they’re just going to be pinned loose, and you won’t be allowed to go pet the bison. There will be much more distance than what you had at the Beef and Wine Festival from those four beautiful animals. But there’s something so majestic about the buffalo. It’s just pretty incredible if you think about where they’ve been and what they’ve done.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, and then you said the draft horses as well. You talk about beautiful animals, and certainly they were the workhorses for many, many years. So those will be coming in as well, you said, right?
SPEAKER 04 :
They are coming in as well. In fact, a longtime dear friend, Joey, funny I would say that, Joey Friend, his name is Friend, From Elizabeth, Colorado, I believe he told me he’s bringing six teams of horses in, so they’ll have draft horse pulls, draft horse competition, and all of those are going to be in throughout the rest of the week. But the interesting thing about Running Creek Ranch, which is in Elizabeth, Colorado, is that they still feed all of their horses with a team every single day. So they’re harnessing horses, and they’re doing it what I’ll call in the old way, Without a tractor, they’re managing that ranch, and they’ve always had just a tremendous set of Belgians. I don’t understand, and I had that conversation with Joey last week. I’m like, dude, the percherons are so much better. Why do you continue to have these subpar animals called Belgians? You know, friends jabbing one another.
SPEAKER 13 :
Oh, my. So this is very exciting. So you’re here at the National Western. You said that you basically went home for just a few days, but you are out there. and really doing such amazing work, Trent Luce. But let’s talk about some of these other things. While you were here, you gave some testimony at the Colorado Capitol. I thought it was the Senate committee, but when you and I were preparing, you said it was a joint committee that you presented at last week, and I assume you did that via Zoom. Is that right?
SPEAKER 04 :
I did not present. I showed up at the – this is the Joint Senate and House Committee on Energy and Environment, And it’s one of the most frustrating things I’ve endured. And I’ve been a part of this political process. I know how frustrating it is. But what took place was the meeting was to begin at 11 o’clock, which it did. It started on time. I was in the committee room myself.
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, okay.
SPEAKER 04 :
Each division within energy or environment made their presentations, and there was a schedule put forth, and the public comment period, which I had been asked to contribute to the public comment period, was scheduled to start at 3.50 on Thursday afternoon. So I sat there from 11 o’clock, and then it got to the point where they were an hour and 15 minutes behind. I had another live broadcast, so I literally had to leave the Capitol, get to another live broadcast, And my friend from Eastern Colorado, Richard Rubel was there and he did stay the whole time. And when there was time for public comment, there was actually three of them that stood up and wanted to have a say that were present in the room. You did have the option of doing it via Zoom, but I don’t understand why you would not be present in the room and witness the body language and see all of the things that are taking place. And why it was frustrating to me, Kim, was the fact that all I heard from each one of the bureaucrats, from the director of energy, which I think was the worst, he didn’t want to talk about anything other than the initiative to get Colorado to net carbon zero before California. That’s the only thing that mattered to him. And I got to give a shout out to Representative Ken DeGroff from, I believe he’s El Paso County.
SPEAKER 08 :
Right, right.
SPEAKER 04 :
He said, I don’t understand why you sit there continuing to tell me that we need to get to net carbon zero when 65 percent of the buildings in downtown Denver are vacant. And we don’t have businesses that can comply with what we’re already putting in place as regulations. And you’re not addressing that. You’re not looking at what we can do to incentivize business entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs. You simply want to put up more hurdles to chase more business. And that to me was the theme of the entire event. And when I talked about the body language, you can see the members of this joint committee between the House and the Senate that agreed with him and that disagreed with him. And quite frankly, I only felt like there were two that were willing to take on the narrative that I witnessed. And that was Senator Pelton. from Logan County, and he represents a pretty big area of eastern Colorado, and then obviously Representative DeGroff from El Paso County. But otherwise, it’s just like we’re going to allow these bureaucrats to do everything other than what can we do to improve the business climate of Colorado and what can we do to improve the opportunity for a better life for our Colorado citizens. It was just very frustrating in that regard. And yeah, I wish I could have stayed and given my three minutes of testimony. And everybody should do that. At the end of the day, we know what kind of an impact it would have made, but at least it would have gotten some things on the record. But my point in all of that is, every time I’ve ever been a part of going to testify in front of a committee, and this would have been the sixth state capitol that I’ve been in, and my particular job was to talk about CO2 injections, which they walk through how they’re going to do this in northeast Colorado. Anytime there’s a public comment period, they start with that, and then they get to their scheduled presenters. And it was clear to me this particular committee did not want to. I’m sure it’s a representation of what’s happening in the Colorado capital every day. They did not want to hear from the constituents.
SPEAKER 13 :
And, yeah, it is a strategy that they use, Trent Luce. And was that Senator Rod Pelton? There’s two Peltons. There’s Byron Pelton and Rod Pelton. Which of them was it?
SPEAKER 04 :
I’m sure it’s from Logan County. I’m sure it’s Byron Pelton.
SPEAKER 13 :
Okay, okay. And just a quick note, this is a good time that I can mention the Colorado Union of Taxpayers. It’s an all-volunteer group. I’m the president of this. We’re going to have our legislative kickoff tomorrow evening, and we will be honoring our Colorado taxpayer champion, guardians, and warriors. And just a quick shout-out, and I think they’re all going to be at the event, and that’s Stephanie Luck, Kindergraf, who you just mentioned, scott bottoms kevin van winkle mark basely rod pelton ron weinberg brandy bradley and don wilson and so these are people that have really been standing up for you the taxpayer which is all of us and did did your friend tell you what time he finally was able to testify trent loose
SPEAKER 04 :
Richard did tell me, and they had moved up the time. It was not an actual hour and a half later. They shortened it up somehow. I did confirm myself. I was right. It was Byron Pelton from eastern Colorado.
SPEAKER 13 :
Great. Okay.
SPEAKER 04 :
And he did not even get to testify either, but he stood up and was going to be one of the three. I don’t know what happened there, but he said he did not testify either, and he sat there from 11 o’clock until 6 p.m. They do not want to hear from constituents.
SPEAKER 13 :
They don’t. And it is a strategy. And I’ve seen that many, many times when I’ve been down at the Capitol as well. And so I think we need to use the Zoom link if we can’t get down there because, Trent, you didn’t clearly have the time. To sit there for all those hours and then not even get to testify because you had so much that you needed to do with all the media that you do. And so they know what they’re doing. They know that people are busy and they play into that, I think.
SPEAKER 04 :
I agree with you 100% and I feel like I witnessed it.
SPEAKER 13 :
You did. And I think, again, when I think you said the director of energy said that they want to outdo California, you can see that that’s the fight that we have here in Colorado. So we’re going to continue the discussion with Trent Luce. And we have these discussions because it’s so important that we’re in this battle of ideas. And I tell you, an industry that’s under attack is the beef industry. It’s under regulatory attack and legislative attack. And we have to ask why, because it’s such a great protein source in our diets. And, of course, for a great treat, great protein in your diet and that steakhouse experience at home is Lavaca Meat Company.

And tomorrow there’s two great events going on. First of all, we are having our legislative kickoff with the Colorado Union of Taxpayers. That is at 530 at the Colorado Automobile Dealers Association. And we are very excited to present our awards to our taxpayer guardian and warriors and champions. and we’d love to have you join us. Tickets are only $10, and CADA has good parking, free parking, a well-lit parking lot, and so love to have you join us, and you can buy your tickets by going to coloradotaxpayer.org. Tried to be in two places at the same time, never successfully, but if I could, the other place that I would be is down in Pueblo at the Center for American Values. They are having an On Values presentation today, by Bob Chica, who was a crew member on the USS Pueblo, which was taken captive during the Vietnam War by the North Koreans. And that will be an excellent presentation as well. You can get more information by going to AmericanValueCenter.org. It doesn’t cost anything, but let them know that you are coming and you can get all that information there. Trent Luce is on the line. And Trent, so interesting regarding your testimony down at the Capitol and that you were actually there and the strategy that the PBIs, politicians, bureaucrats, and interested parties have to basically shut down our voices. They extend the timeframe because they don’t really want to hear from us. They don’t really want to represent us. They’re representing all these interested parties. but the co2 pipeline of which you were going to testify on uh we’ve seen some disruption and again a lot of it’s from the work that you’re doing the disruption in trying to get the land to do these um i guess that was that that’s not the co2 pipelines that is the transmission lines uh here in colorado And so anything that you learned regarding transmission lines and trying to disrupt getting the land to make that happen here in Colorado?
SPEAKER 04 :
I actually left just as that presentation from that bureaucrat was taking place. But the Missouri Cattlemen’s Convention happened this week, and it concluded on Sunday. My friend Chuck Miller from Missouri is past president, and I’m talking about Missouri in answer to your question because the issues that the state of Missouri and the cattlemen have as a top priority coming forward is transmission lines. the abuse of solar energy that are coming in on land, confiscating land, confiscating is probably not a good word, but the threat of eminent domain, and the fact that the money that is captured by all of these does not stay in the county or the community where the projects are taking place. Now, the reason I walk you through that is because I could go to Georgia and I could go to Nevada and I would have the same exact story that we’re talking about here with Colorado. And so what I’ve come to the conclusion, and I’m going to Carter County, Montana on Tuesday, we’re going to talk about the same exact thing and really just an extension of what that meeting was last week in Washington County, which I’m still very proud of what those people in Washington County are doing. But Kim, this long drawn out answer to your question is that this is not a Colorado issue. Colorado continues to be the tip of the spear, but we have a major attack on taking land away from individuals and putting that land into a collective state no different than what Russia did during the Bolshevik Revolution and how there were willing participants to go into that saying that we could just work for the state. We don’t need to own anything. And we know how that turned out. It turned out with famine and 30 million people dying. The same risk is in front of us today today. Because of all of these land grabs, they do not want individuals to own land and generate the essences of life from the land. That’s 100% what it’s about. It has nothing to do with green energy. It has nothing to do with sequestering carbon. It has everything to do with taking our land from us. Rewilding America is in full-blown press right now.
SPEAKER 13 :
So I think that takes us to the next question. One of our listeners had alerted me to this, and this is out in California. And I texted you this last night, so hopefully I’m not surprising you too much. And this is regarding the Point Reyes Park out in California. There’s been cattle grazing there. there for many, many years, but a settlement just was reached where there’s not going to be grazing there is my understanding. What’s your thoughts about all this?
SPEAKER 04 :
It’s the same scenario. There’s nothing different about that scenario than anywhere else. And the other thing that ties into every bit of that is that you see people and there are people that say, well, I have to take this money. I have to sign up for this easement because I can’t afford to pay my property tax plus the high input costs for what I’m getting on the commodities that I’m producing. That only happens when there’s an orchestrated event, and that’s the number one avenue to eliminate land ownership in this case, Kim, is that we’re going to increase Across the board, state by state, we’re going to increase property valuations. In fact, my wife Kelly just sent me a neighboring property close to us that’s for sale at $8,700 an acre. And that land three years ago was probably maybe $3,000. It’s irrigated farmland, so $3,000 to $5,000. But now it’s $8,700 an acre in central Nebraska. What happens as a result of that land sale is, is that valuations on neighboring properties all skyrocket. So the county commissioners could literally take the mill levy down, and yet property taxes will continue to skyrocket. What is happening is that they increase the value of the property that we own, which pushes property taxes to an unaffordable rate. They come along with some Inflation Reduction Act money or some other program that you can get in to pay. You get paid, and this way you can pay your property tax. And once you sign something for perpetuity on your place, you no longer own it.
SPEAKER 13 :
So I know that it is a focus of yours to reduce property taxes. Mine as well, because that is the way that they are basically taking our property. And my friend Susan Kochevar, who has 88 Drive-In Theater, her property taxes with all these different valuations went up last year. I think it was $14,000. She was at $14,000. It went up to over $40,000. And that’s not sustainable for people to do that. And so, yes, we’ve got to work on these property taxes. I wanted to go back to when you were down at the state capitol and you said that the director of energy, a bureaucrat, wants to outdo Colorado and get Colorado to net zero by, I didn’t write down the year, is it 2035? You know, another way that you do that is you just shut down the economy. You mentioned how many buildings in downtown Denver… They’re at net zero regarding – I guess they are trying to keep them warm, but they’re kind of at net zero because people are not renting them. And that is not sustainable because property taxes are not – is a way that – Governments get revenue. And, gosh, if these buildings are empty and end up being reduced in value significantly, I mean, they’re going to get the economy to net zero. But it’s not going to be a thriving economy, Trent Luce.
SPEAKER 04 :
Net zero. Net carbon zero is death. There’s no two ways to look at that. Without carbon in the atmosphere, your human body is 18% carbon. So without carbon, you’re dead. It’s that simple. There’s no in between. But let’s talk about the National Western again. The event has actually just literally been fantastic. The event itself and what has been accomplished and the crowds have been incredible. The first day set a record for a number of attendants. But as I talk to vendors and I talk to people who come to Colorado and spend money, every one of them will tell you that the cost, not associated directly with the National Western, but the cost of coming to Denver, Colorado, has grown so inflationary that there will be people considered not coming back simply because of what it costs. I’ll just give you a quick example. I had a phone that was in bad shape. And I had a moment where I could actually stop and talk to the guys who I get my phone from. They stopped me, and they had this great deal for the stock show deal, right? And they did. They treated me right. They didn’t do anything incorrectly. I got my bill, and it’s $200 higher than I anticipated it to be, what he told me it would be. So I chopped back over there the next day. I was like, this is $200 above what it is. He pulled up the sheet on what it was, and guess what that $200 was? All tax imposed by the city and the state of Colorado. That’s exactly what you just described in terms of net carbon zero and everything other than trying to promote a thriving economy. And let’s face it. Nowhere in the Colorado State Constitution, which I haven’t read, but if somebody wants to find and tell me I’m wrong, I’d love to see it. Nowhere in the Colorado State Constitution, nowhere in the United States Constitution than I have in my hand does it say the role of government is to incentivize business. And yet that is all they’re doing is looking for another program to tie people into so they are completely beholden to the government.
SPEAKER 13 :
And Colorado’s at the forefront on this. And, yeah, so it’s so important that we shed light on all of this. Trent, we’re going to go to break. When we come back, I want to talk about wolves. I also know that Gammy wants to give us a couple minutes regarding an update on some of the stuff that she’s seen. And so we do all of this because of our sponsors.

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. This year, my friends, we need to recommit to helping the USMC Memorial Foundation as they are raising the money for the remodel of the Marine Memorial. That is out at 6th and Colfax. It’s the official Marine Memorial. It was dedicated in 1977. And so it’s time for a facelift. And you can help Paula Sarles, the president, USMC Memorial Foundation, and her team. And get more information by going to usmcmemorialfoundation.org. That’s usmcmemorialfoundation.org. Trent Luce is on the line. He is a sixth-generation farmer and rancher. And, Trent, I did want to ask you about these wolves that were just a whole new set was released here in Colorado, and that is another assault upon property rights. You introduce, PBIs introduce a predator into the environment, and it attacks and kills your property. That is a direct assault upon property rights. And that is also an assault upon our food source. So what they’ve been pretty tight lipped about what they did exactly on this Trent Luce.
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, not in the world I live in because the fish and wildlife have been tight lipped. But I have a friend in Kremlin who knows the individuals where they were released. And if you’ll remember, Colorado voted on a ballot initiative to release 10 wolves over five years, which have been 50 wolves. Well, they released 20 this week. And I asked my friend from Kremlin, I said, how can they do that? How can they release 20? Well, they had 15 adults, and apparently one of the females had a litter of pups. And so those pups, what’s that purpose? releasing them into a completely strained foreign. What’s the odds that they’re going to even know how humane is that? If that’s what you really want to do, but you’re right.
SPEAKER 1 :
100%.
SPEAKER 04 :
It’s no different than the transmission lines in Pueblo. It’s no different than the proposed projects of CO2 pipelines in the Eastern Plains. It is an attack on animal ownership. And at every turn, What happens is the ranchers who deal with depredation, who deal with the stress of the predators that are released, they’re not profitable. Their costs continue to go up. And, well, yeah, there’s an indemnification fund, right? No, there is no amount of money a rancher will ever be compensated that will make it okay that his animals endure distress. We have been taught from day one in all of our programs that that we learn are about how can we minimize the stress impact on the animals that we produce for food, and then you release apex predator into that environment that induces stress like never before, it’s counterintuitive to everything we’ve been taught and we’ve been trying to do for 100 years.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, and I had heard that some of them might have been released in Pitkin County. Did your colleague?
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 13 :
So I think people up in Pitkin County, which normally I think they vote for these radical activist agenda things. I think they might be a little surprised when they start to have all these wolves in their county. What do you think?
SPEAKER 04 :
Oh, I agree 100%. And I am told. that there is a very influent landowner in Pitkin County that said, hey, bring them on up here. I’m fine with it. Again, an absentee landowner that doesn’t truly understand the land. But it’s his property. He can do what he wants. But it’s going to spill over and affect everybody else’s property.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah. And what do you think about there might be a ballot initiative to reverse this? What’s your ear to the ground say about that?
SPEAKER 04 :
I think that the reason the predator bill in Colorado failed, it’s about an issue last time is because there is an understanding with the majority of Coloradans that this was a stupid idea. We really wish we could take it back. And so if that is a potential possibility, I think it needs to be pursued rapidly.
SPEAKER 13 :
Okay. And the election results on that, it was Prop 114 was so razor thin. It was 50.91% in favor, 49.09% against. And again, we’re working on our Colorado 2024 election project. I think that we have some real challenges regarding our elections. And so with something that close, that’s really of great concern. Let’s get over here, Trent Luce. I know she’s a big fan of yours, and that is Gammy. She is so informed on so many different things, but she wanted to give us an update on some of the stuff that’s been happening, so she’s going to give us a two-minute synopsis on that. So, Gammy, welcome to the show.
SPEAKER 16 :
Thank you. Hi, guys. Hey, it’s Gangsta in the Trenches this week. I spent two days with Dr. Clemens and Ann VanderSteel and Viva Frye, of course, by computer as they covered the prisoners record and all the releases all over and 900 days the storm trooper group on the freedom corner which was a spot right by the jail in dc they called a gulag and they released them in small slow walk places worst of all worst of all What happened was Jake Lang didn’t get out the day before. I watched this for two days into midnight the first night and all day yesterday to last night. The elation, love, and families there waiting for their people and freezing to death outside while the police lined up to have a show of force for D.C. They made the Freedom Caucus. Representative Boebert, Chip Roy, and many others showed up. to defend and and the marshals to get them out and on some based secondary you know charges six of them didn’t get out by about eight last night they may get out today including the famous jeremy brown green beret so this was all nasty but what really is was happening thank god and vandersteel and viva fry gave up their whole sites for two days but here’s what what you need to know The immense violation of prisoners’ rights, deaths, rape, eyes poked out, beaten, Geneva Convention violated is so egregious that they do need a – I think they need to prosecute and expose and explore the real crimes because if they could do it to you – I mean to them, they could do it to all of us, right? So this isn’t over just because they were released, guys. This is just beginning because this ties to everything that you and Trent keep exposing, like the AI use of water and energy, the abuses. This goes to the fact that now the exposure of the crimes of the last two decades must be put out or we, the humans, don’t have a chance.
SPEAKER 13 :
Okay, Gammy, and thank you for sharing that with us. And yes, this is historic with the January 6th, 1500 were issued pardons and being released. And so it’s interesting to watch how this is going to transpire. But it all, the truth will come out. And Trent, we’ve got another caller on the line, and that’s Bill in North Glen. Welcome, Bill.
SPEAKER 06 :
You guys were talking earlier about the Wolf Initiative. There are putting forth a ballot initiative and i think that’s key in colorado we have the ability as the citizenry to rise up and i think trent had mentioned that something happened in south dakota regarding land grab or something we as citizens need to get up and let’s repeal this idiotic egg thing because we don’t want the little chicken upset because he’s in a cage let’s get rid of these grocery bag situation let’s take it to the people and let the people decide I know that the Republicans in the State House are planning a program, and they’re going to use it to repeal a bunch of these bills, but very likely they’re going to fail because we’re in the minority. But we need to do what Trump is doing. He’s a showman and come out and say, okay, these people denied you, the Coloradans, the ability to choose whether you want the chicken in the cage or not, and you want to spend $10, $15 a dozen for eggs or whatever. we need to do that and we need to be a little bit better with the media in Colorado. And I think that Colorado may not be as liberal as we think they are. I mean, for the most part, all these liberals are quite deranged to liberalism as a mental illness. But I think if we get some practical moves like ballot initiatives, I really think that the people would say, hey, this is reasonable and it’s common sense, just like Trump is doing now.
SPEAKER 13 :
Okay. Bill in North Glen, thank you. Great ideas. Trent Luce, we’re basically out of time, but great conversations today, Trent.
SPEAKER 04 :
It always is, and our goal is to inspire more people to stand up and be like Gammy and Bill, and we’ll do it one day at a time. Thank you, Kim.
SPEAKER 13 :
We will.
SPEAKER 04 :
I’ll be over for sausage and pancakes right after this.
SPEAKER 13 :
And Trent Luce, keep up the good work. We’ll talk next week.
SPEAKER 04 :
Thank you.
SPEAKER 13 :
And Martin Luther King Jr. said this. He said, if you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl. But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward. So, my friends, 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.
