Join Kim Monson as she delves into the critical societal issues of our time, from the socialization of public resources to the battle of freedom versus force. Using insightful perspectives, Kim evaluates the real impact these policies have on our day-to-day lives, questioning the balance between government regulation and individual liberties. This episode provides a solid platform for understanding complex political landscapes in both a local and global context.
SPEAKER 02 :
It’s the Kim Monson Show, analyzing the most important stories.
SPEAKER 09 :
The socialization of transportation, education, energy, housing, and water. What it means is that government controls it through rules and regulations.
SPEAKER 02 :
The latest in politics and world affairs.
SPEAKER 09 :
Under this guise of bipartisanship and nonpartisanship, it’s actually tapping down the truth.
SPEAKER 02 :
Today’s current opinions and ideas.
SPEAKER 09 :
On an equal field in the battle of ideas, mistruths and misconceptions is getting us into a world of hurt.
SPEAKER 02 :
Is it freedom or is it force? Let’s have a conversation.
SPEAKER 09 :
Indeed, let’s have a conversation, and welcome to the Kim Munson Show. Thank you so much for joining us. You eat your treasure, 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, Amanda, and all the people here at Crawford Broadcasting. It is Monday, Producer Joe. Happy Monday, Kim. Happy Monday right back at you. And be sure and check out our website. That is Kim Monson, M-O-N-S-O-N dot com. And while you’re there, make sure you are signed 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. You can email me at Kim at Kim Monson dot com. I am a little behind on email, so I’m going to be getting started. caught up on that. I had out of town guests, which was great, but did not get everything done that I wanted to get done last week. The text line I do want to hear from you is 720-605-0647. So be sure and text me as well. Thank you to all of you who support us. We are 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 it’s not compassionate to take other people’s stuff, whether or not it’s their rights, their property, freedom, livelihoods, opportunities, childhoods, or lives. And force can obviously be a weapon, but it can be policy and unpredictable and excessive taxation, fear, coercion, government-induced inflation. The agenda of the World Economic Forum and the globalist elites played out through the United Nations, this legislature here in Colorado, this governor. And it can be land use codes, zoning regulations, easements, all of those kinds of things. Now, remember, if something’s a good idea, you should not have to use force to implement it. On the show, we focus on the issues, not personalities. Now, of course, we’ll mention the people that are pushing issues, but we really want to stay out of all the eighth grade girl fighting that can happen in politics in particular. Thank you to the Harris family for their goal sponsorship of the show. I really do appreciate them as well. Our word of the day is analogy. And it could be a similarity in some respects between things that are otherwise dissimilar. So it could be a comparison based on such a similarity and a correspondence in function or position between organs of dissimilar evolutionary origin of structure. And I pulled the word analogy because yesterday at church, the pastor was talking about some words in analogy. I do know that word, to draw an analogy between things. But there’s some other words I’m going to be using this week that I didn’t know. So I’ve got to think about how to use the word analogy in a sentence today. I’m going to work on that. The quote of the day is, At the end of the show is from Tom Landry. I was looking for cowboy quotes. As I mentioned, I was at – and so Tom Landry was the coach of the Dallas Cowboys and a great success. He was a football coach, player, and World War II veteran, and he’s regarded as one of the greatest head coaches of all time. And he – Let’s see, he was the coach of the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL for 29 seasons. And during his career, he created many new formations and methods. So I have his quote at the end of the show because we like to put the quote of the day out on social media. And Zach needs something shorter than what I am going to share with you. So that’s going to be at the end of the show. But I mentioned I had family in. from an out-of-town guest and ended up going down to the Flying W Ranch in Colorado Springs. And I’ve never been there all these years that I’ve lived in Colorado. I’ve never been to the Flying W Ranch. And it’s a chuckwagon dinner and a show. They had Native American dancing. It’s really delightful. And some people had given me a gift certificate for that, so we did it. But this was on the back of the ticket. And it’s my creed by Dean Alfonge. And it’s a little long, but I thought it was terrific. He said, I want to take the calculated risk to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence, the thrill of fulfillment to the state calm of utopia. I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any earthly master nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud, and unafraid, to think and act myself, enjoy the benefits of my creations, and to face the world boldly and say, this with God’s help I have done. All this is what it means to be an American.” And I thought that was absolutely amazing. And again, I highly recommend that you check out the Flying W Ranch in Colorado Springs. It is absolutely beautiful and I would highly recommend that. Next thing, we’ve been going through the 50 wins in the one big beautiful bill. This is from White House, thewhitehouse.gov, and this is the last of them. Number 46, it creates permanent fees that illegal immigrants must pay for their applications so Americans aren’t saddled with covering these costs. These fees will bring in over $77 billion to cover adjudication costs and fund immigration processes and enforcement actions. Number 47, it protects family farmers. The bill prevents the greedy death tax from hitting 2 million family-owned farms who would otherwise see their exemptions cut in half and cuts taxes on farmers by over $10 billion. Number 48, it ends abusive financing practices in Medicaid by freezing existing provider taxes and prohibiting new provider taxes. This ensures that states cannot improperly increase the federal government’s cost share of a state Medicaid program at the expense of taxpayers. Number 49, it reigns in the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. This was the brainchild of Senator Elizabeth Warren. It’s long functioned as another woke, weaponized arm of the bureaucracy with minimal accountability or oversight that leverages its powers against certain industries and individuals disfavored by the so-called elites. And last, number 50, it rolls back harmful Biden-era regulations that increase cost and administrative burdens with limited flexibility for states. These burdensome regulations, such as federal staffing mandates at nursing homes, lead to closures, reduced access to care, and increased costs, particularly in areas already overwhelmed by labor shortages. So that’s the 50 wins in the One Big Beautiful Bill per WhiteHouse.gov. And it is Monday, so it’s time for our weekly update from Jody Henze with Mint Financial Strategies. Jody, happy Monday. Good morning, Kim. Happy Monday to you, too. Well, there is a lot going on out there. And we had talked with Lorne Levy with Polygon Financial Mortgage Specialists last week about this pressure on Jerome Powell at the Fed and also pressure to reduce interest rates. What is your ear to the ground telling you, Jody Henzey?
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, I think it’s time. We haven’t lowered interest rates since last December. I know that a lot of my clients are eager. And I think the American people could use a little bit of relief. So I’m hoping that they decide to take some action when the next meeting comes up. So I think they should do it.
SPEAKER 09 :
And what I find interesting, Jody, is normally at least what I’ve learned in all these conversations with Lorne is that the Fed looks at data and then makes a decision on inflation, unemployment. But yet it looks like now Powell has also tried to use a crystal ball regarding keeping interest rates higher because he said concern of tariffs and whatever. What’s your thoughts on that?
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, I mean, it seems like the target is constantly moving. I mean, you know, at one point in time, it’s inflation and then it’s jobs. You know, inflation has been down consistently, you know, really since Trump took office. And, you know, I mean. When we think about interest rates, having low interest rates in a capitalist system is just a way for businesses to have access to capital. It allows them to hire more people, to invest in their business, to allow the economy to grow. For individuals, it allows them to buy houses, start a business, pay off debts. So when it comes to the data that they’re looking at, you know, it feels like there’s constantly a moving target.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, it does. And as you’re talking about this, another thing that I’ve learned is I look at all of these apartment buildings that are being built up and down the transit corridor. And what I’ve also learned is that many of these apartment complexes have received favorable financing from from the federal government what that means is lower interest rates than what everybody else has to pay that doesn’t seem fair so it seems that what should happen is everybody should should have the same access to capital yes oh i completely agree and again it’s kind of like this catch-22 because when we’re looking at inflation the biggest driver of inflation is housing
SPEAKER 07 :
And when you uncover or open up the hood, the biggest driver of housing is rent. And the reason that rent is going up is because people can’t afford to buy. Well, why can’t they afford to buy? Because interest rates are so high. So it’s this vicious cycle. Well, if we lower interest rates, then more people can buy, less people will have to rent, and that will bring inflation down. Aha.
SPEAKER 09 :
I like your thinking on that, Jody Henze. Now, the Fed meets, is it this Wednesday they meet?
SPEAKER 07 :
I think it’s the 28th, 29th, something like that. And then they’re supposed to come out with their decision on the 30th. OK, so it’s about a week out then on that.
SPEAKER 09 :
And I think it makes a lot of sense to lower interest rates as well. This would really, I think, be a boost to the economy. And I’m just thinking about young families, how this would really help them, Jody Henzey.
SPEAKER 07 :
I agree. I agree. We’re not looking for something that’s going to change the world. But, you know, using an analogy, we’re just looking for, you know, giving a runner just a little sip of water. That’s it.
SPEAKER 09 :
I love that. And you’re always so good about using the word of the day too, Jody Henze. At Mint Financial Strategies, you help people get to their financial freedom. I read this quote from the Flying W Ranch. And as I was reading it, I was thinking about you and economic freedom and lower taxes, lower interest rates, people being able to keep more money in their pocket is what then empowers people to go after their hopes and dreams. and you can really help people put together that plan to do so.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, I mean, we do comprehensive financial planning, so we really wear two hats. We put together the financial plan, and then we help people choose the right investments to make sure that they’re meeting their goals and objectives.
SPEAKER 09 :
So we do both. Okay, and the best way to reach you for a complimentary appointment is how?

And welcome back to the Kim Monson Show. Check out our website. That is kimmonson.com. The USMC Memorial Foundation is getting ready for their 48th anniversary, which will be August 23rd. It will host a special performance by Dave Bray, and the tickets are on sale now. And, of course, all of the proceeds go to the Memorial Foundation. as they maintain and are working to raise the money for the remodel of the memorial. And you can get more information about all of that by going to usmcmemorialfoundation.org. That is usmcmemorialfoundation.org. First headline to get to, this is from Town Hall, and this is absolutely huge. It says, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard made explosive claims that top officials from the Obama administration orchestrated a coordinated effort to sabotage President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and later his presidency in what she’s calling a treasonous conspiracy. Gabbard alleges that powerful political insiders weaponized intelligence agencies and spread false narratives about Russian collusion, not to protect democracy, but to block an outsider that they couldn’t control. Goes on to say, and this was yesterday, that Tulsi Gabbard revealed what she calls striking evidence from newly declassified documents released by her office on Friday, claiming they expose a coordinated Obama-era effort to set the stage for the Trump-Russia collusion narrative following the 2016 election. She described the revelations as historic, pointing to what she believes is overwhelming proof of a politically driven plot against Donald Trump. The effect of what President Obama and his senior national security team did was subvert the will of the American people, undermining our democratic republic and enacting what would be essentially a years-long coup against President Trump, she said on Fox News Sunday Morning Futures. It’s worse than even politicization of intelligence. It was manufactured intelligence that sought to achieve President Obama’s and his team’s objective, which was undermining President Trump,” she continued. Gabbard alleged that former President Obama and his top national security officials knowingly advanced false intelligence linking Russia to President Trump’s 2016 victory, even though prior assessments reportedly contradicted that claim. She argued that this effort not only misled the public, but also worked to undermine the results of a democratic election, amounting, in her words, to a year-long coup against a legitimately elected president. says creating this piece of manufactured intelligence that claims that Russia had helped Donald Trump get elected contradicted every other assessment that had been made previously in the months leading up to the election that said exactly the opposite, that Russia had neither the intent nor the capability to try to hack the United States election. So the effect of what President Obama and his senior national security team did was subvert the will of the American people, undermining our republic, and enacting what would be this coup on Trump. This is absolutely huge. She went on to say she plans to forward all the uncovered documents to the Department of Justice and the FBI as part of a criminal referral. The evidence released by Gabbard’s office suggests potential wrongdoing by several high-ranking former officials, including former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey, and former National Security Advisor Susan Rice, along with Obama himself. This is absolutely huge. One other thing regarding this Russian collusion narrative, and I need to go back and find this in one of the Trump-Hillary Clinton debates, is I remember when she threw this out regarding Russia and the election, and I thought, this is very odd. And so I think with artificial intelligence, hopefully I can easily find that. I’ve never really used artificial intelligence, so I’ll have to have Zach and Joe probably help me with that. But I felt that that was something that was very, very odd. And so this is going to be this is this is absolutely huge that a former president would and his top officials would do what Tulsi Gabbard said that they had uncovered. So stay tuned. This is pretty amazing. Next thing, and this is behind a paywall if you go to the Denver Post. But somebody sent me over where I was able to get it online. And this is also a big deal. It says consultants sought access to voting machines. This consultant claiming to work for the White House called several Republican county clerks in Colorado last week seeking third-party access to secure voting equipment, election officials told the Denver Post. At least 10 Republican clerks were contacted by consultant Jeff Small, officials said Wednesday. Small, who has Colorado political connections, told the clerks that he was working on the project for the White House and the U.S. Departments of Justice and Homeland Security. And he said he wanted the clerks to let an outside party access voting equipment to identify gaps. He also requested access because President Donald Trump’s administration was frustrated with the slow rollout of an executive order issued this year. Trump’s order sought greater federal control over elections, although a federal court last month blocked it. All of the clerks contacted by Small rejected the request, election officials said. Unauthorized access to voting equipment is illegal under state law, and for some clerks, the request immediately prompted thoughts that it amounted to the type of conduct that sank former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, who’s now serving a prison sentence. I’m sitting here going there’s a person spending nine years in prison here in Colorado for doing the exact same thing, said Steve Schleicher, the clerk and recorder in El Paso County. Says Small connected Schleicher with a Homeland Security official who sought access that Schleicher likened to hacking into voting equipment. Justin Grantham, the clerk and recorder in Fremont County, said Small called him July 9 and was looking for Republican clerks in Democratic states that would be in Democrat states. I have to remember, not Democratic, Democrat states. that would be willing to work with the White House and Department of Justice for bringing a third party to evaluate the security of voting equipment. This is all kind of messy, I would say, regarding this. And apparently, small is now associated with the 76 group, which is Josh Pendry’s group. And this is going to be very interesting to see how this whole thing plays out as well. So that is the next headline that I wanted to hit. This next one is from the Denver Gazette. And Denver releases a revised $935 million Vibrant Denver Bond Project list. This is unbelievable, as if Denver residents are not taxed enough. It says this bond package is a general obligation bond package, which what that means is a general obligation bond actually has… claims on people’s property to make sure that those property taxes pay a general obligation bond says this new version now includes additional input from members of the denver city council johnston office said in a news release but further discussions will continue in coming weeks when we had jason bailey on last week with no new debt citizens for no new debt I had mentioned a headline that I’d seen that said that some of the Denver City Council members seemed to be pushing back potentially on this bond request. And Jason said, well, I think that we’ll probably see some conversations about this and that ultimately they’ll probably support it. So anyway, it says we’re continuing to work on perfecting this bond package and making sure that what we refer to voters matches what residents have told us is most important, City Council Pro-Tim Diana Romero-Campbell said. This week, we’ve added several important projects across the city, including a future recreation hub. and Skate Park in southeast Denver. If approved by the council before August 25th, registered voters will see these questions on their ballot this November. So stay tuned on that as well. And we are no new task. I really… So no new taxes and no new debt, for sure no new debt. And so we’ll have to continue to shed light on all of this. And we do that because of our sponsors. And if you’re buying or selling a home, you want to make sure that you have Karen Levine on your side of the table.

SPEAKER 09 :
And welcome back to the Kim Monson Show. Check out our website. That’s kimmonson.com. We have Lauren Fix on the line. She is Car Coach Reports and everything regarding our freedom of mobility and what we have seen with the assault upon our gas-powered vehicles. is that it is really an assault upon our freedom of mobility. And so there’s been this push on electric vehicles with these incentives. And she recently published this electric vehicle meltdown truth bomb from industry insiders. Lauren Fix, welcome to the show.
SPEAKER 04 :
Thanks for having me. Yeah, there’s been a lot of changes going on. Some of it’s from the big, beautiful bill. Some of it is some of the executive orders that President Trump has done. Some are from the CCR, which is the Congressional Review Act. There’s been a lot of positive things happening to the auto industry that was struggling so badly under Joe Biden. And this is actually good for us. If you’re looking for a new car, you don’t have to buy it today. But if you’re looking for an electric car, you probably want to jump on that before the end of September because selection is going to start getting very limited. because people that want them are going to buy them. If you need them for a tax write-off for your business, maybe you owe a lot of federal taxes. This would be a way to help soften that. But if you’re thinking, I don’t want an electric car, don’t worry. There’s still going to be a lot of great choices, and you can thank President Trump for that.
SPEAKER 09 :
So what’s this going to do to the electric vehicle market? For example, Tesla, what’s going to happen? Are these companies going to survive, or what do you think?
SPEAKER 04 :
Some will survive and some will fail. I mean, you can go through every single vehicle, but starting with Elon Musk and Tesla. I think I call this kayfabe, and I’ve discussed this with you before. Kayfabe is what you used to see in wrestling when we were kids. You know, you saw that it seemed so manufactured, you know, so scripted. And it seemed sort of like that when… Elon Musk was in the White House, all seemed good, and then he says, oh, now he’s supposedly mad about the $7,500 tax credit. In reality, he’s not. And I’ll tell you why. If you’re looking at an electric car, Tesla will survive for multitudes of reasons. One of them is maybe that tax credit goes away at the end of September. He’s still in business. He’s producing here in the U.S. So the one big beautiful bill is allowing for a relief. for um for federal taxes and that’s excellent so that tax break will go to cars that are built in the U.S that are sold new and that’s up to a ten thousand dollars of of deduction off of interest on your loan and so you could purchase or lease a Tesla or any car made and finished here in with most of the parts being U.S you will get that tax deduction so my girlfriend just bought a Genesis uh, GB 70 just, uh, Saturday. And I said, did you ask about the tax credit? She said, yes, because it’s assembled in Birmingham, Alabama. And so she’s getting the tax credit. So you have to ask the dealers. They’re very aware of it because they know how to sell cars. And so they’re going to give you every incentive they can to get you to buy that brand before you leave. She was looking at another vehicle that was a German made vehicle and But the problem was it wasn’t assembled here. And she said and then she would have lost. She wouldn’t have gotten that extra credit. So those kind of things are happening. But as far as Elon Musk and electric brands that you either purchase online like Lucid and Rivian, Lucid, I think, is going to have a lot of struggles coming forward, which is a shame because it’s such a cool car. They’re starting to partner with Uber and some of the other companies. autonomous robo taxis that you’re going to start seeing slowly rolling out because there’s no regulation on that yet. And I’ll be covering that in an upcoming story on Car Coach Reports. And that’s very interesting to monitor because there’s no regulation right now. It’s a state-by-state regulation. Brands like Rivian, they supply all those Amazon ugly little vans that deliver your packages. So that may keep them alive. As far as the vehicles themselves, they might sell a few. But we’re going to see a big drop-off is the major brands, the Ford, GM. And any other brand that’s selling electric cars, they’re doing because they had to. They were forced to make something that consumers didn’t want. And there’s so many of them sitting on lots. Go buy a Ford dealer, for example. You’ll see a ton of lightning trucks and a ton of Mach-Es. Those are their electric SUV. Why aren’t they selling? Because the range doesn’t work for most people. You’re in Colorado. It gets cold. When it gets cold, the charging takes longer, it shortens the range, and it doesn’t work for everyone. Maybe you charge at home and you just go back and forth to work. It’s a short distance. You can charge at work. That works perfectly. But because of the limitations for most of America and the lack of charging stations, They’re sitting on lots. So once that tax credit goes away, I think you’re going to watch a lot of brands cutting way, way back. They’re not talking about it publicly. But when we have these conversations, we go to these we call drive events where we get to drive the newest version of whatever brand or model. I always try to sit next to one of the executives and just have a casual chat off the record, as we say. So I won’t say anybody’s names or brands. But I will tell you, they’re all very aware of this going on. They’re all planning ahead. And within the next two years, you’re going to see a lot of hybrids, which means you get the electric part when you need it, maybe up to 30 miles of range, and then it’ll transition to gas. And the electric part only works below 30 miles an hour. So it’s good for getting you off the light, onto an on-ramp, making a pass. But after that, you’re back on the gas. And that will give you good fuel efficiency. I will forewarn you, though, hybrid vehicles are wonderful. But they’re great to lease because once you’re outside the warranty and something goes wrong, that expenses essentially two engines. You’ve got a motor and you’ve got a gasoline engine. And you need to keep that in mind. If you’re leasing, fantastic. Lease a new car for three years, you’ll be happy as a clam. But if you’re thinking about buying… That’s one thing I fair warn people. But overall, as far as electric vehicles, Tesla will survive. They own 60% of the market. Number two in electric vehicles in the U.S. is Hyundai. And that’s Hyundai, Kia, Genesis all under the one group. They’re going to cut way back on their offerings, but they’re only going to sell what they make money on. And none of them make money on that. So it’s going to really cut back on the offerings. You’ll probably see like the Kona EV and small little vehicles that are electric, much like the Nissan Leaf, which hasn’t been doing that well, but they have a new version coming out in September.
SPEAKER 09 :
So, Lauren, right now, this window regarding EVs, someone could get the $7,500 tax credit and then also this $10,000 on interest on a loan. Can they get both those things?
SPEAKER 04 :
no i don’t think that’s going to be the case because i don’t think any of these electric vehicles other than tesla maybe on tesla you could probably do that actually if you’re really smart and you really you’d have to work it properly if you purchased a tesla you’d probably get both you’d get the big beautiful bill discount plus the tax credit if you could swing that boy you’d be paying nothing for the vehicle especially if you owe a lot of federal taxes If it’s state taxes, again, check with Colorado, because they said they’re giving you $2,000 or $2,500, but if the funds run out, and the funds have run out in California, New Jersey, and many other states, you’ll go to apply on your taxes and there’ll be no funds left to offset that. So make sure you double check that. But if you’re smart, you can also get a charging station, which is a $1,200 credit that goes away at the end of the year. So if you’re really looking to work the system, this could be to your advantage.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay. And how long does it take to charge a vehicle these days?
SPEAKER 04 :
That depends on each vehicle. So there’s different charging infrastructures. So if you have access to, you own a Tesla, you can charge up to 80%, which is typical. It’s not like your phone where you plug it in at night and it’s 100%. Well, it usually can get up to 80%. To get that extra 20% takes a lot longer. So most of these batteries like you to cycle up to 80%. So you can go in 20 minutes on a fast charger, you can have 80% of your battery. So if you have access to that. Now, a lot of it, it’s called the NAX system, which is N-A-C-S. A lot of brands like Ford and GM and Hyundai and Kia and a bunch of other brands have I think Mercedes-Benz has it now. Volvo has it on their 26-model lineup, which they are cutting back on their lineup here in the U.S. because they’re owned by a Chinese car company called Geely, and that’s a problem. But overall, if you’re looking at charging quickly, there’s two different versions. There’s an 800-volt architecture, super, super fast, like Tesla, Mercedes-Benz, and their EQ line. Many of the fast chargers, which includes Hyundai and Kia and Genesis, Then you’ve got the 400-volt architecture that’s a little slower. It’s going to take you about 40 minutes to charge to 80%. So if you’ve got the time and you want the savings, that would be like the Fords, the GM, the Nissan, Latham, things like that, where it’s a little slower charge, a Toyota BZ. They’re going to be a little slower to charge, but you’ll still get your charging. If you can sit at home, this is where it’s long. It can be between $11,000. And 14 hours on a dryer outlet. Not your regular wall outlet, like on a special charging port. That’s a long time. I’m never home for 11 hours where I sit around going, well, I’ll just wait for the car to charge. Some people are. Some people are home all day long and then they go out and get their kids from school and all that. So make sure that you look into the infrastructure. If you can put a charger in your home and it must be installed by a certified electrician and you have to, you must let your insurance company know. If you don’t let them know that you’ve installed this and God forbid you have a fire, you will only get about 80% of the coverage in your home. And there’s tons of lawsuits across the country with people who failed to let their insurance company know they had a fire at their home. burned part of their house and they did not get all of the money that they thought they were going to get from their insurance policy. So please contact your insurance agent if you are plugging in an electric car in your home.
SPEAKER 09 :
So… Lauren Fix, what we are seeing here in Colorado is a public policy that’s bumping up against really freedom of mobility. And it’s not just Colorado. I know that many different municipalities are trying to get people into rental units, apartments, up and down, transit-orientated corridors. Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER 10 :
Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER 09 :
And then also you’ve seen this push California, Colorado to push people into EVs now. And we also are having in Colorado, in Denver, that I think that they’re starting to approve some apartment buildings with no parking spaces anymore. And this freedom of mobility and so pushing people to EVs, but if you’re in one of these apartment buildings, there’s no way that there’s enough charging stations in these apartment buildings for people to charge their cars. This is a bumping up against really freedom of mobility for people.
SPEAKER 04 :
Absolutely. And you are correct. So while you’re looking at the push and the pull, they’re actually tricking people. And this is a problem. So look at this new 10 minute cities. You don’t have to go anywhere. You can go down from your apartment. You can get your coffee, your dry cleaning. There’s a grocery store. Everything you need is right here. But everybody needs to get in a vehicle at some point to go somewhere, whether it’s to the airport or whatever it might be. And or. Run an errand or whatever it is. The problem is if you have no place to park your car, that means you have to park your car off-site. And a lot of these apartment buildings are being built without any parking. So that doesn’t mean that you have a parking lot outside. That may mean no parking at all. So that forces you to take an Uber. Now, that may work. That may not work, but mass transit doesn’t always work on your schedule. It doesn’t get to your exact destination, especially if it’s like a doctor appointment and you’ve got your kids or you take your dog someplace. There’s a lot of limitations. So people are very unhappy with that. It sounds great on the surface. It sounds like, oh, I don’t need a car. I’m going to save money. That’s good until you need to go somewhere, and then you realize it’s going to be expensive because Ubers and Lyfts and all these type of robo-taxi type things are expensive. And it adds up quickly if that’s your only form of transportation. I used to live in Manhattan. I lived in a pre-war building. There was absolutely no parking. You parked on the street. We all fought for parking spots. There was offset parking. In other words, two days a week, you had to be on the other side of the road. And if you weren’t, you got a ticket. And it wasn’t a low ticket. It was like over $100. Or they’ll tow your vehicle if they can’t clean the street. So this is partly what they do to make it difficult for you. It’s sort of along the lines of road diets. All those four lane roads that became two lane roads with a center turning lane and a bike pad all sound wonderful. But you have snow like I do. Other than Buffalo, New York, we have snow. And when it’s snowing, people aren’t using the bike pads. And so what ends up happening is people get very frustrated. You watch them passing across the center lane. You watch them passing in the bike lane. And this is part of what they did. They did this to frustrate people to say, I’ll just take the bus. Well, the bus doesn’t work to get everyone to where you need to be. It does not work for everybody in what we all do every single day. And everyone has a different lifestyle. And then with the lack of infrastructure for charging, especially in downtown areas, that means you’d have to drive off-site someplace to get charging, assuming someone didn’t just park their car there for the night. Assuming that charger works, which I have found a lot when I travel all around the country, we’ll get an electric vehicle to test. and we always find an electric charging station and we get there and there’s like four or five chargers and there’s always someone who just parked their car and they’re gone i don’t know if they’re coming back i don’t know if they’re right there they’re certainly not within eyesight range then there’s always one or two that aren’t working and that’s a problem and i’ve had problems with brand new cars with charging stations at work where you plug it in and it says will not charge to this vehicle and it’s not a tesla charger it’s just because of the relationship of some of these vehicles the software they have and some of these charging stations And you have to pay for charging. So I could wait while all chargers are full, waiting for someone to come back to their vehicle. They don’t care if it costs them extra for leaving it there plugged in and it’s fully charged. That means I have to wait or I have to find another charging station. And it causes charging anxiety. So before you think electric vehicles are the answer, look into it and talk to people that have EVs. Not just one, but many people. Most people are frustrated and they’re not going back to it.
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s really about freedom of mobility is ultimately what it comes down to. We’re going to continue the discussion with Lauren Fix, Car Coach Reports. You can find her Car Coach Reports at substack.com. And freedom of mobility has been, it’s inherent to freedom, I think, to be able to go where you want to, when you want to. And Americans like that. And that has been really important. under attack. And we see that the Trump administration is trying to get this, I think, turned around. So we will continue the discussion.

SPEAKER 09 :
And welcome back to the Kim Monson Show. Be sure and check out the website for the Center for American Values. has started a new podcast series, and you’ll want to check that out. He has a great perspective on some of these really important issues, and you can find that by going to the website of AmericanValueCenter.org, AmericanValueCenter.org. Talking with Lauren Fix, you can find her at CarCoachReports at Substack.com. We’re talking about EVs. And you recently published this, Lauren, that the deep state strikes again. Judge blocks Trump from cutting EV cash. So what’s the latest on that?
SPEAKER 04 :
Right now, every time President Trump signs an executive order or even when he signed the big, beautiful bill, little segments of that, each of these crazy federal judges who are always appointed by Obama or by Biden say, oh, no, you can’t do that. So when can a local judge or a federal judge from the state say, overpower what the Supreme Court and the president wants. We elected the president. He won by a large margin in both popular vote and the Electoral College. Therefore, we as the people have told him, do what you say you’re going to do. And this judge is like a child on a playground who’s mad that you won’t play with them. And they are doing everything they can to make it more difficult. And the funny thing is, is Trump knew this was coming. And he’s got a staff of high quality attorneys and someone like Stephen Miller. I love listening to him. He is just brilliant. And he just says, no problem. We got this. And then he just makes these federal judges look like fools. And the Supreme Court comes down on them. What we need to do is remove these federal judges. And the only way that’s going to happen is because they’re stepping outside their boundaries. It’d be like a first grade teacher going to the first, fourth grade class and telling them what to do. That’s not your class. Go do what you’re supposed to do. And instead, they’re putting their nose in someone else’s business. So this is pretty much the same thing. But what happens is we need to get rid of these federal judges. And the only way to get them to step down or force them to step down is one way. And that means we would have to win on the midterms. If we can get more House of Representatives, including from the state of Colorado, we can take over more of the Senate. We can pass a lot of this. If we lose in the midterms and more Democrats come in, they’re going to waste tons of time with lawfare going after President Trump for silliness, trying to do the same. We’re going to say we’re going to impeach him, the same BS we went through last time. And so it’s really important that while you think we got Trump in office and we’ve got a lot of good people, there are a lot of people that need to go. There’s a lot of people that need to be impeached. removed that are on the Republican side that are really not. They’re pretending to be one of us that want freedom, but they really don’t because they’re getting paid on the side by a lobbyist. So a lot of this stuff, we have to start opening our eyes and we have to go and vote in the midterms in order to get rid of judges like this. who are stopping the agenda that we the people voted for. We voted for this. We weren’t appointed. You know, we didn’t appoint someone. He appoints lawyers, and a lot of these federal judges are appointed. So we need to clean house so that when President Trump is done with his term, I mean, I know Steve Bannon says he’s going to run again. I don’t know what’s going to happen, but whoever is the next president will put it that they can get through the agenda that the people ask for, not what some individual wants.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, and what we are seeing, I think, with these judges is that they’re trying to put sand in the gears to get to the midterm elections. And their hope is to either take the House or the Senate or both, because if that happens, then they basically can stop the Trump agenda. which the Trump agenda is focused on helping everyday Americans thrive and prosper. And when everyday Americans thrive and prosper, people across the world thrive and prosper, Lauren Fixx.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, I agree with you. Yeah, that’s exactly what they’re trying to do. They’re trying to slow walk everything, including some of the appointees. I know that President Trump posted over the weekend, hey, don’t go on vacation in August. Appoint these people for us so that we can get this government rolling at a higher level. But you can see what he’s done already is quite dramatic. I mean, compared to what we had, I just saw a report this morning that I was kind of surprised that Buttigieg, who was in charge of the Department of Transportation, mind you, that’s my area of expertise. that he spent $80 billion on all these DEI grants and to delay air traffic control upgrades, which we need, not just at your airports, but on a total U.S. basis. I’ve been on airplanes where we’ve said we’ve had to redirect. I’ve been on airplanes where there’s no traffic controller. I mean, it’s scary, and then you hear about it afterwards. You’re thinking, oh, great, I was on that plane, or I know people that were on that plane, or I could be on that plane. And then we’re seeing things even like the Alaska Airlines said last night during the night that they’re not going to fly. All this is because the previous administration was wasting money on silliness instead of things that protect people, whether it be the roads or in the air or on the rails. And this is the kind of thing that getting President Trump back, you know, the support he needs on the midterms is going to be so critical. I know you talk about it, not with me typically, but with other guests. It’s going to be really important not to ignore the midterms and to get out there and vote like we did for President Trump.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yes. And so changing gears, no pun intended, is Jenny texted me. I see all these electric bikes and I was talking with someone that said they’re actually pretty dangerous and. In fact, I was on an airplane and was sitting next to a woman who said that this was one of the first times that she had flown because she had broken her back on an electric bike. But she said they’re giving tax credits for electric bikes. I did not realize that.
SPEAKER 04 :
Oh, yeah, that’s part of the food judge program. They’re trying to get people out of cars. Like you were saying, apartment buildings that have no garages. Well, you can get around on a scooter or a bike. They’re very dangerous. I know they’re all over the city in Denver. They’re also all over the city in New York. And every city I’ve been to, every major city, and they just dump the bikes. And you can trip over it. I’ve almost tripped over one in Austin, Texas myself. But they just dump the bikes and go because they’re rentals. They’re like a line wire or something where you go from one bike, you rent it, then you use it, and you leave it. It sounds great on the surface, but a lot of people think that they can drive on the streets and drive on the sidewalks. It’s very dangerous to the people. We’ve had a lot of incidents and a couple deaths where these scooters run in front of cars and they think that the car is going to stop. You don’t have the right of way. It’s the same thing as if you’re walking. Cars have the right of way. You ride against traffic so they can see you, but people don’t. People that ride these bikes, ride them on the sidewalks. It’s extremely dangerous. And breaking your back is is a wake-up call to, hey, you’ve got to be really careful on these things. And no one wears helmets, even though we’re supposed to. But what I find also interesting, and you’ll notice this now that I mentioned it, there’s a lot of people that have these bicycles. They’re bicycles with these big tires. Those things are really expensive. They’re over $1,000 a piece. Even with a tax credit, who’s funding these? Because I see a lot of people that have them that you might question how they have them. I’m trying to be nice on how I present this, but… There’s a lot of people who maybe come from other countries, shall we say, that somehow have these bikes given to them. Who’s paying for that? Is that our tax dollars? I’d like to know that. And there’s no way to find out because everyone seems to have them. I don’t have one. You probably don’t have one. But they’re everywhere. So keep in mind that there’s going to be a lot of new regulations coming out. New York City has tried to regulate removing these electric scooters. because people are getting hurt. They’re jumping in front of cabs. I mean, you can’t hit the brakes fast enough. And you as the driver are responsible. You’re like, I couldn’t move that. Nobody could move that fast. And unfortunately, when someone gets killed or hurt, It’s very serious, and it falls on you as the driver as well as them, the scooter rider.
SPEAKER 09 :
But also, even if you have the right-of-way as a driver, if you run into somebody and hurt them, there’s still something that happens to you, even if you were not in the wrong on that. We’ve got about 20 seconds left, Lauren Fix. Quick wrap-up on this.
SPEAKER 04 :
Okay, I’ve got a lot of new content coming out. I just posted a story about the big beautiful bill and where you can save money and what qualifies. So you can check it out on my sub stack or you can go to my YouTube channel. If you the videos on all of that car coach reports, if you’re looking for car reviews, I review everything electric, not electric, whatever it might be. It lives on cars and car smarts. I’m also gonna be putting a story out this week. That’s how automakers are asking Washington to get out of the way so they can get some new regulations to remove some of the regulations to make cars less expensive. You’re going to see a lot of new content coming out. So, you know, please make sure to subscribe, follow. We appreciate the support. I’m a one man show, so it’s all being done.

That’s Producer Joe, Luke, Rachel, Zach, Echo, Charlie, Mike, Teresa, Amanda, and all the people here at Crawford Broadcasting. Happy Monday, Producer Joe. Happy Monday, Kim. And this is a big show. We talked with Lauren Fix in Hour Number One, Car Coach Reports, and about freedom of mobility. This assault upon our freedoms is so significant. So check out the website as we will have recaps and podcasts of the shows there. The show comes to you 6 to 8 a.m. Monday through Friday. on all KLZ platforms, KLZ 560 AM, 100.7 FM, the KLZ website, the KLZ app. And then you can find the show on Spotify and iTunes as well. The first hour is rebroadcast 1 to 2 in the afternoon. Second hour is rebroadcast 10 to 11 at night. Let’s see here. What’s the next thing? Our word of the day is analogy. It’s A-N-A-L-O-G-Y. could be a similarity in some respects between things that are otherwise dissimilar. And their example was seize an analogy between viral infection and the spread of ideas. And then their second definition of comparison based on such similarity as made an analogy between love and a fever. And number three, correspondence in function or position between organs of dissimilar evolutionary origin. structure and our quote of the day is and I know Lucy had asked for this I’ll try to get that to her but this is I had out-of-town guests and had received a gift certificate to the Flying W Ranch in Colorado Springs and they have a chuckwagon dinner and And a great show. And they have been doing this since 1953. And pretty amazing. And the dinner show, in fact, Colonel Rutledge had told me that the Sons of the Pioneers had performed at the Flying W Ranch. But they have five wranglers that are great musicians. And then they have these days beautiful videos that go with the music that’s being played. And one of the songs that they did was America the Beautiful. And, of course, they encouraged everybody to sing with them. But the images were so beautiful that they had and the words were so beautiful that I got choked up and I couldn’t actually sing. Sing it. But anyway, this is my creed by Dean Alfonge. This is on the back of the tickets of the Flying W Ranch. He said, I want to take the calculated risk to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence, the thrill of fulfillment to the state calm of utopia. I will not trade freedom for beneficence, nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any earthly master, nor been to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud, and unafraid, to think and act myself, enjoy the benefits of my creations, and to face the world boldly and say, this with God’s help I have done. All this is what it means to be an American. And that is, again, on the back of the ticket at the Flying W Ranch. I would highly recommend that you check that out. And we get to do all of this. And can’t wait in the second, third, and fourth segment to talk with Marlee Hornick with Unite for America, which is formerly known as United Sovereign Americans. And we have these discussions because I work with amazing people. And I’m talking with Roger Mangan with the Roger Mangan State Farm Insurance Team. And, Roger, I learned so much in all of these conversations. And I’ve heard some things about state’s guarantee funds and insurance. What does that mean? What should people know about that?
SPEAKER 13 :
This primarily applies to life insurance, health insurance, annuities. And you really should look carefully at where the company you may have those products with are now financially. There are some companies that are teetering. I don’t want to mention the name of a company, but I’m going to give you a quick example. I had a policy with this company, and… I thought, you know, I don’t need this policy anymore. It’s a life insurance policy. So I pulled some money out, surrendered the policy, and felt pretty good about that. And it even felt better when I found out this company was being taken over by the state insurance commission because they were going bankrupt. In receivership, anyway. They weren’t literally going bankrupt, but they were in a position where they had to would not allow me to take my money out. There was a cap of I could take $100,000 out of this account, surrender the policy. And then the death benefit, had I died, the death benefit would have been limited to $300,000. And it was a million-dollar life insurance policy. So I’m paying all these premiums all these years, and all of a sudden I find out this company is not solvent. So you really should, if you have these products, call the agent who is servicing those products and find out what’s the relative strength of the companies that are holding your policies. Now, there is a National Association of Insurance Commissioners throughout the United States. Most insurance policies are regulated, almost all insurance policies are regulated by the individual states. There is no federal government involvement, thank God, because we know when the feds get involved in something, it usually becomes very, very complex. So here’s the, in Colorado, if you have a life insurance policy and you die and the company that you had the policy with is in trouble financially and it happens, the maximum death benefit guarantee is $300,000 in Colorado. And if you surrender the policy and you have $40,000 of cash value, you can get it. The cap on that is $100,000 in Colorado. So if you surrender a policy and it’s worth $200,000 in cash value, you’re only going to get $100,000. So it behooves you to check up on the status of the companies you’re with. Health insurance, same situation. $500,000 in hospital, medical, and surgical insurance benefits are guaranteed by the state guarantee fund. You can run through $500,000 in a serious illness pretty quickly, as you know. So make sure that health insurance company is healthy financially. Disability insurance, there’s a $300,000 cap. And long-term care insurance benefits, a $300,000 cap. And then any other types of health insurance benefits have a $100,000 cap. And lastly, annuities. A lot of people have a lot of money in annuities. But there’s a cap of $250,000 in withdrawals and cash value if the company is not solvent. So check it out, please.
SPEAKER 09 :
That seems like really good advice. So call your agent and check on the financial structure of any of these particular products. Roger, just a quick story. We were talking as we were preparing for this, and you had a Kim Monson Show listener that made an appointment with you, a complimentary appointment. What happened?
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, he walked in, and unbeknownst, it wasn’t really an appointment. We take people without appointments, so I don’t think you need one. And he came in and introduced himself to me, and I turned him over to Stacy, and she worked with him for about 45 minutes to an hour. And he was so exuberant because his premiums were cut in half. State Farm was half the cost of the company he was with. And we never know how you are going to come out in terms of a quote. So we would love to quote you. We could save you, in most cases, a substantial amount of money. So take some time and give us a call. Let us give you some coaching and some quotes. Absolutely.

Marlee Hornick, welcome to the show.
SPEAKER 08 :
Good morning, Kim. Thank you so much. We sure do have big news because it’s time to file a new brief in our lawsuit against Colorado state officials, Jenna Griswold and the Attorney General. And we are actually in a really unique position because thanks to your help and the help of many of your listeners, we have a piece of evidence to submit inside of that filing that shows it really demonstrates that election officials are not bothering in the state of Colorado to verify the identity of voters before counting their votes. So that brings up the question, Why bother having an election at all if you don’t care who votes?
SPEAKER 09 :
And so, again, thank you to our listeners and our followers who last year contributed and raised the money to get this lawsuit filed. And you’re going to have a big news conference tomorrow where you’re going to be mentioning some of this stuff, right, Marlee? Yes.
SPEAKER 08 :
We sure are. Yeah, we’re going to be going over it in some detail, but certainly it’s really important that your listeners especially understand what it is we’re going to be presenting. So I’m here to have a great discussion. And go into it however you want to. I think we should talk about the study that we did. Okay.
SPEAKER 09 :
So, yeah. First of all, let’s set this up. I had included some information that I’ve sent out to potential funders regarding the 2022 election, that there was 1.4 million facially incorrect. I don’t know if that’s correct. That’s the right word. Registrations here in Colorado or unpack that for so people can understand that Marley Hornig.
SPEAKER 08 :
Absolutely. Sure. It sounds complicated, but it’s really quite simple. So when an election or when a voter applicant is added to the statewide voter registration list, some of the issues inside of their registration record are considered critical or material to knowing whether or not they are actually qualified to vote and qualified to be in that database in the first place. And the problem that Colorado has is that a large number of these critical pieces of information are either missing or obviously false. Now, let’s go into that a little bit for example in the state of colorado during the period of the 2024 election there were 628 000 people in the database whose their official record maintained by jenna griswold shows that they were registered to vote after they voted which is obviously a false date it is impossible There’s no way someone can go through a valid registration process after their ballot is received and counted. And when it happens, you know, maybe 10 times, there’s probably a reasonable explanation. When it happens 628,000 times, that requires an investigation. We have to figure out, is somebody adding false data to the database? Is the database management system faulty? But there’s no way to tell the difference when you just look at a piece of paper of how many of those are legitimate and how many of them are coming from some other issue, whether it’s a problem in the system, whether it’s outright fraud, whether it’s a breach of the data systems. Nobody knows. It’s impossible. But the arrogance of Jenna Griswold and some of the other election officials in Colorado is to dismiss it out of just immediately. Just on site. Nope, that’s totally fine. We know why that happened 628,000 times just by looking at your piece of paper. And that is unacceptable.
SPEAKER 09 :
So we’re now talking about the 2024 election. And what we initially on the lawsuit that was filed last September is we were referencing it’s Unite for America. You’re doing a name change as well, correct? Unite for freedom dot com. Yep. Unite for freedom. OK. Unite for freedom dot com. Got it. OK. Unite for freedom dot com. So the basis for the lawsuit initially was the analysis that was done on the 2022 election. And but now this amendment will be regarding the research that was done on the 2024 election. Correct.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, they’ll both be on the lawsuit because one of the arguments we made in 2022 was, judge, take a look at this mess. Take a look at this administrative disaster. Who’s allowed to turn their taxes in looking like this? And yet we’re using it and accepting it as the basis for our national sovereignty. And we said, you know, if you don’t do something about this, if you don’t order the state to figure out what the heck is going on here, it’s going to happen again. And, of course, in 2024, it did happen again. So we haven’t removed anything from before. We’re just showing the judge we were right. It happened again. The problems are a little bit different than they were in 2022, but nobody knows why, because nobody ever bothered to look into the first disaster.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay, so could the 628,000, we have same-day registration, voter registration on those 628,000 people. That’d be a whole lot. But could that be what the problem is?
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, that’s 20% of your vote. That’s 20% of your vote. One in every five voters register to vote on the day of the election. And supposedly that means that the registration date is in the future. It just doesn’t add up, Kim. It’s not acceptable. We can’t. Take, you know, the election officials can’t wave a magic wand in front of us and put us back to sleep anymore. We’re done. They can’t tell us they know why that happened. And you got another problem. You got the same thing inside the rolls at the time of the election. For some reason, 644,000 people who voted in the 2024 primary have had their voting history changed. deleted their vote from the 2024 primary that was in there before is gone 644 000 times that is a a gigantic hole you could drive an entire fleet of semi-trailers through and somebody’s got to figure out why that happened and not just tell us to go away call us election deniers and shove whatever representatives they want in our faces and tell us that we chose them. This is over.
SPEAKER 09 :
So this is clearly not the goal standard, which is what we have seen with people on both sides of the aisle here in Colorado that have basically patted us on the head and said, there’s nothing to see here, move along, nothing to see here, move along. And that’s why these lawsuits that we got filed are so important. Now, the 628,000, you said that in their official record that they were –
SPEAKER 08 :
not registered till after they voted do i have that correct correct yep and uh and out of that pool about 45 000 of them voted specifically in the 2024 election but their votes are otherwise spread through a variety of elections but largely 2020 2022 and 2024. You also have, you know, this interesting phenomenon. So if they’re not worried about that because they can definitely prove it 628,000 times line by line, then how come we also discovered 33,000 people whose registrations were backdated to vote in the primary? I mean, this is literally chaos. It’s mayhem in the records. No corporate filing would be tolerated in this disarray. No individual personal taxes would be accepted in this kind of disarray. And again, what are we doing with these records? We are securing our national sovereignty through our representation in Congress, in this case from the state of Colorado. It is not okay.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay, so this 628,000 is separate from this other number of 644,000 that had their voting history deleted, correct?
SPEAKER 08 :
Yep, and that’s separate from the 33,000 that were backdated, and it’s separated from all the other ones, too. It’s really odd. It’s just bizarre how election officials, they’re willing to die on this hill that this data is somehow defensible. And this is the only record, Kim, that exists. You could take a rocket ship to Mars with Elon Musk. There is no other federal document that records the official list of voters and the official list of votes counted from those voters. This is it.
SPEAKER 09 :
So the 644,000 with their voting history deleted. So what is that voting history? It’s not who they voted for, but that they voted in previous elections, or what is that history?
SPEAKER 08 :
It just means that they had previously had a vote recorded for the 2024 primary election, and it’s gone. And they’re editing a federal election post-facto over half a million times. Why? You can’t tell me. I mean, the standard explanation that they attempt to wave us away with is, well, those are people who moved, died, or committed a felony, and so their voting history went wherever they went. So you’re telling me that since the primary election in Colorado until December… 644,000 people in Colorado relocated? I don’t think that’s plausible. I think that’s not even as many people as are leaving New York and California combined in a year’s period. It’s just not, they can’t just say it. They have to prove it because our national sovereignty is on the line.
SPEAKER 09 :
This is really fascinating, Marlee Hornick. Let’s go to break because I want to understand this even more. And again, this is really late. This is this is late breaking news.

SPEAKER 09 :
Welcome back to The Kim Monson Show. Check out our website. That’s KimMonson.com. Talking with Marlee Hornig. She’s a co-founder of Unite for Freedom, formerly known as United Sovereign Americans. And because of all of you listeners and our followers, we raised money for a lawsuit that was filed. Let’s see here. It was filed on… September 10th of last year, and it was based on the 2022 election results where it said there was 1.4 million facially ineligible or uncertain registrations, resulting in 100,693 improperly counted votes and 34,000, almost 35,000 more votes counted than votes reported. And that is the lawsuit that was initially filed, and then we’re going to be adding in what you found regarding 2024 this i quote these numbers and people say how could this be how did you do this research on this marley hornick yeah well just i just want to validate everybody who wants to know how could this be because that’s exactly what we want to know uh and and just to
SPEAKER 08 :
tell everybody a tiny little story. It started in New York in 2021 when we discovered over at New York Citizens Audit that the state had certified an election with 356 or something like that thousand more votes counted than they had any record of voters who voted. So This is the question. How can this be? And how come the state officials have no interest in answering that question or even exploring the question? When did we get to this point when they have no curiosity to explore these questions and make sure they are doing their duty by the American people to administer legally valid elections? Now, I have just already, because I just was thinking about this, I forgot what the question was you asked. Can you ask me again?
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, I think one of the things, so I know that many of your volunteers have presented this information at city councils, county commissioner meetings. They had gone to Jenna Griswold. And there wasn’t – she just basically thumbed her nose at this because there was no legal action taken. And that’s why, again, thank you to our listeners and followers for contributing the funds to get that lawsuit filed. But one of the first things that’s going to happen is, in essence, shoot the messenger. You’re going to see officials – and I’ve really seen it on both sides of the aisle that have said nothing to see here – They’re going to try to discredit how you got this information. So how did you get this information? And obviously, it’s the basis of our lawsuit.
SPEAKER 08 :
That’s right. That’s right. I’m sorry. So how did we get this information? It is so simple. We asked for a copy of the official statewide voter registration list in Colorado, which is a federal document according to the Help America Vote Act. it is the official list of statewide qualified eligible citizen voters for the state of colorado we asked for it from the custodian jenna griswold she sent us a copy this happened multiple times because some of our work involves kind of cross-analyzing multiple copies from different date stamps but that’s how we got these records We asked for the list of registered voters and the list of voter participation, the history. And she sent us those documents and we studied them and we extracted these numbers of clearly deficient registration records straight out of those documents. That’s it. Who did the work? People who are experts in computer technology, people who are auditors, analysts, big data programmers and developers. And we had a large team. We have had as many as 95 different people volunteering their credentials to assist that team over two years. And they peer review each other’s work. We never publish anything without making sure that the team agrees that the accuracy is solid and that this is literally what the records show. And then we publish. And then we send those reports to the state officials when they invariably, as you say, red or blue, it doesn’t matter. They invariably scoff at us and dismiss us. Then we send everything over to the FBI and the DOJ. Now, under the Biden administration, we got nowhere. Under the new administration, we are developing some relationships in the administration inside of the DOJ. So that’s all I can say about that. But There is genuine concern about what we’re showing.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay. Going back to you said that 644,000 of voting histories were deleted after the 2024 primary, correct? Am I getting that correct? Yeah. It seems like why would you delete it? Even if somebody moved, wouldn’t you just note on there moved or if they died, you’d say deceased?
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, I’m going to tell you why. It’s called vote laundering. That’s why. It’s fraud. The issue is nobody knows who’s doing it, nobody knows how it’s getting done, and nobody in the Colorado state government either A, wants to admit it’s happening, or B, seems to care. And that is an outright conspiracy against the rights of Colorado voters to to have their votes fairly counted in a legally valid election, which is a constitutional right. It is the only constitutional right. In fact, every other right that you love and cherish is in the Bill of Rights. This is the only one in the Constitution, and it’s literally the third sentence. You cannot have America without legitimate representative government. Go ask. Ask James Madison. Ask Thomas Jefferson. Ask them what they think about this. You will be astonished when you read their papers and their writings and their speeches on this topic. It doesn’t exist. We don’t have a country if we don’t have legitimate representative governments.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay, next thing I’m wondering, Colorado has always, within the last several election cycles, has had a participation rate of voters, which I thought’s pretty amazing. And so I’m looking at something called Colorado Newsline, and it said that, let’s see, I thought that it said that there was about 81% participation by Coloradans. That’s pretty high, isn’t it?
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, that’s a lot of enthusiasm. It’s not impossible. You know, again, there’s two things going on here. There’s things that are suspicious and there’s things that are unacceptable. And so, sure, it’s suspicious if 81% of Coloradans are turning out. It’s possible. It doesn’t prove anything one way or another. But I’ll tell you, you know, because what I want to talk about now is that we took these suspicions and these invalid registration records. And you’re because you’re a lot of your listeners are probably sitting there thinking, well, you know, there could be like rash of people who’ve been hired inside of these election bureaus who just can’t help themselves from pressing enter at inappropriate times. And so. That could be the reason for these 1.4 million issues, and all of them could have an explanation. And we were concerned, and I know you were concerned, and some of your listeners and supporters were also concerned that the court would say exactly that to us when we brought them this data. And so we went a step further, right, Kim? And we went and we took one Colorado county together. With Kim Monson, we did this. We took Jefferson County, Colorado, and we took a look. We did a deep dive and tried to identify the registered voters who had voted in 2024. Because our question was, okay, let’s see if we can identify them. Maybe we can. And so maybe we should stop arguing about this in public and filing lawsuits. So through the help of private investigators, who are licensed and qualified to do this work. And, you know, we never looked at any personal identifying information, only the PIs did. We went into databases that are commonly used, they’re commercial, viable, accurate databases that are used for identity theft and fraud prevention, right? So somebody maintains these databases accurately and pristinely because they’re making money if they’re, you know, or they’re rather, let’s say they’re losing money if the databases are junk. So we did this work. And on a prevalence basis, we discovered that in Jefferson County, Colorado, in 2024, just under 20,000 voters who voted do not have a social security number. We found out that 1,790 voters who had their votes counted in Jefferson County in 2024 cannot be found in any of these databases, and we queried three of them. So we didn’t just look in one. We looked in three different sources of these commercial tools, and we cannot find these individuals at all. They don’t exist. But they voted in your Congressional District 2 and your Congressional District 7 elections.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay, Marla, so Marla, I need to go back and correct something here regarding what I had said regarding voter participation, because we want to get it right. And this is from, hold on, let me give you the source on this, Colorado Politics. It said about 3.19 million Coloradans cast ballots in the 2024 election, which was about 69%. And it says some 87 percent of active voters cast a ballot in the 2020 election. So that’s the second highest turnout in the nation. So I just wanted to clarify that. We’ve got a question here from one of our listeners. It says, ask Marley what specific information is typically missing when we were quoting that from the 1.4 million poll. in 2022. What was missing?
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, what’s missing is valid dates that are considered, and this is a legal term, material to determining eligibility. If you read the Voting Rights Act of 1965 or the Civil Rights Act of 1964, same thing really, you will learn that election officials are not allowed to deprive anyone of their right to vote if there are errors and omissions in their records that are not material. Conversely, if you can’t tell based on the information in front of you whether someone is qualified, you have to resolve that error on a legal basis. You cannot do it arbitrarily. You cannot ad hoc decide 628,000 times that the person in front of you or the ballot in front of you or whatever this is, is just legitimate because you just have a gut feeling that it’s legitimate. It has to be a legal process. Otherwise, we’re not controlling registration and voting. There’s no control. It’s not up to an individual. Everybody has to follow the same rules. So what’s missing, you know, legitimate dates, backdated registrations, January 1st registration dates, people who are older than 111, people whose effective date is the same as their registration date, but they’re inactive, voted before registered. This is technical election stuff, but nobody can look at this piece of paper with these numbers on it And tell me how exactly all 1.3 million of these things happen without looking into it. And when you look at the numbers, if your goal as an election official or a state official is to uphold the civil rights of your citizens, it is to make sure that not that the citizens have to take your word for election outcomes, but rather that you are a pivotal servant of inside of our beautiful republican system of government because think about this jenna griswold when she certifies the 2024 election for the state of colorado she simultaneously with her signature authorizes the entire state government and all of the federal representation from colorado this is not a ministerial task This is a huge responsibility, and it is one of the most important service roles that we have in our country. And when she looks at these records and tells you to go pound sand, and she doesn’t have to look at any of this, and there’s nothing to see here, and then on top of it, maybe she just, you know, vindictively goes after the one woman in Colorado who was bravely attempting to preserve records on behalf of her constituents, Tina Peters. Who can trust that person? Why should we? It’s not about election denying. It’s about responsibility. And she doesn’t want to do her job and she doesn’t want to be questioned. She doesn’t want to talk about it. She doesn’t want to hear about it. And that’s why we sued her in federal court together. Kim Monson and all of you guys, you all pitched in and helped with that. That’s why this is ongoing. And that’s why we conducted this study into whether Unite for Freedoms. can verify voters? Because if we found almost 20,000 Colorado voters just in Jefferson County with no social security number, how did Jenna Griswold verify those voters before counting their ballots? How did she do it?
SPEAKER 09 :
Great question. Marlee Hornick, we’re going to go to a quick break. We will be right back.

SPEAKER 09 :
And welcome back to the Kim Monson Show, and thank you to the Harris family who sponsors, one of the sponsors of the show, so that you get this information. On the line with me is Marlee Hornet, co-founder of UniteForFreedom.com, formerly known as United Sovereign Americans. And thank you to all of you and our followers. We raised the money for this lawsuit that we are talking about. And also we raised the money for this Jefferson County voter study. And this is really let’s let’s unpack this voter study just a little bit. Marla, you and I talked and I’d seen a report that you guys had done a study of voters in Orange County, California, which is a very populous county. And why all this matters, Marley, is because if these elections are not honest and transparent and secure, it affects the people that are in office that are making decisions. So, for example, out in Jefferson County, Rebecca Stewart was elected president. I have that in air quotes because we’re trying to check things out over my friend, Ramey Johnson. Rebecca Stewart had her name as a sponsor on the transgender piece of legislation here in Colorado that would basically allow officials to take kids out of the home if parents do not affirm. The child’s gender confusion. And so these elections really matter. And what we know is that Democrats and these judges are trying to put sand in the gears to stop the Trump agenda to try to get to the 2026 election. And if we don’t. if we don’t have, you know, free, fair, honest, and transparent elections, then, uh, we’ve got real problems. So I asked you to, uh, after I looked at the report that you had from Orange County, I said, what about Jefferson County? And I talked with some of my friends in Jefferson County. We raised the money for you guys to do the analysis of the 2024 election. So, uh, unpack that just a little bit more.
SPEAKER 08 :
Sure. And I, I just want to give a shout out to Ramey also because, um, She took on being a plaintiff in our lawsuit, which was an act of great courage. And I just really want to thank her for that. Another issue that we discovered inside of this deep voter identity study is that 16,000, actually almost 17,000 of the votes that were counted in 2024 in Jefferson County came from individuals who according to these law enforcement level databases, these commercial tools, that not only find people specifically if they exist or where, but also exactly when. When exactly did they live at a particular address? And you got almost 17,000 votes here from people who clearly no longer lived at the address they voted from Within six months of the 2024 election, which, you know, is a reasonable amount of time for election officials to have figured out that someone has relocated. So if they if their address shows there that they live there within six months of the election, we don’t even bother counting it.
SPEAKER 09 :
Whoops. Oh, gosh, I hope we didn’t lose her. I just heard a click. So you’re talking about just over 10,000. Okay. Marlee, you cut out for just a minute. So the voter address as invalid, is that separate from in Jefferson County from voters without a Social Security number?
SPEAKER 08 :
It’s possible that there are some records there that cross over, and it’s kind of difficult to measure how many cross over. So we left those at two different points of inquiry. Okay. And that’s why we didn’t total the votes there. You’ll see there were something somewhere between 22,000 and 42,000 basically suspected election fraud votes that were counted. And Ramey’s, you know, the margin of victory in that race was 10,000. So it’s, you know, already we’re well into… the threshold of materiality, or you could say, you know, more votes in question than the margin of victory itself.
SPEAKER 09 :
Jefferson County also voted to get rid of Tabor, Colorado’s Taxpayers Bill of Rights. Okay, so where do we go from here? We’ve got about three minutes left. You’ve got this big press conference tomorrow in Washington, D.C. at the National Press Club. What’s next, Marlee Hornick? This is amazing. And I can hear the conviction and the emotion in your voice.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, what’s next is this Colorado lawsuit. What’s next is other lawsuits around the country. We’re working at various levels of government where we have officials who are willing to sit down at the table, at least, and take a look at these issues. They are happening across the country, and really it’s up to the citizens. We have to decide that we are not going to accept invalid, bogus election returns, and they have to be able to prove results to us. before they’re allowed to govern. So this is really what it boils down to. All we want are real voters, real votes, real counts, and real proof. And Unite for Freedom obviously is going to keep working on this issue until we have it resolved. One thing I would say is that if people are shocked and angered about the results of the Jefferson County study, It is a possibility that we could do a statewide study. So if people want to expand the scope of what we’ve looked at, that’s on the table. And as well in other states, we have done these prevalent studies now in over eight different states. And every time we discover the same issue. How are election officials identifying and verifying these people before counting their votes? And if they’re not… Isn’t that the definition of criminal election fraud?
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, and what it does is it negates all of us as Americans. It negates our vote because if we cannot verify who these people are that are voting and if their voter records are disappearing, then that actually negates the legitimate vote of everyday Americans. And I’ve got to think most Americans think that that is not OK. We’ve got a minute left. This has gone so quickly, but really important information. Marlee Hornick, how do you want to wrap this up?
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, I just really want to encourage everybody to support us, help us in our mission. We’re going to be in D.C. all week. We have our major press conference tomorrow. It’s going to be live streamed through our Twitter account, X, which is United S American. And it’s going to be on a bunch of other platforms, too. I know Ann VanderSteel is going to be live streaming it. Joe Hoff is going to be live streaming it. He’s going to be there with us. So Definitely make sure you watch that. Please support our work. We’re working all over the country. We’re working with state officials who want to help, and we’re working against the state officials who don’t want to help, and they refuse to do the right thing by the American people. So please help us. Unite4Freedom.com. Unite4Freedom.com. And, Kim, thank you so much, as always.
SPEAKER 09 :
Thank you, Marlee Hornick. And this is so important for our country, for our children. And thank you for the great work that you’re doing. And the quote for the end of the show is from Tom Landry. He said, the quality of a man’s life is in direct proportion to his commitment to excellence. 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, and God bless America.
