Join Kim Munson as she delves into the critical issues shaping America today. From the dichotomy of freedom versus force to the principles of government and equality articulated by Justice Clarence Thomas, Kim presents a thorough analysis of current political landscapes. With expert guests and in-depth discussions, the show aims to provide clarity and foster informed conversations among listeners.
SPEAKER 04 :
It’s the Kim Munson Show, analyzing the most important stories.
SPEAKER 17 :
That seems to me like government is establishing a religion.
SPEAKER 04 :
The latest in politics and world affairs.
SPEAKER 17 :
If you give people rights, women’s rights, gay rights, whatever, there can’t be equal rights if there are special rights.
SPEAKER 04 :
Today’s current opinions and ideas.
SPEAKER 17 :
Surveys show that people still really prefer freedom over government force.
SPEAKER 04 :
Is it freedom or is it force? Let’s have a conversation.
SPEAKER 17 :
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 I get to work with. That’s producer Joe, Luke, Rachel, Zach, Echo, Charlie, Mike, Teresa, Amanda. And all the people here at Crawford Broadcasting, happy Tuesday, Producer Joe. Happy Tuesday, Kim. And we’ve got another great show planned for you, so fasten your seatbelts and check out my website. That is kimmunson.com. And while you’re there, sign up for our weekly email newsletter that goes out on Sundays. That way you’ll get first look at our upcoming guests as well as our most recent essays. And so be sure and sign up for that. You can email me at kim at kimmunson.com as well. And thank you to all of you who support us. We are an independent voice on an independent station searching 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 not compassionate, and it’s not altruistic to take other people’s stuff, whether or not it’s their rights, their property, their freedom, livelihoods, opportunities, childhoods, or lives via force. And force could be a weapon, but it could also be policy, unpredictable, and excessive taxation, fear, coercion, government-induced inflation, the agenda by the World Economic Forum. And the globalist elites that are playing that out in the United Nations right here at this Colorado State Legislature with this Colorado governor. And it could be land use codes and zoning regulations and forest fees, conservation easements, national monument designations, transmission lines easements, CO2 pipeline easements. All these things are taking property. And the right to property, the fruit of your labor, and tangible property, intangible property is inherent in the American idea. And that’s why we see those that want to take property take centralized control. That’s the opposite of this whole American idea. And remember, if something is a good idea, you should not have to force people to do it. An idea should be able to stand on its own two feet in this battle of ideas. And so that’s why we do the show, is to help you get your brain around these issues so that you can engage in this battle of ideas that is out there. And so I do appreciate each and every one of you. On the show, we focus on the issues, and we’ll mention the people that are pushing these issues, but we’re really working diligently to stay out of any of the personality fighting that can occur in life and particularly in politics. Our word of the day is, and thank you to Jenny for this, is insidious. And it’s spelled I-N-S-I-D-I-O-U-S. It’s an adjective. It could be working or spreading harmfully in a subtle or stealthy manner. It could be intended to entrap or treacherous, beguiling but harmful or alluring. And some of these bills down at the State House are really insidious. And we’ve got so much work to do to reclaim our state. And we are working on that. Today is the last day of the 2025 Colorado legislative session. And I know in a way we are breathing a sigh of relief. However, what has really happened is is that there’s all these boards and commissions and bureaucrats that have been given power. They’re not elected, and they have been given power to basically make decisions and push an agenda. And so we are obviously not out of the woods on this. We’ve got to engage in this battle of ideas with our neighbors and our friends and our family. So our quote of the day, and I went to Clarence Thomas because in the second hour, we’ll be talking with Scott Powell, who is a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute, regarding all of this judicial lawfare. And so I thought Clarence Thomas would be a great quote. And Clarence Thomas was born in 1948. in Pinpoint, Georgia. And he’s an associate justice of the Supreme Court since 1991. He’s the second black American to serve on the court. He was appointed to replace Thurgood Marshall, who died in 1993. And Thurgood Marshall was the court’s first black American member. Thomas was the second of three children born to Leola Anderson, subsequently Williams, and M.C. Thomas. Clarence Thomas’ parents wed as teenagers at the insistence of Leola’s father, and after Leola became pregnant with Thomas’ elder sister, Emma. The couple divorced in 1950, having separated in 1949. and MC Thomas was not involved in his children’s lives. And so for a time, Clarence Thomas, his mother, and his siblings lived in Pinpoint near Savannah, Georgia, in a house owned by Annie, their mother’s aunt. After the house was destroyed in a fire in 1954, his mother moved with Thomas and his brother to Savannah, while his sister remained with Annie. In the summer of 1955, Thomas and his younger brother, Myers, were sent to live with their maternal grandfather and his wife, Christine Anderson. Their grandfather within Savannah’s segregated black community, a comparatively wealthy entrepreneur, demanded that Thomas and his brother work hard and excel in school. Thomas’s autobiography, titled My Grandfather’s Son, a Memoir, attributes his own discipline and work ethic to the lessons imparted to him by Anderson. So here’s this little kid that was born in Pinpoint, Georgia. who is a justice on the United States Supreme Court. And he is, I would say he’s a constitutionalist. And he said this, he said, government cannot make us equal. It can only recognize, respect, and protect us as equal before the law. One more time. Government cannot make us equal. It can only recognize, respect, and protect us as equal before the law. And that is a quote from Clarence Thomas. uh this headline i’ve been watching this whole harvard story and i find it super interesting and we’re going to have amber from open the books on on friday because i wanted to talk about this but this headline is from, let me see, it is from Fox News. It says, Linda McMahon blasts Harvard in a scathing letter telling the elite university it will no longer get federal grants. Now, you look at this, and Harvard has a huge endowment, And it’s expensive to go there. And I had no idea that they were receiving this kind of money. And I don’t think they should. So anyway, this story goes on to say Secretary of Education Linda McMahon sent this letter to Harvard University President Alan Garber on Monday, not only blasting the Massachusetts Ivy League school handling of anti-Semitism on campus, but also advising school officials to refrain from applying for future federal grants because they will not be provided. And in her no holds barred letter, McMahon told Garber that the federal government has a sacred responsibility to be an important steward of American taxpayer funds, adding that the school has amassed a largely tax-free $53.2 billion endowment and receives billions of dollars in taxpayer funds each year. She said receiving such taxpayer funds is a privilege, not a right. Yet instead of using these funds to advance the education of the students, Harvard is engaging in a systemic pattern of violating federal law. And I find this refreshing, I would say. Joe, any comments on this?
SPEAKER 20 :
Absolutely, and I looked a little bit into this little section as well. I find it interesting when they were commented on the failure to handle the anti-Semitism. They said they’re a free speech campus, yet they were denying the free speech of some of the Jewish people there.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah, and I really don’t think that these universities should be getting state funds whatsoever or federal funds whatsoever. But let’s jump over here. Today is Election Day. For many of our special districts, our parks and recreation district, fire department, and on the line with me is Tyler Lineber, and he is running for South Suburban. parks and recreation director tyler welcome to the show hi hi kim how are you doing i am doing well and uh when i saw your name on the ballot i thought let’s let’s talk with him about this because these elections fly under the radar and i did research on the last time that there was an election for directors for south suburban parks and rec and the percentage of people that voted was very very low tyler
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, unfortunately, not many people know the elections happened because they happened in an odd time of the year in May and in off years.
SPEAKER 17 :
And it’s important that people actually pay attention to these because South Suburban has a significant budget. And so people really should be paying attention to it because it’s our taxes that are going to this.
SPEAKER 09 :
Exactly. It’s over $100 million and it exceeds City of Centennial’s budget, which is pretty surprising.
SPEAKER 17 :
That is surprising. So tell us a little bit about you, Tyler.
SPEAKER 09 :
So I’m an accountant by trade and a CPA, and I grew up here in Colorado, grew up in Littleton, not too far outside the district near Columbine, and I love the outdoors. I grew up as a Boy Scout hiking and camping every month and really enjoy protecting our outdoors and having our recreation, but also bringing, you know, financial accountability to the district and a little bit more fiscal conservatism that the district’s doing pretty well already, but want to keep it that way. And kind of bring in, make sure we keep those principles of limited government and, you know, fiscal accountability.
SPEAKER 17 :
Okay. And so what’s some, what would be one of the first things that you would want to accomplish when elected to the South Suburban Parks and Recreation Board?
SPEAKER 09 :
What I would like to do is they’ve been doing a lot of new construction, which makes sense because they have a lot of new development over in the Glowntree and the eastern part of the district. But wanting to try to slow down their issuing new debt to build all that new stuff and also to try to focus on the older infrastructure further west. A lot of residents have complained about facilities getting older and needing repair. So I want to prioritize trying to upgrade those older facilities and try to do so with less debt.
SPEAKER 17 :
Okay. Now, Tyler, I received my ballot in the mail, but not everybody did receive their ballot in the mail. So today is the day to vote. So how can people do that?
SPEAKER 09 :
So if you, you can’t, you can’t unfortunately request a ballot, but if you have one, you can drop it off either at Near me, it’s at the Goodson Center or the sports complex off of County Line in Quebec. Or you can go vote in person at the sports center, which is off County Line in Quebec. It’s that brand new big facility with ice rinks. And you can do that up until 7 p.m. tonight. And, yeah, it’s pretty simple.
SPEAKER 17 :
Okay. So when people – people can vote for three people, and there is quite a few people that are running for the board. So, again, what is – spell your name so people can remember that as they’re filling out their ballot.
SPEAKER 09 :
So there are a lot of names on there. So if you see my name, it’s towards the middle, and it’s spelled T-Y-L-E-R, Tyler. And the last name is Lineberr. l-i-n-n-e-b-u-r and there are a couple candidates in there that have been um that have dropped out so make sure you check their website the south suburban website and they’ll mark which ones have withdrawn so you don’t accidentally pick two others that have withdrawn and you only pick the ones that are um still running and then um yeah just look up the other candidates see you
SPEAKER 17 :
which other two you like, and then pick myself and those two. Okay, well, Tyler, thank you so much. And thank you for stepping forward and running for office. These are very important races. And they are under the radar, but they’re very important. And fiscal responsibility is something that we really need to make sure that we have in all of these different special districts. And so thank you for stepping forward to run for for office.
SPEAKER 09 :
Of course. I appreciate it, Kim. Hope you guys have a great week.
SPEAKER 17 :
Okay. You too, and good luck.

They have been sponsors for many, many years. and great friends and great sponsors so do appreciate them on the line with me is former state senator kevin lundberg he is also the author of the lundberg report which you can find at kevinlundberg.com kevin welcome to the show
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, thank you, Kim. It’s great being with you. And as we cover the legislative session, we’re just about done.
SPEAKER 17 :
We are. And it’s really, there’s some really bad stuff that came out of this. But let’s talk about the Lundberg report. You have the good and the bad and really the ugly on there.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, yeah, I added a couple of little categories of dumb and dangerous and woke.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER 05 :
Because some of them just defied, it just needed that extra clarification. But yeah, you know what I do is with every session, and I’ve done this for several years, and it turns into quite a task at the end because there are just so many bills. But as the bills are introduced, I check them out, and try to you know identify those that i think are extraordinarily good or extraordinarily bad and i leave a lot on the table because they go through hundreds and hundreds of bills and you just can’t track everything all at once but i ended up with about 110 bills that i’d identified somewhere there are 65 bad bills and and i think it was like 45 or so 43 good bills um And followed those every week for the report so that you know where it’s at in the process. And I try to give a little bit of a snapshot to people as to here’s where you can start if you’re interested in. following this because by no means do I give a complete analysis of anything. Occasionally a big bill comes out that requires a bit more description, but I try to be very concise so it’s not much more than a paragraph if that. And I found it to be a pretty useful tool. I actually started it just because I needed it for myself as a legislator. to identify what are the really big issues that we’re dealing with here. When you’re down there, especially, boy, the guys right now, they’re probably going late into the night, And a lot of shenanigans can be pulled at the end of the session because everybody’s kind of exhausted and overwhelmed with all of the different data. And that’s on a good year. I call this a really bad year where they’ve really been throwing a ton of stuff at you. And so I found for myself that I needed to write it down and I needed to track it. And then after getting out of the legislature, I realized this is a good tool that a lot of people could use. So if I can just keep this going, it will help all of us stay a little bit more abreast as to what’s happening. And that’s the Lundberg Report’s biggest job during session. Now, I’ll tell you, for the other eight months, I’ll be publishing articles. follow ups on it as well as other things that develop. But the real task is what we’ve been doing down for the last four months now, which is to follow what the legislature is trying to get accomplished.
SPEAKER 17 :
Well, and this is, I agree, I think the Lumberg Report is an excellent tool for people to be informed. And then also, I would recommend adding in Colorado Union of Taxpayers cut.
SPEAKER 05 :
Absolutely. Absolutely. I don’t want to diminish that at all, because you guys really focus in on kind of the financial aspects of the legislation, which is really the job we’ve got down there, is make laws and then spend the money to implement the laws. And you… Cut just really digs deep. And you’ve got a whole team. You know, I’ve got me.
SPEAKER 17 :
We do. And they’re all volunteers. And we used this great system called Bill Track 50. And so there were 733 pieces of legislation or resolutions that were introduced this session. We don’t need any new laws, I don’t think. We need to start repealing them. But CUT took positions on 261 of these bills. And I do want to say thank you to this team, Kevin, and really… When you see these people out there, say thank you because they have spent their weekends also doing this through this session. But when you see them, say thank you. Steve Dorman, Greg Golianski, Russ Haas, Bill Hamill, Rob Knuth, John Nelson, Wendy Warner, Marty Nielsen, Ramey Johnson, Mary Jansen, Dave Evans, Corey Onazorg, Paula Beard, and Ray Beard. And say thank you to them. And then Sue Moore and her team over at Liberty Scorecard, they also do a good job. I think between the three of us, I think that we cut through a lot of the stuff there and can get to the real heart of the matter on these issues. And so these three things, I think, are very good trusted tools. And that’s Kevin Lumberg, the Lumberg Report, the Colorado Union of Taxpayers. We’d love to have you join us. It’s only $25 a year. And Liberty Scorecard. So let’s jump into this. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, let me just add a little footnote to that, that Colorado is a bit unique in that respect. I mean, there are a lot of people digging deep into what’s happening in their state, but I really, and I do have occasion from time to time to find out what’s happening in other states because of a lot of responsibilities I have. And so it’s just that I’ve not found another state that has as much in-depth information grassroots digging around the laws. And part of that is because our legislature does have a website that does keep a lot of good information up there. So, you know, I complain about what they do a lot, but I will compliment them, their IP side that is working hard to make the information available and friendly. And then we can take and run with it and really dig deep. And so, yeah, of all the complaining we do, at least we’ve got some transparency at that level, both from the inside of the legislature providing the information and then those of us on the outside who are really digging down and saying, yeah, this is what’s there.
SPEAKER 17 :
I agree on that. However, with that transparency, they don’t really listen right now. This Colorado State Legislature and this governor’s office is being controlled by radical extremists. Oh, yeah. While they have this transparency, it’s really more that they’re just letting us know what they’re going to be doing.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, yeah, and let me say that that’s – I am very displeased with how the legislative leadership, the actual elected leaders, are handling a lot of the process. But the system that was developed that’s really truly their nonpartisan side of their staff has been doing a good job of making it available. And a lot of it is just the Internet platform that they developed for this. And they’re just plugging in the details. And, my, oh, my, I could go down a long time on complaining on how some of the summaries or the fiscal notes are kind of bent this way or that way. But as far as just finding out where are the bills, what are they saying, what are the amendments, they are pretty good down there. So, anyway.
SPEAKER 17 :
Okay, and let’s talk about the good bills. That’s going to be pretty easy because what you have in good bills, there’s maybe only a couple that did not get killed in committee. So anything you want to highlight on good bills?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, as I say, there are 40-some of those good bills, and these are bills primarily introduced by the Republicans. and summarily killed in the first committee. And there are a few exceptions to that. Occasionally, there’s an actual Democrat bill that is hitting on a good idea, and those usually go through, and there’s a handful of them, five or six. But You know, and then here’s one. This one, the first one that I identified, House Bill 1040, adding nuclear energy as a clean energy resource. And this was, I don’t recall who the sponsors were. I think it was a Republican sponsor. No, it was a joint one. Yeah, that’s outcome there. But it actually did something that back when I was on the Energy Committee Committee, In the Senate, I actually brought it up to the guy running the energy office at that time, Tom Plant, because he was talking about all the renewal energy things that they were promoting. And I said, what about nuclear? And he kind of stopped and sputtered and kind of like, well, I don’t know. We don’t want to talk about nuclear because that’s bad, isn’t it?
SPEAKER 15 :
Wow.
SPEAKER 05 :
Finally, finally, this bill was run this year, mostly by the Democrats. But there were a couple of Republicans on there. And it became law. The governor signed it. And so now they’re finally saying, yes, and nuclear is a good source of energy for our electric grid as well. So that was a good one that actually got through.
SPEAKER 17 :
OK, well, they’re not very many, but it’s I recommend that you go to Kevin Lumberg dot com and click on the Lumberg report and you’ll have all that information there. We’re going to go to break.

This came in from Eric on the text line, and he said that President Trump said free Tina Peters now. I’d not seen that come across the wire, but boy, that would be great if that happened.
SPEAKER 05 :
Absolutely. Absolutely. There actually has been an appeal to the governor to pardon Tina Peters. And actually, I sent in a letter myself on behalf of Tina urging the governor to, you might say, settle this travesty of justice that has occurred here in Colorado. We could go on and on on all this, but I’m encouraged that the president is showing some public attention to the whole thing. I know that It has been a troubling issue to many of us in a big, big way. There was actually an online – and I wasn’t aware of it until after the fact. I’m going to throw this in the newsletter for this week. There was an online rally on behalf of Tina a few days ago, and I suspect this may have come out of that as far as – just whipping up a little more attention to the whole thing. Governor Polis does have an opportunity to actually make a little bit of peace in this system if he’ll simply take that action that he has every bit of authority to do and pardon Tina. Don’t just free her, but pardon her. Because there was also an appeal that she be released on bond because she’s appealing her conviction. But really, the governor could could just step up and say, OK, I know we just agree on a lot of the stuff. But but but this former county clerk should not be. put in prison for nearly 10 years because she was trying to follow the law as she saw best. Now, I know they characterize it so differently, but this is the bottom line, is Tina had the responsibility to maintain the election records for a little more than two years by state and federal law. And she was doing her level best to do that, and the system just came down on her like a ton of bricks because they wanted to say no and they wanted to silence all clerks. And I’m not asking the governor to change his mind on anything except Tina’s case is beyond belief and in this country we shouldn’t be doing this to anybody and particularly Tina who has really held fast to the principles of what she has stood for, even in the face of her incarceration.
SPEAKER 17 :
She is, it’s a, as you say, it is a travesty on what happened there. And a lot of the evidence that I think should have been allowed to be introduced into her case, the judge did not allow that to be introduced into the courtroom. And so then she is convicted. She is appealing it but yet they did not let her get out on bond and uh in fact um put her in in the in prison at this particular point in time and for nine years and uh so uh and again um I’ll try to find this. And, again, Susan confirmed also what Eric said, that Trump is calling for her release. Having this conversation, having Trump get his eyes on this and having this conversation, I think is a very good thing, Kevin Lundberg.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, and also it should be noted that, what, maybe a month, six weeks ago, Attorney General Pam Bondi made the – directed i don’t recall if she if she put her name on it or if it was through the office but i know it came from the top down that they are looking into this case very carefully because there was a miscarriage of justice that occurred and you’re right the judge was um you know kind of like a hanging judge a don’t bother me with the facts. We’re going to convict this person. And so he, yes, refused to allow a lot of very pertinent information on the whole thing to be given to the jury. It’s top to bottoms, you know, start to finish. The Tina Peters case is completely And I was privy to a lot of inside information on how this was occurring as it developed. And I can tell you that the games that were played to persecute her were immense.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yes, they were. And thank you to Eric and thank you, Susan, for the confirmation. And yes, this is on national news. And President Trump 10 hours ago said free Tina Peters now. So that is that that’s a big developing story. And we will we will stay on that. So elections matter. I think that’s the bottom line. Elections matter. And the fact that, for example, out in Jefferson County, my friend Ramey Johnson ran for House District 30. and worked diligently, had a great team, and it ended up that Rebecca Stewart was elected to that position. Rebecca Stewart is an extremist Democrat, so much so that she was one of the sponsors of this House Bill 25-13-12. which, as it was introduced, would allow child protection services to take your child out of your home if they were having gender confusion, which that’s being fomented in schools. I would say in many of our educational systems, after-school programs. In fact, you told the story of Aaron and John Lee and their daughter Chloe in a very important film, artclubmovie.com. So elections really do matter because, and Rami Johnson had sent something out. She said there is no way she would have had her name on that bill. So elections matter. So this whole thing with Tina Peters, all these things are connected.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah. Yeah, very much so. Very much so. And actually, I served with Ramey in the House way back in 2003 when we were both elected initially. And then for her to throw her hat back into the competitive ring years later is a real testament of how she is. Ramey is really working hard still to try to change things.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yes, she is.
SPEAKER 05 :
And she’s one of your volunteers, too.
SPEAKER 17 :
She is. That she is. Question. I don’t remember the guy’s name, but it came in on the text line. Who is the judge on that Tina Peters case? Do you happen to remember his name?
SPEAKER 05 :
I do not. I do not. Yeah. We’ll have to check that out. Yeah, we’ll just have to look it up. But I’ve learned enough about it to be completely disgusted with WITH HOW IT WAS CONDUCTED THERE. OKAY. AND CAN I ADD SOMETHING? WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE GOOD BILLS, THERE WAS ONE GOOD BILL THAT PASSED THAT I THINK IS A VERY SIGNIFICANT ONE. AND IT BECAME THE GOVERNOR SIGNED IT. AND WHAT IT DOES IS IT ELIMINATES THE MENTAL HEALTH SCREENING OF ALL PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS IN COLORADO. And I think they did it just out of the reality that they can’t afford it because it was the Joint Budget Committee who actually proposed this good bill. But I think that’s a big deal because just far too much mischief can happen when all of the, quote, mental health experts get in there and start analyzing every public school student. I’m sorry, I don’t have much confidence in how that system is going to work out. And this was set up. I don’t know, a few years ago where they’re trying to literally get in and, you know, psychologically analyze the mental health of every child in the public school system. And they pulled the plug on it. And I think that was a very good bill that passed that repealed that whole thing.
SPEAKER 17 :
So is that totally gone then? Because I remember that bill as well. And I like you. I thought danger, danger on that. So did they totally repeal that bill?
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, here’s what they did in Section 12-245-217. It did say screeners conducting screenings pursuant to the 6th grade through 12th grade mental health screening program created in Section blah, blah, blah. They just pulled it out entirely of screening. OF THE LAW. SO IT’S REPEALING, YOU KNOW, THE TITLE, REPEAL OF THE 6TH THROUGH 12TH GRADE MENTAL HEALTH SCREENING ACT AND IN CONDUCTION THERE WITH REDUCING IN APPROPRIATION. AND IT’S THAT REDUCING THE APPROPRIATION THAT THEY WERE GOING AFTER. THERE ARE SOME GOOD THINGS WHEN THE BUDGET GETS REALLY TIGHT NOW IN THE CAPITOL. IT’S VERY RARE BECAUSE THEY DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO NOT REPEAL SOMETHING. Finally, one good thing did sneak through this session. But you mentioned 1312, which is that transgender bill that is, it was heard in second reading in the Senate yesterday. Four amendments were passed. Multiple amendments were offered. And those that passed, frankly, it’s a little too complicated for me to have sorted out this morning as to exactly what they were doing. But… I’m sure, because a lot of those amendments were from the sponsor of the bill, that it’s still a really, really bad bill that will be voted on by the Senate today, most certainly passed. Then it will be sent back to the House, and they’ll go back and forth as to how they finish it up. But this is a bad bill that it appears is headed towards the governor’s desk.
SPEAKER 17 :
So on that, Cut Engaged, we invested in something at Cut. It’s called Cut Engaged, where you can make your voice heard quickly. And go to the website. It’s coloradotaxpayer.org. On the top, click on Cut Engaged. And we started this in the middle of the year. And we selected different bills. 1312 is one of those. And you can make your voice heard within probably 30 seconds. Just go and find 1312 and click on that. And, of course, you can look at the other bills if you want to make your voices heard. But it will send the cut synopsis on the bill, what we said about it. If you want to add something else in, you can. And that will go then to the prime sponsors. if you want to add in your own state senator and representative we offer a tool if you don’t know who they are to put that in and actually you only have to do it once and then it will populate when you click on it on if you’re weighing in on other bills as well but we are really proud of that Kevin Lundberg. And I’m seeing a lot of listeners are using it. But just think, for 30 seconds, you can make your voice heard today before that is heard again in the Senate. And it’s a really neat tool that we created.
SPEAKER 05 :
Excellent. I’m glad to hear that you’ve got that. Now, it’s always more effective if you give a phone call to their office or you’ll write a letter and handwrite it. But email and electronic systems like this do help really send the message that not only, you know, that you think yes or no on a particular bill, but that you’re watching them. And they need to know that. You know, for 1312, there was a petition that about a little bit over 33,000 people signed saying this is a bad bill, kill it. And, no, they didn’t pay much attention to it in one sense. But in another sense, you know, two things happened. One, the legislature got a better picture as to what those folks were thinking. And number two, those folks knew that their voice was now being sent there to the legislature. And you become invested in the process when you start doing that. And I think that’s a great idea.
SPEAKER 17 :
Well, and so check that out, cut engaged, and very quickly before you head out for the day, you can make your voice heard on that. I did look this up, and the judge on the Tina Pierce case was Judge Matthew Barrett. And so that is the judge. Yeah, that’s over in Mesa County. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Okay, we’re going to continue the discussion, but be sure and reach out to John Bozen with Bozen Law if you’ve been injured.
SPEAKER 16 :
A serious accident or a life-changing injury can leave you with seemingly insurmountable physical, emotional, and financial challenges. How will you be able to afford your medical bills?

You can email me at Kim at KimMunson.com as well. Thank you to all of you who support us. We’re an independent voice. 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 do check out the Center for American Values. The kids are going to be out of school soon. And I would really recommend that you put it on your bucket list to take the kids down to the center. They do several different things. One of those is their Portraits of Valor, honoring over 160 Medal of Honor recipients with a quote from each of these men. And it really is inspirational. It’s a great conversation starter. And you can get more information about the center by going to AmericanValueCenter.org. The center is located in Pueblo on the beautiful Riverwalk. So be sure and check that out. On the line with me is former State Senator Kevin Lundberg. And he is the author of the Lundberg Report. And he also has a weekly call, which I know is very beneficial. It does happen to end up in just the end part of my show, but it is a very good call as well, Kevin Lumberg.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, thank you. Appreciate you acknowledging that with about the competition, you might say, but not so much. I mean, you you have a very broad audience on a on a powerful radio station and you reach the entire front range. And we have a Zoom call from 730 to 830 every Monday morning. It’s called the Larimer County Republican Breakfast Club because that’s how it was started about three decades ago by then Congressman Bob Schaefer. But with COVID, we went over to the Zoom format, and I’ve been the one running it for a while. And we have, you know, 60, 70, 80 people on there usually, and we discuss the issues of the day as very open-ended. We just start, we let elected officials introduce whatever they’re doing for a few minutes, and then we go to some announcements of events, and then we just start talking about the issues. And we always run out of time. You know, kind of like this radio spot we’ve got here, too. Yeah, and that’s available through KevinLundberg.com.
SPEAKER 17 :
Very good, KevinLundberg.com. And what do you want people to know regarding this legislative session, kind of the big takeaways on this?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, and actually this is a very key day. This is Tuesday, the day before the session ends tomorrow. And I understand the way – Bills are created. It takes each body a minimum of two days to get through the process for them. And so if you add that all up, they can’t push a bill through any quicker than three days. So we’re on the second to the last day. Finally, no bills can be introduced today. There will be no more surprises of that sort. Plenty of amendments and plenty of other things. They’ve got dozens of bills still on the table. I don’t know what the number is. It’s such a fast-moving target at this point. But Be aware that in the last three days of the session, and actually they can play a game on extending that a little bit, but a lot of the requirements for how a bill moves through the process are streamlined or eliminated so that they can call a committee meeting immediately. They don’t have to give 24-hour notice, but they still are held to… It takes two days, one for second reading and the second one for third reading for a bill to pass through either body, the House or the Senate. And so what they’ve got on the table right now is all they’re going to have. Now, they could pass a resolution at the very last, but that won’t have the force of law. That will be just a recommendation, you might say. This has been a terrible year with. extreme, extreme radical policies just being thrown by, you know, the gun control bills, the bills that are dealing with our schools and with the whole transgender world are just so far over the top. It’s been a year where they’ve had to try to tighten their budget, but unfortunately, they’ve just kind of perpetuated it by By stealing from funds and extending it next year is going to be real interesting because they’re going to run out of money. And especially if they stick with their sanctuary policies and the transgender stuff, I fully expect federal dollars will will slow down considerably. And so that’ll be interesting as we move along into the next legislative year. But for this year, these last two days are the big push. And for the good legislators, you need to kind of encourage them afterwards, too, because they are just paying an awful price on their late nights and their families. This is a real rugged time on their families, at least in Colorado. The regular session can go no longer than 120 days, and that’s why tomorrow is sine die, the final day. That’s the term they give to it, a Latin term that means something like the last day, I guess. But I’m looking forward to assessing this after it’s all done and try to figure out, okay, just, you know, what did pass. How did 1312 end up? What about 1309 that requires medical treatment to be paid for by insurance companies and state government for all the transgender mutilation of children? I mean, this stuff is just unbelievable. And abortion, by the way. I better mention that, too, that they pushed through some really bad bills in that area. They are just full force going hard left. Let me leave you with the silver lining.
SPEAKER 15 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 05 :
They’ve gone so far over that I know that the average Colorado citizen will shake their head in disbelief if they really figure out what’s been happening this year. So I’m looking forward to the 2026 election, too, because I think we’ve got some real opportunities to make some real differences. And stay tuned. It’s… I think better times are ahead in Colorado, but you sure wouldn’t know it if you looked at the results of this year’s legislative session.
SPEAKER 17 :
Well, and Kevin, let’s do this again. You’ve been on almost every Tuesday during this legislative session, and I really appreciate that. So let’s do a wrap-up again next Tuesday on this. Oh, good. Yeah, and then I think we really do need to hear from you for sure monthly because of all the work that you’re doing with Protect Kids Colorado, and so we’ll change the schedule up just a little bit, but we’ll have you on again next Tuesday for that wrap-up, and then we’ll get focused on all the things that you’re doing regarding our children, and I really do appreciate that. So, Kevin Lumberg, thank you.
SPEAKER 05 :
I look forward to it.
SPEAKER 17 :
okay and again kevin lundberg is doing such a amazing work and he’s he’s just such a great voice for colorado and he’s just uh the demeanor is so reasonable because he is so well informed and so that’s why we do this show that’s why he does what he does is so you can be well informed because once you know what’s going on then you don’t have to be into the yelling kind of stuff you can actually speak reasonably to people And so, again, check out KevinLumberg.com for all of that great information. And our quote for the end of the show is from Clarence Thomas and a Supreme Court justice and really a constitutionalist, I would say, at the original Constitution. And he said this. He said, to define each of us by our race is nothing short of a denial of our humanity. 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. My friends, you are not alone. God bless you. God bless America. Stay tuned for hour number two.

It is Tuesday and another great show, Producer Joe.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yes, ma’am. I’m excited to hear.
SPEAKER 17 :
We’ll talk with Scott Powell as our featured guest in this particular hour. And I did want to mention Hooters Restaurants, great sponsors of both the Kim Munson Show and America’s Veterans Stories. How I got to know them, it’s a really important story about PBIs, politicians, bureaucrats, and interested parties, and government control over private enterprise. And so that whole story is at my website at kimmunson.com. But they have Five locations, Loveland, Aurora, Lone Tree, Westminster, and Colorado Springs. And a great place to get together with friends to watch all the games as well. So again, thank you to Hooters Restaurants for their sponsorship of the show. Our word of the day, thank you to Ginny, is insidious. It’s I-N-S-I-D-I-O-U-S, an adjective. And it could be working or spreading harmfully in a subtle or stealthy manner. Number two, intended to entrap, treacherous. Or number three, beguiling and harmful or alluring. And there has been some insidious pieces of legislation that have been introduced and very possibly passed down at the statehouse. And we’ll give a wrap-up on the whole legislative session next Tuesday with Kevin Lundberg. Our quote of the day, I went to Clarence Thomas because he is a Supreme Court justice, and we’ll be talking with Scott Powell about judicial lawfare. And Thomas was born in 1948, an amazing story. He was born into poverty, and here he is. a justice on the Supreme Court. I really need to read this. His autobiography is My Grandfather’s Son, a memoir. He ended up living with his maternal grandfather and his grandfather’s wife as a child. His grandfather taught them discipline and work ethic. Those two things Together, it’s pretty difficult to not succeed if you have those two things. But he said this. He said, government cannot make us equal. It can only recognize, respect, and protect us as equal before the law. And then a couple of headlines. And thank you. Sandra and Yvonne also had texted, and I missed that text last night, regarding Tina Peters that President Trump has asked that she be pardoned by Congress. Jared Polis and so this is a developing story very very important and thank you to Eric also for alerting me on that and Susan I really appreciate all these texts that come in on the text line 720-605-0647 so that is a very important story and then the other story that I mentioned was was, let’s see here, Linda McMahon, who is the head of the Department of Education, had sent a letter to Harvard University President Alan Garber on Monday, blasting the Massachusetts Ivy League school’s handling of anti-Semitism on campus, but also advising school officials to refrain from applying for future federal grants because they will not be provided. And this is not the proper role of government to be awarding these different grants, to be taking money from the taxpayer and then doling it out to all kinds of different grants. As Jenny has said, that this government, federal government, grant money is like crack cocaine to a drug addict. And it’s the same with these different governments, whether or not it’s the local, the county, or the state level, or the federal level. We, that is not the proper role of government. And during break, Producer Joe said that he really hopes that President Trump will get this government back into its proper roles. And he’s working diligently on trying to make that happen. And we are we’re an independent voice on this independent station and we’re independent because of my great sponsors. And one of those sponsors is John Bozen with Bozen Law. And he’s on the line. John, welcome to the show.
SPEAKER 08 :
Good morning, Kim. So much to talk about. So many things to enlighten us with.
SPEAKER 17 :
So many things. So a question. It’s interesting. I was in the break room yesterday getting a cup of coffee. And I noticed this on the wall, and it basically was a notification to all employees. It said that if you’ve been injured, that you need to let the employer know within four days. And it looked like it was maybe a state statute. And so I know that you can help people if they’ve been injured on the job. So explain this to me.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yes, it is. And it’s one of those things that catches a lot of folks. You know, people don’t want to in general get hurt and they don’t want to get hurt on the job and they don’t want to be that person and that mentality needs to be thrown out because if something does happen while while a person’s working while they’re doing their job it is so important that they report what happened as soon as possible and and what what happens kim is um again somebody let’s say they slip in the break room they injure their back they hope believe in their mind that I’ll give it a little bit of time I don’t want to report this I don’t want to you know be that person and a week goes by and it hasn’t got better and then ten days and it hasn’t got better and then finally they come to the realization I better report this this isn’t going away and then there’s there’s going to be problems there’s going to be an employer Why didn’t you report it when you were required to? Or worse, and often it’s not the employer, it’s the insurance carrier for the employer, the work comp insurance carrier, that will then challenge whether or not it ever actually happened. And that’s where a lot of folks get in trouble. And so it’s, again, it’s one of those things I advise folks, call me right away. We’ll have a discussion. I’m going to tell that person, hey, send an email. call your HR department, meet with your boss, let them know what happened, let them know very specifically what happened, and get in, get seen by a doctor because time is of the essence in those situations, not just for the reporting purposes and making sure it’s recognized as a worker’s compensation claim, but so the person can get evaluated by a doctor and find out if it’s something that requires care and treatment, and obviously, or maybe not so obviously to most folks, the sooner you start to care for an injury, the sooner you can get recovered from that injury.
SPEAKER 17 :
Well, and so if someone has been injured and on the job, you help with workers’ compensation claims, what’s that number that people can reach you at, John Bozen?
SPEAKER 08 :
I’ve got three attorneys that are dedicated to him on work-related injuries or workers’ compensation claims, and folks can talk to one of those attorneys by calling 303-999-9999. And that’s Bozen Law, 303-999-9999. And you’re in the business of helping people when something challenging has occurred, John Bozen. That’s a good way to put it. Those life challenges, yes. And again, time is of the essence, folks. And whether it’s you, a loved one, a neighbor, a coworker, a family member, urge them to call me as soon as possible. That advice on the front end does really make a huge difference.
SPEAKER 17 :
It really does. And again, that number is 303-999-9999. John Bozen, we’ll talk with you next week.
SPEAKER 08 :
Kim, have a great rest of your show.
SPEAKER 17 :

Thank you to all of you who support us. We’re an independent voice searching 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 very pleased to have on the line with me Scott Powell. He is a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute, as well as the author of Rediscovering America, how our national holidays tell an amazing story about who we are. I’m doing that from memory, Scott Powell. Was I close on that title?
SPEAKER 10 :
You’re great, Kim.
SPEAKER 17 :
Thank you. Well, let’s talk a little bit and welcome. You have a very important piece that was published at Newsmax regarding this judicial lawfare that we are seeing. And you said Trump places nation security above judicial activism. And you begin the piece by saying that who would have thought that our constitutional crisis and breakdown in America would come from people in robes? This is pretty serious.
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, it certainly is. I mean, the first, the foundational understanding that all Americans should have is that we have enemies, foreign and domestic. In other words, we have enemies within our country. And some of them actually work in our government. They are working to subvert our system. And this is not conspiracy theory. I think we’ve all kind of woken up that the medical industrial complex, the military-industrial complex, the high-tech media complex. They’re inhabited with people that have close relations with the government, and they have misled the American people on very fundamental things that affect their lives. So judges, of course, we’ve all heard that George Soros has funded a lot of radical… district attorneys and judges. And for what reason? We can see it in what has happened. These judges are all liberal, allowing criminals to be sprung from jail, not even to go to jail, no bail, release criminals to the public streets to commit more crime. This is to bring on anarchy and decline of our country. And it’s focused on cities. They know they really can’t influence the heartland, but they sure can transform cities. And when cities become ungovernable, the nation becomes partially ungovernable. And this has been going on for years. And so now we have judges emboldened to stand up to the executive branch, which has the sole authority for maintaining justice. national security for being able to make decisive decisions timely decisive decisions with no uh… you know with with no with no necessary uh… in support from congress for a while and certainly not the judiciary the judiciary has no no say in national security and look illegal immigrants that have poured into our country many of whom are are are not just criminals and gangsters, but we have Chinese of military age in here. We have Hezbollah agents within our borders. We have cells of people who want to destroy critical infrastructure. I mean, we are facing an environment that may make 9-11 look like a cakewalk. We have that number of elements in our country that could carry out those things. We need to remove these people immediately.
SPEAKER 17 :
And that’s what Trump is trying to do. And it is remarkable, and I don’t mean that in a good way, that we have Democrat representatives. They’re supposed to be representatives of the American people. For example, there was a number, I think several of them, went down to El Salvador and to talk with the guy from El Salvador that was deported back to El Salvador because he was a gang member. And we had Democrats that went down to El Salvador to try to get him to come back. And we had a judge that said that we needed to bring this gang member, this criminal, back to America. I think most people look at this and go, common sense has left the room with many of these activist judges.
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh, absolutely it has. It’s absolutely true. So anyway, I think the article that I wrote, you know, drew on the founders’ vision. You know, the founders of our Constitution saw the judiciary to be the weakest branch of government. These are not equal branches, the three branches. The legislative and the executive are clearly to be stronger branches of the government than the judiciary. The judiciary’s role is limited to judicial review, to interpreting the law, the existing law, which would start with constitutional law. And the constitutional law gives sole authority to the executive branch on issues of national security. Because you need some—you need— You need someone who can act decisively when your nation is threatened. You can’t. There’s no time for committee discussions here. So one can argue that our country is under attack and that President Trump has the full authority to protect our country. And the American people want that. They voted for that. And the polls that have been made since he was elected, since he was inaugurated, have only gone up. in support for removing all illegal immigrants. Sixty-six percent of the American people support the deportation of illegal immigrants. That’s like a supermajority of American people.
SPEAKER 17 :
Well, I have to wonder why not everybody would support that. But going to your piece that was published at Newsmax, you said to put it in a context of the last 15 years, judges issued 12 injunctions against Obama during the eight years of his two terms. Biden was issued injunctions 28 times. And in Trump’s first four-year term, combined with the first three-plus months of his second term, judges nationwide have issued injunctions against him 84 times. And they’re clearly outside the realm of their responsibility from a constitutional standpoint. But I think what they’re trying to do is they’re trying to slow things down. They’re trying to get sand in the gears because they are looking – and when I say they, it’s this big movement. It could be Soros-inspired. They are looking at the 2026 election because their hopes are that they will – The radical extremists that have taken over the Democrat Party hope that they will take the Senate and the House, or at least one of those houses, so that they can stop what Trump is attempting to do, and that is to really reclaim America, I would say, Scott Powell.
SPEAKER 10 :
I fully agree with you, but I think the American people are waking up faster now than ever before. So I think that that is a fool’s errand, frankly. I think that the likelihood of the Democrats being able to gain power, pick up seats in either the House or the Senate is really minimal, unless there is massive vote fraud. And of course, there’s a major effort to bring honesty back to our electoral system nationwide. And that’s a big challenge. because the tradition from the founding of the country was that the rules of elections would be determined by the states. You know, the founders gave a lot of power to the states. The states actually had, in their mind, the states should have more power than the federal government. There was great fear about abuse of power at the time of the founding of America, and so they didn’t want to give too much power to the federal government. And so what we have today is such an aberration from the vision of the founders. We really live in an administrative state. Much of our country is run by agencies that are accountable to whom? Well, you’d like to think they’re accountable to Congress, but Congress doesn’t really have much to say. I mean, they’ve given them authority to create regulations that are really much like laws that govern everything from the environment to really everything almost. So we’re in a wake-up period and a corrective period, and it really can’t come fast enough, frankly.
SPEAKER 17 :
Well, I really think that we’re in the third founding of our country.
SPEAKER 10 :
I agree.
SPEAKER 17 :
Lots was happening 250 years ago at this time, 1775. Things were getting really hot regarding us declaring our independence. And what is remarkable, I think, Scott Powell, is that for the first time in history, This United States of America was created on a vision, this idea that all men are created equal with these rights from God of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. And ultimately with the Constitution is that they said instead of picking up arms against each other, that we would settle our differences with this representative government with free, fair, honest, and transparent elections. And that is the North Star vision. that we need to get back to, Scott Powell?
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh, absolutely. And boy, your folks in Colorado know that better than almost anyone else, at least the people that are paying attention. Tina Peters serving a nine-year prison sentence for basically doing her job, which was to investigate if there had been electronic vote fraud.
SPEAKER 17 :
Well, and Scott, you live in Florida, so you may not have seen this, but a number of my listeners reached out. And I guess yesterday evening or yesterday sometime, President Trump has basically demanded for her release and pardon. So this is huge.
SPEAKER 10 :
Wow. I did not pick that up. So that is wonderful news. That is great news. Great news for the nation. Great news for Colorado.
SPEAKER 17 :
And Colorado is… She’s really a hero.
SPEAKER 10 :
She’s not a villain. She’s a hero.
SPEAKER 17 :
I know. And we are at the tip of the spear. This city, Denver, a city that I loved, it used to be called Queen City of the Plains. It is in such decline, it’s almost unrecognizable now. And our state, and it’s because of these radical extremist policies that are being pushed. And so your piece is so important that is at Newsmax. And kind of your final thought before we go to break, and then I know we’re going to have just a few more minutes with you, because you’ve got a, you’re in high demand, Scott Powell, because you’ve got an immediate media hit right after us. So your final thought before we go to break.
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, I think people need to keep their spirits high. You know, we’re in a trial period, but oftentimes, you know, certainly the great figures of biblical history all went through great trials and crises before they really could be the leaders that God intended them to be. And we, the people, we’re empowered in ways that no other people of any other nation was empowered in. And I think that the most important thing for American people to recognize is that that we have a system that is grounded in truth, grounded in principles that work, that mitigate fallen nature, and really maximize the opportunity of the individual. And when individuals are free to be creative and productive, look what we did. We became the world economic superpower in 120 years from the ratification of the Constitution to The number one world power, it was only about 120 years. That’s like a stock car going from zero to 60 in two seconds when you look at it from an historical perspective. So America is a great country, but we are being challenged. But I believe that we’re in an awakening, and I think that there’s going to be a great revival.
SPEAKER 17 :
I think there is as well. So we’ll continue the discussion with Scott Powell. All these discussions happen because of our great sponsors and very pleased to have the Second Syndicate as a new sponsor.

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 shouldn’t have to force people to do it. And join me for lunch if you’re not a golfer. If you are a golfer, you’ll want to take part in the USMCA. Memorial Foundation Golf Tournament. But if you’re not a golfer, we can also go out for lunch to the tournament. And so that is next Thursday, the 15th. You can get more information by going to usmcmemorialfoundation.org and it is a great way to support the foundation, meet some great people, and of course have a great round of golf as well. So again, that’s usmcmemorialfoundation.org. I’m talking with Scott Powell. He is a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute and he is the author of a really important book that I think everyone should have. And grandparents, have this so that you can talk with your grandchildren about each of these holidays. And his book is Rediscovering America, How the National Holidays Tell an Amazing Story About Who We Are. And I would highly recommend that you all have that. at your home in your Freedom Library. So Scott Powell, we have limited time here. This came in on the text line, and you said the administrative state has taken over. So what exactly does Congress do right now? I don’t see a whole lot of action. How would you respond to that? Repeat that question again. Okay. The administrative state has so much power, and Congress has abdicated their power to many of these regulatory agencies, these bureaucrats. So what’s Congress do? What are these congressmen and senators doing?
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, they’re certainly not doing very much. They’ve ceded authority, and they can’t find their way to taking it back. But I think that… I think we need continuous turnover of Congress until we can return enough Congress people that really understand, appreciate, and want to see the Constitution upheld. So it’s going to be a long process, I think, but it’s just what we have to go through. There’s no shortcuts sometimes. And I think that people just need to continue to write their congresspeople and put the heat on them, pick some particular issues where there’s administrative overreach in the state of Colorado, and certainly you have quite a few issues there. We have issues. Yes, we do. So write your congressmen and write with courage and succinctness. Don’t write long letters. Make them short. But, you know, I think the Gettysburg Address rule, which is a rule that the Wall Street Journal applies to its letters to the editor, no letter to the editor should be longer than a Gettysburg Address. And I think that’s basically 230. I don’t even know if it’s 200 words. But anyway, keep it short and direct and make it repeated. You know, don’t give up.
SPEAKER 17 :
Well, I think that that’s really great advice. And again, I’d recommend that people get your book, Rediscovering America, How the National Holidays Tell an Amazing Story About Who We Are. And your final thought before we let you go.
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, I mean, I think that there’s certainly precedent for President Trump to exercise independence of the executive branch and override the authority of the judiciary. And that traces back to the, to the founding of the country and the constitution, the debates in the constitution and the, and the, uh, you know, the, um, Federalist papers, um, number 78, which is written by Hamilton talks about the weakness of the judiciary and the importance of both the executive and the legislature to answer to the people that is the people that rule America. So we just have to hold onto that and, uh, and exercise that authority that we rightfully have.
SPEAKER 17 :
So we have a responsibility, and it’s up to us to step up here and reclaim our state and our country.
SPEAKER 10 :
There are really no rights. We always focus on our rights, but with rights come responsibility. And I think American people have become fat and happy, and of course, Modern life is very crowded, so we’re also very busy that we really marginalize one of the duties that we have as citizens. But we need to make a little bit of time to exercise that authority.
SPEAKER 17 :
Well, absolutely. So, Scott Powell, as always, I greatly appreciate all that you do. And again, Scott Powell, a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute, and the book is Rediscovering America, How the National Holidays Tell an Amazing Story About Who We Are. You have a great day.
SPEAKER 10 :
Thank you, Kim. Thank you.
SPEAKER 17 :
Okay, and just a couple of things that I wanted to go through on the text line, and I love hearing from you, 720-605-0647. First thing was, from the last hour, a big thank you and shout out to the Republican Legislature. for all of their hard work, and to Kevin Lundberg. And yes, I think we all need to reach out to our Republican legislators and say thank you. When I was down at the State House last Wednesday for the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on this House Bill 1312, which is… And it has been apparently amended. And when Kevin said that they’re complicated amendments, my friends, we can’t be putting into law things that we can’t understand. And Madison said that the law should not be so voluminous that we can’t understand what they are. But we’ll do a wrap-up on that. But anyway, when I was down there, and I went down, Teresa and I went down about 10.30 for the rally. And then the committee convened at 1.30, and they had some other bills that they heard before at 13.12. So now we get to 3.30, and over 700 people had signed up to testify either online or in person. And not nearly as many had signed up for the other side. And Senator Julie Gonzalez, who was running the hearing, said that she was going to give equal time to both of the issues, even though many, many Coloradans had said that they wanted to make their voices heard. So she shut down a lot of those voices. And so she said that we’d have four hours from each side. To her credit, though, I’ve seen this occur, where they would pack first and hear first all the people that were in favor of the radical extreme bill. And then everybody else would have to wait. To her credit, she did go back and forth, support everybody. and non-support so I do laud her on that so it starts about 3 30 so that means that the committee hearing was going to go until 11 30 at night do want to give a shout out to Senator Lisa Frizzell and Senator John Carson the Republicans who did vote against that bill as well all the Democrats voted for it but I they they couldn’t leave I looked at Teresa at about eight and I said you know Gosh, I can’t stay here until 1130 and then have that 6 a.m. hit with the show. So we left around 8-ish or so. But we were able to put our comments in written testimony on that. So we did do that. But I want to say thank you to all of the Republican legislators for just all that they’ve done. Now, we are also holding the Republicans accountable, and particularly if you take a look at what we’re doing from the Colorado Union of Taxpayers, that we are always – we’re very nonpartisan on how we look at these issues, and we do hold these legislators accountable. And so but again, thank you to just just being there because they could not leave at eight o’clock. They had to stay there until the end of the committee hearing. And I do greatly appreciate them for doing that. Now, next question that came in. One of our listeners said this says, Hey, Kim, I just used cut engaged for the first time. for House Bill 1312 and opted for just using the default message. Is there any way for me to read the text in that email? And yes, you can go to Cut Engaged and you will see at the very top our commentary. It’s in the yellow box to the right. And so that is our commentary on that. And so you can find it right there. This also is coming in on the text line. It says, Polis is trying to do the same thing in Colorado and grow the administrative state, letting others do his dirty work. And that’s from Jenny. And this, she’s actually really nailing it, is that this ideology that is being pushed forward It’s not something that the people really – I don’t think that they really are wanting elected representatives to do. But elected representatives, what they do is they then create these boards and commissions that and then appoint people to these boards and commissions and have them make those decisions. I saw this with the planning commission is then the planning commission would make decisions and the electeds many times would have influence over the planning commission, but then they would hide behind, the electeds would hide behind saying the planning commission made this decision. And so they could kind of slough off their responsibility. So we’ve seen that not only at the local, but at the county, the state, and the federal level. That’s why we need to reclaim representative government where the representatives are accountable to we, the people. And so that’s really important. Let’s see here. There’s… I think that that’s primarily all of those things. And so we’re going to go to break. When we come back, we’ll hear from another candidate for South Suburban Parks and Recreation District. And also, I want to hear your comments regarding all the different things that we’ve talked about. But the show comes to you because we have amazing sponsors.

And then they also do some great educational programs for K through 12 students. and focus on these foundational principles of honor integrity and patriotism so be sure and check out their website that is americanvaluecenter.org americanvaluecenter.org it is election day and a lot of people don’t realize it because it’s may and it’s an off year but it is a pretty important election and it kind of flies under the the radar and uh South Suburban Parks and Recreation is having an election today and have another candidate. We talked with Tyler Lineber in the first hour, and Dan Murphy is on the line, and he’s running for position on the board as well. Dan, welcome to the show.
SPEAKER 07 :
Thank you.
SPEAKER 17 :
And so tell us a little bit about yourself, Dan.
SPEAKER 07 :
Okay, well, I first got involved in recreation in Lone Tree somewhere around 2010. 22 or 23 years ago when the mayor, Jack O’Boyle, was involved, was the mayor. And we had a pool that wasn’t working very well. We had tennis courts with weeds in them and no ball fields. So I decided to dive in in our own community. And South Suburban didn’t have the money at the time and neither did Lone Tree. So we passed a bond and the city ended up building all three of those things. And I was an integral part of that. And learned quite a bit along the way. Learned working with South Suburban, learned working with your city, learning how do you pass a bond in a very conservative county. And, you know, I’m proud of the work that we got done here in our city. And that was kind of my background of how I enjoyed recreation.
SPEAKER 17 :
Well, and South Suburban has quite a bit of money. These are really important elections. And I remember doing some research the last election for board directors, and the turnout was extremely low. But yet people are paying a lot of taxes to South Suburban.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yes, they really don’t have a good system there. That’s, I think, one of the first things almost every candidate would agree on is this thing where you have to get people to fill out a form, including their birth date. So some people are like, why are you asking me to fill this form out? I’m already registered to vote, but you have to fill it out in order to get a ballot from South Suburban. Then they send you a ballot back out. Then you’ve got to mail that back in. And if you do go vote, there’s only one place to vote in the entire district. The district’s pretty large, you know, going all the way from Beaumont all over to Lone Tree. So that’s not really a great, easy location for people to vote. So it’s almost like they are making it difficult to vote. And when you make it difficult to vote, you’re going to end up with 1 percent turnout. And that’s about what they have.
SPEAKER 17 :
Well, but again, we’re paying a lot in taxes. So today is election day. So if people are just realizing that there is an election today for the directors of South Suburban Parks and Rec, where can they go to vote?
SPEAKER 07 :
They go to the South Suburban Sports Complex. It’s 4810 South County Line Road. Most people are familiar with Big Bills or Los Dos. It’s kind of across the street from those places.
SPEAKER 17 :
OK, and and we have a responsibility, Dan Murphy, to vote. And I think people take it seriously. But again, it sounds like it is a little complicated. I I did get my ballot in the mail. And so I was finally I’d opened it up as I was realizing I want to get my ballot in. And I saw your name on there and I thought, well, I’d really like to hear from you. because I know that you’ve been very involved in caring a lot about parks and recreation for the people in South Suburban. So when elected as a board director, what’s one of the first things that you want to accomplish?
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, philosophically, I just think recreating keeps America healthy. We have this big national health problem, and I think it really starts at a local level, getting people out recreating. Right. So I generally out in the field, I guess campaigning, I think generally people think South Suburban does a pretty good job, but there’s always room for improvement. So I guess one of the one of the reasons for me running is that there is a new big park going out in Lone Tree that’s 80 acres. Right. And and so I think the board needs some representation from people who are out in this side of the district. Because I think if there was a big park going on in Littleton, I think a Littleton representative would know a little bit more about it than somebody else. So I’m kind of passionate about making sure that park goes very well and stays funded. Right now that park is only 25% funded. So the board’s going to have to make some tough decisions. Are they going to continue to fund that park? And I think the second thing that I would want to take a look at is there seems to be a fair amount of complaints about long lines at tea times ice times pools like in our own pool here in lone tree there’s a loan there’s a line to get in but yet there’s a lot of people from out of district that are in there when when the lone tree people and the south suburban people are paying or residents i should say are paying their taxes for that amenity but other people then unincorporated something or some place that’s not part of south suburban are filling up the pools the tennis courts the ice arenas the golf courses and I think that needs an overall look to see how we maybe balance that a little bit more to the South Suburban residents.
SPEAKER 17 :
Oh, I think that sounds like a good idea. So Dan Murphy, the election is today. People need to go to the facility, which is on County Line Road. And again, how do you spell your last name when people are looking at their ballot?
SPEAKER 07 :
M-U-R-P-H-Y. You got to go way down the ballot because I drew the ball at the very end as to where I am on the ballot.
SPEAKER 17 :
Okay. People can vote for up to three candidates, but that doesn’t mean you have to vote for three candidates. And so again, Dan Murphy, thank you so much for stepping forward. These elections are very, very important.
SPEAKER 07 :
Thanks for having me on and have a great day.
SPEAKER 17 :
You have a great day as well. And so I do want to hear from all of you as 720-605-0647. And lots been coming in on on the text line. And this is really a remarkable development regarding Tina Peters, that Trump is asking for Jared Polis to resign. Pardon her. So it’ll be interesting to see what happens with that. This is also this came in from Axios and says Colorado lawmakers want to expand immigrant protections despite sanctuary lawsuit. And this was another bill that cut engaged is one that you can weigh in on. And Axios goes on to say it says why this matters. It says Colorado is expanding safeguards for people living in the country illegally and what amounts to a poke in the eye for the Trump administration. And it says, the new protections will limit the federal authority’s ability to deport people living in the country unlawfully and likely reinforce the administration’s view that Colorado is a sanctuary state. And as Kevin Lundberg mentioned in the first hour, that means that probably, even though we’re having budgetary challenges here in Colorado, that probably that means that we’ll see a reduction in grants, federal grants to the state. But it says that goes on to say the Democrat led General Assembly sent Colorado Governor Jared Polis a bill Monday to further shield immigrants from being detained just days after the Department of Justice sued Colorado and Denver for their immigration policies. And it says the legislation prohibits local authorities and other officials from collecting and sharing data about a person’s immigration status, allowing cooperation only in criminal matters. It also says that it blocks arrests in courthouses, jails and prisons and prevents local officials from detaining a person on behalf of federal immigration authorities. Now, just think about this. that this is a place a courthouse a jail or a prison very possibly someone who hears illegally and is near these particular facilities this would be a good place to actually have ICE detain them instead of getting them out into our communities and so again It’s pretty amazing. And number three, Axios says this, other language eliminates affidavits regarding citizenship previously needed to obtain a driver’s license and in-state tuition and allows immigrants to challenge low-level criminal charges if they could make them eligible for deportation. And state Senator Julie Gonzalez, who I had mentioned earlier, was the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee. She said this, and she’s a Democrat senator from Denver, said the protections are crucial now. She said we are in time where due process is no longer a guarantee, depending on the color of your skin or where you might have been born. I don’t know that the color of the skin is really relevant to that. And in fact, we have a great quote from Clarence Thomas here for the very end. And so this particular bill, and I think that we had this on Cut Engaged. is Senate Bill 276, Protect Civil Rights Immigration Status. I think that you can make your voices heard by going to coloradotaxpayer.org and clicking on Cut Engaged. And I think that that was one of the bills that we selected on that as well. So Denver is in decline. Colorado is in decline. We have moved from being, I think, in the top five for… economic growth to 41st in the nation. We have got to reclaim our state. And one other thing I should mention on that Axios report, if you have a Colorado driver’s license, you are immediately registered to vote. And so that’s a real problem, as you can see, that that could have a lot to do with our elections. So stay tuned on that. We’re working hard on some new projects on that. So stay tuned. Our quote for the end of the show, I’d gone to Clarence Thomas because we had talked with Scott Powell about all of this judicial activism that’s been occurring in our country. And so I thought, let’s go to Justice Clarence Thomas for our quote. And he said this, and he is the second president. black Supreme Court Justice, and he is a constitutionalist, believes in limited government and adhering to our Constitution as the founders meant it to be. And he said this, to define each of us by our race is nothing short of a denial of our humanity. So, my friends, today be grateful, read great books, think good thoughts, listen to beautiful music, communicate endlessly 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, and God bless America.
